00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:28.199
Good eating everybody. I welcome to
another edition of fire Up. Round two

2
00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:32.399
of our doubleheader began with an impressive
episode of Pundit Expundt. We always keep

3
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:36.359
our shows probably over an hour because
there's so many opinions that you couldn't go

4
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:41.159
out there and hit ping pong balls
against the wall fast enough the way they

5
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:45.799
were bouncing these opinions. But it
was a great show. Joined my colleagues

6
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:49.359
Jacob Christmer and Denzil Snips. These
guys are great. But now I'll tell

7
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:52.640
you what. You have another foursome
here, and a really good one.

8
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:56.920
It's called our Thursday Night foursome.
Ralph Williams back in the house after a

9
00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.960
week off, although the show was
in good hands when we brought to our

10
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.040
army on last week. I'll welcome
back. Thank you. I appreciate that

11
00:01:03.519 --> 00:01:07.719
you're welcome, of course. Jeremy
Ball, great time last week. Well

12
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.040
I'm glad No, No, I
was at the run She is here a

13
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.239
fundraiser last week. That's where I
was at. I got to meet Ryan

14
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:18.560
for a second time and it was
sponsored by one of my sponsors for all

15
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:22.640
my show's draft for one two Yeah, which is actually we work well with

16
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:26.599
them on Saturday's show. And I
should mention the sport order Jeremy is draft

17
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:32.239
our show. There was at the
Eternal Bum podcast external bump. Yeah,

18
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:36.200
I knew it was. It was
a bum X fell for it is what

19
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:40.920
its sports and I know it's a
heck of a show. And the time

20
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:44.760
from nine thirties is really good.
So that's fine. Thirty minutes. Show

21
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:47.359
goes faster than I can talk.
I don't know, it doesn't probably care.

22
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:49.760
Let you be the judge. Just
go out there and do that.

23
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:57.000
We gotta Denzil snipes, Uncle Scotty
and Uncle George. Yeah, we got

24
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:01.879
what we Patty cry We got uncles
into broadcasting business. I'm not gonna get

25
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:06.519
into the selling over there. George, it all too well. What's up?

26
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:12.360
And of course we got smoked in
Jeremy Irregular on this podcast. This

27
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:15.719
guy's a very busy man. Would
keep him busy at the Tribune and he

28
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:17.800
gets around. He's gonna be working
on some new endeavors to compliment the old

29
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:22.840
ones. And I'm counting on Jeremy
ball right before he has an opportunity to

30
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:27.280
really say something. Is to be
a real big player on Fire Up Wisconsin,

31
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.280
that's a show that I really am
counting on him to do. And

32
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:34.439
more importantly, he's outstanding a professor
in the pupil. So he does a

33
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:38.400
good stop job. So all right, Jeremy, take it away. So

34
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:43.360
are we gonna be talking a lot
about cheese? You know what they call

35
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:51.439
it? Broadcasting business? Jeremy,
Yeah, I believe so diversity. No,

36
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:55.280
we call it TBD to be determined. Oh okay, I see that.

37
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:59.960
That's where you got a lot to
learn, Barrock, it does okay,

38
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.120
all right, all right, back
to Denzel Stive. We gotta keep

39
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:08.680
this chat one, Adam twelve down
down Michigan respond going three, I don't

40
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:14.879
will you go? And lasting not
least my tag team partner for the batter

41
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:20.000
Part up three, George General electric
I Gorn Oh, I'm back, I'm

42
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.000
back, I'm back round two.
There you go. All right, Well,

43
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.879
I got some great topics, a
couple of parting shots. Let's get

44
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:29.479
to it right away, all right, Question number one, I'm gonna go

45
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:31.719
right to left in terms of how
we move this bad boy along, and

46
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:37.080
Ralph Williams, you are on the
clock. Okay, Well, Baker Mayfield

47
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:45.120
take advantage of his freshman in Tampa
Bay. I think Baker Mayfield's got a

48
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:50.120
new team, a new atmosphere,
a new offensive coordinator. And I think

49
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:53.039
Baker Mayfield's gonna take the ball and
he's gonna run with it. And I

50
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:55.680
think he's gonna do a pretty decent
show for Tampa Bay if he doesn't.

51
00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:00.840
Ye have Kyle Trash right there.
Okay, Well, you know, I

52
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.000
gotta go to the chat room before
Jeremy's gonna have to wait another few seconds,

53
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:08.159
all right, George, Apparently he
liked the way you want to It

54
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:10.560
sounds like you know what it sounds
like, George. Here, here's what

55
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:14.800
this got written all over it.
You struck accord with these guys. You

56
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.399
really really did the normal mellow George
corn All, the second rapped up and

57
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:21.800
it took m l in soccer to
wake him out and get him fired up.

58
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:26.240
There, Okay, if fire is
super up, George again, look

59
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:30.000
at this, George, I have
a feeling that Denzil Snipes is trying to

60
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:31.480
give you some tips how to handle
him. Fun It's funny. I know

61
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.879
I'm looking for a president at my
fan club. I don't know if Denzel

62
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:39.759
was available, never know, I'm
Mike, all right, Jeremy take a

63
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:45.120
stab at Baker Mayfield. The only
thing I worry about the reason why he

64
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.639
had success with the Rams in those
five games that he was able to start

65
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:53.839
when they signed him, is that
Todd mcvay's system is very close to that

66
00:04:54.000 --> 00:05:00.079
Shanahan system that they run in Cleveland
that he left. Is he gonna be

67
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.800
able to take that grasp or is
he gonna look like he did in the

68
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:14.879
first few practices that I watched on
YouTube where they were doing the music in

69
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:18.639
the background while him and Kyle trash
through at the ground instead of the receivers.

70
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:24.240
Okay, all right, George.
By the way, before I go

71
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:29.199
to Georgia, Mayfield goes through more
coaches, and I was getting, no

72
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:33.000
wonder what that meaning. Mayfield goes
from more coaches than most people go through

73
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:39.199
underwear in a week. Anybody else, all right? Anybody else on a

74
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.240
fill in the blank? You got
a better one in that, Ralph?

75
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.399
Well, No, I mean,
you know, he does go through a

76
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:48.319
lot of coaches. He's been through
on some teams. But we'll see what

77
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:53.639
happens. This new offensive coordinator for
Tampa that has come from Seattle's going to

78
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:58.879
working with quarterbacks and We're gonna find
out if his running the football system is

79
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:02.480
gonna work. They have to run
the football this year in order to succeed,

80
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:05.519
and I think if he just manages
the game, I think he'll be

81
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:11.079
a decent quarterback. George, you
want to answer that question, I'm staying

82
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:14.720
away from that. Well, you
know, you know, let's be honest

83
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:16.959
here. It's not all Mainfield's fault. They go through a lot of coaches,

84
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.959
okay, And this is something that
we've talked about before on other shows.

85
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:25.079
When you got to keep going through
a new quarterbacks coach or a new

86
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:29.519
offensive coordinator or this or that,
obviously it takes a toll. No,

87
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.000
I'm not trying to make excuses for
Mayfield, okay, because like you said,

88
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:34.759
Jeremy, I mean, he was
really good for the Rams when he

89
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:39.439
stepped in. He did a nice
job when Stafford was heard out there.

90
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:44.120
But the bottom line is, hey, he doesn't have anybody but himself.

91
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:47.439
He's got to do it now on
his own, so to speak. In

92
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:51.600
Tampa, Okay, there's no Tom
Brady around anymore. They need a first

93
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:56.079
class quarterback if they're going to contend. And I know that the vision is

94
00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:00.639
a little bit weaker, but still, I mean, he's got a good

95
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:02.560
tools. He's got a lot of
good tools. I mean, I like

96
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.600
the things that he brings to the
table. But again, you know,

97
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:10.279
let's not forget that when you bring
these guys in and they got to go

98
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:15.199
through different playbooks and different coordinators,
it does take a toll. That being

99
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:17.000
said, Hey, okay, so
give him a couple of games to get

100
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:23.040
things together. I did not see
that what you mentioned Jeremy about throwing throwing

101
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.680
passes in the dirt or the ground. That's not a good sign. But

102
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:31.079
hopefully it wasn't a sign that doesn't
have it doesn't have anything left anymore.

103
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:34.639
The tag. Yeah. The only
I'll say about Mayfield, he could say

104
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:38.600
Mulligan. As far as I'm concerned
for the Cleveland Browns, they went through

105
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:41.800
a lot of coaches being traded over
to Carolina and I don't think get much

106
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:45.959
of a chance there either, and
to go to LA for a little brief,

107
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:48.879
I think he could have been their
apparent Matthew Stafford. Had he has

108
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:51.920
stayed that I wanted to play now, so I really am pulling for him.

109
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:55.600
All he has to do is stay
off and not worry about commercials and

110
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:58.160
focusing on the playbook. If he
does that, he's me fine, all

111
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:01.600
right, I gotta go through these
comments in the chat room and we'll catch

112
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.079
up there. I think everybody feels
comfortable with it, that your thoughts are

113
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.920
with may feel correct everybody, Okay, So Denzil Nice, I'm running for

114
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.439
press. There you go. George
reach out to me better than what we

115
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:20.120
have, So there you go.
Yeah, yeah, there we go.

116
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:28.279
I think George's club. Yeah,
America, you've been gaining run for America.

117
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:30.759
I think any one of us here
could do better than what we've got

118
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:33.200
in the White House. Yeah,
no comment, I'm laving that one.

119
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.279
I don't hey, what you say, what can be held against you in

120
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.639
the court of your public opinion.
But I'm the I'm the guy running this

121
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:43.840
platform, so I don't want to
nobody coming at me. I don't want

122
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:48.720
people upset with me because I said
I wouldn't supposed to say for you.

123
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.679
Whatever you do, you know you're
doing it for you. You're doing nothing

124
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:54.679
for me with that. I am
staying away. I'm taking a bet,

125
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.799
all right. You know, I
don't know. Nice, Try Jeremy hat

126
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:01.080
stays on and I'll take the fifth
end of the story. Okay, all

127
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:05.600
right, let's keep going here.
This has part and become a blast already.

128
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:09.639
So all right, Denzil may Mayfield
still has weapons. If you canna

129
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:15.240
be twenty Mayfield, Tampa can won
the division because the division is still bad.

130
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:16.320
Oh that's really true. We're probably
gonna get to that in a little

131
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:20.159
while, so we'll sit on that
one now. I think Mayfield will be

132
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:26.639
the Cleveland Mayfield. I guess it
means well. Then again, I think

133
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:30.559
Pensman is from Pittsburgh too, so
I can understand why he might make a

134
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:35.039
comment on there. Guy, Yeah, you know what, he like.

135
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.639
You and Pensman get along really good. But he's big on Twitter. So

136
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:41.559
Ralph, when you start getting more
involved with Twitter, you'll you'll find out

137
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:45.080
who the pens Man is. And
he's gonna tell you now when you get

138
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:46.919
on here. He wants you to
subscribe to his YouTube channel, and I'm

139
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:54.440
gonna make sure it's a requirement to
keep you there. You go. There's

140
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:56.919
a little throwing your bone here from
your brother out in South Florida. Okay,

141
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.679
so if that said, okay,
let's keep it rolling, all right,

142
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:05.120
here we go. Mayfield does good
in Tampa when he plays the Lions.

143
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:11.399
All Right, you know what,
I'm not touching a lot of this,

144
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:13.440
all right. I agree with George
c Alex Smith, you know what,

145
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:18.600
there you go, get it.
And Denzel twenty twenty four futiful stuff.

146
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:22.200
Look at this guy. I love
the camaraderie tonight awesome. And before

147
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.120
I go any further, I just
want to really know that fire Up is

Benman for being on the show.
You've added a great dimension. And we

171
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:56.759
still have three more topics like a
couple of party shots a go. So

172
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:00.480
in case you're just joining us,
spread the episode here on wherever you want

173
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.919
to. We have three more topics
and two people get to the parting shot,

174
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:09.679
popping number two. According to Yeah
Who's Sports ESPN, analysts, John

175
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:16.000
McEnroe to miss the US Open coverage
after testing positive for COVID nineteen. There's

176
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:18.080
nothing to laugh about with this,
folks. COVID nineteen, Beck, We

177
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:22.000
don't take it seriously. A lot
of us could have some problems, even

178
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:26.399
though we're probably a lot more heavily
vaccinated. All right, Ralph, go

179
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:31.120
ahead, Yes, when we're on
parting shots you start, we got we're

180
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:35.000
not letting you off that fast.
So we're on topic number two, okay,

181
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:39.039
So I'll repeat it back to you
just so everybody can comment as well.

182
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:43.120
According to Yah who sports ESPN analysts, John McEnroe to miss the US

183
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:48.639
Open coverage after testing positive for COVID
nineteen tough for Johnny mac all right,

184
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:54.600
Ralph, Yeah, that's that's said
that John macro has COVID. Everybody has

185
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.799
to be serious about this, especially
in a sports world, you know,

186
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.679
around people and everything else. You
need to get your shots. That's exactly

187
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.399
what happened. I don't blame the
ten of spokes. We're doing this too

188
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:13.960
John McEnroe at all, you know, for testing positive for COVID and you

189
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:18.639
know, not being able to be
involved in any kind of tennis matches or

190
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:24.840
whatever. Okay, Oh, Jeremy, it's a shame in COVID nineteen has

191
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:30.279
never gone away yet You're just hearing
about less cases because I heard the new

192
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:35.279
strain is weaker, but it's more
communicable. But it's still going to affect

193
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:39.600
the older crowd the way it did
before. So therefore, if you think

194
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:48.039
you're sick, stay home, okay
or not. George, Yeah, it's

195
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:50.480
gonna be tough to miss McEnroe.
I mean, that guy's been an institution

196
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:58.240
on television ever since he hung up
his tennis shoes. And I'll tell you

197
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.159
what. I look forward to his
coverage of the US Open, and I

198
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.480
look forward to his commentaries every year. He's a really good analyst. He's

199
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:07.799
really gotten better, I think too, over the years. So he's doing

200
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.840
the right thing, and so is
the USTA. I mean, they don't

201
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:16.720
want him around. He should not
be around other athletes and other people because

202
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:20.200
of the fact that it is possible
for him to give give it to somebody

203
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:24.399
else. So as hard as it
is, this is like the Super Bowl

204
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.960
for Mac. I'm sure he's he's
not very happy about this. I know

205
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:31.679
that because this is the biggie,
this is the Biggie the United States is

206
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:39.240
greatest tournament in tennis is this tournament
at the Arthur Ashe Stadium and Flushing Meadows.

207
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:43.840
So all I want to say is
good luck and get healthy, John

208
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:48.440
Mac and we'll see you again next
time. And they I'll say about COVID

209
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:50.240
nineteen, it took the closest person
in my life, my angiity strolls.

210
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:54.840
So you know, I don't think
to this day i've really fully ever gotten

211
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.759
over her passing way too soon COVID
nineteen and when I was up and mentioned

212
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:01.440
when my mom was dying, think
about my wife and I had to stay

213
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.879
in hot till for two and a
half weeks taking leftover. So it's tough.

214
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:07.679
So the only thing I'll say is
Johnny Mack, hope you get back

215
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.360
there next year. I know it's
probably hard for you to miss these tournaments.

216
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:16.360
You've certainly established yourself after your playing
career as a dynamite announcer. They'll

217
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:20.679
get will soon. John, You're
being missed, but certainly not being by

218
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:24.679
no means you know we're thinking about
you. All right onwards we go Max

219
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:30.399
Sure's are booed by Mats and in
return to New York anybody's surprised at this

220
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:33.440
one, all right, Ralph,
Oh yeah, I'm not surprised at all

221
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:37.639
about that. And the end of
the Mets have been sort of average this

222
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:39.960
year, but they they're stepping it
up. I think they're gonna they may

223
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:45.720
do better as the season rules to
the closure Buck Show, Walter has that

224
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:50.840
he's always been a good manager,
but you know, he needs some improvement.

225
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:54.200
They're a little bit to get where
he needs to be. Jeremy,

226
00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:03.519
it doesn't really surprise anybody that the
New York City fans boo anybody when they

227
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:07.559
come back when they're with another team. I think they boo their own moment

228
00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:11.360
they signed with another team. I
mean, they're so salty. You know,

229
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:15.840
they hardly ever talked to each other
walking down the street unless they are

230
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:21.559
together. You can have five people
walk past each other and nobody lifts an

231
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:25.879
arm to say hi. Granted because
the sidewatchers so back because you can't drive

232
00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:33.159
downtown. That's interesting, all right, George, Well, this is a

233
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:41.559
really interesting situation because the way I
understood it, Max Scherzer told the team

234
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:45.080
and wanted to know, from team
ownership, where is your commitment to winning

235
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:52.519
this title? This year. He
was questioning their desire and their moves prior

236
00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:56.120
to the trading deadline. So if
I'm a Mets fan, you shouldn't be

237
00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:59.600
booing him. You should be cheering
what he did. He standing up for

238
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:03.559
Prince of all, he stood up
for your team and stood up against that

239
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:10.160
owner, mister spendthrift out there,
and yeah, thank you cold and you

240
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:12.599
know, so it's crazy, but
it goes back to what Jeremy said.

241
00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:17.319
I mean, anybody that comes back
to that city after leaving it will be

242
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:21.880
booed. But I don't. I
don't like this one because, like I

243
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:26.039
said, he smelled a dirty rat
ureser and that's why he opened his mouth

244
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:27.599
and said, Hey, if you're
not committed, then I'm out of here

245
00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:32.720
too. So justin Verlander left and
he left, and the whole bottom fell

246
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:36.240
out. Sure, Ralph, they
might play a little bit better or win

247
00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:38.319
a few more games the rest of
the year, but they're not going anywhere.

248
00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:44.599
And obviously that's that's a terrible,
terrible black mark on Cohen's face.

249
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:48.400
Yeah, you know, the reality
is we don't know that New York Mets

250
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:51.160
were spending money like there was no
end to it, and all of a

251
00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:55.400
sudden they find themselves near the bottom
of the division. I mean, but

252
00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:59.319
you know what, guys, I
always say this about when when team spent

253
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:02.920
a lot of money players that doesn't
necessarily guarantee them to go to the World

254
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:06.960
Series. These guys could get hurt
and a lot of other things could happen.

255
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:11.559
Look at the Dodgers. The Dodgers
had all these players last year and

256
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:14.680
they blew it. They laid an
egg, So I mean it could happen.

257
00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:21.160
Well, look a look at all
those great Yeah I'm sorry, Scott,

258
00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:22.920
but look at all those great Atlanta
teams too. Bobby Cox he won

259
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:27.559
one World Series one. He may
have won a dozen Pennants or whatever division

260
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:30.559
titles and all that. But the
Braves are another one that comes to mind

261
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:34.880
because they laid an egg and never
got more than one championship. Under Bobby

262
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:40.400
Cox, they got one championship.
I'd be more harder on if they got

263
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:45.680
zero for eleven instead of one for
eleven. So getting the rain certainly takes

264
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:48.920
a little bit of heat off,
for sure. But remember winning about baseball

265
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:51.960
carry another story. One hundred and
sixty two games, You're gonna have injuries,

266
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:53.359
You're gonna have a lot more players
to use during the course of that

267
00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:57.319
period, right, and let's say
his reality. I don't think everybody thought

268
00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:02.680
that the New York Mets were going
to be great with Justin Verlander and Max

269
00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:06.599
Scherzer at the helm. As it
turns out, they're playing in the state

270
00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:11.759
of Texas. And you also have
to remember too that no state income tax

271
00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:15.279
carry on off of feet off dependent. Don't forget the suspensions as well.

272
00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:18.960
I got to have a view of
those two. So luck show Walter can

273
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:21.799
only do so much at some point
or another. The players have to play

274
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:26.960
to their capability. So you know
what I deal with mentor New Yorkers down

275
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:29.599
here, I don't. They don't
bother me, I really don't. I

276
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:32.519
just listen what they have to do. That they are who we are.

277
00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:34.960
People in the Midwest are who they
are and accept them forward there you take

278
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:40.359
opinions, trust them the way we
see fed. So I don't think anybody

279
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:41.880
expected the mess. I think a
lot of people expected the Mess to be

280
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:48.400
ready for postseason play, not what
we experience in twenty three Onwards, we

281
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:52.720
go to the final topic of the
night before we go to a partying shot

282
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.279
NFC Division winners, our predictions.
All right, you know what we're going

283
00:19:56.359 --> 00:20:00.000
to start off with Ralph the Williams. I think it's gonna be the forty

284
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:07.200
nine Ers. They have a good
team. You know, Shanahan's gonna have

285
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:11.119
his team ready this year, and
they have rock perty back, so their

286
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:15.759
defense is good. It's either gonna
I think it's gonna be the forty nine

287
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:18.279
Ers. I'm talking about eats divisions. See, you're not getting out of

288
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:23.640
it with one division, Pale I
got you, or New York and Giants.

289
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:29.920
I would think also in the week
division, it's probably gonna be Tampa

290
00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:36.160
Bay unless Carolina sneaks in there with
Frank Raich. We'll see, Okay,

291
00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:40.839
keep going, Uh let me see, I'm trying to think of who the

292
00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:45.359
other division is. I'm sorry about
this. Mind n all eight divisions?

293
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:49.559
Oh AFC. Well, I think
the FC North. I think the Steelers

294
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:53.279
might have a chance. The Bengals. I will see what Joe Burrow does.

295
00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:57.680
Their offensive line is bad again in
Cleveland. I don't even care about

296
00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:03.640
Cleveland. I think the Fanski's on
eggshells this year. And Baltimore, Uh,

297
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:08.440
let's see what happens if if they
have any injuries, if they you

298
00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:11.799
know, if they sustain a lot
of injuries, I think they're gonna go

299
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:15.000
down. But I think the Steelers
might have a chance this year. I'm

300
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:22.119
looking at you know, for them
twelve and five keep going, and then

301
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:27.839
in the AFC South, I think
the I think Kansas City, you know,

302
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:33.319
we'll get it again, and Tennessee
See might be in there and the

303
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:38.480
other AFC division there. I believe
Tennessee could possibly stroll in there. They've

304
00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:44.279
improved their defense and we'll see what
their offense does. And I also forgot

305
00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:47.720
two guys on the NFC to mention
the Eagles stables have a chance as well.

306
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:51.880
We'll see what they do. Dallas
don't look too bad either. We'll

307
00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:53.680
see what happens there. With the
NFC, I'm sorry to go back,

308
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:57.880
but as far as the AFC goes, I think that, you know,

309
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:03.759
we could see Kansas City as far
as that as that division goes, Tennessee

310
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.720
and UH, and then the Steelers
are for the AFC North and then UH.

311
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.559
I think Miami might even have a
little bit of a chance, depending

312
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:14.880
on if they don't blow it in
the playoff game with one point in a

313
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:22.319
bad kick. So we'll see what
happens, Jacksonville has a chance to Okay,

314
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:26.000
so Jeremy, he's he's able to
get all the divisions. Then he

315
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:30.799
skipped one division and they have that
team that I got hanging behind me in

316
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:36.119
it. Yeah right, that's yeah, yeah, you know what, you

317
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:38.240
know what, Jeremy, Detroit might
do pretty good this year with Dan Campbell,

318
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:42.079
he's stock about some talent. I
think they're gonna do pretty good.

319
00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:47.000
He got rid of that bump Any
Smell, who's a bump. He got

320
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:48.160
rid of him. He was a
bumb here and he's a bump there.

321
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:53.119
They got Cam Sutton. Cam Sutton's
a good corner. He was, he

322
00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:57.359
was good with the Steelers. I
think Dan Campbell might might have a shot.

323
00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:00.079
We'll see what Detroit does this year. Really believe that to be the

324
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:06.480
case. Minnesota, We'll see what
Minnesota does. You know, they were

325
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:10.079
in the playoffs last year and they
blew it. We'll see what happens with

326
00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:14.160
Kevin McDonald that team up here.
All right, I'm gonna go to the

327
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:17.200
chat room. Will click. Patty
grinds my hot takes emces for New York

328
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:23.279
Chets and Philadelphia failed a win the
division. Okay, Patty New York Jets

329
00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:26.680
might not do too bad this year. They got Aaron Rodgers, you know,

330
00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:30.160
got him some receivers in a running
game. They got Devin Cook,

331
00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:36.799
they got Hizzy a band of Canada. We'll see. Let's go to Pensman

332
00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:44.119
George read it. Detroit NFC North
Championship Giants, NFC East, and Atlanta

333
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:48.680
NFC Atlanta. Okay, okay,
all right, it's okay. These opinions

334
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:52.480
are great. All right. I
think I think we got Ralph all covered,

335
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:56.119
right, Jeremy, Yep, alright, Sorry, I was a little

336
00:23:56.160 --> 00:24:02.359
tugging. Yep. Don't worry about
it, Ralph Lavan. Jeremy, Well,

337
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:04.640
I have it coming down to possibly
be in a tie and going to

338
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:10.200
the coin flip in the NFC West
with it being Seattle and San Francisco at

339
00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:12.960
the top. I don't see the
Rams getting back to greatness yet. They've

340
00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:18.279
got too many question marks on their
offense as well as their defense. Then

341
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:22.440
you got the Cardinals, which I
think they're fighting for the Caleb Williams draft

342
00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:26.799
pick, and they're fighting with the
team that they got the draft pick from

343
00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:30.119
the Texans, So I think they
end up with Caleb Williams and Marvin Harrison.

344
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:36.079
That being said, you've got the
NFC North. Minnesota lost a lot

345
00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:38.400
on that defense, a lot of
leaders and a lot of Pro bowlers,

346
00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:44.160
and I don't know if they did
enough to supplement that with what they got

347
00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:48.599
in the draft and free agency.
And then you got Detroit, of course,

348
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:52.119
who upgraded their worst part of their
defense, which was their secondary.

349
00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:57.519
When you're number one rated PFF corner
is Will Harris, you've got issues.

350
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:06.799
But Chicago, they're the most upgraded
team in the North, but they also

351
00:25:06.839 --> 00:25:10.559
were the bottom dweller last year.
Will they make a rise to nine wins

352
00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:14.200
like Detroit did from their three thirteen
in one year? I don't know.

353
00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:18.160
There's too many question marks. Did
Justin Fields learn how to read a defense

354
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:22.559
in an offseason? Who knows?
But and then Green Bay, we don't

355
00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:25.640
know what you have in Jordan's Love. Yes, he looked good in preseason

356
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:30.480
against twos and threes, but we
don't know what he's gonna look like against

357
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:36.039
NFL starting talent. So they're gonna
have to be a very run heavy team.

358
00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:38.839
I got the Lions win in the
North. In the East, I

359
00:25:38.839 --> 00:25:44.519
think it's coming down to Eagles or
Dallas. I don't know who's gonna be

360
00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:49.000
one and who's gonna be two.
In the South, I think it's Carolina

361
00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:56.759
because they've got a much improved defense
and they I think they personally improved over

362
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:00.640
Jamis Winston by getting Derek Carr.
I mean, you had the thirty th

363
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:06.519
the first thirty thirty quarterback in history, thirty touchdowns and thirty interceptions as your

364
00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:12.000
starter. Yes, but anyways,
Uh, okay, that's the af C.

365
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:17.960
Let's start with the West Kansas City
until someone had thrown them. In

366
00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:23.200
the North, I have a two
horse race between the Bengals and Steelers because

367
00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:30.319
I can't trust that the Ravens stay
healthy. In the South, I think

368
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:34.880
it's Jacksonville again because they improved and
they looked very much improved in that preseason

369
00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:44.079
game. Their depths beat our depth. Okay, nope. And what was

370
00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:51.720
the other one I gotta do yet? AFC East? Oh yeah, I

371
00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:53.759
think that's a two horse race between
the Jets and Bills, with the Finns

372
00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:59.480
possibly being second place. Whoever loses
between those two is going to be behind

373
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:07.079
the Fins as long as TWA stays
healthy. Okay, fair enough, all

374
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:12.200
right, They're all set, Okay, George, go ahead. Well,

375
00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:15.519
the nfcast obvious that I'm going with
the Eagles. I mean, they were

376
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:21.960
the class of the division last year
and the conference. So I'm taking Philadelphia

377
00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:26.079
again in the East. In the
North for all the same reasons that Jeremy

378
00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:33.279
and Ralph touched on. I looked
for a drop of the Vikings they lost

379
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:38.920
instead of gaining gaining extra strength,
they lost their strength. And Detroit just

380
00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:44.640
finished with a bang as we know
last year, just barely missing out Seattle

381
00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:47.720
grabbing that last wild card spot.
So I'm gonna go with the Lions to

382
00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:52.640
win the North. In the South, I'm gonna I'm gonna go with New

383
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:56.799
Orleans. I mean it's gonna be
a tight race. I mean, Jeremy,

384
00:27:56.799 --> 00:28:00.720
You're right about Carolina. They got
some good stuff going there and Atlanta,

385
00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:03.640
but I'm gonna go with New Orleans
as my favorite in the South.

386
00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:10.359
Over in the West, U s. Stafford and the Rams. It could

387
00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:15.119
have another long season. Clearly,
Seattle and San Francisco to me are the

388
00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:18.799
top picks out West. I'm gonna
go with Seattle. I'm gonna say that

389
00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:25.079
the Seahawks are going to take that
division this year and swinging over to the

390
00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:30.599
AFC. Well, the big news
obviously is Aaron Rodgers going to the Jets

391
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:37.720
and then being on HBO. But
all that is, you know, in

392
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:41.559
check right now, because they still
got a dethroned Buffalo. And I'm still

393
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:47.839
gonna say Buffalo's got it until I
see otherwives from Miami or the Jets contending

394
00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:51.599
with that new England. No way, I don't think. In the North,

395
00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:59.720
I'm gonna go with Cincinnati over Baltimore, Cleveland and Pittsburgh. I'll be

396
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:02.960
in the second tier there. I'm
gonna go with I like what I see

397
00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:07.039
out of the Bengals. Again.
In the AFC South, I can't go

398
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:11.839
against Jacksonville. What a great job
they've done. They put together a great,

399
00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:15.720
great offense and and like Jeremy said, they showed some depth when they

400
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:21.680
played the Lions in the preseason.
And they're also coming off of a fantastic

401
00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:26.079
finished last year at Jacksonville and they
won that playoff game. And out in

402
00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:29.400
the West, the AFC West,
well, I got to give it to

403
00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:33.920
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. They're
the Super Bowl defending champions and until somebody

404
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:38.079
can take that title away from them, they deserve to be the favorites in

405
00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:42.400
the AFC West. So that's what
I got, Scott, all right,

406
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:48.960
I'm gonna start out in the AFC
AFC East. Gotta go Buffalo. I

407
00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:52.680
really do believe the Buffalo is way
better than anybody else. You know,

408
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:56.640
Let's see how Aaron Rodgers handles and
boozing New York when things go badly.

409
00:29:56.440 --> 00:30:00.400
We're got so well for Max Scherzer, so uplow easily, you know what,

410
00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:03.119
George, I have a feeling about
Cincinnati. I don't know why.

411
00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:07.880
Joe Burrow is gonna be ready for
opening Day, and they've got some pretty

412
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:11.359
good offensive complimentary pieces Jamar Chase and
Joe makes them. So I'm going to

413
00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:15.319
ride you there with Cincinnati South.
I have to go with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

414
00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:18.880
Doug Peterson's a heck of a coach. He's such a heck of a

415
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:22.279
coach. It's too bad that he
had to cut his son, you know,

416
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:23.839
made one of the final customers.
I don't think it's going to affect

417
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:27.480
their Thanksgiving dinner. I think Daddy
will find a role from somewhere which is

418
00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:30.519
not playing football this year, unless
he needs them later. But I gotta

419
00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:37.400
go Jacksonville West. That's the easiest
one of the group. Tory Harmon could

420
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:40.759
be in Kansas City by the end
of the year. The guy was out

421
00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:42.480
last week when with to the Kansas
City Chiefs, I should point out a

422
00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:48.000
really good following with you Chiefs fans
out there, so keep supporting us.

423
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:52.480
We appreciate you. But I definitely
like the Chiefs to the NFC East.

424
00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:57.599
You know what I'm not going with
against Philadelphia? Oh way, Yes,

425
00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:02.240
they lost to coordinators, it doesn't
matter, and then lose a head coach

426
00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:06.200
and they still have a heck of
a quarterback. Until anybody goes out there

427
00:31:06.279 --> 00:31:08.759
and on seats the Eagles, I
am not going against them. I'm going

428
00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:12.640
to go with the Lions definitely.
In the NFC North, have to want

429
00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:15.039
to believe that they made some upgrades. I think a lot of the draft

430
00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:18.319
choices that most people thought weren't any
good are going to surprise a lot of

431
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:23.119
people, and a lot of draft
prognosticators are going to be eating crow Now

432
00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:26.559
Green Bay, we'll see what happened
with Jordan Love. At least he won't

433
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:30.240
have to be over Aaron Rodgers shadow. You know, I don't know why

434
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:33.440
I'm going to New Orleans as well
for some reason or another. Dennis Allen

435
00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:38.200
was seven in Ton last year and
brings in Derek Carr. And sometimes there's

436
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:41.799
a feeling when coaches get a second
opportunity that they make the best of it,

437
00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:45.480
and I have a fearing that then
as Allen will be one of those

438
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:48.200
guys that does it in the West. I want to say San Francisco,

439
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:52.359
I really do, but I'm not
comfortable with it. So I'm going to

440
00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:55.480
go with Seattle as well, if
for no other reason. I like the

441
00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:59.519
job Pete Carroll's doing, and they
always finds Diamond and Roughs over in the

442
00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:01.440
drafts. So there you have it
from all four of us. If you're

443
00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:05.599
listening and you didn't get it the
first time, feel free to read listen

444
00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:07.519
to the show. You'll get it, And then we'd like to have our

445
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:10.440
report card, whether we're right wrong
or you don't want to ever trust us

again for predictions. If you don't
trust us for predictions, we'll never take

447
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:17.240
it personally, because I'd like to
see how many people in the NFL ever

448
00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:22.240
get it right anyways, and see
what their early Super Bowl excitement turns out

449
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:25.480
when it comes down to the following
calendar. Yeah, beautiful stuff. All

really appreciate the involvement in the chat room.

464
00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:19.079
Kenny Evelyn is behind the scenes.
Of course, she did a wonderful job

465
00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:21.559
producing fund and fund it when we
let it off. All right, we

466
00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:23.400
go to this point in the broadcast
where we're gonna have a parting shot.

467
00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:27.759
George and I have decided to defer
against them, so we're gonna do is.

468
00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:31.079
We're gonna let Jeremy have his parting
shot first. Okay, kudos to

469
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:37.160
Brad Holmes for trading away and getting
draft capital for TJ Hocketts and who just

470
00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:42.759
reset the tight end market as the
highest paid tight end in the NFL at

471
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:49.720
seventeen point one million dollars per year
with sixty two percent of his salary fully

472
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:53.480
guaranteed over a four year span.
I mean, good for TJ that he

473
00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:59.680
got paid, but if he'd have
been exactly what Detroit drafted him for,

474
00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:04.480
guess what he'd got that money here. But the fact that he's bottom five

475
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:09.000
blocking tech talent and top ten receiving
talent as a tight end makes him about

476
00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:15.760
a fifteen to twenty tier tight end
in the league as a starter. And

477
00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:19.840
bear in mind University of Iowa football, they produced tight ends. I think

478
00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:22.119
they're considered a tight end factory as
well. So I like that one,

479
00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:29.039
Jeremy. All right, Ralph,
you're parting shot my parting shot is I'm

480
00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:32.159
glad that some of these guys who
played for the Steelers are on other teams

481
00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:37.440
and get cut. Party Burns has
got cut again. Now he's from Seattle.

482
00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:44.159
And then Benny Smell. I call
him Smell because he stinks got cut

483
00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:49.239
by the Detroit Lions, and you
know so. And Devin Bush barely made

484
00:34:49.320 --> 00:34:52.280
Seattle's team. The only reason he
made it was because one of their linebackers

485
00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:55.559
got hurt and they had to move
him in there. He was about to

486
00:34:55.639 --> 00:35:00.159
get cut. So I'm glad that
some of these teams are finally seeing the

487
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:02.519
Steeler saw and these guys, and
it was sad that that we had to

488
00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:06.000
put up with them. Out of
the three of them, two of them

489
00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:08.960
were number one draft picks. Arty
Burns was a number one draftick and so

490
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:13.679
was Devin Bush. And the other
one of them produced. Neither did Bense

491
00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:16.119
Now, so I'm glad they're all
gone. And I'm glad, and I

492
00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:22.639
wish Will Will or Cam Hey,
We're I'm sorry. Kam Sutton a lot

493
00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:25.920
of good fortune up there in Detroit. He's he's a great cornerback and a

494
00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:31.320
good character got too. So that
is my parting shot. Very good.

495
00:35:31.360 --> 00:35:35.360
Also, I just want to point
out on Saturday morning, nine thirty Eastern

496
00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:39.639
time, they have the External Pump, the External Pump Show, and that's

497
00:35:39.679 --> 00:35:44.679
with myself, you Mark Mancini,
and I believe Joe Kuklist joins us on

498
00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:49.239
there as well. That's the fastest
thirty minutes on Mancini Media that you're going

499
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:51.960
to see. So I feel free
to go enmate. It is fast,

500
00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:54.960
you know. I mean ral certainly
has a lot of advertisers, and he

501
00:35:55.119 --> 00:35:59.880
makes sure that they get their time. For sure. There's anybody definitely gets

502
00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:02.519
time, it's Ralph. I just
wish she can speed through the advertisers as

503
00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:06.840
fast as I go through some of
these promos. Just I try to spread

504
00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:10.119
them out now on that half of
our show. Well, I'm not busting

505
00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:14.000
your jobs. I just know that
I talk away faster than you. I

506
00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:17.000
have to somehow infuse that speed inside
of you so that we can get another

507
00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:22.159
two three minutes. I'm just kidding
with your Ralph all care, I you

508
00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:27.880
know, I it's no, it's
a good show. I've enjoyed being on

509
00:36:28.039 --> 00:36:30.760
it, I really do. I
mean we go to the topics really fast.

510
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:34.039
I mean, so I want to
go out there and check us out

511
00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:37.880
and you can also find I'll preview
it on my profile on Facebook and good

512
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:40.079
time. We go through it real
quick and I look forward to it every

513
00:36:40.119 --> 00:36:44.440
Saturday. So just to let everybody
know what my schedule is, I had

514
00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:46.440
in the next couple of days.
Tomorrow night over at hard Rock Stadium,

515
00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:52.920
I have the Miami Hurricanes taken on
the Miami of Ohio. Is it Hawks

516
00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:58.119
the red Hawks? I think it's
the red Hawks. Red Hawks. I

517
00:36:58.199 --> 00:37:02.800
really better Roethelsburger graduating it right,
Yes she did. And then of course

518
00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:08.559
on Saturday night, Florid Atlantic University
Hank takes on Monmouth and the debut of

519
00:37:09.079 --> 00:37:12.760
Tom Herman. So I think Tom
Herman is going to do a great job

520
00:37:12.840 --> 00:37:15.639
there. And Mario a good coach, oh he is. I think you

521
00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:20.719
should be thankful that they have him. And I can't tell you how much

522
00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:24.719
admiration I have for for to me
Mario Chrystobell. This guy's going to do

523
00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:29.679
some unbelievable things, and I'm glad
I had the opportunity to work with both

524
00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:32.320
of those. First class coaches are
unbelievable and I want to think to treat

525
00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:37.880
them a Cormack of Florida Atlantic University
has been a great person to work with

526
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:43.119
in Cameron Gorby for Miami. You
can't ask for a whole lot better pr

527
00:37:43.199 --> 00:37:45.760
people who work within them. So
with that said, Ralph, how don't

528
00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:47.920

ahold of you? Oh yeah? R

it right now. It's actually a

538
00:38:29.719 --> 00:38:31.920
good read. It's got lots of
pictures too, so the pages go real

539
00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:37.360
fast, so I think I'm halfway

562
00:40:21.480 --> 00:40:24.719
in the Downtown Monitor newspaper. Yeah. The one thing I'm really trying hard

563
00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:29.840
to do during the week, especially
with my schedule of being what it is,

564
00:40:30.639 --> 00:40:31.880
is I'm trying as hard as I
can to go ahead and double up

565
00:40:31.880 --> 00:40:36.960
a lot of different things. So
so yeah, and of course Jeremy Vullrik

566
00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:38.400
I like when he comes up with
this closing line, so we'll let him

567
00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:40.960
do that. So the one thing
I'm trying to do though is make sure

568
00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:45.119
we have back to back shows,
doubleheaders as often as I'm able to do

569
00:40:45.239 --> 00:40:46.519
it. Thursday night, I really
like the line up when you have pun

570
00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:51.119
a fun of leading in a firefar, so we'll let Jeremy wrap it up

571
00:40:51.119 --> 00:40:52.960
with his closing line, and I
want to before he gets his closing line.

572
00:40:53.119 --> 00:40:57.199
I want to make sure everybody has
a great Labor Day weekend and we

573
00:40:57.519 --> 00:41:00.320
look forward to the next episode.
I'll close it after Jeremy finished his final

574
00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:04.320
thought, go ahead. I just
want to tell everybody in the chat and

575
00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:07.639
those watching at home and around the
world, try every day to be a

576
00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:09.480
better person than you were today before, because that's the only way to make

577
00:41:09.519 --> 00:41:14.559
the world a better place. It
starts within here hold one, Okay,
