Chapter 2: How did Tony's heyday at ESPN influence his perspective on current players?

470.445 - 485.44 Greg Cody

No, no, hell no. It would be the equivalent of playing against Zazlo as a junior. North Miami Beach versus Killian. I don't know what those schools are now in basketball. North Miami Beach has any kind of basketball history? No, no. It was you.

0

485.68 - 503.244 Matthew Berry

Killian has a very rich basketball history. And in that time, we had actually our rival school, Palmetto High School, literally separated by two and a half miles from the schools. Timmy Hardaway Jr. was their best player. And so we went against Timmy three, four, five times a year in different tournaments and district games, whatever.

0

503.264 - 513.421 Matthew Berry

We lost our district championship in that year to Timmy, who had 45, was shooting from half court the entire time. We played those Miami High teams that had their championships stripped. Steve Blake, Udonis Haslund.

0

513.441 - 513.922 Greg Cody

Go to teams.

0

514.002 - 514.904 Matthew Berry

We played against those teams.

514.924 - 522.5 Greg Cody

I have erred, okay, in a number of different ways over the course of my career and recent weeks and today most of all as I stumble to the finish line.

522.52 - 524.965 Matthew Berry

I was going to say, man, you're bringing out all the tricks.

524.945 - 534.434 Greg Cody

Just talking about Killian North Miami Beach and your high school years before the biggest game in 20 years for the University of Miami and probably for Texas A&M as well.

534.995 - 551.07 Greg Cody

I have not played enough the sound of a drunk Greg Cody trying to bring this game to life from the seat of an Uber on a long drive home with his son badgering him in the middle of the night wearing holiday clothes that he doesn't like to be in because he wants to be wearing a baseball cap.

Chapter 3: What are the contrasting views on load management in sports?

646.67 - 649.995 Greg Cody

And that's not even with Smith and Jigba doing anything last night.

0

650.275 - 666.518 Matthew Berry

They had no business. They had no business winning that game last night at the Seattle. I mean, Darnold throws the interception down two scores. Down two scores with two two-point conversions. They're down with nine, ten minutes left. And he throws the interception, a terrible interception, on the goal line. And they still managed to come back and win.

0

666.538 - 673.768 Greg Cody

Wherever it is that you can't predict turnovers, but you can predict more probable for Darnold to turn them over than for Stafford.

0

673.748 - 697.951 Amin Elhassan

Yeah, and Stafford had 457 yards last night without Devontae Adams. And imagine coming up with that on the fly, finding guys like Davis Allen, finding guys like Tony Ferguson, whatever brother Ferguson's name is. Terrence Ferguson. Tony Ferguson, UFC fighter. Yeah, oh yeah. But yeah, bro, I think Matthew Stafford, He might have cemented himself into the MVP conversation. With the loss?

0

697.971 - 712.668 Amin Elhassan

With the loss, as well as Sean McVay. It's going to be hard-pressed to name this coach of the year this year. Imagine the Seahawks. Imagine what they're doing in Chicago. Who is the coach of the year? I can't tell you right now. Vrabel, too, is doing a great job.

712.708 - 717.053 Greg Cody

No, I just love the take, though, that Stafford won the MVP in a loss.

718.18 - 731.266 Amin Elhassan

Right. And also, too, that people not talking about enough. The 49ers right now have an opportunity to win out and play every single game, including the Super Bowl at home throughout the playoffs. Never been done. Amazing.

732.067 - 750.156 Greg Cody

The other thing I was going to say, though, about however you analyze things that are as random as turnovers. What do you do, Zazzle, as a college football expert, insider, and journalist? Marcel Reed throws a lot of interceptable passes. Not all of them have been intercepted. He's got 10 turnovers. He's good for one a game.

750.556 - 767.781 Greg Cody

And in the last few games, he's had more than you would think he should have. Miami's got a good pass rush. Where it is that this game is obviously going to be decided, like all games, are who's going to turn the ball over. Miami lost when it turned the ball over four times against Louisville. That's how they're going to lose.

Chapter 4: Which NFL games are crucial for playoff implications?

819.285 - 837.333 Matthew Berry

Well, don't pay attention to the score there, all right, because that was a James Jones-led American high, all right? What are we going to do against all-county James Jones? But look right there in the box score. Zaslow. Two! That's right! You scored two against James Jones. Yeah, you see James Jones right there. He was 17 or 14. I don't know which one was him.

0

837.614 - 843.884 Matthew Berry

But yeah, James Jones had himself a game. Me right there. So I countered his 17 with two.

0

843.944 - 870.101 Greg Cody

This is something Greg Cody loves to write of newspaper that looks like this. That's me! The color of unbrushed teeth. Because gaming 20 years. Listen to me through teeth that are unbrushed. Because gaming 20 years. That smell like 40 Miller Lights brought by Sniper, media founder, and his high-powered lawyer wife. Because gaming 20 years. Texas A&M and UM is what?

0

870.461 - 871.383 Unknown

Because gaming 20 years.

0

871.403 - 878.715 Greg Cody

For which of the two teams? Because gaming 20 years. Texas A&M doesn't win 10 games a season, Zaslow. Not even with Manziel.

878.695 - 893.856 Matthew Berry

Tony, do you have your name in a newspaper like that? I do, back in the day. That's before the internet. We would have the names of the newspapers. I actually have my name as like an eighth grader. You know, call out to you, 28 points, whatever. Marty Supreme, Christmas Day. Marty Supreme, Christmas Day. Marty Supreme, Christmas Day. Marty Supreme, Christmas Day.

894.337 - 909.319 Matthew Berry

You know what I'm going to be doing on Christmas Day. And it's going to be watching Marty Supreme. Because I didn't even need to know that critics were calling Marty Supreme a full throttle masterpiece and the best movie of the year. I already knew that was going to be the case.

909.76 - 922.827 Matthew Berry

From A24 and starring Timothy Chalamet, alongside powerhouse cast Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa Ozion, and Tyler Okoma, Marty Supreme, Christmas Day, only in theaters.

1071.391 - 1090.243 Matthew Berry

Dan, they pulled up Tony's stats here, and the more I've been thinking about it, these are pretty good stats, man. First of all, shot 40% from three on good volume, 60 attempts in only 16 games. Second of all, when you take out those three-point attempts, guess what your field goal percentage is? 55% from the field. This guy was an efficient player, and he bangs on the boards too.

1090.564 - 1096.114 Matthew Berry

What's that, six and a half rebounds a game? Somewhere I had a double-double. Somewhere maybe I didn't go after him as much.
