Speaker 1 On today's Pardon My Take, we have have recurring guest Rob Gronkowski.

Speaker 1 We actually forgot we had this interview because we did so many in the last couple weeks, but and also because hanging out with Rob Gronkowski is a drug, so we blacked out.

Speaker 1 Yes, but then I read it back and it is very, very funny because Rob Gronkowski is a very funny individual.

Speaker 1 We have Tony Romo, we have a Tom Brady update, which I think is just going to be part of the show until he decides where he's going to play football next year, who's back of the week, PR 101 for James Harden, maybe pooping his pants, and a lot more from a great sports weekend.

Speaker 1 Pardon my take is Bruck.

Speaker 3 When cool, creamy ranch meets tangy, bold buffalo, the whole is greater than the sum of its sauce. Say howdy, partner, to new Buffalo Ranch sauce only at McDonald's for a limited time.

Speaker 4 At participating, McDonald's.

Speaker 1 Let's go.

Speaker 1 Now in the streets, there is violence.

Speaker 1 And then a lot of some work will be done.

Speaker 1 Looks behind a low washing.

Speaker 1 And then I can name all on the sun. Oh, no, we're gonna rock down to Elite Trick Avenue.

Speaker 1 And then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 1 Oh, we're gonna rock down to Elite Trick Avenue.

Speaker 1 Stew Sports.

Speaker 1 Welcome to Pardon My Take presented by the Cash App. It is Bad Beats Monday.

Speaker 1 Use the hashtag BadBeats Monday and tweet your bad beats to at part of my take and at Cash App and they will make some of the AWLs partially whole again after their bad beats.

Speaker 1 Today is Monday, March 2nd.

Speaker 1 This is March. This is officially March.
We had to wait actually.

Speaker 1 One of the best sports months of the entire calendar. Easily, easily.
There's just something about

Speaker 1 when the calendar turns to March. I talked about it last week.
The air starts to get a little bit warmer. March Madness is here.
St. Patrick's Day.
It's like, ooh, here comes spring.

Speaker 1 And you get to basically watch sports all March long and get to say, this is March. I think we're going to break a record this year for the amount of times this is March is uttered.

Speaker 1 Shout out to our friend John Rostein for creating that phrase. I would actually say that March is having a moment right now.
Yes.

Speaker 1 March is hot for sure. Yeah, I love everything about the sports month of March.
It's probably the best day drinking month of the entire year, too. Agreed.
Agreed. In terms of sports.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 summer, like you just day drink all the time. Day drinking whilst watching sports, that's what I think of when I think of March.
I think of conference tournaments and college basketball.

Speaker 1 I think of the obviously the NCAA tournament, which has four of the biggest day drinking days. Yes.
Just of the entire calendar.

Speaker 1 It's the best time to basically be like, well, I'm watching a game at noon. Might as well have a beer.
Fellas, time to start scheduling those vasectomies right now. Like we all do.
Oh, bro.

Speaker 1 We all do. You're late.

Speaker 1 If you're scheduling right now, you have been scheduling.

Speaker 1 I have a standing appointment every year. You've got to schedule that thing.
And it's seriously ridiculous. I have seasoned tickets to my urologists.

Speaker 1 You come in the day before the NCAA tournament, just like all the fellas do. It's packed in there.

Speaker 1 Who's overworked more in the month of March? Urologists, bartenders, or tax attorneys?

Speaker 1 Definitely not tax attorneys. Well, I mean, this is like April is their month.
No, but they have to gear up for April.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but this is the time when anyone you know who works in taxes is like going to be at the office on Saturday, gonna be at the office on Sunday. You know, the biz.

Speaker 1 So the big-time tax biz, always fun. All right, so that was, so it's March.
We're excited for March. The other big news that happened this weekend, Tony Romo got fucking paid.

Speaker 1 Was it $17 million a year? $17 million a year, possibly 10-year contract.

Speaker 1 Holy fucking shit. That means that he's going to make pretty much a million dollars a game.
Now, my big question is: does he get to skip certain games to go play in golf tournaments still?

Speaker 1 I think he probably has to show up for every game. If he's getting paid that much per year, yes.
I don't know. Not worth it, Tony.

Speaker 1 If you can't sneak away to playing like the Bob Hope Pro-Am on like October 11th, is it really worth it?

Speaker 1 He is, we had a bunch of people saying, like, oh my God, look at Tony Romo's first contract to the NFL. Now look at how much he's making.
Yeah, he's making a lot, a lot more. He's making a lot more.

Speaker 1 I saw there was also a take that they shouldn't sign the CBA because Tony Romo is going to be making more broadcasting than like 90% of the league.

Speaker 1 I don't really know how those are correlated, but let's go for it. Why not? Tony Romo's rich.

Speaker 1 Do you have to take into account the fact that if he was going to go to ESPN, he would have to work nights? And that's like maybe

Speaker 1 he doesn't like staying up late. Well, maybe.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, i i agree with that you were trying to i last i heard the number 20 million got thrown out there and i don't know if the i don't know if they were actually thinking about paying him 20 million but the fact that they said 20 million and i was like yeah okay i could see it well that's what got him up to 17 million it was the perfect right place right time for tony romo and obviously he's good at his job even though some of his yeah some of his announcing

Speaker 1 i don't know but he's obviously good at his job but it was the right place right time because espn and abc want to get in the super bowl rotation and they don't have a booth right now.

Speaker 1 It's always been in flux. So they're like, hey, if we get Tony Romo, everyone loves Tony Romo, we'll get the fucking Super Bowl.
I think they're also thinking that the NFL just loves Tony Romo.

Speaker 1 Roger Goodell absolutely has a boner for Tony Romo. And I think they were just.

Speaker 1 ESPN was thinking, if we get him in our booth, then maybe we'll get like some Steelers-Patriots matchups on Monday night football. Figure it out later.

Speaker 1 Maybe they'll stop giving us like Jets-Browns all the time on Monday night. And so that, to them, would have been a good investment.

Speaker 1 Just like having a guy that Roger Goodell likes working for your company will make Roger Goodell just like give you all the business advantages.

Speaker 1 All the money. Absolutely.
So that was the big news in non-sport, well, it's sports, but in the broadcasting world. I would say that this is broadcasting's equivalent of winning a Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 Just in general, like the sport of broadcasting, this is their biggest moment. I actually, maybe not winning a Super Bowl, but it's like their Bryce Harper contract.
Right.

Speaker 1 You know, like, hey, everyone's going to eat better because because this guy got paid. Tony Romo lifts the entire league up.
The rising tide lifts all boats. Tony Romo and JFK.
Hell yeah.

Speaker 1 Wait, was that JFK that said that? I think it was. I don't know.
It was Noah, actually.

Speaker 1 Noah said that. In the Bible.
He said that?

Speaker 1 I was thinking JFK said it when his brother went over the bridge and then left the car. Gotcha.

Speaker 1 All right. So we also have the Combine.
Combine wrap-up. So we have a couple stories from the Combine.
One, Isaiah Simmons wowed everyone, which isn't really like that.

Speaker 1 I love when the combine when a really good player does something great at the combine you're like yeah he was a really good player he was always a really good player he was awesome at clunch but now we can measure him yes now we can measure him uh we had wait so his his measurables though he ran what like a 439 or something like 40 yard dash he's like 240 pounds broad jumped 11 feet was like a 35 36 inch vertical he's a freak he's a freak he gets the freak label i think every year at the combine they should declare a winner well we had a few freaks So Isaiah Simmons was up there.

Speaker 1 Jonathan Taylor actually was up there too because he ran a 40. I think he ran a 43940, which was the fastest 40 for a running back over 225 pounds.

Speaker 1 So it was basically he and Saquon Barkley are the only ones who've done that. I feel like every year.
Power and speed.

Speaker 1 Like, I get less and less impressed by the numbers, though, because I've seen them so much. Right.
Like, you lose track of what an insane like that. You said, how fast was it?

Speaker 1 438, 439. For somebody that big to run that quickly, it's actually scary.
Hold on. Think about it.
Hold on. I got one more for you then.
If you like that one, PFT, get your pants on.

Speaker 1 You ready for this? Louisville's offensive lineman, Makai Bechton, 364 pounds, ran a 5'11.40. That's scary.
A 5'11.40. That's scary.

Speaker 1 That's so much faster than any of us could run a 40, and he's 364 pounds. It's terrifying.
It's terrifying.

Speaker 1 And it's also great for an offensive lineman because, like, no offensive lineman ever has to run 40 yards. Right.
I think like,

Speaker 1 if you were to take all the offensive linemen right now, for the most part, let's call them like five, six-year veterans in the NFL, most of them would not crack 5-5.

Speaker 1 Because you don't train for explosive bursts of speed over the course of 40 yards. You're like a short-yardage guy.

Speaker 1 How about the fact that half the plays, they legally are not even allowed to run down the field? Right.

Speaker 1 So their back pedals get better. It's great that we have that, though.

Speaker 1 It was actually one of those 40s that was very impressive to just see a man that size moving that fast and you're like holy fuck these guys are such insane athletes most even the fat guys most impressive 40s of my life i would say uh dantari poe's 40 that he ran like eight years ago when he was he was just a massive dude moving big to davion clowny when he ran the hand-timed one that came in unofficially super super fast chris johnson chris johnson shake him griffin when he ran like a 4-3-1 and then they had to change it and add like a couple hundredths of a second to it and then obviously chris jones when his dick broke through his pants.

Speaker 1 Did you see Henry Ruggs running his 40 and they put up the fastest 40 times since 2003? And it's literally just a list of busts. Like no one is good on it.
So it was like

Speaker 1 Hayward Bay,

Speaker 1 Jacoby Ford, J.J. Nelson, Calico.
I don't even remember that guy. Goodwin, who's on the 49ers, Mathis and John Ross.
Okay. But John Ross

Speaker 1 is too early to tell with John Ross. Hayward Bay,

Speaker 1 not a terrible career, but if you'd been picked like late in the first round, we wouldn't call him a bust, but since the Raiders, that's on Mark Davis.

Speaker 1 Well, it was one of those moments that I think, you know, every now and then you catch yourself having a thought that then Skip Bayless is actually going to use a whole show to make that same point.

Speaker 1 But I had the thought while I was watching it, is being really fast actually bad? Is there a point where being so fast is diminishing returns?

Speaker 1 Yes, because then everyone said Tyree Kale, and I was like, yeah, good point. Well, that's only if you have a quarterback with a giant arm.
True.

Speaker 1 So the faster you are, the faster you're out of position. And maybe you don't run the routes

Speaker 1 as well because you can't keep your body under control. You learn it as a crutch.
Right. Like maybe a DK Metcalf.
Hard to get in and out of cuts.

Speaker 1 And then the last Combine story. I don't know if you saw this PFT, but I love this story.

Speaker 1 We're slowly getting the leaks of Combine interviews. So this was a leak.
There's actually, I think, a video got leaked out.

Speaker 1 Washington tackle Trey Adams was asked, if you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?

Speaker 1 Can you guess what he said? If you you don't know the answer. If you could change anything about yourself, the fact that I went to college at Washington.
Okay.

Speaker 1 His answer was close.

Speaker 1 A bigger dick. Really? Yes, he said I would like to have a bigger dick.
Okay. Pretty fucking honest.
Well, why not? And listen, this doesn't imply that he has a small penis. No, it's a bigger one.

Speaker 1 If you ask like any guy, it doesn't matter if they're like two-tone Malone or whatever his name is. They're just like, yeah, it'd be nice to have a couple extra inches.

Speaker 1 There is that one guy who, remember that story? I think he was in India. He had such a big dick that he was like, it's actually painful.
Yeah, and like it

Speaker 1 reaches the point where

Speaker 1 it reaches a point where it's painful for your partner, too. But even get

Speaker 1 that point.

Speaker 1 He had to carry it. He had to pick it up and carry it when he walked places.
Throw it over his shoulder like a backpack. So he's the only person in the entire world who would answer that question.

Speaker 1 I would actually kind of like to maybe have a smaller dick. Yeah, you could always, listen, guys will always want a faster car, a little bit more money, and maybe like a couple inches on the head.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so good, good answer by him. Very honest answer.
So that was the Combine wrap-up.

Speaker 1 By the way, if you want to watch us, barstoolgold.com slash PMT, we have the Gronk interview videotaped, obviously. We were with him down in

Speaker 1 Super Bowl. What were you going to say, PM? One of the things.
So at the Combine, went out on Wednesday night, ran into Rich Eisen, who ran the 40 in 5.98 seconds, which is pretty huge.

Speaker 1 He just always tries to break six seconds

Speaker 1 for St. Jude.

Speaker 1 Next year, he should have to put on a body vest that makes him the size of Makai Bechton and see how fast he's going to suit he has to put on 150 pounds yes get dressed up as the nutty professor yeah and then run the 40 that would be like put a new wrinkle on it I know it's for charity and it makes it fun and it is fun but let's start some new wrinkles let's let's go fat suit or maybe he even has to gain that weight between now and next year so I ran into him at uh at the steakhouse bar there on Wednesday night I was like hey Rich how's it going he gave me chilies you can say chilies yeah I was at chilies too it was at express he was picking up and order like a tortilla salad or something he shook my hand he's like PFT, good to see you.

Speaker 1 Seriously, though, how come you guys said you wanted to kill me when you interviewed Brian Koppelman? Because we do. We're like, sorry, Rich.
I think we have to kill you. It's called art, Rich.

Speaker 1 It's called a fucking plotline. Listen, we're trying to tie up the end of one of the best TV series to ever hit prestige television, and the only way to do it would be to just calmly slit your throat,

Speaker 1 watch you bleed out, make it quick. Yeah, we'll make you update.
It's dramatic. We only have one chance.
There's only one chance to film this.

Speaker 1 Honestly, like, I would probably think about giving my life if it meant one of the greatest series of television history would ever land the plane correctly. Right.
Like, I'd be fine with that.

Speaker 1 People would not complain.

Speaker 1 If you could basically say, no one can complain about this finale if I get murdered on screen in it, but in real life,

Speaker 1 you'd have to at least think. So, Rich, just take one for the team.
We like you, but I mean, we have to. Do the right thing, dude.
Yeah, do the right thing.

Speaker 1 All right, so we now have to do our Tom Brady update, which is going to be part of this show pretty much every single day, part of every show in the world until he decides where he's playing football.

Speaker 1 Hank, where are you with the Tom Brady, Julian Edelman,

Speaker 1 lip reading? Julian Edelman was clearly saying he's coming back, he's coming back. Then there was Tom Brady.
I don't know if you saw his PFT on the Syracuse sideline

Speaker 1 saying,

Speaker 1 either said,

Speaker 1 I'm not

Speaker 1 or he said this guy. I'm not or this guy.
I'm not this guy? No, he's either said this guy, like, look at Edelman.

Speaker 5 Because the the one the body language was interesting because edelman was saying it and then edelman was like wait tom's not laughing and then tom said this guy see it was reassuring to me the body language to me was like an older brother little brother situation i've seen it with like you guys before where i say something that's like funny you know we're messing around but you guys might not think it's funny but to me it was more of like uh they've talked Edelman felt comfortable enough to be like he's coming back knowing that he's going to come back eventually and Brady's look was like the

Speaker 5 come on man like this guy like this guy this guy's really doing this right now.

Speaker 1 Like, that's the shirt behind the scenes.

Speaker 5 It was like, what the fuck?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I was saving it for my Hulu ad.

Speaker 5 And as far as Rabel goes, when you win a championship,

Speaker 5 when you win, like, they are close, obviously, they're friends. They're all friends.
They've won championships together. Like, they're boys.
It's not weird for you to face it.

Speaker 1 Facetime your boy.

Speaker 5 I don't, that to me is like an overblown, like, oh, my God, he's going to the Titans. Like, I think how that operation would be going.

Speaker 1 Brady would never be doing serious talks to know to know that, we would have to get, and

Speaker 1 I wish this had happened before we had talked to Coach Vrabel, but we would have to know how many times does Vrabel FaceTime with Edelman and Brady in like a given year.

Speaker 1 Okay, so we need Julian to send us, Julian, you're listening to us right now. Send us a screenshot of your most recent FaceTimes so we can do the math on that.

Speaker 1 I feel like, yeah, the Tom Brady look where he's like, oh, come on, man, you're embarrassing me. Play it cool.
That's probably a look that Tom Brady gives no less than 15 times a day. Every time.

Speaker 1 Because he's always hanging out with somebody that is like little brother. No one is Tom Brady's big brother.

Speaker 1 It's yeah, it's a weird dynamic for him now that he's been in the NFL for like two decades that everyone he hangs out with is 20 years old. Yeah, I kind of like working at barstool.

Speaker 1 I also always assume that whenever there's like a wide receiver hanging out with Tom Brady in public somewhere, that that guy's on Molly. Yeah.
Like Wes Welker or about to become

Speaker 1 one or the other.

Speaker 1 But yeah, if I were Hank, hypothetically,

Speaker 1 this would definitely scare me a little bit. The fact that Vrabel and Brady are talking to each other and communicating a little bit.

Speaker 1 Also, this story has gotten to the point where

Speaker 1 if Tom Brady is seen in public, it's a story about which way he's going.

Speaker 1 He just has to exist, and it's a headline. I'm so glad that it's reached this point for Tom Brady, too, because we never

Speaker 1 had that before. We've never, ever been able to discuss, like, what if Tom Brady is not a patriot?

Speaker 1 I think part of him actually likes, you know, the fact that this is, you know, everyone's going to talk about, hey, he's a free agent. He's still one of the best quarterbacks in the league.

Speaker 1 Like, that's part of why being a free agent is fun.

Speaker 1 And as we've said, though, on this show, he is going back to New England. Yes.
We reported that. We have reported that.
We put our reputation that we don't care about on that fact.

Speaker 1 It was a consensus.

Speaker 1 A consensus

Speaker 1 opinion. Yeah, all three of us got together, we talked about it, and that was what we decided.
Maybe Tom Brady will try to go into the booth. Tom Brady could probably get paid more than Tony Romo

Speaker 1 to go into the booth right now. How awesome would that be? By the way, Cuddy coming out of the no, you know who really's made money this weekend? Peyton Manning, PayPay.

Speaker 1 PayPay's going to get a big time offer because he always said he didn't want to do it. He didn't want to do it while Eli was still playing.
So Peipe is going to get paid, paid.

Speaker 1 How awesome would that be, though, if it was like if Aaron Rodgers retired just to get paid more money than Tony Romo like tomorrow to go to ESPN?

Speaker 1 And have and like immediately have he and Tessator have like an icy relationship right out of the gate.

Speaker 1 All right, let's do our who's back of the week. Hank, would you like to start? I would love to start.

Speaker 5 My who's back of the week, big cat, is your boy, Jim Calhoun.

Speaker 1 Oh, yes, I saw this.

Speaker 5 So apparently, he's a coach still, which I didn't know. I thought he was retired.

Speaker 1 He's obviously

Speaker 1 a coach. He's a coach at a D3 school that didn't have men's basketball like three years ago.

Speaker 5 Three years ago. They didn't even accept males at the school until 2016.
They didn't have a team until two years ago. Last year, they were

Speaker 5 16 and 12. This year, he won a championship.

Speaker 1 Pretty nice. Cut down the nets.
Built that program from the ground up. It would be nice if we could get some old school interviews after bad loss, but I don't know if that's in the cards.

Speaker 1 I don't know how

Speaker 1 to media availability.

Speaker 1 They did show him cutting down the nets, which is pretty cool. I can't imagine

Speaker 5 how much it must have sucked for those kids the first few weeks of him being their coach when he realized, oh, these kids are.

Speaker 1 These kids are not. Well, it must have sucked for the kids, too.
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 Jim Calhoun is just like, like, you guys are terrible. Like, you're not.

Speaker 1 You're not good. Like, you have to play better.
Yeah. Also, you have to be able to get a better idea.

Speaker 1 He started the program himself, right? Yes. Okay, so that, I mean, this could be a blueprint for building other programs.

Speaker 1 You find an all-girls school, probably super easy to recruit guys to go play basketball at an all-girls school when the ratio is like probably 60 to 1. And so then you just build it that way.

Speaker 1 You get like a couple of nice horny recruits in the door, like some big names that just like to fuck a little bit, get them on campus, and then next thing you know, three years later, you're sitting on top of the division.

Speaker 1 And the best part about this whole program that he's built is that he's now at a place where it seems like they're good enough that he can step away and Kevin Ollie could come in and actually win a game.

Speaker 1 So I assume Kevin Ollie's still looking for a job somewhere. Worst coach ever to win a national title.
Oh, that's spicy. I mean, I don't know who else we could put on that list, but Izzo?

Speaker 1 He won it with you.

Speaker 1 Dude, I'm getting flat for your issue. I know.
I know. I got that the other day.
No, Big To. Scout's like, Big Cat.
Why are you going to always bash Izzo? It's like, dude, I don't. That's BFT.

Speaker 1 No, I don't. There's so many times that I bash Izzo, and Big Cat, you're silent.
You're notably silent over there. Yeah, you're right.
In fact,

Speaker 1 if you subscribe to Barcelona Gold, you would see Big Cat nodding his head when I'm making my Tom Ezzo's chat. I actually am.
Yes, you are. Yes, I am.
Number one Tom Izzo hater, Big Cat. It is.

Speaker 1 Give him all the flack when Michigan State somehow limps their way to a national championship.

Speaker 1 I've somehow gotten into the, it happens like every few months where I just have people on Twitter like randomly tweeting me players from their favorite college team saying, say something nice about this guy.

Speaker 1 And I usually oblige a few times, but then it gets spiraled to like, I have to say something nice about a fucking bench guy on Indiana basketball.

Speaker 1 I want to put a take out there into the ether real quick. I think this is the year Gonzaga makes a final four.
Oh, it's wide open. They got a good team.
See, I like that take.

Speaker 1 I'm going to agree with you. I mean, historically, they kind of show up in the tournament and have never gone that far.
So this could be their year. Gonzaga's year.

Speaker 1 Mark Few, best coach to never make a Final Four. Correct.

Speaker 1 I think that's actually also a fact yep uh okay pft who's your who's back my who's back of the week is practical jokes so uh not only are the impractical jokers making a movie but i got practical joked big time in vegas this weekend how so big time someone practical joked you into wearing a dress again no that was me that was my own brain and yes i did get tricked by myself actually no it wasn't you looked good i looked great in the dress i'll be honest but you're also like we're teetering i think that's like three or four in the last couple years we're teetering like, do you just want to do it?

Speaker 1 Worn a dress? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. I did wear one

Speaker 1 with a vanka. And also.
No, no, no. Super bowl, I wasn't wearing a dress.
Oh, that's true. I was wearing a tape from Cardigan

Speaker 1 jeans.

Speaker 1 I had a dress. I had a bra, but no dress.
I feel like this time I dressed no bra. Yeah, there's like a volume.
Once it's like three or four, it's like, you know what, dude? It's okay.

Speaker 1 We're like, we're all cool with it. I'll be honest with you.
It was very comfortable.

Speaker 1 It looked comfortable. Pooping.
Pooping was awesome in a dress. But after.
You looked like someone who would like bang 16 dudes at Woodstock with face glasses on

Speaker 1 in the mud just lose your mind and be like, I don't know what happened. Woodstock 2.
It was sick. But no, I got practical joke hard.

Speaker 1 I walked onto an elevator in the Las Vegas casino in the lobby, get on there, and there are three people on the elevator. They happen to be Asian.

Speaker 1 And then the door shuts, and then two of them start immediately coughing, going, oh, that's good. And the third goes, I'm sorry, we're from China.
And then he starts sneezing.

Speaker 1 And then as it's going up, they're like, we have coronavirus. Oh, no.
And I just started cracking up. It was such a good and practical joke.
I was like, it's funny.

Speaker 1 But ever since I told people that story, people are like freaking out. They're like, I would have punched him in their face.
That's fucked up.

Speaker 1 It's like, no, you don't know that a great and practical joke. Like, that was very

Speaker 1 all-time practical joke. Yeah, that's just playing at the, you know, the casual racism of America.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah, imagine going to a country like China and having the confidence to do that exact same joke to a Chinese person that got an elevator with you in their country. That's a great joke.

Speaker 1 So, like, I high-fived him. We've shared a good laugh, parted as friends, and now I got a really, really tickly throat and my nose can't suffer.

Speaker 1 By the way, a little update on coronavirus and sports analogies that we did on Friday in the Toronto Star. The headline on the front page was The Gretzky of Viruses.

Speaker 4 The great one.

Speaker 1 Whoever decided to come up with that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Gretzky was really good, dude. Yeah, so that means he did play in a time.

Speaker 1 I was going to say goal. That means this virus would have wiped out half the face of the earth in the 80s.
Yeah. When we don't know how to goaltend.
Yeah, when goalies

Speaker 1 are pretty much ineffective. You just put the fat guy in goal.
Embrace debate. Are we going coronavirus or are we going COVID-19?

Speaker 1 I think COVID-19, out of respect for the Corona beer company, that's taking a really hard time. And they've lost

Speaker 1 a lot of money. A lot of money.
And it was, and it's very funny because that's just how our brains work. Oh, that's named like that.

Speaker 1 Like if it was the Big Mac virus, McDonald's would be in the fucking toilet. Well, do you think that maybe this virus was named by a competitor to corona to kate? If it was

Speaker 1 got their hands on it? Yeah, we endorse that. I will if it was by Bud Light.
I will single-handedly try to drink Corona back into profitability this year. That's my promise

Speaker 1 during March. One man's promise.
I like COVID-19 just because it kind of sounds like a porn site for college freshmen.

Speaker 1 That definitely gives you a virus. Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 Yes, absolutely. Absolutely.
Is that your who's back? Anymore? That's my who's back. Okay.

Speaker 1 My who's back, I got two.

Speaker 1 Tommy Lasorda's back. I don't know if you guys saw he's got a, he's doing an event at Busters,

Speaker 1 at Busters, and he had this, the Photoshop,

Speaker 1 which we'll put into a clip that we'll put out there. Let's see.
Here we go. Wait, hold on.
I want to read it. Graphic design is my passion.

Speaker 1 It is incredible how

Speaker 1 good this Photoshop is.

Speaker 1 It doesn't even say anything at the top. It says, presents a rare spring training public appearance by Tommy Lasorda.

Speaker 1 And then signing will be hosted at Dave and Buster's Westgate Entertainment District.

Speaker 1 And then it also says with every autograph or photo op, ticket purchase, you will receive a $20 coupon towards match play and 10% dining discount. Match Play.
That's huge.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's a coupon only available March 7th, so the day of the signing. Okay, so he spent it.

Speaker 1 He really used a lot of his budget on this signing on his Photoshop because we have one, two, three, four, five different colors of font. Well, there you go.

Speaker 1 I mean, if you have such a great product, you don't really need to spend that much money to market it.

Speaker 4 It pops.

Speaker 1 You let it do the sales for you. And if we have any listeners out there that want to go attend this, I would love to see

Speaker 1 a photo opportunity with Tommy Lasorda at a buster's. Yes.
Maybe get him on the air hockey table. Yes, please.
Just get there with Tommy. Let's see it.

Speaker 1 Oh, and also says all drop-offs or mail-in terms must be shipped to Bobble Mania store by Tuesday, March 3rd. No exceptions.
And they just spelled exceptions wrong.

Speaker 1 So you have to mail your stuff to a store to get it signed. And then Tommy's going to sign it and then give it to you in person.
Right. And you go to Dave and Buster's and pretend that he's there.

Speaker 1 Okay. That sounds like a good idea.
And then my other who's back is Barry Sanders because the world forgot about him. So we had Garth Brooks post a picture.

Speaker 1 He was doing a concert in Detroit and he was wearing a Sanders 20 jersey. And everyone on Facebook flipped out and was like, dude, I like your music, but I hate your politics.

Speaker 1 How could you endorse Bernie Sanders? People just forgot that Barry Sanders existed.

Speaker 1 So now we're back to everyone remembering that Barry Sanders did, in fact, exist, and he wore 20. Within Barry Sanders, he asked Garth Brooks if he wanted to be his running mate for president.

Speaker 1 That would be great. A couple Oklahoma guys.
Yes. That would be wonderful.
Sanders Brooks. Honestly, I would endorse a Barry Sanders presidency.

Speaker 1 That's a great laugh. Bernie should have him be the VP, Sanders Sanders.
Ooh, I like that. Now we're talking.
Sanders Sanders 2020. 2020.
There you go.

Speaker 1 Now, and just just all Barry has to do is just talk about the games where he just went off and scored a lot of touchdowns.

Speaker 1 Yeah, all Barry has to do is just read his stat sheet from college where he's like, check this out. 360 yards, four touchdowns, four kick returns.
Yeah, like, check this out.

Speaker 1 You guys didn't think I could score in this game. I scored seven touchdowns.
Oh, other massive who's back of the week is Andy Dalton. Yes.
So you want to talk about body is ready.

Speaker 1 Because Andy Dalton is being linked to the Chicago Bears. Yes.
I am very ready for this. I would love for Andy Dalton to get in that room, have a little QB competition.

Speaker 1 No wrong answers when your QB competition is Andy Dalton and Mitch Trubisky. I mean, you've been daydreaming about Andy Dalton as a quarterback of the Bears for, what, 10 years now?

Speaker 1 Dude, he would look, he kind of works on the color scheme. The whole thing is great.
It's perfect. He would fit in really well with that color scheme.
You're absolutely right.

Speaker 1 The red hair would pop, the freckles would pop. And, I mean, if he got the Bears to a Super Bowl, then you'd be vindicated for your spicy take that ruined your friendship with Jay Coleman.
Yes, yes.

Speaker 1 This would actually be perfect. Everything, all my worlds would come back to, you know, being

Speaker 1 right where I thought it was six years ago when my brain was very, very dumb.

Speaker 1 Since I'm talking about, we're talking about my team, let's talk about your team real quick. They lost to the Tampa Bay Vipers.
You're talking about the DC Defenders? Yeah. Hank, did you say?

Speaker 1 Don't say my team like I'm on the team, Big Cat. I'm not on the team.
Hank said, you lost to the Vipers like 16 times while we were watching that game. Dipers.
Dude, Mark Tressman, the Vipes.

Speaker 1 Handy ass uniforms. Owen 3.
3.

Speaker 1 Gross baby barf pea soup ass helmets. Yeah, it was nasty.
It was a bad game. Verbal meme.

Speaker 1 Verbal meme, Vince Carter doing the dunk, but the French guy is PFT and Vince Carter is Katie Nolan. Boom.
No, that's not. No,

Speaker 1 we're not going to that level just yet. You got Vipes, bro.
Katie's got no ups.

Speaker 1 You got Vipes. Fucked out.
This was an aberration this week. Next week, we're back at home against the Battle Hawks.
Dude. We're like the Battlecocks.
There you go. Now you're back.
Now I'm back.

Speaker 1 Now we're.

Speaker 1 That sounds like a good thing. Rennick with battle cocks.

Speaker 1 That actually sounds very formidable.

Speaker 1 Are you thinking of

Speaker 1 a penis with a helmet on it? Or are you thinking like a rooster with razor blades on it? I'm thinking of a penis holding a sword with maybe a shield. Prince Albert.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, no, we got the shield in ours. Oh, they stole it.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, that's why it's rivalry week.

Speaker 1 Wait, that's another rivalry week? Every week is rivalry week in the XFL East.

Speaker 1 Just throw out all the record books. Dude, you can't lose the the Vipers.
Well, we're back to 500. That's fine.
We're going back home. Winning the gym actually was right.
The D.C.

Speaker 1 Defenders can't win on the road. We are the DC Defenders.
Our name means that we defend our home in D.C. We can't go on the road.
You guys are like the Sixers.

Speaker 1 You have to suck on the road. Listen, it's tough to win on the road in the XFL.
It's true. These crowds are very hard.
20,000 crowds

Speaker 1 in 100,000.

Speaker 1 There was one guy who had a shirt off. I would almost say it's harder to win in a stadium that has maybe 10,000 people and like a 60,000

Speaker 1 person stadium. Yep, that's your

Speaker 1 because you put it down in your mind, you're like, oh, this game's not that

Speaker 1 real sport on

Speaker 1 professional. They play in Northwestern.
Yeah, they're 11 a.m. Their own fans don't even care about it.
Why should I? This is going to be easy.

Speaker 1 And they grow out the grass in Tampa, too. Yeah, oh, yeah, for sure.
They grow that. They do to slow down the superior speed of their opponents.
Also, the humidity. It's winter up north.
True.

Speaker 1 And it's summer down south. It's brutal.
It's brutal. All right, let's get to our interview with Rob Gronkowski.

Speaker 1 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 1 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boarshead retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boarshead premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 1 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo-style chicken, paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy Munster cheese, are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 1 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boar's head, committed to craft since 1905.
Okay, here he is, Rob Gronkowski.

Speaker 1 All right, we now welcome on our good friend, retired.

Speaker 1 I thought we were retired best friend, Rob Gronkowski. You know that voice.
We've got the whole Gronkowski clan in here. How many people are in the room? Probably like 20.
Oh, they found the snacks.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Red alert.
The best ones, too, some of the best. Dronkowski said on top of the gear.
And we're like, yeah, we know. We can hear them like coming from

Speaker 1 a mile away.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And just everyone's yelling and coming,

Speaker 4 bouncing up and down.

Speaker 1 I like this. This is like a live studio audience.
Yeah. Wow.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I think they stopped bouncing the other day.

Speaker 1 All right, so Super Bowl, you're here. Is it weird being here? And like, you obviously were in a bunch of Super Bowls.
Is it weird being here, seeing it from the other side and all that shit?

Speaker 1 No, no, not at all.

Speaker 4 Everyone asked me that question. Is it weird not being at training camp? And is it weird not playing during the regular season? Is it weird not playing in the playoffs?

Speaker 4 And now it's, is it weird not being at the Super Bowl? Great. No, man, it's not.

Speaker 1 You aren't on Sunday going to watch the game and be like, I kind of wish I could get out there just for one game. Not saying it's just for one game.

Speaker 4 If that's the case, if I had a choice and I could play in the Super Bowl for one game, just that game, then I would probably do that.

Speaker 1 Yeah. All right, so...

Speaker 1 Krzakowski going to be back for the Patriots next year if they get to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 4 Yeah, there we go. There it is.

Speaker 1 Breaking the shit.

Speaker 4 But the thing is, I have to come back before that date, and then after that date, I just have to tell them they got to deactivate me every game until they make the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 Right, yeah, Bill would totally agree to that. Just be like, hey, I'm going to be here, but I'm not going to practice our play.
Oh, he would love that. He'd be like, yeah, perfect.

Speaker 4 Yeah, yeah, he believes in that for sure.

Speaker 1 Do you miss bed check, not having a bed check and a curfew?

Speaker 4 That's only during training camp and the night before a game. But no, no, I don't miss that.

Speaker 4 I didn't mind that, though, because, you know, I actually didn't like how the bed check was that late because you try to get the, you know, why stay up the night before a game and then the bed check would be at 11.

Speaker 4 You're trying to go to bed at 10 and then they bed check you at 11, you're already sleeping, they wake your ass up.

Speaker 1 Right. It doesn't make a lot of sense.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 The NFL 100,

Speaker 1 the team, we didn't watch it. We're going to wait till July to watch it because we thought it was stupid for them to reveal it in December.

Speaker 1 We want to debate it, right? But I assume you made it.

Speaker 4 Yes, I did make it.

Speaker 1 Was that cool?

Speaker 4 Yeah, it was cool, actually. It was an honor for you.

Speaker 1 I mean, it's pretty funny.

Speaker 4 It's the NFL top 100 players of all time, and just to be in that category was just tremendous, man. It was a huge honor.

Speaker 4 And I actually have a great story that you guys will definitely like in how I got to know, to be known that I was in the NFL top 100. Was I had a, you guys want to hear a story?

Speaker 1 Yes, please. Breaking news.

Speaker 1 You've never told it before, right?

Speaker 4 No, no, never told it before. Here we go.
And I was waiting for a time. I even asked my brother, I go, bro, I was like, it's a great story.
And I told him, but

Speaker 4 I was like, I'm going to be able to save this story. Yeah.
For a time I'm going to be.

Speaker 1 All right, wait, hold on. Real quick, before you start, this story is brought to you by Ice Shaker.
There you go.

Speaker 1 See, I always look up the Gronks. I don't do this.

Speaker 4 What size? The temple size shaker?

Speaker 1 All right, so here we go.

Speaker 4 So I get a phone call from New York, and it's no-caller ID. And I'm just sitting there like, man, I don't want to answer this phone call.
Like,

Speaker 4 I don't want to answer it. But, you know, I'm bored.
I'm sitting there debating. And so I don't answer.
So then it calls back again, and I'm like, ah,

Speaker 4 shit, I'll answer. I'm whatever.
I'm going to mess around. Let me mess around with this phone call, though.
So I answer. I'm like, hello.

Speaker 1 Like, hello.

Speaker 1 Who is this?

Speaker 4 Hey, Rob, this is Roger Goodell.

Speaker 4 This is Roger Goodell. It's just Rob Gronkowski.
And I was like, hello.

Speaker 1 Hello.

Speaker 4 And I'm just thinking, like, man, this is why I don't answer. People pranking me.
People prank me. Rob, this is Roger Goodell.
I'm looking for Rob Gronkowski.

Speaker 1 Hello.

Speaker 1 Hello.

Speaker 4 Is Rob Gronkowski there? Hello. And I'm like, I'm like, no, I just hang up.
And I just hang up. I'm like, yeah, they're not getting me.
Yeah, they're not getting me. Yeah.

Speaker 4 So then, like, two days later, the phone call comes back again. And I'm sitting there like, yeah, like, no way.
Like, that's, I'm not answering. Like, that's definitely not him.

Speaker 4 Like, he would find, like, he would have left me a message on the other two ones, on the other two phone calls that I didn't answer. So

Speaker 4 later that day then, he calls again.

Speaker 4 I mean, the number calls again. And then this time it leaves, they leave a voicemail.
And I was like, okay, finally, they leave a voicemail.

Speaker 4 And I listen to the voicemail, and it ends up being Roger Goodell again. And

Speaker 4 I'm like, hey, he's, hey, Rob, it's Roger Goodell. Just looking for you.
I'm not sure if this is the right number or not.

Speaker 1 That's what he says.

Speaker 4 And I just want to congratulate you, man. You may have made the NFL top 100 players of all time.
And I'm just sitting there like, man, I'm not sure.

Speaker 4 But when I did hang up the first time, I was thinking in my head, like, it kind of sounded like him.

Speaker 1 right?

Speaker 4 But that was classic. Like, I go, but if it was him, he'll find a way to contact me another way.

Speaker 4 And to make the story shorter, I mean, it ended up being him. It ended up being him.

Speaker 1 And you're TV. And then you're 100.

Speaker 4 And then I called him back, called the office back that he told me to call. And I called him back and talked to him.
And he didn't bring up anything about that phone call.

Speaker 1 That's the point when I see him, I can't wait to bring it up.

Speaker 4 I can't wait to bring up. I'm like, yo, who did you think that was? Going, hello.

Speaker 1 Hello, I just.

Speaker 1 I couldn't imagine Rob Gernkowski getting that honor in any other way. Yes, like that's the perfect story.
Yes, that should be the voice that you use in your Hall of Fame acceptance speech, too.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 1 Are you ready?

Speaker 1 Are you starting to think about that? Maybe that's when you break out your first DJ set. Yeah, exactly.
You just had the tables up there for in Canton. Yeah.
Like, it's actually a party, guys.

Speaker 1 Or just get like LMFAO to give you the backtrack to it. Yeah, put them.

Speaker 4 Yeah, have them just, you know, LMFAOing, like shuffleing right there.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 All that good stuff.

Speaker 1 But yeah, on a serious note, have you you thought about what you're going to say when that happens?

Speaker 4 No, no, I haven't, but I can definitely bring that story up. That would be a great story, you know.

Speaker 4 Or even if I get asked about the NFL 100 now, that's a perfect story. Right.
You know, you guys have it first.

Speaker 4 I don't, I don't even think I have to tell it again because everyone listens to this will know.

Speaker 1 Everyone will listen to this, so you're good.

Speaker 1 Only David Baker comes, the guy from the Hall of Fame, and knocking, you know, that big dude, the 6'9, 400-pound guy, knocks on your door, just open it up, and you're like wearing a dress and lipstick.

Speaker 1 You're like, hello? Yeah, hello. That's how you accept all your honors.
Yeah, Patriots ring, Ring of Honor or whatever it is, they do the same thing. Yes.
Hello.

Speaker 1 Who is this?

Speaker 1 How many people have asked you where Tom Brady's going?

Speaker 4 A lot of people everywhere I go. Yeah, literally.

Speaker 1 This is like, let's say, like, this guy, like,

Speaker 4 we're sitting first class on a plane and, like, you know, everyone's being respectful. And then, like, this other guy in first class comes up to me and he puts his phone like this.

Speaker 4 Like, he's not filming me.

Speaker 1 Oh, the worst.

Speaker 4 Yeah, the worst.

Speaker 1 Yeah. You always know.
That's still worse.

Speaker 4 The worst. And I'm like, yeah, dude, first, I'm just thinking in my head, yeah, I don't see your phone.

Speaker 4 Like, yeah, you're just like that. But he's acting like it's not up there.
And he's like, so, oh, yo, Rob, where do you think Brady's going? To the Vikings? Like, that would be great.

Speaker 4 And, like, he's just trying to get an answer out of me. And the way he said it, he was like trying to get me going.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 4 And I was just sitting there and I was like, yeah, yeah, he's going to go to the Vikings and compete with Kirk Cousins. And they're going to have two $55 million quarterbacks on their team.

Speaker 4 They'll be a great team. And then, and then I was just like, man, what was that guy thinking?

Speaker 1 Yeah, right.

Speaker 4 But it was funny because you just had to be there for the experience because he just had his phone up thinking I was going to give him an answer, like an inside info answer.

Speaker 4 And I didn't see his phone.

Speaker 4 And that's when it started.

Speaker 1 It was like a week after the season.

Speaker 4 That was the first time.

Speaker 1 And you're going to get asked a lot. Oh, yeah.
People are going to interview everything. We're not going to do it.
We never do that.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 when you talk to him most recently,

Speaker 1 Where did he sound like he was sitting?

Speaker 1 Was there country music playing in the background? What do you think he was sitting in? Was somebody eating hot chicken?

Speaker 4 Hey, Rob, it would be an honor if you asked to get released from your rights. I would love for you to play with me in Chicago next year

Speaker 1 so we can hang out with Big Cat more.

Speaker 1 Perfect. That's crazy.
That just came through.

Speaker 1 He literally just takes me. Yeah.
That's nuts. Wow.

Speaker 1 It's got to be like a little bit.

Speaker 1 You're going to have so much fun with this free agency. Yeah.
Oh, it's going to be incredible.

Speaker 4 It's like, am I coming back? Like, the only reason why I started being like, yeah, I might come back a week because I was just getting the question.

Speaker 4 If, like, from the very beginning, I was like, no, like, I'm going to go back to the next one.

Speaker 1 No chance? 0% chance. So they're like, yeah, right.
Yeah, right.

Speaker 4 Yeah, you're coming back. So then I was like, okay.
A week later, they're like, yeah, right, you're coming back. So I was like, okay, this is something to play with now.

Speaker 4 Like, I'm not just taking the yeah, right every time. I'm going to start saying, yeah, I'm coming back.
Right.

Speaker 1 You could do that. You have probably about two or three more years of that.

Speaker 4 I probably got like 10 more years to do that.

Speaker 1 Because I'm coming back. You need to just release like a video every now and then.
Type video for yourself, tweet out the eyeballs.

Speaker 4 Yeah, and then maybe like people are like, you should come back as a receiver, you're getting skinny. And then maybe like five years, I can go, you know, go eat some burgers every single day and beer.

Speaker 4 And then I can be like, oh, I'm coming back as a lineman.

Speaker 4 You know, you become a come out one day at 310 pounds. You'd be like, he's coming back with this time as alignment.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I like this. This is a fun spot for you to be in.
So you get the coming back, and then you also get to be the Tom Brady whisperer.

Speaker 4 Yes, that's true. Right.

Speaker 1 Do you still talk to him, though, for real? Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
I would assume you guys were pretty tight.

Speaker 4 Yeah. Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so like when you talk to him, does he say like, what is it? I don't know. I can't wait to go play for Coach Vrabel.

Speaker 1 Oh, Vrable says. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 No, I really am not sure.

Speaker 4 I know he's going to check out his options. I can give you that much.

Speaker 1 You know, Hamstead. How many options?

Speaker 4 He's going to have probably 31 other options.

Speaker 4 Yeah, but nah, not thirty.

Speaker 1 Kansas City Chiefs are looking at Tom Brady.

Speaker 4 Yeah, that's why I said no.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they are. They're Baltimore Ravens.

Speaker 4 Because they can get them as, you know,

Speaker 4 a million dollars and the backup. I mean, they would do that for sure all the time.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 So that's an option. That is an option.

Speaker 1 That's true. That is true.
How often do you think Mike Vrabel and Tom Brady talk?

Speaker 4 Man, I'm not sure. I mean, every time you watch them, they always give each other that big, you know, hug.

Speaker 1 Yeah, sounds like they're close.

Speaker 4 How crazy would that be? Tom threw touchdown passes to Vrabel back in the heyday, and now he's the coach.

Speaker 1 And how crazy would that be, actually, if he did go to Tennessee and would be that would yeah that would be right so I want to tell you real quick about your your new career you were doing some games on Fox you were doing some pregame stuff on Fox yeah and in your debut I think you had perhaps the most spectacular line yes in any television you know I should have just retired off of off of that one it was retired

Speaker 4 imagine that just knocking two careers out and one in like in like just a couple months

Speaker 1 and then just retiring from both of them right and everyone could have been like Rob you were so good in that one show when are are you coming back? Yeah, when are you coming back?

Speaker 4 And I have to play the comeback game.

Speaker 1 But that did happen after that show.

Speaker 4 Everyone kept asking, oh, you're, and then I wasn't on for like two weeks.

Speaker 1 And they're like, oh, I thought you were on every week. You're addicted to coming back.
Yeah. Yeah.
I'm talking about it. Yeah.
Yeah. That could be my new career.
Right. So

Speaker 4 a coming back career.

Speaker 1 A comeback specialist. Right.
So the line that you dropped was: Julian Edelman's a squirrel, and you know, he always gets that nut. Yes.
When you wrote that down, were you like, how long did you last?

Speaker 4 No, I just. You know, I didn't really,

Speaker 4 I didn't actually write that down. It was actually, there was a couple other things we were preparing.

Speaker 4 And then actually, like 10 minutes before, they're like, oh, Aaron Andrews is going to throw it to you too, Rob. And you can just talk about Julian and about his game.

Speaker 4 And then I was just thinking in my head, like, man, that's a good opportunity.

Speaker 4 You know, these analysts, you know, come up with nicknames for people. And I was like, oh, I could use his nickname, the squirrel.

Speaker 4 And then, no lie, I thought of, when I thought that he's called the squirrel, I remember my brother Gord, he always wore this this shirt, you know, a squirrel with a big nut in his hand.

Speaker 4 And it says, every squirrel, always, what was it, like,

Speaker 4 once in a while, every squirrel finds a nut or something. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut.

Speaker 4 And what was it exactly? He's here. What was the shirt again exactly? What was Zach saying on it?

Speaker 4 Even a blind squirrel can get a nut.

Speaker 4 And I just pictured that and him wearing that shirt. And I was like, wow, I can add those two together.
Yes. Genius.
And that's where I came up with it.

Speaker 1 That's like you're slumbed up.

Speaker 1 I was like, I turned around so no one can see me.

Speaker 4 I practice it like three times in a row.

Speaker 1 The delivery was perfect on the bottom.

Speaker 4 I'll get the delivery down.

Speaker 1 Do you know what today is?

Speaker 4 It's Thursday.

Speaker 4 I know that.

Speaker 1 But it is my birthday. It's whatever thing.
It's your birthday. Happy birthday, man.
Happy birthday tomorrow. Oh, really?

Speaker 4 Happy birthday tomorrow, man. No way.

Speaker 1 But because it's my birthday, people were tweeting at me.

Speaker 1 Today is the 6,969th day since the year 2000. Really? 69th?

Speaker 4 I knew it was going to be something like that. Remember?

Speaker 1 That's pretty good.

Speaker 4 We were talking about how 69 went out of style.

Speaker 1 That's made it back. But that just happened.
That just happened.

Speaker 4 That's what I mean. It just has to happen naturally.

Speaker 1 Day 6, 9, 6, 9.

Speaker 4 6, 9, 6, 9. That is away from the 2000s.
So that's a wow, that's a day that you can, you know, after you go one time and you have to do it again.

Speaker 1 Never going to forget.

Speaker 1 Never going to forget that.

Speaker 4 On my birthday. On your birthday, too.

Speaker 1 On your birthday.

Speaker 4 So that is three times. Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 1 I would say the second most memorable thing that you did on TV this year was the black turtleneck that you brought up. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 You looked like Danny Connell if he was like a Silicon Valley swindler.

Speaker 1 Elizabeth Holmes mixed with Steve Jobs. That's where he was.

Speaker 4 Steve Jobs. That's the one I got a lot.
I was going to say, I was going to say too. Yeah, like we're like the same too, anyways.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Steve Jobs and Rob Linkowski. For sure.
For sure. Those are one and the same.

Speaker 4 We look alike when we wear turtlenecks. That's true.

Speaker 1 Everyone looks the same in a black turtleneck. All right, I got one last.
That's for the rock, too.

Speaker 4 That one I got that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the rock with

Speaker 1 it.

Speaker 1 That's a great one. All right, my last question.
What's up, guys? It's Big Cat here, making my Irish entrance with proper number 12 Irish whiskey. How do you make an Irish entrance, you ask?

Speaker 1 It starts with a shot of proper number 12 Irish whiskey because real friends don't let friends Irish exit a party without a story to tell.

Speaker 1 Original proper number 12 is rich and a smooth blend of golden grain and single malt. Age four years in bourbon barrels.
Mix it up with some ginger ale for a classic and refreshing proper ginger.

Speaker 1 In the mood for something smooth but a little sweeter, try proper Irish apple, a delicious blend of proper's award-winning Irish whiskey with crisp, fresh notes of apple.

Speaker 1 So get out there and make your Irish entrance. Anything else just wouldn't be proper.
Are you still reading?

Speaker 4 Oh, am I reading? You know, I love to read.

Speaker 1 You said that you started reading more. I did, hands down.

Speaker 4 And

Speaker 4 I, you know, I actually just started a book. I actually read, like, literally, I read 25 pages of it.
My friend had the book, and it's

Speaker 4 Ben Greenfield's book. Which one's it?

Speaker 1 It's called

Speaker 4 Boundless. And I was just reading that.
My friends, I read 25 pages while I was just chilling. I went and ordered the book right away.
So,

Speaker 4 you know, something I was actually, that's when I started doing a lot of that was reading when

Speaker 4 I got to catch back up to it for sure.

Speaker 4 It's actually great. I love to do it.
But another thing I like to do now is Sudoku. Like, really?

Speaker 4 Now that I said I like to do puzzles, someone sent me like this whole box of Sudoku puzzles too. And I I've actually, I bring it on the plane with me.
I've completed 22 out of the 50 puzzles.

Speaker 1 I feel like we're in a time machine. You just discovered this.
This is 2013.

Speaker 4 I'm just like, you know, it's cool to find things just while you're, you know, while time's passing on the plane. Instead of just sitting there doodling around, you know, to do things like that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. That's the one where you have to

Speaker 1 fit all nine in the puzzle.

Speaker 4 Yeah, all nine in the columns and the vertically and horizontally, and then you got to have the nine in the box.

Speaker 1 Right. So to me, like, I always get intimidated because I think that it's math because there's numbers involved, but it's not really math, right?

Speaker 4 Yeah, no, it's not math. I mean, you just got to know numbers one through nine.
So, I mean, that might be a little difficult for some people.

Speaker 4 Yeah, it might be.

Speaker 4 I mean, then everyone's not good with numbers like myself.

Speaker 4 Everyone's not terrible at reading like myself, but I'm so much better.

Speaker 1 You said you were reading. Oh, I can read actually.

Speaker 4 Like, I had before, like, I really, when I started, I literally sat there and it, I, it took like to read two lines, like, it was like, it was really hard. Right.

Speaker 4 But now I can actually read like a chapter and

Speaker 1 understand it.

Speaker 4 Yeah. Like, it's pretty cool.
And back in the day when I read, I swear English class, everything, I just read. I didn't even know what I was reading.

Speaker 1 So, no, it's so much better.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I wish I started earlier back in the day.

Speaker 1 You said that. You said it helps when you're doing media and everything.
Oh, it helps big time.

Speaker 4 That's why I started doing it too. Yeah, it helps big time talking, all these interviews, doing all that.
It literally helps out tremendously.

Speaker 1 All right, so there it is. Read more.
Yeah, read more. Start a book club.

Speaker 4 What's your favorite book? You know, I don't got to. That's what Marty Bennett does.
He just wrote all these books. So to start a book club, I would have to be really on top of my game.

Speaker 1 Right. Yeah.

Speaker 4 But that would be cool. I mean,

Speaker 4 you know, I'm good enough before I used to actually be scared to go read the kids. Right.
Like a kids' book, like a fourth grade, because there's always one or two big words in there, too.

Speaker 4 I can never read.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
No lie.

Speaker 4 I didn't want to go to the class because I was scared of those one or two big words. But now I'm not scared.
I'll go do it.

Speaker 1 You can join our Wikipedia club with Blake Portals.

Speaker 4 Wikipedia Club? Okay, you want to know something?

Speaker 4 This is a classic. Your friend Dante right there from Barstool.
The guy loves Wikipedia so much.

Speaker 4 Wikipedia, though, is not always accurate. And my middle name on Wikipedia was Robert Paxton Gronkowski.
And Dante believed it the whole time.

Speaker 1 Robert Paxon.

Speaker 4 You throw it in the chat, and

Speaker 4 you were just like, oh, Rob, that's your full name.

Speaker 4 And it was Robert Paxon. He had no clue.
What's your middle name? Robert James. Okay.

Speaker 1 Yes. Yeah, I forgot.

Speaker 1 Robert Paxton Gronkowski.

Speaker 4 It was, you were named after it. Yeah, there was a bag.
There was, but yeah, he went to Wikipedia to go find my middle name, and he pulled that up.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 1 One last question for me. Kittle or Kelsey?

Speaker 4 Oh, man.

Speaker 4 You know, they're both good players, but I'll go with Kittle.

Speaker 1 I mean, I'm not sure myself. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I like Kittle. All right, good answer.
And

Speaker 4 he likes to get dirty

Speaker 4 in the trenches.

Speaker 1 He throws people out of the club.

Speaker 4 Yeah, he does. He picks up people and he drops them.
And when he gets that ball, he doesn't want to get tackled. Yes.

Speaker 1 He says that his dad writes him a letter before every single game. Yes.

Speaker 4 To motivate him.

Speaker 1 Did your dad ever write you any letters?

Speaker 4 No, not like that. No.
But my dad, you know, throughout the years, definitely got us pumped up. And if you talk to him, he has many hype-up speeches.
When he gets going, it's tremendous to be around.

Speaker 4 Dad, I don't know. He's here.
It was never letters, but he always had good hype-up speeches when he always coached us. So, you know, everyone's different.

Speaker 4 And my dad always brought that hype-up speech to the games, especially when he was coaching us when we were younger. He always got us going.
He actually got the whole team going every time.

Speaker 4 So he's tremendous at that. So definitely.
And I actually just met Kittle the other day.

Speaker 4 We just had a sit-down actually. Tony Gonzalez, Kelsey, Kittle, and myself.
Wow. And that will be on Fox.
That was a little clip of that. That'll be on before the Super Bowl.

Speaker 4 So that's a great clip for sure. Okay.

Speaker 1 Awesome. Well, Rob, thank you as always.
Go get your

Speaker 1 ice shaker. You can buy it online.

Speaker 4 Oh, yeah, you can buy it online. IceShaker.com.
Get yours now. Done.

Speaker 1 Done. Done.
Yep. Wow.

Speaker 1 Hey, what's going on there, pal?

Speaker 4 We saw you at the hockey game on.

Speaker 1 Do I know you guys? I'm Ryan Whitney.

Speaker 4 I got a drink named after me.

Speaker 1 Not a big deal. Pink Whitney?

Speaker 4 That's what I thought.

Speaker 1 See you, fellas. I invented the thing, you pigeon.
Pink Whitney for legendary moments. Okay, let's get to some segments.
Also,

Speaker 1 when is LeBron just going to get old? Like, this is ridiculous. Every single night, he is old.
But going to, he's not old. 35.
Can you imagine being 35?

Speaker 1 Still thinking that you can go hang out with a bunch of young kids? Fucking brutal, man. Every single night.

Speaker 1 I know I'm a LeBron hater, but I'm just admitting that, like, it's incredible that he's still.

Speaker 1 I swear to God, last year, like, just probably added another six years to his career. Interesting.
Just being able to sit out, interesting.

Speaker 1 Interesting that he hasn't started to look older as he's gotten older. Also, Zion is the and one king of the world.
He gets whistles. He's a chunk boy.

Speaker 1 He gets whistles like he is a 10-year vet MVP, and I love it.

Speaker 1 well he's going through hands he goes through arms like it's butter goes through everything um all right speaking of the nba let's do a little pr 101 for james harden double pr 101 for james harden because he started the weekend by uh getting in a war of words with yannis which i think giannis has actually been kind of asking for for a while james harden isn't really one to go back at people but he finally did we also need to get uh rachel nichols on the show here because this interview looked like they did it in like a a closet yes it was a little weird yeah but we so she got it she got james harden to open up a little and james harden said about yannis i wish i could be seven feet run and just dunk that takes no skill at all i got to actually learn how to play basketball and how to have skill That's kind of a fact.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, except for the fact that Giannis is like insanely skilled.

Speaker 1 His game isn't just dunking. But yeah, other than that, it is a fact.
If you were short like me, you would understand that. James Harden's like 6'5 ⁇ .
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 But if you were short like me, you'd understand. This is like the last thing that we have.
We can always say, like, man, you know what? Actually, I truly believe if I was 6'5 ⁇ , I'd be in the NBA.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Shaq, that's all. Shaq wasn't good.

Speaker 4 He was just bigger than everybody.

Speaker 1 Exactly. If you didn't let Shaq dunk the ball, he wouldn't have been good at basketball.
He had no touch, no footwork, nothing. He just dunked.
That's all he did. And then

Speaker 1 he shit himself. Then he pooped himself.

Speaker 1 Which I won't, I will not shame him for that. Well, I will shame him because it.
It didn't look like he pooped himself. I'm going to walk that back.
It just looked like he didn't wipe properly.

Speaker 1 Either didn't wipe properly or

Speaker 1 maybe got maybe a little too much time spent at the strip club the night before. Maybe had a little too much to drink.
He was at the casino the night before. He was at the casino that's there it is.

Speaker 1 So he had a big bowl of chili in the middle. Yeah, I don't even think it's the he he might not have it's not might not have been a wiping thing.

Speaker 1 It might have been just more like, hey, he's just got a leaky ass. You know those days you're like, hey, this is going to be a leaky ass day.

Speaker 5 Sometimes it's like, yeah, you're farting on the bench and it's like usually you have the red shorts and it's like no one even notices because you realize like you can't you can't even do those questionable farts if you're wearing those.

Speaker 1 You have to have awareness of the color of your pants at all times after you hit the age of like 27. That's just a good rule to live by.
Yes. It might be just maybe Euro stepping.

Speaker 1 There's like a lot of swiping between your butt cheeks that happens. There's friction, though.

Speaker 5 I noticed before I even saw the pictures like of the screenshot, but it was weird how long he was on the ground at the end of the half. And like that was from where the screenshot was from.

Speaker 5 Like, I think something might have happened because it was like pooped. He fell on the ground and then he was on the ground like he was hurt for like 10 minutes, but he wasn't hurt.

Speaker 1 He was just farting. He was doing my fart pose, getting on the ground and letting it all out.
I actually think that, like, as I'm like the dexter of poop spatter. I'm like a poop spatter analysis guy.

Speaker 1 And to me, that just looked like his prolonged exposure to small amounts of poop that was on his butt. Yeah.
So I'm just thinking he didn't wipe well. That's not like a I shit myself groundstain.

Speaker 1 It's tough that the internet is still at a place where we don't accept this, like that this just happens.

Speaker 1 It's uh, we've done a lot of work, a lot of groundwork to try to make this not a bugaboo anymore. That when someone poops their pants, we don't immediately make jokes and shame.
Or poops the shower.

Speaker 1 But we have a long way to go. It seems like

Speaker 1 this story just reminded me that we've come a long way, but we have even farther to go. When you take the knife halfway out of my back, I don't thank you for pulling it halfway out.

Speaker 1 I say pull it all the way out. Yeah, right.
I congratulate you for doing that. Right.
Please,

Speaker 1 let's stop the poop shaming. Maybe conspiracy theory.
Maybe he was trying to send a signal out to Gabrielle Union. Like, hey, come eat this.
Yeah. Ditch the zero and get with a hero.
Come get this.

Speaker 1 Get a guy who's still playing in the league. Yeah, that's right.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right. We have a Sabre Metrics.
This is for Hank's love of his life.

Speaker 1 Is Jason Tatum a love of your life yet? Yes. Fully.
Fully love of your life? Has been. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, no, you know, like that moment when a player goes from, oh, we're crushing to I would die for this guy. Has he gone to the I would die for this guy? Yeah.
As a fan, not Terry.

Speaker 5 Him and Scary Terry in the playoffs a few years ago elevated him up there. Right.
But now

Speaker 5 it's nice to see him getting the national attention that he deserves.

Speaker 1 There's nothing better than reaching the I Would Die for This Guy player, like that you root for you, like anything he does.

Speaker 1 And everyone, you can tell, too, when other people start getting jealous or other people mention, like, hey, that guy looks good. So either way, Sabre Metrics, Jason Tatum.

Speaker 1 We don't know. how this updated from last night, but he did have more than 30 points.
But this was

Speaker 1 from the first 42 games. So since Jason Tatum fully connected his beard, he had a kind of a choppy beard there on his sideburns.
He fully connected it.

Speaker 1 First 42 games of the season, he was averaging 21 points per game, 43.5 field goal percentage, and 36.3 from three.

Speaker 1 The 11 games after he connected it, 30.5 points per game, so he jumped up a full nine points, 51.4 field goal percentage, and he's shooting 50% from three.

Speaker 1 It is the true definition of look good, feel good, feel good, play good. But he's also more susceptible to the coronavirus.
True. So you got to give the good and bad there.

Speaker 1 Is that a big win for you, by the way? Oh, huge. Matt.
I don't

Speaker 1 shave my beard. I can't.

Speaker 1 You can walk around being like, I'm actually just being, it's preventative care for the coronavirus. Well, I'm like early stages Jason Tatum my entire life.
It just doesn't connect.

Speaker 1 You'll never get to the superstar stage. I'm never going to get sick.
That's fine. I'm fine being like a very good player.
player that shows up in the playoffs. But yeah, Hank,

Speaker 1 what's your status on Chinstrap? Are you pro-chinstrap? I think he does look better. Like it is.
You look better and you start saying, hey, maybe I belong. Yeah.
Absolutely. Absolutely.

Speaker 1 Look, childish.

Speaker 1 A full beard can change things.

Speaker 5 It really can.

Speaker 1 It really. Have you thought about getting a chin strap? No.

Speaker 5 I used to, when I was starting to grow my hair out, I experimented with a lot of stuff. Chinstrap, I went there.

Speaker 1 Didn't go so well? I feel like you have to do that. If you grow up anywhere within like 60 miles of Austin, Massachusetts, you have to have a chin strap at some point.
The 90s reliever. Look.

Speaker 1 The, what's it called? What is it? Soul patch. Soul patch.
Soul patch. The soul patch with the goatee that connects.
The Jim Rome. That's the mid-90s relief picture.
Like Steve Bridrosian had that.

Speaker 1 Came out of the wound wearing it.

Speaker 5 The goatee, the lineup into the chin strap, like the lineup into the thin chin strap.

Speaker 1 Where's Jim Rome?

Speaker 1 CBS Sports. Yeah.
The CBS Sports. He's still around.

Speaker 1 I'm pretty sure the annual smack off is coming soon, isn't it? I need to do

Speaker 1 a list of guys who are just getting paid for never being anywhere. No,

Speaker 1 you know what Jim Rome's doing? He's doing a world tour. Is he? Yeah.

Speaker 1 For real? Yeah, he's going to like,

Speaker 1 you can buy certain packages

Speaker 1 tickets to go meet. Well, he's only doing Buffalo, New York, but it's called the World Tour.
Well, for a guy from Southern California, that's a world tour. That is, yeah.
It's absolutely a world tour.

Speaker 1 Let's actually look up the Jim Rome World Tour ticket packages. Yes, sweet.

Speaker 1 Because there's like a diamond level that gives you like a meet and greet with Jim Rome, but you can't take a picture with him.

Speaker 1 And then there's like a platinum level that gets you, you can say hello to him for five minutes, and you get a picture with him. What's the level where we we can send in our bobblehead? Let's see.

Speaker 1 I'm trying to figure that out right now. All right, the Jim Rome

Speaker 1 World Tour. I need it.
I actually have another saving metrics while you look that up. Okay.

Speaker 1 From Bruce Arians because he came out very anti-analytics,

Speaker 1 real football guy. He gave a speech, I think it was at the Combine.
He said, I've actually heard of guys calling plays using analytics, and I don't know how that works.

Speaker 1 I mean, run to the right, run a sweep, throw the ball. What the hell? I don't need a computer to tell me that.
If you do, you're not a coach.

Speaker 1 If you got to have a computer tell you to go for it on fourth and two, you're getting your ass kicked. You ain't going to make it.
The computer said, go for it because you're likely to win the game.

Speaker 1 No, you're going to get your ass kicked. I like this.
We needed, it's been a while since we've had a pushback on the analytics. You know what, though?

Speaker 1 If you just, if you phrase it to Bruce and you were like, we're not going to call this analytics, it's just Ask Madden, but it just runs like the simulator, like Madden does the video game. Right.

Speaker 1 And just you get told what play to run. He'll be like, yeah, John Madden told me to do that.
If you just tell him that that's your analytics department. Right.
It's John Madden's brain.

Speaker 1 Here's the best part. Ready? I don't have a math brain.
Do you think? I don't have a math brain, you know? So for me, analytics comes into play. Dude is 6'5 ⁇ , 240, and he's smart and he can throw.

Speaker 1 He's probably going to be a good quarterback because I've seen that. They're named Peyton.
They're named Tom. So if that's analytics, yeah, shit, I'll use it.

Speaker 1 So good. The analytics that he's using is just like big guy named Tom.
He's a good quarterback. Yeah, the two best quarterbacks of the last 20 years.
Is that analytics, knowing that they're good?

Speaker 1 I don't think so. I don't think so.
Yeah. All right, update on the Jim Rome World Tour.
Yes, please.

Speaker 1 Here's a complete lineup of tour dates. April 11th, Buffalo, New York.
Whoa. And that's it.
That's it for right now. That's all he's got on the Jim Rome World Tour.
Oh, crap.

Speaker 1 Someone needs to go to the. So we're giving a lot of homework out there to the AEW.
Someone needs to go to Timingless Sword as Dave and Buster meetup, and someone has to go to the Jim Rome World Tour.

Speaker 1 So if you want the Clone Bar photo opportunity with Jim, you get one premium reserve ticket, access to Jim's post-show VIP clone bar cocktail hour. You get one gift from Jim asterisks.

Speaker 1 This is like when Motley Cruz still talks about it. And that item is not autographed.
That item is not going to be autographed. Jeez.
It says specifically. And the one gift from Jim,

Speaker 1 the asterisk means gift merchandise will ship directly to purchaser after the show. So he's not going to hand it to you.
It'll just be sent to you at some point. You get a fucking

Speaker 1 an ornament for your tree. And you get a win-in-roam-only post-show conversation with Jim.
Damn. You get to have a conversation.
How long does that last? Doesn't say. Wow.
Probably 30 seconds.

Speaker 1 Cut his vine. Cut this loser's vine.
I can't wait for this. All right, last up.
We need to do a little Tim Tebow update. PFT.

Speaker 1 Did you see? Yeah, I mean, it was a sunny day. Two things.
One, the sun was shining directly in his eyes in left field. Fact.
Two, his shoes were untied. Fact.

Speaker 1 So right after he tripped over his own feet,

Speaker 1 and if you looked at how he stuck his glove up in in the air, it was a pretty athletic play to make up for the fact that he tripped over his own ass. He almost caught it.
He almost caught it.

Speaker 1 And then he gets up. And then the first thing he does is ties his shoe, makes sure that everybody knows.

Speaker 1 Shoes are untied a little bit. Keith Hernandez gave a little tip after.
He's like, you got to cut those bad boys so that you don't have to double loop it. Oh, that's a smart tip.

Speaker 1 When Team Tebow gets to his 15th spring training, still

Speaker 1 destined for a single A-ball, he will know that trick. Tell you what.
No, Tim, you're going to learn it right now because I'll put it in terms you can understand. Next time, circumcise your shoelaces.

Speaker 1 Just cut cuts off, cut those suckers off, never trip over them again. I'm still confident he'll get called.
He's also playing in the Olympics, right? Or no, does the baseball? Yeah,

Speaker 1 the World Baseball Classics. There it is.
He's playing for the Philippines.

Speaker 1 Yep. Tim Tebow.
Just getting reps. It's going to be great.
He's going to get out there. He's going to play with the best of the world.
I need Tim Tebow to play in Major League Baseball.

Speaker 1 When you think of best of the world, you think of Tim Tebow. Yes.
That's a fact now. Maybe he needs to stop having sex.
I didn't even know they did the World Baseball Classics.

Speaker 1 Have you thought about that? Does Tim Tebow have too much sex now? Yeah. And And he can't.
He never tripped like this until he got married.

Speaker 1 You can't go changing such a huge part of your life and expect to be the same athlete that you were before.

Speaker 1 Do you think people laughed at him when he got back in the dugout or do you think it's like kind of awkward? No, they don't laugh because he's a great friend of all theirs. But that's bad.

Speaker 1 They want to laugh at him because if you laugh at someone after that, that's just like you're one of the guys. Not being laughed at in that moment is like you're a charity case.
You're out here.

Speaker 1 We're just doing a make-a-wish for you to play baseball. Okay.

Speaker 1 Don't you agree with that? Yeah, I was thinking back to my tryout with the Defenders, and everyone laughed when I missed it. So that was you one of the guys.

Speaker 1 But you said so, I don't think they laughed.

Speaker 1 Listen, I'm way more narcissistic than I am a Tim Tebow fan. So yes, you're right, big cat.
It is a problem that they did not laugh at Tim Tebow.

Speaker 1 All right, that's our show. We got a bunch of great interviews coming up all week.

Speaker 1 We got a bunch in the can. I don't know.
We'll see. We'll see what people want.
We'll ask the people.

Speaker 1 Maybe we'll poll the people what they want for the rest of the week, but we have some awesome ones coming up, and we'll see everyone on Wednesday. Love you guys.

Speaker 1 Talking away.

Speaker 1 I don't know what

Speaker 1 to say or say

Speaker 1 anyway.

Speaker 1 Today's a model day to find you. Shine away.

Speaker 1 Oh, I've been coming for your love of gay.

Speaker 1 Shine away.

Speaker 1 I've been coming for your love of king.

Speaker 1 Needless to say

Speaker 1 here.

Speaker 1 Fuck me, so

Speaker 1 let only

Speaker 1 go.

Speaker 1 Things that you say

Speaker 1 just to play that worrying way.

Speaker 1 You're all the things I've got to remember.

Speaker 1 You're shy and away.

Speaker 1 Love you coming for you anyway.

Speaker 1 You're shy and away.

Speaker 1 Love you coming for you anyway.

Speaker 1 Come on,

Speaker 1 Take on me

Speaker 1 all

Speaker 1 me.

Speaker 1 Take on me.

Speaker 1 It's part of my take presented by Bar Stool Sports.
