I hope you're having a fantastic day as we're off and running with the top sports stories of the day every afternoon here at 2 o'clock. G Bag of the day is coming up at 2.30. There's Brian brought us the former Cowboy Scout NFL executive looking more long horn every day in his pearl snap shirt and his Texas Cowboys head. The organization that my son's involved with, they fire the cannons and they're the kind of the face of the school and stuff, been around since 1922. Quite impressive. He and Arch Manning are brothers in the Texas Cowboys. So yeah, this is the guys that wear the hats, the chaps and the white shirts and stuff like that. So really proud of him for that. He'd sent me a text yesterday with a picture of him. Said dad, I'm starting my 15th year of school, you know, like he had the backpack. What is he, a junior now? He's a junior. He's a junior. He's a junior in Texas. Yeah. Holy crap. Your number 15. Yeah. He had his 15th year of high of school. And I'm like, okay, here we go. He's going to graduate on time, isn't he? He is. And then he's going to get ahead of ourselves. He got, he got, yeah, unless he starts drinking massively, even more, but the. I have to say, dude, he's, he's, he's already got into a master's program there at the McCombs Business School. They've already asked me to be in this master's program for his or for the finance stuff that he does. So how do you mind? His mom, his mom can handle that and I'm just got to get him the four years. That's my answer. That's it. Right. Yeah, I'm done. And you're done. Well, congratulations. He made a Longhorn out of you is what that kid did. You know what? Until it turns into like the season of sports actually starts because Texas is now being in the SEC. Yeah. But yeah, I just thought it were the hat in honor of him today. See, I see a skirt in those rules just a little more every season. Yeah. I just, I think you know, hey, I, I'm proud of him, but Texas is, Texas is in the SEC now. There's no love there. Okay. Love. Love for what my son does. No love for the. No, you're out. It says more and more. I've been wearing this. I've worn this shirt before when the shirt before the LSU lead. I know. It just, it just hits with the, with the Longhorn had a little different week one week. Don't be so absurd. I'm just saying it. Don't be so absurd. I've come to know that I want to fight about this owner. Let's fight. Okay. Yeah. I see a beautiful white and burnt orange. It is nice to see though that brought us to his Jerry Cape off before coming in today. Yeah. I was over having lunch with Jerry at the club today and he, he kind of said, where you spin feet. Never. Dawson's a son of a bitch. I've said, Hey, you know, he's really a good dude. You know, I'm, it's okay. Jerry. Don't worry about Dawson. He's, he's harmless. He doesn't really mean what he's saying. All those bad things about. Hey, I'm just playing my part. I'm sure he and, and he's playing his part too, right? Yeah. He's playing his part. And you know, he knows it all. It's all part of the deal. Yeah. There's Lucius Alexander, the pimp cup over there at master control here, 75 and fits you. He's a UT man himself. He is. You got Eric Chia. Follow in the house. Zach Wollchuck is, he's on dad duty. He's having himself a brilliant time. Sit him some love on, on social. I heard the plane flight. You said it was good for him. Yeah. I was trying to talk him out of that. Oh, I know. He was stressing about that. But he said it went well. Yeah. So I would imagine, and then I haven't heard from him. So yeah, I'm probably having a great time. This baby's locking in after, after takeoff, you know, it's rare that you can't one that just... That baby's four months, right? Four or five months? Some, something like that. Yeah. What a gamble. What a gamble. This is just a Florida though, right? What is that? An hour and a half? Something like that. Yeah, I would say a couple, two hours. Yeah. Maybe a couple. Carter Freeman is coordinating your video. You could watch it. So when I'll find that the fan.com Twitch and YouTube, last, last flight I took, it left a mark on me. And now whenever I think about somebody flying, it's just like, I see, I don't know, I might need to go to therapy for this one. It's still, it's still with me a week and a half later. Is that that frontier bit? No, that... Well, this was a spirit flight chief. You didn't get this story when I flew into Vegas that Friday when I was off. Oh, you would spirit. It was so... What are you doing yourself? Well, I... You just... Like you're punishing yourself. I was trying to say 58 bucks, huh? Oh, oh, oh, oh. That is all good for short flights. Yeah. You get massively drunk and you take your little short flight and get it over with. Yeah. What's a short flight? Lucius, under 90 minutes? Ah, maybe. Yeah. As long as you... It's the most, bro. Right. That's... Yeah. I just feel like with spirit, it's just... It's such a gamble. Well, they do have the highest safety record and I found out after this traumatic experience why they leave nothing to chance. So we're coming into Vegas, it's super windy and the wings are going like back and forth. Touch the ground there. We're about to have a wing strike and dude gasses it. Yeah. Oh, no. And so we go back up and then we're circling, we try again, this time he didn't even get that close. And I'm like, crap, I don't know, we got to go to Los Angeles, just get me off this plane. And since you're on spirit, you're sitting on somebody else's lap and it makes it even more uncomfortable. You know, damn, lawn chair. Here's the thing I found about a spirit and frontier. You know, you don't want to have obviously luggage or even a roller bag, just a personal item which can be a backpack, fanny pack really. So if you're going for like... Oh, that's perfect for you that doesn't carry luggage. Yeah. Exactly. I'm going to go for a week and not carry a luggage. Now we're super actual budget, I can use that money to pay the extra 40 or 50 bucks to be in the front seat. Okay. So now when that thing gets up, I just get up and walk off the jet. I don't worry about somebody leaning back into me. They will get you on those baggage, Joe. That spirit, they will build in some charges. Next thing you know, you're going to go to the men's room, 750. Oh, yeah. And to have the whole family out there with the suitcase is wide open, switching stuff around. Yeah. Holding up the line. Oh, for sure. I done did that before. And we're on asking for refreshments and I was like, I'll just take a water. They say that'll be $7. Yeah. I was like, oh, my bad. Yeah. Never mind. I'll rud dog this thing. I'm good. We are going to talk with Cody Bradford today coming up at 320 for the Rangers player show straight out of Alito, Texas and Baylor. And you know, I started the year on fire. We were still excited about this Ranger season. He was three and oh with a one four, then he got hurt, but now he's back still dealing pretty good. That's Cody Bradford coming up at 320 Mike Sando at four o'clock. Is he with the athletic now? Yes. Okay. And he has quarterback tears today, right? Yeah. And I'm sure we'll talk sandwiches with them too. Absolutely. Rangers back at it tonight at six 30 with the pregame. They'll visit the white socks and Sandler is going to join us at six o'clock. We're going to have Cowboys linebacker Eric Kendrick's for our Cowboys player show. How about that, man? That's 30 days. It's 40. Yeah. That's going to be fun. You know, the KMC masterpiece during training camp, if you didn't hear that, just take our word for it or you could go find it on YouTube or something. But he's got great energy and you know, he's interested in a lot of different stuff. So I think, you know, it's a perfect candidate here for a weekly. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, when he when he agreed to the deal with the Cowboys in the off season, he joined like busing with the boys. He was on Pat McAfee like he's a guy that's got some personality, certainly has some stories. And I'm looking forward to it. That's great news. So we're about 51 minutes now from the cuts being due, Brian. Yeah, I'm laughing because, you know, we were talking about wood being on the team. I just got a text. He's not something shifted. Sounds like woods getting released now. Oh no. So I don't know. I kind of thought he was going to be the guy will say something shifted. Something shifted. You hear that? Leave it alone, bro. Something shifted. Where are we? Does that mean Dalvin cook is signing? I don't know. I don't know what to do. But he was going to be I had him on my I had him on my 53 and I was talking with some guys on the way in like, hey, you know, this guy's got a good got a good shot. Looks like he's going to make it. Now I'm getting the something shifted. So anyway, that's kind of where we're at. So he might not. We'll see. Like you said, here in here in 50 minutes, we'll know exactly the Cowboys will release all their cuts at 340 crutches corner. I'll go through all of them. See where we're at. Sounds like a bunch of bullshifts to me. It is when you're dealing with this stuff, we just would kid can play a little bit. I was thinking about the reason I put him on the roster was because of those running backs. And I don't know who's going to play special teams on that. We're going to have to we're going to have to hashtag it and get it going viral. You know, hashtag. Don't touch our wood just to other teams in the end. Of course. Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead. You can. Don't you dare take him away from our practice squad. Yeah. Don't take our wood away. So we, we've been hearing from you that Carl Lawson's better against the run in the past. That maybe should have been a warning sign. Yeah. How about that? I'm not actually reporting. He's not even going to make the team. Yeah. Todd Archer's reporting that they're probably going to release him. He's a vested veteran. So he would be immediately free. Maybe that's a, you know, bring him on to the practice squad kind of thing. So we'll see. There's going to be a lot of this roster gymnastics coming up here in the next 50 minutes or so. But the roster as it is will probably not be the roster that we'll have in three days. There'll be, there'll be claims. There'll be guys who lost. They'll put guys on Ninja Reserve. This Tom, I believe Thomas, the rookie from Louisiana Lafayette, the guard he might be on. And then they put him on Ninja Reserve. When are they going to sign? Uh, when are they going to sign Lindville, Joseph? That's another one. You know, they, if, if he were to wait a couple of days, that keeps a roster spot for him right there. Then when you sign him, then maybe you put Thomas to the injured reserve. You know, so there's, there's a lot of things that are going to be happening here in the next 48 hours or so. So you watched Dalvin Cook. I did. What'd you think? I don't think he's, he's very similar to what you have with Ezekiel Elliott. He's just a little bit quicker. And you know, he could catch the ball. The things that Zeke does better, Zeke's a better blocker, Zeke, I think is a better receiver. I think that Dalvin Cook, the thing that Dalvin Cook lacks now is he no longer has that really that, that burst, that long burst that he used to have. When you watch him turn the corner, he can't get the corner like he once did. He was able to kind of get on the outside and turn it and then make things happen. But he's kind of a guy and probably a lot like Zeke. However good, however, excuse me, however good, however well the play is blocked. That's how many yards he's going to get because he's not going to make anybody miss. He's not going to run through weak arm tackles. I looked at anabenacanda from the Jets. I looked at him because pro football focus had him as the number one guy. And there's some, there's some positive things about him as a runner, uh, you know, could be as he an upgrade over what you're playing with. In some regards, I think he is. I still, I'm always trying to compare players to Rico Dattle. The problem with Rico Dattle is how healthy can you say if you, if you told me he was going to play for 17 games, I think you would be fine here, but there's really no guarantee of that. He never has done it. Even as a part time player, he hasn't stayed healthy. So that, that's something that has to concern you. But this Dalvin cook thing, I, I feel like you've got a similar guy to what you're playing with already. All right. Very interesting. I mean, that, that would look good on paper. I mean, it's a good name in Dalvin cook. So it's like, it's like, I can't rule it out. You're just a, you're, you're literally a half decade too late. It's a good name. Carl Lawson was a good name and Linville Joseph might be a good name. And these were all good names three, four years ago. For sure. Okay. The Titans are releasing former first round pick Caleb Farley, the corner I remember talking a lot about him. He's appeared in just 12 games, though, but a massive disappointment. Well, he's got back problems. Okay. Yeah. The Chiefs release the wide receiver, Caderius Tony. This could be it for him. Couldn't he? He's just a headache. Yeah. I don't know if anybody else is going to want to take on that baggage for the production. I'm just, I'm seeing from Tom Pellissero here, the Cowboys are trading Peyton Hendershot tied into the Chiefs for, for, I guess, just a late round conditional pick. Okay. So they were planning to cut him anyway. Yeah. And I guess the Chiefs were like, we'll just go ahead and make sure we get him. Yeah. The Chiefs are picking in the 32 hole on the claimings. And so, but Hendershot's a vested veteran, if I'm not mistaken, and you're three, yeah. So maybe he's not. I kind of thought he was a vested veteran. So good for them for making that happen. I guess since they were trading him because if he was a vested veteran, they would just wave him straight through. It's got to be exciting for him. Yeah. You know, you got to hang on to the football, you know, I know, I know that was frustrating, but his rookie year, he looked to be a playmaker. Yeah. And, you know, it's supposed to be Fergus shot. We're supposed to be in the era of Fergus shot running 12 personnel and two guys running up the seam and doing awesome touchdown dances, choreographed. That was a, we had a moment. This is where I think now that the guy like a span Ford, they, they, they're, they're likely going to keep four tight ends now. I thought they would only keep three, but maybe they're going to keep span Ford as, you know, they gave him a lot of guaranteed money. He's a rookie that maybe don't want to, they don't want to put him out. They don't want to, they know him that maybe if they put him out that he might get claimed because there were several teams that they had to make a big offer to get him to pay him a quite a bit of signing bonus. So they maybe they're worried that, you know, if we put him out there, we're not going to get him back. So that's, I think that's, I think that's kind of where we're at right now with these tight ends. Well, we are often running here in the GBAC nation, four and a half hour show, Rangers pregame at six 30 cooler weather in town cloud cover here from times throughout the day you're looking at upper eighties and lower nineties for labor day weekend with some possible thunderstorms actually lower chances of rain pretty much every day in the afternoon this week though. So be on the lookout for that new favorite snack actually doesn't involve a sugar gentleman. Couldn't believe it. Spicy pork rinds. Wow. The spicy. Oh yeah. Absolutely. 100%. Is there a certain brand that you're rocking with? I mean, I'm in the exploratory stages. Okay. Yeah. I'm open to suggestions, but I just grabbed a bag from Walmart on my way out last night. It was about the second or third time I've had some in the last couple of weeks and I just crushed the whole thing. I was like, by golly, this is my new jam right here. Fantastic. The hot and spite. Yeah. Those are bomb dude. I think that's probably like keto approved too. Right. Yeah. It's not hard to do some really good. Did it destroy the top of your mouth? No. No, I'm good. Because sometimes that the material, the texture of it thing, if you too many of them. I think it might be calloused from all the cat and crunch. Okay. I got you. I got them. Baconettes, bro. Get them bacon heads. Yeah. Another darn point line company out of Grand Prix, they're really damn good, dude. Yeah. There's a couple here in town and they're they're doing some great work. Okay. Where would you take our guy in a fantasy draft right now and the G bag of the day is coming up next right here? It's the G bag nation here home of the Cowboys and Rangers 105 to the fan. Yeah, buddy. Welcome back nation. Let's talk some more Cowboys with you top two fantasy players going into the season. How many people making their decisions right now, Christian McCaffrey and CD lamb. Which one are you taking segment is brought to you by window nation.

This one seemed easy to me, but you know, maybe I'm biased. I just think the injury risk with Christian McCaffrey is too much. That's that's it. Man, that is it. I mean, he's absolutely, but the thing about with Christian McCaffrey, if this was Carolina Panther guy, yeah, you wouldn't pick him, but he's kind of figured out how to keep playing games for San Francisco as he has, he has, it's amazing because he would got banged up at the end of the season though last year and was sort of limping into the playoffs a little bit and missed the last couple of games, but the nature of the beast and he's got a lot of mileage now. Yeah. It's only it's only a matter of time before whether it's just the general age factor and he's he's a half step slower and he's just not quite the same. But I think the injury risk is super high, but while he's playing in that offense, they're going to feed him. Yeah. I totally, but to me, lamb, you just can count on him and what's the offense going to be for the Cowboys? I feel like they'll be able to run the ball. I don't know what level they'll be able to run the ball with the with the backs. I think their offensive line will be better with the guys they've got. I think they'll be more of more of a powerful group, especially in the middle with BB and the combination blocks of BB and Martin and BB and Smith. I think that was the one thing when you even looked at the backups when BB was playing with, you know, with with TJ Bass and guys, man, they were securing down linemen and getting some movement. I can only imagine two, you know, pro ball guards playing next to BB with the power and able to push and then to cut the ball behind him. So if they figure out the backs, probably could run the ball a little bit better with this offense, but if they don't, it's going to be about lamb and Ferguson and cooks and probably Tolbert as well. Yeah, there's going to be a lot of targets. I think CD lam is probably a good bet to lead the NFL in number of targets, number of receptions and what was so impressive last year is even when the defense was focused on CD lam, he's still produced. So I don't think you could look at it like, well, the Cowboys offense is going to be two one dimensional and they'll be able to take it away. I think, you know, the Cowboys were still amongst the league leaders in almost every passing metric last year and their run game was pretty much nonexistent last year as well. Yeah, I think that it's a no brainer that CD lam is just going to be an absolute production monster with the way they move him around and everything like that. And the other thing too, and we kind of talked about this in the pregame show the other night brought us. But I wonder with the lack of real juice at the running back spot, you saw him play a little bit CD lamb in the backfield last year, like a handful of carries. Yeah, could you, how much more of that? Could you see? Oh, I think you could see plenty more. I think he welcomes the opportunity to play the various positions. I don't think he shies away where, you know, with Debo Samuel at the end was kind of, man, I don't always, if you know, if you're going to make me the running back to, you got to pay me to be the running back to because you're shorting a career. Yeah. I mean, but I think CD lamb welcomes the opportunity to have ball in hand and play that way. And it probably won't be that big of a deal if you're talking about, you know, 30 carries over the course of a year. Yeah. What are we talking here? Yeah. In my mind, I'm thinking like, yeah, a few carries a game perhaps, and you'd never know with the, with the ball in his hands, he's most impressive that way, where it's yards after catch yards after contact stuff, he's able to make people miss. So just an added element to his game to, from a fantasy perspective, rack it up. But I mean, PPR wet wise, like he's catching 10 balls a game pretty much. Yeah. Yeah. It's going to be incredible. And you know, could possibly be even more the great thing about getting wide receivers matched up with the ball in their hands is the guys lined up against them are typically, you know, inferior when it comes to tackling guys, you know, it's the, it's the bottom line is that a safety's linebackers, you're often looking at a corner as your first man to beat. And that's why when they measure it analytically, wide receivers outperform running backs when being handed the football and it is one of those massive opportunities that's blanking at you. But, you know, how much do teams want to risk their prime assets, their premium assets in the passing game to generate more in the ground game? So there's a real give and take there. Yeah. You've seen what's happened to Deebo Samuel. Yeah. Yeah. The other fantasy good players on this team is it just Dak and Ferguson is cooks a player you'd want on a fantasy team right now. Cooks is a player that yes, I mean, he's definitely a draftable type dude. He's not anywhere close to a top flight guy, but he's, he's wide receiver too. I guess in this offense, he's the third option behind Ferguson and in lamb. So he's draftable, but he's not high. And then, you know, the other asset that should be up for fantasy consideration right now, we haven't talked about this much, I believe should probably be the fourth round pick that you would have used on a runner with the trade lance, you know, trade. Yeah, that's, yeah, that's, you know, that's something they, they, they gambled on the quarterback and me personally, if, and Todd Archer was on with the morning guys and he was kind of talking about like, if this thing gets to Cleveland and Dak Prescott's not signed, why would he sign? What's the incentive for him to sign right now and just play it out and see what happens and you get to free agency and maybe you get what you want out of the deal. I still think the trade lance is probably in the picture here and I see him probably as a bridge guy, you know, they're going to, he's going to be the third quarterback this year likely the chances are slim, but there's a chance so we might as well play it out with the young guys. See where it goes. You know, I could, maybe he plays you into top five, I could see he could absolutely could or he, or they could, or he could figure out and yeah, you know, I know Chase Daniel, you want to wear another chase, Daniel was breaking down his interceptions this morning on and I, and I was watching it and it was really fascinating to see a former quarterback, you know, talk about, Hey, you can't, you know, you got to pick the side, you're going to throw to you, you got to throw here, you're got, you know, you've got three on two on the other side. You got two on two. So you don't, you know, you, why would you throw the ball to the three on two side? Right. Three being the three defenders, two, you know, receivers over there. So there's things that he is going to have to absolutely learn how to do. I could see, I could see them, you know, at the end of this, if, if Dak moves on to another place. Yeah, sure. He's going to be a bridge guy. We know what we have in trailer. It might have a new coach though too. New coach might say, and I'm not really interested in coaching up Trey Lance here and they might that then they'd change the path completely with the, with the quarterback room. I try something else, you know, but if there's nothing good in the draft next year, you know, I, I wouldn't mind, you know, essentially having a tank here under Trey Lance. But to answer your question, why would Dak not, uh, or why would he do a deal once the season starts? You're 31 years old. The last time you were on a contract year, you broke your leg in a, in a really scary way. There's a number out there, you know, yeah, or he, he could get $70 million from the Raiders. Sure. You know, that's, that's, I, but if you get hurt, you're not getting that number. Every time, every time he is gambled on himself, he's one. So I, I, I kind of agree with Todd here. There's no, there's no, there's nothing, there's nothing if I'm Dak Prescott and I understand what you're saying. Yeah. But every time he's gone to the, he's taking this opportunity to try and do something else. He's come up. Cowboys, fantasy power rankings, lamb Prescott Ferguson, butter, Aubrey, baby. No, that's the, you want, that's a bucket. He's got it stuck on automatic. He's probably going to break the record this year. I think he's going from 68 time now to go into the pimp cup. Here's Lucius. What up, though? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? All right. See, what'd be dangerous? What'd be day two for our guy, Kenny, the late, great Kenny, one of the greatest toalos of all time. He's no longer with us, but we have his clip here. He's already a G bag of the year nominee, so this might be the last day I vote for Kenny. I just wanted him to have his run so people can hear him and reminisce about his wit. Here's Kenny right here. What a joke for what you drinking and what you thinking. Today, I want to tell you a story about my friend, the quarterback. Okay. He had a lot of things in his life, but in any case, he never swam to Jordan River. Okay. Local boys, played UNT, played little Canadian football. All right. I haven't seen him one day a long time ago. He had his head down and he was real disappointed, and I said, "What's wrong?" He called me, he said, "Well, I'm going through a divorce." I said, "What happened?" Said, "Well, I picked this girl." She was my first draft toy. And I'm really, really disappointed. I thought she was a tied in, but I found out she was a wide receiver. Look at you saying it like it's a TV program or something, a wide receiver. What? I never got the, he never swum the Jordan River reference. I don't know, man. I think he was just being Kenny. That was a bar. Yeah. He's just adding to the story. A deflection. Yeah. He'll make it sit you out for it. Yeah. That was good. I mean, Matt Port skins is the name of those skins. They're dawson, Matt's Port skins. Okay. It's good stuff. You ever seen them like that? Cheat your own? Oh, yeah. They get the size like your arm? Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Get the, was it the El Rancho? Yeah. That might have been the ones. Big crunch. I know there was, I know they were a yellow bag. Oh, so good. I'm going back by Walmart tonight. I see my guy. All right. What was it? Three things can't be healthy, right? No. What? What is it? Really? Yeah. A lot of sodium in it. Saturated fat. Yeah. Fat. Yeah. It's got protein. I think that was President Bush's favorite snack. I think the dad. Which bush? Oh, Daddy Bush? The dad. I think the dad loves the pork. Good snack. The pork rinds. Yeah. The boss of the CIA at one point in time. Yeah. Yeah. You like the pork rinds. All right. Let's see. All right. We got Dana White right here. UFC boss. He's responding to the internet trolls. The internet trolls have been saying, Dana White has been glazing. John Jones. Oh, dang. Yeah. So I was just playing a lot. Is that consensual? Yeah. So Dana White defends himself, I guess. And for anybody who thinks, I know the whole, the whole internet, oh John Jones, you know, that I'm up John Jones ass. These are facts, facts. And since everybody has been such douchebags about this, I'm coming out with a nice little, nice little punch in the face for all you, think that John Jones isn't the greatest of all time. Whatever your beef is with John Jones, knock yourself out. There is no way in hell that John Jones doesn't want to fight aspinal. So that I guarantee you, John Jones will fight everybody. It's just facts, buddy. It's facts. He's not going to be delegations though. That was his Aaron Rodgers, I'm not gay moments, but he didn't hit it out the park like Aaron did. No. Let's go to the other side of the pond. Boss man sent me this one, dorking wanderers, football club, dorking Fc, you seen this? This is incredible. This is wild. Now, apparently this guy kind of owes the team to, he's the manager and he kind of owes the team his buddy's a little Jerry Jones in him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Send my pro football club in England. Here's the manager, his name is Mark White and he talks about beating an opponent and he's really happy about it. At one point I thought this interview might be slightly different. Sum that up, especially the second off. Well, first of all, I f*cking loved giving it to them St. Albans fans, singing all their f*cking sexually offensive songs like a bunch of f*ckheads and I love f*cking beating people like that and then giving it back. So, told them, boy, they can go and cry tonight around their mommy's house. Good f*cking luck lad, you got beat. Unlucky. Apart from that, apart from that, I thought it's an order. I had to get that all first. Apart from that. Apart from that. It's good stuff, bro. That was a wild team. Good. This is awesome. Dorking. Dorking. Dorking wanderers. Dorking. Yeah. That's one of my code words that I use for the soccer team, you know, when it's, when I don't want to cuss, you know, I say you're dorking around. Dorking around? Yeah. Yeah. That's quick dorking around. The literal definition of a dork is actually pretty scientific. You learned it from the animal planet. Really? You guys don't know what it is? Yeah. Oh man. What about you? What about you? I don't know what it is. You say animal planet. That right there. Gave me a little pause there, Eric. Which animal's penis is Irish? Yeah, exactly. Whales, Lucius. Yeah. Oh. It's easy. I knew it. I knew it. The whale. The whale, okay? I watched a, when I was young, I'll never forget this. Jock who's from the planet show I was watching, whatever, it was like real scientific, but they had a song and it's about animals mating. And they had a song and they said animals do it, people do it. What's going on? What is going on? Who came up with this UND baby? I'm like eight years old man, what's going on? Let's go to our high school football game where the PA announced they had a hot mic moment. Oh no. Turn around. Yeah. That's Mickey. Pass intended for number 11, Tyler George in complete penalty markers down. Turn around, you dumbass, re-desize. I don't know why I'm calling a 16 year old a dumbass. It's kind of redundant. Here's more ass hat. That's bad. That's going into the stadium. That's insane dude. Yeah, wow stuff. That's wonderful. Some crazy stuff for those PA announced here over the years. Is it our current champion, Kenny and Quinlan? Is it Dana White? I was just vouching out brothers. I looked up. I thought I was missing some. I thought that was my cue. Let's just say we ready to vote. There you go. Is it dorking FC? Yeah. The manager there. Oh man. You got some regular skins with some Louisiana hot sauce, bro. Oh my god. I'm going to get the salsa and the cheddar cheese. Yeah. Maybe some guac. Oh, you're really venturing out. I'll tell you what. I think you're going to do here. Yes. Maybe some ground beef. Yes. Our place is. The place that we go to like Mexican bar. Yeah. They have the pork rinds. With the guac. As the dipping. Yes. Because those things support us. Phenomenal dude. Are you ready to say do you like guac? Yeah. Because if you like guac dawson scoop it in there. Oh my gosh. I love it. Out of control. Do you really like guac? I think I'm going to call him porchez. Yeah, but don't put any onions or tomatoes in my guac. Okay. Well, that's not guac. I'll let you just. That's just avocados. Thank you. Salt and lime will be done. Can you get some of that seasoning stuff in there? Or is it the PA announcer with a hot mic moment? I'm going to do a dorking FC chief. How about you? Dang it. I think I am as well. Lucius. The high school PA announcer. Let's vote on this. Yeah. High school PA announcer. We're tied it to jump on to our Twitter account at G back nation. You can follow us all when you get there. All of our handles are in the bio at G back nation. We're coming back with what are we going to do here next? We got a little sports hodgepodge got the legend of the honey deuce and my new favorite football player. That's next year in the nation. Thank you very much, Lucius. A lot going on with the Cowboys, Peyton Henderson was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs for a conditional late round pick. We'll get more details on that coming up later. Cody Bradford Rangers pitcher out of a Lito at 320. It's time now for a sports hodgepodge. And here's the chief. This has to be the best business thing going in sports right now with this one individual athlete. Have you guys heard of this dude? Mondo do plant this. He's a Swedish American track and field star. He's a pole vaulting. He's familiar shoe. Is he really? Yeah. Do you know what he does? So I know he pole vaulted for Sweden. He should have been. He's from Louisiana. I don't know why Swedish Americans. Oh, this guy. Yeah. I've watched him and stuff. Yeah. What is his NIL stuff? What's his NIL stuff? What has he got? Oh, I have no idea. Oh, I thought maybe that's what you're talking about. No. So basically he's one of the he's clearly one of the best in the world. Oh, he is. Yes. He's a he's a continuous record setter and breaker. Yeah. Every time you break a world record, you get $100,000. And so he continues to break his own pole vaulting record by- Make her mentally. Yes. There you go. So he's getting $100,000 every single time. And so he's just doing it a centimeter at a time. Nice. And so now he's broken his own pole vault record 10 times. Brilliant. Since 2020. So he's accumulated a million dollars in bonuses over the last four years. And he's only like, he's super, he's a super young dude. Yeah. So he's probably, he probably has a few more years left in him of being able to break his own record one centimeter at a time. And it's just a hundred K every time. Why would I beat it by inches when I can do it by a centimeter and cash in more and more and more? It's brilliant. This is incredible. What a loophole he's found. So he's got like the top 10 all time pole vaults. Yeah. He just keeps breaking his own world record. Every single time he gets a hundred K for doing it every time. It's just, it's brilliant and I'm happy for him. We also have, are you guys familiar with this? The U S open cocktail? Yeah. It's some special. Yeah. The honey do's. Honey do's. Yeah. It's one of the most popular ones they have, right? I've never heard of this. Okay. I've never heard of this either. Well, they have some really good drinks at this place. Well, it's the signature cocktail at the U S open. It's been a staple at the tennis tournament since 2005 and a, just a monster cash cow for the, the organizers vendors at last year's U S open sold 450,000 honey do's over the 20 day event, which was up 11% from 2022, $22 a pop. Yeah. So it was almost $10 million, basically $10 million in sales for just that one concession item. Everybody absolutely loves it. It looks classy. It's just a gray goose and lemonade, but what they also add in there is a little bit of raspberry liqueur. Okay. Mm hmm. And three honey do melon balls that very cleverly resemble tennis balls. Yeah. And they kind of adorned the straw. It looks like. Yes. Exactly. It's a top it off. It's kind of like grapes. Yeah. They do. I don't even, I've never, I don't know what a honey do melon ball necessarily even is. It probably stops up all that liquor. I bet it's delicious. Yeah. It looks delightful. And they're absolutely crushing it in terms of, I mean, $10 million with just that one concession item over a three week period, because everybody just loves them. So, and now they're like, now they're making honey deuce like merch. Yeah. You can buy t-shirts and hats and stuff. It's really taking on a life. I wonder. It's a cocktail of the year. I wonder which drink sells more. I know it's how many days you say 20 days? 20 days. Okay. So that drink's going to sell more. But if you go to the Kentucky Derby, the mint julep, you know, that julep is the real deal. Yeah. That's a real, but that's a, that's a three day deal. So I don't, there's no way they can, the juleps would win on a per day basis. I bet. On a per day basis. I think they would. This, this might be an underrated place to go like, you know, day drinking, US open. I don't think you think you have to go in. I agree. They have all these screens and stuff that, that, that, that tennis center. It's funny. You take the train. And if you exit to the left, you go to city field, the exit to the right, you go to the tennis center. They're right across the tracks from each other. And so it's easy to get to that way with the, the train system, where it is. But yeah, you could, you could drink all day, get on the train, go back home. That would be fun. Yeah. That does sound like a good game. Anyway, yeah. Well, did you guys see what Caitlyn Clark did last night? She got banged up a little bit. Didn't you get banged up a little bit? I was like, yeah, well, she, she made even more WNBA rookie history against the Atlanta dream. We're three pointer of the night, which tied Ryan Howard for the WNBA rookie record for three pointers in a season with 85. The, the funny part about it though is she made it. And the person that was guarding her on it was Ryan Howard, the person that she tied the record. Oh geez. Howard was defending her on the play when she made it. So it was just kind of like a random deal, but she had a bunch of threes last night and ended up tying the, the rookie record in the WNBA for most threes in a rookie season. And she's her distance, her shot distance where she makes it is crazy, like well beyond the NBA three point line. She, her range is just absolutely ridiculous, but yeah, she did look like she rolled her ankle or something. I don't know. I just all still shots of it. And she was grimacing pretty bad, but I guess she was fine. And then did you guys see what her like a little basketball or butt crack on this? Anthony Edwards says that Michael Jordan was the only player with real skill back in the day. Yeah. He's tripping, bro. He's like, I didn't watch, but nobody had skill. That's basically the, uh, the context of what he said. Now, would you believe me if I said magic Johnson responded by saying I never respond. I've got that for if you want it. You do. Yeah. I got it, bro. I don't never respond to a guy that's never won a championship. I don't know if you have one of high schools that hits, that hits pretty hard right there. Like brought us to say, Anthony needs to be quiet, quiet, you need to be quiet. Type down. I love him saying I didn't watch back then, but they didn't have skill like it was just, it was just pretty incredible. It starts with, I didn't watch back in the day. So I can't speak on it, but just so you know, they didn't have skill. Skill was significantly less like dribbling was pretty much the left to point guards and shooting guards, you know, small forage, power forage. And you know, even some of those guards were hilarious, like Clyde Drexler only dribbled with one hand and his head was down the entire time. He would just raise up and like unleashes 45 inch for jam on you when he was done. You know, but the, the, the coaching was just so, so much less, you figured out basketball on your own up until like 20 years ago. Yeah. Now it's so specialized and early ages as well. Uh, did you guys see McDonald's is going to be releasing the, the chicken big Mac? Really? It's a big Mac, but now instead of beef patties, it's, it's the McChicken basically. Is it going to be plain broil stacked up? No, this is going to be, uh, this is going to be a fried chicken situation. I don't know if that'd make a McChicken Big Mac with all the cheese and lettuce and tomato and all that. Yeah. Same. Special sauce. Uh, yeah. It's going to be basically you're just subbing out the beef patty for the chicken chicken fried. It's the, it's the Big Mac without the, the patty. It's those chicken patties. Chicken. The chicken sandwich right now. All right. Yes. The chicken, chicken, big Mac. You don't like the McChicken from McDonald's? It's not my favorite. I understand. I do like it though. I think that's something that I'd be in on. Like, is there any food you don't like? We already talked about BK. Okay. Have it your way. Okay. Which is not at all. I mean, I hated you. Miss women. BK had a real run. Yeah. When the wafer was a wafer. I missed that too. Yeah. Yeah. He just, he's talking out of his rear right now. You did a hell of a job out of chief. Thank you so much.

The fan tell your friends Cody Bradford's coming up at 320 the Alito high school in Baylor star joins us for the Rangers player show here coming up in 20 time now for the NFL news of the day. And here's chief. All right. So the Cowboys have traded Peyton Henderson to the chiefs and at best, it's going to be a seventh round pick. And if he doesn't play or is not active enough throughout the season, then they will get nothing for him. But we shall see how that plays out. Now, plenty of other things going on. Certainly around the Cowboys, you have the Dalvin cook stuff. How about the the Tias Bowser stuff as well? They're bringing in another edge guy to take a look at him. They move on from Carl Lawson, Tias Bowser. I don't know how much you know about him brought us. I watched him this morning. You watch him this morning. Okay. So will you give? Are you doing that in Crusty's corner or? Yeah, I'll talk about him crushes. Yeah. Well, that's a guy who I do know. I saw John owning note like has recorded 10 plus percent in terms of pass rush win rate every year. He's been in the league. Got some injury history, but it's the injury history. That's really the big question. The Achilles or something. The film I had to watch was from 2022. Cause there's no. That's how long it's been. Yeah. Yeah. That's a true kicking the tires situation there. Yeah. You know what? It might be a situation too. And the waivers should be in now. We're at 301. So everything should, we should be getting a notice from the Cowboys of all the guys that they, uh, that they released. But I was here in a name of, of, of with wheat, Terrace wheat, you know, when we were talking to talk about guys, Muhammad, who they sign is going to be suspended for week one, who they really, really liked. But because of the loss and thing that we might be seeing that, that wheat, uh, you know, because he could play edge, he could play inside and he could play special teams. This guy might be a surprise, uh, guy that's, uh, on the team, uh, at least through the first, uh, the week of the, the season. Well, the NFL apparently decided against using a more accurate electric measuring system. Oh, they don't like this thing. They don't, uh, they don't like it enough to implement it. They're not digging it, are they? Yeah, they trialed it for the preseason to measure first downs. And I guess they're like, Hey, we have the technology for it. We proved during the preseason. It can work. Yeah. But we'd prefer not to use it. It didn't work with the index cards and the, uh, the old people and the chain gang. And then here's the thing. It's like, I got respect for the chain gang. Those guys were still there. They didn't lose their jobs. No, just because AI was coming in to help them. They weren't completely dismantling the chain gang. So it's like, why wouldn't you have the best of both worlds? You still get the chain gang. You're still going to get the moments where they're running out potentially with the, uh, the chains or whatever. But you have the technology to do it. And instead the NFL is like, thanks, but no, thanks. Were you at the game the other day? I know you, when we did the pregame show, you were hanging around for a little bit. They had a, they had a measurement and it didn't come off the right way. They were waiting for, they're waiting for the officials. Like we're going to have a virtual measurement. And so we're waiting. Oh, and it malfunction waiting, waiting, waiting. And he goes, it's third down and this much. He held up his hands and I'm sure this is terrible radio, but he gave it the, you know, he didn't specify the inches. He just held up his hands. Like it's third and short. Like he was talking about crowd sizes. Yeah. Okay. So that's, that was the, that, you know, they were, they were waiting and waiting and waiting. Okay. So I guess they don't have it dialed enough. Cause anytime I've seen it like watching on, from the house, it seemed fine. There's been some problem. There's been some issues that they haven't been able to do it in such a timely manner. They're trying to speed the games up and stuff like that. But there's times this thing's gone more than a minute. You know, them waiting around. Yeah. They got a troubleshoot that. I mean, it's not that big of a deal. You know, they got a good rhythm going and you know, they, they want to make sure they got it right before they change. But I think the disappointing thing here is they're, they're not using the technology to solve the biggest issue. They're kind of waiting into this and being like, well, we could do that part of it. And you know, maybe save us a minute or two, a, a game and, and save the, uh, inexactness. But what we, what we need is the precision of the, the spot. So you know, with certainty, where that ball was. And that's what we need. The technologies help for more than anything. Okay. Uh, Bobby just sent us over the, the, the 53 man. He did. He's got it for, uh, for the boys. Uh, look at that, getting it done. Look at this. That's, that's our Cowboys insider. That's our Cowboys insider right there. What a stud. Okay. Names to know. Doos Vaughn made the team. Congratulations buddy. Ryan florinoy, rookie wide out made the team buddy Johnson linebacker made the team. Mcquamoo made the team. Well, let's go. Tires wheat. You got the job buddy. They all made the team, span forward, span forwards on there. Yep. Uh, notable cuts. Josh ball, Malik Davis, Justin Rogers and Julius wood. Julius wood is one we hate to see go. Hopefully he's immediate practice squad guy. If he gets claimed, that's going to suck this morning. I was getting the vibe that he was on the team and then I could say I put him on yesterday on my 53 when we went through it because I felt like that he was going to help them potential on special teams. We'll see if he comes back. This is not, I don't think the final roster by any means you're going to have to give this thing a couple of days in order to be. How about buddy Johnson? Did you mention him? Yeah, yeah. Buddy Johnson made it. Yeah. Yeah. I think the surprising one too, again, mentioned was wheat that he, he made it. Uh, I'm noticing Bobby's list. He doesn't have lamb on this list. Not active yet. Uh, he says a note down below and adoga is going to go on the IR tomorrow. Okay. So that's what they're, but he's, but I guess they're going to keep him under that. Reserve did not report thing because, or the designation, whatever designation he is. Yeah. And then I guess that allows him them allows them to do the adoga thing and then switch it. So again, roster gymnastics going on with this team. All right. Well, juice Von makes it and no Malik Davis. I think that's something we weren't sure if they were going to do a few days ago and we're glad that they did it, but that running back room with Dalvin cook or if there's another guy that they like that could be out there or whatever, maybe that changes a little bit, but Bobby notes that he doesn't expect lamb to actually be on the 53 man roster until next week. So they will be doing some of those gymnastics here. Yeah. Okay. Now we got to get to the Mike Sando quarterback tiers, but I did want to play this sound from Bill Belichick on with the Pat McAfee show. Here's his thoughts on this new NFL, uh, the kickoff stuff. I mean, you put the wall on the 30 instead of 25. I mean, big deal, but I'd rather do that than, you know, to kick into one of these guys that, you know, it's got a chance to, you know, change field position on you in a hurry. So I think, I think we're going to, I think we saw more returns in preseason percentage wise than what we're going to see in the regular season. And again, remember, preseason, I mean, first of all, the games, other games and second of all, a lot of guys that are back there are just guys that, you know, teams will want to evaluate. So it's, it's a little different. They start talking about kicking off to, you know, Terpen and, you know, Duvernay and guys like that. I mean, I'd kick it out of the end zone. Yeah. You know, I wonder what the, what the yardage is, the starting position is that would make people accept that risk. That's what you got to do. Otherwise just kill the play. Yeah, I would say, and he suggested, like if you want to get kickoffs every time, just move the, the kicker back a little bit and he's got to kick it from a further distance so that you have to get a return every time. I've been watching a lot of film on these kickoffs here lately. And it seems to be that kickers are having a hard time getting the ball into that zone, that, that, that area that they're talking about. They're, they're kind of trying to punch it and see, but then it's going through, they're getting it all the way to the end zone. It doesn't seem like the kickers have a really good grasp yet of how to, how to make it, you know, without get it into the landing zone. The landing zone. Yeah. They're kind of trying to punch it and it's going too far. Now that's ended up on the three, there's been a lot of inconsistencies with this thing. You're thinking like, okay, well, are they working on it? Or are they just like, ah, we're not interested. I think the kickers have kind of screwed it up for the special teams coaches that kind of wanted to see their guys return it or cover. The kickers are just kind of like, we just don't have a good feel of how to, how to hit the shot the right way or hit the kick the right way to make that work. Other NFL news right now, you have Odo Beckham Jr. going to start on the, the physically unable to perform list with the dolphin. So home is the first few games of the season. You have the Rams trading their leading tackler at linebacker Ernest Jones to the Titans. So those are a couple of the, the moves that have been made here as it pertains to the week one Cleveland Browns who are the Cowboys opponent. They're going to be keeping Dorian Thompson Robinson, the UCLA second year quarterback. And they could be interested in trading James Winston. So that'll be something to monitor here as well. But we have the, does that mean they got four guys? Do they have four quarterbacks now? The Browns? Yeah. They, yeah, because they also have Tyler Huntley. Yeah. They have Watson Robinson, Winston and Huntley. So they're carrying four right now. I guess at the moment they are, they probably won't for much longer, but maybe they can move on from Winston. I don't know, but I don't know how you can, I don't know how you can move on from Winston right now with the status of the Sean Watson. But we do have the quarterback tears. Okay. So here it is. The athletic. He does this every year. Mike Sandow. He's going to join us at four o'clock, but he goes around and he talks to a bunch of different NFL executives and coaches and he comes up with the top 30 quarterbacks in the NFL. No rookies because we haven't seen him play yet and he tears them according to the way the executives and everybody, the coaches decide to rank their quarterbacks. And so a tier one quarterback is described as a quarterback that can carry his team each week. The team wins because of him. He expertly handles peer passing situations. He has no real holes in his game. I would make the argument that Pat Mahomes is really the only guy that completely fits that, but they will say it's not only Pat Mahomes Joe burrow and Josh Allen. Those are the three tier one quarterbacks right now, according to NFL executives. And I'm fine with that, but I'd also be fine with there's Mahomes and then they're sort of everybody else. Yeah. And I'm up for a conversation about burrow because I don't think we've seen enough of him, but Josh Allen, I feel like we've seen enough. There's massive, you know, game swinging interceptions or multi interception games. And I feel like overall the bills talent has been just as good as what Kansas City's had. And, you know, Josh Allen hasn't been able to punch through one time. That's, uh, it's pretty suspect. If you ask me, yeah, no, I mean, he had, he's had some really awesome playoff moments. He's gone toe to toe in arrowhead in a AFC championship game over time. And he was right there. So I still have him being if he's not the second best, he's the third best quarterback in the sport. But as you mentioned, the turnovers, that's like, okay, you do have a little bit of a hole here. So I would say Joe burrow and Josh Allen would be tier two guys for me personally. But the way they do tier two is quarterbacks that can carry his team sometimes, but not as consistently, he can handle peer passing situation in doses and or possession possesses other dimensions that are special enough to elevate him above tier three has a whole or two in his game. And this is where you'll see a handful of quarterbacks in tier two led by Lamar Jackson. Then you get to Matthew Stafford and Justin Herbert, then you're at Aaron Rodgers, CJ Stroud, and then you get to DAC. So they have DAC at nine and has a tier two quarterback, which is where he was last year as well. That's fair. How do you rank Aaron Rodgers? That one is tough to me because I feel like I still want to put him top three a lot of times. Top five. You're going top five. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, it's listen, we've never seen anything like this before, a player at that age coming off that injury. So it's difficult. And you can see it here from the quotes from the executives and the coaches and stuff like go bet against him. Offensive coach says maybe he falls off, but I just know the last time I saw him play, he can carry it. I'm going off of that. But then you talk to somebody else who is a head coach makes Aaron Rodgers, a tier three quarterback, according to this head coach, and he says you go back and watch those first four plays before he got hurt last year. He didn't look good. He says he looks old. If they can't protect him and they can't run the football, it'll be just what you saw. Late stages in Green Bay. He became ineffective. I'm looking at what he is, not who he is. So the late stages in Green Bay, they were 13 and three, you know, I think that last year, because they didn't have, he didn't have Devontae Adams that last season. They didn't, did they make the playoffs? Did they get beat by Detroit in the last year? Yes. Yes. They had a chance at the playoffs and Detroit went into Green Bay and Detroit planned for nothing. Detroit was playing for, for pride. Yeah. And they beat him. And they beat. So then his last year in Green Bay was definitely underwhelming. They won like maybe nine games or whatever. It too, until he completely falls off the map. I'm, I'm not betting against him. Okay. So that was two years ago in in 2022, 26 touchdowns, 12 pigs deteriorating offensive line. No Devontae Adams. I could see it. I can, you know, and I, I think there's uncertainty there. But what are we looking at here? 40 years old coming off and Achilles, I'm going to have to believe that he can't play because I saw him compromised against the Cowboys with that bad calf where he was limping around and still figured out ways to get to pulling to the pocket to, you know, make the play. He's like that snake. You got to cut the head off the killing. That's how you guys would still have him in your top five going in. If you go back for one game right now, he's in the top five of guys you take his, his brain power, right? The brain power for sure. The brain power. That that's what makes him so dangerous. I'd much rather have him than Dak Prescott. I'd much rather have him than Lamar Jackson. Um, you know, I'd much rather have him than Josh Allen. I think the only two guys I'd rather have are Mahomes in burrow. Okay. Well, uh, the quotes on Dak, you have him. Once again, he's at nine. They have him as a tier two guy. Uh, you have an offensive coordinator saying, Hey, Dak can roll out of the bed and throw for 450. It's unbelievable. It's just those moments in the playoffs. Niners, packers where you're like, if you want to be tier one, one of these times you're going to have to put that team on your back and will your team to a win? Yeah. Um, it's so unfortunate what happened with his leg injury because not only did it make him a little bit slower, but it also has discouraged him to run. He should have been a, a dual threat quarterback that made up for his shortcomings in reading the field under pressure and figured out a way to get first downs like he was in the process of doing against the Giants when he broke his leg. The offensive game plan wasn't working. He's second quarter. He said to hell with this, I'm taking us down the field and we're scoring. And that's the player that Dak was before the injury. And that gave him a chance to be in tier one. Yeah, that way. I mean, couldn't agree more. That would have been his best opportunity. And then of course, if he had a coach that was a super beast, I think he could have had some moments there as well that could really help elevate him, but he hasn't had that and now he's consistently about the eight or eight to 10th best quarterback in the league. Yeah. Yeah. And I think that's good enough to get the job done for sure. Lesser quarterbacks have been winning the Super Bowl, but the organization has to be aware of what your guy is. And that might be the biggest issue with self-evaluating your own guys with this football team is they don't know when they have a Tony rumble or a Dak Prescott that requires a significantly better team to win the Super Bowl with. You can't expect those guys to pick your team and carry it against, you know, what is oftentimes better rosters when you're when you're talking about teams that Tony and Dak had that either couldn't run or couldn't play defense the majority of the seasons. Okay. Cody Bradford Rangers player show, Mr. Alito, you know, he was the valedictorian there back in 2016, I think quite the big man on campus.

The Rangers player show is presented by golden chick and by globe life. Everyone has beneficiaries. Not everyone has life insurance globe life. Who's your beneficiary as Rangers pitcher Cody Bradford joins you now here. Well, it is. It's great to have you. You know, I think we talked to you in spring training and you start the season three and oh a one four O E. R. A. Then your back starts hurting. What were you thinking right then? Yeah, not really sure what to think. You know, it's kind of a weird, weird deal last starting in Oakland just earlier in the year came out. Like y'all said, it was the third start and woke up the next morning and my back was just totally locked up and turned around. My wife was like, babe, something's wrong. Like something this does not feel like normal day after tightness and went in and got it checked out and kind of just had all the findings of a strain muscle or something in my back and a couple of days went by didn't get any better. Got an MRI next week showed some inflammation. So like, all right, let's let's put a little, you know, steroid shot in there. See if that calms the muscles down. Did that a week later, still no, not much progress and kind of we're all me and the trainers and just scratching our head like what's going on here? This is kind of weird and got some more imaging done and figured out after all it's a rib stress fracture. How that happens? I have no idea. It's just, I guess, wear and tear from pitching is what I've been told and just kind of a freak deal. But the team doc, they said, yeah, while my time in baseball, I've never seen this one before. So there you go. A real, a real unicorn there was at the most pain is at the most physical baseball pain you've ever experienced. Um, it's got to be up there. I mean, I broke my nose as a kid one time in tee ball. I heard pretty bad, but maybe it was because I was about six years old too. So did you did you ever have like a nasty bat or were it was it always pitching for you? Um, I was never a great hitter. There was a reason I was a PO in college and an a PO towards the end of high school. I was not gifted to hit baseballs. Were you ever able to identify the moment? You know, the great home run hitter, Sammy Sosa, he suffered a broken bone in his back once after sneezing. Yeah, I heard about that, actually. I heard it was a rib or something, I think. And, uh, I don't know. I never felt it on a pitch for say, like there was never a snap or crack or anything. It was really after the game, I felt fine. And then the next morning I woke up and all back was locked up. So I don't know if it was I slept weird on it or if it was just something that happened overnight or like, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't have answers for that, I guess. Well, you got to be feeling pretty good out there now. Is that all that all that behind you? Yeah, a lot better. And now the Rangers did a great job with the medical staff. I went out to Arizona for a month to rehab and get a good routine out there and then came back and, um, you know, praise the Lord, my body's holding up now and, um, able to help the team out again. As it pertains to your preparation, I hear your pretty detailed dude like, do you keep a journal? Do you take notes of all these different hitters and stuff that you're going up against? Yeah, I do. Um, I mean, I appreciate that. Anytime somebody, you know, recognizes detail oriented, I'm appreciative of that, but, uh, not all of us throw a hundred. So I'm not the guy that can just go up there and be like, Hey, I'm going to throw my best two pitches today and roll the dice and see how it goes and dominate. You know, I definitely have to do my homework. And so being the student of the game, taking notes on hitters, um, doing a little bit more advanced scouting, um, all plays a big hand and certainly for me, um, trying to be successful at the big level. Cody, when you talk about your notes, is it one of those things where you kind of sit in the dugout and quietly do it while the game's going on? Or is it something that you go back and maybe with an iPad when you're sitting in your hotel room at night and something like that, you go through it then. Is it how do you, how do you get to your, uh, to your study? How do you get through it? Yeah. Yeah. The both. I think it's, it's, it's paying good attention to guys who pitch similar to you. Um, before you do. And so for me, uh, I know last year when I was in the bullpen, I would really watch Martin Perez and, uh, Andrew Heaney pitch a lot. And generally speaking, I'd really watch how Andrew threw where and how he used his four seamenest change up and then Martin, that's how he used his curveball or I guess he calls it a slider and his, um, his basketballs too. And just kind of paying attention and seeing what works on other hitters to guys who are similar to you during the game. And then after the game, obviously going in and doing some more advanced scouting, um, on my laptop and in the hotel room before games to kind of look through, um, some of the heat maps. I mean, the, the amount of data that's available on guys today, you can really have analysis paralysis and just get lost in weeds and stuff. But if you find something that works for you, um, that that's, that's all that matters. I'm, I'm interested in this. Do they, with all the detail that you go through, when you go through a scouting report, say maybe the day you're pitching, do they have to tailor it different to you because of the amount of work you do put in? No, I don't, I don't think so. I don't think it's, it's tailored any different from the amount of prep the starting pitcher does. I think it definitely helps when, um, you know, the player comes ready to the meeting to meet with, um, the pitching coach and the catcher and, you know, they come ready with their notes and that come with my notes and, you know, oh, wow, lo and behold, the notes match up. And, you know, this guy is a, you know, struggles on her balls or whatever. And it's like, that just gives me more, um, confidence to execute pitches out on the mound. I mean, I, I think at the end of the day, Mike Maddox tells us what's the hardest thing to do in baseball as a pitcher is to trust your stuff. And so like when I'm going through these scattering reports, yeah, I'm trying to pick apart the hitter and see what's going to work, but I'm also trying to be confident. Hey, I know that I can throw my 88, 90 mile in our fastball to this part of the zone and be successful. And that just gives me confidence to execute that pitch when I need to. It's Cody Bradford here with you on your home of the Rangers. Is it that kind of hard to work in that that that got you valedictorian in high school or was it something else? Um, yeah, hard work does go a long way in high school. Um, you know, we've got, I gave me great parents that helped me along the way and an older sister to kind of, um, cut the tone and she was a really good student, um, in high school. And of course, she helped me out too. And so I think, uh, you know, just can't move the tool up and, and, and support you in whatever you do. Um, give you the confidence to work hard, Cody. I was, I'm not as smart as you are, but does that require a speech? Did you have to give a speech? Yeah, I didn't, I didn't give a speech. I did. Did you stress over that? Did you have to stress over your speech? I did. I'm, I'm not a great public speaker. Uh, so yeah, I, I was pretty nervous. I definitely sweated through my shirt. They graduation now. I've seen some of these valedictorian races go down to the wire. Like, was it? Were you, were you thinking about this quite a bit there at the end? Or did you kind of win in a landslide? Uh, I'm, I don't really know. I know, uh, the guy who came in second, this thing was awesome to brand ski me and him work. I know we're, we're up at the top, you know, kind of all the way through high school and, and competing with one another, but I don't know how close it was at the end, but it was definitely, it was definitely a goal. I don't want to, we got our first, uh, transcript back, like freshman or sophomore year with class ranks on it. I was so shocked to see number one beside my name. Now the brand ski sounds like he might be a football player. Yeah. Why was the brand ski? What's he doing nowadays? Brainiac linebacker. Yeah. He, he was a, he was a, uh, he was an Aggie. So I don't know. I, I haven't done a good job of keeping up with some of those guys, but I hope he's doing well. I didn't become one of those yell leaders or something. Yeah. Or fall for grace for an Rinsky. Cody, is it, is it annoying at all being a local guy, uh, or is everybody asking you like, what's going on with the team? Are we going to start winning again? No, it's not annoying at all. I think it's, it's a true honor. I guess the pitch for the hometown team and it's like I, I didn't even dream dreams this big when I was a kid and, uh, super grateful for the opportunity that this org's given me and, uh, the, the trust that they give me and taking a starting role for right now. And, uh, you know, when people ask, you used to be, not, not too many people ask, hey, what's going on with the team? Why isn't so and so doing this or that? Why aren't we winning game? When are we going to work with the world series? And a lot of it's, um, it's just, uh, people love to support. And I've been really surprised that all the support that people have shown. Yeah. Just wear your ring and when they ask that question to you, just show them the ring and then move on, you know, the kind of a thing that's would be, like, you know, when they ask you questions, just hold up your hand with the ring on and just, and then they go, Oh, okay, I get it. And then you just can kind of move on that buys you that buys you all the space you need right there. Right. That's right. That's right. So what were you dreaming about? It looks like you went to Baylor and got a degree in supply chain management. What were you going to do, you think? I, to be honest, I don't know what I was going to do. I know what I wanted to do before I wanted to go to college as an engineer. And, uh, first day of summer school, um, when they had the baseball team come in, I was a mechanical engineer at Baylor and, uh, the joke is the second day of summer school. I was a business major. So, uh, which majors real quick went into the first class and realized, yeah, I don't know. Thought I knew a lot about calculus in high school, but I wasn't near on the level that some of those other guys were in that class. So, um, but I wanted to work at SpaceX, um, come out of high school. If the baseball didn't work out and, uh, hopefully, um, you know, I may, may not get that opportunity and may not need that opportunity, but, uh, God's provided for my wife than I, uh, in baseball right now. And then that's where we're meant to be. So coming out of high school, dominant numbers, how did you not get drafted with? Did you tell them I'm going to college no matter what? Uh, I know, I don't, I don't really think any scouts reached out to me. Maybe one, one guy made from like the eighties or something, but now I popped out at like 87 or 88 in high school. So good numbers, but just, just not the, the wild that, you know, not the draft ability and the projectability that guys wanted how to get in the weight room. Yeah, I definitely needed college to, to develop physically. I absolutely needed that inside baseball here. We have a texture that, uh, has, has shown some love to your elite extension. How, how much work goes into that for you, Cody, because it is pretty dang impressive. Yeah, that's just kind of, uh, to me, a benign stat that I learned that I somehow have really good extension. Uh, my first year pro ball didn't know a lot about analytics and the more I paid attention and watched and asked questions. Um, soon I realized, wow, the reason my 89 91 on our basketball works is because I have really good extension. So it plays up. It looks like I released the ball closer to home plate, 90 miles an hour plays like 92 or 93 or 94. I don't, I don't really know, but it appears it gets on the hitter quicker and, uh, nothing I really worked on. That's just kind of been my mechanics, um, I guess through my whole life, but, uh, it's probably also one of the reasons, um, I don't necessarily throw harder, um, is because there's, there's some mechanical things to go into that. And so actually it's my belief that if, if I was able to shorten that up a little bit, I'd probably build the throw a little bit harder, um, but to sacrifice effectiveness, uh, I don't know if it would be worth it at this point. Cody, is that have to do with flexibility to your ability of the way you push off and then get to your plant food? Is that, is that something that, that plays this guy? The yoga guy, right? Is that, uh, I, I like to think I'm pretty flexible, but, uh, compared to where are some other people? I'm definitely not. Um, you know, I, I don't, that's a good question. I don't know if it is a flexibility. I think it's just kind of how the arm naturally unwinds and the motion and how the body works come at home. Yeah. Well, Cody, they say to be a great pitcher in the major leagues, you got to get comfortable being uncomfortable. I got a good feeling I'm going to make you uncomfortable here for a second, but I'd like to play a game with you. I got three seconds of analysis. Uh, one of your teammates is being described here, one of your current Rangers teammates. Can you guess the teammate that is being described? Okay. I'm going to play you some sound and then you guess. Okay. All right. Here it is. You know, what he's got working there between the knee and the waist is pretty impressive. Can you play that again? Absolutely. You know, what he's got working there between the knee and the waist is pretty impressive. Oh my gosh. Okay. You want me to name a teammate? Guess a teammate. Guess a teammate. Yes, sir. Yeah. I'm going to say white Langford. Nice word. Cody Bradford first. Yes. You got it. You're one of like three dudes all season. That is just absolutely nailed it. Hit it out the park. Thanks for Bradford. You did it. Oh my gosh. How good do you feel right now? I feel like I just won the lottery. Thanks, Cody. Give him hell. We'll be pulling for you. All right. Thank you all so much. There he is. Rangers pitcher, Cody Bradford. He freaking nailed it. That's awesome. He knew who Sam's was talking about. And yeah, the Rangers player show brought you by Golden Chick and globe life. Everyone has beneficiaries. Not everyone has life insurance globe life. Who's your beneficiary? Yeah. And we're going to give him some pluckers wings for getting the answer, right? How about that? $100 gift certificate got eight pluckers in the DFW location. So thank you for Cody for making that happen for us today. Eight pluckers and one crusty. There you go. Crusty's corner is coming up next. Where we taking it. Yeah. Let me talk about some of these guys that Cowboys are looking at and maybe a couple of guys that they put on this waiver wire. We'll do that next. Yes, sir. Thank you, Lucius. Mike Sando's coming up at four o'clock from the athletic. He has your QB tiers and we'll talk with him about where he put back and why where he put the other guys other NFL stories with Sando coming up at four. Here's brought us with Crusty's corner. Thank you very much, General. Appreciate that. Yeah. We have we have cut down today and I'm looking through the names and I'm kind of thinking I'm going to kind of walk you through maybe some of the decisions they had to make with players. And I'm interested in a couple of different things that they've done here. The first off though, when I went through my 53 man roster, I had a ball over Bolesco and they saw it the other way with with ball being released. I kind of felt like that ball of the guard had been had been a pretty good option for them. They are they've got a good group inside. They might be worried more about the tackle situations and the tackle situation. And that's where I think awesome Richards would rather play guard than he would play tackle. But I think they're saying right now, they're like, well, no, we're okay. We're okay at guard. We need you to play tackle. And so I think awesome Richards will probably be because with adoga being out for several weeks, they're going to have to kind of piece that thing together. And I'm a little I'm a little surprised. But I also understand though, too, that if you watch, well, let's go play in that Raider game when they were going up against the Raiders first team defense that he was able to hold his own. But man, there was some times of some struggle with the one on one stuff and things like that. So I would have I would have probably gone ball myself over him, but they didn't see it that way. Ryan Flournaway over Jalen Cropper. And there's two guys on this roster that had limited time and came the furthest and the fastest to get back on this roster, where I thought as they're standing over there by us and not working out, I really believed I was thinking, Flournaway, this looks like a practice squad. This looks like kind of a wasted kind of a year with him, him and Duce Von. Both those guys, when you guys were camp were on the courts, you didn't see those guys practice at all. But but those two guys, the amount of ground that they were able to cover and get themselves back on this roster, I think says a lot about them. I I was impressed with Flournaway and I'll tell you what I was impressed by. I was impressed with how physical he is as a blocker. I could see them trying to work with him and see if they can get him to do more on special teams. And you know, a big body that if you're going to make him active, that he could they could help you that way. I don't think that Duce Von can help you much on special teams other than a returner, right the possibility there. So they're going to have to kind of work around that. But Jalen Cropper lost this job. Jalen Cropper was looking outstanding throughout practices. And then they started playing games. And then he disappeared in the games. Right. I know a couple of fumbles to some of the he really, he was the guy that you felt like that was going to make this team. If you were going to carry six receivers, he was making a push to be that sixth guy. Well, you know, now he's probably looking at a practice squad spotted. He doesn't get claimed. I mentioned Vaughn, you know, you look at Malik Davis, everybody was talking about there was a lot of ringing of the hands and stuff about Malik Davis. Why is Malik Davis? Why are you carrying a special teams guy? Why is he not, you know, why are you going to carry that? Emma him is the third guy. Well, ultimately, he is, he gets waived because of the special team stuff was probably not what they needed from him. Not good enough to where they needed him to be. And so, you know, when they look at that, I was, I'm hearing some whispers that he might not even come back on the practice squad. That's how I mean he did. What did he? I don't understand what he does. I know. I understand too, what you're saying, but that's that I was kind of he makes perfect sense that he wouldn't be on your practice squad or on your team at all. Yeah. The fact that that that spanned Ford, the tight end, made it. I, this one, this one might be more about and he made it over Fant. And if you didn't have Hunter Lipke on this team, Fant might be that guy, the Hunter Lipke type of a player. But spanned for, they put a lot of guaranteed money in him for a rookie. 250 K. Yeah. And I bet you they were worried about putting him on the street and maybe getting him back because they probably competed against a lot of teams to get him in the first place. Yeah. What are his strengths as a player? Is this supposed to be a blocker? He's supposed to be a blocker. And there are times where he is not that. I think there, I think they're betting on, we don't want to put him out there and him be gone. And then we missed and all of a sudden he develops, you know, they're, they're going to, I will say this, I believe he's the 53rd player on this roster, though, right now. I would say that him and, and wheat are probably, you know, probably the two guys, 52, 53 there. But I was expecting a big time blocker. And he wasn't always that. He's not the best pass catcher you have. This, this could be more about keeping him around because they're worried that they, if they put him out there and he's gone, he'll develop and they want to be the guy that develops. I'm surprised about Rogers, the defensive tackle being put out on the street. And this is more about Joseph, but, you know, Mazi Smith, Mazi Smith, if you look at the defensive lineman of the tackles of the four tackles you have, he's the fourth guy, but Rogers, this one will be interesting. And we always say, well, they put him out there and they all come back and maybe they will, but Rogers to me, if I was watching tape of this team, I would I would, hey, there's a big body guy with some range, with some pass rush ability. The first seventh round pick, I think you could do a lot worse for him, but he could be a rotational player for you. So I'm there, they're probably holding their breath on that one. I had Julius Wood on this team, the safety. And I don't know if you'll get him back. Somebody will look at him and say, here's a guy that's physically very tough. He tackles well. If they had people had some really good film from him or reports from his college days at East Carolina, they might circle back and say, wow, we like this guy. His pro tape is pretty, pretty good. I thought he would be the fifth safety just because he could play special teams for you make up for some of these spots where you don't have a lot of special teams players, especially on the in the running back room. Royce Freeman, I thought showed well for a veteran guy. I was surprised that he got let go, but that's, you know, people are saying, well, hell, he's a better version of Zeke. And it might be true there, but they're going to keep Zeke and so Royce Freeman gets knocked out. I mentioned wheat over Lawson. I keep an eye on Muhammad, who is also on this in this mix. They didn't have to do anything with him because he suspended for one game. But if you if you told me of the three guys that played the other day, power rank, wheat, Lawson, Muhammad, I would say Muhammad, wheat, Lawson would be how I would power rank that group. So they kept wheat for a reason. Maybe when Muhammad gets back after the one game, they might flip that around. We'll see if that goes. And the last guy I want to kind of talk about is buddy Johnson, the, Oh, Cliff zone. Yeah, buddy Johnson. I think the thing with buddy Johnson, he's just to me, when you watch him, there's a guy with size. There's a guy with range. There's a guy with toughness. There's a guy that tackles well. There's a guy that's very physical. That kid right there made the team because of all the things that I said. I, you don't namely, mainly give a rookie linebacker free agents much of an opportunity because, but here they are rebuilding the room. Buddy Johnson, he bullied his way onto this 53 man roster the way he played. And so it got very evident that once we got down to the final preseason game, that this kid had a shot to make this team because every time you watched him on tape, you know, that he was, he was doing a much better job. And then, and then, then some of the other linebackers that were, that had the opportunity, you know, I think it's, you know, it's unfortunate that, you know, the Nick vigils and guys like that, Harvey, really Harvey. Yeah. Those guys had opportunities, but buddy Johnson clearly outplayed all those guys. And he's very deserving of that spot on the 50th hell of a job, buddy. Thank you, sir, brother. Thank you.

It's hour number three of the G back nation here on your home of the Cowboys 105 through the fan. We're about to talk with a very special football guest. You could see him on our webcam at 105 through the fan.com Twitch and YouTube has a very professional backdrop there with an excellent looking bookshelf. He's ready for the big time. Mike Sando from the athletic has published his annual quarterback tier rankings. NFL personnel weighing in on 30 veteran signal callers and Mike Sando joins us now to talk more about it. Good afternoon, sir. How the heck are you? I'm doing well. Thank you. So we obviously here in Dallas are never too far from a good debate of where you put Dak Prescott inside the top 10 or top 12. Where do you where do you have Dak Prescott and what would it take for him to be in the absolute top tier? So the beauty of it, I don't have them anywhere because I pulled 50 coaches and executives in the league and this is where they see them based on the criteria that's spelled out in the article. You could you can check that out on the athletic and you'll see how each tier is defined. But generally tier one is the quarterback who can win with less around him, right? Mahomes would be the greatest example of winning at all twice in 19 and 22 without even having a good defense. So that's the elite standard. And then Dak comes in solidly in tier two. I feel like any quarterback in the top two tiers, you feel like you could probably get to the Super Bowl with without having some miracle team, right? The 2000 Ravens defense or something. And then when you get into tier three, you're going to see some players that they probably get paid, you know, to Trevor Lawrence has gotten paid, some Tyler Murray. You hope they could do it, but you may need more around them or they just haven't proven that they can do it over time. Like somebody like Dak has, Dak has now pretty much the poster guy for what a tier two quarterback is. And the definition of the tier two quarterback is he carries his team sometimes. He handles the peer pass in doses, meaning peer passes when the defense knows you have to pass, right? We're out of our play action game and run game. It's really on you. So Dak's pretty good in the two minute, but not consistently as great as some of the tier one guys have been. Or some of these guys could possess him that are dimension that's special enough to elevate him above tier three. Sometimes you'd see the guy who's just a great runner, not a great passer, but that's enough to carry him into that second tier group. So Dak's been solidly there for years. And he gets a couple tier one votes here and there. But I think to get over that, it's what everybody's hoping happens there. It's why Jerry didn't re-up my bad coach right now is, hey, let's see it a little bit more when it matters in the playoffs. And maybe some of those times when he could put it on his back then and get him over the hump would elevate him further. But he's super solid right there. Number nine overall. Mike, did you find that these evaluators and general management and coaches and stuff that you talked to? Did you find that he was the guy that the quarterback that they had the most problem with identifying where he needed to be? Or was it just really, as you say, so clear cut with, are there other quarterbacks that Aaron Rodgers made that people struggle with more? No, he's super easy. So he got 37 of his votes were in tier two. Four were in tier one. The remaining nine are in tier three. And that's just people who have a little bit of a harder grading scale. When you do this, I'll run through the 50 people in the panel. Some people will have very few ones, like there's a few ballots where they just had to gave them a homes, the only one. So then they might have a different standard in their mind to where when they get through maybe their twos are Lamar and Herbert and Rodgers, and then they have a smaller group of twos. So deck could get a few threes that way. But for the most part, I think the league agrees on what he is. He's a very good starting quarterback that you can win a lot of games with who hasn't, despite having, you know, quite a pretty good team around him, hasn't gotten over the, the top, the way he might, if he was a notch or two better than he is. So who was that quarterback that was, that was getting the most, you know, wide spectrum of different tiers? Was it perhaps Aaron Rodgers or somebody else? It is right. Roger Scott votes in four different tiers, which seems kind of ridiculous. But okay, if you give him a vote in tier one, you're saying, you know what, this guy's been tier one forever. I'll believe that a climb when I see it. If you're tier two on Rodgers, you say, you know what, he's been tier one forever. But look, new team coming off of an injury, his age is up there. I'm going to knock him down and we'll wait and see, make him prove it. Tier three would be, hey, look, I think this guy lost a step in Green Bay. I think he wasn't as good at the end. Now you throw in the age and all the other stuff he's got going on. I think he's going to be, you know, closer to a middle of the pack quarterback at this stage and declining fast. And there were only two tier four votes. Four is a little bit of a weird tier. It's either, you know, kind of a journeyman type guy, think of a Ryan Fitzpatrick or a Gardner Minshew, they're fine, but you wouldn't want to go the whole year or there's not enough information. Usually that's for a young guy who's got five starts or something. But some people thought they didn't have enough information a couple on Rogers because he just hasn't played for so long. And we don't know really how good and strong and healthy he's going to look. So definitely, I think he, he's one of the few guys to get in four categories. Jordan Love might have two, but Jordan Love got almost all twos and threes, whereas Rogers had a pretty good distribution. It's Mike Sandow here of the athletic. How about C.J. Stroud? You know, how, how, how, how strong is he coming on? Rocketing. So I've been doing this since 2014. And like I said, I exclude rookies because the guys haven't seen them play. It's just picology vows. But Stroud coming in eighth overall solidly in tier two, one spot above Dak Prescott is the best debut for a second year quarterback since I've been doing this. That's higher than Herbert, I believe, and some of the editors who came in really strong. So, you know, people very impressed by him. He got 12 tier one votes. That's a very, that's a lot for one season of starting the next guy underneath him was Dak with four. So some of that I wonder, you know, the expectations for Houston were so low. People thought their team was terrible going into the year. In retrospect, though, maybe their offensive line was pretty good. Maybe they actually had some good weapons. Maybe Daniel Ryan's knew what he was doing. Maybe Bobby Slope was okay, right? But in our minds going in, you're just like, wow, this season was not what anybody expected and that quarterback looked great. So he, this could be a case of him potentially. This is just my opinion, getting a little bit more of the credit than people typically do. Mike, I'm going to change you on you a little bit. I think I saw you in Oxnard. You were there for a day in Oxnard for. Yeah, I was there. Yeah. You had a quarter around you of everybody wanting to kiss the ring and stuff. So I couldn't get over and kiss your ring while you were there. But, but I just wondered observations, whispers, nuggets. I'm sure you're going to write about some stuff and talk about some stuff and you're in all the podcast work and stuff. By the way, you and Randy Mueller were tremendous together. I love, I love doing that. I loved your guy's podcast and I love Randy. I think he's a hell of a guy and I think you're right along there with him. Any nuggets or things that you can whisper to our, our Cowboys, nation people here that listen to us that you might have heard that we need to know about? Oh, interesting. Do I have any hot rumors on the Cowboys? Anything you, anything you, anything, you know, I saw you get led away to places that we're not allowed to go to. So I just thought maybe you'd know. Well, it's funny. It's funny. Let me tell you what I do. When I go to these camps, I am not somebody who comes there and asks people really deeply about their team. I'm working on league projects like this and other things around the league. And what I find is that's the types of conversations guys love to have. When you get in there and you get like, you know, I can get guys to confide in me, but then I'm not going to go on a podcast and say exactly, you know, all the things that I think are going to happen. I do think it's an interesting place just because of, you know, Jerry being Jerry and they've been such a good team for three years, but not getting over the hump, not doing a deal with your coach, the quarterback, I would presume he wants to be there and you'd think he'll get a deal done. But it's just a very interesting year there where, I mean, just wait, just wait till there's a couple of losses or something. You know, to me, it just feels like it's going to be a team where almost Jerry wants it. Like he's welcoming this storm that's going to come. So you think he wants the cat contracts? You think he wants the chaos? Well, certainly he he doesn't try to surprise me. Yeah, I mean, he stirs it up. Yeah, he says little comments the other day. Sure. Absolutely. He's always stirring it up. Me and he's always talking after the games, you know, that sort of a thing. I'll say this. I'm impressed with Prescott because a lot of these quarterbacks, when they get in this situation, they're doing the hold-ins and all that type of thing, which I get it. I'm not saying that's a bad strategy because it worked for these guys. But there's something I admire too about the guy who's going into the last year and he's there every day for his teammates and he shows up and he practices his heart, says all the right stuff, you know, and that was notable to me, the type of thing you see happening at a camp that no one talks about. Like he's just there. He's assumed he's going to be there. But that's not the way it is in Miami when to it doesn't come in or in Green Bay where Jordan Love doesn't come in. So he's just handling this well, I think. I think Dak is handling this well. Maybe these both sides are just sort of at peace with the situation and not that stressed out about it. It's hard to believe that they wouldn't do a deal before the year. But what if they just agreed to let's just see where it goes? Yeah, that would be interesting too and be okay. Mike, what has been the biggest objection from this tier's list? Is there a fan base or a group of people that are frustrated by a particular ranking? So, yes, initially people, a lot of media people kind of on Twitter and people, you know, fans too, thought that it was giving burrow the benefit of the doubt to leave him in tier one when he's been banged up. And there's questions about how well he's going to be able to play because of the durability. So I didn't really see that coming. I think he's excellent. There's always good conversation around Lamar Jackson because he's a two-time MVP who has been really high in tier two. But because a certain segment of the voters, about half of them this year, think that when he has to pass the ball, it doesn't look good enough. And that is always a good conversation. There's a lot of conflicted voters who think he should be a tier one, but he's missing this component of tier one. So what do we do? I think that's interesting. And then notable to me is the top of tier three. If you look at the top of tier three is Toa, Trevor Lawrence, Kyler Murray, Deshawn Watson. And tier three is really legitimate starter, but not as much of a featured guy. You're going to probably want to run the ball, play defense, win with this guy, but real questions about whether you can get over the top. Those top four guys have Toa Lawrence, Murray, and Watson. Look at their salaries. That's a lot of money to be paying for guys that the league doesn't think are really in the upper echelon of quarterbacks. Amazing. It is, man. It's really interesting, the economy of that position. And then before we go, obviously, Cowboys, Eagles, top two picks in the division. What are your guys telling you about Jalen Hertz? It's funny, you know, his, he didn't lose that much ground in tier two, but I felt like the conversation around him was, was more negative. It was one of the more negative conversations for someone who, you know, he was 10 in one last year. He's been doing Super Bowl and everybody admires the way he approaches the game. I mean, everybody thinks he's got his, he's wired, right? But there's real questions about, you know, people know that he has some limitations. And they think that Shane Steichen was a huge part of making that work well for them. And so when he was there last year, it was chaotic a little bit. Now you bring in Kellen Moore. People think Kellen Moore's good, but they're not sure that he's a great fit for this quarterback, because they think he's inclined to want to pass the ball a lot. And here they signed Saequan Barkley and they have a quarterback who's not going to have Jason Kelsey. And they have a head coach who's a little bit on the hot seat in a place where it gets real noisy real quick. There's questions around the head coach. You got you bring in Vic Fangio on the defense. There's just a lot going on there. And so what's that offense going to look like, and is it going to be set up well for Hertz? Or how do we see kind of the best of him, maybe, with that great team around him and Steichen being the right coordinator, right? I think there's a little bit of a fear that this thing peaked a little bit. Sounds good to me. I think we'll drink to that down here. Mike Sando in the athletic. Thank you so much for your time, sir. And we'll catch up with you soon. Great. Thank you so much. Cheers. Yes. There it goes. A great piece there. You can read in the athletic, his annual QB tier rankings. Everybody looks forward to him, chief. Heck yeah. That's fantastic. Dude. That's what you want to see when you get the when you get the opinions from around the sport. That's the truth serum. Yeah. I think he gave you something you need to pay attention to. So about Jerry and then he likes it. Yeah. Well, not that he likes it, but that your quarterback's comfortable. He's the front office is comfortable. Yeah. He told you something that he got when he was at camp. Okay. I trust me. When I watch these dudes, I watch how they move. Yeah. You know, I saw the great. Well, I saw the direction he was going and things that he was getting to do and stuff like that. So he was he's he's not more optimism that dacks back then after hearing something like that or less less. Just what he said. Oh, okay. He said dacks comfortable doing what front office might be comfortable. I think he's comfortable with splitting up. I think he's walking you down a path that that might be. So it reinforces our current beliefs already. I think I think I'm just just an observation just for what he said. I don't think he wanted to tell you much, but I think he told you something. Hey, you got the scout's eye. Not me. Top 10 at 420 coming up next chief where we taking a week one of college football ladies and gentlemen, it's here. We also have the Michigan scandal documentary.

When you think of college football scandals, where do you go? I know Jared is going to be talking about his USC Trojans. He's in studio with us now and with the Reggie Bush stuff, the Heisman, you know, that was a, that was a big scandal for sure. But there's been some, some pretty interesting ones over the years. We have the Connor stallions Michigan scandal documentary just dropped today on Netflix. Oh, that's week one of college football. So it was kind of perfect timing to, to go ahead and bust this out. I got some college football news for you as well. But I did want, if you don't mind, if you're looking at the fan cam right now, this is, this is the place you want to be, uh, twitching YouTube because we have a high school football star that we need to address. This guy is, uh, it's Ishmael Ayala. He's five foot seven. He's 315 pounds, five foot seven, 315 pounds. But this dude is a unit of nothing but athleticism. Chisel 315, 375 pounds on the bench. This dude over 500 pounds on the squat and he's putting together, he's going viral. His game one highlight clip was just him living in the backfield and his build is incredible. He, uh, he had two sacks and a TFL with five tackles in week one. Look at that build. Number 79, he is five, seven, 315 pounds. I feel like the Cowboys could use him in place of Mazi right now. Like this is the type of, like the future is bright for this kid at five, seven, three, 15. I don't think we've ever seen a build like this. No. And, uh, I imagine he's a terrific fat athlete. You know, some of these guys can just have the gut pouring out from underneath their jersey, right? But they got a motor and they got a wheelhouse of power explosiveness. And it's impressive when you see it. Yeah. So I can, I don't think that's D one talent right there. But I think a D two or D three school is going to be happy to snatch him up. Hobart college will grab him. Yeah. With the bounce house and the, uh, out in the, he's like a Pennsylvania kid. Oh, is he whatever he plays for is Mifflin because on the front of the jersey, it's Mifflin. Mifflin number 79, uh, the most interesting body shape in high school football history. In the office. Wasn't that the name of the company that they, they were under Mifflin. I've done their Mifflin. Yeah. So, I mean, he's in the, he's in the, he's from the city of the office. Sure. And I get involved. I'm not getting balls back. I actually saw this from Ross Tucker, because he's like, this is near my hometown or something. And this guy's Pennsylvania guy. He loves this kid. He's, he's the one who kind of made him go viral over the weekend, because he's a high school athlete built like that, making plays. And it's in the hometown of Ross Tucker. So he sent this kid to the stratosphere, wanted to show him some love. Now elsewhere, college football wise, we have, I thought this was pretty nice here from the, the university of Miami head coach, Mario Christobal, who is synonymous with losing games for his team, because he doesn't know how to manage the clock at the end of games. At least once, if not twice, upwards of three times a year, he will take a four and five star late in roster and single handle lead, lose football games for them on their behalf. But what he's done now this year is he has identified the problem all these years later. He's late to the party, but he's done it. He hired a clock management coach for yourself. Yes, Charlie Weiss. This is where Charlie Weiss is still probably collecting checks for the other name. He is. He just got let go of serious satellite radio. Oh, did he really? Yeah, they had enough of a watch dog in his career, haven't you? I have, because he's, he was getting paid by three different entities. I believe it, dude. I believe this Notre Dame and the serious satellite people. These coaches want to act like they got control of everything. It's just impossible to manage all of that and pick the right play and know the math in the back of your head and be able to motivate, you know, your quarterback, whoever needs a pep talk. There's just too much crap going on. A lot of crap going on, man. This should be step one. Did he do it after they have to he lost that game against Georgia tech? Well, I think that was the, that all he had to do was kneel the ball. All he had to do is kneel it and he lost. He runs it. His guy fumbles it. It's a turnover. Georgia tech scores in Miami loses the football game. It's, it's as bad as it gets as a Georgia tech coaches were taking their headsets off when all this was going on. Fans were leaving the building. Yeah. This. Yeah. It was bad. I do think that was, that's the worst of it as it pertains to him losing games for his team. And there was another one that was pretty bad last year that that happened to him as well. But yeah, I think on the heels of that, and listen, it's taken till now to do it. He had all off season. He had it. I mean, it wasn't like he snapped his fingers and made this happen. But hey, at least he's got the self-awareness finally to realize this is not my forte. And there's a bunch of coaches in the NFL that should be doing this. We got to get back coaches, right? We got to get back coaches. Why not have a, hey, here's what you should do right now based on the clock that it's hard to, hard to prepare for. Cause every unique, the variables of everything are so unique and being able to make that decision is tough. And guys perpetually botch it. Why not have a clock coach? We have stretching coaches. We have nutrition coaches. There is just so much port going on. We got coach quality control coaches. God, you got, you got assistance to the assistance is what you got now in the NFL. God forbid a coach can figure out how to use the clock, right? I'd have a full staff. I'd have at least three guys on this five analytics guys and gals. Let's like that. Yeah. Well, we also have news here. I'm sure Carter's pretty excited about this Oklahoma football's newest tradition blasting Toby Keith through the stadium. RIP the late great Toby Keith. How do you like me now? Sing along style between the third and fourth quarters. So I don't know if they've chosen the exact song yet that they're going to choose maybe Carter. If you, if you know, but like Florida has the Tom Petty song, won't back down. You have the Wisconsin jump around. You have the Virginia Tech Sandman, the LSU call them Baton Rouge. That's not the vulgar one. No, that's no, that's neck. Neck. That's right. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. I guess they have a couple. Yeah. We get fine. We get fine for playing neck and talking out the side of your neck. But they flipped it. Yeah. They flipped it. Yeah. That's unfortunate. But I don't know if this Carter, do we know what Toby Keith's song it's going to be? Or is it just going to be he's shaking his head? No, but there he doesn't know. It's going to lose your daddy. College football. Who's your daddy? Yeah. After we beat you, we play. Who's your daddy? I like that. Who's your baby? Yeah, because who's your man? Boom. That's the one. Yeah. How do you like me now? I think we'd be better maybe, huh? That one's that one's solid. No. Yeah. This sounds like baby dolls right here. Yeah. I'm telling you. Baby dolls Dallas. Gentlemen, all shut. Yeah. $1.50. Grab your favorite waitress. I'm like two stages. We've got Porsche, Porsche to the stage. All these dudes went to the same school for this voice. All top was barred. Guys went to the same school for the voice. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Glen over there. Yeah. He taught the class. Yeah. They'll go out and they talk to each other. He taught the class. Somebody tip that B word. Yeah. Well, speaking of baby dolls and whatnot, we do have the, the 10 strangest scandals in college football history. And let's just be honest, we know the pole says, an appearance. We shaving points somewhere college football. I'm sure. I mean, yeah, pull out all the stops because there's much more than just what I have in front of me. Did Arizona State do something one time? Arizona State brought it. I mean, we're talking college football. We could do like into eternity list forever of just for the rest of time, we could rattle off college football. I mean, number one is probably your dad and them. No, I'll tell you what, my dad and them are proud of what they did. Dawson, don't you feel with the Aggies? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. My dad going toe to toe with SMU. I asked, I asked Eric Dickerson. He was close to going to A&M. Yeah. He was close. Not enough money from the eggs. Sure took that car. Yeah. My dad, dad goes, wait, wait, what are we going to turn ourselves in? You idiots. You schmoes. I didn't even look at his buddies and all going like, let's tell on them. Yeah. You're right, Larry. You're still Dickerson from us. Exactly. That's our trans am. That's what dad goes. That goes. That's incredible, dude. We bought him the car. What do you want to turn us? That's just wonderful. Yeah. That was a day, man. Yeah. That was the day. Well, we, we do have the Michigan scandal and the Connor stallion stuff. That's, that's on this list right now that we'll get to here, but see this. Yeah. I'm looking forward to seeing it as well. The early reviews are that dude was lying throughout the entire documentary on stuff that we've already got confirmed through the NCAA and things like that and just like photo evidence of stuff that he's done, but he was, they gave him a ring at Michigan national. I don't think he, I don't know if he got a ring, but I do know that at one point he got a game ball for all the cheating he did. To beat Iowa, I guess in 2002, he gets a game ball for it. So that's a big one. You have Hugh freeze at number 10 using the, the work phone to solicit the old prostitutes. Yeah. When you're in Tampa and you're working for Ole Miss, that'll get you. Oh, like I see we're going for this. That'll get you bleep canned. Yeah. The Washington state coach, they went, they got the Alabama job. What was our guy up there? Washington state up in the, in the to lose. Oh, my price. Is he number nine? Yes. Yeah. Good pull. I see where this is going. Yeah. Are you right about his resume or something? No, that's a, that's, that's going to be Georgia. Larry Notre Dame. That's right. That's going to be on this list too. Mike Price at number nine, he's, he's dropping hundreds of dollars at Pensacola. Pensacola. Strip club. Yeah. He's like, yeah, heads back, uh, spends a bunch of money at the hotel with some ladies and then Alabama finds out he's fired before coaching a single game and of course had to punt on his, uh, his seven year, $10 million deal. Yeah. That was back in like, oh three, he was awesome at Washington state too. The to lose. He was the real deal. Palouse. Palouse. I said wrong to lose. Palouse. Well, at number eight, we get the, the Polis Aston story, which we're very familiar with here 2021 special teams coordinator for Texas. Lucy, she's a looker, right? That's the home. Maybe respectful. Yeah. They just got married. Yeah. But really honest, really good athlete, right? Strong as hell, man. Yeah. Like a real athlete. Like a real, like gymnast type athlete. Amazing upper body strength, core strength is crazy. And unfortunately, uh, the Polis Sasson, AKA Danielle Thomas, uh, in a lawsuit filed by a family of a child who was allegedly bitten by a monkey at a haunted house that banks had set up in his backyard for Halloween. Danielle makes this one the, uh, the eighth most, uh, ridiculous scandal in college football history. That one was pretty crazy, but those two are still together and married now. So I mean, that's true love is anything you'll ever see. At seven, you have, of course, the Ohio state tattoo scandal at the dumbest, dumbest, most ridiculous ones prior in those guys. Yeah. This was trail prior and rose bolt gear for tattoos and yes, like a federal offense that needed to be prosecuted to the full extent. Was that the gold pants they were giving up, like the jewelry and stuff too? Yeah. Like you got gold pants for beaten Michigan or something like that. And they might have been a part of this one as well. I think they're part of that. But they had five players suspended, including Tyrell prior. They brought the hammer down. The NCAA did. Yeah. Uh, and then they, they found other things, uh, where players were getting cars and stuff like that. Jim trestle tried to cover it up. It was kind of a bad deal. So that comes in at number seven at number six. You have the James Winston crab legs. Now he's since come out and been like, Hey, just to be honest with you, like, I didn't steal those. My boy worked at Publix. I'm James Winston. He wanted to hook me up, but at the time, with the way the NCAA worked, right, if that would have been, it would actually, it's actually better to be James Winston stealing the crab legs than James Winston being gifted them for free based on the NCAA and their ridiculous rules. So it was like 32 bucks worth of crab legs, whatever, whatever. Uh, but that one was definitely, that was a big one crab legs are expensive nowadays. They have Connor stallions at five with my favorite. James Winston situation is the lunch room when he jumped on top of the table. Oh my gosh. Load of faith. No, he's funny. Yeah, he's great. He is, man. He is incredible. He was, he was wild. He did. He stood up on that table, just yelled out. One of the most obscene things you could yell out there in a moment like that. That go viral. Oh my gosh. That was crazy. Um, let's see. People are texting in the two, one, four mentions, Nanaje Davenport while at the University of Miami, dropping a deuce and a girl's hamper, and her dorm room closet. Yeah, that's a pretty strange one right there. I wonder what type of suspensions or whatever he got. The Mike Lee's wife with sock or something like that. Maybe one of her favorite t-shirts. I was going to say a favorite t-shirt, but get the job done there as well. Uh, Mike leech stuff at Texas Tech. That one was great. That people are texting that one in. Yeah, with the, uh, with our guy, Craig James, the son, right? Yes. Out of concussion. I just want to closet for eight hours. Go in the shed. Yeah. Dark place. Go in the shed in the heat of Lubbock's August temperatures. That is a pretty funny one, but bad at the same time. Oh my. You have the wake forest, uh, the, the wiki, the wiki links, wiki links, wiki links, uh, where the, the coach is an assistant coach and he ends up getting demoted and then he ends up just being a broadcaster for the team and then he starts giving away strategies to opposing teams. Oh, that's right. Despite the coach that didn't want them on his staff. That's right. That's right. So that was, that was definitely a big one. Uh, the way he leaks is what it was, uh, and then you have here, oh, the tumor's corner. Oh, the guy, the guy, the guy, the guy, the Alabama killed, tried to kill the tree. Yeah. The Auburn. Yeah, the Alabama guy, uh, the fine bomb. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. Ratted himself out big, big Alabama fan after Auburn beat him in the iron bowl, went and, and tried to kill the trees, tried to kill the trees. Yeah. They saved him. Uh, do they save the trees? Yeah. It led to all the trees had to be cut down. No. Yes. Yes. All the trees had to be cut down. I thought it was a disease. I thought they, I thought they were okay with it. $800,000 worth of restoration, but he only paid seven grand before he ended up dying. Yeah, because he was an old man, rabid college football guy, real tight, Bobby patrino, motorcycle accident. I mean, still one of the funniest press conferences ever where he's wearing a neck brace. He's got scrapes all over his face. I believe he had his head slammed against the curb a couple of times, but number one, of course, his man tight tail. Oh, man, there it is. I was waiting for TCU to show up, but they like moving wait for a minute back in sweet way. That was a bad one. We could do this all day with college football scandals and how's the Johnny Manziel like signing everything not in there? Yeah, that should have probably made the top 10. There's a lot, man. There's a lot busy day for the Cowboys today. Will they bring in another runner? Who was the surprise veteran cut? We'll do that and get an addition to the finest. And before too long, we'll be into the expressway here. It's the G back nation of the fan. Thank you, Lucius. It is the G back nation here on the fan. Football's finest is coming up here at five o'clock, but it was a big day in the NFL as cut downs were due at three o'clock. And the Cowboys made a number of moves. Malik Davis is out of here. Is that a decision they'll end up regretting Brian? I don't think so. There might be a thought that they that might not even bring it back on the practice squad. Wow. That's just some whispering going on. I mean, hey, I could be, you know, just talking to some people that they think, you know, we might be just moving on from that one. Yeah, it's a tough situation. I don't think there's a great answer at running back, but I just feel like you got some old guys. You got a really short guy. And at least he's like, he fits the profile and he's he's young. I wouldn't be in a hurry to get rid of any of those guys. If Rico Dattle, if you knew he would stay healthy, that'd be great. That would be a great that would, I think your running game would be okay with him running the ball, but they're going to try with with, with Zeke and kind of see how that goes. And maybe we'll get to the point where they just, you know, when they did it, they did the same thing with Tony Pollard. Yeah. Remember all of a sudden Zeke started kind of slowing down a little bit and what they do is start playing Tony Pollard more. I mean, one guy's injury prone, one guy's old, one guy's too small. I would not be surprised at all if they need to make a move for another running back before the NFL trade deadline. They did officially sign Linville, Joseph, right? They did. Okay. They did. So I thought there would be a little roster gymnastics, maybe that they wait till tomorrow and they kept CD lamb on the commissioner's exempt list, which buys them some time. So they buy him signing this late or agreeing to a contract this late, he gets a roster exemption for I, it used to be for four or five days, but I mean, it might be longer now. So maybe next week, we'll see that signing come official. The Cowboys have traded one of the nosebleed boys favorites, Peyton Henderson, who really, you know, brought the hoochie daddy shorts early. He was one of the early adopters there, but he has gone to the Kansas City Chiefs. Nick Harris reported the conditions of the trade. The Cowboys receive a seventh pick in 2026. If Henderson is shot is on the 53 man roster for five games this season or Henderson's on the 46 man game day roster for three games this season. And I'm not sure what the Chiefs depth chart looks like, but I feel like with their lack of wide receivers with Kelsey getting old, they're going to like his ability to, you know, get open, have a little bit of flair, score some touchdowns. I would not be surprised at all if Peyton's career makes a turn for, you know, better times there in Kansas City. If it, if it wasn't just for some, for some drops last year, I don't think he would have fallen out of favor with the Cowboys. He was very promising his rookie year. Yeah, it's funny. Something happened, you know, along the way that, that he went from being kind of the guy that everybody was, you know, happy he was here. And then he got banged up a little bit. Maybe his attitude was not as good as it needed to be. And yeah, there were some things that they were kind of going through with that, you know, working through with him and he came back. He, there were times in camp. He wasn't, he didn't look bad. And he felt like he was making a push. But the fact that they have, they took span forward over him. Yeah, probably told you the writing was on the wall there. What do you think about this trade idea? Bill Barnwell ESPN says the Cowboys are a logical landing spot for jets receiver Alan Lazard. If he is traded here around this cut down day, currently owed $10 million for the 2024 season. Do you think they're looking for a third wide receiver right now? I don't believe so. No, they, they're happy with what they have with Tolbert and Brooks. And, and I mentioned that turbine for Illinois, Illinois, it was an incredible push that Flournoy made to get himself on this roster. Because he was, he was looking square down the, Hey, well, we're, we're probably going to have to cut you and maybe bring you back in the practice squad. And you know, he rallied, he got healthy. And then he, he, he took off. He had some really good practices, good work against the Rams and then the preseason games he was able to show up. How much did they show as far as getting turpin involved in the passing game? Not much. You know, I mean, you could see the stuff when, that you could see when, when they practiced how it was, they get down the red zone. And for a shorter guy, him and cooks, they have a, there's my guy Elliot Wolf. I used to babysit that guy, the GM for the show and the Patriots right now. But yeah, he, the, with, with turpin, you know, it's going to be, they were, they were, they were looking at getting deuce on involved. You know, the, the wide receiver stuff, the slot stuff. Dude, if they can't tap into turpin, I mean, I thought they did a decent job last year. And hopefully that role expands to, like, I understand if he's not down in, down out wide receiver three, but that dude who showed he can catch the ball, he can be a guy that can, he's explosive, break a game sort of open a little bit. So gosh, dang it, they better get him involved. Well, that's the, they've got two of them now. They've got two guys that they need to kind of try and incorporate into the, into the scheme and both of them are smaller guys. This time next year, we're going to be talking about Jalen Tolbert as the number two wide receiver on this team with Brandon Cooks as a free agent. I think so. There's, there's a lot of things with turpin that made, I didn't, I was not sure what his mental toughness. I thought, Tolbert Tolbert. Yeah. I thought him and Brooks were going to go at it and they were neck and neck until like the, about the third, fourth practice. And then all of a sudden, Tolbert just showed the ability to make more plays. He practiced well every day. You could see him winning on routes. I was worried about him just maybe getting tired, getting sore, not concentrating. No, he, he battled through everything they asked him to do. He deserves his spot that he's gotten and hopefully he'll be a contributor to what they're doing.

And there's some really interesting talking points in there. Speaking of interesting football, talking points, it's time for an edition of the finest. And here's Eric. All right. Well, Frank Gore, Jr. He was the highest graded rookie back. According to pro football focus for the preseason last we saw back, right? Rookie back. But the highest graded back was a bandicanda, Israel, a bandicana, and he made the jets right now. Okay. Yeah. It looks like he's going to be at least their kick returner. And then maybe he's their backup to Breeze Hall. Yeah, he plays on all the special. He, well, he was a punt return punt team. He was on kickoff kickoff return. So yeah, he, he plays all the spots. I watched him this morning thinking he might get way, but no use now. Did you watch Frank Gore? No, I could do it right now. Let's watch Frank Gore, Jr. Because he tore it up. I mean, over the weekend in the preseason finale at 18 carries for over 100 yards in a touchdown. That's fresh legs. We know about the DNA. And if the bills are going to throw him out there, which they have, didn't make the initial roster there for Buffalo, I'm sure they're trying to get him back on the practice squad, but sure, getting some young fresh legs in here might not be the worst thing in the world. I know it's like, Hey, we got Zeke. We're kicking the tires on, on Dalvin Cook, but I think youthful energy, fresh legs, more tread is what you want on the tires of your running back. So, and let's not forget his dad on draft. They said, quote, folks slept on my son. They slept on me too. They'll see my bloodline is for real. Well, I might make an exception for Frank Gore. I don't know. I like how often is it that a team keeping three backs? Let's a guy go. That's got some juice. You know, it's a fair question. Totally fair question. Brian, I'm looking at you for the answer. I'm trying to watch Frank Gore over here. What are you doing? Okay. That's my bad. I'm just kidding. Oh, Brian, what was your question? I was, I was looking at the show, Brian. Thank you, man. So how, what do we need? No, I was just asking, it's Frank or even that good. If he's not, if he didn't make the bills roster, like if he couldn't make their roster team, guys make mistakes all the time. Teams make mistakes all the time. I mean, I mean, I'm going to sit and act like I know who all Buffalo has at the running back room. But yeah, teams make mistakes on these guys. And so yeah, you maybe you get a little cute. Cowboys did it with Matt Moore, didn't get Matt Moore back. He went out and had like a 12, 13 year career throwing the ball around. Yeah, you make mistake John Ridgeway. You know, that was a mistake. Cowboys shouldn't have waved John Ridgeway. Well, they do. They didn't get him back. You know, so yeah, teams make mistakes. I think what you do is you do, you do diligence and you look at the, you look at the pro tape. He's a rookie. You probably have an idea of what you thought about him in the college, you know, the college grading scale last year. And you're saying, okay, well, maybe the tape in the NFL is better than what the college team would school at Southern Miss, right? Yeah. He's had a lot of games where he had a ton of carries, but big, big yards for, for a back. And Southern Miss wasn't a great team. But yeah, I think that there's to sit there and say that, Oh, wow, something's probably wrong with the kid. I think maybe it's more about Buffalo. And maybe they have, maybe they have other backs that they would rather have, you know, on the roster. All right. Well, you're going to check them out and let us know. Frank Gordon, Douglas Dawson asked another damn question. I mean, my gosh, I'm over here trying to do eight things. I appreciate it, man. I think you're doing a podcast at the same time too. I am. I was trying to do a podcast. Well, I'm sorry. I really, I literally was like, you know, sometimes somebody will ask you a question. You don't hear anything they say. Yeah, it's not even anything that they asked you about. I've been there, dude. It's all right. You're putting that work in. I appreciate that your, your film work right there. Go crunch that film. You come back to us. Let us know about Frank Gordon. You just keep talking. Maybe I will. Can you succeed with a four, five, eight, 40 in the NFL today? I don't think him at Smith was the fastest guy in the world. I mean, I'm just saying it. Yeah. It, it, it was one of the reasons. Remember a guy named Curtis Enos, who was drafted by the Bears in the first round. Yeah. I remember telling Jeff Lori, as the owner of the Eagles, he's like, Brian, we don't have Curtis Enos up there very high. And I'm like, Mr. Lori, he's a 240 pound back. And all he does is going to get slower. You know, the bigger they are, the slower they're just going to keep getting slower and slower and slower. And he's like, you know, I don't know. I'm like, well, I go, please just trust me on this one. Nice job. And he, and he did. And so yeah. And then he went to the Bears in the first round, and he looked at me like, okay, dumbass. Yeah, you know, but man, there are a lot of running backs busted in that era. Oh, yeah. That Kajana Carter's, but he had, but he got his knee banged up and stuff like that. But there, there were a lot of backs to write in that era that just didn't work out very well. Okay, I have 10 things that Ted Winne of the athletic learned from the NFL preseason. He's one of the better football brains out there. He's got some interesting talking points. Ted Winne? No, what about me? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, no, Curtis as well. Okay, but I'm boxing you out right now. So you can watch Frank Gore. Okay, I appreciate it. I just, that part I did here, you know, that you thought Ted was a better guy than me. No, no, I don't do this better. I'm going to do my job. I think he's much better. All right. Warren Sharp. Warren Sharp had a quote from Warren Sharp's better than me, too. From a defensive coach. And I want to start here because Ted Winne has some different thoughts on the status of the Eagles and Kellen Moore right now. But I did want to bring a defensive coach in the NFL is quoted as saying this about hurts in the Eagles offense right now. The word is out there. If you run zero blitz against hurts or shows zero and back everyone out, he will panic. That has to change. They lose Jason Kelsey at center. He handled all the protections, basically did everything for them. And you bring in a coordinator in Kellen Moore who likes to drop back. So it will be interesting to say the least. Now tell me some I don't know. Yeah, no, this is, I just want to set the table with that. Okay, you're not even supposed to be listening. We talked about that before. Just wanted to set the table. By the way, I just, I pulled up. There's 69 plays that we can evaluate on this guy. I just thought I'll let you know that sign. Thank you. Yeah. They're playing the bear down bears here in 13 to six here in the, in the, in the first quarter. Thank you. Thank you clarification. Huge, huge contribution there to the show. I'm doing my best here. I'm trying. I'm really tired of carrying you to clowns, to be honest with us. So Ted, when is now looking at this Eagles offense in the preseason and his number one preseason takeaway and all of the NFL right now is that the Eagles offense is no longer stale. Now we have to somewhat allow for the idea that Kellen Moore, who is still young and sort of in the infancy of his, of his football coaching career, maybe he can develop and evolve and add and get better. Okay, because the Kellen Moore that we know here is not a Kellen Moore that's really helping you as it pertains to beating defenses, especially good defenses consistently. So, but Ted win is saying, Hey, Eagles offense no longer stale based on what he's seen in the preseason. He says they need someone to inject new life into the playbook. And he says, Kellen Moore may have actually just completely rewritten it. He says the Eagles were dead last and motion, emotion usage last season. He says he doesn't have preseason motion stats, but it appears they used motion on most of their snaps and we're using it creatively. More used motion to create angles on run blocks and to get into certain past concepts from unusual looks. So he's a little bit more bullish here now after seeing a few weeks of Eagle preseason football that maybe Kellen Moore is actually going to be a bit of an asset to Jalen Hertz and Nick Siriani in a way that most of us probably weren't anticipating. I think that's one of the biggest questions about this Eagles team coming in. But if they nailed it with Kellen Moore, if Kellen Moore has sort of risen to the occasion and evolved his offensive philosophies here and added some more modern things to it, maybe just maybe the Eagles offense can actually be better and not continue to suck like it did majority of last season. And that would be a huge ball. That would be a double whammy for Kellen Moore to finally get it figured out with the Eagles and have it, you know, put Jalen Hertz career back on an upward trajectory. I'm not a big believer in Hertz. I think it is possible to optimize the offense if he's willing to run a lot. But you know, the injuries that he's been through in his career, I think he's on the other side of that curve. Any motion they run will be a first from Brian Johnson running motion. Yeah, they were dead last that's a first year coordinator that was over his head. You know, yeah, you know, yeah, you could kill him or is it legitimate offensive coordinator, but anything's better than what Brian Johnson was doing last year for that. Absolutely. You know, I think though, he worked with the with Brandon Staley with the Chargers, obviously from the McVay tree. And there's a lot of moments in time where Kellen Moore, who is a student of the game, could have that light bulb moment that, Hey, this is what I really need to be doing here from this point forward, especially if you look at who's having the best results with offensive coaching. It is off that, that coaching tree. So if this does happen, I would be interested in bringing Kellen Moore back. You know, if you fire your head coach and Kellen Moore is showing that he learned the McVay philosophy as far as motion during and after the snap is what's getting us an advantage than, you know, I would, I would hope the Cowboys would be open minded to that. He also has in his 10 things he learned from this preseason in the athletic Ted when he says the Chiefs look like they actually got better, which is totally fair because they were actually not even very good last year. They were in spite of so many issues they had offensively bottom third in a lot of categories offensively last year. There's no way that happens again. Andy Reed, Pat Mahomes, and a new found type of deep threat in a guy like Xavier Worthy. They they sub out left tackle Donovan Smith for a second round Kingsley, Suam Mata, and he is actually been pretty good to this point. All of that. Like, yeah, I do think with the amount of struggles that the Chiefs had last year, I don't expect that at all with their offense this time around. And they've they've added just enough pieces and everything like that to where they're probably going to be. I mean, wall check has him going undefeated, I think, in his football hold predictions this year. I mean, Worthy Brown, Sky Moore, Juju Smith, you can kind of see weapons in there now. They had the second best defense in the NFL last year. I think that's overlooked. And you know, what does the loss of Nigeria seen? And I think some of their line backer depth due to them. Now you have at number four, Cowboys continue to draft well, Ted, when acknowledging what we can all acknowledge now last year's draft class, not ideal this year's draft class early returns look like a home run. And he says with Tyler Guyton, only allowed one pressure on 56 snaps in the preseason looked like a star against the Raiders starters in week two still has some technical issues to clean up. His hands are not great. Right. We know Broadus has pointed that out. But athletically, he's a freak show, finishes with purpose when run blocking. And he says, it's hard to fake looking good at the line of scrimmage. Guyton appears to be a future star. That that's something I think is the most surprising. His hands are bad. His run blocking is good. Those are things you probably didn't expect to bet with this guy. But his, I mean, he's, his run blocking is impressive. And he didn't do a whole lot of that. I believe at Oklahoma, but we're going to have us a running game in 2025, for sure. Soon as you get a runner in here, those guys with some experience, this is going to be awesome. Yeah, the trio from center to left tackle of Cooper Bebe and Tyler Smith, and then Tyler Guyton, those three guys got some power on the road graders. Yeah, I mean, my goodness, dude, that is pretty incredible. We'll see what happens with Zach Martin and Terence Steele, but from center to left tackle, you feel like for the next half decade, you're just going to be rocking it. You might be a good left handed team. You know, yeah, that's right. Most teams are right handed when they, you know, the way they play because of their quarterback, but with Dax ability to throw left and right might be a, it might be a decent left handed team. Well, another preseason observation here is that the Steelers offense is nowhere near as improved as they would have hoped they have Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Are they better than Kenny Pickett? I guess only by slight margins, but otherwise their offense has still looked really, really bad. I mean, we did it last week. All of the just punt, punt, punt, punt, punt, turn over on downs, field goal. Like that's how their possessions have gone with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields in this preseason. So that's going to be a disaster. Yeah. And fortunately, the Cowboys get to play in this year. And this is the end, I think the final five weeks of Russell Wilson being considered a starting level quarterback. He just falling completely off the cliff from MVP candidate to objectively bad in the position. Yeah. I think this is the last season of Russell Wilson's career. I don't think he's going to want to be a backup quarterback. And he's obviously made plenty of money. No team will give him even a chance to be a starting quarterback after the season. So I think this is it for him. His other observation here is that man Spencer Rattler playing pretty well at quarterback there for the saints and he's thinking that the calls for Rattler will be loud when Derek Carr just is Derek Carr and throws interceptions and stuff like that and loses football games. Saints fans are going to be calling for Spencer Rattler who is a guy that is super talented. He was drafted in the fifth round, had plenty of maturity issues throughout his college tenure seems to have kind of gotten a grip on those a little bit, but he says efficient throwing motion, beautiful deep ball and can manipulate the pocket as good as anybody at a youthful age like him. So Spencer Rattler and he was a guy that I know coming out this past year. Some people were like, Hey, that's the kind of late round quarterback that might have some upside here. If you want to take a flyer on a guy and maybe Spencer Rattler wound up starting some games there in New Orleans this year. Yeah, he's he's had moments where he's looked really, really good in college. I think you watch him play against Tennessee. You would say he's probably a first round player. And in other days, he throws interceptions at an alarming bad rate. You know, like you watch him against Georgia and some of the teams with better defenses gave him a little bit of problems. Super talented guy though. Yeah, I just I kind of gave up on him, you know, just out of I think a lot of opportunities in college and never making much of it. Yeah. The other observation here NFL preseason Malik neighbors, giants, LSU wide receiver, top pick rookie, absolutely looks like an instant impact dominator. And unfortunately, he's got Daniel Jones throwing him the football. But you know, everybody was heavy on Marvin Harrison Jr. The closer you got to draft day, you had his like, well, Malik neighbors actually is probably the best wide receiver in this class. And he's done nothing to disprove that to this point, making some sure fire, tough grabs from a crappy quarterback. That's going to be an interesting one to monitor throughout the year when he's going to be frustrated. Yeah, he's going to be super frustrated. Oh, yeah. But the, you know, and the Giants are starting to put together a collection of really good players that if they do get a quarterback in the next couple, two, three years, I could see your resurgence. Everybody's super high on the Texans right now have them being Super Bowl contenders. According to Ted Nguyen, we know that Diana Rucini said that was the most impressive training camp practice she witnessed was a Texans one. They have the quarterback in the coach, unless there's some ridiculous, sophomore slump there. All they've done is just add to the roster from a talent standpoint, capitalizing on their young cheap quarterback and CJ Stroud. The only concern I have about the Texans this year is that they have one of the most difficult schedules in the sport. And so that's going to be tough. And then obviously, just being a franchise that's not used to any expectations. And now you have a ton of them. But I do still think that they are good enough from coach to quarterback to roster. And they're in a bad enough division to where that is still going to be a legitimate team here. Anthony Richardson is a takeaway quarterback for the Colts. He's got to improve his footwork. He was called out by Bengals players, defensive players in their joint practice. Like, dude, does all this guy do his run? You won't throw the football. So still some growing pains there with him. And then the other one is with the Raiders and their use of 12 personnel will be historical. They drafted Michael Mayer. Yeah. And the second round last year out of Notre Dame, they just draft Brock Bowers. Unfortunately, that's another team that doesn't have a quarterback. But a lot of people are connecting that to that situation for next year. Some great weapons to have. Yeah. And if you can line up in 12 and be a punishing run team and then throw out of that, that's one of the biggest hacks you can do still in the NFL. It's been an amazing trend for quite some time. It's time to hit the expressway QB confidential 103 players rank the league anonymously. We'll give you everything else that's been developing in the world. The sport LA live with Lucius is coming up at 540 as well. And we're back with it all in the nation. Welcome back G back nation. Hope you're having a good one. We're going to be at shell shack in Dallas just right over here on Thursday after the Rangers game and Friday we're going to be at the ballpark. So please do come say hi. We're about 16 minutes now from LA live with Lucius Alexander. I have a quarterback confidential coming to you here in just a second. 103 players rank the league anonymously. I love that. But Brian's been watching some Frank Gore Jr. released by the Buffalo Bills today. He was a camp cut down. Brian, what do you think about this guy? Good adjustments in the flat. So far I've watched my system could break it down. We're in watch all his carries. So I've seen so far the Bears game and then now I'm into the Pittsburgh game. Good adjustments in the flat. I think he catches the ball easily. Looks like comfortable doing that. He's got really good quickness. He's kind of a short choppy step guy. He'll bounce off tacklers. I like the way he attacks the whole way. He's got that low center gravity that kind of keeps his balance right. Low man wins. Yeah, he runs with some good toughness. I think he's got some finishing ability to him. He can make the first guy miss. Sometimes these Buffalo backup offensive lineman will miss a guy and then he's able to kind of jump to a side little cut and then get through the hole. I like the vision to make the cuts. I like the patience to allow the blocks to develop with him. They'll run this counter scheme where they'll pull the backside tackle and guard. He kind of just sits right behind those guys and then he explodes into the hole there. I like the way he attacks the hole, but yeah, we still got some plays to watch, but that's what we've seen so far. He looks like a guy that you might need to think about, you know, if putting a claim in for I would have the guys you've got on this current, current group. Well, you know, and we have to wonder, you know, would just being the best football player put you on this football team at this particular position. Everybody likes their guys. That's the problem. Nobody has the guts to claim anybody anymore. Yeah, that's the problem. Cause you know how they feel about Zeke? Yeah. You know, they, you know, they, you know, and they might, you know, when Dattle is the best one in the round, it was the best one in the room. And then you know how they feel about Deuce with the family ties in the, you know, Deuce earned his way onto this team though. Oh, for sure. No question about that. But like, do you watch this Frank Gore guy and just putting everything aside? You'd rather have him over Deuce which he looks like he's got Frank Gore's got some, got some stuff to his game. He really does. And that's tough. You know, when a guy that basically ran a four six, who's, who's, you know, a rookie was undrafted is, you know, better than at least two, maybe all of the guys in your room. That's yeah. I, you know what, to me, there's a, there's really, with Frank Gore, there, there looks like there's just some quickness to him. I mean, they're, they're handing him the ball and they're not blocking this thing clean. And he's able to kind of slide and then, boom, get up the field a little bit. I, I, I tell you what, I don't know what Buffalo, I'd like to know who else Buffalo has on their running back room. Oh, look. Yeah, if you could, because maybe I need to watch those guys too. But okay, this guy, you know, they probably, Dallas probably didn't have something very good about him coming out. And they, and I'm sure I'll hear about it here in a little bit. But he looks like a guy that someone should put a claim in for. Well, maybe he's got some, some juice to his name being, you know, the son of one of the greatest running backs to, to ever do it. He's got some of dad's toughness. You could tell that, by the way, he's running this football. They got, of course, James Cook, they got Ray Davis. They've got Ray Davis. Okay. Ty Johnson. And then they've got, uh, Darrington Evans. That looks to be their room. Full, full room. There's not, not a lot of household names, but some good athletes in there. I love what ESPN's doing here. This is NFL nation, from ESPN, 103 players answer six burning questions about quarterbacks. These are anonymous NFL players. And I love the way they kind of walk into this with the premise. The chiefs can make history this season with the NFL's first three Pete, an achievement that would thrust quarterback Patrick Mahomes into the conversation of the greatest of all time. Up into this moment, you could say, well, you know, I think Patrick Mahomes is better than Tom Brady with the eyeball test, or I think he's going to accomplish more than Tom Brady. But up until now, you haven't had any objective stats or history that could make you like genuinely consider it. I'm already considering, you know, if you had an all time player draft, would Mahomes go ahead of Tom? Because, you know, I think he kind of won it with rebuilding offenses and back-to-back years, just incredible what Mahomes has already accomplished. But to do something statistically historically that Tom Brady hasn't obviously would change the conversation. Both played with a tremendous Hall of Fame coaches, both played in a salary cap era. So you have to give them high marks for that. Any quarterback that thrives in the salary cap era, because like your team is constantly turning over. Yeah. So, you know, the guy's like, nothing against Starbuck or Brad Shaw or Joe Montana had the same teams for like 10 years. Those teams never turned over. Mahomes chasing his fourth title already. It's tough. He is Brady won seven, but did not win his fourth until his 15th season. Mahomes is entering his eighth. I think Brady going to a different team and winning it with Tampa and Bruce Arians is just unbelievable. Yeah. And one AFC South player says it's Brady. But if Mahomes three Pete's, that's a different story. The survey granted anonymity so the players could respond candidly ask them to rank quarterbacks in a lot of different categories. But we'll start with who is the goat? And if it's not Mahomes, what does he have to do to get there? An NFC South player said no disrespect to Tom, but I'm taking Pat. Pat can do everything Tom can do. And he's mobile. I don't know. I don't know if if Pat can do everything that Tom could do. But I what like like what would you say? I wonder if when it comes to maybe reading defenses, Tom was gifted in that department. That's what I'm saying. I wonder if if you said what's the difference between the two defensive manipulation, the way the way the thinking man's game. Hey, listen, by your year 20 Brady compared to now Mahomes, there's no question I will grant you that. No, I'm just saying I'm not trying to, I'm not trying to make, I'm not trying to make a lie to this. I'm just saying that I think Mahomes is very well respected for his football IQ and the way he sees and all of that stuff. Brady Brady has Brady takes that to another level. Because Brady's not as talented as Mahomes. He's not right. But where he where he beats you is the way he thinks way through these games. That's what he does. So Mahomes, Mahomes plays on feel a lot of times, I think. Yeah, but I think he's also. I don't think Brady could play on feel. I think Mahomes can. Well, I think that Mahomes has shown like he can play whatever if you want to play wide open and Brady showed this as well. 2007, you want to give me Randy Moss, I'll throw the ball all over the place and we'll score a bunch of points and I'll be incredibly efficient and it'll be big plays. It'll be amazing. You want to give me tight ends to work with. Want to give me very average receivers to work with and we dink and we dunk and it's efficient and I'm just boom, boom, boom, getting the ball out real quick. I can do that as well. Mahomes just showed he can do the same thing. If you're going to put me in an offense where it's like, hey, we just got to score 20 points. We got a good defense. We're going to play small ball. Fine. If you want to air it out and do MVP caliber stuff, I can do that and it won't just be empty numbers. It'll be, I can still show up and be clutch and big games and indoor outdoor. I think it's, I think he's that guy, but at the same time, you'll have people that'll say like in the 817, how can Mahomes be better and Brady have Brady beat him head to head twice and Brady will always have that on Mahomes. Yeah. Yeah. In, you know, in Arrowhead, that was the, that was Mahomes's first year playing quarterback in the NFL. It was the second year in the league, but it was his first year playing AFC Championship game and that was a down to the wire crazy situation, but Brady bested him. And then the Bucks dominated the Chiefs in that Super Bowl. Yeah. Yeah. And there's a couple of things that you also have to look at. Tom Brady was so good in short yardage sneak situations. Yeah. Like he didn't get enough credit for his power and his prowess at the quarterback sneak. How bad was our offensive line in that Super Bowl? Was that though? Oh, it was very bad. Is that the one I remember that I'm next year, they went out and got three dudes and drafted Creed Humphrey and all that? I would argue it would. It has to be a top two or three worst offensive line to ever play in the Super Bowl. There were a, a lot of players with respect for Tom Brady's career in this vote and played a lot of long, a lot of games. Yeah. That longevity is just tough. 92 people ended up voting on this particular question. Who's the goat? Mahomes are Brady. And how many do you think picked Tom? I would say 75%. I'm going to say a lot less than that. I'm going to say less than 50. It was actually significantly more 85 than 92 votes. So somewhere around 90%. I thought the modern player wouldn't give Tom Brady credit. Well, Tom Brady is still modern. I mean, he's just, he just hung him up. Like all these young guys who are in the league right now, they all saw at least the last half of Brady's career, which was a Hall of Fame 10 years in and of itself. The game, the game that Mahomes had, that playoff run last year, I don't know if you'll ever see one like that again. It's just about the respect for how long Brady was able to do it in all those accomplishments. But I think it is, it's definitely a conversation now. I mean, the way that Mahomes won the Super Bowl two years ago, you know, with his legs and making those big plays, he should be sacked. I just think you cannot fade that. And, you know, I don't think you can, you know, favor Brady. If you think that things are equal inside the pocket, you know, giving Mahomes the ability to do that is, you know, something else. I don't know if Mahomes is going to have the super longevity career that Brady has that I don't know how you score that. Yeah. But, you know, if you get similar amounts of Super Bowls in significantly less years, you know, like Super Bowl per season, I think will probably end up being a very important metric in this discussion. Andy won't last that long. Yeah, there's Andy, Andy won't last that long. And that's, that's going to be the detriment to five years with Andy. I think so. Yeah, I think so. Rank the top three current quarterbacks, 103 NFL players voted on this one. Patrick Mahomes got the most number two, a surprise for me. Lamar. Yes, Lamar Jackson. You know how the players love and fear speed, right? They do. It's hard to prepare for that guy. And you're going to find that out in week three. Lamar's the guy with the most ability to embarrass you. Number three was Barrow. Other top vote getters, Josh Allen ended up with 39 points and Aaron Rodgers got the fifth best composite score here. As Mike Sando told us last hour, he was the most difficult quarterback to grade to grade. Some people still think he's like a tier one guy. And then some people think he's as down as tier four. Okay, which of the rookie quarterbacks will have the most successful career? And then after we get through these three we'll have most overrated and underrated and some interesting deck take. They're going to say Caleb Williams, I believe. Yeah, I came down to Williams, Daniels and McCarthy with McCarthy's out. Williams with 34 vote points, Daniels coming in second with 30th. I just can't see, you know, how I would really favor either of those two considering the organization they're in. I can't, I can't go Caleb Williams. I think any success in my lifetime that Chicago has experienced has been very short lived. Even in the 80s, they had that one magical year in 85 other than that, like Jim McMahon was just a pretty good quarterback. And then you go through like the Rex Grossman, you know, deal and the Kyle Orton deal. You know, but I'm really having to stretch my memory to find that the periods of time where Chicago had any measurable success and then followed through on it. I think everything they say that you don't like about the way that the Jones is run it actually applies to the Chicago Bears when it comes to the dysfunction. What if I, what if I told you that in fantasy land, Bill Belichick takes over next season there in Chicago? I would, I would rather have been Johnson if it was in Chicago. I got a, I can't keep busting on these quarterbacks. I can't, I can't keep, you mentioned all these, I, I draft Mitch, Mitch Trabisky, but you know, I can't, I can't, so you want to go get an offensive guy. I get that totally. And I think that's even better for sure. What was their guy? He's now in Kansas City. They got him from Kansas City. The guy that was before Matt Eberfluze, the ball headache. Why am I kidding? Oh, oh, I know exactly. Yeah. I see his face and I can't remember his name. Texan, Texan, who the guy is, son of a gun. I can't remember his name. He's a coordinator now with the, yeah, he had a fancy resume and anything and they were thinking he was going to be the guy. First year he got into the playoffs. And then after that he was garbage. They're going to go get an office. Matt Nagy. Matt Nagy. Matt Nagy. I, I'm sorry, I couldn't remember that. But I don't trust Belichick to find the offensive guy who's going to make Kayla. No, that's why I'm going to get Ben Johnson. He's in my division. I'm going to get a guy that knows my division and how to beat the division. That's what I'm going to go do. Yeah. I just think when it comes to team building and personnel, like that front office and the way that the family metals in the affairs is going to make things difficult. So I would, I would prefer to have Belichick who I in theory would kind of take things over and be, you know, the face of the personnel and the main visionary. Okay, we go to here. This is a ESPN's quarterback confidential, most overrated quarterbacks in the NFL. Who did they vote for? And I do have to pass along. Might be that guy with the chargers. Dak Prescott got zero votes. Oh, nobody thinks he's overrated in the NFL, which is good. That's a feather in his cap. They're in his cap, amongst the 100. Oh, do they have an underrated category? They do have a lot of underrated. I bet she gets some votes in that. Uh, and he did. Oh, did he? Okay. He was, uh, he was not top five, but he was amongst the guys also getting votes. So there is a, a good level of respect there for Dak Prescott. Uh, but the overrated guy, I'm curious. Who is the overrated guy? Is it Justin Herbert? It's Herman Allen. I bet you they think Allen is a man. Okay. Josh Herbert comes in fourth, or Justin Herbert comes in fourth. Josh Allen comes in number one. But the voting was very close. Jalen hurts number two. Oh, wow. That's a great one. Wow. To a tied with him. Two is a great one too. Then Justin Herbert, then Trevor Lawrence at five to Sean Watson at six. Kyle Murray at seven and Brock Purdy coming in eight there. But I mean, the eighth most voting points is Brock Purdy with six of them. And Josh Allen had just 11 most underrated quarterback. Biggest trash talking quarterbacks out there. The top vote getters for the biggest trash talkers from the quarterback position in the NFL. I'm going to throw one out there that I think is maybe underrated because it just the way that he carries himself is Baker Mayfield on that list. Baker Mayfield number two on the list. So is he number two? Can't beat up anybody other than punters and kickers in the NFL, but he's out there talking the most trash. Wow. Maybe Josh Allen is Josh Allen. Josh Allen number one on the list. And that was kind of a run away. Yeah. With 26 voting points. Aaron Rogers comes in third. There you go. Number four is Patrick Mahomes actually nice with his Kermit the Frog voice. He's barking out some trash Joe Burrow at number five significantly less. He seems like a massive trash talker does. He does. Yeah. I mean, there were epic stories about him in college. Square and off with like Patrick Queen who was a linebacker for LSU and they'd go toe to toe and they were John back and forth in these practices. I know they've done some some deep dives on that LSU team. And I think they would confirm Joe Burrow being a guy who can give you a little trash talk and CJ Stroud getting some votes as well, which is surprising. He seems so nice in all of his interviews. Seems very generic and robotic and important point into the Lord and all that. But competition can bring out a different deal, dude. Yeah, he does. Chris Carter used to do that like man of God and then he'd come over in the sidelines and MF everybody on the sidelines. You get between those lines, boy, you become a little whatever it takes to get an edge. You're a different animal. Time now to go into the pimp cup. Okay, let's just out like Sandra. People in Matthew has LA life. Yeah, pimp cup baby. It's more like it's hot up in his. It's hot up in here, bro. I'm telling you about for you. I think so, man. I'm gonna bring a fan up in here tomorrow. All right, it's a toxic Tuesday. Let's get into it right into the Great Rig James. Well, all right, you swear. It's time to slow the fire up this talk and let's have a talk. It'll make you dance with some of everything. Yeah. Everybody gets hot. The guy was having difficulty getting a steep and he went to Chicago. The guy just told him to say, well, if you have difficulty, it's all mental. Say, when you go home, you lay down and relax completely and say to yourself, over and over, toes go to sleep. Feet go to sleep. Legs go to sleep. And so all the way up your whole body said, and you'll sleep. This guy went home, he laid down. He started, he used the doctor's formula. He said toes go to sleep. Feet go to sleep. Legs go to sleep. And just as he reaches, his leg, his wife walked in and one of those flimsy leg logins, and you can see clear through it. He started patting himself all over. I said, wake up everybody, wake up. Yeah, that's the Great Red Fox right there. Oh, that's Red Fox, Red Fox right there. Is that like a young Red Fox? Yeah, yeah. It's when he was like a cocktail comedian, you know what I mean? Yeah. And that rhythm, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, like Rodney Dangerfield. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't know which one to use. I grabbed like two of them, but I used that one. I had this one on deck two. There's three dogs running in the woods. It's raining hard. The first dog was throwing mud in the second dog's face. The second dog was throwing mud in the third dog's face. The second dog looking back at the third dog says, a bitch ain't it. Third dog says it better be good stuff right there. We're still good stuff, man. All right, Pete, to the Great Red Fox. This is L.A. Live for Tuesday, August 27, 2024. It is a toxic Tuesday here in L.A. Live, which is sponsored by kissable dental and their Nobel guarantee book online at kissabledental.com. The kissable journey starts today. General. Yes, sir. Did you see this news? What happened? You're a flying guy right now. Oh my goodness. A tire on a Boeing 757, exploded during maintenance at Atlanta Airport. During maintenance. During maintenance at Atlanta Airport. Two Dutch employees lost their lives. What? Yes. The plane just exploded. That tire exploded. Yeah, they were doing maintenance and boom. So you get like death by shrapnel? Tires shards. Like it was a big it was one of their big planes. One of their really big planes. See now this is going to be running through my mind. Oh my God. Yeah. How do the tires never explode when you're landing? Yeah. You know, how are the engines so good? I see car engines breaking down all the time. I see tires going flat all the time. Are you going to tell me just the maintenance and the check up like the pre flight check? Get some good? They're going around with their clipboard? Yep. These tires are fine. What about accidents? I just I don't know. It doesn't compute in my mind. I feel you don't tell him a run for Boeing too, by the way, hell of a run for Boeing. Yeah, I kind of I always wondered about that walk around that pilot check thing. You know, they're kind of out there. It's maybe a little cold. You want to be mean? Are you really looking at that? Yeah, you're looking at that stabilizer there on the back of the tail. I expect this. Where's my flashlight? Like, Oh God, we're we're in Buffalo and it's you can only hope. He's out there just freezing away. He's like, Oh, that looks good to me. I know. I don't worry about that. I Sir Captain. We'll take. Yeah, we're the de-icers going. We'll take care of it, sir. Also connected to Boeing is those astronauts out of stuck in space. You got to see in that? Yeah. Okay. It is. I feel like there should be a bigger news story, but you know, they just mentioned it and go on to the next thing. But that is the time we live in too. Because you're not going to go get them. That's what I'm that's what it's looking like. Space X might go up there. And they're giving themselves like a full year buffer like sometime in 2025. Yeah. They will spend at least eight months aboard the International Space Station. They went up there on a Boeing Starliner. Yeah. Space spacecraft. Oh my gosh. Boeing. The initial trip was supposed to be only eight days. Oh no. Three hour tour. Where they started getting. Now they got to go up there to the International Space Station with all the other astronauts like, Oh man, move over. What are y'all leaving? How would you like to be that that gal's husband back on Earth too? So what you gonna do for the next eight months, honey? You guys really? How's old butch doing? Yeah. You guys really sleep standing up? Oh my god. I hate to hear it, honey. Hey, it's on. We sure are missing you down here. I'll tell you what, man. Honey's on the phone. We love you, baby. If they had plenty of tang, I think I'd stay up there too. Well, I mean, yeah, I mean, there's only about one essentials. Yeah. You gotta have tang. If you're gonna make me stay up there for extra months, I gotta have some tang. My man's saying you're essentials. Gotta have you essentials. That's a fact. Yeah. Two types of tang. That is a fact. I don't need water when I got. That's what it's all about, baby. Oh, man. G back in the day we do it every weekday on the fanhead, 230 if you see anything floating out there, don't be afraid to hit me up at Lucky Lucious P on social media, Lucious Alexander on Facebook, follow us all the G back nation on Twitter. Yeah. No, you did that. I walked in. You did that. Our winner right here is a high school football PA announcer got caught in a hot mic situation. Turn around. Yeah. Pass intended for number 11, Tyler George and complete penalty markers down. Turn around you dumbass, redesign. I don't know why I'm calling a 16 year old a dumbass. They're laughing every box. Kind of redundant. Maybe it's more ass hat. That was it. Oh, wow. Incredible, man. You think you're talking to a linebacker or a cornerback? I felt like a corner. Yeah. Yeah, exactly, bro. Corner has got no business playing the position, but the best we got, man. Turn around. I know you shouldn't be playing 20s on. Yeah. Yeah, but your eyes on them. I like to keep your eyes on them. Yeah. I kind of like the statistician guy laughing along with him. No. Yeah. LA live 105 through the fan on a toxic Tuesday. Let's get a little toxic. Olympic sprinter Noah Lyles. The internet calls him kind of weird. They don't like his takes on things. He stirs up a little controversy sometimes. They're not a fan of them. Every time he posts something, they troll him. Well, we might have a reason for why he comes off a little weird to us. Olympic sprinter Noah Lyles says he was raised in a cult. He was on the first episode of a new podcast called Everybody Wants to Beat Us. Lyles opened up about his uphill battle with the church. Not religion. Not religion. He said he's very religious. There he goes. He has his faith and he believes in it, but he says the church grew up in a cult. Check this out. You know what's crazy? This is actually the first time that I've been in a podcast. We talked about religion, but I'm gonna give my quick religious story. I actually grew up in a cult. No way. Wait a minute. It wasn't, it wasn't, it just wasn't at the level of, yeah, okay, we're gonna drink the clue late. But it was very, it was super strict. All the moms had to be, you know, homeschooling their kids and the father was the head of the household and, you know, the church told you who you could date, who you couldn't date. You know, if you got married, had to be through us, that type of behavior. It's, we, and we left and that's why we moved to North Carolina because we were going to start another church only to figure out they wanted to do the same thing. He said they wanted to be the head instead of not the tale. Yeah. So we left that and, but that kind of really messed up my view in church and it definitely messed up my mom's view. That's kind of sad. Yeah, it's a bummer. It's just bummer. Yeah. He seems to have a good attitude about it. He's kind of good. I mean, he laughed. I mean, he's a story. I actually grew up in a cult. Not the kind of drinks that who laid. Yeah. I think about those all the time, though, the, the Colts, like the Jim Jones one. Yeah. Jim Jones, Jim Jones was swaggy too. He had the glasses and every day that he looked apart. I had a good voice. Jim Morrison would have been a hell of a tough show. Yeah, man. But like even the Branch Davidians down here in Waco, like dudes letting guys like the the main guy, like sleep with their wives and everything. Yeah. Like there's so many obvious signs of, hey, you know, this is getting kind of weird here. What makes people go along with that? Yeah, that that's that's the weird thing right there. I wish we know I'd have gotten out to gather the family and got to the Kalachi store. Had some Kalachi's got out of there. Yeah, we're getting out of here. We're getting out of here. Before we do that, I'll take two with cheese. Yeah. You got any tang in there? Yeah, you don't laugh at tang. So if I'd have been fortified, hey, I've had literally I've overdone it on tang to the point where it was like my stomach. I hurt my stomach. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good feeling. Like yourself serving that stuff. It's a good feeling. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. I thought you had some burns or something like that. It was sensitive. He got a skipper night. That led his heel. Name a modern day cult on the fan tags. Name a modern day cult. I'm glad that my man got through that situation and he was opening up the talking about it a little bit. He still kept his faith. He knows. Yeah. Well, hey, good for him, bro. Good for him. Speaking of Colts and whatnot, you guys remember a televangelist Kenneth Copeland? Dude. I remember him. Okay. You do. Yeah. Yeah. Remember inside edition? Is he got a plane still? He that inside edition. Oh, yes. Was following this man. That face you'll never forget. That face you'll never forget. That's black hair. And they were talking about his airplanes, his private jets. And he said, you know, God basically said I need to get these private jets. Well, televangelist Kenneth Copeland is under fire again. This time it was at Kenneth Copeland's ministry's annual Southwest Believers Convention in Fort Worth. Kenneth Copeland thanked Jesus for a dying man seed offering. The dying man gave a Bentley away and Copeland's getting a little hot water for this. My little feather. My little call me. He said, how many brightlings do you have? Ooh, watches. And I said, I don't know, 36, I think I haven't counted them lately. And I have in my closet, I have winders and there's a lot of them in there. And he said, I'm going to give you number 37. I said, great, man. Now he's believing God for his kingdom. He said, I'm giving you my Bentley. And it has a Breitling Clark Bentley with a- Thank you, Jesus. Yeah, the dying man had given the Bentley in hopes that it would bring him some healing. Copeland took that and bragged about it on this situation. Nice little tradesie. Yeah. Nice little tradesie. Pretty good day. Anybody else terminal in here? Oh, man. My man said, he had 36 brightlings already. God, don't, dude. Those are some nice ass watches. Those are some nice ass watches. These got a whole lot of them. They just gave them some more. That's wild. I seen a viral video of Kenneth Copeland. They said he was possessed by a demon. Yeah. I think somebody doctored this audio. They definitely put some music behind it, but I think somebody doctored this audio too. We learn about this. This covenant of blood. What blood, the blood of this covenant? I can't cut the covenant with his father, God. Glory. Yes, my Moses of old. It's calm. Oh, oh, oh, they're calm. Don't ever do it. Don't ever feel sorry for your shit. Don't ever do it. Yeah. Someone kind of demonic. Yeah. That's just anything possessed by a demon or something like that. Stuff on a toxic Tuesday, bro. Just some wild stuff. Hey, Mr. Dawson. Yeah.

God, sexiest guy in the station right there. Number two is Eric, broadest number three, Gavin. I'll take it. Yeah. Yeah. Appreciate it, man. Thanks for the everybody's fighting for fifth after that, I think. But like, that's like me saying to you, like no one would ever look at me and be like, you're better looking than Ryan Reynolds, right? So like, I get it. So, I mean, I think ranking behind Lucius, Eric and broadest, I mean, there's nothing wrong with there, right? That's like, no, no, it's fine. It is what it is. Yeah. And, you know, by the way, great hair. Yeah. You know what? I appreciate it. I don't know if it's true. This is my mid 30s crisis, and I don't really care. And you know what? I don't have any TV more the rest of the year anymore. So I really don't know. So that's about to get real nasty. I'm about to go. I might even just try to be like Andrew Chafin for Halloween. So I got to start. I love that. That means you got to get that bald eagle tattoo in that one spot. Well, I can get like a fake one. No, it's guy. Come on. Commitment. Will you will you do the tattoo from? Of course I go. You know, I have the experience. Yeah, I know you do. What's up with the sport coat you had on the other day? The lining in the sport coat? Oh, yeah. So, well, my guy etiquette Don Don Sanders, he outfits pretty cool. He outfits some folks and he supports the charity. So, you know, I like supporting people who support the charity. Right. What are we listening to? Just fire. I don't know. You got to sound like you were in a bath house complimenting each other. I was complimenting you, sir. I just had to add an Eric and brought us to that. I didn't get upset. Yeah, because you know, Eric gets really hit on me, man. Loose, you know, you're my number one. Yeah. Yeah. And so, I'm not tall. And I have weird kids coat? No, dude. He has to use so little fabrics to suit you that he's fine with. Yeah, it's for yeah. No, these aren't I pay, but I also have weird legs, because I have like thick legs, but I'm not tall. So, I don't have long legs and it's always a pain in the butt to find suits and so rack. Yeah. And so, you know what? I treated myself and got a few suits and then he does these custom linings. It's just a part of it, right? Like I could be boring and do nothing. But so, I've got a few different. I got one from my dog. I got one from my favorite teams. I had one that was made specifically for the Rangers, you know, World Series one, which championship logo, the logo and then the ring. And then I got one. I got another one. I forget what that is. But anyway, yeah, it's it's really cool. Yeah, cool. And did we also learn that what you have working between the hip and the knee is pretty impressive? I so, you know, I was born. To be a catcher. I was born to be, you know, my dad is a soccer player. I don't know, but like he's got massive legs, like calves, thighs, whatever, you know, and I don't know, like if some of that's hereditary, probably genetic or whatever, but like I've always had from the knee to the waist. It's not it's not like White Langford, but yeah, I've always had I could I could squat on you. I could I could do a little squatting on you. I'll pass. I would love to know about this baseball team is is the minor leagues now the most interesting story with de Grom tonight. I mean, how put that context? Yeah, I mean, yeah, you got de Grom tonight. Kamala rockers up in triple A. Jack Lider is going to start tomorrow. So I mean, I guess minor league adjacent in that regard, right? But yeah, I guess so, you know, Emiliano Tiodo Winston Santos, just kind of following the progress. Is it the most interesting thing? I guess, you know, ice cream flavors, right? But, you know, to me, like Corey Seager just hitting home runs right now is pretty cool. He's at 199. He's you know, when he gets the 200 will be making history and various measures. But yeah, I think when you think about next year, obviously the continued growth of Kamala rocker, what you get from Jack Lider, what you get from Jacob de Grom, I mean, those things are all relevant. Sure. Can I ask you, and I'm sorry, this is really not a baseball question, but can I ask you, at this time last year, how you felt to how you feel now, you know, I mean, last year, I mean, you're you're thinking you're getting into September and you're thinking maybe the team not playing great, but maybe we're good enough kind of, but how did you feel then to how you feel now? Yeah. So if you if you remember, this time last year, we were on the verge of the Astros coming to Texas and not just sweeping the Rangers, right? But like, it was a bloodletting, right? I mean, Jose Altuve, I think he had like 46 home runs in that series. In the was the finale of that series, he had three home runs and three innings, right? Or maybe a second, whatever. At that point, you're like, whoa, you know, this isn't this ship isn't leaking. It is sinking. It's taking a water bath. Yeah. Yeah. And I think in the days leading up, I mean, gosh, where we this time last year, where we played the Mets maybe, because I know the Mets series lined up with the first week of the US Open. So around there, and so the first game in the Mets series, I think we won with a Nathaniel low walkoff base hit. It was kind of a comeback in the ninth inning and then maybe one in the 10th or wouldn't have been a walkoff. I'm sorry, game winning hit in the 10th or whatever. But like even that, it felt so difficult to get that one win, right? Like the wins were so hard to come by this time last year. Okay. This, I mean, my feeling this year, it's like, I mean, resigned to what it is, right? It's been that way now for about a month. But you like that this time last year, you're thinking, well, so you weren't thinking maybe we were going to go on a run. You weren't. No, I wouldn't say, I don't think, I mean, walk. Okay. Eric always says this. And it's like this in baseball, sports, life, whatever. It's it's usually never as good as you think. It's usually never as bad as you think, right? So driving home from that Astros game, what in which they completed the sweep, like obviously, the feeling there's like, wow, this is not shot. But like even after, I mean, I came on air and I said it, I said it all month. I was like, Hey, enjoy the ride. You don't know. We had people calling in saying, I don't want the team to make the playoffs. They're just going to get bounced. It's like, what sort of a dumb take is that like this team hasn't been in the playoffs since 2016. You get in and you never know. I did not expect what happened last year to happen, right? No one did. I don't think anyone could have with the way the season ended predicted that. If you told me that they had a chance, I would have said you're crazy. It just, they were not writing in with Big Mo. But I think to me, brought us in any of these sports, football, basketball, hockey, baseball. One of the biggest fool's errands is to ride high on the team that is going into the postseason with a lot of momentum. I just feel like it is now maybe the Eagles last year is different because they looked broken for like eight weeks. But like the team that's got a lot of momentum. I mean, hackers. Yeah. So it just, I don't, I don't. But yeah, this, this upcoming month, September last year was a total rollercoaster. It's Jared Sandler's Rangers preview here on the fan.

Do you have any updates as to where the MLB is with the automatic balls and strikes situation? I can. I just want to quickly share one thing. Yes. The San Lachlan charity Happy Hours. This Thursday, it's free press and playhouse. LBJ and Preston. The auction is is now live. You go to at Jared Sandler on Twitter, the 1053, the fan Twitter account actually just tweeted it as well. It's just a little mini auction just to taste not our typical grand major auction, but it's going to go until Thursday at 7 15. You do not need to be at the event to bid or win. It's online. But the event is free. Five 30 start. It's at a pickleball place called Preston playhouse. So free pickleball, but it's not just pickleball. There's plenty of room, food, drinks, hang out. You don't need to play. And if you want to play great, it's an opportunity to play pickleball. There are lines a lot of times to go and play if to wait for courts. That's not necessarily going to be the case. At least it's going to be free. If you do have to wait, I will be giving out about $70,000 in grants as well and having a good time. So again, it's free. I would love to see everyone there and you'll be answering off the record baseball questions. I'll be answering depending on how much you've done it. Yes. Different donation levels will be different levels of candor. Yeah. You're asking about ABS? Yes. Yeah. Interesting. So we actually had a meeting majorly baseball. Thanks to John Shambi over the last couple of years has done a really good job. Boog. Yeah. Boog helped organize. You know, we don't have any representation or union or anything, but he reached out to majorly baseball and said, Hey, guys, like you guys need to do a better job of keeping us abreast on what's going on. I mean, we're, you know, we're a walking billboard for the league and what not a lot of ways. And so they've done a really good job of this and which I had a meeting the other day about kind of where things stand with that. So, you know, they've been testing stuff in the minor leagues, right? That's a beautiful advantage that baseball has that other sports maybe don't with the minor league system and the ability to test out some of these things. So automatic balls and strikes have been tested in a lot of different ways. First thing is the most negative feedback that they've gotten is when it's all automated. So if you look at it as like a partial automation with a challenge system, no automation at all, which is what we have in majorly baseball presently, or everything is just automatic, you know, automatically call it a baller strike based on technology. The automatic, you know, just from start to finish is the one that's gone the worst feedback from players, from fans, umpires, everyone, right? So it doesn't seem like that's the route majorly baseball is going to go. And we can get into why that does seem to make sense after testing. But it does seem like they're going to have a challenge system. How many challenges? I don't know. You know, there's been talk that maybe get two challenges a game. You know, maybe it's five. I'm not sure that they're still trying to figure that out. But I think what's really interesting is that they are, they are leaning towards, it seems like having a strike zone that is tailored to your height and not your batting stance. So if you're six one broadest and you're six one Dawson and you're six one, Eric and Eric, you bat in a big crouch. But Dawson's upright and broadest is somewhere in the middle. You're going to have the same strike zone. And there are a few reasons as to why one, everyone, the movement is so inconsistent. My, my, my batting stance in the first inning might be a little bit different in the third inning by choice or maybe not. They, one of the things they noticed was, you know, hitters as the as the game goes on, you dig into the, the batter's box. And so how you stand in the first inning might be a quarter of an inch or an half an inch higher than what it is in the seventh inning when the ground's given a little bit and you're a little bit lower and little things like that, you know, they said, you know, really can, can impact it. And so they're leaning towards a, a height-based strike zone, not a stance based strike zone. So that was interesting. Very interesting. And when could something like this take over? Yeah, it could be next year. And one of the questions I was asked was, are, you know, are we sure the league is moving in that direction? And the answer was no, right? There's no guarantee nothing has been decided. It does seem like it is heading in that direction. The challenge system has received, you know, very favorable response from, again, from everyone involved. That includes umpires that includes, you know, players, coaches, fans. And it seems like that's the direction, but they are, they are still open to not moving in that way. And I just, I get the sense that is not likely. I do think we're getting it. And it seems like next year is strong possibility. Do you think Major League Baseball doesn't want to jack with the time of the game that they got games at the times that they need? Well, I think they don't want to have more challenges and things like that. Yeah, I think so there are a few things. One, yeah, I think the idea is the challenge will be so immediate that it would only add a few seconds. But yes, I think that that's a part of it, right? You give somebody five challenges. I think three is the sweet spot. Are we challenging a computer though? It's either there or not. This isn't something that the human could have. But that's a, that's the whole plate umpires, calling balls and strikes. You can challenge three of their calls as opposed to a computer calling every pitch. That's what I was saying at the beginning. That's the system that got, has gotten the worst reviews and seems frankly the most unlikely to happen. All the ones that are called a computer all calls is the worst one. Yeah, like full robot. Yeah, full robot strikes. Yeah, that is not, that is from a consumer standpoint, a fan experience. It is not received well. The players don't like it. There's a lot of thought that like, Hey, you're going to really change the catching position. Now they can stick any one. Catcher will become another DH. You can stick anyone. There's no, you're, you're taking value away from a skill set that has been groomed for years. And the players don't like that. You know, the players can complain all they want. But I don't, I haven't found any player who has said with a lot of passion, I want fully automated balls and strikes. Most of them want a challenge system. I mean, the business of baseball is going well. You know, I think you can see in the NFL how they've changed the kickoff. And it does something to the game flow that's jarring from a fan experience. Yeah. You know, and as, as ideal as it sounds to have like certainty on, you know, a computer's vision compared to human bias, which is, I think is a whole nother set of problems, the game flow and the TV experience is, is probably the most important thing. And that was one of the questions was, because, you know, the, the strike zone, we see how much time do I don't want to get 45 seconds? Okay. How will the TV present the strike zone, right? Because if there's going to be a challenge system, are you going to know the answer ahead of time? Are they going to take the strike zone away on TV? Like what that's going to be an interesting question. How that gets presented TV wise, we got to be looking at the same thing. The ums are otherwise you're just misleading us and creating diffusion for no reason. Thanks to Lucius Alexander and the PIMP Cup over there at mass to control.
