00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: I forgot about Jacqueline, but of course I got to

20
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: explained to millennials who Jacqueline Bissett is.

Speaker 4: Each other like on Twitter or something.

27
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 3: Are you really wow, dude?

28
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: If this was the nineties and I was single, I

29
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: would I would completely overcome your your Twitter account so

30
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: I could meet her.

31
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 3: There you go. But it's not the nineties, and and

32
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: I'm married, and so you know, well.

33
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 4: It's a swing in Friday night.

34
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: I mean that is we we got both shot today.

35
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 4: I had to send multiple takes of a video because

36
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 4: I kept cursing too much excited utterances, and Elija's like, damn,

37
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 4: that's too far.

38
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a bridge too far, even for you, Mike Carmen.

39
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: So when I woke when I woke up today, right,

40
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: I always know when something big happens with one of

41
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: my teams because I wake up because I always turned

42
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: my phone off because so many people my family just

43
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: you know, don't understand that. Oh yes, I forgot, I'm

44
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: three hours ahead. So I'm getting on a group family

45
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: text at six in the morning. Because so I always

46
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: turned my phone off. So I turned my phone on

47
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 1: and it's I'm going, oh, this is everybody who woke

48
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: up this morning and found out that Kyle Tucker is

49
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: a Dodger because that happened late last night, right like right,

50
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: And we went on the air ten o'clock on the

51
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: East coast for a lot of my family, you know,

52
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: they're in bed by then, so they're just finding out.

53
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: And here come the ha ha has and all I

54
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: see from the first couple of as you know, your

55
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: text go and you just see him as they they

56
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: they as they as they file in, I just see

57
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: Bo Bo, and I go, we got Bobashett, Like right away,

58
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: I knew It's like all I needed to see was

59
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: his name. His first day, he said, we got Bobashet

60
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,119
Speaker 1: or Bo Jackson's coming out of retirement to play.

61
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 3: For the Mets. One of those two that we got bobashev.

62
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: And my hands are cramping and they're and they're shaking

63
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: as I'm typing into sea.

64
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 3: And when I saw the deal, I've sat back at

65
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: I said.

66
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: We did better off the day after missing out on

67
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker than the Dodgers did getting Kyle Tucker. And

68
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: I thought, Wow, Now that's something that doesn't really happen.

69
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: We just kind of lucked into that because I'll tell

70
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: you what you tell any MLB team owner, fan, salary,

71
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: luxury taxologist, whatever, to say, Okay, what's the contract and

72
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: player you'd rather have? Kyle Tucker who's terrific player right,

73
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: multiple All Star but didn't have a great year last year.

74
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: Gotta make sure he's healthy. Do you want Kyle Tucker

75
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: for that four years and sixty million a year because

76
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: it's going to cut into luxury tax and whatever changes

77
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: are coming with Major League Baseball? You know, Rob Manford's

78
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: going to have to do something. The lockout is coming.

79
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: Or wo'd you rather have Boba Shad for three years

80
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: and one hundred million? Terrific player right, really down year

81
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: two years ago, great year last year, but you got

82
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: him for three years and just over one hundred with

83
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: a couple of opt outs, Like okay, if it works great,

84
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: If it doesn't, everybody moves on. You tell me which

85
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: contract everybody would rather have. I'm like the Mets failed

86
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: and won. It was like to pulling the Homer Simpson

87
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: to succeed despite yourself.

88
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 4: Mike Carman, Well, in the end, the Tucker contract. After

89
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 4: two years, everybody can decide whether they like the world

90
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 4: or not. Right, and if Tucker's the guy that he

91
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 4: thinks he is, then great. Same thing with Bo Baschett,

92
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 4: the fact that it's a three year deal. Look, I'll

93
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 4: always take the shortstop. Yeah I wish he hit from

94
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 4: the left side, but that's okay. But I'll always take

95
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 4: the shortstop over even a gold glove corner outfielder or

96
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 4: an eventual DH which Bishett certainly has done his time

97
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 4: there as well. But all that in in three years,

98
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 4: it resets. Everybody wins in this scenario because of the

99
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 4: short term deal. He gets paid pretty good, top of

100
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 4: top of market money and he's only entering what twenty eight,

101
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 4: so you're looking at your power prime and all of

102
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 4: that fun stuff. Proof of concept. Now he goes to

103
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 4: New York Will team would and you start getting all

104
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 4: excited about the heart of your lineup reconstituted and loaded

105
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 4: for bear. Remember all the money that comes on and

106
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 4: off books for everybody that got all upset about Kyle

107
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 4: Tucker a night ago. But in three years you'all reset

108
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 4: and decide, hey, do we want to re up? I

109
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 4: mean a lot of folks say that they should do

110
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 4: this with the relationships. Contracts are usually three to four years.

111
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 4: I mean all of these things. Let's reevaluate things and

112
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 4: see where we're at.

113
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, you have so much flexibility. Look,

114
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 3: it's flexibility that's built into this one. Maybe you get

115
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 3: it with Kyle Tucker, maybe you don't.

116
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: It depends if the guy stinks he's not out the

117
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: out of sixty million, he's staying, you're stuck like this

118
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: is this is a much better contracts. I remember talking

119
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: last night in the final hour of the show where

120
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: I said my big fear now for teams as what

121
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: I mean, not just the Mets but other teams, is

122
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: that now that Kyle Tucker is off the board and

123
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: off the board of the Dodgers, teams are gonna panic.

124
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 3: They're gonna panic and overpay.

125
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: And we said Boba Schett and for Cody Bellinger and

126
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: other players, and they're gonna overpay and it's gonna be

127
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: really bad. I was stunned when I saw, Okay, what's

128
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: the deal three years and and just over one hundred

129
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: million and it forty two. Wow, that's that's the deal.

130
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: That's incredible.

131
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 3: That's incredible.

132
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: And not only that we took him away from the Phillies,

133
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: who it's like, wow, I mean the Phillies really, I

134
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: this is this has been just a downward spiral for

135
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: them the last last few months, from the end of

136
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: the season where they couldn't win again. And Bryce Harper

137
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: is being called just a good player by his GM

138
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: and they're losing players, They're losing relievers and starting pitchers,

139
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: and now the guy they had earmarked to come in

140
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: for seven years and two hundred million dollars is going

141
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: to the Mets like this is the I mean, I

142
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: don't I don't get this kind of luck, which means

143
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: now something really bad is going to happen to the Jets,

144
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: and and RVL Reese is going to decide, Hey, I'm

145
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 1: going back to school because I don't want to go

146
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: to the Jets either. At number two, like the nixt

147
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna find out Jalen Brunson is taking some time

148
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: away to go on a darkness retreat because he heard

149
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: it was really good. And I'm gonna rehab my ankle

150
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: that I mean, I know that this is too much

151
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: luck for something good, so I know I'm gonna have

152
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: to pay somewhere else well, but at Jalen Brunson takes

153
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: some time away. As long as he's back by the

154
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: middle of April, you're fine, because they're not gonna fill

155
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: out of the ten seed. The Eastern Conference stinks at

156
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: the back end. Those those teeings.

157
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 4: You know, no matter what they do, they're not they

158
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 4: can't get out of their own way. I mean they're

159
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 4: trying as best they can, and it's just futility left

160
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 4: and right. I mean, look at the standings as we

161
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 4: as we sit here today. I mean, your knicks can

162
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 4: fall and the Pacers have ten wins, the Wizards have

163
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 4: ten wins, Charlotte got its fifteenth ah, and then you

164
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 4: got the Bucks and whatever it becomes of the Bucks

165
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 4: with their seventeen wins, just outside all of it. No,

166
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 4: but like I saw this come down and immediately just

167
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 4: had to grumble, going, we didn't even get twenty four

168
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 4: hours of mocking you before you walked in. Now, it

169
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 4: would be nice if Baschett maybe drew an extra walk

170
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 4: now and again and was more active on the base paths.

171
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 4: I mean, those are things that we can all wish

172
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 4: and hope for. Those are where you get a little

173
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 4: better off from Kyle Tucker. But when you talk about

174
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 4: the value of a three year deal for a middle

175
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 4: infielder with the All Star pedigree, that you got four

176
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 4: straight MVP votes when one top five finish for him.

177
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 4: So you've got a guy who's really coming into his

178
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 4: own And for Steve Cohen, he was able to put

179
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 4: out his own white puff of smoke.

180
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

181
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: And you know the funny thing is, you want to

182
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: really go I almost gonna call you a this story today,

183
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: but I decided to wait to tell you now. So

00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: so I get up, and I'm starting my day and

00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: So I'm driving, I got my mets hat on and

00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: listen to music. I'm Blair, and I'm excited. I'm stoked.

188
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,480

00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 3: walking around. Yeah, I get out of my way.

190
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: You guys have paid two hundred and forty million dollars

191
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: a Kyle Tucker.

192
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 3: We got a guy just as good for half price. Yeah, yeah,

193
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 3: I get out of my way.

194
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: So I go in to get coffee, and I got

195
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,640

00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: hats around here. And I said, you know, I said,

203
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: I'm actually a White Sox fan. I said, oh, my

204
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: best friend is a white Sox fan. He goes really

205
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: go yeah, he's as miserable as you are. And the

206
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: guy said, but we got that big slugger from Japan.

207
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: I said sure, yeah, and you got the number one

208
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: pick in the draft.

209
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 3: He goes yeah. I said, but your team stinks. You

210
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 3: have nothing to worry about. You're gonna be bad for

211
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 3: a long time. The guy goes, you know, I'm making

212
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 3: you your coffee, right. I said, no, you're right, you're right,

213
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 3: you're right, you're right.

214
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 4: Could end man fun.

215
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: But I tipped him very well, and I tipped him

216
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: before I got the coffee, so he knew about the coffee.

217
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: When he knew that he was getting a good tip

218
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: before he made me stop.

219
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 3: No, no, no, he didn't.

220
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 4: I watch him make it the whole time, right, did

221
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 4: you watch all the time he put like a thumbs

222
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 4: thumb in there, and then you had to decide whether

223
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 4: it was thumbs up or thumbs down depending on how

224
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 4: you spun the coffee cup around.

225
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like this, if you're gonna put

226
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: your thumb in a piping hot cup of coffee.

227
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 4: I I kind of no, No, I didn't mean an

228
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 4: actual much thought that was, you know, Fomart Man Fomart

229
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 4: with the thumb and then he turns it to you

230
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 4: like it's like it's a thumbs down, not like you

231
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 4: have a picture of you know, some some cartoon creature

232
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 4: or something in there.

233
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: But hey, can you put mister Metton there? Can you

234
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: make mister Metta? Do you have that to make that happen?

235
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 5: Ye?

236
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 3: I don't know.

237
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 4: Arista is all over the place, no doubt about it.

238
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 4: But yeah, Bashett sixty three extra base hits here, sixteenth

239
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 4: MVP voting all of that off is what three eleven

240
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 4: batting average two ninety four for his career. So that's

241
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 4: one of those big wins to all of this. But yeah,

242
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 4: we didn't even get twenty four hours of you trying

243
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 4: to rationalize why everything was okay and convincing yourself and

244
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 4: trying to convince the world that it was because look,

245
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 4: I had read off some of Tucker's stuff and you

246
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 4: got some big finishes right these last couple of years

247
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 4: between his run in Houston to the year in Chicago,

248
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 4: even though the second half was injury plagued and a

249
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 4: bit abysmal, But you get the w because they rallied nicely.

250
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 4: They did not fold, and they had something else behind

251
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 4: door number two.

252
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: There was no folding. There was no folding left. Last night,

253
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: I was like, well, what are you gonna do? The Dodgers,

254
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: just the the evil Empire, continue to add and now

255
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: they have like what two billion dollars of salary that

256
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: is due to you know, their entire team, Like how

257
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: are you gonna pay it off? And you know, fans

258
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: across the country are all upset, and I'm going, what

259
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? And now I'm like, yeah, Boba Schet,

260
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: I'll see you in the NLCS, I'll see you this ship.

261
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: One day, I had a beer, I took a shower

262
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: because that's how we do it in the NBA.

263
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 3: And now I'm ready to go again.

264
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 4: But that's just it, right. You start going through and

265
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 4: new your debits and credits like you're you're doing an

266
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 4: accounting class. Uh, Clayton Kershaw comes off the books. Other

267
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 4: guys come off the books, and the Dodgers side he

268
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 4: adds some back and yes, it's it's a very large

269
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 4: number out there. Guess what, they make a lot of revenue.

270
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 4: They've got their own revenue deal that was agreed to

271
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 4: that and a bunch of owners are now mad that

272
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 4: they did, and so that'll get revisited as part of

273
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 4: the inevitable work stoppage or eleventh hour deal that has

274
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 4: to happen to have baseball in twenty twenty seven. But

275
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 4: as it stands shows other teams are ready to go

276
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 4: spend some money because three for one twenty six, while

277
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 4: it ain't what Kyle Tucker got ain't exactly peanuts. Yeah,

278
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 4: but like you like to say, it's not my money.

279
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 4: You no, no, no, But but that's I'm speaking to

280
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 4: the folks that aren't you me Frostburg tight Shirt, Steve

281
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 4: de Sager and others that recognize there's a lot of

282
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 4: money being transacted and you know what, yeah, it is

283
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 4: ours when we pay for parking and for our MLB

284
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 4: TV accounts and everything else. But in the end, if

285
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 4: an owner wants to compete, you can't be the White Sox.

286
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 4: You can't be the Rockies and these teams that take

287
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 4: their one hundred plus million dollars from the national deals

288
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,320

00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: A big football Friday, getting set for the Divisional round tomorrow,

336
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: the National Championship on Monday. We'll pick the National title

337
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: game coming up in about twenty minutes. But before we

338
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: pick our games on Saturday, you know, I was thinking

339
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: about this today.

340
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 3: Uh, looking at the games this weekend.

341
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: Mike, it certainly feels like and again we have to

342
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: wait and see how things play out this weekend, but

343
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: it certainly feels like its last roundup time for two

344
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: NFL teams before you could see some big changes. Now

345
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: if they win this weekend, okay, but like if the

346
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: Rams and the Bills lose this weekend, it kind of

347
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: feels like you're gonna see some big changes.

348
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 3: For both of these teams. Right.

349
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: Like the Rams, we thought they would continue to get better.

350
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: They're kind of been in a holding pattern the last

351
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: couple of years, or they're really really strong, Like I

352
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: still think they're the best team overall in the NFC,

353
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: But are they overwhelming of the best team And they

354
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: got to play in negative fifty degree weather on Sunday

355
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: night in Chicago. I kind of feel like they should

356
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: be more dominant, and it kind of feels like, again

357
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: they're in a holding pattern. Hey with Stafford, what are

358
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: we going to do? Are we going after a new quarterback?

359
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: Are we sticking with him? He's gonna win the MVP?

360
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: Like I feel like if they fall short this week,

361
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: if they lose to the Bears, who are young and

362
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: up and coming, this is a signal to say, hey,

363
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: you know what we you know, we need to do

364
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: something a little bit different. And I feel like the

365
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: same thing for the Bills, where this is not the

366
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: strongest Bills team in the world, but here they are

367
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: on the road. I talked about how maybe the road

368
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: is the best path for them to try to get

369
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: over the top this year.

370
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 3: And it doesn't matter that.

371
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: There's no Mahomes, there's no you know, Burrow, there's no Hey,

372
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: you still have good teams to beat on the road.

373
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 3: All the way through.

374
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: But I feel like they're squeezing every drop out of

375
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: this squad before they make big splashes in the offseason.

376
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: Right their weapons at wide receiver and tight end just

377
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: aren't there, and Josh Allen can't keep carrying the Bills

378
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: like he has been. Dalton Kin Kid hasn't worked out

379
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: to be a star. He's been in and out of

380
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: the lineup, and he's not been the next Travis Kelcey

381
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: Kean Coleman getting bench during games. He's not been great.

382
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: Nobody knows who these receivers are. The defense is not

383
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: quite as good as it has been in years past,

384
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: so I feel like this is like the last hurrah

385
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: for them and for both the Rams and the Bills. Boy,

386
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: they lose this week and it's gonna be okay. We've

387
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: been up at the top of the league for the

388
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: last few years and everything's been great, and we're still

389
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: gonna stay up there because we're still really talented. But boy,

390
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: we need some big moves in this offseason.

391
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll start with the Rams. You know, the big question,

392
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 4: how hurt was Matthew Stafford really this offseason versus I

393
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 4: just don't want to show up until I have to

394
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 4: and you're never gonna convince me it's not the latter,

395
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 4: not to say that he's not banged up and old. Right,

396
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 4: he is thirty eight, but had a fantastic season. They

397
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,719
Speaker 4: got younger these last couple of years. Clearly need some

398
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 4: work in the defensive secondary, but that defensive front can

399
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 4: terrorize you a bit. Special teams needs a bit of

400
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 4: re constitution, the thicker kicker, you get rid of the coordinator.

401
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 4: But you're trying to make sense of that, no question

402
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 4: about it. Offensively, everybody can use an extra offensive lineman.

403
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 4: You look at the way they're currently rostered for next

404
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 4: year in terms of where the money is spent. Stafford

405
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 4: Adams lead the charge. Then you've got two offensive linemen

406
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 4: before you get to Quentin lank Kyron Williams, etc. So

407
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 4: you do have some ability to move things around and

408
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 4: change it up, whether you rework Stafford as you go forward.

409
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 4: He's got about a forty nine million dollar cap hit

410
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 4: on you there. I do agree on the buffalo side

411
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 4: of things, because you got a lot of pending free agents,

412
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 4: particularly on the defense where you've had a top ten unit.

413
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 4: It doesn't look like it week week to week, and

414
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 4: you've seen them get run on on occasion. The only

415
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 4: stat that matters for me is how many points a

416
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 4: game are you giving up? And they've been very good

417
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 4: a year after year under Sean McDermott closing things out.

418
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 4: But to your point on the offense, yeah, Knox and

419
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 4: kincaid have been solid in spots, but not week to week.

420
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 4: Khalil Shakir is fantastic to move the chain six to

421
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 4: eight yards at a pop. That's great long protracted drives.

422
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 4: What usually happens along the way, there's at least a

423
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 4: penalty or two that beset them and force you out

424
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 4: of field goal range, force you out of any kind

425
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 4: of scoring opportunity, and eventually, Josh Allen, yeah, we'll start

426
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 4: seeing and we did a little bit this season, Jason, right,

427
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 4: where is the foot injury? We started doing? You know,

428
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 4: as we've always joked about the the old operation game

429
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 4: of all the things that light up on the big

430
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 4: CBS board when they say, hey, here's your injury tracker,

431
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 4: brought to you by Yeah. Yeah, Eventually, Josh Allen, you're

432
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 4: gonna see a little bit more of a pullback there,

433
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 4: even on the tush push and whatever things that they've done.

434
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 4: The last couple of weeks. He certainly doesn't look comfortable

435
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 4: doing it. He's making it work, but he's not getting

436
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 4: to the edge. He's not taking over games with his

437
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 4: legs as he has done in years past. Right in

438
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 4: the mirror image of his classmate in the twenty eighteen draft,

439
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson. Two guys that after eight years, all right,

440
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 4: it's the next evolution.

441
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 3: What do you need to do to do that?

442
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 4: Stop laughing and chuckling it up when you go on

443
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 4: a radio spot, mister buffalo GM and actually go get

444
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 4: him some damn wide receivers. I love Brandon Cooks as

445
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 4: much as the next guy, but we you know, like

446
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 4: when we talk with Todd Furman yesterday, he made the

447
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 4: one liner about Keon Coleman. That was a guy that

448
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 4: they sat down multiple times for being a I don't

449
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 4: even know what to say. You know, what term do

450
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 4: you want to throw on it. Whether he's just know,

451
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 4: a guy that couldn't learn the playbook, a guy didn't

452
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 4: show up on time. We never got a full answer,

453
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 4: but he was a healthy scratch multiple times. Now they're

454
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 4: desperate and and sending up flares like they're trying to

455
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 4: get a rescue boat on Jurassic Park.

456
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: Well, you need the flares. I mean, you don't want

457
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: the dinosaurs to see him. You gotta be able to

458
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: get rescued. You gotta you gotta hear you, gotta guy

459
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: get out there. To Richard Attenborough, he's gotta be able.

460
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 3: To make the play.

461
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 4: Come on you, sir, Richard Attenborough in Yeah, yeah, And.

462
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: I do want to say because I heard you say somebody,

463
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: but I believe you misspoke. And you know, I don't

464
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: like to correct you. But when you said, hey, sometimes

465
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 1: there's penalties that beset the bills, I think you meant

466
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: to say there are penalties that beshet the bills.

467
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 3: I think that's what you had to say that.

468
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're not sitting next to me right now.

469
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 3: You mean that's gonna be shit everybody. It's gonna be

470
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 3: shut the bills, bes shut the ball.

471
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 4: Uh. You know his old man was one of my

472
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 4: favorite players ever, by the way. Yeah, that lineup and Collado,

473
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 4: they were fantastic.

474
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: Well, the thing is that with signing Bobashett, Dante is

475
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: now gonna hit seventh and play left field. Oh sweet,

476
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: I know if you know that, it's we're getting both

477
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: of them and he's gonna play left.

478
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 4: He did not realize it was a tag team bout.

479
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he's sixty, so I'm just hoping to

480
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: get a hundred games out of him. But he's gonna play.

481
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: He's gonna play left field. Okay, Well we'll take a

482
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: look at that. I mean, we'll see what the over

483
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: under is. Maybe he can play a little short center field.

484
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 4: I don't know. I mean maybe maybe we keep talking, Hey,

485
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 4: we keep talking about the rules of the game changing,

486
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 4: and maybe they could just sneak a guy out there

487
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 4: without people knowing.

488
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: Hey, wait a minute, I think you have ten on

489
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: the field. What are you talking about? No, no, hey, quick,

490
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: stand behind stand behind that guy. Oh what are you

491
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,719
Speaker 1: talking Now, I know what you're talking about. We only

492
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: are right.

493
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 4: It looked like he's got a cloak of invisibility until

494
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 4: he runs to chase down a fly ball.

495
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: That guy didn't move to catch that pop up that

496
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: fell in the middle of short center field. Now I

497
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: know what you're talking about, man, I have no idea.

498
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: Uh now, So, speaking of the Bills, let's give you

499
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: picks for this weekend. Let's start with Saturday's games Buffalo

500
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 1: and Denver. This to me honestly, was the hardest game

501
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: to pick, because, like I said, I like the fact

502
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: the Bills are on the on the road.

503
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 3: It may be the best thing for them.

504
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's the best player left in the playoffs, and

505
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: and and clearly this is going to be a game

506
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: with Buffalo type weather. And you know the Bills have

507
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: shown you they can run the football. However, two things.

508
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: Number One, I picked Denver to go to the AFC

509
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: Championship game in the preseason, so I'm not gonna ditch

510
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: the mal And two, I think people are forgetting how

511
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: good Denver is just because they didn't play last week.

512
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 3: There's a reason why they're the number one seed in

513
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 3: the AFC. Right. The defense is lights out. It's a

514
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 3: top three defense.

515
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: Right, take your pick there between after the Texans, between

516
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: the Broncos and the Seahawks. You throw the Rams in

517
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: there too. Even as opportunistic as the Bears defense is

518
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: not quite the shutdown defense that these other teams are,

519
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: but the way they get turnovers, Like, people forget this

520
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: is how good Denver is. Right, Denver is a bad

521
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: matchup for the Buffalo offense. I know that everybody wants

522
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: to see Josh Allen win and they want but I

523
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: think wanting a storyline to happen and it actually happening

524
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 1: are two different things. In a matchup of one great

525
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: player against a great team, I'll always take the great team,

526
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: especially since the Bills have not shown they can consistently

527
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: run the football when they have to. They have a

528
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: game where, wow, they look unstoppable because Josh Allen has

529
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: a big game and James Cook goes for one and

530
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: two touchdowns and it's man, they don't even need to

531
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: throw the football once. Then they have many weeks where

532
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 1: it's how does James Cook have thirteen carries for twenty

533
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: nine yards? What is happening here? Denver is at home.

534
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: They're gonna find enough way Buffalo trouble running the football.

535
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's not enough. Denver's the better team everywhere. I'll

536
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: take the Broncos. In a theme for this weekend, I

537
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: like the under in just about every single game. I'll

538
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: take the Broncos twenty four to seventeen.

539
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

540
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 4: My big curiosity is how Buffalo comes out in attacks

541
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 4: because they're missing several members in that secondary. Right, Poyers

542
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 4: out and you just go down the line there's a

543
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 4: lot of red ink on that injury report and missing

544
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,719
Speaker 4: bodies for the Bills. That said, I'm not the biggest

545
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 4: fan of the Denver offense, and we've certainly seen them

546
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 4: sputter at times. It's a lot of wishyguaning hoping. You know,

547
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 4: I am the original Josh Allen apologist, long before Hailey

548
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 4: Steinfeld converted from being a Broncos fan. You saw that

549
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 4: meme this week and all of those things that roll

550
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 4: up into it. It's just a can they make one

551
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 4: more play? Denver on the year minus three in turnover

552
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 4: differential Buffalo plus one, But do they have enough receivers

553
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 4: to make a play and can you find separation against

554
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 4: that Buffalo against their wings right when you're talking about

555
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 4: certain and what they bring to bear in the secondary. So,

556
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 4: as much as it pains me to say it, Denver

557
00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 4: wins this one. It's a low scoring game though. Twenty thirteen, your.

558
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: Final Seahawks and the forty nine ers. Now, the Seahawks

559
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: have all said they are optimistic. They hope Sam Donald plays.

560
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: There's been nothing in the last couple of days that

561
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: has indicated that Donald is not going to play. Just

562
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,719
Speaker 1: think about this two years ago. If I said, hey,

563
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 1: one of the big the biggest injury we're talking about

564
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: for the playoffs is going to be.

565
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 3: Will Sam Darnald play or not?

566
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 4: Right?

567
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 3: Okay, you're crazy, No, this is the NFL.

568
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter because the Seahawks defense when they played

569
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: the Niners a couple of weeks ago, I feared for

570
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 1: brock Perdy's life in the fourth quarter. It was every

571
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: single play was they are teeing off on him. The

572
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers just don't have the horses right Kittle

573
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: out for the year. It's basically Christian McCaffrey and good luck.

574
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: They don't need Donald to play great. They will run

575
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: the football well enough, the offense will eventually get into

576
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: groove at home, their defense will run the day and

577
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: I'll take the Seahawks by double digits. I'll take them

578
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: by two touchdowns in this game, twenty seven to thirteen,

579
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: and the fraudulent Sam Francisco forty nine Ers finally go home.

580
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, part of me is hating my just for picking

581
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 4: against Allen and company, because you know, I have a

582
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 4: liking problem with Sean Payton. I don't and all of that,

583
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 4: But for this particular game that week, eighteen really just

584
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 4: stands out right because we have very few of those

585
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 4: games that really mattered. And this was still for the path, right,

586
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 4: you heard it all week. Hey, they have the opportunity

587
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 4: to run all the way playing at home there in

588
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 4: Santa Clara, and then they got absolutely dominated. We talk

589
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 4: about swarm tackling, and we've joked about, hey, let's superimpose

590
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 4: some of the National Geographic and Nature films over the

591
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 4: top as to how those defenders went after San Francisco players.

592
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 4: The thing for me is George Kittle's absence, not just

593
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 4: as a receiver but as a blocker in the run game.

594
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 4: And even if Williams is good to go and you

595
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 4: can get Pierce all back, on some degree, you're not

596
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 4: there for Fred Warner, I know, And people are trying

597
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 4: to reuse that as a rallying he could be back

598
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 4: the following week. Well he's not there, you know, and

599
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 4: then the hey, this guy's spirit only gets you so far.

600
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 4: So fearing the swarming of the Seahawks, Look they can

601
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 4: go get Sam now he and Brock Perdy. Who's gonna

602
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 4: make more mistakes? Who's gonna put the ball in harm's

603
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 4: way more frequently? I think is the big mantra here?

604
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 4: Can can they find DeMarcus Robinson? Is he gonna be

605
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 4: wide open as he was a couple of times last

606
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 4: week and weaving his way down through a secondary against Philadelphia?

607
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 4: The answer is probably not quite as easily here. I

608
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 4: would love to do nothing more than to see an

609
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 4: upset and create some chaos here, but I just can't

610
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 4: see it. The domination won't be there though. San Francisco

611
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 4: will hang around. Robert Salo'll have some special tricks for

612
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 4: your guys. Sam Darnold and he's got a bleak, So

613
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 4: who knows. You might see Drew Locke before it's all done.

614
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: At it An Sali he's gonna be doing interviews to

615
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: be a head coach on the sideline during the game.

616
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: Come on, man, he's Hey, don't worry about the jet stuff.

617
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: Don't ask me about that. Just hey, just look at

618
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: what I've done with the forty nine ers.

619
00:28:58,640 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 3: I could be great.

620
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 4: Hey, I go back a week ago, Remember how well

621
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 4: Jesse Minter when he was interviewing from the sideline. His

622
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 4: defense came up big. Hey, he did a great job.

623
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 4: The offense did nothing. But what am I gonna do?

624
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 3: Exit out about a Fresca exit Swallen' Dome.

625
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: So there's our picks for Saturday, Broncos, Bill Seahawks, forty

626
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:17,400

Speaker 3: We got more coming up in ninety seconds.

628
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: But first time, how to find out what's trending in

629
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: the wide world of sports From a guy who's been

630
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: called the Bobaschett of Fox Sports.

631
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 3: Radio because he makes just as much money as he does.

632
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 3: It's Steve Desteger.

633
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 6: I have started just many games as third base as

634
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 6: bomashett has. Just for the record, I think there was

635
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 6: a great item because they I was reading that Jorge

636
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 6: Polanco might be starting at first. He has one career

637
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 6: game at first base. Bobaschetz literally never played at third

638
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 6: base major or minor leagues in his career. Those could

639
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 6: be the opening day guys at the corners. So the

640
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 6: great Sarah Langs points out that in the last one

641
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 6: hundred years, only one team has started infielders on opening

642
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 6: day with that little experience at those positions, and that

643
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 6: was the nineteen forty eight Dodgers with Jackie Robinson at

644
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 6: second Billy Cox at third. But yes, shortstop Bo Baschett

648
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,880

772
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,040

774
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 3: And what happened.

775
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: The Giants were able to control the clock, they were

776
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: able to make enough plays, and they squeak by when Scott.

777
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 3: Norwoods field goal attempt goes wide.

778
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,479
Speaker 1: It's weird and it's hard for me because I feel

779
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 1: like a lot of people are jumping the fence on

780
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: this and jumping away from Indian But I'll put my

781
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: money where my mouth is.

782
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 3: When we saw Miami win, we told you how they

783
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 3: could beat Indiana.

784
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: Look, this defense is fast and it's physical, and Indiana

785
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: has been a great front running team all year long.

786
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: What happens when they get punched in the mouth. They've

787
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: not had a ton of adversity. They've been able to

788
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: especially coming off a game last week where they just

789
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: rolled out and won by sixty. So it's gonna be

790
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more difficult because it's gonna be tougher

791
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: from the jump. Miami's defense is gonna hit for Nano Mendoza.

792
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: It's gonna make them uncomfortable. And offensively, what does Miami

793
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 1: do the best, But you've seen him in the playoffs

794
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 1: over the course of the season, those thirteen plays sixty

795
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: five yard eight and a half minute drives and take

796
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: up most of a quarter and result in a touchdown

797
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: or a fieldal but mainly keeping the offense off the field.

798
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: I will take Miami an upset that's not quite an upset.

799
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,479
Speaker 1: They win it twenty three seventeen, and again, I feel

800
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 1: like it's gonna be one of those all time great

801
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: games with big defensive plays. We're talking about defensive stands,

802
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 1: Mendoza standing up and trying to throw Indiana back in

803
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,399
Speaker 1: it right, big trick plays. Signetty runs a trick play,

804
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: but Miami has enough. And we're talking about Mario Crystal

805
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 1: Ball and this tenth ranight Miami Hurricanes team winning the

806
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: national titles.

807
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 4: Forty seven and a half is the total. It would

808
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 4: be a huge upset because right now Indiana is favored

809
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 4: by eight and a half points. You're get in for this,

810
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 4: soare if you want to go and buy yourself a

811
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 4: ticket thirty nine eighty five get in. Yeah, that's right,

812
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 4: But you know what, you only get there once in

813
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 4: theory if you're either of these squads. But you know,

814
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 4: we talked about Miami and their road and getting in

815
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:50,240
Speaker 4: and all the crying that went on for them along

816
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 4: the way, you know, from the other schools that were

817
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 4: left out, you know what, And here they are. They

818
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 4: have their chance to really punch everybody in the mouth.

819
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 4: And I look at the defense and that's the curiosity

820
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 4: for me. But I picked Indiana. That's one thing I

821
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 4: had still in the bracket. They're smith so I'm not

822
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 4: going away from it. I'm gonna take Indiana to win

823
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 4: thirty one to twenty four. Miami does land inside that

824
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 4: eight and a half, but the defense does get pressure

825
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 4: on Mendoza, creates a little bit of chaos, and I

826
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 4: think daily missing for Indiana will actually come back on

827
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 4: them a little bit as they have to change up

828
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 4: their defensive rotations. Mind also, Miami missing one of their

829
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 4: cornerbacks for a half because of a targeting penalty back

830
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 4: against Oregon.

831
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: So now, but the big thing is, does does Kurt

832
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: Signetti have Chipotle before, during, or after the game.

833
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 4: Oh, I think all three? I think three? Okay, yeah,

834
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 4: well it is a national champion, nuts.

835
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: Okay, it is the national title. If you're gonna do

836
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: it three times in a day, that's certainly the day

837
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: to do it.

838
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 4: You rally in in in big form because you wanna

839
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 4: you wanna flex.

840
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: Uh you know, I this is I know that it's

841
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: an eight and a half point spread, but this is

842
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: the difference between the number one team in the country

843
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 1: the number ten team in college football. This is not

844
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: like college basketball, right, Like, that's the one thing I

845
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: feel like, Okay, we're we're losing a little bit with

846
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,280
Speaker 1: what we think the seedings are. There's no difference between

847
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: ten and four, between six and three, right, But it

848
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: seems like a lot because that's what we're used to.

849
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: And that's why I alady see this upset eight and

850
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: a half points. Yeah, it's that's not kind of how

851
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: it is when you look at a one seed versus

852
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: a ten seed, Like it's you know, we're in the

853
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: Elite eight, and boy can the ten seed pull a

854
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: big upset?

855
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 4: Wow? But this would be monumental. Here you're plus eight

856
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,439
Speaker 4: and a half smith you're going big.

857
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: So we got Pete Futech coming up in a half

858
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: hour to give us his perspective of the National title game,

859
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 1: and and Dante More going back to school. But coming
