20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 1: like insight, Insight, insight more than you want. Great stuff

21
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: on Josh Allen and the Bills and Tua. We'll get

22
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: back into that game coming up in a couple of minutes,

23
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: but just really quick before you get into the Clayton Kershaw.

24
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: You know, you could tell Jay is really vociferous. Hates

25
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: the fact that the you know, the people that don't

26
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: like the Toush push and want the Toush push to stay.

27
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: I think it should stay. I love the Toush push.

28
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: I think it's a play that. Okay, the Eagles have

29
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: figured out a way to do so it's great. You

30
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: want innovation, like you want teams to be able to say, hey,

31
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: I'm innovating a way to do things right. The Patriots

32
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: at the forefront of that for a long time and.

33
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: Figure out dog that dog eared rule book that malegihead

34
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: to the point where I think this formation is legal,

35
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: but you know what, we don't like it. Yeah. Against

36
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: the Ravens when they were managing no, no, this is by

37
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: the book, this is okay.

38
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: For the penalties, he was able to say, I'll take

39
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: the five yard penalty on this punt and that's gonna

40
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: better for us.

41
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: Right.

42
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: Certain things he would do, you know, math and there

43
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: was stuff with the play clock that Belichicks would do

44
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: to and you know what, but once it got to

45
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: a point where hey, this is not quite super legal,

46
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: that's when all those things went away. And that's why

47
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: I say the biggest thing, the best thing that the

48
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: the haters do is say, hey, we're now bringing up

49
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: that and Dean Blandino, Dean Blandino's gonna be the guy

50
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: that gets his play band right because he's the one

51
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: that was the loudest on Sunday, you know, former director officiating.

52
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: He's everywhere, Hey, this play is really hard to officiate.

53
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm done with it. WHOA Okay? Now that that's the

54
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: narrative like it's it's got a shelf life on it

55
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: of this season and that's it like that. That's why

56
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: that's why I brought up at the end of our

57
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,399
Speaker 1: conversation with Jay, the question of if it does get

58
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: officiated quote properly right. Again, it's difficult for the officials,

59
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,399
Speaker 1: but say they do call those false starts that everybody

60
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: was quick to get the overhead and say, there it is.

61
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: See those guys move that guy the right tackle. He

62
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: was a if those are now penalties and we see

63
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: maybe every other every third time they try to run it,

64
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 2: they've run it eight times. Ready they get penalized the

65
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 2: five yards for a false start. Does it fix itself

66
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: to where it's all right? Now? The math is much

67
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: different than hey, we're getting at a ninety seven percent clip.

68
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 2: So maybe you fix the glitch that way and you

69
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: actually don't have to put a rule in Ellen.

70
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: Just think about if you're the owners they have to

71
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: vote on this thing in the offseason, is they're gonna say,

72
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna vote on this again. You know what, Fine,

73
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm done. I'm done. I'm done like Dean Bland Doudo,

74
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: I'm done with the touch person. There's gonna be that

75
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: fatigue as well that this continues to be a story

76
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: and owners are.

77
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: Gonna say, Okay, we're done. Okay, you're And it could

78
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: be just as simple as okay they have a tough

79
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 2: time officiating it.

80
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: I'm done, like I've already made my decision. No matter

81
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: what happens the rest of the year, this is it.

82
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: In the NFL is saying they're gonna officiate it tighter

83
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: on Sunday. That was a big story tonight. They told

84
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: the officials, hey, when you do this game that hockey ly,

85
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: you know, make sure that this is what happens. I mean,

86
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: you know, you know it's done, Like how many, how

87
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: many plays? How many iterations of it?

88
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: Do you think Sean McVay sent to the league office

89
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: to point out false starts, misalignments, Igali, I.

90
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: Would love for the first play and we'll talk Eagles

91
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: Rams tomorrow night, one of the biggest games of the week.

92
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: I would love first play at Eagles Rams. They run

93
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: the toush push first intent. We're gonna run it just

94
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: because we can.

95
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 2: Now if they run it back and they win at

96
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 2: Levi Stadium, they win another Super Bowl, but then it

97
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 2: gets banned. Yeah, do they build a statue to the

98
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: tush point? No? No, no, no no.

99
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: Then there's an asterisk because they used a rule that

100
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: has since been banned to win the Super Bowl. And

101
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: then you walk up and you press a button and

102
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: it plays something from Sir Mix a Lot. I like

103
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: big Butts and I cat What else from Sir Mix

104
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: a Lot is it's a lot of songs about ass

105
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: you say something, Really, can you name one other song

106
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: other than Baby.

107
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 2: Got Back Put Them on the Glass. That's a real song.

108
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 2: You sure just make that up? You just made that up?

109
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 2: Actually showed up in a playlist because I'm riding around

110
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 2: with my daughters. What's the name of the song? Put

111
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 2: them on the Glass.

112
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: I like big Glass and I cannot lie you win

113
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: next people can't deny.

114
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: I mean, glass does rhyme with ass, but I mean

115
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: this one is a little more about the other end.

116
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 2: So we got more football coming up in a few minutes.

117
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: We will get to the Bills and the Dolphins big

118
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: takeaways from Thursday Night football. But today we saw the

119
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: announced retirement of Clayton Kershaw, Dodger superstar who said, this

120
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: is it for me, retiring at the end of the year.

121
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: And two big things to get into in the next

122
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: couple of minutes as we hear what he had to

123
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: say in his press conference today. Number one is, oh, man,

124
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,559
Speaker 1: I don't know when the moment's gonna be, but there's

125
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: gonna be a moment between now and the game tomorrow

126
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: because tomorrow is Kershaw's last home start of his career,

127
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: like in theory, because they do have the playoffs, and

128
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure Kershaw will pitch in the playoffs somewhere. Sure, right,

129
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: you have a good enough season to be on the

130
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,559
Speaker 1: postseason roster. Healthy, Yet he's gonna pitch at some point.

131
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: But you're looking at the game tomorrow, being his last

132
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: home start, you would think he's gonna pitch one more time.

133
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: But maybe they say, you know what, we're gonna keep

134
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: your fresh here last game Dodger Stadium. We're gonna keep

135
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: your fresh for the playoffs. And that's it. Like that's

136
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: all we're gonna wed tomorrow might be it.

137
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: Would the other one would be uh, on the road

138
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: at Seattle, maybe yeah, him against the cal Raley.

139
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: But uh, at some point between now and the game

140
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: time tomorrow, fans across the country are gonna sit back

141
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: and realize, Wait, this game's only on Apple TV. I

142
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: can't I can only get the game on Apple TV.

143
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: I don't have it. I don't want to spend that money.

144
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 2: What the hell is going on? It's Apple TV? Come on, man,

145
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 2: what is Apple TV? Who is Apple Tree? What is

146
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: Apple TV? Can you explain that to me? According to

147
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: a quick review, uh, it claims there's over forty five

148
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 2: million paid subscribers. It's a lot, a lot more people

149
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: than I would have thought.

150
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, when what will you think of like ESPN

151
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: and f S one or like ninety ninety five?

152
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 2: No, no, but forty five millions. Still, I wouldn't have

153
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 2: thought it was that. I so good for them. Wo man,

154
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: But I mean you can get ted Lasso Severance, and

155
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: I just want to see Kirkshaw's Last Start. Severance is

Speaker 1: it as you will. Can be walking my dog.

255
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 2: You decide I'm a pain in the neck that day.

256
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, when you think about Clayton Kershaw's career,

257
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: there's so many things that come to mind, right, and

258
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: we'll get to the playoff part of it coming up

259
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: later on this hour. But everything he's accomplished as great

260
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: as he has been, getting best left handed pitcher that

261
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: I've ever seen, better than Randy Johnson, better than Tom Glavin,

262
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: best left handed pitch I've ever seen. When you say

263
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw to me, the image that I will always

264
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: have the first optic in my head is this, And

265
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: this shows you. This tells you why he was so great.

266
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: Is the first pitch of an at bat. His ability

267
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: to throw his curve or his curve with a slider

268
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: grip or a slider with that, you know, he's always

269
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: kind of cagy about here's how I hold this.

270
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 2: It's kind of my slider. It's kind of my curve.

271
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: But being able to throw that pitch over the plate

272
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: for a strike on the black where the hitter just

273
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 1: can't get to it but it breaks so late right

274
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: on the black, or hey, i'll give you one on

275
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: the middle of the plate because I know you're not

276
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: going to be able to hit it. That's such an

277
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: unbelievable advantage for Kershaw to have, not only look starting

278
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 1: off at oh to one, but not throwing a fastball

279
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: for that first pitch, which a lot of pitchers do.

280
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: I try to throw something a little bit harder, a

281
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: little bit off the plate, or sometimes when we know

282
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: we're in a time in baseball history where everybody's taking

283
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: the first pitch, I'm not able to throw it right

284
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: down the middle, but Kershaw being able to throw that

285
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: and having it break over the plate where the hitter

286
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: has no chance to hit that right has no chance

287
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: to hit it, and you start ohen one and the

288
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: hitter is saying, Okay, what am I waiting for now?

289
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: Because it's not like Kershaw through ninety eight, ninety ninety

290
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: through mid nineties, right, which was still really really good,

291
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: but look, left handed pitchers don't generally throw that hard.

292
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: Randy Johnson was the was the exception of that. You,

293
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 1: but being able to have that kind of control over

294
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: those pitches, like, I can't tell you what kind of

295
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: advantage that is, And it's just amazing that I would

296
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: see it and go just snap it right off every

297
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 1: single time and here and it's not like a like

298
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: like a hitter would be able to hit it and do.

299
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 2: Damage with it.

300
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: Like if a hitter said, okay, if I'm getting that

301
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: curve or that slider, that slider with the curve with

302
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: a with a slider grip or whatever it was. If

303
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm getting that, I'm gonna swing at that first pitch,

304
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do?

305
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 2: You're gonna hit something weak to the right side.

306
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: You need to get into the at bat and hope

307
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: that Kershaw misses on a location because those pitches are

308
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: impossible to hit, and that advantage was so huge for

309
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: him starting out so c and if he's behind in

310
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: the count, I'm gonna throw that pitch for a strike,

311
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: be able to throw your curve for a strike that's unhittable,

312
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: that doesn't rush to that pitch right and it doesn't hang.

313
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: It's a twelve to six, it doesn't hang. It's not

314
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: gonna be something where uh oh that it's gonna mistake

315
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: is gonna be in the seats, throwing that pitch, first pitch,

316
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: wherever in the at bat.

317
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: But just my image of him is.

318
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: Okay, Kershaw, here's Alonso, there's a curve strike one like great,

319
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: here we are, and now the success rate for Kershaw

320
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: his way up. And now suddenly Alonzo goes from when

321
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: it's one and oh, he's hitting three twenty two. When

322
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: it's oh to one, he's hitting two oh seven, which

323
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: is what every hitter does. Right whenever, Just like the

324
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: the Jonah Hill line from Moneyball, every pitch is like

325
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: a hand of blackjack, your odds changed. And Kershaw always

326
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: being able to throw a strike on that pitch and

327
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: an unhittable strike is just mind blowing him that that's

328
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: always gonna be the image and the option. You say

329
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw's name, it's him snapping that off for strike one.

330
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, the curveball, certainly first part I joke about the

331
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: red ass, but that like, that's always it. So when

332
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: you get the glimpses of the back and forth, and

333
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 2: it would have been blested out here in La five

334
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 2: seventy l LA Sports being our home here in Los

335
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 2: Angeles for Fox Sports Radio and our connection to the Dodgers,

336
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 2: you know, when you do get him with vasse a

337
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 2: or with the guys on air and joking a little bit,

338
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: it breaks that that fourth wall for a minute, because

339
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: otherwise it's all right, this guy's going to work right.

340
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: It's like the guys I always loved with the White Sox,

341
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: where the guys like Mark Burley, I'm getting the ball

342
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 2: and I'm going back to work right. And that's Clayton

343
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 2: Kershaw to a t through his eighteen years that we've

344
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 2: watched him evolve to this final season and what he

345
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: is as a clubhouse leader and everything else. But yeah,

346
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 2: the curveball is the first and lasting, indelible image to

347
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 2: all of it. Snapping that off and then giving the

348
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 2: rye smile like all right, I got you, now let's play,

349
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 2: and watching the catcher go along for the ride, and

350
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 2: then staring down Dave Roberts keeping him in the dugout,

351
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 2: or watching Dave Roberts sheepishly have to send someone down

352
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 2: to ask Clayton if he wants to go back for

353
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: another inning. All of those little thing glimpses that we've

354
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 2: gotten through the years. But yeah, it's the evolution of this.

355
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 2: And look crafty, Southpaw. I was a junk baller once

356
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 2: upon a time, so respecting the craft when you don't

357
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: always have an overwhelming pitch like we talk about with

358
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: Johnson coming in at ninety eight miles an hour tour,

359
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 2: even in an All Star game, you got guys joking around,

360
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 2: changing their helmet, changing their stand. It's John Cruck and

361
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 2: he one of the great back and forth ever. But

362
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 2: you know that intimidation factor, it was no you just

363
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 2: have to try to outwork him. Then most of the

364
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 2: time you came.

365
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: Up short exit out about a Fresco exit swollen down

Speaker 2: Remember when he was fun? Remember when Balmer said I

398
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 2: was I was duped? And Pablo Torri keeps coming out with, hey,

399
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 2: I got paperwork right here that says you got all

400
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 2: new about it. Here's another thirty million you got duped

401
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 2: out of. I think it's up to like one hundred

402
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 2: and eighteen million or something like that. The last number

403
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 2: Pamlo Tory finds out about everything. How many more pages

404
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 2: does he have? Does he have a little mountain of paperwork?

405
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: I know, man, I just hope he's got enough work

406
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: here to stay away from Jalen Brunson in the Knicks. Okay,

407
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: just let's stay stay away man. That's going to turn

408
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: out to be the biggest mistake. And now just trying

409
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: to see this out here, the whole Kawhi Leonard getting

410
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: all kinds of money so the Clippers can circumvent the

411
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: salary cap. When when Steve Balmer went on Sports Center,

412
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: like the day after this broke and said, Hey, I

413
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: was duped.

414
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 2: I was duped.

415
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: I'm just a businessman worth all kinds of billions of

416
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: dollars to make big time smart decisions. But I got

417
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,479
Speaker 1: duped by a guy. Now it doesn't mean you can't

418
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: make a bad decision. And trust somebody, say, how did

419
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: you not get b roll of him? Just planting one

420
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: damn tree?

421
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 2: One tree? That's all you needed to do. Kawhi, We're

422
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 2: putting a shovel in your hand for four minutes. This

423
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 2: this guy's gonna film it. It will live forever.

424
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: And here's what you gonna bring a couple of different

425
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: shirts so it looks like you're doing.

426
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 2: That's it's all you. That's all you gotta do. A

427
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 2: couple of polos. Here's an extra pair of kicks.

428
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,959
Speaker 1: Let's go bring five shirts for twenty eight million dollars.

429
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 2: Hey, I can do that, but tell you what, we'll

430
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: supply the shirt.

431
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: I mean seeing the interview and seeing the information that

432
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: Pablo Tory had today about how hey, here's the money

433
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: that went through and here's the letter from the Clippers

434
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: acknowledging the money. Like that's gonna wind up being the

435
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: worst thing. Balmer saying I was duped. Like that's like,

436
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: that's the most about I was duped.

437
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 2: I didn't know.

438
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about this. But here's all these

439
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: signed documents, here's all this stuff come about.

440
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I was duped. You know what

441
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 2: people can do with docu signed these days. I was duped.

442
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: So there's a hot take we've talked built that there's

443
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: a lot of toilets there, you know, flush them all

444
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: at once. There's a hot take we've talked about tonight

445
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: that I said is ridiculous. Now gonna take it to

446
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: the next level. Okay, here we go, So.

447
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 2: We'll get to two in a couple of minutes. That

448
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 2: was my best back draft. That was good. I like that.

449
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 2: That was good. That was good. Did the fire look

450
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 2: at you.

451
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: It looked at you, didn't it It looked at you.

452
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 2: Were you the one on top of the fire engine

453
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 2: with Jennifer Jason Lee?

454
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: Was not?

455
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 2: Was that you? Was that the other Baldwin guy? Was?

456
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 2: Was that a prequel to him becoming presidents? No? Eight?

457
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: So the Fever win their first round of the playoffs tonight,

458
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: right the Lever, They eliminate the dream. Of course, we

459
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: know they're playing without a lot of their stars, including

460
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark, who is the WNBA and I told you

461
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna get the hot takers coming up. People are

462
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: fighting with themselves right now to be the first ones

463
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: in the next few hours to say the Fever are

464
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: better without Caitlin Clark. Okay, the Fever are better without

465
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark, right, which is ridiculous. She's a top five

466
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: player in the game. Nobody is better off without a

467
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: top five player. You wouldn't say that about anybody else

468
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: in the NBA. If the Bucks start winning, you wouldn't

469
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: say they're better off without Giannis if he was out,

470
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: you wouldn't do that, right. You wouldn't say, oh, the

471
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: Sixers are better without him beat Oh wait wait, bad,

472
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: bad point. You wouldn't say the Warriors are better without

473
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: Steph Curry, Right, you wouldn't say that. But because people

474
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: still want to hate on Kitling Clark, that that that's

475
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a narrative. Now, I'll flip that on its head. Now,

476
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: is that is that an absolute truth? They got the

477
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: Aces coming up next, right, and the Aces won what

478
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,239
Speaker 1: eighteen of their last nineteen game? They were a much

479
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: tougher first round that you expected. But uh, you know, clearly,

480
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: Asia Wilson. You know, look, still best player in the WNBA.

481
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: Not gonna win MVP this year, but still is the

482
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: best the best player has been the best player. If

483
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: the Fever win the title, Okay, if the Fever win

484
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 1: the title, that would change the argument because if you

485
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: can win a title without playing with your best player,

486
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: not just hey we had a run for a couple

487
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: of rounds in the playoffs without our best player. We

488
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: found a way to win because it was a short

489
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: amount of time. This is they played the vast majority

490
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: of the season and the entirety of the postseason without.

491
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 2: Caitlyn what thirteen games?

492
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 4: Right?

493
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, if they win the title, I'll tell you that's

494
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: when that hot take becomes legit. Because if you've seen

495
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: teams win championships where a guy gets hurt and a

496
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: team goes on and win time, Right, the Giants won

497
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl with Jeff Hosteller, who is their backup quarterback,

498
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: beause Phil Simms got hurt, but he plays well in

499
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: a couple of games. Right, we watched the Eagles win

500
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Carson Wentz was an MVP candidate, probably

501
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 1: gonna win it, but he gets hurt. Nick Foles plays

502
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: a couple of games in the regular season. Eagles get

503
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: hot in the playoffs. They win the super Bowl. We've

504
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,959
Speaker 1: seen that, but this is the entire season and the

505
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: entirety of the playoffs. They win the title, then that hot,

506
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 1: then that hot take changes, then that can change.

507
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 2: Otysea Sims in the final seven seconds, finding a wide

508
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 2: open a Leah Boston for a layup and then hitting

509
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 2: a free throw to ice at two point win. Ready

510
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 2: fun with odds your favorite the Links minus one forty five,

511
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 2: followed by the Aces You get plus money plus one

512
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 2: seventy nine okay, followed by the Liberty, Liberty, Liberty, and

513
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 2: the Phoenix, both at fourteen to one. Okay, You're Indiana Fever.

514
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 2: Yeah plus seventy five hundred. Let's bleep and go one

515
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 2: of my odds.

516
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark changes her mind and comes back at some

517
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: point in the play.

518
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 5: Oh, I know it's I'm ready.

519
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,360
Speaker 2: No, I feel pretty good. I feel really I don't

520
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 2: think I have those, but we'll ask. I might go

521
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 2: for it.

522
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: It's like in a meaning of life, bring out your dead.

523
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 1: I might go for a walk today. No, you're dead.

524
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 2: You're dead. Not feeling better? No, no, no, you's only

525
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 2: a flesh wound. No, you're dead.

526
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 1: Yeah. So again that's where that hot take change. I

527
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: love that a little bit.

528
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 2: But even after tonight, folks getting a little get ready,

529
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 2: get ready? Okay, you want two out of three?

530
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: Okay, you remember you won two out of three, two

531
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 1: out of three and head No, I didn't TJ.

532
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 2: Clearly, as meat Loaf told us back in nineteen seventy seven,

533
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 2: Paradise is by the dashboard life fantastic fantasy baseball player,

534
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 2: by the way, was meat Loaf? Uh?

535
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: You mean owner fantasy bait? Like you owned a team?

536
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,239
Speaker 1: And oh you said fantasy bait. I'm like I never had.

537
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: I never had meat Loaf in any of my fantasy

538
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: I never drafted Meatloaf.

539
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 2: He was. It was a fantastic addition to every rock

540
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 2: and jockey ever participated him. Who's your first pick? I

541
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 2: was gonna take Bryce Harper, but I'm taking meat Loaf instead.

542
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 2: With my second pick, I'm taking Rick Darringer, Hey Blake Meetloaf.

543
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 2: I'm taking Jim Steinman with my second pick. What he

544
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 2: does without the right or brains by uh No.

545
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: First Thursday Night football goes to the Buffalo Bills, and

546
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins, I give them credit because this game

547
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: was way closer than.

548
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: It should I said last night.

549
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: If they win this game, it's the biggest upset of

550
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: the twenty twenties. As bad as the Dolphins have started

551
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: this season, they're the number. They're team number thirty two

552
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL for a reason because other teams are

553
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: bad like they are. But these other teams have all

554
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: cleared the decks and are starting over now, and they're saying, Okay,

555
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: this is our settling year. We get back at it

556
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: next year, right. Teams like the Jets and the Browns

557
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: they said, listen, we've we've done the clean out. We're

558
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: starting over. Seeing a bit of that hard reset. Absolutely,

559
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: the Dolphins still have that hard reset ahead of them

560
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 1: after this year, and then next year will be their

561
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 1: year one of the reset. So that's why they're team

562
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: number thirty two. And yeah, it's easy to say Mike

563
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,719
Speaker 1: McDaniel's going to be gone because he is Tyreek Kill

564
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: will get traded because he is. But you're seeing this

565
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: to be the last year in Miami for two a

566
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 1: tongue of Vailoa. And it's not just because of the

567
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 1: interception tonight, which was an awful throw and it's something

568
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: that honestly, he's got to know better for because he

569
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 1: throws this pick. Look, they're down by a touchdown, they're

570
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: driving late, and you mentioned it earlier in the show.

571
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: He's going back and he's trying to throw a pass

572
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 1: over the middle. He does not have the arm to

573
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: do that. He barely has the arm to go downfield.

574
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 1: Other quarterbacks have the arm. I really wish. I can't

575
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 1: remember who the quarterback we saw was on a Monday

576
00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: or Thursday game in the last couple of weeks where

577
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: going backwards they were still able to zing that ball

578
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 1: into the flat and hit the running back in stride

579
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: for a fifteen yard game, right, And you have to

580
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: have the arm to do something like that, Tua backing up,

581
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: throwing the ball over the middle of the field gets

582
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: picked off by Bernard, and you know, Bernard just just

583
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: baited him into it, thinking that, Okay, he doesn't see me,

584
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: doesn't see it.

585
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 2: You can't do that if you're toa because you don't

586
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 2: have the arm for it. Now, Miami's been able to

587
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 2: game plan around it and at times figure out the

588
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 2: best of Tua, but as we've said, Tua's never really

589
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 2: gotten the hug of being the clear cut franchise guy,

590
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 2: even though he has the big contract. And if you're

591
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 2: moving on after this year again, new head coach, new

592
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 2: offensive philosophy, because Mike mc daniel kimin saying we're gonna

593
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 2: do this, this, this, We're gonna be fast, We'll be

594
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 2: the fastest team in the NFL.

595
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: Whoever comes and new is gonna say, I want my

596
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: new guy, I want my own guy. And so and

597
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: the fact that Tua is really he's been diminishing the

598
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: last couple of years because the offense isn't nearly what

599
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: it was a couple of years. Like eighteen months ago,

600
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: this offense was taken the NFL by storm, and it

601
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: was a new way, we're gonna be faster than everybody

602
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: and the way to a processes the field. He's gonna

603
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: be able to really excel in this. They're not dynamic anymore.

604
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 2: To it.

605
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: Threw for one hundred and thirty yards tonight. They don't

606
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: even run Devon ah Chan doesn't run for one hundred

607
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: and twenty yards like he did two years ago. This

608
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 1: is it's not the same offense. And Tua's become kind

609
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: of just a guy. And so it's not gonna be

610
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: the case where they where they release him here because

611
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: the dead cat money is too bad. He still owed

612
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: a lot of money for next year and if you

613
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: want to keep him because he's got the out after

614
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. But some team is gonna say, hey,

615
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: we can do a lot worse than to it. We've

616
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: seen him flash right in the league where they make

617
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: starters in the right systems out of Gino Smith and

618
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold Baker, Mayfield is now an elite quarterback. He

619
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: just had to find the right system. There's gonna be

620
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: some some mad scientists head coaches that say, yeah, I

621
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: can make two into a star again. Sean McVay might

622
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: be a guy that says something like that, if JJ

623
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: McCarthy's terrible, Kevin O'Connell might say something like that, Right,

624
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: we've seen Tua have better years than some of those

625
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: guys I just mentioned. So yeah, there's gonna be teams

626
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: out there for him. You can always figure out the money. Again,

627
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: it's not a long term thing with Tua. With the

628
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: money that he's due, you can figure that out. It's

629
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: not gonna be worth a lot draft pick wise, compensation wise,

630
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Miami needs to start over. And if

631
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: you're drafting at the top, you're drafting Garrett Nussmeyer, you're

632
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: drafting Arch Manning, you're doing something at the top of

633
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: that draft, you're drafting Lenora's Sellers, whoever it is. You're

634
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: drafting someone that high you're going to trade to because

635
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna need that fresh start. And again, good news

636
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: for the guy is there will be teams out there

637
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: saying we're okay with it, and as long as we're

638
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: figure out the money, which you can, because you know, look,

639
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson had a lot of money.

640
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 2: He's untradeable. He got traded.

641
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers do a lot of money untradably. He got traded.

642
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,239
Speaker 1: The money is there to fix, to fix, and it's

643
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: gonna be. It's gonna be the Dolphins deciding we're just

644
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: gonna move on for a fresh start. We're not worried

645
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: about the compensation. We tried to make it work, it

646
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: didn't to it gets a fresh start. We love the guy,

647
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: and his injury history is something that we're still gonna

648
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: be a little nervous about as well. There will be

649
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: that that market forum because you're not into tour for

650
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: more than a year or so, and maybe you turn

651
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: him into something and.

652
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 2: If not, well, we didn't give up a lot for him.

653
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: We figured out the money and we'll start over with

654
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: with a quarterback the year after that. So yeah, he's

655
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: going to be tradeable. There's gonna be teams that want him.

656
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: And honestly, if you're the Dolphins, you kind of have

657
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: to because when you think, when you think about the

658
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: landscape of a new coach and knew everything that's gonna

659
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: be coming in, it's okay, we're gonna try to make it.

660
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to make it work with a guy

661
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: that has real flaws. His arm strength is not great.

662
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know that he's dynamic anymore. We're

663
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: gonna make it work with him just for a season,

664
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: just being a guy. Okay, We're we're you're we're setting

665
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: back our reset because you're setting back your reset for

666
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: a year because your new coach is gonna want to

667
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: come in and say, Okay, next year is our year

668
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: to reset, and then we're taking off. If you give

669
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: him to it next year, it's gonna be okay, well

670
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: we kind of come in, We're gonna take a year

671
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: to reset with to it. Then our resets you then

672
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: you're talking about you reset being three years away.

673
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 2: No one's gonna do.

674
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: That's why the Jets decided, hey, Aaron Rodgers were moving

675
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: on because if this doesn't work with Justin Fields, we'll

676
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: get a quarterback after the draft this year. But if

677
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: we move on from Aaron Rodgers, if we keep them

678
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: for another year, then we're moving on. Then we're getting

679
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: a bridge guy, and then we're getting No, we're not

680
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: going to postpone the future.

681
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 2: So you see all that, you understand two was going

682
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 2: to be gone after the season. Yeah, I'll be curious

683
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 2: as we flow into the season. Obviously, the difficult start

684
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 2: and they've been they've fought pretty well after giving up

685
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 2: an early lead to New England. They battled at least

686
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 2: and then you have this game tonight and get a

687
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 2: big kickoff return, take the opening drive. All of that

688
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 2: fine and good. You know what's funny is a lot

689
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 2: of the talk that we've had and one of the

690
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 2: great threads through the offseason and in the regular season

691
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 2: is my train wreck of a situation to most as

692
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 2: related to the Bears. Two of fits a lot of

693
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 2: what you bet Johnson and coaches of his ilk K

694
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 2: want right, play on time, deliver the ball and go.

695
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 2: But the armstrong obviously, the one thing that's the caveat,

696
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 2: and that's the thing with McDaniel is that you had

697
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 2: those advantages. Now. Is Tyreek Hill still fast? Yeah? Is

698
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 2: he's still as fast as he was two years ago.

699
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 2: I don't know. I haven't clocked him running forties and

700
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 2: deep balls a lot, but certainly that timing has been

701
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 2: taken away. Right, You've got to have that next pitch.

702
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 2: We're talking about kershaw and developing and refining and becoming

703
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 2: more of a pitcher as you get older, as guys do,

704
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 2: versus being all right, it can be a good thrower

705
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 2: and occasionally hit the spot. No, you've got to be better.

706
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 2: Likewise as a quarterback, you've got to be able to

707
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 2: do it. The moon balls and everything are fine, but

708
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 2: for to a tongue of aloa, you know, driving the

709
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 2: ball into a spot right, the interception that he throws,

710
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 2: if he can put that on a rope, it's a

711
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 2: completion and we get to see what the end of

712
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 2: that drive is. Instead it's thrown to an area to

713
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 2: go run under it. Well, defender's going to have a

714
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 2: break on it and make a play, and so those

715
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 2: timing issues are going to be off. So a chan

716
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill pending his off field stuff and everything else.

717
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 2: Like these guys will all be gone and traded for

718
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 2: assets for next year's draft. And that becomes the question

719
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 2: with two, are you rebuilding with him? I'm gonna guess not.

720
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 2: To your point, find that partner that thinks they can

721
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 2: fix him, the quarterback whisper as it were McVeigh or whomever,

722
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 2: and you move on from there.

723
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: Exit out a bout a fresca, exit swollen down the

724
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: Jason Smith Show with my best.

725
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 2: Friend Mike Carmon. I mean, in the right set.

726
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: Look, there's always a right system for someone there's always

727
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: and that's why I'm kind of bullish on his next

728
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: start somewhere as long as he can stay healthy, because

729
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: a team that's gonna trade from is not just hey,

730
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: we need a quarterback, let's go get him. It's gonna

731
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: be hey, he would really work in our system because

732
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: we can do X Y, and it's got to be

733
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: a team with a strong head coach like a Sean McVay,

734
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: because you know what, they want to move on from

735
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. They're likely gonna move on from him after

736
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: this year because of all the every year, I don't

737
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: know if I'm gonna play, it's more money. Now he's injured,

738
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: and they want to get get out from him a

739
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: year or two early rather than the y or too late.

740
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: But it's gonna but there will be a biggest, established

741
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: coach that you know, maybe one of the young the

742
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,959
Speaker 1: young guns in the League's that not I know what

743
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: to do with him and we can make it work.

744
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 2: But that's the curiosity, right. How many teams are long

745
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 2: form to where you have that level of stability. It's

746
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 2: a handful. You have the offensive line that's going to

747
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 2: keep him up right when he plays right. We know

748
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 2: the accuracy is there, Like, that's what it is. It's

749
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 2: about timing, It's about accuracy. Is completion rate usually one

750
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 2: of the tops in the league. Problem is, we've only

751
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 2: got one game with a proof of concept beyond thirteen

752
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 2: games played.

753
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: Exit ut about a Fresco exit swollen dome. Jason Smith,

Speaker 2: Yeah, we get a little bit more from the NFL.

756
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 2: But a hot take on Clayton Kershaw's retirement. That isn't

757
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 2: gonna go the way you think. Now give me that again.

758
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 2: That's next Fox. It's ten years too late. Wow.

Speaker 1: We'll got that big hot take from Clayton on Clayton

763
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: Kershaw coming up in a second but story. Today, Ian

764
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: Rappaport NFL Network talked about this and some other sources

765
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: that maybe Kirk Cousins is done, that there's not a

766
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: lot of interest in other teams training for.

767
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 2: Him, and maybe he's not gonna be a starting quarterback

768
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 2: ever again in the NFL. Now, is it because of

769
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 2: his contract?

770
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 1: Clearly some of it is because of his contract. But

771
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: the talent level wise, you don't know, because clearly with

772
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: some teams having injuries, you would think they would have

773
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: at least had exploratory calls with the Falcons going, hey,

774
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 1: we're not here quite yet, but what would you think?

775
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: What would you do for for Kirk Cousins? And no

776
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,280
Speaker 1: one's called the Falcons yet, And you know, I gotta

777
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: think at this point, unless Cousin says, listen, tear up

778
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: my contract, I'll do something new, he's just gonna sit

779
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: there and collect whatever he can from the Falcons until

780
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: they release him or buy him out, and that's gonna

781
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 1: be it.

782
00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 2: Base twenty seven this year twelve five, signing his cap

783
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 2: hit of forty million dollars, So there you have it.

784
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 2: Dead cap money was seventy five million. So all this

785
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 2: off season it became the all right, how much can

786
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 2: you get Arthur Blank and company to off set to

787
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 2: make it happen? Well, nothing transpired, get a couple of

788
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 2: guys hurt, and I'm sure he was salivating until he realized, well,

789
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 2: Brock Purty may be back this week. JJ McCarthy's a

790
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 2: couple of weeks, but you have Carson Wentz. So they've

791
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 2: got it established backup Joe Burrow, but Browning's been there

792
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 2: a couple of years, and you saw he was winging

793
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 2: it around just fine receivers and Chase brown I'll help

794
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 2: bail you out there. So yeah, not gonna be a

795
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:47,959
Speaker 2: lot of interest. You gotta wait for that next round

796
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 2: of injuries, perhaps someone getting really desperate.

797
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: Now to Clayton Kershaw and the retirement announcement, Today's last

798
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 1: start at Dodger Stadium tomorrow night on Apple TV.

799
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 2: Can't wait watch it if you can. I got my

800
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 2: log in, Benny. Evidently you get you get an account

801
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 2: if you buy a new iPhone. Oh okay, get someone

802
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 2: on Twitter. So I've not corroborated that, but that's why

803
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 2: he estimated, which gets us to that forty five million.

804
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,720
Speaker 1: Number instead instead of just spending ten dollars on Apple Plus.

805
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: No I buy a new iPhone for five or six hundred.

806
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 2: If I get my eight hundred dollars phone, they're gonna

807
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 2: give you my ten bucks a month. Aha. All right? Yeah,

808
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 2: see how I screwed them over math this math and

809
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 2: benne So.

810
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: Part of Kershaw's legacy, obviously is his playoff performance, which

811
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: not quite nearly what it was in the regular season.

812
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: But it's unfair to use that and say, ah, Kershaw's overrated.

813
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: Here's why it's unfair, and why a bit of a

814
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: hot take, because you can't really do that in the postseason.

815
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw is a five hundred pitcher. His era is

816
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: about four and a half thirteen and thirteen four forty nine. Yeah,

817
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: it's it's not awful. He's not two and fourteen with

818
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: an ear eight. He's had some big games. He's had

819
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: some games where he didn't pitch well.

820
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 2: Right. I think if he pitched.

821
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: Well and some more winner go home games, maybe it

822
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: would be different, right, just a couple more, it would

823
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: flip his legacy. But he's not been terrible, right, He's

824
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: not potent. It's almost like Payoe peyton manners.

825
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 2: But no.

826
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 1: Peyton Man's record of the playoffs was about five hundred.

827
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: He was pretty He had some bad games, but he

828
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: had great games. He won Super Bowls. The reason I

829
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: say this is because now, Kershaw, you want to go

830
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: eighteen years back to the late two thousands, right, give

831
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: me a guy, Give me any starting pitcher in the

832
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 1: last eighteen to twenty years not named Madison, Bumgardner that

833
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 1: you would say, that's the guy I want on the

834
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: hill for a playoff game.

835
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,240
Speaker 2: I would say this, and we got some great feedback

836
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 2: over the course of the show. Appreciate it at how

837
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 2: about a fresca at Swollen Dome at Fox Sports Radio

838
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 2: that you go down the CV and a couple of

839
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,959
Speaker 2: folks were bringing in guys that were slight overlaps into

840
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 2: the Kershaw era. Remember enters the league in two thousand

841
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 2: and eight. Well, Pedro Martinez doesn't count because he retired

842
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 2: a year later, so we don't want him. Uh. We

843
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 2: talked about Shilling again, that's earlier, right, That's the Andy

844
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 2: just era was earlier. All of that. So you got Bumgarner,

845
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 2: who you mentioned eight and three Bumgarner phenomenal, right, I

846
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 2: can't argue with that. Sixteen appearances, but not nearly the

847
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 2: picture that Kershaw was in the regular sho that's just it.

848
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 2: And just trying to grab a couple of postseason pitchers

849
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 2: justin Verlanders seventeen and twelve, three five eight E R.

850
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 2: Kershaw again, the thirteen thirteen, four four nine, four point

851
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 2: eight one eight strikeouts per walk, all of those things. C. C.

852
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 2: Sabbathia ten and seven four two eight. Yeah, I mean

853
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 2: then and then I got I got one guy that

854
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 2: I would say, okay, let's you can have the discussion.

855
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 2: But again, give me the largest of what Kershaw was

856
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 2: is Garrett Cole eleven and six two seventy seven for

857
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 2: his playoff and forgot to cover first base. Remember that

858
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 2: that that took that e ra in that record and

859
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 2: turns it to he's six and twenty five with the

860
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 2: era of eleven and I never won a damn game

861
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:56,240
Speaker 2: that mattered.

862
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: But my point is is that look at all those

863
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: guys he said, none of them are under beatable, none of.

864
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 2: Them are blowing away the numbers. That it's a bygone

865
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 2: era of the stud pitcher. You have pitching game one,

866
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 2: game four, Game seven is gonna go seven innings and

867
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 2: give you shutout ball and you're gonna win that game.

868
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 2: That's not the way baseball is anymore. So if you'd

869
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 2: be fair about Kurt, no, Kershaw was an average pitcher

870
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 2: in the posts. Again, I would have love him to.

871
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: Be better, But it's unfair to say, oh, all the

872
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 1: playoff failures because nobody else had great. Look, I said,

873
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: best left handed pitcher ever Randy Johnson Randy Johnson under

874
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,720
Speaker 1: five hundred the playoffs ra was near four. It's unfair

875
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 1: to blame Kershaw for that because nobody else has been

876
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: able to pitch at the level you wanted Kershaw to

877
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: pitch that, so that criticism overall, now you look at

878
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: his career as totality the last twenty years.

879
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 2: This is how baseball is. It's unfair, but it goes

880
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 2: back to the Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, whomever else. And

881
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 2: while we can chuckle when you compare him to the

882
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 2: history of say Brady, you still gotta get there, and

883
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 2: they got you to the postseason. And for Clayton Kershaw,

884
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 2: that two run differential, yeah, that's but you still had

885
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 2: to get him into the dance.

886
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: Exit out about a Fresca exit swollen Dome. Clayton Kershaw's

887
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,240
Speaker 1: last out on Apple Tomorrow Night. Get your loggins ready.

888
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 2: The Fever are better without Caitlin Clark.

889
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,879
Speaker 1: From Mike, I'm Jason, my buddy, Ben Mallar coming up next,
