JIMMY & TYLER GET SHADE THROWN AT THEM?! | Paddle Testing Issues & Someone Yelled at Julie Johnson?

we need to set up some time of All Star Pro DUBS Partner Voting OPTION for a PPA Double Elimination / Back Draw Tourney - 24 Team Bracket - Fans/ Coaches/ Players get to vote for DUBS Team - ie. Sock / Johns or McGuffin / Loong or Scarpa / Newman or just crazy sht. Matt Wright / Julian Arnold

I just wanna know why Jimmy’s moral compass was off and didn’t call the worst line call of the year against the Florida smash out when he was standing there unless he was busy eating a MOD ball

The refs only job is to get the calls right and that’s literally not happening

Yeah, but once you guys hooked them so bad , that gets in the peoples heads and changes their demeanor and play style

I can only imagine how you would go on and on and on talking about it on this podcast if it was the other way around, listening to you like listening to a guy a local bar Who has answers to everything?

The Team Captains need to chill the game down if its get off the rails -- just do a coin flip or possession arrow like hoops..next sketchy call is other teams. Shts not hard folks 🚁💦

the person who made the bad call knew exactly what she was doing. and it worked.

French looks as athletic as an 80-year-old shuffleboard player

let's not pretend michelle does not have a history with horrible line calls. u said it jimmy, just the way yates was walking back ot was obvious the ball was in, she should have overturned it immediately.

wait, what? ATX Austin Pickleball MLP folds because they can't find a buyer?
I thought the teams were worth $10,000,000??
Jimmy, why couldn't the team be sold?

That call by Esquivel was ludricous!... Doesn't etiquette say if you're not sure about a call the ball is IN? It was the worst call I've ever seen. The SMASH were upset for good reason.. It would have been much better if the Black Bears had owned how bad that call was instead of making excuses like Jimmy does here.

Come on everybody have you never heard the PPA slogan "If you aren't cheating you aren't trying." This is part of playing for the UPAA. duh?!

Maybe the BB owner should send the Smash team a payed reservation for a Steak dinner for the next event location with a write apology.

JImmy is a PB hall of famer homie knows all the down low stuff.PB needs fans like JImmy reporting the stories..Great work

Lost respect for Jimmy here. Long story short, blarant bad call, and your team didn't deserve the point. Instead of taking the high road and just acknowledging that it was wrong, or a heat of moment type thing etc, goes on to talk shit about everyone who is rightfullt upset about it. Big fan of Tyler, but have to unsub here.

MLP is horrible to watch

If you have ankle issues or are concerned about rolling your ankle get the Active Ankle T2 (can get them on amazon <$40). I have no affiliation with the company but I played high level volleyball for 15 years and wore them religiously. I've literally landed on other players feet and my ankles never turned or sprained once while wearing them. They have hinges in the sides that allow full mobility forward/back but protect the ankle from rolling. If you buy them follow the directions and put the bottom plate under your insole and the side of the brace with the eyehole to the outside and run your shoelace through it. It will lock your shoe/brace together.

She didn't see where the ball landed but made the call anyway.
The referee confirming the out call is just egregious.
Saying that only 1 person on the bench was looking @ the ball and they say it was out - extremly hard to believe.
MLP having no plan for challenges indoors - again shows how inept or just cheap they're running things.
Even the announcer saw it in & was moving on. No one in that area had the stream going?
Just basically saying if we did cheat just get over yourself? I get it. Circle the wagons to protect the tribe.
Hopefully lessons learned all around and things are better in the future.

Let's be honest, WNBA team would get smoked by a good boys HS basketball team..

Down 0-2, I see both ways. It also depends if you are reacting. If you get to react, you need your weaker team to play their weaker team.

She wasn’t even looking to make the call. Blatant cheating. Funny how jimmy talks about people “hooking” all the time and then when his own team does it there’s magically a million excuses.

Ya'll remember when Jimmy spent half an episode bashing the opposing coach of a team that played against his 10 year olds in a flag football league championship game? Remember how Jimmy talked about how he would never stoop to that level of immortality and dishonesty to win a game? Remember? Just checking....
Jimmy had a chance to put his money where his mouth is and failed miserably.

Danny plays NPL senior pro team.

I recall in one of the 1st MLP’s held Michelle E’s entire team agreed to allow a challenge but she would not allow it. I recall Greg Dow being very upset. I knew that day what kind of character Michelle had and that she is not trustworthy.

RafaH called it in. Should've stood with that call even if the whole team said it was out. It happens way too often; players shouldn't make line calls going forward.

What Jimmy said was spot on though nobody cares to admit it. What the players called on the court doesn't matter once the line judge ruled it out. Bad calls happen every match whether hooks or not. You got to be better than that. The Smash let it affect them and weren't.

The line judge had the call. And called it wrong. But aren’t bad calls part of the game?

Michelle could stop acting like a b1tch that acts like she is a top 5 player.

You obviously didn't let it go. Do better. I hated this segment.

So many of those calls were easy with the 200 or whatever frame rate they had outside! Wow…it is SO CLEAR if it is in or out with that tech. Why can’t PPA/MLP just always have those guys do all the video replays?

Everyone makes a bad call. At the end of the day. Neither team made the finals nor did it effect the outcome

Jimmy, your buddy goes into the bathroom to take selfies? What, dick pics? Also, if someone is going to switch their paddle sticker they only need to bring a paddle which wouldn't pass and not submit it for testing.

I've know Michelle and played against her when she was a 4.5 at old Tustin. She has always had issues with line calls. I am just mystified she is playing at this level and not very good at commentating to boot. To her defense she has always been a pretty nice person off the court.

Jimmy is a walking logical fallacy. Terrible arguments🤣

love jimmy and tyler you are playing incredible.

I was under the impression if you do not see a ball out, it is in! Could not look at myself in the mirror thinking I might have cheated. Not worth my integrity.

I’m dying while Jimmy is telling a story and Tyler casually hits the andiamo button with no facial expression change from either of you! 😂

Ugh Betsy DeVos 🤮 who cares

If this happened against jimmy he would be going crazy. So anything he said on this podcast is garbage.

The 2024 MLP rules state that except as shown in the MLP rules document, USA Pickleball rules apply. USA Pickleball rules allow a player / team to make a line call to their own disadvantage. I don't see anywhere that either set of rules says "if a referee makes the call, then a player may not make a line call to their own disadvantage." When someone makes a mistake, the best thing a good sportsman or sportswoman can do is say, "I made a mistake. I apologize for it." No ifs, ands or buts! Momentum during a game is a real thing. Instead of Jimmy taking responsibility, he mocks Yates for being short. Totally unprofessional.

All these line call issues would not be an ISSUE if the organization would invest in the right equipment. As it stands, you see all the problems this causes from the players to the officiating to player pettiness and immaturity. In the end, it’s a bad look that the sport doesn’t need.

It was a desperate player on a desperate team who would do anything to win. Sad for the game and for that team. Rafa should have called it in.

Jimmy is 100% right about keeping the paddles until the end of the tournament. The idea that you would send out a failed paddle back into the wild seems so silly and yes, of course people will always find a way to cheat, but why would we make it easier?

Enjoy your show. My wife and I have listened to every episode. Disappointed in the KOTC code for Pickleball Central. I was buying a new paddle for my wife’s birthday and it didn’t work. We went to our first indoor pickleball facility in Idaho(on a trip) not a Picklr but it was new and nice inside. 18 courts but I have to say it was so noisy that we couldn’t even hear our score calls. No chirping or socializing during the game. Are all indoor places like this? Thanks

Tough segment defending that call. Travis and Yates are right here... hard to believe the segment was anything other than "this was a bad call and it's totally reasonable to think M.E. was cheating due to her history of terrible calls". Instead it was 20 minutes of JM talking in circles. Do better.

No one “saw the ball”, those 3 or otherwise because the ball was a foot from the lines. People/players can see a ball out if it is on the line or even close but NO ONE - saw - that ball out

CJ needs to get PB cancelled for his behavior(if that’s true), this might be the best thing for Ben

Regardless of the line judge’s decision, a team can override a call to their disadvantage.

Love watching Tyler play and I typically enjoy the pod but this one hurt to listen to. I will agree that Smash could’ve conducted themselves better about it but i can understand their frustration.

Saying “im just being sincere” doesnt make what you said about another person any less condescending. How many times has Tyler had to cut Jimmy off because he keeps ranting about personal drama with certain players? It happens in a few podcasts, not just this one.

I could’ve easily just have said “Jimmy comes off as a man child and drama king, just being sincere”.

There’s only a few quality PB podcasts I actually enjoy, this is one of them. I like the work you guys are putting into this, hopefully things will get better.
