Awesome time with them. We also are going to talk some college basketball, we have some M.L.B. signings and some update on the uniforms. Apparently, you can see everyone's dong every year, per Darren Revelle. Maybe we should call him.
He'll be our senior dick course. Yeah, maybe we'll call our esports correspondent, Darren Revelle, I don't know. We're going to have a great show and then we have a Monday reading. Monday readings are back.
We have two Monday readings. Hey sports fans looking for a new?
Show to Binge Check out Mr. Throwback on Peacock. Follow Danny, a down-on-his-luck memorabilia dealer looking for redemption by reuniting with his middle school teammate. NBA legend Steph Curry That's right, NBA great Steph Curry goes from the court to the screen in this comedy mockumentary.
That's pure gold, it's got basketball style and epic lie that's bound to come out eventually. You know what they say, ball, don't lie, but sometimes people do. Don't miss Steph Curry in his first scripted TV role, Mr.
Throwback streaming now only on Peacock.
Okay, let's go.
Now in the street, there is violence and lots of work to be done.
No place to hang out or wash in. And then I can't name all of the songs. Oh no, we're gonna rock.
Down to Electric Avenue and then we'll take it higher. Oh, we're gonna rock down to electric.
It's a part of my take, presented by Marshall Sports.
Welcome to part of my take presented by DraftKings Sportsbook. Today is Monday, February 26th. And boys, it's happened again. We got a court storming problem. We've got some discourse when.
Comes to storming the court, I think that nature kind of has a way of healing itself. Sometimes when fans storm the court and the fans get injured, I think that's good. I think there should be a rule that if you're a player and a fan comes at you, you can just go hog wild on them.
The free fight rule that I've had for a very long time, let the players have a free fight. But yeah, we had a great Saturday of college hoops. We can get some of the other games, Yukon and Villanova. But the big story that captivated the country for, I don't know, three or four hours, was Duke getting their or wake Forest storming the court on Duke? Kyle Filipowski getting maybe injured? Have we had an MRI with him yet?
I don't think he's that.
Injured? I haven't seen it yet, so I guess he sprained his ankle. He may or may not have sprained his ankle. Tripping the guy that was shoving, he stuck his foot out, the guy went flying, which is awesome.
But yeah, then after the game, he just said, like, yeah, it felt personal, it felt like they were attacking me. And then the overhead camera, I don't know, have we always had these overhead cameras, like?
We saw that with Caitlin Clark, right, and we now we see it here. I think it's just installed strictly to review Court Storm.
It's it's strictly, it's it's installed. So that when a player says, Oh, my life was threatened, we can zoom in and be like, No, actually, you were the one shoving, which I don't listen. That was a bang bang play. I don't know if I'm going to go all the way. Say the Kyle Filipowski was like, actively trying to push someone. It was a bang bang play. I love court storming.
I'll always love court storming. It's part of college basketball, it's part of like, it's unique to the sport. And like, students getting excited, college kids being idiots. I'm in for all of that because I once was a very, very dumb college student. And I don't forget that, even though those years are very long, long ago. But it was a court like a year ago.
Yeah, we did, and that was fun. Well, that was awesome. That's when Wisconsin won the big 10..
Yeah, outright share of it. The uh yeah, Darren Ravel tried to try to cause he. He uh said that guys should. It was assault and that it should be like, criminally prosecuted and all these ways. Everyone came up with ways to stop court storming. So as a as a big J journalist myself, what I did was I went back and I found all the times Darren Ravel cheered about a court storming. And I just retweeted them into the timeline.
And then he was like, Didn't you do a show court Stormer or Storm Chasers? I was like, Yeah, and it rocked. Yeah, it was awesome.
It's fun, but again, when you do it, you have to be ready to deal with the consequences. If you go on the court, you might get. It's like the Harambee rules, you run, you run into the gorilla nest.
You might, somebody's going to get shot. The big story for me, um, outside of the fact that it was just reminding me that. Like, a ton of, uh, reporters for a given sport don't like the fans. And like, actually look down on them, which always just baffles me. Uh, was, I was just missing coach so much in this moment, this was a moment built for Coach K. He would have probably gone into the The Wake Forest locker room. He probably would have actually scheduled maybe a lecture on Monday at Wake Forest to teach a class at Center Court.
Yeah, he would have, he would have, he would have gotten everyone off the court, he would have scolded them. He would ask for the microphone, uh, and then he would have given us a press conference. Where he was, you know, screaming and yelling and being upset, not screaming, yelling, being his.
You know how coach K, he gets smarmy, he gets, he screams without yelling. He gets real disappointed. Yeah.
Like everyone, Coach K thinks everybody in the world is his son right, and so he gets to.
Talk to them like that. And he would, and he would make sure to avoid all questions about the actual game and losing to Wake Forest. And, uh, I missed him, I missed him in this moment.
John Shire tried his best to give us a coach K impression, being like, you have to ban this forever. Uh. Meanwhile, I think Duke is the one student section where, like the students basically touch the players when they're inbounding a ball. Yeah, uh, but I'm, I will stay. I. I wish Phil Palsky didn't get hurt.
I hope no players get hurt. I do think you probably need to wake Forest, maybe probably should have. Like, I think there was time on the clock when the when the players are on the or in the court. That was excessive, but other than that, like it was a false start. Figure out a way to to, you know, get. I think Creighton did it perfectly, where they basically just walled off the entire Yukon bench when they stormed the court.
Don't get rid of store. Uh, courts don't do that. That's the one thing that, like everyone who's trying to tell you that there should not be court storming, they're fucking losers. And they probably went to, like, Syracuse or Northwestern.
Uh, that's a shot at you, Jake. And don't remember what it's like to have fun in college? I actually think that what coach K would?
Do would be their next home game, Duke's next home game. He would lecture his fans as an example. Be like, we're better than that, we don't need to do. What the Wake Forest of the world do? We expect to win here at Duke? And you're endangering yourselves and your opponents.
And you're more than anything, you're selling the reputation of your school, yeah, if you do this. So he would give a big lecture to Duke. That is just a hundred percent of slap in the face to Wake Forest.
And how many course storings are there in a year, like a hundred, I don't know. There's a lot now, yeah.
So we're trying to find a solution to a problem that doesn't really exist.
Yeah, Wake Wake Forest was. They were fast, the fans were, they were on it, they were all over it. Uh, you got to wait until the clock expires.
And then I agree that the way that they walled off, uh, Yukon, is the right way to do it, so they can. All the players can, you know, file calmly off the court. But in a situation like this, like if Phillipowski intentionally tripped the person that was sprinting full speed, by the way, that takes balls to just like sprint full speed across.
The court, Yes, I'm okay with that. I am, too, because guess what, his like this is what happens when, uh, Caitlin Clarke was in a similar situation.
When you take a terrible loss and then you have fans in your face, that's an emotional moment for the players too. So I, I'm not going to go be like, Oh, Phillipowski, like, what? How could he possibly do that again? Bang bang play. I just I think he's probably fine.
I think he might've, I think it might've been a phantom role of an ankle, like, Oh shit, we lost, and I just shoved the guy possibly out. My ankle hurts.
Out my arm. Rodney Dangerfield Yeah, it's like if if Grayson Allen was complaining about like a bruised shinbone all the time, right? Be like, Well, it's cause you stuck your foot out and did.
It, I think it's a very smart play by him. I think it's like, you can change no one's talking about.
The loss, Yeah, talking about court story, it is a it's a heady play, it's a very Duke play.
And guess what, no matter what we say, what we do, kids are going to still rush on the court. After a big win at home, especially on a Saturday, correct? It's just going to happen.
It's going to, and it's going to rock. And those are memories that those kids will have for the rest of their lives to be like, Remember that time we dummied Kyle Phillipowski? Yeah, that was sick.
Uh, I just want, on the record, I'm pro court storming. Uh, you came across?
It was a moment in time where you and Darren Ravel were lockstep in your thoughts. It was like, you, Darren Ravel, Seth Davis and and, uh, Jeff Goodman, all being like this is disgusting.
I don't think, I don't think Jake is pro court storming. I think he's like, Yes, it happened, but where they're, uh, insider agitators that were telling the kids to storm the court I am.
A pro safety? Yeah, I didn't want anyone getting hurt, students or players. You were quick to jump.
On the Oh my god, this is so bad, he he got hurt, uh the the, the students ran at him.
Yeah, I. Until we saw the overhead, you got to wait, that's on me. Storming the court with you guys in Madison was one of the most fun experience. You are a hypocrite, too.
Yeah, I never said I'm anti, I am pro. Students should have fun. But this is Wake Forest Administration's fault for not having a security plan. Like you said, Creighton had a perfect plan. If Wake Forest has this plan, you have to come with the plan.
Duke's coming. Yeah, I don't, I don't really, I don't even.
Really, the issue is Wake Forest not being good enough at basketball to believe that.
People are talking about that. Oh, here we go. I didn't know if you were a Duke fan or Nova fan. Um, the we'll get to that. Uh, no, Philly.
Hank is is like sprouting a rose pedal from concrete. Uh, I don't blame the security either, because they're probably getting paid like seven bucks an hour, so pay them more. Yeah, I don't know.
Like, I'm not going to blame some dude in a yellow coat who's getting paid minimum wage and has a bunch of kids running at them. The university should have had a better plan. Sure you were, you were for a moment there, Very much.
It was, it was a group of big J journalists who fucking suck eggs, and you were in that group, that was a fact. You, I mean, you don't. You don't release, you don't release a Notes app if you weren't in.
That group prematurely made a mistake. I own it, I don't double down, I know what I'm wrong, Jake.
It's always tough 20 minutes, it's always better to be right than to be first. Yeah, you're.
Absolutely right. and I was first. Yeah, yeah, I was actually I was right in first by saying the.
Course storming rocks. No matter what, you know what I might be, I might be anti-safety. Yeah, yeah.
This is a man is all about. You got to take chances sometimes. If you're a fan, how many times are you going to get that opportunity, if you're a Wake Forest fan? To beat Duke on your home court? And then just go balls to the wall, sprinting full speed?
Right, like in the thick of the game, like, I'm doing the bare minimum right now of being like, well, you really should wait till the time. Fuck that run at any time, yeah, anti-safety. As soon as the game feels like it's over, fucking storm the court.
And you know what, I bet you?
If you ask that guy in Wake Forest, if he, if he ended up getting injured, if he's got like a torn MCL or something, he would be like, Yeah, it was worth it, it was worth it, I'd do it again.
The the one, the one Wake Forest guy who padded Philip Housey on the back and set Davis was like, Did you see him try to shove him? Oh, the second guy, I would have had more of that guy. I didn't even like he touched him, I guess you can't touch him.
You should be able to touch him.
Fuck it, maybe have chaos, that's the thing. If you want to touch the players, they're going to touch you too, yeah.
That's I'm cool. And next thing, you know, people are either beating each other up or beating each other, beating each other off. Yeah, so either way, it's going to be fun either way.
Yeah, I just don't want court.
Storming to ever stop. And it looks in. Every time one of these situation pops up, it's like, all these big J's just show up in like. This has to stop. These guys who are sitting in a press box who don't remember what it was like to have fun, so do it safely, fine.
But keep doing it.
Do it more, it's harder. Listen, I would. I would rather I like seeing storming a court like this way more than I like seeing that guy and his girlfriend or wife or whatever. Calling Kevin Durant a bitch, yeah, and then Kevin Durant walking over to that was the funniest.
It was bad for podcasters. They called him, they called him a bitch. And then he walked over to the woman and the woman was like, Here, shake my hand, and then they're like, Well, his her.
Her brother died. And I have a podcast. Yeah, it was. The only thing missing was if the woman was maybe skinnier and the man was fatter. It would have been a episode of part of my team, yeah.
Yeah, spent like six years calling him a bitch, then being like, Hey dude, can you come on?
Yeah, please come on, that was us. We want to have them on the podcast to ask him if he is.
A baby back bitch Yeah, no, we don't. I think I've since changed my tune. He's not a baby back bitch, I just wonder.
Some people are asking that, yes, some people have talked about, and the people.
That we're talking about are that's us six years ago, right? We're talking about it, correct?
We've evolved, we've changed our stance. More facts came out, Jake, so we've updated our minds and.
I hate that I keep bringing up Ravel, but he's when he. When I retweeted all his old tweets and people were like, Dude, was this you? and he's like, Yeah, 2021 times have changed.
He's experienced personal growth since then. You're new him. Yeah, uh, I like that. That works.
It makes you're like 16, 25, not when you're 45 to 47.
When they're trying to cancel you for like, high school tweets, what? yeah, they're trying to cancel you for, like high school tweets.
Yeah.
2021 way different. What rocks is that you can always blame anything that happened in 2020, or.

But yeah, it was a great, it was a great weekend of college hoops.
Feels like we're getting ready for March. Uh, big story in college hoops this weekend. Rick Pitino brought the white suit, I know, and he looked good and they won. And he, apparently, he had to hit up a tailor and bribe a tailor to make this suit for him.
Shout out John Fanta, he was he. John Fanta got the whole story. Yeah, that's like.
I mean, this is why John Fanta exists, it is, and this is great reporting on his part. Yeah, and Pitino and the white suit looks fantastic.
Big win. I wish I had known that Pitino was wearing the white suit. you have to bet on the white suit it. It camouflages all the stains for Rick.
And so he's out there, looking his best. Oh, our stalker did hit me up. He's like, Wait, what'd he say? let me read it. He was like, This is what winners do.
Yeah, I mean, yes, I respect Rick when he's wearing the white suit, this guy doesn't.
Understand that we like Rick Pitino, you have to like Rick Pitino, he's, he's good for college basketball. Yeah, hold on where he texts me.
Almost immediately after the game, it felt like it might've been just Rick from, Oh, yeah, you see what winners do. Go out and back it up. Against your friend McDermott, we had Greg McDermott on one time.
Yeah, that's what happens when you poke the bear. No coincidence there. Looking forward to seeing you in Chicago for the game on the fifth. So, if I'm reading this correctly, credit to us.
Yeah, credit to us for getting the best out of Rick Pitino. Yeah, you're welcome, you're welcome.
We're we're I who keeps stalking me, the Rick whispers. Yeah, um. So we had another big game, Nova Yukon.
Would happen, so I didn't. I didn't catch that one. Um, I was at a bar that didn't have TVs when that game was going on and I haven't checked the scores. Well, good, good news PFT. It was dubbed the No lose.
So no one lost. Okay, yeah, but somebody had to lose, yeah.
So the way I started shaking out as the game was was, uh, we were talking about, we were previewing it. Last week. And Danny Hurley tweeted out a Game of Thrones meme with him. He was pissed off because they just lost to McDermott. So you felt like something big was coming from Yukon. But I feel like this was a really no lose situation for Villanova, who'd be playing like they had, you know, every opportunity. No, no expectations were on Villanova, so at the very least, I expected them.
To keep it close within probably 10 points or so. Um, no, unfortunately they got absolutely boat raced. Um, and Max was very upset. I think he might still be upset. Was it a beat down?
It was a beat down of, Yeah, it was a beat down. Well, Tristan Newton had a, uh, a triple double, uh. They were actively like, they were kind of toying with Villanova at the end, they kept them in till the end. Like, and every time he passed the ball, he was one assist away.
Every time he passed the ball and like, the crowd would go crazy, and then finally he got it. Um, I t I was, I was behind, cause I I. I caught some guy picking his nose very aggressively. So I had to rewind my TV normal stuff on a Saturday night. Uh, so I was like, maybe a minute behind.
And so I'm watching the end of the game with two minutes left. And I was like, he's not going to get this, cause they're going to pull everyone. And I texted the group text being like, Well, at least no one got a triple double max. And then, like, right away, it happened because I was behind and I was like, whoops.
And then Max just went nuclear, just deciding to, and then Hank jumped.
In Hank's a Villanova fan now, if you had been up to speed on the game, you would never say that.
I would never known to say that. And they hank, hank, hank was texting, being like, I hope I fucking pray that Villanova plays the Badgers in the tournament. What, what? Why is this a rivalry? Now? My? The Badgers are not good by the way, they're going to be in the tournament.
They're not good, they hurt they. The minute I said, I was becoming emotionally vulnerable, they stunk from that moment on, so they actually made it very easy for me. So my expectations are low, but Villanova, I don't know if there'll be in the tournament.
First four out, actually three three quad one games still left on the schedule.
First four out, so right now, if the tournament started, they would not be in.
But they got the quad one, according to Joe Lennart, like that doesn't mean anything.
Well, I mean, he's usually pretty right. That is incorrect. Right now, Blake has them in the.
Tournament. And it would be a. It would be disgusting if they let. You would be very disappointed if they didn't make it, but you got to worry about the bubble.
So why are you coming at me? I was, I was upset, I was emotional.
Yeah, so how are you feeling now? And Hank, what, what? what is your are you? Is there a beef now?
No, I was, I was, I was just with Max, he was, he was in a bad place. I was trying to fire him up. I was also just trying to fire him up, you know, as a friend, and also just to just to get some.
Spiciness in the group text Actually, I just got a text from Blake. He's listening live, he's got great ears. Uh, he has them as the uh, one of the final four into the nit.
So nit, that's his nit bracket, Max said. I pray we play you as a 12-5.
Pray, Hank said. Mega Max Lock of the Millennium, Nova versus Wisconsin, like out of nowhere.
What, what, what? Uh, so that was your first Villanova game you watched, Hank?
Yeah, I'm trying to get back into it. It was, it was the the tweet I thought was a little over the top, obviously. You know you, you like that out of your coach. With the Uh, the Game of Thrones tweet, it was like 88 of the public money was on Yukon. It seemed like a letdown spot.
It seemed like everyone was like, Oh my God, he put out this game of thrones tweet, they're going to kill him. And, you know, big East rivalry, big spread. But Danny Hurley backs up what he said, I know.
But I was just thinking that the Madison Square. He said. No, he said, you can get us now, get us now, cause you won't get us later. And then he was completely correct in saying that, and I was.
Thinking Big East Basketball, it's going to be close rivalry game and then Villanova, I think.
Shot 7. So he thought it was a letdown spot for Yukon after they were coming off of a letdown.
Yeah, yeah, after, yeah, it was a double.
Also shout out Game Dave to having a Danny Hurley shoot half court shots. And he immediately just yelled, Oh, I love that, like, as loud as possible.
I love that also. I heard a rumor that College Game Day was not allowing Max, I heard the same rumor that that they were not. They're not in the interest of, uh, they're not interested in promoting part of my take. And so for all the people that showed up with Max, has I got? I got tipped off and they were confiscating those signs, yes.
ESPN is swear to God. Someone DM me and said they brought a sign and they took it. Yep, I heard that, too. So they'll let you do football.
Game day, yes, but they won't let students bring a fan. They were trying to hire me at the time.
Part of my tape, Max Soda, I mean, everyone in that booth listens to us, Max, are they trying to hire you? Shout out, shout out Kevin's, shout out, Kyle.
Who else is in that booth? I don't know, in the in the truck, but ESPN was probably a Joe.
ESPN probably sees all the Max memes and their next big move is to hire Max, Yeah, and ESPN.
Sweep Max back to the game.
Yeah.
What do you think? What is it, a make or mislead?
Yeah, shooting 12 from three is not going to win you back. Yeah, Max is actually sitting at.
At the bar. But, like, you know, when you stand on the bottom of your chair, so you're even taller. Yeah, he was doing that yelling at the TV, and I just kept looking at the bartender and being like.
What, what is going on to me, Max? I didn't, I told you before, I didn't do the thing I was going to do. Which is going to be very mean. Cause you guys were at, uh, Declan's, my, uh. One of my very good friends owns the bar. And I was going to have him go over before the game and be like, Hey, if Yukon covers big cats, paying for the entire tab just to have everyone root for Yukon at the table, didn't do that.
So credit to me, yeah, at least I wouldn't have had to pay for the tap. And I realized what I should do, if that ever happens again is I should actually make it like shots for the entire bar, yeah.
So the whole bar roots against Max, I would leave.
I'm going to do that, I'm going to do that. That's what I thought you were saying at first when you were like, I was going to cover the tab, but no, you were just paying for Max's table.
Yeah, the well he was with like 10 dudes, so I was going to just get the whole all the dudes. It was a great Saturday up until that, and then you woke up this morning.
You put on your sixers shirt and you're like, it's going to be different today, belt to ass.
I mean, no sixers, you can't even get that, uh, from so nova in or out.
They're going to be in there. It doesn't help. It started the day yesterday, first four out.
They finished the day. They can't, they can't. Lose to Georgetown. That would be a quad three or four loss. that would be very bad. Max Georgetown's must win.
You need a resume builder?
Well, that's not a resume builder. No three quad one games after that, okay, win some quad one.
Games back, we win, it's not hard and then when two of the next three we're in, go do it.
It's not hard. Max versus Pug next week? Huge bubble game. Yeah, no, do it.
Max.
Go win some quad one games, Quad two games, that's all that matters this time of year, Quad one and.
Two Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
Uh, should we participate in the in the difficult discussion that's happening across Michigan? Regarding Tom Izzo? Yeah, it's over. You think it's over? I was a really bad loss, Tom Izzo.
Um, we were very early on this take, which we made, uh, I think, being sarcastic that he's overrated now. Now it seems like the world's catching up to that.
Take, it feels like it feels like we lost Kay, we lost Rory Williams, lost Bay heim, Bay heim, by the way, getting like a Bay Heim day this quick, yeah.
That feels that feels weird. He's got a little, a little time pass, he like he. He was very upset, he got fired. Um, yeah, I think Izzo, that was a really, really bad loss.
Things are tough right now for Michigan State.
I feel bad for him. If you're Michigan State and you, you have a big brother, win a national championship in football. You were pointing at basketball, so you're like, Well, it doesn't matter, we're basketball school. And then to have this implode on them.
But I feel like, with Izzo, are they gonna? would they fire Izzo? No, you have to let Izzo walk on his own. You have to be like, Well, we'll fire you if you don't retire, yeah.
He's he, he will gracefully go away.
It's like, we're sending you to a home, right? look after you, right? No, he'll.
Yeah, he'll have to.

I have a trivia for you. Pft. Okay, uh, I'm going to list some names, okay?
Jeff Capel, Kenny Payne, Hubert Davis, Earl Grant, Adrian Autry, Damon Stoudemire, Micah Shrewsbury, Kevin Keats, Leonard Hamilton. Okay, what are those guards? No, those are ACC head coaches who happened to be black, okay?
That was actually a graphic on ESPN. Interesting ACC coaches who happened to be Black, they just stumbled upon it with a coincidence. I don't know what the.
Fuck, that was, that's wild. It's way better to say, are black, Black head coaches, Black head coaches who happened to be? But yeah, we're putting up this stat. Isn't this a weird coincidence? The.
The whoever made that graphic is so scared of language that they went with happens to be Black.
So why would you make that graphic if it's happens to be? I don't know. It was one of the weirdest.
Things ever. I thought it was a Photoshop when I first saw it, but then I saw it everywhere I was.
Like, this actually was put on air. I love that happens to be black, I kind of love it. You know what I was thinking about the other day?
You remember back in When was that? Was it 2020? Maybe before, when ESPN had the guy named Robert E. Lee, or his name was Bob Lee, Robert Lee, yeah.
RoBert Lee And he was going to announce Asian dude. Yeah, he's an Asian guy.
He still calls games for them. Yeah, he was going to announce a game at UVA and they moved him off the assignment because his name was Robert Lee. Oh, we were insane for a little bit there, didn't what?
What was that? What was the dj's guy? the DJ who ended racism? Didn't we get over this? Who was that at the MLS?
Oh yeah, Tiesto. No, David, get David, get a. uh, just shout out George Floyd. shout out to his family.
Shout out to his family. Keep starting that clip real quick. The uh, but yeah, happens to be black. That is, you gotta, you gotta pause and be like, What am I saying with this? yeah.
Their head coaches first, and they also. It's just a coincidence, they just happen to be Black, they just are Black and we put them in a graphic.
Together to show that they have. They all happen to be black together. yeah, David, get a maybe maybe. they meant to say happy to be black, yeah.
Possibly, or, yeah, here's, here's David.
Get an Ending. Racism is in honor of George Floyd. And I really hope we can see more unity and more peace when already things are so different. I watch this like once a week.
So shout out to his family. And here's the beach, bam.
And it's got the I Have a Dream. Yeah, wrong, get the confetti in the NASCAR, yeah.
He remixed MLK.
Up today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream.
Bang there it is. See a racism now, now we party, yeah.
See, like that, whoever wrote this happens to be black. They should've just been like, Dude, someone in the truck, she's been like, Hey, dude, don't you remember David Guetta? Yeah.
We, we've been through this, we done, we did.
This the graphic shows that it happened to be black, but actually, I don't see color. So who?
Knows crazy, crazy, all right, any other college basketball. I want to see what happens to be polish.
Happen to be Italian, happen to be Italian, uh, anything else. Before we talk some other sports and I do a quick yet, I think that was all college basketball. Houston Baylor was awesome.
Well, until the the one Baylor player lost the ball. Well, no, he missed a free throw and then he lost the ball and then he made a terrible foul. Um, yeah, his controller got unplugged. Uh, yeah, that was. That was one of those moments, too. I went and saw migration.
Everyone should go see it. Uh, great kids movie. And I was watching that game and, like, underneath, while my son was sitting on my lap watching a kid's movie. Being like, This fucking asshole just lost the ball, god damn it. I knew he was going to miss that foul shot.
Oh well, he was like a 57%.
A hundred percent, he bricks out every single time. Yeah, um, but yeah, that was a great game. I I I bet on. Houston's really good in that game and I got a future on them.
So I'm just rooting for them to win, no matter what. So they didn't cover then the brick, then the buzzer beater. That wasn't, wasn't what a wild ride. Yeah, it was crazy.
It was crazy, no joke, I think I might.
Have a cane sauce problem? I was raising canes the other day, getting my box combo with extra sauce on the side. Like usual, I have an order when I eat my canes, it goes. Crinkle. Cut fries, chicken fingers, the Texas toast and finish strong with the slaw. So I start eating, and before I know it, I'm scraping the bottom of my sauce.
And I wasn't even done with my fries. Yet this habit is escalating, and I'm 100 here for it. Dip into canes. Get extra sauce for me, please.
Uh, okay, other stories The Cubs are back. Cody Bellinger finally got, uh, signed, Jake.
You sent him the Uh list, right, Hank's list. I don't want to see it. Yeah, I said, Hey Cody, congrats.
On the new deal, here's Hank's full top 10 all-time Patriots list, plus honorable mentions. This is highly confidential. Only me, you and Hank have access to the full list. Okay?
Good, good, good.
No, not yet all right. You should, you should dM him across all platforms, though. Yeah, make sure.
He sees it. I followed him on Twitter, he has to fall back for me to DM, so this is on Instagram.
Okay, also, shout out this woman, Lisa. It's just a fun little story. But there's a woman who lives in a Cubs fan who lives in Arizona, named Lisa L. Dubs. Which great name, uh? She said. On Friday night or Friday afternoon. I heard that they signed Bellinger just now from a good friend who's in Arizona but can't find anything online about it. Have you heard anything?
And so everyone was like, Lisa was right, and Jeff Passan actually said like, Lisa was right, so yeah, shout out Lisa, Lisa, good, good job.
Good job, Lisa. We also, have, um, an update on the uniforms. People still debating it. We're seeing more. Cox. Uh, we saw, like, a full. Who was that?
What team was it?
Someone was bent over. Yeah, somebody was bent over and you could see, I don't know what that was. It looked like his dick was in the back, yeah.
Like, his dick was inverted. If you have, listen, if you're, if your dick is underneath your balls. And you're an M.L.B. player. And you've gotten away with it for this long, nobody knows these pants are your worst nightmare, yeah.
It's, uh, it's gotten pretty crazy, Revelle, continuing to, uh, to to carry water, he said. Spoiler alert The see-through jerseys through the pants isn't a new thing. It happens all the time on Photo Day.
And he had 10 years of the Cincinnati Reds Dong showing okay.
Spoiler alert So we had that one on here, that one queued up or somebody sent it to him like, here's a hot tip. I don't know, he just had it ready to go.
What they should do, they should, they should put, like a little blurb mosaic on the on the player's crotches all year long on TV.
Yeah, you know, let's fucking call him, cause you mentioned him so many times. Our e-sports reporter, Darren Rafael, Here we go. Uh, let's see.
I'm going to just ask him how many years he went back to look at penises through see-through pants.
He probably is not going to pick up after the last time. Well, he's kind of a glutton for punishment. What if there's a game and it's raining and someone always sends them clips of the show? How, how see-through? Are these things going to get seriously?
It's be a wet t-shirt contest.
I don't think he's picking up, he's probably looking at, he's probably going through years and years of penises. He's, yeah, he's hitting more, okay.
Yeah, I mean step one.
Make the bases bigger. Step two Make the dicks and balls more visible. Yeah, step three now.
You're the biggest sport in the world. Yeah, watch out, NFL, you did it, you did it.
Um, do we have? Do you guys have who's back? Do you have Flacco the eagle? Yeah, Flacco the owl, owl.
Sorry.
Flacco the owl, Owl eagle, Flacco the raven, he's a fuck.
Probably a brown, yeah, happens to.
Be a brown. Do you want to save it for who's back the week? We'd save it for him, we can save it.
Yeah, yeah, uh, should we? Is it time number four Patriot of all time? Are we ready?
What are you laughing about? Max happens to be a brown. It was funny. Yeah, thank you Max.
Uh, okay, ready. yeah, are you ready? I'm ready.
Okay, we think this might be. This is going to be telling, because it's reminder, it's offense, defense, offense, offense. For the top top five, can we do a quick recap so people know where we're at?
Uh, yeah, we have Dante Hightower in the five spot, we have Ty Law in the four spot. Wait, no, no, no, six, five, six, five, six, five, six, five, six, five, hold on.
Do it again. Dante Hightower in the six spot. We have Ty Law in the five spot. Okay, and the honorable.
Mentions so far are The Lighthouse and Chris Long and Bethel Johnson. Chris Long was not on it, I.
Did, uh, do some reflecting? I did some research, I did reach out to Chris. Uh, I apologize for my comments towards him. He is on the honorable mention list.
Can we make a quote card out of?
That I apologize to my comments towards Chris Long. Yeah, Hank Lockwood, because he's he heard what you said and he asked you. He's like, keep my name out your mouth, and it dawned on me that Hank has become Florio.
Hank Lockwood is doing, you're doing fan fiction, you're trying.
To get clicks off his name. Well, it wasn't fan fiction. It is a fact that, uh, he did play for the Eagles the next year and he is very good friends with Lane Johnson. So I kind of, uh. But there there was reports, there was articles that were written that he was like, he hated that. Lane Johnson said that he disputed all of the claims that Lane Johnson made. That, I kind of, you know, memory hold.
Yeah, memory hold. And I was just like, he's friends with Lane Johnson, he loved it. When he said that, he definitely agreed, not the case, and I apologize.
Also.
You forget that the Lane Johnson quote was not even the Lane Johnson quote, because we said I heard it, we said it. He had kind of agreed with it and like, not really, like Jokey agreed with it. Then Coward said that, like, did a whole segment about it, and then it just became.
FacT Yeah, it's actually kind of funny that we were the start of that story. And then Hank is somehow mad at Chris Long, Yeah.
You were sitting in the room, you got that story really wrong.
Okay, so you take it back, Chris Long, Uh, honorable, mentioned Patriot. Yes, that's good.
Uh, and then in the number four spot, okay, wait, two, six and five again, Dante had tower six, okay.
Did you watch the other two episodes? I did watch the other two, uh, I am a little upset. They kind of just yada yada uh. 2003 and 2004, which the whole series is called Dynasty. the first three episodes were great.
And then at the end of episode three, they were like, Yeah, they won in 2003, and one 2004 Dynasty happened, and it's like, Yeah, that was the.
Other two are the are what make it a dynasty. Yes, and that was, you know, they wanted a 21.
Game win streak They were dominant, there was the whole. There's a lot of lore in those two seasons with the Peyton Manning and and a lot of the playoff wins. Brady becoming, you know, a superstar that I didn't appreciate them. Just like, basically, they spent 40 minutes talking about to flake eight, five minutes, five minutes, basically. Just a quick highlight package of oh three, oh four. And I would have liked them to reverse it.
This documentary is maybe.
Not off on a great foot in terms of who's highlighting. I would have liked a I want.
Some more biased, uh, direction in this documentary. I haven't watched a documentary for the masses, which I guess is what you're supposed to do. I was just expecting pure Patriots porn, and that expecting to be, you know, days and days of of of porn, and it was just.
They just were like, Yep, they did back to back Super Bowl. A full episode on Spy Gate, basically, and I had forgotten some of the details in Spy Gate. Do you remember, like, after after the story came out, that they were they're videotaping stuff illegally? When Mancini kind of ratted them out to the New York Security? Um, the next game that the Patriots had. They brought down these giant electric boxes on the sidelines that were frequency readers to make sure that that, uh, you didn't have Ernie Adams talking to Bill Belichick during the game. They treat it like it was. It was like West Germany, East Germany in the middle of the Cold War, at rules, where they were checking into everything. And then Belichick's explanation about the Spy Gate stuff.
He's like, Yeah, you know, I had a different interpretation of what the rules were. And then they they read the rules for him. And he was like, Yeah, well, you can read it one way, we read it another way. Uh, they were just there was a lot of cheating going on the.
Um, so, uh, you know, I, I, I'm not a doctor. I just stayed at a holiday and last night I did not. I have not watched yet, I'm going to watch it. I did read a Jerry Thornton blog, though, and he was like, Why was there so much time spent on Drew Bledsoe and Bill Parcells?
Yeah, and it's like, Yeah, that is weird that they would do that and not talk about winning.
The Super Bowl, which my fear now, since, you know, it's called Dynasty. They just glossed over Dynasty part one is that they're going to gloss over Dynasty part two and then talk.
About Belichick and Brady For how many episodes are there? 10? So they can't, so there's going to.
Be a full episode on 28 to three. But they did a full episode leading up to the to What the hell?
Is this? Why do you put this on? This is Hank Florio.
People were watching on, uh, anywhere we have at Rumble YouTube. I mean, this is a great photo. Do you have to be watching? That is you right now? Right now? Hank Florio, that is the curse, that fucking nightmare image.
You look like the shadiest lawyer of all time. Hank Florio. It's like, that's a weed that actually is going to give me nightmares. That's a that's a lawyer that specializes in.
Like, driving well, stoned. Who made that? Ai Shane?
Yeah, Shane just made that. Oh my god. No, no, no, hey, I mean, I mean, send that to all of us.
I need that. Hank FLORIO Okay, so, by the way, Darren Revelle texted me back, saying, I don't believe you, so he's, he's hip to us. Did I leave you there?
What did? I was going to actually ask him a question, not hang up on him, which he's right. I would have hung up on him. Maybe no, I definitely would have.
I would have said, what, what? How many cox have you looked at to try to carry the water for Michael Rubin? And then even like, Uh, bang, would have been great, we'll get him again. Uh, okay, so Hank.
Six and five Dante I Tower. Yep, tie law.
Okay, four, four. Recurring guest. Oh, I think it's friend of the program, Great guy Jewels.
Gritty receiver basically fought through seven concussions against the Seahawks. Chris made a miraculous catch against the Falcons. Superbowl MVP against the Rams. Wow, Julian Edelman.
Wow, okay, or I think that's fair.
Okay, there's going to be a lot on Julian in this documentary. I mean, two feels like more at least three. Hank is nothing but honest with this, and I feel like, yeah, Gronk is without Brady and Gronk together.
I don't know if you get the second part of that dynasty, not Rushmore.
He is on the Mount Rushmore, all right, he deserves to be. And who's your honorable?
Mention this week or today. Oh, Chris Long, he wasn't on it. Oh, he wasn't all right.
He was on dishonorable mention. Has anyone gone from dishonorable to honorable? No. Chris Long.
Hernandez should be dishonorable. Yeah, yeah, you should do it. We haven't ruled them out of.
The list? Oh, yeah, you're right, we still have 10 through eight, it's eight to go.
Well.
He was never actually convicted, his conviction was vacated, so that's true in the eyes of the.
Law, not a murderer would be cool if he was number one of himself and he just went purely on, you know, upside. It was there, okay.
So Wednesday we'll get number three, who's defense? defense? who could it be on defense? Wilfork?
Wilfork Yeah, it's going to be Wilfork, or?
Bruschi or Vrabel? Is Hank going to have an all-white top four? Uh-oh, oh no.
Patriots.
You happen to be one. Yeah, uh-oh, oh boy. Okay hank.
You still have time to change. Oh no, you can't change it all right. Should we do?
Who's back of the week? And then we'll get to our interview.

Because I don't think this. I was in New York for a long time. Bad sports sound, shitty sports teams, bad fans. I've really enjoyed my time in Chicago, it is a great sports town.
You can feel the energy in town, around these teams, people are excited.
He literally looked online and was like, I need something for who's back? What's the last thing?
That happened, no, this is a fair. This is a bad sports town moment in my opinion. Patrick Kane, red wing First game back against Chicago I was there, there were actually a lot of red wings.
Fans there like a lot, and the first goal was very loud, like all right, so I took my son. It was incredible night.
Uh, I got a little misty eyed when they did the Kane uh video tribute. It was Chelios jersey retirement. I had to watch the Chelios jersey retirement at home because there was no chance. I was getting a four and a half year old to sit through all that we were. We went to ice cream maybe eight minutes into the first period to try to to try to prolong the staying at the game.
The Kane moment was incredible. It was like, he's everything, he's the best American hockey player, He's fucking three cups like he's just showtime.
Big moment after big moment, I saw the overtime goal, he scored overtime goal and basically got a standing out. Yeah, I mean, it's, it's.
The Blackhawks are bad right now, they've they, they're going for lottery balls. I also think there were a lot of Red Wings fans there that people don't realize. Because the first goal might be a bad sports town event, well, yeah, it could be, uh, the the first goal, Chelios retirement night, the first goal. My son stood up and cheered.
So he's actually a bad sports town because he was confused, because.
Other people were cheering. He just heard the horn and was like, That's this rocks now. Were they cheering for the goal? were they cheering for Patrick Kane, or were they cheering?
For the draft pick, both all three, I mean, Patrick Kane is like, Yeah, I get it. I sure they're, they're really bad, they're the worst team in the NHL.
Patrick Kane is the best. He had double, double standing ovation, he went out that's all fair and went back. He deserves all.
That, you know, we should do that. Once the game starts, it's like, that's where, it's like, you gotta, you know, that happens. We're tanking.
They come back and they give him the standing.
On the once the game starts, we're tanking. Oh, there was, there was a lot of Detroit sucks.
Chance going. What we should do is how Hank's doing, like the top 10 patriots, like the Dynasty in his eyes. We should do our list of top 10 guys that played for a shitty team in your town that you rooted for the hardest when they left? Yeah, I still root for Patrick Kane, not as much.
Now on the Red Wings, I did last year for the Rangers. Uh, yeah, okay, bad sports sound.
That's.
Fine, I mean, Patrick Kane is like, he's the best. I don't disagree once the game starts.
You want to win, they're so bad though, Hank, and they don't want to win, they don't want to win.
I guess, I guess, hey, it was. It's embraced debate. Give me something for celebrating.
Uh, give me something, something I need to suck weenie for celebrating, for celebrating, that's.
What we've been doing all year, idiot suck weenie. For celebrating. It's a very popular hashtag.
Yeah, dummy. It was an incredible mic, though, and we also have Box of the Year nominee, so I was lucky enough to to.
My son is going to be very jaded because he was able to get take a picture with Wayne Gretzky tonight, which is crazy. His first hockey game ever. But there was a box at the game that was Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, John McEnroe. I was only in there for like two seconds, but Dwayne, Wayne Gretzky, John McEnroe, uh, Mark Messier, Kid rock, Theo Epstein, Cindy Crawford.
It might've been Box of the Year, it would have been Jordan, too, if he was supposed to be there. Yeah, and Jordan also released a very funny video. Uh, on a golf course, and he started with. They played it on the Jumbotron at the United Center.
And he just started with, Hi, I'm Michael Jordan. It's like, Okay, we know, we know, we know, we know, dude, God.
I would have been so starstruck by kid rock, that means, oh, that means kid rock's definitely.
Getting fucked up in town tonight somewhere? My my wife was like, How long were you in there? I was like, we actually were only in there for like 90 seconds. Because I got the picture with Wayne. Gretzky said Hello. And but we had to leave, cause my son was like, kid rock.
I think he was smoking five cigars at the same time. I love that. It was so fucking smoky. There. My son was like, I want to go home, so, uh, yeah, he's a bad, my son's a bad. Sports.
He also kind of a tough moment for me. When I bought a $200 worth of 50 50 raffle tickets, he's like, what do we win? I was like, No, that's not how it works. You win, the the ability to try to get that says we, we. If we win this, we're we haven't won.
Uh, but okay, I I, I understand your sentiment. you just completely forgot. Suck weenie for celebrating. Yeah, I just. I think at some level, if you're, if you're in a game, it's so good, man.
I fucking love that guy so much, I love him. I got misty eyed. That was my who's back was sports feelings cause.
I was literally sitting there being like, God, damn it. He rocked so hard and it was like having a guy play for your team and being like that guy. Whenever there's a, whenever you need a big moment, he always delivers, there's just no better feeling as a sports fan. I hope that one guy there's like that guy will always show up when you need him to show up.
JULES Yeah, you're number four. Patriot. Uh, okay, pft.
Am I who's back? is Flacco the owl? Yes, rip kind of back. maybe not so really back dead Flacco the owl died.
RIP, unfortunately, flew into a building in New York. So if Sean McDermott needs to do like preseason pump up speech for the bills, I think he'll just do a graphic on Flacco. Um, so he, he's been, uh, capturing the hearts and minds of New Yorkers for the last, like two years. He's a Spanish owl, and, you excuse me, Eurasian, Eurasian eagle owl. he's immigrant.
Yeah, he's an immigrant and he. He escaped the Central Park Zoo in New York when somebody cut his netting in February 2023, and then he just chilled in Central Park. Like like a mascot, flying around, dining on the biggest, fattest, dirtiest rats in the world. Is there a chance? How did he die?
Did.
He leave a suicide note, How did he die? Yeah, cause like it feels like maybe he just was sick.
Of all these New Yorkers taking pictures, so I believe he flew into a building. yeah, he flew.
Into a building idiot Yeah, it's a building, dude. Uh, so they said that there was a substantial.
Hemorrhage under the sternum and in the back. Oh, they did an autopsy on this. Yeah, it's a fucking owl, yeah.
So he flew into the side of an upper West side building. Imagine being the window washer and you did, like, a great job and you're really proud. And then you, you rappel down to, like, the next floor and then Flacco, I bet you that love owl in the world.
I bet you that.
Apartment's probably going to go above. Asking now you think, so, yeah, flacco.
What if it crashed through the window? What if it broke the window? Yeah, most famous New York Desk John Lennon.
Flacco the Owl Yeah, so rip Flacco. I know everybody was really sad on on Saturday morning.
So I'm not, I don't want to, I don't want to piss off the flacco, the owl people. Very sad. I do love animals. Um, some of the reactions were a little crazy, yeah.
So I saw this one and um, I couldn't tell if it was satire, but it definitely wasn't. But it, it was great satire if it was, uh, this person said. Late last night, I saw the news that Flacco had passed away from a building collision. It seriously felt like I collided into a wall myself, just completely stunned to read those words. What an unfortunate tragedy.
RIP Flacco will miss you. Is it really a tragedy when an animal dies like the wild animal? Harambe again? I guess, yeah.
I guess, I guess I just never was a flacco guy, so it's like, I don't know. People love this, people love this fucking house. There was a vigil.
I'm not going to hate on people cause these people should enjoy. I'm a big believer in people, enjoy whatever they want to enjoy. But saying it felt like I collided into a building, too, yeah.
It's a little bit much, yeah, that was heavy, that was heavy.
So apparently he didn't break any, but this actually something's up. Oh, is it Epstein? He? It says he didn't break any bones, but he sustained massive hemorrhaging inside his body. This seems like somebody else had a hand in it. We need to check the flight logs.
Where's Hillary?
Yeah, where's she been at? Was Flacco on the list? She'd been somewhere in the woods.
Walking around this, this owl probably had information that would have led to the arrest and subsequent conviction of Hillary Clinton. Yeah, interesting. Do you think, Hillary and Bill?
Like, late at night, like Hillary's just like, So what have you been doing? Uh, maybe they had, like, there's gotta be an awkward silence at some point where you're just like, So yeah, that time you said you were going on business trip, where was that? yeah, or um?
Why did you have to put a cigar in an intern's vagina bill? That would be some really awkward.
Moments like in in their marriage, where they're just sitting there, uh, yeah, nevermind, yeah, I.
Don't want to talk about it. We don't need to get into it because I like doing the show and I hope.
None of us gets killed. Oh, no, I was saying, that's what they would say, nevermind I don't.
Want to talk about it? Yeah, um, probably, cause Bill doesn't want to get killed. Yeah, so I feel like, well, there was a hilarious Valentine's Day post from Hillary to Bill the other day.
And it was just like my valentine after all these years. And they're like smiling at each other, there's no chance they love each other, right? It's a work relation, zero percent chance that.
They're in love with each other. But yeah, Flacco, let's let justice for Flacco, I'll I'll stand with the people who, uh, listen, it's, you know, it seems fishy the fact that.
He died by flying into a window and didn't break a single bone. Yeah, and there's a lot of people.
In New York City, and there's a lot of people who, you know, they need to find an owl to be their life. Yeah, so I understand it. Yeah, no different than our sports teams.
Or Harambe, or Harambe. Yeah, yeah, that was a little murder, yeah.
A little satire, yeah.
And a little satire and shot. He was murdered, but what, what?
Wait, huh? Harambe was murdered. There's no question. Cold blood, a gorilla.
A gorilla, I feel like this owl, this owl got murdered too. Yeah, I'm going to look into it all right.
My who's back? Uh, good, who's?
Back my who's back is Cam Newton, because holy shit, don't fuck with Cam Newton. He was at he is seven on seven uh tournament. He was throwing and there was a fight video that got released and Cam Newton somehow fought off.
Well, I guess not somehow, because he's a fucking monster and a like beast of a human. Uh, he fought off three guys with his hat never being touched.
The hat never got knocked off the hat, it had the tassels on it, it remained perfect. I it. It should count as you knocking Cam Newton out if you knock his hat off.
Yeah, that's, that's the rule. Dak Prescott could never. By the way, I would like to see like next.
Rough and rowdy Logan Paul versus Cam Newton No punches, just try to steal his hat, Cam Newton.
Beat the fuck out of no punches, just try to get the hat, try to get the hat, can't be done it.
Was it he? There was one moment where he had a guy in a choke hold and then was just rag dolling another guy with his other arm. It's just awesome to see, like, you know, the I don't know how this started, but they're probably talking shit about the hat. Yeah, and these guys being like, Yeah, three on one, we can get Cam Newton and Cam Newton just being like, No, you can't, yeah.
Cam Newton is first ballot. Like, don't fuck with me guy, you would think, too.
If you were trying to fight Cam Newton, you'd be like you'd just have a quick second where you'd say, Oh, yeah. He used to do this to NFL linebackers, like, run them over, make them look like little boys, little boy ass play. Why would we try to fight? Cam Newton Yeah.
A lot of people were saying like, this might hurt any aspirations he has of a comeback. I think it helps it, I think it helps a lot. He didn't make any business decisions during this fight. No, those three guys are just idiots for picking on morons.
Cam Newton was like, six, five, six, six, probably 250 pounds. don't fuck with Cam Newton. Yeah, he's a he's a shit brick house.
Yeah, has he, has he put out a statement on it with a weird font? I don't know, maybe that was a fight over the font.
It might've been funny, Yeah, um, by the way. So we were talking about Flacco, the owl. There's been another animal that we've discussed on the show recently, the pregnant.
STINGRAY, CharlottE Oh yes, yeah, the dude in that, in where, where is it? Uh, it's in North Carolina, Hendersonville.
Okay, so yeah, the dude, the dude who works there being very nervous.
So Charlotte, the pregnant stingray, has still not given birth, which makes me think this might be a publicity stunt. Or RG three RG, exactly like, like, is she really pregnant?
And there was a great body shaming. Yeah, she might just be fat, she might've just gotten fat.
So I'm going through menopause. Add this to that call. Add this to the list of great Black sports online headlines of all time. No, no, no, it's sports online.
Who happens to be Black? Experts on if a shark had relations with a female stingray who is pregnant, even though she hasn't seen a male stingray in eight years? VIDEO That's a great headline. Shout out Robert Little Og, he's been.
On the internet for a long, one of the best ever headlines. Yeah, uh, yeah, that that we need to. We need a conclusion to this. Otherwise, she's just fat, she might just be fat.
She's fat, uh.

But I just can't get hurt because I can't, I just want to, I want to feel an injury coming.

Okay, we now welcome on two very special guests from the Boston Celtics. it is Derek White and Peyton Pritchard. First of all, thank you guys for coming by. And uh, Derek, I've met you before and I'm happy that you're here right now because you contributed to a very embarrassing moment for me.
I don't know if you even remember it, but we it was surviving. Bar stool. And I got eliminated in the first day, so I was staying at a hotel and the Celtics were playing. I think you guys were preseason, yeah, and Nick's in the preseason.
Yeah, and we got in the elevator together. And I was like, Uh, I have a podcast and my producer is a huge Celtics fan. And you just go, Yeah, I know. And I was like, Fuck, I feel like such an asshole. So, uh, I think, should we credit Blake Griffin for getting you guys to listen to PMT?
Is that who we?
Need to credit? Um, actually, my guy Paul over here, okay, he was the one that sent it to me first. And, uh, he's like, you got to watch the fastest two minutes.
And so I used to watch that, and then I was like, let me just keep watching, see what's going on. And, uh, she's been a fan.
Since so love that. So you were aware of Hank and his his, uh, Celtics fandom? Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so I knew all that. I mean, Big cat got in the elevator, but he had like headphones in. So I'm like, I don't know if I should say something, yeah.
I was thinking the same thing. We kind of stood in opposite corners of the elevator, kind of, just like, kind of looking at each other. And I was like, Uh, yeah, I'm a big fan, but, uh, I don't know what to say. It was like, I'm a big.
Fan? But I don't know what to say. When you see Hank on the sidelines with his feet on the wood, you know, like, sitting courtside are you? Like, I got to show out tonight because Hank's here, It's like, when guys see Drake on the sidelines, yeah, you always want to show off for Hank.
Yeah.
Do you guys know when you guys were in the finals, did you see Hank almost take a, uh, was that? In the finals? When he pumped, shot it, he did a pump fake with the ball, the ball rolled to him in the middle of the finals and he pumped, faked and had the whole crowd going crazy. What game was that? uh, what game was that?
Game four or five? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was a nice pump, fake.
He did the mellow. Yeah, it would've gone in. It sounds like you guys don't really.
Know the vibes that Hank's bringing to the court? I didn't see that one. We lost that game, so I.
If he shot it and went in, that would have helped. No chance. Yeah, sure, should've shot it.
Yeah, um, I want to talk to you guys about something that is I guess everyone's talking about right now. After the All-Star game, um, it was not really a game as much as it was like a lot of offense. We've figured out some ways where we can fix it. Most of them are stupid as shit and probably won't work.
And your guys had like, is there a way that you can fix the All-star game? Cause I do have one suggestion, uh, to add to it, but I want to hear you guys go first also, Derek.
You should have been an all-star. FaCTS Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That would have fixed the All-Star.
Game you would have tried hard. Yeah, yeah. So what's the fix, Peyton?
Do you think there is a?
Fix or is it just guys don't want to get injured?
Putting money up for, like, the winning team, yeah.
Well, I, my idea was that the W the losing team had to pay the winning team, cause then it's money both ways, cause then guys would actually be upset if they lost. Like they have to pay, like someone has to go and pay LeBron $500,000, yeah, so what amount per person?
I think it's.
$500 each. Yeah, yeah. It would also be very funny if Adam Silver was like, You guys, stay out of the gambling app, stay out of casinos. Also, if you're an all-star, you're forced to bet the other guy $500,000 to make our game better.
Uh, my, my suggestion would be that the winning team, everybody on that roster for the winning team gets like 10. Tags from the NBA's main account on Instagram for the rest of the year, along with a link that will allow people to slide to your DMS more easily. Like highlight reels, you get like 10 highlight reels for the rest of the year, that's pretty good. We think about the winning team, just the winning team.
Yeah, losing team gets low light reels posted, every missed shot, yeah, whatever it takes to.
Make entertaining. I was thinking, too. Losing team can't tie their shoes for the rest of the season. Do you guys think, I mean, that would probably be an injury waiting to happen? I don't like that.
Okay, all right, as long, as long as we win. Yeah, so we got the video right there.
That's.
I hate that, cause that was actually off of my turnover. Oh, no.
You're like, Who's that fucking guy? Oh man, that's very funny if you shot it and you made.
It like, instead of space like that would have been crazy, the crowd would have went nuts, they.
Can't kick you out if you make it right? No, no, if you miss. if you airball, they kick you, right.
That makes sense, yeah, I. So the other question I had to just start about the N.BA right now. The thing that people talk about a lot is the scoring is crazy right now. From your guys perspective, uh, cause you've been in the league for a little bit and you obviously have been playing basketball your whole life.
Is it a problem, or is it just everyone's so skilled that it's like we're trying on defense, but guys are just so goddamn good?
I think a little bit of both. Um, I mean, especially, like as it goes on. Like in the playoffs, like you'll see more, more defense, more um intensity on both sides, so, um, especially like in the playoffs, like there is defense. But there's just so much space now and you're giving the Star players so much room. With four shooters around them, like, it's really, really hard to stop them or slow them down.
So especially when they get in the rhythm, so it's just with the space and everything, like the rules, they way they are. Um, it's kind of, it's kind of impossible. But I mean, once the playoff starts and it gets a little bit more physical and you'll definitely slow down and that's really a different ball game.
Yeah, did you guys notice it, right? When you got to the NBA, like Peyton, you played Oregon and you get to the NB.A. And it's like, wait, everyone can make shots everywhere, because it does feel like the NBA is like every guy on the bench can make shots. For sure, I kind of noticed it, like.
In college, it's like, I don't know if you noticed it. But like, you turn the ball over in the NBA, it's almost like a guarantee. Three ball. Or, like, to the rim, right? College, you might, you know, people can miss. you also have like two or three people in college.
You can help off of, right, and you also have this no three, uh, like, three seconds in the key, right? You got a big that's just sitting there.
So I think it's way harder scoring college than it is in the NBA.
Yeah, but it's just the different rules as far as that. Yeah, and college refs also are terrible refs, that's a fact.
They just call charges everywhere. Yeah, they're just addicted to.
Calling charges. Yeah, you can say it now, like you're not in college, yeah.
You can say college refs pack 12 refs, pretty bad, yeah, and that's why they got rid of the league. They did well for us.
So we won a lot, so I didn't complain. There you go, yeah, you're a big 10 guy now.
Yeah, yeah.
You got, I mean, that's, that's real basketball, that's we're playing in like the fifties, so you got to be ready for that. Did you? Uh, my Oregon question is like, you had to hate that.
Court, Right? I mean, it's. I didn't actually notice it, but on TV and TV it looks weird. But you never noticed it playing. But I didn't mind it. Did you know, cause you played in Colorado?
Your last year, Derek, did you notice it? When you'd get there, you'd be like, This is what?
Is going on here, uh, you don't really notice it that much, but like when we had shoot around.
I was like, What are we doing? It looks dirty. Yeah, it looks like somebody spilled something.
I mean, I do look horrible on TV. yeah, it looks horrible on TV. I do like it. When it's like, you know, 10 p.m. And you got Bill Walton calling a game. And it does feel like you're taking acid with him. And you're like, Okay, this makes sense, but when it's like a primetime game, you're like, I don't want to watch this.
What's going on? That's true, yeah, Derek.
When you went to Colorado, uh, were you? Did altitude affect your shot at all? Cause I'm all I'm always thinking about altitude in terms of football, right? You always talk about the altitude games going to Denver, but it's gotta make a difference in basketball, right?
