They love a good rooftop and I love a good rooftop , so it was like a match made in heaven for real .
How was the weather ? The weather was good like um .
it gets a little chilly at night , but nothing too strange . It was because it was by one of the Great Lakes . Don't ask me which one , I don't remember . But it's by one of the Great Lakes , so at night it gets a little chilly , but other than that the weather was perfect .
They don't owe you nothing , chicago , don't owe you nothing , not a dime .
I'm not mad at it . What about yourself , Vales ? A little birdie had a rumor .
Well , you know my summer , as everyone knows . I'm a coach , I'm a teacher . My summer has definitely come to an end , it's over with , but I do have some exciting news . Like I just mentioned , Like I just mentioned before , most of y'all know that I am a coach and just got a new job . I am now the head coach at Urban Nimitz High School .

This summer wasn't just like super eventful for me only because you , you know , I was locked in no pun intended Trying to get this job . And yeah , we're here now . The school year has started in my first week of school at Irvin Nimitz . And , yeah , we all in baby Nimitz Nation stand up .
We all in .
Representing that navy blue , silver and white . Come on , and I'm excited and I'm ready to work .
let's go hey , man , look , I cannot be more proudly viewed than I am right now . Bills , this is something you've been working hard towards and you finally have reached a goal . This is this is just the beginning . Um , this is your program .
Like I said , you run it the way you want to Forget all the naysayers , forget anybody that's trying to put any negativity in your mind . This is yours and , man , you know I'm stepping 110 behind you , like the sports is definitely behind you . So , like dude , this is your season Thrive . May God continue to bless you along your journey .
I appreciate that , lisa . I appreciate it all right . So now that all of that is out the way , we're gonna go ahead and get it to it .
Let's get into it . The olympics , yes , yes , yes , yes , yes , yes .
The olympics man . The olympics just ended um and it was . It was entertaining . I will say that very much um it was one thing that I was anticipating after the nba season was over with . I was ready to watch them . Guys , like just you , team usa period , like you know , all across the board .
But just yeah , you know , brian steph kd , you was ready for usa basketball . I was look and you know , and I just knew it would be , I just knew it would be good .
But yeah , anyway , the olympics , the olympics , the olympics . You know what ? What I was most looking forward to was the track and field oh yeah , of course I want to see that , like for some reason with the basketball , we always dominated , that we do so . I wasn't like well , as of late .
I don't know it's been tough , but but most of the time yes right , like we usually dominated that .
So I wasn't over excited or hyped for that event . I was like trapped for some reason , because it's so and also depending on the event as well . But it's like , it's personal , Like it's just you , it's definitely personal , like it's you against everybody else , like it's just you . So it's like I wanted to see how some of the big stars was going to .
You know , handle the pressure .
Me too . We're talking about our Sha'Carys .
We're talking about our Sha'Carys . We're talking about our Noah Louds .
Yes , we're talking about ? Well , we were talking about Shelly Ann Frazier , Right and Sharika from Jamaica , but yeah .
Well , they didn't run . Let's talk about it .
Shelly Ann Frazier . She ran , you know she ran . But she didn't run the . Yeah , she ran in her heat and she finished number two , I think . I think she finished second , but she did not run in the final . I heard two things .
Okay .
One . It was because of a hamstring injury . That was the latter . That was what we found out after everything happened . That wasn't it ? And then the second thing is I guess they were locked out of the field for some strange reason . They couldn't get on the practice uh track and like warm up properly , like they normally do , yeah and so yeah , and it's .
There's a video surfacing on the internet like that shows them trying to get in , not only her , her Shelly Ann Frazier Parker from Jamaica or not Parker , but Shelly Ann Frazier Price , she was trying to get in and then they show Sha'Carri in the background , kind of like just sitting on the curb Like man , like you know what I mean .
That's crazy .
And so , but Sha'Carri still got out there and ran she did she walked , it , she walked it . Yeah , she got silver , unfortunately , but it's not unfortunate , but it's like we want her to get gold . Oh , absolutely , there was room for Shakira Witch . She still did get a gold medal with the 4x4 team , I think , but yeah , that's why she didn't run .
I heard that Sharika , the other girl from Jamaica , the other fast one , she didn't run because she had injured three weeks before , three weeks prior , and she was gonna wait to her race like her 200 , like she runs in the 200 yeah , she's gonna wait to just compete in that , but she ended up not competing at all wow and what is for the same reason no , just
because she had got injured three weeks before . So she kind of wanted to save her best for that race gotcha , and I never saw her run , but it was . I mean , it was good all across . I don't even know where we want to start .
Do we want to start with , like , just stay track I mean , let's just , let's just go , let's just keep going and um .
So then , uh , shikari won uh silver in the hundred final . And then the girl that beat her , uh , where was she from ? I can't think of her name St Lucia , st Lucia . And that was the first gold medal that they had ever captured . You know what ?
I mean .
So it was big time for her . She's a celebrity now .
Oh , yeah , oh absolutely .
She will never have to pay for another thing in that country , ever again .
And one of their first medals . What ?
And so that race was crazy , though like I was getting up and watching just the heat , like it's 4 30 in the morning , I'm setting alarms to get up and watch that because it was live . You know they're in paris seven hour difference and so like there was a couple of things I'm like , okay , I'm gonna get up for this and watch .
It was tough the mornings was tough because I was tired the rest of the day , but you know it was the Olympics was very entertaining . Then we got Noah Louse man who ? well , it was some other women too . Um the hurt , uh , and .
Gabby Thomas .
Gabby Thomas um , it was somebody .
TT .
I can't remember her last name and I know these things , but um , yeah , yeah , and so we know , allows . You know his race is a 200 meter race and you know , but he competed in 100 which in the um , in the , in his heat , he finished second .
You know , I mean , but you know noah is very he taught he , he arrogant , he gonna talk his stuff he gonna absolutely say what he gotta say , because he feels like , you know , he's the fastest period man personal alive right and we gotta move .
But what was crazy about Noah was , just like you know , he came up , he did win the 100 , he did , he did win the gold in the 100 meter , but his race to 200 , he lost , yep . And then , of course , well , he didn't , he didn't lose , he didn't lose .
He got second . No , he got bronze . He got bronze . Yeah , he got bronze and so um .
but right after the race , he over there acting like he dehydrated . Well , I'm not gonna say he was active , but now he's dehydrated , yeah and
¶ Olympic Athlete's COVID Controversy
all of . And then , of course , shortly after that , we found out that he had COVID Right Right . For two days , until he was , you know , he didn't have COVID anymore . Then it was a video surfacing on the internet of him in the club dancing .
Thank you , I'm glad you brought that up . I'm glad you brought that up it was , but you know , and I'm going to let you interject on that up .
I'm glad you brought that up , it was . But you know , and I'm gonna let you , and I'm gonna let you interject on that , I'm gonna let you interject , but it's just crazy that he did that and it's just like .
So what I was gonna say is , you know , he did all of that , but at the end of the day , and then it's what he said months ago , when he was just like you , you know , when the NBA , when , when NBA , when you win a championship , and they caught themselves like world champions that's what the NBA calls them world champions and he didn't agree with that .
And so I'm just like , okay , I disagree with him . Then I disagree with him then when he said it , but I understood what he was saying at the same time , kind of , you know , I mean , but of course , when we get to the olympics , it's like a little beef between , uh , team usa men's basketball and noah laus , right , right , and it's just like .
It's funny , obviously , when you see it on the internet and you know , you see the memes and stuff . But at the same time I'm like why can't we all just we supposed to all be rooting for each other , right period , like we are , but the beef was .
It's funny , it's entertaining , but it's just like we all team usa , we all trying to , we all out here trying to win period , you know I mean no , I agree , and you had mentioned , like after the race , how he was all like passing out and feeling like he was also sick .
I actually fell for that , like I really believe that he wasn't feeling well . And then when it comes back out that he had covid , I was okay . Now that makes all the sense , right . But then when the video comes out that he was all at the club , I mean jamming hard .
Well , he , well , he tested negative . Okay , well , it was two days later . He's like he don't have covet anymore .
He posted it himself , okay , okay , um so if you ever had covet before I mean maybe this is the new covet , maybe it's the 2024 COVID , I don't know , but if you've never had COVID before , you don't , just after two days of doing what he just did , be all at the club doing what he was online like he was celebrating his gold medal , his bronze in the 100
meter gold but what I'm saying is I feel like it was more so . He was embarrassed , that you know , because he does talk all that shit . You know what I'm saying ? He talks a lot of noise , so he didn't complete the mission , he didn't get the gold medal that he wanted in the 200 .
He got the 100 .
I mean he got the 100 , but he wanted the 200 , he got the 100 .
I mean he got the 100 , but he wanted to , which was crazy , by the way that race was crazy it was .
But what I'm saying is like I felt like it was more so an embarrassment now after seeing that video of him being all out like that .
Yeah , but I mean but you know I root for everybody . I rooted for him in the 100 . I thought that was a great race . I didn't get to watch the 200 , um , but I saw that he had came in third , I believe , on that and so he came .
He didn't even come out the gate .
Good I didn't .
I didn't get to watch that race and I need to go back and watch it yeah , but yeah , it's , it's been .
I'm proud of shakari , I'm proud of noah , I'm proud of , you know , um team usa men and Women's Basketball , which we can get into that right now , and it was entertaining for me . I watched all of the men's games .
The women's games was coming on at weird times , but I did watch most of it and to me I was just like okay , I can kind of miss some of the women's games because we're killing everybody . They running through people . Until the gold medal game , they was just having their way . Now it's some talent around the world on the women's side .
It was some hoopers out there . It was a hooper from Nigeria , it was one that I liked from China , it was some players , but they was running through everybody . So I'm like , okay , I'm going to pay attention more to the men's side because they was over there fighting for their life a little bit , but you know they took care of business and pool play .
But then once it mattered , once those games started mattering , like those games started getting really good . And I want to say this right now like the rest of the world is catching up , oh , absolutely , especially when it comes to basketball , because there's so many different resources , so many different outlets that you can use to learn the game wherever you are .
That is , I mean it's . We have youtube now , like we have the internet , like everything you know .
Trainers are over there , right teams are being ran over there , like the rest of the world has caught up as far as playing the game of basketball , and I hate when well , I'm not going to say hate , but like people on the internet have been talking about , like you know , the dream team and you know how they was yeah , the redeem team , and then like , but
how , the dream team was just running through everybody , they was beating them by like 50-60 , they was killing them but it was a different time , different era , and that's why I said the game has changed . It's not like the us is not as dominant on the men's side as they have been in the past , like they are dominant .
Obviously we just want to go , but the words the rest of the world's .
¶ Men's Basketball Olympic Analysis
You got your yokish , you got your yokiches . You got your lucas , even though looking them didn't make it , but you got your yannis's . You got your wimby's like you got people from it . Like you got your shy uh , gilligis alexanders , you got people from it . Like you got your shy . Gilligan's Alexanders , you got your everybody .
Yeah .
You know what I mean . And even South Sudan put on the show . Yeah , they was hoping they was they . Team USA beat them in pool play the men by one point in pool play , and they still gave them hell in the second game when it mattered .
But I mean , team USA kind of took off on them , hooped and now , uh , but yeah , the rest of the world is catching up . But I will say , on the men's side , they took care of business .
Brian did his thing , kd did his thing whenever he could , steph went off the last two games , chef Curry , chef man , and to watch that and to like see that and be able to root for him was just different , because it's like we want this gold medal and like it was . I enjoyed it , it was entertaining , it was good like they had to fight for this .
When the men did , yeah the women . You know , they coasted , yeah . But then that gold medal game , they had to fight against France .
They did . You know what I mean . Let's go back to the men . Go back , go back , go back . I got questions for you . Yeah , let's talk about South Sudan .
Okay .
That one point victory . That had everybody kind of like ooh , uh-oh yeah , Are we not as ?
dominant people were already thinking that anyway , but the odds were crazy . Like they had them , beating them by like at least 25 plus , you know what I mean . And it wasn't covering , so we was mad , cause then they ?
they prize picks , but yeah . South Sudan but yeah , so were you nervous going into that next game .
No .
And I'm being real , you had to play them again Again .
No , I was not , because I knew Like , yeah , y'all saw what it was before . Y'all only won by one point . Right Now , it's time to take care of business . Friend , we're trying to get the gold . These games matter . You got to do whatever you got to do to win . Absolutely , period , absolutely .
You would be the laughing stock of everything if you would have let south sudan come in and beat you . I knew they were gonna . I knew they were gonna . Take care of business against them . It was still a good game .
They would have been a mean for the rest of the year .
That would have been really , really bad , really bad , really bad . Like I mean , I don't even know how to explain how bad that would have been right but yeah , they took her business against them they did .
Um , and my next thing , you know we have to talk about it , right , jason tatum . So I gotta get your tape , because I , because I didn't , I didn't really watch too much of that , I just watched the last game so . So Jason Tatum , from my understanding he didn't get . No burn in , not a whole lot .
Okay , there was two DNPs . I heard about that and I felt like he should have gotten minutes in every game . I'm going to just be real Okay . Jason can contribute in some sort of way . He's athletic . They just won the championship . You know what I mean . He got teammates on the team . I think he would have been able to contribute .
But he also kind of struggled a little bit in the playoffs . Not saying that that had to do anything with him you know being able to get minutes with this team but he did struggle a little bit . He did his thing but he struggled a little bit . Jaylen brown got the uh finals mvp and all of that .
You know I mean , but I , I , so I I felt like he should have played in those dmps , but then at the same time I really didn't care right I don't think you like Jason Tatum . I do , I like Jason , I really do . He's a sweet guy . Yeah , you know what I mean .
I mess with Jason , you know what I mean , and he can hoop , but I really wasn't tripping about him not getting those minutes , but I did feel like he should have played in every game , like I was like , okay , steve , like his head that is true . Like you can throw him in there . So everybody else has played .
Yeah , now Tyrese Halliburton wasn't playing much either , but everybody expected that . Right , jason Tatum , you got to put him out there .
Just to see what he can do . Just to see , just to see , and I thought I think y'all saw , though right , you say he struggled .
A little bit in the play , yeah , yeah .
But no , even he played a couple
¶ Olympic Reflections and Unity
of minutes .
Yes , and he definitely struggled a little bit playing with Team USA , but at the same time , I understand that you have to find and get a rhythm . If you're on and off , on and off , on and off , like you're never going to find that you know what I mean . But see , it's the Olympics Right , and we ain't got time to be finding rhythms . We ain't got time .
We just don't have time , you know what I'm saying . So now this poses another question . I know we're going too long , but this is opening up in a can , so maybe we gotta start Digging into Jason Tatum a little bit . Is he as elite as where people are making him out to be ?
I think he's still an elite player . I just think he needs to be . He has to go on a run where he's consistent like the entire time , to prove like , okay , jason Tatum is really him .
He has talent , but then if you're saying that you can't crown him as him being elite , I think he's still , it's kind of a weird you're funny he can be an elite player .
We've seen it .
We've seen it but you have to be elite consistently you can have off nights . But if you are elite you would have got some burn in the Olympics because guess what ? That's where the elites go to play .
Yeah Well , people just felt like it was wrong for Steve Kerr to limit him to minutes .
He should have gave up some burn have those two DMPs which was crazy .
Like them DMPs was crazy and it was a funny meme going around and I'm not even going to say it , but you know that's pretty much what Steve Kerr kind of did once he played . He started him in the following game and I thought it was cool that you know they was on a fast break , they was in transition and he was out in front .
So somebody got the rebound , gave it to steph , steph passed it up to jason , he got him a dunk like I thought that was cool .
You know what I mean like , let him , let him get some burn and let him have something meaningful to absolutely put forward to this gold medal that you , that they trying to get , you know I mean , because that is a confidence killer it is , it can be , it can mess with you , even though in my mind , if I'm jason , I just wouldn't chip yeah I don't like ,
look cool , I can , hey , if I ain't gotta play too many minutes and I can , I can , you know , kind of coast a little bit , rest my legs and get a gold medal at the same time and be around all of these greats . Yeah , I'm cool with it .
I'm not even gonna take no offense because you know why , you know why I'm going to come back better next year , like I'm going to come back and show y'all yeah , next season . What I'm about ? So cool . I just got a chance , I'm coasting , I'm good I was just in a parade three weeks ago . You know what I mean .
Like that's , if I'm Jason Tatum , that's how I would be thinking , and he just had another kid with Ella Mae like that's . If I'm jason tatum , that's how I would be thinking .
And he just had another kid , yeah , so he should be on lma , right .
Okay , you know yeah , but you know he should , he , he definitely , definitely should have played in all of the games . But I'm not mad at the minutes that he got because of the wins , that we were like that , we like we took care of business , we did so yeah that's real .
That's the one to pick your brain on now .
Yeah , so we're gonna move on from the olympics um , I do want to say that team usa overall you gotta mention , simone biles bro , simone I'm tripping , I am tripping , I am tripping , I'm tri , we can't move on . We can't move on just yet .
Yeah , you got it , man , I'm so glad that Simone came back , yes , and redeemed herself Absolutely and did not give up in Tokyo . She didn't leave it in Tokyo , no , she came to Paris and she proved to herself , she proved to the nation , she proved to the world that she's still great at what she does .
She is the GOAT yeah .
Yeah , and I'm happy that she did . You know what I mean . And she worked too Like I tried to watch her little documentary on one of the . Yeah , on Netflix , you know , trying to just and she was getting up , she was grinding it , but it was really something mental going on with her that she could not shake .
Right , they mental going on with her that she could not shake right they call them the twit twitsies , the yeah which is weird .
Yeah , they can't get that count right , right and that's a real thing and that's scary because the way they be flipping turn .
You can't count how many you'll break your neck like , and that's why she had to kind of chill , because she's like , yeah , okay and to think that , like people , I remember during that time period people was like really coming down on her , calling her soft yeah , they were , and that and it's like that's why people that's not doing that kind of work need to be
quiet .
They do like seriously , because you have , if you're not out there competing in that kind of capacity , you've never even done anything before you don't know you have no idea what it's like or what kind of mental jackups you be having , like you don't know , mm-hmm . So we got to take it easy on these athletes . They're regular people . They just got a gift .
You know what I mean ? Yeah , a special talent . I don't know , I ain't going to get on my soapbox , go ahead .
You just don't If you're not an athlete , especially if you ain't never played a sport . You've never done it . You don't know what it's like to do that . Get on a balance , beam , flip and land . You don't know what it's like . I don't know what it's like . I don't know what it's like to do that and I'm not gonna try .
No , you know I mean at all so , and if you ever catch me trying , please stop test me .
No , just tell me no , for real get down but but I'm proud of her man , no , and I'm just proud of the whole gymnastic team as well , but I'm proud of her man . No , and I'm just proud of the whole gymnastic team as well , but I'm proud of her .
Um , it was a very kind gesture , uh , and I forgot what country she's from when the girl won gold medal and simone and I had already won gold in different events , um , but they kind of like bowed to her and just made her feel special , yeah they heard that moment .
Yeah , like that was so classy that was , that was that really was um , um , I'm just proud of simone and and all the team . Usa man , and before we and before we , do you have anything else ?
to say about no .
No , I just want to say , like that moment that you , that you were speaking of , like no , that was a really truly , when you think about that , that is a moment , yeah , you know , yeah , that they did , did that for her , and that just shows the unity yeah , and even honestly , and not just that , but even it was another clip of the girl in france .
She didn't really , you know , do too good and uh , I don't think she um was able to compete for a medal and the other girls from I forgot what country it was , but they was consoling her because she was crying and they talked to her for a good like minute and a half , two minutes .
You know that's a long , little talk between somebody that you're competing against and yeah , I feel like that was a special moment too and it just shows , just like you know , we can be together if we just try . And the Olympics is bigger than just the sports .
Like you really see all of those countries coming together , like if they can do it and I hope it wasn't no fights and then in the village and then like that , no mess and then , but if they can do it , that should just be a blueprint of what the world could be .
Man , you said a word right there .
That could be a blueprint , it could be , but you know , we just it's a lot going on , but we're going to move on from the Olympics . I will say that . And there's two more things I want to say about the Olympics . Sure , First of all , team USA winning . They had 126 medals total , so they pretty much won in that category , Absolutely .
They tied with China , though Team USA and China tied with 40 gold medals . Oh , wow and yeah , so I thought that was cool . And then also , last but not least , snoop Dogg was everywhere .
Yeah , he was .
He was everywhere . It's like where's Waddle , where's Snoop , where's Snoop today , that is crazy . He was everywhere . He was out there doing his thing and I wondered if he was going to be out there the whole time and he was .
He was Two weeks in Paris .
Yeah , must be nice , must be , must be nice . But yeah , that's the Olympics , that's the Olympics we're going to move on to the
¶ WNBA Analysis and Future Prospects
next .
Okay , we have to talk about the girls , though we have to talk about Team USA .
Women and we meant to .
We got the gold , mm-hmm , but it was no easy task . At the end there , it was not Because you had mentioned we rolled through everybody , but when we got to the middle rank it was tough going up against France .
Yeah , a person that stood out to me the most from that team and it was quite a few , but the one that just really stuck out like a sore thumb was Gabby Williams Mm-hmm , she tough .
In the gold medal game for sure . Yes , yeah she's cold .
She's cold and like I was really watching that game at first .
I was like man , we're gonna probably beat him .
I wasn't gonna really pay attention to it like that , but I was like , oh shoot , they hanging , they hanging tough , and she , she just pulling up , she , they had the lead . That was over like 10 , 15 yeah yeah , like it was , it was .
I woke up to watch that game .
She was balling . She needs to be a part of somebody's WNBA team Like ASAP . She literally needs to be a part of somebody's team . Angel had kind of made a little joke or something like that , trying to recruit her .
I saw it .
I saw her tweet . Gary was just like we can team up somewhere else , Whatever , whatever , but why hasn't she been picked up yet ?
Like I mean , I know , we just get back in there .
It's early , give it some time . I'm sorry , I'm calling her the next day .
Well , I'm sure they did , but you still have to work out things Contracts , negotiations , that's true do you think that'd be a good pickup for the wings ? I do . I think Gabby Williams would fit with the wings because of you have Arike at point and then you have which .
They just got rid of Billings , they just got rid of Odyssey and we'll get to that and then you have Satu back .
Yep , she's back .
And Gabby is very aggressive . She goes get her . She's not scared , she's not afraid . I think she put on a show for a reason , or she tried to . You know what I mean and it worked out for her , and I think she's showing them like hey , I got game too . Put me in a W .
I may have been in the league before and I had to play overseas , but I still do this .
Yeah , against the best Right as you can see , against the best , she , single-handedly , was going to wield them to victory For real . She was Single-handedly , she could have shot at the end that could have took it into overtime and who knows , at that point , oh my gosh .
I don't even want to think about that , I don't ? Hey , I was nervous . I was nervous too .
I was like , okay , if I could be real . I wanted Team USA to win , Because I just did not want to hear the slurs .
Of course we have to .
They have a , but a part of me wanted a good Cinderella-ass story .
I ain't gonna lie , I want to be one of the cinderella story . The women had to win . I know that's what I'm saying ?
like I know , like no , they had to win , yeah , but it was just like a part of me was like damn pulling for . You know I'm saying the underdog , you know .
So yeah , and it was , and it was the home crowd . They had that on their side it was a tough the hurt both teams , the men and the women , both in the gold medal game , which was crazy but yeah it meant something to them it meant something to them it did absolutely and it was dope to see it was definitely .
Somebody needs to go get Gabby . There's no reason why she's not in the league . I feel like they will , and it need to be the wings . And since we're here , let's go ahead and just get into the WNBA BZ . Drop the beat , all right , the Dallas Wings man . Drop the beat all right , these dallas wings man .
I know we were played with injury before and I say we . I because home team still gonna root , but I know we were played with injury before and we haven't had the best of seasons , but I feel , feel like we're making dumb decisions , you know , along the way , along this journey . Yeah , you had mentioned earlier . Satu is back .
We welcome her , we want her to be back . We needed her , right , evidently . Who else is back ? Maddie's back ? We need Maddie in her shooting , but she's not . Maddie has had a good year , but I don't . Maddie's back . We need Maddie in her shooting , but she's not . Maddie has had a good year , but I don't feel Maddie is as consistent .
I feel like she was being consistent this season , yeah , this season . This is her second season in the league she's progressing . That's all that matters , that is true , but I felt like and she was , you're right , she was putting up .
She was averaging about 12 , 14 okay , you're right , you're right , um , and then I forgot who else is coming back . I can't jaylen brown and I don't . I'm not even familiar with her game . You know what I mean . But we let I feel like we let a good piece go . Yeah , yeah , a couple of good pieces , a couple of good pieces .
But I'm more so saying Odyssey , odyssey , sims man , she gave us buckets , she did , she started . I believe she started .
Yeah , she was definitely starting .
So like I get that she was on a hardship contract .
You got to work something out , man and she at home . Figure it out , figure it out , let's go . That's the hometown hero , right ?
you gotta figure that out , you have to like , legitimately have to like . I just feel like the wings are continuing to disappoint me , the , the management , not not the team itself , but the management is piss poor in my opinion .
In my opinion sound like one of my coaches .
No I'm just being honest here .
You dropped the ball on angel reese I don't even know how you let that . Oh yeah , we yeah , and we talked about it .
I'm not I'm not going into detail , but I'm just . I'm just highlighting what the wings are doing wrong currently . You drop the ball of injuries . You have the number five fucking pick and you and you drop the ball on that . Then you don't .
Well , but even before then you don't even sign odyssey to , uh , what I quote unquote a long-term deal , whatever that means . You don't sign her to that , you let her go . Um , then you pick her up .
You know , when you figure out that you're playing with the injury bug and you don't have enough people on your team to play sign to this hardship license , she goes out her first game , she dropping 18 and I believe I was there for that game that right gets the links . She dropped 18 off the street off the street that Off the street .
That's crazy , am I ?
lying ? No , you're not . I'm just saying no , I know I'm just saying Like off the street 18 .
I get it , enrique is a very special player . She's good , she get the buckets , but she can't do it alone . Nobody can do it alone . Like literally no one can do it alone . Nobody can do it alone . Literally no one can do it alone .
When you have a player like Odyssey or like Monique that consistently can give you maybe 10 to 15 a night , you kind of want to hang those players around .
You want to keep those players around a little bit I don't know . I need that consistent scoring . I need that consistent , you know , participation , like I need that . If you're giving me something positive and it's working and you have , you know , the crowd behind you , I need that . Make it happen . Yeah , make it happen , but business is business .
I don't know what had to happen for you know , for them to be able to wave those two players . It is what it is , I guess at this point it is , but I would have loved to see both of them , especially Odyssey , you know still be on the team in the second half .
And yeah so , odyssey , we still pulling for you .
Hopefully the wings get together . You to a long term , for sure . But speaking of the Wings , though , didn't you say that they were the most we talked about earlier ?
Yeah , the highest valued team in the WNBA . So right now , the Dallas Wings are worth $208 million . Coming in first place , that's crazy Over the Las Vegas Aces . Yeah . Million dollars coming in first place , that's crazy over las vegas aces , yeah you know . And they , those are back-to-back champions . So the dallas wings are worth 208 million .
The aces fall number two at 140 million , the seattle storm 135 million , the new york Liberty sitting at 130 million , and we'll stop here with the Phoenix Mercury at 105 million .
¶ WNBA Playoff Predictions and Analysis
So that's a , that's a , um interesting fact .
What's crazy is two , I believe two . I don't know . I don't know what their title is , but they actually bought a state , a 1% state , into the Dallas wingsings for $2.8 million , really , yeah , and that's what boosted their . That's 1% and that's what boosted their value to $208 million .
I wonder what that is worth . 1% putting that much money in . I don't know .
We're not getting that it's going to be 1% of not , it's gonna be one percent I'm just saying yeah , yeah , yeah , but it was a good investment yeah , I will say this like but that all goes to show and I I don't want to keep harping on that swings , but I feel like I have to because I just feel like obviously somebody sees you have a product , they're
willing to put $2.8 million apiece into it . Yeah , fans deserve better .
Fans deserve better and they show up , man , especially this season . Man , come on , and we've been . You have to keep this , and then it's going to Dallas .
Come on Right , even a bigger city , you have to keep the fan support , so you have to make management . I'm not trying to tell you how to run the team . I'm just saying you have to make better decisions . You want to sell tickets and you want to win games . This is nothing against Eureka .
Like I said before , she's great , but she can't do it by herself and Sato's coming back from an injury Again . I didn't watch a lot of Olympics . Did you watch any of the Germany games ?
I didn't catch all of them .
Well , the reason why I'm asking is like how did she look ?
She did . Okay . She still was on the sideline , kind of like , you know , laboring yeah , not laboring , but like they were icing , they were heating . She's not ready , you know , but they're going to do that . Absolutely Try to keep it loose , yeah , when you have an injury like that and you're coming back and you ain't played in a while .
They're going to treat it .
Well , which is good . So we're going to see don't try to win it this year , don't try to make the playoffs . You got two options you take for Paige , take for Paige Hashtag . Take for Paige .
If they get the number one pick . If they do Lose out . What's the second option ?
Well , I guess , gabby , you just have to pick her up . I'm just going to pick up .
Gabby . If you're going to pick up Gabby , you might as well you can't tank , then yeah , you just might as well have kept Odyssey nah , that's different . I don't know she was contributing . She was and the chemistry was there . The chemistry was there . I don't know she was contributing , she was and the chemistry was there .
The chemistry was there You're right , I don't know .
I don't know , we'll see .
Yeah , let's move on .
One more thing about the WNBA . I was just scrolling on the internet the Valkyries they coming . They are coming and they done already started selling gear .
That's what I was gonna say , yeah , I'm like that purple and blue , I like it .
I ain't gonna lie what I saw . I saw a hoodie . I was like okay , well , I just like repping wmba gear period , like I mean , that's the thing I feel like with the wmba , you can pretty much wear whatever .
Yeah , because we're just trying to promote Right , absolutely , I agree with that . Before we get out of the WNBA , though , second half of the season , let's just do the top five right now . New York Liberty they're sitting at number one 22-4 . Connecticut Suns , sitting at number two 18-6 . Minnesota Lynx 18-8 .
Number four Seattle storm 17 and eight in the Las Vegas aces 16 , eight veils . How do you see this ? How do you see the second half of the season playing out ?
Oh , that's a tough one . So I think , oh , I think Connecticut gonna be hungry and and they're going to do their thing . Uh , the New York Liberty , and they're going to do their thing . The New York Liberty , they just won tonight . They blew out , I believe , the Sparks . They may be the team to beat in the end .
I think they're hooping , but I think Connecticut is right behind them . It's being competitive . The Aces , the Aces , uh-oh . Be honest , I don't know if I see them winning it this year . I don't , and I'm an advocate for the aces , but to me it's looking like they're slowing down now . Asia's still having an mvp year .
Yeah , she gonna do her thing , but to me I think it's starting to kind of it from what I see . I think chelsea , which she didn't play much in the Olympics , probably for a reason Because she wants to save it all for , you know , try to get a WNBA championship . But I just I don't know , I don't know . I don't know if I see it .
I don't know if I see them winning this Like . To me it's either going to be the New York Liberty and the Connecticut Sun .
out of those two , let me ask you this too do you think there's been a balance of power ?
yes , I think it's settling out , but we knew that the New York Liberty was a super team last season , they were in the finals , weren't they ? Yes , absolutely but they , coming Stu , got the hoop in the olympics . I feel like it's almost an unfair advantage .
I'm just looking at it at the from this perspective the ones who kept playing , kept playing that's true yeah , they good . Y'all gotta catch up now , and that's why I feel like uh phoenix played the chicago scott tonight . That's why I feel like you know they looked how tonight .
That's why I feel like you know they looked how they look Because Brittany had been in the Olympics , diana , sarasi and Kalaya .
Yep Kalaya Copper , yep .
And so they've been still practicing Playing with better talent Yep . Playing against better talent Yep , absolutely . And I'm not trying to put their teammates there , but I'm just saying , like they kept hooping , you know , I mean , so they ain't got to warm back up right and so I think that's an advantage .
Almost it is in my eyes you know , I mean so new york liberty stew um even connecticut , the connecticut sun um . The point guard played Alyssa Thomas Yep . You know now the Aces played too . You know they had Asian . Pretty much they started five Chelsea , you know Kelsey and Jackie , yeah , yeah , they started five , yeah .
Dang , chelsea , kelsey , jackie , I was talking about the three . Yeah , never mind , it don't matter , you missed it Anyway . So their legs are still going , they've been hooping , they've been getting meaningful buckets and I just mean , I think that that means something . I'm just looking at it from that perspective , but we'll see .
I think that Kaylin is ready to come back and try to snatch the Rookie of the Year award all the way from Angel , even though Angel had a double-double tonight 11-15 .
Let's go .
You know it's . I don't know , we'll see . It's just one of those things where you really can't predict . You just got to watch .
Absolutely . And so I'm excited about the second half of the wmba season okay , with all that being said , and then we'll move on after this . We've seen how the first half of the season played out , and you got your predictions for the second half . Who is coming out of the east and who is coming out of the West ?
As far as like finals or what Finals ?
Yeah , like , who's going to make it ? Who's going to be the last two teams standing ?
It's going to be New York , mm-hmm , and I guess it's going to be the Aces again . And I forgot to mention Minnesota too . They've been hooping too . Yeah , they have been . But anyway , new York and the Aces . You think it's going to be a repeat of that ? I think so . Now I can see Phoenix trying to snatch it from the Aces .
Ooh , because they've been there , copper's , on a mission , I can see that she's been playing with a chip .
Yeah , to me , I feel like I think Chicago and Indiana is just going to be for entertainment . Yeah , absolutely , you know if they stay in the top eight . But yeah , I think it's going to be New York , it's going to be a rematch of last year's finals .
I'm taking and , yes , that would be my second choice , but I feel like Connecticut is going to sneak in there . They're going to find a way . I just do . I feel like they're going to find a freaking way to get into the finals and I do believe the Aces that Minnesota and Aces Minnesota's in the West right Should be .
Yeah , that's going to be a tough battle . Oh , I hate to do this Vance , it's probably going to be the Lynx .
You thinking that .
I think at this point in time , yes , like the only reason the Aces are playing . Well , I would say Asia . Asia's playing with a I don't know she's playing with a chip . I think she's still pissed off that she didn't get MVP last year Because she's playing different .
She's playing outside of her mind , but I just feel like like I don't know , I don't think the rest of the aces are playing at her level right now they don't .
I don't think that's right and that's why I said they're slowing down , but she's at the same level , yeah she hoping , and the links .
I don't watch a lot of their games , but the games I catch . They just rally . Yeah , they rally , and , and and Nafisa Collier is definitely the captain , the leader of that team .
Oh yeah , and she . She also played in the Olympic team .
Yeah , absolutely .
And got plenty of burn .
Yes , she did and hit some big shots . And Kayla McBride , kayla Mc Buckets I wish I could see my face Like she hoops , she gets buckets . So it's like I think at this given point in time I could see Connecticut in the links and the fines , just because of what I'm seeing , just because . Alyssa Thomas is just . She's out .
Dejanay Carrington's just having a career year .
Yeah , she's starring in her role .
Dejanay Carrington's just having a career year .
Yeah , she's starring in her role . You know what I mean and that's what you have to get players to understand is like look , you don't have to be the main scorer or whatever the case . It's like , as long as you do what you're supposed to do in your role and you're good at it , you are contributing . That's how you get playing Tom .
Yep .
Let me just let me stop . That's how you get playing time , yep , but yeah , yeah , I , I'm not mad at that . I'm not mad at that at all . Connecticut and the links and the finals I am not mad at that . I can actually see that happening as well . I just think that it's going to be the liberty and the aces and I want to be .
And it's so good because we can talk about this now and see how it plays out .
I love that part of it , but yeah . Alright , so yeah , we gotta move on from the WNBA . Let's go , and I may not be excited , as I was in years past , but we gotta do it anyway . We gotta talk about it anyway , so let's just get to it .
Beasy , please drop the beat .
The NFL is back . Bills , it's back . Are you excited ? I'm not .
Why not ? I'm a Cowboys fan and that's really all I got to say . I don't have much to say about it . I haven't seen a lot of good things this past summer , you know , surrounding them . I'll let you , you know , go into details about it . But I'm just not excited Like I haven't been . Like looking at my closet like , ooh , I can't wait to wear my .
Ooh , I'm wearing this . No , normally this is when I start shaking the wrinkles out , shaking the wrinkles out of them , shirts and , you know , hanging them up , but I haven't had that feeling . I'm still going to rock my gear , but yeah , it's not . I'm not feeling it right now .
I feel you Because I'm not either . I'm not either . I'm just not ecstatic about this upcoming season . Like reason , as you said , being Cowboys fans , we really don't have anything to be excited about . But before we actually get into our cowboys talk , let's just kind of talk about overall , just the league in general .
How do you see the whole league shaking up at the end , like , what do you see ? This is way too early predictions , way everything . We're just spitballing here . What do do you see this coming ? How this is going to
¶ NFL Team Predictions and Player Contracts
end . Who is your Super Bowl favorite , right ?
now , right now , I'm going to just say the Kansas City Chiefs . You got the Chiefs , or the Niners .
Or the Niners .
That's what I'm going to say right now .
I'm going to be a little daredevil . I think Houston , okay , I don't know why , though I'm going to be a little daredevil .
I think Houston . Okay , I don't know why , though I'm not mad at that . I don't know why I see .
Houston is and I saw it last year like Houston is dangerous . They got Stephon Diggs . They acquired Stephon Diggs over the offseason , which is crazy .
Houston about to be lit . Oh , houston about to be lit .
Oh , Houston about to be insane , Stroud , he coming back from his sophomore year . He's only going to get better . You saw what he did his rookie year . He's only going to get better . I think Houston may find a way to be in the Super Bowl next year . In my real , real opinion and Houston is looking kind of good to me Like Cowboys better get it together .
Do you think , though , and we're just going to get into the Cowboys talk . Do you see the Cowboys winning the divisionboys talk Do you see the Cowboys winning the division . No , who do you think is going to be Philly ?
Yep , Probably , and I hate to say that Obviously it makes me sick to my stomach . I just don't see they . Who did they just get ?
They just got Saquon right , yeah , yeah , they did and they , they don't .
I just I don't see it for the cowboys right now . I'm saying that right now . Now things could change over the season and they could prove me wrong , but right now I see philly winning the division okay , let's do this , let's .
Let's do this , let's play a game . I like games . I want to see if you're going to change your answer after we kind of go through the schedule . Okay , first game of the season . We got the Browns and we play in Cleveland . Who wins that game ?
I'll say the Cowboys will win that game . Okay .
That's one win for the Cowboys . Keep your own score . Then the next following week we got the Saints and Cowboys at home . Saints got to come to us , Cowboys Okay . Then we have the Ravens coming to visit Ravens All right . Then we got to go see the Giants oh , Cowboys . Then we got to make a trip to the Pittsburgh Steelers .
Oh , and they have .
Russell .
Wilson and Brandon Fields right .
Yeah , but only one can play all the time .
I'm going to take the Cowboys in that game .
Okay , then the Lions come to town .
Detroit , I'm going to give it to town Detroit , I'm going to give it to Detroit .
Then we have to go visit the 49ers .
Niners .
Then we have to go visit the Falcons Cowboys . Then the Eagles come to town . Eagles . Texans come to town Texans . We go visit the Commanders Cowboys . The Giants come to town Cowboys . Then the Bengals come to town . I'm going to go Cowboys . We take a trip to visit the Panthers Cowboys . The Buccaneers come to town Cowboys . We have to go visit the Eagles .
Eagles .
And then the Commanders come to town Cowboys .
What did you win with ? So that's 11-6 .
Does that win you the division ?
No , because I feel like the Eagles will win more games than we will .
That's fair .
Is that ?
11-6 ? Yeah , that's 17 .
Yeah . So I think the eagles are gonna be good . I just don't know why , but I I feel like they're gonna be competitive , I feel like they're gonna be tough to beat um , and I just think they're gonna win a division . I just don't see it right . I don't see it for us . We got too much going on right now . We just got way too much going on , I agree .
Agree . He's injured , ain't he Right now ? And he's not , you know . And then you got CeeDee . He's holding out . You know what I mean . We got Zeke back , but Zeke ain't really making no noise like that , no , and we lost some people . We lost somebody to injury already , like for the season , like it's just not looking good for us .
And I want to say that , like last year , I felt it . I felt like , nah , I don't know , but it also was like , you know , but we could , because I had us going last year , I had us going like 13 and 4 , I think , and um , and we did , but we just fumbled in the playoffs .
No pun intended yeah .
And so Fumbled hard . But this year I just don't see it at all .
I'm with you . I'm not mad . I'm with you . I don't see it because of what happened in the playoffs Mm-hmm , like , what a letdown , and we've already rehashed it , so I'm not gonna even go through it . But that puts me in the position where I feel the way I feel right now , where I just don't care . I just I just don't care .
Now I'm gonna watch the games , because I'm just a stupid loyal cowboy fan . But as far as the emotion , I I literally cannot give it and I know I've always , I've been saying it . I just literally cannot give that emotion right now . Because why , why ?
And then then you got your dumb ass owner , jerry jones , refusing to pay cee Lamb for whatever god dang me reason . I don't know , I need to be in those meetings . Okay , no , I feel you , because I need to know what is being discussed . I get it . Ceedee Lamb is wanting to get Justin Jefferson money .
Right now Justin Jefferson is getting four years for 140 million dollars , which is probably probably like 35 million dollars a year . Again we're just having chit chat . Is cd lamb deserving of justin jefferson money ?
I can , okay , so I can see CD making like $20 to $25 million a year Somewhere around that range $10 million less than Jay Jettis . And it's not even a not though , Because you're still getting $20 million a year . It's not a not .
But he is arguably top three . Yeah , he is . He is Okay , so if Justin is getting $35 , then okay , he is , he is Okay .
So if Justin is getting 35 , then okay , cd can get 30 . I can see that , but Jerry , for some reason , is refusing to pay him . So we have to figure out what works .
Okay , you're going to have to let somebody go , and that's the thing . That's what I really want to get into . It got to be that . And if F all the other stuff , let's talk about this for real . If we give CD Lam 35 plus million a year , somebody's not getting paid . It's either gonna be Michael Parsons or it's gonna be Dak .
Let's get rid of Dak let's just get rid of Dak . Let's just get rid of him .
¶ Debating Dak Prescott's Future in Cowboys
I've given my all to Dak . I've believed in him . You know I have been frustrated with him . Then I believed in him again and by numbers , by paper , he's one of the best quarterbacks in the league . Absolutely he is , but when you watch , that's why numbers are starting not to mean much to me in certain sports , in certain players .
Because when you don't do what I need you to do or what your fans need you to do , what your organization needs you to do , you don't come up in the big moments . And we've seen it time after time .
And I'm not saying like I'm giving up on that right now because obviously he's going to be our quarterback , right , but I would much rather , if we have to get rid of somebody , it would be that dakota rain , dakota Rain , prescott , prescott , that's who I would .
You can find you a quarterback , sure , bring Kaepernick , I don't care , do what you gotta do , but if somebody gotta get rid of , it's gonna be that okay and see , I agree with you and the reason why I agree with you .
You're singing a different tone of this . You're singing a different tone maybe , but the only reason why I'm saying that ? Because I just , I just remember in 2016 now it's been some years and you can debate me on that , it's okay , yeah you were so ready to get rid of Tony Romo , you ground Dak the the becoming he was . I told y'all to wait , slow down .
I told y'all to slow down I said wait , let the man develop he was , though he developed .
Come on , we've seen it with our eyes . Like I said , his numbers don't lie .
We've had some really good wins , but we've also seen that he has never risen up in the moments where it mattered .
He has never , never I can't justify the time we beat tampa bay . Justify the time we beat Tampa Bay Tom Brady True when he was about to retire .
But yeah , I beat the shade . Okay , other than that , like he has never , dude you , let freaking Jordan love march into your stadium and made you look like a JV team . The game was over in the Okay . I'm sorry I am not talking about the playoffs anymore , but this is why I'm not excited about this season . I can't justify giving him $60 million a year .
It ain't my money .
But I can't stand behind an organization that is willing to give somebody $60 freaking million a year that has not proven a damn thing . You want a playoff game what's that new ? Give me my money Yay , give me my money . You know what I I'm saying ? You want a playoff game yay okay 60 million .
You know the playoff game to get quiet like if we was on video .
Like you know , I'm saying so I can't . Jerry , I don't know what you're doing with cd lamb . I don't know what you're doing with CeeDee Lamb . I don't know what kind of game weird , kind of weird game you're playing with him . Give him his bread . Give him his bread .
He does definitely deserve his $35 or whatever million dollars , because who else is out there , jerry ?
is a that guy .
He is a that guy , and you know what it reminds me of . Ceedee Lamb is all but 22 , 23 years old , dak is 30 , 31 .
You know what it reminds me of what ? Jerry was also a Jason Garrett guy , and we see . You know , when he's loyal to somebody , he's loyal to them , and it could be to the detriment of the organization . You know , when he's loyal to somebody , he's loyal to them , and it could be to the detriment of the organization it definitely is .
Yeah , and you bring up a valid point . And that is the problem . This is why the cowboys are stuck in this cycle of mediocrity . How about I say that right , like , that's where we are . We're stuck on just being good enough . We can't get a viable pick because we're good enough .
We'll make the playoffs , we may win a playoff game , so we can't pick in the lottery , we can't go grab us a top-tier quarterback because we're just good enough . There was somebody had proposed a question online like should you just trade Micah and then just get draft capital ? I hated that idea . I thought that was stupid .
But do you , if we're rebuilding even though though they never said we were rebuilding , but it's obviously very freaking clear that we're rebuilding Do you trade Micah for draft capital ?
We can't get rid of Micah man .
So I mean you can't keep all three . I know you said Dak got to go .
Yep .
Who's your quarterback ? We got to find one . Are you in a Trey Lance ?
No , because I mean well , maybe , maybe , or if we can get one off the street , we'll be all right , but I would much rather have somebody now off the street .
Than Dak .
No , I'm playing .
No , I'm playing , no , I'm playing , no , I'm playing .
but that's how serious I am when I say like I would much rather get rid of him than anybody else . You know what I mean .
I know and I get it . I just thought that was an interesting thing about the Micah and draft pace . Like truly , like . I said when I first I'm like man , this is dumb as hell . But I was like what I'm like ? Nah , our defense , like I never even cared about defense until micah came , because michael was like fun on defense .
You know what ?
I mean , let me ask you one more this before we get out of here is mike mccarthy on the hot seat this season ?
yeah , of course , yes you don't , you don't do , you don't take care of business this season . You gone .
So what is it ? So let's layer it . Is it Super Bowl or bust , or playoff win or bust ?
What is it ? You at least got to go two rounds deep or bust .
That's fair .
Two rounds deep or bust . And that's sad because I want us to win a Super Bowl , but two rounds deep or bust , or bust .
So Mike McCarthy's done .
If he doesn't go two rounds he's done .
Yes , Is Bill Parcells , not Bill Parcells . I'm sorry .
Bill .
Belichick is he in .
Bill , yeah , I can see that . I can see that happening . Should have been this year anyway , but yeah , I can see that happening .
It's kind of hard . I mean , is mike mccarthy the problem ?
I'm not saying he's the problem , but sometimes you do need different coaches to bring things out of you that you didn't know you had . Sometimes a change is good , that's . You may have won with aaron rogers back , you know , in in green bay , but maybe this just ain't the system or just the organization you know for you Right .
But it's a combination of things Makes sense . It's going to be a long season , vils .
Yeah , long season , and I'm not mad at CD Land for holding out Get your money , it sucks . I hope that a resolution can be resolved soon .
Uh , like I said , I'm stepping 110 behind veils , like if somebody gotta go , that we thank you , we appreciate you for all that you have done , but there comes a point in time where you just gotta say goodbye and I'll be okay with that . You never can say no . But seriously , though , like I'm not trading micah , I I'm not getting rid of CeeDee Lamb .
Those are young pieces that you , unfortunately , you haven't proven enough . Like you've gotten us to where we can succeed , but you haven't taken us over the hump , and that's the thing . We have not gotten over the hump . Yep , we have not gotten over the hump . And if you're demanding $65 million or $60 million , I cannot justify that . I don't sign the check .
It ain't my money . I know all of that , but I can't , I'm not willing . Let me tell you this If the Cowboys are willing to part with CeeDee Lamb , to try to sign that to 60 something million dollars , I will take my fandom down 35 . I will be a Houston Texas fan .
Uh oh , I wouldn't be able to do it anymore because and I'm probably lying I am probably lying you are . I wanted to sound believable , but it's okay that don't make any sense , but we're gonna get out of here man ?
I am probably not , you are I wanted it to sound believable , but it's okay , but it's colors .
That don't make any sense . But , we're going to get out of here man Long episode . Have fun . I got who I said I had . At the end
¶ Super Bowl Predictions
I had . We didn't do Super Bowl prediction , did we ? We did , damn .
I don't remember that Who'd you say you had Kansas City Chiefs winning .
All of it , who was coming out of the NFC ? Oh , you didn't have that . Okay , Kansas City . My prediction I could see these Chiefs going again , but for some reason , I don't even know why , and it's really left field . I can see the Detroit Lions . I can see the Detroit Lions winning the Super Bowl .
Like I said before , it's so great that we get to see yeah .
Because I'm going to say this real quick Detroit showed a lot of heart last year and they were definitely pissed off when they lost against San Francisco because they were supposed to win that game . And I'm telling you they're coming back strong . That coach they have Dabal I can't remember his name anyway that coach they had .
He he's the type of guy that not Zondavol , I can't remember his name , anyway , that coach they had he he's the type of guy that you can tell the players run through walls for the way he amps them up , gets them ready .
That is a different Detroit Lion team and and I really do hate to say that , but yeah , I got Detroit probably winning the Super Bowl in 2025 alright , we'll see alright , y'all . That's episode 31 . It I got Detroit probably winning the Super Bowl in 2025 . All right , all right , we'll see . All right , y'all . That's episode 31 . It's been real , it's been fun .
We're going to get up out of here like this it's the one and only Elyse .
And it's your girl , Vils , aka Villy Ville , if that's what you want to call me .
And together we are Lock in sports Peace .
