Lakers Sold?! More WNBA Drama , Red Sox tanking, & the NFL Is Cooking!

In short

Sports news roundtable covering the Boston Red Sox’s recent slide, the Los Angeles Dodgers/Lakers/LeBron business angles, WNBA controversy (Sophie Cunningham and Dijonay Carrington), transgender participation in women’s sports, and NFL updates including Quinton “Quinan” Williams’ Cowboys contract and AFC/NFC North talk.

Guests

Wilfred Anthony Gonzalez (“lost son of Baker Mayfield” / “Baker Mayfield Jr.” lookalike). He transferred to the University of Missouri after FGCU and JUCO at Seminole State (Oklahoma). He played multiple infield positions (third, short, second, and catcher). He also has a brother, Julio Gonzalez, who played at Florida Gold Coast University.

Key claims and notable examples

  • Red Sox: lost four straight (at one point down 1-0 to the Blue Jays). Host argues they’re still on track for the second wildcard due to prior 15-game and 9-game winning streaks; key players (Gary Crochet and Roman Anthony) returning after months out.
  • Dodgers: guest says they can reach the World Series but won’t win; hitting has been off (Mookie Betts around .230).
  • WNBA: Cunningham involved in a flagrant foul/ejection; debate centers on the postgame “white privilege” comment and whether Carrington should be suspended/banned.
  • Transgender/WNBA: hosts argue for separate leagues; commissioner review discussed for “wording of what a woman is.”
  • Lakers: Lakers sold for $12B; new owners named as Josh Kushner and Bob Iger; debate about Adam Silver scheduling LeBron for ratings.
  • Cowboys: Quinton Williams contract cited ($105.9M, $101M guaranteed). Host says it helps a struggling run defense; George Pickens likely unaffected, franchise-tagging to “bet on himself.”

0:08Welcome to the SportsRide Show with Sports Pops, listen to the voices if you wanna get in with the boys ortiz dallas cowboys neighborhood with mr wilson it's about time with top maverick and the big crew start your engines the sports ride show is ready

0:41welcome everybody to the sports ride show i am your host sports pops and remember here at the sports ride show every sports story belongs to you but in order to bring all the sports stories we need the best big crew in sports today so let me start with listen to the voices if you want to get in trouble with the voice or tease back from France, Italy, Greek, Kenya, Cambodia, India, Turkey, the one and only the Dallas Cowboys neighborhood with Mr. Wilson. And tonight we got our special guest, Wilfred Anthony Gonzalez, better known as the lost son of Baker Mayfield. Look at him. They look identical.

1:34I don't know, Baker, you might have to go to... DNA. Yeah, yeah, DNA testing here at Hillsborough County. Because my man, my man, let me tell you, they look very, very, very, very similar. Before we get the show started, I just want to say that this show is brought to you by Milorian. If you want a professional marketing campaign, you want a professional podcast, You do it at Milorian here. Milorian at TBCT. And let's start with baseball. And the first thing I got to do before we start baseball is one thing really quick. I just, you know, let me see if this comes out the way we want it.

2:21Okay. Okay.

2:26And...

2:31Okay, we did the Frenchie, you know, we eat French fries. We also did the fangulo pizza pizza, italiano. And then we did the Greek salad at the end because we don't know how he's going to be speaking this week after, you know, being in different countries. Oh, you should have seen that video with the gondolas, bro. He thought he was Denzel Washington, you know. Hi, everybody. Hi, everybody. I mean, he was amazing. But anyway, let's go into our segment. Listen to the voices if you want to get in trouble with the voice. Ortiz, because Wilbur Antone is going to be making some comments about what we're talking today.

3:11And it's about if the Red Sox are becoming the Red Sox again since, you know, the beginning of the year. So, boys, I'm going to let you take over and explain everything that is happening with the Red Sox that are losing four games in a row. They're in a bat losing winning streak right now. Or losing streak, I'm sorry. I take that back. And then we'll let our guest, which I will introduce as soon as it's ready to talk. So, let's go and see what you got to say about those Red Sox, Mr. Voice. Well, you know what? I'll tell you what. I mean, they've lost four in a row. I thought it was three, but thank you for the correction.

3:54Matter of fact, right now they're live and they're already losing 1-0 in the bottom of the second inning to the Blue Jays. I mean, even if they lose a fifth game, yeah, it's a little bit of a concern. But after they went on that 15-game winning streak, which was a club record, and then they went on another nine-game winning streak, the Red Sox pretty much are where they're supposed to be. I was reading an article the other day that, you know, the predictions before the season, they're right where they're supposed to be at right now. OK, it's just how they got there, because July 3rd, there were 13 games under 500.

4:33And then a couple of months later, they were 13 games over 500. Right now, they still have the second wildcard spot is still theirs. So, yeah, it's a little bit of a concern, but let's also remember Gary Crochet, their ace, and Roman Anthony, one of the best young hitters in the game today, they've been out for the past three, four months. They're saying that, you know, they're starting to, one is starting to throw, and then Anthony is starting to swing the bat. There's still a long way to go, but think about it. They did all of that with their best hitter and their best pitcher sidelined for almost four months.

5:11So am I worried? Yeah, a little bit, but hey, they can sell another winning streak. You know? Well, I mean, I'm sorry. These are two of the Tampa Bay fans that I've probably been to like one or two. Tampa Bay? I'm not a Tampa Bay fan. I mean, I love the team here, our beautiful TV city. But hold on. Didn't you pick the Red Sox? What are you crying and doing all this? Wait a second. No, no, no, no. When they fired Cora, I came back to you and asked you if I could go ahead and change my pick. And you immediately said, no, you can't change it. I said no. So I'm expecting them not to be in the playoffs.

5:51That's what I've said the whole year. So, you know, we're still there arguing with the same thing. I'm sticking with my team. I mean, there's still a lot of baseball drafts. As you should, voice. I expect nothing less from you. I'm sticking with my team. Good for you. You know, you love those Miami Dolphins. Loving the Red Sox should be anything very easy for you to do. I mean, masoquista. Anyway. If you're a fan, you're a fan. What? Should I go get my Red Sox? No, it's not necessary, man. They're on a four-losing streak, and they're losing. I'll wear it next week. Because now I'm rooting for the Red Sox to make it because Sportsbox is not staying true to what he selected at the beginning of the season.

6:36I did, but there were some variables. Like, they fired Cora at the beginning of the year. You know, I was not expecting that. That's my boy from Puerto Rico. And he got fired, man. There's no way I can feel that energy and say, oh, here they come. I mean, the winning streak with the 15 games and the nine games, but now they have lost four in a row, and you cannot do my. Hey, listen, you got to do it for yourself. Do it for yourself. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Move on. You know, he came in even worse after the vacation. I thought he was going to be a nicer guy, but he's still a nasty little boy.

7:15Mr. Wilson and his Dallas Cowboys neighborhood. Let me do my introduction here with Wilfred Anthony Gonzalez. Wilfred, welcome to the show. It's a pleasure having you here. Can you tell us a little bit about you and what are you doing besides looking like Baker Mayfield? So I went, I just transferred to the University of Missouri to go play in the SEC and then from FGCU. I went JUCO for two years, Seminole State in Oklahoma, and then I graduated from Derr Academy in Miami. Okay, perfect. Which we were a powerhouse my senior year. There we go. Hey, baby. Let's go. What do you think about the situation with the Red Sox or would you call them Red Sox?

8:02For me, Red Sox are probably my favorite team, so I think they'll be all right. I think with Ali Rutron back in the lineup and when they get Crochet back and they get Roman Anthony back, I think I saw today that he's hitting off the Trey Jack, the machine that assimilates the pitcher, that he's already hitting off that, so I think he'll be back in probably a couple weeks. And then when we get Carter Crawford back, he went to Florida Gophers as well, so I know a good amount about him and I feel like he'll help the bullpen out a lot. Just take off some innings off Whitlock and Chapman. Okay. Let me ask you this, W.A., you know, after the Dodgers, the blue evil empire of the National League, acquired Scoobo, do you feel that this is something that is done?

8:51They're going to win the World Series no matter what? I know they're not hitting, and we discussed this this past weekend because I was in Miami.

9:03I don't think they could win this year I don't think they go three in a row I don't think they got it like that They have the pitching staff to do it But like I said, their hitting has been off the whole year For them to win in Mookie Betts It has to get hot again And him hitting 230 is not going to cut it And then obviously you got Blake Snell Just came back And he shoved yesterday I think it was yesterday if I'm not wrong I don't think the Dodgers win again. Okay. Let me ask you this. Who do you think will come out of the National League to be in the World Series? I think they do make the World Series, but I don't think they win it.

9:42Oh, wow. What a take. Okay. I think they make the World Series, but they don't win it. And who they will lose the World Series to? I'm a little biased. I think they lose to the Red Sox, but that's just me. Wow. Wow. Look at you. Look at you made the voice proud. He's a proud. He might say you're his nephew. Hey, you know what? Pre-production. What I was telling you, first of all, I'm going to call him Mini Gonzalez. First of all, I hope that God gives you plenty of health so you can go ahead and do your thing. Hopefully one day I'm going to finally say, man, I knew somebody. I made it all the way to the top.

10:20What did I tell you? Hopefully you get picked by the Marlins. They're going to bring you up through the system. They're going to build you up. Once you start kicking ass with their team, they're going to send you to a real team where you're going to make that big-ass breath. So good luck to you, baby, because that's all they do. That's all. Mr. Wilson, do you think he should go play for the Morgans? Hey, listen, the Marlins farm system, if you look around the league, a lot of the top players around the league went through the farming system in Miami. they don't have a problem with scouting or anything like that they don't have a problem with scouting they have a problem with accounting they have a problem with paying people so yes Wilfred Winnie Gonzalez go out there do whatever it takes to get through that farming system if it's in Miami great they've got a great track record of getting guys paid just not paying them I think he can be, you know, Wilfred A.

11:19Gonzalez, better known as, or AKA as Baker Mayfield Jr. There's no doubt in my mind whatsoever that he can go through that. I'm going to put you on the spot, Baker Mayfield Jr. here. Who's still your baseball advisor? I just want to know. You know Javier. Oh, yeah, I know that guy. Yeah, you don't know. He don't know. But he knows Sportsbox is the guy that is advising this young man, and hopefully I can continue to do that in his amazing career. So far, college has been unbelievable for him, even high school. I mean, when he went to Doral Academy, I remember, and I don't know if you remember, I said, you got to hit over 400.

12:07How much did you hit in Doral Academy for that year? I think it was like 455 or something like that. Yeah. That was great. Yes. And then he went to Seminole State College, hit.328 the first year. But tell him how much you hit the second year. .394. Woo-hoo! Hotty, hotty, hotty, hotty. And then last year he had a great season with Florida Gold Coast University. His brother's on the matter, Julio Gonzalez. So they were following that path. But eventually, you know, he has a better, bigger opportunity with the University of Missouri. So now he's going to be a Mitsu, Mitsu, Mitsu, Mitsu, Mitsu. So we're going to be watching a lot of University of Missouri.

12:51Go for it. Hey, what position do you play, brother? I play four positions. I play third, short, second, and a catch. Yeah. But my main right now is middle interest, short and second. That's one of the better things that could happen to you because, hey, man, you know, the utility players, you know, they're viable. anywhere, at any level. You know what I mean? So especially in MLB, that they're always looking for people that can play more than one position. Man, kudos to you, man. That's great, man. Okay, let me ask you. I can play some outfields, too. Like, no problem. Just put me out there. Okay.

13:25We know your favorite team, the Boston Red Sox. What is your favorite food?

13:32Like, where it's from? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It can be, you know, Puerto Rican or you can say. It's Puerto Rican food. It's arroguizau. Arroguizau. Okay, there we go. Okay. Who's your favorite player all time? All time is Dustin Paggiora. Okay. There we go. Who do you think is the greatest baseball of all times? Baseball player of all time? Yeah. Barry Bonds. There we go. Okay. Yeah. Greatest pitcher of all times. Damn. There's so many, man. There's just so many. No, no, but it's an opinion. You know, like me, for me, it's Greg Maddox. For me, I like either Clemens or Randy Johnson. Okay, okay. Wow.

14:18Best coach of all times or manager in this case. What's his guy's name? He was with the Marlins and I think with the Tigers. Leland? Jim Leland. Oh, Jim Leland. He was with the Pirates. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There we go. Was he with the Marlins at one point? Yeah, he was with the Marlins at one point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He won the championship. He came to Miami and won the championship there, too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Great coach. Okay. Best cheerleader of all time. No, no, don't say that. We don't want your lady to get upset that you say who's the best cheerleader in the world. Hold on. They have names?

Hey, my brother. Hey, man. Listen, hey, nice to meet you. Remember what I told you, man.

22:45God is going to give you lots of health. And I'm going to say one day I finally spoke to a major league baseball player. Hey, go and get it, baby. I appreciate it. Go and get it. Best to love you, my brother. Hey, nothing but love. I appreciate it. Love you, brother. Okay. You have a good one. You too. Well, we had him there. We're still on air. We haven't lost anybody. No, no flags to be thrown. Regarding, like you said, thank you for correcting that they lost four in a row. Well, I need to correct myself from last week. For whatever reason, I thought that Strout went into his fifth year. He's actually going into his fourth.

23:22So for the fan that corrected me, and I thank them for that, and I say, my bad, I just thought it was the fifth year. I don't know why, but, yeah, he's entering the fourth year of his career, early career. So we'll see how that goes. Let's talk a little bit about our beautiful WNBA. Ain't that special? We have a couple of situations. I know you've been out lately, Mr. Wilson, But we need to talk about the ladies that had an encounter, Sophie Cunningham, and the young lady from the Chicago skies. She did a flagrant foul, too, that cost her an immediate ejection from the game. I imagine that she probably got a, basically, a suspension, too, because usually that's what happens when you get a flagrant too.

24:22And since they're using mostly of the NBA rules, I imagine this is what took place. I have no problem with somebody playing hard. I think the WNBA is playing more like the old school NBA basketball of the 80s. Okay? That's fine. But my problem is when you do the action, and it was just like a Bill Lampier type of foul. And Lampier got a lot of flagrances, ejections, you name it. But he never went to the locker room and just write, you know, like this young lady decided to say, white privilege. But why in the hell are you bringing something like that when you're the one that made the flagrant foul?

25:11It was clearly a flagrant foul, you know. I have no problem the way you played it. I have no problem that you made the flicker and foul and you made a statement within the game. But to go on the first thing you're going to do when you go into the locker room? Woo! Hot, hot, hot. I don't know if you guys know Tyrus from Fox News. He used to be a wrestler, former football player. Well, he came out and he said that she should be suspended, it, but also banned for the rest of the season for that comment. I'm just saying what they're saying out there, but it's a big problem that we're having. And I don't know what to say, but I didn't like the comment.

25:59You made a flagrant foul, you got ejected, perfect, take your suspension and come back. If you want to say sorry to the other player, that's up to you, but it's not necessary, to be honest with you. is basketball or basketball, like the voice will call it. Mr. Wilson, I'm going to give you the mic first regarding this situation. What are your thoughts?

26:24Definitely a hard foul, definitely a flagrant two. I think that it was judiciated the correct way by the referees. I don't think that they missed anything, to be quite honest with you. I think that it was a, I don't necessarily say it was a dirty play. I don't feel like it was that, you know what I mean? I feel like undercutting legs and things like that. That's more dirty of a play. It's a hard, aggressive play with contact to the head, neck area with the player in the vulnerable position. I think that all of those things constitute a flagrant two. I think she should have been thrown out of the game.

27:03and if the rules state that she should also be suspended based on it being a flagrant too, then yes, she should be suspended with that. On the after or the post game stuff, being banned and things like that, no, it's freedom of speech. She has the right to her opinion. Ultimately, I don't think that that's an opinion that should be voiced from a league standpoint. I don't think that that's, I feel like the ladies are constantly, and I brought this up before, they're constantly getting in their way. This is basketball. If you want to say it's a BS call or something like that, call it a BS call.

27:42But don't bring politics or social issues and all of those other things into the fray. It's already convoluted as it is. It's already enough tension and everything when it comes to the WNBA. You don't want to bring other aspects of society. play ball, hoop, play between the lines, lace them up, go out there, do your thing. These are spectacular and marvelous athletes. And I think that they just need to kind of focus back on the game and leave all of the social and all of the political stuff out there in the world. Just go hoop. You know, we had lunch, and let me apologize because I had Sophie Cunningham, for sure, Sophie, her name, but the other young lady is Dijonay Carrington, and I hope I'm spelling that the correct way.

28:31She was the one involved doing the flagrant and everything else. Voice, what do you think? Once again, I guess Mr. Wilson and I were on the same page regarding the play itself. It's just the commentary after all the drama went through, and then you decided to use what you said, which I probably got kicked out because of white privilege. I thought it was very unnecessary, to be honest with you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the key. We're all necessary. I'm with the two of you. You're athletes playing a sport that you love. Squadron play. Like Mr. Wilson says, lays them up, give her your all. And I like what you said, Mr.

29:17Wilson. They keep shooting themselves in the foot over and over and over again. you know what i mean that you know if instead of bettering the brand you're trying to just throw it away you know i mean it's not worth it um if you have your own opinion damn wait until after the season or do it on your own time don't use that platform okay to get into politics you know what i mean one thing that i'm never gonna do me i don't get into politics i may have my views here and there but i never discuss it with anybody because everybody's right and nobody's wrong so So don't use the platform to go out there and say it publicly.

29:54Wait until you get home to tell your homegirls, whatever it is, after the season. But I just see it wrong. That she brought politics into sports. I really dislike that thing, man. I don't like it at all. You know, talking about getting on the way, now it seems like a new avenue, I guess, of getting on the way with the WNBA itself. I don't know if it's a message of political standards or social standards by having former NBA players announcing that they're going to enter the 2027 draft. And that includes Ennis Cantor Freedom and Royce White. Those are the two that I got out of some information over the line.

30:41But it's being reported that the WNBA commissioner will have a review to understand and the wording of what a woman is within the WNBA range. And hopefully, in my opinion, and I said it before, I'm going to sound like a broken record. I got nothing against the transgender community. But guys, you need to create your own league. and leave the ladies alone, okay? Let the ladies play the ladies and let the guys or the transgender community play against each other and you let the boys play at the NBA level. That is my opinion. One more thing I'm going to add to this one, and people might not agree with this one, is you know how you got little league teams and suddenly you have a girl coming into the team?

31:36I will cut that off. and especially with the development or the starting point of the Women's Professional Baseball League. Start doing leagues for the little girls to play Little League Baseball and all the other categories all the way to high school, college, and hopefully they make it to the World Baseball Professional League for the ladies. And that should be the path for sports. but this thing that you know uh and they keep pushing and pushing and i'm going to ask you both uh mr wilson do you think this is a social agenda or this is a political agenda or is both of them and why they pushing that particular situation so far and and so consistently let's put it that way and which situation are you talking about the little league are you talking No, no, no, no, no, the transgender world, you know, with having the players wanted to cross and wanted to play in the ladies sports.

32:34You know, we had it at the swimming before. There's been boxing is being talked about that situation during the Olympics, if I'm not mistaken. And now we have the WNBA with having these two names that I just mentioned before that they want to cross and be able to be on the 2027 WNBA draft, former NBA players. I don't know whether or not it's political. I don't feel like it's so much political. I feel like this is more of a social trajectory that's happening here. where not just individuals, but, you know, Fortune 500 companies want to be more inclusive to make sure that, of course, they're trying to protect their dollars as well, because now you have more people who have family members, friends, nieces, nephews, et cetera, who are transitioning, and they want those individuals to have a platform, to have a space to exist within this within this um um society so they want to make sure that there's safe places for those individuals to be and i get that yeah um but we have to think about it from we're talking sports so we have to think about it from a competitive standpoint we can't we can't think of it like well they don't have a place to go well the women didn't always have a place to go they had to create their own league Correct.

34:10I mean, the WNBA didn't always exist. So they had to build a league. I think it started with what, maybe four or eight teams. I forget what it was. And it was a slow, gradual, progressive growth to the league. And I think that if we're going to do that, if we're going to create this space, then we need to go about those manners to go about offering them a space to play. I don't think it's political. I think it's more just where society is kind of headed. But just to be facetious, you know, I mean, let's say that I identify as a 10 year old kid. So I'm going to go out there on Saturdays and literally I'm going to suit up and just beat the crap out of the little kids on a Saturday.

34:52You know, I mean, like ultimately, where do we draw the line with what you identify as? Because I can identify as a kid at heart. But that doesn't mean that I go and join an optimist team. and become the next coming of Lawrence Taylor, where I'm just rushing through the middle and just smacking kids around. Ultimately, there's a space for me, whether it be semi-pro league or something like that, but it doesn't mean that you can just encroach on other spaces. And I think that the transgender community and all of those who are supporting the transgender community are encroaching on the women of the WNBA.

35:30They've worked really hard to get to where they are. And if the transgender community wants to build something, I'm okay. And I'm all down to support them and build it with them. Yeah, yeah. But they can't curve over into another lane that has worked so hard to establish something. Yeah, when The Voice and I, we talked about this situation. It's been for weeks now. I said, look, guys, make your own league. I got no issues. Go ahead and make it. And I hope it becomes interesting that we love the way you guys play or whatever you identify as, that you give us a good and other segment of sports. Let's put it that way, okay?

36:11To your point that you feel like a kid at heart doesn't mean that you can go and play with the kids. But, by the way, I put us on a flag football tournament ages 7, 8, and 9. Yeah. Hey, listen, I'm going to go out there. I'm going to look like Terrell Owens, Papa. There you go. I got my big offensive lineman right over there, and I'm going to be the quarterback. Hey, listen, I'm going to be doing – I'm going to run my 9.9 on the 40, and baby, look, Heisman Trophy. You know, that type of thing. Voice, anything you want to add to this situation with WNBA having these two NBA players? I don't know if there's more, but at least these are the two that I got today that they say that they want to be available.

36:58for the 2027 WNBA draft. Yeah, man. I mean, you guys have said it all, man. I mean, there's not much left to say. And again, it's the same thing. I mean, they should make their own league. You know what I mean? They're going to have some type of following, okay? I'm pretty sure of it. But just to go into a league and, you know, try to put it with, look, if you were born a man, you were born a man. If you were born a woman, you were born a woman. now obviously men we got stronger genes than women so of course if they go out and step out on the court they're going to dominate doesn't mean that they're going to be the best players on the court they're going to dominate simply because they're stronger they're faster the genes a man's genes is way better i don't want to say better but way faster stronger than a woman i mean we all know that it's scientifically proven so i just don't think it's fair you know for them to be allowed to go ahead and play and just say, oh, man, I'm the bad.

37:55You see what I'm doing right here, right now? Well, if you couldn't do it in the NBA, of course you're going to be able to do it in the WNBA. Correct. You know, so I just don't think it's – they should do it only, like you guys say, man. Look, one thing is not getting on the way of the Lakers is the$12 billion that they got today. The team was sold for$12 billion. Not millions. Can we get a million? Like with the B, like Lifetime Concussion Protocol loves to say. With the B. What do you like about that acquisition, Mr. Wilson? You know,$12 billion. It's a record set for any franchise in any sport, I believe.

38:37I could be wrong, but I believe that that's what it is right now. And then I'm going to ask you another question because there was a rumor out there that Jerry Jones said that he might consider selling the team. But we'll get into that. But what do you think first about the Lakers getting this and the Buss family will be out of there and there's going to be a new regiment within the Lakers when it comes to ownership? And what a coincidence that after they fire LeBrun, they get$12 billion. I mean, it is what it is. It's the fact. So what do you have to say about that one, Mr. Wilson? Yeah, it's the most in sports history, unless Jerry Jones goes ahead and sells the Cowboys.

39:25We all know that they're going for more than 12 Billy. But I think that it's kind of bittersweet because the Buss family has been a part of the National Basketball Association for such a long time. And you expect like the, in New York, the Maras and the, you know what I mean? And, and, and the, for the Steelers, the Roonies, you expect these, these franchises to always be run by these families because these are what you call like sports, sports deities to some extent. You know what I mean? Like these are just royal families, monarchies. Oh, yes, they are. They are. You know, so I'm looking forward to see what's coming next.

40:10I can't predict because I don't know. I don't have any information about the new ownership team that's coming in. I'm going to tell you the two names. It's Josh Kushner and Bob Iger are going to buy the Lakers for$12 billion. Not millions, billions of dollars. Yeah, I don't know who they are. um but too rich guys that's for sure too rich guys for me it's more bittersweet because you always expect you associate the lakers with the buses and that's that's yeah that is true uh voice uh how you feel about that one there you know having you know new ownership coming into the lakers is it coincident that the sale happened after the broom is gone or this is just something that because let me tell you this is not something that just happened last week would you like to buy the lakers for 12 billion dollars no this had to be a long type of negotiation going back and forth until they said okay we agree this is the tag you paint that tag here we go yeah i mean i we can't speculate if it was you know like the bronc thing that they got rid of him or whatever it is i don't know who knows i mean we were not in the locker room we were in and you know in the negotiations or talks or whatever uh but what i can say is 12 billion i mean that's a hell of a lot of money um but you know what i'm not surprised because everything in life is going up you know what i mean like even 20 30 years ago that the lakers would have been worth maybe maybe a billion you know if anything uh but everything goes up fellas it's a fact, right?

41:52But Mr. Wilson, I'm with you, man, because, you know, Lakers is an iconic franchise. And I thought about Mr. Buzz, you know, the family at least, you know, taking it on, you know, generation after generation. So it's kind of surreal that they sold it. But it remains to be seen, you know, who's going to take over. There's going to be a lot of changes within that team, you know, front office and everything. So it's going to be interesting to see. but the name itself, fellas, Lakers. Oh, yeah. That's an iconic team. You know what I mean? They haven't done much lately, but it's an iconic name. You know what I mean?

42:28It's not like you're saying the Orlando Magic or the Hornets or, you know, these are the Lakers. Oh, they're making their money back. Trust me. They're making their money back. Oh, yeah. You know what was – it was ironic that someone from the experts made the comment that you know the the schedule this year basically don't have the Lakers on opening night and why LeBrun was playing for them was on opening night every time and now that they believe Silver the way he made the schedule he made it favorable to have more coverage of LeBrun are he saying that LeBron is bigger to probably the most iconic or second most iconic franchise in NBA history?

43:20That's between them and the Celtics. I think it's a little bit ridiculous. And I've said it before. I criticize Silver up and down. And to me, he's the worst commissioner that I've ever seen, not just at the NBA, probably in all sports. That's my take on Silver. If this is true with the comments that came from the experts regarding that take. Mr. Wilson, you feel the same way I do or you feel a little bit differently and you think that, you know, the way they created the schedule and having LeBrum in his four-loaded team is the right way to go ahead and put that product in there instead of, you know, the young teams thinking that that's going to be your, I guess, your way to bring fans back, having him as the face?

44:16Well, he's been the face for 20-plus years, going into 24 years. He draws, regardless of how anybody feels about LeBron, LeBron is a generator of income. and Adam Silver didn't even release the NBA schedule until he knew where LeBron was going to go. The primetime. Beat your move. What's that? Beat your move. But anyway. The guy's a businessman and he's an engine for generating revenue. What do you mean? I'll let you get the floor back. No, no, no, no. You keep going. You keep going. I'm listening to you. I'm not saying your comment is bad. I'm saying the decision made by Silver is. That's what I meant with that.

45:06I'll give you a second to kind of, but I think it's a good decision. If you're trying to generate revenue, if you're trying to generate ratings, which is what they're trying to do, even though the ratings are slumping quite considerably, the fact of the matter is that LeBron only helps those things. He doesn't necessarily hurt them, especially this possibly being his last year. I don't think it is. I think he's going to go for 25. 30. It's probably going to be 30 years. Right now you have to think about the Lakers, and Luka Doncic may not even be healthy come opening day. So how would that impact the Lakers and them being in the primetime spot, et cetera?

45:48So I don't think it's a bad move. I think that LeBron James has done a great job generating revenue over the past 23 years for the NBA. and that's the reason why they put him at the forefront. He's the engine. Wow. I would have OKC, you know, playing the Knicks. No, that's a small market. Oh, wow. OKC, nobody's worried about them in November. Nobody cares. Philadelphia is a big market now, suddenly? Or because he's there, he's now a big market? Well, Philadelphia is a big market. Yeah, it's one of the big markets. It's not L.A., it's not Boston, it's not New York, But Philly's up there when it comes to market size.

46:29Wow. I'm hurt. You come back and you come with all this information that confuses our fans. I'm just kidding. I hope if they're sports fans, they can follow this. This is as simplistic as it gets. No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't, especially for me. It doesn't get that simple. But anyway, Voice, what do you think with that decision and the comments that were made by the experts regarding the commission of silver making that decision and making the schedule the way it is now with open night between the Sixers. Oh, wait a second. 70 CCs against the New York. New York? No? New York what? New York. The season hasn't started yet.

47:15Come on. Come on. To our fans. You know why he actually calls the Knicks? Just because they won the championship. He decided not to call them any, but he does call them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, well, yeah. But listen, I told you, as the second the season starts, it's back to the old ways. Now, Mr. Wilson, sports pod's not going to like what I got to say. I have to agree with Mr. Wilson here. Oh, we're back to the umbilical cord. Twin Flames, Twin Flavors, you know? Who else are you going to put, Sports Pods? Who are you going to put? I would have done SGA against New York. Nobody cares about SGA.

48:02Or I would have brought the Timberwolves with Edwards and Mellowball. Nobody cares. Oh, yes, we do. We do care. Nobody cares over LeBrum, to be honest with you. Oh, my goodness, of course. Okay, four options in the team, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. All right, let me give it back to Bobby. So here's my thing. You see the two of you going back and forth, right? That's what the ABA wants. There's a lot of people that want to see the Brown fail. Lots of people. There's lots of people that want to see him succeed in year 24. What does that bring? They still going to watch. They still going to watch.

48:44because people want to see him fail, and then a lot of other people want to see him succeed. So that brings ratings, which means money for the NBA. It's that simple. To the haters, I'm the haters. Whether you like me or you love me or you hate me, as long as you're watching, baby. Oh, you trying to be like Ric Flair? Oh, whoo! No, I'm just kidding. So, you know what I mean? It's like, and that's what the NBA loves, man. It's like, you think they care? You guys are killing me. You know something? Take another vacation. Go back to Italy, Greece, and France. Hey, listen. Sports Pops, I know you know what we're talking about.

49:30You have to listen to reason. This is reason. Reason? It's about it. It's insanity. Insanity. That's all it is. From a business standpoint, it makes complete sense. It's about ready. Okay. It's about ready. Let me tell you something real quick. There was a Nicaraguan boxer, okay, Ricardo Mayorga. That guy was completely crazy. He had no technique, but he had these two hands like a knockout of bull. And he used to take a lot of punches. You know what he used to do at the press conferences? He used to talk so much crap, so much shit, that people bought the day on pay-per-view back in the day. and I can assure you that because I knew a lot of people that hated his guns because they told me because I'm Nicaraguan.

50:16Yeah. I don't remember if he was... I don't know if it was Koto or Felix Trinidad, but he said something about the wife in one of the press conferences. Koto, yeah, yeah. It was crazy. Crazy stuff. But see what I'm saying? So a lot of my friends used to go, man, listen, man, you're Nicaraguan, man, but you know what, bro? That guy is this and that. And I'm going to buy the print of you because I'm going to see him get knocked out. Same thing. The NBA. You got bronze haters, and then you got people that love them. That brings great teams. You see what I'm saying? It's simple. It's all about money.

50:53Not for the love of the game, I guess. Thank you, guys. Thank you for your little take on this situation. Hey, hey, hey. The$12 billion, can they throw a million arm away? It's not like they're going to miss it. You know what I mean? 200 ,000 and we'll be happy here, you know? 250. 250. You say love for the game, but, hey, it's just like women. Love don't pay the bills. Damn. Damn, Mr. Wilson. Oh, you know. Must be the money. Must be the money. Oh, wow. Be the money. There we go. Hey, let's go into the Dallas Cowboys neighborhood. And finally, they're making some news. And it has to do with the one and only Quinan Williams.

51:47And that big-ass contract for three years,$105.9 million,$101 million guaranteed, 63.5 due at the signing. how you feel Mr. Wilson with this signing and how you think your wide receiver is feeling after he got the franchise tag and this guy got paid

52:18I'm feeling all right about it truthfully I wish that we maybe would have given it another year but defensive tackle has been a struggle for the Cowboys in terms of running or the defensive running game or being able to stop the run, should I say. So he's definitely a needed piece. He played very well last year. Hopefully that play continues. It is a lot of money, $101 million guaranteed. That's basically, you might as well just give them the 105.9. They should have went and did the Deshaun Watson type of contract, all fully guaranteed. I mean,$2 million difference between the 101 and the 103.9.

53:07That's just, you know. And no, no, the one that got me,$63.5 million due at signing. I mean, damn. How's your wide receiver feeling? Now you asked, yeah, how is George Pickens feeling? I don't know this for a fact, but from everything that I've heard, guys in the NFL, they don't hate on other guys getting the bag. So I don't think that it necessarily impacts him in terms of whether or not he's going to get paid or not. George Pickens is going to go out there. He's going to ball this year, and he knows he's going to get paid, whether it's by the star or whether it's by somebody else, depending on what he does on the football field this season.

53:53And I think that's where his mindset is. I don't think that he's necessarily saying, wow, I want to be a cowboy for the rest of my career. I think he's saying, okay, give me the franchise tag. I'm going to bet on myself. I'm going to go out there and prove it. And one of these 32 NFL teams is going to pay me a king's ransom for my services. and I think that that's where his mindset is. I don't think it's necessarily with being with the Cowboys. I don't think that he's only played one season there. I don't think that he has ties to the – he doesn't long to be a Cowboy like that. So he's just trying to get paid, and I don't think he's affected by it, honestly.

54:32Okay. Now that we got – we're talking about football, the National Football League. And I'm sorry, I was kind of lost getting my nose. It's about time with the no time that has no part time. And by the way, I'm going to call you out. Top fun. I just heard that you just signed up for another bowling league next week. Don't say that. Yes, he did. Yes, he did. Damn skippy, I'm going to say it. Damn skippy. So I'm looking for someone to replace the segment. It's about time. because... Don't do that. Don't do that. Hold on. Tell me that he gets paid if he wins the tournament or something. Well, no.

55:21The way they have to pay for the tournament all season, by the time they finish third, fourth, I think they got to win it all to make like$200. They get a pot. Yeah, they get a pot, but you'll be paying your fees all during the weeks. And these things sometimes take 20 weeks to end it. So there we go, brother. Thank you very much. It's about time, you know. But since we're talking about the National Football League, this week we're doing the AFC and NFC North. Since Mr. Wilson is back from, wee-wee, pizza-pizza, or gyroland, Who do you want to talk about first? The AFC or the NFC? Flip a coin.

56:17It's your call. Come on, man. I'm letting you. You're coming back. I'll give you the welcome arms, you know, coming to the show. And you're throwing it back at me. Let's go AFC. AFC. There we go. And that includes the Baltimore Ravens, the Bengals, Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Cleveland Browns. Okay AFC North, Baltimore Ravens We know Lamar Jackson Mr. MVP And then we got King Henry As the running back Flowers as your number one receiver Mark Andrews, of course You know, great tight end And, you know, doing the things that he does But Minter is the new head coach It's a Harvard mentality I don't care what anybody fucking says to come out here and say, oh, no, he's a different guy.

57:11No, man, his tutelage was done by John, and then he went with Jim at Notre Dame and then was the defensive coordinator for the Chargers and now comes back to Baltimore. Oh, he's a different guy. No, no, he's not. He's a Harvard guy. So basically they keep the Harvard culture within the Ravens. And then, you know, their safety, Kyle Hamilton, Raquan Smith is the linebacker, and then we got Mande, Mandebueke, defensive tackle.

57:53Can Lamar Jackson stay healthy? That's the big question, Mr. Wilson. Do you think he stays healthy? And if he does and everybody else, you know, the main core stays healthy, this is a team that can you know compete for the AFC title and go to the Super Bowl but you know Can he stay healthy? Man, that's a tough question. It's the National Football League. It's such a physical game. He's getting up there in age. He's 30 years old now. So the years of the things that we saw early 20s Lamar Jackson do, we have to start kind of like teetering those expectations. Now, is he still going to be one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in the league?

58:43Absolutely. but can he carry this on for as for how for how many more years can he carry this on you remember john elway used to be one of those um quarterbacks who could run a little bit and everything same thing with randall cunningham they were good with their feet stretching yes correct as time goes along the steve young's and the brett fars there comes a time where you've got to sit within that pocket because if not these other young kids are getting fast too yeah they are and they're getting stronger and when they hit you those bones that are now in their 30s don't take to it as well as they did in their 20s um so if he can become a little bit more of a pocket quarterback not saying not to use his legs but i do feel like he does need to get to a point where he's starting to run less and throw a little bit more stretch plays and things like that but he can't be that guy who's who's running 30 40 yards up the field I think that if he can stay healthy going back to the original question I think that the sky is the limit for the for the Baltimore Ravens you saw how I rode their their bandwagon last year to no avail the wheels and everything were falling off of it, and I was still hanging on for dear life.

1:00:09But I think that this guy is that good where if he's healthy and if he can kind of change his game a little bit, the Baltimore Ravens would be a contender. Really quick, Mr. Wilson, before we give the mic to the voice, can you trust his accuracy to be staying more in the pocket versus, you know, improvising and then make things happen? I never question his arm. I never questioned. I think that a lot of times he's ended up in very bad situations, sometimes due to his own merit or due to his own cause. But, you know, you've got playoff games where Zay Flowers is fumbling on the one yard line because he's stretching the ball out.

1:00:52Mark Andrews is dropping the ball. You know, I mean, there's been so many different things. If Isaiah likely wore a size 13 and a half instead of a size 14 and his toe wasn't on the back line of the end zone. Like an omen. We've got a totally different conversation. So there's been a lot of bad luck that has come along with it, in addition to Lamar and some of his teammates putting themselves in some pretty bad places. Okay, voice. Since we heard the take on Lamar Jackson by Mr. Wilson, you feel the same or do you feel a little bit different? Or do we have, once again, twin flames, twin flavors with the umbilical cord?

1:01:38Oh, boy. Hey, pretty much because, well, hold on. It's true. I mean, 30 years old is not the same as 24, 25, even 26. So Lamar needs to change his game a little bit. I mean, he's excellent running the football. I mean, they even got plays designed for him to do it. I'm not saying that he should stop 100 % because that's a huge part of his game. But he needs to be a little bit smarter if he's going to run that ball. And if I'm the coach, I wouldn't put him in that many situations running the ball. With that said, true, if he stays healthy, the Ravens, I'm going to say this, they will make the playoffs if he's healthy.

1:02:18Now, what they're going to do in the playoffs, what's the history behind it? They always choke. Yeah, correct. They always choke. And one favorable thing for them this year, they got the ninth easiest schedule this year. So that's going to be something very favorable on their side. So we'll see how all that's, you know, transformed into once they get into the field and start playing, you know, against the Steelers, the Browns, and, of course, you know, the Cincinnati Bengals. Talking about the Bengals, Joe Bore, I mean, It's all about health. They got the third easy schedule this year. So I agree with the voice that Baltimore and Cincinnati should be making the playoffs.

1:03:07From within this division. Because schedule matters. Look what happened to New England last year. I think they had the third or fourth easy schedule in that favor into wins. Now, this year they got one of the hardest schedules, and a lot of the experts are saying they're not going to go ahead and make the playoffs. So we'll see what happens with that one. I think that, you know, I don't want to get off the AFC North, but, you know, Brable is a good coach with his assistant Rossini. Oh, I'm sorry. Brable will be doing his thing in New England. But let's go into Cincinnati. Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, Tee Higgins, Chase Brown, you know, they got a great core.

1:03:52I think they're still lacking a good, good tight end, even though they have the former Dolphin as their tight end in there. And then Trey Henderson, Logan Wilson, and, you know, I think when it comes to that passing, you know, and I think Trey Henderson is not there anymore. If I'm not mistaken. He went to Baltimore. He went to Baltimore, yeah. So he went to the other side, you know. So I see Baltimore winning the division and Cincinnati making the wild card, in my opinion. And I think the Steelers and the Browns will not make the playoffs. And that's just pure opinion on my side. I mean, I love me, Aaron Rodgers, but, you know, Father Time is undefeated.

1:04:44Let's put it that way. What is your take on the Cincinnati Bengals' voice? How far do you think they can go? They're going to go as far as Joe Boros' health. You know, if he stays healthy, once again, if he stays healthy, the sky's the limit. You know what I mean? They have a pretty damn good team. And I agree with you a million percent. Those two teams are going to come out of that division. And unfortunately for the Browns, it's still going to be the same thing. You know what I mean? And the Steelers, too. Although I would like to see, I don't know about you, but I would like to see Aaron Rodgers even make the playoffs since last year.

1:05:26He's one of the better quarterbacks in the history of the game. It would be a nice story. That's what I'm trying to say. But I don't think they have a chance. So, yeah, if Joe Boros stays healthy, once again, just like the Baltimore Ravens, sky's the limit. Yeah. Sky's the limit with this team. For me, the Cincinnati Bengals are the New England Patriots of last year. Easy schedule. You got some amazing receivers. You got better receivers than what New England had last year. No disrespect to Diggs and the rest of those guys there, but, you know, when you have Higgins and you got Jamar Chase, oh, my God, you know.

1:06:02And then you got Chase Brown coming out of the backfield, catching everything and running, you know, effectively. I think that's a combination and an easy schedule. They could easily be converted into what happened last year with the Patriots. And it would be funny if they go to the Super Bowl and they go against the Rams, the favorite ones, and that Aaron Donald would be playing for the Rams and have that rematch where the Rams won that Super Bowl in L.A. at Suffice Stadium. So is it a done deal, Aaron Donald? Well, he's been practicing with a helmet on, so that tells me he's coming in. He's coming in.

1:06:44I will have no doubt. When you have one practice and you go, okay, look, I'm done. But when you have two, three, four practices with a helmet on and you're willing to, you know, get physical in there, that's not about, oh, I'm still thinking. This is about, yeah, I am going to do it. We just, you know, work in the details of the contract or whatever it might be, and we go from there. But, yeah, Miles Garrett and Aaron Donald on the same defensive line. Jesus, Lord. Sick. I'll be calling, you know,

1:07:21gunshot, you know, all the time. I will not go up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no. I will not. If my coach says, you know, go ahead and hand off. No, no, I'm not doing that, coach. I'm going, you know, and I'm going to do it 20 feet from the line. Yeah, if I'm a quarterback on the opposing team and my coach says, hey, get on the center, I'm going to go just fire me right now. I'm not going near the center. Matter of fact, I'm going to go in shotgun position, and like you said, like a punt, I'm going to be 15 yards behind. Yeah, yeah, 15, 20 yards back, shotgun, and somebody tried to catch the football because we're not doing anything else.

1:08:02did you happen to see the video of Aaron Donald working out with The Rock oh yes I saw that one yeah yeah yeah that's just two animals in the weight room two animals in the weight room this is just unreal wow I can see Aaron Donald going to WWE later on hey you never know yeah that's one phone call done That's it. But anyway, back into the business of NFL. Mr. Wilson, how do you feel about the Cincinnati Bengals' chances this year?

1:08:44Everybody knows they have a high octane offense. Joe Burrow, you guys have already discussed. You said everything that needs to be said about that. They've got two great wide receivers. I think that on the defensive side is really where I'm anticipating to see a better Cincinnati Bengals team. And I think that if they can somehow get better on the defensive end and give their offense more opportunities, of course, Burrow has to stay healthy. But the signing of Dexter Lawrence was a big time signing. I'm surprised New York let him go. but I'm sure that the Cincinnati Bengals are happy to have him.

1:09:30The kid's still 28 years old and can still play at a high level, three-time Pro Bowler. And then they've also got Jonathan Allen, who they got from Minnesota last year. Well, played for Minnesota, was a two-time Pro Bowler with the Washington Commanders. So I think that they've done a good job on that defensive line, trying to build a good foundation in the middle. And then they got the kid from Seattle, Boyamafe, the defensive end as well. So I think that they made some pretty good additions. Of course, losing Trey Hendrickson hurts. But I think that they've done some good job, a good job on that defensive line, solidifying it.

1:10:10And I'm looking forward to seeing a better Cincinnati Bengals defense this year to go along with that high-powered offense. So let's see how it goes. Yeah, for the Steelers, unfortunately, is a very veteran team. First year, they're going to be playing without a coach. You know, we have a new coach, former Dallas Cowboys coach now, being the new head coach of the Steelers. Why are you shaking your head like that? That man went, I believe, back-to-back seasons 12-5, if I'm not mistaken. 13-3. 13-3. Oh, look at that. Did he go like 12-5 back-to-back and 13-3? and then he had that one bad year, that's it, and you're shaking your head, you know, this Dallas Cowboys fan, there's something else, you know.

1:11:03Boys, if you had a coach that went 13-3, 12-5, 12-5, and then had it, how you would feel about that coach? Man, listen, man, I want to give him the keys to the damn city. Thank you, sir. Thank you. I'll put you like that. McCartney's a good coach, you know. As a Dolphins fan, I get that. As a Dolphins fan, I understand. You know what I mean? It's been a while. It's been a while. Dolphins. The guy's a proven winner, though. Come on now. Let me ask you this voice. Now that he said, you know, as a Dolphin fan, if the Dolphins happen to relocate to another city, will you follow them to that new city, or will you look for a new team?

1:11:46It's not going to happen. Yeah, it's not happening. I'm asking you. It's not going to happen. If the Dolphins happen to relocate to another city, probably another state for sure, and become the, wow, Oklahoma Dolphins, will you be an Oklahoma Dolphins fan or will you look for a new team? No, I wouldn't look for another team. I would just, I wouldn't be a fan. I'm a fan of the Miami Dolphins. So if they were to move, good luck to them. I will be a fan. I mean, you know, at that point, no, but what I'm saying. That's where you get your divorce? But, well, see, I wouldn't divorce them. They will divorce me.

1:12:30Because they were the ones that would be moving out of Miami. See what I mean? That's how I. You know, this is the shit I got to take from this dude. Because I already do. I will start rooting for, and I already do that, for every single hurricane player in the NFL. I'm not going to take teams. No. I would just stop. I wouldn't have an NFL team. I'm being real here. I wouldn't have an NFL team. Why would I follow them? If they leave the city of Miami, why would I follow them? I just don't get it. Well, we'll see what happens. No, no. They're Miami Dolphins. There's no talk at all of that ever.

1:13:06There you go. That would never happen. There's better chances of me stop eating fritanga than the Dolphins live in Miami. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'll put my money on that one. You know, I think the Dolphins might move out of the city before the day you stop eating Fritanga. There's no freaking way. I was eating it out of my mama's belly. I put it to you like that. There we go, baby. There we go. That's why you came out so small, yeah? Look at you. 6 '7", 310 pounds, pure muscle. He should be in the WWE. He should be in the WWE with Mr. Wilson as tag team champions. and I should be your Paul Heyman.

1:13:49Hey, Sports Pop, I thought he said he should be at the W. I thought he was saying NBA. I'm like, what? No, come on, WWE. I said it clearly. I will never do that to you guys, say that you guys want to be in. Well, wait a second. $300 ,000 a year, minimum salary. Maybe we should all go to the WNBA. I'll tell you this right now. I won't be one of the best in the league. I'll tell you that because those girls can play. Oh, yeah. But I don't care. You know, I'll go in and say, keep me on the bench. Just give me my$300 ,000 a year. I'm fine with that. I can be number 12 on the rotation if you want to.

1:14:30And then maybe after I'm done. I won't steal their roster spots. I'm undeserving of it. I got to tell you. Those girls can play. After I'm done playing for the WNBA, they're going to call me Juwana Man Part 2. I'm telling you right now. Joanna Big Man Part 2. They got to call you because when they see your big 6 '7 frame, 310 pounds of pill muscle. Oh, my Lord. Man, I wish. I'm too old for that now. Yeah, there we go. Guys, after that, we got the Steelers. You know, they're getting old. The new coach is there. I think this is going to be a time to start saying bye to those veteran players, you know, T.J.

1:15:18Watt and the rest of those guys. I think these guys, if they have, let's say, a year or two left and they happen to become free agents, I will try to go into a team that will give me a chance to win a Super Bowl. I'll be honest with you. You know, do the LeBrun. Go somewhere where you may have a better chance to win it. The only difference is I don't want LeBrum to win. You guys can win it. I don't give a shit if you do or not. But guys like that, Cameron Hayward has been there for eternity now. I think this is another guy that eventually is going to have to hang it up. And they'll be first ballot Hall of Famers.

1:16:01But unfortunately, you know, they're not competing for anything. So they will be out of the playoffs, in my opinion. How you feel about that one, Mr. Wilson? And I know you were shaking your head when I said that McCarthy was the new head coach of the Steelers. Again, Aaron Rodgers, I still feel like the guy can play. He had a pretty decent season last year. offensive line was porous at times. I think that if they can protect him with the addition of Michael Pittman Jr., which I love that, that pickup, I think that he's a pretty good wide receiver. Very underrated. Yeah. And it was crazy that they paid the other kids.

1:16:51Yeah. But that's another story. I think partnering him with Friermuth and DJ or DK Metcalf, who had an issue last year on the sidelines, but again, still one hell of a wide out. I think that the offense can be serviceable. We got to see what the defense is going to do. The defense is young, but they've got a new defensive coordinator coming in who they've got a lot of hope for. We'll just have to see. I think that Aaron Rodgers can keep them competitive. It wouldn't surprise me if they somehow sneak in as like a seventh seed or something like that. But I don't have high expectations or lofty goals for him.

1:17:39Understandable. And now let's go into the Cleveland Browns and voice. It seems like Deshaun Watson is making his comeback, and he'll be the quarterback starting for the Cleveland Browns. Do you think he lasts and then maybe Shador or even Gabriel will get a chance through the midpoint of the season? Or this is something where the Browns are saying, hey, we want to make our money back, I guess, in a sense. Yeah, I mean, so I think they said he's going to start the first game and then Shador is going to start the second. And I guess they're going to give chances to their quarterbacks. But I think you got some there, Pops, because, man, when you give them all that money, guaranteed money, and my God, I wanted the same agent.

1:18:23I wish I played ball back in the day because that would have been my agent. I don't know what the hell was said in that meeting, but holy crap. But with that said, I mean, what else are you going to do? You're paying all this money to this guy. I mean, how many games has he played as a Cleveland Brown? A handful, if anything? So it's like, hey, you know what? We gave you the world. Get your ass out there and try to do something. You know, nobody expect the Browns to do anything again for another year again. You know what? Might as well just throw him out there and just say, hey, man, go earn your money.

1:18:57You know, go try to win a couple games, and basically that's it. Don't tell Chino, though, because he's going to be pissed. Yeah, I mean. He's going to be the starting quarterback. Got it. You know, his boy, the old Sanders will have to wait on the back end. I think he'll be the number two quarterback on the Cleveland Browns chart. But let me ask you, do you think that Watson should be QB1? Because I look, even at this point, I think Shador should be QB1. And just let the kid go out there and see what's up for an entire season. I'm going to go with what I have seen on the tape. This is me. And I think that, believe it or not, he still looks better than the other two.

1:19:45At this time. Right, right. What he will look like next year, what he'll look like once he gets hit for the first time, for real, that's another variable that we'll need to be witnessing to see what's going to happen. But right now, Deshaun Watson, in my opinion, looks better than any of the other quarterbacks with the deep throws, over the shoulder, backside. I mean, let's be honest. He, you know, if you get, like we said, if we get 50 % of Aaron Donald, a lot of trouble. Well, if you get 50 % of what Deshaun used to do, then Cleveland will have a better chance to win more games than a Spectre.

1:20:27I'm not saying they're going to the playoffs, surprise the world with, you know, winning the division, upsetting anybody, or getting a wild card. But at least if you thought that they were going to win three games, they might win six or seven. You never know if he plays at that caliber. But if he doesn't, then we know exactly what to expect. Probably halfway point through the season and go, look, we already made all the money. You know, we tried to make as much money back. You're not making it. You're trying to use this BS philosophy that if he plays, you're making your money back? Not really.

1:21:01Is this the last year of his contract? I believe so, sir. I believe. Oh, wow. This is the last one here. Okay. So they wanted to get something out of it. Yeah, so basically, I guess, look, unless he burns up the league, that's it for him. He's not coming back to this team. No, no, he's not. And who knows is going to give him a shot out there. Like, I don't see a team signing him. I'm going to say this. Kirk Cousins was able to get$100 million guaranteed with Atlanta. It was a$160 million contract. And Cousins is a good quarterback, but I'll take Deshaun Watson prime over any year of Kirk Cousins.

1:21:52Deshaun was a highlight reel. 100%. Badass. Badass. Well, what year are we talking about, guys? Oh, man. Woo! He came into the league. Yeah. I mean, it's not like he was a scrub. What year are we talking about, guys? I can tell you guys in 2004, 2005, I had these abs that were just shredded. Man, bro, I would take off my shirt at the beach, and you know what I mean? I would walk around like, hey, listen. We need to understand that that Deshaun is gone. And this is a failed project. Regardless of how he can win seven games this year, he can win eight games this year. This was a failed experiment by the Cleveland Browns.

1:22:43Just like the Miami Heat when they had the – Which is the reason why I disagree with both of you. You're not getting any of this money back. It's time to establish what your future is going to be. You both just said it. Deshaun Watson is not coming back to the Cleveland Browns. He's probably not going to be a starter anywhere in this league because nobody's going to trust him because all he did was steal money for the past four or five years. So at this point, if you're the Cleveland Browns organization, in my opinion, you're not banking on lost or trying to get return on investment on a lost on a lost project.

1:23:20That's a lost cause. Move towards the future. Try to see what you have and whether or not you need to go into the 2027 draft drafting a quarterback. I'm going to give you one spot that if Deshaun plays well, I'm not saying great, well enough, he could be on that roster, and that's the Atlanta Falcons. Mark my words on that one. Because if you wanted to give an opportunity to Tua, definitely you give it to Deshaun Watson. That's showing you the last tape that he does with the Cleveland Browns, in my opinion. and I'll take Kirk Cousins over Deshaun Watson any day. At least the guy plays. What? Oh, my God.

1:24:03What water you were drinking there in France? Also, you would prefer a guy who gets rubbed down in masseuse halls and who doesn't play seasons? I'm not talking about his private life, you know, whatever he wanted to do. No, no, no, no, no, no. What we're talking about is what the last four seasons have looked like for Deshaun Watson. Would you take that over what you've gotten from Kirk Cousins over the past four seasons? No, I need to see what I'm going to get out of Deshaun Watson's last season, which is this one with the Cleveland Browns. If he's good enough for me... So you would be okay with paying all of that money to Deshaun Watson?

1:24:37No, no, no, I would not pay him the same amount of money that Cleveland did. I imagine it would be something substantial in the$15 to$20 million and he can sign for two years with Atlanta. You know, with BJ and Robinson in London and Kyle Pitts, a quarterback that can play like Deshaun, will be an improvement on that quarterback room, in my opinion. I haven't seen that guy since 2020. So I don't even remember what it looks like, to be quite honest. We might as well bring Mike Vick back. No, and I love his new company called Happy Endings. It's a very good one. Very good company. He opened it up.

1:25:21Yeah, yeah. But, fellas, let's be real. What's the one position that every NFL team looks for? I mean, unless you're set at quarterback, you're always looking for a quarterback. How important is it, a backup quarterback nowadays? It's really, really important, right? Very important. So what I'm saying is, what I'm saying is, if Deshaun Watson plays, like Paul, sportsman said, if he plays well, if he plays good enough for him to, you know, all the teams are going to go, wait a minute, you know what? We can use him. He's not going to get anywhere near what he got with Cleveland. You're right about that.

1:26:01But there's going to be a team out there that's going to give him a chance, maybe not to start, but to be a backup quarterback. If he plays well enough with the Cleveland Browns, again, who's not expected to be anything, yet again, if he plays well and you're a GM and you need a backup quarterback, would you give that guy a shot for cheap? Listen, what I would do is I would prefer to see a Shadour Sanders who works his ass off and goes out there because if I was Atlanta and I need a backup quarterback, I would be looking for the future rather than somebody who's in the past, which is why I say the Cleveland Browns really need to assess.

1:26:44what I understand the Cleveland Browns are going to brown it up. This is what they do. I understand they're going to brown it up. The man is going to brown it up. You know what I mean? But from my standpoint, if you're trying to do evaluations, if you're trying to move your franchise forward, you don't move on with a failed project, and you try to see about the kids that you drafted last year and whether or not these guys can be backups for you, because you already know Deshaun Watson is likely not going to be a part of your organization. For God's sake, Shador was a pro bowler last year. No, I'm not going to ask you that.

1:27:19He was a pro bowler. It was ridiculous how they did that one. Thank you, Daddy. Thank you. I know why you got a problem with him, because you told me the story the other day. Oh, what about? Go for it. Go for it. Go for it. He got an autograph, and he got stiff arms. And that's the reason why he's got a problem with Shador. Now I know. All this time I didn't know. Say it again. He's got to tell the story. What happened when Mr. Wilson and I, we met through the federal government, working for the federal government. We worked at different venues of airports and other facilities and everything else that we want to talk about.

1:28:04I was in Puerto Rico with the same agency that Mr. Wilson and I worked together. And Dion, primetime happens to be going through there. So we made a little stop and we go, hey, can I get your autograph? And all I got from primetime, I'm tired.

1:28:29That's what I got. And it was him and probably two people for his entourage. That's it. Nobody else around. I mean, it was an early, early flight. Yep, that was it. Now, I had the actor from, what was the movie we were discussing? Mission Impossible. No, no, no, no, Colin Farrell, the other one, the black gentleman that acts in Mission Impossible. You gave me the name. Bing Rames. Bing Rames, he comes to me. Let's see how I did this one. I'm not giving autographs right now. And then he just walked away too. He didn't give me the autograph. Now, I got from Tito Trini that and Oscar De La Jolla.

1:29:18Both of them. It was a great time getting those two autographs there. Yeah, but yeah, Dion went and said no. But you know who else? You know who else? That's why he doesn't like Chedoux. You know who else didn't deny me an autograph? Robbie Alomar from Puerto Rico. In Dunedin, Florida. Buen viaje. I went and he was already, you know, they were on spring training. As a matter of fact, I think it was the first or second year of Delgado with the Blue Jays. So I'm there and, you know, I get the autograph from Delgado. I get it from the former shortstop, Alex Gonzalez, Cuban kid that played for them.

1:30:03Didn't make it that far, but he was there. and then he's sitting already with his shirt, you know, but not tucked in or anything like that, and he's just laying on a bench that they had out there. And I started saying Salinas, which is the city from Puerto Rico that Alamar is from. So I'm thinking, hey, I go Salinas, you know, Puerto Rico. I'm going to go, bro. And I go, look, can I get your autograph? Because I got a flight to Puerto Rico tomorrow. and he went and said, buen viaje.

1:30:40That's what I got. Buen viaje. That means have a good flight. Well, I mean, at least he was nice though, right? He could have said, man, I hope the plane, you know, doesn't take off. I mean, at least he was nice. Get the... Damn. He said, buen viaje. Good flight. Have a good flight. That's exactly. And the other one said, I don't have time to give all the reps out here. And primetime was like, I'm tired. I'm tired. Brian said I'm tired. I'm tired. That's all he said. I'm tired. That's why you have the problem with Shador. Oh, okay. I don't have no problem with Shador. I don't think he's the quarterback.

1:31:18I don't think he's the quarterback. Somebody be holding grudges for long as time. No, no, no, no. It's not grudges. What was the word that you used one time? Receipts. That's what. You keep receipts. I keep receipts. Oh, you too, bud. Oh, yeah. Skidouis should have been the number two overall pick last year. But he wasn't. Oh, man. I'm just saying. No. No? You don't think so, boys? No. Only if he had played for the University of Miami, which it was impossible because Cam Ward was the number one overall, and he's the one that played for the Hurricanes. No, no, no, no. No? No, he just did this. No.

1:31:58I mean, maybe in the second or third round. But the number two overall pick, that's a reach. That's reaching, man. I don't know. Let me go ahead and make a phone call really quick because for whatever reason, thank God we don't have the phone. Oh, yeah, he said he – I can hear you. Oh, he's at the office. There we go. Anyway, we got a couple of more teams here. Let's go to the NFC North. We were talking about Shador. That's the reason why we're missing you. You know? Oh, boy. There we go, Chino. But we're not leaving yet. We just want you here for a few minutes. Listen, Chaudhul was last year.

1:32:39This year is Fernando Mendoza. And you know what? I'm just going to say something and leave it here.

1:32:48Wait, LCP, boy. New England Patriots Super Bowl champions, baby. We said it here at the SportsRide Show. What did he say? Super Bowl champions, the New England Patriots. You said it, not me. Anyway, let's talk about the NFC North, and let's start with Coach PlayStation Campbell, Detroit Lions. You got to go. Oh, you got to go? Got to go. Okay, I'll call you in a minute. I said everything I needed to say. Wow. Anyway. It wasn't much. Hey, he's the only time I agree with you today, Mr. Wilson, on that one. Oh, man, hey. You look good, man. You ain't no... Yeah, just because you say a lot doesn't mean you're saying something.

1:33:41Okay, so... Hey, hey. Go for it. Go for it. I thought you were saying he came back vacation just guns drunk. Oh, no, no, no, no. He's on... Two, two, two, two, two, two. Fire. Shots fired. Shots fired. What are you going to do? You're fired. No, no. Okay, just in case. You never know. Let's go with the Detroit Lions and Coach PlayStation Campbell. Jamar Gibbs got the big contract, highest paid running back in NFL history. Got a good, nice contract, 75-plus-something million, a little bit more than B.J. and Robinson in Atlanta, but they're pretty much the same type of contract. Penny Sewell still there as the left tackle.

1:34:36Sam Brown, the wide receiver, tight end, coming back from the grueling injury from last year. Hutchinson is the edge. We'll see what happens with this football team. They got a pretty good easy schedule also. So we'll see how that transforms. Can they be one of the teams make the playoffs out of the NFC boys? They could. Listen, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the only reason why they are going to shock the world, they won't make the Super Bowl is because of the Rams. wow i i i firmly believe it wow i i do wow i think it's finally their time except that the rams are on the way and and to lcp nobody is beating the damn rams nobody nobody's beating nobody not with that team how can you go against them lifetime concussion protocol it's like it's How can you go against the Dodgers?

1:35:47I know, you know, many Gonzalez was saying that they're not going to win it. How can you bet against the Dodgers? We saw it last year. They became an animal as soon as they made the postseason. It was just bam, bam, bam, took care of business. But now they got a better team than last year, just my opinion. Okay.

1:36:09Mr. Wilson, I don't think this team will make the playoffs, in my opinion. Okay? I got a dark horse to win this division. And it's not going to be the Chicago Bears. I think the two teams that made the playoffs this year from this division is going to be the Green Bay Packers and the Minnesota Vikings. What? Get this guy drug tested. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Easy now. Easy now. Easy now. Easy now, you know? Immediately. I said the division. I'm not saying anything crazy out here. But I like the Minnesota Vikings to surprise the world, especially now naming Kyler Murray as their quarterback with Justin Jefferson, Addison, Hawkinson.

1:37:00You got Mason. You have the other running back that used to play for the Packers. I mean, they – Aaron Jones. Aaron Jones. I think they got a good core. That defense with Flores is amazing. It's going to be there. And I think this can be the moment that the Minnesota Vikings surprised the world. But that's another team. But that's another team that is supposed to win a lot of games. And then once they make it to the playoffs, that's it. I mean, they can win the division and probably be out on the wild card round. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying here that they're going to make the NFC championship or anything of that matter, but I think they're going to surprise the season this year and their division.

1:37:54The Bears are having a problem this year. They got the hardest schedule. So we'll see how that team is going to react, and especially, you know. Caleb, Mabel, and Williams. You're back, baby. Maybe leave Williams. back to the throne and see how he progresses. You know, he had a bad rookie season. Then Johnson came in, played very well, made the Bears, you know, beat in the playoffs. And we'll see what happens this year. But I think it's not going to be the same thing as last year. And I don't like the Lions for the fact that the coach, you know, and I think he'll get fired after this year. And I said it last year.

1:38:38Coach Campbell will be fired after this season. Even if they make the playoffs and they go far in it? No. They're not making the playoffs and he's getting fired. Okay. Okay. Look at Mr. Wilson like, oh, my God. You know what? This is a crazy take. I do have to agree with you. No, no, no. I got to agree with you. Like, if they don't make the playoffs, okay, if they have, like, a shitty season or whatever. He gone. You know, Barry. He gone. I think he's gone too. And especially with Mike Tomlin waiting for a new gig? Oh! Oh! I just shot fire to the Detroit Lions ownership and management. But, yeah, if you got a Mike Tomlin that is willing to come out of the sidelines for that one year that he's doing this and says, you know something, with that running back that you have out there, that wide receiver, I think I can do something special.

1:39:39And I don't play PlayStation. I play football, National Football League. I coach that way. And that's the reason I never had a losing season. So don't be surprised. Maybe it's a good thing. If Dan Campbell gets fired, then he can join the, you know, the Cowboys staff in some capacity. Oh, my God. Jesus, shots fired now. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Who's the GM? Who's still the GM for the Dallas Cowboys? Who's still the GM, baby? The greatest owner of all times. Listen, is your fantasy over yet? Somebody wipe this guy up. Is your fantasy over yet? No, it's not over. It's just getting started. Hold on. Hold on.

1:40:24Hold on. Hold on. You're right. My fantasy. Chelsea Green. By the way, I dropped Trish Stratus last week. My new favorite wrestler is Chelsea Green. Woo! How does she take it? Trish? She hasn't sent me an email or a phone call. She has nothing. She's probably broken. Nothing. She's probably brokenhearted, man. No, she's not. She's probably like, who the hell is this sports pops? Whatever. You know, make her your favorite. Who cares? But, yeah, my new favorite one is Chelsea Green. She's the new champion At WWE Yes, Chelsea Anyway Yeah, I think he gets fired And Mike Tomlin is the new head coach Of the Detroit Lions Damn They're the odds in favorite To win the division They're the plus 170 Run out Run out Run out What is this fantasy that we're talking about I'm taking the Vikings.

1:41:31I'm taking the Vikings to surprise the world. And I have the Green Bay Packers. Those are the two teams making the playoffs out of that division. Now, he's not incorrect about the Minnesota Vikings. That's not the reason why I was saying he needs to be drug tested, though he does need to be drug tested immediately. But – If not sooner. Correct. My pushback is the Detroit Lions are making the playoffs. I mean, no matter if you're a hater or what have you with today. No, they're not. It's not. They're making the playoffs. But with the Minnesota Vikings, you do bring up a great point. Because if you remember, the year before last, they had who at quarterback?

1:42:11One Sam Darnold. They were also in the NFC Championship game. No, no, wait a second. It's Sam, no doubt, Darnold here at the SportsRide Show. Sam, no doubt, Darnold. Excellent. Thank you. So they were literally one position away from last year's debacle. Had they not let Sam Darnold walk out the building, it's a good possibility that they would have been competing and possibly won the division over the Chicago Bears last year. So that one position that they are away, I think that they filled it with Kyler Murray, his ability to go off script and stretch plays and allow J.J. to get open. Let me ask you, what was the record for the Lions last year?

1:42:56If I'm not mistaken, 7-10? Was it? Yeah. Voice, can you look what was the record for the Detroit Lions last year? I'm going to give you a rude awakening right now. I know you were still on vacation with that European vacation of yours. So I'm going to give you a rude awakening for you to say that I need me to drug test immediately. Go for it, voice. Bring it on. The voice of reason. Nine and eight. Oh, you got it? Nine and eight? Nine and eight. Nine and eight. Yeah. How much the roster has changed? Yeah. How much has the roster changed? From last year to this year. What's been the great acquisition?

1:43:47that Montgomery went somewhere else. So Jamar Gibbs is going to be the horse. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But let's put it this way. Not too much of a change at the Detroit Lions roster, on the Detroit Lions roster. Forgive me for that one. So for me and a team that went 9-8, maybe go maybe 10-7, or could they go 7-9? Oh, I mean, 7-10. How much has the Packers team changed since last year? Oh, Micah's hurt, by the way. He's not expected back until week six. How much has the Packers team changed? There we go. That's the green light for the Minnesota Vikings. Okay. Yeah, I agree with that. Who was also 9-8 last year.

1:44:36It's not like they had a horrible season. This division was still winnable with Chicago winning 11 games last year. Yeah. Which they're not going to do this year. Chicago doesn't win 11 games this year. They got the hardest schedule in the National Football League. And let me tell you something. That really matters. Yeah, I don't think they repeat the successes of last year. I think that they'll still be pretty good. But we talk about Minnesota last year like they were 1-16. They won nine games. They were 9-8. You know what I mean? With below average quarterback play. which is the reason why I say the Minnesota thing is not far-fetched.

1:45:18Thank you. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Thank you. But the Detroit Lions are not making the playoffs, said by SportsPod here at the Sports Ride Show. Keep a record of this, y 'all. Keep a record of this. Keep it. I'm going to bring that receipt. You know, boys. I'm going to bring that receipt when it comes in. I'm going to go, whoo-wee. He's not making the playoffs. Goodbye, Detroit. Hey, Mike Tomlin, head coach of the Detroit Lions after this season. Mark my words, baby. Oh, you don't think Mike Tomlin could be the head coach of the Detroit Lions, especially if they don't make the playoffs? I'm telling you, they're going to make the playoffs.

1:46:01They're not. I'm telling you, he will be a head coach somewhere. It's not going to be in Detroit. No, no, no. He won't. He won't. Next year, he won't be a head coach. And I'm going to tell you why. Once he lost the two pieces of coordinators, that team went down. When he started with the team, when he started, yeah, I'm talking about PlayStation. When he started the team, they were okay. When those two pieces came in, offensive coordinator Johnson and defensive coordinator, I forget his name, and now with the Jets, even though he's not doing well as a head coach. Aaron Glenn, yeah. But Adam Glenn as a DC, with Johnson as the OC, as soon as they were out, this is what you got.

1:46:45And it's going to get worse this year. So, bye-bye, PlayStation Campbell. Here comes Mike Tomlin, a real coach coming to Detroit, and that can be the guy that brings the Lombardi Trophy to the Motor City of Detroit with the Detroit Lions. You know what? I'm about to say something that I don't like, but I think Mike is heading to the New York Jets. No, I don't think Mike will take that job. I don't think Mike will take that job because they don't have a quarterback. They don't have a quarterback. They don't have to draft him. But he's a brain. He's a proven winner. Why can't he bring the Jets a loser of a franchise?

1:47:26Why can't he bring them up, you know, from ground zero? I don't know. I don't know. I don't think the Jets is the place for him. Oh, wait, wait, wait. It reminds me of Phil Jackson because Phil Jackson went to all the loaded teams. Next. Phil Jackson went and, you know, became the greatest coach in NBA history. Hands down. It's just that simple. Just like LeBron. LeBron goes to, you know, all these. Loaded teams. Oh, it's a fact. Same thing. No, no, he didn't. You know. He went to a team that had the greatest player of all times with one that became a superstar, but he was not even an all-star when he came in.

1:48:06So, you know, it is what it is. You know, I know it's hatred when you come about, talk about Phil Jackson. But anyway, I'm talking about Mike Tomlin going to the Detroit Lions. To your point of him going to the Jets, I like it. Because if Aaron Glenn does get fired this year, that means that they will likely have a top five pick if they let go of. That means that their record will be so bad that they will have a top five pick. And coming out of this collegiate draft, you've got Arch Manning, you've got Dante Moore, you've got Julian Sayan, you've got some good quarterbacks coming out, and that would be Mike Combin.

1:48:47I'm going to tell you, if you think that Aaron Glenn is going to lose his job, and let's say it happens, I'm going to tell you. They were talking about it last year. I'm going to tell you who's going to be the head coach in New York Jets land. Mike McDaniels. Remember my word on that one, too. Oh, my. Oh, he got interviewed last year. So, don't be surprised. Knows the division. Very good guy with the offensive, calling the plays. You have a guy like Aaron Glenn. I mean, Holt, the running back, Wilson at the wide receiver position. I think they drafted a good tight end this year. I mean, don't get me wrong.

1:49:30They're just that one quarterback away. So that could happen. So remember this. For sure, put it on your betting. Mike Tomlin, new head coach of the Detroit Lions after this season is over. There are so many receipts I have to keep from this show. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I'm going to bring you mine, and you're going to be like, what? How the hell did you do that? I got to write this show down. What episode is this? Is this 70? Episode 11, season 3, but number 71 overall. Okay. All right. Go ahead. It'll be here. I'll make a note. I'm here in the office. It'll be on our files. Believe me, it'll be there.

1:50:14And remember, if this takes place, I'll be playing this thing every single day all over social media. And listen, if it doesn't, I'm going to be dropping this thing on Go Wilson Travel. even though it has nothing to do with it. I'm going to be like, yo, this guy's off his rocker. Anyway, voice, who are you liking in the AFC, I mean, NFC North to win the division this year? Well, I just said it, man. I know it sounds crazy, man, but I think the Detroit Lions. That's not crazy. That's the odds and favor. It's not. It's not. I mean, it's just like everybody when they pick a favorite or whatever and they criticize them for picking a favorite.

1:51:01That's all good. In my case, they become winners. In your case, boys, Detroit Lions are going to be losing this year and they will make the playoffs. And Coach Campbell will be going. Well, he can sign a good contract with PlayStation.

1:51:19PlayStation. PlayStation Campbell. They can make a nice addition. to destroy your team's effort to go to the Super Bowl and make it that game. You know? It is what it is. Hey, Chino, can you hear me? Come over here. Oh, Mr. Wilson, before we leave, you got the Detroit Lions, too, to win the division?

1:51:46If I'm going with the dark horse, I'm going with the Minnesota Vikings. Oh, you see, he's with me now. I'm convincing somebody. No, no. No, you didn't have to convince me. When I said get drug tested, I was telling you because you said that the Lions were not going to make the playoffs. That's why I was asking for help for you. I was asking for help because I always want to make sure that my friends get the help they need. I'm going to have lifetime concussion protocol. Listen to this one. My prediction is that the Detroit Lions won't make the playoffs. Coach PlayStation Campbell will get fired and guess who's going to be the new head coach?

1:52:25Mike Tomlin. After one year off the sidelines. I can already see LCP going to the computer and go, Mike Tomlin. He decided to play. He's playing with the microphones now. Oh, man. See what he's doing. LCP? What are you doing? I say that Coach Campbell will be fired by the Detroit Lions after the season. Well, probably before the season is over. Bro, you have issues with that. This guy just digs. Yo, somebody take that shovel out of his hand. Dos, dos, dos. You have issues with that, Coach, bro. Psychological issues. Dad, I'm shoveling. I'm not. You have. It's the reality. It's a little bit weird, you know.

1:53:11It's not weird. It's like, you know when you're like a girl in middle school and you, you know. You cost your team. Look, this is coming from a guy that said that I'm here to hurt everybody. Let's start with the receipts really quick, you know. So let's start with that one. Then, in top of it, you know, I am no analyst, you know. I'm just a reporter. I just report the news, okay. So let's start with the receipts right here, right now. Thank you, boys, for reminding me. I appreciate you. That's why, that's why, you know, anyway. Let's go ahead. You know, that, that, those two receipts right there almost caused the Ryan Clark effect at the Sports Right Show.

1:54:00But we're not going to do that. We talked about it already. This bitch is emotional. Anyway, you had a team that was supposed to go to the Super Bowl. You are ruining that game by your stupid calling on four downs, not once, not twice, three or four times in the same fucking game, and you caused the city of Detroit and all your players within that organization to miss the Super Bowl. Would they have beat the Kansas City Cheaters? I have no freaking idea. But they deserve to be in the Super Bowl before the San Francisco 49ers. Okay? And now, when they lost the two key pieces of offensive and defensive coordinator, team didn't look that good.

1:54:49Now you let Montgomery go to Houston. I know Jamar Gibbs is an animal. Don't get me wrong. But I think that one-two punch was a very good one. And you decided to replace him with who? Isaiah Pacheco that cannot move anymore? that runs one and a half yard, but looks like he runs 30 because he wants to run so hard. Yeah, exactly. There we go. Look, this roster is less than last year. Get ready. Montgomery was gone last year. He was already in Houston last year. No, no, no, no, no. Montgomery played for the Lions last year. He's in Houston for the first time this year. Huh? Yes, sir. Montgomery was there last year.

1:55:37Where, in Detroit? In Detroit. Yes, sir. The 2025 season. Yes, last year he was in Detroit. Go check it out while I'm talking about it. He was in there. Now this is the season that he signed with the Houston Texans. Okay? So, hey, guys, I'm telling you, This Kool-Aid that, you know, that Diddy Kool-Aid that you guys are drinking about Detroit is going to come into reality. And I'm going to bring a nice-ass receipt to Mr. Wilson and to Lifetime Concussion Protocol. Oh, he disconnected the microphone now because I said that. This. There you go. Anyway, guys, boys got Detroit. You got Detroit also, Mr.

1:56:31Wilson. Once again, umbilical cord, you know, twin flames, twin flavors for the two of you. And Chino, get us out of here, man. Get us out of here. Because, you know, these two, they got together again, and they made my blood pressure go up to 250. You might have to take me to the emergency room now. You need to start drinking, Sports Pub. I don't know what the hell I'm going to have to do with these two. but something I'm going to have to do. Come on, Mr. Wilson. I mean, are you getting all serious on me now? What happened? No, I don't know. He's dancing. He loves that song. We got to put you in your place.

1:57:13There we go. You never know. Hey, to all our fans, thank you for tuning in with us here at the Sports Rise Show where every sports story belongs to you.
