My forty Niners travel up the five to play the Rams, and so far I'm gonna beat in that bitch too. I'll be rooting for the one and only Rams. I don't want you to score a touchdown. I don't want nothing good to happen to y'all. Y'all knocked the live wis out, so one thing I can do. It's not route for y'all. I'm gonna go down with my squads, y'all. Son, welcome back to What's Burning? Jack? What's happening cooling? My brother? What's the word? Man? A nice little playoff weekend of football.
Some good basketball on the way, man, Let's get to it, man, West Side Connection. A lot of pivotal games going down in the West this week, Big games. MAVs verse Warriors Tuesday. Warriors are second in the West. They've cooled off of late three months, been out with that calf injury. Clay rested for some knees starts. We'll get more about Clay later. Meanwhile, Man the math. The MAVs eight out of their last ten, fifth in the West, top three defense right now during
this run. And someone I think you and I mentioned on another show, but Javen Brunson man at sixteen five and a half shooting fifty from the seat. Uh, possible X factor. But uh, in the conversation for most improved player, Jack, what are you looking at with this upcoming Steph versus Luca matchup. It's gonna be a good matchup, good basketball, must see TV. I think this is uh the reason why I always say Draymond should be m v P. You know you have the team, you have Clay coming
back to de w young stars. With Draymond out, the defense is nowhere where it needs to be, and you don't have that anchor and that playmaker on offense like you always have. So Jamond is a big part of that team. And that's why that's why you say seeing them slide of late with Dallas. Yeah, we spoke about Brnson being a tough guy and and and that and that guy that that brings the force for the team. But you never expected to buil a point guard, right, and you can only get so far with your muscle.
Being a PointGuard that's gonna have. They're gonna have to find somebody in the inside to be their muscle and be the enforced to with tech Luca. Stuff like that, but Brush is doing a great job. He's definitely UH at the top of my list and not thirst, you know, behind til Hero for most improved m I like what you said about Draymond because, like I said, his numbers aren't overwhelming, but it's across the board every single night it's and they'll funk around and have five blocks and
three steels and it's wild numbers like that. But like you said, we know he's probably in the in the first spot for possibly a defensive Player of the Year. But what people don't understand is he's really the quarterback of that offense. Draymond is at the top of the key or at that free throw line area tho when dimes the entire time. And that's why people, like I said,
they're gonna hit their stride once he gets back. But he is so important of just kind of orchestrating that offense to get Now he has Clay back too, they're gonna get going. But I agree with you, man, like his importance is I definitely think undervalued um in the worst success. Next up, we got the Phoenix Suns in the Utah Jazz They played Monday, second time in a week. Sons best team in the NBA, and I think they're overlooked. Um I personally overlooked them, but to be honestly, they
won nine out of ten. They've been very consistent. You know how this game is about luck jack. Your star has gotta stay healthy, and they've done all this with Aiden eight. I do want to say Atan's only played like twenty eight games. He's missed about nine games of the out of the last thirteen. Um, so it really hats off the CP and uh Devin Booker and the rest of these guys. Coach Monty Williams on keeping this team where they are clearly the best team in the league.
Thoughts on this game. It's gonna be a good game. I knew that things will come back and have a good regular season. I'm just not confident in them winning the championship. They're a great team, they can compete in the West. I just don't see them getting back to that championship for him with teams not being surprised of them coming. Now you know Phoenix is coming. Now you know you gotta put path for him. They're the best team in the league during a regular season. Uh Utah,
that that's what you how it is. Man, They're gonna play well in the regular season. They're gonna have a great defensive team with Rudy Gobert anchoring the team. But you know, we've seen this before. I just don't believe when when it comes time, we always write about Utah. So that's gonna be a good game, man. Hopefully things will be different this year for both teams, but that that's just how it's been, you know, just the Signs just can't get over to help and be a championship team,
and Utah just who they are. See, I'll disagree with you with the Phoenix ship. I think, you know, we could say what we wanted about how they got there. They got there last year, got their feet wet, and the only reason why I would say it wasn't luck and I think they can do it again is because they got a real threeheaded monster in one end, one of the best leaders in the game. And not to mention all their role players they got, you know, people
like JaVale McGee. They picked up Bis mc beyondbo. You know what CP does with big, strong athletic bigs the role to the basket man. So I really feel like the Phoenix Suns can be a contender on the flips that. I agree, and I've been saying this for maybe the last two years. They are a great regular season team. They move the ball, they shoot the ball very well, but they're missing one more score. They need that consistent along with Donovan Mitchell, that twenty point of game score.
You know every night he is going to be in that twenty range. And sometimes they get it from con Ley, sometimes they get it from Bogdanovich can get hot on you, but just consistently h night and night out. You know, Jordan Clarkson will give it to you off the bench. But I think they need that solidified robbin to Donovan Mitchell's batman. So I agree with you. Jazz gotta heavy schedule though, because after that they played Memphis UM on Friday.
The grizzliest pass the Jazz in the standings ten and two in January. Marant's average six a game thoughts on that matchup gonna be a good matchup. Memphis is just rolling right now. I think they're a team that everybody wants to see. That their team that every is on everybody's radar. Jahn Moran is definitely playing in the All Star caliber like you should be carrying his team and or and even the role players, even the guys that's
that's coming off the bench. They're coming in and doing it, doing their job, not doing more than needed are that's the need of just doing their job exactly, and that's why they're playing well. And this is one of the hardest playing teams in the league right now. So I think every time they're on TV, every time they're playing, people watching them now kind of piggyback and off what I said about their their their matchup earlier in the week. Um,
and then with you know, Donovan Mitchell being out. He does so much for the team, you know, leading score, um, third and rebounds. He's a big part of that team. Uh, they've lost seven out of ten without him, So you look to guys like Mike Conley to step up. Clarkson, you need Rudy Gobert to be more aggressive, you know, one of their role players to get to get going. Yeah, like you said, the Grizzlies, you know, I think they've
come back down to earth a little bit. Morant's still been playing great, but the most exciting team in the game right now. So this will definitely be another good match up on Friday night, Jack, Let's check in with the Miami Heat. Uh. Now the number one team in the East. They're starting to get healthy and we see Brooklyn and Chicago not healthy. The one thing about the East though, was I want to say two and a
half games operates one to six. And on the flip side on the Western Conference, I think it's twelve games. That represents Phoenix in Denver. So you can have a good week or a bad week and go from number one. And as you see the Bulls falling, I think they're three. Now. Your thoughts on the Miami Heat. We've always been very high on this team. I think they've flown under the radar just how they want to. BAM's back right now, they're three and one of his return. He's at about
eighteen and nine. UH. Thoughts on this Miami Heat team. We talked about Memphis playing playing hard and being one of the hardest playing teams. Well, this is the grittiest team in the league with talent, you know, and and and they play the way the style of basketball that
we like to see. The physical they're gonna get. They're gonna be physical on both ends of the ball offense and defense that they got the guys that's gonna get in your face some defense, and you've got scores, you got you got proven All Stars, Kyle Lowry, Jimmy Butler, you know, Bama to Bayos back. This team can really do some damage in the East. Everybody is worried about this team. We'll be talking about Milwaukee, Chicago and uh
and and Brooklyn. But we need to stop talking to buy them because with this team healthy and the way Tale Hero was playing, man, this team is gonna be scary. This team is only two years removed from the finals. I think how quickly people forget that um again. I just think they've been, you know, playing good basketball under the radar. Everyone's getting healthy. It's all about being healthy at the right time. They got the All Star break coming up. They're gonna get to rest a little bit.
But you know, Katie is out, Lonzo Ball had knee a surgery, Crusoe had, It's gonna have some had a risk injury. Uh, who's the Levine some knee trouble. So it's all about being healthy in today's game more than ever. So you know, hats off to them. It's got possibly the best game, best coach in the game and Eric spoelster Um. So yeah, they're they're they're sitting nice and there. They'll be ready for the playoffs. They're definitely a blue collar, hard working play the game the right way and like
you said, they got stars to really carry them. Next up. Um, wish everyone we're gonna be healthy and playing in this game. But nets at the Warriors, Uh, Kyrie at staff. Both teams, I'll be dealing with key injuries. Katie with the knee injury, Draymond down, Clay was a late scratch one of these uh previous games due to knee soreness. Still gonna be a good battle, possibly still far away, but the finals. Preview Jack thoughts on this game. I think games like
this for these type of teams, this caliber teams. Uh, it's good for guys like Kyrie, for guys like Clay, even if he, uh, excuse me, these younger guys that's coming off the bench to get more, get more planned time to get more you know, reps at it and
Kyrie needs the reps. Everybody knows that these two teams are gonna be in the end of you know, it's gonna be there at the end you know what I'm say, When it's time to play for the West Conference Finals in the NBA Championship, one of these two teams are gonna be there at the end. So I think for them right now, just to try to stay healthy, get
Kyrie reps, get these young guy reps. So when the team is healthy and everybody's the team is full and uh, and they have their normal rotations and guys will be ready to play failing to do what they need to do. Agreed selfishly. I can't wait to see that Kyrie Steph matchup. You know, two of the best in the game. You know. You know how Kyrie, they both take it personal when they where they play each other, man, So that's definitely
gonna be a great showdown. Uh. You know, also real quick about Clay Uh, he came almost such a splash that people have to understand they thought that he's back. This is gonna be a process. Man. He's like a late scratch for knee soreness. He's been out almost two and a half years, you know, so he's gonna have to climb his way back slowly. Knee soreness. He's probably gonna have some quad and calf issues. Hopefully you know,
not go what he doesn't. But that's just normally what happens if you get these little nicks coming back from you know, major injuries, but just being out so long. So again, I think they understand that it's a marathon. Shout out to Nip and it's not a sprint with Clay so perfect to your point, you know, Jordan Pool came out and dropped twenty um. These these guys, young guys off the bench. Gotta stay ready, but definitely looking
forward to that Stephen Kyrie showdown. He dropped Jordan Clarkson too, didn't he and cork Jordan Clarkson knew it, gave him the boo boo face and everything. Next up on the Radar, presented you by Draft Kings Jack Lakers have a big week ahead. But before we get to their schedule, a d was a late scratch. Try to get warm, couldn't get warm. That instantly tells me you need to sit
back down for another week or two. If there's any kind of pain where he feels like, you know, it's just not there with his big bulky knee brace, sit down, man, maybe sit down to All Star break, you know what I mean? And get some good practices in over that time and then try to come back. But the fact it kind of scares me that, you know, he's been out since the seventeenth of December with an uh MCL sprain. He comes out with a big old knee brace. Can't
really get warm. Sit him down, man, sit him down. There's no rush to get him back, although they really miss him. Sit down and rest um. But the week ahead their one and one on. They're on their Grammy trip right now, although the Grammys aren't this week. This is normally the Grammy trip for them, eleven day trip. They broke. They're broken even they beat Orlando, lost to Miami. Uh Next up, they got a wounded Nets team at home, so it'll just be hard and they'll we knel Kyrie,
you know, Katie's out. Then they go to sixers where in Bed is playing like an animal, and they finish up with that young Hornets team in Charlotte. Jack there one game under five hundred. Do you feel like this team is over or under? Forty two and a half wins thus far there, twenty three and twenty four. I'm going away. It looks I'm going under. But as simple fact, that anytime somebody's out there warming up with precaution, that's basically saying that the organization is trying to make you
come back quicker than you are ready to. When you're ready, you just go out damn warm up. But anytime you go out there and warming up with precaution, you know, that's the organization trying to push you back ahead of time. And that ain't a good look. They need a d They know he already fragile. You got Shock on the sideline screaming. Every u's telling me you're playing too fucking fast. It's just and uh, you know, I just think that they don't they don't see what people on the outside see.
You know what I mean, Anthony Davis. I don't think he's gonna be for the rest of the season. You know, it's especially coming out there with that big old brace. That's not that's not that's gonna affect this game a lot. With the athleticism being a big part of his game, He's not gonna be able to move like that with that big old brace. Song. So I know that the organizations trying to rush him back. But a D B smart bro, because this can be something that can make
you miss hold miss the whole entire next season. If you go out there and try to push on that leg, you might end up hurting something else. Yeah, I mean, we don't really know, and I agree you know, sometimes it is the organization. This could be a DA, could be a combination of both. But I think at the end of the day, we're almost We've got one more week left in in uh January, two weeks into February. Then you have the All Star Game hit, So why
rest him to the All Star break? Um, so we know that he has that much more rest, and then they're gonna make their stretch run. Getting him back in shape after All Star Break, but coming back to early can be very detrimental. We all know that, and he's injury prone, so wish him the best. So you go, you got under forty two and a half. That means they'd have to win like a to get any nineteen
in around nineteen twenty more wins to get that. I'm gonna be optimistic and say over just because you said under, I'm gonna say over just to say but again, because we both have talked about this, I feel like they're gonna hit their stride after All Star Break, Lebron admitted it. You know, I'm having one of my best you know, scoring uh seasons of my career. I don't plan on stopping.
Lebron is playing off the chart right now. I always tell people Jack, when you play in l A, particularly for the Lakers, there's so much more to it than bass ssketball. You know, Russ has got a chance to play in like Oklahoma d c um some of some of these d season on a small market, but Oklahoma definitely is There's noise, but it's not as loud. When you're playing in l A. The noise is every single day as loud and complies to be so, even for guys that don't you know, have been great at blocking
it out. In l A, you're gonna definitely hear it. I remember talking to Kobe Kobe, Remember remember Kobe told I heard it all and it all hurt. Remember that. So, and we know he was one of the most tough minded motherfucker's this game has ever seen. So Russ is on that same kind of tough mind frame. But I know Russ is here in the chatter and then to hear Shaq tell him, you know, slow your motherfucking ask down. This team is just there's so much noise around it.
But I think you know, with Lebron, they're gonna be able to silence that post All Star break. Hopefully they don't rush a d back, let him rest till post All Star Break and really just you know that that last six weeks get right going into the playoffs. We got a mid season special with our homeboy Kendrick Perkins is out now make sure you go to Showtime Basketball
YouTube check it out. Here's a teaser. Man, it's coming up on two years since the passing of Kobe, Gig and the other people on the helicopter man sending love and lightening energy to the family part real quick. You had two runners with code in the finals. Talked to us about both them. You got one at home, then you got hurt in the finals and they got it at home. Two thousand and ten, he said that was the loss, was his hardest Lord series he ever took,
and in the wind, that was his best championship. It was it was and his loss. Cole gave everything he possibly could. Like we were to the point in two thousand and evel we was like, you know what, we're gonna give Code. Yeah, we we ain't gonna give it to him, but we can't stop. So it is what it is. You know, ray On wasn't stopping his ass. So we're already battling down there with these two trees
and Latmire old them. So it was like, we gotta counsel everybody out here gonna get his Let me tell you what that two thousand and ten ship, it hit different, and I feel like it hit different for Code because I was watching and man, he struggled that whole game. He really kind of struggled that whole series. But every team, each the team that won that game in that series wanted the rebound in battle, and Kobe knew that ship.
So in game seven, I thought he shot like maybe six for twenty four from the field, but I believe he had like eighteen rebounds, six or seven in the motherfucker's was offensive to go to the free throw line, Like that's how bad he wanted this ship? Yeah he will, And then you have to realize this it was him. Yeah, he had assault because Aul wasn't the same at the time,
and no disrespect took us all. But he's not in the same He's not in the same conversation with be Paul kg so, so in Kobe Ey's it's really it's one against three and I didn't took you. I didn't took out on one D. Yeah, one ded, I got y'all have one D. I got one D. You was playing well though two for you hurt your knee. You're playing really well out there trying to get it, man, We're trying to get it, sir Jack, your moment that
stands out to me. Obviously you guys have some great battles the league, but your McDonald's all American experience, Like you told to us about that, you knew the vibe coming in code stamp that you should have been m v P talked to us about that ninety six McDonald's game with Cold Man. That was a good experience, man, you know, just being able to grow up with him, you know, know him as a teenager and seeing them the player he becomes, you know, one of the greatest
ever to do it, you know. But for me, my greatest moment with Cole was when me and you was on Golden State. It was a tie game, you know, actually we were up to Kobe comes down and hits the three. I was going back and forth. I come back and hit another three, Kobe and put us up. Kobe come back and hit another one in l A did I come back and hit another one and just what happened. We was playing. We played them back to back nights. We played them ut in l An then
they go to State. But just that night, you know, so I watched that game all the time, you know what I mean, to be going back and forth with him and on that on that stage, what was was something I always remember. But he said he was gonna be one of the greatest man. He did that. A lot of people say ship and don't do it now
he did that. Yeah, I mean I just got to see, you know, from going to someone I watched since I was in college up at U c l A. Coming up on campus, to competing, to almost getting into a fight, to become a teammates, to really getting to know him as a as a brother, as a man, as a father, and just the bond we built outside the basketball. We had some cool times during basketball, but you know, him always sent in the twins. Every time he dropped the shoe,
he sent the twins and their team shoes. If the Twins played at nine and g G played at eleven. COVID hit me the night before time you guys played nine am cobil come two hours early and watched the Twins play I'm gonna go watch eight year olds nine year olds. He just did it because he loved it so just to really get a chance to see him outside of the Mamba, to get to get to get to know Kobe was a very experience to me. So again, Man, rest in peace, star brother man. We love when we
miss you. Make sure you check out Kobe Bryant muse on Showtime. Great Film, Great doc. Next up one of our favorite segments fan questions. Make sure you guys keep sending them and we'll keep answering them. Um, this is my fist. Do you think of one game suspension for Grayson Allen was enough for what he did to Caruso? Let me, let me and you do that. That's a spending for the year at least three. But what I'm saying on the flip side, though, not to cut you off, Jack,
I'm fucking Grayson Allen up. Like next time we play them or another team that comes in and sees what he's doing, I'm I'm giving him a hard flag and foul to off the off the rip, because he's known for doing and and and I don't necessarily think he tried to hurt him. He knew that it was gonna end up with him fracturing his wrist. But at the same time, that's a dangerous you know, as basketball players,
when people in the air, they're super fragile. You mean, so you're grabbing some dude's arm, some bad's gonna happen. But off the rip. I'm sucking Grace and Allen up next time the team, next time Chicago plays him. And if if if I was on the team, Jackie, we're going to play Milwaukee, I'm sucking him up. Just off GP because you know you shouldn't be doing that. I'm glad I played on Change with a whole bunch of
real niggas. You know what I'm saying. And I mean that when I say that, because if something happened to me like that, somebody going, somebody going in gray some mouth with with a nice right hand or left hand for me. Even if I if I can't get to him, somebody else gonna get to him. I know one thing, Matt, I know I made some hard files in my career, but I wasn't known is doing ship like that to
heard them? Motherfucker right, you know what I'm saying. And like he's known, this ain't This ain't the first time he's done something like that. He did some like that in college too, you know what I'm saying. So this ain't the first time. So they need to watch him. But but one game here now that's not enough. I like Grace and Elan though, too. To be honest with you,
I love how hard he plays. He's a tough nose player. Um, he's had a great season for that team, but every once in a while he'll do something like that and it's just someone have to teach him a lesson. Next fan question, if Fred dots seven seven to three, what is your favorite Kobe story from a guest you've had on? Man? So many people have talked about him, Man, that's a hard question to be honest with you, Does anyone come
to your mind? The only stories that I can't remember it because I've heard him on this show and off the show was from the battles him in Rip Hammonton had growing up in high school, you know, with with games with Kobe had fifty and Rip had forty eight. You know, games like that. That's the that's the type of stories that that that I vaguely vaguely remember from from one of our guests. I thought it was dope when Don Staley mentioned that he was in high school
coming up and playing with the Sixers. That's that's dope. So yeah, I mean so many people have talked about him. I would have to really sit down and think about each guest, because I mean, we make it a point to, you know, carry on our brother's legacy through a show like this. So good question, though, sorry, we couldn't give you more than more than that, though, Little Marsky, what team that's playing now? Do you compare to the We
Believe team m Memphis to me right now? Yeah, I was gonna say undersized when they got some big guys, but they play small h they played hard, they played fast, athletic point guard. That's leading the team we had that with Beat, so kind of similar. I wish people could really saw go back and watch Baron David Baron Davis highlights when he was on because he was doing some
ship with US and Golden State. But I feel like his most athletic time was used with the Charlotte Hornets because people can say you're crazy comparing John Moran to Baron Davis. Now, Baron Davis was bigger than John Moran doing the similar ship, if not the same, I'm gonna keep it real. I'm gonna keep it all the way and one hunter with you. John Morans a bad motherfucker in the NPP conversation. But go check out Baron davis highlights when he's with the Charlotte Hornets and you'll see
what we're talking about. Disappointed at all, but yeah, yeah, that's a great call. I love the way this Memphis team plays. They got a bunch of dogs that they do a lot of different things, and that's the same thing you know we have. So that's a good call. Good question. Next fan question, that's j C forty one. Is Jrew Holiday and All Star this season? I think Jew Holiday has has been an All Star a handful of times in his career, um, but I just don't know.
There's so many Eastern Conference guards and I kind of compared Drew Holiday different type different players, because Drew was just as successful on defense as he was an offense. But to someone like Joe Johnson that like the whole league knows as nice as fuck. Like everybody knew Joe was nice. You know, we always talk about how how how nice we think you holiday is. Is he an All Star this year? I hope so, But I don't know. With the West panning out in the East Man and
all the guards, I don't think so. If they ever sin too from that team, it's gonna be militant in uh in the Great Break. So you know what I mean. I I don't see him being all stuff. But like you said, he has the respect of All Star around straight up, straight up consistency till he's consistent at what he does. Jamaican Prince oh three, If you can be in any era beside your own, which one would it be? And what team? Oh? Good question. I'm going back right now.
I would love to be in this era right now, and I would like to be um on one of the teams that's in a fourth, fourth, filth six spots somewhere around there. That way I can go in there and kill and get a hunting five, hunting something million, you know what I'm saying, and do what I need to do. You know what I'm saying, because you know what I'm saying, I did that with less. Maybe make one fit then and watch what I do. So you can go to like Milwaukee is four, Cleveland is five
in the Western Conference, Utah in Dallas, Dallas, Dallas. Yeah, because I can go. I can go over there with Luca. I'm an average about eighteen to a dub people from fifteen to a dub and ship. That's payday right there. And you gotta right cross from somebody uh acted crazy towards them. Yeah, they already know j kid. No, I'm gonna pro take Luca. Yeah, it would be this era for sure because the bread is head dead. Yeah, like
you made me change my mind. But if if money wasn't uh uh an issue, I don't want to go back to the eighties of the nineties. I want to be bleed in that one area where you can hard found motherfuckers to keep playing and sometimes you really got to fighting. You weren't gonna get fine, like a hundred thousand dollars. Yeah you had to ice yourself back then. Yeah yeah, I would have like tape your own ankles. No, but I would have liked to play in that real
physical era. I think that opened up. But that money here, Ma, you just made the money era sound man, real good moneyball Man, Man, Man Jack, I'm not gonna motherfucking lie to you. This was probably the best week in the football I've ever seen in my life. And I wasn't feeling good too, so I got to see. I have to agree with you, bro Man, I got agree with you. I got the games. I've watching a lot of football, but yesterday was probably the best day of football I've
seen in my life. That got damn Chiefs Buffalo Bill's game and scored what twenty six points in the twenty five points twenty six points in the last two minutes of the game. Man, my homes does what my homes does and got them down. Hit Kelsey up. The scene that kicked the field goal. Tamma Bay Rams game was crazy, man, Tampa Bay Rap game was crazy. Bro. Hey, Brady got Brady Man. Hats off to man Matt Stafford. You know
he's always been waiting for this opportunity. You know, they had a chance to get him, the Cowboys, you had a chance to get him. He's a gun slinger. And I was talking ship to on Twitter yesterday during the game because I wanted to play the ramp that's right up. You know, that's a home game for US week A team. There was so much red in that motherfucker. And I said that Matt. I said that Matt Stafford butthole gets tight pressure. That motherfucker made the perfect through Lad the
team down there to kick the game winner. Brady. You think Brady's done, No, He's not done, man, And I mean they still almost won that game, you know what I'm saying, Like, just think about it. He did everything he was supposed to do it. You're going up against you're going you're going up against one of the best d lines ever. They're getting pressure every time, and it's hard to make those plays, you know, And it was a lot of it was a lot of passage drop two.
Then he gotta think he doing that with guys that they're filling in, guys that ain't playing. Oh yeah, you know what I mean. So so I still take my hat off to Brady. I don't think he done. I think I think he's gonna sit down. Him and Grunt and the coach. They're gonna come back with a with a with a couple more weapons. They're gonna yeah, yeah, make up one more run. Yeah, no, I agree the football guys. That was funny. The football guys were with
Tampa bay Man. They gave the Rams were given chances. That the fumbles the all that they have their chances obviously, like you said, missing key weapons. What was your thoughts on even though he didn't create it? He A B posted on his story about the Bucks being out. I mean, you know, you know, to me, that's just something I wouldn't do me personally, you know what I'm saying, Like I wouldn't do like when when the Spurs cut me right before the playoffs, not knowing I couldn't sign another
playoff team. I didn't go on to meet and say funck pop fuck the Spurs. That that that that that that shows uh, your character, you know what I mean? Like, I think that's low on his part. Bro, Like, Okay, you're not on the team and I'm gonna move on. Whether they want to lose, it has nothing to do with you, you know what I'm saying. But the fact that you're wishing the worst for these folks, You know what I'm saying, It says a lot about you. But
I don't I don't wish the worst for nobody. I'm great. You mean Tom Brady got this dude in two different spots. He got him in England. And if you do, you ain't hating Matt Come on, man, I agree. I just think it's a bad look. Man, It's definitely a bad look.
And you know the way he talked about Tom once he laughed, and I'm just like, these motherucker's are really giving you a chance, bro, And you out here laughing at him and posting memes and you know the common thing, you know, because I don't know enough about Abe to really make one, but the common motherfucking theme is him with these teams. Pittsburgh got him out, The Raiders got him out, New England got him out, Tampa Bay got him out. Like how much more can it be? Them
against you? And we both know, because Jack, we've both been a situation. We probably talked to all motherfucking asses into getting traded. But at the end of the day, like you got to look at yourself in the mirror, bro, Like, Okay,
I'm the common theme with all this craziness. But you know, back to the point, I just I think it was a bad look because it's due to the Hall of fame caliber receiver, you know what I mean, motherfucker just watching everything, you know, and I think deep down he's hurt because he really still wants to be out there. That motherfucker wants to play football. So this is kind of his way of, you know, laughing at it. You know.
I guess maybe maybe the high tears man. But I hope he, you know, just have just a little bit more respect, bro, because the common denominator and all this ship is you. I mean, if I was if I was running around hanging with Madonna, Kanye, you know, and all these other people to the last thing I would be worried about is the fucking Tampa Bay is now. But deep down, like I said, I think that, like we're all athletes and competitive, and he's a bad motherfucker man,
you know what I mean. So I think obviously, deep down he much rather be out there. So maybe it's it's laugh instead of crying for a b man. So we'll see if he gets another goal. But that's was ugly taste. But let's get to this week's games man NFC Championship, a f C Championship. First, let's going to the a f C side Bengals verse my homes Joe Burrow versus my homes two good offenses. Uh, Kent City's defense is tough. Thoughts about that, man, since my team
uh some well on vacation shipping Daggers. I'm pulling for the Bengals, man, I'm gonna I'm gonna for the underdog. I like Chase, I like Burrow. I was a pan of Borough College. Uh. You know l s U is the Squizzard. I'm pulling for them, and I went to Bangles win. Obviously my homes and and Kansas City is a big battles the best task for him being underdogs. But they've been playing well and I think they're gonna gritty theirself, the little gritty dance on out of Hill
to the championship all the way to the Super Bowl. Bangles, mate, I'm going Bangles the Bengals boys. Before I give you my pup, I want to say shout out Josh Island man. That motherfucker is a monster too. Forty two fifty gets downhill will run a DV over and heard him one of the best arms in the game the the You know, if I feel like the Bills would have won that game, if they would have won the coin flip and O
T that's how good both those quarterbacks were playing. With that being said, Homes is a motherfucker man, and I like Burrow. I like the underdog, but I'm a fan of my Homes. I'm a fan of Kelsey. Um, so I'm picking uh them Boys to win. Next up, we come out West. Oh, it's gonna be a showdown out here, Jack. My forty Niners travel up the five to play the Rams, and so far, I'm gonna beat in that bitch too. It's gonna beat crazy Niners to beat the Rams six
straight games. We beat them in week eight teen to even get to the playoffs. We're six seed. Man knocked off, knocked off, then Boys knocked off Green Bay this past weekend. I got a roll with my team. You know, it's gonna hurt my feelings when we end up playing Casey in the in the super Bowl again. But anyway, man, I got the I got the Niners. And one more thing, there's gonna be a lot of red two and and and so far representing the Niners. So it's could be
possibly be a home game for us. Anyway, I'll be in Montego Bay and overwater Buns. Though, watching this game, rooting for the one and only Rams, I do. I will try to win. I don't want to want. I don't want you to score a touchdown. I don't want nothing good to happen to y'all at all the whole game. I'm like Davie, I'm hating y'all. Knocked the glove woise off, so one thing I can't do. It's not rude for y'all, but when they feel good to get knocked off by
the Super Bowl champ though, No not. It feels better to call you and say welcome, welcome to vacation. Yeah, we we can run it back back to if you want. You still owe me some money from the Niners. Rams, we can double. I'm definitely not betting on any team but the Cowboys. Why would you bet on I bet on the Rams when I've been on the Cowboys. Yeah, I'm gonna go down with my squad. I feel y'all sunk. So okay, I got Niners, Kansas City, you got Bengals.
Who would you pick in the Super Bowl? Feels the Bengals versus the Rams of the Super Bowl. You're rolling with the Bengals all the way out. I'm going with Bengals all the way out, and I got the Niners all the way out, so we shall see closing thoughts. Shout out at Yoka League Kansas State Center.
