LeBron and the 76ers? WNBA All-Star reactions, plus our AFC East and NFC East breakdowns! Big questions, bold predictions, and nonstop debate on The Sportsride Show. 🏀🏈🔥

0:12辻家かよ See if you want to get in trouble with the virtual tease. Dallas Cowboys Neighborhood with Mr. Wilson. It's about time we talk for Maverick and the big crew. Start your engines. The Sports Rise Show is ready.

0:39Welcome, everybody, to the Sports Rise 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 these different stories you know that include this week his favorite he's part of our pit crew the florist shop with el profe profe i think you're a happy guy this week because you know your boy wonder. I don't know what to call him for you. You know. Well, we call him at the show LeBroom, the queen. Oh, yeah, you're right. He has that queen crown. The queen crown. The queen of love. Yeah, the goat. In Spanish, la cabra enferma.

1:28There's definitely the, he is what he is. Yeah, yeah. He deserves every accolade that Prophet says. Yeah. The goat in Spanish, go see the dictionary, la cabra enferma. Definitely that's what he is. But I don't want to start the show with that. I just want to say welcome to the show, guys. I hope you had a great week, a great weekend, and we're ready to go. Tonight, Mr. Wilson, showing his true colors, he rather is to be in Europe with his beautiful wife instead of being with us. And we get it. We get it. Okay? It's fine. It's fine. For tough fun, I don't even know what to say. That's beyond part-time.

2:13I mean, that's almost like quitting time, and it's about time. But I got the voice, and you got to listen to the voices to get in trouble with him, like always. And El Profe with the flower shop, and we'll see who he's going to give flowers to this week. I imagine both flowers are going to be for LeBron, the queen of love. I imagine. I'm just saying. But anyway, guys, let's start with the WNBA All-Star Game. I don't know what to say. Okay, Kalen Clark put on a show starting the game by shooting, you know, three-pointers from the logo. Almost halfway to half court and perfectly, but then there was a lot of ugly basketball display at the game.

3:02it looked one of those pickup games where, you know, we probably would have played better. And like I said, you know, throw a flag because I forgot to say that for this show to make no sense at all, we need director, producer, cheerleader, better known as Lifetime Concussion Protocol, Carlos Flores, better known as Chino. And the reason I bring him in right now is because the fact that I believe if he saw the highlights of that WNBA All-Star game, he might want to do a tryout next year. I got a feeling, you know. But it was ugly. El Profe, did you get a chance to see at least the highlights of that awful display of basketball?

3:54Yeah, so, I mean, I ended up tuning in for about 10 minutes. and you know no hate because we're over here on a pack on a podcast and they're the ones actually playing and getting paid to play the beautiful game of basketball so no hate um but obviously you know you're gonna get what you get none of them can dunk I think there's only been like one or two that have ever dunked in history and obviously if you see the men's side everyone's dunking left and right and chucking up logo threes. So if the expectations was the WNBA was going to do that, no chance. And you haven't been watching all year.

4:33I'm going to throw a flag on you right now because Dominic Malonga did the one hand dunk for the ladies. It was one of the highlights. One of the few good things that happened in the All-Star game was Kellen Clark bombing away from half court. and then this young lady coming in and basically go ahead and and and do a dunk yeah yeah right yeah and I think I mean there hasn't been many ever that can dunk so it's kind of crazy to see a a player like that to to be able to dunk but um it's just it's just my obviously when we watch the NBA we're like fascinated because everyone's just dunking left and right so your expectations are higher but obviously you know you're never gonna get the constant dunking the constant chucking of threes like you see in in the men's side but i mean yeah it was it was a rough watch i mean i saw like i saw maybe like three air balls in the in the 10 minutes that i watched and that is crazy well the worst part was the putbacks you know like when you go and see the kids shooting and they cannot reach the the rim and the ball comes back down and they shoot it up again that's what we witness yeah and to be a professional basketball league that lifetime defense up to his i'm not going to say that i don't want to start cursing on the show but you know these are the ladies that he loves uh according to his book uh they should be making billions you know but uh it was an ugly display uh besides that we had the w nba mvp was jonquil jones she had 22 points 13 rebounds and eight assists that's a heck of a basketball game you know in at any level so those stats are very impressive she was the uh mvp award and And Teen Spoon was able to win 121-122, and that was basically what happened.

6:40My longest dunk was one of the signature highlights of the entire All-Star weekend. So the dunk was that and then what Kalen Clark did. Boys, I'm going to ask you a controversial situation. The WNBA decided to do a poster celebrating the first 30 years of the WNBA. They had Angel Reese, but no Kalen Clark. Why you think the individual player, and I'm not saying she's the best player, but she's the most watched. Why the league is trying to push her away and bring a different narrative, and I don't want to get into that point, but I want to see from you, what do you think is that crucial point that they're trying to avoid to promote the 30 years of the history of the league without Kaitlin, but they go ahead and put Angel Reese that came with her on the same draft year.

7:45To me, that is ridiculous. What do you think about that voice? It's an interesting take. It's an interesting thing that they did. if anything, they should have put both of them because wasn't it last year where, and I hate to say this, but it was kind of divided. You know, people talking about, you know, Reese or talking about Clark and, you know, choosing sides and a sport shouldn't be like that. You know what I mean? You should take it for what it is. Don't the NBA wants to keep that, that thing flowing where it's both of them going at each other kind of like, you know, back in the day, and I'm not saying is, you know, as big as what Magic and Larry was back in the day.

8:30It's pretty much the same setup, to be honest with you. Yeah, but the thing is that we live in a very different world nowadays. So, and I hate to say this. I don't know if you guys agree with me or not. But I hate to say this. You know, nowadays they bring in, for the most part, politics into everything. Or most of the things out there. Something that I didn't see way back then. Or at least I didn't see it as much. And I'm not saying that's the reason why. But I'm intrigued. I'm puzzled. Why would you put her only? Especially when they had the rivalry going. Yeah. You know what I mean? A lot of people say that Kane and Clark rubs everybody the wrong way or whatever it is.

9:12I don't know why they're all out there competing. Apparently, Clark's teammates love her. Because every time there's something going on, like five rings out or whatever, you see all of them. backing her up. And I understand that they're teammates. But there's got to be something to like about her. I mean, she's a great player. She's not the best player. But I think she brings something to the game that makes people go and watch the game. To me, she is the Curry. And I'm not saying because she's as good as Curry. No, but from a shooting standpoint, you've got to appreciate what she does. I mean, this girl can shoot the basketball.

9:53Hands down. No doubt in my mind whatsoever. So I think the WNBA needs to go back, take a back seat, and go, hey, look, we're making some mistakes. Let's fix them this way so it can benefit the growth of the league. Okay? There's a big rumor that the current commissioner is going to be fired. She's going to meet with the NBA commissioner, and they're going to decide her future, but it looks like she's going to be gone, and they're going to have to bring somebody else. Okay? Profe, before I finish the segment regarding the WNBA, last week we had a topic that The Voice and I, we touched in. Sophie Cunningham, she plays for the Fever.

10:47She's on the side of a very heavy criticism because she's defending women's sports where she says that transgender individuals should not join women's sports. How do you feel about that take from Sophie Cunningham? Yeah, I mean, so it's a little tricky because obviously, you know, the league is promoting pride and wanting, you know, that everyone be inclusive and whatnot. Yes. It's a little tricky with the WNBA part of pushing that agenda because if you're saying everyone's inclusive, then you got to include the trans community. But obviously everyone has their own opinion and everyone has their own beliefs, blah, blah, blah, blah.

11:35Me personally, I have nothing with the trans community, but I think science is science. like genetics is genetics you know you can't you if you're if you're born a man like there's scientific evidence that you're just bigger stronger faster and that's just what it is um so when you have that element and you throw someone in there into you know even the amateur sports there's a big topic with that um you throw that in there like of course you have a someone that's gonna smash every record because they're just bigger stronger or faster um yeah so uh it's it's not a good look i'd much rather it be you know everyone on the same playing field because then that way it's even and it's fair um but yeah it's it's a little tricky on the wmba side because if you're gonna push pride out you better include the the trans community so but me personally i think i think scientifically let's just everyone on the same Let it be what it's got to be.

12:35I said it last week. This is my opinion. I got nothing against the transgender community. But I recommended the following. And voice what's with me on this one. Do your own league. Do a transgender league. And play it against each other. Make it, you know, something very interesting to happen. So for us, you know, I thought Lifetime was coming to rip us apart. But no, he's going somewhere. By the way, to all our fans, we apologize. We're doing a lot of moving around with the studio. So that's why we don't have a background from my end. But the guy's doing the job the way he's supposed to do. But I was not able to go ahead and fix this whole entire studio.

13:21But it's good. We bring it in live. We bring in the action. But back to the situation, we said it. Just create your own league. You know, look at baseball. On the first of this month, after 70-plus years, the new baseball league comes. Women's baseball league. I'm going to be watching. I know it's only four teams, but I want to see what they bring to the table. And I will say this. If the product is better than what the WNBA is bringing, be careful, WNBA. See how you move your pieces. Because if baseball league is much better than what you are bringing in, and it looks more competitive, and it looks more to the level of what the sport should be played at the professional level, then WMA, you might have a problem.

14:12And definitely the new commission is going to have to attend some of those problems immediately. You know, I don't know. You know, I think that the situation with the all-star games are really very bad in every sport, except for baseball. It's the only game that you watch the game and you go, wow, they're competing. But NFL flag? Are you serious? The pro ball is a flag? Like, no, come on, guys. Yeah, wait. So let me ask you a question. Yeah, go ahead. If you're, let's just say you're a Kansas City Chiefs fan, right? Patrick Mahomes wants to play tackle football. Did you say Kansas City Chiefs or Kansas City Cheaters?

15:03I just want to. Kansas City Cheaters. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And Patrick Mahomes goes to throw the ball, and Miles Garrett on the other side comes in and tackles him, and he tears his knee in the All-Star game. How do you feel? Oh, you mean on a game like that? To me, if you're concerned about the health of the players, then go ahead and cancel it completely. Don't do it anymore. Don't do the Pro Bowl anymore. So you'd rather them cancel the All-Star game? Yeah, the Pro Bowl? Yeah, get it out of the way. because if you want to promote flag football, yeah, that's fine. Promote it. They're doing it already.

15:48ESPN was showing the kids in different ranges of age playing this past week. Hey, good. It looks like when we go to the park and have fun and play out there. And if we're competitive, you're going to see that fire competitive spirit out there. if you just go to play as a hobby then you know it's a different story but i know you are competitive prophet i know the voice is competitive and mr wilson my god he's competitive and and and uh top fun also himself and me i hate to lose i'll be honest with you i go for a pickup game my god you think that i'm going there just to say hey i was playing and doing exercise Fuck no.

16:35I'm going there because I want to go and win the basketball game. And if I'm playing flag football, I want to win the game. And believe it or not, I want to be that guy shooting the ball. You know? I'm not going to fade away like, oh, Jesus, I'm going to have to say it. Like LeBrun, the queen of flub, you know? And talking about LeBrun, the queen of flub, to all 76ers fans, Philadelphia, Until today, we call you 76ers, but since LeBrum joined your team, it's called the 76ers. The 76ers are in town now with LeBrum and the rest of that crew. So the 76ers got their new name here at the Sports Ride Show.

17:23Now, let's get into the real question here. Boys, what do you expect for Philadelphia? With LeBrum now, and they have Maxie, and they have Jalen Brown, they have Embiid. You know, that's a very loaded team. Oh, once again, he did it. You know, he did it with Bosh, you know, D-Wade. I mean, it's like a repetitive, you know, situation for him. Do you think this team can win the NBA championship? coming out of the east I see it happening listen and Brown is what 42 he obviously is not the same player he was especially when he came to the heat back in the early 2010s I think he was against Primers career there but you know what he could do he can help you out bearing any injuries he can help you out.

18:24He can easily average 18, 21, 22 points a game. Six, seven rebounds. Play a little bit of defense still. What I'm trying to say is that he can only help out. With all the flopping and everything else and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. To me, it's an asset. He's signing with the 76ers. It's a good thing for them. They're going to be one of the oldest teams out there. But again, Do I think that it's going to help them out? Absolutely. I completely disagree. I think they're going to be a top three, top four team. I completely disagree, and I'm going to tell you why. And then I'm going to give it to Profit because I know Profit.

19:09Well, because you hate him. No, no, no, no, no. It has nothing to do with hate. It has to do with the fact what basketball is all about. Jalen Bryant got out of Boston because I want to be the number one option. Maxi loves to have the ball on his hands to create his own shots or create for other guys within the team. And MB also needs the spacing because he likes to shoot from three-point land. So how many basketballs are you going to have between these four guys? And I know they have a fifth guy that can shoot also. So at least with the starting five, how many basketballs are you going to have?

19:53And I'm going to give you a prime sample of what happened with the Lakers when they signed Westbrook. And I'm not trying to play here that I'm the smartest guy because I'm not. But I said one thing, it's not going to work. Because LeBrun requires the ball in his hands. Westbrook did also. And they were trying to see which one of the two could play without the basketball. And neither one is good at that. they need the ball on their hands. They need to bring it down, and they need to do what they do best. I don't take that away from either one. So that formula right there, it was a complete failure.

20:30That's why the Lakers looked the way they did when they brought in Westbrook. Everybody thought it was championship time. Well, you're getting the same thing here with the 70 CCs. So, you know, we'll see what happens. but I don't think it's going to be that good of a formula. You know, that means Jalen Brown will have to assist and become the number two guy. Again, baby. And you criticized Boston. You put your teammate that he was hurt by saying this is the best season I ever enjoyed it because your teammate was out. So what are you hoping that? LeBron or LeBrun gets hurt and B gets hurt so you can get the ball, Jalen Brown?

21:19Those are legitimate questions. This is not about hatred. This is about what they have portrayed as players, you know? So what exactly is going to happen? Who's going to be unhappy after the first 20 games? And let me ask you this. Besides Jalen Brown, who plays defense on that team? No one. If somebody's going to come here and tell me that LeBrum is going to play defense, that's a joke. That's why they got swept by the Knicks. They can't play defense. Now the bench is depleted because they had to trade their mother to be able to bring Jalen Brown. And it's a good thing that I'm going to say this.

22:09LeBrum taking the$8 million for two years? Unbelievable. Because he said, I won't play for the Lakers unless I get my money. But he goes and leaves L.A. And guess who plays with the Lakers? His son. Oh, so I'd rather go chase a ring and leave my son behind. That's just me. But let's say your daughter, voice. Will you leave her behind? I mean, obviously not. Exactly. I mean, obviously not. I mean, but again, he's got his own reasons. Listen, man, the man has played, how long is it, 20-something years? He's gone year 24 now. You can see it. In basketball years, you multiply that by five, like they do with cats and dogs, you know.

23:08So he's probably about 90. You can see it that way, but also, you know, he wants to go out with a bang, man. He wants to end his career with a ring. If anything, I would have liked for him to have gone back to Cleveland, his hometown, and try to win with them. What better way to go out? Me personally. Waiting another one for your city. Yeah, me personally, stay in L.A. with your son. That's family. When you went and said that you wanted to be in Philadelphia because of family, you know what the family he's talking about? It's that the GM over there used to play against him in Ohio. So you call that particular person more family than your own son?

23:55And nobody has taken this angle with the situation. That's the funny part. But I did. no matter what happens if i was a professional athlete and my son was playing with me i just let them know no i'm not going anywhere as a matter of fact i'll take the four million dollars with the lakers and play with my son but you know why he left because he knows dungeon is the man not him this is all about ego this is not about basketball okay that's an ego egotistical son of a bitch. Hands down. You know? It is what it is. It's the reality. I know a lot of people are checking to her. No, no, no, no. No way.

24:40No way. Yes, he is. Lifetime. If you were in a professional team and your son was playing with you, would you go play for somebody else? He don't even want to answer that one. He just stayed quiet. You know? But I couldn't do it. and especially if I'm at the end of my career, you know, I'm going to say this. He goes there. The team is loaded. We know Embiid cannot play 50 games per season. We're not hoping anybody gets hurt. But if they fail, that legacy is going to be even overrated, hands down. Let's give you a prophecy. I know you're going to bring the love to LeBrum. Go ahead. Talk about your macho, macho man, because he's a macho, a macho man.

25:37Listen, let me, I just, I just had to Google something up real quick. I wanted to double check and make sure this was, this was accurate. What? Let's see. The job, what, well, the question I asked, what's the job of a hater? It says the job of a hater is to focus on other people's success, progress, or happiness and try to pull them down. They do this out of their own personal unhappiness or jealousy, serving as an unwanted critic who opposes what you do. I'm not a hater. I'm doing journalism. There's a big difference between journalism and hate. So let me tell you something. Ready? Go for it.

26:15Philadelphia 76ers will be the 2026-2027. NBA champions What? And let me tell you why Oh my god Listen And you can hate And you can say LeBron you're a pussy Oh no I didn't say that I just said he's a son of a bitch It's your ego talking It's your family Listen if any of you guys Were in his shoes and you had a chance to win A ring you'd say yep sign me up No I wouldn't If I had a son on the team that I was in, I'll stay with my son. Hey, fuck the son. I'm trying to win a ring. Oh, my God. You got to win a ring. You heard that one? The hell with the son. I'm trying to win a ring. You Labrumians.

27:06You Labrumians don't want to be wrong. You just want to be right no matter what. You know, there's no friendships on the court. Labrumians, you want to be right no matter what. there's no friendship but it's all good it's all good look I'm gonna win I'm gonna win what you wanna bet I'm gonna bet you right now he will win the championship he will win another one he's not winning we're gonna see he's not winning and I don't wanna hear the excuses oh and B got hurt oh my god he pulled a hamstring oh my god this happened that happened didn't happen couldn't happen didn't have a bench they had to play too many minutes look man man.

27:48Exactly. Oh, did he might come in and give him some of that pink substance or something, make him stronger. Who knows? Now, listen, there, it's, it's, I think in my opinion, he did the right choice because he put himself in the best possible position to. Yeah. He puts himself over his family. I understand. If the, if, if his case was to go win a ring, I'd sign with OKC. I'd sign with OKC and call it a day. Well, they didn't want him. But that's the point. So what other options does he have that he's going to get the ring? Like, obviously, if he wanted to go to family, he would have just either stayed in L.A.

28:29or he would have gone to Cleveland. His other option was go to Golden State in San Fran. Obviously, I don't think that they have the best shot because hands down, the best basketball team in the NBA is the Oklahoma City Thunder, point blank period. Oh, they are. I said that last year. I think they're like Superman. Their kryptonite is the Spurs. But hands down, if it was OKC versus the Knicks in the final, different ballgame. Super different ballgame. Well, remember, OKC had players that they were hurt. Williams, the playing guy, was out, and they had another key player. Both of them were out.

29:09So that's why San Antonio won that series. To me, OKC is the best team. Yeah, but hands down, they're the best team. They play the best basketball. They have the best depth in the roster. They're the best team. So what other options does he have? I think Philly's the right choice. I mean, you're playing in the East, and your real toughest competition would be the Knicks. To your point, I'm going to give you the two choices that he had after your explanation. Stay with his son or retire. What do you think about that one, boys?

29:45he wants to keep playing obviously right because he signed two years I guess at that point if he had to choose just stay with his son yeah you see I would stay with my son that's me I would stay with my son he doesn't want to retire yet he wants to keep playing so either that or probably his son we know you don't have any kids we know you practice are you talking about practice Yes, you do practice, but you don't have any kids yet. When you get to that point, let's have this conversation again. Let's have it again. Hey, man. Listen, I've always been an advocate. I think no matter what age you are, if you can compete at the highest levels, why not?

30:33Like, who's telling you to retire? Everyone's body is different. Everyone's age is different. if you're playing at a high level there's no one telling you oh you you're you're too old now you gotta retire no fuck that i'm gonna play until my legs don't well you were born in puerto rico or on here in tampa yeah puerto rico and you grew up where uh i lived there for seven years and then i moved here oh yeah that means uh lifetime uh taught you how to do la montaera yeah that's what you like la montaera um boys to explain you that In Puerto Rico, a lot of people say, oh, I'm a great coach. And what they do is they go to the barrio and pick the best players and put them together in one team.

31:17And they go 20-0. They win the championship. And you see them hitting themselves on the chest going, we won. I'm a heck of a coach. They don't even know one ounce of the sport that they're coaching. They just basically look at the talent, bring it in. And that's basically, you know, LeBrun style, baby, you know? Hey, I'm going to, you can't hate. I'm not hating. I'm not hating. I am giving you what he's doing. Where is the hate? Do I got to bring up the definition one more time? Bring it in because all I'm doing is bringing the facts. Tell me, in that speech right there, did he try to tear down other people?

31:59Voice, voice. Did he try to bring down the championship? Voice, I want to say this. that I'm lying to everything that I mentioned. In bold, it says they spend their time watching someone else's success and trying to make the person feel bad. That's what it says. Well, if you call that success, good for you, brother. Good for you if you call that success. Boys, do you think anything that I have said out here is a lie? I mean, you say the facts. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I rest my case. Your Honor, I rest my case. You know, that's all I have to say. The only thing is that the polls keep coming and they won't stop.

Here's the deal. Here's the deal. If both parties come to an agreement and you get, you know, the girls and the guys, you know, together and you have a great, great, great time, why not?

37:46Look, I want to do the following. And congratulations to him and Shauna on their bachelor, bachelor party. Love you both guys. But I still want to do a bachelor party for him, even that he's going to be at Chuck E. Cheese. Hands down. We'll get together, buy some pizza. They do sell beer. Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying. We can have beer and that, and we'll record the whole thing so nobody thinks that he was with girls or something.

38:18Anyway, it is incredible. But now, let's talk about why we're here. The National Football League. Everybody's already at training camp. Everybody's in full force. Thank God that the real football is here. At least in the United States. That's right. You know, to the sport of soccer. you know uh we enjoyed the the world cup it was a great final before i get there oh you were not here for last week what do you thought about that final between argent fifa and and spain uh profe yeah no thank i mean thank god that that spain won man football won everyone's happy um yeah no i think argent that was the first time argent fifa got to play uh the toughest team they faced all tournament and you know like as expected that's exactly how i thought the game was gonna go i mean messi was a ghost the entire game um so i think the football community is happy and and yeah i mean it was it was a good game spain controlled the temple they controlled the game like you i think argent fifa had maybe one shot in 90 minutes which is unbelievable yeah yeah yeah Yeah, it was a record for the first time.

39:42I believe it was a team with no shot at the goal for 90 minutes. Listen, like I said, and this goes down in every single sport, the best defense is offense. If you have the ball. Okay. Let me ask you this. Nothing no one can do. Now, I know you were not here when other predictions were made. So last year before the baseball season started, not this one, the one before, before game one, I predicted that the Dodgers were going to win the World Series. and they did. Okay? Then, when we got into the NBA, we didn't make any predictions at the beginning of the year. But when we got into the playoffs, and, you know, the Knicks won the East, and the West was still fighting between, you know, the San Antonio.

40:29Can you say the San Antonio? No? San Antonio? San Antonio? Oh, the Smurfs. There we go. San Antonio Smurfs against the New York. New York? Knicks. Oh, my God. Hey, listen, I told you, let the season start. Then it's going to be on. Then it's going to be on. Okay. So between the Smurfs and the Knicks, before they got to the finals, I say it doesn't matter who wins from the West, the team of destiny is the Knicks. I said that. Okay. Then when the World Cup. Did we make sure that the call is working? Just want to make sure. Yeah, go ahead. Okay, okay. I just wanted to make sure. Yeah, yeah. I just sent something in the chat.

41:14No, no, no. It's your ring. 813-813-2087. It should come up. 813-813-2087. You got it. So then when the World Cup came, no expert whatsoever, not a fan, to be honest with you, but I enjoyed the World Cup. But, you know, I started listening to what is happening, the different analysis. You know, I do journalism. You know, that's what we do here. But I went and said Spain is the team that is going to win it all before the whole entire thing started. So now if you look at it, basketball, baseball, World Cup, can you consider me an expert on picks now, Profit, or do I need to still prove myself? Hey, listen, I want to make a prediction right now for MLB.

42:08I think the Dodgers will win this year. Oh, I did that before the season started. Yeah, I mean, that's an obvious one. You know, wow. But I picked the Cleveland Guardians to come out of the American League. Spain were heavy favorites going into the World Cup. They won the Euros two years ago. and if you look back to history and data back then in 20 2008 spain won the euros 2010 they won world cup 2012 they won the euros again it was a three-peat so if you ask me who's winning the euros which is the european tournament so it's all the best teams in europe uh if you ask me i think spain will go three-peat they'll win the euros world cup euros okay and that was going to be my question because they're a very young team yes yes i believe they had like three they had like three they had like three players with 19 years old if i'm not mistaken yeah well their best player is a teenager like it's unheard of wow wow and then again like here's the thing with with and i'll touch on this a little bit so in the american soccer world okay when you develop someone that young okay and you put them in environments where they're tested and and and you know going to improve playing against better players playing against better competitions yeah no shit you're gonna get a 16 year old who's playing with grown men his whole life kind of like Luka Doncic okay it's a European thing playing with when you're 16 years old playing with men your skill level and your competitiveness is oh yeah yeah that's why Luka Dunjic.

43:56I mean, he just took the lead by storm, and that's why LeBrum left, because, you know, he was not the number one guy anymore. I'm not falling for that one. I'm not falling for that one. Did I say something that is not right? Did I say, did I lie there, voice? Please, tell me that I lied. Hey, hey, hey, I keep saying, you're stating facts, but it's about the same person. That's what I'm saying. No, I was talking about Luka Dunjic. You know, that he got so good, that he's the number one guy and then the other guy couldn't put up with that you know that's all you know it is what it is don't worry about it we'll see it in the posts oh yeah yeah i will bring him in at least i'm consistent with the with the experts out there you know they're doing it every day you know but before let's go into the national football league thank you for that recap right there uh profit with uh with uh football football you know and the world cup was amazing i enjoyed it to be honest with you a lot of great action and but you know they still do the flopping and all that kind of great stuff that they do and it is what it is and now we got the real men's football in america starting today with training camp we're going to talk about the The NFC East and the AFC East.

45:18So since we know that our beloved, the voice Ortiz is a big time Miami Dolphins fan. I'm going to mention a few things in here and then you tell me exactly if we're on the right page or the right analysis with the Miami Dolphins. their top offense are A-Chan, Malik Willis, Austin Jackson when it comes to defense Chuck Robinson, Jordan Brooks Zach Seeler there's a projection that they go 4-13 and they only have a 5 % playoff chance how you feel about that voice? it sounds to me that it's pretty accurate the thing is that they should have done this and we talked about it in the past. If you're going to start all over again, you tear a team down to ground zero.

46:18Then you build it back up. The offense should have done this a long time ago. Let's see how it goes. So far, I'm liking what I'm seeing. Four games, I'll tell you what, if they win two, I'd be happy. Okay. But it's the NFL. And you know what? Four games sounds about right. Now, if they do win four games, they'll probably pick like about between five and six in the NFL draft, which next year, which will get you a very good player at whatever position you need. Yeah. So I will still be happy about that. But let's let's go. And it's it's a complete rebuild. Yeah. Not only a year, but a couple of two, three years.

47:01You know, we talked about it as well as you were saying that. Yeah. Supposedly in three to four years is when they would compete. I say five years. That's what I said before on the show. So this is the way I looked at it. Because of the money problems, because what they got to pay to this year and the following year, you still have some salary cap issues. So you got to build through the draft the first two years. By the third year, then you have a little bit of money to spend on free agency. By that fourth year, you're looking at which rookies you keep because that's a four-year rookie deal with a fifth-year option.

47:38You decide how you're going to develop and what other free agents are you going to bring in. And if you decide that, hey, the rookies that we have, we want to keep them for that fifth-year option or we're going to give the extensions because now you have the money to elaborate, I say by the fifth year, that's when they should be knocking on the door for the division. and I'll say between years six and eight, they should be trying to compete to be in the Super Bowl. You know, the way they are constructing everything right now, the infrastructure that they're creating here with Miami. That's my opinion.

48:14Profe, I know you're a beloved Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan, but no, no, no, no, you're Raiders. Oh, throw the flag. He's with Mendoza. Oh, you love the Hurricane Killer. Okay, I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. Oh, he called him the future goat. I don't go that far, but, you know, we'll see what happens. Oh, my God. Voice is getting red over there. I mean, the background is disappearing. It looks like a sea of red. Go ahead, Voice. I'm getting red because I'm laughing so damn hard, man. That's why. The voice hears Mendoza and he starts shaking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The whole thing starts shattering.

48:55He's got PTSD. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Especially those 168 yards and that one rushing touchdown. Man, it's, I mean, wow. Wow. Hey, he's going to. Hey, I hope you leave a thousand years, but the day you go to your grave, you're going to go with that same phrase going. It was a one play Mendoza, but we know better than that. Anyway. What do you think about how the Dolphins are taking care of the situation after having that disastrous, you know, era with the former GM. And now, yeah, and now they've got the new GM, the new head coach. They are trying to reconstruct this whole thing. It's almost like when you take a house and you tear it down and you say, I'm going to build a new house.

49:45And that's basically what they're doing. Do you think they're on the right direction? I think they did the right thing, in my opinion. I mean, they had a shit show the past, like, three, four years. Like, it's okay to be a bad football team, but then you start adding all the theatrics and the outside noise and your quarterback with 17 concussions in two years. I mean, they just had a mess, but I think they did the right choice. I mean, there's – I forget what analyst said this. It might have been Tom Brady, actually. Oh, God. He said there's four key factors in a football team that you have to get down.

50:23And it's the quarterback, the head coach, the GM, and the owner. Those four are the key pieces. You get those four key pieces, you're on the right direction. We saw that with the Houston Texans. New quarterback, new coach, new GM, new owner, and boom. Now you have a team that competes in the NFL. So I think they're in the right track, and they're going to be pretty bad for the next two or three years. Oh, yeah, yeah, they will. They will. Well, I just looked at the odds, and I saw Miami plays Las Vegas first week, and the Raiders are favorites. And I was like, Miami has to be bad. To make it to the Super Bowl, you know what are the odds?

51:09Plus 75 ,000. Yeah, okay. And guess what? There was one team that it was worse. The Arizona Cardinals, plus$100 ,000. I'm going to put like$5 on it just in case a miracle happens. I would not count out the Cardinals. I mean, I'm not a big fan of, I believe Mike LaFleur is there, the brother. Oh, wait a second. When you say Matt LaFleur, look at my hair. You know, looking like LaFleur, Matt LaFleur. LaFleur. LaFleur. I haven't done the floor. Look at it. Look at it. There we go. Yeah. No, I mean, I'm not a big fan of Mike LaFleur, but, I mean, if he learns with what his brother's doing, who knows?

51:56Yeah. And, I mean, they have a – the problem is I don't know if I can trust Jacoby Brissett enough. He had a good end of the last season. Well, actually, have you guys seen the media with Brissett? Have you guys been hearing? No, I mean, today I was just trying to stay with the AFC East and the NFC East, and you're trying to go West. Oh, okay. I don't know why. I don't know why. Let's throw the flag on you. Yeah, throw the flag. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Either way, they are tearing him apart. Yeah, they are. Well, he just got his contract the way he wanted. He got$21 million per year. So we'll see what happens with that.

52:35Well, in the media, they were like, oh, how do you feel that you're robbing the Cardinals? and the guy in Berset goes, bro, just shut the fuck up. I got paid. Well, he got 21 million. I got my money. I'm good. The way the quarterback market is, I mean, this is why we call the Sports Drive Show and, you know, a profit brought this situation in, but we got accepted. Right now, any quarterback that is good, according to the standards of the league, is a 50 plus million dollar quarterback. You know, even that if you're wearing like a custom during Halloween, that's basically what Tua did and got$51 million per year.

53:20You know, now we got Purdy from the 49ers. Don't get me wrong, good team, but I don't think he deserved$51 million or whatever he's getting paid, but he's over$50. Trevor Lawrence, you were supposed to be the next Spayton Manning. You flourished for one year last year with a new coach, but he's getting over$50 million too. I mean, he just keeps going on and on. And that's why the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are facing the situation with Baker Mayfield. You know, they're going to have to pay him at least$50 million a year. You might have to go ahead and say, okay, it's a three-year deal,$150 million, and out of the 150, let's say 75 million is guaranteed.

54:13That's my take on that. And I said it way before the season started. Don't be surprised if Baker doesn't resign, but he gets the tag. And right now we're going into that. We're going into that direction. Hey, SportsPops, did you get any messages in the calls? Oh, hold on. That was my bad. I'm getting some, I'm reading the chat and someone's mentioning that they're calling. Hold on. That's my fault. Oh, yeah. I just got it. My bad. I just had it on silent. It should be good if I put it. Oh, well, we cannot tell the number on air, but I'm going to call them back. Let me see if it's done. Give me one second here.

54:56Don't go away. You want to make sure. Don't go away.

55:03Oh, so he wrote a text. So this is Bobby, and he's asking if the Jets are making the playoffs in the NFL season. We got Aaron Glenn. Good for you. They got to figure it out. We got Geno Smith. He's back. Redemption. My man, the Jets will be a problem. Yeah, he says to call him back. So we're going to do that. We're going to get our first caller ever. Uh-oh. Here we go. Here we go. Let's see what we got here.

55:43Bobby, are you there?

55:47Bobby, you're there. Give me one second, and I'll put you in the air. Okay. Can you hear me? You can hear me. Can you hear him, guys? Yep, we can hear you. Okay. Bobby, you had a question for us. Go for it. I see that you're a Jets fan, and you were asking if the Jets are going to make the playoffs. PlayStation, yeah, there's a good chance. My question, actually, is why are the Jets not going to make the playoffs?

56:22Well,

56:26I'm going to be honest with you. They're good players. Don't get me wrong. Aaron Glenn last year had a lot of struggle as a head coach after coming as a defensive coordinator from the Lions. I still believe he's a great DC. I don't know if he's a head coach yet, to be honest with you. This year will tell a lot about that tale. Regarding your other players like receiver Garrett Wilson and then you got your running back on Hall and you got all the pieces. But I think you're in the same scenario as the Dolphins. You are building for the future. So what's going to happen is, in my belief, this is my opinion, Buffalo and New England right now are the two top dogs within the division in the East, the AFC East.

57:17And what the Dolphins and the Jets simultaneously, they got to do very parallel to each other is continue to build because those other two teams are going to get older. And then you come with your young guys, and then they will be the two teams competing for the division. And then you see Buffalo and New England go down. And so I say that both franchises, the Dolphins and the Jets, in my opinion, they have a bright future. I'll say five years from now. What do you think about that, Profe? Yeah, I mean, ask the caller. I mean, how are you going to say Garrett Wilson if he doesn't catch the ball?

58:00Well, he said he got Geno Smith. Hey, tell him I'm a Raiders fan. Hey, that's nothing to be proud about. Boys, you are a big-time Dolphin fan. And I know, hey, by the way, Bobby, the voice, he's a big-time. how many folks put this one in here i saw one time at a dolphin game i was there live there was a sea of green jets jersey and only one dolphin in the middle of it so i would say it was like the odds were 50 to 1 and the dolphin guy wanted to fight them all that's that guy right there the voice so voice go ahead and tell them about your true experience and how much you love the jets not now i mean i listen man that was way back in the past man i was you know i was just a little bit young you know dumb and whatever you had a lot of energy but uh but uh but no man i mean look man nowadays you know going back to what you were saying i agree with you um right now the dolphins and the jets got to take a back seat um you know to to uh the buffalo bills and uh uh you know, and the Patriots, they just got to take a back seat.

59:18And they're both in a position where they better make the right moves because both of us, Dolphins and Jets, we've sucked for such a long time that if they don't get this right, man, I'm telling you, I don't know what's going to happen. You know, they better get it right. And again, they, like I said, start from ground zero completely. ground zero Bobby I will say this and and I don't know if the voice is gonna agree with me but if I have to say who's the better team between the Dolphins and the Jets today is the Jets right now yeah I think the Dolphins will go into last place if they win two football games it'll be a lot a lot of people are saying four and I'm fine that would be a miracle but I think the Dolphins will be among the worst three teams in the National Football League this year.

1:00:14And I'm fine with that. We need a high draft pick. We need to draft either. If Malik Willis doesn't work out. The Dolphins are the worst team in the league. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I said, top three worst teams in the National Football League, the Dolphins are there. You know, we're not hiding or avoiding that situation. and I say the Jets are better right now. They're better than the Dolphins. But you won't be able to take over New England, you know, or the Buffalo Bills. Not at this moment. You have to call her. Ask him, does he think Aaron Glenn is the right person for the job? Are you thinking about Diana Rossini this year?

1:00:55He's asking me if we take my bravo over since, you know, he's busy with Diana Rossini drawing the playbook for the Buffalo Bills. I mean, for the Patriots. look, it's been a history of crazy stuff off the field and great success within the field. So I'm going to give you a little run around with the pages. So remember, Tom Brady had the pregnant girlfriend. He left her, went with a hot Brazilian model, married her, beautiful family. And then she went and said, I'm going to go with the jujitsu instructor. Then from there, we had Robert Kraft coming to Florida to try to get happy endings. Then you get Bill Belichick.

1:01:43He's trying to date a girl that could be his granddaughter. And now you get, you know, Brable with Rossini, you know. I don't know if you saw, you know that Rossini named her first son Mike. I don't know if you know that or not, Bobby. And the other day, yeah, go ahead. The Patriots, they surprised a lot of people last year. I don't think they'll be as good as they were. Well, they had an easy schedule. Now they got a Super Bowl schedule. So we'll see how they react to that. That's the reason I picked the Bills, to be the winners of this division. But one more thing. If you guys know, to my understanding, you know, the first, Rosini's son is Mike.

1:02:30and then the other day, Braybo came in into the podium with his service dog and the dog is called Rosie. I don't know if it has anything to do with Rossini and Rose. I don't know. I'm just saying that out there. I don't know if it's a dog, if it's a she or he. I was just joking. Just trying to be funny. Man, Bobby, I want to say this. Congratulations, you are first caller ever in the show. So I thank you for that. I have to be here. I'll be a caller again. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, one day we'll fix it up. You know El Profe, yeah? I know El Profe. You know El Profe? So you know what we'll do? Since you're our first caller, I would love to invite you to come live to the show with us.

1:03:20I would love to. Since you're our first one ever, and that will never change, you know? This is like when you get your girlfriend in high school. You know, you'll be the first ever. That will never change. Even that she will never marry you. The first love. Yeah, the first love. That's what I meant. Jesus. Where's your mind, prophet? Anyway. Yeah, that's what I meant. First love. Jesus. Hey, Forrest Bops. Tell them. The only thing is, no Jets gear. Oh. Hey, Bobby, they say not to bring Jets gear. my man bring the jets gear if you want to i'll have i'll have joe namer yeah there we go he's gonna bring the boxing gloves for you well hey voices no no no bro uh wait a second voices six four 290 pounds he's like brock lesnar he's like brock lesnar if you're somewhere like obafemi then yeah no problem i can have that match here in tampa but if you're you're sure and and and and and well not skinny because i'm not but el profe is uh no no don't face don't face don't face the voice you will need some nice medical insurance and probably life insurance who's winning that match baby who's winning that match okay i got you hey my man it's a pleasure having uh having you with us thank you for being our first caller ever.

1:04:49We love that. And thank you for the support. And we'll be in touch. Thank you. SportsWide show's number one chance. There you go, sir. Thank you so much for that. There we go. Thank you. Man, thank you to Prophet bringing his fans, you know. Oh, I forgot to ask him if he was a LeBrumian, too. You know? My bad. My bad. I should have asked him that before I let him go. because if he tells me yes, then I'm canceling the invitation to be here live. Now, hold on. Go ahead. Hold on. So now, Profe, right now, I'm with you, though. See, right now, that was something that I hated was saying. I'm sorry, Pops, but that's something that I hated was saying.

1:05:33About what? If it was a Libruyan. A Libruyan? Yeah. It's a journalist question. I want to know what my fans like. So he's a fan of the Sports Ride Show. We need to know what he likes. You know, we know he likes the Jets. Okay, we got that. Well, so we were talking football, but you see, Profe, right now I agree with you. Right now that was kind of like a hater kind of comment. Right now, not before, but right now. Because we went from football to LeBron. Yo, listen, like I said in the chat the other day. Hey, hey, hey, penthouse. Hey, LeBron, it has the penthouse. He's got three massage therapists.

1:06:23He's got a castle. He's eating A5 Wagyu tomahawk steaks every night. Yummy. Every night. Yummy. He's yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy. What can I tell you? Hey, guys, what do you think about my matlet floor hairdo here? It looks good or, you know? Yeah, you know what? looks good but i'm pretty sure that you're talking to the man jimmy johnson because jimmy's hair is always perfect oh my god so i'm pretty sure you see you see you see the bs i gotta put up with well let me tell you something we need to ask uh jimmy johnson if at the age of well no i'm not gonna say my age if he had this hair but anyway to matt leflore a lot of love and to the guys at elite studio here in Tampa.

1:07:10Thank you for taking care of me and try to make me look decent, at least for the sports ride show, you know, let's go into the jets since Bobby, our first caller ever. And we're very proud of that. Thank you, Bobby. We might made a plaque for him, you know? Yeah. I think I'm going to go ahead and do that. Hey, he's, he's been tuning in like every week, just letting you guys know. Oh man, that's amazing. He's locked in. He's locked in. Yeah. So anyway, the Jets, I know they got Geno Smith, they got Garrett Wilson, they got Brees Hall. That's a nice trio, you know. You have a legitimate number one receiver with a legitimate number one running back.

1:07:52The problem is you have a quarterback that gave you some signs to be a number one, and I don't think he is. You know, so you are playing with a backup quarterback at the number one position. So that's a problem. so for me that that that's just basically you know one of the things uh they got making uh fix patrick in the defense now uh queen and williams and james sherwood like i said i feel that a little bit deeper than the dolphins this year depending on the moves like the voice is mentioning we'll see in the future who's the better team but i'm i'm i'm gonna go sounding like a broken record i think four to five years is what we're going to see the true two teams and what direction they actually took and where they're going to be in those four, fourth to fifth year for both franchises.

1:08:41Let's go with the Patriots. Last year, they had one of the easy schedules. They took advantage of that and they made a trip to the Super Bowl, but they got outplayed by the Seattle Seahawks and we know exactly what happened. It was amazing. Last year, I finished 187-91 on the football picks, but then I picked, don't ask me why, I picked the Patriots to win it. And, you know, Seattle. Everybody else picked Seattle and sent me. So, that's why I didn't have the perfect quadruple, you know, picking team. So, I missed one. I was an expert that day, baby. I was an expert that one day. You know, by the way, I whipped their asses on the picks, Profe.

1:09:27Every week. It was spanking. Spanking to the left. Spanking. It was like Swifty to the left, Swifty to the right. You know, that's Travis Swifty Kelsey. Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to pick my own team. So it was done by the computer, by the system. So let's go into one thing that is happening in New England. It's the fact that Christian Gonzalez, Christian, my cousin Gonzalez, you know, he's basically holding on signing the new contract and the new contract was supposed to make it the highest paid corner ever. Now, I don't know with the new contract that Ward got in Cleveland because he got paid big time.

1:10:14$62 million for two years and 50 plus is guaranteed. So unbelievable contract for war. He stays in Cleveland. And I guess this way he'll finish his career with the Cleveland Browns. So, you know, it was enough losing Miles Garrett. They have a lot of real estate for it. You know, he goes to the L.A. Rams. And really quick, we'll be talking about the Rams soon. But I think Garrett will have a lot of pressure if he doesn't win the big one with them. because that's a loaded team. It's very similar to what is going to happen with the 70 CCs, but it is what it is, you know. I didn't say no names. I just said, you know, the LA Rams and the 70 CCs have something very similar.

1:11:07Loaded teams for this coming season with a lot of expectations. Anyway, boys, why do you think Christian Gonzalez is holding to sign a lucrative contract? he should have it already and the owner credit to Kraft whether he comes to Florida to get happy endings or not he put the money on the table for him and he's not signing they haven't heard from him yet so what do you think is going on? listen you want to get as much money as you as you can and maybe his agent is here going hey you can get more you are one of the premier cornerbacks in the NFL they might be lowballing you. We don't know what's going on behind the scenes.

1:11:55But obviously you want, or maybe he wants more guaranteed money. You never know. These agents are working 24-7, and they want to make as much money for their players as they can. That's about the only reason I think that he hasn't signed it yet. He's a pretty good defensive back. He's a pretty good guy. Here we go now with the Buffalo Bills. And Josh Allen, of course, the current MVP. You got James Cook. Then you got the new acquisition at wide receiver, DJ Moore, coming from the Chicago Bears. You got Greg Rozu, Ed Oliver, and Christian Benford on the side of the defense.

1:12:40My question is if DJ Moore can resurface himself as a one wide receiver. Because he was playing like a number two in Chicago. You know, there were some aspect of his game that you say, okay, he might become a number one again, but he didn't. That's why Chicago decided to move from him. Buffalo needed a wide receiver because it's been their Achilles for years now, you know? That's why I think that instead of the division being a runaway by the Bills, it's going to be closer between them and the Patriots because of that situation with the wide receiver room. Now, if DJ Moore plays like DJ Moore used to play, then a Buffalo runs away with it.

1:13:28But when you have a Christian Gonzalez that you can put a one-on-one and shut you down, that's going to be a challenge. I feel that the Patriots and the Bills are going to split their particular series one-on-one. Me too. And then they'll go ahead and take the two from the Jets and the two from Miami, and then we got to see the rest of the schedule. it's a brutal schedule for New England but we'll see if they can with Mike Rabel maybe Rossini can get some of the playbooks of the other teams and help them out that was a joke guys you were supposed to laugh you guys didn't like it go ahead we got Willie Hendricks says love the new setup thank you thank you thank you Thank you.

1:14:19Thank you. Do you know him, Profe? Yeah, that should be. I sent it to a whole bunch of people, so. Okay, man. Yes, yes. He's also been tuning in every now and then. Oh, he said A.J. Brown is poo. Hey, we forgot to talk about A.J. Brown with the Patriots. You know, that's my fault. Hey, good pick up there, Willie Hendricks. Thank you so much for that one. They have a number one receiver. So they're in a better position than Buffalo. So to me, this is going to be exactly what I said. You know, the particular division is going to be a split between Buffalo and New England, respectively. They'll take the other two games.

1:14:59They're supposed to take the two games from the Dolphins and the Jets, respectively. So that will make them a tie. And then we've got to see what they do with the rest of the schedule. But I like in this division, I like Buffalo this year. you know, I think it's a little bit of a hard situation. I don't like the head coach in Buffalo, to be honest with you. I think that was the wrong firing, making this guy Brady, the new head coach, the former offensive coordinator. He's going to still call in the play, to my understanding. So we'll see what happens. It's going to be very intriguing in the AFC East.

1:15:41But I think both teams will make the playoffs. One will win the division. The other one will be a wild card. Guys, you want to add anything when it comes to the AFC East? Yeah, I mean, go ahead, boys. Go ahead. Yeah, I think both of them, like you said, are going to make the playoffs. I just don't see any of them going to the Super Bowl. I agree with you. I agree with you. Neither one of them is going to the Super Bowl. I know in Buffalo they're trying to sell this Kool-Aid that is the year, like every year, but no, it's not happening. And for the New England Patriots, great run last year, but you're not making the Super Bowl this year.

1:16:25So I absolutely agree with that one. Profit, you think that either one of these two teams can make the Super Bowl this year, or you agree with us that it's not happening? Yeah, no, I don't think it's happening. I mean, Patriots have a much tougher schedule, like you said earlier. and Buffalo, I agree with you. I don't think Brady was the right man for the job, but, I mean, prove it's wrong. Prove it's wrong. There we go. Let's talk about the NFC East. This is going to be a heck of a division. I think any of these four teams can win the division. You know, that's how tight it is. I'm going to start with the New York Giants, and I know a lot of people say, you think the Giants can win the division?

1:17:13Well, you got the hardball effect in there. And he's making some important moves that can make you very competitive. That defense, that front seven, is going to be scary. Very scary because you got Abdul Carter, Brian Burns, and Dexter Lawrence. That front seven is going to be nasty. Very nasty for the Giants. You got neighbors, you got Jackson Darn, and you got Andrew Likely. My only concern with the Giants is can they run the football effectively? It's got to be coming from a grueling ankle injury. So those would be... He's going to be back. Guaranteed. Going to be back. Yeah. I think they'll do that.

1:18:01I love the addition of Andrew Likely at the tight end position, especially for a young quarterback like Jackson Dart. You know, he was used in some moments in with, oh my God, Lamar Jackson used to use him once sporadically because he had Mark Andrews with the Baltimore Ravens. But I think here he will be that number one guy that he can be at the tight end position. It's going to help Jackson Dart a lot. Once again, I think this team can surprise anybody. I don't see any of these teams sweeping the other one. I think they all split their particular series against each other. That's how tight this division is going to be.

1:18:48The commanders, it depends how the health of Jaden Daniels is for this year. What kind of protection they're going to have. They kept Terry McLaurin, and they got Oncoco in there, and then Frankie LeVue, that's Owen, and Sonny Stiles in the defense. They call him a sleeper. We'll see how that defense can really play this year. The most important thing is, can that offensive line protect Jaden Daniels? If they cannot protect him, then they might be the last team in the division. so it's the one thing that needs to be seen then we got the Eagles you know Barkley Hurts now they got Jordan Mailata Jalen Carter just got paid today 38 million dollars per year highest defensive tackle pay in the National Football League I know you've been a great player for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and I know you want to get paid but you cannot get paid the way a young Jalen Carter.

1:19:56You're 31. And the Bucs need to sign Baker before they sign you. So I think you and your agent need to come to the comprehension that, hey, I'm a great player, but I'm 31. And I'll get that to voice in a minute, but he needs to understand that. To me, if he's in the$24,$25 million tag, he can help the Buccaneers. Well, he just requested a trade. Yeah, I know, but that's because he was making$17 million and everybody else is getting paid. There's a couple of guys making$38 and$36 million respectively at the defensive tackle position, but you cannot expect a 31-year-old to get that amount of money, in my opinion, you know?

1:20:45And I don't want Vito Veo to get mad because even that I got the voice as my bodyguard, I don't think you can take on Vito Vero. Vito Vero is a big guy. Jesus. You know? But anyway, the Philadelphia Eagles, I think they got an amazing team. They got a good offense, but it all is going to lay into the absence of A.J. Brown. So they don't have a number one anymore. I know everybody thinks that Smith can be the number one guy. I don't think so. I think he's a good 2A receiver, but not a 1B. And for sure, not a 1A. So they're going to have problems in that area. And since he already had problems, Jalen Hurst, throwing the football down the field, then it's going to be a thing where Barkley has to have an MVP year again and have a monstrous season and probably have to be in that 2 ,000 range running the football.

1:21:50Can they do it again? That's the big question. So there's a lot of questions. I think all these teams are amazing. And then we got Mr. Wilson's Dallas Cowboys. To surprise the whole world, very quiet this year. Not a lot of drama besides the signing of the wide receiver. With him, they put the tag. He accepted it. Let's go and play football and see what happens. So very, very, very quiet offseason for the Dallas Cowboys. Maybe that's the right thing to happen, and then they go ahead and do what they got to do. Guys, of all these teams here between the Eagles, the Cowboys, the Commanders, and the Giants, boys, who do you like best to win this division?

1:22:37um well i mean to me it's a toss-up between um i guess the the cowboys and uh the commanders man you love your boy you love your boy i don't you love oh it's a toss-up no no no no mr wilson no no i just i almost said his name again i i i just don't see i don't see the giants they just don't have an offense i don't think they're gonna be that competitive on offense for them to put it all together and come out of the NFC East. I just don't see it happening. So to me, it's going to be a toss-up. I know it's a different player here, but really quick, one of our fans during Drita4321 is asking me our thoughts on Joe Burrow.

1:23:25Well, if he's protected and he stays healthy, he's one of the best top three quarterbacks, in my opinion. But the variables are, can he stay healthy? Can they protect him? Receivers are there. Running back is there. The problem is that offensive line. Can they protect Joe Burrow? If they protect him, that's my dark horse in the AFC to surprise everybody. But the element is, can they protect Joe Burrow? If they do that, then they can surprise a lot of people and eliminate a lot of the favorites and maybe advance to at least the AFC championship. But that's a lot to ask for that offensive line. So I hope during Drita4321 that we answer your question with that one.

1:24:14Let's go back. So you think it's between the Commanders and the Dallas Cowboys to win the NFC East, boys. Profe, you agree with him or you like better Philadelphia or even the Giants to surprise the world? No, I got as much as this pain, I got Philly. Okay. I think they're just the better overall team and better coaches. I think now that they got rid of their last OC and they brought a new guy in that's been part of the Shanahan tree with LaFleur and McVay, I think it's going to be a much better year for them because, I mean, we saw it last year. They struggled when they were losing. They struggled when they were losing.

1:25:02So, I mean, if they can figure out how to win games when they're down, they're hands down one of the best football teams in the NFL. Yeah, I mean, defensively, they're nasty. They're disgusting. Yeah, they're good. They're top, top, top, top. The problem is, you know what? I really like the Giants as well. Oh, no, that front seven by the Giants on the defensive side. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, they have everything. I just don't know if – and trust me, I'm a big fan of Harbaugh, but I don't know if you guys saw the team meeting he had the other day. It was bad. It was bad. I mean, he's trying to motivate the guys, and no one was interested.

1:25:43It was bad. It was bad. But, I mean, I don't know. I don't know. I definitely got Philly. I think they're the favorites in that division. Yeah. Me personally, like I said, it's a toes up. But if I have to pick somebody today, to me, it's between Philadelphia and the Giants. I think those two defenses are set up to win. Pretty much similar to what, and we'll be talking about them because next week we're going to do AFC South and NFC South. The Houston Texans, that's a team that has a Super Bowl defense. the problem is if their quarterback can resurface himself from year one and it hasn't happened in year two three or four so we'll see what happens in year five you know so or year four i'm sorry year two and three is being bad for him so we'll see what happens with strout but anyway i love the philadelphia eagles with the giants uh i'm gonna make a bold prediction but i'm taking the Giants to win the division.

1:26:46Wow. And then I'm taking the Eagles to be the wild card. Hey, we got to write this down. No, no, no, no, no. I'll be there. Dallas Cowboys. Dallas Cowboys, and I'm sorry, and the commanders will stay home, in my opinion. Okay. You know, I could be totally wrong. I've been there before, but I'm a risk taker. So I'm definitely taking the big blue New York Giants. Oh, by the way, you made a comment saying, a prophet, you went and said, I hate to say this, but Philadelphia, you know, and you started, you know, making your statement. That means you hate Philadelphia teams? So you hate the Phillies, you hate the Flyers, and you hate the 76ers.

1:27:35Listen. Hey, we got it out of him. He hates the 70s even with LeBron. Listen, it's like it's a part of you now. Oh, okay. You know what it is? I think you love him so much that you can't get him out of your brain. Oh, yeah. The abundance of love coming out of my heart for LeBron, the queen of love, is immensely. Hey, brofe. Brofe, once again, this is hate right here. I hate to say it's sports, pops, but this is hate. No, no. This is journalism. Hating, passionate journalism, expertism, amateurism. He brought it up again. It's all involved. He brought it up again when there's no reason to. No, no, no, no, no.

1:28:20Wait a second. Don't start blaming me. Just listen to the voice as if you want to get in trouble with the voice of tease. The one that went and said, I hate to say this. I wish we could rewind the video. He went and said, I hate to say it, philadelphia and he said it with an emotion that you say he hates philadelphia teams he does no no no no i never said i hate philadelphia teams oh okay i'm sorry i'm sorry let's not get it twisted i'm sorry i'm so sorry oh by the way he decided to live in manhattan versus living in philadelphia that's that's just to let you know yeah don't get me wrong The city is shit.

1:29:03Oh, my God. You hear that voice? You know. Oh, my God. Le Brumian's at his best. I'll tell you what. We used to live about an hour and a half southwest of Philadelphia. And Philly, it's a dump. No, it's not. They got Philly cheesesteak. They got the Rocky statue. Oh, no, no. We've been there. We ate that. It was awesome. We went to the Rockies. I mean, we went to a lot of places. But there's some places in the city that... Oh, by the way, there's a movie coming out about Sylvester Stallone. And the kid, at least on the clips that I saw, the kid talks just like him. And it's about how he started, how he struggled.

1:29:52And then he wrote the script for Rocky and basically changed his life. I believe it's in November or something. Yeah, it's coming out in November. You're absolutely right. So that's like us. You know, we had this dream 20-plus years ago. You would not even, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think you were like three years old when we had this dream, Profe. But believe it or not, so you know a little bit of the story. The Voice, Mr. Wilson, myself, we were trying to incorporate this. And I even competed in some contests for a radio station. and I was trying to open the wave for everybody, for us to make it where we are today.

1:30:32And we're doing some nice things, you know. I'm not going to say the network because we're not sure exactly why they want us, but they show some interest. Let's put it that way. We'll let you know as soon as we get something going. The name of the movie, isn't it I Am Rocky? I think it is. Yeah, I believe so. I Am Rocky. I think that's the title. I would call it I am Sylvester. You know? Well, you know, so. Oh, I'm the roadrunner. He's talking about the character, which made history, I guess, with the movie. You know he got inducted into the boxing hall of fame, right? Yeah, yeah, he did. Yeah, just because of those movies.

1:31:16Those movies. And what's his name? Antonio Tarver just got inducted into the hall of fame a few months ago. So we're trying to get him on the show. He said yes, but, you know, things here and there. So we'll see exactly when we can bring him. Maybe when the movie is coming out, we can bring him because he did one of the Rocky movies with Sylvester Stallone. You know? So that could be the right moment to do this. Guys, I want to thank you again. Had a good show. I love the fact that we had Bobby as our first caller ever. not first fan ever to get in touch with us but actually you know oh by the way Summer Slam is on Saturday anybody watching?

1:32:00I'll be tuning in I'll be watching OTC OTC baby I got Roman Reigns I got Roman but I asked you earlier me too but I asked you earlier who wins what do you call it? Brock Lesnar? Oh, Brock Lesnar or Obifemi? Man, he's in Minnesota. That's where Brock Lesnar is from. Look, if he is going to retire... He should be with that winner. He should be with that winner. He should go out a winner. He should go out a winner. Well, now, don't be surprised. They don't do it, and they shit it all over, even that is in Minnesota, because what they did with Cena, get beat by Gunther, by giving up, when his phrase always is, don't ever give up, that is BS.

1:33:00Triple H, I love you as a wrestler, but as whatever you are right now with the WWE, bro and you're doing things that don't make sense in my opinion go back to that match and right before Cena taps out take a look at the expression oh he smile he smile like that he says something like saying okay I have to I'm doing it for the company exactly I have to I'm going to go ahead and give up Look, I would have been okay if he lost, but not that way. I would have rather him to say, hey, he went to sleep. He was knocked out. He pinned him one, two, three. But to go ahead with the man that hasn't mentioned never to give up, to go ahead and give up, that's the purest BS I've ever seen.

1:33:58To me, this is me, in my opinion, to all the WWE universe, I think for whatever reason, AAA wants to tarnish a lot of different careers. Did he think that's going to make him get higher ranking? No, you're still below them. The thing is that you marry the daughter of the guy that made WWE what it is with Hulk Hogan, rest in peace. That's the real story behind it. and the fact that you convince Stephanie to stop her dad and not defend him to stay within the company, no matter what he did, because I understand, he was playing hanky-panky with the wrestlers in the back end. And I'm not saying, and I'm not condoning that, but at least you should have came out public and said, hey, dad, I'm with you.

1:34:55And now have your husband now, oh, he's in charge. You know, he is doing everything for the company. No, I don't like it. I didn't like it. I hated the fact that it looked like a plan from him to take wrestling away from Vince McMahon. The man that took the company from his father. So we're talking about family tree here. To have a stranger just because he married the daughter to take over. That's my opinion. And the ratings are down. Even with the acquisition of ESPN with them and everything in, I'm sorry, the ratings are down. They're having issues. Because they're doing things that you go, really?

1:35:40You really want to do that? Like Soul Rocca. They made her probably a month ago. The Intercontinental Champion. She lost last night. Or Monday night. I take that back. So now Raquel is the new champion, the Mexican-American. She's a good wrestler. I like her. I like her character. But, you know, why do you keep changing this thing like it's, you know, you know, like changing underwear, like this guy that changes teams all the time? Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It just comes back to that, you know. Profit, profit, read it again. Read it one more time, baby. Read it one more time. No, no, no, no. You don't need to read that again.

1:36:26But anyway, really quick. What's the job of a hater? Oh, my God. The job of a hater is to bring the real news to all his fans. ...sucurity or unhappiness. Well, I'm a happy guy. They focus on someone else's successes or progress because it highlights their own lack of growth. That's the definition. If you call that he's successful, what? I mean, four championships in 24 years? That's success? Wow. Okay. Hey, listen. Hey, listen. Wow. Go ask all the great players in the past that they haven't sniffed a championship. And then, you know, go talk to them and see what they tell you. Yeah. Do you know what they will tell you?

1:37:12We play. I play with my team. And I didn't go jump ship every time something went wrong to try to win another one. That's what they're going to tell you. So what happened to the guy that three-peated the first time and he did it a second time? And then he went to a loaded team, right? But nobody talks about that. No, no, no, no, no. Wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second. Before you start with the loaded stuff, Tony Kukoc. No, no, no, no, no, no. Before you get there, you see, you start trying to turn the things around. Tony Kukoc was drafted by the Chicago Bulls.

1:37:49He was part of the team. Okay? Then, Michael wins the three in a row. He goes play baseball. We know what happened. He came back, played 17 games, and they got eliminated by the Orlando Magic that eventually got swept by the Houston Rockets. Okay? Then he comes back. They made some moves on the second three-peat by having Rotman. They had Harper, you know? And that was the team that became the second three-peat. I don't take anything away from that. They put a team together that nobody could beat. Nobody. But nobody says anything about that. But everybody, and again. Wait a second. He didn't go to L.A.

1:38:37He didn't go to New York. He stayed home. And the players came to play with him. This one here goes, you know something? I'm going to come here. I want to do what I want to do, but as soon as I'm not happy, meh, meh, meh, meh. Fire the coach. Fire the coach. Fire the coach. When Jordan came back, why didn't he go to a soccer team? Hey, Pat Riley, why you're not going to fire Spolstra? Then I'm leaving. I'm leaving. I'm out of here. I'm out of here. Hey, bro, you want to get his heart rate up? Come on, baby. Oh, no, no. It's calm. Look, I can take three rounds of boxing right now. You know? Oh, by the way, did you guys take seriously Jake Paul trying to make a football team?

1:39:23He said that he can be a wide receiver. Exactly. Exactly. Jake, I love you. I love that promotional stunt that you did with boxing. But, brother, you're not making it to the National Football League. If you do, I'll take my hat off. It'll be a miracle. The problem is that he still has a concussion from the last fight. That's what happened. Wow. When he got his abs completely whooped, that's what happened. There we go. Hey, Chino, get us out of here because, you know, we'll be talking about everything and everything. And, oh, he's on the injury report. What happened to LCP? Oh, he has a bad knee.

1:40:05No, bad knee or bad hip? A bad knee. A bad knee today. You know what? Me and him are the same. You know what I call that disease? Age. Yep. Oh, wow. You got it. diseases. Wow. His age. Wow. Hey, we all go through it. If we live long enough, and, brofe, if you were to live long enough, hopefully God will live 100 years. Watch. Guys, I want to thank my pick crew, the boys, and the brofe of Court Lifetime Concussion Protocol, even that he was quiet tonight. I have to tell you, remember, here at the Sports Rise Show, every sports story belongs to you. Hey, Bobby, thank you again for being our first caller ever.
