00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,959
Speaker 2: you here to get you started on your Sunday morning. Dan,

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: good to see you live and in living color in studio,

13
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: and you did the quintessential radio elevate yourself to king

14
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 2: status by bringing in a giant box of beautiful, sweet,

15
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: delicious donuts.

16
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 3: There are donuts here, and I'm sorry if you're listening

17
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 3: and driving in your car doing whatever you're doing, that

18
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 3: you cannot party. And as much as I'd love to

19
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 3: be the hero and all of this, I gotta make guys,

20
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 3: I was really hungry this morning, so I also wanted donuts.

21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 3: So it's a win win for everybody.

22
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: No, that's all right, And I mean that you decided

23
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: to just extend that ring because you could have very easily,

24
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: as many have done here in the Fox Sports Radio

25
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: parking lot, decided to pull in, eat your meal and

26
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: pretend it never existed. There's none for anybody else. There's

27
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: no you know, it's share and sharel like you said, no, no, no, no, no,

28
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be straight up. I mean, you could have

29
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: gone and gotten yourself a giant, giant Danish, giant cinnamon roll,

30
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: a couple of glazed donuts, a giant cup of coffee,

31
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: and the orange juice chaser, and you could have said

32
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: you no, no, no, they don't need anything. No, you decided

33
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: these guys needed that spark on.

34
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 3: A Sunday, which I may have done before. Actually, I've

35
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 3: never sat in my car and ate my stuff. I

36
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 3: have tried to hide it as I walk through the halls,

37
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 3: just in case someone saw me with whatever I had

38
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 3: for lunch that day, because fourteen years ago at Fox

39
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 3: Sports Radio, I was scarred because I bought a I

40
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: bought a pizza for lunch. And it wasn't an enormous pizza.

41
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 3: It was a pizza that could actually fit in the fridge,

42
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 3: And after having what I wanted for lunch and then

43
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 3: putting it on the fridge because I was going to

44
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 3: take it home with me, I came back an hour

45
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 3: later and saw someone eating my pizza in the kitchen.

46
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 3: And so at that point, I'm like, all right, this

47
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: is there Apparently are no rules. There are zero rules.

48
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 3: And I know we've seen episodes about it on TV,

49
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 3: a famous Rass episode and Friends and stuff my sandwich. Yes, yes,

50
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: but it hit home that day. It really did. When

51
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 3: I saw the person with zero remorse, I know who

52
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 3: it is.

53
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: I could pretty much guess I've been here long enough.

54
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 3: Well that person is no longer here, so it's true.

55
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 3: So I have a I feel comfortable in saying that

56
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 3: that situation did happen, but it honestly has scarred me,

57
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 3: but not scarred me to the point where I would

58
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: eat in the car by myself before I worked, so

59
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: nobody else would get it.

60
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: Okay, man, nobody's going to accost you down the hallway now,

61
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 2: that would be bold, That would be bold. But yeah,

62
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: that's where we start our Sunday morning. Wherever you may be,

63
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 2: however you may be, listening the iHeartRadio app serious XM

64
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: Channel eighty three, one of our four hundred plus local affiliates.

65
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: We appreciate you. We appreciate the affiliates for bringing us

66
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: on as one of your entertainment and information options. We

67
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: got baseball in an hour, Dan bar live from London.

68
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: One of the classic rivalries, and I put rivalries in quotes.

69
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: I don't know how you really put it in. They've

70
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: been playing against each other forever, right, some great highlights

71
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: of going back to Ryan Sandberg, home runs, Bruce Suitor

72
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: and all those guys all the way through. But we've

73
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: got Cubs Cardinals coming up at the top of the hour,

74
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: Marcus Stroman looking for his tenth win of the year

75
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: for the Cubs. Cubs interesting, but baseball is that rejuvenation

76
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: and we've got a little bit of juice going into

77
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: late June. We've got a lot of storylines that have

78
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 2: done it. Attendance is up. You've got people actually showing

79
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: up for games in Cincinnati a year after the owner

80
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: said where are you gonna go? What you're gonna do?

81
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 2: Basically channeling a little bit of whul Cogan with more

82
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: derision and mocking. But we're at a point in late

83
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: June where the thrill of the ballpark and is Ilo

84
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 2: letof in his update, You've got the Angels scoring twenty

85
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: five runs and maybe holding out hope that Sho heeo

86
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 2: Tani will still like it in Nanaheim.

87
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 3: I think it's I think it's been an amazing start

88
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 3: to the season, and there may have been a point

89
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 3: where there was a little lull, but I can't even

90
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 3: use the word start, because Mike, this we're going to

91
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 3: be at the halfway point. Rays have played eighty games already,

92
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 3: the Rockies have got shelled, played seventy nine. So at

93
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 3: some point this season they're going to break past the

94
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 3: At some point this week, they're going to break past

95
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 3: that eighty one game halfway mark. And that's where we are,

96
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 3: and the rest of the league is going to do

97
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 3: so as well. And when you think about where baseball

98
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 3: has been, and I'll even go back, Mike to the

99
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 3: point of, you know, when Derek Jeter retired, and I

100
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 3: remember trying to figure out who is the star in baseball?

101
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 3: And even though like Derek Jeter was retiring, Derek Jeter

102
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 3: was still the face of Major League baseball, And really,

103
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 3: I understand why, but it was. It was actually a

104
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 3: problem in the NFL we thought could have when you

105
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 3: had Brady Manning and Breeze end up moving on. But

106
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,119
Speaker 3: now you have Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts,

107
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 3: those guys filling in that role and filling in that spot,

108
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: and now the NFL ends up moving seamlessly. I don't

109
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 3: think it's happened like that major League Baseball. And there's

110
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 3: a lot that's been going on with Judges sixty two

111
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 3: last year. That was his story, but that was one player.

112
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 3: And I just think that the sport as a whole

113
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 3: is better. And I don't know if it's because of

114
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 3: the rule changes, but I know we talked a lot

115
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 3: about the rule changes for the first couple of weeks

116
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 3: of the season. We talked about the World Baseball Classic.

117
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 3: There was a lot of momentum of Major League Baseball,

118
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 3: and heck to have a game last night where a

119
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 3: team scored twenty five home runs, scored twenty five runs,

120
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 3: excuse me, hit three consecutive home runs on three consecutive pitches.

121
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 3: That's great? Like that is that is? I hate the conversation, Mike,

122
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 3: is this good for baseball? Is that good for baseball

123
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 3: because it's so general and it's not talking about the sport.

124
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 3: But baseball has been great for the first half of

125
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 3: the season. And last night, in a game in Colorado

126
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 3: that didn't have any hype going into is just a

127
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 3: normal game. You have another great story coming through, and

128
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 3: I think that's what's been so awesome about this season.

129
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, we've had so many different parts to

130
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: this season. It's segmented. Even as we get to the

131
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 2: halfway point. You mentioned the Tampa bay Rays. It was

132
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: a surprise for about three weeks. Everybody's excited. Yeah, and

133
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: it got to a month it's like cool. Now, it's like,

134
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: all right, they're good. Push them to the side. We'll

135
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 2: see where they are come September. Right, it's not a

136
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,119
Speaker 2: daily tracking. I mean, the biggest story out of Tampa

137
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 2: right now is what they're doing with Wander Franco, trying

138
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: to make sure his ego and being a good teammate,

139
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: whatever that means in their eyes, stays in check where

140
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: he actually got benched for such. So you've got that

141
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: going on. You've got a couple of divisions that are

142
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: more or less terrible, right, My beloved White Sox. Great story,

143
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 2: Liam Hendrix, You've seen it all across the different channels

144
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 2: pretty much everybody doing an interview or a little breakdown

145
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 2: of it as he returned from cancer treatments and now

146
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 2: back in the big leagues and all of that. But

147
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: the White Sox are miserable. Luis Robert Junior has nineteen

148
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: home runs. That was a guy that was gonna be

149
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: one of those breakthrough guys. He can now go have

150
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: a great year. Nobody cares because the team has been awful,

151
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: right and you look at the other side of that,

152
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: we talk about the Cardinals and the Cups. Cardinals have

153
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 2: been dismal, absolutely atrocious, thirty one to forty five. But

154
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 2: they have a great young player in Jordan Lawler. He

155
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 2: was on one of the featured interviews as you're hyping

156
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: the game today and looking at the crowd getting all

157
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: fired up as they're there in London. But he was

158
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 2: a guy that came up in April, a lot of hype, struggled,

159
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: had to go to the miners, and since he's been back,

160
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: he's been fantastic. Now, people that speculate and work in

161
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: the trading card memorabilia world, they're very well apprized of

162
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 2: who Jordan Lawler is a lot of hype, a lot

163
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 2: of push. But in that division, now you've got the

164
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Reds made the quick snide joke there before, but

165
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 2: now they're selling out. You got the Braves in down

166
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 2: and you've got Elie de la Cruz who's just been

167
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 2: lightning in a bottle since coming up, all the wind streak,

168
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: all the great performances. You know, we had the thing

169
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 2: Smith and I were talking about. He goes, well, why

170
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 2: can't he come up and just cut through the clutter

171
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 2: and win an MVP. So we're already kind of looking

172
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: at it from the larger perspective of you know, it's

173
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: a meteor kind of thing, right of how we got this.

174
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 2: It's a new story breaking through, which is what we

175
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 2: always want.

176
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 3: The even the part of the al Central. And I

177
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 3: know you're not happy with your White Sox, but.

178
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 2: It's a race.

179
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 3: But yeah, I like it or not. But the Tigers,

180
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 3: who I think it was a nine game slide a

181
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago. We're playing five hundred baseball. Up

182
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 3: until that point, they're four and a half games back.

183
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 3: At least if the division stinks, you've got competition. There's

184
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 3: there has been so much and and and I'd love

185
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 3: to hear from from you the listener on what is

186
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 3: the best part of this season? Hit Mi gup ayt

187
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 3: swollen Dome, hit me up on Twitter at Dan Byer

188
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 3: on Fox, because I can think there have been so

189
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 3: many you just hit on a bunch. The Pirates have

190
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 3: kind of fallen off, But how about the Pirates in

191
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 3: April and May in the story that they were so far?

192
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 3: The Texas Rangers not doing this without Jacob de Gram's

193
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 3: services for a majority of the season and for the

194
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 3: rest of the season. Can Houston make it back? The

195
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 3: Arizona Diamondbacks hot, maybe cool off a little bit, and

196
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 3: then the Young Corps back at it atop the division.

197
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 3: The Giants have been hot as of late, coming off

198
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 3: of a series. Really swept the Dodgers last weekend. So

199
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 3: there's there's what he how many Giants went ten in

200
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 3: a row? Is that what it was like? There's I mean,

201
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: you can go up and down the standings and you

202
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 3: can pick out something that stands out. All of this,

203
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 3: By the way, without Aaron Judge, the guy who carried

204
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: the baseball story last year, and we have no idea

205
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 3: when he's going to come back. So there's that is it.

206
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 3: It's bad for Aaron Judge, it's bad for Yankee fans.

207
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 3: That is a very good thing for baseball fans to

208
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 3: have these storylines coming through, and it makes for a very,

209
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 3: very exciting second half of the baseball season, as we'll

210
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 3: end up reaching it at some point this week. But

211
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 3: I just think that last night's twenty five to one

212
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 3: Angels victory over the Rockies is just another great piece

213
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 3: of what we've gotten so far in this first half

214
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 3: of this Major League baseball season.

215
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 2: As everybody kept tweeting at Russell Wilson, they've scored more

216
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 2: runs than your offense generated most of last year. How

217
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 2: do you feel about that?

218
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 3: The Rockies deserve to have twenty five put on them

219
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 3: with that uniform cover. I know that we've seen it before.

220
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 3: I know it's their city connector or whatever it is,

221
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 3: but it is not a good look. So you deserve

222
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 3: to have twenty five put up. The great part about

223
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 3: last night was not that it was twenty five runs

224
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 3: and then they would score eleven, say in the eighth inning.

225
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 3: It was that it was twenty three nothing at the end.

226
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 2: Of four twenty one hits three four innings.

227
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 3: I like that is that is amazing? That would be like, hey,

228
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 3: I gotta watch this. I gotta see if they're gonna

229
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 3: get up to thirty or I gotta see it.

230
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 2: Because we do it all the time with football. Are

231
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 2: they gonna score sixty points?

232
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 3: Yes?

233
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 2: Or basketball? Hey, is this guy gonna score eighty? The

234
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 2: most deflating thing, though, right from the fantasy world and

235
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 2: gambling world, is the struggles of show. Hey Otani yesterday? Ah, yes, right,

236
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: because you see those guys run totals yes, over the

237
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 2: course of a game. You're getting all excited. Hey, you

238
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,599
Speaker 2: know what I bet Otani to do X y Z.

239
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 2: It's like, wait a minute, he didn't fare in any

240
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 2: of this, How dare you?

241
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 3: I read what Phil Nevin said after the game, and

242
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 3: it is the most Mike. It is the most coach

243
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 3: speak that I have I that I can remember in

244
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 3: recent history. I understand the coach speak of it in

245
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 3: a twenty five to one game, But what was kind

246
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 3: of lost in all of this was that Griffin Canning,

247
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 3: the Angels pitcher, went six scoreless and struck out seven.

248
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 3: And the most coach speak thing Phil Nevin said and

249
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 3: again I get it, and the Angels are going to

250
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 3: go anywhere. They're going to have to do it with

251
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 3: their pitching, which is something they haven't had in a

252
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 3: long time outside of Otani. But Nevin said, quote the

253
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 3: highlight of the night for me was how Griff threw

254
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 3: the ball end quote. Now that is total garbage. Like

255
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 3: there's you scored twenty five runs.

256
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 2: You will see.

257
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 3: Twenty three of those in the first four innings. That

258
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 3: is the highlight. That is awesome because you are constantly

259
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 3: scoring runs and you are not going to lose the game.

260
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 3: And I get what he's doing, but it is the

261
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 3: most coach speak line that you could ever hear. Well,

262
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 3: I love all Griff through the ball.

263
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 2: Nobody cared. Nobody cared. They wanted to.

264
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 3: See more home runs. They wanted to see more runs.

265
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 3: I don't even know if Griffin Canning's family cared. He

266
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 3: was going to get the win anyway as long as

267
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,719
Speaker 3: he lasted five. But yeah, my biggest takeaway love on

268
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 3: Grip throw the ball. That's that's a bunch of bs.

269
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 2: Griff Brondra under four with that effort three nine nine,

270
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 2: now six and two on the season with a one

271
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 2: to one six whip.

272
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 3: You ever have a great steak like you know what?

273
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 3: The highlight was actually the the asparagus.

274
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: Roasted perfectly seasons I paid much enough fight I pait

275
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty bucks for this, But the add

276
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 2: on side like that was real highlight.

277
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 3: Just I mean, I know this steak has been aged

278
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 3: for so long, but they're all highlight was what they

279
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 3: did with that asparagus. It was. It was amazing.

280
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 2: At fifteen dollars baked potato was out of this world.

281
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: Pal Let me tell you, oh man, it is. Uh.

282
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful Fox Sports Sunday. Here Dan Byer with me,

283
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 2: Mike Harmon, Welcome in. As Dan said, all your thoughts

284
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 2: on what you've seen through Major League Baseball's first half,

285
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: because that's where we're at at Dan Byron, Fox at

286
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 2: Swollen Dome. You want to get in now. We would

287
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 2: be Remassi if we didn't hit the rewind button. Just

288
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 2: a couple of day, we had the NBA Draft. It

289
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 2: was an odd, confusing, confounding draft, and maybe more people

290
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 2: watch because they had no idea who was getting drafted.

291
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: We'll talk about it next here on Fox Sports Radio.

292
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 2: I'm much more on Major League baseball at the midpoint,

293
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 2: as we've got a game getting ready to start from

294
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 2: London thirty five minutes from now. I love it. It's,

295
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 2: you know, like we football Sunday when they're playing in

296
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: Germany or London and we get to break it down

297
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 2: live as it's happening. It's about as good as it

298
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 2: gets live live events. We've got golf from overseas as well,

299
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 2: so I mean we get a lot going on here day.

300
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 3: I am I am. I am a fan of international games.

301
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 3: I've never even I've never attended one, but I do

302
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 3: like the feel. I do like the look. I like

303
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 3: it when the NFL does it in London. Not only

304
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 3: does it provide an extra broadcast window, but actually just

305
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 3: I just like the difference. Is the Germany game was

306
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 3: a hit. I like it when they go to Mexico,

307
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 3: even though they're not doing that this year in the NFL.

308
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 3: I like baseball in London. I appreciate all of it.

309
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 3: Whether you're playing in Australia, Australia like did it years ago,

310
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 3: maybe when you're having games in Japan like they've opened

311
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 3: up the Major League Baseball season has done before. I

312
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 3: am a fan of it. I do enjoy it, and

313
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 3: so I enjoyed watching some Cubs Cardinals game, although quite one,

314
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 3: quite a one Saturday affair on Saturday.

315
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, just it's the idea that you've got an event, right,

316
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 2: it's different, It cuts through the clutter you showcase. In

317
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 2: this case, it was all right, we bring out the

318
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 2: big guns on Fox. Here's Derek Jeter joining the pre game,

319
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 2: and he's part of the festivities. A lot of on

320
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 2: my timeline, a lot of folks getting a picture, getting

321
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: an autograph, shaking hands, kissing babies, and you get him

322
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 2: and Ortiz together and you're having a blast right on

323
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: the set, but trying to figure out how to make

324
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 2: it a one off event. And that bleeds straight back

325
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 2: into the draft from the night in the NBA where

326
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 2: outside of Victor Winn, Bayama, And if you're a fan

327
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 2: of a certain college team, maybe you followed a player

328
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 2: or two along the way, there are a lot of

329
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 2: names that you don't know but as a casual fan,

330
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 2: because they're coming from all over. We're talking international players,

331
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 2: the arrival of these other upstart leagues that are different

332
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 2: pathways than the traditional college entry point. So I wonder

333
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 2: if that played in because on cable. When you combine

334
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 2: the two channels, they actually have the highest ratings for

335
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 2: a draft that we've seen. Yes, without any drama at

336
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 2: the top.

337
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 3: When you combine the two. But I think the network

338
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 3: allows you, and I know TV is different than it

339
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 3: was ten years ago and twenty years ago when you

340
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 3: combine them. But the ESPN broadcast got two point seven

341
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:54,719
Speaker 3: million by itself. The College Baseball World Series game I

342
00:17:54,760 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 3: think got two point one. That's what it so, not

343
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 3: a huge huge gap and that was on ESPN two.

344
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 3: So for the ratings, so the combined ones they will

345
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 3: tout as yes, this is great. I watched the normal

346
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 3: broadcast which was on ESPN, the traditional broadcast host and

347
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 3: two or three analysts, and I think ABC's was a

348
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 3: little bit different with Na Gandhi and Stephen A. Smith

349
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 3: doing their stuff. There's a lot that plays into it.

350
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 3: And Mike I just feel I feel it's where the

351
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 3: NBA is. I feel it's where college basketball is. It's

352
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 3: where the process of prep basketball and recruiting is. That

353
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 3: none of these they're not on the same path of

354
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 3: each other. Like right now, college basketball in the NBA

355
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 3: might as well be different sports because one thing is

356
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 3: not correlating to the other there's you know.

357
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 2: As evidenced by the fact that you had three of

358
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 2: your more decorated players go undrafted. Yes, exactly, guys that

359
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 2: this year. Not Hey we're looking back two or three

360
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: years and they had horrible down seasons. No, they just

361
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 2: don't fit with the NBA projections. And we're talking about

362
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 2: prospecting more than anything else.

363
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 3: You know, Trace Jackson Davis ends up going to excuse

364
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 3: me from Indiana, goes to Golden State, and I know

365
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 3: that there was some stuff with his contract and what

366
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 3: he was going to get from the Warriors as opposed

367
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 3: to maybe other teams, but that was also a name

368
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 3: that we had heard so much about throughout the season,

369
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 3: and he ends up being a late second rounder. I

370
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 3: think I think, I think what encapsulates it the best,

371
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 3: Mike is Kansas, where you've got a Kansas team that

372
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 3: was a number one seed in the NCAA Tournament and

373
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 3: the best player on their team was Jalen Wilson this season,

374
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 3: who goes in the second round, but the best prospect

375
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 3: on their team was Grady Dick. And I think that

376
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 3: you get that. You're getting that a lot now college basketball,

377
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 3: and that's I just I think it's I think that's

378
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 3: why they're different. I also think that the NBA is

379
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 3: changing in ways that made it different. But it was heck,

380
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 3: it's difficult for the casual person. It's not easy for

381
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 3: you and I either, you know, like I fully admit

382
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 3: I didn't really know anything about the Thompson Twins. Didn't

383
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 3: didn't you say a few of their songs? I think

384
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,239
Speaker 3: that there was some published Scoot Henderson, you know, there

385
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 3: there was a push. We saw some of him, but

386
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 3: there wasn't that with the Thompson Twins. And that is

387
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 3: something that is you know that that maybe I don't know.

388
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 3: Maybe ESPN needs to do more. And and I was

389
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 3: critical of ESPN's broadcast. The reason I was critical of

390
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 3: it is because I felt that Jay Billis was the

391
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 3: only one who actually knew some of the players. Because,

392
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 3: let's be honest, like the others are all the on

393
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 3: the NBA side of things, and none of these guys

394
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 3: that are entering the draft to played a minute in

395
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 3: the NBA. They're all about to be in the NBA.

396
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 3: So you only had Billis who saw these players and Mike.

397
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 3: It's extra work now when you're adding the Thompson Twins

398
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 3: and you're adding Scoot Henderson when you're adding the other

399
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 3: kid from France, WIMBA NAMA's teammate u R. You know,

400
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 3: so there's you know what you needed. You needed one

401
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 3: of those draft guys, just like ESPN as Melchiper Junior,

402
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 3: just as the NFL network had Mike Mayock and now

403
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,479
Speaker 3: Daniel Jeremia. He kind of needed that guy that was

404
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 3: all in on the on the draft and the prospects

405
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 3: sitting at the desk, and they didn't have that on Thursday.

406
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,199
Speaker 2: See one of my big criticisms of this and the

407
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 2: NFL does it right. It's a long build up. You

408
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 2: get all these montages, you get a lot of player

409
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 2: evaluations team needs, which means you're going to encompass a

410
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 2: bunch of the prospects. Well, they need a wide receiver.

411
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 2: Here's a chance to showcase five different guys that might

412
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 2: be available. With the NBA Draft with so much unknown,

413
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 2: particularly we start talking about the overtime Elite League. The

414
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,239
Speaker 2: only thing I knew about it is there was a

415
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 2: card release a couple of months ago, so people had

416
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 2: been kind of picking up the Thompson Twins and a

417
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 2: couple others out of this just pure speculation that they

418
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 2: go early and that it hits and everything's right with

419
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 2: the world. Likewise, the overseas players, you don't know a

420
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 2: lot about them, right, and you could do your due

421
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 2: diligence yourself. And to your point, you got Jay Billis,

422
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 2: who has to now go evaluate a league, not just

423
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 2: those players. He's not gonna go look at a full

424
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 2: league to figure out what do they mean in the

425
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 2: context of this league. But the larger point is you've

426
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 2: got a lot of hours of programming all the way

427
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 2: down to the OCHO. You got a lot of hours

428
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 2: of programming. There were a lot of opportunities to do

429
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 2: five minutes. You tell me you can't get some sort

430
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 2: of numbers from just pulling some highlights and doing little capsules.

431
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 2: Between that and your your websites and social media, it's

432
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 2: a win for days of Hey, this player here there,

433
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 2: Like Grady Dick was a guy that played really well, right,

434
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 2: big prospect until he wore the we're not in Kansas

435
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 2: anymore suit. Nobody knew who the hell he was unless

436
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 2: you're a big college buckets.

437
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 3: Yeah right, yes, So that broke through.

438
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 2: And all of a sudden, all right, now we get

439
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 2: the due diligence of what he is as a player,

440
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 2: but it's just that kind of thing. You had a

441
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 2: lot of opportunities leading up to Thursday night instead of

442
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 2: just what's Victor gonna do, what's Victor gonna wear? Blah

443
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah. Here he is. I love that

444
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 2: photo with him and David Robinson, Tim Dunkan. They got

445
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 2: Tim Duncan to pose for a photo, but the fact

446
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 2: that they're so much shorter than he is and his

447
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 2: legs are bent and he's relaxed, Like wow, that's just

448
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 2: not It's like me standing next to any of the

449
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 2: guys that come, like next, standing next to you, Dan

450
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 2: as we're here in the studio. But you had all

451
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 2: this opportunity and build up to really promote all these

452
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 2: players and the product that you were putting out on

453
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 2: Thursday Night. I don't know how that doesn't help the NBA.

454
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 3: The NBA bends over backwards this past year to hype

455
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 3: wem Binyama. I mean, if you were if you were

456
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 3: to scrub every tweet that they sent, you'd be surprised

457
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 3: at how many wem bin Yama tweets there actually were

458
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 3: from a guy that wasn't even playing in the league, Like,

459
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 3: there was a lot of hype with that. I think

460
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 3: that could be a role that could help a network,

461
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 3: that could help a network partner like ESPN to provide

462
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 3: that sort of access to it. Maybe maybe ESPN was

463
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 3: just putting just a really tough spot because of what

464
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 3: it has become. But it just was so apparent to me,

465
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 3: not even Mike with using you know, Trace Jackson Davis

466
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 3: or Oscar Sheibwey who ended up signing his deal with

467
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 3: the Pacers, I believe, and then Drew Timmy ends up

468
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 3: getting something with the Bucks. Absolutely, Like those are names

469
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 3: that that we followed and we knew from college basketball.

470
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 3: It was just it was the what Kansas was again,

471
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 3: Grady the top prospect, he was considered a lottery pick

472
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 3: throughout much of the year, but Jalen Wilson was really

473
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 3: their best player. And it's just it's two different worlds.

474
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 3: They might als be two different sports with how we

475
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 3: look at him, And I thought that for a while, Mike,

476
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 3: that players And what I'm also saying is I'm not

477
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 3: saying that college doesn't benefit these guys, because I think

478
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 3: it does, and I think it does more so than

479
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 3: people would want to believe. But when you have a

480
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 3: top talent and you see Scoot Henderson and you're like,

481
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 3: all right, well he's a top talent. Scoop probably would

482
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 3: have been great in college hoops and would have been

483
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 3: a name that we would have followed throughout the year.

484
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 3: That sort of talent is undeniable. But I just I

485
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 3: love college basketball and I love what it is, but

486
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 3: it's just right now, it's just not They might as

487
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 3: well be two different sports. I look at Jalen Suggs

488
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 3: from a couple of years ago in the run that

489
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 3: he made with Gonzagats of the championship game, and he

490
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 3: was a top prospect. But the I thought there would

491
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 3: be he would be the guy to be like, look, kids,

492
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 3: look what happens when you go to college. Now you

493
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 3: can end up being a top five pick. And I

494
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 3: just I don't believe that anymore. I've changed my opinion.

495
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 3: I don't think it. I think they're just two different things.

496
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 3: If you want to play in college hoops and make

497
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 3: nil money, go right ahead.

498
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 2: Because that's the other thing is that it's changed tremendously

499
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 2: from the economics of it and what you're trying to

500
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 2: get out of it, because you know, I've long been

501
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 2: a proponent, and I wrote articles all the way going

502
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 2: back to the Maurice Clarett, Mike Williams, uh the I mean,

503
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 2: it's the kindest way to put it. Where they got

504
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 2: bad legal advice and then got absolutely screwed. Now Williams

505
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 2: ended up going again as a top ten pick with

506
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 2: the Lions. But he came into the league and he

507
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 2: looked like a tight end, but he wasn't. That wasn't

508
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 2: his position. That went and he was out of the

509
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 2: league pretty fast. Still signed a decent check to start whatever.

510
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 2: But how much different could his life have been if

511
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 2: they'd gone about this better? Maurice Clarett, we all know

512
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 2: the stories. Here on a road and a new path.

513
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 2: So good for him. But if you can go pro,

514
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 2: go pro, right, and stopping guys from going pro always

515
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 2: seems silly to me. Right, you can go sign up

516
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 2: for this, that the other, but you can't go make

517
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 2: a paycheck. Right. You can dive out of school to go. Hey,

518
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 2: Apple recruited me after two semesters. You know what, you

519
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 2: can have the rest of my scholarship back. I'm out

520
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 2: that kind of thing. So you have all of those

521
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 2: different paths. But now when you talk about NIL, do

522
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 2: you stick around for another year because you're guaranteed. However,

523
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,959
Speaker 2: many some of these guys it's a couple of one

524
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars. For others it's a couple of million,

525
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 2: which may not be waiting for you at the NBA

526
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 2: level at this point, or you don't want to go

527
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 2: play overseas, which might be one of your other options.

528
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 2: And look, if you don't want a degree, you don't

529
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 2: want a degree. We see so many guys going back

530
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 2: years later promises to mom, grandma or deciding they need

531
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 2: a different path. Schools are never closing, like that's long

532
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 2: been my argument to all this. You don't even have

533
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 2: to wear pats. You can get a degree out of

534
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 2: your house right, never see another person, and then meet

535
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 2: the mailman or FedEx guy at the door and grab

536
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 2: your diploma. Nobody has to ever really see you in

537
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 2: the light of day, and you can get a degree.

538
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 2: So you know, the paths are so varied, and the

539
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 2: change with NIL and all of these rules and these

540
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 2: upstart leagues where you've got some money and some funding

541
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 2: that roll it up that you know it's never going

542
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 2: to look the same. Yeah, we can't unring that bell.

543
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 3: I think the overall point and kind of to sum

544
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 3: it up, Mike is this is I think that the

545
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 3: NBA is going to be fine. They are going to

546
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 3: be okay. You know what college basketball is. Okay, college

547
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 3: basketball is really good right now, really is. And I

548
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,479
Speaker 3: think NIL has helped that. I think transfer portal has

549
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 3: helped that. There are some negatives with it, but I

550
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 3: do think that it has gotten you more interested. I

551
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 3: think the casualty just ends up being the NBA Draft sure,

552
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 3: like that's the you know, you've got these gains in

553
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 3: these other places, where are you going to take the hit?

554
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 3: And I think right now it's a broadcast of the

555
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 3: NBA Draft because there is this it's this linear thing

556
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 3: with college football in the NFL, the college football is

557
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 3: at one level the NFL, same path right above it.

558
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 3: You don't have that right now with the NBA because

559
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 3: you have so many different paths that you have so

560
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 3: many different ways now to get to the league. I

561
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 3: just as we watch basketball here in the States, I

562
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 3: think that the NBA drafts broadcast really comes to the

563
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 3: casualty of the NBA getting better and college basketball getting better.

564
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 2: He's Dan Byron Mike Carmon. Hey, reminder, at the end

Speaker 2: Hey, welcome back in by Carment Danbyer live from the

637
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 2: tirerac dot com studios. You've got any thoughts on what

638
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 2: you've seen? Major League Baseball twenty twenty three coming up

639
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 2: at the top of the hour, we'll dive back a

640
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 2: little bit into baseball as we kick off the London Series,

641
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 2: part of the World Tour for Major League Baseball. We've

642
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 2: got Cubs Cardinals coming up a little later, and then

643
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 2: Sunday Night Baseball's the Astros in down to play the Dodgers.

644
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 2: A lot of hate a lot of vitriol controversy last night,

645
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 2: what seemed to be pretty much a pretty clear bulk

646
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 2: to me has people up in arms as that's what

647
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 2: allows the winning run to score. So chaos ensues.

648
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 3: Dan Barr Box in Major League Baseball, making the season

649
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 3: even better. I want to wrap up just our point

650
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 3: about the NBA draft. Yeah, Abigail sweet it in and

651
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 3: it's a really good point again, and this is to

652
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 3: the point of what is the draft doing, What is

653
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 3: the draft serving? Who is it serving? And right now,

654
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 3: I think the emergence of college basketball, what the NBA

655
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 3: wants that the casualty right now is the NBA draft.

656
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 3: Her point was the draft was confusing because of all

657
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 3: the trades. Sure of guys being drafted by one team

658
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 3: and then they're gonna be sent for another. And and

659
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 3: that is another part of it. The NFL draft is

660
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 3: not a means to get your books in order or

661
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 3: to you know, to clear this and do that. Like

662
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 3: you are trying to find players and you're trying to

663
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 3: find starters, and it's it's easy to follow. I mean,

664
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 3: it just really is in the NBA a lot more difficult. Okay,

665
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 3: we're gonna do this, you know, just even for the

666
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:58,240
Speaker 3: non casual there's a pickswap here and we're sending these rights.

667
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 3: It is very confusing and again like it comes at

668
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 3: the cost of the draft for the NBA teams to

669
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 3: do their business like that, well.

670
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 2: And you're offloading all those bad contracts and everything that

671
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 2: goes through. It is always the funny thing because I

672
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 2: hear it at trivia. If you go to a trivia

673
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 2: contest now and again, and the question comes up, especially

674
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 2: locally here in LA who was Kobe Bryant drafted by Yes,

675
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 2: my eye, he's always a Lakers, Like, well he really wasn't, Yeah,

676
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 2: at least for a minute.

677
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 3: And that's you know, gone on. Heck, as you said,

678
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 3: going back to the mid nineties, it just seems to

679
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 3: be more prevalent now though.

680
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 2: If sure, well, but then you get the graphics that

681
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 2: don't make any sense because there's thirty seven things on

682
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 2: the screen. It's like, how do we simplify this, what's

683
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 2: the what's the endgame of what really happens for fans

684
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 2: to understand as opposed to a bunch of language about contracts,

685
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 2: future swaps whatever for the coming year. What does it mean?

686
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 2: How does my team get better break that down for me.

687
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, simple as that, simple as you go.

688
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 2: All right. US opened last week. We were there La

689
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 2: Country Club, great host to US Media Center. Was a blast.

690
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 2: The food spread was good. That these little chicken sandwiches

691
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 2: that really just wanted to stack them up like a

692
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 2: pyramid and work your way down to the base.

693
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 3: Mini chicken sliders Isaac loahing kron if Isaac lowing kron

694
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 3: is available, Mini chicken sliders, Crispy Chicken sliders over under.

695
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 3: How many did I have sliders? Now? Not mini chicken sliders.

696
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 5: I hope you don't get offended.

697
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 2: Eight.

698
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 3: Hey, that did offend me? Under under five.

699
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 2: I'll take the under on that. I didn't watch it,

700
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 2: watch you eat, but I'm gonna guess it was under No.

701
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 2: I saw a couple other guys. They they might have

702
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 2: been tipping to the over Oh now, one thing that

703
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 2: was there. I didn't get anything else. It was the

704
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 2: only thing that I ate. It was the only The

705
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 2: barbecue sandwich was pretty good. Beef with the barbecue sauce

706
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 2: was pretty good. Yes, he was gone it as well.

707
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 2: But then there was a snack table, and I have

708
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 2: to wonder because we had a couple of folks come

709
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 2: from Fox Sports Radio that were around as well. There

710
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 2: were a couple of uncrustables hanging out in the fridge

711
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 2: when I went to grab one of my you know, beverages. Yes,

712
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,919
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, we filled our pocket with uncrustables

713
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 2: or is this a coincidence? Hey?

714
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,399
Speaker 3: There for everybody, I know that there was a lot

715
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 3: of a lot of goodness. I don't think Ethon even

716
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 3: made it to the media center, did you. No, he didn't,

717
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 3: So I.

718
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 2: Just wanted, all right, so, all right, he's clean and

719
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 2: blameble so that regard he could do the whole Vegas

720
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 2: blackjack dealer thing. But we get down to it, Wyndham

721
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 2: Clark rolls away with the victory. Ricky Fowler, seemingly still angry,

722
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 2: goes and shoots a sixty at the Travelers this week. Right, Yes,

723
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 2: found found his stroke and had one of those rounds

724
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 2: that I mean we were talking about Tom Kim when

725
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 2: we were on site last week and the front nine

726
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 2: that he had had, which was just a blistering pace

727
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 2: follower comes back. But all of that energy for Foller,

728
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 2: for McElroy, I kind of felt bad to a degree,

729
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 2: only slightly for Wyndham, Clark, because I don't think he

730
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 2: got the same love he might have otherwise because people

731
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 2: were so much on the storyline, yes, enveloping those other

732
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 2: two golfers.

733
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 3: I'll I'll just say this, and you're right about that,

734
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 3: but that is kind of the cost of doing business,

735
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 3: because it reminded me in twenty seventeen when brooks kept

736
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 3: Goo won at the US Open. And now you look

737
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 3: at Kopka and you're like, oh, jeezus, five time major winner.

738
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 3: You know this is he's one of the best. But

739
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 3: at the time brooks Keptko was a one time major

740
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 3: winner and a leader board that now you look back

741
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 3: out and you look back on and say, wow, it

742
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 3: was amazing. But that week was so heavily criticized. Two

743
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 3: wide fairways, scores were too low, you know, who are

744
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 3: all these players? And now you look back on it

745
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 3: five six years later, you're like, that was pretty good.

746
00:38:58,160 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 3: US Open. I don't know if we're going to get

747
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 3: that here. I just I get the atmosphere. I get

748
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 3: it's different. Maybe there wasn't a big winner, but I

749
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,240
Speaker 3: still don't know how you can't become engaged when Rory

750
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 3: McElroy is in the hunt and he just didn't get

751
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 3: it done on Sunday, which is a story in itself.

752
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think just the casual conversation. There was just

753
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 2: so much animous with the club itself that it bled

754
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 2: into everything else. Back in the Major League Baseball twenty

Speaker 3: Well it's twelve, and they gave you a little extra.

769
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 3: That gave the old baker's dozen donut holes.

770
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 2: On top of that, some donut places have lost that tradition.

771
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 3: Not this one, sad, not USA Donuts, not just up

772
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 3: the street from the Fox Sports radio studios. They give

773
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 3: you the Baker's Dozen, and we are greatly appreciative of it.

774
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 3: I think we're boring, Yes, yes, de grease, but I.

775
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,919
Speaker 2: Mean, look at this crowd. It's like we talk about

776
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 2: all the time. It's radio and it's food. You just

777
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 2: drop it in the center of the table, put a

778
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 2: little time laps camera on. It'll go. Doesn't matter what

779
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 2: it is, what's this in the bowl, doesn't matter. It'll

780
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 2: get eaten.

781
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, if it Maybe I'm not eight donuts in

782
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,959
Speaker 3: like the sliders Isaac thought I had, and I'm also

783
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 3: not five donuts in. We're going to cap it at

784
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 3: too today.

785
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 2: That you were into full gluttony mode. And in my

786
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 2: house growing up, though it was an idea, was never

787
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 2: be a shame to pile it on because you had

788
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 2: three growing boys, which means you know you were fighting

789
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:09,919
Speaker 2: for that last pork job.

790
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 3: It amazes me. It amazes me. I'd love to hear

791
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 3: some harmon family story.

792
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 2: We've got some good ones that'll be in my book.

793
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 3: It amazes me yet again on how much people don't

794
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 3: understand in playing the game. It was set up there

795
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 3: for Isaac to give a load number like three, because

796
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 3: then I come over the top with the enormous number.

797
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 3: It's like if you're if you're talking with a buddy

798
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 3: and you're saying, you wouldn't believe how much that house

799
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 3: sold for. You don't want to high end it because

800
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 3: it completely takes away the thunder of the answer. Yeah,

801
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 3: you purposely lowball it, so then he can come over

802
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 3: the top rope with the you go one million, He'm

803
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 3: like two point eight million dollars. That's that's what you do.

804
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 3: So what I said I had eight, It was then

805
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 3: I couldn't be like I had five because I had

806
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 3: to go, oh, no, I had five.

807
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,959
Speaker 2: You were looking at that thousand square foot to beds

808
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 2: or one bath place to him.

809
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,839
Speaker 4: That's because I expected that he would uphold the reputation

810
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 4: of sports radio gluttony by saying, actually, I had ten

811
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 4: because free food and sports talk radio it leads to

812
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 4: you know ten. And they were many sliders. They were

813
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 4: many sliders.

814
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 3: They were they were just yeah, they were sliders.

815
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 5: That would have been on the low end for some

816
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 5: people in our business.

817
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 3: They weren't many sliders, they were sliders, because many sliders

818
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 3: then would be like the breakfast biscuits at Chick fil A.

819
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 2: I would ask this question though, to labor this point,

820
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 2: because it's fun thinking out there. If you've got a

821
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 2: gluttonys story you'd like to share at dan byro on Fox,

822
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 2: at swollen Dome on Twitter. But I think there's a

823
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 2: difference between a media center gluttony and a press box gluttony,

824
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 2: right because press box, everybody's going back to work. In

825
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 2: the media center where we were, it was like a

826
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 2: nice leisurely everybody's sitting at a table, drinking their beverage

827
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 2: and talking about whatever they're talking about. Media Center, I

828
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 2: should say, press box, you go grab your food, you

829
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 2: go back and sit out. Nobody's really tracking clocking you

830
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 2: as to what you're doing here. You might feel a

831
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 2: little self conscious if you really pile it on, But

832
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 2: in the press box you can go up for like fifths.

833
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 2: Nobody's gonna think maybe you had to go to the bathroom,

834
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 2: maybe needed to refill his water bottle. Meanwhile, you're just

835
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 2: sliding back with no pun intended, sliding back with a

836
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 2: bunch of many sliders, and all of a sudden you

837
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 2: know the over is achieved.

838
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 3: I just love the game, the number play on it.

839
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 4: Well, especially because it no it's a great point about

840
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 4: press box and media center because, as you guys know,

841
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 4: but our listeners might not be familiar with, one of

842
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 4: the perks of covering games at Dodgers Stadium is free

843
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,439
Speaker 4: Dodger dogs in the press box after the fifth inning,

844
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 4: and some of our contemporaries in the sports media have

845
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 4: seriously gone after more hot dogs and sliders, if I

846
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 4: can put it that way.

847
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 3: They show up in the fifth as well, because that's

848
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 3: what the free food.

849
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 2: Well, that's it. I mean, the game doesn't get interesting

850
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 2: to the fifth unless you're watching the Anaheim Angels or

851
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim do they still go by

852
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 2: that town? So either way, the twenty five to one

853
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 2: final bludgeoning of the Rockies in their terrible uniforms, and

854
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 2: then upon that, the Angels also said, you know what,

855
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 2: We're gonna take Mike Mustakus from you as well, so

856
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 2: he becomes the second player acquired this week, and Escobar

857
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 2: comes over from the Mets trying to do everything they

858
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 2: can to shore up this roster. Give up a little

859
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 2: bit of the riches, i e. The number of pitchers

860
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 2: that they drafted the last couple of years, trying to

861
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 2: shore up that part of the squad, but all of

862
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 2: it in the attempt of let's make a run this year.

863
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,720
Speaker 2: And if Shoheo Tani decides to leave o, there's nothing

864
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 2: we can do about that. We've got baseball from London

865
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 2: coming up. You've got the Cubs, a couple of great stories.

866
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 2: They're playing better baseball, so that's exciting in the city

867
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 2: of Chicago. And you've got the Cardinals who have now

868
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 2: been in the last place. Get this, fifty three straight days,

869
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 2: good in division, Good a team, Matt you know what.

870
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 2: And it's funny because the Astros come to Los Angeles

871
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 2: and obviously everybody's remembering twenty seventeen, wondering when the cheating began,

872
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 2: when it ended. Our guy Bob Schmidt doing the voiceovers

873
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 2: and the lead ins for stuff, talking about, oh, you

874
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 2: don't speak trash, can here? Let me interpret? You know,

875
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 2: those kind of things. So having fun with it still

876
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 2: gets people's blood boiling a bit. Cardinals had some issues too.

877
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 2: They had some some scandal in terms of how they

878
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 2: were going and getting information stuff. But relative to the

879
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 2: other things going on when we look at the Astros

880
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,320
Speaker 2: and Rob Manford this week going, you know, I really

881
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 2: shouldn't have given absolution for these guys like you think,

882
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 2: and coming out all these years later, it really it's

883
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 2: really not helping anybody. Yeah, I kind of screwed that

884
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,359
Speaker 2: one up. All right, I'm glad you see it now.

885
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 2: But in the moment, you had an opportunity to lay

886
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 2: down the hammer, because that's what we always look for

887
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 2: from a commissioner, to say, all right, you've got to

888
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 2: draw a line that this is actually serious. Yeah, and

889
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 2: the infractions are immant as opposed to Wow, that's a

890
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 2: bad thing that should never happen again. We'll see on

891
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:38,879
Speaker 2: opening day.

892
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 3: Well again, hindsight always twenty twenty, isn't it, Mike, when

893
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 3: it comes to these deals. But yeah, I'll say this

894
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 3: that those comments by Manfred would have been some seasons,

895
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 3: it would have been the biggest story in Major League Baseball,

896
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 3: and I think it was just a even to the

897
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 3: point of where we are since the scandal. But I

898
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 3: think that there are so many other things going on,

899
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 3: good or bad, depending on what side you're on, And

900
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people do think that it's

901
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 3: bad even the Oakland A's, and that story has become

902
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 3: such a part of the conversation. And it's just been

903
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 3: a really good first half of the season. And I

904
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 3: know that the A's. Oakland's about to lose the A's

905
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 3: and it's not great for them, but it has gotten

906
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 3: the conversation going. People are talking about that, and there

907
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 3: are times when baseball gets lost in the shuffle. It's

908
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 3: just another point of what this first half has been.

909
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 3: It's been, It's been very intriguing, it's been very interesting.

910
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 3: You can only hope the second half of the season

911
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 3: is just as good.

912
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, the a Is to me, a lot of it

913
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,280
Speaker 2: is is great podcast. You want to, you know, instead

914
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:52,919
Speaker 2: of true crime, you want to do the deep dive

915
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 2: on the politics and the grand standing and all of this.

916
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 2: On both sides. I think it's good for there for

917
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 2: Sports Dog Radio wake me when they move right in

918
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:05,760
Speaker 2: the interim, you know, the reverse the reverse boycott was fun.

919
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 2: Manford's comments about that again kind of toned down, silly,

920
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 2: but it gives us a chance to celebrate what the

921
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 2: A's were. But this is a long time coming, right,

922
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,879
Speaker 2: This is this is the We're finally at the one

923
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 2: yard line of what looked to be a seventeen play

924
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 2: long protracted drive. Right that were in the final final

925
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 2: throes of this of what seemed to use the Thano

926
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 2: snap in the Marvel universe inevitable.

927
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 3: I think that I think it's yes, it has been

928
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 3: a long time coming, but it's also been a long

929
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 3: time coming because of the ownership. And I think just

930
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 3: take a look at the Cincinnati Rats. It would be

931
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 3: very difficult to think of Cincinnati without the Reds. Sure,

932
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 3: and by no means are the Reds moving. It's not

933
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 3: what I'm saying.

934
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 2: Well, we joked about it last last hour, right, the

935
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 2: owner a year ago in a town hall, going what

936
00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 2: are you going to Yes, yes, exactly, kind of joked

937
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 2: about leaving. But you know, all of that saying this

938
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 2: is who we are.

939
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 3: But imagine imagine the Reds two years from now trading

940
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 3: Ellie de la Cruz right now. It'd be crazy. Right, Well,

941
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 3: that's what the A's did and it may may not

942
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 3: be to that level, but that's what ownership in the

943
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,760
Speaker 3: front you know, in the front office, ended up doing.

944
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 3: And so you've got this this push and pull of

945
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 3: you guys didn't show up to the ballpark. Yeah, well

946
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 3: you didn't give us a reason to Yeah, well we

947
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 3: gave you these players. Yeah what you traded like? It

948
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 3: is a back and forth and that is part of

949
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 3: the dialogue as well. Where and there's even just the

950
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 3: question of if is Las Vegas a good enough city

951
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:42,760
Speaker 3: to host Major League.

952
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 2: That's an interesting you know, that's the interesting component for it.

953
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 2: But it's I think it's independent of the ages. I

954
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:52,240
Speaker 2: think it's just a larger baseball question. Does baseball play

955
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 2: given the everyday nature? It's you know, the belly aching

956
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 2: that folks do with the difference between fantasy football and

957
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 2: fantasy baseball. It's it's hard work, right that kind of schedule,

958
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 2: especially when you get into the summertime. By rolling out

959
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 2: to I mean it's one hundred and fifteen degrees and

960
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 2: granted I'll be in a temperature controlled stadium, but is

961
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 2: that is that I'm spending my day if I'm coming

962
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 2: into the summer at Las Vegas? I mean maybe if

963
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 2: my team you can get a little bit of that

964
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 2: destination for one game, but in general, I don't know

965
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 2: how much it plays.

966
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 3: I don't know this, and I do know a couple

967
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 3: of people that live in Las Vegas, but I've never

968
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 3: asked them this question. So if you live in Vegas,

969
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 3: you lived in Vegas, I'd love to know how much

970
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 3: does the average resident go to the Strip because I

971
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 3: just I'm curious, like because if I was a local Mike,

972
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 3: like New Yorkers, they're not like, let's go to Times Square,

973
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 3: you know, you know, like that's the part that they

974
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 3: stay away from it.

975
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 2: I mean we're talking Fremont Street to a degree. Then

976
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:00,720
Speaker 2: there's plenty of other places if you you're still looking

977
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 2: for gaming, action or entertainment where you don't have to

978
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 2: go anywhere near the Strip.

979
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 3: Like if Yeah. So I'm just I'm curious because I

980
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 3: and I don't know Las Vegas that well. But it's

981
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 3: also the point now and you're building, you know, a

982
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 3: stadium downtown, you know, right down the strip. Different than

983
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 3: I think it's different than the Raiders a little bit

984
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 3: because Raiders at leased on the other side of the

985
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 3: freeway and it's a football game. It's different. I just

986
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 3: I'm curious with all of that.

987
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 2: So anyway, so that becomes a thing, yeah, right, because

988
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:33,320
Speaker 2: there's only eight plus your preseason and if you play postseason,

989
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:36,280
Speaker 2: I mean, it's an event to go play around because

990
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 2: you're a Chiefs fan, because you're a Cowboy fan going there. Uh,

991
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:43,319
Speaker 2: there's an old, dated kind of data here, but you

992
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 2: know my quick googling skills here. Las Vegas Weekly had

993
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 2: asked locals how often they visit the strip for something

994
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,919
Speaker 2: other than work. Thirty two percent and they got four

995
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 2: hundred respond so it's a statistically valid poll. Thirty two

996
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 2: percent said they only go when visitors are in town,

997
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:05,319
Speaker 2: and twenty three percent vote almost never. Yeah, which I

998
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 2: would guess right if you're in it, Yes, right, if

999
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 2: you're in I mean, I'm a Chicago kid. If you're

1000
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:13,880
Speaker 2: not in the city for work, you can get a

1001
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:15,799
Speaker 2: lot of stuff in the suburbs, or you can pop

1002
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 2: in and get right back out. Sure right, come into

1003
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 2: a game and go down through the l system to

1004
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,760
Speaker 2: Wrigley Field, see a game, pop back out to the suburbs.

1005
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 2: So there's infrastructure in place. I don't think that's the

1006
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 2: same when you talk about larger than that.

1007
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 3: In that case, yes, in in the summertime. I think

1008
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 3: it's different than the Golden Knights in indoor. I also

1009
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 3: think it's different because the Golden Knights are their team. Hm,

1010
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 3: the gold Knights didn't come from anywhere else. The gold

1011
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 3: Knights started in Vegas. It's their Heck, their slogan is

1012
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 3: Vegas Born, so I think all of that place. But

1013
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 3: that's been one it's probably been the biggest conversation that

1014
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 3: we've had in Major League Baseball this year. I mean,

1015
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:57,839
Speaker 3: it's just I'm telling you, throughout the show, you will

1016
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 3: be amazed at all of the stories that will pop

1017
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 3: into your head of what's going on in the first

1018
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:04,319
Speaker 3: two and a half three months of this Major League

1019
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 3: baseball season.

1020
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 2: And I mentioned Jordan Walker before three eighty eight over

1021
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:12,280
Speaker 2: his fourteen game hitting streak coming into this game against

1022
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 2: the Cubs. Cardinals are terrible, but you can always find

1023
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 2: a story. It's like we do with fantasy football. You

1024
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 2: and ilsity I watch a flex podcast. Your team may

1025
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 2: have two wins to their name come early December, but

1026
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 2: you know what, at least three of those guys may

1027
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 2: have some fantasy relevance on a week to week basis

1028
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,320
Speaker 2: because you're not getting shut out every week.

1029
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 3: I love it. And the Cubs, by the way, threatening

1030
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 3: already in the first after their big win.

1031
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 2: See there you go. It escalates quickly. Hey, we're brought

00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,879
Speaker 2: our attention to the NFL and one wide receiver who

1037
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 2: allegedly has two possible destinations, two outcomes despite all the

1038
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 2: hoopla and barnstorming tour. Where's the better fit and why?

1039
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 2: We'll talk about it next year on Fox. After getting

1040
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:10,839
Speaker 2: drum nine to one yesterday in Game one of the

1041
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 2: London Series, Cubs are at it again, beating up on

1042
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:20,280
Speaker 2: the Cardinals three nothing, still top of the first We're

1043
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:24,320
Speaker 2: now twenty five pitches into the first inning bullpen game

1044
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 2: to come here in short order. Yeah, the last place

1045
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:33,880
Speaker 2: Cardinals struggling to steal from the great Joe Namath, Mike Garmin,

1046
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,360
Speaker 2: Dan Byer with you here Fox Sports Sunday, Fox Sports

1047
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 2: Radio Live fromthtyraq dot Com studios. Yeah, this is brutality.

1048
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 2: This is starting to look at the Angels against the

1049
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 2: Rockies last night. Dan, let's it is.

1050
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 3: Yes, Cubs not put four on the board in the

1051
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:55,360
Speaker 3: first but until you get the eight and the thirteen

1052
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 3: or whoever medy.

1053
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 2: It was long road begins with that first step, Dan Byer,

1054
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:04,600
Speaker 2: and that's where we've begune. Just like the barnstorming tour

1055
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 2: of DeAndre Hopkins after exiting Arizona, a team that I

1056
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 2: think if we're we're gonna go down the NBA tanking

1057
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:15,840
Speaker 2: for Victor kind of thing, where in the Arizona is

1058
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 2: clearly a team that is in the what else do

1059
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 2: we have that we can sell for parts kind of mode.

1060
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:22,879
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray I would be shocked if we actually see

1061
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 2: him on a field. Yes, I would say, hey, he

1062
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 2: can move.

1063
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:29,399
Speaker 3: There's no reason because the cardinal schedule by the time

1064
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 3: they get Kyler Murray back will not be worth trying

1065
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 3: to rush him back onto the field.

1066
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:37,440
Speaker 2: Nope. So we'll see if he's in the trade evaluation process,

1067
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 2: that would be my guess as they vie for the

1068
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 2: potential to go after Caleb Williams. But DeAndre Hopkins exits

1069
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:46,839
Speaker 2: stage left, and he's been seen doing a number of

1070
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 2: visits along the way, weight rooms and concerts and you

1071
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 2: name it all. Diana Rassini of ESPN reporting that Hopkins

1072
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 2: is going over offers from the Titans and the Patriots

1073
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 2: as we get into this last lull right mini camps

1074
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 2: ahead of the full on throws of training camp to

1075
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 2: come and beginning of all our fantasy football prognostication, et cetera.

1076
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 2: DeAndre Hopkins at this point, I mean, there are some

1077
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 2: high points, but he comes with the PD test, he

1078
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:23,719
Speaker 2: comes with some injury history and wondering if he can

1079
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 2: be that top flight receiver once again. But two curious spots,

1080
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 2: right Vrabel or Belichick? And when we look at Tannehill?

1081
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,759
Speaker 2: Is Tannehill still a Titan? Is he one of those

1082
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:40,840
Speaker 2: guys that you know, if a team has an injury

1083
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 2: early in training camp, becomes a to the rescue kind

1084
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:47,239
Speaker 2: of mode. Or are we looking at mac Jones and

1085
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 2: this is the all right, We'll put in an A

1086
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 2: list guy to go with the mother money we spent

1087
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:54,960
Speaker 2: on other receivers, tight ends, et cetera, to try to

1088
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 2: push this thing over the top.

1089
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 3: I just find it interesting that it's down to those

1090
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:02,360
Speaker 3: two teams teams that he visited, and none of the

1091
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:05,839
Speaker 3: teams and the quarterbacks that he mentioned on that podcast

1092
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 3: a month or so ago, none of those teams were

1093
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:13,799
Speaker 3: interested in bringing him in at all. I look at

1094
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 3: DeAndre Hopkins in a unique lens of Mike from my perspective,

1095
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 3: because I've always felt I've I've been on the other

1096
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 3: side of the coin with him when he was at

1097
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 3: the top of his game. I maybe wasn't as much

1098
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 3: of a buyer, But when I saw what he did

1099
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 3: last year and coming back from those that six game

1100
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 3: ban I thought that there was that there was promise

1101
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:40,800
Speaker 3: there and it may come through a fantasy football lens,

1102
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 3: but let's also be honest, that's a big part of it.

1103
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 3: I don't think DeAndre hopkins additions to the Titans or

1104
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 3: Patriots is going to make them a Super Bowl contender,

1105
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 3: which is one of the reasons why I'm curious and

1106
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 3: why are those of the two finalists, And I think

1107
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 3: they're the two finalist because they're the only teams that

1108
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:01,240
Speaker 3: are interested. And so now i've you're picking between those two.

1109
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 3: You look at Arizona's likely needing to go a little

1110
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 3: bit further down before bouncing back up, and that's kind

1111
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 3: of how I look at the Tennessee Titans, at least

1112
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 3: from the offensive perspective of it. I mean, there was

1113
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 3: a reason why Derrick Henry was on it was thought

1114
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 3: to maybe be on the trading block this offseason, that

1115
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 3: that team is going in for a reboot. When you

1116
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 3: look at the rest of that division in where Jacksonville

1117
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 3: now is atop that division, Houston trying to turn that

1118
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 3: corner with c. J. Stroud and Will Anderson and now

1119
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 3: Damiko Ryans. The Colts I think hit their rock bottom

1120
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 3: last year and now they're trying to bounce on their

1121
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 3: way up. I don't think Tennessee has unless Will Levis

1122
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 3: is that quarterback of the future. They continually seem to

1123
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 3: be searching. It likely it will come down to money wherever.

1124
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 2: I think that's the larger point and why some of

1125
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 2: these other teams probably didn't get involved.

1126
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 3: Sure, but if i'm if I'm honestly picking like New

1127
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 3: England to me seems like a much better option than

1128
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 3: going to Tennessee. But again, that would be about winning

1129
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 3: football games. And I know it's tough division, but still

1130
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 3: you're in New England. Mac Jones is capable. It may

1131
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 3: not be great, but there's hope that you could maybe

1132
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 3: build something there. To me, New England just seems like

1133
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 3: a much better option for a Tennessee team that I

1134
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 3: have no idea where their direction is.

1135
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 2: No, it's it right. You look at Treylon Burks, looks

1136
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 2: like he could be a player. Could a team could

1137
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 2: team up there and be a decent one two combination.

1138
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 2: The rest of the squad, I don't know when does

1139
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 2: Henry hit his his wall. That's part of the evaluation.

1140
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 2: And we'll get into Melvin Gordon's comments a little later

1141
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 2: on in the show about the running back position, because

1142
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 2: we've talked about it for years from fantasy perspective, in

1143
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 2: the number of multi back approaches, and this is nothing new,

1144
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 2: it's just really been magnified more of these last couple years,

1145
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 2: particularly with teams running deep in the playoffs and making

1146
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 2: Super Bowl runs with low round draft picks, undrafted players

1147
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:10,320
Speaker 2: at that position. That you've got a lot of disgruntled,

1148
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 2: highly paid players at the position. I get it. You

1149
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 2: understand why a Saquon Barkley's frustrated, why Austin Eckler's frustrated.

1150
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 2: But the game moves forward, right, and you've got to

1151
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 2: recognize your place in it. Sitting out is not going

1152
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 2: to help your cause for a year. That's another year

1153
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 2: on your body, even if it's not another three hundred carries,

1154
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 2: you're still a year older. Perception becomes reality when these

1155
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 2: two things hit, and when you've got an injury history

1156
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 2: and such, it becomes an issue. Going back to New England.

1157
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 2: You know, you look at the AFC East, you got

1158
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 2: a lot of cannibalism. Right. We think Buffalo probably slides

1159
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 2: back trying to figure out what's going on with the

1160
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs Josh Allen connection, the Jets. Everybody's darling. That's

1161
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 2: suddenly Aaron Rodgers is not only going to perform well

1162
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 2: for a full season and he's gonna still act like

1163
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 2: the happiest tourist ever to hit in New York, New Jersey,

1164
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 2: but that he's also going to figure out how to

1165
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 2: play in the playoffs for the first time in a

1166
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:16,240
Speaker 2: long time. Yeah, I have to throw the slight. I

1167
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 2: have to a lot during the during the year, obviously,

1168
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 2: you know my guy Smith during the weeknights. A lot

1169
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 2: of battling there. But and then you got Miami. Well,

1170
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 2: are we trusting what's built? Like you can have all

1171
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:32,640
Speaker 2: these skilled position players, right, you can add whatever you

1172
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:37,080
Speaker 2: want quarterbacks, how it goes are we're gonna be okay?

1173
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 2: And we asked that about a lot of quarterbacks. But

1174
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 2: we certainly with Tua Tongueva Looa last year, some scary moments,

1175
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 2: a lot of questions, armchair armchair, you know, physicians to

1176
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:53,200
Speaker 2: some degree and more are our base instincts of my God.

1177
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 2: But it's still just a reality of if he goes down,

1178
01:01:56,640 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 2: what's what's there to take over and keep the line.

1179
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 3: The AFC East and the argument of it the best

1180
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 3: division in football is one that you could have with

1181
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 3: a couple of divisions. I do think that the AFC West,

1182
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 3: obviously with the Chiefs Chargers were a playoff team despite

1183
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 3: the collapse in that playoff game, and you expect something

1184
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 3: better from the Broncos. You also have the NFC East

1185
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 3: with what it was last year with the Giants and

1186
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 3: Cowboys and obviously the Eagles making it to the super Bowl.

1187
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:28,200
Speaker 3: That's part of the conversation. But it's funny when you

1188
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 3: talk about the Dolphins and you talk about the hierarchy there.

1189
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 3: We've talked on the show. I think that the cracks

1190
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 3: in Buffalo are significant, and I think that they will

1191
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 3: have an effect on this season. Usually when this stuff happens,

1192
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 3: Mike in the offseason, it's because there are bigger issues,

1193
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 3: and the Stefan Diggs issue seem to become a bigger issue.

1194
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 3: I don't think that Buffalo is built to withhold this

1195
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 3: sort of this sort of friction, if you will. They're

1196
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 3: a one dimensional team that was also very different when

1197
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 3: Von Miller Tore's acl last year on defense. You know,

1198
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:06,240
Speaker 3: it's a team that relies. You're so heavy on Josh

1199
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 3: Allen and then you don't get after the quarterback and

1200
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:11,600
Speaker 3: that's how you end up losing to Cincinnati and the

1201
01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:14,480
Speaker 3: divisional playoff. And it wasn't like they put Miami away

1202
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 3: in that wild card game. But when it comes to Miami,

1203
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:21,440
Speaker 3: I look at the Dolphins, Mike, I look at that division,

1204
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 3: and I just look at Miami a second. I don't

1205
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 3: know if the Bills are going to be first. I

1206
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 3: don't know if the Jets are going to be first

1207
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:30,440
Speaker 3: in that division, but I just don't think Miami is

1208
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 3: going to be first. They may be a playoff team

1209
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 3: and to a maybe there, but to me, just their

1210
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 3: makeup does not scream division winner. Like if I'm picking

1211
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 3: someone from that division, I much rather pick the Jets

1212
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 3: or Bills to win that division that I would the

1213
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 3: Miami Dolphins.

1214
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it just comes back to the cannibalism

1215
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 2: and with an addition to the original point of DeAndre

1216
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 2: Hopkins and a choice of a squad, all things being equal,

1217
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 2: chance to go show out in New England. Whatever the

1218
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 2: terms of the deal would be, are certainly there. You

1219
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 2: look at the roster as assembled and the style of play.

1220
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 2: They're always competitive, no matter how ugly it may be.

1221
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:17,440
Speaker 2: In the post Tom Brady era. It's not pretty football

1222
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:21,720
Speaker 2: most Sundays, but you're still a five hundred team overall.

1223
01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 2: You've got DeVante Parker, who you and I have been

1224
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:28,040
Speaker 2: talking about for years, get excited about him, flashes a

1225
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 2: little bit and then falls off. Kendrick Bourne had a

1226
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 2: nice year. You bring in Juju Smith Schuster. If you

1227
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:37,440
Speaker 2: can add DeAndre Hopkins to that from Mac Jones, I mean,

1228
01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:43,240
Speaker 2: there's no more excuse making either performs or he doesn't. Yes, right,

1229
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 2: I mean that's one of the things. You still have

1230
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 2: a Hunter Henry there, and Gasicki comes over from Miami.

1231
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 2: So additioned by subtraction, right, you know, Hey, we robbed

1232
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 2: from Miami's riches at the receiving court. Yes, but that's

1233
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 2: just it. Right, You go and you plunder it a

1234
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 2: bit so and you know the defense is always going

1235
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 2: to keep you in games.

1236
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:08,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think New England will be okay. And

1237
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,240
Speaker 3: it's just who's going to give DeAndre Hopkins the most money.

1238
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 3: But I don't think DeAndre Hopkins changes any of the

1239
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 3: hierarchy in the AFC East. I still would put the Dolphins.

1240
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 3: I honestly, as I said will, I will put the

1241
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 3: Dolphins second in that division because I just don't think

1242
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:27,080
Speaker 3: they have the ceiling of the Bills or the Jets.

1243
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:31,240
Speaker 3: I know, you hear Jets talk Monday through Friday, and

1244
01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:35,120
Speaker 3: the hopes are high. They do really have a chance

1245
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:37,480
Speaker 3: to maybe let me in a bottle.

1246
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:42,040
Speaker 2: For a very special season with the talent that's assembled.

1247
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:45,600
Speaker 3: But I don't see that with Miami, and I don't

1248
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 3: see that with New England. Miami. Miami beat a lot

1249
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:52,680
Speaker 3: of bad teams last year, you know, and in the

1250
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 3: division matchup because like, well they beat Buffalo and you

1251
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:58,440
Speaker 3: know they did beat the Lions, who ended up, you know,

1252
01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:01,840
Speaker 3: showing quite the effort, played a lot of close games.

1253
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 3: You had a streak though there a five game losing streak,

1254
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 3: three game losing streak sandwiched in between a five game

1255
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 3: winning streaking so that they can get streaky. It just

1256
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 3: doesn't They don't seem to me to be the team

1257
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:20,480
Speaker 3: that can rise to the level of the division. I

1258
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 3: think it's going to be Buffalo, and I think it's

1259
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:24,520
Speaker 3: going to be the Jets, and if the England ads

1260
01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 3: DeAndre Hopkins. It's just good to make it more difficult,

1261
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:30,560
Speaker 3: as you said, for those teams to make it through

1262
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 3: because they will cannibalize each other.

1263
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:37,120
Speaker 2: We have now cracked the seal on NFL Talk twenty

1264
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:40,920
Speaker 2: twenty three, our road towards opening.

1265
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:42,560
Speaker 3: If you had to pick a winner of that division

1266
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 3: right now, who would it be.

1267
01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 2: I don't want to pick the Jets on principle because

1268
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:51,800
Speaker 2: I hope it falls flat because it's more entertaining five

1269
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 2: nights a week for me. If that's the case, take

1270
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:57,520
Speaker 2: that out of the equation. But I find it hard

1271
01:06:57,640 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 2: not to pick them.

1272
01:06:58,520 --> 01:06:59,080
Speaker 3: I agree.

1273
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 2: I am with right I'm looking for and this is

1274
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:06,920
Speaker 2: football evaluation. Plus, let's face it, folks, we're trying to

1275
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 2: be entertaining and give you information here and honest assessments

1276
01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:15,320
Speaker 2: and whatever. But there are stories we root for. We

1277
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:18,200
Speaker 2: root for things to be big and for the Jets.

1278
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:20,520
Speaker 2: It's either got to be It's like the Dallas Cowboys

1279
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 2: every year. It's either got to be great or it's

1280
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 2: gotta be mired in such misery that it becomes the

1281
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:32,040
Speaker 2: top story. That way, if they're just eight and eight

1282
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:35,960
Speaker 2: going into the final week of the season, we're gonna shrug.

1283
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:39,960
Speaker 2: So either I hope it's a great success or it

1284
01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 2: fails spectacular. Either way, I have to ride the lightning

1285
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:45,440
Speaker 2: with Smith five nights a week, so for me the

1286
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:48,919
Speaker 2: other side, not that I wish any ill health for him,

1287
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:50,920
Speaker 2: I think it would be more entertaining for me on

1288
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:56,400
Speaker 2: a nightly basis. Probably probably will. Probably will. Even though the.

1289
01:07:56,320 --> 01:08:00,280
Speaker 3: Jets finish the season in awful fashion, there does seem

1290
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 3: to be a Tom Brady going to Tampa sort of

1291
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:07,080
Speaker 3: feel to it, sure, where it's not only lifting up

1292
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:10,040
Speaker 3: the quarterback position and erasing the mistakes that were there,

1293
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:14,480
Speaker 3: it's going to lift all boats in New York defense,

1294
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 3: special teams, that sort of thing, just like Brady did

1295
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:18,160
Speaker 3: in Tampa.

1296
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:20,040
Speaker 2: Well, and let's face it, we were talking a lot

1297
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 2: about Major League Baseball. Do some more. As the show

1298
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:26,920
Speaker 2: goes on, with all of the great storylines, we certainly

1299
01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:28,960
Speaker 2: have to look over at the Yankees, because you've got

1300
01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:33,880
Speaker 2: their ownership going on radio and podcasts and everything going,

1301
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 2: what's the problem here, what's your problem? But with Rogers

1302
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 2: going to the Jets, not that the NFL is ever

1303
01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:44,040
Speaker 2: short of storylines, and we have one of manufactured beef

1304
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 2: coming up a little bit later on in the show.

1305
01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:50,240
Speaker 2: That Rogers to the Jets adds a little extra juice, right.

1306
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:53,320
Speaker 2: It's like Russell Wilson going to Denver and then opening

1307
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:56,760
Speaker 2: with Seattle last year, and now Sean Payton is doing

1308
01:08:56,800 --> 01:09:01,240
Speaker 2: a media blackout. There's gonna be no local radio coverage

1309
01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:04,759
Speaker 2: at training camp. He's excising all of that and shutting

1310
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:07,719
Speaker 2: the doors. But we also have video of Russell Wilson's

1311
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:09,479
Speaker 2: now going to be in the greatest shape of his life.

1312
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:12,960
Speaker 3: Dan Byr, I thought he's trying to sell us a product.

1313
01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:15,800
Speaker 2: He might be. I mean, why can't you do both? Hey,

1314

Speaker 2: our sporting universe. It's Isaac Loewen prompt.

1321
01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:40,360
Speaker 4: There is actually Fellaws a Twitter account named at Cardinals Misery.

1322
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:45,840
Speaker 4: Quite appropriate because at Cardinals Misery has just tweeted woke

1323
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:48,439
Speaker 4: up to find out it's four to nothing Cubs in

1324
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 4: the first inning, going back to sleep unquote. They are

1325
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:54,679
Speaker 4: now in the top half of the second inning in London,

1326
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:57,479
Speaker 4: the Cubs leaving the Cardinals ford to nothing. All those

1327
01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 4: runs coming in the first inning on an RBI single

1328
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:03,640
Speaker 4: by Dansby Swanson, a two run double off the centerfield

1329
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:06,720
Speaker 4: wall by Trey Mancini, and an air by Cardinal third

1330
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:11,280
Speaker 4: baseman Nolan Aronato that was one of three Cardinal errors

1331
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:13,439
Speaker 4: in the top half of the first inning. Again, now

1332
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:15,559
Speaker 4: in the top of the second in London, the Cubs

1333
01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:18,160
Speaker 4: of four to nothing lead over the Cardinals, and the

1334
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 4: Cubs have a runner at second base. Meanwhile, speaking of

1335
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:26,720
Speaker 4: blowout scores at Cardinals Misery, didn't see anything so far

1336
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:29,800
Speaker 4: this morning. Maybe there's a Twitter handle out there at

1337
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:32,920
Speaker 4: Rockies Misery because a course field. On Saturday night, the

1338

1339
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:40,200
Speaker 4: a game that the Halos led after four innings twenty

1340
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:43,599
Speaker 4: three to nothing. They scored thirteen runs in the third inning,

1341
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:46,320
Speaker 4: eight runs in the fourth inning, and the Angels had

1342
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:49,840
Speaker 4: five different players with at least three hits and a

1343
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:53,720
Speaker 4: home run. The Washington Nationals what at San Diego Saturday night,

1344
01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:56,240
Speaker 4: two to nothing. The Los Angeles Dodgers over the Houston

1345
01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:58,639
Speaker 4: Astros eight to seven. The Dodgers scored the game winning

1346
01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:00,240
Speaker 4: run in the bottom of the eighth inning on a

1347
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:02,719
Speaker 4: back They're now on a four game winning streak. Finally,

1475
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:07,920
Speaker 3: a player picked in the lottery of the twenty twenty

1476
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:11,960
Speaker 3: three NBA Draft. What school are we missing? I don't

1477
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:14,599
Speaker 3: know if they fell in the top fourteen, but I'm

1478
01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:19,840
Speaker 3: going to say Belmont, Belmont. That's it's quite a Belmont.

1479

01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:37,720
Speaker 6: Belmont Island, Indiana?

1483
01:18:37,920 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 3: Oh, man, I know that they all had first round picks,

1484
01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:42,599
Speaker 3: but yeah, they were outside of the lottery.

1485
01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:46,160
Speaker 4: Ironically, that's Alabama's non conference schedule for football in twenty

1486
01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:46,760
Speaker 4: twenty seven.

1487
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:52,519

Speaker 3: Magic to the Orlando Magic sixth overall.

1489
01:18:56,120 --> 01:18:59,439

1492
01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:10,080
Speaker 2: Here Fox Sports Radio. We've got a tie ball game

1493
01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:14,200
Speaker 2: in London, the Cubs and Cardinals going to the bottom

1494
01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:18,280
Speaker 2: of the fourth. Good capacity crowd, all the pageantry. One

1495
01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:22,080
Speaker 2: of the things you gotta love about the sending games

1496
01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:25,479
Speaker 2: abroad is the the extra pomp and circumstance that comes

1497
01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:27,840
Speaker 2: into it. I did my rant last week pomp and

1498
01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:31,400
Speaker 2: circumstance and graduations of how we celebrate the Pafo family.

1499
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:35,479
Speaker 2: That went over well in the media center at LA

1500
01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:39,240
Speaker 2: Country Club, no question about it. But we've got a

1501
01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:42,799
Speaker 2: tie ballgame, so the Cardinals showing a little bit of life.

1502
01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:46,479
Speaker 3: Converted soccer stadium as well, looking very good on TV.

1503
01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:49,439
Speaker 3: The only thing that always weird to me out is

1504
01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:53,719
Speaker 3: when dugouts aren't dug out of the ground when they're flat.

1505
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:57,519
Speaker 3: No sure with the with the field, it's always been

1506
01:19:57,520 --> 01:20:00,200
Speaker 3: a weird, weird look for me. I think the that

1507
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:03,439
Speaker 3: way in Tampa. I think that's the case, but it's

1508
01:20:03,520 --> 01:20:04,240
Speaker 3: just it's weird.

1509
01:20:04,600 --> 01:20:07,520
Speaker 2: So we've got that, Dan, We've got some golf going.

1510
01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:09,000
Speaker 3: On DP World Tour in Germany.

1511
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:13,800
Speaker 2: We're in Germany, and then we're watching the Dolphins and

1512
01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:17,799
Speaker 2: the then Washington Redskins getting after it as we replay

1513
01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:20,200
Speaker 2: Super Bowls. We don't just do it in our minds, Dan,

1514
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:23,280
Speaker 2: We've been doing it watching Joe th Eisman throw one

1515
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:26,680
Speaker 2: of the worst fakes on an end around that I

1516
01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:29,800
Speaker 2: think I've ever seen any dove to the ground. But

1517
01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:33,960
Speaker 2: the helmets and just the again, the pageantry, the pomp

1518
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:34,760
Speaker 2: and circumstance.

1519
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:38,320
Speaker 3: Super Bowl oreous, Super Bowl seventeen. And one of the

1520
01:20:38,360 --> 01:20:42,400
Speaker 3: things to note from this, this was this season off

1521
01:20:42,479 --> 01:20:45,400
Speaker 3: of the strike year, so there was the strike in

1522
01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:52,160
Speaker 3: eighty two, but also the Washington helmet and the helmet

1523
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:55,200
Speaker 3: nerds like myself know this, but I don't know how

1524
01:20:55,240 --> 01:20:58,479
Speaker 3: many football fans actually know this, but the feather that

1525
01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:02,920
Speaker 3: was used in the Washington logo actually curls around the

1526
01:21:02,960 --> 01:21:05,439
Speaker 3: logo and the only time that it did that was

1527
01:21:05,479 --> 01:21:08,200
Speaker 3: in the nineteen eighty two season. If you look at

1528
01:21:08,240 --> 01:21:11,439
Speaker 3: other Washington helmets at that time, the feather on the

1529
01:21:11,479 --> 01:21:15,120
Speaker 3: back would go straight down. It would just like fall straight.

1530
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:19,599
Speaker 3: This one actually curves with the circle on the logo

1531
01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:22,240
Speaker 3: on the helmets the only season. Heck, they win this

1532
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:23,960
Speaker 3: Super Bowl. I don't know why they didn't keep it

1533
01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:26,360
Speaker 3: for the uh, you know, for the other years, but

1534
01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:28,760
Speaker 3: then it went back to the more traditional one.

1535
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:32,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, watching the players run around, and you know, we

1536
01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:36,400
Speaker 2: watch the evolution of players, size, speed, all of those

1537
01:21:36,439 --> 01:21:39,400
Speaker 2: things and the difference through the years. But some of

1538
01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:42,160
Speaker 2: the names you've come to know and recognize to the years.

1539
01:21:42,200 --> 01:21:43,880
Speaker 2: I do have one question out of this, though, Dan,

1540
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:45,920
Speaker 2: what's that? Do you have that replica helmet up on

1541
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:46,320
Speaker 2: your wall?

1542
01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:49,760
Speaker 3: I don't I have. I have a Commander's No, I

1543
01:21:49,800 --> 01:21:53,360
Speaker 3: do I helmet. I don't have the eighty two. I

1544
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:57,200
Speaker 3: do not have that specific one. I do have. I

1545
01:21:57,240 --> 01:22:01,360
Speaker 3: do have the normal redskin one that they wore. I

1546
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:03,519
Speaker 3: do have a football team one with just the number,

1547
01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:05,680
Speaker 3: and I do have the commanders, but I just I

1548
01:22:05,720 --> 01:22:10,000
Speaker 3: don't have the I don't have the curved one.

1549
01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:13,439
Speaker 2: Okay, just as long as it doesn't you know, set

1550
01:22:13,479 --> 01:22:17,400
Speaker 2: me back majorly in the wallet. Assume it shows up

1551
01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:22,000
Speaker 2: for your holiday holiday holidays, all right, if you remember

1552
01:22:22,120 --> 01:22:24,879
Speaker 2: that I wrote it down, it'll go into my calendar.

1553
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:27,680
Speaker 2: There are two things. And Don Strack is on my

1554
01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:28,679
Speaker 2: on my screen.

1555
01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:30,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's because he's about to go into the game.

1556
01:22:30,600 --> 01:22:34,519
Speaker 3: You want to know why this is? This game stands

1557
01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:37,479
Speaker 3: out for a couple of reasons. Super Bowl seventeen. Why

1558
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:41,360
Speaker 3: it's important. Number one, the John Riggins run, I think

1559
01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:43,960
Speaker 3: is the one that is is the most what this

1560
01:22:44,120 --> 01:22:48,759
Speaker 3: is most famous for. This is also the year prior

1561
01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:52,040
Speaker 3: to the drafting of Dan Marino. Sure, David Woodley in

1562
01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:58,080
Speaker 3: Super Bowl seventeen went four for fourteen. That's it. The

1563
01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 3: Dolphins completed four pas in this game. So you want

1564
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:05,439
Speaker 3: to talk about what Dan Marino did with the Dolphins,

1565
01:23:05,439 --> 01:23:10,560
Speaker 3: that's that's who. These Miami Dolphins were an atrocious offense

1566
01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:14,640
Speaker 3: at that point. But I would also say, Mike aesthetically,

1567
01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:19,360
Speaker 3: with the Dolphins uniforms and what Washington is wearing, I

1568
01:23:19,400 --> 01:23:23,040
Speaker 3: think it could be the second best looking Super Bowl

1569
01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:26,479
Speaker 3: uniform wise. We've ever gotten my all time favorite with

1570
01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:30,280
Speaker 3: the field in the uniforms super Bowl twenty two Broncos

1571
01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:33,759
Speaker 3: against Washington. At that time, the Broncos orange just pops

1572
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:38,040
Speaker 3: the end zones popped. The maroon offers this great contrast.

1573
01:23:38,479 --> 01:23:43,320
Speaker 3: But this look with the the aqua of the Dolphins

1574
01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:47,640
Speaker 3: such a strong, strong look. I would actually if the

1575
01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:51,440
Speaker 3: Dolphins would have worn these uniforms with their the aqua

1576
01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:53,719
Speaker 3: in the Super Bowl against the forty nine ers, maybe

1577
01:23:54,360 --> 01:23:56,960
Speaker 3: that one would have been even higher rated.

1578
01:23:57,840 --> 01:24:00,639
Speaker 2: You think you'd ever want to expand, so maybe team

1579
01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:04,160
Speaker 2: up with our friend CHRISA. Thompson and get into the

1580
01:24:04,200 --> 01:24:07,160
Speaker 2: interior design mode to where maybe you can help with

1581
01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:12,280
Speaker 2: people's man caves. Get the colors. Yes, there you go,

1582
01:24:12,320 --> 01:24:13,000
Speaker 2: I'm finding enough.

1583
01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:16,559
Speaker 3: I had a display of my mini helmets that I

1584
01:24:16,680 --> 01:24:19,840
Speaker 3: changed within the past twelve years, went to a completely

1585
01:24:19,880 --> 01:24:23,600
Speaker 3: different had to throw away all the Ikia shelves that

1586
01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:26,960
Speaker 3: I bought about that actually my son uses them to stack,

1587
01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:30,519
Speaker 3: but I've put on many helmet holders. Now.

1588
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:32,320
Speaker 2: Well, since you don't have a bunch of cords of

1589
01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:34,439
Speaker 2: wood around for him, and then you don't work on

1590
01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:36,840
Speaker 2: a farm, I guess you can get the kid to

1591
01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:41,360
Speaker 2: do the stacking of planks. I'll have to show you

1592
01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:42,000
Speaker 2: the display.

1593
01:24:42,040 --> 01:24:45,280
Speaker 3: Isaac Lohenkron, you want to get in on thisversation.

1594
01:24:45,439 --> 01:24:47,559
Speaker 4: I do have a tidbit about super Bowl seventeen, but

1595
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:51,200
Speaker 4: I must say that's actually a great idea. I have

1596
01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:56,400
Speaker 4: just registered man Cavemaestro dot com on behalf of soon

1597
01:24:56,439 --> 01:24:59,080
Speaker 4: to be billionaire Dan Bayer. You want to talk about

1598
01:24:59,080 --> 01:24:59,840
Speaker 4: an oni.

1599
01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:01,960
Speaker 3: The title.

1600
01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:03,759
Speaker 2: Yes, that is true.

1601
01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:06,960
Speaker 4: So super Bowl seventeen, dick Enberg is doing the game

1602
01:25:07,120 --> 01:25:12,280
Speaker 4: for NBC, and obviously it's the biggest role in our industry.

1603
01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:17,639
Speaker 4: It's the biggest audience in television every year, so everybody's watching,

1604
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:21,240
Speaker 4: and just before a kickoff, there is a technical glitch

1605
01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:25,439
Speaker 4: in dick Enberg's headset, so he starts hearing himself on

1606
01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:29,680
Speaker 4: a delay, so when he says, Washington will receive the

1607
01:25:29,720 --> 01:25:33,840
Speaker 4: opening kickoff. When he says kickoff, he's hearing in his

1608
01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:37,519
Speaker 4: own earphones Washington because of this delay, and he has

1609
01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:40,519
Speaker 4: to do the Super Bowl before the biggest audience in

1610
01:25:40,560 --> 01:25:43,519
Speaker 4: the world. He does the whole first quarter that way.

1611
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:45,599
Speaker 4: He thinks it's going to be the end of his career,

1612
01:25:45,600 --> 01:25:48,320
Speaker 4: but it turns out to be pretty good. But afterwards

1613
01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:52,080
Speaker 4: he was completely furious at this technical glitch. Can you

1614
01:25:52,120 --> 01:25:55,559
Speaker 4: imagine something like that happening just suddenly out of the

1615
01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:58,800
Speaker 4: blue in the biggest audience that you've ever experienced in

1616
01:25:58,840 --> 01:25:59,200
Speaker 4: your life.

1617
01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:01,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's happened before.

1618
01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:02,920
Speaker 5: He says, sarcastically.

1619
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:06,320
Speaker 2: Was it the Bonds home run?

1620
01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:08,479
Speaker 5: Oh, that's that's another story.

1621
01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:10,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, cut out.

1622
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:13,400
Speaker 7: Actually good that it did, you know, because it actually

1623
01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:16,559
Speaker 7: I mean, I do think you can't say too much

1624
01:26:16,560 --> 01:26:21,320
Speaker 7: of that situation, but you got to let it breathe.

1625
01:26:21,479 --> 01:26:23,120
Speaker 5: That really let it breathe on that occasion.

1626
01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:26,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, someone just holding down that you will not talk

1627
01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:30,080
Speaker 2: button right now. He's Dan Byer on Mike harmon Fox

1628
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:32,439
Speaker 2: Sports Sunday, Fox Sports Radio. You know what, since we

1629
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:34,640
Speaker 2: passed the batad to him, let's let them hold it

1630
01:26:34,640 --> 01:26:36,519
Speaker 2: a little bit longer. Let's kick it over to Isaac

1631
01:26:36,640 --> 01:26:39,000
Speaker 2: Loewenkron get an update on what's trend to get our

1632
01:26:39,040 --> 01:26:39,719
Speaker 2: sporting universe.

1633
01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:40,400
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what.

1634
01:26:40,720 --> 01:26:43,880
Speaker 4: The Chicago Cubs and Saint Louis Cardinals are kicking it

1635
01:26:44,040 --> 01:26:47,479
Speaker 4: all over the yard in London. We had an account

1636
01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:52,120
Speaker 4: earlier at Cardinals Misery Wake Up, see that the Cardinals

1637
01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:54,200
Speaker 4: are trailing the Cubs forward to nothing at the top

1638
01:26:54,240 --> 01:26:57,320
Speaker 4: of the first inning, and at Cardinals Misery tweeted, I'm

1639
01:26:57,320 --> 01:26:59,960
Speaker 4: going back to sleep. Will somebody wake up at car

1640
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:02,439
Speaker 4: Cardinals misery because would you believe They're in the bottom

1641
01:27:02,439 --> 01:27:04,800
Speaker 4: of the fourth inning right now and the Cardinals have

1642
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:08,080
Speaker 4: just taken the lead over the Cubs five to four.

1643
01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:10,080
Speaker 4: So the Cubs four runs at the top of the

1644
01:27:10,120 --> 01:27:13,080
Speaker 4: first inning and an RBI single by Dansby Swanson, two

1645
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:15,840
Speaker 4: run double off the centerfield wall by Trey Mancini, and

1646
01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:19,400
Speaker 4: an error by Cardinals third baseman Nolan Aronado. But the

1647
01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:21,880
Speaker 4: Cardinals got back into it three runs at the bottom

1648
01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:25,280
Speaker 4: of the second inning, Tommy Edmund an RBI infield single,

1649
01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:28,519
Speaker 4: Brendan Donovan a two run single, and then at the

1650
01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:30,720
Speaker 4: bottom of the third inning, the Cardinals would tie it

1651
01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:34,360
Speaker 4: when Jordan Walker delivered an RBI single. Walker now on

1652
01:27:34,439 --> 01:27:38,400
Speaker 4: a fifteen game hitting streak, and moments ago the Cardinals

1653
01:27:38,640 --> 01:27:41,880
Speaker 4: took the lead. Paul Goldschmid an RBI single, So it

1654
01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:44,920
Speaker 4: is four to excuse me, it's five to four now

1655
01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:47,200
Speaker 4: the Cardinals over the Cubs at the bottom of the

1656
01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:50,200
Speaker 4: fourth inning in London, England, a game in which the

1657
01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:53,160
Speaker 4: Cardinals fell behind four to nothing to the Cubs in

1658
01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:55,320
Speaker 4: the top half of the first inning. Speaking of a

1659
01:27:55,320 --> 01:27:58,120
Speaker 4: lot of run scoring, on Saturday night, the Los Angeles

1660
01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:02,360
Speaker 4: Angels What a Colorado twenty five to one. The Angels

1661
01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:05,599
Speaker 4: led the game after only four innings twenty three to

1662
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:08,519
Speaker 4: nothing that included a thirteen run third inning and an

1663
01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:12,200
Speaker 4: eight run fourth inning. The Angels had five different players

1664
01:28:12,240 --> 01:28:15,200
Speaker 4: who had at least three hits and a home run.

1665
01:28:15,280 --> 01:28:17,960
Speaker 4: Also Saturday night, at the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the

1666
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:21,160
Speaker 4: Houston Astros eight to seven, scoring the game winning run

1667
01:28:21,240 --> 01:28:23,160
Speaker 4: on a bock of all things, in the bottom of

1668
01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:26,200
Speaker 4: the eighth inning. The Dodgers on a four game winning streak. Finally,

1669
01:28:26,200 --> 01:28:29,160
Speaker 4: in the NBA ESPN reporting, Josh Hart and the New

1670
01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:32,320
Speaker 4: York Knicks agreed to extend the deadline on his thirteen

1671
01:28:32,360 --> 01:28:36,240
Speaker 4: million dollar player option until Thursday. The original deadline had

1680
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:02,560
Speaker 2: bit of an anxious moment though we don't have the

1681
01:29:02,600 --> 01:29:05,360
Speaker 2: sound out obviously in the studio, but a very big

1682
01:29:05,400 --> 01:29:08,559
Speaker 2: conference on the mound before he exited. As soon as

1683
01:29:08,600 --> 01:29:10,400
Speaker 2: the trainers come out, you get a little bit nervous.

1684
01:29:10,680 --> 01:29:12,960
Speaker 2: Nine and four coming into the game. A two two

1685
01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:16,720
Speaker 2: four era chased from this one, but had an entourage

1686
01:29:17,160 --> 01:29:18,800
Speaker 2: heading back to the dugouts.

1687
01:29:19,600 --> 01:29:23,400
Speaker 3: That's never good. So hopefully the best for Marcus Stroman

1688
01:29:23,479 --> 01:29:27,080
Speaker 3: and the Cubs, because I mean, he's been obviously one

1689
01:29:27,080 --> 01:29:30,720
Speaker 3: of their bright spots of this season. That division is

1690
01:29:31,400 --> 01:29:34,040
Speaker 3: not over with no, not at all by any means.

1691
01:29:34,280 --> 01:29:37,240
Speaker 3: So I don't know the Cubs have enough to put

1692
01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:41,640
Speaker 3: anything together, but obviously Stroman's health is going to be

1693
01:29:41,680 --> 01:29:44,320
Speaker 3: of the utmost importance. He was going to be hitted

1694
01:29:44,360 --> 01:29:46,960
Speaker 3: to the All Star Game. Hopefully, hopefully still he still is.

1695
01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:50,200
Speaker 2: Ye Es shook his hand a bit awkwardly after the

1696
01:29:50,240 --> 01:29:52,799
Speaker 2: delivery of a pitch. We'll see if there's any update

1697
01:29:52,880 --> 01:29:54,040
Speaker 2: as we continue here.

1698
01:29:54,200 --> 01:29:56,800
Speaker 3: I still have just stuck on the replay of Super

1699
01:29:56,800 --> 01:29:59,280
Speaker 3: Bowl seventeen, and I'll tell you for two reasons, Mike

1700
01:29:59,439 --> 01:30:02,240
Speaker 3: and we can move off of it. Number One, I

1701
01:30:02,280 --> 01:30:05,200
Speaker 3: love when the NFL network shows old games. Like last night,

1702
01:30:05,240 --> 01:30:07,400
Speaker 3: I was flipping around the channels. They were showing the

1703
01:30:07,439 --> 01:30:09,000
Speaker 3: Dolphins and Niners from this part.

1704
01:30:09,160 --> 01:30:11,320
Speaker 2: You get sucked into those, like I get sucked into

1705
01:30:11,439 --> 01:30:13,880
Speaker 2: a Law and Order episodes. Well I did.

1706
01:30:14,040 --> 01:30:16,639
Speaker 3: I didn't want to watch a game that happened seven

1707
01:30:16,680 --> 01:30:19,040
Speaker 3: months ago or whatever it was, Like, I don't need

1708
01:30:19,080 --> 01:30:21,800
Speaker 3: to see that one again. I like to see this,

1709
01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:24,200
Speaker 3: like I like to see the games of you know,

1710
01:30:24,320 --> 01:30:27,439
Speaker 3: of the yester year that we can that we could

1711
01:30:27,479 --> 01:30:30,200
Speaker 3: watch and then you're like, oh, yeah, that's right, that happened,

1712
01:30:30,240 --> 01:30:33,160
Speaker 3: Or maybe watch a cowboy Niners game, you know from

1713
01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:37,400
Speaker 3: the nineties when they mattered. Yes, absolutely absolutely, but.

1714
01:30:37,520 --> 01:30:40,120
Speaker 2: John Riggins, right, the graphic just goes up Super Bowl

1715
01:30:40,120 --> 01:30:42,680
Speaker 2: record thirty five carries and you're watching him and the

1716
01:30:42,880 --> 01:30:45,760
Speaker 2: legs are still pumping. He's got three guys attempting to

1717
01:30:45,840 --> 01:30:48,439
Speaker 2: drag him down. I don't know. It's great to kind

1718
01:30:48,439 --> 01:30:51,320
Speaker 2: of go back. I mean, one, we were kids, and

1719
01:30:51,400 --> 01:30:54,040
Speaker 2: so this is you know, bringing that back a little bit,

1720
01:30:54,280 --> 01:30:57,559
Speaker 2: but also just remembering where the game came from, all

1721
01:30:57,600 --> 01:31:00,000
Speaker 2: those great rivalries and such of the past.

1722
01:31:00,120 --> 01:31:03,599
Speaker 3: But I think and that point is so on point, Mike,

1723
01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:06,160
Speaker 3: because I think it's a bigger picture and you can

1724
01:31:06,240 --> 01:31:08,479
Speaker 3: take this into anything that we say. And I've had

1725
01:31:08,479 --> 01:31:12,040
Speaker 3: a buddy tell me this one time, said everything when

1726
01:31:12,040 --> 01:31:15,400
Speaker 3: you were twelve years old was awesome. So when you

1727
01:31:15,439 --> 01:31:19,880
Speaker 3: look back at at like the prime years of your life,

1728
01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:23,240
Speaker 3: the sports that you watched when you were twelve, when

1729
01:31:23,240 --> 01:31:26,400
Speaker 3: you were thirteen, you were fourteen, you will always go

1730
01:31:26,479 --> 01:31:29,679
Speaker 3: to bat for those. And I feel like that's that's

1731
01:31:29,680 --> 01:31:32,679
Speaker 3: how it gets when we talk about, you know, Jordan

1732
01:31:32,760 --> 01:31:36,360
Speaker 3: against Lebron, when we you know, talk about greatest teams,

1733
01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:39,240
Speaker 3: it's always like you were always taking up for your era.

1734
01:31:40,080 --> 01:31:43,120
Speaker 3: And I just mentioned earlier that David Woodley completed four

1735
01:31:43,160 --> 01:31:45,200
Speaker 3: passes in the Super Bowl. What I remember from the

1736
01:31:45,240 --> 01:31:49,080
Speaker 3: Super Bowl again is the John Riggins run. Washington wins

1737
01:31:49,240 --> 01:31:53,200
Speaker 3: twenty seven to seventeen. What a great victory. We don't

1738
01:31:53,200 --> 01:31:55,559
Speaker 3: talk about a Super Bowl where a team completed four

1739
01:31:55,640 --> 01:32:00,160
Speaker 3: passes and within that mic they didn't complete a pass

1740
01:32:00,240 --> 01:32:03,759
Speaker 3: in the final forty minutes of the game, the final

1741
01:32:03,800 --> 01:32:05,720
Speaker 3: forty minutes of the biggest game of the year, the

1742
01:32:05,760 --> 01:32:09,680
Speaker 3: Miami Dolphins did not complete a pass. So when we

1743
01:32:09,720 --> 01:32:12,720
Speaker 3: talk about looking back on it. I look back on

1744
01:32:12,760 --> 01:32:17,640
Speaker 3: it because I say, Riggins running best uniforms, you know,

1745
01:32:18,240 --> 01:32:22,680
Speaker 3: Dolphins and then the Redskins and the Hogs, and what

1746
01:32:23,200 --> 01:32:27,280
Speaker 3: a great era when Miami had such a putrid offense

1747
01:32:28,040 --> 01:32:30,800
Speaker 3: that they didn't complete a pass for the final two

1748
01:32:30,840 --> 01:32:34,880
Speaker 3: hours of the actual broadcast. Like those things, those things

1749
01:32:34,960 --> 01:32:36,600
Speaker 3: can get lost in the shuffles, and I think it

1750
01:32:36,640 --> 01:32:37,960
Speaker 3: happens with a lot of our stuff.

1751
01:32:38,040 --> 01:32:41,200
Speaker 2: Buddy, I got to a bear super Bowl with Rex

1752
01:32:41,240 --> 01:32:44,840
Speaker 2: Grossman based on Devin Hester and the defense scoring a

1753
01:32:44,840 --> 01:32:45,599
Speaker 2: lot of points. Yeah.

1754
01:32:45,760 --> 01:32:48,559
Speaker 3: Hey, twenty years snammik, how about that Super Bowl forty

1755
01:32:48,600 --> 01:32:51,280
Speaker 3: one appearance? Maybe they'll still rip on Rex Grossman.

1756
01:32:51,400 --> 01:32:53,479
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it's always going to be the one.

1757
01:32:53,520 --> 01:32:55,880
Speaker 2: I mean, Manning got his, was he great? No? No,

1758
01:32:56,560 --> 01:33:01,280
Speaker 2: The biggest thing from it was Prince performing purple range Yeah, Rain, Yes,

1759
01:33:01,400 --> 01:33:04,120
Speaker 2: that will always be the memory of that Super Bowl.

1760
01:33:04,479 --> 01:33:06,519
Speaker 2: Now for me, the other one you go to twelve

1761
01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:09,760
Speaker 2: years old, that's nineteen eighty five for me, Yes, and

1762
01:33:09,840 --> 01:33:13,400
Speaker 2: embars running through now the year before I was laid

1763
01:33:13,439 --> 01:33:16,240
Speaker 2: up with the surgery, so I had to skip football season,

1764
01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:18,559
Speaker 2: like it was terrible. So the eighty four team that

1765
01:33:18,640 --> 01:33:21,719
Speaker 2: lost to the forty nine ers, a lot of investment,

1766
01:33:21,920 --> 01:33:26,240
Speaker 2: a lot of time sitting around watching eighty five. Just

1767
01:33:26,320 --> 01:33:28,639
Speaker 2: one that lives forever. I think my brother still has

1768
01:33:28,680 --> 01:33:32,080
Speaker 2: the video tapes that we had of those games with

1769
01:33:32,160 --> 01:33:33,960
Speaker 2: all the commercials still intact.

1770
01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:36,920
Speaker 3: And those are even that's the key, Yes, that's the

1771
01:33:36,960 --> 01:33:39,559
Speaker 3: good part. And then Washington wins the Super Bowl and

1772
01:33:39,560 --> 01:33:42,000
Speaker 3: then the next year they get trumps by the Raiders.

1773
01:33:42,320 --> 01:33:44,240
Speaker 3: You know, they lose thirty eight to nine, and then

1774
01:33:44,280 --> 01:33:49,599
Speaker 3: so there's it's It's just funny to me because maybe

1775
01:33:49,640 --> 01:33:51,760
Speaker 3: sometimes when you go back in your memory or you

1776
01:33:51,840 --> 01:33:55,560
Speaker 3: are thinking, you do forget all of the bad, You

1777
01:33:55,880 --> 01:33:58,479
Speaker 3: forget the negative, you forget like the context that it

1778
01:33:58,640 --> 01:34:01,800
Speaker 3: was in to have a game that I By the way,

1779
01:34:02,240 --> 01:34:04,320
Speaker 3: I knew this stat and I'd known it for a while,

1780
01:34:04,360 --> 01:34:07,559
Speaker 3: but I didn't know it, say growing up. I'd known

1781
01:34:07,600 --> 01:34:09,960
Speaker 3: it recently because you look back at super Bowls, but

1782
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:13,160
Speaker 3: that it's on right now, I think it's a big point.

1783
01:34:13,240 --> 01:34:16,760
Speaker 3: And how when we're looking back at Michael Jordan, you

1784
01:34:16,840 --> 01:34:21,439
Speaker 3: can nitpick certain things and say that this was great

1785
01:34:21,600 --> 01:34:24,800
Speaker 3: or this wasn't great, or they were only this, but

1786
01:34:24,920 --> 01:34:27,640
Speaker 3: at times we kind of just say, oh yeah, everything was.

1787
01:34:28,120 --> 01:34:30,840
Speaker 3: Everything was either great or everything was awful. Here was

1788
01:34:30,880 --> 01:34:34,439
Speaker 3: a game that was competitive until Riggins took over, but really,

1789
01:34:34,479 --> 01:34:36,719
Speaker 3: how competitive can it be if your team's not completing

1790
01:34:36,760 --> 01:34:39,360
Speaker 3: a pass. I think it ties into how we look

1791
01:34:39,400 --> 01:34:42,679
Speaker 3: at sports and how we debate sports from eras, because

1792
01:34:42,760 --> 01:34:46,120
Speaker 3: a lot of times the bad ends up getting forgotten about.

1793
01:34:46,280 --> 01:34:48,840
Speaker 2: But it's kind of funny. One of the taglines for

1794
01:34:48,920 --> 01:34:52,320
Speaker 2: the show Smith and I do is always remember in games,

1795
01:34:52,600 --> 01:34:54,960
Speaker 2: they don't have to be pretty, they just have to

1796
01:34:55,000 --> 01:35:00,519
Speaker 2: be close. In bidal minutes could be the worstest X

1797
01:35:00,560 --> 01:35:02,960
Speaker 2: on everything, but if it's close, we care.

1798
01:35:03,280 --> 01:35:05,200
Speaker 3: I was it a great game? I will correct people

1799
01:35:05,240 --> 01:35:08,439
Speaker 3: and say it was a great ending. When Ohio State

1800
01:35:08,479 --> 01:35:11,400
Speaker 3: when they went undefeated with Murice Coleret you mentioned him

1801
01:35:11,400 --> 01:35:13,599
Speaker 3: earlier in two thousand and two, and then they played

1802
01:35:13,640 --> 01:35:17,599
Speaker 3: a game against Perdue that was awful, especially if you're

1803
01:35:17,760 --> 01:35:20,960
Speaker 3: an Ohio State fan. You know, for fifty nine minutes

1804
01:35:21,400 --> 01:35:24,519
Speaker 3: and then Greg Crenzel hits Michael Jenkins down the sideline

1805
01:35:24,560 --> 01:35:28,240
Speaker 3: on a fourth down and everything is great, but great ending,

1806
01:35:28,600 --> 01:35:29,959
Speaker 3: not a great game exactly.

1807
01:35:30,040 --> 01:35:32,920
Speaker 2: He's Dan Bayer Mike Harmon coming up next. Not only

Speaker 2: a lot of activity in that London series, Cubs and Cardinals.

1832
01:36:55,400 --> 01:36:58,800
Speaker 3: It's good that there are runs being scored, just the

1833
01:36:58,880 --> 01:37:00,840
Speaker 3: Cubs are the ones to score. I'm glad that we

1834
01:37:00,920 --> 01:37:03,880
Speaker 3: get to show the London fans a little bit more

1835
01:37:03,880 --> 01:37:07,600
Speaker 3: of an even affair between the Cubs and Cardinals. And

1836
01:37:07,640 --> 01:37:11,320
Speaker 3: you mentioned this earlier, one of the rivalries that really

1837
01:37:12,439 --> 01:37:15,360
Speaker 3: is a big part of baseball, and I think we

1838
01:37:15,479 --> 01:37:19,760
Speaker 3: know so much of Giants, Dodgers, obviously, Red Sox, Yankees,

1839
01:37:20,280 --> 01:37:23,080
Speaker 3: but like Cubs Cardinals is another and the Cubs, you know,

1840
01:37:23,120 --> 01:37:26,519
Speaker 3: White Sox have their own rivalry. I think Brewers fans

1841
01:37:26,520 --> 01:37:28,240
Speaker 3: feel they have a rivalry with the Cubs. I don't

1842
01:37:28,240 --> 01:37:30,920
Speaker 3: know how much the Cubs fans actually feel the other

1843
01:37:31,040 --> 01:37:34,400
Speaker 3: way with that, but Cubs Cardinals is a is a

1844
01:37:34,600 --> 01:37:39,160
Speaker 3: real deal rivalry, and I would say, Mike, a top

1845
01:37:39,320 --> 01:37:41,120
Speaker 3: three rivalry in Major League Baseball.

1846
01:37:41,160 --> 01:37:44,560
Speaker 2: Top three. So you got Giants, Dodgers.

1847
01:37:44,200 --> 01:37:46,760
Speaker 3: Yep at two, Yankees, Red Sox one.

1848
01:37:47,600 --> 01:37:50,760
Speaker 2: I do like that there was actually some consternation from

1849
01:37:50,760 --> 01:37:55,719
Speaker 2: within the dugouts of the potential over exposure of Red

1850
01:37:55,760 --> 01:37:58,360
Speaker 2: Sox Yankees. Why are we on Sunday Night Baseball again,

1851
01:38:00,640 --> 01:38:03,880
Speaker 2: because that's what everybody has decided that they want, and

1852
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:07,240
Speaker 2: ratings for years tell us I agree what should be there.

1853
01:38:07,320 --> 01:38:10,120
Speaker 3: I agree wholeheartedly. I actually I feel the same way

1854
01:38:10,160 --> 01:38:13,880
Speaker 3: about the NFC East like I just I don't care

1855
01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:16,679
Speaker 3: as much about a Giant's commander's game as I think

1856
01:38:16,720 --> 01:38:22,800
Speaker 3: the network executives feel. However, in saying all of that,

1857
01:38:23,400 --> 01:38:27,280
Speaker 3: I found myself victim to this. Gosh now eight years

1858
01:38:27,280 --> 01:38:29,759
Speaker 3: ago and doing the math, we were going to Boston

1859
01:38:29,800 --> 01:38:33,600
Speaker 3: for a vacation, and I felt like I hit the

1860
01:38:33,640 --> 01:38:36,559
Speaker 3: lottery because the Yankees were in town. Nice to go

1861
01:38:36,600 --> 01:38:40,160
Speaker 3: to Fenway and to see a Yankees Red Sox game

1862
01:38:41,120 --> 01:38:43,800
Speaker 3: like there were there wouldn't have been a if you

1863
01:38:43,800 --> 01:38:46,639
Speaker 3: could pick any team to see, that would be it.

1864
01:38:46,720 --> 01:38:49,519
Speaker 3: And so so like I, for as much as I

1865
01:38:49,640 --> 01:38:51,840
Speaker 3: want to complain about it, when I was putting the

1866
01:38:51,920 --> 01:38:54,720
Speaker 3: situation of who would you like to see? Yeah, I

1867
01:38:54,840 --> 01:38:56,080
Speaker 3: like to see the Yankees come to town.

1868
01:38:56,160 --> 01:38:57,439
Speaker 2: I don't have to do that. All the way back

1869
01:38:57,479 --> 01:39:00,519
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety eight, we sat in the right field bleachers.

1870
01:39:00,560 --> 01:39:03,240
Speaker 2: Those are the seats that I was able to procure.

1871
01:39:03,920 --> 01:39:07,759
Speaker 2: In my particular section. I had seven security guards. Really,

1872
01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:12,680
Speaker 2: that's how much they expected shenanigans and chaos for that

1873
01:39:12,720 --> 01:39:15,559
Speaker 2: particular series. I got to see Pedro pitch too.

1874
01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:19,000
Speaker 3: It was a little it was a little more subdued

1875
01:39:19,040 --> 01:39:21,800
Speaker 3: when I went. Although that was the game where I

1876
01:39:21,880 --> 01:39:23,800
Speaker 3: got up to get a lemonade and a follow ball

1877
01:39:23,880 --> 01:39:25,360
Speaker 3: came and hit my empty seat.

1878
01:39:25,680 --> 01:39:26,000
Speaker 2: Wow.

1879
01:39:26,200 --> 01:39:29,120
Speaker 3: Yes, that's the closest, the closest I've ever gotten to

1880
01:39:29,160 --> 01:39:32,520
Speaker 3: catching a follow ball. I was out getting a lemonade

1881
01:39:32,920 --> 01:39:33,400
Speaker 3: for my wife.

1882
01:39:33,600 --> 01:39:34,280
Speaker 2: Good lemonade.

1883
01:39:34,400 --> 01:39:35,280
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's hers.

1884
01:39:35,320 --> 01:39:36,400
Speaker 2: Why didn't she catch the ball?

1885
01:39:37,000 --> 01:39:39,680
Speaker 3: She tried, She did try. He was a guy that

1886
01:39:39,760 --> 01:39:41,840
Speaker 3: the ball hit My chair fell down to the guy

1887
01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:45,120
Speaker 3: that was in front of her. I grabbed it, so yep.

1888
01:39:45,560 --> 01:39:49,559
Speaker 3: Oh wow. After by the way, ricocheg off some lady's head.

1889
01:39:49,840 --> 01:39:55,599
Speaker 2: So then that's an important part of the story there, dad. Yes, yes,

1890
01:39:55,760 --> 01:39:59,160
Speaker 2: that's the seat and the role. Okay, that's fine. Oh wait,

1891
01:39:59,200 --> 01:39:59,960
Speaker 2: you buried the lead.

1892
01:40:01,280 --> 01:40:05,000
Speaker 3: Uh. If I would have gotten the baseball, I would

1893
01:40:05,000 --> 01:40:08,479
Speaker 3: have given it to her son, because she took one

1894
01:40:08,479 --> 01:40:13,439
Speaker 3: off the noggin and just and then it shot back

1895
01:40:13,479 --> 01:40:16,800
Speaker 3: up and there's no joke, no, And it wasn't like

1896
01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:19,440
Speaker 3: line drive. You need immediate attention.

1897
01:40:20,479 --> 01:40:20,880
Speaker 2: It was.

1898
01:40:20,960 --> 01:40:22,960
Speaker 3: She did receive attention because she got hit in the

1899
01:40:22,960 --> 01:40:26,120
Speaker 3: head with the foul ball, but it wasn't It wasn't

1900
01:40:26,120 --> 01:40:28,920
Speaker 3: as bad as as it could have been.

1901
01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:32,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you could have pulled one of those

1902
01:40:32,400 --> 01:40:35,559
Speaker 2: moves like that kid that went viral, gets the ball

1903
01:40:36,040 --> 01:40:38,599
Speaker 2: and looks at his mom and whispers, and then he's

1904
01:40:38,600 --> 01:40:41,519
Speaker 2: got the pretty girl sitting next to him and go yeah, yes,

1905
01:40:42,160 --> 01:40:45,439
Speaker 2: like oh look at him. Uh the charmer ever so

1906
01:40:45,560 --> 01:40:48,720
Speaker 2: young yet Dan Byron Fox at Swollen Dome asking if

1907
01:40:48,760 --> 01:40:51,600
Speaker 2: you got any big thoughts on the early part of

1908
01:40:51,720 --> 01:40:54,320
Speaker 2: Major League baseball. What stood out for you. Maybe it's

1909
01:40:54,320 --> 01:40:56,880
Speaker 2: because your team stinks and you just need to get

1910
01:40:56,920 --> 01:40:59,240
Speaker 2: a little bit of the vitriol and hate. I mean,

1911
01:40:59,240 --> 01:41:01,640
Speaker 2: we did to do it every night Smith and I

1912
01:41:01,880 --> 01:41:05,200
Speaker 2: on the National Show seven to eleven here on Fox

1913
01:41:05,240 --> 01:41:08,240
Speaker 2: Sports Radio seven to eleven Pacific time, him with the

1914
01:41:08,240 --> 01:41:10,400
Speaker 2: Mets and me with the White Sox, trying to figure

1915
01:41:10,439 --> 01:41:13,040
Speaker 2: it out. A month ago, I had actually turned off

1916
01:41:13,080 --> 01:41:17,000
Speaker 2: the notifications because they were so sad time after time

1917
01:41:17,400 --> 01:41:20,040
Speaker 2: playing some respectable baseball, and as we discussed a little

1918
01:41:20,040 --> 01:41:24,120
Speaker 2: bit earlier, that division potential is there for the taking.

1919
01:41:24,160 --> 01:41:26,639
Speaker 2: If you get hot, which is the most dangerous place

1920
01:41:26,680 --> 01:41:28,280
Speaker 2: to be though, if you're a team trying to figure

1921
01:41:28,280 --> 01:41:31,440
Speaker 2: out we buyers, are we sellers? Do we have contracts

1922
01:41:31,479 --> 01:41:34,879
Speaker 2: that perhaps maybe we want to get out of long term.

1923
01:41:35,120 --> 01:41:37,360
Speaker 2: If you're still in the hunt and then you make

1924
01:41:37,400 --> 01:41:40,439
Speaker 2: that move, you've just got to be used to negative press.

1925
01:41:40,520 --> 01:41:44,040
Speaker 2: Now in Chicago, Jerry Reinsdorf and the White Sox ownership,

1926
01:41:44,120 --> 01:41:47,439
Speaker 2: they're no stranger to bad press about a lot of things,

1927
01:41:47,479 --> 01:41:49,599
Speaker 2: so I don't think it affects them one way or

1928
01:41:49,600 --> 01:41:53,200
Speaker 2: the other. Remember, Rhinesdorff also owns the Bulls folks, so

1929
01:41:53,360 --> 01:41:57,679
Speaker 2: plenty of slings and arrows from local media and fans

1930
01:41:57,720 --> 01:42:00,760
Speaker 2: for a long time to come. There one team that

1931
01:42:01,200 --> 01:42:04,559
Speaker 2: has always enjoyed that bit of celebrity, and like we

1932
01:42:04,600 --> 01:42:07,880
Speaker 2: talk about the Cowboys in the National Football League, the

1933
01:42:07,880 --> 01:42:11,200
Speaker 2: New York Yankees. The expectations, right, you go to that

1934
01:42:11,439 --> 01:42:14,040
Speaker 2: game and maybe you would have been defeated by a

1935
01:42:14,080 --> 01:42:16,040
Speaker 2: foul ball had you not gone for lemonade.

1936
01:42:16,080 --> 01:42:18,080
Speaker 3: We'll never know, We'll never know.

1937
01:42:18,320 --> 01:42:21,120
Speaker 2: We can do it via AI, we can probably recreate

1938
01:42:21,160 --> 01:42:24,519
Speaker 2: the moment, but you've got the Yankees. Earlier this week,

1939
01:42:24,520 --> 01:42:28,360
Speaker 2: how Steinbrenner was on with Michael kay in New York,

1940
01:42:28,760 --> 01:42:33,400
Speaker 2: and he expressed some confusion with the fact that his

1941
01:42:33,560 --> 01:42:37,840
Speaker 2: fan base is disgruntled, and Michael Kaye describing it, and

1942
01:42:37,880 --> 01:42:43,040
Speaker 2: I think rightly so as quote very very set Steinbredder quote.

1943
01:42:43,040 --> 01:42:45,960
Speaker 2: I understand they're upset. We'll confused this year being the

1944
01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:48,880
Speaker 2: third week in June, why they're so upset, but that

1945
01:42:48,920 --> 01:42:52,000
Speaker 2: they're upset, they're gonna get my attention. Of course, everyone

1946
01:42:52,080 --> 01:42:54,080
Speaker 2: needs to know we're working hard on all fronts to

1947
01:42:54,080 --> 01:42:55,840
Speaker 2: get this back on the rails that start playing the

1948
01:42:55,840 --> 01:42:58,960
Speaker 2: way we were for that couple week period there in

1949
01:42:59,040 --> 01:43:02,479
Speaker 2: May now struggled, and obviously it's a division We've talked

1950
01:43:02,520 --> 01:43:04,840
Speaker 2: about a lot here, Dan of some of the great

1951
01:43:04,960 --> 01:43:08,320
Speaker 2: surprise may not surprise because Tampa Bay always wins its

1952
01:43:08,439 --> 01:43:10,840
Speaker 2: ninety games, but that they got out of the gate

1953
01:43:11,120 --> 01:43:15,240
Speaker 2: so blistering hot. And he also ran Orioles or suddenly

1954
01:43:15,720 --> 01:43:18,479
Speaker 2: having themselves a fine run with a bunch of young

1955
01:43:18,520 --> 01:43:22,080
Speaker 2: players coming in and performing. Toronto, the bats still waking

1956
01:43:22,160 --> 01:43:24,479
Speaker 2: up from Vladi Guerrero. Just the other day he hit

1957
01:43:24,520 --> 01:43:28,280
Speaker 2: his first home home run of the season. But for

1958
01:43:28,280 --> 01:43:30,200
Speaker 2: the Yankees, there was a stat that stood out to

1959
01:43:30,240 --> 01:43:37,519
Speaker 2: me earlier in the week that aries right Oriyas with

1960
01:43:37,720 --> 01:43:42,120
Speaker 2: his batting average at four hundred, he had more hits

1961
01:43:42,840 --> 01:43:45,919
Speaker 2: than the Yankees had as a team if you excluded

1962
01:43:45,920 --> 01:43:49,799
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge's early season performance. Now we get the update

1963
01:43:49,920 --> 01:43:52,320
Speaker 2: on Judge that he tore a ligament in his toe,

1964
01:43:52,760 --> 01:43:56,160
Speaker 2: so he's having trouble walking, and their non committal about

1965
01:43:56,200 --> 01:43:59,280
Speaker 2: how quickly he'll be able to get back in the lineup,

1966
01:43:59,320 --> 01:44:01,479
Speaker 2: if at all. So that's kind of a big deal

1967
01:44:01,520 --> 01:44:05,320
Speaker 2: that's swirling under again. With the myriad of other positive

1968
01:44:05,360 --> 01:44:08,160
Speaker 2: stories and big stories in Major League Baseball, it's kind

1969
01:44:08,160 --> 01:44:10,960
Speaker 2: of sunk a little bit to the bottom. But the

1970
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:15,200
Speaker 2: fact that Steinbrenner, who's unlike his dad, doesn't say a lot,

1971
01:44:15,600 --> 01:44:17,320
Speaker 2: it doesn't pop out of the weeds to do a

1972
01:44:17,320 --> 01:44:20,679
Speaker 2: lot of a lot of discussion points, interviews or whatever,

1973
01:44:20,960 --> 01:44:24,439
Speaker 2: must have finally gotten cajoled enough from the message boards

1974
01:44:24,439 --> 01:44:25,440
Speaker 2: to have a say.

1975
01:44:25,600 --> 01:44:30,720
Speaker 3: Well, it's I'll tell you the the Yankees don't have

1976
01:44:30,760 --> 01:44:34,320
Speaker 3: a chance, by the way, without Aaron Judge, so that

1977
01:44:34,439 --> 01:44:37,960
Speaker 3: bit of news to them is going to be a jolt.

1978
01:44:38,560 --> 01:44:41,639
Speaker 3: It is not a jolt to hear Yankee fans complain

1979
01:44:42,240 --> 01:44:45,559
Speaker 3: because it even felt like for a time, and there's

1980
01:44:45,800 --> 01:44:48,519
Speaker 3: there's a not to sit on the fence, Mike. There's

1981
01:44:48,560 --> 01:44:50,679
Speaker 3: a positive part about it, and there's a negative part

1982
01:44:50,680 --> 01:44:52,360
Speaker 3: about it. The part that wears on you if you're

1983
01:44:52,360 --> 01:44:55,519
Speaker 3: another fan as you're saying, gosh, the Yankees fans are

1984
01:44:55,560 --> 01:44:58,680
Speaker 3: complaining after all the success that they've had through how

1985
01:44:58,720 --> 01:45:01,040
Speaker 3: many years, the team is alway pretty good? You know,

1986
01:45:01,400 --> 01:45:04,840
Speaker 3: my team has you know, had two playoff appearances. And

1987
01:45:04,840 --> 01:45:06,599
Speaker 3: I'm not saying my team in particular. I'm just saying

1988
01:45:06,640 --> 01:45:09,120
Speaker 3: anybody talking, you know, in the last ten years and

1989
01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:11,320
Speaker 3: hear the Yankees are like that can get that can

1990
01:45:11,360 --> 01:45:14,599
Speaker 3: get nauseating as a fan. But there is also something

1991
01:45:14,600 --> 01:45:18,040
Speaker 3: about fans keeping the expectations of your team, and I

1992
01:45:18,040 --> 01:45:21,520
Speaker 3: could see why that would be uh frustrating the Steinbrenner

1993
01:45:21,800 --> 01:45:25,360
Speaker 3: because you know, what can you do in a division

1994
01:45:25,400 --> 01:45:28,559
Speaker 3: that is loaded. There's there's no question that that is

1995
01:45:28,600 --> 01:45:30,720
Speaker 3: the best division. We were arguing over what was the

1996
01:45:30,760 --> 01:45:33,679
Speaker 3: best division in the NFL, and you can make arguments

1997
01:45:33,680 --> 01:45:37,479
Speaker 3: for different ones. There's no arguing that the AL East

1998
01:45:37,560 --> 01:45:39,760
Speaker 3: right now is the best division in baseball with the

1999
01:45:39,760 --> 01:45:43,120
Speaker 3: best team in baseball. So you have all of that

2000
01:45:43,360 --> 01:45:45,439
Speaker 3: at play, and the Yankee fans are still mad and

2001
01:45:45,479 --> 01:45:48,200
Speaker 3: they're in third. It's not like it's not like they're

2002
01:45:48,200 --> 01:45:50,880
Speaker 3: the Red Sox, you know, who are in last place

2003
01:45:50,880 --> 01:45:54,519
Speaker 3: in the division and are above five hundred. I just

2004
01:45:55,840 --> 01:45:59,519
Speaker 3: he's right, it is just June. But now, if you

2005
01:45:59,560 --> 01:46:05,479
Speaker 3: don't have Aaron Judge, yeah, they're they're not gonna they're

2006
01:46:05,520 --> 01:46:07,320
Speaker 3: not gonna beat the Rays. They're not gonna beat the

2007
01:46:08,120 --> 01:46:11,559
Speaker 3: uh Rangers or Astros if you end up having to

2008
01:46:11,600 --> 01:46:12,960
Speaker 3: face them at any point in the playoffs.

2009
01:46:13,040 --> 01:46:15,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and that becomes the curiosity going forward

2010
01:46:15,880 --> 01:46:18,559
Speaker 2: with the contracts that you already have out with Judge

2011
01:46:18,560 --> 01:46:22,360
Speaker 2: and Stanton and Stanton, Like the guy will never be

2012
01:46:22,400 --> 01:46:25,120
Speaker 2: able to get any bit of positivity because of the

2013
01:46:25,160 --> 01:46:28,280
Speaker 2: size of that contract, the amount of injury time and

2014
01:46:28,600 --> 01:46:31,439
Speaker 2: everything else, Like he is set up to be the

2015
01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:34,559
Speaker 2: sacrificial lamb. And I know folks can say, well, he's

2016
01:46:34,600 --> 01:46:37,439
Speaker 2: got that giant contract, don't feel too bad for him. Like, no,

2017
01:46:37,560 --> 01:46:40,280
Speaker 2: sometimes the body betrays you. It's like the guys that

2018
01:46:40,320 --> 01:46:42,679
Speaker 2: get drafted in the NBA draft will get back into

2019
01:46:42,720 --> 01:46:46,599
Speaker 2: that in earnest top of next hour. But I can't

2020
01:46:46,640 --> 01:46:48,679
Speaker 2: help that a team drafted be in the top five,

2021
01:46:49,600 --> 01:46:51,920
Speaker 2: right if it doesn't work out with them, there's a

2022
01:46:52,040 --> 01:46:54,240
Speaker 2: number of circumstances that have I can still put up

2023
01:46:54,240 --> 01:46:57,160
Speaker 2: stats and nobody's gonna love me. I mean, my great

2024
01:46:57,160 --> 01:46:59,880
Speaker 2: example is always Christian Laner, who had a pretty good career.

2025
01:47:00,520 --> 01:47:03,439
Speaker 2: It's not his fault. He was drafted number three overall, sure,

2026
01:47:03,479 --> 01:47:06,719
Speaker 2: and the expectations were just so immense coming out.

2027
01:47:06,560 --> 01:47:09,040
Speaker 3: To do after shack and a lones of morning, right,

2028
01:47:09,120 --> 01:47:09,400
Speaker 3: you know.

2029
01:47:10,160 --> 01:47:13,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, nice class to come out to, right, But with

2030
01:47:14,040 --> 01:47:17,640
Speaker 2: the Yankees, the expectation is always and for better or

2031
01:47:17,680 --> 01:47:19,479
Speaker 2: for worse. Right, I think if you're a fan, you

2032
01:47:19,600 --> 01:47:22,919
Speaker 2: love that you can have those high standards, as opposed

2033
01:47:22,960 --> 01:47:26,799
Speaker 2: to for a lot of Major League Baseball, NFL fans,

2034
01:47:26,840 --> 01:47:29,360
Speaker 2: whatever else. You come into the beginning of the season

2035
01:47:29,640 --> 01:47:33,120
Speaker 2: with hope and that's really all you got. Yes, like,

2036
01:47:33,479 --> 01:47:37,640
Speaker 2: maybe this will work. Maybe we've cobbled together enough of

2037
01:47:37,640 --> 01:47:39,880
Speaker 2: a bullpen. Look at what the anks that you've got

2038
01:47:39,920 --> 01:47:43,280
Speaker 2: here to come across country where we are in Los

2039
01:47:43,320 --> 01:47:46,320
Speaker 2: Angeles with the Dodgers as we come into action today,

2040
01:47:46,360 --> 01:47:50,120
Speaker 2: ten games above five hundred, but you're third in the division,

2041
01:47:50,120 --> 01:47:52,879
Speaker 2: only two games back. But you're third in the division,

2042
01:47:53,080 --> 01:47:56,240
Speaker 2: a division that you're used to just running away and

2043
01:47:56,320 --> 01:47:58,560
Speaker 2: hiding and taking care of business. But you got a

2044
01:47:58,560 --> 01:48:01,360
Speaker 2: bullpen that's a disaster most nights. A couple of great

2045
01:48:01,360 --> 01:48:04,200
Speaker 2: games this last week, but it's the Angels, and I

2046
01:48:04,200 --> 01:48:06,519
Speaker 2: know it's hard to share. It's just the Angels with

2047
01:48:06,720 --> 01:48:10,080
Speaker 2: they've played some pretty good baseball, but they're the twenty

2048
01:48:10,360 --> 01:48:15,120
Speaker 2: five run barrage aside night to night. They're not, you know,

2049
01:48:15,200 --> 01:48:18,800
Speaker 2: a conga line around the bases, but the bullpen showed

2050
01:48:18,880 --> 01:48:21,160
Speaker 2: up for a couple of games. Stretch is it and up? No,

2051
01:48:21,360 --> 01:48:23,679
Speaker 2: You've got a bunch of starters coming back from injury

2052
01:48:23,880 --> 01:48:26,040
Speaker 2: and Clayton Kershaw has been the one guy you've been

2053
01:48:26,040 --> 01:48:29,400
Speaker 2: able to count on to this point, and you still

2054
01:48:29,479 --> 01:48:32,320
Speaker 2: every fifth day you're wondering, all right, how many more

2055
01:48:32,360 --> 01:48:34,080
Speaker 2: starts do you get of that caliber?

2056
01:48:34,200 --> 01:48:36,160
Speaker 3: Just last week there swept by the Giants, but they

2057
01:48:36,400 --> 01:48:39,599
Speaker 3: were so depleted because you ended up losing Chris Taylor

2058
01:48:39,640 --> 01:48:44,160
Speaker 3: at one point for a short time max months, he

2059
01:48:44,160 --> 01:48:47,439
Speaker 3: hasn't been available. You talk about the pitching staff, that

2060
01:48:47,880 --> 01:48:50,080
Speaker 3: of the of the there's the names that you expected

2061
01:48:50,080 --> 01:48:51,880
Speaker 3: to be there, and then there's the names that you

2062
01:48:51,920 --> 01:48:53,920
Speaker 3: didn't expect to be that still should be like a

2063
01:48:53,960 --> 01:48:57,800
Speaker 3: Walker Bueller when there was a point just a week

2064
01:48:57,800 --> 01:49:02,759
Speaker 3: ago with the Dodgers, truly you had bets In Freeman

2065
01:49:02,920 --> 01:49:06,200
Speaker 3: batting one two, and then it was a crap shoot

2066
01:49:06,400 --> 01:49:09,080
Speaker 3: there after the rest of the lineup. Look, yeah, yeah,

2067
01:49:09,400 --> 01:49:12,400
Speaker 3: you're not counting on J. D. Martinez, you know, to

2068
01:49:12,439 --> 01:49:15,479
Speaker 3: come through with those huge clutch hits.

2069
01:49:15,640 --> 01:49:17,840
Speaker 2: Well, I got a big hit from Vargas the other night.

2070
01:49:17,960 --> 01:49:20,679
Speaker 2: He had gone one for his previous thirty seven before

2071
01:49:20,680 --> 01:49:23,320
Speaker 2: were hitting a home run. But given the state of

2072
01:49:23,360 --> 01:49:26,320
Speaker 2: where the lineup is and the attrition, they've got no

2073
01:49:26,439 --> 01:49:28,000
Speaker 2: choice but to still put him in the lineup.

2074
01:49:28,080 --> 01:49:30,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so you know, nobody's feeling bad for the Yankees.

2075
01:49:31,160 --> 01:49:33,960
Speaker 3: Gihan Collis Stanton has six hits this month. You know

2076
01:49:34,200 --> 01:49:35,920
Speaker 3: nobody's feeling bad for them, and.

2077
01:49:35,920 --> 01:49:39,519
Speaker 2: Certainly the Dodgers given their run of success. Folks saying,

2078
01:49:39,520 --> 01:49:42,520
Speaker 2: all right, who else can step up in this process?

2079
01:49:42,640 --> 01:49:45,600
Speaker 2: And well, we'll see if some of these great stories

2080
01:49:45,960 --> 01:49:49,160
Speaker 2: of the first half continue. I do a spot in

2081
01:49:49,200 --> 01:49:52,080
Speaker 2: Baltimore each week, so finding a little bit of love

2082
01:49:52,200 --> 01:49:55,799
Speaker 2: to see and the positivity where we're not just moving

2083
01:49:55,800 --> 01:50:00,839
Speaker 2: into Ravens season quite so fast in our assessment universe.

2084
01:50:00,960 --> 01:50:04,759
Speaker 3: It'll be here quick Raven season, even though the Oriels

2085
01:50:04,760 --> 01:50:05,160
Speaker 3: are great.

01:51:08,840 --> 01:51:12,000
Speaker 2: now prints taking us through.

2106
01:51:13,439 --> 01:51:16,240
Speaker 3: Last summer. I've a bunch of different friends that live

2107
01:51:16,560 --> 01:51:20,360
Speaker 3: in different areas of the Twin Cities, and one of

2108
01:51:20,360 --> 01:51:25,160
Speaker 3: them lives of west of town chan Hassen. Actually not

2109
01:51:25,200 --> 01:51:29,000
Speaker 3: even chan Hassen, but Paisley Park. You go past on

2110
01:51:29,120 --> 01:51:32,080
Speaker 3: our way, Well, just drove past. So last year took

2111
01:51:32,120 --> 01:51:35,240
Speaker 3: my wife and because we went and visited some friends,

2112
01:51:35,520 --> 01:51:39,200
Speaker 3: you know, so people the baby, and so we drove past.

2113
01:51:39,439 --> 01:51:40,799
Speaker 2: Were they impressed by the baby?

2114
01:51:42,880 --> 01:51:43,400
Speaker 3: Friends were?

2115
01:51:43,560 --> 01:51:43,720
Speaker 2: Yes?

2116
01:51:43,840 --> 01:51:47,360
Speaker 3: Oh, yes, my wife was impressed with Paisley Park because

2117
01:51:47,640 --> 01:51:50,639
Speaker 3: just where it's located now, and I mean obviously it's

2118
01:51:50,720 --> 01:51:55,519
Speaker 3: it's been developed and it's in the burbs basically, but

2119
01:51:56,000 --> 01:51:59,559
Speaker 3: still a neat thing to go by. I you know,

2120
01:51:59,600 --> 01:52:02,240
Speaker 3: I even speak. I thought there were tours, but we

2121
01:52:02,320 --> 01:52:04,120
Speaker 3: didn't take. I don't know if you can take them.

2122
01:52:04,280 --> 01:52:05,479
Speaker 2: Well, we got to just figure out how to get

2123

Speaker 2: invited into one of the parties that still go down there. Yes,

2134
01:52:46,400 --> 01:52:50,040
Speaker 2: three d hams and other things where you can go

2135
01:52:50,080 --> 01:52:52,679
Speaker 2: and that's the new craze, like you're gonna be able

2136
01:52:52,680 --> 01:52:55,240
Speaker 2: to print your meat. Okay, cool, but we print up

2137
01:52:55,280 --> 01:52:57,960
Speaker 2: hot takes here on a regular basis, and now we've

2138
01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:01,560
Speaker 2: got some manufactured beef in the National Let's Hear It

2139
01:53:01,680 --> 01:53:06,320
Speaker 2: Football League. And this was the response from Travis Kelsey,

2140
01:53:06,360 --> 01:53:09,880
Speaker 2: who likes his fifteen plus minutes of fame right, He's

2141
01:53:09,880 --> 01:53:11,840
Speaker 2: going to extend it as long as he can on

2142
01:53:11,920 --> 01:53:16,160
Speaker 2: his podcast with his brother responding to Jamar Chase kind

2143
01:53:16,160 --> 01:53:19,080
Speaker 2: of joking about Patrick Who a little bit earlier.

2144
01:53:20,479 --> 01:53:24,439
Speaker 8: We got Chiefs be earlier this week, Bengals receiver Jamar

2145
01:53:24,560 --> 01:53:28,839
Speaker 8: Chase told reporters Pat Who in reference to Bengals quarterback

2146
01:53:28,880 --> 01:53:31,839
Speaker 8: Joe Burrow, conceding that Pat Mahomes is the best quarterback

2147
01:53:31,880 --> 01:53:32,760
Speaker 8: in the NFL.

2148
01:53:32,520 --> 01:53:33,479
Speaker 2: Thought it was a little bold.

2149
01:53:33,640 --> 01:53:36,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, the guy's a two time league MVP, two time

2150
01:53:36,479 --> 01:53:37,360
Speaker 9: Super Bowl MVP.

2151
01:53:37,680 --> 01:53:39,760
Speaker 2: To say, Pat, who is like.

2152
01:53:40,040 --> 01:53:40,960
Speaker 8: A little disrespectful?

2153
01:53:41,040 --> 01:53:41,920
Speaker 2: Patt didn't like it.

2154
01:53:42,000 --> 01:53:45,400
Speaker 8: Mahomes tweeted a photo of himself at the Chiefs Rink ceremony,

2155
01:53:45,479 --> 01:53:47,479
Speaker 8: Glad you guys had fun doing that, rearing his two

2156
01:53:47,520 --> 01:53:51,400
Speaker 8: Super Bowl rings with the declaration that'soer. I just wish

2157
01:53:51,479 --> 01:53:54,440
Speaker 8: it would have devolved to who my Holmes?

2158
01:53:54,800 --> 01:53:55,240
Speaker 10: Who?

2159
01:53:55,360 --> 01:53:56,440
Speaker 2: Ma Holmes?

2160
01:53:56,720 --> 01:53:58,360
Speaker 9: I see where you're going with that. I don't know

2161
01:53:58,400 --> 01:54:01,960
Speaker 9: if that plays here because nobody's name is Mike, and

2162
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:04,320
Speaker 9: that's the reference you're going to is Mike Jones.

2163
01:54:04,439 --> 01:54:06,920
Speaker 8: But ma, who Ma Holmes?

2164
01:54:07,160 --> 01:54:08,559
Speaker 2: No, not letting you go there.

2165
01:54:08,680 --> 01:54:10,680
Speaker 8: That's want this to be chanted in Chiefs teams.

2166
01:54:11,520 --> 01:54:16,479
Speaker 10: Homes Holmes, Yeah, man, it is what it is. Doug

2167
01:54:16,640 --> 01:54:19,080
Speaker 10: who doesn't love some good locker room banter man? Shout

2168
01:54:19,080 --> 01:54:21,439
Speaker 10: out to Jamar Chase for, you know, holding it down

2169
01:54:21,439 --> 01:54:24,719
Speaker 10: for his QB. But don't you ever dispect Pat Mahmes?

2170
01:54:24,720 --> 01:54:27,599
Speaker 2: Now, no, I like his brother really trying to sell that,

2171
01:54:27,640 --> 01:54:31,640
Speaker 2: Come on, Travis one trying Now. The other part was

2172
01:54:32,120 --> 01:54:33,880
Speaker 2: I really thought it was being the interview is being

2173
01:54:33,880 --> 01:54:40,440
Speaker 2: conducted in the conversation being directed by David Kector Whammy, Hey, Travis,

2174
01:54:42,880 --> 01:54:43,560
Speaker 2: we're headed there.

2175
01:54:43,640 --> 01:54:45,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it's very good.

2176
01:54:45,440 --> 01:54:48,360
Speaker 2: Kind of where we were going here. It's called Chicken

2177
01:54:48,440 --> 01:54:48,960
Speaker 2: of the Cave.

2178
01:54:49,400 --> 01:54:54,480
Speaker 3: I thought that Travis handled it very well, and I

2179
01:54:54,840 --> 01:54:57,840
Speaker 3: just I don't think that there is there is There

2180
01:54:57,960 --> 01:55:00,720
Speaker 3: is a rivalry, But there is a rival because it's

2181
01:55:00,720 --> 01:55:04,240
Speaker 3: a now a rivalry of the Bengals beating the Chiefs

2182
01:55:04,720 --> 01:55:07,240
Speaker 3: three times in a row and then the Chiefs getting

2183
01:55:07,240 --> 01:55:11,000
Speaker 3: their revenge in the AFC Championship game and getting revenge

2184
01:55:11,000 --> 01:55:14,760
Speaker 3: from the previous year's AFC Championship game. That is what

2185
01:55:14,840 --> 01:55:18,120
Speaker 3: makes a rivalry, Not one wide receiver sticking up for

2186
01:55:18,200 --> 01:55:21,640
Speaker 3: his quarterback and maybe trying to take a shot at

2187
01:55:21,720 --> 01:55:27,880
Speaker 3: someone else, which obviously I think Jamar Chase knows he

2188
01:55:28,000 --> 01:55:31,080
Speaker 3: is not disrespecting Patrick Mahomes, but I think Kelsey was

2189
01:55:31,120 --> 01:55:34,040
Speaker 3: put in the spot to at least defend his quarterback well,

2190
01:55:34,080 --> 01:55:34,560
Speaker 3: and just.

2191
01:55:34,520 --> 01:55:38,600
Speaker 2: Like Mahomes responding with it with the ring ceremony and

2192
01:55:38,640 --> 01:55:42,440
Speaker 2: all of that kind of fun stuff like you manufacture beef, right,

2193
01:55:42,480 --> 01:55:46,800
Speaker 2: we celebrate. We talked about legacies of guys like Michael Jordan,

2194
01:55:46,800 --> 01:55:49,800
Speaker 2: what's the big thing? Always had to create that somebody

2195
01:55:49,840 --> 01:55:53,800
Speaker 2: slighted him or someone was the rival. And we've heard

2196
01:55:53,880 --> 01:55:57,400
Speaker 2: that as a motivational thing, plenty of books written on

2197
01:55:57,440 --> 01:56:01,600
Speaker 2: that very topic. Right, to always find something to fuel

2198
01:56:01,640 --> 01:56:04,280
Speaker 2: you along the way. Here, I think it's just it's

2199
01:56:04,280 --> 01:56:07,520
Speaker 2: off season slap fighting of let's let's get a little

2200
01:56:07,520 --> 01:56:10,120
Speaker 2: bit of a chuckle and defend our guys.

2201
01:56:10,320 --> 01:56:12,800
Speaker 3: I think I think Bengals chiefs is more of a

2202
01:56:12,920 --> 01:56:14,760
Speaker 3: rivalry than Bills Chiefs is.

2203
01:56:15,400 --> 01:56:19,920
Speaker 2: Right now, Yeah, yeah, win a couple of big games.

2204
01:56:21,120 --> 01:56:23,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Bills have beaten them, but they haven't beaten

2205
01:56:23,240 --> 01:56:24,080
Speaker 3: them when it counted.

2206
01:56:24,240 --> 01:56:26,879
Speaker 2: No, that's it, right, You've got to go steal something

2207
01:56:27,240 --> 01:56:30,160
Speaker 2: from them in a big stage. Bengals were able to

2208
01:56:30,200 --> 01:56:32,760
Speaker 2: do that, and then they gave away a game at

2209
01:56:32,840 --> 01:56:34,800
Speaker 2: so far that they should have won.

2210
01:56:35,040 --> 01:56:38,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and and and with that, I give them even

2211
01:56:38,720 --> 01:56:42,480
Speaker 3: more credit, Mike for the season that they had. Like,

2212
01:56:42,520 --> 01:56:45,040
Speaker 3: if there was anything of telling you about a team

2213
01:56:45,120 --> 01:56:47,800
Speaker 3: and are they for real or not, it should be

2214
01:56:47,880 --> 01:56:53,280
Speaker 3: Cincinnati's response, which was last season and how they responded

2215
01:56:53,360 --> 01:56:56,320
Speaker 3: in losing the super Bowl, Because the super Bowl hangover

2216
01:56:56,520 --> 01:56:58,800
Speaker 3: is a real thing, and for them. To see them

2217
01:56:58,840 --> 01:57:02,560
Speaker 3: work through their issues and to play as well as

2218
01:57:02,600 --> 01:57:04,440
Speaker 3: they did and then make it back to the AFC

2219
01:57:04,520 --> 01:57:08,000
Speaker 3: Championship game tells you that Cincinnati is for real and

2220
01:57:08,040 --> 01:57:11,320
Speaker 3: they're here to stay. So, yeah, your point of a

2221
01:57:11,360 --> 01:57:13,160
Speaker 3: game they should have won. To then put that season

2222
01:57:13,200 --> 01:57:15,839
Speaker 3: together after that really impressive by the Yeah, I was still.

2223
01:57:15,680 --> 01:57:18,920
Speaker 2: Mad at their fans leaving the stadium because it seemed

2224
01:57:18,960 --> 01:57:22,920
Speaker 2: like we're happy to be here, like it was inevitability,

2225
01:57:22,960 --> 01:57:25,760
Speaker 2: We're gonna be here a bunch Like, No, you never

2226
01:57:25,840 --> 01:57:28,360
Speaker 2: bank on that, No, never, never bank that you're getting

2227
01:57:28,360 --> 01:57:32,240
Speaker 2: another run. You mentioned Dan Marino earlier getting drafted off

2228
01:57:32,280 --> 01:57:35,640
Speaker 2: of the futility of this Super Bowl effort. He got

2229
01:57:35,640 --> 01:57:39,040
Speaker 2: there once very early in his career, never saw it again.

2230
01:57:39,760 --> 01:57:43,560
Speaker 2: So assuming you're gonna you're gonna make another run, just really,

2231
01:57:43,680 --> 01:57:46,280
Speaker 2: I was more upset, and I think their fans were

2232
01:57:46,640 --> 01:57:49,760
Speaker 2: curiosity though in their backfield Joe Mixon, they bring in

2233
01:57:49,840 --> 01:57:54,200
Speaker 2: Trayvon Williams and then you lost some AGP. Run was

2234
01:57:54,240 --> 01:57:55,800
Speaker 2: a big part of what they were doing there, and

2235
01:57:55,880 --> 01:57:58,360
Speaker 2: Joe Mixon's a guy that there were a lot of rumors,

2236
01:57:58,360 --> 01:58:00,760
Speaker 2: just like so many other running backs. As we'll talk

2237
01:58:00,800 --> 01:58:04,000
Speaker 2: about coming up here in the next hour that are

2238
01:58:04,040 --> 01:58:07,320
Speaker 2: trying to figure out which end is up with their

2239
01:58:07,360 --> 01:58:09,720
Speaker 2: respective roles, contracts and everything else.

2240
01:58:10,040 --> 01:58:12,160
Speaker 3: You know, Jamar Chase is gonna be back. I think

2241
01:58:12,200 --> 01:58:13,640
Speaker 3: during the season there was a question on what they

2242
01:58:13,640 --> 01:58:16,120
Speaker 3: were gonna do with t Higgins. True Higgins is back

2243
01:58:16,160 --> 01:58:18,560
Speaker 3: and that is good news for the Cincinnati Bengals, giving

2244
01:58:18,560 --> 01:58:20,600
Speaker 3: those three together questions in that backfield.

2245
01:58:20,640 --> 01:58:24,000
Speaker 2: And then you bring in IRV Smith Junior. Am I

2246
01:58:24,080 --> 01:58:26,200
Speaker 2: gonna get suckered into him for Fantasy? Of course?

2247
01:58:26,240 --> 01:58:27,680
Speaker 3: You are absolutely yeah.

2248
01:58:27,720 --> 01:58:30,000
Speaker 2: He gets me every year, now, doesn't He's Dan byro On,

Speaker 2: Gordon saying don't Mama, don't let your babies grow up

2262
01:59:15,240 --> 01:59:17,360
Speaker 2: to be running backs. But we also have a fantasy

2263
01:59:17,360 --> 01:59:20,080
Speaker 2: football dilemma that we have to talk out in your

2264
01:59:20,240 --> 01:59:21,200
Speaker 2: very league, Dampire.

2265
01:59:21,360 --> 01:59:23,840
Speaker 3: I need I need the input of everyone, because it's

2266
01:59:23,880 --> 01:59:27,680
Speaker 3: not of who do I draft and what scoring system?

2267
01:59:28,040 --> 01:59:31,880
Speaker 3: It is how you weigh the drafting of players and

2268
01:59:31,920 --> 01:59:34,520
Speaker 3: the social aspect of fantasy football.

2269
01:59:35,400 --> 01:59:37,440
Speaker 2: We'll get into that coming up about twenty minutes from

2270
01:59:37,440 --> 01:59:39,560
Speaker 2: now at Dan Byer on Fox where you find Dan

2271

2273
01:59:49,000 --> 01:59:53,520
Speaker 2: be superstars of the next generation of the National Basketball Association.

2274
01:59:54,080 --> 01:59:57,240
Speaker 2: Yet as you came into the event, there was one

2275
01:59:57,280 --> 02:00:01,200
Speaker 2: man standing tall all puns in ten did Victor Wemman

2276
02:00:01,320 --> 02:00:03,640
Speaker 2: Yama guy. We've been talking about a bunch I was.

2277
02:00:04,040 --> 02:00:08,000
Speaker 2: I follow it for multiple reasons right obviously here as

2278
02:00:08,120 --> 02:00:13,200
Speaker 2: part of the core and the on air prognosticators and

2279
02:00:13,720 --> 02:00:16,600
Speaker 2: yellers of Fox sports radio, but also I'd love to

2280
02:00:16,760 --> 02:00:20,880
Speaker 2: dabble in the collectibles and merchandise and trading cards and

2281
02:00:20,920 --> 02:00:24,520
Speaker 2: all those things. Tops did a product whereby after he

2282
02:00:24,560 --> 02:00:27,280
Speaker 2: threw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium, they did

2283
02:00:27,400 --> 02:00:30,760
Speaker 2: jersey cards, sold out in a matter of minutes, selling

2284
02:00:30,800 --> 02:00:32,400
Speaker 2: online for three to four.

2285
02:00:32,200 --> 02:00:34,920
Speaker 3: Times from the jersey he wore, threw out the front immediately.

2286
02:00:35,040 --> 02:00:38,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then they did a part of their Tops

2287
02:00:38,800 --> 02:00:41,720
Speaker 2: Now campaign. As soon as guys got drafted, had their

2288
02:00:41,720 --> 02:00:45,240
Speaker 2: hats on, they put up cards so you could buy

2289
02:00:45,280 --> 02:00:48,280
Speaker 2: the base card, but you can also buy autographs and

2290
02:00:48,320 --> 02:00:52,960
Speaker 2: you'll randomly get the autograph numbered for women. Yama was

2291
02:00:53,120 --> 02:00:56,520
Speaker 2: number one hundred and ninety nine or less, so different parallels,

2292
02:00:56,560 --> 02:01:01,600
Speaker 2: different color schemes, whatever. All the way down those sales

2293
02:01:02,480 --> 02:01:05,360
Speaker 2: through the roof. You know when we're talking. I saw

2294
02:01:05,560 --> 02:01:08,920
Speaker 2: one exchange uh in the eBay world for twenty five

2295
02:01:09,000 --> 02:01:12,120
Speaker 2: hundred bucks, so multiply it out. Oh, there's a lot

2296
02:01:12,160 --> 02:01:15,040
Speaker 2: of money, a lot of interest in the secondary market.

2297
02:01:15,080 --> 02:01:18,680
Speaker 2: They've had some redemptions for wehn Bin Yama autographs and

2298
02:01:18,720 --> 02:01:21,000
Speaker 2: some other cards that have come through that are short prints.

2299
02:01:21,440 --> 02:01:25,800
Speaker 2: The amount of push for him, not only from prognostictus, because,

2300
02:01:25,840 --> 02:01:30,200
Speaker 2: let's face it, some of the hyperbole surrounding this young man,

2301
02:01:31,080 --> 02:01:33,800
Speaker 2: to me, it's nauseating. I have no idea how he's

2302
02:01:33,840 --> 02:01:36,800
Speaker 2: gonna play in the NBA, whether he's suddenly gonna be

2303
02:01:36,800 --> 02:01:40,120
Speaker 2: able to shoot three point shots with great acumen. So

2304
02:01:40,240 --> 02:01:41,840
Speaker 2: to try to say he's got to be this all

2305
02:01:41,880 --> 02:01:43,680
Speaker 2: time great, because that's where we're going with a lot

2306
02:01:43,720 --> 02:01:46,000
Speaker 2: of this. It can't be he has a great career,

2307
02:01:46,520 --> 02:01:48,800
Speaker 2: wins a couple of titles, whatever. No, no, no, he's

2308
02:01:48,800 --> 02:01:52,200
Speaker 2: got to be the best of all time. He's generational,

2309
02:01:52,480 --> 02:01:55,440
Speaker 2: the term that we use on somebody seemingly every other year.

2310
02:01:55,840 --> 02:01:58,640
Speaker 2: There are generational guys like well, that other guy didn't,

2311
02:01:58,960 --> 02:02:01,360
Speaker 2: that other guy didn't, And he's the guy that break through.

2312
02:02:02,440 --> 02:02:07,520
Speaker 2: Curiosity watching him work through just with like a bigger

2313
02:02:07,600 --> 02:02:09,840
Speaker 2: base on a guy that large when we've seen so

2314
02:02:09,920 --> 02:02:14,480
Speaker 2: many ankle, feet, knee kind of issues through the years.

2315
02:02:15,080 --> 02:02:17,440
Speaker 2: But I got my popcorn ready, I'm ready to watch.

2316
02:02:17,440 --> 02:02:19,680
Speaker 2: And if nothing else, it gives us more years of

2317
02:02:19,680 --> 02:02:22,520
Speaker 2: Greg Popovitch giving us great interviews on the sidelines.

2318
02:02:22,680 --> 02:02:25,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. That's another thing that is added on to all

2319
02:02:25,600 --> 02:02:28,280
Speaker 3: of this is, yeah, how long is Greg Popovitch going

2320
02:02:28,320 --> 02:02:31,720
Speaker 3: to stick around, oh with no tanking issues either, no

2321
02:02:31,880 --> 02:02:35,800
Speaker 3: tanking issues and a draft that honestly was decided at

2322
02:02:35,840 --> 02:02:39,040
Speaker 3: the draft lottery like That's that was the issue with

2323
02:02:39,880 --> 02:02:41,560
Speaker 3: I think this draft that we had touched on it

2324
02:02:41,600 --> 02:02:45,440
Speaker 3: earlier about the problems with the actual draft to really

2325
02:02:45,520 --> 02:02:50,640
Speaker 3: no almost no fault of anybody. Some fault can be

2326
02:02:50,680 --> 02:02:52,800
Speaker 3: put on some people, but you can always check out

2327
02:02:52,800 --> 02:02:56,280
Speaker 3: the podcast for that. The drama of this draft went

2328
02:02:56,320 --> 02:02:59,200
Speaker 3: away when the drama of the draft occurred at the

2329
02:02:59,280 --> 02:03:01,840
Speaker 3: draft lottery. That's when it was the thing about when

2330
02:03:01,880 --> 02:03:06,400
Speaker 3: min Yama that I that I feel is I don't

2331
02:03:06,400 --> 02:03:08,360
Speaker 3: think that there's any way he can be a bust.

2332
02:03:09,320 --> 02:03:12,760
Speaker 3: I don't think that there is. I think that this

2333
02:03:12,920 --> 02:03:17,120
Speaker 3: is the closest thing that we will get to a

2334
02:03:17,160 --> 02:03:21,280
Speaker 3: player not being a bust because I think that a

2335
02:03:21,360 --> 02:03:25,000
Speaker 3: skill set is so unique, it's where it's so Mike,

2336
02:03:25,080 --> 02:03:29,320
Speaker 3: so the floor starts above bust. It's just of how

2337
02:03:29,440 --> 02:03:33,320
Speaker 3: high does that floor go to? What you're saying, we

2338
02:03:33,400 --> 02:03:37,040
Speaker 3: don't know how great he is going to be. There

2339
02:03:37,120 --> 02:03:41,920
Speaker 3: are questions about his schedule, what's going to happen through

2340
02:03:41,960 --> 02:03:45,280
Speaker 3: an NBA grind. I think the over under and games

2341
02:03:45,560 --> 02:03:48,560
Speaker 3: is sixty four and a half of games played, so

2342
02:03:48,680 --> 02:03:50,200
Speaker 3: over then you're eligible for the All.

2343
02:03:50,440 --> 02:03:53,440
Speaker 2: And that's that's an interesting mark to put it in, right,

2344
02:03:53,440 --> 02:03:56,360
Speaker 2: does he get that sixty fifth? Tick played forty four

2345
02:03:57,440 --> 02:03:59,840
Speaker 2: for the for his squad this past year.

2346
02:03:59,880 --> 02:04:03,560
Speaker 3: But that also then tells you if the line is

2347
02:04:03,640 --> 02:04:06,640
Speaker 3: sixty four, that there is going to be some rest

2348
02:04:06,720 --> 02:04:10,080
Speaker 3: that comes that they are not going to at least

2349
02:04:10,080 --> 02:04:12,520
Speaker 3: we don't think Vegas thinks that there is going to

2350
02:04:12,560 --> 02:04:16,640
Speaker 3: be rest factor. And you know, Doug Gottlie pointed it

2351
02:04:16,680 --> 02:04:18,720
Speaker 3: out on a show during the week, and I'm sure

2352
02:04:18,760 --> 02:04:23,280
Speaker 3: others have as well. But you know, the whole load

2353
02:04:23,360 --> 02:04:27,880
Speaker 3: management started with the Spurs, you know, and so it

2354
02:04:27,920 --> 02:04:30,600
Speaker 3: would be no different now when you have this sort

2355
02:04:30,600 --> 02:04:33,200
Speaker 3: of talent to make sure that you get the maximum.

2356
02:04:33,520 --> 02:04:35,960
Speaker 3: Just it's funny that it wasn't seventy five, that it

2357
02:04:36,040 --> 02:04:39,000
Speaker 3: is at that number of the All NBA team or

2358
02:04:39,040 --> 02:04:41,560
Speaker 3: not to be able to make the All NBA team,

2359
02:04:41,560 --> 02:04:43,960
Speaker 3: which tells you that they likely will rest him. But

2360
02:04:44,000 --> 02:04:46,400
Speaker 3: I just I don't think he can be a bust.

2361
02:04:46,600 --> 02:04:48,400
Speaker 3: I think that he's that much of a can't miss

2362
02:04:48,480 --> 02:04:52,840
Speaker 3: prospect and it's just a matter of how big and

2363
02:04:52,880 --> 02:04:55,240
Speaker 3: how great does he actually end up being?

2364
02:04:55,320 --> 02:04:57,080
Speaker 2: Well, and that's the hope. The other drama that came

2365
02:04:57,120 --> 02:04:59,120
Speaker 2: out of this, and it's something I pointed out draft

2366
02:04:59,240 --> 02:05:02,360
Speaker 2: night and it got some steam. It comes to the

2367
02:05:02,400 --> 02:05:06,400
Speaker 2: world of insiders and the deals that are done and

2368
02:05:06,680 --> 02:05:10,840
Speaker 2: sponsors and employers. And that's as the number two pick

2369
02:05:11,440 --> 02:05:13,600
Speaker 2: as to whether it was going to be Scoot Henderson

2370
02:05:14,080 --> 02:05:20,040
Speaker 2: or Brandon Miller and the sham Sharania tweet about Scoot

2371
02:05:20,160 --> 02:05:24,720
Speaker 2: gaining traction, we'll change the odds. And if he or

2372
02:05:24,920 --> 02:05:28,040
Speaker 2: fan Duel or anybody associated with any of that thought

2373
02:05:28,080 --> 02:05:32,360
Speaker 2: that wouldn't be the case, then they're a bunch of liars,

2374
02:05:33,040 --> 02:05:37,440
Speaker 2: Like flat out, I call shenanigans one hundred percent because

2375
02:05:37,480 --> 02:05:42,400
Speaker 2: we've watched line movement based on information forever. So to

2376
02:05:42,440 --> 02:05:44,240
Speaker 2: try to say, well, we didn't know that would change

2377
02:05:44,280 --> 02:05:45,880
Speaker 2: the odds, I mean, you know, it's like this is

2378
02:05:45,920 --> 02:05:48,120
Speaker 2: what I was hearing. It's like, well, you've got a

2379
02:05:48,160 --> 02:05:50,720
Speaker 2: responsibility there, because woj came over the top with the

2380
02:05:50,800 --> 02:05:55,200
Speaker 2: giant for like mulnear Hammer to say no, they were

2381
02:05:55,200 --> 02:05:57,760
Speaker 2: never off random Miller. What was their guy along?

2382
02:05:57,880 --> 02:05:59,920
Speaker 3: And I think that's what the betting line showed from

2383
02:06:00,080 --> 02:06:00,760
Speaker 3: earlier in the week.

2384
02:06:00,880 --> 02:06:02,600
Speaker 2: Yes, it was very yes.

2385
02:06:02,720 --> 02:06:07,000
Speaker 3: And so that's why Shams' tweet was so out of

2386
02:06:07,040 --> 02:06:10,360
Speaker 3: the norm because Vegas was again telling you something different.

2387
02:06:10,360 --> 02:06:12,760
Speaker 3: It always goes back to Las Vegas with all of this.

2388
02:06:13,520 --> 02:06:16,840
Speaker 3: Here's the thing about the Shams, It's a two part thing.

2389
02:06:17,440 --> 02:06:20,560
Speaker 3: Number One, he got into deep when the NFL Draft.

2390
02:06:20,600 --> 02:06:23,960
Speaker 3: Remember the Cardinals are going to take Will Anderson. Yeah,

2391
02:06:24,000 --> 02:06:27,600
Speaker 3: and even though Will Anderson did go third, he obviously

2392
02:06:27,680 --> 02:06:30,960
Speaker 3: went to the Houston Texans because the Texan Texans traded

2393
02:06:31,040 --> 02:06:33,640
Speaker 3: up for that pick with the Cardinals. That is a

2394
02:06:33,640 --> 02:06:38,040
Speaker 3: big deal. I'm sorry. Even though you went into that spot,

2395
02:06:38,400 --> 02:06:41,320
Speaker 3: you're waiting into waters that you're not usually into and

2396
02:06:41,360 --> 02:06:46,160
Speaker 3: you try to make your spot that that can hurt you.

2397
02:06:46,960 --> 02:06:50,360
Speaker 3: This can hurt you. And what it's not that insiders

2398
02:06:50,360 --> 02:06:54,760
Speaker 3: don't make mistakes, because everybody makes mistakes, but when you

2399
02:06:54,920 --> 02:07:00,200
Speaker 3: have something like this, if this happens again, that that's

2400
02:07:00,320 --> 02:07:02,720
Speaker 3: tough to come not to come back from, but it's

2401
02:07:02,800 --> 02:07:05,640
Speaker 3: tough to shake. It's tough to lose. That. Not that

2402
02:07:05,680 --> 02:07:09,520
Speaker 3: you wouldn't believe everything that he says, but this is

2403
02:07:09,560 --> 02:07:12,720
Speaker 3: going to stick around for a while, not only because

2404
02:07:12,720 --> 02:07:15,080
Speaker 3: of the betting, aspects that you said, but also just

2405
02:07:15,120 --> 02:07:17,600
Speaker 3: because you feel that a guy is plugged in and

2406
02:07:17,640 --> 02:07:20,520
Speaker 3: these guys usually don't miss. And now you're wondering, wait,

2407
02:07:20,640 --> 02:07:23,640
Speaker 3: why is he missing? How is he missing? And are

2408
02:07:23,680 --> 02:07:26,440
Speaker 3: others now going to try to use him because you know,

2409
02:07:26,480 --> 02:07:30,120
Speaker 3: for their own for their own purposes, which insiders need

2410
02:07:30,160 --> 02:07:31,800
Speaker 3: to be keenly aware of to do their job.

2411
02:07:31,880 --> 02:07:35,720
Speaker 2: Sure, it's a long standing thing, right, It's like our

2412
02:07:35,760 --> 02:07:39,080
Speaker 2: guy Jay Glazer for Fox. If he actually comes out

2413
02:07:39,120 --> 02:07:42,720
Speaker 2: with something pretty sure, it's already happened. Right, He's not

2414
02:07:42,760 --> 02:07:45,640
Speaker 2: putting his name on a bunch of random things. And

2415
02:07:45,960 --> 02:07:49,280
Speaker 2: that's just been the years in the business and learning

2416
02:07:49,360 --> 02:07:51,960
Speaker 2: how much people are trying to use you. And that

2417
02:07:52,000 --> 02:07:54,720
Speaker 2: doesn't you know, he's got his friendship's connections, whatever, and

2418
02:07:54,760 --> 02:07:58,800
Speaker 2: people can think what they want there, but it yields positive,

2419
02:07:59,400 --> 02:08:02,320
Speaker 2: proper in information when it's all said, none, And that's

2420
02:08:02,360 --> 02:08:06,760
Speaker 2: not to diminish Sham's overall, but for this particular purpose,

2421
02:08:07,440 --> 02:08:09,520
Speaker 2: it was, you know, as much as I can be

2422
02:08:09,560 --> 02:08:13,200
Speaker 2: all for hey, grow the pie. When it comes to

2423
02:08:13,760 --> 02:08:18,000
Speaker 2: the betting circles and legalization whatever, this shows the potential

2424
02:08:18,720 --> 02:08:22,720
Speaker 2: for potential foul play and problems that are fraught from

2425
02:08:22,760 --> 02:08:25,120
Speaker 2: the insider side of things.

2426
02:08:25,040 --> 02:08:29,080
Speaker 3: You can you can say Sham's messed up the NFL

2427
02:08:29,200 --> 02:08:32,720
Speaker 3: draft pick because guess what, he's not an NFL insider,

2428
02:08:33,360 --> 02:08:38,240
Speaker 3: like you can excuse that to say this. And it

2429
02:08:38,280 --> 02:08:44,720
Speaker 3: wasn't a concrete report. It was the serious momentum, right, yes,

2430
02:08:44,800 --> 02:08:48,360
Speaker 3: that that lends to what you are saying. That is

2431
02:08:48,440 --> 02:08:50,800
Speaker 3: the bigger deal in all of this. Plus this is

2432
02:08:50,800 --> 02:08:55,000
Speaker 3: his wheelhouse, that is that is almost unacceptable and you're like, wait,

2433
02:08:55,040 --> 02:08:59,480
Speaker 3: how does he not have that? And then it draws

2434
02:08:59,560 --> 02:09:03,400
Speaker 3: to the connections of the betting lines and those connections

2435
02:09:03,400 --> 02:09:08,000
Speaker 3: and those connections obviously aren't going away, they aren't it.

2436
02:09:08,520 --> 02:09:10,839
Speaker 3: It did add, by the way, didn't add the drama

2437
02:09:10,880 --> 02:09:14,320
Speaker 3: because again, the draft was the night of the draft

2438
02:09:14,400 --> 02:09:17,320
Speaker 3: lottery to find out who was gonna get wembn Yama

2439
02:09:17,480 --> 02:09:19,720
Speaker 3: and there wasn't a lot. There was more drama last year,

2440
02:09:20,040 --> 02:09:22,760
Speaker 3: remember Powlo Bank Carol Sure, And that's what the Scoot

2441
02:09:22,840 --> 02:09:25,600
Speaker 3: Henderson thing kind of made me think of of For

2442
02:09:25,640 --> 02:09:27,720
Speaker 3: a while. We thought so much, Okay, it's gonna be

2443
02:09:27,800 --> 02:09:30,360
Speaker 3: Jabari Smith, He's gonna be He's gonna be the first

2444
02:09:30,400 --> 02:09:32,920
Speaker 3: overall pick. That's where the magic are going and then

2445
02:09:33,000 --> 02:09:35,680
Speaker 3: Poolo the odds ended up changing and then he ended

2446
02:09:35,760 --> 02:09:38,160
Speaker 3: up being the first overall pick, and that seemed to

2447
02:09:38,200 --> 02:09:41,640
Speaker 3: happen just hours before the draft. That's what I wondered

2448
02:09:41,680 --> 02:09:43,800
Speaker 3: if what the scoot thing was, was it like the

2449
02:09:43,880 --> 02:09:46,040
Speaker 3: year prior, And in the end it wasn't because Brandon

2450
02:09:46,080 --> 02:09:48,960
Speaker 3: Miller for days had been the Vegas pick to go

2451
02:09:49,000 --> 02:09:49,600
Speaker 3: to Charlotte.

2452
02:09:49,680 --> 02:09:52,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I still say you should do they won. They

2453
02:09:52,120 --> 02:09:55,800
Speaker 2: shouldn't do the draft lottery in the middle of broadcasting games.

2454
02:09:56,480 --> 02:10:00,640
Speaker 2: How that's not a standalone event on multiple les just

2455
02:10:00,680 --> 02:10:01,360
Speaker 2: astounds me.

2456
02:10:01,480 --> 02:10:05,000
Speaker 3: I'll disagree with you because there's only fifteen there's really

2457
02:10:05,000 --> 02:10:06,320
Speaker 3: only five minutes of content.

2458
02:10:07,160 --> 02:10:08,960
Speaker 2: I think you can get twenty two out of them.

2459
02:10:09,440 --> 02:10:12,120
Speaker 3: Well they do, they do because they bring the guy

2460
02:10:12,200 --> 02:10:15,160
Speaker 3: up on stage, but really it is a and I

2461
02:10:15,240 --> 02:10:16,920
Speaker 3: love it. So I love the lottery. I love the

2462
02:10:16,960 --> 02:10:20,160
Speaker 3: actual drawing and with the drama, but it would just

2463
02:10:20,200 --> 02:10:22,680
Speaker 3: be Yeah, it'd be really drawn out.

2464
02:10:22,880 --> 02:10:25,880
Speaker 2: How about we do it on draft night? Now, that

2465
02:10:25,880 --> 02:10:27,520
Speaker 2: would be got a half hour. Let's go.

2466
02:10:27,840 --> 02:10:29,880
Speaker 3: Everybody knew when Minamo is going to be the pick.

2467
02:10:30,200 --> 02:10:32,520
Speaker 3: There was no surprise here.

2468
02:10:32,600 --> 02:10:35,960
Speaker 2: We do the lottery half hour or an hour before

2469
02:10:36,000 --> 02:10:39,040
Speaker 2: the draft commences. All right, figure it out.

2470
02:10:39,520 --> 02:10:42,480
Speaker 3: Yes, I like to set our draft order in our league.

2471
02:10:42,600 --> 02:10:43,920
Speaker 3: We've got other issues to deal with it.

2472
02:10:44,080 --> 02:10:46,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll talk about Dan's fantasy football dilemma.

2473
02:10:47,280 --> 02:10:49,320
Speaker 3: By the way, this dilemma has nothing to do with

2474
02:10:49,360 --> 02:10:51,640
Speaker 3: the league. So it's not about my fantasy team or anything.

2475
02:10:51,680 --> 02:10:54,360
Speaker 3: I think it's stuff that all of us can relate

2476
02:10:54,400 --> 02:10:56,880
Speaker 3: to you, And it's about your buddies and getting together

2477
02:10:56,880 --> 02:10:58,960
Speaker 3: with your buddies and trying to hammer out a draft.

2478
02:10:59,000 --> 02:11:00,560
Speaker 2: I really thought it was going to be about you

2479
02:11:00,600 --> 02:11:02,640
Speaker 2: trying to be an insider and you gave some guy

2480
02:11:02,760 --> 02:11:05,080
Speaker 2: some bad intel and sent him.

2481
02:11:04,920 --> 02:11:09,320
Speaker 3: The wrong that only that only happened once. That only

2482
02:11:09,320 --> 02:11:14,960
Speaker 3: happened once. We had an insider who was nailing every

2483
02:11:15,040 --> 02:11:18,200
Speaker 3: single pick. Yeah, and so then I let my buddies in.

2484
02:11:18,280 --> 02:11:20,880
Speaker 3: I go, you know, we have this guy gives us

2485
02:11:21,000 --> 02:11:24,560
Speaker 3: some insight, and I remember, I go, he likes the

2486
02:11:24,600 --> 02:11:27,480
Speaker 3: Browns plus eight against the Ravens and the game ended

2487
02:11:27,560 --> 02:11:30,280
Speaker 3: like forty two to ten Baltimore one. And so like,

2488
02:11:30,320 --> 02:11:33,120
Speaker 3: I've tried to shy away from doing that because that

2489
02:11:33,160 --> 02:11:35,280
Speaker 3: was the one missed. The guy was on fire, but

2490
02:11:35,400 --> 02:11:37,520
Speaker 3: instead of being eight and one, he was seven and

2491
02:11:37,640 --> 02:11:38,400
Speaker 3: two because of that.

2492
02:11:39,040 --> 02:11:41,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll do it. He's Dann Bayer on my Carbon

2493
02:11:41,360 --> 02:11:44,480
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Sunday Fox Sports Radio from the tirerac dot

2494
02:11:44,520 --> 02:11:48,320
Speaker 2: Com studios. Coming up next, that fantasy football dilemma and

2495
02:11:48,840 --> 02:11:52,240
Speaker 2: the running backs we celebrate them. We celebrated Riggins, now

2496
02:11:52,280 --> 02:11:55,680
Speaker 2: we're celebrating Joe Morris. Who are we celebrating in twenty

2497
02:11:55,720 --> 02:11:58,080
Speaker 2: twenty three? And why can't they get a fair shake?

2498
02:11:58,680 --> 02:11:59,800
Speaker 2: We'll tell you why next on.

2499
02:12:02,440 --> 02:12:06,040
Speaker 3: It's been a magnificent first half of the season, both

2500
02:12:06,080 --> 02:12:09,320
Speaker 3: the good and the bad. We've had some sticky substances.

2501
02:12:09,320 --> 02:12:12,360
Speaker 3: Max Schurzer part of that as well, and he hasn't

2502
02:12:12,360 --> 02:12:15,040
Speaker 3: been able to pitch. It has been. It has been

2503
02:12:15,240 --> 02:12:18,280
Speaker 3: a great first half of the season. As we reached

2504
02:12:18,320 --> 02:12:20,960
Speaker 3: the midway point. Teams will be playing their eighty first

2505
02:12:21,040 --> 02:12:23,720
Speaker 3: games of the season this week all Star Game. Not

2506
02:12:23,840 --> 02:12:25,920
Speaker 3: the halfway point of the midway point of the season.

2507
02:12:25,960 --> 02:12:28,240
Speaker 3: We're past it at that point. It will come this

2508
02:12:28,320 --> 02:12:30,800
Speaker 3: week and Mike and I, you know, we started off

2509
02:12:30,840 --> 02:12:33,040
Speaker 3: the show today and just talking there seemed to be

2510
02:12:33,080 --> 02:12:36,440
Speaker 3: a lot of momentum with the World Baseball Classic and

2511
02:12:36,480 --> 02:12:40,120
Speaker 3: then it carries over. Pitch clock games are lasting two hours,

2512
02:12:40,120 --> 02:12:42,920
Speaker 3: and people are Most people are loving it, some people

2513
02:12:42,960 --> 02:12:43,360
Speaker 3: are not.

2514
02:12:43,320 --> 02:12:48,440
Speaker 2: Loving attendance, Yes, viewership is up. All of those things

2515
02:12:49,360 --> 02:12:53,200
Speaker 2: definitely are are part of this equation, and you can

2516
02:12:53,240 --> 02:12:55,720
Speaker 2: say that there have been some positive will continue. That

2517
02:12:55,760 --> 02:12:58,040
Speaker 2: momentarily got to remind you that was the progressive play

2522
02:13:08,880 --> 02:13:10,880
Speaker 3: Think about all the things that have happened so far

2523
02:13:10,920 --> 02:13:13,800
Speaker 3: in the first part of this baseball season. You mentioned

2524
02:13:13,840 --> 02:13:17,240
Speaker 3: attendance being up, Red's having a sellout in the act

2525
02:13:17,360 --> 02:13:21,760
Speaker 3: bad days in this same season where they drew seven

2526
02:13:21,800 --> 02:13:24,760
Speaker 3: thousand fans to the game earlier this year now.

2527
02:13:24,800 --> 02:13:27,000
Speaker 2: The month of April, that's what they averaged April.

2528
02:13:27,440 --> 02:13:31,400
Speaker 3: April weekday games are tough, especially in the Upper Midwest.

2529
02:13:31,520 --> 02:13:35,560
Speaker 3: Weather doesn't always cooperate. You actually get some teams playing

2530
02:13:35,560 --> 02:13:39,400
Speaker 3: more day games. School is still in session. That's a

2531
02:13:39,520 --> 02:13:43,440
Speaker 3: problem with all teams usually in April. Now in the summer,

2532
02:13:43,440 --> 02:13:45,280
Speaker 3: you we're hoping to see it. You mentioned the Reds

2533
02:13:45,320 --> 02:13:48,200
Speaker 3: twelve game win streak ends on Saturday, one shy of

2534
02:13:48,240 --> 02:13:51,040
Speaker 3: the race thirteen game win streak that started the season.

2535
02:13:51,280 --> 02:13:54,920
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh played well. Texas is living up to expectations without

2536
02:13:55,080 --> 02:13:57,960
Speaker 3: Jacob de Gram for a majority of the season. There's

2537
02:13:58,000 --> 02:14:02,120
Speaker 3: so much going on. The Angels actually actually may be

2538
02:14:02,320 --> 02:14:02,760
Speaker 3: for real.

2539
02:14:03,120 --> 02:14:05,640
Speaker 2: And they made two moves yes right, they make a

2540
02:14:05,680 --> 02:14:07,880
Speaker 2: trade with the Mets, and then yesterday, in addition to

2541
02:14:07,960 --> 02:14:11,400
Speaker 2: clubbing the Rockies, they say, hey, we'll take Mike Mustachus

2542
02:14:11,440 --> 02:14:11,840
Speaker 2: as well.

2543
02:14:12,320 --> 02:14:14,800
Speaker 3: And and here's another thing, And we touched on this

2544
02:14:14,800 --> 02:14:17,040
Speaker 3: because we talked about the Yankees. We talked about the

2545
02:14:17,040 --> 02:14:19,840
Speaker 3: problems that the Dodgers are having. Houston doesn't seem to

2546
02:14:19,840 --> 02:14:23,360
Speaker 3: be the same Houston. But the teams that we thought

2547
02:14:23,400 --> 02:14:28,200
Speaker 3: were invincible maybe aren't. Braves look to be pretty good.

2548
02:14:28,800 --> 02:14:30,920
Speaker 3: But the Dodgers don't seem to be the same Dodgers

2549
02:14:30,920 --> 02:14:33,080
Speaker 3: of old. A lot of names that you're used to

2550
02:14:33,080 --> 02:14:36,760
Speaker 3: seeing they don't have mentioned Houston. You know, they don't

2551
02:14:36,760 --> 02:14:40,520
Speaker 3: have Justin Verlander anymore. They've still got some some horses

2552
02:14:40,560 --> 02:14:42,840
Speaker 3: that you're gonna have to have to deal with, but

2553
02:14:43,880 --> 02:14:47,680
Speaker 3: there's it's not as much of a of a runaway either.

2554
02:14:48,240 --> 02:14:51,320
Speaker 3: When you look at maybe Atlanta is the best team

2555
02:14:51,360 --> 02:14:54,400
Speaker 3: in the National League. But in the American League, I

2556
02:14:54,480 --> 02:14:57,040
Speaker 3: think that it's it's wide open with a bunch of teams,

2557
02:14:57,080 --> 02:14:59,480
Speaker 3: and the ALE East, for as bad as the AL

2558
02:14:59,560 --> 02:15:02,240
Speaker 3: Central A we're getting a race. And for as good

2559
02:15:02,240 --> 02:15:04,240
Speaker 3: as the AL East is, all of those teams seem

2560
02:15:04,280 --> 02:15:06,920
Speaker 3: to be in contention. So I guess the theme of

2561
02:15:06,960 --> 02:15:09,280
Speaker 3: today is that baseball has been really, really good to

2562
02:15:09,320 --> 02:15:11,320
Speaker 3: everyone except the Oakland A's, and they've even been a

2563
02:15:11,320 --> 02:15:12,080
Speaker 3: part of the story.

2564
02:15:12,680 --> 02:15:15,320
Speaker 2: Well, they had that big wind streak and now you've

2565
02:15:15,360 --> 02:15:17,520
Speaker 2: got the moving issues. We talked about it a little

2566
02:15:17,560 --> 02:15:20,320
Speaker 2: bit earlier, the politics of it put aside. I mean,

2567
02:15:20,360 --> 02:15:24,760
Speaker 2: there's so much else to it that flows through the

2568
02:15:24,800 --> 02:15:28,680
Speaker 2: fan base. As much as they cry about, you know,

2569
02:15:28,760 --> 02:15:32,920
Speaker 2: being jilted. They haven't hit two million in attendance but

2570
02:15:33,120 --> 02:15:36,840
Speaker 2: once or twice in the last twenty years, So you know, again,

2571
02:15:36,960 --> 02:15:40,840
Speaker 2: small city though right half a million large and we've

2572
02:15:40,880 --> 02:15:44,240
Speaker 2: already seen a couple of exits. I want to close

2573
02:15:44,280 --> 02:15:47,000
Speaker 2: with this. We did get a quick reaction from our

2574
02:15:47,080 --> 02:15:51,480
Speaker 2: discussion of the fantasy football dilemma. Quote telling your wife

2575
02:15:51,480 --> 02:15:54,240
Speaker 2: about your upcoming fantasy draft you need to attend is

2576
02:15:54,280 --> 02:15:56,560
Speaker 2: like when Indiana Jones has the standoff with the guy

2577
02:15:56,600 --> 02:15:59,120
Speaker 2: with the sword, going back to the original Raiders of

2578
02:15:59,160 --> 02:16:01,400
Speaker 2: the Lost art and the guy with the sword does

2579
02:16:01,400 --> 02:16:07,400
Speaker 2: all this fancy trickery just end up being shot. Oh

2580
02:16:08,040 --> 02:16:11,160
Speaker 2: there you go. Baseball Biz twenty seven to eleven. I

2581
02:16:11,280 --> 02:16:12,240
Speaker 2: like that that gem.

2582
02:16:12,640 --> 02:16:15,560
Speaker 3: Gary. Gary tweeted in that he wanted in on my league,

2583
02:16:15,960 --> 02:16:18,360
Speaker 3: and I don't know if it's because he wants to

2584
02:16:18,360 --> 02:16:20,760
Speaker 3: get away from his family for a night or if

2585
02:16:20,760 --> 02:16:22,360
Speaker 3: he just thinks that the league sounds great.

2586
02:16:22,360 --> 02:16:24,720
Speaker 2: But the boy, he's expecting someone to get dropped when
