So, not only is it newby Night 44 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: now we have a lot of loyal Minion paid actors, 45 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: bad actors who call the show every night and stan 46 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,239 Speaker 1: on Hold. We got guys like hollering James that take 47 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,519 Speaker 1: thirty six pills in the morning, thirty six pills. 48 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 3: At night and change. There's a James right there. We 49 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 3: have blind Scott. 50 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: I don't know how to describe Blind Scott online all 51 00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: the time and needs intervention when the show's out on 52 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,679 Speaker 1: the air. So he's there, and so many other jed 53 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: who fled, who's got a probation violation, so who knows 54 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: what's going on with you? Yeah, well that's blind Scott. 55 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: But we also heard from Angry Bill. Hadn't heard from 56 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: him in a while. We thought he was dead, but 57 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: he's alive, and so there's that. So we have a 58 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: lot of regulars, but they have the night off. We're 59 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: not going to pay them tonight to call in. So 60 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: this is an opportunity for new people. We'll tell you 61 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: as we go through the night, new people to call in. 62 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: But at the same time, been here a long time, 63 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: and so there's different generations of callers. People graduate from 64 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: the overnight show, or people stop calling for whatever reason. 65 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: So this is an opportunity for people to call in 66 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: that haven't called in a while also, so it's a mishmash, 67 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: and we'll see maybe no one will call. Maybe we 68 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: have no new listeners and no old listeners and it's 69 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: all the same people. I have no idea, but we'll 70 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: do that later on. I'll give out the number. But 71 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: let's get into the monologue right now. Our lead this 72 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: out from the John Harbaugh sweepstakes, and not all precincts 73 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: are reporting in, but it does appear we have declared 74 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: a winner of the election for John Harbaugh, whacked. 75 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 3: As the Ravens coach a few days ago. 76 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: And the Harball roller coaster is about to stop. Big money, 77 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: big money and no women stop. Yeah, all right, Well 78 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: it didn't go around very long. There weren't a lot 79 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: of loop de loops. And if you have not heard, 80 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: the news here developing in the nighttime hours. And we 81 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: love when news develops in the nighttime hours because it 82 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 1: really pisses off the daytime people. And I love that. 83 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: So we've learned now that John Harbaugh and the New 84 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: York Football Giants are this close to finalizing an agreement 85 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: they have a double secret handshake, and that he will 86 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: be the next head coach of the morbid New York Giants, 87 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: John Harbaugh going to the cemetery to coach the Giants, 88 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: and barring any kind of last minute snaff oo, the 89 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: deal is expected to be anounced when the sun comes 90 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: up later on on Thursday. The contract numbers are still 91 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: being hammered out with Jeff means some bean counters are 92 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: involved in that. However, again, it does appear that John 93 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: Harbaugh is going to take the Giants deal, and the 94 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,119 Speaker 1: announcement will be coming down sometime either today and most 95 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: likely today. If not, it'll be happened before the weekend. 96 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: So that is a good jumping off point for the 97 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: purposes of this malar monologue. We are going to assume 98 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: the position that this is the gospel, that there will 99 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: not be any kind of hiccup at the eleventh hour 100 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: and the deal will get done. So let's discuss the question. 101 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 1: It's an obvious question. I think every man, woman and 102 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: child have this question. So I'll just answer. I'll just 103 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: ask it and answer. The question is why on God's 104 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 1: green Earth does John Harbaugh want the Giants? 105 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 3: Why would he pick the Giants? So my thoughts on this. 106 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: I've got the Disney Vault whiplash and Applebee's and we 107 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are 108 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: going to make a New York beef sandwich, which is underrated. 109 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: It's not bad, man, they do that pretty good. I 110 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: can make a ripoff version at the Mala Mansions. Not 111 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: bad at all. So a this based on reading the 112 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: information available, on hearing from people around the NFL. This 113 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: was a full on hostage negotiation where John Harbaugh held 114 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 1: all the carts. It's very expensive, very expensive for the 115 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: giants to get Harball. The amount of money is going 116 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: to blow your brains out. And the reason that the 117 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: amount of money is as high as it is is 118 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: because the giants have to pay what we call a 119 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 1: suck tax. When you suck, you have to pay more. Right, 120 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: if you don't blow, you don't have to pay as much. Now, 121 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: after years of wandering the deserts of Jersey, I didn't 122 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: even know they had deserts in Jersey. It met life there. 123 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: The Marriage and Tish Ownership Group. They went over to 124 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: the Disney vault and they found the Genie from Aladdin, 125 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: and they tapped into the Genie from Aladdin. They looked 126 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: at John Harbaugh and said, your wish is my command 127 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: and John harbust don't really, here's a sucker. This was 128 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: a total genuflection from. 129 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 3: You talk about genuflex, this is it. 130 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,239 Speaker 1: I mean Harbaugh was supposed to be speed dating going 131 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: through the whole league, all the jobs that were open up, 132 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: playing the field like a bachelor on a cheesy reality 133 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: dating show. And Big Blue did not just open the 134 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: door up. From what we understand, they gave him the 135 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: Hawk Tua Special. We're going next level, full knee pads 136 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: with a giant logo on it. Total worship. They bent 137 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: over backwards so far, in fact, there are reports that 138 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: they got some kind of spinal displacement. That's how far 139 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: they bend over and backwards to accommodate the former Ravens coach. 140 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: So John Harbaugh, who has been placed on a pedestal, Yeah, 141 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: on a little pedestal there, so high? How high is 142 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: the pedestal. We need someone to give him oxygen. He 143 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: needs an oxygen tank just to call time out. It's 144 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: that high up the pedestal. After eighteen years in Baltimore, 145 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: it would appear all reports indicate that John Harbaugh is 146 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: getting the full Monty, the full Monty. He's got the 147 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,199 Speaker 1: keys to the vault and a pocket full of house. 148 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 3: Money, which is the way to do it. 149 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: Madison Avenue, better watch out now because John Harbaugh, he 150 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 1: was already rich, and now he's even richer, and he's 151 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and go shopping. And the Giants are 152 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: gonna be picking up the tab on that as we 153 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: continue the Hour of Harball, page two. So this pending 154 00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: Giants Harbaugh era is already being treated like the Second Coming, 155 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: the Revival, the Great Awakening. They don't do hyperbole in 156 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: New York. 157 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 3: Right, there's none of that. 158 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: Now. Now I'll have to check with my New York 159 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: insiders there to get the lowdown. I'll have to go 160 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: with the e Dog and then my guy Uncle Maul 161 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: in Jersey and Steven Manhattan, all those clowns. I'll have 162 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: them give me the inside information. So the big news 163 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: John Harbaugh going to the Giants. And the question is 164 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: on this part of the train of thought, is John 165 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: Harbaugh's track record A garrongte of success in the Meadowlands. 166 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: Is John Harbaugh's success. They didn't have a good year 167 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: this year in Baltimore, but the most part good team 168 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: after good team, and they won a super Bowl with 169 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco of all people. So is John Harbaugh's track 170 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: record a guarantee of success in the Medlands. That's the question. 171 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: I will go first, you can go after me, And 172 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: I'm going to answer this by saying n ope, nope. 173 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 3: And o pe nope. 174 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: That is just prolog. It's prolog. To quote the Big 175 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: Tuna Giants legend himself, Bill Parcels, no matter how much 176 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: you won, doesn't matter whether you won a Super Bowl 177 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: or multiple super Bowls. If you're not winning now, you stink. 178 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 1: That's it. And hardball is about to get reality whiplash. 179 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: I hope he can get one of those neck thing 180 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: of a jigs to put on his neck because he's 181 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: about to get reality whiplash. He is swapping what is 182 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,959 Speaker 1: essentially a Swiss watch in Baltimore for a Sun dial 183 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: over in Jersey. Big Blue, that roster of flotsam and 184 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: jetsam the last couple of years, I believe the record 185 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: is seven and twenty seven seven. 186 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 3: And if you try, you win nine. 187 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 1: Games, seven and twenty seven over the last two seasons, 188 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: which means what the New York Giants that roster born losers, 189 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: and they will change out players and they'll have some 190 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: new players, but you can't change the whole roster. And 191 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: let's be real here, the Giants are just the Jets 192 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: with a dusty old trophy case and better pr and 193 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: different colors. But hardball is going to be John Harbaugh's 194 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: gonna be a fish out of water. He has been 195 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: so used to the raven Way, the raven way accountability 196 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: and sweating. Do you not do your job? That's the 197 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: patriot thing, but the Ravens equivalent of that. 198 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 3: And now he. 199 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: Inherits a locker room in New York where the culture 200 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: is more culture club. Now my advice is to bring 201 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: in boy George there and change the culture club because 202 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: you got a bad attitude there and right now the Giants, 203 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: and this is the same with all bad teams, whether 204 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: it's the Jets, Giants, Browns, Titans. When things start to 205 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 1: go bad, and there's that point where you cross the rubicon, 206 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 1: and it's kind of like when you have the bananas 207 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: and then the bananas start going bad. Well, you can 208 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: make banana bread, but most people don't do that, but 209 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: you could. Most people just throw the bananas out and 210 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: all that. But when things start going in that direction, 211 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: the g Man channel that old sports movie The water Boy, 212 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: and they go a full water Boy. Oh no, we 213 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: suck again, We suck again. 214 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 3: All right? 215 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: Now the last word here on a Newbie night. So 216 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: there are some reports out of Gotham that are claiming 217 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: that John Harball the reason he picked the Giants is 218 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 1: because he was a smitten kitten for the quarterback there, 219 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: that he took the Giants job because of the quarterback question. 220 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this directly. Do you believe that 221 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: John Harbaugh took the Giants gig because he wanted to 222 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: coach Jackson Dart? 223 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 2: All right? 224 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: So the New York media machine working all night here 225 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: wants you to believe that John Harbaugh has a secret 226 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: man crush on Jackson Dart. 227 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 3: I think they misheard. 228 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: I think that he said he had to fart, and 229 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: then they put that as Dart, and you know, fart 230 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: Dart over. Listen, The idea that John Harbaugh took the 231 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: job because he really wanted to coach Jackson Dart is 232 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 1: straight up hogwash. 233 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 3: It's smoking turds, is what it is. 234 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: Harball is going to the Giants because he hit the 235 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: trifecta at Aqueduct. That's why he's going to the Giants. Look, 236 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: what's trifecta? 237 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 3: All right? 238 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: So the location, you know, he's you know, been living 239 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: on the East Coast a long time, so it's not 240 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: that far from everything, and you know, family's spread out, 241 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: but it's not that far from the old stomping grounds 242 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: in Baltimore, so it's close to everybody. The cash, straight cash, homie. 243 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: Even though you're rich, it's always nice to make more money. 244 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: And Harball's getting paid. He'll be getting paid like a 245 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 1: king with the Giants, which is pretty good. And I 246 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: guess they still give out raises some people. And the 247 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: power of attorney, which is a big one too. That's 248 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: the third leg of the trifecta, which means he has control. 249 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: I know Joe Shane's the GM, but let's think about 250 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: this logically, if there's a decision to be made on 251 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: a draft pick, are the Giants going to go with 252 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: Joe Shane's recommendation or John Harbaugh's recommendation. Typically the one 253 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: with the biggest paycheck is the one that makes the 254 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: decisions on that. But the power of attorney, that is 255 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: catnip for a longtime NFL head coach. So Harpball is 256 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: not going to the Giants to coach one specific quarterback, 257 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: and when you look at the profile of Jackson Dart, 258 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: Jackson Dart is like a He's like a chain restaurant 259 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: like Applebee's, and Applebee's is edible, it's consistent. It's not 260 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: going to poison you. But you're not raving about it 261 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: all week. Hey we're going out to Applebee's on Friday 262 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: to your buddies. You know, you're not telling your boys, Hey, 263 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: we're going to Applebe's. It's like, okay, okay, you go 264 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: and that's it. 265 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 3: You do your thing. 266 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: Maybe you get the game on a ta there and 267 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: then you like the chicken fingers. 268 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 3: Fine, Now, Jackson Dart. 269 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: The elite time I did you know, I went and 270 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: checked out the scout important that I remember watching him 271 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: play and he had some nice moments, a few of 272 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: them during the season. But Jackson Dart's elite talent right 273 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: now until proven otherwise, is the ability to end up 274 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: in the concussion protocol. Really good at ending up if 275 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: you need a quarterback in the concussion protocol. He's a guy, 276 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: he's got an average arm. He's one of these one 277 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: read guys, like a bunch of them, and freezes when 278 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: the first option appears to be covered. So in the 279 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: NFL you generally need to be rat a tat tat, 280 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: treat the ball like it's a live. 281 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 3: Hand grenade and your arm's gonna get blown off and 282 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 3: you got. 283 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: To throw it away and all that. And there's no 284 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: wow factor there. I thumbs up, thumbs down. Eddie is 285 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: probably upset with me and moving man Matt and all that. 286 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 3: Those guys. 287 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: I don't see any wow factor if anything, if any, 288 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: of what John Harball is going to do when he 289 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: advises his new coaching staff will be all right. Just 290 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: install a very conservative, dumb down, rudimentary, one side of 291 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: the field offensive scheme for Jackson Dart and just keep 292 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: him up right. And that's again not why he signed 293 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: a contract. Now, listen, if you are there's three ways. 294 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: It's the old tripod. There's three ways to win football. 295 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: We all learned this in Pop Warner, right. I was 296 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: too fat to play Pop Warner, so I learned it 297 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: playing Tech Mobile. But the thing is, okay, you've got 298 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: the special teams, the defense and the offense. So if 299 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: you're really good at special teams in defense, you don't 300 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: have to be amazing on offense. 301 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 3: You don't have to be. 302 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: And the only time that John Harball won the championship, 303 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: he took a suckbag quarterback Joe Flacco, who made a 304 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: deal with the devil and was the greatest playoff quarterback 305 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my life. 306 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 3: For one month he was. 307 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: Insane to the membrane for the Baltimore Ravens years ago 308 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: and they won the Super Bowl. So he never did 309 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: it again. He didn't do it before it Joe Flacco, 310 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: and so he was just good for one month. Now, 311 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: if you're betting on that to win, that's generally not 312 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: a great recipe for success. However, that's where the Giants 313 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: are about to find themselves, barring some kind of last 314 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 1: minute hiccup. Again the news here, John Harbaugh headed to 315 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: the Giants. That's the story here as we begin the 316 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: overnight on a new b night. Hooray for newbe Night. Yeah, 317 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: so if you missed it earlier, it is newbe Night. 318 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: All new callers, all young whipper snappers. When I say 319 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: young whipper snappers, we've done a lot of these over theears. 320 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 1: I remember one time we had a guy that was 321 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: like eighty five years old called up and he was 322 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: a young whipper snapper because he never called the show. 323 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: And if you've never called, you're a whipper snapper. Yeah, 324 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: it's a fun word to say, young whipper snapper. I 325 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: liked it, and if you haven't called in a long time. 326 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: There were some people I was zooming through the social media, 327 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: which is never a good thing that you should never 328 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 1: do that. There's a lot of schmucks on there that's 329 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: going through Yeah, I mean people, and was it not? 330 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: A burner made an AI video of me begging Justin 331 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati to call the show, which is very scary 332 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: because it sounded like me and it me in the 333 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: video and it's rather disturbing.

One of the big names, 370 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: relatively speaking, is off the board with less than a 371 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 1: month ago to pitchers and catchers start to work out 372 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: in Florida and Arizona for the twenty twenty six baseball season. 373 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: If you have not heard yet, perhaps not, but we 374 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: have learned that left handed starting pitcher Ranger Suarez is 375 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: taking his talents to the Boston Red Sox on a 376 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty million dollars five year contract. How 377 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: new you knew? 378 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 3: Now? 379 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: Suarez spent the entire life that he has been in baseball, 380 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: his entire career in professional baseball. He has been in 381 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 1: pro baseball since he was sixteen years old, so he's 382 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: been in pro ball for fourteen years. He agreed at 383 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: age sixteen to a deal in twenty twelve, and here 384 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 1: he is thirty years old, the pride of Venezuela, and 385 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: he has been an all star level starter. Wasn't the alsome? 386 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: Not this past year, but the year before Suarez won 387 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 1: twelve games had a good era a little over three 388 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: in that bandbox in Philadelphia, and now he is going 389 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 1: to Finway. So that is a good jumping off point. 390 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: Let us discuss question. Does the signing of Ranger Suarez 391 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:19,679 Speaker 1: to the rotation move the needle for the Red Sox. 392 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 1: So my ad observations, I've got Venmo, Milton, Bradley, and 393 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: flem and we will combine all of these together and 394 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: we are gonna make a knuckle sandwich. No, if you 395 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 1: don't pay attention, you're gonna get a knuckle sandwich. You 396 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 1: don't want the knuckle sandwich, but you're gonna get it now, 397 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: number one, all right, So it does move the needle 398 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: a little bit. It's got a pulse. The needle's got 399 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: a pulse. It's an actual, living, breathing pulse. For the 400 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: Red Sox front office. We thought they were sitting out 401 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 1: for that big Sunny Day trade, the sunny gray trade. 402 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 3: That they made. 403 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: So but they hey, they're alive. Apparently they're there. They've 404 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: been napping, resting up in the winter. It's like they're 405 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: on benadryl, on a bender ben and drill bender and 406 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: they actually woke up. So the GM Craig Breslow, the 407 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: latest nerd to run the Red Sox, and he, I 408 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 1: guess he finally found that. 409 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 3: They found out. 410 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: He was digging through a pile of spreadsheets in the 411 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: office and determined, well, I think we need to add 412 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: someone here. And this was after the fans, as so 413 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: many of you who listened to us regularly in the 414 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 1: Commonwealth have reached out and said, why are you talking 415 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: about the Red Sox. They're doing anything, I don't know, 416 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: didn't really interest me that much. Anyway, They raised a 417 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: big hullaballoo, they poked the sack and Breslo finally got 418 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: the owners to venmo him the funds to make it ray, 419 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 1: make it rain. So on the Mallord report card for 420 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: left handed starter Ranger Sworez going to the Boston baseball team, 421 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: I am giving the Red Sox a B on the 422 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: Mallor report card. Now Ranger Suarez gets an A. He 423 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 1: gets an A. Uh. 424 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,479 Speaker 3: And here's why, all right, now, I do like the player. 425 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: I like the player. He was tough out. The Dodgers 426 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 1: and Phillies have played often in postseason games over the 427 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 1: last ten years, and he's been there for a lot 428 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: of those games. And ranger Swarz has that he's got 429 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: that dog get him, you got that dog in him. 430 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: He's battle tested big playoff games in Philly and he 431 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: didn't he didn't urinate down his leg, so good for him. 432 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,479 Speaker 1: He's not coming from a place like Pittsburgh where it's 433 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 1: the kiddie pool. He was in a shark tank and 434 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: he did okay. And that postseason pedigree, which doesn't guarantee 435 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: anything because it's year year in and year aye and 436 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: the same. Some guys guy. Some years guys are great, 437 00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: other years guys that go out and ride the vomit comet. 438 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 3: There's no consistency of that. 439 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 1: But Suarez has been good up until this point and 440 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: he has often carved people up in the playoffs. Now, 441 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,479 Speaker 1: the Red Sox the reason they get a bat is 442 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: because this sounds like a reactionary movie. It seems like 443 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: they didn't plan on signing this guy, and that because 444 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 1: of the public pressure and all that, they were forced 445 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 1: into it. And he's also thirty, he's injury prone, which 446 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: all these pitchers who end up in free agency are 447 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: usually over thirty and injury prone. And so the Red 448 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: Sox will get if they're lucky, twenty twenty six and 449 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven of elite performance by Ranger Suarez, and 450 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: then they will be paying a surplus tax, the decline tax. 451 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 1: After that, they'll be paying a lot for the twilight 452 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: years of Ranger Suarez where he's. 453 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 3: Not that good. And that's fine. 454 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 1: I'd rather play. If I was the Red Sox, I 455 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: would rather play Rangers. I would rather pay Rangers wars 456 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: to sit on the what we used to call the 457 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: disabled list back before the wolke Shoos took over, sit 458 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:12,479 Speaker 1: on the disabled list. Then then that cheating. It's one 459 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: thousand and two, one thousand hole Alex Bregman in the dugout. 460 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: At least Suarez appears to be an honest craftsman when 461 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 1: he's on the mountain, and he's. 462 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 3: Not one of these radar gun guys. He's more of 463 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 3: a wizard. 464 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 1: Watched him pitch a lot over the years against the Dodgers, 465 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,199 Speaker 1: and he hit the corners and it's kind of like 466 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: a getaway driver the way he hits those corners, and 467 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 1: he limits the long ball, and that's important. Philadelphia is 468 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 1: a bandbox, well Finnways, an all time one hundred year 469 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: old bandbox, and so the big issue is the way 470 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: baseball treats starting pitchers, and the Red Sox are going 471 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: to coddle him. He's a number two starting pitcher. So 472 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,719 Speaker 1: in theory, if you make the playoffs and you have 473 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: two good starting pitchers, you're going to have a chance 474 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: going to the middle to late part of the game 475 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: to have the lead and play ahead. And that's why 476 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: you want to have great starting pitchers. But they treat 477 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 1: all these guys like porcelain dolls, and so I say, 478 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: release the kracking, release the cracking, right And even the Dodgers, 479 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: who are like the kings of the Nerds, they did 480 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: that against the Toronto Blue Jays. They allowed one of 481 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: their beloved pitchers to actually go out, Yamamoto, and put 482 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: his big balls pants on and go out there and 483 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,640 Speaker 1: get it done. So if the Red Sox are gonna 484 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: let him cook, that's great. I would let him cook 485 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 1: till the stove catches on fire and just go for 486 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 1: it all right now, Page two to the business of 487 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: big sporty, The business of a big sporting So this story, 488 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 1: I don't remember it was surprising, shocking, or expected.

Big fan of words. I did 512 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: I wish I liked words when I was in school. 513 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: I like them more now as an adult. I would 514 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: have done better in school. But here's the word game. 515 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: What is the word for Dodgers slugger and pitcher Sho 516 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 1: he Otani passing Lebron James and Leo Messi by in 517 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: marketing revenue in twenty twenty five. So I'm gonna go 518 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: with two words. My words are Wowie Kauzawi. Those are 519 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: my words. Thank you very much, Wowie Kazawi. This is 520 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: a Milton Bradley game. It's bonkers to me, and I 521 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: remember playing bonkers when I was a kid. It's never 522 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: the same game twice. It never is. 523 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 2: Now. 524 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:48,959 Speaker 1: We have been told for decades, decades that baseball is 525 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: going the way of t rex, It's going the way 526 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: of the dinosaur. And yet here comes this cosmic anomaly. 527 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: As Andrea the astrology inside, I would say, this cosmic anomaly, 528 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: who laps Lebron James and Leo Messi in the great 529 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: marketing race like they're running in work boots or something 530 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: like that. That's This is a tough day for the 531 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: Baseball is Dying Caucus. It is not a good day 532 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: for the Baseball is Dying caucus. Those mindless dingle berries 533 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: are eating a lot of crow Baseball has survived strikes, 534 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: They've survived steroids, the cheating, a holes, an incompetent commissioner, 535 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: and rob manfraud and as long John Silver would say, 536 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: shiver me, Timbers, a baseball player in twenty twenty six 537 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: is officially the most marketed human on the face of 538 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: this little blue marble that we all share. It shows 539 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: you the sheer gravitational pull of the Japanese economy. 540 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 3: Is what it shows you. Right, my god, you go to. 541 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium, it's like you've walked into a baseball game 542 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: in Japan. How much marketing there is there? And MESSI 543 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: that's the thing, and MESSI is we know he's not 544 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: headed to the soup kitchen. 545 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 3: We know that, but this is a massive. 546 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: Body blow, body blow, body blow. Soccer is a global 547 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: religion and I talk about it once every few years, 548 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: when the World Cup comes around, I'll talk about soccer, 549 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: and I always get these messages. 550 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 3: Why don't you talk more soccer? 551 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: And then I get other messages you don't know anything 552 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: about soccer. 553 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 3: Why would you talk about soccer? So it's like it's 554 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 3: both sides. 555 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: It's a polarizing issue. But I understand when you go 556 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: outside of North America or even just America. Soccer is 557 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: a big deal. It's a big deal. Last time I 558 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: was a soccer game, I was in Vancouver and it 559 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: was beautiful, great weather there went to the soccer game. 560 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: It was an up and coming soccer sensation. Now when 561 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: he makes it, I'll become a soccer fan. When that happens, 562 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: I will be one hundred million dollars. That is unparalleled 563 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: monetizing the talent there. Tani's sitting on the throne. So 564 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: I guess the lesson is, if you make a hundred 565 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: million dollars. 566 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 3: In marketing in one year, you can. 567 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: Get by on that two million dollars Dodger salary, which 568 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: is pocket change. Right for me, if I made two 569 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: million dollars, I'd call everyone I know. I text everyone, 570 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm making two million dollars. But for 571 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: him is who cares. He's using deferred money as a 572 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: gigantic golden umbrella. All right, Now, final point we go 573 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: to TV Land where Simias broadcaster Toto Knee Romo Tony Romo, 574 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: who has been heavily criticized by bots and the algorithms 575 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: and the social media madetrix fake them. 576 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 3: I didn't think he sounded much different than he sounded before. 577 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: I watched the Bills Jags game, and I don't really 578 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,080 Speaker 1: pay that close attention to the broadcasters. I don't have 579 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: them on mute. Romo and Jim Nance don't annoy me 580 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: as much as some others, so I don't have them 581 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: on mute. I wasn't really paying attention. I don't need 582 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: them to tell me what's going on. I can pay 583 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: attention as long as the graphics are up and all that. 584 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: But Romo was getting absolutely destroyed for his performance in 585 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: that wild Card game over the weekend. Hey, he responded 586 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 1: to his critics. 587 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 3: What did Romo say? Romo said, the. 588 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 1: Reason he sounded the way he did was because he 589 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: was sick. Yeah, he was sick that day, but he 590 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: said he didn't want to miss the game. 591 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 3: He said, quote, you're not going to miss a playoff game. 592 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 3: It's too much fun. It's too much fun. That's from 593 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 3: Tony Romo. All right, question, where are you. 594 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 1: At on Tony Romo claiming his wild Card broadcasting performance 595 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: or lack thereof, was because of sickness. So Romo again 596 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: is getting cooked by the media critics. And so Tony 597 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: Romo a man who makes I believe eight teen million 598 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: dollars a year. I know Jerome and Charleston knows that 599 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 1: eighteen million dollars a year to essentially play predict the 600 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: snap on television and say, all right, Jim and and 601 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: now he's taking the flu game performance like he's Michael Jordan, 602 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,959 Speaker 1: or food poisoning like Kobe Bryant. Okay, got it? 603 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 3: So what is this? 604 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: The coughing fit defense? Is that next to the twinkie defense, 605 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 1: the coughing fit defense, it's the ultimate get out of 606 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: jail free card for Tony Romo. 607 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 3: Here, I wasn't bad. 608 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: I was just flemy, Flemy. 609 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:37,719 Speaker 3: That's it all right. 610 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: Now he needed a microphone medic. 611 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 3: He didn't get that now. 612 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 1: Fortunately Tony Romo was not too sick to spend three 613 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: and a half four hours essentially giving Josh Allen a 614 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: verbal spongebath on television. The broadcast was not football analysis. 615 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 1: It was a romance novel. It was I think we'd 616 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: call it that. Well, it was kind of like a 617 00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 1: ron pol Peel ron Co Info mercial product, The Glazeomatic, 618 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 1: the Glazeo Maadic. Now it don't pass, the don't pass 619 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: the mustard. Ninety percent This is my. 620 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 3: Theory on this. 621 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: And when people complain, and I know today a lot 622 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 1: of people like to play the victim, but ninety percent 623 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: of people do not care that Tony Romo was sick. 624 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 1: The other ten percent are actually happy that Tony Romo 625 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,959 Speaker 1: was sick. And so either way, just keep it to yourself, right, 626 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: just keep it yourself. 627 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 3: And I don't hate Romo. 628 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: I don't. I thought a lot of that was performance 629 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: art the whole illness thing, and that's that. 630 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller 631 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. 632 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 3: Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, Here 633 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 3: we go, Here we go, Here we. 634 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 5: Go, Here we go. 635 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:52,839 Speaker 2: How about that to the third degree, this is one 636 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 2: big event gets grilled cool. 637 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 5: So aside from berating reporters, Sean Payton also urged fans 638 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 5: to make noise when the Bills enter the huddle. He 639 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 5: went on to say home field is important relative to 640 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 5: the crowd noise. Ben, do you think crowd noise is 641 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 5: the biggest factor in home field advantage? 642 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: Okay, so ay, I don't think it's nothing. I don't 643 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,400 Speaker 1: think it's nothing. I think it's something. But b because 644 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: of technology. I feel like this is a dated take 645 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 1: from the eighties and the early nineties. They have the 646 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,800 Speaker 1: communication they have and the helmets and all that stuff 647 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 1: they didn't have before. I don't think it really matters 648 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 1: all that much anymore, and I think the great equalizer 649 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 1: has been that big tech is involved in the communication 650 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 1: and the sidelines and the helmet and all that stuff. 651 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 1: So I think the weather. If you're an outdoor team 652 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: in a cold weather place playing a warm weather team, 653 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:44,359 Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing. 654 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:49,200 Speaker 5: Next, well, assuming the harbaught of the Giants thing is legit, 655 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,720 Speaker 5: there are now eight head coaching jobs available in the NFL. 656 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 5: Ben Which one do you think we'll get?
