 What's up everybody? Gabri, we're back. We went on a vacation, went away from you guys for a little bit, but now we're here to talk. Some fun things that have happened to us, have happened to you guys, and have happened literally everywhere and everything. So literally everywhere. We've got a lot to recap on. We've got a lot to talk about in the future, because after this, we're off for another three weeks, going on summer break, and we'll be back for pre-season games. We'll be back for some NFL. A lot to get in, a lot to get in this week. So let's just dive right in. Where shall we begin, Gab? Well, we went to Seattle. That was fun. We sure did. That was pretty fun. That was one of my favorite trips I've been on for work ever. We saw some cool shit, met some cool people, got some cool content. We saw a show, hey, oh, Tony, like four times. That was great. I still haven't fully recovered from that experience. That just one portion of the whole trip. It's still, every time, I was watching the end of the Angels Yankee game last night, and I was like, oh, my friend's so lame. Yeah, there's just a few athletes I'd be like, starstruck over. Shohei Otani is on that list. LeBron James is on that list. Yeah, Tom Brady. Richard Jefferson was on that list for a minute. Anybody on 2016 Cavs, that's it. Yeah, that's about my list. Josh Naylor, I've never met Josh Naylor. I'd put him on that level too, because I love that man. Yeah, that's about it. I mean, we had a good time. It was your first time to Seattle too, right? It was the first for the both of us. Pretty cool city. I kind of, I low key wish we had more time to do it more legit exploring. But I feel like for the amount of time we were there and the amount of work that we really had to do while we were there, we still did a decent amount of walking around and seeing everything. Oh, we did walking for sure. Oh, my God. Okay, so I calculated, I added up every day that we were there. We walked 16 miles in four days. That's nice. It was good press, it was good press. Yeah, the first day I had 28,000 steps, I said, I don't know, that's possible, but. Yeah, lots of hills too. Nobody kind of told us that Seattle was like very hilly, like almost San Francisco type hills, which definitely made the walking part of the trip a little bit more interesting going up and down, but we survived somehow. We made it. Yeah, we ate some bugs too. Guys, I did, I ate some grasshoppers. So I've seen people post about the grasshoppers there for a very long time and everyone said they taste really good and I tried them and they were not bad. They were not how anyone described them. Everyone's like, oh, they taste like chicken. They do not taste like chicken. They didn't taste like chicken. They were like extra, really crunchy, spicy raisins. That's how I described them. They smelled, they literally smelled like a pack of raisins. Yeah, I think seeing people say like the sunflower seeds probably was the closest con. Yeah, I didn't try them though. They smelled a little better than a sunflower seed. Like I can't even, I can't talk because I did not try. I almost actually threw up watching Gab do it while I was recording. I took a shot of them, kind of. She took the shot and there was one that like kind of fell out and it was right here. I was like, no. Yeah, it was like stuck on my lip gloss. Oh yeah, that's great. But, no, but it was good. Did you see what else they were, like they had like the little things of their grasshoppers when they also had like nachos, but they were the grasshoppers with like salsa guac and like Oh, I would have done that, yeah. On them, ooh. I would have, for sure I would have done that. I don't know about that. Whatever, I thought they were good. Good for you, good. I mean, good for you for having the stones to try, but not me. Um, we also made a friendly wager on our Home Run Derby picks. Neither of us won. Neither of us won, neither, like I did not even come close. I picked Mookie Betts and like I'm gonna love Mookie Betts for the rest of my life for his time with the Red Sox and he was like pretty down on himself going into that. So I'm like, all right, I'm gonna root for him. I'm gonna, I believe he can do this. If he doesn't think he can do it, I believe he can do it. And he said jokes on you, I was actually serious. Yeah, he was right. He's not a Home Run Derby guy as it turns out, but you know, he's good at everything else. So I felt confident. Yeah, I mean, we watched, we watched Julio break the record for most home runs around, which was crazy because it was at his home park and the whole place was going absolutely insane. That was really cool. Did you see that? They said they might do a future Home Run Derby that has retired players. Oh, hell yeah. I would love that. Hell yeah. Bring Ortiz in your back. Yeah, he was in the graphic. He was in the graphic. Jim Tomey was in the graphic. I can't remember who else. There was like three other people, but that'd be sick. See what Barry wants us to do. Our pool host was in it, but like he probably win because he's been, he just, he was hidden home runs last year, so. You gotta figure now that like Barry Bonds is retired and stuff. Do you think he's still juices just for fun? No. Maybe, maybe if there was the chance that he was gonna be involved in this, maybe he might start again. That'd be great. I would love that. They would have to like hit the ice bath immediately after that though. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. They're not doing anything with their arms for like two weeks. No, that's not happening. That'd be a great event. I would really like to see that. Yeah. It might be more entertaining than the regular one. Yeah. Well, I mean, I mean, the regular one's so entertaining, but I feel like those names, the nostalgia from it, everyone would hype it up. Yeah. And the regular one is entertaining when they have like a real solid lineup. Like I feel like this year, it wasn't horrible. No, it's great. It's great, but like. But some of the names. A lot of new names. Which is good because they were integrated. Yeah. But they were integrating new guys in that and don't normally do that stuff, which I like because they don't normally... Mark it very well for them. Right. So that was fine. That was cool. What else? What else? We found out a lot of players were Swifties, which is... A lot of players like Taylor Swift. Pretty cool. I feel like the Y's are big influences in that. Yeah, they're like, can you just say Taylor Swift for the video? Yeah. Yeah. Like Whit Maryfield's wife. She was. She was like, would it be Taylor Swift? And she was like, yeah. Yeah, come on. Yes, it would be. Yeah, Ozzy Alby's though. Not a Swiftie. Not a Swiftie. Not a Swiftie. Felt compelled to do him a solid and not expose that via Twitter. Right. The Swifties on Twitter will go crazy. Be mean. Yeah. So saying it here is fine because like whatever, but. It's a safe space. Yeah. This is a safe space for the non Swifties. So. But yeah, it really was. It was an awesome time. We'd love to go back to Seattle at some point. I mean, even if probably for a football game, next is gonna be on my list. But it seems like a really cool city. I enjoyed my first time. So that's that. And now we can talk football. Now we talk football. We can talk the most recent news. I will pump my tires a little bit and say, the announcement came exactly when I thought it was gonna happen a week-ish before training camp. The team. Gives them just enough time to pack the bags and get there. Yeah. Well, you say that, but then I think about it. And it's not necessarily the team that is surprising. There's actually, there's nothing about this as surprising. I knew exactly what he was doing. You knew exactly what he was doing. He said, I'm gonna get a bag who's ever gonna pay me a lot of money. I'm gonna show up. And the Titan said, about to yee-haw down on Broadway, pack your bags because. No, you're right. You're right. I knew, but I think I truly think everybody knew. Like it was going to be for the money. And I'm not gonna knock him for that because this is the first time he's ever been a free agent in his career. This is the first time he's ever had the option to pick where he plays and get a bag, really. So good for him. I don't think this does anything for the Titans though. I'm a little bummed that it wasn't New England, but I'm not gonna knock him for not taking a pay cut to play in New England and maybe make the playoffs, maybe not. Right, everyone's saying, oh, he's going for a rink. No, guys, he's not going for a rink. He said, you're gonna give me money. I'm gonna go there. And that's it. That's all we got. And I agree with you. I don't think it does nothing for me. Not saying it doesn't do anything for me. So the Titans are definitely better than they started. Not by much though. They're not that good. Like people are saying, oh, they're just removed from a number one seat a few years ago. That was probably the worst number one seat I've ever seen in the playoffs ever. Like they were really bad. They weren't very good. Yeah, I mean, it's the biggest thing with this whole situation was at the beginning, people are saying, oh, well, why would he want to go to the Pats and play with Mack Jones when he can go to Buffalo and play with Josh Allen or go to Kansas City and play with Patrick Holmes? Like I truly don't think it was ever, ever, ever about who's playing quarterback because he just signed up to play with Ryan Tannehill who last year, I mean, he played, what, five games and then got hurt and then got benched or something like that. And then maybe we'll have us now. Maybe Mollie, like what? The options there really aren't, if at all, better than the option in New England. So I don't want to hear any more about the quarterback thing. It was for the money. And that, again, that's totally fine. Am I a little annoyed that Bill Belichick did not spend, especially when you look at the spending spree he went on two seasons ago with some of the people that he paid then a little bit. But there is also the possibility that, and I don't think this because DeAndre Hopkins is one of my favorite players in the league. I truthfully do not think this is true, but devil's advocate, there's the possibility that he's a little washed now. And... Possibly. And it's like... He's better. Okay. He's washed, but he's probably better than every wide receiver on that team. But again. Yeah. Well, no, I'm not saying it wouldn't help, but I don't know if I want to pay that much for a guy that potentially has regressed. And I, again, personally, don't think that's the case, but just to make an argument in this conversation. I would have loved DeAndre Hopkins on Patriots. Like, I would have bought the jersey. I would have forced Mac Jones to change his number to give him 10. Like, I... Yeah, I think anybody would have liked DeAndre Hopkins on their team. Yeah. He was at the right price. The right price. Yeah, he was at the right price. So that wasn't a good price. A little too much, but... Definitely wasn't coming to Cleveland. I'll tell you that much. Also, I'm going to pause this really quick. I just want to say, like Josh Naylor is really quick. I've never seen anything like that. He just hit a three-run home run. And he's just fucking so good. He's so good. He's literally so good at baseball. And I get to watch it sometimes. Sometimes. That's all I got to say. Like, I love that man. Up there with Shohei Otani. Perfect. I almost put him in my deal again. I was going to do it. No, I was going to put him in my Dinger Tuesday thing, but in my mind, I said, if I do it, he's not going to hit a home run. And we're going to lose. So you're welcome. If you're a fan of The Guardian, you're so welcome, guys. I was going to put Naylor in there, and then I tinkered a little bit and fixed the financials and made it so I could have Ronald Acunha and Shohei in there. So like. Oh, that seems like a good time. You know, but watch like neither of them do anything and Naylor puts up like 30 something. Well, he already three-run, three-run home runs. Right. There we go. There we fucking go. Yeah, I skipped out on two because I said, I don't want to be the reason that you don't hit a home run. Yeah. He won me $225 yesterday, though. I saw your bet slip. Pretty fucking solid. Well, I said this pitcher is a rookie, like it's his first start. They're going to leave him out there. They're going to test him out. He sucked it up even more than I thought he was going to. Well, that was, that was mean because his first two endings were really, really good. They're pretty solid. But then the second time through, he got a little rattled. So, and then we won some money. And I did the exact same thing today. So, so far it's good. Love that. Love that. He won me $140 yesterday. Yeah, you could have bet on anything. Anyone on the team yesterday and you were making money. I looked at the score and I saw it was like seven-nothing, like in the fifth or sixth inning. Maybe I was like, holy shit. That was a great game to go to. Yeah. I had a Wiz Khalifa, Wiz throughout the opening test show. Did you see his sweets? He was on shrooms. I saw. On shrooms and they said, yeah, we'll put you out there. Go ahead. I saw. That's insane. One of our friends up here, this is like one of those like seven degrees of separation stories, but one of our friends here, their friends are his neighbors at his LA home. And like they say he's just like the coolest guy ever, like the best neighbor. They'll go outside and get the mail and he'll say like, hi neighbor. Like he seems like just such a great guy. Oh man, throw the first pitch on shrooms though. It was a solid pitch. Yeah, okay. So that's what I was gonna ask. Yes, it was good. He was fine. Good for him. I feel like he's been there before so. Yeah. I'm sure that this isn't the first time he's had to do anything on shrooms. That's like the easiest task actually. Yeah, probably. Good for him. What else about football? Running backs. Well, I was gonna say, can we go back to Hopkins for a second? Oh yeah. Let's go finish that up. Like we're saying, I don't think it's gonna improve them that much. I don't think that they're going to win their division. I don't think Ryan Tannehill has it in him. I don't think Mayo Mann has it in him. And Malik Willis probably not gonna be on the team. So I don't see it happening. Yeah. No. Jacksonville wins that division easily. I don't think that there's any argument to be made for. I've seen so many people though saying like, they're not in on Jacksonville. Like what part are you not in? I saw Trevor Lawrence play really, really well. I watched them have a comeback win in the playoffs. That was very impressive. What else do they mean? I don't know. I think he's gonna be fine. I mean, I can't think of anybody in that division who's even gonna come close to Jacksonville. You're gonna have what? Maybe three rookie quarterbacks playing maybe. Like, Tennessee? No, sorry. Like run defense is good. That's pretty much it. Pretty much. Houston? No. Indianapolis? Like... I mean, maybe they could do something, but probably not still. If Anthony Richards is gonna start though, like, I don't know. Like, there's no reason for me to sit here and try to make any argument for why Jacksonville might drop that division. Because I don't think there is, there's no might there. Like it's their division. It's their salute. They're gonna win it. They are gonna lose it on their own, if anything. Right. They're gonna come give them a run for their money. Like they are going to eff up. They're going to drop games that they shouldn't have and stuff like that. Like it's going to be completely their own doing. If, and this is a big if, if any of this were to happen, if they were not to win the AFC South. But who knows? And like it's only a two year deal with Hopkins. Like who's to say he goes, starts to play down in Tennessee, absolutely hates it, is miserable, requests to trade. You still got the bag. You still have that contract. Like maybe, and then, and then that's where things will get interesting because there are a lot of teams that pretty much every team in the NFL could use him, I think. But there's a lot of teams that are going to be fighting for playoff positions come trade deadline time that if this for whatever reason were to happen could certainly use him. I might say screw it, we'll eat that contract if it means a playoff run. A little bit more than what we have. Yeah, so, I don't know. I just don't think Titan's not doing it for me. Jag's definitely doing it for me. I was talking about the Colts the other day and people seem to get really upset with it. I just, I don't think they're going to be good. But the teams that they're playing are also very bad. So they have a chance to be not as bad. This is how I'm looking at it. The game against the Pats in Germany, like you couldn't have picked two other teams to do that. Their schedule is so, so easy. They play the Falcons, they play the Raiders. Titans twice, don't know how that's going to go. Houston twice, like they're just playing easy teams. Houston. Houston's going to be, how many games realistically do you think that that team wins? Four this year. Four. Four. I'm in like the two to three. One more than the Cardinals, who will have three wins. Yeah, yep. They're starting Colt McCoy this year. They have no other choice. They have a quarterback. I don't even know if they have a quarterback. So yeah, I don't see the Cardinals in very many games at all. Yikes. No. Oh well. Running backs though, a lot of running back news. And a lot of running back discourse. Yeah. I just can't say I agree with it. I don't agree with it. I, oh, Stoto Dinger, let's go. He did? Oh, let's go, yeah. He was on my thing. Finally something good. And he's in my lineup. He's in my too. I said I put every single person I had onto there. Wow, good start. I did. I think I have two people from the Padres in my life because Alec Manoa is pitching, I figure. Yeah, we don't know how that's going to go. No, we don't. But nine pitch at bat, pretty cool. Pretty cool. Hell yeah. I made two points already from Stoto. We love, we love to see it with Sheldra and Tommy coming soon. A fantasy baseball fantasy lineup? That's what you're talking, you made one? Yeah, oh yeah. Who do you have as your pitcher? I think I went cheap with the pitch. I did Cincinnati's pitchers at Weaver. Okay, oh okay. I went with Logan Allen being the homer that I was with this, so. I did. I had him first and then when I went back in to do the financial tinkering took him out at Weaver in because he was cheaper. But I've got, I mean, this is a pretty solid line if you ask me. I think my app is like F and up though because nothing is loading. But yeah, I completely forgot about like the daily fantasy aspect of it yesterday and I looked and I had like, I don't know, like $1.50 in my account. No, I can't let you do it. Oh yeah, let's do it. And I ended up winning like 70 cents on just like the five cents. I like the five cents ones. Games, I was like, all right, this is cool. I spent like, that's a big concern. I think like 35 cents on entries and ended up winning 72 cents. So like I doubled up, not bad. Yeah, pretty small return. Anyway, back to the running backs. I'm gonna be completely honest. Like, I get what the guys are saying. I get that they think that they should be valued more. Especially after, you know, the Giants and this is the craziest one out of all of them, the Giants and Saquon Barkley not being able to come to an extension because he is the New York Giants. Like he's- Yeah, they're not winning without him, but I mean- But at the same time- Were they really winning though? Were they really winning with him? Yeah, exactly so. And I really would be interested to see him truthfully anywhere else. I would like to see it. Specifically Dallas. I would love that more than anything. That'd be so funny. But like it's just, you can't deny the fact that the running back position is, it's like buying a boat. As soon as you sign your name on the contract to buy a boat, it starts to depreciate. That's exactly what it is with running backs and it sucks. It's unfortunate for sure, but it's the truth. Like the wear and tear on their legs from day one, just, that's just, it's just how it goes. Like, they're expendable. And- They are expendable. It's shitty because yeah, they probably do deserve more than they get, but that's just not- Your career is not that long. That sucks, it sucks, but it's just really how it is. So- I would love for them to play long careers and be really good for a really long time, but it just doesn't happen. Yeah, I mean, you had what, Leveon Belt was like top of the top. And then he held out for a year, came back and he just wasn't the same. Like you, time is a fickle beast when it comes to these positions. Like you are getting body slammed left and right constantly running like a maniac. Your knees are shot before you're even 30 years old. And that's when you're probably, most likely coming up on your second contract. And at that point, like, yeah, teams are gonna be like, okay, well, what makes us think that you're gonna be able to do this for the span of whatever contract- For another like two years, two years at that. And how over the millions of dollars we give you. Like, I am never really one to side with, you know, the greedy owners- Oh, for sure, same. Of anything, but like, that's just how- But to say that other players shouldn't get money because you should get more, well, I would spend my money in different ways. So this is where the discourse kind of goes off the rails. Des Bryant tweeting out, who is it? Justin Tucker. Yeah, Justin Tucker should get any kind of money that he wants. He is legitimately the best kicker in NFL history. Like, he deserves whatever he's making. So I feel like we could have used a better example, but also- He scores more points. Justin Tucker scores more points. And like producer Rob tweeted out, you usually only carry one kicker on your roster. One. The importance and the value of that one kicker, pretty big in comparison to, I don't know, three running backs, four running backs, a injury prone position for the most part. Like- And they're not all paid the same. Now let's say you took the top 32 running backs in the kickers and you compared this out. That could be a little better. Yeah. But not all running backs to all kickers. Like it's just not the same. That's not how it works. It's apples and oranges. Like- But again, I want them to get money, but- Like both things can be true. You can agree that on the surface level, they do deserve more than they get, but you also are able to understand why they don't get that much. Like, they're not mutually exclusive here. So, but it's gonna be interesting because like I truly think Saquon and Josh Jacobs will hold out, maybe not Saquon for a whole year, but I think Josh Jacobs will for a whole year. They already tried to trade in last year. Like, I feel like he owes, he thinks, and I think he's right for this. He owes this Raiders team absolutely f-ing nothing. Josh McDaniels came in, said, nope, not picking up your fifth year, trying to trade you and now this, like I'd hold out too if I was him, but at the same time, like what if he does in the next year, it's a whole living on belt thing and he's not even close to the running back that he was. Like, it's tough. It's a tough decision for these guys because how many times have we seen people play on the franchise tag and then get hurt and then they're fucked for their free agency year? So, I don't know, but I mean, we'll see. Training camp is like days away where he's reported today, so we're almost there and we'll see if these guys show up, when they show up. What goes on? Name the last time a great running back won a Super Bowl. A great running back? I don't know. Like, who the hell would we even consider like a great? Like a really good running back that should be paid a lot of money. And now I see that people are saying that running backs in total are gonna hold out. They're just gonna replace you. Yeah, I saw a tweet saying like they started a group chat and like they're unionizing or something. I'm telling you what, Nick Chubb's gonna be on the field, so I don't know what to tell you guys. What is that gonna do? That's not gonna do anything. Jett and Kennan, no. We do not talk about Jett and Kennan's Super Bowl performance, thank you very much. Jett and Kennan. We don't talk about that one. I don't know, like, I'm thinking that the Pats Super Bowl was like James White, really good player, not deserving of like unbelievable running back money, though. Ligaret Blunt, really good player, not deserving of the top tier of money that these guys are hoping to get, like. Which again, feel bad, but. Yeah, it's just the business, man. There's other people that are gonna get paid and they wanna win and it's just how it goes. So if you wanna get money, be a quarterback. So I don't know. Be a backup quarterback. Be a quarterback or be a corner? I don't know. I'd be fine with being a backup quarterback. I don't have to do anything for probably 90% of the season, knock on wood, and I still get a cool like $2 million. Just to sit around and do nothing, go to a couple of meetings, work out here and there, like, so yeah, stand out in the cold for one day, a week, two days a week, like whatever, get millions of dollars for that though. Hell yeah. That was a long scammer. Yeah, also sounds like a good gig. Yeah, not bad. What else is happening in the world? Cleveland Brown's got helmets. Okay, so I saw that. They look great, the whole. Yeah, I think they look really good. See, that's the one good thing that they've done, the actually only good thing that they've ever done for the girls once only they'll never do it again was putting David Najoku in the uniforms for the promo. Thank you, there's no other player we wanna see. There's no one else we wanna see. He's, yeah, I agree. Handsome guy. Only thing they've ever done right. He is a handsome man. I did see the tweet or the article from a blogger, I guess we'll call him, saying how they copied Penn State. That's where I draw the fucking line. Bayles, you can talk your shit, you know, you can talk shit because you are just being annoying and like doing rivalry stuff. Penn State, let's not even go there. I didn't know Penn State like owned the copyright on white helmets. White helmets that were ugly. They have the copyright on that one. They have it like trademark, like did I miss that? They do and it's white helmets that are ugly. Oh, that's the one. Right, yeah, yeah. Okay, all right, so then yeah, I can understand being upset but like the Browns helmets aren't ugly, so. Yeah, so I don't know. Like, so stupid. Just say you never moved on from your college days and just get over it. Like, it's not that serious. It's not that serious, like Penn State. That also is something that about college football that, and I feel like we always come back to this and we're like, oh, college football fans are a little odd. They just need to give it a rest. Especially when you're like an alum of a big time like football program. Like I feel like you are always like stuck in your glory days, never move on type. Right, Penn State really. I mean, I wouldn't be, you know, often. Like how many teams have white helmets? I feel like there's quite a few. There is, but like the plain white ones like that. Well, don't be boring. Don't be so boring. Right, like put a logo on it. The Nittany Lion logo is pretty cool. Just put it on. They won't ever do that. I don't even know what the frickin' Nittany Lion is anyway, but like, I don't know. The only team that should ever bitch about somebody copying their helmets is Notre Dame. Cause like that's iconic. You know when you see a gold helmet, it is Notre Dame football. And like even though the cross team and hockey teams wear them and it's cool. It's their thing. Anybody else like, shut up. Shut, like it's not high school teams, copy professional leagues, logos, like. What about Nebraska? Are they gonna complain about them? They have white helmets. They're a team that you play, so. You're right, they're in the same country. Like why, why is that not a problem? I don't know, this feels very, very weird. Pennsylvania, Ohio. You just leave us being in the same. Bengals want to say shit too. So that's another thing about the Bengals. They're like, I can't believe you guys are copying our helmets. We were a team wearing helmets before you ever knew what helmets were. And I'm like, can you guys just shut the fuck up for five minutes? The only reason that you're a team is because Paul Brown felt bad for you guys and said, here you go. So you're welcome. So what? Same with the Ravens, which is kind of a little crazy. Two of the teams that you play in your division are branches from your franchise. Yeah. Like branched off. Yeah. Really? I like them. I like the helmets. Don't really like the team. Yeah, well. But I like the helmets. Helmets look good. Yeah, I saw them today and I really liked them. And I saw all the girly pops tweeting about them using in Joko. Yeah, there was no, there was no other. They got it right. No other person. They certainly got it right. Can we talk about the Browns for a second? I just want like a space to put this idea out there because I see a lot of people saying, oh, I think this is going to happen. I think this is going to happen. I don't really care what you think is going to happen. The Browns as an organization, if you don't win one playoff game, it's a complete failure. Your season is a failure. You need to destroy the whole thing. You're going to fire your coach, probably get rid of the GM if you don't win a playoff game. I think that's the bare minimum that they need to do with everything that they have going on. Low key how I feel about the Pats right now. Maybe not the fire. What the fuck? Come on. It's true. What? It's true. No. I really do think like if the Pats don't win, don't make the playoffs and at least, at least make the playoffs. Let's put it that way. Yeah. Like. You getting rid of Bill? I'm not getting rid of him. But I've seen, I saw fucking Mike Florio the other day say Belichick should be ready to get fired if they don't make the playoffs. But I do know that Kraft is fed up of losing seasons and not making the playoffs. And it's only... Well, if Kraft is fed up, maybe he should get a better quarterback. Maybe improve your team. I don't know. Try that one. I'm not going to disagree with that one. I'm not, but it's to the point where at the end of last season, when they sent out like the season ticket emails, like he specifically said, we are going to sit down and like diagnose the issue and fix it to get back to the playoffs next year. Like, and that's, I'm not a season ticket holder, but like I see everybody posting it and I can't remember a time where that's ever been set in one of those. Well, he might have to retake that message. Like. He might have to resend the message and maybe a little more after this season. So I don't really know. I think that's a lot to expect from that. See, I don't. I think 10 and seven is... But is 10 and seven going to get you there? I don't think Miami and the Jets are really going to do what everybody thinks they're going to do. I would give the Jets more of a chance, but like, I think it's Buffalo at the top. Not 100% cemented in that spot though. And then the three below all have a pretty solid shot to kick the shit out of each other to get that second spot. Yeah, but who's to say other teams don't make it? Like who? Bangles Ravens? Yeah, maybe. Possible, but. Chargers? I'm at the point right now where like... I mean, I just... A little scared. A little scared. I don't know, I just, I'm not putting my expectations that high for the Patriots. But they also don't have all the underlying issues that you have to do that. Yeah. Like, one, you can't give a quarterback 230 million dollars guaranteed. No, but you can't give that quarterback that money. But if you do, like, win fucking games. Like, it's that simple. Win games or get the fuck out. Our second year corner who got in trouble for weapons at the airport and decided to come back to Twitter today and said, essentially... Oh, what did he say? He, you know, let me pull it off so I can say it word for word. So I don't mess this up. But remember how he had a tweet about John Morant and everything? Yeah, oh yeah. I see, I saw the tweet. He kind of brought that up. So... We saw that, for sure. Mr. Jack Jones came back to Twitter and said, y'all Twitter birds, I'll never argue with nerds. Me and John are not the same. That's the difference. Yeah, because you actually got in trouble and he didn't. That's gonna be the first thing that you say. You got arrested. And he didn't get arrested? He just got suspended. Yeah, pretty serious charges he's facing. Like, that's what you lead off with. That's what you have to say. Not, I apologize for my actions. I am sorry to the organization, to the fans, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever notes app that he wants to post. Like that's that. So. I just don't know. So we'll see. The only difference is, yeah, one got arrested and one didn't. Yeah, right. So yeah, you guys aren't the same. In the grand scheme of things. No, you're not the same as John. You're actually kind of worse right now. So maybe piped out for a second, wait until this is all over for you to start talking. Okay, what do you think that the bare minimum for the Brown should be to say that that was an okay, okay season? If not nice quarterback plays to the level that everybody kind of thinks he should, they should make the playoffs. Should they should make the playoffs. But like I'm just, I'm not even thinking of how he's playing. If you have that, make the playoffs. Like I don't know what else to say. Yeah. If that's what you were going to do, you better fucking win. If you don't. I saw the Madden rankings came out. Amari Cooper is in the top 10 for receivers. Oh, I see. I didn't even see. Yeah, he's like legit number 10, I think, but for him. Yeah. Yeah, I think, I think he'll have a fine season. Just win games, win games, please. And didn't you, I feel like free agency was so fucking long ago that like I, my brain just, I don't remember, but didn't the Brown sign like Elijah Moore? Yeah, that's not who I'm thinking of though. I don't know. I want to say like defense. We got a few guys. Juan Thornhill. I don't know. Maybe it wasn't. Is it Darius Smith? Yes, that's who it was. Thank you. What a guy. Yeah, that's pretty. He's a big, big scary guy. Pretty legit. We got a lot of big scary guys. This is Darius Smith. Miles Garrett. Yes. I would not, I would not feel all that great as they pose in quarterback. Yeah, I don't think Joe Burrow was not happy with Miles Garrett as it is. Yeah. I give him a nice little partner in crime. That's not Jadavion Clowney just kind of packing it in. Like, yeah, I'm, I, I wouldn't. He was up in Clowney, girl. Who the hell knows, man? Is he on a team? Is he anywhere? I haven't looked. I don't know. I don't know. When I tell you I completely forget everything that happened between the months of March and April in terms of the national football league, like it's gone. It's from my brain. I can't pull it. I got nothing. Aside from Aaron Frick and Rogers because that was literally the center of attention for months on end and you had no choice but to remember that that was happening. Everything else, like it's foggy. So I have no idea. Wasn't there talk about him going back to Houston or something? Yeah. Josh Bell homerun, what the fuck? I thought about that one too. Here we go. We got, no, he's still unsigned. He is on the, from eight hours ago the list of eight best NFL free agents still available heading into training camp along with Dalvin Cook, Yannick Ngakwe, Marcus Peters, oh, Marcus Peters. I love Marcus Peters. I think he's so funny. If this whole Jack Jones thing doesn't, you know, get resolved in the courts the way people are hoping it will. Wouldn't mind giving Marcus Peters a call. I actually would very much enjoy that. Zeke is still out there. You know who's not still out there because they brought it back and they gave him a little bit of money and he supposedly took a pay cut to be there which I'm not buying that shit because you get a lot of issues going on. Joe Mixon. Yeah, okay. So I saw that the other day. Running back to the sports, yeah. Saw that the other day. Joe Mixon's up with the Bengals. I mean, that's fine for them. I think he'll do well. I don't think he's like a crazy, outstanding running back, he's good. Yeah. But they were acting like it was such a steal. Think about all the things that you had to go through to get to that point though. Well, another gun, issues before. And on top of that is a running back. So we just had that combo. I don't necessarily know if it's a steal more or less you are putting yourself, you were giving yourself a plan if for whatever reason, something similar to those situations pops up again, you're not on the hook for more money. Yeah. That's what that seems like to me. I'm not counting it as a pay cut. That's what he was going to get. That's what he was going to get. My mom just facetime me or just texted me a screenshot from our FaceTime call this morning, completely random. It's the worst picture of myself I've ever seen. I hate screenshots of FaceTime. Yeah. It's so bad. I look like deformed. Like my chin, it's so bad. So bad. Yeah. I don't know. But like, also, if I'm a free agent running back, like if I'm Zeke right now, or if I'm Dalvin Cook, like I'm looking at situations like that and being like, okay, I could do that. Why am I still? Dalvin Cook will probably get more money than to mix up his issues, you know? I don't know. It's from everything that's been reported about this situation. Like Miami has offered him like, I think the rumor is like five. He doesn't want that. He wants at least like eight. You know who made it out real great out of the running back situation? Jamal Williams. Like he's just going and going and going. Yeah. He's just taking what they're giving him and he's going to touch down. Did you see his pictures from Japan? No. Oh my God, they're so cute. He's dressing like all the traditional clothing and stuff. It's just like, it looked like he was having the time in his life. So, and I'm excited for, I'm not excited for the Saints season. I'm specifically excited for Jamal Williams' season with the Saints because Kamara, I mean, the last couple of years has not, you know, done what Alvin Kamara should be doing. No, well, yeah. In many ways. Yeah, in many ways. Yeah, fights in the club and stuff. Shouldn't be doing that. But now, with cute little cute pie Jamal, this is, it's going to be like the, the Detroit lion season all over again where like Deandre Swift got the carries that got them to where they needed to go and just Jamal's just let him go, you know, eating the touchdowns, racking them up. So I'm going, he's going to be my, on my list, my short list of fantasy football running backs this year because, but that's, I'm also like in that weird spot, like I am every summer where I'm like, do I really want to play fantasy football again this year? Like I don't think I do. I made a fantasy team. I don't, I don't think I'm going to remember to change my lineups. I don't think I'm going to remember to get people. It was a slow draft, which was also awful. No offense. Yeah. I, it was seven hours to pick a player. I was way too long. Yeah. Sometimes I forgot, I forgot like four times. So we went away seven hours from my pick just to go. Sorry, don't make it seven hours if you don't want to wait. I'm just like the last, especially last season, like last season was the least amount of enjoyment that I had playing fantasy football and I won. Like I won the league. I won a fantasy football team. Like granted, it was, you know, kind of by default because of the whole bills, bangles, game situation. But like, aside, before that even happened, like I was miserable playing fantasy football a year. So like, I don't think I want to do it again, but then I know if I don't do it, I'm going to be so bored. So maybe I'll just like, I'll give up real life fantasy and just play like daily fantasy. I like daily fantasy so much more because I can change it. If someone sucks last week, I'm like, I don't really want them. Give me something better. Yeah. And match up. You don't have to deal with drama in the league and stuff. You don't have people asking you questions. Just your time, your money. Yeah. No one else. I got accused of paying somebody off for a trade. Did you? Like paying somebody behind the scenes to make a trade go through? Literally nothing. Literally nothing. Not a thing. The conversation of I'll give you 10 bucks for so and so did not even cross my mind. It was just a trade that they proposed to me. I countered. It was accepted. Boom. That's it. But no, because the only girl in the league did it. She must have paid somebody off. Of course. Good. So dumb. Ended up taking the next week though, which is cool. But man, it's getting closer. It's getting closer. The toxic time is coming back. It's really close. You know what else is close? I'm gonna be trade deadline. Thank God. I want to see something cool happen. I feel like we're going to be disappointed. I don't care what happens as long as we finally get Yankees fans to shut the hell up about Shohei Otani. He can't go there. He cannot go there. Don't want to see it. Whether it's not even going to be good for baseball. No. No. You want everyone to hate the player that everybody loves? That's exactly what I was going to say. Why would you do that? I truly would not enjoy watching him play baseball anymore. I feel bad saying that. I don't want to root for him if he's playing for the Yankees. No, absolutely. Sorry, Shohei. Love you, but not going to love you there. It would just feel so wrong. The Yankees are, granted, it's the AL East. And the AL East is better than first place in much of the other divisions and stuff. But the Yankees are in sole possession right now of last place in the AL East. And that obviously can change because the Red Sox are the Red Sox, but they're also playing really well right now. They've won 10 of their last 12 or something like that. So I don't necessarily know if they should be buyers, if the Yankees should be buyers right now. They're not far out of a wild card spot, but two or three more series losses and that's it. I also don't understand why people are getting upset with the Angels for saying that he's available for trade. Yeah, why would they let that good of a player walk away? You know how much you can get from that little two month amount? But also, these are the same people that have said for however long Shohei has been in the league. Oh my God, he's rotting there in Anaheim. He's wasting his prime years in Anaheim. And now that the Angels are making him available to trade, that's a problem. Like, isn't this exactly what we've all wanted for the last three years? Make up your mind. Yeah, seriously, sorry, so tired. Yeah, so just get what you can now because you're not gonna get anything later. And I don't think he's gonna sign back there in free agency, so. Hopefully not. Hopefully not because it's like, what? The Angels just are never going to get out of their own place. Like, he can't do, he can't do what Mike Trout has done his entire career either. Like, that would just be a generational waste. It'd be horrible. It would be so bad for baseball if Shohei Otani never even sniffs the playoffs in his career. So bad, I don't know. But there's also, Cody Bellinger is having a sneaky good season. Yes, he's turning it. Lots of rumors surrounding him. A little better than how it started. Yeah, well, yeah. No, it's not gonna get traded. Who's that? Shane Bieber's not gonna get traded. Oh, darn it. Shane Bieber's gonna go on the 60-day high L instead. Oh, so he's basically done. Well, he has right elbow soreness, so you know what that means. Yeah. You know where that's eventually going to lead. So why not tell us now that we're gonna get Tommy John? Yep. They say he's not gonna throw for a few weeks and then reevaluate they said he doesn't need surgery. But every time you say that, I feel like it always leads to surgery. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. I, that's kind of similar to like the Chris Sale situation. Like... And Tommy John recovery is way better than it was before. Everyone comes back better than they were. Look at Glass now, he's awesome. Bryce Harper came back in what, four months? Like... Awesome. He's not a pitcher, so it's not the same strain. But still, like that's impressive. So it's, luckily, Tommy John is not like the death sentence that used to be was where... Honestly, you might end up being better. Maybe Nathan Evaldi, he's had two Tommy John surgeries. Look at him now, he's one of the best pitchers in the AL. Like, granted, you know, last year wasn't really all that great stuff, but like whatever, we don't need to talk about last year. We can just talk about what's happening now. There's so much in baseball that's happening this season. I feel like it doesn't really ever happen like that. I just... It's a disaster. I just can't get past the AL East being as much of a pain in the ass as it is. Like, you would think, if I just told you, hey, a baseball team just won 10 out of their last 12, you'd probably think, oh shit, they're like gunning for first place if not already there. Nope. Surprise here. One year ahead of the last place right now, like... And then you got the pathetic AL Central. Pathetic AL Central, just sucking it up every day. No one wants to win, no one wants to contend, no one wants to be good, no one wants to win a fucking game, two days in a row. Like, that's a challenge to do. It's, yeah, just baseball, man. I told myself that this year I wasn't gonna have expectations for the Red Sox and here I am. Invested. Looking at the standings every single day just to do the math and see how far away we are from this and how far away the Yankees are from catching us and this, that and the other and like thinking back to myself at the end of March saying, okay, this is gonna be whatever season. Like, don't get too invested. Invested. Here I am. Why would you not be? I was invested in the Cab Summer League. Like, you just can't. Okay. Let's talk about that for a second. So I thought it was awesome. The Cavs won the Summer League championship for the tournament and whatever, beating who was like, Houston? Yeah. I was happy for them. Come on. Yeah, no, that's cool. That's great and stuff, but just like seeing like Imani Bates like posting videos of the ring and like those were so funny. They opened up spinning around in the boxes. I think it's hilarious that they do that, but I think it's good that they do that because most of these guys are gonna be in the G League anyways. Yeah. Okay. Basically all of them, you know, just let them have their moment. Just trying to find their way in the league. It's funny though, like the ring ceremony. I said Evan Mowley's brother was MVP. Awesome. It was awesome for them. I've been to a couple Cleveland charge games and they're actually really, really fun because they play like right across the street from me. Yeah. Just walk over the calves, their actual players go to the games. All the time you can get court side seats for like you pay like $45 and you get unlimited food and drinks. Oh, hell yeah. Yeah. That's pretty sick. Yeah. I don't, I never went to a Celtics G League game because they play all the way up in Maine. Like that's so far. So far, but yeah. It would have been fun to go when like Taco Fall was there. Oh, I love Taco. Oh, what a guy. He was playing, who's he playing for? He's playing for somebody. I can't remember. I can't remember. Last night, I thought he was with like Orlando or something, but I don't know. I really don't. Imani Bates though. I don't think he's going to play really, but I would like to see it just a couple of times for fun. Yeah. I don't know. I'm so far checked out from basketball and hockey right now. That's going to take up until basically the week before for me to get back into it. Cause I'm just so depth stated by literally everything that they've done to me over the last couple of months. So, but I did pay attention a little bit to the Celtics summer league and a draft pick Jordan Walsh seems like pretty solid, pretty solid. I saw a lot of people saying he should get like starting minutes and stuff. And I'm like, okay, let's, let's reel it in. But then I watched, I watched some of the, the film or not the film, but like the highlights and shit. And like, I could see it. I don't necessarily hate, they might be a little premature, but I don't think it's crazy. So, I don't know. That's all I got. But women's world cup starts this week and us over at Fandall, we're doing something pretty cool for it. So, because the world cup is in Australia and New Zealand, these game times are going to be brutal. Like I'm talking like three AM kickoffs, stuff like that. So, luckily, lots of the US women's games are at normal times for us, but in the options that they're not, Fandall in select cities, we are having a coffee truck where you can come get some free coffee, talked with us about, you know, the women's world cup, team USA, how the tournament's going. So, if you're in Boston, New York City, Columbus, Ohio, or Kansas City, we're going to have coffee trucks. Come by, Gads gonna be there, what, this week in Columbus? Yeah, I'm gonna be in Columbus Thursday and Friday. Okay. So, Gads there this week for the kickoff games, I'm gonna be in Boston towards the end of the tournament for the semifinals and the finals. Hopefully, team USA is obviously playing in those, but if you are in and around any of those four cities, we would love to have you come by, we're gonna be doing fan content, asking questions, and stuff like that, so you can be in some of our fun little videos that you always see and get some free coffee. Free coffee. Who doesn't love free coffee? And yeah, I think that I just covered everything about all that that I missed in the video. Just it's free coffee. Free coffee for the girls. Free coffee for the girls, go team USA. Yeah, and then, other than that, we are going on summer break for the next couple of weeks. I am going to be here on vacation. So, we'll be back, I believe in a month, for Tuesdays, something like that. I'm not totally sure, but we obviously will be updating the Twitter page with clips from this week and with whatever else happens between now and then keeping you updated on when we come back, blah, blah, blah. So, we'll be gone for a little bit, but not totally gone, still active on the Twitter and everything like that. And yeah, that's it. Until then, get some football questions ready. Oh, when we come back, when we come back it's football season, baby, so we'll get into some nice futures bets and shit. It'll be good. So, we will see you guys in a few weeks. Go team USA. Go team USA.
