Who needs drugs when you can just watch the Stanley Cup playoffs, guys? It's true. It's true. I mean, it's actually at this point, like, every year you're saying first round's nuts, first round nuts. This was the craziest first round I think of all time. A couple people disagree with me on Twitter, but a lot of people were like, no, he's right. This was madness.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
And it ended off in perfect fashion. I mean... It basically was done. It was dead. From the beginning of that game with Winnipeg-St. Louis, Winnipeg had nothing. I think they had three shots in the first period. St. Louis dominated game six at home with Gruden in the building. And they come into Winnipeg. It's like Hellebuck can't save the puck. He's got the yips in golf as a goalie.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
He gets pulled in three of the games. I mean, the fact that this was maybe not even the craziest series, it's just wild. And that tying goal, pretty lucky, actually. If you notice, Ehlers took a shot. He went to take a one-timer and whiffed on it. And it goes right back to him.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
He slides it over to Kyle Connor, who I think kind of whiffed on a shot himself, but it goes right to Perfetti, his second tip-in goal from Kyle Connor. And It was over, and it was done. And if Ehlers doesn't maybe whiff on that first one-timer, it might get to the goalie, and he makes a save or kicks it out, and that's it. So just the biggest game of inches.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
But Winnipeg had nothing in that first period, completely turned it on. And I feel bad for the Blues players in a way. They had that thing. And to pull the goalie and get two goals, getting one, that happens. But to get two, I'm still kind of like all over the map. My brain is...
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
Oh, man, I was kind of 50-50 after the second goal. Because the first goal was like this two-on-one weird play, and he's kind of like desperate to get over. Pareko passes it back, and Cairo – so it wasn't really on him. But then the second one, it's like, I don't know, I feel like you've got to save that shot. I don't think it was deflected. But credit to Scott Arneal.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
I mean, people were... Biz was ranting from the rooftops about starting Comrie in Game 5 after the madness of Game 3 and 4 in St. Louis. But starts him, gets the win, but then goes back, gets pulled again in St. Louis. And you knew he was starting, but... I think I was kind of more so keep him in. And then if a third one goes in, obviously he's getting the hook.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
But Arneal stuck to his... What will probably be the MVP of the league. I think he might win MVP. Forget the Vesna. He's got that locked up. And then what's crazy about that game is... He really kind of he found his game when they got to overtime and they dominated Winnipeg as a team. But there were some pretty big saves by Hellebuck and he and he wasn't even in the net.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
Yan sent the group text a text like, are they better without him in goal? Because they got the two goals with the net pulled. And maybe this is something that actually gets him over the hump. Like, we won a series where I sucked in three of the games. He actually sucked in game one, too, and they won that one.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
And maybe now it's like, oh, my God, kind of the demons of the first round are gone and he can go and become the MVP we know. Yeah. I was with you, Dan. I thought he might be getting the hook there.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
They were horrible.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
It seeps into the team no matter what because we're like, we have to be perfect. And then if you're trying to play perfect, you're never going to play well. And that's with a goalie who maybe is kind of, you know, not a great goalie in the league. Usually this is this is even different because he's the best goalie. Right. This is like we lived with Connor Hellebuck dominating and winning us games.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
And now, like all of a sudden, you know, his kryptonite has arrived, which is the playoffs. And credit to them, man. They got it done.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
No, so lately, yes. Last year and this year. Last year, Colorado just red light all night, and I think it was five games, But I saw a clip or a stat. I think 2018 to 2023, he was great. I think like 2.5, 2.6 goals against, 9.10, 9.15 save percentage. Really good numbers. And then something happened last year. And then, you know, you figure, all right, well, he had a great regular season.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
He wins the Vesna again. And now it's time to shine. It's not Colorado either. St. Louis' offense is not the Avs. But, no, it's the same thing. And so I'm wondering if against Dallas we see the hellebuck that the last two regular seasons has been the guy.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
I think you're completely able to focus and play. And I got to play – I played in one double overtime game. It was the cup finals. We actually won. And it was similar because we tied it up. Max Talbot scored with under a minute left in Detroit. And then Peter Sikora scored end of double overtime. And maybe on the bench you're a little bit like, oh, my God, oh, my God.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
But on the ice, I remember feeling as calm as ever. I think it was partly due to just, like, if we didn't win, the cup was Detroit's, right? Like, you're totally – it's a no-lose situation in a weird way. You have nothing to lose, I should say. And I was – I remembered after being like, wow, like, the fan bases are just – it's a panic time. But we –
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
I remember actually thinking after how calm everyone kind of felt and really get on the ice and just do your job and get a little breather.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
Yes. And then you got to start kind of rolling. You almost got to get the fourth line in the mix if they haven't been, which St. Louis was really rolling lines. They did a good job of that. But yeah, that's why the legendary Peter Klima, Rest in peace. He scored, I think, triple overtime Edmonton Oilers against the Bruins in the cup finals 1990 or 91.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
And he hadn't played like in the second, third or first overtime. And that's the guy who gets the winner.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
Oh, you were motherfucking me all week.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
I think in the neutral zone, no penalty there. But in the defensive zone where Sagan could possibly get that loose puck, right off the hop, I was like, oh, I don't know, man. Three minutes left, whatever it was, game seven. But looking at it more, that's kind of a call that I don't disagree with the more I think about it. It was almost like desperation mode.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
Like, you know, he doesn't want to have to do that. He just gets on the wrong side of him, and it's panic mode. Felt bad for him. Like... You never want to see the guy be in the box for that moment. You almost feel bad. But I, in the end, kind of was like, all right, I get it. But if it was in the neutral zone and they call it, I think it's ridiculous.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
But with a possible scoring chance and a loose puck right there, I understood it.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
You would hope it would have to be just an assault, like a blatant where even the fans of that team is like, that's a penalty, which never happens. I mean, every fan base, there's no penalties against their team. They're the right call. But for me, it's got to be something like that, where it's really stopping a possible scoring chance, a possible, you know,
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
Chance for a two-on-one in the neutral zone. A blatant trip when the guy has the puck. But if it's at all 50-50, put the whistles away.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
I think a little bit, I would say specifically in front of the net, where you can be... Maybe a little bit more vicious, right? Like your cross checks can get a little bit harder. You can lift up sticks a little bit harder, like things that are total like battle plays, 50-50 pucks. You're knowing like, all right, I'm not going to get a call against me here.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
Yeah, obviously, if it goes haywire or it's like usually ends up kind of being a high stick out of a battle. That's not on purpose, but it gets the guy up high in the chin and the ref has to call it whether he's bleeding or not. But at that at that moment, it's like you're playing so hard and so desperate.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
You're not even really worried about a penalty because you're also considering like they're going to let us decide this thing five on five, which is how it should be.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
Well, I think people have tried. They get a high stick and then they're just scratching away, hoping to see. Yeah, I respect that.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
You know, and they're like and the story kind of has come out that he really wanted to stay in Colorado. They wouldn't budge on the number. Now, you're kind of getting different sides, but at the end of the day, all right, we're going to move on. And we think that that Martin Neches can do what he does because of Nathan McKinnon at two thirds the price or whatever it was. And.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
That ended up being a movie. That was a movie script. Not to mention that Carolina sends them back to the same division. They're already pretty much locked in stone to play each other first round. You know McFarlane, the GM of Colorado, had to be like,
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
you know, puking when he saw that trade, but he went over there and I, I want to say 17, 18 points in like 20 games with Dallas regular season, right? Roughly around a point per game, but not, not the guy that you saw with, with McKinnon. And all of a sudden Twitter's the, he's a McKinnon merchant. He's a McKinnon merchant. He can't play without him.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
And then first four games of the series, I think it was a point, you know, like nothing special. Like, where is this guy? Like, is he a McKinnon merchant? Yeah. And oh my God, did this guy come alive. I mean, he had 11 points in Game 5, 6, and 7 combined. Crazy. To end up doing that, down two goals. How about this stat? I don't know if you guys heard this on the broadcast.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
Going into Colorado-Dallas Game 7... Three times a team had been down two goals in the third period in the history of the NHL playoffs in a Game 7 and tied it up. It was Montreal in 79 against the Bruins. It was the Bruins in 2014 against the Leafs. And it was 2019 Sharks against the Vegas Golden Knights. It happened back-to-back nights, boys. That's crazy.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
Three times in the history of the league. So I'm looking at that game. McKinnon scores early in the third. I'm like, they got him. This is it. And something happened. Whether Ranton had told himself, like, I'm taking this game over. Whether the first goal got him going, which was a snipe bar down. And then, I don't know. It's just one of the coolest storybook endings I've ever seen.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
And you've got to think guys on the abs on the plane after are just like, that did not just happen. Like, that guy was in our locker room. 35 games ago or whatever it was.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
That's insane. And the craziest quote after was McKinnon, who it's quite obvious, probably one of the most competitive guys in the league, very demanding as a teammate, one of the greatest players I've ever seen. And after he said, yeah, we just... We just lost to them. They didn't have their best defenseman and their best forward. Like, I don't know what we do now.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
Like, totally just, like, shell-shocked, disgusted. And to see his running mate, like, his line mate and the guy he did it all with when they did get their cup be the hero, it was incredible. And the Rontan, the craziest part was he had, like – Three other like amazing passes. Like he could have had seven points in the game. Like he was all over the ice and he had to feel good.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
And I thought the coolest part was his interview after. I don't know if you guys saw on the bench talking about like, you know, I love those guys in those room and we were enemies for seven games. And but I appreciate them. But just just to get that win felt so good. It was it was a really good interview on the bench after. Are the Stars getting both those guys back?
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
I don't think it'll be for game one, but it sounds like in the second round we'll see both of them. I think Dallas is going to be very hard to beat now. And I think either team was. That was kind of like a Western Conference final in the first round.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
Well, they were letting him out of solitary confinement for Stars games. And they were putting the Hannibal Lecter mask on him back in solitary confinement. But Stars games, he could come out and they gave him a meal and he could watch.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
Yeah, I've flip-flopped back and forth. I'm kind of back to I don't hate it. And it does... The one bad thing is what happens. And even Florida-Tampa was kind of similar. I mean, Florida ended up making that kind of discussion look foolish, winning in five, but... I'm back on the side of not hating it because the first round, you get the most eyeballs on the first round.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
So you're kind of guaranteeing yourself, well, it sucks for the team who loses one incredible series. I mean, every analyst I saw said that series was going seven games. And it was a lock. So you know you're getting incredible hockey and it sucks for the losing team. But you still have some awesome second round matchups. But... It ends up also being pretty close to what it would be if it was 1-8.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
The ideal situation, Big Cat, would be 1-16 and it's no east and west. And it's like you could get the Canadians and the Bruins in the cup final type thing. Yeah. But they'll never do that based on the travel and the cost. So I understand the haters of it, but I also am like, first round, the viewership seems to almost die down a little bit. Maybe it's like warmer weather comes.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
It's just kind of natural. People aren't watching as much hockey. So the first round, you know you got some bangers.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
No, no, you can't. And some kind of offseason moves that were really questioned all year, seeing what Holloway did in Broberg and St. Louis, and then seeing how much Jeff Skinner struggled in Edmonton. It's like, oh, what the hell is going on? But something happened in Edmonton. Thank God for Jim Hiller, the coach of L.A., who really –
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
I don't know if I remember a coach kind of costing his team as much as he did. Like, that series was done. That was over. I mean, that was four games of L.A. dominating. And it ends up 2-2, and the Oilers found their game in Game 5. Same thing with Game 6. So now I'm believing again and thinking it could happen. This is... This is a monster, though.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
We're dealing with a Goliath, a team who also didn't play great. Minnesota had them on the ropes a little bit. Shocking in that series, but it's almost similar to what I feel about Edmonton getting by L.A. and finding their game. Vegas, you always got to win a series you maybe didn't deserve to win to win the cup, and Vegas might have just had that happen.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
So we're the underdogs, we being the Oilers. And I could say we, Biz says we for the Leafs. He never played for them. So let's get ahead of that one. But the Oilers are in one. But if you could steal one in Vegas and the home ice advantage in Edmonton is bananas. And I know you saw a game in Montreal, PFT. How cool was that?
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
Yeah, I think that... I think that the Montreal fans within the play get a little, like, they're crazy reacting to small, good plays. Like, true hockey knowledge.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
No, you can block a shot and chip it off the glass and out, and you're getting a cheer. Yeah. And Edmonton's the same way. I think that the difference is kind of – Edmonton has this – Rogers Place, or is it Rogers Arena? I always mess those up. I'm in Vancouver.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
But they have this enormous new spaceship arena where Montreal, the Bell Center – I mean, the seats are like this, and I'm just showing how vertical they are. And it's a smaller, older building. Like, the concourses are brutal. It's like – You're back in 1980, but it creates this atmosphere that's unmatched.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
But back to Edmonton, quick, guys. I said this on the stream the other night. It's betting Rory to win the Masters. I know you guys dog me, and I've got to continue to listen to it, but McDavid's winning a cup. He's winning a cup. This year? When? I'm taking him every freaking year. Same way I was taking Rory every single year.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
That's kind of my player right now who doesn't have one that I feel like God, that guy deserves one. I mean, I think, I don't know, 16 years in, 17 maybe, maybe a little less, but been a warrior, a beast, a true captain, a leader, and he's done it like teammates love him. He's done it for so long that if Dallas were to get one, that's kind of my guy. I'm like, all right, Jamie Benn deserves that.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
What a way for him to play the end out, right? He's probably... He's probably, you know, maybe three years left, two years left. I don't know exactly. I shouldn't speak for him, but that's one guy. What are some other amazing? I mean, the Leafs. The Leafs in general. The Leafs in general, 1967. I just don't. I think it'll be the end of chicklets. Biz is completely lost in the sauce right now.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
Maple Leafs. I don't know if you guys caught our interview with Matthew Kachuk. Did you see how that went down? I saw the start of it when he came on and Biz looked like he was going to cry. No, it was crazy. So Jens was disgusted. It was a contentious moment after the pod because Jens surprises us with Matthew Kachuk, one of the biggest names in the league, and he comes on.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
And the minute I saw his face, I knew. I'm like, Biz is not Chicklet's host right now. He's on the Maple Leafs, and he's about to play you. And so I knew what was coming, but I could see Keith's face like – Biz, he's on the Leafs. And so he's giving it to him. And Matthew Kachuk's kind of just like dodging questions a little bit and being professional. But that is going to be a war.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
I cannot wait for that series. I don't think the Leafs can do it. I think Florida is just... The fact they added Brad Marchand, guys, like... I don't know if I've ever seen a player fit more perfectly into a team than the way he's kind of come into this team of rats and dirt bags. And that's a compliment by the way. Yeah. And he's there now and they bully teams.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
And I think if the Leafs beat them, they might win the cup. Like that's how like scared I am. So we'll see what happens, but that would be bad for you. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
Sabres have been bad.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
The Sabres haven't made the playoffs in 14 years.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
Their D can. They made a conscious effort to bring in some big, strong, tough defensemen. Oliver Ekman-Larsen was amazing for the Panthers last year. He comes over. They trade for Brandon Carlo from the Bruins. Just a stay-at-home, shut-down guy. Chris Tanev was the big deal that he ends up signing there. Jake McCabe's a beast. He's played for a while.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
So their D, a big, strong, physical defenseman. It's the Matthew Kachuk, Sam Bennett, Brad Marchand up front. I'm not even bringing up Barkov, even though he's just strong and can't get him off the puck. But those forwards, when I look at those guys next to Marner, Nylander, Matthew Nyes is a very strong, big guy, can skate. And I don't think Matthew shies away from contact at all.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
But when you look at the forward groups, you look at, the big, strong bully, and then you look at some really skilled kind of kids out at the playground but possibly could be really intimidated when the going gets tough. I could be wrong, and the Leafs have never really shown that in all these years. We'll see, though. If they could do this, it's a possibility that the curse breaks.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
I think it's going to be great. It's Carolina's speed versus... And I don't think Washington's a slow team at all, but they're physical. And Tom Wilson... Is a unicorn. I mean, that guy literally just changed a series in the first round with one of the biggest hits I've ever seen. And then he has an incredible game five. He scores a big goal.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
And he's just somebody that, like, nobody else has a guy like him. He's way more skilled than people realize. He had over 30 goals this year. And he's running around literally trying to kill people. And it's like, hats off to you, buddy. There is no one. Who can answer him on Carolina? And, you know, that's not really a chirp at anyone. They're a smaller team. They're fast. They're skilled.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
But I think Washington can really kind of beat them up. Like even Pierre-Luc Dubois is a big centerman. He can move. He can play physical. So it's like can Ajo, can Seth Jarvis, can these guys out-skill them? I don't know if it's possible.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
uh we'll wonder too like anderson's a great goalie but he always gets injured logan thompson has a lot to prove he lost his starting job and vegas goes on to win the cup that's why i was very surprised when he got injured in game three and was ready to go game four and grinelli was the one to stay on the show like he doesn't want to have it well he doesn't want to get wally pipped again and i get it and he was great so i think it's going to be a great series but that's one where i'm like i don't know if physically the canes can play with washington
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
He'd be like, holy shit. And he has like, I think like... 45 pets. He's got snakes. He's got lizards. What? No shit. He's a snake guy? It's crazy. He's an animal. I don't trust a snake guy.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
No, snake guys are fucked up. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Brent Burns is an animal. That's another guy that really deserves a cup. Carolina fans are kind of always all over Biz and I, and I gave them a bunch of props. I'm like, they got Rantan, and they got a true game breaker, and all those fans tell me, aho, aho. I'm like, I love aho, but I just...
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
He's like one little notch beneath like the true superstars. And so I don't I don't even think if Carolina gets by Washington like they can win the cup. And maybe I'm wrong. I mean, they've won around seven years in a row. That's kind of crazy how hard that is to do. But do they have the team to actually like win it all?
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
And and I think they've they've been swept in the past two or three Easter Conference finals that they've gotten to.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
He's still incredible, man.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
He does. And he almost slows down the game. Like he's not an afterburner, right? He's just crazy hockey IQ, great passer. And he is able to slow it down, right? Like he's able to open up lanes by holding onto it for that, that split second longer than most guys would just to have a lane open up.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
And the way Backstrom was with Ovi, it's like Strom's kind of come in there and made it look very similar, which is wild. I mean, it goes back. I think last time when I was with you guys, it like, Chicago didn't qualify him. Chicago just had to give him a qualifying offer. And he's gone on to do these amazing things in Washington. I think that Mangiapane is another guy.

He comes over from Calgary and he's just a solid hockey player. He's on your third line. They have guys that just get the job done. You're talking about Carlson. Carberry knows what he's getting every night from some of these guys. And they've all bought in. And I know every team that's
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
made it this far they have a close group and even every team that's in the playoffs like these locker rooms they're like brothers they love each other but the clips after when carberry's talking to this team it's like that looks like the craziest best atmosphere i've ever seen in a room i mean they announced that nick dowd signed a contract extension he chugged a beer and they're all like chanting for him yeah
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
So Juicy J, they reached out to Chicklets. They want to come on. They want to come on and talk about their connection with Ovi and the Capitals. We're trying to figure that one out.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
I think he's going to have a 15, 20-year career, even if that sounds crazy, where he's a legitimate top-line player. I've actually seen him play very closely the last two years when he was at Boston College, and he's just dominant. Kind of shocked he didn't win the Hobie Baker this year, but I knew he would hop right in.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
I was saying last year when they announced he was going back to BC, I said, well, he'll be on the Capitals in April. And, and, and I didn't expect the caps to have this type of team or this type of season, but even with them being a playoff team and top team in the East, I knew he'd step in and yeah, the goals haven't come, but the way he's playing and to have a guy who's that skilled, uh,
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
Even though he's this young on your third line, that shows how deep they are. But he won't be a third liner for long. And who knows? Maybe it does change somewhere in the playoffs where they move him up. But he's played great. He's played smart. And he's always been tenacious. He's always been somebody that kind of lives and thrives off contact and playing mean.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
So I think you've got a great player there. It's amazing to see. And you didn't even need protests in the first round. I know. Now he's back. It's wild. It's crazy to see what the Capitals have done in a year where last year it looked like, how did they even make the playoffs? Oh, they're done. This is the OB goal chase and nothing. And boom, they're cup contenders.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
Oh, man. This is going to get me in trouble. Yeah, I know.
Pardon My Take

Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
Winnipeg, six. Carolina, seven. Who am I forgetting? Leafs, eight. That makes sense. Leafs, eight is perfect. Guys, I can admit Edmonton is an underdog here. They get through Vegas and I come back on. If they beat Vegas, they're number one. They are.

Yes, yes, yes.

Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
I'm so sick of the commercial with the three OKC guys that are in the same goddamn outfit, and I'm sick of that thing. I just don't get... And I get the popularity of the NBA, but... Watching the first round of the Cup playoffs and then clicking over the games, I'm like, how is this more popular?
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
It was an awesome series. Yeah, I was really dialed into that.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
I saw the most, I don't know, what's the word? Embarrassing clip? That's not what I'm trying to think of. But when he went down on that flop, there wasn't a teammate. He didn't have a teammate even look at him. No. That's a sign of like, I do not want to be on this guy's team anymore.

Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
I had a guy reach out to me before the Four Nations. And I was talking a lot of Team USA shit. And he said, hey, I'll bet you. You get $1,000 if USA wins. I get $500 if Canada wins. And here's my Venmo, and it was on a DM. And I said, dude, done deal. And the minute, the minute McDavid scored that goal, sitting in my seat at the Garden, I got on Venmo, and I sent that man his $500. Man of honor.

Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
Hank and I are like exact opposites, like our feelings towards our respective leagues. And Hank, I guess I can ask you. Do you watch like, all right, so say the Bruins are in and you're watching their games. Are you watching NBA games and like, wow, this is so much better than the NHL game I had on last night? Or do you admit that like, wow, hockey's that much more exciting?
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
in the first round at least.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
So that's like a – you're like 80. He's like an old guy who during the original six, he's like, it's cold weather sport.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
I know. Because Hank's turned it off. But I kind of get it. I agree. And then I also get that not only when the teams like that are playing in the finals – It's also June 15th, and people are like, dude, I'm going to the beach. The hockey season going to when it does really upsets a lot of people, including myself and players. Start earlier, and yeah, you're dealing with the NFL.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
Don't play games Sundays. I know, I guess Saturday's college football, but I just think hockey should end at the end of May.

Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
Yeah. Also, guys, shout out hockey. The NBA, I believe, is copying the Four Nations success. Yep. They are.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
I saw Adam Silver like talk about. I mean, remember I came on and I said they had guys jumping through hula hoops, like pulling like lighted fire sticks out of their mouth as Matthew Kachuk was fighting off the opening faceoff in Canada. So now I believe the NBA is going to take a page out of the NHL's book and go best on best international.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
We have to win. So I kind of like that USA basketball doesn't just kill everyone now.
Pardon My Take

I think Dallas.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
I think Dallas. They... Those playoff games, it's crazy. That arena gets loud. Sneaky. LA Kings are awesome. And they were the best home team in the league. Oilers just dominated game five. But LA and Dallas kind of stick out. And the Panthers fans have come on here. They've made these games a complete party. They have a bar in there, the Panther Bar, I believe. It's called the Panther Club.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
When the game ends, you don't have to leave. It stays open until like 3 in the morning in the arena.

Even though they couldn't stand me, like, the fan base, I could tell how crazy it was. And then watching McDavid, I'm like, I... I've made this clear on this podcast. I just love watching the guy play. So, yeah, I'm all in.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
And some of these games, they're supposed to start at, like, 10. And then ESPN ticker, like, during the first game is like, puck drop 1040. You're like, oh, my God. And then it goes to overtime. Yeah. Brutal.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
I we've we've we've not addressed this or talked about it considering our fan base almost like left spitting chiclets when Oilers girl was a story last year. People were disgusted and appalled. So Oilers girl does not get brought up any longer.
Pardon My Take

Oh, yeah. Yeah, she rocks. But she's not flashing the arena and then having us bring her on the show to talk about her boobs.

Thank you. What I love about the playoffs is, like, we're going to start recording right now at midnight. That's not a big deal to you guys. But for me, and I'm like, I am a fucking grinder. Yeah. Like, when people say, hey, I was checking something. Dude, I'm just, like, really, really tired, man.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney Talking Stanley Cup Playoffs, Warriors And Nuggets Advance, Kentucky Derby + Jordon Update Of The Week
I'm just grinding my dick off, staying up, watching the Oilers, and then recording, talking about hockey. I'm basically, like, drilling for oils in the middle of the Mediterranean.

Yeah. I'm still rooting for the roller coaster, so I was really, really hoping that... That I was going to be all the way back in, yeah. Also, that was the worst overgame to have in the history of overgames. You needed three points, and they stopped at the goal line twice, two-point conversion, missed twice, and the blocked field goal. It was the worst overgame.
Pardon My Take
NFL Week 11, Fastest 2 Minutes, Steelers + Bills Statement Wins, Bears Lose In Soul Crushing Fashion, Chargers Eliminate The Bengals + National Sports Podcast Updates
Yeah. I get it. I get it. But the Bears are never doing anything this year, and Kayla Williams looked good, and you don't have to freak out.

But every Sunday, you're like, this team sucks. I can't keep rooting for this team. They're so bad. They're not going to make the playoffs. And then every Thursday comes around, it's like, we got a shot. That's sports. We got a shot.

That's the only one on the road, though.

The Bears, yeah, the Bears might. But that's also the second last game of the season. Like the Niners team could get, could look different then than they do now. Yeah. I hate the Niners. I hate that I'm even like justifying this, but. Oh, man.
Pardon My Take
NFL Week 11, Fastest 2 Minutes, Steelers + Bills Statement Wins, Bears Lose In Soul Crushing Fashion, Chargers Eliminate The Bengals + National Sports Podcast Updates

He's also going to be the new narrative guy. He might just be a Masters merchant. He's got to win a major that's not the Masters.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
I'm thinking Rory's. That was the narrative for a long time. Not only at the Masters, but 10 years at majors. He kind of choked at the Open a few years ago. Last year at the U.S. Open.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
That's a big narrative that's gone now. I've already seen a couple tweets where it's like, Scotty Scheffler is the best in the world. People compared him to Tiger. These are his finishes in majors in his last 10 majors. It's not the greatest. In terms of being called the greatest, he's the number one. He's the best.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
I like Scottie. I like Scottie, too. I feel bad. It's like someone's got to take up that torch, and he's the number one. He's the number one golfer.

What if he shot like he's like the greatest networker of all time? That's what I was like. Apparently he's an incredible golfer. But still, there's plenty of incredible golfers. How do you get access to all these? You have to be to let alone then be like of all the Augusta members to be like, all right, you're going to be the marker.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
He must be the most nervous person on Friday.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
Just praying for an odd number.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
Fucking tree magnets. I think the shot tracer is part of it, too. The shot tracer, like, it initially will go right, and you're like, oh, that's going to keep going.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
I'm happy for him. I'm sad for my hate.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
Because it's gone. My hate is over. He extinguished it. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
I mean, it's not really hate. He's a Liv guy. A lot of Liv stuff, which Liv, I think I'm done with Liv. Although, you know, they did okay. You can't say that. Our boys, I mean, Brooks, Max, Cam Smith, my three favorite golfers, and Brooks and Cam Smith. That hurt a lot. But it was the live stuff. And then even like the U.S. Open. No, it was really... Ryder Cup.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
It was the Open. Cam Smith, I was rooting so hard for Cam Smith and rooting for Rory to miss those putts. And he kept missing them. He kept missing them. That was so fun. And then he did it again in the U.S. Open. It was so fun. So it's not like a deep-rooted hate, a little different than LeBron, but...
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
That open versus Cam Smith was, like, such a fun Sunday viewing, hating experience where everyone was rooting for him. He had so many putts, and he just left everything so short. And then it happened again against Bryson. The U.S. Open was shocking. He missed those three-footers. So that was probably the genesis.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
For the Masters, yes. I'm done with thinking that the live guys can make it happen.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
Good luck.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
Yes, I've come around. I've come all the way around. Who are the four aces again? It's Patrick Reed, Dustin Johnson, Harold Varner, and... Oh! We were so close. Let's go Peter Uline. Okay. No, he was down a while ago.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
Well, they change a lot, dude. They're going through some stuff.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
Bulls are about to go on a run. I think they can beat the Cavs. It starts on Wednesday night. You can get in the building for $50.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
I'm wanting the Hawks.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
We have as bad a record against the Magic as... It might be the worst record we have in the last three years against any team.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
I think we're like two and five or three and six or something in the last nine. Are you more scared of the Magic than you are of the Cavs? Possibly, yeah.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
I'm not worried about the Cavs. The Bulls could beat the Cavs.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
I didn't say I want them to. I'm just saying the Bulls are trending. Cavs are overrated.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
It's going to be fun. A doke of revenge.

Bad sports towns. Pussy.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
Knicks fans were nowhere to be found until the Bing Bong team. They always sold out at MSG. Yeah, but they weren't vocal. Once those Bing Bong side talk or whatever videos started coming out in that Hawks series.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
That was like two years before we left. Before that, they were nowhere to be found.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
I had no idea. I knew we were going to talk about Sunday. I haven't followed the story at all. I've just seen so many people say, Nico this, Nico that, Nico this, Nico that.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
As a journalist, it's fucked up that their fans were running out the journalists.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
Dude, he's awesome. He's ripped. He looked so much... He looked twice as jacked and strong as when he was first introduced to the world.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
He said that he doesn't... Before the very funny classic video, when he would just bulk up, eat whatever the fuck you want, and then cut at the very last minute. He actually just stays in shape now and eats healthy and trains correctly, which is shocking. It's working for him.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
But yeah, he fucked him up.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
Yeah. He also – He was the man at Beer Olympics.

Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
But, yeah, Patty. My other who's back of the week is dunking. Are you going to dunk?
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
Or judge. Well, yeah, definitely judge. It's KFC Dunkin' Challenge. We have a dunk contest. We have four legitimate dunkers coming to the office this week on Wednesday. It's exciting. I feel like last week was an exciting week in the office, and low-key we got another exciting one on Wednesday. Are you getting any tips from them? Get any tips from them? Yeah. I'm going to ask them what they got.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
Love it. Low-key, low-key? No, it's going to be high. It's going to be pretty high. High-key? It's going to be exciting. High-key, low-key? We got flyers coming in the office.

Yeah. Pretty good. Dollars.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
Does he mention the merger? No, he does not mention. Like the fact that PGA has come completely around and to the point of merging with them?
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
No, what do you mean? That's what I'm saying. I've renounced. Yeah, Rory, he un-lived himself.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
And he just missed that short putt on 17.

Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading

Your household is snakebitten. You guys are like a playoff team. One week after another, just marquee players getting injured, and all of a sudden the season's just over.

Kind of good lead into my question, probably a dumb question. Can women get kidney stones? Yes, they can.

Yeah.

Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
And he almost went in the water at 11.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
That was when I thought, the first time, it's over. He got it. Four-shot lead. Avoided the water.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
The Elon, there was like an article about Elon and how he's like a dumpster fire and people were accusing him of drugs and someone from SpaceX was like, no, he actually gets randomly drug tested at SpaceX. Passes everyone. That's good. Yeah. Who runs SpaceX? Elon.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
Yeah. Like it's hard. It's hard to be a leader of big, strong alpha men. And he is like in every room he's in. He is the alpha. Yeah. And that's like hard to come by. And that's where, you know, where he belongs.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
One time. It did feel, as a hater...
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
You guys jumped out my throat about it, but... I was rooting against them. It felt very similar to 2016 LeBron, similar where it's like you root so hard against them and they accomplish, you know, history. And it's basically, you're never going to be able to get your level of hate up again.
Pardon My Take
Scott Van Pelt Live From Augusta, Rory Wins An Incredible Masters, NBA Playoffs Set, Who's Back And Monday Reading
Because if LeBron had lost that Warriors series and his finals record, you could always run that narrative. If Rory chokes this, the narrative never goes away. Now it's like if you're hating, it's just... It's a much harder hate.

Watch where we finish this year. Watch where we finish this year. This guy is special. He's special. He knows how to get it done. He's a great communicator, great teacher. He's fun to be around. He makes everybody better, including the coaches. And, you know, we'll see. You know, I'm looking forward for the, what do you call it, spring ball or whatever. I can't wait.

We're going to get after him.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
But anyway, it'll be great. We're excited. You know, and I saw the Maiava guy. I coached his uncle. I hated that kid when I first sat him. A USC kid, a little captain. Remember, he could walk under this table right here.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
I was all over this kid during the OTAs. Like, man, this guy. Man, you got to run to cover a guy. Anyway... So then I'm like, hey, guys, I'm going on vacation with the family, going out to Hawaii, going to Maui. I've never been to Maui. I run things in Oahu, but I'm going to go to Maui. Hey, Rob, you getting any kind of trouble now? You just tell them you know Kaluks. Not like me.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
I know Kalooks. I've got a car. Oh, you know Kalooks? Swear to God, hand it down.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
Anyway, I ended up loving the kid. He was, oh man, is he mean as a rattlesnake. The reason why that kid was captain with all those first round draft choices. I love that guy. Ended up, looks can be deceiving.
Pardon My Take
Jason Kelce, Chris Berman, Super Bowl 59, NBA Trade Deadline + Fyre Fest From New Orleans
All right.

AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I'd like to. There's no doubt about it. I've let everybody know that I definitely would be interested in that job, even though I got a great gig. You know, I do Sunday NFL countdown, do get up, as you mentioned, and things. And it's hard to beat that job. But, you know, I think I have some unfinished business, especially with that franchise. That particular franchise is, you know, it's –
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
My dad was there forever. He won a Super Bowl, and it's super close to me. I just think that I would get back in it if I thought I could make a difference, and I think I could make a big difference with that team.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I think if I took over, it'd be turned in about two minutes because I think it starts with the passion and the energy that I would bring to that building. And we're not going to take any poop mentality either. Like, you know, we're going to kick your ass and we don't care if you like it or not. But with that, it comes responsibilities and accountability from that football team.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I'll take every bullet. I get it. I want my players to play fast and I want them to be relentless. And right now, here's what I see with that football team. I see a team that plays with effort. Everybody in the National Football League plays with effort. But I see a team that doesn't play with the enthusiasm that you need. And I think that would change in a second.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
The minute I got there, it would change. And it would have to, or the guy would be down the road. So I think that's the biggest thing. And then obviously, that offense is about 20 years behind its time. You know, like that thing is, you know, that was that's the old West Coast type stuff. And, you know, there's guys, boy, they they talk like they're freaking geniuses.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
And a great thing is I love going against them. I can tell you where every damn play is going. Well, I haven't coached for eight years and can tell you every play. And so I think that's something that needs to be flushed out. And you've got to start new. You've got to have. You know, get up with times offensively. Use your, you know, come out of the huddle quick.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Use shifts, motions to help identify things and get yourself in a great play. And, you know, there's people out there that obviously, quite honestly, would be a hell of a lot smarter than me. But those would be the guys that you would hire. And, you know, bring some energy and excitement, you know, I think that's the missing thing. And obviously, I could think you've got to stack up wins.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
And with this team, I look at a team, this Jet team, from a physical standpoint, from a personnel standpoint, this team is close to being a dominant football team when you look at it talent-wise. Why the hell they're not playing to that level, I don't know. And again, I'm not... I'm trying to, it's crazy, but I know when I get an opportunity to interview for it, I'm going to get the job.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
That's how I feel about it. If I get that opportunity, great. If not, they want to go a different direction, then so be it. But I can tell you one thing. I never had this kind of talent when I coached the Jets. Never close to this kind of talent. So I'll just leave it at that.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Yeah, absolutely. Greeny would, you know, be in charge of who we're drafting and all that. No, I tell you what, though, and that's the thing about like with Greeny and like the Jet fan base in particular, man, it is a passionate group. And that's why the other thing is I know there's a lot of great coaches out there. But I think I'm the guy for the Jets.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
And the reason for it is I connect with the Jets. That Jet fan base and all that, all these other guys that you bring in, they ain't close to connecting. I've already done it. All right? They're no different than me. I grew up a Jet fan. And with my dad coaching and that lineage that we have there, and I get the passion. I get all that.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
And they know, look, we might not win every game, but I'll be Dan if we don't think we can. And the other thing would be That every single thing that we have to give you, we're going to give you. And that's it. That's my thing for my players. That's all I want is everything you got and a little bit more. And I think that the fan base of New York with the Jets in particular, they appreciate that.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
And, you know, like I said, we might not win every game, but you're going to know damn well you're in a fight.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Yeah, no... I'll say this, though. I appreciate like the loyalty of that fan base because you're right about a lot of down years. There's no question about it. Only one, you know, one Super Bowl, Super Bowl three might have been the greatest Super Bowl ever, but maybe the biggest Super Bowl in NFL history because it kind of it led to the merger of the AFL and the NFL. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
But, I mean, you got to just appreciate the loyalty and all that, but they deserve a hell of a lot better than they're getting.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Well, unfortunately, I've been in that situation before. By last year with the Jets, that was a rough one. But you know what's funny? My guys never stopped playing. And they were always in it. And I think what happens is... First off, it's the relationship you've established with your players and things.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
It's not something that, you know, I'm going to be Winston Churchill and come up with some speech overnight. Now I'm going to give them the play. No, that has to be built in from jump. And that's from, you know, the way you connect with your players. They got to understand. I'll tell you about any players, whether it's today's game, you know, 20 years ago, 30 years ago.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
you know, they got to know that you care about them. And I certainly do. You know, I understand this game. I've been around it all my life. The players are special, special people. But I think they have to know about, like, it's not always going to go great. But this is what we've said from jump. This is what I've asked you to do. And it starts with you as a coach.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Like, I see some of them right now just mailing the thing in. Where the hell – I see coaches, no passion, no whatever. They're like, hey, let me go to my freaking yacht. Well, go to your yacht. You know what I mean? But to me, that was never about it. And I would always tell my team, I said, hey, look, if you need – To see somebody, you know, and how I want you to play the game. Watch me.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Watch me. Because I'll be damned if I'm going to quit. I'll be damned if I'm letting go of that rope. And my guys would never do it. They would play their asses off. And I'll stand by anything. Bad season's good season. I'll always stand by the effort, the enthusiasm, the passion my players played with. And I coach with.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I did it one time, and it was brutal. Who was it? I was so pissed at Sanchez. We had played Arizona the week before, you know, the week before. And what might go down as the worst game in NFL history, I think was scored might have been seven to six or something that we won the game somehow. But Sanchez, you know, and I love Mark, but he had a brutal game. Absolutely brutal game.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
And I finally just looked over. I said, hell, enough's enough. And I put Greg McElroy in. And Greg wasn't gifted with the physical NFL skill set. Greg was one of the smartest dudes I've ever been around in my life. And I knew he'd do the right thing, whatever, but... We put him in, and we come back, and he leads them down, and we get in the end zone, and we win the game, albeit an awful game.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
But the next week, I'm sitting back going, all right, you know what? To hell with it. I'm not just going to throw out Sanchez again. I was so pissed at him, so disappointed, and I love Mark, but I thought he needed to ride some pine. just so he can understand that this is a possibility. And so I put in Greg McIlroy, and we get freaking annihilated next week by the Chargers. It was brutal.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
And it wasn't Greg's fault. That poor guy, bless his heart, I think he got sacked like nine times or something like that. I mean, we weren't very good, obviously, but... but I tried it one time. And when I see the Giants, the only question I have with the Giants is, why not Drew Locke? He's been the backup the whole season, and now you're going to put Tommy DeVito in there.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
That's the only question I have. You just brought this guy in to be a backup?
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Is there something in his contract that if he starts, you know, you got to pay him more money? I don't know what the deal is there.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Right. I got you. Well, I can tell you one thing I don't have. I don't need but one. I mean, I truly believe it. I think if Aiden Hutchinson doesn't get hurt, I think Detroit would have walked through this thing.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Would have walked through it. And the fact that my son coaches there is probably another reason I'm taking them. But I feel that confident about this team. This is a real football team. And all you got to do is like you want to see what your team thinks of their coach. Watch how they play.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Why tell this team, like, they got little receivers down there pumping it 100 miles an hour going downfield to block for these running backs. I mean, they are so selfless. And I just love it. And they, I mean, man, it's such a tight group. And they built it the right way, man. They built it through, I mean, character was important.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
You know, the love of the game, playing the game is important to these people. And, man, it's a whole team of that. And they're badasses. So I love Detroit. I absolutely love Detroit. Now, obviously, you're going to take Kansas City because Patrick Mahomes, we've seen Andy Reid. I think Steve Spagnuolo is one of the greatest big game coaches as an assistant coach. He does a tremendous job there.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
And what I also know about Andy Reed is they're going to start running the football. If they went, they want to win games. They start running the football and that's what they do in the playoffs. I think that'll bode well for them. I love Josh Allen. I think he's, he's my favorite player in the league. Um, And their defense has actually played better than I thought.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
So I think you have to consider them. Philadelphia, to me, talent-wise, has the most talent in the National Football League. And the Sirianni now, he has the formula. Run the ball more than you throw it. Heavy up the protections for Jalen Hurts and let him use his legs, too. That's going to be a tough out, man. That team right there is playing really well.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Vic Fangio, who worked for me a couple years in Baltimore, is a tremendous coach. He does a great job with that defense, and their young players are flying around. So those are teams right there. I guess that's four. And then the fifth wild card for the group is Baltimore.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I'm dead. Okay. I'm dead. Yeah, I'm dead. And here's the thing. I think Pittsburgh matches up great with Baltimore. I don't think they match up as well against these other teams.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
So I think that's the issue right there for me. And Baltimore, look, guys. I mean, you, me, everybody should be able to be a hell of a coach for them. You know, an offensive coach in particular.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
When you have a Hall of Fame quarterback, all right, in his prime, you have a Hall of Fame running back, maybe just outside his prime, but pretty damn, you know, pretty impressive, leads the league, whatever. You've got first-round picks all over the place at receiver. You've got two good tight ends. You've got two Pro Bowl offensive linemen like that. They should be unstoppable.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
And then on defense, this is the team that was the number one defense in the league last year with pretty much the same players. I get it. You lost Patrick Queen. You lost a couple guys, but They added Wiggins, who I thought was a tremendous corner out of Clemson. They ought to be kicking some butt. At the beginning of the year, I thought they were the best team in the league, and they were 1-2.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I just know from a talent standpoint, they're phenomenal.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Well, I think offensively, you know, last week they never had Kittle. They really missed him because Kittle is not only just a great receiver and obviously one of the best red zone receivers in the National Football League, but he's also a tremendous blocker. So they missed him. I still like how multiple, as you mentioned, how multiple they are at running the football.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I think that's, you know, it's fun to watch. They just get, you know, McCaffrey back. So I expect them to get better that way. My problem that I'm having with them is on the other side of the ball. I think their defense is not close to what it's been in the past. And it was interesting. They fired the defensive coordinator last year after the Super Bowl, right?
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
And they end up... I don't know who they added or whatever, but I think it was the dude Staley from the Chargers who we see the difference between their defense compared to what the defense is now. You know, so... I don't know if that was an upgrade or not. I don't think it was. So I just don't have the same kind of faith that I've always had in their defense.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I don't think it's a top defense anymore. So maybe talent-wise, but they're not playing that way, certainly.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Well, yeah, and I can tell you this. I respect the hell out of their game, and what they've done, I think... The general fans, and this is what I am now, initially at the beginning of the season, I'm like, oh, you know, Cardinals are finessed or whatever. Oh, no, they're not. They're just the opposite. This is a physical-ass football team. And so to me, absolutely.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
And you know who they remind me of? They remind me of the Lions two years ago. Oh, when at the end of the year, nobody wanted to play him. And I can tell you right now, nobody wants to play the Cardinals. Now, look, their defense isn't up to, you know, up to where they want it to be. But, man, that offense, they are physical as hell.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
And I think I mean, I'm not going to be shocked when this team they may get in. I think they will get in this year. But going forward, next year and the year after, watch out for them. I think they're building a monster out there. They're building a bully. And, I mean, I love the approach that their team took because this is not the Arizona Cardinals under Cliff Kingsbury.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
This is a way different football team, and it's one built on physicality.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Yeah, no. I mean, look, guys, like, how talented is Kyler Murray? I don't know. He's, what, the eighth pick overall in Major League Baseball, you know, with the A's. And, like, this guy's, you know, first overall pick. He is an absolute freak. And I always love when people compare him to, you know, Bryce Young. Well, you know, they're the same. No, they're not the same size. All right?
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Bryce Young is short. Like, Kyler Murray is short, but he is not small. All right? This is a size-speed league. He is a jacked-up dude. Um... But, I mean, I would hate to have to stop that kid. I see him sometimes just make the entire football team miss. Like, he is an absolute freak.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
You know that part. And I get that. But here's why. This team's not ready to make a run yet in the playoffs. You're going to have a new head coach in there. You're going to get a better draft selection and things. And I think it's good because you don't want to go into next year having the same damn coaching staff.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
All right? You know what I mean? So I think that's why I'm saying what I'm saying. If they could get – Ben Johnson is going to be a superstar. In my opinion, maybe the next Bill Wallace. Like, so to me, if you could add him, like, oh, my God, this team. Because this is a generational talent. He really is. And here's how I can prove it. All right?
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Historically bad. All right? Historically bad. So basically what it's telling me is when he knows exactly where he's going with the football, he's lights out. When he's not sure, if you're trying one, he's not there. Two, three. If he's got to play that position like a 12-year veteran...
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
not there of course he's not there so I think a lot of that comes down to coaching I think the kid is going to be a phenomenal kid and I tell you where I was really excited if I'm a Bears fan I'm super excited about this, what I heard. That he got up after the offensive coordinator was let go. He got up in front of the entire team and owned it, took responsibility. That, to me, blew me away.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I'm like, that's exactly who the hell I want to block for. I would be proud to be that kid's teammate. To me, if he's got that kind of thing, showing a little bit of that kind of leadership with the skill set he has, Man, I'm telling you, like, I think he's going to be a superstar in the league. I really do. I'm not surprised he struggled.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I knew he'd struggle, especially when I saw what he was doing offensively and how they set him up that way. They set him up with players, but not the staff. And I think next year they set him up with the correct coaching staff. I think they're going to be loaded.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
No, I'm just thinking right now to myself if... I mean, I would hire Ben Johnson instead of me. OK. All right. And the reason for it is I think he's an absolute superstar in the making. All right. I think I'm pretty damn good. But I think this kid right here has a chance to be outstanding, like Hall of Fame type guy. All right. I know the way he prepares. I know all that type of stuff.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
And to see him with a talent like Caleb Williams. That would be tremendous. The head coach, though, guys, the head coach is not just about an offensive-minded coach, a defensive-minded coach. That's way overblown. The number one job of a head coach is leadership, and it's – It's connecting, connecting with your players, connecting with your fan base. All those type of things are important.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I think Aaron Glenn. I think Aaron Glenn – He's the guy, without question, even when you hear about players, who the number one coordinator is, who they would want to play for, it's always Aaron Glenn. The guy was a former player. We've seen it before. Dan Campbell had great success, right? Went back to his team, and then you had D'Amico Ryans has done an outstanding job.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
both of them, former players, and then get the opportunity to come back. I think, I think Aaron Glenn has it. And when you hear him interviewed, I'm like, that's the dang head coach. So I think he's got a chance to be, to be really special too. Um, So those are the two guys, the two coordinators that really jump out to my mind.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
You hear about Todd Munkin's name thrown out, and I think we automatically do that because he's with the best players. Sometimes those guys kind of get lumped in there. These are the best players and things like that. It sounds crazy, but there's a lot of good coaches that are probably on maybe not the superstar teams, but maybe we'll see down the road.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
But those are the two coordinators that really jump out to me.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Well, I can say this. I would just be myself. A player can see through a phony in two seconds. You know, a guy that's really not him. How many coaches that we see out of Belichick's tree go in and try to be Bill Belichick?
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Never works, right? Never works. There's only one Bill Belichick. So I think there's where people fail. Go in, be yourself. And if you're a nasty, mean mother... OK, that's you. You know, if you're a you know, I always love this, the players coach. I think a players coach is maybe the biggest compliment you can give a coach. All right.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Players coach sometimes gets people think, oh, well, you know, he's just a nice guy. He's whatever. Let me tell you something. A players coach means they love respect. That coach. Why? Because he loves and respects them. Those are the things that you look for. And he can lead. He can coach your ass hard. Yeah, he can pass you on the back, but he can also get after you.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
And I think that's whatever's needed. Whatever's needed is what a player's coach is. And I think it gets lost sometimes. Well, this guy won't smile. He's stoic on the sideline. That doesn't mean he's tougher than that damn players coach that you talk about.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Because more times than not, he's probably not even close.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Well, you know what? That's a great question because the NFL is a week-to-week league. And so what you do schematically can vary. I mean, it's crazy. You can go one week, we've got to play an eight-man front. We've got to blitz the hell out of this team. The next week, we've got to play coverage. We're going to drop eight a lot of times. It's a chess match thing. Each week is different.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
And that's why so many times you'll see college coaches come in the league and fail miserably. Because they're not NFL coaches.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
This is the men's league. They're college, and they're, hey, here's the system we run, and that's it. Okay. That's great. But when the coaches know what the hell you're going to do, you know, schematically, uh, you're not giving your team the best chance to be successful.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
So that's why I love seeing this guy's the West coast guy. If all he is the West coast guy, we'll, we'll beat the dog out of him. All right. They'll be lucky to kick a field goal. Like, so it's got to change, you know, it is based on week to week. So the preparation, I think part of the energy in, uh,
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
know on when you're when you're in that locker room or you know in the meeting rooms two things i know uh because i have a philosophy all right you've heard like a kiss philosophy right that's keep it simple stupid i thought that was for somebody else i had to kill philosophy keep it likable and learnable all right and once it's likable like hey look i i was a a good student in maybe two classes
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I like those classes. You know what I mean? So my class, anytime you're in front of your team and you're presenting to your football team, it's going to be like, I got the answers. Like, check this out, man. Here's what we're going to do. So that's a big thing right there. But the other big thing is,
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
is including people, including your whole, like, I'll take, even when I was coaching in Baltimore, I would sit back and take every guy that was going to play that week would be starting in something for me. It might be a three-safety defense. It might be a, you know, we'd call that Spartan because the guy coming in was from Michigan State. We'd call, you know, whatever. We had a corner.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
All he could do was blitz. All right, well, all right, Batman, get in there, Batman defense. You've got to have something that gets them all going. And here's what happens. Your practices are a zillion times better, a zillion times, because I may play. I don't know how many snaps I'm going to play. I'm going to start, all right? On game day, they all get in there. Guess what happens when you win?
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Everybody wins. That whole locker room, everybody's part of it. And it's just, like, and they're proud to wear that, you know, the Southwestern Bulldogs, you know, jersey. Like, they're proud to be part of that team. But you need to include them. And that's where I love what Detroit does. How many times have we seen Detroit put extra linemen in a game? You know, nobody plays backup linemen.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
They do. You know, I used to with the Jets, you know, whoever. Like, you include your roster.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
And that's what you do.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Obviously, Dan Campbell, I think, is doing an amazing job there. I think Mike Tomlin's done. Like, how the hell, really? They're going to win again? So Mike Tomlin, in my opinion, and I remember last year when they were saying that he may be available. And I'm like, hell, every team in the league would hire Mike Tomlin. Every single team in the league. He's an amazing coach.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
But the greatest thing is he's an amazing communicator. And it's just like what I think is important. I think he does great. He connects. Like, he's amazing.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
And so to me, I think he's done an amazing job there. I think Harbaugh has come in and done a great job. Jim Harbaugh has done a great job. He took over a team that really had no fricking guidance. All right. It was super talented, but had no guidance. You know, they stood for absolutely nothing right now. He's like, no, we're going to have a tough football team. We're going to run the ball.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
We have a hall of fame, talented quarterback, and they're starting to use him more and more. But he wanted to emphasize the physicality that we're going to be a physical football team at the beginning of the year. Now he's able to really take that part of it, but also add to this.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
magnificent talent that they have at quarterback so I love the way they're playing and they flip their defense overnight they went from dead ass last in the league because they brought in the right coordinator all right they brought in this Jesse Minner his uh his dad I actually coached under his dad Rick Minner at the University of Cincinnati and and uh
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
And not only me coaching there, but some other decent coaches. A guy named John Harbaugh was there. A guy named Mike Tomlin he coached. He coached with Raheem Morris. Like, it went on and on, the list of coaches that were there. And, by the way, they fired him because he couldn't keep his good coaches. Yeah, no kidding. These are the best coaches in the NFL.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
But either way, he grew up in and around that Baltimore Raven-type style of play defensively, and he's done an amazing job there.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Yeah.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
That's an underrated thing right there. Strength and conditioning thing. Cause guess what? Guess how many coaches know anything about strength and conditioning? Uh, that'd be zero. Nobody, but it's so damn important.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
And like, I remember we, we had some, I had a great strength coach and it was like, we would make improvements sometimes during the season.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Like I was like, damn, like how the hell is this guy? But he gets it done. And, and, You know, there's where, like, Cincinnati Bengals, they got to look hard. Like, why isn't this team in the playoffs every year? They should be, okay? But they got to look hard at what they do at the beginning of the season because they can't beat anybody the first two weeks of the season.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Their record is atrocious. That means your team's not physically fit, ready to take on an NFL season. It's a good point. But that's where that strength and conditioning staff is vital, I think.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I don't care just as long as they get it done. But I think part of it is like, again, guys that can teach but know what the hell they're doing. And do they have that passion, that energy, that fire and all that? That's what I love. Get a guy that can make me go in a weight room and lift. Like, what? Okay, let's go. I might be short on ability, but this dude's getting me everything out of me.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
There was an old coach named Steve Watterson who was with the Titans for 100 years. the Oilers. All right. And, and I love that guy, but I heard a story about what he did. He had, so Chuck Cecil was a hundred years old playing for him and, you know, big hitter, you know, great hitter and all that type of stuff. But Chuck couldn't bench 135. You know what I mean? And so what did he do?
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
He never had Chuck Cecil work with the other, his teammates or whatever. No, he had Chuck come in early. and to get his lifted in because he wanted Chuck Cecil to be at his very best. He never needed to embarrass him or anything like that, but he was going to get Chuck at his very best. That's what real street coaches do. They sit back. It's not about an embarrassing thing.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I don't want a guy hiding in the weight room, you know, because I'm, you know, a guy's not strong firsthand info. That's what I used to do. All right. So these guys, the great ones, You know, every program is built for the individual. You know what I mean? And, yeah, can we do things collectively? Yeah, sure. But we also are never going to embarrass the player.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
We're going to get them at their very best. And that's how these great strength coaches work.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I mean, I'm trying to run them down.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I think it's going to be a great game. I think it's going to be an amazing game. But I'm going to go with John. Okay. I'm going to go with John strictly because it's hard for me to ignore a Hall of Fame quarterback and a Hall of Fame running back. I mean, look, last week we saw them get beat. How did they get beat? They ran the damn ball 13 times with that kid. You know, with Derrick Henry. Why?
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
You know, and guess how many carries he got, guys, in the fourth quarter? You guys know. Zero.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
How the hell does Derrick Henry not carry the ball in the fourth quarter of a game like that that you know is going to be tight? I think they get back to it. I'm sure John's going to be like, hey, Todd Munkin, dude, Run him until his damn tongue is dragging. I want to see 30 carries from Derrick Henry. I would not be surprised if that doesn't happen in this game.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Yeah, I mean, clearly last year, I couldn't agree more. Last year, they were the best team in the National Football League. I don't think it was even a question. And then to handle that game, they had six runs to the running backs in the playoffs. I thought that was crazy. I never thought I'd see it again. Then I saw 13 carries with Derrick Henry. So, yeah, I mean, I'm with you on that.

It's like, golly, you just want to see the big guy go. And you're right. This dude doesn't get going until he carries it 12, 13, 14 times. Then he starts going. And then by the end of it, what I've noticed is guys start making business decisions. And tough guys. Like, tough guys. Like, you know what?
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
You know, I'm not coming up there and hitting them with the same enthusiasm I had at the beginning of the game. A lot of times that happens. I've seen tough guys. All of a sudden, not so much anymore. So, yeah, I think that could be the difference in this game. Just feed the beast.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I thought I ended up getting passed.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Because I haven't been on it in quite a while.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Yes, yes, yes. Because I remember.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
And hockey season only started two months ago for you guys. Oh, no, it's starting next week. Yeah. It's preseason. It's preseason until April 19th.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Yeah. Four Nations wasn't even seasoned for you guys?
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
It's an exhibition. I agreed it was one of the most amazing exhibitions I've ever seen. I'm not calling it an all-star game. It was an all-star game. It was a warm-up to the Olympics.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
yeah but it was an exhibition so like if you're a Canadian and you're saying oh man we beat you guys like okay in an exhibition so that's what I kind of just trying to hold on to but after my celebration of the Saturday night win in Montreal I couldn't lean on that anymore that's kind of what we do that all the time with USA hockey the worst part about four nations and the Olympics next year do you guys know no
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
It's no Russia. So nothing is really that legit. Would they be that good? Best on best hockey? You need Russia involved. You know what I mean? Would their team be that good? Their team's goalies and forwards are probably the best. Their D's not great. So you're saying double exhibition. It's complete Mickey Mouse because Russia wasn't playing. That's a valid point. Double exhibition.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
No, that's not going to happen. I don't think Putin will go for that one. He's reasonable.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
But they were like 45 years old. Yeah. I'm saying they were 26.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Yeah, I got all you. Good point. I got everyone. I mean, the most amazing thing about the Ovi goal chase is – and this is totally not – it could not be true. He could be like 46 years old. Like – You never know with Russians. So the fact that he could be a little older is even crazier.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Do you know that when he was drafted in 2004, I believe, and prior to the draft, the GM of the Panthers at the time was just – He's onslaughting the league with a technicality that he should be able to be drafted that year because of leap years. Technically, he was 18 if we counted leap years. I love that. I respect the hell out of that. Just trying your hardest, knowing how good he'd be.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Exactly.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Yeah. Ever. So, I mean, they gave it their best shot, and then he changed Washington forever.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
And not, you know, not one Caps player was on any of the teams. Right. So it's a big break where you see McDavid get injured, the Kachuks get injured. There were several other guys too that I can't think of right now that, yeah, I mean, you're trying to win a cup and all of a sudden you're going to war in an exhibition for a week.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week

Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Yeah, I know. Why would you stop having him on just because his son is mean to him? Yeah, Randy Moss is on that list, the white one. Yeah, the white one. Have you ever had the black Randy Moss on? No, we have not. He said no? No, we've never asked. Really? That's such a no-brainer for you guys.

Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
The sport of friendship.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Well, I'm wondering. All of a sudden, I got a guy that I'm friendly with. I don't know super well you and I. It's coming up to me with a dead serious face walking out going, I'll see you tomorrow. I said, does anyone know what that's about? Everyone's telling me no. I thought it was Ovi.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I'm coming on a show knowing that the host of the show has a beef with me. I'm curious.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
We've known each other for about seven, eight years.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
That's why I say we're friendly. We're not friends, but we're friendly. I don't have your number.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
You don't follow me on Twitter, Whit. That's one of those things that, you know, you end up on somebody's page and you press it by accident. Oh, no. We go with that? Well, I know for a fact at one point I followed you and there was no point in time where I went, I'm going to go unfollow PFT Commenter.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I'm going to do it right again. So hold on. You truthfully thought, as a listener of this show, the number one most occurring guest. Yep. You think I went and unfollowed you.

The whole time you knew what happened.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Yeah, I'm like, last night, I'm talking to Francis. I'm like, I don't know what the fuck I did to PFT commenter. I'm asking Big Cat, what did I do? And Big Cat's like, I don't know anything. And I'm like, this man's lied to me before. No, but I didn't.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Yeah, maybe. I mean, I got to be honest. I was disgusted by Max. Disgusted. I texted Dan. Did you see me? No. The April 1st thing. Oh. We don't have to do this. We don't have to do this. So hold on. Come on. We do not have to do this. Hold on, Max. I'm sorry. So, Max, I was listening. I'm listening. I was on a flight home. What was it? It was last week, right?
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I was like, so I texted Dan in the middle of listening. I'm like, who is on the phone? Like, who is playing Big Dom? And then as I kept listening, I'm like, oh, my gosh, Jerry O'Connell. Very funny. Very funny clip. Yes. Then it comes out of you telling that kid you're going to fire him. I was like, you were that mad?
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I was fired up. I was fired up. But I was like, oh, he's not that mad. I wasn't actually going to fire him. No, but you were like, I'm going to slap you.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
So growing up, were you like... like you could not take a joke no the the joke is i've taken many a joke on this on this very program right here yeah but you've become like a household name enormous part of the show like enormous it's gone from like you came on like who's this guy and now it's like max is like a storyline every episode and then you're telling a guy you're gonna fire him i was like
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Holy shit. This guy is crazy.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So my thing is... I said April 1st. My thing is when you saw the... How did you guys release it? Like for mature audiences only? Yeah, yeah, yeah. The PMTV. Were you like... oh, my God, I'm so embarrassed how I look here? Or were you still like, no, fuck them? Some of both. I mean, those were fake closed captions. No. I think it's just funny. I never thought you were mad.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
No, I was mad. No, no, no.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
He was mad at the situation. And then little did you know how stupid you were going to look.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I'm afraid to ever mess with him.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
You can't just use that excuse. I'm Italian. Don't make a joke.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I can tell. He's like, mmm.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Yeah. Just good, bad, happy, sad. But the ego stuff, I get that. Like, you know, your show's built on people being diehard fans. And it's like an April Fool's prank. I've never seen somebody that mad.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
And I was like, you see this guy fucking Max. He's snapping.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
No, it's very, very, very good content, though, Max. Unfortunately, at your expense this time, but you've been on the right side of things lately, right? Yeah, no, Eagles won the Super Bowl. And then did I hear there's a chance you're going to the White House? Yes. I don't think that might end up happening, or what?
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Thank you.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
It seems like every year we have something big in playoffs with us. Yeah. So I'm kind of hoping again this year something happens.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
You don't make bets with him anymore. Right. It's the same. Who was I just talking about? There was a guy that used to work at Barstool that made a bet he'd jump in the Hudson River if the Rangers lost. He never did. It's like, all right, well, we don't make bets with you anymore. Is that Avery? Avery.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I actually know who. I forgot. Yeah, Hawk Tua. Oh, I thought he was working for Jake Paul.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
When she did the meme drop? Yeah, yeah. You're lying. I'm dead serious. That was what he was doing?
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
And then she disappeared. So hockey this year, so many storylines. I think the number one for me is that this is the best chance the Leafs have ever had to win the cup.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I don't even think he really is... He's so into it. It's almost one of those, I don't need to bet it. Right. Because I have so much riding on it anyways. Right. But there's just some crazy...
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
uh what would be the word like coincidences or like things that are kind of happening that lead back to the last maple leaf stanley team of destiny yes if if if you want to look at it that way for a team who's had just no success 1967 The first is that, well, the most recent one I heard is the last time both the Detroit Red Wings and Boston Bruins didn't make the Stanley Cup was 1967.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Nothing crazy. The playoffs. Kind of nuts that those two teams didn't make it the last time they won. Well, they're both out.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
The last time there was a member of the Maple Leafs with the nickname Chief, 1967. Their coach is now nicknamed Chief. It's his first year. There were some other things that are kind of – I'm missing off the top of my head right now. There was one amazing one. It'll come back to me, but basically it's like you have all these storylines of the Leafs. You have their best player or one of them –
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Coming up as a free agent. Who's that? Mitch Marner. Nobody has any clue. Basically, Biz is describing it as if he lights it up and we go on a run, even if we don't win the cup, we have to re-sign him. If he doesn't play good, we don't re-sign him. So it's like, well, you're really going to rely just on this one singular playoff to determine his fate and future as a Maple Leafs?
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
So that's kind of crazy storyline there.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Yes, yes.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
It's wild. And not to mention, forget the other things. And I wish I had all the other ones in my head.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Yeah, right? I could see. Yeah, and we had a guy on named Hockey Illuminati on Chicklets who's a diehard Leafs fan. Hasn't missed a game in years. And he was listing us off different stats. And unfortunately, it was a while ago. I don't remember. They are very good, too. So, like... I don't know. I actually feel like this could be the year.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
They're probably not going to have to play a Florida team in the first round, whereas if it sticks out, they win the division, they get Ottawa, which is actually better for hockey as a whole because then you get the Battle of Ontario and you get the Battle of Florida with Tampa and the Panthers, who played this incredible series, I think, three years ago.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
And for Toronto, it's like, all right, well, Ottawa hasn't been in the playoffs for, I don't know, 10 years, nine years. So we should be able to get by them. Then they get to play the Florida team that was beat up by the other Florida team who lost. So it's kind of all setting up. And hockey would be very, very well off to have the Leafs go on a run.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
The hockey-related revenue would be through the roof. And the East, I think... Now, PFT may be mad. I think there's two, maybe three teams that could win the Cup. I don't know if I consider Washington one of them. Can I ask a question about that?
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
And then when you're going into the playoffs, if you have a 1A and a 1B, do you have a number one? It's kind of like, I don't know... The league's changed where you now have goalies really split time and play, I don't know, 45 and 38 games, whatever it may be. But once you get in the playoffs, it seems like every year the winning team has a go-to guy in net.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Now, I think that to me is the other thing. Also... it's been like this magical run of the goal chase and it's been such a cool storyline, but like when you get down to matchups and then you're playing a team four out of seven, like, I don't know.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Like I think Dylan Strom's an awesome player and like, but if he's going up against like Barkov or Matthews, it's like some of these other centermen, it's like, I don't know. Can he, can, can he hold up his end of the bargain? Like he could no doubt, but it's more just looking at the whole team, but it's been a wild ride. They also have kind of struggled lately because,
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Now, Grant, I think they've been on like a bender every time Ovi scores. It's like, we tied it up. We got to go out. We broke the record.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
And yeah, I don't know. I think that they're going to get Montreal in the first round. That's like this crazy storyline nobody saw coming. The last time they played in the playoffs was when Washington won the President's Trophy, lost in the first round to them. Yeah. To, you know, kind of a shocking upset. Kind of similar there.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Now, if Washington were to get to the conference finals, like, I don't think anyone would be surprised, but it's more like not everyone's just picking it to happen. Right. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
How do you feel?
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
2010, I think.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
So we interviewed Dylan Strom recently and kind of asked him, like, what did Carberry say before this year? Because they made a lot of moves in the offseason, right? They brought in, like, Jacob Chikrin. They ended up bringing in guys. This Protoss guy is unbelievable. He's a Belarusian monster. The Capitals also drafted his brother, who's another, like, I'm talking 6'6", monsters.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I guess Carberry told them, like, my biggest thing is we need to score more. Last year, they were really strong.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Great move. Say we got to score goals. Yeah. They led the league in goals. And even Dylan Strom was like, I don't think anyone saw this coming. But obviously, like, Protoss and Ovi and, yeah, Strom. And I don't know. I think that when I say, like, why I don't think they're going to win it, if you're a Caps fan, it's like, this guy's an idiot. He hasn't given really one reason.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
It's kind of just like a gut feeling. I think last year they were so bad. And I know it's a different team. I'm like, how would this team be that good the next year? But so far, I've looked like an idiot. I mean, I don't think one guy on Chicklets picked him to make the playoffs. Wow. That's crazy.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
From the first game. They're a fun team to watch.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
And part of me was that maybe when that happens, it's like, oh, the balloon kind of bursts, but... But... Then playoffs come.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I was going to say I almost wish this was tomorrow morning because by the sounds of it, there's going to be fireworks tonight. And that's where Washington, at least against a team like Carolina— They don't really have anyone like the way Washington has a Tom Wilson, you know, the when they played last week turned into a really dirty game.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I'll host Tom Wilson and then Tom Wilson skating around and he's saying, who's going to protect you? You could read who's going to protect you like basically like I'll.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
kill anyone right and now they're playing again quickly and even in that game carberry was over kind of whispering in tom wilson's ear and biz and i were saying like what do you think he's saying to him like please kind of like calm down calm down it was more like he might take a 25 game suspension right now yeah so they yeah that that is uh last night as you're listening on friday and i think we're gonna see some fireworks and i think tom wilson will be one of those like looking at the bench like who's gonna do anything
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
You have nobody here that I won't pump. And this is also coming from Jalen Chatfield. Did you see that move? Yeah, he flipped him. Yeah, he kind of like figure four leg lock, like slew footed him. No helmet on. Pretty dangerous. It sounds like maybe a little exaggeration, but he could have died. If that guy lands on his head, dude, that's not what you do in a fight.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
No, I think you actually can. Like, I think if you're squared off and you grab each other's shoulders and you want to slam them down, which ironically is what Tom Wilson did to Panarin.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
But, like, whipping him around like that. It was more of, like, getting your leg behind his leg. And then, you know, if you take a guy and slam him down, it's like, buddy, I'm bigger, I'm stronger, I'm meaner than you.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
yeah but to use your leg it was just i don't know and now rod brindamore he called uh me a moron it was not directly he said media you're all morons uh i'm a media guy now yeah you are and i was the one that was saying like i think he should have got like a three or four game suspension but they didn't suspend him so now it's kind of like who's what's to stop the next guy from figure four leg sweeping right right all right so uh so the leafs
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Florida, Tampa, Toronto. I'm taking all three Atlantic's.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I think that the only thing that'll stop that is whoever of those three makes the conference finals might just be beat to shit. Out of gas. Right? And I think... Carolina has a pretty nice route based on the fact that Jersey doesn't have a lot of their players healthy. Jack Hughes being the biggest one.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Devils are in.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I thought the team folded.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
no legit i think he was talking like they were winning the draft lottery they're in the playoffs oh that's so funny and and you know you you but without jack hughes it's like off and carolina kind of comes toward the last time they played after new jersey beat the rangers in seven two years ago when avery didn't jump in the hudson that the hurricanes like just whooped on him now it's two years later but no jack hughes so
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
The problem would be of the three Atlantic teams to get to the conference final, they could face a team that hasn't dealt with two rounds of just kicking the shit out of each other on the other end.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
No, but based on you bringing it up, I'm going to guess that the Caps are 3 or 4-0.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
This is why Caps fans really, really hate me. 4-1, 6-3, 6-3. And I think I've been tweeted, like, buddy, you don't know what you're talking about. We've crushed the Panthers all year. And I have nothing to say. It's more just like it's kind of an eye test for me. And what's funny is you bring up the West. The same exact thing can be said for Winnipeg.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Winnipeg and Washington this year, I think both teams, the expectations weren't that crazy high going into the year. They're the number one and two team. And I'm still like, same thing with Washington. I don't really...
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
by Winnipeg now based on last year they played Colorado in the first round it was a shit kicking like Hellebuck was not Hellebuck and Colorado's offense was just humming and Winnipeg looked horrible and now you know they're not going to have to face what Colorado in the first round because they're going to win the division and maybe get like a wounded Minnesota team but still I'm like the next round that means they have Dallas or Colorado right I actually like Colorado the best
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
They won it three. Three years ago. It went Colorado, then Vegas, then Florida.

Well, yeah, mainly Makar and McKinnon. And they have this crazy emotional storyline coming through of Gabriel Landeskog. And do you remember like him and his captain of the Avalanche? His last NHL game was the game they won the cup. I think they won in five that year, or maybe six against the Lightning. And Lightning, they were going for the third straight. They had nothing left in the tank.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
And Landeskog raised the cup, and then it came out after he had played the entire playoffs on just a crippled knee. Like his knee was a mess. He had been cut by a skate. They fixed that, and then they realized that it wasn't just a cut. Something else had happened. Realized he didn't have cartilage where there needed to be cartilage. So he hasn't played hockey in three years.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
in three coming up on three years wow and he's now back he's going down to the ahl as of yesterday wow so that way he can go play three games in the ahl not have to be put on the cap for the avalanche which would cause them issues trying to get him back in the lineup so no we'll go send him to the minors for three games and then when the caps cancel then there's no cap starting game one of the playoffs he's back yep their captain's back three years people get so mad when this happens but it's so
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
funny because every year it happens where a guy will get injured i know and they can use him later in the year and it doesn't come to the cap and it's like uh it's it's such an advantage it's such a it's such an infuriating thing for other fan bases and for myself last year uh vegas got hurtle and mark stone was put on ltir again and i'm like it was like the breaking bad like he can't keep getting away with this and now it's different with land of scog to me because like
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I don't know. I just have so much respect for him. We interviewed him recently. He had a documentary made about his comeback. He talks a lot about how many nights he's like, I'm done. Like the thought of like, this is over and that he's able to come back healthy enough and give it a chance. So hopefully everything's okay in the minors in the three games he's playing.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
And then we get to see, you know, for them, they get their captain back while also having made, uh, I think like five or six huge deals. They switched up their entire lineup throughout the year. They brought in two new goalies, which is like, you never see that. And then they traded for Charlie Coyle from Boston. They traded for Brock Nelson from the Islanders.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
They made all these deals where like their team's awesome. They traded Rontanen in this huge deal with the Carolina. Got Jack Drury, Martin Natchez, who's been sick with McKinnon. So Colorado to me is, they're the best team in the West. Okay, so that might be my future.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
And if they play Dallas, which I think they will in the first round, one of those kind of unfair, like either team could win the cup and somebody's losing first round.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Exactly.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
So Bettman's been very open with loving this system of having the three division winners, two and three play each other in both, and then one from each division plays the two wild cards. Wild cards, yeah. I get it builds these rivalries, but it also every year knocks out a true cup contender in the first round. Yeah, that seems kind of bullshit. I don't know.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Now, most of the time, if you look at if you did one through eight old school way, I think like... it always kind of ends up being the same anyway. So the argument, it's kind of a moot point. But I don't know. It just sucks for a Dallas Stars fan or an Avs fan that one of them is going home.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
And the reason I'm really kind of hell-bent on Colorado being able to get by them is one of the best defensemen in the league is a Finnish guy, Miro Heskinen for Dallas. He's out. And I don't think he's coming back for the first round. And without him, I think it's going to be tough for them to beat him. I might be an Avs guy.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I have no reason why you could hate him. Do you have his phone number? I do not have his phone number.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Yes, Biz has texted him.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
No, but I... Yeah, everyone says that, and everyone boos him when his name's announced, and I don't think 90% of the people booing would have a reason why they're booing him. It's just fun to boo. It's just like, oh, we're booing Gary Bettman. Okay. But what the game's done, I mean, I don't know. I think he's coming up 25 years, roughly, if you could look that up, maybe, Hank or Max.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I don't want to make you mad, Max. This isn't a prank, but just see how long he's been the commissioner, and the league's been...
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
been pretty outstanding yeah all that time i feel like hockey's in a great place right now he's grown the game enough i mean not just him but he's obviously done a good job how long 93 holy shit yeah wait that's that's 30 years crazy 31 years crazy and i think he's already starting to make it clear he's kind of figuring out an exit path But I don't know.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I guess one complaint would be he was kind of at the helm. Now, granted, because of the owners of getting rid of best on best. It had been since 2014 until we got our exhibition all-star game this year. But now he's back and he's brought it back where we're getting something every two years with the Olympic World Cup. I don't really know why Bettman gets booed off that often.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
O-L-N. The Outdoor Life Network. Yeah, yeah. That was my rookie year. That was so brutal. Nobody could watch it. You couldn't watch hockey. You had Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin as rookies, and you're looking for the Outdoor Life Network.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
There you go.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Yeah. Shut it down. No, I think that you're right. That's what it is. It's been there was a half shortened season. That was at the end of my career. I think that was my second to last year. And then my first year pro, I was in the minors all year, which I might have been anyway, because the whole season was canceled. So that's probably the issue.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
But like any commissioner, it's like, hate the owners. They're literally doing exactly what the owners tell them to do.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
And they're paid handsomely. Yeah, $40 million for him. It's like, okay, I'll take that job in a heartbeat. In a second. Yeah, what else... Yeah, Bettman, I don't know. I mean, the game... Hockey is in such a great place right now. It really is. That's why I hope the playoffs is kind of legendary. It's also one of the reasons he likes the playoff format.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Even though you might lose two cup contenders in the first round, the first round is so watched and anticipated that you know you're going to get some incredible storylines. And he almost looks at it, at least with our podcast last year, we were doing... We do twice a week in the playoffs, and we were doing live shows for at least one of the days a week.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
And we noticed as the playoffs went on and you get to conference finals, which is end of May and cup finals in June, viewership was kind of dropping because I think as the weather changes, unless your team's going, I think a lot of people are kind of like, dude, hockey started 10 months ago.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
It's over. Right. Let's just get on with it. There's going to be two sweeps and a couple in five. Right. Where hockey, it's like... I think that the record might be 7 of 8 went to Game 7. It might have been 6, but this year I wouldn't be surprised at all to see 4 or 5 Game 7s, which is the best thing in the world. The first round, you just get all these eyeballs on the sport.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
betman's done a good job i mean the league's better than than it was when he came in yeah i got a question for you i heard you say this uh you've never had ovion do you ever think you could get over we were talking about this the other day like we have no in whatsoever not one guy that you played with well like oshi i'm very friendly with and like maybe i could be like hey can you ask him but i don't even want to ask oshi to ask him that's um
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Biz and I have kind of like a, not a theory, but a hope that a lot of these guys, when they retire, like Brad Marchand, for example, he's like, I'd love to come on when I retire. Drew Doughty, I'd love to come on when I retire. Now, most of these guys say I'll do a sandbagger right now, but for a long-term sit-down interview, I'll do it when I retire. Maybe we get Ovi.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Now, there's a chance Ovi's back in Russia. Like, I think he's mentioned before he'd like to play one last year in the KHL. He's only ever played for Dynamo Moscow and the Washington Capitals. And it would be pretty sick for Russia if he went back and just did a fun year playing for them. But if he does that, he's probably gone. He's never coming back. He's never coming back.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
His wife's Russian, and he's a god there.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
When you were running by him?
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I saw that clip. Because you recognized his wife.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Hey, he's a monster.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
And I'm guessing his trainers were like, hey, I know we got the stem machine. And he's like, no, no, Russia. We ride bike uphill.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Then what was your approach to ask him for part of my take?
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Oh, oh. No, no.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Yeah. Like, oh, you're really – they don't even consider the real ass.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
you know i don't know if he could do a full interview yeah he might not want to sit here and then just be doing the translations in his head and then like you should be fucking with him too so then he's got to deal with that he wouldn't know you're fucking with him right you know it's like that's a guy though that would just be so incredible to sit down and talk to like the fact that he broke that record i said on i said on spitting chiclets and i was like you guys are gonna make fun of me but like
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I was like emotional watching it. I was sitting there with my – two of my boys and my wife was there and she doesn't care or know about hockey. But for a month, I've been kind of like telling the boys like he scored again. Like eight left, eight left. And then it was perfect because my son had two hockey games that Sunday but it was a 12.30 start. It was right in the middle of the games.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I was like, great. And I'm sitting there and I'm watching and like the way Gretzky spoke and had the Gordie Howe pin and I was just like – Misty-eyed, I'm like, I can't believe I get to... I said, I can't believe I get to play against this guy.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
My whole life, hockey's all I cared about, and Wayne Gretzky's record, nobody will ever beat it, and then I played against this guy who just broke this record that nobody thought would be ever touched. It's just like...
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
crazy to me even now like thinking about it like that like that record was untouchable right there's those moments in sports where you're like I'm lucky enough to see this and I'll never and there'll never probably be someone who breaks his record so it's like I saw that so that that was what I kind of said on chicklets when I was telling the guys like I was sitting there just like
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
you know, emotional about it in a way. And then I had responses on Twitter that's like, well, nobody fucking said that Gretzky's to be broken. I'm like, that's kind of a valid point. Like, maybe... But there was a stat I saw on Twitter that, you know, if there's a 12-year-old phenom out there right now and, like, he's going to be in the NHL in six years, he needs to average 45 a year for 20 years.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Right. And a lot of things have to go right for it to even be close. Right. Which is why Ovi... Now, my dad doesn't like Ovi. I don't really know why. He cheats defensively. You know how dads just pick guys they hate? Cherry picker. Yeah. I'm like, Dad. He plays so physical.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Yeah, he occasionally cheats offensively, and if you score that much, it's like coaches are like, we've got to deal with it. He's been running guys for 20 years. It's one thing if he was perimeter and never hit. It's like, I don't know how he wasn't injured.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
No, he looks horrible. He's just fucking gas and beers, like, two minutes after. Have you seen? There was a clip years ago. He's playing, like... Beach volleyball. That, and he's playing in a Russian, like, soccer league. Yeah. And he just looks like a tank over there. Did you see the... I'm sure, PFT, you saw the April 6th, the day he broke it, all the other April. It's just wild.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
It's just crazy stuff. Very cool. The way it all came down, and then I kind of want him to get the hat trick at home, but then it was almost better that he was in this away building in Long Island. It was half-caps fans, and the tickets were going for $1,000. Nobody would pay to watch the Islanders, and he does it there. Just the coolest story of the season, and we've had a bunch of them.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Yeah, because you can't get an actual ticket anywhere.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I would frame my phone's digital picture before I paid the Islanders 50 bucks to get a pair of tickets into me. The QR code?
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Oh, my God.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Yeah, I don't mind. I'm not a Bruins fan. And Don Sweeney had kind of come at us. I think we had talked about it when Biz and I were here recently. Nobody saw this coming. I mean, I didn't expect him to be that good. Actually, the coolest story of the Bruins season is Pasternak. He has 100 points. The next guy has 55 points. That's crazy.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
He should be probably top five in MVP for what he's done because he has nobody. And yeah, it all ended so quick. And they kind of low-balled Brad Marchand, which I get. You know, Boston people are like, well, that's what Belichick did. Depreciating assets. It's like, well, the Patriots were winning every year. The Bruins won one cup since 1972. Right. It's kind of like... I understand.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
And their ticket prices keep rising. And now... For the Bruins fans, it's kind of an ugly, ugly future. In the trades they made with Coyle and they traded Trent Frederick, they got a really high-scoring kid that's in the USHL now and could end up being a pretty good NHLer. But other than that, it's not like Chicago. They got some big-time prospects coming. Yeah, the defense is looking good.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
San Jose. They got some studs where Boston... And they're going to be top of the draft. And they get another one. Yeah, right. Now, Boston, they actually somehow... It worked out in their favor where when they traded Marchand and Coyle and Frederick and all these guys, they truly tanked the correct way where I think that right now they'd get the fourth overall pick.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
So that's actually like probably what they need. It's just it's probably going to be three years of them picking pretty high. And Bruins fans are not used to that. I mean, as much as I chirp them for getting the one cup since 72, it's they've been to like two other finals and every year since about 2008, they were they were a contender. So they had a good run.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
This draft upcoming, it seems there's a defenseman, this kid Matthew Schaefer, very highly rated. He's been injured all year, but apparently just a complete stud. There's a kid, James Haggins, that played at Boston College this year. But it's one of those prospects coming up the year after that in every sport you hear about, like, wait till he's drafted. It's a kid, Gavin McKenna.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Good hockey name. Great hockey name. Ironically, Conor Bedard's cousin. Oh, okay. Not through blood. I believe through marriage. Okay. Which kind of matters to me a little bit because if it was through blood, I'd be like, what the fuck? Yeah, these freaks. Like, who are these parents? But he is what looks to be one of those McDavid type prospects.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
He had, I think, the record for points in the WHL or maybe the CHL draft plus one a year where he's two years away. I think it had five points a game in the first round of the playoffs. Like, you know, a true possibly game-breaking, you know, generational talent that now next year whoever gets first overall will get. Wow. Okay.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Just a playmaking, like, fast scoring center. Just, like, it sounds like McDavid, which I kind of hate doing because Bedard got unfairly –
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
ranked that way which his numbers are so incredible but the expectations of badard were a little unfair and maybe this is now happening to this kid and you know you end up blaming people like me who are talking about 16 year olds like they're going to change the game but from everything i've heard this this kid's the real deal and now what's interesting is you used to have to if you played in the chl in the ontario quebec or western league you couldn't go to college they changed the rule
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
You can now play NCAA after you play junior. It's really going to screw over American kids, and I didn't think of that and had people reaching out when I was like, this is a good thing. It's going to make college hockey so good, which it will, but American kids are going to get shafted scholarship-wise because now you're getting the best Canadian kids.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
You can, but... A lot of them won't. Yeah, I mean, well, now kids might because then you can go to college. Before, you wouldn't go because you couldn't go to college. But what happens is that now the best Canadian kids will play in those leagues at 17 and 18, and then they'll go to college, and then they'll get a payday to go to college. Right.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
So a lot of American kids are probably going to lose scholarships to some great Canadian players that couldn't otherwise come years before. So people are saying now, Gavin McKenna, like, You can't go back to junior. You just made the biggest mockery of it go to Michigan. Right. Is that what he's doing? No. People are kind of saying it's a rumor, right?
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
But that's a thing as a BU hockey fan, which they're in the Frozen Four this afternoon or this evening. We don't have a football program. Every Big Ten school, your guys at Wisconsin can turn really back into powerhouse because they're going to have huge dough. I heard a rumor that Michigan has $700,000 a year to give to hockey players. I mean, Dave...
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
And Larry Ellison, maybe he would be so specific with his money, like this is going to football. Yeah, but that means there's more money. Yeah, he just might give them $10 million and then they decide.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I've heard that.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
So it's almost like I don't understand. It's... I actually love the fact that college kids are getting paid because forever it's like they're bringing in so much money to the school. I get it. But my problem is the transfer portal. And in all these sports and now I'm more specific to hockey, but like give them one transfer. No doubt.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
You know, freshman year, you don't love the situation, but you can't be transferring every year. I think it's ridiculous. I think being a coach of a college team now is harder than a pro because not only are you recruiting, you're also like,
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
oh i gotta figure out a way to keep guys free agency every year it's free agency every year and it's it's just kind of i don't know for hockey at least me it's like and the other thing at least hockey wise like you find out who's on the portal list like before the ncaa so then it's like well i don't want to play this kid he's leaving yeah that's the same as basketball basketball too yeah no there's so much coaches find out yeah a penn state yeah the penn state backup quarterback
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
It sucks. It's stupid. And I love how guys are getting paid, but it's kind of just too crazy for me. Maybe I sound like a boomer. No, I get it.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Why would they not make that list go public after the bowl?
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
What was the Cardell Jones quote?
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I mean, the fact that I don't think he was kidding makes it even funnier. Oh, he was dead serious. Yeah, dead serious. I didn't come here to play school. All right, I got one last question. That was me at BU.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I actually... I never was like ineligible. Yeah. But the problem was I left after my junior year. And then, you know, like my wife now is like, oh, you just have a year left. You got to go back and graduate. No, I'm through sophomore year.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Yeah. So imagine the content. I know. It goes back to school. School's hard.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
It's hard. Or like studying. I don't know if I could do that. But I feel bad. I promised my parents when I left school. They've said, promise me you'll go back and graduate. And my wife's brought it up. And I'm like, oh, my God. Like, I want to do it like deep down. But I'm like, I don't think I got it. It would be incredible. You got it. Yeah. No, you don't got it. No, I don't. I don't got it.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
So that was the other problem, was that I was in College of Arts and Sciences. I was a sociology major, like one of those, like, hey, what's the easiest major? But at BU, in that school, you had to pass Spanish 4. Oh, that's hard, yeah. And I failed.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I dropped Spanish 2 three different times. I'm like, how am I going to get through 4? I couldn't even make it through 2. Let's start with English one. And also, yeah. Also, like, come on. Like, you're telling me to get a degree, you have to pass Spanish. That's doing nothing for you. So dumb.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
You never want to do it together. Fuck no, I'd have to go for three and a half years.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I know, me too. Someday you're going to have kids. And then my kids, I know, are like, Dad, did you ever graduate college? I got to do it. You do too. I don't think kids. I'm 2013. But hold on. Time out. Time out.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
No, I know. I know. It's way cooler than I went to Barstool U. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I made up a lie that I know how to edit videos, and I really rocked through that school of hard knocks.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
So let's go back together. The other cool thing about BU is that, so I was given a full scholarship. That still, to this day, is honored. Oh, so if you want to go back to school, it's free. It's free, too, which makes it even cooler. You got to go. I know. You could find a couple classes.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I do not think I could make the team. So did you guys know about, like, club hockey and, like, what it's turned into? Feidelberg.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Yeah. I'm talking Georgia just built a rink.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
No, I think they've been D1, like, I think, like, over 10 years. Oh, okay. But it was... Like it started that UNLV club team beat Denver this year. Most of these schools, like I'm talking Georgia, Tennessee, UNLV, they have three teams. They have 120 kids come to tryouts.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
And then it's competitive to now it's gone to the point where hockey players that are leaving high school, no matter what, unless you are one of these, you know, possibly NHL future studs, you have to play junior for two, if not three years to play D3 hockey. D3. You got to go play junior for two years. Really? Yeah. Crazy.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
So now what it's turning into is kids like, I don't really want to go play in the North American League or the British Columbia Hockey League, be a 21-year-old freshman. I'm going to go play club hockey. And it's turned into something where, I mean, there are 5,000 people watching Georgia club hockey. The students don't know.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
What it would be is a club hockey kid takes the step to a varsity team. You know what I mean? It wouldn't be like a pro deal out of club hockey.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Possibly. That's a great, because you know, if we're talking about Ovi breaking records and his record being broken, there's going to be some club hockey player that plays in the NHL.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
yeah it's some kid who was you know decent in high school but then maybe got bigger or stronger or faster played club hockey and everyone's like holy shit who is this kid a guy i know at home um his son was you know a good high school hockey player and but didn't want to do the grind of junior hockey and and um so he went out and they visited oklahoma state and there was a 500 person line to get out into the arena three hours before the game the
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
And it's like – that is so sick because not only is it – you get to enjoy college a little more because it's not like that serious. It's still serious. Right. As dumb as that sounds. There's still people watching. There's still people watching and you still have your teammates.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
And I think like I've talked to some club – the Georgia club hockey team I ran into at my brother's bachelor party, which was at a Georgia game. And they were like – the girls think we're like –
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
fucking be you like they don't know like there's 4 000 people at the game like these guys are pro hockey players yeah that's like has there ever been an emergency backup goalie that got a contract no no because it's always like i mean that's an all-time leafs thing right there their backup goalie beat them Yeah. I mean, they're, they're, I'm sorry. They're Zamboni driver beat them. Yeah. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
For the hurricane. Oh my God. But no, the, yeah, the third string goalie thing is still a funny story. Cause there's a lot of people who want it banned where you're allowed. I know it's the coolest story. It happens once a year, maybe. And it's for that week you get to talk about it.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Yeah. Right.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Yes, please, please.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I know. Maybe get him just for a period. How about Ian's giving you Oldie? Dude, he's the best.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
And it was funny because when you came out with the video or whatever it was, we need a Canadian. Keith sent us right away to the Chicklets chat. He's like, I have the perfect human being for them. Yeah. And then it was exactly how he described it.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
No, I'm not. I also love the fact, and I don't know Rick Nash super well, but friendly with him, and he's so quiet and calm, and they're best friends. I'm like, dude, how are you two best friends?
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Yance said, what did he say? Oh, Yance doesn't have Twitter. And I'm like, dude, Oldie gets numbers. What do you mean? I'm like, dude, he has over 1,000 likes on him. He goes, he's electric.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Are you? Yeah. I love it.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
no i think i said you saw the pouch though right yes i only knew about like keith meeting him with he was dancing in front of the rangers when his son was due or his daughter was yeah that day he's gotta go hey gotta go boys gotta go what are you gonna say max so he stayed up for hank and i's barcel after dark the other night 4 a.m we finished and then he tweeted something three hours later from the job site he's just
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Yeah, I root for Ludwig. Okay. Ever since he's come on the scene, he's just kind of like, I don't know, like perfect golf swing, and I like him a lot. And then I've been so back and forth with Rory, which I feel like a lot of golf fans have been based on. He's made comments that are just kind of a clown comment, but then he comes out and changes his tune. It's all live-related.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
But as much as I sometimes say, like, oh, fuck Rory, if he had a one-shot lead on the 18th tee, like, I know I'd be rooting for him. You'd be rooting for him? Even if he was playing with Ludwig. Like, for some reason. And I think part of it is, like, the history thing with Obi. Like, I think five guys have won the Grand Slam in golf. Like, I'd like to be able to say I watched that.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
And I don't know. I think Rory just...
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
he's hot right now he's three under through nine nice and he just i don't know it's like crazy so do you know that when tiger won the u.s open on the broken leg and then he didn't win another major after his life fell apart till the masters in 19 rory is at the same length of time between a major no way that's crazy tiger layout felt a lot longer and rory's been healthy the whole time and his wife didn't catch him cheating and beat him with a nine iron like right it's almost like there was like excuses with tiger
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
So to see if Rory could do it again, it'd be a pretty amazing just sports story.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Yeah, because he took the guy's phone and he's like... But if he blows it, you're like, this guy can't do it anymore.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
So if he had a five-footer Sunday to win it, and if he misses it, he loses it. I think I'd root for it too. Which I guess doesn't make sense because if he made it.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
So you don't like him. Yeah, I guess I don't. You don't like him.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I know. And then for some reason, like, I've actually chirped Bryson DeChambeau before on Chicklets, but, like, now I find myself rooting for him, too.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I think that it's been said, at least, like, he legit hired a PR firm. Yeah, absolutely. Which is so, to me, like... to be such a dickhead that you have to hire someone and be like, make me not a dickhead. How weird is that? Make people like me? How much of a weirdo are you? How can I get people to like me?
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
then you know like oh they like me now but like i i didn't know what to do to make them like i had to pay somebody yeah you gotta keep paying them in case because if you get rid of them then what happens if you slip up and you're a rich kid at school like paying kids to hang out with them friends with them yeah i do have one last hockey question for you do you don't have an mvp vote right i last year i i had a vote do you have one this year um he has not asked me again but he didn't ask me last year until like two days before the regular season ended so i might who should the mvp should have been for this year
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I'm an Oilers guy, and Leon Dreisaitl has just, to me, been the best player in the league, the most valuable player to the Oilers. McDavid's had this great year still, but not McDavid. And then he's leading the league in goals by a lot. You know, they recently had an enormous game against Calgary. McDavid's out. He'd been out injured.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
He comes back, two goals and an assist, including the game-tying, game-winning goal. It's like he's just, to me, the best player. But recently, Kucherov is now – I voted for Kucherov last year instead of McKinnon. McKinnon won because Kucherov last year became the fourth winger, I think, ever to have 100 assists. The fourth player ever to have 100 assists.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
And then McDavid did it like a week later. But I was like, Kucherov's just so dominating. And now it's like you really can argue for McKinnon, Kucherov, and Dreisaitl. There's a right answer there on all of them. But mom, Leon.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I am too. I guess you're not as big. He's in the league.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Of all time.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
On his team. That's crazy. I was at game seven. Wait, that's crazy. I was at game seven. Who won? The Panthers. Oh. And I was sitting there. And all I was thinking about was you two. I literally, as the fucking national anthem was playing, I was like, those assholes. I'm going to have a tweet. I'm going to have a video. And I already knew he had the Conn Smythe wrapped up.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
And I was like, they have nothing on me. And we just went through this whole episode, and you said nothing until the very end. You know what's fucked up, though? You guys are the biggest losers.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
You forced me, based on how you've handled this McDavid situation, to hope that the Bears and Caleb Williams, I didn't care about the Bears, and now I hate them. That's true friendship. And now it's like, you fucking asshole. I can't even think Connor McDavid is good. McDavid is so good.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Gretzky didn't win the MVP every year. Yeah, I would vote for him every year.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
He won the exhibition. I don't know if they can get it done this year either. It doesn't look like this is the year.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Colorado, Toronto, Colorado beats them. That's some sick stuff. Be an awesome series. Yeah. And that's if only I'm saying that is if Florida and Tampa play in the first round because I don't think Toronto can beat one of those teams unless that they kick the shit out of each other first.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
That's interesting because I just – So I have a bunch of like – Side notes here.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I know. I think that's interesting. You know what? When the Caps win it all, you can just call me and be like, follow me on Twitter, bitch.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
There we go.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
I never, ever purposely unfollowed.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Oh, no. Colorado and Southern. Or, sorry, Toronto and Colorado. Yeah, two Southern teams with biz.
Pardon My Take
Ryan Whitney, Someone Peed At The Masters, Luka’s Return + Fyre Fest Of The Week
Thanks, Whit. Thanks, guys.
