Oh, it's great to be here with you, man. Like I can't believe this is like years in the making, right? Isn't that how this is like years in the making and we're getting all fired up. This is the season, man. It's time to get fired up about a lot of things fired up and you can mean that's it's hysterical. I mean, but that's what camp is. I mean, let's let's be honest. Let's peel all the layers away. I mean, that's what camp is. Let's have some football state fair. It is and that's okay to say that there's nothing like it was funny. Spend spend was talking about how he's going out there and he's all fired up. Good. They're not wrong with that. You know, it just don't talk to me about jobs being up for grabs and stuff like that, man. Are you questioning Dan Campbell and his staff? They don't know exactly what's going on. It's funny. I got that. I thought that. No, but but Sean and as always Chumba Legion in for DMACC KG in the house. KG was really good. It was really good. We got F. And Sean Bellijian, man. And this is going to be a good show. You and him besides the Michigan bashing that's going to take place. Michigan State's a segment after and you might not like. Justin, I'll be ready, man. Keep that same energy. Jesus in the house. Jesus. What's up, man? Hey, coming off my Woodward sports and C. double a football championship last night. KG got first round out and spend Mo picked me to win shout out and D money 98 in contact with me. You won that $100 Shrookies gift card. I won that for you, baby. All right. So so well, there it is. We are locked. We are loaded. We are ready to go. And look, Sean, I'm happy you're here number one because, you know, your media icon in this town. That's number one. I know you don't think that way, but whatever I'm talking right now. All right. Number two, we got a new little Thursday bit that I want to try out here, Sean. Oh, I'm in and it's good that you're here. This is going to be a cut the shit Thursday. Yeah. All right. Yeah. The people in the chat, they say they like when I say cut the shit. So we're cutting the shit today on Thursday. How this will work? This is baseline. Very, very simple. There is one topic per segment. Cut the shit. Where are you with it? That's where we're going to go. So it's very, very easy. I got a tiger's trade deadline one for you. Cut the shit. Where are you at with it? Jameson Williams. Where are you at with it? Michigan football. It's at time. And Sean, you said it. It's the end of July is coming up. I know you've already cracked open that bill steel magazine. I'll be picking mine up before I go on vacay. It's in the air. We're going to we're going to crack the top and get ready to go on it. You got to have the magazines like I I have them strategically placed in my house. I got Phil Steels in one throne room. I got Lindy's in the other throne room and the one downstairs I have. But like Neil, to me, this is the worst time. Like right now is the worst time because you can see it, right? You can see it. You can see it. It's right there. It's only 30 days until week zero. But it takes forever. It's like, come on, let's drop it. Let's go. We're ready to go. And yeah, there's a hell of a lot of questions around here, man. But listen, with the Michigan bashing, I've said this, you have to be fair. And I've had Michigan people and maybe you're one of them. People have said to me, I hate you because you're fair. And it's like, don't hate me. I didn't do anything. Those are just kind of the facts of the matter. And right now in my mind, Neil, we'll get to that. We all got to kind of shut up and tip the cap to Michigan right now. Right. And it's the next step in the evolution, which I'll discuss with you, KG, I'm sure you will, but the Michigan State one as well. This cannot continue. Cannot continue. So we'll we'll get into all that. Certainly, we have that going on. Yeah. We got Mormon power down. Since Sean is here, we got a Red Wings one. We'll do some hockey as well. So the groundwork has been laid. We are into there, but we played the video. People in the chat talking about it. Hulk Hogan was making the rounds around Metro Detroit area. He's got a new beer line out here, bro. So he was going to the store's brother and he was talking to the people, made a stop out at Lions training camp also. Sean, look, what were sports chat there, by the way, jump into their get your thoughts out there, air into the stone. Sean and Neil together. Okay. It's official. I'm Brick. L F G. I'm excited too. I'm excited too. D's 411. The morning show went 10 minutes over. Of course I did. But D's your snitch. You're right. Get your asses out of the studio. When the show is over, get your ass ready to be here. You guys are going to make you start waking up early, getting here on time and bust schools. Yeah, literally spending less than even in the building. Yeah. All right. But anyway, though, Sean, Hulk Hogan, Dan Campbell, they're both kind of wrestling characters, right? Yeah, some degree. Yeah. Oh, and you know what? Campbell knows what he's doing. I mean, this is this was all about the culture. I cannot stress this enough. Neil, you've been around the guys have been around. This was a franchise that I can't tell you how many times I'm doing a post game show or I'm I'm in the locker, whatever the case may be. And it's the first week of November and they're done. They're done. You can see it. It's like you walk in that room and it's like you're you're at a gosh damn funeral. They're just done. He had to come in here. He had to be larger than life. Now you can't be larger than life and not have any bite. He's got a ton of bite, obviously. And he's shown that out, but he had to be a larger than life, bring the clans together. Personality. I have no problem with it. I know there are some people out there. Okay, I've kind of had it with the act. No, it's worked, man. It'd be one thing if the act didn't work. I have no problem with it. Go all w w e man, as long as the winds keep coming. Two more winds in particular. I'm all for it. James in the check. Can we expect any Neil tone today? KJ, you can answer that one. Very much so. All right. Keep in a push. I bet my life savings on it. Right. There you go. Um, it's 71 mag cat. F the Hulk Hogan, the iron cheek rest in peace. No, but Sean Bigfoot. What is it about Hulk Hogan? Why? Why is the draw still there? I think it is. He walks in a room, Sean, and it's electric. It's it's charisma. And I think a lot of it is, you know, for depending on how old you are, I mean, so many of us, I mean, he was just, he was that larger than life icon when we were kids. I mean, and it doesn't matter if you're an old dude like me. It doesn't matter if you're one of the younger. I mean, it's Hulk freaking Hogan, man. Everybody knows on you. And when you have 27 inch bythons, I mean, how many people can walk around town saying, dude, I got 27 inch bythons. I mean, he really is even, I thought that he would take a hit last week because of his thing at the RNC. And it happened for a couple of days, but everybody's back to no, it's the Hulk. And that was kind of my point, right? Because I don't do politics on the show. Never have never will. It was a bad care. He went and got the bad. I, you know, I don't care. But I thought along the same lines, I was like, this is going to hurt him somewhere. But clearly it doesn't. He's above the law. No, Hulk Hogan's above the law. No, he is. And you know what? I mean, look, he comes out to camp, the poor guy. I mean, he's he's got to know he's a bit somebody's going to ask him to do exactly what he just did. But but but he does. And he does it. Like Hulk Hogan, um, this kind of runs parallel. I watched the Beverly Hills cop movie that came out. Yeah, I'll broke right. I'm pretty sure it was just broke right. They just walked by. Oh, was it really? Yeah. Hey, shout out. But anyway, though, like I why I watched the Beverly Hills cop movie Sean, and it was one of the best sequels ever to me. Why? They embraced what they are. Exactly. They re they played the hits. Hulk Hogan's one of these guys. He plays the hit. That's all you got to do. No, that's exactly it. And you know, I mean, the the epic battles and he still has the charisma even though what's he like 70 years old? Like seriously, he's like 70 years old now. Still still, you know, still brings the energy, still brings the charisma. So yeah, Hulk Hogan comes out to camp. I'll use your line again. It's state fair. I mean, that this is the kind of stuff that you see it state fair, man. And as we have everybody's in the best shape of their life, everybody's on the same page. You're not going to get any negative news out of it. It's what people want this time of year. Just play the hit. Yep. That's all you got to do is just play the hits and get what got you there. But yeah, so I just wanted to bring that up because I thought it was funny. Spenny had the, uh, Spenny had the footage and it's great. It's great for the left. It played the hit. Yep. Let's just say it like that. Spenmo is out tomorrow. I am. I'm excited. Let me say this as a public service. And Sean, I know that, you know, you like your beer. You like your bourbon stuff like that. I don't know if you've been to Colorado before. I would assume you have. So I think you can echo this sentiment. I wanted to say this publicly to Spenny. So we can say we did our part when you go to Colorado and you get in those breweries and you get in those out. They do it differently in Colorado. Spenny, a person like you could run himself into some trouble. And I'm just, I'm concerned for your well-being. Those beers are 10, 11, 12% Sean. You have any words of wisdom for this guy? Nobody's walking into it. Just understand what Rocky Mountain oysters are. Like yeah, they're bull tests. Yeah, just as long as I think that's, that's word to the wise number one. Dude, it's a blast out there. It is. It's one of my regrets. I was offered a gig there a long time ago. I wish I would have taken it. I loved it. The coolest thing like seriously. So I'm in Denver on the 4th of July. It was just before the all-star game. It's like a hundred degrees in Denver. You get in your car, you drive like 25 minutes away. You're firing snowballs at people. Like I'm not, I'm not joking. I think it was called Estes Park or something. I mean, it's, it's just a really cool place with, you know, a diverse weather kind of thing because of the, the, the, um, you know, obviously the mountains and all that. But to Neil's point yet, dude, it hits a little harder. Yeah, they, they might do it differently in Colorado, but I'm built different. So I'm ready for it. Tokyo, Shis Bay. I know you are 20. I know this. I understand this, but I've walked in those shoes out there before. That's fair. And it took a day of adjustment. Let me just say it like that. We were. I retired early that night. I'll just say it like that. I'm excited, though. We're going up there for my brother's bachelor party. We got an Airbnb. It's this log cabin right on a lake with the mountains in the background. So you're going to tap the Rockies? I'm going to the, yeah, we're going on a hike one of the days. We're going to a hot spring one of the days. I'm excited. It should be a lot of fun. That's the hot, the hot spring. That's all the boys like 90 proof sitting in the, in the hot spring. Are you kidding me? That's a great day. Oh, yeah. So again, just be aware. That's all I'm asking. Just be aware. All right, guys, when we come back, it's time to cut the shit. It's a cut the shit Thursday. We're going to start with. We're going to start with a Tigers trade deadline.

Sean Belisian, something that probably should have happened 10 or 15 years ago in this industry. But I digress. It took Michigan's number one sports network to make it happen. But here we are, KG, a Jesus here as well. Spencer Baxter. It is time for a cut the shit Thursday. How this is going to work everybody. We're done. Shucking and jiving. We're done. You know, we're done. Well, we're done. Tiptoeing around. Call your shot as KG would say, get your shit off right now. One topic, Sean. All right. One topic where you at with it. I want it in the chat. We'll do it around the room as well. Tigers trade deadline, Sean, because I have a hard, I have a very hard line that I'm keeping on this. And the events of last night only added to it. So for me, Sean, I'm curious to know, cut the shit where you at with the Tigers trade deadline. I would love for flarity to be gone. He will be gone. I would love for school to be gone, but I don't want a package of prospects. Stop. Here's part of the problem when I say the word prospects today. When I say prospects, I'm not talking about that package of goodies that's going to be ready in two or three years. I don't consider holiday a quote, unquote prospect. I consider him a major league ready guy. And I know he struggled already, but that's the type of guy. To me, that is in any potential package with the Orioles. It's a non starter unless that guy's in the package. If you want to include a couple guys, your little dad's Cameron in your Kristen Stewart. Wait till you see what these guys look like in a couple of years, a couple of little cheeks. You want to include a couple of pieces like that, go back ahead. Oh, Sean, you know what, real quick, you got you got to include a major league ready guy. I when we got him, he was Kristen Stewart. But when he got hit, he was Kirsten Stewart. Yes. And then he went back to being Kristen Stewart when he saw. Right. I don't want Jake Rogers. I don't want, I don't want Daz. I don't want Stewart. I don't want these guys, give them a few years. I need a major league ready guy. Holiday is that major league ready guy. Okay, for me, this has become a non negotiable over the course of the last 48 hours. Yesterday, yesterday, only exemplified that. And for the people, by the way, that were the be buyers. We're in the playoff race. Oh, flarity pitch last night. You got two hits and you lost. Flirty pitched his ass off again, and you lost. And guess what today is? The bullpen day. Yeah, you have two starters right now. You got to hit yesterday, exemplified all of it. Here's the deal. I want Derek scuba traded. Now, now, because this can't continue. You were not a major league organization. When you roll out there, you're getting two hits in games. You're not. And the only pipeline you have to fix this, because what have you drafted guys that you keep telling me about? We'll see you in 2027. Okay. So what I'm offering you is this. And the reason I want it done is this, the Jackson holiday, the Mayo, you want to get up, you know, you want to haggle for a couple more prospects, go ahead and do that. But the bottom line is Sean, I'm giving you a method. We bring Joe Bob, we put him in scuba spot. Jackson holiday starts next opening day at shortstop. Mayo is your third baseman next opening day at shortstop. I don't have to see here and go back and forth with KG and say, who's going to play third? Who's going to play short? He's going to look me in the eye and say, I don't know. That's what I'm doing, Sean. It's a path. Now, and here's the deal over all of it. If you tell me you're going to go out and not spend money in free agency, you want to operate incense like the Tampa Bay Rays, then do it all the way. 100%. Don't do it half fast. If that's what you are, then do it. And doing that means that you got to flip your guys when they come up. This is the most value scuba we'll ever have. He's got three post seasons on team control. This is it. So either you're trading him or you're signing him. That's it. And I lean trade because I'm giving you two everyday starters for next opening day. I'm cutting the shit with it, Sean. I over the last 48 hours, I'm all the way in on this. Well, and that's why there are still too many to your point about yesterday, whether people want to admit it or not, I don't care. There are still too many holes in this lineup. It was cute for a couple weeks. Oh, look, they're winning games and they're scoring some runs. But honestly, water finds its level. And you've seen water find its level with this lineup. And I 100% disagree with people that are saying they're in a playoff race when they're sitting five games on the outside looking in. I 100% disagree with that for a couple of reasons. Number one, you're still a couple games under 500 at the point in time. Like let's not have a real conversation until you're at least a 500 team. Number two, think about all the teams that you have to blow past. It's not that easy. I think what the wild card has done. A lot of people have looked at the NFL, whether people want to admit it or not, the NFL has sold hope for a long time. The extra playoff team is selling hope because all the sudden it's the first week in December and you're going, we're still in it. This is great. Whereas people around here, how many times have we, I was talking about the first week of November for goodness sake. The first week in December, we're like, okay, yeah, that's cool. Let's look at mock drafts now. That extra pick has allowed a lot of fan bases to stay in. And I think the wild card has done that. I really do. The wild card and the way it's set up now with the three teams has allowed franchises to sell hope because you sit back. Well, there are only five back. Yeah, but there are five teams in front of them. Knock it off. And Sean, that's, I'm so tired of hearing that argument and I'll break that down for you now really quickly. Tiger six back to the wild card. No, they are back of one, two, three, four, five teams. Oh, by the way, the Red Sox and the Mariners who are in front of you play each other this weekend. When the Red Sox get done with that series, they play the Texas Rangers who are in front of you. The series after that, that is conceivably six games where you cannot make up ground to some degree because somebody's going to win. You got it. So you have to win your games. And oh, by the way, you have a lineup that got you two hits last night. Yeah, two hits. Oh, by the way, you have two starters and you're going to have another bullpen day today where you have to count on seven dudes that come into the game and they all have to be sharp. I don't like it, but that's the way it is. I know some people like want you to get on the blue and orange cheerleading outfit and say, yay, we're right in it. I mean, that's not the reality of the situation, especially when you look at this roster and what it is right now. And look, yes, an injury to Reese that hurts as well, but you have to add it all up and you have to think smartly and you have to think long term. And when I say long term, I don't want any more of these cute little package, the Justin Verlander package or wait, you see what this guy looks like in three or four years. You have a guy right now that could make the argument. He is the best pitcher in baseball. Certainly the best pitcher in the American League. You know, I mean, there's a guy in Pittsburgh that might want to argue that he's the best pitcher in baseball. Fine, best pitcher in the game. You're going to tell me that that isn't. Look at the Orioles. Okay. The Yankees have started to go like this. The the cashman. I still don't get it for 15 years. The guy just doesn't put a premium on pitching. The rest of the world celebrates because I know the Yankees are going to lose come play off time because he puts no premium on pitching. Are you going to tell me that couldn't put the Orioles over the top in a potential series? Are you kidding me? I make that deal, make that deal best of luck to you, Tarek. I wish things could have worked out. Unfortunately, this franchise has been so inept. We should have been ready by now. We weren't. That's not your fault. Good luck elsewhere. Well, we're sports, chat, thread, salty pork chops. If the O's only offered holiday a male, would you say no, since you're only getting two for one salty pork chops? Like, look, people need to pull their head out of their ass to some degree too with this. We're going to get four of the Orioles top 10 prospects for school. Guys, the way markets work is supply and demand. I am not interested in anything the Dodgers have. Anybody around this room interested? No, no, anything that anything the Dodgers have anything to mirror enough to want. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. So I and salty pork chops like, look, this is where I am with it. I'm getting on that line where I would say yes to holiday a male. I'm getting on that line because, look, you give me an everyday shortstop for an organization that does not have one anywhere except for a kid that just went to prom that they drafted a third baseman that they do not have any. It's time to start putting this thing together, man. And you know, you want to hag again, you want to haggle for their number 12 prospect or whatever in addition, then fine. Go ahead and knock yourself out. I have zeroed in on this. This is what I want to see happen. Jesus, you got the you got the city connect hat on. Where are you with this right now? Cut the shit. Cut the shit. Where you at? Cut it out right now. Cut the shit. Sell. I want school will gone. If we can bring in even just Mayo and holiday, I'm good with it. It's what I'm starting to get to right now. Like I'm sick of asking the question, what is the vision for this infield? Like what? What are we? I don't have no third baseman, Sean. You have no shortstop. You have no center fielder. You don't have an answer at right field. You may not have an answer at first or second. Your best prospects. Oh, by the way, too. Don't think I missed this. And Spenny, I'm sorry to do this. I love him. I love his bat. He's on a heater with the stick. But that ground ball the second yesterday. Yeah. In the bottom of the eighth inning. Yeah. For a guy who's minus 11, run and save defensively, Sean. I know you're watching the game. You're sick like I am. I know you were watching the game. I was. I'm just saying no one talked about it. Not a word about it on Twitter. None of the insiders. Nobody. Nobody does this for a living. Nobody said a word about it, Sean. I saw it. You saw it. Did that change the game? Makes me sick. You know, you know, the problem is to whether we want to admit it or not. I feel sorry for Scott Harris in this regard. Is it his fault that we've been sold so much bold? Well, shit for so long. No, not really. It's it's not his fault. But that's the reality of it because hearing you talk about what you just talked about and Justin as well. Do you know how many times we heard? This is our third baseman of the future. Do you know how many times we heard Phil in the blank? Why is in this guy patrolling centerfield at Comerica Park every day? Even when there was nothing there to deserve it. People were making arguments for certain guys. The catcher of the future has been an ongoing bit for a decade now. I mean, if you want it, we can even go longer than that to when Alex Avilla died during the 2011 season. Like it was a beautiful swing. But let's be honest. Jim Leland ran him into the ground and he died in the 2011 season. So this has been a bit for a long, long time. So I like I can hear one side saying, well, that's not Scott Harris fault. Well, you also have to read the room and know where you've been. Unfortunately, people around here have heard shortstop of the future have heard third baseman of the future have heard center fielder for the next 15 years have heard part one, two, three, and four catcher of the future. So yes, at some point in time, people are going to go, what are we doing here? Because we've been sold such an incredible bill of goods by this franchise. I think there's one thing that you guys haven't really mentioned that I think is the biggest factor of why school should be traded at the deadline. I love to read school. I would love to keep three school. Who does it? He's he's the best pitcher in the American League. He's your ace. You keep him here. That would be amazing. If this was Mr. I still running this team, I am keeping Tariq school for sure. It's not Mr. I anymore. It's little Chris. I don't have the faith that little Chris is going to spend $400 million to keep Tariq school and then spend another $150 million on a third baseman and $100 million on another bet. That's what comes up to this. If this is what you are, then be this. Yes. All you have to do if you trade school is pay for one starting pitcher. I have more faith for him to go out there and pay for Max Fried or Corbin Burns to bring him in here and be your ace than pay your ace and two bats to put a lineup together. Little Chris knocking over them garbage cans. Nick Williams. I'm so sick of schoolable trade talk to be honest. Well, Nick, this is the biggest moment in this organization's history for about a decade, Nick. Yeah. Like, let's cut the shit, Nick. If Chris Illich came out tomorrow and said, I will pay two MLB players, position players, $150 million to come be bats in this lineup, I would say keep schoolable, but I don't think he's going to do it. I really don't. It's so fascinating hearing you talk because Neil, you'll remember that was the same kind of stuff people were saying about Mike Illich for a long, long time when I got started in this business. It that was my detested. Do you remember? Do you remember? He went out and he threw at the time mad money at something called Mike Moore. Do you remember that? I remember. And we got burned hard by Mike Moore and shook him and it did. There's no doubt my money. He said, Oh, I'm not doing this again. And then his next foray into doing it was Juan Gonzalez. And he got spurned by it. So again, he pulled back is how he buys that for Chris Illich. I think so. Yeah, I do. It appears that way. I think so. It was four years later before he said, all right, I don't know what to do, so I'm going to throw mad money at Pudrod Riga's. We just all saw what Pudrod Riga's did in the 2003 fall in the entire postseason. I'm going to throw mad money at him and all of a sudden, Guillen and all of a sudden, or Donia's the next year and all of a sudden it started to come together. But to your point, and I'm glad you were one of those guys. There are a lot of people that said, Oh, Mike, you know, it doesn't care about baseball. All he cares about is the red wings.

I'm going to I almost swore and I'm not going to swear. I promised myself I was going to swear today. I I systematically deny the whole premise that the Detroit Red Wings were spending more than anybody else year in year out. That's not true. Did it happen here? Yes. Did it happen there? Yes. But there was an arms race and he was keeping up with the Joneses during that time. It wasn't like the Red Wings were at the top every year, but he did what had to be done to keep the Red Wings revelant irrelevant. That wasn't the case with the Tigers. The Tigers were the forgotten commodity during that era. Simply put. Wilward sports chat thread as we get ready to go to the break here. I cut the shit Thursdays off to a good start. There he is.

I actually had a chat with Cole Caulfield last week and he was. Yeah, there was a shout out to Cole Caulfield. What up Cole? And it was funny because he was like, is that dude going to show up?

All right, keeping a push in big D energy. Woodward sports network. Neil Raul Shaw on the Legion KG Spencer Raxter. Of course we have as well. Jesus. All of you in the Wilberts Sports Chat right Dante 151. Spenny Skuvel's agent will laugh at 400 million. He wants 500 million 800 million. He wants to get that life changing money. I think it'll be in that 400 million area. 10 years, 400 million. It'll be a variation of that. Maybe it's got to go 9 at 360, 340, 10 at 390. It'll be right around there. But yeah, so it is. It's a cut the shit Thursday. It's a new segment. And we're doing it. We're doing it now. So Sean, let's shift gears and Jamison Williams. We do have. I'm not speaking on Jamison Williams. What a great segue. Let's let's hear from on this. I mean, he's been. I don't know if you guys saw earlier. I mean, first we played touchdown. So we all know he's fast, but I mean, he's just I feel like for me being around him for this is my third year now. He's um, he just looks more comfortable. He looks like he's done this before. He looks like he knows what to expect. He's not, you know, he's not that young rookie guy no more. He's been here for a few years. So every year he just gets more comfortable and I know I've been saying this, you know, every year, but I think I mean, he's gotten better every year, obviously, but this I think this year is going to be huge for him. I actually know it is and I can't wait. That was Amunra Saint Brown discussing Jamison Williams. Real quick, forward sports chat for Matthew Kruger. Is it just me or is a Wilbur crew more scared than stoked on the Tigers? He said that in the morning show too. Uh, no, Matthew, I'm giving you the path as to what their quote unquote identity is according to them. But uh, can you define scared? What is what is scared? I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. Just just to find scared for me. You know what I'm scared of? I'm scared of you people telling me that that the things down in single layer are going to be the savior of this franchise. I mean, that's the way that we've lived for a decade now. Like, stop it. Sean, we have an obsession here with the five leg rookie parlay. It's amazing to me. FanDua was built. It was on five leg parlay. It's like, whether we want it, that's what I'm scared of. I'm scared that unfortunately, people didn't learn their lesson from 2016 to 2023. That's what I'm scared of. So yeah, I, yes, I want a majorly gritty guy. Sorry. All right. Sean Belisian, Jamison Williams, cut the shit. Where are you at? He's going to have a good year. I think people are ready to put him on a pedestal. I defer all the time to my buddy, Matt Shepherd. And I always promise him I'd give him credit for this quote. Okay. The word great is used way too much. It is. It's used way too much. And, and part of this, Neil, we were talking before the show, we in this town have a tendency to put a lot of guys on a pedestal that they don't belong. Okay. This is a guy that, could he have a great year? Yes, he could. I believe that. I think with what's around him and the way they can use him for the team, I expect a good year. I've seen people saying he's going to blow up. I've seen people say he's going to blow up the other way. I think this is an NFL caliber guy that is that is an obviously a weapon. When you put the ball in his hands, things happen. But in usage with this offense, I don't think, Neil, that the the pathway is there for him to have bombastic crazy numbers. And that's okay. Like that's okay. If he's just a good player, when you're talking about having Aman Ra here, when you're talking about having arguably a top three tight end in the game, top two in my humble opinion, that's okay. If he's just good, it's fine. And there's nothing wrong with that. And it just makes this team more dangerous. You said the magic word, Sean. And this is something that I try to talk to a lot of people about that I feel in this Madden video game world that we live in now, usage, opportunity, targets, those things for the crowd. And look, I'm I'm a Jmo Sim. I think he is special. I think he is gifted. When he gets the football in his hands, he's different. I know what I see. I know what I see. You've been around again. You call college football. You've been around the game. What he does with the football in his hand is different than most. And the speed he has you guys know, you guys know the talking points. Okay. But the more the story is this, there is a there is a cult like base in this town. Some of who some of them who are on the morning show that's filling on this show sometimes it might be filling in for this show tomorrow that want to base it on linear linear stats. I'm not I didn't say I didn't drop any names that want to base it on linear stats with no contact with no nuance to it. Sean, when when you start swimming in those waters of this football team and where they are and this happens every year, like there's a rhythm to the seasons here at Woodward with with the sports fans in Detroit baseball, the four leg rookie parlay. This year's going to hit. Oh, this year we're going to get right. This is the year. This is the year the four leg rookie parlay is going to hit. Then we shift into training camp with the lions. And then I'm in Ross going to have 1,500 yards. Who else are we going to have on? I'm Ross going to have 1,500 yards. Jamo's going to have 1,000. Jamo's going to have 1,000. La Porte is going to have 1,200. Don't forget about Gibbs. Jamier Gibbs is going to have a 30,000 yards for 6,000 yards. When you start, when you start adding these things up, Jerry golf is going to look like Tony Graziani in the arena league. And he's going to he's going to throw for 9,000 yards on the season. Like it's just not physically possible. The deal with Jamo is this. And this is something nobody in this town ever talks about. This is my main argument when I talk with somebody who's on the morning show here who fills in on this show sometimes that is, you know, an anti. There you go. He impacts winning in a league in a league, Sean, in a league where four plays dictate every single game every single week. This NFL, the national football league, and I don't care who you're if you're talking about the Panthers all the way up to the Chiefs. When the Panthers play the Chiefs, for the most part, there's four to five plays in that game that dictate the outcome of that game. Big play. Players make plays. It's a playmaker's lead. And Jamison Williams is probably the biggest playmaker on this team, John. I think sometimes and that young man whose name shall not be mentioned in rhymes with, uh, Mantle. Um, I think sometimes what people do is they don't take into account the fact that you have to account for a guy and how that can change the game plan. And you don't necessarily have to target that guy eight, 10 times a day. I will tell anybody that that will listen and Neil, you're old enough to remember this. There was a guy by the name of Dion Sanders. Yeah, that same Dion Sanders that coaches at Colorado. What Dion Sanders did to a football game? You can't put a price tag on it. And you know what? It didn't always show up. It didn't always show up in the stat line linearly. Yes, because you know what it did? Okay. Half the field's gone. Right? We're not so we're we have to go do our business over there. So you would look at the at the numbers. And I remember one year, I think Kevin Smith like had like six or seven interceptions and Dion only had two. Well, why is that? Said and throw any anywhere near Dion. Bam. So when when you when you immerse yourselves in statology, sometimes the numbers sometimes, not always, sometimes the numbers don't tell the true story. Wow. Larry Brown won an MVP in the Super Bowl guys. Larry Brown was not good. Larry Brown won an MVP in the Super Bowl because Neil O'Donnell wouldn't throw to the other side of the field. And he threw a couple of ducks to this guy and in yet two picks. And I that's the way that I look at what Jmo can potentially do to this team. It may not show in the stat line. Now, do I expect far greater stats? Yes, I said as much. But I don't know if somebody's going to say, wow, that's a great year. Well, if you look at the numbers, not necessarily, but if that's one more thing that you have to account for on the field, then he's doing his job. The thing that gets me bricked up about him is just going back to it. In a league built on playmakers, we have one. Yep. A dynamic playmaker. And I get this way, and maybe I'm wrong. When he gets the football, I move position in my chair. And there are there are but five dudes in the NFL that are like, yep, yep, he's special on them. Neil, I'm going to cut the shit here. I'm going to cut the shit with Jameson. I am all in on the Detroit is this year, winning the Super Bowl. I think it is unanimous that this is going to be a top five offense in the NFL this year. I've been saying all year all off season since last year, if Jameson Williams figures it out, if he becomes that guy in this offense, it goes from a top five offense this year to a top five offense historically in the NFL. And I think that's what we're going to get. I think Jameson Williams is going to be that guy. I got him over a thousand yards this year. I really do. I really believe it. I see him connecting. I hear the way these coaches are talking about it. You saw Amindra St. Brown light up couldn't even pull the smile back when he's talking. These coaches are the same ones that said Jameson Williams might not ever have those all world hands. They don't just fluff guys to fluff guys. They tell you what they think, what they see, what they feel. And that's what I expect out of Jameson Williams. I really think he's going to be that guy. He's six. Love it, man. That's it. That is it. All right. Let's take the break. KG, Jesus settle in. No, I have some question. No, I don't say don't say we just put a Michigan segment. No, don't do that. No, when we come back, we're going to cut the lock in Michigan football style.

You cut the shit on it. Where are you at? And that's what we're doing here right now. Woodward sports chat thread here on Mark M. See, I have respect for a guy like here on Mark M. I would have traded Jamo for a third rounder a year ago, but I am a convert now. Jamo Jet Sweep is my favorite play in football. I love it. It's outstanding. It's fun to watch. And I'm so tired of the jet sweep. I really am. I'm so sorry for him. Except for him. I mean, how many times have you seen somebody roll with the jet sweep? And you're like, Oh, cool. This is yeah. All right. This is great. And yet with him, it's it's it's exactly like the wild cat. Like somebody rolls out with the wild cat and I'm like, where's Ronnie Brown? That's so 12 years ago. I'm kind of getting that way with the jet sweep right now, except when the ball is in his hand. There's another level of excitement there, man. It's real. He did it in the NFC championship game against probably the most athletic heart is hitting defense in the league and cut through him like a hot knife for butter. Like he had linebackers grasping at his ankles because he was just burning. See, I think to your point, Spinny, guys like you and I are so sick of seeing Mark Dantonio do it. I mean, really, that's the way it got late. Antonio. It was like, you're not doing this again. Are you everybody knows it's coming? And when you got a guy of that caliber with that much explosiveness, it's almost like you're putting the fingers up going, yeah, it's coming. Yeah, you know what it's coming. Stop it. And that's pretty cool, man. No, it is. It is my favorite play in football. All right. Cut the shit Thursday, just a fan, the U of M slander about to begin. All right, some ground rules. Let the tone begin. Some ground rules here. Oh, we're getting ground rules. This is going to be this is going to be I am asking questions. I want a clean fair fight. I'm asking questions. I want a clean fair fight. There's no slander. Okay. There's no slander. Even Sean Beligian can tip his cap and say Michigan is on top. You can't say it without the caveat at hand. When have I not said they are the national champion. I watch them get the trophy. Stop. When have I not said that? Stop right there. When have I not said that? Sean Beligia stops right where you just stopped. Right. But go ahead and continue. Now, was their quarterback recruited? Yes, he was. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. You are mad because you all finally did what I've been saying you should do since I worked with this guy at another station. You about eight years ago, self serving. When are you going to stop sending a mouse into the snake pit and send your own snake? That was a self serving opinion. If Michigan had a lost out of Alabama, you would have came here and torched a asset. For sure. Yeah, for sure. Because you hate Michigan. Okay. All right. See, you I'm getting back on the rails. Me and Beligia can have a good clean talk about Michigan. All right, Sean, Michigan football. Cut the shit where you are with them this year. Good team. Like I think if you're if you're expecting to follow up with what's happened the last few years, I think you have what could be an elite defense. I think there certainly are questions most importantly with your quarterback and with this conference changing, be careful what you wish for because the the the slander towards Ohio State the last kind of few years is kind of funny. Let's be honest. It's not like they fell off the map. Let's let's be honest. It's still Ohio State and Oregon's a flipping wagon, man. And if you don't believe me, you're going to find out in about three months. Oregon is a wagon. So nine win team, maybe 10 win team. But I don't think they're getting back to the playoffs. No. And they will be to me, they'll be in the play. Definitely in the play. I don't think so. I don't because if there's any whatever the line of delineation and look, we're all going into this kind of blind right now. Like we think we know, but we don't know what whatever the cut off is. If it's a three loss team, they're getting in because that's the way it works for Michigan. And it's a big 10. And it's a big 10. And they were the hardest schedules in the country. Big 10. It's hard for them. No doubt. Like that's one of the hardest schedules they've had in a long time. Oh, yeah, for sure. For a long time. But with all that being said, okay, um, K AMG King Neil cried when Bama lost to Michigan. He loves to hate on them. I hate Michigan openly. You have a reason, though. Neil doesn't. Oakland basketball. Okay. So here we go. Well, hey, last time Michigan came to the arena, they took that slug. Absolutely. I give you that all all the way. All right. But anyway, though, I love Oakland. Here's where I am with it. Okay. And Sean, what you said, they're, they're a borderline playoff team. I think they'll probably end up in. You think they'll probably end up somewhere in the middle. There's a common ground there. Yeah, borderline playoff team. I say probably you say probably not. Okay, fair. So we're not that far apart. The deal with them for me is this is and it's fine. They won the national championship last year. They did 100%. So you elevate, right? You elevate and you won the national championship. The whole the whole leaders invest the whole the best program in the history of college football. But Sean, I'm sorry. Yes, you got one. But to be at that level, I am going to need more. And that's and that's how this works. This isn't moving the goal post. So don't clutch your pearls, Michigan fans. This isn't moving the goal post. I'm listening. This is the next step in the evolution. If you pop up and get one and then you're just another team the rest of the time, you're Auburn. You're Auburn from the mid 2000s, where you popped up one time. You had a good player. You want a chip and then you just kind of fade it off into mediocrity the rest of the time. That's that's what's on the line for Michigan now. Now, does this year dictate it? No, but the next couple years do. And if you and if you go back to being a nine wind team, a 10 wind team that gets into playoff and maybe you win a playoff game because you get that home game and then maybe you get cooked the next round, then that's what you are. You're Auburn to me. There's levels to this in college football. And that's fair. KG, I don't care what you guys say. No, listen, listen, listen, for once we agree. I absolutely agree with that statement. You are absolutely right. But Cheryl Moore, I have full confidence that he can get this program back where it needs to be. It's not going to show right away. But for people that think that is just going to be a steep fall off, you got another thing coming, man. We got Wayne Martindale, defensive court. That's fine. Like you can get granular about it, but Sean, my point of it is this. If what you say happens and they don't make the playoff, to me, if your leader's invested, that's unacceptable. Yeah, that's unacceptable. But I don't think it is to you. Can I say this, though, you also have to remember who are they losing to? If we sit back and say, let's say they lose to Texas, Texas, Ohio State and Oregon. Let's go with those three. Okay. All three of them will be in the playoff. And that's what I worry about, especially Texas. Texas is the one team that I worry about because if you're sitting there, all things are considered equal, and you have that committee, the fraudulent committee, I might add, sitting in a room, you have two traditional blue blood, one from the SEC, one from the big 10, having a conversation about who's in three lost Texas or three lost Michigan. They're going to put Texas in. Yeah. And that's my concern for Michigan. If we can all agree, three losses isn't a disastrous season under this new umbrella. And it's going to take some getting used to. Okay. The one thing for me, I don't know about you guys is, you know, you see things pop up on ESPN or you read the magazines like I do. And I'm reading the magazines. I'm like, on, wait a second, wasn't Justin just at Colorado last year. Now he's at Arizona State. It's almost like our brains have to be rewired because there's so much turnover. And that's one thing we have to take into consideration. I don't think people are playing chess when they just throw out that that blanket statement. I think this team's going to be a playoff. Okay. Well, then let's, let's dig a little deeper. If we can all sit here in a green, it sounds like we Oregon, Texas, maybe Ohio State. Well, then what happens when they're having that debate about number 12? It could be, I'm not saying you're wrong. It could be in Michigan's favor. Maybe Texas is only a two lost team. Maybe Oregon's a one lost team automatically. And same thing with Ohio State, whatever the case may be. But that's what I worry about with a team like Michigan in this position when you're talking about the three losses because yes, three losses will get teams in, make no mistake about that. It's going to get there. Who did you lose to? And are they one of those teams on the French? And that's the great unknown right now. I think I can I cut the shit? Yeah, go ahead real quick. Real quick, Texas, Oregon, Ohio State, calling my shot all will be top five teams going into the playoff in terms of the rankings. They might not have that by because that's the vision winners. But Ohio State will be very good. They are one of the most talented rosters in the country and Michigan fans need to realize that I know we have dominated them the last three years. And Ryan Day has not had the hard players and they've been soft and they have been able to deal with the Michigan on the line of scrimmage. But they have way up some more talented roster than us this year. When last year, you could argue Michigan's talent was at the same level. That matters. And the dominance could have a turnover because also this that was a Jim Harbaugh led team and Toronto more. Yeah, coaching the game, but not the entire week leading up to the game. Just show more still has stuff to prove as the head coach of Michigan. Young Justin, I'm very proud of you right now because that has become one of my and I made reference to it and you did a better job of explaining it to me. The slander towards Ohio State who by far and away was the class of this conference for 20 years for two decades. Let's let's be honest for two by far and away. It wasn't close. Okay. Including winning multiple national championships. I might add the slander and they're soft and they're just going to disappear. Take that someplace else, man. That's not living in reality. You get your flowers. You get your tip of the cap for what you done the last three years. There's no doubt about that. But it's not like Ohio State has fallen off. If their bad moments are two lost seasons, man, that's still a hell of a lot better than anybody in this conference has been able to say in a long time. And that's their bad moments. If you want to say they're not elite, we can have that conversation much to your point. If you want to say that Ohio State doesn't belong in that rarefied air that Michigan wants to make a claim for, yes, we can have that conversation. But we're still talking the big 10 guys. Okay. If true losses is your down period, that's still infinitely better than other programs around here. And that's a that's my worry heading into this season because I agree with you in in in all my pre-season research. I think this Ohio State team's going to be a wagon. I really I think Ohio State and Oregon's going to be a hell of a lot of fun this year. And you spoke at the last 20 years, Michigan has and Michigan has had a losing season in the last 10 years. And people forget about that Ohio State's worst season is two losses. Like you have to respect, you have to give them the respect that they deserve. It's not just going to be people forget they were a missed field goal away from a national title. Exactly. Miss field goal away from the national story. They ran TCU in that title game just like Georgia did. I know they were just as talented just as dynamic. You mean they're quarterback wouldn't have thrown two pick sixes in the game? Probably not. All right. Let's let's do this. Let's take I did that for you. Sean, here's a gas. Here's a gas. Also, that's below the bell. I was at that game. All right, let's let's do this.

All right, keeping a push in big D energy, our number two of the show Neil Royal Chambalisian in 4D Mac. I can't believe that was an hour already. But it was. We got KG, Jesus, Spencer Rax are all of you in the World Works Sports chat thread as well jump into that subscribe to the YouTube channel and get in there. Okay, Neil, can I publicly, I want to publicly acknowledge Young Justin. Okay, or what do you, Jesus? Okay, yeah. You are not a Michigan fan, but like what I just heard out of you and I'm serious, okay? I have heard like the way that people carry on about Ryan Day in Ohio State, like I have to go back and look at the record books and make sure there isn't a three in 10 season mix in there or some crap like that. Like the slander thrown Ohio State's way and I get it rivalry. All that stuff. But the slander thrown towards Ryan Day in Ohio State the last few years is really kind of been strange to me. And I guess it's easy to do that when you're on top. I'm sorry. Maybe I'm wrong. And if I'm wrong, you can all yell at me. All right. That is still, that is still a program that should be envied. Like seriously, what they've done. And if you want to play the the Harbaugh third base card, you can play that until he wins it all. I'm not saying that that's wrong. But these maniacs around town that think that like the Ohio people, KG, the the Ohio State threat is gone. You're out your mind. And like I haven't heard from you yet. Yeah. So I'm interested to hear what you have to say as well. But it's really refreshing to hear you say that because I'm not the people that I talk to. Like that's just that's been a non conversation because we're going to get in a fight every time we see each other. Oh, Ohio State's done. What? What are you talking about? Yeah, I'm just trying to keep it real because I do know Michigan football. I watch every game and I can believe and tell you we were a couple plays away from losing to Ohio State last year. Like if McCord doesn't make that interception in the first drive of the game, the game is completely different. Like that was a big house initiated mistake. And people are saying, I see in chat, oh, well, they just have some Kansas State transfer at quarterback this year. You have to realize Will Howard beat that TCU team. Who's Michigan's quarterback this year? Alex Orgy, someone who's never played a true collegiate snap as a starting quarterback. But Ohio State has a big 12 championship winning quarterback who outdoled max dog in who beat Michigan in that playoff game. Like he has a little bit of pedigree to him. Like he, they have a more locked up quarterback situation than Michigan has straight up. Yeah. KG and offense on the entire on the board because they have a more intact offensive line. They have more intact skill position players. They're bringing back a mecca frickin abuca. Right. Who the hell other than Donovan Edwards? Can you name on this office or also adding Jeremiah Smith? Like they have dogs and people have to realize that. And then your point on Oregon, they have, they just brought in Taz Jackson or place Troy Franklin who was arguably one of the best receivers in the country. I think they're the only team in the nation that can be Georgia this year. I'm serious. I, I think, I think Georgia's just going to run away and hide everybody new. And again, still, sir, they didn't get a plan. This is not directed at you. I hope you know this. Nah, I know that. If there was a year to get Georgia, it was last year. Yeah. Everybody. Everybody. So that's not taking anything away from Michigan. I know people are going to go Oh, it's a barricade. No, no, no, Michigan's a national champion. There. I'm going to keep tipping my cap just to just to give you the love that you deserve. But everybody knew that last year was was going to be a little less version of Georgia's sick. They are like what really is one game in three years. What been in the play? What what Kirby's done? And and I think this year is going to be different. Um, I think that they're going to be back on top. But honestly, if there was one team in the nation that I think could give them a goal, I think it's Oregon. I really do. All right. KG. Yeah. It's my point about Michigan. Fair. Absolutely. It's fair to you. Absolutely. Okay. Can I read some? Can I read some comments here? Yeah. James Canella. I don't need Michigan to win a national championship this season. I'm still high from last year. They have a winning record. I'll be happy. Oh God. By being by the boom, Neil, no matter what they do, you'll always need more because you hate Michigan football, which is not the case. If you are going to be the Georgia's, the Alabama's, you got to retool. You got to be back in the mix. You don't get to pop up every 30 years and win a chip and say you're the leaders and bet you don't. And guys, as you, as we progress through this, yes, things change. You won your national championship. If you don't do it again for another 30 years, you're all in time, you're Auburn. I agree. That's what you are. That's not me hating. That is what you are. So Sean, like forgive me to where if I want to hear about how you're a national powerhouse, I got to see more. Is that unfair? No. And you know what? In my, my boy, Ryan or money, Ryan or money have gone back and I have gone back and forth on this. I always used to do the whole leaders and best bet with him. But this reminds me of the conversation. Granted, it's next level. Okay. Because again, one multiple big 10 championships, one a natty tip of the cap. Here it comes again. But for the span of about 15 years, okay? People were talking about Michigan being something they weren't. They couldn't even win, find a way to win a less than big 10 conference. And so Ryan got really mad at me one day. We were having a conversation. I said, you guys have turned into an also ran in your own conference. Where's this? Where's this boisterous stuff come from? He was furious. Like, I mean, Ryan blew up at me and I was like, Ryan, I'm not even trying to flame you right now. What part of that is false? You've been in also ran. You've mixed in non bowl seasons. You've mixed in golly gee, we came close, but we finished in our own, third in our own division. And I think that's what Neil, that's the issue that that I have, a lot of the fan base, not everybody, because it sounds like we got two guys in here that are seeing things the way they are. I think a lot of people want to put Michigan on a pedestal that they don't belong. And if you want to be on the pedestal that Neil's talking about, you can't mess around. You can't. You got a bad two of them in six years, three of them in seven years, like Alabama, like Georgia seriously be in the mix. At least, you know, here we are in the final four again, because I'm never going to begrudge a final four. I'm sorry. I'm just, it's not going to happen. I think it's stupid when people try to do it to is or anybody else with that. It's a final four, man, like knock it off. So if Michigan does something like that, then yeah, we do have to talk about Michigan. Okay, Michigan's back, man, they're one of the elite blue bloods. But until that happens, I think you're going to have people wondering that just like Neil did. The best way to make somebody like Neil shut up, the next two years make two runs. Then, then two years from now, I know Neil not well enough. Neil's going to go. Yeah, they did it. You did a Rick Ross. You showed us. You did it. Show us. I need to tap in because I can't keep having Twitter's fingers in chat, because I'm getting came out right now, Paul. Hey, the best use of that word, but real quick, Kenneth Matthews, Neil, Neil's a bomb. All right, go ahead. All right. Shorom Moore is not Jim Harbaugh. Thank you. You cannot put them in the same sentence on the same pedestal. You have a false pedestal for Shorom Moore right now. Yes, he did coach that Ohio State game, but that's still all the Jim Harbaugh's players that is Jim Harbaugh's scheme. He coached the entire week leading up to it. That was Jim Harbaugh's mentality, his mantras, but it is going to be different. It's going to be Shorom Moore's team. He is going to keep some elements of Harbaugh, but this is going to be his program now. You don't know. We also don't know if a freshman quarterback who hasn't even shown any signs that he can be a collegiate level passer, that he can go into Ohio State and win. Like, I'm sorry, Ryan Day is above Shorom Moore in a coaching power ranking, and I don't care if you say that stupid, Ryan Day was a field goal away from a national title. He's won a play. He's won a playoff game, right? No, no, no, no. I'll play for a national title under under his watch. They have won a couple. All over sports chat, through a day run, Neil Rule should not be allowed on the air with some of the opinions he has. I don't understand. Okay. Hold on. Hold on. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. There's more. Answer 14. This idea that Michigan can't have a long dynasty like Ohio State is typical Wilward sports hate. Neil is a hater and his his words are spoken with a fork tongue. He's a fellow hater on the mic with him now. And again, it goes back to guys are so soft. Your national champions stop being so soft. What is wrong with you? Stop the victim mentality. You are national champions. It's not all booze. Me. Why aren't they sucking my dick? Like being a national champions. I don't understand it. It goes to this. Jawwall says the difference is Michigan wasn't going to do the things the SEC have been doing for so long now that they have everyone cries. All right, Jawwall. I don't. I celebrate it. I celebrate it because I was right. And that's all you really want it, but what's I write? I celebrate it because yes, Neil, damn. Why does that hurt to say? It doesn't, man, but I sounds like it does. I know your you have time. I know your actual motives when you say that, man, you ultimately just wanted to be right with your take, but I would you were right. I will give you this. Well, what? No, no, and no, and you can't say the move back was recruited illegally. No, listen, listen, I know we go back and forth with that. That's fine, man. But I do agree with your take that they can't be another armor. So of course, in the next few years leading up, they need to retool. They need to be able to get this thing going. I just believe in the long term vision of what they got. I believe it's your own more. Okay. Okay. There it is. And Sean, you're it is right now. What my cut the shit I'm Michigan. Cut the shit. Yeah. It's not it wasn't Michigan. It's Harbaugh. And Harbaugh walked out the door. Yeah. And I don't think Michigan from a departmental perspective is in a position to keep this thing rolling. You want me to break it down for you? That's because I have I had faith in Jim Harbaugh, and you guys cannot lie. Yeah. Jim Harbaugh is an elite football coach elite. So much, Sean, that he he tried to play the Michigan card. He tried to do the Michigan man integrity thing, and it wasn't working. And so he had to get in the weeds too. And he did and he was masterful at it. Masterful got you your quarterback that you won with. He did. All with a cheeseburger. I when he left, when he left, I believe that the music died when he left. Now we'll have to see. We'll have to see that. That remains to be seen because you know what, a lot of people, the urban Meyer to Ryan Day. And I think for a couple of years, people thought, Oh, this Ryan Day is dangerous. And then Michigan got dangerous. And this talks back to the slander that we were just talking. It's like, it'd be one thing if they fell off the map. If they pulled an Auburn, okay, where Auburn goes and wins a nanny and then they're mixing in six and seven and seven, six and eight and five. Well, that's not what happened. So right now, the only way that you're going to be able to tell Neil he's wrong in this state, if you're going to be logical about it, if more rolls off a couple of nine and three, 10 and two, God forbid 11 and one seasons and gets himself in the playoff, then we can all sit back and go, that didn't fall off. Michigan is as relevant now as they were then. And I think that's what kept Ryan Day up in the conversation. Let's not forget you go back to 2020. This was looking much different. A lot of people were saying, okay, this is never going to work for Jim Harbaugh at Michigan. Whether you guys want to admit it or not, a lot of you were saying it's time to move on. And Neil, my quote from day one, I said it on the radio. I said it on television. To me, it was not a question of if Jim Harbaugh finds a way, it's when he finds a way. Now, it took longer than any of us thought it really did because he was stubborn and it almost got to the point where I was like, well, I don't think it's going to work here. Okay. But really, when you go back to 2015, it was okay. Eventually, he's going to win the big 10 because whether you guys wanted to admit it or not, and I had this argument with so many of you over the years that may be victimized stomach, it has to start with winning your conference. Under the previous way, it did. If you want to grab one of the exceptions, there's a reason why they were exceptions to the rule. Well, now with a 12 team playoff, it doesn't necessarily have to start with winning your conference. But back then, hell yeah, you had to win your conference and you were incapable of doing it. And that's something that you watch Dantonio do, that you watch Urban Meyer and Ryan Day do, and it drove you nuts. But now today, you can sit back and laugh at everybody. Like, you guys as Michigan fans, I don't blame y'all. Sit back and laugh at everybody. This goes back to what Spenny said. You know what you do? You go, hey, that's cool, bro. Yeah. How's that ring? Yeah. How's that? How's that ring? Anytime anybody brings anything up, I would just say, hey, suck my dick with the national champions. Like, I don't understand why you guys aren't doing that. Like, no, don't say that about us. But no, you won the national championship. Keep pushing that in people's face. The kiss I never anytime anybody in the in the comments says kiss the ring. I can't say anything about it. Because you got to shut up. Yeah. C K in the chat. Oh, now it's Harbaugh. Neil, you hated the guy for years. When did I hate Harbaugh, K G? I don't think you hated Harbaugh. Neil is been on the mic consistently saying Jim Harbaugh is one of the best football coaches in the world. Okay. I'm starting to think that you don't even like dislike Michigan. I think you just despise the fan base. No, no, I just expect more than you guys. You despise the fan base. No, I just expect more than every Michigan fan is built the same. I call the mediocre for years flip-flopping Neil. Okay. So let me let me wrap it up with this. You've heard of Pizza Hut $7 deal lovers menu, right? All these delicious items for only $7 each when you buy two or more. But something's off.

We're going to get it by law. 80+ turns a condition to apply. See, website for details. All right, CK, KG, all of you. So if Churamor is Ryan Day, you'll hate it, right? If he's Ryan Day in terms of success, you'll hate it, right? Why would I hate that? Why are you flip-flopping? Why am I flip-flopping? Because Ryan Day's a bad coach. Ryan Day's soft. His teams are soft. So if Churamor is Ryan Day, you're cool with it. I've never said the only thing that I've said negative about Ryan Day in flip-flopping. I don't think he could get it done in the big one. How about big? How about the big one? So you're cool with that, then. Churamor is Ryan Day. If they have the exact same, exact same arc, exact same coach. Oh, we're talking the exact same arc, but he would have to get it done in the post-season. So by that metric, no, Ryan Day does have a playoff win, by the way, child chase family for the staff for me. Yeah, he won in 2019. Who did that? That was the, yeah, maybe Clemson. I can't remember. Was that the first year of the play? They lost the band in the title game. That was the first year of the play. That is right. That is right. They did. Maybe Clemson. I want a first year to play off. Yeah. Okay. So that's it, then. So CKL, I'll ask you in the chat, too. So if Churamor is Ryan Day, you're cool with it. No. So you're asking for more? Yes. But when I do it, I'm a dick. Because you have this tone about it. Oh, a tone. Yes, because you don't like the fan base. That's fine. My money line. No, I bet all my life savings on the toast. And I just cash it. 2019 was Clemson over Alabama. So now I got it. 2019 is LSU beat Alabama in the championship or Alabama beat club. I'm sorry. LSU beat Clemson in the championship game. So Ryan Day does it. 2019. But anyway, Ohio State lost a Clemson. Whether or not he does or does it in the Fiesta. That's what Churamor does. That's good enough for you. He's been a good coach, but he can't get it done when it matters. So no, that wouldn't be good enough for me. 2018. Yeah, and then and then Clemson Clemson lost to that LSU juggernaut. Yeah. It's a 2018 maybe they're thinking. Alabama over Georgia. That was the OT game. Yeah, I don't remember. You might not then. Ohio State play or Ryan Day coached Ohio State team being a mission championship. Yeah. Okay. Chad two, one, six. No, Neil does expect more from Michigan because he believes the he believes in the program more than Michigan fans. And that is true. I mean, you can get granular about this, man. You can get granular about leadership that I don't I don't buy on and you guys don't either. So, you know, we've been in agreement on that. All right, we blew past that break. Spenny, it's your turn when we come back. Oh, great. It's your turn. It's it's your time to cut the ship where you out with Michigan Statefoot. I'll cut the ship. All right. Let's do it.

And then they got curb stomped by Ohio, or by Alabama. Mac Jones. Yeah, they got curb-stomped. Oh, yeah. Listen, guys, Neil, sorry to continue that. I'm picking up exactly what you were dropping. If Sharon Moore is merely Ryan Day, that's okay. It's all right. You know, of course, you want to mix in a naddy, but going to multiple play-ups, playing for a national championship for all the soft- But did you see the chat? Did you see the chat? Dude? No, no, no, no. KG said no. No, no, no. Like, so then like, you guys are with me. You can. What you are. Yes, I was about to say you can't have it both ways. But yes, I'm with you. You wouldn't be happy with multiple big tens and multiple play-ups and go and play for a naddy? That we would have to eventually get over that hump. Oh, that is fine. But I can't. I think it keeps you in the rarefied air, though. If you have the kind of run that Ryan Day did his first few years, where you set your watch with, they were in the big tent, okay? They were going to the playoff, and the one time they played for a naddy, okay? Guess what? If that's the trajectory of Moore his first three or four years, then guess what? Michigan remains in that rarefied air. I guess. I think that answers Neil's question. In my mind, that answers Neil's question. That's the same trajectory that Harbaugh had his first few years. He was winning games, but he couldn't get the big tent championship. He couldn't get the big tent, and obviously couldn't get in the playoff. So yeah, I'm with you. Now we need to see more officially. All right, Spenny, what do you want to do because we cooked the break? Yeah. Do you want to sneak the break in real quick and get into it? Or do you want to do? Is this what Mike G says? MSU football segment was spending. This will be a brisk two minutes. I mean, there's real what am I supposed to say? I expect seven wins out of this MSU football team next year. Six. They've got they've got some good transfers. Obviously, Aidan Childs is a good one. They've got Tanner Miller also coming from Oregon State. He's all packed or all big 12 offensive linemen. The guys that. Can I ask a question about Aidan Childs real quick? Yeah. Like based on what? Based on who he was as a prospect and what we've seen when he was thrown into games. Obviously, they ran with you along the Lele because he was the guy they brought in to be the dude. But looking at him on his tape in high school, what he did in high school, what he did when he was gotten in the game. But we just can't expect high school prospects to translate now. Like that's what college is. This is kind of Tiger's opening day right now. Yeah, I expect a good high school quarterback to be a good college quarterback. I don't think that's asking too much. Okay. And then you got a guy in K-Ron Lynch Adams who was a fantastic running back for UMass last year. He had over 1100 yards and 12 touchdowns to go in the backfield with Nate Carter. I think that'll take a big role off of what they need out of Aidan Childs in the passive game. Because you got a real nasty two-headed rushing attack with those two guys. And what was his name? I'm looking for it right now. The linebacker, Jordan Turner, the linebacker from Wisconsin, I think he's also going to be a big addition to the defense. I'm terrified of the offensive line as a Spartan fan. Yeah. I am. And I think that has been part and parcel with a lot of the success that they've had in the past decade, especially under Mark Dantonio as they had that offensive line. When you were putting dudes in the first round and second round of the draft. Yeah. And to to Spenny's point though, okay, guys, I'm serious and I know somebody's going to probably say Spenny's being a slapstick and oh, Belizean, wow, shocker, you're being a Spartan slapstick. You guys look at their schedule. Yeah. Seriously, take the time to look at their schedule. I'm not saying that they're all that. I'm not saying that they're going to surprise. Jonathan Smith's biggest job with this team is to undo all the crap of the past year off and on the field. Okay. That's his biggest job this year, but I will take it a step further. Okay. And I'm not going to waste all your time looking at their schedule. If they can't win six games and become bull eligible, that's unacceptable. It is unacceptable. Like, I'm sorry. It is with this schedule, especially. You got four wins baked in to start it off. You got Florida Atlantic, Maryland, Prairie View, A&M and Boston College. Then you got back to back ass whoopings. You're going to get absolutely plastered by Ohio State and Oregon. Then you got Iowa. Don't know what's going on with Iowa this year. We'll see. Michigan. I expect the loss from Michigan. I expect then you have Indiana, Illinois Purdue Rutgers. If you can't win two of those games, you're telling me you can't win two of those games. And seriously, that's where I'm at. I'm not even calling all the first four all wins. Like, I'm, would it shock you if they went to Chestnut Hill and ended up losing to BC? Wouldn't shock me? Not really, no. Because there are a lot of these number dogs in that game. They would be absolutely beautiful. BC's quarterback is very good. Absolutely. So, so that's a spending. It's funny. It's funny that you break it down. And maybe that's a difference between six for me and seven for you. Yeah. I think three out of four. And then there's that string. You got Indiana at home. You're at Illinois. You got Purdue at home. And you got Rutgers at home. Take care of three of those. You're at six when you're playing in the pinstripe bowl. Yeah. I'm going to, and I will be there. You're literally, you're going to Yankee Stadium and you're playing against some crap team. But unfortunately, that's the reality of where they're at right now, Neil. And that's, and that's where it is. Like, you can't, you can't come off of what happened at that program and to not make a bowl in today's day and age. What a quarterback now with with it. And that's, and that's what I'm saying. Like, yeah, Sean's concern leads me to concern about that spot. You know what I'm saying? Like that's that the season total over under for wins is four and a half. They don't give things away there. You don't got to play Penn State. You don't got to play Wisconsin. You should, you should be able to sneak into a bowl. How many times did we see last year's spend? And you know, you don't check out. You're a fan of the team. But how many times did you see? They needed a tough yard and they could, I will against Iowa. Couldn't get it. Yeah. And that's too fresh in my mind. I need to see it. I don't know if the answers are there. But my goodness gracious with that schedule being what it is. Yeah. They should have won that game against Iowa last year. They lost on a Cooper Dijean punt return touchdown. Yep. 100%, which is what bad teams do. Yeah. And you were a bad team. We were a bad team last year. It can't continue, Spenny. No, it can't continue. I like Jonathan Smith. Obviously, it's going to take another year to fully revamp the roster. But with the patchwork pieces he brought in, I think they can get to six or seven wins. I don't buy into winning like press conferences. I don't. You know, when somebody goes, Oh, he won the press conference. But what I do is I want to hear guys check the checkboxes. Okay. And in my mind, when Jonathan Smith had that press conference, and I had a chance to talk to him after the fact as well, this is a guy that A knew where he was, knew what boxes to check and knew the work in front of him. Because I think the tendency sometimes is to come in and say, Oh, hey, everything's going to be okay. And he didn't. He understands the work that's in front of him. He understands where he's at. Yes. He had to deal with a lot of the shortcomings that Michigan State has to deal with when he was in Oregon State. And he found a way to make it work. And so to me, that's again, not winning the press conference, because I don't believe in that crap. I mean, I think one of the greatest wins in the history of press conferences was Brady Holes. How did that work out? Yeah. So with that being said, I think you have to at least understand where you are, what you are, and what you need to do. And boy, I think he's three for three in that regard. And what I like about what he did with the offense, obviously, Aidan Charles was the prize piece. You didn't just get Aidan Charles. You got his center and you got his tight end guys that he is comfortable with guys that he knows. You've got two thousand plus yard running backs behind him. And then you add like I said, the chat said that that there are Michigan State running backs were killing him in NCA football. They are really good. Like Nate Carter is a load. He does not go down easy. And the kid we got from UMass ran for 1,100 plus yards and 12 touchdowns and 12 games last year. I doubled back to Jesus when you were talking to me about Michigan schedule.

VGW Group would be recruited by law 18 plus terms and conditions apply. And they are going to make the playoff. Yeah. There's seven gimmies on there. Yeah, they don't have to play seven gimmies. They're not playing Penn State either. They're not playing Wisconsin either. Fresno State, Arkansas State. Yeah. Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan State, Indiana, Northwest. Just the pure fact that they could have three losses baked in. The only games I could see them losing are Texas, Oregon, and Ohio State. Those are the three that I'm looking at. It's hard to go to Washington. The three everybody's looking at it. And again, it depends what they do as well. Washington. That's my concern for Michigan this year is like legitimately you could have a really good team and finish nine and three. I mean, that's my concern for Michigan. And then you have to factor in, well, what, what happens to Texas and the SEC now? Are they a really good three loss team in the SEC? And if they beat Michigan, does that end up hurting Michigan? I don't know. We're all going to have to take a wait and see, you know, how that all plays itself out in December. All right, let's take the break. And when we come back, I got a short one because Sean Belisian is a Heisman voter. And I have, this is going to be a segment for me, like a five minute segment.

Morning came early. Man had to make a day trip to Illinois. So a little tired, man. So I appreciate the energy. But you were still on the hill, right? Were you on the hill today? Oh, no. That what will be this afternoon? I will be trying to give it a go, man. Become a pro. I love it. But I welcome, welcome in, Powerneck. Good to have you, man. Good to be here. All right. Sean, real quick, just a quick segment going to get us back on the clock. I do want to get into the Red Wings thing. College football. This is for me, everyone. I do a lot for you. So give me this five minutes. All right. Sean, college football. Cut the shit. Where are you with college football as a whole? Because you're one of the OGs. You and I are the sickos watching Mountain West on CBS Sports Network. Hi, Sean, the Hawaii home game at midnight. I alter my schedule for the week. I'm locked in. It's funny. I'll text you just out of the blue. You watching this Hawaii game? Hell yeah. The slander towards week zero. I don't get it. It's more college football. Give me the football. Give me the football. Give me the football. Where are you at, Sean? Cut the shit. Where are you at with college football? I'm terrified. I am. I think everything happened too fast and without regulation. Look, it was about time for these guys to get paid. There was no doubt about it. I don't know how anybody can argue that. But I think we just went too fast. I think the transfer portal. I joined the growing list of coaches that that we how do you undo Pandora's box? Like it's open. It's it's wide open. I'm terrified. I'm not saying it's going to go away or anything like that. Like don't don't think I'm going. But yeah, there there are a lot of things. We're an unprecedented territory. Nothing has exploded in my mind on the on the mainstream sports landscape like college football in the last 30 years. I don't I don't I don't I can't compare anything to it. It it really it is it is a solid number two in this nation right now. There's no mistake about it. There is the NFL is king. We all know it. College football is a strong number two. I don't care what anybody says. It really is. But yeah, there are a lot of there are a lot of concerns about where it's going. And if I sound like an old dude, so be it. But I mean we don't have a lot of answers to a lot of things right now. You know, this is kind of unchartered territory. So I'm really intrigued to see how things go. Phil in the chat says college football is dead. And Sean, like this is there has been an overreaction to this to me because we heard this when the transfer portal started. What was that? It's five years ago, whatever it was. Like we heard that. And the world's been turning the TV contracts have only gotten bigger. I'm saying if anything is more exciting, you see what I'm saying? Like I don't know where to get that one from. I think that people have overreacted to this. I think that they have been fed a narrative that the sky is falling and things like that. College football will always be undefeated. To me, it will. Sean, I prefer it to the NFL because I can pick and choose what style of football I like to watch. When we that's how I got into Hawaii thing 15, 20 years ago when June Jones was there and they're running the run and shoot. Boise. I was locked in. Boise was another way. And you can and look, you can do the Michigan angle, you know, with the with the I formation, the postal offense, all that kind of if that's what you like, you can do it. Dominic defenses, gimmicky offenses, which is, yeah, like it's all out there, the triple option. Yep. Yep. Yep. And that's that's why I wanted to be very careful not to go the dramatic thing. I mean, it's a societal problem today. I mean, honestly, not the NCAA's for not getting into politics, but I think it goes beyond sports. I mean, how many times are the end of democracy from both sides? You hear, you hear these, these grandiose statements and I'm not saying it's going to die, but are there concerns? Oh, absolutely. There are concerns. There's no doubt about that. And you know, at the end of the day, Neil, the reasons that you just gave is exactly like somebody like me. I've been opposite of everybody else. I would say around 2000, maybe around 2000, 2001, the NCAA started going like this for me. NCAA football every year, just a little bit more than the NFL every year since then. And it took, I'm not going to lie to you. It's it's at a healthy distance right now. Me and I still love the NFL. I'm all in. Can't wait for the lion seasons. My expectations are as I as everybody else is. But for the reasons you just gave is why college football still has a special place to me. And I say this in all sincerity. And I've said this forever. And I'll say it one more time for posterity just in case you haven't heard it or any of the guys in this room. I am a hockey guy first. I think hockey is the greatest sport on earth. I have no problem saying that there is nothing. And I mean nothing in the sporting world, like being on a campus on Saturday morning. Nothing compares. Nothing. It is 100%. It is the best feeling in sports. I don't care if you're walking into Rineerson Stadium. I don't care if you're going to Tom Adams Field. I don't care if you're going to the big house. I don't care if you're going to Notre Dame. There is nothing like being on a college football campus on a Saturday morning. And even this too, like Lem's 31 M says a lot of regional traditions are dead, but not the game. There's a lot to talk about that too about how the rivalries have went away. Now, but but that's not on college football. And that's not on the NCA. You know who that's on? And no one's talking about this. That's on the coaches and the AD. They could very easily do it if they wanted to. You know what? Very easily do it. You know what makes me sad as I'm sitting in the room with a bunch of guys and Neil, this may be even a little bit before your time. The world stopped when Oklahoma and Nebraska played the world stopped. Yep. And it was always the day after Thanksgiving. Yep. The world stopped. It was like, I don't care who you were, who you rooted for. That means nothing to you guys. Oklahoma, Nebraska. What are you talking about, old man? You know what I mean? I miss things like that. To what Clem or is that his name? Clem, I miss things like that. Like Oregon Oregon, excuse me, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma going away. That sucks. That's on find a way to keep that alive. I agree. Find a way. Okay. Get past your butt hurt. Maybe this, this next swing of schedule and then find a way to get them back on the schedule. That's, that's awesome to me. Like that's, that's been one of those games. Like every year I say to myself, well, I'm not missing that one. Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, something always wacky happens. And gosh, damn it, I want that game, because Sean, Florida, I give you Florida as an example, whose schedule this year is Texas A&M, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Texas, LSU Ole Miss. They are playing also in the non-conference Miami, who's not what they were, but it's cool. They're going to be really good this year. I can't believe I just said that because Lord knows Miami is back. The U is back has been out there. I think with, with that conference being as shitty as it is, Miami is a team that look out and look out for their quarterback. Can't watch too. You got it. And by the way, look out. I told them that two months ago, I'm being dead to my face. No, I'm, I'm done. I'm, I'm a Miami guy. I love Miami. I refuse to believe it anymore. But that's, but that's fine. But they wrap up the season at Florida State. They play that SEC schedule. Their non-cons are Miami and Florida State, and oh, by the way, UCF. They did it. And, and, and the Florida is going to be mocked. They're going to be mocked when they're six and six. They're going to be laughed at and they're going to be mocked, but they should be celebrated. Yeah, I agree with that. I think it's fantastic. No, that, that's, hey, look, there, there was that time in my mind, it helped push college football to the next level. Okay. When I, when I talked about the early 90s, Miami Florida State was one of those games for a period of time that the world stopped and everybody wanted to see it. And it helped put college football next level. I firmly believe that. So I give that fraud Bobby Bowden and Dennis Erickson credit for, for, for help pushing that in the right direction. I really do. Dang, nab it. Oh, I'm so tired of the Bobby Bowden stuff. What a, what a fake. I can act like Jed Clampett too. Yeah. It's like Beverly Elbily's man. Stop it. All right. Let's do this. Let's take the break. I got to talk hockey with you. All right. We got to cut the shit with the red.

It's a cut the ish Thursday and and Sean since you're here, I figured I'd ride off with this. No, not cut the ish. Where do you stand with the Canadians? Cut the ish. Where do you stand with the Red Wings? Because it's you know, you talked earlier about politics has done this to us. I think one of the biggest examples of that is the Red Wings thing right now for real because it flies in the face. The whole Red Wings thing kind of flies in the face of what we say we like as sports fans. New GM comes in. Graphical linear improvement every single year that you can point to every single year. Linear improvement in the accounting department. Massive improvement. IE shot out Franz Nielsen. But through it all, Sean, cut the shit. Where are you at with the Red Wings right now? Better, but it might not translate to what people are looking at. And in my mind, Justin, it's funny to bring this up. Justin and I were talking about this before the show. I think people better buckle up because here's a problem that I think people around here are having. I don't know if you know this. The Red Wings aren't the only team that's rebuilding and trying to do it the right way. And here's the problem. You know where there's a plethora of that in the Atlantic division. And if you're one of those people that you follow prospect pools and you follow what this team is doing and what that team is doing, here's the teams that you're going to find near the top of the list like now. You're going to see the Montreal Canadiens in there. You're going to see the Ottawa senators in there. Not so much in my humble opinion. You're definitely going to see the Buffalo Sabres. Some people will even argue that the Buffalo Sabres are at the top. But in my mind, just this division, just this division, is one that people are looking at right now going, okay, this is this is weird. This is going to be scary. So with all that being said, does that guarantee the Detroit Red Wings a playoffs spot in 24/25? No. In my mind, no. But I don't think it's the end of the world that people make it out to be. I think again, this is is this just about making the playoff and bowing out to somebody in the first year? Or is this about long-term success? And I think that the Detroit Red Wings are on the cost of long-term success and very soon, and I've said this for two years, I'm going to keep saying it, we're going to see this division do a flip. We're going to see these three teams at the bottom that have kind of been scratching and clawing to get theirs, flip with the teams that have been on top like Toronto, like Boston, like Tampa, as some of their aging stars try to go down and you see all this plethora of talent go up. It's not the end of the world. This is a long term, long game. And I know people don't want to hear that, but that's why Steve Iserman is doing it so smartly and it's going to pay off in the end. But this vitriolic, uh, reaction about it. And Sean, here's what I can't get past. And there are people at this network, some of who are on in the morning, some of who fill in this show from time to time. Cough, cough. This whole, this whole thing, like when did, when did this playoff appearance thing become the political hill to die on? They were 90 seconds away from the playoff. So Sean, I know I'm running this by you because you're the hockey guy here. Maybe it's me. Maybe I'm not smart enough. I don't know. But to judge, to judge the tenure of a GM, the trajectory of a franchise that has shown you constant improvement based on 90 seconds of a season not going your way. Sean, that's idiotic to me. Well, and it's funny because I knew the day that he had his press conference, April 19th, 2019. I'm a firm believer. If you pay attention to what a general manager is saying, you don't listen with your heart. You listen with your ears. Okay. If you pay attention to what a general manager is saying, he's going to give you the answers that you're looking for. They may not be the answers that you want to hear. And what he said on that day is this isn't about just getting back to the playoffs. This is about us going into that position that that basically he played in where every year you go, look out for the red wings, look out for the red wings. Now you don't win the cup every year. And sometimes you, you know, flame out miserably. Okay. But you know you're going to be in the mix. This franchise isn't at that point yet. They aren't. And there aren't enough draft picks. There isn't enough money to be spent, especially in this era of cap certainty that allow you to take a jump up quickly like that. It doesn't work that way. All right. Well, we're sports chat. And here we go. Cody angle. Stop with the lame ass 90 seconds. BS. We choked away at nine point lead for a wild card spot. And Cody, I would say to you, when they got that nine point lead, they were on a 12, two and two heater where they had 12 and two team last year at any stretch. They chased it with a two and 12. They're a borderline playoff team. They're around a 500 team, Cody. Like that's what they are. So you can like, you can cut, you can choose your battles and cut segments of a season. But that's what they were. That's what the math dictated that they were, Cody. And yes, they were 90 seconds away from going to the playoffs. They were. I don't. All right. So let's, let's play a game for 10. They make the playoffs and they get smoked by the Rangers in the first round. Am I missing? Am I missing? Does it? Does that help? That's what I'm doing? Any much? Like I'm not being funny. I've come head and hand to you, sir. Please help me. I'm looking to you now. No, I don't understand it. I tell me why is it like this? I don't understand why just making the playoffs is such a like wondrous thing. And Justin, you and I, we're talking about, I'll continue the conversation with you right here. What was it wearing as Jamie Ben Jersey? The red wings could take a really big step this year and really watch the maturation of a lot of guys in the system take the next step. And it still might not equal the playoffs. That's the crazy thing. And you know what? That's not a bad thing. No, it's not. And I got killed. I got absolutely murdered. You weren't here. I think it was on Monday, but I said the exact same thing. Did you have your Jamie Ben Jersey? No, I did not. I had a red wing shirt on, but flannel came after me. And I, but if we're seeing linear growth, and even if the linear growth isn't necessarily in the standings, if the linear growth is the young guys coming up, getting that experience, because you know what? In two years, we may be ready to compete for a Stanley Cup. There is a possibility that our goal goal is already. There's a possibility we still have Terasenko at a good chunk of the end of his prime. We will possibly resign Kane if he still has the usage that we can run his tires off until he retires. We could make a splash signing in free agency because we will have the cap space. Like this just isn't the year to go for it. We don't have our infrastructure ready to go for it yet. We are so close and everyone like this isn't like the Tigers that are pieces away that don't have the pieces in the farm system. We have the pieces in the farm system. They're waiting. They're waiting to get their shot, but they're going to need that learning curve in the regular season to become the NHL stars that they are supposed to be. And I think a lot of people, I'm going to remind people again, a lot of people better be very careful because it isn't just the red wings that are doing it this way. The habs are going to be very dangerous very soon. You're going to see the sabers be very dangerous. And yes, I'm saying the sabers. That's almost like saying look out for the Miami Hurricanes. Yes, the sabers have a heck of a lot of talent. Auto is still has some. So it's going to be really fun to see how this plays out. But but Neil, to your point, the whole you've got to make the playoff routine. Why? Why? Why? I don't know. Why do I have to make the playoff? Help me understand why I have to make the playoff. Is there one human being out there? One, including flannel. And I'll ask this to flannel if I see flannel flannel. Here's my question to you. Are the red wings in shouting distance of going and winning a Stanley Cup? Anybody in the right mind knows the answer to that is no. So what am I missing? Well, it'd be nice to make the playoffs for what? What? Like, I'm not trying to be funny. I'm not trying to diminish the playoffs. But but why? What I want to see is the young guys that we've heard so much about step in and start to mature in front of our very eyes. The names that we're all going to be talking about, much like we talked about that incredible core back in Steve Eisenman's day. You know a little bit about one of them, some guy named McCarty. You know what? These at one point in time, we're all like these names we've heard the last few years, and they've become household names because they brought them up, they gave them time, they took their lumps, they had miserable losses. Need I remind you, the loss to the San Jose Sharks, the loss to Boris Shevsky in 93, even the final in 95. Guess what? They stayed the course and they ended up winning multiple Stanley Cup champions with that core. And how you ruin the core is by going and trying to go and tying guys like Sam Coast too early.
