1
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: All right, all right, Yo yoya going stool alive from Philly.

2
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: It's the Folly and Tony Foolsco. It's always Bolly Fools

3
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: go here with Tony Foolsco and Tony. You know, people

4
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: think that because there was no show these past couple

5
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: of weeks, that we were taking a break. Nope, no

6
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: sports news never slows down, people. We were busy talking

7
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: to our sources getting the big scoops to break right

8
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 1: here on the show where with Tony. Yep, we were

9
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: hitting all the message boards all over camp. You serve,

10
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: we were everywhere getting all the scoops and all the

11
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: stories weeks. Yeah, we got sources up the yin Yang

12
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: as you know. And you know that's a great segue.

13
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: As they say in the business to our guests today,

14
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: he's this guy who you know, some people consider a

15
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: major person in these sports media journalism field, if you

16
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: couldn't even imagine that such a thing exists anyway. He's

17
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: a writer for the Sports business journal John or Rand,

18
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: who has made a name for himself by breaking news stories.

19
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: But you know he doesn't wait, do your people hear

20
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: the stories that we're gonna break on the show. You know,

21
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: in fact, or end. He's probably sitting right now waiting

22
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: for his guest appearance, thinking he's gonna break big news.

23
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna beat him to the punch, aren't we, don't it. Yeah,

24
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 1: we're gonna break more news in the next five minutes

25
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: than he has in his whole career. Yeah. In fact,

26
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: let's not even delayed, Tony, because you know, we've kept

27
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: our audience waiting. They want to know what this is.

28
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: So here we go a segment on the show we

29
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: haven't done in a long time, Tony. It's called breaking

30
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: news news all right. By now, you've probably heard NBC

31
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: has signed Drew Brees to be their football analysts. But

32
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: what you probably don't know is the reason why this happened.

33
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: The latest sports media research has shown that's what viewers want.

34
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: They don't want a talent with personality. No, they want

35
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: a guy who's boring and has no personality so they

36
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: don't detract from the game. Yeah, which makes total sense,

37
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: because these other guys like Tony Romo, they're just blabbing

38
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: on too much. You want a guy you don't even

39
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 1: know he's in the boot, he's so quiet. Yep. And

40
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: our sources tell us that Fox is now jumping on

41
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: this trend, though they're in deep talks with Joe Flacco

42
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: trying to convince him to retire. In fact, he did

43
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: a screen test in the off season. He said only

44
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: three words and they were barely audible. And he is

45
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: the leading candidate. As they say, gravity is the soul

46
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: of wit well, said Tony. Alright, more breaking noise, lebron

47
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: A d and Durant. Everybody thinks they're injured, right, Nope.

48
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: We got a source on one of our message boards.

49
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: He runs an airbnb part time in Modesto. He says

50
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: he saw the three guys. They're hanging out, walking around

51
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: on their two feet. This is all a hoax people,

52
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: just so they can get out of playing in the

53
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: regular season. You know, people just catching onto message boards now,

54
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,119
Speaker 1: you know. I hear people say, oh do you see

55
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: what they said on Reddit? But not us, poorly, We've

56
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: been on message boards since Stay one of cop You

57
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: serve back in yep, ahead of the game as always news.

58
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: All right, So the Master's Golf Tournament just had its

59
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: lowest rating in twenty eight years. In fact, it's so bad.

60
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: Our sources tell us that CBS is considering pulling the

61
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: plug on the Masters and replacing it with reruns of

62
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: Designing Women The Great Delta Burke. What a show. Now,

63
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: obviously the reason his Tiger Wood is out, and you

64
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: know that's causing the dropping the ratings. But our sources

65
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: tell us p G eight Tour commissioner j Monahan has

66
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: a big solution. He's gonna hobble every player on the tour.

67
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: Just go out and break their leg so he can

68
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: even the playing field and therefore Tiger can compete again.

69
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: Bold initiative. This is what you call handicapping the field,

70
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: because now every play has got the same handicap. There

71
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: you go, people, big breaking news on the show. And

72
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: Luco's local's jumping on the line here, a little late

73
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: to the game, probably a little jealous because we just

74
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: beat him to the punch. Let's bring him on a

75

78
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,039

Speaker 1: to talk to you? I mean, how much are you

94
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: and and we we don't do that. We just you know,

95
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: we we try to establish relationships with people, try to

96
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: get them to trust us, and then we uh, you know,

98
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,440

00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: helpful suggestion for you, you know, quick question you pay?

100
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: Do you pay for your scoop? First of all, do

101
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: you understand how how an interview works? We asked the questions,

102
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: but no people just people come up to us. They say, hey,

103
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: we know you got an audience of millions, we please

104
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: broadcast this to everybody for us. That's what they do.

105
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe maybe are you jealous? Is that what you're saying? No,

106
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: I'm not trying. I just I thought that was interesting

107
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: that that was your first question. So I just was

108
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: I thought, maybe that's something that you did. That's all. No,

109
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: we have what's called integrity. But please, and also you're

110
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: a writer with a host. Allow us to show you

111
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: how an interview is structured. Now, hold on about that

112
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: you work for this sports business journal. I mean, I

113
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: guess that's a pretty narrow audience you're targeting targeting with

114
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: that over there, my guests, is your subscribe as Dick

115
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: Ebisol And that's it true? Uh, Dickstar is a subscriber.

116
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: In fact there, that's true. But you know, we we

117
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: have subscribers as the owner of sports, of sports teams.

118
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: It's the heads of networks. You know. I think the

119
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: guys producing your podcast probably subscribe. They should if they

120
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: don't leave produced to Jay he he subscribed the Highlights magazine.

121
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: But I digress. You know, don't you you know, don't

122
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: you want to be working for a more reputable publication

123
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: that everyone reads that has high readership like the USA Today. Yeah,

124
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: can I ask you a quick question? I know I'm

125
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: not supposed to ask a question. What is going on? What? Well?

126
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: My PR department said it's gonna talk about NFL rates.

127
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: You wish we did that. What we're gonna talk about

128
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: is the story that you kind of let's just say,

129
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: had a big swing in a miss with recently. Come on,

130
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: you predicted Sinclair's rs n s, which are the regional

131
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: sports network to the late people out there. You said

132
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: they'd reach a deal with the satellite and cable providers

133
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: by MLB opening day. I checked my TV. I don't

134
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: see any Sinclair rs ns on that, Tony, do you Nope?

135
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: Not one. Don't you think you should take this opportunity

136
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,239
Speaker 1: to apologize to your readership out there, the Baltimore based Sinclaire.

137
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: I will tell you one thing. If you live in

138
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: a Comcast market, and I think you do, you get

139
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: you get Sinclair r SENS. So they have a deal

140
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: with Comcasts. They do have a deal with the cable company.

141
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. You know, my

142
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: my antenna has been acting weird lately when I might

143
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: have to put some momentum on it. Yes. Sorry, if

144
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: I don't subscribe to your cable provider or your poor journalism,

145
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. They all right,

146
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: look we'll get two more important stories. You want to

147
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: talk NFL media. Okay, this is what we're gonna talk about.

148
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: One of the big stories we just broke on the show.

149
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,599
Speaker 1: After NBC signed Drew Brees, Fox realized what's hot in

150
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,719
Speaker 1: sports media are boring quarterbacks with no personality. So our

151
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: sources say that Fox is reaching out to Joe Flacco

152
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: to convince him to retire. What are your thoughts on

153
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: Flacco potentially replacing Troy Aikman as Fox's lead color guy.

154

00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: my hat off to you guys, But I don't I

183
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: don't think it's true. I just look at he's jealous, Tony, Yeah,

184
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: what makes you you know more than Wade? Though I

185
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't say I'm jealous. I'm just saying that, like Lebron

186
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: has been on the road with the Lakers, I haven't

187
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,679

188
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: How do you know that's Lebron? You know about the doubles,

189
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: you know we're on the message boards, We've seen the pictures.

190
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: Not the same Lebron that hairlines different? Is this an

191
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: act you got? These are the two worst Baltimore accents

192
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: I have ever Baltimore. It's Phil you question, you didn't

193
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,559

198
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: this is this is a big breaking news story here,

199
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: this is a big story. All right. You know, we

200
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: saw you tweeted about the low ratings and the masters,

201
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: you know, twenty eight year low. Now we hear the

202
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: PGA Tour sources tell us are doing something drastic in

203
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: an effort to bring Tiger back to the tour. P

204
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: g A commissioner Jay Monahan is planning to Yeah, he's

205
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: planning to hobble all the other players. So it's a

206
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: level playing field again and Tiger can compete. Your thoughts

207
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: as a media analyst on this bold strategy, I think

208
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 1: if he were to level how all the golfers and

209
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: put that on pay per view, it would be one

210
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: of the biggest pay per view events in the history

211
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: of pay per view. How would he how would he?

212
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: How would he cripple them? Would it be with golf

213
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: clubs or would it be that Yeah, now you're talking,

214
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: oh good questions. But you know, let's not distract from

215

00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,600

217
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: done in this business. How you break stories, and we

00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: want a big story to break, please go. My belief

222
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: is that ESPN is going to renew Sunday Night Baseball,

223
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: and they're gonna pay less per year than they pay

224
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: currently in order to show Sunday Night Baseball, which is

225
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: a big deal in the media sports rights marketplace. Why

226
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: did you think that was a big story. I mean,

227
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 1: we're trying to reach a national audience here, and that's

228
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: what you go with a Sunday Night Baseball deal. Bryce

235
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: word that we don't like to use because out of

236
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,480

253
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: sly one. I slid under the rug there that was on?

254
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,480
