00:00Good morning, everybody, man. Stay dry.
00:03We know when DirecTV goes out, there's light rain ahead.
00:08That's true. If you have the dish, everybody's very aware of that.
00:12The one big problem they have. And I always had bad timing with it.
00:17You're at a sports bar and that's the only thing they have and the whole thing goes out.
00:21And the best part of the game's coming up and you've been waiting and here we are.
00:25Two minutes left. And pop, it goes out.
00:28What an old-ass technology, though.
00:33I mean, come on.
00:35I don't think I ever took my dish down from years ago.
00:39I think it's still stuck on the back of the house.
00:41Really?
00:43Keep it up there. It's a collective item.
00:45Rusted out, yeah. Who knows? Maybe that thing will be worth money down the road, right?
00:49Anyway.
00:49You show people in a few years, this is how we used to watch TV.
00:52Yeah, this was it. Now it's, yeah, you're right. You're right.
00:56It's a tough way to go.
00:58Hey, so anyway, we've got, I want to get back to this Lamar thing for just a second.
01:05Again, Mike Irvin.
01:07And they're getting it going on the show and, you know, passionate about this.
01:11And Lamar makes a lot of money.
01:14Lamar, remember we were all getting on him about what are you doing?
01:17And he was holding out and, I don't know, was his mom doing his deal or somebody?
01:22And like, what are you doing, Lamar?
01:24And it ended up working out for him, right?
01:26Ended up working out for him.
01:27But he's making a lot of money and he's missed a lot of games.
01:32And he was an ankle and then very first pass, those, not his fault.
01:38You throw and hit your finger on somebody's helmet or shoulder or body as they're coming into you.
01:44And that was it.
01:45So, I guess he's getting surgery here real soon on his hand.
01:49And that's going to be it for the season.
01:52So, now everybody's speculating.
01:55Played his last game at Baltimore.
01:57And they're going to have to move on and get a quarterback.
02:01So, 29 years old.
02:05And, again, he is part of the problem of being a great running quarterback.
02:09And I've seen Lamar slow down.
02:11He's not, he doesn't run like the same Lamar.
02:14I saw that show up close and I saw a perfect quarterback rating.
02:18One of five or six that I've seen in my life.
02:21One from a Dolphins quarterback.
02:24And a four or five, I've seen, who have we seen do it to us?
02:28We've seen Josh Allen had one or two against us.
02:32The perfect, the 150-something QB rating.
02:36And I believe Lamar's had two against us.
02:38He had one here.
02:40And he had one in the cold.
02:41Lamar has crushed us, yeah.
02:41And he had the cold weather game.
02:44And we were both playing for best record.
02:47And then ours collapsed and they went on to get the best record.
02:51And they lost in the playoffs.
02:52I mean, he'd be the most accomplished quarterback that's been in here since 13.
02:56There's no question about that.
02:57If you were to bring him in.
02:59I don't even know that it's doable.
03:00Yeah, I don't either.
03:01So, you know.
03:02I'm with you.
03:03I get the hypothetical.
03:04Like, it does feel like he needs a change of scenery, right?
03:07I don't see Lamar looking at himself going, you know, I'm 29 years old.
03:12I know I have to take less money to go somewhere and play.
03:15Do you?
03:16No, I don't.
03:18I don't think he's at that point.
03:19I just don't even know how realistic it is to begin with.
03:22So, before we, you know.
03:23No, no, no, no.
03:24Go down that road.
03:25I only brought it up because.
03:26No, I know Mike brought it up.
03:27Michael brought it up.
03:28And I went, there's two Broward County dudes.
03:31That's, you know.
03:32I know Michael knows all the guys.
03:34And with that, there he goes.
03:36We also have learned that these guys aren't going to sign or draft guys just because they're from here.
03:40No.
03:41We learned that during the draft, right?
03:42No, no.
03:43It's always been that way.
03:44Matter of fact, sometimes it frustrates people down here that they don't take Kane's guys from down here.
03:48Conspiracy.
03:49Yeah.
03:50Guys trying to block it out and not take guys and the whole thing through the year.
03:55Hey, man, there are a few guys I would have loved to have had that they passed on because there
04:00have been a lot of Miami Hurricane guys that have been really good.
04:03Really good in the NFL.
04:05They seem to hit there when they were really good.
04:08They seem to hit whether you were a first round pick or a third or fourth round pick.
04:12It didn't matter.
04:13How about Frank Gore?
04:14Frank Gore, third round pick.
04:16Remember ACL on both knees.
04:19Damaged goods.
04:21I don't think he ever got hurt in the NFL.
04:23No.
04:24Played for 19,000 years, man.
04:27The guy was still going.
04:29And by the way, I saw him the other day.
04:30He looks great.
04:31Yeah.
04:31Still looks like he makes working out a priority.
04:35He's still out there with us.
04:36He got into boxing or something, didn't he, for a little bit?
04:40Did he?
04:41I think he did.
04:42I got confused.
04:43We've had a couple guys that have tried the boxing thing.
04:47That's a whole different world, that conditioning and late in your career after you've just put in all that work
04:54and to keep trying to do it.
04:56You need that one payday.
04:57You go fight Jake Paul.
04:59Yeah, fight him.
04:59I saw Floyd found someone to fight out.
05:02It was in Saudi Arabia or something.
05:04Yeah, but if I hear somebody's going to Saudi Arabia to do something, that's a money grab.
05:10Yeah, that's 100% money grab.
05:12I'm going to play soccer.
05:14Okay, Ronaldo.
05:15They're paying $300 million.
05:18Yeah, okay.
05:19I get it.
05:20I do the same thing.
05:22Go over there.
05:22Play.
05:23Play with your team over there, man.
05:25Go ahead and get them.
05:26But yeah, that's...
05:28I hope he's not broken.
05:30I got to tell you.
05:30Floyd Mayweather?
05:32Because, you know...
05:33He's very impressive.
05:34They were saying that his guy ripped him off for a lot of money, his agent, and the guy
05:38that handles his stuff.
05:39And I was like, you know, we talk one day about a guy blowing $200 or $300 million, which
05:45is still really hard to comprehend, that somebody could blow that much money.
05:51You got to be a real jack-off to jerk that much money out of your pocket.
05:57Well, I said.
05:58You're a wordsmith.
05:59It's a fight in...
06:00Actually, not in Saudi Arabia.
06:02I apologize.
06:02He's doing an...
06:03It's an exhibition, a warm-up fight, and it's in Bangkok.
06:07Oh, yeah.
06:08Thailand?
06:09Yep.
06:09Yep.
06:11But why?
06:12Why are you doing this, man?
06:13Why Bangkok?
06:14Or why...
06:15Why are you still doing it?
06:16He's 50 years old now, isn't he?
06:18Close to it?
06:19Ah, 49.
06:20What are we doing?
06:22He's going to fight Ryan Garcia, I guess, right?
06:24Is that the...
06:25You realize...
06:26The goal here?
06:26Yeah, he's going to fight Ryan Garcia in 2027.
06:28I think it's fair to say...
06:30I'd watch that.
06:31He's made more money than any fighter in the history of fighting.
06:36I think that's...
06:37I think...
06:37I mean, I would imagine.
06:39I think it was at a billion dollars.
06:42I think he's made...
06:42Jake Paul might give him a run for his money at this point.
06:44I think he's made over a billion dollars a fighter.
06:48He cannot.
06:49And I know he likes his toys, and he likes his...
06:51You know, I guess the garage was full of, like, $500,000 toys.
06:55But, man...
06:57Floyd Mayweather has earned over a billion dollars.
07:00Yeah.
07:01Wow.
07:02Can't be broke.
07:03$1.1 billion.
07:05You got to be doing this...
07:07You know what number two is?
07:08For what sport?
07:10Boxing.
07:12I'm going to say...
07:14Who recently?
07:14Old guy.
07:15A guy who's just fighting, like, into his 60s.
07:18Not the Mexican...
07:19Not the...
07:20Not Canelo.
07:21Manny Pacquiao.
07:22Pacquiao?
07:23Yeah.
07:23$700 million.
07:26Mike Tyson, almost $700 million.
07:28Canelo's at about $500 million.
07:30I got to tell you, I watched the Tyson documentary last night.
07:33Not to...
07:33I've gone way off what I was going to talk about.
07:35How is that, by the way?
07:37If you like Mike...
07:38And I like his story.
07:40What he did...
07:40Hell, he was champion.
07:41World champion.
07:42What?
07:4219 years old?
07:43Yeah.
07:43He's got some bad stuff in there, too.
07:44And I was lucky enough because we had to deal with cable back when you could do things.
07:49And remember, the cable operators paid for you to go to Vegas.
07:53So I got to see three Tyson fights.
07:57Wow, really?
07:57Yeah.
07:58Well, don't worry.
07:58You had to get there quickly because they all ended the same.
08:01They were all done quickly.
08:03There was no upsets and there was no...
08:05Nobody saw the second round.
08:07They were quick.
08:09Like, get there early, get in your seat and watch.
08:12You know, he's a rock star.
08:13I mean, he was...
08:14So anyway, they catch all that stuff.
08:16But yeah, man, what a sad background.
08:19It's just...
08:20He did that Broadway show, that one-man show, which was excellent.
08:23He got pretty choked up, too, about a lot of stuff.
08:26He had him stop the camera.
08:27He said, don't ask me that question again.
08:29I don't want to...
08:30Yeah, I don't have to watch that one.
08:31No, it's man.
08:32What he did, though, with...
08:33Was it Jake Paul, right?
08:34The one that he fought?
08:35It was shameful.
08:37Where he's kind of...
08:38You know, they faked the whole thing, kind of.
08:42They're dancing around.
08:43And I was just...
08:44Only in America was part of it, too.
08:46Don King.
08:47Yeah.
08:48That's where I turned it off on...
08:50I had to go.
08:51It wasn't I turned off because it was Don King.
08:54Interesting dude himself.
08:55But openly admitted, yeah, I ripped off a lot of guys.
08:58I did.
08:58But they still got more money.
09:00When I ripped them off, what I was giving them was more than they were going to make.
09:02That's how he looked at it.
09:04They were saying he said that.
09:06I was like, what?
09:07Yeah, I know what I owed him, but I didn't pay him that.
09:09Yeah, I ripped them off a little bit, but they still made a lot of money from what I did
09:12for them.
09:13Maybe the greatest promoter of all time, Don King.
09:16So, anyway, yeah, I was into it because I used to love all the fights.
09:18And when I got down here and all the great fighters, a lot of them were down here, man.
09:23We got a great time down here for a bunch of great fighters.
09:29And just a great time down here.
09:33When they had fights, they were always good ones.
09:35And I don't mean just heavyweight fights.
09:38All the, they were great.
09:40Right across the board.
09:41Middleweight, didn't matter.
09:42It was great stuff.
09:43Let's go.
