They're high on the moves that they made this offseason.

00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:13.119
A lot most people do not think they're going to be a play-in team this year.

00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:13.919
Well, they are.

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:16.079

00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:07.280
What are we doing?

00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:08.560
Talking about some NBA.

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:09.680
Yeah, season's coming up.

00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:10.560
NBA, okay.

00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:13.359
And NBA's coming up, and then we're going to get into the NFL.

00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:17.280
We got a special segment with uh Miles McCaleb, star quarterback of Clinton.

00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:17.439
Yeah.

00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:18.640
Clinton Dark Horses.

00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:20.480
Just threw five TDs last night.

00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:21.920
So we're excited about that.

00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:23.920
Yeah, big time, big time.

00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:27.439
And uh man, we're gonna close it out with uh our man Johnny O.

00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:30.640
Yes, yes, Johnny O in the building, man.

00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:31.280
Yes, yes.

00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:35.280
He's the author of Whole Shots, the big motocross uh podcast.

00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:38.239
And you you're repping uh motocross there with your hat.

00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:40.959
You have any idea who that is?

00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.719
Uh well yeah, Jack Lawrence, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:46.000
Yeah.

00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:48.879
All right, cool.

00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:49.599
That's right.

00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:50.400
He's number one.

00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:51.840
So you're wearing the right hat, man.

00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:52.879
Wearing the right hat.

00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:53.280
All right.

00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:54.400
Well, let's get into it, man.

00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:55.439
Let's not waste any time.

00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:58.159
Let's get into your NBA rankings.

00:01:58.239 --> 00:01:59.519
You've got East and West.

00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:02.239
Give us uh 10 through one for the East here.

00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:03.439
How are things gonna play out this year?

00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:06.319
All right, so East is obviously the weaker, weaker conference.

00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:10.560
So, you know, things can really shake up either way, but this is just how I'm gonna how I'm gonna go at it here.

00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:13.039
So, number 10, I got the Indiana Pacers.

00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:17.599
I know they're gonna be out without Halliburton and and Miles Turner just left, but they still got a good team.

00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:24.080
They got Siakum, they got you know um some other people, Nemhard, and um, yeah, they got some good pieces.

00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:24.400
Okay.

00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:26.000
I I think 10's a little low, man.

00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:27.680
That that's a little disrespectful.

00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:31.120
Well, nah, I mean they shouldn't have been made made the playoffs last year.

00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:32.800
What?

00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:36.000
They so they they went to a game seven last year.

00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:37.280
Oh, all that's luck.

00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:38.159
Oh, that's luck.

00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:40.000
Dang, that that's that's a lot of luck.

00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:42.400
Yes, it is a lot of luck, but it's it's possible.

00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:43.039
Okay.

00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:47.680
So so with no Halley, no Halley Burton, they're gonna fall all the way to 10.

00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:48.400
Yes.

00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:49.039
Wow.

00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:49.680
Yes.

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.800
That's probably the most homes I'm in out of all these pictures.

00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:53.360
Really?

00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:53.840
Okay, all right.

00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:55.919
We're gonna have to come, we're gonna rewind the tape on this one.

00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:57.599
We're gonna have to check this one out later.

00:02:57.759 --> 00:02:58.319
Okay, all right.

00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:00.800
Let me net lot stop your flow here.

00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:01.439
Go ahead.

00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:01.919
All right.

00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:03.599
Number nine, I got the heat.

00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:04.080
Okay.

00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.680
Um, you know, they're always in the mix, always around that play-in spot.

00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.319
So they're a little safe a safe uh spot right there.

00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:11.439
Yeah, I think that's a good pick.

00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:12.000
All right.

00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:13.840
Number number eight, I got the Hawks.

00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:15.599
You know, we got Trey Young.

00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:20.639
Um, you know, Sora basically just like the Heat always in that like seven to ten spot.

00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:22.319
So play in Atlanta Hawks.

00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:25.919
Play in Atlanta Hawks always have a game in Atlanta around that time.

00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:28.319
Now, a lot of people though have them high this year.

00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:30.560
They're high on the moves that they made this offseason.

00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:34.000
A lot most people do not think they're gonna be a play-in team this year.

00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.439
Well, they are, so they're gonna be back where they always are.

00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:38.000
Okay.

00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:40.560
Number seven, I got the Boston Celtics.

00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:43.599
Uh no Tatum this year, but they still have a really good team.

00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:48.400
They have Brown, Derek White, um, all the other pieces of that team, championship experience.

00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:48.639
Okay.

00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.759
So yeah, they're always gonna be in the mix with or without Tatum.

00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:52.159
Okay.

00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:56.159
And uh number six, I got the Milwaukee Bucks, you know, Giannis, obviously.

00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:59.039
Uh Miles Turner, the addition at center.

00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:00.479
Um, yeah.

00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:05.439
I mean, and not really much else, but they they do have Giannis, so that's that should get them at least in the playoffs.

00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:07.599
Yeah, it should get them in, at least that's not playing.

00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.560
Still feels maybe a little low for the Bucks.

00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:10.960
No.

00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:12.479
With the moves they made, okay.

00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:14.879
What moves do they make outside of Miles Turner?

00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:16.079
Yeah, Miles Turner.

00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:22.879
You've got uh the Greek freak who's uh you know still a top five player in the NBA in a very weak East.

00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.439
Uh I think most people might have them a little higher than that, man.

00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:27.680
Nah, nah, they need a little more to get up there.

00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:28.160
A little more.

00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:28.720
All right.

00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:30.319
Number five, this might shock people.

00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:32.399
I have the Philadelphia 76ers.

00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:38.079
I know Jared McCain just got hurt in training camp, but he's only gonna miss like the first week or two of the season.

00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.639
So that shouldn't make that big of a difference right there.

00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:45.439
And then they got VJ Edgecombs really uh kind of he's gonna get more playing time in that spot.

00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:46.560
Joel Embiid.

00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:52.240
I think I think they're due for a healthy year, actually, because last year they had luck didn't go their way.

00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:59.519
And you know, they hopefully get some chemistry with Embiid, and B looking to prove himself again, and you know, Paul George, all the other pieces on that team.

00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:00.319
Podcast P.

00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:00.639
All right.

00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:01.759
Podcast P and all that.

00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:02.480
We're gonna see.

00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:04.399
Number four, I got the magic.

00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:06.240
Um I like the moves they made this year.

00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:09.680
And they're they're a young team, and young teams usually do well in the regular season.

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:19.279
And they're they're really bad at shooting, and they got they got like Desmond Bain Bane that uh is a sharp shooter, so that should help them out a lot, and I think that's gonna catapult them to the next level.

00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:24.000
They had the loudest bro clap ever when they uh embraced when he came onto the season.

00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:24.480
Oh, yeah.

00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:25.600
Yeah, when he joined the team.

00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:27.040
Yeah, they got the record for that.

00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:27.680
Yeah, yeah.

00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:32.079
They might have might have gave up a few too many first round picks, but it should be good for this year.

00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:32.399
All right.

00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:34.560
Number three, I got the Detroit Pistons.

00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:36.560
I had a great year last year.

00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:37.839
Detroit?

00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:40.800
Yeah, number number five in the East last year.

00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:45.920
But and with the with with the East being a little weaker, they're gonna step it up and get into that top three.

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:46.160
Okay.

00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:47.519
Cade Cunningham and all of them.

00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:48.399
Detroit Pistons.

00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:50.639
Number two, got the New York Knicks, you know.

00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.040
They got Jalen Brunson, you know, the crew.

00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:57.839
And uh I don't I don't think they're gonna get worn out in the regular season like they did under Tom Thibodeau.

00:05:58.240 --> 00:05:59.920
Because now they got better coaching there.

00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:04.399
I think he's gonna be more cautious of their minutes and getting Jalen Brunson healthy for the playoffs.

00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:07.600
So I think that that's gonna help them play better in the regular season as well.

00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:08.160
I like that.

00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:08.879
And number one, I got it.

00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:11.439
Number one, I got the Cleveland Cavaliers.

00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:13.519
You know, they were number one in the East last year.

00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:14.079
I like that.

00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.560
Uh they lost the Pacers because of injuries.

00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:18.720
Their whole starting five was injured.

00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:22.160
And it's another reason why the Pacers shouldn't have made it as far as they did.

00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:22.639
Okay.

00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:25.040
But um, yeah, and I think they're gonna be back.

00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:28.800
They're gonna look to prove people that last year wasn't a fluke and they're gonna be ready to go.

00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:29.199
Okay.

00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:30.000
I I like that.

00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:31.600
Yeah, I like Cavs one.

00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:32.959
I like Knicks too.

00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:34.079
I like Detroit Pitts.

00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:34.959
I like your top three.

00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:39.040
I think your bottom seven's a little you know, I I would disagree with some of that.

00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:41.199
The addition of Lonzo Ball, I think, is big too.

00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:42.399
Yes, that's gonna be big.

00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:42.959
I think that was a good thing.

00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:46.959
He's not gonna have to play a bunch of minutes, and he's gonna fit in really good.

00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.040
Yeah, hopefully he can stay healthy.

00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:50.639
That's always the thing with him.

00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:52.959
But uh yeah, I I love what the Cavs have done.

00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:53.439
Okay.

00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:54.000
All right.

00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:55.439
Now, ooh, the tough.

00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:56.480
The big bad West.

00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:57.519
Yeah, the West.

00:06:57.759 --> 00:06:58.800
This is what we have here.

00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:01.439
So number 10, there's many good teams in the West.

00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.399
Number 10, I have the Grizzlies, the Memphis Grizzlies.

00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:08.639
Um, they got Ja Morant and Jaron Jackson Jr., they lost Desmond Bain.

00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:13.439
But um, they still have uh a few good players in that team that I think can get them into the play in.

00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:13.680
Okay.

00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:19.439
Number nine, I have the San Antonio Spurs, uh, Victor Wimbenyama, uh, getting ready for year three.

00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:20.639
Hopefully he stays healthy.

00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:22.319
And you know, they got a lot of young pieces.

00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:26.079
They got De'Aaron Fox, Stefan Castle, uh Dylan Harper.

00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:29.120
So a lot of a lot of guards, a lot of guard play, though.

00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:34.240
Look to get Wemby the ball and uh also just space out the floor and shoot threes.

00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:38.000
So I think they they got a really good roster down there, really good young roster.

00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:40.399
Number eight, I got the Dallas Mavericks.

00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:45.040
Um they got they're actually a really good team this year.

00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:49.519
They got Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, Cooper Flag, PJ Washington.

00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:54.160
Like that, they got they even got D'Angelo Russell who's gonna take Kyrie's place while he's out.

00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:56.399
So why are they since they're so good?

00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:57.839
Because the West is stacked.

00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.519
And Kyrie's not coming back until probably like around Christmas time.

00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:05.439
So that's and two to the in the West, every game counts.

00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.920
Like that's just what gets the Warriors into trouble because they're such an old team that they you know take.

00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:10.879
Right, you know.

00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:21.519
Man, I tell you though, the the map, Kyrie, yeah, he's coming back from the ACL, but the moves I see him making all in practice, like, man, he looks like he can play now.

00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:22.639
Well practice.

00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:26.639
Looks like prime Michael Jordan in practice.

00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:27.040
True.

00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:27.920
Yeah, yeah.

00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.399
So yeah, the talent, the talent level is insane.

00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:31.120
It's crazy.

00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:31.839
Okay, all right.

00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:33.039
So I got them at eight right now.

00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:35.440
Hopefully, Cooper Flying will get better throughout the season, too.

00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:37.679
So I think their record's gonna get better throughout the year.

00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:37.919
Okay.

00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:40.240
Number seven, I got the Golden State Warriors.

00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:48.000
Um, I I they weren't making any moves towards the um in the mid in the offseason, then they just made all their moves this past week.

00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:49.440
But I like what they did.

00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:55.279
You know, they got Al Horfer, got a center, they got um Seth Curry, uh, got the chemistry with Steph.

00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:55.919
I like that.

00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:57.600
And you know, another sharp shooter.

00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:01.600
I re-signed Kaminga, you know, just re-signed Gary Payton.

00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:03.919
You know, I like like the moves they made, made some solid moves.

00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:13.679
I like all those moves, but I if we weren't sitting here on set, I would have ran out that door right now because everybody knows how you are about your Golden State Warriors.

00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:20.639
Nah, but see, I'm being more of a realist with them this year because I know that the the regular season is a is a young, young team's game, right?

00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:23.519
And the old team and they had the Warriors have a lot of talent.

00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:26.639
Okay, a lot of good pieces, and they could have made the finals last year.

00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:26.960
Yeah.

00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:36.960
Well, but Steph Curry got hurt, and that that that could be used as an excuse, but that could also be used as like something that can happen because they're an old team, like they're really old.

00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:41.440
So like they people can get hurt throughout the year, and that can impact their record.

00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:42.639
So I just don't trust them.

00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:44.639
So they're gonna be a play-in team.

00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:47.679
Yes, talent talent-wise, I think they're much better than that.

00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:53.679
But um, with just with the way their roster is structured, I don't I just don't believe they're gonna stay healthy all year.

00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:54.000
Okay.

00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:54.639
All right.

00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.080
And yeah, number six, I got the Lakers, the LA Lakers.

00:09:58.240 --> 00:09:58.480
Oof.

00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:04.320
Yeah, with LeBron, LeBron and Luca, and they they got DeAndre and they got the center, but I don't know.

00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:06.159
I just don't I don't I don't trust them.

00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:07.120
I just I just don't.

00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:08.399
Ah, you don't, but okay.

00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:13.840
They we they got swept by the um well and the gentleman swept, my bad, by the T-Wolves.

00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:15.120
They did?

00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:16.720
I I just can't unsee that, man.

00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:18.799
Like that is bad.

00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:20.240
That is that is true.

00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:25.440
They got gentlemen swept by the T-Wolves, who then what happened to them after that, they fell apart.

00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:27.919
But let's think about this for a second.

00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.200
So Luca has clearly been drinking pure green.

00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:32.320
Yeah, all right, yeah.

00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:37.519
He has been drinking pure green, but he's doing the same slow moves he was doing before.

00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:39.840
So it's not like he's got he's any faster.

00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:43.279
Yeah, he yeah, he's but that that that's his game though.

00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:53.279
But at least he should be, since he is drinking pure green, shout out to uh our sponsor, um he should be uh, you know, at least he'll be more uh durable this year.

00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:58.240
So shouldn't have the calf injury, shouldn't have those other injuries that hinder him throughout the season.

00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:05.600
Yeah, but uh and then LeBron, you know, LeBron going into the Jordan year, 23rd year in the NBA, you know, you got him and whatnot.

00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:08.320
So uh I I see the slight eye roll there.

00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:09.759
Nice, you know.

00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:10.960
Young man's game, I'm telling you.

00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:13.120
Not not a young team.

00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:14.960
Well, what's up with LeBron's injury?

00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:16.559
He's always gonna have injuries.

00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:17.600
He's 40 years old.

00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:18.960
That's what's gonna happen.

00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:20.799
But it's like curry.

00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:21.759
It's like curry.

00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:27.120
Okay, well, hey, watch it now, because I'm I I'm in my 40s and and and I don't I don't have injuries.

00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:28.159
You know what I'm saying?

00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:30.080
But that that's just not about me.

00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:32.159
All right, so let's talk about LeBron.

00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:35.840
So the injury though, uh the injury was to the glute, I believe.

00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:38.639
I believe it was nerve damage in the glute.

00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.120
That definitely seems like an old man injury.

00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:41.679
Yeah, right there.

00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:42.159
Very much.

00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:43.039
Yeah, okay.

00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:43.759
That's interesting.

00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.159
I just I I never heard of that injury before.

00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:53.919
That's kind of, but when you set the when you set the barrier for how many years you play in the league, I guess that opens it up for new injuries that we have not heard of.

00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:56.799
A lot of these old teams, they can make playoff runs.

00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:01.919
Like they if they can they play their cards right, they can stay healthy in playoffs and make runs.

00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:02.720
All right, okay.

00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:05.519
Anyways, number five, I got the LA Clippers.

00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:09.360
Another older team, but they did make great moves in the offseason, though.

00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:11.279
Chris Paul was a great move.

00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:15.840
Um they got Bradley Beal, who he's not the same, but he still can contribute to the move.

00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:16.559
That's a good move.

00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:16.879
Uh-huh.

00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:17.600
You know, yeah.

00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:19.039
So I like I like those moves.

00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:20.399
Got a healthy Kawhi.

00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:21.440
You know.

00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:22.000
Yeah.

00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:22.480
Okay.

00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:23.200
Do they?

00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:25.120
Maybe not.

00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:26.799
I mean, you never really know.

00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:28.960
But uh he's on the team.

00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:29.600
He's on the rocks.

00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:30.480
He is on the team.

00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:31.360
He is on the team.

00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:33.360
So he's like, Yeah, we'll see we'll see what happens with them.

00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:33.840
But yeah.

00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:36.399
Did they find another sponsorship deal for Kawhi?

00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:38.480
We all know about Kawaii.

00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:39.600
We don't know about that.

00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:40.879
Okay, all right, we'll see.

00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:41.519
All right.

00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:42.559
Who's your number four?

00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:44.399
Number four, I got the Houston Rockets.

00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:44.799
All right.

00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:46.799
KD coming in, coming to town.

00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:52.480
Uh drained a bit of the youth from the Rockets, but but hey, you know, they're they're still a good team.

00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:54.000
Yeah, still a good team.

00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:57.200
Yeah, Jalen Green not there anymore, but they do got Shingoon.

00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:00.240
You know, no, no, Fred Vend really, I think, was a big hit.

00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:02.240
He was about to be big, big part of the team.

00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:03.919
But that that injury hurt.

00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:04.080
Yeah.

00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:07.440
That injury hurt, and that also made me wonder.

00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.519
I'm like, man, every time KD goes somewhere, somebody get hurt.

00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:14.159
I'm like, man, he just cannot catch a break.

00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:15.840
You know, like man, clear.

00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:17.519
Yeah, that's really true.

00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:18.080
Yeah.

00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:18.480
Yeah.

00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:21.440
You look at the Brooklyn Nets, you look at the Phoenix Suns everywhere.

00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:24.559
That it's either him or some main player on the team.

00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:25.440
Something happens.

00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:26.320
I think about that.

00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:29.120
Number three got the Denver Nuggets.

00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:31.039
Um, this is a team that I think could win it all.

00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:31.679
They're gonna be down.

00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:38.080
They really could, but um, yeah, the team that do have ahead of them I think will play well in the more better in the regular season.

00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:44.080
But the Nuggets, they got Tim Hardaway Jr., they trade, they finally trade Michael Porter Jr.

00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:46.559
to get chucking all them threes.

00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:46.799
Yeah.

00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:50.720
Cam Johnson in, who's more of a you know, roll a role player, team player.

00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:51.120
Yes.

00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:54.879
And uh Jonas Falanciunis to back up uh Nicole Jokic.

00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:57.600
And I believe there's some there's some other moves I'm missing.

00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:03.600
But and also just with Jokic and Jamal Murray, like those two have championship experience, they're gonna get you far.

00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:08.639
I I love the moves that they made, but what was weird to me about Michael Porter Jr.

00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:11.120
was he'd have this huge bandage on his shoulder.

00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:11.679
Yeah.

00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:16.159
All pregame, they talk about man, he can't lift his, he can't lift his arm above his head.

00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:18.000
He can't lift his arm above his head.

00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:19.759
He's gutting it out, he's gutting it out.

00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:21.440
But then he's shooting three pointers in the game.

00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:24.720
You don't have enough to get it for that.

00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:26.320
Your arm just went above your head.

00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:28.720
So that I was just always confused by that.

00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:30.320
Yeah, it wasn't that confusing.

00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:30.639
All right.

00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:32.320
Number two, I got the T-Wolves.

00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:37.759
Uh Minnesota Timberwolves, Anthony Edwards have another great regular season.

00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:43.600
Uh no, they they did have last year, I believe they had the best draft in the NBA.

00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.480
They got uh Terrence Shannon Jr.

00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:47.840
and uh Rob Dillingham.

00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:51.440
And I think those two players are gonna be very impactful, especially this year.

00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:51.679
Right.

00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:57.120
Because with Mike Connolly getting older, I think Dillingham's gonna kind of be able to take a few reps off him in the regular season.

00:14:57.279 --> 00:14:57.360
Yes.

00:14:57.600 --> 00:14:59.120
Terrence Shannon Shannon Jr.

00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:02.720
looked good in the playoffs when he got the chance, and I think he's gonna get more minutes.

00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:10.000
And uh yeah, just with the other pieces they have McDaniels, Gobert, you know, uh yeah, and all them, yeah, they're gonna have a good year.

00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:14.480
Okay, the Thunder, obviously, and the reigning champs, I think they're gonna win it again this year.

00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:20.080
But um, yeah, just not really much to say, but they're just the same, same old champs.

00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:25.279
So you have you have the um okay, see, let's just cut to it as far as the championship.

00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:27.200
You got the Thunder winning the championship this year?

00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:29.120
Wow, okay, okay.

00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:30.879
I I actually agree with you on that.

00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:31.120
Yeah.

00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:35.600
I think when I look at the landscape of the NBA, I I see the Cavs going far.

00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:37.440
The Knicks are gonna be strong.

00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:40.799
Um, the West is loaded, you know, what's my matchup?

00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:42.639
Thunder versus Cavs in the finals.

00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:42.960
Okay.

00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:44.159
Yeah, Thunder winning it.

00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:52.399
But I'm kind of surprised though, because normally with your Warriors, if there's any chance they could get there, you normally go that way.

00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:54.960
I'm surprised you're not picking them to go to the finals this year.

00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:57.600
Last year drained all the hope out for me.

00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:05.360
Because like when and watching them watching them beat the Timberwolves in game one, Curry was Curry was going crazy.

00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:05.600
Yeah.

00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:07.279
I was like, we might, this might be our year.

00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:11.200
Then he's grabbing his hamstring, hobbling off the court.

00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:12.159
It was looking good.

00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:13.120
It was looking good.

00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:14.559
They they need Jeremiah, man.

00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:15.519
You know what I'm saying?

00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:17.039
Yeah, yes.

00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:25.840
Yeah, so that that seeing that happen to him and then seeing the Thunder just totally blow out the nuggets in that game set and then go on to win it.

00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:29.679
That just showed me that was really kind of a new age and at the old old edge kind of.

00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:35.600
And for the Thunder to do that, and people still don't really realize just how hurt uh Jalen was.

00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:39.679
Yeah, he was banged up in the in the um in the playoffs.

00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:42.480
Hrist, yeah, like he had surgery on his wrist.

00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:43.279
Surgery, right?

00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:48.720
He needed yeah, it's like if if it wasn't the um playoffs, he probably would have missed the a lot of time.

00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:50.000
Yeah, if you need surgery.

00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:51.759
And they still pulled it out with that.

00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:53.919
So I think that that definitely shows a lot.

00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:59.039
He's about to he's gonna be healthy, healthy wrists, he's about to go crazy.

00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:09.279
So we're not gonna fully go down this rabbit hole, but I do have to ask though, because so we've seen everyone here has witnessed the um hope get drained out of you on your Golden State Warriors.

00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:09.519
Yeah.

00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:11.759
So that's very interesting to us all.

00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:14.880
So y'all probably know where I'm going.

00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:19.920
When is the hope gonna get drained out of you about your Carolina Panthers?

00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:22.079
Um, it's it feels pretty.

00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:27.759
Um yeah, it feels pretty drained out right now.

00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:30.079
But I mean, obviously things can happen.

00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.640
You know, uh if we get one big win, things might things may or may not change.

00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:37.440
Things might may or might may not change with the Warriors.

00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:38.640
That's just how I am.

00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:44.160
But, you know, yeah, Ras of right now, I'm I'm kind of losing a little hope on Bryce.

00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:48.720
I don't know if he's the guy, but yeah, that things can obviously change.

00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:52.160
Because Bryce, you know, he'll sometimes he'll play bad, sometimes he'll play good.

00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:53.680
Yeah, you should never know.

00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:55.119
So I think you know what?

00:17:55.200 --> 00:18:00.000
I'll I'm gonna have to call cap on you, on the uh Warriors in the playoffs.

00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:03.519
You're you're you're pulling a Chris, you're pulling a C-Paint on me.

00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:13.279
You say that now, but I think we all know when the playoffs come around, and if the Warriors start looking good, I don't think you're gonna be able to help yourself.

00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:18.880
I think we're look if we're actually looking good, chances I might switch back.

00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:20.000
Because we do have Curry.

00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:21.759
Like we we do we do have Steph Curry.

00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:22.559
People are forgetting that.

00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:27.440
We nobody was believing us, and we went into Boston and we beat him six games.

00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:33.519
So, I mean, Steph can if he wants to, he can flip the switch and lead us to the championship.

00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:36.960
Yeah, but yeah, he is old, but I mean he can he can still do it.

00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:39.200
Like he's he's still still that guy.

00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:41.359
Yeah, see, we all we already see you wavering a bit.

00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:42.240
I like that.

00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:43.039
I like that.

00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:52.000
All right, okay, so let's uh quickly before we bring our guy Miles McCaleb on here, talk about these quarterbacks, let's touch on one more thing.

00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:55.839
So with the uh MVP, let's just go MVP.

00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:58.480
Who do you see winning MVP in the NBA this year?

00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:00.160
I'm gonna go with Nicola Jokic.

00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:06.079
Uh he didn't win last year, so when people say he should have won, so he probably makes sure he wins this year.

00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:07.359
So I don't know.

00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:10.880
That's uh not yeah, that that's a good one.

00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:16.559
Um I can see uh Luca, but we say that almost every year, I feel.

00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:17.599
Yeah, it's like obviously.

00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:21.680
He probably he should have there was one he should you should have won like two years ago.

00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:23.440
Yeah, yeah.

00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:24.319
You never know.

00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:25.519
It might be his time though.

00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:26.079
Uh-huh.

00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:27.440
I can I can see it this year.

00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:31.839
Yeah, he's he's slimmer this year, a lot to prove, Lakers.

00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:34.319
Um, he'll have to do a lot on the team.

00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:38.240
So I think the the you know stars are aligned for him to probably do it.

00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:40.079
All right, okay, okay, cool.

00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:43.680
Well, that'll conclude our NBA for today.

00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:46.240
And uh, man, it's time to talk a little NFL.

00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:46.880
You ready for this?

00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:47.519
Yeah, I'm ready.

00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:48.880
All right, we're gonna talk about this.

00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:53.279
And uh to go into NFL, we're gonna go ahead and talk quarterback specifically.

00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:58.240
We're gonna talk about Russ, you know, Arch Manning, Dylan Gabriel, Shador, all those guys.

00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:05.200
Who better than our main man Miles McCaleb, quarterback, star quarterback of the Clinton Dark Horses?

00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:10.799
Uh coming off uh fire game last night where he threw five touchdown passes.

00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:13.519
Not one, not two, not three, not four, but five TDs.

00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:22.720
Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for Miles McCaleboy.

00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:33.759
Yeah, yeah.

00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:34.880
What's going on, my man?

00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:35.599
What's going on?

00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:36.000
What's going on?

00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:37.200
I like that hoodie.

00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:38.160
Yes, sir, yes, sir.

00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:40.000
I just got it today, actually.

00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:41.920
Yes, yes.

00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:42.960

00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:48.640

Same as same as butt.

00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:56.880
Or if you want these, you know, jackets out here that we see, you know, whatnot, or orange hoodie, all this paraphernalia out here.

00:20:57.039 --> 00:20:57.599
You know, yeah.

00:20:57.759 --> 00:20:58.960
My man's got the throwback.

00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:02.799
I don't know who this guy is, but my man, somebody's got a throwback hoodie back here.

00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:05.039
That's right.

00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:06.640
We have the different colorways too.

00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:12.559
My man Sims back there, yeah, rocking the Detroit Lions throwback uh colorway there.

00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:13.359
Looking good.

00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:15.440
Yes, you can get them in your favorite team.

00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:16.799
All right, man.

00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:19.440
Well, hey, congratulations on uh your success.

00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:21.920
You know, you know we're rocking with you, you know, we're proud of you, my man.

00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:22.640
Yes, sir, yes, sir.

00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:24.559
And uh we want to talk a little quarterback here today.

00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:25.440
Let's do it, let's do it.

00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:28.000
Yeah, so uh, man, first let's talk.

00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:37.039
Because I know when you were on uh our next up show a couple of weeks ago, you were talking about one of the QBs that you looked up look up to, rightfully so, is Russell Wilson.

00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:37.839
Yes, sir, yes, sir.

00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:39.839
Legendary career and whatnot.

00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:47.759
Um, but uh man, just talk to us a little bit about him and you know, moving over to the bench and just kind of what's your take on what's happened with Russ so far?

00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:52.319
Yeah, I mean, I think I think Russell Wilson obviously is a great player, great quarterback.

00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:56.079
I think uh at some point everybody's time does come.

00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:57.920
So he's been in the league for a while.

00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:02.880
So I think I think a part of him is probably a little ready to pass the torch down to Jackson Dart.

00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:06.240
I know they've been like watching film and he's been teaching himself.

00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:10.160
So I think a part of him is kind of already ready to kind of step back.

00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:15.519
You know, he got kids in the family, so he's probably kind of ready to get out the way and start letting Jackson do his thing.

00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:16.799
So that's what I think about it.

00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:17.599
Yeah, I think so.

00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:18.160
I think so.

00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:20.480
So speaking of Jackson Dart, that's a great segue.

00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:22.640
I'll start with Diego and come over to you.

00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:25.759
Uh Diego, man, what do you think about Jackson Dart, man?

00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:27.279
He's kind of looking like the real deal.

00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:27.920
You think so?

00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:32.960
Uh yeah, he he obviously looked really good in his first game, had some good, really good moments.

00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:35.920
Um, I don't know if the consistency was really there, though.

00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:40.799
He only threw for about a hundred or so yards, but he did when it counted, he did come through.

00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:43.440
He had the rushing touchdown, he had the passing touchdown.

00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:47.119
But you know, without Malik, I think it's gonna be really tough this year for him.

00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:53.039
And you know, I just I I don't know if if this is gonna be a Daniel Jones Jones type of situation, you know?

00:22:53.359 --> 00:23:00.480
Like Daniel Jones started off, had some good moments, then just kind of faded off and faded away into being not the best.

00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:07.839
But yeah, this I I it's too early to tell if Jackson Dart's the real deal or not, but from what we've seen so far, he he's looking good.

00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:08.799
Okay, okay.

00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:09.839
How how about you?

00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:12.000
Yeah, I say I I agree with that.

00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:15.920
I say he's still he's still young, so he's still uh he's still got some time.

00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:20.240
I think he's sent to start again tomorrow against the Saints, if I'm not mistaken.

00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:23.599
So I think we go tune into that and see what he's talking about there.

00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:30.000
Yeah, so I think that would be a uh uh able to tell from that how well he'll be long term.

00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:30.640
Uh-huh.

00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:32.480
Yeah, I can definitely, definitely see that.

00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:32.799
Okay.

00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:37.119
Well, I love um with the Giants, I like the energy that they have.

00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:41.759
You could definitely see the next generation uh, you know, I'll come into shape here.

00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:44.319
So I'm so sad about Malik Neighbors, man.

00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:47.359
That just uh I I hate that uh for sure.

00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:55.599
It's like, man, it can't, you feel in one way the Giants can't catch a break because I I feel that he was getting ready to go off with Jackson Dark coming in there.

00:23:55.680 --> 00:23:56.799
So that makes me sad.

00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:01.680
But uh I do see a lot of um of a bright future with some of the pieces that they have.

00:24:01.920 --> 00:24:03.839
So let's move on to the Browns.

00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:08.079
Uh we got Dylan Gabriel, uh came from the Oregon, Oregon Ducks.

00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:13.839
Uh, looks like he's stepping into that QB1 spot, and then uh they still have Shador uh number three.

00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:18.160
Just kind of to give us your take on just the whole Cleveland Browns quarterback situation.

00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:21.279
Yeah, I think that was uh uh an interesting situation.

00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:26.000
I think we all knew it was gonna be interesting as soon as uh we seen it on draft night.

00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:29.680
So I think it was just uh I really don't know what it was.

00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:31.279
If it was me, I wouldn't win Shadur.

00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:39.359
To be honest, I would have went Shador and I would have had Dylan at the three, but I guess they decided to switch around, so we'll see how he does.

00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:41.359
Yeah, yeah, but that definitely see.

00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:42.720
What about you, Diego?

00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:45.200
Yeah, it's a really interesting situation.

00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:50.960
I mean, if you look at the start of the season, you know, obviously Dylan Gabriel drafting the third round, Shador drafting the fifth.

00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:58.160
And I mean Shador's third in the depth chart, and honestly, like it's third string quarterbacks don't play often in their first year.

00:24:58.319 --> 00:25:00.319
Like it's that's really hard to do.

00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:07.200
Like, and I mean if you look at if you look at college, Dylan Gabriel took what to two to two and a half seconds to throw the ball.

00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:13.039
He was he would get the ball out really quickly, and Shador would take well over three seconds to throw the ball.

00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:18.880
So I mean, I think that's part of why they chose Dylan Gabriel because you know the uh uh Brown's O-line isn't the best.

00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:28.559
So I think they feel like they could just throw the ball with with uh Dylan Gabriel more efficiently to where Shador needs more time and needs to sit in the pocket more to make things happen.

00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:30.480
So I I I like the decision.

00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:33.039
I think that's um a solid decision for them.

00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:34.880
Okay, all right, yeah.

00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:43.519
Well, I I definitely want to talk uh a little bit of Arch Manning, but oh, before we go to that, one more um piece on uh Shador.

00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:48.880
So we know that he passed on the um the man, the Baltimore Ravens.

00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:49.119
Sorry.

00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:50.960
Baltimore Ravens passed on them.

00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:57.920
And which, you know, there's debate, you know, on both sides, like, hey, you know, it's a great organization to learn from and whatnot, learn from Lamar.

00:25:58.079 --> 00:26:00.880
But you can also understand, hey, Lamar's a legend.

00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:03.519
Like you're not, unless there's injury, you're not playing.

00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:06.799
So you're sitting for several years, 10 years, so you'll never really get to play.

00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:14.240
However, again, hindsight's 2020, we look at it now, it's like, dang, if he did go to Baltimore, he'd probably be playing right now.

00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:16.480
Because, you know, it looks like Lamar's gonna be out.

00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:18.079
But just one last thing on that.

00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:26.799
What do you think of the decision to pass on um a couple of teams that already had an established quarterback to, you know, go to the Browns?

00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:30.480
Yeah, I think uh I think you know everybody wants to go where they think they're gonna play.

00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:34.400
So I'm sure he thought he was gonna play at Cleveland, but we've seen how that turns out.

00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:36.000
So I'm sure he was just in the draft.

00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:38.480
He was trying to go wherever he thought he could play the quickest.

00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:40.960
And I guess he thought the Browns was the best place for him.

00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:41.279
Yeah.

00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:42.319
So yeah, I say that.

00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:43.759
Could definitely see that.

00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:44.319
All right.

00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:47.839
So we'll we'll finish up with uh one more before we get you out of here, my man.

00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:49.119
Arch Manning.

00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:52.079
All right, so uh big, big week's coming up now.

00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:56.880
So we know we started was a whole lot of hype, family legacy coming in, a whole lot of hype.

00:26:57.039 --> 00:26:59.920
And then that first week was what was a dud.

00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:01.279
Okay, let's be real about that.

00:27:01.680 --> 00:27:09.920
However, and then right after that, it was a dub, but now numbers are getting better, getting more comfortable, playing a lot better, but not really against um good competition.

00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:13.519
Now it's about to get real, they're about to really get into that SEC.

00:27:13.680 --> 00:27:17.519
Yeah, what what's your take on what's uh about to happen here with Arch?

00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:19.680
Yeah, I mean, I think Archman is a great player.

00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:26.079
I think he brings something different between his uh between his brothers because you know he's able to use his legs a little bit.

00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:27.119
So I like that for him.

00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:28.960
I like that for his game.

00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:32.160
And yeah, I really don't know how the game's gonna go.

00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:34.400
We just kind of I like to just watch.

00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:37.359
I don't like to make too many predictions, it's just gonna watch and see what he does.

00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:38.480
I hope he does good though.

00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:39.920
So that's what I say for him.

00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:40.960
Yeah, for sure, for sure.

00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:45.440
Yeah, we definitely want to root root for everybody, uh, and we'll kind of see what happens.

00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:53.440
But uh I'll tell you what, well, look, we'll just go to Diego and get his take on this because uh I've I'm very curious because I don't know what I'm about to hear.

00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:56.640
Yeah, um, I'm really concerned with Arch Manning.

00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:57.440
I'm really concerned.

00:27:57.519 --> 00:28:01.200
I mean, after the first game, you saw the at the accuracy was not there.

00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:06.000
He was like, what, th 36% of his passes were just like inaccurate.

00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:08.559
Like he just like wasn't close to the guy at all.

00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:17.200
Like he just even against U UTP and like some of these other teams, like he's just not not hitting his receivers in the in the correct spots.

00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:20.799
So and I mean he's able to use his legs, that's great.

00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:27.839
But they're playing against these, they're about to start playing against these SEC defenses, and like they gotta play Florida this week.

00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:29.119
They have a really good defense.

00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:31.359
I just don't I just don't know.

00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:31.920
I just don't know.

00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:32.720
Yeah, we'll see.

00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:34.960
All right, so a lot of a lot of uh no.

00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:35.599
It's all right.

00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:37.920
We got we got a question in audience.

00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:40.240
We can't Florida, that's not bad.

00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:41.200
Oh, boom Florida.

00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:42.559
Oh, that's right, that's right.

00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:53.119
So in our audience here, yeah, we definitely we've got the uh Canes represented here, and we've got Florida State and uh big, big game coming up with them, big rival.

00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:54.799
So let me get get your table.

00:28:54.960 --> 00:29:02.880
Well, I might as well make predictions, but just tell us about the uh matchup between uh uh the the Florida Florida State and Miami.

00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:04.240
Yeah, where's that game at?

00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:05.279
That's at Florida State.

00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:06.319
At Florida State, yeah.

00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:11.680
I think I think that game is uh highly another highly anticipated game.

00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:13.920
I think everybody's definitely gonna watch that.

00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:17.839
Like you said, it's uh rivalry game, two teams out there.

00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:19.440
So I think that's gonna be a good game.

00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:21.839
I'm watch that and go just see what they can do.

00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:22.799
We'll see what we can do.

00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:26.079
So uh we get you get you out of here on on this, man.

00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:27.359
So five TDs, man.

00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:28.799
You know, things are progressing.

00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:36.720
I I believe you're also are now starting to, you know, get ranked and whatnot, and and uh more people are starting to recognize what you're doing with the Clinton Dark Horses.

00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:37.200
Yes, sir, yeah.

00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:40.720
Uh, want to give us any more intel on just how that process is going for you?

00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:42.400
Yeah, I mean it's going really good.

00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:46.720
Like first first couple of games, you know, everybody puts the non conference out.

00:29:46.799 --> 00:29:48.799
So I got my non conference film coming out soon.

00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:49.119
Okay.

00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:53.759
So you just put that out, see what the recruits say, get some feedback, what everybody's talking about.

00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:55.200
So that's my plan.

00:29:55.359 --> 00:29:59.839
Put everything out, and then after these five games put out the conference film and all that, good.

00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:00.880
Stuff so good.

00:30:01.039 --> 00:30:03.839
We'll just keep playing, keep balling, and just see what everybody's talking about.

00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:05.119
Yeah, we'll keep checking it out.

00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:08.240
We know you got the big homecoming game October 10th, too.

00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:10.799
So, yeah, definitely we'll be checking you out on that.

00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:12.720
Well, man, much success to you.

00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:13.680
Stay healthy.

00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:14.720
We're proud of you.

00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:18.799
And uh, we're looking forward to seeing you next month with more QB takes with uh M2.

00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:19.920
Yes, sir, yes, sir.

00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:20.880
Thanks a lot, my man.

00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:25.519
All right.

00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:35.119
Oh, we got you switch on back for one second.

00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:44.240
Uh so you know, those of you that have been watching us for years, you know that um, you know, when somebody close to us passes, we always do a tribute to them.

00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:47.839
And uh this one, man, they all hurt, they all hit hard.

00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:52.160
But this one, uh, a little more with it being uh our grandmother.

00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:56.160
Uh my grandmother, uh Vivian Thompson, uh passed recently.

00:30:56.319 --> 00:30:58.640
And uh we just want to say rest in peace.

00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:00.559
Uh we want to tell her we love her.

00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:02.559
Uh she was a phenomenal lady.

00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:12.480
She was uh a school teacher, um, always had a smile, always dealt with adversity in a positive way, a way that we're trying to model in our everyday lives.

00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:16.079
Um she she represented Chattown, Chicago, Chicago's final.

00:31:16.400 --> 00:31:18.480
She actually went by the nickname Chicago Vivian.

00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:27.519
So I remember growing up and going there, we would go down to the magnificent mile, and uh they would buy me clothes, three or four sizes too big.

00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:30.160
And uh we just had a just had a great time.

00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:34.079
Yeah, so just want to say much love to my grandmother Vivian Thompson.

00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:35.519
We love you, rest in peace.

00:31:35.839 --> 00:31:36.640
We love you.

00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:41.119
Thank you.

00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:52.640
Okay, and uh no easy way to transition from that, but I think the best way to transition from that is to something that uh our grandmother would be very proud of, and that's a fundraiser that we have coming up.

00:31:53.119 --> 00:31:57.359
So we have a fundraiser, we are raising funds for Haven House Services, Diego.

00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:00.720
Yes, yeah, Haven House, they are an amazing organization.

00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:05.359
They have uh 13 different programs to help troubled youth uh here in Wake County.

00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:09.359
One of the biggest programs that they have is for runaway teenagers.

00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:14.000
So they are one of the few places that have shelters where runaway teens can go and stay.

00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:17.599
And uh we're trying to raise$10,000 for Haven House services.

00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:21.279
And we're gonna try to do this, we're gonna do this in Pick Em Pros style.

00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:34.240
So all you have to do is go to our website, thepick'empros.com, and pick who's gonna win the game between Diego's beloved Carolina Panthers, all right, and uh Johnny O's Dallas Cowboys.

00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:36.079
What a game.

00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:40.319
All you have to do is correctly pick the winner of this game.

00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:41.920
Uh yeah, that's right.

00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:45.599
And and make a donation.

00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:49.200
So if you make a$25 donation, that gets you one entry.

00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:53.599
Uh, and again, you can make much more than that and give you more chances to win.

00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:57.599
But if you get the game right, then you will be entered into the drawing to win.

00:32:57.680 --> 00:32:59.119
We're gonna draw the name live.

00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:02.160
We're gonna draw it live on Instagram live the following day.

00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:07.920
So uh you've got until um the day before the game to make that uh entry and donation.

00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:10.240
So please go make that domain donation.

00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:16.400
Let's raise as much money as possible so we can uh help our um youth that are going through a tough time here locally.

00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:18.000
All right, thank you, Pick'em Pros.

00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:21.440
All right, well, we're gonna close with our guy, Johnny O.

00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:31.279
Well, Johnny O has been on uh many times in the past, but the first time he was on was when uh he got lucky and won a pair of kicks with Pick'em Pros.

00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:46.240
We met him in a festival and uh dropped his name in a hat because we always got drawings, we always have cool giveaways and things going on, but he was the winner of uh some Jays and uh came on and joined us to show them off, and we've been uh uh joined at the hip ever since.

00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:50.079
He's also launched his uh own show uh called Whole Shots.

00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:51.680
It's all things motocross.

00:33:51.839 --> 00:34:07.759
Uh so uh let's put your hands together for the one and only Johnny Oh This ought to be good.

00:34:08.239 --> 00:34:09.039
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

00:34:09.119 --> 00:34:09.760
It's gonna be good.

00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:10.320
It's gonna be good.

00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:10.960
What's up, man?

00:34:11.039 --> 00:34:11.840
Hey, what's good, man?

00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:12.320
It's good.

00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:13.119
Thanks for having me.

00:34:13.199 --> 00:34:14.639
Yeah, it's a great setup.

00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:15.920
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:19.119
Nah, it's great to finally have you here on the set.

00:34:19.199 --> 00:34:20.880
And uh we're so excited.

00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:26.639
We're so excited to uh, man, talks of uh Dallas Cowboys, your favorite team in the world.

00:34:26.960 --> 00:34:28.639
The best team, Dallas Cowboys.

00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:29.840
We know you're a super fan.

00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:35.119
Yeah, you know, you've seen you wearing the throwback Witten jersey, you got the coordinating Miles Austin.

00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:36.480
I got me a nice Miles Austin.

00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:38.880
Yeah, that was back when they were halfway decent.

00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:40.639
Yeah, well they're they're decent now.

00:34:40.719 --> 00:34:42.159
They they they that's high.

00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:43.840
That's you know one win.

00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:45.039
Yeah, yeah, one win.

00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:47.519
You got the number one offense in the league.

00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:50.559
Yeah, okay, and the last ranked defense in the league.

00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:51.360
Okay.

00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:54.800
So Micah here or not, I don't think it matters.

00:34:55.360 --> 00:34:56.480
But I'm not happy.

00:34:56.719 --> 00:34:57.360
You're not happy.

00:34:57.519 --> 00:34:57.840
No.

00:34:58.239 --> 00:34:58.960
I have lost.

00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:02.880
I literally do not like to wear cowboys gear anymore.

00:35:03.039 --> 00:35:03.360
What?

00:35:03.519 --> 00:35:05.039
I'm just it's upsetting to me.

00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:10.000
It's it's see, this I knew I'd get some fans in here.

00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:18.400
You know, so with that being said, I I've definitely jumped to the other bandwagon team in the NFL, which are the Buffalo Bills.

00:35:19.280 --> 00:35:19.440
Yeah.

00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:22.320
Let's go, Bills.

00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:26.559
Well, you've always, you know, you've always been a Bills fan as well.

00:35:26.719 --> 00:35:29.599
You know, you're from upstate New York.

00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:32.480
So, you know, we we we give you that a little bit.

00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:36.320
But uh man, that's just I'm I'm sad you you you switching.

00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:37.599
So oh boy.

00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:39.280
Oh man, what's this surprise?

00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:44.800
Oh boy, you know, Helm, you are are you sure you can is that Dax?

00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:48.159
You cannot uh is that his official game helmet?

00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:50.719
That's funny.

00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:51.360
That's funny.

00:35:51.519 --> 00:35:52.719
I didn't catch that at first.

00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:57.920
Yeah, you know, it's uh you you know you can't resist the star, man.

00:35:58.159 --> 00:35:59.039
I I'll take it.

00:35:59.519 --> 00:36:00.079
You can't resist this.

00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:00.800
Is that a gift?

00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:01.360
Is that a gift?

00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:02.400
It wasn't a gift.

00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:06.400
I was just showing it to I was just showing you know you were implying that you were like, hey, here, John.

00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:07.840
Nah, no, just for being such a good idea.

00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:13.519
Like true, you know, cowboy fans, they get hypnotized by the star and Jerry and everything.

00:36:14.159 --> 00:36:14.800
I guess you're right.

00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:16.880
You're right, because I can't stop looking at it.

00:36:17.199 --> 00:36:17.440
That's right.

00:36:17.679 --> 00:36:19.039
See, let's go sit that.

00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:20.000
Does it light up too?

00:36:20.159 --> 00:36:21.280
Is there a little is there a light?

00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:21.920
It can.

00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:24.320
Or did oh, that was just from the set, the set light.

00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:27.039
I thought there was a little red hint on the bottom of it.

00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:28.000
Oh, yeah.

00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:28.159
Yeah.

00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:29.599
I'm just gonna sit that there, man.

00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:29.920
All right.

00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:31.280
I'm not even gonna look at it.

00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:36.639
Okay, so uh no.

00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:38.480
So okay, Cowboys playoffs.

00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:39.119
Let's let's go right.

00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:40.400
Let's start with Mr.

00:36:40.559 --> 00:36:44.079
Uh Yes, play playoff cowboys.

00:36:44.239 --> 00:36:45.920
So let's go to uh Diego Army.

00:36:46.079 --> 00:36:49.199
The guy you you coined this phrase, Diego Army here.

00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:50.159
Shout out to you.

00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:53.119
Um Diego, the Cowboys making the playoffs this year.

00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:55.679
No, not with that defense, no.

00:36:56.159 --> 00:36:56.480
No.

00:36:56.880 --> 00:36:57.199
No?

00:36:57.440 --> 00:36:58.719
And then no chance, zero.

00:36:58.960 --> 00:36:59.280
Man, no.

00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:05.199
I mean, I'm not saying Panthers are much better are better, but I mean Well, look, I'm going to the game next weekend.

00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:05.599
Yeah.

00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:19.840
And uh I might enter that drawing and and make my pick, but it's gonna be anonymous because I'm not gonna you don't want to know exactly what I choose to score to be because I think it's gonna be a a big gap.

00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:22.639
But I'm not gonna say who's gonna win right here on the show.

00:37:23.039 --> 00:37:23.920
Not gonna say who's gonna win.

00:37:24.159 --> 00:37:24.320
No.

00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:24.559
Okay.

00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:24.880
All right.

00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:28.639
Because I don't want to make his head get, you know, you know how he feels about those.

00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:31.760
This game's probably gonna keep Bryce Young's job for another year.

00:37:32.079 --> 00:37:32.639
Probably so.

00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:34.159
He better have a turnout game.

00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:35.119
He probably will, yeah.

00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:36.239
Against our defense.

00:37:36.480 --> 00:37:36.559
Yeah.

00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:37.599
He might be able to.

00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:42.079
So who's the okay, so crowd, who's gonna win the um the Cowboys Panther game?

00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:43.039
Panthers.

00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:46.239
Uh okay.

00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:47.199
I think I'm gonna hear him.

00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:49.119
Look at look at look at Diego over here.

00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:50.880
No, no, no, we're not winning that game.

00:37:51.039 --> 00:37:51.760
He's not winning that game.

00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:56.000
I mean, it's probably gonna be it's probably gonna be like 40 to 35.

00:37:56.239 --> 00:37:57.440
See, I can cowboys.

00:37:57.679 --> 00:38:06.880
I can agree, but uh the way our defense is playing right now, like I honestly don't think like he's gonna just he better have a hell of a game.

00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:10.480
He's gonna have a good game, but but our defense is about just as bad.

00:38:11.039 --> 00:38:14.559
Okay, so high, high scoring, crappy defensive games.

00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:15.679
Your offense is better though.

00:38:16.079 --> 00:38:16.800
Absolutely, yeah.

00:38:17.039 --> 00:38:19.440
But so there still I think you were right.

00:38:19.519 --> 00:38:21.679
That's a good 40 to 35.

00:38:21.760 --> 00:38:23.760
That's probably pretty accurate.

00:38:23.840 --> 00:38:24.320
All right, yeah.

00:38:24.480 --> 00:38:25.599
But I don't know, it could go either way.

00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:29.679
Yeah, Russell Wilson was able to throw for like 400 yards and four or four touchdowns.

00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:31.920
My thing is right before he got benched.

00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:35.679
So have a heck of a game and then you get benched.

00:38:36.559 --> 00:38:37.199
It doesn't make sense.

00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:39.599
Hopefully that don't happen to my man back there.

00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:41.119
There you go.

00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:46.960
There's no way, there's no way that's happened to my band.

00:38:48.719 --> 00:38:49.760
Man, okay.

00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:54.159
So uh so let's transition to uh your the Buffalo Bills.

00:38:54.559 --> 00:38:54.800
Okay.

00:38:54.880 --> 00:38:55.039
Yeah.

00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:56.880
Coming on here like MVP.

00:38:57.039 --> 00:38:58.639
Like you're time, you are not Tommy V.

00:38:58.880 --> 00:38:59.519
Well, though.

00:38:59.840 --> 00:39:00.800
Hey, this is true.

00:39:01.039 --> 00:39:05.360
He would love that too, because he he's on the uh the beginning of the hard nights.

00:39:05.519 --> 00:39:05.760
Uh-huh.

00:39:05.840 --> 00:39:06.480
I saw the show.

00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:08.800
I saw that was pretty cool.

00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:09.920
Shout out to Tommy.

00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:10.320
Yeah.

00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:11.280
So, all right.

00:39:11.519 --> 00:39:13.760
Um Super Bowl.

00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:14.559
Okay.

00:39:14.880 --> 00:39:17.599
That I got I I I'm gonna make a prediction.

00:39:18.480 --> 00:39:19.840
Yeah, right, right.

00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:25.440
So Eagles Ravens.

00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:28.079
Whoa, Ravens.

00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:30.800
Maybe have you seen the Ravens?

00:39:31.199 --> 00:39:32.159
In the same record as us.

00:39:32.320 --> 00:39:39.199
I I'm just saying though, they look like Yes, yes, but we got the bathroom right back here.

00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:41.760
I gotta I just gotta phone, I gotta go.

00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:43.599
I just got a phone call.

00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:45.760
Either the Ravens or the Bills.

00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:48.480
Yeah.

00:39:48.800 --> 00:39:48.960
Okay.

00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:50.800
That's a hot take, too.

00:39:51.199 --> 00:39:51.440
Yeah, yeah.

00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:52.159
That's a hot take.

00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:52.639
That's hot.

00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:53.119
Remember that.

00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:54.559
You threw me off at that.

00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:55.360
All right.

00:39:56.320 --> 00:40:01.280
Okay, Ravens or Bills, and then uh who in the um who in the NFC?

00:40:01.440 --> 00:40:02.800
For the championship game?

00:40:03.519 --> 00:40:04.079
Yeah.

00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:09.679
The championship game in the NFC is probably gonna be the Panthers and the Eagles.

00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:11.679
Or not the Panthers, the the Packers.

00:40:12.159 --> 00:40:12.800
Sorry, the Packers.

00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:14.719
Green Bay Packers, sorry.

00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:15.519
Yeah, okay.

00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:18.159
Yeah, the Green Bay Packers or the Eagles.

00:40:18.400 --> 00:40:23.039
Okay, and then and then you got the Eagles and then the Eagles and then either the uh Bills or the or the Greens.

00:40:23.280 --> 00:40:23.920
Or the Ravens, yeah.

00:40:24.079 --> 00:40:25.039
Wow, okay, okay.

00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:28.079
I don't see the Chiefs doing much anymore this year.

00:40:28.639 --> 00:40:32.960
Hopefully the Bills can handle them in the next few games, you know, when they play.

00:40:34.559 --> 00:40:35.039
Right, yeah.

00:40:35.440 --> 00:40:37.280
Well, come on now.

00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:38.880
Let's take it easy.

00:40:39.119 --> 00:40:41.360
They always struggle with that game, that's for sure.

00:40:41.599 --> 00:40:42.000
Yeah, yeah.

00:40:43.599 --> 00:40:44.320
Regular season now.

00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:45.119
Yeah, yeah.

00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:46.639
It's it's it's still early.

00:40:46.719 --> 00:40:46.880
Yeah.

00:40:47.119 --> 00:40:48.159
What is it, week five?

00:40:48.400 --> 00:40:48.800
It is, yeah.

00:40:49.519 --> 00:40:50.000
It's still early.

00:40:50.159 --> 00:40:52.960
There's so much more football to play, and there's so much more things that can happen.

00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:53.519
For sure.

00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:58.559
But the fact that the Cowboys have won one game and they tied a game, yeah, it's pretty pathetic.

00:40:59.440 --> 00:41:00.320
And it really upsets me.

00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:03.840
It's like a 31-year relationship that you just gotta get rid of.

00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:05.039
Yeah, it's gotta get rid of it.

00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:06.639
But it still lingers, you know what I mean?

00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:07.519
Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:09.280
31's gonna linger for sure.

00:41:09.519 --> 00:41:11.920
Well, I mean, I've been a fan since I was a little boy, you know.

00:41:12.239 --> 00:41:15.360
So spe speaking of, what about uh Jerry Jones?

00:41:15.599 --> 00:41:17.519
Well, hell.

00:41:18.880 --> 00:41:20.960
He needs to leave it to Steven.

00:41:21.199 --> 00:41:21.599
Yeah.

00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:24.239
And just he's gotta wash his hands, man.

00:41:24.320 --> 00:41:25.519
Just get away from the team.

00:41:25.599 --> 00:41:28.559
Yeah, like he's always had his finger on everything, you know.

00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:31.599
Just and I couldn't imagine being a head coach there ever.

00:41:31.760 --> 00:41:32.000
Yeah.

00:41:32.159 --> 00:41:33.840
Just because you know he's in it in his ear.

00:41:34.159 --> 00:41:34.400
Yeah, yeah.

00:41:34.960 --> 00:41:35.519
Do this, do that.

00:41:35.679 --> 00:41:36.719
Like, why don't you just coach the team?

00:41:36.960 --> 00:41:37.840
You know, he runs the show.

00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:38.639
He runs the show.

00:41:38.800 --> 00:41:41.119
Well, he is it is Jerry's world, right?

00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:42.800
I miss Jerry, by the way.

00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:46.159
We're we ever gonna see the pick 'em pros, Jerry.

00:41:46.559 --> 00:41:48.239
Jerry Jones Thompson, yeah, at some point.

00:41:48.480 --> 00:41:48.960
I miss that guy.

00:41:50.159 --> 00:41:51.039
I like having a drink with him.

00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:51.760
I miss him too.

00:41:51.840 --> 00:41:52.159
Yeah, yeah.

00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:53.760
He has some good yeah, yeah.

00:41:53.840 --> 00:41:56.320
He's yeah, he's got some amazing yeah, it's good.

00:41:56.480 --> 00:41:57.360
Yeah, for sure.

00:41:57.599 --> 00:41:59.519
So uh let's get you out of here on this, man.

00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:00.639
Motocross.

00:42:00.800 --> 00:42:01.119
Yes, sir.

00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:01.840
Motocross.

00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:02.400
Love it.

00:42:02.559 --> 00:42:04.639
See, Diego's got the hat up there.

00:42:04.719 --> 00:42:05.679
Yeah, number 18.

00:42:05.920 --> 00:42:06.800
That's Jet Lawrence.

00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:10.480
He actually just won the the entire SMX series.

00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:12.000
Yeah, good for him.

00:42:12.159 --> 00:42:12.960
Team Honda.

00:42:13.119 --> 00:42:13.280
Okay.

00:42:13.519 --> 00:42:15.440
Um, honestly, it was a double whammy.

00:42:15.599 --> 00:42:22.480
And the he won the big bikes and uh Honda Joe Shimoda, first Japanese rider to ever win the SMX championship.

00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:36.800
And they took, and now that it's starting to gain more traction with the mainstream, the money that they're giving out, it was like I think it was a total of five and a half million dollars between the two classes in the top five placements.

00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:37.199
Uh-huh.

00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:44.559
So they're given a lot of opportunity for different people to make their way in the way the point system works because the last race is triple points.

00:42:44.639 --> 00:42:44.719
Yeah.

00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:48.079
So if you do bad in the first two, you have a chance to come back in the last one.

00:42:48.159 --> 00:42:49.679
So it was a great season.

00:42:49.760 --> 00:43:06.400
I was able to go to the Charlotte race, which was really kind of crappy because it rained and they canceled the second motos and literally just got on the the um loudspeaker and says, Oh, I'm sorry, but we're gonna cancel the last motos due to the lightning in the area.

00:43:06.639 --> 00:43:08.159
Everybody boos, we leave.

00:43:08.239 --> 00:43:09.760
20 minutes later, the sun's out.

00:43:09.840 --> 00:43:11.119
Yeah, it was a joke.

00:43:11.760 --> 00:43:13.519
Uh, there was some very mad people there.

00:43:13.760 --> 00:43:14.480
Oh, that's rough.

00:43:14.639 --> 00:43:18.079
But yeah, the motocross and and the podcast with whole shots, man.

00:43:18.159 --> 00:43:31.840
We we try to cover all of it and and at least like very similar to what you guys do, just highlight all the important stuff and and just make our picks and and talk about what we think is is fun and what what should be done out there on the on the track.

00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:33.039
All right, we'll be looking.

00:43:33.199 --> 00:43:34.719
So when when does the next season start up?

00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:36.559
Well, so it starts in January.

00:43:36.719 --> 00:43:41.360
So hopefully maybe early December I can start doing some more.

00:43:41.519 --> 00:43:43.840
And because this is the this is the off-season.

00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:53.039
Well, this weekend is um the MX of Nations where all the different nations come to one track and they race against all the top pros in the world, so it's pretty cool.

00:43:53.280 --> 00:43:55.440
All right, but yeah, yeah, all right, man.

00:43:55.519 --> 00:43:55.840
Yeah, man.

00:43:56.239 --> 00:43:57.440
We'll be looking out for you for sure.

00:43:57.840 --> 00:44:01.199
Definitely your charisma, personality, you know, definitely shines through the pro.

00:44:01.440 --> 00:44:02.159
We gotta we do the work.

00:44:02.480 --> 00:44:03.360
Couldn't do it without you, man.

00:44:03.440 --> 00:44:04.639
