Our associate producer Paul Ryan Bershinger 30 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 4: also in the studio. The topic that nobody is talking about, 31 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 4: that we have to be talking about is Hard Knocks 32 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 4: in the Buffalo Bills. Do we It has been amazing, Manzi, 33 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 4: because the NFL machine usually turns out information promos, hype 34 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 4: everything that they can do to hype you up for 35 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 4: the training camp version of Hard Knocks, and this year 36 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 4: was very different. It was very different, and it ties 37 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 4: into a topic of conversation that is taking place over 38 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 4: the last forty eight hours with the partnership with ESPN 39 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 4: and the NFL network now and ESPN taking over the 40 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 4: NFL network with the league having a stake in ESPN, 41 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 4: and I mentioned Dan Patrick earlier and Dan Patrick has 42 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 4: brought it up. We're going to hear what Dan had 43 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 4: to say from a show earlier today because some took 44 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 4: offense to what he is saying. But what Dan Patrick 45 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 4: is saying is correct. And what Dan Patrick is saying 46 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 4: is how you cover the NFL now is going to 47 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 4: be different. If one of your biggest entities is now 48 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 4: in bed with that other entity, that's the way it is. 49 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 4: And if you don't believe me, look at the way 50 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 4: that Hard Knocks has been portrayed. Now. HBO doesn't air 51 00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 4: any games, but HBO has been the home of Hard Knocks, 52 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 4: home of Hard Knocks in season for one great summer 53 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 4: last year, the home of Hard Knocks off season. That 54 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 4: was amazing television with the New York Giants, and it 55 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 4: actually gave us too much that we didn't even have 56 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 4: won this past year because teams weren't willing to do it. 57 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 4: But there is no doubt that Hard Knocks has been 58 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 4: watered down. And I believe that the NFL likes it 59 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 4: that way. I don't think the viewers do, but I 60 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 4: believe that the NFL likes it that way. And now 61 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 4: what you have seen in the most recent episode of 62 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 4: Hard Knocks, which, by my account, no one yesterday Manzi said, 63 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 4: did you watch Hard Knocks last night? 64 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 2: Yeah? 65 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 4: No, Did you see the viral clip that was circulating 66 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 4: on social media yesterday about Hard Knocks? 67 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 6: No? 68 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 7: I did not. 69 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 4: No you didn't because there was nothing. There was nothing 70 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 4: about it at all. And so, in a roundabout way, 71 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 4: this is the point that I get to when I 72 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 4: start the show. This is the NFL that you are 73 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 4: looking at. It's not the NFL that we had twenty 74 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 4: years ago, when Hard Knocks was a full review of 75 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 4: what it's like to go through training camp. It's now 76 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 4: dressed up and wrapping paper and bows and ribbons and 77 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 4: the whole deal, trying to get you to fall in 78 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 4: love with this beautiful game of football. And we all 79 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 4: know that that is not the NFL. But that's what 80 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 4: the NFL wants to portray. So when you hear this conversation, 81 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 4: when you hear Dan Patrick saying what he's got to 82 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 4: be saying, it was on full display on Tuesday Night's 83 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 4: episode of Hard Knocks that no one thought was important 84 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 4: enough to talk about. The next day, You've said. 85 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 7: A lot here. I'm not gonna lie. 86 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 5: I feel that there is Hard Knocks here, Hard Knocks there, 87 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 5: Hard Knocks everywhere. I forgot about this new season of 88 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 5: Hard Knocks. Like you said, the advertisement was not there. 89 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 5: I had heard of it completely forgot about it. Haven't 90 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 5: watched it. But I just feel like I have access 91 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 5: to this already. I can watch quarterback, I can watch receiver. 92 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 5: There's just so much content that if I'm going to 93 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 5: tune in, you better give me something juicy that I 94 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 5: can't get unless I want Hard Knocks. 95 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 7: What did I miss? 96 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 4: You missed? 97 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 7: Give me give me like one or two things? 98 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 4: What I mean for Davious White going to an ice 99 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 4: cream shop trying to get a Sunday named after himself. 100 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 7: Let me tell you don't care. 101 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 4: Next you missed Dion Dawkins drifting in his car with 102 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 4: his kids. 103 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 7: Really don't care about that one. 104 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 4: Okay? 105 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 5: Did anything football happen on Hard Knocks about the Buffalo Bills. 106 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 7: Didn't you talk about James Cook? 107 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 2: They? 108 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 4: Hey? Did not? 109 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 5: Okay, So we've got ice cream and we've got drifting 110 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 5: to cover a Buffalo Bill's team that went pretty down 111 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 5: to the wires against in Jim Yes, against the Kansas 112 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 5: City Chiefs. And that's what you're showing me, so I 113 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 5: didn't miss anything. That's why they didn't advertise it, because 114 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 5: they're like, hey, don't tell anybody to watch it, because 115 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 5: once people watch this show, they're gonna start talking about 116 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,119 Speaker 5: how bad it is and what a waste of time. 117 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 4: By the way, you're right, I did go a little long. 118 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 4: Jay Drews agrees with you, tweets in yea more monzy. 119 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 4: Good luck getting a word in today. Okay, I'm gonna 120 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:58,799 Speaker 4: I'm gonna step back a little. 121 00:05:58,800 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 7: Sorry. 122 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 4: I was fired up. And by the way, by the way, 123 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 4: we're on a bit of a delay, so Jay only 124 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 4: heard half of me before he complained already, Sorry about that, Jay, 125 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 4: But you're right about the James Cook thing. We talked 126 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 4: so much about Micah Parsons and so much about Terry McLaurin, 127 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 4: specifically MICHAEH. Parsons as somewhat of Terry McLaurin. And you 128 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 4: have a Buffalo Bill's holdout that Brandon Bean told the 129 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 4: local radio station told WGR and Buffalo that they didn't 130 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 4: know that he was going to do the sit in, 131 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 4: if you will, until a few hours before their actual 132 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 4: workout on Sunday at the stadium, and so Tuesday night's 133 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 4: episode at the Stadium or of the Family Day, of 134 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 4: the Fan Day, that the practice that they had there 135 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 4: had zero, a big fat zero about James Cook and 136 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 4: his holdout in right now. And I think that's that's negligence. 137 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 4: And that's exactly what Dan Patrick is talking about. And 138 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 4: so while ESPN can say what they want to, you know, say, 139 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 4: and Don Van Not can say what he wants about 140 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 4: investigative journalist, HBO even being watered down and they're not 141 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 4: broadcasting actual games with the National Football League, HBO is 142 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 4: not gonna have it features super Bowl on ABC and ESPN, 143 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 4: those things aren't happening, and you're getting a watered down version. 144 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 4: What's going to happen as this continues with this partnership 145 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 4: with the NFL now having a stake in that network. 146 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 5: I don't know if the word is negligence, because negligence 147 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 5: implies that you missed an opportunity and you should have 148 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 5: taken advantage. You weren't prepared for a moment, you did 149 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 5: not prepare for that. This is I think on purpose. 150 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 4: You're right, yes, So that's. 151 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 7: Why I don't know if it's negligence. 152 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 5: I think this is this is on purpose the whole 153 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 5: watering down it is because I think teams don't want 154 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 5: to expose the real stuff that we want to see, 155 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 5: because this whole thing about ice cream and drifting, It's like, Okay, 156 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 5: is this a movie or am I watching a team 157 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 5: prepare for the upcoming season, a team that is looking 158 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 5: to get to the super Bowl and actually win it? Like, 159 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 5: that's what I want to see if I'm tuning in 160 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 5: to watch the Buffalo Bills, and I'm not a fan 161 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 5: of the Bills, but you have to bring in football 162 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 5: fans for a football show on a team that's not 163 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 5: your team. 164 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 7: So what is this? 165 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 4: Yes, you're right, it's awesome for Buffalo bill. 166 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 8: Yeah, if you're a part of the mafia, you probably 167 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 8: love it. But if you're just a football fan, you 168 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 8: have to bring me in with the football stories and 169 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 8: James Cook has to have been mentioned, and the fact 170 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 8: that it's not negligence. They just don't want to show that. 171 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 4: It was glaring to me because it starts out and 172 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 4: the episode starts out with Josh Allen, as it probably should. 173 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 4: He's the face of it, where he talks about and 174 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 4: he has this exchange with a reporter and they talk 175 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 4: a little bit about his wedding. You know this this 176 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 4: past offseason, and Josh Allen has this pleasant exchange with 177 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 4: the camera producer and then you know, then the donner, 178 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 4: you know, after he says, you know, like all right, 179 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 4: let's go, you know, like and that's the start of it, 180 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 4: and it gets you all hyped up, and then there's 181 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 4: nothing of actual excitement or drama. The first round pick 182 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 4: Maxwell Harriston got injured. They touched on that a little bit. 183 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 4: They did a tour of the new stadium. 184 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 5: Yep. 185 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 4: I think, yes, yes, there was that. That's in the guys, 186 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 4: like how you put together your dorm room at camp. 187 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 4: But there was nothing of this wide receiver isn't cutting it, 188 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 4: this linebacker is not where he needs to be. There 189 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 4: was Joey Bosa was a little bit like they showed 190 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 4: a couple of Joey Bosa clips. He's new to the team. 191 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 4: Ajpanessa went to the Everglades and caught a python this offseason. 192 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 4: All of that stuff that you probably could have seen 193 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 4: on social media that isn't relevant to the actual training 194 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 4: camp of what is going on, And I just feel 195 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 4: that it's it's representative to what people are worried about 196 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 4: with this new partnership. Is I grew up in a 197 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 4: time manzi this In the nineteen eighties, they would come 198 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 4: out with things like NFL films would have football follies. 199 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 4: I know Isaac Longkhan remembers and Jason Stewart. It was 200 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,959 Speaker 4: forty minutes of bloopers of balls hitting guys in the helmet, 201 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 4: guys falling down backwards. 202 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 9: Really well done, really well done too. 203 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 4: And it was kind of a laugh at yourself moment. 204 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 4: It was actually one of the better things of my 205 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 4: childhood growing up. And now the NFL isn't even able 206 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 4: to laugh at itself. Like you can't have the good, 207 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 4: you can't have the bad. You have to have this 208 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 4: prepackaged sort of meal that is just delivered right to 209 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 4: your door and how they want it. And that's that's 210 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 4: what dan Patrick is getting to. I want to bring 211 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 4: on Jason Stewart in a second. But Dan Patrick did 212 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 4: defend his name earlier today after Don Van Nadas said 213 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,719 Speaker 4: that he does investigative journalism for ESPN and didn't take 214 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 4: kindly to dan Patrick's response to him. Here's DP talking 215 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 4: about this whole ESPN NFL deal. 216 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 2: The NFL was buying ten percent of ESPN. There's a 217 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 2: merger between NFL Network and ESPN, and the point that 218 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 2: I made and want to continue to there is a 219 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 2: conflict of interest. I think we can all agree to 220 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 2: that now if you don't care about it, and maybe 221 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 2: you don't, but for me, I worry about that. But 222 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 2: you know, this is the old school in me that 223 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 2: you know with ESPN and having been there eighteen years, 224 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 2: and I mentioned that, you know, are they going to 225 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 2: have journalism? Are they going to cover the NFL? And 226 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 2: I didn't mention any names, but there was one person 227 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 2: at the mothership, Don ven Natta, who is a senior 228 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 2: writer who's been on the show. I think last time 229 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 2: he was on five years ago to talk about a 230 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 2: deep dive he did on the Decision with Lebron James, 231 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 2: and he's been on the show a couple of times. 232 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 2: He's a very good journalist. 233 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 9: He took it. 234 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 2: Personally when I was saying I don't know if they 235 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 2: did a deep dive on the NFL Players Association mess 236 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 2: and once again, this is live radio and I'm saying 237 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 2: I don't. 238 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,839 Speaker 4: Know, and this is Dan I think trying to play nice, 239 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 4: but I think what Dan originally said in the comments 240 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 4: a couple of days ago that made don van Out 241 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 4: so mad was that from this point on, what is 242 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 4: going to happen? So they may have done investigative pieces before, 243 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 4: like they did with the NFLPA and how it affects, 244 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 4: we want to know what is happened, what is going 245 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 4: to happen now that you have this partnership together. 246 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 5: Right, because when money is involved in a partnership like 247 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 5: this is involved, there's a clear conflict of interest. And 248 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 5: what Dan's asking is is a great question. Are you 249 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 5: still covering the NFL or are you just now representing 250 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 5: the NFL because it's very different. Are you going to 251 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 5: be giving me pr statements now or are you actually 252 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 5: covering the team whether it's good or bad. And it's 253 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 5: gonna be hard to believe that they are going to 254 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 5: keep everything the same, It's not it. 255 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 7: Things are gonna change. 256 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 5: I'm surprised ESPN wants to do this because I feel 257 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 5: like people tune into ESPN knowing that they cover kind 258 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 5: of eight umbrella of sports, and I wonder if this 259 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 5: is going to discourage people from trusting them in other sports, 260 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 5: not just NFL, Like, if you're doing this, then how 261 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 5: can I really rely on you for the other ones. 262 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 4: I want to get to Jason Stewart in his thought. 263 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 4: I'll just say this. I think what the NFL sees 264 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 4: is how ESPN handles the NBA. Sure, and I feel 265 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 4: that times they do it with kid gloves that that's 266 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 4: what they want for their product. And so now with 267 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 4: this partnership, and it's the NFL having their ownership stake, 268 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 4: ESPN getting more access to what is the most popular 269 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 4: sport by far in this country. I think that's why 270 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 4: they do this deal. But you could just look at 271 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 4: how ESPN covers the NBA and hopefully like there's NBA 272 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 4: live shows going on today that talk about the WNBA, 273 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 4: but they'll just make up NBA topics that are out 274 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 4: of nowhere because you need to talk about the league. 275 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 4: I think that's probably appealing to the NFL that you 276 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 4: would have more of an NFL angle with that. 277 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 5: I mean clearly not listening to fans though, because fans 278 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 5: hate how the NBA covers how the NBA is covered 279 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 5: by ESPN. They're clearly not paying attention because TNT NBA 280 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 5: on TNT literally everyone talked about it for days of 281 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 5: it not existing anymore. To cover the NBA because ABC 282 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 5: sucks when covering the NBA. 283 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 7: There's too many commercials. They don't say anything. 284 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 5: They literally say one line, Steven A say's two lies 285 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 5: and then they go to commercial. 286 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 7: It's a waste of time. And so that's what they're 287 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 7: wanting ESPN to do with their NFL product. 288 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 4: Well, they don't talk about the drama, that's for sure, 289 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 4: just like they didn't talk about drama and hard knocks 290 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 4: with the Buffalo Bills, the loan, big story that is 291 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 4: prevalent throughout the NFL, they didn't touch it on Tuesday Night. 292 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 4: Jason Stewart's our executive producer. 293 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 6: So yesterday you told me that the Bills training camp 294 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 6: had started on HBO and it was what Tuesday, Monday 295 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 6: or Tuesday Night? And my reaction was, how did I 296 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 6: not know this? Because all I do when I of 297 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 6: the Morning is just combed through content and something would 298 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 6: have dinged my radar. I had no idea that it aired, 299 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 6: and I had to watch it and it is such 300 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 6: a snorefest it's almost laughable. It's like they went out 301 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 6: of their way to be uninteresting, Like it's almost like 302 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 6: they're going through the motions. They're not trying to provide 303 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 6: interesting content. They're just going through the motions, maybe to 304 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 6: keep the relationship with the NFL, I don't know. And 305 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 6: how it ties into the ESPN thing, is this when 306 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 6: we watch CNN Now or NBC News or anything like this, 307 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 6: all of us watch if you're smart with this prism 308 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 6: of I'm getting my news in a fairly biased way, 309 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 6: and I need to decipher for myself if I believe 310 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 6: it or I trust in it. And I think that 311 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 6: moving forward, any news that is presented to us by 312 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 6: ESPN needs to be seen through that prism now and 313 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 6: you need to kind of do your due diligence. ESPN 314 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 6: used to always be that that source that you go 315 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 6: through for news, and I don't think that it is anymore. 316 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 6: And I think that they're making it pretty loud and clear. 317 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 6: They're like, we're gonna kind of we're going to compromise 318 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 6: our news department by getting in bed with these major 319 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 6: sports entities, including the wrestling this week. So yeah, I 320 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 6: think that we've just seen the end of journalism in 321 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 6: ESPN as we know it. 322 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 4: And there used to be such a wide ranging area 323 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 4: within ESPN of that, and like a lot of places, 324 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 4: there are cuts and cuts happen and stuff gets dwindled, 325 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 4: and now it's gotten dwindled to a point again, who 326 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 4: knows that they're gonna need investigative journalists like Don van 327 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 4: Not you know, in the future if this is what 328 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 4: the league wants. And so that's where it's it's nothing personal, 329 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 4: and so you know, Dan Patrick's defending his name. Don 330 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 4: Van Not is protecting his name and doing what he does. 331 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 4: But all of that doesn't necessarily matter if the NFL 332 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 4: has their way, and they've had their way within Hard 333 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 4: knocks into Jason's point, Now we expect it to happen 334 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 4: throughout ESPN And to Montsi's point, what do we get 335 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 4: as a viewer? 336 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 7: Right? 337 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 4: Are we just suckers in all of this? 338 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 2: Oh? 339 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 9: We suffer? Yeah, we suffer from all this? 340 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,679 Speaker 4: Yes? Am I a sucker? Like we didn't We stopped 341 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 4: HBO Max I think in April, just like we're not 342 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 4: watching it as much, there's not as many shows, so 343 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 4: we ended it. Guess who signed up for HBO Max 344 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 4: this week? This sucker right here because I felt like 345 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 4: I needed to watch Hard Not sure. Now I gotta 346 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 4: get everything that we need to watch in HBO Max 347 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 4: done in the next four weeks, so I can then 348 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 4: cancel it again because I don't know there's gonna be 349 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 4: anything after that that I want to watch. And I 350 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 4: already feel like buyer's remorse already for buying it this 351 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 4: week and having nothing happen in episode one. 352 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 5: It's so disappointing because again a team that went down 353 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 5: to the wire AFC Championship against the Chiefs, like, there's 354 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 5: so much there, There's so much there right now in 355 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 5: training him for that team. We're not covering a team 356 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 5: that is kind of figuring it out right, like you said, 357 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 5: going through the motions, because there are teams figuring it out. 358 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 5: The Bills are not figuring it out, they're fine tuning it. 359 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 7: That's what I want to see. 360 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 4: I think that your point, and I disagree with you 361 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 4: here is we want to see teams trying to figure 362 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 4: it out. We want to see that struggle. We want 363 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 4: to see the ups and downs. And in fact, the 364 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 4: NFL previously had criteria for teams that needed to be 365 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 4: met where because there was a point within the last 366 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 4: five years where we didn't know if we were going 367 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 4: to have hard knocks because teams weren't willing to do it. 368 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 4: But the NFL felt it was such an important vehicle 369 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,199 Speaker 4: for their brand that you had criteria like, if you 370 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 4: had a first year head coach, you didn't have to 371 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 4: be on it. If you made the playoffs the year before, 372 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 4: you didn't have to be on it. In fact, there 373 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 4: was a list of about four or five teams heading 374 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 4: into this offseason. The Seahawks were one of them because 375 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, that would be awesome. I'm a Seahawks fan. 376 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 4: I love to see what they've got beyond the scenes. 377 00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 4: The Seahawks fell in the criteria of possible hard knocks 378 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 4: candidates because they didn't make the playoffs last year. Mike 379 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 4: McDonald's now in his second years, is head coach, and 380 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 4: they fit the They flit the script, not the team 381 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 4: that made it to the AFC Championship Game. The Bills 382 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 4: previously were exempt, so if the Bills get the NOD, 383 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 4: two things had to happen. The Bills had to say 384 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 4: we'll do it, but we need certain things to not covered, 385 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 4: and the NFL says, well, honestly, people are sick of 386 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,479 Speaker 4: the Chiefs right now. Nobody's gonna jump on the Eagles 387 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 4: bandwagon because they're in the NFC East, Like like you're 388 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 4: entrenched with those teams. Who's our darling of the NFL right. 389 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 7: Now, the Carolina Panthers. 390 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 4: Ah, it's the Buffalo Bills. And in fact, I actually 391 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 4: think this could backfire in a way if the NFL 392 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 4: is making us bend over backwards to be interested in 393 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 4: the Buffalo Bills. And that's why so I think that 394 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 4: it flies in the face of what hard knocks is. 395 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 4: We want to find teams figuring it out. We don't 396 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 4: want The Bills aren't cruise control, Like they've got their plan, 397 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 4: they've got everything set up, so there isn't that conflict. 398 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 4: So the NFL not providing that and saying like, oh, 399 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 4: the Bills, let's just let the Bills do it because 400 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 4: they're awesome and they're one of the more popular teams 401 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,239 Speaker 4: and we'll get ratings that way. That doesn't really, you know, 402 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 4: tell you on how winning is made in the NFL. 403 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 7: Totally. I hear what you're saying. I think we're getting 404 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 7: to the same thing. 405 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 5: I just said it differently because I agree they are 406 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 5: in cruise control, but they're fine tuning in order to win. 407 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 5: They're they're getting down to the They're not you know, 408 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 5: the Panthers right now. 409 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 7: They aren't they they're not the Browns right now. 410 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 5: That is interesting. You're right, that stuff is interesting. But 411 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 5: for the Bills, I just feel like, if you're gonna 412 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 5: show me, I want to I want to know what 413 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 5: is it that's changing this year from last year? Because 414 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 5: you want to win it this year? What is different 415 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 5: this year for the Bills? That's what I wish they 416 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 5: were showing. But it sounds like they're just having a 417 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 5: good time. 418 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd rather see Bryce Young and try to take 419 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 4: that leap that find out guys that you know are 420 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 4: going to and not going to make the team. Plus, 421 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,959 Speaker 4: the Bills are so veteran leyden Moncey, you know, you 422 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 4: have a you have a fifty three man roster. Forty 423 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 4: of those pieces are just set. Last night, they didn't 424 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 4: highlight any person that wasn't going to automatically be on 425 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 4: the team, So there wasn't necessarily was Josh Allen again, 426 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,120 Speaker 4: it was Tredevius White, who the veteran comes back after 427 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 4: a couple of years with the away with the Rams 428 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 4: and Ravens. You had as it mentioned, aj Epanessa, like 429 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 4: that's who was there wasn't like seventh round pick out 430 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 4: of so and so is trying to make the team. 431 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 4: It's just very contrived and disappointing. But it ties all 432 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 4: back to what this topic is this week and why 433 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 4: why someone like Dan Patrick is worried about how we 434 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 4: view the NFL. Because there's old guys like me, Moncey, 435 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 4: and old guys like Jason and I won't call Isaac cold, 436 00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 4: but he's right there with us in the banning circle 437 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 4: that loved what the NFL was in the eighties and nineties. 438 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 4: And it's just different than what it was now because 439 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 4: it's prepackaged. 440 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 7: Yes, and it really is. 441 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 4: It's not authentic, and now you're taking away this as 442 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 4: they have been for the past few years. I think 443 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 4: it gets us frustrated. 444 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 7: You're not wrong. 445 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 4: This is the future and I'll be there Tuesday night, 446 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 4: when episode two of a Trading Camp with the Buffalo 447 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 4: Bills premieres on Hard Knocks. 448 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 7: Tell me all about it. 449 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 4: She's Moncey Blagos, I'm Dan Byer.

I know The 456 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 6: Bills was a snorefest, but at least I spoiled the 457 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 6: best part of the Billy Joel documentary that you were. 458 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 4: Looking for you No, we were talking during the break. 459 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 4: Jason comes in and is like, did you watch the 460 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 4: Billy Joel documentary?

Trust me, as a punster in a 504 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 4: college like Iowa, Sam, it's really something you don't write 505 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 4: down puns. They just come to you. Right, it's improvised. Yeah, yeah, 506 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,199 Speaker 4: I know some people have it. I know it is 507 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 4: people don't. 508 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 7: I don't have it. I would have to write it 509 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 7: down and make sure I don't forget to use it. 510 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,120 Speaker 4: Well, the Brewers have. It's in a way where other 511 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 4: teams are actually calling them being like this is amazing, 512 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 4: this is like how do you what did you guys do? 513 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 4: Is there more ways to do it? And what I think? 514 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 4: I kind of think this is much ado about nothing. 515 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 5: Right. 516 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 4: It was a special day, right, honoring twenty five years. 517 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 4: You had an earlier start time. It allowed them to 518 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 4: bring everybody back and you can't do that next week. 519 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 2: Right. 520 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 5: It's like one of those questions where it's like, no 521 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 5: matter how I answer, I'm gonna make you sound stupid, mean, 522 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 5: like how did you do that? 523 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 10: Well? 524 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 5: It was an anniversary of our ballpark, and so we 525 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 5: celebrated them. Yes, Like when people come to Dodger Stadium 526 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 5: and they're like, can I use. 527 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 7: Where's the restroom? Right there it says women, giant sign 528 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 7: says it's not. 529 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,479 Speaker 4: A club for women. It's not. 530 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 5: And it's like, no matter how you kind of make 531 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,400 Speaker 5: the person sound stupid. No, they obviously that was a special, 532 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 5: one off thing. I think there are things teams can 533 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 5: do that would make me stick around, and that is 534 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 5: definitely one of them. 535 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 7: But that's a special thing. 536 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 4: That's mac that's trying to maximize your dollars as a 537 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 4: franchise totally, which I don't necessarily understand, Mancy, because you're 538 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 4: trying to get us out of the ballpark quicker, not 539 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 4: that day, well just not that day. Maybe they're trying 540 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 4: to get you off the television a little quicker. But 541 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 4: isn't that what the pitch clock is all about. It's 542 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,880 Speaker 4: to not have these guests, to speed up the game, 543 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 4: to not have these lulls, to get things moving through. 544 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 4: And I know when the pitch clock first came about, 545 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 4: even Cavino and Rich talked about it. Guys were complaining, Hey, 546 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 4: I got three hours. I don't want to be out 547 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 4: of the ballpark in two hours and ten minutes. Like 548 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 4: I want to be there and enjoy it, but I 549 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 4: also don't think people want to be there for four 550 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 4: or five hours. And that's why I'm curious that other 551 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,679 Speaker 4: teams are trying to pick the Brewer's brain, trying to 552 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 4: do that more often, but. 553 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 5: It breaks up your evening. You feel like you're not 554 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 5: doing the same thing for four or five hours because 555 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 5: you're right when the pitch clock came in. I was 556 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 5: not super for it because going to a game was 557 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,719 Speaker 5: a casual fun, not oh, I have to hurry up 558 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 5: and get a drink or go get a hot dog 559 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 5: because now it's already inning five. 560 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 7: When before I was like, it's only the second inning. 561 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 5: We've got time, you guys, relax, We're good now. It 562 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,120 Speaker 5: feels like a sped up process when you're there. 563 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:20,919 Speaker 7: Now, when you're at home watching the game, it's the 564 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 7: greatest thing because it does go by a lot faster. 565 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 5: I am for it now, even in person, but it 566 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 5: did speed up that process. I feel like when you 567 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 5: do have an event, a special event like that, it 568 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 5: breaks it up, like you don't feel like you're doing 569 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 5: the same thing for four or five hours. 570 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 7: And this is I think a one off, like. 571 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 5: You couldn't have success like this if you did it 572 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 5: even once a month. 573 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 7: I think you have to do it every few months, 574 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 7: something special like this to get the fans to stay. 575 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 7: Dodger Stadium does fireworks shows, drone shows. I have said 576 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 7: it I could not care less about fireworks. I'm not 577 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 7: sticking around for fireworks. 578 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 5: I may stick around for a drone show if, like Shakira, 579 00:27:59,040 --> 00:27:59,959 Speaker 5: music is a part of it. 580 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying? 581 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 4: Can I say what you told me during the break? 582 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,479 Speaker 7: What did I say? Hold on a second, what did 583 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 7: I say? 584 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 2: Wait? 585 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 7: Wait? Should should you say? What am I saying? Okay? 586 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, you better keep those concession stands open? 587 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 7: Oh no, no, yes you better. 588 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,479 Speaker 5: I better have an alcoholic beverage absolutely, and a snack. 589 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 5: If you're telling me to stick around and you're not 590 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 5: offering me another beer, I'm not saying. 591 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 4: And I think that's that's the whole point of it. 592 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 4: I think that what was a neat one off teams. 593 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 4: I think that that was the reason that the home 594 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 4: run derby was the reason that people came Because as 595 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 4: part of this this article that was passed along to 596 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 4: us by Jason Stewart, the the option came up, or 597 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 4: an idea, a brainstorming point was other teams could do this, 598 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 4: and then you could compete against each other. You could 599 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 4: have the Brewers alumni taking on the Cubs alumni in 600 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 4: a home run derby contest. See Manti's looking at this, 601 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 4: does this appeal to you at all? 602 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 5: James, I, I'm interested. 603 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 7: I'd be interested. 604 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 4: Keon Broxton won it for the Brewers, not Prince Fielder, 605 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 4: not Ryan Brawn, Keon Broxton who played three years for him. 606 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 4: So there's also the point of it's not like Barry 607 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 4: Bonds is going to show up in San Francisco and 608 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 4: lead Team Giants to a victory over Matt Kemp and 609 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 4: other Dodger players of ten to twenty years ago. 610 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 5: I will say, let's hypothetically say, Jason, see if you 611 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 5: agree with me on here on this one. Let's say 612 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 5: this is at Dodger Stadium and they're doing some event, 613 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 5: and let's even say it is fireworks, but it was 614 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 5: only half can stay and the other half couldn't. Right, 615 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 5: Let's just say it's a bit more of an exclusive 616 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 5: event after and then I get to avoid traffic. 617 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 7: I'm staying. 618 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 6: No, No, the traffic thing at Dodger Stadium is a. 619 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 7: Whole horrible That's what I'm saying. 620 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 9: But it is a factor in your consideration. 621 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 7: Yes, it would. If I stay for something, then they'd 622 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 7: be like going to clear it. I'd be out. I'm 623 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 7: sticking around, no problem. 624 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 6: And I think that when you throw in the alcohol part, 625 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 6: if concessions are staying open, I guess I guess that 626 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 6: changes that widens the things that would entice you. But 627 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 6: I was just thinking, because I think about this all 628 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 6: the time. I'm never gonna be the guy that stays 629 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 6: for fireworks. But I think Dodger Stadium has also had 630 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 6: movie night they where you get to sit on the 631 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 6: field and watch a movie after the game. Again, that's 632 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 6: more I think if you're with your kids, totally different thing. 633 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 6: But I'm not going to watch a movie on on 634 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 6: the grass at Dodger Stadium. 635 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 9: I don't know. 636 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 6: This home run derby probably wouldn't entice me either, but 637 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 6: I have beers will get me there. 638 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 4: I guess I think it was a complete one off, 639 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 4: and I think it was the twenty five years to 640 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 4: see everybody get together, just like you're not going to 641 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 4: a family reunion every weekend. You see them once every 642 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 4: ten years, and then you catch up at that point 643 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 4: and then you all go your second way, separate ways 644 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 4: and move on. It's also a deal, like I think 645 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 4: we're looking at it from the ass BC of how 646 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 4: do you get fans to stay longer when these events 647 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 4: are more of how do you get fans into the ballpark? 648 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 4: That's the original, Like, that's the basis of it. You 649 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 4: just had Hello Kiddy Night, right, that was that was 650 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 4: absolutely bonkers at Dodger. 651 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 5: Stadium in a week of busy giveaways. 652 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 4: Then there's also like four different show Hey Bobblehead nights, right, 653 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 4: So that's to try to get fans to the to 654 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 4: the ballpark. This alumni home run derby, it makes you 655 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 4: stay longer, but it's also well, let's stick around, we'll 656 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 4: be able to see the alumni home run derby. It's 657 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 4: trying to get you into the ballpark. I just don't 658 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 4: know how many times you can go back to that. 659 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 9: Well, what about a concert? Dan? 660 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 6: If I said a Dodger game on Wednesday night, you'd 661 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 6: probably like, probably not. But if I said, but Toto 662 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 6: is pointing, does that get you to stay? 663 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 4: It helps? And minor league hockey teams do this. I 664 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 4: think minor league baseball teams do this sort of thing. 665 00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 4: NBA teams actually have people performing at halftime, yeah yeah, 666 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 4: and stay afterwards, so something to that effect. I don't 667 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 4: know where Toto would actually play though, because then you 668 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 4: would you just wheel in a stage from center field. 669 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 4: You could do that and then everybody gather around. 670 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,239 Speaker 7: No, you would stay in your seats. They wouldn't like 671 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 7: they would on the field. 672 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 4: Well then what's the point right then? 673 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm if there was a concert, I would just 674 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 5: show up in the fourth inning and then stay for 675 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 5: the concert. 676 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 7: And then it feels like I'm not there as long. 677 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 4: If you shortened the game to six innings and then 678 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 4: I had a concert like perfect. Guess Ryan bursching Or 679 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 4: and I were talking about how much we love the 680 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 4: Little League because I'm like, six innings amazing.

Yes, 735 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 4: I'm not sure how many casual fans are turning for 736 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 4: the Dodgers to go back to back. I don't think many. 737 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,279 Speaker 4: But right now, even the Dodger fans aren't happy with 738 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,760 Speaker 4: their organization. It's except Joan. They love. 739 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 7: Thing ever. He's the greatest thing ever. 740 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 5: I every single time he does it again, I just 741 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 5: can't believe how good he is Dan, how good he 742 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 5: is in the moment he delivers. Every single time there 743 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 5: is a giveaway. Yesterday it was the World Series O 744 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 5: Tawny giveaway, and he hits a home run thirty nine 745 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 5: on the season, his thousandth career hit. He also pitches 746 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:17,399 Speaker 5: four such good innings eight strikeouts, season high for him. 747 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 7: And then the Dodgers lose. It's like poor guy is 748 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 7: back in Anaheim. That poor poor guy is back in Anaheim. 749 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 4: You've got the second best record in the National I 750 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,879 Speaker 4: don't care. Excuse me, thus, I don't care. 751 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 5: You lose to the Saint Louis Cardinals, who basically have 752 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 5: a half game above the Marlins for the final Wald 753 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 5: card spot. Cardinals and Marlins are not teams that the 754 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 5: Dodgers should be losing too. 755 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 4: Well, the Marlins playing good ball. No, they only play. 756 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 4: I called it a month ago, look out for the 757 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 4: Marlins because they were screwing me in our survivor pool. 758 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,399 Speaker 7: I know they be all the good teams they do. 759 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,280 Speaker 4: They're kind of in the think of it. They're probably 760 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 4: not going to catch anybody in the NL. 761 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,840 Speaker 7: But they're not even trying. Marlins. But this isn't how 762 00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 7: they won their World Series without trying. 763 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,400 Speaker 5: World Series without trying, So maybe this is the Marlins 764 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 5: here again. 765 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 4: No one actually show hate producing and no one else 766 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,799 Speaker 4: doing their part for the Dodgers at least right now. 767 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 4: I think is what all other baseball fans love. 768 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 7: Because do you think they like good point? 769 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 4: I do you think they like to see the spectacle that, yes, 770 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 4: But then if it comes with the Dodgers loss, I 771 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 4: think it's a win win. 772 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:29,600 Speaker 7: I think you hit it right on the head. 773 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 5: People want to see a Tani he did great and 774 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,840 Speaker 5: then the Dodgers lose. It's a win win for a 775 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,360 Speaker 5: lot of people besides us Dodger fans. 776 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 7: Thank you, Donald, President, Donald. 777 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:47,400 Speaker 4: Trump, thank you so much, Jason.
