WEBVTT

1
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:27.399
The World Series is upon us.
All eyes on Arlington, Texas. I

2
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:32.960
never thought I would say that a
big weekend gonna be a big show.

3
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:39.479
Good Friday morning in the world or
the downbeat. I'm Kevin Turner, Danny

4
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:44.799
Baylis, Mike's Roy and JJ Jackson. Here. We are ready to do

5
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:53.119
a lot of stuff today. We
won't fully ignore the Cowboys. Goes Pepper

6
00:00:53.159 --> 00:01:00.960
Pavilion Cowboys three for all scorching hot
predictions coming up at eight o'clock thing this

7
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:07.920
morning, Tuesday thirty. We will
be very ragers intensive today. This World

8
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:14.760
Series begins tonight. Nothing kind of
the wild time of the year here get

9
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:18.120
the late October. The weather starts
to shift a little bit. The pumpkin

10
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:23.879
people are out. Halloween parties are
happening this weekend. Tuesday is Halloween.

11
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:29.480
Cold Front hits on Monday. Cowboys
have a noon or on Sunday. Mavericks

12
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:32.680
play what I think will be their
least watch the game of the year tonight.

13
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:36.760
You can hear that here on ninety
seven won the freak of course pre

14
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:41.400
game at seven. I think they're
pissed. I don't know that they're pissed.

15
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.120
They should be happy. They want
to know yeah, well, you

16
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.879
know, they beat the worst team
in basketball. I hate the NBA.

17
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.560
I hate how the NBA doesn't we
do a little buddy, Okay, but

18
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.599
I don't think these franchises really other
than sending like a supportive tweet out,

19
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:01.000
they don't really care about the other
franchise in the city unless it applies to

20
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:06.319
them. And I guarantee when the
World Series schedule came out, Cuban or

21
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:09.759
somebody had a fist on the desk, go damn it because home opener is

22
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:15.039
a big day. World Series Game
one schedule has been out all year though,

23
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:19.360
you know, yeah, but I
don't think the MAVs, you know,

24
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:23.879
we're worried. Yeah, no,
no, they weren't. I mean

25
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.800
he tweets and has the World Series
schedule been out all year? Well,

26
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.840
Friday the twenty I mean, yeah, they get it locked in of when

27
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:37.719
it starts Friday the twenty seventh.
We did that massive segment about scheduling in

28
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:42.560
sports. But I'm still incredibly fascinated
by it too. What a cluster,

29
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:46.039
dude, that was so good you
presented that. Yeah, it was really

30
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:49.919
good. NBA schedule. Oh,
when the NBA schedule dropped, I did

31
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:54.719
it and how complex and all the
algorithms, and it sounds impossible even now

32
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:59.240
with computers and whatnot, But can
you imagine doing that I don't know,

33
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.479
forty years ago, Oh my god, Yeah, it might have been easier.

34
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:05.759
Maybe there's less stuff going on at
venues like concerts and stabe, but

35
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:09.120
still, dude, all the travel
and everything which made me think there was

36
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:13.080
a I can't remember who it was, but some guy on Twitter posted this

37
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:15.319
thing, and Katie and I had
shared it with each other. It's like,

38
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.719
maybe this would be good when you
know the It was nearing the end

39
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:23.240
of the baseball season. We never
got to it, but it was talking

40
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:28.599
about how the teams travel, how
many of them have their own planes,

41
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:30.719
how many of them are using commercial
planes, blah blah blah, all of

42
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:38.719
that and just the amount of analytics, the amount of information and details that

43
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:44.360
were involved just to get a baseball
train, a baseball team travel schedule through

44
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:50.240
however many fifty series a year or
more was just mind blowing. Well,

45
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.560
just because the schedule has come out
first, and then you have to I

46
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:58.120
guess they're fairly well oiled. They
also have a lot of money for this,

47
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:01.919
you know, it's just a lot
of TV companies you gotta make happy

48
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:06.599
too. But imagine whatever seventy five
years ago whenever, like baseball, which

49
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:11.479
was I guess the first to expand
to the West coast, right, I

50
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:14.319
think I don't know that sounds right, right, I mean, because it

51
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:18.600
used to just be condensed in that
deep northeast to whereas all buses I would

52
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:23.680
imagine, right, yeah, yeah, trains and yeah, trains and then

53
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.480
they start finally flying with their propellers. I wonder what that was like when

54
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:32.000
Brooklyn went to LA. That must
yes, what we gotta go? Where?

55
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:40.680
What? On a plane? Like
that's a once a year type Like

56
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:44.439
imagine living in New York back then
and thinking of going to California. That's

57
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.920
like once in your lifetime maybe.
I mean that's like us going to Asia,

58
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.000
you know, or like some crazy
trip. Is a ten hour flight

59
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:56.959
back then? Oh my god,
well how long is it now? It's

60
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:01.399
six hours four five right from York
to Lay Yeah, five and a half,

61
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:05.279
six five, five and a half. So what was six ten,

62
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:11.519
six ten? What was the Furthest
West baseball team before Brooklyn moved to LA.

63
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:16.480
I wonder Saint Louis, Kansas City? Well, were those even Yeah,

64
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:20.879
I really don't know were those even
Saint Louis was It was a major

65
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:27.319
league, yeah, in the fifties, early sixties, and I can't remember

66
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.319
when Brooklyn moved. I think it
was in the late fifties. I don't

67
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:38.560
know. But anyway, that evolution
of the travel requirements had it even wilder

68
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:44.879
back then. Like now they got
it figured out well and now they I

69
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:46.839
wish that I had had that article
pulled up. And I know we're going

70
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.759
to be talking about this, but
just the fact that the way that these

71
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:54.839
players kind of are treated and live
their lives now, as far as diet

72
00:05:54.920 --> 00:06:00.240
and exercise and all of the thought
and infrastructure has to go into that,

73
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:02.120
providing them meals. When do they
eat, what do they eat, what's

74
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:06.800
available to them. Baseball players used
to eat so unhealthy, just just meat

75
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:14.920
and whiskey, right, that don't
be There are very few Kirby Pucket Tony

76
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:20.399
Gwynn types, you know, maybe
a couple back then, pretty common figure

77
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:27.839
for baseball players. Those are awesome
players. Cecil Fielder, Yeah, you

78
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:31.879
know, like we don't have any
fatties anymore. I know, it sucks

79
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:35.040
because it's always fun when you see
when you're like, that's huge. At

80
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:41.360
John Singleton guy for the Astros,
that was a big bopper. Yeah,

81
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:44.560
he's around. We shouldn't have walked
in, but we did. But probably

82
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:49.959
an incredible aerobic condition, you know, like fast and could probably run five

83
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:56.800
miles or without too much effort.
They look big, but they're still in

84
00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.199
remarkable shape, whereas back in the
day you had to be you know,

85
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:04.839
those guys that are just born with
those body types and they don't work out,

86
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:10.160
they don't do anything. They smoke
cigarettes and eat steak and whiskey and

87
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:15.680
they're seventy years old and still rail
thin and muscular. That you had to

88
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.319
be born that way to be an
athlete back then because they weren't working at

89
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:21.720
it like they do now. Now
it's like you can be born with not

90
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:27.439
maybe the best body, but have
a very disciplined regiment and kind of will

91
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:32.279
yourself and work yourself into professional sports. Yep, That's what I'm gonna do

92
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:39.000
one day. Now you still have
the first time left keV hopes of being

93
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:44.720
lean and yeah hot, there's a
part of it's given up on that thirty

94
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:48.319
five. I mean, I've like
I still have that. I'm forty seven,

95
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:50.319
I'm like, all right, if
I just you know, there's another

96
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:57.720
fifteen and I get some punches,
maybe have that nice v the visible hips,

97
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:01.079
you know, and just kind of
with the veins. Yeah, maybe

98
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.279
it'll happen for me. I'd hate
to give up on that. I tell

99
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:09.560
you, I got a motivation.
I lost like almost I think I lost

100
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:16.439
over over thirty pounds. It was
on the end of like thirty one pounds.

101
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:22.519
I had a TV show, like
there was the motivation, TV's Tighten

102
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:28.279
Up. And it was hard work
and it sucked. How'd you do it?

103
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.440
Mostly just change your diet and yeah, cut out the roller town.

104
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:39.759
I cut out everything. You can
only drink water and you could only eat

105
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:45.080
vegetables and it sucked. Man,
she lost thirty pounds, Yeah, I

106
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:48.000
mean it was. That was my
top note was like thirty one. Maybe

107
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.919
I got to thirty two. That
was your lowest adult weight? Was adult

108
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:54.559
weight? When I got down to
like to twelve, that was then yeah

109
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.279
to twelve. Yeah that's good.
Wait, so you've always been a big

110
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:03.879
dude. I got out of high
school and I was a skinny guy in

111
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.519
high school, and then once I
hit puberty, I got all weird.

112
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:13.799
Man, My metabolism shut down and
yeah, crazy, So you've been You

113
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:16.600
were two hundred when you graduated high
school. Probably you're a football player though,

114
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:20.279
too right? Not really didn't get
to play. I was on the

115
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:24.799
team. I bet you were.
I refused to play. I thought you

116
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.799
were a hell of a pulling guard. Hell no, dude, bro,

117
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:33.639
I was not doing anything that involved
blocking. Weren't you a cornerback or safety

118
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:39.120
or I told coach I'm playing wide
receiver and cornerback, and I also am

119
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:41.360
not playing defense, so don't put
me out there. I said, have

120
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:45.600
a seat, little buddy, I'm
playing wide receiver. I was in charge

121
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:48.399
of that team. How did you
not have to go two ways at a

122
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:54.840
two way school? Because? Oh, they they couldn't have done They couldn't

123
00:09:54.840 --> 00:10:01.159
have said anything with blackmail firmly in
play really follow and probas you talk about

124
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:07.440
it honestly. But the point is
wide receiver. He had the goods on

125
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:11.879
a teacher or a coach that had
been doing something inappropriate. Really, I

126
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:16.919
guess I wouldn't say that I did. You said it, Okay, I

127
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:22.240
would didn't deny it. That's what
it was. So Halloween, are you

128
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:24.000
guys going to a Halloween party.
Like, there's Halloween parties all weekend.

129
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.360
I don't care about they get going
tomorrow nights to be Halloween party Capital.

130
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.279
You're about to expose a scandal and
all me and yeah, you just kind

131
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:37.000
of segue away finally do something important. There are no scandals. I was

132
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.799
a pulling guard for a while,
just because you mentioned that. Really,

133
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.759
yeah, I remember freshman year.
You walk in there and they're like,

134
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.879
what do you want to play?
You know, offense or defense? You

135
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:50.399
know, and I'm thinking it be
the damn quarterback. You kidding me?

136
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:54.480
So on my offense and they just
throw me a jersey that says sixty three

137
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:56.000
on it. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. This

138
00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:01.360
is not the plan. This is
nineteen twenty four. Yeah. But when

139
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:05.399
you are a guard, which I
did spend a year a year until they

140
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:09.200
moved me to tight end once they
realized the weapon. They had the perfect

141
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:15.480
weapon. Good hands. I did
have good hands, but I it was

142
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:20.080
a run. We threw the ball
four times per game. This sucks.

143
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.519
And we had a wide receiver named
Amp Campbell who went to Michigan State on

144
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.279
a full ride. We had an
Amp. Did you really yelled him.

145
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:30.440
His name was Anthony MP We did
too, and I don't is no one

146
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:35.600
in the damn NFL that was Was
there an amp Lee, f Su,

147
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:39.759
maybe Amply whatever it was. That's
funny you had one because it's cool.

148
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:46.240
As almost just SAIDs it's pretty casual. We had Amp Campbell who went to

149
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:50.240
Michigan State full ride. I mean, he was a badass. So among

150
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:52.840
the four passes per game we threw, how many do you think went to

151
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:58.440
Amp Campbell? All the future Spartan
all four? Yeah, the tight end,

152
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.559
pop pass it and get a lot
of action. What were you guys

153
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:05.519
doing running the wishbone or the beer
or what wishbone? Are you excited?

154
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:11.759
I did everyone love the triple option
so much back in the nineties because basically

155
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:16.840
you were running. It was a
confusing formation. And if you had the

156
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:20.320
run confusing after you've like seen them
play one time, it just gives you

157
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.200
it's either going to fullback, either
the quarterbacks going to keep it, or

158
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:26.399
he's going to pay. You got
three things they got to stop if you

159
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.960
have if all they do, the
wishbone is terrible if you don't have the

160
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:35.279
personnel. But if you do have
the personnel. It's unstoppable. It's truly

161
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:41.799
unstoppable. It's stoppable if you have
disciplined defense who reads their keys. Okay,

162
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:46.200
the fullback better be a beast than
and able to go get five every

163
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:50.519
time you give it to him at
the middle. Otherwise, because the fullback

164
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:54.080
can be rendered obsolete. If you're
able to shut that down real quick,

165
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:58.279
it's easy. I've just weeded out
one of your options because you know they

166
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:03.960
ain't throwing. Nobody stopped our stupid
wishbone. It was amazing how our why

167
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:07.080
even cover the wide receiver. We
had, not me, but we had

168
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.639
really good dudes. We had Tim
Alexander as our quarterback. He went to

169
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:13.720
the NFL seventh rounder, but he
played at Oregon State. They were good

170
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:18.320
there. We played. I played
against Tommy Frasier, the Nebraska man who

171
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:24.480
won the Heisman or was real close
to it. And Peter Warwick, oh

172
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:30.320
wow, of FSU. He went
to Bradenton Southeast Southwest Southeast Southeast played against

173
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:35.080
him there. But they're bad ad
and we all they ran wishbone, give

174
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:39.799
or take we all did. It
was just a big wishbone fight with tight

175
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:46.639
ends doing nothing. We ran the
straight two tight end, one flanker,

176
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:52.679
pro set veer, and I think
we had like seven or eight plays that

177
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:58.480
were and maybe like five or six
that were the go tos, and if

178
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:01.600
you had the personnel, you just
stop it and we were fast. That's

179
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:07.279
how we won State was sheer speed. You had pulling guards that could run

180
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:15.720
so fast and get out in front, and we would run bases, veers,

181
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:20.600
sweeps, just load up and run
and it was unstoppable in those first

182
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:24.360
couple of years, or just like
freshman year, because ours, much like

183
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.440
every school now, is kind of
a football factory where when you're on your

184
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:31.840
freshman team, they don't care you're
learning this wishbone. So by the time

185
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:35.320
you get to varsity, everyone knows
what they're doing. You know. That's

186
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:37.840
how it worked. So we weren't
even equipped for it for the freshman team,

187
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:41.159
but we still ran it like crazy. So I was a pulling guard

188
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:45.080
a ton, and like, blocking
in the trenches is really damn hard,

189
00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:50.159
and I still nothing but respect for
o lines, which sort of determine how

190
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:54.759
good your team is on every level
always and they're like so underappreciated. But

191
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.600
that was hard than trenches. But
boy, when you got whatever the play

192
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:01.039
was for the pulling guard, and
it was you and the tackle pulling.

193
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:05.639
I mean I remember a dozen times
where you, you know, hike,

194
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:11.080
you cut out behind the center,
you run and you can see the defensive

195
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:16.039
end who has that moment when their
tackle doesn't hit them yep, and they're

196
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.840
like, no one's blocked. Bam. Yeah, the blind side like this,

197
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:22.399
they get left, they're like,
there's the quarterback boom and you just

198
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:26.519
full speed t off this dude who's
probably bigger than you and better than you.

199
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:31.480
But it's like advantage pulling guard.
We had the same It was the

200
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:33.679
same concept, but it was downfield. So I played left side tid end,

201
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:39.639
which is our weak side, and
my sole responsibility on ninety five percent

202
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:43.879
of the plays was to chip the
defensive end, slow him down a little

203
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:48.679
bit, and just run downfield across
field. So if they played did break

204
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:52.960
beyond like five or ten yards,
yeah, I'm there to smush crackback time,

205
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:56.159
not really crackback, but basically you
would have the you know, I

206
00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:58.639
guess you know what they called They
didn't even call them safeties back then,

207
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:03.320
they called them halfbacks. What Yeah, that's dumb. Yeah, we had

208
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:08.840
cornerbacks and we had halfbacks, and
your your job was to basically blindside the

209
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:14.159
halfback and smosh him. And man, there's nothing more fun than just an

210
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:19.679
unsuspecting clean hit that just sends some
little one hundred and twenty five pound kid

211
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:26.480
that's shaken in his cleats back there
into the sideline. Good block Bayless,

212
00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:33.000
you heard that once? Good block
Bayless Bayless. Yes, And our cornerbacks

213
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:37.399
we had these two. I'm not
trying to turn into Uncle Rico, but

214
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:41.960
on defense are two two cornerbacks.
And you probably remember if you guys are

215
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:45.879
running that type of offense, your
defense was not dissimilar to this, where

216
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.360
the other team would try to do
the same thing. You know, they'd

217
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:52.000
run a lot of sweeps, a
lot of bellies, and the cornerback's sole

218
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:57.320
responsibility was to cut the lead blocker. So if you had a running back,

219
00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:00.080
you had a couple of pulling guards. The corner job was to just

220
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.519
run as fast as he could at
the knees, chop him down and chop

221
00:17:03.599 --> 00:17:08.319
them down and just create a massive
triage in front of the running back to

222
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:11.279
slow him up. But I don't
think you can do that anymore. I

223
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:15.119
don't think the corners can can cut
lead blockers like that in the NFL or

224
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:19.759
anywhere for that matter. I think
I touched the ball three times. I

225
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:25.319
got two tight end pop passes which
we reeled in. Ah. The pop

226
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:27.960
pass very common in those crappy offenses, yes, because the last thing they

227
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:32.960
expect is obviously a pass, much
less amp camel not to get it.

228
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:37.480
I think I got a first down
once, I got a two point conversion.

229
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:41.640
Yes, that was it. I
had big days in JV and Junior

230
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:45.279
I, but when we get DI
varsity, big days turner because I was

231
00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:52.079
skinny and athletic, and then after
I hit puberty and get like just slow

232
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:57.960
and just it just stuck to my
sides the way it did. So everybody

233
00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:02.559
wants to talk about hardwork and all
these things, I don't believe in them.

234
00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:07.559
That's probably also that discovered a beer. I did kind of stop believing

235
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:11.599
in discipline and hard work. You
got radio body. I got so mad

236
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.880
though, because like when I,
uh, my brother's six years younger than

237
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:21.279
me, and coaches leave, or
when I left, and then the town

238
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:23.640
kind of changes, some of the
coaches leave. My brother was running,

239
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:27.519
he was the quarterback, and they
were running four wide receivers. One running

240
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:33.640
back modern and modern offense, and
they did not have the person off for

241
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:37.160
that because my brother got destroyed.
That just got killed a lot, you

242
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:41.000
know, because of lack of an
offensive line to run that type of offense.

243
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:44.440
Probably, but I was like,
you're still on the ball like thirty

244
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:48.519
times a game. It's incredible.
It wouldn't never have let us do that.

245
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:51.079
Oh my god, that would have
been so great. It would have

246
00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:55.519
been pretty decent receiving tight end.
I was slow, but I could catch

247
00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:59.519
everything same. I would have caught
a good couple few balls a game and

248
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:03.680
probably a couple touched. I mean, obviously nothing's real good because I probably

249
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:10.599
ran up. Maybe I ran a
sub five at my best. But yeah,

250
00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:11.720
when you're in the wishbowe, you're
screwed. I told you this one

251
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:15.200
before. The best thing ever was
because I ran a lot of Scout team

252
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:17.920
because I could catch, and we
played against a lot of passing teams,

253
00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:21.480
so they needed to simulate that.
You know, this is a very noble

254
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:25.920
the real heroes of any team or
the Scout team players. And I was

255
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:27.759
standing by the coach once and the
running back got hurt or something, and

256
00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:32.039
they don't care who they throw in
there, and the coach just grabbed me

257
00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:37.799
try and he put me in at
tailback, like to simulate it because I

258
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:40.440
happen to be the closest one to
him. And they say bone right,

259
00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:44.000
thirty two dive right, which is
you know, wishbone right, but we're

260
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:48.359
handing it to you on the what
two gap? Hell yeah, right to

261
00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:51.519
the right of the center. I
mean it's a dive right at the middle.

262
00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:55.759
I'm like, okay, I know
what to do. I got my

263
00:19:55.799 --> 00:20:00.880
little running back stance. And it's
such chaos football, such chaos that it

264
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:03.119
even if you've played high school you
know it a little bit. Well,

265
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:07.160
god, it's chaotic. They snap
it. This bastard gives me the ball,

266
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:08.240
and I'm like, all you have
to do is run dead straight.

267
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:11.880
And I was with the starting to
eat or no, we were a scout

268
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:15.519
team. Anyway, they blocked it
good and I got through the line and

269
00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:18.880
I think I feel like I ran
for twenty five yards. I probably ran

270
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:23.240
for four. And I remember having
a moment of oh my god, I

271
00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:26.680
could do this. I might have
even I had a flash in my head

272
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:29.519
like they're gonna switch me to running
back while I was running this ball.

273
00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:33.079
It took a total of one second, and my buddy John Haskins and I'm

274
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:37.559
going to Stanford and got drafted by
the Chargers, lit me up so hard.

275
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:44.200
There has never been a quicker fumble
in football history because I completely forgot

276
00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:47.559
I had to be holding the football
or god forbid, squeezing it, which

277
00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:49.440
is another thing in football that you
don't think about a prioritizing, is the

278
00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:52.720
protect the foot. I mean,
we all know protect the ball because we're

279
00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:59.720
on our couches like a bunch of
faddies, but the actual concept of holding

280
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:03.759
this maybe with one hand and not
getting it knocked out or getting lit up.

281
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:07.720
The ball went flying. I fumbled
it up. I'm gonna be the

282
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:11.920
running back. I think I thought
that in a milliseconds. Dude, they're

283
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:15.880
switching me, They're switching me to
running back, and then boom, flying

284
00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:21.319
football and then me and John are
landing on the ground laughing. He drilled

285
00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:23.720
me so hard, and I was
laughing that I forgot. I wasn't supposed

286
00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:27.160
to fumble. You forgot you had
the football. I don't know, but

287
00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:30.680
I just wasn't thinking squeeze it.
I was definitely just holding it like I'm

288
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:36.079
running out playing in the street,
mailbox, the mailbox. Did you ever

289
00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:41.400
play against any girls? No?
Ken in junior highe there was a school,

290
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:45.599
you know, the Little Hamlin Yeah, of course, the Pied Pipers.

291
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:52.039
Pipers. Yes, they had a
middle linebacker chick and she was awesome.

292
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:56.319
And our quarterback getting hurt and I
was the backup quarterback. So you

293
00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:59.920
know, basic steps in the three
man, the the and the triple option.

294
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:03.799
You know, okay, we're running, Ve're right thirty. Okay,

295
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:08.240
here we go, fake the hand
off to the full back. I'm keeping

296
00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:14.920
it and I'm definitely wanting to pitch
the ball because about four times I just

297
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:21.480
got smashed by this girl. I
mean, dude, broken ribs. It

298
00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:23.680
felt like. I mean, I
didn't break a rib, but I was

299
00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:27.200
every time, knock the wind out
of me. Get up, and I'm

300
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:30.079
like, I've got to go do
it. We didn't have a third quarterback,

301
00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:33.640
you know, I mean, that
was a tough one to take in

302
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:38.880
eighth grade. I mean every time
too, like she's like, oh yeah,

303
00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:41.920
they're not giving it to the full
back. I was like, okay,

304
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:44.160
fine, I'm just gonna get the
full back every time. Now she

305
00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:48.039
was clocking you. Oh my God, and you wanted to pitch it was

306
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:49.799
and then I mean, dude,
I bubbled one of them too. That's

307
00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:52.519
why I thought about this. It's
like one of those pitches you're supposed to

308
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:56.359
like, you know, give a
little time and it's like the pitch doesn't

309
00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:03.559
even go backwards because your phone bullet
shoots out. Oh that was that was

310
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:07.519
a I mean when you're in eighth
grade too. That's the worst thing is

311
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.680
getting destroyed by a girl at anything. Now I can handle it. Get

312
00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:17.400
destroyed by women every single day because
of what they do in this world.

313
00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:25.039
I didn't recover one fumble in a
game. Neither was getting out of it.

314
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:29.160
Someone texts KT you got to share
that clip that you shared for the

315
00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:32.880
Bendskin Show a couple of years ago
of you taking the ball like fifteen yards

316
00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:36.279
around the left end. Oh yeah, what does that mean? Dude?

317
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:40.839
Yeah? Dude yeah. So yeah. One of my buddies is like going

318
00:23:40.839 --> 00:23:45.759
through old tapes and digitizing stuff,
and he was on a run of sending

319
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:51.440
me highlights and it's a play of
you, yeah with the radio call running.

320
00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:56.920
No, it's me taking an end
around like a video. You guys

321
00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:00.519
can see how slow I was I
would give anything if somebody would go back

322
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:04.119
to the mid eighties and digitize all
of our game film. I know it's

323
00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:08.440
got to be in that old ass
field house in Knox City in some library

324
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:15.359
lockdown on VHS. That's well,
creative can digitize it for you. I

325
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:18.359
mean cash digitize all of our dad's
old boat races and stuff. Yeah,

326
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:21.839
that's true. Wonder if they'd actually
trust me to bring those to Dallas and

327
00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:26.000
get them done. How much does
he charge? I don't know for you,

328
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:29.279
but a healthy double healthy He could
probably show me how to do it.

329
00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:32.480
Yeah, I'll just do it honestly, but yeah, I would pay

330
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:33.680
for that. Doubles. You have
the opposite of you, Mikey. I

331
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:37.680
could get open because I was tall
as crap compared to anybody else. So

332
00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:41.799
if basically you just threw the ball
above everybody else's head, in theory,

333
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:45.759
I would be able to catch it
and I could get open. Problem was

334
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:51.880
cement cinder blocks for Yeah, yeah, terrible, just couldn't see. Me

335
00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:55.920
and Sory were both won the award
for best Hands. But you get that.

336
00:24:56.039 --> 00:25:00.240
You get that stigma early on.
You know, if you can't catch

337
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:03.960
when you're a freshman, then you
carry that with you the rest of your

338
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:07.680
your high school football career and they
never go back to you. My coach,

339
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:11.920
coach Lobo, I think it was
except I caught a lot of balls

340
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:15.160
and scouts team really good, pretty
good catches, and he's like, gee,

341
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:18.039
damn it, sir, roh,
you got NFL hams and a powder

342
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:29.079
puff body. And I swear I
was like, thank you, that is

343
00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:37.279
lovely. All you heard was nfln
for a reason, it puff body.

344
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:41.400
He also yelled at to you,
guys, my buddy Dan, it doesn't

345
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:45.839
matter who. And they were doing
drills and like hitting in each other and

346
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:51.799
he goes, you two look like
a pair of big floppy teas slapping together.

347
00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:59.559
There's nothing better can coach speak,
And especially in high school, yes,

348
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:02.880
cause they're saying stuff. You're like, oh my god, there's a

349
00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:07.799
nasty bit. There's some stuff you
couldn't One that I think happened every single

350
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:11.599
year from freshman through senior was when
you'd show up for two days and our

351
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:15.359
you know, you're supposed to work
out in the summer and hit the weight

352
00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:18.599
room and be on this regiment and
be running and everything, and he'd show

353
00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:23.400
I'd show back up for two a
days, winded on sprints by the second

354
00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:27.160
one with long hair, and I'd
have to get my hair cut, Bayless.

355
00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:30.440
If you spend as much time in
the weight room as you do plunking

356
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:37.079
guitars, you might actually start this
year plunking guitars. Plunking guitars. You

357
00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:41.160
know, they make you go in
on Saturday mornings after the Friday game and

358
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:44.319
I go to be quick, and
I remember the coach told me and I

359
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:45.519
was like, well, I'm not
gonna go. It was like not Saturday

360
00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:49.359
early morning. It was like a
eleven a m thing. But I had

361
00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:53.720
tickets to my first ever Dave Matthews
concerts, and it's like you just want

362
00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:57.000
to say. I was like fifteen. My parents were going. They were

363
00:26:57.240 --> 00:27:02.799
driving and like my mom and they're
like, you know it's Saturday. Like

364
00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:06.279
you're good, Like you've been to
everything. You never missed a school,

365
00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:08.039
you never miss a practice. I've
aig deal. We're gonna go up to

366
00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:11.839
Dallas early. And I remember telling
coach like, I'm gonna make it Saturday

367
00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:15.920
morning. Like he goes, you
need to get your priority straight. I

368
00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:18.119
said, they are straight. I
don't even play perfect. What are you

369
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:22.200
talking about? Perfectly along. There's
exactly what I want them to be.

370
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:26.680
They are straight. I don't even
want to play football. I only do

371
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:30.200
it because we kind of have to. Yeah, you had to. It

372
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.640
wasn't really an option. It was
either that or you were in study hall

373
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:37.839
and the only athletic event you would
participate in would be the Special Olympics.

374
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:41.960
I'm not kidding. Yeah, it's
amazing being told to get your priority straight.

375
00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:45.119
Like really, I think they're pretty
much in line with what I want

376
00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:48.319
to do. Dude, at that
age, I don't have delusions of I

377
00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:53.240
don't know the NFL right now,
all right, we have a full slate

378
00:27:53.279 --> 00:28:00.640
of high school action this weekend,
right school games galore. That was the

379
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:04.839
saddest trip down memory lane. We
highlight the negatives. We didn't highlight all

380
00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:07.440
of our highlights. No one wants
to hear that. Wait to see my

381
00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:11.480
football highlight. I'm going to show
you in the break, JJ understand.

382
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:17.640
I bet JJ would have let you
up. She had actually broken those ribs

383
00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:21.039
broke OKT. Yeah, get the
football handed a lot of anger in high

384
00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:26.960
school. I probably would. You
could have caught me because it's a slow

385
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:30.640
man on your worst end around ever
okay, coming up, next, most

386
00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:33.440
important thing in the world. It's
clear what the most important thing in the

387
00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:37.519
world is you do for this is
it's world series time, The Rangers.

388
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:44.759
The Rangers series, they're already doing
bits next to ninety seven won the Freak
