02:34-7-0 show
02:35yolo you only live once bro i was showing jason some uh highlights from the oklahoma city game last
02:41night and by the way this is by the way this is sports page brought to you by our good
02:45friends
02:45at open road yes they've become the most hated team on social media at least because of all the
02:51flopping jp's very upset he's very anti-sga it's like a dog with a bone it's like a pit bull
02:57with a
02:58bone i didn't really i didn't really pay i didn't really pay attention to sga flopping in the last few
03:03years i started to pay more attention this year because it's becoming more of a thing uh in the
03:08media especially in social last night there were now look he's not getting all the calls so maybe
03:13the the refs are on to it and nba is telling the refs don't give him this because that's all
03:18anybody
03:18talks about it's very negative so he wasn't getting a lot of the calls i don't know how many times
03:22he
03:22went to the line but so he had six free throws okay there you go so some some of them
03:25are ridiculous
03:27i mean literally literally he's getting touched with a fingernail and he's falling down on his back he's
03:31i mean yes and it's not even the same thing it's not even just sga cakes i'm sure a lot
03:37of the stars
03:38do it yeah but sga i think takes none of the level i've come around look i don't really care
03:42who wins
03:43whether it's the knicks the calves or the spurs i just don't want okc to win right and i think
03:51a lot
03:52of people are like that because it's not even just sga and this is on the other side they get
03:57away with
03:58way more physicality than other teams i mean they're murdering murdering wemby yeah hartenstein
04:04uh was in there and he's just like i mean i guess that's you have to do it but they're
04:09they're getting
04:10physical with him they're not calling it and then on the other side you know you see sga flop around
04:15and get calls i mean harrison barnes one time was just standing there and sga just threw himself to
04:21the ground and got a call well that's what jj reddick was was uh complaining about post game i don't
04:26maybe it was the clinching game when they lost to them but and it's unfortunate i'm sure a lot of
04:31the coaches he's a great player he's a two-time mvp he had a big shot i can't remember exactly
04:37if it
04:37was four points or five points but the spurs closed the lead with about two minutes left in the game
04:43to
04:43four or five and sga hit a nice mid-range jumper pull up nailed it he was the clutch player
04:50of the
04:51year in the nba so it's just you don't want to see all the sideshow stuff yeah associated with it
04:59he's a great player now players do sell calls lebron luca james harden you can go down the list
05:07but it just seems like they do it more than any other team i mean remember chet holmgren i think
05:12it was game one where he faked like he got hit in the face yeah he went down like this
05:17and there
05:17it wasn't even close he was holding his face he wasn't even close to getting hit in the face and
05:20meanwhile isaiah harnstein's pulling um did he get stefan castle's hair and doesn't get called yeah
05:28well um i'd like to know how many times sga was on the ground last night oh he's on the
05:35ground
05:35probably 15 20 every every offensive possession yeah because when he takes a shot mid-range shot
05:42and the guy's defending him hand in the face and he comes down right in front of that he just
05:46falls
05:46back now he tries to sell it every time he wasn't getting a lot of those do you think when
05:50he's in
05:50an empty gym and he's got those okc guys just rebounding for him he's falling down he's just
05:56practicing that there are a lot of people who believe that the team practices flopping i don't
06:02know we don't want to say flopping i always think of it defensively but you're talking about
06:05offensive flop offensive um we have a buddy in soccer that really was excellent at flopping
06:12any time that he got close to like he would he would just be trying to get a pk he
06:17would do a
06:17superman jump and go ah the funny thing is i think i know who you're talking about bubba yeah yeah
06:24that's what i thought he was he was really good at it hey if he could sell it and get
06:27a bunch of
06:28calls i can understand it size for free kicks but look in the end uh the spurs lost last night
06:33because they're committing way too many turnovers i think they've been over 20 in both of the games
06:3821 turn and so dearon fox has been out since i think game five of the previous series i might
06:45be wrong on that harper got hurt the first two games and stefan castle who's a really good player
06:51i think he was drafted third last year yeah um he has 20 turnovers in two games yeah 20 he
06:57had
06:57nine last night and i think okc outscored them 27 to 10 on turnovers i mean there's your game right
07:04there yeah he was the fourth pick in 2024 fourth yeah but he's high high pick he's really good he
07:11had an amazing dunk uh oh that was sick over that went viral just check it out i mean it's
07:17i think
07:18it was over hartenstein oh hartenstein but they you know if fox is out and harper gets hurt i don't
07:24know third quarter with a knee so he was out for the most of the second half so castle had
07:30to do he
07:30was probably handling the ball all the time in the second half so it's hard the nba is going to
07:34get
07:35a i think probably a good finals either way and the ratings have been up but if they got the
07:41knicks
07:41against the spurs they would love it when be against the knicks those ratings would be on the roof
07:47we'll see what happens who would you favor in that i think the western conference has been better so i
07:54would probably favor the spurs but the knicks have been playing really good basketball
07:58that'd be fun to watch aaron rogers you know we were kind of wondering what his decision was
08:03going to be for weeks and he finally came back you know and said a few weeks ago that he
08:07was coming
08:07back for for this year 2026 and then he talked yesterday about retirement he said yep this is it
08:13this is my last season last go around so no more questions 2026 is it it's gonna be 43 i
08:20think in
08:20early december now some people don't like when guys say stuff like this because the whole season is
08:26gonna be about them and are you guys holding it against aaron rogers that he's i think he just
08:32wants to get out get it out of the way i think it's fine he came out and said i
08:35think given
08:36the last several years where he leaves teams in a lurch it's good so they know they can plan
08:43yeah so i'm fine with it and the last thing he wants to do is take media questions after every
08:50game
08:51they better hope drew hour shows something during training camp and he's ready to go next season
08:57by the way what is nolan smith doing driving 135 i mean what are these georgia guys doing they love
09:05driving fast they're the it's just i didn't even think about that but he's he's a georgia georgia
09:11it happened in georgia it happened in georgia yeah but going 135 in a 70 all right that's crazy
09:18what kind of ride was he in i mean it's gotta be a good one to get up to 130
09:22oh i'm sure but it was
09:24at 11 at night what are you doing i mean like i'm on the icc i mean i wouldn't do
09:30it ever but if i was
09:32gonna do it it's gonna be in the broad daylight where i can see i'm on the icc a lot
09:35and the speed
09:36limit there is 60 i'm routinely at high 60s low 70s i feel like i'm not going to get pulled
09:43over
09:43for whatever reason and i haven't yet knock on wood but sometimes i'm driving 70 and guys will
09:49pass me like i'm driving in quicksand like they're they're doing 100 but it's not 130 it's not 135
09:55especially when you have a sports car and i just had you know a broke corvette yeah i was a
10:01broke
10:01but it's still fast and all i wanted to do was drive it fast of course because you can you're
10:07like you feel like a wuss driving at 55 but don't you i mean matt think about it 135 in
10:13a 70 is
10:14outrageous but you can't see that well at night you're doubling the speed limit basically i mean
10:20that's absurd it just takes a deer to come out oh you're and you're you're you're dead dunzo
10:26i mean you can't have that much control over the car i know at 130 if a deer jumps out
10:32and you
10:32swerve just a little bit doing 130 you're gonna do 40 flips it's gonna be lights out i'd rather him
10:38do it at 11 o'clock at night well i understand i understand what you're saying i'm just talking
10:42about for his safety i just uh it's stupidity is what it is he's he's dumb i don't who's dumber
10:48him
10:48for doing that or rashie rice for smoking weed and violating his probation and the judge said
10:54oh you're going to jail right now right 30 30 so now he's gonna miss all the otas go rehab
11:00your
11:00need you just had worked on in jail no he's stupid dumb yeah he's addicted to it but driving 130
11:07is
11:08that's unless unless you're in a nascar event was there anybody did they i didn't even read the
11:13whole story was there anybody else in the car i don't know those there must not have guys do the
11:19they do love they do love to reckless drive and drive like over 100 miles per hour
11:24yeah i don't know what it is kirby smart just loves guys who drive fast how fast are the
11:30motorcycles that zip by you sometimes on the highway north of 100 miles feels like they're
11:36going in that range feels like you're going 100 the thing that irritates me about them i mean the
11:40motorcycles do whatever you want eventually you're gonna die but uh what's when they weave between
11:45the cars oh yeah that's all like like there's two cars like that i'm talking about like they go
11:50between them i know what i mean i know when the traffic is like at a standstill yeah they just
11:55go between their cars just waiting for them to clip the the side view mirrors yeah let me ask you
12:01this on back to aaron rogers yeah where does he fit in amongst the all-time greats because he's got
12:07four mvps top 10 but one super bowl i don't know where i'd rank it's a little disappointing okay but
12:13his
12:13numbers i mean he's got 500 he'll probably end up with 550 touchdown passes i mean he's the first
12:18spout hall of famer well yeah i know that but where would you rank him are you talking about
12:21top 10 quarterbacks of all time yeah oh yeah or top 10 players you're saying top 10 quarterbacks
12:28quarterbacks i don't know top seven i don't know i don't know i have to look at a list but
12:33that
12:33sounds that sounds like appropriate i mean probably it's brady montana one two just because of super
12:40bowls and they were great players i mean i would elevate peyton manning yeah every every list i'll
12:49have dan marino if you're counting a bunch of super bowls even though he didn't have numbers terry
12:54bradshaw has to be considered you want a bunch of super bowls yeah yeah people sleep on him because
12:59he's a big dummy on tv and nobody's number where you just numbers were ever big but it was it
13:03wasn't a
13:04passing era like that yeah but when he did pass he threw a lot of picks yeah and yeah people
13:09think
13:10he was nubs people think he's a big dummy if you're measuring by super bowl wins and leading to
13:15it's a factor when we were coming up because he was in our era when we were kids people thought
13:21he
13:21was a star no no he no doubt he was a star but he wasn't he's not a top yeah
13:25he's not like
13:26rogers level like throwing the ball i'd like to try where i think you put him in a it's not
13:31just
13:31super bowls because eli manning won a couple of super bowls um but it's a factor i mean what is
13:38he better than like john elway is probably thought of higher yeah than aaron rogers yes i is he but
13:46i do think aaron rogers is better passer i do think so i always a great player i always a
13:51great
13:51player i can't just i mean if elway was playing in this era he'd be putting up stupid numbers elway
13:59was a stud yeah he was he could run too no he definitely could no he's top 10 first round
14:05far of his top 10 even though he threw a bunch of picks but he threw i mean his numbers
14:10are crazy
14:12but i don't know i'd rogers is top 10 i don't know where he'd slot him in but he's definitely
14:16top 10
14:16all right so we started off the show kind of talking about the nats they got to 500
14:21last night they still have one more game left in the mets series if they take three out of four
14:25from the mets which is highly possible really impressive i mean i know the mets are terrible
14:30because of the rough start they got off to but they started playing better but man the vinnies and
14:35joes of the world would be so bitter that a 300 million dollar payroll is losing to the nats
14:39i played golf with vin yesterday couldn't stop talking about blowing the 5-0 lead
14:43you couldn't stop talking about i don't know right regular baseball game i can't believe we dropped
14:46the we got the 5-0 lead and dropped that game he was happy for one inning that's embarrassing
14:52yeah and last night it was uh zach thornton who make uh made his major league debut for the
14:58mets lefty starter cj abrams welcomed him into the league with the three-run jack versus zach
15:04it was a zach attack it was the zach attack because like zach would tell pitched fairly well for the
15:09he got the win he got his third win i believe third third three and four five innings two run
15:14ball
15:14yep but cj abrams hit number i can't remember i don't know how many i believe 10 he's tied for
15:21the lead in rbis yeah major league baseball it's pretty damn good it is um so they get the eight
15:27to four win and they'll play today at four day game today at four here's an interesting nugget about
15:33cj abrams 500 we get a an email from the nationals pr staff every day and it has
15:39little nuggets so it says cj abrams is batting 300 with four home runs off of starting pitchers
15:48making their debuts i just so if you see that a pitcher is facing the nationals and making their
15:54debut that's when you should load up on cj abrams props you know what mike moore should have read that
15:59email he should have yeah speaking of mike moore we will uh give the latest betting update as we make
16:06daily bets uh the loser guy at the bottom is going to have to put some spf on rom at
16:12the junkies beach
