Speaker 0:00

It is big game energy for Thursday, May 28th. James and Spence are hanging out with you Yeah We're gonna do a full on No Huddle episode today. Oh. It's gonna be a lot of madness. It's gonna be all over the place. But we are gearing up for the NBA finals starting next week, so it's gonna be a pretty laid back show today, James.

Speaker 2 0:17

Yeah. Spence, are we doing a watch along Wednesday night, June 3rd, for game one of the finals? For game one of the finals? I'm not

Speaker 0:23

opposed to it. I'm not opposed

Speaker 2 0:25

to it. Man. 8:30 is a decent time. I'll put my kids down, man, I'll be like, "Hey, Oh, hold up. Matter of fact, I just realized next week, Wednesday, I have marriage small group.

Speaker 0:36

Ooh.

Speaker 2 0:37

Uh, sorry, church, NBA finals the next day. That's what I was about to...

Speaker 0:41

Come on, now. Come on. You know what the deal is.

Speaker 2 0:44

You know what the deal is.

Speaker 0:45

Hey, man, look i'm a very big believer that sports are one of the best things that God has ever given us.

Speaker 2 0:52

Yes. That and... Never mind, I'm not going there. This is a PG-13 movie.

Speaker 0:56

PG-13, but I think the people can fill in the blank, and they know what you're talking about. They

Speaker 2 1:01

know

Speaker 1:01

what I'm talking about. Let's just say James is a very straight, heterosexual man. And in today- That's all we'll say on that one.

Speaker 2 1:07

In today's world, that is a sin, in today's world.

Speaker 1:11

Yes, bad. James, bad. Bad.

Speaker 2 1:14

They treat me like a dog. Bad dog.

Speaker 1:16

Yes. But- Quit

Speaker 2 1:16

the humping

Speaker 1:17

very unfortunate segue, but Josh Jacobs- Man man, in the news for all the wrong reasons. He arrested, what was it, five counts? I don't have the report in front of me. It was five counts of different versions of assault. Oh, man. Domestic assault. He was... He did make bail. He is out of prison. But it is a saga that looks like it's just beginning. Very disappointing to hear this, James. He's a- Very Crimson Tide. He is, I know he's one of your boys what was your reaction when you saw this?

Speaker 2 1:44

Yo, as my man Abdul Carter said, man, I thought this was AI. Bro, what are we doing over here, bro? What the... Yo, all I'm saying is, look, my man Josh Jacobs, I see these five counts, man, I'm disgusted Roger Goodell's gonna do us right, man. Slap him with a one game suspension. Bro. Fuck.

Speaker 2:02

Roger Goodell's like, "That'll teach him.

Speaker 2 2:04

You would think, like, when you read so many headlines, throughout the years we've been sports fans, these domestic violence, these assaults on women, now we get it. There are two sides of the story. We all, we understand. We've seen some go the wrong way for some women as well. But you would think, hey, Spence, this is common courtesy. Hey, my name is Josh Jacobs. I am a professional NFL player. I make a boatload of money, and everyone around me is going to throw their body at me, and who I like is who I like, and if I know if something goes down south, I am going down south and I am drowning in those waters. But Spence, you would think they would finally get this right. But it seems like they never do, Spence. But five counts, big dog? Five counts? That's crazy.

Speaker 2:57

Charges of battery, domestic abuse, criminal damage to property, disorderly conduct, and intimidation of a victim. One of them is a felony. The strangulation and suffocation charge he does have is a felony charge against him. The other four are misdemeanors. Oh, no. But that's a felony though, dog. That is... And let's... I know you were joking earlier, but we ain't looking at a one-game suspension if he is- Oh, yeah slapped with a felony. We're talking the Kareem Hunt minimum- Yeah I, I think for Josh Jacobs. Of course. Right off the bat.

Speaker 2 3:25

Right off the bat. I mean, and, and this would be me. I know. I, I heard it, too. I was like- My dog it's like- Sometimes usually- jiggling jingle bells or something we'll leave it

Speaker 3:33

in. We'll leave it in. My dog is making a guest appearance.

Speaker 2 3:36

Making a guest appearance. He's

Speaker 3:37

normally quiet, but,

Speaker 2 3:38

You know what's about to happen. Yes, if he even gets hit with the Kareem Hunt suspension, yada, yada, people are still going to pull up the tape and be like, "Damn." Imagining you were Calvin Ridley or Jamison Williams and you just bet 100 bucks and you got slapped with a bigger penalty than what Josh Jacobs is gonna get hit with. But Spence, man, it just don't ever make sense how this always happens. You would think you would know your circumstances. And look, I... Like I said, I get it. There are two sides to the story, and right now it looks like Josh Jacobs is getting slapped with it all. But hey.

Speaker 4:10

Yeah. This Josh Jacobs story really made me look at myself in the mirror, James. Because my first reaction, obviously horrible. Total. Terrible.

Speaker 2 4:19

Terrible.

Speaker 4:20

Disavow. We condemn domestic violence. That's a big deal. It's bad. We don't like it. But I gotta be honest. My first reaction was, "Okay, Josh Jacobs gonna get suspended for some games. That's gonna lower his fantasy draft value." "I might be able to get him after the fourth or fifth round now, after I've already stacked up a couple other running backs." Oh. "He might be sitting there as my flex."

Speaker 2 4:43

What the...

Speaker 4:43

I think that says more about me and how much of a fantasy football guy I am. But I did have to, like, take a step back. Like, "Spencer, there was a victim here, someone who was clearly abused on some level." Innocent until proven guilty, fair enough. But something went down here, and there is some kind of trouble here. And here I am only thinking about fantasy football. I know it's May, but damn it, I need football back now.

Speaker 2 5:07

Now. I need it now. Man, that sounds like the J.G. Wentworth commercial, bro.

Speaker 5:12

So it, it seems like we are going to have to wait and see what happens with Josh Jacobs. There hasn't been any word from the NFL yet. I, I'm sure there's gonna be an investigation. Oh, yeah. There... what historically happens with these things though is they let the legal process play out completely, then the NFL does their own investigation, and then the punishment comes out. So James, it's possible, I joke about his fantasy value, but the reality is that suspension that he gets, it could end up coming in the middle of the season. Now, it could also get punted all the way to the beginning of the 2027 season- Oh and that opens up the question of if you're the Packers, right? What do you do if you're the Packers here? Do you just cut bait right now and say, "You know what? His contract's coming up very soon. We don't even know if he's gonna be there for the 2027 season, and if he's there, they might get sus- he might be suspended for part of that season. S- Cut him now and save face from the public backlash." But at the same time, Josh Jacobs is a good player. Yeah. How would you handle this?

Speaker 2 6:13

Yeah. I, I'm with you, Spence. I wouldn't know because, again, you mentioned it, when is all this gonna get slapped on him? Is, hit, like you mentioned, he hopes it's this year. Let it be week one, get it over with, and then be healthy for the end of the '26 season. But if this gets played out, stretched out so long with, these court hearings and the NFL does the suspending, if he gets suspended most of the '27 season and then gets cut, mind you, Spence, Josh Jacobs there, ever since, there's only two players that have more touchdowns than him. And that's Josh Allen and Derrick Henry. He is a very good player, ever since coming out of Alabama and being with the Raiders and now a Packer. What do you do, Spence? You know, l- you could be, like for example, you could be like Kevin Hart, man, who's getting all the backlash from his roast, and you could just say, "Hey man, you know it was gonna happen. I didn't like it, but it is what it is." But- It's gonna happen. Do the Packers just say hey look, this guy has been a great player for us on the field. He had one bad incident. Are we gonna take backlash? Yeah, but our goal..." And you're an owner. You wanna win the Super Bowl, damn it. Well- You wanna keep Josh Jacobs

Speaker 7:18

I don't want that to be a freezing cold take for you to be like, "It was just one bad inci- incident" when we don't know- I know what has happened here. That could be the biggest foot in your mouth moment if some bad details come out. But I get what you're saying. This is what I would say. If I'm the Packers, you're in a position where you do have to let this whole thing play out because despite many fans of the Packers advocating for them to address running back depth in the off-season this year, they didn't really do that. After Josh Jacobs, their depth chart currently is Chris Brooks, Pierre Strong- and MarShawn Lloyd. That's a bunch of Jags right there. They might be able to string together some success and collectively run for, like 1,100 yards as a unit, but you're not getting the Josh Jacobs level of production in the receiving game- his ability to find the end zone. There's a huge gap between Josh Jacobs and their backups. I think you do have to play it out. But I'll say this. You mentioned it, Josh Jacobs, he better hope that he either gets the suspension sooner than later or he gets it all completely acquitted and he's fine because that 2027 season is gonna loom big for him. He's gonna be getting pretty close to the end of his days, uh, when it comes to his running back age, as well as the contract. And look, a- as good as he is, if he's got a big cloud hanging over him, does a team really wanna continue to pay him all that much? Yeah. I would say probably not.

Speaker 2 8:41

I don't know, man. And of course, in a division that we, think hey, the Bears are gonna be good, we hope the Vikings are gonna be good with Kyler Murray, and then bounce back for the Lions, you're gonna need as many games as you want on the field, so Josh Jacobs, You better be innocent, big dog, 'cause man- Well

Speaker 8:57

said. Well said. All right, James. All right. You wanna go back and forth? 'Cause I got two more topics for you,

Speaker 2 9:02

Okay, yeah, we'll go back and forth. We'll do one by one. All right. You go

Speaker 9:05

ahead.

Speaker 2 9:05

All right, Spence. College football seems like it's been picking up some steam lately. Hey, commissioner of the SEC came out and said start of 2027 season there'll be no more cupcake weekends, games for the SEC. And if you don't know, fans, that is the week before the rival games. Alabama plays Chattanooga, freaking Georgia plays Charlotte, Auburn will play the East Mississippi Valley. Those games will be eliminated. They'll be playing tougher games. Spence, how do we feel about the SEC eliminating cupcake weekend?

Speaker 9:34

Oh, I think the Big 10 is living rent-free- in Greg Sankey's head with this one. He said, "All right. We are going to have extremely difficult games from beginning to end. Every single game's gonna matter. Nope strength of schedule bug against the SEC. Nope, we are going to be in it to the very end. From the beginning to the end, it's gonna be a bloodbath." Um- And

Speaker 2 9:56

everyone's gonna be 10 and two.

Speaker 9:58

And I l- I, look, as a college football fan, I love that. We don't wanna see 70 to three scores on a Saturday slate of games. Like- Nope no one wants to see that. That's always a bummer that you can't flip to that game. Like-

Speaker 2 10:10

Correct

Speaker 10:10

less of those will always be good. So if this equates to them playing more teams like, like a mid-tier, like Big 12 team like my Cougars, hey, I'm all for that. I would love- to get some Texas A&M or University of Texas games versus the Cougs. I would love a chance.

Speaker 2 10:28

Y'all

Speaker 10:28

not, y'all- I would love a chance to get an upset there.

Speaker 2 10:30

Y'all not trying to get worked, are y'all?

Speaker 10:32

Ah,

Speaker 2 10:32

I mean- Try and get- Try and get worked? Yeah. Hey- You want me to do the basketball

Speaker 10:35

team? I believe in Coach Fritz.

Speaker 2 10:37

Hey, man, I believe in him too. No, I'm with you, man. I like the removing that at the end of the season because it was ridiculous. You got big games going on in all the other conferences, then you get like this cupcake before rivalry week. If anything, if you're gonna get rid of cupcake weekend at the end of the season, great. If not, hey, man, move it to week two. Nobody gives a crap about that. But I'm with you, man. Happy enough, 'cause guess what? Nobody can say crap now about the SEC, even though, man, Big 10's dominated the last three years. That's just a

Speaker 11:04

fact. Oh, yeah. Big, this is 100% because of the Big 10's success in recent years. There's no other reason for them to do this now than the fact that the Big 10 has supplied the last three national championships, and Greg Sankey's in his feelings about it.

Speaker 2 11:17

Oh, yeah. All right, Spence, what you got for me?

Speaker 11:19

All right, James the Western Conference playoffs going on right now, the Western Conference finals, the Thunder took a 3-2 series lead. And we're not gonna jump into the game that much. We're gonna wait for that series to wrap up, and then we'll give a full breakdown of that and a preview for the next series. But I wanna highlight one aspect, James. Victor Wembanyama ducking out on the media.

Speaker 2 11:40

Oh,

Speaker 11:41

man. I don't know.

Speaker 2 11:42

That

Speaker 11:42

What do you think about that, James?

Speaker 2 11:43

typical American basketball player move. Whoa, whoa. Come on, Victor Wembanyama.

Speaker 11:48

Hang on.

Speaker 2 11:49

Stop

Speaker 11:49

being- Wemby is not American, sir.

Speaker 2 11:51

I know he's not American. But that's what American basketball players do. And we already crap, they already crap on us all the time about our effort and our values in basketball as Americans. Don't pull that American crap on us, Victor. You stand up, sit down, be taller than everyone else at 7'6", and answer those questions, man. But hey, at the end of the day, the really, the number one question that I wish they would've, asked SGA, "Hey, man, how do you feel about dropping 32 points on less than eight made shots, bro? That's what I wanna know, brother. 'Cause you made 16 free throws, but l- not a lot of shots. What's going on, brother?" Yeah. That's the question I wish they would ask. But yes, Victor, please sit at that stand. We ridicule all the NFL players that don't do it. Basketball, I ain't gonna lie, Spence, I don't think I've ever seen an MLB- Post-game conference.

Speaker 12:42

They're bigger in the playoffs for sure. Okay. Oh, for sure. In the regular season they ask them questions outside their locker, kinda like they do in the NFL, but it's nowhere near as big of a pomp and circumstance as they do- in the NBA and the NFL.

Speaker 2 12:52

I was like, damn. I was thinking about it, like I just don't recall them ever... Hey, man, picture of the Astros on the stand right now.

Speaker 12:59

Yeah. Well, no, it's... Well, it- it's funny, one of the most iconic moments for for me during the Astros golden era was after the 2019 World Series when Gerrit Cole was being interviewed outside of his locker after the Astros lost game seven, and they didn't use him out of the bullpen. I know that. And he was wearing his agent's hat. He'd already basically t- He was sending a clear message through the media like, "Hey, I moved on. My contract's up. My manager didn't use me in the biggest moment of the season, and now we lost game seven because of it. I'm out. Yeah, I'm wearing my Scott Boras hat. I'm out." So- Yeah they do press conferences in the MLB, they're just, they're not as big of a deal as they are in the MLB, and that's because the personalities are bigger in the NFL and the NBA. No one cares about our baseball players. I'm sorry. People always... I always hate when the baseball fans try to crap on the NBA. You can have your TV ratings. This is 2026. People don't watch things on TV exclusively anymore. People get most of their information, they watch most of their content on s- regarding sports through social media clips. And-

Speaker 2 14:01

Right

Speaker 14:02

guess what sports have way more following than baseball? Football and basketball. Basketball. And it's really not even close. Shohei Gil Jesus Alexander has no aura, and he's got way more followers on Instagram than Aaron Judge.

Speaker 2 14:15

Correct. Yeah.

Speaker 14:16

Way more. Yeah. Ohtani, he doesn't count 'cause he's a global superstar, but even then- He's global he pales in comparison to LeBron James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant. These guys are gonna have huge followings 'cause they're such iconic superstars in the NBA, but the MLB doesn't have that. So that's why press conferences are a bigger deal in the NBA. But- But yeah, I don't know. Wimpy skipping out on the media there- We- seems a little soft, especially- Yeah It'd been one thing if he had bu- he'd put it all out there, he had gotten banged up and injured, and they barely lost, and he skipped out on media. Nah, he laid a dud in game five and skipped out on the media- 'cause he was pouting like a little baby, little baby Frenchman.

Speaker 2 14:52

He was a pout-pout fish. Mother, get your ass in the game, man. You better play game six, man. I got you, Spurs, in seven. It was hot. Oh, man. All right, Spence, man, moving around, talking about people that boiling my blood. New head coach Lane Kiffin, LSU Tigers. He, my man's been talking and dogging on Ole Miss lately, talking about they're racist, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Lane Kiffin come out, man, and said Ole Miss woulda made the national title game versus Indiana if he woulda been coaching the CFP. Spence, what are your thoughts on that?

Speaker 15:27

If my aunt had a pecker, she'd be my uncle. That's really all I got to say on that one, James. That's about it.

Speaker 2 15:34

Yo, all I gotta say to this Lane Kiffin For a guy who's never won a playoff game, you sit back and shut up, man. Did think you were gonna do that? No, big dog. Dude- don't talk like that. I get- 'Cause you, you finally made a playoff appearance, but for you to walk out to what, do some recruiting pitch, you would've sold a bigger story if you would've coached your team to the title game. Be like John Summerman, the Florida head coach. He was coaching Tulane in the playoff game, and then he was still working another job with Florida. Yeah. So Lane Kiffin, this is a bad look on you. And you know what? I'm not gonna lie, Lane Kiffin's stock value for me, I loved him in Alabama, loved him at Ole Miss, but he is tanking in my world, and I hope LSU goes 7 and 5.

Speaker 16:17

Yeah. I, this is my thing. Is this gonna be the entire Lane Kiffin LSU era is just a bunch of off-the-field nonsense, like him just yapping all the time. I know he always had a, has always had a big mouth. Right. He always has had that, that's his thing. That's what he's known for. So I get that, and I knew it was gonna be even more amplified with LSU, but man, we haven't even played spring ball yet. We haven't even gotten to spring ball, and he's always constantly in the headlines already. Your tenure with LSU starts off with controversy. You're always welcoming controversy. You better win.

Speaker 2 16:52

You gotta win.

Speaker 16:52

Period. Yeah. If you don't win, dude... and here's the thing, I, you talked about how your stock in him is. I like him as a person. I think he's hilarious, but- Dude, I've never thought he was a good coach. Literally- Right except for last year with Ole Miss, and even then, you mentioned it, he wasn't with them in the playoffs. So I don't know how much I really want to give him credit, but he really has not had a lot of success anywhere he's gone. No. It was a failure at USC. It was a failure at Tennessee. Yeah, he rehabilitated his image- Yeah a bit with the Crimson Tide and, you know- Yeah did some good things with Ole Miss, and they were ready to build him a statue, but they don't want to build him a statue no more the way he left and didn't win anything with them.

Speaker 2 17:31

Yeah. I, yeah.

Speaker 17:31

I'm sick of the guy, honestly. Yeah. I like him, but I'm also sick of him.

Speaker 2 17:35

Yeah, same. It's weird. I know. And you, yeah. Yeah. So I'm with you there on this one, man. Yeah. Come on, Lane Kiffin, man. Get your act together. Quit talking about your ex-girlfriend, bro. Time to move forward, man. Nobody talks about the past.

Speaker 17:45

All right, James, my last one for our No Huddle episode. We've, we have dreaded this idea all NBA season. We have joked about it. We've mentioned it being a possibility, but today we got our first, I'm not gonna call it news leak, but it was from a reputable name, Jake Fischer, very reputable NBA reporter.

Speaker 2 18:04

Yeah.

Speaker 18:05

Reported today that the Thunder, still playing by the way, they are one game away from the NBA finals, that they are going to be interested in trading up into the top five of the 2026 draft with their eyes on Caleb Wilson from North Carolina. James, the nightmare- Oh, no scenario is upon us

Speaker 2 18:26

Dude, if they do this, at least we know one thing for sure. One, it's gonna piss us off because it's like they c- we always joke, they can't keep doing this. They

Speaker 18:35

Can't get away with it.

Speaker 2 18:37

Right. But the only thing I know out of this is that it does guarantee us one thing at least. Either Chet or Jalen Williams is out the building.

Speaker 18:45

Got to be.

Speaker 2 18:46

Got to be out the build- they're already getting that price hike from 6 or 13 million they're making to 41 and 46, whatever it was. They're like a reptile. W- they got to shed some skin, but they're still deadly. And we hope maybe Caleb Wilson's a bust, and then maybe we get some parity. Hey, we start leveling out the playing field after one of the two guys leave. But I even saw the report saying that they would trade their two first round picks to trade up and maybe draft Cameron Boozer, and I'm like, oh my gosh. They can't keep doing this. I hope it doesn't happen. That's all I'm saying. Nothing towards that, but it would be a fun, exciting draft night, and that's why, guess what? That's why I know you are, either we are Spurs fans or Knicks fans. Don't care what happens, just no Thunder.

Speaker 19:27

Oh, yeah. I would love for it to be the Knicks.

Speaker 2 19:28

And I hate to say, yeah, if the Knicks win the finals, Empire State Building, be prepared to fall down.

Speaker 19:34

It's

Speaker 2 19:34

coming down. Statue of Liberty, you coming down, bro.

Speaker 19:36

Yeah. Now, just looking at the Thunder's contracts just looking at them at a glance, it looks like they, obviously you named it, SGA, Chet, Jalen Williams, huge cap hits. But they could also still be able to fit some more guys in because they got Isaiah Hartenstein making 28 and a half million. They've got Alex Caruso just under 20 million, Lu Dort at about 18 million. So they can trade some of those pieces away. They have so many guards. You don't, you can't convince me that you need both- Caruso and Lu Dort. You can trade one of them. I really believe Jalen Williams, I think honestly might be better at the center than Isaiah Hartenstein. I think the Thunder are way more deadly whenever he's on the court. I don't know if the numbers back that up, but either way, I, Hartenstein's a good player, but I think he's replaceable on a cheaper contract, especially if you trade up into the top five. Yeah, that's gonna be a high salary, but dude that's a lot more affordable when it comes to the apron, Correct and that. So unfortunately, I don't think they'd have to immediately shed Chet or J-Dub To fit a new top five pick in there. I think they could get away cutting off some fat at the margins.

Speaker 2 20:42

Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. My fault, and I guess I should have mentioned it. Maybe not if they make the trade, Jaylen and Chet leave this year,

Speaker 20:49

but like- You- and you're saying eventually

Speaker 2 20:50

eventually, like- Okay.

Speaker 20:52

One of them's gotta go. Yeah, four years after the top five pick hits free agency, or is about to hit free agency. Right? They'll have to get rid of somebody, and they'll have racked up four straight championships by then.

Speaker 2 21:01

Yeah, it's like, a little too late for that, guys.

Speaker 21:03

Yeah. Oh man, it, it's scary hours, but if the OKC Thunder trade up into the top five and they add someone from this class to this already stacked team, who, by the way, you know their cheapest contract is AJ Mitchell, according to Spotrac, and AJ Mitchell has been arguably their third or fourth best player this postseason. He's been sensational for them.

Speaker 2 21:25

Definitely. Oh, gosh. All right, Spence, let me wrap this up. Scary

Speaker 21:29

hours.

Speaker 2 21:29

Scary hours. All right, wrapping this up, Spence. Now, hey, I found this tweet, man. You gotta react to this, man. So it was a top 10 players with the most to prove in 2026 for the NFL. Hmm. And Cowshi, Cowshi Football. They got the blue check, they're- Cowshi is very popular. Okay. Hey, they're... Hey man, they're certified. Cowshi made their list up of the top 10 players needing to prove themselves. So here we go. Number one, your guy, C.J. Stroud. Definitely. Number two, Caleb Williams. Number three, Jalen Hurts. Number four, Pat Mahomes. Number five, Trevor Lawrence. Number six, Jayden Daniels. Number seven, Brock Purdy. Number eight, Aaron Rodgers. Number nine, Marvin Harrison Jr. And then number 10, Sam Darnold. Spence Yo, are we gonna bash Cowsey for this type of list? What are your thoughts, man?

Speaker 22:22

There was a lot of names on there I thought were very obvious. There's some other ones that I'm like, really? I'm gonna need you... i'm gonna need them to explain what Aaron Rodgers has to prove in his age 44 season. And what does Sam Darnold need to prove after he won the damn Super Bowl?

Speaker 2 22:38

Those are the first two I saw and I was like, okay, right out the gate, I'm okay with this. Other than that, I was okay with most of this list. I'm not throwing Pat Mahomes under here. That's a little insane. That, that's

Speaker 22:48

stupid. What does he need to

Speaker 2 22:48

prove? What does he... Yeah. This is, these are stupid. We call him the GOAT. What does he need to prove? What the- Yeah fuck are we doing? I don't like Jalen Hurts at number three, not 'cause of a bias Eagles thing, but at least number three's a bit high after you just won the Super Bowl MVP two years ago. That, that's just my logical thing. Other than that, I like pretty much everyone on here. Still, where's Lamar Jackson? Where's Josh Allen? Where's some of these other guys, Spence? I'm with you, man. But yeah no, no Pat Mahomes, no Aaron Rodgers, no Sam Darnold. Everyone else I kinda like on this list. Jayden Daniels I could drop a little bit down. Hey, phenomenal first year, injury-prone the next year. I'm okay with dropping him down, but definitely- maybe Brock Purdy as well. Maybe Brock Purdy can stay in that mid-tier, but everyone else I like on this list.

Speaker 23:35

I got a name that's not on that list that should've been on there. And correct me- oh if I miss this name.

Speaker 2 23:39

Oh, say my guy. Say my guy.

Speaker 23:41

I'm gonna say Cam Ward.

Speaker 2 23:42

Oh, wow.

Speaker 23:43

Why isn't he on the most to prove? He's the number one overall pick, and looked awful his rookie year. Oh. Very little flashes of brilliance.

Speaker 2 23:50

Ooh.

Speaker 23:50

New coach- Yeah new offensive coordinator, new weapons. I think he's got a ton to prove this year.

Speaker 2 23:56

I'm still gonna give him a little grace with the new regime and all. But you know my guy who should've been on this list. His name, the if man, the if superhero, Justin Herbert. Jo

Speaker 24:06

burrow.

Speaker 2 24:07

Herbert is in this building. Justin Herbert should be on this list. He should be on this list every freaking day till he wins something. I'm- Whatever I don't know what bet I'm gonna do this year. I put the beard up last year. I don't know if I'm gonna do it this year. I gotta do something different for my man Justin Herbert, just to prove my point that I'm always undefeated. I'm LaVar Ball, never lost when it comes to Justin Herbert.

Speaker 24:30

Oh man, I want football so bad. I want

Speaker 2 24:33

football so bad. We're getting there. We got some OTAs, man. Hey, and just real quick I saw some clips from some OTAs earlier. I don't know how I feel, man, about my man Jalen Hurts rocking just the mustache only. He's looking like one of those old army sergeant Black guys. I get that's who he was and all, but I don't know if I like it. But I will say, hey, I'll say it now. May 28th, Jalen Hurts, you win a Super Bowl this year, I'll shave my beard and rock that mustache look. Do it for me. Do it for the Eagles. Do it for me, man.

Speaker 25:02

Hey-

Speaker 2 25:03

So I prove that I am true to my word.

Speaker 25:06

Hey, it's an even number season. That should equate to to Jalen Hurts at least making a Super Bowl appearance, right?

Speaker 2 25:12

I don't, you gotta think about it. He made it to Super Bowl LVII, made it to LII. LXI.

Speaker 25:18

LXI,

Speaker 2 25:19

so there you go. Hey, man, LXI.

Speaker 25:22

I'm not a math guy, but I kinda am. I don't know.

Speaker 2 25:26

Hey, Wendy

Speaker 25:27

Hey, I learned early on in grade school that you only need two points in a graph in order to make a chart. Just saying.

Speaker 2 25:34

Just saying.

Speaker 25:35

Just saying.

Speaker 2 25:35

Not an algebra pro, but just saying.

Speaker 25:37

All right, well that was a fun episode. It was, man. We will be back on next week. We will be previewing the NBA finals. That's gonna be a good time. We'll catch you up on the Josh Jacobs news, and we will do some more no huddling. By then we are getting close to football season, y'all. But-

Speaker 2 25:54

Getting close, man.

Speaker 25:55

Yeah. Get us on all our socials. TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, get us on Apple, Spotify. Leave a five star review if you're catching us there. We appreciate the love and all the support. For James, I'm Spencer. We'll see you next time on Big Game Energy. Yeah. Later.

Speaker 2 26:10

My man Josh Jacobs was listening to Fight Night by Migos. Hit them with a left, hit them with a right.

Speaker 26:16

That is definitely gonna-
