Hey, welcome in. Happy Wednesday, Araslin Wednesday for everybody out there who celebrates. It's a Jeff Ross one day, which should be everybody. Yeah, and it Jeff Rust Wednesday. Welcome back, Mr. Rust. I'll let you boy. Indeed. That was a drop. He didn't even turn his microphone on. I just did just now. Those folks that are watching on YouTube, YouTube.com/1080amthefan, you can see his little red light, not on, not on. Well, now it is. Now it is a year older and wiser as you come back to that seat. At least a year older. I mean, you're still a wise ass, but I mean, there's something wise in there. Yeah, we all know what's really happening here. Welcome back, Russ. Thanks. Welcome back. It's good to have you back here. I would say it's good to be back, but let's face it. I don't need to blow that smoke up. Anybody's are saying it's like, wow, yeah, you were well, I mean, you were living that beach life, right? Yeah, I feel like the Jeff Rust retirement plan is going to be just living on the coast. Yeah, you're not wrong, and on a beach somewhere, just living that good life, being a coasty. Yeah, people are just going to come across to you and you're just, they're going to have, and be like, what's this guy's story? Yeah, just taking over the man's and eats. How'd you, how'd you end up here? What's your, what was your path here? Well, they've been paying attention the last close to 35 years from here. Do we have any beach permits anymore? What do you mean? Like people, like people, not crabs. But you're going to have to elaborate on that. I'm not, I don't know what that means. The lone wanderers of the beach. Oh, yeah. Do we have them out here? Yeah, I'm not a frequent coast, coast goer. Not many folks leave the Oregon coast. Yeah, you live there and you're like a lifer. Oh, yeah. No, I know that. But I'm talking about like the hermits on the beach. I'm talking. We're going full goonies. I feel like if we're going coast hermits, they tend to perhaps probably stick away from the actual sand part of the beach and just come and touch further inland, you know, wandering up and down highway 53. Yeah, that's, that's more perhaps the old Miami Foley Road. Yeah, you'd have been jewel maybe. Yeah. Maybe if you're getting crazy missed. How the hell do we wind up in Hamlet? I feel like you guys are just making up names. No, they're real. No, it's, it's a, those are real. Those are all real places. The Hamlet quits stop. That's the place in kindergarten cop where the lady cop gets out to go throw up. Hamlet, I do not have any family that has lived there. Jewel and missed. I do have family that have lived there. My wife's friend or not my wife's friend. My daughter's friend. Her family has a cabin up in the hills of Hamlet. My mom was a proud coastie growing up seaside high. She's a, she's a seagull. And then flying right at the sky. My grandfather was the cop in Cannon Beach. My grandparents lived outside of Nahalam off of Highway 53 in God's Valley Road. We are coasties here. We got coasties here. Yeah, it's in her blood. Yeah, my, now my, my grandmother has migrated down the coast. She lives in Florence. Are we gonna say we go beach in it? No, not that far down. Nobody goes. Nobody goes that far down. What are we talking about here? When goes there? No, like Mordor. She lives in Florence now. And I think, I, I call of my relative, like all of my mom's side of the family, they, they, they're hovering on a long coast now. Her brother lives in Half Moon Bay. Her sister lived in seaside for a really long time and then ventured into Klask and I, big logging community out there. Shout outs Klask and I, where my cousin has a day named after him. Oh, yeah. Tyler Best Day. He won a wrestling state championship. Very nice. So the mayor gave him a key to the city. Cool. I mean, that is really cool. That is, I don't have a key, I don't have a key to the city. I don't have a day named after me. Yeah. That's pretty bad. That's a city which won't, which one you haven't. I think you get both. Like, I think if you get one, you get the other, right? I think they are kind of hand in hand. Yeah. I'm not going to lie. I kind of want one. Yeah. And like, you just wear it around your neck. I mean, like, flavor, Flav's clock. You just do it. Do what you want. Yeah. I don't know. It's my day. And I have a key to the city. I have asked him before what he, what is the key open? He's like, I don't think anything. And, but it's like, it should get you into somewhere. Like, Harry Potter's like, remove secrets or just, it's like a copy of somebody in the town's house. Like, we don't know who is just like, you got a key though. It goes somewhere. And you like, your goal is then on that day, it's like the purge, right? Anything goes. Like on, on his day, he should be able to go up to any lock that he sees and see if the key works. And if he finds it, then, then, then's his now. It's a finders keeper. It's like for that 24 hour period. It's like Wild Wild West where like you could just use that. I claim this land. It's like, well, I don't know. Nope. I called Dibs. And they're like, all right. Well, he makes a really good point. I just planted my flag. It's mine now. Like this ball musket says it's mine. Well, how much? How much is it? I don't know. Until there. Yeah. Like where's there? Where we can't see anymore. That's mine. There we go. If I can see you, you're on my land. Yeah. Yeah. And then it's like, oh, all right. Well, he did. He makes a good point. Finders versus keepers. You're going to have to talk to Bill because I think from where he is, he can see on to part of where you can see. And that's how the Hatfields and McCoy started. Yeah. That's how Bill died. That is how Bill died. And Steve got all of it. I'm pretty sure there was some moonshine involved in there or something too, but yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The Hatfield and McCoy's is there. Why are they? They just hate each other and they killed each other, right? Yeah. But that's just like bad blood neighbors. It was a blood feud. Yeah. I can't remember what started it. But we all know them. Yeah. Like, well, because we think a lot of them die. You think your neighbors are crazy? Let's go. And that's it. They're in what? Tennessee or Kentucky? One of those two? Yeah. I mean, somewhere around there. Six to one half dozen of the other. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe there. I think Tennessee. I want to say it's Tennessee. Like West Virginia, Kentucky. West Virginia, Kentucky. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense there. That makes a lot of sense there. But we all know, and they're just hillbilly neighbors that just were like, no, I'm dead. I hate you. F you get off my land. Yeah. You know, I think keep your son away from my daughter. Other people would have been like, we're going to move. Yeah. There was no started because that they had different. They were different parts of the Civil War. Oh, yeah. And then, well, which side are we on? Are we on the Hatfields or McCoy side? Well, I guess if it was West Virginia, that was probably the, the, the union that believes so. Well, they're on both sides of it. So we don't know. I just want to make sure we know we're like, we want, we don't want to be, we don't want to pick a side here in this battle. And then choose wrongly. Yeah. You know, you don't want to be on that. You don't want to say I'm team Hatfield and be like, Oh, no, those are the, he was captured by a rebel rebels. So I would imagine. Okay. So we're team McCoy or we're team McCoy, we're team union. McCoy's are the blue. And the next part of this. Oh, this is going to get great. This is going to get very problematic. And it's going to be like, you didn't want to pick a side on this. Yeah, they're then the next part of this is a feud over a hog, the ownership of a hog. That seems reasonable. I saw the movie pig. And then there was the, the one that I remember the new year, New Year's Night Massacre. Yeah, that's the, yeah, we all know that that's the one where they over the pig. Lots of them over the pig. Yeah, I'll be damned. It was, it was a lot. Hmm. All right. All right. History. There you go. Yeah. But yet we all know them. Yeah. Like it, when you say Hatfields and McCoy's, you know exactly who we're talking about. We're talking about them hillbillies that were fighting over a pig. And then just got all one New Year's Eve. It's kind of crazy, you know, to give you an insight into my brain. The number of times I've wondered at the course of history, how easily it could be changed by a modern sniper rifle in a couple mags and ammunition. Yeah. I think you're probably right. I would say maybe not even the sniper rifle, but just like a machine gun. No, just like a fully automatic gun. I mean, think, think about going back to like medieval times. You fire a shot from a suppressed rifle, a concealed position, a mile away. You know what that is? That's magic. Yeah. I was just going to say that's how Merlin the magician became became at the Camelot's round table there. You guys remember the old, a field in McCoy's mini series from a while back? Yeah. Costner, right? Yeah. Costner. Yes. I was just looking it up. Costner, Bill Paxton, Tom Behringer, Powers Booth. Good God. He had some star power. People make that have varying opinions on Costner. He's the best modern Western throwback actor there is. It's not close. But people still aren't going to see his new movie. Yeah. Well, I mean, he does Westerns in baseball. Yeah. I mean, Costner's nails at that. He's modern day and draft day and draft day. I don't know how, but draft day has appeared on my TikTok algorithm like a lot recently. And there's a lot of plot holes in that. It hurts. Oh, I'm sure. You don't worry about that. It hurts the watch. That movie was not meant for the football head. Well, he's like, Hey, who's that new GM down in Jacksonville, the kid? What's his name? It's like, well, I think that maybe like the whole point of that is he knew who he was, but he just didn't want to acknowledge him. But let's face it, he's also working in the front office for the Browns. So that kind of tracks. Counterpoint was very good. Counterpoint. It was the Browns. Was the Browns. You know, is that the best draft day the Browns have had? Let's go down that let's go down that quarterback jersey. Miles Garrett. Yeah. Is that the best quarterback draft the Browns have had ever? Yes. Okay. All right. Well, we settled that then. All right. So congrats, Kevin Costner, the best GM the Browns have ever had to give him a key to the city. Look, if you were to have a niche though, I think Costner's got it because like if your niche is Westerns and kick ass baseball movies, can go wrong? Yeah, you can do a lot worse. Look, yeah. And it's not like they're cranking them out like superhero movies. So the frequency isn't there. Well, I think he kind of is at that point with Westerns now. Like he's got Yellowstone. Which is I don't anymore? He's got the spin-offs of like, what is it? 1889. Is that what it is? Oh, there was a 1932, I think 1889 was one of them. They're just naming years now. They're just naming years. And then he's got the new, what's the new movie? What's the new movie's got out? Oh, it's the something horizon and it's not event horizon. American horizon, the horizon. That's right. I think you're just on horizon horizon. Horizon and American water world horizon. Now the mailman. An American saga. An American saga chapter one. You can't call it chapter one. Oh, they're already doing it. Like chapter two is basically already made. Well, I know, but this is why people aren't watching it because you know there's gonna be a cliffhanger. And if there's something that we're like a binge watching culture now where we don't want to wait. So I bet you whatever streaming service, probably paramount, right? Safe bet. Whatever streaming service horizon is on right before number two comes out. That's where you're gonna see all of the people are gonna start watching that movie because they don't want the cliffhanger. So many of these movies these days too, they come out and it's a you don't have the same amount of time as you're used to between the theatrical release and you know coming to home video. A lot of the movies these days, it's like two weeks later and all of a sudden it's like, oh, it's something. It's something fails. Was it a fall guy, the the Gosling movie? It didn't do as well as they wanted it to in the first two weeks and they took it out of theaters and put it on streaming services. That's crazy. Two weeks. By the way, enter somewhat entertaining movie. Not great. But I mean, like, yeah, if it does like you wait to like the end credits for the fall guy theme song, which is unfortunate. I'm looking at Kevin Costner's notable movies and shows. So you got Yellowstone, Horizon, Field of Dreams, obviously, but he's got some bangers and he's got some months. This may be controversial. I did not like the bodyguard with Whitney Houston. I mean, it's it wasn't made for us. Yeah, yeah. It's like saying you don't even like ghost, just yeah, it wasn't made for kind of like you know, no, no, it goes to the bodyguard and they both come out at the same time. Ghost was earlier. Once a guard was like 92 wasn't ghost. I don't know, they very may well have body 92 90 90. Yeah. So you got bodyguard dances with wolves, which I mean, it's eight hours long, but boys are good. And if you don't like that, just go watch Avatar. Yeah, water world, hidden figures, Robin was really good in hidden figures, hidden figures. It's a insane movie. Yeah, the untouchables. He was the best Robin, by the way. Oh, and Robinhood. All of the Robinhoods, his Robin of Lockley was the thing is though it I mean, look, entertaining movie and it's great. But they should have just reshot the scenes that he tried to do the the English accent and then abandoned about 20 minutes into the film. Just reshoot them without him trying the crappy British accent. Yeah. And then make the whole movie with him. I will make a counterpoint to my own point about him being the best Robinhood. Oh, good. Kara Ewells. Elvis. Ewells. I know. Yeah, it's like, Oh, okay. Oh, we're putting the emphasis on the wrong syllable. Yes, yes. I will go. And then he's got like open range. That's a good movie. Oh, yeah, it's a great movie. Tin Cup. Awesome. Fantastic. The highway man. Really good. Here's it. I like highway men. Ryan Reynolds. Shut up. Ryan Reynolds is just in every movie that what makes him good is that he is just Ryan Reynolds playing a character. That's kind of in the last what decade or so. Yeah. But I think it's Kevin Costner too. Think about all of his all of his roles are the same role. It's just Kevin Costner being Kevin Costner. It's pretty. It's a good niche to have. You know what I mean? And I think you can kind of draw those parallels too because Ryan Reynolds has bangers and just turds and turds. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. But if you give Ryan Reynolds, you know, Costner's got 15 years on him. Yeah, right. If you give Ryan Reynolds another 15 years, he's going to keep going to the well. He's going to have the bangers he's going to keep putting out. And we'll forget about the turds. You don't like nobody. Nobody forgets Green Lantern. But but I know well, he apologized for it at the end of Deadpool two after after the post credits. No, he keeps going. It's awesome. He keeps going. Yeah. Even the new one. He apologizes again. He knows he knows. He knows what he's doing. Everyone knows how much of a streaming pile of crap that movie. But you know what? That was that was Waterworld for Costner though. Everybody's like Kevin Cotton and the postman. Okay. The postman sucked. I will. The water world was not terrible. No, when he took the jet ski down at the bottom and he went way up. That was pretty awesome. Look, they spent a bajillion dollars on it. But it's not not entertaining. No, it's wet max. It is. It is it is mad max in water. That's all it is. Yeah. Yeah. And I think that's why people are like, well, we thought this was going to be different and it's not. It's an entire world covered in water instead of an entire world without water. Yeah, it's not. It's a post-apocalyptic wasteland of water. Yeah. Here's another one to you from the old. The old Vancouver Ford text line in terms of actors that just played the same role in every movie, The Rock. Yeah. Well, well, I mean, what are you going to do? He's just six foot five, three hundred and thirty pounds from Owen man. Like what what is he going to do? I mean, there's I have this criticism of a guy that people love Nick Cage. Like Nick Cage. There's no variation. Yeah. And anything that he does, he has just become more glaring over the last one seven years to a decade to because he owes the damn much money on taxes and he can't turn down a movie. Yeah. But he does he does a lot of the he just is the same guy. And the guy who's kind of flipped a script on that is Keanu Reeves. Keanu Reeves everywhere. Yeah. And Keanu Reeves, look, phenomenal actor. He went from Bill and Ted and the idiot race car driver in parenthood to being like John Wick go to actor in John friggin Wick. Yo, look, well, John Wick and you I think are kind of the same. But I think the difference between where he was the same was he was Bill and Ted. And then he was that as an FBI agent. Yes. That was the same person. He transitioned from just being an idiot into oh, we can do something different with him. Action Star Wars. And then the first Matrix he will kind of still had the same delivery. But then he sort of evolved. What was what was that movie? It was I am an FBI agent. That's so bad. I'll back off for a child seriously. There was a movie like the R.I.P. It was a the Keanu was in the it had a weird animation to it. Oh, God, where he's like undercover. Oh, a scanner darkly. Yes. That's it. Like that. It's a bad movie, but can't say I've ever seen it as a trip from hell. Oh, as a trip from hell. Okay. Like just if you ever want to just throw something on where you're like, what the hell is this? And then just kind of continually ask yourself that. But also kind of be enthralled with just how weird it is. It's fun for that. It's a great summation of my life. There you go. What the hell is this? What the hell is this? Well, we're going to keep on going through it. We'll see where we land. All right. Well, let's talk in Kevin Costner. Yeah, I like it. A damn legend. I love Kevin Costner. Fantastic. Do we believe the Cowropkin Jr. conspiracy theory that the same person? No, no, no, that Cowropkin Jr. One night, the lights went out in Baltimore and it was because the Cowropkin Jr. went home and he saw Costner stupid his wife and then ended up going back. They delayed the game so the street could continue. Yes. Yeah. Both of them have denied that. But Cowards, you know, you want to believe some stuff. Speaking of things that will continue to believe forever. Let's get this radio program on the road. We got a lot that we need to get to. It is Rassen Wednesday. What's up, Rassen Wednesday? We have an anniversary to celebrate today. We've got a lot of NFL news and notes and just the wheels are falling off in one place. They really are got some NBA news, Olympics. I got a baseball. I don't know. Baseball sack. Baseball sack. I don't know. We got a bag of balls that we need to get to with baseball because the White Sox won. I mean, it's effectively call it what it is. It's a ball sack. Yeah. But where we got to start this thing off, he didn't apologize yesterday and don't expect it today next on the fan. Unbelievable finish in the 400 meters at the Olympics in Paris. Quincy Hall, the American sprinter, South Carolina, I believe is where you live. He ends up going from fourth to first in the home stretch of the 400 meters. And that makes it now three gold medals for American runners at Paris with unbelievable finishing strength. You go back to Noah Liles in the 100 meter where he went from last to first in that race. You had Cole Hawker yesterday in the 1500 meters where he was trapped against the rail and in fourth place and then moved his way up to third and then got an alley and ended up with a gold in the 15. And now Quincy Hall in the 400 meters runs everybody down. He went from fourth to first on the home stretch running a 4340 to win gold. It looked like holy smokes. It looked like a drag race or an engine blows up on one car, but instead of getting off the gas, the driver just kept the pedal down and said, whatever the things got, I'm going to, I'm going to dump it into the tank because his form goes to hell. He's bobble and looks like he's going to fall five different times. And then he opens his stride up in the final 20, 30 meters. And he's hitting the ground the same time as the guy from England. His head and his arms were out of control, but his body didn't, his lower half was all in rhythm and his core didn't move. It was just his head and his arms. Just striding it out. Never really seen anything like that. That was crazy. That was crazy. To close like that. And that much in that small, small of a distance isn't insane. That's wild, man. He was nowhere near coming out of the turn. Geez, Louise. But that's, I can't remember three races like that, where you've had the 100, the 1500 and the 400 all finished that way. That's crazy. Passes. Passes three guys. Yeah. Down the home stretch. That's nuts. Man. All right. Football. Jim Harbaugh's been hit with a four year show cause by the NCAA. The whole, if you do not cooperate, the NCAA will hammer you. Well, Jim Harbaugh's finding that out. He has been hit with a four year show cause that includes a one season suspension for his recruiting violations during COVID where remember when he said it was just a hamburger, you know, downplaying that whole thing. When you do not comply with the NCAA, they will absolutely hammer you for whatever they can find on you, right? So if you want to think that this is just because of the recruiting violations, I would have to say it also has to do with what we talked about yesterday with the Notice of Allegations where he faces level one infractions for not cooperating whatsoever with the Connor Stallion spying situation. He said, no, I'm good. And he said, I will, when you, when you stumble, you apologize, I will not apologize. And so he's not going to apologize for the Connor Stallion thing because that's not what this show causes for. Oh, this one. What is this one for, Dustin? Is for violating recruiting and inducement rules, engaging in unethical conduct, failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance and violating the head coach's responsibility obligations, resulting in a four year show car. And a lot of this came out of the COVID period. Oh, yeah. Remember, it was, you know, he says that a recruit showed up on campus. This is the whole hamburger. They bought him a hamburger. And look, the NCAA, like the old saying was, if the NCAA wants to, they can, they can hit you for a ham sandwich. Now we can say a hamburger, because that's exactly what happened in Jim Harbaugh's case. And look, it, an unpermissible contact during the COVID lockdown, it happened all the time. Everywhere. Because that's what you had to do. But again, defiance is what kills you. And not cooperating is what, what hammers you. And so it was more than just the hamburger that, that he said. Sure. It was text messages. It was text messages, phone calls, his entire staff just continuing to basically recruit throughout the entire thing. And that does fall on the head coach. There, make no mistake, the three years leading up to him finally taking the charger's job. Remember, he was, he was rumored to be in the hunt for multiple NFL jobs that two years prior to taking the charger's job. They knew that something was going to happen. He had one final run and one hell of a run it was. He basically knew that he wasn't going to get hit last year. So yeah. All right. We'll come back and do the skin. Yeah. And what the NCAA said is that the fact that they thumb their nose at the rules and going through the, the recruiting process during no contact times and just saying, we know we're not supposed to, but we're still going to do it. That's why he's getting hit with the four-year show cost. This is unrelated though to the spying situation. Yes. So it's not the Connor stallions. There could be more, but wait, there's more. And I wonder if you're going to get Harbaugh to be like, Oh, well, yeah, you know, we, we already went with that. He did that. That was his suspension at the beginning of the season, by the way. Remember last year he was suspended for the first three games of the season, first three games and then the final four games of the regular season. And that's when the first three games, remember, he had three different head coaches for those games. That's right. They've cycled through because they're talking about didn't want to name one. He went Jesse Mentor, his defensive coordinator for one, Sharon Moore, his offensive coordinator for another. And then I believe it was his dad and special teams coordinator for the third game. If they didn't matter because they played Patsy's at the beginning of nobody. Yeah. But that was, this is why he was suspended for the first three games last year. And then the Connor stallions thing was the last four games last year. So Harbaugh missed half the year or actually just a little bit less because they went 15 and all right. Yeah. Yeah. So a little bit than less than half of half of the season. Harbaugh was suspended for and they still went perfect in one national championship. That's good. That's a good little resume to have there. Some so good. The titles per games coached that year. Pretty good. I guess that maybe just says about the level of talent at Michigan last year. Not too shabby. If you were wondering if Jim Harbaugh will ever go back to college football, there's no, no, no, at least until 2029. Well, no, he'll have to, if he comes back, he'll have to serve the suspension. So that that's what you're getting is whatever time he comes back is he'll still face a one year suspension for the team that hires him, which is going to be crazy. Do you hire him as an assistant coach and then have him be an animal here? Yeah. Well, who's going to take that job? No, he's just going to get it. You know, yeah, we're, well, you do it at Michigan. Yeah. You just say you're going to be the placeholder and then Harbaugh's going to take over and we promise he'll let you have you have a job. Have your job back and you get paid a lot of money. You get head coach pay for a couple years. Yeah. Actually, that's not bad. That's not a bad gig at all. Huh? Go ahead and give you a little extra on top here before that happens. Not too shitty. So he's not even eligible to go back to college until 2028 or, and then at that point, I believe he'll still be suspended with the way that the one year suspension happens. Anybody that hires him, his show cause starts today and goes through August 6th of 2028. And then it requires the school wanting to hire him to suspend him for the first full season. So he's not, Harbaugh is not going back to college anyway. No. I don't think that that is going to be in his cards because when you think of like Jim Harbaugh always has said that he's going to coach football and then he's going to die. He is 60 years old right now. You assume he'll get, even if it goes sideways in LA, he'll get four years there right with the Chargers. So then he'll be 64 years old and then he'll probably just do what his dad does, which is latch on to somebody in his coaching tree and just be around the game until he literally dies. Yeah. Yeah. Otherwise known as the Monty Kiffin. Yeah. That would be okay. Say Harbaugh coaches in the NFL until at least 70, 10 years in the end of that. Which is an unherve at all. The NCAA goes away and in the power for conferences have their own, Charlie Bakers, he's recommended it. The president of the NCAA has said the power schools need to operate into their own umbrella. He could just go and just start coaching again. I'm done. In the, in the new whatever entity that is, is ruling the, even if, hell, say this new entity gets going in two to three years, Harbaugh could just go and retake the Michigan job and not be under the NCAA's ruling anymore. Yeah, it should be done with it. Damn. This is all sudden. Harbaugh's been playing 3D chess. We're all playing checkers, brother. Yes, sir. He's no dummy. He's no dummy. I'm going to love to hear what Harbaugh has to say about it. And at some point, he will be asked about it. He's going to be asked today. Yeah. I mean, Chargers are going to, they're going to drill him down. He's going to give a, a nothing burger of an answer. It will be fantastic because he said yesterday, quite literally, I will not apologize. Yeah. There it is. There's no offense. There's no defense. It's, it's a we-fence. Yeah. God, I forgot about that one. Yeah. That's a good one. That's it. He's a quote machine. He is America. I'll never forget. I remember I made the little graphic that I used we-man in an offense. He was doing, he was doing dishes, packing big lippers. Like he was taking big old dips during the Pac-12 coaches calls back in the day, Pac-10 coaches call. Like you, you'd just be mid-question and you hear him go, and then you'd be like, oh, I know what Jim's doing. He's not, he's not having a stroke. He's putting in a lipper. Every answer after that, you'd hear like a perfect. He's a legend. I love it. For your show, Cos, and the NCAA is just getting going with Michigan as the notice validations for the spy thing is going to be coming down the line. Yeah. Oh, man. Hey, we've got a new contract has been consummated. We talked about this briefly yesterday and how it pertains to the Portland Trailblazers. Now it becomes official. Indeed. One guy is off the market in the forward trade market, that after us with SportsCenter. Lori Markinan and the Utah Jazz have made it official. A new deal for Lori Markinan. It's technically a five year, $238 million renegotiation extension, gives him $24 million more this year, and then a four year, $196 million extension. He'll go from making $18 million to $42.2 million this year. That's the key there with signing that extension is that he did not do that. He would have left an additional $24 million on the table. Yikes. So, Lori Markinan accomplishes a couple of things here. First of all, he gets paid and the jazz who needed to get to the salary floor accomplish that goal. On top of that, Lori Markinan, because he signed the contract today, as opposed to yesterday, limits his ability to be traded until the summer. So, he effectively gave himself a one year no trade clause. This is kind of the same thing that you get when you sign as a restricted free agent. You have kind of like a right of first refusal in your first year. You cannot be traded without consent and you cannot be traded to the team that offers you if you're a restricted free agent. Now that isn't the case with Lori. He just basically, because of the timeline, had he signed August 6th, that would have gone to February 10th, ninth, I can't remember the date, of the actual trade deadline, which is exactly six months. So, it would have meant he was trade eligible for a span of hours. But again, would be trade eligible on the trade deadline. Signing in the seventh, that day gets pushed out, he is no longer trade eligible. Done, complete. There's no more. Well, the Warriors could know it's done. If you're a team who is looking to make a move before the season now, then you're looking at forwards, you're looking at two teams. You're looking at the Portland Trailblazers and Jeremy Grant, or you're looking at the Washington Wizards and Kyle Coos. There is also some news on Jeremy Grant as well as Yahoo Sports, Jake Fisher. He had his little briefing yesterday, or late last night, where he said that Jeremy Grant would prefer to stay in Portland. Here's an excerpt from what Fisher wrote. Few players want to face the general uncertainty of moving mid-season, especially those who've enjoyed new found stability for the first time in their careers. That has been the same word about Portland forward, Jeremy Grant, sources said, despite rival teams interest in the veteran trailblazer. He wants to be a blazer. You touched on this yesterday with Laurie Markin and Jeremy Grant, where they're neither one of them wanted to be moved because they're family situation. This is not a guess from Jeremy. I talked to him directly about this. He has told me repeatedly, repeatedly when I've asked him about this stuff over the last couple months. I just had a kid. I like it here. I'm comfortable here. There's nothing here that's like, I want to leave. Jeremy's very bluntly honest about things when you've got a good relationship with him. I trust him. He's flat-out told me he's not in a hurry to go anywhere. He's got another kid on the way. Now, if a deal came up where it made sense for both sides, I think Jeremy would be amenable to it, if it made sense for both sides. Well, and if it's to a place where he's not being sent to Siberia, then that's what I mean. Because he's already there. Sending him to LA makes sense. It's number one. It's Portland, LA. You're not uprooting your family and going across the country. It's a very easy change for an NBA player to make. It's a trip that you make as an NBA player pretty frequently. Guys go to LA. That's where they spend most of their summers. LA, Miami, that's where in New York, those are the three cities, everybody spends their summers at. It's not a big change. Going back to Oklahoma City, that's a big change. Going to the East Coast, that's a big change. I don't think the blazers would do that unless the deal was so overwhelming. But even beyond that, the blazers have shown in the past. They're not just going to screw guys over. And despite what every Miami Heat fan wants to tell you, they did not screw Damian a little bit over by sending him to Milwaukee to play with the one player on the planet he wanted to play with more than anyone. So calm down. They, C.J. McCollum got a list, right? Norm Powell and Robert Covington got sent to the Clippers where Norm Powell wanted to go to LA. Yeah, he wanted to go home. Like everybody they basically worked with. They have gotten them to a place. Well, Uncle Brogdon wizards, but again, closer to home for him. And not a guy that Portland needed to do that for because he didn't, I mean, when you produce and provide something of value to the organization, that's when you send a guy and say, we appreciate your value. Go on. And Uncle Brogdon was here for a cup of coffee. And they did do it for Drew, though. Yeah, Drew gave him a list. And I reported that when that deal, when that deal went down, that Drew Holiday had a list, the Utah Jazz pushed infinitely hard. They wanted to draw a day unequivocally. And when they didn't get him, they, they cashed out on last year, last year was supposed to be a year that they were going to try and win. And then all of a sudden they went, what they wanted to do was get Drew, have Lowry under control and have the salary space and a bunch of young prospects and a bunch of picks. So if things went sideways and Dallas, they can make a move for Luca. Yeah. That's, that's what they were going for. Like, how do we get the guys around Luca? Drew Holiday, who doesn't need the ball? Laura Mowgrenen, who doesn't need the ball can both play off ball, one's a plus defender, one has plus size and shooting. It's like, it was very easy to see kind of what they were doing, right? They've now pivoted, but they've got Lowry locked up long term now. And it was like, Oh, Lowry's making all his money. He's a 26 year old all-star, seven footer, who's a damn near 5049 shooter, who doesn't, who doesn't dominate the ball. Really damn good. He's so good. I don't, I can't, and he's fulfilled his finish, or his finish Air Force responsibilities. Yeah, military service records. Yeah. Yeah. The thing about Lowry, and this is the, that makes him so unique, there's not a team in the NBA, he couldn't play on and be effective. There are so few players in the NBA who are at his skill level, where you're like, Oh, you need to make concessions and they need to ball. And you do it all. Lowry plays off the ball, maybe better. Everybody talks about Steph. I think Lowry plays off the ball even better than Steph does because of his size. He can, he can do more, so to speak, off the ball as a cutter and as a finisher. Yeah, finisher. Oh, great nickname, by the way. But I think this is a win. Whenever there's a bunch of people out there like, what are the jazz doing? They're doing the same thing the players can do. You can have good players and suck at the same time. Calm down exactly what the jazz are doing. If you do, if you think all the jazz might go for it, no, there's one place on this planet that a Cooper flag Jersey would go more platinum than Portland as Utah. It would, it would flag jerseys in Utah. That's the great white hope right there. My God, that that Jersey, you could put the total number of stock in Malone jerseys on this planet. And it would pale in comparison to what a flag jersey would do there right now. All right. Well, Lori marketing now officially extended in Utah, which opens it up. As you said, there's now two guys that are prime targets. One of Washington, one right here in Portland on the forward trade market. And that is Jeremy Grant, who wants to stay in Portland? All right. An unknown. Oh, wait. Who was the guy from Washington, you said again? Kyle Coosma. Kyle Coosma is Coosma really that valuable though. I mean, yeah, six foot eight, two way forward. Who's got some playmaker versatility, some scoring ability to create off the bounce. Yeah. All right. Coosma despite being Coosma is still a good basketball player. Right. An anniversary to be celebrated today in sports history, a recent Hall of Fame inductee had an all time moment next on the fan as stings theme brings us back on this rass on Wednesday. We head into the time machine August 7th, 2001, an all time moment, a man well ahead of the curve. Just this past weekend, Steve McMichael was introduced or inducted into the pro football Hall of Fame. I can't know how he is suffering from ALS. That was a sad talk to watch. It was very hard to watch, but it was also a great honor for him to be getting into the pro football Hall of Fame this past year as an all time Chicago Bears, great. Two time all pro and two time pro bowler for the Bears. He was an anchor in the middle of those 85 bears that steamrolled their way to a Super Bowl, but Mongo is also known for one other thing. Fantastic. Probably one of the all time seventh inning stretches in Chicago Cubs history. He was say seventh inning stretches ever. He was a guest singer seven years after his playing career was over still beloved by the folks of Chicago. He went to the north side of Wrigley Field and he gave us this seventh inning stretch. Mongo's home Chicago. And don't worry. I'll have a I'll have some speaks with that home plate umpire after the game. Bet you can't guess who the home plate umpire is. All right. In the front of this. This bus for you Harry K. Shugging to be here. All right. Let's get off this shoulder so I don't like how to do it. I want a two, a three, take me out to the ball game. Take me out to the ground. The flag is so mean. That's it. That's it. I don't care. But it's good. Good luck by the bears. I've become. If they don't live in Sashay, glorious one, two, three strikes are out in the old home plate. Yeah, he's Chicago drunk for sure. Absolutely hammered doing Harry Kerry right by the way. I mean, you got to be half in the bag or fully loaded. They're pulsed it off with the natural Bud live. Hey, hey, if the moon was mighty cheese, would you eat it? I don't know. I would. But he gives a toast to Harry Kerry and then he tells angel who's the umpire, which was Angel Hernandez. This is 2001. This is long before Angel Hernandez was known as a terrible home plate umpire. Everybody just knew he sucked then too. And Mongo McMichael was ejected from that game by Angel Hernandez for criticizing Angel Hernandez. Now there is some controversy in that. Angel Hernandez says he never ejected Steve McMichael from that game. Oh, I'm sure that Finn skinned more on never did that. But what what had happened was first base umpire, umpire Randy Marsh, he said, I'll handle this to Angel because Angel was just staring daggers from home plate. Was he at first base with his, you know, what's in a wheelbarrow? Yeah, Randy Marsh. Yeah, that Randy Marsh. Exactly. So there's conflicting reports. Angel Hernandez, what we do know is he said, I'm going to toss him in Randy Marsh, probably said, no, I got this. And apparently, Mongo was removed from his suite after that. So he was ejected, but the cameras never caught Angel Hernandez directly doing it. But I will say this. Steve McMichael deserved to be in the Hall of Fame as a football player. He deserves to be in the baseball Hall of Fame for that seventh inning stretch right there. For knowing just how much Angel Hernandez sucked before everyone else. He's ahead of the curve, man. Right. He was a good like, I mean, Angel Hernandez really came into everybody's like purview when Twitter took off and people started criticizing him. We're talking like, that's at least 10 years before the launch of Twitter. And then probably 15 years before Twitter really became popular to criticize Angel Hernandez. He's a modern man. Mongo McMichael, Hall of Famer. Very good. And on this day, 2001, booed Angel Hernandez prior to singing the seventh inning stretch. If you ever give it a microphone and having the opportunity to boo Angel Hernandez, we are right. Yeah, it's fantastic. I went up and I looked up the end of that game. That game ended with a walk off single by Joe Girardi for the Cubs. Wait, what? Girardi was still playing? 2001 Joe Girardi hit a single. How soon was he managing after? And then he got caught in a rundown and he was caught in the rundown long enough for the winning run to score. And that's how the Cubs won that game. Screw you, Angel Hernandez. Cubs won. God, he was managing until then eight. Yeah, he's only 59. Good. That's a little bit surprise. Actually, goodness. The fact that Harbaugh is 60. Yeah, I guess it makes sense then. It all makes sense in that regard. I thought he was older than that. Yeah. I am. I'm all in. Thank you, Mongo. Thank you for that. All right. Coming up.

The Philadelphia Eagles started the season. Rip, Roan, start 10 and one and then fills it out like a stinky fart losing five of their final six games of the year and a lackluster finish all the way around by the Philadelphia Eagles. Something just didn't seem right. And I think what a lot of people pointed to was Shane Steichen, the offensive coordinator for their Super Bowl runner up season bolting for the Indianapolis Colts, Jonathan Gannon, the mastermind of their defense going and taking over as the head coach for the Arizona Cardinals. They had two major voids that they had to fill there. Yet they started 10 and one and nobody could really put a finger on how bad that finish really was for Philly. So much of the season screams now in hindsight when we were watching and fold that they won on talent because it was most talented roster probably in the NFL. And you can talk about Patrick Mahomes being best quarterback and fit and all those kind of things and coaching blah blah blah. But when just talking pure unadulterated talent, the Philadelphia Eagles winfully healthy most talent in the NFL. Well, that's why this year is one of those years where you sit there and you go, all right, you lose Jason Kelsey, you lose Fletcher Cox who are two of the anchors of your leadership of Philly. Those two guys retire step away from the game. Now you're looking at it going. Now they have not just coordinator voids to fill with Steichen and Gannon being two years removed, but also player leadership voids, which are huge in the NFL and huge as you're progressing through a season to find who steps up in that. They didn't have to worry about that for decades, decade with Kelsey and Cox. But now we're starting to see the cracks in the foundation may be a little bit larger than what we what we were led on to believe. It wasn't just Steichen and Gannon leaving. It wasn't just a couple of injuries here and there. There seemed to be a fracture between the head coach and the starting quarterback, which is never a good thing. No, and it's an awkward one. Tim McManus and Jeremy Fowler, ESPN, they have a very long, long, long piece on ESPN, highlighting just how it's not a, it's not a relationship where these guys are beating each other up and screaming at each other, yelling at each other. It's one where there's just no communication. I think there's no trust between the two of them. Yes, and that's there's there's a line in here that in the entirety, I bet you it jumped out to you too, was that the implication from one of the sources in the article that says is directly involved, which I would imagine is either somebody in the quarterback's room or somebody in the coach's room that said flat out that the Jalen Hurts doesn't believe that this potentially that Nick Siriani has the exes and o's ability to coach and run the offense and coach him. Yeah, I mean, that's up. What? Well, in it's Jalen does not give credit, give Nick enough credit. A lot of what we do, a lot of what we do well does stem from Nick. And there is a big hurdle that you need to clear. If your quarterback just doesn't trust your head coach and his ability, not just to lead, but to coach, but to like, actually acts as an o's wide. This sounds like Jalen Hurts them going full like couch psychologist here. This sounds like grounded in the in the in the weeds, militaristic Jalen Hurts does not believe in the water them, the water, the bamboo Nick Siriani. That's what this sounds like to me. Does that does that is that would the vibe that you're picking up from? Well, from what I have what I know of Jalen Hurts, first of all, he's a great young man off the field in an almost ever regard. But his father was his high school coach, who was a hardass kind of militaristic way that that he was raised and the way that he was coached. He then went on to play for Nick Saban, who runs a professional business, a a very regimented militaristic style of leadership that Nick Saban has, despite the fact he has these ness jokes, which may be that cheeky and fun military humor that you're talking about. But he goes from that to you. Water the bamboo. We're going to watch this flower grow a little hippie dippy. It's a little bit over the top motivator in Nick Siriani. And if you're built like that, typically, I can say you're closed minded, but you've been so embroiled in a culture. This is again, I don't like drawing these parallels because they're not the same, but there are certain strings you can pull leaving the military life and going to civilian life. It is a transition. It is very difficult because you are used to a structure, a lifestyle, and it's crazy and stupid and ridiculous as we are in the military. There is a regiment and in rigid, do not pass go, do not cross this line situation every single day. And if you start interjecting the flower power, water, the bamboo, the vast majority of those kind of people are not only going to reject it outright, they're going to laugh at you, say you're stupid, you're ignorant, you don't know what you're talking about, they're not going to take you seriously. And I think that's very, very, very much what we're dealing with. Well, in there are, there's a lot of quotes that are in here that are pretty telling of the relationship that Siriani and her tavern. Look, your head coach and your quarterback do not have to be best friends, but they do have to respect each other, see Bill Belichick in Tom Brady. There was story after story of those two guys not seeing eye to eye on a lot of different things, but they respected one another and their ability to prepare, their ability to lead and their ability to win. It feels like a lot of what is happening in Philly is there is a lack of accountability. And those two guys taking accountability, there's people within the building that are noted in this story of, you know, accusing Jalen Hertz of trying to play hero ball at the end of the year when they were in the middle of their skid and just saying, Nope, I'm not going to, I'm just going to do my own thing because I don't believe the direction that we're heading right now. There's also quotes in there of when Nick Siriani tried to take accountability heading into many camps this year of Jalen Hertz kind of chuckling when asked about it and saying, I guess we're going to have to see about that. Yeah, right. There's a fracture there. AJ Brown asked about, you know, the relationship and what's going on. He said, I was taught that if I have nothing good to say about something to not say anything at all, which if you're saying that, that doesn't seem like a what you should be saying there is it's fine. Yeah. Yeah. The fact that this is getting out and that it is this that is this detailed and there's this many sources means it's bad. It's not great. It's like, this is Siriani's going to get fired the second things go sideways. Yeah. That's what this is. Look, I think he knows that too because you go from Shane Steichen in the wealth of talent that they haven't looked. They are still a very talented roster in Philly in a very winnable division. They could win the division with having this fracture between their head coach and their starting quarterback because that's how talented their roster is. But you go from Shane Steichen to Ben Johnson and then now this year they've hired Kellen Moore as their offensive coordinator. Cowboys fans not thrilled with Kellen Moore as a ROC. Chargers fans not thrilled with Kellen Moore as a ROC. And now you go into Philly and what they are hoping is that the relationship between Kellen Moore and Jalen Hertz can kind of supersede the relationship that Siriani has with Hertz. And then that's the thing about this that it's interesting is that Siriani has taken his hands completely off the wheel almost offensively. There's mentions here of Siriani not even really being involved with the offense as much as just being on a walkie talkie and feeding information back and forth and hopping kind of between station and station, much like you talk about with Dan Lanning, but even to the point of like actively avoiding Jalen Hertz. Like that seems like a recipe for a disaster. Maybe I'm wrong, but that seems like a very, very, very, very bad thing. Yeah. And look, these things can happen when you have two ultra competitive men in a football locker room. Butting heads, it's going to happen. If you are not having any sort of conflict, you're not moving in the right direction. But you have to have two sides that are willing and able to get over the conflict. And when a season doesn't go your way, because look, I mean, this is the crazy thing about it. It's like, Bill Belichick in Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes in Andy Reid, they have not, they didn't win Super Bowls every single year that they're together. Yet you will have a season where you're not standing on the mountaintop. How dare you. And when that happens, it is, all right, how do we progress and how do we move forward? It appears that it is Sirioni's going, I'm going to give Hertz his space. I'm going to let him do his thing and try to make him happy by just saying, all right, you and your offensive coordinator, you and your quarterbacks coach, you guys go and you will do the offense. I'm just going to take this leadership role because Sirioni apparently more hands-on than what Jalen Hertz wanted him to be because he didn't believe in him in his acumen as an exes nose guy, as you said, right? So if they can get over that, they don't have to like each other. They have to be able to work together. And if they can't do that, the guy that's going to go is Nick Sirioni because Jalen Hertz has his money now. And now you have the franchise is connected to Jalen Hertz long term. It's going to be Sirioni who's on the way out and he's going to be the one that has to give more ground than Jalen Hertz does. The way every point of this shapes up to me is I don't see a way where this makes sense going forward. It can be. I think it can be. How many relationships that are this fracture where there's been distrust between the two most important figures in your organization on the field? Well, you have to be able to, well, the Patriots and they won. Was there distrust or disdain or dislike? Because I think distrust is very different. There was distrust because Brady thought that Belichick wanted him gone. The whole Jimmy Garoppolo. Sure. And then Robert Kraft went over Belichick's head and traded and gave the green light for the trade for Jimmy, right? I understand that part of it. But he never distrusted Belichick in the sense of like, he doesn't know what he's doing in the field. Because Sirioni is significantly more successful, but the line that I'm drawing immediately is to McDaniel. And I think what I think what we could have here though is if you have a situation where Sirioni removes himself from the offensive preparation and game planning because that's worse. Well, I don't because if that's the problem that hurts has, and it appears that that's what it was when Shane Steichen left and Ben Johnson took over or not Ben Johnson. God, Ben Johnson's in Detroit. The other, the former Utah guy. Oh my gosh, I am too. But when you have him take over and he didn't, Sirioni didn't trust him fully. And so he was more hands on. If you can just hand it back over to Hertz and his offensive coordinator and quarterback coach and say that relationship can carry our offense, then I think you can get over it and be successful. Because it appears that Hertz was just upset with the fact that Sirioni was way too involved offensively. It's going to take both of them though to give a little ground. And it appears that Sirioni is giving a lot of ground by just saying, I'm going to stay away from the offense. Can Hertz give that ground too? Because they have to have some heart to hearts that they need to go through. And it doesn't appear that either one of them are willing to build that relationship back up. And if that is the case, then I'm with you. I don't think they can do it. And this is again, the arm choice psychologist where if you give somebody like Hertz, I'm not saying he's a bad guy. And I'm not saying he's right or wrong. But if you give somebody the militaristic person who's not who's kind of refusing to change, who he is or what he's doing, if you continue to just give them everything. Brian Johnson, I knew it was going to come. Sorry. That's okay. But if you continue to give them everything, it's it's a kind of a creeping philosophy. Well, they'll just continue to take and take and take and take and take and take and take and take and that's kind of where I wonder. I'm like, this seems like Sirioni is like, you watch the show scrubs, you've seen the gift of Sarah Chalki digging your own grave and like piling their honor. That's Nick Sirioni right now. Like that's that's what I see. I'm like, I don't. I think going this path is bad for him. Yeah, like giving giving some ground and seating some control, not an issue. Holy stepping aside, me like, all right, you do your own thing. And because that's that's not just seating control. It's going to be like, well, no, that's, you know, that's a it's a genuine thing to do. And it shows the cares. Like, if you're a CEO of a company, you don't tell your, you know, general manager, you go ahead and run things the way you see fit. Right. You're the CEO. 100%. So there's, that's a little weird to me. It's no, this whole thing is like, I don't, I don't see how this works. I genuinely don't. I thought it was interesting. There was a tidbit in there that when, when Shane Steichen left, that hurts, believed that when Ben or Brian Johnson took over, it would be the same kind of thing where they could have their, they just have their own meetings and they, they'd do their own thing. And then he was really caught off guard. That Sirioni didn't trust Brian Johnson, the same way that he trusts Shane Steichen. If that, and that says a lot about your head coach, if you hire or promote a guy to be an offensive coordinator and you don't trust him for that job, it's like, then why are you giving him that job at all? Exactly. And that's where Hertz had a gripe. I mean, and this is why I also think Philly's going to, Philly's going to go and they're going to side with Jalen Hertz at the end of the day. They got to have it. Yeah, Sirioni's coaching for his job, and I don't know how long he's going to have it. If, if this thing, if this relationship continues down the path that it is, but Philly, not good, not good at all. This is coming out into week two and training camp is problematic. To say the least, this is, this is kind of writing the, the death sentence before the, the body's turned cold. Yeah. All right. One more team is out on the sweepstakes for a high end talent next on the fan. Another suitor has bowed out of the Brandon, I use sweepstakes. And it is the New England Patriots. No more. No more. Yeah, it turns out, Brandon, I, not, not, not wanting to go New England. I wonder why I don't want to be triple covered. I don't want to be triple covered in playing for an offense that doesn't know who their quarterback is going to be by week three and has zero offensive line. Oh, when you're a hard pass, but it's not just about the money because they were willing to get willing to give him the money. And this is where it's getting a little tricky for Brandon and I. All right. So what we know and what we talked about yesterday, the commanders and the Steelers had bowed out of the sweepstakes according to Matt Mayoko of NBC Sports Bay area. He said both the commanders and Steelers said the asking price was too high, uh, which would be a receiver and a pick for I you and you have to pay him whatever he wants. Okay. They said, no, that's a little bit too high. Both of them by report said that Steelers then all of a sudden were back to being a player in this conversation at some point later yesterday afternoon because of the fact that, um, maybe they took a look around their receiver and said, one more guy would be nice. One more guy would be nice. And so they were trying to massage it. Super useful. The Browns and the Patriots were the two teams that were left with San Francisco, according to Mayoko in having those conversations. Well, now that New England is out, that leaves us with Cleveland and maybe Pittsburgh or he stays in San Francisco. And this is why it's sticky is that San Francisco is like, Hey man, we'll give you what is it? The 26, 26 and a half. We'll give you that, but we can't afford to go any higher and you're win here. You know you're going to win here, but we can't go any higher than that. If you're looking at the Patriots who are like, we'll give you what you want, but you want to win. Now maybe the ball is back in San Francisco's court a little bit more of, Hey dude, we, we told you you can go and negotiate these deals. You can go find somebody that wants you, but I don't think we're, you're going to find anything that's sweeter than deal we have here. Yeah, it's, for whatever reason, I don't know, call it a gut feeling. I think he ends up at Pittsburgh. I think he does. I, as much as San Francisco, look, Lynch has been done an incredible job in San Francisco. But there comes a point when you strong arm and you strong arm and you strong arm, you get to the point where you end up losing. And as much as they can say, well screw it, we'll just have you play here under the $13 million that you're going to make this year and then you just walk at the year. That's not good for them either. If they can get a first round pick out of him, well, I don't think you're getting the first out of any team. Well, it means again. Yeah. That was the reported. This was the first in a wide receiver, which I'd never believe was going to happen. But if you get a, let's say a second round pick and a good receiver, let's say the Cleveland deal is there. Let's say you think you're probably looking at more like a third if you're giving up a receiver. Okay. But you're getting a marketing, you're getting a pick in a player that you think will be serviceable for you in the third, second or third round. Yeah. I mean, is Mark Huber a good player? Yeah, absolutely is. Like, as much as you want to focus this year, this year, this year, this year, you, you are going to be reft of all assets eventually with the way that they have gone. They just, they're just going to run out of space for stuff. And if you can get something out of IU as opposed to just this year, I don't know how you don't do that. No. Yeah. Yes. That is in say we need something for the long term. They, they, and that's why they want to pick. They want to pick because there's, they draft so well. Yeah. And there's the reason why they're in the predicament that they're in is because they've drafted so well, so many drafts in a row that they're having to make tough decisions on guys. And they're going to continue to have to do that. Yeah. And I don't think that you can sit, it was like, well, the 49ers in this great position because they have all the leverage. It's like, I don't think they do. I think they do in that, if they know that their run is going to be, their window is starting to close up because if you're going to have to play, pay Brock Birdie, then you're going to have to make some real tough decisions down the road. If there is that one year window, because that's what you want, you want to get, you want to hoist a Lombardi, right? And Brandon, I, you kids, the guy that can do that for you, then you win that Super Bowl. And what do they always say guys that buys that win Super Bowl, you can go ahead and get veterans are going to come and play for a little bit cheaper. They're going to, we're seeing it in Kansas City. Guys will boomerang back around when the grass isn't always greener on the other side because you have the quarterback, you have the head coach, you have a front offset draft, well, develops their players really well, veterans will be like, well, if I'm going to ring chase, San Francisco looks like a pretty sweet deal to me. So if they, if they're just hinging on, we got some bad breaks last year, mainly, you know, debaux fracturing is his shoulder and McCaffrey getting dinged up at the wrong times of the season, and we can get over that hump. That's Super Bowl could have gone either way, remember, we could have seen that Super Bowl go either way, you know, and they just say, if we get over the hump and we have one year of I.U. that sets us up for the future, I agree with you in that if you're San Francisco, 100%, you'd want to get something out of him instead of just watching him walk for free later. And I think that as much as we all focus on the now, the now, the now, and you can't always worry about the future, I think it's general manager of the 49ers at John Lynch has to do both. Yeah, I think he has to continue to do both. And I think the do both here is getting a player back in return, whether it's Pickens or whether it's Cooper, and then a third round plus pick. And even if it's not the value that you want, sometimes when you're in these situations, you it's this isn't a situation where I.U. is the only thing the 49ers have. This isn't the Panthers with McCaffrey, right, where it was like, well, their entire offense is built around this one guy. Yep. And if you get rid of him, well, there goes everything. Yeah, I think where San Francisco maybe feels comfortable, though, is that they have all of their picks moving forward. They have an additional third round pick next year. That's a compensatory, isn't it? Yep. Because the Demico Ryan's being hired by the Houston Texans, they got an extra third round pick for developing a minority coach who ends up going and getting hired somewhere. And so there's it's it may feel a little bit different if they are still handing over picks for Christian McCaffrey, right? Or for plants. And so now they're they probably feel pretty comfortable with our track record is really damn good. We can reload, which is why I would want the additional draft. Yeah, you would want more out of that. Yeah. But if you're sitting there and looking at a roster that says, if we don't have a player of IUC's caliber, we don't win a Super Bowl this year. I think maybe they are. I think they can still. Yeah. That's ultimately where I follow them. Maybe they can't. But it's always better to have those players. No, it is. It is. I'm with you with if the Mario Cooper and a pick from Cleveland is on the table. Yeah. Yeah. Because you can win a Super Bowl with a Mario Cooper being your third or fourth target. I mean, I was always a guy on him when it came to Mario Cooper. I was like, man, if he was your number two, and if he's your three or four, I think you're a really good, really good spot. Yeah. And it's one of those situations. Vancouver for a text on 5038646326. Your dollar goes further. Vancouver for it. They treat right before during and after the deal. Not just wide receiver room need. It's the leverage. That's why we got back in. He wants to play for Pittsburgh. He doesn't want to play for both New England or Cleveland. Now we're just betting against ourselves. That's why that's why Pittsburgh. And this is why I think that texture saying on the Pittsburgh. Yeah. I ain't Washington is in the same boat where they're pulling back saying, we're going to be fine. If they get desperate and he's hitting, he starts sitting out. I think that's what there could be a player in this and say, we're not going to give you a receiver and a pick. We'll give you a pick though. And that's why when that that story came out of the day when it was, you know, Kendrick born in the first and a Maricupa in the first, I was like, there's no way in hell those options are on the table because if they were, they would have packed his stuff for him. Well, they were on the table, but it all hinges on I you being able to negotiate a long term deal with that. Well, the Browns were willing to and apparently the Patriots said, yeah, we're out. We're out on this. So maybe those conversations still happening with Cleveland and well, he becomes a brown singer rather than later. Cleveland, Pittsburgh, New England, watch and all call each other. Hey, you know what? We don't normally do this, but Screw John Lynch. We all going to just collectively just drop our offers. Yeah. Okay. Just just colluding against him just so that there isn't a market. Yeah. Well, if there isn't, then guess what? Lynch is going to be comfortable because he's done it three times before of saying, fine, sit out. That's what I mean. Fine. Sit out. What happens when you find that guy because it's happened before when that guy says, okay, it doesn't happen often. It doesn't happen often. But you know what, Brandon Iuch, one thing we're learning, he likes money. He's going to have to pay a lot of money. He's going to have to pay a lot of money, not to be. And again, it doesn't happen often. Yeah. But when it does, and look, it doesn't sit well in other locker rooms where when you have a guy who's like, you have a window, all of these guys are trying so desperately to be on a contender. And you're on a contender. And you never talk about another man's money. And you let him do his thing. But it's like, and that's the other part of it. You have a window where it's time to win. And all of these guys want to win and you can do it. It may not sit well with some other teams too. Just again, I think that for all of the leverage for everybody's side, I think it gets very dicey for all parties involved the longer this goes, particularly on the, I should say, all parties on the 49er side of things. So I think, well, I know I think on the, I think all parties involved. I think both the 49ers and Brandon Knights, the longer this thing goes, it gets worse for both. It gets worse for both sides, which is why I was, I think they need to find them in any medical solution. If you're a Niners fan, you're just like, get it done. I don't care what way it goes. Just give me a damn answer, please. It's a Damian Lillard trade season. You're going, I just want to know what the final result is, and then we can move forward. Because we're all going to do the mental gymnastics of Brandon and I, he's going to be fine. The Niners are going to be fine, and it'll, everybody's going to stick the landing. Yeah. So until they all cream in the side of the mountain. All right, come up with a worse on the web. Hey, that naked guy you saw running across the street, don't let him into your car. One mate. Mm.

Unfortunately, if you've been around our office here, the downtown Pearl District area still we have. We've found needles, we've found piles of human poop, we've seen actual open drug use, naked people and sexual acts being committed in the middle of the street while driving home. That was Tuesday. It's Portland gets interesting. We are not alone in this endeavor, apparently, as my God, the Brits, they know how to do, they know how to do headline. Bear naked bandit hijacks car in Iowa and runs over owner before plowing into tree all caught on camera. Bear naked bandit. Not to be confused with Bear naked. When did this happen? Was it one week ago? Yes. That's my job. Lost a step in your old age, Pally. Wow. Yeah. Maybe he was looking for his old department. I hope this. I hope this was over woman. No, I hope the headline, the article starts. It's been one week. Unfortunately, it's a man from Des Moines has been arrested after allegedly hitting a man with his own car while attempting to hijack the vehicle completely naked. Why don't you lock your door? If you're hijacking the car, it's like, no, naked man, door locked. Look, I will say this. At least you know he's not having a weapon. I don't know if I mentioned this story on the earth. I know I've told you this story about the naked guy in the middle of the street when the way home. Was it a couple of months ago? Yeah. A couple of blocks away. This is why I brought this up. It's literally happened to me. There was a naked guy holding his junk trying to get into cars, trying to get in the car in front of me. And then it came up to me and I was going to literally run him over. I don't know if he saw the look in my eye of like, you know, I'm going to run you over or he just made a smart life choice. But he reached for the door and then opted to kind of do the pullback. The drugs may be cleared his system for a split second. Well, maybe he realized that you're not as uber. Yeah, definitely not as uber. But yeah, not. This is getting super in the weeds. There's a tunnel or an off ramp in Nebraska in Omaha that is actually. I would say we are way far in the weeds now that we've ventured into Nebraska. It is infamous for carjackings. Oh, really? Because of the way it like comes together. There's no way to get out of it. You're kind of sandwiched in. You hit that late at night. You were opening yourself up to a carjacking and a buddy of mine's wife. It happened to who is stationed out there. And this is kind of the same thing where like, I started to do like, how many cars don't self lock when you put it in gear? Yeah. Or, I mean, in this case, like the guy took the driver out and then hopped in the driver's seat. Was he at no point when a naked man comes up to my vehicle, am I like, you know what? I'm gonna get out and see what this guy's got going on. I'll maybe crack the window and just be like, Hey, man, wear your clothes at pal. Or I will just drive off. That's what I'm going to do is I'm just going to drive off it. The naked guy comes running up. It's it's something. I mean, it's quite honest here. I mean, when they say naked guy, they mean totally naked guy. And the whole thing's kind of film because somebody's just on the street filming like this whole situation. Yeah. And there's a guy sitting at a parking spot and the guy just jumps into the like, opens the driver's door, jumps in the car. Driver sucks him in the face. Yeah. That's it. Oh, wow. Yeah. See, why did you even open up the car though? Naked guy puts it in reverse, runs over, dude. Yeah, with his own car. Yeah. Oh, man. Not fun. That's not good at all. And then drives off with car. Yeah, naked. And if you're wondering what the guy looks like, that's a hell of a drug. The guy that you're picturing in your head, it's him. Yeah, dude. It's 100% him. Oh, man. It's not a, well, you know, maybe they look like so and so. No, no, it's exactly the guy you're picturing. Man, who knew Des Moines? Des Moines, carjacking. I mean, you think you're safe somewhere? Oh, no. I mean, the meth is really good in the Midwest. All right. It says, it's all take your word for that. And apparently there, you don't need a license to sell hot dogs, either. This guy's just out there doing it before he takes the car. Yeah. Wow. Somebody's, Vancouver, Vancouver for Texline, Charles Manson, without the tattoos. Kind of. Yeah, he does. It's, it's, it's very much of like, hmm, I don't know what you're doing here. You know, there's some places where public nudity is completely legal. This fine city is one of them. Ashland is, is one of them. Oh, I thought you were going to say Des Moines. No, they're not. But we do have a naked bike ride here in Portland. That's true. But in Ashland, it was a shock to my system. In the summer, there was a, a group of nudists that would come out and they'd play tennis. They just played tennis, just in the new, and we'd be going in for, for like, work out, say only came out in the summertime. That's the only time I ever saw a good tennis. We're going to keep that second ball for the second serve. Well, you would be surprised. No, just on the side, just on the side, but we went in for weights and they were just sitting there, bucket naked, playing tennis right behind the, right behind the stadium in the weight room. All the sports to play could, could, could you think of anything that puts it more all on display than tennis? I'm, I'm here to tell you it. No, I cannot imagine. You open it up. You do the splits. You get the full extension. A lot of range of motion going on. Yeah. Right. Yeah. A lot of stopping and starting. Yeah. If you're wondering, no, they were not hot. Mm hmm. Sick. All of them 60 plus. Oh, God. Yeah. There's a good group of them. A lot of angle to the dangle. Yeah. So now I know where they keep that second ball. That's right. You know, it was under the mouth. It was like, and then you just scurry on in, but they don't have that tennis court anymore. So I'm wondering where they're playing their tennis now. I'm not going to be ages, but they're there to be totally fair. There are different rules to how naked you beat. You can be depending on how hot you are. No, I don't think so. There are. I think you get to a certain age where you just, you just throw that out the door. Oh, yeah. I don't know. I mean, you're good, but I'm talking in general. Like, yeah, if you're stupid, hot and you're just walking down the street naked, some people might object to it, but you're not getting phone calls. Like 911's not getting lit up. I don't think, yeah, this guy, like this guy, your McGillicuddy. Yeah. 911's been called multiple times at this point. Yeah, he's not. Yeah, not it, man. Not it. There was an article I was going to read, they kind of in that same vein. There's a rather large bin who's been running shirtless. I can't remember what city it was, who's been somebody who's repeatedly called 911 for indecent exposure on him. No, I think he got arrested. Yeah, he doesn't know sure. Yeah, screw that, neighbor. Yeah. You know what? Let that guy run. Guys out there trying to better himself, getting in some better shape. What's wrong with you? You know what? Sometimes when you're a large bin, you sweat a lot. So, you know what? That's the same neighbor that calls the police on a meat eater because they're vegan and they don't like the smell of meat. That's the same neighbor that everybody loves the smell. Everybody loves the smell and the lemonade stand. Yes. Yes. Everybody loves the smell of a barbecue. Yes. Everybody. Stop. Just because you can't handle it, get out of it. You know, maybe what Karthi was right? Maybe they're a communist. The vegans? Well, the ones that don't like the smell of meat, that's how you can actually tell if they're American. Sure. Sure. No? Yeah. I'm with you on that. No, speak. I think that should be part of the citizenship test. Speaking of American, what does the American section of a Parisian fresh grocery store look like? Danny Dusty, Danny the fan. Now let's see, would you even go to the grocery store? You've got your nationality sections up and down the grocery store. I frequent to the Asian and the Mexican. Those are pretty much right in my pocket. I love that they put them in the same aisle because I can just go down and grab basically everything. Can't say that I remember a time when they flashed a French one other than like a baguette. Yeah, you go to international markets and they got they'll have like their little sections there. Yeah. But I don't frequent those very often. I mean, the French one doesn't stand out, but the American section of a fancy French grocery store. Of course, this is being painted because of what's going on with the Olympics. And it's um, it's disturbing. What is what's weird to me is that people are getting very offended by this and saying that this isn't what American grocery stores are. The American section in this French grocery store, this bougie French grocery store has a lot of marshmallow paste, two types of corn syrup, peanut butter, bunch of candies, sour candy, brown sugar, and beef jerky. And like the people that are offended by it, I'm not that offended by it. I think that they're not that far off. They went gas station. Yeah, but you know what? They're on some Pringles and hot dogs and you're there. Well, they have hot dogs in a they have like pickled hot dogs, like sausages in jars of water. Yeah. The other one that's what they're going with. Cool ranch Doritos. They're just called American over there. Oh, like Canadian bacon here. Yeah. From pigs from Canadian. It's American. It's American flavor. Huh. Well, and you want to know why you can't find the French section of American grocery stores. That works too. Because we put ranch on so many things. And we're the only country that does. No, to back up Casey Holdall, ranch should be the official condiment of the US. Yeah, you got a lot of ground to make up on ketchup though. But I mean, it's but you're not wrong. It's it's ranch. Yeah, it is ranch. You know, every kid loves ranch on everything. Yeah, it's it dare. I say it might be more American than bacon. My son puts ranch on like teriyaki chicken and rice loves it. And I'm I don't know why he does it. The reflex that I just had. It sounds disgusting, doesn't it? Oh my God. He's like, Dad, you gotta try it. No, I won't. No. Nope. I just got that. You know, when that stage you get. Right. That's the only way he eats teriyaki chicken rice. I'm watering right now. I felt close. I just got to puking. Yeah. You know, you know, you know, when you do that, that yawn, when you're about to throw up. Yeah, that I I was a just millisecond away from puking on air. Yeah, try being the dad who goes to like a bento place and is like, do you have ranch? And they're like, no, they're like, for the salad? Yeah, no, they don't have it even for their salad. They're like, they have the ginger dress. I always have to tell, I'm like, buddy, they're not going to have it. He's like, we just ask you. Do you have ranch? Nope. Okay, told you eat your damn bento. Oh my God. Yeah. Yeah. Ranch is it. But a lot of people are saying that this is unfair and stereotyping American culture. It's like, Oh, so you think that like, the Mexican section of a grocery store is the clear indicator of all Mexican grocery stores. Yeah. You're giving three shelves. No, no, no. You're giving no stop. I'm giving three shelves back. You don't have just refried beans and hot sauce at filling up every grocery store in Mexico. I've been to a lot of grocery stores in Mexico, and they're very similar to the offerings that are on hand. Oh, stop. To be fair, Fred Meyer also has a very long aisle of offerings. Okay. Just throwing that out there. All right. Just, you know, I'm looking at this at this picture, though. It is pretty terrible. It's also the pancake mix, cheesecake mix, which I thought was really interesting. A lot of Hershey syrup. Yeah, they just think that we're just fat and love sugar, which they're not wrong. I mean, spot the light people. You want to get upset about it? Don't have what is the ad on the you're on the SI website right now. Scroll back up. What does that ad you got there? An Oscar Meyer hot dog injected with cheese. Yeah. Gooey goodness. Oscar Meyer. That's the advertisement on the website that has this story of people saying this isn't this isn't a it's a glizzy gliding across the screen. Yeah. It's like this is an unfair depiction of American cuisine. No, it's not, the ad on your website pretty much is backing up the French grocery store right now. In the French, they're mad because you want to know why we don't have the French section at the grocery store. They gave it up. That's right. White flag surrender. Like, okay, what would you think a French grocery store would be back? Yes. Yeah. Brie cheese. Escargot. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it's just a lot of a lot of coordinates of cheese, wine, olives. Yeah. And they'd probably be like, ah, how dare they? Well, guess what? You eat more cheese than Americans do. Yeah. They got the three, they got the three bees. They got Brie baguettes and Bordeaux. Yeah. I think that they're actually knocking out of the charts. Beef jerky in this SI article, beef jerky is a revelation to the French people. They love it. Yeah. Like they they're like, how did how did we not know this? It's like, well, you know, we were actually forced to make beef jerky. We're just drying out all of the meat that we were killing as we were expanding Westward. Yeah. Yeah. Cuz we're not bad. We got to stumbled into this one. Yeah. We figured out smoking before refrigeration. A lot of salt. He's just a lot of salt. To me, there's just too many sweets in this. I don't I don't think of the US as sweets when I think of food. I think more. Did you see the cotton candy burrito that got unveiled the other day? No, see, but I think like when I think of like the ballpark food, it's it's so much more of the salty, so much more of the savory. That's I think more savory when I think of American food in general. It's a dusty, feverishly googling the cotton candy burrito. No, no, no, no, no. I'm just looking up the sugar consumption by the United States comparative to the world. It is going to be higher because we do eat more sweets than anyone else, which is exactly why the French grocery stores think that. Yeah. I mean, in United States is the biggest consumer of sugar in the globe. According to sources, the country's per capita sugar consumption is 126.4 grams daily. That translates to 10 times the lowest recommended intake of 11 grams per day. 11 grams of sugar per day. That's in my toothpaste. The second largest consumer is Germany at 102.9. And all there is is just alcohol sugars. For one. And we're in the chocolate bars. We're at 126. The next closest is 102. And then the Netherlands at 102.5. So I think that they're being fair. I understand what you're saying here because we are a sweet and savory country here. We are sweet and savory. And apparently, like soul food is catching the eye of French people. Well, yeah, because you know what, it has Creole ties to it. Yeah, well, not just that. And when you go to the south and you go to Louisiana and you have the hybrid of southern comfort food and Creole food, there's a French flair to it. But there's also like the French, they do baking better than damn near everyone. They should. They do. But they're food. It's not as good as everybody lends you to believe. I spent the fair amount of time in France. Food's good. It's better than England. But it's like it's it's sandwiched in between that's setting the bar. Yeah, I know. But it's sandwiched in between Germany and France, who both do food better. So chill, France. All right, come here next. This next quarterback class is shaping up to be a little bit less inspiring than the class that we just had to go to the NFL, particularly as it pertains to Shador Sanders. There are multiple NFL executives, evaluators and scouts have been given the the glass of anonymity to talk about Shador Sanders and what expectations could or should be for him at Colorado in his development going for it. But get to that and more coming up on our number three on Danny Nusti. Temp check. What kind of summer are we having this year?

I'm number three here on all Wednesday afternoon on Danny and Dusty, whether you're listening on 1080am, watching along on youtube.com/1080amthefan or twitch.tv/1080amthefan. We appreciate you. We love you. Thanks for hanging out. Thanks for sharing some time with us today. It's a good day here. I'm a good day, tater. To Great Rastlin Wednesday. It is a great rastlin Wednesday. Oh, especially with the Astros trying to get the Silver Boot, which I didn't know was a thing. I think you just made that up. I didn't. I found this out today. This is the last game of the between the Rangers and the Astros this year, which seems early. Yes, seventh. Feels like a regional... Do you feel like that should be the end of the year? If it's not the last series, it should be one of the final three series. Yeah, but apparently they play for a Silver Boot. I had no idea. Doesn't somebody in college football play for a Silver Boot? No, probably. This is very college football. Leave it to taxes to be like, how can we college football up this baseball? You know, one thing I didn't know existed in college football, and as far as the rivalry awards, Colorado State and Air Force. They have the Ram Falcon. Yeah, that sounds about right. Could you wait, is it a Falcon with Ram horns? No, because if it is, now we're talking. No, it's just it's like a Ram. Ram what's talent? No, no, no, it's a Ram like being attacked by a Falcon. Just call it the Ram Falcon trophy. I'm like, you couldn't get more creative than that? No, I'm on board with it. We need more trophies in college. I think every game should be a trophy game. Every single one. I mean, the fact that Oregon and Oregon State, they need to play for the platypus trophy every year. That needs to be a bigger deal. The platy. Yeah, the platypus trophy needs to be, I think. Oregon, Washington, they need some sort of trophy that they need to play for, because now it's your Thanksgiving weekend rivalry. It's the last game of the regular season for both of them. They need trophies that they're playing for here. The dusky? Especially when you are in the Big Ten, because every damn game is a trophy game in the Big Ten. You've got a pig, you've got a spatoon, you've got Paul Bunyan's axe. Who's got the spatoon? Uh, I think that is, I don't know, I don't know. It's Iowa and Minnesota, Minnesota and Wisconsin, maybe? I had a spatoon once. I don't know. Like an actual, like, dive-in-the-world spatoon. All right. It's terrifying. Did you use it a lot? Oh, yeah. All right. No, we kept it out on-- That sounds gross, dude. No, we kept it out on the patio. Uh, in tech school. All right. Like, uh, it was like a motel-style barracks. So we had, like, the big open walkways in front of all the rooms. All right, here we go. Oh, it's Indiana, Michigan state. They play for the old brass spatoon. See, that doesn't make any sense. I don't associate a big old Shaw with either of those schools. Why not, though? Um, whatever. It's-- you play the-- for the Iowa and Minnesota, play for the Floyd of Rosedale, which is a pig. You have Iowa and Wisconsin play for a golden bull. That's pretty dope. You have Paul Bunyan's axe. That's great. That is a-- That's one of the better trophies in college football. Yeah. Paul Bunyan's axe is Minnesota and Wisconsin. You have the Paul Bunyan trophy, which is Michigan to Michigan state. Not a Paul Bunyan here. We're getting a lot of Paul Bunyan. You have-- Indiana's got some sneaky good ones. They got a lot of spare time. Indiana perdue. They play for, like, a barrel, just a keg. Okay. That's pretty dope. Is it loaded? No, it's not. But you need to have it. I sense a future topic. Ooh. Voting on the-- do we do a bracket? Of best rivalry trophies? Yeah. I mean, the golden hat is pretty dope, too, for-- I think we might need to do a bracket. Yeah. You can buy some of these rivalry trophies. 75 bucks. You can buy Paul Bunyan's axe. I think all I'm thinking is bracket. Yeah. Yeah. I am, too. This is pretty sweet. This feels like I might need to do some research tonight and come up with-- how many-- 32? You can buy the old brass platoon. Like an actual-- You can buy a replica. Yeah. A replica of their trophy. I'd love to just buy theirs. No, you can't do that. Come on, man. Be funny. Sell it back to you if it's 40. Yeah. Geez. That's pretty sweet. We need more. We need more trophies in college. What are we doing? We do bracket 32? Sure. Yeah. Let's do it. Okay. Yeah. I'll put it together. This is stupid enough that I will spend time doing it. I like that. I like it. That's a thing that I enjoy doing. Yeah. This is good. I'm on board. Okay. I'm on board. It keeps going back. Big 10. Big 10. Big 10, I think, is going to win this as far as like where the winner comes from. But there might be a dark horse somewhere in the country. Yeah. I mean, the golden chaletli or whatever they call it. Jewel chaletli. Yeah. The jeweled chaletli. USC Notre Dame. That's a pretty good one. That's pretty cool. It's a stupid stick with a bunch of jewels on it. It sounds like something some random dude would name his unit. The jeweled chaletli? Check out the old jeweled chaletli. And where you got going on down there. Whoa, whoa, whoa. You can bedazzle. A couple of Prince Albert's. Well, Lamet and Lewis and Clark, they play for a wagon wheel. That's pretty good. That's a wagon wheel game. And it's like, it's one of the oldest rivalries west of the Mississippi rivers. Two D3 teams. Can I just say? I love it. Willamet is actually the oldest school west of the Mississippi. Yeah. I love it when we have, when we talk about things. And we qualify it with east or west of the Mississippi. Yeah. There's just something very folksy about that. There's a lot of ground to cover between the Mississippi river and the west coast. Significantly more. And it's always like, well, you know, west of the Mississippi, I'm like, oh, you mean most of the country. Well, geographically speaking. Yes. Population wise, different. I think it's caught up. Okay. Why do Florida and Miami play for the Seminole War canoe? Shouldn't Florida State be part of that? Yeah, wait, they are the Seminoles. Yeah. Well, I mean, yes, I mean, let's face it. When in the time in the history of this country, have they ever cared about what the natives think? Well, true. But also maybe because both schools hate Florida State, that's why they do it. Yeah. Boise State and Fresno State play for a milk can. Boy, Fresno State has got some lowbrow trophies. They play for a milk can and an oil can. How does Jim Harbaugh not been a part of this? Where's the AA battery rank in there? That's a good question. Vancouver Fort Decks line. West Virginia should play Marshall for their hottest first or second cousin. Boy, we got a battle on our hands then. That's tough. Yeah. I mean, you got to use like a 23 and me to decipher. Maybe you could just have like West Virginia Marshall play for the family tree trophy and it's just a stick. It's a straight line. It's just a stick with no branches. It's a broom handle. That's mean. Well, you know, that's mean. If the broom fits. All right, come here and play for the gene pool and it's just a little tiny puddle. That is so mean. It's contained. Bucket of water. Coming up next. Taking a look at Shadoor Sanders and how he fits, strengths, weaknesses, and evaluating what he can or can't do this year to elevate this class of quarterbacks. Coming up on Danny and Dusty, Danny and the fan. See, today is August 7th. Ooh, yeah. You're 20 days comfortable? August 27th is the first game, right? For the Ducks? No, no, August 31st. The first college football game, though, is I think we're 15 days away. It is on a-- August 24th. Thursday. Wait, we don't have a Thursday game to kick it off? Week zero regular season for Division One FBS football. Booh. On August 24th. All right. Delaware State and Hawaii. That sucks. Is the first-- No, 9 a.m. Florida State Georgia Tech. In Dublin. Actually, I was in Dublin. Yeah. Dang. That's a lot longer than I thought. So we are still 20 days or not 20 days? Nope. I can't imagine. 17 days. 17 days. There you go. Less than three weeks away. Yeah, less than three weeks. Let's go. I'm excited for this college football season. I think we've got so many with the new conferences and the conference realignment finally coming into play. I just can't wait for it to all get started. There's a ton of storylines. There's a million things we worked out. We had day bar two on the other day. Monday talking about from college football matrix. He threw out a hot take that I went. Ooh. Colorado. Defining to door sanders. Open up against North Dakota State. A very, very, very good North Dakota State team. Yeah, and this will be interesting because now we're in the third iteration of North Dakota State to-- Actually, the fourth iteration of North Dakota State because they've lost coach to Wyoming. They lost to coach Kansas State. Now they lose the coach to USC, who took over as an assistant defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. This is where you start going. How far is the depth in the bullpen of coaches at North Dakota State? But it is a powerhouse FCS program. Yes, and there was a line the bar two through in there that definitely made my eyebrows go up. If Colorado loses to North Dakota State, I believe they'll go 0 and 12. Now, I haven't gone that far, but we've talked about the fact that the wheels could come off this thing real early if they struggle with North Dakota State and when reality is they are talented enough to beat North Dakota State, even with all the dysfunction that's surrounding that program. Just between Shador and Travis Hunter. You have enough talent to win that game, but then you go, if that one is close, then you go on the road to Nebraska. And this Nebraska team is going to be far different than the one that they eked out last year. Then you go on the road to Colorado State, which is a double overtime game last year. And you're looking at that war of attrition. They do not have depth because all of the guys that they brought in, most of them are gone from a year ago, and they still have the same depth problems that they had a year ago. As the season wears on, they're not going to get stronger. They're going to get weaker. We saw that last year in Pac-12 play. You entered the big 12 this year, which doesn't have the top end talent, like Oregon or Washington. But boy, is there a lot of good talent? There is a lot of depth there. Kansas State is going to be good. Arizona is going to be good. Utah. Utah. They have in Kansas also, they have all four of those schools on their schedule this year. They're going to be tough outs, and they have to go to Texas Tech. And the one thing we know about Texas Tech, really good at home, terrible on the road. And Colorado has to go down to Lubbock. All the tortillas. And they have Oklahoma State on their schedule too. They are probably with Central Florida on there. They have the six toughest teams in the big 12. With the exception of, well, I guess Baylor's not really not there right now. Baylor's on their schedule too. Oh, they are. God. Yeah, so it's not going to go well for them. But right now, because of the way this upcoming 2025 NFL draft class is shaping up, Shador Sanders is looked at as QB2, as of right now. I don't believe in Carson back at the next level. I don't really think I believe in him in the college level as far as being a great quarterback, as opposed to having insane talent around him. But that's for another day. Shador Sanders, and I think you and I see it on this, is a very talented thrower. He's got a great arm. He can make all of the throws. He, when he has time and he can put touch on the ball, it's pretty. He throws a good ball. I would say a plus decision-maker, very accurate. But he holds on the ball too long. I don't think he is a great decision-maker because he holds on to the ball too long. Okay, if you're carrying that. Because I think that he has windows that he's afraid to throw in. Okay. And he got happy feet with a putrid offensive line last year. Yes, despite what you may or may not think of prime Orp Shador, he was playing in front of paper. But there is also the one way that if you do not have a good offensive line, you get the ball out as quickly as you can. And there were times where a lot of them, where he could have thrown the ball, but I think he is so risk-averse because he doesn't want to throw in receptions and give the ball back to the other team. He just holds on to the ball, takes a sack instead, which you cannot do in the NFL. You cannot do it in the NFL. No, but one of the things that scouts and evaluators said that they do appreciate about Shador is that he does distribute the ball all over the field. Yes, he does. Outside, inside, quick decisions, quick routes, longer developing routes, deep to the outside. He's got all the ability to make all of the throws. There's nobody questioning whether or not he can process those reads or make those reads and then complete the throw on them. He has the tools necessary. Now, he does not have the, for whatever reason, the Sanders gene of speed was not blessed across his children. Interesting that one of the fastest humans on the planet didn't have any progeny that were that fast. And it's a little weird, right? He does seem like the outlier there. You know, it's just, well, maybe, maybe. But Shiloh isn't like a burner on the outside either. That's what I mean, like none of his kids- It's a generation. It's a skips generation. Yeah, it's the elite speed. But so much of what we talked about in Colorado is how much it's just an epic S-show. Yep. And Shador has not been averse to that, whether it's his other brother who runs social media for Colorado, not doing him any favors today. If you want to go on social media, go on Twitter, just search darts only. And you will see the worst edited video- It's very bad. Of all time. Very bad. It's Shador Sanders throwing a deep ball to the corner on the opposite side of the field. And it's edited in a fashion tour. It looks like it's an entirely different play where a receiver catches a touchdown in the end zone. Now, the internet sleuths have already kind of gone through it and it's like, it is the same play. But it's the worst edit ever. It looks like it's an entirely different play because it looks like the ball that might actually have been intercepted. And now you have other universities that are making fun of it. Yeah, they are getting dragged for that one. It's really bad. There was video from the Big Ten of Dylan Ryola throwing what appeared to be like a little five-yard drop off. And all of a sudden, the next edit is a bomb 60 yards down the field. The best was Arkansas. Arkansas did one where they're just totally mocking Colorado in that the quarterback throws like a dig towards the middle of the field. And they edited it to be a high arcing long shot to the opposite side line. It was great. It was fantastic trolling by Arkansas. Look, everybody's going to take their shots at it. And that's what's going to be interesting is how does Colorado, how does Shador Sanders, how does Dion Sanders, how do they all manage the expectations? How do they manage his development? How do they get him prepared to be an NFL quarterback? Because that's what Dion, he won't say it. But that's what this has been all about. Yeah. And look, he's doing a great job of leading the hype train behind him. But if the wheels fall off this year, that will be two years in a row. And if Shador Sanders is taking shots at teammates on social media, like he has been. Or I mean, he gets wrapped up in some, I don't know, some stupid gambling issue. Well, that was the backup. Oh, the music. What's going on in that locker room? It's Gilbert Arena's Givaris Kritanten levels of stupid in that locker room. There is not a lot of maturity in that Colorado locker room. And there are bigger issues at play. And look, I feel like if they do struggle with North Dakota State, and then they do start picking up losses early and guys start pointing fingers, and they can't pull in the same direction and get it back on the right track. Shador Sanders for all of the love that he is getting as an NFL prospect, that's going to start coming back down to Earth. Because just this is not a draft class that is quarterback heavy. Like if Carson Beck is the number one, I think that tells you why teams were so desperate. I mean, we can call it what it is when you have five quarterbacks taking the first 11 picks. They were all desperate to go and find a quarterback this year, because you look at next year's draft class and it's Carson Beck. Shador Sanders, Quinn Ewers is in that draft class as well. The next on the list is Connor Wegman at A&M. And you have Jalen Milro at Alabama as well, where if you look at guys that could make up a lot of ground on Shador Sanders and pass him, look no further than Jalen Milro, who has Kalen DuBora as his offensive coordinator and head coach, right? You know, you have DuBora systems going to be coming down. You have a wealth of talent that's still going to be around about the receiver position, and he's got a live arm. He will get a bump this year if he thrives in Shador Sanders. Brown goes down. Quinn Ewers, if Quinn Ewers can have a big year without Xavier Worthy and without AD Mitchell, then you're looking at him and going, well, he lost his two best targets from a year ago, and he's still thriving with Sark, which he should do at Texas this year. That's like getting Isaiah Bond in, because they are going to be really damn good in Texas. And you shouldn't look at the success of your team and say that's going to be the indicator in the NFL. But if Shador continues to take SACs, holds onto the ball for too long, even that clip where, you know, it was darts only, you saw him stutter in the pocket instead of slide up, he kind of ducks down, gets scared, and then holds onto the ball for too long and ends up popping it down the field. Like, those are things that get you killed in the NFL. And those are the things that draft evaluators are going to look at. Shador has all of those tools. If that offensive line cannot give him happy feet back in the pocket where there's not a quarterback alive that would be standing tall in a pocket and waiting to deliver a throw and knowing you're going to get hit if you have the old line that Colorado has, not one in the country, not a single one. But if you're not getting the ball out quicker this year and maybe taking a little bit more risk and showing your live arm that he does have, then you're going to see evaluators say, well, does he have it in the NFL level? Because you've got to be able to thread a needle and you've got to be willing to get the ball out quick if your offensive line isn't good. It's an interesting place to be. He still has to, you know, this year and then to make the transition to the NFL. The book hasn't been written, but it's it's not a choose you're an adventurer by any means at this point. I think a guy to keep an eye on is Jackson Dart at Ole Miss because if they have a big year this year, he is very talented. No, yes. He is super talented. Took in three schools to figure it out, but he's figured it out. And I think Riley Leonard at Notre Dame, the Duke transfer, he got dinged up last year. He's more of like a bowling ball type. I'm interested to see what Riley Leonard brings to Notre Dame this year. I like him a lot. Yeah, unfortunately, he lost his left tackle for the year. Yep, that's not good. Problematic, keeping it in the quarterback world. Nick Saban's dead. He's got time. I like this. And he's got time to educate the Chicago Bears and Matt Iberflus on how to handle Caleb Williams going forward. But first, he's the big golden sports and update. I hear they got some tasty burgers.

Anybody can tell you what a good fantasy quarterback looks like, but it's the receivers that make or break your team. I'm Matt Harmon from Reception Perception. Join me and James Co. As we take a deep dive into the position that matters most wide receivers from the route trees to who plays better in man or zone, we provide the insights you need to draft the best wide receivers. As you prep for your draft, let us give you the coverage you need. Follow and listen to Reception Perception on the free Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts. Nick Saban's got time. So what happened to you? We're tired from me and the old ball coach. But he has a retired for football. That man can't. Got no. Can't quit. There's no way shape matter of forming that man can entirely quit football. And he's holistic and philosophical ideas. I think have evolved over time. But I think specifically as it pertains to quarterbacks, because this is the man who was like, I'm going to win with defense and running backs for 10 years. And then the realization around what 2012, 2013 that he needed quarterback. His offense needed to get out of the stone. He drastically changed. So he's gone through this. And I mean, I think there's some very direct parallels you can draw to that in the Chicago Bears. This is a franchise that has unquestionably the worst history of offensive production and quarterback play in the entirety of the NFL. And it's not close. No, they've never had a four thousand year pass. It's the ineptitude reaches levels that no one else can claim. Now you could go, oh, they're an outdoor team. They're in the black and blue division. Like Green Bay Packers player in colder, crappier, worse weather. And have had two, actually three Hall of Fame quarterbacks already, of which if you take parts of their careers, would be better than the combination of any Bears quarterback you could ever mention. Yeah. And like everybody wants to always crack jokes at, you know, the Cleveland Browns and in their quarterback situation. Brian Seip, everybody, 4,000-yard pass. They've only had one, but Brian Seip did it. Yeah, the Bears also, I believe, still have never had a quarterback throw for 30 touchdowns in the season. Good God. That's not good, Bob. The Bears also, Brian Seip, 1980, Cleveland Browns. Even the Browns got it right once. God, they didn't, they didn't, Baker didn't take him over 4,000. No, Baker, 3,727 touchdowns. I would have got that wrong. I would have, I would have thought he would have thrown for like 4,100. No, just clipped it. No, poor Baker. Derek Anderson got close though, 37, 87, and 29 touchdowns. Ooh, almost 4,030. Yeah, that was a Pro Bowl year, buddy. Hum, again, Pro Bowl quarterback. Bears, they haven't had many of those. Sexy Rexy, Jim McMahon, but you know what? The one thing the Bears have had is futility at quarterback, but they've won a Super Bowl with the most dominant defense in NFL history. And, oh, by the way, went to a Super Bowl with a dominant defense with Rex Grossman. Rex Grossman. So, again, drawing on those parallels, shout out some really great footage back and forth between Nick Saban and Matt Abert Flus on Hard Knocks, just holistically how the Bears can prepare to have Caleb Williams be successful. Here's my theory on why NFL quarterbacks fail at such a dramatic rate. To me, expectations are a killer. This kid you got, this kid's got so much media, so much hype, so much expectation on doing well. And he has to develop so quickly to meet the expectations that everybody has for him. It's almost impossible. The expectations are a killer. But yet, to use your word, development is the key for him. You know, like Peyton Manning threw 28 interceptions when he was at rookie. And it's most of the history of all. Backman looks to throw, tipped in Anderson. It's unbelievable. Put the nail on it. But it didn't affect him. It was like the struggle. The struggle don't mean anything until the game's over. You and I have talked about this a bunch of affair over the last couple of years, in the sense of how quarterback film it. You are certainly, I think, more lenient on guys and giving them more and more opportunities. To show things. His history will tell you that environment and your coach and your system, they matter. And I 100% agree with you. But I also think that there's also the staggering majority of evidence is that you've got to show something. Even in the microcosm of my God, the Bears had nothing around Justin Fields. I don't think he's going to go to Pittsburgh where he's going to have a better offensive line and have some semblance of an offense around him. He's going to look leaps and bounds better. No, I just won't say the guys are trash. And then you go, well, everything around him was trash. Yeah, no. I think Justin Fields can be serviceable. Sure. I don't think he is ever going to be an all-pro or worthy of a top five pick by any measure. But I think he was the 10th overall pick, right? 11th. Yeah, he was in there. It was just he was in Chicago. They were hoping for a savior and they had nothing around him, right? And I mean, there were people ready to write off Josh Allen and Jordan Love and Jared Gough. And people were like, they're bums. I will look at a guy and be like, I don't know, man. There's not a whole hell of a lot around him. And I think I'm not on the way of bums. But well, Bryce Young, I might be there with him. But again, one year with the worst offense in the League around him. It might be one of the worst offenses ever, which is why I caveat that. But also saw nothing from him that where I was like, well, maybe. And I think that's where you're watching a lot of Carolina Panthers games. Unfortunately, I did watch a lot of Panthers games. Why? Because I like watching rookies. I'm sick. But in general, I do agree with what Saban is saying, because even in Peyton Manning's rookie year where he led the League in interceptions and then went, what, 4 and 12? You still saw the glimpses with Peyton, even when it was, oh, God, that's terrible. Oh, that's terrible. You still could understand what that was. And if you go back and look at that 4 and 12 team, there were weapons on that team. And he still was a complete S show. But there was a belief there was an understanding there was that, hey, it'll be there. And I think that number one, that level of patience in the NFL doesn't exist anymore. I don't, I don't think Peyton Manning level of patience where, to be honest, I think the comparison you draw almost is Scoot Henderson, where as such a high level pick, the stats were so underwhelming. Yeah. But the difference between Peyton and Scoot is that Peyton did have legitimate moments of, oh, oh, that's different. That's processing, that's special. That's, you know, I mean, you could feel it. There was something there that was like, look, I know X, Y, and Z aren't good, but boy, A, B, and C, you know that there's something there and you can keep mining that. And I think even in the worst situations, the work circumstances, I think saving, especially what he's saying there is you've got to cultivate that. You've got to hold onto that. I think one thing that Chicago has done a really good job, though, is that they committed to improving the offensive line. They improved the weapons by leaps into bounds. This is nowhere near the offense that Justin Fields had around him. And Caleb Williams gets the ability to step in and have actually a chance to prove himself. Also, I think there's a part of Caleb Williams where he is part of the factory that has developed him to get to this point where, you know, Nick Saban's talking about the expectations that are being held against him and will be held against him. He's okay with that because those expectations have been there since he was in eighth grade. Yeah, any, any, him and his father helped build those expectations. Exactly. Like that, that was part of the deal was that, you know, build those expectations so that you can live up to them and exceed them even. Yep. Whether it's at Oklahoma or at USC, and then you can talk about how, you know, what happened at Oklahoma or what happened at USC, he won a Heisman Trophy and was one of the most prolific players in college football history. I mean, that's, it is what it is. So you, you take a look at what those expectations are for him going forward. I think the bar is going to be not honest. Well, you see that by calling him the most, one of the most prolific in the history of the game. It was. I mean, that Heisman season was one of the most prolific. It was, it was, it was one of the most individual prolific seasons in the history of college football. That's not the USC thing. That's just what it was. It was a very good season. When you shatter passing records and touchdown records at USC that has multiple Heisman Trophy winning quarterbacks, it's one of the most prolific seasons of college football. I mean, there's been a lot of them that have been there, they've been there. Yes. It's my point. Okay. Not USC. It's just, it's the most prolific in five years. Joe burrow. Okay. Well, yes. I said one of, one of, I know what you're saying. God. I'm giving you USC, a little, a little bit of it. It's going to be a town here. God, can I have next? I strangled Dusty, Danny and Dusty. Well, we found a way to jinx the worst thing or the best thing going in baseball. Oh, the White Sox losing. You know what? The White Sox and the A's. Yeah. I'm out of town with this. Six runs yesterday. Well, then didn't come closely over. Uh, top of the ninth, White Sox are losing three to two with two outs. So they could start a brand new streak today. Brand new streak. Yeah. Frank Thomas had quite the quote on this. Yes. Oh, this was fantastic here. We got, we got it. This could do it. It was like a fall game. Sox found a way to win. That's all we wanted in Chicago just to win. It's hard to be laughing stock of baseball. You know, these long losing streaks. Everyone talks about it and the rest of the national news pick up on it. Oh, yeah. Easy conversation is easy news. So now turn the page, move on. Um, they still are the laughing stock of baseball. That hasn't changed. Like, hey, they're all about a new Gen X. And that's with the A's around. One game did not change it, but you know what? It did give us probably the loudest F John Fisher chance that were, that were heard on, on TV, which fantastic. I mean, it was crystal clear. When the A's lose the game to the white Sox that could have kept history going, the few fans that were there last night, they were cheering F John Fisher. You was crystal clear through the broadcast and they don't dump it. They couldn't, they couldn't. You couldn't have zero sound. It's the ambient sound of the stadium. There's nothing they could do. What's going on live in the crowd? It was just, oh, glorious. But, um, screw you white Sox and A's the over. It was there for the taking and they just couldn't take it. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. You hate to see it. Truly terrible. New streak has officially started though. The A's have finished off the white Sox. Oh, no, they suck again. And so now they are 1 in 22 over there. That's 23 games. So even tomorrow or Friday, I'll have the trophies. Oh, I like this. We'll have the trophy bracket face off. The best trophies in College Football. I am so in on this. There's a lot of really good ones. Yes, there is. I mean, the Golden Hat is pretty dang good. Yeah. I mean, that one is up there with Texas, Oklahoma. All right, I'm looking forward to this.
