Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, well, I mean.

Speaker 3:

The shade is real. Right here, the shade is real. Here the shade is real.

Speaker 2:

I can let y'all talk more than me.

Speaker 3:

At least I get one. You got something, I get my one.

Speaker 5:

They don't go together. Red and rings.

Speaker 2:

Oh wow. He's starting kind of early. At the end of the day. I've been saying it like I said who like it like it, who don't like it don't like it. Onky is not. And I've been saying that I mean you know, I said Onky.

Speaker 3:

I don't care what you say that's what I say.

Speaker 2:

I mean but we'll get into that a little later, I mean let's go right quick, man.

Speaker 3:

Okay, we can start off, get the other sports out of the way before we really get to our featured guests. We had the Bankers League tournament, the golf tournament. You had Family Guardian Wins the second annual Bankers League golf tournament. I see Jay showing off his big trophy at the BYFFL.

Speaker 2:

I wonder if he played? No man, he had to play.

Speaker 1:

Or he sprinkled some dirt on his head.

Speaker 3:

Then you had Global Sun Integration Management came second. Shout out to James Clark. That's his squad. But shout out to the Bankers League. I know they had a basketball letter. They were a Matrix and I'm losing the championship. Yeah, that's cool.

Speaker 2:

And then yeah, big God you had to win again. We ran there like red and then undefeated, and then losing championship. Oh, boy.

Speaker 3:

So they won red. We won red. I know I would fear to lose.

Speaker 3:

You know being undefeated in the championship game uh well, the second, the second game I mean correction, the first game. We had the. We had the phoenix fire. The phoenix fire went against the e. The Eagles won 13-0. You had Tasha, she went five for 16, 36 yards. Simona, two catches for 12 yards and the Eagles Trelly, she went three for nine, 50 yards. Tavi, the black mamba, four runs, 65 yards and you had the MVP, ty Tiger Pulse, another guest of the show.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah, she had two TD runs and then you had Shea. I'm glad the pressure was coming for tasha. I think what they did him wrong when tasha got injured. This is my opinion. When tasha got injured and the other quarterback to yasti, she started to move the ball. There was nine, 13 to zero and then they bring tasha back in tasha they should keep that show.

Speaker 2:

But I mean, well, we, we know, I mean that's, that's. We've been talking about this. I don't ever think it's wise to be subbing in and out QBs like that. I mean let them get the flow for the game and let them go with it. I mean, who played the full game for Predators Quarterback?

Speaker 4:

Winton.

Speaker 2:

Winton, see that. Neville had one, we had one, yeah, but that was a trick play kind of thing. You know what I mean. I'm saying that to say I mean you know when time to win the big dance? I mean you can experiment during the season when time to win the big dance you got to go with. You know, quarterback is a funny position, man Go with what you know.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, go with what you sure about.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but anyhow, let's go, we can move on to the second game. Okay, well, the formality is out the way this show can be quick it can be quick and controversial because I can break character.

Speaker 3:

Today I say it's a reckless stuff today, so I got you first, coach Rodley, to Phil Jackson.

Speaker 2:

So you're saying, put the lady and kids to bed. It's just about to be a show.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, and light the fireplace Because it could be on fire. But let's start off first.

Speaker 2:

Rodney, I got you, rodney. My fireplace is kind of high, so that's only how blue flames, not red, touché.

Speaker 3:

So I got to ask Rodney first and I got to ask you, mr Animal, the animal in one word describe this season for y'all.

Speaker 4:

Oh boy Epic, it was epic Family we play football.

Speaker 3:

Okay.

Speaker 4:

I said it to the guys during the season and we set out to go man, we brought Animal and the older guys and stuff like that. They talking about us, man.

Speaker 3:

So why, when you say older guys stuff like that, they talking about let's plan.

Speaker 4:

So why when you say older guys, you put up the hyphenated fingers yeah the older guys. I know what you're talking about.

Speaker 3:

I ain't saying the old, let me say the veterans, let me say the veterans, the veterans said you know they ain't getting no younger.

Speaker 4:

You know what I mean. But it was special. But it was special this year was special for them and the desire was, of course, to get them back into the chip and especially having the previous two years, what happened and stuff like that. So it was really a joy to get them back.

Speaker 5:

Okay, anima you. Yeah me, see, I don't share nothing. Listen to me. This time around was great for me, man, I ain't lying. It was real memorable. And you know, teeth is followed with tongue. So within our group we did not all perfect, we did not all you know dazzling we had some fights in the group now.

Speaker 2:

You got to realize now, one team had a perfect. Thank God, y'all didn't had a perfect. Thank God y'all didn't have a perfect.

Speaker 5:

You didn't want that kind of perfect.

Speaker 1:

You didn't want that kind of perfect.

Speaker 5:

We followed Matrix. We followed a couple of times with each other, but we get it right in the end. You know, I tell the truth. We had a lot of lashes, we had a lot of ups and downs and by golly, when we get beat, that 35, though I don't remember that was- a wake-up call.

Speaker 1:

That was a wake-up call. Man, that was a wake-up call.

Speaker 5:

We never get beat like that Rod in our life, never, I never had a beating like that on a predator team in my life.

Speaker 4:

I didn't tell anybody, I was always beating, I think. Well, the Cayman beat us one time in a tournament, something like that, but the tournament's already coming.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, the tournament is a tournament. Yeah, because I mean you're in that full strength.

Speaker 4:

Regular season game. That was the worst regular season game loss we've ever had Matrix.

Speaker 5:

I ain't sleeping a when I guess them saying some stuff, they put my face up, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, when they put a target over you, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3:

They can't say it.

Speaker 1:

In your cunning. Oh, listen to me.

Speaker 3:

They know what that means.

Speaker 1:

Yeah boy, I'm telling you.

Speaker 5:

Boy, I couldn't sleep. I bleed this game and that hurt. So we had to do some moving around some differences. So we had to do some moving around some differences.

Speaker 3:

Even like that. I know that feeling all too well. Remember when we were 6-0 with the Lions a year and we lost to the Avengers Championship but y'all beat us mostly 40-0. You remember that. You remember that, jax, because at practice I was cursing everybody out because by dudes clowning dudes will be after the game we just get that voice off. You all be there chilling, but pride is the nearest thing man.

Speaker 5:

Pride and heart, I must say, coach Ross, he took the bull by the horn and he said hey, I don't know how you all feel, but I feel stink. He put it on himself. He said put it on me what I'm gonna do. It's never being done. I am not going to sleep until I have studied every move Red Dog makes. And he did that, you know. He went to the drawing board and he re-acted and replayed everything Matrix.

Speaker 2:

That's what a coach does. You know what?

Speaker 3:

I mean A coach, not a management or equipment manager.

Speaker 2:

Oh, wow, hey, mind your own business. I tell you what.

Speaker 5:

My franchise.

Speaker 3:

That's what it is Especially Chesh, like I call it, especially Javar.

Speaker 2:

He's taught the most shit and used the equipment manager.

Speaker 3:

You can't win a game in the UB. Let me call you this, especially Chavar. He's taught the most shit and used the equipment manager. You can't win a game in the youth league. Let me stop. Oh goodness, you're going to fire today.

Speaker 1:

Well, I mean speaking of the youth league, I mean.

Speaker 2:

I heard you had a little controversy out there. What's going on?

Speaker 3:

with that man. That's the youth league man. I haven't controversy in the youth league engineering together, so I'm going to talk about that Okay cool, so anyway.

Speaker 2:

So so you know. I guess you guys can talk about it if you want. Notice we ain't doing no stats, you know, because we have the champs.

Speaker 3:

Here it starts from moderate now you know, what credit on their name? Other people ain't getting none.

Speaker 2:

Yep, yep. So seeing that we ain't have no stats, I mean, can y'all give us a brief summary of the game and how you guys saw it went? You know what I?

Speaker 4:

mean From, I mean from start to finish. I often say that first play out the gate, we intentionally kicked the ball out the box. It'd be no shame to the game. We wanted to give them the ball at the position we did. But that first play at the gate, that was so important Animal and he could tell you we practiced this all week. Yep, when you see it, we call it. And sure enough, that first play, in my opinion that shake him. Yeah, that shake him, because no team had done it all year. Whenever they do all that motion and stuff like that, everybody frozen, nobody move. It's all right, okay, we capitalize on that.

Speaker 4:

So once we start doing that and we say okay, you know, then you slap somebody, okay, wait.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I'm alone for that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4:

So you know, for us, I studied them, I put it on paper. I say listen, guys, when you see this, this is what's happening, when you see this, this is what's happening. He did, he did and yeah, so from the first drive, man, I mean, we stopped them, if you remember, four and out In the red zone. They went four and out.

Speaker 1:

Very quickly.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, but the idea was, if you shake them early and you get them off their rockers.

Speaker 2:

You got to get the momentum.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, you got to get the momentum going. Unfortunately, we had one play where, on our offense, we played something wrong. Anyway, long and short is they capitalized. They scored on the next play, but we didn't.

Speaker 3:

Who scored? It was a run pass, it was a, it was a, it was.

Speaker 4:

We, Ramon, did the wrong route. Yeah, it was.

Speaker 2:

we, ramon, did the wrong route yeah it was a fluke and, and, and yeah he just Fluke play.

Speaker 4:

And they came back on defense. And they came back and yeah.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, ray, ray, ray jumped, Ray jumped for the the, the jumped the ball and he went in for, basically for the blitz, when he wasn't supposed to.

Speaker 2:

Hold on Ray's the corner.

Speaker 5:

Roy's the corner.

Speaker 2:

Roy is the corner. Yeah, but he got hard. That's the one who's better.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, they pick on him and he stand up Every time.

Speaker 2:

Every time he stand up, I think one time, I think, he had to come out the game because he had something.

Speaker 5:

He fall real hard, yeah.

Speaker 2:

And he came back like oh, that was a big play breaker.

Speaker 5:

I wasn yeah, he was straight down. Yeah, man, but, like Rod said, matrix, we wanted to set the tone and Rod gives every one of us our assignment and he gave us assignment by being Red Dog.

Speaker 3:

Boy, hold on, let me interrupt. And that's that championship mentality boy. Yeah, man, a lot of those things got that boy.

Speaker 5:

I told them, if this certain play comes up first, like they always do, they're very predictable, very predictable, and they do not change their ways. So I said if this play comes up where Smalley comes around running like he is, mr Fast, so everyone can know that Smalley is tech.

Speaker 2:

Tech, that's his nickname.

Speaker 5:

Tech. I say, well, let the fat boy get jacked. You know, Jacked and I said it. And, man, when I bust through and snatch his flag, I say, well, y'all know what to do now. You know man, come on, Because we big, they think we can't run Fox man. When I run.

Speaker 3:

I mean, I can't run like that when I took his flying matrix.

Speaker 5:

I hold it in there. I watch Honky face drop to the ground like what is this?

Speaker 3:

What's going on and?

Speaker 5:

I tell him it's just the beginning, so let me ask a question.

Speaker 2:

During the game, I mean, first of all, I thought, well, like I always say, I believe in playing football the way it should be played. So, for one, they got the ball in a good position because you guys did a very good job of keeping the ball away from AP and Molly those in the back. So every time you're on the point you're kicking out of bounds which was an awesome game plan, I mean, you know, because they can make plays there too, especially with AP and Molly in the back. There. They go out in good position, good field position, they go out in the red zone. I thought they should have kicked that. What's your thoughts on that, instead of going for it on the court?

Speaker 4:

Again, if it was me, because it's early in the game, I don't know how the rest of the game is going to go, and I have a decent kicker. I'm going to try to kick it.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 4:

All right. Yeah, but again you got to know who you're playing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can roll the dice. I'm glad you rolled the dice.

Speaker 2:

I agree, I and I believe in not taking points off the board Right, and I said at the comeback to ask the next question, I know later on in the game I think you guys were up right before they were about to make their drive on the last drive.

Speaker 4:

The last drive.

Speaker 2:

yeah, you guys ran the ball three times and then tried to kick Right. What was your strategy with that one? Because I mean, I think me personally I saw where you guys had Champ on what's his name? Bill or?

Speaker 4:

Megatron Right, so we had.

Speaker 2:

He's on the right side. Yeah, we had both of them.

Speaker 4:

We had Megatron on the left and Charles was on the right and Javon was in the yeah well, on the right hand side, I felt y'all had the advantage on that. I did. I audible something and Wyndon waved me off. I was like okay, you must know what you're doing yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4:

And in retrospect it looked better, because what he wanted to do was he didn't want to have a costly turnover and we did try to set up a couple of runs. And we saw the film afterwards and we was like boy a couple of blocks here and there we could have punched it in.

Speaker 2:

Nevertheless, we made the remember we went for a field goal attempt. Yeah well, I was saying that because where he had to kick the ball from that was kind of rough because I think it was a mud patch.

Speaker 1:

It was yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

It's funny because I saw he kept trying to see if he could get a good grip on it, stuff like that.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, I mean, he made the attempt. Unfortunately it got blocked and boy thank God, because the fellow was dead. He was in position, he could have made a play on a blocked field goal.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I saw he tried to run it back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah but the ball dropped.

Speaker 4:

But no man, like I say, but that was a strategy, and again, with a field goal attempt, now you force them in a position where they have to get a touchdown if they were to get the ball back. But they did get the ball back and they went upfield. If you remember, they had a big catch. Cam had a big catch on their sideline. Yeah, that was a huge catch and that was inside two minutes.

Speaker 5:

And so, of course, at this point I'm like, oh my god, yeah, we closed that down after that. Yeah, enough of that. Well, right after that, because you remember, right after that, that's when he he threw it.

Speaker 2:

He threw it to, he threw it to Tech, he gave no, he didn't throw it to Tech, he threw it to Never and he gave Tech a look he gave Tech a look and the Wiley veterans saw it.

Speaker 4:

So what does he saw that man.

Speaker 2:

No, I was watching a play and I said to the guys on the sideline I saw when he gave Tech a nod and well, Neville was squared up. Yes, he was. And then, after when he gave Tech a nod, I watched Neville drop back and get into a bail position and I'm like boy, if he threw this, it's a pick. And exactly what happened. You have to see that, as a quarterback, there's no way in the world. Yeah, he was up one of them a period, but then you got to really realize you've ended up bailed position so you can't throw a goal, no more. I don't care how fast Tech is.

Speaker 5:

But Matrix, you got all these QBs. Don't have the IQ like some of you guys have.

Speaker 2:

What was?

Speaker 3:

the down and distance though.

Speaker 4:

No it was second, second down.

Speaker 3:

It was under two minutes.

Speaker 5:

Me personally, I mean, I can be real.

Speaker 2:

Me personally. I live and die with the leg of my kicker. I was in run the ball three times. It was one point man, yeah, one, one point. Man, yeah, one point. I run the ball three times, hopefully one of them break and then top it off. You get Marley in the backfield. You know he makes stuff happen. You know you have Tech who's come around on the Jets. I agree, sorry to say. If you stop the Jets, we won for Tech. You also have to stop that again. You all got to show.

Speaker 5:

You understand what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:

But understand what I'm saying. No Cardinal, no disrespect to Animal. Yeah, All right, it's later in the game. Animal probably already winned it. I ain't trying that again Now. You got to show me you can make it Now. If you make it, hats off. Yeah, you understand. At least a variation of it. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying, like, my thing is, at the end of the day, you just got to show me you can make it again, because my thing I always believe my nine better than yours.

Speaker 5:

My matrix. I carry no load when you say that. But Ben didn't was not. But if you see the torture these fellas was doing to everyone in the league and the Tompkins you know these fellas was too. They believed they was there. They never made nothing in their life, in their career. So Wendit for me was not even in. That wasn't in my mind. Every time I look at Honky, whatever they call him Honky or white boy or whatever, honky, whatever.

Speaker 3:

Just don't call him another.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, whatever, whatever kind of white person they call a honky fella, he had no time to throw a ball and me and Keno was on him every snap. He was throwing off his back leg to pieces, running away from us, and that's what you need in the game. That's why when I was on Xananas and I say you need hot, I really mean you need hot.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I saw the interview.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, man you need hot. He gave Xananas the interview before us.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

No, no, no, no, no we got the interview first.

Speaker 2:

Thank you very much. Xananas was second. Sorry, Xavnas, but these my boys. Exclusive boy we got exclusive over here, yeah, he got that one.

Speaker 5:

All I say make sure I got to leave all on the field. You told me that, though.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 5:

Right before the game, kalma pull in the gate and I tell him I say Kalma, I ain't coming with no bread on this game. I'm leaving everything in this game Under the last drive I was on it.

Speaker 3:

I just realized this is the first time you ever been early to a game too. We was live streaming and you beat me out there.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah. My question to you is Animal. I mean, did you drink before the game?

Speaker 5:

Did I drink?

Speaker 2:

Before the game All right, hot bass All right hot bass. All, All right hot bass, all right.

Speaker 5:

Hot bass, all bass, is the way to go. That's my extra energy. I can't help it.

Speaker 3:

I had some bass. Okay, last question what was your mentality going into the season? How did it change going into the postseason?

Speaker 4:

Well, going into the regular season, of course, hey, listen, penn and Breeland, all of that, that's neither here nor there. The thing was to get everybody to get gelling as a team, everybody putting in the work, coming out to practice and putting in the work, Of course, when playoffs roll around, of course everybody. The trap that you fall into often and we did it the past two years was we were looking beyond the semifinal game. We often say championship, championship, championship.

Speaker 4:

Well then, to get to the championship, you got to go to the semifinal game and then, when you get your head so off and championship game, you got to sit down and watch your opponent go in there.

Speaker 5:

That's correct, that's, you know what I mean that don't feel good no it doesn't, it doesn't so, but nevertheless.

Speaker 4:

I mean that was our mentality, especially in the playoffs. We said, listen, one game at a time. We're going to play Hornets, let's go in there, let's dominate the Hornets, all right, and you know, that was our mentality going in.

Speaker 2:

You know, the funny thing is, that's why I always say you guys find a way to make it happen. You know, because both of you guys came, I think. The semis and the championship same score, same results. You know what? I mean the 7-6,6, that there alone. That shows the grind. I don't care how you put it, you know what I mean that shows the grind. So I mean anyway, you know whatever it takes, you know what I mean. So well, let me rephrase that, because I think that's Avengers saying whatever it takes.

Speaker 5:

But, but you're on, they were jada do like that, they were jada do yeah With that, with that, with that and with that question I go a little different with that. I think going into the regular season we was hype. I think we was on our high horse. We come to do the job until we get punched in our mouth, yep, then everything changed. And do that son Reality strike. Come to do the job until we get punched in our mouth yep, then everything changes.

Speaker 5:

Reality strike, reality hit us and we say boy, that's a every, every given sunday. We gotta, we gotta tone this down, we gotta slow this down, because this ain't working you know, but I mean again, that's.

Speaker 2:

That's where experience comes into, though. Yeah, because a lot of people are full, because I think you guys were two and two within the first in the first half of the season four and four because I think Red Dot beat you and we beat you guys, you were good, you know, and afterwards I think you guys only lost one game afterwards. That would have been to Red Dot, that's correct.

Speaker 2:

You know I mean, but at the Again it shows the championship caliber team you guys have, but yeah, so, like I say, they showed a grind for you guys. So I mean you did what you had to do.

Speaker 3:

So you got it bro.

Speaker 5:

No, I was just going to say, to end up that question, you really got to blame Rods. Rods really stepped it up. I was just going to say, to end up that question, you really got to blame rods. Uh, rods really step it up. And he say, guys, you know, uh, instead of thinking ahead, I'm going to do one game at a time. So we, we studied, we did film, we did work, oh yeah.

Speaker 5:

It's film, not film, whatever you sound like Mr Film film, whatever, that's what I say. We did film time. We did all of that One game at a time. If it was Hornets we're playing, then we studied for Hornets and when game time come, we read and we deal with Hornets and so forth, and so forth. That was Rod putting his best foot forward.

Speaker 3:

And even with that. I spoke to both of y'all different days, different times, and both of y'all said the same thing, but every day is practice.

Speaker 2:

Every day is practice. I must say I hope you guys me personally, yeah, never got the game winning interception. But what's the kicker's name? Cj, oh, cj.

Speaker 5:

That's the real.

Speaker 2:

MVP, bro. Yeah, but that's the real MVP. You know them, two extra points the extra point to get you guys to the championship game, and then the extra point to win it. Yep, that there is key. Why I said it? Because Red Dot kick a miss.

Speaker 4:

Yep.

Speaker 2:

And Hornets kick a miss Absolutely. He didn't you understand what I'm saying? Like that's the real.

Speaker 5:

MVP, that's what counts. I tell you they go all out, shout out, cj.

Speaker 2:

Chris.

Speaker 1:

You have to, you have to give him a shout out bro.

Speaker 5:

That's the real MVP. That's the real MVP. And by saying that, we did shout out CJ, we and we explained why Neville, who should soon be leaving, got that MVP to him. Cj came to us at age 16.

Speaker 2:

That's right, I remember.

Speaker 5:

He was in school.

Speaker 2:

Yes, sir.

Speaker 4:

I remember and win his first championship.

Speaker 5:

We love him to death.

Speaker 1:

We grew him, we grew him so we understand our technique and what it's about.

Speaker 2:

He beat KJ by one year.

Speaker 5:

I think KJ got his own at 17.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, the first year we supposed to get it for him, but apparently Avengers, you know. Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 3:

That's some beast booty man. Yeah, that's some beast booty on that. But, like we say, we all heard the noise or the lack of humility that the team Red Dot showed. How good did it feel to shut them up and pay homage to the only team to win?

Speaker 2:

the championship, bradley. We don't need you answering this, we want Animal answering this. He can be politically correct.

Speaker 3:

How does it feel to pay homage to the only undefeated team to win the championship of 2014? Finlandia Predators.

Speaker 5:

You say how does it feel to do what?

Speaker 3:

To pay homage to the 2014 Finlandia Predators.

Speaker 5:

We still Finlandia? No, no, back then. Back then you were, when you guys were undefeated.

Speaker 2:

That's the only team that ran the table.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, and that was in jeopardy, that was in great jeopardy, y'all did it the.

Speaker 2:

Dolphins did it.

Speaker 5:

Hey, listen, listen, I want y'all to first. First, I want to say Eddie, you, you, you my friend, you guys are alright, you're my friend. But I ain't gonna lie, I ain't feel it for y'all. Y'all tried, y'all was too stank. Y'all was too stank what y'all was trying to do. You understand, you got to be humble. My coach always tell us humble first. You understand, y'all was not humble, y'all was nasty. Y'all was nasty and cocky and y'all ain't got nothing to be able to be that way.

Speaker 3:

y'all is trash because, mother fuck, you was on the sideline with me and they talking reckless to me and you told him. You said but you all, shut the fuck up, you all even nothing, sorry for cussing.

Speaker 5:

No, we good man, but he tell him.

Speaker 3:

I shut the hell up because you got nothing.

Speaker 2:

You know, the funny thing is I told a few of the players this. You know I'll call names. I mean because a few guys on the team I'm close with, yeah, you know, if it wasn't for that coach, I would have warned him get one, you know.

Speaker 5:

Not me, the coach alone, no man. No, I don't care.

Speaker 2:

No, for example, I can be real.

Speaker 5:

So, for example, I can be real, they follow their coach straight through.

Speaker 2:

No, no, so listen to me I can be real bro, like Billy. I think Billy deserves one, AP deserves one. You understand what I'm saying. Like dudes, like those, they deserve one Now, granted, granted, granted. I feel, because of the team you're on, I don't want you to get it.

Speaker 4:

You understand what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:

Because, the whole team gotta get it. So that's why I say that.

Speaker 5:

You see, you're saying these things and I agree with you. I believe in you. But You're saying these things and I agree with you. I believe in you, but there's a way they can get one.

Speaker 2:

Come with one of us.

Speaker 3:

Because y'all ain't going to get it with your lips.

Speaker 2:

Come on, if y'all stay there y'all going to be ringless. You know, I tell you, I don't know, I'm one of the teams that got rings.

Speaker 5:

You know, how to do it.

Speaker 2:

It's working me hard to even try adding these things because this ring's so heavy on my finger I can't.

Speaker 3:

So, speaking of teams and switching Anima, we noticed you swatting New Jersey after the game. Are you leaving the Predators to go to Red Dot? What happened?

Speaker 5:

Oh no, oh heck no.

Speaker 2:

So what the jersey was about.

Speaker 5:

No, the jersey was to teach a lesson. You two stink, yeah, you two stink. My boy do stink. He told me. He came to me over and over and he told me he said, hey, you're getting old, you got to hang up your jersey. I said who you talking to? He said yeah you. Then my wife come back week after week saying fella, saying I need a tiger bomb, and all this weird things so. I say, boy, listen, it's like old man teach young boy no tricks, you know.

Speaker 3:

Hold on one second, Alamond. How could they say that foolishness? And you and Marty was neck and neck for most socks in the season.

Speaker 5:

I don't see these boys, these young fellas. They smoke too much dope. I understand it.

Speaker 1:

Let me share that.

Speaker 5:

That boy is a dope man, he's my friend.

Speaker 1:

You know the dope man full of his bread and he get a little slow. Yeah, my friend, he's a dope man. You know the dope is full of his brain. I didn't get a big slope.

Speaker 2:

I ain't scared of y'all Dope.

Speaker 3:

Let me get you. I ain't pushing that forward.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we know, because you always call the police for people.

Speaker 3:

Kalma, yeah, I'd call the police for you quick yeah it was rude to Kalma the police are my friends.

Speaker 5:

And I bet him the jersey to show him that, hey, respect will always be due and don't ever try to get out of hand. I said to the end of the game come on, you know his boys them trying to stop him from giving me the jersey. When I walk over and I say hey, run my jersey. They say what they do steak. I say yo, yo, yo run my jersey, run them jewels. Now he started to pick it off. One of them pull it back down. I yucked him and the whole jersey forward Give me this I said I earned this.

Speaker 2:

I said you know, so you go under the 10 ticket.

Speaker 5:

Yes, in a crowd of all kind of red.

Speaker 2:

So what's the next step for that jersey?

Speaker 5:

To tell you the truth, I'm going to keep that jersey. I'm going to wash it every two weeks, I'm going to iron that, I'm going to hang it up and I'm going to send him a picture.

Speaker 3:

I know I'm ready to break in your house just for that jersey.

Speaker 5:

I know I'm going to put that jersey in a picture every two weeks.

Speaker 2:

You know San was coming up and he played a big part in when they won A couple years ago. Yeah, I think two years ago. What are you going to play in?

Speaker 5:

You better buy one of them. White T-shirts from Chinese places.

Speaker 3:

And a red and black marquee.

Speaker 5:

You better dip that in some red something, because that jersey, that ain't coming back. No, oh wow, you can get a picture of it, but no.

Speaker 2:

Rodney, we have a question for you now. You know what I mean. Let's give Annamal a break. They do stink yeah they stink.

Speaker 3:

Okay so, rodney, this is for you, man. We have seen players switching sides at a full sign of adversity like, oh, I'm mad because we ain't win me in this. What has been the secret to keeping fellas so loyal to the pride of the family?

Speaker 4:

Well, that's one thing we demand is loyalty. Loyalty above all, Because we had a situation about maybe a year or two ago, about a year or two ago, where that was loyalty was in question. And so what we did was we said you know what? Hey, listen, we can't allow this. You know what I mean. And so here, it was.

Speaker 4:

We had to kind of read up the situation. Anima called me on it and when he told me about it I said no way, bro. I said no way this is happening. But we how do you say this politically? We beat him out. Is that the way to say it? We beat him out and say listen, man, we need to get this loyalty back. Make sure we got everybody on the same page.

Speaker 5:

Man, I won't tell you all the truth, so bye.

Speaker 2:

That's the one when Anima was crying on the voice note no, no, no.

Speaker 5:

That's the one where Easy them tried to put together their dynamic team and one or two of our fellas. That's what.

Speaker 2:

I'm talking about. They say they had the voice. No, because you're crying, Begging, begging begging Jada State the what Begging Jada State. So you're on the voice of crying.

Speaker 5:

I never begged Jada State. No, I told I came in the group, I put Rodley, I pulled Rodley and I pulled Winton. Yep and they say we have some rats in our camp. No, I don't play games. It wasn't only Jay, it was Ron, it was Pudgy All of them was in this group then gone.

Speaker 3:

Pudgy didn't play the season.

Speaker 5:

I don't know.

Speaker 3:

She and my Pudgy.

Speaker 5:

Yeah you know, and that's when I came to the heads of the team and I say no, man, we have some rats, and when we call them out we really call them out. We don't play that. We have Cali. Cali is a monster, Cali, say Cali. They come in the group and say animal man, say they named these old stink maggots.

Speaker 5:

I say Cali, come on. He say no man, no, there's a bunch of stink maggots. He said if y'all think your T5 player shouldn't care to these other groups. And then Keno came off and started deleting everybody. He didn't even know who it was.

Speaker 2:

Hey, Rodney, they're the same old players you were talking about. Isn't that something you?

Speaker 4:

see, that, isn't that something? You see, that, right, that's the glue, that's the glue, that's the glue, that's the glue. Yeah, man, that's the glue boy, but that's something we demand.

Speaker 2:

I mean a lot of the young boys, young guys. I'm going to say young boys, because I don't want anyone to call me the boy, but a lot of the younger players have this LeBron syndrome where they want to win and they want to win now.

Speaker 5:

They don't want to wait for it, you understand what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:

So once the grass look greener, they gone. You understand what I'm saying.

Speaker 3:

It's loyalty man? Yeah, and then they can complain that they didn't get to play over there.

Speaker 5:

So that you know I might as well let y'all know when everything, the grass is greener somewhere and you don't want to wait. That's the stuff that happened Because Ron, right to the field, tell us if he could come back, ask us when we hit the championship. You know that wasn't even up for debate. Rods roll his eyes, went and say what? No, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2:

We give him back to y'all for two Gatorade.

Speaker 3:

Nicolette hey.

Speaker 5:

I damn got to be cold. I mean, he was a donkey of the week a couple times.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I'd ask people, y'all don't snob on the lines we snob on everybody, but saying it Riley, I got you right, animal. Yeah, I got you Saying Trix is the president. When you gonna give us Animal for a season, man, I mean, what'd you want? You want to wash up a sheet for your dream, you want to wash up a sheet for your team.

Speaker 4:

You know what I'm saying. Animal is a die-hard predator.

Speaker 3:

I'm ready to give you two first-round picks oh boy, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Two first-round picks from the Uke League. Uke League.

Speaker 1:

I'm the good youngster.

Speaker 2:

I want Spartans to come back, but JB ain't too long he got to realize linemen don't play in the Uke League Exactly. If he gets some linemen, he'll be good.

Speaker 4:

Let me say this publicly Jason Clark, I hope and I pray and I'm dead serious with this If you find some offensive linemenemen, because that talent that I see out there, that needs that is what the Bahamas Fly Football League needs, because what I saw this past weekend my brother with those kids out there the league, the future of the league, is promising. The only issue, like I say, is the offensive linemen and stuff like that. You know, give love to the big boys, man. I mean, you know the big boys, even though they may not get no work like that in the youth league. But trust me, what I saw there, this this past- weekend an exhibition.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, you know this evening regular season, but what I saw there, I was like boy. This flag football league is about to take off, man.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, I want to piggyback on that Matrix. You know me and Jason been at it for years. Man, Me and him been at it toe-to-toe for years, Even though he tried to give up our championship by calling it a cost of fear.

Speaker 3:

No, no, no, he did it alone. He did it alone.

Speaker 5:

Look, I'm scared though, jason.

Speaker 1:

Jason, I'm scared of you.

Speaker 5:

I'm scared of you, but nevertheless I want to congratulate you for putting your foot forward and bringing these youths up the right way. Man, they dangerous bro.

Speaker 2:

They dangerous. I watched them A lot.

Speaker 5:

They was having fun doing it, making it look easy. Yep, yeah, you know, if you decide to bring on a team, it could be some problems. It could be a problem, yeah.

Speaker 2:

I mean so obviously, you know what it would be, experience would get them. But other than that, you know what I mean they have a lot of talent. And then too don't forget now, because we have one of the guys from the youth league. He's a very good receiver. The problem is now he had to get used to physicality.

Speaker 4:

You understand what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:

Obviously gradually he's going to get there. It was players where we felt like he should have fought a little bit more, but he didn't. Don't think now you're going to blow past this person and then just behave. You can catch the ball. They won't let you catch it.

Speaker 3:

You understand what I'm saying? Axtech.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, oh boy.

Speaker 5:

That's a low blow. Oh boy, axtech, that's a low blow. So, ev, you did well. Son, I like you.

Speaker 3:

So, just speaking of sense, these boys recruit, they break up. All kinds of teams, have formed this quote team. Do y'all think?

Speaker 4:

super teams work. Now we were being accused of being a super team, believe it or not. They called us and said hey, rad, you're flying in the Fantastic Four this weekend.

Speaker 3:

The Fantastic Four.

Speaker 4:

I'm like yo, what are y'all talking about? I mean, these are players who play in Grand Bahama.

Speaker 5:

Well, three of them.

Speaker 4:

And I mean you know they're talented and stuff like that, but but I mean there's no super team. What you have is a core set of players that go in there, they practice, they work hard. You got the same thing, brother. You got 30, I got 30. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4:

So, all of this super team talk and all of that. Now let me say this respectfully, kama. I mean, there was a talk I remember years back when Ravens remember, when the Ravens did their thing and then they said Predators broke up. I'm just saying no, you scream. Ravens had a super team and they broke it up. Then they went to Team Elite. Remember that Team Elite was Tito and Eddie, as a matter of fact, if I'm not mistaken.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, then the Ravens, aaron Travis Right.

Speaker 4:

Exactly, and then Ravens beat them. We spanked him, and then Predators played Ravens in the championship and that was undefeated.

Speaker 3:

That's when Animal cheated me too. I remember that now. That's when I had to hurt my what do you think my collarbone.

Speaker 2:

I had to tear something out and Animal's playing me.

Speaker 3:

I was playing him. Animal hit me, animal punched that shoulder the rest of the game.

Speaker 5:

That's football brother. That was his rotator cuff.

Speaker 1:

I remember that.

Speaker 4:

But we don't Listen man. Super team, super team. You keep it. I don't believe in that Homegrown talent, Exactly.

Speaker 2:

So I just want to say that I mean most of the guys, more than 60%, 70% of your team are five, correct?

Speaker 4:

Yes, say that again. How much.

Speaker 2:

I would say about 50, 60.

Speaker 4:

The senior guys. I know the senior guys got them five. Yeah, we got the mid guys, they got three, okay. So I say that, and they weren't like right off each other, they were spaced, the mid guys they got three.

Speaker 2:

Okay, so I say that, and they weren't like right off each other.

Speaker 5:

They were spaced out Right, right, right.

Speaker 2:

That speaks to the team alone.

Speaker 4:

Exactly, and I mean because this is our 10, the 10 years of league and this is our fifth one. No, but we didn't really for it.

Speaker 5:

14, 15, 18.

Speaker 2:

No, no. What I'm saying is I say that to say I mean, if building a super team, I mean you would have a lot of guys on your team and only one Right.

Speaker 4:

Exactly yes.

Speaker 3:

So it shows that the guys were with you for a period of time. I got you for a period of time. Look at the walks. They win two championships. I'll say this and this is explained.

Speaker 2:

Your question was, and I quote do you believe super teams work? I quote hell no. First things first, the last three championships. We'll go with Avengers. They've been together, been getting there. They won Lions, same thing Predators same thing absolutely so until you learn what would win championship, oh boy that's that right there, that's powerful isn't it yes?

Speaker 2:

again, these are teams that has been grinding out and been grinding it out and been sticking it out. They built from ground up. Now, granted, at the end of the day I mean you guys come and you know, say you come back in October tournament and try to win that or win that, it don't matter. I can tell you one thing no one talks about tournament wins out by the rugby field.

Speaker 3:

Boy, I can be honest. I play in October just to smash. Win or lose. I smash it.

Speaker 2:

So, for example, Lions never won inside Freeport, but we went over there once as a Lion. But what I'm saying is because we TreeLinks are our brother team we went over there with them, but four or five of us, and we won. It was our family peeing. All you know, I was a family peon. You know what I'm saying? Only because, they didn't. I guess they didn't you know you wasn't you wasn't really a part of it. They didn't want to get some of them nah so because I mean I kicked field goal.

Speaker 4:

I said to Samian no one talking about that as far as this team is concerned. I mean, we have three Grand Balma tournaments, two Nassau tournaments. It was sweet yeah, and five now, championships.

Speaker 2:

So I mean, you know it's kids. I can tell you one thing the bragging starts when five championships, then you go on to those other stuff? Yeah, exactly I mean you can't start with that tournament. Then you know what I mean.

Speaker 5:

We can talk in championships, I can talk a couple of championships.

Speaker 4:

Oh, yeah, yeah, you can talk on a national, I wouldn't have more fingers.

Speaker 5:

I wouldn't have no more fingers to put these drinks on.

Speaker 3:

Hey, maybe you could lease some out there. Oh, oh goodness. But I mean the thing about at least Red Dot can say they win a San Juan tournament.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 4:

We won the first one. Fred has won the first one.

Speaker 2:

But again, like I said, at the end of the day, that only comes up when San Juan comes and everyone only remembers the last champion. See, and you got to realize, bro, tournaments, people play. So, for example, season. You got to realize, bro, tournaments, people play. So, for example, season. If Three Links come over here to play in our season, you think they're playing with them, or Lions.

Speaker 5:

Lions Okay.

Speaker 2:

So me winning a tournament with them? I ain't really bragging about that, bro, and I mean, that's what I'm saying. You got to stick it out, your team, your 30-round roster. And then you got to actually plan and you got to exactly yeah yeah, yeah, you know, I could very well make a call to my good friend Tom Brady and have him come down and play for this tournament in October. But that'd be nice, but anyway, let's move on.

Speaker 3:

So, raleigh, I know you guys have a lot of older players. Like you played the hype, the air quotes Players on the team, right, how you guys plan on playing next season to find your crown. Anybody talking retirement? Like how I did I tell you to go like that it talks.

Speaker 4:

But let me tell you something Winning a championship, that's the ultimate goal. Everybody got to make their decision. But we love to run it back. I'm sure they love to run it back, but we'll see how it goes. Man, we'd love to run it back.

Speaker 3:

I'm sure they'd love to run it back and you know, but we'll see how it goes. Man, you got to put that ring down. Man you blinding me, man, oh, sorry, sorry, Let me hang it off on the edge here. I'm not so much rocks at that.

Speaker 4:

Well, yeah, this is the old one. Now this has got four in it.

Speaker 3:

I mean, this is the one with the four in it.

Speaker 2:

Boy, sorry for cutting you off. You all have to make sure. When you guys put the fifth one on, let's make sure I leave it red in there.

Speaker 4:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Oh boy.

Speaker 1:

No, no, no, Hold on, See y'all let me finish.

Speaker 2:

The red is the blood that's all Okay, okay, okay.

Speaker 3:

The blood of the predator, all right.

Speaker 5:

Yeah yeah Y to me, my animal.

Speaker 2:

I said the bloodline of the predator.

Speaker 5:

I got you, you done, jumped the conclusion I got you, I got you, I got you. See, to answer that question, kalma, you know you move with time and with my timing boy. Listen, I did it all, I have it all, I've achieved it all, but I see this era thing going. It's a new era. Well, lebron James, he put it to the Lakers and if you draft my son, I'll play one more. Now my son being playing at San Juan.

Speaker 3:

You saw him. Am I ready to give him an NIL deal right now? Understand I got my own sponsor trophy. You, I'm ready to give him an NIL deal right now. You see, understand, I got mine to sponsor the trophy. You think I can't pay?

Speaker 2:

him. You think he's ready next year? Yeah, I think, man, I think so.

Speaker 5:

He's ready.

Speaker 2:

I think so so.

Speaker 5:

I'm putting it to Rods. I'll play another game if we draft my son Another game or another year. Another year off my son, then I think I'll hang up that jersey Quick question what kind of car he get?

Speaker 3:

eight drives. He ready to get him a little 100 foot or so.

Speaker 1:

We'll talk.

Speaker 4:

We'll talk over here animal. I'm pretty sure we'll bring something out.

Speaker 3:

We'll talk over here. Give the dog a fuel voucher too boy, live your best life. So how rewarding has it been to see the young fellas fill the role left by retiring players, Like I think I saw Moose was out there.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, bob, like fellas, like that who was very implemented in your foundation West, though Don't forget.

Speaker 3:

West.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, West.

Speaker 1:

Yeah because, again.

Speaker 4:

That's why getting back to the original point with the 2014,. Well, I say them because, of course, I was the only undefeated team and I made a vow.

Speaker 2:

I said bro, there's no way.

Speaker 4:

Once we get in that championship game, I said but I can't let this happen for them. And so it was very rewarding for the younger players. I promise all of those young players, man, the first-time second-year players, I say, guys, if I get there, if you join the Predators, I'll do my best for you to put a ring on your finger and bye, diggits.

Speaker 5:

So sad, so done.

Speaker 4:

Oh man, that was for me as a coach, that was one of the greatest rewards you could ever provide for one of your players. You know.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, I feel it for one or two of the players and I will call their name Ashley. Ashley is one of the players who played with Rams and he poured his heart out. Ashley, the big line one he poured his heart out, he played the chubby one who? Ron, hit late in the game when we play y'all that was the first game. You mean after you crack Ron. No, I fixed it. When we play y'all, when he hit him, he crack him late.

Speaker 2:

That was the first game or the last? The first game, yes, you mean after you crack Ron. No, I fix it.

Speaker 5:

I didn't like what he do to my fella, so I fix it, I crack him.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's what makes you a stand-in. I would come and know that was coming. You could see that was coming a mile away. But for.

Speaker 5:

Ashley, he boys hard on me. He say, you know, I've been playing for 10 years, Never have I gotten a ring. He say you know, I appreciate this so much. He say I'm ready to pay my money.

Speaker 2:

For 10 years. Yeah, man, he played with the Rams. He been around long.

Speaker 5:

And you wouldn't know him, matrix, because he was not like an up there type player Right, or out there. Yeah, you, or up there type player, out there, you know to shine.

Speaker 2:

I mean. But then too I can be real. I don't really pay attention to offensive linemen, defensive linemen.

Speaker 4:

He's a defensive dude, he's a D-line with an offense, see. And then Chad. Chad came from Red Dot, chad came from Red Dot. And then I showed that was personal, I showed.

Speaker 5:

That was personal. These fellas never were over here.

Speaker 4:

These fellas, never wear a ring over here.

Speaker 5:

And they show their appreciation, you know.

Speaker 4:

Absolutely.

Speaker 5:

We have, like fellows 16 and 117, just come out and get a ring made for us. So you know we be grateful for that.

Speaker 3:

Me and you spoke of this the other night. Man, I say what it is, you was a fucking party animal, you, you was use problem, but anyway, that's the story for another day.

Speaker 4:

We need to show. We need to show.

Speaker 3:

We need to call that.

Speaker 2:

We need to call that Fragile Animal and Matrix after that or something, that one, we got to do a special edition for that.

Speaker 3:

So in saying that, me and you spoke about how this one was like the best for you and I agree because last season all the adversity we went through, getting suspended I get suspended for pancaking a dude, bro.

Speaker 5:

That don't make no sense.

Speaker 3:

So in saying that, how did that feel, winning this one over the rest? I mean, I know all has its place, all. I'm not diminishing none, but how did it feel? With this one man. I kid you not. All has its place.

Speaker 5:

All, I'm not diminishing none, but how did it feel with this one? By the way, man, I kid you not, I explained it to my coach. And because these fellas were so in my face and every day taunting and you know, carrying on this was the best ever, I tell you not, this is the best feeling. I twist my ankle. I didn't know. I twist my ankle until must be two days later. That's how hype that's how much?

Speaker 1:

hype I was on that's because of Galix was. Galix.

Speaker 2:

Like a little more than best.

Speaker 5:

This was nice for me. I appreciate the coach, I appreciate the team, the whole staff, but this ain't your time in speech we cut.

Speaker 2:

I appreciate the coach, I appreciate the team, the whole staff, but this ain't your time and speech. Wait, cut that. This ain't your time and speech anyway.

Speaker 3:

So the season over yet we are hoping to see you all defend this BFFL title against Grand Bama Flag Football League and Nationals. Have you all been paying attention to that late? Of course, man.

Speaker 2:

We watched the video last night good the boys, that could be a good game. Come on, man you know, the funny thing with that is, I mean, I just want to have a good game, just watch a good game.

Speaker 1:

I'll say it later, because I mean, I don't care who wins, they're my brothers, you know, at the end of the day.

Speaker 2:

I still want y'all to represent Nassau. Of course you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3:

With whoever win, I party. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I don't care. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's so bad, right, I get off. I get off.

Speaker 5:

You need to tell them where we can be.

Speaker 3:

Now no, no we, I get off midnight. We know you can call us now, I get off midnight right, and the wife say what time you coming home. I say baby, the animal called me. She say okay, have fun, I can tell you what time you come home.

Speaker 2:

But boy, the night was hard. Let me see what the animal say. Go in the little small car, let me see how far you can get you. Catch me here, animal. No, let me see how far you can get you catch me here, don't I?

Speaker 1:

No, I can't move it.

Speaker 2:

Wow, Again, I mean. So the next question is man, I don't want you to answer this, because you might answer this the wrong way. I want, I want, I want. Will there be any nationals? That's the thing.

Speaker 4:

We are talking about who can have nationals and less Well, so from what I understand, they're aggressively seeking to get this Nationals off in a couple of weeks. So stand by and we'll see how it goes. I hope it happens. I really hope it happens. Nevertheless, predators are going to Freeport on August Monday weekend. Oh yeah, I'll be there, so y'all can buck that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'll be there.

Speaker 4:

All right.

Speaker 2:

What about Sanwa? Y'all put in a game there, oh yeah.

Speaker 4:

I don't know if I'll be there, but yes.

Speaker 5:

I had a game for Sanwa.

Speaker 4:

Okay, I won't. No, I don't, I don't do Predators Sanwa.

Speaker 2:

Okay, yeah, that's good. If I am out, I'll be official. Me personally, I always feel that's the time for the guys.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, let them have fun, man, let them have fun you understand what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:

That's how I feel about Sanwa. Yeah.

Speaker 3:

So I know we understand a pitching idea to the league to try to do an all-star game. So, I got to this. Are the Predators interested in it?

Speaker 4:

Well, I always had an issue with all-stars. Let me tell you why Because everybody believes in an all-star, which is good, that's great. Now, if you be doing it, all-stars, it's understated.

Speaker 2:

That's what I'm going to tell you. Let me tell you how we plan to do it. So on the male side you would need, let's say, 60 players, 30 on each side. So what we plan to do is we plan to get the top 50 from stats and then have the fans vote for about 10 players.

Speaker 5:

Because you know you have some fan favorites.

Speaker 4:

Hey, I got you, I got you, I understand.

Speaker 2:

So when we put those 60 in a pool, then we would have the coach who would represent the BFFL draft and the coach who would represent on the center draft their players, you understand. So it don't necessarily mean Annamal get to play with an ex-Predator.

Speaker 4:

You understand what I'm saying. So he could be coached by Coach Eddie. Is that what you're saying? Yes, he could be coached.

Speaker 2:

But understand what I'm saying, so heads up. But this I mean. The good part about it is this where you get to play with players.

Speaker 5:

That you never played with. You understand what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:

So at the end of the day, you really have to showcase your talent now, because now you're in the system anymore.

Speaker 4:

You're in the system.

Speaker 2:

So when Animal used Keno being on his left side or whatever it is now, you have to adjust and really play with alignment, you understand. So now Animal out there on the island by himself to see what talent he really has. He got Kareem over there in a white shape. So, for example, you and Marty, you and Marty, the two Sox, they possibly play side-by-side.

Speaker 5:

So you know what I mean At the end of the day, that's what we propose.

Speaker 2:

I got you my point, though. That quarterback finish and it shows the knowledge of the quarterbacks how they would draft. I got you Because how they would draft.

Speaker 3:

I got you Because I mean, we've had someone told us that they would draft a safety over a lineman, o-lineman.

Speaker 4:

What Exactly? I didn't know what about you. That's the dumb stuff. Oh boy, that's interesting my point, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2:

So you have some people that might just draft skill plays, know the O-lineman, and then you know Well if it happens to me.

Speaker 4:

You know why.

Speaker 5:

I didn't pick it Matrix, I'm just saying so you pick Only reason, Pick for pick Only reason. Against BFM.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we ain't do it as yet is because we're trying to see if they have a Nationals. If we have a Nationals, we don't want to interrupt that for you guys.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, that's a nice sign. That'll be good, that'll be good, nice sign.

Speaker 2:

We're trying to balance it because still don't want to interrupt what the sign was either. Yeah, Okay.

Speaker 4:

So you know I It'll be like in August sometime or something, yeah, so we're trying to hurry up, get it out of the way and go with it.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I guess that's Before we leave. We call the starts, but we didn't even tell the Eagles congratulations. I think we should, since they've been in the championship, I think we need to shout out their sponsor.

Speaker 2:

We'll give them their time also next week, man.

Speaker 3:

Okay, solid.

Speaker 2:

So at the end of the day, you know, prayer to decide their time. We actually want to bring them on the show at the same time.

Speaker 5:

And then we'll end the season. So you're saying this time this McConnell can come. So you're saying this time this McConnell could come yeah man, are you kind of ready for them?

Speaker 3:

blows, son, you're about to answer oh boy. But real talk boy.

Speaker 2:

We really appreciate you all too, boy we really appreciate you all too for coming through and supporting the thing All right so tell them why we really appreciate them. I appreciate them Because they stopped that boy band Wow.

Speaker 3:

You know, them boys, so boy bond, wow, you know exactly. Boy bond.

Speaker 1:

So you try to say to them, boys, I can't see you, oh man, we ain't even going to give nobody the goose of the week, and thing, but realistically I mean automatically.

Speaker 2:

If we get goose of the week, I get the honky. That's two championships back to back. Interception on a game-winning drive. You got to have the goose of the week, you got to have the goose of the year. I mean, we ain't playing about pulling no punches, man. This is simple, isn't? That what I mean, and then we'll go. My MVP, I tell you all again, I give it to CJ. I can't go around it, that's me.

Speaker 5:

Speaker 2:

I was like what, yeah, that was me saying that, that was me saying that. But hold on, hold on, listen to me. Okay, all fun and jokes aside, that catch, I think.

Speaker 1:
