Speaker 1: we gotta get a few orders of business stopping people.

6
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: You've been listening In the last few weeks, we've laid

7
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: out an expert case for why the Super Bowl fifty

8
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: seven results should be overturned, and well, let's just say

9
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: we can't elaborate much more. But now it's in the

10
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: hands of our lawyers who will soon be filing a

11
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: massive class action lawsuit on behalf of the millions of

12
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: viewers who are robbed of a fair ending in the

13
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and Tony. You know, we can't talk too much,

14
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: but let's just say we've got some high powered people involved,

15
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: don't we. Yeah, you know Alan Dershowitz. Well, we're in

16
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: touch with a guy goes to the same gym as him. Yeah,

17
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: and he advised us to just you know, cease talking

18
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: about it for a moment, you know, just until the

19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: cases result. Problem. So that's what we're gonna do. Besides,

20
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: we got huge sports news to tell you about on

21
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: the show, lots of big drama at ESPN, Tony, I

22
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,639
Speaker 1: couldn't believe. Yeah yeah, jj Reddick and Kendrick Perkins getting

23
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: into it. And then a clip from first take that

24
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: was so shameful in shocking that exposed the whole truth

25
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: about what goes on behind the scenes at ESPN. And

26
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna bring on a former ESPN employee to talk

27
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: about it, a man who is truly a legend over

28
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: there in Bristol for years. Oh yeah, former researcher, producer

29
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: turned on air talent Howie Schwab. Oh yeah yeah, former

30
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: Most of US game show stumped the Schwab known as

31
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: the Sultan of Sports Trivia, that is until a couple

32
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: of years ago when he came on the show and

33
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: Tony absolutely destroyed him why the floor with him in

34
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: a battle of sports trivia and took the title. In fact, Tony,

35
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that Howie Schwab is even showing his face again.

36
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: Maybe he wants a rematch, maybe, yeah, no problem, but

37
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,559
Speaker 1: he's got to be nuts to do that. So yeah, absolutely,

38
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: And that's actually a terrific segue, Tony, because on the

39
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: subject of nuts, It's time for a word from our

40
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: new sponsor, our good friends at Blue Diamond Almonds. Do

Speaker 1: you eat almonds that aren't totally coated in seasoning? Why

Speaker 1: the fuck you're doing that? Yeah? What are you a squirrel?

43
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:40,119
Speaker 1: Eat your almonds? Was seasoning? Call? Blue Diamond Almonds get

44
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,400

Speaker 1: twenty four and ninety nine, available at all CVS locations

46
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: Blue Diamond Almonds. Let's not waste any more time yet, Tony,

47
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: Let's get right into our top story to story. First

48
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: out of the gate, Just a terrible wig for ESPN

49
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: two shocking incidents occurring during their morning show first take,

50
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about one of them right now.

51
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: Yet occurred on the segment where Stephen A. Smith was

52
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: asking long time New York sports broadcast of Michael Gay

53
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: to name who he thought would be the next New

54
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: York team to win a championship. Let's go ahead and

55
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: play that clip. Which team in New York do you

56
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: think wins a championship? Next? Rangers? Oh? Lord, come on, Patrick,

57
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: they don't count. They don't count. The only thing I

58
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: know about hockey that is black, and I love that

59
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: it is no disrespect to the Rangers and to Patrick

60
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: Kane of course, but just just for Steve fotball, basketball, baseball.

61
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: Yeah wow, I still can't believe it. Just so disrespectful, disrespectful.

62
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: You know you're here, Steve even a. They're totally shutting

63
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: down the hockey conversation, trying to shift the conversation of football, baseball, basketball,

64
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: believing NHL has always been considered one of the four

65
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: major sports. You know, it's right up there with NFL, NBA,

66
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: and MLB. Totally nothing competes with it absolutely. I mean,

67
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: you know, well unless you count NASCAR, but that's only

68
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: in the South regional. Yeah, and uh maybe UFC, but

69
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,239
Speaker 1: that's on pay per view elitist. Yeah, and uh maybe

70
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: golf with Tiger Woods, but he's out of the picture

71
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: now peg leg And I guess you got to throw

72
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: in college football and college basketball to which are not

73
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: pro not not pro. And well maybe you got to

74
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: throw in Little league baseball because that does do big

75
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: numbers for about a month each year. Yeahs and also poker.

76
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: Also true horse racing. Yeah that's fair, but it's animal sports,

77
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: so you know, aster Rick, Well, other than that, you know,

78
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: the hockey's a Big Four Sport. It's undispotally can't argue.

79
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: Can't argue on the subject of arguing. Another great transition

80
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: there by you, Tony, thank you. Yeah. That leads to

81
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: another incident we saw on First Take this week up

82
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: bruhaha breaking out between JJ Reddick and Kendrick Perkins. You know,

83
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: Reddick fired back at Perkins because he thought Perkins was

84
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: accusing the NBA MVP voters of being a kind of racist.

85
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: I guess because they gave MVP awards to Nikola, Joe Kick,

86
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: Dirk Nowitzki, and Steve Nash and now they appear to

87
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: be giving the awards to Joe Kick once again. And

88
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: you know, Tony, it is an interesting point that Kendrick

89
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: Perkins is making here, but you felt he missed the

90
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: point kind it didn't you. Unfortunately, Yes, you see, Kendrick

91
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: Perkins was on the right track with his criticism of

92
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: NBA MVP voting, but a closer look reveals that the

93
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: real reason Nikola Joe Kick keeps getting named MVP is

94
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: that in sports media there's clearly a strong pro Serbian bias.

95
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: You think it's bad with the NBA MVP, just look

96
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: at the award for ATP tennis player or the year.

97
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: Every year they got Novak Djokovic winning over and over again,

98
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: as you can see more evidence of clear Serbian bias.

99
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: Terrific journalism and research that Doty once again, and let's

100
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: move from the NBA to the NFL where we saw

101
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: the conclusion of the NFL combine. Now, most analysts say

102
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: University of Florida kibe Anthony Richardson totally improved his draft stock.

103
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: But they got a lot of naysayers out there, Doty,

104
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: who say you shouldn't put too much weight on what

105
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: happens in the combine. They say they don't know what

106
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: they're tost about. But those people, yeah, they don't know

107
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: what they're talking about, do they, Tony? Not at all.

108
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: People say there's more pressure when a QB has to

109
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: play in a real game in front of real people,

110
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: But I'd argue there's more pressure when there's no people

111
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: think about it. I mean, if you overthrow a receiver

112
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: in front of eighty thousand people in a playoff game,

113
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: well that's understandable. Nobody bats an eye it happens, yep.

114
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: But if you can't complete a pass to a wide

115
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: open receiver with no defender in front of no crowd.

116
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: Career over. That's pressure. Great point, Tony, And you know

117
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: you can jump off your point there. You know we

118
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: see this in basketball, toad, don't we Where's the most

119
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: pressure the free throw line? There you go and staying

120
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL big contract goes. The Giants decided to

121
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: give that quarterback, Daniel Jones, a four year, one hundred

122
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: and sixty million dollar deal for reasons nobody seems to know.

123
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: And Tony, this is already having a massive ripple effect

124
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: through whole league, isn't it. Absolutely this has totally changed

125
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: the market for QB's in their valuations. In fact, I

126
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: crunched the numbers here and according to my calculations, if

127
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: a totally hitty, garbage QB like Daniel Jones is worth

128
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty million, then you have to project

129
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: that Jalen Hurts is worth approximately one point two billion dollars.

130
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: Give a take. Wow, just tremendous analysis and computation that, Tony,

131
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: And you know I would love to get into that more,

132
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: but a guest is coming on the line, so let's

133
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: bring him on. The Fusco Satellite Network. Satellite all right,

134
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: for decades Now, this guy's been considered one of the

135
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: legends over at ESPN. He worked behind the scenes as

136
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: a researcher and producer, you know the story, before becoming

137
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: on air co host of the popular sports trivia game

138
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: show Stump the Schwab, where he became known around the

139
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: world as the Sultan of Sports Trivia, the title which,

140
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: as you remember, he lost right here on this show

141
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: two years ago when absolutely Tony absolutely just wiped the

142
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: floor with him and in a totally fair sports trivia competition.

143
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: So we do have to give him his due for

144
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: being man enough to come on the show again show

145
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: his face after that total humiliation. Respect Welcome back to

146
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: the show. Welcome back, Howie? How much are you paying

147
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: me for this? Oh? We're off with a pang. Yeah,

148
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: we're going to start here. Is that how you started

149
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: negotiations with the ESPN No wonder they left you on

150
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: the side of the highway in Bristol after that introduction. Now,

151
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: how you kicked my ass the last time? Great, we

152
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: were we were very respectful about the very respectful. You're

153
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: wearing an eagle jersey. I'm a giant man. Good job

154
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: that right. We're like, look, we know you're back here.

155
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: How you want to win your title back? And we're

156
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: gonna give you that shot. But first, it was a

157
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: moment this week. You may have seen it on ESPN's

158
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: First Take with Stephen A. Smith. Totally Michael Kay for

159
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: attempting to talk hot. Believe your reaction to that clip.

160
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: I think it's awful because the NHL has very much

161
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: earned its right to be among the major sports. There

162
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: you go, there you go. I understand if you don't

163
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: want to say it's ESPN will say the NBA is

164
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: above it, and we'll say baseball and football. Of course,

165
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: the NFL it's up there, Okay, But the bottom line

166
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: is this, Look what the look what Look what the

167
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: Boston Bruins have done this year? One of the greatest

168
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: years every David, Yeah, Conor McDavid, he's the things every

169
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: American knows. Yep. Now we want to know you worked

170
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: behind the scenes there When you were there, did you

171
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: notice a strong anti hockey bias at ESPN? I would

172
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: say that hockey did not get its just do ye

173
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: when it was not on the network. I mean the

174
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: stories they did were like the Russian spies, uh involving hockey.

175
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: There were others. I mean no, I don't think they

176
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: dropped the job. Uh. And it was off the air.

177
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: Once it came back on the air, uh, I thought that, Well,

178
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: they gave it a little more respect. They they have

179
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: that TV show the point, Yes, they give it a

180
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: little bit replaced first take in NAPI. Yeah, they should

181
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: have Barry Melrose on every morning first take. They're missing

182
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: the point literally, yeah, yeah, exactly. Barry would have to

183
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: get up early. I don't know if you'd want that

184
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: about that, but I it's a shame because there there's

185
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: ways to give it more publicity. Unfortunately, I think when

186
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: you're talking about first take, I don't think Stephen A

187
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: really cares that much about hockey. So yeah, yeah he's

188
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: been outed. Now you don't love nothing else he let

189
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: me Steven A. Smith gets criticized by some people. Steven A.

190
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: Smith's a good person, yes, but he's so anti hockey,

191
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: and that's shape. He's a good person who's anti hockey.

192
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: Is that what led to your split with ESPN, that Hey,

193
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: if you don't put on more hockey, I'm leaving you

194
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: violently demand they put on more hockey coverage, And there

195
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: was some sort of fight between you and them, No,

196
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: that did not happen. That's what we heard that you

197
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: walked in one day and you punched one of the

198
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: producers in the mouth and you said, lead with the

199
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: Nordecks verst the senators. Yeah, it's funny to tell his story,

200
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: which is obviously not true. But one time I did

201
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: have a disagreement the producer a sports center when Mario

202
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: Lemieux was going to be out for like months. He

203
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: had is the fourth story in the show? Are you

204
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: kidding me? And I went, I went crazy. I went

205
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: to above his head. I went to one of the

206
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: Boston said this is good game. You're wrong. Yeah, they

207
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: changed it, and that guy pissed off at me. But

208
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: you know what, I wasn't wrong so well on the

209
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 1: subject the way you are wrong. That's called a segue.

210
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 1: Yeah that's a great, Paul. I want to win your

211
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: title back. You want to play the trivia again. So yeah,

212
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna be time right now, not really, not clearly.

213
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: Oh see he's scared. He's already given himself now. Oh no, no,

214
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: no I'm not. I'm ready. I'll get ready. I can't

215
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: wait to hear the assn questions that are going to

216
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: come my way. But it's all good, he's implying. This

217
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: isn't the super Bowl. Don't worry, it's not so well.

218
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 1: You get your chance at payback right now. Okay, you're

00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,440

00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:37,200

Speaker 1: for our first round is NFL. Okay, here you go, Howie.

235
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: This one's for you. People like to say Patrick Baholmes

236
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: is a great quarterback, but he's not that great. He's

237
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: not even the Chiefs all time passing yards leader. He's

238
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: second on the list all time. First in Chief's history is,

239
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: of course, Len Dawson. Howie, tell me for one point,

240
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: who is third on the list. I was gonna say,

241
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: Lenn Dawson's first. Oh my god, do bad for you.

242
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: We're already struggling. Yeah, don't make me buzz you out here. Yeah,

243
00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: you got a time limit five four, three two one?

244
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: All right, Tony, this who this whole count told you total?

245
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: But Tony, just out of curiosity, do you know the

246
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: answer to that one? Trent Green? Boo to you? Got

247
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: Trent Green is the correct answer? There not a great

248
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: start for you. All right now we moved to Tony. Okay, Tony,

249
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: this one's for you, Trent Green. As we just established

250
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: this third in all time passing yards for the Chiefs.

251
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: But eleventh on the list is which notable four times

252
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: super Bowl winning quarterback. Excuse me, Howie, Tony needs to focus,

253
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: So please, Howie, please, I believe it's Joe Montana boot correct.

254
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: Joe Montan is the corrects After round one Tony has won. Howie,

255
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: still zero and that's even dating back to our last

256
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: competition where you finished with zero. So hopefully you'll get

257
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: on the board soon. All right, next question now we

258
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: get ready to category for this round is NBA. Okay,

259
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: we all remember nineteen ninety six when the Philadelphia seventy

260
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: six is used the number one overall pick to draft

261
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: Alan Iveson the Goat. But Howie, who did the Sixes

262
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: draft that same year with the thirty first pick. I'll

263
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: remind you these are all just randomly selected questions, randomly

264
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: selected Yeah, oh god, alright, Howie, we're gonna have to

265
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: speed up here. Our audience is gonna fall aslate did

266
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: thirty first overall? Yes, you Starwie, Donty. This will not

267
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: count doing a total. But do you happen to know

268
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: the answer to this one? I can't guess. Was it

00:17:54,440 --> 00:18:00,080

275
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: overall in the nineteen ninety six draft US, which future

276
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: five time champ out of Wake Forest was the number

277
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 1: one pick in nineteen ninety seven. And it would be

278
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,639
