Speaker 1: Good evening, everybody, and welcome up to another episode of
Speaker 1: Fire Up. I hope you're all fired up as I am.
Speaker 2: Oh, we are, Candy, You're back from vacation. We be waiting.
Speaker 2: We've been waiting for you. We're waiting. We're still waiting.
Speaker 2: And I know that y'all had a fantastic time, and
Speaker 2: I hope that you did and you deserved it.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you. I appreciate that. And with that being said,
Speaker 1: I actually prepped a little bit tonight. We actually have
Speaker 1: two pictures that I'm gonna share with everybody. The first
Speaker 1: picture was taken this is Scott and I. We were
Speaker 1: on an excursion and this is Norway in the background,
Speaker 1: and this is not filtered or anything like that. This
Speaker 1: is the actual like colors. It was unbelievable. And then
Speaker 1: here is a picture. This is a double decker waterfall
Speaker 1: in Iceland. And we were in Norway and Iceland and
Speaker 1: one of the things they were saying is this all
Speaker 1: this water is from one of the glaciers in Iceland.
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, Iceland only has one big glacier left, and
Speaker 1: they're saying because of the global warming that by twenty
Speaker 1: seventy it might not have any glaciers left, which would
Speaker 1: be sad because then all the waterfalls would go. And
Speaker 1: but yeah, so I figured I would just share those
Speaker 1: two photos with both you gentlemen tonight and the rest
Speaker 1: of the audience.
Speaker 2: I love them, Sorry, I loved them. They literally, like
Speaker 2: you said, they're not AI generated, but they certainly do
Speaker 2: look that way.
Speaker 1: I know, the colors.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that waterfall it looks like a ship literally
Speaker 2: got stuck there and was frozen over by ice before
Speaker 2: literally is how that that comes across to me? That picture?
Speaker 1: Well, and the one thing I will say is Scott
Speaker 1: and I did a bunch of small, well not always small.
Speaker 1: We did a bunch of videos that we will slowly
Speaker 1: be putting up on the YouTube channel. So everybody watch
Speaker 1: for those, turn on your notifications and so you can
Speaker 1: see some of them. He interviewed. He interviewed a couple
Speaker 1: of tour guides, one in Amsterdam, one or two, and
Speaker 1: a couple in Norway, a couple in Iceland. It's just
Speaker 1: really interesting and then for us to show you the sites,
Speaker 1: So watch for those notifications and those videos to go
Speaker 1: come up on the UH station. Okay, and then what's up, guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got a few people chopping it up over
Speaker 2: here in the chat.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we got a lot of people in chat.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, y'all, buckle up, get comfortable, because
Speaker 2: it's about time to get fried on fire up. We
Speaker 2: haven't even dove into the sports topics yet. My goodness,
Speaker 2: can you only imagine we were just getting started around here, folks,
Speaker 2: y'all tune in. Let's go some here. I know you ready,
Speaker 2: I'm ready.
Speaker 3: I'm always ready.
Speaker 1: Okay, So our first topic, I'm gonna it's gonna be
Speaker 1: leading off with what the title was. So I read
Speaker 1: an article that Dion Sanders now is coming out and
Speaker 1: saying he believes there should be a salary cap for
Speaker 1: the college football He says it creates an unfit advantage
Speaker 1: obviously if one team is paying, you know, their players
Speaker 1: x amount and another team can pay him x amount plus.
Speaker 1: So your thoughts, Samir, will start with you, your thoughts about
Speaker 1: should there be a salary cap in college football?
Speaker 3: I mean he's right, and yeah, he is Deon Sanders,
Speaker 3: and there's a big brand name that comes with that,
Speaker 3: So that alone is able to attract guys like a
Speaker 3: Travis Hunter or recently a Julian Lewis a five star
Speaker 3: quarterback recruit to a school, even in a place or
Speaker 3: school such as Colorado, who may not have the football
Speaker 3: what's the word, the correct word, may not have the
Speaker 3: football acumen that.
Speaker 2: That was the word I was about to say.
Speaker 3: But even with that, you still have an unfair advantage
Speaker 3: with the Georgia's, Alabama's, Ohio State and others being those
Speaker 3: who are the wealthiest schools being basically being able to
Speaker 3: buy whoever they want. It creates an unfair advantage in
Speaker 3: that compartment. And it's all and without it or a
Speaker 3: salary cap would also make a coach's job easier, because look,
Speaker 3: all these guys want to play, they all want to
Speaker 3: get paid, so when that opportunity arises. So let's say
Speaker 3: you are a four star defensive tackle at Georgia. Chances
Speaker 3: are if you're at Georgia, you're a good player, and
Speaker 3: you have a hard time making it up the depth chart,
Speaker 3: like you've got maybe two or three future NFL guys
Speaker 3: ahead of you, like you are going to either use
Speaker 3: the nil money as a tool for them to get
Speaker 3: you to stay, or you're going to transfer and try
Speaker 3: to get more playing time. And I think with the
Speaker 3: way it is set up. Now, I'm for an I L.
Speaker 3: I think it's I think it's I think we need
Speaker 3: to have ni l's to give the players a chance
Speaker 3: to get their fair share of money. But I think
Speaker 3: it needs to be regulated. There does need to be
Speaker 3: a salary cap. Not only that, but also I think
Speaker 3: if you get an NIL deal, you have to play
Speaker 3: at that school for two years. So yeah, the salary
Speaker 3: cap is a good idea. And then then I would
Speaker 3: add another bonus to it.
Speaker 1: Okay, good points, JD.
Speaker 2: Your thoughts, uh, Samir, Just to play right into what
Speaker 2: you were saying there, I completely agree. If a player
Speaker 2: goes to Furman University. Just for example, let's say I've
Speaker 2: got a player he went to Furman and he gets
Speaker 2: you know, looked at or recruited by a bigger school,
Speaker 2: but he's not really in the portal and they kind
Speaker 2: of entice him to hit the portal. And even if
Speaker 2: that weren't the case, even if they don't, you know,
Speaker 2: tamper to use that dirty word, tamper, Even if they
Speaker 2: don't tamper, shouldn't the school that gave him a scholarship
Speaker 2: and put food in his mouth and tried to coach
Speaker 2: him up, tried to give him a chance to play football.
Speaker 2: Shouldn't all those coaches and that school and everything be
Speaker 2: compensated for you taking a player away from them. It
Speaker 2: would be like, Okay, so I'm a guardian. I garden,
Speaker 2: got I got tomatoes, I got cucumbers, I got squashed.
Speaker 2: This in comparison, and I'll throw it back to you
Speaker 2: guys right after this. This in comparison, though, to me,
Speaker 2: would be like, Hey, that's a really nice tomato seed
Speaker 2: you planted there. I see that it's growing into a plant.
Speaker 2: So I think I want to take that plant. I
Speaker 2: want to buy that plant for me, and I'm gonna
Speaker 2: use it to my advantage. And I'm gonna be the
Speaker 2: one who gets the fruit from the trees of that vegetable,
Speaker 2: that fruit whatever, because that is what's happening now. There
Speaker 2: are what we call feeder schools, yeah, in college football,
Speaker 2: and it's because of NIL and the portal. And I'm
Speaker 2: all for players making money. You won't catch me making
Speaker 2: no flak about players make money. The NC DOUBLEA has
Speaker 2: benefited from them for way too long. And I told
Speaker 2: Candy earlier, I'll go ahead and say it right now.
Speaker 2: This whole raschual face on situation for my game Cocks
Speaker 2: is crazy. If if I'm gonna call out the NC
Speaker 2: double A, I'll go ahead and do it now. NC DOUBLEA,
Speaker 2: you can go ahead and get cooked real quick. But
Speaker 2: for you to leave this young man in limbo for
Speaker 2: six months, not knowing what he needs to do, not
Speaker 2: knowing if he's playing college football, not knowing if he
Speaker 2: has already passed the point to where he can get
Speaker 2: into the NFL. Like NC DOUBLEA, you at least owe
Speaker 2: this man an answer at this point, I don't care
Speaker 2: if it's yes or no. I don't I don't care.
Speaker 2: I want the guy to play yes because I'm a
Speaker 2: Gamecock fan. I think he's a great running back. But
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, it's about the end A.
Speaker 2: They need to answer to this way soon, and so yes,
Speaker 2: I'm all for players making money. I'm all for the portal,
Speaker 2: I'm all for all that good stuff. Great great response
Speaker 2: by Samir. I mean, sir, I don't know where else
Speaker 2: to go from there.
Speaker 1: I agree the one thing I agree that players should
Speaker 1: get compensated. My issue is is they're still in school
Speaker 1: and we forget about that, like they're supposed to be
Speaker 1: going to school for school, but they're not. Let's face it, there,
Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're in sports, they are taking classes.
Speaker 1: How serious they are and stuff like that, it remains
Speaker 1: to be seen. Some of them do finally graduate, some
Speaker 1: of them don't. Some of them go back after the fact,
Speaker 1: but they're not professionals yet. They're actually in school, and
Speaker 1: I think that we we kind of lose sight of that.
Speaker 1: So but I definitely agree there should be a salary cap,
Speaker 1: because yes, it is an unfair advantage. I mean, let's
Speaker 1: face it, you can have one confident or one con
Speaker 1: Let's just take one conference, and the conference that I'm
Speaker 1: most familiar with obviously would be the Big Ten. Look
Speaker 1: at you have the big schools like Ohio State and
Speaker 1: the Michigan's and then you have some of the smaller schools.
Speaker 1: You know, Wisconsin is not the elite the Ohio State,
Speaker 1: you know, and it's going to have a different So
Speaker 1: would they have unfair advantages? Not only do they have
Speaker 1: an unfair advantage because they might have a long, longer program,
Speaker 1: longer storied program, more championships underneath their belt, but now
Speaker 1: they also might have more nil money to dish out,
Speaker 1: So not only are they you know, and how competitive
Speaker 1: then is that conference going to be? And how is
Speaker 1: that going to change the conference and the competitiveness in it?
Speaker 1: And yes, I agree that there has to be some
Speaker 1: kind of regulations. I think then is flying by the
Speaker 1: seat of their pants like a like a lot of
Speaker 1: different companies all of a sudden, you know, now there's AI.
Speaker 1: So now companies are trying to refocus, and Okay, how
Speaker 1: is that going to adjust us? How is that going
Speaker 1: to affect us? And as we're going where you're coming
Speaker 1: up with new regulations and new you know, laws or whatever.
Speaker 1: But definitely has to be some kind of uh yeah.
Speaker 3: And I feel like this is all new to everyone,
Speaker 3: including the NCAA. So this you know, three or four
Speaker 3: year period of NIL has kind of been the trial run.
Speaker 3: And I think sooner or later they're going to make
Speaker 3: adjustments because there had because I mean, the original extreme
Speaker 3: of everyone benefits except the players was wrong. But I
Speaker 3: feel like this is close to maybe another extreme where
Speaker 3: the players are almost milking the system basically, like where
Speaker 3: does it stop? Like eventually, I mean, eventually we're gonna
Speaker 3: have high schoolers getting NIL deals, Like where does it
Speaker 3: in states like Georgia, Texas, Florida count Where does it stop?
Speaker 3: There a boundary.
Speaker 2: There was high school players already getting an IL deals
Speaker 2: though to samirity exactly what you're saying. Sorry to interrupt you,
Speaker 2: but yeah, I can't continue, Samir, but yeah, there's already
Speaker 2: scholars getting NIL deals. Let's trickle down.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Do you think less of these players M A L
Speaker 1: players will graduate? Do you think graduation rates will go
Speaker 1: down because they're starting to earn money and now they're like, ooh,
Speaker 1: I like this the money in my hand. Let's try
Speaker 1: and declar. There's no way to.
Speaker 3: Look at it, but I think I think there's a
Speaker 3: chance it goes up. Graduation rates go up because now
Speaker 3: players who are good enough to go to the NFL
Speaker 3: will not be so hard pressed to declare for the
Speaker 3: draft after they red shirt and then play two years.
Speaker 3: I mean, who knows. Ay, maybe if I play well enough,
Speaker 3: I can get a newer and a bigger NIL deal
Speaker 3: from either my current school or from a different school.
Speaker 3: After that two year deal I suggested earlier, and I
Speaker 3: can get more money. I can finish school and get
Speaker 3: a degree, and I can potentially increase my draft stock
Speaker 3: from where it may have been a year or two ago.
Speaker 2: So that's one way we'll get with, Yeah, Samir and
Speaker 2: p digits over here dropping wisdom on everybody.
Speaker 3: We pens there.
Speaker 1: I love.
Speaker 3: Of There is a possibility that you hear rumors about it,
Speaker 3: mainly throughout the NFL and the NBA, where you have
Speaker 3: these players parents and or agents or both talking about
Speaker 3: if a certain team has a reputation for being a
Speaker 3: dysfunctional franchise and they have the number one pick, like
Speaker 3: you could have a scenario with the nil and that
Speaker 3: could be the downside of what I'm talking about, that
Speaker 3: that player or their agent or parent could say, Hey,
Speaker 3: you know, I'm not playing for that team. We're gonna
Speaker 3: stay another year, which in a way would take away
Speaker 3: the competitive purpose or the parody of a league like
Speaker 3: the NFL. Like there was a rumor that came out
Speaker 3: not too long ago that Can Williams dad didn't want
Speaker 3: him playing for the Bears. Like like like, let's say hypothetically,
Speaker 3: and I don't think this will happen, but hypothetically, the
Speaker 3: New York Jets end up with the number one pick,
Speaker 3: and I think they're gonna be a lot better than
Speaker 3: getting in one pick actually, but it's just a hypothetical
Speaker 3: because the New York Jets for a while have had
Speaker 3: a reputation for being dysfunctional. Woody Johnson has a bad
Speaker 3: reputation around the NFL in regards to what he's done
Speaker 3: as an owner. So what if Arch Manning pulls a
Speaker 3: knee line says, I don't want to play for the Jets,
Speaker 3: I'm staying another year at Texas because that organization is dysfunctional.
Speaker 3: I'm not declaring you know that that could be a scenario.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely, I completely agree. It certainly could. And
Speaker 2: I didn't even get to the Deon Sanders part. Yeah,
Speaker 2: kudos to him for mentioning the NIO and the transport
Speaker 2: portal stuff the way he did, because he's not singing
Speaker 2: the same tune that he was a while ago when
Speaker 2: he was talking about how he's bringing his Louis Vaton
Speaker 2: luggage and like everything's gonna be well and good in Colorado.
Speaker 2: He he understands now he's got to build this thing
Speaker 2: brick by brick by the dirty sea words chemistry, culture, commitment, camaraderie, competition, courtesy, complacency.
Speaker 2: Bro I got them all all the sea words. I'll
Speaker 2: knock them sun guns out the part that is what
Speaker 2: college football is about. That's what it's always supposed to
Speaker 2: be about, and it's changing, and it'll lose fans because
Speaker 2: of it. I don't know where they're gonna go. Maybe
Speaker 2: they'll start watching soccer. I don't know where they're gonna go,
Speaker 2: because if they're a die hard college football fan that
Speaker 2: gets turned off by this, that means they're already over
Speaker 2: the NFL and they watch college football because they don't
Speaker 2: like the whole thought of all the millions of dollars
Speaker 2: they make for doing this. And then if they quit
Speaker 2: watching it from there, like where do you go? You
Speaker 2: go back to baseball? Where are you going in that situation?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Mm hm m hm. Okay, Southern j D. I know
Speaker 1: you have a topic. You wanna shut it up?
Speaker 2: I would love to. As a matter of fact. All right,
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, First of all, make sure you hit like, follow, share, subscribe.
Speaker 2: We're gonna get candy. Not don't show it just yet.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Well we'll get it to you, Tom. I'm gonna paint
Speaker 2: this story here, okay, and then we'll dial it up
Speaker 2: and we'll see what kind of reaction we get from it.
Speaker 2: So NASCAR has a huge inconsistency versus consistency problem. Every
Speaker 2: once in a while they want to tell you that
Speaker 2: this is the rule, and then every once in a
Speaker 2: while they want to tell you this is not the rule. Well,
Speaker 2: the rule is always driver safety. Until this past weekend
Speaker 2: at Chicago, where they raced on a short track, Cody
Speaker 2: where hit into a tire barrier going almost one hundred
Speaker 2: miles per hour. He even said I need help the
Speaker 2: moment he crashed and was trapped. Yet NASCAR waited thirty
Speaker 2: five seconds for the leader to take the white flag
Speaker 2: and them to ultimately call the caution. Was this staged?
Speaker 2: Is the NASCAR becoming wrestling or is it just a
Speaker 2: consistency problem? Guys? If you're trapped under that car, in
Speaker 2: that under that tire barrier, if you're Cody Ware, do
Speaker 2: you want NASCAR to call that caution? Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely. It's not only consistency problems, as you mentioned,
Speaker 3: it's also I think a safety problem, a big safety problem,
Speaker 3: especially when you're.
Speaker 2: Dealing with He says he can push back, I bring it.
Speaker 3: I mean my thing is, especially when you're dealing with
Speaker 3: cars that move at a very high speed and very
Speaker 3: close to one. I mean, I don't know really anything
Speaker 3: about NASCAR like that, to be honest, but I know
Speaker 3: that you know.
Speaker 1: You want me to put this video up now, Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's put it up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go into it. Yep, all those other cars
Speaker 2: are in control, and then I don't know how well
Speaker 2: people can see it from my screen, but there's just
Speaker 2: like this little blur. It zips across the screen. You
Speaker 2: can see all the other cars, but you can barely
Speaker 2: see Cody where crashing into that. How was that not
Speaker 2: a caution? Can you?
Speaker 3: Can you see it? For some reason?
Speaker 1: You see it gonna take us off and make it
Speaker 1: a little bit bigger.
Speaker 2: Hey, let me see it. I can actually, I can
Speaker 2: go back to the page. Let's see, and I will
Speaker 2: bring it up full blown.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, Yeah, it's not only consistency issue, more important
Speaker 3: the issue if you are in that post.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, did we get the full video across there? Sorry?
Speaker 1: I don't know that full video.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was about say, I got it frozen on
Speaker 2: my screen right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's frozen on the screen right now. I'm here too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, yeah, that's fine, that's yeah, because I paused
Speaker 2: it coming back, So I think, candy, Yeah, we can
Speaker 2: remove that from Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh now I gotta put us all back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there we go, there we go. Hey, we did
Speaker 2: it and we figured it out. H As soon as
Speaker 2: NASCAR can't drive an instant caution a few hours ago,
Speaker 2: now not anymore, that is really hard.
Speaker 3: To eat.
Speaker 2: Maccraft exactly. He said he needed help the moment he crashed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, yeah, like that's ah, that's a bad management
Speaker 3: from NASCAR. So because I mean the.
Speaker 1: Minute of the driver says I need help.
Speaker 3: You got to get him help.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I agree.
Speaker 2: They they even have him trained. They got to drop
Speaker 2: their window net. But yes, Maccraft, I don't know if
Speaker 2: you've missed that altogether, but Cody Ware literally said need help.
Speaker 2: There's a whole video he literally he said, need help.
Speaker 2: If that's not like need help, like if that's not
Speaker 2: a driver speaking on comms blah blah blah blah whatever else,
Speaker 2: the drivers are in constant radio communication. Yes, exactly, he
Speaker 2: said he needed help. Like you're trying to argue my point,
Speaker 2: but you're proving my point. There is video of him
Speaker 2: saying need help. NASCAR said they waited to see if
Speaker 2: he was gonna call it or be able to back
Speaker 2: up and continue what happened.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's something you don't want to mess with. I mean,
Speaker 1: if if a driver says they need help, you never
Speaker 1: know that if they could be injured themselves and they
Speaker 1: you know, they don't know it better. So but yeah,
Speaker 1: NASCAR is not one of one of the sports I
Speaker 1: watched too frequently.
Speaker 2: But yeah, but we can all relate you being consistent
Speaker 2: for umpires and referees and yeah, like Nascar and safety. Hey,
Speaker 2: if you don't call it a certain way, I'm good
Speaker 2: with it. Call it a certain way, but don't tell
Speaker 2: me it's drivers safety. One week and you throw a
Speaker 2: caution really fast and then in this particular case, you
Speaker 2: wait thirty five seconds. That is not calling it caution
Speaker 2: really fast.
Speaker 1: That is not speaking of consistency. Did you guys hear
Speaker 1: that they're gonna use some robots in the All Star Game?
Speaker 2: We did?
Speaker 1: I did, so, Samir, let's talk. Let's talk All Star games.
Speaker 1: Since I know it's in your backyard, it's.
Speaker 3: Right in our backyard.
Speaker 2: Literally, he listen. He's a Braves guy and he knows Braves. Literally,
Speaker 2: the All Star Game is in Sameir's backyard.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, yeah, So, I think the fact that they
Speaker 3: are using the robot umpires for the All Star Game
Speaker 3: shows that, I mean, the league definitely is thinking about
Speaker 3: using or implementing robot umpires on the regular basis in
Speaker 3: the future. It may not be a matter of if,
Speaker 3: but possibly more a matter of when. So and I
Speaker 3: think what better experiment for the league than to do
Speaker 3: it at the All Star Game at a national scale.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's first All Star Game in Atlanta in
Speaker 3: twenty five years. Even with how pitiful the Braves have
Speaker 3: been this year, we do have three All Stars. Chris
Speaker 3: Sale is unfortunately injured for action rib as we all know,
Speaker 3: Ronald Cunya Junior. I think the fact that he's in
Speaker 3: it is definitely one of the lone bright spots of
Speaker 3: this season, him being able to come back from his
Speaker 3: ACL injury, hitting over three thirty so far, already eleven
Speaker 3: home runs, and he's starting in his home stadium. Matt
Speaker 3: Olson is someone I've been hard on the last four years,
Speaker 3: someone who has regardless of how you may feel about him,
Speaker 3: I know he's a polarizing figure in the Braves fan base.
Speaker 3: He is in it as well, not a starter, but
Speaker 3: he is in it as well, not only in his
Speaker 3: own stadium, but also as someone who grew up in
Speaker 3: the Atlanta area, so yeah, he's in it as well.
Speaker 3: So those are really two on bright spots. Ronald is
Speaker 3: also in the Home Run Derby. This will be his
Speaker 3: third time doing it. He was in it in twenty
Speaker 3: nineteen twenty twenty two. Both times he ended up losing
Speaker 3: the Pete Alonzo who is not in it this year?
Speaker 3: Quite frankly, it's somebody who I wish was in it.
Speaker 3: He's been in it virtually every year has been in
Speaker 3: the league, and that would have been fun to see
Speaker 3: another Alonzo Acuna matchup, potentially in the home Run Derby,
Speaker 3: but unfortunately we're going to miss out on that. And also,
Speaker 3: notably the manager, Brian Snicker, there have been some rumors
Speaker 3: about this potentially being his last season as manager, as
Speaker 3: his contract is ending in He's been the organization for
Speaker 3: forty nine years, so there is a lot of rumors
Speaker 3: and he's made some hints that he may retire at
Speaker 3: the end of the season, so some are seeing as
Speaker 3: possibly as like a gesture or a send off, along
Speaker 3: with the fact that it is in his team's own ballpark,
Speaker 3: so another notable headline. The current Braves first baseman Mattilson
Speaker 3: is in it. The former Braves first baseman, Freddie Freeman
Speaker 3: will be in it in his old ballpark and he
Speaker 3: will be the starting first baseman. So some notable headlines there.
Speaker 2: I will say this right under your point what you
Speaker 2: were just talking about. Atlanta Braves Twitter has been lit
Speaker 2: up the last few days with Freddie Freeman being outside
Speaker 2: of Truest Park there at the Battery, him being pictured
Speaker 2: in an LA uniform coming and starting first base in
Speaker 2: Atlanta Braves Stadium again. It's clear that Braves fans we
Speaker 2: all still love the guy. So they're all gonna get
Speaker 2: their chance to go see him again, and albeit in
Speaker 2: a meaningless All Star game, but they're gonna they're gonna
Speaker 2: see him play again and a lot of people will
Speaker 2: be really excited about it.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, And it's it's kind of
Speaker 3: a polarizing topic on Braves Twitter, if you know what
Speaker 3: I mean, if you've seen it, it is still a
Speaker 3: polarizing topic. And I mean, it's not all Mattison's folk,
Speaker 3: but that's kind of what happens when the other guy
Speaker 3: was here for twelve years when's an MVP multiple All
Speaker 3: Stars wins the world series kind of grows up in
Speaker 3: our organization while his replacement comes here and he hasn't
Speaker 3: won a playoff series.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm sorry. I'm over here going back and
Speaker 2: forth with Matt Crab, mattra listen, bro, you know, listen,
Speaker 2: I will gladly give your chance to debate this one
Speaker 2: of these day. But you're not winning this one. Okay,
Speaker 2: anything you say I have debunked. Okay, clearly he didn't
Speaker 2: need medical help. Blah blah blah blah blah. I said, yeah,
Speaker 2: but my point again. NASCAR said they were waiting to
Speaker 2: see if he could get the car going. He told
Speaker 2: them he couldn't get the car going, So like, I've
Speaker 2: debunked at all. And then he says, oh, was the
Speaker 2: car going to be a hazard? Yes, that's caution. Flag
Speaker 2: was waived after they took the white flag. They couldn't
Speaker 2: continue to let them race around the course. Matt Crown,
Speaker 2: So yes, the car clearly deserved a caution because they
Speaker 2: called it thirty five seconds too late. That's the point. Yeah, y'all,
Speaker 2: don't listen.
Speaker 1: Man, back to the All Star game.
Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, I am again not happy about it being
Speaker 2: in Atlanta. It should have been there years ago. They
Speaker 2: shouldn't have to come back here now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's also kind of unfortunate that of all years,
Speaker 3: it's when we're having our worst season in eight years,
Speaker 3: when well, the year we were gonna have it before
Speaker 3: originally was the year we won the World Series. But
Speaker 3: even then we were under five hundred at that All
Speaker 3: Star break. So this point, it is what it is.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna roof for Ronald in the home run derby.
Speaker 2: And take well, I guess this is the point. Next
Speaker 2: time we need to cancel the All Star Game in
Speaker 2: Atlanta and we'll win a World Series.
Speaker 3: Well, it's gonna need a lot more than that.
Speaker 2: We should have known as soon as they didn't cancel
Speaker 2: it this year, though, we should have known we were toast.
Speaker 2: You can't listen. I'm a fan. I'm a pessimist fan.
Speaker 2: I can't get too many nice things. Okay, it's never
Speaker 2: all of my teams winning all at one time. It's
Speaker 2: either yeah, it's like two thirds half maybe if I'm lucky,
Speaker 2: but yeah, we can't be spoiled with our fandom. Candy.
Speaker 2: You might be blessed like that. You old Milwaukee girl.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, we've gone through some lean years.
Speaker 1: I would say, you know, yes, the Packers have won
Speaker 1: a couple of them, but the Brewers haven't. I mean,
Speaker 1: they made the World Series, but they lost us, you know,
Speaker 1: Saint Louis back in the day, back in the eighties,
Speaker 1: so they haven't. Uh, And yes, the Bucks have won
Speaker 1: two championships and won lately. I mean, I the one
Speaker 1: thing that I would say about the NBA, at least
Speaker 1: at this point, and normally I don't. I'm not a
Speaker 1: huge NBA person. I don't watch a lot of NBA
Speaker 1: because we always call it the National Drama League. But
Speaker 1: they have a new champions for every year for the
Speaker 1: last seven years, and you can't say that about a
Speaker 1: lot of the other sports. Sometimes you have these dynasties,
Speaker 1: you know, in football and stuff like that. But so
Speaker 1: that I think is interesting. But yeah, the eighty two
Speaker 1: Brewers got beat by the Cardinals. Yeah that was painful,
Speaker 1: but it took seven games, so at least, you know,
Speaker 1: but we're not. So it just depends on the sport.
Speaker 1: Like you know, like Detroit, the Lions haven't won it,
Speaker 1: but yet look at you know, the Pistons have they
Speaker 1: had such a good run, and the Tigers have. So
Speaker 1: it depends on your where you're from, what your team is, And.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I feel like with Atlanta, like the
Speaker 3: three main teams here have just been a microcosm of
Speaker 3: like a little bit of everything. Like you've had the Braves,
Speaker 3: who have been for the most part, very good since
Speaker 3: the nineties. They've won two championships and even then, with
Speaker 3: all the talent they've had come through the organization, you
Speaker 3: could argue that they could have that they should have
Speaker 3: maybe four, possibly five or six with how many opportunities
Speaker 3: they've blown, especially in October. Then you've got the Hawks.
Speaker 3: It feels like since they've gotten here in sixty eight,
Speaker 3: they've just haven't been great, haven't been horrible. They've always
Speaker 3: just been the middle of the road Frances except for
Speaker 3: maybe three or four seasons. And then you've got the
Speaker 3: bottom of the barrel, which are the Falcons. Sixty years,
Speaker 3: only fourteen playoff appearances, no Super Bowls, worst loss in
Speaker 3: sports history. They've had multiple opportunities to win one, they've
Speaker 3: blown it. But yeah, but I mean even with the
Speaker 3: Braves winning two championships and how great twenty twenty one was.
Speaker 3: I feel like if the Falcons were to get one,
Speaker 3: it would mean so much for the city and the
Speaker 3: overall sports landscape here, Like this city would go nuts
Speaker 3: if the Falcons got one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, y'all would probably be climbing up grease light poles
Speaker 2: and stuff like Philadelphia fans do. That's best guess of
Speaker 2: how that would go down. Somebody in Atlanta would do something.
Speaker 3: Raid would be absolutely insane if they give them.
Speaker 2: I completely agree Candy P Digits. He reminds you there
Speaker 2: that was the nineteen eighty two breve Or Brewers. They
Speaker 2: got beat by the Cardinals. He's a he's a Cardinals fan,
Speaker 2: by the way.
Speaker 1: Yeah I figured that when he came back and said,
Speaker 1: no one cares how many games it took.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, no, I love it. So we're
Speaker 2: all catching flak. I'm catching flak from Matt Craft, You're
Speaker 2: catching it from p Digits. We got some mirr. He's
Speaker 2: catching flak from all of us because, oh man, I
Speaker 2: wish I could believe in Atlanta's sports anymore.
Speaker 3: It's hard, man, It's hard. It is hard. It is hard.
Speaker 2: But then hey, I'm a Panthers fan. I mean, but
Speaker 2: I'm an Atlanta Braves fan, and people will say, well,
Speaker 2: how can you do that? Okay, arbiter of sports fandom.
Speaker 2: This is how it happens. You're a little kid from
Speaker 2: Lake Greenwood, you like baseball. The only thing that comes
Speaker 2: on is Atlanta Braves Baseball on TBS back when I
Speaker 2: was growing up, So you watch Braves baseball on TBS,
Speaker 2: you were a Braves fan. And then I only knew
Speaker 2: the Panthers. I mean I wasn't around for the Delle
Speaker 2: junior days when the Redskins were the only team shown
Speaker 2: here in the South. Nineteen ninety five, I think was
Speaker 2: the Panthers first season, maybe ninety six. And I remember
Speaker 2: my first ever bet, y'all. I was in the third grade.
Speaker 2: It was the Carolina Panthers bet. We bet Panthers versus
Speaker 2: Packers Packers. His team, Panthers, My team. I lost. The
Speaker 2: Packers beat us. But that was my first ever bet.
Speaker 3: True story, yeah, I mean mine was kind of I mean,
Speaker 3: my my thing was kind of different. Like it was like,
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously I'm from Atlanta, so it was like
Speaker 3: two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine. It was
Speaker 3: like the beginning of like the Matt Ryan era. And
Speaker 3: Mike Smith, Thomas de Mittroll, Roddy White and Michael Turner
Speaker 3: and all those guys, and it was like that was
Speaker 3: like the beginning of when we had five straight winning seasons,
Speaker 3: went to an NFC Championship in twenty twelve, the Georgia
Speaker 3: Dome would be rocking on Sundays like those are just
Speaker 3: some fun times, like and if we can get like
Speaker 3: and this is like obviously like that's been the home team,
Speaker 3: but it's really been those times where it's like like
Speaker 3: that was like eight nine ten year old me kind
Speaker 3: of made like it was like like those times made
Speaker 3: eight nineteen year old me along the fact that it
Speaker 3: was the home team here like choose that seam. And
Speaker 3: it was like like like, you know, we're having all
Speaker 3: these winning seasons, We're going to the playoffs, like like
Speaker 3: this is gonna be a thing every year.
Speaker 2: Well, don't work like that, right, No? Yeah, I think
Speaker 2: it was p digits over here. He said it perfectly.
Speaker 2: Let's see if I can find it again. Hum, what
Speaker 2: was it? Oh? Yeah, here you go, only two World
Speaker 2: Series and thirty five years. But he fails to mention
Speaker 2: the I don't know, thirty division titles that we won
Speaker 2: in those thirty five years.
Speaker 3: Like yeah, yeah, five first round exits exactly.
Speaker 2: Like, and people got mad at me before, Samir because
Speaker 2: I've said the Braves are the cowboys of the MLB.
Speaker 3: I would say either the cowboys. Another good comparison for
Speaker 3: them would be the Green Bay Packers. Like what I
Speaker 3: mean by that is they do, for the most part,
Speaker 3: a good job of developing their in house talent. And
Speaker 3: for all the talent that they've had, two championships is good,
Speaker 3: but they should have more.
Speaker 2: M H. That's whole that's my whole point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's like and then, and then I keep
Speaker 3: bringing up the first round exit argument on twitters, like, oh, well,
Speaker 3: the playoffs are are a crap shoot, It's just random. Like, No,
Speaker 3: a trend over twenty five thirty years is not random.
Speaker 3: Did you know that since two thousand the Braves have
Speaker 3: been to the playoffs in seventeen of those years, sixteen
Speaker 3: seventeen of those years, In all but two or three
Speaker 3: of those years they've gone one and done. That is
Speaker 3: not random. That is a trend. That is an organizational trend. H.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, No, it's not randomness. It's not a crap shoot.
Speaker 3: That is a trend right.
Speaker 2: Well, even there they went, you know, number one seed,
Speaker 2: and I don't think being the number one seed in
Speaker 2: the MLB playoffs is a good thing at all. Taking
Speaker 2: that bybe week, get out of rhythm. And then like
Speaker 2: literally it's always the wildcard team who's playing hot baseball.
Speaker 2: M h. It's always something like that, very rarely, unlike
Speaker 2: the Dodgers obviously last year, I mean the.
Speaker 3: Number one seed as well. And then the Astros the
Speaker 3: year they won it in twenty two, the first year
Speaker 3: of the expanded postseason, they won it. So that's always
Speaker 3: been my argument.
Speaker 2: And well, even think about though the Dodgers, they are
Speaker 2: on the on an equal run as the Braves as
Speaker 2: far as I'm concerned. They went a lot, a lot.
Speaker 3: Of opportunities before last year, I will say.
Speaker 2: That, yeah, and they just finally won one. Recently, we
Speaker 2: got Candy. We over Candy. Wake up.
Speaker 1: But here, I'm here, I'm here.
Speaker 2: You listen. I know you got a flight in the morning, y'all.
Speaker 1: I do, I do.
Speaker 2: Candy is going to a wedding. Oh wow, yeah, they've
Speaker 2: already been going. Let's see, what are they even talking?
Speaker 1: Six am plight crazy? But yeah, it's a it's a quick, quick,
Speaker 1: just weekend. U one of Scott's nephews is getting married,
Speaker 1: so where and we haven't been in Detroit for I
Speaker 1: think it's been year and a half, two years, so
Speaker 1: it's time to quick see some family. But it's a
Speaker 1: quick in and a quick out.
Speaker 2: Right. Well, that's exactly what we're doing on this show
Speaker 2: this evening, Candy. So I'll tell you what I am
Speaker 2: good to end. Well, let's do to yep, my toes whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we can wrap it up. I know you need to
Speaker 2: get dressed, yep, coming back vacation all that. So I
Speaker 2: always got to plan yourself one day from like, come
Speaker 2: back from vacation and give yourself a day Yeah some
Speaker 2: here that seems like smart advice, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1: Oh I have to remember that next time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I'll help you out.
Speaker 1: I got you my town. It's the segment that I started,
Speaker 1: and a lot of people are rolling with it because
Speaker 1: I've seen it even on differ broadcast. But Samir, obviously
Speaker 1: the All Star Game, but what else is happening in
Speaker 1: your town?
Speaker 3: So we've got the All Star Game. The Braves are
Speaker 3: still a joke, lost five or six, the truest part
Speaker 3: to the Angels and the Orioles, including getting shut out
Speaker 3: twice during that span nine to six, lost in extra
Speaker 3: innings to Baltimore game they probably should have won one
Speaker 3: where they left the had loaded bases with no outs,
Speaker 3: only got one run across and that was on a
Speaker 3: ground out by Jerkson Profar. Then the other night they lost,
Speaker 3: they got beat bad by the Athletics. It was I
Speaker 3: believe ten to one until home run by Jerkson Profar
Speaker 3: ultimately saved them from being shut out. Didyer Fuentes twenty
Speaker 3: year old picture was they called him up and probably
Speaker 3: did him a disservice by letting him stay up and
Speaker 3: pitch after his second start in New York his estimated
Speaker 3: time arrival was twenty twenty seven eight. They call him up,
Speaker 3: and after that second start they should have went and
Speaker 3: sent him back down to Gwinnette, and that could possibly
Speaker 3: hurt his development. I hope he doesn't. He's got the tangibles,
Speaker 3: he's got this stuff. He just needs more time to develop.
Speaker 3: But again that just shows just another like head scratching
Speaker 3: move by this front office, where that's just been the
Speaker 3: norm the past couple of years. It's a joke. Then
Speaker 3: the trade deadline's coming up, teams are inquiring about, mainly
Speaker 3: Sean Murphy and Marcello Zuna, who's gotten expiring contract. I
Speaker 3: know Double A said that, and the rumor is that
Speaker 3: they're not going to move anyone who has a contract
Speaker 3: past twenty five. So it seems like if they're gonna
Speaker 3: to move anyone, it'll be Ozuna or possibly right Sale Iglesias.
Speaker 3: But who knows. That could change given how the team plays.
Speaker 3: They still look horrible. The Hawks. I wasn't able to
Speaker 3: come on last week, but they had one of the
Speaker 3: better offseasons in the seasons in the NBA. They definitely
Speaker 3: got better. Nikaile Alexander Walker a guy who can come
Speaker 3: off the bench, can defend well. You look at the
Speaker 3: contending teams and while we do have a Dison Daniels,
Speaker 3: or had eight Dison Daniels, they've got multiple dices. In
Speaker 3: what I mean by that, I mean by guys who
Speaker 3: can play a role and play it really well, a
Speaker 3: lot of depth. Nikaile Alexander provides that Luke Canard forty
Speaker 3: three percent from downtown. I feel like you can come
Speaker 3: off the bench and shoot for us, and then Falcons
Speaker 3: on their side. It's been quiet. I know Kirk Cousins
Speaker 3: was recently in the second season of Quarterback and really
Speaker 3: we didn't learn anything new from the end of the season.
Speaker 3: So when it was revealed on his appearance during Good
Speaker 3: Morning Football that he was playing hurt to now and
Speaker 3: my stands hasn't changed on that. Yeah, he should have
Speaker 3: been more upfront about his injury, but the blame ultimately
Speaker 3: lies with Raheem Morris and the rest of the coaching
Speaker 3: staff for allowing him to not only not be upfront
Speaker 3: about his injury, but to leave him out there. He
Speaker 3: should have been pulled that halftime with the Chargers game.
Speaker 3: And that's it for my town.
Speaker 1: JD, what is happening in your town?
Speaker 2: Well, verst just quickly here, let me respond to yours,
Speaker 2: because yeah, the Kirk Cousin thing, that was one thing
Speaker 2: that we were going to bring up on the show.
Speaker 2: So we'll well, we'll put it in our back pocket.
Speaker 2: But what I was gonna quickly ask you though he
Speaker 2: came out and said he felt misled by the Falcons.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, and I tweeted this.
Speaker 2: And then he though turned around and misled the Falcons, right,
Speaker 2: So I mean to me that balance is out fifty.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, from a fan perspective, I felt misled watching
Speaker 3: you play like Desmond Ridder for an entire month while
Speaker 3: we're paying you one hundred million guaranteed.
Speaker 2: But on another out there, yeah, yeah, and he said
Speaker 2: he would even go. He said, if I would have
Speaker 2: known they were gonna draft Pennies, I would have just
Speaker 2: resigned with Minnesota.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll sit on a bench and count you're one
Speaker 3: hundred million, Kirk. But on the other hand, like you're
Speaker 3: doing just fine, dude. But on the other hand, I
Speaker 3: just feel like, look, they made a business decision. That's
Speaker 3: the way the NFL, and it seems like Kirk must
Speaker 3: have forgot how we got his job in Washington in
Speaker 3: the first place. They had spent a top pick on
Speaker 3: RG three, and then they turned around and drafted you
Speaker 3: in the fourth round. Then you ultimately ended up getting
Speaker 3: that starting job a couple of years down the road.
Speaker 3: So I guess it's a full circle moment, if you
Speaker 3: want to put it that way. But again, yeah, and
Speaker 3: this has kind of been a polarizing topic on Falcons
Speaker 3: social media outlets, more specifically Falcons Twitter. You've got some
Speaker 3: blaming Kirk, You've got some blaming the coaching staff. I
Speaker 3: think both are at fault. Like I mentioned earlier, Yeah,
Speaker 3: put that guy's agent in the Hall of Fame. Generational
Speaker 3: bag getter.
Speaker 2: There is no better job than being a backup quarterback
Speaker 2: in the NFL. Period, uh period, Uh, whatever it is.
Speaker 2: The millennials say, yeah, being a backup quarterback is a
Speaker 2: beautiful situation. Right, and Samir, you nailed it. Candy, you've
Speaker 2: nailed it. My town, So my town is not Sameir's town,
Speaker 2: not the Atlanta town. No, I'm gonna talk about the
Speaker 2: Carolina Panthers, and I don't think they can win the
Speaker 2: NFC South this year.
Speaker 3: I still think they're another year away. They've got the pieces,
Speaker 3: but I still think they're another year away.
Speaker 2: I honestly, based on the way Atlanta drafted and Tampa Bay,
Speaker 2: it'll be between y'all two. The Saints. No, they're talking
Speaker 2: about not starting Spencer Rattler, which would be the dumb
Speaker 2: decision ever. He already started games last year. Yeah, Tyler
Speaker 2: Shuck might be older, but he was playing in college.
Speaker 2: That's not the NFL. So Spencer Rattler should be the
Speaker 2: starter for the Saints, period, uh period.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, if a guy you drafted high in
Speaker 3: the second round this year. Can't beat twenty six year old,
Speaker 3: can't beat out Spencer Rattler, Then I think it says,
Speaker 3: and I think it makes that piclic a lot worse
Speaker 3: than it already does.
Speaker 2: Right, Spencer Ratler to me was a still in the
Speaker 2: fifth round. Yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: I was just never high on him.
Speaker 2: I watched him play every Saturday. You know that. I
Speaker 2: mean that I saw Throsy made it. If you put
Speaker 2: him with Patrick Mahomes's weapons, saying he could be Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2: I will never say that, but he could be a
Speaker 2: very above average quarterback in the NFL. He didn't have
Speaker 2: nobody to throw to last year when he played in
Speaker 2: New Orleans. He I mean, they were all injured.
Speaker 3: We'll see.
Speaker 2: Okay, So is that you done, Jeddy or yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: let's get out.
Speaker 1: We're so for my town. I'm gonna say kudos to
Speaker 1: my Milwaukee Brewers because they have a payroll of around
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand, hundred and two thousand and they just
Speaker 1: swept the LA Dodgers that have a payroll of over
Speaker 1: three hundred thousand, So kudos to them. Kudos to Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna pack his last name Mizerulowski. He's
Speaker 1: a rookie pitcher that is doing phenomenal right now. I mean,
Speaker 1: uh so, kudos to him. I hope he can up.
Speaker 1: And he's such got such a grounded personality too, from
Speaker 1: what I've read and seen. As far as the Milwaukee Bucks,
Speaker 1: they've made some questionable calls this off season, so we'll
Speaker 1: really see how that pays out. You know, letting eating
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard's con contract twenty two million dollars a year
Speaker 1: for the next couple of years is kind of a
Speaker 1: little bit risky, I think, but I also understand, like
Speaker 1: next week, they understand Giannis only has a window and
Speaker 1: it's a window of only how many years, So they're
Speaker 1: in a win now mode, so they they have to
Speaker 1: figure out how to win now, and since Damien's not
Speaker 1: going to be playing next year at all, they had
Speaker 1: to do something. So while there's a lot of fans
Speaker 1: out there that were upset that they let him go,
Speaker 1: they also need to plan right now and get what
Speaker 1: they can right now. So I kind of understand it,
Speaker 1: whether you like it or not. It also allows him
Speaker 1: to go rehab at home and be with his kids,
Speaker 1: and we know that he's a big family man. So
Speaker 1: and then as far as the Packers, well kudos. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say congratulations to Jordan Love because he actually got
Speaker 1: married this offseason, So congratulations and we wish you the
Speaker 1: best of luck in your marriage and of course on
Speaker 1: the field, on and off the field. But with that said,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do my normal plug for the South Florida Tribune.
