69-63, Wolverines. Smith. Left of the floor, left doesn't go. Paul must have run, slugged down the floor. Caravan trying to track it down, and he will. And it's over. Hale to the champions. Hale to Michigan for the first time in 37 years. The Wolverines win the national title. And unstoppable force in this tournament. That's a good way to put it by Ion Eagle. Unstoppable force. Michigan over UConn last night. They are the national champions. It was close for a while. UConn a little bit later early. Yeah. Kind of felt they were going to pull away. Yeah. Yeah. It's kind of wild what has happened in college sports the last couple of years here with the NIL. It's really becoming the big 10 is what the SEC used to be. It happened with last year with football with Ohio State. Yeah.
This year football Indiana. I think that and miss your Michigan. It feels like that's where all the money is. And that's where all the success goes now. Is to the big 10. And last night it was Michigan. So fun tournament Michigan earned it. They're the best team. And we say goodbye to March. And of course yesterday on the show. We had our own version of saying goodbye to March. And this with the bracket of Hughes champion. If you missed it. Our guy your guy. One of the 64 Hugh Douglas's bottom down Douglas won the whole thing. So, you know, the day after the NCAA tournament. You start seeing those articles like the teams to watch for next year. We started kind of thinking already about who are the Hughes to watch for 2027. One that I have my eye on early. Is hold the line. Hold the line Douglas is. Hold the line. I mean, if you take this thing all the way to June. That's a good portion of the year where you're holding lines. Yeah, I'm holding line. Okay. I don't care what I'm here from all these. Inside. Inside. Hold the line. There's also denial Douglas who's having a very strong start to the season. Yes. Hold the line. AJ Douglas. But you're a lot of different ways.
Yeah. I mean, tongue tied to you will be back. That's one you kind of just pencil in. Bottom down we'll see. I know he wasn't. You didn't seem too proud when we play that audio. Now, but when he tries to avoid. But when he gets frustrated. I know. I know. Back to it. When I get frustrated. Is pop down a one year wonder or is it going to be back? We'll probably be back in all the opinions. I try not to raise ugly hair. But you know, every night. It's going to be a lot of people who we talking to. Here's what I think. There needs to be some sort of outlet. So if it's not going to be Twitter fingers, it's going to be crash out. We've got to be out. Or it's going to be bottom down. Like, and if it's not those, then it's going to be Twitter fingers. Yeah. It will come out. I haven't had Twitter fingers in a while. But Instagram fingers today. Well, today, but I will say this. I will say this. The banter that I've had with the flyers fans. Is that what it is banter? Yeah, because we laughing giggle about it. We taught each other meaning. Maybe you laugh in giggle about it. But they laughed in giggle too. So they're typing it with tears running down their face. Okay. These people are nuts. I expected that from Philadelphia, they're a little bit tough. And in that. So I'm expecting they okay. They'll be honest. These are internet weenies.
We have all also heard that there's some new hues on the horizon. He was telling us about a thought he had on transportation of work. We have, we've kind of workshoped dirt bite Douglas. Oh, man. Let me tell you. I've been talking about his bike. I've been looking for one of E motorcycles. To drive from Delaware to here. And I've been trying to. You're going to have to map out the way that I would get to work on a daily basis. Now, I probably have to leave a little early because I'll probably take the streetway. But I have thought about that. And then the other problem is. Two damn big for most of them. Yes. I got to get a motorcycle. I got to get a cross. I got to get a motorcycle man. And like, I don't know if I really want to do that. I'm imagining someone, you know, on 95 or the school culture. In traffic, 7.30 a.m. trying to get to work, right? They had the morning show on. And they're driving and all of a sudden zoom in through. It's cross rocket, Douglas. And they're like, that can't be huge. So it's on a bike. It can't. I'm thinking about it, man. But the problem is, like, the way I usually go, I got to go across a couple bridges. Yeah. So I would probably have to go through.
I got to figure out a way to get through the city. Probably had to go through what? West Philly. You built for this? No. No. Remember, toward the beginning of our show, you started the war with the bikers in Philly. Oh, I know. You become everything that you sworn off. What did you talk about? Well, you said that they basically need like around the city. You're going to become the problem. I'm going to take in liberties with there. I'm going to do what I'm going to do to the blinkers. I'm going to do that. I'm going to do that. Are you? Are you? Are you going to do this right? Yeah. No, that's right. Nope. Nope. No, this is right. Yes. And this is right, right? I've got to learn. Just saying the truck man. No, because Joe, have you seen gas prices are ridiculous right now? That is true. Yeah, I'm aware. I mean, that's the e-bike man. I'm going to, I just need to get one that is, that ability to accommodate my, my, my frame. I don't even know. I'm a little, I'm a little rotund. I'm a little, you know, I'm a little bit do so I got to figure out. Big bone. You're going to think you on the road. And you're going to be mad at all the drivers. No, man. I'm going to, I'm going to take the back way to work. I just need to figure out how I'm going to do this.
Yeah. You're going to be two hours late. No, I'm going to get a little bit dirty. Get the back way out of the blink. No, seriously, I've been looking at a e-motor cycle where they have, they have electric motorcycles. was one I want to get. Bless your heart. I think we got, you know, we know some people that are hardly spotted. I guess I got ordered though. Yeah, I mean, they'll just give us away. I mean, they don't give away hardly. I would order one. Also, we'll see, Luke slips. I wonder how far they make it in next year's tournament. They'll be back. I think the boss's hope that it's not bad, but they'll be back. Excuse me, girl. Definitely be back. Yeah. 3D dogless. We'll see how big of a phase this is. It's a big phase, man. I'm about to make some, I'm about to go home and make some more 3D stuff. Now, this one is sticking. Yeah, the 3D thing is sticking. Now, did you see how much filament I bought? Not bought a lot of filament. I got a lot of work. I think you have a lot of filament. No, definitely not going to work. Now, we need to craft this one that came up yesterday while we were assessing the one shining hue. But this was a moment that I think deserves its own hue. It could be come on home hue. It could be distracted, dogless. It could be
messy hue, but it's something. How the hell wait? What, what did most do this phase? It's talking about the most shade. I, I, he, I don't know where he looked different. My fault, Kyle. Oh, yeah, that's not some problems. Oh, he got the booty. Oh, he had to look some mess. What did most do it? Oh, no, he got the booty face. I'm sorry. I just noticed you get the loose lips, dogless, his own men. No, just saying it was come on home hue. We're going to take a closer look at the year. No, no, we're not going to have the most but most should never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever shave again. He looks a hot mess, man. He did, you know, he even had enough nerve to say. I think it's up to you. Well, no, because he, he said, well, he waited a few days because he wanted to, to get some facial hair back before he let somebody see it. And I was like, you shouldn't not cut it off at all, because you look weird. What does this facial hair matter to you? No, I'm just saying it just looks, he just looks weird. He looks weird before he shave, but now he looks weird dirt. This is
what they call each are hue over here. It's like you can't do that, man. You got it. You can't, you can't, you can't be running around. Someone who's made a facial hair choice of my own. I tend not to worry about what other men are thinking about it. You don't know, I'm looking like a porn star though, but I look like you might go deliver some pieces. I got a girlfriend, you like a, but you still like a porn star. That's right. It's like the mustache. It's the only opinion I care about. Yeah, you got to, you got to focus the opinions on what matters. You see Kyle Roe plant on my head. I've got some pizzas. He got the pizzas. That might be where we come to conversation. It might be, it might be, hey, just sit in there on the counter while I finish washing clothes. From there, what are you doing? We go to drill on my gesture. I'm trying to help you both out. What's up, Drew? Hey, guys, Drew was saving me. Yeah, yeah, we've had quite an interesting bouquet of calls today. I got to say, hopefully I'll be complimentary to this set of stuff. Don't have a ton to say. I just wanted to chime in quick. That is the McManus article, which I initially really
didn't have that much interest in reading, but I did go ahead and read it just so that I could be informed. I feel like a lot of good journalists, he tried to, I guess it's him and Fowler, right? They tried to present all sides, whatever they could come up with, whatever they could find, and kind of vet and feel comfortable saying. To me, it was a mixed bag. It was a mixed bag of stuff. I haven't changed my opinion, Jaylen. He's a winning football player. He always has been. He's a vital cog in the Philadelphia Eagles Championship aspirations. That's the way it's been since he started quarterbacking here, and it's proven to be so through each season regardless of the outcome. He's just, he's a key piece. He doesn't carry the team. They don't carry him overall, but in given games, that's true. In given games, he does carry the offense when he has to at times, and in other games, the defense has carried him. No doubt. That's the way football works. But
at the end of the day, I'm not interested in all the dirty laundry stuff and focusing on that more than the football, and at the end of the day, I don't, I have no reason to believe that Jaylen with complimentary pieces around him, like he had in 24, a healthy line, a good offensive coordinator, capable. He can get the job done all the way to championship title, okay? If that isn't the case, like it was. Yeah, I think what you said is a very fair way to frame Jalen Hertz, a vital cog at times. I'm okay with that. At times, he's gotten carried at times. He has done, he's carried the heavy load. I mean, he had four or five games, including the football that year, or he was the driving force. You're totally right. And you're one thing you said at the end, I think is a fair way to kind of go into this season. We've never, as long as he's had a good amount around him, we've never seen the Eagles not win with him, right? So as long as that continues, then let's go, right? Then then it should, it should work itself out as long as that continues. Right. And just to finish out my point, like we've seen around the league, quarterbacks that have,
what I'll call a far better quarterback skill sets than Jalen has, have not been able to do much with it because what's around them isn't sufficient, right? So at the end of the day, football requires a lot of things. And so at the end of the day, my conclusion is Jalen is not a problem for this team. He is perfectly capable of getting us over the top when the pieces around him are there. And he will continue to do that. That's my belief. And I don't have any reason to think otherwise. All right. Drew, good focal. And I think a lot of people, that's pretty good. That made a lot of sense to me the way he framed it. I get it. And I get how you feel that way. And until we see it not work at a large extent, I think a lot of people will continue to fill that way. Twitter question sponsored by the PI dental center. Your smiles are first thing others see when they meet you learn about and schedule your evaluation at PI dental center.com. Does the recent story about Jalen hurts changed how you feel about AJ Brown? Hear your guests on the percentage. No close 81% no 19% yes. So kind of close to an 80 20 split on that one,
which is what I anticipated are before we, um, we get to you people today. We want to make sure because I know maybe some people missed it yesterday towards the end of the show yesterday, right after the championship game in which bottom down Douglas did take home the title. Just like last night, right? If you're watching the coverage of Michigan over Yukon, eventually they end it with one shining moment. So we have our own version of that. If you missed any of the tournament or you missed yesterday, we get to bring it back to you right now. In case you missed it, here it is, are one shining hue. It is a special day in the sports world. March madness begins. I don't care about the basketball. I'm from the bracket of Hughes. When you call it, we will throw a matchup at you. Can I be allowed to long talk for a minute? This is not me fellow busting, but the reckless speculator of the year. I'm going to do my own thing. I don't need spiking. I went on on the Twitter and I asked for women's advice on Cologne. I don't need guys chiming. He's been almost a whole month. I ain't had no Twitter beef and people been coming from a neck on Twitter and I just let it go. I'm going to print this off some nice little extra
here. What you mean he wasn't ever been. He's been in the league for four years. What are you talking about? He's been in the league. He's been in the NFL for four years. Why? Okay, we're asking me this, Bobby. Why has the sci-retic been on four other freaking football team? Why has he been on four other teams? Hey, was she tell you the restaurant she want to go to like the Beck Finn or something? I think the Beck Finn is real. I can't remember where it's happened. I didn't worry about being done. I was making the burgers, man. Cheers. Let me tell you. But compared to last year, you sports radio, the 90s, 90s. It feels to me like we're in a transition. Where do you come down on what they've done and kind of what they're telling us? To 94, 94, the VIX. Let's not let's see. He has not been dry since the last time. It's not okay. It's not okay. It's got. It's getting bad, bro. It's going to be alright. I didn't call nobody. Stop. I don't know how to do this, man. This is the new idea. I don't know how to work this new idea. I just
hurt. Come on, big guy. Come on. You want a piece of me? I think what it what it coach fans just say they under what they say under under I think they don't and it's it's one of those things where yeah it's one of those things where you know it's you just have to be hell. I lost my train to fall because we're the birds. He walked on the air told something he weren't supposed to tell me and only happened like that one time. I know but it was it was a big deal. It was a big deal. It was a big deal. Well I think people also look at you as a guy that might stop telling it. Tell her on air. That's some real funny moments. You know what I don't know. What's your role? It's not going to go. I don't think that was the kind of the one that broke the camera that broke the straw. Manjeena. Manjeena. Manjeena. Commodore. Commodama. What's it going to call me? It's a boss of heart attack too. Well I mean my bad. Do you have to have a chat with you? Yeah I have to. You know our nicknames. Oh yeah. This shows you the call now. That's all. We're getting
to put it back up. Okay put it back down. Put it back down. You could put it back up. Okay put it back down. Put it back down. All right there Chris and this is what this is what Bob's let me let me finish. Put him down. You know what as I hear that. It's like it's like it's like it's like it's like like going live like damn I still got a job at this piece. Joe is like it's like I think I did it then I'm still sitting then I'm still sitting when you put it all together like that. I put it together like that it's like damn how'd you lie so long in this business. I think listen to back I my fear of what is when you just completely lose your train of thought and Joe lets you drown for like a minute straight. You know what I have to do. Number one was God is good. It's like boy you do this for a living. You know what the hell? Who allowed that to happen?
I was a mangine, a mangine, a mangine, a mangine. What I tell you is truly blessed. One thing I missed one thing I missed yesterday right just it just bled into everything was the great midday flood of 2025 when when you were telling Scott it was getting bad. It's not it wasn't I try to tell y'all oh you don't know what you're talking about in the water steady rising. Yeah well you left us. No and you sat there in the water right we're swirling around your feet with all that electrical stuff cow holding cables and you're still doing the show. I was ankle deep in the school. That was crazy. We had a segment to finish. Yeah damn that segment I was out. I was going. You literally were gone. When we finally packed everything in I'm like where'd where'd he go? There's you driving away is where we're swimming upstream. I hate I missed those two sandwiches buddy half of me too. Oh yeah I missed those sandwiches. Survival with fairs. Yeah I'm here. You made it.
Well we all made it. Yeah some of us more embarrassed than others. One of the sooner than the than all the rest. I ruined a pair of sneakers. But what are you going to do? All right can we I want to buy the broom. I'm a jaze. Now that was what it was about. Let's be honest. Let's get to you people. You people. It's time to hear from you people. What do you mean you people? Hold on. Who's gatekeeping v mr black hockey? That's right. They was gatekeeping the day man. If there's a hockey mount rush more here you're on it. Yeah they did. They were mad. They were a little mad. So who would be the hockey mount rush more at wip? So it's got to be out now. Al number one here. Broads. Got to be broads right. Who's the fourth? I mean you're you're clearly on it. Like you might be huge place. Me twice. Taking up all that space. Okay. It's fun. New phone number. Same idiots. That's that track. It's a lot easier to get a new number than three idiots of this. You do call a different caliber. You call a different number but you talk to the same
one. Same guys. New numbers. Same idiots. That's a pretty good one. Is Rod kidding me? Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Wow. No this is Kyle's fault. I'm responsible for your guys. This is not sense. Yeah. It's only so this is like Petula when Jalen changes the play right? Like you got slat across the lips. I mean like what is Petula really going to do on the sideline? Like he can only do so much. He he called a play in and then you know if we go where we go? It's like it's like when Rod came in to my studio about loose lips dogless. I'm like I wrote it too. You know what that was? That's Siri on it. Look in it. Petula when Jalen's going on a trip. Like what are we doing? What what am I going to do? He's on the field. Yep. We're all 12 sources. WIP employees. Yes. You got you guys figured out. We made the story up. We planted it in just so we could talk about it. Genius. Yep. Yeah that's what it is. Yeah. How do we think all the Jalenites are handling seeing the photos from Artemis that show the earth is indeed round? Not well. They are not handled well.
That's what they are. Pretty good time. Yeah. Hey you. What's it like to be a sellout? Is it all hard? I don't understand what you refer to. I don't know what it's about either. Is it about? I don't know. It's about hockey. Jalen. I guess if he's critical about the Eagles. I don't know. But he did. You did destroy Petula. You said about it. You tell him out. Oh you did get slapped across the lips. I mean I have something smart that I want to say but I'm going to say that's growth. That's growth. Did you already expel all of your Twitter beef on Instagram for today? No I'm just going to let that one go because you know what I want to say I probably get in trouble. That's good. That's good. Yeah. I mean we didn't just play a whole montage of Yeah. You're not there. We'll go. I predict Joe was fired by September. Yeah. I take that bet. It's not going to happen. I take that bet. It's going to be okay. Yeah. Jalen has won before AJ. He'll win after AJ. There is some truth to that.
Uh sure. I mean but how much did he win before AJ? How much did he win before AJ? It wasn't. Yeah. Because AJ got here fairly quick. Go right. Yeah. So he only played one full season one day. That's what I'm saying. He got here fairly quick. They went nine and eight. No. Their winning was together. Guys. Yeah. There wasn't. Yeah. Well also like what is winning? Right? Is winning super bowls? That's a different story. Yeah. That's I think that's the bar. It's whatever they wanted. If the Eagles trade AJ and go nine and eight. I guess they won without him. Right? They'd have a winning. Because what are we talking about? What is the bar? If the bar are super bowls and they trade AJ and don't replace him, that will be challenging this season. I think we know that. Yep. I want more real quick. Joe. Does this change how you feel about the AJ Jalen thing? Hugh. Jalen Hertz is hot. That's somebody projecting how they feel about Jalen. That's okay. Dog. If you want to come out to call us. We are all inclusive here. We are all inclusive. We love everybody. They could have been anybody. They could have been. I'm saying they could. They want to come out to come out. They could have been woman or man. Whatever whatever your proclivities
are. You you are more than welcome here. We we open all our arms to everyone. You did open up to do you start talking about me because I'm telling you I have my fingers on the post of this thing. Just because Jalen got vision that like I do. Yep. You only got that third eye like I do. I guess. I know I didn't say you didn't have vision. I just like how does it what does it matter? That he's handsome. That's because that's how some people view it. They watch him because they know he's attractive. I like him. And that's that's how it kind of starts. But it's small. That's a small percentage. It's a percentage. It's a percentage. It's it's it's it's it's it's it's yeah right. It's a percentage. All right. Let's um let's end with Will and the Northeast. What's up Will? All I want to say is let's go flyers. We bring we fall for you. We fall back to fully the all three bullies and spent in the bull day. We're back. We are back. The day keeping there's our fandom. They don't want you can't keep well. You can't get keep them. They don't want us to
be fans because we talked about them before. Don't talk about them now. You know maybe we need before the playoffs start we'll get well to we'll get well to pump everybody. We're going to have a large part. Oh yeah. We go. We'll never done a flyers pump up. We have we have a chance to Oh, we're ready for a real good phone call. All right. Flyers Devils tonight. We need a win either in regulation, which would be great or at least the win in overtime. One of those two things we're good to go even just getting to overtime. Seems like a good a good outcome tonight. Who? Guarantee and a win over there. Let's go. Go flyers. That's Mr. Black hockey to you guys. All right. We'll talk to you tomorrow. All right. We'll talk to you tomorrow. Right here on sports radio 94. That'd be happy. Peace.
