Transcript of Top 5 South Florida Sports Personalities Of All Time | Local Hour New

Greg, have you been told anything about the new game that we're playing today with you?

I have not.

You don't know?

It scares me.

You don't know anything? I saw last night there were a group of people scheming and devising, because I asked them, I'm like, the Greg Cody Show featuring Greg Cody has a segment that I want and I want to steal that takes advantage of how little you know about movies, but let's deceive and disguise it so that people don't know that we're stealing it. And I asked Zazz and Chris and Roy and Tony to come up. With a plan to do a movie game with you, because I thought the best part of yesterday's show was you thinking that Al Pacino was in Bull Durham, and you thinking that Al Pacino was in Raging Bull, and you thinking that the line—

You're not man enough for the truth!

—in A Few Good Men was, "You're not man enough for the truth." And so I want to take advantage of your general lack of movie knowledge. And you didn't know until now that we're doing that? I see from your body language you don't like it. Yeah, it's—

I mean, well, it's— into the mic. I'm into the mic.

I'm annoyed, um, with the game. Oh wow, $5. Into the mic. What you do is you clear your throat in the mic. You don't talk into the mic, but you clear your throat directly into the mic. The chair.

This is, uh, this is grand theft bit. Grand theft show bit.

We're doing it differently.

Oh no. Yeah, right. You're not calling it Greg Doesn't Know Movies. It's just the exact same premise.

It's kind of the exact same premise. It has the foundational sameness. A little tweak though.

A little tweak. But it does have—

it's got— it's not a little tweak. I think it's a different game.

Yeah, next you're going to come from Dad Jokes and you're going to steal Three Facts Jack. Pretty soon my whole show will be usurped by the Levitard Show. I'll have no show left. It'll just be me singing and yodeling into a mic and nobody will be listening. It'll be the sad yodeling ending.

When did yodeling end? Anybody got an idea of when it is that yodeling—

No, they're still killing it.

No, yodeling is not— is absolutely not killing it.

Yeah, it's still big in the Swiss Alps. Putting up—

put it on the poll, please, @LebatardShow. Is yodeling still big in the Swiss Alps?

I got the internet telling me yodeling has never truly ended. True. It's eternal.

It used to be big in country music back in the country and Western days.

Put it on the poll as well at Le Batard Show. Did— was yodeling ever big in country music? And also put it on the poll at Le Batard Show.

Is yodeling still a thing? Are there different variations of yodeling? Because to me it's just yodel-ay, yodel-ay, yodel-ay, hee-hoo.

What's funny about this is I'm thinking that yodeling is so old that there are generations right now that before you made that sound had no idea what yodeling was.

None. So the yodeling golden age, uh, according to the internet, is 1920s to 1950s. That's when it was just absolutely rocking. Greg, obviously you'd know that, but it started to fade in the '50s.

But they need another banger. All they have is what I just said.

What's the other known one? I basically— I associate that with Price Is Right.

I have a—

This is the Don Levittor Show with the Stugatz Podcast. Chris Cody, get those famous movie quotes going to see how long we can do this with your father over several segments because his movie knowledge is not great and we have some famous movie clips to play for you and to have you guess perhaps where the movie is from. Oh, you're already defeated? You're already beaten down by this? I mean, I don't know movies.

I'm not a moviegoer. I'm not a movie knower. That's a shirt right there, man.

It is. Just play, play one of these real quick. Any of those.

Oh, we playing our game show?

Well, oh wow. Okay. We already got imaging. Oh, that sounds like just a terrible 1980s video game. That music sounds terrible.

Here's our first movie line for Greg Cody. Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker!

All right, I heard the MF. What was the first thing he said? Yippee-ki-yay! Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker! No, you don't know what that is. Saving Private Ryan. Oh my God, Saving Corporal Ryan, the sequel. I don't know, I don't know it. Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker! How would I know that? Although yippee-ki-yay is a form of yodeling, in my opinion.

Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Is Yippee-Ki-Yay a form of yodeling? It's a good game. It's not good music, but just keep it in the holster. We— is he going to get any of these? If he doesn't get this, is he going to get anything else?

He should have gotten that. He should have gotten that. What is it then? It made its way—

it's from Die Hard. It's Bruce Willis, but it made its way from the movies into pop culture. Like, the reason this is going to be funny is not just because they're famous movies into just being a part of the fabric of popular culture. So when I say "Yippee-ki-yay" about anything to anyone, they know the movie I'm referencing because Bruce Willis made it more famous than it originally was. Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker!

So that was Willis's voice? Yes. I feel like "Yippee-ki-yay," like the Lone Ranger and Tonto were saying "Yippee-ki-yay." You know who Bruce Willis is, right?

From Moonlighting?

Yeah, I've heard of him.

I've heard of Bruce Willis. You say, uh, you say you recognize his voice, and it— I actually asked this question of somebody recently, and I had never considered it before. Is the voice unique to every single human being on Earth, that there is no one anywhere in the world who has Greg Cody's voice? There's not somebody in India who sounds exactly like Greg Cody? Are all voices like fingerprints, that no one in the world sounds like exactly someone else? A voice doppelganger? You guys, when I ask that question, and I don't think of them as fingerprints, I assume someone in the world has the same voice that I do. I assume that they're not fingerprints, but I may have this wrong.

My brother and I have a very similar voice, so much so that when we talk to my mom or my wife or his wife, they don't know who's talking. Is it me? Is it my brother? So we're very close in voice.

I mean, you may remember it was a few years ago, right? If you were watching Marlins games, I couldn't tell the difference between who was talking between Severino and Hollinsworth.

That was a good one. That's a great shout.

Uh, when I asked the question though, you have to guess and be right, not look at the internet or anything else. And put this on the poll, Juju at Le Batard Show. Does anyone else in the world have exactly the same voice that you do? Yes or no? Because I did not. They say snowflakes, they're all different. Uh, I'm not talking about the same political snowflakes. Uh, I don't know if that's true or not, but fingerprints, they're all unique to us. They're all unique to each person.

I didn't think voice was, did you? I never gave it much thought, to be honest with you, but I think the clear answer is no. Nobody else has a voice exactly like yours.

It seems like there would be so many people in the world that just simply mathematically there wouldn't be that many different alterations and degrees and shades of voice possible to cover all of the people in the world. There wouldn't be more choices on degrees of what voices sound like than the number of people there have ever been in the world, because it's not It's not just people right now, it's ever. No one's ever had your voice. There's not some dude in the 1800s who was talking just like Zazz.

D'aww. Yeah! Are we excluding twins here?

I don't want to do this again.

Can we move on from this?

Chris, do they sound the same? That's kind of cheating a little bit. No, it's not cheating. In terms of unusual weird questions that don't have anything to do with anything, also on my way in this morning I thought about this. It can't be just specific to me. Put it on the poll at Le Batard Show. Do you lose respect for the guy in a suit when he's riding a scooter? Yes or no? Yes or no? It's just, do you lose respect for the guy in the suit when you see him on the roads on a scooter?

With a helmet on? Yes! With the helmet.

Yes! Clearly.

But I'm not, I'm actually not even talking, I'm not even talking about that kind of scooter because what I saw today is the skateboard scooter, like whatever that, Segway, whatever those called? I don't know if they would have another name.

Is it just the one wheel in the middle and the guy's trying to like—

it's not one wheel in the middle. I don't think that— wait, that's—

I've seen those. Those are—

that's a circus. Wait a minute, there's one wheel in the middle? I think of these vehicles as all having at least two wheels.

No, no, no, the one that I'm talking about, it's like a skateboard but the wheel is in the middle, so you're balancing it and the wheel's in the middle. Those things—

that's a tricycle. I know tricycle's three, tri.

I was talking about, uh, that's a unicycle. I'm talking about the, the, you know, the scooter I'm talking about where you're standing on it. You're not sure, not sitting on it. I get it. Yeah.

Yes or no? Yes, they've been around a while.

No, do you lose respect?

Yes or no? Yeah, no, it's jarring. I mean, it's jarring. Like, it'd be like driving and looking in the next lane and the guy driving the car next to you is wearing a full clown outfit including the big red nose. When you see the scooter is a clown is what you're saying? Well, when you see it, it's jarring to look at, you know. You, you assume that the person driving a scooter is gonna be, you know, just some ne'er-do-well. Whoa! You don't assume it's gonna be a businessman.

A ne'er-do-well?

Why do you assume that about the scooter? I don't do any profiling based on the scooter except for losing respect for the guy who's in a suit. Well, that's the only profiling I'm willing to do.

I feel like you're playing the similar game, just saying it differently.

I profile. Yeah, I don't mind saying that. Here's another example I'll give you. When I see a grown man riding a bicycle, I assume he's had a DUI and temporarily lost his license.

I was riding a bike yesterday.

Okay, I was saying, and so don't drink and drive. Look at Labattard racking up Deweys. Why would people assume that when they see a grown man riding a bike?

This is a bicycle town.

Like, this is the only exception is if in here, if you're doing this, they assume you're an idiot. If you're riding a bicycle but it's a souped-up bike and you're dressed like Lance Armstrong, you know, with all the getup and the bright— I did that just today. That's enough of those guys, dude.

A heavyset person wearing the skin tight is never good.

Yeah, you can't do that, Dan.

If I see your ass crack, I don't want to see you in a biking outfit.

He's not wrong. Really? Already? I'm gonna be worn out by this bit.

Let's go ahead and play the next movie sound. I see dead people.

Oh, now that phrase I know.

But you don't know the movie? No.

This is every time with Greg doesn't know movies, he's like, oh yes, I know this guy.

I know I see dead people.

I see dead people. What is the premise of it?

I assume it's a horror movie. See, I'm putting two and two together.

But not really. It's not Ratatouille. Ratatouille. What?

No.

No? So wait, you went from—

The Shining! The Shining! That's the better answer because The Shining— Still the wrong answer.

It's a better answer, but only because nothing could be worse than Ratatouille. Like, you went from horror movie to a cartoon!

At least they call them animated films, Dan.

It doesn't even make sense what you just did, Dan.

I know, it really doesn't.

This is another Bruce Willis vehicle. Does that help you at all?

Now that's not Willis talking, right? He's right about that. He's right. Let me say something about—

nailed it.

Let me say something about Bruce Willis.

All right.

And I know he's going through health issues. I don't mean a criticism of Bruce Willis, but very nondescript voice. Like, like when you hear an Al Pacino or a De Niro, they have a very distinct voice. You know exactly who it is. You didn't know either of those guys. Bruce Willis, I don't think, has a distinctive voice. That's not him.

Who's wrong? You're deflecting right now. You're wrong.

Am I wrong? You are wrong. Nobody in the history of mimicry has done a Bruce Willis impersonation.

That might be true. Do you know what the premise of the movie is, or you have no idea anything we're talking about?

The dead people? Uh, it's a spoiler. Dead people?

Yes. Yes.

No, I don't know what movie it is, so how would I know?

All right, so, uh, spoiler alert, uh, does this help you at all? It's a movie that has a plot twist at the end that reveals that everything it is that you have been watching beforehand was an altered sense of reality. The plot twist at the end is, I see dead people. That's the plot twist.

Yes, that's, that's, that's lazy of the filmmaker. That's like, I hate it when filmmakers do this. You devote 90 minutes of your life to watching a film, and then in the very end you find out it was all a dream. That's not what— It was all a dream. None of it happened. All right, that's not what happened.

Ridiculum. Ridiculum. All right, the name of the movie is The Sixth Sense. We'll put this aside for the moment because I think he's going to go 0 for 12.

It's terrible music, but it might grow on me.

It's happy music though, I like it. Shabba! Man, let me tell you something, bruh. One of the best decisions I made as an adult is to start selling my merch.

Don Lebatard, surely every time you're watching this, you recognize that your wife is laughing that she married, she married Larry David.

I do. Yeah. One of the great characters in the history of television, in my humble opinion. And, uh, and to my credit, uh, my personality—

in my humble opinion followed by to my credit. It's amazing. My personality— just amazing.

Free date. Curb your enthusiasm.

Stugatz. Oh wow.

I'm not going to say Larry David patterned himself after me.

All right, put it on the poll, please, Jude. You did, Greg Cody, copyright being an asshole long before Larry David.

This is the Don Levitar Show with the Stugatz.

I want to play for you guys and the audience a clip that's a little bit long. I don't know if you guys have noticed in general what it is that's happening to local news. I know I lament all the time the great danger in the fact that local news is falling apart, but I see it on my newscasts where the anchors are wearing cheaper clothes than I'm used to them wear— wearing in the '90s. The sets look like they're stuck in the '90s, some of them, because local news has not had a money transfusion. But on local news yesterday, I don't— none of you are watching 6 PM local news, correct? That is not Put it on the poll. Absolutely. Are you still watching 6 PM local news? Yes or no. But yesterday on the news, they had an exclusive on Channel 7, and it, it made me both, uh, sad and worried for Warren Sapp. Now, um, in the history of South Florida, I don't know that I can name a lot of sports personalities bigger in our entire history than Warren Sapp. Go ahead and come up with me a list of the biggest personalities that we have had in this market, because before I play this clip, okay, I will tell you on the front end that my experiences with Warren Sapp is that sometimes he is legitimately the only athlete in South Florida history that I've ever feared.

Because he behaves with me a couple of different times in a way that's very intimidating and makes me feel like he's trying to make me feel small physically, emotionally, and otherwise. And other times he's hugely affable and really nice, and I never know which one it is that I'm going to get. Now, I've heard him talk about how much CTE he feels like he already has. I've heard him talk about having to write things in his phone to remind him how to get home he played a very violent physical position. But when I saw this piece last night on the local news, my worry for him in general went through the roof. So watch this video here. He is warring with the Hollywood Police Department.

I came to ask questions of my government.

The NFL great providing an exclusive interview to 7 News days after we broke the story. Of a court order he must follow connected to testy on-camera encounters with Hollywood cops and city employees. He was issued a notice to appear in court after another contentious encounter. You feel this is your calling now? This is. Now that you're doing this and a champion of people's rights and the First Amendment, why do you need to go into the police department, into City Hall, and get to the point where you're this close to getting arrested? Am I? It looks that way.

So I was going to make you arrest me today. I promise you.

What do you think of the judge and the court order from Thursday? Have you seen it? Yes, I have.

What am I required to do?

You got to call twice a week. I call every day. Okay. You can't be around. You can't be around the third floor in the records department. Don't you think there's a thin line, though? No. Between being a steward of the First Amendment being someone who is paying attention to laws and trying to get people to ask questions and think and take video, and being someone who comes across as a jerk?

I've never been a nice guy, so you think I give a damn about what you think of me?

Do you like being perceived as a jerk?

Is that it? I'm asking. No, I'm saying, is that— that's the— that's the word?

Didn't you just say, no, I just have not been a nice guy? So don't— is that—

no, nice guy and jerk are two distinctly different words. That's a different word too, right?

That's the word you used. But if—

no, no, I'm definitely using the word. I'm giving Examples. Okay, so, so, so, jerk. What degree would you put jerk?

What is the endgame?

Transparency and accountability. Because what happened to me in City Hall was a crime. I was assaulted by the officer.

Sapp says he was assaulted by a cop during a 2025 exchange. There's a court order.

Are you going to stay away from the third floor? You're like an officer. I don't need to answer you.

I'm asking.

I don't need to.

This is my job to ask you questions. That's all. Next question. What about these city employees they told you to stay away from? You gonna stay away from them? You don't wanna answer that one either. Next. Hollywood police say his demeanor has become increasingly aggressive when encountering city employees, to the point where some feel unsettled and intimidated. It isn't done. It ain't done. Tell me. Tell me what you mean.

I got a June 10th court date, brother. It ain't even done. It ain't done, no, not even a little bit.

All right, I gotta go and listen to him.

They— you saw they moved it to the mental health division, right?

I did not. No.

Check that one.

So do they think you're mentally unwell? I don't know. Are you mentally well?

Excuse me?

Are you mentally well? Are you a doctor to be able to diagnose that? No, but I'm a reporter who has got to ask questions. Me either.

I feel well every morning I wake up, man. That's important.

I don't have no issues. What are your thoughts there, Greg, as someone who's covered him since he was in college?

I'm a little worried for him. You mentioned CTE. He could, he could be, have a degree of bipolar. Mental health issues are in play there, perhaps. I don't know. Like, like, he may be just looking for attention. I don't know what he's doing for a living now, whether he's still on TV. He used to be. He's not anymore. I, I don't know enough about his life right now to sort of diagnose what I feel about that, except to say I feel bad for him.

Okay, so you did sort of diagnose him with bipolar, but I will tell you, okay, and I've said this before, it's Mental Health Awareness Week, and there are dangers in being a doctor when you don't know what's going on. But before I go down this path of talking what specifically happened with my brother that recognize— that makes me recognize some of what it is that I see there, Uh, Zazz, your take was what on what you just saw?

Yeah, I, I lean more toward—

I'm certainly not willing to diagnose him as someone who has a mental health issue going on right now. Like, to me, I think he's coming off as someone who is upset about an incident he had with the police in 2025 and thinks that he understands the system and his rights better than everyone else around him. Like, he's clearly motivated. He has a motivation here, what he's trying to accomplish. And I feel like he's coming off like he knows more about it than everyone else.

Well, he may have indeed been wronged, and there are a number of ingredients here that can make that so, including just the climate in this country and where it is that a Black person's relationship can be with the police. And so when you get the detail that this court date is in the mental health portion of the facility, it may be because he's having mental health issues that are empirical, or it may be that they're trying to make him look bad because They're trying to set up the case against him. But when my brother looked the same in all ways but was himself a different person with whatever the episodes would be that have mania in them and bulletproof, he thought he was right and everyone else was wrong and that he could overturn the entirety of the system. And a clip we didn't play there that you would have seen that could have escalated is the police officer says to Warren 'If you touch me, we have a problem.' And Warren Sapp says back, 'Vice versa, if you touch me, we have a problem.' And that's where those things shoot into the sky, and then you get all sorts of problems.

This didn't feel stable to me. Like, he can be right and in pursuit of justice, and I may have this wrong, but when I'm watching that interview, I'm seeing both the Warren Sapp I've seen since college, who can anywhere in terms of Tempest. I'm also seeing what looks like in his eyes when you're watching the video, a craze. Like, it, it looks like this. If— when he's calling it his cause, I'm telling you, I saw with my brother. I did not recognize my brother at the end because of whatever it is that happened to his brain chemistry that needed something that he wasn't getting, but it looked like that. Like it's just, I'm right about this and everyone else is wrong.

That's the impression I got from watching that. He knows better than everyone else. Now, it could be exactly what you said, that there's a mental issue going on there. But at the same time, what I just saw there from Warren Sapp, also to your point, not that far off from what I've seen from Warren Sapp over the years.

But the reason I want to have the conversation with you guys, okay, It's easy for all of us now to diagnose Antonio Brown, but when you have somebody in New York shooting all over the place and killing himself in front of the NFL building and leaving a note that says, "I have CTE," and then he is diagnosed with indeed CTE, my question to you is, what do you think it looks like? What do you think— what— when you talk about Mental Health Awareness Month, what do you think it looks like because when you have some of these kinds of displays where the behavior seems unstable, it doesn't seem like a righteous fight, though it may be. I, I want to keep saying, I don't actually know if he's been wronged. I know that however he's going about trying to fix it, that's not going to work. Like, whatever it is that people see there, when you put it— pair it against him also saying, look, I have CTE, I have trouble finding my way home, I have to write I write things down so I know whether I've done them or I haven't done them.

And so nobody can argue if he's saying he has CTE and these are the symptoms and these are the results and this is how CTE has changed my life. That's, you know, he's an eyewitness to his own pain. When I see that, if I'm Warren Sapp's mother or his partner or his best friend, I see that and I worry. For Warren Sapp. I am very concerned that, that this is the beginning of really going off the rails.

I want to re-ask the question though. I remember being on when the Ray Rice video broke and saying to the audience, what do you think domestic violence looks like? Because that video was sort of illuminating to a lot of people that one of the tiny guys in the NFL would have domestic violence look that way. You were reading about it in the paper, you weren't actually seeing it. It. Since we don't know how to diagnose concussions in the NFL with the world's best doctors, since brain chemistry is a complicated and difficult thing that the science is evolving on, I will ask you guys again, what do you think it looks like? Because if this doesn't reach you when it's one of the biggest personalities in the history of South Florida sports, a Hall of Famer, if it doesn't make you feel some kind of way, I don't think we're actively thinking about very much. What does it look like? What are the consequences of battering your face against somebody in a way that can get 20 sacks, you know, up the middle of the field in a season? Right. What does that do to your long-term health?

Because if he's already telling you he has all of the symptoms and this is the behavior, where are you inclined to think when they put the, the hearing in a mental health facility? Are you, are you inclined to think that he's mentally unwell, or are you inclined to think that the police are doing something to smear him?

I'm inclined to think that that he has shown indications of a mental health issue, and I'm not surprised that the cops have put him in that division. Um, I, I think that's what CTE looks like, is that kind of behavior. The thing that scared me about that is that in one second he's being very angry, and, and with good reason. The, the reporter basically called him a jerk, or, or called his behavior jerk behavior. He didn't bring up that word first, the reporter did. If somebody called me a jerk in that context, I'm probably pretty angry too.

But it came off of him saying, I've never been a nice guy, which isn't something you hear very often from an athlete.

I know, but the thing is, in foot— in, in the context of his career, in the context of what made him famous and successful, not being a very nice guy worked to his benefit. He was the guy you were afraid of if you were the center of the opposing team. In real life, now in retirement, there's a whole different connotation to not being a nice guy. When you're fighting with cops, that's just plain dumb. I'm not saying— look, if I'm going to put it in a tiny little context, I'm usually overly nice to cops when I get stopped for speeding or something. But there was this one time I got stopped for going 47 in a 40, and I'm like, I'm like, is it the end of the month? You got a quota to meet? Oh no, no, I did. And obviously that didn't go over well, and I got a ticket for this and something else having to do with my car. The point is, you don't win a conversation with a cop, let alone an argument or a beef like that.

He doesn't even realize how privileged he's speaking in order to be able to feel free enough to talk that way to a police officer.

Because he talked that way to a police officer, he tacked on another thing. Yes, that happened to your car. Correct. Yeah, it's compounding the issue. I know. And, and it was, you know, normally I'm overly nice, and that's gotten me out of a couple of tickets as which is white guy syndrome, perhaps. But in Warren Sapp's case, he's not doing— and that's the thing that scares me right there. Look at those eyes. And when you go from being extremely angry one second to looking at the camera and grinning the next—

that's an unfair photo.

It is unfair. That is media.

They could have put any still shot from that interview.

That is absolutely unfair. That is media bias. That is sensational. Shame on you, Channel 7.

I was surprised to learn his middle name's Carlos. That was a swerve.

Put it on the poll at Le Batard Show. Are you surprised to know that Warren Sapp's middle name is Carlos? Don Le Batard.

What do I got here? I got a Magnum condom. Um, we won't get that out.

That's shocking. Stugatz.

Here's a picture of Christopher when he was like 3 years old, right next to the condom. Yeah, yeah.

Never forget. This is the Dan Levatar Show with the Stugatz.

Can you guys get me a list? If we were making a list of the top 5, uh, biggest personalities in the history of South Florida sports, would Warren Sapp indeed make the list? Yes, he would make your top 5.

Uh, I, I wrote down a list of 10 or 12 names here I can read.

But would he make your top 5?

I'm not sure if he would.

Because you said yes flatly. You also said you weren't going to diagnose him and then diagnosed him as both bipolar and having CTE. Well, first of all, my concern is that he may have bipolar.

My concern is that based on visual evidence and that kind of thing. I never said he said CTE.

That's a strange place for one of your catchphrases.

It worked better than "and you know it." No, I think that he— and he said he had CTE. That's correct. Okay, well, I didn't say it. I'm agreeing with him. Yeah, Warren, I think you do have CTE.

You did say it, and he did say it. I'm just pointing out your general flimsiness in terms of consistency.

Okay, the one thing I want to emphasize is that— and we're having a couple of laughs with this— that's not a funny matter. Matter what, what's happening with Warren Sapp. I wish him well because, like I say, if I were his best buddy or his neighbor or his loved one, I'd be concerned for the guy.

I've, I've just never in my history in South Florida had this particular relationship. Now, uh, when he was in college, I interviewed him one time, uh, when he was at a frat house. I just went and did the interview, and from the beginning, just an amazing talker. and a giant personality, just had so many opinions. I was legitimately startled by the interview because of how good it was, because this was a person coming into the league that is generally pretty conservative and the personalities weren't like this. So give me some of the lists, some of your names when you were to put together the biggest personalities we've ever had in South Florida sports.

If I'm starting chronologically, I'm starting with Ray Hudson. Of the Strikers who at halftime would conjure up, you know, funny colorful quotes he was going to say to the media after the game. The coach of that team was Ron Newman who once popped up out of a coffin to announce that their 3-game losing streak was over. Antonio Brown—

Actually, can you just stop for a second because you were so excited to talk about the 1977 Fort Lauderdale Strikers that I want to give you your music so that you can have the floor to tell us about about sports again from 50 years ago?

I mean, what can I tell you? The Fort Lauderdale Strikers were one of a kind. They played at Lockhart Stadium. They sold out an 18,000-seat stadium. Ray Hudson was colorful, white as a milk bottle, because he was barely 20 years old. He'd just come over from London, or a suburb of London. All of a sudden he's in Fort Lauderdale, which is a dream of his. The NHL at the time was big. They were pretty big at that time. Ray Hudson, colorful, just engaging. Like I say, he literally devised quotes at halftime. The coach is talking and he's thinking of what he's going to say to amuse the media afterward. Love that guy, still do. He's been on the Greg Cody Show podcast a few times. First guest ever. Ron Newman was a colorful coach. He was to that team probably what Ron Frazier was to UM baseball A lot of colorful figures.

All right, can we get in this century, please? Oh, okay.

I mean, I have a list here. I have a whole list. As recently as Jimmy Butler, I think, fits this category of outsized personalities. Michael Irvin is absolutely in my top 5. Matthew Kachuk, I think, is— Jimmy Johnson, if we're going outside of players to coaches, Jimmy Johnson, absolutely. Ray Lewis, of course. Ozzie Guillén, Marlins manager for a minute, had his moments. There's been a lot of colorful characters. Most of them are also very accomplished, and most of them are very successful. Not all of them go off the rails.

Zazz, none of them have gone off the rails. Ozzy? Well, you're right. Ozzy and Michael Irvin, I should say.

Ray Lewis had a couple of moments.

Yes, he did. You know what? I stand corrected.

Who stayed on the rails? My fault.

Zazzlo, what would be your top 5? Does Warren Sapp crack your top 5? No. Wow, that seemed aggressive. It seemed unnecessarily aggressive.

Just an answer to a question is all it is. Efficient exclamation point. Number 5, Joey Porter. Number 4, Chris Anderson. Birdman. You know about that Birdman. Number 3, Jose Fernandez. Number 2, 2, Shaquille O'Neal. Okay. Number 1, Michael Arvin. I'm offended by your list.

You can't have Chris Anderson ahead of Warren Sapp. No, you can't do that. You can't do that. What are you doing? What? He's got a bunch of tattoos and you're— you know about that mohawk. He was not a colorful talker. He was just draped in tattoos and was a white guy who could jump in the league.

And for here, for a season and a half. Yeah, that's unbelievable.

What you just did, putting Chris Anderson ahead of Warren Sapp. That's disrespectful.

I've got a couple more to salvage his list, Dan. How about Jose Canseco? Okay, that's a good one.

Yeah. How about Ricky Williams?

Uh-huh, another good one. So if we kind of— quiet— if we had to do top 5, if we had to do top 5, I'm surprised if any of you wouldn't put Warren Sapp in your top 5. Like, you guys did not give me That whole list, there weren't 4 better. Like Michael Irvin, I think, is Michael Irvin's the consensus. Michael Irvin, everyone would say Michael Irvin.

Jerome Brown be on there. Yeah, think about that one though.

Not long enough. Ray Hudson's honestly a good one. Jerome Brown became more of a personality when he left the University of Miami. Warren Sapp was a personality from the beginning. If you want to go old school, Greg Cody's time, I think Mercury Morris would have to be on any top 5 list. Yeah.

Yeah, he was, he was definitely a colorful personality. Some of these guys like Ricky Williams, I think, was almost the opposite.

He's in the Birdman category where he was interesting, but the personality wasn't. Yeah.

Like, if anything, he was like introverted and wearing a helmet during interviews. And I don't know. And Shaquille O'Neal, I might take issue with, you know what? Shaquille O'Neal physically was larger than life.

What are you talking about? He's one of the biggest— metaphorically, one of the biggest personalities.

He arrived in a 13-wheeler. No, I understand.

No, I understand. During interviews, though, if you weren't standing right next to the mumbler, the worst mumbler in the history of interviews, if you weren't standing right next to him, you didn't hear him.

Ricky wore a wedding dress on ESPN The Magazine.

That was Dan's fault.

Yeah, it was Dan's fault. Yeah. Contrived. He still did it.

It was my fault, though.

He was also with the Saints when that happened.

All right. Here's our third movie line for Greg Cody.

Okay. I love the smell of night palm in the morning. Oh, uh, Good Morning Vietnam. No, close. I mean, it's a war movie. Black Hawk Down? No, further.

Come in the morning, same war, earlier, same war, 1970s, 19—

it's a movie from the 1970s. It's your wheelhouse.

Um, I think I already guessed Private Ryan. Saving Private Ryan. Vietnam era. Vietnam. Good. That's why I said good morning. That's why I said you were close. I don't know. I don't know. I love this.

What do you think is the, is the most famous war movie of all time? Um, Apocalypse Now. Oh, good job. Good job, Dan. I wasn't naming the movie. I was saying what was happening during our show.

Is that the name of the movie, Apocalypse Now? Yeah. Yeah. Yes.

All right, I feel like we need to give my man a victory. I got one here.

You don't have one. You're not gonna—

I've got one here.

I don't want to give him a victory yet. I want to see it. No, let's, let's see if we can make him go 0 for 11. Put that one at the end and we'll see if we can finish the show with him getting it right.

You don't want to give him like some, maybe, you know, some self-esteem?

Well, I, I will give him some, um, self-esteem. I don't want to give him some confidence going into the game. It's better if he goes 0 for 11. I don't know why I have to explain this to you guys. Like, it seems like you've been in the business for a while. It seems like we've been doing this together for a while.

You just want the same— like, I don't really know.

Okay, over and over.

Okay, so you want to— so you want to have range, just to be clear. You want to have range with the segment that's stolen from The Greg Cody Show featuring Greg Cody.

As the creator of The Greg Cody Show— Greg Doesn't Know Movies— the best ones are the ones where you're like, he has to know this one, and then he'll still impress us and miss it. So I'm telling you, you got to You got to work some of these easy ones in.

Okay. And I wouldn't—

we've said that, by the way, for every one of these already. He has to know this one.

Oh, they weren't— they weren't typical, normal. They are very famous movie lines. Famous because you can recite a line. You should— when Christopher and my other son are together in the house, their whole conversation is just going back and forth reciting lines from movies. Who has a conversation like that?

That's what guys do.

I know. I'm ashamed to be a guy. I'm the kind of guy that the kind of guy who doesn't recite lines from movies. That's who I am.

Retroactively, I want to go back a couple of weeks ago because Greg Cody has never been sharper than when I said that Reuben Bain is the greatest pass rusher in University of Miami history. And he went in and he said, "Ted Hendricks would like a word." Yeah. And he's right. Hall of Famer. Ted Hendricks, the Hall of Famer, would like a word, but was drafted drafted in the second round in the 30s. The Hurricanes have never had an edge rusher drafted this high, correct? I think Bill Hawkins was drafted in the late first round, but this is, this is the highest an edge rusher has ever been selected by the NFL, correct?

I think so. I haven't done the research. I think so. But as we all know, that doesn't always equate to success. No, but it just— Tua Tagovailoa was drafted number 5 overall.

But I'm just saying, when the NFL was making its measurements on the investments that they are trying to put together in their business. They said that Reuben Bain has a skill set at pass rusher that is more valuable than anyone has ever seen while at the University of Miami. Yeah. Ted Hendricks then became a Hall of Famer, as you said. But that's— I'm just talking about while he was in school, right? The NFL has never valued more a skill set that can get to the quarterback than the one that Reuben Bain has had at the University of Miami.

I totally agree, and I think he's going to have a great career, but with the short arm thing, and, and there was a reason why he didn't go 5th or 8th. A lot of people thought he was going to go number 8 to New Orleans, and he dropped a couple below that. So my point— he's not a perfect candidate.

My point is, though, given where he was drafted, I, I'm wanting to know from you guys, is it unreasonable to place the expectation on Reuben Bain as borderline Hall of Famer? Is that an unreasonable expectation to make based on the fact that the University of Miami has been playing football for a long time and there's never been a guy that the NFL has looked at and said, this guy has the skill set to do this better than any other guy we've seen at your school?

I mean, he, he was the most impactful defender on the second-best team in the whole country. Yes, he has the potential to be a Hall of Famer, but right now, I mean, Jalen Phillips was drafted in the second round, I think, and he's had—

where was Calais Campbell taken? How? Why? How late was Calais Campbell taken? Because the only thing—

the teens, right?

The only thing that I remember like this in the history of the university that would be comparable, when I saw it on the field, is the 3 guys— there's only 3 for me, and 2 of them are edge rushers, and the other's Warren Sapp. It wasn't even Cortez Kennedy for me, who went— he went 1 overall. It wasn't even Cortez Kennedy. It was 3 guys I saw at the University of Miami that I said, that guy could get to the quarterback at any level. And it's Calais Campbell, it's Reuben Bain, and it's Warren Sapp. There is no fourth for me.

I mean, Jerome Brown was pretty good. Cortez Kennedy, you mentioned. They've had a lot of great defensive linemen and edge rushers. A lot. And I just—

Greg, they have not had a lot of edge rushers. They've had a lot of great interior defensive linemen. They have not had a lot of great edge rushers.

They've had outside linebackers, edge, whatever, however you want to define They've had a lot of great pass rushers, but I don't assume anybody is going to be a Hall of Famer. I don't assume Fernando Mendoza is going to be all that. He has to show it.

Jalen Phillips drafted 18th overall. Greg Rousseau also back into the first round. Calais Campbell, second round, 50th pick overall.

I was way off of Calais Campbell.
