“October Is Coming, the NFL Is Changing & The Voice's Pressure Goes Up!”

0:28." crew. Start your engines. The Sports Rise Show is ready.

0:47Welcome everybody to the Sports Rise Show. I am your host, Sports Pops. And remember here at the Sports Rise Show, every sports story belongs to you. And in order to bring all the stories, I need the best Pete Crew in sports today. So let me welcome back the man that gave us a scare last week, the one and only Listen to the Voices if you want to get in trouble with the voice or tease. Of course, we have our new member, Shy Sheikas. She made her debut last week. And, of course, Mr. Wilson in the Dallas Cowboys neighborhood. And our special guest tonight, the one and only Hector Cepeda, Mr. Baseball.

1:29I got to call him that. You know, well-deserved on that. Thank you for having me on this. Oh, yeah, yeah. This is your house, baby. You can come anytime. I know you said it. I've been here only once, and I'm coming back after a few months. You know, he was complaining, you know, not being on the show more regularly. So we'll see how we make that happen, you know. We just got to sign the contract, Hector. I don't know how much we can pay you, but we're going to go with that. Anyway, really quick, we're going to start with football tonight because Shy Shika, our lady voice on the show, needs to go because she's in Jamaica.

2:12Jamaica, man. I got 15 jobs, man. I'm the competent. I'm also the, you know that, from Living Color. Oh, well, she's too young to know that. So, Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wilson? Come on. No, no, Mr. Wilson's not in Jamaica. He's in Hialeah. No, the thing is, if you have another chick on the show, we need to talk, Mr. Wilson. You didn't tell me about it, and you better not be in Jamaica, too. Wow. Whoever you are, Jamaican me crazy, okay?

2:46For this show to make no sense at all, we need director, cheerleader, producer, but better known as Lifetime Concussion Protocol, Carlos Flores, better known as Chino. Yay! Chino, would you? What's up? What's up? Can you put yourself in the camera just for a minute? That way, look, that's Lifetime Concussion Protocol. There we go. Life in color, baby. I'm hidden. So, unfortunately, we got some bad news regarding the NFL. Really quick, Jackson Darryl is going to be out for the year. He has to go through surgery. That knee is gone for the year. But let's talk about what is going to happen this week with the games for week three.

3:34We're going to do this really quick because Shai Shiga is on a time frame because she wants to enjoy Jamaica, man. Jamaica. Sorry. You know? That's how it is, man. You know? Look, we got the Falcons and the Packers to start Thursday night football tomorrow night between the one-on-one Packers and the Falcons 0-2. It's looking really, really, really bad for the Falcons. They get panicked back this week. He's the starting quarterback. Not surprised with that decision. So let me start. Shyshika, who you got between the Packers and the Falcons? I've got to go Packers. The Falcons have not shown up yet.

4:19Okay, Voice, who you like between the Packers and the Falcons? Got to go with the Packers, but the way the NFL is nowadays, you never know. You never know. Mr. Wilson, who you got? You got the Packers or the Falcons? I'm not loving the way that the Packers are looking right now, Ivan. But you can't get much worse than the Falcons. So let's go. There we go. Hector, I don't know if you want to get into the action with these picks. Might as well. Let's go. I'm going with Packers. We didn't have no team in Houston. That was my team. Okay. So let's go with the Packers. Everybody Packers. Then we got the 0-2 Chargers versus the 2-0 Bills.

5:03They're going to play from Buffalo with the new stadium, second game, with the big Bisons in there, the gigantic. I mean, they're huge. Josh Allen has just played MVP caliber football. There was a guy in our football fantasy league, our fantasy football league, that when Josh Allen scored 40 on Thursday night last week, he went and said, my new name for my team is Lord Baby Jesus. He lost, by the way. Anyway, we'll talk about that later on on the show. And let's go into Chargers' bills. I think the Chargers are in a lot of trouble. They're going to go 0-3. And I'm picking the Chargers. What about you, Mr.

5:50Wilson? You got the Chargers or you got the Bills? You said you're picking the Chargers? Sorry, I'm picking the Bills. Okay. I'm picking the Bills. Sorry. I almost went into lifetime concussion protocol. No, I got the Bills. I got the Bills. I said they're going to go 0-3, the Chargers are. okay all right so this debunks your whole chargers um theory for the super bowl since no team has ever made it to the super bowl starting off 0-3 we'll talk about that on a later time no problem you know i didn't know that m &m it was going to be this bad but anyway we'll go from there but anyway i got the bills bills take bills take this game as well i got from your call, sir.

6:35Shyshika, who you got? What am I asking this question? Shyshika, just say it. I said in the first episode, I got the bills all the way. All the way, okay. I won't even ask you again. I'm just going to say Shyshika got the bills. Boys, I know you love the bills, so who you got? Unfortunately, I got the hated Buffalo Bisons. Okay, he hates the Bisons, so he got the bills. Hector, you want to get a crack between the bills and the Chargers? I'm going to go with the Bills for what they did to us in the first game. Okay, against Houston. I got you. I got you. Okay, here we go. Next game, Panthers going to Cleveland.

7:14Cleveland comes from a big win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Oh, I mean Buccaneers. Big surprise. By the way, two massage parlors had record sales on Saturday before the game on Sunday. Some people are saying, thank you to Deshaun. I deserve a massage, Watson. That's all I got from that. Anyway, we got Panthers going into Cleveland. I love the way the Panthers are playing, even though they got beat the first game of the season, but they put 37 points on the Bears, and definitely I got the Panthers. Hector, who do you like between the Panthers and the Browns?

8:00I have to go the opposite. Let me go with Browns. Oh, he's taking the Browns in Cleveland, baby. Woo! Maybe a trip to the lifetime concussion protocol? No, I don't know yet. We'll figure it out. Voice, who you got? Panthers or Browns? Here comes a shocker of the week for me. Hey, I'm Hector. I'm with you. I think the Browns put it out. Wow! Oh, Mr. Wilson, what are you going to say about this? Don't tell me. What I'm asking for, you're going to go, just like the boys, I got the Browns. No, no, no. Go ahead, Mr. Wilson, who you got? Did anybody see Deshaun Watson play this year? The guy's horrible.

8:43Only the Bucs would buck that up. Only the Bucs would buck that up. So we're going to say that even the broken clock is right two times a day, but the Browns get back to their losing ways. Panthers win. Come on. Panthers win. Okay. Shashica, who you got? Panthers or Browns? Panthers. Carolina all the way. Carolina. I got Carolina, but our special guest, Hector Cepeda, Mr. Baseball, got the Browns and the voice took the Browns. Maybe we should go back to the hospital and check you in again. Maybe. Maybe not. I'm just kidding, man. Really quick. The box could bunk that up. Good grief. Jets-Lions Big game It's in Detroit The Jets surprisingly are playing Very well Unfortunately they came short against Green Bay Last week in overtime But They're playing much better That said We're in Detroit Detroit should win this football game But I'll be very happy if they lose But I'm taking the Lions Shy Chica, who you got?

9:54Lions or Jets? That's a tough one. I'm going to go Lions. They're at home. Okay, there we go. Mr. Wilson, Lions or Jets? I'll take the fact that they're at home as well, and I'm still going to stick to my guns and say the Jets are the Jets until they prove otherwise. Okay. I don't know. They're showing up. Okay. This question for the boys, I mean, I don't know why I'm asking, but I know the answer already. But anyway, who do you got between the Jets and the Lions? Actually, you're going to be a little bit surprised. If the game was in New York, I probably would have gone that way. But the game is in Detroit, I'm going Lions.

10:38Like I said before, that's the only reason I'm picking them. But if they get surprised and they lose the football game, I'll be the happiest man in the world. Mr. Cepeda, what do you think between the Lions and the Jets? I'm going to go with the Lions. The Lions. Okay, perfect. Let's go into the Texans and the Colts. Two undefeated teams, 0-2. Not 2-0, 0-2. Divisional game, very important game. I mean, the Colts offensively are playing good football, but defensively they're terrible. While the Texans are terrible in every aspect of the game. They can score. They can stop anybody. You know, I got the Colts at home.

11:26Mr. Wilson, go ahead. Who you got? You got the Texans or you got the Colts? I love the way Jonathan Taylor is running the ball. I got the Texans nonetheless. less. Ooh. Shy, she could you got the Texans or you got the Colts? I agree. I'm going to go Texans. Okay. What about you, boys? Texans or Colts? Check it out. I picked the Texans to go all the way to the Super Bowl. You did. I got to stick with them. Believe it or not, they started 0-3 last year. So this is not new territory for them if they happen to go 0-3. I think it's difficult to go back-to-back years, go in three, and then, you know, make everything different at the end of the season.

12:13But everything is possible. I still got the Colts. Mr. Baseball, who do you like? Oh, I'm sticking with my hometown. Oh, he's staying with the Texans. They're playing in Indianapolis. Pat McAfee Land. They're playing at Pat McAfee Land, just to remind you. Big game between the Patriots and the Jaguars. This game is in Jacksonville. Wow. This is a hard game. I'm going to let Shai Sheik start this thing. Who do you like between the Patriots and the Jaguars? It is a tough matchup, but I'm going to go with Patriots. They're home, and I think they're going to be okay. Well, they're actually on the road.

12:56They're playing in Jacksonville. They're playing away. They're playing away. They're playing in Jacksonville. It makes it even tougher. Okay. I'll stand by them. I'm going to go Patriots. Patriots. Voice, I know you love the Patriots as much as you love the Jets. Who you got, Patriots or Jaguars? Before I get my shy cheek, are you right? Because I know firsthand Patriots fans travel. I'm not saying they're going to take over the stadium, but they travel. There's going to be a lot of Patriots fans out there. With that said, home cooking here, baby. Home cooking. You got the Jaguars. Mr. Wilson, Jaguars or Patriots?

13:37Man, that Patriots defense is good. The offense is still struggling with a little bit. I'm going to say that the Jags taking in Duvall. Okay, Duvall. Everyone's going for sunshine, and you guys are always telling me that. A.K.A. Prince Charming from Shrek. That's actually Trevor Lawrence here at the Sports Right Show. So, look, guys, I'm a little bit concerned with the running game from the Jaguars. And I think the Patriots defense can't stop the run. I think Christian, my cousin Gonzalez, is playing lights out. He's showing why he got the big money. Due to those facts, I'm taking the Patriots.

14:24Mr. Baseball, Patriots or Jaguars? I'm going with the Patriots. Going with the Patriots. Okay. Now we got all the Chiefs and the Dolphins. Come on now. Oh, what happened? Come on, boys. Let's just run the table here, please. I'm going to say everybody likes the Chiefs. Let's go into the next game then. Okay. Chiefs all the way. Titans, New York Giants. Now the Giants don't have a quarterback. I'm going to go ahead and elaborate a little bit on this one. The Giants don't have a good backup quarterback. Should they call the 49ers and ask for Matt Jones? Will it cost you a little bit higher regarding the stakes to get Matt Jones into the Giants?

15:21I will only do it if I knew that I was going to win the Super Bowl with Matt Jones. and we know that's not happening. So I will not make any crazy trades. The experts out there are saying call the Indianapolis Colts and get Anthony Richardson. I don't know. What do you think, Mr. Wilson? What is the situation here with the Giants now that they lost Jackson Dart for the entire year? The situation for the Giants is bleak. Ultimately, I want you to replay that clip that you played a couple of weeks ago. I want to hear that again. I'm kidding, of course. We're going to move on past that as well. I'm joking.

16:03Jesus. You know, they beat your Cowboys. What do you want me to say that week? I get you. I get you. But you know what I mean? Sometimes. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. He's biting me in the ass because he's hurt, but not because they're playing bad. Jesus. So check this out. Jameson Winston, look at voice, he's laughing. Jameson Winston, not going to cut it in New York. The issue with this is the San Francisco 49ers are not giving up Mack Jones under any circumstances because in the National Football League, the three most important positions, starting quarterback, left tackle, backup quarterback, those are the things that can derail your season.

16:48People don't put enough value on what a backup quarterback means to an organization. And this is going to be an issue for them. I will say this. The Giants, the only way they will have to pay a high ransom to get a Matt Jones, they will have to pay a higher value than what would be in normal circumstances because he's a backup for a reason. But Matt Jones is the most valuable backup right now in the National Football League that can actually help a team have a winning streak, maybe win the division and surprise the whole world with him playing with the New York Giants. But it's not going to make you win the Super Bowl.

17:33So that's where I go, no, you don't pay a higher ransom because you just lost your franchise quarterback, in my opinion. Here's the thing with the 49ers. The 49ers have championship aspirations, which makes Mac Jones so valuable for them, especially with Brock Purdy's injury histories in the past. If you don't have a Mac Jones on that roster, if something happens to Brock Purdy, the San Francisco 49ers season is done. And for a team that's aging and are in that window now and want to win now, there's no way you let Mac Jones out the book. Hypothetically, let's say the Giants make the phone call to the 49ers, and we know that it should be a fourth and a fifth round, but they go, hey, we really think that we can win this thing with a Matt Jones in our team.

18:22We'll give you a one and a two. This is hypothetically. That's not the price that they should pay. I want to make that clear. But if they come with a one and a two, you think you're going to hold that back, guys? um i i don't think i don't think that again it's it's hypothetical but i think that the giants understand that they're not ready to win right exactly so i don't think i don't think that they pay that price for it but if you're san francisco um it's a good chance you do bite on that but like i said with with the structure of san francisco right now considering age considering the amount of opportunities and the bites of the apple that they have left.

19:06A Mac Jones with Brock Purdy's injury history, I think that that's a little bit too much, and I don't think that they pull the trigger, even if that were the scenario, which, of course, like I said, is hypothetical. Will you make the call to the Colts, Dan, and ask for an Anthony Richards? Will it cost you probably a six-rounder or a seven-rounder? Yes. I just like three small pieces. Thank you. Shashik is ordering room service. I can tell. No, I am not. I'm sorry. I am not. Anyway, let's go into it. I'm here for work. It's going to be a tricky game because the Titans and the Giants. The Titans and the Giants are just going to be a defensive battle now.

19:49You know, offensively, the Titans are not moving the ball. The Giants with Winston can't move the ball. So I'm going to take the Giants because they're at home in a very defensive battle between the two teams. I got the Giants. Who you got, Shai? She got Giants or Titans? Titans. Ooh, she took the Titans on the road into New York. Woo! What about you, boys? Shaking your head like, yes, you're on the same page. I like her pig. Mr. Wilson, me and you were talking about last week about Cam. He's still running for his life. Giants got this game. Mr. Wilson, Giants or Titans?

20:36Giants are a little banged up. Giants have lost a couple of guys on their defense. And, of course, Jameis Winston is their quarterback at this point. So their ability to put points on the board. I'm going to say the Titans. I'm going to go with Shy Chica and say that the Titans win this. It's going to take them some time to get together. Okay, Mr. Baseball, you got the tiebreaker on this one because we got two and two, like Chuck Wallery. I'm going with the Giants because the Titans are in our division. Oh, okay. It's a hatred thing. It's a hatred thing, you know. Sorry. Okay, there we go. The Bengals, 2-0, surprisingly playing good defense.

21:21At this point of the season, they're playing better defense than offense, which is very surprising for the Cincinnati Bengals. They made some adjustments. They had some great picks this past year and the year before that. So they're solidifying the defensive side of the ball. So I got the Bengals going into Pittsburgh and winning this football game. Shai Shika, you like the Bengals or you like the Steelers? I'm going Bengals. All right. What about you, Mr. Wilson? Bengals or Steelers? We're going Twin City. Bengals, Bengals. Bengals, Bengals. What about you, boys? Bengals or Steelers? I got those Bengals, man.

21:59Okay. They're amazing. Mr. Baseball, Cincinnati or Pittsburgh? Sounds like a National League game. It does, yeah. Who you got? Yeah. I'm going to stick with the Steelers. Oh, wow. We got one Steeler. He's a brave man. I'm sick. Lifetime concussion program, where are you? I think our special guest might need – you might have a new patient tonight. Anyway, let's go into the Seahawks and the Commanders. Jaden Daniels for a second year in a row gets hurt. Dislocated elbow again. Thank God it didn't break, but he's going to be out. They're saying they're not going to do surgery. I don't know exactly what they're going to do with him.

22:47I think that he should do surgery and skip the whole year out and get better, get healthy. That said, whether it was like that song from, what's the name, U2, Without or Without You, yeah, they were going to lose the football game anyway against the defending champions. I got Seahawks all day long. Shia Shika, Shai Shika, I'm sorry. Who you got? I have to defend the champs. I'm going Seahawks all the way. What about you, Mr. Wilson? Absolutely. We're going to go Seahawks. Absolutely. No Jaden Davis, doesn't it? Yeah. It doesn't matter. With or without him, then we're going to lose the football game.

23:33I think the Seahawks are a better football team than the majority of the teams. Give the guy an elbow sleeve or something. Good gracious. Come on. Yeah. Yeah. So, I'm sorry. Yeah. Anyway, boys, who you got? Got the Seahawks, baby. You got the Seahawks. Yes, sir. Mr. Baseball, who you like? I'm going to agree. I'm going to go with Seahawks as well. There we go. Now, we got the Cardinals going into Santa Clara to play the San Francisco 49ers. Cardinals got a good offense. Very good nucleus with, you know, Jeremiah Love, the new running back, and then they have that tight end that is an animal. He's from another planet, right.

24:20So, I mean, what can I tell you? I like the 49ers in this game, especially at home. They'll go 3-0. Mr. Wilson, you agree with me since you love the 49ers? I do. No, I'm just asking. So you love the 49ers, no? No? Okay. Sorry. Dallas Cowboys. Dallas Cowboys neighborhood. I take that back. Yeah, I'm not a fan of the 49ers, but yeah, I expect them to win this game, even with love and the bride. Both of them are supremely talented, but just not enough. There we go. Voice, 49ers or Cardinals? Well, I saw the Niners up close last week. And I mean, Niners, how can you go against them? I don't think it's a blowout, but Niners got this game.

25:13Mr. Baseball, who do you like? You like the Cardinals or the 49ers? I don't know which one they're doing good. Well, I'll give you a recap. The 49ers beat the Rams week one. And they beat them up. It was not a close game. We have a 27-7, I believe, by 20 points. So look at me still Wilson already going. Yeah. Just go with me, Mr. Baseball. That's all. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to pick for you, Mr. Baseball. I'm going to go ahead and take the 49ers for you. Let's make it a clean sweep over here. Chayshika, should I ask you who you want, or should we skip that and keep going? I think we're all going for the same team.

26:03There we go. Now we got the Minnesota Vikings 2-0 leading the NFC North, like I predicted. Oh, sorry. Too soon. Don't do it again. They beat the Bears. They beat the Bears last week, you know. They're playing the Yaconeers. Yaconeers are going to go 0-3 here at TB City, you know, Tampa Bay. So I got the Vikings. And Shyshika, I know you would love to see the Vikings lose, but I think the Vikings, they're going to take this game. Who you got? Yeah, unfortunately, I'm not going to be happy about it, but I do think they're going to win this game. Okay. Voice, Vikings or Jackaneers? Man, I got the Vikings.

26:50Even though I'm keeping my close eye on nephew, he's still struggling out there. Okay. Mr. Wilson, Vikings or Jackaneers? Kyle Murray is coming back. It doesn't really matter. Ultimately, the Buccaneers have a problem. I think they should have let Baker play off the books for this season because it doesn't look all that great. Top Bulls get fired after this season, and they start 0-3. I think Top Bulls should get fired right now. Midseason, yeah. No, no, not even midseason. I would have cleaned the house. Look, you got to go back to what happened last year. You started 6-2. You finished 2-7. Now you lose the first two games of the season.

27:34You lose to the Cleveland Browns at home. You're 2-9 in your last 11 games. He should have been gone. You just don't fire the entire staff and then say, okay, we think it's the staff's problem, not you as a head coach. Well, if you look at his resume, he's a great guy. Don't get me wrong. Good coordinator, defensive coordinator. Good, not great. And then he is basically doing the same thing that he did with the Jets. You have a roster, but for whatever reason, the players are not responding. It's time to go. It's time to clean the house, including the GM. And we'll talk about it on another show, but they need to go.

28:23So, and to your comment, Mr. Wilson, I made a comment probably six, seven, eight episodes ago. I said they should tag him, let him play. He plays well. Tag him again and then give him a two-year contract. Something very similar to what they did to Kirk Cousins. That's what I was looking at. But anyway, here we go. And I got the Vikings. You got the Vikings too, Mr. Wilson? Everybody got Vikings. Mr. Baseball, you like Vikings over the Yacquineers? Yes, sir. I agree with you on that one. Okay, perfect. Now we got the Raiders against the Saints. Did they make their pick? Who? Voice and... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

29:09Yeah, yeah, they love the Vikings. They want the Vikings. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stealing my mojo, like always. Mr. Wilson. Anyway, here we go. Let's go into the Raiders and the Saints. Surprisingly, the 2-0 Raiders, okay? Against the 1-1... Oh, my God. Jesus. They didn't play anybody? Okay. No problem. Who's the Dolphins? Who are the Dolphins? Oh, you're saying the Dolphins are nobody? Of course. We're on the rebuild mode. Come on now. Are you saying that they're like the cheerleading team that, you know, people are saying, hey, we're playing the cheerleaders. Look, the number one pick, a battle is going to be between the Dolphins and probably the Browns.

29:54well if if the sean i deserve a massage watson plays the way he played against the the yakineers then they might have a chance to not to be the the worst team and then and if i buy the winning lotto number i'll be rich there we go so anyway uh the saints one-on-one they should have been at least 1-0-1. I would have went for that tie because of the way this division is. But they're both teams are playing great football right now. You play your competition, and you do what you got to do, which is win the football game. This is a big game between the Raiders and the Saints. I like what Tyler Shaw is doing.

30:43I'm going to pick the Saints over the Raiders. What about you, boys? Who you got? Oh, why ask that question? You hate the Raiders. No, no, no. I'm here with you in this game. Not because I hate them or not, but I think they're going to get their first loss of the year. Yeah, he hates the Raiders. You can tell us why you hate the Raiders. I don't. I have nothing. The Dolphins don't play their conference. We got nothing to do with them. So I don't care. Maybe it has to do something with the guy they drafted, but I'm not going to get into that one right now. I don't care. I mean, no, that's fine.

31:19Number one, number one pick out of 6 ,000 picks, you're still riding the bench. Not good. Don't worry about it. He'll come in. He'll come in. Don't worry about it. Yeah, probably, what, three or three years later? Okay. Hey, that's okay. Waste of it. Hey, did Aaron Rodgers came like four years later? Oh. Do we know if it's going to turn out like Aaron Rodgers? I'm not saying that, but I'm just letting you know the way you're trying to persuade this is like it's going to be a total disaster. Well, Aaron Rodgers came four years later. Usually the number one pick almost, almost plays, not 100%, but almost all the time he gets to play at least half the season or something.

32:01And let me say this real quick, and then we can move on to the picks. Aaron Rodgers also had a future Hall of Famer playing in front of him. Just putting that out there. Yeah. He was older and stuff, but you're right. Yeah, yeah, he was playing with the Hall of Famer. That's not what Kirk Cousins is. No, no, no, I understand that, but still, you know, you never know. You just never know. I like the fact that they're making him wait. Shai Shika, you want the Saints or the Raiders? I'm going to go Saints. Okay, what about you, Mr. Wilson? Oh, you're going with the Saints, I imagine. I actually really like the way that the Raiders are playing, but I'm going to follow Shy with this.

32:44I'm going to go with the Saints. Boys, you got the Saints, I imagine, or you got the Raiders? Oh, yeah, he got the Saints. Okay. Mr. Baseball, you like the Saints or you like those Raiders? I'll take the New Orleans Saints. Okay. It's a clean sweep. I'm taking the Saints also. And then we have the Ravens versus the Dallas Cowboys. From Dallas. In Rio de Janeiro, huh? Yeah. Well, not from Dallas. You're right. It's in Brazil. It's the international game. Brazil, todo bene. Todo bene. Todo bene. Todo bene. Todo bene. Wow. Wow. Both teams are one-on-one. I believe Flowers gets back this week for the Ravens.

33:40Oh, it's not 100%. I believe that he might be back, but I haven't gotten it. I think it's questionable, but he's close. To what I've heard in the last few days, it's like he's coming back for this game. So if he's playing, I'm still taking the Cowboys. What about you, Mr. Wilson, Ravens or Cowboys?

34:06See, that's what I like. The field conditions from what I hear are not the greatest. I know. Let me say that. So I think that that doesn't bode well for Zay Flowers playing. Either way, I was going to pick my Cowboys, but I don't think that they're going to have Zay play on international turf where they can't really control that climate or what have you. So, like I said, either way, I was going to pick the Cowboys, but I think that that bodes well to Zay Flowers. I don't think we'll be playing. Chayshika, Ravens or Cowboys? This is a tough one because Ravens are 1-1 internationally. Cowboys are 1-0.

34:45As an, I guess, a second Eagles fan, I can't pick the Cowboys. I'm going to go Ravens. Okay, you're going Ravens. I don't know why I follow her. Yeah, exactly. That's your own fault. Hey, any chance you're flying from Jamaica to Rio de Janeiro for the game? No. I'm not. You're not? Okay, just in case. We're just checking in, you know. Maybe next time. There we go. Voice, you like the Ravens or you like the Cowboys? The Dallas Cowboys neighborhood? This is a tough game to pick, but I'm going to have to say I'm going Cowboys in a closed international game. There we go. Mr. Zepeda, you like those Dallas Cowboys against the Baltimore Ravens, or you got the Ravens?

35:31He's got to rip Texas, eh? He must go for the Cowboys.

35:39Actually going for the opposite. Oh, you're going for the Ravens? Oh! He loves is Houston, Texas, and hates the Cowboys. Mr. Wilson, what do you think about that? We bring him as a guest, and he's hating on your Cowboys. Me, I'm bringing you love every week. Have you noticed? Nothing but love, baby. Nothing but love for the Dallas Cowboys neighborhood. I got no problems with Mr. Baseball, man. Nobody's perfect. Okay, there we go. Do you think maybe a trip to Lifetime Concussion Protocol might help him? It's a tough game the pick. I mean, the Ravens can win this football game, so no, we don't have to send them in.

36:21Okay. Let's go into the next game. Woo! Sunday night, Rams versus Broncos from Denver. Both teams one-on-one. First week, it was very disappointing for both teams. I think the Rams show that they can play without Puka, Dracula, Nakua. Uh, Shai Shika, you know why we call him Puka Dracula? This is typical. Do you know why we call Puka Dracula Nakua or no? No. Why is that? Oh, he had a little bit of a celebration during New Year's in January, and he beat a girl on the finger and another one on the shoulder. It's still under investigation. It'll be, we'll see what happens next year. But yeah. I am aware of that, but that is still under investigation.

37:14So until it's proven, then I'll have some words for him. Well, it's Puka, Dracula, Nakua, no matter what. I think he was teething at the time. Yeah, I remember. He said that. When I came out with that name, that's exactly what Mr. Wilson said. Anyway, Rams Broncos is from Mile High. this is going to be a defensive battle versus an offensive juggernaut with the rams tough game tough game mr wilson go ahead you start with this one first because i don't know where i'm going with this one you got the broncos or you got the rams um we all expected the rams to come into the season and be that team. So I'm going to stick to that, even though they're in the mile high.

38:12Bo Nix has some proving to do, and what better of a stage to do it than against the Rams? I don't think he gets the job done. I got Matthew Stafford in the Rams. There we go. Shyshika, you like the Rams or you like the Broncos? I agree with Mr. Wilson. I'm going to go Rams on this one. There we go. Voice, Rams or Broncos? Yeah, it's a tough, tough game to pick, man. But with all this said, I think I'm going to go for the home cooking. I'm going Broncos. You're going Broncos. What about you, Mr. Baseball? You got L.A. versus the Colorado Rockies. Who are you taking?

38:53I'm going to go in with the Chargers. You mean the L.A. Rams? It's the L.A. Rams. L.A. Rams. There we go. You got that cut off, so I didn't hear what you said. Oh, it's LA Rams versus Broncos. You got the Rams? Yes. Okay. If it was not because the running back room for the Broncos is kind of in trouble because J.K. Dobbins and the other running back are banked up, that running game is what they need in order to beat a team like the Rams to try to keep them off the field from an offensive standpoint. I'm definitely taking the Rams over the Broncos. Okay? And then we got Monday Night Football before we get there.

39:42Shy Chica, she loves the Bears because she was born in Chicago. But she also loves the Eagles because her man in her life is an Eagle fan. So what a predicament like that movie Face Off between, you know, John Travolta and Nicolas Cage. That's what you're having this week, Shyshika. Before you make your pick, I'm going to ask you a question. Well, I want you to ask me a question first, and it's going to be like this. You say Caleb, and I'm going to tell you my first thought when you say Caleb, and then I'm going to do it back to you. So go ahead and ask me the question. All right. What do you think of Caleb?

40:21Drama. What about you? What about you, Shyshika? Don't say queen because we don't want to call him drama queen, okay? We don't want that happening. Can you imagine? Caleb Mablin Williams, a.k.a. drama queen. I'm just saying. What do you think about your quarterback, Caleb? We are going to struggle without him, but honestly, the first word that came to mind was nail polish. It wasn't drama. It wasn't queen, and it wasn't his injury. It was nail polish. Nail polish, you see? That's why we call him Caleb Maybelline Williams, now a.k.a. Drama Queen. The reason I'm getting into this is because he basically went into the ground.

41:08Everybody thought, this guy's done for the year. And then everybody out there, the experts, Jason Whitlock is having a banquet with this one that the guy made it look like he had an Achilles injury or a hamstring tear, and it wasn't that. My question to the voice. Voice, do you think he just saw what the Vikings could do defensively against him and decided to, like, skip the game? I'm just asking. It's just questions. It's just questions, you know? My answer to that is I think the guy watched every single soccer game in the World Cup. That's all. Oh, that's a good one. Mr. Wilson, what do you think about that situation with Caleb Maybelline Williams, a.k.a.

41:57Drama Queen? What do you think happened there? Oh, Shy Sheik is not liking that one. I honestly think that when you're running full speed and you feel something in that hammy, you have no idea whether or not you tore it, whether or not it's just that's a tough injury. especially for an athletic person. You tear a hamstring, you got receivers. Mike Evans, so Mike Evans is a diva then because Mike Evans has been out with a hamstring for multiple seasons. So, again, I don't think... No, no, no, no, no, no, no. We're talking about the reaction of him on the field besides the injury he got. Man, please.

42:46Look, I've never been a pro player. I've never been a pro athlete. But I know what pulling your groin feels like. And I had a mild one playing baseball. You think I quit and I quit the game and I went on the ground and then going like this? Like when somebody gets hurt knowing he's not coming back for the season, like going like this and making a drama, like making a mini movie out of it? Come on, please. You're a football player, you know? So you hate guys who are competitive and care about the game. Is that what I'm hearing? No, no, no, no. What I'm saying is I hate a guy that I know you got injured, but not to the stream that you showed it like you were doing a Hollywood movie.

43:32Okay? That's exactly what he did on the field. But you don't know. Look at Jackson Dart. Jackson Dart, they're over here saying he's trying to get back into the game. The kid hurt himself, and he can't even play again this season. Now, I understand that level of bravado and that, oh, well, he wants to play. But at the end of the day, when it comes to Caleb Williams, you don't know how long you're going to be out. Did you see him with the towel over and then he takes it off and he's like tears on his eyes and he's going like, I won't be back this year. I won't be back this year. And then suddenly, he might play this week.

44:06Come on, please. Give me a freaking break with that. But, boys, what do you think about that situation with Caleb Mabellon Williams, now a.k.a. Drama Queen, in my book? You know what? I'm surprised you haven't brought up that one name over from the other sport. I'm so surprised. I was waiting for you to say that. I was waiting for you to say that. Go ahead. You bring it on. No, I just thought you were going to say, Ron, you know, they're family members, they're cousins. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I'm waiting for the basketball season because I'm actually, I'm not actually waiting for the basketball season to start, to talk about LeBrun, the queen of love.

44:50I actually want to talk about when I go New York. No? Damn, I got away a whole month. Man, it's so classical when we go New York, and he goes with his deep voice, Ducks.

45:09is marvelous magic here at the Sports Right Show. What's wrong, Mr. Wilson? You don't like my nicknames and stuff like that? Look at him. He's like boring or something. You know? You don't like it. You don't like it at all. As long as you're entertained, my brother. Exactly. As long as everybody else is entertained, that's all that matters. But anyway, Hector, you got the Eagles or the Bears? I'm going with the Eagles. You're going with the Eagles. What about you, voice? Eagles or Bears? The Eagles will fly high. Fly high. What about you, Mr. Wilson? Eagles or Bears? No, Caleb. Shy, chica, shy.

45:53Shy, chica. Oh, so you're taking the Bears? No, I'm taking the Eagles. Oh, you're taking the Eagles. I was just a shy, chica, shy. Oh, shy, chica thing. You're trying to be nice. Okay, I'm going to go with the Eagles. Hey, the fact that somebody, you know, tried to make it look more drama than what it was. So I'm taking the Eagles, even if he was playing there, Caleb Mabellon Williams. I got the Eagles. Shy Chica, this is a predicament. This is like the movie Face Off. I just mentioned a few minutes ago. Who you got? This is extremely difficult because if I was going to the game, I would 100 % be wearing Bears gear, but I don't know that they can pull this off without Caleb Williams.

46:38And I don't think he's going to be back. And, but the Eagles offenses looked like complete crap this year, to be honest, they barely got to win against the commanders and they barely got to win against the Titans. So, uh, this is very hard in my heart. I want to go bears, but I truly think the Eagles are going to take it home. Unfortunately, there we go. So we got, we all got Eagles, you know, But it's in Chicago. Including Shia Chica. Are you going to the game or no? I am not going to the game. There we go. I didn't want to be nice to her this week since she seems to consistently go against my Cowboys.

47:14I think that this would have been like a win-win for her either way. I'll see her next week. She don't like your Cowboys at all. I get it. You know what I mean? I get my honest feedback on both teams. Neither team looks good. I'm not going to give the Eagles any credit. Their offense looks like junk. So they're lucky they're winning games. There we go. Hey, Shyshika, thank you for making time. I know you are in Jamaica working. She's working. You know, she's working. But I heard some lady coming in and say, hey, happy hour in 20 minutes. That's what I heard. Happy hour in 20. And she was like, I'm doing the show.

47:57I'm doing the show right now. so shy she can go in the show from jamaica i promise i really am see we get we're international there we go there you go anyway shy she can thank you for tuning up with us uh we'll we'll be talking next week have a good time have a good time over there in jamaica mom jamaica mom Thank you. That was our shy Chica. She's our female voice at the sports ride show. And remember here at the sports ride show, every sports story belongs to you. Also the show is brought to you by Milorian. If you want a professional podcast, if you want a professional campaign for your business to grow, you do it here at Milorian at TBCity.

48:48Gentlemen, let's talk about the results of last week really quick. We saw the Bills beating the Lions 41-31, suspected. Panthers put on the Falcons 34-3. Saints beat the Ravens 24-17. That was a big surprise game, so let's jump into that one. Mr. Wilson, what do you think were the key elements for the Saints to surprise the Ravens in Baltimore?

49:18Chris Olave was just beating that defense up. He was catching everything thrown his way. With that guardian cap on his head, I think that Tyler Shook doesn't have a hard time finding him in the secondary. He's got that big extra piece on his helmet. So it's like a Madden game where he has like a carrot over his head everywhere he goes on the field. They look like bees. That's what they look like. But no, it was a heck of a victory. Lamar Jackson and that offense still have a lot of things to iron out. And like I said, I think that the Saints are just playing at a super high level right now. The defense is playing well.

50:01They're really getting it done on all three phases. It's early in the season, but this is a sneaky team. It is. NSC South has something to beware. Those Panthers, Buccaneers. No, well, Yacaneers are gone. Yacaneers are gone. And the Falcons are gone. So don't worry about it. This is a two-team race between the Panthers and the Saints. Two hours a race here, huh? Yeah, that's it. You know, the Yacquins are gone. They should be firing everybody. Well, I would have fired them already. I would have fired him last year. But I don't want to get into that right now. Saints beat the Ravens. Tyler Shaw playing very good football in his second year.

50:40This is his third-round draft pick, if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Wilson? Tyler Shaw? Yes. Yeah, he's a third-round. he's transcending the same way that that Prescott did with the Cowboys. Third round pick, going into, starts playing well, then other weapons come around, and this is what you have in here with the Saints. So the present looks great, and I think the future looks great with this team. But I was very surprised that they were able to go into Baltimore and get that victory, and they should have got that tie game in Detroit. So this is a team that is playing well away from home. Let's see what they do.

51:25He's a second-round draft pick. Second-round draft pick? My bad. I thought he was third. But anyway. No, no. I thought he was too. Okay, second round. Okay. The Vikings beat the Bears defensive game. Either team could get anything rolling offensively. We know that they lost Caleb Maybelline Williams, drama queen. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah. Do you know where I get this from? You know, from Jason Whitlock. Fearless. You got to be fearless in life. I'm a big fan, Jason, just to let you know. Jason Whitlock, my boy. He got no holds barred on that one. But anyway, the Vikings show that defensively, of course, with Flores.

52:12And what a coordinator. I think he should get the chance to be a head coach in the National Football League. And I won't be surprised if he's back in Florida. But with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, I'm just saying. Boys, what do you think about the Vikings and Florida's job against the Bears? Man, that was one hell of a game for that defense. And you said it, man. I just don't think he had a fair shot at the Dolphins. I think he was there for like, what, three years, I think, if anything. And then all the controversy and him getting laid off or fired, whatever it is. I would have loved to have seen him, you know, get a real shot at coaching the team.

52:54But I think you're right. I think there's going to be a couple of teams coming after him because he's been doing a hell of a job this way last year, even though they didn't go far. But still, he's a very good defensive coordinator that's probably going to get another chance at a head coach. I would love to see him here in Tampa. Could have. Tua got him fired. Tua was probably the reason. The first thing is he had to play with a quarterback that he didn't want to draft. Right. Insanity. And then Tua said, he treats me bad. Another drama queen. Oh, I'm sorry. I don't know what that order is coming into here now.

53:32Okay, so whose fault is that? But I agree with that. Like, if a coach is coaching you hard, you can't come back and be like, oh, well, you know, I don't think he likes me. No, he just coaches hard. Softy. You think just because you're the starting quarterback, he's going to be, you know. Yeah, they're soft like LeBrun. Yeah, that's the problem. I opened up that can. I'm sorry, man. Thank you, boys. You remind me of that. I was not going to come up with that. Besides, all I wanted to hear now is New York. Yeah, that's all I want to hear. You know, the defending champions. But I would love to see him back.

54:08Bengals-Texans. Sorry, Mr. Baseball. The Bengals really dominated the football game. I said it before, after his rookie year, he is basically regressing, regressing. Stroud it is. I think the Texans will be looking for a new signal caller next year in the draft. if something can go in that direction. They're going to go 0-3, I believe, this week. They could be going 0-3. They did it last year, and they reversed the entire season, but I think doing a back-to-back year is very tough. What do you think about that one, Mr. Baseball, regarding your Houston Texans? It is tough. You know, they need to do something to make it happen, especially for the quarterback.

55:03you know um you drop somebody you know it's time to shine already you know things need to happen already here in texas and i know that they're building frustration in my city uh especially i don't get to see too much about what's going on of our texas team um but just hearing from family member and everything it's building up a lot of frustration they need to do something and they do do it fast. They want to keep his parents alive. Mr. Wilson, regarding this situation with Stroud in Houston, I don't think he's going to get that fifth-year option with them. I think this is over regarding his quarterback playing.

55:48For whatever odd reason, the kid did amazingly his rookie year, and after that, it's just peddling back all the way. What do you think? Do you think he stays in Houston or he's gone? Would you be surprised if they gave him the fifth-year option? I wouldn't be surprised, no. I think that what's happening with C.J. Stroud, like the first two games, the guy's thrown 96 times. I think that that's just way too much for a quarterback who is, of course, there's a defense behind you, but I think they need to establish a better running game. He also had two rushes for 29 yards. This kid is really good.

56:31They just couldn't get it into the red zone. Between the 20s, the 20 to the 20, these guys are good. They're just not hitting pay dirt, and they're not hitting those money shots that they need to hit. He's down Nico Collins, and you know what I mean? It's kind of like the same thing that's happening. And again, when you pay these guys this money, you want them to elevate the people around you. I get that. but the kid is not playing bad football. He had 353 yards. He had no interceptions in this game. He was sacked four times. I think that he deserves a little bit of grace. I don't think the kid is trash.

57:04He can ball, but I think that the people, the coaching staff and the running game needs to be established and needs to do better. They need to help him out. Like you said, even if he leaves, if they want to give him that auction and he wind up signing somewhere else, he's going to get that. He's going to be the person that we're expecting when we got him somewhere else. It always happens for us. It always happens for us. I mean, he might go somewhere else. Yeah, I mean. Car. I look at it this way, Mr. Baseball. I think there's a problem in coaching offensively this team. You don't make a kid go without Nico Collins, your number one option, that is out throw 55 times in a football game.

57:53You bring David Montgomery in just to give him six carries. I don't care that he had only 10 yards. You keep pounding. This game ended 20-6. Either end up 50-6 or 41-6. No, 20-6. You put one drive, pushing the ball, and you might start. It's a one-score game. Exactly. That's my point, what I'm getting into. And, boys, you being a former offensive lineman, why in the hell is happening with the Houston's offensive philosophy at this point of the season? I'm with Mr. Wilson there. The kid needs help. You know, because, like I said, if you play, you know, pretty damn good as rookie year, which is the one year where most quarterbacks struggle, there's got to be a reason why he's getting worse instead of getting better.

58:48You know, usually they start bad. You know, let's set a great example. You know, Peyton Manning, when he came in, he played horrible the first year. Horrible. What did that guy do? He started getting better as the years went on. This is the opposite. So, Mr. Wilson, I'm with you. He needs help from the running game. He really needs help. Voice, they ran the ball 15 times. He threw the ball 55. That is a disparaging difference. No. That doesn't make any sense. That's a losing formula. Period. Now, let me ask y 'all. D 'Amico Ryan, is his job safe? I think it is. But, damn, they better start winning.

59:29I think he stays. He stays. Yeah, I think he stays too. But I think they'll get a new quarterback. In my opinion, I know I understand the point that Mr. Wilson is bringing. The kid needs help. But there are other elements that he shouldn't be better already, and he's not. And I said it before, you know, instead of progressing, he's just regressing every single year. There's no way that you can stay with a quarterback that cannot play to the level of that defense because we all believe, or at least I believed at one point that they were a Super Bowl defense. Right now I got questioning that too, So we'll see what happens.

1:00:14But they're in trouble. The Texans are in trouble. And if they go 0-3 again, then they'll be competing with the Browns and the Dolphins for that number one pick next year. And where do you guys feel like he's regressing? Like if you're watching his games, where do you feel like he's regressing? Because I keep on hearing this term regressing. What is he doing that leads you guys to believe that he's regressing? To me, it's progression. instead of going one two three or even fourth option he's an option one and i'm tunnel very similar to very similar to tua in my opinion i've never i've never seen that from him okay you have you you have an opinion i got a different one but i think that's what he's doing i've never seen him and i've never seen anybody accuse him of that the kid goes through his progression a lot of times he's getting he's running for his life like cam ward yeah a lot of times like hold on to the ball because he's going through his progression so much that he is not he doesn't have that so those are the things that i can agree with but that he's locked in on the receiver i i don't see that i see a holding on to the football maybe longer than he should okay offensive line that has a hard time i just wanted to know because like i said i hear people say that and i never really get like a definitive like okay what do we well the other thing that they were talking about was basically also his footwork.

1:01:41That's been mentioned before, not by me, by experts out there, that his footwork for whatever reason hasn't got any better from year one to this year. Because he doesn't trust his offensive line. But yes, that's something that he has to get right. You know what I mean? Exactly. There's a lot of elements there. But also at that point at that point, could it be coaching then? Because then if it's that, and it's what, fourth, fifth year, whatever it is, then bring a real, I guess, quarterback coach that can teach the kid how to do it. You should have got that already. I mean, we know Nico Ryan is a defensive-minded coach, but he should have got someone with him that can actually develop this kid.

1:02:23I don't think it's that he can't do it. He can do it. It's here, which we all know football is a lot of psychological. And if you aren't trusting your offensive line to do their job up front, which he's had those issues with them before, it's a mental thing at this point. It's not that he can't set his feet and that he can't, he just doesn't trust the guys ahead of him because he's been, he's gotten his clock cleaned so many times. Well, we'll see what happens this week with them. I'm very surprised with the Bengals on the other side. They're playing better defense than offense at this point of the season.

1:02:58if they keep playing consistently on the defensive side and then once that monster of offense wakes up, my Dark Horse, like I said before, if he stays healthy, Joe Burrow, this could be the team coming out of going into the AFC Championship and going back to the Super Bowl, you know? I agree with that. Damn, finally you agree with something that I said. Hey, Jesus. Hold on, hold on. Before you say anything. Lord, baby Jesus, it's about time. When you make sense, I'm with you, brother. Okay, there we go. Mr. Baseball, sorry about that situation with your Texans. I hope it gets fixed one way or the other.

1:03:46I know when Nico Collins comes back, we should have a different type of quarterback, hopefully. but we got to wait until that injury goes away and see how far behind they're going to be. They have the fourth, I believe it's the fourth or seventh easy schedule in the National Football League according to the strength of the schedule. That could be something very favorable for them to help them out come back from this 0-2 or maybe 0-3 deficit that they might face after week three. Let's go into the Steelers and the Patriots. The only comment I have to say is about Christian, my cousin Gonzalez. He got paid and he's showing why.

1:04:29Did you guys get a chance to see how he was covering DK Metcalf from that game? And DK Metcalf is bigger. They had him on the mic and he goes, he's a big boy. But he did his job and that's why the Patriots came out on that side of the victory, 23. three. Let me see if I can get a lifetime concussion protocol. Hey, lifetime, can you hear me?

1:04:59Chino, come over here. We got to talk to you for a minute. Are you going to talk about one of his six teams? Well, two of his teams were playing against each other this past week. Okay. Okay. So let me go a little recap before you grab the mic. You had the Browns coming into Tampa to play the Tampa Bay Jackeneers. The Sockeneers? The Sockeneers. Hey, look, he got the Jackeneers, the Sockeneers. We got the names now. There was a rumor that this past Saturday, two massage parlors got the highest sales of the year so far. Yeah, yeah. You think that was because, you know, Deshaun? The stress. No, the stress caused by your Buccaneers.

1:05:45No, but it was before the game. So Deshaun, I deserve a massage. No, he got lucky that we sucked. You know, he played good. He played bullshit. He played good. We sucked. The only problem with that Victor and him playing, whatever you guys want to say, is that we won't see your boys shut the door anytime soon. So, anyway, how you were feeling that day between, you know, the Browns and... I just... He was yawning. It was like, oh, my God, what a shit again. That's what I felt during the game. You know, I think I liked those balls, but I think... You should have got fired, like I said, last year.

1:06:25I don't know. He has a couple of games. He better start winning like next weekend, the week after. If not, we should get a new coach and the offensive coordinator, Jesus, with so many tools. So many good players, bro. What are you doing? But they were doing the routes. They had good ideas. I want to be fair. Listen, it was maybe we need Shadour as a quarterback. Oh, my God. Lifetime concussion protocol at his best. Baker, no field. He wasn't accurate, as simple as that. He wasn't accurate at all. The receivers were open. That's a fact. That's a fact. Bucky Irving, amazing. So it is what it is.

1:07:16We have to call it by name, Baker Mayfield. There we go. Guys, what do you think about that take from lifetime concussion protocol saying that most of the falls should land on Baker Mayfield from the offensive side of the ball with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Sockaneers? Yackaneers? What else we're called? Sockaneers. Sockaneers? Okay, we go with Sockaneers. You know, it's a lovely team. Voice. Like Dodala, we have new names for the teams. I'm going to – The Bull Crushers. Who's that? Dallas Cowboys. We'll get into that later. Oh, God. Lifetime concussion protocol. Anyway, I got to say the following.

1:07:57This team was very concentrated during the offseason regarding the contract for him, Vitavea, and we're going to call it like it is. Vitavea, you're not playing. You're acting like a player that got paid, and that's it. Baker, you're saying all the right things, but you're doing all the wrong things. so my man i love you when you were cooking i will say you were baking but you're not baking you're not cooking you're not frying you're not doing anything and you gotta stop saying that you're gonna do this or you're gonna do that then you don't do it it's just that simple we cannot continue with this thing oh i know what the game plan it is we just gotta execute We got to do this.

1:08:50No, no, no. The BS is over. Okay? You got to go ahead and play your game and act like a$165 million quarterback. I'm sorry. You're not doing that. Vida Vea, you got like$30 million, I believe. My man, you got to start earning that money. You're not doing anything. And for the rest of that defense, the only kid that is playing, I think, is Trotter. He's the son of Jeremiah Throttle that used to play for the Eagles, if I'm not mistaken. So completely out of sync. I said it last year very clearly. Top Bulls, you should have got fired before the season was over. And they didn't do it. And what I hate the most, you go ahead and just fire the entire staff except him.

1:09:42Well, GM, I'm going to say this. For showing loyalty, you're going to lose your job also. And I mean this. You were loyal to Vida Vea. You were loyal to Baker Mayfield. And you decided to be loyal to top balls when you knew he was doing a terrible job. Loyalty is going to get you fired. In my book, you two guys should be packing your bags and go. Get out of Tampa. Go somewhere else because it is just a terrible product that looks good on paper, but the way the team is reacting is not good at all. Boys, what do you think about this Jackeneers? I'm with you. I'm with you all the way, man. That team is playing uninspired football.

1:10:37Look, if one side was doing good and the other side was doing okay, but both sides are playing bad offense, is not producing enough points. Defense, not out there. And I said at the beginning of the show, it hurts me. It hurts me to see nephew out there struggling. Now, I'm not saying that he's going to be a world beater. I'm not saying that. But we talked about this. He might be playing out of plays. Whatever it is, they need to find out or come up with a plan to get in the winning track real quick. Now, to your point, I think Boles is gone. probably in a couple more games. If they were to lose the next couple of games, he's done.

1:11:20He's completely done. He's gone. But this is a waste of a year. Yes, completely. They had a lot of higher expectations. And now that they're going to, and possibly most likely going to three, if they lose this game, the season is already over. Yes. I don't think they have – I think they got some players that can make something happen, but they don't have the coaching staff to really make that happen. It's that simple, you know? And I think with a florist, McDermott, that came out of Buffalo, even if you want to make Mike Tomlin and give him the keys to the city, maybe you can bring him back, you know?

1:12:00There's a lot of great coaches out there that can come into this city and make this team relevant again, in my opinion. Mr. Wilson, I know the answer of this question that I'm about to tell you or ask you, I'm sorry, from The Voice. But we were discussing, will you try to make Ruben Bain Jr. into a middle linebacker or maybe an outside linebacker since they're playing the 3-4? Because right now, he's struggling against right tackles at this moment. I know there can be adjustments, and then we'll see the type of player that he was at UM. But right now, back-to-back weeks, the tape is showing how badly he's struggling against those big men.

1:12:49And I think that he should be put, since it's a 3-4 defense, put him in the outside linebacker or maybe middle linebacker. I don't know. What do you think about that?

1:13:01I like that just because I think that he is struggling. Not saying anything about short arms or anything like that. When these guys get their mitts on you, when they're able to extend out and get their mitts on you, it lessens your ability to utilize your speed when they can get you at the line of scrimmage. It reduces your ability to make those moves. I like what you guys are saying. Why? Because it also allows you to move him around. It allows you to get him into stunts where he can go up the A gap and B gap and utilize his speed and athleticism to do different things where he's going up against a different guy every time and a guy is not able to learn him the way that guys can learn a guy as the game progresses on.

1:13:50So moving him around and making that a little bit uneasy for the offensive line to know where Bain is going to be coming through, I think that that's actually a really good idea and you guys should be hired to the coaching staff. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. I'm the one that said that the voice was not in agreement with me at all. I kind of disagree with that because, look, you're asking, you're going to ask somebody to play a completely different position. You know, from what I've heard, this kid, ever since he was in little league, whatever, the guy has been playing, you know, defensive end pretty much most of his life.

1:14:27Now, I'm not saying that he cannot make the adjustment, but to ask somebody, okay, you know, all his life, been playing pretty much the same position. And I mean a three down, you know, a three points stand. I'm sorry. As a defensive end. Now you asking him to rush on the outside as an outside linebacker. You asking that, that guy to drop back in coverage. You ask him to go ahead and, you know, take care of the tight end, take care of the running back in the backfield. What he's used to, what he's used to putting his head down in the dirt and get after the quarterback. It's a lot. You know what I mean?

1:15:01You're asking the man a lot. And if you want to put him inside, then he'll love you, but he doesn't have the speed. So he doesn't have the speed to go side on the side like that. Let's go back really quick. We covered the draft last year. Do you think that basically they drafted the best player, but that didn't fit their defensive scheme? Maybe because the guy's got a world of talent. You know what I mean? But when you ask him to play a different position, and like I said, Paul's me and you talked about it. You know, now he's a pro. He's got to adjust. It's just going to be a little bit hard for him.

1:15:37Let me ask you. We have seen how the tackles are dominating him off the line. This is not making anything up. It's what is happening right now. You made the observation because it's a 3-4 defense. That's probably why he's struggling more. Do you think even if he was on a 4-3, Mr. Wilson, that the tackles probably pancake him the way they are doing right now? or you think that on a 4-3 he will be more efficient? I think that that would help because now you're talking 5-on-4 and you also have to account for any blitzes that are coming up. So at that point, now you're talking about a different scheme and you also have to account for members from the secondary, corner blitzes, safety blitzes, and all those things.

1:16:29So that's a different wrinkle that the offensive line has to prepare for. And it does take an extra guy away from having to focus or having the ability to focus on Bain. Now, if Vita Vey is playing like Vita Vey, maybe he also gets a little bit more opportunities as well. But that not being the case is also probably creating these pain points that Bain is. Right now, this front for the Yacquineers is getting pancaked in every aspect by every single offensive lineman, center, left tackle, right tackle, guards. They're just manhandling them. That's basically what is happening. And another thing real quick, if you see the tape, okay, this is another thing that people don't think about.

1:17:19When you play a 4-3, okay, most of the time, your hand's going to be on the dirt and you're closer to the tackle. you're almost on you're right on his outside shoulder when you play outside linebacker you're way out there which gives that tackle plenty of time to adjust to your cover to him see what i mean because bane that guy has so much power and speed but now when you ask him to play all the way outside he's got that much more feel to go gives the tackle more time to adjust to him I bet you anything. You put them on the outside shoulder of that tackle, things change. I'm guaranteeing you right now.

1:18:00Okay. You should be on the coaching staff. I'm going to make a call. No, man, I'm not. Get you on the coaching staff. It's a short trip. Lakeland to Tampa, man. Pops, after what I went through, I'll be so damn pissed. Uh-uh. No. Anyway, let's go into the Dallas Cowboys neighborhood with Mr. Wilson and let him talk about that victory over the Washington Commanders, better known as the Redskins here at the Sports Ride Show. Because we're old school, Mr. Baseball. You like Redskins or you like Commanders? Oh, man. I had no idea.

1:18:38We'll keep it at Commanders. We'll let you get that, you know, live with that vibe of the Commanders. Let's go into Mr. Wilson's Dallas Cowboys neighborhood impressive victory by them. We know what happened to Jaden Daniels, second year in a row, dislocated elbow. This is the third time in the last two years that that elbow gets dislocated. Before you guys joined the show, I did a show with Top Fun, and we were talking about the draft picks, and I said this about Jaden Daniels. I said, look, I have nothing against his athleticism. I don't have anything against him as a quarterback, but my worries are his frame.

1:19:22And I'm going to look for that and make it a sound bite so you guys can hear it, but that's exactly what I said. And unfortunately, he is playing to that situation where he's just getting hurt. Mr. Wilson, what were the key elements for the Dallas Cowboys to get that victory? The key element overall was playing the commanders. I think that that's always a good opportunity for success. Jaden Daniels, the last play of the second half, even though the Cowboys, it already looked like this game was going the Cowboys way. It's unfortunate that he's going through that, but I'll tell you this right now.

1:20:09One thing that I will say in terms of the Cowboys, I think that the offense looks good. I think C.D. Lamb and Dak are clicking. We need to get George Pickens on board. He had a couple of drops week one. He hasn't really been involved in the offense as much as we would like to see him involved in the offense. And I think that that will come over time, but they've got to get this running game established. it's just like the Houston Texans they rushed 15 times the Cowboys rushed 16 times I want to say with running backs 16 or 17 times with running backs that's not going to cut it that's not going to cut it Dak threw the ball 31 times I want to see a little bit more balance in terms of that I love the fact that they're throwing it down the field but Javante Williams has to get if we want to go the long haul of this season you got to establish the running game early in the season, let these guys go downhill.

1:21:05And I think that's the one thing that I'm kind of hesitant about when it comes to the Cowboys. They need to get that running game going. There we go. Let's go into Colts, Chiefs, Giants, Rams, and the common denominator, the old guys came up big. So between the Colts and the Chiefs, Travis, Swifty, Kelsey had a big game for the Chiefs. They came out with a victory, very close game against the Indianapolis Colts. I think for Mr. Baseball, that was good because that's one of your divisional opponents with the Texans, and they happened to lose the football game in a very, very close game against the Chiefs.

1:21:44And then for the Rams, you know, Mr. Devante Adams, you know, no Puka, Dracula, Nakua for the Rams, and he just took over. He almost had 200 yards, and he had the two scores, so unbelievable time with that. And guys, that's been our coverage for the NFL. We're going to go, it's about time, but we're going to reverse it into baseball. That way, Mr. Baseball feels a little bit more comfortable with what we got going in here. Let me ask you this, Mr. Baseball. How are you liking the playoffs? We already know Tampa Bay happened to clinch the American League East last night. as they beat the Jan Cheetahs Yankees, is already set up that they're going to be facing the Boston Red Sox again for the second year in a row.

1:22:38Who do you like in that series between the Jan Cheetahs Yankees and the Boston Red Sox? And we got to take that one element. They say Judge will be out of the wildcard round. Ooh. I'm going to go with Boston. They're heating up at the right time. and the Yankees are like, they're being Yankees for the past couple of years. They're the same way, even with Judge or without Judge. I don't see them going past the Red Sox. There we go. And plus, I got my ring with the Red Sox, so I'm going to stick with the Red Sox. I like that. I like that pick. Voice, I know you're very happy with that pick by Mr.

1:23:21Baseball Hector Cepeda. what do you expect about this wild card round between the Boston Red Sox and the Jan-Cheater Skankies? Yeah, I'm going to start off by saying this. It's going to be completely important, imperative for the Red Sox to take game one in New York because that series is going to be starting New York. It's a very short series. It's a three-game series. You know, whoever wins two moves on. With that said, it's imperative. that the Red Sox win the first game in New York. They did it last year, and then they lost two in a row. Now, next thing. They said that Gary Crochet threw off the mound in Fenway.

1:24:05I think he threw something like 16 or 20 pitches. The guy says he feels great. Now, he says he's up to the front office, you know, to see if they bring him back for the playoffs or if they sit him down for the wild card series. He's not sure yet what they're going to do. My opinion, supposedly he's going to throw again on Sunday. If he feels good again, hey, bring him over as your setup man. Maybe he can help you out with an inning, even if it's two or three outs, two outs in a game. That's a big weapon that you can bring back. I think they should get him into – get some pitching before the series starts.

1:24:43Let him face a couple of batters and see how the juices start reacting and see exactly. they might even put him in a game because they only got like five games left which by the way, I don't know if you guys noticed but I'm doing this every now and then I've got the game on 0-0, they're playing Cleveland, bad news Zidane Rafaela he pulled the hamstring and yeah they took him out of the game here's my problem with hamstrings you don't know if it's going to be a one day thing, a day to day or a week to week. Yeah, like Caleb Williams. Like Mavon. Well, correct. That's what I was telling you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:25:27But did he go on the ground and start going like this? You know, thumbs up. I'm gone for the year. No, he didn't. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. That's what I wanted to make clear. But, you know, but the guy was just, you know, he was like, damn, you know, doesn't feel right. Whatever. What I'm saying is that's a huge blow if he cannot play versus the Yankees. You need everybody healthy. You need every player available. So, Rafaela won't be there. Judge won't be there. We don't know if he is or not. Okay. He kept on grabbing his hamstring. You can tell. So, they took him out. But, again, he might be back tomorrow.

1:26:04He might be back in a month. With these things, you don't know. Hamstrings are very tricky. You don't know. I don't know. But you need every player. Yeah. It looks like it's going to be Cleveland or the White Sox going to be the third wild card. The rest of the teams are pretty much almost out because we got, let's see, 1 ,700. Well, it's five games. Mathematically, the Rangers are still alive. The Blue Jays are still alive. And the Baltimore Orioles, 4.5, 4.5. And then the Rangers are three out. But I think at the end of the day, Cleveland wins the division or the White Sox win the division. And then the other team is basically the wild card.

1:26:42So it's pretty much decided. in this case the Yankees and Red Sox and then that means the Houston Astros will have to face the White Sox or the Cleveland Guardians and then the other team will have to buy and Tampa Bay will be waiting ironically same thing that happened last year the Blue Jays happened to win the division they won all the way to the World Series Yankees got eliminated let's see what happens with the Tampa Bay Rays and see if they can make that push happening this year. So we'll go from there. Yeah, go ahead, sir. I was about to say the last thing. I believe that, and I'm going to keep it positive here, when the Red Sox beat the Skankies, I believe that they will play the race next.

1:27:31Wow. You know what I love about that? For me, a perfect basketball season is when LeBrun, the queen of flop, is out. Well, in baseball is when the – For me, it's when the Jan Cheetahs skankies are gone. That's a perfect baseball season for me. So I'm waiting for this one, and I want the Boston Red Sox to really go ahead and take the Jan Cheetahs skankies out of the page. I think the first game is next week on Tuesday, baby. If I'm ready. Hey, once the Red Sox, they have to play the race, we have to go to a game voice hold on I'm going to ask my wallet now she's been laughing at me lately hey listen them tickets are going to be well remember I met somebody's brother I talked to you about it that's right so let's keep it on Mr.

1:28:34Wilson maybe you made the trip but I think we can get tickets We can get tickets to the game. Yeah, for a baseball game. So you can hang with us, you know. It won't be bad. In the National League, it's pretty much done, in my opinion. Cubs, Philadelphia, and San Diego Padres, they're all 87-70. And Arizona Diamondbacks looking outside with four games left, and then the Pirates are seven games.

1:29:09So, numerically speaking, the Diamondbacks are still in it, but I think it's pretty much set up. And then the number one seed is also to be set up between the Brewers and the Dodgers, 98-59 for the Brewers, 97-60 for the Dodgers, and the Atlanta Braves are 92-65. So, basically, these two teams are going to decide who's going to be the number one seed in the National League. Mr. Baseball Cepeda, who do you like between the Brewers and the Dodgers? Brewers and Dodgers? Yeah, who do you prefer? Oh, man. I want to say the Brewers, they have to get over the hump. They've been getting knocked out the first round so many years.

1:29:56This has got to be the year to get over that hump, to get to the next round. Once they get to next round, I believe they'll blow up and go beyond. I don't think I don't see the Dodgers going. You don't think they'll through beat? I don't think they're going to repeat this year. I mean, there's going to be a lot of fans out there going, hate to hear that, but I wish I was on the show last year with the championship game, but they got lucky to win the championship last year. They are the hottest team right now in the National League with a five-game winning streak. The Dodgers are. The Dodgers, yeah.

1:30:37Yeah, the Dodgers are the hottest team right now in the National League. And I think last year, the Brewers ended with the best record in baseball. And then we saw what happened in the playoffs. And I remember The Voice and Teddy Mac. Big shout to Teddy Mac down there in Middlebury, South Carolina. Big time. the Blue Evil Empire, L.A. Dodgers, he basically said it the same way that the boys expressed. Look, the playoffs is a different animal than the regular season. And he showed up last year. So do we agree on paper that they're going to win it, right? Because they got so much talent. Oh, yeah.

1:31:19I mean, everybody should be going after the Dodgers and try to pull the upset. Let's put it that way. If there's a team within the National League that they can do it, I think it's only Milwaukee. I agree with baseball Cepeda that that's the only team that has a chance to take the Dodgers off. The other teams, Cubs, you know, no, I don't think they have the opportunity to go ahead and, you know, anything can happen in baseball, but in any series, but I don't think Chicago Cubs, you know, my surprise them besides Milwaukee, Philadelphia, the Phillies.

1:32:12Yeah. I mean, I, I like Philadelphia besides Milwaukee to have a chance against the target. And I'm saying just a chance. I'm not saying they're going to beat them. So, uh, Mr. Baseball, So if you were a betting man, who would you bet on the Dodgers or the Brewers?

1:32:32I'm going to stick with the Brewers. It's just a matter of time they have to break out. It's just a matter of time that they have to break out of this funk every year in the playoff. They're the strongest team in the division, in the central, and it's time. You know, it's time that they learn from their past experience and to know what they've got to bring into this year now. So it's up to Pat and see what he's going to do this year. Yeah. Mr. Wilson, last year you were picking the Brewers to be that dark horse and coming out of the National League. You still feeling the same this year, or you think this is a matter of the Dodgers just taking over?

1:33:14No. I picked them this year as well. I think that just like Mr. Baseball is saying, And the more and more chops at the tree you get, the more accustomed you get to how that environment feels. The Milwaukee Brewers have just been at the top of the league for so long. And the one thing that they haven't overcome is that, that ability to when the lights are brightest in October to get over that hurdle. And I think that this year, just like last year, I felt like they had a chance. But I think that the more and more you get yourself into these positions, the better the chances will be that you can knock down Goliath with a slingshot.

1:34:02So I think that's a good thing. Yeah. What I like about the Brew is that young ace, they're having their rotation. Yes. The Miz, no. Question voice. If you were the Atlanta Braves, who do you want to play? The Cops, the Phillies, or the Padres? And they're all tied with the same record, 87 and 70. Wow. I don't know, maybe the Padres. Okay. I mean, that's a tough one. I mean, because all three teams, you know, can, once they get there, all three teams can be, you know, can do a hell of a job. because if you make it to the playoffs, you made it there for a reason. With that said, look, winning a World Series is hard enough, right?

1:34:54Winning one. When you repeat, that's freaking unreal, winning back-to-back World Series. And I'm talking about World Series, Super Bowls, and every pro sport. If you 3P, you're special. If you 3P... Please don't say that. Like Michael Jordan. Yes, ask to the greatest of all time. Thank you, Mr. Wilson. That was a good one. I'm tough. I'm tough. But he was the referee's preferred. Anyway. Oh, please. But if there's one team that can do it, it's called the L.A. I'm still in their band. The Blue Evil Empire, baby. I'm still in their band. The Blue Evil Empire. I will call them that for the rest of my life.

1:35:42uh

1:35:48what was that Mr. Wilson he ain't gonna pitch Tommy definitely not gonna pitch but you were right I think it just comes to think about the Phillies they do have veterans they do have guys they're still in the team that play world series against us the Houston Astros and they have a good manager yeah so yeah I was taken back right now. They do have some veterans in there on that team. But I want to go back to the American side. Yeah. Let me go ahead and finish here with the National League. And like I said before, the Atlanta Braves, like Boyd said, maybe playing the Padres or the Cubs will be a best thing for them than try to face the Philadelphia Phillies.

1:36:38let's go back because Mr. Baseball wants to go back to the American League do you want to talk about the Jan Cheetah Skankies that's what you want to do because if you do I'm going to send you to lifetime concussion protocol I want to talk about our division Astros and Rangers oh okay there we go that division right now they're both so whoever wins stays whoever loses goes home yeah yeah i i am that's my team the astros if we don't happen to go to the playoff we're already having drama in the in the office already going on okay closed door um i'm scared i'm more scared of the rangers they have veterans in that team even pitching wise and they have a one-two punch that can go in the playoff and dominate this American side.

1:37:40Okay. I know that when 81 and 81 last year, right now both teams are playing one game under 500. They're 78 and 79 respectively. It seems like the Houston Astros have the tiebreaker because they put them first over them, over the Texas Rangers. so we'll see what happens but that's interesting that one team will go home and the other one will stay in the playoffs by winning the division and then they're going to have to play probably who they play they'll play the weakest wildcard which it will be oh we don't know yet but oh the White Sox they will have to play the White Sox Whoever wins that division is playing the White Sox.

1:38:29The White Sox are not catching Boston Red Sox or the Jan Cheetahs, Kankies. So whoever wins that division between Houston and the Texas Rangers got to go face the White Sox. The biggest surprise team of the year, by the way. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And I see one of the Texans going to win that one. Oh, wow. Experience. experience so i i'm i'm gonna put mr baseball on the hot spot again mr baseball if you were a betting man who's coming out of the american league to make it to the world series the world series that's that's that's a tough tough tough one but it is it is a tough one um it could be anybody it could be anybody except the giant cheater skankies And I'm going to go just like we just talked about the National League when we talked about the Brewers.

1:39:29Man, I'm going to go with your hometown, Tampa. Oh, there we go. I mean, look, as long as there's no other team than the Jan Sheeters-Kankees, yeah, we would love to see the Red Sox there. But if he happens to be the local team here at TV City, that would be great because we can go to a World Series game uh boys tamper tamper has the same result as the brewers and but at least the tampa made it to the finals was tying and of course it didn't go well it's it's time to uh it's time to shine now this year i've been keeping an eye on them very briefly and i go well if they do go man that this is the year they have to win it it goes well with the brewers as well now if you can have a temporary race and uh brewers going to world series oh wow oh my god that's a different ball man that's gonna be that's gonna be to close uh this show tonight i'm gonna ask the following question and i'm gonna go ahead with all three answers here that you guys uh respectively will bring in if the Dodgers to repeat are they the best team in the National League history even that the Cardinals got more championships than them are they're the best team in the National League if they happen to three p let me start with uh Mr.

1:41:02Baseball Mr. Baseball you think if the Dodgers happen to three p are they the best team in National League history It's well deserved to be the best team. They went 3P and it's hard to go 3P. It's very hard to go 2P. So yes, I have to agree with that. They will be the best team in this generation. Unfortunately, the last time somebody 3P was the Giant Cheaters-Kankees, 99, 2000, 2001, which I hated. It makes me sick. I'm going to have to go back to the hospital that the voice came from. because I hate the fact that I have to talk about that. Mr. Wilson, do you think they'll become the best team in the National League history if they happen to 3P?

1:41:55Again, I'm very rough with this, like, going through generations thing. I think that just like Mr. Baseball said, I think that of this century, you would have to say that they are based on these teams over the past 10 years or 20 years, having to go by the same salary cap rules and things like that. Like this wasn't possible or this wasn't something that would be happening years ago because there was a little bit more loyalty to cities and contracts weren't as crazy. But in this generation, I would have to say that I can't remember a team over the past 15 years or so that has been this stacked and this dominant.

1:42:37So, yeah, I would have to say in the turn of the century, yes. Voice, best team in the National League if they happen to repeat? I'm with them. I just finished saying winning a World Series is hard enough. Repeating is remarkable. Repeat is almost pretty much impossible. Question, has any other team in the National League ever won three World Series ever. I don't think so. Won three straight or won three? No, no, three-peat. Three-peat. I don't think so, right? I don't think so. Yeah, I don't think so. And this brings some great teams. Maybe in the old school, maybe the Cardinals because the Cardinals got the most championships in National League history.

1:43:26Actually, in baseball. What about the Reds? Because I know the Reds used to be the big Red Machine back in the day. back in the 70s. But I don't think anybody has done it. Just the fact alone that if the Dodgers accomplish that, you got to say yes. You just got to say yes. And I understand that there's no salary cap. There's no limits to whatever you can sign or whoever player you can sign. But still, it is absolutely unreal if they win, if they 3P. It will be completely unreal. Yeah. Go ahead, Mr. Wilson. Yeah, it sure will be amazing to see a three-peat win from the Dodgers, or for anybody, really.

1:44:12But that's what happens when you have the money to sign the top nice players. Yep. So nobody can hate on the Blues. You know, it is not their fault. It is the league of the commissioner and everything to open that door. So if you didn't want to spend money, I guess you're going to get the product that you didn't spend on the Dodger. That's where I feel baseball is about to change this three Pete and the way it happened. It will be another thing. Like I struggled with this just because it didn't come through their farming system. It didn't come through. It didn't have an organic and natural way of forming.

1:44:58This guy's a free agent. We can sign a check. This guy's a free agent. Let's write him a check. It wasn't a natural progression, which is what baseball kind of came up on. That was the whole reason for minor leagues before, because everybody back in the day, for the most part, stayed with their farming system. They brought guys up from the minors. It was part of your organization to kind of organically build these players. And that's not the way it is anymore. That's why I struggle with saying that they're the best because they don't really do it the way the team before who had dynasty used to do it.

1:45:36Boys, to your point, yeah, you're absolutely right. We'll be the first National League team ever in baseball history from the National League side to 3P. to purchase a three to purchase a three-peat yes yeah so the chicago cops won 1907 1908 the giants 1921 1922 the big red machine 1975 76 and we have the dodgers now you're winning back to back uh so yeah they'll definitely write history in the national league and they'll be the first one to ever repeat from that side? Sports boss, when we talked about it, me and sports boss, we're talking about it, you know, off air a lot. And also on air, remember I told you, I'm, you know, I'm just enjoying baseball so much because unfortunately, I think we're not going to have baseball next year.

1:46:29I hardly doubt it. Because of crap like this, that's why. Negotiations are, you know, standstill. Like the players are saying, no, you know, no salary cap. They're standing on it firm. So you know what, guys? I'm going to enjoy this playoff run. Oh, my God. If I can watch every game, I will. I'm going to say it again. They don't know they're still going to get their money. It's going to be so spread out throughout the league, and the competition is going to get better because of the salary cap. It doesn't mean guys are not going to get paid. It just means that you can't stack the deck. That means you have to go to the Royals.

1:47:11That means that you have to go to the Astros or to the Diamondbacks. You've got to send this out, and there's going to be more competition throughout the league. I think it's going to be great for baseball. They've got to get out of this old way of thinking because this is not good for the sport. Mr. Baseball, just so you know, we discussed in a previous show that there's going to be a lockout next year. There's no doubt that it's going to happen because the Baseball Players Association are saying there's no way we're going to accept a salary cap. The first structure was that teams needed to spend a minimum of$175 and not spend over$250 million.

1:47:52So the Dodgers, what they have, like$500 billion in salary. No, I don't know what they got. I know they supposedly on the first salaries, like Bobby Bonilla's structure,$1.1 billion. Not millions with a B like Lifetime Concussion loves to say. With the B, billions. That is insane, man. It's insane. So, Mr. Baseball, like you said, look, it's not the team's fault, okay? Basically, if you want to win in today's baseball, whatever you want to call it, world, you got to spend the money. you got to spend money if you want to win to your point mr wilson i get it you know salary cap you know it'll make every team you know you can win it in any given year you know bearing injuries but as a player they don't want that they want as much money as they can get you know that but but but they're gonna get the money they just have to go to other teams because just like they said each team has to spend you gotta spend 175 mil this is not just oh well maybe we'll defer it to another you have to spend the money this is within those guidelines so if you're trying to sign players the money will be there you just can't stack the deck the way that you used to which means the marlins need to pay that means there's going to be more competition and i think It's going to bring more interest from fan bases because you don't always have to worry about evil empires like the Gantries or the Dodgers just back in the day.

1:49:31Mr. Wilson, not in Miami. We all know Miami. People don't care in Miami. Cut it out. Yeah. The problem with that, Mr. Wilson, I get your point, you know, by having the teams be spread out and have more talent, better competition. The problem is asking a team like Tampa Bay,$88 million for the last four or five years, the average. Yeah. They don't have the fan support. They don't sell out every game. That's what I just told Mr. Wilson. The Marlins, you have the same issue. How are you going to make a Marlins team to pay$175 million? You're going to have to move them. You're going to have to start relocating teams where the cities, even if they lose 100 games, they're still going to the baseball games and backing up their city and their team.

1:50:25That's the issue with that. Does this league not still have revenue sharing? Yes, they do. Of course they do. So at this point, they're going to be completely fine. At this point, you're just trying to make sure that these guys get more. because right now all they're doing is lining their pockets. They're allowing the Dodgers to go out there. These guys ain't losing no money. Don't start – No, they're not. Don't go back for these billionaires. They ain't losing no money. I can guarantee you that. They're doing all right. It's time for them to start spending money, make the product better, even out the competition throughout the league and make this a more competitive league.

1:51:02These billionaires, they'll be okay, I promise you. If they want to move, then they can move. But ultimately, at the end of the day, these guys won't be losing money. Major League Baseball will not be losing money unless they go on strike. So, Mr. Wilson, what you're saying is that if the Monards were more competitive, you would go to more games. You would go to more home games. No. There you go. There you go. You see what I'm saying? There you go. That's a problem. You're not in Miami. I lived there for 34 years. People don't give a crap. Let me ask you this quick question. Let me ask you guys something real quick.

1:51:40Do you guys think that this is the 1960s? Because I can tell you this right now. Through media and television and sponsorships, that's where you make your money. It's not about filling up a$30 ,000. Yes, that's a different stream of revenue. But when it comes to actual revenue and the way that guys are getting paid and the way that's your TV deals and radio deals. It is not because they put people in the seats. That's nice, but that's not where it's coming from. They're coming from all of these other sponsorships, these TV deals. That's where the billions, and I'm talking billions with a B, that's where that money is coming from.

1:52:21You remember when Alex Rodriguez got that$250 million contract by the Rangers? For 10 years. For 10 years. Guess what the Rangers did? for the local TV in Texas to have the Texas Rangers games, that TV station paid$300 million for 10 years. Damn. And we're talking 30 years plus easily. These TV deals are insanity also, you know? So to your point, Mr. Wilson, I understand. My$20 ticket that I get for the nosebleed, trust me, the billionaires didn't even see that. They're not even worried about that. That's such a tip. It's true that in Miami they actually pay the fan to go into the game? No, I'm just kidding.

1:53:11Dude, you can get tickets at like BK. Oh, okay. There we go. But again, that's marketing with BK. Like they make their money at other places. Yeah, yeah, they do. They do. I mean, just having that television, that TV deal. They make you money with, okay, you get a$20 seat way up there in the deck, but buy a$20 beer just to drink, and there goes your money right there that comes in the apartment you're talking about. That's true. The meal, the food, the drinks, and all that. Oh, no, it's insane. To go to a game now, you got to think about twice. I mean, look, this is my father. He tricked me. You know Mr.

1:53:52Gonzalez, Santos Gonzalez. He goes, I got tickets to the Marlins. I go there. He takes his grandson, you know, and I go, okay, we're at the game. He makes me a deal. He goes, I got the tickets. You buy the food. And I went and said, yeah, why not? Why not? It was three of us in the first round of popcorn, hot dogs, burgers, and we didn't drink beer. We were just drinking soda. brother I spent$180 between four people I was like this is the last time I come to a game with you unless you're paying for the food and then I find out that he got the tickets for free that was even worse he played me my own dad played me I got a I don't mean to hear he didn't play me he would say oh my goodness the morning I played on good baseball right now, okay?

1:54:55That's Santos Gonzalez, you know, and Mr. Wilson knows him. So he knows what I'm talking about. In the 60s, back when TV deals and TV wasn't a big thing, a lot of that, a lot of the revenue came from, yeah, it was some sponsorships because they would still have things on the fence and on the walls and stuff like that. So sponsorship always existed, but you needed to fill the stadium. You needed to get people in the stands because that's where your viewership, a majority of it came from and that's where the popularity came from but now it's changed so much yeah hey chino come over here that's where you go that's what you're talking about it's a being a general manager you'll get the the sign those top free agent to um bring to your team and that's where the money comes in because you're bringing the fans in like you said that was back in the days and I still think it'll happen now.

1:55:56It'll be okay. These billionaires ain't losing no money. I promise you. I apologize for the song. It was Lifetime Concussion Protocol with Show Me The Money. Guys, it's been a heck of a show. Mr. Baseball, thank you for being here with us tonight. I'm going to put you on the spot. All the time you come to the show, I'm going to put you on the spot. Like, where the hell is Manny Ramirez? I am waiting for Manny. Tell Manny that I'm waiting for him. I can't get him in here in the show. I can't even get him in all the smokes. He has a mind of his own. So I've been pushing his wife to let him know and his cousin.

1:56:36And we can't even get him to the other one in the show. But hopefully soon he'll finally get to his head and say, yeah, I want to join. Tell him we'll have Mangu, Sancocho, you know, whatever, you know. Mr. Baseball, let Manny know that my cousin says to come see him over at the shop. My cousin has a tinted window, whatever, car stereos, whatever, down right across the street from CB Smith Park in Robert County. He used to tell me, Manny used to come in all the time. he's done so much stuff with me you know for his viewers yeah there we go I know this is going to be on but I'm actually got a call late last night from the China professional baseball league I'll let y 'all know on that okay let us know I'm still waiting on the MLB but I'm going to wait until after the season is done for Manny gotcha manny's preaching that's what he's doing what manny ramirez yes yeah yeah he is okay

1:57:51yeah yeah yeah whatever you know lifetime i'm trying to no no for real he's pitching he's in with me with the lifetime concussion club okay there we go yeah he's now preaching oh he's preaching yeah i'm sorry i take that back y 'all have seen him preaching on on on social media. There you go, brother. I saw that. I thought he said pitching. Me too. I was like, I'm looking at it, pitching. No, no, pitching. Manny will pitch too. Manny will do whatever, bro. And he'll probably do it good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's been doing, he does it from his car. He'll go and share the word. And I have seen a few of those.

1:58:31As a matter of fact, Mr. Baseball, he puts those videos on social media so people can see what Manny's doing. Yeah, Manny's a freak. Whatever he does, he'll do it good. It is what it is. You know, don't doubt him. I wouldn't bet I'd get him against him. All I know is that I want Manny Ramirez at the Sports Right Show. I don't know what I'm going to have to do, but whatever he wants, you know, mangoes, sancocho, merengue, bachata. What else can we offer him? Fritanga I don't think it's going to go for a little while By the way, to all the ladies at the Lakeland Hospital, including Joanna and the rest of the staff, thank you so much for taking care of the biggest baby that I've ever seen in my life.

1:59:23Hey, listen up, man. I was hurting. I really could sleep. I went through hell. But I'm still here. Hey, Sports Pop, a big shout-out to you, man. A big shout-out to you, man. You know, we share a couple of funny moments. Thank you for spending time with me. I know you were tired. My man made me go through a scare. And you know what was funny? One of the nights, the nurse comes in to take his vitals and everything. And then they were going to take blood. And I hear going, ouch, ouch, ouch. And I'm going, what the hell is going on? He was boys. Six, four, 280 pounds of ouch, ouch. Hey, they don't call him big pussy for nothing.

2:00:07Hey, let me adjust the damn mic. That needle was thicker than a two-by-four. All right? That's all I'm going to tell you about that. Listen, you have – We saw the needle. Boys. But I'm not going to say anything else. Hey, boys. You have thicker things inside of you. Yeah, but I let him out in the toilet. Hey, by the way, this Saturday at Trinity School, We're going to be at last call with the fire department. The Cuban sandwich. You better be there. Don't start giving me fucking excuses. This Saturday, don't give me. I'm not going to be here. I'm going to be away, actually. What? Yeah, you know that.

2:00:50You knew about the show. You knew that I was going to be away with the Florida Immigration Coalition. We have their conference Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Who can replace lifetime concussion protocol? Wait, Chino, are you going to deport it?

2:01:08I wish they tried. Anyway. I wish they tried. Mr. Wilson, are you making the trip or not? I was planning to. Uh-oh. That means no. Voice, how are you feeling? Are you coming? Is that still the plan? I don't know if I'm going to stay. If we do go, I don't know if I'm staying for the whole thing. I'm still a little bit winded at work. You know what I mean? I went out of town yesterday. I'm still feeling a little bit winded. I got to catch my wind still. But, I mean, even if we go, I just don't know if we can stay for the whole entirety of the show. Got it. Okay, the show starts at 6. I'm going to be there for pre-production at 12.

2:01:51I have that meeting, and then I can, you know, relate everything when you guys come in. I will stay safe. You can make it there. I don't know exactly. I know the wrestlers are coming in at 1 o 'clock. I was talking to Deputy Prado's son today regarding the production of the show. So we'll go from there. But I guess it will be myself and The Voice if he comes in with Mrs. The Voice. Maybe Mrs. The Voice goes into the room since you cannot go in. I'll put on the shelf. Yeah. I'm actually going to be doing something amazing because I got hired. My company got hired to, Sports Pub, you know about this, for the audiovisual equipment.

2:02:37So we're putting. Don't talk to me. Talk to the hand. But you know what? They're doing amazing things. And this is something we could talk on a show. They're concentrating right now with people from Haiti that are in this country. Okay. And it turns out that I'm very close to the cause because my kid, when he came back from Spain, of all the offers that he could have taken, he met with Roberto Baptiste, an entrepreneur that owned a team called Diaspora, which was made of very talented kids from Haiti. That's Profe. El Profe. No. El Profe get the offer? Your son? Yeah, yeah, the prophet. That's what I said, the prophet.

2:03:26So he got the, I thought you were talking about Roberto. So Roberto Baptiste, he had a team of 15 kids from Haiti, age 17 to 21, amazingly talented. And there was another kid, Jason Nicolette, who was a star here in Tampa, very famous among the teams here in Tampa. And the prophet, Ian, they were the only two white kids in that team. and Ian Roberto Baptiste asked the prophet to be the team captain and he was the team captain. I was very proud of him. And now some of those kids are being deported and those kids have been here since they were three, four years old. They don't even know how to speak French or Creole, so they speak English.

2:04:17And obviously they are an easy catch because of their color, but some have been deported. And so we're doing something about that because, again, you know, some of those kids are here legally. But, again, we're doing what we can, but it's very sad, very sad. It breaks my heart because it's like if they ship my kid to Puerto Rico right now, well, it's a little bit different because my kid speaks Spanish, but he's been to Puerto Rico probably four times in his life, and he's 26. Okay. So he doesn't know Puerto Rico. So anyway, guys, it's been a heck of a show. Thank you for not coming to the thing on Saturday.

2:04:55And this is planned how long ago? Unbelievable. Lifetime concussion protocol. He's doing it to me. I thought you were going to be there. I'm going to deport you, Sports Pop. Oh, you can do that. I mean, I've been deported before from a lot of places. Believe me. I've been deported before. I won't go into where I got deported from, but I've been deported before. Believe me. Believe me, I'm being deported. Anyway, guys, to Mr. Baseball Actor Cepeda, thank you for being here with us tonight. Boys, I'm glad you're doing great. Once again, to all the people at the hospital that took care of this big baby, he's on the Guinness Book now as the biggest baby ever.

2:05:36Listen, my respects to you, Sports Bob. Like, I wouldn't change his diapers, but my respects to you, bro. I didn't change no diapers. Well, that's not what you told me. At least you just smell funny. I didn't change no diapers at all. That's for sure. And the wipey, use the wipey? No, I'm not getting to that. No, thank you, sir. No, thank you. Mr. Wilson, we had a little scared with the big man here, but he's doing fine, as you can see. And we'll be here next week again. Some way, somehow. Hope to see you, boys, on Saturday. And you, Mr. Wilson, I know I won't see you. Boys, did he use the wipeys?

2:06:13Boop, boop, boop. a lifetime concussion protocol. Exactly.

2:06:22What happened at the hospital stays at the hospital. Anyway, to all our fans, thank you for tuning up with the SportsRide Show. To the boys, to Mr. Wilson, to Mr. Baseball, to the one and only Lifetime Concussion Protocol. Keep your engines running. The SportsRide Show is here. Thank you.
