00:00What used to be a Thursday staple is back.
00:04It is back, and Tyler Milner has brought it back.
00:08Tyler is the origin story.
00:11Tyler is the developer of just calling people turds.
00:16He really enjoys it.
00:18James Harden, I believe, is the originator when it comes to turds,
00:23and it is expanded, and with that, we made a turd list.
00:29He would do it every single week.
00:31He gives you the medal stand, the bronze, the silver,
00:34and the gold medalist for turds.
00:36One thing we have mentioned, I think nearly every person at Sports Radio 6 did
00:42has held one of the podiums with the exception of himself.
00:45He never, ever calls his own number, never believes he does anything, turds,
00:50so maybe he will do that as he has started this now.
00:54But he picks people in the sports world, and he believes that week we're turds.
01:01And it's been on a hiatus, but it is back now, baby.
01:05Here we go.
01:07Every Thursday, Tyler's turd list.
01:10Pro athletes are sometimes a lot to handle.
01:14Which is not good enough.
01:16Maybe even a bit dramatic.
01:19Altuve stole an MVP from Judge.
01:21Which turdish behavior will not be ignored.
01:24No one is safe.
01:26And I'm not going to let it take my joy.
01:29It's Tyler's turds of the week on The Drive with Sterner and Hughley.
01:36It is so back.
01:37It is back.
01:38It is so back.
01:40The Drive family demanded it.
01:41It's been a couple years.
01:42I miss that music.
01:43Has it really been a couple years?
01:44Yeah.
01:44It has been.
01:45It's been a couple years.
01:46I want to say the bronze here.
01:47Here we go.
01:47Yeah, we got a bronze.
01:49We got a full podium, as we will always have here on T-Mills Turds of the Week.
01:53And we'll get started with the bronze.
01:55I do want to let the Drive family know real quick that tomorrow, right at this time, in
01:58this segment, 340, we'll have Roe Flow, Robert Flores join the show.
02:02Talk a little Astros.
02:03All the latest.
02:04Have the MLB trade deadlines.
02:06We'll be ready for that.
02:07But turds, without further ado, the return bronze medal this week.
02:13It's going to go to every lady playing basketball for the WNBA, not named Kaitlyn Clark, that
02:19voted on a certain ranking list for players within the WNBA.
02:24And I'm going to let Candice Parker, WNBA all-time great, let her lay this out for you, and then
02:29I'll explain.
02:30I wholeheartedly believe that there needs to be some rules with the WNBA players, because
02:34this is getting out of hand.
02:36Kaitlyn Clark voted 11th best guard by WNBA players.
02:39That's crazy.
02:40I think people need to look at themselves in the mirror and realize, like, man, you
02:44got some insecurities.
02:46If you sit down and put Clark at the 11th best guard, y'all need to go to a therapist
02:53and figure out what childhood issues you have.
02:55Could not have said it better myself, Candice Parker, out there laying it out for you.
03:00Kaitlyn Clark is doing things for this sports league, this pro league, the WNBA that has
03:05never been done before.
03:06She's bringing an audience to your league, to your sport, that has never been seen before.
03:12And she's doing it while balling out and being the clear-cut number one very best player in
03:17your league.
03:19Well, that's not accurate.
03:20All of your other players are so petty.
03:24They are so petty and do not like Kaitlyn Clark that they are going to vote for her, and
03:29she's dropped from number nine last year, improving herself this season down to 11 amongst her
03:35peers within the WNBA.
03:37These ladies are just being petty.
03:39It's awful.
03:40It's stupid, really.
03:41And that is why they're getting the bronze turd award on a Thursday here on the drive.
03:45Yeah, it's stupid.
03:45They deserve it.
03:46Kelsey Plum, who was second in the league in scoring, was 12th.
03:51But Kaitlyn Clark leads the league in points plus assists this season.
03:55She was one step behind her.
03:56Kelsey Plum, only Asia Wilson, who is the best player in the sport, by the way.
04:02Only Asia Wilson scores.
04:03I shouldn't have said clear-cut number one, but she's a top-tier player.
04:07Top three.
04:08She's the only one who scores more than Kelsey Plum.
04:11I mean, Kaitlyn is top ten in scoring and second in assists.
04:16So, that is stupid.
04:19They got a Leah Boston eighth.
04:20It's stupid.
04:21Yeah.
04:21So, bronze turd medal to the WNBA ladies not named Kaitlyn Clark that voted her there
04:28in their league, which is just not right.
04:30If you do not take your sports league, your pro league seriously, how the hell am I or anyone
04:34else going to?
04:35Be better, better.
04:36Was it 11th best or guards?
04:39Guards.
04:39It was guards, not just in the league.
04:41Yeah, it was guards.
04:42And it's still stupid.
04:43That makes it even a lower ranking if you throw everybody else in there.
04:47Right.
04:47That's true.
04:49Yeah.
04:49Her and Kelsey, 11 and 12, best guards.
04:51So, be better, ladies.
04:53You get the bronze turd today.
04:55Silver turd time.
04:57A fellow we have affectionately known to know by the name of Homer Mike Burroughs.
05:02You might know of him.
05:04He's been starting games for the Astros every fifth game lately, and he shouldn't be.
05:08But Homer Mike Burroughs gets the silver turd.
05:11He's got a 5.99 ERA.
05:14That is the second worst ERA amongst those that qualify for starting arms around Major
05:18League Baseball.
05:19We saw the worst of it the very last time he was out there on the mound in his last
05:23start
05:23before his ass got sent back down to AAA.
05:26Mike Burroughs gets the silver turd.
05:28And in his last seven games, that ERA is bad enough as overall for the season.
05:34Last seven starts for Burroughs.
05:36A 7.18 ERA for that guy.
05:40So, he's clearly going to get the silver turd.
05:42And he pushed back on that one.
05:42I just think it's unfair.
05:45I had a feeling.
05:45Well, I think it's Joe.
05:47I think it's Joe and Dana who's ever running his ass out there.
05:50Captain Joe?
05:51At one point, it was Mike.
05:54And now, Mike's not running himself out there.
05:58And I'll be honest with you.
05:59If you'd have told me 5.9, I would have thought his ERA was above 6.
06:07I don't know what it was, even though it is the worst.
06:10Well, my only complaint is I don't know how he's not gold.
06:12So, I can't wait to hear what you got going on at the top of the podium here, Chief.
06:16Well, there is a gold.
06:18And if you're watching with us on YouTube and or Twitch, I have the Golden Turd Trophy in my hand.
06:23It's still been hanging around here in the studio.
06:25The top of it, the tip of the turd, looks like it got snapped off somehow.
06:28But the Golden Turd Award for the return of T-Mills Turds of the Week,
06:33it's got to go to our men's national squad.
06:35U.S. soccer team now eliminated, of course, as the World Cup rolls on.
06:40France and Morocco in action right now.
06:42We'll update you on that later.
06:43But the U.S. soccer squad has got to be the gold turd because, really,
06:47soccer as a sport itself in our country, in the U.S.A.,
06:51it's kind of been a golden turd of sports in general.
06:55It's just a sport this country cannot seem to find any success in.
07:00And there's some audio here I wanted to play for you from Beaumont Jones.
07:03I know this tickles Ron, and it'll tickle all you Longhorn fans that listen to us every single day.
07:09I appreciate you all.
07:09This is Beaumont Jones talking USA soccer in a comparison to collegiate football.
07:15The fact that the U.S. lost in the round of 16, in college football, we have what I like
07:21to call an eight-win school.
07:24There are some schools, no matter who they are or where they go, they are just eight-win schools.
07:30Texas A&M is the grand example, and maybe that's what this comes down to,
07:33that the United States is the Texas A&M of the soccer world.
07:38We definitely have the first characteristic you must have to beat Texas A&M under those circumstances,
07:43which is a very large population, and number two, a bunch of dorks as fans.
07:50But then on top of that, Texas A&M has just historically, no matter what the resources are,
07:55no matter what shakes out, no matter what it comes down to, it's an eight-win school.
07:59You're a dork.
08:0111 and 2, sucker.
08:02I feel like it's a little harsh to give the gold to the U.S. team.
08:07I thought it was just going to be given to Beaumont.
08:09That's what I thought Beaumont.
08:11Well, he gets one, too.
08:12It's like a group habit.
08:13Listen, and Beaumont is, first off, I love him.
08:16He's a Houston native as well.
08:18True.
08:19But he's dead wrong on this, just in one piece.
08:23See, A&M, yes, the parallel is there.
08:27All right, the eight-win, yeah, the parallel is there.
08:29We're 11 and 2, bro.
08:30But A&M has had the best players in the sport, though.
08:36They've walked out there with the best players.
08:39About to do it again this year.
08:40The United States has not had Miles Garrett, the equivalent of Miles Garrett on their team,
08:47to where he's the best player on the field.
08:49They have not had Johnny Manziel when he won the Heisman.
08:52They've not had Mike Evans.
08:54Now, these jokers, they've got players, right?
08:57We never sit...
08:58What about Kel Amon?
08:59Well, we never said the United States, they've got the best recruiting class in the country
09:05for multiple years.
09:07That part is wrong.
09:09That's a good point.
09:11But to elaborate on that, because y'all both said, man, didn't expect U.S. soccer to have
09:16the golden turd.
09:16I give it to them not only because of their elimination in the World Cup and the state
09:20of soccer in the U.S., but the way they lost that game to Belgium, and the way they looked,
09:26they looked just...
09:28It was too big.
09:29They were not ready.
09:30Something.
09:31So I give U.S. soccer and Beaumont Jones talking his ish on my Aggies the golden turd of the
09:35week, and it's back.
09:36To be clear, I totally understand why you gave the gold to the...
09:40That was awful.
09:41I think they gave almost their best.
09:43But I would like an honorable mention to...
09:45Yes, yes, please.
09:47In that vein to...
09:48Well, let me tell you.
09:48I give my honorable mention.
09:50Who?
09:51You.
09:52For what you did yesterday.
09:53You deserve a turd.
09:55I still don't understand that.
09:57You deserve a turd.
09:58If I was making my turd list, you'd have got a medal.
10:01It was at random.
10:02No, it's...
10:03All of those, Landon Donovan being at the top of the list, all of those who were taking
10:09out Christian Pulisic for subbing himself out as it came out today that he had a microfracture
10:15in his lower leg, then he's going to be having a sit for weeks.
10:20I think maybe we should cool out a little bit on the guy that had a fracture in his
10:26leg.
10:26That's why he came out there late in that game.
10:29That's a good honorable mention.
10:30I thought maybe we should take a step back there.
10:33A little bit on Christian.
10:34Landon Donovan said, you would have to drag me off that pitch.
10:38Okay.
10:38Well, he had a fracture.
10:41Certainly wouldn't help it, Steve.
