Speaker 3: Friend Mike Harmon. This time it counts well.

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: Where if this week has been any indication, we are

13
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: getting an incredible college basketball weekend of twists and turns

14
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: and conference championships and drama and intrigue and controversy going

15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: into selection Sunday. This has been the best college basketball

16
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: season in a while. And yes, it's kind of become

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: a one month a year sport, but boy, are we

18
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: going to get some kind of month. You have all

19
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: the top teams, all the heritage teams in the top

20
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: twenty five, and and you have controversy with Miami of Ohio,

21
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: and I mean, you put all these ingredients in the hopper.

22
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: Mike Carmon, we are on the cusp of some kind

23
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: of tournament.

24
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 4: Now, well, it's the beauty of it when you get

25
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 4: legacy teams, blue bloods as some might have called them

26
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 4: once upon a time, and the just the idea of

27
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 4: players who are sticking around a little bit longer. So

28
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 4: you're getting to know some of the names. They're becoming

29
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 4: more familiar again because of nil and the change there.

30
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 4: I cited the stat earlier, going from the mid majors

31
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 4: to the Power four. We're talking about an up up

32
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 4: is the juice to your earning power. Think about that.

33
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 4: We'd all love one year on the books to that.

34
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 4: But it's just the idea that we're seeing more. He's

35
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 4: a units watching what UCLA did. They lose a player

36
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 4: at injury. But Donovan Dent over his last seven games

37
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 4: seventy seven assists against six turnovers. Great game against Michigan

38
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 4: State today and seeing some of the kill but then he.

39
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: Got thrown out. Mc cronin threw him out at the

40
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: end of the game. He does that against Michigan State.

41
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 3: He throws it.

42
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean once they had that four point win solidified,

43
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 4: it's like, I think we're done. But yeah, it's just

44
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 4: that time of year. Where we start going that way.

45
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously you've got the World Baseball Classic and

46
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 4: some other things going on, the return of the NWSL.

47
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 4: For those that are into women's soccer, we've been watching

48
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 4: Caitlin Clark Team USA. She's back on the court. So

49
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 4: got a bunch of stories. And obviously the NBA has

50
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 4: given us some good, some bad, some ugly. Some people

51
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 4: still trying to coax out the last couple of minutes

52
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 4: of their faux vitriol over pam Adebayo. But here we

53
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 4: are on the precipice of a big tournament with a

54
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 4: lot of those names that you're familiar with, including a

55
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 4: lot of the coaches that take up a lot of headlines,

56
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 4: including the aforementioned Mick Cronin.

57
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: You know, and I got to thank one of our

58
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: one of our listeners here because you know, early in

59
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: the in the game, Danny Parlay, earlier in the shows

60
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: and early in the game, early in the shows, and

61
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: I said, listen, watching Arizona and the big win tonight,

62
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: Jaden Bradley with a Kobe Bryant like game winning shot

63
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: where he had no space. It was a bad decision,

64
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 1: he had no look. And he still finds a way

65
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: to you know, get hit a fade away driving to

66
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: the right side of the of the basket and and

67
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: win this semi final against Iowa State. Now Arizona's in

68
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: a Big twelve final. I'm like, I know I'm gonna

69
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: fall for Arizona again. I'm gonna pick him in the

70
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: NCA tournament and they're gonna lose. And there's a reason

71
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: why I have him on my never Again list, which

72
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: is teams I never gonna have picked to do anything

73
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: ever again. And I you know, we update it every

74
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: every few months when something happens, like I can't fall

75
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: for this team again.

76
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 3: I can't do it again. And I said, I know

77
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do it. I know I'm gonna do it.

78
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: And he sent me a list on social media and

79
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: he says, Jason, the list exists for a reason, and

80
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: he went back to three years ago when I first

81
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: put Arizona on my never again list.

82
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 3: He went back to.

83
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: March of twenty three and he said the list exists

84
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: for a reason where I said Arizona is now or

85
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: they never want to be, They're on my official never again.

86
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 4: List that I'm like, Okay, fantastic, I gotta be strong.

87
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 3: Now I can't. I can't.

88
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: I can't pick Arizona. I just gotta be strong. I

89
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: can't fall for it now. I could pick Saint John's

90
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: again because they really let me down last year.

91
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 3: I could pick Saint John's.

92
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: Again, and if they don't do it this year, then

93
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: I could put Saint John's im me never again list.

94
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 3: But I can put them on. But I can't pick Arizona.

95
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 3: I can't do it.

96
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 4: They lost out a spite last year and writing as

97
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 4: of earlier today, so late last night, early this morning,

98
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 4: they were on the betting odds anywhere from sixty to

99
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 4: eighty to one, depending on where you're shopping. Michigan Duke, Arizona,

100
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 4: Florida the first four squads, followed by Houston, Yukon, Illinois

101
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 4: they lost, and Iowa State big game, but loss. And

102
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 4: then you get to Purdue, Michigan State, et cetera, and

103
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 4: we start getting into the thirty to one shots and such.

104
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 4: We only have four teams better than ten to one

105
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 4: on the board right now.

106
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: I'll say it's gonna be some kind of selection Sunday.

107
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: And when you know, the MAC Commissioner tonight said he

108
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: expects two bids. You know, Hey, we're we're gonna get

109
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: our winner and we're gonna get Miami Ohio. We're getting

110
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: two bids on Sunday. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, you

111
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: kind of have to I read really well. You know,

112
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: we talked about it last night. It's a television show

113
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: and Miami of Ohio them getting left out. Really they're

114
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: great television. They're they're a team that people want to

115
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: come watch. Not that that needs to be the reason

116
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: why you put them on, because then you would you

117
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: would put Syracuse on even though they're terrible, right, you

118
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: put all tea people want to watch, But they're they're

119
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: such a story because are they this good? And you

120
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: could put him in the playing round. You put him

121
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: in the first four. We talked about it last night.

122
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: Put him in the first four against Auburn and let

123
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: Bruce Pearl and put a goat pro on him so

124
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: we can watch him or he gets to announce the

125
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: game and we get to see Bruce Pearl on the

126
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: sideline of this game, like we need to see. Hey,

127
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: if it's even if it's a social experiment, basketball experiment,

128
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: they've earned the right to be in the tournament, or

129
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: at least to win their way into the field of

130
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: sixty four. So yeah, if they're in the first roe, Ok,

131
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: you're in the first four. You can't really complain you lost. Well,

132
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: you won the MAC your regular season, but you lost here.

133
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 3: These are the rules.

134
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: But I have a hard time believing we're not gonna

135
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: get too MAC teams and you're gonna leave a team

136
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: like that that people want to see out of the

137
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: NCAA tournament.

138
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: Remember TV show.

139
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 4: But that's sid It's all about storybooks and trying to

140
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 4: find We're always looking for Cinderella. How do you just

141
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 4: bolt the door right, here's your opportunity, go figure it out,

142
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,679
Speaker 4: and if it blows up, then we have another piece

143
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 4: over here, and we keep building the wall against these

144
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 4: squad for future tournaments. I mean, that's it's very simple,

145
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 4: very simple.

146
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: You have thirty seven thirty seven in a row NHL

147
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: lineup in terms of these at large bids, it would

148
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: just seem foolhardy and I get it. The Ken Palm

149
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: rankings we talked about it earlier in the week for

150
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: those that missed it, full audio, full breakdown, but here's

151
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: your quick cliffs notes. The idea of an eighty three

152
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: to ninety ranking despite the lofty win loss total and

153
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: what they've been able to do. We talked about the

154
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: Freedom of Information Act that was filed to find all

155
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: the emails that were sent by the AD to go

156
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: and see if they can get somebody's scheduled. Guess what,

157
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: most people didn't respond. The others told them to go.

158
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 4: Pound sand So they did their best to upgrade the

159
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 4: schedule and they were rebuffed. And should they be penalized

160
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 4: for that? I mean, you can decide. But in the end,

161
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 4: if we're going through, hey, who are the last four

162
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 4: teams uply in, just grab one of them out of

163
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 4: that bucket, will you. We're not going to do the argument.

164
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 4: Let's not go through the charain waste our time. Pick

165
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 4: that name out of a hat? Why not just pick Miami,

166
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 4: Ohio and be done with it?

167
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 3: Ready for Sunday.

168
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, another day and word of another quarterback derby. We

169
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: are getting this summer in the NFL, right, Hey, so

170
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: its been it's been a while since we had a fun,

171
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: good quarterback derby. Well, this one is sort of fixed

172
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: because not only can I tell you who's going to

173
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: win it, I don't even think it's going to be close. Uh,

174
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: The Falcon said today that to a tongue of Iiloa

175
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: and Michael Pennix Junior will compete for the QB one

176
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 1: job with the Atlanta Falcons, right, I mean this was

177
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: today the Falcons gm Ian Cunningham said, Look, this is

178
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: why we brought him in. He's coming in to compete.

179
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: Michael knows he's coming in to compete. Everybody's coming in

180
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 1: to compete. So just we know there's competition. Now two

181
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: is going to be the starter Week one. I'll say

182
00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: it right out of the gate. And there's a couple

183
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: reasons why, something similar to what we're seeing what we're

184
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: gonna see in Minnesota with Kyler Murray and JJ McCarthy.

185
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: The Vikings aren't bringing Kyler Murray into be the number

186
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: two quarterback behind McCarthy. They're bringing him to be the

187
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: number one because they know they're not getting what they

188
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: need out of them and it was a bad draft pick.

189
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: The same thing can be said here for the Falcons,

190
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 1: to a tongue of Iloa is not coming in so

191
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: they can continue to go forward with Michael Pennock Junior. Right,

192
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: he's coming in. They want him to be the quarterback.

193
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: They want him to win the job. And so yeah,

194
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: he's going to win it because of two bigger things. One,

195
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: this is not a Falcons regime that drafted Michael Pennock junior.

196
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: This is new everything, new GM, new head coach. There

197
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: is no one with loyalty to him. When you draft

198
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: a quarterback, you are succeeding or failing based on how

199
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: he does. And if he succeeds, you're gonna stay. If

200
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: he fails, you're gone. That's how it goes in the NFL.

201
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: And conversely, if you haven't cut through and here comes

202
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: a new regime, they want to turn the page. You know,

203
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: they want to say, Okay, we want to put our

204
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: guys in there that we think can win. So there's

205
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: no loyalty to Michael Pennix Junior. Now the other part,

206
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: which is just as big, if not bigger. He's coming

207
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: back from a torn ACL week eleven. He keeps saying

208
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: he'll be ready for week one. Now, when you have

209
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: a guy saying you're ready for week one, what does

210
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: that mean? You're off season, You're not going to be

211
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: available as much because your plan is to be ready

212
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: for week one. Tua is coming in healthy, He's going

213
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: to get all the reps in the spring, at the

214
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: at the weekend pro passing camps, at OTAs, everywhere. He's

215
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: gonna get all the reps. He's going to all the

216
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: reps in training camp. He's going to get the reps

217
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: going into the games. It is really hard to lose

218
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: a job as a starting quarterback in the summer because

219
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: you don't see a lot of live action. You don't

220
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: see them playing the games anymore. And Tua's gonna get

221
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: all the reps because Michael Pennock Junior, who has been

222
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: injured his entire career in college and the pros, he's

223
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: not gonna get the reps. So two is gonna come

224
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: in as the starter and he's not gonna lose the job.

225
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: I mean, really, you got to be really bad to

226
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: lose a job when you're basically competing against it. If

227
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: you have the number one job in the summer, you're

228
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 1: keeping it week one. And the best thing for for

229
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: Michael Pennix Junior is to hope that at some point,

230
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: if to a place poorly, he's going to get a

231
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: chance at some point during the season.

232
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 3: And that's kind of how the Falcons.

233
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: This is how I would look at it, and I

234
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: guarantee you this is how they look at it is

235
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: that Pennix is almost like a rookie, right, Like, Hey,

236
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: we brought in our Bridge guy into a tongue of Iloa,

237
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: and we think he's gonna be really good. But if not,

238
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: we have a rookie we can give a shot to

239
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: now being a first round draft pick. You think Michael

240
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: Pennix junior have a little bit more than that, but

241
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 1: remember no loyalty, and if Pennix doesn't pan out, he

242
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 1: might not even see the field. So I guarantee you

243
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: Atlanta's looking at this is two is gonna be our guy,

244
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: and if something happens, we'll get a look at Michael Pennix,

245
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: who will have enough time to come back from his

246
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 1: injury to absorb the new offensive system and everything else

247
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: in the play akers and get ready. So if we

248
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: do go to him, we're gonna get one final look

249
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: and see how good he is if he's ready to go.

250
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 3: That's how this is all gonna go.

251
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just think you missed too much of the offseason.

252
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 4: You can be in the classrooms and and maybe start

253
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 4: moving a little bit, but you're you're not gonna be

254
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 4: game clear that fast. Right, You're not gonna ramp up

255
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 4: that quickly, nor are you gonna be able to get

256
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 4: live reps. And what's the biggest issue with with Pennix

257
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,599
Speaker 4: outside of the injury, he has not been good to

258
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 4: where he's earned the benefit of the data doubt to

259
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 4: just roll him out there with a new regime. Yeah,

260
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 4: go ahead, let's let's see how you go. You're coming

261
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 4: off your third acl uh and you struggled before you

262
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 4: got hurt. It's just bad business.

263
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: Uh.

264
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 4: And and given the fact that Kevin Stefanski just did

265
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 4: all this in.

266
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: Cleveland, you think he's gonna come in there and be like, yeah,

267
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: let's roll the dice with the quarterback position again, bringing

268
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: Toy in Like, Yeah, might have a guy who's been

269
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: struggling and he's gonna be seventy to eighty percent of

270
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: the guy that he could be. Yeah, that's a recipe

271
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: for starting a season where you have the opportunity potentially

272
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: to go compete for a division. You watch how they

273
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 1: finished this year, right, They was clunky, but they got

274
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: there and you have several of those big pieces back offensively.

275
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: Look the clock's running up. John Robinson. Eventually you got

276
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: to pay him so it's the tick to.

277
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 4: It's not the same money as a quarterback, but it's

278
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 4: still the same idea and the many weary miles that

279
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 4: go on the arms, all right, I should say the

280
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 4: legs and everything else of a running back and his

281
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 4: arms because he's gotta, you know, do the alligator on

282
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 4: thing to go catch the ball and all everything else

283
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 4: as he does touch the ball another one hundred times there.

284
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 4: But you get what I'm saying. It's you only have

285
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 4: so many times you're gonna be able to run him

286
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 4: to the four hundred plus touch mark.

287
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: And lastly, you're gonna do you know what, This might

288
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: be a wasted year, but gonna find out about Panix?

289
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 4: The hell with that man?

290
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 3: Blank? That man? I know enough about him, I know

291
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 3: everything I need to.

292
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 4: No, I mean, look, and maybe you don't one hundred

293
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 4: percent categorically, but are you Are you gonna run the

294
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 4: risk of throwing a guy out there who's not one

295
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 4: hundred percent healthy, because again, modern medical sciences is really

296
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 4: you marvel at it.

297
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 3: But the A C.

298
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 4: L was dorn in week eleven.

299
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be tough for a guy that has

300
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: a tough time staying healthy at all. Yeah, you know,

301
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: I mean not really. I mean there's I just don't

302
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: see that those three reasons. There's no loyalty why they

303
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: brought to it in. But really, he's not gonna get

304
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: a chance on the field. He's not Two is gonna

305
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: come in and he's gonna get all the OTA's. He's

306
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: gonna got to be well, I mean, what else can

307
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: you do.

308
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 3: I mean, they're there. It's gonna be very difficult.

309
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: He just has to stay ready, and I don't know

310
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: that that's not the best thing for him is to say, Okay,

311
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: clear your head, and you know you're gonna get one

312
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: last chance here with the Falcons to show that you

313
00:14:58,840 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: can be a franchise quarter.

314
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 3: Now. I don't know when it's gonna come. And maybe

315
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 3: it's not.

316
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: Because if two was really good, if he throws for

317
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: four thousand yards like he did a CU a few

318
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: years ago, and suddenly, hey, we found the right system.

319
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: Guess what, You're on a new team next year, but

320
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: you know you have one chance left and you want

321
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: to be able to say, okay when they put me in,

322
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: I'm at the my optimal physical health, mental acuity. When

323
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: it comes to knowing the new system with all the playmakers,

324
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: all the changes, whatever we do in the draft, the

325
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: new guys coming in, Like I know, I want to

326
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: be in a position to succeed, and I don't know

327
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: that it's position to succeed for him is coming in

328
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: and trying to win a battle in the summer when

329
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: he's not healthy against two of who's going to come

330
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: in and is healthy, and I'm sure will wind up

331
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: looking better because two has been around longer and he's

332
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: had more reps. So I don't know that that might

333
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: not even be the best thing for Michael Pennix Junior.

334
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 3: No, And that's it, And what do we know.

335
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 4: The revolving door of quarterbacks in the NFL, there will

336
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 4: be plenty of opportunities for him to show his whares.

337
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 4: I even if it's just whatever's on tape at this point,

338
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 4: there's gonna be someone that they can maybe garner one

339
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 4: more big run out of him. That's just the way

340
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 4: the NFL works. I mean, we go we talk about

341
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 4: it all the time. There were sixty five different people, Yes,

342
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 4: obviously some running backs and wide receivers on some chicanery,

343
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 4: but sixty five different people through a touchdown pass this year.

344
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 4: That number just keeps going up every season, so there

345
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 4: will be opportunities so long as he's healthy. But does

346
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 4: he get back on the field here, I'm not quite

347
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 4: so sure. If London, Pitts, Robinson and however else they

348
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 4: fill out, the receiving corps can do anything, and the

349
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 4: defense stays fast and healthy, they can go compete for

350
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 4: the division, which means Michael Pennixs Junior ain't getting his

351
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 4: job back.

352
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,480

Speaker 1: The United States moving on to the semi finals of

385
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: the World Baseball Classic. They beat Canada tonight five to three.

386
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: It has been survive or almost survive and get bailed

387
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: up by Italy in advance so far in the WBC,

388
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: but Sunday the toughest test yet again, I don't know

389
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: that we've seen a matchup on paper like this in

390
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: baseball history. The lineup of the United States, the lineup

391
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: of the Dominican Republican's, the best players in the game

392
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: up and down, the lineup advantage for the United States,

393
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: and the pitching department with Paul Skens against Lewis Severino.

394
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 1: But I mean, really, the level of talent we're going

395
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: to see in this game really has been unmatched. One

396
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: guy we're not gonna see, though, is Clayton Kershaw.

397
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 3: Oh yeah right.

398
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: His baseball career ended tonight with the win over Canada.

399
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: Never made it into the World Baseball Classic. Close he

400
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: got was warming up in the eighth inning of their

401
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: last game, and just a very weird final video bit

402
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: of him on TV. The last thing we've ever seen

403
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw walking off a baseball field was end of

404
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: the game.

405
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 3: The game on Fox.

406
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: I watched Clayton Kershaw walking into the and just a

407
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: wide shot not even of him, but just a shot

408
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: of him getting ready to walk in a dugout. He

409
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: tossed a baseball to somebody. Fox cut away and that's

410
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: the end of Clayton Kershaw's career, right, So that video

411
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: right there, just seeing that that's how it ended. Just

412
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: it's a big wide shot of Team USA guys going

413
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: into the dugout and here we cut to commercial. Here's

414
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw flipping the ball. Boom, They're gone. This is

415
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: how it for the greatest left handed pitcher I've ever seen.

416
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: And it's just weird.

417
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 3: It's awkward, it's it doesn't feel right.

418
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 1: And we talked to John Paul Morosi about this MLB

419
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: Network insider last hour and the associate and he said, yeah,

420
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: you know, I talked to Clayton before the game and

421
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: he said he felt at ease, very tranquil with how

422
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: it was going to end. He's so tranquil for him,

423
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: he had a beer in the middle of the game.

424
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm not pitching tonight because the game is too close.

425
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: You can't trust me, so hey, I'll have a beer

426
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: in the bullpen. But for a player like Kershaw to

427
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: end like this, it just feels wrong and it feels

428
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: awkward and it's odd. And I know that he came

429
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: at this with the best of intentions and it's not

430
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: his fault. You know, he retires from baseball or he

431
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: you know, we knew this year was his last year.

432
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: He has the moment final start, comes out of the game,

433
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: gets the big ovation, pitches one in one batter in

434
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: the World Series and it's a huge deal and he

435
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: gets the out in one of the great World Series

436
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: games of all time. Not many guys can write that exit,

437
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: but Clayton Kershaw was able to. But he says, ah,

438
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: I want to go one more time than WBC. So

439
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: he trains during the offseason, and he goes to the

440
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: World Baseball Classic and they take him because you know,

441
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: in the words of Mark De Rosa and the and

442
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: team USA, oh, we don't have to worry about anybody

443
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: paying any sort of insurance for him because you know,

444
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: he's not affiliated with the team, so of course we'll

445
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: take him. He says, I'm there to be an extra guy,

446
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: to be an arm at some point, and he never

447
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: gets into a game and they can't trust him.

448
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 3: He's clearly at the end.

449
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: And it's just for for Clayton Kershaw, for a guy

450
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: that good with that kind of career to end that way,

451
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: it just felt wrong, you know, to not get an

452
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: inning in the game at any point, to not start

453
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: an inning, to get one batter and then come out

454
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: and tip your cap one more time, Like for him

455
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: to be just a guy, and I'm just here to

456
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 1: be someone in case you need me like that. That's

457
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: not how That's not how all time greats go out.

458
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: All time greats go out trying to write that script

459
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: as best as you can. Sometimes you don't get to

460
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,479
Speaker 1: write the way you want to, but you could at

461
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: least script it as best as you can. Could have

462
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: walked away at the end. With the Dodgers, this is

463
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: just it just seemed weird, like, oh, yeah, he's pitching,

464
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: but he's not there.

465
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 3: Is he gonna play? He isn't. The whole thing was

466
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 3: just awkward. And I felt that way going in.

467
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: I felt that way middle of the tournament, and I

468
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: felt that way at the end even watching him walk

469
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: off the field.

470
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 4: Ye know, this really bothered you roughout the process. One

471
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 4: it's a dead roster spot ostensibly unless you're in a

472
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 4: blowout situation, which we only had one thus far for

473
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 4: the US where it was really out of swords, and

474
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 4: that goes back to the first game and well we

475
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 4: didn't see him. Then then we have the odd game

476
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 4: where he gets up against Italy and he's throwing, maybe

477
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,719
Speaker 4: just because he felt like throwing, But all of us

478
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 4: look at it and go, well, that's the Deroza game.

479
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 4: That's how it'll long forever be known unless they win

480
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 4: at all, and then it just becomes a nice afterthought

481
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 4: and chuckle. Can you remember how crazy that was? Haha?

482
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 4: And the hate and vitrel and there he is laughing

483
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 4: at you in the middle of the day on MLB

484
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 4: Network and related jobs he gets. But all of that

485
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 4: with Kershaw's like, maybe he just wanted one, like we

486
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 4: had someone right in saying one more catch with the boys,

487
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 4: maybe just the hey, I didn't get to do the

488
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 4: Team USA stuff. I've obviously had.

489
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: A lot of success and a Hall of Fame career

490
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: with the Dodgers, but I'd like to do this one more,

491
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: one more time and be Captain America one last time

492
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: before I ride into the sunset. Knowing that it's a short,

493
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: short thing to prepare for.

494
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 4: Right, he doesn't have to try to throw one hundred

495
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 4: and fifty innings, he doesn't have to try to be

496
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 4: available every every third day or whatever. You know, it

497
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 4: would to be taxed to if he was a member

498
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 4: of a Major League Baseball team. Maybe he wanted to

499
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 4: be away from his family in the spring because he

500
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 4: still hasn't figured out how to get to that. I

501
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 4: don't know. There's a million reasons. Maybe he wanted to

502
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 4: collect a bunch of memorabilia from guys around the games

503
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 4: and the combetitors. I don't hang out with the fans

504
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 4: here the fans one more time, sit in the dugout

505
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 4: and just or in the bullpen and experience it and

506
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 4: suck that up, that energy up one last time. I

507
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 4: don't know how to tell a guy how to feel,

508
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 4: particularly in this he's closing the chapter on it. Yeah,

509
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 4: would it be nice to?

510
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: And they will in the game on Sunday against the

511
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: Dominican Republic, they'll have a live arm and they've announced

512
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: the replacement and everything. But for Clayton Kershaw, that's it.

513
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: You know, he had his moment.

514
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 4: He got an in game beer. I mean, that's how

515
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 4: I'm gonna remember him. Clayton Kershaw, one of the hardest

516
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 4: red ass guys we've ever seen in Major League Baseball

517
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 4: in terms of his respect in the sanctity of the game,

518
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 4: is popping out of the dugout wall in the sixth

519
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 4: inning to grab a beer that somebody flips with them.

520
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 4: That's my lasting memory.

521
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 3: Don't need me anymore. Blank, you guys, I'm having a beer.

522
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have this beer, and it's gonna be the

523
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: first of many post career beers.

524
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 3: Really, you think he's only had one post career beer

525
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 3: so far? They had one?

526
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 4: No, no, no, but that's the you know, the longest

527
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 4: road begins with that first step, So now he begins

528
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 4: the long road of However, many small beers, like Benicio

529
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 4: del Toro had said, in one battle after another, small

530
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 4: beers come thereafter. This was a tall beer.

531
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it was. It almost looked like it.

532
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: It also like what was the like those new drinks

533
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: they get, like the what of the death waters? Right,

534
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: like when black death water and you know whatever it is, Yeah,

535
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: you're death, so liquid death? Yeah yeah yeah, uh black

536
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: death is the plague. So you know, if you're Dystopian movies,

537
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: something related to the black Death, drink this water. Doesn't

538
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: mean like no, no, no, you'll die. Oh well all

539
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: right that it furthers the plot. Drink the water. Yeah no,

540
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: So I mean like, but but this is this isn't

541
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: all time great, like Tom Brady, I mean if he

542
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: comes back to play flag football in two years. But

543
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: think about this, right, this is let's say Tom Brady

544
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: wants to play flag football for Team USA in two

545
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: years in the Olympics. Right, this is the equivalent Brady

546
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: greatest of all time. Everything else, this is Brady coming back.

547
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: And yeah, but you know what, man, you're only there.

548
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: He's only there in case emergency because Mahomes will be

549
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: the number one and Josh Allen's there too, And yeah,

550
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 1: he he doesn't really play.

551
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 3: He just sits on the bench and he just hangs

552
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,239
Speaker 3: out like. That's not how it needs to for all

553
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 3: time greats. It doesn't go that.

554
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: You know, you don't go in as hey, I'm here.

555
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 1: I mean, because there's a little bit of of of selfishness.

556
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: There's a little bit of I carried the.

557
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 3: Mail for so long.

558
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: It's why guys that that are that good don't go

559
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: out just like guys like, hey, I just want to

560
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: contribute here any way I can. It diminishes themselves a

561
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: little bit, and it's it's just it's just odd and

562
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: it's an odd way to say, Hey, I'll go out

563
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: to do this and I'll go play and I don't

564
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: know if Clayton Kershaw ever thought for a second he

565
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna play at any point.

566
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 3: Sure, Like, I mean really like you know you're gonna

567
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 3: you're gonna.

568
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: Spend off season staying in shape when you want to

569
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: get that post baseball dad bod going not like he

570
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: has that a big jump start on it the last

571
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: couple of years, because he has, but like you want

572
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: to get them. No, no, no, I still got a train,

573
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: still gonna do stuff, get ready for the World Baseball Classic. Well,

574
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be there in case they need me.

575
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: So you're not gonna play, Yeah, no, just in case

576
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 1: of ne me and and they don't use them, which

577
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 1: and and to go back to the beginning of oh,

578
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: we have the guy, because you don't have to pay

579
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 1: insurance for him. You're paying insurance for twenty five other guys.

580
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: You can pay insurance for one other guy you might

581
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: actually need to use in a game depending on how

582
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: it goes, Right, wouldn't you want pay insurance for a

583
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: guy that's a pretty good reliever that you can bring

584
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: in if a game goes twelve or thirteen innings, Then say, man,

585
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 1: we got to roll the dice and put Clayton Kershaw

586
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: in and I don't know, man, he can't get anybody

587
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: out right, I don't know, man.

588
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 3: This is kind of this, This is kind of dicey, right.

589
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 3: The last time we saw him was in the in

590
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 3: the warm up games where you look good. So wouldn't you.

591
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: Want to go and put a put a guy in

592
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: there if he's your break glass in case emergency that

593
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: you can actually trust to go out there and pitch.

594
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 3: Like, just all of this just seems so awkward.

595
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 4: At the end, early line minus one fifty five team USA,

596
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 4: and that's about a sixty one percent win probability, Clayton

597
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 4: Kershaw will be watching drinking many a small beer, perhaps

598
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 4: the rest of us.

599
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, I don't have to worry about pitching, dude.

600
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: You didn't have to worry about pitching before this. You

601
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: could have had beers every every single time.

602
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 6: Well, I mean he got up and he threw yeah, okay, okay, Again,

603
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 6: we don't know that he was really potentially gonna come

604
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 6: in that game or not, or hey, I just want

605
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 6: the cameras to watch me throwing one more time.

606
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but how do I get one of those baseballs

607
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: that he was throwing in the bullpen session.

608
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 3: Oh the last time.

609
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 4: A lot of times he almost pitched.

610
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: No, that ball he threw off the field to somebody like,

611
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: that's the ball last ball Clayton Kershaw ever had, Man,

612
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: I don't know we threw it. I want to go

613
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: back and watch the replay of that with I'm walking

614
00:28:58,280 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: off the field and seeing who he threw that baseball.

615
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 3: Two.

616
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 4: That's it, buddy, the big deal. I mean, as we

617
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 4: get ready for Sunday's big showdown, Clayton kershaim in it's

618
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 4: a hell of a run. I mean, he chose his

738
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,959

00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: go to the Jets next year.

740
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 3: It's not happening. Okay, Well, that was his opinion on

Speaker 1: New York Daily News, and said, all of this runs

744
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: counter to what I have heard, and that is that

745
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: wherever Arch Manning goes, if he goes to the draft

746
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: next year, it has taken. That's where he's gonna go.

747
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: Not gonna pull an Eli Manning. It worked for Eli

748
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: in two thousand and four, But wherever Arch goes, that's

749
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: not gonna happen, which, oh my goodness, gives me such

750
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: a big sigh of relief that I have something to

751
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: look forward to in twenty twenty six as we lose

752
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: games and the Jets and the Dolphins are wrestling tanking

753
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: for that number one pick. Okay, Arch Manning or Dante

754
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: Moore just got to finish first or second.

755
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 3: We'll get somebody really good. So this is what I

756
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 3: get up for in the morning.

757
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,480

00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:24,800
Speaker 1: gonna say no to the Jets.

759
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,279

760
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:28,760
Speaker 3: my carbon I'm excited.

761
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 4: The chaos could be he's still there. I mean, this

762
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 4: doesn't categorically rule it out, but look different times and

763
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 4: for the Manning continued media empire, empire to bring in

764
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 4: the next generation and get it started in the greater

765
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,200

767
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: in school. Remember, the Jets will be waiting the following year. Sure,

768
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 1: and so well the Cardinals and the Browns, all the

769

Speaker 4: All my lives are circled.

00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 3: And let's be honest.

773
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: And this gets makes it wider out as that it's

774
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: not two thousand and four when Eli Manning got drafted

775
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 1: by the Chargers, and then after he got drafted Archie

776
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: Manning his dad said, hey, guess what, my son's not

777
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: going here.

778
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 3: You gotta trade him.

779
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: He's not signing, And very quickly they worked out a

780
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 1: trade with the Giants who drafted Philip Rivers. They made

781
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: a trade worked out for both teams. Philip Rivers is

782
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer and he's got to wait five

783
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 1: more years because he played this year. Eli Manning won

784
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 1: two Super Bowls, so worked out for both. But if

785
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: you did that now and tried to manipulate the draft

786
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: and saying I don't want to be taken by this

787
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: team and I'm gonna hold out, that's not going to

788
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: be met with the same indifference or lack of a response.

789
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 3: Like it was an four.

790
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: The NFL and NBA is not going to let anybody

791
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: dictate terms of where they get drafted, who they'll play for,

792
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: who they won't play for. Like it was a surprise

793
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: with Eli Manning and it got taken care of pretty fast.

794
00:37:56,120 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: But if that happens now, if anybody did that, NFL, NBA, yeah,

795
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: that's Roger Goodell, that's Adam Silver who wants to do nothing.

796
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: But this is Roger deal coming in saying, yeah, this

797
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: is the draft, that you play here or you don't

798
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: play anywhere, and there's there's some sort of unspoken agreement

799
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: that you stay here, and this is gonna be your

800
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: team and you make it work like it's not gonna

801
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: They're not gonna let the player open the door to

802
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 1: a player saying, hey, oh.

803
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 3: He did he did that in twenty twenty seven. I'm

804
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 3: gonna do it in twenty twenty eight. I'm gonna do

805
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 3: it this year.

806
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: And suddenly now you have five or six guys a

807
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: year saying I don't want to play here, here, here,

808
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: this is where I want to play. It would be

809
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: met with a completely different response if that happened now.

810
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 4: It's also a much different environment than that. It's not

811
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 4: gonna you wouldn't be able to go run and hide, right.

812
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 4: Social media is gonna remind you that, uh, everywhere you

813
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 4: go the Eli Manning stuff so long ago, and no

814
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 4: it's still Internet era, but certainly not. The blog is sphere,

815
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 4: Twitter and all these other mediums by which that stuff

816
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 4: reverberates and gets brought up at every possible moment. Back then,

817
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 4: I was like, all right, it happened, It was reported

818
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 4: in newspaper, it showed up on Sports Center, Sure, sports

819
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 4: Talk Radio talked about it a bit, and then it

820
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 4: went away. And he goes on to a Hall of

821
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 4: Fame career eventually, and a couple of Super Bowls and

822
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 4: all these other things that it gets forgotten. Think about

823
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 4: the John Elway situation, same thing, right, How often does

824
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 4: that get brought up? I think we bring it up

825
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:18,800
Speaker 4: more than anybody.

826
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was nineteen eighty three, you know what I mean.

827
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: But it was that great class, and we always talk

828
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: about what a great class was and that's just an afterthought.

829
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he threatened to go play for the Yankees.

830
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: Wait what Yeah, so all of these things, like it's

831
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: just a different time now, you know, in terms of

832
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: running and hiding, and it would really test the metal

833
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 1: of a guy, right, or or a woman if they

834
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 1: did it for the WNBA draft or whatever else or

835
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: soccer or wherever. But same kind of idea of like,

836
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: you're you're gonna get worn out by people online and

837
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: pundits and probably gonna get asked about it a lot,

838
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: so you know, you can't run and hide here and

839
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: again all of those bad, bottom feeding ta ts are

840
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 1: gonna be waiting for you the following year.

841
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 3: Now.

842
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: The other bizarre story is the Max Crosby tattoo. Guy

843
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: Guy's going viral the last twenty four hours that after

844
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: the Ravens agreed to trade for Max Crosby got a

845
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: full back tattoo speaking of Thomas Harris and Silence of

846
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,720
Speaker 1: the Lambs and Red Dragon, a full Max Crosby Ravens

847
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: back tattoo, like full, like entire back. When I saw this,

848
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: I thought it was fake. But apparently it's real because

849
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: it's been tweeted out by a bunch of people. And

850
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 1: uh now he's got to figure something out because he's

851
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: got Max Crosby's face and number ninety eight. Maybe find

852
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: a way to you know, fix the number or fix

853
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: the face something else. But I looked at that and

854
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I mean, I don't understand how

855
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: you have that kind of love for a guy that

856
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 1: joins your team for a half second. But if you

857
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: paid me a million dollars, I wouldn't get a whole

858
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: big back tattoo that way. A ten million maybe I

859
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 1: do it, But but a million dollars for a back

860
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: tattoo like that, no, I'm not doing it. Well, I

861
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 1: think a couple of folks had ideas of what they

862
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: you'd get if you did take the million.

863
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 4: Okay one it would be the Curtis Martin handshake.

864
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, if I got anybody would be Curtis Martin

865
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 1: number three's it would be Curtis.

866
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 4: Mart It would be the Charles Woodson Showdown I n

867
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 4: or number three. It would just be like a Broadway

868
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:21,720
Speaker 4: Marquis sign, that says Jason Mason.

869
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 1: Oh could be that, sure, sure, wow, somebody somebody that

870
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: knows my career there, or it would just get like

871
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: Tom Seavers forty one.

872
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 3: Oh that would that would be That would be the thing.

873
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 3: But I still wouldn't do that.

874
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 4: I said, what a million dollars.

875
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 3: Exit?

876
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,440
