Speaker 1: Good evening, everybody, and welcome to another episode of Fire Up.
Speaker 1: I hope we're all fired up tonight. I know there's
Speaker 1: some basketball teams that have fired up and some that
Speaker 1: are not. So I'm gonna go around and introduce everybody. Pensman,
Speaker 1: welcome back to the show tonight.
Speaker 2: Thanks for having me. I'm fired up. Let's go.
Speaker 1: Okay, mister j D, how are you tonight?
Speaker 3: I am doing well. Let's fire up these friars, Let's
Speaker 3: get Southern fried, let's do whatever it is y'all do
Speaker 3: down in Florida, and let's fire up baby.
Speaker 1: And then Brian, welcome the show. Is your first time
Speaker 1: on fire.
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, welcome.
Speaker 5: Welcome, Thank you for letting me coming in. And my
Speaker 5: name is Brian, and I'm just gonna have fun and
Speaker 5: I'm ready to go. Let's go, let's fire it up.
Speaker 1: Tell people a little bit about yourself, Brian, Like, where
Speaker 1: are you located? What kind of I'm.
Speaker 5: Located actually in Easley, South Carolina, and I like playing
Speaker 5: sports and listening to sports, and I'm a big Clemson
Speaker 5: fan and a Cubs fan and all kinds of other.
Speaker 3: Fans to uhh yeah, hey, well, hey, we know we've
Speaker 3: got a clash already, Me and Brian down here on
Speaker 3: the bottom. You know, I got a chicken on my
Speaker 3: shirt for a reason. Gang Cocks and Tigers, we don't
Speaker 3: get a little get a well so long, but do
Speaker 3: we know? Yeah, we do. Me and Brian, we're good buddies.
Speaker 3: I'm so happy to be here though, with him and
Speaker 3: Pensman send our Candy. Almost called you, Cindy, Sorry, but Candy,
Speaker 3: I'm so happy to be here with you.
Speaker 1: Glad to be here too. Brian, We're gonna class you
Speaker 1: and I are going to clash a little bit too.
Speaker 1: If you didn't know this, I'm actually I was raised
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin, so I am definitely a Brewers fan, so
Speaker 1: Brewers fans typically do not like Cubs fans. But it's okay, you.
Speaker 2: Know, feeling side feelings aside.
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly. We got the better of you last year,
Speaker 1: so hey more can I say?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: It's a new season though, so and you guys are spending.
Speaker 1: You guys spend a lot more money than we do.
Speaker 2: And it took and it took the Cubs one hundred
Speaker 2: and eight years to actually win a World Series, and
Speaker 2: I'll probably take another one hundred and eight but what
Speaker 2: that's another time.
Speaker 3: That's topic.
Speaker 1: Right now, we're talking March madness.
Speaker 2: That's right, That's why I said that's another time. Just
Speaker 2: want throw that undred one hundred and eight to you.
Speaker 3: What is uh can what is march madness?
Speaker 2: Now madness?
Speaker 1: There's a lot of March madness, isn't there? Like in
Speaker 1: the NFL all this NFL free agency. But let's take
Speaker 1: it the March madness. The brackets the men and women's
Speaker 1: college basketball, and it started the other night and it's
Speaker 1: continuing with some typical upside upsets because like we normally
Speaker 1: see on the men's side, five twelve matchups, normally there's
Speaker 1: an upset at least one in that bracket. Pensman talk
Speaker 1: a little bit about college basketball.
Speaker 2: Well, just want to educate everybody. John call Perry used
Speaker 2: to coach the Kentucky Wildcats. Daddy went to Arkansas. Everybody
Speaker 2: started trash talking that John Kerry Perry lost. They can't
Speaker 2: do this, can't do that, He can't coach a small school,
Speaker 2: can't be a coach the Kentucky way. Well guess what, everybody,
Speaker 2: They just took out Kansas Jayhawks and Jayhawks have to
Speaker 2: wait till November to play basketball. Yeah, they just defeated
Speaker 2: him in round one.
Speaker 1: They did, they did, and it was a big win
Speaker 1: for him, huge, Yes.
Speaker 2: And cal Perry's wife and daughter could not watch the
Speaker 2: end and then they started celebrating when the horn went.
Speaker 2: It was awesome to watch. So good good for cal Perry.
Speaker 1: Good good good JD. Your thoughts so far in the tournament.
Speaker 3: I have a few things to say. I'll try to
Speaker 3: get them out relatively quickly. Number one, I told y'all
Speaker 3: earlier I heard the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard
Speaker 3: in my entire life on the radio this morning. Brian,
Speaker 3: did you hear it? You heard it this? Yeah, this
Speaker 3: guy had the nerve to say that Will Wade, a
Speaker 3: former graduate of Clemson University, was not going to do
Speaker 3: everything in his power to upset Clem and Candy. You
Speaker 3: just mentioned twelve's over fives. I saw McNee state. They
Speaker 3: went viral not long ago. They have a heck of
Speaker 3: a trainer. I think that's very popular Will Wade. Obviously
Speaker 3: people have their feelings over him, but he just took
Speaker 3: the job at NC State, and this dude literally had
Speaker 3: the nerve to say he's not gonna do whatever he
Speaker 3: can to win this game, Bro, we're talking about college athletics. Okay,
Speaker 3: We're not talking about some referee in the seventies trying
Speaker 3: to throw a football game like and remember the Titans. Okay,
Speaker 3: that's not what we're talking about here. We're talking about
Speaker 3: Will Wade, who just accepted an ACC job. And speaking
Speaker 3: of the ACC, i'll transition. Somebody asked question earlier, will
Speaker 3: the ACC flutter out first or will it be the SEC.
Speaker 3: So we just saw Arkansas win. As Pensman mentioned, we
Speaker 3: do see Drake beating Missouri right now, fifty to forty
Speaker 3: one with about eight minutes ago in the second half.
Speaker 3: So you've already seen Louisville, though, upset by Creighton, who
Speaker 3: knew that UNC was going to go on a major
Speaker 3: run the minute that anybody said they didn't belong in
Speaker 3: the tournament. They were going on a run.
Speaker 2: Period.
Speaker 3: I saw it coming from a mile away. I put
Speaker 3: him in the sweet sixteen. I picked McNeice over Clemson.
Speaker 3: So I mean, my bracket's not perfect. I missed the
Speaker 3: Louisville Creighton pick. But you want to know the good
Speaker 3: thing about it is I used the pencil and not
Speaker 3: pen So.
Speaker 2: You're cheating, cheating, cheating, cheater.
Speaker 3: I reserved the right to change my picks.
Speaker 2: How you can't have pencil.
Speaker 3: I haven't done that. I'm just kidding. But if you're not,
Speaker 3: I'm I'm completely jugging. I did the whole I did
Speaker 3: the internet thing, so I can't go back and change them.
Speaker 3: But if you're not cheating, you're not trying in my opinion,
Speaker 3: And maybe Clemson should have cheated against McNeice. They did
Speaker 3: make a heck of a run in the second half,
Speaker 3: So Briant Clemson fan, my man, I'm Candy was about
Speaker 3: to throw it to you. I'll let her do it,
Speaker 3: but I'm ready to hear how you feel about Brad
Speaker 3: Brandell getting that extension and then losing in the first
Speaker 3: round of the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Go for it, Brian, you mean you may.
Speaker 4: My honesty okay, my honest thing.
Speaker 3: Is, of course, I want you to be honest. No cheating, Yeah,
Speaker 3: no cheating, No cheating.
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah. I haven't liked Okay.
Speaker 5: The only coach that I've actually liked that has been
Speaker 5: under Clemson is probably the Tennessee coach.
Speaker 3: No, no way, Rick Barnes. I was about to say
Speaker 3: it before you said it was Yes, it was.
Speaker 4: A good coach.
Speaker 5: And after that, it's this gone downhill from there all
Speaker 5: the way down. And I just don't I mean the style, okay,
Speaker 5: but it's it's it's just something missing. There's every minute
Speaker 5: of the day it's more or less we miss we
Speaker 5: do it. Just like today, that team didn't even look
Speaker 5: like it's been That team didn't even look nothing like
Speaker 5: three weeks ago. But they've been struggling all they've been
Speaker 5: struggling all year. So but my take on the whole
Speaker 5: entire basketball season, it's gonna get crazy. That's why they
Speaker 5: call it the March Madness. It's gonna get crazy, and
Speaker 5: it's gonna get you know, it's gonna get crazy.
Speaker 3: Right, Miss Candy. Can I drop a few stats? Of
Speaker 3: course you can. And of course, so Clemson scored the
Speaker 3: fewest points by any one through five seed in the
Speaker 3: first half of the first round of an NCUBLEA Tournament
Speaker 3: game ever, thirty one to thirteen. Pensman, didn't you just
Speaker 3: say that threes was Scott's favorite number? Well, ago you
Speaker 3: said thirty three point three, So he likes threes. Thirty
Speaker 3: one to thirteen, man, that's a football score, and Clemson
Speaker 3: was losing by that at the half. Like I said,
Speaker 3: they made a valiant run, but they dropped the fewest
Speaker 3: points in the first half of an NC tournament game ever. Yeah,
Speaker 3: thirty one thirteen.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, that sounds so familiar. Friday, Nate Duke
Speaker 2: and North Carol played. They had a heck over run.
Speaker 3: They came up Stuart, Oh, North count Man. They a
Speaker 3: lane violation, a lane violation, which is well, I mean
Speaker 3: he did commit a laying violation.
Speaker 2: He did. But you don't hear about violations.
Speaker 3: Well you might in high school, but not when they're
Speaker 3: to tie the game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but not in college and the NBA.
Speaker 3: I mean, well, that's the thing about all sports. Certain
Speaker 3: things get highlighted more, like everybody with the chiefs and
Speaker 3: they're cheating and stuff like. Certain things get highlighted a
Speaker 3: bit more when it comes down to crunch clutch time, which,
Speaker 3: by the way, does anybody out there under the age
Speaker 3: of thirty know what a clutch is, Like, what an
Speaker 3: actual clutch is. That'll be the third pedal to the left.
Speaker 3: NASCAR doesn't even use a clutch anymore, for the love
Speaker 3: of God. They use a little lever over here on
Speaker 3: their on their shifter. So I guarantee you nobody under
Speaker 3: the age of thirty knows what a clutch is. And
Speaker 3: then here are two more stats, and I'll let you guys.
Speaker 2: D JD if they hope before you do the stats,
Speaker 2: if that's car would do a clutch as they would
Speaker 2: break easily and burn out by halfway the race.
Speaker 3: They just got the clutch like two years ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just saying they would burn out and the
Speaker 2: pit will be Oh.
Speaker 3: They did just They did just fine for forty eight
Speaker 3: years with.
Speaker 2: A club I know, I know.
Speaker 3: And they also did just fine for five years with
Speaker 3: a bunch of moonshine in the trunk.
Speaker 2: Oh, you're bringing that up.
Speaker 3: Say you're trying to give them an out for not
Speaker 3: using the clutch anymore.
Speaker 2: That's because they're not worth having anymore.
Speaker 1: You're you're turning that this topic around. We're right now,
Speaker 1: No NASCAR, come on, let's get fired up for March madness.
Speaker 2: All right to your status.
Speaker 3: Well, hey, Pensman does love Daytona.
Speaker 1: I know he does.
Speaker 3: That's where he Oh man, I had to do it.
Speaker 3: I don't knew it. So the other two stats, though,
Speaker 3: were Clemson. They were out rebounded like thirty one to
Speaker 3: thirteen or something. Also very similar to the score. I
Speaker 3: forget the exact stat and then the other stat though
Speaker 3: was McNeice. They had twenty seven bench points. And when
Speaker 3: you have that kind of bench production, I don't care
Speaker 3: what kind of basketball game you're playing, you're probably gonna win.
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree.
Speaker 3: I mean.
Speaker 1: The team that I'm gonna talk about, obviously, the other
Speaker 1: team that won decisively I would say today was my
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Badgers eighty five over Montana sixty six. The Badgers
Speaker 1: shot it a lot better. Let's face it, Montana didn't
Speaker 1: shoot well. They were only shooting thirty nine percent from
Speaker 1: the field, whereas Badgers were shooting fifty five percent. Three pointers,
Speaker 1: you know, Montana made seven, Wisconsin made seven, and then
Speaker 1: free throws Wisconsin made eighty percent and Montana only made nine.
Speaker 1: Wisconsin played Michigan tough in the Big Ten at tourney
Speaker 1: and they beat Michigan State, which Michigan State was, you know,
Speaker 1: one the Big Ten regular season, so it'll be interesting.
Speaker 1: Now Wisconsin gets BYU on Saturday, so it's a three
Speaker 1: six matchup, so that should be a very interesting game.
Speaker 1: But any other.
Speaker 3: Thoughts, Candy out, Can I ask you one question? Sure? How?
Speaker 3: Because I know this was another topic of conversation. How
Speaker 3: did you feel about Michigan winning the Big Ten beating
Speaker 3: Wisconsin Maryland? I think Michigan State was the other team
Speaker 3: they beat.
Speaker 2: You didn't but you didn't tune in by, did you?
Speaker 3: No, No, I missed it, So I want to hear
Speaker 3: what No I missed it?
Speaker 1: So Wisconsin beat Michigan State, Scott.
Speaker 3: The lower seed. What I was going to say is
Speaker 3: Michigan ended up with that lower seed, right? And how
Speaker 3: do you feel where you? I mean, I know it's
Speaker 3: more about the body of work, but how what were
Speaker 3: your thoughts on didn't Michigan deserve a higher seed? I
Speaker 3: guess maybe it would be the way I would ask it.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would do that because with
Speaker 1: all the all the changeover from Michigan from last year
Speaker 1: now last year they had Dwan Howard as the coach,
Speaker 1: they didn't make the tournament. They were what were they?
Speaker 1: They had a really bad record like eight and something
Speaker 1: last year, and they hired Dusty May who came up
Speaker 1: from over here. We worked with him over at a
Speaker 1: FAU and he took some of his players up to
Speaker 1: Michigan as well. He took flag Golden who's had a
Speaker 1: really good year. He's really turned the program around. Are
Speaker 1: they where they probably want to be?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 1: But do I think Wisconsin deserved the better seed. I
Speaker 1: do because it was a very close game. They didn't
Speaker 1: lose by much in the in that big ten turn anything,
Speaker 1: it was like six points and it was so it
Speaker 1: wasn't by much. I think people that they've played, their
Speaker 1: strength of schedule played a role. I think coaching. I mean,
Speaker 1: Dusty may is a great coach, but he's the first year,
Speaker 1: first time there at Michigan, whereas Greg Guard's been there
Speaker 1: for a while at Wisconsin. And I think I'd like
Speaker 1: to see Wisconsin do well. They've they've had one of
Speaker 1: the a good player, a couple of good players, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, we've had Frank the Tank in the past.
Speaker 1: But it'll be interesting. I think. You know, they have
Speaker 1: John Blackwell who got nineteen points today. He did well.
Speaker 1: They have some other who else I'm trying to think.
Speaker 1: I unfortunately, I work a daytime job, and of course
Speaker 1: they want to put my game on at one o'clock
Speaker 1: during the afternoon. And no, I'm not one of these
Speaker 1: because I'm a manager. I can't yet look at the
Speaker 1: phone and watch them while they're while it was playing.
Speaker 1: So but they have some good players. They have Tanji
Speaker 1: who he he did good today too as well, so
Speaker 1: fifteen points for him, Crowl eighteen. So they spread it
Speaker 1: around a little. It sounds like Amos at eleven. So
Speaker 1: I'm happy with the seating. But thanks for asking.
Speaker 3: My pleasure.
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, so far I am this was this
Speaker 5: is going back to Mart's madness right now. I am
Speaker 5: with my right now, I'm a ninety one point nine
Speaker 5: percent with ninety points, and I am two point zero
Speaker 5: million people in the fix right now.
Speaker 3: That was something too. How about perfect brackets, Candy, I
Speaker 3: could have worn that was a perfect bracket not long ago,
Speaker 3: but apparently never.
Speaker 2: They're showing they're showing the Clemson highlights.
Speaker 4: Sorry, Brian, are your fine?
Speaker 3: No? Hey, you mean you mean the Clemson low lights.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're showing the highlights right now.
Speaker 1: I thought there was a perfect bracket last year, wasn't there?
Speaker 3: No? Not, No, it's been at I thought there was
Speaker 3: one like fifteen years ago, but somebody searched it when
Speaker 3: I asked the question earlier, and no, they said never.
Speaker 3: The closest was someone in Ohio twenty nineteen, who got
Speaker 3: forty nine out of sixty three or something like that
Speaker 3: in the first round or first two rounds.
Speaker 1: That's right there saying no one ever has had a
Speaker 1: verified perfect bracket and the odds of achieving one are
Speaker 1: astronomically low, estimated at around one in nine point two
Speaker 1: quintillionion All.
Speaker 3: Well, hey, since we're talking about stats, somebody did that
Speaker 3: math on the radio earlier, Brian, you probably heard it
Speaker 3: as well. It was like everybody would have to fill
Speaker 3: out one billion brackets everybody on planet Earth. What is
Speaker 3: there three and a half billion, four billion, whatever it
Speaker 3: is now in order to hit that nine quintillion number
Speaker 3: of the chance everybody would have to fill out a
Speaker 3: billion brackets, Candy. And when you start talking about the
Speaker 3: difference between a billion and a million, if you start
Speaker 3: talking about it in seconds and years, the number gets
Speaker 3: really crazy. It's so long, Kansas, Yeah, so long. Good night.
Speaker 2: Welcome to the show, Heady, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks for being here.
Speaker 4: Brother.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I had believe this or not, and I can
Speaker 5: show you I picked Arkansas to beat Kansas.
Speaker 3: No you didn't, I would Yeah, I would have picked them,
Speaker 3: took Kansas happened.
Speaker 2: I'll be good job, Brian. I thought you would take
Speaker 2: can Yeah.
Speaker 3: He brought the receipt, bro Yeah, I get out of here.
Speaker 3: Receipt mine's in pencil. I don't have it here.
Speaker 1: Well, on this Drake Missouri game has gotten close.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I got on right now? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Why why is Liberty which is I'm not taking anything
Speaker 2: from them, but why is Liberty in Oregon playing at
Speaker 2: ten to ten? Nobody cares about that at Duke's playing
Speaker 2: at two forty I do.
Speaker 4: I'll care about the Oregon game.
Speaker 2: Of course you would say that. Of course, Brian.
Speaker 3: Edie Eddie, he said he picked McNeese to win as
Speaker 3: one of his twelves.
Speaker 2: That is doesn't Oh man.
Speaker 3: We got game cock Chuck chiming in and.
Speaker 2: The coach that the coach that we're talking about is
Speaker 2: about playing is about to start soon with Patino.
Speaker 1: So do we think there's an upset gonna happen tomorrow?
Speaker 1: And if it is, who's it gonna be? Mm?
Speaker 2: Liberty?
Speaker 3: Uh here, Candy, can you give me a few of
Speaker 3: the games.
Speaker 1: Sure, we're gonna start Baylor versus Mississippi State, Robert Morris
Speaker 1: versus Alabama Lipscomb versus Iowa State, Colorado State versus Memphis,
Speaker 1: which is a twelve five matchup. Mount Saint Mary versus Duke,
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt versus Saint Mary's. North Carolina versus Ole, Miss Grand
Speaker 1: Canyon versus Maryland, Norfolk State versus Florida, Troy versus Kentucky,
Speaker 1: New Mexico versus Marquette, Akron versus Arizona, Oklahoma versus Connecticut,
Speaker 1: Xavier versus Illinois, Bryant versus Michigan State, and Liberty versus Oregon,
Speaker 1: which is another five to twelve matchup.
Speaker 3: What was that first twelve five matchup you mentioned?
Speaker 1: The first five to twelve matchup was Colorado State versus Memphis.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, that's where I was going to start. Memphis
Speaker 3: this year hasn't been with a lot of pea people.
Speaker 3: I think I expected them to be, so I would
Speaker 3: say that that one might be one.
Speaker 7: But on the other hand, go eddie, eddie my next one,
Speaker 7: and this might be a shocker.
Speaker 3: We got Hurley trying to go for a three peet
Speaker 3: with Connecticut. Right, Oklahoma went eight and twelve in the
Speaker 3: SEC and guess what a lot of people said about them.
Speaker 3: They don't belong. Guess what I just said. You n
Speaker 3: C is going to the Sweet sixteen. So there's your
Speaker 3: other U n C Ole Miss. So I'm taking UNC
Speaker 3: to beat Ole Miss. And then I don't as far
Speaker 3: as upset to watch, give me yeah, give me Oklahoma
Speaker 3: over Connecticut tomorrow as well.
Speaker 1: Okay, Pensman, you got do you have any upsets?
Speaker 2: You think Liberty beat in the organ like Eddie said,
Speaker 2: but I said it before Eddie. But I'm just glad
Speaker 2: Eddie read with me. But that's awesome that I would
Speaker 2: love to see Liberty beat in the Oregon Brian.
Speaker 1: How about you any.
Speaker 4: State beating Memphis?
Speaker 5: Okay, so yep, And then I got Oklahoma, I mean,
Speaker 5: got that's not an upset, but you can over Oklahoma tomorrow.
Speaker 4: So that's what I got.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so he yeah, you were opposite on me there. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: we'll we'll have to track those receipts. And then hey, yeah,
Speaker 3: Eddie and Pensman as so we've got Clemson guy over here, Brian.
Speaker 3: They lost, but guess what game Cocks lost last year
Speaker 3: in the tournament to Oregon to a player who transferred
Speaker 3: from South Carolina to Oregon, Cusynard. And yeah, I'm good
Speaker 3: with that, y'all. Get yes, please beat Oregon Liberty, go sure,
Speaker 3: beat him. Get him out of here. You're out of here,
Speaker 3: Get out of here.
Speaker 2: I got one stat to bring up since JD's full stats,
Speaker 2: so I'm bringing some stats in. Saint John's is about
Speaker 2: Ray to play in the March Badness. This is the
Speaker 2: first time they've been in March Badness play since twenty fifteen.
Speaker 2: So Rick Potito, coach your heart out and hope you
Speaker 2: win this match. Because we were talking about Rick Potito
Speaker 2: last week, So hopefully what we talk about last night
Speaker 2: carries over to right now as we're about radio tip.
Speaker 3: Off right well, and Brian and Candy, I'll let you
Speaker 3: guys chime in on this. Speaking of Rick Patino, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 3: it isn't he just kind of flying under the radar
Speaker 3: a little bit right where you want to be. You
Speaker 3: don't want anybody talking about you, You don't want anybody
Speaker 3: blowing your players heads up. So are those guys not
Speaker 3: just like flying under the radar right now in a
Speaker 3: perfect spot?
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, I would say yeah. I mean we also
Speaker 1: saw history this year because coach Rick Patino and coach
Speaker 1: Richard Patino are the first ever father son duo to
Speaker 1: receive conference Coach of the Year honors in the same
Speaker 1: year in all of Division one.
Speaker 3: Best father son duo in basketball. And yes, I know
Speaker 3: about Lebron and Brownie James.
Speaker 1: Oh that is funny. That is funny. How far do
Speaker 1: we think Duke's gonna go? Who's gonna Who's gonna win
Speaker 1: it all? Who's your who's your.
Speaker 6: Mm hmm?
Speaker 3: What's your pick?
Speaker 2: Before I go, you're talking to a Duke Harod, You
Speaker 2: want my opinion?
Speaker 3: Honestly, do you really think Duke will win it all?
Speaker 2: Hold on Duke in Florida in the in the championship
Speaker 2: and I think Florida has a slate edge. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: the Gator's note right there, right there.
Speaker 5: I got Duke and Michigan State playing for the championship game,
Speaker 5: and I have Duke coming out there as a winner.
Speaker 1: JD.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's really tough between Auburn and Florida, I
Speaker 3: think as to who I would pick. But yeah, as
Speaker 3: Eddie just said, there depends on Cooper Flag's health, which
Speaker 3: another stat he will he'll play tomorrow, but honestly, I'm
Speaker 3: not playing him. I'm John Shire. You're smart in that
Speaker 3: just because he's available doesn't mean you have to play him. Okay,
Speaker 3: he can come back and play. Yes, Cooper Flag is
Speaker 3: one of those talents I think that can and go
Speaker 3: out and win a championship on his own. For Duke,
Speaker 3: I do believe that, But I don't know. There's still
Speaker 3: some kind of sneaky team out there. I feel like that.
Speaker 3: I just feel like, you know what I mean, there's
Speaker 3: always one every year that kind of just grow.
Speaker 2: Did you see the South Region bracket though? That they
Speaker 2: should cruise to the final four. It's until you get
Speaker 2: to the final four is where it's gonna get tricky.
Speaker 2: Ms as if you might want to go pencil your
Speaker 2: bracket out and look at the South Region again.
Speaker 3: Right, I'm just telling you're a lot braver than I.
Speaker 5: We're about to have another upset now, Drake is gonna
Speaker 5: be missou.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it looks like at fifty eight fifty one.
Speaker 2: Again, good, there's the receipt. There's the receipt.
Speaker 3: Yet got another one if it happens, everybody, hey go
Speaker 3: make sure to look back at twenty eight minutes and
Speaker 3: you can get all of Brian's info from his illegal
Speaker 3: gambling website.
Speaker 2: He uses so we're live at So I have a question.
Speaker 1: For you, guys. Ad So I read I read something
Speaker 1: today that there was a writer out there that believes
Speaker 1: that we should do away with the national anthem before
Speaker 1: sporting events. What's your thought thoughts?
Speaker 3: Go ahead, somebody?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, go ahead, you're the doobie.
Speaker 1: Put you on the spot. Sorry.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's kind of hard to say because sometimes they
Speaker 5: don't do it in schools. Now is this a way
Speaker 5: of life now? I mean, if they don't, I mean,
Speaker 5: I can see why people are getting mad. But we
Speaker 5: live in the United States, so I think we should
Speaker 5: do it. But if it hurts somebody, then all right,
Speaker 5: let's just cancel it all out.
Speaker 4: You know it is.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's part of our heritage. So it's been
Speaker 5: in there for millions of years. So I don't know,
Speaker 5: It's just one of those mis emotions, I believe, Fensman,
Speaker 5: what's your thoughts?
Speaker 2: Depend depends I'm struggling here because it depends on the sport.
Speaker 2: Because NASCAR does a really phenomenal job with it. Okay, Babo,
Speaker 2: Baseball only does it in the World Series and Opening day.
Speaker 3: Hockey they do it before every games TV, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, on TV. But hockey, you do it every night.
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's like up in the air. It's
Speaker 2: like I don't know, like I I like it, But
Speaker 2: if it's done proper, I don't know like I like it. No,
Speaker 2: But it all depends where what sport. Because of what
Speaker 2: I just said, But hockey, I guess she could don't know,
Speaker 2: and what what the Canadian that billing those? I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's just up in the air. I don't. I have
Speaker 2: no take on it because it all depends on what sport.
Speaker 1: JD your thoughts.
Speaker 3: Three things? Number one, could the national anthem be rewritten
Speaker 3: and possibly change some of the wording around? No, yes,
Speaker 3: I agree it should be. I'm not going to go
Speaker 3: into what words and what I mean, but we're talking
Speaker 3: about a song that'll be three hundred years old and
Speaker 3: fifty years so it's and fifty years old. I mean,
Speaker 3: we've got AI for everything now, just just remake it
Speaker 3: a little bit, tweak it a little bit. And then
Speaker 3: number two would be they play it before every sporting event.
Speaker 3: It's always been played before every sporting event, whether or
Speaker 3: not it's shown on TV or not. But what I mean, yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean we're Americans, right, I mean, it's what we do.
Speaker 3: We have a we have a food that's called a hamburger.
Speaker 3: Guess how much ham is in it? Not a bit.
Speaker 3: I ain't a bit of ham and a hamburger. So
Speaker 3: I mean it's we do a lot of things that
Speaker 3: don't make sense. We use a different metric system thanks
Speaker 3: to the Saturday Night Live sketch and George Washington and
Speaker 3: the comedian who says theirs is so simple. No, we're
Speaker 3: gonna do it different. We're gonna call it feet in yards.
Speaker 3: So that would be my number two, Like we we
Speaker 3: just do things differently in America. And if you don't
Speaker 3: like it, whatever, get out of here. And then I
Speaker 3: completely forgotten number three. But it doesn't matter because we've
Speaker 3: got comments and I'm sure somebody will remind me about it.
Speaker 1: So do we really do things differently? Let me ask you, guys,
Speaker 1: And I know that this is in a sport that
Speaker 1: here in the United States, we really how should I
Speaker 1: put it? Emphasize? But let's face it, have any of
Speaker 1: you ever watched World Cup soccer?
Speaker 8: I've watched a little bit, or I mean, the only
Speaker 8: soccer fans are avid like they're and you watch in
Speaker 8: a different country, they totally get into.
Speaker 1: Their what they call their national anthem, whatever that may be.
Speaker 1: I just think it's sad that we don't get into
Speaker 1: it like they do, because we should have honor and
Speaker 1: respect for our country and anybody that's here in our country,
Speaker 1: I believe should have honor and respect for the country
Speaker 1: that they're living in or visiting or whatever. I have
Speaker 1: problems with people doing our national anthem, and because I
Speaker 1: feel it's a lack of disrespect. I would not do
Speaker 1: that to if when the Canadians come down. We went
Speaker 1: up to Toronto, we were at Blue Jays baseball game.
Speaker 1: They play obviously then they were playing an American team,
Speaker 1: so they play the national anthem, and then they play
Speaker 1: the Canadian national anthem. I don't disrespect them. I won't
Speaker 1: want them disrespecting me. But do I think we should
Speaker 1: stop doing it before any sporting event. Absolutely not, because
Speaker 1: there are some traditions that I feel we need to
Speaker 1: keep true and we need to teach people to respect
Speaker 1: are some of our traditions. That's just my two cents.
Speaker 1: But I saw that article and I'm like, wait what,
Speaker 1: I'm like, We've changed so many things that I think
Speaker 1: we're losing who we are as Americans, and we forget that,
Speaker 1: we forget who bought for our country and some of that.
Speaker 1: And I think part of it also, and I'm going
Speaker 1: to say this with all due respect, is where I live.
Speaker 1: I'm from the Midwest. We wouldn't think of disrespecting anybody
Speaker 1: up there. I now live down in South Florida, and
Speaker 1: obviously there are multitudes of transplants that live down here
Speaker 1: in South Florida. Most people aren't born and raised down
Speaker 1: here in South Florida and stay here. Most of us
Speaker 1: are from different parts of the country, but also different
Speaker 1: parts of the world down here, and that's where I
Speaker 1: think we need to make sure that we keep doing this,
Speaker 1: because I think it's lack of respect for those that
Speaker 1: don't at least respect ours. I'm not saying they have
Speaker 1: to stand up. I'm not saying they have to They
Speaker 1: don't have to sing along, because not everybody can sing
Speaker 1: and not everybody should be singing. But I still think
Speaker 1: that we need to keep it, keep doing it, and
Speaker 1: it's one of those traditions that needs to keep going.
Speaker 3: On my opinion, I completely agree. And there's a couple
Speaker 3: of comments. If we could maybe go back to p
Speaker 3: digits stand tall sing as.
Speaker 2: You look at the comments.
Speaker 3: And then of course Candy, go ahead, Bensa.
Speaker 2: Do you want to keep showing it on TV? Is
Speaker 2: that the problem that you heard about? The article that
Speaker 2: they showed on TV? If you're at the game, I
Speaker 2: can understand. But do they want to remove it from
Speaker 2: showing it on TV? No?
Speaker 1: They want to just remove it period.
Speaker 2: I can see it. I can see it getting away
Speaker 2: from TV viewership. But but removing it all together. I shouldn't.
Speaker 2: It shouldn't be that way, but removing it from TV,
Speaker 2: I can see another way because they want to see
Speaker 2: the action, not the national anthem on TV?
Speaker 1: Do we really need the article? Name of the title
Speaker 1: of the article was do we really need national anthems
Speaker 1: before games? Anymore? So it had nothing to do with
Speaker 1: showing them on TV? But do we need the national
Speaker 1: anthems before games? And I think, like I said, I
Speaker 1: think it's the Canadian team we play art national anthem
Speaker 1: and theirs. It's it's respect for both teams and where
Speaker 1: they're from my personal opinion.
Speaker 2: Again, I think they should. I think they should, but
Speaker 2: not show on TV.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I could hear that. Go ahead, Brian, go
Speaker 3: ahead and.
Speaker 5: I agree with her on that. I mean, we should
Speaker 5: have it, you know, totally. I mean, it's our heritage.
Speaker 5: You know, everybody else does it, so why can't we
Speaker 5: do it? We didn't even do it. If they're going
Speaker 5: to do that, then what's going to happen in the
Speaker 5: BIS in a couple of years? You know, you got
Speaker 5: the one Olympics coming up, you got the Summer Olympics.
Speaker 5: You know, what are they gonna do to stand there
Speaker 5: and go?
Speaker 2: That's definitely a short that I got something for everybody
Speaker 2: later on. I gotta show this later. It's a St.
Speaker 2: John's and Omaha game. I'll show it later. I'll fight.
Speaker 2: I'll definitely find it. Oh man, what game Saint Johnson? Omaha?
Speaker 3: Okay, God, I thought you talked about hockey for a minute.
Speaker 2: That went no, no, no, no, we're talking about March Madness.
Speaker 2: It's a it's I don't I don't pay a touch
Speaker 2: of the hockey.
Speaker 3: Okay, well that's goods.
Speaker 2: My team's down here, not up here.
Speaker 1: Okay, guys, let's let's let's talk a little NFL free agency.
Speaker 2: Let's do that.
Speaker 1: There's still a couple of quarterbacks out there without Combs.
Speaker 1: Do we think they're going to get homes or do
Speaker 1: we think they're going to be sitting at home?
Speaker 2: I'll go first, go ahead, Okay, Okay.
Speaker 5: My thing is, I've been listening to a lot of
Speaker 5: these people analyzing everything, my really tradition. I think they're
Speaker 5: just waiting on Aaron Rodgers because have we seen a
Speaker 5: first round pick go into Usually would see a first
Speaker 5: round pick right about now, you know, a team going, oh,
Speaker 5: I want your first round pick. We haven't seen that yet.
Speaker 5: So are we really waiting on Aaron Rodgers or is
Speaker 5: this everybody this hunker down. We're not going to say
Speaker 5: anything until whenever, you know. But it's just it's a
Speaker 5: mess right now. The whole entire quarterback convert. Nobody knows
Speaker 5: what they want to do, you know, and it's it depends.
Speaker 1: I think it was interesting that we've seen a lot
Speaker 1: of one of the what I would say, second tier
Speaker 1: or backup quarterbacks land before some of the first tier quarterbacks. JD.
Speaker 3: Your thoughts, well, speaking to what you just said about
Speaker 3: the backups getting signed first, I think that a lot
Speaker 3: of them, a lot of teams are trying to find
Speaker 3: their next Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold. These guys who went
Speaker 3: to a terrible situation as a rookie and then found
Speaker 3: themselves in a better situation and were able to succeed
Speaker 3: and thrive. And so yeah, it's very interesting when you
Speaker 3: talk about someone like Mason Rudolph who signed before Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 3: and y'all know my thoughts on this, dude, I've told
Speaker 3: you before, Aaron Rodgers. Hey, bro, you got a seat
Speaker 3: on Southern Fried Sports. Anytime you want to come, you
Speaker 3: can come be my co host. Aaron Rodgers. Okay, right here.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna pay you a million dollars like Pat
Speaker 3: McAfee is going to do, but you're more than welcome
Speaker 3: to come spew any nonsense that you want to spew.
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers. I think teams and players, even if he
Speaker 3: does sign with the Giants or the Steelers and Pensman,
Speaker 3: I'm sure you're itching. I see you. Listen. We just
Speaker 3: heard Cam Hayward the other day. He doesn't need a
Speaker 3: darkness retreat. He doesn't need a recruiting pitch. If you
Speaker 3: want to come play for the Steelers, come play for him.
Speaker 3: What are we waiting on? Get the deal done? Stop
Speaker 3: it with your nonsense, dragging it out. Oh like, Aaron
Speaker 3: Rodgers has got to be the biggest drama queen I've
Speaker 3: ever seen in my life. Like, seriously, I've never seen
Speaker 3: anyone more attention hungry than Aaron Rodgers. So yeah, we've
Speaker 3: got Sam Darnold, all these other free agent quarterbacks and everything.
Speaker 3: Really interesting to see what's these teams doing the draft.
Speaker 3: But Aaron Rodgers, man, you're a joke. Your joke.
Speaker 1: Ensman, your thoughts.
Speaker 2: All right, there is I've been looking at this. There
Speaker 2: it's eighty five percent chance Wilson returns to the Steelers.
Speaker 2: Mason is a good pickup because he matured more than
Speaker 2: he did in his first run. So do not pay
Speaker 2: attention to the Mason Rudolph that lost to the Detroit
Speaker 2: Lions and the sloppy game. So do not pay attention
Speaker 2: to that Mason Rolf because he's matured into a better
Speaker 2: caliber football player than what we did. So, Eddie, I
Speaker 2: hope that answers your questions. Aaron Rodgers, you're forty one
Speaker 2: years old. You got out of the dark room. Make
Speaker 2: a decision. Listen to Kame Heyward. If you don't listen
Speaker 2: to them, and if you do, make a decision, Came
Speaker 2: Heyward we'll get you in practice if you do sign,
Speaker 2: because you wasted our time. So that's why I wanted
Speaker 2: to tell Eddie. So that's what's going on.
Speaker 3: Bang bang bang bang.
Speaker 1: All I can say is I'm glad that my team
Speaker 1: isn't waiting for Aaron Rodgers' decision. We've been there, we've
Speaker 1: done that, we moved on, and that's what I'm glad
Speaker 1: we did. Whether he has good years left in him
Speaker 1: or not remains to be seen, and whether he'll get it.
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you. What I'm going to say
Speaker 1: is he could have some good years ahead of him,
Speaker 1: but he needs the very right fit. He needs a
Speaker 1: very good offensive line to protect for him, and then
Speaker 1: he needs a good running back so that there is
Speaker 1: a compliment to his game. Because yes, he can still
Speaker 1: throw the ball, without a doubt, he can still throw
Speaker 1: the ball, But does he have the mobility that he
Speaker 1: once did, have everything that he once did. No, let's
Speaker 1: face it. The only thing I could say about him
Speaker 1: at this point is his knowledge is better, but his body.
Speaker 1: Let's face it. As we all age, there's things we
Speaker 1: can do and things that we can't do the same
Speaker 1: don't cover the same.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you said it, Candy, I can't even do things anymore.
Speaker 2: The cold hates me right well.
Speaker 3: And hey, Candy, may I ask you this?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 3: So Tom Brady he played well into his forties.
Speaker 2: He conditioned himself better.
Speaker 3: Exactly what my question was about to be defending precisely
Speaker 3: that do we really believe for one moment that Aaron
Speaker 3: Rodgers is in near the shape that Tom Brady was?
Speaker 3: I mean, let's be honest. Aaron Rodgers is forty. I'm
Speaker 3: a man, I'm forty one. I mean he's yeah, that
Speaker 3: was old van Gundy. But do we really believe though
Speaker 3: that Aaron Rodgers could I just don't think he has
Speaker 3: that Tom Brady level. I mean, what about Lebron James
Speaker 3: at forty? I mean, do we really think Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 3: is in near the shape of either of these guys
Speaker 3: going to Egypt and riding on camels and going to
Speaker 3: darkness retreats? I mean, what, Bro, if you want to
Speaker 3: go to jail, just go rob a bank like baby
Speaker 3: who puts themselves in jail, come one?
Speaker 1: But who wants to go out on a Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame career like he did? And that's probably the only
Speaker 1: thing that brings him back that, honestly to me, is
Speaker 1: what I think would bring him back. But the one
Speaker 1: thing I will say, Brady moved from a up North
Speaker 1: team to a South team, a team that plays more
Speaker 1: in the warmth and is easier for your body to
Speaker 1: recover in things as opposed to playing up in the
Speaker 1: brutal cold of New York or Green Bay. So do
Speaker 1: we think Rogers would go to Minnesota? No, come on,
Speaker 1: Giant Giants again, those are all really cold teams. You
Speaker 1: play half your games in the cold? Is that something?
Speaker 1: That's not what Brady did. Brady moved down and played
Speaker 1: for Tampa Bay, a team that plays in a lot
Speaker 1: better weather for half their games.
Speaker 2: That has to be Pittsburgh is very Pittsburgh is just
Speaker 2: as cold as New York. Though, So if he gets
Speaker 2: hit and slammed around in the ground, you must well
Speaker 2: go to the don't take this offensive, JD. Must both
Speaker 2: go to Carolina and play from much there.
Speaker 3: Honestly, I thought you were gonna say, you might as
Speaker 3: well just go down to Florida. Well that's what that's
Speaker 3: what everybody else from the North does. Anyway, They just
Speaker 3: go down to Florida, right, can he?
Speaker 1: It depends on so it depends. So Brady made the
Speaker 1: wrong move. I'll be honest with you. Normally, people that
Speaker 1: live on I ninety five stay on the ninety five
Speaker 1: south side of Florida and people that live in the
Speaker 1: Midwest go down the seventy five side of Florida. So
Speaker 1: Brady should have played for either Jacksonville or Miami, but
Speaker 1: he he jumped chips on the other side of the state.
Speaker 1: So I don't see Rogers in Miami, I don't see
Speaker 1: him in Jacksonville, and I don't see him in Tampa Vice.
Speaker 2: Since Eddie's still here, I got a couple things I
Speaker 2: want to talk to Eddie about. That's not it. But
Speaker 2: Mason did have good moments as a Pittsburgh Steeler did
Speaker 2: have good moments. He did take us to a three,
Speaker 2: four or five whatever game it was into the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Had lost. That's our thing. We're losing the first round.
Speaker 2: But Mason Rudolf did have that little stretch and get
Speaker 2: us there. Another thing is Aaron Rodgers is forty one
Speaker 2: years old. Why is the Pittsburgh Steelers concentrating on old people.
Speaker 2: We need to work younger and that way we can
Speaker 2: get a quarterback for twenty years or eighteen years or whatever.
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is only gonna sign a one or two
Speaker 2: year deal, go out in the sunset. We don't need that.
Speaker 2: We just got done with Russell Wilson. He did not
Speaker 2: do good the last five weeks. We just got to
Speaker 2: get young.
Speaker 1: Is Tomlin the coach that's gonna coach a young guy
Speaker 1: and bring him up? Does he have the time to
Speaker 1: bring a young quarterback up? Or is his time in
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh numbered because he hasn't done well in the playoffs
Speaker 1: and therefore they need to bring in somebody that's proven already.
Speaker 3: Right, I agree completely. And here's the one thing I'll say.
Speaker 3: This is where you start getting really into the critical
Speaker 3: thinking of sports decisions, Because wasn't the whole plan for
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson to be a bridge quarterback to Justin Fields.
Speaker 3: Wasn't that to me? Like, if you're signing an old
Speaker 3: guy like we're talking about Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, the vikings
Speaker 3: to Eddie's point maybe would have made sense.
Speaker 2: You agree, You guys are forgetting about the injury of
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson. Though Russell Wilson was posted, but Russell Wilson
Speaker 2: got injured in preseason. That's what he started. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well here's another thing too. I've heard that Justin Fields
Speaker 3: has some kind of epilepsy medicine that he got put on,
Speaker 3: and it slows down his ability to make plays and
Speaker 3: decisions in the pocket because of this epilepsy medicine he's on.
Speaker 3: So I mean, but that's where I like I was saying, though,
Speaker 3: it's whole critical thinking that Like, to me, it's fans
Speaker 3: when you want us to pay billions of dollars for
Speaker 3: a stadium, like we've talked about, when you start having
Speaker 3: people in taxpayers, I think it's perfectly okay to question
Speaker 3: the plan of what these teams are. And I think
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh absolutely missed their plan here with Russell, Like Russell
Speaker 3: Wilson for a year, Justin Fields is supposed to be
Speaker 3: your starter this year? Yeah, he started six games. Last year,
Speaker 3: he started numerous games for the Bears. Didn't I just
Speaker 3: mention these third year, fourth year quarterbacks who had a
Speaker 3: terrible start out place like Justin Fields with the Bears,
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden they turn into gold
Speaker 3: Like I think the Steelers just made a critical error
Speaker 3: in their critical planning for their future.
Speaker 5: Brian thoughts, My thoughts hmmmmm, Yeah, I just saw that. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it's gotten confusing about what I was just trying to
Speaker 5: look up, you know, some of the things on Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4: But it is what it is.
Speaker 5: You know, if he goes there, it's gonna be a whirlwind.
Speaker 5: It depends on where he wants to go. And my
Speaker 5: thing is, can Aaron Rodgers actually help a new quarterback
Speaker 5: or is he going to be stuck in his fine ways?
Speaker 5: I don't want to really, it's my way of doing it.
Speaker 5: Is gonna run over the team like he did last
Speaker 5: year for the Jets.
Speaker 4: Is he going to be that.
Speaker 3: He wouldn't do it. That's that's the whole other issue.
Speaker 1: I mean, he he has said before that that's not
Speaker 1: his job exactly.
Speaker 2: Eddie's the man. I'll tell you Eddie's because it's another quarterback.
Speaker 2: I've been talking about the court for Oh how well
Speaker 2: the court is the ben Eddie. You're awesome, dude, I'm
Speaker 2: telling you.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was about to comment Eddie I think might
Speaker 3: be one of the smartest commentators that we have. I mean,
Speaker 3: he because he even he nailed it there he said
Speaker 3: bring back Wilson or draft Jackson dark Honestly, I thought
Speaker 3: the Steelers already had Russell Wilson this year.
Speaker 2: I thought that he's still on the roster, but they
Speaker 2: give him permission. Don't know why to go to another team.
Speaker 2: That's why he had interviews with Cleveland and New York
Speaker 2: last week.
Speaker 5: Hey, Jeddy, who's that quarterback that they were talking Did
Speaker 5: you listen to the Rich Heisman Show today?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Who was that quarterback that they've been talking about? Goof
Speaker 5: the one that was, Oh goodness that they interviewed the
Speaker 5: other day that they would take. I would look out
Speaker 5: for that guy for being a quarterback in the first
Speaker 5: or second round.
Speaker 3: About Jackson Dirt, No, No, I missed that part of
Speaker 3: the show.
Speaker 5: No, there's a quarterback that's in the draft that saying
Speaker 5: that he's actually pretty good guy. Oh draft, But I
Speaker 5: can't think of his name.
Speaker 3: Now, Why don't you say you've got cam words to door,
Speaker 3: Jackson Dark, Kyle McCord. I mean, who else? Who else
Speaker 3: do we have? Can't?
Speaker 1: I mean those are the ones that I would think.
Speaker 1: I mean, uh.
Speaker 3: Me, I'm not I'm not doing I'm not doing it.
Speaker 3: If I'm an NFL team, I'm just I'm not. We
Speaker 3: see way too many number one picks fall flat on
Speaker 3: their face, like I'd rather take a guy in the
Speaker 3: second third round, let him sit for two or three years.
Speaker 3: I mean, everybody forgets Patrick Mahomes sat for a year.
Speaker 3: Everybody forgets that he didn't just come in and light
Speaker 3: the league on fire. He was a second string quarterback
Speaker 3: for a full year. Jordan Love, I mean, how often
Speaker 3: do we.
Speaker 2: Give quarterback in Louisville? But that's very talented. But Inrey
Speaker 2: Pohne is that the Is that the guy Brian what's
Speaker 2: his name?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's some quarterback from Louisville.
Speaker 3: Told on I can tell you then.
Speaker 4: Because I can't think of it.
Speaker 1: There's Sanders. They say Jackson Dart, Then they say Jalen Milroe,
Speaker 1: Will Howard.
Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, Jalen Jalen Milroy did go up
Speaker 2: on a Tom took Milroy to her. We might be
Speaker 2: drafting him. My mind is drawing a blank, says Eddie.
Speaker 3: I'm not taking a left handed quarterback though, either.
Speaker 2: What do you have against Vic? Vic had good numbers.
Speaker 3: I didn't have nothing against Vic. I just said I'm
Speaker 3: not taking a left handed quarterback. We all saw Shane
Speaker 3: Falco and replacements. Man he he was a left handed quarterback.
Speaker 3: He wasn't any good.
Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with left handed quarterbacks because they can
Speaker 2: confuse you too. Don't look at me like that.
Speaker 3: Boy. There is one good left handed quarterback that I
Speaker 3: can think of off the top of my head, Steve Yo.
Speaker 3: Michael Vick. Okay, Michael. But Michael Vick wasn't a passer,
Speaker 3: so the fact that he threw with his left arm
Speaker 3: really doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 6: He ran with I'm not an Eagles fan, but to
Speaker 6: Sean Jackson, he was a wire. Eddy Eddie, I did
Speaker 6: you Tyler?
Speaker 3: Eddy?
Speaker 2: Tyler helped me out here.
Speaker 5: It might have beens, it might be yeah, that's Sam
Speaker 5: Tyler or something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: He actually began his college career at the Oregon Ducks
Speaker 1: from twenty eighteen to twenty and then he transferred to
Speaker 1: Texas Tech where he played twenty one to twenty three.
Speaker 1: And he's with Louisville right now, twenty four Eagles fan.
Speaker 2: But he had all those memories in there, and he
Speaker 2: went to Pittsburgh and he had and he won huge
Speaker 2: games against them too. You're thinking of the Lanta because
Speaker 2: you're your Southern boys, so you're thinking of the Land
Speaker 2: of Michael Vick. You can't think of the land of
Speaker 2: Michael Vick. You gotta think of the the Northern Michael Vick,
Speaker 2: not the Southern Michael Vick.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, the only difference was the Southern Michael Vick
Speaker 3: fought a bunch of bulldogs.
Speaker 2: But we're not talking about that. We're talking about his throwing.
Speaker 4: I know you don't have arm.
Speaker 3: He think rookie he threw better for the Eagles, and
Speaker 3: yet I mean, dude could hum the football.
Speaker 2: He doesn't have any in Atlanta.
Speaker 3: But what I'm saying, though, is you don't ever think
Speaker 3: of Michael Vick and his arm talent. That's what I
Speaker 3: mean about left handed throwing quarterbacks.
Speaker 5: You think about the run. When he's on the run. Yeah,
Speaker 5: he can run and then he can throw on the
Speaker 5: past what he needed to.
Speaker 4: But he does.
Speaker 5: He did have an accurate arm. What I saw when
Speaker 5: he was down here in Atlanta.
Speaker 3: He's fired Tyler Tyler's show, by the way, or how
Speaker 3: do you pronounce that, candy? How do you pronounce that?
Speaker 1: I think it was shuck because I think I saw
Speaker 1: the pronunciation. It was like shuck, it's s h u
Speaker 1: c k is how.
Speaker 3: It's Yeah, he's sixty five twenty five.
Speaker 2: Though I'm not talking about football. I'm not talking fumbles,
Speaker 2: I'm not talking about the run. I'm talking about the
Speaker 2: philosophy of the ball in the air. And that's what
Speaker 2: I think. That's where Gd's going. He had a perfect
Speaker 2: dart to every wide receiver he threw to. If the
Speaker 2: wide receiver was open, was there short windows probably could
Speaker 2: have made it better.

Speaker 3: watch every single game, every single play. And guys, anybody
Speaker 3: that says that Paul Menary should already be fired as
Speaker 3: the head coach of the Game Cocks is absolutely out
Speaker 3: of their mind. Okay, he inherited a dumpster fire from Paulmonary.
Speaker 3: And yes, they had an Oklahoma rubber match. They lost,
Speaker 3: they went to extra innings, they played well. But at
Speaker 3: this point, just let's give Paulmonary a year, y'all. Well,

Speaker 1: to Wisconsin women's hockey. They are in the final Frozen
Speaker 1: Four this weekend. Yeah, this is their sixteenth time in
Speaker 1: the last nineteen years that they are in the Frozen Four.
Speaker 1: They are boasting by far the highest scoring team in
Speaker 1: the country and the artists to score against. All three
Speaker 1: of the finalists for Player of the Year the Patsy
Speaker 1: Cosmier Award are all Wisconsin Badgers. So a Wisconsin Badger
Speaker 1: is gonna win that award, and their coach is doing
Speaker 1: awesome things. And if you don't know anything about their coach,
Speaker 1: their coach is Mark Johnson, who was in his twenty
Speaker 1: second year at his alma mater. He helped win the
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy seven national championship in men's hockey before playing
Speaker 1: for the Miracle on Ice team for the US at
Speaker 1: the nineteen to eighty Lake Placid Olympics. So good luck
