Tax Act knows filing your taxes can be complicated, and that's why we have live experts to help you with any questions.
00:00:07
They can hold your hand through the process beginning to end.
00:00:11
Metaphorically, of course.
00:00:13
I mean, they can't actually hold your hand in person.
00:00:15
I suppose you could hold your computer mouse while you chat with the expert about capital gains or whatever, which is sort of like holding hands.
00:00:23
Sorry, point is, our tax experts can make filing easier.
00:00:27
Tax Act, let's get them over with.
00:00:30
The breeders of the world, where you at?
00:00:36
Don't turn your back on me.
00:00:39
I'm the best coach in the bleeping sports.
00:00:42
Have you ever heard that one before?
00:00:44
That's awesome.
00:00:45
This is what we love about sports.
00:00:46
You see something new every day.
00:00:47
Here's another one.
00:00:48
Oilers capital last night.
00:00:50
Nacho interference.
00:00:53
It's so good to wrap some words.
00:00:56
Not Joe on ice.
00:00:57
Why am I the daughter not perfect?
00:00:58
Perfectly good nachos going away.
00:01:00
Hey, Fred.
00:01:01
Well, I don't know if they were good, but I do love nachos.
00:01:08
I'd say odds have been being good and pretty well.
00:01:12
That's so good.
00:01:13
That's so good.
00:01:14
NFL News of the day.
00:01:15
HCNYJ, Aaron Glenn, the man for the New York Jets.
00:01:20
This one coming gradually.
00:01:21
Then suddenly, we've been gradually again.
00:01:23
A Jets star in the 90s.
00:01:25
Defensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions the last four years.
00:01:28
The heat rising on him as a candidate as the Lions got good.
00:01:32
Defensive ranks for Detroit this year.
00:01:34
Seventh and point.
00:01:35
Twentyth in yards.
00:01:37
Asterisk's on a bit of those for the injuries they've had.
00:01:40
A 45 on the defense four days ago in the loss to Washington.
00:01:44
It's Glenn's first head coaching job.
00:01:47
And the Jets interviewed 16 candidates to get to this place.
00:01:52
So on the face of this higher around the orange or any of our reporters on the way, Josh.
00:02:00
I think it's a great hire for New York Jets in a vacuum.
00:02:03
I think Aaron Glenn was one of the best candidates available.
00:02:06
He said they were sent in scoring on defense over the entirety of the season.
00:02:09
But they were top three when this team was actually healthy.
00:02:12
The fact that they were able to finish the season the way they did speaks volumes to how willing players are to play hard for Aaron Glenn.
00:02:19
I love the higher in a vacuum.
00:02:21
But as always with the Jets, there's more, right?
00:02:24
There's always another problem.
00:02:25
What are they going to do on offense?
00:02:27
Is Aaron Rogers going to play?
00:02:28
Does Aaron Glenn even want Aaron Rogers as his quarterback?
00:02:31
How involved is Woody Johnson going to be in the day-to-day process?
00:02:34
Is he going to give Aaron Glenn space to operate and establish his culture?
00:02:38
That is the biggest question.
00:02:40
Like I said, in a vacuum, great hire.
00:02:42
I love it.
00:02:43
This Lions defense.
00:02:44
They allow 30 or more points.
00:02:45
The same amount of times as they allowed 10 or fewer points this season.
00:02:48
So there's a lot to like about Aaron Glenn, the schematic coach.
00:02:53
But there is always more to the New York Jets than meets the end.
00:02:56
No flash.
00:02:57
When you think of this fit here, Aaron Glenn, defensive coordinator going to the New York Jets.
00:03:01
How do you see it?
00:03:02
I don't like it.
00:03:03
I don't like it.
00:03:04
It's two.
00:03:05
You need an offensive of mine.
00:03:06
This is offensive game.
00:03:07
This is the Andy Wieds game.
00:03:08
This is Nick Serionic's game.
00:03:10
This is Cliff Kinsmer's game.
00:03:11
You need an offensive of mine.
00:03:13
You serve Aaron Rogers as a quarterback.
00:03:14
Glenn is not an offensive coach.
00:03:16
He's not going to run the offense.
00:03:17
He's not going to run the offense.
00:03:18
You need somebody.
00:03:19
And defensively, his team looked terrible in the last game.
00:03:23
I know there are injuries, but this is a hiring off of an awful game.
00:03:27
I know it's an inspiration.
00:03:28
Okay.
00:03:29
I heard this yesterday.
00:03:30
This is the shine on a coordinator.
00:03:32
Go away.
00:03:33
The way they go out in the playoffs.
00:03:35
You would say yes.
00:03:36
Because there's examples both ways here.
00:03:38
Frank, I saw around the horn to you.
00:03:40
You're in New York.
00:03:41
I think you look at his body of work.
00:03:44
I love the hire from a number of standpoints.
00:03:46
There's number one he played for the Jets.
00:03:47
He knows the lay of the land.
00:03:48
When he played there, Bill Belichick was a defensive coach.
00:03:51
Bill Parcells, who he still keeps in touch with.
00:03:54
So smart coaches always talk to coaches for ideas.
00:03:57
So I love that part of it.
00:03:59
But Marcel mentioned what he just said.
00:04:00
That's the thing that's going to worry me.
00:04:01
You know, they had Todd Bolzer defensive guy.
00:04:03
You know, they had Robert Salah.
00:04:04
When they pulled the plug on Robert Salah.
00:04:06
It was truly in the season.
00:04:07
And they ruined their season at that point.
00:04:09
I think Aaron Glenn is going to do fine.
00:04:12
The big question will be, is the owner going to get involved?
00:04:15
Owners get involved on some level all the time.
00:04:18
But that's the one thing that will concern me.
00:04:20
Bill, you're talking about the offense.
00:04:21
You know, you're rattling off, you know, Andy Reed.
00:04:23
He's got Patrick Mahomes.
00:04:25
You know, Buffalo's got Josh Allen.
00:04:27
The Jets are going to need a quarterback.
00:04:28
That will be the next big thing for them.
00:04:30
Justin Sinsley around the horn to you.
00:04:32
Lower nose.
00:04:33
I don't like disagreeing with Bill Plashky.
00:04:35
But I got to disagree with Bill here.
00:04:37
I understand that the Lions gave up 45 points in their last game with the season.
00:04:42
They didn't look good.
00:04:43
Guess what?
00:04:44
People said the same thing about Dan Quinn when his cowboy defense had 48 hung up on him by Green Bay a couple of years ago.
00:04:50
And look what he's done.
00:04:51
He's in the NFC Championship game now.
00:04:53
So I really appreciate this hire.
00:04:55
I actually saw an interview with Aaron Glenn the other day.
00:04:58
He was on the pivot.
00:04:59
And he talked about the importance of him being a former personnel scout for the Jets and how that influences evolution as a coach.
00:05:07
So he's going into this with the different lens that I think most other coaches do.
00:05:11
So we talk about defensive coaches.
00:05:13
What are you going to do?
00:05:14
Well, guess what?
00:05:15
Demiko Ryan's got CJ Stroud, year one.
00:05:17
Dan Quinn got Jayden Daniels, year one.
00:05:20
Who's Aaron Glenn going to have year one?
00:05:22
Is it going to be Aaron Rodgers?
00:05:24
Or will the Jets try to make a trade-up for a cam ward or Shadour Sanders?
00:05:27
I like the acquisition.
00:05:30
Just keep mad in the way from Woody Johnson.
00:05:32
And I think he should be.
00:05:33
Marcel Lewis shot back in.
00:05:36
And also, I mean, Andy Reed, when you look at the Chiefs of the past two years, they're not an offensive heavy team.
00:05:42
They have shifted to a defensive-minded football team.
00:05:44
They're one of the best defenses in football the past few years.
00:05:47
Philadelphia Eagles.
00:05:48
Best defense in football this year.
00:05:49
Like, defense still wins championships.
00:05:51
Offense and, you know, post Sean McVeigh-Rams run.
00:05:54
Offense has been the darling of the league.
00:05:56
But like, defense still gets you a Super Bowl title.
00:05:58
Let's not make it in the way of the world.
00:06:01
Is it a cheap shot to say that Aaron Glenn was one of the defensive backs on damn Reno's fake spike?
00:06:07
Yes, it's absolutely a cheap shot to say that.
00:06:10
I appreciate you playing "Remember When."
00:06:12
I love that you bring it down.
00:06:14
Glenn actually...
00:06:15
We'll see the player right here.
00:06:16
Glenn actually moving a little bit on this play.
00:06:18
Some other jets are kind of...
00:06:19
Oh, that's...
00:06:20
I like to "Remember When" Bill Plashky.
00:06:22
But that's a cheap shot.
00:06:23
Thank you.
00:06:24
That is what he says.
00:06:26
Let's go deeper on this from the Detroit Lions perspective.
00:06:29
They've lost both coordinators now.
00:06:32
We've seen that before.
00:06:33
For teams, the Eagles two years ago was an example.
00:06:36
There's kind of a mixed bag in how teams have responded.
00:06:40
We covered it from that.
00:06:41
There's three to five instances.
00:06:42
But it's also true that Dan Campbell, on his exit press conference interview yesterday, went to the microphone and said, "This team will come back better."
00:06:52
And the Super Bowl window is absolutely open.
00:06:55
The core group is still intact.
00:06:57
Frank Heissullis, you agree the Lions window?
00:06:59
It's absolutely open.
00:07:01
I think it is.
00:07:03
It is very difficult to lose two outstanding coaches what they had.
00:07:06
But I agree with them.
00:07:07
The core group is still there.
00:07:08
And remember, in the playoffs, they were somewhat banged up.
00:07:11
You also wonder, and this happens all the time with a lot of teams.
00:07:14
They had two high profile coordinators who were being courted by so many different teams.
00:07:18
You wonder how much that impacts you during the playoffs and during preparations.
00:07:22
It's only natural to be thinking about your next job.
00:07:25
I'm not saying they did, but in the back of your mind, it had to have been going on.
00:07:28
And sure enough, within a week, they're both gone.
00:07:30
But I do think that Detroit Lions still have enough there.
00:07:33
Let's face it, guys, you've got to catch breaks along the way.
00:07:36
You need your team to stay healthy.
00:07:38
And that was not the case at the end of the season.
00:07:40
Justinsley on losing two coordinators.
00:07:43
And what it means for the Detroit Lions.
00:07:46
Yeah, about this whole window thing.
00:07:48
So this season, Tony, the window was like wide open.
00:07:51
It was 90 degrees.
00:07:52
You had to fan on full blast.
00:07:53
You're trying to get the air in.
00:07:55
Now, after losing two great coordinators, it's kind of like it's 70 degrees out there.
00:07:59
I was going to get chilly a little later, and the window will close.
00:08:02
But I think the Lions are looking at this.
00:08:04
It all comes down to how do they fell out their coaching positions?
00:08:08
And not just offensive and defensive coordinators.
00:08:10
Who do you put in position coaches?
00:08:12
What do you do with that?
00:08:13
Can they show up the past defense?
00:08:15
Can they get eight and hundreds in a running mate on that defensive line?
00:08:19
If they can do that, then I expect them to be near the very top of the NFC next year.
00:08:23
Because they have a lot of great players returning.
00:08:26
Marcel Luiz-Jacques.
00:08:28
Yeah.
00:08:29
I mean, they've known throughout the year that they're probably going to lose their coordinators.
00:08:32
So that's not a surprise for them.
00:08:34
But can they keep the assistance?
00:08:36
Like, what are the -- what are Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn?
00:08:38
Who are they going to take with them to Chicago and to New York?
00:08:42
That is where -- that's where the scales could tip.
00:08:46
Because the Lions need to keep a culture in place.
00:08:49
Dan Campbell has already come out and said that he would like to hire internally.
00:08:52
You know, maybe a guy like Kelvin Shepard for defensive coordinator.
00:08:55
But he can also very well follow Aaron Glenn to New York.
00:08:58
So that's the most important thing.
00:09:00
But they are set for the future.
00:09:02
Their core is locked up or on rookie deals.
00:09:04
They've got some cap space.
00:09:05
Like, they've got playoff experience now.
00:09:07
It's a matter of Ken, the new offensive guy, maybe get as much out of Jared Goff as Ben Johnson did.
00:09:13
Remains to be seen.
00:09:14
But if they can keep internal pieces in play, then yeah, they're when it was -- Journal coaching pieces.
00:09:19
Now why?
00:09:20
Because Terrell Williams is now the defensive coordinator of the New England Patriots.
00:09:23
That's one on staff that has already been going on.
00:09:26
Bill Plaszki around the horn to you on losing two coordinators.
00:09:29
How a team responds and whether you think Detroit's window is still absolutely open.
00:09:34
Well, only a handful of teams have ever lost both coordinators in the off season.
00:09:37
And most of those teams did worse in the next year.
00:09:39
And look at the Eagles last year.
00:09:40
They lost both coordinators and they fell apart at the end of the year.
00:09:43
I think it does not bode well for the Lions, especially for Jared Goff.
00:09:47
Jared Goff is a very precious commodity.
00:09:50
He needs to be handled just the right way and Ben Johnson handled them perfectly.
00:09:53
I don't think Dan Campbell has much to do with Jared Goff.
00:09:56
He needs a quarterback whisperer.
00:09:58
And I don't think he can get that in there.
00:10:00
And Goff is the whole team.
00:10:01
I mean, that Goff is the quarterback as your team.
00:10:03
The quarterback, they get out of the quarterback.
00:10:04
And the reason he was successful was because of Goff.
00:10:06
And I'm worried that they lose that connection now with Johnson.
00:10:10
I think the window is closing.
00:10:11
Right, guys, solo bucket.
00:10:12
Fast.
00:10:13
I mean, come on, Bill.
00:10:15
The one thing about Jared Goff, though.
00:10:16
I mean, think about the experience he has right now.
00:10:18
You're making it seem like Ben Johnson's gone.
00:10:20
And he's never going to get back to maybe an NFC title game.
00:10:23
He did that last year.
00:10:24
He's been in with Super Bowl with the Rams.
00:10:26
Again, it comes down to the players.
00:10:28
I think they'll be able to fill out that staff.
00:10:29
That group is that core group is still young enough.
00:10:32
Absolutely.
00:10:33
That's where Marcel Luizha.
00:10:35
I mean, David Montgomery and Jameer Gibbs are still in place.
00:10:39
Brian Branch is still in place.
00:10:41
They're on rookie day.
00:10:42
I think their window is still open.
00:10:47
But it's eight Jared Goff's size window, not eight Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Pat Mahomes' size window.
00:10:52
You've got to keep perspective in mind.
00:10:54
Around the horn on backups and windows.
00:10:57
Be back with them.
00:10:59
You'll have a workshop.
00:11:00
That lands gaping in homes.
00:11:02
A lot of house cleaning.

Baseball Hall of Fame announcement.
00:13:08
I look forward to this conversation every year.
00:13:08
Each row, one vote short of unanimous.
00:13:11
C.C.
00:13:12
Subathea, Inn, Billy Wagner, Inn, Carlos Beltron, Andrew Jones, Close but No, and further down, doors still locked for Alex Rodriguez,

Manny Ramirez.
00:13:26
Go Plashky, Around the Horn to you.
00:13:28
Did the voters get it right?
00:13:30
One voter got it really wrong.
00:13:32
How could each row not be unanimous?
00:13:34
That's unbelievable.
00:13:35
He's the greatest hitter ever, Tony.
00:13:37
Combined his hits with Japan in the U.S.
00:13:39
and he has more hits than Pete Rose.
00:13:41
He 262 hits the most hits in one season.
00:13:43
Ten straight season, 200 plus hits.
00:13:45
Ten straight gold gloves.
00:13:46
More than he paid the way for the team I cover now.
00:13:51
For the autonies of the world.
00:13:52
For the Yamotos of the world.
00:13:54
He paid the way for the Japanese player.
00:13:55
He wasn't the first one, he was the first great one.
00:13:58
So you think he should be unanimous.
00:14:00
You know there's a long history of as a group not being unanimous so that we have seen it with Mariana Rivera.
00:14:05
Marcell Luis Jacques, please.
00:14:07
Yeah, it's up to baseball Hall of Fame voters to determine whether or not they want their vote publicized.
00:14:13
I would just love to hear your explanation.
00:14:16
I'm not even mad at you.
00:14:17
I just want to know, like, maybe I'm missing something.
00:14:19
Because what more did you want each row to do to warrant a Hall of Fame vote?
00:14:23
This guy didn't even join the MLB until he was 27 and still cranked out 3000 career hits, man.
00:14:28
Like, I don't know what else could have been done.
00:14:30
The one glaring misto and, you know, our good friend Harry Lyles almost booked the flight here to be able to say this in studio.
00:14:37
Where is Andrew Jones, man?
00:14:39
Ten time gold glove winner only getting 66% of the vote right now.
00:14:43
He's got two more years to get in.
00:14:44
But please do the right thing here voters.
00:14:47
Justin Sinsley.
00:14:48
Yeah, I'm just going to pile on, like, each row let it entire decade in hits.
00:14:53
Like Bill said it earlier, like 10 straight seasons of 200 plus hits.
00:14:57
Nobody in MLB history has ever done that.
00:15:00
But again, yes, I'm of the Andrew Jones brigade as well.
00:15:04
One of six players to ever win 10 gold gloves.
00:15:08
Each row is another one.
00:15:09
This is the best defensive center filter of all time.
00:15:12
Show that massive.
00:15:13
I said this on the stage too.
00:15:15
I'm with you guys, you know, and I heard not everybody talks about not Gary Guyetti.
00:15:20
Say it this way.
00:15:21
It's like having Ozzy Smith, but 15 times the whole runs because that's the type of fielder he was.
00:15:28
Frank Isola around the horn to you.
00:15:30
You know, I get Derek Geter falling on one vote shy of being unanimous.
00:15:34
People like Bill Plashky.
00:15:35
They don't like New York, the pinstripes, the whole thing.
00:15:38
I get it.
00:15:39
How do you leave an intro of your battle?
00:15:40
I didn't vote.
00:15:41
You could not make a case for that.
00:15:42
But if you're going to put CC Sebastian and you're going to put Billy Wagner in, explain to me how Kurt Schilling didn't get in.
00:15:50
When you think about the three of them, I can name about five or six big spots where Kurt Schilling in the playoffs in the postseason was lights out.
00:15:58
I get it there in with Kurt Schilling.
00:16:01
Fire sell too.
00:16:02
Don't turn your back on me on the best coach in the bleeping sport.
00:16:07
Dan Hurley said it.
00:16:11
Have you ever seen a coach say it in the middle of a game to a referee?
00:16:15
You can did pull off an overtime win over Butler.
00:16:18
Here's Hurley after the game.
00:16:21
I've created this for myself.
00:16:22
I'm not an victim.
00:16:23
I just wish they would show these other coaches losing their minds at the officials in other big east games that I'm coaching where I look going into a timeout when I'm not talking to officials.
00:16:36
I see the other coaches as demonstrative as I am.
00:16:39
There we go, Marcel.
00:16:41
Fire sell Hurley there.
00:16:45
Dude, just stand on it.
00:16:46
Like, I love him saying that.
00:16:48
He's not wrong.
00:16:49
He is the best coach in the bleeping sport right now.
00:16:51
But stand on business.
00:16:53
Dan don't come back talking about.
00:16:54
I just wish that other guys were on camera as much as I do.
00:16:57
You ruined all the juice you just got by standing on it in front of the ref.
00:17:01
I just wish you would have kept that energy in front of a microphone.
00:17:04
This man really got in front of a microphone and said them over there.
00:17:09
Officer, they're guilty as well.
00:17:10
Like, come on, dude.
00:17:11
You can't be the king of the hill.
00:17:13
And you are the king of the hill.
00:17:14
You can't be the king of the hill.
00:17:15
And then, complaining when it's all lies on you.
00:17:17
I just don't like it.
00:17:18
Very self-service.
00:17:19
Right, guys, solar.
00:17:21
Rick Patino can make a pretty compelling case that he's the best coach in college basketball.
00:17:25
One national championship at two different schools in Kentucky.
00:17:28
Here's my thing about what Hurley said.
00:17:30
When you talk about combative cocky bullies, that's basically every coach.
00:17:33
A lot of coaches in college basketball.
00:17:35
That's the dog bites man's story of college basketball.
00:17:38
My only thing with Hurley, and I've known him for a long time, just be careful.
00:17:41
He's coming very close to crossing that line.
00:17:44
You don't want to see a Bob Knight situation or even a Woody Hayes situation.
00:17:48
He sometimes can get a little over the top.
00:17:50
I love Hurley.
00:17:53
There's so much fun to cover him if he coach the Lakers.
00:17:56
What was he with here?
00:17:57
He said he's such a great character.
00:17:59
And he understands that college basketball is about the coaches.
00:18:02
The coaches are their front faces in college basketball.
00:18:05
None of the players were stars.
00:18:06
It's all about the coaches.
00:18:07
He's taken on the mantle.
00:18:08
And again, I wish you wouldn't complain about being so publicized because he brings it on himself.
00:18:12
But I love his swagger.
00:18:13
I love his fight.
00:18:14
His team has the same.
00:18:15
Is it okay for him to say don't turn your back on me to a referee?
00:18:18
That's what I'm getting to.
00:18:19
I know you guys focus more on the podium.
00:18:21
I love that.
00:18:22
Marcel, is it okay for him to say that?
00:18:24
Justin, is it okay for him to say that?
00:18:27
Yeah, sure.
00:18:28
My biggest issue with it though is that his attitude has rubbed off on his little brother who coaches the team at my own bottom.
00:18:34
I wish that he's tactics.
00:18:36
Bob is the older brother.
00:18:37
That he's the older brother.
00:18:39
Because on the scale this is somewhere between, do you know who I am?
00:18:43
And PDWs, who do you think you are?
00:18:46
I am.
00:18:47
I mean, that's something very poetic about PDWs.
00:18:49
There is no PDWs.
00:18:50
But we'll referee.
00:18:51
We'll move on.
00:18:52
Byersale 3, it's week.
00:18:53
The ACC football is considering conference championship format.
00:18:57
Regular season champions, except for playing another game.
00:19:00
So no championship game for champions.
00:19:03
And then the final game would be between two and three in the conference.
00:19:08
Justin, I'm looking at your face right now.
00:19:10
You see perplexed, please.
00:19:11
Byersale this.
00:19:12
This is very triggering for me.
00:19:14
It reminds me of senior year calculus.
00:19:16
And I didn't know what the hell was going on.
00:19:18
I don't know what the hell was going on here.
00:19:20
This is a conference that had his heart broke years ago.
00:19:22
And they have not gotten over it.
00:19:24
It's pretty, it's pretty sad.
00:19:25
Well, they had two teams in the playoff issue.
00:19:27
This is to strengthen the chances of the playoff looking favorably on the conference.
00:19:31
I'm like gripping.
00:19:32
Byersale.
00:19:33
Man, I give Bill Plashky a lot of credit.
00:19:35
He's been beating him.
00:19:36
I had to get away.
00:19:37
Get rid of these conference championship games.
00:19:38
And guess what?
00:19:39
Notre Dame and Ohio State played in the national championship game.
00:19:42
They didn't have to play in a conference championship game.
00:19:44
Things are a complete waste of time.
00:19:46
And the ACC is nuts to even think of some plastic.
00:19:49
And the ACC is making a mockery.
00:19:51
They're trying to make a point.
00:19:52
They're trying to show what a sham.
00:19:54
These conference games are.
00:19:55
And they are a sham.
00:19:56
They're done.
00:19:57
They're a joke.
00:19:58
Get rid of them.
00:19:59
They're a money grab.
00:20:00
With the 12 team playoff, you don't need them.
00:20:02
Mark Salujak.
00:20:03
Yeah, I wish I had more to add here.
00:20:06
But I fundamentally do not understand this.
00:20:09
Even the 14 conference championship playoff.
00:20:12
It's just adding more games onto these players' schedules.
00:20:16
Like that's inevitably going to lead to more injuries.
00:20:18
And then in the case where the number one team doesn't play in the conference side, then who the hell wins the championship between the two and the three?
00:20:26
Like it doesn't make any sense.
00:20:27
We're just saying things to say to them at this point.
00:20:30
Maybe nobody knows what it means.
00:20:32
Maybe it just gets the people going.
00:20:34
It's provocative.
00:20:35
Maybe that's what they go.
00:20:36
Mark Salujak.
00:20:37
Don't go too far, Bill.
00:20:39
I want to talk to you after our face time today.
00:20:42
I want to get an update after your wonderful column last week.
00:20:45
Justin Tinsley, Frank Eissola.
00:20:46

00:20:48

00:21:48
Our experts have the answers to those questions and many others.
00:21:52
Tax Act, let's get them over with.
00:21:56
Ben Johnson's intro press conference with the Chicago Bears.
00:22:01
Dan Campbell, Kevin O'Connell.
00:22:04
You're talking about two guys that are up for coach of the year awards.
00:22:07
And to be quite frank with you, I kind of enjoyed beating Matt Lefort twice a year.
00:22:15
Justin Tinsley is interdivision coaching trash talk wise before you coach even game one.
00:22:21
That was a funny smirk, but this is a franchise that had the level of air and rod just telling them I owned you for the better part of two decades.
00:22:28
So I'm not mad at the energy that Ben is bringing, but you better live up to him.
00:22:32
All right, guys, Zola.
00:22:34
He's wrong with the Chicago media is wrong.
00:22:36
Lighting up a little bit, Courtney Cronin, Waddle and Sylvie.
00:22:41
Can you laugh at the guy's joke throw him a bone for crying out loud?
00:22:44
It's his first experience.
00:22:45
You're sitting in that front row, you're giving a belly laugh to that?
00:22:49
Oh, great, absolutely.
00:22:50
I'm leaning back.
00:22:53
Show that to why we love sports.
00:22:55
You see something you never see every night.
00:22:58
Jesus, nacho distraction.
00:23:00
Corey Perry had an oiler's goal last night.
00:23:03
Look at Cap's goalie Logan Thompson.
00:23:05
There's point to get something he was distracted by.
00:23:08
Cheese nachos on the ice.
00:23:11
Of course, there's a rule for interference about objects thrown on ice.
00:23:14
Frank, are you calling Nacho interference here?
00:23:17
Absolutely, I am.
00:23:19
Old man yells at the cloud.
00:23:20
It's a safety hazard that fans should be kicked out and it's no goal.
00:23:24
End of story.
00:23:25
Dustin.
00:23:26
There's literally nachos on the ice.
00:23:28
Of course, you have to call that.
00:23:30
But honestly, I'm a penny pitcher.
00:23:32
I'm looking at those nachos.
00:23:33
I'm like, those are probably $18 nachos, somebody just wasted.
00:23:36
You're a penny pitcher.
00:23:37
Sprooge McDuck over here.
00:23:38
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:23:39
Rouge McDonald's.
00:23:40
Dining into those cheese nachos though, Tim.
00:23:42
Yes, sir.
00:23:43
Take the phase time.
00:23:45
Yeah, here's a cool thing sports to do.
00:23:47
Bill's mafia has donated over $60,000 to break through T1D.
00:23:51
This is a charity organization.
00:23:53
A charity organization that geared towards type 1 diabetes, which Mark Andrews who dropped that two-point conversion head.
00:24:00
Really dope, really dope, Jester.
00:24:03
Soluted in for that.
00:24:04
Tills mafia.
00:24:05
Get that right.
00:24:06
Time for one more bill.
00:24:08
Bill Plashkey.
00:24:09
Your column in the L.A.
00:24:10
Times last week touched a song.
00:24:11
I'm Bondi.
00:24:12
Unbearable guilt of losing nothing.
00:24:16
And then losing everything in these fires.
00:24:18
Can you please give us enough here?
00:24:21
It's still a mess, Tony.
00:24:23
I'd like to say it would be better.
00:24:25
But then in the end, we're still uninhabitable.
00:24:27
We can go back.
00:24:30
It's a hellscape every day.
00:24:33
It's moving slow.
00:24:35
The rebuild is moving very slowly.
00:24:37
Your town, your village, of Alta Dana.
00:24:41
Do we believe the community is going to come back?
00:24:46
I hope so.
00:24:47
Tony, I hope so.
00:24:48
Alta Dean is a great place.
00:24:50
I want to let her live there forever.
