18
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: Cowboys coming up in a second, his boy, the war

19
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: of words already going on between the Cowboys and Packers

20
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: ahead of Micah Parsons Bowl on Sunday. But we know

21
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: we had the conversation a couple minutes ago about how, look,

22
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: the one team that should go after a quarterback are

23
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: the Browns. Forget about this Sanders and Gabriel and all

24
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: this crap happening right now. They're great, lights out defense.

25
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 1: If they had any production whatsoever at quarterback, they would

26
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: be two and one. And it's a watered down It's

27
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: a bad afc North right. The Ravens defense is terrible.

28
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: The Bengals have no Joe Burrow for for most of

29
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: the rest of the season, and Pittsburgh is just kind

30
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: of okay, right, be bold, go get a quarterback now.

31
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: You threw out there Russell Wilson a few minutes ago,

32
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: and I said, no, they need to go get a quarterback.

33
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 3: Okay, just understand I need to get.

34
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 4: A something there because because look, and now the battle

35
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 4: for Ohio also extends to we need a new quarterback.

36
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

37
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: Uh, Now, the two guys that I'll give you two

38
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: names that they can now, there's no there's no sure

39
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: fire antswer out there. There's and and teams aren't just

40
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: going to trade the backup quarterback just because right, like

41
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: the Rams aren't gonna trade Jimmy Garoppolo because he's not

42
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: starting right the Red Hey, no, we have hopes and

43
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: dreams and if something happens to Stafford, we feel pretty

44
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: good with Jimmy Garoppolo coming in, right, So it's got

45
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: to be the right kind of situation where the team

46
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: can part with a quarterback that has some talent. Right now,

47
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: you're taking a bit of a risk, but this is

48
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: a risk just for this year. You can start over

49
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: again after this year if you don't like it. The

50
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks you can go after right that, I know

51
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: we'll get that are gonna be available that you can

52
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: get a lot for the first ones in the AFC,

53
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: And it's Anthony Richardson because you know with Daniel Jones's start,

54
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 1: they're ready to hand that. You have it now, Daniel,

55
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: you're the Sam Darnold of twenty twenty five. Man, we

56
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: love you, and the further we could get removed from

57
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, the better we are.

58
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 5: Now.

59
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: Yes, you worry about Daniel Jones getting hurt and Richardson

60
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: coming in, but you know Richardson's a sunk cost at

61
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: this point, right, I mean, you know you're not going

62
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: forward with him.

63
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 3: He's not gonna suddenly win the job. Next year. You

64
00:02:59,040 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: see how well.

65
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: Joan just playing his first three games, but Richardson has

66
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: flashed before. If he can stay healthy and a change

67
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: of scenery with a really good offensive coach and Kevin Stefanski. Yeah,

68
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson's a guy that isla, Hey bring him in

69
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: and see I know you could say that, well it's

70
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: a rit, yeah, but I know it's a risk. It

71
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: has upside because I've seen him have games where boy,

72
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: for three quarters, Anthony Richard's been terrible and then in

73
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 1: a seven minute span it's it's two touchdowns in a

74
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: field goal and all of a sudden, it's seventeen seventeen.

75
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: Like that's a risk that you could take. And the Colts,

76
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: I'm sure will want to move on and say, okay,

77
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: we're in on Daniel Jones, that the Anthony Richard era

78
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: is over and we're going forward. I'm sure he would

79
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: be available.

80
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, what's the risk.

81
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 4: I mean, it ain't gonna cost you much to bring

82
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 4: him in, all right, For the Colts, when as soon

83
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 4: as they paid Daniel Jones the money they did to

84
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 4: bring him in, you knew it was a done deal.

85
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 4: And now you're at a point where he's easier break

86
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 4: glass in case of emergency. You didn't want him, all right,

87
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 4: that's why you went into the market. Play is to

88
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 4: bring in another distressed property that you saw could be

89
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 4: a positive in your offense in Daniel Jones. So yeah,

90
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 4: you shuffle him off. But I don't think the asking

91
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: price is gonna.

92
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 3: Be too high.

93
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 4: How many other quarterbacks are really out there that are

94
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 4: viable started? I mean, I don't know that I necessarily

95
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 4: want him to bring him in. Is he better than

96
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 4: what I'm putting out there? Is he gonna be better

97
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 4: than Joe Flacco? I mean, I guess he could make

98
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 4: a player or two with his legs, But then he's

99
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 4: gonna be tired, he's gonna go off the field.

100
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 6: Yeah.

101
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: But there also he also is a guy that needs

102
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: a change of scenery, no needs to be able to

103
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: get someplace else. And if you're going, you know that

104
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: that's a guy who was eminently available, because you know,

105
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: the Colts have itchy, itchy fingers to say, hey, we

106
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: want to make a move, We really don't want this

107
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: to sit here anymore.

108
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: And Richardson has flash.

109
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: I've seen him do it, and again, maybe he's learned

110
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: a lot like, look, this whole summer, the competition was

111
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: really close, no matter who I I I read about

112
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: or talked to. Hey, no, this is a close competition.

113
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: Richardson has look good. They just feel better with Daniel

114
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: Jones because of the way the offense is.

115
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 3: Now.

116
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: But but beat writers would have come out and said, hey,

117
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: Richardson looks terrible. Richardson, don't listen to that. Like all

118
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: the beat writers, the guy's covering practices. Also, this is

119
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: a really close competition, And you could say it was

120
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: kind of rigged as a competition because clearly, yeah, unless

121
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: Richardson is terrific, we're gonna give the job to Jones

122
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: because we've seen him succeed in this kind of offense before,

123
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: so let's do it. But like now, it's the point, Okay,

124
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: as talented as Richardson is, yeah, it's just not working here.

125
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: And he's got no future in Indianapolis. He may have

126
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: one in Cleveland, and I mean, look, it may not work,

127
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: but I know it's better than what they got. Would

128
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: Flacco out there right now, and like I said, at

129
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: least the very least, he'll make plays with his legs

130
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: and he'll be a little bit more dynamic than Flaka was.

131
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 3: At this point.

132
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 4: Maybe he gives you a little opportunity to uncork some

133
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 4: stuff downfield. When you look at Tilm and you look

134
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 4: at Jerry Judy and some of the wide receivers you've got,

135
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 4: you've got a couple of pretty good tight ends there

136
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 4: to utilize as well. So clearly you've got a lot

137
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 4: of problems. You're offensively, how should we be kind deficient

138
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 4: at this point? And now you've got Judkins gave you

139
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 4: a little bit of juice in the backfield. We'll see

140
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 4: what he can do going forward. But yeah, trying to

141
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 4: goose this in the trademark. And I'm curious who else?

142
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 4: Who else are you on earthing from a roster.

143
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: The other guy i'm telling you here is Caleb, But no,

144
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: the other guy i'm telling you here available that has

145
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: flashed a little bit, is a little dynamic, makes plays

146
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: with his legs. And you know they want to move

147
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: on to the guy they drafted this year. Go get

148
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: Spencer Rattler from the Saints. Right, at some point they

149
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: got to play Tyler shuck, right, they have to. He

150
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: came in, he played a little bit this past week.

151
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: Rattler has done enough he's moved the team enough. He

152
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: has shown that hey he's not completely overwhelmed, and yes,

153
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: he can make plays with his legs.

154
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 3: He's had a couple of big games. Is he great?

155
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: No, But I know he can give you that little

156
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: bit of juice and be again that I keep saying dynamic,

157
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: because that's what the Browns offense needs. He's someone that's

158
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: available simply because you know, after this year, the Saints

159
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: are gonna go after another quarterback. They're in a stuck

160
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: place right now with Derek Carr's contract and what they

161
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: want to wind up doing. And you know at some point, well,

162
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: we drafted Tyler Schuck in the second round. He's got

163
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: to get a chance. It's we're zero to three. That's

164
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: coming sooner rather than later. So yeah, if we started

165
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: Tyler Schuck, we're gonna go back to Spencer Ratley. No,

166
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: we can get something for Spencer Ratler. So okay, we

167
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: go and worse comes to worst, we tank and we're

168
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: drafting arch Manning.

169
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 4: At the end of this year and lets the Jets

170
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 4: get them first, right, So stay and beat the Giants first.

171
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 4: Since that was the game everybody had circled the whole

172
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 4: time going we're gonna beat that ass when it well.

173
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 3: We play that game.

174
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 4: They've been mocking us and everybody's been pointing to that

175
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 4: game for two months.

176
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, you're looking at you look at those two

177
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: guys that are young, that have talent that again can

178
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: get outside the pocket. They're two players that yeah, those

179
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: are you, and it's it's not gonna be very expensive

180
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: to go get them each team.

181
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 3: Would you almost be doing them.

182
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: A favor doing this because you know they're gonna make

183
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: the move anyway. Go make it now, Go make it

184
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: down in two weeks, you got Rattler Richardson's starting for

185
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: you and suddenly, hey, and if they don't work out, okay,

186
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: then you can go to Dylan Gabriel. Then you can

187
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: go to Shador Sanders. Like these are guys that have

188
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: done it on the field in the NFL at a

189
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: young age. Go do something that helps your team out

190
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: right now, do you give them a give them a

191
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: little bit of hey, we got your back here. We're

192
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: not just gonna let you defense. We're not gonna let

193
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: you just go out there every week and give up

194
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: fourteen points and we lose fourteen thirteen. We're not gonna

195
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: do that to you, like, really, you can contend this

196
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: year because the AFC North is bad. I mean, really,

197
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: you've shown enough in the first three weeks how good

198
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: this defense is. Keep it going, man, People do something,

199
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: Do something to help help out, Help out a fan

200
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: base that's been starved for all sorts of good news

201
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: for the past well, I don't know, twenty five years.

202
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 3: Go help out that fan base. What just so they

203
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 3: have a new story on the back of the fish wrap.

204
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know. They're a little bit

205
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 3: of help. I don't know that rich.

206
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 7: Hey, let's have a in the town square over their arrival.

207
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 7: It's different, it's different, and I know if I hear something,

208
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 7: even if it's wrong. If I know, okay, if I

209
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 7: know what I have in my right hand isn't working right.

210
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 7: If I have a video game control in my right

211
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 7: hand that I know is broken, it's broken.

212
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: I can't use it. What about the video game control

213
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: on your left hand? I have no idea. I have

214
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: no idea. Someone just put it in my head. It

215
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: could be broken. It could be broken worse than this one,

216
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: but it could be working great. I don't know, but

217
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: I know the one in my right hand is broken,

218
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: so why wouldn't I try to use the one in

219
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 1: the left hand?

220
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 3: I give you, I give you credit. You could have

221
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 3: just said I can have this.

222
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 4: Or what's in the box. So you got a little

223
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 4: more creative with the video game. I noticed that you

224
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 4: didn't go to the high price end where it might

225
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 4: be a lot more complicated to make something happen. But

226
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 4: a guy whose team suddenly needs him, and that's whole

227
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 4: Captain Kirk.

228
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: You know, if I didn't hear all those stories the

229
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: last few days about how, dude, we think Kirk Cousins

230
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: is done, and really the league is telling you they

231
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: think he has done because there's no talk. There's not

232
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: been one team that has called. Because normally by now

233
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: we would get that, Hey sources Vikings called for Kirk

234
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 1: Cousins in the preseason or Raiders call about Kirk Cousins

235
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: in the offseason. There's been no teams. There's been no

236
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: uh talk at all. No, Hey, we're gonna want to

237
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: look into this. What can we do money wise? Would

238
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: you eat money for Kirk Cousins? And clearly the Falcons

239
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: would do it, right, Hey, we decided to go on

240
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: all in on Michael Pennix. So the fact that we

241
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: haven't I haven't heard anything from any team at any

242
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: point in the last I don't know, six months on

243
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins tells me the entire league thinks he's done.

244
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 4: I think some of it was you needed proof of

245
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 4: concept of where he was physically in the process. But

246
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 4: it's also the curiosity of where they're at. Given the

247
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 4: first couple of games we've watched from Michael Pennix junior.

248
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he uh, he's not he's not uh, he's not.

249
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 4: Uh, he's not good, right, especially the expectations of this squad, Yeah,

250
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 4: not good. Right, that it was gonna they were gonna

251
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 4: go and they were gonna win the South running away

252
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 4: and I said, I said, not so fast, thinking that

253
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 4: you still got to run through the through the Buccaneers.

254
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 4: But here you have it that Pennix had one solid

255
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 4: game and then it's been a bit ugly.

256
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 3: Uh.

257
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 4: And when you get shut out, what do we get

258
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 4: less than ten of those a year anymore? Right, you

259
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 4: get shut out by the Panthers, it's pretty pretty bad

260
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 4: indictment of where your squad is right now. Just despite

261
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 4: all the headliners on the Marquee, I mean.

262
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 3: So these are two guys you can go get.

263
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: I like it, I mean be but you know help right,

264
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: like go to and you don't put anything at risk.

265
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 3: That's the best part is that. What about get oh Man?

266
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you might have to wait another couple of

267
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: weeks if the if the Dolphins lose to the Jets

268
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: on Monday night, I know, we decided we're not gonna

269
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: mention that game because we want people to watch Monday

270
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: night football. Yeah, there's two games, two games on Monday.

271
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 3: Don't worry about off day for Major League Baseball. Yeah,

272
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 3: we'll just make stuff playoffs. Yeah, we'll make stuff up.

273
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 3: I will make it up.

274
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: But if they lose to the Jets, I wonder how

275
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 1: available I got. But then you're worried about getting into

276
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: the money for TUA. It needs to be something where

277
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: the Browns can say our long term plans, meaning after

278
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: this year, are unaffected, but we can still kind of

279
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: go for it this year because maybe arch Manning isn't great, right,

280
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: we've seen it. Maybe he's not the guy we should

281
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: thank for. Maybe Lenora Sellers is really good, maybe he's not.

282
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: Maybe Garrett nuss Meyer's great, maybe he's not. But it

283
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. We can try to go for it this

284
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 1: year and if it doesn't work, okay, let's good. We're

285
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: we're still starting over next year with a new quarterback

286
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: something else. If it does work, great, we may have

287
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: our quarterback. We may Spencer Rattler Anthony may wind up

288
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: being quarterbacks here.

289
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 3: Why not? How about that? You never a time they were?

290
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 4: They were both the flavor of the day, right, Yeah,

291
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson had that month. Yeah, you actually had that

292
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 4: little sculpture of a statue for him.

293
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

294
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: Boy, I I should have really traded him in Dynasty

295
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: right after that one.

296
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 3: That's Spencer.

297
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 4: That Spencer Rattler was kind of a big deal once

298
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 4: a lot of time and in the collegiate game. So

299
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 4: I'm in and he's looked all right, I mean through

300
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 4: three weeks, yeah, you know, with somebody outside the division.

301
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 3: So we'll see what happens there, and.

302
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: Really quick, because because I remember this, and I have

303
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: to sometimes sit back and go don't agonize too much

304
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: over over fantasy, but I vividly remember because I had

305
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: the second pick of the draft and fantasy and I knew,

306
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: I knew it's whatever. I knew somebody was gonna pick

307
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: number one. I'm going, oh, man, do I take Bryce

308
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: Young or Anthony Richardson?

309
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 3: Like what do I do?

310
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: Like?

311
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 3: What do I do at number two? Like? Do I

312
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 3: take Bryce Young or Anthony Richardson? Wow?

313
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 8: What?

314
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: I And I agonized over it for like a week

315
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: once I knew that the guy picking first wasn't gonna

316
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: pick either those quarterbacks.

317
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 3: And I like remember going, like my whole week was

318
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 3: like what do I do? Who do I take? Who

319
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 3: do I take? And now it's like it doesn't matter.

320
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter because they both stink. So it makes

321
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 3: no difference how that worked out, isn't it? What are

322
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 3: you gonna do? Yeah? But what can you do?

323
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,400

370
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,120

373
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,000

376
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,960

378
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,000

00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 9: life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing

Speaker 3: He is proud Michigander.

405
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: MLB Network insider Extraordinay John Paul Morosi is on Twitter

406
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 1: at John Morosi. I understand the legacy and how the

407
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: Detroit Tigers are woven into his family history. The Cleveland Guardians,

408
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: who once trailed this division by fifteen and a half games,

409
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 1: now lead the Ale Central over the Tigers. It will

410
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: be the largest deficit overcome to win a division in

411
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 1: the history of baseball. This has been tweeted out by

412
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: John Paul Morosi, So it's only fair, John Paul, I

413
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: welcome you in and ask how is your family doing? Specifically,

414
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 1: how is your dad doing. I can't believe he's doing

415
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: well right now.

416
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 6: They they only watched this week the Lions on Monday Night.

417
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 6: Don I'm gonna turn off the TV for a few days.

418
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 6: DoD Lions win primetime Football, Talk of the Nation. Exciting

419
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 6: times there for coach Dan Campbell healthy. Aiden Hutchinson did

420
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 6: a great job on Lamar Jackson Monday night. That's the

421
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 6: only game my dad's watched this week. They no baseball

422
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 6: watched by him. No, it's uh, this is as as

423
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 6: I had as I was typing out that that post,

424
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 6: I said, my goodness, this, uh, this sounds pretty real

425
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 6: for my for my home state. And it is. Listen,

426
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 6: everything about this game, that the bizarre sixth inning, the

427
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 6: bund that went awry, and then obviously the concern over

428
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 6: David Fry's health and that play in that situation, the balk.

429
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 6: It just it was a surreal series of events. And

430
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 6: now the Tigers can no longer casually explain away what's happening.

431
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 6: This is a this is a collapse of biblical proportions

432
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 6: that is now unfolding. And if they can't right the

433
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 6: ship here quickly, I mean, one of the big concerns

434
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 6: now for Detroit is, of course they lose the tiebreaker

435
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 6: to the Guardians. So it's not only that they need

436
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,959
Speaker 6: to keep even with the Guardians, they have to actually

437
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 6: go past them again, and it's just not easy to

438
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 6: do that. The Guardians are hot, playing well. And then

439
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 6: when the Tigers are done playing Cleveland, they got to

440
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 6: go to Fenway, and then the Red Sox just on

441
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 6: a game tonight against a really tough team in Toronto.

442
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 6: And oh, by the way, tomorrow night, the Red Sox

443
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 6: have Garrett Crochan the mound against the Blue Jays, So

444
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 6: you start looking around and asking yourself, where are the

445
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 6: wins going to come from? Where are they going to

446
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 6: get some wins? And they may just have to hope

447
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 6: that the Astros stumble down the stretch. Obviously, the lost

448
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 6: three games playing against the A's tonight now, but the

449
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 6: mathematics no longer favored the Tigers. They are in a

450
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 6: world of hurt and oh, by the way, their starter

451
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 6: on Thursday, his name is t b d TVD is

452
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 6: who they've got starting Thursday's game with everything on the line.

453
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 4: JPA was interesting you use the term of biblical proportions

454
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 4: because we're wondering if there are any Billy Go Texas

455
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 4: trips to the crossroads that have helped to spur this on.

456
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 6: Well, I'll tell you what we as michigan Ers, may

457
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,479
Speaker 6: need to learn and see exactly what has transpired. If

458
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 6: there is another curse here in our state. We've got

459
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 6: the curse of Bobby Lane. The Red Wings, of course,

460
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 6: ended their long drawback in nineteen ninety seven, but you

461
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 6: do start to wonder back in six there was the

462
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,719
Speaker 6: bizarre pitchers having a hard time throwing the bases. A

463
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 6: few different things going on in that era. They missed

464
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 6: the playoffs, the big collapse in two thousand and nine,

465
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 6: But I have not seen anything quite like this. I

466
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 6: guess I'll say this, it's the curse of not re

467
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 6: signing Justin Verlander. He was available last winter. He's gone

468
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 6: on to have a very solid season with the Giants. Instead,

469
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 6: the Tigers, for the same amount of money, signed a

470
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 6: pitcher and Alice Cobb, who did not throw a single

471
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 6: pitch for them this season. Zero did not throw a pitch.

472
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 6: One year contract for more than ten million dollars and

473
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 6: didn't pitch, And they could have signed Verlander for the

474
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 6: same amount of money. For some reason, they didn't, and

475
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 6: now they are sadly for the Tigers dealing with those consequences.

476
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:00,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's a little bit.

477
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: It's just to widen the net here, John Paul is

478
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: that I think this is what's going on, and I

479
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 1: think you're at the crux of it because every year

480
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: you picked the Mariners to win the division, that's where

481
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: you picked that. This has been what eight years in

482
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 1: a row you have picked the Seattle Mariners to win

483
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: the Als. Now it's going to happen. So the Baseball

484
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: God is saying, I'm sorry, there's got to be a

485
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: Yin and yang here.

486
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 3: So I'm giving you the Tigers absolute epic collapse.

487
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: I'll give you the Mariners, who are going to win

488
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 1: that division finally, but you have to take the Tigers

489
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: epic collapse.

490
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 6: Right, and and again. The Mariners get a chance to

491
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 6: try to complete this by by defeating the Kywada Rockies

492
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 6: this week, which I like their chances to win this

493
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 6: series they're playing right now. But you're right, after all

494
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 6: these years of now picking the Mariners. And let's make

495
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 6: this point too. You look at the American leaguees and

496
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 6: guess what team is now just one game back of

497
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 6: the division lead, the New York Yankees. And there were

498
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 6: there were certain teams that we thought if you looked

499
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 6: back two weeks ago, or even a couple a few

500
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 6: days ago, you said, well, the two buys in the

501
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 6: American League could very easily belong to the Tigers and

502
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 6: the Blue Jays. Well, the Jays are now in the

503
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 6: fight for their lives to try to stay in the

504
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 6: top spot of the American League East with only a

505
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 6: one game lead. Now the Tigers are barely even in

506
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 6: the playoff picture, right, now if the Astros win tonight,

507
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 6: the Tigers are officially out of a spot, at least

508
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 6: for the time being. So a lot of things at

509
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 6: play and all the things that you thought were going

510
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 6: to happen, like the Tigers having the best record in

511
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 6: the American League, they may not even make the playoffs.

512
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 6: And now the Seattle Mariners, who, by the way, and

513
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 6: I'll make this distinction, the Tigers had a very passive,

514
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 6: underwhelming deadline. The Mariners were very aggressive, and I think

515
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 6: sometimes when you are aggressive, it sends the right message

516
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 6: to your clubhouse. The Tigers, they didn't, and I think

517
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 6: that as a result, the Tigers have lacked a little

518
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 6: swagger here lately, Whereas you look at the Mariners and

519
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 6: then people like you Hanio Suadez and Josh Taylor who

520
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,239
Speaker 6: came over at the deadline, I think those those two

521
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 6: players have helped drive a culture that might finally prove

522
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 6: me right and win the American League West JP and.

523
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 4: My friend Jason Smith over here has had a nice

524
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 4: roller coaster season with his beloved New York Mets.

525
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,479
Speaker 3: They get it's nice. It's not been nice. Don't tell

526
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 3: me it's been a nice seat. It's not been nice.

527
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 3: It's not nice to use it as a very.

528
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 4: Positive sounding word, even although we know better incredibly can

529
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 4: anybody that's watched this, But but you've dived off of

530
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 4: their wagon repeatedly. Uh is he going to get to

531
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 4: the finish line with this squad or are they going

532
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 4: to be left on the outside looking into where he's

533
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 4: eating hoggin dass and crying.

534
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 6: They're in. They're going to be in a big comeback

535
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 6: win tonight at Wrigley and Jason again, they tend to

536
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 6: play well during the weeks in which I'm going to

537
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 6: see them, and I will be there at Wrigley on Thursday,

538
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 6: so I will be there. It's our final MLB Network

539
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 6: showcase game of the week. I get to stay here

540
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 6: in the Midwest. I'm going to go to Chicago and

541
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 6: I'm looking at this team thinking that comeback they had

542
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 6: tonight says a lot about their intestinal fortitude, if you will.

543
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 6: And the other piece of the puzzle that I think

544
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 6: is so fascinating is that Juan Soto has had one

545
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 6: of his best seasons of his entire career this season,

546
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 6: and it's not getting nearly the national love that that

547
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 6: season deserves. He has been outstanding especially lately. And so

548
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 6: I'm bullish on the Mets. And I get to see

549
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 6: Brandon Sproad pitch in person with the first time on Thursday.

550
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 6: So it's it's all falling into place. And and Jason,

551
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 6: I think that my father, the people in my great

552
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 6: home state, they're just hoping to borrow some of Jason

553
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 6: Smith's optimism. They just they want to, uh, they want

554
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 6: to borrow your your perpetual looks, get the sunny side

555
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 6: of life. And I think that if you can share

556
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 6: some of that that zen like status, so we would

557
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 6: greatly appreciate it.

558
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: Good, good, go much guys. I'm gonna give you something

559
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,959
Speaker 1: very calm. Hey, have you see Sternsy David Stearns who

560
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: runs the Mets, your your former college roommate. Uh, just

561
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,719
Speaker 1: you pass this along. I'm so happy. No more petersoner

562
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: Maniah the rest of this year. No, no more. I

563
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: don't want to see them on the mound again ever

564
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. So you can bring him

565
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: that message that nice.

566
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 6: I will be happy to convey that to him.

567
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 3: He's been wearing that sandwich board around town. JP.

568
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 6: Here's my question for you, my esteemed friend and radio host.

569
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 6: I'm going to now turn the question back to you. Sure,

570
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 6: three game series wild Card series for the Mets. Who

571
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 6: are your three starting pitchers?

572
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: Oh, McLain, McClain, rain delay, snow delay, mcclan, mclaan, No, McLain,

573
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:57,959
Speaker 1: sprote and Tom you're going, yes, I'm going to all

574
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: the kids. And if you need to piggyback, because I

575
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: think piggyback. You know, it's funny we talked without this

576
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: last week. You know, the bullpen games have been really

577
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: in vogue the last you know, five to seven years

578
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,479
Speaker 1: in playoffs major League Baseball. I think piggybacking is going

579
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: to be the new bullpen games where teams, oh, we

580
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: can do this with our starting pitchers. The Mets started

581
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: to do it a little bit ago with some of

582
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: their with a couple of their guys, and it worked

583
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: a little bit. So I can see a situation where hey,

584
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: I can see a piggybacking of say Tong and Clay Holmes,

585
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: and that's how they're going to do it. And I

586
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: think more teams are going to go, oh, we don't

587
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: kill our bullpen. We can you know, we use two

588
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: starting pitch, which we.

589
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 3: Can do, Hey, why not do that? And that might

590
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 3: work out better for us.

591
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: I think the I think that what teams like the

592
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 1: Mets are doing this is the beginning of a new

593
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: trend in baseball.

594
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 6: I love it, and I am sure let let the

595
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 6: Baseball record reflect you heard it here first on the

596
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 6: Jason Smith Show, that this is the new paradigm of

597
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 6: pitching in Major League Baseball in the postseason is the

598
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 6: piggyback instead of the bullpen game. I love the idea,

599
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 6: and let me tell you why I love the idea

600
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 6: the way that you're describing it. If you are putting

601
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 6: a young pitcher into a postseason cauldron, as the Toronto

602
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 6: Blue Jays may also do with Trey Savage, you might

603
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 6: as well have the young man keep the role that

604
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 6: he's had for his entire career. They're all starting pitchers.

605
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 6: It's asking a lot of Jonah Thong to come into

606
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 6: a seventh inning, men on base, complete chaos, you're on

607
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 6: the road, the crowd's going berserk. Why do that? Let

608
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 6: him start? He's been a starter, that's what he's comfortable doing,

609
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 6: and then have someone like Clay Holmes, who has relieved

610
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 6: for most of his major league career, have play do that.

611
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 6: I think that you are now an adjunct professor on

612
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 6: the School of Baseball at City Field, and I shall

613
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 6: convey when I see my good friends Carlos Mendoza, bench

614
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 6: coach Sean Gibbons, I'll convey your your plan, and I

615
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 6: think that it I suspect they will look favorably upon it.

616
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 4: To get one of those adjunct professorships. Go in there

617
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 4: and speak wisdom.

618
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 6: Adjunk Jason Smith. Let's get so, Mike. Here's the thing,

619
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 6: maybe for for Christmas, for him holidays, you know, get

620
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 6: him a gift that is Jason Smith adjunct professor is

621
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 6: School of Baseball.

622
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 3: I think we should start that hard.

623
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 4: Well, we probably, I mean people would want a degree

624
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 4: in that. I mean they can print one from home.

625
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 3: It'll work. Let me ask you one one thing before

626
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 3: we let you go. JP.

627
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 4: Plenty of time to chew this over the off season.

628
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 4: But on Tuesday, the Competition Committee voted to bring in

629
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 4: the robot umps. A lot to be sorted out and

630
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 4: details that we'll deal with over time here, But what's

631
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 4: your immediate reaction to it.

632
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 6: I think that it's good. It was pitable that it

633
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 6: was going to happen, just based on the data that

634
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 6: had been coming in. The Commissioner talked about this at

635
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 6: length in recent months years. MLB has put a ton

636
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 6: of research and thought into the rule changes, and I

637
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 6: do think this will change the way that we watch

638
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 6: the game in a more profound way than the pitch timer.

639
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 6: The pitch timer, to be honest, guys, I barely even

640
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 6: think about it anymore. I know that it's there, I

641
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 6: know the game is moving faster, but I often don't

642
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 6: think about it. I do think about the number of engagements.

643
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 6: I think about the bigger basis and how many stolen

644
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 6: bases we see now. That stuff I think about, But

645
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 6: the timer I don't. I think this is going to

646
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 6: be a little bit distinctive in that, by definition, multiple

647
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:53,239
Speaker 6: times per game, we're going to be reminded of the

648
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 6: existence of this technology. And I think the most fascinating thing,

649
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 6: Mike will be internal and how teams say which players

650
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 6: can challenge, how those players feel about it, how you

651
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 6: feel if you get a chance to challenge, or if

652
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 6: a teammate gets privileged to challenge at any time and

653
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 6: you don't. It's like having a sibling who has a

654
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 6: different curfew than you do, and it's that is a

655
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 6: very complicated feeling that I think will internally unfold in

656
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 6: fascinating ways that have far reaching implications. So this is

657
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 6: objectively one of the biggest changes we have seen. Of

658
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 6: all the changes that have occurred under Rob Manford, I

659
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 6: think this is one of the most important and most

660
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 6: most transformative, honestly for the game of baseball.

661
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: All right, Lastly, John Paul, your moonlighting job as NFL

662
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions prognosticator. They are favored by eight and a

663
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: half points at home this week against the Browns.

664
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 3: What's the final score.

665
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 6: Detroit twenty eight, Cleveland seventeen seventeen.

666
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 3: Wow, you must think twenty eight points.

667
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 6: In fairness, I was close on the margin of victory

668
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 6: for the Lions over the Ravens. I didn't have the

669
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,719
Speaker 6: total points correct, but I was darn close on the

670
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 6: on the margin, So I might be honest with this year.

671
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 6: I got the guys, if the Mariners are going to

672
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 6: win the division, this is the year of the MOROSSI.

673
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 3: Ah, yeah, but that means you might get cocky. JP.

674
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 3: You got to make sure you check yourself.

675
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 6: That's how people get trouble within yourself. Within yourself.

676
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: See John Paul Moros The MLB Network Mets and the

677
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: Cubs plenty of offense coming up rest of this week

678
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: and Wrigley with the wind blowing out. John Paul is

679
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: always buddy appreciated.

680
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 3: Enjoy the games. We'll talk to you next week.

681
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 6: We're looking forward to my friends. Thank you so much,

682
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 6: see you, buddy.

683
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,479
Speaker 3: Right there goes John Paul Morosi. Great stuff from him

684
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 3: as always.

685
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: He must really think the Lions are gonna score a

686
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: lot of points because normally says twenty four, but twenty

687
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: eight now for the whoa, that's a big offensive thing.

688
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, look, he's banking on Joe Flow going

689
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 4: to give up seven maybe short fields, I don't know.

690
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 3: We'll see eight.

691
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 4: Aiden Hutchinson maybe with a little punch out and stripsack

692
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 4: kind of thing.

693
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 3: I don't know, We'll.

694
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: See tim how to find out what's trending in the

695
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: wide world of sports. So someone who's been called the

696
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco of Fox Sports Radio, he's had some kind

697
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: of career and he is elite.

698
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 3: It is deep to say thank you.

699
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 10: I think let's get to the baseball scoreboard.

700
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 3: Is the Dodgers show.

701
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 10: Hey, O'tani has pitched six innings tonight for the first

702
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 10: time in two years his era this season two point

703
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 10: eight seven. The Dodgers were up for to nothing at

704
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 10: Arizona in the seventh. By the way, Otani's career ERA

705
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 10: is under three now. Of course, as soon as Otani

706
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 10: comes out, the bullpen gives up a run. So it's

707
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 10: four to one at Arizona at the bottom of the

708
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 10: seventh inning.

709
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 3: You know you can help me out here, Steve, and

710
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 3: hold on to this lead. You know, I'm just saying

711
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 3: you could. It's right.

712
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 10: We'll get to Arizona and for San Francisco and Saint

713
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 10: Louis in just a moment.

714
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 3: But the Dodger I don't worry about them one.

715
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 10: At Arizona bottom of the seventh Oughtani had eight strikeouts

716
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 10: no walks in his six scoreless innings. The Padres hit

717
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 10: two early homers, including a grand slam. There's still up

718
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 10: six nothing on Milwaukee in the bottom of the eighth,

719
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 10: the Dodgers trying to hold on to the two and

720
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 10: a half game lead over San Diego and the NL West.

721
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 10: The Padres did at least clinch a playoff berth last night.

722
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 10: As for the Saint Louis at San Francisco game, the

723
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 10: Giants had come back for a seven to three lead

724
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 10: over the Cardinals, bottom of the six. Giants have lost

725
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 10: eight of ten. The regular season ends this Sunday. San

726
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 10: Francisco and Saint Louis were three and a half games

727
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 10: out of the final NL wildcard going into today. The

728
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 10: Reds were the holders of that spot. They had won

729
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 10: five in a row, but Cincinnati lost at home tonight

730
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 10: four two to Pittsburgh, and then the Mets hit a

731
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 10: two run homer top of the eighth to win nine

732
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 10: to seven at the Cubs. Cubs have lost five in

733
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 10: a row. The saved Edwin Diaz in New York two

734
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 10: perfect innings, five strikeouts. The Mets lead the Reds by

735
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 10: one game for the final NL wildcard spot, and my goodness,

736
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 10: Cleveland is tied with the Tigers for first place in

737
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 10: the Al Central. Cleveland was down by twelve and a

738
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 10: half game in the standings less than a month ago.

739
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 10: This is the worst collapse since they've had divisions in

740
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 10: Major League Baseball, and that goes back to the nineteen sixties.

741
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 10: Cleveland beat the slumping Detroit team five to two tonight.

742
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 10: Detroit has dropped ten of its last eleven, seven in

743
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 10: a row, and now the Cleveland Guardians had the tiebreaker

744
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 10: over Detroit. Boston won four to one at first place Toronto.

745
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 10: In the AL East, the Blue Jays lead is down

746
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 10: to one game over the Yankees. Yanks got two runs

747
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 10: in the bottom of the ninth edge the White Sox

748
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,720
Speaker 10: three to two, and the Yankees clinch a playoff berth

749
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,800
Speaker 10: Atlanta won its tenth game in a row. Texas lost

750
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 10: its eighth straight, Miami won its seventh in a row.

751
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 10: Baltimore shut out Tampa Bay. Right now in the ALS,

752
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 10: the Mariners are losing and Houston is losing at Seattle.

753
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 10: Mariners down three to one to the Rockies in the

754
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 10: top of the eighth. In Northern California, it's now the

755
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 10: A's four to one over Houston. In the bottom of

756
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 10: the fifth. WNBA semifinal games over for the night. Las

757
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 10: Vegas at home blew out Indiana ninety to sixty eight.

758
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,240
Speaker 10: That best of five tied at a game apiece. Phoenix

759
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 10: came back for an overtime win at Minnesota. Phoenix was

760
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 10: down twenty mid third quarter. Game threes will be on

761
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 10: Friday night. The New York Liberty fired coach Sandy Brondello,

762
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,720
Speaker 10: who won the Championship a year ago. They just lost

763
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 10: in the first round as the five seed, and at

764
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 10: the postgame press conference, superstar Breonna Stewart was asked about

765
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 10: her coach maybe not coming back. She couldn't believe the

766
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,399
Speaker 10: question was even asked, well, guess what her coach isn't

767
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 10: coming back? Technically, the Liberty declined to pick up her

768
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 10: contract option. Oklahoma State fired and paid off coach Mike Gundy.

769
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 10: He was in his twenty first year there. He has

770
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 10: now owed fifteen million dollars. New York Giants rookie quarterback

771
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 10: Jackson Dart will start this week. Tampa Bay wide receiver

772
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 10: Mike Evans will reportedly miss three to four weeks with

773
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 10: a strain hamstering back to you, Thank.

774
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 3: You, Steve Oh.

775
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,799

00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: it is time to look ahead to the game of

799
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: the week in the NFL, and really, what's win It's

800
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: gonna wind being the game of the year up until

801
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 1: this point, or the game of the first month. Because

802
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 1: Sunday we get the long awaited return of Micah Parsons

803
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: to Dallas. Sunday Night Football Packers and the Cowboys. Already

804
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: the war of words has been thrown around. Parson says, hey,

805
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: sacking Dak Prescott because you know he plans on sacking

806
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. Uh, sacking Dak Prescott is gonna be painful. Meanwhile,

807
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones.

808
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:33,280
Speaker 3: Sounds like a threat. I think he has to be suspended.

809
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: Getting it's gonna be painful, Like wow, Uh, that's my guy.

810
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: He was always a good mentor for me. But you

811
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: know how it is, this is what he's talling. He's

812
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: not saying, hey, I'm gonna break his leg. He said

813
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 1: he went full club or laying Yeah, he went, you know,

814
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: prediction for the fight, this is like yeah, yeah, of

815
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: course it's gonna be pay It's gonna be tough. But

816
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: he went on to say really glowing things about Dak Prescott.

817
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 1: For a teammate, but also juiced up for this game

818
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: is Jerry Jones.

819
00:38:58,600 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 3: Of course.

820
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: Here's Jerry Jones from his weekly appearance on one O

821
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: four to three the Fan, in which he said that, yeah,

822
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: he's kind of happy at the extra bit of juice

823
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: that Michah Parson's coming back to Dallas is going to

824
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: bring this game.

825
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 8: I've said this time and time again, and I thank

826
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 8: the world of Micah as an individual, and of course

827
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 8: knowing well, but and then mind say, I wish him well,

828
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 8: except it's obvious I don't this weekend in terms of

829
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 8: winning the ball game.

830
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't you know.

831
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 1: But while I'm talking to you on the radio, got

832
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: my middle finger up because I really don't feel that.

833
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 6: No.

834
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: Uh, here's the thing, right, and this is what we

835
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,919
Speaker 1: have told you about Jerry Jones. And I actually saw

836
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: this on ESPN today, So congratulations for a take that

837
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: we gave you like months ago. How about Look, of

838
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: course Jerry Jones excited, right, of course he's excited because

839
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: it's all here. Dallas has. They're going to have a

840
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: miserable season. Their defense is abysmal, right, And we told

841
00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: you that For Jerry Jones, winning is a blur line

842
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: where he can win on the field or off the field,

843
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: and it's all the same to him. If the Cowboys

844
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: are great on the field, awesome, right, that's great. But

845
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:13,240
Speaker 1: if the Cowboys are great off the field via relevancy attention,

846
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: this is what he craves.

847
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 3: He knows that, Hey, winning.

848
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: The Super Bowl every year is hard to do, and

849
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 1: we can't do it now thirty years, I've been able

850
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 1: to do it despite the fact they're America's team. But

851
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: if he wins off the field with attention and relevancy

852
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 1: and the value of the franchise and the Cowboys still

853
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: being the pre eminent franchise and all of the NFL,

854
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: which is the biggest sport in the country.

855
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 3: He wins.

856
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: That's how Jerry Jones measures winning. It's why Dallas has

857
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: been They've been able to be mediocre on the field

858
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: for the last thirty years because they've been great in business. Now,

859
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: the team could probably sell the team for fifteen billion dollars. Right,

860
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: If you're buying the Cowboys, it would be at least

861
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: fifteen billion dollars, right, It's the same to him. This

862
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: is why Jerry Jones can be excited even though, hey,

863
00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: we got to get a win, X, Y, and Z,

864
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: because this is a big game and the trade of

865
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons has made the Dallas Cowboys once again front

866
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,359
Speaker 1: and center stage. We're talking about this game that's coming

867
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: up in five days on Tuesday. This is winning for

868
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones. It's why the Cowboys don't win on the field, because, hey,

869
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,399
Speaker 1: most owners want to win. Hey, we want to want

870
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: to win, but Jerry Jones likes to win this way

871
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: as well. In some ways, it's better for him to

872
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: win off the field because it's about him. It's not

873
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: about the Cowboys winning. It's about Jerry Jones. This is

874
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: nothing that's different. But congratulations to people who figure out

875
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: right now.

876
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, look to be clear, as I've said the I

877
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 4: understand we're counting super bowls. They got five double digit

878
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 4: win seasons in the last nine years. Damn it, I

879
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,959
Speaker 4: got that in my lifetime for crying out loud.

880
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 3: Okay, so we need to calm down there.

881
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 4: What I want to see, though, is Lafleur get really creative,

882
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 4: because that secondary stinks. I want to see him run

883
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 4: Micah Parsons out and just let him run a fly route.

884
00:41:58,320 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: I wish they'd have a thing where you could call

885
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 1: play like that. That would be awesome.

886
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 3: Just let him go out and try try one deep ball.

887
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 4: Look, I umiliated you because I scored a sixty eight

888
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 4: yard touchdown and I sacked your quarterback twice.

889
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: Take that exit out a bout a Fresca exit, swollen dove,

890
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 1: Jason Smith, Mike Harbon.

891
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 3: Remember this is how Jerry Jones wins. It's the only

892
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 3: way coming up next.

893
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: A big game from this Sunday where I feel better

894
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 1: about the team that lost than the team that won.

895
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 3: That's next. Jason of Mike Fox Sports Radio
