Welcome on in it is the midday show. Hugh Douglas, Joe Gileo, you guys with us, 215, 592, 94 94. That is how you hop aboard Kyle Quinn is behind the glass. And my almighty, we have a show today, the bracket of Hughes begins first round matchups in the football guy region in the radio guy region. The Eagles made a trade yesterday. We got to talk about, but we start with last night in one of the most seminal moments. I can remember at WIP what a game. Here's, here's what I felt last night as I watched Joe to camera, take down Jack Fritz 11 to six. I felt like I was watching something that we're going to talk about for years and years and years and years. Good morning, Hugh Douglas, to camera 11, Jack six. We have ourselves a basketball game to talk about. Good morning, Joe. Good morning, Philadelphia. And the only thing I can say is that is never underestimate the, the, the resilience of old people, you know what I mean? I mean, and I know I'm older than the camera. Yeah, but, uh, that was, that was, that was something to see yesterday.

It was definitely something to see as we picked the confetti up from the last segment. He was at the art of war by Sun Zoo Douglas. Yeah, there are those made the pot of all that in the mix for next year's bracket. Sun zoo Douglas, Hugh, what was your reaction to watching it? Because I, I got to tell you, I, I was captivated. First of all, incredible turn out, it was a credible turnout last night. And incredible job by everyone at WIP to put that together on, especially on YouTube. 20,000 people were watching that at one time. I was among those people. And I went, I'll tell you where I was last time. I went in watching it just for fun. And then I took, I took out the notepad to you. And I started taking notes like I was watching an Eagles game because I thought zoom off and Fran on the call, they were incredible. They painted the picture. Did a great job of, of being a professional and bringing you inside again. Yes, you can tell when you're dealing with professionals because even though it was a one on one game and it wasn't that long, they put a lot of effort and work into that. You can hear it when they did the call. They, they were great. They were great. Joe, the camera deserves all the credit this morning that he's getting.

And I never thought I would say this on the airwaves of WIP. I never thought I would say it out loud. I never thought I would think it, but don't we have to say it? Joe, the camera is the better athlete than Jack Fritz. He beat him. He won. He won fair and square. I was wrong. I apologized to Joe, the camera for doubting him. And I just, I saw this torna. I saw this competition the wrong way. Hugh Jack, Jack, I thought he was the favorite. I thought he should have won. Well, but he didn't. I mean, at the end of the day, the scoreboard says 11 is six. Joe and basketball. The scoreboard says three to two. Joe in the whole ledger, Joe wins fair and square. I was wrong. Joe, the camera, I apologize. I underestimated Joe's athletic ability, especially in the skill games, whether it be golf or tennis or basketball. Joe's a little more skilled. I'd tell you, there was a moment and we're going to get to some of the best moments and the best calls of this game last night, Hugh. But I went in to yesterday thinking Jack was going to win. And I was watching the stream because it was a little pre-game show, right? Yes. And they had the camera on the court.

And I could go through my mess here. I think I texted Kyle. I was like, I watched Joe shoot around for a few minutes. I was like, oh, Joe could shoot it. And that was the moment I said, I might be dead wrong on this. You never have a game start or you just see a player like, oh, he looks a little different than I thought. No, I told you. And that was, I was wrong. You were right on this one. No, I told you when I met his friend, I think if I'm messing up Brian's name, because I think it's Brian and Ampro. It was he said, hey, man, Joe can shoot. Yeah, he said he can shoot. He remembered him in high school. He said he can shoot. And I was like, okay, shooters, you know, that's a skill that, you know, if it's like riding a bike almost, if you have that skill, you're going to, you're going to recall that skill with the muscle memory, whatever. I feel, you know, I feel bad for when all of this Jack. No, I feel bad for I feel bad. Oh, there was a moment at the end when Joe hits a shot to win. And Ike falls on the ground. You watched the man's soul leave his body. It was, I did, let me tell you one thing, I know my brother, my brother. Ike is super competitive. Yes.

And I know a lot of time. Like you don't get a chance to see it because he's kind of subdued with it now because we, you know, we've gotten a little older. You could feel it though. But you can, yeah, but Ike has a competitive nature, man, that's unmatched. And even though he probably didn't, you know, do a whole lot of hoopla, he believed in Jack, oh, he believed. And when that moment happened and it didn't go the way that he, he felt this should have went, man, it was almost like he lost, like he was out there on the court. Yeah. Well, I mean, some of the time out, he was out there coaching Jack up. You could see it. The very animate. All right. 215, 592, 90 for your reaction to Joe, verse, Jack, Joe, Joe takes it 11 to six. He is the champion. He's the better athlete here at WIP. He gets the WIP cup. All right. Let's, um, let's kind of go through what happened. I want to start with this. I was watching the broadcast on YouTube and they had both Joe and Jack on for a little pregame, well, hype up before this thing. And he was amazing because Jack called the game exactly. They asked Jack before, they asked Jack before the game.

What, how do you think the game plays out? And he said it comes down to two things. And I, it was, it was incredible how he clearly called out the game. We'll go, he said the game would come down to if I make my layups and just Joe make his jump shots. And that is exactly what happened. Jack missed his layups. Joe made his jump shots and the game was, was Joe's. All right. Let's, let's listen to some of the sights and sounds or sounds, I guess. Of last night, it started off with Jack with the lead for two Fritz to camera. Struggle and early, I believe it was called helpless by a friend. Now Fritz, again, backing him down, getting underneath the camera is helpless. And he gets the easy layup as he went to the glass. And it's for two Jack Fritz. Very good finish by Jack Fritz. Squared those shoulders up to the backboard and finished the play with not much difficulty. So a good start for Jack. It felt like he was in a little bit of control. Joe was in some trouble. But then Jack missed layup after layup after layup. And this is where the game turned. Let's hear Mark Zumaugh on the call when the game turned in Joe's direction.

There goes Fritz blowing by DeCara. Oh, and he missed again. He's missed at least a half dozen layups already. DeCara thinking about a two. There it is. Yes, he is. And the camera leads it for the first time. I think Jack three two point shots for Joe DeCara to lead at six four. And there was your turning point, Hugh Douglas. That from there on Joe never looked back. That that was the moment last night where you said, Jack is in big trouble. You know what it was for me? It was the beginning of the game, all the miss shots. There's a lot of miss shots at the beginning of the game. I mean, I think it was six layups. Yeah. And it felt like to me that Jack got away from the game plan that he should have implemented. The whole thing. You know, I mean, if you, if first you don't succeed, try try again. You should have kept backing him down. It's he's not a big dude. I don't know. Well, he did backing them, but he just missed the lips when he backed them down. That's what I'm saying, Joe, back him down and to the ball starts to fall. Like that was your strategy.

Joe had been laid up for like months and traction. What's what he was, no, right? He was laid up in traction. He was in a walk, but he had a walker here. I mean, that's not, that's not a joke. That's so, so you have to use your, your, your skills, your, your size to your advantage. At some point, he would have gotten tired and, and you didn't do any of that. It, yeah, yeah. I'm going to be measured because I know Jack's not feeling good this morning. Well, but listen, but we have a job here. We got, when the Eagles lose, we got a call like we see it, right? We can't, we can't sugar code accountability. It's, I love Jack. I was rooting for Jack. I want him to win, but he lost. I mean, you're right. You're right, but I'm trying to be measured in my assessment because you know, I've been told I could be a little heavy handed with, with, with my assessment. Well, wait till we get to the anti-dolton trade. I don't want to be like that with Jack because, you know, it's, hmm. Yeah, I don't want to be like that. All right. Well, listen, it was Jack, Jack struggle with the layups.

He needed to hit them early. He did not. So Joe takes, it takes control of this basketball game. And then when Joe hit this shot, it felt like Jack was in a world of hurt. Fritz even closer defensively. He's got to respect that two point shot. The camera thinking about it, thinking about it. There it is for two. Got it. All cotton for Joe. The camera hits another two. He'll win it. He leads it nine to five and Jack Fritz calls it time out. The crowd. But Nana was all cotton here. Joe, the camera. That was a great crowd. And they are loving it. But y'all don't get that. That was the man on the net. Yes, it was a beautiful shot. So all right. So the call cut. So there's two, there's two ways to a set. There's a few ways to assess what happened last night. The first one is Joe gets a lot of credit for the way he played. But then took the way Jack played. Okay. We mentioned the mislayups. They have to be hit. He's got to hit him. But he would really, I think, cost Fritz in this game. Is he just dared to camera to make shot after shot?

And Joe's challenging. Hey, in a challenge. So zoom off did say on that last one to go up nine to five that, that Jack got a little bit closer to him, but you got to get up on him. I mean, you can't, I mean, Joe, there's Joe has no burst. Right. Let's be real. And he's not getting around. No, he's not getting around anyone. He's got no burst. Once it gets to seven, five, nine, five, then you got a press. You have to get up right in his face and not let him get anywhere. No quarter, Joe. No quarter. And I think when I was watching, I coach. I could tell I was trying to tell him that. And it seemed like Jack moved up of maybe a foot or two before the nine, five shot. But even on the game winner here, way too much room. You got to get up right in this face and make him go around you. Jack didn't and Decamber buried him. There it is for the win. I'm not that. What a sensational victory for Joe Decamber. The yes there. I mean, I've been waiting here at Yes from zoom off. It's been a long time. It's been a long time. A great call, a great game. 215, 592, 94, 94.

All right, before we get to everyone's reaction here, let's hear the Joe Decamber victory speech. He earned it. It took about 11 months, but we got here Decamber the winner of the overall competition. Thank you, Rod. Let me turn this one. Are they boy? Oh, wow, this crowd is crazy. Ah, thanks guys. Pause, go ahead. I'll answer your questions. Yes, so you win 11, 6 over here over Jack Fritz. This was a nine month competition. Could you have ever imagined it went quite like that? You know, I actually thought it would go exactly like that. I didn't think it would take as long to get here, but I expected to win for the most part the whole time. Look, Jack was good. First off, guys, before I got it further, let me, before I even salute you, guys, let's have a great round of applause for Jack Fritz. Jack did a great job. Oh, he did. You know, like Jack, Jack stepped up big time in the baseball challenge, kicked my, kicked my butt in the run, and was a really worthy competitor. And it's not only part of the president of the station, but he's going to be a force for 30 or 40 years in WIP.

And I really love him. Way to try to make you feel better, buddy, so. Well, he, he was humble hammer there. He wasn't, he wasn't haughty hammer, humble. Okay, we're here, Doc, because I, I mean, I can't do this anymore. You know, I, I, I was thinking about something like when they say, like, when my, my graph father back in the day, you stood, used to raise dogs, right? Okay. I remember he used to always say, if they don't bite when they puppies, they don't never bite. Right. Jack ain't got that dog any man. I mean, it's, it's, it's, it's this heartening to know that you, you know, love Jack, love Jack, but I had a feeling like when we had to press conference, the, the fidgetness, the nervousness that he had, he, he couldn't wait for this moment to go away. He played like it, man. And now, like Jack, this is, I'm talking to Jack now, Jack, this is, this is all you're doing. Like you did, whatever happens in the ridicule that you face, that's your fault. You were clearly the better athlete.

You were clear. Jack, you played baseball, like you have athletic skills and you refuse to use it. That's, that's what's frustrating and I'm, I'm, I'm kind of, the reason why I'm going here because I feel, I'm, I'm speaking for Ike in a sense because I felt Ike's pain. You had all the, this should have never been, if you're being honest about it, should have never been a competition. Well, we should have got to gain five. Yeah. No, never been a competition. This should have been over with what three weeks ago, like months ago, it should have been over with three, three nail at this point. But for whatever reason, man, it, it feels like when the moment, and it's not, and I don't even consider this a big moment, but it feels like, I don't understand how, you know, you can have all this bravado on the air and then come up short in, in athleticism. Well, but don't we see that a lot in pro sports? Sometimes the guy that you think is going to have the big moment, he can't do it in the big moment. Man, come on man. You got it. You got it. Come on man. And you have to own this dog.

This is, this is the teaching moment for you, like seriously because you, you know, you're, Jack Fritz, you do what Fritz is six, you need to step up, man, you need to start eating some gunpowder, something, you need to do something, man, get, get, get some dog in you, man. Right? Well, it's too late. It's too late. He lost a competition. It's over. It is. No, but I'm just saying for the next one. You know, I don't know. Well, I mean, there ain't going to be no rematch. Right. I'm just saying for anything else that comes up like this competitive spirit, well, what's the point of anyone challenging Jack now? Like Joe is the reigning heavyweight champion of the world. If you want to take down and be number one, you've got to take down the camera. No, no one's challenged despite her ego. All right. Could we hear from Jack after the game? Not favorable, Rims. I also want that pointed out. Not favorable to me, but yeah, I mean, it was just, it was just about stay up on them, make them dribble, get in the paint. I tried and he hit the, hit the jumper over me. Any last thing you want to say to your disappointed fans here tonight? Yeah. I mean, hopefully this is the last event I ever have to do. I don't like doing this.

I want that to be clear and on the record. This is ruined my life for the last month. It's all I've thought about. And now I can just get ready for opening day. And I get back to loving my kids and my wife. Hmm. Boy, that was him. He put himself out there. That was all the emotion. Like, that's why we love sports right there. Not not that I don't want to see Jack hurt. I love Jack, but the emotion of the game, that's why we love it. And I got to give credit there to Buzz Wilson. I mean, that's, that's a, that is a rising star on the sidelines to put to get asked that question to get to get that emotion out of Jack. It's big time stuff. All right. 215 592 9494. You experienced it. You watched it. It's been 11 months now. Last night was the culmination. You just heard some of the greatest moments of the game last night. Your reaction to Joe verse, Jack. And do we owe to Cameron apology? I do. I'll just be the one. I doubted to camera. I thought Jack's just a physical, you know, advantages would work out. And they didn't. I underestimate the heart of the camera. And I overestimated the athlete that Jack Fritz is. I was wrong on this thing.

Kyle, what are you feeling this morning as to camera takes it home? So I don't need to apologize because allow me to channel my inner Hugh Douglas. I tried to tell you. Yeah, you tried it too. Besides Joe to camera, I might have been the only person that from day one had the camera winning this competition. You did. You called early. The whole thing. And yesterday, and, and Rhea apparently, like to add herself in that next. So Rhea and I and the camera were on to camera from the jump. Because we saw this coming with Jack, Jack, Jack didn't care enough. And that matters. That matters. Like, you know, now after this, Joe has every right to come, self a better athlete than Jack. But Jack is younger, faster, stronger as Joe himself has pointed out. But the thing is the gap wasn't wide enough for Jack to care as little as he did. And into your point, the games weren't designed enough to, it wasn't like swimming, running, biking. Right. But basketball, golf and tennis are a little more skill based than just athleticism. Right. Like Jack couldn't just get by on, on the size of a gap in talent alone.

Like the camera wanted it so much more. And I compared it yesterday to the Super Bowl Eagles chiefs, the second one, where the Eagles went in, knowing they were going to, they were going to dominate. And the chiefs were just like, you know, we've done this before, were them or, or you know, what doesn't stink. Much like that. There was a glazed overlook in the chiefs. That was through that game. I saw it last night. Yep. And I mean, I saw that coming from the jump. And then especially once Joe won golf, that's when, that's when I knew Jack was in serious trouble here. And you know, I didn't fully know how this basketball was going to turn out. But you could kind of see it early on, Jack driving way too low, breaking the layups. And I mean, the camera was able to get those rebounds too, which is really important underneath the rim. So very impressive win by Joe to camera, but I saw it coming the whole way. All right. So when I told you so, Quinn, I'm apologizing and Hugh Douglas is basically trying to give a pep talk to Jack Fritz to wake up. We got to do it. We got to do it. We got to give some backbone.

You know, you got to come on. We got to do better. We got five, five, nine, two, nine, four, nine, four. All right. Your reaction to Fritz, the camera, 11 to six, Joe to camera takes down Jack Fritz. We got a lot to do today. Let's get to the phone lines here. The bracket of Hughes will begin later on this hour. Rea Hughes will join us as well. It is a big day on WIP. Chris in Middletown is up by saw him last night, as I watched on YouTube, part of the authorized for Jack Fritz. And then he went down. Chris, good morning. What a dark, cloudy day. Yeah. I don't need told you so, Douglas today. Unfortunately, we have him. We have a lot of I told you so today. Complete that chest, sir. Not looking for that. Guys, listen, I was the ringleader of Team Fritz. I wore my Team Fritz t-shirt, which is, you know, looks, describe it for the listeners. It's Philly's red, white lettering that reads Team Fritz across the top. It's got the cartoon picture of the little kid urinating on, and then I got, you know,

the camera's name there. But, you know, I was tormenting the crowd. They were booing us, and I, you know, me, I tend to enjoy that sort of thing, and it, you know, kind of fired me up. But yeah, I mean, Hugh, that was me booing in the background. That was loud, bro. You were loud. Yeah, you know, I mean, I know this is a shocker, y'all, but I can be a little loud. Yeah, I mean, I heckled him the entire time when he threw up Brick. Like, yeah, thanks Ben Simmons, you know, the chat on YouTube was calling him Brick Fritz, you know, Brick's at 6, which is not, not great. That might stick for a while. Yeah, I mean, the camera, I kept making fun of him because he was going to it in Hale or he was stalling, and every time he would stall, I would just hack him up because I was like, you know, what I know, you're catching your breath, but I'm not going to let you get away with this because I was right behind the, you know, where they had it roped off at half the work.

So I was standing right there. I might add, I was standing with some other good, good collars, Yoshi, shout out to Yoshi. He's always good time to hang out with my brother Yoshi. Now, here's one of the failures to team Fritz. They had that clown cowboy gym was in the entourage, and that's the failure. When you put that, that cowboy stink on yourself, that you're setting yourself up for a long point. Yeah. That was that. Um, I, I agree, was just flat losing his mind the entire time. Yeah, he's super competitive. Chris, I don't know if you, you were looking at him when the shot by the camera to win it went in. I, all of us on video watched the man's soul leave his body. You could just feel it. It felt like, remember when the, the, the Eagles won on the double doink and the, the bear's mask got just fell to the ground. That's what I was last night. He just fell to the ground. It was terrible. I mean, before that, and I don't know if you guys saw this on YouTube, because that one got back to see the video. At one point, he was about 10, I'm sorry, I was about 10 see out on the court.

I thought Crawford was going to team up or throw him out of the game. He was on the court. And, and dude, I, yeah, I was, I was ready to snap, um, but it, you know, guys, I just want to put this out there. So this is a life lesson for everyone, okay, when will and desire and hard work can be talent. And Jack's lack of heart showed us that this event, like he went in and channeled his inner AJ Brown. He just rolled it out there like AJ didn't play off game. And you know what, David can take down Goliath when Goliath just rolls out there half hard and things. He's just got this one in the bag and don't really care. And that it was so clear and I can't comprehend it you because my, I was, I had more competitive heart spirit in that game. That's what it is. That's what it is, Chris. And I can't process that. Yeah. It's a shame. Really is a shame. Chris, we appreciate the phone call. And I did see Chris with the entourage last time. It was quite an entourage. Bam was there.

Cowboy Jim. You know, you know what it is, man? And I think about it. It's like the one thing about athletes, oh, that like was talking to John and Ike, there are certain that, you know, when you get older, you know, and you, you're not the guy that you used to be, that fire still burns. And certain things happen that kind of bring that out. You know, if you get challenged, even though you might not be able to do some of the things you used to do when you're challenged, it just, it just burns something inside you want to do it. I don't understand that. That, that's the thing that I'm more disappointed in because Jack has youth on his side. A lot of youth. Fifteen years. A lot of youth on his side and Jack played in college like that's what, that's the part that I don't understand every, every individual I know that played in college has that fire and that desire, that, that burn, where, where's Jack's like seriously, where's Jack's? Here. I don't know. I'm disappointed, disappointed for him, but the camera deserves credit because he won

this thing. The bottom line is you win or you lose, right? It's, it's a zero sum game. The camera is the champ this morning. He gets the crown. He gets the cup. He is two one five five nine two ninety four nine for Joe Beach Jack in the athletic competition. A lot of people think, a lot of people, I think Joe and apology, I own, I, I, I, I'm sorry, Joe, I was wrong. I underestimated Joe overestimated Jack. You could apologize to Joe here. Your reaction to all of it, real will join us next. She's been part of this from the beginning and we will start up the matchups for the bracket of Hughes, the football guy region, the radio guy region all get going today. It is March. Plus, how about this, Joe, the camera laid the traps in the rule negotiations. You explain that this morning. We'll hear that next midday show on sports radio, 94 WIP. Welcome back. It is the midday show. Hugh Douglas, Joe, Jillian, you guys put us two one five five nine two ninety four ninety four is Joe, the camera is the champ. He beats Jack for it's 11 to six last night. Let's talk about it. Let's react. I own, I own Joe and apology. Let's talk about it. He was better.

He was the better athlete and we are, well, they are today. We are joined today by Rhea Hughes, Thursday with Rhea brought to you by Xfinity, proud sponsor of WIP's Xfinity, mobile lounge, watch all your favorite teams all in a place, Xfinity, imagine that Rhea, what a day around here. Oh my God. That was so wild last night. So I was there, obviously, supporting Joe to camera, who by the way, Kyle, I also, from the beginning, you guys nailed it. I was, I said, yeah, I think just because Joe's mind, I've learned over these three years, how it works. And he's going to beat you by, what's the word, over organizing that's not like the word for Joe over organizing the, but it's why he's good at what he does. It's why he's very good at what he does and watching that last night, it was just, and I had the pleasure. I watched it with Bob Cooney, you know, now he's it with Owen Paterson with a six years beat reporter. That's pretty awesome. Someone who's seen a lot of high level basketball. Not this year. Not this year. None thought I'll be this year, the past zero, not the past couple of weeks.

This might have been more entertaining. So it was the way he did it and just watching, you know, I realized how he was going about it. Yeah. So at what point of the game? So Jack gets up early. Yeah. But then Joe comes back. When did you start to know? Uh oh, Jack was in some trouble because when he, there was a sequence where they both were struggling to make shots, but they both miss like their first five shots. Joe from, from long range and Jack, you know, just lay ups. When Jack missed like his fourth layup in a row, I was like, Oh, no, he's let too many easy ones go. You should have, you should have been like up nine to two. Yeah. Easily. Yeah. I knew, I knew it was a problem. So where we were, we're behind, not behind the basket in front of it. That's where I was standing. And Joe right in front of us tries to dribble the ball between Jack's legs and I went and but it didn't go through. Yeah. Yeah. And Jack went to run it down and it went out of bounds. Oh, yes. Yes. And he was kind of annoyed at Joey Crawford. No, no, he was instead and he got really upset.

And I go, Joe just tried to do the most insane thing ever. You're Joe to camera. You're 47 years old. You're not Andre Agassi, you know, try to hit the ball between your, it was unbelievable. That's not your skill set. No, but he was doing it to take him off. Yeah. And it works. Are speaking of, of it working and some of Joe's strategies throughout this whole thing but to get to get in Jack's head and hear that a lot in the morning show. This one was interesting. Kyle, let's hear Joe talking about how, and this was this morning when you show how kind of the last few weeks he, he was strategically making the afternoon show think they were winning the battle, but they are actually were losing the battle. Here was Joe this morning. So like in recent weeks, like, I don't want, I don't want free throws at all. That's hilarious at all. That's amazing. I dangled it out there. I dangled it out there because two fold one. I needed to anything I needed to save in my back pocket to really advocate for like the closer.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Three point shot. I like that. Yeah. That was my number. My number one. Well, clearly, that's the way you played. Now, it didn't turn out that that was negotiated, Rod Lake and Megan, an executive decision. I assume there was only going to be one, three point line at the venue, it turned out there were two. Rod made the call and formed us. It happened to work out to my benefit, but that's what I was saving in my back pocket. If Rod had said the back one, would you have fought for the other if you knew it was there? If, if Rod had said the, yes, if Rod had said, let's go back, yes, I would have, you would have, you would have said, I would have said free throw. You would have said, correct, correct, correct, but that's not the only one. Make it take it. When I realized I was, because I am not in as good a shape as I was last August, I'm just not even close, not. When I knew that over the last two weeks, it's like, wait a minute here. Make it take it, makes it a shorter game. Yep. And that's better for you and your style.

Better for me. Yep. Or lack of thereof. What I heard there, yes, as he went through it all is he outfoxed the afternoon show. It was, when, whenever Rod was in, I forget if it was Monday or Tuesday to do the, the rules. Yes. And Joe's like, yeah, I'm good with that. You can see it at everything. Everything. And I'm looking, James and I, we, our studios are right next to each other and we share a window. I kept looking and I'm going, what is he doing? Well, Joe's never good with anything like he is. No, that's the other thing. If you run something by Joe, Joe's initial thing is, I'll get back to you on that. Yep. So I was blown away by it. And now I realize it was part of his evil plan. Yeah. And that it was an evil plan and it absolutely worked. It's going to infuriate them. Well, the afternoon show today is going to be my lesson radio because they, I, now you got Joe handled the way he did this morning. I thought he was more gracious towards Jack than, than, you know, yeah, because Jack probably going through it. You don't need that. Here's my thing. I have less of an issue with Jack because Jack, I thought was in pretty good shape. Like it was clear he got himself in shape, but he doesn't play a lot of basketball.

No, it's, it's the other guys on that show. It is. It is. That's the story. The thing is they kind of put Jack up to this and they made him very anxious. They staged momed him to death. Well, they made him feel like he was letting, he was letting them down if he didn't win. That's it. And that's not wrong. And I love that. Oh, that got you. That got you. I have never heard of it. They did stage bomb. They did. Don't you mess up a line? They staged momdom. They did. They did. 七 century. I聽 him. Fastened any like child actors, Mom or dad. And sometimes the kid doesn't want to act any more. Yes. And I saw a kid out there last time that did not want to act anymore. No, no. We've lost you, no. We've lost you for the rest of the game. The triangles did not set the right. No. Because it judged because I was hurt. Oh, I felt in the ground. It was bad. He felt the ground someone compared it to the Bears mascot on the quadruple.

left his body last night. He could just feel it. I felt his pain. Now, all everything is playing in my head with when Joe the Kamikaze mommy. Yes. Mommy and daddy. Although, I did say to me last night, he's okay with daddy. Yeah. Well, it's like stage mom for sure. All right. They pressured your child into doing something. That's exactly what I'm telling you, Hugh. That's what they did. No, and as a father, I know this is my daughter playing basketball. And when she, as soon as she graduated from college, from high school, she said, I'm done. I'm done. This is it. So Jack's done. Yeah. Done with sports. He's done. I'll tell you everything I said about that. I'm sure pressured him. Oh, they did. I tried when Clark was little to get him into sports. And like after like two practices, when he was just, he was meant to go, just do whatever you want. That's what I'm saying. But it's just funny because that really tracks with, with the way I felt, the way he would ever look at them the same, ever again. Look at them the same again. Jack was the reluctant child that did not want to do it.

Pressured by his parents trying to live their glory through their, exactly. And you know, it's probably more spiked than anything. Living by Karsley through Jack. Yeah. Yeah. Spikes should have did it. Well, Spice got a fake hit. He can't, he can't move anymore. He's going to make Jack go play sports. Well, Joe can't move either. Well, that's true. I mean, that's he played it perfectly, which is why they were here, which is why Joe was the, the other dog, but he won this thing. All right, two, one, five, five, nine, two, nine, four, nine, four, let's grab Aaron and then, well, the bracket of Hughes will begin. I am dying. I get to pick one. You get to do the first matchup. Yes. Yes. All right. Aaron in San Diego up on WIP. Good morning, Aaron. Good morning, Philadelphia. Good morning, Aaron. I'm on a walk right now. So if I get out of breath, I apologize to everybody, but what they pressured you into getting this shape here, because everybody was calling fat. Is that what you're doing? Now I'm in the Minnesota right now, and so I figured I'd take a walk before the hockey game. See fat. And I just actually took a big spill. I hit the ice and went right down. You, you fell down this morning?

Oh, just now, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Aaron, are you okay? I'm all right. I'm all right. Okay. I think my hip might be broken, but you know, boy, this is out of breath from falling. Yeah, I was, I got, I kind of shocked me. So I'm a little bit of, okay, is it, is it really cold in Minnesota? What's it look like? This ain't a good look. No, well, none of this is a good look for being honest. None of the, the last 18 hours have been a bad look. All right, Aaron, what do you got for us on the camera fritz? Well, you know, it's cold when your nipples are hard enough where they can cut glass. So this is, yeah, yeah, we're going to go in two days ago. You told us you were in the shower while you called. Now we're talking about your nipples. We're going to a level we need to, we can't anymore. Please. So we, I think we have a problem of, we have the participation trophy generation that we're dealing with here. Yep. And I think it starts with Kyle Quinn. Not understanding how we, how we want to become a championship city.

Hey, even though we've only won one championship, it doesn't matter. You need to break the catcher breath there, big guy. Yeah, that's a good guy. Did you, did you big guy him? That's Kyle firing a salvo, which city is he talking about, the kind of championship city? Also, what are we talking about? Joe first, Jack or, yeah, I don't know, Eagles or Philly, we'll get to eventually never had to, you never had to sacrifice, you know, watching your favorite team because the TV station decided to black out your black at your game because they didn't sell enough tickets. Okay. But listen, I tried to call Jack. I call Jack and I told him that if he gets down, listen into the two voices in his head, that's Walker and Sutton down to get up dad because Walker and Sutton love you. And he just couldn't do it. He didn't have the intestinal for it to, no, let's not bring his kids into there. They're, they're also too young to understand what's going on here. I mean, one day they'll have fun with this, but I mean, they're a little kids. This call has been a banner call so far. Not the new friend when you're on.

But anyway, Aaron, is there a point that's just wondering if it's their a point? Well, you think cost when you fell. Small part of me thinks that Jack Ritz maybe playing possum with everybody. Playing possum. It's over. He lost. It's over. I know, but he's a young up and coming. Sorry at WIP. Okay. He's going up against a juggernaut at WIP. He can't, he can't make the juggernaut look. Yeah, that showed the cavers a juggernaut of an athlete. No, but he might, he might have a save. That's hyperbolic. Jack is easier, but anyways. Oh, they turned into a crane wreck. Yeah, yeah, you did. You know, you know what we're going to do? We're going to let you get back to your walk dog. We're going to, we're going to try to get this show back. Oh, we didn't put it down to you. What are you? No, what are you? What do you say? No, I was giving you an out. I want you to put somebody on. I know. That's why what's what do you say when you're ready to put, give somebody an out? I wasn't going to pop you down though, Aaron, because we're okay, potting down. All right. We also have hang up chillio. And that's what we just did. Yeah, Aaron, I mean, we were trying to let you,

we were trying to give you a graceful. Yeah, you were trying to say goodbye and nice way. Aaron thought you were putting him on hold. No, I wasn't. We were trying to help him out because he was all over the place. I'll tell you what though, but, but for real, all the jokes aside, when you start trying to get back and shaping, you're not used to walking like that and trying to talk. It's kind of hard. So I think that's what it was. You think, oh, okay. Well, Aaron, we're going back here. Appreciate the phone call. All right. You're, you're, you're reacting to Joe Verstjack, 215, 592, 90, 494. But before we go any further, it is a special day in the sports world, Rea. And you know, typically this is reserved for the NCAA tournament, which begins coming up in like an hour and 15 minutes or so. But Rea, it's a different day here. March madness begins. We have the bracket of Hughes. I love it. I was checking it out yesterday. Yes. So you get to, you get to have the first matchup, because you're in the studio. So we are failing. We're starting off the show today. First couple of hours. Last year, do you remember, was anybody remember? Who was our champion last year? I forgot. Who won the bracket last year? There was told you so, Douglas. I was told you so, Douglas. I love told you so, Douglas. That is a favorite. We, so the number

one seeds this year told you so a blue blood now back. Okay. We also have reckless speculation, bottom down and tongue tied to you. So those are the number one overall seeds. But we're starting Rea in the football guy region. You get to have the first matchup here in our football guy region. All right, let's go with this one. The first matchup to Rea Hughes, the sick seed, Cloud Chaser Douglas, which is when he wants everyone to be agree with them. And he wants everyone to like it stakes. Or I test you. When he says, trust me, my I test is better than yours. Cloud Chaser or I test you. I just love thinking of you in regards to chasing Cloud. It's just the Cloud Chasing Hughes is one of my favorites. Yeah. So I'm going with Cloud Chaser. Cloud Chaser Hugh, the first matchup. Yes. Yeah. Let me look at my bracket as I did it. Yeah, I did a bracket like you do the NCAA tournament. I filled it out all the way. Oh, you know what? Can I can I get a

car? I want to do one of this. And then what I'll do is I'll fax it to I'll fax it over to I it's turbo. It's on my phone. I don't actually have a fax. But you know, we need to do next year, we need to have an office pool. Yes, like we do with March madness. Next year, we'll have a pool to see who has the right, you know, combination of $5 a piece and you know, that you win $100 on reckless speculation. Alright, to 611, Rea Hughes takes Cloud Chaser Douglas over I test our let's go to Anthony in Jersey talking about Joe verse check. What's up, Anthony? That's what you do, Emma. Hey, Rea, how you doing? It was very nice to meet you, Anthony. It was nice to meet you, Rea. Hey, hey, um, captain up Joe, the camera team right here. I knew it since day one. Jack didn't have it in him. Hammer was going to make him quit. And down, man down, unbelievable event, WR team, man, everybody. Oh, man,

unbelievable man, unbelievable. Anthony, you said hand down, man down, I got to tell you, I was disappointed in Jack's defense. Joe had one, Joe could do one thing in that game and shoot, right? And it took until I would say the last two shots for Jack to even move up close to him and move up close enough. The one time he got his hand up, he blocked him. Right. The first three jumpers, Anthony, that we saw Joe make, Joe wasn't even Jack wasn't even near him. He just let him shoot it. Hey, I was on, I was on Joe's side in day one. I did, I did not believe that Joe had anything like this in his bag or basketball or either athletic system that Joe show, man, I didn't believe Joe had any of this, man. I seen Joe shoot around a couple bucket starts dropping. I'm like, oh, oh, Joe can really play. He can, he can really, well, not play, but he can show. Yeah, he's like, instead of a designated hitter, he's a designated shooter, as long as he does that to move a lot. It's like the old school's packs and encourage to stand in the corner and shoot when we throw to you.

Exactly. No, Joe really can shoot, man. Hey, I was tuning in at two o'clock, man, I cannot wait to spite eat crow, man. Yeah, he has to eat a lot of crow. Yeah, I told, I told our boss or no, I told Joe to come in this morning. I said it to a clock. I'm going to have the games on. Yeah, I'm going to make some wings. So I made potato chips and I'm going to pour a nice glass of wine right at two o'clock. Yeah, the crow is, it's not even Jack. I mean, I'm with you. Jack doesn't have to eat any crow than he lost. Right? He played well enough. It's spike and Ike, but specifically spiked the stage. I was going to call, I was going to call it out. The news show, man, it's about to rub it in the fridge face, man, but I'm, you know, I congratulate Fritz also, man, for hanging in there, you know, I could, you know, Chris would have remarkable poured on Fritz, but that spike, man, pouring on spike, man, bad, bad. Put the pressure on him and I'm not ever mad at Jack, no, I'm mad at his

parents. I think it's certain of flame spike and Ike more than Jack for what we saw. Hey, how you doing? What's up, man? What's going on, man? I'm mad at, I'm mad at Ike now. I'm disappointed in putting pressure on their child like that. Yep. That's a mess. Can't do that. You know, it makes me think of watching all the events. They were, they were hovering over him. Now spike back up a little bit, but, but Ike was like trying to coach him up. Meanwhile, you guys just let Joe do his thing. Yeah. You let him be. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's his game. I can't believe it. They were negotiating rooms and spikes stepped in there. Like he had, like he was playing us something. How do you negotiate rooms between Joe and Jack? Well, even the even spike at the podium for the press conference ridiculous. I'm taking it a step further. When they gave him a chance to ask questions at the, at the press conference, he ain't even saying that. He's like, this is Jack's moment. It didn't you do it. You do it right there. Mm, bad, terrible, terrible, terrible parenting. Bad mommy, bad mom. I have well done. You have very excited about that. This could be quite a show. Anthony, are you ready for a matchup in the bracket of

Hughes? Yes, sir. All right. Here we go. The eight nine matchup in the football guy region. Oh, this is always a tough one. Tough one. The eight seed Hall of Famer Hugh against the ninth seed. Anthony, I like this matchup. Excuse maker Douglas. Hall of Famer Hugh or excuse maker Douglas. Who do you got? They make excuses. Oh, man. Hall of Fames Douglas is way going, man. Give me a huge mention, Douglas. Yes, yes, yes. This is the event where AJ Brown is weak. Oh, so good. So great. He did have a great phone call. Great phone call. Excuse maker. It's a dangerous team. There are problem if they move on. They really got him. Oh, the alarm. This guy makes so many apologies for these guys. All right. Let's go to Bob and Philly. What's up, Bob? Bob. Hey, good morning, guys. Good morning, Bob. Good morning. I'd like to talk about the re-emergence of Jess Stoutland with the foot of the Eagles and recklessly speculate on what that role might be.

Are you talking about the Lane Johnson thing? Yes. Okay. So just so do we have that? Do you guys have that sound? We can find it. Yeah, but Bob, your time at Lane's saying that he thinks, okay, let's hear it. Let's hear Lane. He was on the podcast with Ryan with and fits with and fits. Everyone's got a clever name for the podcast these days. He was on with those guys talking and Stoutland came up. You know, it's unfortunate. You know, the thing about him though, I think he'll be around some in some capacity this year. So, you know, it's not like he's going away a long ways away. But yeah, I was kind of taking back. But So Bob, you're you're taking your reckless speculation on what Lane is talking about there. Yes, I don't think he'll have anything to do with day to day because the man and the man need to run that. But last year, the eagle's got a hold of three young offensive linemen, a free agent from Rutgers, Holland Pierce, and two draft picks, Miles Hinton. And one I really like is Williams from Texas. Yeah, yeah.

And there and his was supposedly about a second or a third round pick, but he fell because he was too raw. And I think this is right up. He's a prime student for Stoutland University. And I just don't think our offensive line depth might be as dire as people think. All these three guys are has a lot of potential. And I think that's going to be Stoutland's role this year. He's going to continue to work with these three guys. And I really expect Williams to emerge and actually be a player maybe not this year, but in a year to go. I've seen him play a Texas and he really has some mobility and he's like 330 pounds. Big boys. So I hope you're right. I don't know. I mean, it's hard to understand to know fully what Lane means by that. Well, I think what it he's not they didn't want him to coach anywhere else this year. Right. So I think they probably reached an agreement with them. That'd be great. And because you have heard stuff, I've heard of people that he may be around this year. So if he's around just to keep him, you know, going anywhere else,

I'll do it with that. Let him. Yeah. Then let him develop the young guys. Sure. I mean, yeah, I think Bob, that's that would be great. Especially for those guys who might not get much playing time, but they want to develop them in the system. All right, Bob. Let's give you a match up here. The bracket of Hughes. Are you ready to pick your your Hugh Douglas to move on? I am so looking forward to the bracket of you. All right. Here we go. The number two seed off the leash Douglas against 15 seed hypothetical Hugh. Who should move on, Bob? Oh, off the leash Douglas. I think this is going to be a final four. Okay. I do. I like Bob. It's a great pick off the leash Douglas. Hypothetical love. It was a tough area. It was. I mean, that's not your typical 15 seed. It shows how deep this tournament really is. Oh, man, the madness has begun. Rhea, we appreciate hopping on today. May have been our most ridiculous conversation. We've had since you've been on our show. Are you sure? Well, maybe not, but I did like the way you wound Hugh up on this on the stage. Mom thing. Yeah, the stage mom is crazy. Yes, it's true,

though. Yes. Rhea, enjoy the madness. I can't wait. All right. You got to guys have a great day. There she goes. Rhea, Hughes, 215, 592, 90 for now. If you're back to your phone calls on Joe, verse Jack, we'll throw you a matchup of Hugh's here in the football guy region. And the Eagles made a trade yesterday. Pretty interesting move. I have a thought on it. You had a different thought on it. We'll tell you our thoughts on the Eagles trading for a quarterback Andy Dalton yesterday. It's the midday show sports radio 94 WIP. Maybe it's a two-week and win it. He leads it nine to six. He's just a little bit. He's a footer so outside of his range what I would say right here. He's going to try to back him down a little bit. There it is for the win. What a sensational victory for Joe DeCamera as he makes his fifth two-pointer. He's being hugged by his entourage. Joe DeCamera would be huge upset. Jack Fritz takes his Larry Bird, US Jersey and in frustration flips it off and throws it away

as DeCamera wins this round five. And I must say and declare for everyone within the sound of my voice. Joe DeCamera is the better athlete over Jack Fritz. What a call. What a moment. Mark zoom off with the yes. I mean, there's got to have goosebumps. I mean, you felt them on your forearm. The goosebumps right there. I mean, you appreciate the fact that they do what they do when they took it very, very seriously. They made it feel real. They made it feel like a real basketball game and not a couple of radio guys playing one-on-one. That was pretty cool. It was awesome. All right, 2-1-5-5-9-2-9-4-9-4. All your phone calls today reacting to Joe vs. Jack. Are you willing to apologize to Joe DeCamera? I am. I mean, it depends on where you were on this. If you were on Team Joe the whole way, really today is do you want to say I told you so? Like Kyle, like you to an extent. Or do you want to say I'm sorry, Joe, because that's what's wrong. I'm Joe. I apologize. I was wrong. I didn't think the camera had that in him.

I thought Jack's just overall athleticism would win out and it didn't. And Joe won this thing fair and square. And he gets to call himself the better athlete here at WIP. All right, back to your phone calls. And when you call in, we will throw a matchup at you. We're doing the football guy region. March, man, this is underway. I don't care about the basketball. I'm talking about the bracket of Hughes. It starts today. We're in the football guy region. You picked the winner. We also have a voting up at the main page WIP's Twitter. You could vote there in each of our first round matchups for today. All right, back to that in a second, but you let's react to what happened yesterday. You know, the Eagles don't want to give WIP all the shine. They want to take away some of the headlines, so away from Joe to Cameron and Jack for it. So yesterday, here, the Eagles made a really, I would call interesting trade to acquire Andy Dalton, who yes, is stolen the league. Yeah, he's been the league a long time now, but a backup, kind of half a starter for a little bit when the Panthers bench priced down a couple years ago, but mostly a backup for a while now. Then this part of his career, he was with the Bengals for years and they had a lot of success. And then he transitioned back up and he's been with the Bears and the Saints

and the Panthers for a while. So the Eagles send a seventh round pick to the Carolina Panthers yesterday to bring in Andy Dalton. Now, here on the surface, it's like, all right, whatever, seventh round pick, but you kind of think about what it means. And it's interesting for two reasons. One, he's salary isn't a lot, but it's a lot for a third stringer. It just doesn't fit what you usually pay a third string quarterback, because they still have Tanner McKee right now. So my first thought was the Eagles are preparing to trade Tanner McKee and they want another veteran to kind of hold the fort as the backup here. What did you think when you saw Andy Dalton to the Eagles for a seventh rounder? Allow me to unpack this a little bit because I have to explain this because I guarantee you that when I'm going to say it, nobody's going to understand what coming from. They're going to get all in their fillers and they're going to be like, oh my gosh. I feel like it's a better and you know what, to be fair, I know most people are going here when I'm saying they're just going to do whatever they do, whatever. But my first thought was this is not a skill set, like Andy Dalton and Jaylen Hertz don't have the same skill set. They don't.

And we are implementing a new offense, right? We have a new offense coordinator. There's a lot of newness that comes with this team. And I've always said that, you know, with the AJ Brown situation that, you know, there was some trepidation with the quarterback and all of this other stuff. I feel like if this doesn't go the way that they think it will go or if this offense is implemented or Jaylen can't pick it up, that is their way of he's kind of like a stopgap. Because when you talk about Tanner McKee, we talk about how well he's played in certain spurts and everything like that. He's a viable backup. Now I know that he's in position to get a new contract and everything like that. So, you know, he's probably not going to be here. But when I first thought Andy Dalton, when I heard Andy Dalton's name and I heard he was going to be here, there's a lot of newness with this team. And there's a lot of uncertainty with this team. And my thought was, well, you know, Jaylen has to be on this game because it's the potential

for there to be transitioned there. So like when you saw the deal, you thought more about Jaylen and the offense, like, I'm just trying, I think it's interesting what you're saying. Do you think there's a chance that Dalton would play real games next year or just to kind of press your on Jaylen? Well, it all depends on how Jaylen picks up this offense. Because we, I believe like in all of this people is, is me recklessly speculating because I don't know what this offense is. I don't know what it's going to be, but we all have a feeling about how it's going to run. And we've all said that you understand our stuff. Yeah. And we've all said that you can get anybody to run this offense. And we've all noted that Jaylen really doesn't like to be on the center a whole lot. Andy Dalton does. So you, you look at all that and then part of me is the competitive spirit. When you see somebody that has come, comes in that has played in this league, has had somewhat success in this. Oh, yeah. I would say when he was drafted a six year run, where he was a solid quarterback. Yeah. Yeah. Not saying he's better than Jaylen people. So, so please listen to that part. But he's, he's a viable, he's a viable option at this point,

especially if this offense is not running the way that the offense coordinator sees it running. Yeah. I, so I'll be honest, I didn't think much about the Jaylen effect. I thought about the Tanner effect when I saw it. And I, I just think it's setting them up to trade Tanner. If they're going to trade Tanner McKee, this is the off season. He's a free agent after the season. So the only way they're going to give value for Tanner is to trade him right now before this particular draft. Yeah, that might be it too. And I just, when I think of the quarterback room they have right now is Jaylen one, Tanner two, Andy three. I think it makes more sense just the way most teams do with the way the Eagles do with money and draft picks to have it. Jaylen one, Andy two, and then a developmental quarterback three. Now where they take that next quarterback in this draft, and I think they're going to take one will be a big thing, right? If they take him in the second round, that's a bigger story than the sixth round. But if I had a guess, they're going to take a quarterback, either in the third or fourth round or somewhere in that range this year and put him as the third quarterback and just let him just just go work on work on things. See if you could become something in this new system. Meanwhile, Jaylen's the one and Andy's there break glass in

case of emergency. Jaylen gets hurt or something happens. Andy Dalton could play a couple games and you could you could survive. I mean, he's played a lot of football. Yeah, but the thing that jumped out to me is number one, new offense, which we don't know what it is. Quarterback would have completely different skillset than the starting quarterback. And you know, that's the thing, that was the first thing that I thought, because we don't know what this offense is and we've all heard that it might be something where, you know, it's more in the center and it's going to be more of, of not, not game manager, but somebody to get the ball out on time. Yeah, I envision Niners Packers title stuff, you know, throw goes over the middle through a timing throws. Yeah. So that's, that's what I envision. I didn't look at it as much in terms of his skill set. I think there's an element to if you do need him to come in for a game, you feel okay. Just because he's been around, he's seen a lot of different systems and played a lot of football. So you have that. I also thought probably gearing up to one draft, a quarterback, two deal, Tanner McKee.

But the only thing I thought of relative to Jaylen was, think about it. Dalton's going to be 39 this year. Yep. Yep. He almost becomes one of the, the manion men. Like they are installing a new offense. And he Dalton's been seen a bunch of different offenses. And he like, he's, his skill set at this point is being able to pick up an offense quickly. So isn't he kind of also here to help Jaylen pick up this new offense? Kind of reminds me of Josh McCowns. Maybe Josh McCown will question. Well, half a coach, but the fact still remains that if Jaylen can't, say if Jaylen can't pick it up because you, you, for me, it's, it's more of what's been said over the last couple of months. And I just okay, marry it to what just happened. Yeah. Jaylen, there was some thought, there was some conversation that Jaylen is not, he doesn't like being on the center. He doesn't like, well, he likes the offense the way that he likes the offense. Well, I think it's fair to think he prefers shotgun because that's what they've done primarily for his whole career. So like, so now you, you got, I'm sorry, Kyle, but you got to,

you got a new offense coming in and you have a philosophy that you want to implement. Yeah. And this is a guy that could either, to your point, help Jaylen out, or if Jaylen can't pick it up, he can take over. I don't. So that's where you lose. Well, we're screwed. Yeah. I don't play that in a serious role. I don't, I don't see a scenario where Andy Dalton takes over. Like no matter what, but then the Eagles are in trouble. If they do go into the season with Jaylen, rookie QB, Andy Dalton, I think, I mean, the rookie would obviously be drafted because Manian and Sierra and I like him. I think if, if we do, God forbid, get to a scenario where we have to, we have to bench Jaylen and we're late in the season. This thing's not working. We're not going to make the playoffs. Whatever. I think you go to the rookie 2020. And I'm not, I'm not trying to make everyone feel like, oh, we're heading to 2020. But in 2020, once was one, was it sub fell to? Jaylen was three to start the year. He wasn't even active the first couple of games. If I memory serves, then they started putting him in as like the wildcat nonsense that he did. And then eventually, eventually the, the, the worm turned right

and Jaylen just became the quarterback by the end of the season. So Dalton's role is probably more coach-ish, but also if the team does find itself as suitable contenders, then he's that perfect veteran to fill in if you need him for a game or two to maybe, maybe win you a game and keep you afloat. Yeah. I just, the only thing I will say on it is it doesn't make sense to have Tanner and Andy. It just feels like a weird quarterback room. Like, why would you try to pick for any Dalton to be your third string quarterback and not be active on game day? That's why I think Tanner is, I think they're about to trade Tanner McKee, whether it be today, tomorrow, draft night. I think that's where we're going here. Two one five five nine two ninety four nine four. Are you a reaction to the Andy Dalton trade, which kind of caught us out of nowhere? Joe verse, Jack, do you want to apologize to Joe? Do you want to say it's hold yourself for picking Joe at this whole time? And we will throw it to you a matchup on the bracket of few Douglass's the madness has begun. Let's go to Mario and Northeast Philly. What's up, Mario? Hey, what's going on, fellas? How y'all doing? Mario, what's up, buddy? Man, I'm hot about that game. I don't even know why I'm mad, man. I think I'm just bad because of

the effort that the fritz put up there. The lack of man, it was he didn't contest anything. And it was just disappointing. The same combination to just stay home. It's right. And then I'm going to never pick up at the while. He, Ellie fitness ain't picking him up. Ain't nobody picking him up. Maybe the elephant. Nobody. He'll remind me of facing the bullet like you can't even ride in the front. He's no more with me. And you're your disgrace. You know, like, and I felt bad for Ike. I really believe that I know. Yeah. Mary, I felt the same way. I think the person I felt bet the worst for was Ike. You just felt the emotion. And he just, he was drained at the end. He really was. Great. And then the response at the end was such a winy response to me. Like, that's what made me mad too. Just like, oh, I guess this is part of my life and just supporting people. I'm like, come on, man. And it's just like, that was bad. And the question I want to ask y'all just as men, just real quick. And I don't mean no disrespect. But in this situation, mess up like a relationship with lady. She look at you different, even though

whether like, oh, no, I think they're okay, Mario. He's been a jackspin with this. Yeah, then him. It's just in general when like, they're in the situation like that. We're hearing that so much from people. Like, does it like this? He started looking at you look different sometimes, like, depending on the woman, I guess. So I'll let you answer for in general. I think that the two, I think the, I think the, I know the people we're talking about. They're going to be just fine. I don't worry about that. That's good. That's good. That's good. All right, Mary, what do you go? You ready for a matchup of Hugh Douglas's? Let's throw. No, here we go. We have the seven-seed Mario blind faith Hugh against the ten-seed me guy Douglas. Who do you like in this matchup? I like the blind faith Hugh. Blind faith? I know what that's coming from. That's the whole AJ thing. Yeah, well, it's a lot. We hear it a lot. Mario, a great phone call. We hear a lot of blind faith. I gotta, I gotta fill in. I gotta fill in. This is what they call a long tea. That, I'm gonna probably eat a little crore today because you, you was in here. You,

you and Kyle been, y'all been kind of, it's been a whole lot of conversation that I haven't been privy to today. What are you talking about? I'm just saying. It just feels like y'all got something up y'all sleep. You mean, AJ stuff? I feel like y'all got something up y'all sleep. We do have a quarter on AJ talk. We haven't got two yet. Yeah, I know you don't count. I know you don't know. I'm talking. Yeah. I got caught that because y'all came in here, peak cocking a little bit. Yeah. I gotta fill in. Do you know what I'm feeling? I'm feeling Douglas ready to take a big ol' L on AJ Brown. All right, we'll get to that coming up. Here's what we're gonna do. Let's take a phone call and then I want to let you hear, you know, so we brought up the anti-don't trade, right? And what it means for the Eagles. So the guys out in Cleveland yesterday, they got wind of it and they started spinning it to the browns and could the browns get tan and Mickey, but then it turned into a whole thing where you got house over there fighting with each other. It's it is gold. We'll get to that coming up in a second. Chris, though, and King of Prost is up on WIP. Hey, Chris. Hey, Chris. I think the most significant thing from yesterday's game or whatever you want to call that thing that they did was was what it says about

the Eagles. Oh, I like this. So what do you think about what did make you think about the Eagles? What we learned is just how important coaching and scheming it. Jack first, Jack first, Joe, made him think about the Eagles coaching. Let him go. We're gonna be reminded of how much we're gonna miss Outland, but we're gonna definitely learn how much we're gonna like, have in an offense that actually key scheme. Joe, like, Joe, the camera did. And Joe did scheme, Chris. He's scheme the whole thing up. So creativity, smarts. It matters a lot. Was what you're saying? Exactly. And Andy Dalton trade, cunning and wisdom and experience, which is what one yesterday? It did. Yeah. I wouldn't. Yeah. I like that cunning. Joe was cunning. I think he baited Jack. He baited Spike. He baited I. He baited a lot of people. And I didn't I didn't feel the right. I didn't see it the right way. Kudos to Joe. What a game for him.

All right, Chris. Are you ready for a match up of Hugh Douglas's in our bracket? Can't wait. All right, Chris. Let's hit you with this. The number four seed. Fries in the bag, Douglas. What's the prize in the bag? Against number 13, Downer Douglas. When we're all excited about something like yesterday, Bryce Harper's home run, and he's like, yay, still a loser. Who do you like? Fries in the bag or Downer Douglas? A prize in the bag is good, but this is an upset. Whoa. Downer Douglas. Downer Douglas says Chris is taking a brush. All right. Well, hold on. Chris, great. Right phone call. Let's take a deep breath. We have two. We have two feet. Wait, we have two vehicles to which the winner will be chosen. Right? It is a combination of the listener vote, which we're going through right now. And we appreciate everyone's calls and votes. It's also the Twitter vote that is going on too. So we will weigh them and we'll see where it goes. But the prize in the bag is down at the half. Fries in the bag is down. That's it. We're on upset alert. I mean, that is a big vote. Hugh, what do you think of that? Fries in the bag down early? Yeah. That's pretty impressive,

man. That's pretty impressive. I had them in my final four. Oh, wow. Yeah. This might be a bracket buster. It's certainly feels like it might be a bracket buster. Yeah. This is one that could take people out of their Hugh Douglas pools, which I imagine everyone at work is printing out their Hugh Douglas brackets and doing pools. I could just see it now. Yeah. Did you print your Hugh bracket out of your bracket of views? Yeah. What are you talking about? All right. So the ending of the trade, Eagles acquiring an adult yesterday for a seventh round pick. And we're recklessly speculating with the Eagles. I think it's, I think Tannin McKee is about to be out of here through trade. And now don't want to be on number two quarter back this year. Hugh thinks it adds a little pressure to the play that Jaylen hurts to pick up this offense. Let's hear what they talked about out in Cleveland. First, when the news broke yesterday, they're afternoon show throughout a hypothetical, which I wasn't ready for. But let's listen to these guys. Would you rather a fifth round pick for Tannin McKee? Did you record the sixth pick for Jaylen Hertz? Oh, what? Which one would you rather do? I don't get the question. Would you rather trade a fifth round pick for Tannin McKee? Or the sixth pick overall for Jaylen Hertz? Oh, the sixth pick overall.

I think I'm in the sixth round pick. I said, what are you doing to yourself? Yeah, you six overall and you get Jaylen Hertz. It's still not even a question. I think it might be a question for some people to think Jaylen Hertz staying. I think it's a question for people in Philadelphia. Listen, do I think Jaylen Hertz is the greatest quarterback I've ever seen? No, I don't. Do I think he does come with some limitations? Yes, I do. Do I think your big board last year that had him as what the fifth best quarterback in the sport is wrong? Yes, I do. I'd love to see the updated version. Well, it's not the fifth best quarterback in the NFL now. He didn't just win the Super Bowl. All right. Well, when you made the list, that's what he was, right? Yeah. He was fifth best. After winning the Super Bowl. I think he's probably like around. I don't know. Anywhere from nine to 12 somewhere in that range. It's a respectable range. I give up the number six overall pick for Jaylen Hertz. I don't even think that's a hot take. All right. That's pretty interesting. Well, all right. Well, I think they're actually underrating how much they would cost for Tanner. I think Tanner costs more than a fifth. I think Tanner's closer to a fourth round pick. We would get than a fifth, but whatever. They threw that out there. So, you know, they're reacting to the trade and kind of spinning it their way. That's not

the craziest conversation they had. But what I enjoyed was that was yesterday afternoon. I heard their morning show host this morning, Ken Carmen, losing his mind over his colleagues and their conversation yesterday. Why the hell would you put Tanner McKee on the trade block? Apparently, quote unquote, if you were going to start him over, Jaylen Hertz, who somehow we would give up a six overall. This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in the history of the station. You didn't hear what I thought. I ain't yelling at you, young man. I ain't yelling at you. This is dumb. This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. And he knows it. That's why he's hiding because he's laughing at me because he knows I've lost my mind over this of all the stupid things that have been said on these airwaves in 14 years. This is easily the most recent. I still love you less. Second of all, it's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. We have lost our mind. We have, we have literally taken the bottom lid and wrapped it over our heads now and we are suffocating for air. This is dumb. Guys, this is stupid. Do you hear what's coming out of our mouths?

I think I've ever seen you this mad because I can't stand the stupidity. I can't do it. The six overall for Jaylen Hertz from a team that was going to quote unquote start Tanner and be key over him and the reason to do it is because he's better than Johnny Mansell because he's better than Charlie Fry. Yeah, he hot. Well, it sure is. When I heard that, they mean the sixth overall picking the number six pick in the draft. Man, they are desperate for a quarterback. Yes, they're the browns. I mean, they're the browns. I don't even think Cleveland would do that. That's what I'm saying. That was my thought. Like, I like Jaylen and Jaylen's one two-minute two Super Bowl. I think Cleveland might do it. Take Jaylen for a six-over-round pick. Six-over-all pick. Oh, that's what I mean. The number six pick. I don't think so. I don't think they would, Jaylen. I mean, I wouldn't. I mean, that's a lot for Jaylen. And hold on. You don't think the browns would trade the sixth pick in the draft for Jaylen. No, I do. They have nothing.

What would they need Jaylen for? Jaylen is not the quarterback that's going to drive. How many more wins they have with Jaylen and QB? But if we don't think we can get a one first round, I know it's very high, but one first draft pick for Jaylen, then what are we doing at the quarterback? Hold on, one first round is different from the six-over-all pick, guys. Yeah, that's a lot different. Yeah, but you okay. It's because we know what the pick is. When you trade multiple first rounders in the future, you have no idea what the picks are. Right. They could be the 20th pick, 30th, 31st. They could be the 15th. They could be the 10th. You don't know. I think Jaylen, trading for Jaylen is what you do if you think you are a team that's one serviceable QB away. Kind of like, like, uh, with the staffer, right? Yeah. The rounds are going to trade for Jaylen and build around him. Well, you need that pick. All right. Listen, I'm not, I think both teams it wouldn't make any sense for. I'm kind of with you on that. I don't think, I don't know why the Browns would trade a high pick for a quarterback at this stage. Also, if you're the Eagles, the six pick in this particular draft isn't, isn't worth trading away, Jaylen. It hurts. I mean, it's a silly hypothetical. I just love how they reacted.

I mean, the morning shows. He lost his mind over it. Yeah, that was a lot. That's a lot when you think about it. I mean, you know, when you talk about what the Browns need, what's the name? Big creepy coming back this year too. Oh, he's cooked. No, but he, you know, he's, he's gonna, they're gonna let him get another bite of that because if I'm not mistaken, another bite at the Dishoned Watson apple. I think he's the, I think he, they did not name Shadour as the starter. Oh, he can't play either. Well, he went to the probo. I know that. Kew, Kew, Kew, Kew. No. We're not doing this today. You know what the funny thing about you and Kyle, before I even get a chance to say anything after that, y'all just, what would that like? Well, because they should, I mean, you know what you were doing with the Shadour. Yes, I do know what I was doing with that. Y'all didn't let me fit you. No one here. You didn't let me breathe. He's like seven touchdowns, 11 picks. Come on. You need to let it breathe though. Because we can't, we can't, we can't. Two one five five nine two ninety four, ninety four. All right. Your phone calls here, Joe verse, Jack, your reaction. What happened yesterday? I apologize to you, Joe, to camera. I underestimated him. He is the champion. I think

a lot of people owe Joe an apology today. Or maybe nights hold yourself. You saw it the way it you thought it would go. All right. Your phone calls on all that. The Andy Dalton trade. What do you think it signals for the Philadelphia Eagles? Plus the bracket of Hughes. We continue in the football guy region. We'll throw a match of you. You get to vote on who should move on plus. A couple of tough looks for the afternoon show yesterday. At the end of Joe verse, Jack, it's all coming up midday show sports radio 94 WIP. Too fast. It's the right spirit though. Especially after the underdog one at last night. Welcome back. Yeah. It's a midday show. Hugh Douglas. Joe, Jill, you guys with us, 215, 592, ninety four, ninety four. Perhaps some upsets in the bracket of Hughes. The football guy region continues at noon. The radio guy region will start your votes count. Twitter votes. And of course, you're on the phone lines. You vote. And we take into account to move on teams. Kyle's already upset that we might have a big upset. Fries in the bag down at the half. With the fries and downer. Douglas. All right. We'll get to all that. Your phone calls.

And of course, the Andy Dalton trade, which kind of came out of nowhere yesterday with the Eagles. I think it means the 10 over key trade is to come. Hugh Douglas thinks a little pressure on Jailin to pick up this offense. Your reaction to that. Plus Joe Vershack. Do you want to apologize to Joe to camera? Say I told you so. 215, 592, nine four, nine four. But before we go back to the phones, some tough looks yesterday last evening for the afternoon show. We're starting with this. If you're watching on YouTube, and by the way, what a YouTube audience last night for the event, 20,000. Yeah, I heard it was a nice turnout man. Concurrent viewers. That's pretty, but nobody cares, you know, except 20,000 people wanted to take time at their night to watch this stuff. It was awesome. Nobody cares. Great job by everyone there. And obviously our visual team to put it together. And I was able to watch it. I was actually watching with my son who's 11. He was giggling, laughing as we watched this at these two guys playing basketball. So he loved it. But I, you know, certain things stand out when you watch a game versus when you attend a game. I always think that like what an Eagles game. You see, you see the whole thing, right? And I saw something last night when I watched this. So what you see? Well, Joe hits the shot, right? Joe hits the shot to win. And I think a lot of the eyes go to Joe, the celebration,

my eye kind of caught something under the basket. And if you're watching on YouTube now, you could see with us, you'll hear it as well on the air. It was the reaction of Icrease. As well, it was I compared it earlier. The disappointed day. When the Eagles beat the bears in the 2018 wild card game. And it was a double joint game. We're, you know, Ricky Riccardo has the famous call. You, you see when the double joint happens, the bear's mascot just collapses. And last night, we watched Icrease collapse just like the bear's mascot. Here it was last night as Joe hit the game winner. Just going to try to back him down a little bit. There it is for the win. What a sensational victory for Joe DeCamera as he makes his fifth two-pointer. He's being hugged by his entourage. Joe DeCamera. Here, the reaction of Ike just falling to the ground is so good. Yeah, that hurt. I saw him a dog man when he fell. I was like, dang, I felt that because I

liked super competitive, right? And I felt for him in that moment. But now I'm not so much knowing that they put a lot of pressure on that polo baby to go out there and play polo baby in the first place. 32-year-old man. No, you know, I, because I remember, like, you know, my daughter would be playing in her grandfather, be yelling at her, get in the pain, get in the blog and she would be like, oh, she would be mad about it. So yeah, that's what it was. He put pressure on him. He didn't want to do that. He even want no parts of this. Well, that's probably true. And y'all made him do it. Bad mommy spike. Bad mommy. That was crazy. The more I watched the Ike thing, there was a crouch, right? And then I think the weight of what just happened hit him and he just, he just falls over. You know, I've been there before. Like, that's a feeling that I can, like, I can almost empathize with Ike that I've felt that many a time watching Philly sports. You know what it was? It was almost like a game-winning field goal goes against you and you watch like, oh, you kind of, know, it's coming. Like, I mean, let's be honest. I knew that if you hit that shot before, like, it was up, it was, yeah, that's what that's what the two, you know, Kyle, that's what surprises me.

Because I exist smart, man, right? You know who you know who you got going up again. You know who's in this thing, right? And I guess I just was hoping for the best. Well, but Ike is a smart guy, but he's also loyal, right? I mean, he, well, I mean, here, you, we do the pre-game shows with Ike before the game, right? The home pre-games? Yeah. Even if the Eagles are struggling by the time, yeah, but the time we get to 12 45 before one o'clock game, what is Ike's about to say? Oh, yeah, he about to say, go, go bird. He's going to say they're going to blow him out, right? He gets him and I think that's what happened. I think deep down he knew there were some flaws on his side with Jack, but he's his guy. He's going to stay loyal. All right. The other tough look for the afternoon show was Joe, I suppose Jack, after the game, was this the shot at Joey Crawford that I wasn't expecting? This was pretty wild stuff from Jack Fritz after the game. Let's talk about it. So Joey Crawford allowing him to go over with the towel, the, the, the foul that you didn't seem to agree with. The offensive foul, the Joey Crawford called there in the paint your thoughts on it. Well, I mean, I would never accuse this of being an oh one Lakers versus King's kind of thing. Oh, too. Whatever.

But, but I mean, first off, the ball went off his freaking leg over there, which was ridiculous. And off of course, he took a charge in this. I was going to, are all Delco rush the same in your opinion? Hold on. I'm not accusing anyone of anything, but we all know Delco has a reputation now. Joey's great is really good dude. I didn't agree with, first off, the ball went off his leg. If there's replay review, I want that. Allowing him to take four time outs just to get the ball back was insane. I played fair play by the rules. Him taking a charge with the least surprise and thing of all time is what it is. Shots at Joey Crawford. Yeah, he did take a shot. I mean, he caught, I mean, if this was the NBA silver would be hitting Fritz with the fine today. I mean, he took a public shot at Joey Crawford. Yeah, that ain't cool. Also, how about Buzz? Just, you know, the guys having a tough night and, and just corrects him on what year the King's got screwed by the very buzz. It's very buzz. But you know, Buzz is like one of those historian dudes, and if you're not coming with the correct facts, then you're going, yeah, he going, yeah, he's going to get you.

Buzz is declared. All right, let's go to the phone lines here. Rex in DC is up here on WIP. Hey, Rex, who was outfellas. Hey, Rex. Look, I do all the apology to the camera. And also Jack an apology. I was one of those 20,000 people on YouTube looking at that nonsense where he didn't de-up at all. He's playing 10 foot away from him. Like he's de-ing up white chocolate. What's up with that? Yeah, I mean, he knows it. Here's the thing, Rex. And I kind of understood the strategy to start, right? Let's, let's see if Joe can hit a shot. And then if he can't, I'll just get all these long rebounds. I'll give him a little space, you know, kind of make him take long jumpers. But Rex, once the guy shows you, he can make a long jumper. You got to get a hand up. Yeah, you got it. You got to answer that. Kyle, I'm so disappointed. He's soft as duck butter. But, you know, I just can't I didn't play. How Kyle can I? I don't think Kyle. That's the second time you did that by the way. That's that's twice. Get it on the phone with me. Apology. I owe you a new ball. One more time, buddy. I got one more time.

But yeah, you know, Jack's jack's soft as duck butter. My bad, Kyle. And it's disappointing. And that's all I got to say about that. But I do want to thank you guys for it, for the tickets, for the billbearer that's coming up. So I do have that. Oh, that is awesome. That's right. You want him. Well, I'm excited for you, Rex. Aren't Rex happy for you? Are you ready for a matchup in the bracket of Hughes? Let's do it. Let's do it. All right. Well, you know, it's always a big deal. They usually wait. They stagger these to tip off the number one seed because that's when they get the biggest viewers. And we're tipping off the number one seed right now. Rex, the number one seed in the football guy region told you so Douglas against the 16 seed tin foil hat, Hugh. Rex, which team should move on? Oh, that's a walk in the park. Told you so Douglas. That's right, Rex. Good, good stuff. I don't think that's a sacrificial land. That's what these 16s tend to be in a lot of these games. Let's go to cowboy Jim, who was in attendance last night as part of the entourage for Jack for its cowboy Jim. First of all, it was an honor to be part of the

entourage. You know, a cowboy fan, the lion's den, you know, nothing like what an evening it was. But first of all, being part of the entourage, you know, Jack for its fans to witness that, the person who enjoyed it the most was probably BAM. We all wish we were a BAM that night. Hold up, hold up. BAM is legally blind though. That's the point. I think we wish we couldn't say what we wish we couldn't see it. It'd be better if we were just listening to zoom off and not watching it. Blood it, co-blood it. Many, many sad things last night. First of all, the midday show, no representation. Oh, no. I mean, first of all, have you seen gas prices? Are you really, are you really calling it? Okay. And parking prices. Yeah, I got a part of that big ass truck. Man, I just expect it. Listen to you. Listen, although there was a, there was a young kid there who was getting autographs on his football. He got Igris. He got John Ritchie. And he got Hugh Douglas. Only to realize later, it was OG Wade that signed his football. I can see that.

But you know the difference between me and OG Wade is OG, OG like he pregnant. He's like pregnant. I am. I am pregnant. Yeah, he looks pretty pregnant. Sorry. So cowboy gyms, couple of things. One, we, we, my excuses, we found out the event just a couple of weeks ago, had a previous obligation. So I couldn't make it. Second, much, cowboy gym. I like to go to Eagle, I like to watch Eagles games on TV so I could talk about them in a different way. I need to hear the broadcast. I need to see it. I need to go back and watch the replay. I was locked in. Yeah, you need to be locked in a little bit. No, I mean, I, I, I experiencing an event live is awesome. But to do this job, I feel like I do it better if I watch it on TV. So I, I took my job seriously last night. Disappointment filled that gymnasium like a Dallas cowboy, preferably. That's crazy. Listen, that desperation is energy Eagles as they sign Andy Dalton. Right. No faith in your quarterback, your coach and offensive coordinator. You need an old man like Dalton to fix your offense like I agree. Coaching jet. Well, that didn't work last night. All right, Jim. Are you ready for a matchup in the bracket of heath? All right, here we go. The five seed blue jeans. Hue

against the 12 seed victim Douglas blue jeans or victim. Who moves on? Victim Douglas. Oh, the classic 12 verse five upset. All right, Jim. Victim Douglas. Taking down blue jeans favoring blue jeans. What do you think with this bracket so far? This region, the football guy. So the one, I would say the one big upset brewing is downer Douglas over fries in the back. A lot of people I know had, they put it out their bracket. They filled it out. They had fries in the bag going a long way. And you fries in the bag is down at the half. It's a big story. It's not doing well right now. But they, and you know what? We still have time. You know, we still have the online boat that's coming in and people can do that. So yes, still a little bit of time. Yes, we do. We'd still have that. All right, so we have one more matchup that we haven't heard yet. We'll get to that coming up here in a second. Let's go to Andy in Westchester up on WIP. Good morning, gentlemen. Good morning, Andy. How you doing? I'm good. Well, it's a dark day in Philadelphia. I haven't called in a while because there hasn't

been a whole lot of sports I was interested in talking about. I'm looking forward to today. And discuss it with Jack's performance. He did not do Westchester well. But here we are. Now, Andy, here's the question. Are you surprised at what happened last time? Because I thought Jack would win, but I can't sit here and say I'm shocked. And we all kind of felt this was possible. No, we felt it was possible. I actually thought that Joe was going to win just because he's a weasel. And I know we would weasel his way into it somehow. The whole thing with the towel you guys brought up driving me not. I just I couldn't do it. And I couldn't, you know, I wouldn't be able to deal with that either if I was Jack. I would get annoyed on the floor and then start to play like crap and, you know, want to punch him. WIP would be slapped you. Flabby lips. But, uh, yeah. And the column and athlete is such a joke. Well, I mean, here's the thing. So I you're right, Andy. It does feel like a joke to call

Joe to camera a great athlete today. But this started with Joe saying on his show that he's a better athlete than Jack. And this is the forum we used to prove who was the better athlete. I mean, what am I supposed to say today other than Joe's the better athlete? I understand that it's part of the bit, but it's just frustrating here. People say that because he drives me nuts. Well, and when you watch him, you don't feel athleticism. I felt more skill and and cleverness at it, Joe. I didn't feel athletic. Yeah, exactly. Like going for the towel thing, like he should have been forced to take a time out there. It's a joke. The whole thing was rigged. And honestly, you I'm sorry to say, but I blame Mike because he was coaching him and they said before the game, he's like, we're not going to defend the jump shot. And then oh, really? Yeah. Oh, so that's what it was. Okay. Oh my goodness. Then the coaching failed. Jack. Well, where were the adjustments? Well, Ike was trying. He would, you know, I didn't see Spike on the screen as much as I saw. I was getting in there. You know, X is an O stuff and pumping him up. I don't know where Spike was during the timeouts there. Andy, Andy, are you ready for your matchup in the bracket of Hughes?

I absolutely am ready. All right. Here we go. The three seed. We hear now you against the number 14 seed fat back Douglas. Who do you like? We hear and we hear now you. We hear now. We hear now. We hear now. All right. We hear now. That one, I think, was a pretty easy one. So we, I think we'll see where the voting goes on Twitter. But we're probably going to say goodbye early to fat back Douglas. Andy, we have a fun one. It was a fun one. All right. So just as I look at the the football guy region here, Hugh, told you so. Excuse maker. Now the victim and downer look like they might pull off big upsets. That feel, if we're getting upsets in this region, that might be the two. It feels like that's where we're going here. It feels like that is the spot for the upsets in the region of the football guy, Hugh Douglas. How much blame do you think I can spike deserve for the coaching of Jack Fritz? I didn't realize that yesterday telling him not to defend the jump shot. You have to adjust at some

point. Yeah. I think, you know, when you talk about it now, because there was a lot to unpack with this, you know, Rhea talked about how, you know, the pressure that they put on Jack to do all it is the fact that they that the camera kind of like, you know, he kind of steered the rules for his benefit. And if that was one of the things where you couldn't contest it, that's, yeah, that's a bad look. And then you're telling him to shish. That's a bad look. Because you're putting pressure on the kid, man, at that point. But Jack's, Jack's culpable in this as well. I mean, he's old enough to say, hey, man, back up off me. Let me, let me do my thing. But that's not Jack's personality. It's hell off the coach. I know it's not. I know it's not. But it feels like when it comes to Jack and some of the things that he wants to do is too many cooks in the kitchen. And you know, Jack doesn't have the personality that's going to tell them, you know, that's going to push back. You know, so if it's like that, then it's, you put him in, it puts him in a tough spot. But you know, you got to, at the end of the day, though, man, you got to have some spine. You got to have a little bit of spine when you're doing stuff. You got to tell people to leave alone or whatever,

man. You know, you, you have to stand on your own two feet at some point. The other thing I thought was impressive last night was to camera working in the crowd. And really, I think it was to give himself a breather. I mean, he, he, it was, I think it was out of shape. Yes, it was. He was being real strategic yesterday. Totally. It was showmanship. I think to those there. But as I viewed it, I saw right through it. I was like, this guy just needs a breather. Of course he did. Those were timeouts. Now, Jack's got a point on that. It was no shot clock. Well, there was no shot clock. Home should have negotiated for shock. And I didn't listen. This is not a criticism of Joey Crawford because he's a legend. But I did hear something in the pregame that made me think Joey was there more for the pomp and circumstance than to really blow the whistle. He, he was asked by buzz about being invited to this. And he was, he said something to the effect of, you know, when you're retired and someone invites you to something like this, you just go. Like he, I think Joey Crawford, so he just showed up for the free meal. Kind of. He showed up for the talk. But we had a hug. He's a something. Yeah. Happy to be there. Crawford last night. Yeah. He, he wasn't there to blow the whistle. We have some big Crawford. Is that a dark horse in the

in the Joey Crawford back? We have some minor Eagles news. Okay. We've got former Jeth tight end stone smart. We'll be signing with the Eagles. That's a matting. That's not a real guy. Stone smart. So how he's really loading up in the tight head. Stone smart. I mean, got to do what you got. There's got to be, there's got to be an odd man out with month, him, Calcutta, and well, God is not going to be the odd man out. Yeah. Yeah. Stone are, we'll find out the, the, the numbers on the contract for stone. Yeah. If you had said to me, is this a real player before you announced the news? That sounds fake. Stone smart. Our Eagles signed another tight end. Stone smart from the New York Jeth slick Rick in West Philly's up on WIP. Hey, slick Rick. He is Joey champs today, slick Rick. He earned it. He earned it. Yeah. He bought me some dollars, man. I had Joey all the way, man. Joey champs, what I call them, but check it out. You, you, my man, 100 grand, man. You know, we go back to New York.

You already know the story. I don't know the whole much. However, the streets are talking, man. Did you leak some information about your boy, AJ? So he's going to be stuck in Philly, man. Would you say now did I hear what? Did you leak some information? So AJ, going to get stuck in Philly. Ooh, I like this conspiracy. There's some information. Yeah. First of all, the streets are talking. We're investigating. Where am I going to leak anything? The streets. You know, people listen, man. And you know, you want AJ here just like, I know that I extremely disagree with you. But you know, if you put something out there, hold on anonymous, anonymous, allegedly, allegedly. I can't fully. Hold on. I got, I figured it out. He said I put the knee stuff out there. Yes. You, you leaked to the Rams that AJ has a bad knee, so they wouldn't trade for him. Wow. Who am I? I've been 3D printing for the last

This is Benedict Arnold. That's a convening alibi. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Crazy. You know what I believe slick, right? You know what slick, the information that they have about his knee, that's, that's, you know, every team knows that, especially if they're, if they're potentially thinking about, you know, trade from whatever, they have to send all those, those documents. You know what? That sounds like something that snitch would say. So we wouldn't get out of it. Yeah. Exactly what it is. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, you, you ain't a slitch. I'm just saying it. It's kind of conspiracy theory to make you like, you know, you like to be right. Come on, man. You know what? You know what? You know what? It's like, I ain't got a lot of you, right? Because I'm right here today when I come up in this. No, I don't know about that. Hey, check it out. I got a suggestion. What you got? Right? How about the fans have a competition for basketball? The callers, the callers,

like, like, like, BAM and some other people. I watched it. Watch it, watch it. Cowboy Jim and, and OG Wade played basketball against other, I, I would tune into that. Let her down there. Oh, yeah. Herb. Oh, yeah, herb. Yeah, we might, you know, now putting money on that would accept it. Yeah. So I have like a basketball competition with the callers that are interested and then have like a elimination or whatever. I think that would be competitive. I would be competitive. Now, do you think Mark Zumoff would agree to call that one? Or is that a bridge too far? You know what? That's too much. That's that's asking for too much. All right. Look at the hull of these people. Slick, Rick, were you ready for a matchup in the bracket of Hughes? Oh, absolutely. All right. You know what? We're going to get a second caller vote on this one because we need help. The four seed fries in the bag Douglas against number 13 seed down or Douglas. Who should move on? I don't know what that person was talking about. It was not a drink. They caught you this morning, man. It's definitely fine. We're in the bag. Are we going to tie anyway? There we go. There we go. Well, I was in the bag. All right. So what I

think that does is that ties the game in terms of the callers and now we'll let the Twitter vote kind of be the tie breaker on that one. Okay. All right. I think. Yeah. Because listen, we got through all the matchups, but I want to make sure Slick Rick got one in the in the football guy region coming up at noon. We're going to open up the radio guy region of the first round here and start to move some teams on based on your votes, based on the Twitter vote so far. That was a relief. You because let's be real. If Slick Rick voted for down or Douglas, that would have been it for fries in the bag. That would have been like a buzzer. He didn't go in. Yeah. That would have definitely been a knockout. All right. So we are tied. At least it feels like we're in a tie game late now with fries in the bag Douglas moving on or having a chance to move on in this tournament. So what do you, what do you make of those allegations in the street that you're throwing out in the streets that AJ might be hurt to keep him here? No. No. This is just me thinking like just taking all the information in and just go on my gut and that's what it is. Even though the four horsemen are their apocalypse there, they're going to get me on this. Yeah. Well, I think there's even more insiders now. It's like the Avengers are assembling because you're in trouble here on this. Yeah. Yeah. We'll see. We'll see. I mean,

we still got time as long as he's here. This is still alive. But the way you and Kyle were whispering around here. I don't feel so good about, you know what I mean? I don't, I don't feel so good about what y'all about to do. Y'all got something up y'all. This is a little paranoid from you. Yeah. Cause I know y'all cooking up some man. You see it slipping away. I mean, I think that's I see y'all cooking up some stuff. I see y'all. I see y'all. That doesn't sound like us. Oh, no. All the time. This is a serious show. We don't cook up anything. All right. 215-592-94-94. That's I have bored. That's what you call a tease in the radio industry. On the other side, AJ Brown, he recorded something for I think, I guess it's his agency did a little video around cerebral week. It just came out yesterday. He was asked, you Douglas, about his favorite cerebral memory. This should be an easy one for him. The guy's planning to cerebral for the Philadelphia Eagles. You'll hear AJ's response to this most memorable cerebral coming up on the other side. And another insider talking about the inevitability of an AJ Brown trade. Plus your votes. We open up the radio guy region of the bracket of Hughes. You're take on the Andy Dalton trade and

do you owe Joe to camera apology? I do. I did it. I'm sorry, Joe. I was wrong about your athletic ability. I was wrong about your chances to beat Jack. You are the winner. Jack Fritz did not win. Joe to camera did. You could react to it all with us. 215-592-94-94. The football guy region. We got ourselves the winners and the radio guy region opens up next. Smith Day shows sports radio 94 WIP. You know what this makes you think about, right? What's that? One shining hue. When we get there at the end, and we have the best moments of this tournament. That's going to be awesome. Well, that ball has been tipped. We are here now. We're here now, as you would say. Welcome back. We did now. It is the midday show as we put the finishing touches on the first round in the football guy region. And we start the radio guy region, which might be my favorite. There's so many good. I mean, there's all four regions are excellent this year. But the radio guy region voting will start this hour. 215-592-94-94. Back to your phone calls on your votes for Hughes, and of course, the camera and Fritz. What went down last night? The zoom off call,

Ike falling to camera in all of his glory. What did the American flag with Joe running around with the American flag? It could go over the top. Yeah, but did you expect anything else? I mean, that was the whole thing. You got to know it. You had to do it. What do you think? Jack 's reaction would have been, had he nailed a game winner? Wouldn't have been like Joe's. He probably would have been more subdued. Yeah, I think he would have had American flag around. Yeah, he probably leaned into the I'm above this thing. Yeah, yeah, he was probably glad it's over, you know, something like that. I was supposed to win. Yeah, I could see that. But he didn't. Unfortunately for him, he did not. I was wrong. Joe, I apologize. You get to be called the better athlete among the two of you here at WIP. Well, I mean, what else we supposed to say? I mean, I mean, you're right. I'm not, I'm not just doing that. I mean, the other thing. He won. He won. He won. And it's fair and square. I mean, Jack could call it Joey Crawford. All he wants. He got beat. I mean, that's the bottom line. All right. Speaking of calling people out, we've called out AJ Brown a lot here on WIP recently because it's so obvious to most of us that AJ does not want to be here. Now, we'll get to the latest this morning on ESPN. Well,

you should be what was said about AJ Brown in the trade market. But first, so I saw this video yesterday. And my, I said it to Kyle. I just said this guy. I mean, this guy is unbelievable. Now, for context, this was recorded during Super Bowl week when a lot of these, you know, this kind of stuff comes out and they do all sorts of content and all that. So AJ Brown recorded a video for creative artists agency around Super Bowl week. And he was asked a question about, you know, a Super Bowl memory that stands out to him. Here is what again, AJ Brown, two-time participant in Super Bowl, one-time winner for the Philadelphia Eagles. Here's what he said about Super Bowl memories. Some guys as AJ Brown, I'm here at CAA, sweet, answer some quick question for you all. A game that I'll never forget is Super Bowl against the New England Patriots and New York Giants. And Grano was a big Patriots fan and the helmet catch just sealed the game and I cried all night. All right. The advice that I will give myself,

it's just to be patient and to be present. So much is out of your control. Just continue to continue to play the game that you love because it will always be the game that you love. AJ Brown, a two-time participant in the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles, asked about a game he'll never forget and he mentions his Patriots losing to the Giants in 2008. He'll? Well, he'll. That's a lot, especially being a person that's played in the game but but and this is not making any excuse but I don't know the question that was asked to him because he framed the way it was framed the way it sounds like he was answering it was a childhood memory of the Super Bowl. It may be, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, but put me in that situation if I would have won the Super Bowl. Hell, my memory of playing in the Super Bowl. Last year. Like, my, like,

AJ caught two touchdown passes and two Super Bowl for the Eagles. Yeah. And for me, for me personally, that being, we didn't win the game but being in that game meant everything to me. You know what I mean? And and and to actually win it would have been another level of that. You know, so I find it interesting that as an athlete that you've played in two of them and in that moment that even if that is your memory as a child that that's the most memorable moment that you have in the Super Bowl is is on brand for AJ. It is. It is. I mean, so I can't, so Joe, with that being said, I can't be mad at him for being who he is because he is an anomaly when it comes to some of the things that he says, I, I'm not shocked. I'm really not shocked. I mean, it's wild though. Yeah. It's it's wild to think of that because I would venture to say if

you ask any young man that's played in the Super Bowl about a Super Bowl memory, it would probably be a memory of a, a significant play that they made. He won a Super Bowl for Eagles. He caught a touchdown in the championship. I'm not shocked. I'm not shocked. I mean, I, I thought it was going to be, you know, when I initially, you know, we were talking about it and I told you I didn't want to hear it. I didn't want to hear it. I want to, I want to have a natural reaction to it. It, it doesn't shock me. You know what I was thought of as I heard it when Sequan said two weeks ago on ESPN that he is a Patriots fan. Not was again, nobody cares where these guys who they were fans of as a kid, right? Like they weren't Eagles until they became Eagles. That's fine. Other than like a jihad Campbell grew up here. I don't care. I've never cared. Like that does matter. But he's an eagle now that still talks like he's a Patriots fan. He's remembering a moment of crying. I'm not going to lie. I have never in my life heard anybody glaze a team the way that he's glazed them. Like

seriously, I, all jokes aside, I've never like I, like I told you, when we talking in the breaks, I say, Hey, I was a raiders fan growing up and I, I want the way to silver and the black. But I ain't never heard nobody glaze a squad. That's a grown ass man. Like he's glazed the Patriots. Especially one that then moved on to become a professional and play in the league. They become a borderline hall of famer like and to have significant moments in this sport and in the Superbow. I've never heard it. I mean, I, I mean, but like I said, he's on brand. Again, I've never heard it either. I'm just thinking going to be here though. Beyond the AJ thing, I've never heard it from pro athlete. Like we know Bryce Harper grew up a Yankees fan. He's been open about that, right? Bryce Harper doesn't like wax poetic about his favorite memories watching the Yankees. He's moved on. He is a Corona. Who has played for two big league teams that now I will say this because I know a lot of people out there like, Oh, what are you, what are you saying now about AJ? And if he's going to be here, uh huh. If they moved on from him, I, I, I wouldn't be tripping. Whoa.

I mean, I still think he's going to be here. But that's a lot. Like I can imagine, like I, I consider myself for the most part evil, even keel. I, well, I consider myself even keel. Somebody else might not consider myself some of the people on this bracket would say different. But go ahead. But that's a lot to digest for anybody. You know what I mean? And I, and I'm, how I feel like how we has done a tremendous job of, of cultivating a culture. Well, the, the Eagles in general have done a tremendous job of cultivating a culture over there. That's all inclusive. And they try to work with people. The fact that, you know, we're bringing back coach Stoutlin and having him in the building of some capacity. I feel like when the Eagles talk about having a family atmosphere, they really try their best to cultivate that and, and, and, and keep it like that. I, you know, I'm not a part of that family, but I'm, I'm, you know, I'm a couple, you know, I'm Uncle Lawrence, you know, I've been a part of, you know, me, but anyway, to you. Yeah. But, but the point that I'm trying to make is after a while, and I know, you know,

he said it a while ago, and it just came out and everything. But after a while, I mean, you get, it's only so much you can take. Right. You know, it's only so, it's only so much glazing that you can, you can ignore. Yeah. I, I, it's, you know, the amount of glazing of the Patriots is discussed. It's so much. It's too much. We have more Eagles news. Okay. We got their signing. Running back, Damien Pierce. Oh, they don't know what they are against some office of weapons. Damien Pierce, at one point, was a legitimate player for the Texans. I feel like he didn't play as much last year. I'm not sure. I'm not sure if he's had injuries or what's happened in his career, but I was a two or three years ago. I feel like he got a good amount of run as a Texans running back. All right. So Damien Pierce heading to the Philadelphia Eagles feels like a third, fourth kind of running back. A guy that you bring in a camp will see what he does. Obviously, say quam one, tank bigs be two, but Damien Pierce, who at one point was a starting running back in the lead, being signed by the Philadelphia Eagles. All right. So we can react to all that. The AJ things, just, I think it's a good way for him to hear. Not surprising, but just come on, dude. I mean,

that's enough of the Patriots fandom. Let's go up. Now ESPN this morning, Jeff Darlington, who's not one of the four horsemen, but we know his name from NFL reporting. Can we hear Darlington on ESPN this morning talking about where the AJ sweepstakes is now and where it could be going in the next few months? Well, we learned actually Matt that it is exactly where we've expected it to be all along. This just validates what we've already kind of felt about Jalen Waddle and about AJ Brown and that trade, which by the way is more about when not if I still anticipate AJ Brown getting moved out of Philly, do not mistake the silence that we currently are feeling around AJ Brown for being in difference or lack of activity. Eventually, after June 1st, I still think this happens. The Jalen Waddle situation only validates that further. By the way, we looked toward teams that could potentially trade for AJ Brown. The Patriots are the perfect fit in his former coach in Tennessee and Mike Vrable being there and the compensation almost exact

guys, the Patriots hold the 31st pick overall and the 95th pick overall. The Broncos getting Jalen Waddle had to give up the 30th and 94th. So it's almost apples to apples in terms of the trade comp. I really think that this does feel like a very natural progression this all season. Couple of lines there from Darlington really hit. Do not mistake silence for indifference. I like that line. And then that's pretty poetic. How about the when not if that hit too. It's a matter of when not if you your updated thought on the AJ. Oh, I'm still thinking he's going to be here when not if though. I think he's still going to be here. I think you know, you're doing your mistaking silence for indifference. Can you stop? That was poignant. What do you say was poignant? But I am here. I'm still holding the line. Until it happens, I believe he's going to be here. Now, my faith has been shaken. Oh, well, that's it. That's a development with the development of him saying what he said. Because I cannot on I cannot understand. Being in the position that he was in. If you put it like this,

if you asked me today, what was my greatest memory of playing in the NFL? Well, if I just said, Hugh, what's your favorite Super Bowl memory? I would think it would be running out of the tunnel with your team in Jacksonville in the only two teams playing. And the unfortunate thing, and you know what else I would say is when the ball was being kicked off, the flashing lights and being a part of that, being a part of that, being one of only two teams in town that's playing, knowing that nobody. There's not a lot of people, I should say, that have experienced that in their lifetimes. To be a part of a fraternity of men, number one, that have played in the NFL, and even a smaller fraternity of men that have actually played in the Super Bowl, even though we didn't win it. That to me is a huge accomplishment, especially when you talk about coming from where I came from, you know, small school, man's fiddle howl, all of that, all of that. And to talk about somebody else's moment, that's on brand for him.

I think your response is normal one. That's what I would expect almost anyone that played in his football to say like the one I was part of, the entrance, the lights, like you're saying the kick or whatever. You know anything. And since we're here, you know what I remember? I just remember after that, after the NFC championship game, going through the city of Philadelphia, like I remember, like it was yesterday, you know, I don't remember a whole lot. And it was really, really cold, but how many people are out in the streets and how many people were excited about the fact that we were going to the Super Bowl. And then going to eat dinner with my teammates and our families. That's what I remember. I don't get it. And that's why to this day, I'm all of my teammates. We're on a group chat together and we still talk to this day. I don't understand that. And I'm not going to, you know, and I'm not going to vilify, I'm not going to, you know, kill him for being who he is. He's different, but he's that's on brand for AJ. Yeah, it's annoying. It's what it is. I mean, I'll just, I'll say it's annoying. I mean, and the past thing is infuriating. I, I, when you, because I didn't hear it, like I said,

we, we talked about, I told you I didn't want to hear it. I want to match, react to it naturally. That blows my mind. Enough. Enough is enough on the Patriots thing with AJ. All right, 215, 592, 949, we're back to the phone lines here. As we reacted to Joe first, Jack, the AJ stuff, Andy Dalton being traded to the Philadelphia Eagles yesterday. And the bracket of Hughes, it's time to open up the radio guy region. Bruce in DC is our pay. Bruce cow. Joe, you and the crew. What's going on? It's up, Bruce. All right. I want to get in a, a, the, the, the, the trade, the quarterback trade for Andy Dalton. Yeah, I like him. I like to call him Caratop, but I want to talk. Let me, let me, let me jump on this one, one is Jack thing first. Look, I mean, like many, I was very disappointed. I was definitely pulling hard for Jack. There was, I just said, I told myself, there's no way to help. He's going to lose it. Let alone lose it

the way he did. You know, I, and I refuse to apologize to Joe about the way I felt. And I don't think anybody needs to apologize because he's not, he's not a better athlete than, uh, than Jack is. Jack just lacked the heart. And he just, he just emotionally and mentally was not in the game. There's no way in the world. This guy ain't lose. I mean, he, he, he ran like, he had some issues on. And Jack just didn't play. He didn't, he didn't bring enough heart to the game. Uh, but as far as athletics, Jack, that's the bottom line today. Joe is not the better athlete. So I'm on, I'm on, I'm on. He, but he won. He's on ground. Can you say that right now? He'd be in three out of five athletic competitions. What are we supposed to do with that? No, I'm, well, I'm just talking about the basketball game. No, it was well, Jack didn't step up in it. If, if Jake only, Jake only had to do one thing. He has to step up at that three point line and

don't deny him the space. There's no way he blocked one of his shots. I know. He's consistently done there. He would have easily won that game. But Jack decided not to do it. And that's the bottom line today. It's a shame. Bruce, it really is a shame because we, we all saw what happened. And we could, the, the, the fix was so easy. Just get in his face and make him dribble around you. And Joe would have failed. We don't know. There you go. That's it. Because he didn't have to gas the dribble. That would have been it. That would have been it. That would have been it. But anyway, I'm not, I'm just going to leave that because I'm saved my ammunition for the, uh, the afternoon show. But let me get on to this whole thing about the, um, the trade with Canada. Yeah. Yeah. And now here's the thing, right? I, I think, uh, I agree, uh, early, I think you, you, you had said something about, um, uh, his skill set and it, and it could compliment him if he goes into a back up role. But here's the way I see it. I see it a little bit because I do agree with that. But I think that this is a part of hewie's, a huge, um, not, you know, how is, uh, master plan? Okay. I think that the reason why they make

that move is because how has got something cooking in the background to move. Tana McGee. Mm-hmm. McGee. Yeah. Okay. And, and, and, and, and, and, and I think that's where they are going with this. I will not be surprised if they move him. And I, and I think he's pushing to probably, at least get a third round pick, uh, or something. Because there are a number of teams out there that need a viable quarter pack. The need is still there. So I think that, that move is setting a stage before how we could pull the trigger on it. And I think that's what the bigger picture is on there. Bruce, I think you're right. I, I think they're going to trade Tana McGee. I, I could see a team like the Jats who could probably use someone else besides, you know, Smith, the Cardinals, whoever, nothing a quarterback besides Preset right now. I could see those teams giving them a mid-round pick. Third, fourth for McKee and, and away we go. And now Dalton could be the number two for your, our Bruce. So you're ready for your matchup in the bracket of Hughes. Ah, sure. And let's go. All right. Let's go. You get our first matchup in the radio guy region. We have the number 16 seed. Nice, cute story. High horse, too.

Against the number one seed in the radio guy region. Of course, a star this year. Bottom down, Doug, look, you're a sample of, I love to hear it. See, I, yeah, I was, I'm not proud of this moment. I'm not, I'm not proud. I'm not proud of this one. Bruce, who wins? High horse, you or the number one seed, bottom down. Oh, yeah, look like I lost you guys. Oh, number one, obviously, definitely number one. Bottom down. Bottom down, Doug, let's an easy one, Bruce. Good job. We appreciate it. I am. No, no, you are. But in our favorites, you know, that was me being a little arrogant in that, in that moment. Well, big dogs out of me. Well, then what do you call the Christian?

Well, yeah, she brought it out of me a little bit, but I should have never, I should have never handled it. I wouldn't feel bad about that. I mean, I, she, she kind of puts you in position to, well, yeah, she brought that out of me. She doesn't shut up. Now, I would say, though, as much as you aren't proud of it, it didn't kind of become a staple of the show. It started with Chris, then you did it to OG way, you did it to someone else recently. I mean, there's a reason why bottom down to one seed. That's a big team. It might win the whole thing. I have it winning the whole thing. Yeah, it might. All right, let's go to Jeff in a moment. What's up, Jeff? Jeff, you are proud of that. Don't lie. I'm not Jeff. You know, when you hear it, you know, in the moment, in the moment, in the moment, in the moment, I was like, I was on one, but then after a while, I'm like, you know, what, man, you know, every, you can't let everybody move you off your square all the time. You know, and she moved me off my square. And that's what I'm not proud of. The best was when you said potter down. They were potter back up like right after. Well, you didn't even hesitate, man. That was great. Yeah. Okay. Well, I want to hit on the AJ thing. It doesn't really surprise me. I don't know

the full context. And if they were asking questions like in general, I would obviously, are you, are you talking about my Super Bowl performances or Super Bowl's in general? And then you could answer from there, but it doesn't surprise me. I mean, it doesn't bother me. I like it does you, Joe. I mean, you're, you're kind of going off on a deep end on that. Well, it's just because it's so much. I mean, Jeff, it's on brand though. It is. That is on brand. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. So all right, with the Jack and Joe thing, I'm not apologizing or nor am I calling Joe the better athlete. See, there's nothing worse than going up against somebody who all they really want to do is play Jedi mind games with you because they know they can't beat you straight up. Listen to the Joe's feel this morning about how he set all these rules up and, you know, trapping people in the get the rule that he wanted, he knows he can't beat Jack and most of these things. If it was on an even playing field and there was just, just play the game. I mean, playing one on one, it's simple.

One's and two's and make it take it. You get fouled. You keep the ball. It's simple. He's trying all this stuff foul shots and all this other crap. And I just know Jack was done with it. It did feel that way, but I mean, that's isn't that smart on Joe to do it. It is, it is, man. If you're a professional, yeah. In the professional world of sports, yes. I mean, that's, you know, you know, you know, you guys do whatever you can to get an edge because it's your paycheck on the line. But in this instance, it was just, he beat Jack down, not emotionally, more so than just mentally. And Jack, first of all, the coaching was terrible. And I love like, it was bad coaching. It was, I was going to have to answer for that today. As you kind of went through what it was to you, it reminded me, unfortunately, well, unfortunate in one of them, but it reminded me of two big upsets that I could think of in sports history. The first one was Patriots and Rams the first time

around when Bell checked and really had that plan to beat the, even though the Rams were done, much more talented team. Patriots went on the second one, Jeff. And I thought this when I watched Jack get upset when he missed a few layups, it kind of reminded me of Diamondbacks Phillies a few years ago. The Phillies were better, but they started looking defeated in game six and seven. And then it was like, holy crap, we're going to lose this thing. But in all seriousness, this whole thing was awesome. I mean, everybody played it up. It was more like a WWE production, you know, with even buzz doing the interviews before and after. And then you got zoom off and and coach Tom Fee. The whole thing was really well done from I know it took a year to get it all done, but I did enjoy it. Yeah, there were a lot of unsung heroes. Your right buzz was one. Zoom off treated it like it was a playoff game, which was awesome. The whole thing was great. All right, Jeff, are you ready for your matchup in the bracket of Houston? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. All right, Kyle, let's hear the music. The matchup for Jeff in Wilmington as we're in the radio guy region first round of the 2026 bracket of Hughes. Let's go to the 512 matchup.

Always an interesting one. The 5 seed Twitter fingers Douglas against the 12 seed visionary hue, which team should move on? Look, this was not going to be an upset. Twitter fingers hue is so entertaining. When he gets on the Twitter beach with people and then he says he's stopping, but then he goes right back a couple of days later, that I enjoy that. I look forward to that. It is a good one. Jeff, good call. We appreciate our Twitter fingers gets the vote from Jeff in Wilmington. All right, your phone calls got up to 1, 5, 5, 9, 2, 9, 4, 9, 4, reacting to a big L. The Jack took last night at the hands of the camera. Plus, we got to another L last night. This one for the sixer. Sheriff McCain making that franchise look ridiculous on a day by day basis. We'll tell you what he did last night. And now I'm at the point with two people with the sixers that I'm, I'm ready for something because of what McCain is doing. 2, 1, 5, 5, 9, 2, 9, 4, 9, 4, midday show sports radio 94 WIP. That time today, the daily mock at one o'clock every day,

one o'clock. You all right up there? Yeah, mine. Okay. We rolled through a new mock draft. Talk about who the Eagles select. We're going to Yahoo Sports today as they have their, they're on, by the way, Yahoo is on mock draft 7.0. What are they going to be on the time we get to the draft 100. All right, let's get to the latest mock number one overall. I'd be shocked if this changes at any point in the next month. The Las Vegas Raiders selecting Fernando Mendoza quarterback India number two. The New York Jets select. Avril Reese, the edge from Ohio State. Number three, Arizona Cardinals, like sunny styles, linebacker, Ohio State. Number four, the Tennessee Titans, select David Bailey, edge from Texas Tech. So quarterback, three edge rushers, the first four picks. Number five, and this will be kind of ironic because last time they did this great player, but didn't work out for them, the New York Giants, like Jeremiah love running back at a Notre Dame. Here, let's hit that one for a second before we get to the Eagles. Do you think they would do it again? I mean, they took eight, they took sake one all those years

ago, right? And they never won with them because they weren't good enough to win because the team wasn't good enough and they kind of wasted his career. Do you think they do it again? I think so. I think the NFL is training towards getting back to the running game a little bit. You know, the passing game has been been paid huge dividends when you talk about the last couple of Super Bowls, man. The running game was on the, well, true, the last couple of playoff games. Sure. The running game has been front and center. You know, and you talk about the teams that are, they throw the ball well, but they also have that balance of being able to run the football. You know, you talk about Detroit when they had their run and they're going to probably be back. They're going to probably make another run. You talk about Seattle. So yeah, I think, I think there's a possibility that that can happen. Well, it does feel like Jeremiah loves going to go pretty high in the center field draft. They're running back at a Notre Dame. Or let's scroll down to the Eagles number 23. Then Philadelphia Eagles select Kenyan Sadik, tight end out of Oregon. Here's the road about him. Philadelphia finally agreed on a one year deal with longtime tight end Dallas. Goddard, but a 31 years old, his long-term future with the team is murky. The Eagles could land an incredible long-term replacement for Goddard here with the Uber athletic Sadik. He is a

freak athlete who should immediately find a role as a passcasting option early in his career. He's effective just enough as a blocker where he at least has a baseline to build in the NFL. Here, you're thought on Kenyan Sadik. Man, he ain't blocking nobody. He, uh, hell of an athlete. I'm sitting here right now watching the, uh, some of his highlights, man. They split him out. He, he's in the slot sometime. He's not really line up on him. He has a lot of athletic ability. You know, the one thing I noticed about him right off the rip catches with his hands. Kind of reminds me a little bit body type. I would say, uh, Lair Fitzgerald, bigger, bigger guy. I know Lair was a receiver, but still, you know, I'm talking about the way his body's built and the way that he's catching the football, man, would not be, would not be, would not be disappointed. I should say, I'll about to say, would not be happy. Would not be disappointed if you got him to pair him with the Dallas Goddard, who was the other tight end. We got, um, uh, Johnny Monteron and the guy we got today. He's so smart. Stone smart. Stone street or whatever. I tell you, I tell you what, man, I can

envision him just, just me recklessly speculating about what this offense can look like. Uh, putting him out at the slot receiver, putting him out at X Y. He looks like he has that type of ability. So I agree with you. He, I know at the combine a few weeks ago, he ran a 439, which is, oh, he got some wheels. That is a wild time for a tight end. And that's all, all, all time kind of athleticism at the tight end, you know, for the combine like that. Usually tight ends run on the four, five, four, sixes, maybe once in a while, four, four, four, three, nine for a tight end. That's more of like a receiver in terms of, you know, straight line speed. Would it make you guys feel, let's, let's play out this out for a second. Let's say they do trade AJ. And I know yesterday, we were discussing, you know, we're really going to take, yeah, we're really going to go into the season with Devonte, Hollywood Brown, and like a second or third round, a pick wide receiver. Would it make you feel better if they get the best tight end in the draft? If they, because, if they draft him, he's not going to come, they're not drafting him to catch 25 passes, right? He's, he, the team that drafts Kenyans to D because drafting him to be an impact 50, 60, maybe in the

future, 70, 80 catch guy. Like, would you feel better about losing AJ if we draft this kind of weapon in the first round? I would. Yeah, I would feel bad because I can, when I look at him, I can envision him doing some of the things that AJ did. Like, you know, I mean, he's a bigger, he's a bigger body. He, uh, they line him up everywhere from, from just the small sampling size that I've seen, they, they line him up in a multiple spots. Yeah. You know, it wasn't like he was just a straight line, you know, when the line is skimmed, it's tied in. So, yeah, I could see that. He was running some crosses, I saw him run a couple crosses and stuff like that. Has, phenomenal, look like he has phenomenal hands and a short sampling size of what I saw. Like I said, but yeah, I wouldn't be, I wouldn't be upset with him. The NFL.com comp for him is Tremac bride, which is a pretty gigantic comp. Tremac bride, probably now the best tight end in the NFL. Last year, he was dominant for the Arizona Cardinals. If he's anything like him, he's clearly going to be worth the first round pick. So Ken Yance de Dic, the tight end out of Oregon, the first round pick for the Philadelphia Eagles in the latest spot. Let's go back to the phone lines.

And then we got to hit you with the latest from Julian Edelman. You remember a couple of months ago, I guess it was about a month ago. AJ Brown was on the dudes on dudes. Guys, guy's podcast with him and Grunk. Yep, man on top of men. Yeah. Oh, well, that's a lot. So all that will let you hear or well, let you hear the podcast and tell you what Edelman tweeted out just a few minutes ago coming up back to your calls, though, on Joe first Jack, Andy Dalton, all this stuff going on here, AJ Brown. And of course, the bracket, a few Douglasses, the first round rolls on madness is here. David is up on David WIP. I think Dave wanted to talk about Andy Dalton. What's up, David? Hey, guys, so I want to know, can you let me workshop this a bit? I need a few minutes because I'm going to come out of the gate with a blazing hot, young puppy hot, like Hugh Douglass send down all the best quarterback in the league. But there's logic behind it, right? Okay. But but this one actually has logic. Could you please turn your radio down, dog? It's awesome. Yeah. So if he's on, yeah, he's on speaker Bluetooth for

something, something. Whatever it is, he's got to take that off, man. That's that's annoying. All right. Hold on a sec. You know what I'm going to do? Yeah, just, yeah, take care. It's only live. It's a live radio show. Take your time. David, I'm going to put David on hold. We'll clean that up and we'll get back to David here in just a question. You know what? Let's, before David, well, yeah, I think it was cooking something up here. Before we get back to David, and all your phone calls and your chance to vote on the bracket of Hughes, 215, 592, 94, 94. Hugh, it is our Twitter question today. And we have actually, I don't think we've ever had this many Twitter questions because every single matchup in the bracket of Hughes has become a Twitter question as well. So we've probably set the record here for the most number of Twitter questions. Have we ever had this many in a show? I don't think we have. I mean, this is no way. I have to scroll through just to find the original one of the mid-day show today. I don't even know what it was. What were we talking about today? Joe versus Joe. Should we apologize? Joe. All right, Twitter question. Yeah, our Twitter question, of course, sponsored as always by

the PI dental center. So all right, let's, um, we have David back up here. Let's get to David. Who's up on WIP? Hey, can you hear me better now? Yes. Yes. All right. So I think that move was genius because what they're going to do is they're looking to trade tantrum and keep. But the last time we saw him was that Washington game. It was not a good look. So we brought an Andy Dalton. He's known as like a real coach guy, right? He's going to coach him. I'll probably trade a tantrum, a key maybe trade deadline. Maybe they're beginning of next off. He's in and improve his alley. But mainly they're bringing in for Jaylen Harris. Jaylen hits a lot of natural potential, right? But he, but he's coaching. I don't know if the, I don't know if this is my opinion, but hasn't been good in my opinion. He doesn't, he's the old, does that bail to the right? Doesn't look to his second and third receivers. Doesn't transition well. Something that's going to help him. And so what I told Kyle when it came back on, right? I told him was that this could actually push us over the hump to win the Super Bowl. Andy Dalton.

Yeah, not because of his playing, but because of his coaching with Jaylen Harris. So, so, so what you're basically sensing on, he's going to coach Jaylen Harris up on the sideline. Helping out. Yeah. Show him some practical stuff. I mean, I, I don't, I mean, coaching is coaching, but I would wonder what would, what could Andy Dalton tell Jaylen hurts at this point in his life? Well, Andy's seen a lot of football. No, I mean, he has, and he's a little bit older, but, but no, I mean, I hear what you're saying, but what is he accomplished thus far? And I'm saying from maybe Jaylen's perspective, he's looking at Andy like, dog, what can you tell me? Well, I don't think that's, I don't think that's fair. Like, I don't, I don't think it's fair either. Andy started like 170 games. I don't think, I'm a man. It wasn't accomplished anything. What's your Jaylen? I'm not saying that is fair, but it wouldn't, it wouldn't surprise me if that's how Jaylen felt. When you talk about a guy that set up there and said, the offense is going to look like I wanted to look, what can Andy Dalton tell? Well, if that's how he feels, that's a problem. Well, but this, this offense can't look the way

Jaylen wants to look because he's got to run the new offense, right? Jaylen has to be, Jaylen needs to become more if there's something where he can tell him how to like say, if it's an offense that, that Andy's familiar with, which Andy's played in a lot of different. What's Dave Kanales' relation to this offense? Dave Kanales came from Tampa before, Seattle before, I don't know, I mean, but you would think in Andy Dalton's career, he's probably, I would imagine he's run with less co-similar things, something, you know, he's, he's got some of the core majors and quarterback coaches. He feels like the perfect West Coast QB. He does. I, I hear what you're saying, but I would think, I feel like when it comes to the quarterback spot, there's a level arrogance there that when you talk about somebody who's coming in to try to show you something that's not as accomplished as you, you might look at them and be like, what can you, what can you take? I hope not. I think that'd be silly of him. I also think it's because they're going to trade Tanner McKay. So there's that too. David, are you ready for your matchup in the bracket of Hughes? Give it to me. All right, let's do it. We go to the radio guy region, first round matchup.

The six seed long talker, Hugh. You know, once in a while, he long talks. He tells us once the number against the number 11 seed love doctor Douglas. Who should move on, David? He explains me love doctor Douglas. Well, when he tries to help people with their relationships, which is, I was getting relationship advice, because he's off to leash and all that kind of stuff. It's a pretty good one, but I can't go away from long talking here. Long talking to you that I actually think that one should be around. David, we appreciate the phone call. That's about right. That's about right. Yeah, but you know, that's one of those where six 11 is it's ripe for an upset. But once in a while, it's just a bad matchup. And I think this year, it's a bad matchup for love doctor Douglas. I think long talker Hugh should win that one. Okay, before we go back to the phone lines here, we got a little update on the AJ thing, and it is annoying. I'll just tell you that much. So let's let everyone hear this before I tell you what was just put out there by Julian Edelman. Remember, we remember a month ago around and suit both time. AJ Brown was on the dudes on dudes podcast with Julian Edelman and Rob

Grinkowski. And then this moment happened. Take a listen. Man, it's been really fun to see here and get to chop it up with you, bro. And just remember, we're all patriots. You know that right? Are you going to be a patriot? All right. So that was last month, the AJ on the dudes on dudes podcast. Hugh, that was what it was. It was annoying. He winked at them. They're laughing. They're giggling, right? So just about 20 minutes ago, I saw this Julian Edelman tweeted out a gif of that exact moment, like it was made into a gif. And it is Julian saying, we're all patriots. And then the gif moves to AJ winking at those guys. That came out 40 minutes ago, Hugh. They're trolling. They're trolling. I need you. They're trolling us.

No, I'm holding the line. I'm not not as enthusiastic about my assignment, but I'm here. And I'm holding. I think you see the writing of hold the line. I think this is embarrassing for the Eagles. It's now that that point, Joe. Yes. I think if I'm the Eagles, this is annoying. We look like chumps. Of course. It's like, we should be making people look like chumps. It almost feels like they're laughing. Like they all know Aegean's going to end up on the patriots. And they all know the patriots are going to pay their price in not ours. It feels like they're laughing at us. They're going to take our player because he wants to go there and we can do nothing about it. That's a lot. It is. That's a lot. That is at this point, you know, AJ looks kind of foolish to in my opinion. And I know that a lot of this has this happened already. And he's probably like, Hey, but I also feel like when you put that in the atmosphere, you have to and you aren't control of of the of the situation. You have to be prepared for the fallout of the situation. You have to be you have to be prepared

for the fallout of the situation. It ain't that funny, Joe. It was kind of. It was going to be going to watch that. But yeah, I've never seen anybody wax so poetic about a team that did not even. No, it's a joke. I mean, it is. It is an absolute joke. And I didn't. Now, do we think the Edelman thing is just trolling or does he know something? I think he's trolling. I mean, he knows very well. I mean, like a lot of people seem to think there's some sort of handshake agreement here that ever everyone seems to talk about this as if there's only one outcome. It's a done deal for the Patriots. AJ's a Patriot. It just feels like we're just walking the plank here until we just fall in the ocean. And he's a Patriot. And that that gift and that tweet by Edelman makes you think like everyone knows. Don't you really trolling comes from a place of a position of power? Of course. Like you don't troll if if you don't have an inkling that he's about to be a Patriot. Yes, you're not doing this. Otherwise, you look like a fool. And why now? Like why today? Why is this out there today? This was a month ago. It's it's just to annoy us,

which it is obviously working and it's doing. I mean, he was trying his best. He was like that gift of Jon Snow and Game of Thrones. You know nothing. No, no, no, no, the entire brigade that entire. He's called. Yeah, he's the lone man with the sword out. I'm in my wheelhouse. Now, Jon does survive that ultimately. Well, he survived this. No. I mean, yeah, I still be on my feet. You know what? It's to the point now where the one that got me. And again, I don't know the context in which it was presented to him. But we're actually poetic about somebody else's accomplices or accolades when you're you're on the same level. You're you're almost like a fan. No disrespect to the fans. But you're almost like a fan in the sense, but you've accomplished. I would venture to say you've got like Julian Adams won a few Super Bowls, but you were a better player to him. Of course. A better than him. I should say yes. You were a much better player to him. And for you to sit there and talk about you cry when they lost the Super Bowl, I mean, damn, really? You didn't cry when you lost the Super Bowl? The first when you you went to two Super Bowls

in your career. And I tell you, as a 10 year of player in the NFL to go to one was a blessing. You went to two. And that's your greatest memory of a of a game where when you when you look at it, when you when you start looking at the numbers of guys that actually play in NFL and go to the Super Bowl, it ain't a whole lot. I mean, when I think about when I think about humbly being defeated in the Super Bowl by the Patriots and people told you never want to championship, guess who ain't never been to a Super Bowl? Bear Sanders. Bear Sanders is considered one of the greatest running backs to ever played a game. When the greatest place I've ever watched. And he ain't never been to one. He barely won playoff games. So when you say that to me, that's not disrespectful because you know what? The reality is I played in the Super Bowl and whomever saying that about me never did and you never will. So for you to sit there and for that to be the moment that you cherish the most, to me makes no sense. And it makes it hard for me to sit here and and take you seriously as an

individual. You know, you've you've done some tremendous and great things in your career, man. And you've you've sprinkled us with some some game in the last couple of weeks. As far as you know, taking care of your mental health and all that stuff. But you have to realize that all of this stuff, if you're trolling us or not, this makes you look stupid. This makes you look really, really stupid. And guess who else looking stupid right there with you? That would be me. That would be me because I thought you had some redeeming qualities, man. You know, but this is ridiculous. Yeah. This is ridiculous. You should be personally offended because AJ is making you look bad. You know what, Kyle, that wink. You know, you know, when I say that, they're the first time I look bad. So I mean, I've been down this road before. You know what I'm going to do on my head up high and I'm going to hold the line because I'm way too far down that road now. I'm you know what it is. This is like you're traveling down the highway, right? You passed the gas station. You got like a quarter of a tank. But you ain't got no gas to go back. So you got to stay the

course. Hope for the next guest station. I got to, I got to, I got to leave into Jesus's hand at this point, leaving it to Jesus. Is that what we're doing with the AJ trade saga? I'm leaving to Jesus. Hugh Douglas, ladies, say good, AJ, I'm leaving this one to Jesus. That's all down bad. You are. This one, Jesus. This one's holding the line, dude. You know, I'm still, I'm still going to hold the line because I'm a fox hole guy, but I'm leaving it to Jesus. I'm looking. I'm like, damn, shows you'll hit that gas. By the way, you know, you know how we're back in the old day. I know this don't matter, but you turn the heat off if the heat's on. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Or error. He turned off and you're trying to make sure you, you slow down just a little bit to try to conserve that guy. That's why I'm at with this. That's why I'm at. Yeah. You know, all right. Let me hit this. Twitter questions. Of course, sponsored by the PI dental center. Your smile is the first thing other see when they meet you learn about and schedule your evaluation. P.I. dental center.com. You go to the main page WIP and vote on all the polls for the bracket of Hugh today. By the end of the show, we will fill out all the winners for today. It was a combination. Of course,

and it is a combination of your votes on the phone lines and the Twitter votes will decide which Hughes move on. You know, it's going to be obnoxious. I just keep thinking about this. When AJ is crying at his Patriots press conference in the next few months or weeks, it is going to be obnoxious. We're going to air it. We're going to play the audio. And I'm going to want to throw up because it's going to happen. He's going to act like I could see him tearing up as he puts the Patriots hat or jersey or crap they give him at the press conference. I'm going to want a camera on Hugh too during the whole thing. I'm going to hold my head up high. You know what? And I will hold my head up high. I always wanted to be here. I wanted to be trapped in here about the Patriots when you shut up. I was wrong. I was wrong. And I will move on from this. This too shall pass. I will. I will. You're ready preparing for the hell. I still don't think he's going, but I am not as resolute. You don't think he's going. They're basically putting his locker up in Foxboro.

I'm not as resolute as I once was. If I was the equipment, I'm a little dejected. I'm a little disappointed in him in the way that he glazed the Patriots like that. I'm a little disappointed. Well, now they're trolling us with the gifts of it. That's wonderful. Buddy and accurate is up. Hey, buddy. What's up, guys? Buddy, what's going on? Hey, uh, what's your call? Well, listen to that broadcast last night on Odyssey game. And I'll tell you, zoom off made that legit. He was incredible. He brought it. When I when he hit us with the yes, when the camera wanted, that's that's all time kind of stuff right there. Yes, it was awesome with that. So I guess I want to get right to the point on like, so I choose to listen to you guys because I respect and enjoy the show. I choose to listen to the, uh, the later day show. I don't know what you call that. Yeah, I was hoping for Jack the win, Jackie baseball, like this show is

enjoyable for me too. But I tell you, I don't choose to listen to the morning show for one reason. And I feel like this person, this person got off today kind of easy, I think. No lumps at all. So I just wanted to call out James. I don't listen to that show just because I just really don't enjoy it. Well, we're calling ourselves to why we love ourselves. Yeah, what do you do? So I mean, I last week when all this stuff was going down on the one show that you had with Suzanne, this woman at called. So I find them to be the very disrespectful and arrogant. Chelsea? Yes. That's not the schlitzie. I know. So did you have something else you wanted to talk about? Yeah, that's the only reason, you know, that's the reason I don't listen to that. All right, no, no worries. You choose the shows you want to listen to. Buddy, what do you got for us on? So you were rooting for Joe. I get it. You were rooting for Joe, even though you don't love

schlitzie. I get it. Yeah. Okay. Listen, we all came in at this different ways. I love both of those guys. I was just rooting for Jack. Jack's my guy. It's always been my guy. He was my first producer here. So I mean, I'm rooting for Jack, but he's stuck it up less than he knows it. I talked to him. I tell everyone this, Jack seems to be in some in better spirits. I saw him a few minutes ago. Then I thought he would be. So maybe he's coping with me, or maybe he's not. I will find out at two o'clock. Buddy, are you ready? I would, I would mind seeing Spike versus James and an arm wrestling match. I was just watching. Well, I mean, James would win that. That's James would win that one. Come on. Come on. Yeah. Come on. Spiking lifted weight and ever. Buddy, you ready for a match up in the bracket of Hughes? I'm ready. All right. Here we go. The bracket of Hugh Douglas is in the radio guy region. We have the number three seed rent free. And the number 14 seed. Doomer Douglas rent free Hugh. Doomer Douglas. Who do you believe Buddy should move on? I'll go on rent free rent free. I mean, he loves that one. Buddy,

appreciate it. Buddy saved it there with the the choice of rent free. So that there's the vote there in the radio guy region. Okay. 215 592 94 9 for a few matchups that need to be finalized based on today's vote. So we will add together your votes that we've heard on the phone lines all day. And of course, the votes on Twitter. And we will have the winners for all the first round matchups in the football guy region and radio guy region of the bracket of Hughes coming up. Plus we say goodbye to an Eagles legend. The end of an error yesterday will share our favorite memories. I know mine right away when I saw the news yesterday, my favorite memory of this guy. It is next midday show on sports radio 94 WIP. Yeah, I love AJ. We've been familiar with each other. You know, we have like a little quad thing. I remember we had to do like an interview about who had bigger quad or something like that. I didn't realize he was that big. He's a lot bigger than me, but moves pretty well. And I think he's fitting into the team in a locked room in a running back room amazingly. So excited for him to share. And you know, he's a big back

a powerful back just brings another dynamic to our game. Tough day here in Philadelphia. Welcome back midday show. Hugh Douglas, Joe, if you're rooting for Jack Fritzer in the dumps today. And if you were a fan of AJ Dylan, we got to say goodbye. He'll officially signed yesterday with the Carolina Panthers. Anyway, what's your favorite memory of the AJ Dylan error? The bunny? Yes. Our accountability, accountability, bunny. Those positivity, positivity. Your accountability, positivity. That was probably the memorable thing he did, right? Well, we tried to dig up a highlight. And the I did, I did look for a highlight. There was one of him against us. The kind of Billy, but yeah, accountability. So you know what, my favorite moment of the AJ Dylan error was? What was that? Well, so I believe he signed last year, Birds Town Hall. Yep. Like 2025, Birds Town Hall. And my memory of it is you spinning it to, told you, defense luxury, not an assassin. That was out because it was their first signing. Their first signing was Dylan. And you spun it to, told you that tracks. It does track. No, well, tracks for you. No, I'm saying,

it's in my wheelhouse. It's nonsense. I mean, but it's them. I'm right. Well, hold on. No, hold on. They caught him now. So then that becomes a W for us. No, then when you go get Hollywood the other day, what? Hollywood brown. Hollywood brown. Well, so then you just gave set matches on Hollywood brown. Hey, man, let's hold on. And Andy Dalton Joe. You got Andy Dalton, too. You gave set match. You got another offense. We're done. Yep. Down bad over here, which is always nice. You are. What do you get them? Hey, listen, I need a self esteem builder. Yeah. Because honestly, they're embarrassing us right now with this thing. By the way, so I mentioned a few minutes ago that the dudes on dudes podcasts, right? Yeah, right on top of all that. They tweeted out a gif of the AJ thing. They had now put the video back out there, the video, the giggle on the, or, or, well, and they probably listened to the stage. Do you think, oh, is it hot? That's my question. Do you think that Edelman knows something? I mean, he's connected. Ravel's the coach. I mean, he's connected to those guys. They're teammates, too, weren't they teammates? They may have crossed over a little bit.

Yeah, they might overlap just a little. And they're end of Ravel beginning Edelman. I think you're right. I wonder if something is more imminent than we think. Yeah. Like Chef Curry, something cooking up. Well, like, what's the point of them putting that up? It's almost like they're saying, we know something. We know something transpire. We look so bad right now here. It looks like I personally have embarrassed by this. No, we don't. AJ looks bad. AJ, to me, this doesn't make the Eagles look bad. He's making a... No, it doesn't because he's in uncharted waters right now, man. Like, seriously, I tried to understand, you know, you being a fan of a team to that extent. And I know it's old, and you know, I know we've talked about this a lot. But the unfortunate thing about all of this thing about the AJ thing is that every week it feels like we're getting new layers to the storyline. And I know it happened during the Super Bowl. But, you know, I just don't understand how you can say,

I mean, you know what this reminds me of. It feels like we're the only ones that don't know that AJs or like don't officially know that AJs out of here. Like the Eagles, I mean, it feels like AJ knows it. The Patriots know it. The league knows it. The league knows it. The league knows it. We're the last ones. It reminds me of Hugh holding the line on AJ Brown. Hold the line. He was the last one. Hold the line. And it looks ridiculous. I know I know I look ridiculous at the point, but I'm, I mean, the first time I've looked ridiculous, I've got to hold the line. I got to hold it. If I was Jeff Luria, I feel embarrassed. I feel embarrassed that the the Patriots are kind of laughing at one of your star players ending up there instead of your football team. The whole thing just feels it's what it, but you know what it is, Joe? It tracks for him. He's the same cat that when the Patriots didn't call, he cried. Yeah. So it makes he's going to cry again when they introduce him up there. I just don't understand that when for me, it's, I don't understand why I don't understand because you've, you've accomplished a lot and I understand you could be a fan, but to that extent, it's just mind boggling to me. Well, it is. It is. It's sad. All right. Let's go back to the

phone lines here. Your reaction to Joe verse, Jack, the AJ stuff going on here. And, uh, and we do have to solidify the winners of the first round in the radio region, radio guy region, and football guy region of the bracket of Hugh's here. So we're doing this with a combination of votes on the phone lines and votes on Twitter. We do have one match up that we do need a tie breaker to decide here. Mark and Delaware is going to decide that tie breaker on the match up coming up here. Well, I would like. Can you pop them up, Kyle? Because the the mouses were moved in here. Is it Mark? Yes, Mark. The mice is the mice were moved. The mice were moved. They took the mice. Well, yeah. Well, the mouse was moved. There's multiple. There's a lot of mouses in here as I'm saying. Mises. Yeah, his multiple mouses is mises. No, it's my. It's mice. Come on. His mises. We got a bunch of mises in here. I'm not going to recover from mises. I'm not. Mark and Delaware, you're up. Joe, I think you might have been like the caller David a few calls ago and and sleep it on a job like they're or not sleeping on a job. But sleeping like David Dodge

was. Well, I'm asleep. What happened? Wait, we can't take shots at David. We love David. Did I fall asleep on the show? What did I do? No, you guys were just talking about last week and you know, it took you only like 15, 20 seconds to get me off. You know, well, so all right, you want to know what Mark, I'll take you behind the scenes. I hear there's mises in there's mises. So here's what happened. And this was this happened before our show. So right at the end of the morning show, they wanted to celebrate Joe and they came in here with confetti guns, right? So this studio is a disaster right now with confetti. So we got a whole team working to clean up the confetti during the breaks. Yeah. But then so the last break, they came in to clean the confetti, but they had to move the computers and the mouse and there's multiple mouses or mice, whatever we call them here. Mises. Mises. Mises. So I went to click to put you up and I was clicking the wrong computer because everything had been moved. And then I just I got flustered and asked Kyle to help me out. So that's really behind the scenes of it's a lot of nonsense around here, Mark. Every day. That's okay. Joe,

all I'm saying is you you should have been like the camera was yesterday because he was impressively prepared. And you know what? Like you said, he brought the accountability button. He did. You know, accountability button. He gets. So it's a really you should do that more. So I was going to ask you guys about Jared McCain and why you thought that was a bad trade, okay? See, but I was only kidding with that also. So so let me talk about two draft picks coming up in the NFL. The Oregon tight end. I watch a lot, a lot of college football and this this kid from Oregon is legit, but I don't think he's even going to make it down to the Eagles. So I don't think that that's going to be an option. I saw a mock draft the other day that said camp of bay is really high on him after losing Mike Evans. I could see that. And I believe their tight end who's, he's an okay player. Kate Oton is also free agent. So they could use that kind of player. I that makes sense to me. Yep. And then you guys had mentioned Jeremiah love earlier about going

to the Giants. Yeah. Man, I'd hate to see that because he he I've seen him rated as like the top player in a draft and him and horrible. I think that would be, you know, trouble for the Eagles. Yeah, Mark. I think I think it's interesting because the last time the Giants were in a draft pick that high or close that high, they did the same thing with sake one. It didn't work for them, but they probably are in a better position. Mark to do it now with a good coach and they might have their quarterback in Dart and they have neighbors. Hugh, the last time we brought it up, thanks to Giants are going to take a jump. We'll see, but I'm with you, Mark. I would rather them not take him because they if they turn a corner, they looks like they'd have some weapons if they got him in neighbors too. Right. All right, Mark, are you ready for a matchup in the bracket of Hughes? I'm ready. Okay, here we go. So we have gone through the matches, but we have one that needs a tiebreaker. You're going to be that tiebreaker, Mark, because the way the vote went, compared to the way the Twitter votes went, we need a tiebreaker. So we go back to the football guy region and we have the five seed blue jeans Douglas against the 12 seed victim Douglas,

which team do you think should move on? Well, I'd love to long talk about this, but to me, you know, it's definitely blue jeans because I love whenever you guys bring him up. Blue jeans, Mark, you nailed it. We appreciate it. Wow, Mark breaks the tie on blue jeans there. All right, so we will, we're going to fill out in in Sharpie here, which teams are actually moving on, but can we hear just a couple more moments though from the last night? It was such a great, great game between Joe and Jack. I don't want to go. You want to do them how we did in the open? Yeah, let's relive the whole thing again. So Jack goes up four to two and it did feel good early for Jack. And as you hear with Fran Dumpfe, he basically called the camera helpless. Now Fritz, again, backing him down, getting underneath the camera is helpless and he gets the easy layup as he went to the glass. And it's four to Jack Fritz. Very good finish by Jack Fritz, squared those shoulders up to the backboard and finished the play with not much difficulty. All right, so that was the moment earlier. It was like, all right, Jack's probably controlling this thing. And this is what I thought was the turning point. Jack misses a bunch of layups,

and then Joe takes the lead and really never looks back. There goes Fritz blowing by DeCarra. Oh, and he missed again. He's missed at least a half. Doesn't layups already. DeCarra thinking about a two, there it is. Yes, he's got it. And the camera leads it for the first time. I think Jack three two point shots for Joe DeCarra to lead at six four. You know, so we're watching here in the studio, the NCAA tournament has started, right? The games have begun. There's always a moment when the when the underdog wins, and where you feel that you're the whole game flips, and you feel it with the crowd, you feel it with the broadcaster, and you feel it with the players. That was it. That was it. That was the moment. Last I was like, oh, this is going to cameras way. You just felt the whole thing shift last night. Let's hear it when Joe goes up nine five and really puts Jack in a corner. Fritz even closer defensively. He's got to respect that two point shot. DeCarra thinking about it, thinking about it. There it is for two. Got it. All cotton for Joe DeCarra.

If he hits another two, he'll win it. He leads it nine to five, and Jack Fritz calls it time out. Joe DeCarra over to the crowd, and they are loving it. I mean, the all cotton is an all time call by Zuma. That was a hell of a call. Yeah, that will play that for years to come. Also, a great job by zoom off to really understand the players very quickly. I mean, he realized there, if Jack didn't get up on Joe, he was in big trouble. And he was, and let's hear how it ended. The winner, as Joe DeCarra officially defeats Jack Fritz. There it is for the win. What a sensational victory for Joe DeCarra. You know what I, my favorite part was that it's great as Zuma was just the reactions from Fran Dumpfeat. Just almost he just can't help but left. Almost amused by the whole thing. Like, I coached high level basketball. And now I'm here with these two. Yeah, with these two Yahoo.

That's enjoy. I mean, it was a, it was a joyful time, though, man, but yeah, I get that. It was a joyful time. All right. Before we, we get to you people here, Kyle, I'm going to get the Sharpie out because we have to put some winners in. And the first round in the football guy and the radio guy region are going to be complete here with the voting. All right. So let's go through this on our bracket. Football guy region. One seed told you so into the next round. The eight nine matchup. Kyle, who do we have in this one? Hall of Famer or excuse maker? Excuse maker one. Excuse maker. The ninth seed moves on. All right. Blue jeans over victim. The five 12 blue jeans officially won. All right. Let's go to fries in the bag versus downer Douglas. Now this one will controversial. Kyle, what's the file tally on fries in the bag? The four seed versus downer Douglas 13. So fries in the bag ends up winning with a vote from the callers and the Twitter vote, but only one vote against it. Okay. Yeah. All right. So that was the call. Now was this a route on Twitter? It was, uh, yeah. When I looked early because, you know,

when you're watching the tournament, you kind of bounce in and out from the games. I've been bouncing in and out of the highlights here. Okay. So fries in the bag. When I look, they were up pretty big. Yeah. 80 to 80. Yeah. Okay. Uh, man. This is somebody pulls up fries in the bag. One 80% to 20. That's a big one. That's a huge one. Um, that's a huge surprise. Fries in the bag took off there. I am. Yeah. Because we, we, we didn't really touch on fries in the bag a whole lot. And then it just kind of got it caught a little momentum, late in the tournament. I have it as a deep run. Could be. All right. The six seed cloud chers cloud chaser Douglas for the 11th seed. I test you. Who on that cloud chaser went cloud chaser in to the next round. All right. Number three. See in the football guy region. We hear now you against the number 14 seed fat back Douglas. That was we hear now. Yes. We hear. Okay. So no upset there. We hear now Douglas. All right. Who won the blind faith versus me guy? Was that blind faith you? Yep. Blind faith you wins. Okay. Blind faith you a seven seed in. And then of course off the leash Douglas. Yes. In. All right. So just quickly

our matchups for the second round in the football guy are going to be told you so heal against excuse maker blue jeans against fries in the bag cloud chaser against we hear now. And then blind faith and off the leash. So we did we have a big upset that run. Not really. No. No, not the only only upset was nine over eight. Yep. And that's a pretty small up. All right. Let's go to the other side. First round results in the radio guy region. Potom down to you in a route without question as the number one seed. Okay. Eight nine. Who won this one was eight or you won. Hater. Hugh. So boat nine seeds today. Okay. Okay. Five seed Twitter fingers Douglas 12 seed visionary Hugh. Yep. Twitter fingers Twitter fingers. That's a five seed in insider. Hugh verse dead air was this an upset wasn't upset. Dead air Douglas one. There's our Cinderella dead air Douglas the 13 into the next route. All right. Long talker over love doctor. Am I right on that? Long talk one over love doctor. Okay. Long talk in rent free over downer. Yep. Three

see doomer. Doomer. Excuse me. Yes. Rent free free. And then we had 80 D and no straight Douglas. Who won that one? 80 D squeaked by like by a hair. Okay. And that was the closest match up yet. Our last one was the two seed spin doctor Douglas against the 15 seed snitch doctor. Spin doctor. Spin doctor. All right. So we have one true. A pair of nine's one over eights. That's not a huge upset. Hugh the the Cinderella through day one. Dead air Douglas is dead air Douglas. Yeah. You get some bad rap. Can we hear from him again before we hear you people because I really like the dead air. While you while you queue that up. We're going to tell everyone the matchups for the second round in the radio guy region will be bottom down Douglas against Hater Hugh. Twitter fingers against dead air. Long talker against rent free. ADD verse spin doctor. So those will be your second round matchups. One more time. I think this is why dead air one. The audio really sold it. Right. That's how you get punched in the face. That has had some real funny moments this week. Yeah, that was bad. What's your rule? It's painful to listen to.

That dead air was so dead. I mean, it was dead as Kenny Rogers. All right. Can we check in? Not a few as anything to say about the round. Just caught a straight. Kenny Rogers for the straight. You try to resurrect them. No. Resurrection. All right. What's up with you people? You people. It's time to hear from you people. What do you mean? You people. Maybe you guys owe us all an apology. What? Well, for that game. Yeah. Yeah. I get it. That's funny. Well, you're welcome actually. Yeah, you know, you know, you were in a tank. All 20,000. Yep. Cleanhouse and the circus now. This is the last 20 something hours on WIP. It's been a full circus. It's a complete circus. Yeah. I totally understand that. Awesome. Yep. Is Joe Jolio insane? Why? What did I do today? I mean, what opinions I have today was insane. Oh, well, this was actually my bed. This was from the poll we put up about Andy Dalton potentially putting pressure on Joe. That wasn't

it. Which was his take. That wasn't it. All I said is they're probably going to trade Tanner. Not insane. No, I just I just knew I'd be insane. They stay see wild take on Twitter. They're like, I just feel like for the all the lows that don't understand, they went out. The Falcons went out and got to a tug of a lower after the season he had because him and wasn't a panic. Panics. Panics have a similar skill set at both left hand and quarterbacks. So it was just it was just the correlation between Andy and Jalen not having the same skill set. You know, so that's why that's why I came up with that idea. Okay. Well, they thought Joe was insane for your take. Yeah. I'll take it. I would trade Kyle for a can of tuna and a half-drank coffee. I have drank coffee. I feel like I'm worth a little bit maybe at least a full coffee. Yeah, hot coffee. Yeah, that nobody else has had their lips on. I have. I have drank it. That's gross. Very disrespectful. You're undervaluing me. Can't believe I'm about to listen to these two egg heads talk about an athletic competition between the Pillsbury Doe boy and the Michelin man. Who is the Michelin man? I guess take your pick. No, Joe, Joe is the Pillsbury Doe boy and

Jack's the Michelin man. Come on. That's pretty obvious. Well, but who's who's more Doe boyish? That's Joe. Yeah, Joe is definitely Joe. Yeah, and he's with Doe boy. Yeah. Doe boy is a good one for Joe. You know, and by the way, we got to bring back egg head as an insult. Yeah, I love that one. You know, you are you're an egghead. That's time. Jack Fritz let down an entire generation of sports fans last night. Wow. An entire generation is strong. It is rough. It's not it's not great. Maybe if Jack tagged in Bam and Upper Darby, you would have had a better chance. Bam probably would have had a better showing. You know what? You know what? Last time I remember watching it. I used to go to when they had independent wrestling shows like the like the the trout like not WWE or whatever or even WCW. Yeah, but even lower level. I forget. I forget the names. I used to go all the time. They used to have them in like the gyms. It's high schools. I used to go to these. And when they had the entourage and they had the entrances, it looked like Jack's on a garage last night. Like would bam like a cowboy gym. It's like where did they take these guys up?

Yeah. This motley crew. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The whole family eating anybody is a wild concept. Yeah. I think man can't see. Yeah. But do you think you would have done better than Jack? No. Come on. I mean, let's speak. I mean, he'd have peed. Yeah. I mean, come on. Yeah. Sorry, Ben. No. Love the band. Love you. All right. How do we refer to Jack? Because a few things have been tossed around. It's Chris, right? That was her McGee. But then you have Jack Bricks or Bricks at six. I like Jack Bricks. Bricks at six. I think is really good. No, it's this time because that's the show. But I like Jack. If someone snuck in the system and just changed the open to Fritz at six to Bricks at six, it'd be pretty funny. I'm just saying. It'd be great. Yep. One shining moment. You're talking about the tournament or your bald heads. Yeah, that's a good one. We're eggheads. In case you forgot eggheads. Shiny domes. Last one. Yesterday was the classic example of the old fable, the tortoise and the tortoise. That's crazy. That's this. Yeah. Well, Jack can't be the ham.

No, he's not. Joe's the tortoise. Not other of them demonstrated blazing speed yesterday. The tortoise and then a slower different tortoise. Also, the event took forever. I mean, they were at a crawl. You know what? One underrated part we didn't bring out today. Was it? Was it some point? I think it was when it was like nine to five. Zumaugh thought we had to go to break and he's like, we're going to commercial. Oh, no. We're not going to keep playing. Didn't the camera suggest to somebody that he felt the tournament would be or the event would be over in 25 minutes? 25 minutes. Didn't they not even start at six, 25? They know. I think they started around six, 25. Yeah. There was a long lead up. Yeah. Well, I mean, there's a little pompous circumstance. You want to set the scene. It's almost like when you have a tip time for a playoff game at 730. You know, they're not tipping that set. 745. Easy. You just kind of you kind of bake that in. All right, Hugh. How do you feel about day one of the bracket of use? I think you went pretty pretty good. Yeah. You know, you have what one upset for the most one big upset. I think that, you know, we feel like in the two regions that we played the chalk, chalk kind of day with chalk does.

I expected that a couple of nines over eights, but that's not a big thing. So tomorrow, of course, we continue round one. And I'm excited for the two regions tomorrow. We're going to have the actor region and the pop pop regions. So those are two strong regions. Yeah. So the big, the big teams tomorrow, of course, we're going to be reckless speculation, which is everyone. I mean, when you look at the picks and I think that's going to be a hard one to be. Yeah. Of course, it is. And then tongue tie too. I am excited, though, for tongue tie to you, because there's just just so much opportunity for drops. I mean, just all the time. So many good ones. There's a million. Yeah. They're really is. All right. So we have the tournament today. And now, of course, all eyes and ears will be on the afternoon show following us today. Hear what's your thought on how they're going to come in today, because this is a tough spot for them. You know, the morning show, you kind of thought what it was going to be is a celebration of Joe. What kind of reaction they were getting from those guys at two o'clock? It's kind of hard to say, man, because I was, you know, talking a spike a little bit. He didn't give me a whole lot. He didn't say a whole lot. So I don't know what kind of spike you're going to get today. He might be on fire today. Who knows? He really didn't, you know, he,

he looked reflective. You know, if, if, if you can understand what I'm saying when I say, like, he was reflecting on it. And I think whatever he says on the air, when he gets on, it's going to be raw and uncut. I really do. I think he's going to, you know, I think he's going to go through his feelings a little bit. Question is, do they just back their guy that they've been backing the whole time or do they show some disappointment? No, I think that definitely disappointed. I think they're definitely this point. I, I, I think what you're going to have to listen for is that who is going to be the heavier handed individual? Good cop bad cop. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's this. Yeah. All right, Jack. And the afternoon show coming up next, as they have to answer for what happened last night in Joe verse, Jack, you guys have yourself a great recipe. It is an awesome sports day. The NCAA tournament round one is underway. Enjoy watching all the madness. We'll be back with our own madness tomorrow on a Friday. We're going to hand this thing over to the afternoon show. They're next. And I'm sure you want to hear what they have to say right here, as always, on sports radio 94 W. I. Pay.
