0:09Welcome to the Sports Rise Show with Sports Bubs! Listen to the blackness if you want to get in trouble with the boys with these Dallas Cowboys Neighborhood with Mr. Wilson Shashica Ladies Sports Happy Hour It's about time with the firm Maverick And the big crew Start your engines The Sports Ride Show is ready

0:48Welcome, everybody, to the Sports Riot Show. I am your host, Sports Pops. And tonight, I have my co-host, counterpart, Mr. Wilson with the Dallas Cowboys neighborhood. And tonight, WWE correspondent, the one and only, Todd Taker. Later on the show, via our phone line, we're going to be testing tonight with Mr. Baseball, Hector Cepeda, when we go into our baseball segment. But in order for this show to make no sense at all, you need producer, director, cheerleader, but better known as Lifetime Concussion Protocol, Carlos Flores, better known as Chino. What's up? There he is, you know. You know, now his team are not undefeated anymore.

1:38Well, unless you go the other way. 0-4 G-Achineers, 3-1 Raiders. Okay, we'll figure it out later on the show. I'm out for the season, bro. Are you out for the season? I'm done. Oh, wow. I'm cooked. Wow, wow, wow, wow. Anyway, guys, we got an interesting show. And the reason we have our WWE correspondent, Top Taker, here tonight is because Money in the Bank is going to be this coming up Saturday. And there's some amazing matches. Let me go ahead and go over the card really quick and see what it is going on in there. Let's see. We got Roman Reigns against LA Knight for the championship. Okay. We also have the Money in the Bank matches, ladies and the men.

2:25And what other matches we got there, Top Taker? We have the triple threat match for the women's championship.

2:41Becky Lynch, Liv Morgan, and Stephanie Bakker. Stephanie Bakker, La Primera. Okay. Mr. Wilson, you think Stephanie Bakker is La Primera? um sure i gotta i gotta i gotta be honest i'm gonna lean on you guys for for these takes because i really haven't been uh watching wrestling very much i'm gonna say i'm gonna say this mr wilson she's a hottie from chile hottie hottie hottie that's all i have to say and i'm very good wrestler too i'm sorry you know i should have said that first and then said that she was that hottie, hottie, hottie. Well, she's still a hottie. And then objectify her. Exactly, exactly.

3:34Something like that. But anyway, top taker. We also have Obafemi's going against... Bronson Reed. Bronson Reed from the division. Okay. So let's start with that match. Obafemi versus Bronson Reed. The vision is basically a pack of wolves, you know, with the rest of the guys in there. We know Paul Heyman is not really with them anymore. Still like a crazy thing because we saw Bronson coming in and I looked for you for advice and this and that. And he just came with that rampage about, you got a tsunami, tsunami, tsunami. and he said that like 40 times that he needs to tsunami Obafemi to be able to defeat him.

4:26So basically what Paul Heyman is predicting, okay, and it's probably not a spoiler. It's a prediction or it's a prediction, not a spoiler. Whatever it is, Paul Heyman, you got Obafemi as the guy that is going to win that match on Saturday's main event. I mean, Money in the Bank. I take that back. Like, there's so many, so many, so many, many, many, many, many matches every week that you don't know where you're going. But it's like a roller coaster. It's like a ride, like the sports ride show. No doubt in my mind. So, money in the bank. I would love to see Reed winning. But I think it's going to be Obafemi.

5:09How do you feel about that, Top Taker? I have to agree with you. I believe it's going to be Obafemi. and from the looks of it, Paul Heyman, he has betrayed the division. Slowly, yes. I'm telling you, Obafemi, he's the new version of Brock Lesnar. I think he's been more the version of Goldberg with that little son and that he's, you know, no way to be defeated, even that he lost already. But you know that. If you hear that, Oba, Oba. You remember that? Goldberg? Goldberg. Goldberg. So to me, that's my comparison right there with those two. So you got definitely Obafemi getting this match and continue to be portrayed as the future of the WWE.

6:10Yep. You do? That's it? Yep. You know, you're giving me those short answers. You know why? because your dang cheetah skankies are down 2-0 in the division American League Championship. That's the problem you're having. Right, that's right. And I'm sad, man. All I hope is that I can call you LeBroom after tonight. That way they get a sweep out of there. That will be in our baseball set, man. And I'll get that into later. Really quick, let's go into Money in the Bank. ladies match, and it has Sol Ruka, Lola Vice, JC Jane, Roxanne Perez, Hottie Hottie Hottie, Lash Legend, and Tiffy Time. Who's winning this one, Top Taker?

7:03Ah. I would have to go with

7:12either Lola Vice, Or Last Legend. Okay. I'm going to stick to the one prediction I made a few months ago. I say it's going to be Roxanne Perez. You think so? Roxanne Perez will win the ladies, and she will get a chance to be a world champion. Now, will it be ironic that if Leif Morgan wins the triple match and she goes after Leif Morgan for that championship? That's juicy stuff. I should be on the riding team. of WWE. I can make things spicy. Spicy, spicy, spicy. So can we say the same thing about Kevin Owens and Sammy? What about them on the triple match for the men? No, no, no, no, no, as far as a WrestleMania moment between both of them for the title.

8:07Oh, no, no, no, no. That would be as sorry as a WrestleMania moment, to be honest with you. You need the big names. You need an Obafemi maybe against the OTC, Roman Reigns. You know, you need that kind of big match with the big names. You don't need a saggity, sorry story about Sammy Sammy the champion. Not really. Not really. I think that would be a big mistake by Triple H and his creating team. That is being fucking it up. Oh, I mean, bucket it up lately. Sorry. I think what they should have did was for this Money in the Bank, they should have had Obafemi versus Roman and have LA Knight win the Money in the Bank.

9:04Well, I don't get it. And then have that match for WrestleMania. Okay. I don't like LA Knight. I don't think he's a WrestleMania. Main event. I don't think he is. He's a character that really gets boring really quick. Because to me, he's a bad imitation of Stone Cold, Steve Austin. That's basically what he's trying to be, especially with the... Yeah. Austin mixed with the rock because he's always coming out with glasses. Oh, please. And doing his stick, you know, doing his stuff. Anyway, between the men's money in the bank is Brown Breaker, Javon Evans, Trick Williams, Penta, CM Punk, and Kevin Owens.

9:53I'm going with the same prediction I made a few months ago when I said Rick Sampras. I'm going with Trick Williams. Okay. What about you? Who you got? I haven't gone back to Mr. Wilson because he's concentrating on his Dallas Cowboys. I would have to go with either Trick Williams or... No, no, no. You got to give me one. Don't start doing like lifetime concussion protocol. Or we're going to have to go with Javon Evans. Javon Evans. Okay. I'll stick to Trick Williams and let's go into the championship. Women's Championship triple threat match between Stephanie Becker, Liv Morgan, and the man, Becky Lynch.

10:43You got Becky? Yep. You got Becky. Look at you. I'm going to go with hottie hottie Stephanie Becker, retaining the title. Yeah, I want her to stay a little bit more. That's it, you know? And you imagine. Let's say, for example, that it's not Roxanne Perez that wins the money in the bank for the ladies, but it's Tifi time. Oh, what a match. Tifi and Vaker La Primera. Wow. That's going to be something. Yeah. And, yeah, go ahead. I'm sorry about that, top taker. And again, but then again, we don't know. Because remember, we have to see how this is going to go. So remember, Liv Morgan, she's off writing a movie.

11:34You know, she's in a movie and she's doing her own stuff. So, you know, I don't know. I see it as the man taking the title. Okay, we'll see what happens. And we'll figure this one after all the results. And the main match of that night is going to be Clown LA Knight versus the one and only, the OTC, Roman Reigns. And I got Roman Reigns all day, all night long. Got to put the ones to the sky. I got to go with the tribal chief. Tribal chief, baby. That's the one. If not, if not, I can't sit at the table no more. Anyway, Top Taker, let's talk about what happened to Pac. Unfortunately, he passed away a couple of weeks ago, and it happened right after a match the following day.

12:29They haven't showed the results, the cause of his death, but I know it was a big blow for AEW and for wrestling fans in general. So our condolences to his family and to all those wrestlers that love him so much. And for what they were saying about him, he was a standout wrestler and a standout person. um for those who possibly did not know or possibly didn't know he was never in the wwe yeah yeah he was exactly when he went to when he went to aew he was the best in the pack yeah and sadly you know he did pass away uh after yeah the match the night before that Saturday night for All Out. So our prayers and condolences go out to A.W.

13:28and, you know, his entire family. Got it. Top Taker, we want to thank you again for coming here and be with us tonight and share these moments regarding our WWE World, WWE Universe. And I have to say, it's going to be a heck of a money in the bank this coming Saturday. Are you watching it? Of course. Oh, sorry. My bad. I should have known better. I should have known better. I have to. I have to. You know why? Because I want to sit with Roman Reigns at the table from my one city sky. There we go, my friend. Hey, it's an honor. It's a pleasure having you here. And before you leave, I want to show all our fans.

14:11Look who's there. with that big smile and the big microphone. Oh, yeah. From the Sports Rise Show, our WWE correspondent, Top Taker. Top Taker, it's a pleasure again. God bless you. We'll be talking during the week. Okay, my friend? Remember, Money in the Bank this Saturday at 6. Okay. Kickoff show starts at 5. Got it, sir. then we go into Survivor Series which is next month we'll get into that later on one of the other episodes but we thank you again for being here with us bringing the WWE action to our fans and we thank you for that my friend stay cool stay top taker that foot is fire baby yes God bless you we'll be talking talk to you soon well uh we're back now here at the sports ride show we still live on youtube and also in linkedin i want to say really quick we were able to start sending our videos to spotify so to all our fans that listen to our audio you will have the opportunity to also see the show So the only thing is we cannot do it live yet, but eventually we will.

15:36But it's a good thing. It's pre-recorded for you guys. Don't worry because we don't edit anything in here. We make a mistake. We roll with it. We let them know, and we keep going. Now let's talk about baseball. And let me see if we can get the man of the hour, Mr. Baseball, in here. Let's see if he wants to call us or not. hey for whatever reason he thinks that he was going to be on the show every week man who's that mr baseball okay i was like hey uh let me see what we do hey by all means yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i was like hey i should tell him we'll make that happen once Manny Ramirez makes the show.

16:26Oh. You know. Drop a stipulation. Exactly, exactly. Let's see if we get him. But anyway, we had some early action today. We saw the Cleveland Guardians. I call them Indians. I'm old school. They won 9-3 over the Chicago White Sox and stay alive in this best series of five games. Okay, we got... Is this Hector Mr. Baseball Cepeda? Yes, it is. Oh, my God. From our phone line, the official phone line here at the Sports Ride Show, 813-813-2087. That's for our fans to know later. If you want, guys, make a call and make any comments. You know, we take constructive criticism. I think we do. I'm not sure.

17:24100%. But anyway, we started talking about the Cleveland Guardians winning tonight's game, 9-3 and stay alive in the best of five series right there, Mr. Baseball. Ironically, the road teams are winning the games versus the home team defending the turf. Do you see the series going into five games, Mr. Baseball? for the Cleveland I don't see it I think tomorrow will be the day the White Sox White Sox take care of business yes there we go let's see what happened between Atlanta and I thought they were playing bottom of the fifth right now 1-1 1-1 Okay. Okay, for whatever reason, baseball in here doesn't have it, but it's good.

18:27And then we got Tampa Bay versus the New York, or better known here as the Giant Cheaters Kankies. Yeah. Mr. Baseball, do you think that the Tampa Bay Rays will sweep the Giant Cheaters Kankies tonight? I sure hope so they do. And I think they are. Wow. They really are in a sweep. That would be like an early Christmas present to me, having the Jan Cheetah Skankies go home on a sweep. And then they already disappeared. You know something? All the Jan Cheetah Skankie fans already disappeared because when they beat Boston, oh, my God, they were talking. They were, you know, texting. They were social media, and suddenly they're all gone.

19:20The Janchi, the skanky nation is gone. And I hope they come and lose tonight and get swept, to be honest with you. Now, a lot of the baseball experts out there are saying that if they get swept or even lose the series, that will be the end for Boone, the manager, and he will be fired after that because with a$350 million payroll and you're not bringing a championship, especially in New York, means that you're going to be rolling out. Mr. Wilson, do you feel that the Jan Cheaters skankies will get swept tonight? Tampa Bay's been – their pitching staff has been dealing, shut them out in game one, held them to two runs in game two.

20:12Yeah, I don't see a way that they bounce back from this. The injuries to judge year after year have really been an Achilles heel for this team. It doesn't allow them to get into any real momentum or get into the flow. And we all know that baseball is about momentum. When you're going into October, you want to have something going. It's not the time to try to generate it. So I think that Tampa Bay takes care of him tonight. You know, and I thought they were going to hold him for game four, but they're actually sending him out tonight. It's Rasmussen. He pitched game one, and he allowed only one hit in the eighth inning.

20:54He almost no hit their asses. So I think they're going for the juggler. Mr. Baseball, I know they have Rodon pitching for the Jan Cheater Skankies. He ended up with 7-3. I know he was hurt during the year, 2.67 ERA. Do you think they have a chance to survive tonight or not, Mr. Baseball? Yes, I do. I think they're going to stay close watching on him to see how he does, you know, take it inning by inning. And if he can give them at least four or five innings and give it to the bullpen, I'm pretty sure he can. The Yankees are struggling. The only reason they got away was Boston. Of course, it's been going everywhere with their system going to the database and all that didn't work out for the Boston.

21:54So I thought the Yankees would come in and have that surge and that energy and they just back to where they were every year. Got it. So I think they will – I think the base will take a chance on him. But like I said again, inning by inning and see how it goes for tonight for him. Okay. We also have Milwaukee San Diego tonight. That series 2-1 right now. Milwaukee won two spectacular games, 1-2. coming back from behind in both games, and even beat Miller in the second game. And then on the third game, they didn't have him available because he was in paternity leave for game three, and they used somebody else to close the game, and they did that.

22:47And now that series 2-1. To me, this series goes back to Milwaukee for game five, in my opinion. What do you think about that, Mr. Wilson?

23:00Yeah, it's a real good chance that the Padres are able to pull out or protect home field. But the Brewers have been on fire all year. I think that they also have a chance to be able to close it out. If I had to make a prediction, I'm going to say that, yes, it could go back to Milwaukee. but I don't think that the Padres will be going with them. I think that Milwaukee closes it out in four. Oh, nice. Well, I would say this. I think they'll lose game four, goes back to Milwaukee, but Milwaukee will close it out in Milwaukee and definitely will play the winner of the, you know, series between the Blue Evil Empire LA Dodgers versus the Atlanta Braves.

23:53You know, we'll see what happens on that series. We know the heavily favorite is the Blue Evil Empire, LA Dodgers. They are playing to become the first team ever in National League history to three-peat. So they're playing for something. They play from bragging rights and a mark in history, in the great history of Major League Baseball. There's no doubt in my mind. guys of these teams that are battling here. Tampa Bay versus the White Sox. Mr. Wilson, who do you see coming out of this? And I'm going to say this about the White Sox. Sometimes you don't have to be the best team, but if you're the team of destiny, everything rolls your way.

24:38I'm going to say that about Chicago right now. But I think it's Tampa Bay's year to be in the World Series, in my opinion. that pitching staff is is nasty and i think they got a great opportunity they got a great opportunity to go ahead and be in the world series but i'm picking tampa bay who you got mr wilson between the white socks and the tampa bay race if that happens to be the final of the american league championship um yeah my expectations are that though the white Sox are playing at a very high clip. They took a loss today, but it's baseball. So we understand how that goes. I expect the Tampa Bay Rays to be able to take care of the White Sox if that were the case, if that were the team to advance.

25:32They still got a series there against the Guardians. So we'll see how it goes. But I expect Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay is my favorite to come out of the AL Okay. What about you, Mr. Baseball, Hector Cepeda? If the White Sox happen to be the team to go against Tampa Bay Rays, which team you think will go to the World Series? I'm sticking with Tampa Bay from the last show. Okay. And it's proving it now with the, like I said, with the pitching, it's dominating. is there as well. I think they're a more aggressor team than the White Sox. Because, you know, I just feel like they're going to dominate a little bit more.

26:25Especially with experience in that team and the coaching staff as well. But we'll never know. Yeah, we'll never know. What about in the National League? It's supposed to be the Evil, Blue Evil Empire, the LA Dodgers, and it seems like they're going to be facing Milwaukee this time in the finals of the National League title. I think Milwaukee will give everything they got, and the Dodgers will have to go ahead and face that challenge. It reminds me a little bit of the World Series last year between Toronto and the Dodgers. Toronto gave them everything, but the Dodgers, with that championship pedigree, they were able to go ahead and pull the series and become the back-to-back champions and now trying to three-peat.

27:16I'm going to take that experience with the Blue Evil Empire Dodgers and defeat the Brewers in seven games. So I got a Tampa Bay Blue Evil Empire Dodgers World Series. And Mr. Wilson, get ready, because I think we can get into one World Series game. Ha-ha! But I'll talk to you about that one later. How do you do it? Let me know. I'll let you know. Mr. Sepreda, do you like my prediction of the Dodgers versus the Rays for the World Series?

27:54I wouldn't. Well, it's a bit of both. I like Brewers. I've been saying that from the last show. I think they're more aggressive in their best compared to Dodgers as you know from last year to this year they're carrying it to this playoff depending on mistakes in hitting home runs but yes they do have one good pitcher that dominated last night I see it going maybe 6 7 like you said But I don't think if the Braves comes in like they are right now, aggressive, especially with their speed and power, and the pitching stay up to the task, they can make it to the World Series. Look, what happened last year, I drank that Kool-Aid with Milwaukee because they have beaten the L.A.

28:52Dodgers during the regular season very comfortably. So I think Mr. Wilson and I, we were on the same page regarding Milwaukee defeating the L.A. Dodgers. But The Voice and Teddy Mack, big L.A. Dodgers fan, he went and said, no, the playoffs is a different animal, and this is when this team goes crazy. And the reason I'm bringing that point is because during the regular season, Atlanta won 5-1, the respective series during the regular season, and they already got two games over Atlanta. So this team knows how to raise the bar, in my opinion. Mr. Wilson, do you got Milwaukee this year to come out of the National League or do you think the Dodgers will try to make history and be the first team in the National League history to three-peat?

29:47I said Milwaukee at the beginning of the season. I'm not backing out now. So, yeah, I think that Milwaukee has a chance to knock him off. Yamamoto, he showed off last night. It was a great outing by him. And like Mr. Baseball said, he's one of their pitchers who is – he's doing his thing out there. He's handling that mound and he's putting his balls and strikes exactly. His placement is right where he wants it to be right now, which is what you need this time of year. But I think that the Brewers can pull this off. They've been an extremely good team over the past couple of seasons. And, yeah, I say they give the Dodgers everything they can handle and they take them out.

30:37I see them in the worst. There we go. World Series between the Brewers and the Tampa Bay Rays with Mr. Wilson and the one and only Mr. Baseball, Mr. Cepeda. You know, I got the race against the evil empire, the blue evil empire, LA Dodgers, to try to repeat. And then I'll let you know when that happens. Then I'll make my prediction who's going to win that World Series. You know, it's been an incredible ride for baseball. You know, today was mentioned that the Pat McAfee show regarding the CBA bargaining and what's going to happen. You know, one side is into, hey, you know, we got baseball. We know salary cap.

31:24And you guys think that we need a salary cap. But if you look at it, we got teams from small markets like Tampa Bay, the Cleveland Guardians, you know, making the playoffs. And then you're complaining that the other teams are not making it because, well, there happen to be small markets too. So it's going to be a battle back and forth. And I think that's the reason. I hope I'm totally wrong, but they will have a new agreement by December 1st when it's needed, because that's when the current CBA agreement expires. The collective bargaining agreement comes to an end December 1st. And then after that, amen, it is whatever it's going to be.

32:05But, you know, and they talk about deferred payments and and that's a way of cheating. They are talking that it's even illegal in a way to do what they're doing, and that could be fraud. I don't know exactly the details why in the Pat McAfee show they came with those comments. I think this is going to be a long, long offseason once the World Series is over. Mr. Baseball, do you think we're going to have to wait a whole full year before we see baseball again?

32:40that's that's a good question um i'm i i have a feeling that it's not gonna let it's not gonna be a long one i think there's gonna be an agreement sooner than we think it just you know getting everything on the right page once again the right page and meet in the middle i think it'll be it'll be uh done the time the spring training even comes around well we'll see If it does, then... I have my doubts. Me strongly, I have my big doubts that it's going to happen, and I think we're going to see a lockout for at least one year. Mr. Wilson, you think baseball will be taking a break and we'll have to find another sport to cover because imagine not having baseball to cover for an entire year.

33:27Well, we'll be covering it one way or the other, good or bad. Yeah.

33:35Yeah. Yeah. So ultimately I'm hoping that they come to an agreement. Again, these types of things can really impact the league. They can have a ripple effect that doesn't just impact the season that you're going into, but it could have a lasting impact, you know, in terms of draft picks and all sorts of things like that. Like it's not, it's not a good look so um i'm hoping that they're able to come to the table and and get something figured out baseball baseball needs it definitely needs it and i hope they can come to an agreement and prove me wrong and i will i will love that more than anything else you know so anyway uh yeah to mr baseball i want to thank you for your time here at the sports right show tonight You know, we're covering a little bit of baseball.

34:29Now we're going to go into the WNBA. I know you love the ladies, but you probably don't know that much about the WNBA. Not that we know a lot either. But, you know, we love to talk about the ladies. There's no doubt in my mind. Okay? So, hey, I'm going to put you on the spot again, man. What is going on with Manny? I know he's looking for a job as a batting coach, and he deserves that. This guy's probably one of the best pure hitters in Major League Baseball history. Bring him to the show with you. I don't know what you're going to do. I mean, take him with you. I don't know. Whatever you got to do, Mr.

35:09Baseball, we want Manny Ramirez on the show. Tell him to come on and he can state his claim about being a baseball. A hitting coach. A hitting coach, yeah. So, yeah, this will be the platform for him to, you know, air his grievances. Yeah. Anyway. I'll talk to them. But, yeah, we're going to – we're already starting the process, just waiting for a couple of organizations to hire a new general manager. Then once that happens, then the door could start opening for an interview. Got it. That's what I got. from the organization that I already spoke to. Next week, our 81st episode, number 21 for season three.

36:04We are doing tonight number 20, number 80 overall. We're very proud of being already 80 episodes, Mr. Wilson. You believe that? Damn. Wow. Anyway, next week we got Jerry Maguire on the show. Well, actually, Mr. Lee Steinberg, the amazing NFL agent, he will be here with us next week. We're going to talk a little bit about the National Football League for sure. Patrick Mahomes, of course, Steve Young, Warren Moon, Troy Aikman, for sure, with the Dallas Cowboys neighborhood. And how was that relationship and how that relationship between him and Mr. Steinberg made the character of Jerry Maguire and show me the money, baby.

36:53Show me the money. That's a good friend of mine. I got his book. There we go. Well, show me the money. He's going to be here with us next week. Once again, Mr. Baseball, I thank you so much for tuning in with us. Next week, we will talk baseball, no matter what is happening. But we will the following week, and I'll get you onto the show again and talk a little bit about baseball, baby. Okay, thank you. Thank you for having me on the show. No, thank you, sir. I appreciate it, and have an amazing day. Talk to you soon, brother. You too. Thank you. Okay, Mr. Wilson. Hey, how you like that phone line?

37:33Did it work pretty well? That sounds pretty good. Oh, man, there we go. There we go. Our phone lines is 813-813-2087. So, folks, if you want to make a phone call and tell us that you like the Sports Rise show here with Sports Pops, Mr. Wilson and the Dallas Cowboys neighborhood. We're missing two of our pit crew members, which is Shy Chica, with her lady sports happy hour that looks something like this. Okay? And we're missing the voice. Of course, listen to the voices if you want to get in trouble with the voice. Ortiz, he's celebrating her birthday. and he said, I'm going for the free dinner that they offer me versus doing the show.

38:22That's what we got. He's taking that free meal. We got to get an image of Shy Chica on that. Oh, you want a photo of Shy Chica? I mean, I got her here. Who bought that up? Yeah, but she's got to represent on the pink background. We got to give her her Give her her flowers there. We got you, Shy Chica. We got you. Exactly, Shy Chica. Look at these guys. Man, he has never defended me that way on the show. You know? But it is what it is, Shy Chica. He's taking your side. Let's talk a little bit about the WNBA playoffs. There's action tonight. Well, they should have started already at 730. is the game between the New York Liberty and Atlanta, where Angel Reed's plays now.

39:17That series won nothing. It's 23-19 right now, New York Liberty winning that basketball game tonight. And then later on, we got the defending champions, Las Vegas Aces, against the Golden State Valkyries, I think. Valkyries, yes, sir. You see, bro? I'm learning, brother. I'm learning about these ladies. That series right now, it is the Golden State Valkyries 1-0 over the defending champions. There's not much to talk about here. I think at the end of the day, Las Vegas Aces should be in the finals again, defending that championship with the best player in the planet when it comes to the ladies.

40:01Miss A.J. Wilson also wants to be an MMA fighter. No? Yes, she wanted to be an MMA fighter last week. It was ridiculous. Not me. Stephen A. Smith, Craig Carton. Who was the other one? Oh, Jason Whitlock for sure. They said that she was out of place. There was no reason for her to try to go into the stands to go and try to, I guess, pick up a fight or whatever it was with an older man that went like this. and she got mad because that's the Sophie Cunningham, you know, point thing. I mean, she got all upset and make it sound like you're not respecting me, you're disrespecting me. You imagine if she played in the era of the 70s and the 80s and the fans would have done something.

40:54I think she would have to quit the WNBA. What do you think about that, Mr. Wilson? How about your cousin, A.J. Wilson? well the 70s there was there was no wmba no that's what i'm saying but imagine if they had a league and with the type of fans we had at that time speculation again you know i mean i i don't i don't go as far as you do with all this stuff again you know i mean everybody around said that the that the fan didn't do anything like outrageous or anything like that security came They didn't take the person out. So there was no further anything in terms of that. I don't know what was going on.

41:36I don't know whether or not she was just having a bad night. But I just stick to the basketball. She's a phenomenal player. And the Valkyries, we can't put anything past them. They won game one. And there's a good chance that this team can put it all together and beat the Aces. Because Asia Wilson is going to have to get back into her right mindset and start playing some real good basketball to beat the Valkyries to take them out. Who do you like between Atlanta and the New York Liberty? I like New York personally.

42:12I'm going to – I think New York's playing really well. But Dream finished off the season, better record. I think there's a reason for that. I think that the dream, I think that it's going to be a Valkyries dream. Finals. Finals. Wow. Yeah, I think that Asia Wilson, not that her run is over, but I think that the Valkyries team is a team that has, is a well-rounded team, has good shooting, good defense, and I think that they'll be able to go to their first WNBA. And congratulations to Angel Reese. I believe she won Defensive Player of the Year.

43:00I didn't get word on that, to be honest with you. I believe she did. I could be totally wrong. Let's ask ChatGPT. Sometimes they know what they're talking about. Hey, Chatty, who won the Defensive Player of the Year at the WNBA? I believe it was Angel Reese. Angel Reese. Yes, it was. It was. Yeah. Well, congratulations to her. It's an amazing accomplishment for her coming from Chicago and on that trade, has made that team what it is today. And if it happens to your prediction, Mr. Wilson, they could be winning a championship and then the world will belong to Angel Reese, not anybody else. Let me tell you.

43:41If that happens and being the defensive player of the year, it's an amazing accomplishment. So congratulations to Angel Reese. You are talented. and you're also beautiful, so keep doing your thing. Okay? Mr. Wilson, you got anything to add about this Paul's Ride Show, Ladies' Paul's Happy Hour, anything that has to do with the WNBA? No. Well, I will say Chicago letting Angel Reese out, you know, I believe that that may have been one of the best things that could have happened to her in her career because she's gotten a second chance to really go out there and compete for what every athlete covets, which is a championship.

44:26So good for her. I'm happy to see that she's getting the accolades and everything, and we'll see how it goes for her. It was a good season. There we go. Let's go into it's about time, but, you know, not with top four, Maverick, because he's about to get married on the 25th, and they got him running everywhere for that wedding. I mean, this man is becoming an octopus to get everything done for this wedding. So congratulations to him. Really quick before we close this thing about the ladies, who bucked that up? A.J. Wilson with a fan. I will have to say that one. That's my first. Who bucked that up?

45:11Let's go into the National Football League. and we had an amazing week for, again, a lot of surprises. Let's start with the game between the Browns and the Steelers. Last Thursday night, my man, Deshaun I deserved a massage. Watson was at it again, and they defeated the Steelers. Big surprise, and the Browns are 3-1?

45:39Yes, Browns are 3-1. and quite the surprise for everybody. And I'm just as surprised as everybody else is, but Deshaun Watson is playing at a really, he's playing good football right now. You know what I mean? Nobody can deny that. And the Cleveland Browns, they've been able to establish some sort of a running game and a little bit of balance with Judkins in the backfield there as well. And nobody ever had any trouble with this defense. Verse coming over from the Los Angeles Rams really gives that defense some tenacity, some physicality, and just an attitude that he brings sometimes to the team's detriment because he gets flagged for certain things.

46:29But I think that he really, I think that he really become the anchor of that defense, which was once again, never the problem. Now the offense coming along and putting some points up on the board really helps that come along. And, again, 3-1, we can't knock them, but we'll be watching every single week, and you're only as good as your last week. So we'll see what we have to say. And you're coming about Verge. He's the one that got traded for Miles Garrett. And what a feeling had that to be. You know, you're coming from the Philadelphia, I mean, the L.A. Rams, you know, a team competing for Lombardi Trophy.

47:10And then you go into Cleveland where everybody thinks it's a complete dumpster. And you're making your presence be there. You're a leader, a vocal leader, and a physical leader within that defense. And now Deshaun is playing a little bit of vintage Deshaun Watson. So I have to say, very impressed with what they're doing so far. this year. And Munkin, which is the head coach, I take my hat off to you. I didn't thought you were going to do anything with this team. But after the first four weeks of the season, you are in first place. And that only means that Chedot saying this, lifetime concussions protocol, favorite quarterback, won't play this year.

47:57Anyway, Colts commanders, we know the commanders going through a lot of injuries, starting with their franchise quarterback, Jaden Daniels, out with an elbow injury. Also, McLaurin, the wide receiver, was out with a knee injury or hamstring. I don't remember. I know it's a leg injury, and he wasn't there either. Really easy games for the Colts, winning that game in England. They were in London. So definitely a good show for the Colts. They needed that game. They're 2-2 now, and the Commanders are 1-3. I imagine you're happy that the Commanders lost, you know, due to the fact that your Dallas Cowboys neighborhood happened to be in the same division.

48:44But Colts are showing that they got a lot of offense, and even that they're missing some pieces on the wide receiving group, they're putting a nice running game with Jonathan Taylor and the rest of those boys there. what do you think about that what happened in that game um mr wilson um yeah they're right now the commanders are just being bit heavily by this injury bug and it seems to be a a reoccurring event or it's it's becoming that repetitive story coming out of that organization it's almost like there's a black cat running around mario that gets hurt this week so and they had to go to their third string quarterback.

49:30And as you stated, McLaurin, you know, suffering through his injuries when Debo Samuel went there, he was barely ever on the field as well. He was always going through some sort of injury issue. So the Colts, on the other hand, have been average, but they're doing their thing to make sure that they stay within that picture. in the AFC South where they can at least, I don't think that they're going to catch the Jaguars, but they can at least stay close to where they can qualify for a wild card position, especially with Donovan Taylor. So, yeah, what happened there is what we all expect. No Jaden Daniels.

50:13I think you said last week, with or without him, and that's what happened. Exactly. Let's go into the Titans and the Ravens. Ravens come with a big victory, but at a high cost. as Lamar Jackson suffering ankle injury. He is very doubtful for this week and probably will have to miss the next couple of weeks for them. Now, in a good note, they went and got the center from Philadelphia today, which surprised the whole world because the tackle retire unexpectedly. And then they go and lose their center today, which he was playing out of position. I understand that he was playing guard, but he's really truly a center.

50:58And the Ravens need a center. So I think this is a great acquisition by the Ravens. And they're going to be even more dangerous after that. We'll see if they can handle the next couple of games without Lamar. The next one is against Atlanta, a team that looked like shouldn't belong in the National Football League for the first two weeks. and the next two weeks, my God, what a difference with Panics at the quarterback helm. And we know that running game, the Robinson-Robinson combination now, you know. We know B-chan is the main reason, but they also have the other Robinson getting 10 carries here and really giving something extra to that running game in Atlanta.

51:41But let's go into Ravens and Titans. There's not much to talk. We know the Titans are just a team that is in develop mode. We can say a few things regarding Ward and Tate, the number one pick receiver. Finally, they had a bigger game this week. And I hope they can, even if they don't win football games, that that communication between the two becomes very steady within their games. And that will make them more competitive. After that, shocker of the week. The Patriots looked that they were done. Everybody talked so bad about Drake, the truth made. And all they kept talking was about Mr. Judge MVP Allen.

52:33That's all we hear every week. And they went into Buffalo with the Big Bisons and grabbed them by the horn and beat them 29-26. big time game because it's a divisional game and it was a game that it was needed by the Patriots so how surprised were you that they went into Buffalo and got that victory Mr. Wilson

52:57um quite surprised um I don't think that anybody picked the Patriots really to have much of a chance um maybe we did get somebody who picked the Patriots last week Nonetheless, the Patriots showed some fervor. They showed some grit. They went out there against a divisional opponent and said, yeah, we're going to spoil this home game for all of your fans here at the new Highmark Stadium. And they just went out there and they played good football. Drake May running the ball. He had 54 yards on eight carries. Eight carries, excuse me. So he was doing everything that it took to get this game, and they got it.

53:42So good for him. Way to clear the narrative and the talks and quiet the chatter. And hopefully he can turn his season around and look like the quarterback that we saw last year. There we go. Let's go into the Bears and the Jets. Not much to say besides Chai Sheikha's Bears got the victory, 23-12. another quarterback into the mix, and Ben Johnson made him look like he should be the starter, just like he did with Case Keenum the week before. He looked like the starter. I mean, this team is just unbelievably well coached, and, you know, I repeat this a lot of times, saying I sound like a broken record.

54:22Ben Johnson is the best damn coach in the National Football League right now. Did you like that little thing that I sang you with a song with uh playstation coach campbell singing didn't see um yeah i watched like half of it yeah when he was singing to the pictures yeah yeah man but but yeah ben johnson is that guy you know i mean i don't know too many coaches um with their second and third string you know well It was third string the week before. Now Baygent came back his second string, and it doesn't look like the team missed a beat. Don't get me wrong. There are no Caleb Williams, but at the end of the day, for them to be able to come out there and still run that offense with efficiency, being the second and third quarterback, Ben Johnson deserves a hell of a lot of credit.

55:19Yeah. I know you hate to say it, but you forgot that Caleb Maybelline Williams, you know, he's better known here. How's that? Caleb Mabellon Williams, baby. The thing is, I knew that you would make sure that it was safe. I'm going to make sure that the name we gave him here belongs to him. There's no doubt. Like I said, every sports story belongs to you. Caleb Mabellon Williams, that Mabellon belongs to you, Caleb. You know, nothing but love. Jowers Bengals. I thought the Bengals were going to win this game at home. No. So Bengals came in and defeated the Jaguars. I mean, the Jaguars came in and defeated the Bengals 22-17.

56:01We saw how the main wide receiver for Jamar Chase suffered a concussion. So we kept seeing a lot of players, key name players, high expectation players getting hurt lately. And I don't know, but the Bengals are putting themselves again into that big hole to try to come back and get a playoff position at the end of the season. So for the Jaguars, 3-1, great game for them. They are taking care of that South division. And if they continue this way, they should be the champions of the South once again. Or no, they got the wild card last year. Houston won that division, correct?

56:49Houston, I don't think Houston won it. I think that they made the playoffs as a wild card. I think Jaguars did win that division last year because Houston started off 0-3, but then they reeled 11 off. I'm not sure. We'll have to circle back to that. Yeah, yeah, we'll circle back to that at one point. But the Jaguars beat the Bengals. All I can say is, Bengals, you got to get your shit together because if not, you know, this is going to get short and sweet, and I will see another head coach losing their job, to be honest with you. Let's go into probably one of the biggest games of the week, even though the Texans are 0-4.

57:26It was the Dallas Cowboys. It was the Battle of Texas as the Cowboys went into Houston and defeated the Texans 34-30. Cowboys go 2-2, Texans 0-4. Mr. Wilson, myself, the boys, we thought this was a Super Bowl defense. They are not. They're not. I know we had this discussion week one when I dropped them in football fantasy. You convinced me to pick them back up, but they're done. This defense, like I said in the first game when Buffalo went in there and had Kincaid looking like he was my bride from the Arizona Cardinals, I said, we got problems. And that's exactly what happened. So Cowboys went in there and did what they had to do.

58:19Loved that last drive by Dak Prescott connecting with City Lamb and get the victory. What else did you get out of that game from your Dallas Cowboys? That our offense is really good and our defense is still really bad ranking 31st in total defense at this point is not going to get it done and no offense in the world is going to get you over that hump. not even the greatest show on turf. I don't care who it is. You're going to need more from your defense to make sure that you stay relevant and that you're staying within these ball games, because just like you can score, other teams can score. And if your defense can't stop anybody, that's going to become a real big time problem.

59:09They rank 24th in total passing defense. So they've got a lot to do in terms of that side of the ball. I think that Joey Porter Jr. will help. So seven new players on this defense that we got coming in with Christian Parker as the new DC. So I'm just hoping that this is just the gelling process, and we'll see how it goes. Hopefully they come into midseason for him sooner than later. There we go. Cardinals, Giants. This has got to be the craziest week in football, week four, because you got the Cleveland Browns in first place and you also have the New York Giants in first place? Oh, Jesus. Well, the Giants went and received the Cardinals in New York or Jersey and won the football game 36 by 24.

1:00:06The Giants are showing the hardball effect, even with the main pieces out of the equation. You know, Burns on the defensive side, Jackson Dart on the offensive side. But, I mean, neighbors came alive. They're doing the thing right now. So how impressed you are with the New York Giants, Mr. Wilson? I have to say with all of the things that they've overcome, losing their starting quarterback, and as you stated, some key members from the defensive side of the ball, to start the season three and one and already have a win against a division opponent in the Dallas Cowboys. That's pretty impressive.

1:00:54And again, it kind of shows what happens when a new scheme and a new coaching staff comes in and instills a different type and a different mentality and creates an identity, which we'll talk about with Philly because Sirianni doesn't know what the identity is in Philly, but you can see that the New York Giants, though they are going through these tough times, they do have an identity that's established starting with their head coach. Now that we're going to get into the Eagles and the Rams, Rams won the game 24-20. It It was a hard-fought game. But right now, you know, congratulations to the Rams.

1:01:39They're 2-2. But the Eagles, what the heck happened today? Between yesterday and today, they lost two offensive linemen. The third one out of the five starters this year. Are they sinking? Are they giving up? Or is it something that I'm missing, Mr. Wilson? because doing what you're doing just don't make no sense at all. Why they're trading an offensive lineman at this juncture in the season, I'm not sure about that. What happened with Lane Johnson, of course, those were personal reasons, mental health concerns and things like that, and him just wanting or just feeling like he needs to be closer to his family at this point.

1:02:28So that's an unfortunate thing for the Philadelphia Eagles. It's a good thing for Lane Johnson. I'm happy that he's doing what he feels is best for himself and for his family. That's all of that. I couldn't, I can't, you know, object to that whatsoever. With the Philadelphia Eagles, man, I think that we have to kind of look at A.J. Brown is a prophet right now. And not so much a prophet, but an insider, because he was saying these things were coming down the pike. He didn't understand what was happening. And now it's all coming to fruition. It's all coming to pass. And he's no longer in the building.

1:03:12So what's the excuse now? Sirianni has some answers or some questions to answer. And like I said, at this point, A.J. Brown, maybe he was being a little bit of a – maybe poking a bear a little bit, but the fact of the matter is the Philadelphia Eagles are becoming what A.J. Brown suspected they were going to become. Yeah, it's not a good look, not just for Sirianni as the head coach, but actually the general manager and ownership. You guys are, like, tanking at this point of the season when you're basically two and two. I don't know what's going on. it has to be something internally very heavy.

1:03:53I don't think we will know about it, at least until the next few weeks, or maybe even after the season is over, and then things will start coming out into reality what took place inside that locker room. But for you having eruptly a Hall of Famer offensive lineman go and say, okay, I'm going to call it the quits, and then you have another one, and you go ahead and trade them, because your analysis that you had him playing out of position, he was playing guard instead of center. The Ravens need the center. I think this is going to be great for the Baltimore Ravens. So once they get Lamar Jackson back and the rest of that team, they're going to take advantage of that.

1:04:38But, I mean, the Eagles. Shy Sheik, I wish you were here because I want you to explain me what is going on with those Chiggles. you know they're cheating their own selves i think well i can tell you this right now that offense this year 15 three and outs and this is a team that won a super bowl a couple of years back 15 three and outs in four games that is low efficiency and that's putting it very nicely but to give Hertz some credit now I think his name is Maroney I forget what the offensive coordinator's name but three consecutive seasons they've had a different offensive coordinator I think that that also lies at the feet of Sirianni and of course the GM and everybody else they've got to figure out what's happening and they better do it soon he's on the hot seat if you ask me my understanding is this is like the 10 offensive coordinator that Jalen Herr has to go through in 11 years.

1:05:41Oh, he hasn't been in the league for 11 years. It was something like that they said today. No, yeah, he's been through quite a bit. There's been seasons where he's had like two offensive coordinators. Wow. And right now, again, they rank 29th in yards per game. They went for a fourth down and short and didn't get it with tush pushes. and also it's just it doesn't look like the same Philadelphia Eagles team. Yeah. I mean, so many offensive coordinators, in my opinion, we know he won one Super Bowl MVP. If they would have got the first one against Kansas City, he would have been the MVP. So he would have been the two-time MVP champion.

1:06:29So just like Eli Manning out of the Hall of Fame. Oh, sorry. Too soon for that. Let's go into the Packers and the Yacaneers, Tampa Bay Yacaneers. They're 0-4. The Packers go 2-2. I think both teams are in a lot of trouble, even though the Packers got the victory.

1:06:57Packers just took advantage of what they needed to take advantage of, and they got the victory. For the Buccaneers, they play tomorrow night. Thursday night football is going to be against your beloved Dallas Cowboys neighborhood from AT &T Stadium, correct? Yes, sir. I'm going to say this. If they don't compete and the Dallas Cowboys just wipe them out of in the first two quarters and win this game by over 20 points, I'm sorry. Light, you need to get rid of top balls. If you keep it, I already said it, the word loyalty. Loyalty to Baker Mayfield, loyalty to Vito Bea, loyalty to top balls is going to cost a lot of people their jobs.

1:07:52and that includes top balls that entire staff gotta go and also gm light has to go so uh it's gonna be a complete cleanup in tampa uh i'm sorry tampa bay fans i know you would love for me to say something positive but there's a reason why i'm calling them the tampa bay jackaneers We'll see what happens when Baker comes back, the$165 million quarterback, that basically is playing like he should get only$10 million per year. And that's the honesty to it. Mr. Wilson, what you got out of the Packers-Yackeneers game? This is probably the toilet bowl of the week, in my opinion. these two teams look like they look like shells of themselves the Packers don't look good the Buccaneers look abysmal and the truth of the matter is that I've got to side with you on this in terms of they've got a clean house but my biggest issue with it is this GM just gave just gave what's his name, Baker I drew a blank there for a second.

1:09:12He's so forgettable at this point in the season. Baker Mayfield, this contract, and now another GM has to inherit. They should have blown this thing up last year. Honestly, they should have blown this thing up last year, and this is going to have a lasting – this is going to carry over to years past or to years to come because now a new GM is going to come in and he's stuck with Baker, and they're going to have a horrible season this year and they could possibly go out there and get one of these six quarterbacks who are coming out of college who everyone expects to be pro ready. This was bad for the Buccaneers.

1:09:51This was bad, bad, bad for the Buccaneers. Yeah, I think they should have gone and tag him and just pay that one year. And then if he played well, then you go with a two-year contract. If he doesn't, then hey, thank you for everything, Baker, that you did, but it's not working anymore. You got to keep going now. You got to keep that. Hopefully he doesn't keep playing the way he is right now. This reminds me of what happened in Miami. You start paying players left and right, and then you have a salary cap issue. And the only difference here is at least the Buccaneers might be able to get the number one pick overall versus the Dolphins, you know, before it's all scouted out.

1:10:34I know you should not be playing for the first pick overall, but right now both Florida teams, there are three. One is winning to win a championship. The other two are playing for the number one pick overall next year's draft, and that's the Tampa Bay Jackeneers against Miami's Suffering Dolphins. There's no doubt in my mind. So here's the thing with that. The issue is not so much that they can get the first overall pick. when you get the first overall pick, you don't want money on your books. And you don't want a$50 million quarterback on your books. The Dolphins, by the time you went through their whole rebuild thing, their five-year plan, you're talking about getting money off their books.

1:11:19The problem is that they just put money on their books. And the way that the Raiders are doing it is they have a quarterback who they're not paying a lot of money to in Kirk Cousins. Correct. And that's what you want because you want that flexibility while your quarterback is on their rookie contract. The Bucs don't have that. They bucked this up. They bucked that up. There we go. We got two bucks up today. First, it was A.J. Wilson, and now the Tampa Bay Buccaneers front office bucked that up. Dolphins show a little bit of character on the defensive side. I know they didn't have Justin Jefferson playing for this game, But they fought all the way to the end, and they won 15-10, the Vikings did, over the Miami Dolphins.

1:12:05But they have been showing some signs on the defensive side. The prior week was against the Kansas City Cheaters, and now this week was against the guys with the horns, the Minnesota Vikings. They can build on that, you know, by the third year, say, hey, we got a solid defense that maybe can make some noise and allow us to, between the fourth and fifth year of this development experiment, to make the playoffs. So they play well. Vikings are in a little bit of trouble. I think Kyler Murray, we thought it was going to be the answer of the quarterback position. They traded J.J. McCarthy to the Giants.

1:12:45I know they got Carlson Wentz in there waiting on the backup job, and I think that's what's going to end up being. Calcio Wentz will be the starter quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. They're awful in offense, especially when Justin Jefferson is not there. I mean, he's ugly, ugly. Now, the one question I want to go and ask you, because besides the victory of the Vikings, a lot of people in the betting world are saying that T.J. Hawkinson, instead of taking that touchdown, went and kneeled down because the betting world. Do you agree with that consensus opinion from fans out there that he actually took the knee so the Dolphins will cover the spread and have a lot of people losing money?

1:13:43Again, speculation. I don't know. I'm not a better, but honestly, people are going to say all sorts of things. If he would have scored the touchdown, then they would have said that he bet on themselves to cover the spread. So I don't know in terms of that. I think that it can become a murky water just because there's so many betting sites and things like that. And the league itself is actually promoting that. ESPN, all of these things are promoting that. They got players, you know, on FanDuel and things like that. So it becomes like at this point you don't know. And I think that that's the reason why eventually they might have to just remove all of this stuff from the game.

1:14:33But I'll tell you a reason why they won't. Because the money is too damn good. So I guess speculation will always be a part of this game moving forward, unfortunately. the Kansas City Cheaters went into Las Vegas to play Las Vegas Raiders a heck of a football game Cousins played his heart out we know the Chiefs did what they had to do but we understand the Chiefs are 4-0 the Raiders are 3-1 but one thing they prove they're for real this Raiders team is for real they're not joking around and at the end of the season they can break a lot of hearts, to be honest with you. So we'll see how it all ends.

1:15:19But, you know, K-9, again, put on another show for the Kansas City Cheaters. You know, so offensively, I think Walker was an immense piece added to these Kansas City Cheaters offense. There's a rumor Tyreek Hill might come back. Do you like the fit, again, of Tyreek Hill playing for the Kansas City Cheaters? Even that we understand, he knows the playbook. So that should be an easy way to get into the team immediately and be a piece that will bring a championship to Kansas City. How do you feel about that? And if it becomes an acquisition by the Kansas City Cheaters by bringing Tyreek Hill once again?

1:16:06Well, he probably doesn't know the playbook, but he definitely knows the scheme that they like to run. There's still going to be a lot of understanding in terms of terminology and things like that, because those things get changed every single year. So he's going to have to get up to speed with cadence changes and things like that. But I'm sure Patrick Mahomes would love to have a deep threat. They've lost Thornton now. I'm not sure exactly how long he's going to be out. but that deep threat would definitely come in handy. It's something that Patrick Mahomes likes to do, especially with the running game like K-9, as you mentioned.

1:16:43Getting guys creeping down into the box, that deep threat has been something they've been going to this year, and it's been something that has been helping Thornton get quite a bit of looks and start off with a pretty good beginning to his season. So replacing that until Thornton gets back with Tyreek Hill, that sounds pretty damn good to me. I'm sure it sounds good to the Kansas City Chiefs. Oh, it does, definitely. But once again, the Raiders are here to stay. That nucleus is going to be unbelievable. And hopefully, I'm hoping that Mendoza is learning a lot behind Kirk Cousins and be a prepared quarterback when he gets his chance to be the signal caller for that team right there.

1:17:25You know the voice has something to say about that right now. Oh, yeah. bringing up that thing. But one other thing, they have a tough stretch coming up. Fork Mendoza. Go ahead. So we'll see how real they are. They've got the Patriots, they've got the Bills, and they've got the Rams coming up over the next three games. So that's a tough slate. So we'll see. Again, you don't expect them to win these games, right? But if they can keep it close, if they can stay competitive, I think that that says a lot moving forward for the Las Vegas Raiders. So that's more or less what you want to see. You don't want to, you don't, you don't expect them to beat the Patriots bills or the Rams.

1:18:03I think that those will be losses in my opinion, but a competitive game would say a lot for them. There we go. Chargers Seahawks and talking about being competitive. I mean, the Chargers, this is the first time I think in, in my life, witnessing football that I'm saying an offensive coordinator needs to go now. Now that head coach, the offensive coordinator, You're trying to fire Mike McDaniels. Bro, I drank that Kool-Aid. I'll be the first one to admit it. I thought that Mike McDaniel going into the Chargers with Justin Herbert, Jim Harbaugh. I say, this is going to be unbelievable. They came out on the Pat McAfee show.

1:18:46He came out with a nice jacket. They were talking and everybody, how cool you guys are. I think this is going to be a heck of a year for the Chargers. Well, my friends, they're all in four. And when you had a quarterback that he was – I know Mr. Wilson doesn't like it, but he was prolific his first four years there. And he had a lot of records being broken and everything else. There was a stat the other day that he was number five in the last five years within all the quarterbacks, like Lamar, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, he's number five on that list. So I have to say this. It's impossible for somebody to get that bad that immediately because supposedly you wanted to teach him mechanics.

1:19:39It's just too awful. I don't know if he needed to play preseason with you for those mechanics issues that you supposedly observed. Mike, Eminem, whatever the hell we want to call you, you lose this next football game, and the Chargers got to go ahead and make a change. They have to. They have to. They have to. They have to let him go. Bring the philosophy that you had the past couple of years where he was more effective. The offensive linemen are back. You know, I know that McConkie, I think, is hurt, if I'm not mistaken. He's a little bit banked up. But, I mean, something's got to happen. And he's the firing of defensive coordinator.

1:20:28The first time I have thought that way since I've been watching football. I always say that let the head coach go. Excuse me. Let the head coach go and we go from there. But no, no. This time it's let the offensive coordinator go. And, Harbaugh, you go ahead and grab that team again and do what you got to do with it. that's too much talent to be on for be honest with you the whole the whole team's gonna get blown up in my opinion at this point i don't know how much more faith they have in harbaugh how much more faith they have in in um in justin herbert even but i know he's not going anywhere but i do think that the regime change is down the pike um right now they rank 21st in total offense.

1:21:11They rank 24th in passing offense. That's not the reason why you bring a Mike McDaniels in. Nope. You should be in the top five. Yeah. You should be in the top five. At least give me middle of the pack. Give me top 16. You know what I mean? But 24th in passing when you've got Justin Herbert, that means that there's 23 other quarterbacks who are who are passing for one yardage. Yeah, come on. Bajan and Case Keenum look better than Justin Herbert has this season. No excuse for that. That is true. I cannot disagree with you on that one. You're absolutely right on that one. Hey, the 49ers hosted the Broncos, and 49ers won again.

1:21:59They're 4-0. They're looking good. Brock Purdy looking great. I said that he was not worth it, the$52 million,$53 million he's getting. But at least he's playing up to that contract right now. He's putting lights out. And for Kittles, my man, he's back. My man, Kittles, is back. He's looking great. So congratulations to him to be able to recover from the ACL, if I'm not mistaken. That's what he had last year. He's looking great. And the 49ers are looking great. They're 4-0. They're number one in the division. And, you know, I know Seattle is right behind them with 3-1. But they're playing football right now.

1:22:44And I like what the 49ers are doing right now. Do you think the 49ers are going to win this division, Mr. Wilson? If they keep on playing like this, I think that you have to put them in the mix. It's a tough division to call, though. But right now, you know what I mean? They're up there in terms of total defense at 11. Do you know how many times Brock Purdy has been sacked this year? Zero. The man has not been sacked this season, which is unheard of. So that means they're keeping him clean. McCaffrey's out there doing what McCaffrey does. And when you give Brock Purdy a clean pocket, he's going to pick you apart.

1:23:31He's shown himself capable of doing that. And Kyle Shanahan is still one of the best in the business at calling plays. You know, he's got hook and ladders to Deebo. It looks like a revival of Deebo Samuel at this point. So right now you would have to say that they are the lead dog in this division with the way that they look. Yeah, they are. We haven't seen anything that we don't like. No, no, no. They're playing lights out. Now let's talk about this one. Oh, my God, I want to talk about this game. The Detroit Lions, with Coach Campbell's PlayStation, went into Carolina to play the Panthers. And Panthers took care of business.

1:24:16And I know at the beginning of the year, I said that they were not going to make the playoffs. Somebody told me that I should go into lifetime concussion protocol and drug testing. do you think that I still need that drug test after how the Lions are playing?

1:24:33Yeah, I still think that the Lions are going to make the playoffs. I don't doubt that at all. But the Panthers, we've got to give them some credit. You know, last year I was that person who kept on talking about the Panthers when Rico Dowdle and everything. And every time I would insult them, they would come out and they would have a great game and make me put my foot in my mouth. Well, this year, I can't say that the Carolina Panthers are a better team overall. Bryce Young looks like he's playing better or doesn't look like it. He is playing at a higher clip. Ted Arroyd McMillan, this kid is insane.

1:25:12He's on steroids. He's on steroids, I'll be honest with you. This kid is insane. the coaching out there has been phenomenal. So I'm liking the way that, or the direction that Carolina is going in. And I'm telling you, they're surprising me over teams like the Chargers who we just mentioned. Like this team is showing that they have coaching, playmakers, execution, whereas on the other side, you're looking at teams like, you know, the Chargers and you're like, what the hell is happening here. So giving them their credit, the Lions do need to get it together. They've got one of the best running backs in the league, and there's no reason for them to be struggling in games.

1:25:59More often than not, they should be leading with the type of running game they have. Coach Campbell, get it together. I can only protect you for so long, my friend. Sorry. I'm going to do this. I'm going to make a bet. But if the Lions make the playoffs and Campbell stays the coach in Detroit for the entire season, I cannot call him Coach Campbell or Coach PlayStation Campbell. But if he gets his ass fired this year like he's going to, you're going to have to call him all year long with me, Coach PlayStation Campbell. That's a deal. That's a deal. There we go. There we go. If they make the playoffs, I have to stop it.

1:26:46If they don't make the playoffs and he gets fired, Mr. Wilson, everybody going, can you just say now for rehearsal purposes? No, thank you. Let's go through with the bet. Let's see how the bet plays out. Anyway, Panthers impressed me a lot. That young wide receiver, he's reminding me of a younger Mike Evans. Yeah. You know, that's exactly who's reminding me when the young years of Mike Evans. He's a big dog, like you said. Hey, the Falcons with that explosive running game of B 'Jane Robinson, but also the other Robinson. So now we got the Robinson-Robinson, you know, duo, like my God, and Panics playing conservative, good football, making good decisions.

1:27:34And they went and hit the Saints in the mouth that I thought it was going to be a better show up. I know they got some injuries, including ATN or HN, whatever he wants to be called now. Yeah, HN. Yeah, so they got hit. They got hit in the mouth, and, you know, their quarterback in New Orleans struggled a little. He had some moments, but they struggled, and they lost the game 45-24. so after starting in a horrendous way, the Falcons are now 2-2 and probably will take the South if they continue to play this way, Mr. Wilson. Yeah. Yeah, this running game definitely translates well in December and January, I can tell you that much.

1:28:29So if they can continue this going on with the Robinson neighborhood, Mr. Robinson's neighborhood. They've got something really special here because B. John is one hell of a talent. And Brian Robinson is showing himself to really be paying attention to the work ethic and to the professionalism and the attention to detail that B. John Robinson puts into it. And that's only going to make him a better running back as well. So Tyler Shuck was like, what the Shuck? Because the whole night. Who bugged that up? Yeah. Tyler Shuck was, he wasn't shucking it up. But I'll tell you this right now. It wasn't his fault why they lost this game.

1:29:19They just don't have a running game that they can establish. They had a total, I believe it was like 23 yards or something like that for the entire game in terms of rushing the ball. I think they were outrushed by like 200 yards. So you're just not going to win football games with that type of balance or lack thereof. So, yeah, great showing by the Atlanta Falcons, and they look really damn good. Oh, yeah, they're looking very impressive. After the first two weeks, I thought that this was going to be like, put on your calendars you have a practice game. Not anymore, folks. They're coming to hit your mouth and drop you down immediately.

1:29:58Yes, sir. Look, looking at the standings right now, I know it's very early. It's been only one month of football this year, but the Bills are 3-1. Patriots are right behind them 2-2. More importantly, they already beat them in their divisional game. And the next game is in New England. Big game the next time they play in there because this could decide who wins that division, the AFC East, to be honest with you. Let's go into the AFC North. The big surprise we talked about already, the 3-1 Cleveland Browns. Right now they're in first place, and the Ravens have the same record. But if the playoffs were today, they would be the wild card.

1:30:38And the Cleveland Browns, believe it or not, will be the champions of the AFC North. Jaguars 3-1, Colts 2-2, Texans and Titans 0-4. What a big disappointment by the Texans. Can Nico Ryan keep his job if this continues, Mr. Wilson? I don't think that he's in any risk of losing his job. They do need to get that defense together, though, because they are also ranking mid-to-bottom half of the league in quite a few categories. So it's been what we expected them to hang their hat on, and we can only blame the offense so much when the defense is looking like it is. If the defense was playing the way we expected, then our eyes could turn towards what we all felt was the Achilles heel of the team.

1:31:37But when the meat and the potatoes of your team is playing poorly, D 'Amico Ryan needs to fix that. He has to get that right. And to your point last week, I think I might have been a little bit of a criticizing Strout. He's playing good football. He's playing good football. He's playing football for them to be winning. Let's put it that way. I agree with that completely. If the defense was playing the way that we expected the defense, they would probably be 4-0 right now because it's not like Stroud has stunk up the play. He's played good enough to win games if your defense looks like the number one defense in the league like we expected them to.

1:32:19Coming into the game last week, and I didn't know this stat, It's just that there's so many. He was number one in 20-plus yard passes in the National Football League with 19 already. Yep. So he's putting the ball in play. He's playing. Impressed. Yeah, and I think in quarterback rating, I believe he was number eight. So, hey, he's playing lights out. If your defense shows up, again, you probably wouldn't be 0-4. They probably would have won the game against the Cowboys. They probably would have won the three previous games as well, which it's not like they were getting blown out in these games.

1:32:55These are close games that the defense just seems not to be themselves. No, and the worst part is with so many points on the board. You would never think that a team that scored, you know, a Houston team scoring 31 points is going to lose 31-36. Correct. And fire and so on and everything on the game. So, anyway, we go into the NFC, the Giants 3-1. Cowboys are there 2-2 with the Eagles. Commanders are 1-3. But I think at the end of the day, it's going to be between the Giants and the Cowboys. I think for whatever odd reason, the Eagles decided that this season is over because they departed that entire offensive line.

1:33:36I just cannot believe what they did. And for that, I'm going to say it again. Who bucked that up? The entire Philadelphia Chiggles front office. Hands down. There's no if or buts. you know, Sigriani can only say much. And if he was in favor of that, then it's even a worse scenario than what I'm believing to be just the front office there in Philadelphia. So, Shai Shika, we'll be talking about your Philadelphia shiggles next week and see what's going on. In the NFC North, the Vikings are 4-0. The Bears are 3-1. Another division that I believe that's going to be the two teams right there. I still picking the Vikings to win it, even though their quarterback playing is being awful, but that defense is just disgusting.

1:34:26Flores with that blitzing packages, 71 % of the plays. Hey, if they don't figure it out quick, this guy will put you to sleep with that defense and win the football game. If they start getting better play out of Kyler Murray, or if it comes that Calzone Wentz will be the guy, because we know J.J. McCarthy is gone already. He was traded last week to the Giants for a fifth-round pick. So I like the Vikings winning the division over the Bears. I'm going to stick to that one. But I will say this. Once again, best head coach in the National Football League is Ben Johnson. Ask Coach PlayStation Campbell.

1:35:05Oh, sorry. Too soon for that. Lions 2-2 and the Packers 2-2. I don't think that neither one of these teams will make the playoffs. There's a nice bet in there now. As if the Lions don't make it and Campbell gets fired like he should, then Mr. Wilson will call him Coach PlayStation Campbell next year during the entire season. I can't wait for that one. Anyway, let's go into the NFC South. Panthers are in first place. Falcons are knocking on the door, 2-2. I know the Panthers beat them in one of the first games of the division. Interesting. And Saints and Yaconeers are basically not competing for anything, and I don't think they're going to get any better soon.

1:35:55Saints are more competitive than the Yaconeers, so I have to say it. TBC, I'm sorry. I know you're going to hate me for this, but the worst team in the NFC South is the Tampa Bay Yaconeers. They're competing for something. They're competing for the highest draft pick. Number one pick with the Miami Dolphins. I said it when they lost Baker. I said for sure now, by week six, the two Florida teams will be 0-12 combined. Their goal both are going to be 0-6, the Dolphins and the Tampa Bay Jackeneers. So it's going to be. It's just that they look so bad even with Baker. Every week it looks so bad. The turnovers.

1:36:41And right now that team is allowing the most sacks in the league with 16 over the first four games. Baker was running for his life, eventually led to an injury where he holds on to the ball sometimes way too long. Yes. That team is a mess right now. Todd Bowles, my friend, is not looking good. Look, this has been happening since after their bye week last year. yeah two and seven like two and seven or something no they were six and two and then they went two and seven after the bye oh man okay and they decided to keep him and fire the entire staff now you're gonna have to fire him and the new staff completely uh lich will lose his uh gm job so he's gonna be a clean clean clean clean house in tampa for the next season so we'll see who they bring in and how it's going to work.

1:37:39But right now, oh, it's terrible here in TB City. In the NFC West, the 49ers 4-0, Seahawks 3-1, Rams 2-2, Cardinals 1-3. I still believe that any of these three teams between the 49ers, Seahawks, and Rams can win the division. The other two will get the wild card. But all three teams will be in the playoffs. Hands down. You think I'm on the right path with this one, Mr. Wilson? I can agree with that I can agree with that I don't see any of these teams Missing the postseason I'd be shocked I'm going to propose something for you In case you want to get out of the bed Just say it one time right now And we take the bed off Coach, PlayStation Campbell No?

1:38:28That's alright because if he gets fired Then we won't have to say it very often anyhow No, no, no, no If he gets fired all next year You got to talk about it Yeah, but we won't be talking about them. That's right. That's right. Damn. So it works for me. I've already thought forward with it.

1:38:47Anyway, let's go into the schedule. And let's see what we got here. Keep that games. There we go. Schedule for the National Football League. And let's go into week five. Tomorrow night, Buccaneers, Cowboys. I don't even need to ask you that question. I'm just looking for Shai Shika's picks. She sent them to me. Let's see, Shai Shika. You sent your picks in because she couldn't be on the show today. I know she's got the Cowboys. I know she's an Eagles fan, but you know what I mean? I like her. I think she's cool. You know what I mean? I know she's not going against my boys on this one. I know she's smart.

1:39:34Well, this is what she wrote on the thing. Bucks Cowboys. We really have to pick one of these? Neither, please. That's exactly what she wrote and then, you know, the laughing emoji. She didn't decide who. She said, neither, please. So I'm just going to forfeit and give her a loss in that game because that's crazy. I'm done. I got the Cowboys. Mr. Wilson, I know you got the Cowboys. I got the Cowboys. He didn't send the picks in, but I invited the boys. I got the Cowboys. Fucking Jimmy Johnson, best ever. You know? I got the Cowboys. Even with the 31st-ranked defense. He got three chips. Okay. Anyway, Eagles-Jaguers.

1:40:24I mean, what the Jaguars did, I mean, the Eagles did with their roster, the offensive line especially. We know they don't have no A.J. Brown. Devonta Smith is hurt, banged up. and I still believe he's a 2A. He's not a 1B. So they're in a lot of trouble. They decide to pack the bags with the defensive line. I got the Jawors in an easy game against them in Duval. What about you, Mr. Wilson? Yes, sir. Duval. Duval. We got Sunshine beating up on the Eagles and making life worse on everybody in Philadelphia. Yeah, Trevor Lawrence, a.k.a. Prince Charming from Shrack here at the Sports Night Show. I would say sorry to Shy Chica, but after what we just heard from the first, no, you know what?

1:41:13Whatever. It's not going well for us. She picked the Jowers. I got the Jowers also. Then we got the Bengals and the Dolphins, even though the Bengals started 2-0 and now 2-2. This is a good game to go ahead and get back on the winning track. So I got the Bengals with Joe Bore and company. Shy Chica got the Bengals. What about you, Mr. Wilson? I've got the Bengals as well. It's a bye week for the Bengals. Okay, we got Raiders and Patriots. Let's see who she got. She got the Patriots to defeat the Raiders in New England. I'm going to pull the upsetting here. I'm taking the Raiders. Who you got, Mr.

1:42:02Wilson? You say Drake May goes back to his... Not so much, but I think the Raiders show me that they're for real. And if they can put 27 on Kansas City, I think they can put points on any defense. And I can see for them to answer that back again, back-to-back weeks with big offensive outbursts. I don't know. I got my doubts still on the Patriots. So I'm taking the Raiders on the road on this one. What about you? They got Gentile. Brock Bowers is playing like a freaking madman, like he's mad at the grass. But I'm going to say because this is in New England, and I still believe in that New England Patriots defense, with Christian, your favorite Gonzalez, or your cousin Gonzalez?

1:42:54Oh, Christian, my cousin Gonzalez. Instead of my cousin Vinny, he's my cousin Gonzalez. Yeah. Yeah, I'm going to pick the Patriots in this one. I think that the Patriots pulled this one. Okay, so I got the Raiders on that one. After that, we got Vikings and Saints. This is an easy game. I got the Vikings. Shy Sheik, I got the Vikings. Who you got, Mr. Wilson? Man, this one's tough. Saints aren't playing all that bad. They're actually playing fairly well, but the way that they were running the ball last week and the way that this Minnesota Vikings is flying around and blitzing the quarterback, it's going to be a shuck of a day for Tyler Shuck.

1:43:36I'm going to say the Vikings win this, yeah, on the road. I say Vikings. There we go. You got the Vikings. I do too. And Shyshika does have the Vikings also. Now, I think this is a track game as the Cleveland Browns go into Jersey to play the New York Jets.

1:44:00She has the Browns. What about you, Mr. Wilson? Who you got?

1:44:06Oh, man. I'm going to say...

1:44:15I'm going to say the Browns as well. I'm going to go with the Browns. I'm going with the Browns, too. That is hard, but yes. Yeah. Now, Colts... Geno's been playing pretty well, too, so... Excuse me. Getting that cold weather in here. Anyway, let's go into the Colts and the Steelers. Steelers are 2-2. The Colts are 2-2. I think both teams are pretty much even in the sense that one defensive side is really bad, the other one is okay, and then on the offensive side, one is really bad, and then the other one is okay. Colts into Pittsburgh. What a freaking game. She got the Colts. Shy She can pick the Colts.

1:45:07What about you, Mr. Wilson? Colts or Steelers?

1:45:14Oh, man. This is a rough one, but I am going to go Colts, especially with Aaron Rodgers getting hit as much as he's getting hit and his head coach calling him an FN a-hole last week. I don't know if things are looking up there in the Steelers. Okay, so you got the Colts? I'm going to go Colts. As much as I love Aaron Rodgers, I'm taking the Colts. No doubt in my mind. Then we got the Texans and the Titans. Oh, another cute note from Shai Shika. Titans, Texans, we really have to pick again? But this time she didn't make a pick. She picked the Texans to get the first win of the season. Hey, definitely you got to take the Texans over the Titans.

1:46:12I think it's going to be a defensive battle. But the Texans should come up because Nico Collins is back. Stroud is playing better at the quarterback position. They should win this football game. So I got the Texans. Who you got, Mr. Wilson? I think that this is a good game for the defense to get their acts together. As you stated, Stroud has not been playing bad at all. He's been playing well enough to win football games. If the Titans somehow put up 30 points against this Texans, We've got some real serious questions to answer. But I've got the Texans. I think it's a good week for them to get their stuff in order.

1:46:55Okay, this is a game that for you, Giants commanders, I imagine you would rather the commanders to win this game over the Giants because, you know, the implications within the division. But I'm taking the Giants on this one, on the hardball effect, and they're playing well even though Winston is the quarterback. I like what they're doing. and I take the Giants over the depleted herd commanders. What about you, Mr. Wilson? Who you got? Dan Daniels is likely going to be playing this week. Even with that being said, I'm going Giants. You're going Giants. Well, Mrs. Shachika got the commanders. She decided to go with the commanders, the Redskins.

1:47:38Old school here, baby. Then we got the Bears and the Packers. Let me see what she picked. Let me see what Shyshika got. Oh, no way. No, she didn't pick the Packers. She picked the Bears. She got those Bears with her. I got the Bears, too. What about you, Mr. Wilson? Not much to say. Bears here. Broncos, Chargers. Chargers are playing so bad. It is what it is. I think Mike McDaniel should get fired after losing to the Broncos this week. I got the Broncos. What about you, Mr. Wilson? Broncos for me. Broncos for you. Broncos for Shyshika itself. Now we got the Lions at the Cardinals at Arizona. I don't like the way the Lions are playing, and I predicted they're not going to make the playoffs.

1:48:35So in order for them not to make the playoffs, I got the Cardinals at home beating the Lions this week. she got the Lions roaring what about you Mr. Wilson what you got Cardinals aren't playing bad but they're not beating the Lions I got the Lions oh you got the Lions I haven't asked for anything besides the sweep of the New York Jan Cheater Skankies can you just give me this one too let the Arizona Cardinals take care of Coach PlayStation Campbell and his Detroit Lions. Please, please help me out. Anyway, we got 49ers Seahawks. Oh, my God. The game of the week, baby. Woo! In Seattle. The 12th man will be there.

1:49:31Holy shoot. Well, she took the 49ers. Who you got me, Mr. Wilson? 49ers in Seattle.

1:49:45Man, yeah, this is a tough one. But I am going to say,

1:49:54I'm going to say the Seattle Seahawks with the 13th man. I think that they take care of business here. The only thing that I'm kind of worried about with them is that they're in the middle part of the league tied for 11th against the run this year. So I would like to see their defense play against the run a little bit better, but I'll take them at home. 49ers, Seahawks, the problem with the Seahawks, they can't run the football right now. They don't have an effective running game, and everything has to go through Sam Nodal, Donner, and then Mr. Robot and Jigba because, my God, he's not human. He is not human at all.

1:50:47So being the fact that they are one-dimensional team right now because the running game is not effective, then I expect the 49ers to have a heck of a game plan against that type of offense in the opposition of the Seattle Seahawks. I'm going to take the 49ers on this one, on a nail-biter. But I got the 49ers in a very close game. She took the 49ers. You take the Seattle Seahawks. And once again, I take the 49ers. Ravens-Falcons. Unfortunately, Lamar Jackson is hurt. He looks very, very, very, but I mean very, very, very doubtful that he will play in this particular game against the Falcons in Atlanta.

1:51:32So, well, without Lamar Jackson, I got to take the Falcons the way they're playing football right now. So I'll take them. Shyshika got the Ravens. Who you got, Mr. Wilson? Man, that defense is still decent with the Ravens. But after their showing last week, it's tough, especially with them being at home. It's tough to go against the Robinson crew. I got Atlanta in this one. Yeah, we both got the Atlanta Falcons, and she went and picked the Ravens. Monday night game, the Bills played the Rams. Good. The Bills come from a bad loss at home. They took the Bisons by the horn. The Patriots did. now they got to go into LA SoFi Stadium and plate the Rams oh my god she picked the Bills yes she did she picked the Bills you got that right who you got Mr.

1:52:39Wilson

1:52:44Puka's back man I've got to go Rams with this one I know Josh Allen is a monster in his own right, a machine, be it. But, man, this is a lot to overcome. A lot of weapons in Los Angeles. I got to go Rams here. Yeah, I absolutely agree with you. I think the Rams with Pukanakua has opened that running game. We saw the effectiveness of Kyrie Williams last week, and they didn't use Blake Corum at all last week. So I think if they try to combine those two runners this week, for sure the Rams are going to come up with the victory. I'm picking the Rams to beat the Bills and get the second consecutive loss to Shy Sheikas' Buffalo Bills pick for the Super Bowl.

1:53:36You know, I'm telling you. Hey, for you, who bucked that up this week besides the Buccaneers? I would have to say the entire Pittsburgh Steelers coaching staff. When you've got players taking the headsets off of coaches so that they can yell upstairs in terms of what T.J. Watt did, and you've got a back and forth between a future Hall of Fame quarterback and Mike McCarthy telling him to speed up, get the play in faster then you know calling each other names we if you can read lips you saw what mike mccarthy was saying um i think that was he was not on the mic it was more like on the sidelines and he called him like he called out of a right he called him he called him an fna hole um yeah oh we can say a fucking asshole that's what he called him yeah that's what he called them.

1:54:36But yeah, so I think that when you're looking at an entire coaching staff and, you know, you don't expect, you expect teams from Chuck Knoll to, you know, to what is the, Bill Cower to Mike Tomlin, you know what I mean? There's always been this structure there in terms of the coaching staff and your ability to trust them in terms of making decisions and keeping the team on the same page that looks completely different from what we see from this Pittsburgh Steelers and um yeah I feel like the entire offensive and defensive coaching staff special teams they booked that up you've got players yelling at you that's not a good sign got it uh for me was AJ Wilson, I said it earlier on the show, trying to confront a fan, an elderly fan, not somebody in their 20s.

1:55:34Man, that probably was about 70. And two little steps, he took him really, really slow and looked like Frankenstein because he had no balance. And he was just pointing his finger like, Sophie, you did it. You're following you, following you, following you. And she comes out with this story that they don't have no respect for them and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You brought that up. AJ Wilson, I have to tell you that.

1:55:59I'm going to go into something that I have never told Mr. Wilson, but I call him nasty little boy. You have heard that phrase that I've called you that before, correct? Yes. Okay. So I'm going to try to keep my composure because it's a sad note. When the New York Knicks won the championship, I mentioned it, Carl Richards. Carl Richards, congratulations. You finally saw your New York Knicks winning the championship. Big time. New York Knicks fan. He was my role model when I was a young guy in college that went into early fatherhood because I had my son when I was 20 years old. And Carl became the older brother that I never had.

1:56:48and you know I my life has been you know always taking chances on so many things you know went to live in South America for eight years so even with Mr. Wilson and the voice I lost contact at that time that I decided to take my life to that side of the world and I did that same thing with all my guys from National Rx Services it was a company here in Tampa that we all worked together, and I was just a warehouse guy. And all these gentlemen were pharmacists. And Carl became that role model. I'm going to say it again. And when I will do, you know, the first time I ever played football fantasy was with that group.

1:57:36Okay? And we were doing everything on paper. we had to write the stone age yeah the stone age we had to write the stats add it up make sure everybody was okay with the add up you know somebody will make an excel sheet and say yeah that that is correct that is correct you're fine you got the the points the right way and everything else and uh when i graduated from college at that time my mother was still alive my son was about five years old, four to five years old, and I invited only one person out of my circle of family, and that was Carl Richards. That's how much he meant to me. And, wow. Woo.

1:58:31Let me get it. He passed away. So my man, Ooh. I'm going to miss you. Big time.

1:58:47And I'm always going to be your nasty little boy.

1:58:56Sorry for your loss, my brother. I can feel the emotion and how much he meant to you. I never got the pleasure to meet him. but uh sorry for your loss my brother thank you sir uh that's all I gotta say about him love you brother I know I'll get to see you again I hope it's not soon but I know I'll get to see you again and I said this so you know what it means to say that phrase nasty little boy

1:59:41sorry guys wow Chino get us out of here brother sorry I had to end on this note but I love you Carl and I'll see you whenever I got to see you okay Mr. Wilson stay a nasty little boy no matter what you already know yes sir yes sir yes sir well to all our fans keep your engines running the sports ride show is here music
