Life after football has begun. Yeah. And to be honest with you, this is these are the bleakest days of the year, in my opinion. You know what really twisted the knife?
I don't care about baseball until baseball actually starts. Then I don't care about baseball until after the all start break. But today was the day that pitchers and catchers were supposed to report. And today was the day that Tony Cornhiser was supposed to say, the beautiful cycle of sports continues as pitchers and catchers report.
Hope springs eternal. But unfortunately for a big team like myself, they're still at the negotiating table. We're still sitting in the truck. So got the truckers just sitting there causing traffic.
Rob Manford's just got a bunch of a bunch of semis outside every stadium just parked holding up traffic. I actually, I obviously get a little sad when football ends, but a part of me is like, okay, now like kind of readjust your life because there is a lot of football. And I love college basketball. So the calm down isn't as harsh for me.
But there is always that feeling like the Monday after the Super Bowl where you sit there and you debate the game and you talk about it and legacies and all this stuff. You're like, ah, this is the last time we're going to do this for a few months. I'm just like, why? Why am I getting up in the morning when there's no football on TV anymore?
But you know what? We'll get through it together. We'll find some ways to replace it. And actually for me, the next two weeks are going to be filled with sports because these are the two weeks where I do a crash course in college basketball.
I got really into college basketball. I just, I found you have to know yourself sometimes. And I know that I can't pay attention to football the way that I pay attention to it and college basketball at the same time. I know you were able to do it.
I personally do not have the ability. This is to process all that during the fall, during like November, December. No, I don't care about college basketball unless it's like number one versus number two in a prime time game. I can refresh you real quick.
Give me anything. No, no, I want to do this somewhere. I do this every year. I get back into it.
I've got my websites that I read. It's good again. I know it's good again. But I called them frauds yesterday.
Just out of habit because they don't play in real conference. Well, I'll give you one tip about Gonzaga and it will help you because it's going to be shocking when you watch them. They are very good again. They can definitely win the title.
Chat Homegrid, the number one recruit is like the skinniest dude ever. And people get really mad because like if you watch him for the first time, your reaction is going to be, actually like you see you do this, is like this guy's going to be soft when he plays against real men. So then people are like, but his skills are so incredible. So yeah, he looks like he's going to be soft when he grinds up and gets a real guy.
It's impossible to watch him once and not be like, oh, he's going to get eaten a lot. He's really fucking good. Okay. Yeah.
I actually kind of feel that way about Pelobero. Yeah. I was so tired. How tired I was like, it's something I've never done before.
I bet I'd Cleveland State minus two against Indiana Purdue Fort Wayne, right? I'm up three with five seconds left IPFW, whatever the fuck hits the three to go to overtime. And I was like, I can't do it. It was this was a 855.
I was tapped out for overtime. I was like, I'll find out what I lost. I was like, I'll just figure it out in the morning. I literally tapped out for over for a five minute college basketball overtime.
Yeah, I was kind of blaming it. I was kind of feeling the same way yesterday. I went to go see Hasekuchi in theaters. Highly recognized.
I was like, I'm going to go see Hasekuchi in theaters. Highly recommended Lady Gaga excellent performance. Got some up at the Oscars. I fell asleep like seven times during the movie.
And as I was asleep, I was combining the storyline that I was hearing from House of Gucci with football stats from the Super Bowl. And I was waking up very, it was a combination of like football, the plays I remember from the Super Bowl running on repeat in my head and also Blackjack hands that I had been dealt over the weekend at the casino. And I was combining that into the dialogue from House of Gucci. And so I woke up and had no idea like seven times during the movie completely lost.
I probably need to see it again. But it was the end of a long 12 days. I was like, I'm not going to be a game. I'm not going to be a game player.
I'm not going to be a game player. I'm not going to be a game player. Because the most of the game I've ever heard of was a game player. And I had to take a second of my day run where my brain had just become mush.
And it's good to get out and do something to like cleanse it out a little bit, which is why I went to go see me. We just get media like injected directly into my brain. Something a little different. Try to do a flush.
That is nothing to do with sports. But it didn't work. Yeah, oh by the way I just looked it up. The game actually went to three over times.
Oh, okay. Then I was smiling. So I, then, I was smiling. Alright, let's do some Super Bowl clean up though.
Now that we've had today where do you want to start? I have a couple one-ifs. Okay, I have a couple, everyone just stop talking about this. except that it's truth.
And society, the biggest case of this, and I'm seeing everywhere, is Aaron Donald was lined up off sides on that last play of the game, the fourth in one, where he made that stop, and the refs fucking blew it, and the NFL was rigged. That was the first fourth in one of the game, in the first quarter. As everybody should know, that was a completely different off sides thing. He was off sides.
But now, I've accepted it as truth, because I've seen it pass along so many times online. So, Aaron Donald was off sides on the last play of the game that fourth in one, and there should be a full investigation to Roger Dill, who should be a rest. And Jamal Chase was open. I see the other one.
The one that drives me insane, because yes, he was opened by the definition of like, oh, he was eventually open. But there was never a point in time where Joe Burrow was standing there, and Jamal Chase was open. Yeah. Like, Jamal Chase got open well after Aaron Donald had already started ripping Joe Burrow down.
So, it's like, it's not like a situation where you're like, well, how did Joe Burrow miss him? Or even people saying, well, if he had an extra second, well, yeah, if he had an extra second for every play, the Bengals probably would have won. Yeah, why this happened? A full extra second is a long fucking time.
I get served on it. It gets Aaron Donald. Yeah, it was exceptional. It was very funny to see people be like, yeah, he was wide open.
That happens all the time. Jimmy Garoppolo is a quarterback that happens the most too. They'll take a screenshot of a play. Yeah.
And they'll be like, look, this guy was wide open. As Jimmy's getting sacked. Yeah, like he eventually was open. Yes.
But if you freeze it right when Aaron Donald starts ripping Joe Burrow to the ground, he wasn't open. It just wasn't that way. So I don't know if that's people torturing themselves. Like, don't do that to yourself, Spangled Fans.
I actually, I grew Spangled Fans, the passenger appearance call, holding call at the end was bad. It was. It absolutely was. Orange gloves made it.
Orange gloves. Julian Edelman told us. Like, yep. Orange gloves.
Bill Belichick just told them all the time. They're wearing white gloves so they can't call you for holding. Yeah. And like, so I understand the coping mechanisms that are used here that you have to go through the whole thing.
I also think if you want to do a what if? What if what if Odell Beckham doesn't get hurt? The Rams were by 10. Like, they were looking back at that game.
They had three drives. Or it might have been four drives, two pawns, two touchdowns. But the two touchdowns were very easy. One, so no Beckham goes out.
They don't do anything until that last drive. Like, they don't do anything real until that last drive of the game. Yeah. We also had the goat.
If Patrick Mahomes makes this throw with the media, he goes nuts moment, which was awesome because everyone was going to do stuff. They were going nuts about it. But Matt Stafford had a sick lookaway pass. So now it's now I'm going to flip it next year.
And when Patrick Mahomes does something, I would be like when Matt Stafford makes this throw like this, everybody goes nuts. When Pat Mahomes does it, crickets. Yeah. We're going to flip that narrative on it.
But that was a very nice throw. It was a sick throw. It was a lookaway pass. Completed it.
That was a cup, right? That was a cup. That's why the Cooper Cup, I know there was some debate about the MVP. Could give it to Aaron Donald.
Then Aaron Donald play on third down is so insane to watch. The fact that he was fully blocked and got around the offensive lineman and then grabbed P-Rine by the hips and just sat him down. He's not going to work down. He gives Joe Barrow no chance to do anything.
I still don't want to see a full all 22 angle of where the ball landed because I think P-Rine's probably getting dogged a little bit when I feel like the ball died faster than we realized. No, he landed a few yards away from us. As he was running downfield. So you can't stop, turn around, and jump.
We could see it. We could see it. Me personally, I could do it. He's running.
I'm not dying for that. It's like all his body momentum is going one way. And the ball is dying going the other. But I would have at least made it a tip that can.
Listen, me, I would put my body on the line. That's the most important catch. He's on the line. You're championships on the line.
P-Rine, obviously he's thinking about his next contract. And probably not willing to dive for a pass like that. Like I would have been as a real fan. But there's no chance he was going to get to that.
And so what I was saying is that Aaron Donald, those last two plays were insane. But Cooper Cup, the reason why, I mean, the fact that Odell Beckham goes out, the whole defense knows it's going to be Cooper Cup. There's nothing you can do about it. Credit to the Rams for finally being like, hey, let's stop throwing, running the ball for nothing.
Let's stop trying to do different plays. Let's just say, no matter what, it's Cooper Cup. And you even saw it with the fourth and one run plate that Cooper Cup had the ball. They're like, this is our best player.
He needs to have the ball. And everyone in the world knew it was going to him. And it still went to him. And he still made catches.
The stat that was crazed in me in the playoffs. Cooper Cup had in the fourth quarter of the playoffs, 12 targets, 12 receptions, 208 yards, nine first downs, two touchdowns. That's the definition of clutch. The definition of like, if you watched all these playoffs, you knew whenever the Rams needed a big play, whenever they needed a first down, it was Cooper Cup.
And it was automatic. It was literally automatic. It was 12 targets for 12 receptions. Yeah, he was definitely deserving of the MVP.
I do understand the case for Aaron Donald. Me too. Well, I have a future on both of them. And this is also just in like a stupid antiquated.
Anything that has to do with journalists, it's always antiquated in leagues. The MVP voting has to be submitted by the two minute one. Right. That's how stupid is that?
How stupid is that? I was so dumb because not only in a case like this, where it is, you could be like Aaron Donald deserved that MVP over his teammate, Cooper Cup. But what if the Bengals had won? Do they still get the MVP in Cooper Cup or is there?
Well, I think they vote for both. I think they vote for both in case. But like what happened in the Falcons Patriots game when it went over time? Yeah, I think they were just like, you know what?
We're going to get it to top right here. It's nothing. It's not Julian's. No, it was Julian.
Nothing of consequences ever happened past the two minute warning. No, it's so stupid. There's this thing called phones. Age of technology.
And how many votes are there? Probably like only 50? Yeah, there's probably like, yeah. You could just go around and get a head count.
You could just be like, yeah, hey, everyone who likes Aaron Donald put your hand up. Yeah, exactly. In the press box. But yeah, that was so stupid.
They probably have a more advanced system for ordering diet coaks with the putchman bot. They do for voting for Super Bowl MVP. Without a doubt, without a doubt, Cooper Cup does, I think, submit the best single season that receivers ever had. I know that he had extra game in the regular season.
But there's only been three triple crowns Gary Rice, Sterling Sharp and Steve Smith. He adds the Super Bowl and the fact that he was so clutch. 33 receptions, 478 yards, six touchdowns in the playoffs. Insane, absolutely insane.
And then the other thing, the other notes I had. So Joe Barrow at the party and Joe Barrow with the suit. I have no problem with Joe Barrow at the party. I don't understand what you would do there.
I don't think most people didn't. But he was singing along to Kid Cudi, he was on the stage. Like, I mean, knowing the Bengals too, their organization, like they probably paid a lot of money for something they didn't want to pay a lot of money for. You got to get everyone to the party.
Yeah, I think the owner was like, you're all going. Yeah, you all have to go. I'm not wasting my money on Mr. Cudi.
And guess what? You're all eating steak and chicken. Yep, two meals. Takes them home.
I do think in fairness, I was thinking about it. I do have to take that Cam Newton has to bring two different pairs of clothes to a game. I think Joe Barrow should have brought a losing pair of clothes to the game. Because it was sad when he was walking out with a limp, losing a Super Bowl and a Zebra suit.
The silver tiger strike. It's more for him than anyone. Like, dude, do you want to be in that right now? No chance.
Like a bruise need to slip on like suit pants? I agree with that. I think that every quarterback should have a winning suit and a losing suit. Yeah.
And it's equally, to me, as a fan of respecting the media, it's equally as disrespectful when a quarterback who just won isn't dressed up like Cruell Deville. Fast. You're like a giant hat with a feather pointing out. I want my quarterbacks to be easily identifiable.
That's the guy that won. That's the guy that lost. I don't want a winning quarterback to be wearing a tattered t-shirt and sweatpants. Yes.
Yeah, tough look for Joe, but that's fine. Joe will be back hopefully. I do find it kind of interesting how everybody's like, the Bengals are going to be back here for sure. Just say that out loud to yourself.
The Bengals are going to be back here for sure. I hope they are. I love Joe Barrow. But given who's in the AFC right now, if we said bet, you have to bet next decade, the Bengals go to X amount of Super Bowls.
What would you bet be? I wouldn't even feel comfortable saying one more. I'd say one more. But over one and a half, you'd take the under all day.
Yeah, for sure. For sure. For sure. It's not disrespectful to the Bengals.
No. I would disrespect you guys because the Chiefs are that good. The Bills are looking that good. Herbert looks great.
Lamar Jackson got forgotten about because he got injured and the Ravens got forgotten about because they all got injured. The Ravens are the most consistent, one of the most consistent franchises in the NFL. Like there is a lot of guys that are going to be really, I mean Carson Wentz. Yeah, great.
Great. Mike McDaniel looks like he's going to be a great coach. We too. No, but it's just very hard to get to these.
And just asked Emerino, who went to one one is second year. They never went back. Like it's crazy to think about how difficult it is for franchise to get to the Super Bowl. And then to be like, yeah, we'll be back for sure.
They got a lot of things they got to work with. Now, the good news is the Chiefs went to Super last year, got absolutely destroyed by the Bucks and their offensive line failed them. They rebuilt it in a year. I don't know if you could do that.
They hit on some things that you have to get a little bit lucky on. But to say the Bengals can't just figure out a way to rebuild or drastically get better on offensive line in one off season, they absolutely can't. They make a couple moves. They can't.
It's just the competition is pretty tough. We need to do one final last ranking of AFC North Quarterback. OK. As is traditional on the show, I'm going to say number one goes to Joe Burrow.
I'd agree. Number two, I'm going to give James Winston and a Steelers No, we don't say that yet. OK. Because I'm hoping for him as a commander.
Number two, I'm going to go with Ben Rothlessburg. Out of respect. Everything that was done all season. Number three, case Keenum against the Broncos.
Yes. Number four, Baker Mayfield, Winnie's healthy. Number five, Lamar. Number six, diarrhea.
Yeah, number six, Hundly. Number seven, Lamar with diarrhea. Number eight, Brandon Allen. For that one play that I thought he was going to have to come in when I thought Joe Burrow's ACL was torn.
He fucking sucks at calling one for Joe. And I looked over to you, PFT. I was like, yo, who's the backup? Brandon Allen.
We both were like, oh, wait. Number one, a Joe Nixon. Yeah. That was a sick pass.
That was a sick pass. That was another thing. And I do feel bad for Bengals fans. They should cope any way they want.
And I know that a bad call at the end of the game feels more important. The missed call on the T Higgins touchdown was very important when you think about how the Bengals weren't really moving the ball. They used a trick play to score touchdown and they had that. So I don't walk away again from this game being someone got robbed.
I would say they weren't moving the ball. They were moving the ball a little bit. They put together a couple of decent drives. But any time that you have like a 50 yard bomber, how long is that?
75 yard touchdown pass on clearly an offensive pass interference. That makes a big difference. They had a couple of nice drives. I'm just saying it wasn't like that play gets minimized.
I think if it's a track meet and everyone's scoring on every play, it's like, oh, that probably would happen anyway. I'm sure like three of those catches happen in that Ohio State Utah game. Right. Exactly.
This one, every yard was hard to get, especially in the second half for the Bengals. So I mean, there are two drives. They had a field goal drive eight plays. Yeah, think about it.
Their entire second half. They had member. They got the interception. So they had eight plays, 11 yards to get a field goal there.
They had the T-Higgins touchdown. Every other drive was punt, punt, punt, punt, and then turnover on down to end the game. So they weren't moving the ball in the second half. They were in the first half a little bit.
But that play was significant. I'm trying to think what if. Oh, so two other things, the retirement boys, Sean McVey retiring. I think that one has a little bit of merit to it.
Aaron Downward. He's a great player. He's a great player. He's a great player.
He's a great player. Aaron has a little bit of merit to it. Aaron Downward retiring has no merit to it. That is the most blatant and good for him.
The most blatant. I'm the best player in the NFL right now and my contract is outdated. Pay me money. Yeah, because right now I think he's currently due what $15 million a year for the next two years.
It sounds like a lot and it is a lot of money, but not for him. I think it's three years. He's not going to walk away from that money. He's just trying to get more money.
Right. I think he's like now like the eighth highest paid defensive player or something. It's stupid where he is compared to where he produces. That's how contracts work obviously.
But this is a very clear move by him to be like, I'm going to retire. Pay me more money and they should pay more money. I'd like to just breaking news. I'm considering retiring from podcasting in two months.
I'm going to walk away. I'm going to hang up the sticks, hang up the mics one last time unless I want to get paid more money if you want to pay more money. That's all I got. I'm up for a big deal.
Done. See, I think Sean McVay like that has a little bit of merit, but who knows? And then the only the only last thing I had. Well, two last things.
Sorry. The Rams parade is hilarious. Did you see it? I saw that LeBron James is planning the Rams parade.
Okay. The Rams parade. How long is the Rams parade? Give me a guess.
90 minutes. No length. Oh. My distance.
My distance. The trucker. Okay. It depends again if there are trucks that are.
17 miles. It is three quarters of a mile. It's three quarters of a mile. It's incredible.
This is their parade. Wait. I had to pull it up. Are the trucks actually going to go?
I don't know what they're going to walk. I don't know. Maybe they'll change it after they realize how ridiculous this is. They're going.
Their parade is going from basically outside the Los Angeles Coliseum to inside the Los Angeles Coliseum. They're going from the shrine auditorium to the Los Angeles Coliseum. That rocks. Good for them.
It's so perfect. They're just going to set up like a bunch of buses and then just have them walk across all the buses. It's not parade. It's just a party.
It's a party. It's a party. That's LeBron James. He's planning that.
He probably wants it to be less than the Lakers. So yeah. So LeBron James, well, that's the thing. The Lakers didn't really get one because it was a Disney bubble championship that they got.
So LeBron James, yesterday, logged on to Twitter as he often does. And he tweeted out, we Dodgers and Rams should all do a joint parade together with a live concert afterwards to end it. Five champions, trophy, trophy, trophy, ring ring ring, congrats. Once again, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire.
So LeBron James, King of making everything about LeBron James. That's incredible. Yeah, it is. No, I actually want LeBron to miss a Lakers game because he's attending his own championship parade with the Rams that he's co-opted into being a Lakers parade while the rest of his team has to play during the game, but only like LeBron and AD skipped the game to go to the Rams Super Bowl parade, which also honors the Lakers.
I'd like to also invite because of a COVID year all four time and five time AWL's. Please attend this parade. This will be your parade. I'm going to throw that in there.
Make sure that they get awarded as well. Yeah. Also, if we win a sports Emmy, which we're nominated for, and we, this podcast isn't really fond of awards because, I don't know, I guess we're too cool for school. We just think that like they're basically to get retweeted.
So the way that awards shows work is that they nominate people who they think will either retweet the award or they select people who are going to win based on the people that are going to show up to the award. And we're going to do either. And then they talk about the award and they talk about the network that the award is being broadcast on and it becomes just a big suck fest for everybody involved, which normally I'm all for being involved in a giant suck fest. Well, I want to be stuck.
Right. That's the problem I have. I don't want to leave with bad taste in my mouth. And we're not going to win this award.
We might, but we're taking it. We submitted. They asked for our best clip of the 2021-2022 season and we submitted John Cena getting mad at us because his friend died two days before. So I hope that they play that at the awards ceremony.
It would be awesome. And I'm sure that we lost the funniest part to me is our iHeartRadio podcast award record that we have, which is being nominated. We're the only person to be nominated every year and never have won. Or attended.
So that streak is definitely, they probably already had it. I don't even know. I never won. Yeah.
We're the awardless show. Oh, do us give them out. That's just the type of guys we are. All right.
So that, oh, the last last thing, the Stafford Hall of Fame debate. I know that it's people bringing up. I just want to clarify. I'm not saying that I think that Matt Stafford is like an incredible Hall of Fame quarterback.
My statement has simply been that his career will be there by the end. And I think this will, this will cherry on top for him. Oh, breaking news. Bill Simmons podcast, one best sports podcast.
So this week continues for sure. Yeah, Bill, is this the scene interview? Probably. Yeah.
But I think you're right. I think that Stafford is going to be a Hall of Famer. The big, you know, who actually had the best come up from this was Matt Ryan. Yes, Matt.
Because now Matt Rivers. Usually Matt Ryan and guys like him, they take, they take these ricochet shots when somebody's having to be paid about somebody online. But in this one, it's like, no, wait, Matt Ryan was a fucking awesome quarterback and has been a great quarterback for a long time and probably will be a Hall of Famer. Philip Rivers, too, if you look at his stats, just insane.
But now that Stafford has this and he is a wife guy and he's good to the media. He's good to the media. You got to ring. He's probably going to be a Hall of Fame.
Yeah, no, it's all these things actually matter. They maybe you can argue they shouldn't, but they absolutely matter. And he's, again, he's like Hall of Fame. They'll have to figure out how they judge this era.
But Matt Stafford's going to end up like top six all time in passing. So and he's also going to, no one's saying that he's right now if he retired, he would be a Hall of Famer because I think he's still probably got a little work to do. My argument was always under the assumption that he plays until he's, I don't know, like 38, 39 and he adds up, you know, it should be 45 more years. That's the assumption that might not come true though.
Yeah, who knows? Because one more years maybe is the way that the Rams are built right now. They're all in, but they've got the tiniest window. They've got, you know, that window in like the back seat of a Honda Civic that's part of the, like side window, but it's a really small sliver.
That's their window that they have right now. And the way that they're going to get hit by cap stuff, they're probably not going to, I don't know if Stafford's going to play for five years. Yeah, we'll see. I mean, maybe he'll go somewhere else and play, finish out his career.
But either way, he's going to have, it's also going to be very similar. Like everyone obviously assumes Eli Manning's the first ballot Hall of Famer. The two Super Bowls to one is the difference. But there's not going to, I mean, at the end of the day, like not Stafford and Eli Manning's numbers are going to be very similar.
Where it's like you could never argue that they were the best quarterback in the league, but they put up great numbers. They were consistent. And I think that's the best way to get back at the end of the day. He's like, he's regular season is, he's 500.
Exactly. So it's not, Matt Ryan did get an MVP though. Matt Ryan got MVP. Yeah, no Matt Ryan has absolutely a case.
That's a, people were trying to come back to me being like, so what about Matt Ryan and Phil Rivers was like, yeah, they're Hall of Famers too. It's not the argument and people are throwing Richard Sherman's quote, my face. I agree with Richard Sherman. The Hall of Fame is not what it used to be.
The passing stats have changed, like how we perceive all these things. My argument is that because of like where the Hall of Fame sits right now, guys like Matt, Stafford, Matt, Ryan, Phil Rivers, they're going to get it. They just are. Yeah, I agree with you.
I'll throw in those guys. I'll throw in those guys. Someone asked me to put my house on it. Should have, like dude, if you really think this, put your house up.
We think I don't own a house. I will. Yeah, no, you should actually, you should bet your life actually. I should bet my life because it's one of those things that I could never actually lose.
Just buy a sign I'd capsule. You could still get in. I'm saying, yeah, I'm still waiting on it. Yeah, no way to veterans committee, man.
That's gonna be the funniest part is he's gonna get in, yeah, in like 40 years and I'm gonna be screaming to no one. Told you so. All right, let's do Hotsey Cool Throne. Hotsey Cool Throne brought to you by our friends at Coors Light.

Okay. Hotsey Cool Throne. It's a four man team today. It's me, PFT, Bubba and memes, Hank and Billy and Jake are off on vacation.
Just a reminder, so everyone remembers we're on vacation as well starting after this show. Friday we have an awesome life episode, two and a half hours with Ryan Rassilla and Mark Titus. Monday is president's day. We're off.
Tuesday no show. Wednesday we'll be back. So we're really not, we're taking a holiday that's given to us and that's it. We're missing a show.
We're technically, we're not going to be here. Billy Warren has taken off for Biden. Yeah, no, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. And Dr. Donald. Yeah, and Bill Clinton.
One of his heroes. Yeah, so that's the schedule and then we have some great interviews coming when we get back. But I want to see some vacation positivity from everyone. For sure.
So I want to say from the AWLs like I want to see like, Hey, good job guys. You're going on vacation. Yeah, actually yell at yell at me if I tweet anything over the course of this weekend. Be like, go back to your vacation.
Log off. Just tell me log off. Touchgrass. Yes.
That's it. I need your support in this. Yeah, I'm going on vacation without kids. I've learned very quickly that having kids means it's a trip when you're with the kids.
It's vacation when you're without. Yep. It's moving home base when you're bringing kids with you. Yep.
Alright, Baba, hot, cool throw. My hot seat is everybody in the NBA, not named Demar DeRozan because I watched the Bulls last night for the first time and he's just turned into like the greatest player of all time. He's amazing. I turned on a game.
He had back to back possessions where he dumped on a guy and then I think he scored every point in the fourth order. Yes. He's been incredible. Yeah, he's incredible.
Are we on out of nowhere? Are we on out of nowhere? Are we going to turn back into a pumpkin watch with him? I've heard that narrative going already about Demar.
The season is like he can't keep this up. Yeah, there's regression that obviously people talk about it. He did with Taylor Rooks maybe a couple months ago where I guess his dad was really sick in the last couple of years in Toronto. He was flying from Toronto to California in all his off days and then flying back which had to have affected him.
But he's been awesome to watch so much fun. I think the Bulls as a team are kind of pumpkiting. They don't play defense since Crucion has been out. Demar DeRozan and Zachalvin also has like one of those knee injuries that just keeps lingering when it's like seeing specialists and it just never feels good.
But Demar is awesome. So much fun to watch. My cool throw is Kodak Black. Yeah.
PFT is guy. Super purgremlin. We're not Sunday conversation. It's like one of the best ones.
Was he part of the shooting though that almost killed Dave? Yeah, he got shot. Did he get shot? Yeah, he got shot.
How bad? He's alive. Yeah, he's fine. Where did he get shot?
He got shot. I think like an leg. Quick power rankings places to get shot. Back like back of the leg right here.
The fleshy part of the thigh. I mean, yeah, he's gonna put a hole on it. Over it too. I wonder, you know what?
Like what if he paid some old like Italian mafia guy to shoot him in the fleshy part of the thigh in order to get street cred for a problem that he's gonna put out. He's actually like several times but he needs the street cred. What about right here? I'm gonna start right through the that would suck you think.
Yeah, because then you can hurt. Right through your claims. The bomb part. Yeah, impact video games.
Name you got a shot. You got a fire off the wheel. Ear foot. The ear foot would suck.
I'd say top of shoulder. Ass is kind of be a pass would be careful. We have it to be lame. You can sit.
Yeah, you can sit. But it would be it would be the least hurtful, right? Yeah, probably. I don't I feel like calf calf calf muscle would be fine.
Calf maybe maybe tricep tricep would be not that bad. No tricep would be bad because then you couldn't extend your arm at all for a little bit. Then you get a sick tattoo. Yeah, my problem is my tricep tricep tricep is so small.
I'm sure we'd graze a bone if that happened. Okay, so Kodak Black's back. Cool throw. Yeah, the Sunday convo is very funny.
It's very, very funny. Go check it out. It's very good. It means you want to go?
Sure. Here we go. Memes. Thanks for everyone.
Yeah, get really talking the mic there. Is Harambe one of yours? It was going to be. Go buy the shirts.
We have now. Yeah, we put out the since he Harambe shirts too. And we got an update. There's so many sickos in this world because the death of Harambe was the best seller from a fucking ram Super Bowl.
So you talk about it a little bit. Go with the ESPN Monday night crew. I'm not see because supposedly if McVay wants out ESPN wants him in for Monday night football, Tony Romo makes 18 million same as Belljack, who's high as paid coach. So they're saying that.
Yeah, I mean, I never understood when people were like, why would McVay ever want to do this? I don't know. Why would he want to work like 100th of the amount of hours in time and stress for more money? Yeah, I think that's a pretty good deal.
We were talking about this the other day and a lot of coaches, they keep coaching when they don't have to just because they want to be away from their families. But in McVay's case, he doesn't have a family. He's getting married this summer. Yeah.
So now he's like, I'd love to spend all the time with my hot girlfriend and just with my boys chilling. So he's in a position where he wants to stop coaching, get paid a shitload of money, go on TV. It makes a lot of sense. Now, what would happen if the Manning said we want to do the booth?
Would they like relegate McVay? McVay would do the Manning cast? And we'll move to Hartford. Yeah.
McVay would do is they'd be like, hey, we'll get McVay and all the Gruden's to do the Manning cast together. Yeah. And it'll just be the Gruden show. All like the normies with love McVay just reference it like random plays from five years ago.
Yeah. Oh my God. Oh my God. Yes.
Yes. Okay. You're cool. Throw net locker room.
We're surrounded by like each other now. Yeah. Ben Simmons no longer mental health patient. Good to go.
I'm very happy for Ben Simmons. Yep. Who knows what the fuck is going to happen between him and James Harden, but it is also very funny that James Harden didn't sign his extension. Yeah.
