SPEAKER_06 0:49

Welcome back, everyone. Welcome back to the show. I hope everyone had a great week. And of course, I I gotta ask. How's your brackets going? How's the brackets going, people? Oh, we'll get to those in a minute. Because you know why the host is smiling and laughing right now. Because that's right, no Cinderella teams are winning. And Texas is not a Cinderella team. They're a big fight school. They are big uh conference school. So they're not a they're not a Cinderella team, they're not a mid-major. So we'll get to more NCAA bracket talk. But first we got this. Dear host, I want to comment on your story you told about your golf trip on the alleged mugging, as you put it. I just have one question. You mentioned that the two guys that were in your group went up and talked to two British guys above them. I just have the the question is, what two guys are going to talk to another two guys at three in the morning? You know, that's a very good question. Um that's a great question by someone who emailed the uh the host about that. I asked myself that too. Now, if if you would have told me that two guys went upstairs at three in the morning to talk to two British women, okay. But I I didn't really think about it that way. Two gu two uh guys went and talked to two other guys at three in the morning. Wow, okay. I mean, it's a good point by this email. Oh, good point uh that he brought it up. So your host. I heard your story about the a mugging incident on your golf trip. Now, last year I remember, I am an avid listener, by the way, and last year I remember uh your story about uh somebody getting arrested in the lobby, if I recall, something like that, and a couple other guys kind of getting in trouble. Uh somebody almost getting run over or something like that, some sort of story like that. I do remember those stories that you told me. I never thought that your crew would be involved in a mugging incident. I don't know, host, I'm beginning to judge your character and the people you hang out with. Maybe it's time to break up the golf trip and go with another group of guys. It seems like every year now, host, that your group is getting into more and more trouble. And sooner or later, it's gonna trickle on down to you. I hope not, but that just sounds like that is the case with this year's incident. I hope you're doing well. I'm sorry you played bad. I really enjoy the show. Have a great NCAA tournament host. Oh, all right, thank you. That was a good email, right? That was a good email. The guy uh, you know, was concerned about the host well-being on the trip, concerned about the people that are on the trip. I understand that. I'm not in charge of all the people on the trip. Now, I'll do say this. Over the years, and I don't know if this has anything to do with it, over the years, the host and his crew that he hangs out with on a trip, we were on the younger side. And now, 30 years later, the host and his crew are on the older side, and the gentlemen that were older than us, well, unfortunately, you know, a lot of them are too old and cannot play five days in a row. A lot of them are old and don't want to come on the trip anymore. And the sad thing is a few of them have passed away, and that is sad for the guys because they were all great, great guys who would go on this trip. So as that crew kind of windles down, you got to go and get some younger guys to keep their tradition going. Maybe it's the younger guys, maybe, maybe we should cap off the age at 40. I don't know. I don't know what the solution is. Um, you know, I it is what it is, and I don't know if it's this, you know, just people not being careless. I I don't know. I I mean it is what it is, but I appreciate this listener's uh uh email. I appreciate his concern. And oh, don't worry, we'll get to the host uh March Madness results here shortly. Don't worry. I got one more though. Dear host, I just want to say I'm happy you did horrible on your golf trip. I'm happy you didn't score well, I'm happy you didn't putt. All you're bragging all the time of what you do. I can do this, I can do that, I'm the host. The host can throw a touchdown pass here, the host can steal a base here, the host can hit a hundred mile per hour fastball. Host, you're full of it. I'm glad you played bad, and I'm glad that you had a miserable time on the golf course. You may have had a good time otherwise, but I'm glad that you had bad unfortunates on that golf course. You deserve it for bragging all the time, talking about how great you are. Jeez, okay. You know, you get these emails. I and by the way, there were, I usually, I usually don't look at a lot of the emails. And we usually don't read emails on every show. Because why I would I could sit here for 45 minutes and read emails, and that would be the whole show. We wouldn't get to any of the content that I have for you on any of the shows that we do. I I would I could sit here and read emails all the time. And sometimes, people, let me lay you in on a little secret. I don't always look at the emails. So, you know, email you all you want. Sometimes I don't look at them. This is the truth. I had to look at the ones after the golf trip because I was curious to see what people said. I had about 40 emails from the golf trip. A lot of people, by the way, a lot of people were with the host on the alleged mugging story. Not, not, and again, I didn't say what my theory was about the alleged mugging. A lot of people were just in the same boat as the host saying that the story didn't make any sense. And a lot of people did say in their emails that there's more than the story than those two guys were telling. That's all. That's all I'm gonna say. And I'm I'm with a lot of the emails, and trust me, there's people on the golf trip. I'm not gonna say any names that feel the same way. That's all I'm gonna say. I'm not gonna throw anybody under the bus. I'll throw myself under the bus. I'm right here on the microphone talking about it. I'll throw myself under the bus. I don't care. I'm I'm calling shenanigans on the story. But I I'm glad you guys, I'm glad you guys got some laughs or whatever. You talked about it. Like 40 people emailed about it. I mean, come on. But anyway, anyway, back to what's going on out there in the sports. Well, you guys wanted it. You guys want the NCA tournament, you guys wanted to do your bracket. Remember, I made fun of all you guys. I got a 12 seed, I got a 13 seed, I got a 14 seed. How did that all pan out for you with picking those higher seeds? Oh, that's right. None of them won except at high point. And where are they today? That's right. Sent home packing already. And you people, for some unknown reason, love it. And I bet you're all crying right now.

SPEAKER_00 9:47

My brackets all messed up. I had a 14 seed, I even had a 15 seed, meaning a second seed.

SPEAKER_06 9:54

I bet you're all crying right now. Because your brackets all messed up. Host isn't crying. Because you know what? The host didn't do a bracket. I bet the game's individually. Oh, I know. I know. We'll get to that, people, because you're gonna love it. You're gonna love what the host has to say about him betting on the bracket, betting on the individual game. Oh, you people will love it. Karma, you're all gonna say karma. Yeah, you got Texas. Okay, Texas, 11th seed. But they're not, they're not a mid-major. Like I said at the beginning, beginning of the show. They're not a mid-major team. And they be a mid-major team, wouldn't you say? Gonzaga? Why don't you say Gonzaga is a mid-major team? You know, they got the drunk Mark Fay as the coach. How many times has that guy been pulled over for DUI? How many DUIs has that guy had? You know? Can't seem to uh, you know, know the number or uh download the app for Uber or Lyft. Uh he's got to get in the car and drive after a few drinks all the time. You know, if Texas beat him easily, too. And this is this is the best part. I told someone, yeah, whoever wins between Texas and whoever they were playing, they weren't beating BYU. Not only Texas beat BYU, they beat Gonzaga, and they're in the Sweet 16. So that shows you how much the host was paying attention to the to the basketball. And just think, you people out there, you people who love to play the brackets. That's what I'm talking. When I say you people, it's the people who love to play the bracket. That's who I'm talking about. You want more teams. 68's not enough for you. You guys want more teams in this thing. And you know what? I may be with you on the more teams. I'm gonna tell you why. Right now, the way the NIL is, and the way that all the good teams now poach the mid-majors and take all their good players by paying them more money than the mid-majors can. Now all the good teams have all, not only do they have all the top recruits out of high school, the following year, they get all the best players from the mid-majors. They recruit all those guys. So I got something for you. I'm with you with more teams. You guys want to see the higher seeds win. You guys want to see a team like High Point, for example, win a few games. Yeah, you want to see a team like Siena, who gave Duke a good run for their money in a round one game as a 16th seed. You want to see teams like that. You want to see, you want to see teams win games like that? Well, have 32 more teams play then. Have them 30, invite 32 more teams in the tournament. Make it 96, and then the top 32 teams give all those teams a buy. All the top teams. You know, my my whole thing for years, my perfect, and I said this before on this show, my perfect NCAA tournament would be the top 32 teams, double elimination, no mid-majors. None. None. I don't want to see one damn mid-major in my top 32 teams. I want all the big schools, all the top players, all the top coaches. That's what I want in my 32. But I'm willing, I'm willing to meet you guys halfway for all you people who love the small schools, who love the mid-majors. Since now, with the format, none of these mid-majors teams can win. Yes, as an example, you saw High Point winning one game. They're not winning two. None of these teams are winning two games. And as I sit here record this right now, there's still four or five games that have to be played on this Sunday. None of those teams are winning. Nobody's beaten, you know, the remaining higher seeds today. Nobody's beaten Florida. Nobody's beaten Arizona. Okay? None of those higher seed teams are winning. But I'm willing to meet you halfway. Add 32 more teams, and they can be all mid-majors. And let them play the bottom 32 teams that wouldn't normally make the bracket. Have them play the first weekend. Meanwhile, all the big schools, all the top players get a week off with some rest. And they're all primed to go for the following weekend. Then you can have, then you, then you could say, oh, I got I got a high point winning two or three games. Oh, I I got a I got a 22nd seed winning a few games. You guys can all be excited about it. You can all have your underdog mid-major teams get excited and win a few games. And then everybody will be happy. And then the following weekend, they can all get crushed by the big teams. But at least you'll have your teams win a few games. You could be excited for. Here's the other thing that was driving me nuts the first two days of watching the tournament. And even yesterday, these damn announcers were rooting so hard for the higher seed teams to win. They were rooting so hard for them to win a game. It was ridiculous. It was to the point that it was so obvious that it was not fun listening and watching the game. I just I finally just turned the sound down on the TV and just what and just watch. Because whoever the announcers were on it, on it, whatever, CBS, TNT, True TV, TBS, whoever the play-by-play guy was and the color guy, they were rooting so hard, so hard for the higher seeds to win. And it was just making it just ridiculous. It was just ridiculous to listen to. We get it. Y'all want to get excited and say, the madness! Marsh madness! I get it. You want to see that. There was some madness. That first round game with Kentucky. The guy hit the three-pointer just beyond the halftime. I'm sorry, just beyond the half court to send the game in the overtime. Bam, bam sequence. That was exciting. You had the game yesterday with uh Vanderbilt and uh I forget who the other team was. That was exciting. Uh Nebraska. Vanderbilt in Nebraska. That was exciting at the end. That was bang, bang. And the shot, the Vanderbilt guy chucking that ball up from half court and rimming in and out. Just like Shooter and uh Hoosiers did the thing when he over. Yeah, yeah. In and out. That was exciting. So there's been some madness, but the madness that these announcers want is a higher C team winning and going to the Sweet 16. And again, they keep on bragging that they want that, but they keep on failing to say in the return of that, no one watches. Guess what? The people who wanted Arkansas to win, this this just say this. Say high point did beat Arkansas. So you you get rid of all the Arkansas fans, you get rid of a lot of SEC fans, and you're gaining a little bit of high point. All just to say, high point a 12th seed, made it to the sweet 16. But no one watches. And they're gonna get trounced anyway in the next game. So we're where where's the excitement in that?

unknown 18:40

I ask.

SPEAKER_06 18:41

People love to talk about it. People love to bring it up. Oh, look at that 12th seed, they made it to the sweet. No, they didn't. Nobody did yet. And again, Texas is not a mid-major team. I know they're 11th seed, but big five school.

SPEAKER_05 19:03

So you can say what you want.

SPEAKER_06 19:05

You can say you can get mad at the host. You could disagree with the host all day. It's fine. So I'm here. I'm here on my show talking about the what I feel about the NC. And you can disagree with me all you want. But you know, that's the way I feel about it. But I'll I'll I'll I said, like I said, I'll meet you guys half I'll meet you guys halfway. Let another 32 teams in. All mid-major team. You guys can get all excited about the first weekend of the tournament. Let all those teams play. And then let the real tournament start the weekend after with the top 32 teams advancing with a buy. There, I mean, I'm there. I met you guys halfway with your mid-majors and your higher seats. Now, before I get into the the host setting, and I know there'll be some people happy about this. I just want to throw this out there. Remember all these Kentucky fans and all the people who root for Kentucky? Remember how they couldn't stand John Calipari as the head coach? Well, we're not winning anymore with John Calapari. We gotta get him out of there. We're not, we're not, we we don't run an efficient basketball program. We we need new coach, we need new blood in there, new recruiting. John Calapari is not getting it done. So they forced John Calapari out as coach, and they hired uh this Marcus Pope, I believe is his name. Maybe I already I know his last name is Pope. Maybe I don't have his first name. Well, since he's been the head coach, oh they failed to make it to the Sweet 16. Oh, they got bounced today again. Um lost today to Iowa State. Iowa State was missing one of their best players, and they still got bounced, they still lost by like 15 points. Meanwhile, John Cal Parry went and coached Arkansas. How's Arkansas doing? They made it to the Sweet 16 of each of his seasons. He's coached there since he's left Kentucky. But Kentucky wanted John Cal Parry out. How fitting is it that Arkansas college basketball is in a better place today than Kentucky basketball? Think about that. Kentucky championships, final four, SEC champions. No that's just John C. Alpari left. Arkansas SEC tournament champion 16th six sweet 16 again John Calpartie recruiting players running the ball up and down the court one of the highest scoring teams in the nation where's Kentucky? They look like they're about a decade behind right now in their college basketball program. Yet all the Kentucky basketball fans wanted John Calpari gone. Careful what you wish for. Again, careful what you wish for. Not always greener on the other side. Kentucky fans are finding out the hard way right now about this. They're just finding it out the hard way. Now, for everyone's laughable enjoyment. So we're gonna turn it around now. I'm coming after you. Listen, I'm on my fans here because I know my fans love to play the bracket. They love to have the mid-Majors in there. They love picking a higher seed winning in their bracket. Well, it's coming full circle. And again, you get what you ask for. Karma for the host. Now, I said the host is gonna do, you know, bet individual games. I'll do way better than betting on a bracket. That's what the host said. Remember, that was the host said on the last show. I'll do way better on the bracket. Thursday comes around, host is all fired up, gets his picks ready, sends his picks out to the guest, sends his picks out to this other guy we know. Now I bet 13 of the 16 games. The host went two and eleven. Like I said, karma's a bitch. That's what you get, host making fun of all the people doing the brackets. You're making fun of all the people with the mid majors, and you go two and eleven. Yep. Now, I said, well, Friday will bounce back. That's a new day. There's sixteen more games for the host and back. Sixteen more. What cooked all wrong for the host? The host went five and seven. That's right, people. The host. After two days of the tournament, seven and eighteen. So there. That should make you all happy right there. Host running his mouth about people doing brackets, making fun of people doing brackets, making fun of people picking the higher seeds. What happens? Karma always gets you. Always gets you. The host goes seven and eighteen his first two days betting on the turn. Now we did rebound yesterday. We went five and three. We bet every game yesterday. There's eight games. We went five and three. That ain't great. Considering we've been seven or eighteen the first two days. But we went five and three yesterday. And we're one and one. I think we're one and one right now today. Bet every game today. So we'll give you that. We'll get an update on that later. But that's where we are right now. The host is what's it? 7, 5, 12, 12, and 21. 12 and 21 right now. After three days, not including what's already happened. Host is 12 and 21. Man. That's what happens. You could say almost the same thing about the about the golf trip. Remember the host was running his mouth, bragging how great he was with the red filth on here, telling how many times he beat him on the show, making fun of the red filth, and then he went on the golf trip and played like shit. You could say the same thing for that too. Maybe the host should keep his mouth quiet from now on. Just do a show instead of bragging how great he is all about. I'm sure a lot of you like that. Um other things before we move on to a few other items I got for the show here. Um now I know there's a lot of games going on across a lot of networks. Like I said, CBS, TNT, uh TBS, and True TV. Well, we got Kevin Harlan, one of the great play-by-play guys that we've had over most recent years. He's great at the NFL. Uh he's great when he was doing the NBA on TNT. I don't know where he is now on any of these networks uh since uh you know TNT lost the basketball. I don't know if Kevin Harlan's even calling any NBA games. But it was great to hear Kevin Harlan doing play by play of the tournament. But they paired him with Stan Van Gundy. Stan Van Gundy, Mr. Staff, Mr. Obvious, master of obvious, Stan Van Gundy. Doesn't add anything to the broadcast, always chiming in when he doesn't need to, always commenting on the replay, always commenting on something that has nothing to do with the game. He just takes Kevin Harlan down and just drags the game on and makes it unlistened. So again, once again, the host enjoys Kevin Harlan. He's gonna reach for his remote and hit the mute button. I don't know why these networks have to make the listeners suffer with the most insufferable people they put along with these great play-by-play guys. Hey host, have you ever listened to yourself? Okay, alright. Okay, we didn't need that comment. But you know, it's just Kevin Harlan, great play-by-play guy, and he's with Stan Van Gunner. I I I just don't understand it. I just don't understand. But anyway, that's how it is. Now, my last complaint about the NCAA tournament. I've been dying to get rid of the YouTube. YouTube, YouTube, somehow I've still got the YouTube, and I'm paying the$82.99 a month. Now, you would think that I don't need the YouTube, but NCA tournaments on for three weeks, you get every game. So I said to myself, well, wait a minute. Maybe I can finally get rid of the YouTubes. CBS is broadcasting the tournament with all their channels. I got Paramount Plus. I should be able to call up Paramount Plus and watch every game. Well, oh, that's what I'll do. So I dial up Paramount Plus, watch NCAA March Madness, click games come up. You scroll through the games on the Paramount Plus, which is CBS, but they're not streaming the actual CBS game. They're streaming the TNT game, they're streaming the TBS game, they're streaming the true TV game, but not the CBS game. So you're like, what the hell? How is that possible? So you and again, my tablet that I have, they don't have YouTube, they don't have a YouTube TV app on my tablet. At the time I was trying to watch the games through the C the Paramount Plus app, Sienna was beating Duke. And I said, holy cow, I gotta watch the end of this to see if Duke pulls this out. Because that would have been a major upset. And a lot of people would have loved it, right? 16 over a one. When I go on the Paramount Plus, because Duke was on CBS, not on the app. And all year you hear when you watch the NFL, whatever the big game is, also stream it on Paramount Plus. Not the NCAA tournament. So then I said to myself, well, who else broadcasts the Paramount Plus stuff? Oh, the host. He clicks on his HBO Max app. Oh, I got HBO Max. I click on HBO Max. There's all the games again. The March Madness games.

SPEAKER_05 32:08

The games for TNT. The games for True TV.

SPEAKER_06 32:13

The games for TBS. And the CBS games. I'm a and when you put it on the HBO Max, they put all the four games in a nice quad box for you. Just like the YouTubes does. The YouTube puts it in the multi-view. HBO Max automatically put it in the multi-view. So you're able to watch all four games on the HBO Max app. Paramount Plus, forget it, you can't watch the CBS game. You gotta watch what you've got to go to your cable provider or whoever you streaming partner, whoever you have with CBS, whatever it is. Hula, Tubi. Well, I don't know how you get CBS. You know, YouTube, DirecTV. Can't watch it on the Paramount Plus, but you can watch it on the HBO Max app. So I'm a little fishy there of what has happened. Maybe, and again, this was the Thursday. This was the first day I was trying to watch this. Maybe they corrected itself over the weekend because I I've been home since Thursday. I've been watching it on the YouTube. So I've been home. So maybe they've corrected. Maybe that was just a one-day thing that it was screwed up. They didn't have it dialed in right. I don't know how you wouldn't have it dialed in correctly knowing that this has been happening for weeks now, but just saying. But I found it strange that Paramount Plus, you couldn't watch the CBS game, but you could watch the CBS broadcast game on HBO Ma. Just just a little tidbit to throw out there for you guys in case in case you guys were wondering. I don't know if you were. And of course, I got something else for you guys. I have a comparison. Now we do this every once in a while on this show. We compare two NFL players. Whether it be quarterbacks, whether it be running backs, receivers, etc. etc.

unknown 34:28

etc.

SPEAKER_06 34:30

I got two receivers today to compare. Receiver A, and receiver B. Receiver A, 95 games played, 485 receptions in his career, 5,254 receiving yards, 10.8 receiving yards per game, 25 receiving touchdowns, 11 rushing attempts for 100 yards, 9.1 yards rushing per attempt, zero rushing touchdowns. That was wide receiver A. Wide receiver B. 78 games in his career. 373 receptions. 13.5 receiving yards per catch. So even though receiver B has a hundred or more receptions less in his career, he averages almost three more yards per catch. He's got 26 receiving touchdowns in his career, one more than receiver A. He's had 14 rushing attempts in his career for 81 yards, 5.8 yards per carry, but he also has one rushing touchdown. So he has one more receiving touchdown than player A, and one more rushing touchdown than player A. Player A has no rushing touchdown. But again, receiver A, 485 receptions, 5,254 receiving yards, 25 touchdowns. Receiver B, 373 receptions, 5,039 receiving yards, 26 touchdowns. That's for their whole career. Now moving on. This comparison for receiver A and receiver B is just for the 2025 season. To put it in an even more focus for you guys, receiver A for the 2025 season. 111 targets, 80 receptions, 784 receiving yards, 9.8 yards per catch, 7 touchdowns, 47 first downs, 72.1 catch rate, 4.7 catches per game. That was receiver A. Receiver B, 100 targets in 2025, 64 receptions, so 16 less than receiver A. 910 receiving yards. So a little more than 100 yards receiving than receiver A. 14.2 yards per catch. So almost five yards more per catch. Only six receiving touchdowns, 48 for first down, 64.0 catch rate, and 4.8 catches per game for receiver B. So you're saying to yourself, wow. I mean, it's it's close, but how many would would favor receiver A? Okay, I'm I'm just imagining talking to you right now, you're all with your hands up. How many would favor receiver B? Right? So just so you know, if you haven't figured it out yet, receiver A is Michael Pittman Jr. He was just traded from the Indianapolis Colts to the Pittsburgh Steel. Receiver B was just traded this past week. And that of course is Jalen Waddell of the Miami Dolphins was traded to the Denver Broncos. Now here's the best part of this trade. I just read you the stats. You would almost think they were the same receiver. And again, I didn't do this comparison. I didn't do this comparison because one guy got traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers. I did not do that comparison. Somebody else did all this. One of the guys that did it was a Steeler guy, and another guy did it, but doesn't care less about either guy. He's a neutral guy who did the comparison. Now just think about this. Receiver A, Michael Pittman Jr., got traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a sixth round pick. Jalen Waddle, receiver B, with almost the same exact stats. A little slightly better in yards per catch, a little slightly better in yards. He was traded to the Denver Broncos for a first round pick and a third round pick. Now you could say, well, host, the argument is that Michael Pittman Jr. didn't have any years left on his contract. Jalen Waddell did. Pittsburgh had to give Michael Pittman Jr. some money to stay with them. I understand that part of it. But one team, and I'm not saying I'm not bragging here because I'm saying the Steelers got a better deal, and who knows how this is going to play out for both teams. Steelers don't have a quarterback right now. So it could pan out way better for Jalen Watt and the Denver Brown. I'm just saying you're it's basically right now in their careers, right now, without going forward, another, without looking ahead into the future. Right now, the Steelers got a six-round pick, gave away a six-round pick, and the Denver Broncos gave away a first and a third for basically the same play. And again, it could totally pan out way better for the Denver Broncos in the future. I understand that. But all I'm looking at right now is today. The information that is in front of me today. The stats by both these guys, today. Think about that. You think Denver would have loved this to give a six-round pit for Michael Pittman Jr. if they knew that deal was happening? You think they could they could have offered Indianapolis more for him? If they knew that was only the price tag? Again, I'm just reading this the stats. That's all I'm doing. Compare stats from one receiver to another. And just telling you what the compensation was for player A and for player B. Now the best part of all this, this is the Miami Dolphins wide receiver room after trading Jalen Waddle. Now stop shaking in your boots when I read these names. 2-2 Atwell, Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, Terrence Marshall Jr. Theo Wees Jr. Taha Washington and A.J. Henning. And you just signed a guy to a three-year deal for sixty some million dollars that threw 35 passes last year. This is the same guy that had Romeo Da. And those other Green Bay receivers. Had TJ Kraft, or Tyler Crops, our Tyler Craft before he got injured. Tight end. Big tight end for Green Bay. Think about that. Millick Wells had those receivers last year. And he only still only threw 35 passes. And now he's going to a Miami team. When he signed the contract, well, I got GL Waddle. Oh, not so fast! My friend. He's gone. You got these guys. Good luck. But we gave you sixty million. And you got your defensive coordinator as your head coach. Good luck with that. And speaking of which, most receiving yards over the last five seasons. Justin Jefferson, number one, seven thousand eighty yards. Jamar Chase, number two, sixty, eight hundred and thirty-seven yards. C. D. Lamb, number three, sixty, four hundred and eighty-one yards. Amon St. Brown, four, sixty, two hundred and fifty-two receiving yard. Devontae Adams is fifth, six thousand sixty-five receiving yard. Tyreek Hill, currently on nobody's team. At number six, fifty, seventy-two passing yards. AJ Brown, 5,903 receiving yards. Currently can't get traded anywhere. Stephon Diggs, not on anybody's team. 5,346 receiving yards. Michael Pittman, 5,275 receiving yards. TJ Moore, 5,057 yards and coming in last of the top receivers since 2021 in receiving yards. Jalen Watt, 5,039 yards. So you gave up a first and a third for the 11th best receiver since 2021. That's basically what you did. In terms of stats, the Denver Broncos gave up a first and a third for the 11th best receiver. I hope it works out for him. Maybe it's exactly what they need to go along with Cortland Sutton. Maybe they needed that guy. Marvin Mins was a fast guy, but he's gonna give him the ball. Maybe Jalen Wilde will work his way into those deep routes. Get those passes from Bo Knicks working Cortland Sutton in there. Maybe it's just what the Broncos needed. To stay on top of the AFC West. Maybe it was worth it for them to give up a first and a third. They were so sold on it. They could have offered a Colt a fifth and got Trump the Steelers play. So before I go, I'll give you guys one more NFL stat. Most passing TDs over the last three NFL seasons. Who who do you think has the most passing TDs the last three seasons in the NFL? Well, host, it's gotta be the Mahomes. Nope, he's on the list. Oh come on, host, it's gotta be Josh Allen. No, he's on the list. It's gotta be Matthew Staff. No, he's third. So who is it? Come on, people, don't look it up. Don't look it up. Think. Think don't be scrambling near Google right now, trying to trump the host and figuring out who it is. Who has the most passing TDs over the last three NFL seasons? Well, if you had Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions with 101, you're the winner. That's right. Jared Goff leads the NFL in touchdown passes in the last three seasons. Who's second? I said Matthew Stafford was third. Who's second? Baker Mayfield is second with 95. Matthew Stafford has 90. Lemar is fourth with 86. Josh Allen is fifth with 82. Jordan Love is 6th with 80. Dak Prescott is 7th with 77. Joe Burrow is 8th with 75. The Mahomey is 9th with 75. And Brock Purdy is the last person on this list with 71 touchdown passes over the last three seasons. Keep in mind he's 30 behind Jared Goff. And a lot of it, of course, was Ben Johnson helping out Jared Goff. Two of those seasons, he had Ben Johnson. Didn't have Ben Johnson last season. But he's still number one on this list. Jared Goff, 101. He's the only guy over a hundred TD passes the last three seasons. Can you believe? And I'm not I'm not dogging on Jared Goff. I'm not I'm not dissing on him at all. At all. I'm not saying he's bad or anything. I'm just saying, can you believe that he's got more touchdown passes than all those guys? Mahomes, Lima, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Matthew Stafford. Jalen Hurts isn't even on this list. He's won a Super Bowl. Sam Darnold's not on this list. He won a Super Bowl. K Williams has only played two seasons. So this is the last three seasons. So he's he's not gonna play. He's played three seasons. So think about it. Be on top of that list. One, you gotta be doing something, right? Two, you haven't gotten hurt. Right? That helps too. Jerichoff hasn't gotten hurt. He's played every game. And three, he's been on a pretty good team. Even though they don't have a head coach, he's been on a pretty good team. So 101 TD passes for Jerichoff over the last three seasons. Leads all those guys on list. Too bad he didn't have Michael Pittman Jr. and Jalen Waddle's throat. Oh he had he had Amante Brown. He was on the top receiver list. But uh anyway, that's all I got for you guys on this show today. Hey, the tournament's going on. You shouldn't even be listening to me right now. You should be watching the tournament. But I'm sitting here recording for you guys during the tournament. And I know you guys be listening to me all week. And I just want to another shout out to all you guys who listen to this show. Again, I know the host comes on here, says some stuff. You may disagree, you may agree, 90% of the time you probably disagree. But the about the thing is with you guys, you guys stick with me. You guys listen to me and you listen to me every show. And I couldn't appreciate that more. I mean, I I say this almost every show. And I again I appreciate you guys listening. I try to be entertaining. Entertaining for you guys. I try to be. I try to make you guys laugh every now and then. I try to say some ridiculous stuff to get you guys going, what the hell is the host thinking? But I'm sure you'll find the betting story of me betting on the NCAA games. I'm sure you guys will love it. Because a lot of people do. A lot of haters out there do. But I got my hardcore fans who love it. And I I love you guys. I love everyone who listens to the show. And you guys have been great lately. The show has been doing so well.

You know, on the latest Megadeth album, um, Dave Moostane decided that he wanted to do his own version of Ride the Lightning. As you remember, Dave Moostane was one of the original members of McCallum. Well, here's a little snippet of his version that's included in the latest Megadeth album. This is Dave Moustain's version of Ride the Lightning.
