"My penis made an eagle sound." Would Team USA have declined Dan Le Batard's offer to pay for their drinks at E11even? When did Dave become a commie? Did E11even actually cash the check that Pat McAfee wrote them? When did Yankee Doodle Dandy become the Soviet National Anthem?

When a two-time Stanley Cup champion says Olympic gold meant more, fans lose their minds. After Team USA hero Matthew Tkachuk revealed the gold medal experience topped his NHL titles, the crew dives into a question that hits especially hard in New York: what would happen if a superstar like Aaron Judge said the same thing about Olympic gold vs a World Series? Is representing your country the ultimate achievement… or does nothing top a championship for the team you bleed for? From Olympic glory to Stanley Cup obsession, World Series hypotheticals, and the emotional gap between athletes and diehard fans, this conversation exposes a brutal truth: players and fans do not value success the same way. Plus, the guys debate whether Yankees fans could ever forgive Judge for prioritizing Team USA, why Mets fans may soon face the same dilemma with Juan Soto and the WBC, and whether sports loyalty is more about identity than trophies. If you've ever lived and died with a playoff run, this one will hit home.

Joe Rose breaks down the contrasting personalities of Florida Panthers stars, highlighting Aleksander Barkov as one of the most private superstars in town, while Matthew Tkachuk has become one of the biggest names in hockey with two Stanley Cups and a gold medal with Team USA, always loud and in the national spotlight. He also notes that the Panthers could be a scary playoff team if they can sneak in. Joe promotes the Dolphins Cancer Challenge charity event happening this weekend before shifting to the Dolphins roster, discussing the financial strain of Tua Tagovailoa's contract and sharing his candid opinions on the quarterback situation.

In Hour 4, Joe explains why he's against challenging balls and strikes in baseball and why he dislikes the new onside kick rule in the NFL, while also reacting to radical rule changes introduced by the UFL. He and Hollywood agree that a little human error is part of what makes officiating in sports compelling. The conversation then shifts to the Florida Panthers, where Joe contrasts Aleksander Barkov's ultra-private nature with Matthew Tkachuk's outspoken, high-profile personality, noting that the Panthers could be a tough team to face in the playoffs. Joe also promotes the Dolphins Cancer Challenge charity event happening this weekend before turning to the Miami Dolphins, discussing the financial burden of Tua Tagovailoa's contract and sharing his unfiltered thoughts on the quarterback situation.

The U.S. wins their first gold medal in Men's hockey since the Miracle On Ice in 1980Exactly 46 years after the "Miracle on Ice" Lake Placid Games, the U.S. men's hockey team brought home another Olympic gold medal.Team USA defeated Canada 2-1 in overtime on Sunday to secure the third gold medal in American history at the Olympics.“I hope this will inspire kids to put this jersey on someday, as it's the best feeling in the world," Dylan Larkin said after the win. "What we just did, nothing will ever match this.”Matt Boldy got on the board for Team USA just six minutes into the game to give the United States an early lead.Canadian defenseman Cale Makar scored the equalizer with 1:44 left in second period to tie the game at one apiece going into the second intermission.But it was Connor Hellebuyck, who played out of his mind the entire game, who would prove to the deciding factor in the final. The Winnipeg Jets goalie put on a highlight-reel performance that will go down in hockey history. "It was an all-time performance from a superstar at his position," Matthew Tkachuk said. "It's going to go down as one of the best performances of all time. It has to. All the great United States goaltending performances you want to talk about, that's right up there. If we don't have him, we don't win.” Hellebuyck saved 41 shots in the game and made it virtually impossible for Canada to break through to the back of the net."It's a dream come true," Hellebuyck said after the game. "I love this group, we've had so much fun over here, we've grinded, we've battled, this is some of the best and most fun hockey I've ever played."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Does Matthew Tkachuk have a better resume than Dan Marino after winning two Stanley Cup Titles? We debated during Talk About It Tuesday.

In hour three, prop bets for tonight's Heat vs Bucks game. Are the Spurs worth betting to wiin the NBA title? Crowder still has no love for Mel Kiper Jr. Plus, does Matthew Tkachuk have a better resume than Dan Marino? We debated during Talk About It Tuesday.

In this focused segment from Episode #1161 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards celebrates American excellence on Testosterone Tuesday with Team USA Hockey's gold medal triumph over Canada—their first since the iconic 1980 Miracle on Ice. Clay spotlights the badassery of players like Jack Hughes, who posed with the gold medal in his mouth despite broken teeth (not from biting it, but hey, it's a great story for the grandkids). He shares the epic locker room vibes, including Kash Patel chugging beers, a congratulatory phone call from President Trump praising the team's performance, and an invite to the State of the Union address—complete with promises of medals and fun at the White House (women's team included, boss's orders).   Clay plays clips of players like Matthew Tkachuk calling Trump the "ultimate president" for his support of all U.S. athletes, and Jack Hughes reflecting on leaving USA Hockey in a better place for future stars, proving he's no Democrat with his "leave it better than you found it" mindset. Though Clay admits he didn't watch a second of the Olympics—labeling them the "transgender LGBTQ rainbow supremacy Olympics"—he still roots for America, arguing nothing upsets the rainbow supremacists more than MAGA support. He revels in the liberal meltdowns, from media outrage over the Trump call and locker room patriotism to headlines like the Huffington Post questioning if the American flag turns people off.   The women's team also snagged gold (though they're skipping the White House), and Clay notes the sweeter taste of victory amid the backlash. Tune in for Clay's pumped-up, unfiltered take on patriotic wins, liberal hypocrisy, and why this gold slays the "North Mexico" dragon!

The Panthers drop their fourth straight as Matthew Tkachuk bluntly admits the team is “in trouble,” a moment Joe says is as real as it gets. Giannis trade rumors continue to swirl with the Heat always in the mix, prompting praise for Pelle Larsson even as he could be part of a potential deal. The conversation shifts to NFL topics including officiating, the inevitable arrival of an 18th game, and the league's growing international footprint with nine games overseas next season and the opener set for France.

Vegas Golden Knights GM Kelly McCrimmon in conversation! A busy few days of trades saw Vegas land Rasmus Andersson from Calgary after extension issues steered the deal away from Boston, continuing the Golden Knights tradition of bold swings. Vancouver moved Kiefer Sherwood to San Jose for draft picks and depth, giving the Canucks five picks in the top 50, while the Sharks add energy and puck retrieval. In New York, Chris Drury told Rangers fans the plan is to re-tool, not rebuild, but trade protection for Panarin, Zibanejad, and Miller complicates matters, and Panarin appears unlikely to return on a new deal. Matthew Tkachuk had a wild first game back, highlighted by a heavy hit and a rare Bobrovsky versus Nedeljkovic goalie fight, while Florida faces a playoff squeeze without Barkov for the rest of the regular season. Then, Kelly McCrimmon joins the show to discuss the return the Flames got for Andersson, the impact that injuries have had on their season, the importance of Mark Stone, and the coming circus around Mitch Marner’s return to Toronto.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rasmus Andersson has finally been traded! It looked like Boston for a minute there, but Vegas swooped in and got it done. Did they bolster their blueline enough to win a cup? Matthew Tkachuk is back! Can the Panthers save their season or is it too late? There are a few teams outside looking in that need to right the ship and make playoffs or it's going to spell trouble.

Joe dives into NFL upheaval as the Browns fire head coach Kevin Stefanski and the Dolphins make a puzzling move by bringing in Troy Aikman to assist with their GM search, despite Dan Marino's longstanding presence in the organization. After another brutal cold-weather loss in New England, Joe questions whether Tua's physical regression and shaken confidence are holding Miami back and stresses the need for a truly weather-proof quarterback. The discussion turns to offseason chaos in Miami, including the real possibility of Lamar Jackson becoming a target. The hour wraps with a check-in on the Florida Panthers at the midway point of the season, with optimism around the returns of Matthew Tkachuk and Aleksander Barkov.

Hour 1 opens with a rapid-fire sports check, including the Heat getting a win as Nikola Jokic goes down with an injury, the Panthers heating up, and whether Matthew Tkachuk could be on his way back, plus some lighter banter along the way. The focus then shifts to football, as Joe and Dave assess how far the Dolphins have fallen behind AFC rivals and why Miami still hasn't produced true stars through the draft. They break down why blockbuster QB trades involving Lamar Jackson or Joe Burrow are unrealistic, leading into a blunt evaluation of the Dolphins' post-Tua future and Quinn Ewers' solid showing, with Joe urging fans to “wake up” about Tua's limitations. The hour wraps with a look ahead to Miami vs. Ohio State, framing it as a pressure-free, high-stakes audition for Hurricanes players against a talent-loaded Buckeyes roster, and a reflection on how increased investment has helped turn the program around.
