0:08Welcome to the Sports Ride Show with Sports Pops Listen to the voices if you want to get in trouble with the voice of T's Dallas Cowboys neighborhood with Mr. Wilson It's about time with Top of Maverick And the big crew Star your engines The Sports Rise Show is right up

0:44Welcome, everybody, to the Sports Rise Show. I am your host, Sports Pops. And I got to tell you, here at the Sports Rise Show, every sports story belongs to you. Let me by saying that this show is brought to you by Milorion. If you want a professional podcast, if you want an amazing business strategy, marketing campaign for your business, Milorion is the place to do it here at TBCT. But in order to bring all this amazing sports action, I got to present our... Sheen is playing with the volumes, and I just lost you all, guys. Well, let me start with the voice. Voice, say something to me right now.

1:26What is going on, fellas? Okay. There we go. Can you guys hear me clearly? Okay, good. That's your headphones. Yeah, that's my headphones. If I go like this, guess what? It's magic. Okay, there we go. You don't hear shit. Okay, there we go. I still can't hear shit, but anyway. Of course, the florist shop with the profe. And he's sitting right next to me, so we're right at the studio. We just got a brand new studio. Milorian relocated at this beautiful setup that we have now. We look very professional, by the way, with this new setup in here. We look. We look. And of course, because we got a take on SummerSlam 2026 recap, we got the one and only Top Taker.

2:17Top Taker, how are you? Oh, I can't hear you, Top. Go ahead. There we go. I can hear you. How are you doing? Everything good? I'm great. You're great. There we go. How great it was for you, in your opinion, with all the results of SummerSlam. How you like the results, and where is the movement of the WWE going? Because, you know, they are doing some weird, say the least, some shit that doesn't make sense. But we'll go with it. They're doing some weird stuff. As far as Liv Morgan goes, I didn't want Liv Morgan to win. I did. She looks good. She does. But it's like, you know, when is it going to get to that point where, you know, they're going to give it to EOS Sky?

3:14I mean, now they can because it's over and done with. But I'm like, you know, that wasn't fair. I mean, I like the fact that, you know, they kept rolling it with a lady from Lyft. With Lyft. Lyft Morgan. Lyft Morgan. I think it's a good direction with her. I think she brings the fans. I don't think it's Sky. Yeah, she's a great athlete, brings a lot of athletic moves and everything else. But she's not good at the mic first because she has a language barrier. Let's start with that. So that brings your power as a star. It comes a little bit down. But they're waiting for Mami to come back from her injury and face Liv Morgan.

4:05That's going to be the big one right there. Yeah, you know. I was going to win that one. Yeah, so let's go with the first night that it had a lot of action. And, guys, I'll get with you guys in a minute. But let's start with Obafemi and Brock Lesnar held in a cell. What a match. I happened to be watching the match with The Voice. I was at his house, you know. He invited me. He invited me to his house to watch SummerSlam with only one condition. I brought all the food, all the drinks, and everything else, and that's how I got to watch it at his house. But besides that, then for the second night, I told him that I was not going to be able to bring food and drinks, and he said, don't come over, you know, stay home.

4:52Yeah, that's exactly how it went. I'm telling you, top ticket, that's the way he is. Now, Ian, I mean, oh, throw the flag. El Profe was not where to be found. El Profe. Profe, did you watch any of SummerSlam? I only got to see a little bit. Just a little bit? Just the ending. Yeah, I know. Well, you know what? El Profe's not a real big wrestling fan. Oh, there goes our Undertaker. Oh, no, that was Chino. I'm sorry. That was Chino. By the way, I forgot to say for this show not to make no sense at all. we need, you know, producer, director, cheerleader, but better known as Lifetime Concussion Protocol, Carlos Flores, better known as Chino, and an old version of The Undertaker.

5:36You just saw him walking, you know. Yes, sir. Yes, we did. Yes, we did. Definitely. But Brock lost the match. It was a great match. They put on a great show. At the end, after all the aftermath and everything else, he decided to come into the ring, even that he was at his hometown of Minnesota. And I'm hating the fact that for whatever reason, Triple H and Michael Hayes and the creative team at WWE is deciding that when a wrestler is going to retire, they want to embarrass them. They did it with John Cena, and now they did it with Brock. I would have had Brock. If you didn't want him to win, make it whatever disqualification, whatever you wanted, and let them fire a third one.

6:27But to have him losing in Minnesota and then have to, you know, he's going to retire now. It's been the announcement all day long. So we'll see where that goes. But, boys, how much did you enjoy that match, Hell in a Cell, with Obafemi and Brock Lesnar? We were watching it together, like you said. I liked it. You know, it was a lot of physicality. then went back and forth the way it should have been. But remember when I told you once the match was over, I said, oh, wow. I thought it was going to last just a little bit longer than what he did. I'm a little bit surprised at that. Now, Obafem is still up and coming.

7:08He's not really a veteran like that. Guys, give me one minute. I got to laugh. You should have seen what the prophet did. He's sitting on his chair, but he pulled the one across him so he can lay back. You know, I got to get comfy. He has on a lazy boy or something. You got to get comfy. Oh, my God. He's comfy now. But it's all good. But go ahead, boys. Sorry about my interruption. It's just that the prophet decided to do. No, no. It's all good. It's all good. But, I mean, I love the match. But like I was telling you, Obafem is still up and coming. He's not really a longtime veteran. So maybe that has something to do with that.

7:45But I would have liked for the match to have gone just a little bit longer. And with that said, I had a question for you guys, for Liv Morgan. Do you like now that apparently the man came back along with Itzfakir, her last name? Oh, yeah. She came back on Monday night, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah. Yeah. So do you guys think now that Liv and the man are going to go at it? Or do you think it's going to be a triple threat match? The way it looked, I think it's the beginning of a triple match. And Top Taker, tell me, you think that's going to be a triple match between Liv Morgan, Bicaria, and then, yeah.

8:35She's from Chile, correct? Yeah. Yes, she's from Chile. Okay. But I think it's going to be a great match, you know, in a three-way match with Becky Lynch. And I've got to tell you something. And Ric Flair, to me, is the best promo guy ever in wrestling when it comes to a microphone. But when it comes to the woman, I take my hat off to Becky Lynch. Oh, my God. That woman is that good. She's amazing on that mic. And, you know, that's why she, you know, she brings everything in when she goes in with anybody and makes somebody look even better. Let's put it that way. Some of her wrestling, I'm okay with it, but I think her mic work is just unbelievable.

9:28So, to me, she's the greatest of all time when it comes to the mic on the lady side. Hold on, Spores Pawsman, I got a question for you. So, Ric Flair, we're talking about Ric Flair now. Woo! Yeah. But there's a lot of wrestlers out there that once they get the mic on their hands, I mean, they are phenomenal. Oh, no, no, no. I'm not saying, but for me, the best ever is him on the mic. Wow. On the mic. I have to throw. I got to throw in Dusty Rhodes. He was pretty damn. They made magic together during the NWA years. Let's not even talk about The Rock. I mean, The Rock used to have 20 ,000, 30 ,000 people in the palm of his hand, you know, doing whatever he wanted.

10:13Stone Cold, you know, Stone Cold, he had you on the edge of the seat without them. No, no, no. I'm not saying that those guys are no good. They're amazingly in their own way of shape. The king is... To me, Ric Flair is the best ever. Okay. For me. Not a bad choice. For me. Not a bad choice. You know? uh profe who you like on the mic well uh i think i know the answer but go ahead you go for it let me think let me think no listen so i used to watch a lot back then you can you can ask my family i was watching every every monday every friday i was tuned in i think and i mean it's gonna sound corny but it has to be john cena it has to be oh wow but but i will say the rock The Rock is up there.

11:05The Rock is hands down the best. The best of the best. His mic work, his wrestling, even outside, he stays in character when he needs to be. I mean, he's just top-notch. He does everything. He does everything. Yeah, The Rock is another one. I mean, if you do it, Mount Rush. Yeah, correct me if I'm wrong. He's probably the most profitable wrestler in WWE, right? Hands down. If you combine his acting career... No, no, I'm talking about, like, so, for example, if there's a main event happening, are you putting... If you wanted to make the most money, you wanted to have the most viewership, who are you putting up?

11:45It was them. The Rock and John Cena. Now the new generation has Roman Reigns doing that. Yeah. Roman is the new ticket. He's the new meal ticket, baby. In town. Well, right now, yeah, right now, he is it. Yeah, yeah, he's it. He's it. Who's your Mount Rush, Sports Files? Well, we know you got Nature Boy. I got Nature Boy. Who's the other three you put up? The other three, I'm going to go Dusty. Okay? I got The Rock. Let me tell you something, brother. For you, it could be that. But I'm liking Roman Reigns to be in that mountain rush of mine. So I like Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair, The Rock, and OTC, baby.

12:38We acknowledge. Well, at least I acknowledge you. I don't know. What about you, Top Taker? Do you acknowledge the OTC? Of course. Every time he comes out, I always got my freaking layer. There we go. You see? There we go. You know, it's not the middle finger voice. It's this one. Okay. Oh, no, no. Oh, no. Your fingers are so big. I got confused. My middle finger is saved for other people and other teams. Wait a second. Something like that. Okay. Like that. Okay. There we go. No. Anyway, back to the business of wrestling. Really quick, we talked about Lesnar with Obafemi. Obafemi, we know now that he's going to be like the future of wrestling.

13:28Right now, the present is Roman Reigns, hands down. Let's talk about what happened between CM Punk and Cody Rhodes. It was a great match, very entertaining. And then we had... The Viper come in. The Viper came in, put on the RKO on Cody Rhodes. And then, you know, Punk went in one, two, three, and, you know, it was over. I'm glad Cody Rhodes didn't win it. That's all I have to say. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. Yeah. You know? For me, it's been quite enough. They should put him on a back burner like they do with Gunther and see what happens and then create another story, a different story, and then bring it back up.

14:13But right now, you know, CM Punk is another one very good on the mic. he's very good on the mic he's very intense on that mic that's what I told you from the very beginning CM Punk was the man and he still is yeah so CM Punk defeated Cody Rose he stayed the undefeated champion then Fado influenced the Bella Twins and then they attacked Paige the Bellas I love the Bellas What about you, Prophet? Yeah, I love him for different reasons, but keep going. Well, I got the same reasons I did you. It's nothing about wrestling, believe me. Nothing to do with wrestling. Why I love the Bellas, you know? So, we got to see.

15:02So, did you see that one twin comes back from injury? And then the other one goes out with an injury. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was kind of weird, but yeah, it happened. It happened. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, so, so Brie Bell, I hurt his shoulder. Yes, she did. You know, like towards the end of the match, she just couldn't let go of the shoulder. She looked very uncomfortable. Kudos to her for staying out there, you know, feeling that type of pain and still putting on a show. She didn't do anything else after, but she was out there just saying, oh, my God, it hurts, and kudos to her, man. What about Top Taker?

15:38What is your mind rush, in your opinion? Of what? Wrestling? Oh, are we talking baseball right now? No, we're talking wrestling, baby. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I was still talking about the mic. Yeah, yeah, let's put it the mic. It's a combination of wrestling ability and mic. I think it's the whole character all around, how they bring the intense and entertainment within the sport. So who's your top four right there for your Mount Rush? It would have to be John Cena from back then when he was okay okay who else what's your other three it would be let's see um the rock okay boston okay just because stone cold he he had no filter the guy had no filter oh yeah stone cold was you know straight up yeah it's amazing and who's your fourth one

16:44If I had to pick a fourth one

16:49It would be Roman Roman, there we go Roman from now Yeah, yeah, the Roman from now Not the one from the beginning At the beginning I didn't like him At all But now with the Acknowledge me Acknowledge me Can you do that voice? acknowledge me. I cannot do it. Last night he says, Lakeland, acknowledge me. That's kind of weak, man. Have you taken your vitamins or anything? Yeah, man, but I'm not going to be screaming. It's more like, Tampa Bay, acknowledge me. You know, somewhere around there. Thank you, thank you. Profit, can you do the acknowledge me? No, no way. He's not doing it. I'm not good enough for that.

17:44I'm taking it. Acknowledge me. We got your mom rushing there. Let's talk about now the second night. And I want to start with the women's ladder match. Before we go into the second night. Yes. Did you guys see the Fatal Four, a match for the men? Oh, yeah. Oh, but the Fatal Four, but that was night two. Yeah, but I'm starting with the ladies first. Ladies first. Have some manners, Tom Taker. Ladies come first, please. And especially when it's Chelsea Green, baby. You know, I'm going to be honest. I'll be the first one. I always said that Trish Stratus was my favorite, but I got a new favorite.

18:27It's called Chelsea Green. And she looks good. So you dropped Chris Trattis. I haven't got a call or an email lately. So yeah, definitely. I'm dropping her. Yeah. Chelsea Green, baby. She's the new champion. You like that one, Prophet? That one's good. That one's good. Yeah. Do you also like her for other reasons like the Bellas? Or no? Wrestling ability? Wrestling ability. Wrestling ability. He likes Chelsea for wrestling ability. I do too. I do too What about you Top taker, do you like Chelsea Green Being the new champion I do I really enjoyed that match I really did It was a heck of a match The ladies put on a show They put on a show If I had to Literally You know Give them a percentage I would give it to them all the way.

19:33Yeah. They put on the show. I'm glad that finally they allowed Chelsea Green's character to be what it needs to be. Because let me tell you something. That girl, when she did the presidential thing, hands down, she was killing it with that. She knows how to bring her character to any situation. Plus, she's very good looking. You know, besides that. Voice, do you like Chelsea? No, don't say anything like you like Chelsea Green. Just say that she's a great wrestler. I don't want Mrs. Voice jumping from the third rope and kicking your ass live on television. You know, that would be something. I mean, people will pay for it, but, you know, it is what it is.

20:23Yeah, man, yeah, she deserves it. And let me tell you, Chelsea Green came, you know, from, like it's back in the day, even a couple years ago, she will come on and she'll wrestle here and there. People knew who she was, but maybe it was a combination of her character that wasn't that great. And remember, there was a streak where she would go into a match and she would hardly ever win. Yeah, correct. She was always losing match after match after match. She paid her dues. Yeah, she won it first, I think it was last year. She only held the title for a few weeks. And now she has her back. So like you were saying, she has character.

21:03She got the looks. She has the moves. She got it all. To be a champion for a while. Yeah, she's a total package, like they used to call Lex Luger during the old school of wrestling. But it's a different total package, if you know what I mean. Anyway, top taker. After that, we saw the match between Baron Corbin versus Trick Williams. for the United States Championship. And Baron Corbin defeated my boy. Whoop, that trick. Whoop, that trick. You know, I don't... And, you know, no offense to him, but I think Baron Corbin, he's born. I mean, he brings a different element that I think WWE was missing with the top, you know, with the bad guys.

21:59And you needed to go ahead and bring that kind of formula into it. He has this long hair. It's like, why can't you do it then? And he's in great shape. I think they're going to have other plans for Trick Williams. I believe Trick in the future will be a heavyweight champion. But not now. Later on during his career, I think that that will happen. And for sure, you know. But it was a good match. And, you know, Barry Corbin went and he's the new United States champion. Top Taker, do you think he's going to change the belt or he's going to keep it, you know, with the way that Trick Williams belt was?

22:40He had like the white fur all around it. Who, Barry Corbin? No, no, no. Trick Williams' belt, because, you know, he wears that white fur jacket. His belt was made with white fur all around it. So I'm saying if Barry Corbin is going to keep that just to mock Trick Williams is my question for you, Top Taker. He might, but then again, we don't know. We'll find out. We'll find out soon. We'll find out. uh this the voice and i were on the same page this that housing thing man bro what the heck the heck going on i mean it seems like there's a a circus act during the wwe with that house and for me i'm not a fan don't get me wrong i know he's selling you know everything jerseys you know People paint their faces when they go into the arena, blah, blah, blah, blah.

23:46Perfect. It's a little bit of a theme of marketing, I guess. But to have him winning matches against good wrestlers, where are you taking this? You know somebody had the audacity, WWE radio station now in SM Radio, to say that Dianhausen maybe should become a world champion? No. I said, go ahead. you should be tested for drugs. Whoever said that on the show. Dan Houser should be a world champion. For the love of God. I hate it. I want to get into this match. Penta versus Chad Gable. Finally, Chad gets his own individual championship. Did it in his home of Minnesota. I love that part too. Two great wrestlers.

24:40they put on a show and we have a new Intercontinental Champion and if you've seen tonight raw they fought together they were tag teams yeah I mean they're great fights I think in the in a further event down the line they'll face each other again I don't know if it will be for the Intercontinental Championship but I know they will be facing each other So I don't know about all of you guys If you saw it But after Chad Gable wins The belt Cool moment of the weekend He brought his family in the ring And he celebrated with all of them That was pretty cool man That was a cool thing to see That's how we're going to do When Chino goes into the Hillsborough County Cherries department And wins the match With the Cuban sandwich And we go one, two, three.

25:40He's going to bring everybody to the run. Hey, I need you to talk to the chief or deputy, whoever. I want to be a heel. I want to start out as a baby face. I want to end up as a heel. You know, now that you mention that, I should not take shots at our beloved Mr. Wilson. I'm going to say it really clearly because I'm a straight guy just like Stone Cold. We almost had a Ryan Clark moment here at the Sports Right Show, and I'm going to leave it at that. But you know something to resolve this whole situation? Mr. Wilson, let's do a match during the Hillsborough County. You and me, one-on-one, no disqualification.

26:25No disqualification. I know you right now in Paris, France, wherever you are, having a great vacation with the beautiful Mrs. Wilson, of course. And you enjoy it yourself. But when you watch this, remember, I challenge you to a wrestling match, no disqualification in September for the Hillsborough County Fire Department. Go for it. Can I be the referee? No, because you might betray me and be on his side. I know how you roll. Actually, you know who can be the referee? El Profe. No bias. El Profe. El Profe can be the referee. No bias. Oh, God. El Profe. Hands down. You know what? You're right. You're right.

27:13I can't be the ref because I've got my boys back. Oh, yeah. You will hit me with that chair so fast, it will be over like in 30 seconds. You son of a gun. Anyway. Oh, my God. Let's go into the fatal match that I know Top Taker wants to talk about where they brought Kevin Owens back. Yeah, yeah, he was salivating that one. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. That was your favorite match? Yes, sir. Oh, wow. Do you like the fact that Kevin Owens, after being almost a year out, is already on the top of the mountain as the number one contender? I don't like that. You know, you gotta... I mean, hey, I'd rather have him than have Luther win.

28:05You know, this would be like having Mr. Wilson after his seven-week vacation and Top 5 not showing for three months, and when they come back, I go, oh, they're the best in the show. No, you can do that. You can do that. have a back seat, work back your way up, and then we'll talk about it two, three months later. But just to come out of nowhere, I'm the number one contender. That sucks, in my opinion. But hold on. Hold on. Hey, Top Taker, I'm with you because I'm kind of tired of Gunther, man. He's a great wrestler. He's pretty good on the mic, but I'm tired of his ass, man. Gunther reminds me of Sammy.

28:48They complain. That's how they do. Well, anyway, we got Kevin Owens now on top of the mountain after being out for a year. One match, and I'm the number one contender. Thank you, everybody else, for, you know, working out, doing their job. I came the same way. I haven't lost one pound. Might have gained five. And I'm the number one contender. Thank you. Thank you. But did you hear the crowd when he came back? Did you hear the crowd when he came back? Man, WWE world, they'll go like this. They'll go, wah, for you, and they suddenly go, boo. They're like a switch. They're like a switch. Hey, even the prophet saying yes, that is true.

29:33That's true. Man, they switched on you like it was, you know, like, I hate you. No, I love you. I hate you. I love you. That sounds like my marriages. No, I'm just kidding. But it happens in that situation. But it is what it is, man. So let me ask you, Sportsbox, let me ask you, who do you want it to win then? In that four-way? Yeah. Finn Balor. I mean, yeah. He deserves to be back up there. Yeah. I mean, maybe, maybe not right now, but I believe that he actually, he will be back. To me, he's the best wrestler out of all four. And if that. The most of. When they put him back up there. he shouldn't go back as himself.

30:23Well, I don't know what's going to happen with him because, you know, putting him on the back seat and allowing a guy that has been out for a full year to be the number one guy, it has to be, you know, I would like it. It's like me right now when Mr. Wilson comes back next week and I'm going to go, oh, and instead of saying listen to the voices and I go, Dallas Cowboys, neighborhood with Mr. Wilson first. No, no, no. You don't do that. You don't do that. You know, as a matter of fact, I wouldn't even introduce him next week. I'll leave him out. I'll leave him out for being out for three weeks.

31:02And almost causing a Ryan Clark moment. I'm not going to say anything else about it. I'll wait for him to come in. And then I'll see if he accepts the challenge. You know? Oh, boy. If he accepts the challenge to go on a one-notice qualification. Oh, you cannot be on his corner, voice. Why? You're banned. Because I know what you're going to do. You're going to betray me. No, no, no, no. Yes, you will. Yes, you will. Look, I'm going to be out there just to make sure the match is here. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You'll be on the back area. I might sneak in some brass knuckles to here. We'll give you a couple of Cuban sandwiches with Deputy Prado, and you'll wait for me until I finish the match with Mr.

31:45Wilson. Oh, my gosh. They can keep his sandwiches. El Profis is going to be the referee, and he's going to be on your side. No, I got no bias. Oh, I would never do that. I got no bias. You take my character. I'm all for the good match. Exactly. You see, it's going to be an even match called down the middle, baby. Yeah. Hey, may the best man win. Yeah. That's it. Yeah. If I hit him low, I hope he don't see it. That way he don't disqualify me. But I'm going low. I thought there's no DQ. Oh, that's right. But I'm going to hit him low. Is LCP going to be a sports box? Is LCP going to be in your corner?

32:30Oh, lifetime concussion? Of course. Then I got to be in my boys' corner. No, don't even try that. You know, by the time I ask LCP for a chair, the whole thing will be over. And next week, I'll get the chair. So no, it's not happening It's not happening Don't even try that way You can ask him half an hour in advance No, two days in advance To get the chair But anyway Yeah, go ahead Top taker You know To wrap it up What was this whole mixed signal Between Roman and Seth? Oh yeah, that's right At the end of the match Yeah Go ahead and elaborate more on that one voice because I didn't get to see it.

33:21You didn't invite me to your house on Sunday. So if we look closely into the match, they were actually implementing things that Dean Ambrose would do. Oh, it's been speculated for months and months that, you know, Ambrose is coming back. For months. but when I heard that Dean Ambrose it's under contract until next year that's what I read I have no idea so what top takers say that at the end of the match you know they were looking at each other they were sitting at opposite ends in the corner sitting down looking at each other so Roman Reigns he stands up comes to the middle of the ring and then he puts his right hand yeah left hand and then you got Seth Rollins looking at him thinking about it.

34:19So he stood up and then they – It can make sense that they'll go ahead and get away from the OTC and the family thing. And go back to the Shield? You never know. That'll be something. And then if you look at the way Seth Rollins was dressed, he was referring to the shield. Yeah, not only that, Tom Taker, you saw that he had the mask. Yes. They used to wear when the shield was. Who wore that mask? And he left it in the middle of the ring. Yeah, I think they call it, they call it Ambrose. I think he's coming back and then we'll see exactly how they're going to do it. But it would be something. and if they decide to get away from OTC and the rest of the family and everybody start doing their own thing and see how he goes, and then he goes with the shield, you know, who knows?

35:18Who knows exactly how they're going to do this. What happens to the bloodline if that happens? I mean, I don't know. What do you think, Profe? Bloodline goes away and the shield comes back. Oof. I like the bloodline I love the bloodline Like Jey Uso I used to love Jey Uso I mean still to this day You know what I think I think if the shield was to come back together And all three of them do their own thing I think the bloodline is strong enough To do their own thing on the side Yeah They'll be on a war against the shield They'll be on a war against the shield hands down probably yeah probably yeah probably hands down we'll see what happens good content anyway roman reigns finally defeated set rollins one-on-one no you know nobody came in to interrupt the the match no no square and then and then by the way so um rollins at one point got a chair and put it in the ring, but then Roman Reigns took it away, and then he had the chance to hit Roman Reigns in the back.

36:35I'm sorry, Seth Rawlings. Seth Rawlings. And he threw the shirt to the side and said, nah, man, let's do it fair and square. So it remains to be seen what they're going to do. But the shield might. Man, at least there's some professional athletes that do things the fair way. You know, they're fair about their sport. I'm not going to say any names. I'm being very good. Oh, wow. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, before you start giving me that attitude. I've been excellent the past few days. I think you should give me a medal for saying, hey, for my behavior. I've been in great behavior all week long. Anyway, guys, this is our segment regarding, you know, WWE.

37:14We do it all the time with our, we call it our WWE correspondent, Top Taker. Top Taker, it's a pleasure having you again. thank you for all that information but give me something else stay tuned money in the bank which would be in two months money in the bank what do you think is going to happen who's your prediction to win that money in the bank wow give me an early prediction who you think will win the money in the bank because usually whoever wins the money in the bank, they become a champion. Yep. You know, last year was CM Punk, if I'm not mistaken. No, no. CM Punk won, and then Seth Rollins came in and took it away immediately.

38:06Yeah, that's what happened. I take that back. But who do you think is going to win it? I do believe that Seth Rollins will be back in that picture. Who? Seth Rollins. But then again, we don't know because it's too soon. Seth Rawlings. Seth Rawlings. It's kind of soon. It's kind of soon to tell. I'm thinking more like I said. I don't want to see him anymore like that. I'm thinking about Gunther again. No, you know who's going to win it? I'm going to give you my early prediction. Whoop that trick. Whoop that trick. Trick Williams will win the money in the bank. Money in the bank? He will win the money in the bank and eventually become a champion.

38:51That's from the guy's side. Now, from the lady's side, from the lady's side, who do you think can win Money in the Bank? Wow. Me, I would say just because she just came back. How about Stephanie Bacare? She just came back from injury. You know what I mean? I don't think they're going to handle the championship right away. So, she's a good candidate, I think. Stephanie? Good candidate. But then again. Stephanie Bacare. But then again, we can't leave out Naomi. Oh, man. Well, did she have the baby already or not? No. No, no, not yet. The one that had it was the STA, the one with long hair. Yeah.

39:40Oh, man. Belair. Wow. Yeah, Belair. Belair. He's right. Belair. But I don't think she had the baby yet. So I don't think so. Yeah, she did. I'm going to give you a juicy one here. Rosanne Perez will win Money in the Bank and challenge Liv Morgan. Remember that. And will challenge Liv Morgan for the championship. Let's create some juice. Let's create some juice here at the Sports Right Show, baby. What if it's Raquel Rodriguez? No, Raquel is the Intercontinental Champion. She's going to stay there for a little while. She deserves that. She pay her dues. Let her, you know, enjoy that title. But since the one with no gold is Rosanne Perez, she's going to go ahead and win it, and she's going to go ahead and challenge Liv Morgan.

40:30Because it's always been that little game in there behind the scenes with them. Like she's tired of everything they do, and then they push her to the side. So I can see her winning the money in the bank. So I got whooped that trick, and I got Rosanne Perez. Judgment is going to break up. Oh, who cares? But anyway, I just feel my two predictions. I mean, who knows? Hey, if I get these two predictions, oh, my God, definitely you guys got to hand me the title as an expert for picks. Except in soccer. I mean, let's be real. I pick Spain. before the whole thing started. Did you? So you picked it because you really know about soccer.

41:21Well, I knew they wanted the... Look, I got a good question for sports pops. Go for it. Just give me one player on Spain. One.

41:33Oh, damn, bro. Just give me at least one. They owe me one. Wow, you know... I got one for you. One penis? One penis? No, I don't know. No. What about the kid Williams? Williams? Yeah, the American last name. That kid, he didn't play. He was injured. No, no, no, no, no, no. You had another. The one that hit the head back, and then they scored the one. Yeah, yeah, that's Williams. Well, he was injured. But then he came back. He came back at the end. Exactly. There we go, Williams. Yeah, I guess. I gave you one. There you go. And I gave you the play. Boop. You did. You did. That is the play. Goldspin, baby.

42:17Hey, don't worry, though. I still got the Dodgers winning the MLB. I did, too. So we're on the same page. But now with everything that is happening, you know, I will get into baseball in a minute. But I want to say, hey, Top Taker, thank you for being with us tonight. It's a pleasure. Let's see what we do next. Let me know what is the next main event with WWE, and we go from there. Okay? Yes, sir. Love you, brother. God bless you. And we'll be around. Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Bye, brother. Okay, guys. Let's go back. We finished with the WWE business. Let's go into Major League Baseball, baby.

43:01The Red Sox keep winning. And the trades, it just was a crazy bonanza this past week before the day trade line. Let's talk about the one that everybody's talking, which is Scoble went to the Dodgers to the Blue Evil Empire. When I saw that happening, not the fact that they got him, but what they offer. Three minor league prospects for the back-to-back Cy Young winner. It looks to me like they had a bag of Benjamins under the table and say, okay, thank you, guys. We just want to go ahead and three-peat the best way possible. But, you know, he had an outing yesterday against the Cubs. They lost, anyway, on his debut.

43:54Did you get a chance, Prophet, to see any of the highlights? Yeah, yeah, I saw it. Okay. I mean, from what I've been seeing, I don't know who exactly is injured and what's going on. I mean, they just got swept back-to-back. so I don't know I don't know what's going on right now but I mean obviously I think once playoff time comes that's when they'll flip the switch and it's go time I mean with that pitching staff because what is the other two guys that are hurt Glasgow and they got a couple of starting pitchers including Othani itself I mean you can bring Othani for an inning if you want to if you need that reliever to come in and do his thing during the playoffs.

44:44Voice, how you feel about that trade besides sick to your stomach? Man, it's like, so before I say anything, I think I read that the Dodgers, you know, deferred money because right now they're kind of saving a little bit of money. You know, they're not paying most of the players up front. But I think I read somewhere where they're going to actually end up paying over a billion dollars to all of these stars on that team. Oh, they had deferred$1.1 billion right now. Deferred money. $1.1 billion. I just pulled it up. They said they're paying Edwin Diaz until 2047. Oh, that's another one. I'm not joking.

45:29Oh, El Boricu is hurt. And he's the closer. Yeah. So that bullpen will get stronger when he comes back. I don't know if he's gone for the year or not, but I thought he could come back. I'm not 100 % sure. But, I mean, they're loaded. Once everybody gets healthy, for the love of God, I hope somebody can accept them because I really don't want them to win. Not anymore. You know who I think would be a good contender is the Phillies. Wow. I think, I mean, from what I've seen, and I just started watching the second half, so I'm kind of picking back up on it. I like their squad. I really like their squad.

46:09You know who's dangerous? Because they started playing very well. They took a big lead, Atlanta Braves. Then they were fading away, and suddenly we're playing baseball again. That's another team there, too. And, of course, I love the Milwaukee Brewers. But it's just too much. Right now, the Dodgers are looking like the L.A. Rams. on paper, brother, it's a nightmare. It's a big nightmare. So my question is, so I'll give you an example in the soccer world. Teams in one league, so for example, in La Liga in Spain, when Real Madrid and Barcelona, the two biggest clubs, like they do not deal within each other at all.

46:57Like you very, very rarely see a player go from Real Madrid to Barcelona and vice versa. Like that just does not happen. Why? Because there's competitive edge, and you're going to play them again eventually, and you don't want to play against a player that was just on your team, right? Exactly. So considering, like, these pitchers going to the Dodgers, why is that a thing? Like, if it was me, I'm like, fuck that. Dodgers, you don't need to trade for anyone. The tricky part here, and I'm going to go to the voice with this one. We know that we're ready for a lockdown after December 1st. There's probably no baseball next year.

47:32Yeah. So, Scuba is not going to resign with the Dodgers. Well, they cannot afford him. And if they happen to get a deal done, it means there's going to be a salary cap in there. So, for sure, the Dodgers cannot afford everybody they have. Okay? Yeah. Unless they do the luxury tax like they do in basketball and you name it. Correct. And then that would be the formula, I think, in my opinion. because right now how you readjust all the payrolls in the big leagues. They were talking about it the other day. You have the Marlins spending about$85 million,$89 million. Now you want them to spend$172 because that's the minimum they want.

48:17Now you want the Dodgers to reduce from the$300 plus million to$245. Hey, hey. You know, what's going to happen? I mean, I'll be honest with you. The Marlins can go ahead and spend the money, but the fans are not there unless they're winning. When they had the winning streak, everybody was going to the ballpark. Now, back again to we got free tickets. Who wants them? You know? So that's a big problem for those small market teams, you know? I feel sorry. Look, the Athletics just happened to move to Vegas. and, well, for the first year, they might not play after moving to Vegas. And, you know, this thing for baseball, regarding that salary cap situation, it's going to get really, really, really nasty.

49:10And I'm going to tell you this. In my opinion, I don't think baseball got three players like McGuire and Sosa to do what they did to bring baseball back, even that everybody calls it the steroid era and of course the show put by Barry Bonds. You don't have that. You don't have that. I don't know what you're planning unless you think Otani can win 20 games and hit 50 homers in a year to be the guy bringing it back and then win the Cy Young at the same time as the MVP but we are seeing that his body cannot do it even though he's a DH. just the fact that he's doing both things doesn't allow him to stay in both sides the entire season.

50:01And we have seen it year through year. It's not like, oh, it just happened this year. No, no, no. Every year we go to that sequence. I'm pitching, I'm hitting, and suddenly I can't pitch. I will be able to hit now. I might be able to stay out a few games. I don't know if I'm going to come back to pitch this year. So all those elements are always playing with Otani. So I don't think they have a core players that can bring baseball back if they decide to stay out the whole year, in my opinion. Voice, what do you think about that? No, I don't think there's any. I mean, like you said, Otani, yeah, but even though he's a phenom, you can't expect him to bring baseball back by himself.

50:44You just can't. You will need a few players to bring it back. but going back to the lockout, you know, man, it's going to be ugly. It's going to get really ugly, really quick. That's why I'm enjoying baseball so much right now, because who knows? I mean, we might not have baseball at all next year at all. So who wants to see, I'm sorry, but who wants to see double A and triple A players? You know, I guess they're up and coming, but it's not the major league baseball, man, that we're used to. Boys, and you know very well that I brought this subject months and months ago. They were not even on spring training.

51:23And I said, guys, let's get ready because 2027 is going to be a nightmare for baseball. And right now, they're not even negotiating. They're not even trying to put anything on the table. You want a salary cap? Good for your owners. Players? Bye. We're not doing it. So we'll see exactly how that ends. What do you think is going to be the future of baseball, Profe? Yeah, I mean, so let me ask you this. What would happen if, let's just say, another team but the Dodgers won the chip? If a different team wins the championship? Yeah, let's just say the Rays win. What would happen? Look. Let's just say they beat the Dodgers and they smoke them.

52:11It doesn't matter who wins the championship. Let's put it there. Whoever wins the World Series, congratulations. It doesn't matter at all. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. The players are locked into we are not having a salary cap in baseball. We don't want it. We have the right to make as much money as we want. The problem with it, look, it's okay to make all the money that you want in the world. No problem at all. the problem you're having is from a competitive standpoint that you're going to keep talking about Dodgers Gen Cheetahs Skankies you know the Mets even that they don't win they put a lot of money they will be always the teams that you're going to be talking about because the small markets won't be able you know they won't be able to compete against these big big market teams so if you want to make baseball more competitive, then something needs to be done.

53:13Well, like I said, I think if they reduce the amount of games and make it worth it and valuable every single game, then everything matters. For example, in England, in the Premier League, there's 38 games. But every single point matters. In the NFL as well, every single game matters. The Dodgers right now, They just got swept back to back, and it's like, oh, whatever. I mean, wait until playoffs. Yeah, everybody's waiting for that one. So it's like, you know, it doesn't mean shit, you know?

53:51Boys, on my opinion, anybody can win the World Series, and it won't matter. I think the lockout is going to happen. I thought it was going to be a strike, but all the experts out there are saying, no, this is going to be boom, boom. We're going to lose the year, and then we'll see what happens. on the bargaining table after losing the year. Remember the last time it was the Blue Jays won the championship and two years later, that's when baseball started again. So it took two years. Yeah, wow. Okay? So, but what brought it back, and now everybody starts talking, oh, they use steroids, blah, blah, blah, blah.

54:29People, it's Sammy Souza and McGuire don't put on that show. We won't be watching baseball today. Hands down. Whatever you want to say. Canseco was on a podcast the other night, and he was talking about the same opinion I have. Look, if steroids will give you the eyesight, the back coordination, the bad speed, then all of us will take it, and we'll be playing professional baseball and at least making a few millions of dollars. So let's stop it, you know? Steroids doesn't do that, especially in baseball. So maybe a fly ball that it was 380 feet becomes 420. But besides that, you know, that's it.

55:10You still got to have the eye coordination. You got to have the bat speed to be able to hit that ball with that ball coming at 100 miles per hour, you know. And the other funny part, it's not that the batters were the only ones using. We had a lot of the great ones being accused of using steroids, the great Roger Clemens. so you know that ball was coming 98, 99, you know, no matter what. I don't know what they're using today, but a lot of people are throwing 104, 102. Unbelievable. I don't know what they're doing, but whatever it is, keep doing it, I guess, you know. But boys, what can replace the absence of baseball if that happens?

56:03You talking about another sport? Yeah. What can I fulfill at least? I know football will take over in September. Baseball becomes a second thought onto the World Series. Or at least into the American League Championship, National League Championship, and whoever's going to be on the final show. But you know, it fades away once September comes and the NFL takes over here in the United States. You okay? So for that space between when the NBA is over, what can go ahead and give us that bit of action between, you know, what is happening? Golf? No, I'm just kidding. Why doesn't the NFL just play year-round?

56:56Let's play 12 months of football. Oh, man, you know how many people we're going. Look, we're in training camp, and already the defensive end from the Falcons is gone for the year. Yeah. ACL. That's it. I mean, that's the reason it's, to me, the most physical game. On the surface of Earth. That in hockey. Yeah, yeah, of course. But I don't hear that many injuries as much as you hear in football in hockey, in my opinion. I know people get hurt, but not like this. This is like every day, oh, well, ACL, that one was carried out. I mean, Xavier Worthy was carried out on a cart the other day. And Kansas City was really deep.

57:43I got to ask Profe, Profe, how many injuries in soccer, brother? Hey, man. Injuries happen in all sports. I had to throw a shot. Well, no, but let's do the question again. I'm going to back you up on this one, boys. How many real injuries and how many fake injuries? Oh, God. Oh, here we go. That's the question. Hey, man, I'll tell you this. There's probably way more ACLs torn in soccer than there is in football. I'll tell you that. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Look it up. Look. Go ahead. Look it up. That's numbers. Look for the numbers, me and boys. What is wrong with this new generation?

58:29I know they all die and then they come back. Oh, Undertaker. Oh, no, no, it's Chino. Lifetime concussion protocol. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm going to have to chime in, you know. Listen, Profe. You cannot bother, you know, this guy. Oh, he came to defend the Profe. Oh, my God. The Undertaker. Full of protection. It's like rugby, but for pussy. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. You know? Hey, I heard LCP used to play football, but he was the secret weapon. The man never came off the bench. Ever. I don't know about that. I don't know what happened there. But, Professor, what's up? What's your final verdict?

59:18I'm looking it up. Don't worry. Okay. All right. Now, for sure, and don't tell me no, for sure, soccer is the number one sport where they all die and come back to life. Right or wrong? Listen, man, it's part of the game. It happens in every sport. Hey, you know what? Hey, to be fair, though, if we're going to say that, how about all the linemen always on the ground after every play? Did you ever play offensive or defensive linemen? No. Have you ever played soccer? Okay. Yeah. I did. No, I'm not talking about the over 40 co-ed league. No, no, no. When I lived in Colombia, I had to. And I'll be honest with you.

1:00:02I went to the official field. It was an embarrassment. So I had to play micro. Micro football. That's it. That's all I could play. That's with the midgets? No, it's just five players on five. You know, a small court. Yeah, yeah. You smart ass. Anyway, but I was able to at least, you know, be there. Yeah. So, listen, there was. How many times did you die on the field? Who, me? Yes. I died for real because he was a long-ass field, and the guy, you know, he kicked the ball and kept going, and I tried to catch him, and I go, poof, yeah, that was it. No, no, I take my respect when it comes to kicking that ball and, you know, the guy.

1:00:47It was funny. I was guarding the guy like I was playing American football, and the guy went and swept the ball like this and that, and they kicked it himself, and then he was gone. Yeah, yeah. I saw him just passing me by. Listen, I'll always say this, and there's no doubt about it in my opinion, but soccer is by far the most technical sport in every single sport. Oh, I got to tell you. It is by far the most technical. Like, if you don't start at a very young age, it is impossible to catch up. Impossible. Like, you see it with kids nowadays. Is that what happens to live time concussion protocol?

1:01:26It starts so late? Yeah, yeah, it starts late. That's why, honestly, yeah, yeah. Listen, if you. Our own undertaker is here. Go for it. I can't hear myself. You can? Uh-oh. Not yet. I wonder why. yeah no but but but by far though it is definitely the most technical sport considering you know every other sport you're using your hands soccer is the only sport you use your feet so and people people don't know the coordination of how to use their feet with a ball versus with their hands like a soccer player now me for example i can go play football and and route someone up one v one but if the other way around if a football player wanted to go one and one v he went against me in soccer no chance can he tackle you so who's that can he tackle you no don't get me wrong obviously in every single sport the pros are the pros like that whole debate between the nfl can the nfl player play in the nba and vice versa no one can neither of them i will say though it's probably easier for an nba player to play in the nfl but we have seen a lot A lot of tight ends.

1:02:38Good tight ends play basketball and then transition into the NFL. But let me tell you this. Basketball's gap, the NBA gap between the G League is insane. That's actually the biggest gap I've ever seen. In soccer, it's pretty close. Like a really, really good college player. Ain't that where Bronny should be playing at the G League? Yeah. And they had him on the big boys. Bronny was scoring 40 points. He was averaging 40 points a game. 40. Rodney should be playing. Hold it. Can't hear you. We cannot hear you, brother. But Bronny should be playing college. Yeah, yeah. Hey, so one tight end comes to mind.

1:03:16Here's that one. What about that one there? We're trying to get a lifetime concussion protocol on the show. Dos, dos, yes. There we go. Yes, you see? You can listen. The boys, you can listen now to my sweet boys. Oh. Yeah, baby. Oh, my God. Boys, this is just for you, baby. Oh. The championship. Oh, the championship. Yeah, yeah. One of your four teams might win it.

1:03:47I'm multifaceted. Well, we know they got the Raiders. They're big-time Raiders this year. I know the odds. I just like them because Fernando Mendoza. But I know the odds of a rookie quarterback. Oh, don't say that name. Why do you want to get him all out? The U-Destroyer? Oh, no. Come on, man. Don't do that. I won't even say it anymore. I won't say the name anymore. Listen, that coming from two guys that don't know anything about college football, it doesn't affect me. Wow. It doesn't affect me. The producer had himself muted. Hey, L-C-E. I just found out. It happens to the best. I'm never going to forget the draft.

1:04:33as soon as nephew was picked, who went to the computer and goes, Ruben, Bain. Boy, he was doing his research about the player that came to Tampa Bay. That's it. They think that you were looking at Bain because you didn't know who he was. I knew who he was. You see? And I'm excited about him. He knew. No, listen. He was doing this. They brought on the computer. We kid around with the U. You know, they're a good team. Hey, hey, hey. What number was he? Number three. Who? Wasn't he number three? Who? Bain? Oh, Bain is number three with the box. Get the fuck out of here, boys. He's number three with the box.

1:05:15Boys, do you know what was Fernando Mendoza's? Well, you don't know his number. Man, that's the past. We're talking about the present. Listen, he's mentally affected by Fernando Mendoza. He's the destroyer. The destroyer. If you knew him, who he was, you should have known what number he had, right? If you knew who he was. Yeah. But why are you changing the subject? We're talking about the beast, the raider beast, the U-Destroyer. Don't change the subject. No, no, no. Say the name. Say the name. Say Fernando Mendoza. Fernando Mendoza. Say the name. Say the name. That's your second team. Man, I'm telling you.

1:05:56Who's your third team? Who's the third one? Oh, Cleveland. I'm sorry. No, no. I like Shadour so he can kick your ass. Shadour. He loves Shadour. I'll take the Cleveland Brown over the Dolphins any day. Any day. Wow. Shots fired right here. No, actually. No, listen. For real. Who's the quarterback of the Dolphins this year? Because I'm not even sure. Malik Willis. Malik who? Malik Willis. Who's that? He was the backup for the Green Bay Packers. For the Packers. Oh, boy. Athletic. So here we go again. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. We're not saying anything special about it. We're just saying. I'm going to say this.

1:06:39You're a Dolphins fan, too. I used to be. I got divorced. I got divorced when they got Tua. I will say this. Malik Willis will play better than Tua. At least I can give you that. Hey, listen. El Profe, who's never thrown a football, will play better. Look at that, Coen. Coen Sakai. Hey, you know what? I won my UCF intramurals. I was the quarterback. 4v4 championship. I got a trophy at home. Don't worry. Hey, bring it on. Bring it the next time. I'll bring it. I'll bring it. Trophy, trophy. It's like this big. Yeah. Wow. Anyway, guys, we were in baseball and the sports ride show went into another ride.

1:07:26All I'm going to say to our baseball fan is enjoy what is left of it because you're going to have a lockout in 2027. Unfortunately. I mean, I will do anything for that to happen. But there's no way. You know, the players association with the players are into no salary cap and the owners want it. So we'll see. Sports, I got a question. So something's got to get, right? Who do you think is going to give in first, the players or the owners? Someone's got to give in. Well, remember, if a CBA is over, the collective bargaining agreement December 1st will be over. That means the teams don't got to pay you.

1:08:15Yep. So the owners got businesses and money that they're making somewhere else. They can take the hit. regarding what baseball is not bringing in revenue-wise. Yeah. So I think the players might get squeezed on this one, in my opinion. Well, the lower ones, the lower ones. Well, even the big ones. Remember, all the payments are deferred. And let's be honest with this one. If I make you$40 million a year, you think that I'm living a$2 million lifestyle? Hell no. You know, that's the problem with a bunch of the athletes. They get$40 million a year, but they're spending$42 million. Then you know what?

1:09:04I mean, if you make$40 million and you're not saving$10 million, $10 million at least, there's something wrong up here, Luke. But it happens. Look, in every sport, we get it across the board that they just basically can't do this. Anyway, we were talking about baseball, Major League. Did anybody get a chance to at least see the highlights on the Women's Professional Baseball League that started August 1st? I did not. Guilty on that. I saw the national anthem. That's about it. Oh, God, that was horrible. There was a play where the ball was hit between the pitcher and first baseman. The pitcher got it, threw it to the first baseman.

1:09:45The first baseman threw it back to the pitcher, but the runner was safe. you know but anyway look they're trying out they're trying something that had not been done in 70 plus years we know during World War II we had the ladies of their own we know the movie very famous there's no crying in baseball so we'll see I'm wishing the best I hope they can have a productive league and have a lot of growth Commissioner Segal I invited you to the Sports Riot Show. I'm still waiting for your answer, please. So, Ms. Segal, I'm putting you on the spot. There we go. Sports Pops, not taking prisoners. I'm just letting you know.

1:10:30We would love to have you here and talk a little bit about Women's Professional Baseball League. Yeah. And like you said, Sports Pops, I'm enjoying baseball right now. It is fullest. Just a little quick update on things. I have the game here in front of me. So the Red Sox are up 3-0. They are in the bottom of the seventh inning. They're beating the Chicago White Sox. Remember, we talked about it. They're playing incredible baseball so far. They're winning 3-0. The Red Sox are, the last 27 games, 24-3. 24-3. 24-3. About to be 25-3. You remember when the Marnins were 24-8? Yes. And we talked about it, and then they went into a nine-game losing streak.

1:11:18I hope that doesn't happen. So let's stop talking about the Red Sox and keep winning. And as soon as you pass the Jan-Cheater Skankies, I'm going to be the happiest man in the face of this earth because I can't stand the Jan-Cheater Skankies. That's just how I feel. You know? Yeah. Anyway. Wait, wait, wait. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. We have proof. Of what? I have the proof. Of what? That's your son? Oh, no, that's a profe. Look. The boys. Profe. There you go. All right. That's the proof. There you go. There we go. That was flat football. Who's that baby in the middle? Give me that. There you go.

1:12:05Listen, if I was a couple inches taller, I'd be a corner in the NFL, hands down. Hey, you know what? I never doubted. I never doubted. But did you play tackle football? No, I didn't. No. Okay. All right. I'll tell you the story. But I'm not afraid, man. I'm not afraid. Boys, the story of Profe is good, and this is good for all the parents. When he was growing up, we let them play whatever they wanted. Okay. Like they played baseball, basketball. Whatever they wanted. Whatever they wanted. The way you should. At one point when they told me, because I didn't do it that way. I played multiple sports until high school.

1:12:46I dedicated to one sport in college. They were lucky because they dedicated to one sport probably when they were 12. You know, they said, listen, I like all those sports, but I want to play all year round soccer. and what's crazy and this is another show, what's crazy about both of El Profe and his brother and specifically El Profe because El Profe played in other countries here in the US he was considered small and he didn't get as many opportunities as he got in Germany in Spain because he basically played with a Division 4 team in Spain Okay. But here in the U.S., he was too short for a center forward because here in the U.S., they like tall athletes.

1:13:35Yeah, yeah. And they basically told him, listen, buddy, you're as tall as Messi. We don't need you. Which is ridiculous. Messi's 5 '6". So imagine if Messi would have tried out in a team over here. Listen, buddy, you're good, but you're too short. Exactly. See ya. Yeah, the dynamics in sports in general, not just soccer. But here in the U.S. In the U.S., even baseball. If you tell them that you got a 5 '6", even a 5 '8 shortstop, they'll laugh at you. No, no, no, no. That's crazy. I need the 6 '2", 6 '3", they can hit 30 home runs. But it's a little bit different because that 5 '8 player cannot go to another country to play.

1:14:12You know, in soccer or football, Luka Modric is 5 '6". El Jefecito, Macherano, 5 '6". So some of the best players in the world, in the history of the world, were 5 '6", 5 '7". But over here in the U.S., imagine how many players don't have the opportunity because of the mentality that I need a big player. If you see what a prophet did to big players in video, there are videos on his website, you say, oh boy. Because the smaller you are, the quicker you are, the more, you know, it's very hard when you're 6 '8". You have freaks like Holland. You have freaks. Yeah. I will say this. I'm not a soccer fan.

1:14:58But when you see a good athlete, you go, oh, shit. That boy can play. And when I have seen the tapes of him playing, El Profe, oh, my God. Now, the one thing I hated it, it was that kid that hit him from behind. I know if I wouldn't have been in that game, I'd probably be in jail right now. Well, the one that ended his. Ended his fucking career. Basically his career. But you know what? I was there in that game, you know, and I've seen he broke his nose. He broke bones in his face. That's fine. And I stay, you know, I let the coaches do their job. But, again, people need to understand that play the game, don't be dirty.

1:15:38And we can ask, Profit, when you broke your nose, what was it? Bam, bam play? Yeah. Okay. Perfect. What else did you break besides your nose? Well, his arms, like three times Three times, and what it was Bam, bam plays, you fell the wrong way You broke your arm But when somebody comes behind you Yeah, well, that's dirty, but that's in every sport Oh, man, I would have been in jail Well, that kid, that kid got a He got a pretty big suspension From the league Because it wasn't just me, another kid Same thing happened to another kid, in the same game In the same game So that kid got a pretty good suspension but so what yeah it doesn't matter to me to me no trust me yeah I mean it's not the suspension it's what you did to the other players to be honest at one point I wanted to check out his name just to see who he was and I just let it go because karma takes care of things you know whatever you know you reap what you sow you probably know who you are and if you're watching fuck you you know that's all I have to say oh that's how I feel it just it was a dirty play Okay, voice, I'll have LCP.

1:16:50Lifetime concussion protocol? Send you that video. It's ugly. Just imagine a wide receiver. They're not even throwing the ball to him, and somebody just comes and says, okay, I'm going to take you underneath. That's exactly what they did. Yeah, like clipping. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it was ridiculous. Hey, prophet, did anybody stood up for you, man, on your team? Like right away? Oh, dude, you should have. Well, here's the thing. It was towards the end of the game, and obviously. And the last game of the season. Yeah, it was the last race. Like, we had already won the league. We were going to win the league.

1:17:25It didn't matter. Like, we could have tied the game. It would have been okay. So, that happens. Honestly, at first, I didn't. I've never had an injury like that ever. Like, if you've never torn your ACL, then you know, like, you don't know what that feeling is. So, in the moment, it happens, and I'm, you know, I'm chilling. it hurts but I'm like okay like I've never gotten injured that bad I'll be fine so I get out the game I come back to the locker room and I'm like holy shit like this doesn't feel right my knee is not working like I've had injuries I've twisted my ankles I've hurt my knee before but this one was serious I'm like I can't even bend it so I let a day goes by come to find out I go to see the trainer, the trainer checks it out.

1:18:10They're like, you need to get an MRI tomorrow. So I go to get an MRI. The doctor's like, we don't, you don't even need an MRI. It's torn 100%. So I'm like, okay. So I go do the MRI, find out it's torn. I tore that my meniscus and the LCL, something like that, the trifecta, whatever. So you had the trifecta. So you had LCL. I had everything. Yeah, it was all time. And the ACL. Yeah. Yeah, he destroyed the knee. So I end up, next season comes around, and I knew we were going to face him again, right? Literally the first play. First play, I'm like, yo, if you see this kid, just, our striker, who was like 6 '4", came from like Senegal in Africa.

1:18:56He come and just, boom, knocks the kid out. Everyone just start, like, brawling, pushing each other. Okay. That was, like, the tone setter. Like, we're not here to fuck around and kind of vengeance. Because it wasn't just me. It was me and another player. He tore both of our ACLs. It's just crazy. You know, I like the fair play, and if you happen to get hurt, that's fine. Yeah. You know? But, you know, it's just unreal. It happens in a lot of sports. Like, imagine you're losing pretty bad, and you're getting your ass beat, and you're like, fuck it, I'm just going to go kill someone. I'm going to injure someone, yeah.

1:19:30Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he just – He maybe thought he was funny. That's incredible. Look, guys, let's go really quick into the AFC South and the NFC South because we are ready to talk about the National Football League. It's the NFL time. I'm excited. The number one sport in the United States. Let's do it. Let's do it. Guys, let's talk about the AFC South and the NFC South. As we know, AFC South is Houston, Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Tennessee Titans. In the NFC, we got the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, our beloved Tampa Bay Bucs. The Saints, New Orleans, and then we got Carolina and Atlanta.

1:20:24You know, today the defensive end from Atlanta suffered ACL, gone for the year. And we're just in preseason. So that's a big blow for the Atlanta Falcons winning the division. So let's start with our NFC South and what to expect from these teams. I think Atlanta has a lot of problems at the quarterback position. You got two guys that are always being hurt, and they're already having nagging injuries during preseason, which is not a good sign. So we'll see what happens with the Atlanta Falcons, but I don't think they'll have a chance at all, even though they got great players like B.J. and Robinson, and then they have Landon at the wide receiver position and Kyle Pitts as the tight end.

1:21:15But if you don't have a quarterback that can throw the football, then you have issues. And I think that they're going to have a lot of problems, you know. Carolina, the Panthers, they won the division last year, you know, on the tiebreaker. They finished with the same record, 7-9, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, even though the Buccaneers had a first half of 6-2. So that means they went 1-8 on the second half, which it was brutal to watch and observe everything that happened then. and but I have to say Carolina I love coach Canales I think he's works magics with his quarterback he did it with Baker Mayfield on his first year here in Tampa then he went to Carolina and he's doing great things with Bryce Young everybody thought that he was a complete boss and now you know he he's doing what he's doing Carolina is in a good position I feel that they should be the favorites to win the division.

1:22:16Again. You know, I think New Orleans got a few players that they got in. He wants to be called now instead of 18, he wants to be called H-N. That's why he said my name is pronounced H-N. Okay, so H-N, you're there. And they just signed a lot of it to a big contract, so he's showed me the money for sure. I think this division, I'll be honest with you, you're going to be surprised with this one, but I think it's between Carolina and the Saints, Carolina and New Orleans. Tampa Bay has an identity crisis right now from management to the players. When you have the leader of your team coming out and being underappreciated, and you didn't give me the contract, and I feel insulted, brother, you got Vitavia.

1:23:14wants to be out of Tampa. I want to trade. Well, this is bad management. Boys, you remember when I said that they were becoming the next Miami Dolphins? Yeah. Well, call me whatever you want. You fans out there here in Tampa, you thought that I was crazy. What are you having right now? A nice circus. Even that you got two great players from the U on the draft. exactly I'll be the first one to say they got two starts to play for them but when you have this situation the first thing that you started doing wrong was you kept the head coach you fired the entire staff but you keep the guy why he said yes sir man top balls I love you to death I know you're a great guy but you're a bad head coach.

1:24:14Players don't react to you. It happened with the Jets and it happened here. Why do you think you can go from 6-2 and then go 1-8? Hey, I had an argument the other day at the office where I work. Get ready for this, profe. Somebody went and told me, oh, why do you want to pay Baker Mayfield? He inherited the same team that Tom Brady had. And I go, are you serious? You want to compare top balls to Bruce Arians? That's an insult. That's an insult. Bruce Arians is a heck of a head coach. Top balls, you're a good coordinator. I'm going to leave it at that. What do you think about that take, Profe? No, I mean, you're right about the coach definitely matters.

1:25:09I mean, we've seen it so many times throughout the NFL that a good head coach honestly matters not as much as a quarterback, but it's just as equal in my opinion. I think you need just as good of a head coach as you need a quarterback. Like we see it with like Buffalo, for example. I mean, Josh Allen's the best quarterback in the league besides Mahomes, but he can't get over the hump. So, I mean, they tried to do a switcheroo with the coaches. I don't think it worked out for them. Oh, that Joe Brady hire. Oh, my God. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, we don't know yet. We don't know yet. But with Tampa, though, I will say, though, I think the Baker-Mayfield stuff is ridiculous.

1:25:49I mean, in my opinion, though, I'll say this. I mean, Tampa has only won one playoff game with Baker. One. So, I mean, are you going to pay a guy 50-plus million just because it's the market? Well, that's what the market is doing. Yeah, but is he worth 50 million? Who are you going to get? Who are you going to get? Hey, like at that point, go to the Dolphins playbook. You're going to pick up a random rookie, and good luck. Start tanking, and hopefully next year you get a good quarterback. Remember who he replaced. He replaced Tom Brady. Yeah. No, don't get me wrong. Let's start there. Baker is legit.

1:26:30Did you see the stats that I sent you between him and Mahomes in the last 45 starts? Bro, Baker was MVP candidate for like the first seven weeks last year, last season. What was funny, everybody was laughing because even before the season started, I said he'll be in the top three for the MVP. And everybody was laughing. And when I went 6-2, it was like, oh, shoot, wait a second. Everybody's talking. He's the top dog in the league. And then for whatever reason, second half, just a team that got dismalarized completely. The coach couldn't get the team back, and you still decided to keep them. Why?

1:27:08Because you thought the 6-2, it was him? Come on. Well, I will say that division is probably the worst in the NFL, in my opinion. Okay. Like the Panthers, Saints, Bucs, not good enough. I think it's going to be between the Panthers and the Saints, this division. Because Atlanta, with the injuries, is a big F, in my opinion. Voice, what do you think with Atlanta? Well, all four teams here, who do you think can go ahead and prepare and win the division? They'll probably win the division and then be out on the wild card round. You know what? With all this said, after everything said about Tampa Bay and all the internal problems and whatever it is, I still have them and Carolina battling for the division.

1:27:56I still have them too. You know, I still think that, you know, Baker Mayfield is capable of catching fire like he did in the first half. And this time, you know, if he keeps the momentum going for the whole season, something tells me they're going to be there at the end, you know, fighting for the division. Let me ask you, we know the wide receiver market, the way he pays. If you were the GM and you know that Mike Evans will leave Tampa to play for$21 million, we know it's cheap for a receiver, especially of his caliber. To me, he's still got a couple of good years to play. I'm not saying excellent, but good years and be solid.

1:28:42And his presence within the organization would have been great. But the reason he left, you kept the head coach. So you decide to, you rather Mike Evans to walk out and keep top balls? That's the first problem. That's the first problem. And it's not about keeping a player versus a coach. It's just that you know your coach is not working. And a great player, a future Hall of Famer, first ballot, is letting you know, look, if you keep him, I'm walking away, and you still do it. now you have a quarterback that lost that guy, a Hall of Famer wide receiver, that could still play, and now you go ahead and, hey, you know, we don't want to pay you.

1:29:29You know, there are some sources out there saying that they offer him $100 million for two years, but the guarantee money was an insult. According to sources out there, they say we'll pay you the$100, but only$40 million is guaranteed. And you know what has happened. A lot of these quarterbacks that are getting that 50-plus, they're getting 60 % to 65 % of their contract guaranteed. So you had it to be at least at$60,$65 million guaranteed. With$100, he probably would have took it and said, I'll play two more years here in Tampa. It sounds like to me that the GM from Tampa is probably Greer's cousin or something.

1:30:16It's got to be. I mean, when you get to this point that, I mean, what is it that you guys are seeing? Are you thinking that going into the draft next year, you will replace somebody that will play at the same level as Baker with Tampa Bay, and you say, hey, he can walk away. We don't need him. We are projecting ourselves to be wherever we're going to be at. We are drafting this quarterback in 2027, and he's going to be our franchise quarterback. I don't see anybody being a big free agent that you can say, okay, okay, we can sign that guy because almost everybody is on long-term contracts. All your big-time quarterbacks.

1:31:05Well, you could try to shoot for a rookie, get a rookie out of the draft. That's what I'm saying. It's a bigger quarterback draft next year. Yeah, yeah, no, there's no veteran quarterbacks that are going to be free. Yeah, exactly, exactly. That is the problem there. But they're in a pickle because if you pay Baker, you're putting him as a top five quarterback in the league. Well, everybody's putting their quarterback as a top five. Look, I said it last week. No, but he's good. He's not Josh Allen. He's not Lamar Jackson. No, no, no. Forget about those two. Forget about those two. Even Mahomes.

1:31:47Get him out. Trevor Lawrence is making over 50. Brock Purdy is making over 50. We got Boy in Dallas making 60 million. Yeah. Okay, come on. The market is telling you. These guys are good, bro. Baker is good. I'm not going to put him on the Mahomes, Josh Allen, and let's say Lamar Jackson. tier. But when you come to that second tier that you got the Brock Purdy's of the world, the Trevor Lawrence of the world, I mean, forget about it. He deserves to get paid around what they're getting paid. You needed to do at least$150 million with$75 million guaranteed for three years, and I think... So right now, according to money, top five is Patrick Mahomes, Dak Prescott, Josh Allen, A one, two, three, four-way tie for fourth place, which is Burrell, Lawrence, Love, Jordan Love, and Stafford, all at$55 million.

1:32:58Number eight is Jared Goff, just under$55 million, tied with Brock Purdy. And then 10, you got Justin Herbert, Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts, and Deshaun Watson. Well, Deshaun, it was just a bad deal with Cleveland. I mean, it is what it is. But honestly, I don't think Baker's better than any one of them. You don't think he's better than Jared Goff? No. No. Well, Jared Goff has proved it, and they've done it in the playoffs. They've done it in the playoffs. Well, he just did it with the Rams, with the Lions. Yeah. You know, they had one good run one year, and their PlayStation coach decided to play fourth down on every play that he could and avoid them to have a trip to the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Cheaters.

1:33:48Oh, I mean, Chiefs. Sorry. You know how it is. Anyway, we got to throw that little jab in there. But definitely, when you start naming those quarterbacks, once again, boys, I'm going to put it on your side. Would you pay Baker the same amount That Purdy is making? Yes There we go Would you pay him The same amount That Trevor Lawrence is making? Purdy's younger Purdy's younger Lawrence is younger Okay They're younger They're more Generational QBs Look I'm gonna tell you this If he goes somewhere else He's gonna get the money Yeah And if I was him I would. I'll see you later. You know where they're saying he's going to be his landing spot?

1:34:39The Steelers. They're already saying it, that he'll be the next Steelers quarterback. So, Profe, my question to you is this, then. You know, because I don't think Tampa Bay has a plan B when it comes to a quarterback. Because I'm going to tell you the truth. I don't even know who the backup guy is. So, right now, you put all your eggs in one basket, and this basket is called Baker Mayfield. so if you don't pay the man what are you gonna do you know because if they have a good year it's what we're saying the thing is let's say that they win 11 12 games you know say they go to the playoffs they're not gonna pick in the top 10 i mean there's gonna be a few you know good quarterbacks in the draft they're all gonna be gone by the type of big picks let's be real well the problem is if you if you pay baker you don't pay vita vea so yeah but the problem is you cannot pay Vito Vea what he wants.

1:35:34Yeah. I mean, they're fucked. Let's just put it simple. They're fucked. It does not matter what they do. Tell me how you really feel, brother. Tell me how you really feel. Good luck. Listen, Tampa's joining Miami in a couple years. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they are. They are running the same circus right now. And I'm sorry, Tampa Bay Bucs fan. You know, I said it. I'm not going to have no teams, and I'm going for the juggler when it needs to be done. And right here, we have to be honest with you. Your GM and your head coach should not be there next year. If you decide that Baker has to be out the door, Bidavea has to be out the door, perfect.

1:36:19You start a new regiment with a new general manager and a new head coach. That's what's going to happen, and then you draft whoever you think you need to draft. at next year's drive as your quarterback, as your possible, quote-unquote, quarterback. So we'll see. Unless they want to sign Tua. Just kidding. Just kidding. Yeah, you saw he's hurt. He's hurt already. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, both of them are. Both of them are. Both of them are. Penix came out and said, look, I got to make sure my leg is where it needs to be. You know, I have a lot of injuries in the past, So I have to make sure that I can be, you know, a guy that can contribute versus, you know, hurting the team.

1:37:02That sounds like a guy that knows that he's out for the first few weeks of the season easily. And then if you got Tua, I know you're paying$1.5 million. Good for you. But he's making$52 million. He's making like$54 million. Tua. No, Tua is a... Look for Tua. Tua's making 52 plus. In Atlanta, he's... It says here 1 million. Yeah, yeah, but the Dolphins, on that cap money, they're paying 51 or 52. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes, you see? So he's making 53 million dollars. And if he was with the Dolphins, he was making 51. You're not going to pay Baker, but you pay Tua? Come on, man. It's a market.

1:37:53It's a market. Well, it's the same thing with the Sean Watson situation. Well, the Sean was the craziest. Why was the first craziest, one of the craziest, oh, my God, I get the word out, contracts. Contracts. $233 million, all$233 million guaranteed. Sleep on a banana peel and you're still getting paid. Still go to your massage parlor, we got to pay you. Hey, you know who I think deserves a shot is Anthony Richardson from the Colts. Yeah. That would be a good – the thing is, I don't think he has the IQ, but I think he has the ability under a good coach to perform in Tampa. The problem with Richard is the following, and you'll correct me here, Voice, because you're better than us when it comes to following college football.

1:38:44But my understanding, he only played like 13 games at the quarterback position. and got drafted. And then when you get drafted, you start playing. They have to bench you. You get hurt. They try to play you. You get hurt again, and you play bad. So you have no time to really develop for the National Football League. It's just that simple. But correct me or not, voice, but I believe he only played like 13 games as a starting quarterback. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, yeah. So that right there, that's a formula that is no good. Look, Ryan Tannehill, same scenario. Played last year, playing college football as a quarterback when he was a wide receiver, and the Dolphins go and pick him up with the seven-pick overall.

1:39:34Get the fuck out of here. I mean, I can't do that job with my eyes closed. Freaking Greer. I mean, I just got to say it. You know, you got to be the dumbest man in the room. And I'm saying it straight up. You know? Yeah, well, he was dumb. He was dumb. And Ross was dumber for keeping him there. I'm telling you, man. I'm telling you right now. Oh, did you see what Ross did? Yeah. He gave the control to his son-in-law. You know how much you got to love? Son-in-law, not to give it to any of your kids or nephew. No. My son-in-law, you're in charge now of the Dolphins and everything that happens with Hard Rock.

1:40:21Yeah, though. Boy, I would have been a happy son-in-law if I was that boy. Hey, listen, go ask Triple H how he's doing right now. Same thing happened. Same thing happened at WWE. Do you think this guy will stab him in the back and take everything from Mr. Ross. Well, that's what Triple H did with my man. Yeah. Yeah. You know? I don't know. I mean, I don't know if that's going to be a bad thing. Dirty business. Dirty. Dirty business. Definitely. Yeah. But, yeah, the box are in a bad situation. Very bad situation. So, once again, I'm taking the Saints or Carolina to win this division. We've got to see exactly.

1:41:03If I've got to pick somebody today, I pick the Panthers again to go back-to-back. Okay? They'll win the division. They'll be out in the first round. I don't think they got enough to go ahead and make a run within the playoffs. Let's go back to, well, let's go into the AFC South. It's the Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jowers, and the Tennessee Titans. Let me start with the Tennessee Titans and the boys because their quarterback is Cam Ward from the U. You see how I did it? There you go. You see? Paying tribute to the U in Canmore. What do you think is going to happen this year with your boy Canmore voice?

1:41:53So they've got a couple weapons, you know, receivers and whatnot. But remember on draft day, we were talking about it. If you don't have the trenches, sometimes it doesn't matter who's back there. Correct. It doesn't matter if it's the greatest quarterback. If you don't have not even a great elite offensive line in front of you, but a very good one, you won't be able to do much. Look last year. He was running for his life. Yeah, he was. He was running for his life. He was. Okay? So, yeah, they got him a couple weapons and offense here and there. But, again, my main concern with that team, trenches, trenches, trenches.

1:42:32All that. That's my biggest concern. And they didn't help themselves out. Okay. They were talking about defensive weapons today on NFL radio. And, you know, they talk about Ridley, the kid that they drafted with the fourth pick over role, if I'm not mistaken, was another big-time wide receiver. You know, they got some weapons. Don't get me wrong, but like you said, if you're not protecting your quarterback, it's going to be like the Little Giants movie, Blow the Whistle, Blow the Whistle. No doubt in my mind. You have anything to add about the Tennessee Titans, Profe? No, I'm the same way. It doesn't matter who's back there.

1:43:12You need linemen. You need linemen. Jacksonville Jowers come back with Trevor Lawrence, a.k.a. Sunshine, a.k.a. Head & Shoulders, a.k.a. Prince Charming from Shrek here at the Sports Drive Show. That's how we know him. A. Shen signed as a free agent with the Saints, okay, so he's not there anymore. How much they're going to miss that production, and can somebody else come and do that production that A. Shen used to have there in Jacksonville? I think right now, if I look roster player by player, I think that the third best team winning the division. the Jaguars? yes I got Houston first I got the Colts and then I got Jacksonville me too me too Tennessee unfortunately guys not trying to but it is what it is they're still a couple of years away exactly like I said some of the greatest coaches have built their teams from the inside out because they know how important it is to get the trenches right.

1:44:29And then you build it. You build the rest of the team. Tennessee is still a couple of years away from even competing, especially in that division because even though we both have Houston and the Colts, Jacksonville is not like they suck or they're not a bad team. No. It's just that Tennessee is stuck in one of the better divisions in football. Yeah, and the thing we mean with Jacksonville is losing HN, which is, I believe, over 1 ,400 yards from scrimmage. How are you going to replace that? Let's start right there. And let's not forget that Sunshine and HN, whatever, they played together in college too.

1:45:15So they had the chemistry going on in the NFL. So Trevor Lawrence is going to miss them a lot. Yeah, yeah, he is. He is going to, in my opinion. I think Houston has a better running game now with Montgomery, signing as a free agent. And then Indianapolis, of course, they have their horse back there. So I think having better running games. Now the best defense is the Houston Texans. That's a Super Bowl defense. What's going to determine how far they go is Stroud. You know, if he can play somewhere where he was on his rookie year, they have a great chance to come out of the AFC. If he plays the way he's been playing on his fifth year, I believe he's on his fifth year option.

1:46:06I think if he plays as he has played. Well, what's crazy is he's still like 23. Oh, no, no, he's a young man. He's a young man. I mean, he started as a quarterback at 20 years old. Instead of progression, it's regression. You know who reminds me, and I hope he never gets hurt, RG3. Same thing. You win rookie of the year, and then boop, boop, boop, Kirk Cousins took over. Bye-bye, RG3. That was it. He never recovered. You know, so he's giving me that same scenario, in my opinion. You win the rookie of the year, then instead of progressing, you are regressing. so that's the problem that I have with them right there somebody somebody sent a message to us or something hold on no not yet that was something else yeah anyway yeah it is it all depends on him yeah yeah yeah but I think that the fact that they have better uh running games respectively Houston Indianapolis than Jacksonville and Tennessee that's why I make them both favorites But I think Houston, at the end of the day, should win this division with no problem, in my opinion.

1:47:23I think that defense is just nasty. Very nasty. It's a nasty defense. I love them. I mean, like I said, if Stroud happens to play well, this team could be easily the one going to L.A. and play the Rams. Oh, I'm sorry. Whoever they got to play for the Rams. And by the way, did you see that Aaron Donald today worked out for the Rams? Oh, he's coming back. He's coming back. He worked out, yeah. Oh, he's coming back. He is coming back. That's going to be unreal. You know. Yeah. By the way, by the way, breaking news, Red Sox just won. They're 25-3 in their last 28 games. That's insane. Now that you said that, I'm betting against them tomorrow.

1:48:13You just jinxed it. I've been saying that. He can't talk about it. Well, he jinxed the Marlins. That's fine. And then Mr. Wilson just loves him, you know, no matter what. Jinxed Mr. Wilson's team, and then, you know. But it is what it is. Listen to the voices if you want to get in trouble. Yeah, yeah, whatever. That sorry asymbolical court, and you throw down all his teams. Unbelievable, you know. The only different teams we have is baseball. Everything else, we got the same team. Well, and football. Yeah. So we got these two divisions. I think Carolina, in my opinion, will win the NFC South, and I got the Houston Texans winning the AFC South.

1:49:00Do you guys see it differently? Do you think a scenario, maybe something that you think might take place and maybe you like Jacksonville better than Indianapolis, I think. Yeah. Profit does. Profit has it in my head, Indy. So, you know. Profit, is it a quarterback? Is it a defense? What is it about you that you think is going to get him over the hump? You know, in such a competitive division, though, Chris. You know, that division is pretty competitive. Yeah, no, I mean, they just got to execute. They got to execute when it matters most. I mean, they do really good against the teams they should beat.

1:49:36But I think Houston is probably the team to beat in that division. Yes. But I think they got everything. I love Liam Cohen. I love, I love, I think Trevor Lawrence. Coming into the NFL. With Liam Cohen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't, I mean, same, similar situation I'm having with Joe Brady. Hopefully he proves me wrong. I was like, oh, Liam Cohen? Like, fuck no. He's a good OC, but is he going to be good? So he surprised me, but he's top notch. But I think Trevor Lawrence, like coming out of high school, heading into the NFL, hands down, I thought that he was the best quarterback I've ever seen in my life.

1:50:14Ever. Like, in college, he was unbelievable. Well, I mean, what's his name that does all the predictions when somebody's going to get drafted? Oh, I forget his name. Did you see... Go for it. Go for it, boys. I'll get it in a minute. He went and said he was going to be the next Spade in Manning when he did the report on him before he got drafted. He said, draft this guy, Mel Kuyper Jr. Mel Kuyper, exactly. He went and said, if you go back to the tape, he says, you're going to be the next Peyton Manning. Have you seen his high school highlights? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's incredible. Unbelievable.

1:50:52Yeah. Have you seen him in the movie Shrek with the hair where he goes like that? You know, he never lost in high school or in college. Ever. In talking about hair. Up until the championship. Now that you're here. Can you see my resemblance with my little food? I got the Matt LaFleur. Matt LaFleur? Matt LaFleur, baby. I got the Matt LaFleur. Matt LaFleur. You don't. Matt Vey. He said Matt Vey. I take that too. All day long, baby. All day long. Yeah, go ahead. You always mention Matt, Matt, Matt. But you don't give enough credit to the hairspray that you use from Jimmy. Come on, man. Come on, man.

1:51:34Look, I'm being good to you. No, no, no. The only time that Jimmy Johnson's hair got messed up is when he won the first Super Bowl. He was in the sidelines, and then all the players said, ah, what the hell, and they started playing. First of all, I'm going to say this. Jimmy has a better set of hair than mine. Even that mine looks good, like Matt LaFleur, you see it there. It's kicking, the beard with the marking there. But besides that, oh, yeah. Take that Trevor Lawrence hair. Easiest haircut in the world, baby. I do it myself. Easiest. So, but, no, Jimmy has the best set of hair ever that we have seen in National Football League besides Palomalu and Trevor Lawrence.

1:52:21Oh, Palomalu, wow. You remember that? That long hair with head and shoulders? That was a good one. He would do the commercials. There was always a debate of who was the better safety, him or at Reed. We all know it was at Reed, baby. Ballhawk. We all know it was at Reed. Come on. Yeah, yeah, he was. He was. He was. I'm not arguing with you. Don't hate him. You know? No, no, I'm not hating, you know? Those were the years that I was, you know, like, you know, liking that team, liking that team. Oh, God. Liking them. Liking them. Liking them. That's it. Hey, Profit don't know who we're talking about, man.

1:52:58Profit don't know who we're talking about. Profit knows. Profit knows. You're talking about the grandpas over there. Guys, so next week, let's take on the AFC West and the NFC West, and then we'll have one more after that, and we'll cover all four. Oh, yes, sir. Time out, by the way. Yes, sir. Tomorrow, first preseason game, baby. Oh, that's right. First preseason game. That's right. Tomorrow. That's right. I know that it's the Cardinals. I forgot who they play. They play the Panthers. And the Cardinals. Guys, I need to ask you a question. Now that we're talking about first preseason game, we know that the season starts on a Wednesday this year.

1:53:39Okay? But then Thursday, they have another game. Right. My idea right now is before the regular season starts, that week, we're not going to do a show, but we're going to do our draft live for the fantasy football. the week before that. Tell me about football fantasy, baby. Football fantasy? I thought it was fantasy football. Football fantasy now. Well, people don't understand. Black football. I've always said fantasy football. Fantasy football. Fantasy. You know, when I talk about true striders, it's fantasy true striders. No, true striders fantasy. Well, it's the same thing at the end of the day.

1:54:27Now I got Chelsea Green, baby. Chelsea, you're my girl. You're my girl. You keep doing what you're doing. Anyway, I got one more thing. And I should have got this before we did the NFL. But did you guys see the little clip I sent you regarding that French player that wants to play at the WNBA? Oh, God, yeah.

1:54:53We talked about it. We talked about it. Look, look. WNBA. I'm going to try to be as candid as I can be. For you as a head coach of the WNBA, knowing that you have a women's sport that you are representing, I don't know what the fuck is your freaking agenda to come out and say that transgender kids should have an opportunity to play at the WNBA. it's ridiculous. Ladies, you should not even be a head coach at the WNBA. You're willing to sacrifice women over this situation. And I said it before, I got nothing against the transgender community. What I recommended was get your own league and play. But this thing, now that you want to, man, if I show the picture of what I'm talking about, this guy in my best days of shape was three times bigger than me and 6 '3 6 '3 of pure muscle 6 '3 and it's not a a a clip bait or anything like that this is by the hodge twins i love their show these twins you know they're always bringing you stuff of this magnitude thank you for that hot strings.

1:56:21I'm a fan. But I cannot believe that there's some coaches out there saying that when you're actually a head coach for the WNBA. It just doesn't make any sense. If I had a daughter playing at any type of competitive sports, you think I want her to play against a guy that can actually physically hurt her? I'm okay if she plays with another girl. Bang, bang, play. She gets hurt. That's fine. But to know that the physicality and the biology like Prophets playing last week, it's insane for you to believe that. You know, I cannot believe that you ladies came out and said, what was it? I might be paraphrasing here, but one of them says, I don't have enough scientific evidence to say that, you know, transgender people should not play at the WMEA.

1:57:25Okay. It's your league. Do what you want to do. If you want it to become that circus, that's your problem. You know? Yeah, honestly, I mean, I wouldn't doubt. That'd make it watchable for me, in my opinion. What? I think it'd just be funny. It'd be funny to see. It'd be bad for the competitive edge, but I'd be like, what the fuck are we doing? It's funny to see Greer playing, correct? What are we doing? Oh, shots fired. Shots fired. That was a low blow. That was a low blow. Sorry. But Greer, she plays the one that got caught with the cannabis in Russia. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we have to give up an arms dealer for her.

1:58:09Yeah, that's the one. Oh, sorry. I said I would never get political in here, but, you know, that's what really happened. Yeah, I think it's a bad signal for the WNBA. It's a bad signal for women's sports all around the world, not just here in the United States. They need to protect the woman, and it should be the way it is. Once again, transgender community, nothing against you. I have no problem. If you can make a league, and if people want to watch it, perfect. If you bring good athletes and play great basketball against each other, or baseball, football, tennis, whatever it might be, do your own league.

1:59:03But don't keep pushing this agenda. and I don't know who really is but I'm going to tell you and it has nothing to do with religion or politics you're just being fucking dumb that's it that's my straight opinion about this whole situation with that situation to try to have transgender men playing in a professional women's league it's just insane even at the youth level would you want a boy playing against your little girl girl, I know if I had a daughter, I would not do it. I'm opposed to have a little girl join a little league team, a boys' little league team. If you want baseball with the girls, do the same thing they're doing at the professional level.

1:59:54You made a league. Make leagues in the little league for the girls to play against each other. That's the way you're going to develop of the women's professional baseball league in the future. And even then, integrate it into college sports. And have college women's baseball. But don't keep doing this thing that you want to have a girl playing in the boys' team and then suddenly you want the boys to be playing in the girls. Once again, this has nothing to do with religion or politics. It has to do like a prophet's play last week. genetics, science. You were born a man, you were born a woman. It is what it is.

2:00:39You guys want to add anything to this hot topic? I don't know. Oh my gosh, you guys stay quiet on that one. You guys don't want to get... You guys don't want the heat! Listen, you pretty much said it all. I just think that and I think I said this last week or week before, and it's watching the movie Juwana, man, too much. I'm pretty sure you guys have seen that movie. But it's not right and it's not fair. You know what I mean? For transgenders to come in because they're going to dominate. Yeah, it's just ridiculous. It's not fair. Where's Lifetime Concussion Protocol? Well, man, get us out of here.

2:01:29By the way, are you taking us out to dinner? taking us yeah because a prof is here oh that's right I'm going to hit the sack I got you I got you see if you take us out to dinner no it's like this it's like this it's not no es cual nudo no es cual nudo no es cual nudo is University of Miami Sammy. Where's my boy at? Who? Mr. Wilson. Oh, he's still in Europe. Europe? Yeah, but we had a conversation. We had a conversation. And I told him that we almost had the Ryan Clark moment with him. Yeah. So what I did, I challenged him tonight to have a match on the... Wrestling? Wrestling. Oh! No disqualification, and he's going to be the special referee.

2:02:29Listen, I think you're going to lose, bro. Because Mr. Wilson is huge. Oh, wow. Wow. That hurt. No, I'm just being honest. Okay. And the last time he came here, he had a cap, right? Mr. Wilson, correct me if I'm wrong. Come on. Didn't he have a cap say, trust the D? Trust the D. Something like that. Remember, boys, he had a cap that said something like that. What was it? He did. Trust the D. Trust the D? Trust the D. Something like that. Defense or something else? I don't know. Oh, you don't know. We need to ask him when he comes back. He'll tell you because I noticed. He came with his official uniform.

2:03:07Mr. Wilson, we love you. We know you're in France or wherever you are right now. After the World Cup, he became a fan. So he's doing some research over there. He's doing some research. Oh, you should have seen the video. Mr. Wilson Mbappé. What is that, the canals in Italy that they take like a... The Amsterdam, oh, yellow kayaks. The gondolas, gondolas. Yeah, he put a video and you can see him. He's looking at it and he's going. It's like an Italian kayak, the gondola. All smiling, you know, like. I'm waiting for the cruise discount. It's been more than a year now. Oh, yeah. He actually said that he cannot wait to be back on the show.

2:03:57Oh, he better. That's why he wrote. So, we miss you, brother. Two full hours, bro. No Ryan Clark for you. A moment. Don't worry about it. We're all good. We had two full hours.
