But we all know the Bengals are Super Bowl contenders.
Those two had a crossover when Joe Burrow hit some ******* dingers out at Cincinnati
Reds batting practice the other day.
And whenever we saw this earlier with Rappaport, I don't think we got to dig in enough.
His hair looks so ******* cool, A.J., and he is so athletic.
And look how much the entire Reds team loves this dude.
He's beloved by everybody, A.J.
Home run in Cincinnati with Joey Burrow being the quarterback.
This couldn't be a better situation for Cincy, for Joe.
I think the coolest part, obviously he's hitting dongers all day, is watching the
whole team stand there and watch them.
That doesn't happen.
The whole team doesn't come out and watch when people come take BP.
Yeah.
We don't have time for this ----.
I like how mad he got on that one.
We talked about that earlier.
I got pissed.
Like, oh, you *******.
Yeah.
Give me another one.
Please.
Hit the ball.
Gone.
See ya.
Out of the park.
And it's like a long list of things.
We didn't get a chance to see it earlier.
Sidney Crosby took BP with the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park in 2010, and he just starts
trying to figure it out, almost.
This is baseball.
Yeah, that's it.
Do you know whose voice that was?
Sean Casey.
Out of the stadium.
Sidney Crosby hits that ball out of the ******* stadium.
Then he says, yeah, I'm done, actually.
I'm out of here.
That's it.
Some of these athletes are such freak shows, A.J.
Sidney, obviously one of them.
A.J.
Brown, another one.
Now, he got drafted.
We learned earlier in a conversation, I did at least.
He got drafted to the Padres.
Yes.
I believe.
So he was a guy.
And whenever you watch him take BP here, the coach is probably like, goddamn, yeah, baseball.
Holy ----.
Holy ****.
I need this guy.
Everybody's pumped for him.
That ball is mashed.
A.J., you ever do BP?
Did you play baseball growing up?
And I assume you hit dingers, yeah?
Yeah, I took BP once with the Brewers.
How'd you do?
I had a couple dongers.
So everybody, does everybody hit one that does it?
Anyone that played most, like if you have a baseball background.
I mean, I've watched guys that are some of the best athletes in the world and they can't
get hit.
Slow pitch softball.
So like, it just depends if you've done it or not, I think.
So if you have the technique, probably going to be able to take BP out at some point.
Yeah.
Some people can, I guess.
Some people can't.
I don't know.
No, but we see a lot of people that do that.
Yeah, we do.
You don't?
No, you only see the people that do.
You don't see the people that don't.
Oh.
We saw me.
I did not.
Yeah, but you made contact.
Yeah, but I don't have the technique or the form.
Yeah, you weren't a baseball.
It feels like if you have the form, you're able to, like, A.J.
Brown's form.
If you hit it again, you would do it.
You would do it.
If you hit it again, you would hit Homer's.
I doubt it, Bob.
I doubt it.
I think you would.
I don't think so.
That was a really hard thing for me to do because I didn't play.
I think timing it all up is certainly an interesting thing, but when you watch some of these guys
hit this ball, it reminds us that there's some ******* superhuman out there.
Oh, yeah.
You know what I mean?
You also didn't try lefty, by the way.
Yeah, I can't wait to try lefty.
Yeah, if you had 100 balls, like, in BP, I bet you would have won.
Do you know how tired I would be?
I hit 50 golf balls upstairs.
I'm sweating my ass off.
Yeah, it is tiring.
How about Russell Wilson just being an actual guy?
Oh, yeah.
For sure.
He was drafted ahead of Judge.
And any time you see some-
What's that?
I thought he was.
Yeah, he was.
He was not drafted ahead of Judge, okay?
He's much older than Judge, first of all, and he was not drafted ahead of Judge.
Is that what it means?
He was drafted before Aaron Judge was drafted because he's older than him?
Technically, but Judge was a first-round pick, so Russell Wilson was not.
So, Diggs, why did you say that you have to have some angle?
I thought I'd-
Because that's the way he was.
He's just being an asshole.
Yeah.
Oh, really?
What pick was Judge?
Like, 33.
He was in the compensation round, so he-
Oh, so fake first-round.
No.
Still a first-rounder.
Did he play in college?
No.
Yes.
Where'd he play?
Where?
Fresno State.
Nice.
So, he didn't come right out-
Does anybody go right out of high school?
Oh, yeah.
Raise their majors?
The kid who is supposed to get drafted number-
Or a lot of people think is going to get drafted number one this year is from Franklin, Indiana.
Yeah, I saw him.
He just won Gatorade Player of the Year yesterday.
Yeah.
Oh, ----.
Had a little celebration.
He'll be able to play in the majors?
Yeah, but it's different.
Like, the-
I can't remember who.
Maybe he was talking to Pac-Man about this.
Like, the difference between being, like, an unbelievable high school player and even,
like, an unbelievable college player to being an unbelievable pro player.
Like, you don't see guys 19 years old, 20 years old playing in the majors.
Because you just, like-
That level of competition, even going from, like, single A to double A to triple A, like,
it ramps up so much.
Like, you just don't see it very often.
Go ahead, Tonath.
It feels like you have a stat or something.
No, no.
I was looking it up because I read it before.
Judgey must have been redrafted because he was originally drafted by the A's.
Out of high school.
Much farther down.
Oh.
Well, at a time, you're saying.
There was a time where Russell Wilson was drafted ahead of Aaron Judge.
And Aaron Judge obviously gets drafted in the first round after his time at Fresno.
But Russell Wilson's a guy.
And anytime we see people that are supposed to be one thing do something else and they
do well, we get jacked up.
And that's not just NFL quarterbacks.
No, no.
That could be comedians.
I seen Pete Davidson on a basketball court.
Yeah.
And I lost my ----.
This dude's a ******* baller.
Look at him.
Did you expect?
This was plus 10,000.
Yep.
Pete Davidson being a dog on the court.
I don't know if he dunked that or not.
Didn't watch the full video.
He's got handles and he attacks the ******* rim.
Pete Davidson's a dog, dude.
Looks like magic.
Did he play in high school?
It looks like it.
Seems like it.
I mean, look at this guy.
He's a ******* player.
Yeah, you're from New York.
He looks huge.
He's jacked.
You don't gotta be a jerk.
I'm not being a jerk.
The guy's very lean.
He looks great.
I didn't realize how tall and skinny he was.
Yeah, he is.
He is a lanky fella.
But I think that has played into his benefit through a lot of his life.
He looks like a basketball player.
The entire body's very lanky.
Yeah, very lanky individual.
He's got-
Nice pass.
Yeah, he's got joints in places other people don't.
He is a player, this guy.
Oh, yeah.
You know what I mean?
He's an absolute player.
And then you think about other people that we know for one thing, and then they do something
else.
And it's not the same reaction as we have whenever we see Pete Davidson going on the
opposite side with a lefty.
You know what I mean?
It's not the same as Joe Burrow hitting a ******* dinger and the boys getting pumped
up.
It's not the same as Russell Wilson hitting balls out of the park and everybody being
excited.
But whenever a motivational speaker gets on a basketball court and then he puts up a shot,
it gets blocked.
And then all of a sudden, he decides to hack the ---- out of somebody.
Our immediate response is like, hey, excuse me, Derek!
We love you!
We need you to stop doing that!
Somebody's going to take your head off your neck if you continue to play.
Boom!
That was a shot?
That was a shot he took?
Yeah, I blocked.
Somebody got their arm on it.
Look at that.
That's why he's so mad.
Blocking me, huh?
Block you!
Look at that closing speed, though.
Yeah, he dropped the hell out of that guy.
He's got burners.
First time we saw it, my initial thought was like, Gary, can't be doing...
Any pickup game I've ever played in, that is an immediate throw to the face of...
And everybody else potentially getting involved as well.
But Gary is Gary Vee, and he told us that he knows who and how he can play against who,
and he had it all under control.
But you watch Pete Davidson play, we think to ourselves, that's awesome.
We watch Gary Vee play, we go, Gary, we might lose you.
Someone's going to get in your face, Gary.
Can't be doing that.
Pete Davidson's a dog on that court, though.
That needs to be recognized.
Lefty finish on the right side.
Bro, clean.
And then a shot.
Smooth.
He's not playing with a bunch of scrubs at YMCA either.
That's an open run at UNLV.
He's got some ******* guys out there.
And there was people seemingly playing actual defense.
Some of those clips we see, not really.
No.
A little bit of a gimmick.
So was Gary, though.
Check out that outlet pass after he gets blocked.
That was pretty skillful.
Yeah, that was a tip, throw, how you doing, keep it moving from a guy in tights.
I didn't realize he shoots like Clay Thompson.
Yeah, well, he's got the perfect form, he's Gary Vee.
That's why we need him to continue to be able to play on basketball courts.
He won in Jordan's?
Yeah.
Yes.
Jordan gave him to him.
He signed him and gave him to him.
Yeah, after he played against Jordan.
Are we sure this guy didn't foul Gary on the shot, and he's just getting him back here?
There's a chance.
You want to call a foul?
Call a foul.
You know what I mean?
If you want to call it, you can call it.
That's a clean block.
It feels like they're wearing jerseys, too.
Is this an actual game?
You think he undercuts people ever?
You think he just goes and undercuts guys like that?
This is a league.
I do wonder if he ******* low bridges people at all.
This is a league.
They're keeping score?
There's jerseys.
Like shirts and skins?
He's the Fulton Reed of this league.
Yeah.
Yeah, bad boy.
All right.
Let's get the **** out of here and have a weekend, huh?
