Hour 1: Dan Lets Go Of Erik Spoelstra

Hi everyone, in the words of Rafiki from one of my favorite movies The Lion King, it is time.

“After 46 years of an extraordinary journey that's with deep gratitude and heartfelt reflection”

that I announced my retirement from Zumaemi, effective May 10th of this year. But began for me at the old-cranning parks we won't keep a scheme, evolved into Miami Metro Zoo,

and ultimately, it's the world-class institution we know today is Zumaemi.

To have witnessed and even played a small part in that evolution has been one of the greatest honors of my life. Zuz cannot spend millions of dollars on new exhibits, but out committing a substantial portion of those budgets to in-seetu conservation of the very animals they choose to showcase. Zuz become the last place where those species can safely survive, then Zuz have failed in which it should be their top priority to protect wild animals in the wild where they truly belong.

It is that belief that led me to create what I am most proud of in my career,

“the establishment of the Ron McGill Conservation Endowment at the Zumaemi Foundation.”

When people ask me what I want my legacy to be, I want it to be this endowment. It's been established in such a way that long after all of us are gone, it will continue to fund conservation initiatives and scholarships that will help ensure the survival of some of our world's wonderful wildlife for generations to come. I want to thank the Zumaemi Foundation for giving me the opportunity to remain connected to Zumaemi

and continue sharing the stories that matter. I am deeply honored to serve as the Foundation's Goodwill Ambassador and Conservation Liaison, a role that will allow me to focus on conservation while remaining closely involved with both our local and global communities. In this position, I will continue to be available to speak to individuals and groups throughout the community in educational, civic, and social organizations

in the hope of inspiring a love of wildlife and a commitment to protecting it for generations to come. Through the Zumaemi Foundation, I will also manage the newly established into the wild travel program, drawing on my many years of visiting all seven continents to create and lead inspiring adventures in nature travel for zoo supporters and donors. Most importantly, I will be able to continue building the Ron McGill Conservation Endowment and sharing ongoing support for

in seek to conservation programs around the world and providing scholarships for those dedicated

to careers in wildlife conservation. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all the incredible

support I received for so many years. I'm looking forward to see what lies ahead. We'll see you around. Ron McGill will be on with us here shortly. He's not going anywhere as it relates to this show. We love him and he will be around here for as long as we're around here and he's around here. So, no worries on that front, but Ron will talk to us about retiring in a little bit here. I wanted to do something here that I was remiss and not doing yesterday because we make a lot of

“fun of Pablo Torres in general. I think that the audience who appreciates what this show is and what”

that show is and just the universe around this show has some sort of understanding of how difficult it is to be as excellent as Pablo Torres finds out has been. But the number of awards that this podcast continues to get because its excellence is that distinct is truly staggering. Like it has been a monumental sports achievement to watch Pablo Torres win and I'm just going to list some of the awards, okay? It's not a few of them. It's a lot of them. I don't know what the ambees are. Chris

informed me that they're the Oscars of podcasting. But he wasn't just named the best sports podcast because he was also named the podcaster of the year. Those are two different awards. So it was what do you make him named himself that podcast? No, it's not. He's not naming himself. That is a group of people. What do you mean he named himself that? I'm pretty sure he named himself podcast of the year. I saw him do that. No, he did not. He didn't name himself. This is the

Oscars of podcasting. I've never heard of the ambees. I don't know what the ambees are.

The boy. The O. Y. Podcast of the year. Thank you. You didn't get that. Everybody knows the boy congrats to Pablo. Chris blow the boy. Do me the favor of showing you why Greg Cody isn't the podcaster of the year by just playing the sound of his stomach at the end of yesterday's show. What was that sound? That was your sound. We're not making that up. I did it. Yesterday in the post game show was Dan being like, all right. Thank you

guys. That noise came. That noise did not end. Is that the dog that's around you? That's not an edit. It's not like a dog. That's not Ali. That no. That is so much more of a ferocious growl than the one

distorted by us. That is why you're not the podcaster of the year. Even though it's the best sound

to come out of your body of any kind. Let's examine for a second. What's that? Four hours of coffee.

Yeah, let's not examine that. No, I want to examine not only that, but just in general. I'd like to examine how it is that the body makes that sound and how it is that in your imagination. If I hadn't told you what this sound was, what would you guys have guessed this sound was? Or more door.

“Well, it's a small, angry animal. Yeah. Sounds like a dog sound. That's why it's not one goose.”

If it were me, it wouldn't be the coffee. It would be the lack of breakfast. Why? Because I come in yesterday. There's no bacon. It's a bacon job that I come in here and I can't get my bacon. Greg, you know what that was? Another Greg Cody. First down.

That's a bacon job that he couldn't have bacon. You guys, we're going to play that sound

for Ron McGill and asking what animal makes it. We're going to say it isn't animal. And we're going to say, what is this? Identify this sound. So it's not just that Pablo, okay, is getting best sports podcast. It's not just that he's getting podcaster of the year. He's also won the gold signal award for best sports show. The silver signal award for best video podcast. He's won the gold medal for best documentary podcast from the sports podcast awards.

And last year he won the Edward R. Murrow award for sports reporting as well as a P body nomination. You guys are all bored by this as I say. I know juju is not. I know juju likes to celebrate.

“Juju is a good teammate. The rest of you are bad team. What do I mean? What do I mean?”

What do you mean? You're sp-- I salute Pablo Torres. He's winning his us winning. So salute my brother and Matthew Sullivan. I salute you and everybody has supported the P FTO. Spockery. Well put. I totally agree. He's the best story since Joe. And when you said Edward R. Murrow, I perked up. That's that's an award right there. I go the ed. You perked up. Good for a cup. What's that look like? The ed is what he just called

the Edward R. Murrow. What are we calling the industry? The ed. The ed. To let me see here, Tony, I just don't mean to pick on you here because I don't think Zaz knows either. Do you guys know who Edward R. Murrow is? Horse. Legendary broadcaster. Journey, uh, newsman. Right. Yeah. Journeyman newsman. It was Crohn Cite before Crohn Cite. Exactly right.

“Thank you, Greg. Take the words right out of my mouth. You're welcome. Play that sound again.”

Not me. Greg, we're not we're not making this up. Okay. This is not a distortion. It wouldn't be the

first time you made up something to embarrass me. But we're not doing that. I'm promising you that's

not something that we're too. I'm going to get you the full context. I'll get you the foul yesterday. Show ended. Okay. Clearly, that's AI. It's that's artificial intelligence. You ask AI. AI, make a rendition more geographically. Yeah. You don't hold a phone like that when you talk to AI. Greg Cody, whatever, growling. You're so busy making your own jokes that you didn't hear him say more G. I than. Because it is. It's a gastrointestinal issue. Okay. It is like you're you cannot

have to look. You cannot have two thermuses of coffee on an empty stomach. You haven't eaten anything in 18 hours. Your stomach is going to give you the dancing swords. Like for sure, you have no chance. I'm surprised that you don't notice that your body is making these sounds. Bake on gate. You know about that, IBS? No. Bless in my flesh. Blood on my blood. We're going to trick Ron McGill with it. Correct. For sure. He's going to say that

some sort of like small rodent. Maybe a varm into some sort of rodent. We have talked before here about how in general the sports fan is a bit numb to cheating. I really don't know at this point what the cheating scandal for performance enhancers is that I would have to put in front of you for it to start a lot of clucking outrage, but jerks and pro far being suspended for an entire baseball season at the age of 33. It costs the braves, obviously. He's 33 years old.

And I understand at that age why you would go through the pharmacy to try and do something like this. But a 162 games suspension is baseball reacting to something it didn't react to a long time ago with punitive measures that are really punitive. Like I don't know how long the average baseball career is, but there is very little precedent. There's some, but there's very little precedent for a guy getting an entire year. 162 games at the age of 33. I'm going to say it comes pretty close

big league level and just return intact and you're going to return stained. What do I have to do in baseball? I have to make it a star, right? I have to make it airing judge or autonomy for anybody to actually care about this. I can't make it jerks and pro far. Yeah, but I don't think it's just a baseball thing. I mean, if random NBA player got popped for

“drug testing for the full season, I think we'd kind of shrug our shoulders there too. I don't”

think it's just isolated. But a full year's suspension. Look, I don't baseball has in some instances become a, it's that's supposed to be the national pastime, but it's become something of a regional sport. And I know they care about this in Atlanta. They do care about this in the city that it happens. But I'm, I'm, when I'm marveling at is the idea that a year's suspension on a starter could be met by an audience that is so numb to cheating with a shrug because like 162 games is

crazy. That's, that is somebody and he's a repeat offender, right? So, uh, and so that's the reason that that's happening, but even sports media members like Cody's over here, yawning, despite all the coffee that he drinks, he's yawning at this is subject matter. Uh, the reason, and, and I wasn't yawning, but the reason that it's, it's a mild interest to me is that when we think of BEDs, particularly in baseball, you start with the biggest names possible,

Clemens, Bonds, A-Rod. And so when you get somebody who's not a household name,

it, it barely resonates with me. You remember the first name that got popped when they

started instituting these rules, uh, you know, you would expect it to be like this big,

“what's the Guillermo motor? I'm Gordon. No, I think it was Alex Sanchez.”

Like, it was, it was a guy who doesn't look like he has any type of muscles and he's getting popped for the entire season back. Yeah, this is the equivalent of Jared Vanderbilt has been suspended for an entire NBA season. I mean, shoot from a local perspective. We weren't that out right, you're there in that blood loss season. You got popped for 20 games. As he started playing well, I was happy. Yeah. This episode is sponsored by Better Help.

A woman who was out swimming with her friends has believed to have been swallowed whole by a 13-foot shark without any of her friends noticing. That's the weirdest part about that story. You're swimming with friends. You're having a good time. And then all of a sudden, people are looking around go, where's Shelley? Like nobody screamed. Every friend group has a

Shelley though that if they go missing because a shark ate them whole, you wouldn't notice. Classic Shelley. Exactly right. Yeah. Stugots. She went quietly apparently. If I'm swallowed whole by a shark, you're going to know it. This is the Dan Lebatard Show with their stugots. The thing that happens here to me that's interesting and not right morally is it's not the crime. It's the criminal. You guys don't actually care about the crime.

It's giving me a famous name and so it's doing the exact same thing. That's a good example by Tony. That's the only reason I'm interested in the headline "Chancy Billups Facing Decades in prison" is because it's challenging. Too far away. Yeah, Mike. Well, closer, buddy. Sorry. How about this? Let's play the context for Greg Cody. This is why he does not win podcast or of the year

or any awards whatsoever. Here's the context for Greg Cody ending punctuating the show yesterday. And those are your pose. Thank you. It's great timing, though. Like how the stomach no, the timing went. It was doing that all show and it's been doing it for months because again, I don't know how many of you drink coffee. You can't drink thermos is full of coffee on an empty stomach.

On stomach that's been empty for 18 hours. Look, this is what's in his stomach. I'm going to tell

“you how is evening go. No bacon. That's what's in my stomach. I'm going to tell you how is evening”

goes. He has dinner on 2026. The scandal waiting to happen. At 6 p.m. waiting that. He stops eating food so it doesn't get in the way of the beer buzz. Oh, this guy. Is that true? He's blessed

filming me. It's sacrilege. I know you. The lies you say about me. You just said I never win

awards. I've won several writing awards just in the past year. You don't win broadcasting. No, I've never won. I've never won. I've never won. I've never won. I've never won a man. Too far from the mic. That's my problem. With no, I want to know if there is a strict rule in the Cody household that you know a lot of people they won't eat after 8 p.m. Yeah, I watch your weights. What time did you have dinner on Monday? It was later than usual because I was waiting for my wife to get home

and she was late so it was like 7, 37, 45. Okay, and so you have gone by the time your stomach is that sound. You've gone a full 16 hours without any food in your stomach. It's all been liquid. There's been beer. Yes or no. It depends on the day. Sometimes I'll ask him what he had for lunch and he'll be like I had a couple chips. Did the day end in a while? Yes, it did. It's been a very coincidentally. You have banquet of food here. You serve breakfast not bacon. You serve

“breakfast and lunch here. So that's why I'm gaining weight is working two days a week on this show.”

It's a banquet before I leave. And then that's not my noise. It's AI. I'm telling you artificial intelligence is taking over the world man. It's hurting people. Just like it's doing that to me now. Everybody thinks I made that sound. You did make that sound. We're not

making this up. I think you're not. Yeah, you and you and Christopher would never get together to embarrass me.

I'm promising the audience as someone who does not like the audience. I'm promising the audience that that is not distorted sound in any way. And that's why you never win the ed. I have never won the ed. You're right. And I would love to. I can't believe you guys aren't more impressed by Pablo. There are a lot of people making podcasts. There are a lot of people doing sports podcasts. Everyone's got a microphone. Everyone's got a show. Pablo's the one winning all the award.

I mean, unlike some people, I don't aggressively nominate myself for every award out there. And I'm not saying Pablo does. That's so good. Thank God someone said it. He does. He does aggressively. He does. Everyone that exists. He does aggressively nominate himself for water. And pay for it. He tried to pay me to get nominated for a suy. Uh, Trista, he doesn't pay for it. You do. We do. We do. We do metal metal,

lark media pays for the nominations. But still, he's, he's, he's what, what, how is this us?

all awards do this. I don't know about that. Not the ed. The ed is above we're approach. The ed comes to you. You don't go to the ed. Put that on the phone. Put it on the poll. I love it touch show. Does the ed come to you? You don't come to the ed. Does that remind you that's going to read ED? Oh, that's true. That does come to you. If it does, right, right, comment. Has Steven A Smith had anything to say yet about the parliamentary. Oh, come and up. It's coming up.

Not coming up. Steven A responds. All like in social media video. Man, they milk the first 40

minutes of that show. Just a deep lock talking talking about everything else instead of his

“feud with the pelicans in Zion. Unfortunately, to report here, you have to pay a fee to submit”

for the Edward R. Murrow award. Oh, no. Yeah. That tough times for the Murrow foundation. The state of Edward R. That is sad. I want to get to some football things with you guys. I've got top five. Tony's got top five low key free agents and juju's got top five NFL players that he doesn't trust based on 24 hours later. That's why he doesn't win the ed. Based on yesterday's conversation about players in sports, you trust least like James Harden. But before we do that,

I did want to get to something. I know we've gotten kind of used to, I guess. Over the last,

I don't know, two months, maybe three months. Yeah, two on Kyler Murray aren't going to be with the same teams. And I know if you've been listening to Tony, Tony's been down on Kyler Murray for a while. I think Kyler Murray still has value. And I'm really kind of surprised that Kyler Murray's just going to be wave. Nobody wants to pick up that contract. But I would think that if you're say the Minnesota Vikings, and you have Justin Jefferson who has to be wildly frustrated at what

happened with JJ McCarthy, I would think that the Minnesota Vikings has one example. How old is Kyler Murray? Can you look that up for me, please? Can't be 30. No. The thing that you can now do in that sport,

we were talking yesterday about the fact that past rushers have enormous value. But the greatest

value that you can have is a quarterback that is good at value. So you can build the rest of your team. And what the Arizona Cardinals taught me by drafting Kyler Murray is, we can move with these new rules off of the seller cap. So Josh Rosen, get out of here. We're done with you. We don't have to do this for several years where we're trying to figure this out. Get out of here. And the Vikings can now do that with JJ McCarthy as well. If something is available, that's better. They moved

off of Sam Darnell Desert quarterback. That was a mistake. The Sam Darnell thing was not an elusion in Minnesota. He reinvented himself in Minnesota and Seattle saw something that I'm going to dare say the rest of the world didn't. But Seattle saw something. And I would say that whatever Seattle saw, I would hold Kyler Murray and higher regard right now, then I held Sam Darnell didn't when he was available to Seattle. That's me. Maybe the rest of you are ahead of me on believing in

Sam Darnell more than that. Tony, I know you're out on Kyler Murray. But at this minute right now, I hold Kyler Murray in higher regard as a quarterback than I did when Sam Darnell became available with the Vikings. And if I give him, I know what you loved. You loved preset with McBride because he opened up McBride. I liked the Cardinal skill position guys. I don't like him the way I like Justin Jefferson. I thought that Sam Darnell was a contrivenson Minnesota because I thought there's

“skilled guys where that good. I believe if I put Kyler Murray in Minnesota, I reinvent him.”

You don't know the talk about as, but of Jefferson, you talk about Addison, you're talking about Jalen Naylor. Like there's a lot of good weapons that they have here. Hawkinson too, Aaron Jones. Like the list goes on and on. KOC is the reason why Sam Darnell was good. And I get it. There's a contrivensov. You have an extremely great play caller and Kevin O'Connell. Sam Darnell's going to look good. You can kind of throw in anybody there. But what Sam Darnell did was he throws the ball

in a way that Kyler Murray just simply cannot. I know Kyler Murray has a live arm, but he can't throw to the boundary. He has a really tough time throwing up the middle because he can't see, right? Sam Darnell's 64 and a half. And Kyler Murray's like, what? 510? Yeah. Like there's a completely different skill set that Sam Darnell doesn't have that Kyler Murray does. I will grant you that, but I don't think it's the inverse is true. What about the team with the aging superstar,

“the Pittsburgh Steelers, a team like that, would you see Kyler fitting in there? Sure. I think it's”

it's scheme reliant, right? Like whatever it was that Arizona was running, like they had a lot of pieces that were great that didn't fit Kyler Murray, right? Kyler Murray loved a much bigger market than

assuming starting quarterback here. I'm not, I think, to in a certain situation and the right price you signed Kyler Murray or Tua as experienced backups at this point. They're not the same

“class though. I would have a hope with Kyler Murray that I would not have with Tua. I think”

Kyler Murray will be a starter somewhere next year. There's way too much need a quarterback for Kyler Murray to be on a bench somewhere. I know the callover is any good either. He's not the wife. But I think he will be a starter somewhere next. Well, Minnesota, Atlanta, the jets. I mean, there are enough teams to have a little bit of a bidding word. And I agree with you, Kyler Murray's got more market value than Tua. There's no question about that, but I do think

Tua's career is not done. He's going to wind up somewhere. Kyler Murray or Mack Jones. Mack had some good showings in San Francisco. Yeah, but it's Kyl Shanna and everyone does. They make her main field. Everyone does. And let's let's get back to the conversation of players coach. His Kyl Shanna and a players coach like it does. He give off to you a whole lot of I wrote, I wrote soft, but then he scratched it out and then I put half of it.

So the successful coaches in that sport. I know there are multiple ways to win. I know that there

“are multiple things you want from a coach. But if you said to me, and I think I'm different from”

the audience this way and the power of the illusion of leadership. I believe that the grand majority of football fans would prefer a coach who's in charge as a value. Then what I'd prefer, which is give me McConnell and somebody who can make a quarterback. Like, just give me the skill set of that guy can make a quarterback. Give me what Ben Johnson can do as a play caller. I don't care if he's got control of his locker room. I don't care if he's a player's coach.

I don't care about culture. I don't care whether guys are on time. Can he make Caleb Williams into somebody who doesn't become Kyler Murray because you guys are sitting here saying Kyler Murray sucks. And I do think Kyler Murray what he has done is he sort of gets stuck in the particular

position of never before this time has there been a quarterback of that size that's allowed to play

“the position because you have to be able to see over your offensive alignment. A quarterback”

usually Kyler Murray would have never before he got drafted where he got drafted. That would have never happened if Baker may field in Russell Wilson hadn't at that size showed you that it doesn't have to just be in the pocket. You can roll out. You can make some of the throws. You say he stinks and I like the Cardinal Skill position players. I do like them. Like I thought that Harrison was going to be a number one. And he hasn't been there for anybody. He was supposed to be a lock for

number one Roger C. I blame Mike for that because Mike made this bed his rookie year that he's my lock of the season to go over on yards. That right there is where it all ended for him. The elephant went into a 7 11 and bought a pack of cigarettes. But my question to Ron is this. Two gods that you didn't really land the way you wanted it. We all just stared at it all. This season doesn't live up our show with his two gods. I mean, treatment ride is easily one of the best if not the best

uh Titan in the world right now and like what he was not able to do with treatment ride like throw him touchdowns, using him in the red zone. Like it can't just be scheme related where we're

not going to scheme our best guy open. It's like Cardinal's got to find the guys and he just never did.

I've got a question for the room. Bomani Jones. Do we think he's a small guy? Yes. Well, Bomani says that he would take Calamary over Jalen Hertz, Bonyx, and Bryce Young. I would take them over any of those guys actually. I wouldn't take them over either. Wow. Well, but wait a minute, though, because uh Bonyx, you're saying that the coach can make that quarterback, right? Like you're we're all in agreement that Bonyx is a product of whatever it is Sean Payton's doing. None

of us expected that that from Bonyx. Uh Bryce Young, I he was good last year. I don't know if Calamary couldn't have done the same sort of things in Carolina that Bryce Young was doing, yep, because Bryce Young is another Bryce Young benefits from the pioneering of Calamary. He's also too small. Like he's he's a quarterback who would not have been a lot and wouldn't have been drafted, wouldn't have been not that high five years ago. Six years ago, Bryce Young does not get

drafted that high because uh you tell me when all this change. It was with Russell Wilson. Correct, Russell Wilson is the guy that size who's allowed to play the position before that. We would have

never drafted Baker Mayfield, Bryce Young, Calamary that high because quarterbacks have to be the

size of Tom Brady and Payton Manning. Right. No, you're right. And at a play, yesterday we were talking

a short quarterback. But I agree with you, I I think you'd I would rather argue that Arizona gave up on Calamary too soon than I would argue he's no good. Well the thing though that uh I've been talking about the dolphins and the hopelessness of their position. Arizona, who you got that's better than that. Like I understand the percent percent's not an answer. I know percent through uh through a ton of yard, percent had a great statistical season last year in the cardinals,

where the cardinals, like they were terrible. They lost a ton of one score games, a ton of one

“score games. But I think they lost them at least in part because percent was their quarterback.”

Well the also in terms of Calamary and them giving up on them right now, like the reputation ain't so great. You know, and certainly behind the scenes, they know even more than the things that have been leaked out and we know about Calamary. Guys, they gave up on them too soon. How many years was Tang Hill? Yes, no, yes, no. How many years? Seven years? Seven? Yeah. Okay, seven exactly for Calamary. How's it too soon? We know what he is. He's a guy that's going

to give you incredible plays once in a while. But he's going to put you in a lot of really bad

situations. Make a lot of stupid throws. So, Juju brought up though Jalen Hertz and that's an interesting one, right? That's my guy though. Yeah, but that one, you think if I took Calamary and put him in the Eagles offense, like Jalen Hertz is a special quarterback in that offense, but that offense won the Super Bowl because they had the best player at every position on offense. Like across the board, that offensive line, every one of their players, you don't think that

“Calamary would do big things in that office. You think you'd be turning the ball over a ton?”

I think you'd be turning the ball over, but you also do great things. Like I think that that would be a wash for me, Jalen Hertz and Calamary. Quick update. Ron McGill is doing zoo things and we'll join us tomorrow, not today. Doing zoo things retire. Well, I got the note, he's busy presenting painted dog pups. And I didn't really know what that meant, so I just said zoo things. Oh, he's still working hard after an ounce in that retina. I'll tell you what,

day comes at I announced my retirement. Work ethics going down the tube. I was so Calamary, maybe check out the Cincinnati Reads. You know, you still got a tutorial on you. Well, I mean, that part, right? We've just talked about we talked about Drew Dalman retiring early at the age of 27. The idea that Calamary is still old enough. He got all of the football money and decided to do football over baseball, even though baseball is vastly physically safer. Made a choice that was

really interesting, right? Because he would have been a first, he would have been a first rounder in

both sports and baseball. He was drafted, right? In baseball. Yes, he would have been. It's harder, if you get drafted in football, especially where he got drafted, you're going to immediately play football. You get drafted there in baseball. You might not ever get to the major leagues, because somehow that sport is harder than even playing quarterback. The success rate is harder to come by than even being a starting quarterback, which is widely regarded as the toughest thing to

do in sports. But he could go back to baseball. It is something that would be a funny choice if he if he made that. But he's going to get a starting job. And you got where is he forecasted to go, because Minnesota makes more sense to me than Pittsburgh, because of all of the things that I stated, including the play collar. Like McCarthy doesn't quite inspire what it is that I want inspired there that that O'Connell does. And I do think there's the risk that they just move off of McCarthy

quickly, because the way that they're doing the finances in that sport, it's no longer a killer

to miss on the first round pick, who's a quarterback. You can get rid of him within a couple of years

on a way you couldn't before, which is how we ended up with seven years of Tana Hill. Why wouldn't it land to be a good spot for him? Michael Banks, like they still see him.

“But he's always hurt. He's like, you have to make sure someone else. And then you win a job.”

I'd say easy spot as the jets. They have nobody. So it's like, oh, that's not a good place for that. No, that'll swallow you. They just did that to Justin Fields. Like, I think that Justin Fields is a lesser quarterback. It's been proven this year. But I would have argued that that's a lesser quarterback than Kyla Murray before he even went to the jets. Kyla Murray has to be very selective about what he chooses next. I don't know how much humbling is involved there.

I don't know how much he looks in a mirror and says, yeah, I was playing too many video games. I was irresponsible. I need to grow up. But the next spot that he chooses has to be a place with skill positions. Look, Aaron Rodgers didn't want to go to the steal. He wanted to go to the Vikings and the reason he wanted to go to the Vikings is because he learned, look, I've got all these skill guys. And I got the play caller and they told him we don't want you with the Viking. Do you

assume? Because I assume that that's where Kyla Murray will end up. Do you think there should be another favorite? Because if I'm Kyla Murray and I'm advising Kyla Murray, I'm telling him go to

the jets are included. Kyla Murray's been buried in Arizona, which is one of the lowest radar cities and teams in the NFL. If he can go to New York and all of a sudden he's thinking,

“I can finally be the national star that I deserve to be. I think he does that in the heartbeat.”

I think New York is one of the, like, yes, I'll go where he believes he has the best chance of starting. And I think New York would be last on the list of those teams for him. I just, that there's nothing there to allow him to be successful. He'll go there if it's the only place to offer him a starting job. But I don't see him ending up there. I think don't count out Indianapolis because they have everything they need is set there later. You did.

They decide to transition tag. They're doing their own 37 and a half million bucks. But what

your biggest ability is when we start the season. So where are you going to be? Why shouldn't bomb bonds? You're worth it. He's right about that. You're watching bomb bonds here. Watching you watch them. Dan, oh, just move on. Nobody heard it. You know, I'm going to head out. Yeah, I'm going to do that to you. In fact, yeah. Minor penalty two minutes for leaking confidence. I've seen. It was right there too.

I've seen the speculation that Arizona could end up with Malik Willis, because of the LaFluer connection his brother now working in. I don't hate that. Like that. That's a good move for for the Cardinals. That opens up Miami for Kyla Murray. Like is that something that

would be appeasing to? Well, I would think at this point Miami wants Malik Willis. No, I would

assume. It's between Arizona and the Dolphins for Malik Willis, according to rumors. But rumors. Hi, so what we're citing, I would assume that rumors are just starting there based on, oh, the green big guys are in charge now. And the viewers brothers in Arizona. Makes sense. Makes sense in the war. Can you guys give a juju please a microphone in the penalty box so that I can go to him on his top five after I do Tony's top five, because I do want

to go to juju and his top five on did he just tear one of his hamstrings like Howard Bryant

“getting out of bed tearing both of his hamstrings. He's pulling it his hamstring now. I believe”

that his confidence leaked out of his body and injured his hamstring. Here are see if you guys like any of these as you need your football fix on Tony's top five. These are players that are under the radar, free agents available. Loki, Loki, free agents. You're not going to get the Malik Willis's, the Jalen Phillips, the Trey Hendrix, and we're not going to get those. Those are obvious. I want to go more Loki, more hidden names, more guys, and you're like, huh, I've heard

that name before. I mean, like, so if it's Loki, are you like whispering this? Like, I could do anything. I think you do need one that's a hiking name. But, but it's Loki. Okay, but do we have any all of that? No, I just just straight five. All right, so it's just, but it's very Loki. It's very Loki. And when I say this name, we're going to be like, I like him. That's it. Is this the hiking? No, this is the Sister's still Loki. Hikey is later on in the list. Loki, number five, free agent available. Chiggy O'Conquel.

I like him. Tide in, tied in for the Tennessee Titans can run like a horse. Okay, you're talking too loud. Big guys, big guys, can catch. I like him with camward that in use and probably as much as they should have. If he can get to somewhere else, the likes of feature the tight end. It's a very, very good piece. I feel it's unfair or what everything that happened to camward. I feel like camward, it wasn't quite like playing as if I had just dropped him in the Amazon, but he was running for his

life. Yeah, similarly all season last year. Yeah, it was close. Number four, this is a guy who's going to be an instant hall of favor. The moment he retires and hangs the cleats up, but he needs to find a new home and I think you can find a very good home and new England. A little quicker. That's my Kevin's. That's number three. Is he, is he, is he coming? He's coming. He's coming, he's coming. In Tampa, he's done. He's done. But from the next team, I mean, he could be a big red zone

presence for me. He's only got 1,000 year in season, right? He's never not accept this season.

“He could not have a thousand year. It's a season name for a Loki. Exactly right, but that's why”

it threw it off. You know, he's like, oh my Kevin's the free agent at number three. Number three, going back to the tight end. Well, Isaiah, likely. Good player. Well, behind my core canter, if he gets to a team, all of a sudden Travis Kelsey says, hey, I'm not as good as he mortal. A mortal monk. Exactly. All of a sudden Isaiah, likely with Patrick Holmes, got that off in Tomman. That's a good player. Exactly. Right. Correct. Number two, the highest

key name in the list, just because he won the MVP for the Super Bowl. Kenneth Walker, the third. Oh, yeah. That's it. Seattle said, hey, we're not doing this anymore. That's a hike. That's a hike. That's a high key, but Loki, because people would see MVP of the Super Bowl. And he's not. He's a free agent. Why wouldn't they? Can't be located here. But that's what I'm saying. It's Loki. You put it on the fold and the Super Bowl MVP. A Loki. I keep Loki. And number one,

comes over here to the Miami Dolphins, he could be a really good piece for a future of quarterback.

“That's Alec Pierce. Okay. Just boredom and their position is that guy play. You know what?”

That's six names in your top five. Anybody else coding or just me. Oh, I think you got it.

Anybody else code? I don't think there weren't any likes. That kind of thing.

“Yeah, the you didn't answer the question. It's not a great quote. It's first down.”

I don't know how it appears. I don't even know what you thought. Why was he for the cult? No,

you don't even know what you're saying. But what I want to do is not to get a lot of students.

“The master of the team has been left behind. He's the intern. He's a master. I'm so sorry.”

You can't say that. You're a player. But you don't understand. Egaal, Zauberwood, Verlustvortrag, makes the game just like that. And when they then work, he says, "Catching." That's right. Safe, like that.
