0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:32.479
<v Speaker 1>the former Yankee Great, will join us coming up. You

0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:36.960
<v Speaker 1>got Braves Dodgers this afternoon, raise Astros, and then tonight

0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:40.839
<v Speaker 1>it's Bills and the Titans. Are you ready for some football?

0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday night football? And I apologize I'm not singing. We're

0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:47.880
<v Speaker 1>not used to Tuesday night action in the NFL. Haven't

0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:50.159
<v Speaker 1>had one since twenty ten when the Eagles and Vikings

0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>were delayed because of weather. Bills and Titans square off

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:57.560
<v Speaker 1>tonight at least hopefully, and with everything going on in Tennessee,

0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:00.760
<v Speaker 1>we have to see the kickoff before were fully buying

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 1>into this game will happen? I was noticing that the

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:08.039
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs and the Patriots their tests on Monday came back

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:11.840
<v Speaker 1>all negatives, so they can proceed with their week. I

0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.399
<v Speaker 1>think that there's a possibility mccloven, you can help me

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 1>with this, that there's a report out there that they

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>may try to put teams in bubbles once they get

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 1>to the postseason. Yeah, the Athletic reported this morning that

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.320
<v Speaker 1>they're hearing from sources that they're considering a bubble in

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 1>places like LA and Dallas for the playoffs leading into

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.399
<v Speaker 1>the super Bowl in Tampa Bay. All right, but that

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 1>seems like a wise decision to make because there's no

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 1>flexibility there when you get to the postseason and trying

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 1>to postpone a week or if you have a couple

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 1>of teams that can't play, and then what do you

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 1>do for the following week? There For some fans, Tuesday night,

0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 1>maybe a silver lining more primetime football could be a

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of fun. But there is the concern that the

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 1>NFL is playing with fire with their schedule and at

0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>some point they're going to run out of room to maneuver,

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 1>and that's what you're trying to Maybe you're gonna have

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>that eighteenth week maybe that's your buffer zone that you're

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 1>going to try to be able to get in these games.

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 1>But you can't play doubleheaders. You know, baseball had that

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.840
<v Speaker 1>with seven inning doubleheaders. They were able to make up

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 1>some games here. The NFL doesn't have that much wiggle

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 1>room here. But who knows, maybe we can add Tuesday

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:19.680
<v Speaker 1>nights to the list of times that we put everything

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.640
<v Speaker 1>to the side and enjoy some NFL football. They can't

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:26.200
<v Speaker 1>have Saturday night football until after the college football season,

0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 1>and there was talk about Friday night football. They're really

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 1>just they're running out of real estate during the week

0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 1>to be able to get these games in. And by

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:39.079
<v Speaker 1>all accounts, you know, everything is fine now, but that's

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 1>just this week. All it's going to take is one

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 1>more outbreak and then you know, if it's another Titans game,

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>that's going to have to be rescheduled, and then the

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:49.960
<v Speaker 1>NFL at some point is going to say, you know what,

0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 1>the Titans are the problem here. We're gonna have to

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.760
<v Speaker 1>penalize them, and maybe there would be a forfeit, But

0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:57.920
<v Speaker 1>the problem with that with the forfeit is the other

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>team doesn't get paid. Yes, Polly, it seems like all

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.239
<v Speaker 1>bets are off with scheduling though with college football, a

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Big Ten announced they're coming back with their schedule. They're

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna have four or five Friday night primetime nationally televised games.

0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna play a lot of games on Friday night.

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:15.280
<v Speaker 1>And I understand it. I mean, you're gonna have to

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 1>get these games in at some point, and you have

0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 1>to have that leeway of when you test and then

0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.120
<v Speaker 1>getting the results back and then being able to resume.

0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how the Titans are able to get

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 1>ready for this game with Buffalo. They couldn't even go

0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 1>to their facility for two weeks. I mean Buffalo could

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 1>at least practice but and play a game, but you know,

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.480
<v Speaker 1>you can't go to your facility, and now you're ready

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 1>to go on a home game tonight. Brave's Rally beat

0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers last night with the drama coming in the

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 1>ninth inning, and My Rays beat the Astros four two,

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.600
<v Speaker 1>show pull question mcklevin. Who takes it hard is after

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 1>a big tough loss, the player, the coach, or the owner.

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.440
<v Speaker 1>People are not buying your theory. Player is running away

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 1>with it, then coach, then only a few percents say

0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 1>the owner. Well, I disagree. I think the quarterback takes

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>it hardest because he was on the field and he

0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 1>was the one that could control the outcome more than

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:19.720
<v Speaker 1>anybody else. The coach, probably because the coaching in Atlanta

0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:23.559
<v Speaker 1>during that Super Bowl loss was poor in the final drive.

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:28.720
<v Speaker 1>But the owner is watching this knowing I may never

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 1>get this chance again. I don't get to go on

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 1>the field and play. I can't do anything about this.

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.840
<v Speaker 1>You're helpless. And I wondered about that with Arthur Blake.

0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 1>He gets to own a team, he's a billionaire, he's

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:43.359
<v Speaker 1>got all the money that he ever will need. But

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 1>he had to watch that unfold. And that's more painful,

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:51.200
<v Speaker 1>I think than Matt Ryan actually being the quarterback, or

0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Dan Quinn or Kyle Shanahan coaching in my opinion. Yeah,

0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 1>but Arthur Blake hasn't been working his entire life to

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 1>get to the point to play in the Super or

0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:02.719
<v Speaker 1>to own a team to get into the Super Bowl.

0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, every other guy on that field has been

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:06.719
<v Speaker 1>ever since they were a kid. This is like the

0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 1>moment they've been dreaming of but he might be at

0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 1>some point for the last twenty years saying I want

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>to get enough money to buy an NFL team so

0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 1>he could have a dream that's longer than Matt Ryan's

0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.680
<v Speaker 1>or Dan Quinn's. But I understand what you're saying. I

0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 1>just think it's the owner. Those owners love to come

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 1>down on the field. They love to be up on

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:29.040
<v Speaker 1>that podium, They love to grab the microphone, they love

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 1>to show you their ring. It gets a big deal

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:37.600
<v Speaker 1>to them. And to watch that unfold right in front

0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.280
<v Speaker 1>of you and then he comes down on the field

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.800
<v Speaker 1>and then you're helpless. It's not like you can go

0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:48.960
<v Speaker 1>and second thought, I'm gonna go back upstairs because I

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know what Arthur Blank did on the sidelines there.

0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:54.000
<v Speaker 1>But I wondered about that last night. How painful that

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.640
<v Speaker 1>must be to watch your team. You have to go

0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.599
<v Speaker 1>to all those games, Like the Giants owners have to

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 1>go and sit there and watch a horrible product, The

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:08.279
<v Speaker 1>Jets owners have to go. The Ford family has to

0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:11.800
<v Speaker 1>go and watch the Lions play like it's it's as

0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 1>great as it is. It's got to be so painful

0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 1>when you have to sit through that, and everybody's got

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:20.560
<v Speaker 1>an answer for you. Everybody got a suggestion for you. Yeah. Time,

0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:22.840
<v Speaker 1>But unless you're so competitive and you have such an

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:24.680
<v Speaker 1>ego that you have to be able to flaunt a

0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.280
<v Speaker 1>ring or multiple rings as an owner, you still get

0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 1>to go back to a pretty nice lifestyle. But you

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 1>could blow your nose in. You can't buy a super

0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Bowl ring. He can buy everything. Can't buy a ring.

0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.599
<v Speaker 1>I can buy a boat. Dan Snyder's got a yacht

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:45.360
<v Speaker 1>that he's been floating around in France. If I said

0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 1>you got a trade in the yacht for a ring,

0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 1>he'll buy another yacht. Yes, we've all had a weak

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.680
<v Speaker 1>ruined by a fantasy football or basketball loss. I mean

0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.840
<v Speaker 1>that's fantasy multi buy that buy a thousand for as

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 1>owners are stuck with the team, the players and the

0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:04.720
<v Speaker 1>coaches are all going to play somewhere else or most

0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.520
<v Speaker 1>of them. Yeah, well they can sell it. Dan Snyder

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 1>could sell No nobody, you can't. No one sells NFL teams.

0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Well you know you, but you could and you could

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:15.520
<v Speaker 1>make a lot of money. It's it's it's I go

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:19.400
<v Speaker 1>back to this with billionaires. There's so many billionaires, but

0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 1>how many are relevant billionaires? Like, once you buy a team.

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:27.080
<v Speaker 1>You can have two billion dollars and you're more relevant

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:30.240
<v Speaker 1>than somebody who has twenty billion dollars. Because there's only

0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:34.680
<v Speaker 1>so many of these teams that are available. There's a

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:38.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of billionaires who don't own teams. How many of

0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:41.720
<v Speaker 1>those billionaires do you know who don't own teams? Aside

0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>from Bill Gates, you know, Warren Buffer, there's there's a

0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:48.680
<v Speaker 1>few and Jeff Bezos. Yeah. See, how many of those

0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.560
<v Speaker 1>billionaires only owned one team? They almost all have a

0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:53.720
<v Speaker 1>football team and then the MLS team and then the

0:07:54.000 --> 0:08:00.560
<v Speaker 1>whatever team. I like being stuck with the team. Yeah, yeah,

0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:04.640
<v Speaker 1>I've only got one team, one team. All right, some

0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:08.200
<v Speaker 1>phone calls here? Oh, by the way, I saw this

0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 1>um the Colts Frank Croich said that he is sticking

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:16.640
<v Speaker 1>with Philip Rivers. Philip Rivers signed that one year deal

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 1>and they're not going to go to Jacoby Brissette. Philip

0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Rivers has thrown more interceptions five than touchdowns four is

0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight turnovers since the start of twenty nineteen, third

0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:31.440
<v Speaker 1>most in the NFL behind Jamis Winston and Daniel Jones.

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:38.000
<v Speaker 1>That's not a good category to be in. Statu stat

0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:42.160
<v Speaker 1>of the Day, stat of the day, dude comes that

0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:48.440
<v Speaker 1>what stat of the day. There was a sneaky remark

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:52.480
<v Speaker 1>by Nick Saban after a little too close for Comfort

0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:56.880
<v Speaker 1>win over Old Miss sixty three forty eight over the weekend,

0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.920
<v Speaker 1>and Nick Saban said, it seemed like everything we did

0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 1>they had an answer for. I'm not sure if they

0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:07.199
<v Speaker 1>had our signals or what, but that's not anything unusual.

0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 1>It seemed like anytime we called something, they had the

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 1>best thing they could call against it. They had a

0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:21.040
<v Speaker 1>really good plan. Well, Lane Kiffin debunked Nick Saban's theory.

0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:24.920
<v Speaker 1>If you understand tempo signals wouldn't help us. Kiffin said,

0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:27.760
<v Speaker 1>we call a play basically before the last play is

0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:31.320
<v Speaker 1>even over, before they mark the ball, we call our play.

0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Then we scrambled to get their play called, and then

0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:36.840
<v Speaker 1>they're just trying to get their guys lined up. It

0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:38.960
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't do us any good. By the time somebody would

0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:44.080
<v Speaker 1>relay that to us, we're already snapping the ball. Kiffin

0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:47.679
<v Speaker 1>says he's never known Saban's defensive signals, even when he

0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:51.720
<v Speaker 1>was Saban's offensive coordinator from twenty fourteen to twenty sixteen.

0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:58.920
<v Speaker 1>The linebacker for Alabama, Dylan Moses, was asked if old

0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:04.079
<v Speaker 1>Miss had stolen the Crimson Tide signals, and Moses replied, definitely,

0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:13.640
<v Speaker 1>I definitely do. If they did, it's on Alabama, change

0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 1>your signals. It's not illegal to do it. As Kiffin said,

0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:20.520
<v Speaker 1>people do it. People do it all the time. It's

0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.719
<v Speaker 1>usually people that play slower. People steal our signals all

0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:28.440
<v Speaker 1>the time. Yeah, Paully, big mistake here by laying Kiffin.

0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:30.480
<v Speaker 1>He should should have been when asked, do you guys

0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:32.439
<v Speaker 1>know the signals? To were you still taking signals? He

0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:35.400
<v Speaker 1>should have said yep, and then just throwing a big

0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.920
<v Speaker 1>wrench into Alabama's plans for the upcoming week. Get in

0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:41.520
<v Speaker 1>their head Chris and Maryland. Hey Chris, what's on your

0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:45.200
<v Speaker 1>mind today? Hey? Damn, what's going on? Hey? But hey,

0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.839
<v Speaker 1>another soul crushing night watching the Chargers. I didn't have

0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.960
<v Speaker 1>a question. I know I have a question on that note.

0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:54.720
<v Speaker 1>So it seems to me like this has been going

0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:59.199
<v Speaker 1>on for ten plus years and it's now like institutional

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:01.559
<v Speaker 1>Can you just talk a little bit from your experience

0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:05.040
<v Speaker 1>about a team, it doesn't matter whether it's basketball, baseball, whatever,

0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.120
<v Speaker 1>that like had to go through some sort of like

0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:10.720
<v Speaker 1>institutional change to become a winning franchise and what they

0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:14.920
<v Speaker 1>were required to do to make that happen. Well, I

0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 1>think the Patriots did that. Remember when Victor Kaiam was

0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:21.640
<v Speaker 1>the owner, you know, you know that was in the

0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 1>late nineties maybe, and you needed a change at the

0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:31.720
<v Speaker 1>top and you got it. Um. I'm sure they're numerous ones. Yeah,

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 1>mclovin Chicago Cubs, Yeah, you changed ownership and then you

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:41.240
<v Speaker 1>you brought in theo Epstein to um. You know, the

0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Cubs didn't try to compete for a long time. Financially.

0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.240
<v Speaker 1>It just didn't feel like like they were comfortable. They

0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:52.199
<v Speaker 1>sold out. They had a you know WGN scene all

0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:55.200
<v Speaker 1>over the country, and you had Harry Carey, you had

0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.520
<v Speaker 1>a couple of stars, you know, you'd have Mark Grace,

0:11:57.600 --> 0:11:59.960
<v Speaker 1>you'd have Rhino, you'd have Sammy Sosa and Rick sud

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Cliff like he had just enough. He had the great

0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:04.400
<v Speaker 1>atmosphere there. And then all of a sudden, I think

0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:08.680
<v Speaker 1>the Cubs go, shouldn't we try to win a World

0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:12.679
<v Speaker 1>Series here? How do we do that? Uh? I don't know.

0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 1>When the White Sox won, I thought that's when the

0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.600
<v Speaker 1>bell would go off and go, hey, the White Sox

0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:24.080
<v Speaker 1>one one they did. I didn't notice that, trying to

0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:28.280
<v Speaker 1>think who else? Yeah, mcclub the team they paid last night.

0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.640
<v Speaker 1>The Saints were laughing for a long time. Tom Benson

0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.200
<v Speaker 1>and then and the remember the Bucks when I was

0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:38.320
<v Speaker 1>a kid the Buck, Yeah that was Hugh Culverhouse was

0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the owner. But he brought in John McKay, legendary Hall

0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:47.960
<v Speaker 1>of Fame coach. And John McKay had great quotes. He

0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:51.520
<v Speaker 1>was asked after a loss, I'm paraphrasing, and he was asked,

0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:54.880
<v Speaker 1>what do you think of your team's execution? And he says,

0:12:54.880 --> 0:13:03.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm all for it. I love that. Yeah, I'm all

0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:08.240
<v Speaker 1>for it. Yeah. Eric in Virginia, Hey Eric, what's on

0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:12.280
<v Speaker 1>your mind today? Hey? Two things? Dan. One, with that

0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Alex Smith interview, that was great. I'm wondering what is

0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:18.480
<v Speaker 1>the greater miracle him coming back or the Redskins actually

0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:20.440
<v Speaker 1>being competitive at some point? What would be the greater

0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:26.640
<v Speaker 1>miracle there? Probably the Redskins being competitive. But on the

0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.480
<v Speaker 1>basketball front, with Lebron James, I'm wondering if he's not

0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:32.800
<v Speaker 1>being seen as great as Jordan because he hasn't changed

0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.920
<v Speaker 1>the game like Jordan did from a play standpoint from

0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:38.720
<v Speaker 1>where Jordan took the game and from a merchandise standpoint,

0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.960
<v Speaker 1>what are your thoughts? Yeah, I mean, you know that

0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Jordan had this ten part documentary and that was released

0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:50.200
<v Speaker 1>strategically because you know, here's Lebron with the Lakers. They're favorites,

0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:52.640
<v Speaker 1>co favorites to win a title. And it just felt like,

0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:56.120
<v Speaker 1>now Michael is ready to do this ten part documentary

0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:59.640
<v Speaker 1>and then we're gonna drop it this past year. And

0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, if there was any chance for Lebron to

0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.160
<v Speaker 1>have you come up for air and say, hey, I'm

0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:09.720
<v Speaker 1>right there with you, you know, Michael basically, you know,

0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:14.199
<v Speaker 1>suffocated that because you gave that whole new generation that

0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.280
<v Speaker 1>has bought into Lebron maybe being on equal footing. Is

0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Jordan now all of a sudden, they're watching this going,

0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.680
<v Speaker 1>wait a minute, I didn't know anything about this. I

0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.920
<v Speaker 1>knew he won six titles. I didn't know how he

0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:29.640
<v Speaker 1>won those titles and who he was in his personality,

0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 1>but it just you know, it doesn't matter. Lebron is

0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:36.600
<v Speaker 1>never going to be greater than Michael Jordan in people's minds,

0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:39.960
<v Speaker 1>just not going to happen. It doesn't matter if you're

0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.840
<v Speaker 1>over the age of forty, it's not going to happen now.

0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm open minded to it. But that's because my job

0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:49.280
<v Speaker 1>is to be open minded to it. You know, Lebron

0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 1>will have the greatest resume in NBA history in my opinion,

0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:55.440
<v Speaker 1>when it's all said and done now, it might not

0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:59.640
<v Speaker 1>be the best player. You can't argue with what he

0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:04.280
<v Speaker 1>has done longevity wise. And at this Michael was ready

0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:08.560
<v Speaker 1>to bow out of basketball. He was exhausted. And here's

0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Lebron at thirty five. He reinvented himself, lead the league

0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:16.200
<v Speaker 1>in assist and he's still the best player in the game.

0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:19.920
<v Speaker 1>That's why when people talk about all the Greek freak

0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:21.880
<v Speaker 1>and I said, Lebron is still the best player in

0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:26.480
<v Speaker 1>the game. You know, Luca this, or you know, throw

0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:29.600
<v Speaker 1>in whoever you want to. Lebron is still the best

0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:36.920
<v Speaker 1>player in the game at thirty five, three full seasons

0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:41.960
<v Speaker 1>to playoff basketball high end. It's like when Kawhi Leonard Hey,

0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:45.000
<v Speaker 1>he's averaging close to a triple double. Lebron has done

0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:50.400
<v Speaker 1>it for his career and he's the one, the last

0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:54.280
<v Speaker 1>one standing. I know that I shout the end of

0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:57.400
<v Speaker 1>the wilderness here, but as much as I love Jordan,

0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I was there to see all of those shots. I

0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.680
<v Speaker 1>covered all of those, and you know, I thought it

0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:07.680
<v Speaker 1>was magnificent. It was magical. But if you said, who

0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:09.800
<v Speaker 1>will have a better career when it's all said and done,

0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:13.160
<v Speaker 1>if we factor in everything from start to finish, it's

0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Lebron many more years than Jordan. You know, he's going

0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:22.280
<v Speaker 1>to be what top five and assist He'll be top

0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:27.840
<v Speaker 1>five and scoring. I mean, he's done everything that you

0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:30.120
<v Speaker 1>would want. Now. Is he had hiccups along the way, Yes,

0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.280
<v Speaker 1>But nobody ever brings up Michael bowing out in the

0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:39.880
<v Speaker 1>first round, right. They don't bring that up, or that

0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:43.760
<v Speaker 1>he passes up a shot that somebody else takes, or

0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:48.080
<v Speaker 1>he quit the sport for two years. But start to finish,

0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:51.840
<v Speaker 1>Lebron will have the greatest career. I'm not saying the

0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:56.840
<v Speaker 1>best player, but the greatest career in basketball history. And

0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:59.840
<v Speaker 1>he's not done yet. If he tacks on two more

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.920
<v Speaker 1>quality of years, I don't know how anybody touches him

0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.600
<v Speaker 1>with the numbers that he'll put up. And if he

0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:09.760
<v Speaker 1>only ends up with four titles and he loses six

0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:13.480
<v Speaker 1>times in the finals, okay, give me the guy who

0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:16.399
<v Speaker 1>got there ten times as opposed to the guy who

0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:20.520
<v Speaker 1>got there six times, because at least we got there.

0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Mike didn't. Mike got there six times, he won all six.

0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Lebron is gone. Like every year that Lebron is not

0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:31.640
<v Speaker 1>in the finals, were shocked. Yeah, Paul, And like you said,

0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Lebron's career is gonna be much much longer. Lebron has

0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:38.639
<v Speaker 1>played like fifteen hundred NBA games. Jordan's at like twelve

0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:42.760
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty including the playoffs and counting. Lebron's got

0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:45.520
<v Speaker 1>at least two more years left and deep playoff basketball,

0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:50.440
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna be at seventeen hundred career games played. Oh man,

0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:53.840
<v Speaker 1>PAULI is this is this the picture of Arthur Blank

0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:56.399
<v Speaker 1>which before and after? Oh my gosh. The first picture

0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:58.480
<v Speaker 1>he's on the sidelines chopping it up with the missus,

0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh whoever she is. Yeah, Oh, he's so proud. He's

0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:05.680

<v Speaker 1>CC Sabathia back on the program. Whence the last time

0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:58.520
<v Speaker 1>you were called Carston? Wow? Maybe like seventh to eighth grade.

0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:01.159
<v Speaker 1>I went by cars for a long time in school

0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:04.399
<v Speaker 1>and then my friends, you know, growing up, they just

0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:06.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of took over, and CC kind of took over

0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:08.679
<v Speaker 1>about like right in high school. But then you have

0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:12.520
<v Speaker 1>a son, so you have C C the third Yeah,

0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:15.280
<v Speaker 1>but he goes by Carston, So everybody called from Carston,

0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:19.120
<v Speaker 1>everybody called him Carton. Is he gonna changed though once

0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:21.960
<v Speaker 1>he gets to high school? Uh, he's in high school,

0:21:21.960 --> 0:21:24.439
<v Speaker 1>so he's a junior, and you know, I think just

0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:27.399
<v Speaker 1>living here in the northeast, um, you know, being in

0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Yankee Land, I guess it's just easier for him to

0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:33.400
<v Speaker 1>go by Carston then CC. So um, you know he

0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:36.200
<v Speaker 1>he we called him little C for a long time

0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:38.920
<v Speaker 1>and he wanted to be called Carston. Uh in about

0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:40.560
<v Speaker 1>the eighth or ninth grade. So we kind of flip

0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:45.200
<v Speaker 1>flop bunch lunch time. You threw a baseball? Oof? Um

0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:47.800
<v Speaker 1>I tried to throw BP to my boys about two

0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:51.919
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago. It didn't it didn't go to shoulder. Are

0:21:51.960 --> 0:21:56.359
<v Speaker 1>still not there? Yeah, they took you deep. I couldn't

0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:57.959
<v Speaker 1>even get it there. I couldn't even get it there.

0:21:58.440 --> 0:22:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Take it's pretty sad right now. If you watch me

0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:04.840
<v Speaker 1>through a basis, you just see the first picture throughout. Yeah,

0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:08.920
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of like that, right Well. I was wondering

0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:10.520
<v Speaker 1>if you were going to be in front of the mound,

0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:13.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, like should have you know what? And I

0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:15.040
<v Speaker 1>was like, should I go to the front of the mountain,

0:22:15.040 --> 0:22:17.680
<v Speaker 1>because when I was pitching, I always got I didn't

0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:19.919
<v Speaker 1>get mad, but just annoyed when people ran out to

0:22:19.960 --> 0:22:21.920
<v Speaker 1>the mound. You know what I'm saying, like, I'm about

0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:25.439
<v Speaker 1>to go this is my workspace of the mound. But

0:22:25.560 --> 0:22:27.119
<v Speaker 1>then I like that out there, and I went to

0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:28.679
<v Speaker 1>the mound and I get on the mount I'm like,

0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:31.119
<v Speaker 1>this is a little too far. I'm not gonna make it.

0:22:31.119 --> 0:22:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I knew I wasn't gonna make it immediately when I

0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:35.560
<v Speaker 1>sit out there, I was wondering, like a couple of

0:22:35.640 --> 0:22:39.879
<v Speaker 1>things here Walker Bueller has problems with blisters. But I

0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:43.520
<v Speaker 1>don't know. Do pictures get callouses like a guitar player

0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:46.960
<v Speaker 1>gets callouses and then it doesn't affect you. But how

0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:49.600
<v Speaker 1>does some picture? Why are they more susceptible to blisters.

0:22:50.000 --> 0:22:52.399
<v Speaker 1>You know what, It's weird. You either get callousis or

0:22:52.400 --> 0:22:54.560
<v Speaker 1>you get blist So I was always a guy that

0:22:54.680 --> 0:22:57.600
<v Speaker 1>just I would get like hard skinned like callouses. Um,

0:22:57.720 --> 0:23:00.520
<v Speaker 1>I can see where guys like in this same spot

0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:02.560
<v Speaker 1>where the guys would get blisters. So I can see

0:23:02.760 --> 0:23:05.280
<v Speaker 1>how that could affect you, and how some guys you

0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:08.040
<v Speaker 1>know couldn't pitch with that and and it really, you know,

0:23:08.160 --> 0:23:10.760
<v Speaker 1>really hurts. But mine would just build up like a

0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:15.439
<v Speaker 1>hard really hard callous and by like may I was

0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:16.760
<v Speaker 1>good to go for the rest of the season. But

0:23:16.800 --> 0:23:19.640
<v Speaker 1>I can see how some guys you know can develop blisters.

0:23:19.640 --> 0:23:22.760
<v Speaker 1>But you you either get blisters or it just develops

0:23:22.760 --> 0:23:24.719
<v Speaker 1>a really hard skin to kind of turn into a calus.

0:23:24.720 --> 0:23:27.400
<v Speaker 1>So there's nowhere around it. You kind of get both.

0:23:27.560 --> 0:23:30.359
<v Speaker 1>But but how do I then treat a blister if

0:23:30.640 --> 0:23:33.280
<v Speaker 1>it happens during a game? Is there anything you can

0:23:33.280 --> 0:23:36.000
<v Speaker 1>put on it? Do anything? There's really nothing that you

0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:38.119
<v Speaker 1>can do. And you know they have like you know,

0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:40.600
<v Speaker 1>these things that they try, like the liquid, you know,

0:23:40.760 --> 0:23:43.520
<v Speaker 1>skins and all that stuff, but it ends up ripping off,

0:23:43.600 --> 0:23:45.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, especially as soon as you put a pine

0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:48.520
<v Speaker 1>tar on or you know, the rising or anything to

0:23:48.640 --> 0:23:51.520
<v Speaker 1>try to keep your your your hand sticky, especially in

0:23:51.560 --> 0:23:53.080
<v Speaker 1>these playoff games. You know what I mean, you're making

0:23:53.119 --> 0:23:56.280
<v Speaker 1>big pitches, you're sweating, your hands get sweaty, so you

0:23:56.359 --> 0:23:58.199
<v Speaker 1>gotta you gotta have your hand dry. And as soon

0:23:58.240 --> 0:24:00.520
<v Speaker 1>as you do that, ripping off the ball, rips off

0:24:00.560 --> 0:24:03.399
<v Speaker 1>any kind of you know, any kind of medicine or

0:24:03.400 --> 0:24:05.840
<v Speaker 1>anything they put on there, and then your back raw again.

0:24:05.920 --> 0:24:08.520
<v Speaker 1>So it's really tough. I watched j Bernick go through

0:24:08.520 --> 0:24:11.440
<v Speaker 1>that and it just sucks. Man. It's really really tough

0:24:11.480 --> 0:24:13.600
<v Speaker 1>thing to deal with. What did you think of Walker

0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Bueller's pants last night, because you were the baggy ones? Yeah? Yeah,

0:24:19.840 --> 0:24:22.359
<v Speaker 1>like these are stretched yoga pants he had on there.

0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:24.600
<v Speaker 1>That's the new age, man, you know what I'm saying.

0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Everything comes back. It's like the kids now. You know,

0:24:27.080 --> 0:24:29.080
<v Speaker 1>when I was growing up, there was the baggy shorts

0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:30.920
<v Speaker 1>was the bigger, you know, was the was the thing,

0:24:30.960 --> 0:24:33.080
<v Speaker 1>and now they're going back to like the seventies and

0:24:33.119 --> 0:24:35.679
<v Speaker 1>eighty shorts. My son plays basketball too, and you know,

0:24:35.720 --> 0:24:38.880
<v Speaker 1>the smaller the better these days, so everything comes back.

0:24:40.119 --> 0:24:42.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if the smaller the better, the tighter

0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:45.119
<v Speaker 1>the better I can't imagine you out there. If you

0:24:45.160 --> 0:24:48.159
<v Speaker 1>were pitching now, you would be in those capri pants

0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:51.760
<v Speaker 1>that Walker Bueller had on last name. Absolutely mad But

0:24:51.760 --> 0:24:54.240
<v Speaker 1>But but as I got older, and you know, some

0:24:54.320 --> 0:24:56.040
<v Speaker 1>of these younger kids came up, they would give me

0:24:56.080 --> 0:24:57.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of crap about how big my pants were.

0:24:58.480 --> 0:25:00.639
<v Speaker 1>As you know, when I was in the middle of

0:25:00.720 --> 0:25:03.520
<v Speaker 1>my career, was cooler to wear a big pans. So yeah,

0:25:03.560 --> 0:25:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean I turned into the old you know, not

0:25:05.920 --> 0:25:08.080
<v Speaker 1>fashion guy, not fashionable guy at the end of my

0:25:08.119 --> 0:25:10.199
<v Speaker 1>career when you didn't have that at Cleveland, when you

0:25:10.280 --> 0:25:14.840
<v Speaker 1>pitch the tight pants, we had no baggie pans, um

0:25:14.920 --> 0:25:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I did. I started wearing the baggy pants about two

0:25:19.000 --> 0:25:22.200
<v Speaker 1>thousand and four or five, when I deemed myself a veteran,

0:25:22.240 --> 0:25:24.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, old enough to kind of do whatever I wanted.

0:25:24.520 --> 0:25:26.320
<v Speaker 1>The first couple of years, I just wore whatever they

0:25:26.320 --> 0:25:28.760
<v Speaker 1>gave me, which ended up being like tight and then

0:25:28.760 --> 0:25:30.600
<v Speaker 1>I had the elastic in the at the bottom, so

0:25:30.840 --> 0:25:34.160
<v Speaker 1>a bunch out it was. It was a very uh

0:25:34.359 --> 0:25:36.800
<v Speaker 1>bad Greg Maddox. Look, I guess I would have to

0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:39.439
<v Speaker 1>say earlier in my career and you're in Cleveland and

0:25:39.480 --> 0:25:41.720
<v Speaker 1>you're there at the time, Lebron is still in high school,

0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I believe. Yeah, when when did you get word that

0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:49.520
<v Speaker 1>there was this two way sports star in the area

0:25:50.160 --> 0:25:55.600
<v Speaker 1>right away? Um our our trainer with the Indians, Uh

0:25:55.680 --> 0:25:59.639
<v Speaker 1>Paul Spakuza, he reft high school football and basketball games,

0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:01.879
<v Speaker 1>and he would always tell me about this kid. He

0:26:01.880 --> 0:26:03.959
<v Speaker 1>was a Lebron was a freshman at the time, and

0:26:04.000 --> 0:26:06.399
<v Speaker 1>he was like, you gotta come see this kid play basketball.

0:26:06.800 --> 0:26:09.520
<v Speaker 1>You know he's gonna be the next Michael Jordan. And

0:26:09.520 --> 0:26:11.480
<v Speaker 1>he would always say, you know, this guy's a great

0:26:11.480 --> 0:26:13.760
<v Speaker 1>football player. Just come out and seeing I'm like, listen,

0:26:13.840 --> 0:26:16.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't like have time to go watch a ninth grader,

0:26:16.680 --> 0:26:18.480
<v Speaker 1>like a fourteen year old go play like I got

0:26:18.520 --> 0:26:20.199
<v Speaker 1>other stuff to do, you know what I'm saying, Like

0:26:20.760 --> 0:26:22.040
<v Speaker 1>last thing I want to be just go watch a

0:26:22.119 --> 0:26:25.240
<v Speaker 1>ninth grader. UM. Fast forward to the next year, he's

0:26:25.240 --> 0:26:28.200
<v Speaker 1>a sophomore UM and they're playing in state championship and

0:26:28.600 --> 0:26:31.239
<v Speaker 1>it was it was it was really close, and Uh

0:26:31.920 --> 0:26:34.159
<v Speaker 1>Paul goes, just come with me to the game. You

0:26:34.160 --> 0:26:35.919
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying, It'll be worth it. So I

0:26:35.960 --> 0:26:38.239
<v Speaker 1>ended up going to me and my wife and it was.

0:26:38.400 --> 0:26:40.680
<v Speaker 1>It was the Lebron James uc Now you know what

0:26:40.720 --> 0:26:43.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, it was he was a man amongst boys,

0:26:43.400 --> 0:26:45.920
<v Speaker 1>and you know it was just it was must see

0:26:46.520 --> 0:26:49.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, basketball and turned into must see TV. So

0:26:49.480 --> 0:26:51.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, watching him at fourteen fifteen years old, you

0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:53.720
<v Speaker 1>knew that this is what he was, you know, gonna

0:26:53.760 --> 0:26:57.440
<v Speaker 1>turn into Sabathia the former Shy Young winner and World

0:26:57.440 --> 0:27:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Series champion oh nine with the Yankees. How nervous would

0:27:00.720 --> 0:27:03.080
<v Speaker 1>you be if you're a Dodger fan, giving what's at

0:27:03.119 --> 0:27:06.920
<v Speaker 1>stake Clayton Kershaw today against the Braves. You know what,

0:27:07.280 --> 0:27:09.840
<v Speaker 1>I feel pretty good about Kerkshaw going out there today.

0:27:11.240 --> 0:27:14.560
<v Speaker 1>You know he's obviously, you know, found his velocities tick

0:27:14.640 --> 0:27:17.440
<v Speaker 1>back up. You know, he's found a way to pitch

0:27:17.520 --> 0:27:20.960
<v Speaker 1>with the less of velocity. You know, he's older now,

0:27:21.000 --> 0:27:22.719
<v Speaker 1>and I think just at some point these things got

0:27:22.840 --> 0:27:25.760
<v Speaker 1>have to turn around. So I would be a little nervous,

0:27:25.920 --> 0:27:28.080
<v Speaker 1>but I would actually feel pretty good about Kershaw going

0:27:28.119 --> 0:27:31.200
<v Speaker 1>out there, considering how he pitched all year this year

0:27:31.480 --> 0:27:33.720
<v Speaker 1>and even you know in his last playoffs start until

0:27:33.720 --> 0:27:36.119
<v Speaker 1>he gave up the back to back homers. But you

0:27:36.160 --> 0:27:38.479
<v Speaker 1>know how much of this is mental though, CC when

0:27:38.520 --> 0:27:42.479
<v Speaker 1>it comes to playoff baseball, especially with pitchers, they're just

0:27:42.560 --> 0:27:48.040
<v Speaker 1>some guys like Andy Pettit, Kurt Schilling, Smoltz. They're just

0:27:48.119 --> 0:27:51.040
<v Speaker 1>guys that say, you, I love the moment, give me

0:27:51.080 --> 0:27:54.600
<v Speaker 1>the ball, and you know, good things happen. Yeah, you

0:27:54.640 --> 0:27:56.439
<v Speaker 1>know what I could speak to myself. I had to

0:27:56.480 --> 0:27:58.879
<v Speaker 1>grow into that because if you look at the way

0:27:58.920 --> 0:28:02.040
<v Speaker 1>I pitched in two thousand Haven playoffs, Um, if I pitch,

0:28:02.480 --> 0:28:03.919
<v Speaker 1>you know the way I pitched the rest of my

0:28:03.960 --> 0:28:05.760
<v Speaker 1>career in the playoffs we were in the World Series

0:28:05.800 --> 0:28:07.760
<v Speaker 1>in Clevelood, you know, so I had to kind of

0:28:07.800 --> 0:28:10.600
<v Speaker 1>grow into you know, wanting the ball and kind of

0:28:10.680 --> 0:28:13.600
<v Speaker 1>understanding my body and you know, not letting the moment

0:28:13.640 --> 0:28:16.040
<v Speaker 1>be too big. So yeah, I mean it's one thousand

0:28:16.000 --> 0:28:18.840
<v Speaker 1>presentimental when it starts to pile on and you know,

0:28:18.920 --> 0:28:21.000
<v Speaker 1>you hear all these different things and then you know

0:28:21.000 --> 0:28:23.159
<v Speaker 1>you got your rival to Giants. You got bumped up

0:28:23.160 --> 0:28:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Gardener going out there. He's dealing every postseason. Yeah, it

0:28:26.240 --> 0:28:28.400
<v Speaker 1>starts to play with your mind, but you know, hopefully

0:28:28.400 --> 0:28:30.679
<v Speaker 1>he can get past us. And he's such a great picture.

0:28:30.680 --> 0:28:32.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he stopped pitching right now, he's going to

0:28:32.560 --> 0:28:34.479
<v Speaker 1>the Hall of Fame. So you don't want this one

0:28:34.520 --> 0:28:36.480
<v Speaker 1>thing to be a not so hopefully he can he

0:28:36.600 --> 0:28:38.640
<v Speaker 1>s these guys to a World Series because if he

0:28:38.680 --> 0:28:42.080
<v Speaker 1>pitches the way he pitches in the in a regular season,

0:28:42.120 --> 0:28:44.560
<v Speaker 1>in the postseason, the last five years they have a title,

0:28:44.680 --> 0:28:47.520
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. So you start to believe

0:28:47.520 --> 0:28:49.680
<v Speaker 1>it's your fault. What's you like to go out on

0:28:49.720 --> 0:28:53.200
<v Speaker 1>the mound and you know you don't have it? And man,

0:28:53.320 --> 0:28:55.239
<v Speaker 1>you know it sounds crazy. I never knew that when

0:28:55.280 --> 0:28:58.160
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have it. I always I always though I

0:28:58.320 --> 0:29:02.040
<v Speaker 1>was like, but you did found out pretty quick. But

0:29:02.080 --> 0:29:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm always like one pitched away, bass loaded, already left

0:29:06.000 --> 0:29:07.840
<v Speaker 1>seven runs in the first game, but I still want to.

0:29:10.040 --> 0:29:13.400
<v Speaker 1>So I was really stubborn and you know, not again

0:29:13.440 --> 0:29:16.240
<v Speaker 1>stuff evaluator in that way to always think that I

0:29:16.240 --> 0:29:18.239
<v Speaker 1>can go out and get out, even at the end

0:29:18.280 --> 0:29:21.400
<v Speaker 1>of my career. So yeah, I mean I always thought

0:29:21.400 --> 0:29:25.960
<v Speaker 1>I had it. Do you have a baseball nearby? Um?

0:29:26.400 --> 0:29:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Let me see, yeah, right here, Yeah, it is a

0:29:32.840 --> 0:29:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Marianna Rivera signed baseball. So so if you were gonna

0:29:38.640 --> 0:29:41.280
<v Speaker 1>show like a normal grip, like do you know how

0:29:41.480 --> 0:29:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Kershaw grips like his curveball or you know, does he

0:29:45.160 --> 0:29:48.560
<v Speaker 1>do anything different you being both left handed. Yeah, no,

0:29:48.600 --> 0:29:50.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I wish I could. I wish I would,

0:29:51.000 --> 0:29:52.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, pay attention to that looked it up. But

0:29:53.080 --> 0:29:55.000
<v Speaker 1>when I did throw a curveball, it was just right

0:29:55.080 --> 0:29:58.280
<v Speaker 1>here on the scene like that. Um, so you're you're

0:29:58.320 --> 0:30:01.800
<v Speaker 1>digging your your nail in the in the seam. I

0:30:01.840 --> 0:30:03.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't really dig my nail in, but I kind of

0:30:03.760 --> 0:30:06.760
<v Speaker 1>like spiked it, okay, But I didn't like dig my

0:30:06.840 --> 0:30:08.960
<v Speaker 1>nail in like a lot of those guys, just because

0:30:09.000 --> 0:30:12.280
<v Speaker 1>I was always scared about tipping my picture. So I

0:30:12.320 --> 0:30:14.360
<v Speaker 1>would always think, like maybe somebody can see that my

0:30:14.440 --> 0:30:16.960
<v Speaker 1>nail up or something like that. So I always wore

0:30:16.960 --> 0:30:19.239
<v Speaker 1>bigger gloves and like, you know, make sure they were

0:30:19.320 --> 0:30:21.320
<v Speaker 1>really stiff, just so I can you know, hide my

0:30:21.400 --> 0:30:23.840
<v Speaker 1>chage up in there, or be digging around for the

0:30:23.880 --> 0:30:26.520
<v Speaker 1>ball and not really you know, worry about somebody seeing

0:30:26.560 --> 0:30:29.080
<v Speaker 1>what I was grabbing. What how did Marianna hold the

0:30:29.080 --> 0:30:33.240
<v Speaker 1>ball for a slider? Well, it's cutter cut it was.

0:30:33.360 --> 0:30:36.800
<v Speaker 1>It was a cross like that. And if you threw

0:30:36.840 --> 0:30:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the same pitch, not the same reaction, not the same

0:30:42.200 --> 0:30:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that amazing? Though? Yeah, you know what so Mo

0:30:45.080 --> 0:30:47.520
<v Speaker 1>and Andy really taught me to ketter, which saved me,

0:30:47.920 --> 0:30:50.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, my last four years in my career. Um

0:30:51.040 --> 0:30:54.400
<v Speaker 1>And and you know, I kind of learned Mo's grip,

0:30:55.000 --> 0:30:57.560
<v Speaker 1>but I wanted Andy's arm action just because I knew

0:30:57.560 --> 0:30:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't never mimic what mo was doing with the ball,

0:31:00.000 --> 0:31:01.720
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. So I just tried to

0:31:01.720 --> 0:31:04.080
<v Speaker 1>get mine as close as to Andy Petted as I could.

0:31:04.480 --> 0:31:06.600
<v Speaker 1>So I would talk to Andy Moore about what he

0:31:06.640 --> 0:31:09.000
<v Speaker 1>was actually thinking about the cutter, but I would always

0:31:09.080 --> 0:31:13.080
<v Speaker 1>use most grip. You didn't smear the autograph, did you? Now?

0:31:13.160 --> 0:31:14.600
<v Speaker 1>If I do, I can, I can get I can.

0:31:17.000 --> 0:31:19.560
<v Speaker 1>What are you doing with Draft Kings? Uh? So we

0:31:19.600 --> 0:31:22.320
<v Speaker 1>teamed up with Draft Kings through the playoffs, you know,

0:31:22.400 --> 0:31:24.920
<v Speaker 1>just trying to get people engaged with the product. I'm

0:31:24.960 --> 0:31:27.760
<v Speaker 1>a big daily fantasy player, so um it was it

0:31:27.800 --> 0:31:29.680
<v Speaker 1>was easy and exciting to team up with them. And

0:31:29.960 --> 0:31:32.960
<v Speaker 1>you know we teamed you know, throughout the championship series. Um,

0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:35.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, we've been you know, just doing interviews and

0:31:35.440 --> 0:31:38.400
<v Speaker 1>letting people know about the product. Are do you do

0:31:38.480 --> 0:31:43.680
<v Speaker 1>fantasy football? I do? But you almost played college football, right?

0:31:44.080 --> 0:31:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I did? Yeah? So this week was like the classic,

0:31:47.560 --> 0:31:50.720
<v Speaker 1>like what you don't want as a fantasy player, I

0:31:50.800 --> 0:31:53.040
<v Speaker 1>have pat my homes. But then my Raiders were playing

0:31:53.120 --> 0:31:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Kansas City and we never beat Kansas City in Kansas City.

0:31:56.240 --> 0:31:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Has been twenty years since we beat Kansas City Kansas City.

0:31:58.880 --> 0:32:01.280
<v Speaker 1>So I was a little bum doubt that, like we

0:32:01.400 --> 0:32:03.400
<v Speaker 1>shut them down so much because I needed to win

0:32:03.480 --> 0:32:06.040
<v Speaker 1>in fantasy. But I was super excited that that the

0:32:06.120 --> 0:32:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Raiders got to win in Kansas City. So that's kind

0:32:08.600 --> 0:32:10.760
<v Speaker 1>of like if you're a super fan of a team,

0:32:11.280 --> 0:32:13.080
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of like the down that's kind of like

0:32:13.080 --> 0:32:16.200
<v Speaker 1>the downside of playing fantasy, you know. But you know,

0:32:16.240 --> 0:32:18.360
<v Speaker 1>being a Raider fan, like you're okay that they went

0:32:18.360 --> 0:32:23.040
<v Speaker 1>to Vegas. I am um as a fan. You know,

0:32:23.280 --> 0:32:26.800
<v Speaker 1>I grew up an LA Raider fan obviously the early eighties. Um,

0:32:26.800 --> 0:32:30.120
<v Speaker 1>so you know, I wasn't really connected. I mean, I'm

0:32:30.160 --> 0:32:32.880
<v Speaker 1>super connected to the Oakland Raiders being from the Bay.

0:32:33.000 --> 0:32:35.200
<v Speaker 1>But but I'll travel to LA to go watch them,

0:32:35.240 --> 0:32:37.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, And I have no problem traveling in the

0:32:37.360 --> 0:32:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Vegas uh. As an athlete playing in the Oakland Coliseum,

0:32:41.320 --> 0:32:44.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited that these guys place to play. Man, Like,

0:32:44.840 --> 0:32:48.120
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, man it's an awful, awful, awful place

0:32:48.200 --> 0:32:51.720
<v Speaker 1>to play sports. So even watch a game. I went

0:32:51.760 --> 0:32:54.160
<v Speaker 1>to watch a game. I went to watch a baseball

0:32:54.200 --> 0:32:57.400
<v Speaker 1>game there. It was the Royals against the A's, and

0:32:57.480 --> 0:33:00.440
<v Speaker 1>I remember there were like four guys who came rolling

0:33:00.440 --> 0:33:02.800
<v Speaker 1>out of the top deck. They were fighting with each other.

0:33:03.480 --> 0:33:07.520
<v Speaker 1>There was no fans there whatsoever. It was that might

0:33:07.560 --> 0:33:09.880
<v Speaker 1>have been the worst stadium in all the sports. It

0:33:09.960 --> 0:33:12.520
<v Speaker 1>had to be because you're not connected for a baseball game,

0:33:12.560 --> 0:33:15.480
<v Speaker 1>you're so far away. It's so much foul territory, you

0:33:15.520 --> 0:33:18.320
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying. Like, and as a as a

0:33:18.360 --> 0:33:21.360
<v Speaker 1>fan of the Raiders, you just want nice stuff, like

0:33:21.360 --> 0:33:23.320
<v Speaker 1>you go to each other stadiums and you see like

0:33:23.440 --> 0:33:25.960
<v Speaker 1>nice sweets and all of this stuff. And so now

0:33:25.960 --> 0:33:28.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited to have a Brandon stadium to go to.

0:33:28.240 --> 0:33:30.320
<v Speaker 1>And you know, as long as the Raiders are the Raiders,

0:33:30.320 --> 0:33:32.160
<v Speaker 1>I'll follow them to the moon. As long as they

0:33:32.160 --> 0:33:35.560
<v Speaker 1>don't change the name, I'll go wherever they go. Now,

0:33:35.560 --> 0:33:37.680
<v Speaker 1>are you doing more media stuff? Now? Are you working

0:33:37.680 --> 0:33:40.440
<v Speaker 1>with ESPN or what are you doing? No? I did

0:33:40.680 --> 0:33:43.440
<v Speaker 1>ESPN that last year. Then I played, Um Now I'm

0:33:43.480 --> 0:33:45.560
<v Speaker 1>just doing my podcast. I'm a podcast with Ryan Rucco,

0:33:46.480 --> 0:33:49.719
<v Speaker 1>R two C two's on the Ringer and Spotify. Um,

0:33:49.800 --> 0:33:51.920
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, I'm just doing you know, little things like this.

0:33:52.240 --> 0:33:56.040
<v Speaker 1>You should be doing more, You should be doing some stuff. Yeah,

0:33:56.040 --> 0:33:58.760
<v Speaker 1>I'll try. You know, right now, my son is traveling

0:33:58.800 --> 0:34:01.000
<v Speaker 1>with baseball so much, and you know, I just didn't

0:34:01.040 --> 0:34:02.600
<v Speaker 1>want to get on the schedule where I was like

0:34:02.680 --> 0:34:05.480
<v Speaker 1>locked into something, you know, every day or every week

0:34:05.560 --> 0:34:07.920
<v Speaker 1>or something like that. But yeah, I mean I love sports.

0:34:07.920 --> 0:34:09.840
<v Speaker 1>I watch all sports, and it would be fun to

0:34:10.440 --> 0:34:12.920
<v Speaker 1>be able to talk about everything, not just baseball. You know,

0:34:13.400 --> 0:34:16.799
<v Speaker 1>I watched so much NFL, NBA, I watch a lot

0:34:16.840 --> 0:34:19.799
<v Speaker 1>of soccer, So it would be fun to have something

0:34:19.800 --> 0:34:21.480
<v Speaker 1>where I can just talk all sports all the time.

0:34:21.760 --> 0:34:23.480

0:34:30.280 --> 0:34:32.600

0:34:32.600 --> 0:34:34.400

0:34:54.280 --> 0:34:57.560
<v Speaker 1>until noon eastern six to nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio,

<v Speaker 1>or stream us live on the Peacock apt you want

0:35:04.200 --> 0:35:08.200
<v Speaker 1>to talk about baptism by fire, here's Justin Herbert who

0:35:08.640 --> 0:35:11.680
<v Speaker 1>gets thrown into a game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

0:35:11.920 --> 0:35:14.759
<v Speaker 1>He faced Patrick Mahomes, he's faced Tom Brady, and he's

0:35:14.800 --> 0:35:19.200
<v Speaker 1>faced Drew Brees, and he's held himself almost to the

0:35:19.239 --> 0:35:21.200
<v Speaker 1>same level with them. I mean he hung in with

0:35:21.239 --> 0:35:23.160
<v Speaker 1>all of those. I mean even last night he I'll

0:35:23.200 --> 0:35:26.839
<v Speaker 1>played Drew Brees, you know, four touchdown passes, no interceptions there.

0:35:27.200 --> 0:35:30.759
<v Speaker 1>To go toe to toe with those MVPs and their

0:35:30.840 --> 0:35:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Hall of famers right out of the gate is really

0:35:34.239 --> 0:35:38.560
<v Speaker 1>impressive and not known as I think when we saw

0:35:38.640 --> 0:35:41.040
<v Speaker 1>him at Oregon, we were seeing what we thought was

0:35:41.080 --> 0:35:43.360
<v Speaker 1>a finished product, and then he went back to Oregon

0:35:43.440 --> 0:35:45.919
<v Speaker 1>and then it felt like it was an unfinished product there.

0:35:46.320 --> 0:35:50.400
<v Speaker 1>I think there was concern about his accuracy. He has athleticism,

0:35:50.400 --> 0:35:52.640
<v Speaker 1>you saw that in the Rose Bowl with three rushing touchdowns,

0:35:53.239 --> 0:35:56.919
<v Speaker 1>but he seems like he's able to handle the moment. There.

0:35:57.480 --> 0:36:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Here's Justin Herbert after last night's loss. We got to

0:36:00.680 --> 0:36:02.239
<v Speaker 1>learn how to close our games. You know, it's a

0:36:02.280 --> 0:36:04.319
<v Speaker 1>second week in a row where we had a lead

0:36:04.320 --> 0:36:06.319
<v Speaker 1>and we let it go and just have to learn

0:36:06.480 --> 0:36:08.839
<v Speaker 1>to close out games. And when we're up, we need

0:36:08.840 --> 0:36:10.640
<v Speaker 1>to keep rolling, and we need to play consistently all

0:36:10.640 --> 0:36:12.880
<v Speaker 1>four quarters. And that's we haven't been able to do

0:36:12.920 --> 0:36:15.760
<v Speaker 1>that best. Yeah, I and that's been a big issue.

0:36:15.800 --> 0:36:17.680
<v Speaker 1>But that was a big issue with Philip rivers Man.

0:36:17.719 --> 0:36:20.799
<v Speaker 1>It continues here with Justin Herbert, even though Herbert played

0:36:20.800 --> 0:36:23.680
<v Speaker 1>extremely well. Final results of the poll question McLevin who

0:36:23.680 --> 0:36:26.520
<v Speaker 1>takes loss as the hardest, the players, the coaches, or

0:36:26.560 --> 0:36:30.720
<v Speaker 1>the owners. Players and coaches basically tied at forty six percent,

0:36:31.000 --> 0:36:34.760
<v Speaker 1>And then a few people say the owners. Yeah, maybe

0:36:34.840 --> 0:36:38.120
<v Speaker 1>fans should have been in there too. That's true, because

0:36:38.640 --> 0:36:41.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you hear people call in all the time

0:36:41.280 --> 0:36:44.080
<v Speaker 1>here on this show, and it just they're either you know,

0:36:44.160 --> 0:36:48.320
<v Speaker 1>on cloud nine, or they're in purgatory. And those losses

0:36:48.400 --> 0:36:51.160
<v Speaker 1>just stay with you. And if you have friends who

0:36:51.239 --> 0:36:53.120
<v Speaker 1>give you grief all the time, I mean that's where

0:36:53.160 --> 0:36:55.520
<v Speaker 1>they go. They're gonna go for the most sensitive spot

0:36:55.960 --> 0:36:58.239
<v Speaker 1>and be well. Could be worse. I could be a

0:36:58.280 --> 0:37:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Falcons fan or throw in whatever team you want to

0:37:01.560 --> 0:37:04.879
<v Speaker 1>throw in there. Chris, and Wisconsin joins us. Good morning, Chris,

0:37:04.880 --> 0:37:08.400
<v Speaker 1>what's on your mind today? Then? I love the show.

0:37:08.640 --> 0:37:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to call in about the Lebron Jordan

0:37:11.040 --> 0:37:14.000
<v Speaker 1>debate and I was just you never mentioned the two

0:37:14.080 --> 0:37:16.960
<v Speaker 1>years that Jordan took off, and I think you'd have

0:37:17.000 --> 0:37:19.920
<v Speaker 1>to assume that he wins at least seven, which completely

0:37:20.000 --> 0:37:23.359
<v Speaker 1>changes the debate. Well, I didn't say that Michael wasn't

0:37:23.400 --> 0:37:28.440
<v Speaker 1>the greatest player, Chris. I'm saying the greatest resume, Lebron

0:37:28.600 --> 0:37:31.320
<v Speaker 1>is going to be blow away Michael and his stats.

0:37:31.440 --> 0:37:34.239
<v Speaker 1>He's just not going to have as many titles. Even

0:37:34.280 --> 0:37:37.280
<v Speaker 1>if Lebron had you know, five, and Michael has seven.

0:37:38.239 --> 0:37:41.279
<v Speaker 1>I feel like even if Lebron had six with Michael six,

0:37:41.360 --> 0:37:43.239
<v Speaker 1>it's still not going to be good enough for people. Yeah,

0:37:43.360 --> 0:37:45.920
<v Speaker 1>mclub didn't Jordan kind of saying the documentary, if I

0:37:45.920 --> 0:37:47.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't take those two years off, I might not have

0:37:47.880 --> 0:37:50.120
<v Speaker 1>had the two years at the end of my career, Like,

0:37:50.440 --> 0:37:52.239
<v Speaker 1>is it a sure thing that he would have stuck

0:37:52.280 --> 0:37:54.840
<v Speaker 1>around if for eight? Like people give him eight titles

0:37:55.080 --> 0:37:56.960
<v Speaker 1>because those two. Oh, I know, we're handing him out

0:37:56.960 --> 0:38:00.200
<v Speaker 1>like trick or treat candy. He hinted that I did

0:38:00.239 --> 0:38:03.600
<v Speaker 1>that break to fuel the last run with three more times. Yeah,

0:38:03.600 --> 0:38:05.960
<v Speaker 1>and I believe that because he was burned out, he

0:38:06.000 --> 0:38:08.719
<v Speaker 1>was exhausted. I don't think it's a given that Mike

0:38:08.760 --> 0:38:12.520
<v Speaker 1>would have ended up with eight. But you know, if

0:38:11.920 --> 0:38:15.440
<v Speaker 1>people you want to build build up the myth, uh

0:38:15.719 --> 0:38:19.120
<v Speaker 1>even bigger, go ahead, have at it. Yeah, pullb me.

0:38:19.160 --> 0:38:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Wait are you are you saying it's not automatic that

0:38:21.200 --> 0:38:24.560
<v Speaker 1>if Michael didn't play baseball he'd have eight in a row. Yeah,

0:38:24.560 --> 0:38:30.080
<v Speaker 1>you had shaken Yeah, go figure, go figure. I think

0:38:30.080 --> 0:38:32.120
<v Speaker 1>the Rockets, if they went toe to toe, I think

0:38:32.120 --> 0:38:38.319
<v Speaker 1>the Rockets were a better team at basketball. No baseball. Yeah,

0:38:38.360 --> 0:38:40.560
<v Speaker 1>a kame man. He could play some first base. Yes,

0:38:40.719 --> 0:38:42.840
<v Speaker 1>McLevin Lebron kind of took last year off by the

0:38:42.840 --> 0:38:46.319
<v Speaker 1>way to refuel. Wow, I mean no, he was hurt, Like, yeah,

0:38:46.400 --> 0:38:48.880
<v Speaker 1>he didn't take it off. He got a hurt of rested.

0:38:48.920 --> 0:38:51.600
<v Speaker 1>He's like I'm gonna read he got hurt that you

0:38:51.680 --> 0:38:54.200
<v Speaker 1>rest when you get at Even Kawai said he took

0:38:54.239 --> 0:38:58.200
<v Speaker 1>that year off. He totally load. Did Kaui take this

0:38:58.280 --> 0:39:04.040
<v Speaker 1>year off too? I haven't heard that Kauai is the

0:39:04.040 --> 0:39:05.719
<v Speaker 1>best player in the game. I haven't heard that talk

0:39:05.760 --> 0:39:09.399
<v Speaker 1>in a while. Where'd that go? Kyle in California? Hey Kyle,

0:39:09.440 --> 0:39:14.000
<v Speaker 1>what's on your mind today? Adpum nclove? And first off,

0:39:14.080 --> 0:39:16.319
<v Speaker 1>Joe will Embid I think he's taking his whole career off.

0:39:18.640 --> 0:39:20.600
<v Speaker 1>And first of all, Mury was never gonna win the

0:39:20.600 --> 0:39:22.960
<v Speaker 1>eighth straight. They weren't beating the ninety five magic, they

0:39:22.960 --> 0:39:26.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't have any rebounding, so everyone there hushed that. And

0:39:26.880 --> 0:39:29.839
<v Speaker 1>then the whole Lebron during thing, Like Lebron's whole thing

0:39:29.960 --> 0:39:33.880
<v Speaker 1>is he's so adamant about people respecting the way he plays.

0:39:34.400 --> 0:39:36.920
<v Speaker 1>He loved Michael, that's why he's number twenty three, but

0:39:37.040 --> 0:39:38.759
<v Speaker 1>he didn't want to do it that way. If that's

0:39:38.800 --> 0:39:41.160
<v Speaker 1>not who he is. He's a past first guy. It's

0:39:41.200 --> 0:39:43.680
<v Speaker 1>his best skill. It's what you always talk about. That's

0:39:43.719 --> 0:39:46.799
<v Speaker 1>what everybody talks about. People want Lebron wants people to

0:39:46.840 --> 0:39:49.879
<v Speaker 1>appreciate everything he does. Just like with the upset about

0:39:49.920 --> 0:39:52.680
<v Speaker 1>not winning MVP this year. Maybe he didn't think he

0:39:52.719 --> 0:39:55.960
<v Speaker 1>was MVP. But he's saying, Jannis isn't doing all the

0:39:56.000 --> 0:39:59.760
<v Speaker 1>things I do behind the scenes with the Lakers galvanizing.

0:39:59.800 --> 0:40:03.120
<v Speaker 1>The leader said, Baba, all that stuff is what Lebron.

0:40:03.960 --> 0:40:06.439
<v Speaker 1>He needs that respect and that's where he's just talking

0:40:06.480 --> 0:40:08.480
<v Speaker 1>to get it. Yeah, and I didn't want to have

0:40:08.600 --> 0:40:10.680
<v Speaker 1>him beg for it. Thank you, Kyle as always. I

0:40:10.719 --> 0:40:16.040
<v Speaker 1>love your perspective, you know Lebron saying, you know now

0:40:16.080 --> 0:40:19.360
<v Speaker 1>I want my damn respect. If you have to ask

0:40:19.440 --> 0:40:21.799
<v Speaker 1>for it, it's not worth it. Whoever's going to give

0:40:21.800 --> 0:40:24.880
<v Speaker 1>it to you. They either appreciate you or they don't,

0:40:25.800 --> 0:40:28.640
<v Speaker 1>and they're just gonna be. There's a certain faction that's

0:40:28.719 --> 0:40:32.279
<v Speaker 1>never going to appreciate Lebron and he has to come

0:40:32.280 --> 0:40:35.359
<v Speaker 1>to that realization. No matter what happens, it doesn't, it's

0:40:35.360 --> 0:40:38.520
<v Speaker 1>not gonna matter. All right, let me see what else

0:40:38.560 --> 0:40:40.680
<v Speaker 1>do we have. I think I ran through everything, Yeah,

0:40:40.719 --> 0:40:43.920
<v Speaker 1>PAULI this Dane sports history nineteen sixty Dan Bill Massowski's

0:40:43.920 --> 0:40:45.759
<v Speaker 1>bottom of the ninth home run allowed the Pirates to

0:40:45.760 --> 0:40:47.719
<v Speaker 1>beat the Yankees, first time a home run ended the

0:40:47.760 --> 0:40:50.560
<v Speaker 1>world Series nineteen seventy one, the first World Series night

0:40:50.600 --> 0:40:54.400
<v Speaker 1>game telecast on NBC. Baltimore defeated Pittsburgh at three rivers.

0:40:54.920 --> 0:40:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Ninety eight. The NBA season was canceled due to a

0:40:57.880 --> 0:40:59.919
<v Speaker 1>work stoppage, first time in the fifty one year history.

0:41:00.040 --> 0:41:02.920
<v Speaker 1>And in two thousand and two, Urannaheim Angel defeated the

0:41:02.920 --> 0:41:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota Twins to advance to their first World Series. Think

0:41:05.680 --> 0:41:10.800
<v Speaker 1>against San Francisco, that's all right, the Angels against the Giants.

0:41:10.840 --> 0:41:15.879
<v Speaker 1>Giants fall of O two, didn't didn't. Bonds hit one

0:41:16.120 --> 0:41:19.840
<v Speaker 1>in the upper deck, that's right. That ended off Troy Percival.

0:41:20.040 --> 0:41:23.319
<v Speaker 1>It went into the concession stand area, and you remember

0:41:23.360 --> 0:41:27.520
<v Speaker 1>what happened The next morning, I could say this the

0:41:27.600 --> 0:41:29.959
<v Speaker 1>guy who caught bonds first home run in the World

0:41:29.960 --> 0:41:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Series standing outside pack Bell Park. I think it was

0:41:33.280 --> 0:41:35.759
<v Speaker 1>called Yeah. We were doing the Dan Patrick Show upstairs

0:41:35.760 --> 0:41:39.399
<v Speaker 1>in the booth. He said, I caught Barry Bonds home run.

0:41:39.440 --> 0:41:41.080
<v Speaker 1>I was on TV. I just want to give it

0:41:41.120 --> 0:41:44.160
<v Speaker 1>back to Barry and maybe switch it for an autograph ball.

0:41:44.480 --> 0:41:47.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't mind saying the story. He went in. We

0:41:47.440 --> 0:41:50.759
<v Speaker 1>introduced him to Jim moorehead, the head of PR for

0:41:50.800 --> 0:41:54.480
<v Speaker 1>the San Francisco Giants and Jim moorehead was like, oh boy,

0:41:54.920 --> 0:41:57.680
<v Speaker 1>and I watched. I was standing in the clubhouse. Outside

0:41:57.719 --> 0:41:59.680
<v Speaker 1>the clubhouse and Jim moorehead of the Giants, walked over

0:41:59.719 --> 0:42:01.759
<v Speaker 1>to Barry Bonds at the locker and said, there's a

0:42:01.760 --> 0:42:04.279
<v Speaker 1>guy outside who's got your home run ball. He just

0:42:04.320 --> 0:42:07.520
<v Speaker 1>wants to switch it for an autographed ball. He didn't

0:42:07.560 --> 0:42:11.040
<v Speaker 1>want to meet Barry or anything like that. And Barry squints, looks,

0:42:11.040 --> 0:42:14.360
<v Speaker 1>shakes his hand, says no and went back to his headphones,

0:42:15.719 --> 0:42:17.239
<v Speaker 1>and I had to go tell the fan outside the

0:42:17.239 --> 0:42:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Barry Bonds said, oh god, that was the first. That's

0:42:20.160 --> 0:42:23.560
<v Speaker 1>the first Angels World series. I remember traveling across country

0:42:23.560 --> 0:42:26.799
<v Speaker 1>to do an interview with Bonds and I show up

0:42:26.800 --> 0:42:29.320
<v Speaker 1>in Bonds was like, I didn't agree to any interview.

0:42:29.360 --> 0:42:32.200
<v Speaker 1>I said, your agent did, so he calls his agent.

0:42:32.200 --> 0:42:34.080
<v Speaker 1>An agent said no, you got to do the interview.

0:42:34.400 --> 0:42:37.279
<v Speaker 1>And then I gave Barry the microphone and he said,

0:42:37.320 --> 0:42:40.239
<v Speaker 1>I ain't holding that. Slavery's been over for whatever how

0:42:40.239 --> 0:42:43.600
<v Speaker 1>many years. I went, oh, we're not. This isn't going well.

0:42:44.320 --> 0:42:48.319
<v Speaker 1>So my producer Darren Smith had to hold the microphone

0:42:48.440 --> 0:42:52.759
