They didn't make 20 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: it onto the court. So now this has become an 21 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: even bigger thing. And again we'll have more on that 22 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: coming up in about twenty minutes. But all of a sudden, 23 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 1: this story. I'm like, oh my goodness, but it just 24 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: keeps giving. Yeah, the biggest story of the night. And 25 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: I you know, and there's a huge takeaway from this, 26 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: And we talked about this earlier, starting to go viral 27 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: for us a little bit here on social media. ESPN 28 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: is going to buy the NFL Network and get rights 29 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: to the Red Zone Channel as well. Now, this is 30 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: a story that we had known was likely coming for 31 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: a while, but it gets officially announced tonight. ESPN has 32 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: bought NFL Network and other NFL media assets, including the 33 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: rights to Red Zone Channel, in a deal that's going 34 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: to see the NFL get some kind of equity stake 35 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: in ESPN. So it's a big business deal. But what 36 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: we have to know is that basically, okay, ESPN has 37 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: bought NFL Network and the Red Zone Channel. And the 38 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: first note of business that was out there was Scott 39 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: Hanson is staying. Scott Hanson is stang, okay. 40 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 3: Because there was some stuff he was talking about negotiations whatever, 41 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 3: and everybody got all nervous. 42 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but but Scott Hanson is stay. And let 43 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: me just say this before we get to the really 44 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: big thing that's right, those beaches. This is the fourth 45 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: of July weekend. 46 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 4: We can't have it. 47 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: Everything's gonna be fine. Everything is going to be fine, 48 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: nf NFL Network's going to be fine. First of all, 49 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: it's after this season, right, so nothing's happening this year. 50 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: Everything is okay. 51 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 4: You can you can react slowly to the change. 52 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: Everything everything changing, it's over time. The NFL networks still 53 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: going to have NFL Network programming, The red zone is 54 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: still going to be red zone programming. It's still good 55 00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: to happen, Okay, even if it does change, which is not. 56 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 1: Even if it does, it's gonna be this way this year. Okay, 57 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,119 Speaker 1: So it's all right, it's it's all right, right, everything's 58 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: gonna be fine. You're gonna get the games. You're gonna 59 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: get NFL network games, you're gonna get, you're gonna get 60 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: red zone. Everything is fine, right, You're gonna be okay. 61 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 3: The kids that I have taken to the you know, 62 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 3: you're just kind of going through your paces of your day, right, 63 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 3: you get a lot going on, like how's everything going, 64 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 3: old blood dy, old bladda, and then you get back 65 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 3: to whatever the hell it is, you're supposed to be new. 66 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 4: It goes on manute. 67 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,839 Speaker 1: But this is the big takeaway right now. Obviously, could 68 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: there be some changes, Yeah, oh, there's gonna be average 69 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: people are already talking about there could be advertising on 70 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: red zone shouting red zone. Okay, I think at some 71 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: point that was going to happen, and not that we 72 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen. But if there's some kind of advertising, well, yeah, 73 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: because you gotta find a way to monetize it a 74 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: little bit more. Now, is it gonna be the point 75 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: where hey, we're back in two and a half minutes. No, 76 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: but could there be something on the bottom crawl? Could 77 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: there be some sort of voiceover while you're watching action 78 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: on TV? 79 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 4: Yeah? 80 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: Could there be some sort of video in a corner 81 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: while you're watching a game. Yeah, you could see stuff 82 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: like that, and you know what, Look, that's just the 83 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: way that business evolves. Now, But is there ever gonna 84 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: be something where it's gonna be Oh my god, Now, 85 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: this is a three and a half minute break and 86 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get anything. No, that's not gonna happen. 87 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,679 Speaker 3: But even if they did, you'd come back and they'd 88 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 3: catch up, and you'd be okay, and life would go on. 89 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: ESPN's been doing sports for a while, Okay, Just to 90 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,679 Speaker 1: understand that ESPN is not some sort of streaming giant 91 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: that bought the rights to this and I don't know 92 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: if we know what we're doing. You know, it's not 93 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: like HBO Max bought the rights to the Red Zone 94 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: Channel and NFL network and suddenly, look what's going to happen. Right, 95 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: Everything's gonna be fine. But this is the big point, right, 96 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: because this is a look in the mirror moment for ESPN. 97 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 1: Because when this deal got announced today, what did you 98 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: see everywhere? The general consensus everywhere social media reaction was, 99 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: oh great, ESPN bought NFL network in the Red Zone channel. 100 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,559 Speaker 1: They're gonna ruin it. Right, it's all of a sudden, 101 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: it's gonna be woke or we're gonna get interviews on 102 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: Sunday during the Red Zone with whoever's gonna be starting 103 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: an ABC drama in the fall. Right, they're gonna ruin it. 104 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: They're gonna ruin They're gonna ruin the Red Zone channel. 105 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: They're gonna ruin the NFL network. 106 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 4: Right. This latest second brought to you by Chanderland. 107 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: How to get away with murder again. 108 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 3: Right, Okay, all's what you missed on last week's Gray's Anatomy. 109 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smith is gonna be doing red Zone Channel. 110 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 4: Well, how the. 111 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 5: Jets allow the Patriots on the first drive to get 112 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 5: inside the red zone. We're in the gold zone? Now, 113 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 5: how do they get in the red zone? This is 114 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 5: embarrassing for Aaron Glenn. Aaron Glenn should be fired because 115 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 5: of what's going on here on the first. 116 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 4: Drive of the game. 117 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 3: Like, you know, would people be more outraged at that 118 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 3: or a commercial for two and a half minutes. 119 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: This drive by the Cowboys was abysmal. It was awful, 120 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: it was ridiculous. It was the worst drive I've ever seen. 121 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: It's ten to seven in the second quarter, doesn't matter. 122 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: This is the This is the biggest affront to the 123 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: NFL I've seen from the Cowboys. Like, this is what 124 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: people are talking about, and some of it's fun, but 125 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: this is the point, right. 126 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,679 Speaker 4: Is that get a hug? 127 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: Is that this is ESPN? Right, whatever you think about ESPN, 128 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: they've been doing sports. They've been the evil Empire, they've 129 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: been the giant for a long time. Right, you can say, oh, 130 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,799 Speaker 1: they could be doing the NFL a little bit better. 131 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: They've been doing sports will they know what they're doing. 132 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: But the general consensus is that the first reaction to 133 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: ESPN getting the NFL Network and Red Zone channel is 134 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: they're gonna screw it up. And this is where ESPN's 135 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: got to stop and go, Okay, our brand, our brand recognition, 136 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: our brand favorability is absolutely in the toilet. 137 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,559 Speaker 3: Is this because people are mad about Fantastic four? Fantastic four? 138 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: H I have not seen I mean, just to think 139 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: about that for a second, because again, this is not 140 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: some chant. It's not like the Hallmark Channel bought this 141 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: and we're suddenly gonna get Lacey Schevert and Danica mckeller 142 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: and y'all, you know, in some sort of thing. 143 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 3: Where they're tell me you're not sidling up with a 144 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 3: cup of coco and getting in your. 145 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: Would I would get to see the game, and I 146 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: would get to see someone play a fall festival? 147 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 3: You know what you should put as a table runner 148 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 3: in the whole nine yardsuse everybody's coming to your holiday meal. 149 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: But look from someone who has been there both behind 150 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: the scenes and is a talent like ESPN is a 151 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: huge conglomerate, and there is so many There are so 152 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: many voices and so many things that go into putting 153 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: on sports and the different sports channels twenty four to seven. 154 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: This is what they do, and still you're getting your 155 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: I could tell you the detail that they go through 156 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: to to to broadcast games and what they do to 157 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: make sure that they're putting out a great product. And 158 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: this is not even a studio show. This is not 159 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: even a studio show. You they're talking about, Hey, they're 160 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: buying the NFL. Now, well, guess what, NFL NET.

Red Zone is still gonna do their thing. 163 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: And the general opinion is that ESPN's gonna screw it up. 164 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: Like this is where you have to stop and say, okay, 165 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: we need to do some sort of deep dive into 166 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 1: why our reputation and our optics are so bad. 167 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 4: Right. 168 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: I get once in a while where you get all 169 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: the woke optic or this, but it but it the 170 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: the the mountain of of that ESPN used to sit 171 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: atop for sports like that's gone now and and I 172 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: get that where oh I like the way that Fox 173 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: does one thing. I like the way that ESPN does 174 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: one thing. I understand that part of the rivalry, but 175 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: the whole thing is that ESPN that's what they do. 176 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: And still the general opinion in the optic is that 177 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna get this. They're gonna get the property of 178 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: the NFL even more than they have now, and they're 179 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: gonna screw it up. Like this is where if I'm 180 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: running ESPN, if I'm any of the any the big 181 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: wigs there, I gotta say, Okay, this is this is 182 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: the low point for us now. And I get that 183 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: social media is always gonna be the lowest common denominator 184 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 1: of things. But there's nobody that's coming out and see 185 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 1: how everything's gonna be fine. The general consensus from fans 186 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: your bread and butter, the ones that pay the money 187 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: that you want to pay the money for your streaming 188 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: service that you're gonna have coming out.

You have 191 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: to fix that brand. You need trust in brand, you 192 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: need trust in product, like just like any any product 193 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: that is put out there that is seeing hard, Like, 194 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: why are no one buying Cheetos anymore.

Man, you got to look in the mirror 220 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: and say we got to change things. Yeah, I mean, look, 221 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: it goes back to your traditional networks that you've already 222 00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: been running and what the perceptions are now. Obviously one 223 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: of the main points of interest in the larger social 224 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: sphere is how much do you get of the McAfee show, 225 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: How much do you get of Steven A. 226 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 4: Smith? 227 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: And will those you know a lot of them the 228 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: Red Zone. 229 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 3: But but that but that's where people like, all right, 230 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 3: are these guys suddenly gonna be sitting in a in 231 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 3: a Barci lounger like it's the Manning cast chiming in 232 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 3: when Scott Hansen gives an update, right, and then they 233 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 3: debate it for two minutes before he gets to the 234 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 3: next one, you know, fundamentally changing the show. 235 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: And the answer is you paid them a lot of money. 236 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: They're probably gonna show up somewhere and you're gonna have 237 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: some way. Yeah, but that Smith is on NFL network 238 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: during the day. Okay, that's not the crossover. It's like 239 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: your favorite television dramas, say on ABC, here's a special 240 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: firehouse nine to one one or whatever the hell it 241 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: was called. From Shondaland into Gray's Anatomy and back and 242 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: forth and whatever else. It's gonna be the same thing, man, 243 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 1: you know you talk about from the TV radio side, 244 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: whatever else, they're gonna bleed over and that, and that's 245 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: just the nature of the beast of how you try 246 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,359 Speaker 1: to figure out how to incorporate and expand that acquisition 247 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: and make it profitable. But along the way, yeah, they'll 248 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: be missteps. 249 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 3: And they'll be you know, everybody's got their fiefdom that 250 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 3: they build within any walls, any organization, no matter where 251 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 3: you work, and certainly in media that guys have favorites 252 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 3: and want to make sure that they get their run 253 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 3: as often as they can. And certainly we'll see that. 254 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 3: And like I said, you've already paid them a lot 255 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 3: of money. Those two principles, you're going to see them 256 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 3: and you're gonna have to get over it or you 257 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 3: know what the old Kevin Durant comes in becomes. 258 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: The thing is that with with ESPN used to have 259 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: such a strugglehold on whatever sport you wanted to watch, 260 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: we have it, and it's like not so much anymore. 261 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 3: But now it's fractured sports center.

The little 338 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: league that I coached at for the long for the 339 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: long time, for seven eight years, Westchester was the West 340 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: champion and they're in the Little League Softball World Series. 341 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: They lost today. They lost the last couple of days, 342 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: so they got knocked out today. But it was an 343 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: incredible seeing the team and look and these weren't girls 344 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: that I really knew. I can't even say they were 345 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: the an Any of them were like the younger sisters 346 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: of the girls I coached because I coached in the 347 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: same thing, Like, if we had gotten out of state, 348 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: we would have got to regionals and then the Little 349 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: League World Series. 350 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 4: Right, So what did you do wrong? 351 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 1: We lost? Well, we lost to two teams that were 352 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: really good. 353 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 6: Uh. 354 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: But the first year in the twelve year olds in 355 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,239 Speaker 1: this in this one, they made us play West LA. 356 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: We're the two best Little leagues in Los Angeles, the 357 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 1: Greater Los Angeles area, and they made us for the 358 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: longest time, they made us play each other, which is like, 359 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: come on, you're just taking two really good teams out. 360 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: So we had to go through each other just to 361 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 1: get to the state tournament. So the first year we 362 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: lost to them in the state, in the in the uh, 363 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: to get out of what's called district. Then the next 364 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 1: two years when when I managed, we lost in the 365 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: semi finals of states and the finals in so district. 366 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 3: So you lost the Hunger Games that ye, yes, district 367 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 3: and Hunger Yes, I didn't get and you advanced and 368 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 3: you got to go to Capital City. 369 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: Yes, went in and brought the strawberries to President Snow 370 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, watching the team play, you know, 371 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: seeing it and all the conversations about it, and I 372 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: told you know, Ella Parker, who's the big star for Oklahoma. 373 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 1: Uh played at Westchester and and and her aunt or 374 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: her mom is Dave Roberts sisters is a big connection 375 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: to the Dodgers as well. It's been really something seen 376 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 1: this and seeing this league that I coached in, these 377 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: the same things, same all star tournaments, getting all the 378 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: way through. And it's weird because I always thought. I 379 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: always had this this thought about at some point in 380 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: my career coaching, was it was gonna end in the 381 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: Little League World Series, like we were gonna we were 382 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: gonna win because the team was really good, the league 383 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: is really good. We were gonna get there, and we 384 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: were gonna get on TV and the games are gonna 385 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: be on ESPN, and there was gonna be Oh, here's 386 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: a former ESPN radio host now at Fox. They're gonna 387 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: make me up for the games. And I always had 388 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: this thought that that's how it was gonna end. You 389 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: still have an opportunity. No, it's there's still a young guy. 390 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 1: You can yourself here. Yeah, but but the thing is 391 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: like to go back and coach now, to go be like, 392 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: you know, I coach my daughter and I coached her 393 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 1: all the way through and that's generally how it's done. 394 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: You know, the coach here coaching his daughter. She pitched 395 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 1: today for for Westchester in the game. Uh, it would 396 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: be it's weird to kind of go back and do it. 397 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: And there's coaches to do that and to try to 398 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: you know, stay and go all the way through even 399 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 1: when they're not coaching their kids. But that's generally how 400 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: it's done. And I always thought that, Okay, we're gonna 401 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: end because the team is really good and and our 402 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: our our you know, we we we have we have 403 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: the talent to get there. We're gonna get there, and 404 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 1: it's gonna be so much fun, and we're gonna we're 405 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: gonna make it out of out of state. So we're 406 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna win. We're gonna win Regionals, we're gonna 407 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 1: get to Little League World Series. And we lost the 408 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 1: losing in the in the finals and States those two 409 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: years was really tough because we had a really good 410 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 1: team and and potentially we could have beaten both of 411 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: those teams just didn't go our way. It was tough, man, 412 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: But I really thought, hey, you know where it's gonna 413 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: I can see it. Hey miked up in the Little 414 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: League World Series. Oh, here's a guy in the radios 415 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: there was coaching the team. I always thought that's how 416 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: it was gonna end. 417 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,679 Speaker 3: No, really, And then he's like, well, like I was 418 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 3: talking about last night, Jerry Jones, the games passed him by. 419 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: Hey, hey, cover second, cover second. 420 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 4: If you were managing, they wouldn made the World Series. 421 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: Oh man, close, close, Well I really did. 422 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 3: And was there anything managerial that you look back at 423 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 3: a particular substitution or or change or move you made 424 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 3: that you know you you now look at it and 425 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 3: say you Aaron booned it. 426 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: No, there's nothing that I look back and say, oh, 427 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: if if only I had done that, or if we 428 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 1: had done that, it would have been. But the one 429 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: thing that I really think about, and I don't think 430 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: that parents and and and kids really get this, is 431 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: that but as coaches, like we live with the outcomes 432 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: of these games for our entire life and for parents. Boy, 433 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: we had a great team and we won all we 434 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: almost won that game, and kids let the losses go, 435 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 1: you know, generally, because they move on from Little League 436 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: into high school and everywhere else. If they get they're 437 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: serious about it, they have bigger games they play and 438 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: if they're not serious about it. They look back and say, boy, 439 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 1: there's a great run, man, and all the way to 440 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: the end of States. And we made it to the 441 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: end of States those years. That's the furthest West chest 442 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: Or is going. We'd gone in a long time. So 443 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 1: I feel pretty good about that. But what they I 444 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: wish they all understood that as mad as we live 445 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: with these games for our entire and there's times where 446 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: I'm just sitting very idly thinking, oh, man, if only 447 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: this had happened, or if only and I think about 448 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 1: in the in the in the in the Semis when 449 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: we lost once where this the girl kept getting this 450 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: the rise ball call for a strike where everything was 451 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: outside the strike zone and we struck out twelve times 452 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 1: and my team doesn't strike out twelve times and the 453 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: home play numper. I'm like, these are not strikes, man. 454 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: I get that she's said, these are not strikes.

If you think 466 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: it's just you gotta just continue on with your with 467 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,439 Speaker 1: your strategy going towards it, and that's how it's gotta go. 468 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: And you know, we wound up tying them, and then 469 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: they scored, they scored a scratch run in the seventh 470 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 1: inning with a walk and a stolen base and stuff, 471 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: and they beat us two to one. And but I 472 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: but that's like I think about that game. I think 473 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: about other games do I think about big games that 474 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: we won, But but these games were Oh man, if 475 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: we had won that game, we would have won States. 476 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 1: It would have gone here, we would have been this 477 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: Like the results of these games, like we lived with them, 478 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: and why you know, you think about them for a while. 479 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: This is like, yeah, this kind of is what we 480 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: think about, you know, as coach, for the rest of 481 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: our lives.
