Speaker 7: I'm great? Thank you Candy, thanks for having me on.
Speaker 7: It's great to be here tonight.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: It's great to be on with you, gentlemen. Let's there's
Speaker 1: so much there's a whole slettid topics we could be
Speaker 1: talking about. Let's start with this. The season that just
Speaker 1: ended the NFL, So let's start. There's free agency, there's
Speaker 1: going to be a draft coming up. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: because there's been a lot of moves lately. There's been
Speaker 1: some big signings and then there's been some a lot
Speaker 1: of free agencies, a lot of people let go or
Speaker 1: not renewed or traded. Let's talk about some of those
Speaker 1: big moves. Pensman, tell me some of the big moves
Speaker 1: that you've noticed.
Speaker 3: Well, in case you guys haven't heard, Christian Kirk just
Speaker 3: sign with the Texans to Nate. I don't know what
Speaker 3: time exactly, but as up to Nate. Christian Kirk is
Speaker 3: headed to the Texans after a day of being unemployed.
Speaker 3: He is officially a Texan. And the Jaguars gave just
Speaker 3: released that the Pittsburgh Steelers just the one wide receiver.
Speaker 3: Can you please, art Rony give me one receiver? I
Speaker 3: know Nigie Harris is leaving. I know that, but just
Speaker 3: give me one wide receiver. I get the draft of
Speaker 3: running back. There's like I said the other day, there
Speaker 3: is tons of running backs in the draft. Just give
Speaker 3: me one big name free agency. That's all I ask for.
Speaker 1: Okay, George, any big note names that you've.
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, Adam Scheffler is reporting that the Seahawks receiver
Speaker 5: DK Metcalf has formally requested a trade. So Penson, I
Speaker 5: get your get your general manager to get on the
Speaker 5: phone and try to get your try to get Metcalf
Speaker 5: over there from from the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 2: He don't want to play there anymore.
Speaker 5: I love these guys that go out there, Candy and
Speaker 5: they just say, trade me, trade me, trade me all the.
Speaker 2: Money they're getting.
Speaker 5: They're never ever happy, and and I think that that
Speaker 5: I understand sometimes the coach and the riff between the
Speaker 5: coach and the player.
Speaker 2: Okay, I get all.
Speaker 5: That, but come on, you guys, if you know some
Speaker 5: of you're getting all this big salary money and some
Speaker 5: of them just don't know why to They just want
Speaker 5: to move to the next city. It reminds me of
Speaker 5: oh yeah, something called the portal in the NCAA football
Speaker 5: the portal.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, But anyways, to answer your question, I think that
Speaker 5: the Lions are still gonna be active. I mean not
Speaker 5: as much as they used to be, obviously, because their
Speaker 5: roster is pretty solid. But they can't start the season
Speaker 5: again with a lousy backup quarterback to golf. These quarterbacks,
Speaker 5: they've been lucky that he's not been hurt the last
Speaker 5: couple few years they've had him, but they got to
Speaker 5: keep an eye on that, and they've got to do
Speaker 5: something because Hooker.
Speaker 2: They have no confidence in Hooker.
Speaker 5: You know, he's on the roster, but he's he hasn't
Speaker 5: played hardly at all. And last year they had to
Speaker 5: call what's the guy he's coaching high school football down
Speaker 5: in Florida Bridgewater. Yeah, you see how that ended up? Yeah, Teddy, Teddy, Yeah,
Speaker 5: you can't do that. They can't live with a with
Speaker 5: an unknown as the as the backup quarterback. That to
Speaker 5: me is what the Detroit Lions need to get settled
Speaker 5: and settled fast.
Speaker 7: Well, well, I agree with Pensman in one perspective. Steelers
Speaker 7: gonna start thinking outside the box here. And you know something, George,
Speaker 7: I want to bring something to you. You know, you'll
Speaker 7: talk about free agents. All these free agents out here
Speaker 7: that say they want to play for Mike Tomlin, but
Speaker 7: I don't see them on the Steelers.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 7: That that to me bothers me a little bit when
Speaker 7: they keep saying, oh, I want to play for Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 2: He's a great coach.
Speaker 7: But you want to play for Mike Tomlin because Mike
Speaker 7: Tomlin lets you do whatever you want. Okay, that's why
Speaker 7: you want to play for Mike Tomlin. That's number one.
Speaker 7: Number two. I don't want to hear it anymore. If
Speaker 7: you want to play for Mike Tomlin so bad, then
Speaker 7: why don't it Why aren't you burning up the phone
Speaker 7: over at the Steeler office?
Speaker 2: Isn't coming here? Okay?
Speaker 7: That's I have an issue with that. Yeah, to see
Speaker 7: where Joey Bosa is going to go? Yeah, by La Chargers.
Speaker 7: Steelers could use them. I mean, I know they have
Speaker 7: DJ Watt and overpaid Alex high Smith and a few
Speaker 7: other people, but you know.
Speaker 2: It never hurts to have more edge rushers and talent.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 7: And we need a lot of defensive tackle help, and
Speaker 7: you know, more than just and wide receiver running back
Speaker 7: perhaps and uh, you know, my my thing is George
Speaker 7: Aaron Glenn. I'm interested to see what he's going to
Speaker 7: do up in New York. Yeah, Rogers Walk and uh,
Speaker 7: you know, so we're going to see what what he
Speaker 7: does up there, so you know.
Speaker 2: But uh, that's that's what I have to say about that.
Speaker 3: Can I ask one question DK, DK Metcalf and I
Speaker 3: don't care who answers this, but we're all we're all
Speaker 3: fans besides me and Ralph, we're on the same page.
Speaker 3: But would you guys actually take DK for a first
Speaker 3: and third round pick? Come on, that's a lot.
Speaker 6: That's just like if you're selling a house, though, I mean,
Speaker 6: you you want to put it a little higher and
Speaker 6: then well maybe a second.
Speaker 7: You know, they gave a first round pick to Miami
Speaker 7: for Minka Fitzpatrick and what's Minca done in the last
Speaker 7: couple of years. Nothing, so you know, and then we
Speaker 7: ended up with that bum Chase Claypool in the second round.
Speaker 7: So you know, I don't think the Steelers will ever
Speaker 7: do that again. I'm sorry to interrupt JD JD Right, No.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, no, you're fine, but yeah, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 6: you're not giving up a Perston at third though. Then,
Speaker 6: But that's what I'm saying I think they're starting high,
Speaker 6: you know, try to get the bidding high and then
Speaker 6: maybe you'll.
Speaker 8: Settle for something a little less.
Speaker 6: I mean, you got Miles Garrett and that whole debacle
Speaker 6: with Cleveland and everything as well.
Speaker 8: So yeah, I'll let you guys get back to it.
Speaker 6: Though, if anybody else had anything to say before the
Speaker 6: NFL free agency stuff ended up.
Speaker 3: I think Joey's going to join his brother in San Francisco.
Speaker 3: That's my That's where I'm thinking, Yeah, that could happen, right.
Speaker 8: Well, that was the one thing too. I was gonna mention, well,
Speaker 8: why didn't you speak?
Speaker 6: I was going to, but I interjected into somebody else.
Speaker 6: I meanechnically the Florida. Yeah, Candy hadn't technically got to
Speaker 6: my turn yet. I don't want to overstep, you know
Speaker 6: what I mean, But yeah, if it's my turn, Candy.
Speaker 6: So yeah, that's the one thing I was gonna mention.
Speaker 6: Did anybody have the Chargers releasing Bosa on their bingo card?
Speaker 3: I would never, no way.
Speaker 6: And see, that's the one question that I wanted to
Speaker 6: ask Pensman and all of this or anybody else as
Speaker 6: a Steelers fan.
Speaker 2: T J.
Speaker 6: Watt he was not very productive there down in the stretch.
Speaker 6: He certainly didn't do his part on the defensive side
Speaker 6: of the ball, wrecking the game. And so to me,
Speaker 6: because right, well pen'sman though if okay, but if the Chargers.
Speaker 7: He only had one man on him and he them
Speaker 7: one game, he had a rookie, he had a rookie
Speaker 7: offensive lineman that took.
Speaker 3: That's right, Ralph, That's right.
Speaker 8: Well, that's what I'm saying. That's what I wanted to
Speaker 8: spark up.
Speaker 6: Is it time maybe for the Steelers to look past
Speaker 6: what if the Chargers did it with Bosa?
Speaker 8: And that's what's wild.
Speaker 6: I mean, this all goes back to the wide receivers.
Speaker 6: That's another question for you guys, George, anybody else chime
Speaker 6: in on this one. Did the wide receiver position this
Speaker 6: year become the running back position of last year? Where
Speaker 6: you've got all of these guys getting traded. You got
Speaker 6: several free agents and nobody really seems to be interested
Speaker 6: in some of them. I mean Davante Adams. To me,
Speaker 6: I'm not signing the guy. I don't think Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 6: next year will be playing. To be honest with you,
Speaker 6: I really don't he wants he'll obviously want to contend.
Speaker 6: So where is he gonna good.
Speaker 7: Somebody that could test with for a core or back,
Speaker 7: somebody that's looking for leadership. Well, I know, we know
Speaker 7: Aaron Rodgers can can't have leadership at times as much
Speaker 7: of a big baby as he is. But anyhow, uh,
Speaker 7: you know that's that's looking for somebody like that. My
Speaker 7: advice to one of these new coaches is to get him,
Speaker 7: because one of these new coaches, you're gonna need somebody.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 3: You want you want Aaron Rodgers to go to Saint
Speaker 3: Look to New Orleans Saints to play for Kellen Moore?
Speaker 3: Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 2: Hey, why not?
Speaker 7: I mean, you know you're a new coach in this
Speaker 7: league and you're a rookie coach at that. You know
Speaker 7: what I'm saying, you need you need an experienced quarterback.
Speaker 7: I had this discussion with a couple of people on
Speaker 7: my Sports Corner radio show. You know that, you know
Speaker 7: they think that smoking Jim Fraser is wrong when he
Speaker 7: says that the.
Speaker 2: Jets should have kept Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 7: So Aaron Glenn would have at least a decent starting
Speaker 7: quarterback to get him off the you know, to get
Speaker 7: to get the team moving a little bit instead off.
Speaker 3: If he goes to kill it, Moore might be fired.
Speaker 3: Look what he did, Robert Saplin in week five. Oh
Speaker 3: you know, that's not the way you should do it.
Speaker 3: He's out the door.
Speaker 1: So you guys, none of you mentioned how Deshaun Watson
Speaker 1: actually restructured his contract to take to create thirty five
Speaker 1: point eight million dollars in cap space for the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 7: I'm surprised he did that, and I'm surprised the Browns
Speaker 7: did it. I thought he'd be long gone, but that's fine.
Speaker 6: I'm surprised they gave him two hundred and thirty five
Speaker 6: million dollars guaranteed up front. Yeah yeah, oh my good
Speaker 6: with with everything that was going on with him at
Speaker 6: that time.
Speaker 8: I mean, I know.
Speaker 3: They paid him because of the Houston Texts and the
Speaker 3: player that he was. They thought that they were going
Speaker 3: to get the Houston textan player and to take the
Speaker 3: Cleveland brown franchise to that. That's who That's why the
Speaker 3: Cleveland Browns paid him that because of what he did
Speaker 3: in Houston. When he went to Cleveland, he had he
Speaker 3: had a three sixty and we saw what he did
Speaker 3: in Cleveland, which I'm thankful for.
Speaker 7: Yes, we're always thankful in Pittsburgh. When Cleveland screws up,
Speaker 7: and they screw.
Speaker 2: Up a lot, they do screw up a lot. You
Speaker 2: got that right through. But the last time they want anything,
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, I can't even remember. That's how bad
Speaker 2: it is. But you know what, they're building a dome
Speaker 2: stadium there, so you know a new Oh yeah.
Speaker 7: I had Lou Marconi on he covers the on my show,
Speaker 7: he covers the Cleveland Browns, and he told me that
Speaker 7: they're they're looking for financing to get a dome stadium.
Speaker 3: And I heard Phil heard Philadelphia might be doing the
Speaker 3: same thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the link.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and the Steelers will keep that relic atri Sure Stadium.
Speaker 3: Okay, So and Candy, we didn't talk about Dek Prescott.
Speaker 3: Dek Prescott restruct restructure his deal and they saved about
Speaker 3: twenty seven million dollars too. So Cowboys fans, you can go. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we've got Dak Prescott who won two playoff games, congratulations,
Speaker 3: And they.
Speaker 2: Got Trey Lance. They're still there too, I believe, so.
Speaker 8: Penzman, not to correct you, but I'm pretty sure Dak's
Speaker 8: only one one. I think.
Speaker 7: Oh, quarterbacks in this league, Oh my gosh, that are bumps.
Speaker 7: Daniel Jones, Gino Smith. I can they I can average quarterbacks.
Speaker 7: Kirk Cousins. Georgie knows a lot about Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if if it is one or two, it's still bad.
Speaker 3: It's not like Patrick Mahomes, it's not like Marino, it's
Speaker 3: not like any of these big names. Where but Dallas
Speaker 3: loves Dak. But they have Dak. I don't.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's just too many unknowns, and even the battery quarterbacks.
Speaker 5: It's so it's all risky. Now, Now what's Minnesota gonna do?
Speaker 5: Now they're gonna go with Donald again? And now I
Speaker 5: heard JJ McCartney's he's mad as hell. He's gonna want
Speaker 5: to demand a trade. And of course he hasn't taken
Speaker 5: it down yet after the last seeds of victory. I
Speaker 5: don't know what Minnesota's thinking. But darnld. I mean, you know,
Speaker 5: he showed what he's worth in the playoffs. I'm sorry,
Speaker 5: he just yeah, he was terrible.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's when you win the big game, George, that's
Speaker 7: when he counts. Yeah, okay, I don't care how many,
Speaker 7: how many regular season games you won. If you don't
Speaker 7: win the playoffs, go to Super Bowl forget it.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, And the Lions learned that the hard way
Speaker 5: this year, didn't they?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I don't you know what. That was
Speaker 2: such a disappointment.
Speaker 7: And you know something I've been told, the Bobby Lane
Speaker 7: curse is still there.
Speaker 2: Oh boy? Right?
Speaker 6: Well, hey, and Kandy, if I made too, I want
Speaker 6: one more questions and shaller kind of on this topic
Speaker 6: and stuff already about all these players. The one I
Speaker 6: did mention was has the wide receiver become the new
Speaker 6: running back of this year?
Speaker 8: Undervalue?
Speaker 6: You see a ton of them requesting trades, Yes, they
Speaker 6: want to go to other teams and all that stuff,
Speaker 6: Like do teams now just feel like they can just
Speaker 6: go draft a few rookie wide receivers and make sure
Speaker 6: Elik neighbors. We're seeing what Jamar Chase and Justin Jefferson
Speaker 6: and Jordan Madison, I mean, Cede Lamb, They've all performed
Speaker 6: well as rookies, and so I think the older one
Speaker 6: is starting to become that new running back position.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah. And Malfard Jr.
Speaker 5: As you know, was a running back and he's mentioned
Speaker 5: that several times on Inside the Pigskin. He's so disappointed
Speaker 5: with the lack of value for the running back position.
Speaker 5: As we all know, it has dropped considerably. So that's
Speaker 5: a good observation.
Speaker 2: Jad. Talking about the receivers, you know, you're always.
Speaker 5: Going to have that elite group, we know that, but
Speaker 5: then you've got that mid range, and then a lot
Speaker 5: of the mid range guys want to move around, they
Speaker 5: want to go the winner. You can't all do it.
Speaker 5: Not everybody wins. Like you said, Ralph, I mean, you know,
Speaker 5: super Bowl win is hard to get.
Speaker 2: It is, it is hard to get.
Speaker 7: But you know what, it's what you do in the
Speaker 7: playoffs in the super Bowl, it makes your legacy.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's that's you know what I meansolutely, you know.
Speaker 2: And one other thing I want to add here real quick.
Speaker 7: Every year in the draft, and I think a lot
Speaker 7: of you agree with me on this, there's always a
Speaker 7: lot of wide receivers. If you pick up the draft
Speaker 7: block draft publications, there's at least everybody they have a
Speaker 7: top twenty five for every position wide receiver they have
Speaker 7: a top forty or top fifty, So that means there's
Speaker 7: plenty of wide receivers to go around that you can
Speaker 7: draft two or three of them in your draft.
Speaker 2: And still and for what you need if you need
Speaker 2: that many.
Speaker 3: Hmm, good part. I think I did a video the
Speaker 3: other night where I said the same Sada, thank you,
Speaker 3: thank you, Ralph.
Speaker 2: I was going to say that anyway.
Speaker 3: I mean, I appreciate your comment on that. That was awesome.
Speaker 1: Let's let's face it. As as the football field is, however,
Speaker 1: wide wide receivers are way on the end. A running
Speaker 1: back is in the play more often, whether you're gonna
Speaker 1: pass to them, whether they're gonna you're gonna hand the
Speaker 1: ball off to them, where they're gonna pass block, possibly
Speaker 1: you know, picking up somebody that's gonna try and sack
Speaker 1: the quarterback. So the running back is in on more
Speaker 1: plays or have has more of how should I say it,
Speaker 1: more of an effect on the play than maybe a
Speaker 1: wide receiver does.
Speaker 5: Playbook is right, observation. They're candy. You're absolutely right. It's
Speaker 5: a tough position. It's a tough one and that's why
Speaker 5: their their length of service is so short, because yeah,
Speaker 5: but getting beat up back there, Yeah, there's still valuable,
Speaker 5: there's still v Look at what I'm not trying to
Speaker 5: just brag about Detroit, but you gotta admit, guys, when
Speaker 5: they got that that steel Montgomery from the Bears and
Speaker 5: then they draft, you know, it just was a smooth
Speaker 5: transition from a team that didn't have no running game
Speaker 5: at all, the Lions, to now one of the best
Speaker 5: in the league. But you're right, Candy, they get beat up,
Speaker 5: they got a block, they gotta do screen passes, they
Speaker 5: gotta protect the quarterback, like.
Speaker 2: You said, I mean anything. I mean, it's a.
Speaker 5: It is not an easy job. And the wide receivers
Speaker 5: what you guys are saying there a diamond dozen. You
Speaker 5: just gotta be smart and picked the word the right
Speaker 5: ones that are gonna be in the NFL for a
Speaker 5: log time.
Speaker 7: Yes, them, a lot of them got the attitude problems.
Speaker 7: George Prima Donna's look at George Pickens here, we're having
Speaker 7: issues with him.
Speaker 2: I mean you look at this Jamison Williams with the Lions. Yeah,
Speaker 2: pain in the butt, but he can.
Speaker 3: Speaking of running back Philadelphi Eagles, Howie Roseman, I don't
Speaker 3: think you got this freak. You got rid of Darius
Speaker 3: Slave James Bradley, but you signed Barkley for a huge
Speaker 3: deal for forty one dollars and I'm an average fan.
Speaker 3: I'm a fan of the Steelers, but I don't know, Beth.
Speaker 3: But have you guys paid attention to whoever gets big
Speaker 3: contracts out by hamstring out you get hurt? Good job, Howie.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that's a really good question though for another day,
Speaker 6: and I'm sorry to interrupt there, but yeah, what what
Speaker 6: are the odds that Sakwan repeats the year he has
Speaker 6: this year? Granted I don't think he'll rush for two
Speaker 6: thousand again, but I don't think he'll fall on much
Speaker 6: next year. I don't see it.
Speaker 2: Ye.
Speaker 8: On the offensive line.
Speaker 7: They have to change your offensive scheme again because Colin
Speaker 7: Moore went to the Saints and we're going to find
Speaker 7: out where they go.
Speaker 6: So the only reason that Eagles will be bad next
Speaker 6: year is if Sakwan bought them too much Budweiser. When
Speaker 6: he bought them all a load of Budweiser, and they're
Speaker 6: all too hungover to play.
Speaker 3: Going, James Bradley's going, Josh, what's going? All these people
Speaker 3: are leaving so well, that's why.
Speaker 7: That's why Howie Roseen say our genius because he knows
Speaker 7: how to how to do things. Unfortunately that we have
Speaker 7: Andy Whitell who's supposed to be a genius too and
Speaker 7: put that team together. But why I haven't seen any
Speaker 7: results in the last couple of years.
Speaker 2: So we'll say nope.
Speaker 1: I do want to address something in the chat room.
Speaker 1: It's not that it's not that we're ignoring the chat room,
Speaker 1: is that the chatroom is not really commenting on the
Speaker 1: topic that we were talking about. They're trying to get
Speaker 1: us to talk about hockey, and I get that, but
Speaker 1: that was the last show we're talking right now NFL,
Speaker 1: so I do not I just want to let you
Speaker 1: guys know we're not ignoring you guys. We are trying
Speaker 1: to talk about the topic that we have in hand,
Speaker 1: and if you want to come in on that topic
Speaker 1: by all means like this. I think Aaron Rodgers should
Speaker 1: go to the Dolphins and then retire. I do not
Speaker 1: see him coming down, especially with Tua here. Just don't
Speaker 1: see it.
Speaker 3: But where do you think Aaron Rodgers is going to
Speaker 3: go after he leased the dark Room?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I I know where he might go. Pensman, you might
Speaker 2: go home.
Speaker 3: Michael home.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've said it a hundred times. That's exactly where.
Speaker 6: I think he'll be.
Speaker 8: Either there, either there or in Egypt.
Speaker 3: Well there was there was reports that he might go
Speaker 3: to Las Vegas with Pete Carroll and try to start
Speaker 3: jump Well there's no award yet. He's talking about jump
Speaker 3: starting that franchise back up.
Speaker 5: Well, you know his age. Come on, let's be honest.
Speaker 5: It's gonna be very hard to go to a losing team.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't do it. I mean unless the money New Orleans, Vegas.
Speaker 5: We're talking losing teams, Giants, Jets, Patriots. You really think
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers wants to go to a team that's so.
Speaker 3: Said five hundred Hell no, Giants are talking.
Speaker 2: But what else is there for him?
Speaker 5: Because the good teams have a decent quarterback already? Right, Well,
Speaker 5: the Giants is gonna go either, Candy, do you have
Speaker 5: any There's no way that they'll bring him. I don't
Speaker 5: think back to our division, the NFC North, any of
Speaker 5: those teams will do that.
Speaker 2: I doubt that. Oh I just got word, George, he's
Speaker 2: gonna be the backup in Detroit. Now, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1: Now, if anything, he'd be going to Minnesota. Come on,
Speaker 1: let's face it, he's gonna if he's gonna follow Brett
Speaker 1: Farre's footsteps, And to be honest with you, they're the
Speaker 1: only ones that you know, I don't see it. The
Speaker 1: one thing is is that Aaron Rodgers he doesn't have
Speaker 1: the legs that he used to have, not that he
Speaker 1: has ever had a real legs, but so he needs
Speaker 1: a really good offensive line in front of him. And
Speaker 1: if he doesn't, if he doesn't, if he goes to
Speaker 1: a team that doesn't have that, he's not gonna last.
Speaker 8: He's just not.
Speaker 1: So I don't know where he'll go. I really don't.
Speaker 7: But what happened to Roethlisberger Candy? I mean, you know,
Speaker 7: he didn't have a good offensive line or you know, yeah,
Speaker 7: his mobility just didn't last like three years of his career.
Speaker 2: His mobility got bad.
Speaker 3: You know, he played, he played for Pittsburgh all eighteen years.
Speaker 3: He didn't move around, but he could. He could have bounced,
Speaker 3: but he he was loyal and want to stay until
Speaker 3: the end. Eric Rodgers is like, I'll move here, I'll
Speaker 3: go here, let me go to dark Croub. I decided
Speaker 3: to go here.
Speaker 2: And in April, in April, I have to see Kenny Pickett.
Speaker 2: That's right, because he's.
Speaker 7: Coaching one of the pit teams for the spring game. Wonderful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, JD. You wanted to talk about the Titans.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I could talk about and really just that's
Speaker 6: just my question and I'll let all of you guys
Speaker 6: answer it and I'll get my initial thought on it.
Speaker 8: If I'm the Titans, though I am not.
Speaker 6: Sold on cam Wred or shad Or Sanders coming in
Speaker 6: and being a savior for my franchise. I'm also not
Speaker 6: sure I'm taking Abdul Carter and with the Titans and
Speaker 6: all of their needs. Given what people get for first
Speaker 6: over number one overall picks in the NFL these days,
Speaker 6: I'm not picking. If I'm the Titans, I'm trading back,
Speaker 6: not very far, maybe like three or four. Let the
Speaker 6: clients like the Browns, let any one of those guys
Speaker 6: who want to come up and get a quarterback, let
Speaker 6: them come up to want to let them figure out
Speaker 6: who goes first between cam Ward and Shador Sanders. But
Speaker 6: if I'm the Tennessee Titans, I want nothing to do
Speaker 6: with either one of them. So what do you guys
Speaker 6: think the Titans should do with their number one overall pick?
Speaker 2: If I had to pick between the two. J D.
Speaker 7: I would take kim Ward because of his body at
Speaker 7: work at in Miami and before that he was at
Speaker 7: what was it Washington State or something like that. They
Speaker 7: are Utah or something like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, right church.
Speaker 7: Right church, wrong Pew, So you know, but anyway, uh,
Speaker 7: you know, I would take kim Ward in that perspective
Speaker 7: because Shader Sanders, you draft him, you're gonna have to
Speaker 7: put up with his dad and I don't know if
Speaker 7: you want to do that.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, off your Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7: You don't want to put up with his father And
Speaker 7: I don't think I want to deal with that either.
Speaker 6: So you know, well, and to that point too, Dion's
Speaker 6: already said there's some teams he's not gonna let him
Speaker 6: be drafted to, So I mean, what exactly does that mean?
Speaker 6: That's or no, the one so the one that always
Speaker 6: pops in my mind is Eli Manning and Philip Rivers.
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah that was another one too. Yeah, I forgot
Speaker 7: about that one.
Speaker 6: Yeah, where, But so do we really think the do
Speaker 6: we really think Dion has as much pool as the
Speaker 6: Manning though? Like to me though, I'm not I don't know,
Speaker 6: I'm just not sold on either one of those guys. Really,
Speaker 6: I just feel like I would let I would get
Speaker 6: more draft capital.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the defensive.
Speaker 8: Lineman, offensive lineman.
Speaker 7: Yes, the Titans are a wreck, JD. They really are,
Speaker 7: and they need to you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: There to answer your question, the New York Giants are
Speaker 3: interested in trading up for the first round pick to
Speaker 3: get that. That's why. So I think that I think
Speaker 3: if the Giants do that, I think that they're gonna
Speaker 3: get cam Ward and camp Ward's gonna try to save
Speaker 3: that franchise. I try.
Speaker 7: I got a better chance to getting struck by lightning
Speaker 7: than the Giants getting saved.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, well, well step outside and see what happens.
Speaker 1: So I can. I can tell you that the Giants
Speaker 1: went down to the Pop Tarts Bowl to see cam
Speaker 1: Ward play. Cam Ward played the first half to play
Speaker 1: for those scouts from the Giants, and then he that's
Speaker 1: why he sat at halftime. He didn't want to keep playing,
Speaker 1: you don't want to get injured. But he played because
Speaker 1: the Giants sent scouts to that game to see him playing.
Speaker 3: Plus he already broke the record, so that's why he
Speaker 3: said at halftime too.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, So.
Speaker 5: I know we know there's not gonna be I mean,
Speaker 5: you know that that draft in Detroit with all those
Speaker 5: quarterbacks and Candy, you and I and Scott covered that draft.
Speaker 5: You're not going to see a repeat of that because
Speaker 5: there are not enough good quarterbacks coming out this year
Speaker 5: as we had last spring. To answer your question, you know,
Speaker 5: they're going to have to really be careful with that
Speaker 5: pick Tennessee or like you know, maybe they will listen
Speaker 5: for some offers they can pick up more draft capital
Speaker 5: by trading that number one pick. I mean, heck that
Speaker 5: that deserves a lot of consideration. If I'm the Titan Titans,
Speaker 5: you know, like you said, Ralph, they have so many problems.
Speaker 2: They have so many.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so you know when you're in a situation like
Speaker 5: that and you're not sure if cam Woard is going
Speaker 5: to be the best guy or Sanders, I mean nothing,
Speaker 5: nothing is written in stone that you got to take
Speaker 5: that quarterback with that number one pick. That's where you
Speaker 5: got to really be smooth.
Speaker 2: Though.
Speaker 5: If you want to try to build a build a
Speaker 5: franchise back up, you got to have draft capital, yeah
Speaker 5: you do.
Speaker 7: You have to go young, and you gotta have a
Speaker 7: lot of draft capital. Get some young offensive Linemen exactly.
Speaker 7: You know, Yeah, that's where you need to go. Okaybody,
Speaker 7: you don't have if you don't have good lines of scrimmage,
Speaker 7: forget it, it's over, it's done.
Speaker 2: You might as well hang it up.
Speaker 3: If Camboard does go to the Giants, would you watch
Speaker 3: the Giants? Candy, just just a question, because you you
Speaker 3: watched them in college.
Speaker 7: I would, for suspicions, I would for curiosity, just to
Speaker 7: see what cam Wood would do.
Speaker 1: I still think, and I understand with the first pick
Speaker 1: in the draft, that you feel that you've got to
Speaker 1: play them. You've got to put them in because let's
Speaker 1: face it, but I still say there's some and to
Speaker 1: be said about sitting, especially a quarterback that first year
Speaker 1: so they can watch the defensive schemes. They can learn
Speaker 1: from all right, veteran quarterback, whether he's really good or
Speaker 1: not so good. But there's something to be said about developing.
Speaker 1: And let's face it that even though they're playing the
Speaker 1: same game, a college game is different than an NFL game,
Speaker 1: and it's played at a different speed, it's played at
Speaker 1: a different level. I honestly think developing, but I understand
Speaker 1: that first round, if you're the number one pick, you're
Speaker 1: not sitting them. They're not doing that anymore, and it's
Speaker 1: it's it's a win now league. But my question is
Speaker 1: is how many number one picks made it and how
Speaker 1: many number one picks fizzled?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, the odds are not very good in
Speaker 6: their face.
Speaker 2: That didn't make it. That were quarterbacks, they didn't make it.
Speaker 3: In right.
Speaker 8: And Candy to your point too.
Speaker 6: What I was gonna say is a lot of people
Speaker 6: forget Patrick Mahomes had the chance to sit for a
Speaker 6: year behind Alex Smith for the two.
Speaker 8: A lot of people completely forget that. You also have.
Speaker 7: To until Tommy Maddox and Charlie Batch got hurt.
Speaker 6: And then you've got Jordan Love who sat behind Aaron
Speaker 6: Riverers there for a while. And then I think the
Speaker 6: best thing that could have happened to JJ McCarthy this
Speaker 6: year was getting hurt because he was slated, so he
Speaker 6: was forced to sit and learn. And so yeah, it's
Speaker 6: absolutely Tom Brady said it. If Tom Brady said it,
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, it's.
Speaker 3: Gotta be right.
Speaker 6: He's even too, Yeah, these guys gotta sit if he
Speaker 6: if he said it, I trust him.
Speaker 8: I believe it.
Speaker 3: Yep, because Tom did it, and he understood until he
Speaker 3: was forced to.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would like to see cam Ward possibly, like
Speaker 7: Candy said, or Shader Sanders, go to a team where
Speaker 7: they where they can get a veteran quarterback, even though
Speaker 7: if that quarterback can manage the game, and he could
Speaker 7: sit and watch for a little bit and then hope
Speaker 7: that that quarterback stays in there and doesn't get hurt,
Speaker 7: because if he does, then and he's the second string quarterback,
Speaker 7: which in this day and age sometimes that's the case.
Speaker 7: But I do agree with Candy on the fact that
Speaker 7: you have to develop these quarterbacks.
Speaker 2: Look at Khale Williams.
Speaker 7: He was thrown into the fire this year, and you know,
Speaker 7: there was a few other ones that have been over
Speaker 7: the years thrown into the fire, you know, and when
Speaker 7: you're thrown into the fire, you always get burned.
Speaker 2: So you know.
Speaker 5: So there we are, and listen to this last you
Speaker 5: talk about draft point the number one picks.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 5: You go back to the twenty and fifteen Winston Yes,
Speaker 5: Aric Goff in sixteen, Miles here at defensive end in seventeen,
Speaker 5: Baker Mayfield in eighteen, Kyler Murray in nineteen, Joe Burrow twenty,
Speaker 5: Trevor Lawrence twenty one. Then you had Trayvon Walker sneaking
Speaker 5: in there at defensive end in twenty two, and they
Speaker 5: had Bryce Young and Caleb Williams.
Speaker 2: I mean, they always want.
Speaker 5: To go for a quarterback number one, it seems like
Speaker 5: in the last decade or more.
Speaker 2: Yes, but that doesn't like you guys.
Speaker 4: Say, even if they're not that good, George, it's the
Speaker 4: concept that they're coming out of college and they're young,
Speaker 4: and they got this big rating, and everybody on the
Speaker 4: NFL network says, oh, this is a great quarterback.
Speaker 2: Oh, this guy did good at the Combine.
Speaker 3: Oh this kind of look at the highlights. That's why. Yes,
Speaker 3: you see the highlights and that's it.
Speaker 7: Yes, Okay, Malik Willis, he did a good job at
Speaker 7: the Senior Bowl, did a great job. But Liberty stunk
Speaker 7: when he when when he went to Tennessee, and JD can.
Speaker 2: Account for that. You know.
Speaker 7: Now he's with Green Bay because he sat out for
Speaker 7: a few years here and there or whatever and learned
Speaker 7: and now he's with Green Bay and he's done a
Speaker 7: pretty decent job of managing the game at Green Bay.
Speaker 3: I'm going to add on to what you just said Ralph.
Speaker 3: Liberty is a very small conference, so he's gonna he's
Speaker 3: gonna dominate that. You take Milik Billis. I know it's
Speaker 3: times up with him, but but I understand. But you
Speaker 3: take Milik Willis, take him to back big ten sec.
Speaker 3: He's gonna get destroyed. He plays faces Clemson, he's gonna
Speaker 3: easily get four interceptions. You play Ohio State, Michigan, he's
Speaker 3: gonna get four or five interceptions plus sacked five times.
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, You are correct.
Speaker 3: At the small conference. Liberty is a small conference.
Speaker 7: And now with the transfer portal, and I don't mean
Speaker 7: to get off topic here, now with the transfer portal
Speaker 7: in college, you can move from that small college to
Speaker 7: a big call. You think you can play, yep.
Speaker 1: I think. I think it's more not if you can play,
Speaker 1: but if a coaching system recognizes your play and has
Speaker 1: seen your play and tries to bring you in. Because
Speaker 1: it's it's a lot about the coaches and bringing in
Speaker 1: the players as opposed to and I get it. It's
Speaker 1: the players that want to say they want to move
Speaker 1: or they want to look for other avenues or money sources.
Speaker 1: Let's put it. I mean, if you prove yourself at
Speaker 1: a smaller school. The image of the one and done's
Speaker 1: is almost the same because in college basketball, one and
Speaker 1: done you'd move to the NBA. Well, in college football,
Speaker 1: it's more like one and done at the smaller schools
Speaker 1: to precipitate you to a better school or a high
Speaker 1: high caliber school.
Speaker 6: Right if I could, you, guys, I got two things
Speaker 6: on the NFL draft stuff. Just since we mentioned all
Speaker 6: that transfer portal and everything else, go ahead. So, first
Speaker 6: of all, the game Cocks have done a fantastic job
Speaker 6: with some of their guys that have come in for
Speaker 6: one year. Kyle Canard, Demetrius Knight, Nicki min Warri though
Speaker 6: he went there the whole four years or three years actually,
Speaker 6: But these dudes, they all performed well at the combine.
Speaker 6: They're gonna be freaks in the NFL. If there's a
Speaker 6: Gamecock player available to your team at any point in
Speaker 6: the draft this year, second to fifth round, I highly
Speaker 6: suggest you take them, whether it be Tanka Hemingway, nick
Speaker 6: Emon Worri, Boogie Huntley, Kyle Canard.
Speaker 8: Anyone, any one of those dudes.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but oh yeah, Boogie Alex Huntley, he's a local, homegrown.
Speaker 6: He was actually a will must champ recruit, okay, and
Speaker 6: they they're just they put up ridiculous numbers though at
Speaker 6: the combine. So my advice to any one of you
Speaker 6: NFL fans, if the best available is a game Cock
Speaker 6: where you're picking, pray for your team to draft a
Speaker 6: game Cock. And then the second thing I was gonna
Speaker 6: mention was Christopher's comment about Travis Hunter. We didn't even
Speaker 6: mention him about the draft stuff. He's a sneaky outlier
Speaker 6: in this defensive back and a wide receiver all in
Speaker 6: one go. So he I don't know if he will
Speaker 6: end up one. I don't know, oh man, I'm just
Speaker 6: he because we've talked about abdull Garter cam Wards to
Speaker 6: do her. So I mean, where does Travis Hunter land.
Speaker 8: In all of this? It's really gonna be as I.
Speaker 2: Even forgot about him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you forgot one detail, bro, one detail. When he
Speaker 3: went to the combine, he went as a defensive back
Speaker 3: or cornerback. He played, he played quarterback and wide receiver.
Speaker 3: So if what, so what you're gonna where you're gonna
Speaker 3: place him if he goes to the NFL, what position
Speaker 3: he's already combined?
Speaker 6: Yeah, But he answered that question. He said he wants
Speaker 6: to play all of the steps. He wants to play both.
Speaker 6: I don't know how much. I don't know how much
Speaker 6: they'll let him.
Speaker 3: He's gonna get fatigued, He's gonna.
Speaker 6: Get I say the same thing. I was worried about
Speaker 6: that with him in college. I think he's already already.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we have Cordell Stewart here through that. Jordan Whitehead
Speaker 7: was a two to two star or two different position
Speaker 7: player here.
Speaker 3: And you see how.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So, I mean Travis could probably do it, but he
Speaker 7: needs to get his personal life straight and that first,
Speaker 7: and his drama before he even thinks about playing any
Speaker 7: kind of football in the NFL, because it's not gonna jive.
Speaker 2: Various two to observation.
Speaker 3: Make the chat. I'm gonna make the chat really happy.
Speaker 3: In about two seconds, I was these guys want to
Speaker 3: talk about hockey. I'm gonna mention one thing about hockey
Speaker 3: and that's it. Last show, what was on we talked
Speaker 3: about hockey and we talked about Spencer Night. He just
Speaker 3: got drafted by the Blackhawks. It's the same exact thing
Speaker 3: in the NFL. If have you have a senior goalie
Speaker 3: and you have to just learn from them, you have
Speaker 3: a senior quarterback learn from the senior quarterback. It's the
Speaker 3: same situation in hockey and football. You learn from the
Speaker 3: experienced position player. That's all I'm gonna say about hockey.
Speaker 3: What your hockey? There is your hockey chat?
Speaker 2: Okay, I got about hockey. So well, we'll talk about
Speaker 2: that later. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So someone wanted to talk about NASCAR, and.
Speaker 8: Who was that? I hate anybody, anybody at.
Speaker 2: All, Now, it wasn't me. I don't follow nascart, George.
Speaker 8: You follow any NASCAR.
Speaker 2: Not not real close.
Speaker 5: I mean I'll tune in to the race usually, uh,
Speaker 5: but I don't watch it from start to finish or
Speaker 5: anything like that. What are your thoughts, JD? What what
Speaker 5: would you want to bring up?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Well, so, yeah, I got something for you, and I'll
Speaker 6: see if I can relate it to another sport per se.
Speaker 6: So we just saw the race at Circuit of the
Speaker 6: America this past Sunday and there was an incident in
Speaker 6: the race where Austin Cindric did what they call right rear.
Speaker 8: Hook someone into the fence.
Speaker 6: And in the past we've seen drivers like Chase Elliott,
Speaker 6: NASCAR's most popular driver, be suspended for doing that.
Speaker 8: When he did it to Denny Hamlin.
Speaker 6: Carson Hosovar has been suspended for it, and then Ross
Speaker 6: Chastain has also been suspended for doing the exact thing
Speaker 6: that Austin Sindric did. And it just proves once again
Speaker 6: that NASCAR cannot be consistent with their rules. We just
Speaker 6: saw all the caution lap cautions at the end of
Speaker 6: the race mayhem the previous few weeks. Now we've got
Speaker 6: them saying that Austin Sindric they weren't going fast enough
Speaker 6: for it to cause any real damage.
Speaker 8: Is it about safety driver safety or is it not?
Speaker 6: Because just a few weeks ago it was about drivers safety,
Speaker 6: but this week it's not about driver safety. And so
Speaker 6: they're just very inconsistent with the rules, maybe much like
Speaker 6: the NFL has been. So how would you feel if
Speaker 6: there was a sport you were interested in though, where
Speaker 6: you the sanctioning body don't know the rules, so your
Speaker 6: fans don't know the rules. At some point, you've got
Speaker 6: to draw a line somewhere, correct.
Speaker 5: You, you know, and you gotta be consistent too.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, go ahead, Ralph, No, you have to crack
Speaker 2: the whip.
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, there's too much of that going
Speaker 7: on the rules for certain people, you know, and if
Speaker 7: you're going to have rules, you got to crack the
Speaker 7: whip and do it. I mean, you know, you can't
Speaker 7: just have them for certain things and certain people.
Speaker 2: It doesn't work that way, you know.
Speaker 5: No, it has to be consistent and it must be consistent,
Speaker 5: especially when we talk about safety.
Speaker 2: You're talking about that.
Speaker 5: Rear hook, I mean, you know, and those you know,
Speaker 5: invariably there's accidents on that final laugh if it comes
Speaker 5: down to one lap, oh my god, we'll see what happens.
Speaker 5: And pretty much every race nowadays, there's all kinds of
Speaker 5: craziness going on. They're trying to finish that race. It's
Speaker 5: just bind by. But to get back to your point, JD, Yeah,
Speaker 5: I would say they have to be consistent and if
Speaker 5: centric deserves a fine punishment or both, he deserves it,
Speaker 5: then if it's proven.
Speaker 6: Right, well he did so he did end up getting
Speaker 6: docked fifty points, which yeah, is like a don't have
Speaker 6: but you just can't. And I think NASCAR hamstrung themselves
Speaker 6: here too. So they just made this new NASCAR playoff
Speaker 6: waiver rule where basically the driver can't miss a race
Speaker 6: or you're ineligible for the playoffs or lose all of
Speaker 6: your playoff points. So they didn't want to suspend the
Speaker 6: guy because they just created.
Speaker 8: This new rule.
Speaker 6: And so just get like, you can't have rules contradicting
Speaker 6: one another, and you got to be consistent. Just get
Speaker 6: it right is my biggest thing with Sports NFL. Spot
Speaker 6: in the ball penalties whatever, Like, I don't care if
Speaker 6: you got to review it, ball strikes, the automated ball
Speaker 6: system that we've seen or whatever.
Speaker 8: Yeah, just get it right. I don't care what you
Speaker 8: gotta do. Just get it right.
Speaker 6: And Pensman, I wanted to hear your NASCAR takes about
Speaker 6: Cedric as well.
Speaker 3: If Daleen Hurt Senior was alive, I would guarantee you
Speaker 3: and JD you're laughing because you know where I'm going
Speaker 3: because you're a senior fan too. But if Senior was
Speaker 3: alive and he saw how much flip flop is going on,
Speaker 3: he knows that he's gonna go and he's gonna wring
Speaker 3: somebody's neck because of all the inconsistency. He's gonna make sure.
Speaker 3: If he was alive, he would go up to the
Speaker 3: studio and make sure that somebody is going to get
Speaker 3: their point cross and make sure that it's gonna be
Speaker 3: If one NASCAR drivers suspend it, they all should be
Speaker 3: suspended if they do the same thing. The punishment should
Speaker 3: be right down the middle. You do something wrong, you're suspended.
Speaker 3: Denny Hamlin, you're suspended. Austin Cindric, You're suspended because you
Speaker 3: did what Danny Hamler did a couple of weeks ago
Speaker 3: last year, whatever it was. That's my teak on that.
Speaker 3: That's what Am I wrong?
Speaker 2: Am I?
Speaker 3: Am I right? And my wrong?
Speaker 6: G Yeah, And when George was even mentioning the mayhem
Speaker 6: and everything, Yeah, the mayhem literally started lap one, turn
Speaker 6: one for Chase Elliott this past weekend. Yeah, he got
Speaker 6: he got wrecked by Ross Chastanin dive bombing him on
Speaker 6: the first lap and then I don't.
Speaker 3: Know, that was a five car pile up and turn one.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it was I mean it was Chastain just
Speaker 6: being over aggressive wreck Chase.
Speaker 8: But I don't know if you saw it.
Speaker 6: Later in the race, Chase Elliott was coming up to
Speaker 6: pass Ross Chastain. Ross Chastanin knew what was coming. Man,
Speaker 6: he does so far out the way he literally he
Speaker 6: just let Chase go on by didn't bother him one bit.
Speaker 8: He knew he was wrong, but yeah, the mayhem literally
Speaker 8: started lap one. That's I love NASCAR. You never know
Speaker 8: when you're gonna see mayhem.
Speaker 6: It could be lap one, lap thirty, lap seventy two,
Speaker 6: You just don't know.
Speaker 2: Well, see George would remember this.
Speaker 7: Okay, back in the day, we had a commercial called
Speaker 7: when he f Hunt and talks people listen, Okay, when
Speaker 7: if if Senior was still alive. I think that that
Speaker 7: that the race, the racing community would listen, and like
Speaker 7: Pensman said, and the rules would would be where they are.
Speaker 6: And well, I can follow up and ask a question
Speaker 6: to that to you guys about that, and Candy time
Speaker 6: in too if you want. But I honestly think NASCAR,
Speaker 6: if del Earnhardt walked into their hall or for a
Speaker 6: meeting or whatever the case may be, I feel like
Speaker 6: NASCAR listened to del Earnhardt more than he listened to NASCAR.
Speaker 6: So therefore, though, is there now that deal Earnhardt Junior
Speaker 6: is not there? Gordon Jimmy Johnson.
Speaker 2: Somebody got to pick up the slack JD.
Speaker 6: I'm saying, but who, There's nobody out there that NASCAR
Speaker 6: respects that much.
Speaker 2: No, no, not at all. No, Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, guys, Brad Keaslowski, but his star is so
Speaker 5: diminished now.
Speaker 2: Brad's not the man.
Speaker 3: I might step on, might step on JD's toes, but
Speaker 3: would lost to dellan fill those shoes that NASCAR would
Speaker 3: start to respect. He's got the three car.
Speaker 6: Nobody's respected since they came back. Answered to that question,
Speaker 6: not a chance, Not a chance.
Speaker 1: Guys, Let me do a quick station break. I haven't
Speaker 1: done one yet. South Florida Tribute Publishing Company published a book,
Speaker 1: Lessons from the Microphone, Tuning into the Enduring Wisdom of
Speaker 1: Visionary Leaders. It is written by Scott Morgan and the

Speaker 1: gmail dot com. Okay, guys, I am going to swing
Speaker 1: it over to baseball now. Barry Bonds came out and
Speaker 1: he says he appreciates the greatness of show Heyo Tani,
Speaker 1: but believes the Los Angeles Dodgers superstar benefits from a
Speaker 1: softer game. There's no about the type of player Otani
Speaker 1: is and what he's accomplished in his career, but the
Speaker 1: game has changed, Bond said in an interview. Bonds continued,
Speaker 1: Otani is not going to hit two home runs without
Speaker 1: seeing one go right at his head. In my generation,
Speaker 1: I don't care what he does. He's not going to
Speaker 1: steal two bases without somebody decapitating his kneecap to slow
Speaker 1: him down. Because it was a different game back then.
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about what Barry Bond said about Otani?
Speaker 1: And I'm going to start with you.
Speaker 9: George, Barry Bonds, you know, I don't know. I mean
Speaker 9: it's always hard to determine. I mean, baseball has had
Speaker 9: different eras I mean, so as far as soft goes,
Speaker 9: softness goes, I mean, is the pitching as good as
Speaker 9: it used to be?
Speaker 5: Probably not. I mean that when you My feeling is
Speaker 5: that with expansion, all of baseball has been diluted over
Speaker 5: the years. We know that adding more teams you got
Speaker 5: less quality roster spots, less quality players. Unfortunately, they all
Speaker 5: can't be superstars. So I would guess that Bonds might
Speaker 5: have a little bit of a correct reflection on that,
Speaker 5: but I wouldn't take it that far. I mean, Otani
Speaker 5: has shown that he is a megastar. He can hit fastballs,
Speaker 5: he can hit sliders, he can pitch really well as
Speaker 5: we know before he got hurt, especially, so I wouldn't
Speaker 5: totally disagree with what Bonds is saying, but I don't
Speaker 5: think it deserves to be mentioned as far as you know,
Speaker 5: putt putting an asterisk on the player's career or anything
Speaker 5: like that.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 5: Maybe I'm misreading them the wrong way, but yeah, the
Speaker 5: soft factor versus every era is going to be different.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say Ralph your comments, I.
Speaker 7: Think, uh, I think Barry Bonds hit it on the
Speaker 7: head in some perspective, but I do agree with George
Speaker 7: in another perspective here, it's a whole different ballgame now
Speaker 7: compared to when he played, and and and you know,
Speaker 7: he's allowed to make his comments. That's like when Terry
Speaker 7: Bradshaw makes his comments about about you know, you know
Speaker 7: how weak the Steelers are these days, you know what
Speaker 7: I mean, compared to what it was when he was.
Speaker 7: But that was a whole different era. We had Chuck Nole,
Speaker 7: we had discipline, We had you know what I mean.
Speaker 7: You didn't You weren't on TikTok then because it wasn't
Speaker 7: TikTok one pointing around social media. You weren't getting into
Speaker 7: into trouble at the bar or whatever. You know, that
Speaker 7: kind of thing, all right, same as baseball's the same way. Okay, Uh,
Speaker 7: there's no more Jim Leland's out there, There's no more
Speaker 7: Tommy Lasorda's out there. There's no more uh Billy Martin's.
Speaker 7: There's there were a lot of managers in it in
Speaker 7: those days that were great managers that had won championships,
Speaker 7: world Series and that kind of thing. And now you
Speaker 7: have you know, the current way of things are going
Speaker 7: in baseball used to be called America's pastime and until
Speaker 7: they get a salary cap, which they never will. Okay,
Speaker 7: baseball is not going to be right like the other
Speaker 7: sports and it's not going to be fair. And but
Speaker 7: I do agree with Bonds and one and one small
Speaker 7: perspective here he's right. But in another perspective, like George said,
Speaker 7: or Tawney does, do you know his his his stats,
Speaker 7: you know and all that. But now in baseball you
Speaker 7: have analytics, you have you don't have the coaches like
Speaker 7: you used to that were able to develop players better. Uh.
Speaker 2: You know, It's just it's not like it was in
Speaker 2: the past and it never will be.
Speaker 1: Things changing all sports, Jay Dizzel, tell me what do
Speaker 1: you think.
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, Barry Bonds saying what he said
Speaker 6: is almost as ridiculous as pac Man Jones saying what
Speaker 6: he said on Dion Sanders podcast, where he said that
Speaker 6: he never used his own urine for a drug test
Speaker 6: for an NFL drug test, and then he was about
Speaker 6: to tell everybody how to do it apparently that it's
Speaker 6: just ridiculous.
Speaker 8: Man, Come on, Barry Bonds, come really.
Speaker 6: Show Hey, o tany he couldn't have hit the baseball
Speaker 6: back in your day. Nobody was throwing at you that much.
Speaker 6: You had what seventy three intentional walks in one year?
Speaker 6: How many of those intentional walk pitches went? It's your head,
Speaker 6: Barry Bonds, come like it's ridiculous. Yes, you're welcome to
Speaker 6: have your feelings, but can we just I need to
Speaker 6: end this goat talk. Until everybody's the same age that
Speaker 6: watched the same basketball or the same baseball or the
Speaker 6: same football, none of this goat talk will ever be settled.
Speaker 6: It'll be an ongoing debate. Like politics. Something should just
Speaker 6: make you angry every day of your life. So just
Speaker 6: stop it with the goat talk. Pete Rose, we see
Speaker 6: he might get pardoned to get into the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6: Barry Bonds, you're great. You're not in the Hall of
Speaker 6: Fame because you're steroid. Roger Clemens, you're not in the
Speaker 6: Hall of fame. Y'all are all great. Just shut up
Speaker 6: about it.
Speaker 8: We know already.
Speaker 1: Your thoughts.
Speaker 3: Barry Bonds, just live your life. You don't know what happened.
Speaker 3: You drafted in the Pittsburgh Pirates. We're horrible as a
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh Pirates. Ralph, agree with me, Pittsburgh Pirates. He was horrible.
Speaker 3: He goes, he goes more.
Speaker 6: Than me and blew up to six foot two two forty.
Speaker 6: I mean it was tiny when he played for the Pirates, right, Yes,
Speaker 6: that's what I was.
Speaker 3: Just gonna say. You You you get this little pill
Speaker 3: and old sud you're like Arnold Schwarzenegger, like what you
Speaker 3: just need to keep your mouth shut. Live your life.
Speaker 3: You were semi good. You're not in the Hall of
Speaker 3: Fame because you took steroids and you're wanted that home
Speaker 3: run thing you got intentionally walked like nine hundred times.
Speaker 3: When you're in the San Francisco Giant. It's a different
Speaker 3: era than what you played. So Barry, just live your life,
Speaker 3: Just do what you have to do and just get over.
Speaker 3: The pitching's the same. The pitching's not the same. It's
Speaker 3: the everything.
Speaker 2: We've got.
Speaker 3: Pitch count now. The bases are shorter, there's like six
Speaker 3: inch difference, and I don't know what it is. There's there.
Speaker 3: There's no more shift change, there's no more There's a
Speaker 3: lot of things that change throughout the years. The Air
Speaker 3: League play, I disagree with p digits there that the
Speaker 3: inn League game is played. That's that's fun for for
Speaker 3: fans that just gives you like for Philadelphia, New England,
Speaker 3: for Philadelphia and New York that that's just a fun series.
Speaker 3: It's just makes it more fun for everybody. But Barry,
Speaker 3: come on now.
Speaker 1: Okay, here's my two cents and whatever for whatever they're worth. Baseball, Yes, baseball.
Speaker 1: All of the major sports have evolved over the years.
Speaker 1: Do I think baseball has evolved as much or has
Speaker 1: changed as much as some of the other sports to know?
Speaker 1: And that's probably a good topic for another night, because
Speaker 1: I would say, I would say the NBA has changed
Speaker 1: the most, but that's not the topic for tonight. Tonight's
Speaker 1: topic is is MLB softer? I would argue that all
Speaker 1: of the leagues are softer these days, that all of
Speaker 1: the players are softer. You're not gonna see the iron
Speaker 1: Man of Cal Ripken, or you're not gonna see the
Speaker 1: Brett Favre of consecutive games. I don't think again, because
Speaker 1: they don't play is long. Because I think part of
Speaker 1: it is is because nowadays we expect our youth to
Speaker 1: be a one sport pony, and they are guided down
Speaker 1: a path to excel in that one sport. And we've
Speaker 1: had guests on our show that have said that when
Speaker 1: you do that, you are asking for troubles and injuries
Speaker 1: because you're not toning your body with all the other sports,
Speaker 1: playing different sports, and so you're consistently always like let's
Speaker 1: say you're a pitcher, you're consistently throwing. You have the
Speaker 1: same motion going for years and years and years. Eventually
Speaker 1: your body is gonna wear down. But very is it
Speaker 1: a softer game. I don't know that it's a soft
Speaker 1: I think everybody softer. And yes, it's gonna change because
Speaker 1: times have changed. I'm sorry. I now have a cell
Speaker 1: phone that is a need computer that I can look
Speaker 1: up all kinds of information. They didn't have that back then.
Speaker 1: So yes, analytics have changed. Technology has changed the game.
Speaker 1: But Shohey is a great talent, and I get he
Speaker 1: said that he's a good talent. But I don't think
Speaker 1: we need to compare how it was back then to
Speaker 1: how it is now because there it's no comparison. You
Speaker 1: can't compare it. It's different eras, So stop even trying
Speaker 1: to do it. Stop trying to compare is Lebron better
Speaker 1: or MJ? Stop it they played in different eras. It's
Speaker 1: different ballgame. Just appreciate the talent you have out there
Speaker 1: right now. With that, we're gonna go to my towne. So,
Speaker 1: mister Ralph, what's happening in your tone?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 5: Not?
Speaker 7: Well, I gotta I'm gonna do my joke here because
Speaker 7: it involves the Penguins. This kid was in divorce court
Speaker 7: and the judge says to the kid's son, I can't
Speaker 7: make my mind up who I want you to live with?
Speaker 7: Your mommy or your daddy. The kid says to the judge,
Speaker 7: your honor, I don't I don't want to live with
Speaker 7: either one of them. They beat me, and then the
Speaker 7: judge says to the kid, well, you gotta live with somebody,
Speaker 7: and he says, I want to live with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Speaker 7: They don't beat anybody, So there you go, all right.
Speaker 7: But anyway, the Penguins are not doing too well spring
Speaker 7: training baseball pirates or we'll see what happens. And the Steelers,
Speaker 7: we're gonna wait and see if they start thinking outside
Speaker 7: the box this year for the first time. And pit
Speaker 7: football's coming up their spring game in April, and we're
Speaker 7: gonna say they just lost their recruit to a bad
Speaker 7: car accident in India in the state of Indiana, And it's
Speaker 7: really sad. He was supposed to he's a four star
Speaker 7: recruit and was gonna they were gonna actually try to
Speaker 7: work with her, play him this year, try to make
Speaker 7: a difference for the and it turns out that the
Speaker 7: Jackie Show curse is still on it.
Speaker 2: So all right, that's about all.
Speaker 7: When the basketball team's falling down to sixteen and fourteen,
Speaker 7: the men's basketball team for Pitton could end.
Speaker 2: Up in the nit. So there we are.
Speaker 1: That's my town, Ralph, what's happening in your town again?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, George.
Speaker 5: What's happening in my town? Well, we see the injury
Speaker 5: bug coming out again. You know, the Detroit Lyons. We
Speaker 5: all know what happened with them and all those injuries,
Speaker 5: and they overcame him to win fifteen out of seventeen games.
Speaker 5: But now it's starting to hurt the Red Wings and
Speaker 5: the Tigers. Matt Verling is a very key component of
Speaker 5: the Tigers as they made the playoffs as you know,
Speaker 5: with that mad dash last season, and they attacked eliminated
Speaker 5: Houston Astros in two straight games, took Cleveland to game five.
Speaker 5: But they still have too many holes on this team.
Speaker 5: Matt Verling is not your everyday third baseman. He cannot
Speaker 5: feel like a quality third basement. Excuse me, you got
Speaker 5: hobby air bias with whatever happened to this guy at
Speaker 5: shortstop trying to make a calmback down in Lakeland, Florida.
Speaker 5: You took a rookie Cole to Keith, and you moved
Speaker 5: him from second base to first base. And you kicked
Speaker 5: Spencer Torkelsen temporarily at least off the starting lineup, and
Speaker 5: you brought in Torres, which was a good move only
Speaker 5: one year though, from the Yankees. So the Tigers still
Speaker 5: have a lot of questions in my mind. They also
Speaker 5: suffered an injury to Parker Meadows, who they're counting from
Speaker 5: day one to be the regular center fielder. So right
Speaker 5: now they've got some injuries going on the Tigers. The
Speaker 5: pitching looks still pretty good, pretty strong up of course,
Speaker 5: you know the trade with the Dodgers to get friend
Speaker 5: back clarity as this number two starter behind Schoogle. The
Speaker 5: Red Wings also have been suffering some injuries.
Speaker 2: Lately, but it goes back to what is it old.
Speaker 5: Adage in sports, next guy up, who's going to take
Speaker 5: his spot or her spot on the roster, as Dan
Speaker 5: Campbell told us all during the season to the media, Hey,
Speaker 5: I can't dwell on that injury to so and so.
Speaker 5: I can't Why talk about it right now, I can't
Speaker 5: do anything.
Speaker 2: He's not here. So my town is going through a
Speaker 2: little bit of injury, you know. Right now.
Speaker 5: The Pistons also have had a couple of injuries, but
Speaker 5: so far they're still in the playoff picture. Right now,
Speaker 5: Red Wings, I don't know what's happening. They lost again tonight.
Speaker 5: They couldn't even beat Utah at home, so things are
Speaker 5: not looking good for the Detroit Hockey playoff perspective.
Speaker 2: That's what's going on in my town.
Speaker 1: A d doze.
Speaker 8: Oh in my town.
Speaker 6: I'm so glad Ralph mentioned college basketball. I'm the int
Speaker 6: Togo with Pittsburgh there, so yeah, my town is going
Speaker 6: to be I'm very busy the next few days.
Speaker 8: I've got trips.
Speaker 6: Second baseball practice tomorrow evening at six trips. My oldest son,
Speaker 6: five years old. I was a baseball player. He's playing
Speaker 6: baseball for the first time. So I got his practice
Speaker 6: tomorrow and then we're heading up to the SoCon Tournament,
Speaker 6: the Southern Conference basketball tournament in Ashville. I'll be there
Speaker 6: covering Sanford, a little bit of Furnman, a little bit
Speaker 6: of East Tennessee State. And apparently people have trouble with
Speaker 6: understanding how I'm able to cover so many teams and
Speaker 6: do so many things, but we managed to do it.
Speaker 6: We do what we gotta do, and I think it's fun.
Speaker 6: I just I love meeting all these different fans. That's
Speaker 6: what we say on Southern Fried Sports. I'm here to
Speaker 6: unify the fans, have a good sports talk, share some opinions,
Speaker 6: have a good time, and George, Ralph Pensman, Candy, it's
Speaker 6: always a pleasure to be here. So yeah, my party
Speaker 6: got busy weekend, but I'll be in Asheville for the
Speaker 6: SoCon tournament.
Speaker 8: Oh one last tidbit.
Speaker 6: So it's a small world, y'all. This is one of
Speaker 6: those small world stories. So I was on Facebook today
Speaker 6: buddy of mine, he's the DJ for the Southern Conference
Speaker 6: tournament this weekend that I went to college with. Randomly
Speaker 6: he posted a picture and I was like, Yep, I'm
Speaker 6: in Ashville at Cherokees Hairs Center or whatever it's called.
Speaker 6: And he posted a picture from the court and I
Speaker 6: was like, bro, ain't no way. I was like, I'll
Speaker 6: be there in like two days. I was like, I'm
Speaker 6: definitely gonna come by and see you. Has been forever
Speaker 6: since college. I won't age myself, but yeah, it's been
Speaker 6: a while. I got a little gray, but yeah, small
Speaker 6: world man. Like literally, somebody posted a picture on Twitter
Speaker 6: of the scoreboard and he was in it on the scoreboard.
Speaker 6: After I saw his post, and I was like, I
Speaker 6: definitely got to reach out to this guy and talk Tommy.
Speaker 8: And that's just too much coincidence all in one thing.
Speaker 1: Okay, Pensman, what's happening in your town?
Speaker 3: Speaking of college basketball? Since we're talking about college basketball,
Speaker 3: JD knows where I'm going. The Duke Blue Devils finished
Speaker 3: or twenty seven and three right now in the season.
Speaker 3: They lost to Clemson, which they shouldn't have because Cooper
Speaker 3: Flag tripped and fell and slipped on what flooredness. But regardless,
Speaker 3: that game's over. It's twenty seven to three record. It's
Speaker 3: round two of North Carolina on Saturday night. So I
Speaker 3: was gonna do a short about this, but since I'm one,
Speaker 3: Stanton is back, but he might have to have surgery.
Speaker 3: On the New York Yankees, the Yankees lost eight to
Speaker 3: four today in preseason, in spring training. It's spring training, Nikes, fans,
Speaker 3: It's fine, Garrett Cole got rocked, but it's only spring training.
Speaker 3: So Yankees fans don't panic. It's spring training. It doesn't
Speaker 3: mean a thing. That's why I keep telling some people.
Speaker 3: Some people were like, oh, my team's eight six and four, Well, congratulations,
Speaker 3: it's spring training. It doesn't mean anything. But that's what's
Speaker 3: going on in my town.
Speaker 1: Okay, in my town.
Speaker 3: Hmm.
Speaker 1: The Brewers are gonna be honoring Bob Uker this season
Speaker 1: with a patch on their on their uniforms. They're also
Speaker 1: gonna paint for opening day in Milwaukee. They're gonna paint
Speaker 1: Bob Youuger's signature like they did for spring training, which
Speaker 1: I think is really cool. The Badgers and Marquette are
Speaker 1: both doing well, not necessar in their conferences right now,
Speaker 1: but they're both should be in the tournament. But the
Speaker 1: one really bright spot, and I talked a little bit
Speaker 1: about this last night, is the women's hockey team for Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: They have three their twenty one, one and two or
Speaker 1: something like that. It's crazy how well they played this year.
Speaker 1: They are going in the semi finals tomorrow afternoon. They
Speaker 1: are in the Frozen four, so we will see. But
Speaker 1: I can tell you one the one thing that I
Speaker 1: saw today that made me happy is that. And I
Speaker 1: forget what position it is, but one of the positions
Speaker 1: for Position of the year. Wisconsin's gonna win it because
Speaker 1: the only the three finalists are all from Wisconsin. They're
Speaker 1: not from any other school. So Wisconsin women are taking
Speaker 1: it to the rest of the hot women's hockey world.
Speaker 1: So good luck to them. I hope they do well.
Speaker 1: That's what's happening in my what's happening in my world,
Speaker 1: so in my town. So let's go around the room
Speaker 1: and let everybody know how they're gonna get hold of you.
Speaker 1: I am going to first do a quick station break
