On today's pardon my take, March Madness, recap of the last four days of our lives, everything that happened, all the upsets. No guess, it's just the boys in studio today, because we got a lot to talk about, we also have to talk about Aaron Rodgers from Billy's perspective. I don't even know what else happened in the sports world, but we have a Monday reading,

Who's Back, great show for everyone. Everyone's probably picking themselves off the mat after crazy four days, getting back to work. Hopefully we can give you some entertainment going into that. And we are brought to you by our friends at Coors Light. There's nothing like the excitement of the big tournament, but every buzzer beater for your team, is someone else's bracket buster, and every game is a chance to turn the tables. When you're pride or your money is on the line, you need to take a beat, take a moment

to chill with an ice cold Coors Light, there's only one beer out there that's literally made to chill, and that is Coors Light. I was drinking a Coors Light over the weekend, Jake is already doing woes and Oz, because we still got a half of basketball left. I was drinking a Coors Light over the weekend when I needed a timeout from all the action. So there's only one beer that's as ice cold as the Rockies. When you need to hit that reset, just crack open an ice cold Coors Light, it's Mountain Cold Refreshment made to chill.

We love Coors Light. Okay, let's go. Welcome to part of my take today is Monday, March 20th, and holy shit boys, March Madness, we are still alive, and I don't know, I've just spent the last four days watching every

second of basketball gain probably 15 pounds, feel absolutely like dog shit, haven't slept, but man was that fun. I've got a new winner from the weekend. Yeah. It was a loser on Thursday, but biggest winner of the weekend, the University of Virginia. Yeah. UVA big time dodged a bullet because not only not only did their loss against Furman not it wasn't even close to being the biggest upset of the tournament so far, but also they're

no longer the only 16 seed to go down to one seed thanks to Purdue and FDU, which somebody told me, I don't know if this is true or not, someone told me that FDU, they changed her name to the Paladins, which we, what do we figure out? No, that's Furman. Furman, sorry, sorry, Furman changed her name to the Paladins, but Furman used to be called Furman University Christian Knights, and that spelled fuck, so if you saw those hats that had the lines on the front, all the kids were buying those, they were hilarious. Yes.

I had a Cox one myself. I had the Cox one. That was as chuggy as it got in the late 90s. It was. It was. It's cap. No, I do think that UVA came out of this, came out of the weekend smelling a lot better than they smelled on Thursday.

So we're going to recap everything. We're going to try to do a little bit chronological order, even though our brains are still pretty scrambled. I don't know about you guys, but I feel, my body feels terrible. I feel, I feel like we did four NFL Sundays in a row, but we will start with Purdue. The story of the tournament, Purdue losing to Fairleigh Dickinson on Friday. Fairleigh Dickinson, the shortest team in the tournament. The worst schedule in NCAA basketball, they were 363 out of 363 in strength of schedule.

They also didn't even win their conference tournament. That was Merrimack, and Merrimack wasn't able to play in the tournament because the four years stupid grace period Merrimack is actually should be, should get credit for all Fairleigh Dickinson's wins. And should we do a pizza party for Merrimack? We should. We should do a pizza party for Merrimack. If the coach, Joe Gallo, the coach, if the coach reaches out to us directly done and

asked for a pizza party, it's yours. I saw Merrimack play against Long Island University when I took my son and the coach was like, what the fuck are you doing here? And I was like, I'm just watching ball. I love ball. You say Joey Callow, Joey, Joe Gallo, Joe Gallo. So great coach. They'll be in the tournament next year.

So Fairleigh Dickinson, worst strength of schedule, shortest team. The conference they come from, the NEC was 0 and 31 in the round of 64 in the history of the conference. They had never won a round of 64 game. They take down Purdue, Matt Painter, Zac Eady, Purdue, the one seed, probably the lowest that Purdue can get. And Purdue has been in some really low places because Purdue now, 2021, they lost to a 13 seed North Texas, 2022, they lost to a 15 seed St. Peter's 2023, they lost to a 16 seed

Fairleigh Dickinson. Good news for Purdue. Say something nice about Purdue. There are no 17 seeds. So it feels like we've reached the bottom. They'll probably find a new way to do this and make it worse. But right now it feels like this is the bottom for Purdue. We should do the Revelle tweet when, when Dunk City won back in what year was that?

2013. 2013 was like, don't, don't feel bad for the guys. This is their college campus. Don't feel bad for Purdue. They get to go back to school in West Lafayette, Indiana. This is, and I, listen, I'm not a fan of Purdue. They're, they're, you know, in the big 10, I root against them. And I will admit, hand up on Friday night, when I got back to our hotel room at like

1330, I probably spent about an hour laying in bed, just reading all the Purdue blogs, stories, everything that I could read. It's worse than bad. Like it's, it's rock, rock bottom. That team, I don't know where they go from here. My takeaway was that Zach Eadie, without Zach Eadie, Purdue would not have made the tournament. They probably wouldn't have even made the NIT. Zach Eadie was the only one doing anything.

And granted, he didn't shoot for the last whatever five, six minutes of the game, but they were triple teaming him every time he got the ball. Their strategy was just, we're going to smother this guy with the tiniest dudes that we can find and just really confuse him. And so he's obviously going to try to pass out of that triple team, and then nobody could make a shot at Purdue. They stink, except for Zach Eadie. It was, it was painful to watch with the expectation that you knew that Purdue was favored by,

you know, a lot of people to make it. This was going to be the year if they were going to make it. Some people had a future on them. Some people had a future on them. Some people bet on them. Some people bet on them. And those guys are fucking idiots and they should never talk publicly about college basketball. If you said, if you had a future on Purdue to win the national championship, nobody should

ever. Well, I was so painful watching PFC because he bet on Purdue in this game when the whole sportsbook was rooting for the upset because that's what happens in March. Upsets like start, once the wave starts, it's, it's, it's why March Madness is so special. You can feel it in the arena. You can feel it in the sportsbook if you're at a bar. If there's an upset brewing, everyone kind of perks up and they start paying a little more attention.

And even if you don't have a bet on it, you're like, go underdog, go. And you were sitting there and that you're, I was the only one having a bad time. Well, all right. Zach Edie would dunk on like a five, 11 guy and PFC would be like, yes. I would be like, don't go on that idiot. Yeah. It literally was David versus Goliath and you were, you had Goliath minus 14 points. Yeah.

I had David, I had David going down in the first round. It was tough. And I, I did in the second half. I wanted to root for FDU because obviously I don't like Purdue. Oh yeah. When you realize you're not going to win your bet, you're like, fuck it, lose outright. My whole thing was, I don't want to publicly switch sides and start cheering for FDU because whatever I, whatever streak I was on on Friday where I was at a point where I was 0 for 8

in my last eight and I was down bad and I was about to lose my bet on a one seed, not just against the spread, but straight up. I just said, uh, I think I whispered to spider. I was like, you know what, I'm going to, I'm, I'm internally going to be rooting from this point on for FDU, but I don't want to transfer my bad vibes to him. Yeah. So I'm just going to sit here in silence and just be miserable with myself. But it was, you're right.

They were the, the shortest team. Well, they said effective height, their effective height was the lowest of any team in the tournament. I don't know what that means. That's probably guys that play. It's sound. Okay. That means that they probably have a 12th guy that is like seven feet, but he sucks. Cause I was going to say, what's my effect?

Maybe I could just fudge another inch out of myself. I said, I would imagine that effectively, effectively I play as a five, nine and a half guy. Yeah. But so yeah, they were going up against Purdue was too short for Purdue. You were saying it, but it actually was true. They were too short. Zach, he literally did.

He looked like a cartoon character when it was like a bunch of little guys running around him, tying him up, tying his shoelaces together. It was golfers travels. Yeah. It was crazy. It was actually too short. And Tobin Anderson, the coach for FDU, all right, let's start with him because Matt Painter deserves a lot of criticism.

He, he said after they beat Texas Southern on Wednesday night, we went to that game. Shout out Dave. He also said that they could beat Purdue. But Tobin Anderson was like, I've been watching Purdue. We can beat them. And then his game plan was absolutely perfect. He was pressure their guards, the entire court front. Everything was Zach Eadie basically havoc and be like, Purdue, if you could make three

point shots, you can win this game by 20. Oh yeah. Your guards can't. You lose this game outright as a 16 seed. So it was like the perfect game plan and Matt Painter, like Zach, he doesn't deserve criticism. He's just a kid. He's probably like 25. Matt Painter, you, if you're a Purdue fan, I know that he's made Purdue like very good

and they've gotten top five seeds, I think in the last five tournaments. What have they done? No, I mean, the, the one thing that sucks for Purdue is they did lose in the, was it a lead eight? How is he leading against Virginia? Who won the tournament and on an insane like last second play that went to overtime. So like they were very close and that one, they don't deserve blame for because that's as close as you can get in a very hard tournament to win.

But the last three years, like Matt Painter, you stink buddy. Yeah. But you're right. He should have done something. There should have been an adjustment made at halftime when everybody was like, well, you're going to lose this game. It wasn't, it was by no means a fluke after the first half. It's like this team matches up really well against Purdue.

Purdue had, if, if Ivy, right, Chucky Ivy, Jaden Ivy, Chucky Hepburn dropped 27 in the NIT today. No big deal. If, if Jaden Ivy was on this Purdue team, they probably win the game by like 20 points. But Jaden Ivy lost to a 15 seat. He did. But so I don't know if you could say that that's earlier. That's before Zach Eadie got good and he became a solid passer.

But that's what I'm saying. Like Purdue's had players, Purdue's had good teams. They get to play tournament and Matt Painter, for whatever reason, the disappointment follows. This wasn't a fluke for FDU. If they play a best of seven series, I think FDU could be Purdue probably three times three, four out of seven. Yeah. I'd say four out of seven.

They were, they were better. I don't, they were better coached the speed they played with. They had like, and they just were so unafraid and I know we'll get to Sunday's game where they end up losing. But this is why like March Madness is so special is if you win one game as a 16 seat, you're remembered forever. Forever. You don't have to go win the tournament.

Like these underdogs get remembered forever. We just talked about Florida, Gulf Coast. Who doesn't remember Dunk City, you know, like you can basically write history and make careers out of one awesome upset. Yeah. The new market inefficiency is having short players in a team. They've been overworked. They were too short.

They're like odd job from GoldenEye. Yeah. It's tough to hit them. Yeah. It's really, it's really tough. Here's a fun stat. In the 64 team era, there have been 36 teams to enter the tournament as a one or two seed that weren't ranked in the preseason AP poll.

They have combined for zero final fours averaging fewer than two wins per tournament. Purdue and Marquette were the two teams that fit into that criteria this March Madness. Yeah. No, it's the preseason poll as much as people make fun of them. They nailed it with UNC. For football and basketball, they actually do mean a little something when it comes to basketball in the tournament. Jake, do you think Matt Painter should be fired?

Say it. Fire is at. Jake, this is unforgivable loss. Fire is at. Do you want me to read it again? Thirteen seed, fifteen seed, sixteen seed. He's the, he's the bizarro world, Tom Izzo. Indiana is a basketball state.

Isn't that correct? It is. Yeah. Yeah. Get him out. Get him out. What's the saying in Hoosiers in 49 states, it's a sport or something. Indiana is bad.

My team is on the floor. That's that's Hoosiers. My team is on this rim is 10 feet off the ground. Yeah. My team is on the floor. He's got 49 states. It's just basketball, but this is Indiana. Yeah.

Yeah. Get him out. Get him out. That's the quote I was looking for. Bring back Brad Stevens out. I am curious because it is like an it's coming home. impossible place to be in as a fan where Matt Painter has made Purdue very good in their winning big 10 titles, big 10 championship tournament championship this year. But then

you get to March and it's like the most painful excruciating embarrassment possible. Yeah, it was bad. It was bad. Really, really bad. So New Jersey is now the kingdom of upsets in the tournament. Yep. Between St. Peter's and now and Princeton also and FTU. Yeah, that's the state of underdogs. Yeah, it is. It is. So other other games from Friday, I mean Purdue, that was the game. That was the game that everyone talked about. Vermont, no. Uh-uh. It was a fun time. Didn't even cover the spread. Was it fun? Was it fun? Was it fun? I don't think it was fun. It was cool. It was cool. Yeah. It's cool to see them play. Yeah. Okay. Iona Yukon, Rick Petino lost and then it was like maybe an hour later he was at St. John's. Not officially at St. John's but the

report came out that like they're finalizing a deal. It was it was it was very funny and to Rick's credit they hung they hung in there in the first half. Yeah, they were up in half. In true Rick Petino fashion they came out strong. Very strong. And fast. Very fast. Yeah. So they were running the court. That was a fun game for the first half. We thought we had a chance but no, Rick Petino his uh his seed was eliminated yet again. Yes, it was gone. I'm trying to think of what other games I mean we saw. So the big story from this tournament is everyone just sucks at shooting. I don't know if it's Sam Decker, friend of the program, said the ball is lighter and it's like shooting a balloon. There's also been talk about the rims because they had to you know change up

the rims and uh adjust them. A lot of rims. The rims in both Greensboro and Des Moines were just terrible. There was something fishy going on there. Yeah and we had uh we there's no no better uh showcase of that than Iowa State who I think they made a couple of baskets at the end of the game but with like three minutes left they were shooting 19 percent from the field. They ended up shooting 9.5 percent from three. It's been a bet under if you bet if you're an under better you're you're probably listening to this on your yacht right now because it's just been every single under possible um and we have Bob Ryan was right because uh everyone's talking about the shooting being terrible. Bob Ryan came in from the clouds today and uh so Jeff Goodman said

overall three point shooting in the NCAA tournament entering today's action 30.6 percent. Bob Ryan comes in from the clouds. You know you just entered my wheelhouse. The three-point shot is the worst thing to happen to basketball in my lifetime. It is distorted the game at every level. It was never necessary. It was the gimmick of a promoter named Abe Saperstein. Yeah Bob Ryan was right. Hashtag Bob Ryan was right. Steph Curry ruined basketball. He has like a little alert go off in his house whenever someone's like three point shooting sucks and you know what Bob Ryan's kind of right. Bob Ryan's low key right about this. Well I wish he made more threes but but also the three point shot is awesome. Yeah like as as a fan of watching sports on TV

I like the three point shot but it has it's drastically changed the sport and not always for the good. I do miss having a dude having just dudes bang down low. Yeah I miss that. I miss just like two dudes banging into each other. They don't let you they don't they don't let them play. They don't let the dudes bang. They don't let the dudes bang. I've been very upset about that many times watching college basketball. They're not letting the guys bang down low. Yeah at least not in Florida. So there's also a proposal where you have the three point line go off to the side so it doesn't you don't have a side three pointer. That's a three point line connects to to the sidelines. That sounds European. It does. It does. It feels European. It feels like what you'd see in the

Olympics. It feels FIBA. Yeah. It feels like FIBA is getting its hold on basketball. Globalism. I don't like it. No I'm not a fan of that. Jake all the our way out of this we just got to keep digging. Yeah make the four point line. Yeah I was saying and then past half court the five point line. There should be a circle at half court that's a five five pointer. Yeah that would make games a little more exciting at the end when you're down four. It's like games not over. Yeah you can hit a five pointer. Jake other thoughts from Friday anything else. Yeah Friday Kentucky got a tournament win. Obviously they're eliminated and Providence has lost. There's growing speculation that Ed Cooley is going to jump to Georgetown. So something to monitor. We'll see if he makes

that jump within the Big East Conference. Are you taking John Calperbury off the hot seat. Out. Oh. Jake's firing everybody. Jake is fucking insane right now. I think that Ed Cooley to Georgetown would be an awesome hire for Georgetown. Yeah Providence is his spot. Georgetown just has a lot more resources. He's from Providence right. Yeah he's a Providence guy. So he might be using this just to get a couple million dollars more. I've heard the boosters have stepped in. For Providence. Yes. Yeah. So we'll see. And by that I mean I read it on Twitter. Oh. So I don't have any sources. I have zero sources. Although Mike Rapoli is who we know who's a friend of Barso did a did the big brain show with us. He has said that he was he's going

to be very involved if Rick Petino goes to St. John's St. John's alum. So I'm hoping he just runs that program like it's his own. You know he tried to buy the Mets with a rod was denied. I hope he just runs St. John's like a professional team. It was very funny after the game because Rick Petino did say before and after the game that you know people just write whatever they want on the Internet doesn't mean there's any truth to it. And then about I'd say four minutes after the game was over. Yeah. It was reported. Yeah this is basically a done deal. Listen Rick Petino Hall of Fame denier of facts. Yeah. He just can get in front of a microphone and just tell you like this is not what's happening and then have literally walk off stage and have it be printed

like this is exactly what's happening. It's like nope. That's not happening. So some people are speculating Petino to St. John's Tobin Anderson. Whoa. To Iona. Whoa. Step up. OK. Yeah. March. Step up. Friday we also had two near buzzer beaters TCU coming back to the Arizona state and then FAU over Memphis which is great. That was a great totally well-officiated game crazy game. No owls staying at our hotel. Memphis got hoes. The NCAA clearly still has it in for Penny. Yeah for Penny Hardaway because the calls at the end of that game were just they were ludicrous. Yeah. Between the non timeout call that they missed and also there were a couple of questionable foul calls from dodgy stuff. The jump ball was the one that was Memphis just had the ball. The

jump ball. FAU just barely got a finger on it. They're like jump ball. It was bad. It was bad. Memphis. Hank what we still did the crying. I missed the crying Jordan meme. Yeah. I think I officially it's time to bring it back. Yeah. Because I wanted to see the crying Jordan meme on the Memphis Bass Pro shop pyramid. Yes. It would be nice. It would be nice. Hank how was your Friday. We're just recapping everything. My Friday was good. I mean it's tough to bounce back after Thursday but I had an average Friday average Saturday. That's good. But watching the games was a lot more fun. I had FDU. I did. I did wish you know I was in a spot where I was like oh I think after you could win but I only put a little bit on it but it was still very fun to watch and

it was cool knowing that we were there seeing them in the play in tournaments. We saw their birth. Every time that highlight plays it's like a little fun fact like oh yeah we saw them. Yeah we saw them and we saw them in Dayton. We saw it coming. We bet all yeah we had like the FDU in that game and then they went and won that the next game. It was awesome. The whole thing was great. So FDU is a memorable something about being in a sports book for three days straight and we were just eating. I think I ate Chinese food pizza and burger every day with a milkshake to like ease my I was using milkshake as tums. Yeah it was good because it kind of coached the stomach a little bit. Yeah they should make a Pepto Abismo flavored milkshake. But I seriously was

like yeah I need a milkshake. I'm starting to get a little heartburn. I think we should bring a sun lamp next year because we forgot what time of day it was. We forgot what day it was so it was just we're at war. I was saying next year we should have at the airport like a parade or something like bring our boys home when we come back from not to minimize war but when we're fighting for everything in March Madness. We're at war. I would like to come back to a dog like you know jumping in our lap and a big sign that says welcome home boys. It would be nice. It would be nice. The least they could do. All right before we do Saturday and then we'll get to Sunday. Just for men one day beard and brow color is the first temporary brush in washout color

went worked out walked out of the gym put my hands in my pockets my headphones were in my pockets all time so that's that was the where my brain capacity was at on Saturday when I woke up so I also went to the gym how saturday morning I went down to uh to the gym that we had down in with the fourth floor yeah of our hotel and there's a guy that's walking on the treadmill and he's wearing like a sweat suit yeah and he's he's got like his hat pulled down real low and that's the only treadmill that's open and he's walking and I get on there and I start running you know kind of a big dick move except on the treadmill you start running next to the guy that's just walking and I look over I glanced over at him and he looks back at me and it's Dave

and Dave gave me this look like why the fuck are you running yeah while I'm walking and I was like yeah that's fair so he gets off the treadmill I'm thinking I'm going to do about I don't know two three miles something something like enough to get a little sweat going I made it for a quarter of a mile and then I was and then I was like I have to walk my body is not ready for this I've been watching basketball for two days exercise is not it's not going to work out this morning yeah so I yeah I jogged a quarter mile on Saturday morning that's huge yeah Dave does his hot boy walks when we were in Boston for conference championship week I had a similar experience where I was lifting no big deal and he was doing his hot boy walk and we had like a

glance to each other like don't take a picture of me I won't take a picture of you yeah it's like you know the content the gym is the one place that you gotta kind of try to shut it off yeah so I didn't want to see him like taking a picture of me like benching like a hundred pounds being weak and shit I wish he had taken a picture of me in my first quarter mile yeah I bet way more than that by the way uh okay Saturday it's great to know the Duke is still a bunch of soft pussy boys they got bullied Tennessee bullied the fuck out of Duke well it's uh it's coach K's players you know yeah we gotta wait till John Shire reloads I'm sure he's going to get a great recruiting class in yep but you know there's only you can't you can't make chicken salad out of

chicken shit all the time yeah you can't you you have to retrain all of these players you have to beat you have to beat the Duke out of him yeah right and Tennessee did they beat the Duke out of him like shout out Rick Barnes apparently all Rick Barnes needed was to have absolutely zero expectations on him all the injuries and he knows how to coach in March now yeah and the center for Tennessee who owes his name uh Plavich or something oh yeah I gotta look it up I that guy just coming out he was like you know what I'm gonna do I'm just gonna try to literally knock out Kyle Phil Palski just elbows all day Phil Palski got caught with a nasty elbow early and then he went back to his old bag of tricks elbowed some guy in the nipple on Duke knocked him down and they

called Duke for a blocking foul yeah so yeah I think it was um FAU's coach he said yeah it was Dusty May he said we're gonna have to study Australian rugby rules and get ready for the Valls yeah so he knows that it's gonna be there they're gonna come out there just try to knock him down it was just fun it was fun to watch a team just bully Duke around and Hank uh sorry for your blue devils you do have to get a cat now I do not uh but yeah it was an ugly game they got the the first elbow in the head that was the game yeah well you know what it was it was the game was decided well before that before the boys even stepped on the court because Shire wasn't wearing the sweatshirt yeah they were wearing the same sweaters different color black yeah kind of

were cool yeah the gray one was way better for their own funeral yeah he did he did so where does Duke go from here Hank I think like you said they gotta they gotta re re re recruit reload get some toughness get some toughness I'm willing to go down to Durham an elbow everyone on Duke if they need someone to to give them some game experience I'll just sit there and I'll just swing my elbows yeah I mean space it's not that wasn't Duke basketball Duke would never elbow or hit with a forearm what are their fiercest rivals in the face no no we never got that they gotta get that edge back they gotta get the edge back they gotta get it soft they were very soft but it was great it was great watching Duke lose it's always fun watching too that was a great

color match up to yeah the Tennessee orange and the Duke blue it was nice it was pleasant to watch my only complaint is I kind of needed John Shire to go a little deeper so that I could start my resume of hate there's nothing to hate about him right like him going out where Duke just gets physically bullied it it doesn't do you know what you can do already but still winning the ACC championship it's like it's still an okay season it's not it's not enough yeah it's not enough to hate though he wasn't ready for March yet though is the thing yeah if you what you can start with on John Shire you can just say like too much too soon he might be in over his head yeah I just needed Duke to go for like a little bit of a run a lead eight so I could he could do something

yeah I really need John Shire like John Shire is a really nice guy I need him to like hit a small child or something we can arrange to do something something maybe he needs to sit down take some no maybe if he gets what hit a small child maybe if he gets I like John Shire in the off season yeah I think he's just he's a classic coach good guy he's a great guy that's not gonna do anything yeah I don't think that'll ever happen I need him he's not gonna be cocky he's not gonna be John Shire's putting me in a bad spot right now because I'm like want to hate a guy who's a nice guy and I like I need him to do something so I have to so I don't want to feel bad about my hate for Duke maybe you should just start to like no I need him to like choke someone

I was gonna say maybe kick coach K's dog but that dog's been dead he's he did not take care of that dog remember that puppy that puppy was oh that I don't I don't recall the puppy yeah the puppy didn't the university like gift him a puppy yeah and he was just like oh cool and then he was like in like Hawaii the next day puppy was just sitting there time to train itself you think they gave one of the sweaters to miss K I don't know yeah I was 17 20 miss K one of the sweaters probably hard to get up I found John Shire gave him the puppy oh so he's such a nice guy but John no John Shire gave away his dog yeah miss K with those sweaters she'd look good those sweater puppies wearing wearing the sweaters

and nothing but the sweaters we'll put on the bonk list go ahead tough guy see this is like I feel like we're in the Sopranos right now like I like put put your hands up fight me like a man when when Tony beats the fuck out of uh uh Jackie April Jr in the bathroom yeah but put your hands on it's hard it's I was he that was right before they killed Jackie April yeah put your hands up fight me like a man like let me let me hate you it's hard to get up when you don't even make the sweet 16 like you said it's kind of just you know by by the time Thursday rolls around people will have forgotten about Duke yeah I already did it it's sad it's sad uh how about must pass Mr. March until we get to Sunday but

Mr. March and waiting yeah Mr. March he was he was awesome he's so energetic on the sidelines and then he took off his shirt after that was a great game great awesome game back and forth back and forth switching back and forth but after the game must goes up to the sidelines jumps in the crowd takes his shirt off and he looks good looks real must has been doing p90x or something he might be Keto because that's a that's a bod that won't quit yeah he looks good he's coach is great he is that he's a giant killer he's two years in a row he's taken down a one seed I just wish that after the game he had gone back on the court to scout the next game still shirtless yeah that would have been sick that because he was back out there yeah he was back

out there within maybe five minutes instantly he's ready to go but yeah I there's not I mean he's good for college basketball like he's a fun character and his teams like this is what gets you Mr. March and waiting your teams overperform when they get to March like Arkansas had a tough year a lot of injuries and now they're here and they're like hey we're two games away from the final four so tight aside we're talking about what what the next step in college basketball is going to be how it's going to become more like the NBA where maybe some teams are going to start realizing that seating doesn't matter that much right in the NCAA tournament doesn't start resting your guys the regular season doesn't matter and for Arkansas if you've got a great coach like

must as long as you get in you're not you're not you know a high seed anybody can win anything it's no matter what happens once you get in the tournament you're going to have to play some tough games to win a championship yeah so you can't really and you're not going to be able to like plan out in advance who you you're going to have because they're going to be upset to happen it's not going to be a straight path right so and it's really the only thing the seating matters is location and they've already kind of screwed that because we saw Houston that was a game on Saturday Houston had to play basically a road game at Auburn and Houston like it was a weird because we get to Saturday Purdue's already gone Kansas is gone and Houston's down 10 and a half

and you're like is this just the tournament where every one seed just loses because Alabama hadn't played yet and uh they were down 10 and a half and then they came out and they're like oh we're just gonna like be a boa constrictor and just strangle the life out of Auburn Auburn went four for 22 in the second half yeah the second half four field goals from Houston was was awesome child Calvin Samson he put together he actually adjusted yeah at halftime so credit to him we're having a debate during the game on how much Bruce Pearl weighs and you could tell me anywhere between 225 and 280 pounds what's his height I think he's 511 if I were to guess I'd say Bruce Pearl's five but he's like he's like a stout guy he's a stocky he seems like he's dense like he's got big bones

on official 511 and I think that if you if you he's like 220 he probably loses 20 pounds a game in sweat but he looks good he looked no I'm yeah I'm saying like he he's stout he wears it well so if you told me it's 220 I would believe you if you told me it was 280 I would also believe he probably has like a weirdo trainer and he's in the facility at like 430 in the morning doing all kinds of workouts yeah like that I also think you probably think he's smaller because he's around basketball players all the time yeah true good point he comes in he towers over us he's actually six five what the fuck yeah it's like me everyone thinks I'm short because I stay next to big cat all the time yeah you're actually six feet yeah um yeah but they squeezed the life out of him it was

an insane performance second half uh Houston we should talk about Princeton the other giant killer they went beat Arizona busted Jake's bracket Jake lost two of his final four teams in the first two days who'd you have three Indiana oh you have three oh now are you gonna say the thing that it's gonna make me mad yes I am okay it's gonna trigger me but go ahead and say it I have a perfect region he has a perfect region so far your eyes what oh in the breath yeah no yeah yeah wait that is that region that had a lot of upsets in it uh no it had just Arkansas that was the only okay everything else was let me ask something else does anyone else in this room have a perfect region yeah I do yeah actually have I have four perfect regions if you want to look okay mr 72 at chinacoc well

I mean what are you talking about he's calling cat Jake call cap on him cat Billy will you look at that real quick and tell me how many regions I have perfect four regions four regions thank you I have the perfect bracket going yeah so uh Jake you lost three out of yeah I understand it's an awful shitty bracket whoa but whoa but I have a perfect region there's nothing you can say to Jake whoa Jake whoa it's bad language I'm gonna back off because you're you seem like you're about to blow I have a pretty S bomb on me I have a perfect region I'm sure I'd like you to apologize to the listeners at home I'm sorry whoa do you consider yourself a man of faith yes he drives a left yeah he's got a perfect region uh Princeton is absolutely killing offensive rebounds that's the

key they're getting second chance shots they have uh I think they have 29 offensive rebounds through two games and they were mazu was supposed to have just an insane advantage in terms of athleticism and the pace and everything and print it wasn't even a game they kicked the shit out of them I want to read to you a paragraph that's so perfect because whenever we have an ivy league school go deep in the tournament it's like obviously everyone in the media went to an ivy league school so they just love talking about the ivy league school uh this is from the New York Times the first paragraph about about uh Princeton Blake Peters a sophomore guard for Princeton plays Spanish classical guitar speaks fluent Mandarin and it turns out is as tough as nails when his tigers

have a chance to advance to the round of 16 you know what that guy sounds like he sounds like uh in in a romantic comedy the lovable main character breaks up with his girlfriend and then she starts dating this guy yeah he went he played basketball at Princeton he plays flamenco guitar yeah and he's exactly and he's a trader on wall street also yeah exactly he's rich as fuck by the way Jamie Dixon but he can't you know what he can't make her laugh yeah yeah he that's exactly it Princeton uh all the nerds very nice route for Princeton Jamie Dixon just told TCU to stop fouling and they decided to foul in the spread was foreign so I'm gonna lose that was not fun he literally said stop fouling and they kept fouling that stuff I took TCU money line yeah

that ship had sailed that's that was an unfortunate ending to a great game Gonzaga goes to a street 16 probably the deepest they've ever been for the first time ever yeah that was such bullshit that they just said stop fouling give me a prayer give me a prayer three he's gonna shoot it he's gonna shoot it he's gonna shoot it that was it I hope everyone's watching are they gonna review that I hope everyone's watching you got it on YouTube what a way to end that game what a way to end the weekend nothing better than ending with a win holy shit that was awesome TCU was plus four they were at all six and they and he just dribbled the ball up or let the ball roll all the way up Hank you just missed an all

time moment did you have it I had a month yeah fuck congrats big cup thank you it's good to win one like that he's at a sweet 16 with momentum I haven't won one like that all tournament it feels like except if they got completely the luckiest win of my life and Memphis just got absolutely screwed you guys both had money line yeah and I had Memphis too fuck and you had Purdue I did have Purdue I deserve all the bad things remember looking over to you yeah during the Purdue game and you were seething with rage I might have made one of the biggest mistakes of my life gambling wise with the exception of the doink by betting on all the all the one seeds in the two seeds I think next year I'm going to take every one and two seed money line or every 15 and 16 seed money

line yeah and just try to turn this around because this is that was a miserable experience never root never root for Goliath I want I want to get back to Princeton real quick but I want to tweet out this clip because that was an all-time cover so let's do the March Madness recap from Jack links we all have a wild side feed it with meat eating jack links lets you unleash your inner beast feed your wild side with jack links we've been eating jack links all weekend we had sasquatch with us the rage room it was incredible uh so wait Jake are you leaving to go to the Titus show yes so both give us your jack links recap both give it to jack links recap I love seeing a 15 and a 16 seed win in the ncaa tournament for the first time ever six for second

time a 16s one ever obviously on the men's side but at the end of the day we talked about it before we still have some big time big name teams despite the blue bloods being out Alabama Houston uh I am very excited for the west region I think that is the best uh sweet 16 matchups between Arkansas UCLA excuse me Arkansas Yukon UCLA Gonzaga rematch with that buzzer beater in the final four yeah two years ago storyline yeah and then moss versus hurley sign me up all right have a great rest of the show definitely all right actually Billy I'll wait I have a row back question for you later so we'll do your full recap after Hank were you using the restroom yeah you had to go you had to go poop no I don't know the I don't know if it was the dinner we got but I just got a

weird like hot flash stomach thing did you poop no what'd you do I like puked a little bit like dry what you look so green yeah I just got like super sweaty and then I just like had to like you're the puked guy I mean I got I don't know what do you want me to say no I think you pooped I would admit it if I pooped I have no problem pooping you uh you missed Jake dropped a shit on us whoa he got very triggered because he has a perfect region this region right here that literally only upset was Arkansas over Kansas so he's lost three out of four final four teams but he keeps saying why have a perfect region yeah that means nothing right but he keeps saying what does anyone else have a perfect region that's not even a one-year bracket no no and then he

tried to show us that he was in like 10th place it's like but you don't have any points left but that's like Charles Barkley's he his bracket is completely messed up right now and I think he has that same perfect region yeah yeah that's exactly yeah that's what I said to Jake I was like you don't know ball I was like yeah Charles Barkley's entire it was very funny every time they showed him he just had to keep on xing out every single spot in his bracket except for that region that region has to have the most points yep you picked one upset you got the perfect region Arkansas over Kansas um okay back to Princeton real quick uh this guy Mitch Henderson their coach he's so Princeton because he went to Princeton he was on the team to beat UCLA and like I think

you and IPFT share the same memories of like we think Princeton back to our cut yep that one game against UCLA unfortunately this is just a sign to never like go back into the past and look up old things what was the score of that UCLA Princeton game I have no idea okay because I remember it is like one of like because it was UCLA won the tournament the year before Tyus edney coast to coast all-time moment uh I can't remember what round that was in they lose to Princeton next year also all-time moment and I was thinking like I remember that game so vividly it was such a great game yeah final score was 43-41 oh that's sick it's like damn it that was one of my favorite tournament games 43-41 because we just remember the backdoor cut they the backdoor cut was so

revolutionary it was back in 1996 it was because no coach has thought no no coach had thought to have their player just straight up run at the basket and then receive a pass yeah it broke basketball but you know what I distinctly remember how Princeton would run that play too because they would tell their guards just dribble the ball with one hand and don't pick it up with two hands before passing it throw it with one hand off the dribble yeah and everybody's like what the what is this razzle dazzle and I remember they were just they were showing it over and over the replays like look at what Princeton's doing they're fucking them up with the backdoor cut and again like if you asked me for like iconic moments in my head for the tournament like as a

kid that was one of them 43-41 well brutal we probably would have the over in that game yeah it also I watched they had like a full game broadcast that I just peeped at and I forgot that like you would just watch stretches of basketball games without the score on the on the tv screen yeah you had to rely on the announcer to update you yeah you also remember having to call a number after games were over like in the middle of the night to try to get what the scores were yeah oh yeah you'd have to call the sports machine yeah you'd have to call the score number yeah because then you'd have to print it in the paper then you'd have to wait for 10 15 minutes as they read every single score for every single game until he got to yours world that was that

that was that segment but yeah that was 43-41 but yeah Princeton is like I don't they might just be good like you know FDU they were good but also they got they met FAU and lost and it was like oh shit that's probably what to expect Princeton might just be good the way they beat Arizona and then they just fucking killed Missouri like kill them if you can if you can bang with the big boys and box them out and get offense rebounds you can beat anybody yeah and now they play Creighton which will be I don't know two mid majors mid majors going battling it out yeah I mean I I think if you can if you can beat a power five school like Mizzou Princeton should be able to wipe out a mid major like Creighton yes absolutely absolutely um okay should we go to uh Alabama

killed uh Maryland sorry Scott Van Peltel Scott Van Peltel had a great weekend with Edwin Diaz's injury so it's it's he can't I can't have it all three of his logos were spinning yeah he can't you can't have it all uh UCLA is still alive max even though every time UCLA plays an injury happens he literally said he's fine he said that he's fine which sounds exactly like what max would say if you were to just ask max in the post game interview max how do you think he is fine he's fine he's fine he's fine it's fine if he's lost one Super Bowl it's fine if he just repeats that he's fine enough yeah it'll be fine so um I'm gonna put on my my uh what are the doctors wear stethoscopes yeah put on my my PMT stethoscope and say that his ankle is very very swollen yeah

and his ankle is very very badly sprained yeah so he probably won't be fine he won't be fine at game time yeah he might be like half fine yeah you didn't hear what he said what he said he said that he's fine okay he's fine he's fine he's totally fine uh we should also mention I'm just glad that northwestern lost yeah northwestern loss Darren Ravel did the fucking Tyson tattoo and like just bum me out whenever I see his tweets honestly you ever listen to him talk I wish he would bite my ear off yeah I bet he's just bums me out bums me out um the uh yeah northwestern loss UCLA is marching on we should say because another great wrinkle of the tournament you know those memes like guys will sit around and just name baseball players for hours yeah chef blouser yeah

the uh this happens with the tournament where we just get names and we keep them forever and Andrew frunk is forever in our lord he's gonna be a name for sure he had one game where eight for ten he he unfortunately didn't shoot as well on saturday night but god damn it do I love that kid yeah it might be like 25 I think it's 24 it was a very confusing game plan that they had him running against against texas yeah where uh he would just stand on the perimeter and they were guarding him almost like a box in one where even when the lane was getting collapsed their guy would stay out on him to make sure he didn't get an outlet pass turns out that's that's funk's game for the most part yeah his catch and shoot on the perimeter so uh they kind of neutralize that yes texas is

just way more athletic texas is texas is very very good texas is going to go against zavier in uh the uh midwest which has the one two three and five still left so that's it's funny to me how how like all these new heads to basketball the casuals drop in and the NCAA tournament and they're like whoa texas's coach looks a lot like gus fring yeah bad and i'm like I knew that a month ago man come on get with the program uh chris beard yeah yeah yeah that's the coach uh but uh yeah andrew funk we love you we love you yeah like we we did have some andrew funk moment for i or thursday was fantastic saturday could have been an all-time moment if he hit that last shot were you saying about him or somebody else that funk is definitely going to be a dozen trivia

question yeah yeah yeah went to Penn State yeah had that one game he had an iconic moment yeah this Penn State player went eight for ten from three in the first round and you'll be like ah fuck oh that's close no yeah yeah and then jeff will be like nope sorry that's not it and be like no actually well no if it's your team he'll give you credit for that if it's frank's team he won't he won't yeah he'd be like sorry that wasn't close enough but if it was your team be like fuck yeah no you said funk uh okay let's do sunday games uh it's brought to you by our friends at peloton if you're listening to this right now and you watch games all weekend you probably need a peloton so say goodbye to the boring workouts pft you've been on your peloton i so i i just talked about

how i was only able to do a quarter mile run on saturday this morning i got on the peloton did a full bike ride because it's easier you stay more it occupies your mind yeah you got the live leaderboard you're competing against people i already knew i was kicking dave's ass on the treadmill but i saw the the uh lineup of names i was like you know what i can do this full ride yeah so you've been doing the peloton hank you've been doing the peloton yeah i'm gonna get back on my grind i gotta get back in the buns of anarchy though yeah i'm gonna be this week wait who's your favorite teacher again uh kennel tool yeah i was your second third third favorite i pretty much is very between those okay all right well peloton is more than just a bike company they actually make

a treadmill in a row or two uh i i've been on the uh peloton treadmill it is awesome you can discover a whole new world of exciting classes that change working out from another dreaded task to something you want to stick with it's hard to find the motivation to move when you see so many of the same boring workouts that's why peloton gamified the workout experience with lane brakes now you can pedal to crush levels move to your own beat in life and in your workouts you can find what gets you moving with everything from metal rides to edm walks or scenic row through san diego i love the peloton uh treadmill because sometimes you don't feel like running you can do a hike they'll do like a hike where you change the the level where you're walking up hill then

you're going downhill and they'll keep it very like by the end of it you've walked for 45 minutes you're like whoa i've burned 800 calories not ruled so try peloton tread row or bikes risk free with a 30 day home trial new members only not available in remote locations see additional terms at one peloton dot com slash home trial all right sunday sunday sunday sunday the day that we're in uh should we talk about mr march the official mr march we probably should i have a question for you okay because people are asking no no no no no i think tom is those underrated i think he's underrated as a head coach for a while he got so overrated that now he became underrated yeah as a head coach mr march himself he seems to do this every single year and you know for the

record when i said tom is oh might be overrated i was saying to squad on that take yeah so i didn't believe it when i said it yeah i'm just declaring that i'm gonna be the first i'm gonna be the first person yeah to say it so when the discussion eventually happens i was there before all you guys yes i i'm gonna have to wait another probably five or six years for that to come true i i deserve a little criticism too because i owe stanford steve sixteen hundred dollars if they go to the final four because i did make that bet with him but tom is oh delivered again he's been to the tournament 25 straight years this is his 15th sweet 16 he also broke the record today 16 times he is one as an under seated team so which is pretty crazy to think about that like he just

breaks every bracket maybe he's mr bracket breaker he might be that's really what it is i i saw i saw smiling during a game today and just completely animated with positive energy and you know what i love about iso is even when he's like screaming as players and you can ask most of his former players and they'll be like yeah he coaches his hard but that's kind of a test for us if you can handle being coached by him it makes you better so he'll like he'll break his players down during games he gets mad he holds people accountable and then right after the game's over he snaps the second jayme urdall starts interviewing him yeah and he just turns into like a grandpa cracking jokes with her immediately yes completely changes but yeah this is this is tom is oh being

tom is oh why why are we surprised anymore when tom is oh does this march he has uh more sweet 16s than all but 17 programs so 17 programs in ncba basketball he has more than everyone else uh and then he has more sweet 16s than 10 of the 12 teams in the big 10 so indiana and michigan are the only programs that have more sweet 16s than tom is oh as a person it's pretty crazy i i do think we probably underrate him i know that he he has to get that second title to like get into that rarefied air because second title is really where you know i mean like it just you look at the list of guys one one title there's a lot of guys then you get to second it's a laundry list of the best coaches in the game not saying he's not one of them but second would make his resume unassailed the real

question becomes better or worse coach than calipari well so calipari he's got certainly he has more than one title he only has one we were we were and this is going to suck for kentucky fans because they not only lost to k state today but uh we got into the conversation that if calipari had won that 2015 title where wisconsin beat him in the final 40 had done it as an undefeated team he would be like untouchable in his entire resume yeah an undefeated team two national titles all time great yeah all all time great but uh it's funny you bring him up because i just was i was like curious because i think what tom is oh does better than any other coach he he it's the quick turn around so i think it was only four times uh in the tournament has he only won one exactly one game either he

basically either gets bounced right away or he gets a sweet 16 there's kind of no middle ground he's so good at the turn around coaching and he also just coaches teams that maybe don't have the top end talent that everyone else has the blue bloods have i looked it up michigan state in tom is those time has four lottery picks so jaren jackson miles bridges denzel valentine shout out the polls for that pick uh and jason richardson in that same time duke has 25 lottery picks cowl at kentucky which is only going back to 2009 so this is a 1995 to count so it's like double the year's iso cowl has 22 kansas with bill self since 2003 has 13 and unc with roy since 2003 has 12 so it's pretty crazy how many of these schools have this top end elite nba talent

and tom iso doesn't have that and he's just putting together a resume every single march yeah 24 and 7 on games with one day rest yeah her esp that's coaching mike greenberg that's coaching it's coaching he's a great coach yeah no one ever said that he was a bad coach i've no i've never said that tom has never said that coach never said i just said that someday somebody will say that he's overrated and i just wanted to beat that person to punch yeah yeah um okay so mr march advances kentucky loses that was tough uh shon miller and zavier back to the sweet 16 i was looking it up archie miller really doesn't get enough credit for being like the dumb dumb brother because his resume versus brother sucks it's where it sucks for him so

shon miller he's gonna he's gonna get another job soon right like he's gonna i don't know you do you think he's gonna stay at zavier because that's where he started you know what i mean like he went zavier and then he went obviously to arizona and maybe it's one of those things where it's like hey i got a good gig here play in a power conference he probably is psyched to not be out in that arizona heat all the time sweating yeah sweating his balls off i don't know that might be one of those situations where he's like this is this is home i'm good like you know because the the the expectations are clearly different at zavier and he exceeds them every time yep uh people are gonna get mad i keep saying xavier xavier yeah so zavier zavier but yeah he went he was at zavier

in from early 2000s went to arizona for a long time obviously didn't end great and now he's back zavier like why not just be there those those xavier teams from the early 2000s were fun to watch so yeah they're uh good basketball teams so he they played against pittsburgh today who wore their black jerseys again their first loss where shon miller played wearing the black jerseys yep uh and it's so funny when they put them on because they're just trying to look like the basketball version of the Steelers yep which i love it's like we'll break these out when we will play renegade yeah and then that way people from pittsburgh will pay that's really if you want to get if you want to do numbers in pittsburgh just have black and yellow be your team colors

for any sport it's and yeah now you now you're the basketball Steelers it's the greatest thing any city's ever done i've said it before but like when when the pirates suck or the penguins suck the fans of pittsburgh can sit there like in the middle of july and just look out on the field and be like Steelers Steelers coming like i'm just like you smell that thinking about the Steelers Steelers they're probably that's all you can do like it's it's a genius genius thing they've done they're probably pumped to have the pirates suck to a certain extent because it's just like well you know what we don't have to we don't have to waste our time and mental energy focusing on a sport and a team that's not the Steelers yeah it's like the Homer Simpson like Bart girl Bart

yeah the the pittsburgh just has like baseball Steelers hockey Steelers basketball Steelers that's good they're all they're all Steelers yeah or what was it stop that was saying like uh like that's white Lamar yeah right that's short you can just look at it just like it's Steelers it's everything you see in pittsburgh which is smart because that's the team uh but yeah their bridges are Steelers yeah like everything they're like Steelers i'm convinced that they pay the bridges after they had the football i mean the majority of people in pittsburgh just drive around all the time just in their brain they're just like Steelers Steelers Steelers Steelers all the time which that's a great life to have yeah honestly respect yeah i wish i could do that so much respect uh

all right the uh uconn uconn looks good danie hurley vs mus in the second round's gonna oh Hank's going to puke again oh hanky oh no he looks he looks he looks white number one oh wait he's good he might do number three he just can puke at the same time he might take a screenshot do you think this is soft by hank max uh i just hope he doesn't have a stomach bug and get it gets us sick oh geez i don't believe in stomach bugs i'm stronger than that i'm stronger than that i'm way stronger the stomach bugs are so bad yeah but you can't catch a stomach bug from somebody unless you like eat their puke i feel like that's like the easiest thing to catch from somebody no i've pft's right yeah i've gotten three stomach bugs in my life is all because i ate someone else's

puke yep like a dog i mistook it for my own one time i had a lick of poop but that was it i was that was fine i've never i i i can't remember the last time i caught a stomach bug i'll get a cold this is such a bad segment no no no no i'll listen i'll catch a cold we're not gonna have a show on wednesday i'll catch a cold i'll i'll catch a cough i'll get a fever sometimes i don't remember the last little herpy i started puking you're there i think i'm clean on that actually no you catch one yeah somehow it happens yeah hey god damn uh yeah dany hurley vs musk is gonna be awesome i yukon yukon looks awesome second half yukon yukon sleeper national title team right now i they're one of them i have i have three futures in in the sweet 16 my mystery

team has been eliminated people did figure it out it was kentucky because remember i promised harvey and when we were on kentucky sports radio if kentucky won i'd split it with him harvey if you're listening to this you would have had a hundred thousand dollars because i got them at 55 to one so that sucks for you but yeah yukon looks good uh i'm trying the kraton looks good there was a lot of good games and then we had fdu fall short they fucking fought so god damn hard it was i love those kids i love those we should talk a little bit about kansas state yeah no kansas state yeah no they kansas state's purple the lavender pops it's beautiful it's a thing of beauty and they have my my favorite player of the tournament yes in mckell noelle he just bombs that kid is

awesome that kid is so much fun to watch not only does he bomb he crosses people up he's maybe the best passer in the tournament also he's throwing like behind his head alley hoops to people on a dime this kid is insane to watch i fucking love watching him play i hope i hope they keep winning because again that's another short king the the short kings are that they are the market inefficiency right now and kansas state as an institution they should just market entirely to short kings yes because what's his name duce fawn yep they're running back five five yep and then darin sprawls he's probably five five five six they're the officially that's just older juce fawn yeah older duce fawn they're the official college of short people yes respect or actually

technically perfectly averaged because yes i think he's five foot nine i think uh noelle is five nine right yeah that was but it was it was a very tight game ostrachie way had i think 18 rebounds it was everyone knew going into that game kids they can't like do anything about his rebounding and they just couldn't all game i'm gonna miss him in college basketball yeah we might have one more year bring him i'll let you know when i go to keeneland and i see him at jeff rubies i'm like oh you're back again he's like it's actually my third year yeah so uh but yeah noelle that game was so tight and then at the end of the game he's like yeah i'm gonna win this game and i'm just gonna start bombing and in a tournament that has been the worst shooting tournament ever it was something

it's basically shifted how our eyes work where if if a player hits a like perfect three swish it's like the most like brought tears to my eyes when he started hitting him it's like i've never seen shots go in before yeah and also shout out willy the wildcat kansas states mascot um a lot of people saw him they're like whoa they what what happened to the rest of his body no that's what willy does in football season he wears pads because that's what the players way where and then in basketball season he just wears a jersey and he's got his human arms and human legs sticking out to the side yes so i i went on a deep dive and started watching a bunch of willy the wildcat videos okay from football season before every game he used to just they used to dress one of their

like drill team guys or dance team guys up as the mascot from the opponents team okay and then willy would just lay him out like jackie's style at midfield and they had to stop doing it because he gave a kid a seizure because he hit him so hard yes but that's willy baby shout out willy uh also kansas states got a little touch a team of destiny because they have keonte johnson remember who uh collapsed for florida last year yep and it was a very scary situation he's now on kansas state maybe a little like that will be a story that people write about if they make was that was that last year or two years ago it might have been two years ago but yeah it was bad yeah i think it was 2020 yeah it was that was a very scary situation but yeah he is on kansas state and he's a very

good player and they might have that team of destiny who knows i'm rooting for him who knows yeah i'm rooting for keonte johnson too uh okay so let's see wait was it knows last year i think because he only played one game last year all covid years all blend together we don't really understand how time happened the last yeah three years oh no it was uh no it was 2020 yeah two years ago that's two two seasons ago yeah two seasons yeah damn time doesn't so wait this might be it fucks me up this might be a clone keonte johnson yeah billy it was actually before the vaccine even existed oh so you can't blame it on the vaccine or maybe they maybe there's an experimental vaccine they gave him okay oh thanks back hey oh you do look you look so white you look weird

you look so weird yeah i don't know i think did you puke again yeah the right did you save any that we could eat uh i mean that's something to trash okay you're puking the trash you couldn't make it to the bathroom no oh my god yeah i just got like hot hot sweats hot flashes you look like you got jaundice going on right now i feel good there is something about like when you just you feel good it feels better well no that is i was feeling weird and then i just got like i don't know i'm sweating though what you eat i had a burrito with spicy rice oh no wait with the rice with spicy or the sauce in the burrito it's not spicy i don't know i mean i don't know what what type of rice it was but hey does it have anything to do with the fact that the seltzer in third place now

yeah that's a that's a mathematical anomaly that's an interesting thing for you to bring up i think you to talk hey those are two words i never thought i'd hear you say i'm a mathematical anomaly okay go on first of all can you explain to me what a mathematical anomaly is it's just something that doesn't make sense the numbers don't add up you know okay x plus y doesn't equal z for some reason okay uh but the cell that's wait wait those are letters you just said yeah i know you know math though math seven seven okay yeah exactly uh they have a better record than they have the tiebreaker so the third place thing doesn't make a lot of sense the Celtics have a better record than the sixers what do you mean better record but then why are they above them they've got they have one

more loss than the sixers and that's not a better record their win percentage is lower than the sixers yeah so if you have one more loss that's not a better record yeah because if the sixers win all the rest of their games yeah the sixers are the two seed yeah they control their own destiny i know i'm not a world-renowned educated person but maybe maybe billy you could tell me which of these two numbers is higher 686 or 681 686 is higher okay mystery team that was the sixers all right i mean i have one billy okay okay i'm gonna stat off which one's higher 49 or 48 49 is higher okay i'm gonna counter that with another mystery stat which one is higher 22 or 23 23 so that was the Celtics losses that means that they are basically even i think there's

the lost column is how you go at all the tiebreaker well you guys have a win streak right you guys have won eight no because that's the thing if they're if well you're saying if both oh no there's a six you have literally no color in your face right now i'm i'm struggling i'm fighting through adversity right now you're doing translucent face what i'm saying though well you you look like a ghost let me say oh yeah i mean you look like a ghost that's a rough you look like i don't know i don't know if you guys were cutting to me earlier but i was like internally just like what is going on well you hobbled off to go puke yeah it was bad um if well you're saying doesn't make sense though because if the Celtics win the rest of their games and the sixers win the rest of their games yeah the

Celtics have the tiebreaker no no no you don't understand because the sixers will have more wins yeah because the Celtics right now won't played more yeah they will yes because hang sixers factor fiction i'll put in terms you can understand factor fiction if the sixers win the rest of their games they that means that they would have no more losses right right season 22 losses okay so factor fiction if the Celtics win the rest of their games they will also have no more losses that would mean yeah that's the fact that would mean that the the Celtics would have one more loss on the season than the sixers would you go up the loss column not the win column all right fine backs any response to that uh no i mean mba or bill simon said that the sixers are

looking forward to seeing the Celtics in the playoffs which definitely won't come back to bite them oh no that was but i think that simons just making up false reports i don't think i don't think he would do that so these are going through though they're not playing well jason tatum's uh specifically not playing well it's just tough you know coaching change trying to live up to to champion you've had the same coach all year no i know but it i'm saying you know obviously you compared this season the last season the last season they made a championship run it's just you know higher higher standards and now brad stevens might be going to purdue i don't think that's things are falling apart riko bosco did report that's the first call they have to make

i think yeah i mean you call brad stevens all the time everyone should everyone everyone should call brad stevens if you have like a opening in middle school basketball brad stevens should be your first make him say no to imagine if you got a call for every coach opening ever he should brad stevens all right other games from uh sunday uh yeah fdu they tried really hard that was an exciting they fought to the end because that like you can lose when you lose like saint peter's lost to u and c last year you're like all right the cinderella run had to end after you lost fighting to the very end and they almost they they were winning that game with like four minutes left they went out like like champs they missed a lot of open shots they missed some open threes they

probably wish they had back they missed some layups they wish that they had back we should credit f a u john l davis had 25 points 10 rebounds five assists five steals first time in ncda tournament that anybody's ever had that style that's pretty cool so pretty good game for him and f a u i've i've said at least once on this show if i had to do college all over again knowing what i know now i think i would go to f a u f a because of the campus where it's at you're in bokeh rattan you your perspective changes a little bit you realize what would be the most fun college experience it would either be go to a big state school that has massive football and basketball programs or just go live in bokeh for four years and have the time of your life yeah and dusty mays just a

great name made up name totally totally his that's a stripper name sounds like a wrestler there's no way there's no way but stripper wrestlers yeah there's no way that's his real name yeah or an old like grandma porn star yeah dusty may but it's ma e yeah we're now combining yeah every basically every name dusty roads and then yeah he's he's a stripper porn star old person yep fake name though miami shout out miami coach l gets him to the sweet 16 indiana really had a moment here where they could have just taken it like they they beat perdu twice this year perdu loses a 16 seed if indiana got into the sweet 16 and they could have talked for an entire week about how they went to sweet 16 is a four seed and perdu lost in the first round is a one seed that would have been nice for

them yeah it's uh indiana still they like to think that they're back or on the precipice of being back all the time yeah and if they go into a sweet 16 then you can make the case indiana basketball is back they are they're the only blue blood team that i think doesn't have the color blue yeah in their scheme right going through the list in my head i think that they are yeah u n c uh duke u c l a Michigan state now i think they are bill nova although i i think if is a wins a second championship i think that i think michigan state could take the blue blood mantle away from indiana yeah if they have a perfect seat next coach have a perfect season they inherit indiana's blue bloodness i also hope trace jackson davis i don't think he has he might have a year left i think he

has a year left he's like 23 but i hope he stays because that's a fun he's a fun college basketball player yeah there was there was one player on memphis who's 26 years old yeah 26 uh he's older than joe burrow is that's illegal and he he had four fouls with 13 minutes left in the game or it was more than that penny hardaway put him back in with 13 minutes left in the game all-time ballsy move by penny i i was very i was upset that that uh that memphis lost yeah they're a fun team to watch yeah and then ken zaga ended the night with a win comeback win against tcu ken zaga still got it true timmy going for he has another year which is crazy yeah he does actually have another year and he said he's not coming back but he could transfer

he could transfer if i i don't understand why players like if you have another year and you're really good and you're in a smaller school why wouldn't you just transfer to like u n c or something i think true that'd be amazing if true to me transfer to a big state school right like away for like all the connections there yeah go to Notre Dame alumni will take care of you for the rest of your life that's what they always say yeah i'd transfer to an 80-year degree i would transfer to f a u yeah and just hang out on the beach and just get get to the tournament there or hawaii Toledo why don't more players just go to college in hawaii that's a good question low key hurt it sucks i actually had this conversation over the week i feel like state or the universe no like

her hawaii sucks oh because the state is awesome yeah it's great but her the university sucks what about it if you're like not from hawaii they don't fuck with you oh god but if you're really sick at sports they probably do fuck with you that's kind of the equalizer in life i mean colt brennan seemed to really enjoy hawaii so much that he got the state of hawaii like died into the side of his head isn't he hawaii no i don't think he was no i think he's also passed away so r.a.p colt brennan yeah r.a.p thoughts and prayers jake will probably use his thoughts and prayers just so we stub their toe yeah we're gonna use from california yeah yeah that's hawaii jason but if you're good at sports it equalizes everything at life true everyone likes to do

it as good at sports yeah drew timmy go to hawaii why not i would yeah just have an awesome time maybe get some n.i.l. shit can you transfer mid season i don't think so i don't think you play you can you can you can like yeah it's okay so i would i would go to f.a.u or no i would go to hawaii wait i go to f.a.u play there and then transfer to hawaii for like the last two months of my collegiate career yeah i like that just get my degree there so we have our sweet 16 um awesome games i'm very excited for this is the worst four days in the four three and a half days in the sports calendar because you wake up on monday and you're like what's life without being able to watch basketball all day oh i'm i'm sad that jake's not here right now because i have something pretty wild oh yeah i got

i got a wild stat coming up give it to us tennessee f.a.u they're playing thursday at the mecca at msg yep the two athletic directors of these two schools they're brothers what how wild is that that is wild they're they're white brothers which when i first saw that written out i was a little bit confused as to what that meant like is this a rachel last name white is it a dolezal situation yeah yeah they're they're what uh danny and brian white yeah athletic directors wow that's wild they gotta have a bet their mom has to be like we're in the double like a suit breast with two different colors yes like the kelsie yeah fuck they should send each other a transfer yeah oh i like that or no the winner gets the best player yeah oh dude f.a yeah that'd be sick we already know

he can throw an orange 106 yards yeah if tennessee loses f.a u gets joe melton if tennessee wins tennessee gets uh lane kiffins recruiting tactics that he probably left behind his book wait they both had lane kiffin yeah that's true but the updated one okay the good yeah it's a good one the one that's that's that's getting Ole Miss going got it uh okay uh last thing for the tournament the roback question rhoback.com use code take for 20% off your first purchase i'm wearing the joggers right now i've worn them all weekend they're the absolute best q zips polos hoodies everything at roback.com last question billy we weren't with you all weekend what'd you think about the tournament it was a hell of a time to bet major underdogs yeah they all fucking hit and like it was wild

i mean this is a salt on pfd i know like i bet against perdu just like it's a joke and it's a bit it was like it was like plus 1200 yeah i bet i bet on perdu as a bit yeah i bet against them as a bit i mean i paid my whole bar tab off of a $10 bet it was insane really sick but round round for the boys round for the boys okay what else how much was your bar tab uh like a hundred bucks that's like when your doctor asks you how much you drink yeah you have to do a second to do the lie math yeah how was how was st patrick's day it was sick yeah and the games were awesome watching in the bars like all the like so many great games yeah like everyone's going nuts what'd you do on st patrick's day uh drink yeah yeah hell yeah that rules are you still wearing your same is that the

shirt that i wore i literally came straight from st patrick's day here it's it's wait right it was st patrick's day yeah but like it's a whole weekend it's march 20 i came straight from the parade to here you came straight from st patrick's day i literally weren't the celebrations here last weekend too yeah no i was in south i went to south station then i went to penn station now i'm here oh you're in boston yeah oh you were there today in boston yeah so you you literally did just come straight i just came straight from st patrick's day how many days was your st patrick's day this weekend three that's normal that's toned down that was better than last year yeah did you have any any fights that you witnessed that you didn't get in nope nope okay good didn't witness any crimes this

weekend nice that's that's a plus that's that's a lie it's a lie that you didn't witness any crimes because i could just imagine billy i witnessed several crimes yeah yeah also i just imagined billy being like i didn't witness any crimes he just robbed someone well with his eyes closed it's like i didn't witness it didn't happen all right so what else from the tournament princeton going on a run was awesome yeah you respect them because of the education thing yeah they're they're smart yeah like that whole f a u part you were just sitting there like but then you'd have a degree from f a u gross you chill by the beach would be chill yeah yeah but then you have a degree from f a u i mean that's pretty good yeah what what's like what's the

degree at f a u i think it's fine like you know i'm probably fine it doesn't matter i'm gonna let anybody in on a secret yeah it it honestly doesn't matter none of it matters and pretty soon it's not gonna matter whether or not you even went to college facts yeah college is kind of whoa is this a change billy no i mean i like honestly thinking back on it i probably need to go to college yeah the only thing college is good for you could have been radicalized as an 18 year old going to college is good it's good to just get out of your house for a while and and it's like a halfway home to becoming an adult i mean i guess it's yeah billy is like the goodwill hunting where he's like someday you'll wake up and you learn you could have you could have learned all

that from a tick tock yeah exactly that's where i got my degree all right what else it was dope that was it all right that's we put a quote card for billy there and suddenly tournament recap it was dope i mean just like it was like such a great time for parlays just like chalk yes parlays yeah wait no not chalk yes parlays you just you started this whole thing out by saying that you bet all the underdogs well i bet all the underdogs and then i just put like parlays together with just like all the easy picks oh except per due sounds like you kind of actually like this it was like the mid picks it was really fun really i like having actually gotten into gambling on march madness until this year like really hard and it was awesome what's your system because it sounds like

i you want to hear this system it sounds like you picked all the underdogs but then you also parlayed all the favorites all the overdogs that won exactly yeah you're genius so at some points like for example i had per due in a parlay but i also had and it just all worked out yeah oh you bet both sides he broke vegas i always beat vegas yeah we figured this out last year if you bet both sides you can't lose yep that's a fact you cash tickets either way actually that would be a sound investment strategy to just bet both sides of every single game and then end up losing what you probably miss out on what 10 percent yeah you'd lose 10 percent every bet listen i better than normal i've i've hit the all button at the racetrack before sometimes you

got to see one go through the hoop no but if you put ten dollars on firman and then ten dollars on a parlay that includes per due of virginia yeah one's gonna yeah you broke vegas go up bringing down the house no but really football still you're breaking my brain right now because if you bet if you bet on firman this is the entire spreadsheet thing but then you bet on it's spreadsheet due out in the wild in a parlay with other you're not guaranteed that that one of those two is going to win yes you are no you know because they play firman played uva and per due played against uh fd oh that's what i meant you put it on fdu and you put it on god okay yeah all right yeah i'm sorry that i doubted you yeah uh billy we should also rogers yeah dude fucking awesome right yeah that's

awesome very awesome kind of worried though because it's not like official yeah there's like a leverage situation it's made he says he's coming he he probably shouldn't have gone on national youtube and said that out loud yeah so i'm happy they gotta figure it out yeah no he's gotta figure it out and then he like bodied shifter i mean he's coming out swinging i mean this is either like this is gonna go down in uh in jersey like like fucking it's gonna be really really bad or it's gonna be really really awesome and this if you ever thought it would be like to interview someone coming straight from st paterson i'd say it's going great i have to build his credit i don't it's gonna be like the hindenburg yeah another new jersey crash or it's going to be like awesome or the or tony soprano

yeah or a great blimp flight uneventful yeah the good year yeah it's either going to be a good year or the hindenburg exactly blip talk there we go now don't say don't say boom oh my god what is this thing right now that's a classic when we had when we had stingray steve narrating national tragedies oh and he goes and all right here we go and it's the hindenburg oh no the humanity look at all the humanity oh man oh that was a classic throwback uh okay should we do who's back and then we have a monday reading as well so uh pietz you got a couple ads and we'll do who's back yes i absolutely i want to talk to you about pupparoni i love pupparoni um billy actually i have a question for you because all these other guys were here when i asked this

nationals all four of our wins were on the road in houston so of course it would have been that loud just for the record but you were leading in games at home i don't think that we were ever we got smoked in most of those games okay uh playing the winner of japan versus mexico tonight so if japan wins we show hey uh and that'll be unbelievable there was some so people were putting up stats talking you know comparing the world baseball classic to regular baseball and kind of pointing out how bad baseball is at promoting and social media and all that uh the trade turner had seven million views in 15 hours show hey had a home run off the scoreboard earlier in the week that had seven and a half million views erin judges 62nd home run had two three

million views and brice harbour brice harbour game five nlcs home run had two and a half million views so we uh on thursday we talked about everyone dies and my take was simply like march madness is going on i'm not going to watch the world baseball classic but if you if someone likes it cool good for them different strokes for different folks now that we're in the final i'm fucking all in yeah we've been very clear about our stance on this which is if the us starts to win and the flag starts to advance through the brackets then we're like yeah fuck yeah usa let's do it and also the atmosphere does look incredible yeah it looks like a lot of fun at these baseball games yes so yes we are rooting for for usa i hope it's against japan yep just so

i can enter the uh empty the clip for more world war two jokes on the next podcast so looking forward to that hopefully okay that's your who's back spanish american jokes just don't hit the same no uh and rick patino yeah big time uh pizzeria who's back i've got two who's backs of the week uh first is the women's tournament women's tournaments back i i start out four and oh gambling on women they were calling mr women then i went oh and two today unfortunately because i got away from my system i much like billy have figured out a system to how to beat vegas when it comes to the women's tournament you just take all the good schools minus the points and it's super easy to do yeah so i got cute with it today and i took i took i will who's got the

best player in the country but they're not the best team necessarily and then i took uh who'd i take in my other one oh uh usf took usf against south carolina that was a mistake but now i'm back so my picks for tomorrow are going to be tennessee minus 14 over to leto tennessee is a good school uconn minus 15 over baler just take the biggest spreads the biggest bet bet the favorite on the biggest spreads and my other who's back in the week is the live tour yeah live tour had a massive weekend uh my son chris's ace is choked he's been crying non-stop for the entire day about that they had a 0.14 rating 0.14 rating which i think that means that the pga their their event this week had something like uh about 10 times the viewers who that live golf had so now the people that run

live golf they're saying already that they're going to start pulling the reins in on some of the spending in the next i don't know season do they call it seasons yeah uh so the the fat times are over for the live tour because their ratings are so bad right now they're not pulling it on the cw i have a very simple way to solve this ratings issue okay execute the last place team every week would be it would be down for it yeah yeah relegation yeah yeah the ultimate relegation yeah to the afterlife yeah yeah i mean or they don't have cuts but they could chop your head off live tour is one of those things where we made probably too big of a deal of it because it's definitely not going to last it actually ended up helping the pga to yeah yeah a lot a lot a lot

a lot and all these guys are going to come back right i think the good guys are going to come back i think some of the other people are going to get like fucked over i don't think i i think if you're a borderline player i guess they made a shitload of money so yeah if you're a borderline player i don't think like if you're good enough the pga will take you back but i think they're gonna look a lot closer at the people that you know if they're not there it won't matter yeah i just imagine all the live tour golfers being like this is fine this is totally fine i made the right choice it's a lot of yeah we're totally gonna up up you know up end the entire golf world you think that's what it yeah you're gonna wear shorts that's totally what it was about golf

but louder yeah golf grow the game um okay my who's back is the wisconsin women's hockey team national title shout out the lady badgers uh dynasty three out of four three out of four title towns good many are saying madison is title town one that won our nit game today too yeah title so uh that's kind of going well yeah i don't know just kind of winning everything but yeah shout out the women's hockey team awesome beat ohio state one nothing real fun to win a game one nothing just shut them down if you're if you're a real puck boy like us yeah right then you know that one nothing games are the most beautiful yeah so it felt good felt good to win one uh three out of four that's pretty fucking cool three out of four the ohio state can don't be upset if you're a

buckeye fan you actually won the one out of four so you were the only team that was able to stop wisconsin uh last year when you won the title but yeah three out of four is a dynasty and then my other who's back is uh dylan brooks just being a pest he is uh it's hard to like follow mba while march madness is going on i don't really trust anyone who like doesn't at least tune into some of the march madness like it's just it's the best tournament it's it's so much fun uh but yeah dylan brooks i was seeing some highlights he was just he's an all-time pest and he's just bothering the warriors constantly so he's back and now the shit talking is back and it feels like uh if we can get warriors grizzlies in the first round to be great and also shout out john marant for uh going to rehab for

like 70 hours yeah no he got he cured his gun in a strip club addiction that he had yeah there's also been pestering him for a while there was a funny tweet that was like um a reporter was like yeah john marant in his two or three days in rehab didn't play any basketball so he's gonna have to ramp back up probably forgot how to play basketball yeah i don't know i hope i hope he remembers how to play basketball i mean and the toughest part is the relapse where if he if he gets back and he's not that good you're gonna fall back on old habits and you're gonna be like i need to i need to have a gun in a strip club again do you think they like weaned him off guns like here's an airsoft yeah yeah it looks realistic gun yeah you can't quit guns cold turkey no definitely not but yeah

it was just funny to be like yeah he hasn't played any basketball so uh he's gonna need a little time to figure out how to be basketball what was it okay here it is adrian uh wojnowski marant hasn't been playing basketball while at a counseling center in florida so his ramp up is expected to extend past monday monday's game versus dallas when he's first eligible to return i hope i i'm hoping that he he remembers yeah how to play basketball i hope it's not a 12-step program yeah that would be a travel well no they won't call it yeah it's the NBA what if uh what if they uh did like over what's it called immersion therapy where instead of smoking you know if you get caught smoking a cigarette by your dad smoke a whole pack that's what i said a couple weeks ago the job

marant they should just make him drive a tank everywhere yeah yeah or just this would suck or just like put him in he has to just live in a strip club with all the guns yeah yeah no just make him yeah make him fire off a nuke yeah how do you like this this is what it leads to all right bill your who's back i was saving this part of the arian rogers news for the who's back but i think sack wilson let's just hear me out okay this is this is delusional this is delusional st patrick's day brain this is delusional but i have a feeling now i know arian rogers isn't doesn't have the longest history of like you know mentoring people uh quarterbacks under him but i actually could see that he might be the one guy that's able to fix what are the f***s

happening in sack wilson this is really sad go on didn't sack wilson say he's gonna make a life help but i think that would have been like derrick car or like jimmy garoppolo is incredibly sad he's gonna make rogers like so not only is arian rogers gonna like help us win now but i think he could help build why quarterback of the future why do you think it's gonna work between those two i just think they i think they can figure it out i think arian rogers is the one guy that sack wilson respects in the whole nfl and like definitely why why just him because arian rogers the the mass thing no no oh um arian rogers one just as many super bowls oh good point excellent point hank that yeah makes up for you not understanding the loss people forget that but in the quarterback world

arian rogers just has like his whole uh his uh base fundamentals and like basically his hip mobility and flexibility his oh hey guys i thought hank just got a thought just struck struck his brain yeah it doesn't matter the way the way arian rogers plays the game has totally changed a lot of quarterback fundamentals and that's like sort of the school thought that sack wilson came from like his quarterback guru they talk about a lot of the stuff that arian rogers practices and preaches and even josh allen before a monday night game uh they're getting into some of that like the way that arian rogers played the game has totally changed the quarterback mechanics especially and just like the way arian rogers throws the ball is just so he does it well you think i know

but zack wilson doesn't but i think i think arian rogers and zack wilson being in the same quarterback room is going to actually hurt hurting yourself i just focus on at least at least they do ayahuasca at least they do ayahuasca together in mormon he won't do it he can't drink a regular he can't drink regular tea much less tea with dmt i think he might make him go like be a bad boy start doing drugs okay and then zack wilson might get an edge to him start playing well totally erase all the bad interception games i feel bad i just i just think i think it could happen billy don't just billy you have arian rogers be thankful for i know but i think i think you could just like go so far i mean the xfl in three years the xfl is not going to be around

three years uh the seldicks do control their own destiny because they play the sixers one more time but again if they played if they both won all their games well that's impossible right now that is a wrinkle that you you have just found out but the seldicks control their own destiny because if they control correct you game against the sixers then they will if either team wins out they will have the higher seat so whoever wins the seldicks control their own destiny no so do the sixers no but yeah yes yes every team controls their own destiny no that's not true two teams no the rockets if they went out do not get to the playoffs they don't control their own destiny but if the seldicks and sixers both went out the seldicks would advance they they but they can't

went out but it's it's all about who if they play each other i think they both control their own destiny i think hey hank lowkey has discovered determinism yeah the seldicks have the better head-to-head record but if the sixers went out they have a better they are the second seat but the sixers went out there the second seat correct i think the seldicks have a better advantage you know what hank has discovered a mathematical anomaly how about that you do you have two teams control their own destiny simultaneously at the same time but the seldicks have the head-to-head record so but again go ahead max the head-to-head does not mean anything right now like i don't like the sixers have the better record the head-to-head means nothing

and even if with that six that's that game it doesn't matter it does matter you guys should do a math podcast fine when do you guys play is it a percentage April 4th wow all eyes on April 4th i think the sixers are home that game yep well that doesn't matter max you're gonna lose that game we do lose the seldicks often you get a couple big games against the bulls coming up max yeah tonight yeah back to back back to back um oh one one more thing that got lost in the uh the march badness weekend the commanders signed a quarterback it's jacoby brissette oh hell yeah so it's uh i think hank said it's a real life we get lamar jackson we have lamar jackson at home meme come to life yeah uh jacoby brissette the only thing i know about him

is he was uh he's got a hell of an arm because he was the designated hail mary thrower for back-to-back quarterbacks in indianapolis andrew luck when he was recovering from shoulder surgery and philip rivers when he was recovering from being old yep and also jacoby brissette is the best non bush push quarterback sneaker in the nfl statistically now the timbre is gone statistically no i think even last for the last couple seasons jacoby's been better than everybody besides jail and hurts okay on the push on the push ones so our friend sam schwarzstein actually sent me these stats to make me feel better about getting not lamar jackson as quarterback he said that uh the commanders went for it on 16 times from fourth and one or two and the average

negative 0.97 epa per play they only had a 50 success rate there's too many numbers at one of the okay here's all you need to know for a backup quarterback if if they were sneaking the but not even throwing the ball if they went on it every single fourth if the commanders had gone on it would jacoby brissette at quarterback every single fourth and one they would have added 32 points last season meaning they would have won that game against the giants and potentially been in the playoffs oh okay this is a farther reach than my zack it's numbers it's just numbers at one in the morning after first madness like zack wilson doing iowaska makes more sense it billy might no he might know it's numbers it's numbers and stats like zack wilson

again conspiracies with erin rogers to be better it makes more sense and the most important part about being a quarterback is throwing the ball yeah yeah well let's just let me cope uh okay we want to do the last ad then we'll do monday reading yeah before we get to the monday reading i want to talk to you guys about our great friends over at better help this show is brought to you by better help getting to know yourself can be a lifelong process especially because we're always growing and changing i'm not the same person that i was when i was 20 when i was 30 people change their their values change their lives change their situations change and therapy is all about deepening your self-awareness and understanding that because sometimes we don't know what we want

on reddit right now and it's written by a guy who is in a madden league with kyler murray the title of this reading is kyler murray character issues are a real concern based off my madden league experience with him so wait he played in an online madden league madden league yeah so like a full season yep with kyler murray as as a player on one of the other teams kyler murray had some character issues brought up this past year my story will touch on his character issues that may or may not affect his dynasty value not too long ago i joined a few semi-serious madden leagues with some online friends i'm above average and knew the gimmicky tactics that were highly frowned on the the league posted on the league's message boards that mentioned not to use these tactics

in game for example the user would put the fastest corner at linebacker and spin them around the linemen at snap this did something to the o-line while still having the middle of the field covered another one was running the same cheese plays all game if you had a fast enough wide receiver and the defense didn't have fast cornerbacks i disagree with that by the way if you find one like playing madden or college football game like if you have one play that works just i mean shark wheel just run it would you do that against other online players if they can't stop it yeah stop it okay stop the play actually if they cheat on offense running the gimmick play on offense then you just counter that by cheating on defense and doing the cornerback linebacker move but just

i hate with all you can't run the same play no if i have a play that works green bay power sweep run it this did something to the o-line while still having the middle of field covered another one was running the same oh yeah so that basically you couldn't cover the two routes as user unless you ran a specific defense well then run that specific defense yeah if you know what it is right but then they could just audible into the second she's playing snap without any time for you to adjust the coverage there are others too so one of these leagues included kyler murray and we were in the same division in the first or second game of the season we played and he used these band tactics all game i reported him to the commission i believe a few others did too from my chats with

the commission there was a post about warning and it seemed to stop we played again late in the season it was a big game to make the playoffs for both of us kyler murray played fair until the second half when he was down he pulled the same cheese plays and defensive tactics banned i messaged the commission again you know what i'm kind i am on kyler murray yeah like this is i this guy went online this guy's a karen he went online to complain about kyler murray beating him in madden yep that's really what we're getting out of this i messaged the sky sucks again and he said they would take care of it well the message board was flooded by a few people defending these tactics but not by kyler directly i'm assuming it were his buddies backing him up i think reading between lines here i think kyler

murray created a bunch of sock puppet accounts yeah and then replied to this message on the message board be like no it's fine no it's fine let him do it let him do it let him do it commission stood his ground on not allowing it finally we met in the playoffs and kyler used every cheese tactic in the book good people watched the stream and saw i ended up winning the game you know what cliff kingsbury should have done some cheese plays yeah i was just thinking kyler and cliff kingsbury definitely argued because he thought that some cheese plays would work in the nfl yeah cliff should have incorporated these cheating plays yeah if it's if you cheat in the nfl and get away with it you're allowed to do that stop it that's all you got to do stop it this makes me

believe he has a character issue if he acts this way in an inconsequential madden league this could translate to issues with his coaching staff and maybe even other teammates who dislike his demeanor in madden i love this guy yeah you know what like i i think kyler murray's in the right but i love that this guy took the time to go online and complain about this and say that he's alienating teammates because they probably get beat by kyler murray right right take this story as you will but it may be the tipping point for some people who want to buy herself nope it did not change my opinion uh it just made me hate this guy yeah he literally could you imagine like just i don't think he realized he definitely went online and was like i'm about to do something

i'm about to i'm about to really like do something here you probably dm this like every nfl reporter yeah like hey adam shifter i gotta scoop for you thought you did something but in reality if you take a step back you were in a madden league that's totally fine i respect everyone who video games i love video games which could play more you got your ass beaten the madden league sounds like three times and then you went online to be like well kyler murray's a bad guy because he beats me with the same play and i can't figure out a defense to stop it this gives off major john harbaugh vibes against the patreon yeah when he is like change the rules they're using there yeah exactly that maybe it's john harbaugh yeah i wrote this i wouldn't be shocked jesus what are the all

time great video game cheat moves where people be like yo you're cheating because i've i've long stood on on the throne of it's impossible to cheat at a video game the the jump in rainbow road but that's not cheating that takes skill right exactly that skill in bison in in street fighter when you just do the slide at people the entire time the kanami code that's the og what's that one up down up down left right yeah yeah start or whatever yeah but yeah that's not cheating because you're just playing the game you're playing the computer well when madden first came out in the 90s i used to just change every single player to uh 500 pounds and seven feet tall yeah and that rule totally fine yeah michael vic like running just just running the draw with michael vic yeah

that was that was do that yeah you couldn't you couldn't do that you couldn't you couldn't stop them bojaxon and tecmo yeah but yeah again i don't know stop it using yoshi and mario karts and people would say that's cheating yeah stop it the thing is there is like two schools of thought when it comes to madden like you can play madden in ways that would never work in a like a real football situation that like people exploit to like some guys when they're playing online they'll look at all the suggested plays to the defense that they run or whatever offense i'm peeking yeah and they can you know he is cheating yeah they'll pull up all the plays that they know the other person will run and it's like it's like a whole chess match yeah or not punting on punting downs but that's like

again i don't know just stop them wasn't there a controversy in in some big madden tournament about punting i don't know oh yeah some guy put his punters a quarterback he put his punters a quarterback and then just ran the ball oh yeah yeah he made it because like he used yeah because then he drafted his players and all of them were incredible and he just had a terrible quarterback yeah which that does suck if you're playing against that guy and just getting the ball run down your throat yeah but again i want a couple national titles run the ball run the damn ball the stew stafansky yeah um all right great show great weekend god damn it to a little march madness thoughts and prayers to everyone for the next three days it really is a heart they really
