1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox sportsdo well. Tonight's show devoted to

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: Lars Neutbar. I just like saying that name, Lars Nutbar.

3
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 1: You know, Lars Nutbar has nine home runs and thirty

4
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: five career games against the Cubs, twenty against everyone else. Yep,

5
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 1: Lar's Neutbar. By the way, Shoho Tani now has thirty

6
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 1: nine home runs on the season and over the last

7
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: fifty years. The only American League players with more home

8
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 1: runs before the end of August. Aaron Judge and twenty

9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: twenty two hit forty two last year, and Ken Griffy

10
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,919
Speaker 1: Junior had forty one twenty five years ago. And if

11
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: you're scoring at home, and I hope you are, William Hill,

12
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: the bookmaker here in Las Vegas, has established seven to

13
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: one odds that Shoheo Tani hit sixty three home runs,

14
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: passing Aaron Judge sixty two last year. And on that note,

15
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: that's right, you heard the man time a week. My

16
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: name is Bernie Fratto. We're coming to you live from

17
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: the tyrac dot com studios here in Las Vegas, Fox

18
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, tire rack dot Com. We'll help you get there.

19
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: Unmatt's election fast free shipping free, roodazard protection, and over

20
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: ten thousand recommended installers tyraq dot com. The way tire

21
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 1: buying should be got two words for you, Not Shojo Tani,

22
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: Arti Moreno. Tip of the cap to Ardi Moreno for

23
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: not doing something that would put him on the ISSH

24
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: list for most Angel fans for at least the next

25
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: four hundred years. Now you can accuse Arty Moreno of

26
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: being more concerned about his public perception than he is

27
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: on winning not buying it. You've heard me scream from

28
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: the mountaintops for the past six weeks. Do not trade Shohotani.

29
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to revisit that in just a second. And

30
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: now we come to find out that most of Moreno's

31
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: closest friends in Major League Baseball total me'd have to

32
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: be no if he treated Otani. And part of the

33
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: reason is it really wouldn't be worth the hatred of

34
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: the fans if he dealt Otani. Real simple, If Otani

35
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: ultimately elects to leave as a free agent, that's on

36
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: him providing the Angels at least make a herculean effort

37
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: to sign him. And they may not be the top bidder,

38
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: but if they come up with something along the lines of, well,

39
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: you know, like ten years, five hundred million, eleven years,

40
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: five hundred and fifty million, and he ends up going

41
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: somewhere else. Well, thems, the breaks, he takes, your chances,

42
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: your places, your bets, thems, the breaks. And if Otani

43
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: is traded though, well that's amarno. And since we now

44
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: know and we've known that Otani actually wanted to stay

45
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: through at least the regular season, we realized that you

46
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: could get this theoretical haul which people seem to talk about,

47
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: but the reality of it is it's always theoretical. And

48
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: remember this that I'm hearing that no, Tani loves living

49
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: in California, would only want to play for a California team.

50
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure it's not the Padres, and I'm

51
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: pretty sure it's not the oaklan A's that would leave

52
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: the Giants, Dodgers and Angels, and I'm not so sure.

53
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 1: He's not so comfortable right where he's at. So let's

54
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: see what happens. And in the meantime, the Angels are alive. Yeah,

55
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: they lost to Toronto Friday night, but we're nowhere near

56
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: Labor Day. And as long as they're around five hundred

57
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: on Labor Day, they're going to see a cluster of

58
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: team someone's gonna get hot, win seven in a row

59
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: and find themselves earning that last wildcard spot. And if

60
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: you got your one two stars Atani and Lucas Giolito,

61
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: well you know what, that team could be dangerous. But

62
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: we're way ahead of ourselves because my premise has been

63
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: all along that trading for this quote unquote haul and

64
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: air quotes is always theoretical. Let's take a look at

65
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: a little revision as hist Let's go back seven years

66
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: when Brian Cashman, who'd been the gem of the Yankees,

67
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: well he's still the geam of the Yankees, has been

68
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: there since nineteen ninety eight. The Yankees in twenty sixteen

69
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: were poised to win, but they are around five hundred

70
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: near the trade deadline, and everybody said, well, you better

71
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: go into celbo. No, we're the Yankees. We can't go

72
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: into the cell modes. Just simply look at our pinstripes.

73
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: We don't do that. Well, Cashman defied the odds went

74
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: into cell mode in twenty sixteen, and they had three

75
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: stars on that team. Are Allas Chapman, who they traded

76
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: to the Cubs, Andrew Miller, who they traded to the Indians,

77
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: and Carlos Beltran, who they traded to the Rangers in

78
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: exchange for eleven players. Now here's what's interesting. In return,

79
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: as part of those eleven players, Cashman received what, at

80
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,119
Speaker 1: the time, according to MLB pipeline with the number one, two, seven, eleven,

81
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: and sixteen prospects in all of baseball and other moves.

82
00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:00,799
Speaker 1: All right, check that and other words, this deal quote

83
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: unquote vaulted the Yankees farm system to the best in

84
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: the league. Let's fast forward seven years later. All those

85
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: eleven players, you can't even name ten of them. The

86
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: only one you can name is Glabor Torus. That's it.

87
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: Ten of the eleven. Remember the legendary Justice Sheffield or

88
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: Clint Fraser. Okay, let's not go down that road. And

89
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: by the way, how many World Series have the Yankees

90
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: won since twenty sixteen? That's why it's theoretical. The long

91
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: and the short of it is, you've got yourself this

92
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: generation's babe Ruth. He's not a once in a generation player.

93
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: He's not a once in a lifetime player. He's a

94
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: once in a century player. And really, if you unpack

95
00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: the ideology, behind trading an established star because you're not

96
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: winning as quickly as you wanted to for a group

97
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: of potential prospects. And you know what that world where

98
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: potential translates to in French, it's rare when it actually

99
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: works out. And I have a theory. I think there's

100
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: an obvious explanation why most trades. When you get these

101
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: giant halls and don't tell me about the Herschel Walker trade.

102
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: You cannot equate the NFL or the NBA to Major

103
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: League Baseball, entirely different dynamic. And you hear Colin say

104
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: they should trade it for a bunch of draft picks,

105
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: and I'm sure Colin might have had a bad day

106
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: that day. You can't trade draft picks in Major League Baseball.

107
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: But again, let's not go down that road. There's an

108
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: information gap when teams make a trade. Here's what I mean.

109
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: If you're the team that watches the player every day,

110
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: you're going to know more about that player than those

111
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: that want to trade for him, especially those quote unquote

112
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: prospect rankers. Well, my theory is this information gap exists,

113
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: and it's because only the team that owns the player

114
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: before he's traded knows that individual's makeup. They statistically understand

115
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: what the player can do. Everybody can see that, but

116
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: the team that owns him at the time understands everything

117
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: about that prospect and their individual quirks, and they have

118
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: a better opportunity to forecast that future. I mean, there

119
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: have been gms that have spoken out so yes, quote, unquestionably,

120
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: teams know much more about their own guys from their work, habits, lifestyle.

121
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: You know their individual habits, the way they look in

122
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: the weight room, how they eat in restaurants, their eagerness

123
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: to get better, their mental intangibles, how they respond during slumps,

124
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: their adaptability when things aren't going well. Teams have day

125
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: to day access when they have a chance to observe

126
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: those traits. Right, So the organization that has that ten

127
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: player haul trades with an Otani team, well, you don't

128
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: know what you're getting until you get them. And the

129
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: truth of the matter is, if they're letting those guys go,

130
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: there's a reason. Okay, And so I know that might

131
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: sound simplistic, but the reality of it is. And I

132
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: just gave you a classic example of what the Yankees

133
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: did in twenty sixteen when it came to Brian Cashman,

134
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: and obviously there is no revisionist history. You can see

135
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: how it worked out. And even the Yankees now we're scuffling,

136
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: and Ellie de la Cruz continues to be a marvel.

137
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: What if Ellie de la Cruz could pitch, will he

138
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: be Otani? And four or five years from now, if

139
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: the Reds haven't won any thing, you think they're gonna

140
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: get itchy. Remember the Angels got Otani on a bargain.

141
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 1: And I don't make me go back into the Harry

142
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: Frozy selling Babe Ruth to the Boss to the Yankees

143
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: back in nineteen eighteen so we can finance to play

144
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 1: No No on a net. That was ruth sixth year.

145
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: It was the first year he became a full time hitter,

146
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: hit three twenty two to twenty nine home runs. You

147
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: might say, well, it's a big deal about that drove

148
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: in one hundred and thirteen. Well, that's the time entire

149
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: teams were hitting twenty nine home runs. By the way,

150
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: Ruth was ninety two and forty one as a career

151
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: pitcher two point two eight era. People say Ruth had

152
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 1: never swung a bat. His pitching exploits would have got

153
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: him into the Hall of Fame alone, microscopic in the

154
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: postseason well, Tani coincidentally his sixth season. Artie Moreno may

155
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: have had his personal interest in mind, but Angel fans

156
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: will benefit from this. They're going to be treated to

157
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: a penn and race. It's entirely possible. Tani in fifteen

158
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 1: home runs in June. Let's say he has forty by

159
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: the end of August, or right, check that July, he

160
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 1: hits one more on the you know, over the weekend

161
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: and Monday hit into August first. He would only need

162
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: twenty two home runs eleven in each month to tie Judge.

163
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,119
Speaker 1: You want to see him do that in another uniform.

164
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: I believe the Angels are going to rally and make

165
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: a run here they get to the Promised Land, but

166
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: they're going to give their fans a thrill. Remember, owners

167
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: are obligated to put the best, most competitive, most entertaining

168
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: team on the field, put butts in seats. How do

169
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: you do that without Altani? This is show business. He's

170
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: the greatest showman in baseball right now and again in

171
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: this man's Major League Baseball. With the playoff format, if

172
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: you're merely five hundred on Labor Day, you are very

173
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: much in the hunt. Atani's only twenty nine years old.

174
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: Come on, he's entering his prime. He's got many serviceable

175
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: years left. And just because they don't win this year,

176
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: you continue to build around him. Very happy, very happy.

177
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: What Ardie Moreno did. Not only did you say, we're

178
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: not sellers, we're buyers, and they pick up Lucas Giolito

179
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: quality guy. So onward and upward, trot will be bat

180
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: Anthony Rendon, feel free to step up at some point.

181
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 1: You know. I know you're a slap hitter when it

182
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: comes to fans. Grable bats. Square it up. Come on,

183
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: now earn your money. By the way that I believe

184
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: the Angels before two, they will pick up Jamaric Candelario,

185
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: a third basement for Washington. Spent some serviceable years with Detroit,

186
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: and here's a guy who is an above average bat.

187
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: They don't have to break the bank to get and

188
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: it seems ironic that they'd be shopping for a third baseman,

189
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: but they are given their situation. So I love what

190
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: Ardi Moreno did. I love what the Angels are doing.

191
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: And I would just say this Morano knows it is

192
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: show business, and I don't know how you trade the

193
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: showman and sell that to your fans at the end

194
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: of the year if they lose them, if they make

195
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: every available effort to sign this guy, which they will,

196
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: and I'll give it at least a fifty to fifty

197
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: that Otani stays with the Angels. Has anybody heard him

198
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: say he's the goat or the king? Like Lebron who

199
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: wants to be paid. He wants respect, give me my respect. No,

200
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: he just shows up every day and plays with a

201
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: smile on his face. How do you know he's driven

202
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: by money. I think he's driven by lifestyle. And it's

203
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: not a pressure cooker Anaheim like it would be in

204

Speaker 1: Dave here Pancy. Hello to Matt Parol. Matt, how are you, buddy?

242
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 4: Good Friday night, sir, how.

243
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: Are you good? Good to have you back. And I

244
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: want to talk some Patriots because I have a good

245
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: vibe about them. I think people are going to sleep

246
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: on the Patriots. Man. I want to start at the

247
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: top and we'll work backwards. The Patriots were disappointing last

248
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: year with an eight nine record, but eight wins would

249
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: get them over the win total. This year, I believe

250
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: they go over their win total. What do you say?

251
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 5: Look, their buy is in a perfect spot. Bill O'Brien

252
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 5: is back to run this offense. And if the reports

253
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 5: are accurate that Bill O'Brien's going to go back to

254
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 5: a run oriented offense with play action, which is what

255
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 5: Mac Jones thrived in. This team has a chance to

256
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 5: be competitive. Now what is competitive. Nine and eight is

257
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 5: not a horrible number. It's not what Patriot fans are

258
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 5: used to seeing. But it's all going to depend for

259
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 5: me how they open up. I mean the Philadelphia Miami

260
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 5: at the New York Jets at Dallas four spot to

261
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 5: start the season will dig tit a lot. If they

262
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 5: can go two and two during that stretch, then I

263
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 5: think we got a shot because the schedule does get

264
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 5: a little a little bit easier as it goes. You

265
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 5: know through the season New Orleans in Las Vegas, you

266
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 5: got the Bills in Miami. But then later in the

267
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 5: year you got games against you know, teams like the

268
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 5: Giants that he might be able to take a W one.

269
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 5: So it's a really hard schedule. I get what people

270
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 5: are down on the Patriots, down on the offense, down

271
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 5: on the defense in the secondary, and what the Patriots

272
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 5: looked like, you know at times last year with just

273
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 5: being inept, But I don't think it's wrong. I think

274
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 5: you know, it is Belichick still and they're going to

275
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 5: have their offense back, and I think that could really

276
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 5: help them They're not going to be fun now, Okay,

277
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 5: it's going to be twenty seventeen football, But I think

278
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 5: they can squeak out more of those one score wins

279
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 5: that they lost last year.

280
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: Agree, And I think MATC. Jones now has the best

281
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: supporting a cast he's had his first three years. And

282
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: I'm glad you segued into Bill O'Brien. Matt Patricia is

283
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: an abject disaster in my opinion, in fact that he

284
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: was a so just that alone, shouldn't that be worth

285
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: a win or two over last season because not only

286
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: does Bill O'Brien know what he's doing, but he brings

287
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: a different vibe.

288
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 5: Oh, it's worth more than a win or two. I

289
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 5: think it's worth a lot. I mean, if you look

290
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 5: at the games the Patriots lost, you know, well when

291
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 5: they scored, you know, in games last year where the

292
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 5: Patriots would traditionally be able to put up twenty one

293
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 5: to twenty four points, they were struggling at times to

294
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 5: get to seventeen. I mean, they were struggling to just

295
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 5: run a basic offense. They were struggling to just move

296
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 5: the football in the NFL. And I don't blame Matt

297
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 5: Jones for flipping out. I know people called him a baby,

298
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 5: called him, you know, saying that he's just a prima donna,

299
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 5: and the he now thinks said because it's tougher in

300
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 5: the NFL. It's not like Alabama where he's throwing to

301
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 5: DeVante Smith anymore. He has to actually work and try

302
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 5: to really show off his talents. But I think this team,

303
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 5: with Bill O'Brien at the helm, Belichick can go back

304
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 5: just focusing on the defense, and that's where you need

305
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 5: him to be there with Matthew Judon and company to

306
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 5: really get that secondary life. Because look, the Patriots are

307
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 5: going to run the ball. They're going to be in

308
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 5: tight football games all year. But I think they have

309
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 5: a chance to beat teams even in their own division

310
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 5: like Buffalo and Miami playing that style of football, in

311
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 5: particular with their home games. If they can go three

312
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 5: and three in the division, I think they're going to

313
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 5: wind up going over their seven and a half wins.

314
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: Man. How do you expect they'll use Juju Smith Schuster

315
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: and how much he helped Taekwon Florton, who's got a

316
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: lot of speed, and if those two can stretch, they

317
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 1: feel a little bit that opens up running things.

318
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, from all reports coming out of camp that Juju

319
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 5: is going to be in the slot and the Patriots

320
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 5: are going to use a lot of passes over the middle.

321
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 5: Had him not really be a home run hitter, but

322
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 5: have him be a possession guy.

323
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 4: He's going to get a lot of balls on his way.

324
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 5: So as a veteran leader and a guy that normally

325
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 5: plays more productively when he is a major part of

326
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 5: the offense, like most wideouts, him and Mikah Siki are

327
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 5: going to be major weapons. Devonte Parker is going to

328
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 5: be on the outside as well for the Patriots, but

329
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 5: they're going to look to throw the ball between the

330
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 5: numbers a lot like they've done previously and then won

331
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 5: the ball and use Stevenson and company and use their

332
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 5: Stabler running backs and what they need their offensive line

333
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 5: to keep producing and to keep developing. They've got a

334
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 5: couple of young kids on that line. If they can block,

335
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 5: if they can road grade and then protect mac Jones,

336
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 5: they're gonna din condunk up and down the field. But

337
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 5: they'll move the ball a lot more effectively than they

338
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 5: did last year.

339
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: Someone under the radar a their Patriots ranked tenth in

340
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: the NFL last season and points allowed. Defensively, they returned

341
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: most of their key players, which means they have more

342
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: experience playing together. I think their Patriots defense will be

343
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: above average this season.

344
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 5: Your thoughts, Oh, I totally agree with that. I mean,

345
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 5: I think in the secondary, they've made some major drafts

346
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 5: and drafts capital and guys in the secondary. Matthew Judon

347
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 5: is in the conversation, maybe not the best defensive player,

348
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 5: but he's worth to mention as being one of the

349
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 5: best defensive players in the NFL as he continues to

350
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 5: the develop his pass rushing ability, his run stoppage. They've

351
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 5: got a good defensive front and they've got linebackers who

352
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 5: can cover and run. So I mean, their safeties have

353
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 5: been very good. There's obviously some issues with a couple

354
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 5: of guys. Legal issues will figure out later on in

355
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 5: camp for the Patriots, but their defense will carry this team.

356
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 5: I mean, if they're going to be an over five

357
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 5: hundred football team, it'll be because of their defense, not

358
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 5: because of.

359
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: Their offense exactly. But the rumor mill echo chamber still

360
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: has a potential for Dalvin Cook going to the Patriots,

361
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: even though it looks like he's leaning towards the Jets.

362
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: How do you think that Ferret's out.

363
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 5: I don't think the Patriots are looking to grab a

364
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 5: hold of disgruntled guys who just want to come in

365
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 5: and can get a paycheck. Because Ramandre Stevenson's a three

366
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 5: down back and the Patriots love him. Belichick loved him

367
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 5: as long as he stays healthy. Like if Cook was

368
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 5: on the if Cook was available and Stevenson got hurt,

369
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 5: then I could see them potentially entertaining the idea. But

370
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 5: like as a Patriots fan, I'm all in and him

371
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 5: going to the Jets. Send every big name player to

372
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 5: New York, two hard knocks, to have all the distractions,

373
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 5: have all the money coming on the Jets. I'm perfectly

374
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 5: comfortable with everybody riding the Jets over when the Division,

375
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 5: when the conference, when the super Bowl. Bet it till

376
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 5: you're blue in the face because it's not happening.

377
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to come to that in a second, and

378
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,479
Speaker 1: it's my understanding. We'll see that the Pats are going

379
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: to bring in Cook to talk next week, and Ramandi

380
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: Stevensid said he wouldn't mind sharing the load with him.

381
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: It looks like Cook would back him up. But your

382
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: points are valid. Matt In terms of Dalvin Cook, let's

383
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: flip to the Jets because they're the media darling right now.

384
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to crown them. Obviously, there are expectations

385
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: that the Jets have that the Pats don't. Would not

386
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 1: surprise me at all if the Pats split with them

387
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: this year. Your thoughts, no, I agree.

388
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 5: Look so here in town for those guys don't realize,

389
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 5: we have these football fit contest, right So we're running

390
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 5: a practice service. Dave's the Dave Sheriff and I are

391
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 5: signing people up. We're seeing people come in from all

392
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 5: over the country. They all want to talk about the Jets.

393
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 5: Everybody wants talk about the Jets. Aaron Rodgers, here comes

394
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 5: this offense, always reunited with his thinking. And Hacket here

395
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 5: comes this offense with the White House, and they're going

396
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 5: to have a healthy running game.

397
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 4: Now.

398
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 5: This is all perfect because generally speaking, when you start

399
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 5: going for headlines, things don't go well in New York.

400
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 5: It's also the Jets. Things haven't gone well for the

401
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 5: Jets is a very long time. And then you add

402
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 5: in a hard knocks curse where they're going to have

403
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 5: everything they do under a microscope. This is set up

404
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 5: or disaster. In my opinion, it might work. I might

405
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 5: be dead wrong. The Jets might run through everything. Their

406
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,719
Speaker 5: defense is going to be very, very good. But if

407
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers gets hurt and he's getting up there in

408
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 5: age and his offensive line is not good, if he

409
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 5: gets hurt, they're right back to where they were last year,

410
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 5: and they're going to have a lot more people to

411
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 5: answer to than last year when things were really bad.

412
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: And I feel the hype around the Miami Dolphins and

413
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: now look what happened to Jalen Ramsey and you know,

414
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: fingers crossed if you're a too a fan. I like him,

415
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: but I don't know what necessarily changes. I haven't heard

416
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: yet a quarterback taking jiu jitsu and all of a

417
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: sudden going to a super Bowl. So you know, let's

418
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: go back to Buffalo. I think Buffalo will be very

419
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: good this year. They had a lot of distractions last year.

420
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 1: Your thoughts and any final thoughts on the division.

421
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 5: Look, it's the Bill's division to lose. I mean, I

422
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 5: don't think anybody can really make a strong case that

423
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 5: they're not going to win the division. And I think

424
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 5: there is a real distraction for them though, and I

425
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 5: think the windows closing, and I think the stef On

426
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 5: Big situation is real, and I think that there's problems.

427
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 5: Anytime a player comes out and says no problems were

428
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 5: all good, like on his own, you know there was

429
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,479
Speaker 5: something going on. They're trying to camp down the fire

430
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 5: and they're trying to stop people from talking about it

431
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 5: because there is something going on. And Dig his upset

432
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,479
Speaker 5: and if he doesn't get the football, if he doesn't

433
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 5: feel like he's a big enough part of the offense,

434
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 5: he'll start yelling at Josh Allen again and start freaking

435
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 5: out and making us and that would be really problematic.

436
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 5: So the Bills are still an extremely talented football team.

437
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 5: They still have questions. Josh Allen still makes four decisions

438
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,479
Speaker 5: in the clutch, their defense can still get lit up

439
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 5: by teams like Kansas City. So they're in the conversation

440
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 5: like they have been for the last couple of years.

441
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 5: But there are big questions about can Buffalo finally get

442
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 5: over the humping, Can they win the big one the

443
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 5: way that CAC has been able to do it now

444
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 5: with two championships with Patrick Mahomes. So the Bills the

445
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 5: team to be. But I think that in Looktua in Miami,

446
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 5: they're going to be difficult to deal with. It's another

447
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 5: year where you have speedy wide out in Hill, They've

448
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:38,959
Speaker 5: got an offense you got to worry about. They got

449
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 5: a defense that's developing. This entire AFC is going to

450
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 5: be so much fun to watch. The North is going

451
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 5: to be super competitive, even I mean, Jacksonville in the

452
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 5: South could be a really big problem. Tennessee might have

453
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 5: something to say about it. And then the team's out West.

454
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 5: I mean, we saw what seems Sean Payton must still

455
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 5: pretty good about his team for him to go and

456
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 5: run at the thadle Hacket the way that he did.

457
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 5: So I'm excited to watch the AFC this year.

458
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: Matt. I subscribe to your premise regarding Stefan Diggs. He

459
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: did the same thing in Minnesota when he wasn't getting

460
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: the ball with the frequency he wanted, with the time

461
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: he wanted, and it's just a matter of time before

462
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: that reps again. Great stuff. Let's get you on again

463
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: before too long. Matt, keep up the great work with

464
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: you and Dave Sherepan Bostonian in the book.

465
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 5: Thank you so I appreciate it.

466
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: Thanks Matt. That is Matt Perrault very plugged into the

467
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: Boston scene. As you can tell, he's from Boston, lives

468
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: out here in Vegas. Now on him and Dave Sharpin

469
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: do a great podcast called Bostonian and the book coming up.

470
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: I want to give you my thoughts on the USA

471
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: women's soccer team and they're you know, I say a

472
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: tie is like kissing your sister. But in World Cup soccer,

473
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: a tie isn't the worst thing. So what should be

474
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: our takeaways with respect to the US women's national team

475
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: going forward as they teed up again in group play?

476
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: Tuesday night midnight Pacific time. Chapinough for you, but first

477
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: go to our guy Kevin Wired with.

478
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 6: The latest, Yes, some Major League Baseball action. On Friday,

479
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 6: the Reds outlast the Dodgers six to five to take

480
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 6: the opening game of a three game set.

481
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 7: Out in Los Angeles.

482
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 6: Cincinnati moves a half game back of the NL Central lead.

483
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 6: Neither the Giants or Diamondbacks could take advantage of that

484
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 6: LA defeat. They both lost San Francisco three to two

485
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 6: to the Red Sox, Arizona five to two against the Mariners.

486
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 6: The Dodgers with a three game lead over San Francisco

487
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 6: four over the Diamondbacks. In the National League West, Padres

488
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 6: bought the Rangers seven to one. Athletics outslugg the Rockies

489
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 6: in Denver eight to five. Cholley O'tani hit his thirty

490
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 6: ninth home run of the season, but he leaves the

491
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 6: game in the ninth inning due to cramps, and the

492
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 6: Angels loose the Blue Jays four to one. Orioles outlast

493
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 6: in the Yankees won nothing in Aaron Judge's return from

494
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 6: the injured list. The Mets meeak the Nationals five to one,

495
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 6: Pete Alonzo hitting two home runs, Max Schurz are picking

496
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 6: up the win. However, regarding Thursdays traded, David Robinson, Chergers

497
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 6: of team management quote, I need to have a conversation.

498
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 6: NFL News Bengals coach Zach Taylor saying quarterback Joe Burrow,

499
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 6: with a string calf, will be out several weeks. Cincinnati

500
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 6: will look to add another quarterback to the roster, Taylor

501
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 6: did say, and NFL Networks saying Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey

502
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 6: underwent a full miniscus repair today. He is expected to

503
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 6: be out until December. And regarding the Women's World Cup.

504
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 6: A couple of games played on Friday, England shutting out

505
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 6: Denmark one nil, China over Haiti won at nail. Back

506
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 6: to you, Bernie, all right, thanks Kevin.

507
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 1: So England will be a team to watch as I'm

508
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: convinced the USA will certainly advance from their Group E

509
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: stage and get into the knockout round. But there's a team,

510
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: there's a squad that would concern me that could be

511
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: a real speed bump for the USA women's team. It

512
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: would be England. And of course, remember they're going for

513
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: a three peat. It's never happened. Brazilian men's team won

514
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: in fifty six, sixteen, sixty eight, one, three or four,

515
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: but no one's ever three peeded. And when you compare

516
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: the USA team and their game versus the Netherlands versus

517
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: what they did against Vietnam, you have to juxtapose those two.

518
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: Against Vietnam, the US well, they could afford to sort

519
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: of prioritize its tacking attentions because they were a team

520
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: in transition and in their defensive moments, they could really

521
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 1: not have too much concern about Vietnam, so they could

522
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: send their fullbacks. Crystal Dunno had a very rough game

523
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: against the Netherlands and Emily Fox. They could move them

524
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: forward and they could drop Andy Sullivan back deeper to compensate.

525
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 1: They're really they were not worried. US clearly was not

526
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: worried about counter attacks against Vietnam. But the Netherlands were

527
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: a much better team, much more technically sound, and you

528
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: were not going to be able to run that same

529
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: similar strategy. It would not have been sustainable.

530
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 5: Right.

531
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: However, interestingly enough, the coach for US Vlado and Danofski,

532
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: he didn't really change their approach and he gave the

533
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: Dutch plenty of space to work and exploit, and it worked.

534
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: In the seventeenth minute, there was an initial sequence that

535
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: got behind Crystal Dunn and that led to a goal.

536
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: And what happened after seventeen minutes the USA trailed won nothing.

537
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: That put them on what I would consider to be

538
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: very unfamiliar position. Why they hadn't traweled in a World

539
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: Cup game in twelve years. It was a quarterfinal game

540
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: against Brazil back in twenty eleven that the US actually

541
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: came back to win in a shootout, but after you know, halftime,

542
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: thanks to a perfect, a picture perfect cornerkick from Rose Laval,

543
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: who's on a minute count based on a pitch count

544
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: because of her knee, dropped one right into Lindsay Horan's head.

545
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: She heads it in off the corner kick. All of

546
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: a US sudden it's one to one, and that's where

547
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: the game ended. A one to one draw. A loss

548
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: to the Netherlands might have been a disaster. And I

549
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: don't think we're being hyperbolic there, but in that draw,

550
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: I believe the game exposed two main problems with this

551
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: US team. First of all, they are very inconsistent in

552
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: the midfield. The Dutch dominated possession in the first half.

553
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: And you know, the US has a midfield trio of names,

554
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: they're not household names like you've heard before, Savannah Demelo,

555
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: Lindsay Horan, Andy Sullivan. They were out played by their

556
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: Dutch counterparts, as it were, and that deficiency directly led

557
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: to the Dutch goal right the Dutch. Seriously, they wasted

558
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: no time. Was it was almost a clinic the first

559
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: twenty minutes. They wasted no time exposing the women's I

560
00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: would say weakness down the spine, down the in the

561
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: middle of the pitch, and they owned the center in

562
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: the field. Then, not surprisingly How did the Dutch get

563
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: their opening goal from a complete breakdown in center midfield?

564
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:16,239
Speaker 1: All right, a player for the Dutch for Netherlands name

565
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: Leek Martins. She beat Sullivan before making kind of a

566
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: run toward the box and the play culminated into a

567
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: very well placed shot by Jill Rude. So the US

568
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: was on their heels and they looked for that equalizer.

569
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: And what was happening as play can play resume, it

570
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: looked like the US players were just chasing the Dutch

571
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: around the field, and the Netherlands they were confident. They

572
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: passed for possession, they passed for penetration, they possessed the ball,

573
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: They increasingly dictated the pace, they dictated the temple in

574
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: the first half, and is the first half wore on.

575
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: The stats showed that the in the first half had

576
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: the ball, had possession of the ball sixty one percent

577
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: of the time. That's funny how they do these stats.

578
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: The US had the ball only thirty one percent of

579
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: the time. I guess the other eight percent the ball

580
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: was floating around in the ether. But I got to

581
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: say it was one of those whistles where you looked

582
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: that it was clear that the US needed to break.

583
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: They needed to regroup, they needed to do something. And

584
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: part of the problem was de Mello, who was just

585
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: making her second start in history for the national team

586
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: and her third appearance overall. Is seriously, it was frankly overmatched. Okay,

587
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: And why did that happen? Because the US is in

588
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,719
Speaker 1: a bit of a difficult spot because one of their

589
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: best midfielders and she had a great World Cup back

590
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, Rose Level a tremendous speedzer speedster. She's

591
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: on a minutes restriction because she's working her way back

592
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: from knee injury. That's why they had to start Demelo. Now,

593
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: they could move Julie Urch from center back to minfield,

594
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: but then you weaken the defense even more. So you

595
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: might solve one problem, but you create another problem. Well,

596
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: the minute Lavelle stepped down the field, you could feel

597
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: the energy. She changed the tenor of the game. She

598
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: was seven in a halftime for Demelo, and she didn't

599
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: really create a lot of offensive opportunities, but she did

600
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: help to control possession. And if here's an issue, if

601
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: as the tournament wears on, Lavelle is unable to play

602
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: the full ninety minutes, well the US is going to

603
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: have to find a way to keep their head above

604
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: water without her on the field. That's the number one issue.

605
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: They are not as good without Rose level on the field,

606
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: and I don't think she can play ninety minutes given

607
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: her knee. The second main issue was the inability for

608
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,719
Speaker 1: the US to finish offensive opportunities, and that was in

609
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: both games. Even against Vietnam. You heard that they outshot

610
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: Vietnam twenty eight to zero. Well, all of those twenty

611
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: eight shots, only six or seven were what you would

612
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: consider high quality chances on goals. Okay, even against the Netherlands,

613
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: the US had eighteen shots, but only four are on target.

614
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: And you look at their three forwards and these are

615
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: the ones that are really are supposed to be that

616
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: you know, the rabbits Alex Morgan in the middle, Sophia

617
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: Smith and Trinity Robbin, the daughter of Dennis Robin. They're

618
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: on the flanks. All three of them failed to convert

619
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: a number of promising chances in front of the goal,

620
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: and this is where coach has to reevaluate his decisions.

621
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: The US has other options that could be part of

622
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: the attack that were available. You may have heard of

623
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: Alissa Thompson the young eighteen year old Lynn Williams. But

624
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: they were kept on the bench and in fact, interestingly enough,

625
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: when coach subbed in Rose level at halftime, that was

626
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: the only chance he made all game. So I guess

627
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: and the interest to keeping players fresh over the course

628
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: of this month long tournament as well as trying to

629
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: provide a spark, to get some kind of spark into

630
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: this attack that hasn't impressed me either game versus Vietnam

631
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: or versus the Netherlands. I think coach Andranofski should consider

632
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: putting some other players up front and giving them a

633
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: chance to see if you can inject some life into

634
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 1: this frankly lifeless offense. See it starts to get real

635
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: Tuesday against Portugal at three am Eastern time. Now, the

636
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,919
Speaker 1: draw against the Netherlands made advancing out of the group

637
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: far more likely that had they lost. But the US

638
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 1: needs to do. All they need to do is earn

639
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:57,760
Speaker 1: a draw with Portugal to advance, so they're in prime

640
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: position to win the group if they beat Portugal thanks

641
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: to the gold differential, because the US beat Vietnam three

642
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: nothing and the Netherlands only beat Portugal one nothing. But

643
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: if the US can win the group with the victory

644
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: over Portugal. As long as Netherlands doesn't blow up Vietnam,

645
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: they'll get a better draw in the knockout round. With

646
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: a draw, they'll advance. But the next draw could be

647
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: or the next opponent could be much tougher. We'll get

648

673
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: radio silent, by the way. I'll have Alan Snell Saturday

674
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: night LV Sports Biz to talk about East to Vegas.

675
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: People have been asking, and you got to work backwards

676
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: from open twenty eight. That's when the the A's want

677
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 1: to play their first game. And the thought is once

678
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball approves this, and again you need seventy

679
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 1: five percent of the vote, it's going to be a fight,

680
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: but I think they're going to get it. But it's

681
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: my understanding the A's haven't even they haven't even presented.

682
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: They're proposally aet to Major League Baseball to move so

683
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: it can be evaluated. So that's certainly got to be done.

684
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,280
Speaker 1: But once that happens and things start to swing into place,

685
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: you'll start to see I think more and more announcements

686
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:36,439
Speaker 1: having to do with demolition, shoveling the ground, the Tropicano

687
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: real you know, renderings, that's what we believe will happen. Okay,

688
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: here's what's interesting about two months ago. You saw that

689
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,240
Speaker 1: artist rendering that the A's shared of their proposed Vegas

690
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: stadium that made the rounds uh and it's it's a

691
00:37:55,560 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: fagazy Okay. The A's used the series that of stadium renderings,

692
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 1: which helped them land the three hundred and eighty million

693
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: in public funding to get the new ballpark. Now quote

694
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: the team says those images are literally trash. So just

695
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: weeks after landing the one and a half billion dollars

696
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 1: stadium that passed the state Assembly and signed by the governor,

697
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: the AIS have told architectural firms the initial renderings have

698
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 1: no basis in the project's future reality. Quote we told

699
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: the group's Bradshrock said he saw the rendings in a newspaper,

700
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: But whid those up for now? That's what he told

701
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 1: bradshrock the as director of Design tool the Las Vegas

702
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: Review Journal. Now, it's been common knowledge in the business

703
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 1: of sports at initial stadium and arena renderings, well, they

704
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 1: have typically very different, you know, different outlooks as opposed

705
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 1: to when you finally get to the finished version. What

706
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: the early drawings do. They just generate public excitement and

707
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 1: they win political support and they are a battering ram

708
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: to get public dollars. But the first Las Vegas drawings

709
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: showed really a rushed effort. I mean, with all due respect,

710
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: looks like someone's eighth grade art project, and it was

711
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,399
Speaker 1: unfeasible based on what you look. The rendering show this

712
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 1: traditional retractable roof that we're told, I'm not smart enough

713
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: to know this, but we're told would all be impossible

714
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: to build on this very tight nine acre Tropicana Hotel

715
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: site that's pegged for the project. And by the way,

716
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: if you've ever been to the stadium in Oakland, it's

717
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: got the biggest foul territory in baseball, and they carried

718
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: that over to the Las Vegas drawings. But I think

719
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: that goes away. What happens next Once the A's are

720
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: approved and the owners say yes in November of this year,

721
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 1: the A's tend to pick a stadium. Rketet. It's going

722
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: to take thirty two months to build a stadium, so

723
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: they better get moving. Get a shovel in the ground.

724
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,880

966
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 1: Killian Emboppi was offered what I'll break it down for

967
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,240
Speaker 1: you by the way spoiler alert, He turned it down.

968
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna put this in perspective and compare with

969
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:47,320
Speaker 1: Emboppi was offered in one year versus the lifetime earnings

970
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 1: and franchise valuations. The number behind what Emboppi was offered,

971
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 1: and if he accepted it, what it would have looked like.

00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 1: up to be killing him in Boppi. The Saudian Arabian

983
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 1: Club Alhal. They were prepared to offer Mboppi UH to

984
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 1: take him away from Paris interrumon a one point one

985
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:04,279
Speaker 1: billion dollar offer, including a three hundred and thirty two

986
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: million dollar feet a PSG and MBOPI would have gotten

987
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 1: a seven hundred and seventy six million dollars salary for

988
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:16,919
Speaker 1: one year to play for the Saudi Arabian Club. Now

989
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 1: forget what records this would shatter in global soccer or

990
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:25,920
Speaker 1: anything else. And I don't know how this would have

991
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 1: ultimately affected the economic parody that FIFA is trying to promote.

992
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,760
Speaker 1: And they have what are called financial fair play rules.

993
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 1: But when you got money, man, you got money like

994
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:41,800
Speaker 1: these dudes, You got money like the colonel's got chicken.

995
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:45,359
Speaker 1: It just may never run out. Okay, let's put this

996
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 1: in perspective. And EMBOPI turned it down. He turned it down.

997
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 1: Let's compare what EMBOPI was earned versus other Oh, what

998
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 1: do you want to call them? Popping earnings in the

999
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: world of sports. For instance, Lebron James. You're heard of him,

1000
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:12,359
Speaker 1: he's a self proclaimed goat and uh he's earned five

1001
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty one million dollars in his career. And

1002
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 1: BOPPI would have earned seven hundred and sixty seven hundred

1003
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 1: and seventy six million for one season. Patrick Mahomes if

1004
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 1: he plays throughout his deal through twenty thirty one, which

1005
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 1: I expect him too, and he's worth every penny. He

1006
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: will earn four hundred and ninety four million dollars. Take

1007
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 1: him eight more years to do it, though, and Boppy

1008
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 1: would have earned seven hundred and six seventy six million.

1009
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 1: Why the hell can I say that seven hundred and

1010
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 1: seventy six million in one year. Let's say you wanted

1011
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 1: to buy an NHL team. You could buy the Arizona

1012
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:55,400
Speaker 1: Coyotes for four hundred and fifty million dollars. Hold damn franchise.

1013
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:59,800
Speaker 1: That's what the value is. And Boppy seven hundred and

1014
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: seven twenty six million one year. The Mets have the

1015
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 1: biggest payroll in baseball by a long shot. Three hundred

1016
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 1: and sixty seven million is what the Mets payroll is

1017
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three in Boppy, Oh double that man.

1018
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 1: Seven hundred and seventy six million. In Bobby would have

1019
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: earned one year. Tom Brady in his career, then Super

1020
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 1: Bowls one seven he earned, and now this is on

1021
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 1: the field his NFL earnings three hundred and thirty two

1022
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 1: million dollars in his career in Boppy seven hundred and

1023
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:42,959
Speaker 1: seventy six million one year. You detect the pattern here

1024
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:47,839
Speaker 1: what's the NFL salary cap per team heading into twenty

1025
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 1: twenty three, two hundred and twenty five million per team.

1026
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,840
Speaker 1: You would have to pay three full teams and be

1027
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 1: at the salary cap, and you still be a million

1028
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:03,280
Speaker 1: dollars short of Poppies seven hundred seventy six million dollar

1029
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:09,839
Speaker 1: salary offer. Maybe you want to buy a w NBA team.

1030
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:13,840
Speaker 1: You could buy the Seattle Storm for one hundred and

1031
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 1: eighty five million dollars. Well, hell, you could buy four

1032
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 1: teams with What if Boppi was going to earn seven

1033
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:24,960
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy six million in one year Tiger Woods. Now,

1034
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 1: Tiger's made a billion dollars in his career, but on

1035
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:33,279
Speaker 1: the course his career PGA earnings, well, hell, they're a

1036
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:37,799
Speaker 1: mere one hundred and fifty seven million dollars and Boppy

1037
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 1: five times that, five times that, seven hundred and seventy

1038
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 1: six million dollars. Now let's say in Boppy, what have said? Ah, Hell,

1039
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 1: I'll do it. I'll go to Saudi Arabia for a year.

1040
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 1: I'll play for the All Helal team. Why not get

1041
00:56:56,480 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 1: a little sun, have a little fun, got a nice

1042
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:04,279
Speaker 1: bed and breakfast there, and that year will go by,

1043
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 1: and then I'll move on to something else, and uh

1044
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 1: I'll be I'll be big time in Bobby somewhere else.

1045
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 1: So if you'd just done that for one year, if

1046
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 1: you had accepted the bid from the Saudi Club Al

1047
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 1: Halal seven seventy six million for one season, he would

1048
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: make sixty four point six million dollars a month, not bad,

1049
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 1: And Boppi would have made fourteen point seven million dollars

1050
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 1: per week. H not bad. What did you do today?

1051
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: Because if you were in Boppi and he would have

1052
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 1: gotten up tomorrow morning and he was finding himself under

1053
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: contract with the Saudi Club Al Halal, make two point

1054
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 1: one million dollars per day. That's every day, whether you

1055
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: got a game or not, whatever you're doing, you're gonna

1056
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 1: make two point one million dollars per day. This show

1057
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: has been on the year a little over an hour.

1058
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 1: If you would be killing him Boppy in that hour,

1059
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 1: you would have made eighty eight thousand, five hundred dollars.

1060
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 1: I've been talking about this now for about three or

1061
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 1: four minutes. But if I was killing him in Bopy

1062
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 1: eight under that contract, I would have been paid one thousand,

1063
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 1: four hundred and seventy five dollars per minute. Oh yeah,

1064
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 1: why not, let's carry it all the way down, twenty

1065
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: four dollars per second, twenty four dollars per second. Probably

1066
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 1: paid seventy two dollars just in the time it took

1067
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 1: to say that, seven hundred and seventy six million dollars

1068
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:46,520
Speaker 1: for the season, sixty four point six million a month,

1069
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 1: fourteen point seven million per week, two point one million

1070
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 1: per day, eighty eight thousand, five hundred per hour, one million,

1071
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:59,479
Speaker 1: four thousand, one thousand, four hundred seventy five dollars every

1072
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 1: sec every minute, and twenty four dollars every second. And oh,

1073
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 1: by the way, he turned it down. He turned it down.

1074
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 1: I get it. You'll get bus elsewhere. But in one

1075
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 1: season he would have passed Lebron James career all time

1076
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 1: NBA earnings Patrick Mahomes deal. He would have exceeded that

1077
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:20,640
Speaker 1: by three million dollars. It'll take eight more years to fulfill.

1078
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 1: Could have bought the Arizona Coyes twice, could have made

1079
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: the New York Men's payroll twice, could have exceeded Tom

1080
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 1: Brady's all time NFL earnings two and a half times,

1081
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 1: three times the NFL salary cap of the average team

1082
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 1: could have bought the Seattle Storm four times the WNBA

1083
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: team and oh yeah, Tiger Woods career earnings five times

1084
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 1: that in one year. And now I'm talking about Tiger's

1085
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 1: crewernings just on the golf course since nineteen ninety seven.

Speaker 1: did just with this offer in and of itself, it's incredible.

1100
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 1: in a while, the Shan Watson and how could I

1101
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 1: forget his contract because he's earned He's got like two

1102
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:51,440
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty one million guaranteed over I think the

1103
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:54,560
Speaker 1: five years of his contract, and he's expected to have

1104
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 1: a you know, a bounce back year this year in Cleveland.

1105
01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 1: We'll see once again, that's some mere pittance. You can

1106
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 1: triple that and still be eighty million less than what

1107
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 1: in Bobby would have earned one year. But to Shaun

1108
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:08,960
Speaker 1: Watson ren his mouth this week, and I got one

1109
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 1: thing to say to Sean Watson, wash your mouth out

1110
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:15,480
Speaker 1: with soap. What did he say? Well, I'll tell you

1111
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 1: coming up first, Let's go back to our guy, Kevin

1112
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 1: Wyre with the latest.

1113
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 6: Well one quarterback who is expecting you to get a

1114
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 6: large contract as Joe Burrow. But he did suffer a

1115
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 6: scare in practice yesterday, straining his calf, and Bengals head

1116
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 6: coach Zach Taylor saying that he will be out several

1117
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 6: weeks and that Cincinnati will look to add another quarterback

1118
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 6: to the roster.

1119
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 7: Other injury news in the.

1120
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 6: NFL NFL Network saying the Dolphins quarterback Jalen Ramsey underwent

1121
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 6: a full miniscus repair today. He is expected to be

1122
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 6: out until at least December, and in Major League Baseball

1123
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 6: action on a Friday, the Reds beat the Dodgers six ' five.

1124
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 6: They take the opening game of a three game set

1125
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:55,440
Speaker 6: in Los Angeles, Cincinnati, just a half game back of

1126
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 6: the lead in the National League Central. Neither the Giants

1127
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:02,000
Speaker 6: or Diamondbacks could take avage of that loss by the Dodgers.

1128
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 6: They both fell on Friday night, San Francisco three two

1129
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:08,080
Speaker 6: to the Red Sox, Arizona five to two against the Mariners.

1130
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 6: The Dodgers with a three game lead over San Francisco

1131
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:15,440
Speaker 6: four over the Diamondbacks in the NL West standings. Padres

1132
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 6: with a blowout win over the Rangers seven to one.

1133
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 6: Athletics out slugging the Rockies in Denver eight to five.

1134
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:23,040
Speaker 6: Cholley Otani hits his thirty ninth home run of the season.

1135
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 6: He would leave the game in the ninth due to cramps, however,

1136
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 6: and the Angels would eventually lose through the Blue Jays

1137
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 6: four to one. Aaron Judge finally back in the lineup,

1138
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 6: but the Angels excuse me. The Yankees unable to muster

1139
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 6: any offense as the Orioles beat New York won nothing

1140
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 6: Mets over the Nationals five to one. Pete Alonso hitting

1141
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 6: two home runs in the victory for New York Backers

1142
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 6: are getting the win. But regarding Thursday's trade of David

1143
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:51,720
Speaker 6: robertson Schurzer's set of team management quote, I need to

1144
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 6: have a conversation, how coo you?

1145
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 1: Bernie? All right? Thanks Kevin? All right? Our good friend

1146
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson, who still have by the way, has one

1147
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 1: case to settle. And you'll be hearing that name Tony Buzby.

1148
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 1: I think again before too long. But Watson had some

1149
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:14,920
Speaker 1: comments this past week in front of a microphone, and

1150
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 1: for my money, he shows he's learned nothing. Deshaun Watson

1151
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 1: just simply doesn't get it, and I don't think he

1152
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 1: has any desire of getting it. That's the takeaway from

1153
01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 1: what his first interview was when he arrived at Brown's

1154
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 1: camp the other day. In a word, I still think

1155
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson is completely remorseless. Last Sunday, he stood in

1156
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 1: front of a group of reporters and he called the

1157
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:43,919
Speaker 1: allegations of at least I think there were twenty five

1158
01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 1: women for sexual misconduct, which Watson ended up settling in

1159
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:55,200
Speaker 1: civil court. He said the media constructed a narrative against him,

1160
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,960
Speaker 1: A narrative, a narrative. This was not a case of

1161
01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 1: miscan during Watson's words or taking anything out of context.

1162
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:07,480
Speaker 1: Watson was as clear as he possibly could be. Watson

1163
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 1: made it clear he has absolutely no regret for what transpired.

1164
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 1: In fact, into Shawn Watson's view, he's not playing the victim.

1165
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 1: He's playing the victim. He believes it's been unfair that

1166
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 1: the sexual assault and misconduct allegations that were reported on,

1167
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 1: but not the personal struggles he had as a child

1168
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 1: were properly reported on. So quote, there's things in Watson's

1169
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 1: upbringing that people don't really get to hear about, especially

1170
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:42,320
Speaker 1: last year. But it's been the media that damn media,

1171
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 1: directing and narrating something else. It's been kind of overshadowed.

1172
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:48,720
Speaker 1: I had the opportunity to tell that story of those

1173
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:51,040
Speaker 1: guys and look at my teammates in the eyes and

1174
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 1: be able to touch them, let them know why I

1175
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:56,080
Speaker 1: am who I am. It's definitely impactful. What the hell

1176
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:58,880
Speaker 1: is that word? Salid? What the hell? What the hell

1177
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 1: is your major malfunction? Son? The entire process with respect

1178
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:10,800
Speaker 1: to whenever Watson has been allowed to speak since these

1179
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 1: allegations emerged from minute one. All he's ever done, in

1180
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 1: my view is deflect and in effect call his accusers liars,

1181
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 1: essentially deny any wrongdoing. And now for the trifecta, he's

1182
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 1: blaming the media the latest attempt and this is not

1183
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:33,360
Speaker 1: the first time, but the latest attempt on Watson to

1184
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 1: conflate the lack of coverage of his upbringing because we

1185
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 1: were too busy, you know, reporting the widespread sexual misconduct.

1186
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 1: That's just a tactic part of the Deshaun Watson playbook

1187
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 1: that he's been adhering to since this news you know,

1188
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:55,360
Speaker 1: broke two full years ago. Now and again, for the record,

1189
01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 1: there's no other way to interpret this other than Deshaun

1190
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 1: Watson shows no has never shown remorse in my opinion,

1191
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,440
Speaker 1: and doesn't appear to be showing remorse anytime soon for

1192
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:11,560
Speaker 1: all of the sexual misconduct allegations. Now, there's a clear reason.

1193
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 1: I'm told I don't write for any newspaper, nor do

1194
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:17,960
Speaker 1: I care to. But there's a reason I'm told why

1195
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:22,440
Speaker 1: the difficulties of Watson's personal life frankly hasn't really been

1196
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 1: widely reported on because no one considers that to be

1197
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:30,480
Speaker 1: a story of national significance. Everybody has their own issues.

1198
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 1: Spend any time around the NFL, and there are hundreds

1199
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 1: of examples of players who have overcome adversity and come

1200
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 1: out on top and they found success in the NFL.

1201
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:46,960
Speaker 1: It's not that those stories aren't compelling, not that those

1202
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 1: stories are important or interesting, but overcoming adversity is so

1203
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:56,320
Speaker 1: common by many of the great players in the NFL.

1204
01:06:57,320 --> 01:07:01,920
Speaker 1: It's to a broad audience. It just doesn't have the

1205
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:04,920
Speaker 1: spark that people would want. But if you're accused by

1206
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 1: twenty five women of sexual assault, that's a horse of

1207
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 1: a different color. That's only happened once in NFL history,

1208
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 1: and that story revolves around to Shaan Watson. That's the story. Now,

1209
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 1: you can hold two thoughts concurrently. To be fair, perhaps

1210
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 1: you can appreciate the struggles Watson went through to reach

1211
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:29,640
Speaker 1: the NFL, And you can hold two thoughts concurrently, And

1212
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:33,320
Speaker 1: you should be disgusted by the allegations against him. They

1213
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 1: were widespread. These women don't know each other, they didn't

1214
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:39,520
Speaker 1: get together, and cooks up them up out a whole cloth.

1215
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 1: So when you try to conflate the lack of coverage

1216
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:46,520
Speaker 1: of his rise to the NFL and just say that

1217
01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:49,040
Speaker 1: it's the media's fault for all this widespread reporting on

1218
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 1: section was contact. What is Watson doing. He's attempting to

1219
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:56,880
Speaker 1: paint the media as this monolithic group that plays on

1220
01:07:56,920 --> 01:08:00,280
Speaker 1: the negative and really has a palpable sense of leave

1221
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:03,680
Speaker 1: when someone has a downfall. DeShawn, this is America, baby,

1222
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 1: You're intently your opinion, just as the media is entitled

1223
01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:13,280
Speaker 1: to think. This is boloney bulvine scatology disgusting. There's an

1224
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:16,760
Speaker 1: element to this, though, that's couched an objective truth. The

1225
01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:21,240
Speaker 1: NFL punishment of Watson did nothing to change his pattern

1226
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 1: and thinking. If it did, tell me.

1227
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:24,880
Speaker 5: Show me.

1228
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:30,240
Speaker 1: Because as part of Watson's suspension, he was supposed to

1229
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:34,040
Speaker 1: undergo evaluation by behavior experts as well as complete a

1230
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:38,000
Speaker 1: treatment program. And there were folks behind the scenes who

1231
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:40,559
Speaker 1: I don't know who the hell these people were, but

1232
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:44,200
Speaker 1: something must have transpired which gave the NFL calls to

1233
01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 1: believe he's fine to return to competition while he's still

1234
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 1: saying he did nothing wrong. The women lied, and the

1235
01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:54,160
Speaker 1: media created this whole damn thing. It's a bit of

1236
01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:58,760
Speaker 1: a contrast from a year ago, right after Watson was reinstated,

1237
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:01,360
Speaker 1: when he said, look I want to say I'm truly

1238
01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:03,880
Speaker 1: sorry to all the women I've impacted in this situation.

1239
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:06,640
Speaker 1: The decisions I've made in my life that put me

1240
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:09,479
Speaker 1: in this position. I would definitely like to have back,

1241
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:11,599
Speaker 1: but I want to continue to move forward and grow

1242
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:14,839
Speaker 1: and learn and show that I'm a true person of character,

1243
01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 1: and I want to keep pushing forward. Another word, salad.

1244
01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 1: Someone probably wrote it for him, and it sounded disingenuous

1245
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:25,440
Speaker 1: then as it does now. It was a lowsy apology.

1246
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 1: But at least he said, well, it was a lowsy apology.

1247
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:35,240
Speaker 1: I'm not giving him any credit. Then this year he

1248
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:41,080
Speaker 1: pivots saying the Merita directed the narrative. So if you

1249
01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 1: are looking at Deshaun Watson objectively, he seems to display

1250
01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 1: the characteristics of a misogynist because his apology was disingenuous,

1251
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:56,800
Speaker 1: it was insincere. It was forced, it was contrived, it

1252
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:01,800
Speaker 1: was pre programmed. Because Deshaun Watson has gone on in

1253
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:04,400
Speaker 1: the last year to prove it was insincere, was forced.

1254
01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:07,679
Speaker 1: What did he learn from this behavior? What the hell

1255
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 1: was his training? He was forced to undergo other than

1256
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:14,240
Speaker 1: check a box, which the NFL mandated, when you speak

1257
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:16,879
Speaker 1: the way Deshaun Watson did a training camp last Sunday.

1258
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:19,439
Speaker 1: It doesn't show he's a true person or character or

1259
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:21,920
Speaker 1: is truly sorry to the women that he eventually wrote

1260
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:26,840
Speaker 1: checks to to make this go away. The focus wasn't onnapologize.

1261
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:29,120
Speaker 1: He was trying to make his teammates understand that the

1262
01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 1: big mad beat, the big bad media did this not

1263
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:36,479
Speaker 1: to Shaun Watson. So here we are. The quarterback with

1264
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:40,559
Speaker 1: the best contract in the entire league was trying to

1265
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 1: make his teammates understand that the big bad media did

1266
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:49,240
Speaker 1: this not to Shaun Watson. So here we are again,

1267
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:53,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback with the best contract in the league. He's remorseless.

1268
01:10:55,520 --> 01:11:00,160
Speaker 1: He allegedly could be characterized as a sexual predator who

1269
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:03,719
Speaker 1: paid off as victims. If you learn something from his punishment,

1270
01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:06,439
Speaker 1: you tell me. All he wants to do is deflect

1271
01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:09,240
Speaker 1: a blame on someone else. Shame on the Browns for

1272
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:13,360
Speaker 1: assisting this and downplaying what happened. Shame on the NFL

1273
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:17,000
Speaker 1: for having such a reckless individual in terms of their

1274
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:19,519
Speaker 1: sexual assault policy that you just sort of squirted through

1275
01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:22,000
Speaker 1: it without any real change, And shame on de Sean

1276
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:25,919
Speaker 1: Watson for continuing to push this narrative that he did

1277
01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 1: nothing wrong. Coming up. A certain running back for the

1278
01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 1: New York Giants is in cap and I'm gonna give

1279
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 1: him his flowers. I think what he did was right.

1291
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:19,599
Speaker 1: Slash Match running back Saquon Barkley and the New York

1292
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 1: Giants have agreed to a one year contract worth up

1293
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:26,519
Speaker 1: to eleven million dollars. Now. They failed to reach a

1294
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:31,160
Speaker 1: long term extension before the franchise deadline. I am told

1295
01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:33,599
Speaker 1: white people I trust don't know. It's one hundred percent

1296
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:38,840
Speaker 1: trou Barkley turned down three years thirteen million per he did,

1297
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:42,680
Speaker 1: he did, that's his business anyway, A slice it. I

1298
01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:44,640
Speaker 1: don't know that you have to worry about taking up

1299
01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:50,919
Speaker 1: a collection plate for Saquon Barkley. Okay, because with this contract,

1300
01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:53,200
Speaker 1: with just this year, if he never plays another down

1301
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:57,000
Speaker 1: again in the NFL, he will have earned over forty

1302
01:12:57,040 --> 01:12:59,920
Speaker 1: one million dollars in his career. Now I realize the

1303
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:04,240
Speaker 1: running back market has declined. It doesn't mean it's devalue.

1304
01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:07,599
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean they're not important. They're very important. However,

1305
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:10,840
Speaker 1: they're interchangeable. Now if you can't get that, you got

1306
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 1: a different agenda. You want to play the victim. You

1307
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:15,759
Speaker 1: want to live a life of victimization and self loathing.

1308
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:18,040
Speaker 1: Knock yourself out. You want to put from the rough

1309
01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:22,160
Speaker 1: that's up to you. Knock yourself out. The game has

1310
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:26,519
Speaker 1: become basketball on turf. Running back or linebackers run like

1311
01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:30,840
Speaker 1: DB's did twenty years ago. Defensive ends run like linebackers.

1312
01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:33,800
Speaker 1: You spread your athletes out, put them in space one

1313
01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:37,920
Speaker 1: on one, try to make a play. It's basketball on turf.

1314
01:13:38,160 --> 01:13:42,120
Speaker 1: Simple as that, there is no conspiracy, There is no

1315
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:47,639
Speaker 1: coalition of teams that got together and said, let's find

1316
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:51,040
Speaker 1: out how the hell we can screw running backs. Okay, no,

1317
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:55,479
Speaker 1: doesn't work that way. Coaches put their players in position

1318
01:13:55,560 --> 01:13:59,040
Speaker 1: to have success. Even Dalvin Cook, he's without a job

1319
01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:01,720
Speaker 1: right now, but he's earned thirty nine million dollars in

1320
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:04,800
Speaker 1: his career. Ezekiel Elliott seventy one million in his career.

1321
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:07,640
Speaker 1: It's a supplying demand issue. You've heard me tell the

1322
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:12,080
Speaker 1: joke before. One year before training camp, when bum Phillips,

1323
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:15,800
Speaker 1: the Great bum Phillips was coaching the Houston Oilers, they

1324
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:19,400
Speaker 1: did a mile run Day one. Earl Campbell finished last.

1325
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:26,320
Speaker 1: At the press conference later, coach bum Phillips was asked, coach,

1326
01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:29,080
Speaker 1: how do you feel about your star running back, leader

1327
01:14:29,120 --> 01:14:31,559
Speaker 1: of the team, finishing last in the one mile run.

1328
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:36,559
Speaker 1: Bum Phillips looked at the throng and said, well, I

1329
01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:39,799
Speaker 1: guess if we have third in a mile Earl Campbell

1330
01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:43,720
Speaker 1: in getting the ball? Where are you? Mark? Come on? Man?

1331
01:14:44,160 --> 01:14:47,160
Speaker 1: All right? Running back sa Kuon Barkley. Good for him.

1332
01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:49,920
Speaker 1: I think he's a quality human being. He's a stud

1333
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:52,080
Speaker 1: running back and Daniel Jones needs him, and I know

1334
01:14:52,120 --> 01:14:54,760
Speaker 1: people are pissed off Daniel Jones got made paid, he

1335
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:58,479
Speaker 1: got forty million. He's nowhere near the top. But look,

1336
01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:05,240
Speaker 1: it's quarterback are not interchangeable. Running backs are. This deal

1337
01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 1: includes an additional nine hundred and nine thousand dollars an

1338
01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:11,439
Speaker 1: incentive two million dollars signing bonus. If Barkley could just

1339
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:14,559
Speaker 1: reach thirteen hundred yards, they make it to a playoff

1340
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:19,439
Speaker 1: to birth sixty five receptions eleven touchdowns, Barkley reported, good

1341
01:15:19,479 --> 01:15:23,439
Speaker 1: for him. He's a pro. And I listen, if the

1342
01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:25,800
Speaker 1: Giants have designs and doing what they did last year,

1343
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:30,120
Speaker 1: well they're gonna need Barkley. And I think it was

1344
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:31,880
Speaker 1: a bit of a surprise to some people. I know

1345
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:35,960
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs. You know, we're seen at the airport leaving

1346
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:37,960
Speaker 1: town last week and they asked him when you're gonna

1347
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:40,160
Speaker 1: be back. He said, no time soon. I'm betting he'll

1348
01:15:40,160 --> 01:15:44,400
Speaker 1: be back before opening day. Hew Bitt, why would he

1349
01:15:44,479 --> 01:15:47,719
Speaker 1: leave six hundred thousand dollars on a table every week

1350
01:15:47,760 --> 01:15:50,160
Speaker 1: on game day? As the Raiders go five and eleven

1351
01:15:50,200 --> 01:15:53,799
Speaker 1: again this year, the good news is thanks to Barkley

1352
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 1: being an adult in the room, the Giants and Barkley

1353
01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:00,040
Speaker 1: have heard of a training camp crisis. I realized he

1354
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:02,600
Speaker 1: did not reach the long term really wanted. Barkley was

1355
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:05,759
Speaker 1: expected to play on the tag, but it was somewhat

1356
01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:09,559
Speaker 1: uncleared last week. At this time when he would report there,

1357
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:11,439
Speaker 1: you know, there were thoughts he would miss time, he

1358
01:16:11,439 --> 01:16:14,479
Speaker 1: would protest being franchise tagged. There was even talking he

1359
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:18,559
Speaker 1: might miss the Giant season opener. He was frustrated. He's

1360
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:21,160
Speaker 1: frustrated about the whole running back market. I never once

1361
01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:24,599
Speaker 1: believed that. I never believed he'd miss real I never

1362
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:26,760
Speaker 1: believed he'd missed regular season games, and I don't believe

1363
01:16:26,840 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs will either. Instead, on the day of the

1364
01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:34,000
Speaker 1: Giants Vets headed to Camp, Barkley to his top credit.

1365
01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:37,679
Speaker 1: Surprise folks, he signed the tag and got the added incentive.

1366
01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:42,200
Speaker 1: So what happens next, Well, both Saquon Barkley and the Giants.

1367
01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:47,040
Speaker 1: They avoid the public debate surrounding a star player and

1368
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:50,519
Speaker 1: a running back's absence, and the Giants spin OTAs focused

1369
01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:52,600
Speaker 1: on who was there and likely who had done the

1370
01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:56,120
Speaker 1: same thing with camp without Barkley. Barkley is a positive

1371
01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:58,400
Speaker 1: talking point. I understand. He even made a diving catch

1372
01:16:58,439 --> 01:17:02,880
Speaker 1: and practice the first day. Barkley is one of the

1373
01:17:03,080 --> 01:17:07,360
Speaker 1: franchise's biggest names, and his legacy will not be altered

1374
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:12,480
Speaker 1: by a holdout. Now, there won't be any in season negotiations.

1375
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 1: Barkley's gonna have to wait until after the season to

1376
01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:18,120
Speaker 1: reserve talks on a long term deal. And you know what,

1377
01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:24,840
Speaker 1: Barkley does deserve more than the minimum, meaning the franchise tag.

1378
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:27,599
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry signed his twelve and a half million dollars

1379
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:31,040
Speaker 1: deal two years ago. Barkley's worth at least that, maybe thirteen,

1380
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:34,400
Speaker 1: maybe fourteen. I think the Giants could have maybe squeezed

1381
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:36,799
Speaker 1: a little more. Why he turned down three years thirteen

1382
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:40,679
Speaker 1: per is beyond me if that in fact, in fact

1383
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:43,920
Speaker 1: is true. But he was one of the most used

1384
01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:47,200
Speaker 1: players out of the backfield last year, and his metrics

1385
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:51,040
Speaker 1: rank quite good in terms of expected points at it,

1386
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:55,280
Speaker 1: expected points or expected yards per rush, expected yards per target.

1387
01:17:56,080 --> 01:17:59,520
Speaker 1: And when you look at how Barkley stacks up financially,

1388
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:04,400
Speaker 1: look Christian McCaffrey's paid sixteen million. I don't know if

1389
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:07,040
Speaker 1: he's worth that. He might be the best running back

1390
01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:09,439
Speaker 1: in the game, but when he left Carolina, the running

1391
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:12,840
Speaker 1: tech got better. Barkley, I think is everybody's worth of

1392
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:16,360
Speaker 1: the Giants what Derrick Henry is to the Tennessee Titans.

1393
01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:20,599
Speaker 1: Henry gets twelve point five. Barkley caught fifty six passes

1394
01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:23,120
Speaker 1: last year. Now, when you look at the rest of

1395
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 1: the market, Jamal Williams four million to go to New Orleans,

1396
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:29,320
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders six point four million. Do I think Barkley's

1397
01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:33,080
Speaker 1: as good as Alvin Kamara? Yes, Kamara's getting fifteen million

1398
01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:36,360
Speaker 1: a year. Dalvin Cook got twelve point six on his

1399
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:40,240
Speaker 1: previous Nick Chubb Noah can argue twelve point two million.

1400
01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 1: But Barkley's coming off his most productive season since his

1401
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:47,800
Speaker 1: rookie year thirteen hundred and twelve yards, career high, ten touchdowns,

1402
01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:51,599
Speaker 1: fifty seven receptions, the number two pick on the twenty

1403
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:55,400
Speaker 1: eighteen draft, He's had multiple injuries, including me an ankle,

1404
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:58,920
Speaker 1: but he's rebounded from them all. We shall see what

1405
01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:02,840
Speaker 1: happens coming up. Jim Harbaugh on the news today. What's

1416
01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:48,000
Speaker 1: tire buying should be. Jimharbaugh, Well, they're reporting a looming

1417
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:52,960
Speaker 1: four game suspension. My moles tell me the NCAA wanted

1418
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:57,479
Speaker 1: six games. We'll see where this ends up. They're working

1419
01:19:57,520 --> 01:20:02,600
Speaker 1: towards a negotiated resolution, and we're I guess we're expected

1420
01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:07,439
Speaker 1: to see Horbass suspended four games this season. That will

1421
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:15,840
Speaker 1: stem from penalties that resulted in the fact that Harball

1422
01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:21,000
Speaker 1: allegedly made false statements, originally to investigators a couple of

1423
01:20:21,040 --> 01:20:25,439
Speaker 1: years ago. Now, this agreement is sort of an initial

1424
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:29,760
Speaker 1: version of the negotiated resolution. It's not yet finalized. The

1425
01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:32,400
Speaker 1: resolution has got to be approved by the NCAA Committee

1426
01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:36,280
Speaker 1: in fractions, and this could take days, maybe even a

1427
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:40,600
Speaker 1: few weeks. Because the commitity, the committee has the authority

1428
01:20:41,200 --> 01:20:45,200
Speaker 1: to adjust penalties. Now, what a blow to Michigan. Now

1429
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:48,880
Speaker 1: their first four games are all at home. The first

1430
01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:56,680
Speaker 1: three are East Carolina UNLV and Bowling Green. Then on

1431
01:20:56,720 --> 01:21:03,080
Speaker 1: September twenty third, Michigan played their first Big Ten game Rutgers,

1432
01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:07,519
Speaker 1: a program that's improving, but they finished four to eight

1433
01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:11,280
Speaker 1: last season. Every one of those games, Michigan will be

1434
01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:16,719
Speaker 1: favored between twenty and thirty five points. Now, Michigan returns

1435
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:20,280
Speaker 1: several key major pieces from a team that finished thirteen

1436
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 1: to one a year ago, and they're expected to begin

1437
01:21:23,640 --> 01:21:26,760
Speaker 1: the year rated in the top five. Ranked in the

1438
01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:32,120
Speaker 1: top five. Okay, Now, Harball is impending suspension. He's basically

1439
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:39,040
Speaker 1: centered on an NCAA investigation into recruiting violations committed by yes,

1440
01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:44,479
Speaker 1: Jim Harball and even his staff members now the NCAA

1441
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:48,800
Speaker 1: enforcement staff. Well, they alleged that Jim Harball was dishonest

1442
01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:52,560
Speaker 1: about the recruiting violations in his initial meeting with investigators.

1443
01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:56,880
Speaker 1: And this is a long time ago. Had to do

1444
01:21:56,960 --> 01:22:01,120
Speaker 1: with some cheeseburgers he bought some recruits allegedly during COVID.

1445
01:22:02,840 --> 01:22:06,559
Speaker 1: Now it's my understanding. First Harbaugh denied that, and then

1446
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:09,040
Speaker 1: he went on to say he doesn't remember it. And

1447
01:22:09,160 --> 01:22:13,240
Speaker 1: as recent as January, Harball and the NCAA could have

1448
01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:17,799
Speaker 1: had a fairly quick resolution, it's my understanding, but Harball

1449
01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:20,879
Speaker 1: refused to admit that he lied to the NCAA staff.

1450
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:25,920
Speaker 1: Harball maintained he didn't recall the events when first speaking

1451
01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:32,160
Speaker 1: with investigators, but he was never purposefully dishonest. Meanwhile, Michigan

1452
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:37,360
Speaker 1: and their representatives no comment. But this might be more

1453
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:41,760
Speaker 1: serious than you think Otherwise. You remember Mike McDonald are

1454
01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:46,320
Speaker 1: outstanding defensive coordinator from a couple of years ago. He's

1455
01:22:46,360 --> 01:22:50,280
Speaker 1: now the defensive coordinator for Harball's brother, John Harbaugh at

1456
01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:55,080
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens. Might McDonald he's not even the program anymore.

1457
01:22:56,240 --> 01:23:00,360
Speaker 1: He's expected to receive a one year show cause penalty. Now,

1458
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:03,880
Speaker 1: Shure Colls penalties are no laughing matter. Can make it

1459
01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:08,200
Speaker 1: very difficult for coaches to land jobs in college athletics

1460
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:11,439
Speaker 1: should he decide to return to the college game. In

1461
01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:16,200
Speaker 1: addition to that, to current Michigan assistants are also expected

1462
01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:19,479
Speaker 1: to receive sanctions. I believe they're both expected to receive

1463
01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:23,880
Speaker 1: one game suspensions. That would be offensive coordinator Sharon Moore

1464
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:29,040
Speaker 1: and tight end coach Grand Newsom. So for Hardball, the

1465
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:33,680
Speaker 1: negotiated resolution is a signal that I guess he acknowledged

1466
01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:39,960
Speaker 1: some sort of dishonesty. The NCAA considers lying to investigators

1467
01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:44,599
Speaker 1: a level one violation, and that's the most serious on

1468
01:23:44,640 --> 01:23:48,439
Speaker 1: the organization's scale. A level one violation could carry a

1469
01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:53,559
Speaker 1: six game expansion and even significant recruiting restrictions if you

1470
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:58,680
Speaker 1: take time to read the NCAA statue. Now, again, this

1471
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:00,920
Speaker 1: is an alleged cover up, but sure looks that way.

1472
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:04,200
Speaker 1: As the users alluted the case, the cover up's worse

1473
01:24:04,240 --> 01:24:08,280
Speaker 1: than the crime, And from the NCAA's perspective, the cover

1474
01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:12,679
Speaker 1: up was worse than the crime because once this happened,

1475
01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:15,840
Speaker 1: the NCAA says, okay, okay, you want to get in

1476
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:17,760
Speaker 1: the ring with us, you really want to do this.

1477
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,560
Speaker 1: All of a sudden there were a notice of allegations

1478
01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:24,639
Speaker 1: that they sent to Michigan, and all of a sudden,

1479
01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:31,320
Speaker 1: the NCAA cited four level two violations, including allegedly meeting

1480
01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:35,000
Speaker 1: with two recruits during the COVID nineteen dead period, the

1481
01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:39,519
Speaker 1: old Kelvin Sampson texting recruit outside of an allowable time period,

1482
01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:45,000
Speaker 1: having analysts perform on field coaching duties during practice, and oh,

1483
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:48,919
Speaker 1: by the way, having coaches watching players work out via zoom.

1484
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:51,880
Speaker 1: You know, not exactly the crime of the century, right,

1485
01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:56,759
Speaker 1: but it is a federal case because the NCAA didn't

1486
01:24:56,880 --> 01:24:57,200
Speaker 1: like it.

1487
01:24:58,479 --> 01:24:58,639
Speaker 5: Now.

1488
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:03,200
Speaker 1: Eventually har acknowledged the program committed the level two violations,

1489
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:07,040
Speaker 1: but refused to sign any document or publicly state that

1490
01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:10,599
Speaker 1: he was ever untruthful with the enforcement staff. They are

1491
01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:13,040
Speaker 1: in lives of the real rub So the NCAA defines

1492
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:16,880
Speaker 1: Level two violations as quote resulting in less than a

1493
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:21,160
Speaker 1: substantial or extensive recruiting, competitive, or other advantage. It further

1494
01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:25,760
Speaker 1: calls them systemic violations that do not amount to lack

1495
01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:30,400
Speaker 1: of institutional control. As a result, Level two punishments are

1496
01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:34,560
Speaker 1: usually fairly minor. But we're back to the line to

1497
01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:39,000
Speaker 1: investigators that thought of as a much more serious matter.

1498
01:25:40,479 --> 01:25:45,120
Speaker 1: So at least start making progress. A few months ago

1499
01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:51,040
Speaker 1: a resolution between the NCAA and Harbaugh. Seemed like they

1500
01:25:51,040 --> 01:25:53,920
Speaker 1: were very far apart, seemed like there was a distant chance.

1501
01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:56,720
Speaker 1: But they had a couple of meetings in January and

1502
01:25:56,880 --> 01:26:00,960
Speaker 1: the NCAA and Harball, well Harball held firm, refused to

1503
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:03,679
Speaker 1: back down from their positions. The nca said the coach lied,

1504
01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:07,400
Speaker 1: the coach said he merely forgot otherwise insignificant actions and

1505
01:26:07,479 --> 01:26:11,400
Speaker 1: there was an impass. Now, all of this, frankly occurred

1506
01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:14,719
Speaker 1: during a very eventful time for the football program, because

1507
01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:18,360
Speaker 1: Michigan had lost to TCU on the year's eve in

1508
01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:21,400
Speaker 1: the semi finals of the playoff, capped off a thirteen

1509
01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:24,800
Speaker 1: win season top credit saw the Wolverines win the Big

1510
01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:27,400
Speaker 1: Ten and the fetal House state for the second consecutive year.

1511
01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:31,479
Speaker 1: And then, of course, within days, Harball's name, once against

1512
01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:36,120
Speaker 1: once again emerged for a various NFL head coaching openings,

1513
01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:39,280
Speaker 1: including the Denver Broncos. I guess he spoke with them,

1514
01:26:39,320 --> 01:26:42,400
Speaker 1: But then the news broke of the nca infractions, and

1515
01:26:42,439 --> 01:26:46,920
Speaker 1: Harball remained very coy about returning to Michigan. But then

1516
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:50,559
Speaker 1: later in January, Harbaugh and the university stated that he

1517
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:53,040
Speaker 1: would in fact be back for the twenty twenty three season.

1518
01:26:53,479 --> 01:26:58,519
Speaker 1: But this case is still looming. The case remains and

1519
01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:03,720
Speaker 1: it's not official yet. It's my understanding. The NCAA won

1520
01:27:03,880 --> 01:27:08,000
Speaker 1: six games, harror buss fighting for four. My guess is

1521
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:11,880
Speaker 1: they end up on four. Not a great position to

1522
01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:16,040
Speaker 1: be in, not the worst thing in the world, but

1523
01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:21,000
Speaker 1: once again, one of those situations where you'd rather not

1524
01:27:21,080 --> 01:27:25,639
Speaker 1: be involved. Michigan has designs. I'm doing it again this year.

1525
01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:27,560
Speaker 1: They got a piece of cake schedule, they got to

1526
01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:29,559
Speaker 1: go to Penn State, they get Ohio State at home.

1527
01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:33,880
Speaker 1: They're over under win is ten and a half, though

1528
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:36,280
Speaker 1: it only counts for the twelve games in the regular season.

1529
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:41,320
Speaker 1: You know, Michigan State is always slippery. You can't you

1530
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:45,960
Speaker 1: can't go to sleep on them. But Michigan State, Michigan

1531
01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:49,080
Speaker 1: will be a double digit favorite. There'll be a small

1532
01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:53,040
Speaker 1: favorite against Ohio State at home this year. I expect

1533
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:55,000
Speaker 1: Aisle State to be much improved and they'll figure out

1534
01:27:55,040 --> 01:27:58,719
Speaker 1: the quarterback situation. But defensively, expect them to be much improved.

1535
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:02,080
Speaker 1: We'll see if Penn State eight, which has another outstanding

1536
01:28:02,120 --> 01:28:05,040
Speaker 1: club but they always play Michigan just well enough to lose.

1537
01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:10,000
Speaker 1: We'll see if Michigan stay Penn steak in surprise Michigan

1538
01:28:10,040 --> 01:28:14,920
Speaker 1: this year. You never know coming up the Jets. Boy,

1539
01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:16,679
Speaker 1: they are in the news and they are the odds

1540
01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:21,040
Speaker 1: on favorite to be the team to go from last

1541
01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:24,080
Speaker 1: to first in twenty twenty three. You know, this is

1542
01:28:24,120 --> 01:28:28,320
Speaker 1: something that's a fairly common occurrence. I'll talk about the

1543
01:28:28,400 --> 01:28:31,799
Speaker 1: Jets their odds and the other teams on that list

1544
01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:37,160
Speaker 1: who might go from last to first. In twenty twenty three.

Speaker 1: pm Pacific. A huge show plan for Saturday. A lot

1568
01:29:53,840 --> 01:29:57,040
Speaker 1: of good guests. Had a great guest earlier tonight, Matt Perrault,

1569
01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:01,200
Speaker 1: Bostonian in the book along with his partner Sherpan They

1570
01:30:01,200 --> 01:30:04,240
Speaker 1: do a great job, all right, believe it or not.

1571
01:30:04,400 --> 01:30:08,200
Speaker 1: Nine times in last eight years a divisional team has

1572
01:30:08,280 --> 01:30:15,200
Speaker 1: gone from last to first in the NFL. Remember last

1573
01:30:15,240 --> 01:30:18,320
Speaker 1: year the Jacksonville Jaguars did it. They were three and fourteen,

1574
01:30:19,680 --> 01:30:22,720
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, nine to eight and twenty twenty two. Hell,

1575
01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:25,240
Speaker 1: there were two teams that did it in twenty eighteen,

1576
01:30:26,240 --> 01:30:29,640
Speaker 1: including the Chicago Bears. You forgot about the Mitch Trubisky

1577
01:30:29,720 --> 01:30:32,439
Speaker 1: team that had a hell of a year that year.

1578
01:30:32,479 --> 01:30:35,240
Speaker 1: I think they went twelve and four, got to the playoffs,

1579
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:36,920
Speaker 1: and it wasn't for the double doing field goal, they

1580
01:30:36,920 --> 01:30:40,360
Speaker 1: would have actually won a playoff game. But I digress.

1581
01:30:41,720 --> 01:30:46,960
Speaker 1: So who who who will be the team to do it?

1582
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:50,639
Speaker 1: This year. Can Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets

1583
01:30:50,800 --> 01:30:54,599
Speaker 1: They're coming for the AFC East. You got a quarterback

1584
01:30:54,640 --> 01:30:59,080
Speaker 1: who's a four time MVP, and yes, his PFF grade

1585
01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:01,760
Speaker 1: last year with the second of his career, but no

1586
01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:06,960
Speaker 1: Jets quarterback has surpassed that Marx's twenty oh six. The

1587
01:31:07,040 --> 01:31:09,960
Speaker 1: Jets are a story. We'll see if they crash and

1588
01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:11,800
Speaker 1: burn or we'll just see if they figure it out.

1589
01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:15,599
Speaker 1: But they've made an upgrade and they got an above

1590
01:31:15,640 --> 01:31:19,080
Speaker 1: average defense and an above average running game and some weapons.

1591
01:31:19,120 --> 01:31:22,360
Speaker 1: Will see if they stay healthy. The Cleveland Browns made improvements.

1592
01:31:22,360 --> 01:31:25,400
Speaker 1: They addressed a lot of their defensive issues this offseason.

1593
01:31:25,439 --> 01:31:31,960
Speaker 1: They had Dalvin Tomlinson in free agency, and they boosted

1594
01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:34,840
Speaker 1: their interior offensive line and blah blah blah, and they

1595
01:31:34,840 --> 01:31:37,160
Speaker 1: got Sadarius Smith and you got Book INDs with Miles

1596
01:31:37,160 --> 01:31:41,559
Speaker 1: Garrett on the edge. Can the Denver Broncos do it well?

1597
01:31:41,600 --> 01:31:44,960
Speaker 1: Catching the Chiefs, He's no easy task, and you'd have

1598
01:31:44,960 --> 01:31:47,840
Speaker 1: to leap frog the Chargers as well. But the way

1599
01:31:47,920 --> 01:31:52,479
Speaker 1: Sean Payton's talking coming in there with all that Pisson vinegar, well,

1600
01:31:52,520 --> 01:31:55,519
Speaker 1: you know, you know he can't rule out the Broncos. Right,

1601
01:31:57,560 --> 01:32:01,040
Speaker 1: So what are the odds for a team to go

1602
01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:03,719
Speaker 1: from worse to first? Well, the Jets are the prohibited favorites.

1603
01:32:06,439 --> 01:32:09,120
Speaker 1: They're two to one. The Jets are two to one

1604
01:32:09,200 --> 01:32:12,519
Speaker 1: basically to be the one team to go from worse

1605
01:32:12,560 --> 01:32:14,439
Speaker 1: to first. Now, there are eight teams that will have

1606
01:32:14,479 --> 01:32:18,600
Speaker 1: an opportunity, believe it or not, even the Cardinals. I

1607
01:32:19,160 --> 01:32:21,439
Speaker 1: don't think I would waste a whole hell of a

1608
01:32:21,520 --> 01:32:26,000
Speaker 1: lot of time, you know, dumping any shekels on the Cardinals.

1609
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:30,160
Speaker 1: They're about twenty four to one. Now the Washington Commanders

1610
01:32:30,600 --> 01:32:33,960
Speaker 1: are ten to one. I don't know how serious you

1611
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:38,080
Speaker 1: can take the Commanders, but I do know this that

1612
01:32:38,560 --> 01:32:45,960
Speaker 1: fan interest has actually ratcheted up since since Dan Schneyder

1613
01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:50,160
Speaker 1: sold the team, and I mean in twenty four seasons

1614
01:32:50,160 --> 01:32:53,120
Speaker 1: as an owner, the team only managed six playoff appearances,

1615
01:32:53,120 --> 01:32:56,680
Speaker 1: only in two playoff wins. The last time the Commanders

1616
01:32:56,680 --> 01:32:59,160
Speaker 1: won a playoff game was when they beat Tampa Bay

1617
01:32:59,160 --> 01:33:02,800
Speaker 1: in two thousand. But the truth of the matter is

1618
01:33:03,400 --> 01:33:06,040
Speaker 1: Week one is going to be a sellout, and there's

1619
01:33:06,280 --> 01:33:10,920
Speaker 1: there's also you know, a real quest to win back

1620
01:33:10,960 --> 01:33:14,960
Speaker 1: the deserters of the team, the Washington Commanders. Of course,

1621
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:16,840
Speaker 1: prior to that they were the Redskins before they were

1622
01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:19,600
Speaker 1: the Washington football team. There are very proud franchise in

1623
01:33:19,600 --> 01:33:21,720
Speaker 1: the history of the National Football League, and they have

1624
01:33:21,800 --> 01:33:26,240
Speaker 1: won Super Bowls more than one. By the way, speaking

1625
01:33:26,240 --> 01:33:28,880
Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl, here's a daunting stat. I get

1626
01:33:28,880 --> 01:33:35,400
Speaker 1: off topic for just a second. The last seventeen quarterbacks

1627
01:33:35,400 --> 01:33:37,960
Speaker 1: to lose their Super Bowl debut, they've not returned to

1628
01:33:38,000 --> 01:33:40,320
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. That may be bad news if your

1629
01:33:40,400 --> 01:33:46,160
Speaker 1: Jalen hurts, because this hasn't happened. You know, very often

1630
01:33:46,520 --> 01:33:48,400
Speaker 1: we're a team who lost the Super Bowl where their

1631
01:33:48,439 --> 01:33:52,040
Speaker 1: quarterback was making their Super Bowl debut, got back the

1632
01:33:52,080 --> 01:33:56,320
Speaker 1: next year. Now a team I don't think anybody should

1633
01:33:56,360 --> 01:33:58,400
Speaker 1: go to sleep out, and I mean this lot, the

1634
01:33:58,439 --> 01:34:03,080
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. They're three to one heading into the season.

1635
01:34:03,600 --> 01:34:06,479
Speaker 1: If you take a look at the NFC South, they

1636
01:34:06,479 --> 01:34:08,519
Speaker 1: don't have a team that ranks inside the top twelve

1637
01:34:08,520 --> 01:34:11,479
Speaker 1: Super Bowl favorites in terms of betting odds. This is

1638
01:34:11,479 --> 01:34:14,160
Speaker 1: a division that the Bucks won last year with a

1639
01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:18,000
Speaker 1: record of eight and nine. So the path to go

1640
01:34:18,080 --> 01:34:20,800
Speaker 1: from last to first is there, whether or not the

1641
01:34:20,840 --> 01:34:23,880
Speaker 1: Falcons could take advantage of it. They've got the smoothest

1642
01:34:24,000 --> 01:34:26,760
Speaker 1: path to do it, and the Falcons have a good

1643
01:34:26,800 --> 01:34:29,760
Speaker 1: offensive line. They add Bjeon Robinson, who I think will

1644
01:34:29,800 --> 01:34:32,439
Speaker 1: be a big time playmaker for him, Falcons might have

1645
01:34:32,479 --> 01:34:35,040
Speaker 1: the best running game in football. The biggest issue you

1646
01:34:35,080 --> 01:34:37,880
Speaker 1: simply don't know what you're gonna get from Desmond Ridder.

1647
01:34:37,920 --> 01:34:40,720
Speaker 1: They've now handled in the Keys to the Car in

1648
01:34:40,760 --> 01:34:44,280
Speaker 1: four starts. Last year here into PFF grade about seventy

1649
01:34:44,960 --> 01:34:46,559
Speaker 1: and he had three of the four games. He didn't

1650
01:34:46,560 --> 01:34:48,799
Speaker 1: throw a touchdown pass. But we shall see what Ridder

1651
01:34:48,840 --> 01:34:50,439
Speaker 1: can do this year. And if you look at the

1652
01:34:50,479 --> 01:34:52,200
Speaker 1: rest of the division. And I got no beef with

1653
01:34:52,240 --> 01:34:55,400
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. Okay, he took over a team in Cleveland

1654
01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:57,920
Speaker 1: that had been one in thirty one to two previous years,

1655
01:34:57,920 --> 01:35:00,280
Speaker 1: and when two years got into the playoffs and they

1656
01:35:00,320 --> 01:35:03,120
Speaker 1: led Kansas City and the defense couldn't hold him. So look,

1657
01:35:03,160 --> 01:35:05,720
Speaker 1: I'm not electing Baker Mayfield of the Hall of Fame

1658
01:35:05,760 --> 01:35:08,240
Speaker 1: anytime soon. But I don't think he's had bad and

1659
01:35:08,280 --> 01:35:10,960
Speaker 1: I think he'll do okay in Tampa Bay. But you know,

1660
01:35:11,040 --> 01:35:14,160
Speaker 1: the group thing that the group think Echo Chamber narrative

1661
01:35:14,200 --> 01:35:16,400
Speaker 1: is to make fun of Mayfield. I hear people doing

1662
01:35:16,439 --> 01:35:19,679
Speaker 1: on other networks. Why based on what, Yeah, he's replacing Brad.

1663
01:35:19,720 --> 01:35:23,960
Speaker 1: He's not Brady. Nobody is. But so you got Mayfield,

1664
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:26,960
Speaker 1: you got Desmond Ritter, and you got oh yeah, Derek Carr,

1665
01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:31,040
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, you can have it. I have no faith

1666
01:35:31,040 --> 01:35:33,639
Speaker 1: that Derek Carr will be the missing link that gets

1667
01:35:34,680 --> 01:35:37,240
Speaker 1: New Orleans over. And I've given plenty of stats on

1668
01:35:37,280 --> 01:35:40,639
Speaker 1: that over the past few weeks and statistically how poor

1669
01:35:40,640 --> 01:35:43,080
Speaker 1: he was, and he had weapons, he had Devanti Adams

1670
01:35:43,120 --> 01:35:45,720
Speaker 1: at the leading rusher in football, Josh Jacobs. Doesn't matter

1671
01:35:45,760 --> 01:35:48,920
Speaker 1: whether he had a defense or not. Offensively, when it mattered,

1672
01:35:48,960 --> 01:35:52,639
Speaker 1: Carr didn't come through. Sorry he didn't. Okay, So what's

1673
01:35:52,720 --> 01:35:55,479
Speaker 1: going to be magically different in New Orleans? I don't

1674
01:35:55,520 --> 01:35:58,800
Speaker 1: know what. And Dennis Allen, look at his track record

1675
01:35:58,840 --> 01:36:00,559
Speaker 1: as a head coach, you got approved. So I think

1676
01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:04,799
Speaker 1: the Falcons are live, man, I really do the Bears

1677
01:36:04,800 --> 01:36:07,960
Speaker 1: plus three fifty, I don't see it. I don't see it.

1678
01:36:08,320 --> 01:36:10,559
Speaker 1: I really like Justin Fields, but he's got to prove

1679
01:36:10,600 --> 01:36:11,720
Speaker 1: to me he can get rid of the ball. He's

1680
01:36:11,720 --> 01:36:13,519
Speaker 1: got to get the ball out of his hands. I

1681
01:36:13,560 --> 01:36:16,240
Speaker 1: think Justin Fields is a very good dual thread quarterback

1682
01:36:16,600 --> 01:36:19,439
Speaker 1: a college version of a dual thread quarterback. His default

1683
01:36:19,479 --> 01:36:22,200
Speaker 1: mechanismissed to run, and the numbers don't lie. Now, he

1684
01:36:22,240 --> 01:36:24,120
Speaker 1: can make a liar out of me, but don't tell me,

1685
01:36:24,360 --> 01:36:26,600
Speaker 1: show me, don't give me speeches. You're gonna throw it

1686
01:36:26,600 --> 01:36:29,000
Speaker 1: for four thousand dollars a here, just do it, Just

1687
01:36:29,040 --> 01:36:33,000
Speaker 1: do it. And he's got weapons, man, he's got real weapons.

1688
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:34,599
Speaker 1: But even if he does, you still got to get

1689
01:36:34,680 --> 01:36:36,479
Speaker 1: rid of the damn ball. You got to get the

1690
01:36:36,479 --> 01:36:40,679
Speaker 1: ball out of your hands. Now, you know. You add

1691
01:36:40,760 --> 01:36:47,640
Speaker 1: DJ Moore and I believe, I believe they traded down

1692
01:36:47,680 --> 01:36:49,960
Speaker 1: from the number one pick with the Carolina Panthers. They

1693
01:36:50,040 --> 01:36:53,320
Speaker 1: use that selection to draft an offensive tackle, Darnell Right,

1694
01:36:53,760 --> 01:36:59,000
Speaker 1: So the Bears. The Bears are improved. But we'll see,

1695
01:36:59,000 --> 01:37:02,120
Speaker 1: if you know, if Justin Fields can be that missing link.

1696
01:37:02,680 --> 01:37:05,120
Speaker 1: Not so sure. So the Jets two to one, the

1697
01:37:05,120 --> 01:37:07,120
Speaker 1: falconstree to one. I think the Falcons are very love

1698
01:37:07,160 --> 01:37:12,720
Speaker 1: bearis plus three fifty, Cleveland Browns plus three sixty, So

1699
01:37:12,760 --> 01:37:20,040
Speaker 1: they're right there. Can they do it? That's a brutal division.

1700
01:37:20,080 --> 01:37:23,599
Speaker 1: Are in with Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and Baltimore. I'm just gonna

1701
01:37:23,600 --> 01:37:27,920
Speaker 1: skip right past Cleveland. Well, let's talk about the Denver Broncos.

1702
01:37:28,040 --> 01:37:32,719
Speaker 1: I think the Denver Broncos, Yes, they have the distinction

1703
01:37:33,080 --> 01:37:36,519
Speaker 1: and the challenge of being in the same division as

1704
01:37:36,520 --> 01:37:41,000
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs and even the Chargers. Brandon Stale

1705
01:37:41,120 --> 01:37:43,040
Speaker 1: will do his best to screw that up and tell

1706
01:37:43,120 --> 01:37:46,000
Speaker 1: us how smart he is, because you know he's using

1707
01:37:46,040 --> 01:37:49,360
Speaker 1: analytics and we're just too stupid to know that he's

1708
01:37:49,400 --> 01:37:53,160
Speaker 1: a genius. But just the results in the field don't

1709
01:37:53,160 --> 01:37:55,559
Speaker 1: match that. See did it work man? Not so much?

1710
01:37:55,600 --> 01:38:00,880
Speaker 1: Did it? But the Broncos I believe we'll get a

1711
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:04,720
Speaker 1: bounce back. I believe you know, Sean Payton will reinvigorate

1712
01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:09,680
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Wilson was the sixth highest graded quarterback in

1713
01:38:09,720 --> 01:38:13,080
Speaker 1: the NFL in twenty twenty. But yes, he's dropped significantly

1714
01:38:13,080 --> 01:38:16,400
Speaker 1: in the last couple seasons. He was eighteenth last season

1715
01:38:17,320 --> 01:38:21,439
Speaker 1: and h or check that eighteenth is last season with Seattle,

1716
01:38:21,479 --> 01:38:25,280
Speaker 1: twenty ninth with Denver. But you got Jerry Judy, Cortland, Sutton,

1717
01:38:25,320 --> 01:38:28,760
Speaker 1: they got some weapons. What version of Russell Wilson will

1718
01:38:28,800 --> 01:38:30,800
Speaker 1: we see? I think you'll definitely see a better one.

1719
01:38:30,920 --> 01:38:33,920
Speaker 1: So like when a hitter goes into a slump, in baseball.

1720
01:38:34,680 --> 01:38:37,160
Speaker 1: You're not asking him to do something he's never done before.

1721
01:38:37,160 --> 01:38:38,880
Speaker 1: You're asking him to get back where he was at

1722
01:38:38,920 --> 01:38:43,599
Speaker 1: one point before that. Now that leaves the Texans plus

1723
01:38:43,680 --> 01:38:48,400
Speaker 1: nine fifty. Come on, I love Demko Ryans. He's instantly

1724
01:38:48,520 --> 01:38:52,599
Speaker 1: changed the culture there. They've drafted well, and I think

1725
01:38:52,640 --> 01:38:56,360
Speaker 1: you're going to see a very competitive Texans team. They

1726
01:38:56,439 --> 01:39:00,160
Speaker 1: just need to mature, they need to fill out. Okay,

1727
01:39:00,920 --> 01:39:04,839
Speaker 1: the Commanders. I won't go to sleep on the Commanders completely.

1728
01:39:04,920 --> 01:39:06,640
Speaker 1: And I like Ron Rivere and I like some of

1729
01:39:06,680 --> 01:39:10,320
Speaker 1: the stuff they're doing. I'll quote our guy VJ. Husky.

1730
01:39:10,360 --> 01:39:13,479
Speaker 1: He just he just tweeted at me. He said, Bernie,

1731
01:39:13,520 --> 01:39:16,200
Speaker 1: the Commanders will surprise people this year. Number three defense

1732
01:39:16,240 --> 01:39:18,800
Speaker 1: from last season, Sam Howe beIN to show he can

1733
01:39:18,840 --> 01:39:22,400
Speaker 1: play in this league. Offensive weapons and prove Terry McLaurin,

1734
01:39:22,520 --> 01:39:25,799
Speaker 1: Samuel Robinson, Gibson, Thomas Dotson, the enemy calling the plays.

1735
01:39:26,160 --> 01:39:29,760
Speaker 1: Remember this tweet. He may be right, he may very

1736
01:39:29,800 --> 01:39:34,120
Speaker 1: well be right. That's the division. I don't have faith

1737
01:39:34,160 --> 01:39:38,800
Speaker 1: in Dallas and Dak Prescott. Why should I? And you

1738
01:39:38,840 --> 01:39:42,080
Speaker 1: know it's the Super Bowl loser. I don't mean to

1739
01:39:42,120 --> 01:39:44,840
Speaker 1: call the Eagles losers. I think they're damn good by

1740
01:39:44,840 --> 01:39:48,240
Speaker 1: the way, they lost eight starters from last year, and

1741
01:39:48,320 --> 01:39:51,479
Speaker 1: they're retooling a bit. And you know, you should know

1742
01:39:51,520 --> 01:39:53,880
Speaker 1: by now that the team will falls short in the

1743
01:39:53,880 --> 01:39:56,240
Speaker 1: Super Bowl typically has a rough going next year, So

1744
01:39:56,320 --> 01:39:58,760
Speaker 1: you can't automatically pencil in Dak He says he's gonna

1745
01:39:58,760 --> 01:40:01,760
Speaker 1: throw ten interceptions this year. He threw fifteen last year.

1746
01:40:02,760 --> 01:40:07,120
Speaker 1: Why the speeches just shut up? Play. You're gonna do

1747
01:40:07,160 --> 01:40:08,880
Speaker 1: the same crap you do every year. You get into

1748
01:40:08,920 --> 01:40:11,640
Speaker 1: the postseason and do something stupid and lose and then

1749
01:40:11,720 --> 01:40:15,719
Speaker 1: get more speeches. So you know what, would it surprise me? Washington?

1750
01:40:15,760 --> 01:40:17,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure they feel like they're a bird out of

1751
01:40:17,400 --> 01:40:19,800
Speaker 1: a cage right now with Dan Snyder gone. They might.

1752
01:40:20,920 --> 01:40:23,479
Speaker 1: They might. So I'm not writing that off at all.

1753
01:40:23,520 --> 01:40:24,960
Speaker 1: And we will remember the tweet and we'll give you

1754
01:40:24,960 --> 01:40:27,160
Speaker 1: your flowers if it happens. Look, every year in the NFL,

1755
01:40:27,200 --> 01:40:31,719
Speaker 1: the beauty of this league is that because of scheduling, drafting,

1756
01:40:31,840 --> 01:40:34,120
Speaker 1: and all the other things, they create a certain parody.

1757
01:40:35,560 --> 01:40:37,559
Speaker 1: But I guess if I have a gun to my head,

1758
01:40:37,720 --> 01:40:41,879
Speaker 1: who I think will go for worse to first? Probably

1759
01:40:41,880 --> 01:40:45,080
Speaker 1: the Falcons, but a winking and none to the Jets

1760
01:40:45,640 --> 01:40:49,519
Speaker 1: coming up. What a huge week in the world of soccer.

1761
01:40:49,880 --> 01:40:51,519
Speaker 1: We'll have it for you just a minute, but first

1762
01:40:51,600 --> 01:40:55,479
Speaker 1: let's go back to our guy, Kevin Wyatt with the latest.

1763
01:40:55,640 --> 01:40:57,800
Speaker 6: Well, the big story in soccer right now is the

1764
01:40:57,840 --> 01:40:59,519
Speaker 6: World Cup, the Women's World Cup. We did have a

1765
01:40:59,560 --> 01:41:03,360
Speaker 6: couple of men on Friday. England shutout Denmark one nail.

1766
01:41:03,439 --> 01:41:06,519
Speaker 6: Same for China over eighty at one nail. Score there.

1767
01:41:07,280 --> 01:41:09,960
Speaker 6: On Saturday, we've got a couple of games coming up.

1768
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:12,280
Speaker 6: We actually have a game going on right now, Sweden

1769
01:41:12,360 --> 01:41:14,479
Speaker 6: leading Italy right now three to nil, and then a

1770
01:41:14,520 --> 01:41:18,160
Speaker 6: couple more games coming up later today at six o'clock Eastern,

1771
01:41:18,200 --> 01:41:21,679
Speaker 6: France will face off against Brazil. Panama and Jamaica will

1772
01:41:21,680 --> 01:41:24,719
Speaker 6: square off at eight thirty eastern. Both of those games

1773
01:41:24,760 --> 01:41:29,120
Speaker 6: can be seen on Fox. As for Major League Baseball,

1774
01:41:29,160 --> 01:41:31,559
Speaker 6: we had plenty of action on Friday. The Reds meet

1775
01:41:31,600 --> 01:41:33,920
Speaker 6: the Dodgers six to five to take the opening game

1776
01:41:33,920 --> 01:41:36,560
Speaker 6: in La Cincinnati, now a half game back of the

1777
01:41:36,720 --> 01:41:40,280
Speaker 6: NL Central lead, and that's because the Brewers lost to

1778
01:41:40,320 --> 01:41:43,439
Speaker 6: the Braves on Friday ten to seven Atlanta. With the

1779
01:41:43,479 --> 01:41:47,200
Speaker 6: win and out West, neither the Giants or Diamondbacks could

1780
01:41:47,240 --> 01:41:48,879
Speaker 6: take advantage of LA losing.

1781
01:41:48,880 --> 01:41:49,880
Speaker 1: On Friday, San.

1782
01:41:49,760 --> 01:41:53,200
Speaker 6: Francisco losing to the Red Sox three to two, Arizona

1783
01:41:53,280 --> 01:41:55,599
Speaker 6: falling five to two against the Mariners. The Dodgers are

1784
01:41:55,640 --> 01:41:58,680
Speaker 6: now three games ahead of San Francisco four over the

1785
01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:02,839
Speaker 6: dinning Backs in the NASA League West. Other scores, Padres

1786
01:42:02,840 --> 01:42:04,800
Speaker 6: with a blaw win against the Rangers seven to one.

1787
01:42:04,840 --> 01:42:08,280
Speaker 6: Athletics outslug the Rockies in Denver eight five. Shoa hey

1788
01:42:08,280 --> 01:42:11,120
Speaker 6: Otani hits his thirty ninth home run of the season,

1789
01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:13,000
Speaker 6: but he leaves the game of the ninth due to cramps,

1790
01:42:13,360 --> 01:42:16,200
Speaker 6: and the Angels lose to the Blue Jays four to one.

1791
01:42:16,800 --> 01:42:20,080
Speaker 6: Orioles beat the Yankees one nil and Aaron Aaron Judges

1792
01:42:20,160 --> 01:42:23,240
Speaker 6: return from the injured list. The Mets beat the Nationals

1793
01:42:23,280 --> 01:42:25,840
Speaker 6: five to one, Pete Alonzo two home runs, Max Scherzer

1794
01:42:25,920 --> 01:42:29,040
Speaker 6: picking up the win and regarding Thursday's traded David robertson,

1795
01:42:29,439 --> 01:42:32,040
Speaker 6: sure's a set of team management quote, I need to

1796
01:42:32,080 --> 01:42:36,759
Speaker 6: have a conversation. NFL News Bengals head coach Zach Taylor

1797
01:42:36,840 --> 01:42:39,240
Speaker 6: saying that quarterback Joe Burrow with his string calf, will

1798
01:42:39,240 --> 01:42:41,600
Speaker 6: be out several weeks and that Cincinnati will look to

1799
01:42:41,600 --> 01:42:45,280
Speaker 6: add another quarterback to the roster and Jalen Ramsey, the

1800
01:42:45,280 --> 01:42:48,760
Speaker 6: Dolphins quarterback, had an injury scare in practice and it

1801
01:42:48,800 --> 01:42:51,880
Speaker 6: turns out he had a full miniscus repair today we're

1802
01:42:51,880 --> 01:42:54,640
Speaker 6: on Friday. According to NFL Network, he is expected to

1803
01:42:54,680 --> 01:42:56,800
Speaker 6: be out until December.

1812
01:43:38,160 --> 01:43:41,360
Speaker 8: all here in this report from the World of Soccer.

1813
01:43:42,560 --> 01:43:45,120

01:43:45,120 --> 01:43:47,280
Speaker 1: going to ask you to start with the Man City

1815
01:43:47,360 --> 01:43:51,679
Speaker 1: Wrexham game because that was like World War seven. Take

1816
01:43:51,680 --> 01:43:52,320
Speaker 1: it away, man.

1817
01:43:53,520 --> 01:43:57,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I think it was actually Manchester United. I

1818
01:43:57,200 --> 01:43:59,160
Speaker 4: might have just sent that note to you wrong.

1819
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:02,080
Speaker 1: But that's why I miss spoke. I miss spoke.

1820
01:44:02,720 --> 01:44:05,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, No, I just wasn't. I just wasn't sure, because

1821
01:44:05,400 --> 01:44:06,720
Speaker 4: one of one of the things I'll talk about on

1822
01:44:06,720 --> 01:44:09,600
Speaker 4: Sunday is just this friendly season is just nothing like

1823
01:44:09,640 --> 01:44:12,680
Speaker 4: I've seen before. The amount of matches they are being

1824
01:44:12,720 --> 01:44:16,440
Speaker 4: played in the United States, in massive stadiums like Snapdragon

1825
01:44:16,520 --> 01:44:18,960
Speaker 4: in San Diego where this game was played, or in

1826
01:44:19,000 --> 01:44:21,799
Speaker 4: so Far or in Allegiance for you in Las Vegas.

1827
01:44:22,160 --> 01:44:26,800
Speaker 4: It is a massive cash grab. It's a massive spectacle

1828
01:44:26,880 --> 01:44:29,200
Speaker 4: of soccer. I know the Women's World Cup is going on,

1829
01:44:29,360 --> 01:44:33,480
Speaker 4: but this is unbelievable. Yes, Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego

1830
01:44:35,840 --> 01:44:39,080
Speaker 4: one for the ages. Again, we have to reiterate Wrexham,

1831
01:44:39,280 --> 01:44:42,160
Speaker 4: the stars of Welcome to Wrexham was in the National League,

1832
01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:46,120
Speaker 4: a very very very low tier in English soccer pyramid,

1833
01:44:46,160 --> 01:44:47,880
Speaker 4: and they're going up to League Two, which is still

1834
01:44:47,920 --> 01:44:51,960
Speaker 4: a very low tier. For them to beat Manchester United's

1835
01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:54,559
Speaker 4: three to one even in a friendly, which amounts to

1836
01:44:54,560 --> 01:45:01,000
Speaker 4: a preseason an unbelievable victory for them, it's it's something.

1837
01:45:01,080 --> 01:45:05,200
Speaker 4: I was gasping watching it. It was so full of

1838
01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:08,439
Speaker 4: heart and passion, but unfortunately it was just really marked

1839
01:45:08,520 --> 01:45:10,479
Speaker 4: with ugliness. At the same time too, there were a

1840
01:45:10,520 --> 01:45:14,040
Speaker 4: lot of yellow cards handed out. It got very contentious

1841
01:45:14,040 --> 01:45:16,559
Speaker 4: and a lot of it came was just you know,

1842
01:45:16,800 --> 01:45:18,920
Speaker 4: a lot of it started just twenty minutes into the game.

1843
01:45:19,320 --> 01:45:21,360
Speaker 4: Wrexham has a very fun star naming that by the

1844
01:45:21,439 --> 01:45:24,160
Speaker 4: name of Paul Mullen who joined the club kind of

1845
01:45:24,280 --> 01:45:26,240
Speaker 4: you know, he's in welcome torection. He's a bit of

1846
01:45:26,240 --> 01:45:28,680
Speaker 4: a redemption story falling all the way down to the

1847
01:45:28,760 --> 01:45:31,360
Speaker 4: National League. But he was their star. He's the reason

1848
01:45:31,400 --> 01:45:34,559
Speaker 4: why they got promoted this season. And he had a

1849
01:45:34,680 --> 01:45:37,679
Speaker 4: nasty hit on a challenge by the United goalkeeper Nathan

1850
01:45:37,760 --> 01:45:40,439
Speaker 4: Bishops and it's resulted in a punctured lung.

1851
01:45:40,720 --> 01:45:42,120
Speaker 1: Had right, he had to be.

1852
01:45:43,600 --> 01:45:44,280
Speaker 5: While too.

1853
01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:48,400
Speaker 1: And as for the game, ironic that they call us

1854
01:45:48,400 --> 01:45:50,679
Speaker 1: a friendly because this is as heated as a matches

1855
01:45:50,720 --> 01:45:53,160
Speaker 1: delivered fine, And of course rex and one of the

1856
01:45:53,160 --> 01:45:56,719
Speaker 1: colners movie star Ryan Reynolds, he finally had to step

1857
01:45:56,800 --> 01:45:58,000
Speaker 1: up and serve as a peacemaker.

1858
01:45:59,360 --> 01:46:02,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, like this it's definitely felt like really bad blood

1859
01:46:02,600 --> 01:46:05,320
Speaker 4: from a club like Manchester United who really should be

1860
01:46:05,760 --> 01:46:08,160
Speaker 4: getting into bad blood with a side like Wrexham. But

1861
01:46:08,520 --> 01:46:10,519
Speaker 4: I wonder if they maybe just feel like they were

1862
01:46:10,560 --> 01:46:12,120
Speaker 4: just kind of upstarted by the fact that like we

1863
01:46:12,160 --> 01:46:14,840
Speaker 4: have to play a leak to two club. Why why

1864
01:46:14,880 --> 01:46:16,960
Speaker 4: do we have to do this? But you know that

1865
01:46:17,120 --> 01:46:19,680
Speaker 4: Wrexham is as big as any Premier League club right

1866
01:46:19,720 --> 01:46:22,960
Speaker 4: now thanks to that show, their merchandise sells the United States.

1867
01:46:23,560 --> 01:46:25,840
Speaker 4: This was a match people wanted to see and yeah,

1868
01:46:25,840 --> 01:46:29,040
Speaker 4: Wrexham can go home happy with it friendly. But you know,

1869
01:46:29,160 --> 01:46:32,840
Speaker 4: as they start their League two Challenge Challenge here in

1870
01:46:33,200 --> 01:46:34,920
Speaker 4: a couple of months, they might not be without Paul

1871
01:46:34,960 --> 01:46:37,360
Speaker 4: Mullens to start. Paul Mullen to start the season, which

1872
01:46:37,400 --> 01:46:38,519
Speaker 4: is a very huge blow.

1873
01:46:39,120 --> 01:46:41,160
Speaker 1: All right, let's move to the World Cup. At the

1874
01:46:41,200 --> 01:46:45,200
Speaker 1: open of the show, I ch chronicled what I thought

1875
01:46:45,200 --> 01:46:49,439
Speaker 1: were a couple of important takeaways from the US draw

1876
01:46:49,680 --> 01:46:52,559
Speaker 1: versus Netherlands. Chris, you can tell me what you think.

1877
01:46:52,680 --> 01:46:57,960
Speaker 1: One was that rose Leavelle is on a pitch count

1878
01:46:58,000 --> 01:47:00,960
Speaker 1: because of her knee. But with her not on the field,

1879
01:47:01,479 --> 01:47:03,519
Speaker 1: there's a main drop there's a big drop off. The

1880
01:47:03,560 --> 01:47:06,720
Speaker 1: second main issue in both games, whether it's Vietnam or

1881
01:47:06,720 --> 01:47:11,280
Speaker 1: in the Netherlands, this team is not finishing their offensive opportunities.

1882
01:47:11,479 --> 01:47:14,680
Speaker 1: Let's look ahead to Portugal, but first a quick synopsis

1883
01:47:14,720 --> 01:47:17,160
Speaker 1: of the first two games. Let's look ahead to Portugal

1884
01:47:17,160 --> 01:47:20,000
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. Your thoughts, well.

1885
01:47:19,840 --> 01:47:21,479
Speaker 4: The Portugal match is going to have to be a

1886
01:47:21,520 --> 01:47:24,599
Speaker 4: culmination of everything they've been learning here in the first

1887
01:47:24,640 --> 01:47:29,200
Speaker 4: two You know, Portugal is probably you know, I don't

1888
01:47:29,200 --> 01:47:31,880
Speaker 4: know if they're better than the Netherlands, but it's definitely

1889
01:47:31,920 --> 01:47:35,200
Speaker 4: another challenge. And you know, two games in with a draw,

1890
01:47:35,360 --> 01:47:38,720
Speaker 4: suddenly you've got yourself kind of hanging on. I think

1891
01:47:38,720 --> 01:47:40,840
Speaker 4: they're still comfortable to move on to the next to

1892
01:47:40,840 --> 01:47:44,000
Speaker 4: the knockout stage, but your wiggle room has absolutely kind

1893
01:47:44,000 --> 01:47:48,479
Speaker 4: of vanished. If you know, if if the Netherlands continues

1894
01:47:48,520 --> 01:47:49,840
Speaker 4: to perform well and there, well.

1895
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:53,519
Speaker 1: If they blow out Vietnam and and you know, Portugal,

1896
01:47:53,760 --> 01:47:56,200
Speaker 1: I'm coming up yah, yeah, I'm talking about the Netherlands.

1897
01:47:56,240 --> 01:47:58,400
Speaker 1: Of course, if they blow out Vietnam. Right now, the

1898
01:47:58,479 --> 01:48:01,960
Speaker 1: US has the goal differential, but the Netherlands only be

1899
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:04,240
Speaker 1: Portugal one nothing, So you got to believe that's going

1900
01:48:04,320 --> 01:48:05,920
Speaker 1: to be a hard fought match. So if the US

1901
01:48:05,960 --> 01:48:09,719
Speaker 1: has a draw there, they'll probably advance. But if Portugal

1902
01:48:09,760 --> 01:48:12,519
Speaker 1: blows out Vietnam, you don't win your group and you're

1903
01:48:12,560 --> 01:48:14,040
Speaker 1: not going to get as good a draw. Is that fair?

1904
01:48:14,680 --> 01:48:17,920
Speaker 4: Right? And Portugal for that matter, you know, they have

1905
01:48:18,120 --> 01:48:20,080
Speaker 4: lost the Netherlands. But you know, they have a win

1906
01:48:20,120 --> 01:48:22,320
Speaker 4: over Vietnam as well, so this is just going to

1907
01:48:22,400 --> 01:48:26,479
Speaker 4: get all kinds of tight right now. I think just

1908
01:48:26,720 --> 01:48:29,000
Speaker 4: in general, they just need to settle on the lineup

1909
01:48:29,040 --> 01:48:30,640
Speaker 4: and just go with it. As you say, they're not

1910
01:48:30,720 --> 01:48:33,280
Speaker 4: really finishing their stuff. They had Sophia Smith really getting

1911
01:48:33,280 --> 01:48:36,720
Speaker 4: involved in the first game against Vietnam, but really it's

1912
01:48:36,720 --> 01:48:39,920
Speaker 4: been Lindsay Horan to really save the day and in

1913
01:48:40,040 --> 01:48:43,040
Speaker 4: Bogue games in a lot of ways, and especially in

1914
01:48:43,080 --> 01:48:45,960
Speaker 4: that midfield, like having Rosel Yeah, as you say, had

1915
01:48:45,960 --> 01:48:48,920
Speaker 4: not having a Rose there is really hurting them. There's

1916
01:48:48,960 --> 01:48:51,439
Speaker 4: just they've been really lost on the defense. They've been

1917
01:48:51,520 --> 01:48:55,360
Speaker 4: really lost kind of in the midfield. You know, I'm

1918
01:48:55,360 --> 01:48:57,479
Speaker 4: not really sure what Crystal Dunn was really doing out there.

1919
01:48:57,479 --> 01:48:59,559
Speaker 4: But yeah, the bigger problem is that they're just not

1920
01:48:59,680 --> 01:49:02,880
Speaker 4: finished on this. They have all these prolific strikers and

1921
01:49:02,920 --> 01:49:05,120
Speaker 4: it looked like the Netherlands just knew what they were

1922
01:49:05,160 --> 01:49:07,160
Speaker 4: going to do and stop them every time they came in.

1923
01:49:07,439 --> 01:49:09,240
Speaker 1: Let me jump in real quick. You look at your

1924
01:49:09,240 --> 01:49:12,640
Speaker 1: three forwards. Alex Morgan, who's clearly lost the yard offer fastball,

1925
01:49:12,960 --> 01:49:16,080
Speaker 1: she's in the middle. You got Sylphia Smith and Trinity Rodman,

1926
01:49:16,160 --> 01:49:19,280
Speaker 1: the daughter of Dennis. They're on the flanks. They're showing

1927
01:49:19,320 --> 01:49:21,440
Speaker 1: your inexperience now in my opinion.

1928
01:49:21,840 --> 01:49:24,519
Speaker 4: Yes, and I would say definitely definitely Trinity Robin more

1929
01:49:24,520 --> 01:49:28,320
Speaker 4: than Sophia Smith's. So Sophia Smith's probably a little longer together.

1930
01:49:28,439 --> 01:49:31,240
Speaker 4: But like Rodbin, not showing up in these past two

1931
01:49:31,240 --> 01:49:32,920
Speaker 4: games has been very disappointing.

1932
01:49:33,720 --> 01:49:35,599
Speaker 1: So they score the one goal on the set piece

1933
01:49:35,640 --> 01:49:39,439
Speaker 1: and an almost perfect corner kid by roose level and

1934
01:49:39,520 --> 01:49:41,479
Speaker 1: you know, that's what you want. They had a misdirect

1935
01:49:41,520 --> 01:49:44,439
Speaker 1: a goalie. They're almost impossible to stop. But I didn't see,

1936
01:49:44,520 --> 01:49:49,120
Speaker 1: you know, Chris, final thought. I thought the Netherlands they

1937
01:49:49,160 --> 01:49:53,320
Speaker 1: were far more technical. I thought that they frankly they

1938
01:49:53,360 --> 01:49:56,160
Speaker 1: out coached the US and and and they you know,

1939
01:49:56,240 --> 01:49:58,320
Speaker 1: in terms of possession in the first half. It was.

1940
01:49:58,360 --> 01:50:02,160
Speaker 1: It was dramatic. And I don't know that much about Portugal.

1941
01:50:02,560 --> 01:50:04,519
Speaker 1: But I said last week, would it surprise you if

1942
01:50:04,520 --> 01:50:07,360
Speaker 1: the Netherlands got a draw or one? We both said no,

1943
01:50:07,400 --> 01:50:11,040
Speaker 1: would it surprised you if Portugal got a draw or one?

1944
01:50:12,640 --> 01:50:15,400
Speaker 4: I think it would just because I would really hope

1945
01:50:15,400 --> 01:50:17,080
Speaker 4: for the women's team that this is kind of a

1946
01:50:17,120 --> 01:50:20,040
Speaker 4: wake up call, like you work down for a large,

1947
01:50:20,439 --> 01:50:22,800
Speaker 4: large amount of this game, and this is if I

1948
01:50:22,960 --> 01:50:25,160
Speaker 4: had ended a loss, it would be a truth. It

1949
01:50:25,200 --> 01:50:27,960
Speaker 4: would be an absolute tragedy. And again we're only here

1950
01:50:27,960 --> 01:50:32,000
Speaker 4: with a draw because of Lindsay Horan's heroics. So I

1951
01:50:32,000 --> 01:50:34,519
Speaker 4: don't really know what to do. I know Savannah Demelo

1952
01:50:34,760 --> 01:50:38,160
Speaker 4: was and Andy Sullivan were vowing to prove the US

1953
01:50:38,280 --> 01:50:41,920
Speaker 4: women's performance after this, and you know they're very upset

1954
01:50:41,960 --> 01:50:44,080
Speaker 4: with the with the draw itself. But I just don't

1955
01:50:44,080 --> 01:50:47,240
Speaker 4: know where we really go from here. Like I, you know,

1956
01:50:47,320 --> 01:50:48,920
Speaker 4: you've got what, You've got one more chance to get

1957
01:50:48,920 --> 01:50:50,439
Speaker 4: this line up figured out. It's going to get a

1958
01:50:50,439 --> 01:50:52,080
Speaker 4: lot harder than knockout rounds.

1959
01:50:53,200 --> 01:50:56,920
Speaker 1: Finally, let's talk about HIMBOPPI and I talked about it

1960
01:50:57,320 --> 01:51:01,080
Speaker 1: earlier in the show, putting an in perspective, comparing what

1961
01:51:01,160 --> 01:51:04,240
Speaker 1: he would have made in one year compared to Lebron's

1962
01:51:04,400 --> 01:51:08,280
Speaker 1: entire career. What Patrick Mahomes gets, the Mets entire payroll,

1963
01:51:08,680 --> 01:51:12,160
Speaker 1: the NFL salary cap, all the way down to if

1964
01:51:12,160 --> 01:51:14,559
Speaker 1: he'd just signed that deal, he'd make eighty eight five

1965
01:51:14,640 --> 01:51:16,960
Speaker 1: hundred dollars every hour. What are your thoughts on the

1966
01:51:16,960 --> 01:51:18,840
Speaker 1: Imbope deal that he'd try that.

1967
01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:21,639
Speaker 4: I think I think we've taken all the wrong track.

1968
01:51:21,920 --> 01:51:25,040
Speaker 4: By the way, it sounds like Embobe is beyond uninterested

1969
01:51:25,040 --> 01:51:27,559
Speaker 4: in this, and he has his eyes set on joining

1970
01:51:27,600 --> 01:51:29,680
Speaker 4: Real Madrid here, which is setting up a class with

1971
01:51:29,760 --> 01:51:31,920
Speaker 4: him with Parising Jermaine. But I think us in the

1972
01:51:32,040 --> 01:51:34,680
Speaker 4: United States kind of have taken along the wrong track. Us.

1973
01:51:34,680 --> 01:51:37,680
Speaker 4: I've heard a lot of people in our industry and

1974
01:51:37,720 --> 01:51:40,960
Speaker 4: in writing talking about like you know, and Lebron himself

1975
01:51:40,960 --> 01:51:43,519
Speaker 4: talking about on their way to you know, get this money,

1976
01:51:43,560 --> 01:51:46,040
Speaker 4: and he doesn't really matter where it's coming from. They'll

1977
01:51:46,080 --> 01:51:48,040
Speaker 4: they'll be fine with it for one year. But this

1978
01:51:48,120 --> 01:51:51,000
Speaker 4: is a very The problem with the Saudis is that

1979
01:51:51,040 --> 01:51:54,559
Speaker 4: this is a very stated political goal. And when you're

1980
01:51:54,600 --> 01:51:56,639
Speaker 4: doing and when you're taking this kind of money, it's

1981
01:51:56,680 --> 01:51:58,960
Speaker 4: coming with the assurance is that not only are you

1982
01:51:59,160 --> 01:52:02,320
Speaker 4: going over there to play a sport, you are doing

1983
01:52:02,960 --> 01:52:07,479
Speaker 4: political You are doing political and public relations for Mohammed

1984
01:52:07,520 --> 01:52:10,840
Speaker 4: ben Salomon and for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. And

1985
01:52:10,880 --> 01:52:13,720
Speaker 4: it comes with a lot of implications tied to that

1986
01:52:13,800 --> 01:52:15,800
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, and for someone in

1987
01:52:15,880 --> 01:52:17,800
Speaker 4: a Killian and Bapi. It also comes with the fact

1988
01:52:17,800 --> 01:52:20,240
Speaker 4: that they're not building a good domestic league over there.

1989
01:52:20,240 --> 01:52:22,880
Speaker 4: This isn't like going to the MLS. All law is

1990
01:52:22,920 --> 01:52:26,400
Speaker 4: not going to just suddenly be you know, the cornerstone

1991
01:52:26,400 --> 01:52:30,000
Speaker 4: for a new enriched Saudi league that is going to compete,

1992
01:52:30,200 --> 01:52:32,439
Speaker 4: you know, and eventually be invited for Champions League or

1993
01:52:32,439 --> 01:52:35,519
Speaker 4: anything like that like this. This is always just it's

1994
01:52:35,560 --> 01:52:39,240
Speaker 4: going over there to be one Harlem globe trotter among

1995
01:52:39,280 --> 01:52:43,160
Speaker 4: a league of New York generals. Nobody will take your

1996
01:52:43,200 --> 01:52:46,800
Speaker 4: career seriously, especially if you're as young as Killian and Babe.

1997
01:52:46,960 --> 01:52:49,280
Speaker 4: If you take one year over there and then come back.

1998
01:52:49,560 --> 01:52:51,880
Speaker 4: I know it's an eyewatering amount of money, but it's

1999
01:52:51,920 --> 01:52:55,240
Speaker 4: designed to be an eye watering amount of money because

2000
01:52:55,280 --> 01:52:57,599
Speaker 4: this is what they want. This is what the King

2001
01:52:57,640 --> 01:53:00,639
Speaker 4: of Saudi Arabia wants. They want this so that they

2002
01:53:00,680 --> 01:53:02,920
Speaker 4: have this money to throw around and this is their

2003
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:06,240
Speaker 4: power to use. And I know people are tired of

2004
01:53:06,280 --> 01:53:10,360
Speaker 4: hearing the sports washing word. I don't think right now

2005
01:53:10,439 --> 01:53:12,800
Speaker 4: I have the time really to get in depth into

2006
01:53:12,840 --> 01:53:15,720
Speaker 4: all of it. But again, I don't think it's as

2007
01:53:15,720 --> 01:53:17,880
Speaker 4: simple as hey, look at all this money he could

2008
01:53:17,920 --> 01:53:22,000
Speaker 4: have made. And turning down. It's a lot more complicated

2009
01:53:22,040 --> 01:53:25,759
Speaker 4: than that. I just don't think our American sports media

2010
01:53:25,920 --> 01:53:29,120
Speaker 4: has the context in mind when we discuss killing and

2011
01:53:29,200 --> 01:53:30,800
Speaker 4: baba here. But I also think he made the right

2012
01:53:30,840 --> 01:53:33,639
Speaker 4: decision for his career. It's going to be far more

2013
01:53:33,680 --> 01:53:36,160
Speaker 4: respectable for him going to Real Madrid than taking a

2014
01:53:36,160 --> 01:53:39,599
Speaker 4: one year fiesta with all the lull no matter the payday.

2015
01:53:40,640 --> 01:53:42,840
Speaker 1: All right, Chris, we're seeing twenty four hours. The way

2016
01:53:42,920 --> 01:53:46,439
Speaker 1: this soccer news cycle works wouldn't have surprised me if

2017
01:53:46,439 --> 01:53:48,759
Speaker 1: something crazy happens on Saturday.

2018
01:53:48,840 --> 01:53:51,040
Speaker 4: Always something, but this time year, Bernie.

2019
01:53:50,720 --> 01:53:55,639
Speaker 1: Thanks, it's Chris Perfence World of Soccer. You notice how

2020
01:53:55,640 --> 01:53:57,519
Speaker 1: a lot of other shows are starting to talk soccer

2021
01:53:57,560 --> 01:54:01,799
Speaker 1: now we've been doing it for eighteen months, because it's coming.

2022
01:54:02,120 --> 01:54:04,519
Speaker 1: This time, it's gonna stick. And I gave my reasons

2023
01:54:04,520 --> 01:54:08,559
Speaker 1: why the Canadian Football League syndrome no longer applies. These

2024
01:54:08,600 --> 01:54:11,639
Speaker 1: guys are becoming household names. Just look at what Messi's

2025
01:54:11,640 --> 01:54:15,040
Speaker 1: doing in Miami's only been there a week, all right,

2026
01:54:15,120 --> 01:54:19,360
Speaker 1: Coming up, the NFL flips to the next round of

2027
01:54:19,920 --> 01:54:24,800
Speaker 1: gambling policies. I'll explain. I'm Bernie Fradderer Keunedy Life from

2041
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:15,320
Speaker 1: Come to Live from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio

2042
01:55:15,440 --> 01:55:18,240
Speaker 1: Tyrack dot Com studios back on these airwaves eleven pm

2043
01:55:18,240 --> 01:55:20,560
Speaker 1: Pacific Saturday night. But before I go any further, I

2044
01:55:20,600 --> 01:55:23,360
Speaker 1: want to think my broadcast team been with me since

2045
01:55:23,400 --> 01:55:28,960
Speaker 1: eleven pm Pacific on Friday night in our Los Angeles compound. That,

2046
01:55:29,080 --> 01:55:31,760
Speaker 1: of course would be our technical producer, Mark Ramsey, Kevin

2047
01:55:31,760 --> 01:55:35,520
Speaker 1: Wyatt on the Updates, and Ethan Miller, creator of the

2048
01:55:35,560 --> 01:55:40,040
Speaker 1: Bernie Fraddle trivia game. Which completed its third round tonight.

2049
01:55:41,680 --> 01:55:45,520
Speaker 1: Job guys, all right, So, by the way, I said

2050
01:55:45,520 --> 01:55:47,160
Speaker 1: this at the top of the show, you know, showhey.

2051
01:55:47,200 --> 01:55:50,440
Speaker 1: Otani now has thirty nine home runs this season. The

2052
01:55:50,480 --> 01:55:54,160
Speaker 1: odds posted by William Hill are seven to one that

2053
01:55:54,240 --> 01:55:58,000
Speaker 1: Otani would break Aaron Judge's record of sixty two last year.

2054
01:55:59,000 --> 01:56:02,160
Speaker 1: But if you all are an NFL player, you'd best

2055
01:56:02,200 --> 01:56:05,919
Speaker 1: not bet on that. There have been eleven players suspended

2056
01:56:05,960 --> 01:56:08,320
Speaker 1: down in less than two years for violating the NFL's

2057
01:56:08,360 --> 01:56:11,680
Speaker 1: gambling policy. So I don't know how in the hell

2058
01:56:11,840 --> 01:56:15,600
Speaker 1: any player could possibly say he's not aware of the rule.

2059
01:56:16,560 --> 01:56:20,640
Speaker 1: That just wouldn't fly. But there are schools of thought

2060
01:56:20,800 --> 01:56:24,720
Speaker 1: having to do with has the NFL, even though they've

2061
01:56:24,720 --> 01:56:30,240
Speaker 1: been explaining it, and there have been symposiums, is it

2062
01:56:30,360 --> 01:56:36,040
Speaker 1: being is explained as succinctly and clearly as it should be?

2063
01:56:37,520 --> 01:56:40,840
Speaker 1: Are the terms? Are they as clear and consistent as

2064
01:56:40,880 --> 01:56:43,640
Speaker 1: they could be? And from team to team is the

2065
01:56:43,720 --> 01:56:47,280
Speaker 1: message as clear and consistent as it could be? And

2066
01:56:48,440 --> 01:56:50,840
Speaker 1: the sixty four dollars question, which I think you probably

2067
01:56:50,840 --> 01:56:53,280
Speaker 1: know the answer to when you look at the NFL's

2068
01:56:53,280 --> 01:56:58,040
Speaker 1: approach to gambling, is it hypocritical? Of course? It is.

2069
01:56:59,280 --> 01:57:02,440
Speaker 1: Are the teams? I don't know? I think they are.

2070
01:57:03,080 --> 01:57:07,640
Speaker 1: Could they be better? Probably? Look, it's not that hard,

2071
01:57:07,720 --> 01:57:11,600
Speaker 1: can we you mystified? For one last time, Never bet

2072
01:57:11,600 --> 01:57:14,000
Speaker 1: on any NFL team or any NFL event. Never bet

2073
01:57:14,040 --> 01:57:17,120
Speaker 1: on sports wire at work or you're traveling for work,

2074
01:57:17,240 --> 01:57:22,920
Speaker 1: team playing, team hotel, team facilities, team practice. And also

2075
01:57:23,040 --> 01:57:25,200
Speaker 1: don't bet on any sports where it's not legal to

2076
01:57:25,200 --> 01:57:28,160
Speaker 1: do so. For some reason, that one seems to be

2077
01:57:28,280 --> 01:57:31,000
Speaker 1: lost on players. So what a player is going to do?

2078
01:57:31,800 --> 01:57:34,960
Speaker 1: What would the league do? Excuse me about players who

2079
01:57:35,360 --> 01:57:39,800
Speaker 1: have gambling additions? They might it's possible if the league

2080
01:57:39,840 --> 01:57:42,440
Speaker 1: is going to profit from gambling, the league needs to

2081
01:57:42,480 --> 01:57:46,080
Speaker 1: care about, maybe individually, taking care of players who have

2082
01:57:46,240 --> 01:57:49,880
Speaker 1: done enough gambling that might create a distraction, possibly eave

2083
01:57:49,880 --> 01:57:52,040
Speaker 1: it in an illness, And the league needs to be

2084
01:57:52,040 --> 01:57:55,320
Speaker 1: able to intervene and treat because if they violate the

2085
01:57:55,320 --> 01:57:58,280
Speaker 1: gambling policy, maybe they don't mean to, maybe they can't

2086
01:57:58,280 --> 01:58:02,520
Speaker 1: help it, maybe they're addicted to it. It's an important issue. Okay,

2087
01:58:03,600 --> 01:58:05,960
Speaker 1: the league care? Does a league care about their players?

2088
01:58:06,040 --> 01:58:09,560
Speaker 1: Do they care about their policies? Their educational efforts I

2089
01:58:09,600 --> 01:58:12,280
Speaker 1: believe have been significant, but they're not one hundred percent

2090
01:58:12,360 --> 01:58:17,600
Speaker 1: successful now ten out of seventeen hundred players. I don't

2091
01:58:17,600 --> 01:58:20,160
Speaker 1: think we have a gambling problem. No, ten out of

2092
01:58:20,160 --> 01:58:24,640
Speaker 1: seventeen hundred players. But actions speak louder than words. There's

2093
01:58:24,680 --> 01:58:26,840
Speaker 1: one way for the league to prove it cares about

2094
01:58:26,840 --> 01:58:30,120
Speaker 1: their players. They need to establish a dialogue with the union,

2095
01:58:30,240 --> 01:58:34,400
Speaker 1: develop a strategy for screening players for gambling addictions, detect

2096
01:58:34,440 --> 01:58:38,640
Speaker 1: who might have the addiction, help players overcome them. Yes,

2097
01:58:39,120 --> 01:58:42,720
Speaker 1: this is real. They're human. Yes they play football, but

2098
01:58:42,800 --> 01:58:46,160
Speaker 1: they're human beings. First, it's going to do it for

2099
01:58:46,200 --> 01:58:48,800
Speaker 1: the Bernie Frattle Show. Yes, I'll be back on these

2100
01:58:48,880 --> 01:58:53,200
Speaker 1: airwaves Saturday night, eleven pm. Absolute jam Pack Show. We

2101
01:58:53,240 --> 01:58:55,920
Speaker 1: dive into the NFL in the meantime, keep it locked

2102
01:58:56,040 --> 01:58:59,879
Speaker 1: up next. They're great. Anthony Gargano on Fox Sports Radio
