Hello, hello, hello. Adacity is running. I'm now starting the recording.

I find a sketch we bring for ruffle, ruffle, ruffle. So, baby, for the king, ruffle, ruffle, ruffle, ruffle, ruffle, ruffle, ruffle, ruffle, ruffle, ruffle. So, I'm now here for ruffle, ruffle, ruffle, ruffle.

It is eight o'clock on the east coast. It is five o'clock on the west coast. Wherever you are at any other time zone, look at your watch.

It'll let you know. If you're listening to this on the archive, same deal. Look at your watch.

It is Tuesday night. It is the 21st of December in the year of our Lord 2010, which means it is time for the clubhouse with Robin Cody. I am Rob, as always, I am joined by Cody.

Hello. It's the first day of winter. Happy winter.

Happy winter solstice, too. It is. Yeah, first day of winter and it's shortest day of the year.

Yes. Although I can't really tell. Yeah.

I'm not having that Christmas feeling here locally. We will in a couple of days. Yeah.

I believe that. But those of you that don't know here in Dallas, it is very warm right now. It's short weather.

I grew up with this. I don't want to be around this. I want seasons.

But this weekend is going to get really warm. We're going to have a really nice cold Christmas day, so I'm looking forward to that. We welcome you to episode 24, the week of the 24th of December, which is Christmas Eve coming up in three days.

Christmas edition. Yeah, I'm very excited about the show. We got a lot to get to, so let's go ahead and get to it.

As always, we start with corrections. I did call Pricewaterhouse this weekend. They said there was one.

Was there really? Yes, there was. I don't know.

You are stuck on this three division NFL thing, where you said last week that Chicago was going to win the central division. There is no more central division in the NFL at all. The show was in the NFC North, but you know, it was a better world.

It was a simpler time. It was a better world when all that was going on. And then you know, it's Charleston, our course.

Hey, the big win. The only team to walk into that later on, but the only team to clinch the division. That's true.

Well, no, there's another one. Oh, yeah, New England. But in the NFC, the only team to clinch the division.

But other than that, we were clean. We hope you enjoyed last week's show. We hope you enjoyed this week's show.

Yes. As we get into acting one of this thing, as we always do, as we do, variety. Variety.

Variety is what we... Is that the spice of life, you know? And the agony of defeat.

Much like you're dealing with right now in the next section of this thing. Yes. We always start with sports, as we do right here on the clubhouse with Robin Cody.

And as we always start, we start with the NFL. Not... Don't know if this is a shocker.

Last week, Jake Glazer on Twitter, reporting that Eric Mangini will be out of his job with Cleveland at the end of the season. Do you really get rid of this guy? I mean, it's Cleveland.

I just hope Holmgren doesn't try the whole coach manager. General manager. Jerry thing?

Yeah. Well, not. They don't well pretty much, but Jerry wants.

I could see him doing that though, but I thought Cleveland, all things considered at five and nine. You could have worse years. You could have worse years.

That shocks me that we're... to the point now where he's going to be fired. I don't know.

If they do, I want them to promote Rex Ryan's brother. Rob Ryan. I think that would be a great...

I still think you need to see them in the same place at the same time. You talk about twins. I think he's ready.

He's been Oakland a few years, then with Cleveland for a few years. And I want to say he was in Philly at one time with his dad or something. I think he's ready.

I don't know if you saw there was another headline that hit after we ran the run sheet today. Rumors coming out of Cincinnati. T.O.

Thanks for stopping by. But hey, no matter Hall of Famer. Well, anybody else take him?

Or did he have to go to Oakland now? I don't know. I thought he was...

what's bad about that situation is he was the only bright spot on that whole team. Well, my thing with him is... you do fine until you start running your app.

When you go on your television show, which is unnationally syndicated or... or face-to-cable versus... and start running your app...

that's what gets him in trouble. And I don't know if he thinks it's cute... or what his deal is.

But T.O. I mean, we always say he's out of options. Somebody will take him.

Yeah. Well, I'll tell you this. That is a bad football team.

Yes, sir. With or without him? Without him, it's worse.

I'll be curious to kind of see how they... they regroup and circle the wagons on that thing. And...

Are Ocho Cinco's days numbered now? They have to be. He is one of the most overrated.

He's a marketing genius. Oh, absolutely. But as a football player, he's extremely overrated, I think.

And in... in my opinion, you know... he doesn't show up in big games.

Every time I saw him this year, he was dropping a pass or getting... nailed. Yeah.

I mean, just... But there's nobody that's really gonna... Yeah.

That's gonna be a team with a very different look... between... I think...

I think the coach is gone. I think that's kind of run its course. So, you know, there was...

remember, and you take you back four or five years ago... this was a team going, hey man, they're one guy way. They're gonna be in the Super Bowl.

Yep. I mean, I remember when they were on hard knocks last year. I mean, this was a team that a lot of folks thought...

this team's one guy way. And apparently, that one guy has not shown up yet. Yes, we're still waiting for that.

One guy. Defense, not good. Carson Palmer.

I don't know if he's colorblind or what. He just can't keep it out of the other guy's hands. He has no trophy when winning.

Yeah. USC. He has no trophy when he quarterbacks.

Well, but he had been a flop. And he's done more than Andre Ware and... Chris Winky.

Rex Grossman. Rex Grossman. Yeah.

Do you win a husband? Rex Grossman? I thought he did now.

Maybe he was supposed to that year that took over. That's maybe that's what I'm thinking. Put a bullet in the program for two years.

You got these at this next thing to me in an email earlier today. Yes. And I'm very intrigued by this.

According to... Chris Mortensen. Very reliable.

Very reliable. I follow him on Twitter. Um, Cowards ready to get back in the game.

I think his daughter... As you know, as we all know, one of the things he got out was family time. Yep.

Um, he's got a list. There are only three teams on it. Bring it.

New York. Miami. He's...

Jester Giants. Giants. Dolphins.

Texans. Yeah. One of these kids is doing his own thing on that list.

Says Houston has one of the... Houston's actually his number one preferred place. Huh.

I guess because there's not the pressure of the New York media and there's no Jerry. Well, also, um... I think Houston's got a great team.

I think that they're badly coached. Kubiak. I think your days are numbered sooner than later.

Is he the grizzly man? No. So that's all right.

That's a bad joke. Yeah, I apologize. Um, New York.

If you... Well, you know Coffin's done. If they don't make the playoffs.

I think if they make the playoffs, he's safe. There's rumors now that Miami, Spirano, and the General Manager are done. They're fixing the house clean that deal.

Um... I... I wouldn't camp a guy yet.

I mean, it's not like they were one in 15 again. But yeah, I think... I think he's back.

He's back in the game. But that's three of his teams. I'm glad to hear no Carolina.

Yeah, I thought Carolina would be a bad idea. Kubiak fans, he was a pike dream at best. Yeah, I don't think he winds up in Dallas.

Um... I think that he lands at one of these three spots. Houston's stupid if they don't fire Kubiak.

I think Houston's probably the best place for him. Yeah, but... Did you see the post-game press conference for Eli Manning on Sunday?

There was one reporter in the room. One in the front row. The Yankee town.

But it's still the New York media. Which way you look at it. I don't care if you play Tiddly Wings on 53rd and Broadway.

It's still the New York media. But I would... I would scratch New York Johns off.

I would say he ends up in Miami or Houston. I'll take him. I'll take him for my dogs at a heartbeat.

But mine, here's my deal with Cower. Good. They are overrated.

The guys got rings. He's got A-ring. He's got A-ring.

Okay. But he's a great motivator. Does this NFL let him stay somewhere 10 years without winning the Super Bowl?

Is he one of 10-year deal? No, I'm just saying. I don't know if too many teams...

I don't know that Cower's got 10 years in me. But I'm just saying it took him along. It's not like he...

Pittsburgh was a three-year project. It took him along. How long did it give Spirato?

Isn't this his third season? Yeah. Cower's not going to Super Bowl in three years.

But I think if you go somewhere like Miami or Houston, the playoffs is good enough to give you another year. Yeah. But you make a hire like that.

You pay a coach $10 million, which is what he's asking. Per year for contract. Contract.

For how long? That's good. I don't know.

He's 10 millions where he's going to start. I don't know if you're going to have him hang around 10-13 years and finally win the Super Bowl. Can you convince him to get that contract incentive late?

Oh, I don't know. But this is a... Because I think if you can do that, I think that you're at least making a decent investment at that point.

This is a... What have you done for me lately, League? This is a...

What have you done for me lately? World. Yeah.

Not just football. And I just... Every sport.

And I just... My cat's these older coaches and iscos for college and pro. Some of these guys that just think they're going to roll in here and, and...

They'll give me three years to... They're not going to give you three years to build it. It is...

Win now. So I've always been a critic of his. I like the guy...

I've never been sold on him. Pittsburgh's mascot's modeled after him. Yeah.

I've just never been a fan. I've never been really sold on him. I like him.

So I'll take him on my team effort. He's better than come to Miami. Yeah, there's only about five or six good coaches in a fell anyway Yeah, so but yeah, he's he's he's enough great for anybody else, but I just I don't know if Bill Cower equals A ring And I think people who want him there need to kind of get that out of his head the out of their head Well, I think that in sports and we just talked about this I think we need to get back to that we and we talked about this a lot last week.

Yeah patience You've got to have patience in this league anymore. Yes As we go down the season that we've done. It's almost over.

We were pulling into the final. Did you believe it? I ask you pose you these two questions first.

I'm talking teams. Okay biggest disappointment biggest surprise biggest disappointment for me is gonna be my dark horse team Yeah, I picked Seattle With my heart of heart said this team's gonna go this team's gonna make it happen and They have done nothing but stink up the joint and can still almost They're trying to win the division. Yeah As far as biggest the surprise We're gonna go to another dark horse team and I'm gonna go to miss these dark horse team with Kansas City lighten the world on fire Yeah, I don't know what's caused that.

I mean you pretty much got new England central planes going on there You know former, you know they You pretty much got a situation there with a lot of former Kansas I mean a new England coordinators there defensive and offensive and then the GM was it new England for a short time so you've got You've got something building there that I think can be really good Well, you've got a quarterback that's playing out For him I'm glad that he's doing something and not just this isn't another Situation where all he's washed up, but yeah, Kansas City's one for me my biggest disappointment. I know there's obvious ones Dallas am I see I was leaving out of the equation because that's everybody to me a big disappointment to me has been the San Francisco 49ers see and I For you maybe but for me I just kind of I'm at the point where I think this out I think a lot of people in nationally not just me, you know, you know people. I don't they were picked in our dark worst contest I really thought single Terry had them going in the right direction at the seasons and last year I'm curious if that seat's not getting hot already.

It's got to be and they were big this Big disappointment to me because they ought to be dominating the weakest division in the National Football League in my opinion That's like a Tosha with Seattle still competitive. Yeah, you know, um, and you've got St. Louis at six and eight.

They all have top-breakers right now We see I'm also and you and I've talked about this I don't know if we've talked about this on air, but I am of the firm opinion if you do not if you are not 500 or better you don't get into the play-out that's something that they're talking about with the competition committee next year is Maybe trying to rework this deal. I think the division winner still makes the playoffs They just don't need to host a play-off game my opinion. I had them on the road.

Well, I can't I can't Let's say St. Louis wins that division. They're host to the play-off game Yeah, but I but again we're we're Rewarding mediocrity that's true that's true and we're kind of walking walking the dog here my biggest surprise to me is Phil Delphia You know what I won't debate that because but here's my thing Is it film a Delphia or is it Michael Fick because you know, they're playing well defensively?

um I don't see where they're if I had to just Close my eyes and go they are in a suitable because other than Atlanta They're the only team the NFC that that should scare people if you're a wild card or you're a team that barely gets in my opinion Vic Vic's had a good year. He's a surprise. I'll be honest with you if I had MVP vote today, and it was Brady or Vic I'm going Vic.

I I would tell you the same thing. I don't have the guys Yeah, you're talking MVP and you're going strictly on the field work that guys numbers are up there He's he's torching every but Phil Delphia was in a situation where they told their fans pretty much new and ownership new and coaching staff This is a rebuilding here the Kevin Cobb era and Phil Delphia was going to start and Michael Vic comes in there and he's just Looks amazing if if you hadn't checked out the last the last three minutes of that game Sunday between them and the Giants Did you and I sit down that whole fourth quarter? I mean, I was just what in the world's good.

Yeah, he took over him and His wide receivers took over that game more you do Jeremy Maclin Probably more than the Sean Jackson, but Jeremy Maclin really had a good game But yeah, I just want to see biggest disappointments biggest surprises. I didn't think Kansas City I mean, there's a lot of stuff going on. This is a parody is driving this league right now Speaking of dark horses records.

Let's get on the boat. I'm ready to get on the boat Yeah, we started Thursday Thursday night I don't feel like so long. Yeah, at the Murph That's big Murphy speaking of those 40 Niners Man San Diego went out there and just Kick them in the mouth and but isn't this one see ends with San I can't talk tonight and isn't this what San Diego does in the year?

I mean they beat them down as San Diego does defeat San Francisco 34 to 7 rivers 19 for 25 273 three touchdowns San Francisco look lifeless Have they have they given up They in that division I wouldn't But they're one in six on the road Sounds like the opposite of my dolphin. Yeah, the battle for Ohio is Cleveland took on Cincinnati Since that he wins 1917 Palmer 14 for 23 to 9 no TDs It's sad that when you have the game mix and you and I are watching football together that game was even on the radar It was even on the radar Of course the big headline now this story is Terrell Owen season is over. We covered that earlier Cleveland man, I just they've shown so much improvement.

I'll be curious. You know glacier. He got to watch him He gets kind of waffly.

I don't know I'm L.A. Yeah, he's the one that brought out that footage this week of another sideline incident. Yes In this town had a wild one a cowboy stadium is cowboys do up in the Redskins 33 to 30 and this was one of the three Winnable games ideas and the only one they have left is Saturday as Washington score 16 fourth quarter points 16 they did get to two two-point conversions a wild game Rex Grossman 25 for 43 Welcome to the league Rex 322 yards four touchdowns The cowboys today of course Tony rumble I are out for the year thought it was dumb to play him any way the rest of the year Yeah, but they win.

I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing Well, let me ask you this did they win that game or did Washington? Yeah, Rex throwing two picks in a fumble I mean those three turnovers probably cost them that game and statistically this defense your cowboy defense 2010 is worse than the 1989 15 defense went one and 15 Wow Houston my dark horse has completely melted down and melding as they get beat by the lowly Titans 31 17 as the new old Oilers beat the new oilers, but I thought it would be a better game than it really turned out to be yeah If you watch the world by the leader you found out Vince Young still not in not in the good graces of Jeff Fisher, but he shows up to the game late and leaves in the fourth quarter Done which one of these two was gone or are they both gone? Cuz Fisher you got to think ownership up there.

It's got to start going, you know dude seriously. Yeah, he's a kid hang on the music He's another cow or guy. I think he's a great coach.

I just It takes him a while. I think he's out at one is welcome I think he might need to change a scene here as well That might be good for him and one of the big games on your slate Sunday was Jacksonville visiting anyapolis I've got out of here Jacksonville wins. They clinched the division Houston Indianapolis wins 3424 a lot of weird things this game had an on-side kick return for a touchdown Paite Manning 29 for 39 to 29 and two TDs.

Is there an update on Austin Colley? He took a huge hit as far as nothing's come out at all He did not return to that ballgame Peyton Manning needs him to make this team successful. I think ten and six and in the playoffs for Indy That that's a good year for this year.

Oh, and this is something that you and I talked about all season long If Indy and New England don't have that mystique about this year where and if you watch that postseason Interview that Peyton gave with CBS. He wasn't paid now He was visibly disturbed about this whole situation, and that's not like him Kansas City and the battle for Missouri. Hey now Pete St.

Louis 27 13 I think the Rams are starting to show their age as a season wears on Bradford pedestrian 21 for 43 181 the guys got to have weapons is Bradford watching Rookie of the Year slip away from him a little bit more every week now No, because he's not looking stupid Now he was meant to I mean he's not making a lot of mistakes as having a wet. Well, I'm talking about compared to a guy up in Oh, right on defense Well, he'll win. Well, that's gonna be two separate things offensive and defensive.

Okay. Yeah, no I think offensive Rookie the year he's pretty safe unless somebody lights it up But I don't see it happening in two weeks. I thought there was one I'm thinking of doing yeah Basketball, maybe a little upset as we watched the ending of this game together The Miami doffins were eliminated from playoff Attention, please as they lose the buffalo, but again, we can't win it.

Yeah 17 14 is their kicker goes O for four, but in his own defense They were all all every one of those kicks were 45 yards or one of them was 61 yards. Yes Surprising Miami was one of my teams surprised. I really thought they were gonna compete maybe a wild card I didn't win at all, but compete Andy wild one Sunday We spoke about earlier as Phil Delphia defeats New York football Giants 38 31 that was about a 15-minute time frame where It was as as a comedian once said we had the attention span of a new Yeah, because we were going to so many different games and this was going on in this then gone for game mix Yes, because if we have that you you might more or not your remote people in Philadelphia are calling this the miracle at the Metallands part two of course that's how harm Edwards Giant quarterback trying to take a knee runs into his running back fumbles the ball harm Edwards takes it back 40 yards for a touchdown Be full Brady ball update southernness up 14 to nothing over Louisville early Yeah, we're not even five minutes in in this game.

Go Eagles Speaking of Eagles a Michael Vick 2035 242 3 TDs also rushed with 10 carries a hundred and thirty yards He took this ball game over yeah, we every time we look up. There's up. There's other Michael Vick highlight It was insane of course the game does it on to Sean Jackson's six-yard punt return Whatever don't kick to the guy.

How about that? Yeah, blah. I'll say that coach leaned into that kicker in me in a game In a game that kind of was bad, but it was a win It was a win you needed to treat beats Tampa 23 20 over time.

Yeah, the big for a standout of this is mr. Blunt Like Eric Blunt. Yeah, welcome to the league 15 carries 110 1 TD undrafted free agent if he doesn't hit a guy one night in Boise He is a first round pick Tampa.

You said something to be during this game Were you said that They might have stolen him in that draft. Yeah, they did he was an undrafted guy because they thought he was a character guy So and in a game that really I don't even think we turned on one time Jimmy Klauson gets his first win as a pro is Carolina up ends a Horrible Arizona team 19 to 12 and another big game on your slate is Baltimore and New Orleans a Game that had a little bit of everything going on in it had some defensive plays had some offensive plays Baltimore does win 30 to 24 right rice rushes for 153 yards on 31 carries Yeah Got to share that run defense norm a little bit a little bit another game that we thought I picked Seattle to probably win this when I Thought Atlanta had at least one more loss in them, but when they go to Seattle and really just kind of show out 34 18 Seattle's always been a tough place to play because of the crowd the way the stadiums build this outside Like I said Atlanta wins 34 18 Ryan 20 for 35 174 3 TDs We just are calling him the prototype. Yes, he is.

Yeah, then we go To the home of the Oakland Right a boy it got a little muddy. Yeah, I know what California one of the more entertaining Games of course when Oakland's at home in the rain. I hear John LaCinda saying the autumn wind is a writer in the background hold on hold on hold on hold on ready say it again The autumn wind is right There you go as only one way to do you open wins this game 39 23 7 and 7 still in the hunt The big story out of this is Tim Tebow.

Yes NFL haters Tim Tebow Makes his NFL debut 18 for 16 138 one touchdown that was a great throw great catch corner If you didn't see it and then of course eight carry 78 yards one TD I don't know if anybody wants Tim Tebow gets to that second level in the safe in the safety of corners nobody Tackling if you he was you know, I have my T. Bo Jersey on Sunday at your house. Yes, he was I was so glad to see him do well Did well, you know, and I want to see him and they're gonna start him again this week.

Yes, they announced that today You know in another big I mean we're getting the big games now The Jets do beat Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh. I thought that was kind of an upset. I thought New York mailed it in As they do win 22 17 not a lot of gaudy stats in this Rossis burger went for 264 and a touchdown, but pretty much it Game that was a little too close for comfort if you're a patriot front fan, but it had a great play in it Yeah, I had the line men running back to the squib kick before the half Not only did he run it though if you he actually made a couple a couple of cuts Hey, right ball security if you if you you hadn't seen this look it up Former LSU quarterback Matt Flynn goes 24 for 37 251 and three touchdowns.

I thought the kid look good now Cleveland will give him a five-year contract about 50 million dollars Isn't that what they do with pretty much a bad good game for a guy that hadn't thrown a ball since a bowl game at LSU I thought he looked okay I don't know if it was a off-night for New England. I don't know what was going on You know what I'm sorry that just I love it when people are in her chat room and they kind of get us off course a little bit Yeah, I don't like you stole a hat that was It just to tell me right now if you give Brady Tom Brady and Ent he will take a mile every time yeah right now It seems like looks on over there, man I think they win it all in that that's just my opinion. I hope not but which I really don't care As long as I don't just don't want to see too Philadelphia can't win it in our stadium green Bay can't It was like washing my biggest nightmare right now.

It's his Super Bowl being Pittsburgh and Philadelphia That's right that ever happened keystone Super Bowl and then last night Little history I guess Minnesota the Bears really showed out if you do you watch any of this I watched a little bit of it I was flipping between this role in heat Mavericks um As the Bears win 40 to 14 cutler 14 for 24 1 94 3 TDs last night He finally played and I thought this season he's played like a franchise quarterback Maybe that change of scenery is what he needed, you know And they're not you know everybody with Mike Mark's type offense They want to see the greatest show on turf. We saw from St. Louis for so long They're not doing that.

I think it's with four to different league got four to a pound in the ball in him making plays with a receiver core of Johnny Knox Isn't he in jackass? It's Knoxville. Oh, I'm sorry, but the big deal about this game was of course it was in Minnesota It was outdoors.

It was cold first outdoor game in Minnesota did you see bud Adams they had him on the shoulders? Hat short sleeve shirts then Gene feel like that's a man's man right First outdoor football game in Minnesota since 1981 where they lost to the chiefs 10 to 6 at the old metropolitan stadium Which is now home of all the Americas. Of course.

I saw six or seven sannas Santa's got a stop by Santa's got to watch the little Monday night football and then of course they got the shirtless guys There was a bunch of the shirtless guys Well, and here's my thing with that Normally you would say well they might have been hammered no alcohol sales at the college College stadium. Ah, you don't tell me some plastic hit flask There's some pops up in the stand. I promise you there was some pops up in the stands But uh, and the the owner of the Viking says you know what I Think we want to I think we want to want to do this from now on I think he's gonna go to the city and try to get an open air stadium again part of home field advantage Yeah, they say fans eat winter laud lose because their seasons over Minnesota is or what they are and Minnesota is gonna Draw those fans because to them that shorts weather anyway.

Yeah, so I Think it happens Minnesota's got to get a new stadium are they're gone LA wants them something fierce LA wants a team Minnesota is one of the originals. I'd be shocked if they ever left Minnesota. I don't think minutes I've said it before I don't think they leave I think if LA gets a team It's gonna be Jackson though, but that's I thought that was pretty cool They kept showing some old highlights of you know the great gym Marshall.

He's running the wrong way Some of those highlights last night, but Week 16 we have two weeks left in the regular season and that's We are this is why I love football because literally every game counts We literally you know, and this is one of the things that I thought was weird was this thing is moved on on the college level And the pro level In my opinion, I mean look we're we're watching bowl games. It seemed like yesterday. We were doing the the preview show My opinion.

Yeah, it's going fast fast and furious But one thing about real back at Minnesota game real quick. You know that state, which is so weird universe of Minnesota Of course Golden Go for its new stadium open this year There was no They didn't winterize that stadium. There was no on field heaters Well, you know that the that the Minnesota Vikings were actually asking fans to come down and help them shovel the snow Yeah, of course Brett farm.

I know I'm not gonna just got Brett farm was knocked out I think the the surface had something to do with that because there were players saying that it was frozen style of that turf was frozen But let's set the dinner plate for Christmas Weekend NFL action with starts Thursday night. Oh Doesn't really doesn't really start Thursday night. Carol Anna takes on Pittsburgh Pittsburgh going in for their second by week of the season.

What's the line Pittsburgh by about 50? Pittsburgh by 15 is it really that we've opened up with Vegas says You know what Christmas days no better Meaningless football as Dallas takes on Arizona The last winnable game because then they got to go to Philly. That's gonna get ugly Dallas by seven But you know what I have enjoyed watching the Cowboys the last few weeks and stay far away to Phillips They're a very entertaining now.

They are a cardiac much. Mm-hmm, but they're a very fun football team to watch In another one that hey, we might be able to just say we got you as New England travels to Buffalo to take on the bills new England by nine in a game that is Very big for both these teams now as we told you earlier the bears did clinch the NFC North last night and The jets at ten and four trying to stay alive and just get in as They do travel to soldier field and take on Chicago the line Chicago by one probably a pick on by the end of the week Yeah, the old brown to the new browns Get it going on in Cleveland as the Ravens travel to Cleveland That's gonna be ugly too. That's another team Baltimore needs to win as many games as they can But the Pittsburgh loss helps them Baltimore by four In a game that I'm gonna go On Kansas City as Tennessee travels the Kansas City.

I think it's a game that Kansas City will blink If I had an upset special anymore, it would be Tennessee KC by five I disagree. I think I think right now Tennessee's in their in disarray. Yeah, that whole organization Vince Young has just crumbled that organization One Eastern on Fox at San Francisco and if big NFC West match up.

Hey now as a 49ers battle the Rams I can remember when I can remember when Joe Montana versus Jim Everett the L.A. Rams with a Monday night football game This is horrible one thing. I will say hats off Sam Bradford did go over to three thousand yard mark this season Third rookie to do it congratulations to that kid.

Yeah, I was worried about him going into this Yeah, Sam Bradford over three thousand yards this season Manning and Matt Ryan the only other two rookies to do that St. Louis by two Detroit Miami. Oh, this this is a fun battle for the seller had a phone with that My any come on Dolphins man.

Maybe by four if you want to know I think we can win that game Washington in Jacksonville Jack this might be a game where Jacksonville let's Indy beat them twice Would they get in their head Cosmone other game You think maybe maybe I'm just saying that No, I don't know San Diego going to Cincinnati where that is all that done in Cincinnati San Diego though colder weather with San Diego in December. Yes, but it's different part of the world here Tim Tebow making his second straight start first home start for Tim Tebow as the Houston Texans go to Denver to battle The Denver Broncos Houston right now 3. Favorite so Denver a three point dog a game with huge AFC wild card and or division game Playoffs as eatingapolis Colts battle to the home of the Oakland Raiders At 305 Eastern on CBS so funny.

He just said a game where if if Indy beats look if Oakland beats the Colts San Diego wins If no here it was it if Tennessee. Okay, here's if Tennessee beats Kansas City Oakland beats Indy a train Chicago. Yeah, 60 miles from San Diego wins San Diego Clint so Clint is a playoff spot See this is the time of year.

Yeah, where mathematics become involved and it gets very confused exactly Um, I like Oakland in this game just because I kind of like Oakland Indy yeah, Indy by three. Um, I don't know man. Indy's been so jackal hide this year It's tough to and it's not like we said a couple weeks ago.

Well, Peyton's not gonna have just that game And I'm gonna tell you what if McFadden gets going he'll rush for 10,000 yards on that Colts defense if that cat gets going him and that other kid We watched on Sunday. Yeah, that that wow for it was that his name. Yes, good.

It's got some speed I'm glad to hear that that razor back working out there in a game that's probably wild car elimination the giant's traveled a green Bay to take on the Packers aren't just got something here Aaron Rogers has been cleared to play by the league He will be there at Lambo field even line Dark horse versus your home team is Seattle travels to Tampa Tampa needs to win out to even be shot at the playoffs and then Sunday night game Minnesota travels to Philadelphia It's all about Philly trying to get that home game and then finally We get to see the Atlanta Falcons in prime time as New Orleans Atlanta a Game to where really it's all about Atlanta now clinching home field advantage. They've already clinched the I did speak earlier They weren't the only team to clinch the division Chicago was not Atlanta has already clinched the NFC South But it's good to see Atlanta getting some some prime time. Yeah, they deserve it and I want to promise you The boys in the booth We'll be a lot warmer this Monday.

Yeah, they were this last Monday. They didn't Open and that's an open air press box. Yeah, yeah, I grew and working the working the camel hair Scarf pretty cool.

So and that is in NFL Island week 16 one more Dinner is our dinner plate dinner plate. I'm sorry. That's it.

So we're ready to go to the other side of this coin Yeah, something always comes out about this this sport, you know, it You think that you got to take care of and then you don't Yeah, I don't know if this next this first thing we're gonna kick off with here It's a story it's a story, but I don't know if it's surprised if anybody's just gonna what we always go from here to college football That is what we are referring to First headline of the day I want to start off real quick happy birthday Joe paterno 84. That's right. They talked about that on the world He's almost as old as Michigan stadium Also the birthday just on a little subject Sam Jackson 60 today 62 And let that sink is don't cold Steve Austin.

Oh, today's Austin's birthday. Yeah, did not know that Your coach at Maryland about time. Yeah I want to see been there about time.

There's a lot of man you talk about swirling as Ralph Regents his That's what it seems. Yeah, his 10-year reign at Maryland He was also a player there. So he's been the university has come to an end.

There were rumors about this I'm all weekend. I posted it Friday night Yeah, you did because we talked about it on Sunday this this thing got real got some wheels under it very very fast Mike Leach Somebody finally called it. No, what's the name Kevin Plank mean to you?

Mike Leach takes these a pirate disguise last name is plank. No, Kevin Kevin Plank is a former special teams player who invented a little brand known as under armor Ah, this is the guy that and the the guy that does that we must protect his house was his roommate that college that's right Well, he's now then both of them gentlemen now sit on the Louisville board of alumni regents and It's Mike Leach or nobody from what I've heard. It's good to my from somebody's calling Mike Leach because he's a good coach I don't think he's as thermonuclear as everybody seems to think he is I'm glad to see the guy getting his iteration.

He has a radio show on XM satellite radio that I listen to quite a bit And he was claiming to offer him an office of coordinator job with a slap in a face He was contacted by three schools all which play in the big 12 two of which were orange one wears red and they play each other in the cotton bowl So figure that out Erie to three Pi he was he was contacted by Texas Oklahoma and Oklahoma state supposedly for a offensive coordinator vacancy Don't know if that's true or not, but um can he win there? No, I don't I don't see how you can Maryland's a basketball state You're getting into basketball region, but I'm gonna tell you the ACC got better with Jim Bo Fisher Al golden at Miami and now if if Leach takes this Maryland job sold on Al golden Ask me next November. Yes.

Oh you mean, but he's still a he's but he's got a he's got a track record I mean the dude's got skins on the wall, but again for to jump from temple to the University of Miami That's a big job sir big job. I'm glad to see him getting back I think Maryland's too far away from his demographic although he was it can tuck you for a short time rumored offensive coordinator for him. I'm fixing to blow your wheels off all right I'm sitting down guess who he is rumored to have already said if I get this job you're my quarterback coach off the coordinator Sean Salisbury Had I would he leave the world wide leader Sean Salisbury.

Oh, I'm sorry. I think I had somebody I had um I had somebody completely different in my mouth. Sean Salisbury.

He's a local guy. Yeah, Sean Salisbury is hanging out in between He's down the road right now. Yeah, he's filling in on his I had a curve street in my head for some reason But yeah, that's the rumor of good for Maryland good for Mike Leach gets his name back in the system This has three years max before he's in a bigger program my opinion and that's just my opinion Um Nick Saban sent out a warning To yes, he did two underclassmen, which I totally agree with It specifically his juniors.

Yes juniors. Uh-huh. Um, I agree with it.

Uh stand school with this labor Breakdown, which it will cancel all minicamps training camp rookie symposiums that sort of thing and I stand firm on the fact that this will happen Yes, and I think there's enough college coaches saying stuff that I believe the NFL will not have a season or at least a shortened season, but they still say they're gonna have a draft. Yes I think There's even this I'll tell you what and I'm not going to get local yoke or or home run yet But today was the first press conference that a lot of these BCS bull people are doing Um headlines coming out of the OU festival Press conference what stoop said he is warned all players if you go out this year is a junior you're leaving 10 to 15 million on the table And he goes I don't know if I have a professional football player on this football team right now Wow So there's some guys that need some improvement there. Um, but I like Sabin and coming from Sabin I don't like the guy.

I think he's a snake but um Hey, he knows the game And you what they say don't hate the player hate the game. So guys got rings. He's got rings He's one of he's one everywhere.

He's went um, uh, no in college in college excuse me Yeah, he did coach your team for that's not talking about that. I was in Jamaica when that broke You weren't Jamaican during that bowl game too. I remember specifically um But yeah guys if you're listening stay uh Stay in school.

Don't be a full stay in school. Is that your PSA for the yes very nicely done sir the more you know Um, and um Rumors more trouble for the big 12 with all these rooms. Yeah, these conference rumors will not go away But you've got another one trying to get out of another one of Kansas Where do they think they want to go?

Kansas, which I see my uh esteemed brother-in-law's in the room. Kansas is very Kansas. A very Uh, that's where our lives families are.

Okay, so they have some j-hawk and wildcat backers in their family K state says we want to go to the Big East And K state Missouri says they will go with us Now I don't know if this is a this is a Texas Oklahoma situation where the zoo is going Hey, wait, wait, wait, I don't know if this is the billi-goat's gruff-tot bit or what's going on? But um Bill self has confirmed the rumor that he has already been in conversations with the chancellor in the AD For Kansas Kansas state and Missouri All three of them to the big east to go to the big east that'll help them at a basketball center. Yes Um, I don't that'll put them in more companies with all this guy confirmed.

I'm not trying to Fire gun off here anybody. Let Texas go independent Because they're gonna have to do as long as gummed up the works with this conference stuff let Texas schedule an in Schedule you sign your contracts like Notre Dame has with Michigan and USC for years do that and everybody else just go do your own thing now Do you think that they're gonna have to have their own network too if they go into because Notre Dame's got the NBC contract. Yeah, absolutely.

You'll have to have somebody maybe Fox branch on the spot. It's gonna be Fox Sports Texas Yeah, something like that which is whatever they do make a lot of money down there They can write big checks whatever we all know that but Where do these other cats fall? I think you I think tech had and I'll just I have some scenarios I think tech takes a step backwards.

I think they have to go down to a mountain west or a whack to get their wheels right back to Southwest conference Because now you've got enough teams left Man, that's a stretch. I think OU and A&M bolt for the SEC We welcome you sir. Yes, um, and that's something that will take both of those teams a few minutes for adjusting Maybe not Oklahoma because they recruit so well in southeastern conference states already A&M would be Vanderbilt for about the first three years So they got the wheels back on I think they'd be more than Vanderbilt.

They might be More Tennessee is right there, but this thing had doom written all of it from the get-go this big just big now big 10 big 12 Whatever they're calling it now It makes me sad Because it it was all money yep It was all money. That's all it isn't there was a team greedy wanted more money You had other teams wanting more money and it became just a mess became a mess Nebraska Colorado doesn't bother me But the big 12 north kind of all of a sudden breaking up which nothing's happened yet So I'm not gonna say everybody's leaving nothing's happened yet. No contracts have been signed But can't this is uh the j-hawks chirping.

What have you been saying for four months sir where there's smoke there's fire Yep, there's fire on these deals Oklahoma I told a guy together. I had a customer up in Oklahoma city. I told him Oklahoma will never go independent the state's not big enough They'll have to be in a conference But again you want to come to the SEC we welcome you because I think Oklahoma could be great for the conference.

Yes, A&M We'll take you. Yeah, but then Oklahoma kind of like Texas has a little brother. They have to Feed Oklahoma state.

Where's that put them? This the thing the big trail's been too muddy too long for me. It's just been too much.

Good Oklahoma state take a step back Like you're talking a tech because they don't know how but Oklahoma state recruits so much better than tech But where would you put them? I don't know man I would like here's what I'd like to see Texas going to pin it because I think they can do it I think it would be kind of now and another thing I think's fueling that is you know They've signed the contract. We talked about this on a show way over in the year They start a contract with Notre Dame next season Texas plays a home and home with Notre Dame starting in 2012 Two independence could be by that time could be two independence I really think this has one year in it two max and then people are bailing We're losing conferences left.

Yeah, yeah, I think you'll also I'd like to see If you could convince it I'd like to see Oklahoma. I know as you go to the big 10 I think that'd be neat. Would you be a leader or would you be a legend because I don't know Yeah, big 12.

Yeah, you're right big 12 needs Texas, but let me tell you The Texas is what is a situation they're in now Yeah, but I think with the big 12 I think if they look at the clock on the wall. It's ticking It's ticking. They've got to do something.

I don't know why they're so afraid to at this point get SMU in there And bring in Houston why not quit being worried about money and let's just play football this kind of stuff is killing The college game. It's killing the college because they don't make enough apparently. Yeah, it's just it's more money more money more money more money more money Um, I don't I'm gonna refer to the big 12 anymore, but Kansas and K state and Missouri if they leave You're looking at a situation now you're down to what 16?

Yeah, we can't do around rama 16 You can just get all done in one day. Yes So bowl contest If you were tuned into the show two weeks ago, we did our bowl projections We have three games Completed we'll start at at a new eastern or I'm sorry two o'clock eastern on saturday in the new mexico bowl I had b-y-u Cody had you tip b-y-u wouldn't be that got nasty That makes it one nothing meek We go to five thirty eastern in the humanitarian bowl We both had northern Illinois over Fresno state That happened, okay, so that makes it two one And your night game in the new row one's bowl Cody had the university of Ohio. I had Troy Troy wins fairly nicely It is now three to one as we go into tonight's game that we currently have on the studio The b-foe Brady's bowl very strange the winner of that and that's in the race stadium.

I know as Cody's taking Lewisville. I have Southern Lewis. I took the farmers.

Yes, you took Lewisville. No, that's the Louisville Right now it is one minute left in the first quarter southern misses up 14 to come on Charlie strong, so I'm Feeling good right now. Yes, feeling good.

We'll keep you updated as we go along Wow, we got out of college football talk right now. I'm not used to taking this little bit of time. Yeah If we keep saying we're not going to have any more headlines.

We're not going to have any more headlines Well, this is the last one. This is it. I'm done with this for the for I mean, I hate it and it's I'm gonna I got some Let me get some stuff on this next point is we are Heading into baseball talk.

I know it's December Winter meetings are over at least we thought they were yeah Um, this shocked me That we're gonna we'll let Ole Miss right out because you know they're not gonna hear much of the Rebels He used to not you know, he's a he's a guy that was rumoring around a lot of jobs, and I guess he's just gonna stay there and Was that Blacksburg? What's their Oxford something like that Oxford Mississippi But I will tell you this these but these bowl games um So there's a lot of them left. There's a lot of them left some of these have just gotten nuts You see you said that that's an act they have to have the race games So the b-fold break the winter gets a thing of chicken wings.

I think so. I think so and uh The wing coupon maybe some beer. Yeah, maybe.

Oh, no, because those are college kids get through that. Can't do that I didn't realize that stadium you could see through the roof until they showed an overhead shot Oh, wait no, no, no, no, no, no, this is the one I want Oh, I think oh, I Let's pause for some station identification because I cute up the wrong song. Well, let's as you know, so um base bag zack rinky As we all know A guy that that I had here you had here.

Yep. I think everybody baseball had here man. He is now a Milwaukee Brewer That happened over the weekend by the league.

Yeah, it's very strange Honestly, I think the guys are nut you think Um anxiety you ain't going to play in New York anxiety, but I promise you that um I've got concerns genuine concerns for a team that Made an appearance in the world series last year I don't see where I just don't see it. I don't know why the Rangers have not pulled the trigger On this why they didn't pull the trigger on this guy Oh, now they're talking to somebody else a Brandon Webb. Yeah, he's talking to everybody um I thought this was a done deal supposedly the brewers came out and said the Rangers made them an offer that was insulting For you always what what one of their handlers said Uh, I believe the trade also shot zack rinky as well I Guess CJ Wilson's going to be your opening day starter.

I guess against the boss. That's what we're going with also rumors that uh There's going to be some switch swapping around in the bull pin Uh, the closer is now going to be your forced starter Oh Yeah, I don't know how that's going to go I don't trust Frankie Francisco close in my games. No Why would you do that?

Isn't he liable to throw a chair at somebody and something man He's a nut. No, that was coke. That was coke.

That was uh, that was that I thought that was Frankie Francisco. They had another nut that there was a chair. I probably might have been But Texas to me man and I'm kind of sitting here in parking for a second I really thought it's time.

It's time. It's time. We're going to spend so much money and all of a sudden That things hit a wall did hear an in-local interview with Greenberg yesterday um Is it not Brandon Webb?

Is this way my right Brandon Webb? I thought it was. Let me double check on that Error zone up former Say Young winner for the Diamondbacks.

So not a bad move not a bad move Not a bad move for them But the thing that concerns me is bringing Felicia in as as a starter Yeah, that he is so locked when it comes down to getting those three out to the ninth inning. Don't jack with that That's like all of a sudden. Hey, uh, we didn't get Cliff Lee.

So I'm around Rivera. You're a starter He said whoa. Hey, hey, uh Uh, Brandon Webb right-handed pitcher.

Error zone, right? The interest is sincerely mutual on Webb's part. This is as of five hours.

Okay. Okay. Go um former Say Young winner.

I know he's had a rough time since then I think he struggled last year in Arizona um I don't know the Yankees the Rangers to me and a Heim gets better just by getting healthy. Yes To me, man, Boston looks like the big winner in the ale right now as far as free agency if they can keep that that healthy keep that thing going Oh, well, you know, the Yankees have a you have an owner that's repelling down buildings. Yeah, some reason the GMs are or wasn't that wasn't that first cashman?

Yes, it's a charity, but it was it wasn't for charity or something But yeah, I was hoping to see a little bit more movement from from some teams in Texas as well as a man and Supposedly Vladimir Guerrero that hold up there with the DH Is a situation he wants two years the Rangers offering one One year. Why does anybody want more one? I It's all in their words all about that cushion.

It's all about security, but there means we're here. Yeah, but Vlad wanting that that one year um, and I think a lot of teams are are complacent with going into the situation just by you know what we're gonna See how the season goes and we're gonna make a move at the trade deadline Just like the Rangers did with Cliff Lee last year just like you saw some teams doing that Atlanta Atlanta made a move last you know and then propelled them to the playoffs So I think this might be everybody's going you know what we're gonna take our chips and see what everybody's doing We're gonna show our hand come the trade deadline. What I think is gonna happen there In other news Basketball was playing the heat lost their 12 game win streak last night.

Yeah, Maverick. Maverick. That was uh, hey classic game great game If you did not see that game great game crowd was into it Miami not exactly sports talent when the game started everybody was on our late Really what they did say but you know what?

Yes, they need a leader. Dirk is already someone up. Dirk's Robin Yeah, they back in not right now you've got and I'm already booked.

Yeah But I think the Mavericks can win. I think they can go too deep. I'm stopping it there You're going to get one eight and another thing um Novitsky we talked about this the other night and I think it shot to both of us As Dirk Navitsky is getting real close to Larry birds all-time point record Yep, um Larry birds on the top 50 greatest players ever an NBA history if the if the list is expanded to 75 is Dirk on your list.

No Man, it's hard not to put him in the conversation. I'd have him at a you know if you gave me a hundred I might I'll give you a hundred I'd put it all time. I'm not talking the 90s.

I know. I know. That's what I'm saying if you give me a hundred Yeah, in the in the 90s and odds I might give you 75 but all time you're gonna have to give me a hundred.

Yes Random thought this week. I want to talk about Christmas family traditions Yeah, you and I both very much love this time of year. It is my personal favorite time of year outside of my birthday and Is there anything that maybe you remember growing up that maybe It might be a little different from the norm Yeah, and that's right.

I do that. That's a holiday tradition That's almost a daily tradition That's gonna say is that just the holidays and I'll have a little drink um I will probably be Portaking in a couple tops with my brother-in-law Christmas night um You know as being newly married. This is my second actually my third christmas Mean de amber going in and leaving married through it not married moving together for three Christmas kind of weird But my second one actually married Um, we're trying to set up traditions now one of the ones we always did as a kid which I did with my My family last weekend was the home the making of homemade candy Christmas cookies that sort of thing We've actually now brought that into our holiday first year.

We've done it All of us really enjoyed it. So that my it's one of them for me We always got together with my grandparents and Tampa my all the cousins and everything we get together One thing we did because my cousins all had other Christmases to go to So we would get together on Christmas Eve and we would open the presents from everybody else Christmas Eve But you did your immediate family Christmas morning. Yeah, so that way everybody could see you open the gifts and whatnot You know was always And even since even as recently as my mid-twenties I would go to my grandparents house and all the grandkids who were all grown people now We're still at a card table in the patio and you go to sleep with the Bafuti pajamas not yet Oh, but you know We were wondering if we would get the bowls with the face in the bottom of them still we weren't sure But or the plaster the spork a the greatness of the spork, sir We got actually silverware and stuff, but it was always everybody got together You had the big dinner the grandkids were always off at the card table Yes, and then it felt like that 30 minutes it took them to clean up and load the dishwasher and get to the tree felt like four and a half hours That's right because we weren't allowed to touch anything under the tree while while the adults were cleaning up And so we would all just sit there and just wait and it felt like there was no TV in the room Which made it worse because you didn't have nothing to pass the time pass the time.

Yeah, but I traditions This year my my wise family does some stuff Christmas Eve. I'm actually going first time. I will be out of the state of Texas On a holiday Christmas Eve I'll be up in Mike's in his family up in the hot springs Arkansas area So that that's a lot of fun You and I actually spent a Christmas together with our family at this at this in our studio.

Yeah Yeah, had some my family and I'm an only child so it's kind of hard for for me, but We had But um I am I love the holidays big fan of the holidays Sports is always a big holiday. I noticed the NBA is trying to become the They're trying they're trying to corner Christmas now. So maybe some people's tradition the future might be NBA basketball on Christmas day What do you need the meal?

I'm a big fan say I want to do the Christmas turkey. I prefer a Christmas hand Um, I and you know, of course all the accoutrements I prefer the Christmas barbecue. Oh brother You don't even have to put the word Christmas in front of it.

You say barbecue. I mean I have my you know me and I've got a fill of the turkey and the dressing and all that On Thanksgiving. I'm not a person that likes to repeat that meal on Christmas.

Let me ask you this Have you ever done the turd ducking? I have not I'm very intrigued by the concept of the turd duck It's very hard to do. It's actually originated as a Cajun dish And that was something that kind of John Madden that was a who we're going to mention here a little bit later Inside of a chicken inside of a duck No, it's a duck inside of a chicken inside of turkey something like that Three bars.

I I want to try it sometime. So if anybody out there has an opinion on the turd ducking You know, maybe find out how I can do this. Yeah, Christmas brunch.

Oh, I it's on my DVR. I haven't watched it.

Yes So I'm looking forward to seeing that annex bar Also, we had another entertainment death in the last couple of days the great steve land is bad Many he was sergeant Arthur Dietrich on a Barney Miller Barney Miller He was all with the glasses and all the hair. Also did some cameos on the 70s show. That's also a play on that he was Oh, jeez don't get me lying.

I have to pull it up But he I know one of his later roles. He was the pediatrician in forgetting sir. That's right.

Yep So great actor Pass away of cancer. Yes, big of that 70 show. You're right.

The worst mug shot ever did that was I lied to you on this Yeah, I saw that before you posted that but yeah, that was horrible one of the the first girl that played tofer graces sister About 70 show arrested for a DUI You talk about and let me tell you something fans If you're at work and do a search on this girl Be aware if you do the search on bane the first image that's gonna come up is not safe for work So be aware of how she's got a past she well she apparently did a movie where she was at least Topless and that's the first picture that comes up. So be aware of her name. Oh escapes me let me let me look it up for you real quick Yeah, I think Chad and I are probably racing to do that right.

I don't know what her name was a bit bit part She is she's one of those three name actresses. Yeah But says Lisa something great show. I I've always said remember there are There are three shows that I will stop down for even if I've seen the the uh If I've seen the episode a hundred times there are three shows.

I will stop down for That's 70 show Family guy Friends Lisa Robin Kelly Lisa Robin Kelly a certain go ahead and look that up real quick um because you Cody does have his own terminal right here in the studio he can do that We um Remember the 80 show all three episodes of it yeah That was my problem with that 80 show was it was a it was a lot of hey look where in the 80s I have a big cell phone and I'm gonna accent it on the camera. It was very overly done And I think that the genius of that 70 show is everything was real subtle Yes, it was a show that took place in the 70s and not the 80s was the show That that was to mean with the difference And I believe that's all I have and I'm gonna let you catch up on that Yes You Do you want to just go ahead and go into this straight into act three yes because we are at the 122 mark Let me get some things out of the way Oh Do like for a minute if you would uh if you do get a chance visit our website check this out Yes www.theclubhousewithrobbencody.com You can also email the show I am Cody at the clubhousewithrobbencody.com I am Rob at the clubhousewithrobbencody.com remember we're here every Tuesday And if you miss a live show you can always listen in on the archive right here on you stream All of our everything since episode four I believe is here and one of these days we're going to get those early episodes up as a flashback It is the holiday show, but before we get to more holiday talk We've got to get to the reason you called the reason you're here And that would be wrestling talk I almost said it was a big week, but it really wasn't This is like a little naughty pipe in your life I don't need to pipe it Couple of headlines Rumors are Sean Michaels will be back for WrestleMania 27 Can even I mean the way this card is shaping up right now can he even save it I don't know, you know, they are saying in preface this they are saying as a special guest referee Yeah, he's not going to be wrestling. Yeah Well, A depends on what your main event is I think he has a situation to where he's got in order for him to be the ref He's got to have some type of kinship in the match So it's going to have to be triple H or the Undertaker Yeah, it's going to have to have him some relevance Would love to see him as a mystery GN if that's going to happen I still think that's Jericho.

Yeah, I hope so. I hope so. I hope they they need to I'm tired of it They need to we need to find out who this person is Yeah, this thing how long has this gone on now six months six months Easy so That's that it has been a been a slow actually Been a slow week as far as news goes.

Yeah, it's time this time of year. Yeah, starting to wrap up I did watch the one hour version of tribute to the troops last night I will say this and Chad was watching it with me. So I'm sure he'll agree Looking forward to the two hour version tomorrow night there.

They didn't not really didn't do anything You had didn't dirty money perform Friendship was in a tag match that he won Trace adkins performed And then there was a six man tag where Barrett was with our Alberto Del Rio and Somebody else it was very weird, huh Of course, you know it was there. I think that you're gonna get more you heard some rumors that you haven't told me So I don't know what happens. Hopefully we'll address that tomorrow night Let's talk about impact Uh, I know you don't like Morgan's Mike skills But he said something Thursday night that even you've got to give credit to He told Jeff that hot topic called and they needed the belt back It just I like the guy just don't know if it's gonna be one of those guys I don't believe that Dixie really knows how to use him.

Here's my thing with Morgan He's gonna wear that belt. Yes for one reason and one reason only Dixie feels like she owes him. Yep after this stunt.

He pulled and if you're not aware Morgan was a member of the last season of American gladiators and at that point he was his role in TNA Where it was he was the security head security officer for gym coordinates and They were promising they were gonna push him but they hadn't done so yet But he said to NBC I'm I'll do this but I'm sticking with TNA. I can do both and NBC tried to power play him and say You're gonna do this or you're not gonna do it at all and that Morgan basically told them some very not nice things and that Acquited to go take a long walkoff short pier NBC came back two weeks later and went okay. Well, let's you do that if you want So he took a huge risk by taking on NBC universal And one So I think Dixie feels like she owes him and that's why I think he'll hold that belt now granted He's got a wrestle in two weeks He has to wrestle mr.

Anderson for the number one contendership At Genesis, so we'll see how that works out Did you see Robbie E's ring a tire Bagley he just beats me down. There's a fist on the butt of his trunks. So for the fist bump.

Okay. I was like really Well, you know who I'd like to see him in a program with for that belt for the X time. Yeah You know who I would think could wear that and maybe bring some class back to it Kazarian because there's already been an exhibition champion I think he was one of the founding members of the exhibition.

It's to me. That's the only belt Kazarian Tinkari Yes, I'd like to see him get back around that belt Got me Kazarian. I think I personally feel was overrated He's another guy that's one of those Early day TNA guys that's that's there and getting the push that he's getting because he's been there for so long My whole thing is Go be married to Tracy Brooks and have a great time He's good in the ring just stay off the stick It's this whole you know this Richard Greco thing.

He's working just doesn't do anything for me Why are we speaking of people unfortunate? Why are we belittling AJ I don't know hit to me. He's the only thing that brand has and I've said that for years I mean are we really are we trying to tease him turning face again because I think right now that's a terrible idea You know bishoff kind of got in his face and you lost the tv title at final resolution You need to show me that you can be the leader that you're supposed to be and I mean just really dressed him down And I was like dude Don't turn him face right now as much as I love AJ either way because I think he's the best thing TNA has right now I just I don't think this is the way you do it But without Rick on tv It kind of takes away from AJ's healness Exactly if you will and I mean you and I we talk about this at nauseam About how much trouble TNA is in right now they are and at a year from now they may not be here I hope they are because I really hope they can get the wheels back on the thing Because they've got to be able to They've got to be able to do something because Vince needs competition and he needs it badly Something that you love Has finally happened in TNA.

It's one of your favorite Bit storylines of all time And what I am referring to Eric Young Orlando Jordan and Eric Young are tag team partners or Lando Jordan creepy enough as he is He finds Eric Young with a couple of hooters girls in a in a dressing room And he's wearing the TNA world title The one that Hogan dropped in the garbage can right after Is it bound for glory? So apparently now we're doing the I found the belt in the garbage cans of the belt is now mine That dug in did with the TV title in WCW except this time it's TNA world title I saw this and went Cody's finally going to be happy with something TNA did Just kind of wonder where it goes from there I think they rename it I think he renames it because you've already got a television title Yes, I think he names it the the young heavyweight title or something of that nature I did not need Orlando Jordan dressed as a hooters girl That was a little uncomfortable for me. I'm not afraid to say that we need to get rid of that bit What they have to realize is that when that aired in some places in America that was the dinner hour I'm just saying Chad says he has breaking news on the Lindsay Lohan incident I will wait for him to type that as we as we continue on Miss Tess Macher made her return as she was allegedly learning how to wrestle from Lacey von Eric Who we know is no longer with the company She shows up as Mickey James's mystery tag team partner in the knockouts tag team tournament to take on Tara and Madison rain Tara and Madison rain advance.

It will be them versus the beautiful people this Thursday night in the finals of the knockout Tag team tournament Do you really think they're going to put all the belts on those two? Could be I think I personally think they put them on the beautiful people I think it's finally time for Mickey to win this belt at Genesis So let's see the woman who's on the Lohan incident if we're going to go back a little bit The woman in question who spoke to TMZ was fired by Betty Ford officials Huh, I'm assuming the woman in question would be the victim of the alleged assault Probably a lot. You know people list cheap up.

Yeah, it's it's it's a 15-minute world, sir We also have the return of amazing red Here's a question Why don't I care about this guy He's got all the talent in the world But I just it's it's like it's like Ray Mysterio 10 years ago I mean the guys the guys got speed the guys got moves. I just don't care Yeah, I don't know that got guys a To me TNA's got about five guys. I even care about Bubba Ray is now demanding that everyone refer to him as bully Ray Um, why are they taking TNA has taken something that was great and made it Do they really expect me to buy this thing idiotic Why are we even changing the bid on either one of the Dudley guests?

We know who they are But now he's bullied even had even on his shirt. It said bully Ray on the back. I don't I don't know what's going on here Of course, you know, I still think him and Devon are gonna be a tables match a Genesis.

I say I haven't announced some of the dead look I think that happens He's Here's a here's he's a thought I'm gonna throw this out there Jarrett right now is working the Uh, double M the double J double M a Challenge or he's coming out every week and he's quote unquote taking people from the audience To take him on an open MMA competition You know, it would be great. What's that If the guy that finally beats him that he pulls out of the crowd is a revamped Santino Ah Artimates life. That's how he came into WWE and won the intercontinental belt.

Yeah, man. I don't know Yeah, I just I just don't know I just this thing has to end this Jarrett MMA thing has to end. I just don't know it's not going anywhere We're going nowhere with this I just yeah I mean the only thing I can figure is gonna happen is he picked some guy out of the out of the crowd that's a disguised somewhat with Joe Yeah, I don't know how you disguise that guy.

He's he's not real tough to pick out of the wine Exactly. I there's got to be a payoff. We've been doing this too long.

Let's move on I mean we've done two paper reusing a row where you've done MMA style matches. We get it. It's a bit move on or Jarrett just go behind the curtain book Also They actually ended impact on time But there was a reason and my guide almost didn't catch it For some reason I still don't know why Impact ended at 11 o'clock eastern time right on time straight up 11 o'clock Normally you would follow with an hour of reaction afterwards But what spiked decided to do and I don't know if they just didn't tell anybody or if you've First didn't update my guide in time They did a half an hour of some show that's based on some morning drive time wacky bit show the cranky Show well cranking yours was done with puppets.

That's Adam Corolla those guys, but it's the same bit where they just they do prank calls And then there was a half an hour impact after one or half hour reaction afterwards I Was just like real I it didn't make any sense to me Where I this you know it just wreaks up to me This wreaks of bishoff Because remember when night show used to go over 10 minutes and then you'd get You know This is the giant gonna defeat Hogan watch Robin Hood on TNT and we'll cut in during commercial breaks and show you the end of this match fans I think that's what he did And it didn't work that either because I fast forwarded right through it didn't care I'm not a big fan of the prank call the first jerky voice album. That's about it Chad says that they promote the snot out of that show didn't make it any better I it just it just annoyed me because My you know if I hadn't been paying attention I would have missed some of reaction which I actually wanted to watch and so I had to stay up to almost 1130 to watch it The next night we did have smackdown which is airing live as we are on the air We are not watching it because I'm actually want to watch it with sound And we can't do that while we're on the air of course because it makes it really it just doesn't sound right. No Apparently everybody saying that the things happened last night Is the bit because cold did it and Caitlin did it yeah on the show Guys get a calendar remember you're supposed to be on Friday not Tuesday Did you see copi's boom hands You can buy big foam hands for copi that's a boom on him and you can do the clapping thing man At least they're letting the push in the guy some way yeah, but they took what was supposed to be his DVD set and put it on paper view like they never released it Boy, he's I don't know he's from Boston That's all I know Apparently convuls MRI came back negative because he was on the show Tagging with copi in that match.

I honestly couldn't tell you who got the pin, but I'm pretty sure the faces one That's all I can tell you right now Also on smackdown this week and I don't know maybe I don't I haven't noticed this As much maybe I'm not paying enough attention But Is Michelle McCool just terrible on the stick. Yeah, so she have no stick no promo ability at all Even I mean like lay was not great But lay was the rock compared to her. I mean, it's that bad.

I didn't realize how bad it really was it made me sad Oh See as we continue on it and chavo Chavo chavo chavo chavo chavo chavo Is he just gonna rotate tag partners every week? I guess so man cutlet I know the that Vince wants to do the Guerrero's a favor and and and get on my chat and in this I don't know man Whatever. I mean chavo had I mean chavo's got skills.

I think he may be a little Louis will tie it up by the way um He may be a little bit past the hill now But just putting off camera putting backstage letting him let it rotate yeah, I think the guy could be a great Rotation now. I think he could teach these kids a lot of things Last little bit for smackdown apparently Ezekiel Jackson is headed to smackdown from raw this come tonight Tonight he's headed there. Yeah, well, I like him a lot He's got to get some Mike skills.

Yeah, that's the only thing I've got to get some Mike skills on this thing But because he's got the size. He's got the power for him. He's He's the wrestler that Ahmed Johnson couldn't be But neither one of them had Mike skills either TLC was this week Allegedly, I mean, I watched it.

I know what happened And again, we had a pay-per-view Where almost every belt was on the line and one belt changed hands that we the one we knew would change the one that pretty much Everybody that has a pulse figured would change hands as edge starts his Title rain and last You said this to me on thunday as we talked and then you think he will be his last I think this one lasts a while. I think they I think Vince owes Adam a long run How long do you think it goes? I'm going to put your over under it over the limit Yes, I'd love to see the program.

He's in it. Mania With who exactly with who that's what I'm with who I just don't know who you who on that it's going to have to be del Rio Could be unless somebody comes out in the rumble and and switches brands Says I don't want that belt. I want like like Benoit did uh-huh Which the record books don't show that but um I just there's nobody on the smackdown roster that I can see edge doing a program with even if Christian healed tomorrow Uh-huh.

We've seen him before exactly I just I don't know where this goes. I think the belt's on the right person I just don't know what's going to happen from here Most of the matches don't work bad Some great spots Miss beat shamus as he's on the ladder shamus tries to push the ladder over the ropes Morrison kicks a foot back Bounces him down with balances his foot to the top rope pushes off the rope Pushes the the ladder forward and kick shamus on the way over cool great spot There were a couple of like even in that intercontinental the ending of that intercontinental match where Kofi and swagger are on the on the ladder fighting Kofi grabs the belt the belt falls out of his hands falls to the mat Dolph Ziegler's on the mat reaches over grab the belt wins. That's cool creative ending.

It's different Yeah, you know, and it's what it shows me is that creative can't do this. Yeah, they can do great things There were flashes of brilliance Why can't we bring that to the show so I'm not it's like we talk about then we get Monday night scene at every week We get Friday night cane every week Creative we know you can do it Make a pay-per-view that works too But as we talked about Morrison beats Shamus and is now the number one contender for the WWE title Will this happen at the rumble I hope I hope what what concerns me and you and I talked about this And I have to happen at the rumble because really the main event of the Royal Rumble is the rumble You can get away with it doing it at the rumble you can't get away with it any other major Here's what concerns me What concerns me is creative panics and doesn't think this thing gets gets pay-per-view quality which I think it is I think these guys could put on a good match And they end up putting Orton and and scene it into it as a four corner good. She could think and that cheapens Morrison's push You know let's let these only go as far as creative lets him go let these guys go You know like you said the main event is the rumble so if if the match ends up taking up the joint You're not losing anything because you're taking up an hour with the rumble anyway And if you do it right you can even carry it into elimination chamber Because that's your February pay-per-view That's my whole thing with it And And you probably thought to yourself well, you know the edge I didn't watch the pay-per-view rob and That that four-way dance For the for the for the world title that had to be the main event.

It's TLC. It's a TLC match. That was not your main event Barrett Sina chair match was your main event And it was terrible.

Yeah, it was a horrible match There was at no point in that match and Chad watched it with me. He can attest to this There was no point in that match that I went Yeah, that's pretty good match Yeah, the match didn't make sense. What was on the line?

Nothing I've got something that the deal with Sina it's got you've got to come to a stopping point with this where he's the show But you've said it to me Vince is so afraid of rolling the dice On a merchandising standpoint with him. That's right. I mean, he's got to be at a point now He's almost at an Austin level with shirts.

That's right Yeah, Vince is so afraid of that dynamic of the losing the money on the merchandise the t-shirts I think him even getting movies and him doing other things and I It's overkill. It's becoming overkill to me I agree with you and that's just the way I feel about it and that That's probably rubs people the wrong way and as you know It says Sina gets more popular his ring skills digress and we talked about that on the phone the other day with when Rocky had the belt He kind of upped his game to that belt, huh? I really thought Sina was gonna do that but what I've realized is if it's not a gimmick match, huh?

Sina can't go can't go he can't go And it just it makes me sad because the guys got all the charisma in the world He's got that X factor that you have to have to be champion But you also have to be able to work in the ring and there's just he just cannot work anymore And you brought up a point to me about Orton on that card that I didn't know About not selling yeah, yeah, I didn't see it, but apparently he was working real stiff Yeah, there were some people saying that Orton was working real stiff I just think this guy's afraid to help and push young talent and I don't understand why because he was that young talent Not very long ago He's just a guy that I don't that's a weird Situation I've always said I've always believed he eventually he's TNA bound I've always said that I just can't see him fitting in there I don't know why I just I can't You know, but then again, this is the promotion. They were Jeff Hardy is your world champion, right? Yeah, that's true and that was another thing that you and I talked about last night or was it night before on the phone where I said What is it about Jeff Hardy That everybody wants to strap their entire company to yeah The guys infamous for Burning out out of nowhere not wanting to work And the guys in the middle of literally the trial for his life.

Yeah, I don't understand it boy. If I'm missing something they do They do I'll give him this man. He has held He's held everybody's belt literally literally, so I mean it must be something Because I don't think he puts butts in seats personally.

I don't either, but somebody does because he He He seems to get in a promotion will Vince created Vince created the monster Very much so because he put the belt on him first and I never thought I'd see the day It in my with that I would that Jeff Hardy would be a world champion of any kind in my opinion so We move on to raw We started with and I coined this phrase before Michael Cole said it I'm saying that now I have witnesses. We started with a mismiss carol Where Alex Riley was ghost of Christmas past and Michael Cole was ghost of Christmas present. I don't know who ghost of Christmas future wasn't I really didn't care But that's how we're starting the show I think we can book better than this Well, one thing I'll say about this this um Miss thing is it's original.

It's something different now. Will I tire of it? Probably I'm already tired of it But him as chant I think it was a good direction for the company There's something different.

I mean, I guess it's I guess it's kind of a It's a catch 22 that's right because on one hand all we do on this show in this segment is clamor about something Different something different something different. Well there here's Vince going. Okay.

You want something different Here's miss is your champion. Yep So do we really have complaining rights? I don't have any problem with it I think it's kind of fun.

This thing can't go a long time now But one thing I have noticed and it was a theory I've had for a while. Did you watch any of the footage about him on Jimmy Kimmel? No Out of character Likeable Like when he's not being dumb is and he's just mic whatever his name is He's kind of he's kind of he's a little geeky.

Uh-huh, and he was really good on Jimmy Kimmel So I had that theory so it makes me know the guy okay the guy knows how to do his job I was just glad they didn't run and throw the belt back on orton which me orton have said this for a very long time Orton just can't carry the belt He just he brings no heat to it to me the title dies on him. I've always thought that does the title die on him or does he die on the title I think as to me the title is always a title. I just think there's there's some weird I don't know if it's a mental block with him, but when he has the belt It's like he has to try to argue to be bigger than life.

I think it's a little bit of both Because to me that it doesn't he doesn't cheapen the belt enough But it's just kind of like I made it's the pressure of being champion. Does it get to him? Maybe I just it's a very very strange thing Melina is now your number one contender for the divas title so much for that slow burn Is it was hello heel turn now she plants one across nattie's face So I guess that's gonna happen somebody different and I you know it I'm split on this because I think that I Like nattie with the belt But maybe it's time to move it to Melina, but the problem is if you put it on Melina she's injured in a month Yes, so I just I hope she can stay healthy because I think the two of them could work a really good program I wouldn't say it goes to Wrestlemania because you're talking three months right now unless that belt changes hands at the rumble Also Daniel Bryan I'm gonna throw a theory at you This whole thing with the Bella twins we work into a sibling rivalry kind of a deal Does he go Tommy dreamer?

I'll take them both because I'm hardcore I don't know man. I think it's time to move that belt off him He said his 14-year-old nephew texted in this morning said you're supposed to kiss him back Okay, I like the guy. I think it's time to move the belt.

Yeah, you've got to you've got to build heat with somebody and When you're on the when you're the US champion and you're in a dark match on a paper view That that concerns me. No, you know, you've got you've got gold. You don't need to be dark match.

Oh Santino and a tag match gets hit by his own cobra Then there's that very This guy's drowning. Yeah, this guy is drowning We've got we've got to get him back on track. Uh-huh.

This is bad I mean, I really thought they were gonna drop those belts to Nexus on Sunday. I was hoping And Vicki Guerrero I hope they're paying you a million dollars a year Because last night it was open season on Vicki Guerrero You know Kings cutting one on her from the from the tables. Cena's cutting one on her from the other side Let me just to let you know that this this Vicki thing That segment went 12 minutes.

Yeah, but it was good to see Cena with somebody else Besides the norm and you made me even Dolph maybe you'll throw something down You never know man, but then but you're gonna have to move on. Yeah, that's true. I don't know Tonight on Smackdown.

He was in a handicap match guys. Hey, man Vicki. So Lord only knows also Now we've got a scene a punk program Yeah, which they kind of teased a little bit on Sunday night during the paper view where punk was Well, why does You know How does this work?

Why you know He's already won the match. Why does he have to keep bullying Wade Barrett blah blah blah then last night he gets in the ring and plays one on On John Cena and walks out Josh Matthew stops him and says I just gave him a taste of his own medicine apparently This wasn't supposed to start until next month. Huh Do we tie somehow tie punk in the nexus You know, I thought about that This he become the the actual leader of the and the brain child behind nexus.

I I don't know Yes But the early reports are this is supposed to go through WrestleMania This is gonna be seen that punk is gonna be at WrestleMania you and I talked about this in pre-show. Yeah, why not Why not give John something else to do it'll be the first WrestleMania and how long since he For the title I just I'm He's not Hulk Hogan But but Vince wants that guy so bad And I think he's going down that same path without the heel turn which that I think we may have run that one in the ground you think uh-huh The the Cena heel turn theory. I think we may have actually officially run that into the ground um Yeah, they've got to do something they have to do something because it's driving me insane And that is your current wrestling talk for this week We get it now to one of my favorite parts of the deal not uh as we get into the time machine As Cody each week brings us this week in wrestling history just a few this week On this day 1999 Brett the hitman heart defeated Bill Goldberg for the W.

Yeah Didn't they try to do some kind of an online version of that too Something like that well I saw one of these and couldn't believe that people were spending good hard on money on it It's all about think about silly bands.

Yes stupid 1990 game boy. I remember this and we talked about this before the show I had one of these was my junior year of high school It was in the spring that they came out and I had one and a buddy of mine was gonna go sign my yearbook And he dropped the corner of my yearbook and broke the screen But I was able to convince the local Lionel toy world that it came that way It's changed it for because that was a hundred dollar piece of equipment that I had saved up money for And the original Game Boy it was black and white or black and green screen on it But it didn't light up you had to buy a light that you attached to the top of it that shut down on them Then you had the glare from the light in the middle possible Yeah, they of course followed by Game Boy color then became the DS now the DSI DSI yeah, so the Game Boy was kind of That was the stepping stone that Sega had the game gear game gear and then you also had Yeah game gears what that was called People have also taken the Game Boy hard drive and made it Put it in other computers Um, there's been Halloween costumes full-line Game Boy Of course the most popular game on Game Boy was of course Tetris Was a big player on there Number three 2008 PlayStation 3 the PS3 yeah, you know what and if I've got to choose I mean the Xbox 360 and the PS3 both have such Such pros and cons, but I think what gives the PS3 the edge is it kind of built in blue right player that's right See Microsoft when they released the 360 they thought HD DVD was gonna be the way to go But you had to buy it as an attachable hard drive Uh, they have not given in to blue right yet. I don't know why I think it would help their sales But it may be a hardware problem too.
