Thread trade deadline too for the NHL trade deadline for the NHL today we’ll we’ll monitor uh although pretty much everybody’s gone now right y we’ll touch on that too cuz those prices were insane yeah prices were pretty wild the price of a brick went up uh SPO some sad news
For you man now now you do you do a little anime podcast yeah SPO re speaks yeah shout out check it out check it out but uh some sad news in the anime world yeah it was uh it was announced last night that uh earlier in the week a
Curator Yama had passed because of a hematoma in his brain and if you don’t know who that is Akira Toriyama is the creator illustrator and author of the Dragon Ball series damn so yeah he is a he’s a legend he’s a legend in the world
Of anime he’s a legend in the world of manga and it’s tough man it’s tough he did a lot for a lot of people you know he the genre did a lot for the genre a lot for the culture he is single-handedly responsible for creating the most impactful and recognizable
Anime character in the history of anything in Goku and um man it sucks he did he did a lot for my childhood you know shap a lot of the stuff I watched growing up so it the world’s not going to be the same without him um super is
Is amazing to if you read Dragon Ball super it’s it’s really amazing where it’s at right now so to to see who picks that up or where it gets picked up is going to be a a different story for a different time but just rip to Aira
Toriyama he is definitely one of the goats in the Manga and Anime World and he will be sadly missed no and and normally like I know like we we like you know you and I joke about your anime love and stuff like that but that’s Dragon Ball Z Sam that’s next L that’s
Goku even I know that so rip yeah right were you a Dragon Ball Z guy at all no I was not I am I’m the complete opposite of the end of the spectrum from Spen Mox and I’m not saying with it were you just watching Bloomberg News as a kid like
What were you doing like at like 11: at night they start doing the international currency updates when the China markets open I’m just saying I during I may or may not out on the deck have flipped on Bloomberg you know just just to get a look at how the markets will be
Tomorrow I feel you and adiz 411 says so he was like Stanley he was basically the Stanley of of anime and manga yeah arguably the best anime of all time yeah it’s it’s tough man yeah so shout out man sad sad to hear that uh sad to hear
That um in some better news uh by the way uh you guys keep it coming all day long like Chad fiser I’d never miss listening to Dr Neil rule with his master’s degree Mike G says Neil has a PHD oh player haters degree maybe I might have that heyy yeah um Chad fiser
PhD and wearing glasses like a nerd LOL I I do like that people are saying that on Twitter last night during the uh the golden Grizzly SK a nerd on the TV screen he’s a nerd um I do uh the Golden Grizzlies got the win they’re they’re moving on to the Horizon
League semi-finals for Indianapolis shout out Oakland Golden Grizzlies rocket Watts leading score in the game My Guy rocket yeah I mean and when and I’m not going to pretend that I’m an expert on Oakland basketball or anything like that but I did tune in for you got your own basketball problems that’s
That’s 100% fair I did uh tune in for uh for part of the game last night happy you got happy you guys got the win um Purdue Indian Purdue Fort Wayne actually had about the same record as as Oakland at least in total record so I was kind
Of surprised that they got that draw in the first game but still it looks like to me that you know rocket Watts played above himself and Chris Conway and D DQ Cole did as well I just did a quick math kot combined 18 of 24 that’s I mean
That’s that’s that’s outer space in a game where Trey towns Townsen only scored six you had they doubled him every time he touched the ball like literally every single time that’s the thing Oakland made him pay pay for it guys that you know you wouldn’t expect
To play that well or score that much they did so congratulations to Oakland and I really really hope that you guys win your conference tournament because I would like to see Oakland University in the NCAA tournament and they better start uh doubling Trey towns in cuz
That’s my goat that that is your goat um but the first Michigan State Scout to get get their eyes on you were yeah you you’re the one that’s opened it up the whole trade talents and recruiting process I guess um but the the reason you know obviously that was nice and
That was fun but speno you’re a former swimmer yes and and the golden Grizzly swim and dive team who you know during uh during a a pass game made national news by shaving their heads well last night during visiting free throws they took it up a couple notches they waxed their
Chest and there you see the evidence right there that’s as real as it gets imagine looking damn at the rim for a free throw and some people in the student section are waxing their chest like full on rip it off it’s awesome I hate to say this is a white people
Moment but it’s definitely I think it’s trending that way K it’s the swim team k you’re right you’re right now they’re used to this like but that’s what you guys and speno I wanted to ask you about this you were probably the chest hair waxing Insider of this show yeah because
You were a swimmer did you do that uh I did not wax my chest hair but I shaved straight razor straight razor yeah so what you do is there’s two days of Divisions for the division meet in swim at least in in the M msh MHS AA there
Are two days the first day is where you qualify so that’s how you swim your first and then you get in either top six or top 12 and then the second day you come back and you actually compete for medals so for the really good everybody else they shave before the qualifying
Day and so you go in there and it takes you know 02 seconds off your time but it still means something but they’re really good swimmers we go and we swim the qualifiers and then we go back and shave the night before the actual meat and it’s you know eyebrows down Sleek
Completely shaved yeah and so I did that four times in my life and I I like the Fe like some girls think I’m weird because I like the feel of their legs when it’s like a little hairy and it’s like a little prickly I like I like the
Prickly feel and so like when I when I would shave my legs and I would sit there in class and just rub them for like weeks CU I like that the like prickly hair feeling hey everybody got something yeah it’s not a turn off per se it’s not
The worst thing in the world no that’s not but yeah I shaved four times in my life obviously you don’t have to shave where the suit is but yeah I shaved my legs Mike G I shaved my chest my armpits everything arms legs feet Knuckles shave
It all and that’s what the people were asking that’s what that’s what they want to know uh people I had to shave my back too I actually had to have somebody else shave my back CU I know that was fun to ask Mike wette wants to know on the next
Top five I’d like to see Spenny uh pick a Spenny from his swimming days hahaa are those in existence oh yeah oh yeah those are on Facebook can we get one yeah we can have Lun Lun go down in the rabbit hole and grab one okay I like it
Do we do we need that or no yes do do we want it and not need it or do we need it and not want it I think we need it and not want it I’m not going to I always tune in to see what pictures are being
Used on on your guys’s top five list so uh yes we do need it especially for how much uh how much love we give to Spen Mo Rax for being the excellent High School swimmer that he was why not why not why not show it off to the world why not
Show off a good uh swimming picture people need to see it yes a DNC ENT keeps receipts was that Spenny vers Neil coffee about at over 8 and a half wins or over n and a half wins either way cash that is yeah I you coffee that’s
Right man I was emotional that day but it’s all right I stand by it well and you know what I have to apologize you prayed on my emotion it’s it’s it’s a it’s a character flaw I have where it’s just I see a Mark I take them down like
You know the quote rounders yeah Sam flannel that’s how it works in the streets man oh yeah I’ve had my fair share of uh moments as well so uh if you if you do a show with Neil rule you’re going to get got a time or two no you
You absolutely are um all right we got some nickel packages that we’re going to work in the mix today yes uh football in the news we got an NFL nickel package an NFC North Nickel package as well NCA college football nickel package uh Spenny concocted a Five for Fighting as
Well so an NHL you know nickel package but 5 minutes for fighting and instead did you hear Neil that ELO is officially back he is he got his first hit of the spring Yesterday One RBI Baby One RBI and 15 at bats ELO is back it was a single to center
Off of a high 94 mph fast you ain’t sneaking that cheese by the rat baby Elo Elo is officially back 15 at bats RBI watch out Tigers World Series free money I’m calling it right now elago MVP there is genuinely a lot to be excited about for the Detroit Tigers
Both for this season and the future but they still have that black hole at shortstop in El Mago or Javier bayas He’s Just Not only is he the worst everyday player in baseball he doesn’t fit at all with like what Scott Harris is trying to do philosophically but they
Paid him they paid him all that money and I guess they’re probably going to have to put him in the the lineup so that’s that’s that’s depressing that can definitely limit the ceiling of your team what are you talking about he’s on a one game hitting stre he’s on a one
Game hitting streak congratulations and he also has a on based percentages in the 260s and last year an Ops of under 600 so obviously you know that 67 average in Spring is that bad but he’s back he’s back he’s you know what what a f what a Friday can we

Du the glasses now I believe it 100% I love it it’s going to oh my God Duke when Duke loses America wins I know I will say this though and a lot of people might not like it I did root for them against Butler in the finals I didn’t
Like those Butler teams I like the one with Gordon Hayward Butler ever done because Horizon League stand up I just I didn’t like Matt horiz remember that Center Matt Howard who was just that goofy guy who like did had had no Talent probably never got laid but actually was
One of their best players on one of their teams I just I didn’t like that team I had a lot of respect for Gordon Hayward I have respect for shelvin Mack but Matt Howard you see he didn’t make the NBA those two did this is the most
Sam flannel thing of all time bro it is the most this is like Elmo waving and missing at a slider three feet out of the strike zone oh yeah and trust me I don’t usually root for Duke I know that if I would have been if I would have
Been really alive and understood it in the early ’90s when they beat UNLV and when they beat my beloved fab five Wolverine Crush they didn’t beat UNLV they did no they didn’t yes they did no UNLV beat Duke by 30 in The Natty the year before
Beat him by 30 sure and then they were compensated for their time in the rematch against Duke let’s just say it like that uh but UNLV should have went back to back and they didn’t because Duke beat him no um okay you you know you’re you’re not you don’t understand
What I’m putting down here so you know there were circumstances in that UNLV Duke game that second one okay fair enough there were circumstances I get it fair enough uh wrapping up the jav discussion thankfully uh k19 if kryler can hit 250 with the 320 OBP he
Immediately gets the nod uh K dot he can’t yeah yeah well kryler is not who we’re counting on Andy look pretty [ __ ] good in spring so far I think he’s got four homers he been killing uh rack a a 067 batting average yeah and a 067 on base percentage Yeah
One RBI One RBI that is right um 15 a bet rich rich Baldwin strike Rich Baldwin just released by us we’re working on that we’re working behind the scenes we may have a tele we’re going to start a telephone I’m tell you I think so too money idea I I
Think we’re going to do that that’s what we should do on opening day cuz it’ be even cooler we could go out there hey on the field spinny cooking take him off of his spot like they did with Austin Jackson yeah SP is cooking oh man that’
Be awesome hey real quick I saw in the chat that the uh the Francis and ganu Joshua fight that’s at 1:00 yeah really yes damn okay I’m going have to catch a replay stream who you got in that I got ghu I think he would yeah I mean he he
Beat tyon Fury yeah he he he won that fight yeah Tyson Fury took him light he thought it was going to be like a warm-up type deal got his ass War so that that is also a thing that I don’t think Anthony Joshua will do that now
Now that we saw him put paws on Tyson Fury like that but still like Anthony Joshua is not a good defensive fighter though not so yeah I think enanu can win this I would love to see enanu and Deontay Wilder just see the two guys who
Punch the hardest in the world in the ring together just throwing as long as as long as Wilder doesn’t get tired out walk into the ring with a panther Su on I’m so over Deontay all right we’re going down a rabbit hole here we’re losing people by the second so um you
Know we got to do that but real quick to wrap that up UFC 299 tomorrow card our guy Josh perisian on the card check it out he’ll be fighting in the pr prelims on ESPN plus so uh check that one out tall tall task for him uh but we’ll be out there supporting
We’ll be watching it it’s a great card man yeah yes it is so that that certainly will be exciting uh speaking of exciting and and I just I want to touch on this we’re going to get to the football everybody calm down for a second but the Pistons last
Night that was what flannel and I know it’s one of 60 or whatever number is they play I know it’s one of0 I get that but that’s what everybody was talking about flannel you know what I’m saying because I was told they can’t play together yeah you
Got to trade one that’s what I was told right well that last night was a piece of evidence that they can and I get it and trust me I did the whole mental gymnastics thing where I was happy I was excited and then I looked and that makes
Their record now 10 and 52 there is nothing that can happen this season that can salvage any any micum of a success however however last night jayen Ivy and for the record and and I got to say this about Jaden Ivy as well he owed the Pistons that game because the last eight
Or nine games or so he was atrocious and he played very very well 34 points on 17 shots that’s a crazy efficiency Cade got 32 11 assists also on pretty good efficiency as well they shot a combined 10 of 17 from three and one of the
Things that I liked because one of the criticisms of I would say more Cade but Cade and Ivy or even that concept of them playing together down the stretch after the Nets had had tied the score at 98 Kate scored the next six and Jay and
Ivy hit a three to put them ahead by nine after the Nets cut the lead to 109 to 104 Cade went on a personal 7even to five run where Kade scored seven and the Nets scored five to totally close down the club so if you’re looking for a
Building block of of uh them playing together and doing it successfully I’m talking about Kade and Jade Kade Cunningham and Jaden Ivy that was the game to do it can they do it again can they do it consistently only time will tell but I think a lot of us Pistons
Fans even though it was just one win out of 10 versus 52 losses I think I speak for all of us when I say we needed to see that in the worst way mhm breath of fresh air yes no it was and that was and that was something I think you drill
That flannel we we did need to see that and we saw that because like look it’s rounding into form now and again we’re not going to spend a ton of time on this it is rounding into form now where you need to make your choices moving forward
Like like that’s that’s where it is right now with this team so you know you guys know where I am I’m I’m I’m Camp k Cunningham all the way still yet and still still in there I believe he is an Elite basketball player I believe he is
An Allstar the numbers dictate that he will be an All-Star in this league he and we’ve seen this has become almost the norm now the third you know the 25 to 30 with seven and seven like you see that that is Elite those are All-Star numbers now you’re not going to get on
The All-Star team when you’re 9 and 50 or whatever the Pistons are one and one when I call the games by the way I just let it be known they’re a playoff team when I call the games but anyway that being said that I I know what Kate
Cunningham is I I I am I am prepared after this season flannel I am prepared to check that box you got to you got to give your your rookie Max extension to him he’s a building block period into of story I no I 100% agree with that I mean
If you just look at his numbers on the season he’s played 52 games which we would all would have taken out of a possible 62 he’s given you averages of 24 22 4 and 8 on 45 36 86 shooting splits which means he’s actually upu his three-point percentage to a to a
Percentage that I think we would have all been okay with those are allar numbers we would have all taken that a million times out of a million if you were guaranteed those would have been Kade Cunningham’s numbers you would have expected them to have more wins but the
Reality is is that Kade Cunningham is putting up those numbers and I’m not knocking him Jaden Ivy’s putting up 15 4 and four on 45 35 76 shooting splits Kade Cunningham’s the guy I like jayen Ivy a lot but Kade Cunningham he’s bigger I mean he’s taller he’s a better
Defender he’s a better passer I think he’s a smarter basketball player it’s just jayen Ivy his brings the sizzle and athleticism that Kade Cunningham doesn’t certainly certainly doesn’t have so to me I am all in on the Cade train as well I think we there were some questions
About his health but he’s played 52 out of 62 games and hopefully continues to go up as the seasons go along but yes 100% do not trade Kate Cunningham I think if you want to trade Kate and give the keys to Jaden Ivy you are insane Sam stick
Day he’s still on that yes oh my God uh Mike G is it too early to do a Pistons mock draft Mike G it is never too early you ask and you shall receive here we go tank aon.com by the way the greatest website that maybe has ever been
Invented all right I’m going to sim the lottery for you and then I’ll do the mock draft for you is everybody ready to go here I’m just I’m going to do this real quick all right here we go simming the lottery Detroit Pistons win the number one pick right there there you go
I told you guys this sp there is no more guarantee in life than the Pistons winning this Lottery my on it I’m going I’m going Spencer raxer with the Spurs last year and I guarantee that the Pistons win this one uh Alexandre sar from Perth Australia 7′ 1 217 lb
Averaging 20 and N uh in Australia with three blocks so there you go here’s an idea a piston trade to pick I would like that yeah no more 20 I agree with that yeah I I think we’re all in lock step there trade the pick for
What all right you know what then since we’re doing this real quick give me the path then kg what’s the move trade the pick okay for what for who Brandon Ingram oh man I would as easy put it yesterday I would mail myself if we traded that pick for Brandon
INR give them whatever the hell they want give them Little Caesar’s pizza if you want to too okay I’m sure they will take that yeah I would love to have Brandon Ingram is a piston but you say give you somebody I gave you some no give me and over here
In the real world kg all right like get out of La La Land and come over here and tell me Mel Bridges I think that’s realistic Max it out yeah you’d have to that’s real now that I’m on yeah that I’m on yeah and you guys you guys know
How I operate with this’s mon guy if you you know if you want to do this then you got to go all the way here you know what I’m saying you wouldn’t agree with that though do you want another 20- year old on this team um the bridges thing really
Really intrigues me who would you trade for what what I’m probably just going to cuz what’s the return kg you know what I’m saying like what are you going to get you don’t want this regard you don’t want this pick in you’re a Pistons fan
Who wants it then if it’s a top five pick though it it’s it has value we don’t want it cuz we don’t want a team with five top five picks on it like we don’t want it cuz we don’t need another young guy there’s teams that’ll want
This pick like who like the Nets the Nets would want this pick they’re openly tanking they want to get the number one pick I think the Pelicans would want this pick yeah there there are some teams that would want this pick it’s just the situation we’re in is adding a
19-year-old no matter who it is unless it’s Victor wanyama adding a 19-year-old to this team is not going to is not going to help Sue youu of course the scum NBA gives a pistons number one on a year with mids yeah if you guys speaking of Victor wanyama have you seen the [ __ ]
That that man has been doing in the league he’s about to average 20 10 10 and five know do you see he’s out though and he’s going to be out again and papovich is saying well hopefully we get him back next week they’re starting that track oh yeah
That’s the Spurs special yeah I know you happy new no I’m not happy wink wink n n I’m never happy kg what you you know I just we should he should be on this team he should but the NBA doesn’t love us our front Court was supposed to be
[ __ ] W minyama and J Duren but now it’s with Kate Isaiah Stewart and jayen Duren the NBA discourages open tanking yeah so yeah all right so okay that’s it let’s do the football stuff when we come back how about that everybody it’s nickel package Friday NFL NFC North NCAA all of

Condensed nickel package Friday you know we did this all football season long and we’ll get back to it but I think you know with the stakes being raised in this town I think we do need to make this a staple on Fridays like a condensed nickel package spin it around
The division spin it around the league take a look at College all of it yall ready to rock absolutely Spencer raer if you would be so kind as to do the honors NFL all right NFL let’s do it first question of the NFL nickel package look around the league at all the safeties
Being cut quandre Diggs Jamal Adams Justin Simmons there is a glut of safeties now available which will drive their price down are safeties the new running back oh it seems that way doesn’t it man I mean like lowkey if you if you have a high price safety in this
League and you’re in fin ancial Peril yeah boom you’re out of here that’s the first to cut yeah they are always the first to cut it seems like you can’t you can’t replace one pretty easy and that’s what I’m saying like in a world and we saw we saw the beginning up remember
Last year when the lion signed chony Garner Johnson San fl’s favorite player for $6 million and we all stood around and went what the hell $6 million the writing was on the wall for this yeah and it’s happening already but we are seeing it anytime and that’s why
Easy remember the whole Kyle Hamilton thing oh come on don’t don’t do that Kyle Hamilton’s one of the best safeties in the NFL first team All Pro second Team all pro and and you’re and you’re paying him $16 million yeah he’s earned his money you know what I’m saying he
Has he’s been great I don’t want any Kyle Hamilton slander I’m not slandering him I’m just saying though that’s like that’s like taking a a running back at one no I I I understand I just think it’s going to rile up some of the Lions fans who uh just want to hate on
Everyone that like like you know what I mean who are going to say that kiry Joseph is a better safety than Kyle Hamilton which if you believe that you are on drugs but any just OB let me let me just Ju Just say this as a little bit
Of a counter I get what you’re saying to some extent but we all know right now Jamal Adams stinks and he can’t stay healthy he’s horrible quandre Diggs was the 87th ranked safety last season according to PFF 13 million a year too absolutely Eddie Jackson another one who
Was released wait a minute you mean quandre Diggs wasn’t good quandre digs was not good last year those are the words of Sam flannel do not necessarily reflect the views and values of Neil rule or Woodward Sports and I get it PFF isn’t everything but just listen to this
Eddie Jackson Another safety who was released a former allp proo from the Bears was the 76th ranked safety according to PFF last year Jordan puyer was the 46th and Justin Simmons was the 42nd I think that a lot of these guys have made it easier for them to be cut
Because of their I don’t even want to necessarily say poor play but their play that’s not up to their standards as guys who have been pro bowlers for so it I think that plays a role as well and it makes them very very easy to be Expendable all right second down second
Down next question of the NFL nickel package Steelers meeting with Russell Wilson could Russ even bring down Mike Tom it’s it’s 100% possible yeah if there’s one person who can do it it’s Russell if there is one person in this league and look for whatever reason Mike tomlin’s become like this divisive thing
Between like this show and the chat there are some Mike Tomlin haters out there which I I don’t understand how how that’s possible I don’t get that Mike tomlin’s the man and his beard is impeccable you hate Mike Tomlin I think Mike tomlin’s overrated 100% based on
What I got I got you guys here I got you I got you to me he is the exact same as Shawn pton John Harbaugh and Mike McCarthy and that’s all borne out by the fact that Mike McCarthy has an 8-10 playoff record Shawn pyton is 9 and 8
John harbas is 12- 10 and Mike McCarthy is 11 and 11 I’m just saying for all of the all of the praise Mike Tomlin gets for having a winning a winning record or a 500 record or above every single year he’s missed the playoffs six times and
Has had many many many playoff flameouts and only has one Super Bowl the same as everybody else I just mentioned but everybody wants to slander Shawn Payton and Mike McCarthy like they’re whipping boys or something but say oh my God Mike tell the roster look at the roster that
Mike McCarthy did that with last year you give se you give uh Mike Tomlin that roster they’re winning a couple playoff he took k pick it and Company to the playoffs they should stop the game and put him in the Hall of Fame right now just for that don’t cry poor when it
Comes to Mike tomama listen to some of the players he’s had over the years Troy palalo Antonio Brown M Fitzpatrick cam Hayward Maris pouncy David decter TJ watt Le’Veon Bell Ben Ro and what did any of those guys do when they weren’t around Mike Tomlin so what what did they
Do he under think it could be Mike Tomlin then right okay a lot of those players haven’t had the opport who need to do much much outside of them like TJ watt for example or big Ben well Big Ben he started with Bill Cower but still I’m
Just saying that yeah who’s been the quarterback since Big Ben in his prime though they understand that but but Mike Tomlin underachieved in the playoffs he 100% did he has a losing playoff record yeah because he’s got Kenny picket and Mason Rudolph as a quarterback in the
Playoff he had the entire Prime of Ben rothberger hey he had the entire [ __ ] Prime of Ben rothberger I guess he sucks too when he’s getting his gold jacket stop it he’s a good coach but he is not better than John Harbaugh Sean P Mike McCarthy he’s the same they’re all in
The same room what are you going to do when when Mike Tomlin gets his gold jacket he’s going to get one but so are all the other guys that I mentioned so is Shawn pyton so is John Harbaugh so is Mike McCarthy they’re all in one and the
Same Mike Tomlin is not discernably better than any of them Mike Tomlin is discernibly better than Mike McCarthy Mike mcarthy is by far the worst out of those guys you just mentioned I would I Mike McCarthy though has a better playoff record yeah cuz he had a get
Told every day by you Neil ruin by the chat sucks and sucks in the playoffs who does Aaron Rogers I mean coming down the stretch yeah he does he does okay oh he doesn’t by the way look at the numbers but also so M how how many of those are
This decade and the numbers don’t result in anything oh congratulate oh nothing you mean the Super Bowl that he won back in the day a Super Bowl more a Super Bowl more recently than Mike you think Mike McCarthy is a better Coach than Mike Tomlin is that what you’re
Saying you put Mike Tomlin on the Dallas Cowboys they are going to the Super Bowl are you know that are you kidding me Mike Tomlin doesn’t go to the Super Bowl when’s the last time he was there 2009 Mike drop I win you lose but you guys
Will never concede Victory to me the same Super Bowl as Aaron Rogers the same Super Bowl that Aaron Rogers beat him in stop it kg stop it stop and Mike McCarthy if you want to say Mike Tomlin and John Harbaugh are the same level of coach I’m agreeing with you joh harb
Better but if you’re saying that Mike McCarthy is the same level of coach as Mike Tomlin and John Harbaugh you’re [ __ ] Lun a lunatic what has Mike Tomlin done that is just so unbelievably great that’s my thing Mason Rudolph and can he pick it to the playoff boom mic
Drop that’s it you’re you’re football Jesus if you do that fo running record you know with TJ Watt on the defense and Alex heith and all of that I’m just saying to football Jesus okay but they answer your question yes Russell Wilson can bring down Mike Tomlin the Steelers
Better not do this yeah they better not do it but they might I think it could work and if Mike Tomlin gets in the playoffs with Russ as the quarterback then he should get a second Go Jack no because Russell Wilson is objectively better than anything that
Steelers had last year that’s not saying much I I understand that but like on a cheaper contract I think it could work in with the Steelers I really do I agree with Sam it’s a possibility it can work am I saying it’s going to work no but it’s definitely and Russell Wilson
Actually put up good numbers last year he did 26 touchdowns eight picks see again better passer rating than J those numbers are irrelevant they are not relevant yes they are flannel they cut them I okay they took the you know who you know who will be the highest paid
Quarterback in the league this year Russell Wilson from the Broncos to not play for him so tell me again about the numbers cuz I’ll tell you about Russell Wilson the person I’m not going to lie I’m not going to lie you got me there but I also think that he could translate
To the Steelers on a on a based on what based on all the great work he did in Denver because the problem with him with Russell Wilson on the Broncos was his contract it wasn’t necessarily him he was a part of it but on a cheaper
Contract than the Ste it was only him doing lunges on the airplane having an office that he doesn’t go to having a parking spot where no one else has one being the only guy allowed to bring his family to training camp Fair that’s all fair it was a disaster with the Broncos
But I think he’s better than any that the Steelers had last year he sunk the franchise flannel they have to sit this year out because of him the Broncos weren’t [ __ ] anyway since pton Mannings last year they especially w’t [ __ ] once they brought in Russell Wilson fair fair
Fair I’m not going to put it all on Russ because they hired Nathaniel hack thinking they would get Aaron Rogers and that never happened so they had to maneuver and that’s what resulted in Russell Wilson but Nathaniel Hackett doesn’t torpedo your franchise Russell Wilson does well Nathaniel hacket can do
That too Russell Wilson does he didn’t have I think it’s partially on Broncos ownership as well so I won’t put it all but it’s mainly on Russell it’s a lot to do with him though and his action figure hair it is a lot to do with him and
That’s what you get when you do lunges on the team play maybe he got humbled maybe he got humbled if he goes I know maybe I’m just say if he goes you think Mike tomin is gonna put up with that [ __ ] if he signs him
Come on you know what you know what I take that back I do want to see it I hope he does do it cuz I want to see Tom the press conference oh my God his press conference is you k you just open my
Eyes to that I do want that now I’m told you I love that kind of it’s a win-win cuz if he if he works out great if not it’s going to be a spectacle uh Steven David but Sam has a wife I do God okay I got I got to block this
Guy [ __ ] just just just an idiot man McCarthy won with Matt Flynn and Dak Prescott come on he won what one game with and what did he do with that what does he won with Dak Prescott how much has he won with Dak Prescott all I’m saying is
No universe that when you look at their rums you can say that Mike McCarthy has gutter trash and Mike tomlin’s one of the best coaches ever do got to look past the numbers flannel how can he get to a I I know it’s hard for you to do
But you got to look past the numbers M Tom’s losing playoff record but nobody cares about that nobody get it’s more than that it’s more he has a losing playoff how does Mike McCarthy not get the Cowboys to a Super Bowl with that roster I’m not saying Mike McCarthy is
Elite or anything I’m just saying that Mike Tomlin is highly highly overvalued and his resume is actually just the same as Mike McCarthy’s and if you want if you don’t have a losing season in two decades you’re a good coach in the NFL you’re a good coach in the NFL you are a
Great coach in the NFL who does that name name all the coaches that have done that I can’t name them because they probably don’t exist but he also missed the playoffs six times dur I don’t care about those eight and eight seasons where he missed the playoffs I I know
People just want to like deify Mike Tomlin but he has been a disappointment in the playoffs I don’t care what any of you say stop losing in the first round every single year stop losing to the [ __ ] Patriots every year I know you’re right it is they should go in
They should go in arol head with Kenny picket and beat Patrick Mahomes you’re right no I’m not saying you’re absolutely right no you are you’re you’re crucifying him for it I’m not crucifying for that that’s one of 10 playoff losses you’re right he should go into Buffalo against your God Josh Allen
And and win with who was even the quarter was it Mason rudol okay with Mason Rudolph well that’s another loss there yeah that’s uh and that would if you take those away he’s a 500 playoff coach and I am not I don’t want to [ __ ] hear crying poor for
Mike tomlin’s rosters back in the day you can say about recent quarterback play I will give you that but some of those rosters and those defenses that he had back in the day and offenses quite frankly those ab and Le’Veon Bell and Ben so you’re crucifying him for not
Beating Tom Brady in the playoffs I am saying that they never beat the Patriots the Baltimore Ravens beat the Patriots from time to time the Colts or whoever pton Manning was on beat the Patriots from time to time oh pton Manning got worked in the playoffs he [ __ ] in the
Playoffs by he he has a winning record against Tom Brady in the playoffs worked he got worked in the playoffs he was an average quarterback in the playoff I gave you a [ __ ] fact there I know overall he was but pton Manning has pton Manning has a winning record against Tom
Brady in the playoffs head to-head who got more Super Bowls fine but my fact still matters I know you guys don’t want to hear it because I’m flannel Sam and you want to disagree with every [ __ ] thing I say but I do my research you guys just say

Sam flannel kg Spencer Rax here in the house well we got to third down right we’re up to third down now second down was hectic though and if you like that one stick around for this one all right third down third down third question of the nickel package are the Bills
Squandering Josh Allen or is it the other way around o you guys you guys know where I’m going with that one that’s a good question because at the end of the day it’s on the QB he gets the he gets the praise he gets the shine
And when they don’t win he’s to blame this is tough though it Sean mcder though I mean we we let him off the hook I I’ll get to that kg you wait yeah yeah no I because this is how it works in this league when you’re the QB and you
Have home playoff games and you don’t get it done what else can you ask for what else can you ask for for real obviously that team’s good enough to get the home field right so you should be able to do something with it but time after time in the biggest moment he
Comes up empty in the biggest moments he just does and I know flannel is going to melt down again about that but in the end I’m right you’re wrong I win you lose because Josh Allen when everything is on the line when all the chips are in
The middle of the table Josh Allen busts every single time he does that’s the way it is at some point the QB’s got to rise up at some point he’s out of excuses flannel but go ahead make excuses all right no I’m actually not going to make
Excuses I am going to give a little bit of context and let me start with this I’m going to base this off of the premise that Josh Allen is an excellent regular season quarterback and what he’s done with the Buffalo Bills and resurrecting that franchise into helping
Be a big part in making them consistent division winners after 20 plus years of dorcy is impressive so I’m going to base my entire Josh Allen analysis based off of what he’s done against the Kansas City Chiefs and let me just say this I think Josh Allen the more I look at it
The more I dive into it is one of the unluckiest quarterbacks in NFL history let me and let me finish let me just finish he had the wait a minute are you going to add Nuance to something I am going to add Nuance to something why
What changed a lot has changed I added a lot of Nu it’s your boy all right I got you no wait hold on hold on hold on Chuck Brewer Sam wants to use context interesting Chuck Brewer you’re a [ __ ] clown get out of the chat
Because all you do is make Rivera 88 Sam wants to talk context all you do is make those gotcha arguments that are terrible you do no research you just come into the chat just to say [ __ ] sorry any you are shout out D Rivera 88 though caught
Up with them after the Oakland game yesterday shout out yeah shout out man one of the OG’s all right go I’m going to be very very calm about this Josh Allen had the had the unfortunate circumstances of playing his prime against a quarterback that was better
Than him a team that was better coached and a team that was better run I’m of course talking about the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes Andy Reed Brent Beach and all of that the shining example of an organization of The Last 5 Years which is which has directly
Correlated with Josh Allen’s Prime so what has Josh Allen done when he’s gone up against against the Kansas City Chiefs the bills averaged 28 points per game in their three playoff losses to the Kansas City Chiefs the defense gave up 35.7 damn 35.7 I bet you all didn’t know
That now you do Josh Allen in those three combined playoff games seven touchdowns one interception and two rushing touchdowns and oh by the way in those three games combined he rushed for 228 yards on 7.6 yards per carry on the aformentioned two rushing touchdowns and gets better trust me in 2020 Josh Allen
Had 88 rushing yards in the game against the Kansas City Chiefs the next closest 17 2021 Josh Allen had 68 the next closest 26 in 2023 Josh Allen had 72 the next closest 61 James Cook actually had a pretty good game but can I give you
Some live feedback okay give you GW the kid flannel Rambles worse than reday my goodness all right proceed no I just I just have have a lot to say about it my point is that he went up against a juggernaut and he fell short but it
Wasn’t his fault at all it’s just the Kansas City Chiefs are better Patrick Mahomes is better Andy Reid is a lot better than Shawn mcder and uh Brent Beach is the best GM in football right now so and the Buffalo Bills I don’t even know who their GM is but they’ve
Had to suffer from some of the contracts that they’ve give as as you’ve seen they’ve cut a lot of people recently so Josh Allen was more the victim of circumstance than anything because by the numbers and even against the Kansas City Chiefs he is an EXC excent playoff
Quarterback who was carrying his team on his back but when he gets that playoff game at home he comes up empty he didn’t come up empty though he had three total touchdowns in no turnovers no see like it’s a pass fail scenario okay fine so pass all right fine fine and you know
What I’ll say this for the people who say I have no context the game against the Cincinnati Bengals where he L his offense to 10 points his fault yeah that was his fault 100% his fault those play that game at they played that game at home H Weir those Kansas City Chiefs
Games though were not his fault in the slightest he was the best thing that that team had in every single one of those gam that’s that’s my whole Aaron Rogers thing like get Conference Championship games at home year after year after year empty after empty after
Empty sorry man you can’t be set up any better and then it’s on you on better the 35.7 points per game in the games they played against the position and also if Josh Allen sucks so bad so does every other [ __ ] quarterback in the NFL not named Patrick Mahomes because
Patrick mahom ain’t got no peers Joe bur well the thing about it is I don’t hear how Elite all the other quarterbacks how he’s in Patrick Mahomes Stratosphere how about how he’s that guy about who he’s the prototypical quarterback can we all agree then that Josh Allen Lamar Jackson
Joe burrow are all pretty much the same guy yeah I mean yeah Allen Allen Industries turnover factories though pump out pump out a third shift though but Lamar Jackson is objectively a morbid playoff quarterback he is a morbid playoff quarterback he hasn’t done Jack Josh Allen at least has had
Great playoff perform Jo bur still have a winning record against Patrick mes yeah three and one three one do you want to hear some more context no I don’t I want to move on to fourth down well I’m going to give you that context and Joe Burrow’s two playoff games against the
Kansas City Chiefs one of them was actually a win the offense gave up scored 23.5 points per game which is four 4.5 less than Josh Allen’s Buffalo Bills have scored in the Buffalo games against the Kansas City Chiefs and the defense has given up 23.5 points per
Game which is a full 12.2 less than the Buffalo Bills defense has given up Joe burrow benefited from the one playoff choke in Patrick mahomes’s career that second half where uh it all started with the first half when they let no always there’s always a hook I know there’s
Always a butt yeah always there’s a lot of context to that Joe bur Josh Allen’s better than Joe burrow maybe Josh Allen just isn’t cool enough not good leader to inspire his defense because he wears those cool outfits and those sunglasses to the stadium and has uh his defensive
Lineman Sam hubard return a return a fumble 99 yards for a touchdown cuz he’s cool yeah he inspires he inspires def to be better his defense where in the overtime of their playoff game Patrick mahes throws an interception versus when Josh Allen threw a go-ahead touchdown pass to put
Them ahead by three with 13 seconds left and never gets the ball back Josh Allen just can’t motivate his defense like that sucks jackar Baker Mayfield has 10 touchdowns and three picks in half the playoff games of Josh Allen well it’s funny you bring up Baker Mayfield have
In the playoffs stop it all right fourth down Baker Mayfield Baker Mayfield didn’t get tagged the athletic said he could be in the 4 for 160 million range huh no huh does that make sense I mean he had a great year he did have a great
Year one season but he also had Mike Evans he did but and he will again if they sign him yeah see like here’s a deal with this which that that stunned me when I read that absolutely stun me like this isn’t um you know Sam flannel
Uh reporting this you know like this is the athletic yeah and I I did a double take but then this is where the Daniel Jones thing comes into play you know it it just does that’s the market and by the way this is going to be a running theme throughout
The rest of the nickel packages when we get to the NFC North when we get to uh some of the quarterback questions and things like that it’s a supply and demand field flannel it just is I mean and for the record I did fact check it Baker Mayfield does have 10 touchdowns
And three picks in his playoff career so I’m sorry for doubting whoever that was you win that one I lose but yes Baker Mayfield God it’s so tough because in so many years he has underperformed I mean you look at that year after his rookie year 2019 with the Freddy kitchens year
He threw like 21 interceptions the year where he played hurt and the Cleveland Browns missed the playoffs despite having Super Bowl aspirations and of course what he did with Carolina you just I don’t trust him but at the same time he did have a very unexpected Good Year I can’t even deny
That they were supposed to be a top five I’ve always liked Baker mayfeld like not you know not like he’s an elite QB in the NFL I would play for Baker Mayfield he’s the guy he follow new Foxhole for no Baker Mayfield just has little man syndrome he’s not a good
Leader Baker Baker Mayfield has Spenny Vibe I’d follow Spenny I’d Rumble in the streets of Royal Oak with Spenny appreciate that like I would go into a bar up North I’m talking like up north up north up up north where you’re not welcome when you walk in the door the
Kind of place the Music Stops and they’ve been looking for an excuse and as the evening rolls on you’re back in the back of the bar there and you know that the whole temperament of the room has changed and they’re looking for you sounds like a movie and you got to go
Back to back and just fight your way to the front door and run for the hills man oh yeah and that’s that’s how I kind of feel about maker Mayfield though I I’ve always liked him as a person as a competitor yeah I I can’t stand him you
Said four for he’s not quarterback heel he ran from for so Daniel Jones money ex yeah that’s roughly 40 million a year if we sign Jared golf to that we’d be having a field day um I mean it seems on par cuz we want to get golf for what 45 million
That’s that’s about right that’s that’s the talk in the streets and um I think that’s that’s about right though you break it down Claire is Crystal you lose good day sir all right we’re going to get through it only took two segments to do one nickel package but here we go
Fifth down fifth down fifth question of the nickel package Josh Allen and Brian Burns were the biggest losers in the franchise tag period Mont sweat in on a 4 by 98 million deal and Allen and burns are only one for 24 million tag deal sucks for them huh when you look at it
That way doesn’t it I mean yeah but like 1 million for or one year for 24 million I can’t say that sucks it sucks if you get hurt it does suck if you get hurt and if you it sucks that you don’t have security and it just does alarm yeah
That’s what I’m saying like when you boil it all down like I know uh sweats I think what 55 or 53 something like that guaranteed but still yeah all Burns and Allen who are the Elite of the elite all they’re sitting on right now is $24 million guaranteed all I know is another
Reason why he’s the goat Spartan dog KK cousins fought the tag twice and one and then got the most guaranteed money ever be the tag up Legend he beat the tag up like up up uh flannel your thoughts no um it really sucks for Brian Burns because he’s in Carolina hell for
Another year but what are they why aren’t they trading here I have no idea I they’re they have no future right now none whatsoever even if Brian Burns is defensive player of the year next year they’re not doing [ __ ] at least with Josh Allen you can see a pathway to him
Being a major factor in a Jacksonville Jaguar wies team that uh that has a resurgent season I see why they did it because they need him but uh Brian Burns he’s just toiling away in hell right now and Montes sweat he’s very very well set up for the future I can relate sitting

Friday all right hey let’s do this one NFC North Nick you know what let’s do this let’s do the NCA one and do the NFC North in the next segment how about that yeah will tease it for the people that works for me it’s a good NFC North
Nickel package by the way it is a good NFC North Nickel package first question of the NCAA nickel package they’re talking about changing the format of the playoff for the format oh they’re trying to change the format of the playoff that we haven’t even played yet is this getting
Stupid already yes it is uh by the way in the chat uh Detroit sports T Kurt Cousins is a money get [ __ ] yes he is no um yes it is getting is anybody else like getting that vibe that this thing’s getting stupid already that we’re changing it we haven’t even played
It yet they trying to open it to 16 now they’re doing like they’re they’re trying to figure out like the format and it’s just we’ll we’ll have more on that in second down but flannel this look I know we like things the way we like things and we don’t like change like as
A nation we’re resistant to change but fennel this seems like it’s getting kind of stupid doesn’t well that’s the point we’ve never even seen the 12 team playoff in action and we’re already trying to expand it I agree 100% I think and I want to see it in action first
That 12 does seem like the sweet spot and I’m looking I’m looking forward to seeing it like that but if I have to see that for a year or two and then it go to 16 it’s kind of like when the NFL will eventually go to 18 regular season games
Everything is just so over inflated at this point leave it at 12 let it at least play out for a season or two first before you even talk about expanding it might as well just let the whole top 25 in if that’s the case like seriously let
It all in uh Dante 151 had an answer about the whole Brian Burns thing Carolina thinks they can get a Kings ransom for teams asking for Brian Burns which I think Carolina is stupid to think that well Dante you know what that is real quick this is we see this is
Called time Decay it’s it’s a phrase I use all the time every second you keep him his value goes down because because you get closer to the end it’s like the tigers with Michael Fulmer I would have traded him the second he won Rookie of the Year every second you kept him his
Value went down until it went down to nothing a lots of hate for college football too in the chat which is which makes me so sad man I’m excited for college football next year yeah man I but Mormon power baby but does this playoff thing though Spenny is it
Turning you off a little bit cuz I’m not going to lie to you I am I’m the biggest college football guy at this network I promise you I am yes you are and I don’t like the Vibes I’m getting from it man yeah I mean I’m cool with it you know if
I’ goes to 16 teams 16 teams that works for me it’s just the easier chance for state to get in but um yeah I more I think more college football playoff games is better in my eyes uh Ace Breezy Sam adds a different personality type and perspective that
Helps make the show more interesting he’s a weird guy but the dude’s cool with me which Ace Breezy tells me you’re probably a weird guy too now I’m just playing with man appreciate your TAP I do I do like flannel Speak oh listen listen to this from easy Burns is a
Declining asset I have permeated this entire network my vernacular is just is being spread around Woodward and I love it I’m a proud father all right true second now all right next question of the nickel package part of the new proposed playoff is the Big 10 in SEC demanding they get three guaranteed
Spots each even if the Big 10 fans here can we all agree that that’s dumb or no I think so I think it makes sense three guaranteed spots in the playoff yes the Big 10 and the SEC would get three the Big 12 would get two and the ACC would
Get to they’re the two most dominant conferences I’m not I wouldn’t be mad at that what you the Big 10 in the SEC well the Pack 12 was the most dominant conference last year but it’s going to be when the pack but it will that’s what I mean like going forward
Yeah I don’t know I I think it should be you know if you’re a good team you get in yeah now now I know that’ll be massage because I I I pointed this out to you guys like how the ranking thing works remember what I I I feel like I
Turned a light on for you flannel when I when I gave you the outline the blueprint for the Penn State effect sure where once they get to 10 they can lose and they never go down because they’re the third Big 10 team so they have to stay there for television sake that’s
True I just I don’t need to see and look I know that Washington and Oregon are coming in I don’t Washington just lost their coach you know what I’m saying like we’ve seen them rise up and then lose to Montana at home you know that did happen a couple years ago a lot
Worse than they were UCLA is basically trash you know what I’m saying like I know that everybody thinks this is going to be some Grand thing and I just don’t think it it is and if you go by the Numbers if you look at it the third team
If you did this third Big 10 team it would have been Penn State who got murdered by Old Miss in their bowl game and everybody played I don’t need to see Penn State or the threat of Iowa being in the playoff just based on we get
Three SP I hate that well here’s the thing though you’re going to see Penn State in the playoff even if they do exactly what they did last year and and and and that’s and that’s the thing by the by the 12 team playoff formula if you’re a 10in two team and your only
Losses are to Michigan and Ohio State you’re probably going to get in anyway they’re going to lose Michigan State too hey they could Mor Mormon power Aiden Charles they could bringing it back they very much could Michigan State always plays Penn State well this last year not
Every year I feel like they do and let’s go red wing party says 10 through 16 will just be mid Big 10 teams and SEC teams and I and I agree with you I I 100% agree with you and that’s where I don’t want to see the the Big 12 you
Know that that third good team in the Big 12 they’re going to get passed over they just are and again I I just I hate that one conference because you know what you’re doing with that too that is guaranteed Revenue that you get three shares of and everybody else only gets
Two so you’re widening the Gap the other going forward the other conferences are dissolving though yeah in the next 10 years you think it’ll be a big 12 in 10 yeah who’s even going to be in the Big 12 year yeah like come on like Oklahoma and Texas are both gone right future
It’s going to be what Kansas state like then just cut the [ __ ] and break away that’s what I’ve been saying and say and say we’re a Super League that’s it they should but I thought people don’t like that remember when soccer talked about doing that and people had a Revolt yeah
That is true I thought thought you didn’t like that well college football’s different yeah accept especially opening in college football in this day and age they they’ll accept it okay all right next question of the NCAA nickel package fox said that they’re going to broadcast the national game every Friday night
There will be from the Big 10 Big 12 or Mountain West do you guys like that you know I like it I love it Friday Night Football Friday Night Lights come on uh for the week the Mountain West are in there 100% I like that yeah if it’s
Ruckers Iowa but see that’s flannel that’s what it’s going to end up being man you know it is you know it’s going to be Illinois and Wisconsin in champagne on a Friday night you know it is I don’t need that and flannel look man I’m serious about this too like
Don’t don’t give me this promise of a national Friday night game and then present me with westconsin and Illinois in Champagne no one wants that no one needs that and I’ll tell you this too like people people are being critical of fans because they’re not showing up in
The numbers that they used to show up what you you got you’re going to tell me that that like Joe Illinois fan that works his regular job you want him to like pack up on a Friday night and get everything together and bust out there to the stadium it’s not going to happen
That way true it’s not going to happen I mean Illinois has given us Justa Newton Devon Witherspoon Kirby Joseph a Chase and Sydney Brown yeah they also give us Brent belum as the coach Fair that’s 100% fair I’m just saying that Illinois if they they’ve had some exciting I
Would still it’s one of those things that I would maybe watch while I pregame or something like that have on in the background and maybe with it on on the TV and it muted and music that’s probably what the Friday if with those particular games that’s fair do you like
It Spencer I like it but you know this is what you’re so you’re telling me I like it in on paper but like you said yeah when when we get Ruckers Maryland so USC is going to play at home on Friday night no not a chance Michigan’s
Not going to play at home on Friday night Ohio State’s not going to play at home on Friday night it’s not you know it’s like you said it’s going to be Maryland Minnesota know one needs that I need L of that not more yeah yeah I need less
Of that take it up with the networks just money man yeah take it up with the networks all right uh last question of the NCAA nickel package and we’ll look at flannel with this one what do Michigan fans expect for next year all right do you have a starting quarterback
Yet that’s an honest question no we do not we we 100% do not but uh my expectation and this is just me looking at the schedule two losses a two loss regular season and maybe fighting for a last play off spot here’s the reality they lost they lost a [ __ ] ton on
Offense they’re pretty much just bringing back Donovan Edwards and coulston Loveland they got a good defense returning guys like you know Mason Graham Kenneth Grant Derrik Moore um Rod Moore will Johnson I think the defense is going to be fine but offensively until they find a quarterback it’s might how the transfer
Portal looked like to sh up that offensive line without harbon I mean it’s it’s it’s uh lacking at this point I’ll just say that no just say it’s thin I’m honestly asking because I don’t and I I appreciate that question I just think they got Texas at home they got
USC at home they got Oregon at home Washington on the road isn’t going to be tough isn’t going to be as tough of course it’s not going to be as tough and Ohio State at on the road that’s that’s going to be tough as well I think
They’re going to lose two regular season games shiron Moore is being set up to fail man he’s being set up flannel flannel when they when they go six and six if they go six and six and then they chase that with an eight and four the
Next year you know how it’s going to work you know how it is see but it would take something like that six and six and that’s understandable I think that they’re set up to go like 10- two and I think the fan base would be fine with it considering they’re coming off a
National championship and oh by the way 10 and two might get into the college football playoff ain’t no M about it it will sure you know what 10 and two Michigan’s going to be in the playoff for sure fair enough I think they can do
It yeah I can’t see six and six that’s a I mean we just we just Shuff through some of the games on the schedule I love what Jonathan Smith Jonathan Smith is doing in Michigan State in the transfer portal and in the recru in class I wouldn’t be surprised just saying
Wouldn’t be surprised uh Here Comes Here Comes the uh the Neil Here Comes Neil with the I expect more than you um Mike G Neil shiron is good leave the brother alone and but Mike G that’s going to be part of the problem lowkey it is and kg
You know this man like he’s he’s going to get a little less time to work with than other people might I’m just going to say it that way that’s the you know what I’m saying like that you know what I’m talking about when I say that watch
The Fab Five if if you’re wondering where where I’m getting that from well but In fairness comparing him to Jim Harbaugh which was the literal Like Home Run hire of Home Run hes it’s of course he’s going to get a little less leeway but I think as long as just this season
They have even if they go nine and three I think the fan base will be fine five years instead of seven I mean five years sounds like a pretty good amount honestly they gave a struggling hard ball damn near 10 years he finally got
It done but it took him a while so I just worry he’s not going to get a fair shake and I feel that I do feel that yeah I I do I I I honestly believe that too and yeah cuz it’s he’s going to walk he’s walking into the schedule this year
It’s it’s going to be tough man it’s going to be really tough Texas hey but Texas lost their two wide receivers their two defensive tackles their running backc lost Caleb like yeah I’m not saying they’re not bringing back good players I’m just saying that’s going to matter I don’t think Quinn ERS
Is as well set up to succeed this year as last year remember what happened the last time you doubted Texas flannel hey fair fair you win I lose going back to uh our old like for the love of college football days those days um yeah real quick flannel I know we’re
We’re late for the break and I know what this is going to open up but and I understand that going in but you know whatever um when when can I ask the question though right because like if if you guys are a dynasty like a football Dynasty or a dominant
Program what what do you need to do if you just reload right so so you’re you’re admitting right now it’s going to be well just with everything we lost 18 players to the combine it’s hard for any program to overcome that and be a national champion again I’m not saying
Know but Alabama and LSU had a play one time where there were 20 NFL guys on the field they they continued to keep it pushing know’s going to have a lot this year it’s just there’s questions about the quarterback position and that’s huge I don’t know if like for example Alex
Orgy is an every down quarterback orgy in the end zone he’ll have a lot of those but as far as a thrower goes we just don’t know he could be a Jaylen Herz ass guy could you know so we’re we’re on civil terms for now about it then civil terms for now about

We ran really late on that segment yeah we did like really super late that’s up do you want to do the Five for Fighting then do the NFC North yeah we you want to do it that way sure everybody we’ll uh we’ll do that cuz I did just get the
Question will Steve Eiserman make a move that is question number one on the Five for Fighting trade deadline is today will Stevie y make a move I Define move like are you talking about bring someone in bring someone in from another team um no I don’t think so I think anything
That he does like will be clearing I think that’s going to be the play I think Edinson does Edinson count as bringing somebody in from another team yeah that’s I think that’s going to be the move if he can sh I’ll consider this trade deadline a Monumental success if
If he can get rid of Hull if he can get rid of him move that salary off the books we’re paying him what three and a half to sit in the Press Box as somebody said earlier this week if you can find a way to move that then you’re a goat
You’re an absolute goat I agree with that get rid of hole maybe bring up Edinson see if uh yes yes I mean see if he could help solidify the defense a little bit more which has struggled as a whole this year hey shout out out shout
Out bring him home bring him home I’m cool with it yeah so so no my answer is no yeah it but that’s a win to me sure that’s a win because look I’ve always talked about this before I a good executive will recognize they made a
Mistake and move on from it that’s why I always gave Joe Dumar credit when he drafted matin Cleaves yeah he got John and a first round pick from ma Cleaves man that’s goat status right there that is impressive you know I think Steve Eisman would tell you was h a mistake
Yes I think we can all agree it is right so if he can fix it even if it’s like eating you know Justin abator money hell yeah a million year Spartan dog cuz we’re paying him a million a year till 2026 everybody all right second perod Spartan dog get your bag next question
Second minute of the fighting major are you worried about Tampa Bay after the trade day brought the Duke in no like I’m not getting good vibes from Tampa Bay yeah as someone who has vasileski on their fantasy team who’s been monumentally disappointed with him this year yeah
He’s not been great they lost again to Calgary yesterday at home gave up six to the Flames I like we we’re talking about how this is like a two a two spot race for three teams what if I told you Tampa is going to be the one out I wouldn’t be
Surprised CU that’s what I’m feeling yeah the isers are more they’re hotter R and they have the better goalie which is crazy to say that’s what that you see what I’m saying like you’re putting logs on the fire right here yeah I mean when vasileski goes from arguably the
Greatest goalie ever to Mid or less than mid it’s going to hurt it’s it’s going to hurt Tampa Bay obviously Nikita kucherov is having one of the best years of his career but Sev going down was big for them too that’s true sure as of right now I’m more worried about the
Islanders just because I still think when it’s all set in done it’s going to be Tampa and Detroit that get the two wild card spots I just I I can’t see I cannot fathom the Islanders catching us but still they’re the ones that I’m worried about for now you got to beat
Them when you play them head-to-head at home in a couple weeks or so for sure for sure need that win third minute of the fighting major who would you rather see in the playoffs God this is sad the Rangers or the Florida Panthers I I got
To say the r i want no part I don’t want to see playoff trouba though that guy’s going to kill someone I just I just want no part of the Florida Panthers I’m not interested in what they have to offer I don’t I don’t want them to break us you
Know what I’m saying yeah they destroyed us the other day here if we played the Panthers I would just be happy to win to win a period you know like I I would I would be ecstatic like if somebody said hey you’re going to play the Panthers
I’ll give you a 4-1 loss in the series oh I’ll break your arm shaking your hand you know what saying the Rangers I I I would expect to win a game against the Rangers that’s fair I would go rangers as well because I think the Florida
Panthers are the best team in the East and honestly I would like to see the Detroit New York match up selfishly I think that’d be a little bit more fun and also I think the bottom line is if the Red Wings made the playoffs and got
Swept by either of those teams even if they got outscored something like 16 to four still a wildly successful season I’m not worried about beating either of those teams cuz I don’t think it’s going to happen I would just like to win again so you can put your your hat on the sh
And say hey we w a game that’s fair but it’s still a successful season just if they make it to me at least those two teams are the cryptonite for the Detroit rub Wings unfortunately with how physical they play how aggressive they are and like like I said trouba is going
To destroy our forwards like he’s going to kill one of our forwards if we play them and the only upside is we’ll get clim C playoff minutes if we play the Rangers so hey we we could see that one we’ll set him out there against Ry it
Won’t happen because it never happens in the NHL like this but I I would lock into Panthers Rangers in the Conference Finals I I I would lock into that that would be better than the Stanley Cup finals I I would agree yeah I I want
That as a as a hockey guy I definitely would want that I’ll let’s go red wi Sparty Rangers I guess God Panthers Rangers would be such a physical series man that would be so high L and high it could be like a physical forette is still a monster too oh man man the
Rangers are so good too all right next question fourth minute of the fighting major more important to resign this year Patrick Kane or David pan and Joe valeno because I’m not just doing one one in one because if you do one one one it’s obviously obvious how old’s pan again uh he’s
North of 30 right he is I think he’s mid-30s do you think PK can keep his level of play going P’s 35 yes and and under your scenario we lose them both right yes damn that’s that’s the greatest question that’s ever been asked in the history of a nickel package
Before do I don’t have a feel for that I know what the people are going to say it’s going to be a cane slap F Well because it should be at this point because Patrick Kane is playing like like a superstar right now he’s playing
By the Numbers at a level similar to his Blackhawk days and he’s doing it for us and he’s been very very imp but you got to remember if pan was had Kane spot on the power play before Kane got here sure and it was still pretty good and he was
Good yeah and then he had to slide down to the number two role I would contend that on the power play which is what I’m about and maybe I overvalue it I’ll come clean on that that pan would come in the neighborhood of replacing his production in the neighborhood sure in the
Neighborhood wouldn’t out produce him or anything like that and if you put valeno out there to you see what I’m saying here like a two for one well in valeno also played the onec when uh when Dylan Lin was out Dylan lurin over the course of his career has proven to be durable
But uh it showed me something and it also showed me obviously that they didn’t want to break up the second line but uh yeah I like that L’s chemistry a lot yeah that’s that that’s fair so I would still probably go Patrick Kane but uh shout out too to Joe valeno for
Having the best season of his care a great year he is absolutely no he yeah he is and uh ho harda brings up a good point Kane and pan are only short-term guys valeno is long-term so that that’s got a fact that’s a great question’s
Also one of your best PK guys like BD uh bd3 said that’s a tough question that’s the greatest question that’s the greatest question that’s ever been asked in the history of the nickel package well done again I do it I can I appreciate it all right final minute of
The fighting major are you confident in Alex lion going into the playoffs yeah like have to be right here’s I’ve never felt the way that I felt about a player in a 7 to2 loss that I felt about Alex lion that man was thrown to the Wolves
He making some nasty that night there was not a goalie alive that would have played as well as he played in that they left him out to dry and it’s it was ugly and I I walked away with more confidence in him flannel I did as weird as that
Sounds in a game he got chased and a g thank God he got chased by the way because he didn’t deserve to have all those goals on on his name and they were they obviously you had uh Mo rant did and kale Bard and Nathan McKinnon they just kept coming but
Any that playoff unit or that power play unit for so crazy but uh I would say given the context of I want to see the Red Wings in the playoffs but don’t expect too much when they get there yes I trust Alex lion to help the Red Wings hold on
To that spot because he has played well this year yeah I love Alex lion he has I love Premier Pet Supply I love Premier Pet Supply too and so should you because Premier Pet Supply is hands down Michigan’s P pet store same prices and all the conveniences of the online and

Drive all right keeping it pushing here nickel package Friday Neil Ru s flannel in for dmac we got the Rocks kg and Spencer racks on racks on racks uh check out the heavyweights by the way 5 to seven shout out shout out heavy weights all right nickel package we’ve been
Promising this one this is a good one I enjoy it it is the NFC North Nickel package and guys just as a heads up this is going to be a thing like we need to keep tabs on what’s going on around us in this division NFC North very well
Could be one of if not the best division in football next year business is picking up in the NFC yesterday’s prices are not today’s prices the price of an NFC North brick has gone up it has all bricks white t bricks all right true I got bars first first question of the NFC
North Nickel package Bears what do you expect the return would be if they traded when they trade Justin Fields because it’s going to happen yeah it’s going to you think so yes um I mean like I said I made my piece that I think I like Justin fields and I think
That right now they’d be a better team if they kept Justin Fields but they’re better in the future getting Caleb Williams for sure so here’s the deal uh I think at the end what did we talk about with quarterbacks earlier my favorite supply and demand yeah supply
And demand makes a market it’s really not a big quarterback Market this year and what does that mean means he’s going to go for less than what he’s what he should well no because like it all of a sudden like out of nowhere we’re talking about Baker Mayfield
Getting for four years you see what I’m saying like you’re getting Fields with another year contr I think his value goes up yeah because if you’re desperate like what are these teams going to do what’s Minnesota going to do more on them later but like that that’s how you
Have to look at this you got to look at this kind of long term because I know people will say like the real K Collins says fourth or fifth round no chance no way no chance that’s I told second second minimum if someone’s desperate enough a future first I told you they
Will get a first for Justin Fields might not be in this draft yeah exactly but it’ll be next year though absolutely I’m hey with you you pair Justin Fields with with the right offensive coordinator that can maybe unlock his game the the bottom line is like you can hate on the
Way he throws the ball flannel he is an elite runner in the NFL elite and if you have an elite trait a coordinator can work with that I just rather have an elite tradeit at throwing the ball because I mean of course no no but honestly if you’re the Atlanta Falcons
If you’re the Minnesota Vikings if if you’re the uh the Pittsburgh Steelers and you don’t get Russ for example Justin Fields seems like an attractive option F on Steelers would be dope 100% so uh yeah I expect uh future first second I don’t hate it I’m not a huge
Fan of him as a quarterback but I could see how a team would be excited to get him one that’s in quarterback hell right now and that’s what I’m saying man like desperation the quarterback spot creates desperation unlike any other spot it’s not just any pick this is the first pick
A draft so yep I mean the Falcons might have been a playoff team with a quarterback better than Desmond Ritter the Falcons would have definitely been a playoff team if they had Justin Fields last year I agree with that 100% I agree with that in that division sure and if
The 49ers drafted Justin Fields instead of tre Lance they would have won a Super Bowl I guarantee you I I I believe that that’s disrespectful to Brock pie with Kyle [ __ ] no it’s not Justin Fields is better than Brock that’s lunacy how can you say that right now because what he’s
Dealing with e flu or Kyle Shanahan K Shanahan by a country mile especially offensively I understand that it’s just Justin Fields has not shown anything as a passer but people want to just like anoint him like he’s going to be good someday I needed to see more
Last year and I didn’t if you put Justin fields in the Kyle Shanahan system with pieces like oh I don’t know Christian mcaffry Brandon aoke dbo Samuel and George KD he is going to be a good pass especially when you have Kyle Shanahan calling the plays for him Jimmy garoo
Looked like a top 10 quarterback in that system and he is dirt trash right Justin Fields is better than Jimmy G I just don’t think he’s you can say he better than Brock pie at this point cuz Brock pie had two like one really really good
Year in a row and then of course the year before like half the season I just I want to see more from Justin Fields before I’m ready to say that he’s definitively wor nobody nobody’s saying like he’s a goat or anything like that I’m saying you can win games in the NFL
And he’s got an elite trade Elite if you give if you give Kyle Shanahan a guy like Justin Fields he would make work wonders with him if Brock pie in that system is being a MVP talk about guy imagine a guy like Justin Fields who has electric athletic abilities in that
System oh he’s got electric athletic abilities I just don’t think he can he’s ever going to throw as well as pry did I really don’t I really don’t believe so he get a better offensive line and another receiver I mean who knows yeah I mean their entire offense he has better
Receivers a better tight end obviously a better running back and much better offensive line with one of the best if not the best play callers in the NFL that’s fair he he would be better with the 49ers than with the Bears obviously well who wouldn’t be yeah all right
Second down the Vikings could make some moves and increase their cap space to around $50 million what would you do if you were them well they need a pass rusher right they got to get a pass rusher right but you got to have a quarterback yeah they also need a
Quarterback like what what are they going to do like and and you know they’re they’re letting denil Hunter walk right like yeah what are they doing they can’t afford him well they should let Harrison Smith go that’ll save you about 12 million but that that’s that’s just part of it yeah
Like but what are they going to do with the quarterback spot I have no clue a great question no clue and Justin Jefferson’s watching yeah if I’m Justin Jefferson I don’t want to play on a rebuild why would you no he’s the best in the game right now well he’s going to
Get paid wherever he goes I think he just wants to get the bag I just see paying him 40 million would they be paying him 40 it’d be like 35 that cousins yeah it it be it’ be in the 40 neighborhood it be in the 40b no doubt I
Don’t know man goat Justin Kirk has made so much [ __ ] money in his career and he’s gonna get another thing good at moneymaking Mitch right there facts what he’s he’s got him he’s got him by the balls right short and Cur he’s got him over a barrel cuz what are they going to
Do for real what are you going to go to Justin Jefferson and say hey sign this $140 million four-year contract Um Zack Wilson stepping in to be the quarterback yeah no that’s not going to fly DNC ENT says sign Ross draft JJ Ben or yeah sign
Russ draft JJ well yeah it’s a lions fan please do that I I was talking about it yesterday and me and E were talking about what if the Vikings drafted JJ and Blake Corum because they need a running back too I was like that that would be
Neil’s dream two Michigan players go to his most hated team on the honestly would be yeah if they get rid of cousins I don’t think drafting JJ is a bad move I don’t honestly I like JJ as a prospect yeah he might not make it that far yeah
They don’t they don’t have they would have to move Capital right to do that quick sidebar quick sidebar I’m sorry all you Michigan and lions fans that are saying the Lions should draft Lake corm in the third round are [ __ ] drunk that is you are smoking crack there is
No reason the Detroit Lions should draft a third string quarterback or running back in the third round that is the dumbest [ __ ] I’ve ever heard like I running back he would be your third string running back you don’t draft that in the third round you know I’ll take
This further if I’m Blake Korum I don’t want to go to the Lions I want to go right to be the the number two honestly it’s not going to be in Detroit they got the best backfield in the NFL vlay says flannel pants would be on the ground if
That happened can you confirm on the ground if uh JJ and corm both meet up in Minnesota I mean I’d rather them be somewhere else but I think JJ to Minnesota is a good spot if they if they get rid of cousins they need they would
Need a quarterback and he might be the best one available at that point I’m glad I’m glad the chat is agreeing with me because they’re smart and they know what they’re talking about that is that is very very good all right what we got next I like Blake gorm as as
A person I don’t really like him as an NFL prospect personally because of the mileage the injuries and his size but drafting him in the third round to the Lions would be just that would be treason that would be treason all right uh next question Packers need a safety
Pretty badly seems to be a pretty good time to go shopping for a safety doesn’t it this kind of [ __ ] happens for the Packers all the time it really does like the like the the area they’re deficient in just so happens where 11 of them got cut yesterday only got five former pro
Bowlers that are sitting out there right now at the moment they need a safety the most hey but as I said before all those safeties had down years I if I were the Packers I would resign one of Darnell savage or Rudy Ford I would at least one
Of them I think they go Justin Simmons I mean yeah Justin Simmons obviously has a pedigree but I think he’s the best out of who’s who’s out there I agree with you 100% a Packers yeah I would not like that no but you that’s that that’s a good point
Though cuz there’s there’s safeties who have been great at least at some points in their career even recently that are just coming available every day this it’s so I hope the Packers make the worst move in sign Jamal Adams I hope they do too they hope they do Jamal
Adams is going to be out of the league he sucks he’s not good he sucks all right fourth down all right fourth down fourth question of the NF NFC North Nickel package bonus Bears they’re reportedly in the mix for denil hun God when does their defense get scary to
You that would make their defense extremely scary to absolutely and this is what I’m trying to drive home everybody and I’ve been saying it and I get laughed at mocked scorned ridiculed every time I bring this up and you guys continue to ignore it but it’s real be
They are in the mix building they’re F to be a player for them like when is it enough guys when do they have your attention Hill cap space like come on now I think you could argue that their defense was dangerous is last year they were the number one rushing defense in
The NFL and you know when montz sweat got here got there he played the best football of his career he basically gave them a pass rush and jayen Johnson was the best corner in the League last year he allowed a 33.3 passer rating allowed which is insane TJ Edwards was one of
The best linebackers last year had over 150 tackles three picks two and a half sacks I mean at every level they’ve got dudes and if you put denil Hunter and Montes sweat on the same defensive line that’s the best book and pass rushers in the NFL by far that’s 30 sacks in in
Their sleep so yes are they already have my attention in terms of their defense if they get denil Hunter I I don’t even want to Fathom that yeah that would suck I don’t don’t let it happen Lions uh wward sports.com chat thread uh that’s message scroll by so my apologies but
Somebody asked what do David Montgomery uh contract look like he’s a very high paid running back this year he’s got two more years I think like six million each right yeah but they yeah they they took a haircut on the front end of that deal
In order and added a little to the back end but you do if you wanted to if you did want to like move on because they asked about like the cap casualty situation in 2025 you could let him go save about 9 million in cap space take on Two and a
Quarter a dead cap that might happen that’s probably I I could definitely yeah that might happen J Gibbs takes the next step get a back behind him keep the Train Roll the ecosystem keeps going the ecosystem keeps going uh fifth down I want to do when we come back from the

Well I see Terry Foster lurking which alert me that he may be on the final word today is that is that true can we go to is this thing working yes that is accurate you know it’s the great thing about being on the final word you get water huh water no no all
You have to do is turn to MZ and say neat or on the Block and they give you a double shot of bourbon that’s all you got today Terry you said something interesting about uh Michigan and the Detroit Lions when we were in the break yes I think all of you
Are idiots don’t you realize that the solution for the Lions every year is to purge the Michigan’s roster and just bringing them up to the line you’re right you going to learn your lessons you’re absolutely right who you on with today brillan Alexander Edwards there
You go and Ma and maass there it is two to four on the final word the final word tap in everybody tfos my guy good to see him as as always um but we had fifth down of the nickel package hit me with it Spenny fifth down of the nickel
Package simple and sweet who wins the Division next year the Lions the lions come on now now yes but I I I want to for warn everybody yeah okay this isn’t going to be the walkover that it was last year you’re not going to you’re not going to win the division before you
Finish your Christmas shopping this year all right it’s not going to go down like that the schedule’s harder the teams are better you see what I’m saying like there’s going to be some struggles at some time and and out on another limb you might see the Lions lose two games
In a row next year at some point you might now I know that will shake every fan every Lions fan cuz we’re not used to that after it happens one year where they could lose two games in a row flannel they could and uh honestly if
They do I’m not going to be mad at Lions fans for panicking a little bit just a little bit I know that like you’re trying to be more reasoned and everything but uh that’s such a hard thing to do back to back understand but remember when the 49ers lost three in a
Row I I get that I’m just saying that the Lions have to win the division again they’ve got a I think it’s super bowl or Buss personally so they’ve got to find a way and I still think that they’re the best team in the NFC I understand that
The Green Bay Packers they were almost the Lions opponent in the NFC championship game so you got to take them seriously and the Bears especially if they add denil hunter that defense would be frightening but I just it’s got to be the Lions it has to be they’re
Good too I’m I’m sick of this narrative that oh we got a a harder schedule we we’re a better team too so and I expect them through free agency and the draft to improve this team and four and uh 5- one two years ago 4-2 last year the line
I still I think that’s definitely repeatable the 4-2 5 And1 in the division definitely repeatable it’s just like it’s not going to be the walkover that it was last year everybody so just be prepared you know I like to tell people be prepared forers are coming the
Bears we still don’t know but I I would be on the lookout for them too I tell you what I’ll take it a step further as my high school special teams coach coach essid used to say be prepared to be prepared be fact oh I like that one I
Like that one yeah that was my guy pun pun Co coach was the man no I I do I do uh I like that one a lot man so whenever uh the other coaches were like doing their meetings as like cuz they were teachers so they had to get taken away
Like one day of the week for our conditioning coach I said would just let us run Air Force which is basically just ultimate first be with the football yeah instead of doing the 10 lapses Air Force football’s dope oh yeah I remember playing that in gym there so much fun
Yep you can catch the pass off the bounce it’s wild man it was absolutely wild uh art vanderlay brayan’s probably flying around Detroit right now just preventing crime before the show if you guys haven’t caught that by the way incredible story about brillan Edwards working out at the gym yep imagine
Thinking you’re tough fighting an 80-year-old man and then seeing bril Edward oh [ __ ] that dude probably hit him with the the smoke he’s like oh that’s different that is the greatest piece of evidence that Karma exists because he was beating up on even brillan didn’t
Even know this he thought he was in his 60s he was an 80-year-old man and your reward for that is getting brillan Edwards a former NFL player who are greater physical specimen unicorn NFL player absolutely a greater physical specimen than any of us could ever hope
To be just like coming to restrain you you’re done I remember like me and bril were messing around in the hallway and he was showing me like how he’d be a pressed and like he was like press on me like you’re pressing me off the line but
I was like all right so I put like I went to press on him and he chopped my arms that [ __ ] hurt soad he bruised my arm for like and it wasn’t even like full pot he just like swiped it down it’s just damn like him and dmac yeah
People don’t understand around these guys like even like Joy when I saw Jo and stick was like oh I could tackle Joy when I was no [ __ ] no you can’t Joy’s legs are refrigerators like those guys are different like he’s it’s funny too cuz they they’re both here at the
Network yeah I don’t want anything that Jo Bell has to offer absolutely not he’s a giant human I would see him walk in the door and go now now imagine like you’re in an NFL game like playing for money and you have to bring that down
Yeah yep it’s not easy no joy Bell legitimately looks like he could play right now yes he does great shape like right now mhm I mean even Lindsey Hunter he’s another one I mean man it’s actually it’s quite it speaks to how much of a privilege it is to be around
Professional athletes all the time but even Lindsey Hunter like and I’m not saying this just to disparage him but on the basketball court he doesn’t look that big but when you see him in person it’s like [ __ ] he’s taller than me and the hands the hands of players yeah it’s
Incredible man absolutely like I think I have big hands and then I dab up Lindsay I’m like oh [ __ ] well everybody has big hands compared to JJ McCarthy that is true does have tiny hands yes he does 9 in can you hold a Whopper I was I was yeah

Facts and [ __ ] that terrorist Jay Johnson is not calling the offense anymore so it’s easily going to be that threat to National Security yeah I can’t believe that bum got another [ __ ] job hey the networks are deep Bro yeah the networks are deep and they take up for
Each other AD 411 what seed would Oakland be in the tournament Neil my guess would be a 13 13 or a 14 depending on how the rest of them shake out but just judging off the Horizon league tournament the two- seed three seed and
Four seed all lost last night so I got a feeling it’s going to be wild you know if you get a bunch of you know seven seeds from the socon that went it that will bump everybody that’ll bump everybody up a couple of spots uh the
Away fan uh passed my CDL test this morning official CDL holder shout out man absolutely congratulations absolutely the away fan props to you uh what else do we have in here uh Mason leech flannel what’s your thoughts on Ward Manuel bringing back Jawan Howard for another season oh you know his
Thoughts no it’s I mean you know my thoughts it’s an absolute embarrassment Michigan basketball doesn’t take it they they’re not a serious program they’re the worst program in all of power five after having an entire run of great success and even the beginning of Jan like the entire run with beine or at
Least the last part of the run with beine and then the first couple years Jan were pretty good they’ve went to the gutter in three years it’s an embarrassment uh Todd saying Neil what’s been your favorite game to call in your career like the actual game itself and I
Think tfos was in the building for that one Michigan State and Oakland at the palace Michigan state was number one in the nation and we had K Felder and it went to overtime such an electric highlevel game it’s to this day it was the largest crowd in the history of the palace that
The the funny fact too Oakland and Michigan state had the highest basketball crowd in the history of Little Caesar’s Arena as well so remember that also uh and then my first NBA game obviously was probably my favorite because I made it to the NBA you know so no no matter what
Happens you know I I made it to the league so I that I’m real proud of that one too so that one uh that one is out there as well uh saggy Richard flannel should I kiss my sister on the the first date or wait a time or two
What Jesus Christ go for it brother all right what you got to lose I’m your sister yeah what you got to lose man Spencer raer answered that one for you um Stephen David Jeff leopard sucks Stephen David are we getting excited for the draft in Detroit yet it is starting

Lose the garbage patch
@Sam Reynolds you do great research. Your stat quoting would be better received if you admitted that stats are part of the story not the end and all. Keep working though. you are appreciated and a good sport… M go Blue
All things considered, you'd think @Sam Reynolds would appreciate a guy whose succeeds despite a lack of talent. Like Matt Howard
Sam’s literally right and people trash him for it. People always cry about Tomlin having bad QBs but he’s the fucking coach. He controls who his QBs are. He’s the one who chose to draft Pickett. He’s the one who chose to keep Rudolph for 10 years. He’s the one who hasn’t coached them well enough.
Never understood why everyone on this network lets Neil be so arrogant and so obnoxious all the time
