Speaker 2: that Smith had made his way safely to the Greater

Speaker 2: Detroit area and how he announced his arrival, the fact

14
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: that he was at a white castle at twelve fifteen

15
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: in the morning. There you go, one half hour after

16
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: a life in the Greater Detroit area. One of the

17
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 2: only people I've ever known to vacation in Detroit particularly well,

18
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: I guess it's summertime. Normally he goes holiday holiday holiday

19
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: visiting there. Why would you leave the beach for Detroit,

20
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: But you know what, summertime. Perhaps there's a little more,

21
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: maybe he's gonna go take in a Tiger's game. I

22
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 2: don't know, I don't really care at How about a

23
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: fresco where you find him? If you want to check

24
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: in there at Stink and Genius one is Arnie find

25
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: me over at Swollen Dome. Lots going on in the

26
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: greater sporting world. I was really getting ready to send

27
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: a bunch of really nasty eye kind of funny text

28
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: to my mom, you know, Cubs fan, even though she

29
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 2: still has now adopted the raise as another part of

30
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 2: her cheering section. Hey it is what it is. White

31
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: Sox were absolutely bludgeoning the Cubs, and it's like, ay,

32
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: we got to shut out going into the seventh and

33
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, a three run barrage. And it's

34
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: not quite as fun once they get a crooked number

35
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: up there, but we'll celebrate it as we will over

36
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: the course of the show. We got so much going on.

37
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: We got the NFLPA with more chaos, just as we predicted.

38
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 2: The other day, I saw a couple of movies one

39
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: very late night as Happy Gilmour two came out, and

40
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: then I'm a Fantastic four nerd. I started a new

41
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: program outside of our sports world, Arnie. So we'll tease

42
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: that ahead where people can interact socially. There we got

43
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: linn O Messi a messy, messy situation. And then we've

44
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: got a strike. And no it's not the WNBA, it's

45
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: not Major League Baseball. No, it's the concession workers at

46
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: Fenway Park as the Dodgers come in for a big

47
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 2: series this weekend. Dodgers take the opener five to two.

48
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: Walker Bueller gets his ring before the game and everything else.

49
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 2: But they had striking workers all aroun around the facility.

50
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: Don't buy food, walking the picket line. You've got the

51
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: Ara mark, the concession vendor fighting with their union, and

52
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: the Red Sox going, hey, everything, we can tell you

53
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 2: it's not us, it's not on us, Bernie Sanders chiming

54
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: in respect the picket line the union posted. We know

55
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 2: ticks are expensive. We're not asking you to stay away

56
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: from the home games, but we're asking you not to

57
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 2: buy concessions. No purchase of pretzels, pickles or peanuts. How

58
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: many of those folks then set up stands outside and

59
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: still made some money, Like you know those mobile hot

60
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: dog carts that are everywhere here in Los Angeles.

61
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, that looked like a serious and by the way, hello,

62
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 3: how are you my?

63
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: I'm great body. What's going on? Well? Here we got

64
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: four hours of pleasantries, towering me nine thousand times.

65
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 3: We had four hours. I think that's going to wrap

66
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: up the show. So I'll beat to you next week.

67
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: Thank you for by the way, you threw me off.

68
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 3: I didn't know you were driving tonight, so but that's okay.

69
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 3: You'll never learn how to drive it unless you do it,

70
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 3: so I'm gonna let you go ahead and do that.

71
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: It's good to speak to ice.

72
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: It's good to have a you know, a kindred smart

73
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: ass in the chair. You and I go way back.

74
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Arnie Spaniard. Do we have any trumpets or

75
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: anything for his arrival that we want? I got to

76
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 2: roll out of Red Cardiff.

77
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 3: But I'm like, he's got to get to be right.

78
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 3: I mean we're I think this is our three now.

79
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 3: I I just had dinner disfter Steve Singer.

Speaker 3: Fire a fire on the man here that all night long.

86
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 3: We've been hearing that for weeks. That's gonna drive me crazy.

87
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 2: He's been buying that. That's got nothing to do with

88
00:04:58,480 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: you be on the show.

89
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 3: Oh, I know, it's it's driving me batty. And it's

90
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 3: only been twice right now.

91
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: It's one of the great drops that you've given us. Many.

92
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 3: I saw I saw a Grateful Dead, uh cover band

93
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 3: my friend had not my friend. Some lady I met

94
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 3: invited me to our house.

95
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 2: To wait for a waiver band.

96
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

97
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 2: You gotta bet you want to get a stand up

98
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: bass player as you try to tell these stories death,

99
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 2: I hear you call me.

100
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly. This lady called my name in the parking lot.

101
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 3: I didn't know who she was, but she's like, hey,

102
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 3: you should come to our party. We're having a cover band.

103
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 3: It's Grateful Dead. So I told my wife and we

104
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 3: just kind of, you know, crashed. We didn't know anybody there,

105
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 3: but it was a good.

106
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 2: Did you throw the keys in the right bucket or what? Yeah?

107
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go, there you go.

108
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 2: You got to me a certain age. You go look

109
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 2: that up on the exactly and your inner wes and

110
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about it.

111
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 3: But yeah, hey, what's going on? I saw you like

112
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: thirty six topics today? What that's like an all time wreck?

113
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 3: Are we gonna get to every one of them?

114
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 2: Model No, because a bunch of them are actually a

115
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 2: little dated in that I've been doing shows all weekdated

116
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 2: show no, No, No. The point is we're pretty good,

117
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 2: I think between Frostburg Alex when when Steve's in with

118
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 2: us last night, Dan Byer Moncy Belango sending with us

119
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 2: that we grab what's current and new, which means it

120
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: doesn't get toes date and see which way the wa

121
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 2: to that point. Seven of them we already did. There's

122
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 2: a couple that I'm I like our license with the FCC.

123
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 2: We know one of the principles and in some of

124
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: the notes that you sent me is very litigious. Resides

125
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: here in Los Angeles, doesn't show up when he says

126
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 2: he's supposed to show up at a pizza place. May

127
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 2: or may not be trying to force his way out

128
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: despite picking up a fifty two point six million dollar

129
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 2: player option. By declining it would have written made his

130
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: life a lot easier but instead it's look at me,

131
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 2: look at me, Hey, hey, look at me like I'm

132
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 2: going straight things and ten things I hate about you

133
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: say plenty of movie references over the course of the night,

134
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: but you know, the Lebron James stuff. It's fun to

135
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: kind of look at and weigh that. I mean, we

136
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: can talk about the team today today.

137
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 3: It's changed actually today because Jeff Tigue walked it back.

138
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 2: No, no, you can't walk that back. Well what no,

139
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: you can't. You can't under you might you might have

140
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 2: gotten threat of legal recourse. So you will issue a

141
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 2: public apology and you and walk it back and like that,

142
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: have that siren trug.

143
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 3: If it's true, you can't sue, right, I mean, that's

144
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 3: that's a pretty good defense, at least I thought. I

145
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 3: think it's a good defense.

146
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: Well for those unaware Jeff Tigue implying that miss time

147
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: by Lebron James in the past. I mean, since you

148
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 2: know you're walking it there, we'll we'll go through it, uh,

149
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: implying shenanigans uh in terms of availability and in terms

150
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 2: of readiness to play and maybe supplements how do you

151
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: look that will dance around it that way, But and

152
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 2: then immediately within twenty four hours after backlash, and we

153
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: have seen litigiousness on the part of Clutch Sports and

154
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 2: Lac James that suddenly, oh, I you know, I was

155
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 2: just speaking off the cup. No, no, no, you knew exactly

156
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,679
Speaker 2: what the hell you were doing. And it was only

157
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 2: when you got the call note, multiple notes, maybe a

158
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: courier that showed up with a you know, a nice

159
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 2: Manila envelope of stuff, that suddenly you're walking it back.

160
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, you don't got that there. Whether whether you

161
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 2: want to believe stuff or not, I mean, that's up

162
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 2: to you the listening audience. You're an intelligent group of people,

163
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: and I'm not going to try to swear you one

164
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 2: way or another, Arnie. That's not what we're here to do.

165
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 2: In the end, I enjoy what's in between the white lines.

166
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 2: History will decide the rest of it.

167
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 3: I don't care to be honest with you and talking

168
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 3: about all athletes, I'm not just talking about Lebron. What

169
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 3: supplements they're using, what they're putting in their body, what

170
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 3: they're trying to do to make themselves healthier, trying to

171
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 3: overcome and get back from some injury, a steroid, whatever

172
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 3: it is, whatever doctor says, if the doctor says, hey,

173
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 3: this is gonna make you heal faster, they put their

174
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 3: bodies through so much, Mike, and I don't think and

175
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 3: I'll speak for America, how about that. I don't think

176
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 3: Americans can care anymore. I don't think anybody sits back

177
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 3: right now and go look at that guy. He's a

178
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 3: running back. He's gotta be on steroids. Or look at

179
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 3: that baseball player. Look got what he home runs he has.

180
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 3: He's got to be on something. Nobody cares, Nobody thinks

181
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 3: about it anymore. Mike, It's not important. And like I said,

182
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 3: if you're gonna put your body through that much stuff,

183
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 3: you deserve to go ahead and heal as fast as

184
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 3: possible to get back to the field, and whatever doctor says,

185
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 3: do it. Then it's not like you're, you know, putting

186
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 3: you should put bad things in your body. These are

187
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 3: all healthy things and good things to make key heals.

188
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 3: So I just don't think people care anymore. That's why

189
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 3: maybe he's walking it back. Maybe it's because he was

190
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 3: gonna get sued. But I'm on the Bron's side on this.

191
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody cares what he you know, he

192
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 3: should do whatever it is good for his body.

193
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 2: All right, So he's hijacked the show once. Keep that

194
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 2: score count over there to saga. As we get through

195
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 2: the night, we'll have the we'll ring the bell each

196
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 2: and every time. I wanted to talk about labor strife,

197
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: instead we go down this twisted road. But no, I

198
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 2: mean yesterday, look, we commemorated the life and life and

199
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: times wrestling in particular and Master Thespian that of Hulk Hogan.

200
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: Tonight they did the big ten bell salute his part

201
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 2: of SmackDown. But to that point, plenty of stuff back

202
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: in the day with Hogan, uh and substances which mayor

203
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 2: you know, not just training, saying your prayers and eating

204
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 2: your vitamins, but a big thing. And there's plenty of

205
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: documentaries on it through it all in the ends, that

206
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 2: bridge between sports and entertainment and trying to figure out

207
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 2: where the lines are. And certainly we've seen we'll commemorate

208
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame inductions this week, and every year

209
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: it becomes the same question of all right, you leave

210
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 2: certain people out, and then you've got the other guys

211
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: who might have been better to the media or maybe

212
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 2: had a better reputation weren't a jerk and dismissive of

213
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 2: some questions in the clubhouse. They're the ones that get

214
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 2: left out. And then you've got a couple of other

215
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 2: guys that are like, well maybe, but hey they're in,

216
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: and you know they get voted in. And I think

217
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 2: you all immediately as I'm saying that, you get one, two,

218
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: maybe eight names of the last twenty years that suddenly

219
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 2: pop into your brain. But it's all to your point,

220
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: aren't you in the end, if it's going to get

221
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 2: a player back on the field and our all stars

222
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: are there and available, something we complain about ad nauseum,

223
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 2: particularly during the NBA season, that you know, there is

224
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 2: something to be said for what availability is the best

225
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 2: ability that.

226
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 3: Our audience cares?

227
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 2: Do you think our people think in general? Ashle And no,

228
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: I think I think there is. I think there is

229
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 2: to a point, right, you know, the sense of fair play, truth,

230
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 2: justice in the American way and all that. I'm watching

231
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: Superman in between all my baseball games here. But all

232
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: of that to say that you're you're trying to figure out,

233
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 2: you know, the quote level playing field, which, let's face it,

234
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 2: from day one, as soon as you put on a

235
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 2: pair of cleats, grab a bat whatever. Look science and

236
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 2: genealogy is you're already having problems there.

237
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 3: There's no correlation.

238
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 4: Day.

239
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no correlation between you know, taking a steroid

240
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 3: and saying that you're gonna hit more home runs. Otherwise

241
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 3: everybody would be doing it, and a lot of people

242
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 3: were doing it. I just think now people just want

243
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 3: to see their favorite athletes, They want to see big

244
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 3: time athletes. The way to do that is, you know,

245
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 3: just keep yourself healthy. That's tough, man. You see what

246
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 3: these do football players go through. You used to what's like.

247
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 2: Football, nobody ever cared. Occasionally you'd have to nab somebody

248
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 2: who didn't followed the protocol right calendar, and they would

249
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 2: get popped or occasionally the wrong thing at the wrong time,

250
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 2: and you'd have, you know, the sacrificial lamb. But I

251
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 2: mean football, You know, I think we've all just kind

252
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 2: of shrugged and laughed at that for a long time.

253
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: I cast, why do you think we stopped texting testing?

254
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 3: Why do you think we stopped testing from marijuana in

255
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 3: the NBA and in all sports?

256
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 2: Huh, Well, it also got legalized in the vast majority

257
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 2: of states, so you know, to that end, it became

258
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 2: a wait, this is helping guys fight through their pains

259
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 2: and issues. Yeah, let's go. So yeah, not the topic

260
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 2: I was planning to start with. I was celebrating the

261
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 2: great American pastime in another way, but well we we

262
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: roped it back in with some Hall of fame and

263
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 2: with some of the chaos, uh and rumor conjecture speculation.

264
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 2: Uh so you ended up getting that in shoehorning that

265
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 2: topic into the show. So take the w There you

266
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 2: get your last one of the nights. Put you unnoticed, now, paal.

267
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 3: Okay, there you go. I won't steer us into a

268
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 3: ditch anymore.

269
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 2: And I'm watching the White Sox and the Cubs. One

270
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: of the great innovations of our time. Uh the White

271
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: Sox wearing what looked like bulls uniforms.

272
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 3: Is that on the MLB network? Is that what you're

273
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 3: watching on?

274
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 2: Ummm no, I think I think this one's just your normal.

278
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 2: buck or don't watch. Well, it's upon a time you

279
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 2: got like three games a week. Is that what it got?

280
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 2: The hell up?

281
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 3: Is that what it caught? How much does it cost

282
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 3: from I don't even know.

283
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,560

286
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 2: isn't gonna work. You know. It's part of the larger

287
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 2: move topic. I was trying trying to get to and

288
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 2: tease with you. Here is Arnie's on the move, So

289
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 2: we're gonna try to help his sports life along the way.

290
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 2: Hashtag fire on the Mountain at Fox Sports Radio at

291
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: Stinking Genius one. That's what we're doing for that as

292
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 2: we try to navigate that. But no, the White Sox

293
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 2: went and they found a nice hybrid of some of

294
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 2: their their colors and logos. Add to the bulls with

295
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: the black and the red, and you come up with

296
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 2: something that looks pretty pretty good. They also have a

297
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: promotion that I saw on ad for during this game,

298
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:47,680

Speaker 3: So during the change in a game that's aveck.

303
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 2: Dig Well, it screams you, and it screams our guy

304
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 2: Andy Furman back there in Cincinnati. We love some of

305
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 2: the stuff Andy used to do at the rest stating.

306
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 2: All right, we'll get back into strikes and some of

307
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: the chaos going around our world because we also reached

308
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 2: an agreement with a long standing holdout. See, Mike Brown

309

332
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,480

00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 2: span your get on it. As we continue, we got

369
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 2: a full slate of Major League Baseball rolling around, but

370
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 2: we talked about the new piece of information going across

371
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 2: the National Football League as training cancer underway. We'll get

372
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 2: to Arnie's Dolphins because he's got to have his say

373
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 2: about the slap fight and trying to, you know, get

374
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 2: guys you know you feel. Can we get you comfortable here?

375
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 2: Let's do some icebreaker sessions here to and Tyreek not

376
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: like you haven't played together for a couple of years.

377
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 3: I don't know what that's all about, to be honest,

378
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 3: what's going on?

379
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 6: Then?

380
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 2: Well, Tyreek Hill was saying, I'm out of here and

381
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 2: I want to trade. What do you mean? What do

382
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 2: you you remember that? But finally, the last of the

383
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 2: first round holdouts as signed his deal earlier this week

384
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 2: with Lega. The quote from Mike Brown, and folks heard

385
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 2: that in all sorts of different ways to me, I

386
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 2: tried to pull back and go to business pragmatism. Of all, right,

387
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 2: if I am a business owner and I have a

388
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,479
Speaker 2: guy who's unavailable to me, why should I still have

389
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 2: to guarantee a bunch of money seems kind of logical. Well,

390
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:25,479
Speaker 2: today they found common ground. Stewart signs the deal that

391
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 2: includes said language. I would void future guarantees if he's

392
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 2: unavailable and breaks the terms of the contract and what's

393
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 2: been laid out in the CBA. Here's a new quote.

394
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 2: But what happens is he gets himself an extra half

395
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 2: a million dollars earlier in the process. And I think,

396
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 2: you know, commerheads prevail of all right, maybe it's it's

397
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 2: a little uncomfortable to have those conversations. Jerry Jones had, Hey,

398
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 2: if I'm signing a guy, how do I know he

399
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: not doesn't get hit by a bus. So both guys

400
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: just decided, well, you're gonna take that road. I'm gonna

401
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 2: take this road, and we'll meet where we meet. But

402
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 2: the deal that reaches out is that the Bengals adjust

403
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 2: the signing bonus payout, giving him an extra five hundred

404
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 2: thousand of his signing bonus now in exchange for having

405
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 2: that new language, which probably becomes more boiler plate once

406
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 2: it's enacted, and other teams will do the same again,

407
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: trying to make sure you have protections, and it's not

408
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 2: it's unfortunate that you have a guy that has to

409
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 2: become the poster boy, poster child, whatever term the player

410
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 2: that this gets identified with. But it's language that from

411
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 2: a again business pragmatism seems to make sense. And stay

412
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 2: out of trouble, you get your money.

413
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 3: But well, you know what exactly the stay out of

414
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 3: trouble me And I'm gonna ask you that for a

415
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 3: full four year fully guaranteed. Like what would people say,

416
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 3: Just don't go to jail. Just don't go to jail

417
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 3: and you'll be fined. So let me get let me

418
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 3: just get this straight. Mike Carmon leaves his house, You

419
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 3: forget your U because you're running to the seven eleven.

420
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 3: You get to the seven eleven, you get pulled over.

421
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 3: You can't identify your sure because you don't have your wallet. Well,

422
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 3: if you can't identify yourself, you automatically get put in

423
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 3: the handcuffs. Right, you gotta go to you gotta go

424
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 3: to the local prews.

425
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 2: Maybe I've I got a syrup ee tongue and then

426
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 2: you know, I could probably talk my way.

427
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 3: You're not talking anything out. You're going to jail next thing.

428
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 7: You know.

429
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 3: You're in the local precinct. Just because you forgot your

430
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 3: wallet and you're on the seven eleven. I know it

431
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 3: doesn't sound like a big deal, but does that mean

432
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 3: you could no and void a contract because you semi

433
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 3: got arrested or you got to take it in.

434
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 2: I don't know.

435
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 3: It's a little too much, and I think what the

436
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 3: Bengals were asking was just a little egregious. I'm glad

437
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 3: he got his deal. I'm glad he got the extra

438
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 3: half million. I'm got to get the four year guaranteed.

439
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 3: Remember when back in football, back in the day, forget

440
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 3: about guaranteeing anything, right, you remember the day.

441
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 2: I mean that that is a very substantive change these

442
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 2: last couple of years, the size of gearanteed money when

443
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 2: we're talking about the top end players in the league,

444
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 2: but certainly the slotting system for rookies and coming in

445
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 2: the fact that you've only got one guy who isn't

446
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 2: signed in the second round and guess what, he's got

447
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 2: legal problems right right, So there you go in terms

448
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 2: of these processes. But certainly there are plenty of instances

449
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 2: and we'll get to the union stuff next hour sometime.

450
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 2: With all the chaos ensuing there, any grievances, etc. They

451
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 2: have enough people. I mean, they've got plenty of lawyers

452
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 2: on command, but anybody in leadership that's actually going to

453
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 2: be able to fight on their behalfs No, it's going

454
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 2: to get passed to the legal room completely because you've

455
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 2: got all of this chaos. But go back to Christian

456
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 2: Wilkins in the Raiders, right, he didn't want to have

457
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 2: another surgery. So what did Pete Carroll do? What Pete

458
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 2: Carroll does, All right, let's talk about this. You've got

459
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 2: a new front office and said, all right, if he's

460
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 2: not going to go through this process and this is

461
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 2: the course of action, we'll fight about it. Eventually he'll

462
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 2: probably get some more of that. I was gonna say,

463
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 2: point a few million dollars, but I.

464
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 3: Don't think he's not gonna get any money. If you

465
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 3: think that you've heard the last of this year, no yourself.

466
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 4: No.

467
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 2: But it's also the type of thing where the teams

468
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 2: are looking to protect themselves, and in this case, he

469
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 2: missed all but five games a year ago, was probably

470
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 2: not going to be available anytime soon here, so it

471
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 2: becomes a hey, it's a sunk cost. Let's move on

472
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,959
Speaker 2: and push into the next sphere and pay out what

473
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 2: we need to and eventually they'll go to an arbiter

474
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 2: and they'll they'll figure it out. But in the interim,

475
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 2: I mean, that's along the lines of what we're talking

476
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 2: about here with Stuart. It's just rarity. When you're starting

477
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 2: to get into the language of a rookie contract, those

478
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 2: have usually been pretty boilerplate. Sign on the dotted line.

479
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 2: Here's where that guy ahead of you, you know, signed for.

480
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 2: Here's what the two guys behind you signed for. And

481
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 2: we find ourselves somewhere nicely in the middle there. In

482
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 2: this case, now it became a little bit of fight

483
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 2: over language. And I think if it was a team

484
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 2: that wasn't the Bengals, it might have been met much differently.

485
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 3: Right and by the way, taking a step backwards and

486
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 3: tell me you wouldn't if you know, if you're a fan,

487
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 3: if you can give this guy a shot or a

488
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 3: pill or something to get back and get over his

489
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 3: injuries like a steroid, you know, would anybody be against it.

490
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 3: There wouldn't be anybody against it. They'd say, fine, let's

491
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 3: do it. Let's get this guy back out there. Whether

492
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 3: you're a fan of his or not. I just want

493
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 3: to go in and throw that back in there because

494
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 3: that ties into what we're talking about in the first segment.

495
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 3: But you're right, look at least he got his four

496
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 3: year guaranteed. I'm happy about that. You know, sometimes I

497
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 3: think these contract negotiations is really about you know, ego

498
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 3: and the owners, thinking that.

499
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 2: You've worked in media all these years and negotiated how

500
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 2: many contracts an ego?

501
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 3: Yes, you know some of them. I'll never forget Mike,

502
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 3: some of them to this day. To this day, I

503
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 3: hold a grudge. I remember bad In, owner of one

504
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 3: of the networks, just him and I going at it,

505
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 3: and it still scars me today, to be honest with you,

506
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 3: because we didn't have agents back then, not for radio personalities.

507
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 3: We were doing the best weekend and you know, to

508
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 3: this day those negotiation and I'm not really much of

509
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 3: a guy that you know, stands by I'll cave in

510
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 3: on the extra money or something. But this guy just

511
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,360
Speaker 3: got me going. And I can understand. You know, if

512
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 3: you don't have representation, it's got to suck. But I'm

513
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 3: glad at least got his four year guaranteed.

514
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 2: To be well, the big thing right when you get

515
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 2: to the representation and look I'll do the full disclosure.

516
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 2: I don't have one, and I've certainly had plenty of

517
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 2: conversations where I remember phrases that have been thrown in

518
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 2: my general direction. And those folks out there know who

519
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 2: they are. It's the kind of area you smile and

520
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 2: you have to make your decision of you know what

521
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 2: you value and when you're going to pull out the proverbial.

522
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 2: Once upon a time in Hollywood flamethrower like Leo Dicapri,

523
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 2: George said things those most of the time, it's most

524
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 2: of the time, it's not. It's not what you want

525
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 2: to do. Now, what the agent's job is. They're the

526
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 2: one that softened the message, right, they get the harsh treatment,

527
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 2: they get the this is what your client isn't doing

528
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 2: quite as well as maybe you think they are in

529
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 2: terms of the number you're asking for. And then you

530
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 2: push from there when you're you're talking about the the

531
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 2: Bengals and and again Mike Brown might have raise his

532
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 2: hand on on conference calls or at the local club

533
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 2: as they're taking a you know, it's taking a steam

534
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 2: and just said, well, everybody hates me anyway, so I'll

535
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 2: be the old guy, right. I mean, look, he's already

536
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 2: been accused of everything and I use the term frugal, uh,

537
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 2: you know, but being cheap and what he's done through

538
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 2: the years running that organization, even though he's paid now

539
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 2: the wide receivers and now.

540
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 7: Studid you know what ext but because of but because

541
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 7: of the age of a guy that once upon a time,

542
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 7: I'm guaranteed money didn't exist at all.

543
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 2: Right, right, all right, here's your signing bonus when you

544
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 2: first sign your deal. That's it.

545
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 3: Uh.

546
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 2: And then you know all the logistics and hurdles to

547
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 2: get have people try to fight. I mean, how many

548
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 2: times did Al Davis have coaches suing him because he

549
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 2: fired and you want to cut a check? Right, But

550
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 2: for players now it's a different world. You've got more

551
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 2: power going back to college and all the way through

552
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 2: to where those guarantees. Even for folks coming into the

553
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 2: league now you don't get the Sam Bradford forty million

554
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 2: dollar check like you did once upon a time that

555
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 2: everybody fought and in the veterans you know, got some

556
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 2: more power in that regard. But in terms of these

557
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 2: signing bonuses, uh, and guarantees as a higher percentage of

558
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 2: the contracts, I'm sure owners that have been around a while,

559
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 2: they're not too keen on that. So wherever they can

560
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 2: still try to rest some level of power, they're going

561
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: to do it.

562
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 3: You know, I know everything's slotted now, but I'm just

563
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 3: interested now that college athletes get nia. So they're not

564
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 3: coming into the at least the good players, the first

565
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 3: round players are not coming into the NFL absolutely broke.

566
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 3: They're coming in with millions of dollars perhaps there, you

567
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 3: know what I mean, Mike, I'm wondering if that helps

568
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 3: the NFL and negotiations where these guys are not so

569
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 3: desperate for money that they're like, Okay, you know, we

570
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 3: don't care about this year being guaranteed or you know

571
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 3: this extra boat.

572
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 2: No, I think it absolutely works the other way. Oh well,

573
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: because as a group, assuming they want to go down

574
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 2: this path and owing back to the story.

575
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 3: That they won't trumble, they won't.

576
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 2: Trumble, right because they then they can fight about language

577
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 2: like this perhaps a little bit more I don't know,

578
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 2: to enact this as a group. Maybe as a group

579
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 2: they go, hey, you know what, I can I can

580
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 2: wait this out and we can fight this a little

581
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 2: more the.

582
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,959
Speaker 3: Way Mike, if I if I want a five year guaranteed,

583
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 3: and they said, we'll give you a four year if

584
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 3: we're separated by twenty thousand. I'm like, ah, you know

585
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 3: I got money from the nil. I'm okay, I'll be fine.

586
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 3: I'm thinking about it the other way. You may be right,

587
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 3: but I have the other way.

588
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 2: It thinks, Well, it's how you approach it, though, right

589
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 2: is the all right, I'm a year faster towards free agency,

590
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 2: right in your case, right, if it's four years versus five.

591
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 2: But you know, if it's guaranteed money, then I may

592
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 2: want that fifth year, particularly if I'm at a position

593
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 2: where the attrition, like a running back or such is

594
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 2: pretty high. But as a group, perhaps this is where

595
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 2: you have, you know, one of the few times where

596
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 2: you'd have a group of players truly unified. Because what

597
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 2: we have with the PA, which is part of the

598
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 2: substant problems that they have, is the large strata between

599
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 2: a sixty million dollars a year quarterback and you know,

600
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 2: half of your roster that's making near to nothing. Well,

601
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 2: but you know what I mean, like where where that

602
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 2: you have such a divide that you're not fighting for

603
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 2: the same things, right, right? The people that project to

604
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 2: a fifteen year career versus we see that tail it

605
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 2: is very long. We could do that whole average three

606
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 2: and a half year nonsense that people love to do.

607
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 2: The reality is so many guys passed through get a

608
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 2: cup of coffee. What do they get for their efforts? Well,

609
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 2: they get a couple of nice checks maybe along the way,

610
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 2: maybe they get to bounce around a little bit, and

611
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 2: they collect a couple of helmets and jerseys. Beyond that,

612
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 2: they're not guaranteed a whole lot of any Well.

613
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,959
Speaker 3: No, they at least they get healthcare. Now, you can

614
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 3: remember the day where they wouldn't even get healthcare. They

615
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 3: were they were fighting for that out there.

Speaker 6: teammate Jordi Alba. Back team, We're gonna stay with that.

678
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,240
Speaker 6: When a league can't get out of its own way,

679
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 6: the team which belongs to the league says, no, we

680
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 6: told them to take the time off. You're scheduling us

681

Speaker 6: for so many games.

682
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 2: Immediacy we talk about with the WNBA all the time

683
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 2: and the newness of it all. MLS been around a minute,

684
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 2: Still don't know how to handle a little bit of

685
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 2: success and positivity. Steve Disager at the News desk, I

686
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 2: would be remiss. The left side strong side Avon Barksdale

687
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 2: from the wire, and of course remember the Titans Wood

688
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 2: Harris throughout the first pitch in that white Sox uniform.

689
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,360

00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 2: the Cubs twelve five your final coming up next, we

691
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 2: do turn to the MLS. Yeah, the rare MLS story

692
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,240
Speaker 2: because Lionel Messi kind of a big deal and telling

693
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 2: him he's got to take his ball and go home

694
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,520

Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you.

714
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 2: That's pathetic. For over forty years, tyre Rack's been helping

715
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 2: drospers find the right tires for how, what and where

716
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,359

00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 2: hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation.

718

Speaker 2: That's right, they'll bring him to you tire rack dot com.

719
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 2: The way tire buying should be, Chris Plank, He'll be

720
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 2: up after us tonight at eleven o'clock Pacific time. He

721
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 2: liked when I said eleven o'clock Pacific and sounded like

722
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 2: it was much earlier, as opposed to you know, one

723
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:19,280
Speaker 2: o'clock Oklahoma time. Now, Steve had it in his news

724
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 2: items there, little MESSI one of the games all time Great.

725
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 2: You want to talk about chaos, you know, I love

726
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 2: my sports cards and collectible. Little controversy over some of

727
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 2: the signatures that have shown up in product as to

728
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 2: you know, whether he or someone close to him signed

729
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 2: some of the stuff. But that's neither here or there

730
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 2: for this argument. It's about the MLS All Star Game

731
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 2: and participation thereof Well, MESSI told by the team, told

732
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 2: by Miami, you don't have to do any of that stuff.

733
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 2: Go home, you and and Jordi Alba, I think you

734
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 2: should just take some time to heal. See. I got

735
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 2: our Darren Waller while I was at it. But they've

736
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 2: now been suspended for a game because of their lack

737
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 2: of receiving permission or feigning injury and just saying, you

738
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 2: know what, we need a little time away, a little

739
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 2: time in the hectic pace and the schedule that's been

740
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 2: out here. You've got to fatigue, which has been an

741
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 2: issue across the league. We watch guys, you know, some

742
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 2: of their time on field has been cut, getting substituted

743
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 2: for earlier you hit that part of the schedule. Baseball,

744
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 2: it's always hey, the dog days of August, we're suddenly

745
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 2: an extra day off here during a challenging portion of

746
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 2: the schedule where you don't have the scheduled day off

747
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 2: and you don't necessarily get the travel day. Sometimes that

748
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 2: suddenly it becomes that guy just needs it and needs

749
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 2: a breather. It's like, is he hurt? No, so sorry,

750
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 2: little Johnny and Susie in the third deck don't get

751
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 2: to see him. But a way you go. The commissioner said, well,

752
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 2: I knowledge, you know, the commitment to enter Miami and

753
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 2: the demanding schedule, but for now, you you got to

754
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 2: sit this game out. We'll look at it going forward,

755
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 2: but you've got to sit this game. You got to

756
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 2: get out of your own way here, right.

757
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 3: I'm with do do you think he should not have

758
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 3: gotten one game?

759
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 2: I don't think he should have gotten suspended. In the end,

760
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 2: they all start with different people, right, isn't that the

761
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:22,760
Speaker 2: way life works?

762
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 3: Yeah?

763
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 2: But isn't that the way life works?

764
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 3: No?

765
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 2: Hardy, I mean, you got what's more important that he

766
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 2: comes out and he and he kisses the ass of

767
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 2: some sponsors at the at the All Star Game and

768
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 2: waves his little hand game.

769
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 3: I thought there were fans of the game. That's my battle.

770
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 6: No.

771
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 2: But but again, if he goes out there and he

772
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 2: plays five minutes and then sits down, what's worse? Is that? Great?

773
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 2: I got to see him on the field and take

774
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 2: a picture.

775
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 3: Now, I not if you go ahead and go, you know,

776
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 3: take pictures with the fans, sign autographs. I don't, you know,

777
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 3: Mike too many times, and whether it's in soccer or

778
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 3: you know, I don't know how many times it happens there.

779
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 3: But whether it's in the NBA with load management or

780
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 3: just the attitude of players in the NFL, you know,

781
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 3: give back to the fans. They pay a lot of money, man, Relax,

782
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 3: you know, a lot of money comes out of their pocket,

783
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 3: and people are not rich. They spend that money to

784
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 3: go ahead and enjoy the experience and to see their

785
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 3: favorite players. At least give back a little bit, you

786
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 3: know what I mean? A little bit that you've been

787
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 3: able to enjoy such a luxury life because of what

788
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 3: these fans have given them to your sports.

789
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 2: I have no problem with that. I just say on

790
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 2: the larger scale, the fact that we call the guys

791
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,839
Speaker 2: to task and in the end you can talk about

792
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 2: scheduling and look, I get it. The NBA, it's the

793
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 2: long standing. Hey, this guy only comes into town once

794
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 2: a year. It's unfortunate, but in the end, you're paying

795
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 2: for laundry. Now, you could go in and talk about

796
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 2: fraudulent advertising practices. If suddenly it's a hey, here's your

797
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 2: only shot to see Lebron James, come in and see him.

798
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 2: I used him. I had partial season ticket package for

799
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 2: the Lakers. No, no, no, I had it a few

800
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 2: years ago when towards the end of Kobe Bryants run,

801
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 2: I saw him in a suit twice. Those were the

802
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 2: two of the six games. The other four games he

803
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 2: didn't even come to the arena. Yet. I complain about

804
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 2: no because I knew the risk that that was what

805
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 2: he was doing. So you get over it, right, and

806
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,240
Speaker 2: in the end, you make your choices with your money,

807
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 2: and sometimes you lose, you know.

808
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 3: I wish athletes would be more cognizant about the fans nowadays.

809
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 3: They were back twenty thirty years ago.

810
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 2: They had no power, Arnie what they had no power,

811
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,959
Speaker 2: So it became the you have to play.

812
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 3: You're one hundred percent right. They had no power back then.

813
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 3: Now it's like, we'll take a little management and the

814
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 3: fans are not as as important as television rights.

815
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 2: Well, but it all plays together. Who's he beholden to

816
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 2: a playing in an All Star game or being available

817
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 2: for Inner Miami being available for Inner Miami. So the

818
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 2: extra days off probably helped. Hey a ticket scale handle.

819
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 2: Next
