You're right. I did not, I did not write that myself because I wouldn't have said makes his triumphant return to Philly sports talk with Philly Philly with John Marks. 'Cause two myths within four words. It's a little bit wordy. Anyway, so yeah, you can check out the podcast. Tyler posted every day about nine o'clock and you can do that Roku TV, which is an excellent way to watch. So a lot of different ways to watch us, like and subscribe on YouTube, send me an email, direct message, the DMs are wide open. All right, no Shannon Sharp type stuff going on there though on Instagram. It's at John J.O.N. at Marks M.A.R.K.S media at John Marks Media. Big show today. We'll talk a little bit about the Shannon Sharp situation and more black gritty. My buddy black gritty will be in studio coming up here about 20 minutes from now after we check in with some news. Yeah, it's interesting. Tyler said this to me this morning that he's wondering if Philly's fans are like being a little bit negative with the team right now. So they win last night against Tampa. They sweep the race and the race aren't a great team. They're not a terrible team though, right? So they sweep the race, the Mets come in the town day off today, Mets come in the town on Friday. Philly's have the best record in baseball and they're 30 games over 500. And even I could admit, I don't have this joy of man, the Philly's 30 games over 500. We win in the World Series. We talked a little bit about the anxiety yesterday. I don't, I don't know what it is. It's hard like, it's hard for me to truly enjoy it. Like maybe I would enjoy, I enjoyed 2022 with the Eagles or I enjoyed the first 11 weeks last year with the Eagles. I don't know what it is, Tyler. I know you sense the same thing before we get to the news and stuff from last night. I think negativity is probably the wrong connotation, but like a sense that there, like there seems to be two schools of Philly's fans right now, which is, you know, this team is on a roll, can do no wrong. And that fan base, that portion of the fan base is almost angry at the, the other portion of the fan base, which is kind of waiting for another shoe to drop type of feel. And that portion of the fan base is like, you're all homers and I, here's the cracks in the armor. And it feels like there's this like weird riff for a team that is 30 games over 500. They have the best record in baseball. They continue to put separation between themselves and the Mets and the Braves. They continue to put separation between themselves and the Milwaukee Brewers. They have shown for the last three or four weeks that they have turned a corner and the issues that really plague them, not all of them, but the issue, most of the issues that really plague them in that late July, early August skid have seemingly been put to rest. - Sure. - The bullpen's been back to elite level bullpen. The starting pitching's been pretty good for the most part and overanger struggled the other day. The offense is getting productivity up and down the lineup and it's, you know, oftentimes different guys. It didn't score a ton of runs and the two wins on Monday and last night. They score five runs, but they win both games 'cause the pitching's been so good. I think there's a lot of people waiting for a boomer bust mentality to snap with this team that I think that that's their mindset, where it's like, if they're not piling on, they're scoring two or three, which I don't entirely agree with, but there's a weird like split between fans and I feel like they're just like bickering with each other over the last couple of weeks. - Yeah, I, you're right. It's not, I don't sense a lot of negativity from the fans. I'm anxious. - Yeah, I think that that's probably the right word to use. It's not negativity. I do sense an angst with amongst the fan base. - That's me. You just want the playoffs to get there so we can get it over with. This is far from enjoyable for me right now because of what we saw over the last two years, but it's, yeah, it's, they're 30 games over 500. You just said it. They're 30 games over 500. The best Phillies team that I've seen in my lifetime was the 2011, what was the 2010 that lost the St. Louis 2010? - 2011. - 2011. That was the best team I've seen. - Yeah, for sure. - And they, you know, they, they lost in five games in the divisional route. So we know that you can be a great regular season team and what can happen in playoffs to hot team wins. Cardinals win on the win the World Series. The Giants, the year they lost to the Giants in the NLCS, that was a good Phillies team. Giants were good, Giants got on a roll. They were good. Cody Ross is day. - Hate him. - Right. - That was a good, never forgive that man. - Pat the bat, you know, he got his revenge on the Phillies. So that's so hard to win. It's a, and, and here, I think here's the real problem. This is where I struggle. It's hard to call it right now. September 12th, right? Like you don't, nobody knows how you're going to be pitching and batting in three weeks or four weeks from now. So. - Yeah, of course. I can't tell you how they're going to play tonight. Well, they're, I can't tell you how they're going to play tonight tonight. - They're not. - They're not playing tonight. I can't tell you how they're going to play this weekend. - Right. All right. Well, anyway, so we'll talk a little bit about that with Black Ernie as well. But yeah, so the Phillies did get a win last night. They get to sweep. Let's get the news from Tyler. What's up, Tyler? Well, if I could figure out how to actually push buttons, that would, that would work. - You figured out. - Yeah, you did mention the Phillies get to sweep last night. Three, two victory over the race. Zach Wheeler was good. I don't think Zach Wheeler was great last night. I mean, the strikeout numbers were high. He had nine strikeouts, did a really good job of kind of tightroping out of some danger at times. I think three innings in a row. He gave up a lead off base hit. At least a lead off base hit. Three, or two of those three innings lead off extra base hits. He ends up going six innings. They win this game three to two. They sweep the race. They are now 88 and 58 as we mentioned. Take a quick look around the Major League Baseball because the Phillies are off today. They'll get back at it tomorrow. Not a lot of help from across the rest of the league. The Dodgers win again. They win 10-8 over the Cubs. The Brewers do lose. They get smacked by the San Francisco Giants. 13 to two. The Mets win again. And I've said this to you before. I think at this point, I'm just playing under the pretense. The Mets are the Mets have won unless I get told otherwise. They're playing some unbelievable baseball right now. Just see how they won last night? I didn't see how they won. I just saw that they won. They were being no hit going into the ninth inning. Oh, I see the court's sixth runs in the ninth inning. They had no hits going into the ninth inning and they won the game. Yeah, it's a good team. I mean, Francisco Alvarez provided three of the six RBIs on a home run. Francisco Lindor continues his potential MVP. They're trying to make the case. Yes. The propaganda is being passed out for MVP. Listen, it's show. Hey, Otani. Yes. Francisco Lindor is having himself a fine. Yeah. There's other guys too. Like, could tell Marte before the injuries was an MVP candidate. Like, it's going to be Otani, but a couple of guys are making compelling non-Otani season cases. Yep. But the Phillies are now, for like we said, 30 games over 500, they're eight ahead of the Mets. They're nine ahead of the Braves. The magic number to clinch the division is down to nine. The magic number to clinch a buy in the first round is now at 13 as they get set for a four-game series with the Mets, excuse me, a three-game series with the Mets beginning this weekend. Switching gears to the Eagles for a second, Vic Fangio has not minced words and has not minced actions since he's been here. He's pretty, he's a pretty, you know, straight shooter. He doesn't, you know, kind of give you any fluff. You can go back to the, the Bryce Huff comments the other day where he basically said he's got to separate. He's got to create some, some extra opportunity. And now yesterday he had a, he had his, you know, defensive coordinator press conference this week and he was speaking about the linebacker position. Devin White didn't play in the game against Brazil, didn't even travel in the game against the Packers in Brazil, didn't even travel to Brazil. He was asked yesterday, I believe it was yesterday. He was asked at his media availability, uh, what the, the, the future holds at least the immediate future for Devin White and for the guy who started in his place, Nikobe Dean. He didn't really mix words on this one. Pretty straightforward. Here's Vic Fangio courtesy of our friends at NBC Sports Philadelphia. Hey, Vic, David, he did an up and start again, should Devin White not be ready or will he start even if Devin White is running. Now, Nikobe's a starter. Would Nikobe the starter now? I'm curious, where does Devin White fit in? And have you talked with him about, you know, maybe Nikobe being the starter now, considering he took so many first team reps in training camp? Yeah, obviously we talked to him about it and he's still a good player, tweaked his ankle last week. Um, he's still part of it and will be part of it. It wasn't that decision that to have Nikobe as the starter, what did, what did you say? I just think from the starting camp to the end, he, he won the job. Yep. Pretty simple. Won the job. Straight forward. Devin White got three and a half million dollars on that one year contract guaranteed. And at some point this year, you're probably going to need them and he's going to need to step up, but the Kobe Dean earned the job and I, I, I'm with you with, with Fangio. He didn't disrespect Devin White at all. He just said the Kobe earned the job. He's still a good player and the Kobe earned the job. It is problematic that, that Bryce Hough hasn't really had no productivity in that first game. And then Devin White's not even, he's the third linebacker right now. So that between the two of them were their biggest signings, right? Well, CJ, GJ was, but they spent real guaranteed money on those two players. I hope Puff can play, bro. Yeah, I think that the Hough is, is more concerning than Devin. Like Devin White, they, they've had this rotating panel of linebackers over the last couple of years where they bring in a vet to see if they can give them any, you know, get a little bit of juice out of a vet who, you know, to varying levels of his past success. Like Devin White is the, is nominally the best linebacker they've brought in in quite some time, right? Yeah. But I know Zack and Bo have talked about this before. Like how many years in a row would the, the Eagles bring somebody in and then camp would happen. They would be the presumed starter and then week one rolls around and they go, Oh, TJ Edwards is a starting middle linebacker and he would beat this guy. And then the next year of it would be somebody else. Like, so the Devin White thing, it doesn't perturb me all that much. Bryce Hough, it, it's, it's one game. It is one game. But the, the mindset of Vic Fangio is what bothers me more than the productivity. And I don't, I'm not saying Fangio is wrong. But what, what concerns me is he clearly doesn't value Hough as a closer to every down edge rusher than what we did when they brought him in. Right. Yeah. He, that wasn't a, that wasn't a fan geo signing. That was a how he signing. That was how he's. Yeah. For sure. Right. So Fangio is going to say he has to earn the snaps, which he clearly hasn't done because he hasn't separated himself from the other players. So like he now, now you know what he needs to do, he needs to, he needs to work harder in practice. He needs to be more productive in games. The thing that you worry about with anybody that, that's a, that's a, a pass rusher and like that's doesn't really do a whole, whole heck of a lot of else or is more like a rotational player, which he's been in his career. Where do these sacks happen? In what games, at what point in games, right? You can look at a stat sheet and say, Oh, well, you had 10 and a half 11 sacks last year. When did they come? Did three of them come against a third string offensive tackle that he was just running around on the whole time? Right. And I can't tell you that I watched a lot of, I was concentrating in keying on a lot of jets games last year when Zach Wilson was, yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't think I'd want to either. Yeah. Yeah. That's fair. I think that they're like productivity. That's why I think there is the, the ever, the, the never ending argument of like, you know, statistic, like I test versus the stats, right? And some guys pass one better than the other. I think there's a bunch of guys on this Eagles team who may not rack up numbers, but are I test the idea. Right. Like the one guy I always think of is Milton Williams. I think Milton Williams may not be an eight, nine, 10 sack guy, but Milton Williams is a, I think a critical piece to this defensive front, you know, especially when he is able to kind of get after his specific assignments and his specific roles, you know, I think Jordan Davis is probably the same way peep, you know, I do need to, like, I think people still want to see an incremental step from Jordan Davis, but he is like larger than the stat sheet. No pun intended. He's a big guy. Obviously larger than the stat sheet provides you edge rush is tough because I think edge rush is almost exclusively based on sacks and pass rush win rate. And, and, and, and Huff had, had great analytics on, on the win rate or whatever. And it's hurries and hits or whatever, but you're right. You're judged, you're judged differently. But yeah. And the thing with Jordan Davis, he, if he's, if he's commanding double teams and he's eating up blockers, that helps, right? Like it's going to, it's going to really help the running game. Is he doing that though? Is he on the field enough to do that? This isn't a running league. I, I always, I didn't like to pick because I don't like using that high of a draft pick on a guy that doesn't get to the, to the passer that doesn't have, it's, he's never going to have big quarterback numbers. Now I, the, the response to that that I got a lot from was, but if he's the anchor of the line and you can't run against them, then you don't worry about that. And that's true, but he's got to be able to do that too. So, so you think Jordan Davis, he, his eye test is better because you're right. Well, a lot of players, their, their, their stats will make them, make them to be a better player than they actually are. And then you have the guys that you said, Milton Williams, I'm trying to think of another player where they're actually better players than maybe what their stats would show you. But anyway, dude, I'm concerned about the pass rush. I think you have every right to be, I think that they have, and listen, I think 2022 was obviously everything came together in perfect harmony in 2022. The edge rush was great, you know, between his son Redick and BG and Joshua had a career year that year. I think everything came together in like a perfect harmony for them to be this incredible pass rush team where I believe they led the league in sacks that year by a pretty hefty margin. That's historic. You know, last, last year it slips back probably to a more average rate. They don't have a premier pass rusher right now, not, not every team has a premier pass rusher, but they don't have a premium pass rush, they have one. They did. And I don't think that they were going to pay them. I don't think it seems like the Jets are going to pay them. I'm curious to see if anybody is going to try to make a late push and say, Hey man, we'll try to recoup some of your draft picks, we'll give you a five and we'll pay them. But they, no, but then the conversation with, with a son Redick becomes last year, you know, there was reports and rumors that was he playing outside the scheme? Was he trying to just get his? Was he not it, you know, playing within the assignment of the, of the defensive alignment? You know, all of that comes into, into consideration. But your point is they, they did objectively on the, on the pass rush, they objectively got worse when his son Redick left the team for sure. No matter if you were worried about his assignment schemes and whatnot, they got worse when his son Redick left team. Wow. Their pass rush isn't great. Right. How he bet big, he bet big on, on huff. He just did. That has to be a son of Redick's replacement. He's younger. Twenty five years old, it's five year olds typically don't become free agents and you know what I mean? The team's let them leave. Jets let them leave. So potential will be a mess. Blackreade is going to join us here in studio in a second, just a couple of other things on the, on the Phillies, Schwerber scratched from the lineup last night, which was the right move. They have a day off today. So you get him not playing yesterday. He's not going to play obviously today. And then you need him this weekend against the Mets if he's healthy enough. So I was very happy to see that he did not play. But that meant that you had, you had Weston Wilson a third and, and Cody Clemens at first and Bryce went to be in the DH. But not exactly, not exactly how you draw it up for your corner infielders at Weston. Well, Weston Wilson got the, got the game winning hit, albeit a, you know, he hit it off the hands and it was a, you know, a little cue ball that found some space to get an infield hit, but that's, that's Gwen line drive in the book, I guess, you know, one of those factors. Say, you know, you take it where you can get it. Zach Willard, 15 and six, two six, you're a, he's been fantastic. He's not going to win the saw young again because Chris sales is going to get it. Jose Alvarado, three straight appearances. You mentioned it earlier, three straight one, two, three appearances. He hasn't allowed a run in seven appearances, seven straight appearances. Yeah. He, he looks and God being a reliever is, it's like being a kicker in the NFL. When you're off man, you're like, holy crap, I would, and it's noticeable, right? Yes. You, you get hyper, hyper fixated on a reliever because they're throwing, you know, 12 pitches, 15 pitches, 18 pitches in an inning. It's, it's certainly more noticeable when a guy struggles as opposed to coming in and doing your job. All right. Well, thank you very much. Tyler Blacker. He joins us in a second, but listen, Thursday night football tonight, Bette Parks right now, two and a half point favorite Miami at home against Buffalo, the over under 49 points. I like Miami tonight to cover the two and a half, a little bit of a lean on, on Buffalo with the line, but I like, I like Miami's offense to kind of, to kind of bounce back this week. Bird six and a half point home favorite toasting Atlanta over under 47 in that game.

Because you and I, I heard these streets are doing their best to give us the opportunity and job. We appreciate them. E-Rock and I were on last night, Ashworth was MIA. We don't know where it was at. We're trying to find. We put out APB. But all three of us come together once a week on Wednesdays for an hour. We doing live right here on the Roku after it died hard. You know what it is. And we had super fun. We're having super fun. We're going to continue. That's super fun. We even doing a little baseball for people last night. I'm trying to work these guys out of just the Eagles, but we dig deep into the burrs because you know how Iraq is. He's tapped in and Ashworth is to this. It's just a fun time. So live on Wednesday nights. Is that correct? What time? Seven o'clock available on YouTube, Roku, or whatever. And then of course you can watch it at your convenience on demand and everything else. I have to spot a file to place you get your podcast, but check in with us live. We appreciate that. I mean, with the chat and checking in with the people. And like I said, we're just fans having fun, a little bit of analysis, a lot of yelling, you know what I mean? Like, well, if you're here, there's going to be a, well, it's morning time. So, and then you know, I don't sleep. So I didn't go to bed last time. I was always put up the cop and then why I don't know why I went home. I should just stay here last night. You were here doing the show. I know JP had said that he sleep here and I'm like, no, you got here at about 730. So maybe you go home and sleep a couple hours. Yeah, a little bit. Taking that. And you go home. All right. Well, there you go. So we're going to, we're going to debut a new segment. It's called true false, never, never done, been done before, just so you know, no one ever in TV or radio has ever done a segment called true false. So we're going to debut it today. That's true. Tyler is, it is true. Tyler is going to give us a true false and then we will give a true false and do it. Why? You don't have this works. I do. I do. I have to say something before we start this. John asked me and said, hey, come up with some true or false questions and we'll do them on the air. And then he sends me true or false questions and says, hey, here's some extra ones. John, I got to be honest, this feels like you're getting the answers to the test before we start. This is a little, this is a little bit cheating. Well, I mean, like, like, listen, sometimes you got to lead your witness into the, the answer that you want to give, right? But I mean, like, like, listen, you're, you're very much a straightforward sports guy and I'm not necessarily. So I have to add some of the other nonsense in there. So I think we have a good mix of stuff. So stay on cheesy. Stay on. All right. Let's do it. So I will, now my question is, do I have to, do I have to tell you if these are my questions or your questions or I'm just firing and you're, I mean, you're, you're, you're firing whatever you're going to be out that, you don't have to ask all the questions. You can do whatever you want to, you started off true, false, give it. All right. I'll, I'll, I'll lead first and then we'll alternate with black gritty answering first next time. All right. So let's start with the, let's start with some baseball questions. We'll get to the NFL in just a second. The Phillies currently have the number one record or number one seed in Major League Baseball. They have 88 wins and 58 losses. The Dodgers are 87 and 59 to gain back 16 games left guys at the end of the season true or false, the Phillies will be the number one overall seed in the national league. Yeah. I'll say true just because I, I, with their starting pitching and the, the schedule down the stretch isn't necessarily easy, but their starters, the, this team is where they are right now because they have a good team across the board. But when you have Zach Wheeler and even Aranola and Chris Sanchez and I'm holding my breath of Ranger Suarez, but you look at that rotation and the bullpen has been in lockdown mode. I think they get the number one seed and I think I think we're, we're going to be watching the first round of the playoffs here and the Phillies going to be hosting anybody that they play. At least they're going to have home field advantage in anybody that they play. BG. I'm going to say true for more selfish reasons before the season started. I believed everything they said in springtime they were talking about winning the division. I got money on 98 wins and I'm trying to get in under that wire, collect this money. So yes, it's true. It better be true. Please help my kid out for Christmas. It's got to be true. That's what I feel in my heart. The truth is that yes, we need it. I need, I need them. We need the money. I need to understand it. The Phillies need to also keep the pressure on the rest of the league and keep Philadelphia happy and calm too. It's not just about me people, it's not just about me, but it's true. 98 wins requires 10 and six for you, BG. Hey, 10 and six doable over the last 16 games. When you say that, a lot of stresses me out. I just didn't live my life. I mean, we got down the bag, make it, let me get a level of five. So I don't have to sweat it. You know what I mean? The level of five. All right. One more Phillies question. We'll do a couple MLB. We'll get to the NFL. All that range of true or false, Ranger Suarez will start the Phillies third playoff game. Now it doesn't matter if it's in the DS or a wild card. He will be the game three that they play, maybe not necessarily game three of a series. He will be their third starting pitcher in the postseason. Blackberry. True. He's. Ranger in the postseason is a man on fire and I believe that when the lights shine to brightest, he will come back to his form that he started the season off with that he left us with in the postseason last year. I'm not going to stop believing in him just because he's got a little everybody else has a little law. Alvarado is coming back right now. So yes, 100% I will say false and I would actually say that he may get squeezed depending on on the series. If they need a four starter in a series, he's going to be that guy. I think his versatility in the bullpen is something that that I don't know if you can do that with Chris Sanchez. Here's what I would do. Wheeler, Sanchez, Nola, Ranger Suarez. It breaks up the lefties. So you go right, left, right, left Sanchez is just a better pitcher. He has better stuff. Now if Ranger Suarez in the last two or three starts that he has this season, the velocity goes back up and he's missing bats. All right. Then we can have a conversation. That's not happening right now. So I mean, Rob Thompson's a players manager. He ultimately made the side to do it. It wouldn't be the right move. He should not be the third starter. That's the other reason I was thinking because he is a stick with his guys. Stick with his guys. He does. He sticks with the guys. All right. One final baseball question, then we'll get some some football and some other stuff currently sitting in his age 32 season and about to end his age 32 season true or false. I'm not going to give you how many he has just because I want to see your your immediate reaction. True or false? Aaron judge will get to 500 career home runs. That's true. He's going to get the 500 home runs. He's too damn big and he's been staying healthy when when he when when he was in here, I guess a couple months ago now and the Phillies weren't playing well. This dude six foot eight, he plays center field and he's got this amazing power. The season he's having this year is an all time historic type season. And he continued to produce like this into his thirties. Well, the next four years, he's probably going to have enough home runs to pass 500. So I say that's true. It's 100% true and I don't want to say it. I don't want to agree with everything you said, but he is just the juggernaut in baseball. He is an adult man. He's like shack out there and I just like the power that he has. I hate the Yankees, but I can't deny his greatness and his presence and every time he's up to the plate, you're afraid. So it's true. Needs 192 home runs to get there. He has 308 currently his second of second season in the last three in which he's hit over 50. He's got 51 this year. Obviously it's 62 in 2022. He would need to average about 40 home runs a year for the next five years to get to the 500 Mark Platt last four years, 39 home runs now 39 62 37 51 if he stays healthy, he's hitting 30 minimum 35, probably 40. And like you had just said it, when you lay out how many home runs you need to average over the amount of years they had 500 like holy crap. That's a lot. If you if you average 40 home runs a year for 10 years, that doesn't get you to 500. It's easy map, but that's crazy. Yeah, it shows you how hard it is to it now if you're steroided up, that's a different story. It just shows you how hard it is to get to 500 home runs to a false bring back steroids. False. Dang it. False. It, it gave, it gave fans unrealistic expectations of, of what players should be doing. And then when they couldn't take steroids anymore, people were like, Oh, this sucks. Like, yeah, I think you, uh, BJ, you have one person at this company that will agree with you. I think Jamie Lynch is in that same category, because we're vibe guys, you see his feed out on time. We're vibe guys. We just want the vibe, bro. It's trying to live that life. All right. Let's go to some Eagles and NFL questions for you here. True or false. Eagles will have now obviously no Jalen hurts in this category passing yards. That's not fair. Um, the Eagles will have 3000 yard gainers this season, whether it be on the, uh, on the ground or through the air, they will have three players rack up at least 1000 yards in their individual category. That is 100% true. It has to happen. If Jalen hurts is going to be everything we want him to be, is got to be through the air him in the pocket and say Quam Barkley is unstoppable. So somehow, some way he's definitely going over 1000 AJ. It's yes, I don't have to expound on it. Yes. Unequivocally true. Yeah. I'm going to say false. They, they, they all three of them would have to say healthy for an entire season to go over a thousand yards and not, I mean, not that I'm trying to say, well, they're going to get hurt, but history will tell you that they're going to have injuries. Like at what point I mean, a thousand yards for AJ, a thousand yards for Davante, a thousand yards for Swift, they did it last year, right? So they're going to have to do it again because Swift went over a thousand yards last year. So they showed that they can do it with a lesser back and a little bit worried about say Quam getting nicked up and missing a couple of games. So I'll say false, but it doesn't mean that they don't have this is the best three that they've ever had two wide receivers that are running back like this. The best they've ever had. Shame on you, sir. I know it's your show, but shame on you. All right. That's okay. You can wag your finger at me. All right. So this next question comes obviously with a little bit of a caveat. Five quarterbacks were drafted in the first round. This past NFL draft, of course, Jason McCarthy is not playing, but I'm going to, to keep his team in this conversation, an NFL team that draft true or false, an NFL team that drafted a quarterback in the first round this year will make the NFL playoffs. Well, like Minnesota would in the north would have to, with the Packers and the Lions would be crazy to make the playoffs. And by the way, I know you're a Sam Darnell guy, Tyler, Sam Darnell sucks. I like by the final guy, but the fifth by the, I thought you were, by the fifth week of the season, they're going to be talking about who the hell they can get to replace them. No, what, what I said, qualify? Huh? Do they even qualify? No, yes, that's the caveat is they took JJ McCarthy, but really the spirit of the question is what rookie quarterbacks is going to take the, is going to take the team. I mean, who, who we, who we talk, who we talking about here, because I mean, I, I mean, is panics going to be playing before the end of the regular season? Probably. Kurt Cousin doesn't look like, you know what, I actually, I lied. There are six teams, six rookie quarterbacks were taken in the first round. I forgot about Michael Pennics. Denver's not making the, not making the playoffs. Who else are we talking about here? It's going to be the bears. Yeah. I mean, they could. I don't, I don't buy into the, to the bears being a playoff team this year. I know it's a sexy thing to do is like, oh, the bears, and they won the first game despite Caleb Williams not being not, not playing well at all. I think he's going to be fine. It's going to be good this year, but so you say the bears, if anybody's going to do it is going to be them. Their defense can drag him along, defense and help him out, love being injured, helps them tremendously, the NFC is good, but not great and it's weird how flooky teams sneak in. So anybody's going to do it. I'm just saying it's going to be the bears. All right. Yes. To answer to, to real quick, John, I am not a Sam Darnold fan. I am a believer that this season, this is more of a, I don't like JJ McCarthy than I am a Sam Darnold fan. I think this season, the Vikings are better off with Sam Darnold than they are with JJ McCarthy. He's any good. I don't think either quarterbacks all that good, but I think investing as high of a pick as they did on JJ McCarthy is going to prove to be a mistake in his career. All right. All right. A couple more questions before we get out of here with this true or false segment. True or false, obviously a long season ahead, but turmoil with the coaching staff at the end of last year, true or false if Nick Siriani were to not be the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles next year, looking way ahead. The next head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles will be a Bill Belichick false. Howie Roseman would not allow someone with that much power to come in here and take that job. I, they would elevate Kellen Moore before they did something like Bill Belichick. And I know it's the thing to say he's over there and I felt films right now. He's sounding very fun and buoyant on all his little live shows, hit pieces. That man is an animal and doesn't listen to anybody, doesn't care about anything and he wants complete and get total power and how he's never letting anybody have that again. Yeah. I'll say true and it's funny because when people are talking about his former players or NFL analysts, when they're talking about where will Bill Belichick's next stop be and it'll be somewhere next year, the Giants and the Eagles are both the first two teams that are mentioned. Why the Eagles? Well, because they had interest in them last year. If they were going to move on from, from next year at Siriani now, ultimately they decided they were going to get Siriani, another shot, but I, as far as the team that's built to, built to win and ready to win right now, it's the Eagles, the Giants suck. They have no talent on that team. So Bill Belichick's going to go to New York and, and start coaching a team that has no talent on it. It makes sense. I think Dallas makes some more sense as well. He's got to go to a team that's ready to win right now. And Jeffrey Lori loves Bill Belichick. The point you make about how he roseman is a good one. Why would he hire like Chip Kelly? He hired Chip Kelly. He sent him the basement for a couple of years. Bell check doesn't have that power. He's not looking for that coming in now. Can he make things difficult for how he and can he, yeah, of course he can and he probably will, but how he's a survivor in this game and Bill Belichick gives the Eagles a better chance to win a super bowl than Nick Siriani. It's not even close. So I, I actually, if this turns out to be a bad season and Siriani gets whacked, I fully expect Bill Belichick to be the coach. I do. Okay. Personally, would you want Bill Belichick to be the head coach in front of you? Yes, I would. Well, I mean, you got to give me like, who else? It's not going to be, it's not going to be Kellen Moore. They're not going from the Siriani to Kellen Moore on this team. He, Kellen Moore obviously has an interview well because he hasn't gotten a job, right? The Eagles interviewed him in and give him a job. Yeah. So if there was an obvious replacement and it's like, Oh, well, this is the, like, if there's, this is the next young, great head coach, yeah, they'll hire him over Bill Belichick. Sure. Absolutely. He's ready to win right now, black gritty, Bill Belichick is the enemy. He's a cheat. I can't stand the hate. My heart won't allow it. Nick Siriani gets on my nerves and I just like him a lot, but bell check just grinds my gears, bro. Like it's early in the morning. I'm not trying to get heated, but whoo, get that's okay. That's all I'm saying. Nick just went and just help yourself out, help us out on the Cincinnati on the cookies. I just, well, let's wrap it up with that.

I will go on like, you know, this black party because you're on there a lot. You've been on with me. I'll do, I've been doing YouTube shows before I started here at night. And my guy Delco Steve comes on with me on the, on the nighttime YouTube show. And he had said to me last night, kind of out of nowhere, I wasn't even leading him in any question. But he said last night he goes, Oh, I'm like, so what do you think of the game? Here's his response. I'm talking about the Eagles game. His response was, I'm a six out of 10 on the worry meter for Jalen Hertz. And I haven't, I haven't listened to WIP. I haven't listened to talk radio this week to hear what people are saying about it. It was a Friday game. So there's not a lot of, like a Sunday game, people go crazy on Monday and then they calm down by Wednesday. So maybe people had calmed down. I'm curious if a lot of people out there have a worry about Jalen Hertz. And here's, here's what I said to him, black gritty. I said, you know what, I think you're overreacting to be worried about Jalen Hertz, but I also don't think it's, it's crazy to see, to see him play and to be like, you know what? I don't know. I like that, those decisions that he made, I, there was something that's just been off a little bit about them. So I ask you, or if there's a worry meter on Jalen Hertz, one to 10, where are you 10 being? Oh my God. I'm so worried. Let's get Ron Jowarski out of retirement. Where are you on the worry meter? Today I'm at a two, if you'd ask me in the first quarter, I was at a 15, but today I'm at a two. Okay. I believe Jalen is the guy that I want him to be and I need him to be. And hopefully winning that game and making those mistakes is going to make him realize I've got all the weapons in the world. I don't have to play hero ball. And if he just works within his system, he will be just fine because thank goodness they won that game, Johnny. You know, it is if they were to lost 10 days of fire and vitriol, they won and they still got 10 days of like, I don't know what's going on, you don't believe it. I'm like, so if you were in the camp of Jalen Hertz, you're still in the camp of Jalen Hertz. If you were wishy washy, you're more wishy washy right now. Right. You know, I think that's a, that's a good way to put it. I'll say, I'll say this that, and I was thinking about this last last night after Delco Steve said it. Yeah. Like, yeah, hard to play well in the game. He had those mistakes that were like, what are you, like, what are you doing? And I know that it's been explained that AJ Brown slipped and, and all this other stuff, but like they were boneheaded decisions, in my opinion, right? But like if you had another quarterback, a capable quarterback, do the Eagles win that game against the Packers six or seven against the blitz, which everybody cried about, end the game after having a turnover, 16 play drive, nine minutes, walk the dog, sealed the game away. What more can you ask for from a quarterback and, but I'm not, I thought he played well and that last drive was big because it, that really sealed the deal. It took the time off the clock, but is he really doing anything extraordinary to where when you watch the games, you watch that game and you say, damn, they don't win that game without Jalen Hertz. Like, no, the dreaded game manager, a day, we have a ton of talent. If you, if you, if you have, if you have a B minus or a B quarterback with AJ Brown, Devontay Smith, Saequan Barkley and that offensive line, aren't the Eagles still a 10 or 11 win team? I mean, men's shoe came out there and put up 34 points against the Cowboys with, with the team. So I would say yes, but at the same time, I got to go for my God. Don't put me in a position. I feel like, I feel like Tyler, I'll bring you in on this. I feel like we baby Jalen Hertz too much when we talk about like, Oh, well, like that was such a great throw to Saequan Barkley, man, if you're on the NFL, you got to make that throw every frickin single time. That's not like, that's not a throw where you watching you say like, wow, there's not a lot of people that can make that throw. You made up basic. It was a good throw. He dropped it in perfectly. It was well designed. It was a great throw. Let's not go overboard on some of these throws that he makes because we know he's at the best passer in the world. I feel like we baby him too much on this crap and I feel like we do that. But at the same time, it's some people go so hard. It makes you do it again. He had very poor decisions that were made and he did it on his own accord. The line wasn't breaking down. It was all on him and his heroism of, I want to win this game and we've got set back. He's got to get out of his own way. And again, game manager is not a terrible thing. And if you don't do that, then put tenor in because tenor time is my guy too. I mean, he's on there. He's on time delivers doesn't need to do nothing fancy. So Jalen's just got to get it together or he will get the vitriol that he deserves and earns if he does throw four interceptions again because he almost threw five interceptions that game. He did. The fumbles I'm not going to put on him because I saw a lot of games and a lot of center exchanges like whatever preseason doesn't matter because everybody's having them. But those interceptions were bad and those potential interceptions were bad. But when you don't have the amazing, I'm like, you're talking about, you can't throw across your body, bro. You're not going to throw a pick six that would have cost you the game on third and 13 were a field goal and AJ was wide open. Yes. Like I, so like I give them all again and I gave them all again based on last year because I thought the coaching and the play calling was horrible and he was the leading MVP candidate through 11 games. They were 10 and one. I try to remind myself that all the time, but when I hear the, I hear these, these hurts a hallics, they're like, Oh, but it was such a great past man. He's through a basic NFL pass by a quarterback and any quarterback in the NFL starting quarterbacks would be able to make those throws. You do it, Johnny March. You do it. I'm not a Tyler. How do you feel about this? Can we get you behind the line and get you on the center so you can make that throw in yourself. Ellie. Sure. Parks can score a one yard touchdown. No, we can't. Maybe I could. You can't a baseball. He can't score yard. Can't do. I can't even walk outside in the rain. I like this guy. He is scared of the rain. Yeah. So I think that there has to be a medium, a medium ground between the two where I, the, my excitement with Kellen Moore coming in to be the offensive coordinator, we saw a little bit more motion in week one than we saw at any point. Well, that's not hard to do during, you know, last season, like so, and the point I'm trying to make here is like, I don't know if you guys watched the Rams on Sunday night, the Lions Rams, the Rams don't stop moving. They are always in motion. And I'm not asking for that, but anything more than the concrete feet that they had at the line last year is an improvement. So I think it's going to take a little bit of time for a team maturation process with this new, this new system. So I give them a pass on that regard. I don't give them a pass on things like you guys talked about, the crossbody, you know, throws the decision making at times were poor. I thought Jalen Hertz played okay on Friday. I thought there was, I think that maybe you're underselling the throw to say, Quan, a little bit, John, but I think that we can't oversell or undersell the, the, the, because to me, the worst throw that he made was the one that didn't get picked off, probably should have been picked off. And then if it would have been probably ends up, yeah, goes for, you know, he's goes, goes for 95 yards down the field. I think that he played okay, had some good throws, had some bad throws, had some bad decision making. I'll be interested to see back at home this week, you know, no travel, no, no different field conditions. I'm not giving passes, but I think that there's a, a reasonable allowance with all the outside factors. So if he is, if he plays the same game in Philly on Monday night that he played in Brazil on Friday, I think people will start to potentially worry about things a little bit more. If the decision making cleaned up, he's a little crisper, he's a little sharper with his decisions. I think that the, that the, any kind of panic that sets in will probably dissipate pretty quickly. I'm at a three. Yeah, I'm, I'm definitely not at a six. I'd, I'm probably at a three, two and by the way, it was a good throw to take on Barkley, but let's not, let's not get carried away with how difficult the best throw of the year already is Richardson when he slipped and almost fell and just stood up in just 60 yards. I mean, you know, so that dude's unbelievable, yeah, the rest of his game was falling apart sometimes, but I mean, there are certain moments where you're just like, okay, Cam Newton, baby, Shaq, a lot, whatever you are, and that's why I mean he was a, he was like a 51% completion percentage in college and he was still a top five, top four pick. Yeah. For that. Yeah. He's just bigger faster. Yeah. Stronger than everybody else. He's unbelievable. All right. Well, not only the 51% completion percentage, John, he played like six games at Florida as a starting quarterback. Like he was running around for most of them. So gifted at the skill portion of the quarterback position, like any kind of maturation in the decision making and the cleaning up the accuracy issues, he's going to be legit. Now, I don't know when that happens. It might take some time, but he's so gifted that you see throws like you, like you saw the other day, he's got to stay healthy. That's 100%. He's got to stay healthy. He was before he was before he got, he got sent out for the year with the shoulder injury. He was getting knocked out of games earlier. Yeah. And there's games leading up to it. I know that said him in fantasy football. He was killing him. Like that's great. He knocked out for the season. So anyway, all right. So yesterday, quite a, quite a story came out. Shannon Sharp on his insta live. I was like, people are watching and, you know, like what's going on? It sounds like are they? So Shannon Sharp's insta live was two people making love, black gritty and uncle's getting it in. He was now was getting it in the initial reaction from their camp on a social media was he was hacked. And he had said last night that he didn't put that out there like his agents or like his, his team did or whatever. Um, so it was it. You couldn't see anything but the ceiling, I guess. And I didn't watch any of it. I wanted nothing to do with watching any of it. But a man has heard saying, let me put this in you and you know what I like. And that's my Michelle in a voice resembling Sharp because it was. So he went on last night, the club with, uh, so it's nightcap. Yep. With Chad Johnson. And now like he owned up to it as he should because he didn't do anything wrong. You know, he's on his Instagram. He hits a button by mistake. Maybe he even like threw the phone on the bed saying like, yeah, let's go Michelle. And it activated Instagram live and unbeknownst to him, it was just his first porno, which he wasn't in, but you could hear it. And of course, somebody records it because why wouldn't you record it? You didn't, you didn't, you didn't even listen to it. You didn't. I didn't want it. I didn't need to hear Shannon, man. He gave her the best two minutes of his life. He was on her ground. He was going, he was going in. So given her the best that he got. Was that the duration of it? Yeah. It was like two minutes. It wasn't very long. And then it was, say, I didn't know if like, then he, because people started hitting him up being like, yo, you know, his other phone people were calling him and calling him. And, uh, and I know if he stopped it, if he's like, what's going on? And he, and so, so the act was finished. You're saying it was, I mean, I wasn't your hustle in that heart. I'm just saying it didn't sound like it was a, it sounded like it was, yeah, again, he was growl. He was working. He was, he was doing his best. And so it was only, it was only two minutes or other. The phone guy kicked off because we kept blowing it up and calling or whatever was going on. Right. Um, but, uh, yeah, he, he sat there and he said, Hey, look, I haven't knows a mistake. He's a single guy. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like all consensual adult stuff. So it's just funny when it happens like that. And everybody says all they were hacked. At least he stood there like a man said, Hey, look, it happened. My bad. So this is what happens in 2024. You used to get the butt dial. And if it feels like the butt dials over with, you don't get a lot of butt dials anymore, but maybe 10 years ago, eight years ago, you got the butt dials, right? Yeah. And then with, with Zoom during COVID, you had guys that didn't have their pants on or touching themselves. Yeah. I didn't get up a walk away from the thing. You know, I pants on my guy. Okay. Like you're working from home, bro, but still put some short is at least, at least those some shorts on lady. Like, what are we doing? So that was a lot going down zoom. The new technology said people love it. Draymond Green, you know, his situation, a while ago on Snapchat, he's like, what are these young kids snapping? I thought it disappeared. No, no screenshots, bro, screenshots. So yeah, gotta be careful out here in these streets, you on the internet. Yep. No, I thankfully I've never had a, you know, I've never had a mishap like that. I've had the butt dial and I've texted the wrong person, but it wasn't necessarily all that bad, right? Have you ever did black, or have you ever texted somebody not realizing you were texting that person talking about that person? Or maybe the one thing that's happened to us, or at least to me, and I won't, I'll protect the innocent here. But there was a group chat among friends, and then there was a separate group chat. And in that group chat, they would talk crap on somebody else that was in the group chat. Yeah. I mean, and they tested, that's not friends, man. You guys don't like each other. They texted the wrong group chat, the person out of the group chat. Well, they were, they were bitching because this person always says they're going to do something and then they don't end up doing it. So it was like, Oh yeah, I'll come out common. And then it was like, Oh yeah, sure. I'm sure he's really going to bleep and show up. Never blah, blah, blah. That's like, Oh, that's a good roundabout way to cause somebody out. My best accident on text was somebody texted me and asked me my opinion on a company and I actually knew the company. So I started talking to this person and they were like, yeah, well, I'm going to email you the paperwork. If you get it done, I can get you two million by tomorrow. And I was like, here's my email address. He's like, who are you? And I'm like, it doesn't matter. I want two million dollars. We've been talking for 20 minutes. I spent my time. I just served the money. So they were completely talking to somebody else. I guess a client or whatever they thought they were talking to. That's where they go. Wrong number. And you go absolutely right. I was, I sent my email address like, I knew who I was talking to. Right. Here's my route. I didn't even ask who it was. Like it just happened to me because people just text you randomly from a new number. But I actually knew what the conversation was about. So I'm just talking about it. And next thing I know, he's like, I'm sending over the contract. I'm like, okay, here's my email address. He's like, who are you? I'm like, I'm the guy waiting for two million dollars. Where's my money? I spent my time working. This is consulting for you. I need my money. Yeah. Sounds reasonable. Yeah. It didn't work out. I didn't get to my million dollars. That's why I was about to be DoorDash. And now I'm here. That's why he's here. Yeah. That's why we're all. That's not too million. I accumulated a lot of debt for not working for nine months. Should I do it? What's the best? What's the best thing? Door dashing or Uber? Because I feel like if I door dash, I'm going to be delivering food to, to people who are like, Johnny Marks. Hey, Lisa, if I'm Ubering, I feel like that it's, you know, like I, it's, well, I guess anything would be content for this. John, the thing with, with the door, like I did Uber Eats for a while when I was trying to make some extra cash and most, and it's a little different now, but like, especially post pandemic for a while, it was no contact. So you would just drop it off of the door. You take a picture, you go, Hey, it's so like that for me. And then you walk away. And then it's like, you know, you, you see them kind of open the door as, as you're getting in your car and leaving, you make sure they get their food and whatnot. But like, you don't have to talk to anybody. Right. Honestly, it really wasn't bad. Like I would drive around, listen to music and just drop people food off. Right. I don't know if you knows about him, Tyler. But Johnny Marks, I hear making that only fans big foot money. That's right. He just out in the woods. Yeah. I mean, getting spotted by people. Yeah, I would go to cash. By the way, shout out to the diehards out there. Thank you very much. So all our diehards. We love you. Um, yes, I was thinking about it. I'm like, all right, if I do Uber, could I do like Thursday night football, because Thursday night football, I like to listen to NFL and the radio. So I could drive around. Yeah. And yeah, like it games usually over like 12 o'clock or whatever. So I could probably work a couple hours and make some money. I know, uh, in Phoenixville, I talked to this one, Uber driver. And he's like, yeah, you can just do like runs from, from downtown Phoenixville, where all the bars are and stuff. And people Uber in and Uber out, you can make an easy couple hundred bucks over a couple hours. I wonder if you did that. People I would notice who you were. It would. Like does Johnny Marks? They would. I, I, I door dash myself sometimes just to pay myself. If I'm already going to pick the food up anyway, really, I just hire myself to go door dash and then you pay your, do you really do that? Yeah. Wow. I'm already going out. I, I never use door dash otherwise because just for yourself, I can drive. So I'm like, I set it up one day and I was like, yeah. So now when I go to wherever I just order myself, my door dash and I get paid myself. I'm already going there. Well, America. Well, that's how you do it. You got a double dip. I'm thinking about it. I just don't want to have to like, cause they got car seats in the car. And then like every time you take the car seats out, like I clean it, I can't have slobs back there. And then, you know, someone spill stuff with throws up or whatever. So I'm saying that's why you do the food. You don't even worry about somebody else getting in your car or people's food. You put the drink in your cup holder. You put the food on this, the passenger seat and you just go. Let's go, Johnny Marks. Let's do it. Like one week, let's just go to test run door dash one, two, three door dash. That's right. We do live show. We'll do the show from door dash. Zul is on board. Let's get it. Did you hear about the door dash driver that delivered the wrong drink to the customer? Yeah. It was a Chick-fil-A milkshake and he had a peak up in the center console and he delivered the peak up as opposed to the milkshake. Yeah, we'll see that. That's even worse because if you go do, if you do the door dash in the Uber, most of the time you're going into the restaurant to go pick the food up and there's a bathroom right there. You use the bath. That's disgusting. So I'll leave this, this story and I'm a, I'm a, I'm like a D list celebrity in the area, but also if you're a sports fan, you listen to sports radio, you're probably pretty impressed if you, whatever reason, if you meet me. So I go into the Chick-fil-A in Limerick and cause like you black gritty, I'm not door dash and I'm picking stuff up. You know what I mean? I don't need paid extra $10 and then delivery charge on top of it. I got a car, gas tank, $2 drive out there. So this place is fricking packed. You know Chick-fil-A's are unbelievable and they're so efficient. I go in, I'm telling you, there's like 10 people waiting for door dash orders. There's a dining room full of people, everybody's waiting for their food. And I just hear, you know, and it's not all that loud and this, and this, this kid goes, Johnny Marks, are you Johnny Marks? And like everybody stops and looks at me and I'm like, Oh, Jesus Christ, man. I'm like, Hey, what's up or whatever, like that? He was so happy to see me. And then we're doing the conversation or whatever. I was like, I get me to get me to bleep out of here right now. Look at that beard. Look at that sexy hairline. Of course, he was happy to see Johnny Marks. Thanks. Johnny Marks for that. Yeah. So that, so maybe, maybe we'll door dash. Could we do the show from the door dash? We can do it live, baby. Let's get it in. We could do it. Man, we got the technology. We can work. We might do one door dash. We might do it over one week. You know what I mean? Uber with the boys. Ubering to me. I like the Ubering because of the people that you would meet and you never know where the night's going to take you, right? And you got a van, right? Your family guy, right? You got a van? I'm not taking the mini van. It'd be in Ohio. We get the van. We get Tyler back there. We could even pick up her. We might just go run around the streets. Speaking of that, can I see the picture of Herb? Did you see this black gritty herb? I don't know if Tyler knows her, but Herb from the earth. He's Philly is, is kind of like my mascot. Yeah. Yeah. Is that sure for Sachi? That's her. It's like $900. So he's still in Brazil. He's in Rio. He's, he's there for like 10 days. He, he doesn't come back to the 16th. You can't go down to Brazil for today. People don't understand. Brazil is Brazil for a reason. Yeah. It was worried about all that crime and stuff like that. Herb is out there balling right now. I heard a word about a thing. It is. So I, I kind of have an idea. Herb is one of, one of your like longstanding callers right from the radio days. He's a wack. Yeah. There's, if we had a whack pack to steal Howard, certain things. Yeah. He's in the whack. Okay. Yes. Yes. That's her. He's going to come in. He wants to come in studio to, to do the show. And it would be a little bit different than black gritty because a little bit different, just a little bit different. All right, everybody. Thanks for tuning in. Big show tomorrow. Big weekend series for the fills is the Mets come in the town. So I have a special guest coming on the Marr morning to talk a little fillies and Mets. Otherwise, so pick on, pick on Thursday in a football. What do we got? I went to the bedparks app. What do we got here? I forget and what was the line? Oh, two and a half dolphins, two and a half hosting the bills. What do you guys like? I like the dolphins tonight. Black gritty. I like, who's at home? Dolphins are at home. I like the officer home home, home team on Thursday nights are always both team won their first game. Yeah, bills came back to us in the second half to beat the Cardinals. Miami was lucky to win that game. It looked like crap. They did. Can I, can I take a cop out answer and just take the over? Yeah, the over 99. I think I take the over on Thursday night. Definitely look at me. We run up and pick. There'll be some points. All right. Everybody. We're back tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. Then again, you can watch on YouTube whenever you want to Roku TV and the podcast will be up there shortly. So enjoy the podcast. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
