Yeah. 11 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 2: Now then, now we just need at least a safety 12 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 2: for the rest of the game. And we're sitting pretty 13 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 2: let's go. 14 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,200 Speaker 1: Hey, kind of apropos.

Blizzard treats are even sweeter when they support 18 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: kids who need it most. DQ happy tastes good. Well, 19 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: here we are midway through the third quarter, Chargers all 20 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: over the Lions twenty four to seven, and you know 21 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: after vacationing in Detroit for the better part or the 22 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 1: Greater Michigan area. Great. Yeah, now you're a greater Michigan. Yeah. 23 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: I've always been a greater Michigan. I've been one of 24 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: the greatest Michiganders ever. You've certainly proclaimed yourself to be. 25 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: So this is with these two teams right now, and 26 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: Trey Lance is playing quarterback for the Chargers. Now it 27 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: feels like it's twenty twenty again. We're back in five 28 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: This is awesome. I want to say this, the sense 29 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: of football fans and the general sense of how they 30 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 1: feel in Detroit now, going back once a year like 31 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: I normally do, it's one of those where I can 32 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: take a snapshot and because I'm not there every day, 33 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: I can see the progression. Right. 34 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: So you went and checked out all the jerseys that 35 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 2: people are wearing and all that, or they're wearing tigers gear. 36 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: A little none of the I tell you, well, first 37 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: of all, everybody, it's it's University of Michigan. It's everything. 38 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 2: Whether they have an allegiance doesn't matter tied to them 39 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 2: or not. You just have to pretend. 40 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: There's people who have never even been to the Greater 41 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: ann Arbor area. Everybody where's Michigan. 42 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 2: Gu Yeah, I mean, look, Notre Dame fans and all 43 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 2: that other I mean there's plenty. 44 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: And boy did I did I go shopping great in 45 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: Ann Arbor at the Michigan Store when I was fantastic. 46 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: But in the last few years, right, because remember when 47 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: I told you, hey, this Lion's team is coming, They're 48 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: going to the Super Bowl. And they were one. They 49 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: fell one game shot, they lose in the NFC Championship game, 50 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: they throw up on themselves in the second half. The 51 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: general sense of Lions fans now has gone and I agree, 52 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: it's gone from it's unbelievable that we're this good. Pinch 53 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,119 Speaker 1: me because I can't believe this. We've never been this good. 54 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: And then it went to the following year was okay, hey, 55 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: we got a taste last year. This is a super 56 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: Bowl year for us now and it comes to a 57 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: screeching hauled against Jayden Daniels and the Commanders in the playoffs. 58 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: And now it's more, hey, man, if it ain't this year, 59 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: we gotta blow it up. Like this is where in 60 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: just two years, forget about the fact the Lions have 61 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: been relevant, being at in years. I mean it's been 62 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,839 Speaker 1: you go back to Barry Sanders retiring on the eve 63 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: of training, cam Right, Matthew Stafford getting to one playoff game, 64 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: whatever it was. You forget Calvin Johnson. Yeah, oh, I'm 65 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: done like it. It's gone in the last three years. 66 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: It's gone from what a great story this is, this 67 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: is a magic carpet ride to hey man, if we 68 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: don't do it this year, we gotta make changes. We 69 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: got to blow it up and and and honestly, that's 70 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: what's gonna likely have to happen. Because Jared Goff needs 71 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: new contract. I'm and Ross saying Brown's gotta gotta need 72 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: a new contract. These guys are up. They want to 73 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: give more money to Aiden Hutchinson. It's like, okay, there's 74 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: only so much and there's other players a guy to 75 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: get paid to Like, this is a super Bowl or 76 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: bust year for the Lions, and when's the last time 77 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: and not even when Bob because they didn't have a 78 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: super Bowl when Bobby Lane was a quarterback. This is 79 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: a super Bowl or bust year for the Loans. And 80 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: if they don't, if it doesn't happen, this is we 81 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: gotta retool. We gotta redo things. We gotta pay Jared Goffield, 82 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: we gotta pay some Like what are you gonna do this? 83 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: This is it? This should be the year, right, they 84 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: should be the favorites in the NFC. It should be 85 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: them and the Eagles again, Right, but the Eagles coming 86 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: off a super Bowl? Okay, are they still gonna have 87 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 1: the hunger? Things are gonna go right for them? Like 88 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: they should be the team that you say, who should 89 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: be in the super Bowl this year, it's the Lions. 90 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: It is super Bowl or bust. And if it's bust, 91 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: it's gonna be an entirely new look to this team 92 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: because you guess what eventually Jimmie or Gibbs is gonna 93 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: want to give me. You gotta pay all this money. Right, 94 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: they've already I think realized that, Okay, this is Jameis 95 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: and Williams's last year, Right, we can't we can't pay 96 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 1: the guy. We're just gonna have it and he's gonna 97 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: go away. But all these guys are gonna want to 98 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: get paid. Sam Laport is gonna want to get paid 99 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: after this year because he's one of the top five 100 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: tight ends in the NFL. Like this is it is 101 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: for the Lions. In two years, it's gone from what 102 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: a great story we are to it's super Bowl or 103 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: bust and everything change. We need new guys who doesn't 104 00:04:59,160 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: work out well. 105 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 2: It's an a amazing run and shows you how quickly 106 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 2: the life cycle is in this league and that you're 107 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 2: also talking about super Bowl or Bust as the second 108 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 2: favorite behind the Eagles, sandwich nicely between those NFC East 109 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 2: powerhouses and the Eagles and the Commanders there. But you're 110 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: looking at it from the standpoint of you're also doing 111 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 2: it while changing out your coordinators as they both leave 112 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 2: this offseason, which we know is not the easiest task. 113 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 2: We watched the Eagles have that huge falloff. Now they've 114 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 2: got some shuffling up again after winning the Super Bowl, 115 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 2: but it's now the curiosity for the lines. David Montgomery 116 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 2: spoke to this a little bit last week as they 117 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 2: were entering camp of some of the expectations and looking 118 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 2: around the locker room of you know, the guys kind 119 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 2: of recognizing exactly what you're talking about. Between contracts and 120 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 2: just the way the National Football League is. You know, 121 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 2: we can talk about how robust and deep the AFC is, 122 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 2: and it's and it is right. You've got a lot 123 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 2: of heavyweights. While in the NFC side of things, we 124 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 2: watched the Commanders rise up quickly. Do you expect a 125 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 2: little bit of a fallback from the Commanders this year? 126 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 2: Perhaps a little bit right Deebo Samuel checks in with McLaurin, 127 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 2: will eventually figure things out with them. I don't think 128 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 2: he's going anywhere. But they also want a lot of 129 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 2: one score games a year ago. Law of averages says, 130 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 2: maybe you give one or two of those games back, 131 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 2: which which puts you back into the nice, meaty part 132 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 2: of the curve. Packers. You've got one hundred wide receivers. 133 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 2: I don't know if you have a great one, but 134 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 2: you've got a pretty good roster top to bottom. Forty 135 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,799 Speaker 2: nine ers come back and in theory, you'll have better health. 136 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 2: Perhaps the specter that is the injury plague finds another 137 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 2: squad and leaves you Rams. 138 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford is back. Hold up, love the rest of 139 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:51,559 Speaker 1: the roster. 140 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 2: Do you trust Jimmy g If Stafford's not there, me 141 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 2: and he and DeVonta Adams are best friends. Now the 142 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 2: Buccaneers read too Baker Mayfield. Are they gonna be healthy enough? 143 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 2: Like there's a bunch of teams that are kind of there, 144 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 2: but it's a talent level of the Lions is on paper, right, 145 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 2: them and the Eagles, and it's young talent. 146 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: It's all young. This is not hey, this guy's little 147 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: too well, No, the oldest guy is golf and a quarterbacks. 148 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: Obviously you play at high level till your mid to 149 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: late thirties. Like everybody's young. Everybody this is. This is 150 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: the roster everybody wants in the NFL. And it's a 151 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: super Bowl. What a world we live in. It's a 152 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: super Bowl or bust year for the Lions, not the Cowboys, 153 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: not the Steelers, not the Chiefs, not the Dolphins. I 154 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: know it's super Bowl or bus for the line, but 155 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: I already go to the offensive side of things. 156 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 2: Right, we look at some of these juggernauts and guys 157 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 2: that for fantasy purposes we're gonna be drafting highly, and 158 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 2: then you decide how much you love or hate youared golf. 159 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: But look at your coordinator. 160 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 2: It's gonna be a completely different game getting called, oh yeah, 161 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 2: we're not gonna have you know, passes to the offensive 162 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 2: tackle or a little you know, trap plays to them. 163 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: I mean those are gonna be gone all the gadgets. 164 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: Ben Johnson such a wizard, and I read today that 165 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: they're already all done.

Is Hutch healthy? 171 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 2: Because if Hutch is healthy, we're feeling okay because on 172 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 2: the defensive side of the ball. I mean you talk 173 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 2: about what Glenn was able to do, I mean that 174 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 2: was bandages and duct tape. With the way that defense 175 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 2: was structured at the end of the year, right, so 176 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 2: many guys were out injured, It's like, can you get 177 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 2: to the next game? Like we were trying to learn 178 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 2: who some of these guys were. It's like, remember him, 179 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 2: he was a second team All SEC or what whatever 180 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 2: in CIRT Conference. Here he hasn't played much of the NFL, 181 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 2: but damnit, he was good college years. 182 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: I'm all up and so far, I'm all on Aaron 183 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: Glenn Man. He is done. He is a culture guy. 184 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: Hearing the Jets say the practices are better, the communication 185 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: is better, everything is. But I'm like, oh my goodness, man, 186 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna what else are they gonna say? 187 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 2: It's gonna you know what, it sucked last year, it's 188 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 2: just as bad. 189 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: No, it's a new guy. 190 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 2: Everybody's sucking up, including all of the beat reporters, Samini. 191 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 2: They all have to suck up because they need the quotes, 192 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 2: they need the access. It's a new regime. So you're 193 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 2: you're gonna say all the positive, glowing things. You paid 194 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 2: your superstars all of that to say, Yeah, it can't 195 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 2: be any darker than it was the last couple of years, right. 196 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 2: I mean, you've got to have hope springs eternal there 197 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 2: for the New York Football Jets, but yeah, for your Lions. 198 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,719 Speaker 2: You started it and then you took them as far 199 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 2: as you could and then you abandon them. 200 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: Now they got to do it. Everybody's got to do 201 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: something for themselves. Everybody's chomping on that that pistons band. 202 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: I can push you on your bicycle, but you got 203 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 1: a pedal and make it doing yours. 204 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 2: I could do that, but you don't have to pedal anymore. 205 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 2: You got these electric bikes. I don't have to pedal 206 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:57,839 Speaker 2: a damn bit. 207 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: Uh, so we'll we'll have stuff on the chargers well 208 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: coming up, because Trey Lance is thrown two touchdowns and 209 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 1: we've hit the over. I'm waiting for the for the obligatory. 210 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: You know, Trey Lance is younger, is still younger than 211 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: seventy four percent of the quarterbacks they have a U. 212 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: But he has on a couple of touchdowns for the charge. 213 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: We got stuff on the chargers coming up. I mean 214 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: he had a fumble on the opening. Yeah, hit that over. 215 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 1: But today also trade deadline day in Major League Baseball. 216 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: We get to the big particulars coming up them. That's 217 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 1: make big moves. The Padres make big moves right the Mariners. 218 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: But uh, this was a day where everybody seemed to 219 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 1: get a closer. It's like Oprah walking and you get 220 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: a closer, and you get a close. The Yankees got 221 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: a closer and said, nope, Devin Williams is still a closer. Okay, 222 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: I mean closers went yesterday. Today. It's the year of 223 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: the relief picture being traded. Right this trade deadline there 224 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: were there were thirty four trades, I think is what 225 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,239 Speaker 1: it was, and I think thirty one of them were relievers, 226 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: and certainly thirty thirty one were relievers. And it was 227 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: Suarez and Mullins, right, and that's it. 228 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 2: Well, and everybody had once upon a time wore up 229 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 2: Padres or Twins Jersey, Yeah. 230 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: Poor twins. They don't have a team. 231 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 2: Then, I think they only have two guys under contract 232 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 2: through the end of next year. 233 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: With nine players off their roster from this week have 234 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: been traded in nine guys. A lot of rosters shuffling there. 235 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 1: But look, here's where I could tell you the why, right, 236 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: Because why do we get so many relievers traded? Why 237 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: is it? Are the the the influx of it? Why 238 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: so many today? And this is part of the new 239 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: baseball with the one deadline at the end of July. 240 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: Why did all these relievers get traded? Mainly because relievers 241 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: are the easiest players to trade and to trade for. 242 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 1: It's it's sometimes it's just that simple, right, Why is 243 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: so many every does everybody the Padres need a reliever? No, 244 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: but it was pretty easy to trade for. We got 245 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: another club. We got Mason Miller, Okay, we got we 246 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: got another club. We don't need it, but we got one. 247 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 1: It's easier to trade for relievers because these guys aren't 248 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: getting paid a ton of money. If you want to 249 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: resign a reliever, it's generally not for a ton of money. 250 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: The prospects you will give up are not gonna be 251 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: ones at the top, but there'll be decent prospects. They'll 252 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: be periphery top ten prospects. It's easy. It's like trading 253 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 1: and fantasy with the owner you know you can trade with, 254 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: versus the owners you know you can't trade with. And 255 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: that's kind of what it is in baseball. Okay, Hey, 256 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: all these teams understand that we're gonna build our starting pitching, 257 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 1: we're gonna build our offense, and then if we need relievers, 258 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: we can get them at the deadline because there will 259 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: be a plethora of relievers available and we'll be able 260 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: to trade some prospects that are in our top prospects 261 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: and be able to move that. That's just the way 262 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: baseball goes. Now, look at all the teams that had weaknesses. 263 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: Look what they did. The Mets bullpen huge weakness. Now 264 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: it's one of their big strengths. Right. The Phillies turn 265 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: their bullpen into a big strength. The Padres made their 266 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: bullpen even a bigger strength. I don't even think they 267 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: need starting pitchers anymore. It's gonna go with the relievers 268 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: and roll them all the way through. Right, the Yankees 269 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 1: make a trade for a closer. These guys are all 270 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: getting all these teams where the bullpen is our weak link. 271 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: They know, guess what, at the deadline, we can do 272 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: this because it is the cheapest way to improve our team. 273 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: And that's simply why. And this is going to be 274 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: a case forever now because you only have the one 275 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: deadline in Major League, but they don't have the end 276 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: of August, where hey, these other pitchers that are coming up, 277 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: we can get rid of them. They can pass through waivers. 278 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,719 Speaker 1: They're worth a lot of money. It's the easiest way 279 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: to improve your team. And teams are now going to 280 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: go into a season saying, hey, we like our bullpen, 281 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: but we're not going to go crazy signing bullpen guys 282 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,599 Speaker 1: because we don't know how the first half of the 283 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: year is going to go. We don't know if the 284 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: magic this guy had for twenty twenty four is going 285 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: to come through in twenty twenty five. We're gonna need 286 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: to move on from him. So at the deadline, yeo Okay, 287 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: who's having a big year? All right, great, we can 288 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: make that move again. This is something that is going 289 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: to happen every year. Big relievers will get dealt every 290 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: single season, and teams are going to build that way. 291 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: So when they get to the deadline, we know, okay, 292 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 1: how do we make our team better check mark. We'll 293 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 1: get a couple of relievers coming in, we'll get a closer, 294 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 1: and suddenly our bullpen has lights out. Now, all of 295 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: a sudden, these big contenders got way better by not 296 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: giving up a lot. It's a very popular way. 297 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 2: Well, and that's the other part is just the way 298 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 2: the game itself has been structured and changed that you know, 299 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 2: we get guy that goes seven innings, we're busting out 300 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 2: the New Year's Eve streamers and horns to celebrate. 301 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: A big effort. 302 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 2: Otherwise it's you need three four arms a day. We 303 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 2: talked about it last night. Look at the Dodgers. They 304 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 2: made some moves, not the big splash than any anybody. 305 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: Was really looking for, although they. 306 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 2: Did get mister Tibbs, so we'll get to run that 307 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 2: line a lot for the second TIBs. 308 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: They picture the Reds and the Mets in the eighties. 309 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: He was supposed to be great. 310 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 2: Jab is still around, no question, no, but it's it's 311 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 2: just the idea that you're gonna need there. They already 312 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 2: have gone through thirty seven arms. 313 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: Shut up. 314 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 2: But all of that to say, I mean the get 315 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 2: Us Book of World Records. 316 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: We said it last night. It's forty two. 317 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 2: And now you're adding more arms and hoping Blake Snow 318 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 2: when he comes off Saturday, can give you a bunch 319 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 2: of innings. Otherwise you've got a bunch of relievers that 320 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 2: are already been highly leveraged and trotted out quite frequently. 321 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 2: So team for team, they're trying to match up. When 322 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 2: you look at your front runners in either league, but 323 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 2: also just the changing face of baseball, you need to 324 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 2: get through the long slog in the dog days of 325 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 2: August and into September. If you're still a competitor, you 326 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 2: need fresh arms, and you need three guys that are 327 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 2: gonna be at the ready every day. And you can't 328 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 2: keep trotting guys out two three times a series and 329 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 2: think you're gonna have great success.

Like, yeah, I think I 424 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: think you generally look better playing in those uniforms. Well, 425 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: look good, feel any good interceptions? Look good? Oh that 426 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: wasn't his fault. Why because look at the uniform he's wearing. 427 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 1: That was not He threw it right to the guy. 428 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: There wasn't a receipt twenty yards. Yeah, but look look 429 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: how he stretched out that uniform, that powder blue and 430 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: the lightning hot look facs. 431 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 2: But if you look at the rotation of the ball 432 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 2: and the release point, I mean it was picture perfect. 433 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 2: I mean, look at this. It doesn't even look perfect 434 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 2: in this beautiful uniform. 435 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: All right now, So I ask you this, let me 436 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: ask you this now before you get back to the 437 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: matre Baseball traded loine. So here's Trey Lance. Obviously, you know, 438 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: trying to win a job, trying to stay a backup 439 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Didn't work out in San Francisco, didn't 440 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: work out in Dallas. Right now, if he was taken 441 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: number one overall'd be talking about what an unbelievable draft 442 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: bust he is. Because when he was taking three overall, 443 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: people kind of forget that. Yeah, yeah, because things worked 444 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: out for the forty nine as well. Jimmy was still 445 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: pretty good and well they got lucked in with brock Purty. 446 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 1: So okay, it doesn't seem like it now. It's really 447 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: the asset they didn't get. They could had a franchise 448 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: player at number three overall that they don't have anymore. 449 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: But now at this point, like Trey Lance, if I 450 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: said to you, percentage chance by the age of thirty. 451 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: By the age of thirty, remember he's only twenty five. Again, 452 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: the obligatory Trey Lance is younger than seventy eight percent 453 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: of all the starting quarterbacks in the NFL. Remember that, 454 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: what he would. 455 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 2: Say, Well, and seventy eight percent of the guy's drafted 456 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 2: in this no percentage Okay, he's not that young. 457 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: He's young. He's not that young. Okay, it's not like 458 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: Chris Wanki was drafted. I just like you, throwing out 459 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 1: the seventy eight percent Ye, no percentage chance that by 460 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: the age of thirty he gets Darnoalded or genode where 461 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: he somehow finds his way into a starting job in 462 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 1: the NFL, either's a bridge quarterback or someone there's an injury. 463 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 1: So we're gonna go with him this year and he 464 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: has a chance for a big payday and to be 465 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: a starter in the NFL by the age of thirty. 466 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: Does that happen for Trey Lance? I mean, based on tonight, 467 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: I mean he's a whiz. No you want to I 468 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: mean understand what sixty seven quarterbacks a year get hurt? Now? No, 469 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: but that's hurt. But that's the number we would go to. 470 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 2: Right is like we're into the sixties every year, either 471 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,360 Speaker 2: because of operations shut down in week seventeen or eighteen, 472 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 2: or the obligatory injury bug that hits, or we start 473 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 2: going into the well, eventually we're getting eighteen games. We're 474 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 2: gonna need even more of these guys creeping around Right now. 475 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 2: You got Herbert Heineke, Trey Lance, and. 476 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 1: Who's gonna see some time here? Right? Yeah? And the 477 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: people are going, wait, Djuila is in the he's not 478 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 1: stelling college football somewhere. I think he played for your 479 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: nine in college foot Well. 480 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 2: Look, if you could keep going, and especially once payments 481 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 2: started for point, why would you leave? 482 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: Who's been on more teams? Leana la or Blake Snell. 483 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: Who's been on more teams who's been on. Oh, I 484 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 1: think it's a push, right, I think it's a push. 485 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 2: But all of that to say that for for Trey Lance, 486 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 2: look in San Francisco, he never got a chance to 487 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 2: reclaim the job. Right once Brock Purdy took over coming 488 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 2: back off injury, that that was the end of that. Dallas, 489 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 2: he was never gonna see the field. And now you 490 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 2: move on here, He's never gonna see the field. 491 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: But I have no doubt. I have no problem saying that. 492 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: If we saw it for Sam Darnold, who proved that 493 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: he couldn't do it in a lot of places before 494 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 1: he gets into the right system, if we've seen it 495 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: for Gino Smith, who was a backup for ten years 496 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: in the NFL, Trey Lance's draft pedigree for a good reason, 497 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: is going to follow him around the league. Right, This 498 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: guy was drafted number three overall for reason, Right, Sam 499 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 1: Darth guy was drafted number three overall for reason. Right, 500 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 1: Jets took Gino Smith for everybody took him for a read. 501 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,479 Speaker 1: He took him for a reason. By the time he 502 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: is thirty, he will get a chance. He will get donalded, 503 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 1: he will get geno'ed. He will get a chance to 504 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: be a starting quarterback, either as a bridge quarterback or 505 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: coming in as a backup that you can trust, and 506 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: he gets thrust into a starting role. By the age 507 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: of thirty, he will be starting for an NFL team 508 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 1: for a full season. Look at you all because of 509 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: a thirteen for twenty two touchdown performance in a glorious 510 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: uniform on of Hall of Fame. He just got you, 511 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: just got you. Look you have to find the right system. 512 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,880 Speaker 1: Quarterback systems under Jim Harbor generally friendly. They don't ask 513 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: you to do too much. They want you, Okay, what 514 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: do you do? How do you do it? Why did 515 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: you have to do that? I say this knowing that 516 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: I'm trying to trade from the Dynasty League. They didn't 517 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: ask McCarthy to do a lot. They justin Herbert had 518 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: a great year last year, asking him to do a 519 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: little bit less. This is where you go to rehabilitate 520 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: yourself as a quarterback. To understand that I'm in a 521 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: quarterback friendly system with a guy who was a quarterback. Yeah, 522 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: this is where I needed to be. Right in San Francisco, 523 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: I couldn't be healthy. Nothing I could do about that. 524 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: In Dallas, I never got the chance because I was 525 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: brought in to be someone just to push Dak Prescott. 526 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: But by some point in the next five years, is 527 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 1: he gets a little bit of quarterback playing under him 528 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: and he's able to play, he's able to stay healthy. 529 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,880 Speaker 1: He will go somewhere as a backup and he will 530 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: get to play a little bit, and suddenly Trey Lance 531 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 1: will be someone who all right, hey, we'll we'll pick 532 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,719 Speaker 1: him up for a year and see it. Remember you 533 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 1: saw the journeys of all these other guys. You would 534 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: never say Geno Smith or Darnold and these are all 535 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: ex jets. We'll ever get a chance to start somewhere 536 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,719 Speaker 1: else in the NFL again, And look what happened. These 537 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: guys are getting chances well. 538 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 2: But the big thing with him is like we just 539 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 2: don't know. Like, like I said, he's appeared in twelve games, 540 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 2: a couple of those were torrential downpours, injury shortened and 541 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 2: then you know, a cup of coffee to finish games. 542 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 2: Uh So, like now you're trying to figure out where 543 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 2: you fit in the league, and to the point that 544 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 2: you need three guys in camp, or if you're the 545 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 2: Browns four, maybe a fifth. You never know that you're 546 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 2: gonna go through the paces injury attrition every year. It's 547 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 2: the same thing. So yeah, is the possibility. Look, there's 548 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 2: a lot of bad football teams that are are looking 549 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 2: for a guy who's not necessarily a bridge. Someone's gotta 550 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 2: wear the uniforms. Someone's gotta go out under center. So yes, 551 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 2: you hang around long enough. There's not that many new 552 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 2: guys coming into. 553 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 1: The league each year. 554 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 2: They at least at the quarterback position. It's a handful 555 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 2: that find their way in. So yeah, it is the 556 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 2: craziest thing to say he gets a shot. 557 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,640 Speaker 1: No, it's not. You know, you're drafted third overall, you're 558 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: gonna get fourteen chances. We see that. 559 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 2: Ay, no, he no, he doesn't have the excuse of 560 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 2: having been with the Jets. Like that's the one thing 561 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,199 Speaker 2: where this kind of falls apart. 562 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: Well, but the other guys everybody, but most guys are 563 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: with the Jets, and then it happened, but not every guy. 564 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: Most guys are with the Jets. 565 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 2: But but the two most famous in this scenario, every 566 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 2: hey wait for them to find the right spot. 567 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: Are guys that they had to beat. 568 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 2: The bad habits and memories of the Jets out of 569 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 2: them like it was Bucky sitting there with the mouthpiece. 570 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: They gave him the shot treatment in the Avengers. You 571 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: need that new arm. 572 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 3: I need that arm. 573 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: I need to remember. I gotta remember who I was. 574 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,199 Speaker 1: I need that to it. Oh my god, I was 575 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,640 Speaker 1: a jet. No wonder, you also need a new arm. 576 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 1: Why do I keep seeing this guy named Salah? I 577 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: don't understand. We don't want those memories. It's like Brian Cott, 578 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: Aaron Gleno, Aaron Glenn, Aaron Glenn, Aaron Glenn.

By the way, you 649 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 2: had Hendon Hooker taking down Jared Goff a year ago. 650 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: No more than that, none I remember picking up Hendon 651 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: Hooker in Dynasty, thinking Okay, eventually he's gonna win this, 652 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: like I like I remember picking him up when he 653 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: was going to be out the entire year because Jared Goff. Still, 654 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: I'm showing you that there's there's a system. There's a 655 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: system for everyone. If there's a system to make Jared 656 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: Goff look good, there's a system for everyone. 657 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 2: Well to be honest, to be fair though. Even though 658 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 2: he didn't pass through the Jets, he did pass through 659 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 2: Jeff Fisher. 660 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 1: That just gotta find it. Cit I know, by the way, 661 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: yes it counts if you can't sing in a in 662 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 1: a musical. It's not when Oh it doesn't matter that 663 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: he can't sing, he's so good, No it matters. Uh, 664 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. Trade deadline today in Major League Baseball, 665 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: And honestly, there's two teams. If you want to say 666 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: who won, I could tell you the two teams that 667 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 1: won easy overall. The Mariners. One. You know, they got 668 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: Josh Miller the other day and they got Gino Suarez 669 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: who they brought him back, and how excited he is, 670 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: Like I think they held up the team plane for 671 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: him to join the team, to get there for tonight's 672 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: game like they didn't give up anything, And really, the 673 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: Diamondbacks blew it because they should have traded Suarez a 674 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: week ago when he was hot and everybody wanted him 675 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: and clamored for them. They waited too long, and now 676 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: they didn't wind up getting nearly the level of players 677 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: they should have gotten. But the Mariners add a couple 678 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 1: of absolute mashers and they don't give up any of 679 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: their high prospects. They completely win the trade deadline. And 680 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: I'll throw the Padres in there too, because even though 681 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: I wasn't crazy about the Mason Miller trade because they 682 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: already have a lights out bullpen and getting Miller was, okay, 683 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: that's great, you got him. He's under team control, which 684 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: tells me after this year, look that Dylan ces is 685 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: gonna be gone. They're gonna move, They're gonna they're gonna 686 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: really go to a bullpen heavy team. And that's kind 687 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,479 Speaker 1: of what they did. They gave up prospects, they gave 688 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: up a couple of guys that are really good, but 689 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: they made a ton of other trades and they brought 690 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: in stability to the bottom of the lineup. And the 691 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,719 Speaker 1: thing that people forget about the trade deadline in baseball, 692 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: it's not always hey, did you go get a star, 693 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 1: But do you have a couple of positions that are 694 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: performing way below average? And can you bring in average 695 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: players or or a tiny bit above average players to 696 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 1: fill that book. Because if you can do that, that's 697 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 1: the same equivalent of bringing in a superstar. Say if 698 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: we're getting a guy that that can't do anything, if 699 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: we got a couple of positions at boy, they're really 700 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: in the bottom third of the league of what we're 701 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: getting offensively in ops or RBI's this position, and you 702 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: can go get a league average guy or guy a 703 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: little bit above average, then you win. And that's what 704 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 1: the Padres did. I feel like them wast fool proof 705 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: their lineup today. Great that they're going for it. I 706 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: love the guts and the Padres. They not only went 707 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 1: out and made one of their strengths even better, but 708 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: they made their lineup pretty solid. Right it's no longer 709 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 1: top heavy like it used to be. They're coming off 710 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 1: the sweep in the Mets and they're feeling good about themselves 711 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: right now. They kept their starting pitchers. That the vibe 712 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 1: around the team has to be really, really good. No 713 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: Padres and the Mariners the two biggest winners of the deadline. 714 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we talked a lot about with the 715 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 2: Dodgers and their need to keep going to the pen 716 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 2: and something that was greatly successful a year ago. But eventually, 717 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 2: do you the wrong guy if you have to go 718 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 2: back through that right and going into the bullpen as 719 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 2: frequently as they do through analytics and the fact that 720 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 2: you don't have a lot of starts. You have a 721 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 2: lot of starters, you don't have a lot of guys 722 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 2: that can give the innings. We talked about this a 723 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 2: little bit last night. Grab the podcast, listen to the 724 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 2: full discussion. But if you're the Padres, you're pot committed 725 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 2: with a bunch of the talent you already had in 726 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 2: so bringing in o'hear and bringing in Loreano fortifying things 727 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 2: on that roster. Dylan Ceese has pitched better of late. 728 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 2: So yeah, you look at the Dodgers and say, hey, 729 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,800 Speaker 2: we can go maybe go and steal this thing, or 730 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 2: if we get in, if we got enough pitching, we 731 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 2: can go that for bat the Suarez deal is good, 732 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 2: and look the Diamondbacks, I don't know how much juice 733 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 2: they had for the fact that he's a little bit 734 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,240 Speaker 2: older and he's in the final year of his deal. 735 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 2: So I'm sure some teams were scared away by all right, 736 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 2: we're gonna bring him in and we have to re 737 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 2: sign him or is he a rental? So what are 738 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 2: we gonna do? The Padres. I know a lot of 739 00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 2: our folks in San Diego were mad because Devriez had 740 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 2: to go back out. 741 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 1: He was a guy that we're very excited about. 742 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, so now it becomes that laundry list of young 743 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 2: guys hitters that have come through and passed through San Diego, 744 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 2: maybe gotten a cup of coffee with the team, maybe 745 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,280 Speaker 2: never got there, and wondering what if and how. 746 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:16,360 Speaker 1: And all of that. 747 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd say though, the Padres were the one for me, 748 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,799 Speaker 2: just from the since we reside and work in Los 749 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 2: Angeles and the number of people that are now like, wow, 750 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 2: they didn't go away.

There are losers for the trade deadline, but 769 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 1: not why you think, not because they made horrible trades, 770 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,320 Speaker 1: but because they've decided that hope is their best strategy 771 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,319 Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. Wait, will we tell 772 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: you the teams we're talking about?

That's because the Chargers lead the Lions 779 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 1: thirty thirty four to seven in the fourth quarner. And 780 00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 1: now you got a big pick. He just went quid 781 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 1: over his hit. He went and took it right out 782 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 1: of Lyle love It's hands. 783 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:09,320 Speaker 2: Oh that was a person late, She's TJ. 784 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: That was a perfect interception. No one lets them know. 785 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 1: So we have the Chargers kneeling on the football now 786 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 1: they're going to win this thirty four to seven. Well, 787 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 1: have more on the first game of the year coming 788 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 1: up in about ten minutes. But we today being trade deadline, right, 789 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,439 Speaker 1: we talked about the big winners a few minutes ago, 790 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 1: and it's hard, you know, when you say, oh, because 791 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 1: the losers now could wind up being winners in a 792 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 1: couple of years, because depending on who you wind up 793 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,359 Speaker 1: getting as a prospect takes off right instead, it happens right. 794 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,719 Speaker 1: But the two losers, honestly of the trade, and I 795 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 1: know they got a closer. The two losers of the 796 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:50,920 Speaker 1: trade deadline, Dodgers and the Yankees two big losers, because 797 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 1: what they what their philosophy was today was their strategy 798 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,919 Speaker 1: is hope, hope that injured players come back. Sure, hope 799 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:04,080 Speaker 1: that ineffective players start hitting again. We're pitching well again, 800 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,480 Speaker 1: because that's what it was. It's the Dodgers minor moves 801 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,279 Speaker 1: all across the board. The Yankees miner was though they 802 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,279 Speaker 1: did get a closer, and they're still gonna let Devin 803 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 1: Williams closer. Okay, that's great, let's see how along that last. 804 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 1: But but the Yankee still it was a bunch of 805 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 1: depth moves and they're just and it's hope, because that's 806 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 1: what it is. It's the Dodge and Yankees both hoping that, well, 807 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,879 Speaker 1: our guys are gonna hit at some point, right, Okay, 808 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 1: it's the end of July. Just because you think they're 809 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 1: going to doesn't mean they're going to. And both of 810 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,040 Speaker 1: them had needs. The Dodge a starting pitching needs. The 811 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 1: Yankees have needs all over the place, and their strategy 812 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 1: was hope that Okay, let's do a couple of things. 813 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: Let's get a couple of hold the fort type players. 814 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 1: All right, Let's go get Amed Rosario. Let's see, let's 815 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 1: let's trade away Dustin May, Let's trade James Autman. Let's 816 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 1: say and it's we got a hope that Mookie Betts 817 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,799 Speaker 1: starts hitting and Freddie Freeman starts hitting home runs again, 818 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,400 Speaker 1: and and Otani can still pitch and it's only a 819 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,480 Speaker 1: you know, his his issue really a cramp, or you know, 820 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 1: Blake Snell is able to pitch, and Tyler glasnow is 821 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,279 Speaker 1: able to pitch, and Cofax can come back and pitch 822 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,400 Speaker 1: like this is what both teams decided to subscribe to 823 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,319 Speaker 1: in years when hey, if you're the Yankees, you were 824 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,120 Speaker 1: the best team in the American League for a while, 825 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 1: and the Dodgers, this is a world series or bust 826 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,240 Speaker 1: a year for you. And still it's, yeah, we're gonna 827 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 1: hope our guys come through. Okay, that's great, And we 828 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 1: say it all the time, and I'm sure people who 829 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,239 Speaker 1: wrote Formula One listen to it because we say hope 830 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:29,959 Speaker 1: is not a strategy. They ran it in the movie 831 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,840 Speaker 1: Hope is not a strategy. That's why the Dodger and Yankees, 832 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,320 Speaker 1: to me, they're the big losers because they just say, 833 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna do some depth things, even though we have needs. 834 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,800 Speaker 1: We're not gonna go crazy when these are years to 835 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,440 Speaker 1: go for it because your teams are pretty good, right. 836 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 1: The Dodger's still top of the National League, Yankee still 837 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 1: in a playoff position, getting hot the last couple of days, 838 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: beating the Rays the way they have, They're still really good, 839 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 1: and they've decided yeah, no, we're just gonna kind of 840 00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 1: get hold of fort No the hope being their strategy. 841 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 1: They're the losers. 842 00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you did get mister Ti Bibbs. He's 843 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 2: a second year guy in the minor leagues. He's not coming. 844 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 2: He's not gonna be a second you know, second half 845 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,720 Speaker 2: guy that's suddenly bringing you anything off the bench. Outman 846 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 2: for some of his defensive issues the last week, and 847 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 2: Clayton Kershaw comments that might have been the thing to 848 00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 2: get him out. And Dustin May we saw him after 849 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,360 Speaker 2: his last appearance at Dodger Stadium taking a bunch of pictures, 850 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:24,960 Speaker 2: So it was just a question of where he was 851 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,520 Speaker 2: gonna end up. I'm gonna go and it's not just 852 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,680 Speaker 2: because you know, I'm a south side Chicago and the 853 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 2: Cubs were pretty disappointing a lot of expectations, and we 854 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:39,640 Speaker 2: talked about the the lack of starting pitching moving around 855 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,239 Speaker 2: here at the deadline, But that was a clear and 856 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:47,320 Speaker 2: obvious need to anybody looking at this squad. You've got 857 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:49,560 Speaker 2: a bunch of heavy hitters, you've got some of the 858 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 2: great breakout players in Major League Baseball on the offensive side, 859 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 2: but you're light in starting pitching. So adding a utility 860 00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 2: infielder and another guy to your bullpen and keeping pace 861 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:01,720 Speaker 2: with the Brewers. 862 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,000 Speaker 1: It's a Miracle Treat Day a DQ, which means a 863 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 1: dollar or more from every Blizzard treat is donated to 864 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: your local member hospitals of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Blizzard 865 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 1: treats are even sweeter when they support kids who need 866 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,359 Speaker 1: it most DQ, because happy tastes good. So there's our 867 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,279 Speaker 1: trade deadline losers. We got John Paul Morosi coming up 868 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:21,000 Speaker 1: in about a half hour. But next, what team am 869 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 1: I all in on for this year? In the NFL? 870 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:23,840 Speaker 1: Fox
