And then the fifth was 40 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 4: interesting Jayden Daniels, because you're like, oh, okay, rookie year 41 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 4: was spectacular, but rookie, some of these other guys got 42 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 4: some longevity in the game. And at nine was where 43 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 4: it got interesting because it was that's where you found 44 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 4: the reigning Super Bowl champion quarterback Jalen Hurts at number nine. 45 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 4: And then of course you have Nick Sirianni come out 46 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 4: and I'm just gonna paraphrase f him basically say, hey, 47 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 4: it's a joke that he's here. At that low. It's 48 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 4: a joke kind of how he's perceived his league. He's 49 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 4: done enough, is a joke that people kind of criticize 50 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 4: what we ask of him for this team. 51 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 3: They use that against him. 52 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 4: So when you have that polling, you have that Nick 53 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 4: Airianni sticking up for his guy. Where do you come 54 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 4: out on Jalen Hurts as we sit here, Uh, you know, 55 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 4: a couple of months away from this upcoming season. 56 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 5: Well, I think it's the nuanced conversation. And that's why 57 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,839 Speaker 5: I think Nick Gianni has no chance of being able 58 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 5: to do it. And I get you paraphrase what he 59 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,119 Speaker 5: did say, because you can't say what he actually said 60 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 5: over the radio, you know, but you know the idea 61 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 5: that Nick Gianni would swear about that shot. That's right, 62 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 5: that's Nick being now that you've won, good luck. You 63 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 5: know that. That's all we'll see going forward. But the 64 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 5: thing is like, if I'm doing an expansion drag and 65 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 5: I has a number one overall pick, I'm picking a 66 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 5: lot of players before I get to Jalen Hurts. 67 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 3: I'm picking a lot of quarterbacks before I get to 68 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts. 69 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 5: However, that does not mean when Nick Sirianni is saying 70 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 5: in this moment is untrue. What they ask him to do. 71 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 5: He executes at an incredibly high level. I you know, 72 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 5: and the tush push, that's a real thing. I can't 73 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 5: stand it personally. I don't think it's football. But I 74 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 5: clearly am on the losing end of this battle. And 75 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 5: you know why, because the team that keeps running it 76 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 5: wins the super Bowl. 77 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 3: And you know what, we'll just have him doing it. 78 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 5: You know, I just wait for the worst pacingario and 79 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 5: I'll just point to te level. 80 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 3: I told you so. 81 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 5: But until then, I have to entertain this conversation because 82 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 5: it is a web. 83 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 3: It ain't going nowhere. 84 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 5: It's not going anywhere despite all the votes to the 85 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 5: contrary or for a positive. So but if you just 86 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 5: evaluate just at the quote unquote playing of the quarterback position, 87 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 5: and it's not a knock to Jalen hurts his ability 88 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 5: or you know, it's just there are guys that are 89 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 5: just flatly better than him at the things that I 90 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 5: think you ask a quarterback to do on a consistent basis. Now, 91 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 5: I think he makes up for some of those things 92 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 5: in like leadership and being steady. 93 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 3: I think the fact that Nick Sirianni. 94 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 5: Has so much success as a coach that kind of 95 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 5: goes off the hinges at times is because Jalen Hurts 96 00:03:58,960 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 5: is his quarterback. 97 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 3: Right. 98 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 5: I think that you when when you got your wide 99 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 5: receiver reading self help books and your coach doing the 100 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 5: doing fly eagles slide to the fans, somebody's got to 101 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 5: be the adult in the room. And I think Jalen 102 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 5: Hurts does that and does the great job for that organization. 103 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 5: So ninth best to me, if I'm Nick Sirianna, I'm saying, look, 104 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 5: you know what, he was first best at the end 105 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 5: of the year, and that's where we're gonna go with that. Right, 106 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 5: I wouldn't be going and addressed and all of this 107 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 5: because it's like who at some point you protest too 108 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 5: much because you know what we're saying is true. Go 109 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 5: back to them when he throws over the Look at 110 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 5: Jalen hurts numbers. When he throws over thirty times, they 111 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 5: two and two. They don't win, you know what I'm saying. 112 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 5: They go back to last year when they scale him 113 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 5: back and they run the ball more, they win more consistently, 114 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 5: and that, you know, is it on knock to Jalen Hurts. Whatever, 115 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 5: if you want to call it that or not, that's 116 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 5: just what it is. But the fact of the matter 117 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 5: is two summers ago we were talking about nobody wants 118 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 5: to pay a running back. That next summer it's sa 119 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 5: Barkley went insane through the Eagles offense at ward of 120 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 5: a Super Bowl. And so if you're telling me that 121 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 5: what is it you have the best everything? 122 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 3: I mean, that's how you would feel. 123 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 4: I'm sure if you ask some best offensive line, best 124 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 4: defensive line, best running back, and in his mind best quarterback, 125 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 4: clearly he's gonna feel that way. But I get that 126 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 4: a couple So you mentioned a couple of things. Let 127 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 4: me break it down like this. I said this yesterday, 128 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts. If we're gonna be equal, then he does 129 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 4: deserve a bit more praise or less disrespect. 130 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 3: Here's what I mean. 131 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 4: If you ask who's played the best quarterbacking, who's been 132 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 4: quarterbacking the best, who's been owning the position, it has 133 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 4: not been Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes has been the best 134 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 4: of a couple of things. Patrick Mahomes has been the 135 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 4: best at third down, He's had the best QBR with 136 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 4: that and he also had the best when it came percentage. 137 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 4: Think it's fifty three percent completion percentage on our first downs. 138 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 4: On third down, he makes those passes. So ultimately, what 139 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 4: he's saying is when we need it done, he gets 140 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 4: it done. When we need win, he gets a win. 141 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 4: And to the tune of despite what Rob Parker will 142 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 4: say fifteen and two, to the tune of getting back 143 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 4: to the super Bowl win, everyone want to say, Man, 144 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 4: something's off. They're not winning at a hot clip or 145 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 4: blowing people out. He doesn't look great. He just gets 146 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 4: to the super Bowl. So if we're putting all of 147 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 4: that on him as far as winning, and that's why 148 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 4: I believe he's still number one. You believe it even 149 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 4: though Lamar Jackson's played incredibly better football, Josh Allen's played 150 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 4: better football, Joe Burrows played better football over the last 151 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 4: couple of seasons. You just had that faith in him. Then, 152 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 4: to me, we also have to put it on Jalen 153 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 4: Hurts as well. I've been critical of him. He's not 154 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 4: the guy necessarily. Do you think you'd want an a 155 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 4: duel or a shootout? However, if what we ultimately great 156 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 4: quarterbacks by his wins, the brother gets wins to the 157 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 4: tune of six and three in the playoffs. You saw 158 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 4: what he'd done in the super bowls. Multiple super bowls, 159 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 4: he won, one lost, one outplayed Mahomes, and the one 160 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,359 Speaker 4: he lost just outperformed him again in the one that 161 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 4: he won. And he's played very well twenty touchdowns, three 162 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 4: interceptions in the playoff runs for him. He continues to 163 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 4: be dynamic at running the football. The best short yard 164 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 4: is runner in football. Three seasons of ten touchdowns and 165 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 4: more shut. 166 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 5: I can't stand that you can say that in Nippy 167 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 5: a fact because of this toush push foolishness. 168 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 3: But here's the student I feel. I feel terrible for 169 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 3: every running quarterback before you. 170 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 4: Here's the thing. He's the one doing it. Everybody's got 171 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 4: a chance. Thirty one other teams. Only one other team 172 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 4: is semi proficient at it in the Bills, and that 173 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 4: ended up costing them in the postseason trying to do 174 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 4: it a couple of times. 175 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 3: So he does that. 176 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 4: Well, you mentioned another thing, leadership. When he puts on them, 177 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 4: Dad Khakis, you know what time it is. He's about business. 178 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 4: Even when they have disgrunt, you know, just runner receivers 179 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 4: or they're getting into it. Him and aj Brown, they 180 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 4: find a worright way to work through it. He always 181 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 4: says the right thing, and that's a part of that position, 182 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 4: as you know, coming up there, despite what just happened 183 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 4: in the locker room. 184 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 3: When I come out there. 185 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 4: Answering questions, boom ba boom, diffusing things, putting out fires. 186 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 4: So we do have to put more respect on his 187 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 4: name now when it comes down to rankings. Look, people 188 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 4: are also gonna look at talent. I believe if you 189 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 4: just watched them, you fail from ours. You knew football 190 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 4: and you watch it, you would say, oh, that guy 191 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 4: Jaydon Dan was more talented, Joe Borrows more talented, Patrick Holmes, 192 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson, And I think that's where the issue comes 193 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 4: with him. But if it comes, if we're gonna say ultimately, 194 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 4: Terry Bradshaw is highly respected and he heralded because he 195 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 4: has four Super Bowl rings because all he ThReD to 196 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 4: do it was win so much. He wasn't the best 197 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 4: arm talent, He wasn't the guy when you think of 198 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 4: just passing, but he won. He was perfect for that team, 199 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 4: for the Steelers of the seventies. So that's and that 200 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 4: is what Jalen Hurts. He's perfect for this team that 201 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 4: wants to beat you up, run the ball, stop the run, 202 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 4: and find ways to win games. 203 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 3: He's perfect for this team. 204 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 4: My last point, Martin, you look at a guy like 205 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,959 Speaker 4: Tom Brady, Well, there's been iterations of him. He was 206 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 4: dink and dunk dincon dunk managed the game West win. 207 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 4: Then he became I can this thing out when you 208 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 4: need you for years and to me, Jalen Hurts right now, 209 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 4: maybe he can start airing it out when he needs to, 210 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 4: But right now, this is what I am. This is 211 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 4: what I need to be, to the tune of way 212 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 4: more wins than the guys in the posty than y'all 213 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 4: keep putting ahead of me, except for Patrick Mahomes. 214 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 5: But so also, but part of the reason why there's 215 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 5: way more wins in the postseason is because he does 216 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 5: not have to play Patrick Mahomes, nor Lamar Jackson, nor 217 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 5: Josh Allen. Part of the reason why Patrick Mahomes is 218 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 5: still number one on this list is because even though 219 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 5: they had better regular seasons, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, 220 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 5: you name it, every time they stepped into the kingdom, 221 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 5: the king came out on top undred percent and the 222 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 5: King's king. 223 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 3: Now here's the thing. I'm willing to walk to this, 224 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 3: to walk to this. Let's see if we can meet 225 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 3: in the middle. 226 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 5: Here I have Mahomes still is the number one guy, 227 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 5: but I am opening up to the top four or 228 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 5: five to Now it is now a the race is 229 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 5: not She is not such a prohibitive favorite that it 230 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 5: is like we are talking about him and everybody else. 231 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 5: Like when Lebron was at the top of his game, 232 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 5: we were talking about Lebron and the rest through the league. 233 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 5: When Jordan was at the top VISI game, were talking 234 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 5: about Jordan and the rest of the league. And we 235 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 5: saw guys get MVP of trophies. We saw guys get 236 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 5: you know, multiple MVP trophies, And while still acknowledging the 237 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 5: fact that Jordan or Lebron was the best player, you know, 238 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 5: year in year out, that's what this is. 239 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 4: To me, That's what this is. What you don't think 240 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 4: so you know what I'm saying, No, you're right, but 241 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 4: I'm saying that's crazy. That Mike was sitting there, Mike 242 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 4: and and we were like, you know what, boy, that 243 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 4: David Robinson, that Carl Malone that and Mike Sait the 244 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 4: like and you know what, and if Mahomes runs off 245 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 4: two of the next three Super Bowls and it's you know, 246 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 4: that's comparable with might sit back and look, you know what, 247 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 4: that was really dumb that conversation we had on man 248 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 4: July fifteenth. 249 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,719 Speaker 5: You're really looking for something to talk about. Huh.

Well, about a couple days later, 284 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 7: Rob Manfred turned down one on its head, and no 285 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 7: one even cares about Clayton Ursch anymore because Brewers rookie 286 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 7: pitcher Jacob Mizerowski, who has only pitched in five MLB games, 287 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 7: so far in his young career, was added as a 288 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 7: replacement All Star pitcher for the National League, and he 289 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 7: got a lot of people up in arms, so much 290 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 7: so that several Philadelphia Phillies players went on record. This 291 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 7: was not anonymous sourcing, This was not let me tell 292 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 7: a reporter, who's gonna tell someone else. No, they said 293 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 7: themselves that they had a problem with it. Trey Turner 294 00:12:55,120 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 7: on MIZ getting in, what a joke, that's effing terrible Nicks. 295 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 7: It's turning into the Savannah bananas. 296 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 5: Right. 297 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 7: So it's been a big thing across baseball. So last night, so. 298 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 5: A quick point of order, because is there any reason 299 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 5: why it's just Philly's talking out that the Philly gets 300 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 5: snubbed for this. 301 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 7: Well, they had two guys who they believe guy, so 302 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 7: they were the ones who were most public about it. 303 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 7: So last night MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred was asked about 304 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 7: it because it is a controversial decision, and he said, 305 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 7: quote the excitement that was going to be generated the 306 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 7: fanagers and seeing this guy, you know, it's something that 307 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 7: we couldn't ignore. And he added later, do I want 308 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 7: to make it the norm where guy's only pitching five 309 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 7: games in or not. I don't, but I believe it 310 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 7: was the right decision here given where we are. 311 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 3: All right, this is an easy one for me. 312 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 4: Rob Manfred is in his sug Night death Row era. 313 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 4: This is where if you recall, Yo, you don't want 314 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 4: to you want this, you want that, come to death Row, 315 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 4: come to MLB.

And I'm 344 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 4: not saying you don't respect an honor the past. Absolutely 345 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 4: you do that, but you don't solely do that. And 346 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 4: baseball was solely living in the past. So I think 347 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 4: Rob Manford is feeling himself that some of the decisions 348 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 4: he has made have worked made the game more popular. 349 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 3: Some of he kind of just looked into. 350 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 4: Yankees Dodger's first time ainy one you fell into that 351 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 4: ended up being compelling series. You got show, Hey, you 352 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 4: got Aaron Judge. You got all these big names, you 353 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 4: got all these all stars that just fell in his lap. 354 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 4: So I think he's continuing with the motim the momentum. 355 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 4: So I think this is a decision. I like what 356 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 4: he said there. He said, Look, I'm gonna keep it real. 357 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 4: This is about the fact that this kid throws one 358 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 4: hundred and three hundred and four miles per hour. People 359 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 4: want to see it. I might not do it again. 360 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 4: I hope I don't have to. And mind you, he 361 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 4: made them an offer they shouldn't reviews. He asked a 362 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 4: couple of the pictures Martin, He said, hey, are you 363 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 4: gonna guarantee me? 364 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 3: Anni? He said, well, no, I just pitched on Sunday. 365 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 3: I don't think I'll ever then get. 366 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 4: Out you're gonna do it guarantee any Well, no, I 367 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 4: don't want to guarantee because I just don't. 368 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 3: Then you ain't pitching. 369 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 4: And so he is in his death row mob Boss 370 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 4: the Godfather Air right now doing what he believes is 371 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 4: best for the game, trying to raise the platform of 372 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 4: the game, make the game hit relevant. And I'm not 373 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 4: mad at him because part of that is you're gonna 374 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 4: make mistakes. Part of that is you're not gonna always 375 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 4: get it right, but at least you're trying, and baseball 376 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 4: becomes stagnant for some time, hadn't tried things, wasn't switching 377 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 4: it up. So I'm not mad at sug Manfred right 378 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 4: now as he's trying to do some things. 379 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 5: The only beef I have with this for real, I 380 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 5: don't have problem with Suarez and Sanchez missing because to 381 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 5: go on like for the Phillies, whole team. 382 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 3: Damn near to go on record. I was like, wait, 383 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 3: let me go to that. The Ranger Suarez. 384 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 5: We actually got in a big argument two weeks ago 385 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 5: on these air because I was like, he leads the 386 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 5: major League in era. Doesn't qualify he didn't qualify because 387 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 5: I was like, no, I just saw it. 388 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 3: He has a two ERA. He's like, he's one of 389 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 3: the top five. 390 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 5: Didn't qualify, not enough, not enough innings pitch to qualify. 391 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 5: And it ended up being a big blowout between me 392 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 5: and Muncie. 393 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 3: Uh. It was. It was long. 394 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 5: Past Christopher Sanchez. He pitched Star this weekend. He wasn't 395 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 5: gonna be available. So if you're not going to be 396 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 5: available and you just want to have like the all 397 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 5: Star the All Star ceremonial. All right, cool, whatever, but 398 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 5: you gotta be available to go. My beef with this 399 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 5: is like I have a problem with Jacob Minzerowski over 400 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 5: Won Soto, not over Rangers Suarez, Like I'm I think 401 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 5: you've won Soto should be an All Star with the 402 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 5: first half that he's having. 403 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 3: I know it started out slow. 404 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 5: But also the and the final point in the first 405 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 5: point to you when I was talking about this, we 406 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 5: have already made it is already established in baseball. These 407 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 5: are not the best sixty players. There's one representative from 408 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 5: every team. There's all this so like like Hobby Bias 409 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 5: is a center fielder for the crazy Like is he that? No, 410 00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 5: he's not to be like soh some things about there 411 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 5: going to be a little off year to year, some 412 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 5: things about this would be a little weird year to year. 413 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 5: And if it ends up that Paul Skins has five 414 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 5: All Star Games when he really only had three good 415 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 5: years or something like that, three years of winning, I'm 416 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 5: not gonna cry about it. If it ends up to 417 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 5: Jacob Minzrawski ends up being the Brewers All Star for 418 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 5: the next two years and the Brewers are a five 419 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 5: hundred team in the Nano Central. I'm not gonna cry 420 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 5: about that because to me, you're not the chances that 421 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 5: the Colorado Rockies have one of the best sixty players 422 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 5: in baseball right now, hard. 423 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 3: Me to believe. Heard of the sixty year Can they 424 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 3: get sixty wins? 425 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,360 Speaker 5: I'll say, if you're doing our filling out the All 426 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 5: Star roster, hards me to believe. 427 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 3: Absolutely. And I want to go up to Wa Soto. 428 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 3: I agree. 429 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 4: We sat here, I don't know a week week and 430 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 4: a half ago, me and Rob talking about that, and 431 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 4: I said, that's the trouble that comes with the money, 432 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 4: because immediately right off the bat you mentioned he started 433 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 4: off slowly. He wasn't where you think he'd because immediately 434 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 4: we equate it to money. And he had an amazing June, 435 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 4: was probably one of the best players, and he won 436 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 4: the Player of the Month for June. And then you 437 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 4: can still go, well he started off slow, or well 438 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 4: he's not doing he should be number one, number two, 439 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 4: number three, and the stats because you just simply equated 440 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 4: to the money. So Juan Soto absolutely should have been 441 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 4: an All Star. And I think moving forward, he's gonna 442 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 4: have to keep that in mind. That that's the responsibility. 443 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 4: That's the challenges I should say that comes when you sign, 444 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 4: you know, three quarters of a billion dollar deal, is 445 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 4: that the expectations are crazy and you kind of have 446 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 4: those moments where maybe you shouldn't have talked about missing 447 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 4: your old boo, talking about, you know, missing playing with 448 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 4: the Yankees and Judge and Will is not the same. 449 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 3: I'm not playing with them, but I'm not to cut 450 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 3: you off. Maybe I'm just too big of a football fan. 451 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 5: I listen what to talk about in the media and 452 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 5: what you do on the diamond. 453 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 3: Those are two different things to me. 454 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 5: You want to be immy nice to be the number 455 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 5: MVP candidate that I can rock with you Aaron Rodgers, 456 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 5: But like Juan Soto, only seven players in Major League 457 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 5: Baseball history to the All Star Break recorded at least 458 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 5: twenty fo runs, seven walks, fifteen doubles, and ten stolen bases. 459 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 5: Seven players in a history of baseball, and you're telling 460 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 5: me that the guy that's pitched five and made five 461 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 5: starts or made five appearances is what we're doing. 462 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 3: That's crazy. 463 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 4: But so the first half of that I'll reply with 464 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,640 Speaker 4: that's why I go back to the fan perception of 465 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 4: money and what you're doing, especially when you have a 466 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 4: slow start, right, because now you've been covering sports long 467 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 4: enough to know this is one of the worst things 468 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 4: about sports, but it's kind of a fact if you 469 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 4: do something wrong or just this is how you are. 470 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 3: We kind of perceived that forever for you. 471 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 4: For instance, Lebron didn't take some shots or missed a 472 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 4: shot kind of early on its clutch. 473 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 3: Then he went want to be very clutch. 474 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 4: But in our minds, Lebron ain't clutch, right because those 475 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 4: first few times he either missed it or he passed 476 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 4: it up or he didn't shoot it, and we wanted 477 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 4: to do so permanently. In our mind, Lebron ain't clutch, 478 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 4: and it happens all the time. So I think people 479 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 4: want so to aut this money starts off slowly, teams 480 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 4: not winning a b and I think people they're not 481 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 4: doing what we do, coming in for a living, checking 482 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 4: the stats, checking this, We're we're gonna talk about having meetings, 483 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,719 Speaker 4: you know, preparing for a show. I think they're like, 484 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 4: I mean, I know he's been better, but he ain't 485 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 4: been that good, And I think that just becomes the 486 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 4: perception he ain't worth all that money. 487 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 5: You want to talk about perception, I'm sorry, I don't 488 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 5: know if I just saw this back to back plays 489 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 5: in this game, Caitlyn Clark got the ball stolen from 490 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 5: her and then turned over the next possession, shot a 491 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 5: three over a double team, and it just popped. She 492 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 5: is one for twenty nine on three pointers on the 493 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 5: road since she's been back, but she's in three point contest. 494 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 4: I mentioned that when I were Steve said that. I said, dude, 495 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 4: she's shooting twenty nine on this Well, surely he's less 496 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 4: now twenty nine percent of the season twenty six percent 497 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 4: since she's been back from injury. And by the way, 498 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 4: I'm glad you mentioned that because it has nothing to 499 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 4: do with the emailbing Rod Manford. But I will say, 500 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 4: Caitlyn Clark do got to get some of the smoke 501 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 4: because we will sing her praises, which justifiably so when 502 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 4: she's playing well and she's doing amazing things she does. 503 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,719 Speaker 4: Because if anybody else was doing this, if Steph Curry 504 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 4: was one for twenty nine, we'd be going crazy. 505 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 5: And to be honest, Steph Curry could go one for 506 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 5: twenty nine if you wanted to be in the three 507 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 5: point Contest, nobody would blink at the All Star break, 508 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. 509 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 3: Like, depending on how it happened. 510 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 5: This is kind of coming up on the All Star 511 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 5: break for the WNBA, so it's kind of going into 512 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 5: the stretch of it. But like if it was if 513 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 5: Steph Curry started the first month of the year one 514 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 5: for twenty nine from three by the All Star break, 515 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 5: if he wanted to, He's in the three point Contest. 516 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 5: That's kind of my point with Juan Soto. It's like, 517 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 5: at a certain point, these guys are the establishment of 518 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 5: what your league is. The WNBA is putting Caitlin Clark 519 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 5: in the three point Contest this year, not because she 520 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 5: is one of the best three point shooters in the 521 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 5: league this year. 522 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 3: She is putting it in. It is that it is 523 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 3: a bet on. 524 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 5: The future of what could happen, you know what I'm saying, 525 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 5: of what they believe will happen. 526 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 3: I don't know why. 527 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 4: I don't know what Jan Soto has either done or 528 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,679 Speaker 4: rod Manford just felt like he needed another pitcher and 529 00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 4: that was kind of the direction I'm gonna go, and 530 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 4: I want to, you know again, put miz in and 531 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 4: so they can see something spectacular for a inning, see 532 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 4: somebody do something different. We'll have guys who can hit, 533 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 4: we'll have guys who can field, but we won't have 534 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 4: necessarily guys who are throwing one hundred and three hundred 535 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 4: four miles power. 536 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 3: So maybe that's what he's mixing it up. 537 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 4: And that goes back to my original point that he 538 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 4: is in his death row sug night. 539 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 3: I'm doing stuff. Hey, Pete Rose, you just die, all right? 540 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 4: Y'all can vote him in now if you choose to, 541 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 4: whether you want to get him off the band list, 542 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 4: like I mean, is it is. I'm just making these 543 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 4: gangster decisions molding again. Some of it's work sped up, 544 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 4: the game change, the line shift, offenses, going fell into 545 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 4: the Dodgers Yankees, the whole Pete Rose thing. So he 546 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 4: is making some of these decisions right now and this 547 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 4: is being another one, and Wan Soda has to fill 548 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 4: some type of way though. I bet the second half 549 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 4: of the season he's got to go on a tear 550 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 4: because he's got to feel slighted from both the fan 551 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 4: perspective and then obviously Red Manfred Rob Manford, or you 552 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 4: could also just say Kelvin, I'm all right, why them 553 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 4: checks cash either way, which, by the way, that was 554 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 4: another thing he'dn't have to say. Rob and I did 555 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 4: agree when they asked him. By all you feels little, 556 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 4: you know, missing the game, and he was like, man, 557 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 4: you know Almo's money I'm missing out on. 558 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean again, he didn't do himself any favors. 559 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 4: But like you gotta know the climate, people are losing 560 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 4: their jobs left and right right now, people struggle busting. 561 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 3: Everything's up. 562 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 4: Sometimes it's just shows Tayy say, yeah, man, I really 563 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 4: wanted to represent the Mets in the city and put 564 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 4: them on my back end.

This isn't the 628 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 4: thing that sustains or fulfills me. I have a family, 629 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 4: he went on to talk about. I have a family, 630 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 4: I love, I have a wife, I have kids, I 631 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,439 Speaker 4: have you know, other family members of other hobbies. I 632 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 4: have things that matter to me, and just simply winning 633 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 4: something or losing can't be how I judge my life. 634 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 4: And I think that's something we could all think about 635 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 4: our jobs or the thing we love to do. That 636 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 4: doesn't have to be your entire existence, because one day 637 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 4: that could end. 638 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 3: One day, if your a football players over for it's 639 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,919 Speaker 3: over for the professional athlete. One day it will end. 640 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 3: It will be going to. 641 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 5: End at a point in your life when everybody else 642 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 5: is still working or just. 643 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 4: Getting going right, just really finding their way. I'm thirty two, 644 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 4: thirty four, I'm just getting good. I'm finding my way, 645 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 4: and you're done. You're like, okay, what do I do next? 646 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 4: And also acceptance. I think a little bit of that 647 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 4: for him is also acknowledging like, man, will they accept 648 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 4: me if I win? Will they validate me win? Will 649 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 4: this be exactly what they want? Did I get enough? 650 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 3: Martin? 651 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 4: Did I win enough? We have enough tournaments? Because nowadays 652 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 4: he wins three? Oh, I wasn't good enough for his talent. 653 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 4: I went five. Yeah, But Tiger did this. Phil did that, 654 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 4: you know what I mean? And I think he realized 655 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 4: I'll always be chasing it if I'm doing it for 656 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 4: just the crowd and the accepts as well. And so 657 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 4: I think another example of this to me the other 658 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 4: side is Naomi Osaka. I think she's kind of struggling 659 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 4: with some things. If you saw her most recently lose 660 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 4: and she said, I can't find anything positive in this. 661 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 3: I feel negative. 662 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 4: And she said the only thing positive is my daughter's 663 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 4: birthday this weekend, So that's the only thing I can 664 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:18,959 Speaker 4: gleam on. And you know, she's been in and out 665 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 4: of tournaments, taking her time, taking a year off maternity, 666 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,360 Speaker 4: or just mental health. And I think we don't talk 667 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 4: about this part of it enough for athletes, the mental 668 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 4: health part of what they do. 669 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 3: You knew Greg Hart, I believe right from Michigan. 670 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 4: Did Greg Harden, my best friend's pops rest in peace, 671 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 4: just passed away a little less than a year ago. 672 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 4: He was a sports counselor Google for the greats Desmond Howard, 673 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 4: Tom Brady, Michael Phelps, so many, Charles Woodson and so 674 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 4: many will never know because they were a third string cornerback, 675 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 4: or they were a wrestler, or they were a gymnasts 676 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 4: that went to Michigan and you never knew them. But 677 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 4: that was his great thing, is getting them to understand 678 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 4: who they are and how to use sports. But it 679 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 4: ain't who you are solely. It's a part of you. 680 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 4: And last thing I'll say too, you have to fall 681 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 4: in love. I think what we all learn is to 682 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 4: with the process, Like he said, just trying to be 683 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 4: the best golfer, working on the game because the wins 684 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 4: and the losses will get you in the high and 685 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 4: the lows. 686 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 3: And I tell that to a lot of young people 687 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 3: getting in this business. 688 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 4: They'll get a great review or a great rating and 689 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 4: up or winning an award. They're on Mount Everest. Someone says, 690 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 4: I didn't like that story. I didn't like the way 691 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 4: you just hosted that, Dey Martin. Now they're in the 692 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 4: deepest valley. You gotta be there for saying you don't 693 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 4: want to do that. You want to ride this thing 694 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 4: out the take the criticism, take the good, the love, 695 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 4: don't go too high, don't go too low, and love 696 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 4: the game in the process of just being the best 697 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 4: version of yourself, not necessarily always solely the wins and losses. 698 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 5: I will say I think that Scotti Scheffler is peaking 699 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 5: from a place of very, very earned privilege. 700 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 3: It's a little bit easier to. 701 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 5: Say being the number one golfer in the world's not 702 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 5: important when you've been the number one golf in the 703 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 5: world so much as he has. Right, it's like if 704 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 5: and and also I remember back to and again I 705 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 5: air a parachute in on golf. So I wasn't watching 706 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 5: before the Masters, but then I see the Masters. 707 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 3: Oh right, chefer's wife is pregnant. Oh he might not 708 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 3: play him she's gonna have the baby. 709 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 5: Oh well, that's that's certainly a decision, right, Like and know, 710 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 5: I'm not saying was it the past with judgment or anything, 711 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 5: but it's just that's definitely a decision that some other 712 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 5: people may not have made, right, And whether that's I'm 713 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 5: not here to tell you good, bad, or indifferent. I'm 714 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 5: just saying it's a decision that he made. And when 715 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 5: I cause when I hear these quotes I read him. 716 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:34,959 Speaker 3: At first, my eyebrows went up. I hear him say it. 717 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 5: It sounds like he's a guy that knows, like, like, 718 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 5: my kid's gonna take this first step soon? 719 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 3: Am I gonna be golfing? Then? 720 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 5: Like you know what I'm saying, am I gonna be 721 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 5: able to drive my kids to carpool and practice and 722 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 5: all that other stuff like? And I think that when 723 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 5: he talks about it, it's because his child was born 724 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 5: just about a year ago, right, So it's kind of 725 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 5: like the yeah you started speaking, this happening, these moments 726 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 5: that are, oh my god, she's got a FaceTime because 727 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 5: the first tooth pops out or something. And he's earned 728 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 5: over one hundred and thirty million dollars. You know, he's 729 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 5: got he's got enough money to wear, he's not exactly 730 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 5: going hungry. So I think with all of that being said, 731 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 5: you know it is what you know. 732 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 3: I get him
