The Milwaukee Brewers Are FRAUDS || Boston Has Entered The Chat Ep. 46
Boston has entered the chat so Jump On In the water’s fine baby Travis Thomas here inside the PNC Bank studio with my man George blei back home in Jersey is that right George one you know a few more hours left and I’ll make the Venture back up north to the motherland of Boston but yeah man hold it down one time one more time in Jersey because why not why not all right taking your phone calls per us on the Boston has entered the chat hotline 61779 9 28 plus you can email us how about that we have one of those here today George the chat nen.com but let’s start here you know it is the dog days of summer George and so it’s only right that we talk about our beloved sport of baseball but here’s what I want to do I want to get creative with you because I’m looking around now at the division leaders around the league and I have a creative question for you which is which one of these current division leaders will not make the playoffs and George I ask you because I looked at all of them I studied all of them and I could only come up with one I don’t believe in the Milwaukee Brewers now to be fair George some of this could just be me projecting because I predicted that they would take a big step back this season and then to show you how much of a I am I actually thought the Cincinnati Reds would win that Division I believe the Pittsburgh Pirates would take a next step and then of course we understood that the Cardinals couldn’t be as bad as they were last season I also even thought the Cubs could be at play here but here we are Brewers on top of that division yet still George maybe again it could just be me being stubborn here I will acknowledge that but I look at these other teams Cardinals little bit over F above 500 right now having a much better season because out of the gate last season they were an absolute train wreck so they do look better the Pirates are capable still not quite living up to the expectations I put on them but they are capable and they’re right there hovering around 500 the reds are a mess I don’t know I guess I was just wrong that’s where I can admit that and then the you said it not me I know and then the Cubs have been a too but I do believe that that division still open enough where I feel confident saying I’ll take my shot on the Brewers falling apart in the second half of the season and not making it but there’s really nowhere else I can go in baseball where I feel that confident George I hate you because I wrote the Brewers is my choice too and it’s because I’m looking at who’s behind them you have the Cardinals in St Louis they can make the leap but it’s more importantly to me it’s Pittsburgh Pirates Jared Jones Paul Mitch Keller they have three great pitchers all those guys with the sub for ER or R Workhorse with a minuscule Whip and I think if you want to pick a team that won’t finish as a division winner you have to have confidence in the teams behind them that can go ahead and play a catchup how many times have we seen the Brewers surging through the regular season and I know that was with Craig councel as their head guy and their Skipper who’s now at the last place Chicago Cubs congrats Craig on getting that paycheck just Justin Steel literally wants to murder you yes but I got to look at the teams that are behind them and that’s why it’s tough identifying it think about some of the first place teams like you see the Guardians there but they’re a proven winner they know what they have the only thing I could give them is if they sell at the deadline like a Shane Bieber but like we said they’re a division leader right now so if they keep this trajectory up then they’ll be fine maybe they buy and they continue to make a push this Brewers franchise is known to plead the poverty saying oh we’re broke we have no money don’t make much moves at the deadline they just dealt Corbin Burns before this season to the Orioles now Burns of course was on the last year of his contract y delt them to the first place Orioles again with that core that Orioles have I don’t see them relinquishing that division lead even with the guys like the Yankees right behind them but this is division leader to miss the playoffs I I need two teams behind have confidence in that can leap them I pick on the Brewers in this one yes Freddy Peralta has been great yes they have young studs at their core and they still have Christian Yelich as a leader in that Dugout but I just think of what the Pirates could become with three good pitchers what the Cardinals can become and only six and a half games behind them the Pirates are nine games behind them y That’s why I picked the Brewers as a team to me most likely to relinquish that division leading lead and for them worst case scenario possible Miss some playoffs would they do it all the way do I have a lot of confidence in this no but it’s all about what are the circumstances and what’s the scenario and for them I have that confidence in scenario yeah I completely agree I I mean I was jotting some notes down while you were talking so the Orioles I’m with you I I actually believe they will win the division but I’m even willing to sort of concede that and say even if they don’t win the division and let’s just for the sake of the combo say the Yankees do I don’t believe the O’s will miss the playoffs like there there’s still two good of a team they they’ll be a wild card and that’s where I was struggling with a lot of these teams and why I picked the Brewers as did you even the Guardians George that division’s really good I I mean if anything it shows how good the guards are because you look at the twins you look at the Royals I mean both of these teams have great records right now and are playing pretty good baseball and yet the Guardians at least at time of this show have a seven game lead over the twins so it’s just like they’re they lights out right now the Guardians are actually really good I have a couple of those cats on my fantasy baseball team so I know it’s a good team and then coming into this is where I go back to like my personal predictions coming into this season I have the Mariners against the Dodgers in the World Series I have a ticket for that and so far Seattle’s making me look like a genius I mean I think that’s a team that’s going to end up in the World Series I don’t believe the Astros are going to catch them and the angels and don’t even get me started on the angels and A’s right so I’m with you there and then on the on the um League side I mean the Phillies I know they have some injuries maybe they could struggle here for a minute but I that’s still too good of a team and their injuries are not catastrophic enough where I feel like they’re going to fall off a cliff and miss the playoffs that’s another example like we talked about with the O’s where even if the Phillies blow it and don’t win the division let’s say the Braves do they’re still going to be a playoff team and then we talked about the Brewers and then the Dodgers are the Avengers okay they got hurt they lost mooki it doesn’t even matter I me this team’s ridiculous so we all know they’re going to win that division so really I mean the only place to go is Milwaukee and by the way George we could be wrong on them too they could win that division neither one of us would bat and I like we could both be wrong we’ll we’ll both acknowledge that right yeah look at Pirates being more likely of being a wild card team that squeaks in that really making noise and ground on the Brewers but you brought it up first with the Guardians of who they have behind them and it’s the twins I don’t have a belief in Minnesota I need those teams that are further down in the standings that I think can fight their way have the Talon to and just overall have the roster construction right now that I believe in that they can make a run that’s right and not just finish and try to beat the team out but finish first or second because if you’re missing the Playoffs to me you’re getting bumped out of that division lead of course you know the Wild Card could be a whole another different story right but it’s also with what the Brewers are and what they have I mean young team good team first year with the manager at their helmet a new manager new voice in that Dugout yeah and we’ll just see what they have I just don’t have the belief in their stallions yeah like I do with the other guys in their division so that’s why I pick on the Brewers in this one and yeah when you’re going through these division leaders throughout Major League Baseball and is either that they are a great team and they’re ready at the top and there’s no way they’re missing the Playoffs yeah or I just don’t believe in the makeup behind them because two things have to go right for them to miss the playoffs or one thing goes right one thing goes wrong one thing going wrong is them fluttering out one thing to go right the two teams behind them making a push one a to win the division the other want to finish with a better record than them pushing him to third in their division and really putting them in Jeopardy of making the playoffs well you heard George and I bump our gums on this we want to hear from you 61779 928 hit us up on the hotline you can also email us the chat nen.com send us your tweets as well all right let’s keep this baseball party rocking George my favorite baseball player Max Scherzer has climbed he has ascended he is now 11th on the all-time strikeouts list oh you know what our esteem producer a Campbell who’s a walking talking triple double I love him but I hate that he’s asking me this because George I am the worst at guessing games he asked a question and I need your help how many of the top 10 ahead of Max sherzer can you name George I am so bad at stuff like this so C can I just let me give you my little BB gun here okay I’m gonna go Nolan Ryan because that’s my childhood that’s my childhood I’m gonna go big unit Randy Johnson yep I’ll go you gotta go Roger Clemens right I’ll go the rocket I think I think you just I’m pretty sure you just named one through three okay good I’ll take it I I know I just Verlander do this so verland okay all right that’s it that’s all I got that’s all I got George that’s all I got you’re going long you’re going longevity on this which is like that’s that’s the framework so those are the three that I would guess off the top to Nolan Ryan alltime strikeouts leader we know that Randy Johnson we know Roger Clemens stud since he stepped in right Justin Verlander we know his 10th the one and it’s because of where I grew up and hearing so much about the Mets I’m very confident Tom I think he’s top six okay well that’s the other thing how can we check we can’t even check this we don’t we don’t know anything we get I’ll pull up the list you know me or we’ll have a speaking into our year all right then so then Pedro I feel like Pedro’s just outside Pedro I didn’t even name Pedro who who’s been great from the jump yeah uh sherer’s 11 15th I was told 15th s s exactly sa Young is sayong there he’s definitely top 20 this is just this is why you shouldn’t play guessing games I mean just enjoy the game you know four guys there’re gonna be four guys that pitched in the 60s and 70s that we have no idea never heard of all right I’m getting the list I can’t take this any so wait wait but so the producer that came up with this a is an LA guy is a Dodgers fan any great Dodgers pictures oh you have the list in front of you I got it yeah you want to gu some more uh I remember when we were doing our our Dodgers mount rushmor a name that came up was Don Sutton Don Sutton yep uh let’s I’ll throw him out there top 10 is he top 10 Don way yes he is by the way George you nailed it Nolan Ryan Randy Johnson Roger Clemens in order one two three you ready for the rest they’re great in longevity H yeah who’s for all right Steve Carlton yeah who’s that I don’t know I mean I know but disrespecting I know disrespect someone like Buster only’s like climbing out of his reclin oh don’t know Carl it’s like dude when did he pitch the 70s 60s and 70s uh yeah I was born in 94 like get off my back Bert Bert belevan I got nothing there you know who B lvin is you know who BT Levin is some weird kid from North Dakota that smells bad and likes pimento cheese sandwiches on Old rye bread with mayonnaise like who’s Burt B it’s it’s blly 11 I’ve been told congratulations Tom cver at six Don you nailed you nailed uh Sutton and um you nailed Siver and Sutton Sutton seven Gaylord Perry eight Walter Johnson I’m surprised I didn’t have that name down I’m surprised too Walter Johnson nine and then berlander there you go I mean who did Walter who did Walter Johnson pitch for I I need a cigarette I don’t even smoke like that just stressed me out I can’t you know I don’t mind talking top 10 list or whatever but when you get the guessing you lose me Walter Johnson pitched for 21 years from 1907 to 1927 this a spitball see that’s my famous slider see no way I would have gotten him yeah no 136 ra one year 114 ra how many innings pitched 110 256 370 all right you know what respect to Walter john9 we got put some respect in fact if if you want to help George and I either guess these names or you want to make fun of us for not knowing the oldtimers 61779 928 the chat nen.com or you can always tweet us all right I’m ready to move on to football if you are because we got to talk about JaMarcus Russell I had hoped that I never had to talk about this guy again in my life I mean what has he done for us besides nothing all he was was the biggest bust in NFL history well now he’s up to it again George we’ve always heard he’s a bad person now we have proof listen to this JaMarcus Russell has been fired as a volunteer assistant coach at his alamada by the way Williamson High School in moob in Mobile Alabama he took a 74 thou wow 74 ,000 check meant as a donation cash that thing he went to a local business owner asking for a donation to help the team purchase a new weit room the school never received the check uhoh Jamarcus deposited it in a credit union then he took out 55,000 for his own money boy I tell you what I mean George this is right on brand with this dude remember the Raiders said they used to give him blank DVDs and say it was Game tape hey go home study this be ready to go and then he come back to practice the next day did you watch the DVD oh yeah I’m ready coach I’m ready baby I watch Blitz packages in the Red Zone yeah yeah yeah I’m ready to go man hey that corner coming off the edge seen that done that not scared not worried wrong they were blank so this does not Shock me at all I mean it’s disappointing George like it’s disgusting but it doesn’t it doesn’t shock me you know what I mean like we already knew this dude’s a loser to the highest level and get stuff like this this is stuff losers do George right this is yeah it’s like stuff that losers do I mean the guy still made like 36 million over the course of his three-year NFL career you’re you’re a volunteer coach at the high school apparently you’re not volunteer because you’re taking 74,000 check cash not taxed you just see this and you’re not surprised it’s link to him because like you said the guy that they would get blank CDs claim he watched it the dude with all the talent in the world when this broke out and I was reading about it and then I also went back and rewatched highlights from his LSU his senior year especially against Notre Dame game literally flick of the wrist the ball goes 60 or 70 yards wherever he wanted it on the field couldn’t make a damn read to save his life but we need like Brandon fell as his receiving group right as one of the guys he’s thrown to like all NFL tal across the field what do you expect this just sucks yeah you have a high school you probably have 74 75k you can float to get them a brand new weight room as is instead you go to a local business in Mobile Alabama it’s not like this guy’s coaching in some big city somewhere where there’s a lot of money go to a local business Mobile Alabama where someone donates 74,000 of their own from their business or from their own pocket supposed to go to the school that you coach don’t even do that so you’re stealing from that business owner you’re stealing from the kids that need that weight room to hopefully get to the dream the dream of playing at college football the dream of getting themselves into a situation where they could get scouted and picked into the NFL the dream that you had and you squandered and you’re just stealing from it I also saw the followup basically he’s banned from the school premises he’s never allowed there ever again he’s banned from many team associate activities there was some event being held for the team as well he showed up and they were like you are not welcome here what an idiot for for that to happen as well says all you need to know about him yeah because the people that he’s been working with and working for dayto day if this was a oneoff they’d go you know what Jamarcus made a big mistake and we understand that but for him to pull this and they go dude you’re out of here we are done it sounds like the last straw yeah and don’t know him don’t know much about him since he was the biggest bust in NFL history in NFL draft history whatever but for it to come out where you do this and it makes sense that the school be like get out of here we don’t want you but like simply ban from the premises stay away from the team we’re hosting these events they know they can use a guy like a JaMarcus Russell I guess I don’t even know how good of a coach he is did he know the game or do you have all this Talent right yeah yeah and again if he’s stealing from a business and and stealing from what should go towards a school who knows how much he’s even helping the program himself if he can financially I don’t want to make it all about money but for them to say get get get away and stay the hell away that says all I need to know about JaMarcus Russell on this one I’m 0% surprised to see that he did all this given what we know about him and it sucks you would hope someone would grow like Ryan Leaf everything he dealt with off the field as well matured as a human beat addiction overcame a lot who he was as an individual you would hope to see the same as Demarcus Russell and just don’t I think that’s a great point I mean even from a football perspective George I was completely wrong about both of them I thought for sure Ryan Leaf and JaMarcus Russell both for the same reasons big physical strong armed I mean they were almost ahead of their time in a sense they were Big Ben rothberger or Cam Newton or and Anthony Richardson some of these physical specimens we see these days where it’s like are you a defensive end oh no you’re a quarterback what so I I thought just off sheer size and athletic ability and and the the just absolute incredibly strong arms that these guys would almost muscle pun intended their way in the NFL and like work and both of them were bust and flamed out for the same reason the mental aspect and look I think you rais a tremendous point about how Ryan Leaf finally recognized it and had some self-awareness and looked in the mirror and did some soul searching and and I actually think that that deserves a lot of credit for anyone any Walk of Life who’s willing to do that hard work and do that and better yourself JaMarcus Russell should do that now I don’t know if he will I doubt it but something like this I believe Ryan Leaf had some um you know some sort of like drug issue and and and you know was in and out of of the uh the of jail quite frankly and court system and all that and it that was kind of like rock bottom for him maybe this should be Rock Bottom for JaMarcus Russell to realize like oh my high school where I’m sure he was a god up until this point has shunn me away and you know what George like the kids lose like I I actually think somebody what’s a school called Williamson High School someone in the administration really fumbled this and dropped the ball and and I think they deserve a little bit it’s it is Demarcus Russell’s fault but there needs to be some accountability had too in the administrative office side of things because the kids lose here but you got to understand I mean if someone is Shady with money are you going to hire them to be a treasurer of something hell no if someone um you know passes the buck blames other people or or never accepts accountability or responsibility are you going to hire them as a the school principal or like a a position of leadership no so with this JaMarcus Russell story what do you mean he took a $75,000 check what the hell is he around a $75,000 check for like he he has already had in other words George this dude’s had a history of questionable decision making and bad character why is he around the money just show up in fact I don’t I wouldn’t want him coaching I wouldn’t want want him teaching my kids how to I would want him to show up and give us a speech of what not to do or maybe if I have some knucklehead guys on the team which every team does hell I was one of them I’m putting the Knuckleheads with Demarcus Russell hey man go to the OG get some game on how not to act and then that way if some sketchy starts happening you get wind of it and you shun them but now you’re screwed because these kids can’t get a new weit room cuz he he effed all the money up George like some of the administration put him in this position of power and that was a huge mistake and a red flag from the beginning I don’t know because I take this story actually as he probably knew this guy that ran local business as an assistant coach at the school probably played the guy and I think the dude that wrote the check or the lady whoever owns a local business raise the red flag hey uh I wrote a check and it didn’t get cashed by the school or maybe you know something happened down the lineen right all a sudden they felt something sketchy happening or maybe they followed up with someone at the school hey did you get my $74,000 donation they go what right and then he goes to his check goes to his bank finds out where it got deposited so I don’t know if it’s on the fall of the school they took a guy that he probably you know someone like this what is it con artist in a way right yeah where like you said like they can be shady and it’s probably Shady with goes to the school wanted to coach maybe it was genuine you know want to be around football in some way give back to his community he’s living there whatever went to a local business hey man we could really use money for a new weight room maybe this guy even you know just tipe with him it’s JaMarcus Russell this beh of a guy probably a smooth talker or something right and when how can I help out the team you know how can I help out the kids what can I do man we could really use a new weight room all right cool here’s a check let me know what to you use with it and I think JaMarcus Russell turned around did it fraudulently just put it in his own bank account so I don’t really blame the school on this one because I think with their response to it to immediately ban him from the team ban him from even walking on the grounds of the high school being around at all right I think they did the right thing it’s just someone like him because he could have went to the guy himself hey I always go to this restaurant I always eat always eat here you want to help out the team we’ll put you as a sponsor we’ll have Your sponsorship Behind The End Zone we’ll put your name on the weight cool here’s a check awesome thank you goes puts it for himself withdraws 55k of his own gets a brand new car or something you know so I don’t know I I think this is more on Demarcus I don’t blame too much on Williamson High School by the way George as a meathead do you feel as though $74,000 is more or less than you thought to build a weight room it’s less maybe it was like to get a new part of it but like you need you need you need six figures to get off the ground and running you know and like schools iar Le this in Missouri it’s very smart they can get around with this where I lived in Missouri was Tornado Alley a tornado shelter doubles as like an indoor practice facility you walk in a tornado shelter and you’re like oh wait there’s Turf on the ground there’s a weight room over there that’s what a lot of high schools in the area do but anyhow uh I’m assuming you know I haven’t looked at the price of a squat rack in a while maybe 74,000 can get you new equipment I’m thinking of completely new weight room so I could be out of touch I haven’t looked in a while we’ll do this thing where you filibuster and I’ll look up a brand new squat rack welcome to Boston has entered the wait room let me tell you something brother when you’re when you lay down on that bench you got to have your mind made up that you’re gonna bench Rhode Island brother no matter what it takes all right you look that up you can get you can get oh wait hold on hold on hold on this is a jersey this is a jersey in you so starting you can get a rack for 900 $30 there you go rack bench barbell 230b bumper plate set 55 pound uh urethane plates that’s 2400 that would run you but this is all in one with the cable set this looks very efficient because you’re working on entire high school team it’s all about timing timing timing uh so400 you would need about six of these racks so let’s some quick math folks minimum are you are you listening and watching what’s happening do you see the P 14,000 2 can you see the passion that George has in Breaking this down people this is you know what this wouldn’t this wouldn’t just be a wait room for the football team and be the whole high school so racks alone that’s 24K and then I’m guessing a dumbbell set you want two sets of dumbbells let’s say that’ll run you another six and then I guess you renovate the area so I guess 74,000 if you already have the space laid out can get you a brand new weight room in a high school so I don’t think that’s that bad uh I guess 74,000 covers it I went to a quick Google link found my first Power rack that I like let’s go Rogue Fitness real quick though you always have to shop around I apologize to everyone involved 910 yeah this is your fault Trav monster light cave okay so I looked at squat racks then you have oh 57,000 so let’s or 5700 so 24,000 plus 57 100 so around 30k gets you your squat rack then you need leg press oh the leg you can’t forget the leg press you can’t you need two sets of dumbbells I think I think 74 thou can cover it again you have the space ready it’s all about how much you need so thanks I’m doing some Sting Scouting For My Future home gym you know if you two would like to pile on to the piece of Shack that Demarcus Russell is or perhaps you’d like to talk micronutrients and macronutrients and preworkouts with George 61779 928 you can also email us the chat ness.com while George continues to look that up I’d like to Pivot to the NBA now GB I haven’t seen you since the draft has been over and really we could get into the Weeds about what teams you like you know as far as La pull down machines run 2000 you got to get the L you need you need you need a lap pull down machine I don’t care you got to get the lats yeah it’s multi-purpose too uh that’s 2K we’re at 32,000 George while you continue to do math let me ask you about bronnie here because we could go into the weeds of winners and losers and all that from the draft but bronnie goes to the Lakers you and I predicted this would happen he goes 55th overall uh what did you I haven’t talked to you since what did you make of it because I laughed out loud I went ha of course he goes to the Lakers of course they take him I mean good for the kid George because I I look he needed to go back to school he needed to go back to to the waight room and and the leg press and all the lap machines and all that because I I think his game needs development but yeah here he is he’s a Laker George I’m not shocked are you uh no I’m not shocked at all I mean it’s the guy that his dad is the most powerful person in the NBA Rich Paul is the most powerful agent in NBA so it’s more than just LeBron’s son right it’s LeBron’s son who also Rich Paul’s like an uncle to him maybe he is an uncle you know what I mean it calls him Uncle Rich whatever it may be him a Carter credit to LeBron like living the dream of got his source of income and got the foundation of what you need to be successful in this country which is money yep gave it to his boys and they took it and made names of their own because mavick Carter is his own person Rich Paul’s his own person just to name a few and so on and so forth y he gets picked with the 55th pick we all saw him coming from a mile away I said it when I was on the chat with Tay and I said it on hold my banner Helen Keller saw this coming yeah what gets me is the way it went about where rich Paul comes out says to all other teams do not draft bronny Jr if you draft him we’ll send him to Australia that would be a good thing because a kid still needs to develop he’s 6′ one he’s decently athletic his comps are like a Trey McBride or DAV Mitchell but those guys were both better than him when he was in college Davon Mitchell was the best defender on a national championship team sure with Rony Jr he was averaging Four Points two assists 19 minutes a game for a team that finished ninth in the Pack 12 at USC I said it and I put this out a while ago he should have stayed in college and he should have stayed at USC with Eric muselman obiously a guy that has a track record of developing and sending talent to the NBA from Arkansas that’s right let alone USC I think the way it all went about and then Rich Paul comes out and says what’s your development plan what’s your investment he’s not signing a two-way contract dude he needs to go to the G League to actually play right he needs to go to the G League to put up 20 shots a night now the other comparison people go to is you all care about the 55th pick but you didn’t care about a thanasis atmo who was picked 51st in the 2014 draft or a Costa attenta kmo who is 60th overall in his draft you know where thanasis went the Delaware 87ers the Westchester Knicks you know where Costas went Texas Legends Mavericks South Bay Lakers Wendy City Bulls those guys sure they got drafted because they were giannis’s brothers and what the Bucks did by signing thanasis signing thanasis was hey jannis we’re doing this to keep you here family all that what the Lakers did by drafting coltice was when you’re a free agent hey LeBron your brother’s here in uh Giannis your brother’s here in La come along those guys went developed bronne needs to develop I just think the way it’s all going about it’s not in the best interest of the kid he’s not an NBA player right now could he be one one day sure I’m not going to say he isn’t one right now but if you’re not going to let him sign a two-way and go to the G league and if you’re gonna put it in where he he’s gonna get drafted 55th and who knows what’s happening behind the scenes are you going to him hey dude come on come out we’ll get you draft to 55th we play with your dad before he gets old he’s with the Lakers don’t worry maybe Bron’s like maybe I want to stay at USC maybe I want to stay at College keep developing keep playing better I want to go in and actually be a good player because what I wonder now is if he’s not signing a two-way but he’s not playing in the NBA do the rumbles come out where he has to start playing significant minutes I don’t know what it’s going to become so I think it’s incredible that LeBron james’ son got drafted to the NBA when LeBron James is still one of the best players in the world and not like an eighth man Off the Bench with no leaping a ability and a sh of himself because he still is one of the best players in the world I just think the whole way it’s going down where his development is being stunted and I don’t know if he’ll actually ever develop to what he truly his ceiling is because I think these are such significant years for his development and I say all this with him of course suffering that Cardiac Arrest last summer who knows how it affected him down the line two years pass that maybe he’s in a better place physically all that so we’ll see I just hate the way it went down and for Rich Paul to come out and say all this don’t draft him if you’re another team he’s not signing a two-way he’s coming out right now because I don’t know if it’s in the best interest for the kid listen LeBron James is the Alpha and the Omega for the Lakers we understand that so it’s going to go down as you said does this mean he’s going to play significant minutes is he it’s going to go down however dad wants okay LeBron’s calling the shots there we know that that’s why bronnie is there that’s why JJ reck is the head coach that’s LeBron wanted and he’s there he has no experience either in fact we have a fan email from our guy Nigel and if you want to send us emails send it to the chat nen.com you can also always call us on the hotline 61779 928 but Nigel says is JJ reck the right head coach to lead the Lakers Nigel the answer is not no it’s hell no and we all know it but the issue here is that’s what LeBron wanted and by the way George JJ reck may make a fine coach what’s going on there in LA in my opinion is delusion it’s like okay even if this guy can coach and you’re and you’re good let’s say they have a good season LeBron plays well Anthony Davis stays healthy which never happens bronn’s a contributor everything works you are still a six seed at best in the west who is so loaded and so deep and you are not beating the Nuggets you are not beating the Thunder and the Mavs I I mean the Timberwolves you’re not beating any of these damn teams and so I think the Lakers organization is so they’re they’re just they’re out of it George they they don’t have any reality it’s all delusional so even if JJ reck is the right guy which I don’t think he is but let’s say he does a tremendous job congratulations what do you win and and maybe an inseason tournament again and a six seed to get bounced by Joker please this is a disaster George they got the head coach that is best friends with LeBron does a podcast with him they drafted his son I know LeBron came out and said hey I’m gonna opt out but I’ll take a pay cut if we get another Superstar if not I’m gonna max out dude you should be taking a pay cut as is help out this team as much as possible to build out this roster yeah because if you want to get one more ring and that’d be your fifth in your career then it’d be big time talking no matter what is JJ reick the right coach of lead the Lakers no he has no prior experience I’ve said this like the Sam cassels who was in on the bench for the Boston Celtics yeah before he arrived to Boston as that assistant role is highly spoken about highly regarded in coaching circles as a former player players love him love coaching being coached by him loved playing with him he’s a guy that can relate to the NBA players but also is smart enough to coach in the game a guy like that would make sense to me go to a Warriors bench pluck someone from there but someone who literal experience in coaching basketball is his Elementary aged son’s aaou team how does that translate to the NBA and JJ reck who I love him on his podcast I do listen to Old Man three I do think it’s great I do like him in studio coverage when he’s on ESPN but this is a guy that always sides with the players never have the hard conversations right wouldn’t call them out maybe there’s a cod to Arms there as a former player in the media and I’m sure he did a longer he would start doing that but when you have to start calling these grown millionaires out can you do it can you be a mother effort and I don’t know if he can so I don’t think JJ reck’s the right call for this at all because also these are pivotal years for LeBron he is old who who knows how many more years with good health he has left in the league and how many more years of an impact player he has left you have to capitalize on these last few years with LeBron and the Lakers aren’t doing that by hiring JJ I don’t know if it was chicken or the egg I don’t know if it was LeBron saying I’m going to leave unless you hire JJ or Lebron saying I want JJ or the Lakers going LeBron’s gonna leave we have to hire JJ because he likes him because LeBron went all in after Danny Hurley he wanted him this was your second option I’m not a big believer in Hurley his style translating to the NBA either but at least Harley was a coach you go with JJ reck who’s never done before at any significant level and now you want to be making in-game adjustments in the NBA and also managing personalities no I I don’t see yeah I think it was a package deal I think it was bronnie and a coach and a coach would kind of figure itself out as time went on but that’s what I think it was I think it was a package deal all right for all the latest on all things NBA and the Celtics check out hold my banner tune in on ness’s YouTube Facebook twitch wherever you get your podcast make sure you follow us on all your social media accounts for all of our best content of the day all right George Let’s Skate on over to the ice now did you see the Florida Panthers parade I mean where were the people bro I know it was pouring rain out there but uh you know coming from a place that knows how to throw Championship parades here in Boston this is pathetic George yeah rain or not people in Florida don’t care what is there this is like Local High School pep rally attendance this looks like Jamarcus Russell’s High School too soon I am I am happy for the Panthers I think it’s a cool story that they won but this is what you expect I mean I’ve said it I think the Panthers are one of the most like forgettable franchises in all pro sports where you’re just like oh yeah the Florida Panthers exist I’m not surprised the fan bases like this I think it’s tough unless you’re the Dolphins because even heat think about the Miami Heat playoff games it’s tough to get people to show up on time or at a halftime or stick through the whole game for the Florida Panthers I’m not surprised by this at all honestly and it just shows the difference you get it and it doesn’t have to be a big city like Boston go to the Kansas City Royals when they won the World Series or the Chiefs when they’ve won their Super Bowls how many people show up the passion is there for those a small Market City like that in KC yes they have the best player in the league I’m not surprised with this for the Florida Panthers at all the hockey team of Florida bro even in DC bro I mean it’s politics wine and cheese in that town and people still turned up for the Nationals and the capitals this is this is embarrassing now the Panthers as a team as an organization deserved and earned the Stanley Cup so good for them that counts those are hard to win you got one congratulations to you and you may get more because I think that team set up for future success and obviously all those players and coaches your checks don’t bounce baby so good for you you’re cashing in on being a champ you should stack your paper as high as it’ll get but the fans down there should be embarrassed for this however you know tens of 20s of fans they have you should be embarrassed and by the way all I could think about was Edmonton because if the oil had won oh my God it would have been a a just a absolute party uh and and you would have had the best player in the world out there celebrating a Stanley Cup so you know hey post Stanley Cup here it’s a loss for hockey to see what happened more hockey news max doy reigning with the Leafs George four-year deal he got paid about 4 mil anely uh what does this mean for the Leafs in your guesstimation I guess you’re not completely blowing up the coure I think this is cool for Max doy a guy that’s bounced around a lot throughout the league his first few years had a career year playing there up in Tampa but I think it says what they’re going to do with the roster moving forward and I didn’t think they’d move on you know from Austin Matthews of course let alone but like their top six I think that’s a team though you still have to shake it up but do was a guy that would you know I guess kind of bring toughness I mean he was messing with Jeremy SW if you’re messing with the goalie I don’t know how tough you can be but a guy that played great for them if they go and they get him and hey there’s something right with him here in Toronto for them to take advantage of that and resign I think that’s a smart signing and for him cool to see him get paid again a guy that bounced around a lot throughout the league but had an awesome year especially in five on five hockey when playing for the leads I think it’s Groundhogs Day they’re going to run this back they’re going to be a finessed team they’re going to score a bunch of goals and then they’re going to get their ass beat in the playoffs this is what they do and they’ll just blame a coach they’ll just keep running through coaches it’s what the leads do how about this Jake gensel traded to the lightning for a third round pick what’s going on with gel’s career he’s just bouncing around now now I’m not going to lie to you you know what does this mean for Stam Coast like is is he available here we talk I mean the the gensel news was shocking to me a bit George cuz I thought the canes would hang on to that I thought knew he was a rental and they were going for it but I thought they’d find a way to make it work and keep him long term I was shocked by this I thought the same thing especially what they gave up to trade for him but I mean it’s the guy that’ll slot him with kucherov and Braden point on the top line maybe Celli on the second line they have a great top six and you said it this trade coincides with likely stamp Coast leaving which will be so weird to see him not in a lightning sweater but stamp Co about to be 34 gensel getting into his 30s I think it’s lightning doing what they can to capitalize on that court of having point kucherov there and see what they can do it’s just going to be very weird to see Stam Coast in another team’s uni Bruins Jersey George question mark Stam Coast I’d love it oh my God are you kidding me Stam Coast in this Bruins top six I would absolutely love it h how about that can we get that can we get that trending he can slot him with pasta on the first line or zaka on the second and he can play center or wing it doesn’t like he’s had so much versatility I I floated stamp Coast out there yeah of course bro it’s what is what is the length of the contract is what I want to know right and I I mean listen we have to have this combo too I know we’re running out of time here but it’s a lot of miles on that guy right like that’s that’s a lot of playoffs a lot of Stanley Cups a lot of big games you know what he brings to you because of that fantastic but George like how much tread is on those tires right I know I still want a lias lindol that’s a priority to me I agree I agree I’m with you we’re we’re in lock step there well listen George I got to tell you I mean I even though you went all Meathead on me and you you built us a a private like world class gym on the on the cheap uh I thought this was a fantastic program I’m not going to lie man and I I love I can’t wait to have you back in studio but Jersey George may be my favorite George you know right before this show I had two slices of broccoli Rob pizza with sauce I’mma hop off I’m going to have a bagel some chive cream cheese salmon locks as well and then on my way out of here maybe I’ll grab like a chicken Nano from Neil’s Pizzeria when I’m here you know what it’s all about bro it’s the good food you don’t get anything like this anywhere else in the world best state that ever was or ever will be you know how Jersey is bro for Travis Thomas here inside the PNC Bank studio and George mlei who’s going to Jim tan and laundry we’ll see you next time on Boston has entered the chat peace
