Now. On with the show. Yeah. Yeah. Bonnie Freeman has ended it!
This is the Rich Eisen Show. This game is incredible. From the Rich Eisen Show studio in Los Angeles, Kelsey ties Priest Holmes earlier on the show. Sports NFL analyst Mark Schleriff, ESPN MFL. columnist bust Giroldi.
Coming. Host of the Paul Feinbaum Show, Paul Feinbaum. And now, it's Rich Eisen. Hour number three of the Rich Hohenzo is on the air. Buster Olmey just left our studio.
He's going back to Dodger Stadium where I believe he he set up a residency, just like Adele in Las Vegas, right? I thought he was going to take a nap. I mean, that man needs a nap. He autographed his scorecard from last night's game, which literally looks like it was found in the ancient pyramids of Egypt. Uh, it's unbelievable.
It was a great chat with him, and we also uh had a great hour one chat with Mark Schlerith of Fox Sports. But let's get to our next guest right now because he's on the air for his own show at the top of the hour on every day from 3 to 7 Eastern Time. Paul Feinbaum of the Paul Feinbaum Show, kind enough to come back here sitting on his set. Good to see you, Paul. How are you, sir?
Rich, doing great. Thank you. I'm pleased to have you here. I really just want to pick your brain on what happened with Brian Kelly at LSU, and I give you the floor on. on filling in why why he got bounced this past weekend.
Ultimately, he failed to meet expectations. Have you ever heard that in a firing? But mostly, he not only lost. His locker room, but he lost the entire fan base. And it went so quickly and so dramatically.
I mean, they were actually ahead in that game in the second quarter. The third and fourth quarters against Texas AM, the number three team in the country, were a complete and total disaster. And when the fans start cheering, fire Kelly in the fourth quarter instead of cheering for your team. I think a lot of people took note, namely the governor of Louisiana.
Now, Rich, don't be shocked when I tell you the politics and football mix pretty widely in the South. The governor put out a tweet after the game saying, I don't know why the Board of Trustees decided to raise ticket prices after watching this game. And that set off a snowball that ended up with Kelly being fired. They're still negotiating his $54 million buyout.
Well, can you explain to folks why buyouts for him, James Franklin? Others that I'm sure we're not talking about because the coaches aren't. In danger of being fired or threatening to leave. Why are buyouts so massively, absurdly large? That's easy to answer.
There's the three biggest buyouts in history where Jimbo Fisher at $76 million, Texas AM, Franklin, and Brian Kelly. I'm not trying to turn this into a final Jeopardy question, but who is Jimmy Sexton is the answer to the question, the agent of all three. And Jimmy Sexton is this agent that started his business with one client, Reggie White, when he was a manager at the University of Tennessee in the 80s. He moved to Memphis and developed as close to a monopoly, not only pro football coaches, but college coaches, assistant coaches. And these ADs just get taken every time he walks into their office with another client.
And right now, he also represents Lane Kiffen.
So he's negotiating with Ole Miss about a new extension for Kiffin, even though he just got one, while he shops Kiffin around at Florida and LSU and literally any other school that has an opening.
So let me just take that and put a pin in what you just mentioned about Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss Paul Feinbaum here on the Rich Eisen show. An agent is obviously as talented as Jimmy Sexton is one thing, but you have to have a willing partner to say, absolutely, let's put that figure in a contract. Why do. programs Agree. Yeah.
Paul.
Well, because you have athletic directors who are good stewards of their program. They go to the volleyball games, they go to the basketball games, but they're no match for a guy who is employed by CAA, one of the biggest talent agencies in the world, and who is basically saying if you don't. Sign my guy to this deal. I'm taking him somewhere else. And that AD who looks down at his phone every five seconds to make sure what people are saying about him on social media says, okay, I can get that done.
Just like a week ago, Rich, in the Big Ten, you saw Kurt Signetti get this $94 million deal.
Now, most reasonable people think, okay, he's done an amazing job, but. Three or four years from now, just for the sake of argument, if things don't go well at Indiana, they're going to have to buy him out. But at the moment that these coaches get the deals, everybody is in favor of it.
So they agree to ridiculous buyouts. And then where you get the buyouts to even go up higher is when you get the extension, when the guy, when your guy may be going to Penn State or in this case, LSU, and the agent who is always Jimmy Sexton walks in. And let me correct myself. I actually included Kelly as a Jimmy Sexton client. He is not.
He's actually a Trace Armstrong client.
So I know I misspoke there, but the reason why I bring up Sexton is that Sexton started this chain of events. With with Jimbo Fisher.
So I'm glad I could before Jimmy Sixton and Trace Armstrong start calling you and saying I misrepresented them. No, I I know Trace. Trey used to be my agent when I was with CAA back in the day. I love Trace. He's one of the smartest guys in the business, to say the least.
And I think he represents what feels to me whenever I'm around him, everyone else in college football and also professional football at the coaching level.
So, but back to Lane Kiffin now. Why would he leave Olemis, right? And why, if you can build, for instance, a program like Signeti in Indiana. And you can be one of the 12 to get into a college football playoff from there. And you can be one of the 12 to get into college football playoff from Ole Miss.
Isn't that all you need, Paul, is to get to a spot? Where you can get into the college football playoff and be competitive enough to get the kids. either via portal or the old-fashioned way by sitting in a living room and saying you should come to my school. Paul? Exactly.
I don't mean to go back to what I just said a minute ago, but the mistake I made was that Scott Woodward, the athletic director, Rich, at LSU, who fired Kelly, was also the athletic director who fired Jimbo Fisher.
So a little confusing here with Mr. Buyout, right? Like he's setting records. But now to the matter at hand here, right? It's just that things have changed.
In a way. They have a lot of money. Lane Gippen's team is capable of winning the national championship. at Olmiss. But there's something about this allure of other schools for Lane Kiffen.
You know him well. He was the young one of the maybe the youngest head coach ever for Al Davis with the Raiders. He's already been the head coach at Southern Cal, where he was fired on the Taramac 12 years ago. And he just, I don't, while he has turned down a number of jobs to stay in Oxford. Which is one of the greatest college towns of all time, Rich.
I mean, there's nothing quite like going to a football game at the Grove where the white tablecloths and the china is more expensive than the buyout sometimes of the coach at the school. But I just sense that he looks at LSU, he looks at Florida, another opening, and he's just. A kid again, and he wants to try something new.
So that's why I think most of us look at Lane as somebody who could be a wanderer and could take one of those two jobs. Do you think, Paul Feinbaum, it behooves any of these athletic directors to shoot their shot and call Nick Saban at all, or that's just really fodder for for stuff like us to talk about. It's actually a very legitimate question for this reason. Nick Saban was the coach at LSU. He won the national championship there in 2003.
And Sabin left in 05 to go to the Dolphins. Wayne Huisinga offered him this deal. And in many ways, he always regretted it. While Alabama was where he made his mark, it was only six national championships. There was this gravitational pull about that rouge.
His family loved it. And it probably is the only place that could get a conversation with Nick Sabin.
So let's go ahead and finish this. What would it take to get Nick Sabin to leave the game day set, sitting next to McAfee every Saturday, to go to LSU? It would take more than he made at Alabama, which was about $10 or $11 million. But if they came up with a package, Rich, I think you could literally fill in the number. Do I think Staben would think about it for a minute?
Yes, I do. There's a lot of risk involved. His name is on the field at Alabama. He's already the greatest coach in college football history. And he did that at a school that previously had the greatest coach in college football history in Bear Bryant.
But He's also a competitor. How many times have you seen this in the NFL where some guy, well, we just saw it in college where Bill Belichick came back. Other coaches have come back out of retirement. Bud Wilkinson in the 70s, I think, was the great Oklahoma coach. He went to coach for the St.
Louis Cardinals. It ended badly, as most of these comebacks do. Bill Walsh came back. I think Nick Sabin, for an unbelievable amount of money, where he said, I just can't turn that down, could possibly, possibly at least engage in a conversation. And can I ask you to guess the trivia question of the day?
Who do you think is Nick Sabin's agent? The answer is Jimmy Sexton. All right. Lots of connective tissue. I know about the Sabin regretting LSU, and I read about it, I hear about it, I see the posts about it.
I look at that and I'm like, he Sure, he regrets leaving LSU, but I think he regrets that he left him for the Dolphins. You know, like he regrets going to the Dolphins maybe more than leaving LSU where, you know, there was a choice between Dante Culpeper and Breeze, and he chose the Culpeper door. You know what I mean? Like, that's the regret if I had to choose. Any of them.
Yeah, and Sabren's always blamed that on the sports medicine people who claim that Breeze wasn't going to qualify. But those stories don't matter anymore. But I mean, I. I don't think Nick Sabin would take it. Nick Sabin wouldn't talk to Penn State.
He wouldn't talk to Florida. But I think he would talk to LSU at least to see what they have to offer. And by the way, sometimes you can come back and make an offer that even a man who will be 74 years old. Uh on Friday night. Uh On Halloween, might consider.
I think it's worth thinking about. And I'm already hearing on our show down here in the South, Alabama fans saying, please tell me it's not true. Don't tell me that Nick Sagan's going to LSU. I'm already hearing from the Ohio State fans saying that the same thing about Urban may be showing up in Penn State. You know, like I'm already hearing stuff like that.
But what do you think in a few minutes I have left with Paul Feinbaum of the Paul Feinbaum show here on the Rich Eisen show? What do you think about Brian Kelly's future? One of my favorite posts was somebody putting Kelly's face over a surfer dude saying, This is what Kelly would sound like if he went to UCLA. You know, like that was one of my favorite posts I've seen over the last couple of days. But what do you think is his future?
Because you just plug him in in one of these other spots or is. or or the buyout conversations going on right now might preclude that. Paul.
Yeah, so Rich, when you get fired, usually your big name, which he is, you have two choices. You take another job, probably a lesser job, or you go into television.
Now, you tell me, you've been in television a long time. Can you see Brian Kelly in television? I can't. I think it would be a bad mix.
So I think now that he's going to get that buyout, he would probably consider another job. And I say this: I know Brian Kelly very well. He used to, until this week, he did our show every Monday. It was a regular gig. He's a smart guy.
He's analytical. He just went to the wrong place. And he went there after when he was at Notre Dame. He said, I'm leaving Notre Dame to go to Baton Rouge to win a national championship. He never got close, and Notre Dame came very close last year.
Yeah, so I guess to finish up, what do you think is the most attractive gig? Is it L S U? And if so, then what do you think is second? Best part. Yeah.
I think right now of the openings, and there'll be more this weekend. I can promise you that. I think so, huh? Yeah, it's LSU. The history there, the tradition.
I mean, three coaches in a row won national championships. Sahiban. Les Miles and Ed Oseron. The last two I mentioned are not going to be in the College Football Hall of Fame.
So you can win there. Florida is a sleeping giant. They've had two great coaches, Spurrier and Urban Meyer, and the last four coaches have been fired.
So the expectations there are not nearly as high as Baton Rouge. I think it's LSU, Florida, and Penn State right now in that order. Paul, thanks for the time. Have a great show. And we'll do this again shortly, if you don't mind.
My bad. All the best. Thank you, Richard.
Now I owe you the back end of the home and home.
Okay. Thank you. Anytime, Paul. Thanks again. That's Paul Feinbaum, everybody.
Check him out. Uh on the Paul Feinbaum show on the Disney family of networks and radio as well. 844-204 Rich, number to Dodd. Listen, you know what I said about Nick Sabin. The guy wins.
Every weekend. He is out of the coaching mix. He is out of the NIL mix. He is out of the portal mix. He is out.
going to of the mix of going to uh high school gyms and beat in the bushes Remember that he was show up he was showing up to basketball. Courts and basketball arenas to talk to kids who play both sports.
So you can come to Alabama. You know, and then he was starting to talk about how the The world was changing. And remember Jimbo Fisher, whose name is now Still. Mentioned whenever a massive buyout is talked about, because his is bigger than everyone else's. Remember he was talking about how Jimbo was buying players and was apologizing for it?
'Cause Jimbo went nuts at the SEC Media Day. And I think that was the year in which he wound up putting the Christmas tree on his front lawn. After he got bounced. Um He's out of that mix. And He's not out of the mix of college football though.
He gets to go to all of these campuses. Check out the pageantry. Enjoy the love from all of these. 18 to 21, 22 year olds that show up to Get the shot of winning a lot, win Pat's money, you know, and and yeah, once a coach, I know that I've been around Mariuchi. who whenever I'm around him it's been a while since I've been around him at a stadium.
He would put his hands on his knees, standing on the sideline, go up to the refs and chit-chat. Once a coach, always a coach. But if you can get that fix by going to the stadiums and going to the games. and winning every week on a red hot television show. That's enough.
Unless LSU calls him up and says Have we got a package for you? I don't think it will happen. Interesting. I don't know either. I don't know the man.
I can only assume he's 74. He's been there. He's done that. What's he going to do? He's already won the title there.
It's not like he goes back to try and win something he didn't do there. Like the spot for him to go for that. If he really wants to go back to school and do something that he didn't do at the school, it would be Michigan State.
Well, I don't think that's what he's gonna do. The job's not open. At present, both But It just makes he wins. Every weekend, he is undefeated showing up on college game day. In your eyes.
Maybe he doesn't win every weekend in his own eyes.
Well, back on October 24th, he was on Pat's show and he said, quote, I want to stay retired. I'm not interested. That is, please, someone make me an offer. You know what? And everyone says that, too, right?
I mean, I didn't even ask. Paul about Sark. You know, maybe the next time, because I don't think that story is going away. Everybody thinks Steve Sarkeesian saying, you know. Hey, I understand you all have a job to be.
Whenever uh a coach or say you know, looks at the media and says, You guys, you all, but I have respect what you do. That's a with all due respect just He doesn't say with all due respect, you guys stink. He calls y'all you guys or you folks. Paint everybody in the media with this broad brush that we're all trolling for clicks, every last one of us. That's another way of saying, with all due respect.
before saying something completely disrespectful, or in the case of a coach, Trap covering. Track coverage. Right? I mean, when the Penn State job opened and Matt Ruhl showed up, I believe, on Pat's show wearing all the Nebraska stuff. And Talking about how he loves the job that he's got, and all I'm thinking about is my team right now.
You always hear right now. You hear that stuff, okay, and you're like, oh, okay, you hear the magic words right now because we're all. ready for the dotted line if the money's right.
So, yeah, you offer Nick Saban more money than. Then he would expect for a coaching gig. Maybe he starts reconsidering this. I don't See it. Because again, it's not like he doesn't get the fix of going to college football games.
or the campuses. and being and taking in that good stuff and the all the other stuff. Leave that to DeBoer. Leave that. Like, I win every week.
You know? I I don't know, I haven't spoken to college game day people. I don't know if Miss Terry um is there every week if they're maybe enjoying that part of their You know, years and dotage and whatever, then why the hell would he want to say, Oh, I'll go back into this? LSU mosh pit, raise my blood pressure, go back into this world that has totally changed. He has the right agent for it, apparently.

TV cameras showed him. Uh he's a Diehard Dodger fan. And I'm just wondering, like... Did Sean Hayes get the invite? over Will Arnett because it's just two seats.
Because we'll own that Is a Blue Jay fan. And I'm like So It's Yankees Red Sox, Chris. You have the two seats. I'm not inviting you. Of course, and I wouldn't expect you to.
Why would you want to invite somebody? to your seat, your plus one. to a playoff game for your team. To root against your team that you're there to root for. Why would you do that?
That's absurd. Why would you do that? I'm gonna tell you this. If my friend Had a seat to a World Series game or a Super Bowl or whatever. I guess Super Bowl is different, right?
Because it's not your stadium, but like. Yeah, if the Bears and the Cowboys are playing at Soldier Field or whatever the new stadium is to go to. You would expect Ashton to invite you? Oh, yeah. No, I wouldn't.
And he would. He would? Why? Yeah. Yes, really.
That would have similar rooting interests as he does for this game, that he could invite. You'd expect the invitation for you to go root for the Cowboys against the Bears in Soldier Field. For a do-or-die playoff game, the Bears haven't done a damn thing since Jay Cutler was on a bike, you know, before he started strolling down Rodeo Drive after his knee injury. He would absolutely take me. But This man once rooted for what Caleb Haney in a playoff game.
I think it's caped up, mask, everything, Cowboys. You know how long me and this, you know, this man, our friendship started with him sitting next to me at a booth at a bar with a bear's hat. And I go, Walter Payton, second best running back ever, huh? And he's like, what are you talking about? That is so not even in the same realm as a championship.
What I'm saying is, yes, we live together. I know his rooting interests. He knows mine. He just texted me five minutes ago. I could call him back and ask him.
Now you need to get him on the horn. or text him or whatever. If The Fairs played the Cowboys in Soldier Field and you had two tickets to the game. Would you take me as your plus one? All right.
No way. I would never expect you to invite me to a Yankee Red South. No, and vice versa. I wouldn't expect it, yeah, either. Yankee Dodger World Series, if you took me on the mode remediation tickets, you know?
I would never expect you to say, yeah, you know what? You come to the game. Nor would I maybe even want to go with you. Then it's not because I don't want to spend time with you. I'm rooting against you.
Right. What if you put stipulations on it, too? Like, hey, I got an extra ticket. You can come, but you've got to wear a Red Sox hat.
Okay. That's why I'm not going tonight. Why? My wife and her cousin are going. My wife.
My wife. They're Jays fans. And I was like, you guys have fun. I don't I'm I'm good. I don't wanna sit with you guys.
I don't blame you. Yeah. I can't believe you'd expect to be the plus one. I wouldn't expect it, but it would happen. It would happen.
And he wouldn't put any like, hey, you can't wear the cape or the mask or anything. Just like, keep it chill. Just not share up like nacho Libre. You know? That's my man, bro.
Like, that's my guy. What are we doing? NFC Championship game, soldier feel. This guy. Yeah.
No way. No way am I inviting you.
Well, not you, because you're not him, and that's not our friendship. Like. Damn. Yeah. I can't wait for this response.
I'd call him, but he's serving up school. He's serving school lunches right now. Oh, okay.
So he can't answer. Father of the year, Ashton Kutcher. Friend of the year. I'm just saying, good for you guys. Weirdos.
Weirdos. I want to go with a fellow rooting instruction. We have to do that. I may not blame you. My friendships are different than your friendships, I guess.
I don't think you care as much about your teams as we do.
Now we're drilling down to the mini and the gritty. Why are you doing that?
Well, you know that's not true. Clearly it isn't. Because you'd want to sit there and just go, oh, okay. Why would you want to sit with a bear fan in enemy territory? Do you know how many.
Football games between the Bears and the Cowboys that he and I have sat next to each other on the Kevin. I mean, at the game, with the stakes on. You guys don't have good friends in your life. That's just clear to me. I mean, you haven't seen a Cowboy NFC championship game since you were dreaming of that job at Foot Locker.
Yeah. You know what I mean? So, what's your point?
So, it's now finally happening. It's now finally happening. You want to sit next to a Bears fan that could prevent you from going to the Super Bowl? Yes. No way.
No way. You guys, like I said, I questioned it. Is it a northeast thing? Is it from the northeast show? Uh-oh.
He's from an east coast state. Whatever, like I said. You guys know what's going on. This is from the westernmost part. The central westernmost part.
It's a northeast thing. Is it? Because you're he's he's a Southern California guy right over here. And he won't even go with his wife tonight. I don't want that car ride home.
Stuck in traffic? That's bad enough just at the bar last night. Yeah, win or lose, that's bad for you. Jeez. I love this conversation.
This may be one of my most favorite conversations. Feel free, guys, is all I'm saying. All right, let's, everybody, stay on home. We're going to take some phone calls. It's over Reaction Monday on a Tuesday.
Hit it. That was terrible. That was the crap. That was the garbage. This place sucks.
Overreaction. Mondays. Mondays. On a Tuesday. All right, Christopher, what do you have over there?
What's up, everybody? You guys good? What's up, Chris? All rested? I have TJs all rested.
A couple Chiefs ones, and then I got some other sports.
Okay. Watching the game last night, had the two TVs going with the World Series and the football game. Chiefs dominated. Like you said, they're all the way back. And I think we kind of need to resign ourselves to the fact that when it's all said and done, the Chiefs are going to be the one seed in the AFC again.
I don't know, man. The cults are pretty damn good. Yeah, but if they played tomorrow you'd pick the Chiefs to win. Like they look like the best team in the NFL. Yes, because I picked them to win the Super Bowl.
I don't know about that. Yeah, but that was before you watched him play for the first month. I don't know about that. Of late. They look like the best team.
India, I'm going to have to put my choice in for a week 12 NFL game day morning as to who's winning. The um The Colts or the Chiefs, and I might choose the Chiefs just because it is an arrowhead, but. If this game's in Indianapolis. I don't know, man. Although Alex Smith.
Did have a big lead in Indianapolis that one time before Andrew Luck had that massive comeback. Remember that when he reached the crew and he slammed dunking going on. That was a great game. Luck, man. He was so good.
I don't know. I'll call this an overreaction for the moment. The. Colts look so damn good. Yeah, but Rich.
I know, yeah, but they're two in front of the Chiefs right now. Even if the Chiefs win that game, there'll still be a game behind the Colts. That's fine, but when it comes to the playoffs and you got a guy, it's the one seed. That's not the question about who's making the Super Bowl. The question is: who's the one seed in the American Football Conference?
True, okay. And so I'll just call this an overreaction for the moment.
Now we're talking about Chiefs winning the Super Bowl.
Well, they're the betting favorites. That would just show you that I was right going into the season, and so are you, TJ. See, we could sit at the Super Bowl together in that room. Yeah, but here's the difference. You wouldn't take me with your plus one.
Why would you say that? Because you wouldn't. Uh Jeez. This guy. We've never gone to anything together.
So, why would you now say, all right. Cowboys, Chiefs, you got to take them, Dale? Of course I would. There you go. He says, of course, he would, because that's not going to happen ever.
I don't know why they want it. It's taken me the Cowboys go into the Super Bowl. I'm willing to say right now: if the Cowboys make the Super Bowl, I will definitely make sure you're there. Boom. Yeah, look at him.
He just bit his lip. You see, I'm like, no, make sure you're there. I don't know if it's with me. I'll send you an Ashton. I'll bet.
Now, I'm going to hold you to that when we go to the Super Bowl next year. Just don't call Burt Chrysler's ticket guy. Or it's $150,000. Nice. All right, so last year, you know, we're watching the game, watching the Super Bowl.
Travis Kelsey, you know, he probably should just retire, right? Go into the Hall of Fame with his brother. You thought that would be pretty awesome. I don't think I was alone in thinking that. And then you watch him early in the year.
Yeah, I don't want to say the W word, but he looked a little slow, right? Last night. All the way back, best game of the season. Travis Kelsey looks phenomenal. Yeah.
And this year is not going to be his last. I hope not. In KC. Oh, man. That would be awesome.
That would be great. There was no way he wasn't going to ball out on tight end week game. Oh, his tight end touchdown. His TD prop was an absolute lock. I figured it out.
I got the inside. That was the easiest money right there, right? He knew they were going to get him in his head. Him and Kittle.
Well, this is the end of his contract.
So You'd have to... Re-up. No. Yeah. I went really good last night.
I would love it. That's something to think about. You know. That would be great. And again, you know, I've Walking around Hyde Park, I listened to the entire Taylor Swift.
New album, and it's fantastic.
So, if he's in any way, shape, or form amused, I think it would be a match made in heaven.
Well, one song in particular. I heard about that and I listened to that song. And there were a lot of trees around in Hyde Park. Also, I want to point out: you checked out this aircraft lately? He got the fade back.
Oh, he's got it all working. Kelsey fades back? I'm pretty sure. I was looking at his dog video. It looked new, and the fades back.
So that's old trap. Killer Travis. That's Killer Travis. Killer Travis. I'm so happy for that guy, man.
He's just truly one of my favorites. Great, great to see you.
So I hope this is right, and let's hope it's right. Look at you with a feel-good overreaction Monday on a Tuesday. He didn't mean for it to be that. I understand that. I didn't get a lot of sleep last night.
You know, when somebody really aggressively pushes back on something or like an idea about it means, you know what, you know what that means to me? It means that there's probably some truth to it. And I think Steve Sarkesh is going to be coaching in the NFL next year. Oh. Mm-mm-mm.
Mm. Wow. Uh uh I know for sure. Let's put it this way. We know there's going to be what, five to eight opening on it.
There always is. I would say this. That if I I'm the owner of a team. with a young quarterback. I would reach out to him and say, you want to be that guy.
That rhymes with warm marred. I don't know what Jam Martin. Oh, that was.
Well, I mean, that was where I think that was accurate. I'm like, wait a minute, who's the bard? Shakespeare? Wham board? Bam card?
Sham Wow? Leave that stuff to me. It's been a while since I've been riding.
Well, that was the job that he's rumored to be interested in. But again, that organization is changing. Coach is changing front off. Like, I would need a lot of guarantees. To leave Texas for that.
Well, here's the thing: this year, Texas, it hasn't gone as everyone kind of hoped and planned, right?
Well, I mean, listen, and would I, as an owner, have paused that Arch hasn't looked as great as he has, or just say he's bringing a kid along? Whatever. He is definitely...
somebody that I would call to be interested in. And when the number of times that somebody is so vehement and pushing back, it's like, okay. He likes being so aggressive. But neither, neither, if he, if he just, if he just said, oh, that's just a silly report. Oh, he's there's something there.
Yeah, and then he pushed back strong. Oh, there's something there. He can't win for losing on this front. I guess.
So I'll call this an overreaction, but. Wouldn't be surprised. How does that sound? It's only been a handful of a week of the NBA season, a handful of games for this guy. Jimmy Wemby.
When he started the year, he was 12-1 for MBA. Jimmy Wemby. And now he's 3-1 for the menu. Give me all of the Wemby. This is Lijay Edgecombe.
Give me all of the Wemby. He's doing good. Jalen Brown also cutting his hair live tonight on Twitch. I love the Wemby. There isn't.
I'm not even looking at the screen. I don't know what you're going to say. but there isn't something that would be on this screen. That to me is an overreaction. Also, unless it's like he's going to be in a living contest.
You know what I mean? But if it's had anything to do with basketball. Proper reaction, move on. I am so in on Victor Wembanyama right now. What is it?
We haven't had a quadruple-double in the NBA since 1994. Yes. He's not only going to get one, he's going to get multiple this year and win MVP.
Okay. Not a not an overreaction. Question. All of it. I want all of it.
Turnovers count. No, I'm talking points, rebounds, assist blocks. Blocks. I'm just saying handles the rock. Great.
A coin tuple, though. All of it. All of it. All of it, there isn't a single thing that you could have said to me that I'm like, ah, that's a little musty. You know what this guy did with the spin move?
I did. It was insane. Come on, man. Behind his back. He was like hot sauce.
This is like, this is an M1 mixtape. He's stealing it. This league is in trouble. Trouble. Remember when Ronnie 2K was here and he was like, yo.
Yeah. You can't even design a player in our game like Wemby. He's going to break our game. He is the video game. Yeah.
Remember we started watching Hollington him when he was 16 and we were like, oh my goodness. Give me a Wembunyama. Look at his arm in that. It's almost at the top of the backboard. That's incorrect.
That's correct. I'm sorry. You know how many certain cities aren't dead, like. Destinate free agent destinations, Milwaukee, Cleveland. If I'm a free agent in the NBA, I am moving to San Antonio.
Well, I mean, DeAaron Fox has got to be like, this is the greatest thing of all time. Are you kidding me? Steph Kepper, all of them, they're 4-0. Chris, they're great. Give it all to me.
Hopefully, they're undefeated next week's overreaction money on a Tuesday, so you could start throwing out there. They're going to go undefeated for the first half of the season, and I'd even agree to that. 73 wins. Oh, yeah. What if they go 80 and 2?
Trop. There's not a thing that you could say to me that I'm not at this point in time because I'm so head over heels all in. There is one I said earlier: like, could he win a limbo contest? But even so, he might be able to. Maybe.
No. A couple of baseball to finish this up. Look, John Schneider, I'm with him. And he's true to his word. Otani should never see another pitch in this series.
Just every at bat just put him on base? Yeah. The only pitches he sees are the ones he throws. Exactly. Understood.
All right. The pitch coming back from Will Smith after he threw it any case. I just want to see if he's intentionally walked to start a game. The Dodgers, it's basically the Dodgers get a ghostrunner in the first inning. Right.
The Ghostrunner's back, and it's on first, and its name's Otani to start the game. You get a Ghostrunner to start the game. Los Angeles. I can't wait to see if we get that tonight. Bladder the first game starting.
She's coming out the dugout. And the Empire just goes. Don't waste your time. Before you even hear one note from Michael Boudlet. And I'm Phoebe.
He's on. And I'm for you to lose it. That's the mess of the picture's head. No, don't put it. No, that way.
Just that way. What's your last one? We got it. It's all right. Don't worry.
Oh, it's okay. All right, we'll get one more. Speaking of ghostrunners, Rich, I was talking to an MLB source last night. Oh, you personally? Jeez.
They were saying that uh last night's game Not a big fan of last night's game at the Major League Basic. Playoffs, it's coming. NLB is going to add a ghost runner for playoffs after the 12th inning. After the 12th inning? For next year.
All right. Alright, I'll buy it. League Office not a fan of these long games. I'm not either. Right, what else they got done?
Well, it's not that, though. I mean, honestly, we had a caller from Toronto being up till 3 in the morning. You know. If you're going to start these games at 8 Eastern Time, honestly, I say this to. To the kids, all the time in the household, whenever we're watching a game, like you are lucky to live on the left coast.
Yeah, man. You are. I mean, you're a Toronto Blue Jay fan. You're living in Toronto. You're like an eight-year-old, nine-year-old, ten-year-old.
You want these memories for the rest of your life? If you're Major League Baseball for those kids and instead, they're asleep. Hey, what happened last night, mom and dad? Guess what? Good thing you went to bed because Freddie Freeman's giving you nightmares.
Yeah, but an eight-year-old would be in bed anyway by the ninth inning.
So, yeah. I don't know. Not an overreaction, and I hate the Ghost Runner. Me too. Good stuff.
That's Overreaction Monday on a Tuesday. Back to wrap up the show. Your phone calls in a moment. The Rich Eisen Show, the podcast. Back here on the Rich Eisen Show Radio Network.
Our friends at Progressive ESPN Radio is brought to you by Progressive Insurance. Also, I want to tell you about the Hyundai Hope on Wheels campaign. We love talking about it. I don't know if any of you folks knew out there that for the last 27 years, every Hyundai sold has helped fund life-saving pediatric cancer research through the Hyundai Hope on Wheels campaign. Together with over 850 dealers nationwide, they've raised more than $277 million, supporting over 25,000 kids in their fight against cancer.
Visit hyundaiusa.com and search Hyundai Hope on Wheels to learn more. And Hyundai Hope is an optional, it comes Standard. Bernard in Dallas, Texas, been hanging on forever. What's up, Bernard? Hey Rich, uh good talking to you.
I um I had an idea of what of what baseball should do. in order to prevent something like yesterday happening because walking autony is a crime. Otani should be able to Um I mean, I love watching the guy. You know, I'm not a Dodgers fan, Rangers fan. I hated him against playing for the Rangers against us.
Yep. But. I want to watch them because it must be TV.
So my idea was If a player gets walked a second time during a game, not intentionally walked, but walks. They should be able to take two bases. If they get walked the third time, they take three bases and everybody else goes forward. And I think that will prevent. Uh intentional walking.
It's gonna um To Bob Bustraone had said, you know, there's nothing baseball can do. Yes, there is. They can incentivize the pitchers to attack the strike zone. and for the batteries to Be a little bit more cautious that maybe walking becomes a good thing. I hear you, Bernard, but if a pitcher doesn't have the control, suddenly somebody hits a double because they've been walked a second time.
And I just don't think there's anything that can be done about it. Because as I mentioned in In hour one, and thanks for the call, Bernard. You know, um That maybe you can only intentionally walk somebody two or three times and buster on. He's like, Yeah, but.
So the pitch will just throw four bad pitches and make it look like he's trying to pitch, and it's just an. intentional walk that looks unintentional.
Alright, and that's the end of that. Colby in Georgia. You're on the Rich Islands Show. What's up, Colby? Mm-hmm.
Uh oh. Colby, you there? Colby? You there? Hello?
Sounds like there's a kid around. Yeah, he said hello. Yeah, what's up, Colby? I was How you doing? Hi, what's on your mind?
What's going on? On site.
So Uh I just wanted to say, last time I called you. I find it I'm I'm home school. I wasn't in school when I called you.
Okay. Um, I don't I I don't want to say low. I I think that the Miami dolphins should probably I mean, I do that they should fire the head coach, honestly. I thought it's not working. out for him.
I think they should just Even though we won against the Falcons, and I was at that game, and I was... And it was super fun, but I think that they should just fire the headcount. Why? Why, Kobe? Why?
Nice. Clung. He's just not working out for them. I just feel like, I mean, he's definitely a good coach. But I just don't think that he's going to be doing good.
How old are you again? I don't think that he's in a good long-term situation at all. How old are you again, Colby? I'm Port Jameson.
So it doesn't matter what we just saw. They played their best game of the year. Maybe they can turn things around. You think they should just bounce him anyway? I think we sh honestly and this season doesn't Like Maybe if we can Light.
Not unless they make the playoffs, but I don't think that we can. All right, well, here's the scoop, Colby, because we're at the end of our show. You need to call back Friday, okay? Call back Friday. We'll take your call then because that's the next.
day after which The Dolphins play, and they've got the Ravens, and they've got Lamar Jackson. They win that one, maybe Colby and Georgia will change his tune. Thank you for the call. All right. Even McDaniel's probably sitting there going, even a homeschooled 14-year-old's family five.
What can I do? We just had the best game of the year. What the heck? Thanks for listening to the Rich Eisen Show Podcast. You can watch and listen to the Rich Eisen Show live weekdays from noon to 3 Eastern on ESPN Radio, Disney Plus, and on the ESPN app.
