We have a twofer for the people. We're talking college hoops with our good friend John Fanta, Johnny Fanta. Conference Championship week. We also have Pete Prisco on to talk a little NFL free agency.

Two Italians today.

Two Italians.

Double dipping the gabagool.

A lot of Italians on today's show, we're going to talk some NFL free agency. We got Hot seat, Cool throne, we got guys on chicks.

Summer is the best way to run the way you want, dial it up with new challenges and programs, and bring your workouts with you. To make the most of outside sunny days with the beautiful summer weather, I've been trying to stay consistent with my fitness just to stay in shape for beach season. Summer is the best time to push your pace, It's the time to move how you want, enhance your fitness journey and feel like your most empowered self.

Okay, let's go.

I got a standing on a corner. Jameis Winston Cuyahoga.

Oh, I like that, I like that. Jameis Winston's on the Browns.

It's the river, the river, that caught on fire in Cleveland at one time.

Barea is where the practice facility is, the facility is.

Yeah, I like Cuyahoga, maybe standing on the shore of Jameis Winston, Cuyahoga. Yeah, standing on the shore of Jameis, Winston, Cuyahoga.

Jameis Winston is a brown. We got NFL free agency, we're going to get into a lot more detail with Pete Prisco, but I think Jameis signing.

With the Browns, that puts a nail in the Joe Flacco discussion, right? It's like, Joe, Yeah, I think they brought in Jameis because they could have re-signed Joe Flacco. I think Flacco was too popular.

Jameis is going to be the most popular.

That's what they don't understand is that Jameis is. Maybe some of Jameis leadership qualities will rub off. That's probably a bad choice of terms. Maybe some of Jameis. Winston's leadership qualities will motivate Deshaun Watson to be a better human being.

I'm happy for Jameis Winston, No.

I'm very happy.

He wanted a place. And guess what, Deshaun Watson might not play the whole season, so we might get some Jameis for the Browns. That's chaotic, good.

It is, it's good, I like. It. Sounds like he got a good deal too, like $8 million for a year. Now, all he has to do is wait.

He should have been Kirk Cousins, who's now made over $400 million in his NFL career.

Well, maybe so. He's made like, what is it? $230, something million? And he's got $100 million in guaranteed money. He's probably going to eclipse $400 million over the course of his career. It's crazy.

Yeah, incredible, incredible. I mean, like, whatever you want to say about Kirk Cousins, the quarterback, he has played every single thing right when it comes to, uh, free agency and the teams he picked. Cause I was thinking about it.

Yeah, I think, I think he's going to be a good quarterback for him. I think it's a good fit for both sides. And he's got. He's getting 62 and a half million in cash this year, yeah.

One playoff win.

One playoff win.

He only has one, I thought he had two. Oh no.

Cause that wasn't the The Minneapolis miracle was. Uh, what's his name?

Case Keenum.

Yeah, yeah.

And we also had. One of my favorite parts of free agency is when guys go to teams that just make sense. Derek Henry to the Ravens just makes sense, and I'll say it, even though they're rivals, Patrick Queen is going to be perfect as a stealer.

Yeah, it's going to be good. They they lost a Queen, but they got a king, yeah, the N.FL.

There we go.

That's the new tagline. Yeah, uh. Adam Schefter tweeted out the breaking news about UM, about Derek Henry and Patrick Queen, and just said the NFL.

I feel like the Ravens have lost every player. Have they? They lost Gus Lyman, They lost Gus, They lost Patrick Queen. I think they lost a safety.

We got great, we're zigging while everyone else zags.

The two of us in Max, we all got new running backs, uh, DeAndre Swift, you got Austin Eckler Max, you got Saquon Barkley. How are we feeling about it?

Dead to me.

You are a loser.

Tiki Barber is dead to us.

I, I don't know where. Like, Okay, no, let's get him on, let me say this as nice as possible.

Tiki Barber, you're dead to us until you come on. Part of my take.

Well, here's I have a quote from Tiki Barber after he retired with the Giants. So Tiki Barber took offense to the fact that Saquon Barkley went to the Eagles and said, You're dead to me, Uh, you can't do that, you can't go from the Giants to Eagles.

No, you're not the guy. No, that we can go down that road, tiki.

But you're not, you're not the guy to talk about loyalty. That was a crazy reaction by him.

It was nuts. I get the hatred of your division rivals, but at the same time it's like you played running back. You know that running backs aren't getting paid. How are you going to shame a guy for getting paid? More money to go play? The Giants could have given more money last year.

Saquon literally said it. He's like, I wanted more, like they find someone gave me the money I was looking for.

It's going to be so sick to see Phillies fans, uh, or, excuse me, Eagles fans in the stands next year wearing like Barkley Sixers jerseys for Saquon.

And also it works. Cause Penn State, yeah, you got the, you know, a lot of a lot of Penn State fans, Diehard Saquon fans, Eagles fans. So Max, how are you feeling?

No, it's a it's the new market inefficiency. Big cat. Our. Our teams are smart, we saw every other team in the NFL wasn't willing to pay running backs.

I also saw there's something about the cat. There's a reason for that that, like, went up, went up, so cap, went up. So this is actually in the amount that running backs are getting paid are actually in line with the cap percentage. Oh, um, yep.

What about inflation, too? Does that help? Like, is Joe Biden good for running backs?

Probably.

We can make that argument, we can go down that line. Yeah, probably. Max, I saw that you also got you got a fantastic new piece of memorabilia.

Yeah, no, it rocks.

So how much did you pay for that can of soup?

Um, that's it was gifted to me.

Okay, okay, are you going to drink it?

Drink it.

Yeah, like, shotgun it, you should. Jason Kelsey would shotgun that soup.

I don't think you can shotgun, I would drink it, you can shotgun anything.

Yeah, you can shotgun a can of soup.

I don't know how big does that hole have to be.

A pretty big, big hole.

But it was just, Yeah, I mean, I was shocked I'd shotgun that soup. It's great, I mean, it's a great looking can, great looking.

Yeah, don't eat that.

Don't eat that, no, you should shotgun it, he would want you to shotgun it.

It is like a collectible. It's awesome. Yeah, shout out Campbell sending me that soup, it's awesome.

This reminds me of my favorite football player.

All right, so who else? So saquon, you're pumped? Yeah, I mean, Saquon is. I've watched Saquon since he was in college.

Agreed.

And it sucked having him on the Giants the past x amount of years because he was like such a fan favorite at Penn State. And then when you get them, like, I've always been a. I don't want to pay a running back, don't want to pay a running back guy, but then when you pay the running back and the running back. Saquon Barkley, you just get to watch so many fun highlights.

Yeah.

I mean, like, that's the really the best part of Saquon is like, yesterday, I spent so much time just watching Saquon highlights.

He's got great highlights, too, yeah.

He's awesome and he's the best. I'm so excited.

I like the Swift signing too, because Swift was awesome last year for you guys. Max, you know that, and I think that this is good. It's like, if you've got to pay a running back, I think he's one guy that you should pay.

And it's also like, Yes, Saquon is getting older, but he's played behind the worst offensive line every year of his career and he's going to the Eagles. That like, there's some stat that Saquon had the highest percentage of like plays hit behind the line of scrimmage at DeAndre Swift at the least amount of plays hit behind the line of scrimmage. So it's like we could see a Saquon that we haven't seen before.

Do you think Saquon is going to be good for the tush push? I think he might be.

He might be.

Yeah, get behind Jalen and have that ass start working.

I saw a picture of a side-by-side of both Jalen and Saquon's quads. Ass for days. Great, great, great set of legs on those two fellas quads for days, yeah.

There's also a weird rumor going on out there. Jamar Chase has kind of fed into it a little bit, he said. I can't wait to tell this story. It's going to be crazy one day, oh.

Which I love.

A lot of people are thinking, Kirk Cousins leaves Minnesota. Justin Jefferson's not going to be too happy about that.

Oh.

Maybe get a little LSU?

Steve Higgins is looking for a trade as well.

Maybe get a little LSU reunion?

Could you imagine Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase with Joe Burrow? I can't, I can't even imagine.

I can't, I don't know, I can't even.

Can't even imagine it. Yeah, we have all these deals going left and right. My approach for free agency is just if the bears sign someone, I'm like, Yes, they're back, and then anyone else signs them. It's an overpay.

I'm kind of the same way. My friend J.P. Finlay in D.C. tweeted this out today. When the commanders have added. Like, five defensive players that are all like, nice, maybe like average, slightly above average.

10 million, 12 million dollar deal.

And JP's like, I love this, keep hitting singles, Yeah, it's right, yeah.

Yeah, anyone who's anyone who's signing for less than three years and less than 15 million dollars, it's literally like, great signing, great veteran.

Veteran depth is important in this league.

Yeah, so yeah, it's fun to just what.

Patriots might've solved their QB problem.

Oh yeah, Jacoby reset, yeah.

He's a great player.

That is a good backup. Yeah, that's a very good backup. I don't know Bears Twitter's freaking out right now because Justin Fields, let's just say that.

And the dome?

Might've overrated the fact, might've overrated Justin Fields a little bit and his contract teams don't want to trade for him. But now there's this idea that they're going to keep Justin Fields and draft Caleb Williams. I am very much opposed to that, but that feels like what a potential situation to get the most value out of Justin Fields.

So I, I brought that up a few months ago.

And I said, I didn't like that.

And you said, big cat's been consistent, but big cat? What was my point when I did bring it up was that was that there will be an injury.

Yeah, no, of course.

And then his value is going to go up.

It still makes no sense.

It doesn't make. Oh, by the way, did you see, um, the player in Arkansas state who's named Caleb Fields? No, yeah, and then there's a jersey. There's another guy that's on, I think he's on Fairfield, also named Caleb Fields.

Got a lot of them going on.

This debate just lives.

It would, the city of Chicago can't handle having those two guys on the same roster, it would not be good, let alone the locker room. But yeah, I obviously, if if Ryan Pohl's like, I want to get the most value out of Justin Fields, you keep them, yeah.

Maybe two quarterback system, didn't they do that with Spencer, Rattler and Caleb Williams, and everyone was like, Play Caleb.

It was more, Caleb came in and was way better. Yeah, oh yeah, this guy's really good.

Yeah, the fans were like, Play Caleb.

I just, this is just too much hand-wringing, too many signings, too many trades happening, and none of them are Justin Fields, yeah.

Hank brings up a good point, though. The Dome, the Dome in Chicago. Kurt Warner's smiling, his head is spinning. He's so excited about this. Bear weather is dead.

I wanted a retractable dome and open it whenever it's bad weather. Yes, like, that's what, that's what they should do. If I had a team, that's what I would do. I would, I would have a retractable dome.

It also just gives so much material to Packers fans.

Well, they're never going to, they're never going to build a stadium.

Vikings.

I know.

Bears.

Yeah.

Dome.

Yeah, yeah.

It's true, Packers put a leg up. Yeah, although they're never going to be, they're never going to build a stadium, so it doesn't even matter.

With the winners in Chicago, it's almost like, also traffic, it doesn't. Yeah. Bear weather might not be as impactful 10 10 years from now.

Yeah, I had it for my cool throne.

The winner has been awesome here.

The bear weather is literally a polar bear sitting on a little ice cap.

Yeah.

Coca-cola in his hand, looking cute as fuck, about to eat a seal.

Yeah.

Like, don't, don't, don't eat that seal. I always feel bad for the seals.

No, it's that they're moving forward, though. What, what else do they have to do?

Who, who fucking knows? They keep saying that about everything. It's going to take forever, and they're probably gonna change it seven more times, and they're going to. It's going to cost us all a shitload of money.

I think billionaires should pay for their own fucking stadium.

Agreed, that's a spicy tip.

I know, bleep that out, please get a show.

Is your owner even a billionaire?

What is what'd you say?

Are you guys even a billionaires? Uh, I mean, don't you guys like broke boys?

No, I mean, the the Bears are worth multiple billions of dollars, so if they, they are technically billionaires by assets.

But not billionaires.

Oh, no, they don't got cash in the bank.

Okay, no.

Virginia McCaskey goes to the-.

Like, she couldn't pay for her own fucking stadium.

She's got like, Yeah, she's got like 6,000 bucks in there. Yeah, yeah.

Could your owner? Yeah, did he. He spent all that money on the lighthouse.

That's how he got the team in the first place.

Did he pay for his own stadium?

In a way.

I don't know, I'm actually asking, Did he? I don't know, I don't know the answer to that.

I'm sure I don't think any billionaires ever paid for their own stadium.

No, they never do.

But he did buy the the the property which-.

Oh, that's right to the way that he, the way that he got the money was, he bought the parking lot next to the stadium, right?

No, he bought the deed to the property.

Yeah.

The parking lot.

So that if a team was going to buy the team, they're going to have to pay him to operate the whatever stadium.

He's a parking lot billionaire.

So the NFL was like, we'd rather just sell it to you rather than give money.

The key to any new stadium is just two words hotel tax, that's what you just always got to say, we're going to tax the hotels. No one here is like, Oh, fuck.

What the hell?

Yeah, right, it's like tax hotels each, each hotel gets taxed. Play monopoly now.

Yeah, are the dolphins okay?

I don't think so.

I don't think they're okay, I think they're in like, crisis mode, yeah, like Britney Spears shaving her head.

Tyreek also was in another Tyreek Hill, his headlines, They're like mad libs. Now, where it's every month, it's like Tyreek Hill was at a concert and pushed a woman. Tyreek Hill was, uh, waiting in line at McDonald's and got in a fight with a seven year old boy.

73 kids in the last year.

Every headline, I'm just like, Okay, maybe this happened.

No, he's, he's become like the funniest headline guy by far. There was, you remember, that graphic of, uh, like all of his ex-girlfriends and baby mamas, yeah, and they all looked exactly the same.

What, what was the I got to find the most recent one?

Tyreek Hill broke, uh, the woman's leg only fans models leg in backyard football practice.

After getting beat, yeah, like in response to getting smoked.

Tyreek Tyreek Hill gets cooked on a go route, breaks plus size only fan models leg in revenge drill. Yeah.

Tyreek Hill gets crossed up on a basketball court, kicks a dog in the face. Yeah, being sued.

Tyreek Hill Assassinates Archduke, Franz Ferdinand.

Okay, here it is. Here's the most recent one, uh. Tyreek Hill and heated clash at Atlanta comedy gig escalates after his exit. So it sounds like it was.

So yeah, unlucky guy.

Unlucky guy. Um, any other free agency stuff? I just, Yeah, it really is. Just watch, watch the deals, and if your rival gets a deal, you're like, that was an overpay.

We've had some time to digest the Russell Wilson signing. I don't hate it, I still don't hate it. I think he's cheap.

I'm still in, like, a, uh, it doesn't change anything.

I think he's cheap, I think it's a good division.

And speaking of Schefter saying when he did note that Russell Wilson signed a team friendly deal.

Yep, I like that.

He had no other option, team friendly deal.

He's getting paid a shitload. What are the Broncos doing, by the way? Do the Broncos have a plan at quarterback?

No, I think they're going to gut it too.

Yeah, they have everything.

What were you gonna say? Max? Uh, I was gonna say we didn't bring up Brian Burns. Oh, Brian Burns, Yes, we. we bring it up with Prisco, but Brian Burns. The Panthers new regime is just as bad as the old one.

Yep, so smart, awesome, smart work.

Great job.

Uh, the the Vikings signed Sam Darnold.

How stupid is that? But just one last thing, the old regime. If you get two first round picks for anyone, you should take it because then it just extends your job. Yeah, you're like, I have the picks.

Cause then you're going to, yeah, you're going to see how those guys develop.

Yeah.

There's only a handful of people in the N.F.L. that are worth two first round picks, yeah.

How many first round picks would Patrick Mahomes be worth? Seriously? All of them seven.

So the-.

Would it be seven?

Maybe the problem with Patrick Mahomes is that he's become. He's so good at playing football that on an open market, I don't think any football team could afford to pay him to play football.

Yeah, seven.

Seven, seven first round picks. And then probably give him a another like 600 million.

Yeah.

On top of that, that's probably fair, yeah. Patrick Mahomes.

On top of that, uh, yeah, so yeah, you were saying Sam Darnold to the Vikings.

Vikings Is he going to be the starter?

I think he might, although no, the Vikings, it feels like they're going to draft a quarterback.

The Mono Napolis Vikings, Yeah.

That that'll go right off the tongue. No, they're going to draft a quarterback. I feel like the Raiders signing Gardner Minshew, Vikings signing Sam Darnold. It doesn't. I think that's the plan is. We needed, like someone, if the draft doesn't go our way, to be to be sitting here and be like that guy's played quarterback before.

Jimmy G could be that guy.

That's always a smart strategy, just to get someone in the room being like, you know, he has played to go over set to the Patriots.

He's played pretty well, might be the best backup quarterback.

Yeah, the Vikings have the 11th pick, and, uh, the Raiders have the 13th pick. That feels like that could easily be Michael Penix, Bo Nix, J.J. McCarthy.

Yep, we're in that zone.

Yeah, all right, what else? We got? College basketball going crazy. Congratulations to the James Madison Dukes for punching their ticket.

We're dancing baby.

Beat the fuck out of Arkansas state.

Crushed Arkansas state.

Who could root for that?

It wasn't even close. Some people were saying that they were going to spank that ass before the game. No, no, no, the Red Wolves didn't stand a chance. JMU is a really good team.

I'm just watching some of the shittiest basketball get played. I was watching, Uh, Towson, I think, last night, and, uh, was it Towson? No, no, Towson.

It is good, it's good.

Good ass basketball, I'm watching.

I can't wait. I have a pre-fire fest I told you guys about. But I want to say it out loud because I I'm trying to manifest against this happening. I have to be at a wedding that I committed to, like, eight months ago. Unfortunately, it's the Friday of March madness, which is bad timing in general to have a wedding.

I'm rooting for you.

If I have to watch it on my iPhone, we're going to lose that game, that's how it's going to go.

My pre-fire fest is, I think, and this is a little egotistical, but I do think that, uh, we've seen it. Maybe with the NFL scheduling when they throw what we played on Thursday night. And then I think the what two years ago, the Bears played the Patriots on Monday night. A little egotistical. But I do think they could potentially have Wisconsin play JMU in the first round and Wisconsin would lose that game. Ooh, that'd be fun, without a doubt.

Is there somebody in that room that's an awl?

I don't want it, Wisconsin's going to lose whoever they play in the first round, so I'd rather not.

Cause JMU is.

Although maybe that'd be a great friend move be like, here, here's a bye.

Here's a win, uh, JMU's slotted to be like an 11 or 12, Wisconsin would probably be a six.

Six, but they when they lose in the first round of the Big 10 tournament, there'll be a seven. So that might end it right there. I could, actually. I think they will be a seven because they they've just played so bad. There's there, it's really a bummer.

Did he bet on Wisconsin?

No, he goes. I was like, I don't want like, we're going to lose, it doesn't matter we, we stink, we're playing bad basketball. And Max was like, Nah, you'll still believe.

Max You gotta, you gotta put a substantial bet on Wisconsin.

That would be literally burning money. I didn't say believe, I said you were like, I just want to get it over with right away. Have them lose. But 11 a.m. on Thursday.

Yeah.

It's pug ready for the world.

It's pug ready for prime time.

Do you know Hank saying No? I was? I was watching the game with, uh, the nothing pugs, just, Uh, he's, he's, he's, he's a nice pug. But I was watching the best part, Villanova, Creighton with them. And I was. I was trying to fire him up and and and trying to get him fired up on Max, he's just too nice.

I feel like Pug is like his best.

He's like the anti-max with his, with his, he's a normal fan, not over the top.

I like the idea also that it's like, choose your own adventure behind the scenes with Pug. If you're a listener of this show, you get to imagine Pug and what he would be like watching sports. And I don't want to take that away from people.

Ooh, could we maybe get like a microphone set up, uh, behind, like he could hold a microphone behind the cameras? He could just be like, let's go good shot pug that I like a lot.

He's like the wizard of Oz, but yeah, the man behind the curtain.

Go pirate it pug.

Damn it.

Pug, pug, Yeah, just over and over pug.

Does anybody know where the tradition of cutting down the nets started?

Hmm, probably by Jim Nance.

Yeah.

He started every March.

I know it used to be sponsored by Warner to the official ladder of the NCAA. But 1947 N.C. State, U.H. won the Southern Conference Championship. And Wolfpack coach Everett Case had his players hoist them up so he could cut down the net to keep as a souvenir.

Do you remember the first time that you were like, that's so cool that they have, uh, cut down the nets, like as a kid, yeah, when was it?

It was, it was actually Duke when Duke won the Natty in, Like, 1991, I think.

Okay.

Yeah, I remember seeing that. I'm like, that's awesome, I want to cut down a net, I think. Fun story.

I cut down the net. 2019 America's Championship when Vermont won.

Oh, they let you cut down the net.

I'll send you out the picture.

I remember, uh, it was when, uh, Syracuse made the final four in 95 96 season and John Wallace got off the uh. He got off the bus with the net in his head, like dangling out of his hat.

That's cool.

And I was like, That's fucking cool.

That's awesome, yeah.

Like that, that that rocks.

Jake isn't that a bit unprofessional, though? Like, as a journalist, you should not be cutting down the net.

You're a traveling member of the team. I think it's valid. Think about it. They get rings.

I don't know.

Where is that net?

It's in my house in Florida, somewhere that you don't know.

I don't know, holy shit, come on, Jake.

But no, think about the voices of the teams, like they get rings.

I don't know you're journalists.

No, that's a different.

No, they're, they're the hometown voice, so they get, they get to be. It's like Hawkeye or Harrelson cutting down the net for CBS. I bet you he's tried.

Definitely.

Wait, is this No? Last year was his last one.

Yeah, no, Jim is. Yeah. So who do we have?

Ian Eagle next up?

We got Ian Eagle. Yeah, okay.

Um, all right.

Let's Noah's probably going to do the nit.

Nah, he's NBC.

Wow, oh okay. Of course, I screwed up my networks.

How could you?

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.

I forgot to mention, too. So the Chili stream we're going to be doing on Thursday and then tomorrow we're finally doing it. The pancake bet five o'clock central. We will be going into the gambling cave.

So I have 12.

Hank Light Work, Zero Remember Comedy.

Yeah, that's right, that's right. So wash memes. You don't strike me as much of an eater.

I can eat.

Oh, are you going to lap somebody?

I've been watching Matt Stoney videos, okay, pancakes, he ate like 118 in eight minutes. I'm a little worried, though, memes, because I've he might be the goat Matt Stoney.

Joey Chestnut is the hot dog goat, but Stoney's like career across multiple foods is undeniable.

Okay, I am not very familiar with Matt Stoney's work.

I went to a cake eating competition with Caleb once.

Oh yeah.

And he ate.

What was that like?

A lot of cake and then, like a strip mall.

I love it, they're always in the worst spot.

Maybe 50 people watching, yeah.

They're always in the worst spots. I'm a little worried, though, because I have been sensing and this is just a little bit of a feeling, Oh, hey, you're right here.

Water go down, yeah, drinking problem.

Water Matt Stoney pound that water memes has lost a little bit of his dog, the dog in him. So I'm worried about this pancake stream.

Why doesn't have as much dog? You don't think? Why not?

Just based off pickup basketball. I was screaming at him on Friday, we're on the same team and he just wasn't. He was so passive and I was like, You're fucking good at basketball, dude, shoot.

I think Memes might be the most underrated, unexpected athlete of all time.

He's got great Euro stuff. Yeah, memes. What would you say to the people saying you don't have dog left? You? I'd say, watch the stream.

How many hours set over under?

Are you going to beat Max? Uh, maybe yes.

How many hours?

I'm going to set three, three hours, what? so in three hours you're going to eat 21 pancakes, yeah.

Oh, really, yeah.

KB's teaching them how to lift.

I love that. Are we doing? are we doing Olympic style?

Uh, I don't know, I KB was teaching him how to bench press. That's not true, I watched, that's not true.

I did that once, that's great.

That's great, Hank, how's Dunking going?

Oh, it's good, I'm, I'm, I'm basically started this week or last week.

You basically started this week or last week.

What does basically started mean?

I have a program, uh, and I ordered a bunch of equipment. Some of it's here, not all of it's here, so not everything on the program I can do. But I've been going through the motion plotted jump rope. Uh, I'm talking to a trainer next week to get my baseline and what my vertical is.

Will we give the ad money back when you can't dunk?

I even forget what the terms of the bets were like. How much money do you? doesn't matter.

He's not going to dunk.

It's like 2000.

That's not it at all.

Something like that.

I'm pretty sure it's 10 and five, 10 k and five k.

I think it might be 20 and 10.

And he could, he could, he could hit all the threes, you could have 25 threes in a row.

And that's true.

Tune into PMTV this week.

Don't tune in.

Hank and I have a very bad visual.

Don't tune in.

Turns out, um, we're not in shape and we probably wouldn't last long. Wow, fuck, let's say we wouldn't last long on a Rick Pitino team.

Nope, we can't say that.

Damn it, damn it. Oh, the stalker did text me, just an update. People were wondering what happened.

Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick tock. Come clean. I'm not going to make it, I'm not going to say it.

He said it, we didn't.

I'm not going to say this, this guy sounds like he's a Pitino hater.

A little bit.

He's like, setting us up for these jokes, guess what? Come clean, tick, tock. I'm not going to go there.

We're not going to fall for it.

We're Rick Pitino's guys, and you know what if this guy wants us to meet somewhere? Because I'd like to settle his hash for? Apparently going against coach, Yeah, this guy sounds like he's a hater.

I agree.

How about that?

Uh, hank, you want to give us your final patriot number seven? And it's the end of the Dynasty documentary this Friday, right? Yeah, yeah, that'll be it.

My guess is that they're going to start by showing two minutes of the RAM Super Bowl, maybe less.

It was very boring.

It's going to be like, Oh, we want another Super Bowl and then just go into drama, which is again.

The breakup?

Kind of ridiculous, but it will be very breakup focused.

I want to know what the Malcolm Butler thing is. Or whatever decision that it says, like Belichick divides the locker room with a questionable decision.

Oh yeah, cause I guess so that that is the next game, so there'll be a lot of focus. It'll be. It'll be way more time when we spent on the Eagles loss than the Rams, which is nonsense.

How did Nick Foles do in that game? and also Nick Foles caught a pass.

Brady didn't, but they're going to basically say that Brady played out of mind. He had an unbelievable performance. Except for the reason they lost is because Belichick bench Malcolm Butler, which might be true.

And he fumbled.

But they're not, they're going to focus. Listen, Mack, you're not listening.

Yeah, listen, Max.

They're going to, they're going to shape the documentary, like Brady put out of his mind, The Patriots lost because of Belichick. Then they're going to be like, and we want to Super Bowl the next year, and then it's going to be all drama.

I haven't watched a single one of these, I will probably tune into that one. Yeah, you got to, yeah.

Okay.

We're done with this.

Like, we should do.

Don't worry, this is it.

We should do it, we should do one where it's like Hank's biggest mistakes, leaving these people out.

All right, go ahead, hank.

Adminitary.

Oh yeah.

This was the one I again, I said, you know, after watching it, I wish I I probably would have changed some things. But he was, you know, won the Raiders game, won two Super Bowls. Most clutch kicker of all time. But if he doesn't go in the Hall of Fame as a patriot, then that changes everything.

So I got pushed back, I got pushed back from that. Just because there was a Colts fan who was like, Um, he played more games for the Colts and he hit the, you know, he broke the record with the Colts. If you think about why adminitary is getting into the Super Bowl, obviously his longevity is incredible. Three Super Bowls, all that, it's the Raiders kick and the Rams kick.

And he had a game winner against the Panthers.

Right game winner against the Panthers and he had, I think he had two kicks against the Raiders, right?

Yeah, to go into overtime and in overtime.

And to win it, yeah, he's got the more iconic moments, but then the way that he was talking, like he might be the one that he hates him.

Yeah.

He might have given the football, he might've told the Colts. If you get your hands on a football, keep it and measure the air pressure.

Yeah, and it seemed that way.

Yeah, it seemed that way.

So you got, you got a rat on your list.

Yeah, I would change it if I could, but I. The list has been locked in for for. Before I watched an episode of the documentary.

That's true, yeah. So we'll get the man of integrity.

Uh, honorable mention. Last honorable mention.

Matthew Slater.

Oh, nice, fair, a little shout out. Okay, good job, Hank.

Before we do hot seat, cool throne, I feel like we should talk about this now. Um, I, I let you guys know, like a week and a half ago, that this was a possibility. And it seems like the New York Times is about to report on it. So I wanted to scoop the New York Times, so I just tweeted, or, excuse me, um, my dead dog, Leroy just tweeted it out.

I still don't under. When you told it to me two weeks ago, I processed it and then I was like, that doesn't make any sense. But I'm not saying that you're wrong, I'm saying I still just don't understand it.

It's going to be hilarious if it does happen.

But how?

There's no way, how, how.

He's so, he's being considered and is considering the opportunity right now.

So so, the answer is he won't.

So the second the story breaks, he will say he's not doing, he just wants, he just wants.

People to think he, he wants it to be known, that he was considered.

Maybe, but I'm just I'm allowing my mind to go further down the rabbit hole and think about how funny it would be.

But he's going to play football.

That's the Pft in you.

If he has to leave practice to like attend a debate, or if he has to miss, like the AFC Championship game, because of he's getting inaugurated.

But he wouldn't do that, he would play football.

Probably yes.

That's the part that, just like he would, he just wants everyone to know that he was being considered is what it boils down to. What if he quits football? I don't think he's quitting football.

Meme said No.

I mean, he's got unfinished business. Yeah, I mean, he almost quit for jeopardy, but he wouldn't quit football for a a bid at vice president that will never win in a million years.
