Speaker 1: for you every single night. Well stuff, I didn't have

19
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: MYO card. Was Roki Sasaki getting pulled for blake trying

20
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: it yet? This is where we are. The Dodgers with

21
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: a two to nothing lead going to the bottom of

22
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: the ninth inning. The Brewers, thanks to a load of walks,

23
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: have been able to push this to a two to

24
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: one disadvantage. And now with Bryce Terrang up count is

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 1: one in one bases loaded, one in two count. Now

26
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: to Bryce Terrang again is Blake trining in And I

27
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: think Dodger fans are going, oh my goodness, Blake trying it.

28
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: Come on, But this is where Dave Roberts goes Lefty.

29
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: Terrang up does not go to Alex Vessie stays with

30
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: Blake tried in here again, two to one, Dodger lead

31
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: game one of the NLCS bases loaded in the ninth

32
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: and wow, trying it almost hits Terrang with a curveball,

33
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry, that's where you have to turn and

34
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: get hit by that.

35
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta take one for the team right there.

36
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 3: That's just that baseball fun amount. That's one on one man.

37
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: You have to turn and get hit by that pitch.

38
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: That's apps what you have to do. You cannot, you

39
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: cannot just back away. You got to turn and get

40
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: hit by that pitch. Got him absolutely. Uh So the

41
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: Dodgers one and two count. Here's the pitch, it's a strikeout.

42
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 1: Blake trying and gets the final out of the game

43
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: and the Dodgers survive two to one. Blake Snell will

44
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: no longer have to fight anybody after the game.

45
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 4: He might have been the most unhappy guy sitting in there.

46
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: We've never seen it, but Blake trying and gets it done.

47
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: Really and look, quite honestly, if you are Bryce terrang,

48
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: you have to turn. I know that the reaction is, hey,

49
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to get hit, but that's a pitch

50
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: that's really inside that you have to swing at and

51
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: you have to get hit by. And then he chases

52
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: a pitch that is three feet outside of the strike

53
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: zone four strike three. The Dodgers win Game one, and

54
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: the Brewers are left saying, what just happened? We had

55
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: everything going our way?

56
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 4: What just happened?

57
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 3: Trying in the second strike of that at bat was

58
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 3: a bit above the zone, so maybe he felt he

59
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 3: had to go up. But I mean, this pitch is

60
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 3: really really high. I like the high ones chases it

61
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 3: for that third stride. Trying and much maligned over the

62
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 3: course of the year. I mean we talked about ball,

63
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: you know, strikeouts to walk. It was basically less than

64
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 3: two to one.

65
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 4: He was five to four.

66
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 3: E er in the regular season two and seven record

67
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 3: propensity to throw wild pitches. All of these things at

68
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 3: play and gets them to chase the high third strike.

69
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 3: But to your point, yeah, that ball came inside.

70
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. It's gonna hurt. It's gonna leave a bruise. Right.

71
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 3: My daughter is just healing from one she stood in

72
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 3: and took as a defender last week in a soccer

73
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 3: game that left a bruise. The shape of the ball,

74
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 3: it's really it was really quite disturbing to see. But

75
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 3: he's starting to heal. And guess what they won that game.

76
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 3: I here, you take take one for the team. Man.

77
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 4: You have up. You have to you know.

78
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: And that's the thing is that And this was always

79
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: a tough lesson to teach the girls in softball, right,

80
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: because when you come up, your instance is to get

81
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: out of the way if a pitch, get out of

82
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: way a pitch like, okay, I get it. And when

83
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: they're young, because there's lots of like like when you

84
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: get when the kids are like eight, ten, eleven, the

85
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: pitchers are wild, and so you want to get out

86
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: of the way because you want to hit. But I

87
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: always tell hey, when it's a game that counts. You're

88
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: not backing out of the way. You are turn because

89
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: all you gotta do is turn. You have to make

90
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: it look like you're getting out of the way. You

91
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,119
Speaker 1: can't just sit there and get hit. But if it's easy,

92
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: you turn.

93
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:28,559
Speaker 4: To get out of the way.

94
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: Instead of getting out of the way, you take that

95
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: hit by pitch, you get on first base. If it's

96
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: a term, it's a big game, you gotta do that right.

97
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: And that's I'm watching Bryce Terraum going, wow, you got

98
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta find a way to just I

99
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: got to get hit by any means necessary. I get

100
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: to get on first base. But then he makes up

101
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: for it by swinging it at a pitch three feet out

102
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: of the strikeer. Well, you know, I mean, that's that's

103
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: a huge The Dodgers escape, and that's absolute karma for

104
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, and the Brewers have to be saying, what

105
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: just happened?

106
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 4: What just happened.

107
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 3: I think they're all gonna respond to the the Brewers

108
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 3: manager who said, hey, that none of them can name

109
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 3: eight guys at a roster. I can name that guy,

110
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 3: Terrain because he sucked in a big moment.

111
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: Here's how it sounded just moments ago, the Dodgers taking

112
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: a one game to non lead in the NLCS, TBS

113
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: on the call. I don't know that they found one

114
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: as much as they got bailed out because trying to

115
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: what he walks Contraras clearly, and I said at the

116
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: time it wasn't a bad walk, right, trying and comes

117
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: in first and third, and then yellich Steel's second. So

118
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: now second and third, So now they say out of

119
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: the force play and also a base it probably wins

120
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: the game. Trying to comes in and you can tell

121
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: right away Contreras is on him right fouls off two

122
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: fast balls right back, doesn't chase a couple of pitches

123
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: outside the strike zone. That's where trying to has to say,

124
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: you know what, no, no, no, we uh all right,

125
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: it's okay. Putting him on first base, We'll get the

126
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 1: next guy. So he walks Contraras and then nearly hits

127
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: Terrang and then to rank somehow at a pitch. I

128
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: mean that pitch just climbed. It almost looked like a

129
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: back door slider kind of pitch that just rose more

130
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: because the movement on it was really really difficult. It

131
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: was really weird, and it just gets up, but the

132
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: pitch is up in his eyes like it is three

133
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: feet high out of the strike zone, and instead of

134
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: taking that, taking that to two to two a full count,

135
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: you wind up striking out and you hand the game

136
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: to the Dodgers, I mean the Dodge. Look, they didn't

137
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: find anything with Blake, Tron and the Dodgers escape. There's

138
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: good pitching to talk about, but trying to just happen

139
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: to get the out. But they escape, and they take

140
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: a huge advantage and a big emotional advantage in the NLCS. Yeah,

141
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: you talk about escape, succeed and proceed. Look, he made

142
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: the pitch and got him to chase. Now, the second

143
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: strike of that at bad again was you know with

144
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: our little handy dandy box that they put up, was

145
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: came in high. But you get the call fine, and

146
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: then he doesn't doesn't take the doesn't take what would

147
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: be a hit by pitch to force home the tying run,

148
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: and then chases out of his own thinking he liked

149
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: he liked the high ones again going back to a

150
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: league of their own. But for Blake, drying to look

151
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: he got he made the pitch and got him to chase.

152
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 4: Blake.

153
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 3: We saw Blake Snell with the reaction, the big exhale

154
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 3: that he had. Sasaki did not have it tonight. But

155
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 3: as they went to the bullpen, we're looking at each

156
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 3: other going, I don't know.

157
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: Sasaki looked stunned that he was getting taken out of

158
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: the game. Not that he wanted to fight, but the

159
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: look on his eye, you see, his eyes were just

160
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: like I'm getting taken out of this gay But he

161
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: didn't have control. He walked a couple of guys, they

162
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: got a run off him, and clearly he has not

163
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: earned the Dave Roberts eye. He has not earned the

164
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: right to I'm closing no matter what, Like he's not

165
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz, where we win or lose with you, this

166
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,239
Speaker 1: is no I come out. But the way he walked

167
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: off the mountain was like what just happened? Like he doesn't,

168
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: I don't get what just happened.

169
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 4: But that becomes the question.

170
00:07:59,360 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 5: Right.

171
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 3: We talked about the mentality of closers, and certainly still

172
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 3: pretty new to the situation and to the role that

173
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 3: we know. It is a place where mentally you got

174
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 3: to be locked in and you could lose a guy

175
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 3: really fast. And so now you question that going forward, right,

176
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 3: with with an outing that was less than stellar. You

177
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 3: had the big double by Bowers, the ground rule double,

178
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 3: so second and third Churio hits the sacrifice fly. We

179
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,239
Speaker 3: watched the bases locked full by all of that. To say,

180
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 3: what is Sasaki like the next time you go to

181
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 3: the pen? You have no idea, You have no idea

182
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 3: how he's.

183
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 4: Going to respond? Yeah, what do you got? Frostburg? All

184
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:41,359
Speaker 4: of that is irrelevant.

185
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 6: Can we take a moment here or the next three

186
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 6: hours to celebrate what the hell Blake's.

187
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no, that was great. It's just great.

188
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 4: Don't know nor sell it. That's why I say it.

189
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to say, hey, you want to get to

190
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: a pitching performance that was really good and not lucky Blake. Look,

191
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: we said this middle of September. Right, you go back

192
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: to the game where Blake Snell told Dave Roberts, no,

193
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: I'm not coming out of this game. Right, he stays

194
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: in the game. Blake Snell needed to be the Dodgers ace.

195
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: He needed to be that guy because it's not just

196
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: about talent, it's about having that extra bit of get

197
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: on my back and I got you and so far

198
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, he's pitched six seven and eight innings

199
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: with the Dodgers eight innings tonight. Never went more than

200
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: six innings in any other playoff. Adams with the Rays

201
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: and the Padres. Right talking Baseball had had this stat

202
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: a few minutes ago. Blake Snell has is becoming the

203
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: modern day Madison Bumgardner, who was really good in the

204
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: regular season, but Madison bum Murder wasn't unbeatable in the

205
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: regular season.

206
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 4: A couple of years.

207
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: He was really good, Like it was really good, absurd,

208
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: he was really good. You get to the playoffs and

209
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: suddenly it's whoa, whoa, whoa. That's what Blake Snell is becoming.

210
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: The one stat I saw, like his last one hundred

211
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: summut innings pitch he's allowed thirteen hits, Like every game

212
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: has been more strikeouts than innings.

213
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 4: Pitch like he is.

214
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: He is at the highest level of playoff performance of

215
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: any pitcher in a while. And and like I said,

216
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: he's he's becoming the modern day because you know, Madison

217
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: bumgarn his time was over in the in the mid

218
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: you know teams when then after that he was just

219
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: yelling at people. And now you hit a home run

220
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: off he just run around the base as well. Lots

221
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: of guys hitting home runs off you. Now you've got

222
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: to just be cool with that. But that's where Blake's

223
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: So this is why he's we said he's got to

224
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: sort all the game ones, all the biggest games for

225
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. Blake's now on the mound as much as

226
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: humanly possible because he is that guy. He is that

227
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: playoff guy. He is that ace and to throw it

228
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: out there too. Not a guy that's got a lot

229
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: of tread on his arm from this year. But it

230
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: was out all right.

231
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 4: I pitched eleven started eleven games in the regular season.

232
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: You get to a point with a lot of playing.

233
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: We talk about a lot with the NBA where hey,

234
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: you hope some injuries are strategic, right, Like guys like

235
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: Lebron or Anthony Davis that you know we're gonna get hurt. Hey,

236
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: we hope they get hurt middle of the season, start

237
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: of the season, so when you get to the playoffs

238
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: and we need them, they're not running on empty. Right,

239
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: You want that right to talk about strategic injuries that

240
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: do it. The same thing for Blake SNeW Like, you

241
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: hope if he's gonna be out because he misses his time.

242
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: It's a strategic injury, and it was this is strategic

243
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: as possibly have because he came back with enough time

244
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: at the end of the season to get going and

245
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: he's hit the playoffs. He is at an absolute peak

246
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: right now and you are seeing again he is performing

247
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: unlike anybody we've seen some Bumgardner a decade ago.

248
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 3: Eight innings pitch today, ten strikeouts. The only hit was

249
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 3: Durban and he was immediately picked off. Yeah, I'm so

250
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 3: mad at you're able to pick you off. I mean,

251
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 3: that was it. Otherwise he just mowed him down inning

252
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 3: after inning. They had the in game interview with Dave

253
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 3: Roberts and is like, is he in a trance?

254
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 4: And Roberts just smiled.

255
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 3: He goes, he's just getting started, right, Just yeah, that's

256
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 3: where he's at, like when he's in that zone, just

257
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 3: just let him go. And part of me was surprised,

258
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 3: even with one hundred and three pitches, he didn't demand

259
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 3: to go back out there for the night to finish

260
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 3: it himself.

261
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: The way, Yeah, he was up over one hundred pitches,

262
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: right around one hundred pitches, and but I'm okay, Hey,

263
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: I am eminently okay with Blake Snel to Rokie Society

264
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: and Ka Sasaki been but he'd been on been unhittable.

265
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 3: But what did we say, like as he was coming in,

266
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 3: It's like, this is the gift and exactly if you

267
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 3: were to ask the baseball gods, right, if if little

268
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts is praying to the baseball gods, what does

269
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 3: he want? My starter can get me eight, which again

270
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 3: is rarefied air in this day and age of Major

271
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 3: League Baseball. When you get an effort like that, you

272
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 3: celebrate the hell out of it. Uh to go to

273
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 3: your guy that that has become your closer. The last

274
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 3: couple of weeks and unfortunately Sasaki struggled with his control tonight,

275
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 3: twenty two pitches only ten strikes.

276
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look and I get it, and look

277
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: and I get I get the move from from Dave

278
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: Roberts too, because you know, yes, you're too young to

279
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: know what you don't know. But the the bad side

280
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 1: of that is when you say, hey, you're too young young. Yeah,

281
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: it's great because you're not feeling the pressure, but you

282
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: need to be able to say I've been I've been

283
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 1: here before, right, I've been here before. I know how

284
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: to get out of it when things just completely get

285
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: you right and that and that's really what happened to

286
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: to Sasaki tonight. You could tell okay, once he walked

287
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: the run to go to Okay, now now we have

288
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: to go to we have to go to somebody else.

289
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: We can't trust you. It's another one. It's not your night,

290
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: and it's a learning experience for you. And look, Dave

291
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: Roberts is gonna sit in the postgame press conference like

292
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: a king patting himself on a back going. I told you,

293
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: Blake Trnton is my guy. I told you he's my guy. Okay, David,

294
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: but I told you he's my guy.

295
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 4: Frostperg.

296
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 6: You got a big Blake Snell stat for us right now?

297
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 6: What he got, Well, it's even a crazier house. It

298
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 6: is Blake Snell's staff and a postseason stat okay, of

299
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 6: just how good he was tonight.

300
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 4: You're ready for this? Mm hmm.

301
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 6: Blake Snell is the first MLB pitcher to face the

302
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 6: minimum through eight innings of a postseason game since Don

303
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 6: Larson No. Six perfect game.

304
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 4: Wow? Really, yes, Oh that's how good Blake Snell was tonight.

305
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, because Halliday was a no hitter, so yeah, okay, okay, wow,

306
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: I mean only got to reach base picked them off. Yeah, yeah,

307
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: that's that's Blake Snell.

308
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 4: He was pissed that.

309
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: You're really nice, snow my effort. Now, I want to

Speaker 1: I need say coming up next. We have more on

396
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,360

00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 4: Right.

400
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: It was gonna be a little rocky, but okay, but

401
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: this is the right thing. You just had to wait

402
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: that a little bit. But Caleb Williams was gonna be fine.

403
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: And Caleb Williams right now, this is the second straight

404
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: game that he has led the Bears down for a

405
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 1: game winning score at the end. And he has done

406
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: it in a variety of ways. He's on it, throwing

407
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: the football, well, he has done it, scrambling, making plays

408
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: with his legs, making smart decisions. And you had the

409
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: game winner against the Raiders. The game it was the Raiders,

410
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: but still game winner. But now game winner on the

411
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: road Monday night football tonight against the Commanders. He is

412
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: putting together a really good season. He has arrived.

413
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 4: He is a star quarterback in the NFL. He's here.

414
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 4: Everything we thought about it, Oh we can't, we don't want.

415
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 4: I don't like did he paints his nails?

416
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: I don't like that. He has good body language all there.

417
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: You just need to be in the right system, the

418
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: right guy coaching you. As you can see all throughout

419
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: the NFL, do you have the right guy coaching in

420
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: the right system. This was this was fine from the beginning.

421
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson needed time to get used to what's it

422
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: like being an NFL head coach. I'm gonna make my mistakes,

423
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: and I like the fact that most of the mistakes

424
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: he made were the first couple weeks of the season.

425
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 1: There is a marked difference in how the Bears are

426
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: finishing games the last three weeks that they've played with

427
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: a bye last week, the last three weeks compared to

428
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: the first three weeks. Right, Ben Johnson has accelerated that

429
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: learning curve, and just by the fact that hey, we

430
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: got down there twice and won the last couple of games.

431
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: This is part of your growth. This is part of

432
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: what makes you a great quarterback. Now, Caleb Williams too

433
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: big clutch. If we say the great things about Baker Bayfield,

434
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: we gotta say the great things about Caleb Williams. He

435
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 1: has arrived. He is a star. He's having a terrific season.

436
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 1: Even if you know, if you haven't been fantasy, he's

437
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: been great for you so far. He's a top five

438
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: fantasy quarterback. Everybody's on board. Hayter's got to depart that

439
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: bus right now. He says, Okay, hey, there's time to

440
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,720

Speaker 3: that Super Bowl appearance forget Bears legend Andy Dalton. Oh,

469
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 3: that's right, that's right. There's so many. Yeah, we could

470
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 3: go down the path.

471
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,959
Speaker 4: But he's done. I can't believe none of those guys

472
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 4: have ever done right. But five games done it.

473
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 3: Five games, one touchdown. We're not talking two touchdowns, talking

474
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 3: three hundred. I mean, I know there's no four thousand

475
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 3: yard passer. We know that, and Caleb has made that

476
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 3: abundantly clear. The one thing that you come out of

477
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 3: this game. And I hope Caleb Williams walked over to

478
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 3: Jayden Daniels and said, you know, the ball can be

479
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:39,959
Speaker 3: slippery sometimes.

480
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: Wow.

481
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, look, he was a jackass to him

482
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 4: last year.

483
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 3: I think Caleb buff We'll see what their exchange was

484
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 3: in the post. The Bears defense for Dennis Allen, they moved,

485
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 3: they ben, they do not break. They had several uh

486
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 3: that looked one would take away as where you just

487
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 3: kind of laugh and go okay, yeah.

488
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: But still you had the one Look, it's twenty four points.

489
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: You had the one score set up by the block kick,

490
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: which is special team. But it's better to be lucky

491
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: than good. But all in its growth and it's a

492
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: big win here. And in a couple of weeks, I'll

493
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 1: watch this team probably maybe Lamar Jackson will be back.

494
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: But what version of the Ravens he's leading, I don't know.

495
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 1: You go back to the opening games though, Game one

496
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: against Brian Floor's new offense, trying to go against that defense,

497
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna have your struggles, and they still almost won

498
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: that game. Week two was the battle against the Lions,

499
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: whatever the Lions may be now, and we can talk

500
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: about them. Yeah, in that game, there was a they

501
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: took it personally and they ran up the fifty two points.

502
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: They wanted to make sure Ben Johnson knew. We still

503
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: don't like the fact he went to the beach.

504
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 3: Right and every one of their players cursed him up

505
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 3: and down as you went. But all of that to say,

506
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 3: you're seeing growth, You're seeing this roster come together. Tonight

507
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 3: you got a great effort from the Andre Swift he

508
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 3: was far and away the best weapon as a runner

509
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 3: and as a receiver, So there needs to be a

510
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 3: greater depth as the season goes on. You had a

511
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 3: couple of big plays. There was one to Zachaias at

512
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 3: the start of a drive on a second down that

513
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 3: should have been a first down wasn't. But then the

514
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 3: Commanders get the ball back and you have in shotgun

515
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 3: mode for Daniels. He can't handle the exchange as he

516
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 3: goes to to do the handoff. Bears take the possession

517
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 3: of the football and drive down for the game winning

518
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 3: field goal.

519
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: Yeah look that look obviously we talked about Caleb Weas

520
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: just for a second, the biggest play of the game.

521
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: The Commanders have the football and the lead. They are

522
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: driving and potentially could put the game out of reach, right,

523
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: but really put it on ice. They just biff the

524
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: handoff like this was not something where something had This

525
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: was just in the shotgun. Daniels musts the handoff and

526
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: Night gets in really fast. Right. One of my favorite

527
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: phrases always Johnny on the spot, like Knight, Johnny on

528
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: the spot, which you know growing up the hockey thos

529
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: Johnny on the.

530
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 4: Spot, Johnny on the spot, and as a crow flies.

531
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: And night falls on it, and and Caleb Williams takes

532
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: them down final drive. I mean, it's it, really it was.

533
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: It was so impressive by the Bears because, look, finishing

534
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: games is the biggest thing that you can see a

535
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: team when they take to another level, right, because look,

536
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: the Jets are terrible, right, They're zero to six.

537
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 4: What's going on with them? They can't finish games? Well,

538
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 4: look at the look at the One of the other

539
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 4: great examples is Miami.

540
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: Yeah that Miami, right, Miami. They can't finish, You got it.

541
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: Finishing games is the biggest It's graduation day. You go

542
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,239
Speaker 1: from a team that, hey, hey they're building something, to oh,

543
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: wait a minute, now we have to take this team

544
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,479
Speaker 1: seriously because they know how to finish. The Bears are

545
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: three and two. They finish the last two games. They

546
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 1: beat the crop out of the Cowboys, and Williams threw

547
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: four touchdowns. Like the Bears are the Bears are arriving.

548
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: Williams is Williams is kind of the hood ornament for this. Hey,

549
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: the Bears are starting to arrive here a little bit,

550
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: and and they've become a team that now they have

551
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: confidence going into all their games because the last couple

552
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: of games, Hey, at the end, we made plays defensively

553
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: and offensively, we went down the field and scored. Right now,

554
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: is it is perfect as we wanted it to be

555
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: with no, we're not a razor sharp precision down the

556
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: field the end, scoring a touchdown with no time left,

557
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: but getting down there for the game winning field goal.

558
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: It looked like the Bears were gonna settle for like

559
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: a fifty yarder for Moody, which was man, you just

560
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: had one blocked and it was. But Swift makes a

561
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: couple of big plays and he was big tonight. He

562
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: had a couple of look he had a big touchdown

563
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: from Caleb Williams that he made a guy miss and

564
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 1: went into the end zone. But the Bears are starting

565
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: to put all of this together now. But I'm telling

566
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: you there is nothing that separates teams more than the

567
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: ability to finish. Because I watched the Jets and I

568
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: go again, we just can't. When it was eleven to

569
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: ten going to the fourth quarter, I tweeted out thirteen

570
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: to eleven final coming up at you.

571
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 4: I knew that was gonna happen.

572
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: Because Aaron Glenn thinks, oh my defense is just gonna

573
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: stop them every single time.

574
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 4: No, it's not gonna that's not the NFL.

575
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: And of course all the Broncos one drive right, Bonnix

576
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: completed four passes in the set and half was enough

577
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: to win because of Jets stink because their offense is

578
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: absolutely terrible. Right the Dolphins giving games away. You see

579
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: teams giving games away and go, this is part of

580
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: what what what what makes you good? And it's also

581
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: what part of what sinks your season because there's nothing

582
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: more deflating than we can't finish at the end of

583
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: a game. And there's no formula to it. It's just

584
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: either you either you focus and execute.

585
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 4: Or you can't.

586
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: And the Bears have been able to execute. Man, I'm

587
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: telling you, good time, Mike. I've been telling you good

588
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: times are coming. The era of good feeling is here

589
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: for you.

590
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,959
Speaker 4: It's here. You are like, I don't know, I don't know, Bears,

591
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 4: I told you, Look how good the era of good

592
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,479
Speaker 4: feeling is. There's still a lot of work here. Good

593
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 4: it is.

594
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 3: I'll take the win and I'm gonna celebrate the hell

595
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 3: out of win too. There's still a lot of work

596
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 3: to be done here. And now they got New Orleans.

597
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 4: You haven't been three and two since you went to

598
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl.

599
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 3: Come on, now, there has been ana you looking at

600
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 3: me like, no, be right, no, no, no, there was

601
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 3: a I almost cursed at waity. I almost cursed at

602
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 3: that was the laws. That wasn't a mental math thing.

603
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 3: That was legitimately a all right do I want to

604
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 3: risk my job and our FCZ.

605
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 4: But I'm not going to.

606
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 1: Oh the Caleb Haney years where you're going back to wow.

607
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, sorry, sorry, back to what.

608
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 3: You got at the point being that there's still a

609
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,959
Speaker 3: lot of work. It's a work in progress, but you

610
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 3: can see the strides and you could see Ben Johnson right, good, better, best,

611
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 3: all that stuff, all those great speeches that come to fruition.

612
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 3: I was gonna pull the curtain back on the DeAndre

613
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 3: Swift touchdown. Is that they took a shot deep ball

614
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 3: with Roma Dunes on the play before that into double

615
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 3: coverage narrow miss. I yelled, damn it. I had a

616
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 3: cup of coffee brewing and ranto the bathroom and then

617
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 3: you guys are pounding out the door.

618
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 4: They just scored, they just started. You gotta get out.

619
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 6: Here like bears, you know how many times that actually happens.

620
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 4: Never Harmon.

621
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: Harmon went to the bathroom and uh, Williams throws the

622
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: past to Swift. Swift makes the guy miss at midfield.

Speaker 3: go sprinting out like with my pants down.

636
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 4: I don't really think we can make that up.

637
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm a little taken it back by how fat Frostburg

638
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: he got out when I said you got to get

639
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:35,960

643
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 4: number one. Here's the replay number one.

644
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 3: Drinking a lot of coffee, okay, hydrating all of that stuff.

645
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 3: I drink a ridiculous amount of water over the course

646
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 3: of the day. So uh, ergo, you're you're in the bathroom.

647
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 3: But yes, insanity, great game for Deandre's with passing. Game

648
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 3: still needs to come to a fuller place from my comfort.

649
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 3: But look, you take the victory and you move on. Right.

650
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 3: These are games that for many, many years I have

651
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 3: watched them lose in dramatic fashion. When they blocked the

652
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 3: Moody kick earlier. I mean I threw my pen. I

653
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 3: still haven't found it.

654
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 4: That's all right, that's all right.

655
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 3: So we were in the middle of the pot because

656
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 3: there were a lot going on, right, we had a

657
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 3: switch screen we had that happened as there were tense

658
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 3: moments in the Dodger game. So you're in the middle

659
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 3: of talking, I just threw my pad. It was never

660
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 3: in doubt, Mike never No. No Bears and the Dodgers

661
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 3: no sweating. Don't put those teams in the same suse well,

662
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 3: they're both winners tonight.

663

675
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: who's been called the Caleb Williams of Fox Sports Radio.

676
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,959
Speaker 1: It took a while, but you realize I can trust him.

677

Speaker 1: When the chips are down. It's Steve the Seger.

678
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 7: Better late than never. Can I just point out that

679
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 7: Jake Moody beat Deebo Samuel in this game tonight. Former

680
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 7: forty nine er teammates and no doubt pen pals, but yes,

681
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 7: Jake Moedy. Jake Moody was four for five on field goals.

682
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 7: Steebo Samuel was active despite a bruise teal. He had

683
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 7: only fifteen yards receiving on four catches, and NFL research

684
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 7: says Caleb Williams of the Bears is on pace right

685
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 7: now for four thousand and nine yards passing.

686
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: That's not yeah, but I think that got the Ravens

687
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: are in two weeks.

688
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 4: That's a tough one steal. No, No, you got the

689
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 4: Ravens in two weeks. They're not getting healthy all of

690
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 4: a sudden.

691
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 7: They are getting a little healthy. Did you see the

692
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 7: Rams struggle? I mean, I was expecting the usual thirty

693
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 7: five against Baltimore yesterday.

694
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 4: It was about half that. Well I did it didn't

695
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 4: have Ferrocomo, R. Dickerson wasn't there. I mean, I think

696
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 4: missing some guys. Nolan Cromwell, I believe was also basic.

697
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 4: Thank Jackie Slater.

698
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:10,240

699
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 7: games to start a season at least two hundred yards

700
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,479
Speaker 7: passing and a touchdown at every game. He had two

701
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 7: fifty two and a touchdown. Tonight, Bears win in the

702
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 7: rain at Washington twenty five twenty four on a field

703
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 7: goal on the final play. Washington in the weather had

704
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 7: fumbled a handoff with about three minutes left. In fact,

705
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 7: three turnovers for the Commanders and they missed a field

706
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,480

708
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 7: The Bills are four and two right now. The New

00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 7: England Patriots of the first place team in that division.

710
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 7: Falcons led at the half tonight twenty one seven. Bejon

Speaker 7: Robinson nineteen carries one hundred and seventy yards, including an

712
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 7: eighty one yard touchdown. Also six catches sixty eight yards.

713
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 7: The Tennessee Titans fired coach Brian Callahan. Lions safety Brian

714
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 7: Branch was suspended one game for his postgame fight at

715
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 7: Kansas City last night. He has appealed. The six game

716
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 7: suspension of Chiefs wide receiver Rashi Rice officially ended what

717
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 7: an opener to the National League Championship Series. The Dodgers

718
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 7: won at top seeded Milwaukee two to one, a Milwaukee

719
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 7: team that had gone six to zero against LA back

720
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 7: in July in their two series. Freddie Freeman a solo

721
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 7: homer top of the sixth. In the top of the ninth,

722
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 7: Mookie Betts with a key insurance RBI on a basis

723
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,400

724
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 7: the ninth off Roki Sasaki the save to LA's Blake Trinon,

725
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 7: who got a strikeout with bases loaded to end the game.

726
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 7: The Dodgers have actually won twenty one of their last

727
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 7: twenty seven games, and the winning pitcher tonight was phenomenal.

728
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 7: Blake's Now eight innings, one hit, allowed, ten strikeouts and

729
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 7: no walks. He threw one hundred and three pitches. This

730
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 7: is how phenomenal his postseason has been. You kind of

731
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 7: referenced this earlier Roger Clemens, for example, in his playoff career,

732
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 7: how many games with at least nine strikeouts and only

733
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 7: two hits less allowed? He had two of those. Max

734
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 7: Schuers are three in his postseason career. This is already

735
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 7: five times for Blake Snow with at least nine strikeouts

736
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 7: and two hits or less. In the start Game two

737

Speaker 7: of the series in Milwaukee on Tuesday night, Seattle's up

738

Speaker 7: at top seed Toronto ten to three Julio Rodriguez with

740
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 7: a three run homer in the top of the first.

741
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 7: By the way, Toronto shortstop Bobaschet is still out this

Speaker 1: in twelve minutes, but big stories out of football today,

769
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: not just Monday Night football. Bill Belichick has decided he

770
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: has had enough of people firing him every single day. Well,

771
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, reports last week that Belichick was discussing

772
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: a buyout.

773
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 4: It could happen any any.

774
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: Day now, but Belichick wants people to know, Hey not

775
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: so I am here until the bitter end. This is

776
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick from earlier today before we tell you that exactly.

777
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: You know, what Bill Belichick said is ridiculous because look,

778
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: nothing has changed from last week to now. I said

779
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: last week. Okay, Yeah, there's difference of a pinion, you know,

780
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: with this, with this take that's out there that Belichick

781
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: is talking right now. But the reality is sometime between

782
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: now and the day after the end of the regular season,

783
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: Belichick's going to be let go, right And it may

784
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: it may not be this week, may not be next

785
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: week maybe, but sometime between now and the day after

786
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,439
Speaker 1: the regular season, Belichick's going to be fired.

787
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, potential.

788
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: There'll be a mutual. Hey it didn't work. We did

789
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: the best we could. You know, I I am here.

790
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: Nothing has changed, and I'll tell you why. Very one

791
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: big thing. But first we're gonna hear Bill Belichick today

792
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,760
Speaker 1: be very defiant about his future with the tar heels.

793
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 7: I'll just start with, you know, right up about like

794
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 7: just the some of the repoards out last week about

795
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 7: I'm looking for Biou and Trump.

796
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 2: Here and all the categoric basses zero chiot.

797
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: Okay, look again, with that report a couple of weeks ago.

798
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: Now it has been a few days and Belichick has

799
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: felt him bolden enough to say didn't happen now. It

800
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 1: wasn't in bold enough to say it when it happened

801
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,280
Speaker 1: a week and a half ago, but now he feels

802
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: it's the way to say it.

803
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:33,879
Speaker 4: Now.

804
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 1: Maybe they've decided, and I wouldn't be surprised if they've

805
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: decided that, Hey, this will still happen, but not now.

806
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: Let's go through the rest of the season. Let's see

807
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,919
Speaker 1: what happens. To Belichick hoping I can win five seven

808
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: games in a row and things will change. So i'dn't

809
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: be surprised if there is some sort of decision. But

810
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: Belichick says this now, just to tamp it down. But

811
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,919
Speaker 1: the reason why this is gonna happen, Okay, it's gonna

812
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: tell you two things. Number One, the worst thing you

813
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: can have for a football program is apathy. And when

814
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 1: fans were leaving at halftime in the game against Clemson,

815
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: you're not getting that back. People were all in Week one,

816
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 1: right in the first quarter. Week one, North Carolina Stars

817
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: the game, everybody excited. In five weeks, fans left at halftime,

818
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 1: streamed out of the stadium because they were getting worked

819
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: by Clemson. Okay, they're not gonna sit here and say, oh,

820
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: all ye, it's like the time with Dion Sanders where

821
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: he had all that big time to be able to

822
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: win people over. Yeah, it's not there. So when your

823
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: program has a lot of apathy, that's gonna be the

824
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: first thing he gets a coach fired. We can't have

825
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: apathy because that means no nil money, no interest. We're

826
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: losing money. We can't have apathy. You gotta be excited

827
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: about the program. And the second part of it is this,

828
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: it's a very simple question. The end of this season.

829
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: The season keeps going like this, Belichick finishes five and seven,

830
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: four and eight, whatever it is, just is North Carolina

831
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: really gonna say, you know what, we want to do

832
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: this again?

833
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 4: They're not.

834
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: North Carolina is not going to finish the end of

835
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: this year at four and eight and go yep. Year

836
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 1: two is going to be even better. It's been so

837
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: rocky and so awkward with Belichick and Jordan Hudson reports

838
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: about Belichick not being able to be reachable, and clearly

839
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,399
Speaker 1: he is not cut out for the college football game.

840
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 1: Keeping scouts away from scouting his players because he's got

841
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: a petty beef with the Patriots is ridiculous. All he's

842
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: doing is stopping his guys from getting in the NFL.

843
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: He's not made out for college football. At the end,

844
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,919
Speaker 1: North Carolina is not going to say, yes, we want

845
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: another year of this. That's why he's gonna be.

846
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 3: I think there's this the curiosity of all right, this

847
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 3: was obviously a huge change. What is it, seventy plus

848
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 3: players that are new to the program. Okay, there's got

849
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:41,280
Speaker 3: to be growing pains, new rules, new playbooks, new coaching staff,

850
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 3: all of that stuff to where with the schedule you

851
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 3: still thought the run up, while it might be ugly

852
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 3: at times, that you'd see progress, that you'd see growth,

853
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 3: that you'd get people enamored.

854
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 4: Right.

855
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 3: We played the clip or paraphrase that at one point

856
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 3: with that student that was found, I was like, yeah,

857
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 3: I was there for part of it. It was worse

858
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 3: than me failing some of my midterms. That was that

859
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 3: was that was a female student dead panty when asked

860
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 3: about the state of North Carolina football. The curiosity, though,

861
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,280
Speaker 3: also is that you had the chancellor there, Lee Roberts,

862
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 3: also known as Valorum.

863
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 4: I vote no confidence in Chancellor Valauria.

864
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 3: It's it whenever we can get the Star Wars universe

865
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 3: and we do uh that in in the middle of

866
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 3: the week, that you've got to have someone standing there

867
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 3: in the suit and hands folded, you know, giving.

868
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 4: The nod of approval.

869
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 3: As Bill Belichick defiantly says, I'm not bleeping leaving kind

870
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 3: of a curiosity and you know, to to use that

871
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 3: term again, uh that that makes you scratch your head.

872
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 3: I don't know that it necessarily ends after one year.

873
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 3: I would see. I think we could see a sequel,

874
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:52,879
Speaker 3: but a lot of it's gonna depend on all right,

875
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 3: of these recruits leaving, are they staying? Does he become

876
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 3: more friendly and I know he's gonna have his slap

877
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 3: fights with the Patriots, that's still gonna be there.

878
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 4: There's thirty one other teams. You need to kiss their ass.

879
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, but still, but why are you why are you

880
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 1: making all you're doing is mate, you're I'm not saying

881
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: you're good. These players more than you are the war

882
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:11,720
Speaker 1: that you're not fighting anymore.

883
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 3: But that's where Valorum's got to step in and be like,

884
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 3: that's that's done, man, that's your past.

885
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 4: We got to look to the future.

886
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: Ask it out about a Fresco Riley, Ronald Hi, mister

887
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,240
Speaker 1: Roberts et cart think about the future. Coming up next,

888
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: all the drama from the day in baseball Fox
