- 1-0 pitch. There's a flare out to right field, and there it is. Hit number 3,000 for Albert Pujols.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
JARED QUAY: The Los Angeles Angels are releasing future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols, who's currently in the final year of a 10-year, $240 million contract. Yeah, that's a lot of cash. In 21 big league seasons, he's fifth in all-time home runs and third in RBIs.
[CRACK OF THE BAT]
- That is hammered into left.
- Oh, my gosh.
- That ball is absolutely murdered.
JARED QUAY: And let's not feel bad for the soon-to-be unemployed 41-year-old, because he's made more than $300 million over the course of his MLB career. And if this is it for Pujols, it was an epic career. If not, St. Louis, pick up your iPhone, Droid, or Sidekick, and give this man a call. Bring him back on one of those "we're paying you for what you did, not what you're going to do" contracts. He deserves it.
And while Pujols will go down as an all-time great, [INAUDIBLE] Jake Paul will no doubt be an all-time clown.
[HONKING HORN]
JAKE PAUL: [INAUDIBLE].
FLOYD MAYWEATHER, JR.: Absolutely [INAUDIBLE].
JAKE PAUL: Let me call Al Haymon. Let's make it happen.
FLOYD MAYWEATHER, JR.: I'm my own boss.
JAKE PAUL: Got your hat.
- Oh, oh.
JAKE PAUL: Got your hat.
- No, no.
JAKE PAUL: Got your hat.
- Let him go.
JAKE PAUL: Got your hat. OK, got your hat.
JARED QUAY: In the case of the Paul brothers, this hat line makes too much sense. Jake Paul causes chaos at a press event for Floyd Mayweather [? verse ?] Logan Paul by stealing Mayweather's hat. It's Jake Paul being Jake Paul. He wanted Money Mayweather to lose his [BLEEP], and that's exactly what happened.
Two things here-- he clearly stole Mayweather's hat, so props for that. Secondly, it would have been so much better if Mayweather would have somehow knocked out Jake Paul and just kind of did a dance above him. That's what we want to see.
Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul are scheduled to fight on a special exhibition boxing match June 6. And, personally, I'd rather watch "Fast and the Furious 26" where Vin Diesel and his crew escape from a nursing home with tricked-out wheelchairs that can fly. It's going to happen.
Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane said that he would cut an unvaccinated player if it meant his team returning to some sense of normalcy. Finally, somebody who knows what they're doing! And Brandon Beane for president.
But seriously, Josh Allen, if you're still unsure about getting vaccinated, you might get cut. Besides, none of these guys are afraid of needles at this point. I mean, between IVs and steroids--
- Let's do this. You'll be good to go.
JARED QUAY: Speaking of unconventional, Kevin Kelly, the football coach who rarely punts and almost always onside kicks, is taking his talents from the high school ranks to Presbyterian College in South Carolina. OK, so this guy takes the playing your best friend in "Madden" approach way too real. But it's kind of genius.
At the prep level, Kelly won nine state titles. Clearly, this unorthodox coaching style works. Now, we'll see if that's the case in the extremely popular Pioneer Football League.
I mean, it might work there, 'cause Division I-AA, you never know, [? gets ?] some crazy stuff. I've seen someone punt on second down. You never know. If your defense is strong, you got Bobby Boucher in linebacker. Who knew [INAUDIBLE]--
