1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: Alright, this is the Doug Gottli Show ears in the 2 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: Bonus with Doug Gottlie. 3 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 2: What up, Doug Gottlib Shoe at the Bonus Fox Sports Radio, 4 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:20,440 Speaker 2: iHeart Radio AaB Welcome, Welcome, welcome in. So here's the 5 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 2: problem with. 6 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 3: With today. 7 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 2: And how it relates to Major League Baseball. Okay, so 8 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 2: this is a real thing. When you see a guy 9 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 2: hit fifty sixty home runs, when Shoe Heetani has three 10 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: home runs in a game, when Aaron Judge breaks Roger 11 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 2: Maris's home run record, When these things happen, it is 12 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 2: very normal, very normal for any of us to go, 13 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 2: I do wonder if he did it clean. 14 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 3: I do want if he did it clean. 15 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 2: And because of it, you know, it just it takes 16 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 2: away from every baseball player, not just the ones who 17 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 2: were using steroids. I bring it up because last night 18 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 2: I'm watching the NBA and you had two absolute virtuosos 19 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 2: the fourth quarter and overtime with Steph Curry is the 20 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 2: stuff of legend. Not to be outdone, you had Shay 21 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 2: Gildess Alexander granted free throw merchant of the of the 22 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 2: nth degree, but fifty five points in a win against 23 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 2: the Pacers. And it's not that those two guys are 24 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 2: guilty of steroids or they're obviously not guilty of trying 25 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 2: to get the under on a on their daily personal line. 26 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 2: But the thing it, the most important thing to remember 27 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 2: or to think about, is that it's very normal human nature. 28 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 2: Is Hey, I do wonder if that game was on 29 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 2: the up and up. You wonder if the fouls, Well, 30 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: the Donneghie thing makes you think, okay, where the officials 31 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 2: trying to help Oklahoma City? And then these latest allegations 32 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 2: are you're trying to figure out, all right, does the 33 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 2: other team does do the Pacers anybody in the Pacers 34 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 2: have shay Gilgess Alexander to hit the over for his 35 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 2: daily stats. That's a real reasonable thing to wonder. I 36 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 2: don't for one second think that anything was nefarious in 37 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 2: either of those two games. But that's also because I 38 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: have a brain. I'm not constantly thinking conspiracy theories. And 39 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 2: I do believe that one of the good things about 40 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 2: the overall legalization of gambling is they can they can 41 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 2: find out who's trying to who's trying to. 42 00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 3: Rig a game. 43 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 2: It becomes pretty obvious to them. But the sinister part 44 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,839 Speaker 2: of the gambling is one when you lose a bunch 45 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 2: of money, the thought that, Okay, now you're gonna have 46 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 2: to do something illicit in order to make it back. 47 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 2: In two how it affects everybody's overall watch of the sport. 48 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 2: I've never been a WW guy. I don't necessarily understand 49 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 2: people that are, but they like the storylines. It's not 50 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 2: sports because sports outcome is not determined. It's not predetermined, 51 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 2: and when you mess with that, you mess with the 52 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 2: core of what sports is about. And I don't know 53 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 2: anybody who can't look at that story from yesterday and think, 54 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: I just I just wonder, I just wonder. So you 55 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: watch baseball, you watch NFL football, And it's one of 56 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 2: the reasons why I have been so vociferous in people 57 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 2: who say football is rigged or something like, do you 58 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 2: understand what you're questioning in terms of credibility? It takes 59 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 2: down the entire sport if that were in fact true, 60 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 2: the entire sport. 61 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: Be short To catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb 62 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on Fox 63 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 64 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 3: Let get the Fox US and Now. 65 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 2: Say every day this time in the Bonus podcast to 66 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 2: play for your portion of previous show, Fox Sports Radio, 67 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 2: Fox Sports One. 68 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,239 Speaker 3: Here's Dan Patrick talking about the Vikings. 69 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 4: Their offensive line isn't very good. In fairness to Carson Wentz, 70 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 4: he got sacked, he got hit a lot last night, 71 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 4: an interception. Does it look like he's comfortable back there? 72 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 4: And I could understand that, but I think the bigger 73 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 4: picture here is the Vikings because JJ McCarthy haven't gotten 74 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 4: any updates yet on that high ankle spring, but he's 75 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 4: been out for six weeks. And Carson Wentz is not 76 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 4: the answer. And this is where you can't help but 77 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 4: think that Sale Darnold has played well, and Danny Dimes 78 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 4: is playing well, and Kirk Cousins could have been available 79 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 4: to you to come back, and Aaron Rodgers flirted with you. 80 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 4: He chose a different direction. You chose a different direction. 81 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 4: And I know that this is hindsight, but this is 82 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 4: a situation where you've got the best receiver in the game. 83 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 4: And I wonder at what point Justin Jefferson says, get 84 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 4: me out of here. 85 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 2: I don't know they made Justin Jefferson the highest paid 86 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 2: what i'd receive in the game. But I understand I 87 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 2: thought the same thing, like, are we wasting Justin Jefferson 88 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 2: with a quarterback who's not good enough. I think they 89 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 2: whiffed on this one. I'm right in line with Dan 90 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 2: on it. I haven't seen it yet. In fairness to 91 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy, he has been heard. He hasn't gotten the reps. 92 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 2: It is too early, but there are the returns of 93 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 2: that great Here's Brady Quinn talking about the NBA gambling 94 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 2: scandal arrest of Johnson Phillips and Terry Rozier. 95 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 5: Well, here's where this doesn't hold up. And this is 96 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 5: where unfortunately, like many others who have opinions on this 97 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 5: whole matter, they're really inaccurate with with what's going on here. 98 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 5: There's been an investigation going on by the FBI for years. 99 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 5: I mean, if you look into this and it's wild 100 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 5: and I know, Jonas, you've got a ton of stuff 101 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 5: on this, but Terry Rozier individually, like this dates back 102 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 5: to twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three, that season, and 103 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 5: do you remember when he like there was the whole 104 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 5: speculation that he was tipping off someone about his individual 105 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 5: prop bet unders is that is that I have this right, Jones. 106 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, March twenty twenty three, and he. 107 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,679 Speaker 5: Ended up missing the entire rest of the season because 108 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 5: the NBA did their investigation and then the FBI was 109 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 5: still doing theirs, and they never they never finished. 110 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 6: And the other part that I think is kind of 111 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 6: laughing when they started listing off the crime families. 112 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 7: I like, Dean's got to know somebody. 113 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 6: But when they were, when they were, you know, I 114 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 6: see people going out there, you know, saying stuff like, well, 115 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 6: I mean, what do you expect to be dg take 116 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 6: money from gambling. And ESPN's got a gambling logo on 117 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 6: the screen on the chiron. They've got to take it 118 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 6: off when they start talking about this skit, dude. 119 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just it has been a long time coming. 120 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 2: This is not something recent, and you know, the FBI 121 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 2: is nothing if not thorough with their investigation. I will 122 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 2: point out that we had one of these with college 123 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 2: basketball years ago, and we thought that this was going 124 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 2: to be the downfall of college athletics and it got 125 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 2: of a bunch of assistant coaches. So we'll see, We'll 126 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 2: see what happens when there's an actual court hearing, actual 127 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 2: court documents and Chanceyhip is obviously the biggest name in 128 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 2: this one, but the idea of these prop bets being 129 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 2: a major factor are really interesting. Here's Rob Manfred. He 130 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 2: had this exchange with Nick Wright about Vlagrera Junior and 131 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 2: the long history of legacy players in baseball. 132 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 8: For me, in my life, I'm growing up the most 133 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 8: maybe the most notable ballplayer for a Canadian teams team 134 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 8: no longer exists, but Montreal Lexpo Vladimirica Guerrero Senior, who 135 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 8: was as a kid, it just seems so fun to 136 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 8: watch him because he was felt like he played the 137 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 8: game differently than everyone, but ball could bounce and he 138 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 8: would still try to hit it for a home run. 139 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 8: His son is electric in a very different way, very 140 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 8: different body type, very different player, but just one ALCSMVP. 141 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 8: We see this now across all sports, but baseball of 142 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 8: course as well, where some of the greatest players are 143 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 8: either sons, nephews, brothers of other great players. How cool 144 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 8: is that for you as the commissioner and in watching 145 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 8: what vlad has done this year, and you know the 146 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 8: family history, I. 147 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 9: Think if you go back and count and really look 148 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 9: at it, you know we have more father son, multiple 149 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 9: generation occurrences than any other sport. And I think it's 150 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 9: a great thing about baseball. It's something we're really proud of. 151 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 9: It makes for great storylines. And you know, I think 152 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 9: during the Fox broadcast, you know, they showed a lot 153 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 9: of pictures of Vladdie Senior and and uh Junior when 154 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 9: he was just a kid. Really and you know, it's heartwarming. 155 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 9: I mean, it's just a great story. 156 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 8: He also looks the exact same as a little kid. Yeah, 157 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 8: and he's on the Boba. Chev's father, Dante obviously was 158 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 8: a great It's just really cool. 159 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no question it's it's a very unique storyline. 160 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:31,719 Speaker 3: And I also thought. 161 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 2: That that Nick framed his dad correctly. His dad was 162 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 2: a thoroughly and you know, didn't say much, so it's 163 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 2: not like it was he was a quote machine, but 164 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 2: based about how he played, there was a uniqueness to 165 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 2: it and a likability to it. And of course he 166 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 2: was part of that last great Expos team, uh that 167 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 2: that had a chance if not for the strike shortened season. 168 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 2: So there's a there's a lot that goes into it. 169 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 10: So so Doug, if I can correct the record, I 170 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 10: want to say, I think you were talking to Pierzinski 171 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 10: yesterday and you said, quote, Jay Stu hates nepos babies. Yeah, 172 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 10: that's not That's what was on my take. So just 173 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 10: for the record, and so I'm not mischaracterized. Moving forward 174 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 10: with the Lebron brawny thing and the chaduur Dion thing, 175 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 10: I think it's been like a really bad year fors 176 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 10: NEPO babies. The expectations put on these nineteen twenty year 177 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 10: olds are just unfair, and they almost never live up 178 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 10: to that kind of hype. And Vlad Guerrero has not 179 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 10: only like lived up to the hype, so he's like 180 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 10: exceeded it. He's he's putting up MVP numbers, he's delivering 181 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 10: in the postseason, and it's a great story because of that. 182 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 10: I love watching him. Plus, he's like a top five 183 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 10: guy that I'll stop what I'm doing to watch. He 184 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 10: could at any point hit at five hundred feet. So yeah, 185 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 10: I hope he cools down considerably over the next ten days. 186 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 10: But I love the story. 187 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, you know. 188 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 2: You know what's what's interesting is here's the difference. Vlad 189 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 2: Guerrero has never openly spoken about his son, whereas I 190 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 2: don't think the pressure has been put on by outsiders 191 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 2: without the pressure of lebron And and Dion. 192 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, and that that leads to the hype. 193 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's absolutely been a huge part of the hype. 194 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 2: Huge part of the hype is they've been uh, they've 195 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 2: been their hype men. So I think that's where that 196 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 2: comes from. I don't think like Michael Jordan's kids weren't 197 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 2: as good as Bronni, but part of the lack of 198 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 2: hype was he wasn't their hype man. He'd let them 199 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 2: kind of do their thing. And granted, you know, there's 200 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 2: still one of them still in the news or whatever, 201 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 2: and not for the not for the good stuff. But 202 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 2: it's it's it's a fair point you bring up. I 203 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 2: was more teasing because you've pointed out time and again 204 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,079 Speaker 2: or you said the words nepo baby uh previously, that's 205 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 2: what the Fox says say. 206 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb 207 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 1: Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on Fox 208 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 1: Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 209 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 3: Let's find out who what's annoying? Jason Stewart. 210 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: And now it's your annoying. 211 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 10: Okay, So if you're doing the math, this week Steven A. Smith, 212 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 10: who has a platform on Sirius XM that is all politics, 213 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 10: and he often goes on political talk shows too. He 214 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 10: has this crazy he's kind of carved out, this strange 215 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 10: niche where he purports to be Democrat, but then he 216 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 10: goes on right leaning platforms and shits on Democrats. It's 217 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 10: a really weird dynamic and people are starting to get 218 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 10: sick of it, namely Bacari Sellers and Michelle Obama and 219 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 10: Jasmine Crockett. Anyways, if you're doing them out. This week, 220 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 10: Stephen A. Smith did a ten minute apology to Texas 221 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 10: Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. I don't need to go down that 222 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 10: rabbit hole. You could find it yourself. He also alienated 223 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 10: the right or the Trumpers yesterday with this. 224 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 3: We know what world did I live in? 225 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 11: In terms of politics? 226 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 12: How many times, for one incident after another have I 227 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 12: said Trump is coming? He's coming. I'm gonna say it 228 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 12: on national television again. Bad Bunny is performing at the 229 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 12: super Bowl, and all of a sudden, you hear in 230 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 12: Ice is gonna be there looking to engage in mass 231 00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 12: deportations the super Bowl, disrupting things. Big night for the 232 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 12: NBA when Beyonna put on a show that has now 233 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 12: been smeared because we're talking about this story. Okay, remember 234 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 12: Trump has a long, long history connected to the world 235 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 12: of sports because he had those casinos. Way do you 236 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 12: think folks will come in half the time? I'm not 237 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 12: talking about individuals. I'm talking about the culture. When people 238 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 12: want to want to go to a casino, when people 239 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 12: want to gamble, when people want to party, or whatever 240 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 12: the case may be. This was his kind of connection 241 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 12: to that. 242 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 13: Why am I glad you're here, Monica, because don't be 243 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 13: surprised that the w n b A is next on 244 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 13: his list, because when you've got all of these protests 245 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 13: that have been going out there and people that have 246 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 13: been protesting against him and what have you, this man 247 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 13: is coming. 248 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 10: My favorite part of that bite is by far Monica 249 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 10: McNutt just doing that. 250 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 7: I will say this, there's a Steven A. Smith is is. 251 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 10: I don't know if he's he doesn't want to find 252 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 10: a lane. Maybe he does, he backtracks and apologizes after 253 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 10: he steps in it. This is what political talk is 254 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 10: all about. And you really can't half ask political talk. 255 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 10: You either need to do it for a living or 256 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 10: don't do it. But doing this half thing where you're 257 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 10: getting paid ten million bucks to do sports and then 258 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 10: you're also doing politics, good luck with that. But this 259 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 10: was universally criticized, and I'm talking about both sides of 260 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 10: the aisle. Watching CNN last night, a Democrat says, specifically, 261 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 10: we need to be worried about what Trump's doing with 262 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 10: the Constitution. We need to be worried about what Trump 263 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 10: is doing with the courts. Having this is misplaced anger, 264 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 10: Like he's not targeting sports. These aren't things that he 265 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 10: would care that much about to do. And again, obviously 266 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 10: the entire right side of the political spectrum was very offended. 267 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 10: But I don't know what Stephen A Is trying to 268 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 10: do here. 269 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 3: I don't either. 270 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 2: Again, it's one of those things I think you said 271 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 2: it really well yesterday where you are basically, I'll condense 272 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 2: it where if you try to please everybody, you please nobody. 273 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 2: And I don't know if he's trying to antagonize everybody 274 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 2: or trying to appease everybody, But whatever he's doing, it 275 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 2: takes him farther from it being a reality that he 276 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 2: could win any sort of political seat. 277 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 10: Yeah, if that's but he has consistently denied that he's 278 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 10: going to do that. That's another weird thing. He talks 279 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 10: out of both sides of his mouth. 280 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 3: He just likes, I'm not going. 281 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 7: To do anything. 282 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 10: I'm not going to enter government, but I'm going to 283 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 10: keep the door open so that all these shows could 284 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 10: keep putting me on to correct beloviate about something I 285 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 10: know about half of what I should know. 286 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 3: Oh, you are completely correct. 287 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 10: In the history of this segment. If someone we're tallying 288 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 10: the number of times certain people were in this segment, 289 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 10: I think Steven A. Smith would top that, but a 290 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 10: close second would be Tyreek Hill. Somebody was interested enough 291 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 10: to put them on a podcast, easily one of the 292 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,360 Speaker 10: less intelligent people we've ever had in sports. They keep 293 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 10: giving them platforms, and they asked them the question is 294 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 10: this injury. Has this injury led you to believe about 295 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 10: maybe you played your last down in football? 296 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 14: That decision is all based upon how I feel and 297 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 14: where my mindset is at the moment. I'm happy with 298 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 14: being with my kids, I'm happy with the career that 299 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 14: I've had, and I love playing football. I love it, man, 300 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 14: But it takes a lot, takes a lot on you mentally, 301 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 14: takes a lot on you physically, and I'm at the 302 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 14: point now where I'm just like, I need to have 303 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 14: a conversation with mom, family, everybody, like wherever my mind 304 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 14: is at the time the decision to be made. But 305 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 14: I just know right now I haven't had time to 306 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 14: just live in a moment. 307 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 10: I think if we just started to make me think 308 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 10: of what Tyreek Kills legacy is going to be, Tyreek 309 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,199 Speaker 10: Hills legacy, I think starts and begins with he was 310 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 10: convicted of domestic abuse in college, or he pled to 311 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 10: something smaller than the charge in college, striking a woman. 312 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 10: And then his wife has accused him of domestic assault, 313 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 10: so he's a wife, Peter, and who knows what he's 314 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 10: done in between. That's probably first and foremost as legacy. 315 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 10: The second thing he's known for is he has fornicated 316 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 10: and he has put offspring of upwards of twelve or 317 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 10: thirteen kids into the country that are going to be fatherless, 318 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 10: who probably be financially responsible for them, but they will 319 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 10: not have a present everyday father. That probably should be 320 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 10: the second part of his legacy. And then the third 321 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 10: is this playing career where he chose to leave a 322 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 10: team that would go on to win at least two 323 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 10: Super Bowls, maybe three. I forget how many they've racked 324 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 10: up since he left. 325 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 3: Too. 326 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 10: He chose, he forced that, he forced them to get 327 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 10: rid of him. And then I'll just let Randy Moss 328 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 10: on this stuff. I brought this up over the summer. 329 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 10: Randy Moss did an interview for the South Florida Sun Sentinel. 330 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 10: You could look it up. They asked him where does 331 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 10: Tyreek Hill fit all time on receivers list? And Randy 332 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 10: Moss says, He's nowhere all time. 333 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 2: No, like, Tyreek Hill is going to be one of 334 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 2: those guys that super talented, but there is really no 335 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 2: legacy other than there was a moment there where he 336 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 2: was the most dynamic player in the league and I thought, 337 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 2: you know, off the field, bad decisions, lack of personal 338 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 2: self discipline is really what I ended up getting him. 339 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 2: And so he'll go down as really talented guy, but 340 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 2: not a Hall of famer, Hall of fame talent, but 341 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 2: not not hall of fame in terms of managing personal business. 342 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 10: So something up in yesterday that I want to say, 343 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 10: Yankee fans and Dodger fans were really anticipating and looking 344 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 10: forward to I don't think the rest of the sports 345 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 10: world really cares. I think you've been on record saying 346 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,959 Speaker 10: you're not impacted by this. But George Springer took questions 347 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 10: for forty five minutes, and someone had the bass to 348 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 10: ask him about the cheating scandal. You're playing in a 349 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 10: World Series against the team that you cheated out of 350 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,959 Speaker 10: a World Series eight years ago. What are your thoughts? 351 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 7: You know? 352 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 10: So he did a lot of gymnastics, I think he said. 353 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 10: When they said what do you think about going back 354 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 10: to Dodger Stadium, he says, I mean, at the end 355 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 10: of the day, I have a job to do. I 356 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 10: have a game to focus on. So that's kind of 357 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 10: the plan. I don't have a choice of going there 358 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 10: or not. The focus will be on the game, to 359 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 10: play the game the best I can. And then he 360 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 10: was specifically asked about the scandal, and he says, you know, 361 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 10: that's in the past. 362 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 7: This is about the now. 363 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 10: I've first from a lot of guys, you know, up 364 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 10: and down, all over the place. So he's trying to 365 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 10: not answer questions. I have a feeling when the series 366 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 10: goes back down, wigh, maybe somebody like Bill Plashki, we'll 367 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 10: get some answers out of him. 368 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 7: I don't know. 369 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 10: Cody Bellinger is known for a lot of things. He 370 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 10: won the MVP, he had a massive home run in 371 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 10: the twenty twenty COVID series. But I think Dodger fans 372 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 10: are universal in this. Cody Bellinger's best moment as a 373 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 10: Dodger was when he was asked in the In the 374 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 10: days following Rob Manfred's quote unquote punishment of the Astros 375 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 10: and the scandal and the details came out, Cody Bellinger 376 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 10: was in the clubhouse and he said this. 377 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 15: I thought man Fred's punishment was weak, given him immunity. 378 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 15: I mean, these guys were cheating for three years, you know. 379 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 15: I think what people don't realize is I'll two stole 380 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 15: an MVP from Judge in seventeen. Everyone knows they stole 381 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 15: the ring from us. I don't know what human hits 382 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 15: a walk off home run against rold As Chapman to 383 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 15: send your team to the World Series, and one has 384 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 15: the thought to say, don't rip my jersey off, but 385 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 15: to go in the tunnel, change your shirt and then 386 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 15: come out and do your interview like that. That makes 387 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 15: no sense to me. It makes zero sense to me 388 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 15: because I know me. Gary Sanders said, he yes, say 389 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 15: you can rip my shirt off, my pants off, I 390 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 15: sent my team in the World Series off for Rallis 391 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 15: Chapman and the night then he at home. I'm going crazy. 392 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 10: So I think the annoying part is is that it 393 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 10: looks like George Bringer is trying to kick this can 394 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 10: down the road and he thinks he can go the 395 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 10: next ten days without compelling himself to apologize to Dodger fans. 396 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 7: Wait, wait, Jason, did you say kick the can down 397 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 7: the road? 398 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 10: You mean like the trash can, right, kick the trash 399 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:51,239 Speaker 10: can down the road? 400 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 3: Look what he did there? 401 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 7: Boom? 402 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 3: I you know, yes, you're you're annoyed at what I know. 403 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 2: What we all know is gonna happen is that it 404 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 2: will not be brought up at all at all during 405 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 2: the World Series. 406 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 7: Correct, No, it was brought up yesterday. 407 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 2: No, during the World Series. I think when in the 408 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 2: actual games, like, no, one's going to talk about that 409 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 2: tainted World Series when they look back at George Springer's 410 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 2: MVP run in the World Series, like that won't be 411 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 2: mentioned and that will not sit well with Jason Stewart 412 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 2: or in the your opinion, most Dodger fans. 413 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 10: Correct, Maybe I think when the series comes back to 414 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 10: the Dodgers. When when it comes back to the stadium, 415 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 10: I'm hoping somebody of Bill Plotsky's ilk will ask him 416 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 10: some pointed questions get answers. 417 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 2: That's about the twenty seven different ways in which he cheated. 418 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 2: So I had to pick out who's the most annoying. 419 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 2: I mean, I think Steven A. Smith's most annoying, and 420 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 2: it's it's he's most annoying because he has this check 421 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 2: gigantic platform. 422 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,959 Speaker 3: And he's general. 423 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 2: He's like the last of the Mohicans to stay around ESPN, 424 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 2: and they gave in to his every demand, and yet 425 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 2: he still wants to do his own thing, wants to 426 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 2: do politics. And then it's the same style in which 427 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 2: he preps his takes for sports, which is all opinion 428 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 2: based on no fact and just kind of what he 429 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 2: thinks and maybe kind of a passing mention from somebody 430 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 2: that he thinks is smart. 431 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 3: It just looks sloppy. 432 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 2: And when you're sloppy and you make enough mistakes, eventually 433 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 2: you would think you lose your credibility. 434 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 3: But for some reason people to keep having him on. 435 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 3: So I guess he is not. It's a nut. 436 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 7: Why are we doing this? 437 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 9: I do. 438 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: Because we can. 439 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 10: I would say that Dana White is a gift to 440 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 10: this segment. If I ever need someone who's more than 441 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:12,719 Speaker 10: willing to drop f bombs and say something interesting, how 442 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 10: about this. Dana White did a podcast recently and he 443 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 10: was talking about why everybody should partake in MMA. 444 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 11: You can do two things. You can run and fucking 445 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 11: hide crow up in a ball and let the world 446 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 11: just fucking beat you to death. Or you can dig 447 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,239 Speaker 11: your fucking heels in. You figure out how to you know, 448 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 11: you have to figure out yourself, and then you fucking 449 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 11: dig in, you fight. 450 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 3: I love it. I mean, I like Dana. 451 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 2: I'm excited a big card this weekend, and I don't 452 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 2: know if we want everybody to do an MMA nonetheless, 453 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 2: why could play it for you? Because we can. That's 454 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 2: it for the end the Bonus Podcast. I got the 455 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 2: radio show every day three to five Eastern Tell two Pacific, 456 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. 457 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 3: iHeartRadio app. I'm Doug Gottlieb
