Video Transcript
- The fade away. And there it is, history! Russell Westbrook has just surpassed Oscar Robertson.
JARED QUAY: Wizards guard Russell Westbrook made history on Monday, officially moving past Oscar Robertson for the most triple-doubles of all time with 182.
- Of all time!
JARED QUAY: Russ has been on an absolute tear, notching a triple-double in 22 of his last 26 games. Think about this. Westbrook has recorded a triple-double in nearly 20% of the games he's ever played in. And he almost got twice as many career triple-doubles as LeBron James, who has played almost four seasons more than Brody.
Love him, hate him, call him overrated, call him underrated. What he's doing right now is truly remarkable. All props to you, Brody.
- A record that was titled "untouchable" for 47 years.
JARED QUAY: It's good to know that at least one person still has faith left in Tim Tebow.
[CHIMES]
His former college coach, Urban Meyer, and the Jacksonville Jaguars are reportedly signing the former quarterback, baseball player, and now tight end to a one-year deal. Tebow hasn't stepped on a football field since 2012. And when he did, he looked really underwhelming to say the least.
- Flank to the right. Now Tebow in motion. Sanchez looking that way, and it looked it hit him on the shoulder pad.
JARED QUAY: Apparently, he must have learned a lot about playing the tight end position while hitting 163 in his last year of minor League Baseball back in 2019. I know it seems like everyone is crushing the guy. But imagine being one of those guys in the Jacksonville tight end room, and then the teacher's pet walks in all clean cut, touched by God, Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow. If I get cut because of Tim Tebow's publicity stunt, I'd be pissed.
Hey, Tebow? Meet me at the flagpole when the bell rings and bring your playbook. And while the Jags have one of the coolest stadium elements with their upper deck pool, I think Las Vegas might have just topped them.
The Raiders are unveiling a full-on nightclub that will span the entire North end zone of Allegiant Stadium. The Wynn Field Club will be 11,000 square feet, have two DJ booths, 42 TVs, and the sticker shock of having just paid $3,000 for a liter of Gray Goose. Who prices these things?
Yo, this place is going to turn an unassuming Lambeau leap into a five-minute crowd surf. I'm pretty sure you can get flack for that too. I can see this setting of a wave with teams trying to one up each other at their respective stadiums too.
Just wait until the Bills unleash their 75-foot ice luge. Hey, did the Bucs play already this year? Because I can see Gronk getting pretty distracted by the nightclub. Hey, Gronk! You can't be drinking on the field!
