There's a guy in Richmond, Virginia named King Nutt. You could pull off several firsts and a second and maybe a fifth and a seventh because you've got that much invested in.
SPEAKER_01He ended up on the radio now and then talking sports.
SPEAKER_04What happened on Saturday is not gonna happen on Sunday, just like what happened on Friday night doesn't happen on Saturday. He's even got good life advice.
SPEAKER_01You slap your wife, you going to jail. With this kind of talent, he needs a sidekick. We'll call him Fabio. And I like the way you're talking. With cell phone in hand, he's a sports talk freak show.
SPEAKER_02How are they gonna be able to bond as a team? And that defense hasn't proven anything. They're gonna be able to put up a ton of points, possibly, but how many are they gonna give up?
SPEAKER_01But then along comes another sports talk know it all.
SPEAKER_03They had every opportunity to win that game.
SPEAKER_01His name is Rodney.
SPEAKER_03Especially if they get home field advantage. Only got to win two games.
SPEAKER_01He uh also sponsors the show. World-class talent like this shouldn't go to waste. So the next step, come up with a podcast with a stupid name. Don't drop the soap sports. Don't drop the soap sports. Wow. From the capital of the Commonwealth of Virginia, this is the Don't Drop the Soap Sports Podcast. Here's the host, King Nutt, and the other host, Fabio.
SPEAKER_04Uh, one, two, three, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to another episode of Don't Drop the Soap Sports. Brought to you by Rodney Cole Insurance Agency at Rodney Cole Insurance Agency.com or 804 6208. Give them a call for any insurance needs you have. I mean any. You might think of stuff that they don't insure, but I bet they do. Great staff over there. If you can't find him in the office, go a little bit further deeper into Mechanicsville, Virginia, and find him at Game Day Grill. Facing 301, it's got some odd address of Judith Lane. I mean, hell it for 301 to me, it should be Chamberlain Avenue, but it's 804-789-8005. Great food, great staff. Cold, ice cold. On draft shock top with a big ass piece of orange. Not that I drink that. I'm just very thankful that they have it there on draft. In the uh dwellings of Deep Post Appalachia, North Carolina, is my boy and what I'm assuming the latest golf winner's best friend, since he's a hickory guy, is Fabio Ira Peters. Ira, how are you? Going well. Hope you are.
SPEAKER_02Did that guy call you after he won? We talked a week before. I gave him he was struggling with some mental stuff. I talked to him. He got it. We got it under control. He's he's good to go now.
SPEAKER_03All you had to do is show him how mentally unstable you are. Then he felt a lot better. He's like, I'm good. Let's go. Now do you know him, sir?
SPEAKER_04No, I haven't I've never met the boy. And uh he is still a resident, right? It's not he's just not from there. I think he still lives there, right?
SPEAKER_02You know, we're not that close. I don't know.
SPEAKER_04Damn it, man.
SPEAKER_02Damn it. That's your job to know. He's in your back door. How good was that tournament for him? That was pretty awesome. He gave it away in that last round and then uh come back and handled business there in the playoff. He he was uh very he's known to be very even kill, and he he played he played it that way. So I was I was really happy for him. Obviously, he's won four tournaments. That was by far the best tournament he's ever won. So uh good for him.
SPEAKER_04I once won a golf tournament that nobody else showed up to.
SPEAKER_02Well, I'm gonna go. So it didn't matter what I shot.
SPEAKER_04He won it in a playoff, though. Yeah, I played myself in a playoff. All right, let's get down to it. Here's what I'd tell you. We're in the midst of things. We're gonna cover a little College World Series. Those eight teams are set. I'm excited for that. I'll get into the HL a little bit, but currently we had uh Ira saying San Antonio and seven, we had Rodney saying San Antonio and five, possibly six. Uh the Knicks get out to a two-nothing lead, and then Trump messes it up for them, according to every Democrat on the planet, and shows up and uh the Knicks lose. I'll go to you first, Rodney. What was the difference in game three that wasn't there in game one and two?
SPEAKER_03Definitely could have been two-one San Antonio. They were in control of game two at the end and just didn't finish it off, but they uh got tired of getting pushed around and gave some of uh New York's physicality back to them, and now everybody's uh complaining about the officials. It's the same game they played before, just one team was doing all the pushing and shoving and grabbing, and now the other team has decided they're gonna do it also. San Antonio's a better team. I think the relief in New York is they are deeper. They play more players, but the top eight guys, San Antonio is better.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I saw that too. I thought I mean San Antonio could have won them all. They let Brunson get uh hot in the end of the first game. They had the second game one with a crazy turnover there towards the end of the game, or right at the very end of the game, and then they continue to get out to this 5'10, 11, 12 point lead in the first quarter, take Wemby out, and they catch back up, and it feels like it's a struggle from then on out. So they need to figure out the time when they when Bajama gets his first break. That seems to be where uh New York really excels and either ties it back up, and it looks like San Antonio gets tired during that time uh trying to defend, or maybe it's shorter break, whatever it needs to be. But I saw a team that had played better, just hadn't had the results, and finally did get the results uh uh the other night. Uh don't expect anything different tonight. I think it'll be another close game. I we talked about it last week. It's gonna be whoever executes there in the last couple of minutes, and that's what each game has come down to. Who steps up when the lights are the brightest? And uh uh Wimbanyama did it this time, uh Brunson did it in the first game, and uh, you know, just an air, a mental error in the second game, give that game to New York. So I I believe it'll be a really good series. I think it will go seven. The Spurs will still end up pulling it out.
SPEAKER_03Dylan Harper is a star in the making. He is. He can play, and there have been times that he is the best player on the court and just says, I'm taking over.
SPEAKER_04I've done the same in many a church league basketball game. I mean, there was times when I was youth league that wasn't church league. I was clearly the best on the field court. It was smaller field. So small sample size. I was only good for about three minutes at a time. Yeah, let me let me close the NBA. Let me ask you a question. Uh again, you had seven, San Antonio, Rodney had five, can't finish at five. Does San Antonio win at six now, Rodney? Yes, sir. Do you still got San Antonio winning Ira? Yeah, I still have them in seven. All right. Enough of that. I don't know what I'm talking about. But I'll go on to the NHL. Great game again last night. It's a 2-2 series. I didn't expect Vegas would hang. I will give the listening audience a little humor here since I bet little $5 chip bets all the time. And damn if I didn't hit an exact last night, $5 for $155 on an exact score, $4-2. $5-3. $5-3, I mean, on the well, I bet four to two. I bet on everything. Anyway, I won $155 on five, and then I looked at my balance and I said, How in the hell do I got $165? I won $155. Well, I bet mistakenly $55 on Vegas to win five to three, which would have paid $1,700. Now, as much as I want Carolina to win, I certainly would have taken that win last night from Vegas. I will tell you, folks, if you're not a hockey fan, you pay close attention to this hockey, these guys are fast and big, and it's like every other league we watch. They get faster and they get bigger. And this thing is a violent sport. It is done extremely well to itself on marketing, merchandising, planning. So kudos again. NBA has one way of doing it, NHL has another, but it's it's a close model of the NFL, and that's what's working. Rodney, where are we at in baseball in the major leagues now? That is something. Now I will tell you before you start, the Pirates were in second this time last week. They're in last again or next to last now.
SPEAKER_03No, sir. No, sir. They're in third.
SPEAKER_04Well, somebody else must have lost a bunch more. They lost and then just so you know, my kid goes ballistic. Skeens is pitching yesterday against the Dodgers, leaves in the sixth inning, up 2-1. They lose the game 12-5.
SPEAKER_03They have up seven in the next inning, I believe. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04That guy is the guy that should be out in the clubhouse getting punched.
SPEAKER_03Anyway, go for it. I want to lead it off with my Yankees. They're doing about the same as they've done all year long. They'll win three or four in a row, lose a couple, win five or six, lose four or five. They're starting pitching. If Freed is healthy or can get back to healthy, they got three guys at the top that are going to be as good as anybody. The one that's amazing to me is the kid from Milwaukee who threw sixty-some odd percent of his pitches over a hundred miles an hour. Broke the record the other day for a 103.7, hardest pitch ever thrown by a starting pitcher. Sticking with my Brewers and Breaves for my National League. I think the Yankees, a little homer there, will be representing the American League. But you do have to like the Tampa Bay Rays. Did Cleveland beat New York last night? They did not. Okay. Did not? Bellinger? I'm sorry, Bellinger got the hit the night before. The rookie hit his first home run, hit a bomb last night for the Yankees. Flipping that back and forth. Ira uh who are you on on baseball still?
SPEAKER_02I still think Dodgers, uh, till the proven they can't do it, I think are doing it. Their uh National League West rival, the uh Padres, have just really slipped here lately. They fell on fallen almost ten games back. They're only two over 500 now. Yeah, which is crazy. They were they were right there. They were leading. They were neck and neck.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. So I don't know. Let me let me ask you, Ira, what's the difference in the Braves? Nobody had nobody had this. I mean, they had them better than what anybody thought it was going to be. They're banging on people, too. I mean, they're scoring runs, and I don't think that was a problem last year. I think it was exactly what you said. I think they gave up runs, but wow, it's that's not the case this time around.
SPEAKER_03You know, they're rolling. They're plus minus, they're plus one fifteen. Outscored their opponents by 115. Only the Dodgers are better than that. And the Braves probably have a third of the Dodgers payroll. Oh Lord. No problem with that.
SPEAKER_04That's the way the game is. It's I'm telling you, uh that's one of the things I like about for all the sh the NFL does, I love the hard cap. They're the only one that makes the cap as hard as rock. And and you you you know, you gotta play instead of just paying luxury taxes or like the NBA and MLB. Let me quickly before we move off to something else here off baseball, are are there is there are there MVP candidates that are creeping away from others as you see it now?
SPEAKER_02How can O'Tani not always be in that talk, right? I think Aaron Judge would have been in it. I know he's gotten hurt here and he's gonna be out for a while, but I Otani's just gonna be so hard to beat in in any MVP race as long as he's continuing to do what he's doing.
SPEAKER_03He had a stat the other day, my son was telling me last night, he had personally hit more home runs and had more RBIs than he had given up and he had pitched.
SPEAKER_04Didn't the other night pitch five innings and had five hits too, right? Like something crazy. Like he pitched five innings and then during the same game had five hits.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, he's one in a hundred men or whatever number you want to come up with time, generally.
SPEAKER_02He'll be somebody we have we haven't paid enough attention to when he's done, we'll be like, he did what?
SPEAKER_03You know, here though, they they just won't allow you to do that. It's like you have to specialize in pitching, or you're gonna be a yeah, uh a hitter and a defensive player.
SPEAKER_04He also is a relatively quiet fellow, right? Like not a lot of now. I know he's caught some sh one for being a little caught it for gambling and throwing his buddy under the bus. Yeah, but I I I but I think he's relatively quiet, right? When it comes to the me, me, me. You know, he answers the question.
unknownHe does.
SPEAKER_04I bet he's a humble guy. I bet he's humble. How about that? I bet he bets more than hundreds, I bet he bets more than $55 at a time, too. I didn't mean that. I bet $55. I meant the butt five. Damn it, man. Now, the damn Toyotas in Michigan riding around a track, flipping a bird off to GM and Ford and hell, Chrysler for good matter, since they think they're coming. Is it motor? Is it car? Because they're all built to template. Ira driver. I mean, I think they got a pretty good stable driver. It ain't the driver. What is the car, Ira?
SPEAKER_02What's the difference? Chevy's still trying to figure out that arrow package with that car, and they this was the best that they had performed at a track where Arrow mattered in a long time. You had uh Larson up front a long time, you had Elliott up front there for a long time, you had Hosevar up there in the Chevy's, you had Suarez up there, so they would you had a lot of those Chevy's that were there, but when it comes to the pay window opening up, that's when the toy uh Denny Hamlin's Toyota took off. He ended up winning that race by 11 seconds, which I believe.
SPEAKER_04Hey, yeah. How about Richard Petty's car finishing second there for Toyota?
SPEAKER_02And he rent he was probably the best long run car, but at the end of the race, he still wasn't he wasn't catching up. Uh Denny was still pulling away from the from everyone. They're gonna find out he's cheating. Oh, goodness. Hamlin.
SPEAKER_04Oh, damn. Now I'm gonna have 15 emails this week about the insurance guy saying Hamlin's a cheater. In fact, it was I I expect good jokes. I mean, you know, like I said, generationally, my generation, yours too, Gen X will say something inappropriate all the time because we don't care about hurting other people's feelings like other generations did.
SPEAKER_02Well, you gotta hurt them before yours get hurt.
SPEAKER_04That's a true story. Yeah, I'm I'm very very sensitive. And as we go into so you go to Pocono this week, and I think that's a Hamlin performing track, right? That's yeah, that's where he won his first race ever. Okay. Now let me ask you a question. If you go deep in the field and somebody that you say, damn, he's been right there, is this a track Bubba Wallace wins on?
SPEAKER_02No. No, but he'll he'll be top ten, I would imagine, if he can control his temper during that during the race, because something's gonna happen that's gonna piss him off. Just what's he gonna do about it? Is he gonna hook the guy and turn him into the wall or is he gonna, okay, let me regroup and come back after him? But I think he he has a top ten speed every week. It's just uh between them ears sometimes uh causes him to do things that he shouldn't do.
SPEAKER_04What about Larson and Chase Elliott and I I think the kidney eighty-eight's all but gone, right? Didn't they say that they're they got something coming from Bowman?
SPEAKER_02Um I would imagine he's yeah, I'd imagine this is his last uh last stint in it. I don't know who they'll stick in it, but maybe Johnson coming back.
SPEAKER_03He didn't do any worse in that car.
SPEAKER_04He wouldn't do any worse, that's for sure. And then the Ford camp, which is is not I think front row's even Chevy now, right? They had left Ford. Yeah. Blaney, that you know, Baron's.
SPEAKER_02Bernard's been the best Ford. Yeah, the second best Ford has been Zane Smith here recently. He's actually run really good. Had a good run last week and uh ended up cutting a tire down and slamming it in the wall, but he had a good run. I see Blaney running this good. Busher will probably run good in that Ford. He's he's the best out of the uh Keslowski group. I'm not sure how your dad would have said that. Kalsowowski. Okay. Kalsowowski.
SPEAKER_04No clue. That's uh Hyundai uh Toyota Kalsowowski.
SPEAKER_03I mean, if it wasn't Smith, he didn't get it right. How does he how would he have done with our current governor? Oh God.
SPEAKER_04Dude, that guy had best political shirts. He had one. There's a picture downstairs, had Bill and Hillary on the front of it, and it said, Let Lion Dog Sleep. And I I mean he the guy had no filter and he had the biggest set of balls because he'd wear stuff inappropriate in public, waiting for a response. Yeah, waiting for somebody to come say something to him so he could and and I would have to remind him sometime. I'm like, hey man, just turn that back because it ain't that ain't exactly how it happened. I know that's what so I'm on your side, but yeah, that's not how it went down.
SPEAKER_02The wreck that yeah, the wreck that Christopher Bell had last week was registered as the hardest hit in the next gen car ever. So if you think about how hard he hit that wall uh in turn four when he got pushed in up in there by Elliot, uh it broke the retaining wall, it collapsed almost to the concrete wall, and the kid walks out and only has a broken wrist. All the past things that have happened got NASCAR to where they've built these cars where these young men can get in them and get out of them uh relatively unscathed. It was a time when it wasn't like that in the early 2000s when we had people getting uh either injured really bad like Jerry Naydu did, or people getting killed like Kenny Irwin did, and uh Nima Chek's son and all those guys, Adam Petty and uh uh and obviously Aaron Hart or Talladega, but you see, I mean at Daytona, but where you see a man hit that hard where they have the black uh red flag to race and uh fix the wall, and he walks away with just a broken wrist. And it was really cool that Elliot went up to him, made sure he was alright. So just a hard, hard, massive hit, and uh just glad to see him get out of that car.
SPEAKER_04A lot of these kids are friends now, like they do simulator stuff together, and and they can get mad at each other, but it's not like the old days. You know, the old days fighting. Yeah, well or you know, Rusty Wallace. I remember watching an interview, go, yeah, or you know, Tony Stewart. What happened, Tony? I can tell you I'm gonna bust his ass. That's what I'm gonna do. I want that. I love that he asked it was okay, etc. I appreciate you bringing that up. College Softball World Series was a good one. It's over. Yeah, I get, but it's over. Again, I love that college world series. Love uniforms a lot. Uh, but the baseball, what a game in Carolina to beat SC to keep going. What a game between Ole Miss and Auburn. What a game. I mean, those two games with Georgia LA hit 20 home runs. Yeah, those 20 home runs in those two games or 12 in one game. I think it was 17 total. The OUVA coaches there. Yeah. Stay there. But now we got the lineup, and I think it's gonna be dynamite. I think it starts this weekend. You have Carolina uh with uh OO Miss, right? And you got Troy and West Virginia, you got uh Alabama and Oklahoma, who's gonna be shocking in there, and then you got uh Texas and Georgia. ACC was not represented last year for the first time since 2009, I believe. Not represented this year either. Oh, goodness. Ira, if they don't find the insurance guy today, I had nothing to do with it. I just want to go insurance is your injury. How good is your insurance paid up just in case they may find you floating somewhere in a local river?
SPEAKER_03It would be awesome to see Troy or West Virginia first appearances. Can you imagine if West Virginia wins it and they're playing that theme theme song? Hey, let me let me tell you.
SPEAKER_04So I'm gonna tell you what what what I see. One, when it comes to baseball, it's not basketball, it's not football. So you do have people that will have interest for those teams. Troy not being there before West Virginia. And it's adhering to the West Virginia coach because he talked about his time being there and the kids buying into what it was gonna take to build a program to get there. They believed and they win. You hate to see like and I again it's all I shouldn't think like it this way because they're not kids anymore. They're getting paid just like a damn pro is. But the Carolina last game, if the kid catches the pop-up towards the third baseline, ball game's over, or at least they get an extra inning out of it. Then the kid in center field kind of short arms it because he Timmy Saddlered it, and nobody knew he was close to the fence, and you know, nobody gave him the verbiage like, hey, you got room, whatever it is, and he's short. I feel bad for those kids that A thought they were gonna win for eight innings against a team far more, not just a better team, but one that's uh elevated from a national spotlight. Now, SC is a great college baseball school, but Carolina was getting all the attention. They were gonna walk into Chapel Hill, they won the first game, Carolina stayed alive, they had a chance.
SPEAKER_03Do you won? What that center fielder was thinking. Only because if you make the catch, the game's over. If you don't catch it, the game's over. It's the last play. He slid instead of diving. I don't think somebody's saying it Oh no. It has to be because he thought he was going to hit the fence. Any other time you're laying out because that's it.
SPEAKER_04Hey, make the catch and the play before when it pops up down the third baseline. That's a concrete, that's a brick wall down there. So old Bud thought better of his teeth and whatnot. He was still had another what, hour or two feet, three, three feet. Yeah, he had move room. Not a lot, but not a lot, but enough where I gotta tell you, I'm making a career decision too. I mean, these damn teeth, I'm getting ready to get them replaced again now. I got no opportunity. The Carolina fans were standing right there hollering, whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh, I'm sure. I'm sure.
SPEAKER_03That's right. I tell it. They were telling him to shit to pull up.
SPEAKER_04Save your teeth. What has brought the lure of the college world series back, Ira? What what's what's made people stay?
SPEAKER_02Is it TV? What what's done it? Baseball's a game where you you're gonna have more long shots in there. And and you just talked about two of them. Troy and West Virginia are Cinderella stories, and it continues to happen each year. And the more that it gets published uh televised, the better that the more people that are putting eyes on it and and see that that these young guys, not that the pros, not that they're not getting paid now, but they're not getting paid what the guys and at the next level are going to be get paid. But seeing them play and it's hard how hard they typically play, that's the lore of it. And people just it's still the it's still our pastime. It may not be our passion any longer, but it is still our pastime uh where people want to see these these young men play well. Always rooting for a long shot, and they have a great chance of winning them.
SPEAKER_03It's the best combination of men and women. Softball world series is a huge draw. Baseball World Series, it's the best combo. Better there obviously there's no football for women, but basketball, the men draw, but the women and the men both draw softball and baseball.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, and and uh again, I go back to the women are fundamentally more sound than any, but I love to watch college baseball because every kid is moving. There's still something unprofessional about it, if that makes any sense. They don't walk. Yeah. They don't walk on the field. No, no. When you're at the dugout, you're running. You're gone. Let's go. There is. I just think you know, well, here's the here's the problem, too. Here's the problem, too. I or we mentioned about pulling for underdog, you got tell television getting there. The problem is there are so many backstories of this. One of them I was watching the Nebraska, whoever beat Nebraska, that game was in rain delay. So they went to Texas and showed that their two former major leaguers is the pitching coach, and then the other is the hit instructor and slash infield coach, and they knew they would be better coaches and players, and they're committed to the program. And so they got a head coach that's like, hell, I got kids that are smarter than me that are on the staff. So there's all kind of backstory to this. Uh, again, I don't, I'm pulling for all of them to do well. I think it's one of, again, like the 68 team NCAA basketball. I think this is a very good time for college sports, and it should be worthy of watching.
SPEAKER_00Refreshingly cool after coming in from a hot day. The perfect temperature to kick back and relax in front of a TV.

SPEAKER_01You're listening to the Don't Drop the Soak Sports Podcast with King Nutt, Fabio, and Rodney.
SPEAKER_04I'm going to give you both an open question. It came to me via Facebook, and I got really my answer back to that particular person. I'm going to ask start with Rodney first. NFL dog days of summer, so they've done a great job making themselves relevant. Doesn't matter what time of year it is, they got a damn show, they got a draft, they got a the combine. They they have done everything to keep themselves relevant. From now until camp starts, there may be some deals that are reworked, there may be a trade that happens, but we're waiting for camp to start. Is there a story you think we're gonna see over the next thirty days ish before that camp gets full in that we need to pay attention to?
SPEAKER_03Just like the trade that happened a couple weeks ago with the Rams and the Browns. Somewhere along the next thirty days, something's gonna happen and you're gonna feel like did not see that coming, or didn't see that coming now, maybe later. Somebody's gonna go somewhere that you're not expecting, and Rogers decides to come back. That's already done. But a year ago, that was kind of where we were. What's the big thing that's gonna happen? You just you know it's gonna happen, you just don't know what team, or you don't know who is going to be.
SPEAKER_04How about the kid that got in an argument with Jackson Dart? He went down last week and they carred him off. That could have been huge for them. Thankfully, he's okay, but that kind of stuff could happen. I will. Iraq is gonna go down. Yeah, it is. Unintentional. Those non-contact things are the worst thing ever. Ira, what do you see over this next 30-day stretch here?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, some of the things that I that I look forward to is those joint practices. Something always comes out of those. Yeah, I fight, whether it's Raiders at the uh Cowboys, whoever it is, but there's something always happens there, and there's going to be some superstar that something's gonna happen to. It it always happens, and it's more and more of these uh non-contact, and you just talked about it, non-contact injuries. I don't know what it's why it's become that way, but we're seeing more and more of that every single year. So that's really what I look forward to. And then heck, before you know it, you got the Hall of Fame game coming up on August 6th. So I mean, it's two mega powerhouses, it's the Panthers and the Cardinals. So that'll set the precedent for the year right there.
SPEAKER_04Usually they pick one that has somebody going in. Who's the Cardinals? Who of them have is Luke Keekly going in? Is has he been done long enough?
SPEAKER_03He's retired long enough, and he definitely should be in.
SPEAKER_04I I can't remember who went. I th it may be him. Golly, that was spot on too about what what happens. There's Larry Fitzgerald. Larry Fitzgerald, there you go.
SPEAKER_02Luke Keekley and Luke Keekley. Okay, so there you have it. I was Roger Craig, Adam Vinateri, and some guy named Drew Brees. I've never heard of him.
SPEAKER_04Well, him and Vinateri the same size. One kicks and one throws. Vinateri kicks it a whole lot farther than Drew Brees ever threw it. I don't know about that. You should throw it three yards.
SPEAKER_03Go turn around, I'm gonna throw it too.
SPEAKER_04This guy, and that's what I'm getting ready to close the show with. Here's an irritated scab off the insurance guy. We've sh pissed him off with Drew Breeze. Well, clearly he wasn't a Breeze fan. I'm gonna start this with you and then Rodney's gonna close. What the hell's wrong with Brandon Iouk? Where do you want to start? I mean The f a guy made a 30-second video and put it on Twitter or Instagram. What the hell's wrong with him?
SPEAKER_02I think some of these guys get think that they're uh that they're more valuable than they are, that people are gonna take them no matter what. And I hope the NFL says, you know what, you're not as good as you think you are. I mean, for the last two years, he's been jerking everybody's chain where he's going. 49ers did exactly the right thing. Even when he that he was healthy enough to play, they didn't play him. And I I respect the what they've done as far as that. He's he's more of a distraction than he is a uh positive player on a team. So I just think he thinks he's that they can they can't do without him, and I sure hope they prove that they can.
SPEAKER_03That also tells you how money the the 49ers had a good team last year and probably four times. Well, I'm saying they could have used him. They definitely could have. But they'd say we'd rather throw this money down the toilet.
SPEAKER_04You're not bigger than the game guy. You're not bigger than the game. And what happened are known for doing that. Correct. I mean, I like that. I repeat that. Kaepernick, you they've done it. I mean, but but what gets me is the way this guy's added. Now, if you're another team and I want to meet the team, God hope please ain't the Steelers. But I want to meet the team that signs them, and then I want to go throat punch a GM like, are you a dumbass? Have you watched this guy?
SPEAKER_03If history repeats itself, who would one of those teams be? It would be my Raiders. It could be the Raiders, it could be the Browns, it could be the Jets. Oh, yeah, I guess that's right. There's multiple teams out there that have done that thing, that type of thing before.
SPEAKER_02Well, it's I can see Kansas City doing it.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Somebody that has to be different.
SPEAKER_03Kansas City would do it with the thought of we have enough guys in this locker room. He's talented. Enough guys in this locker room, we can straighten him out. Not that they want to deal with his BS, because if he doesn't straighten out, they'll send him down the road. But he could get in that locker room with some of those guys.
SPEAKER_04I not disagreeing, but here's what I tell you. There's certain ones that you're not gonna fix. They may walk the line. Randy Moss did a great job when he went to New England. He became the ultimate patriot. Didn't hear a word from him. He paid, but he had Antonio Brown didn't. And he didn't in Oakland, and he didn't in you know, my or Tampa taking his shirt off. There's certain people that just ain't gonna fix. They may start like that, but you ain't gonna fix them. So the dog days, I'm saying watch for I Oak where he goes and then immediately send fan man and pull that up. I I hope. I mean, I was a big fan of. I wanted the Steelers assignment. I wouldn't stay anywhere. God, that that just reading what he put first, language, English, speak. Let me throw a bunch of things to him. Or or what? And the agents need to quit pulling on their rods and off and tell them to shut up and go do their job. I mean, hey, yeah, well, he's just a guy. He's voicing his opinions. And I'm gonna say this because I'm I'm I got sideways about that. You know where our employees' issue started? Well, bring your whole self to work. F that. You work for me. You bring what I tell you to bring to work. A your lunch payoff. I tell you to dress this way, dress. I ran a route one time in a suit or a shirt and a tie and dress pants and dress shoes. That's how I ran a route till Labor Day or to Memorial Day. Then they told me to take, I could wear a golf shirt and slacks and dress shoes. And if my dress shoes weren't polished, I'd run a route now. Go home, clean shoes, then you come back. I see people now. I wasn't sure whether I picked them up in a homeless line somewhere. I picked no whole self-to-work, Brandon Iuk. It applies to every we've got to stop coddling people. It is the job. It's the NFL, it's insurance, it's golf course work, it's route work. It doesn't matter. It is the job. Comply or go get something else.
SPEAKER_03The problem is the person that owns the company in the old days would say, here's my rules. You don't like it. It's okay. We're just not a good fit. You don't need to work here. Yeah, he gets in trouble, or she gets in trouble if they do that. I'm calling and I'm going into pu I'm out of here.
