March 12th. Ryan Horvot. There's something about this time of the month of March. where I feel very connected to you. Um Because it's been six years since COVID.
And we had chosen. Remember when I was just like I was, we were all getting set just to watch the conference tournaments? I believe it was. I think it was the Big 12, maybe. I don't know.
I don't remember if it was the Big 12 or if it was the ACC. A couple games were already in progress. Like they just went into the half. I think Pitt was playing. They went into the half, and then there was.
Never a second half. They didn't go back onto the floor. Because NBA shut down, and then college was like, and then it was a half of the big East tournament. That sucked. And then they shut it down.
And then. There was still some hope that the XFL would play that weekend. But then they're like, ah, we can't do this. We can't. Because somebody on like the Seattle Dragons got it.
And then they're like, ah, okay. Yeah. It was like SmackDown was live that Friday night. You know what's funny is so Nathan got like the video game, the new video game, which. I don't even think really comes out until this week.
We paid like $160 for the early release. Oh, we're getting it tomorrow. I've already been told. It has the.
So we've been playing it already, and it has the. The COVID era. Arenas With the screens. And so Nathan was like, I want to go back and watch a couple of these on Netflix now because there is no such thing as the WWE network. And I was like, no, it was so bad.
But we did it anyway. And there's so much that I forgot. Like, our boy. And friend of show, Otis. Was the money in the bank winner?
Seth Rollins legitimately They killed Rey Mysterio. Yeah, they threw him off the building. And then Seth Rollins. Tore his freaking eyeball out. There was like an eye for an eye match, and they ripped his eye.
It was a bad product, and I felt bad. Like, you feel bad going back and watching. And it was just, it was bad. It was all we had, though, man. The college basketball tournaments got canceled.
Remember, we thought that there was like an outside chance that the NBA would hang on and then Rudy Gobert? Touched the microphone and then he had COVID. Frickin' Rudy Gobert. And then everything was dead. And what's funny about that, not funny, because nothing about it was really funny.
But we had jobs.
So every single day, Monday through Friday, We were on the air for Four hours, twenty hours a week. We didn't even have commercials the final hour. We had a commercial free hour, which is insane. Even podcasts, you don't go 60 straight fucking minutes. But there was no sports and we had jobs now.
There's so much going on. There's the World Baseball Classic. There's. Hockey, there's basketball, there's baseball starting up. We got a real rivalry between your boys and mine, and we don't have jobs.
We don't have jobs. There's just random people that I've never heard of in Wisconsin. Hosting shows. And here, here, here I am. My thing, I just go to the gym all day.
That's all I do. I go to the gym and I eat like six meals, and I try to get in like 220 grams of protein. I said that if I'm not going to be working. I'm just going to try to become like the next fucking Mark Wahlberg. Maybe I'll get in on the next fair movie or something.
Let me in the fucking house. What do I do all day? I go for walks. Um They do pick up and drop off. I do that.
That's uh That's a good chunk of my time 'cause then we play at the park after and You know, that could be a while. And then I tweet a bunch of stuff that People that have, you know. Uh, blackballed me still to criticize.
So, you know, it's it's good. It's good to be. It's good to feel like a martyr. Yeah, I want to say something that I haven't been able to say, and now I could say it because, well, the severance has run up. You know what sucks about me not having a job is that I always thought that if you got good ratings and a ton of downloads, especially the most downloads on your entire show.
That you got to keep your job. I thought the only way that you lost the job in radio would be if your company went under, which.
Okay. You know. Ours didn't really. And if you said something to get canceled. And I didn't either, and yet I'm still here.
And I have no, I'm not able to talk sports, I'm not able to talk football, even though I didn't do anything wrong. And people listen to my show.
So that's what sucks, you know? Because, like, now, man. Like you said, we've kind of been Blacklisted blacklist. Because I'm still. Getting people, reaching out.
saying I miss you on the radio. Same. A guy tweeted today that he was like. He's just a lonely artist and he's got a flip phone and I was his companion at nights and It doesn't matter. How many of those you stack up?
It doesn't matter if it's hundreds. Thousands. Millions. And millions. Because the power of the people will be thwarted.
Buy the suits. For sure, I'm cool, like I said. If I gotta do something else. I got like a bunch of certificates now.
So, if I do want to coach high school football, I can do so. I uh If you if we if you and I go out to eat And, like, you go down, man. I can, I, I, I, I, I gotta, uh, I could give you the heim lick and everything now. But, um, I want to continue to do this because this is what I like to do.
So, hopefully, that works out. But, if it is the end. And it's just podcasts from here on out. As a guest, Then at least I went out the way that I wanted to, and I didn't have to be some like. corporate shill because that's how you survive.
I hate these new like hot take videos. Oh man. I love the Chiefs signing of Kenneth Walker. Are you fucking brain dead? Why would the can I ask you this?
Why would the chiefs? And I know we're going to talk free agency. What I'm saying is, I went out my way. You know, I'm not like doing fake pirate bits and giving out a bunch of fake parlays that I'm not even going to bet myself. Anything that I give out.
I actually bet and keep record of. But anyway, you know, not to be bitter here, but I thought that the Chiefs signing Kenneth Walker. Was one of the dumbest fucking moves ever. Why would you sign Kenneth Walker? when you could draft Jeremiah Love.
And I know that they need help up front. And then you can see that. Is it gonna be like a top six pick? All I'm saying is, man, Kenneth Walker just won a Super Bowl and now you're gonna give him the bag? Sure, there's great examples of running backs continuing success at 27, 28 years old.
Aaron Jones had a really good year last year for Minnesota. How much money, though, are you investing in the 26, 27-year-old running back? Jeremiah Love. Here's a hot take for you. I think he's the best player in the draft.
And I'm not only saying that because I'm a Notre Dame fan. Usually, I don't take a running back in the first round kind of guy. Fuck that though, dude. Bijan Robinson, I would have taken in the first round. Jameer Gibbs was an excellent pick, right?
We'll see about Genti. He was running behind an IHSA offensive line, so it's hard to judge with no quarterback play. I would take Jeremiah Love and pay him as a rookie running back. And I know, as a top 10 pick, a top 15 pick, you got to invest. Top 10 capital draft money, right?
But I would rather pay him. Cheaper than Kenneth Walker because I think he's a better back and he's younger. I hated that signing. Sign lineman. You got Mahomes killed.
You got him killed two years ago in the Super Bowl when you lost. You got him killed all year. People forget Mahomes has a torn ACL. When's he even going to be ready?
So I didn't like that pickup. And I don't like this new era where it's just like, I'm going to walk down the street and here's my take.
Okay. Yeah, I'm not into that either. Shit's lame. I've I tried. I tried to do like Well, I did one of those when I was bitching about LaFleur that I deleted.
But I tried doing one where, and then I tried doing one where then I like I run into something or I fall. Like, how funny is that? But. It kind of looked like I got Shot.
So I then I was like, that's kind of weird.
So I took it off, but I never posted it. But yeah, I was like, why is this guy driving? Like, the driving one. I started doing it, I started doing it as a bit. Right?
Like, I started doing it for a while because I thought it was hilarious. Like, where I'd be walking down the street and I'd be like, I like Notre Dame today catching 10. What do you think, buddy? What do you think about Notre Dame? You know, I thought that was kind of funny.
But I was doing it like to make fun of people. People really do this. And well, if you're going to do it, you got to do it in really like in a Chinese restaurant or in a Walmart or in somewhere it doesn't make any sense for you to be doing it. That's how you do it. I want to say, like, the names of the people that I see doing it all the time that I fucking despise and hate, and I hate their content.
But I don't want to get myself in any trouble legally yet for the next month for other reasons. And I'm still looking for a job.
So let's just throw out like, Somebody that I like, right? Like, let's say Grant. Is doing a video and he's just like driving in his car. Like, why couldn't Grant just wait the 15 minutes that the commute is going to take to do the video from like his home office or from the studio, right? I just think it's like, I know that that's what all the suits want nowadays: more content, more, more, more, more.
We don't want to pay any money. Locals dead, right? All all we want to do is just uh Throw out New York guys on the national scene, but it's always just film this, film this. What's your reaction? The Kansas City Chiefs just picked up a backup center.
Where's our video? More, more, more. But who at the office, who at the gym, who at home is really like, oh my God, did you see Grant's video walking down the street? I'm the Kenneth Walker pickup. Fucking excellent.
Fucking originality. We went from growing up watching legends and listening to legends like Howard Stern. Right, like, come here, honey, maybe sit on that speaker for 10 minutes, you know. Like original content.
Now it's just people walking down the street saying the most obvious shit. Cause it's always, and it's always, nothing's ever like, we gotta wait and see. It's always, this is the best pickup. This is the worst hire ever, worst coach ever, kill him. Best hire ever.
Ben Johnson.
Well, I did say the other day, I did. Hey, let's wait and see. Maybe Fernando Mendoza is going to be the real deal, and the Raiders will win 10 games. Maybe he fucking sucks, and that's an excellent system that he was in at Indiana. It's always, he's going to win a Super Bowl in two years, he's going to be a bust.
It's never, meh. I don't really know.
Well, you can't that that's not gonna do anything either. You have to have some opinion. I mean, I have like strong opinions, but sometimes I think it's okay just not to have an opinion on every single pickup, every single signing, and say, hey, We gotta wait and see. I did this with the Colts. Right?
I was like, ooh, because everybody ran and was like, Sauce Gardner fucking sucks. First round picks for Sauce Gardner dumb. And it turned out they were right. But I was like, let's play this in the middle. Because the Colts Right now, they're seven and one, eight and one.
Where do they need help? The secondary. Sauce Gardner might just need a change of scenery. Two years ago, as a rookie, he was an all-pro, he was the best corner in the league. Right, the Jets are a disaster, so I didn't hate the move for the Colts.
Then Daniel Jones dies, the team loses every game down the stretch, and Sauce Gardner only plays like six quarters.
So obviously, it sucked. The pickup sucked. But I was like, I don't know. I see where the Colts are coming from. And then I think it's a really good move from the Jets stacking all the draft picks that you could get.
I think that's kind of a good example of being in the middle. It wasn't like the Colts are brain dead. The Jets are brain dead. It was like, let's wait and see. You know what?
I think. Like the NFL draft. Let's wait and see. All right. Two radio free agents talking free agency here.
But before I come back to that. I do want to give. I need to Give you my Kenneth Walker take. I think it's going to be the greatest free agent signing of all time. I'm just kidding.
The first thing I texted somebody was. They're like Kenneth Walker to the Chiefs. And I said, get ready to learn seven for 27, buddy. They're not gonna they they famously don't Need running backs.
So, why did they pay the and Kenneth Walker? Who Okay, so fantasy-wise. I'm very knowledgeable about Kenneth Walker. I'm in a dynasty league where I have him and Zach Charbonnet. And every week I would start Walker and then every week Charbonnet would score.
So I've been disappointed by Kenneth Walker in the past. I think he'll have some games where he's very good. But I think the Chiefs, you know. They don't use running backs in that same situation. Sense.
What I would like to see you do. Because I think some of the best content. comes out of Anger. Um And I would like to see you. Take everything you just said, pivot.
and start a daily walking series called The Horvod Hustle. Yeah. Where you walk and you give your takes. For 30 minutes. Just walking around.
Just on a walk. Yeah, but then make sure you have really big tits also. Gonna need those. I know. No, no, no, no.
And again, yeah, I just think it's sorry, boobs. I just think it's I think the walking thing has played out. And again, I like Kenneth Walker. I think Kenneth Walker is a really good running back. I just, um.
I don't know, man. He just won a Super Bowl. He's looking for that probably last big contract, and you give it to him. And again, like the offensive line still sucks for Kansas City. That was the issue.
It was the issue two years ago. It was the issue again this year. When's Pat Mahomes coming back, even if he's ahead of schedule? Right. Yeah.
I don't know. I think the Chiefs. I think it's over for the Chiefs for a little bit. He wants to be back. I saw week three.
Corey's saying here, he told Jay Glazer mid preseason. I mean, Tatum just came back, Jason Tatum. I know, Celtics are scary. I got fifteen to win five hundred on them back in January. Played a little Celtics too.
I love Jason Tatum, too. I know that he's kind of a little bit of a choke artist when we get to the NBA finals and whatnot, but I think he's an excellent player. I don't think he's like a top three player or anything like that, but I think he's a really good player. He's a winning basketball player. Seems like a good dude and pretty remarkable coming back.
What is it, 10 months after that injury? One NBA thing quick. People that are going out of their way to defend Bam Adabayo, like you are on the wrong side of history. That was bullshit. Yeah, but you're going to blame him.
I would want to score 85 points, too. I would too.
So if I was him And if I was the heat... I would have done the same thing. Because the further you get away from that, The less toxic it will be. Bam's 83 is not going to be toxic in 10 years. When people are like, who scored the most points in the game?
Will Bam. Kobe But You know, Keldon Johnson spiking free throws at the rack.
So that they can miss. Yeah, it's bullshit. It was bullshit. It was bullshit, especially if they're up like 20-plus points against the freaking wizards. Two things can be true.
It can be A historical achievement. That was, I mean, they got rewarded for bad behavior. Let me just, let me just. Let me just say the line. That's what happened.
They got rewarded. For bad behavior. I didn't like that everybody was like, well, he shouldn't have broke Kobe's record. But the thing is, Kobe doesn't even have the record. Right.
This is the only record where we treat second place as first place. Yeah, like we'll always remember Kobe, but like if I have the opportunity to pass him. If we treated second place records like the record, Mark Gastonone would have never confronted Brett Favre in a trading card shop. I have always tried not to be this guy because I've always loved the league. The NBA is dog shit and I can't even defend it anymore, man.
It's a really bad product. I do enjoy watching a couple teams like OKC still fun. Detroit's fun. The Bucs, I bet them again the other night. They're one and a half point dogs every single night.
Every night I keep telling myself, well, they can't lose again. And they do. And they always have the lead going into like the third quarter. NBA is still the same. You want to be down about 20 going into the half.
I hate it. It's a terrible league. I am getting back into college basketball, especially with the tournament going on right now. Miami of Ohio lost today. Yeah, they went down.
I was betting against them for a while too on the money line. I was like, pressure is going to get to them. And then today, I bet them. I was like, everybody's betting against them. They're going to win by 20.
And they were up like six or eight. I was at the gym, of course, because it's all I do. And they blew it. Today's show is sponsored by Strawberry.me. Let me ask you something.
Do you think championship athletes got to the top by guessing? No, they had coaching. Every elite athlete has a coach watching their form, calling the plays, and spotting the blind spots they can't see themselves. That's how championships are won.

All right, let me throw something at you real quick. My NFL free agency winner. Here's the team that I'm going to buy low on right now. Tell me if they're too popular, though. I've never been a big Bryce Young guy.
He looks like he's in the sixth grade. But I like how he played down the stretch. I am a Bryce Young guy. I like how he played against the Rams, even if they had a weak secondary, which, right? Like, If you're going to bet a Super Bowl future, it's probably the Rams.
They needed help in the secondary and they get the best corner on the market. I love that move for them. Everybody's going to like them though. I kind of like Carolina as like a buy-low team. I got to see what their win total is going to be and what their division futures are going to be.
I'm not going to bet them to win the Super Bowl or to win the NFC or anything like that. But that defense, which was a huge issue three years ago when they were historically bad, worst run defense, I think, in league history, much better, man. They get Jalen Phillips for $120 million, but money well spent. And then they get Devin Lloyd for $45 million.
So two of the best players available at their positions on the defensive side of the ball. They already have really good interior linemen.
Well, they have Derek Brown, who's a really good interior lineman. And they have JC Horn. They might have a top 10. Buy high, buy low, top five defense. Um I like that, man.
I like this offseason, even though they lose Rico Dowdle. I was glad that they didn't overspend on him. He's not going to have another season like that. But with that defense, Tet McMillan, year two, we'll see what they do in the draft. I kind of like what Carolina did here the last week.
Rico Daldo's three hot weeks was the most Jeremy Lynn running back. Excursion. Dude, it was crazy though. Of all time. Yeah, I like the Panthers.
I like Bryce Young. I think that. Bryce Young's going to prove to be better than C.J. Stroud. That's my take.
So I'm going to ride with them on that. Brian Horvot is here. What? I was a Stroud guy, man. He's awful.
He's horseshit. Yeah. And I didn't like how he's like... I didn't like when he tried to like big brother Caleb Williams. Because even I said it at the time, I was like, dude, he's better than you.
Like, he's better than you. He's at a dog shit offense, right? Yeah, he hasn't made good sense. No, no. And like the testing, remember, like, we were ripping the testing.
Yeah, maybe there's a little bit something to the testing. Maybe Paul was right, man, because I think CJ Stroud might be brain dead. Uh Yeah, maybe. We'll see. I was just going to do a professional reset again on a podcast.
This is into the Winklerverse.
Well, we are live, so you know.

YouTube stream. Packers. They lost. A handful of guys. Thank Christ, all of them.
Yeah, I did have a nice I had a nice tidy list here. They lost Malik Willis. They lost Romeo Dubbs, who joins the five other Romeo Dubbs on the Patriots. I already said that joke. I'll say it again.
Rasheed Walker, Kway Walker. Kingsley and Gabari. Did I say that right? Paul's always. Emmanuel Wilson, oh, Trayvon Diggs, Nate Hobbs, they cut.
They traded Rashawn Gary. They bring in Javon Hargrave. Finally, some of the NFC North incest comes our way. And then Benjamin St. Juice, the cornerback.
And I don't know, maybe more people want to. Pontificate, but they lost a lot of guys. You know, they trade Colby Wood in for Zaire Franklin, so that's an upgrade as well. Um I don't know that they're any better. I don't know that they're any worse.
You just got to hope that the guys. I mean, Nate Hobbs is a colossal failure. They don't. They're keeping Aaron Banks. They cut Elton Jenkins also.
Which I did not see that ending this way with how high they were on him. A while back. Yeah. Uh I gotta be honest. What letter grade would you give the Packers?
Right now, incomplete, right? They need help in the secondary, man. It's going to obviously. The whole season comes down to can Micah Parsons Come back and be Micah Parsons immediately because I know he's ahead of the rehab time and he wants to be out there. If you notice, it's always I want to be out there preseason, I'm going to be out there week one.
Like we just got done saying with Mahomes and Micah Parsons, but. Um like if he's healthy. He's still a top five at worst. Edge rusher in the league. And if you could get constant pressure on the quarterback and you don't leave your dog crap corners on an island all game.
For three, four, five seconds with the quarterback in the pocket. you know, the defense is going to look better, but I still worry about the secondary. For Green Bay. It's just, I tweeted about this. And I know I'm a little bit of a goot hater.
But he gets an extension, and I just don't understand it. Like, I love the Micah Parsons trade. I would make that deal too, I would give up two first-round picks. I'd probably give up three first-round picks for a Miles Garrett or a Micah Parsons because you need edge rushers. But.
Like, he always gets a pass, man. All these guys are first-round picks. None of them ever work out, and a couple of them have even been paid and got that second contract, Rashawn Gary. I didn't love the pick only because I liked Rashawn Gary, the player at Michigan, but I didn't know what he was going to be at the next level. Was he an edge rusher?
Was he going to play with his hand in the dirt? Was he a defensive tackle? I didn't know. Had a good year, contract year, gets the bag, and then, like, you kind of forgot about him. I didn't even notice he was on the field.
Never got after the quarterback, was getting paid like a top edge rusher. The run defense grade stuff was pretty good, but. He never had double-digit sacks after getting paid, so I think that was the right move. But again, it was a first-round draft pick who you paid, and it doesn't work out. Quay Walker.
I thought he was talented, but again, I thought he was like a little brain dead, man. Like, he's a hell of a football player, but he just didn't have the smarts. He was trying to fight people every week, including athletic trainers. I thought he was going to get punted off the planet for a while there. First round pick, though, right?
And now he's gone. Nate Hobbs last year was one of your big off-season pickups. And yeah, he was awful. But he was playing out of position all season long. He's a slot corner.
And because of injuries and lack of talent, you were playing him out of position.
So I wasn't bringing him back at that price tag, but if you would have taken a pay cut, I would have brought him back. Again, I don't, like you said, I don't think you're any worse. I don't think you're any better. They need help in the secondary. I don't necessarily love losing Dobbs, even though he's not a number one wide receiver by default on this team.
He's like the one guy, except for on special teams, that you could trust. If Christian Watson could stay healthy, you could trust him. I like Jaden Reed, but that drop, ooh, to end the season kills.
So you're going to need some help in the wide receiver room. You definitely need some help in the secondary. I like Hargrave, but isn't he 33 years old? No, son's pumped to come here. That was cute.
I saw that. You need some help in the interior. And then you need to get Micah back, and the defense should be better. But yeah, I mean, they didn't really blow me away with anything. And I think Goot continues to get a free pass for a lot of dog shit.
First round draft picks. that haven't been, like that haven't worked out. Yeah. I'm going to go through some of the other teams. Um and when I see things that we should comment on.
I will throw them your way. Um I guess I'll just start. I got I got it in alphabetical order. Arizona getting rid of Kyler. We knew that was coming.
It seems like he's headed to Minnesota. is where the dots are connecting.
So good luck. That might work though. But I also, I don't know. I mean, I'm thinking Kyler with Justin Jefferson. I'm also thinking.
Kyler with You know. Fitz or Marvin Harrison, and it's like They're still They're still going to be eight and nine. They might actually be worse. The Falcons getting to a. They're not going to start him, are they?
That's Pennex's job. I thought they were just bringing in. A lefty backup. And everyone's making the Hawk to It joke 'cause it's so funny. But Tua's not starting in Atlanta.
He might end up starting in Atlanta. Penix is awful. I wanted him to be good. Right, but like ooh, it didn't look very good. But Yeah.
What's the excuse you could even make for Tua, right? Like, oh, he just needs a change of scenery? He can't play in cold weather. He needs a better play caller. I like McDaniel.
He needs better weapons. He had Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddell and Devon Han. Right. I mean, yeah, but he's also, his team also was like trying to get him concussed. Yeah, I I think like Remember the week, everybody?
Remember the week, everybody. Said Tua needs to retire. Yeah, because all week then he played, he was fine. And we've never said it again.
So, I didn't say it at the time because if you're going to say it then, you got to say it now. You got to say it every time you see Tua, you got to say he shouldn't be in there. But we got our takes out for the week. And then we moved on. I would assume that Tua is probably like the insurance policy.
Most likely, he's going to have to start to start the season because Pennix got hurt. And then when Penix comes back, it's his job unless Tua is balling out. But I just. I don't know. I mean, they have a ton of weapons, and every year people are betting them to win the division.
So. We'll see. We'll see if that goes down. I don't know, man. I'm not a Tua guy, though.
I would rather have Kirk Cousins, honestly. Kirk Cousins balled out when he was finally. You know, put out there. Two years ago, I didn't really understand because he wasn't healthy. He couldn't take snaps under center.
So if they were going to run the ball, They were in the pistol. And if they were going to throw the ball, they were just in traditional shotgun. If an idiot like me could tell you that, obviously, defensive coordinators picked up on it pretty quick. But then last year, he looked healthy.
So So where's cousins going to go? He should go to the NFL on CBS desk, is where he should go. I mean, he probably should, but. I don't know. Where maybe I saw the Raiders might go after him, which would make a ton of sense because the reports are that the Raiders don't wanna start Fernando Mendoza week one.
They don't want to start him as rookie year, which we hear with all these guys. Remember, Drake May wasn't going to start. Caleb Williams might not start. Jaden Daniels might not start. They all start.
Um But that would make sense. And I think that even Eli was going to sit for a year behind Kurt Warner, and they were starting him by week A. Tua. I think Tua got the knot after Fitzpatrick won a game.
So they still made the switch. It might not be the dumbest move, though, right? Like, build the offensive lineup. Let him learn the offense. I don't mind quarterbacks sitting and not being thrown into the fire right away.
Some guys, I just think it serves them best to be thrown into the fire right away. Like, even though I just want that decision made, I want teams. If they say we're going to sit you. You. Stay the course.
You don't throw them in because you're Three and six, and you're like, we need some wins. No, you don't need wins. Otherwise, you would have started the guy you drafted in the first round. Right, exactly. I still think the Raiders.
Start Mendoza week one. My hot take, man, is. I'm not saying he's going to be a better quarterback. But I like what I saw from Ty Simpson in the combine. Um And he can make all the throws.
I know he had a couple bad weeks at Alabama. He wasn't healthy down the stretch. And what happened was Alabama's offensive line wasn't your typical Alabama offensive line, especially in pass protection. Caden Proctor is an absolute stud. He's going to be a top 20 pick.
But in those, the blueprint on how to beat Alabama and how to shut down Ty Simpson. They picked up on that after the Oklahoma game. And then Georgia did the same thing in the SEC title game. They just blitzed him on like 80% of his drop back.
So he struggled under pressure. When he was kept clean, he had like a 98.2 passing grade. When he was under pressure, it was like 54.6%. Why can't he be Ty Simpson the next Jared Goff? Kirk Cousins.
He's gonna be a first round pick. I think he's gonna get drafted higher than people expect. And I think he's going to be. He might be just, I think he's going to find success earlier if he's in the right situation, maybe than Mendoza, man, because a lot of young quarterbacks struggle when they're under pressure. Who doesn't when you got a 6'4 edge rusher in your face?
So I still like Ty Simpson, even after a couple of stinkers down the stretch. I think he's the second best quarterback in this draft. He might end up being the best quarterback, but you got to draft Mendoza. He's the safe pick. He just won a national title, won a Heisman, could also make the throws.
But I don't know. I know a lot of guys, not a lot of guys, but some of the film guys like Dan Orlaski, I know he really likes Ty Simpson. I think he likes Ty Simpson more than. Fernando Mendoza. I wouldn't be shocked if he turns out to be a better pro.
That's all I'm saying. I don't trust a word that guy says. I love it. I don't trust her. I don't know what they're up to.
I don't know what the angle is. I like when Dan's breaking down film. I'm not really, I don't care about these reports. I like when Dan pauls a Barton as a victim online. I really only listen to Jay Glazer as far as reporting goes.
Oh, yeah, he works out with all these guys. Right. Yeah. He has the inside track. Oh, you know, you know what I was going to do really quick?
What? I do I'm gonna bet a future. And it was the team that I liked last year. Two years ago, I bet this team to miss the playoffs after they made the Super Bowl. Last year, I bet the win total over, and that worked out.
This year, man. I think they're winning it all. I at least think that they're winning the NFL. Niners? Pull me up a San Francisco 49ers.
Future right now. I'll do it myself. I'm gonna go to um Dude, Mike Evans, Mike Evans going there like... shocked me. Like Mike Evans leaving Tampa.
was more shocked. I was more shocked than I would be if. Like an alien came to my front door tonight and said. Hey, wanna hang out? I hate that they lose and I can't believe I'm saying this though, man.
And I told you it was going to happen. I said, Robert Sala is going to do an excellent job. And some stupid ass team. Is going to hire him to be a head coach. I didn't know it was going to take one year.
I wish he was going back because I think he's an excellent defensive coordinator. I love Kyle Shanahan. I don't care what anybody says. I know he shoves our guy in a locker every time they meet. I don't care.
So the Niners right now, for context, have the same price as the Chargers. They're 16 to 1. Really quick Super Bowl odds. The Rams are the favorites, plus 775. Not betting that.
The Seahawks are 9-1, not betting that. They're not repeating. The Bills are 10-1, no chance. The Ravens are 10-1, no chance. Lions are 15-1.
That's the other team, dude, because they're going to be playing a last-place schedule. With that offense healthier, the defense can't be any worse. I think they missed their window. I don't know, man. I thought the last place schedule is, you know, that's a good talking point.
Kind of like them at 15 to 1. The Chiefs at 15 to 1, no. Eagles, 15 to 1, no. Packers at 15 to 1, of course, because I do it every year. Chargers, 16 to 1, absolutely not.
49ers, 16 to 1. Give it to me, man. We got Brock Purdy. Dude's such a devoted father and a devoted athlete that he doesn't skip out on either. He's just doing his drills.
With the baby right next to him. Look at the baby. Look at the baby. I know everybody thinks Mike Evans is going to get hurt. He's been hurt once in his career, even at 32.
He's going for a thousand yards. I'm betting his receiving yard's over. He's a stud. McCaffrey. I don't care if he's approaching 30, stud.
One of the best players in league history. I don't care.
I've been having this argument with some of my buddies because I said he's one of the great all-time purpose backs, not best backs, all-purpose backs. Argue with a tree. Every year, a thousand receiving yards, a thousand rushing yards. Fuck you all. McCaffrey's the real deal.
The defense, even without Salah, I think it's going to be better. Tougher schedule, but I like the Niners and I like the Lions. Is my Super Bowl picks here early? Keep going down that list. What's after the Niners?
Alright, after the Niners, they're 16 to 1. Where are the Bills? Those are 10 to 1. Don't do it. I'll give you 12 to one.
If you want to bet $100 on the bills, Venmo me right now, and I'll give you 14 to 1.
Okay. I'm so done with them. I hope it happens. What's after the Niners?
Patriots 19 to 1. No. Broncos 20 to 1. Never. Bears 20.
What are the Jags? What are the jags? 22 to 1, same price as the Bears. There it is. Duval.
Duval. So I liked the Bears. What are Mac and Rodgers? I'm going to bet the Bears win total under. That defense better pray that they're taking the football away.
Do you think if Rodgers comes back, they'll call him. Mac and cheese. They're seventy to one.
Now Dude. I'm going to go back to Pittsburgh for a game. That they just play like the Browns. I'm all in. I gotta be honest.
I just kind of wanna be able to get back. I kind of want it to be over, man. Do you know While I still think Rodgers is... Aloof. Um And not married.
How do you I don't. I would really like to talk to him for an hour. About the shit he goes on Joe Rogan and says. I think I got a lot more in common with Rogers than I thought I did. They shouldn't have been so hard on him.
Maybe you could get him on. Do we still got the see if whoever's working? Call up Charlie, whoever's at 12:50 today, and see if the Rolodex, the little black book, still in the. In the back, there. You know, I was just wondering because I had on, I used to get WWE stuff, and then I had on Cody Rhodes.
The one time. And then I think WWE is like. What even was that?
Now they don't send me shit no more. Like, what was Cody? What did Cody just go on? It's like he went on into the Winkler verse. What the fuck is that?
Well, it's not like Cody Rhodes says no to anything. He's all over everything. He just did a podcast with this Marvel guy I listened to. Really? There's some guy that does like Marvel stuff, but he's a wrestler too.
So they're just talking comic books? I don't know. He's wrestling in OVW. This guy's name is Brandon Davis. Um I listen to his Marvel DC pods, you know.
That's the kind of shit I like in my spare time. Um Speaking of speaking of this is something you say when you bring it back to 10 minutes ago. The Raiders, do you think the Ravens fucked around on purpose or they got Hendricks in and they have to give up picks? What was that? Because now everyone's like, oh, no one's going to deal with the Ravens, but I Again, like BAM, the further you get away from something, the less it's going to matter.
Yeah, you and I are toxic right now, but we'll be hired again one day. Actually, we might not be. We're getting fucked. Yeah, I don't know. I think it works out better for the Ravens, though.
You get Henrikson, who every single year.
Now, the concern is no one will want to deal with them again. Yeah, somebody will end up dealing for the right price.
Somebody will, though. And. Yeah, I have a hard time believing that, right?
Now, maybe certain teams. Do stay away from Baltimore, but At the end of the day, Who gives a shit? Everybody's competing against each other anyway. Yeah, just because you do one thing that someone doesn't like doesn't mean you should be blackballed forever. And I like Henriksen as a player, as long as, like I said, he's healthy.
He's going to give you 13.5 to 16.5 sacks, even if he's getting a little bit older. He's still. Under 30 years old, and I like Max Crosby now with Crosby. Like that dude just has a motor. He doesn't leave the field.
You know, so like he doesn't have he plays every single down, but you know, you're getting a good player. And like you said, you don't have to give up the picks.
So I like this move for Baltimore. I'm not really in on Baltimore though. I'm not a hardball guy, but I just don't know that it's just like they just needed a different voice in that locker room. I do like Lamar, but I need to see him do it in the playoffs, man. It's always something like that.
You want to talk about missing a window? Three years ago, they had a historic defense. They had home field advantage, they had the Chiefs at home. And instead of run the ball. Because they were doing it for six yards per carry.
They dropped Lamar back 40 times and he throws a bunch of picks.
So I just feel like they're always going to find a way to fuck it up. What were you saying, though? My bad. That's my whole angle. Is One of the reasons I'm very anti-our head coach in Green Bay.
Is because I can't, even if they get the buy. I can't foresee. him coaching Three playoff victories in a row. And I also can't see. Lamar Jackson.
Winning three playoff games in a row. I just can't. He hasn't done it. He's looked really bad in the postseason. And you can make you know, you can blame the offense or the play calling, but You got to win at least three, usually four games in a row.
To win the Super Bowl. In those high-pressure stakes, sometimes on the road. And then the Super Bowl is its own beast. That's how I'm thinking of these teams in the playoffs. Support for this podcast comes from Progressive, America's number one motorcycle insurer.
Did you know riders who switch and save with Progressive save nearly $200 per year? That's a whole new pair of riding gloves and more. Quote today: Progressive Casualty Insurance Company and Affiliates. National average 12-month savings of $197 by new customers surveyed who saved with Progressive between October 2024 and September 2025. Potential savings will vary.
Yeah, I feel like with Lamar, man, I mean, he's had some really good seasons. The Packers couldn't even win a game past Thanksgiving weekend.
So, how the fuck are they going to win? It's like you said, I mean, you could blame the play caller, you could blame. The coaching, but The one thing I would blame. Would be like for Lamar, he's never had a number one wide receiver. I would love to see Lamar Jackson with a Mike Evezzo.
They might be there. Zay's good, but I mean, he's not. Imagine like if Lamar had a Jackson Smith and Jigba. Or um You know, Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase. He's never had anything like that, like what Joe Burrow has.
Sabian Williams. You know, Lamar's awesome. I mean, they give him Derrick Henry a couple of years ago, but I mean, he's a running back.
So that would be the case I would make for Lamar, like, surround him with a bunch of talent. With LaFleur, I do think LaFleur can do it. We've seen him coached at the NFC Championship game.
Now he's been outcoached in those games. I still hate the decision to take Rodgers off the field, even if. He did have three straight incompletions, one of them dropped by Devontae Adams that should have been caught. I hate that decision, though, to make a one-possession game, a one-possession game, especially with that defense and trust them against Tom Brady. But The argument I would make is like LaFleur last year, the Packers probably make a deeper run.
They at least probably win a playoff game if Micah Parsons doesn't get hurt. When he got hurt, everybody else got exposed. Yeah, that's fine, really. They were still up 21-3. For sure.
For sure. For sure. So you got to blame that on the floor. But I feel like this year. Probably the next two years.
He has to win a Super Bowl or not this year anymore because they gave him the extension. Yeah, but I still think that's the problem. People are going to put the pressure on him this year that they should have put on him last year. He should have been fired. To your window, dude.
Micah Parsons. Still going to be a top-five edge rusher for the next two years. Jordan Love is still going to be a top-ten quarterback for the next couple of years. I think. Now is the time that you got to strike.
Man, I don't know. I don't. Every year we're like, oh, they don't really need a number one wide receiver. You know, one week it could be Wicks, one week it could be Watson. One week.
Yeah, that only works when you don't have a number one wide receiver. I wish they had Devontae Adams, even at 33 years old, man. Look what he does for the Rams. He's a red zone threat. He's still one of the better route runners.
I just wish that. They would have got that deal done, even if Rogers wasn't sticking around. I would remember when I liked Devontae Adams. Remember when Jordy got hurt, and they were like, oh, Cobb can be a number one receiver. And then instead, he was like a number four receiver.
James Jones, he had 10 touchdown catches. Yeah, I mean, that's the thing. Yeah, like Cobb was never going to be a number one wide receiver. He's like five foot ten. He's a skill position dude.
He's a gadget guy. How much do you need from Bull Boy20? I'll pay Horvot to do a weekly show with Bart. I mean, I'll just do it. This is the first time that you've texted me in like three weeks.
I thought we were going to do something every single week. And then I look, and you got Wicked on, and you got Chuck on, and you got everybody else.
So I figured, hey, this guy doesn't need me anymore. I'll just eat, you know.
Well, next week, next week, I'm trying to play on a wicked Chuck Horvot thing, and I text Wicked about it yesterday. He goes. Yeah, maybe. I'm redoing my basement. Like what?
Just fucking go go in your car and make Horvot mad. Broadcast out of your car.
So, TVD on that. No, you could do the broadcast in your car. Like, if it's like a breaking story that you have to get to. Like, if the Packers made a trade for Micah Parsons. And you're in the car for the next three hours, you got to do the video.
My thing is that you're saying I think people are going out of their way to film the content and make them look like make it look like they're doing shit that they're not doing. Yes. Like if I'm at the gym or if I'm at Joe's Hot Dogs. And Giannis gets traded. I got to talk about it right there.
But like I don't need to talk about Kareem Hunt going to the Titans on a one-year deal at the barber shop. That's all I was saying. Is that where he went? Yeah. Where's David Njoku going to go?
Hey, why did Alec Pierce get $114 million? No idea. That means we're going to have to give Christian Watson. Four years for $750 million.
Well, we got in the market at the right time. Didn't they just pay Christian Watson? $116 mil, actually, he got, by the way, for four years. Fuck. Why?
I don't know. And I think they're going to be dog shit, right? Like, I think trying to run back what you had the first eight weeks of the season is a bad move. Jonathan Taylor was playing out of his mind. Then the offensive line fell apart.
Daniel Jones got out. Oh, didn't we get Sky Moore, too? Yeah, yeah, which I forgot about. And then I saw, oh, I was on Facebook, aka The Dark Way. What number is he going to wear for us, Q?
I was like you are code. I was like, man, the fucking Packers have been underwhelming. And I see. Mike Clemens had a Facebook post and it was like. Even though the Packers lose Rashawn Gary and Romeo Dobbs, they add a wide receiver and some help.
And I get all excited, right? And I see Hargrave and I was like, yeah, I know about that nice. I'm like, what receiver did they get? And I'm thinking I missed like a big move. He's got Sky Moore on there.
I'm like, isn't Sky Moore in the CFL? No, no, he's still a card-carrying member of the NFLPA. It doesn't really. You know, it doesn't do it for me. Skymore, Skymore is every fucking dude they bring in every year.
And what's going to really drive me nuts is going to be when LaFleur tries to make him Tyler Irvin, who is also dog shit, and he's doing the gadget stuff with him, the end around and the jet sweeps with Skymore in the Lord's year of 2026. You know it's coming.
Somebody please get LaFleur a real weapon, like a real gadget guy to use in this role.
Well, last year we had McColl Hardman, and we didn't do anything with him. I keep wanting it to be Jaden Reid. Jaden Reed is just such a violent player that he's never going to be healthy, I feel. Yeah, we suck. We could easily win the Super Bowl, and I wouldn't be shocked.
It just comes down to, again, Micah Parsons staying healthy. It sucks. Do you think they like try to move up in the draft this year for once? No? Packers?
No. I have a question. Or I'd like to admit something.
Okay. I never thought Geno Smith was good. No, me either. Because he's not good. He and he's living off the they ain't right back.
And now he's in Now he's in.
Social media beefs pun intended with Wendy's Why? They said something about. They cocked off to him. You can see that.
Okay. No, I'm gonna look at it though. What the fuck are the Jets doing though? And I know. They're rehabbing their defense.
And then they traded for Geno Smith. They're doing all this stuff because they think Aaron Glenn. It's like them bringing back Vinny Tester Verdi. Dude, Aaron Glenn is not a head coach. He's not even a defensive coordinator.
Those Lions defenses were no good. Literally, the reason that they lost in the playoffs at home. to a rookie quarterback. It doesn't make sense to me. They lost to a rookie quarterback.
At home, they won 15 games at home field advantage and they get beat by the commanders. And Aaron Glenn gets a head coaching gig. And they're going to build this defense just like they did for Sala. And not worry about the offensive side of the ball, although they did get Rodgers and all his buddies. It's just like, it's not gonna work, dude.
I know defense wins Super Bowls, but you have to have some sort of offense. And Geno Smith. Sucks. He's terrible. Um I think it's worse every time.
I need to do one thing. that I'm going to clip. Before the end of this, here, are there any other free agents? That are burning a hole in your pocket that you need to talk about. We could talk about the Michael Pittman trade.
We could talk about Fucking who knows.
Now, again, I like what Carolina did. Although I do think that the Saints are going to be really tough in that division because Tyler Shuck, man, I mean, he's good, turns out. I like what the Niners did, even if he's older. I do like. Mike Evans.
And I like what the Patriots did. I'm not going to bet them. 20 to 1, but they spent a ton of money last year in the offseason and they did it again. I mean, granted, it's Romeo Dobbs that you're spending 70 million on, but he's reliable. I like Dobbs, I like Vera Tucker.
You get a Pro Bowl safety, you get another edge rusher and Jones. Um, kind of like what New England did. I do not like what the Jets did with Geno Smith. I love what the Rams did because they trade for Trent McDuffie, and that's exactly what they needed. Um and then uh oh one thing though, dude.
I hated what, um... I don't like the offseason already for the Eagles. I think the Eagles might miss the playoffs next year. Right? Like they lost three starters now on the defensive side of the ball.
They lose Nicobie Dean, they lose Goddard. They lose the championship. And they sign Reek Wollen. I think the Eagles are a six, seven win team. Let's look at a...
Let's look at Siriani odds first coach fired.
Okay. Um what are they? Let's see. It's got to be Aaron Glenn, like three to one. No, because I think they'll just let him suck.
But like the Eagles are a year removed from a Super Bowl. They're going to want to win.
So, Aaron Glenn's like: if you can get through the first shitty year, you're going to coach here for five shitty years. You know what I mean? Yeah, like I think they at least give him two. But Like, if they get off to a slow start and I said when he got hired, he will be a playoff team in his third year. Oopsie.
Alright, here we go. Um Oh je Jesus, never mind. First coach fired. I don't think they're up yet. They're not up yet.
They're not up yet. No, no, no, no, no, no. I think the Lions, dude, are going to be good this year, even though I'm not a Dan Campbell guy. But I think if Philly, they lose three starters on defense. Is A.J.
Brown even going to be there? Saquon's going to be another year older. He wasn't very good this year. I think Siriani, there's a good chance they start one and three, one and four. He's canned.
There's a hot ticket. Should I go walk down the streets of Bethesda? Nick Siriani. You fucking bum! It's like I told the buddies at Syracuse.
I think we surrounded them. Why are they always angry, too? I think we both have to do a video today where we're outside walking now. Why are the New York guys always angry? I don't know.
Traffic Fucking Aaron Judge, man. Get your fucking head in the game, man. He can't be up there if he's not up there at the plate. When it's When it's a chance to get USA a lead against Italy, how's he going to be doing that on June 21st for the Yankees? Look, look, look, I don't care if the Knicks are 48 and 20, the Frauds, the Fughese.
The fraudulent. That's a word I've never said in my life. I wouldn't have fire tibs, okay? And don't get me started on the goddamn Jets. The Jets don't know what they're doing.
I've been around since 72. I went to the game with my old man in 79. I take my kid every single Sunday. We're there in East Rutherford. In this team, they just can't get out of their own way.
And I've had enough. And it starts up top with management and with the GM. I don't want to hear about fucking Geno Smith. What year is it that we're talking Geno Smith? Cashman Judge The fucking Yankees.
QS hasn't won a game in two weeks. Bring back Boeheim. That's a good accent. Thank you. And then there are nails.
You gotta credit New York Radio because they can get a lot. They get a lot of conversation on shit like I'll tell you the problem with. I can't do it. The problem with the order, it isn't one through four. No, it's the six, seven hitters are in the wrong spot.
Here we go. I'm just going to pull up a couple of things. Kyla Baleffa needs to be ahead of Brett Gardner. I'm sorry. Here we go.
I pull it up. WFAN Sports Radio, here's their first tweet that I see. Craig Carton says the Jets had the dumbest move of the offseason until the Giants signed Evan Neal. And I'll tell you. I thought I seen it all.
Bringing back Geno Smith. Until The New York Football, Giants. Bring in Evan Neal. What are you doing? What are you doing?
And they're like, my cousin, I got a nice life over on East 33rd knows that Evan Deal has been cooked for over three years now. He's more cooked than my Thanksgiving turkey. Here we go. Evan calls out the WBC for rigging the bracket so the US and Japan can't meet until the finals. Yeah, that's like a rule of the tournament.
Here we go. I got a long family. I got a great grandma that lived till she was 105. I got a grandparents. They're still alive.
They're in their 90s. My ma has beat cancer six or seven times. Here we go. I'm telling you, my genes are going to fall victim to the one curse that will befall this family, and it's these damn New York Jets. Another losing season's going to put me into an early grave.
Here we go. Last night was a disgrace of the game of basketball as we know it, says Craig Carton about Bam Atabio. I grew up. Watching bird. Watching Johnson.
Watching Ewing. Watching stocks.
Now we got some Jabroni going out there shooting 43 free throws in a fucking game. You and I could score 43 points in today's NBA at Easton 33. He don't shoot 45 fucking three throws a game. And this is what this league has become. I'll tell you.
I'll tell you, they don't got my money anymore. They don't got my league pass. In the trash. Here we go. There we go.
One more. One more. Craig Carton says Italy and Mexico would be smart to collude to make sure they both advance home. That's actually a pretty good take. They should have.
All right, one last one. C-Mac. Went off. Of course, because it could never just be: hey, it's fucking Tuesday and the sun's out in New York, you know. C-Mac went off because people were criticizing Aaron Judge because he struck out in a big spot.
It is the other thing. Aaron Judge. Guy hits 347. Strikes out one fucking time. And he's the goat.
He's the scapegoat. How about you look at uh one through eight in that lineup? I'm out of content on the New York stuff, but they're always in that. They're always a it's always Like, it's gotta be really easy to be the producer of a show in New York. Just Hey, Craig, what are we angry about this morning?
Hey, C-Mac. Hey, Evan. Hey, Tiki and Tierney. Hey Tiki Barber, what are we angry about this morning? You know, whatever just happened to whatever happened to fun loving.
Sports radio. Take me out to the ball game. It's dead. Doesn't exist anymore, man. It's dead.
Doesn't um that was great. Seminole moment on this show. And the history. One thing I want to say. Benj cut stock.
One thing I want to wrap up with is, and I'm going to. Again, I'm going to clip this because I need to express my feelings. Um A couple of summers ago. We had a tailgate. For the podcast.
And The Apple Weather App. Showed me days of 75, 75, 75. A hundred and five. And I start freaking out. You don't want to have a tailgate in that kind of weather.
The local Mets Meteorologist. Told me not to look at the weather app on Apple, that it's garbage. and that it is unreliable. This week, the Apple Weather app started showing. 17 to 23 inches of snow this weekend.
And the meteorologist in tandem. told us not to look at The Apple Weather app. We look at the Apple Weather app. I'll tell you why, because it's easy and it's not littered with ads. We know that you probably produce a better forecast than the Apple Weather app, and you want us to go to your station's app, but it is littered with advertisements.
It is very clunky. It never is smooth. I've never seen one station produce an app that is any. like smoothness to it. The you F I User interface, different letters, is garbage.
So they're telling us not to worry.
Well, look at what this local meteorologist in Green Bay just put out. We are due in Wisconsin for 18 to 24 inches, and the lowest amount that anyone's gonna get in most of the state is in that five to eight inch range.
So you told us not to trust the Apple Weather app. Because it's not reliable.
Now you're getting your forecast and you're able to tell us the thing that Apple was telling us three days ago. It's like if I was a sports broadcaster, which I sort of am, and said, who do you think is going to win the Super Bowl? And I said, no, I don't want to predict it yet. It's out too far. If you know who it's going to be, just tell us.
It's okay if the Apple Weather app is right. You have to trust. Where are your people going? We love the Apple Weather app.
So, when we tell you what's going on, tell us why it's saying that. Don't just dismiss it completely because we've been prepping, thank God, for 18 to 24 inches this weekend. And now you're finally saying, Oh, okay, well, be careful. You know, get your shovels back out. We've been trying to do that all week, you've been telling us not to.
Long live the Apple Weather app. Fuck yeah. Round of applause for that one. Long live any product that has to do with Apple, because since I've been. It's the only thing keeping us, the Horvots, in business, and my betting because my wife is employed by Apple.
I. Here in the DMV, yesterday was 85 degrees. I had shorts on and a t-shirt. Today, I woke up, it was 62, then it started to rain.
Now we have a snowstorm. In two hours, it's going to be 60 degrees with the sun out. Isn't that crazy? World's ending. 75 here on Monday.
World's ending. We'll add two, but For multiple reasons. One of them being Romeo Dobbs not being brought back. Uh the other is the files and the war. 414-799-1250.
Are you okay with Romeo Dobbs moving on? What would you rather have end? The Brewers losing streak or World War III? Four by four. Yeah.
If I were on the radio, I would be ripping goot every single day, though. None of these first-round draft picks ever work out. Who's your favorite Packer first-round draft pick? Don't answer that because there are a couple. Who do you like?
Like, you know what I mean? None of these guys are hitting lately. Mine is, uh well, mine's Justin Harrell. I gotta go with him. I think this should be a big year for Goot.
I think the Packers have to win a Super Bowl in the next two years, or him and LaFleur should both be attached to each other. Yeah. Do you think they like each other? Yeah, I do. I think there's probably like.
I think like Goot probably watches the games and is like, man. LaFleur is such a bitch. He's getting out coached again. And then he watches the pressers and he sees him crying. He's probably like, You fucking sissy.
And I think LaFleur probably sees some of these draft picks and these moves, and he's like, you idiot. We had Aaron Rodgers, you know? Mm-hmm. I think Goot has practiced in his mirror a hundred times. The speech to tell off LeFleur, and then he's too much of a pussy to fucking do it anyway.
Maybe. I can't be hard on Goot because he went to lacrosse.
Sorry. You could still be hard on them. No, those are the rules. George Miken went to St. Mary Nativity, and I still make fun of the way that he shot free throws.
I think Michael Jordan shoots weird. Jordan? No. And he shoots like. No, he's got a perfect jumper.
I was taught to shoot like this. That's probably why. You shot like fucking uh John Stockton had an ugly ass jumper. Remember that thing? It was like a.
He likes, you're supposed to keep your elbow in and wave goodbye to the ball. I like this. My son's got a nice jumper, but he's using two hands. I tell him, like, You gotta like The girls shoot with two hands. I shoot like I'm swatting a bee.
I'm like. Ooh. Get out of here, ball. I just shoot hook shots nowadays. That's my game at LA Fitness.
I just fucking. Yeah. Floaters and hookers. I'm just kind of a dunk guy right now. Yeah.
Never tell you about the time. I. I was shooting outside. My dorm just by myself. Yeah.
And some guy goes up to me, he goes. He's like a six foot five guy. Looked like he'd be on the basketball team. And he goes, Hey man, you want to play horse? I go.
Not really. I'm pretty bad. He goes, come on, let's just play horse. You beat him. He lets me shoot, I miss.
Then he goes, all right, my turn. He does like a windmill 360 dunk. And I'm like, what are you doing? The dick move? He's like, again, I can't assume.
Mike It's okay to assume. He's like, I'm like, I assumed that you could do that. Yeah. Well, you can assume that I can't. Warm luck.
One final statement from me before I go pick up my son, highlight of my day here down the street from school at the bus stop. You need to get back into your studio because it looks like you're doing a podcast, a broadcast from a Living facility. This is the same chair I use when I talk to my therapist on Zoom. Like, it looks like we're going to say goodbye to grandma. Not sure.
I could have been on a walk this whole time. Yeah. There you go. While I pick up my son, I'm going to drop a take. On Trent McDuffie and how the Rams are going to win the Super Bowl.
