Speaker 1: call him Timmy L. Trumpet.

77
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 3: It's kind of fun three years, sixty nine million dollars

78
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 3: to do that when your former team didn't engage allegedly

79
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 3: until the last twenty four to forty eight hours and

80
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 3: didn't want to meet your terms expectations, and the Dodgers said, hey,

81
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 3: thank you very much.

82
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: All right, now let me give you. Let me give

83
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: reality here, because I'm gonna give you. I know you

84
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: think I'm going one way on this, and I'm not.

85
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: Because I've told.

86
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: You you are wearing a miss. And if you listen to.

87
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: What I've talked about Edwin Diaz the last few years,

88
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: I will tell you this. Number One, everybody who lost

89
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: their minds today. It was all over social media, the

90
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: Mets with the number one trend. How do you let

91
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: Edwin DZ go? How do you let Edwin die? It's

92
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: awful you let Edwin ds go off of? Okay, time

93
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: out for one second. I'll I'm the biggest Mets fan

94
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: in the world. Maybe he wanted to go to the

95
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: Dodgers because I understand wanting to go to the Dodgers.

96
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: I really do, and I think every baseball fan understands, well,

97
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: if I can get to the Dodgers, they clearly have

98
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: shown the last decade they win World Series, they win

99
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: National League penance, and I want to be part of that.

100
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: So I I there's only so much you can do.

101
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: It's well, what were we gonna do? Right cause this

102
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: gets to the second part of it is that, Okay,

103
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: maybe he wanted to be a dog. Clearly he did

104
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: because the Mets money. Mets did the same thing they've

105
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: been doing with Peter A. Lonzo is a Hey, let

106
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: us see what the money is at Hey, three years

107
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: sixty nine million for the Dodgers and the Mets that

108
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: we can do about the same stuff. Right there. Offer

109
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: was three years and sixty six million. They had some

110
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: money deferred. The Dodgers had some money deferred, but in

111
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: the end, Edwin Diaz wanted to go be a Dodger,

112
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: So okay, so he's there. The second thing is this,

113
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: I am really okay saying goodbye to Edwin Diaz. I

114
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: really am because Edwin Diaz has been I would say so.

115
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes he's been great and sometimes he's not been. His

116
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: first year with the Mets was awful. His second year

117
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: was fantastic, got a big contract, third year got hurt

118
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: out for the year, next year was terrible. Last year

119
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: he was really good. He's an every other year reliever.

120
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna give one hundred million dollars to

121
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 1: a guy for the ninth inning who's been as volatile

122
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: and up and down as Edwin Diaz because this is

123
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: what the guy does. Yes, sometimes he comes into it's one, two, three.

124
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's why does he have to walk the first

125
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: two guys? Why does he have to hit a guy?

126
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: Why is it throw a wild pitch?

127
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 4: Right?

128
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: You talk about is his wild pitches and and and

129
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: uh uh and and another and other uh uh situations

130
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: that he comes into that's not clearly. I can throw

131
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: strikes and get out of situations like I think last

132
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: year he had a combine fifteen or seventeen hit by

133
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: pitches and wild pitches. Right, So that's like every every

134
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: three innings he gives you what he gives you one, one,

135
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: one or both of those. Right. He's a very volatile reliever,

136
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: and he's coming off a great year. So is he

137
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,559
Speaker 1: gonna be great again? Yeah? Maybe, but maybe not because

138
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: as we've seen with relief pictures, it's very common to

139
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: see guys I have a great year, but I was overused.

140
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: My next year is not great, then I'm bounced back

141
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: a year after that. Relief pictures from year to year

142
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: are really difficult. You're trying to catch lightning in a

143
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: bottle and you're trying to catch guys on the upswing.

144
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: So that's why, Hey, we'll give Devin Williams fifty million

145
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: dollars because we saw him be really, really good two

146
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: years ago. Last year not so great. But we know

147
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: we can fix him. We're on the upswing. We're not

148
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: spending as much money as he would on Edwin Diz.

149
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: So I get it. I get not give what's the

150
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: money to give Edwin Diaz? You're gonna give seventy five

151
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: million dollars to him to close for four years. You're

152
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: gonna do that. I mean, you have other needs to

153
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: figure out that are bigger than the ninth inning. Not

154
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: the ninth inning's not a big deal, but you have

155
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: other needs that are bigger than figuring out the ninth inning,

156
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: especially with a guy that every time he came in

157
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: you didn't know what you were gonna get from year

158
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: to year, right, because that's what he's been. Great, terrible, injured, terrible, great. Okay,

159
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: I'm I'm really okay with not giving him one hundred

160
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: million dollar contract just to keep him in. Oh my goodness,

161
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: let's keep that Edwin Diaz. That's okay. I am okay

162
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: with him going. And congratulations to the Dodgers for for

163
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: forgetting Edwin Diaz. It's awesome. I'll get to see him here, sincerely,

164
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: I'll get to hear narcoly, I'll get to hear Narco

165
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: and you will be sweating him like we sweated ken

166
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: Lee Janssen for the seven year running. Had a Dodger closer,

167
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: you thought sweating Kenley's possible. This is gonna be sweating

168
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: like Robert Hayes an airplane in that, but he's just the.

169
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 3: Head like Kimberl and Jansen at the same time.

170
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: Oh, it's it's like they bought like some sort of

171
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: super vultron to throw right and lefty. That's how much

172
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna be sweating Edwin Diaz this year.

173
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 3: The curiosity is how do you follow up the magnificence

174
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 3: that he was. You mentioned the hit by pitches in

175
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 3: the wild pitch. Yeah, it got to fifteen in his

176
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 3: sixty six innings of work. Still a whip of about

177
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 3: point eight five, eight six whatever it was, and a

178
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 3: strong era four point six strikeouts per walk, all of

179
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 3: those metrics that are fantastic. And when we're talking about

180
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 3: the Mets, we're talking about the Dodgers, we're also talking

181
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 3: about a couple of teams that play in a different

182
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 3: it's the same game, different sport or vice versa. However

183
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 3: you want to do it, because there's only so many

184
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 3: teams that can play in the Hey, we have the luxury.

185
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 3: We already signed a reliever. What about this other guy. Yeah,

186
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 3: we could go in for that, but he wanted to

187
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 3: feel loved and evidently felt more love with the Dodgers.

188
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 3: Talk about change of scenery, opportunity, the winning and consistency

189
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 3: that is there versus some of the uncertainty in Metsland,

190
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 3: as we have the re signing of Babe Schwarber there

191
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 3: in Philadelphia.

192
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: But all of that to say.

193
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 3: Three for sixty nine. Look, last year, the Dodgers went

194
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 3: in on a couple of closers and they said, yeah,

195
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 3: that did work. That's fine, Let's do it again because

196
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 3: they can well.

197
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: And that's the thing, and that's the part about closers

198
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: that people don't get, is that just because you get

199
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: a guy with a great ear the year before, everybody

200
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: thinks that every every closer when they hit the big

201
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: time is Rivera and Hoffman, and they're not right. Oh,

202
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: Josh Hater. Josh Hater's not Josh Hater anymore. Right. You

203
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: get guys that they get up there, they have a

204
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: couple of big years, they get figured out, they're up,

205
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 1: They're down, They're up there down. That's how it goes.

206
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz is the quintessential superstar closer in Major League Baseball.

207
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: Year to year, his production varies wildly, and we're coming

208
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: off a big year. So okay, am I am I

209
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: okay with seeing him go? I am because because this

210
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: is how it goes with the relief pictures. You're you're

211
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: really you are trying to catch lightning in a bottle

212
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: with relief pictures every year. And we thought last year, right,

213
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: just for the Dodgers, all the look at this move

214
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, the Dodgers and Dodgers. Yeah, okay, yeah, great

215
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: move on paper. We were saying the same things last

216
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 1: year when it was Tanner Scott and all of a sudden,

217
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: they have three closers, and now, how are you gonna

218
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 1: beat this Dodger bullpen? Now they got three o'clock. The

219
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: end of the year, was anybody close? Roki Sasaki come

220
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: in and close. We have nobody else? Right, just when

221
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: you think they had it all settled, they were still

222
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 1: looking for guys, desperate for guys at the end of

223
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: the year. Just so when you understand Edwin Diaz, that's

224
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: kind of weird.

225
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 3: No, but that's it, right, it's but it's the ability

226
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 3: to adapt and move, recognize your your bad decisions. We

227
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 3: talk about it all the time, sunk costs of things

228
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 3: that went badly. Dodgers. Look at the guys that they

229
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 3: signed last offseason. None of them were active for the

230
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 3: playoffs because they stunk. They just said no, no, you

231
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 3: guys are we don't know no need you you know

232
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 3: Canfordo And I know a bunch of that money came

233
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 3: off the books is what people forget as well, right, Clayton, Kershaw,

234
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 3: Confordo like all this stuff. You know, you're looking at

235
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 3: players that it really amassed a pretty good pay rate

236
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 3: when it's all said and done. But for the Dodgers,

237
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 3: you look at the and evaluate what you have sasaki

238
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 3: by all estimations, right, where is the fourth or fifth

239
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 3: in your rotation this year? Right? And they'll move there

240
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 3: unless they have to do another break glass in case

241
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 3: of emergency, because you already have proof of concept that

242
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 3: it's not too big for him if he needs to

243
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 3: do that. But you had the opportunity to go into

244
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 3: the marketplace, Mets already signed a guy, and maybe Edwin

245
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 3: Diaz was a little salty about that because once upon

246
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 3: a time before you broke him and we had that

247
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 3: video that went viral a little bit. Thank you to

248
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 3: everybody that found that in TikTok and land in instagram

249
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 3: of you broke him, and now you get to bring

250
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 3: him back and try to repair him. Like the six

251
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 3: million dollar man. You know, it's a little more expensive, bigger, faster, stronger,

252
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 3: But it's that idea.

253
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: It's funny you say that. I actually listened to the

254
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: ninth inning of that game driving in tonight like I was. So,

255
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I'm cool man. You know what, Oh traffic,

256
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: I'm gona listening to ninth inning of the Mets Brewers

257
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,599
Speaker 1: from two years ago. I'll listened at ninth inning and

258
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: I'm and I'm calling this. I'm calling the play by

259
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: play for Howie Rose. This is not the dominant Williams

260
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: that we have seen before. It was great to put

261
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: me in a great coming out well, but sometimes sometimes

262
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: you go back and find your biggest wins.

263
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 3: And for Jason, that's that's where he decided to Listen. Dude,

264
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 3: I gotta go back to eighty five or two thousand

265
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 3: and five. That's all I got.

266
00:11:59,080 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: That's it.

267
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 3: Brighter days though. The White Sox have the number one

268
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 3: pick in the draft, but wow.

269
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: You know what on it? And I can be honest,

270
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: I thought, going on a go how long until Harmon

271
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: mentions the White Sas got the number one pick in

272
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: the draft? I said, first ninety seconds you made it

273
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: ten minutes. I was waiting. I said, you guys gonna

274
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: get in the first ninety. You're gonna get that in

275
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: now you make ten minutes.

276
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 3: But no, I mean deep thoughts here on Edwin Diaz. Right,

277
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 3: the greatness nice of whether the trumpetereer is now on

278
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 3: the team payroll, But I'd be.

279
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: Look, it's a it's a great signing on paper. He's

280
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: a terrific reliever, but he's not the model of consistency.

281
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: If he was, if he was year to year forty

282
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: saves an era under two and his war was three,

283
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: the Mets would have give him another hundred million dollars. He

284
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: would have stayed. But he's not. And I think the

285
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: fact that the Mets know him more than anybody and

286
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: they still said, well, we would like you if you

287
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: are this kind of guy. They feel they can eminently

288
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: replace him, and I'm fine with it. It was I

289
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: was a little upset to them. Everybody saw all the

290
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: Mets let him go. The Mets let him go, The

291
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: Mets have bigger problems in the ninth inning.

292
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 3: Well again, right, it becomes the you know what's the

293
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 3: tipping point? Was it a non engagement period that he

294
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 3: thought he would get more love, right, because feelings are real.

295
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 3: I mean, look at look at the guy. Look at

296
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 3: our guy, Bivaqua. He's still crying. I think he has

297
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 3: a press conference schedule for tomorrow morning to talk about

298
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 3: how Rudolph didn't get to play in the rain to

299
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 3: your games or something. So you know you've got that

300
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 3: part of it, the human side of it. Devid Williams

301
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 3: shows up and it's like, well, what about me? Like

302
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 3: why are we not taking care of me and my needs?

303
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 3: And whether it comes down to years and dollars or

304
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 3: there's a divide there. The Dodgers decided to give him

305
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 3: the the higher average value a twenty three a year,

306
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 3: and let's face it, it's Los Angeles. They win a lot.

307
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 3: You're gonna have a lot of opportunities, and uh, if

408
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,920

409
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 3: Does that get refurbished like a bridge, like every every

410
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 3: year they go and touch it up? I mean, I

411
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 3: gotta know.

412
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: So maybe the most unwise unretirement we've seen in the

413
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: NFL in quite some time. Philip Rivers. It is official.

414
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: He is unretiring from the NFL re member he walked

415
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: away in twenty twenty, his seventeenth year in the league.

416
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: He is rejoining the Colts on their practice squad amid

417
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: an injury crisis. It's left them without all of their quarterbacks,

418
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 1: right Anthony Richardson, Remember he was on the injured list

419
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: with a facial injury earlier this season. He's still not

420
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: ready to come back. Daniel Jones done for the year

421
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: with the torn achilles Riley Leonard week to week with

422
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: a knee injury. He worked out for the Colts last

423
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: night and on his forty fourth birthday, and the Colts decide, yeah,

424
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: we're going in on Philip Rivers right now. See this

425
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: is why this is a bad idea, because immediately.

426
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 3: Can you get mad about it? For me, it just

427
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 3: turns screaming.

428
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: You go and look at the Colts schedule and you say, oh,

429
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: this is not gonna go. How Philip Rivers thinks it's

430
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: gonna go. First of all, you're at Seattle on side. Now,

431
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: maybe he plays in that game, maybe not. Then he

432
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: got San Francisco, Jacksonville and at Houston. I mean, I

433
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 1: don't know if I want to watch game week eighteen

434
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: or if I don't want to watch, because my goodness,

435
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: the Texas right now are taking bets on sacks and interceptions.

436
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 3: I mean, this is his time to get rid of

437
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 3: the ball, that's the question. I mean, we've got to

438
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 3: be like one point four seconds gone.

439
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: Now, I'll give you there's a little bit of a

440
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: sliver of sunnyside before I tell you why this is

441
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: a horrible idea. Look, when the Colts got Daniel Jones

442
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: in the offseason, that's why I said, hey, they're my

443
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: long shot pick for the Super Bowl, because Daniel Jones

444
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: will work in this offense and they have enough playmakers

445
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: and he'll be able to do it. And what happened.

446
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: First eight weeks, Colts were great. They were the best

447
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: team in football. Right, they were one bed ad Ni

448
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: Mitchell drop ball away from being undefeated. Now the hard

449
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: times have hit and they're desperate because they went in.

450
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: They went in to get Sauce Gardner. They made a

451
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: big trade for that, and now that's not really working out.

452
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: That becomes a bigger thing for the future of the squad.

453
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: Right because you thought you had your quarterback set. Daniel

454
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: Jones is going to take a year. Oh yeah, you

455
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: wus to get ready. You don't make that trade for

456
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: a Sauce Gardener unless you think Daniel Jones is our

457
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: long term solution.

458
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 3: We're pushing all in. Yeah, we're going to try to

459
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 3: win it this year, four to five the secondary and

460
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 3: we'll give up those picks and now you're kind of

461
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 3: in Noma's Like, now, Daniel Jones will probably come back

462
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 3: on a song sweetheart deal. Yeah right, he'll.

463
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 1: Probably come back somewhere like what like probably another one.

464
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 3: Year fifty or whatever. See when he comes back together.

465
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: But it's I get the desperation and I get the

466
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: idea that romanticism of here comes Philip Rivers, Here comes

467
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. Here here comes Philip Rivers, who played okay

468
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: enough in twenty twenty. But you saw at the end.

469
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: He was at the end, and yes they threw the football. Well,

470
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. Look Hall of Fame quarterback, right, Philip Rivers.

471
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: He was great. He's forty four, he's been away from

472
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: the game for five years. Okay, understand that, Like a

473
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: lot of people get confused when, oh, they hear a

474
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 1: name and they look at the back of his football

475
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: card and say, we're getting a superstar. You're not getting

476
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: the Philip Rivers of two thousand and seven. You're not

477
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: get the Philip Rivers of twenty fifteen. Not in the

478
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers twel You're getting a guy who's been out

479
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: of the league for five years. And it's not like

480
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: he went out of the league at twenty two, and

481
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: he went on some kind of you know, walk about

482
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: and now I'm back. No, he's forty four, man, how

483
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: do you think this is gonna go? I really, I

484
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: want to know what the hell could he possibly have

485
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: shown them in his tryout to say, yes, we're gonna

486
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: sign Philip Rivers.

487
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 3: I don't.

488
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: There's guys on practice squads across the league that are younger,

489
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: that have more reps that you'd be better signing a

490
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: third string guy off of somebody's roster to bring him in, right,

491
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: I mean, this is not gonna go how you think

492
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: it is. I get that people love it because it's

493
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: a name from the past that's coming back. And when

494
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: you hear Philip rivers name, immediately you're five to ten

495
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: to fifteen years young here because you remember his prime.

496
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: So it sounds great to you. Whatever that that chemical

497
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: in your brain is that that makes you happy when

498
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: you hear about something in the past.

499
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 3: It's why you go, I got a good book on it.

500
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 3: It's it's fun.

501
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: It's why people, you know, when they get old, they

502
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: talk about the past because okay, because I was younger,

503
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 1: and oh things are better when I was younger. Yeah,

504
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 1: things are better when you're younger because you were younger

505
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: and you were more outgoing and doing things.

506
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 3: I get her. This is just five years right, we're going.

507
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: Back the philip Rivers. You are getting what do you

508
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: really think you're gonna get hurt?

509
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 3: I don't know what the hell are the Colts?

510
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: Like? I mean it, man, like this, like, I feel

511
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: like the Colts ran this team in the off season,

512
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: and they ran it really well, and all of a sudden,

513
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: the spotlight got on them and they wilt it because

514
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: they panic to make a big trade for Sauce Gardner

515
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: and now they panic to make this move for Philip Rivers.

516
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: And I'm saying, what are they doing they? Is the

517
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: world spinning too fast them? Because I think it is

518
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: because I don't know in what world. Hey, he's familiar

519
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: with the offense. Oh so other guys couldn't come in

520
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: and grab the offense. I mean yeah, they have good

521
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: playmakers and watch Daniel Jones come in. So I get

522
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 1: while you think, well, we can have a few guys

523
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: come in.

524
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 2: And do well.

525
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 1: But again, forty four not in football shit. You talk

526
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: about guys being in football shape, not being in football shape.

527
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 1: That are guys who are twenty four to twenty five,

528
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: but they miss a month and a half of training

529
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: camp and it's well, hey, god, have some time to

530
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: get back in. Really not gonna be this this player

531
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: until the middle later part of the season because they

532
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: missed so much. Got to get back in football. Show

533
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: five years he's been gone, and it's not like he's

534
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: been working out all the time. Hey, I'm ready to

535
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 1: come back. I'm ready to come back, ready to come back,

536
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: ready to come back. It's not Colin Kaepernick where you got.

537
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: I'm still working outs, still working out. This is he's

538
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: been coaching football and having more kids. And also, hey,

539
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: I'm ready, Like what, I don't understand what the Colts

540
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: think they're gonna get with this.

541
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 3: I don't.

542
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 1: I don't understand.

543
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 3: Seven and eighteen seconds before you h you mentioned Kaepernick

544
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 3: because I knew that would come up as it did,

545
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 3: just of course.

546
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: You know the guys that are working out right, not

547
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 1: not that you know Kaepernick's a bad idea too, because

548
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: he's been gone for even longer. What I'm saying is

549
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 1: that there's guys who are still working over George. Yeah, no,

550
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: I hear about the kickers all the time, Right, I've

551
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: been kicking on this high school field, waiting for the chance,

552
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: waiting for the chance. All of a sudden they call up,

553
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: they get a chance. Out of there, they're an all

554
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: pro kicker and they've got like a five year, fifteen.

555
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 3: Million, good old young way coup. He was out of

556
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 3: the league and then became accurate and then well he

557
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 3: was out of the league. But hey, he had a

558
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 3: good run.

559
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: Dude, he kicked the ground. Yeah, but he had ground.

560
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, until he kicked the ground.

561
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: He had a good run. He kicked the ground.

562
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 4: Man.

563
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 3: No, it's okay, but that's it will always be remembered.

564
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 3: We all want to be remembered one way. I mean,

565
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 3: how you're remembered. You can't choose. But for Philip Rivers,

566
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 3: it comes down to this, right. Obviously a lot's been made.

567
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 3: He and Stike and talk talk about the offense, similarities

568
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 3: of what he runs with the high school team that

569
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 3: just had its twelve and one season and everything else,

570
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 3: And yeah, I agree with you. There's probably a guy

571
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 3: on a practice squad, whether it's Bailey Zappi or somebody else,

572
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 3: that would be a more easily insert here. If you're

573
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 3: looking for a full full skill set, as it were.

574
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 3: Philip Rivers has it run in forever. He was a

575
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 3: guy that they couldn't run a quarterback sneak with, so

576
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 3: it's not like he's diminished in any of that part

577
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 3: of it. Can he drop back? Daniel Jones the last

578
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 3: couple of weeks on a broken leg, couldn't run either,

579
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 3: so they had to change the offense. I'm not saying

580
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 3: this ends well. It starts with Seattle. You can get

581
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 3: to run him out here against that squad, no, thank you,

582
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 3: But it's the I'm captivated by it for sure. I'd

583
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 3: love the behind the scenes. This is where I need

584
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 3: an end season hard knocks of Well, we call Phil.

585
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 3: I talked to Phil every week. Let's get inmate here

586
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 3: for work out. Look at the arm might still be

587
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 3: live and have four weeks in it.

588
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: Did they sit down Sunday night and say, okay, we're

589
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: gonna order food and no idea is stupid, right, like

590
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: no ideas to just put it up on the port

591
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: shout that someone said, Hey Burt Jones, Nah, Burt Jones,

592
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: long time ago. Yeah he was good. Yeah, but I'm no,

593
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, Okay. Mike Pagel no, Mike Pagel a

594
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: little too long ago, Archleister, no, non starter.

595
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 4: No.

596
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 3: Now with gambling, it's a bigger problem too.

597
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: Oh maybe now he can come back, though gambling is more?

598
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 4: Is more?

599
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: O kaid out and Philip Rivers. Hey, wait a minute,

600
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 1: hey wait wait wait wait wait, you might have something there,

601
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, Hey, twenty twenty was pretty good. Twenty twenty

602
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: was not yesterday. Okay, you're going back to the beginning.

603
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 3: Was in twenty four and eleven, I think was his

604
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 3: final touchdown to intersection ration.

605
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: And I remember him at the end. I remember him

606
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: in the last game of the playoff game. It's ooh,

607
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: he's he's he's done. No.

608
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 3: I mean, on the plus side, look, he might be

609
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 3: the human jugs gun for the the receivers there with

610
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 3: his high school squad. He might he might have been training.

611
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 3: I mean, if nothing else, he's chasing around kids and grandkids.

612
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 5: We know that.

613
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: When you go into your doctor's officer, you're getting exercise

614
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: while I'm chasing around my kid. The doctor goes, yeah,

615
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: not not even close. Oh, I'm chasing around my kids. Oh, Philip, great,

616
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: sign a contract with us. Yeah, come on in.

617
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 3: Oh no, I'm certainly not endorsing this from a football perspective.

618
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 3: I have many many questions from a fan, Give me,

619
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 3: give me some pom poms to cheer for a forty

620
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 3: four year old guy happy birthday yesterday.

621
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I hope it. I hope it goes.

622
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 3: But it's just not it'll go better than the Jets. Again,

623
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 3: it's not.

624
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: Oh, he could beat the Jets easy if he If

625
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: you would line him up as quarterback across from the

626
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,719
Speaker 1: Jets right now, he would he have beaten the Dolphins'

627
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 1: last Oh, I don't know about that. I think playing

628
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Dolphins, he could have beat the Jets.

629
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: They just gonna hand the ball off every time. That's

630
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: all you gonna do. I mean, right, how do people

631
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: think this is gonna go? I mean, I mean I

632
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: get the desperation.

633
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 3: No, no, no, But but that's the thing, right, it's

634
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 3: an absolute curiosity. I don't understand the vitriol towards it. Right,

635
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 3: And you're in a break glass in case of emergency,

636
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 3: and what's gone and transpired over the last month for

637
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 3: the Colts is about as much of an emergency situation

638
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 3: as we've seen from a team in a while.

639
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: I mean this, how do you think this is? I

640
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: mean week eighteen, I mean I can't. I mean that

641
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: game against the Texas, I'm gonna watch with with what

642
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: my eyes open and one eye closed, but one eye

643
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: like you're watching a horror movie when you're scared, and

644
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: you are, but I still want to see what's going on.

645
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: That's what I'm good. That's how that's we well.

646
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 3: I mean, you're hopeful that by then the Texans will

647
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 3: have wrapped everything up and everybody's sitting down and watching

648
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 3: like it's a bowl game.

649
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: Time not to find out what's trending in the wide

650
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: world of sports. You want to know how long Philip

651
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: Rivers has been gone?

652
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 3: How long?

653
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: Because Steve De Sager could be Philip Rivers kid. He's

654
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: got what's trending right now in the wide world.

655
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 5: Steve, that's the quarterback who won the last Charger game.

656
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 5: As I recall, in the playoffs, because you know, they've

657
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 5: won precious few playoff games in the past decade and

658
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 5: have not hosted a playoff game since they moved to

659
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 5: LA twenty seventeen, and as good as this season is

660
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 5: going may not be hosting a playoff game this year.

661
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 5: If you go back to recent history of Chargers football,

662
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 5: Philip Rivers name is all over it. But that whole

663
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 5: thing becoming a s finalists for the Hall of Fame. Yeah,

664
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 5: let's restart to clock on that one now five more

665
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 5: years away.

666
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: But that's when he gets on the field. If he

667
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: gets out there and sees against all, there's a bad idea.

668
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: I don't think he I think he still keeps that clock, right.

669
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: I think he's got his only practice squad now, but

670
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: he's on the active roster. Right, they have no quarterbacks,

671
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: so how does he not get up? Oh?

672
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly it, right, I'm saying.

673
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is there's three days to make three

674
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: or four days to make a different decision.

675
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 5: Here, put it this way. They have three injured quarterbacks.

676
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 5: Daniel Jones is having achille surgery this week. The backup

677
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 5: Riley Leonard has strained knee ligaments.

678
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 3: And yeah, you.

679
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 5: Mentioned the accident, shall we say, pregame locker room with

680
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 5: Anthony Richardson where a bar broke hit him in the face,

681
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 5: literally broke the orbital bone. And he's been slowly coming

682
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 5: back from that the last couple of months. These Colts

683
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 5: started the season seven and one. They've lost four and

684
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 5: five since. What you can't forget in this story is, yes,

685
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 5: Rivers hasn't played in five years. Bold type for that one.

686
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 5: But Rivers is a former Chargers quarterback and the Cold

687
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 5: Tag coach Shane Steiken was his quarterbacks coach there. Falcons

688
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 5: wide receiver Drake London missed practice again with a spring knee.

689

690
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,360

Speaker 5: the one going on right now. These are NBA Cup Quarterfinals,

700
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,040

00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 5: team to reach the NBA Cup quarterfinals in all three

711

00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: Bowl prediction we made going all the way back to

771
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: the end of last year, when we said, by next

772
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 1: trade deadline, Yannis is on a new team.

773
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 3: All right.

774
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: They tried to make it work. It didn't work. You

775
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: could see there was tension. They're going to make a

776
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 1: move now. This past offseason, Jannis sort of let it

777
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: be known he liked the Knicks. It didn't work out

778
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: because the Knicks, hiring a new head coach, wanted to

779
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: see how things went. We're gonna wait, Jannis. I'm sure

780
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: a little embarrassed by that. Dude, I'm Yannis. Okay, that's great.

781
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: Then he tried to say no, no, no, I don't

782
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: want to play there. Then a couple weeks ago, at

783
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: the start of the Buck season going poorly again all

784
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 1: Doc Rivers fault. Uh wow, we had We had the

785
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: final public reports that now Janis and the team are

786
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: talking about his future and that whether it involves him

787
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 1: staying with Milwaukee, you're going to another team. Just so happens,

788
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: on that day, Jannis gets hurt cath injury. He's out

789
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 1: two to four weeks. So he told you last off season,

790
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: by the deadline, Gianics is going to be traded. And

791
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: then we told you that night that Janis has played

792
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: his last game as a Buck because if you're trying

793
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 1: to trade for him and now you've gone so far

794
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: down that road that he can't stay at this point, right,

795
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,439
Speaker 1: you know it's not working. If there's all this talk

796
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 1: about wanting out, wanting out, how does he come back?

797
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 1: And you have the Shams Tarani report earlier today that

798
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,760
Speaker 1: says Bucks players are all feeling all the tension amid

799
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: Yannis's situation. Quote, we can feel the tension of play

800
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: here as he talks about his options with the franchise.

801
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: You don't come back and play after you this far

802
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: down the road. You know he is gone. And the

803
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: reason we said he's played his land this game as

804
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: a Buck is that the next month, it's two months

805
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: to the trade deadline, right, you think about it so

806
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 1: far away. Oh, it's got a couple of months. He's

807
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 1: gonna be out for the next month of it. Okay,

808
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: So if he's out for the next month, teams that

809
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: are gonna trade for Yannis don't want him back on

810
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: the floor. They don't want it back. No, no, no,

811
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: we don't. Don't show us he's healthy. We're fine, We're fine.

812
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: We want to get him in our building. We want

813
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: to be able to look at him and make sure

814
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: and monitor his his recovery. But we don't want him

815
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: back on the floor. You don't. We don't need to

816
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: worry about you putting him back out there showing us

817
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: that he's healthy. So you see this every day, it

818
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: just gets more and more to the end, the natural

819
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: conclusion that Giannis is gonna be on another team. It's

820
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: gonna happen by the deadline, maybe before then. Uh like

821
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: maybe you say, if he's cleared to come back and

822
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: he's feeling healthy, that's when the trade will happen. So

823
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: it could happen beginning of the new year, because anybody

824
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: that wants to get Jannis want him for longer and

825
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 1: not have to wait till the deadline. But he's played

826
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 1: his last game for the Bucks. I mean, I'm trying

827
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: to find a way to see a scenario in which

828
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: he's back out there playing for them again, and as

829
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: long as he's got more than one team that wants him,

830
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,959
Speaker 1: because the more the Knicks win, the less they're gonna

831
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: want to say, hey, we're gonna upset our team for Yanna's.

832
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: But there's gonna be a couple of teams out there.

833
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 1: He's got to have a couple of places he'd rather go,

834
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: at least for this year before they figure things out.

835
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 1: I don't see there being any situation in which, yeah,

836
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: we put them back out there, because then you're screwing

837
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: with the trade, because the trade is inevitable at this point.

838
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 3: Well, folks also saying, hey, Yanna's bought real estate. Do

839
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 3: you know that's the number one unless it's not unless

840
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 3: guys with a lot of money, you know, by real estate.

841
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 3: But all of how many real estate stories have we

842
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 3: heard the last like twelve years of all the guy

843
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 3: bought a house here on right and not getting trades.

844
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 3: It's got nothing to do with it. It's just a

845
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 3: guy that's diversifying his holdings of real estate, a good investment.

846
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 3: I mean, what are you gonna do? But it's for Yannis.

847
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 3: It's hit that point. We talked about it a lot

848
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 3: with the Bucks going back during his entire tenure. Right

849
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 3: we're in when you're thirteen of Giannis. He's not the

850
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 3: bright eyed young guy that he was once upon a

851
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 3: time when he was being introduced to taco places and

852
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 3: all of that stuff. They had that run up where

853
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 3: everything worked and they want a title. Otherwise, there's been

854
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 3: a lot of early exits, a lot of frustration, the

855
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 3: failed marriage with Damian Lillard. He gets hurt, goes back

856
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 3: to Portland, like all of these things that you've got

857
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 3: a system. Now you're ten and fifteen, you're tenth and

858
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 3: grasping its straws, trying to find some semblance of a

859
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 3: rotation that works. He's out a month and you lend

860
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 3: some of it to the all right, we need to

861
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 3: get something done. Whether he wanted Dock fired or not,

862
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 3: we don't know. But in terms of trying to get

863
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 3: the ancillary parts and make a trade, I don't have

864
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 3: the assets to go do that. So now it becomes

865
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 3: the inevitable. All right, where does he go to finish

866
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 3: out his career? Because as much as you want to

867
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 3: be loyal, as much as you want to run it

868
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 3: out and be that one team guy, at some point

869
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 3: you're bashing your head against a wall trying to break

870
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 3: through and get yourself back into a deep playoff run,

871
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 3: which is clearly not happening. With this roster.

872
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: No, sometimes you just get too far down row where

873
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: you know there's no way to get back from it,

874
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 1: and there's no way back from this. You imagine you're

875
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: Honis again saying, oh no, no, I'm good. I want

876
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: to stay dude, that's not happening.

877
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 3: Well, but he went in public before he got hurt,

878
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 3: right talking about how frustrated he was and he wasn't

879
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 3: used to losing at that rate, and that it was

880
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 3: starting to wear and certainly that snowballs

881
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,399
Speaker 1: Exit ab out a Fresca exit, swelling Dome, more NBA

882
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: on the way, but coming up next, a new crazy

883
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: part of the college football playoff controversy
