1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 2: Well, that's right, you heard the man that time of week.

00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,319
Speaker 2: My name is Bernie Frattle. We're coming you live from

7
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: The way tire buying should be a cornucopia of content tonight,

8
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: how's that for some alliteration? Got the legendary crack Man

9
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 2: in fifteen minutes to talk about betting. Bernie's trivia game

10
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: resumes at twelve midnight. The irrepressible James Harden runs his

11
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 2: mouth final thoughts on the Kevin Brown Oriole saga. We

12
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 2: got plenty of NFL preseason stuff. I'll take you behind

13
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 2: the curtain on what's happening with Jim Harborugh Michigan, but

14
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: we begin with our national pastime. We might be living

15
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: in bizarre world because you know, there's only two types

16
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: of people in the world, those who are Yankees fans

17
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: and those who aren't. Not not a Yankees fan per se,

18
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: but I think Major League Baseball is better when the

19
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 2: Yankees are good. So the question is what the hell

20
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 2: happened to the Yankees? Remember it's whether you hate the

21
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: Yankees or not. The opposite of love is not hate,

22
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 2: its indifference. And again, major League Baseball is more interesting

23
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 2: when the Yankees are good because people hate watch people

24
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 2: root come on, man, give it up. Twenty seven championships,

25
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: but less than a year ago, the Yankees were one

26
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 2: series away from going back to the World Series. Aaron

27
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: Judge was having a tremendous year. Everything seemed right with

28
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: the world. One year later, they fall one game under

29
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: five hundred after getting swept by the Braves and shout

30
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: out back to back nights heading into Thursday. This team

31
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: hasn't been under five hundreds this late in the year

32
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: since nineteen ninety five, and that was the year they

33
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: ended up firing Buck show Walter. In the following year,

34
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: well you know what happened. Jeter and Posada and Bernie

35
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: Williams came in, and you know what happened. How in

36
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: the hell did everything goes so wrong so quickly? This

37
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: is an unmitigated disaster. Don't you know the Yankees have

38
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: a god given right to be good. Don't you know

39
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: that there's been movies made about them from top to bottom.

40
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 2: This has been an unadulterated disaster, a failure from top

41
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: to bottom roster construction. Numerous players have tremendously underperformed, a

42
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: failure to provide any hope. What would you what have

43
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: you seen? By the way, spoiler larned, the Ancas are

44
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: now two games under five hundred. They were done before

45
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: the seats were warmed. You know, Friday night it was

46
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: seven to nothing and they ended up losing eight to three.

47
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 2: What have you seen that would give you hope that

48
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: things could turn around in the next thirty nine games?

49
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 2: I get you know, you could officially say the season's off.

50
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: The reels. These are supposed to be the quote Bronx Bombers.

51
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: They're shut out twice this week in consecutive games by

52
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: the Brays pitching. They managed to get all of four hits.

53
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: All of them were singles against fifty eight year old

54
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 2: Charlie Morton, whose curveball looked like Burt Blylevans. All of

55
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: a sudden, the Atlanta bullpen shoved the Yankees, batch up,

56
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: their collective took us. The Yankees heading into tonight sixty

57
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: and sixty one again, I'll repeat myself the latest point

58
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: in the season. The organization's been under five hundred since

59
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety five. They are now seven and a half

60
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: games out of a wild card spot, three and a

61
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: half games behind the fourth game behind the fourth place

62
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: Red Sox. Excuse me, okay, So here's the question. How'd

63
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: they get here? What's real simple? The Yankees offense has

64
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: struggled all season. They started slow and now they've faded.

65
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: You follow me, They've fallen off a cliff. They're an

66
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: villain of bugs bunny cartoon. It's gotten even worse since

67
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: the All Star break. They're eleven and twenty. Since the

68
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: All Star break, they've only scored more than five runs

69
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 2: nine of the last thirty one games. They scored three

70
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 2: Friday and were shout out to two before. Oh and

71
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: by the way, the injury bug, Anthony Rizzo, Carlos Radon,

72
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 2: Nestor Cortes, they're all on the aisle. But they're deeper issues.

73
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: Not just that. There are plenty of systemic issues that

74
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: have caused the Yankees' demise. You look at the roster. Frankly,

75
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: it's poorly constructed. They decided at the trade deadline not

76
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 2: to do anything much to the chagrin of the Yankees

77
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: faithful and the truth of the matter is, I think

78
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: it's probable that the Yankees missed the playoffs for the

79
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: first time since twenty sixteen, because at this rate, there's

80
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: a fifty to fifty chance not only did the Yankees

81
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: not make the playoffs, they'll finish under five hundred and oh,

82
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 2: by the way, they don't have a god given right

83
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 2: not to finish under five hundred. I believe they finished

84
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: under five hundred in nineteen ninety three, thirty years. In

85
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 2: case you're scoring at home, Aaron Boone was a freshman

86
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 2: at USC then struggling to get in the lineup in

87
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: the baseball team after having graduated from Villa Park High School,

88
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: same high school as Kevin Costner. But I digress. So

89
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 2: where do you go from here, Yankees? I don't know,

90
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 2: Home dinner, maybe a show. Could this lead to real

91
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 2: substantial changes in the offseason. Truth of the matter is,

92
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: Aaron Boone and even Brian Cashman must be feeling some heat,

93
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: and there's no indication they're going to turn around anytime soon.

94
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 2: In the Bronx and now all the second guessers are

95
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: coming out. Everybody's wondering Why Why did you run it

96
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 2: back with the same offense that got embarrassed by the

97
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: Astros in the ALCS last year? Why the Yankees offense

98
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 2: has continually been exploited by opposing team in the playoffs

99
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 2: for a long time, many years. The front office, though,

100
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: just keeps running it back. But the offense is putrid

101
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: and it's the real reason why they're below five hundred

102
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: and why this season is likely done. So this sixty

103
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: four dollars question, will there be turnover this offseason if

104
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: they missed the playoffs, which it's likely they'll miss the playoffs,

105
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: The question is can they finish about five hundred? I

106
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 2: think you have to expect turnover. Hal Steinbrenner the Sun,

107
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: George Steinbrenner must be just spinning in his grave. He

108
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 2: said he was going to have to ask quote hard

109
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 2: questions if that result happened, meaning they missed the playoffs

110
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: and we're almost there. What kind of hard questions? I mean,

111
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: that sounds like a pre programmed platitude from a guy

112
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 2: who's probably in over his head. But he had the

113
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 2: right last name, he was in the right stomach at

114
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 2: the right time, so he gets to run the Yankees. Meanwhile,

115
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 2: Aaron Boone is I guess, the likeliest to be replaced.

116
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: But in this era of analytics and managing the manager

117
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 2: from the computer, he's been dutiful. But I know Erin.

118
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 2: I've known him a long time. He's a good guy,

119
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 2: he's a smart guy. He's not the right guy to

120
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 2: light a fire under their ass. Maybe they can bring

121
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: back Billy Martin, even in his current state. I think

122
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: he'd have more fire in that clubhouse. Aaron just can't

123
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: get the own fiut of this team. He's not a

124
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: bad guy, but he's and I won't say he's in

125
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: over his head, but there are horses for courses, and

126
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 2: Aaron Boone clearly is the wrong horse for this course.

127
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: The Yankees are going to miss the playoffs, and if

128
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 2: they don't want, you know, look, they got this beautiful ballpark.

129
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 2: It's where the game was invented. It's just fat fabulous

130
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 2: when the Yankees are doing well, because even the haters

131
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 2: come out to root against him. But if hal Steinbrownder

132
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 2: isn't already looking at every level of the organization because

133
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: of how stale everything feels, there's nothing that's going to

134
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 2: change this year, next year, or for years to come.

135
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 2: It doesn't just happen automatically. So there you have it, Folks,

136
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 2: the Yankees. Some people there's a palpable sense of glee

137
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: when the Yankees fall on their face. And for other people, well,

138
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: they're not going to sleep well tonight or sleep well

139
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 2: during the offseason when you spend that much money and

140
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: you're really not competitive, and they're not competitive right now,

141
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 2: they're not. Look at the body language on that team,

142
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 2: look at the physical attitude. Something really really long here. Okay,

143
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: coming up, the legendary Bill Crackman. His Sunday show Countdown

144
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 2: to kick Off with Brian know has been renewed. We're

145
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 2: going to talk about that, among many other things, his

146
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 2: thoughts on hard knocks, sports betting, NFL betting, and yeah,

147
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 2: we're gonna get into a little bit about the upcoming

148
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 2: book this Tuesday or Wednesday. Billy Walters on Phil Nicholson,

149
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: as Crackman knows just about everybody. I won't spoil it

150

00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 3: That's right, seven am. We're on seven to ten ams Sundays,

184
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 3: and we're starting a little early this year. Yeah, starting

185
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 3: the Sunday. Look forward to it.

186
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 2: So just take a minute to share with the folks,

187
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 2: primarily what your game plan is. I mean, I know

188
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 2: what it is, but obviously it's a show that caught

189
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,599
Speaker 2: on and you're a key figure. Give the folks a

190
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: brief sample.

191
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 3: Well, I like to give a lot of the sports

192
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 3: betting insight our show. We try to keep it like

193
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 3: seventy percent for thirty percent gambling but sports betting. But

194
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 3: it kind of creeps up there more and more with

195
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 3: me on the show, because that's really all I talk about.

196
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 3: Last year was an amazing year, the first time trial

197
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 3: for this type of show for me. Seven to ten,

198
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 3: so you're right there before kickoffs on Sunday mornings, and

199
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 3: it was really interesting because I do a lot of

200
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 3: betting that time of the day. I'm doing a lot

201
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 3: of betting normal at that time of the day, right,

202
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 3: So instead I'm gonna I'm going to combine this and

203
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 3: institute it in right in for the show for me

204
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 3: to do betting live as I'm on the show, my

205
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 3: guys giving me information like on the props on different

206
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 3: special situations and weather there. First week last year we

207
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 3: had a giant giant weather Andicago and fat France, and

208
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 3: we were able to actually implement some props around the

209
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 3: show that day that were because of that weather and

210
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 3: made the people listening some money because we went to

211
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 3: a ol.

212
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: Well, certainly people listen for the entertainment value, but they

213
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 2: listen for your winners as well. All Right, You made

214
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 2: a great observation in our phone conversation the other day

215
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 2: in terms of the correlation betweens and between teams that

216
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 2: are on Hard Knocks and perhaps a false impression. I

217
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 2: share with the folks what your insight was on that.

218
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, that was something I noticed really last year

219
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 3: with the curry Lyons, now this year with the Judge.

220
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 3: By the way, I think they do a great job

221
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 3: at following around the key players and even the rookies

222
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 3: and stuff. They do a really good job at Hard Knocks.

223
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 3: I really enjoyed the show. However, I like to say this,

224
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 3: your eyes played tricks on you. Because you're home the viewer.

225
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 3: You're only seeing a lot of the good stuff. You

226
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,599
Speaker 3: see a little bit bad, but a lot of the

227
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 3: good stuff. So they make guys like this year Aaron

228
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 3: Radtors going to New York, the fans and at the

229
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 3: workout facilities, it's the fulling crazy form him get on

230
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 3: the sidelines, all the team getting pumped up. They show

231
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 3: you all this positive stuff, but you have to remember

232
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 3: so automatically when you're done watching the first episode, second episode,

233
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 3: you say, Wow, they're gonna be good this year, no

234
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 3: matter who their profile, especially like the Browns years ago.

235
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 3: A lot of teams like this, you get so pumped

236
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 3: up on them. You got to remember this is happening

237
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 3: in every other camp, every other team is going with

238
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 3: the same thing, just that the cameras and the eyes

239
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 3: are not on them. So I thought that was kind

240
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 3: of interesting. I wouldn't rush right out and bet anything

241
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 3: over on them. As a matter of fact, to be

242
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 3: real honest with you, I actually lean to the under

243
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 3: on them.

244
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 4: A little bit.

245
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 3: But I kind a really good line out here in Vegas.

246
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 3: Live in Vegas. You'll find a lot of different line sets,

247
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 3: and I found it ten.

248
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: So, oh my god, you found it? Yeah, yes, Oh

249
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 2: my goodness. Was it? Was it shaded? Was it shaded

250
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 2: to the.

251
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 3: Under tens to twenty? I text? Okay, I text Chris,

252
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 3: and Chris was the line manager there, and I to

253
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 3: point and uh, you know, then to make them they're

254
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 3: going to take I don't want to go down there

255
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 3: for one hundred dollars. I'll make a pretty big bet,

256
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 3: he said, come down and bring you money.

257
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 2: So well, I was about to ask you if you'd

258
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 2: seen any tens in town. What that essentially means is

259
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 2: for you to lose that bet, the bets would the

260
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 2: Jets would have to go eleven and six. That might

261
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 2: not be so easy, especially look at their first six

262
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 2: weeks it's and they're in a very tough games. They're

263
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 2: they're in a very tough division as well. And to

264
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 2: your point, I think you've got a little bit of

265
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: a target on their back. Excellent roster, but listen, the

266
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 2: National Football League can be very unforgiving. Every week you're

267
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 2: playing a team with a trained assassins.

268
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 3: All right, have a sport to beat the the beat

269
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 3: betting sports. The hardest thing to beat is NFL side.

270
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 2: Yes, million percent, million percent. There are many distinct disadvantages

271
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 2: the average better as we don't have time to get

272
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 2: into tonight. But what what we do have time to

273
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 2: get into is, uh, the story broke last week. Billy

274
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 2: Walter's book is coming out I think Tuesday, and you

275
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 2: know Billy, and obviously Phil Michelson is mentioned. What were

276
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 2: some of your takeaways from the early reportage and the

277
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 2: excerpts on the book? Knowing that you know Billy Walters.

278
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 3: Of course, of course I'm going to have his back

279
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 3: because I'm just a loyal person anyone. And I have

280
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 3: his back because I know the kind of person he is,

281
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 3: I know the generosity, I know the people he's helped

282
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 3: and and I know you know what people some people

283
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 3: get upset because you know, he bet the wrong way

284
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 3: in the game. He moved the line the wrong way,

285
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 3: and they make it as set of that. That's just

286
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 3: part of the cat and mouse. The real Billy Walters, though,

287
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 3: has been very very generous, very good to people, really

288
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 3: good they're just a really good person. So that book, yeah,

289
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: I guess he's a little bit hurt. Yeah, absolutely, he

290
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 3: could have been I don't know the word exonerated, but

291
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 3: he would have had Phil Nichols someone had stuck up

292
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 3: for him a little bit and maybe gone the stand

293
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 3: and and you know, stuck up for Billy a little bit.

294
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 3: You know, maybe you wouldn't have to go away and listen,

295
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 3: when he went away, his daughter committed suicide. So he's

296
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 3: very hurt from that. And that's that's the situation there.

297
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 3: So I'm looking forward to the book. Uh look, you

298
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 3: know that you could see that they're giving little drips

299
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 3: in your ReBs out in the press right now and

300
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 3: the other some of the media sources were actually like saying,

301
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 3: oh my god, people love Philly. You want to stand

302
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 3: burn of this.

303
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: Absolutely, we love Bill.

304
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 3: So they don't know what kind of a person is internally,

305
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 3: and you know, and I guess you're you're reading Billy

306
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 3: Walter's take on it in this book. You're absolutely right.

307
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 2: Well, and and of course Billy has a very rich,

308
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 2: interesting life story, and perhaps you can find it on YouTube.

309
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 2: But in twenty ten sixty minutes, I did you know,

310
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: a feature on him full twenty minutes and part of it,

311
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: part of it was was filmed at the m resort

312
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 2: here in terms of we're at some of the interviews

313
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 2: took place. So I really just on a pure fluke.

314
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 2: I just moved here. I happened to walk in one day.

315
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 2: He was in there. I didn't meet him, but yeah, no,

316
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 2: I I he's Everything you say about Billy Walters is true.

317
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 2: So as we look ahead the remaining portion of the preseason,

318
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 2: what observations that you make and what are some of

319
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 2: the trends perhaps props you're looking toward as we get

320
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:25,479
Speaker 2: into the regular season.

321
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 3: What observations that I made? Well, you got to listen

322
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 3: to Bernie Fratto. I think you only you only give

323
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 3: me one beat one preseason game a year. I think

324
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 3: this is now two or three and oh so good

325
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 3: job on Cleveland the other day. But uh, and just

326
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 3: to go by myself, so it's it's really about a

327
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 3: lot beata. You have to read stuff of the beat writers,

328
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 3: say Bernie, that's the number one thing. Listen. It's a

329
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 3: lot of work. It's not easy beaten sports, but you

330
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 3: have to put the time to work in. I have

331
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 3: a good team around me. One reads just socials and

332
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 3: I'll tell you, like just today, he gave me the

333
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 3: Chicago Bear beat writer something that he said they weren't

334
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 3: going to start like their starters or whatever it may be.

335
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 3: And you just follow the beat writers more than anything.

336
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 3: After they put there, you just follow them. Get the

337
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 3: notification because after they put that out there, it'll take

338
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 3: five minutes probably, and then the line will automatically move,

339
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 3: especially on these preseasons. That's what I'm looking too.

340
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 2: And of course I've said it a thousand times. The

341
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 2: preseason is the only contest where in a professional setting

342
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 2: you've got one team that wants to win and the

343
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 2: other team doesn't care if they win. And if you

344
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 2: can understand which coaches feel that way, and combine that

345
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 2: with the quarterback rotations, you give yourself a chance as

346
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 2: we get into the regular season. Crack, what are some

347
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 2: things you are looking to that have caught your eye.

348
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I like to bet a lot of

349
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 3: the season long props. I think it's worth the roive

350
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 3: tying up your bank roll for you know, four or

351
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 3: five months, And I'm primarily primarily looking for unders. To

352
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 3: be honest, I very rarely look for an over. I

353
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 3: look for unders. And what we're talking about here is

354
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 3: player props, yards by the receivers, the quarterbacks, maybe even

355
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 3: Zack's under that type of stuff. But as far as

356
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 3: anything that's on offense, I'm usually looking to bet season

357
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 3: long unders because it's the built in advantage. If a

358
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 3: player goes down once or twice just for one or

359
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 3: two games, automatically, it's going to knock a percentage off

360
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 3: of his number for the year, and uh, let's leave.

361
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 2: Once.

362
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 3: The public loves betting over on things, it's not fun

363
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 3: to root for unders, to root for no scoring and

364
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 3: no yards, So I like to kind of betting against

365
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 3: the public. But I'll play this too. As far as

366
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 3: futures go, I kind of stay out of the futures pools.

367
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 3: To win the Super Bowl, I kind of stay out

368
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 3: of them because they're pretty juice and they're they're just

369
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 3: a lot. So I try to tend, you know, to

370
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 3: go to the more traditional you know, number player versus

371
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 3: player prop or something like that. Maybe I'll bet to

372
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 3: win a division or something if I find you understand though,

373
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 3: I have a lot of books of my disposal here

374
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 3: to look at and to find different nods. So it's

375
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 3: not you can't just go to one sportsbook and pick

376
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 3: their odds. You have to have some shopping ability, especially

377
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 3: if you're just coming to Vegas for a weekend or

378
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 3: wherever you're going to be. You want, you just want

379
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 3: to be able to, you know, have some choices.

380
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 2: Final question Eighteen. Of the last twenty years since they

381
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 2: went to the eight division format, there's been at least

382
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 2: one team that has gone from last to first. Last

383
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 2: year was the Jacksonville Jaguars. Even in twenty eighteen, two

384
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 2: teams did it, including the Mitch Trubisky Chicago Bears. Who

385
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 2: do you expect that might do it in twenty twenty three?

386
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 2: Have you given that some thought?

387
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I'll tell you listen. I hate to

388
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 3: say I have no favorite teams, my allegiances by bankroll so,

389
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 3: but America's team is every year picked to do grat

390
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 3: to do good. Now, not that they didn't do good,

391
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 3: but they really didn't. Then people are upset. They're upset

392
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 3: at the leadership there with Jones. They're upsett with a

393
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 3: lot of things over there. And again this year, not

394
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 3: that they were so bad and now they're going to

395
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 3: be so much better, but that would be the only

396
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 3: team I'm looking at that I can think of to

397
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 3: really improve possible. Tennessee Titan and Too. I think they're

398
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 3: the two teams that I think are you know, are

399
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 3: going to be on the upswing here this year, and

400
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 3: I would, I would, wouldn't doubt if Dallas goes pretty far.

401
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 3: It's not all the way, all right.

Speaker 2: go to our guy, Kevin Figures with the latest.

416
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 5: All right, Barnie, We'll start with Left Coast Major League Baseball.

417
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 5: Miami all over the Dodgers Friday night, eleven to three

418
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 5: the final score. Horey Silaier hit two home runs for

419
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 5: the Marlins that snaps an eleven game win streak for

420
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 5: Los Angeles. Showy Altani hit a grand slam for the Angels,

421
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 5: his major league leading forty third a long ball of

422
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 5: the season, but it was not enough, Tampa Bay coming

423
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 5: away with a nine to six victory in ten innings.

424
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 5: Gunner Henderson with his twentieth home run of the season

425
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 5: in a nine to four Baltimore win over Oakland Orioles,

426
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 5: maintaining their two game lead over Tampa in the Al East.

427
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 5: The Padres shoutout Arizona four nothing. Fernando Tatis Junior a

428
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 5: home run there one night after recording five hits, Julio

429
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 5: Roriguez had four hits, including a home run, in a

430
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 5: two nothings Seattle win in Houston. The Manader is now

431
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 5: a half game lead over Toronto for the final wildcard

432
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 5: spot in the American League. This after Toronto lost to

433
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 5: Cincinnati won nothing two preseason matchups in the NFL Friday night,

434
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 5: Daniel Jones eight of nine passing with a touchdown for

435
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 5: the Giants and they went over Carolina Falcons rookie running

436
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 5: back b John Robinson four carries for twenty yards and

437
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 5: what was a thirteen to thirteen tie with Cincinnati back

438
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 5: to Bernie Fredo.

439
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 2: All right, thanks, Kevin, appreciated buddy. So Jim Harbaugh had

440
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 2: a press conference Tuesday, and he didn't. He elected not

441
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 2: to talk about the situation whereby the COI Committee on

442
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 2: Infractions refused to to ratify as it were, or approve

443
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 2: the four game suspension. He wanted a six game suspension.

444
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 2: But a couple of my moles talked off off to

445
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 2: Harbaugh and he pissed. Okay, and I know that Michieve

446
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 2: sort of has this. They're little sanctimonious. It's a very

447
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 2: proud fund you know, academic institution. They've played college football

448
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 2: for a long time, and one of the one of

449
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 2: the axioms there is they believe one of the reasons

450
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 2: they don't win national championships because they played by the

451
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 2: rules right there. They're little sanctimonious about that. So Harball

452
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 2: was kind of obstinate about this whole cheeseburger thing that

453
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 2: allegedly took place back during COVID where allegedly bought up,

454
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 2: you know, a recruit lunch. But as I was joking

455
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 2: about it, you know, with Aaron and Jason a couple

456
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 2: of saturdays ago, the cover ups always worse than the cheeseburger.

457
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 2: So what the NCAA got ticked about was they believe

458
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 2: Harball lied. Harball denied. First went from denying he ever

459
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 2: did it to he didn't remember he did it. Then

460
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 2: he sort of refused to admit that he may have

461
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 2: fudged the truth a little bit, and he kind of

462
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 2: pushed back and sayce, what are you guys doing. You know,

463
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 2: f you you got bigger fish to fry. There are

464
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 2: so many things going on across the country with the

465
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 2: wild West end and other infractions and player issues and

466
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 2: legal issues and you're worried about this, and so what

467
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 2: has happened now is that they've kicked the can down

468
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 2: the road and Jim Harball will coach the entire season.

469
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 2: He will not serve his four game suspension. It will be,

470
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 2: you know, pushed until twenty twenty four. So I'm sure

471
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 2: Michigan fans breathe a hell of a salary lief for

472
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 2: that brutal non conference schedule. It's East Carolina and UNLVE

473
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:34,479
Speaker 2: and you get the picture. Okay, So here's where it

474
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 2: gets interesting. And yes, this is speculative because it seemingly

475
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 2: happens every year, but this year I think it could

476
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 2: it could take on a different dimension. Where am I

477
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 2: going with this? I believe strongly that the rumors will

478
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 2: repercolate after the season, especially if Michigan has a good season.

479
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 2: Let's say they win the Big Ten, Beatlehouse State, get

480
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 2: to the playoffs, maybe they win a playoff game. I

481
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 2: don't think they're gonna win the National Championship. I know

482
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 2: a lot of people are predicting it will they want

483
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 2: them to, but that doesn't you know. Look, I think

484
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 2: if you put Michigan in the SEC and they had

485
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 2: to play LSU, Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia. A week after

486
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 2: week after week, they'd lose two or three games. I'm

487
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 2: sorry they would. But Michigan is going to be very good.

488
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 2: They have basically two games on their schedule that you

489
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 2: got to watch. It's you know, home against Ohio State,

490
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 2: where they'll be a short favorite, and at Penn State

491
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 2: where they'll be a short favorite. But if they were

492
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 2: on the table, they get to the Big Ten championship game,

493
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 2: they get back to the playoff, that'd be third year

494
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 2: in a row. It'd be a pretty good year anyway.

495
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 2: It's licensed. Well, Harball turns fifty nine. Sean Payton turned

496
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 2: fifty nine. I think Harball's people have looked at what

497
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,719
Speaker 2: Sean Payton got. There's no question Harball would have more

498
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 2: than one offer to go back to the NFL, and

499
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 2: I think this time he may take a look at it. Okay,

500
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 2: once that infractions case was rejected by the NCAA committee

501
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 2: and fracted's the COI I think that is not sitting. Well,

502
00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 2: So what happens now? Okay, Harball, he's cleared. You know,

503
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 2: East Carolina Bowling, Green UNV Wreckers all set, no worries

504
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 2: he'll coach those games. But there is this tension now,

505
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 2: there is this cloud hanging over Harbaugh and the NCAA

506
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 2: regarding these infractions, and the Committee on Infractions has discretion.

507
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 2: They can lessen sanctions or they can enhance sanctions. Now

508
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 2: it's possible Harbaugh could receive something less than a four

509
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 2: game suspension in twenty twenty four, but he could also

510
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 2: be hit harder. He could be hit potentially much harder.

511
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 2: And one of the things I brought up, it was

512
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 2: concerning to me. I wanted to at least know that

513
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 2: or the reason why Mike McDonald, the very talented defensive

514
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 2: coordinator that was on Jim Harbaugh staff two years ago,

515
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 2: was now with the Baltimore Ravens. He was given a

516
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 2: show cost penalty. And if you don't think about a

517
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 2: show cost penalty, it's serious. Makes it very difficult to

518
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 2: get a job in college football again right away. Not impossible,

519
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 2: it makes a lot more difficult. Why was he even

520
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 2: a show cost penalty? Well, it turned out he stiffed

521
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 2: armed the NCAA, didn't return any of their calls, didn't

522
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 2: cooperate whatsoever, just went his own his own direction. So

523
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: when they're at to history books. This is going to

524
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 2: be a case where the cover up exceeds the crime.

525
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 2: All right, Harbaugh had been accused of impromistical conduct with

526
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 2: recruits during the COVID nineteen dead period and then more importantly,

527
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 2: more problematically, allegedly lying to investigators right now, the NCAA

528
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 2: in the past, when they decided they want to bring

529
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 2: the hammer down it ainate fun. They've lovied some harsh

530
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 2: penalties for those who lied during an investigation. You can

531
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 2: go back to two thousand and nine. You may or

532
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 2: may not remember when Des Bryant was at Oklahoma State,

533
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 2: missed the final nine games of the season, and he

534
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 2: just decided to go pro because apparently he was not truthful.

535
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 2: Twenty ten, Bruce Pearl, who's currently coaching men's basketball at Tennessee,

536
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 2: allegedly lied about hosting an inpromition we'll click out, among

537
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 2: other violations. Then he got fired. He was hit with

538
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 2: a three year show cause penalty that kept him out

539
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 2: of college basketball for three years. Didn't get back intil

540
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen, I believe. So there's precedent for a steeper penalty,

541
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 2: and you could miss more than one third of the

542
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 2: regular season. The president. The precedent for this is not

543
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 2: an automatic predictor of what will happen. We have to

544
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 2: see what direction this goes as it landers on for

545
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 2: five more months. But again, there's a real undercurrent of

546
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 2: tension now between the NCAA, Michigan Football and specifically Jim Harbaugh,

547
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 2: and it's very much bubbling to the surface because both

548
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 2: sides were arguing back and forth for months on how

549
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 2: to resolve the case without a full hearing, and they

550
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 2: drafted a notice of allegations from enforcement. They sent it

551
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 2: to Michigan January fifth of this year, and the decisions

552
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:58,959
Speaker 2: on a resolution method they could never agree on it. So,

553
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 2: you know, you know, certainly al the Michigan sympathizers spun

554
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 2: they put the spin on it, well, this is about

555
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 2: a cheeseburger that Harpball allegedly paid for. But that wasn't

556
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 2: that wasn't really it. It was driven by the fact that

557
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 2: they believe Jim Harball was untruthful and that opened the

558
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 2: door for other things, text messages, zoom calls, impermissible, impermissible recruiting, things,

559
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 2: and things started to add up. And so when you

560
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 2: read the tea leaves, it was thought that by the

561
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 2: time this got to the COI for their approval, that

562
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 2: this could fall flat. And there's other complications from an

563
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 2: NCAA standpoint, Because there's a chance, I'm not predicting it.

564
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 2: There's a chance that next January Harball takes a job

565
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 2: in the NFL. Again, don't listen selectively out there. People

566
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 2: are terrible at this. Someone's going to go on a

567
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 2: chatboard and say, Bernie Fradle just said Harball's going to

568
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 2: the No. I didn't. But you can't rule it out,

569
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 2: all right, So what happens to Michigan If Harball is

570
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 2: on his way to the NFL next January February and

571
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 2: there are penalties that have to come down, he knows

572
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 2: an NCAA hit could be waiting for him. He could

573
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 2: be more motivated to have a strong season, finish, go

574
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 2: and be done. There's precedent for, you know, being saved

575
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 2: by the bell. Mister Belding, Pete Carroll did it at

576
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 2: USC Don't tell me he didn't. He jumped to Seattle

577
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 2: Seahawks before the Trojans were slammed by the NCAA. Didn't

578
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 2: Ship Kelly do the same leaving Oregon in twenty thirteen

579
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 2: for the Philadelphia Eagles before he was given an eighteen

580
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 2: month show caused penalty. Now Kelly has since returned to college.

581
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 2: He's the head coach of ECLA. It's been there five years,

582
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 2: but there's precedent for this. And last month at Big

583
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 2: Ten media days, Harball clearly, you know, guffawed as it were,

584
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 2: at the gag order he's been put under as the

585
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 2: Michigan case has progressed. He's said it a couple of times.

586
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 2: I'd love to lay it all out there, nothing to

587
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 2: be ashamed of, but now is not the time. That's

588
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 2: tall there is I'm gonna say about that. So I

589
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 2: get it. He's doing the right thing there. Now, the

590
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 2: Committee on Infractions, one last thing again, they rejected the

591
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 2: negotiated resolution, and so that not only delays this getting resolved,

592
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 2: but it delays Harball's ability to speak on it. The

593
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 2: only upshot is he gets to coach those four games.

594
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 2: But there's going to be a reckoning of some sort

595
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 2: down the road, and it could be worse than sitting

596
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 2: out those games against Bowling Green and UNLV and less

597
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 2: of course, Harrorball decides I'm getting the hell out of

598
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 2: Dodger ann Arbor and I'm going back to the NFL. No,

599
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 2: you cannot rule it out. Stay tuned. There will be more,

600
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 2: and I guarantee you this cloud will be hanging over

601
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 2: Michigan football the entire year. Do I think it will

602
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 2: affect him on the field.

603
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 6: No.

604
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 2: I think Michigan's is gonna be a very good team

605
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 2: this year, and they should run rough shot through the

606
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 2: Big Ten. We'll see if they beat Ohio State and

607
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 2: Penn State. But regardless, those seem to be they're only

608
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 2: potential speed bumps. So stay tuned because, yeah, it will

609
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 2: be part of the narrative, but I don't think it'll

610
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 2: be such a distraction that it'll prevent Michigan from getting

611
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 2: a job done, whatever that may be. Tonight. She'll brought

612
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,000

00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 2: season for Major League Baseball. We are in the final

625
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 2: stretch run of the Pennant Races. I've got one team

626
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 2: i want to talk about because they're teasing you again.

627
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 2: And we'll take a look at the AL wild Card,

628
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 2: the NL Wildcard, and by the way, it's far from decided.

629
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,720
Speaker 2: There are plenty of teams. There are plenty of teams alive,

630
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 2: and I'll break it down for you. Eight seven seven

631
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 2: nine nine six six three six nine eleven forty five.

632

Speaker 2: You can start dialing in two forty five Eastern. Start

633
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,400

00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 2: at midnight. I'm Bernie Friderwick Company line from the Las

636
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,040

637
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 2: All right back on the Bernie Friddle Show, Fox Sports

638
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 2: Radio come to live from the tire Raq dot Com

639
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 2: studios here in a Las Vegas. We are ten minutes

640
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 2: away from the resumption of Bernie's trivia game. It rages on.

641
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 2: Phone lines are full, but why not eight seven seven

642
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 2: nine nine six six three six ' nine. We may

643
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 2: squeeze one more in. Someone might drop off. You never know.

644
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 2: Don't get shut out. It's a lot of fun. Bring

645
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 2: your trivia brain, bring your sports betting brain. We'll have

646
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 2: a lot of fun. It's been great. Callers have been fantastic.

647
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 2: We are in a round two. Actually we're in week six,

648
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 2: I think of round two. It's a twelve week contest,

649
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,399
Speaker 2: all right. The Pennant races that are now in their

650
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 2: final stretch run, they're about thirty nine games. We're about

651
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 2: a week and a half from Labor Day, and so

652
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 2: it's now time to get down to the short strokes.

653
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 2: One of the teams that's teasing you again are the

654
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 2: Seattle Mariners. Now I've got a lot of listeners in Seattle.

655
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 2: They're a fun team to watch. You've been here before.

656
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 2: The Seattle Mariners always have been one of baseball's more

657
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 2: likable teams. They have a habit of making a run

658
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 2: late in the season after being left for dead the

659
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 2: last three years. Everyone's hot pick to make a postseason noise,

660
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 2: then they fade, Then all of a sudden they get

661
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 2: hot and start winning, which they've done recently. Matter of fact,

662
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 2: right in the season of today, Seattle would be the

663
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 2: final wild card team in the American League. They're currently

664
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 2: half a game ahead of the Toronto Blue Jays, who

665
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 2: are also dangerous. But then again, the Blue Jays have

666
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 2: played one more game, so they have one more loss

667
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 2: in the lost column. They have fifty six losses versus

668
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 2: the Mariner's fifty five. So this is wide open, wide open.

669
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 2: And I know the Angels, you know, have one foot

670
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 2: in the grave and the other on a banana peal.

671
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 2: But listen, I've seen it a thousand times. Something crazy

672
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 2: can happen in September. If you get to Labor Day

673
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 2: and you're five hundred under this man's Major League Baseball,

674
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 2: you're not dead. The Angels just can't get out of

675
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 2: their own way, though. But and I'm of the belief

676
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 2: you will see Otani back in an Angel's uniform next year.

677
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 2: It's not one hundred percent, but I think it's I

678
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 2: think it's more than people realize. He doesn't want to

679
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 2: move to the East Coast. There are three teams in

680
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 2: California they'll make a bid, the Angels, Dodgers, and I

681
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 2: think Giants. But here we are quick status on our

682
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball playoff races as we have now crossed

683
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty games. Ale West Completely, Wild, Rangers, Astros, Mariners,

684
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 2: all seven and three in their last ten. The Rangers

685
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 2: and Astros will capture two playoffs for sure. They're within

686
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 2: two and a half games with each other for the

687
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 2: division title. The Mariners are six game back in the division,

688
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 2: but they're a half game up in the wildcard. So

689
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 2: it's nervous time. Okay, you'd rather win the division than not.

690
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 2: You don't want to have to be in the wildcard,

691
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 2: but you rather be in the wild card than on

692
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 2: the outside looking in. Now, the National League wild card

693
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:46,720
Speaker 2: is an absolute minefield. You've literally got six teams, the Phillies,

694
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 2: the Giants, the Cubs, the Marlins, the Reds, and yes,

695
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 2: even the Diamondbacks. They're all clustered. They're in competition for

696
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 2: three spots. It's gonna be musical chairs. Somebody gets what

697
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 2: will happen. I guarantee you is somebody is gonna get

698
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 2: hot and win seven games on a road in September

699
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 2: and decide it. But one bad week could send a

700
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 2: team into the desert. The Brewers Kristin Yelich has stepped

701
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 2: up just two games up in the ANL Central, but

702
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 2: they're not separated themselves from the wild card. For the Dodgers,

703
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,479
Speaker 2: they've hit the gas, had their eleven game winning steak

704
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 2: broken tonight, but their perennial contenders. They may have struggled earlier,

705
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 2: but they're seventy four and forty seven. They're gonna run

706
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 2: away win the NL West and they're the second title

707
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 2: favorite behind the Juggernaut Braves. Okay, so you may be

708
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 2: twelve games out for the Angels and it just seems

709
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 2: to get worse, But you're not dead yet. Oh by

710
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 2: the way, who is dead? The Yankees. I think you

711
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 2: can make funeral plans for the Yankees right now. They're

712
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 2: not going to the playoffs. Coming up Bernie's backyard bunking Bets.

Speaker 2: And this Yankees offense, My goodness, what's going on there? Kurt?

765
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 2: I mean, they couldn't scored a women's prison with a

766
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:44,240
Speaker 2: fifth full of fifties.

767
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 6: All right, Timmy, appreciate you for calling in.

768
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 2: Thanks, Buddy Man, good welcome.

769
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, Next we have Kurt from California.

770
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 3: Kurty there, Yes, Hi, Kurt hey Burn. I was sleeping.

771
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 3: I was sitting on a couch. A guy was on

772
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 3: the phone pouting the Seattle Mariners, and I yelled sold.

773
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 3: The next thing I knew, I heard your voice on

774
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 3: the radio and woke up.

775
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the Mariners are getting it done.

776
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 8: I do.

777
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 2: They got a hold on. But they're in the driver's

778
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 2: seat right now. Yep, All right, here we go.

779
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 8: Which NBA franchise was the first to get seventy plus

780
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 8: wins in the regular season. If you give me the year,

781
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 8: I'll give you an extra hundred points.

782
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 3: I would say the Bulls and nine eighty nine.

783
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 2: All right, one was half right, it was, of course

784
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 2: it was of course the ninety six Bulls. They got

785
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 2: seventy two wins, and I you know, until the Warriors

786
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 2: did it, those are the only two they built. They

787
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 2: Wilt Chamberlain's Philadelphia seventy six ers were sixty eight and

788
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 2: thirteen back in the sixties. So the Bulls beat that.

789
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,240
Speaker 2: But anyway, I digress.

790
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 6: Go ahead, great job, Krel, will give you one hundred

791
00:42:59,239 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 6: for that.

792
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,760
Speaker 8: In the MLB, the Giants are playing the Braves tomorrow

793
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 8: for four to ten Pacific seven ten Eastern start. The

794
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 8: Braves are currently minus one and a half. Will you

795
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 8: be going with the Braves or the Giants plus one

796
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 8: and a half. It's logan web for the Giants and

797
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 8: chirinos for the Braves.

798
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 2: The Braves. Okay, so the Braves have to win the

799
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 2: game and have to win by at least two runs, yep,

800
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 2: to cover that bet. I like the Giants in this spot.

801
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 2: I'm not going to elaborate why so I'll take the

802
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 2: run and a half of good luck and enjoy your Saturday. Kurt.

00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 8: Houston tomorrow.

816
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 6: The over under for the game is currently at eight.

817
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 6: Will be taking the over under.

818
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 8: It's currently it's Gilbert versus Valdez on the mound tomorrow.

819
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 2: Bramber, we gotta go with the under, Bramber.

820
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just going with the under. I like the under.

821
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 3: I like those pictures.

822
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got a little two good pictures. Now, I'm

823
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 2: I have observed professional money flying in on the over

824
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 2: for some reason, so I'll take a flyer on the over.

825
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 2: But one of us will be happy. Good luck there, Mason,

826
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,880

830
00:44:58,640 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 3: go by.

831
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 2: Sure, all right, here we go.

832
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 8: Who made the longest field goal in NFL history. If

833
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 8: you give me the yards you'll give me, you'll get

834
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 8: an extra two hundred points.

835
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 3: Let's go with Jason Elam sixty three yards.

836
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny. I brain farted for a minute

837
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 2: there eating because I always think about Tom Dansey. But

838
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 2: of course, who can forget it was just a couple

839
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:34,280
Speaker 2: of years ago. Justin Tucker had a sixty six yarder.

840
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 2: Crazy yep. And Matt Prater I believe even had a

841
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 2: sixty four yarder, but that's about ten years ago. And

842
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 2: Justin Tucker kicked a sixty two yarder in preseason other night.

843
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 2: Looks like looked like it would have been good for seventy.

844
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,800
Speaker 8: Correct me if by wrong. Jake Elliott had a sixty

845
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 8: two yarder in the seventeen season.

846
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:51,839
Speaker 6: Was it sixty two yards?

847
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 2: You're probably right? You're probably right?

848
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 8: Okay, All right, here we go in the FIFA Women's

849
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 8: World Cup. You have Spain versus England. Gonna be very exciting.

850
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 6: Three a m.

851
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 8: Pacific, six am Eastern Sunday morning. Right when you get up,

852
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 8: who will you be taking? Spain or England? We're going

853
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 8: money line obviously, or you may or may not know.

854
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 8: England is favored Spain plus one seventy five.

855
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 3: Let's go with.

856
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 2: England, all right, Yeah, I think England's a freaking machine.

857
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 2: I think they'll win two to one or two to nothing.

858
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 2: They're very good. They deserve to be here, and even

859
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 2: before the tournament started, they were the one team that

860
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 2: I thought would give the US problems. Sold here here

861
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 2: they are. All they got to do is close a deal.

862
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:40,439
Speaker 2: I believe they will.

863
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 8: All right, awesome, Thanks Brandon, Thanks Brandon, all right, next week,

864
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 8: got Don from Washington.

865
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 2: Hey Don, all right, buddy on here we go.

866
00:46:55,440 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 8: Who is the only NFL franchise to go owen sixteen

867
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 8: in a single season.

868
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 6: You give me the year. I'll give you an extra

869
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 6: one hundred points.

870
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 5: Detroy Lion, Gosh, it's like three or four years ago,

871
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 5: so I don't know.

872
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,879
Speaker 3: Two thousand and ninety eighteen.

873
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:17,839
Speaker 6: You got half right.

874
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 2: Well, of course that's a layup for me because I

875
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 2: covered that team. It was the last year as part

876
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 2: of the pre and post with Dennis Fifthy, and it

877
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 2: was two thousand and eight, of course, And I'll never

878
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 2: forget we had a feeling it would happen. Week four,

879
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:32,800
Speaker 2: Dan Or Lawski runs out of the end zone for

880
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 2: a safety. They lost to Minnesota that day, twelve to

881
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 2: ten twelve. Today, I was talking about I gut Kurt

882
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 2: Kreutzmar about how fun it was to cover that team,

883
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 2: how interesting it was observing guys like Jim Rome openly

884
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,800
Speaker 2: rooting for the Lions to go Owen sixteen. So anyway,

885
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 2: we can tell stories about that year all night long ago.

886
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:53,479
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, no doubt.

887
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 8: All right, onto your best bet, the Women's World Cup

888
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,800
Speaker 8: of It will keep it that because it's very exciting.

889
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 8: Spain versus England over under. Shocking to me is one

890
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 8: and a half? Are you gonna take the over under?

891
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 6: One and a half? So two goals you'll need for

892
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 6: the over, I'll.

893
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 3: Take you over, and I think England's gonna win a

894
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,399
Speaker 3: readers zip for three to one.

895
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,399
Speaker 2: Cool, very close. I'm gonna go with the over as well,

896
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 2: because I think England can get two goals.

897
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 8: I do.

898
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 2: They're just that good they they If you look at

899
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 2: their scoring through the tournament, they've been Offense has not

900
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,399
Speaker 2: been their issue, no doubt.

901
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 6: All right, awesome, thank you on, thank you guys, yep,

902
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:40,280
Speaker 6: thank you all right. Last week got Dave from Phoenix.

903
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:45,359
Speaker 4: Dave, Hey, Dave Well, Hello, hello gentlemen. Hey Bernie, I'm

904
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,840
Speaker 4: going to also join in on the Mariners. You realize

905
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 4: when they get downe with Houston this weekend. Their next

906
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 4: fourth series are the White Sox, the Royals, Athletics, and

907
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 4: the Mess.

908
00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 2: That bodes well, although sometimes those teams play loose. But

909
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 2: I listen, if if the Mariners take two out of

910
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 2: three and see in Houston this weekend, they're absolutely for

911
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 2: real because Houston's trying to catch Texas. So yeah, it'll

912
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 2: be a great series to watch. The Mariners have done

913
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 2: a really nice job this year.

914
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 6: All right, here, very good.

Speaker 8: currently in the MLB. Can you tell me the two players?

918
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:32,080

919
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:33,840

921
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 6: There you go, there you go, he's paying attention.

922
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 2: Well, Tony hit a grand Salami tonight to get his

923
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 2: forty third.

924
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 6: Exciting stuff.

925
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 4: Kind of turned the trumple play, but they still lost

926
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 4: the game.

927
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, this Angels team, they had a five run lead.

928
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, it's they're cursed.

929
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 6: It's a shame, all right. The US we're gonna stay.

930
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 8: We're gonna we're gonna stay with the Women's World Cup,

931
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 8: the Women's World Cup. Will we'll be on to Sunday morning. Sorry,

932
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 8: Spain England. Will it be going to penalty kicks or not?

933
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 6: Just a yes or no? Pretty simple.

934
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm gonna say no. No penalty kicks.

935
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say I'm gonna say no as well. A

936
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 2: lot of times these games do. But New England's not

937
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 2: gonna lay back. They're gonna put up a goal right away,

938
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 2: I believe. So I don't believe it's going to penalty

939
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:31,359
Speaker 2: kicks either.

940
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:35,799

Speaker 2: tire buying should be. Did you happen to hear what

973
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 2: James Harden said on Monday while he was in Beijing says,

974
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 2: quote Darrylmoury is a liar and I will never be

975
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 2: part of an organization that he's a part of. Wow,

976
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 2: let me say that again, quote Daryl Moury is a

977
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:50,840
Speaker 2: liar and I will never be a part of an

978
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 2: organization that he's a part of in the NBA. Thanks

979
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 2: for the emphasis, They're James. Would appear to me that

980
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:00,879
Speaker 2: the love has gone out of the relationship between Hard

981
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 2: and Mory. Does it reached the point in over return?

982
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 2: Is it true? Harden has no intention of ever suiting

983
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 2: that for the Sixers again, at least while Moore is

984
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 2: at the Helm. Now you recall, Harden exercised his player

985
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 2: option last June thirty five million and change with the

986
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 2: expectation the team would work with him to find a

987
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 2: suitable dance partner they trade him. He wanted to go

988
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:26,959
Speaker 2: to Clippers, and I know when James Harden wants out, Jeez,

989
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:30,240
Speaker 2: he wants out. I mean he's liably eating tired Dunkin

990
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 2: Donuts for the rest of the year and show up,

991
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 2: you know, looking like, you know, eight pounds a crap

992
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 2: in a four pound bag. He's done it before. So

993
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 2: basically Darryl Mory said, Hey, if we don't get a

994
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 2: good player something we can turn into a good player,

995
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 2: we're not going to do it. And then a couple

996
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 2: days later, Adrian Rojnowski and Sam amc both reported that

997
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 2: Harden still desires a trade and he intends to skip

998
00:53:56,239 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 2: training camp of fee seventy six ers don't complain. So

999
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 2: he's upset with Maury for not offering Apparently he's what's

1000
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 2: driving this. He's upset that Maury did not offer him

1001
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:11,280
Speaker 2: a max level contract. Now, those guys have a eleven

1002
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 2: to twelve year relationship that goes way back twenty twelve,

1003
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 2: when Moury acquired Harden in a trade of the Rockets

1004
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:20,760
Speaker 2: when Daryl Morey at the time was Houston's general manager,

1005
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 2: and those two move kinds stayed together until twenty twenty one,

1006
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 2: when spoiler alert, Harden forced his way out of Houston

1007
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 2: and they traded to the Nets, but he reunited with

1008
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 2: Daryl Morey in twenty twenty two when the Sixers traded

1009
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 2: for him. So Harden's not getting a younger. He's thirty three,

1010
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:43,720
Speaker 2: he avers twenty one points, tennis's six rebounds, played fifty

1011
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 2: eight games. I don't know if that's max level, you know,

1012
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:51,800
Speaker 2: money to me, I don't feel like it is. But nonetheless,

1013
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 2: Harden made himself clear. I think there's more of the story.

1014
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:57,359
Speaker 2: All right, This doesn't seem though like your typical their

1015
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:02,359
Speaker 2: typical trade request. Okay, believe it or not. I mean,

1016
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 2: the future always has a way of arriving ahead of schedule.

1017
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,800
Speaker 2: Training camps are going to open in seven weeks, and

1018
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 2: we'll talk about this more with Mark Medina Saturday Night

1019
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 2: midnight we do Medina Magic because we teased it last week.

1020
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 2: But this is before you know, James Harden called his

1021
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:21,800
Speaker 2: boss a liar. So having fun in China, right, So

1022
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 2: what's the reason why does Harden really want out of Philadelphia?

1023
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 2: Is it just a strained relationship between Hard and Maury

1024
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:37,439
Speaker 2: And you know, prior to recently, there was never any

1025
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 2: indication that Harden really wanted to play elsewhere, and if

1026
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 2: he did, it was only motivated by just wanted to

1027
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:47,880
Speaker 2: play basketball. But now this sounds like it's very personal.

1028
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 2: That's why I think there's more of the story, because

1029
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 2: it's a little weird that an NBA player would come

1030
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 2: out this publicly and call his boss a liar in

1031
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:00,880
Speaker 2: public and repeat it, you know, on a god and everybody.

1032
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 2: And again, you know Harden's history, He's got a way

1033
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 2: of forcing his way off teams, but I've never seen

1034
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 2: him take aim at a guy running the team. I

1035
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 2: remember back in nineteen seventy seven, seventy eight, Billy Martin

1036
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:19,279
Speaker 2: called George Steinbrenner a liar and a convicted and it's

1037
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 2: a long story, but it's out there. Okay, So is

1038
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 2: this intentional? Is this contrived by the way that costs

1039
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 2: Billy Martin's job? Harden, why would he escalate that in

1040
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 2: this way? Because when you use harsh words like that,

1041
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,280
Speaker 2: you're really setting off alarm bells for everybody?

1042
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:39,719
Speaker 6: Is it?

1043
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 2: Because Harden was promised by More he would trade him,

1044
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:46,319
Speaker 2: and then he didn't, or he promised to trade him,

1045
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:48,359
Speaker 2: but he decided he really wasn't going to try all

1046
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 2: that hard. I guess that would fall under the subterfuge

1047
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:59,320
Speaker 2: canard category. But still, you know, there could be some posting.

1048
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 2: Remember last year this time, Kevin Durant wanted out, but

1049
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:06,359
Speaker 2: he was on the roster of the Nets for first

1050
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 2: couple three months of the season before he ended up

1051
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:13,839
Speaker 2: getting traded. Same situation with Kyrie Irving. Maybe that happens here.

1052
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:19,720
Speaker 2: But maybe also, as it's been speculated, Morey promised Harden

1053
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 2: that he would offer him a lucrative contract extension and

1054
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 2: then fail to offer it. Now, if that's the case, technically,

1055
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 2: it's my understanding Morey could have violated Article thirteen, Section

1056
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 2: two of the league's Collective Bargaining Agreement, which is titled

1057
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 2: quote no unauthorized agreements quote. I'll read it. It forbids

1058
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 2: any agreements or transactions of any kind, expressed or implied,

1059
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 2: oral or written, concerning any future renegotiation, extension, or other

1060
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 2: amendment of an existing player contract, or entry into a

1061
00:57:56,760 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 2: new player contract. It also prohibits assurances of a tent,

1062
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 2: So you can't you can't talk that way. Apparently it's

1063
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 2: part of the CBA if you're Morey. And again, I

1064
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 2: don't know if any of this happened I'm just grabbing

1065
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 2: in straws because when a high profile player does this

1066
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 2: again and again, and we are on the age of

1067
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 2: player empowerment, making no mistake, but this is, I mean,

1068
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 2: this just takes it to a whole new level. Right,

1069
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 2: come on, So I think there's at least reason to

1070
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 2: believe if we maintain our objectivity here, because I'm not

1071
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 2: a hardened fan, but let's keep it down the middle.

1072
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 2: Harden may have been referring to what he thought was

1073
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 2: a promise for Maury about a future contract extension. Harden

1074
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 2: did have a forty seven million dollar player option for

1075
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty three season, and he declined it, and

1076
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 2: in doing so, he signed a thirty three million dollar

1077
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 2: contract for the season with a thirty five million dollar

1078
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 2: contract for this upcoming season, so he left twelve million

1079
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 2: on the table. Now, if Harden declined his player option

1080
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 2: based on assurances from Maury that he'd be offered a

1081
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 2: larger contract than the one ultimately signed, then I guess

1082
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 2: you'd have every right to be angry. Now I don't.

1083
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 2: I don't condone what he did, and in theory, in theory,

1084
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 2: we're gonna ask Mark Mendinho about this tomorrow night. In theory,

1085
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 2: more it could be in trouble with the NBA for

1086
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 2: this kind of this kind of behavior, So it's impossible

1087
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 2: to know what Morey tool hardened regarding his future. But

1088
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:25,440
Speaker 2: the NBA needs to get to the bottom of why

1089
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 2: Harden felt so comfortable calling Maury a liar in public

1090
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:32,480
Speaker 2: twice in an international stage, and that it might not

1091
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 2: be enough to get hard the trade he's looking for.

1092
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 2: But I do think it's going to very much, uh

1093
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 2: raise the eyebrows of the U of the NBA and

1094
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 2: cause him to look into this and and engage in

1095
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 2: some sort of investigation. That's that's the way I That's

1096
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 2: the way I see it. So you start calling people layers,

1097
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 2: but if you have receipts, then things can change. Tonight

1098

Speaker 2: Discover dot com slash match. Well, the NFL preseason is

1103
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 2: raging along, and there are kind of some winners and

1104
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 2: losers and some overreactions. We'll get to those coming up.

1105
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 2: But first let's go back to our guy, Kevin Figures

1106
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 2: with the latest. All right, Bernie Well.

1107
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 5: Last night Friday Night, Horris Hilaire of the Miami Marlins

1108
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:31,960
Speaker 5: was the truth. Two home runs five total for the

1109
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 5: Marlins in an eleven to three victory over the Dodgers

1110
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:38,920
Speaker 5: in Los Angeles that snaps the Dodgers eleven game winning streak.

1111
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 5: You had Tampa Bay outlasting the Angels and extra innings

1112
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 5: in Anaheim nine to six. That despite a grand slam

1113
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 5: by Shoheo Tani Fernando Tatis Junior a home run for

1114
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 5: San Diego. They shut out Arizona four to nothing, Seattle

1115
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 5: over Houston to nothing, while Cincinnati defeated Toronto one zip.

1116
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 5: So the Marlins are the Mariners, I should say, have

1117
01:00:57,800 --> 01:00:59,680
Speaker 5: a one game lead, a half game lead that is

1118
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 5: over the Blue Jays for the final AO wildcard spot.

1119
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 5: Boston all over the Yankees eight to three. That six

1120
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 5: consecutive losses for New York. They're now a couple of

1121
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 5: games under five hundred. Spencer Strider picked up his major

1122
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:14,040
Speaker 5: league leading fourteenth victory in a four to nothing Atlanta

1123
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 5: victory over San Francisco in NFL News. The Ravens signed

1124
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,920
Speaker 5: defensive ennge of Deaveon Clowney to a one year contract.

1125
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 5: Washington named Sam Howell as their starting quarterback, and in

1126
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 5: preseason action Friday night, Bryce Young three of six passing

1127
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 5: for thirty five yards in a twenty one to nineteen

1128
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 5: Panthers lost to the Giants. The Bengals and Falcons played

1129
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:34,440
Speaker 5: to a thirteen to thirteen tie back to Bernie Fredo.

1130
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 2: Thanks Kevin, So there is one. Obviously, you know, preseason

1131
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:44,480
Speaker 2: games don't count. People still overreact. I've said it a

1132
01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 2: thousand times. I covered the greatest four to oh team

1133
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 2: in NFL history, the two thousand and eight Detroit Lions.

1134
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 2: They were owing sixteen in the regular season, but they

1135
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 2: were four to zero in the preseason, scored eighty points,

1136
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 2: keve up thirty two. Everybody was dancing in the aisles

1137
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 2: and then reality set in. So you can't take anything

1138
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:03,840
Speaker 2: away from preseason. You can if you want to. You know,

1139
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 2: you might as well give Aidan O'Connell his own statue

1140
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 2: out in front of Allegian Stadium here, right next to

1141
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:11,880
Speaker 2: Jim Plunkett and Kenny Stabler. Sure, why not? But you

1142
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:14,320
Speaker 2: see where I'm going with this for NFL fans, there's

1143
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 2: only one. You have one job. Don't overreact, but you

1144
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 2: do it anyway. But if you are prone to making

1145
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:25,320
Speaker 2: sweepy conclusions about any player who looks good in the preseason,

1146
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:29,560
Speaker 2: well you might find yourself embarrassed later in the year. Now,

1147
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:36,560
Speaker 2: having said that, I will say this, Justin Fields last

1148
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 2: week and he's not gonna play Saturday, and I like,

1149
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 2: I really I love Justin Fields the person. I think

1150
01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 2: he's a stellar individual of high character. I have no

1151
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:50,000
Speaker 2: idea if he's going to play quarterback in the National

1152
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 2: Football League with what the position demands. And I'm not

1153
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:55,440
Speaker 2: talking about being a track star. He attempted three passes

1154
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:58,520
Speaker 2: last Saturday for a negative seven yards completion, but it

1155
01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 2: turned into one hundred and twenty nine some two touchdowns

1156
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:03,480
Speaker 2: and a quarterback rating of one hundred and fifty million.

1157
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 2: I mean give it up to DJ Moore, his new

1158
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 2: best friend. He took it sixty two yards of the house.

1159
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 2: Khalil Herbert next series took a past three yards behind

1160
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:18,919
Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage fifty six yards and for the score.

1161
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 2: As he used to say, I'm unning night football now,

1162
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 2: I would like to see some five step drops and

1163
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:28,480
Speaker 2: seven step drops, making your progressions. Get the ball out

1164
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 2: of your hand. We're gonna see the bullets. Real bullets

1165
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 2: are gonna start flying here in three weeks. But at

1166
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:37,280
Speaker 2: least it's a confidence builder for Fields, and the Bears

1167
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 2: have said that they see enough in preseason scrimmages whereby

1168
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:46,480
Speaker 2: he's getting quality work, so they're not going to play

1169
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 2: him satur That's fine. So remember there were fifty Fields

1170
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 2: took fifty five sacks later last year. I don't know.

1171
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 2: The Bears offensive lines not great, but he doesn't get

1172
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 2: the ball out of his hand either. You know, Tom

1173
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:01,320
Speaker 2: Brady always had two he was had at least two

1174
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 2: guys make the two offensive linemen make all pro because

1175
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:06,959
Speaker 2: he got the damn ball out of his hand. But listen,

1176
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 2: I'm rooting for Justin Fields. I just I got you know,

1177
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 2: don't tell me, show me. Speeches are fine, show me,

1178
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 2: but you want to over react? Why not? I think

1179
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:16,760
Speaker 2: it's a feel good story because Fields is a good guy.

1180
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 2: How about Baker Mayfield. Now he's got the unenviable task

1181
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:27,280
Speaker 2: of succeeding Tom Brady. But Todd Bowles and their new

1182
01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:31,560
Speaker 2: OC the guy by the name Dave Connally's. Their whole

1183
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 2: thing is ball control, field position, avoid turnovers. And Mayfield's

1184
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 2: I guess throwing a lot of interceptions in training camp,

1185
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 2: but he still to watch his twenty eighteen. But the

1186
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 2: guy still came into the league, joined a team that

1187
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 2: was one in thirty one in two years, and they

1188
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 2: got into the playoffs and won a playoff game, and

1189
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:55,040
Speaker 2: almost won a second playoff game, and they had Kansas

1190
01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 2: City on the ropes in the fourth quarter on defense,

1191
01:04:56,880 --> 01:05:01,600
Speaker 2: couldn't hold it, But I digress. Last Friday against Pittsburgh,

1192
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 2: Mayfield got on track. He looked pretty good. He was

1193
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:08,000
Speaker 2: eight to nine for sixty three yarns on a touchdown.

1194
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:13,200
Speaker 2: I know, by the way, Kyle Trask looked good. And

1195
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 2: uh so there's a little bit of a quarterback competition,

1196
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 2: and Trask is gonna start this week and against the

1197
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 2: New York Jets. But if my moles tell me they're

1198
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:24,800
Speaker 2: gonna they're gonna go with Mayfield. But we'll see. Okay,

1199
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:27,960
Speaker 2: the New York Jets pass rush, you know, people might

1200
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,880
Speaker 2: have worries about their offensive line, but their pass rush

1201
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:35,120
Speaker 2: is legit. All right. Now we're gonna we're gonna talk

1202
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 2: about hard knocks at the top of the hour, and

1203
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 2: then we get to one fifteen twenty, we'll bring in

1204
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 2: Kevin and Ethan get their thoughts. I got some key moments.

1205
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:45,320
Speaker 2: I got a real kick out of episode two. I

1206
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 2: actually did Will McDonald fourth and Jermaine Johnson the second.

1207
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:54,440
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. You talk about effective pass rushing, you

1208
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 2: talk about complimentary players that they pair on the edge,

1209
01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:01,600
Speaker 2: and of course you know you add in Quinn and

1210
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:05,240
Speaker 2: Williams and Karl Lawson and Al Woods. Dude, this is

1211
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 2: a this is a real pass rush. Robert sala Is

1212
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:13,360
Speaker 2: gonna have a rotation of pass rushers fresh legs, and

1213
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 2: they're gonna need it because they're gonna play Josh Allen twice.

1214
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:20,000
Speaker 2: They're gonna play Dak Prescott, They're gonna play Patrick Mahomes

1215
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:21,880
Speaker 2: in the first four weeks of the season. We're not

1216
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 2: gonna play Josh Allen plice in the first four weeks

1217
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 2: of the season, but we're gonna play twice. This This

1218
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 2: Jet's pass rush is just real. Oh I just all

1219
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 2: I hope for for the Jets is a just stay healthy, please,

1220
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:40,120
Speaker 2: Breese Hall, Garrett Wilson, Sauce Gardners, Aaron Rodgers, stay healthy.

1221
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:44,440
Speaker 2: I want to see a full season with these guys

1222
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 2: and see what might happen. How about the Cowboys, Duce

1223
01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:51,480
Speaker 2: falling out of Kansas State again, feel good story. They

1224
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 2: get the guy in the sixth round, Duce Fawn, son

1225
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 2: of a of a college scouting director. But Jerry Jones,

1226
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:01,440
Speaker 2: of course, he only puts his hands on everything. He's

1227
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 2: got to be good about this selection last Saturday against Jacksonville.

1228
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:07,040
Speaker 2: And remember, Duce fall was very good at Kansas State.

1229
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 2: He's only five foot five, one hundred and seventy eight pounds.

1230
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:13,440
Speaker 2: He racked up fifty yards and a touchdown on eight carries.

1231
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:18,920
Speaker 2: Looks speedy, ran with purpose, and I will tell you

1232
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 2: with no at this point, there is no established number

1233
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:26,840
Speaker 2: two option behind Tony Pollard, and of course Ezekiel Elliott's

1234
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 2: long gone. Give it up to Deuce Faun. He's making

1235
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 2: a strong bid to be part of that running back

1236
01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:33,320
Speaker 2: room and make the team.

1237
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 8: Now.

1238
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:36,640
Speaker 2: I love names. This guy makes my all name team.

1239
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:40,240
Speaker 2: He's been fabulous on film. Wide receiver for Houston named

1240
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 2: Tank Dell. That's his name, all right. He created a

1241
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 2: major buzz for the Texas. They played a Thursday game

1242
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:50,000
Speaker 2: against the New England Patriots, and he wasn't even part

1243
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:51,960
Speaker 2: of the top three selections. He was a third round

1244
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:55,840
Speaker 2: pick from Houston. Sixty five yards, five receptions, had an

1245
01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:58,760
Speaker 2: acrobatic touchdown, cast bobbled it but then hauled it in.

1246
01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:03,680
Speaker 2: That's constant, that's athleticism. That's the whole deal. He's five ten,

1247
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:07,320
Speaker 2: one sixty five. I've always said size is the least

1248
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:10,680
Speaker 2: important aspect of an athlete. I can give you a

1249
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 2: team of big guys that suck. I've seen it on

1250
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 2: every level. If you can play, you can play. Yes,

1251
01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:17,680
Speaker 2: he does have a slight frame. He does have a

1252
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:22,840
Speaker 2: small catch ratius that could prove problematic against certain physical quarterbacks.

1253
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 2: Maybe he gets jammed at the line of scrimmage. But

1254
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:30,599
Speaker 2: he brings tremendous explosiveness and I have I think Houston

1255
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:32,840
Speaker 2: is gonna be very competitive this year. And I love

1256
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:37,200
Speaker 2: Demko Ryans, and I think c J. Stroud again a

1257
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:39,840
Speaker 2: man of high character. He's got a real good chance

1258
01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 2: to make it in the sleep. I just like the

1259
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:43,360
Speaker 2: cut of their jib in Houston. I like their vibe.

1260
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:46,519
Speaker 2: They're not gonna win anything this year, but I will

1261
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:48,720
Speaker 2: tell you you're gonna get a You're gonna get max

1262
01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 2: effort every week because I will just say this that

1263
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:55,559
Speaker 2: when they take the field, they're gonna block and tackle,

1264
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:58,720
Speaker 2: They're gonna be disciplined, They're gonna take on the personality

1265
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:01,280
Speaker 2: their field in general. To meet o'ryans, who's a class guy.

1266
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:04,599
Speaker 2: Watch Houston. They might be a real value this year

1267
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:08,519
Speaker 2: as a dog. I don't want to use the term losers,

1268
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 2: but look, there's no reason to panic or begin, you know,

1269
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:15,479
Speaker 2: having buyers remorse on draft choices. But in broad terms,

1270
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:18,360
Speaker 2: if you look at the four quarterbacks selected in the

1271
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:22,439
Speaker 2: first two rounds this past year, there's a little concern. Now,

1272
01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:26,519
Speaker 2: Bryce Young's numbers are not good and he's spending half

1273
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 2: his time on his back, but I like Bryce Young's traits.

1274
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:32,679
Speaker 2: He gets the ball out of his hand, he makes

1275
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:34,799
Speaker 2: his read progressions, he's walking in the line of scrimmage

1276
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:38,000
Speaker 2: making his progressions. And there's gonna be bumps expected. There's

1277
01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:41,360
Speaker 2: a new coaching staff, a new offense, and every time

1278
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 2: there was a third down, there was a jail break

1279
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:45,760
Speaker 2: and they kept getting to him. And you really can't

1280
01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:50,360
Speaker 2: blame Young. And so Carolina does not look good. But

1281
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:55,920
Speaker 2: it's the freaking preseason, Okay, don't overreact. Now CJ. Stroud

1282
01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:58,880
Speaker 2: the number two pick. They pressured him like a rendered

1283
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 2: mule also on Thursday, but his returns I think were

1284
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:06,680
Speaker 2: a little less encouraging. He looked more unsure of his

1285
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:10,400
Speaker 2: decision making. He threw a bad interception to Jalen Mills.

1286
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:13,000
Speaker 2: He has a tendency to stare it on his hot read.

1287
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:15,160
Speaker 2: He's got to get rid of those things. But again

1288
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:18,400
Speaker 2: both cases, the sample size is far too small to

1289
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:23,679
Speaker 2: get riled up. Anthony Richardson, he's been handed the starting job,

1290
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:27,120
Speaker 2: and again another guy like high quality individual. He checks

1291
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 2: every tool in the box. But remember quarterbacks a position

1292
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:33,320
Speaker 2: you play with your eyes. You make mental snapshots, you

1293
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:35,719
Speaker 2: make your reads, you execute. You have very little time

1294
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:38,599
Speaker 2: to do it. He only had thirteen starts in Florida,

1295
01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 2: and I will tell you that he shows flashes, but

1296
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:48,120
Speaker 2: then there are glaring reminders that this is the National

1297
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:51,320
Speaker 2: Football League and it's a different, different animal. On the

1298
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:54,479
Speaker 2: first drive against the Buffalo Bills, he threw a pass

1299
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:57,400
Speaker 2: off his back foot. It's sailed right into the hands

1300
01:10:57,439 --> 01:11:02,479
Speaker 2: of Dan Jackson. Overall accuracies, frankly, it's erradic. You just

1301
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:04,760
Speaker 2: got to call it as you see it. And he

1302
01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:07,400
Speaker 2: had foot you know, some footwork problems that plagued him

1303
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:11,280
Speaker 2: in college. But he also had a spectacular touchdown throw

1304
01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:15,080
Speaker 2: put right in the hands of Alec Pearce, who he dropped.

1305
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 2: So that's what you're going to see in consistency out

1306
01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:21,800
Speaker 2: of these young guys. And finally, I'm not real high

1307
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:23,519
Speaker 2: on will Levis. I know he can throw a ball

1308
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 2: through a brick wall, and if that gets you wins

1309
01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:29,960
Speaker 2: in the NFL, it's news to me. But if you

1310
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:33,400
Speaker 2: were speculating that will Levis might supplant Ryan Hill as

1311
01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:38,960
Speaker 2: this Titan starter, you might you might want to step

1312
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 2: off on that one. He's going to be a backup.

1313
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:42,760
Speaker 2: He's going to have to battle for the backup. He's

1314
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:45,200
Speaker 2: going to have to beat up Malik Willis as the backup.

1315
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:47,760
Speaker 2: And Willis has showed some promising signs. He had a

1316
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:52,120
Speaker 2: very rocky rookie year, but again Lewis looked very uneasy

1317
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 2: in the pocket through a bad interception in the final minute,

1318
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:57,680
Speaker 2: had another pass that should have been picked off by

1319
01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:02,320
Speaker 2: the rookie cornerback, but it wasn't. And so I think

1320
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:05,080
Speaker 2: these issues are mainly and I'm not gonna go into

1321
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 2: the tree Lance thing. Okay, I said three years ago

1322
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:10,160
Speaker 2: they had to be out of their mind giving up

1323
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:13,200
Speaker 2: three first round picks for a guy got nothing against

1324
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 2: Trey Lance again, another stellar individual. The game he started

1325
01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:18,400
Speaker 2: last year when he got hurt. They were running the

1326
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:20,800
Speaker 2: single wing offense from nineteen oh six. They wouldn't let

1327
01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:23,240
Speaker 2: him do anything. If you saw the ret number the

1328
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:26,240
Speaker 2: game against the Raiders, everything was late getting out of

1329
01:12:26,280 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 2: his hands. He's very unsure. I'm not sure you're gonna

1330
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:30,519
Speaker 2: have to tell me what's the one thing he does well?

1331
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:34,559
Speaker 2: But look, you never know. Okay, I don't write people off,

1332
01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:36,640
Speaker 2: but I will tell you. I don't want to hear

1333
01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:38,839
Speaker 2: any more speeches about how you didn't play enough football

1334
01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:41,360
Speaker 2: and he needs wor no, I don't know. Look, this

1335
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:44,280
Speaker 2: is an unforgive. It's not for long. Cam Newton stepped

1336
01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:47,800
Speaker 2: in through four hundred yards his first game. When Lamar

1337
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:50,240
Speaker 2: Jackson come out of college on Louisville, I had his

1338
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:52,439
Speaker 2: back big time. So this guy can play, and yes

1339
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:54,759
Speaker 2: he can. He can operate from the pocket, just happens

1340
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:57,840
Speaker 2: to be a fabulous runner. When Kyler Murray came out

1341
01:12:57,880 --> 01:12:59,680
Speaker 2: of college, had his bat I don't care what his

1342
01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:01,720
Speaker 2: high he can play, and yes you can operated from

1343
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:04,280
Speaker 2: the pocket. I've not seen that with Lynce, not even close.

1344
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:09,439
Speaker 2: But again, it's the preseason. So whether you're worried about

1345
01:13:09,479 --> 01:13:12,840
Speaker 2: any of the four quarterbacks that brought up Carolina's offensive line,

1346
01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Vikings defense, whatever, Yes, it's the preseason. Don't overreact,

1347
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:22,200
Speaker 2: but I know you will. But there is one story

1348
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:25,479
Speaker 2: that came out of the preseason that Week one. This

1349
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:29,240
Speaker 2: is the kind of story I never, ever, ever, ever

1350
01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:32,200
Speaker 2: ever get tired of, and it has to do with

1351
01:13:32,600 --> 01:13:37,040
Speaker 2: Stenson Bennett, but not something he did. Something one of

1352
01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:39,880
Speaker 2: the opponents did, one of the players did for their

1353
01:13:39,920 --> 01:13:44,240
Speaker 2: opponent against the Chargers, and they all went bananas. You're

1354
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:46,479
Speaker 2: gonna love this story. Coming up. I'm Bernie Fraddle or

1364
01:14:16,520 --> 01:14:18,519
Speaker 2: kind of stories I just never get tired of. Now,

1365
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:23,040
Speaker 2: Stetson Bennett, your two time National Championship champion at Georgia,

1366
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:26,800
Speaker 2: and don't don't go to sleep that he can make

1367
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:30,720
Speaker 2: an NFL team. I think he can. He has. He's

1368
01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:33,000
Speaker 2: gone seventeen to twenty nine foe hundred ninety one yards,

1369
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 2: a touchdown, no interceptions. Now, the Chargers lost seventeen by seven.

1370
01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:43,160
Speaker 2: Check that. Check that his team, you know, lost to

1371
01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:47,240
Speaker 2: the Chargers. Bennett played for the Rams by seventeen, and

1372
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:50,280
Speaker 2: he was also sacked three times for a loss of

1373
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:52,880
Speaker 2: thirty six yards. I wouldn't say those were Bennett's fault,

1374
01:14:52,920 --> 01:14:55,559
Speaker 2: but he gets the stat that lands on a stat line.

1375
01:14:56,600 --> 01:15:03,719
Speaker 2: So here's where the story begins. Later in the game,

1376
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:08,920
Speaker 2: number sixty seven for the Chargers, a gentleman by the

1377
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:14,880
Speaker 2: name of cj Okoya. That's his name, Basil Chichoke Okoya,

1378
01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:21,040
Speaker 2: who goes by CJ sacked Stetson Bennett. Now, I think

1379
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:25,160
Speaker 2: cj Okoya has one of the coolest stories in the

1380
01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:31,960
Speaker 2: National Football League ever, not just this year ever. So again,

1381
01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:35,400
Speaker 2: let's set this up. You got Stetson Bennett Los Angeles.

1382
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:39,759
Speaker 2: Rams played pretty well through for ninety one yards, completed

1383
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:43,760
Speaker 2: seventeen passes, through a touchdown, didn't intercept, didn't get intercepted.

1384
01:15:44,600 --> 01:15:48,360
Speaker 2: Rams lose to the Chargers by seventeen and so amidst

1385
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:52,400
Speaker 2: all those things, you may not notice what happened. Here's

1386
01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:58,519
Speaker 2: the deal. Cg Okoya's from Nicheria. Obviously, he's a god gifted,

1387
01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:04,240
Speaker 2: phenomenal athlete who signed with the Chargers last offseason. He's

1388
01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:10,200
Speaker 2: twenty one years old. He just started playing football two

1389
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:15,080
Speaker 2: years ago. He found his way to La by a

1390
01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:19,760
Speaker 2: vehicle called the International Player Pathway that was started by

1391
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:22,799
Speaker 2: OCU Minora. He played a big role in getting Mcoia discovered.

1392
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:25,280
Speaker 2: Now he's been training for a couple of years. He's

1393
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:28,280
Speaker 2: six six, three hundred and fifteen pounds. He had never

1394
01:16:28,439 --> 01:16:32,240
Speaker 2: played in a single organized football game before last Saturday.

1395
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:35,559
Speaker 2: He didn't play a high school, didn't play Pop Warner

1396
01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:38,920
Speaker 2: sir Chel, didn't play in college, never played in the NBA.

1397
01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:42,200
Speaker 2: You heard me right. Cg Akoya from Nigeria, twenty one

1398
01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:46,479
Speaker 2: years old, had zero in game experience prior to his

1399
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:50,360
Speaker 2: debut against the Rams. For him to be in camp

1400
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:54,400
Speaker 2: is nothing short of a miracle. For him to be

1401
01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 2: on the field for any reason at all is incredible.

1402
01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:04,719
Speaker 2: What happened up and next is beyond description. Okoya sacked

1403
01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:08,240
Speaker 2: Bennett during the fourth quarter. He not only got a

1404
01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:10,960
Speaker 2: chance to play in his first ever football game, not

1405
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:13,200
Speaker 2: a high school game, not a college game, not a

1406
01:17:13,280 --> 01:17:16,400
Speaker 2: semi pro game, not a Pop Warner game, an NFL game,

1407
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:20,759
Speaker 2: and he records a sack in his first ever football

1408
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:26,480
Speaker 2: game well as you might expect to start the Chargers sideline.

1409
01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:31,599
Speaker 2: What absolutely bonkers in bananas. And of course Brandon Staley

1410
01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:34,439
Speaker 2: he couldn't screw this up with analytics. He was very

1411
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:36,720
Speaker 2: proud of Okoya after the game. I want to keep

1412
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:39,360
Speaker 2: an eye on this guy. Do you remember the Nigerian

1413
01:17:39,479 --> 01:17:42,200
Speaker 2: nightmare from the mid eighties, Christian o'koya, the fullback of Kansas.

1414
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:45,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's a you'll play for the Chiefs.

1415
01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:47,479
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's a relation there. I just

1416
01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:50,559
Speaker 2: think this is phenomenal and if the NFL becomes an

1417
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:54,479
Speaker 2: international game like the NBA, maybe we'll see more athletes

1418
01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:58,120
Speaker 2: like CJ. Okoya. Just a great story coming up. Jets

1419
01:17:58,200 --> 01:18:01,799
Speaker 2: Hard Knocks Episode two. I'll go over some key moments

1420
01:18:02,280 --> 01:18:05,040
Speaker 2: and my impressions. I'm Bernie Fraddlewick Comedy Live in Las Vegas,

Speaker 2: recommended installers. Tyrect dot com the way tire buying should be.

1429
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:39,680
Speaker 2: All right. I watch Hard Knocks. I like it. It's entertainment.

1430
01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:47,160
Speaker 2: I enjoy the conversations. I enjoy the interactions. I try

1431
01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:50,280
Speaker 2: to find angles. It's become kind of redundant over the

1432
01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:53,759
Speaker 2: eighteen years. But let's face it, the Jets Aaron Rodgers,

1433
01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:56,479
Speaker 2: I don't really feel like Robert Solid drop on F

1434
01:18:56,560 --> 01:19:01,200
Speaker 2: bombs feels natural to me. He's nowhere near Bill O'Brien

1435
01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:03,920
Speaker 2: in the F bomb category. Or if you want to

1436
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:06,840
Speaker 2: be an expert dropping f bombs, watch the movie Harlem Knights. Brilliant.

1437
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:11,280
Speaker 2: That's a masterclass. But I digress. Okay, second episode is

1438
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:14,240
Speaker 2: in the books. We're on the you know, we're off

1439
01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:17,240
Speaker 2: and running. Four things stuck out to me. First of all,

1440
01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:20,639
Speaker 2: I thought that was a really nice touch. I enjoyed

1441
01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:25,400
Speaker 2: the hell that Oz Perlman magic show. That mentalist kind

1442
01:19:25,439 --> 01:19:28,680
Speaker 2: of a nice departure from the whole deal. Frankly, I

1443
01:19:28,720 --> 01:19:32,599
Speaker 2: thought it was very high entertainment value. This this gentleman

1444
01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:35,439
Speaker 2: Oz Perlman, who can't lie. I never heard of him,

1445
01:19:35,439 --> 01:19:38,720
Speaker 2: but he's kind of like this new age David Copperfield.

1446
01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:41,200
Speaker 2: He performs these mind tricks in a full team meeting,

1447
01:19:42,200 --> 01:19:45,240
Speaker 2: and half the fun was just watching the players react.

1448
01:19:45,960 --> 01:19:48,519
Speaker 2: They were shocked, they were amazed. Hell I was amazed,

1449
01:19:48,560 --> 01:19:51,519
Speaker 2: and of course there were a few players giving eye rolls.

1450
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:54,800
Speaker 2: I don't care. I think he was brought in to

1451
01:19:55,479 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 2: monk for the cameras, for the Hard Knocks purposes and

1452
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:01,599
Speaker 2: provide entertainment value. Sure, really what it did for the Jets,

1453
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:06,479
Speaker 2: but I would just say they did wonder for Ross

1454
01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:11,120
Speaker 2: Perlman's career. But when you know those card tricks and

1455
01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:13,840
Speaker 2: when he snuck the goldfish and Aaron and kept guessing

1456
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:18,439
Speaker 2: the numbers number ten and then at the end the

1457
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:21,600
Speaker 2: segment that linked back to mind control and believing in

1458
01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:25,400
Speaker 2: a team's potential moving forward, he says, every player is

1459
01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:27,800
Speaker 2: a piece, and a puzzle that completes the puzzle has

1460
01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:30,439
Speaker 2: a role to play winning the super Bowl, and they

1461
01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:33,600
Speaker 2: put that one puzzle piece there. How they do this

1462
01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:37,040
Speaker 2: is beyond me. And then I can't think of the

1463
01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:39,320
Speaker 2: name of the player, but he says, Okay, you think

1464
01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:40,920
Speaker 2: you we're going to the super Bowl and you're gonna win, right,

1465
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:43,040
Speaker 2: Who you gonna play? Says, We're gonna play the forty

1466
01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:45,800
Speaker 2: nine ers. What's the score going to be? We're gonna

1467
01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:47,600
Speaker 2: win thirty one to twenty one, and he turns the

1468
01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:49,880
Speaker 2: board around and it says forty nine ers, thirty one

1469
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:53,320
Speaker 2: to twenty one. I don't I'm telling you, man, how

1470
01:20:53,400 --> 01:20:57,320
Speaker 2: this happens. I don't know. It's maybe the most unique

1471
01:20:57,400 --> 01:20:59,519
Speaker 2: five minutes in the history of Hard Knocks that I've

1472
01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:01,640
Speaker 2: ever seen. You know, they got to do something to

1473
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:04,840
Speaker 2: make up for not watching guys get cut, but that

1474
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:05,840
Speaker 2: scored big with me.

1475
01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:06,400
Speaker 8: Right.

1476
01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:09,160
Speaker 2: The episode also, I think did a good job of

1477
01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:12,840
Speaker 2: sort of highlighting the good, bad and the ugly from

1478
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:17,240
Speaker 2: the team activities from the week before. Okay, it's been overplayed.

1479
01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:19,719
Speaker 2: Jets fans know where the holes exist on the roster,

1480
01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:22,120
Speaker 2: but what they did is take those holes and put

1481
01:21:22,120 --> 01:21:26,840
Speaker 2: it under a microscope, all right, And the series sort

1482
01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:30,240
Speaker 2: of cut to the flooring park scrimmages and they show

1483
01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:33,680
Speaker 2: all these fights breaking out and then leading up to

1484
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:37,840
Speaker 2: that moment. It just, you know, it kind of gave

1485
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:40,400
Speaker 2: a dose reality because everything with Sunshine and Raven was

1486
01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:43,120
Speaker 2: about the Jets. That everybody loves Aaron Rodgers and they

1487
01:21:43,160 --> 01:21:46,759
Speaker 2: know we're here and you know it again, the fights,

1488
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:50,760
Speaker 2: they're a part of training camp and for some that's

1489
01:21:50,880 --> 01:21:52,880
Speaker 2: entertainment value. They get a little old. I mean, remember

1490
01:21:52,880 --> 01:21:55,360
Speaker 2: everybody's patted up. You were on helmets. You're gonna punch

1491
01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:57,000
Speaker 2: you guy in a helmet with your hand. You know

1492
01:21:57,479 --> 01:22:00,280
Speaker 2: that might not be real smart, but tempers flip and

1493
01:22:00,400 --> 01:22:04,000
Speaker 2: you know football is a violent, physical, emotional game and

1494
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:06,839
Speaker 2: you can't back down. Right. They had that joint practice

1495
01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:11,240
Speaker 2: with Carolina Robert Sala. What did he do? He made

1496
01:22:11,280 --> 01:22:13,800
Speaker 2: a big example out of his old line. That's where

1497
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:15,679
Speaker 2: the F bombs came in and F bomb, F bomb,

1498
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:19,000
Speaker 2: F bomb, F bomb held him Acconnabal for their subpar performance.

1499
01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:21,639
Speaker 2: As we got all this elite talent offense. But if

1500
01:22:21,680 --> 01:22:23,640
Speaker 2: you don't fin this and f and that step up

1501
01:22:23,640 --> 01:22:25,320
Speaker 2: to who you're gonna be blah blah blah blah blah.

1502
01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 2: I thought that was clunky. I like Robert Sala. But

1503
01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:32,360
Speaker 2: don't you know that's not you. Man. You've heard me

1504
01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:35,600
Speaker 2: tell the Tony Dungee story where he came close to

1505
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:38,479
Speaker 2: a couple jobs and owners wondered if he could he

1506
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:40,479
Speaker 2: can flip into that gear and Dudgey says, no, I

1507
01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:43,439
Speaker 2: don't do that. I don't do that. Number One, I

1508
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:46,080
Speaker 2: don't think it works. Number two, it's not my nature.

1509
01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:49,320
Speaker 2: Number Three, if I did, I think my players would

1510
01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:51,960
Speaker 2: see right through it. Well, that's not kind of how

1511
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:54,200
Speaker 2: I feel about Robert Sala. Robert Sala is a good dude.

1512
01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:56,680
Speaker 2: He's from Deerborn, Michigan. I'm pretty sure he went to

1513
01:22:56,760 --> 01:23:00,479
Speaker 2: forts in high school. Very interesting high school, goog you'll

1514
01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:02,479
Speaker 2: see what I mean. They won the state football championship

1515
01:23:02,479 --> 01:23:06,400
Speaker 2: in ninety three and it's it's the largest Middle Eastern

1516
01:23:06,479 --> 01:23:09,360
Speaker 2: population in the United States city Dearborn, and all the

1517
01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:12,439
Speaker 2: players had their you know, their their Muslim names. It

1518
01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:14,240
Speaker 2: was fabulous. It was a really good team, really good

1519
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:17,080
Speaker 2: defensive team. They've kept a lot of their traditions. Very

1520
01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:21,760
Speaker 2: interesting part of the country, and Robert Sala hails from

1521
01:23:21,800 --> 01:23:24,840
Speaker 2: an area where there's there's a lot of discipline there, right,

1522
01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:27,120
Speaker 2: and there's there's really not a lot of chess beating,

1523
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:29,559
Speaker 2: So for him to break into this it's sort of weird.

1524
01:23:30,200 --> 01:23:34,960
Speaker 2: Will McDonald really caught my eye. They featured him on

1525
01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:39,000
Speaker 2: and off the field. This is a dude who's lightning quick,

1526
01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:42,760
Speaker 2: who gets to the quarterback, extremely athletic, and that game

1527
01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:47,240
Speaker 2: against Carolina when you see what this This guy's a problem.

1528
01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:50,160
Speaker 2: He's going to be a problem for opposing offenses. Okay,

1529
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:54,000
Speaker 2: they're hyping him, but the hype is real, and even

1530
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:57,519
Speaker 2: his opponents say, dude, all right man. They called him shifty.

1531
01:23:58,720 --> 01:24:01,640
Speaker 2: He said, boy, you're gonna be good. Man Shifty. They

1532
01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:05,120
Speaker 2: gave him props because he's a guy who is going

1533
01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:08,960
Speaker 2: to make an offensive coordinator's job very hard. You're gonna

1534
01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:10,719
Speaker 2: have to mark this guy, You're gonna have to block

1535
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:14,720
Speaker 2: this guy. There are high expectations and hopes for the

1536
01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:17,400
Speaker 2: Jets and particularly their edge rushers, and this is a

1537
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:23,519
Speaker 2: guy that is going to very clearly contribute. However, Comma,

1538
01:24:25,160 --> 01:24:28,000
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I could have probably done without

1539
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:30,559
Speaker 2: the face piercing journey in this whole deal. I don't

1540
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:33,240
Speaker 2: know if he saw it, but he walks into this

1541
01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:38,760
Speaker 2: mom pop piercing establishment. The cameras he gets his ear done,

1542
01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:44,639
Speaker 2: his eyebrow done, and his nose pierced. Some guy working

1543
01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:48,560
Speaker 2: there his name was Bussy. There wasn't a hell of

1544
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:50,680
Speaker 2: a lot of entertainment value. I can't tell you it

1545
01:24:50,720 --> 01:24:56,479
Speaker 2: didn't keep my attention. I didn't look away. But when

1546
01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:59,679
Speaker 2: you're watching him cringe, when they're sticking this long needle

1547
01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:03,760
Speaker 2: through a nostril, and the technician, who's obviously very good

1548
01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:05,439
Speaker 2: at what he did, the whole thing's kind of creepy.

1549
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:08,560
Speaker 2: The nose piercing, I don't really want to see the

1550
01:25:08,640 --> 01:25:10,400
Speaker 2: sausage made. I don't know if I wanted to see that.

1551
01:25:10,560 --> 01:25:14,080
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it was bothersome, but it felt like

1552
01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:19,439
Speaker 2: an odd ball way to feature Will McDonald. But they

1553
01:25:19,479 --> 01:25:24,200
Speaker 2: did it, Okay. I'll check with with Ethan and Kevin

1554
01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:30,240
Speaker 2: in a few minutes. But for me, I don't know

1555
01:25:30,439 --> 01:25:32,519
Speaker 2: it was cringe worthy, but I do I was determined

1556
01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:36,160
Speaker 2: what I do is I recorded every week just so

1557
01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:38,200
Speaker 2: I can watch what I want, But I didn't. I

1558
01:25:38,200 --> 01:25:40,720
Speaker 2: don't fast forward anything. I said, I gotta I don't

1559
01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:42,920
Speaker 2: want to miss anything, and I got to tell you.

1560
01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:46,599
Speaker 2: Then Will McDonald talked about how, hey man, that last

1561
01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:48,400
Speaker 2: one really hurt and he had tears coming out of

1562
01:25:48,439 --> 01:25:50,760
Speaker 2: his eyes. When, okay, you really want to have all

1563
01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:53,120
Speaker 2: that jewel yan under a helmet in those high speed collision.

1564
01:25:53,160 --> 01:25:54,800
Speaker 2: I don't know how you do it, right, I got

1565
01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:57,360
Speaker 2: no beef. Somebody wants to You want to get tatted up,

1566
01:25:57,360 --> 01:25:58,760
Speaker 2: You want to get ink, you want to get a sleeve,

1567
01:25:58,840 --> 01:26:00,720
Speaker 2: you want to get a nose ring, you want to

1568
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:04,479
Speaker 2: get an ear ring, you want to get an eyebrow ring. Whatever, Fine,

1569
01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:09,920
Speaker 2: watching him get done. You know what, knock yourself out.

1570
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:12,920
Speaker 2: Watch it. You will not be disappointed in terms of

1571
01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:17,920
Speaker 2: what kind of chills it runs through having to watch that. Okay,

1572
01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:22,560
Speaker 2: just saying I thought it was smart to focus on

1573
01:26:22,680 --> 01:26:26,720
Speaker 2: quinnin Whims and the Defense because Quinn Williams just got

1574
01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:29,479
Speaker 2: the big money. He's a very interesting guy. I like

1575
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:31,800
Speaker 2: what comes out of his mouth. He's got a great personality,

1576
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:36,840
Speaker 2: He's got a fabulous ability to carry himself as a professional.

1577
01:26:37,400 --> 01:26:40,360
Speaker 2: He got ten sacks in one day's work. And it

1578
01:26:40,439 --> 01:26:42,120
Speaker 2: was funny because, man, I got ten sacks today. I

1579
01:26:42,200 --> 01:26:44,000
Speaker 2: got ten sacks today, and Robert Salid goes, so what,

1580
01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:47,840
Speaker 2: it's not September eleventh, And that's what coaches.

1581
01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:48,000
Speaker 3: Do, right.

1582
01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:50,280
Speaker 2: But I think you got to give a shout out

1583
01:26:50,320 --> 01:26:52,959
Speaker 2: to the producers the way they highlighted Aaron Rodgers the episode.

1584
01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:56,720
Speaker 2: It was a little less worshiping, okay, a little more

1585
01:26:56,840 --> 01:26:59,400
Speaker 2: of Hey, the guy at perfect does walk on water,

1586
01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:02,679
Speaker 2: you know. Okay, you can only see so many stupid

1587
01:27:02,760 --> 01:27:05,880
Speaker 2: no look passes which I don't care or you know,

1588
01:27:06,360 --> 01:27:10,160
Speaker 2: mentoring Zach Wilson or Rogers clever little one liners or

1589
01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:13,160
Speaker 2: any that. This time, you know, he was uh, he

1590
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:15,320
Speaker 2: was more of the Aaron Rodgers football player and a

1591
01:27:15,400 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 2: little less rehearsed and a little less guarded, right, And

1592
01:27:20,520 --> 01:27:23,320
Speaker 2: except for the one where he you know, and again

1593
01:27:23,400 --> 01:27:25,960
Speaker 2: foot the NFL is a fraternity, man, it's a it's

1594
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:28,720
Speaker 2: a men's club like no other, and you can't buy

1595
01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:30,160
Speaker 2: your way in. And I thought it was kind of

1596
01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:33,760
Speaker 2: crazy when he found one of the assistant coaches for

1597
01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:36,400
Speaker 2: the Panthers, you know, James Campen and he went over

1598
01:27:36,479 --> 01:27:39,160
Speaker 2: to say hello, and you'll see that if you watch

1599
01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:41,040
Speaker 2: this set when I get it. You know James Campen,

1600
01:27:41,120 --> 01:27:43,920
Speaker 2: you know he could mix in a salad. Okay, he's

1601
01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:46,320
Speaker 2: he's not exactly in the best shape. If he was

1602
01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:48,800
Speaker 2: about an inch taller, he'd be a perfect circle. But

1603
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:50,760
Speaker 2: to go over and call him a fat ass, and

1604
01:27:51,080 --> 01:27:53,240
Speaker 2: the way he treated it was a little it was

1605
01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:56,519
Speaker 2: it was a little weird. So but if you add

1606
01:27:56,600 --> 01:28:01,160
Speaker 2: up the moments in in the program osin Perlman's performance

1607
01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:04,080
Speaker 2: will McDonald is play on the field, and then his

1608
01:28:04,240 --> 01:28:09,320
Speaker 2: performance in the Piercing studio, and then Rogers and his

1609
01:28:09,520 --> 01:28:13,439
Speaker 2: conversation with James Campen, there were moments. There were moments

1610
01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:16,479
Speaker 2: that caused you to sit up and pay attention, right,

1611
01:28:17,439 --> 01:28:22,360
Speaker 2: And that's the thing behind Hard Knocks. You know, what

1612
01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:25,400
Speaker 2: entertainment value is there? What content can they provide you

1613
01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:28,120
Speaker 2: You're really not going to get anywhere else. What's going

1614
01:28:28,160 --> 01:28:33,519
Speaker 2: to be unique and noteworthy and memorable. So it's something

1615
01:28:33,560 --> 01:28:36,000
Speaker 2: you may refer back to later in the season. Should

1616
01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:38,519
Speaker 2: Green Bay do well or check that Jets do well

1617
01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:41,639
Speaker 2: or maybe not do so well. So those are my thoughts.

1618
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:43,719
Speaker 2: In a minute, we'll bring in the guys get their thoughts.

1619
01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:45,400
Speaker 2: Hopefully they're watching it. If not, we'll just get their

1620
01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:47,519
Speaker 2: opinion on the Jets. But I'm going to continue to

1621
01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:52,680
Speaker 2: watch Hard Knocks. I always do because I'm always fascinated

1622
01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:56,240
Speaker 2: with how any business conducts their affairs at the highest level.

1623
01:28:56,280 --> 01:28:58,720
Speaker 2: And I had the very good privilege of covering the

1624
01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:00,720
Speaker 2: Lions for ten years and did not have a hell

1625
01:29:00,760 --> 01:29:02,640
Speaker 2: of a lot of success on the field, but I

1626
01:29:02,640 --> 01:29:05,000
Speaker 2: always thought they were a first class organization in terms

1627
01:29:05,040 --> 01:29:07,719
Speaker 2: of the way they treated the media, and Ford Field's

1628
01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:12,720
Speaker 2: a great place to see a game, and truly got

1629
01:29:12,760 --> 01:29:14,800
Speaker 2: the chance. They have a lot of very high level

1630
01:29:14,920 --> 01:29:19,360
Speaker 2: conversations with some very dynamic people who are very good

1631
01:29:19,400 --> 01:29:24,559
Speaker 2: at what they do in a very competitive industry. Very smart,

1632
01:29:25,560 --> 01:29:29,200
Speaker 2: very resourceful, very ambitious. It takes a lot to get

1633
01:29:29,240 --> 01:29:31,160
Speaker 2: to that point. By the time they get to that

1634
01:29:31,200 --> 01:29:33,479
Speaker 2: point in the NFL, they probably move six times, move

1635
01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:36,120
Speaker 2: their family. And believe me, no one hands you the job.

1636
01:29:36,520 --> 01:29:39,880
Speaker 2: You got to earn it. So sometimes you look at

1637
01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:41,800
Speaker 2: how the other half lives and it gives you a

1638
01:29:41,880 --> 01:29:45,120
Speaker 2: peek and I enjoy it, And so look. Hard Knocks

1639
01:29:45,240 --> 01:29:47,920
Speaker 2: is a franchise that's been going for eighteen years. Is

1640
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:51,040
Speaker 2: this Jet's version of it going to go down as

1641
01:29:51,040 --> 01:29:53,519
Speaker 2: one of the most memorable? Likely not. Things have just

1642
01:29:53,600 --> 01:29:56,840
Speaker 2: simply changed. Some things are played out, and I know

1643
01:29:57,000 --> 01:30:00,280
Speaker 2: everybody always got a kick out when players were cut,

1644
01:30:00,720 --> 01:30:03,519
Speaker 2: not because they want to see something bad happen to somebody,

1645
01:30:03,600 --> 01:30:07,519
Speaker 2: but it's how it's handled. It's raw, it's unrehearsed, and

1646
01:30:08,040 --> 01:30:14,120
Speaker 2: oftentimes it would lead to some very memorable moments. But

1647
01:30:14,200 --> 01:30:16,080
Speaker 2: those days are gone. The Jets said they're not going

1648
01:30:16,160 --> 01:30:18,240
Speaker 2: to do that. Coming up, we'll bring in the crew,

1649
01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:20,680
Speaker 2: get their thoughts first. I want to remind everybody the

Speaker 2: All kinds of stuff cooking Saturday night, but we're talking

1675
01:31:48,880 --> 01:31:51,679
Speaker 2: about hard knocks. My four takeaways. I love the opening

1676
01:31:51,720 --> 01:31:56,960
Speaker 2: act with Oz Proman, this menalist magician. I noted Robert

1677
01:31:57,240 --> 01:32:03,400
Speaker 2: Salas f bomb laced expose of the offensive line and

1678
01:32:03,479 --> 01:32:06,439
Speaker 2: how that could be the showstopper for the Jets. Will

1679
01:32:06,560 --> 01:32:09,360
Speaker 2: McDonald making plays on the field, making plays off the field,

1680
01:32:09,400 --> 01:32:12,240
Speaker 2: getting everything pierced on his face, and then of course

1681
01:32:12,520 --> 01:32:16,800
Speaker 2: Quinn Williams and what a key impact he's gonna have.

1682
01:32:17,120 --> 01:32:23,160
Speaker 2: Just my thoughts, Kevin, are you watching Hard Knocks this year?

1683
01:32:23,400 --> 01:32:25,679
Speaker 5: I am, and I know last week I hadn't watched

1684
01:32:25,720 --> 01:32:27,679
Speaker 5: episode one. This week I did go back and watch

1685
01:32:27,760 --> 01:32:29,360
Speaker 5: episode one and episode two.

1686
01:32:29,640 --> 01:32:32,200
Speaker 2: Oh good, caught up. What are your thoughts? What are

1687
01:32:32,240 --> 01:32:33,080
Speaker 2: some of your takeaways?

1688
01:32:33,400 --> 01:32:36,599
Speaker 5: Well, my wife and I were very amused by Tinzel

1689
01:32:36,680 --> 01:32:39,720
Speaker 5: Smart his butchering of Charcu Reboard, and I don't know

1690
01:32:39,760 --> 01:32:42,240
Speaker 5: if I can say what he said on over terrestrial

1691
01:32:42,360 --> 01:32:46,600
Speaker 5: radio outside of that, The Mentalist was really cool. That

1692
01:32:46,760 --> 01:32:48,920
Speaker 5: was interesting, and we were like that just that was amazed.

1693
01:32:49,400 --> 01:32:52,280
Speaker 5: I don't know, it's it's insane, it really is. And

1694
01:32:52,360 --> 01:32:54,559
Speaker 5: I love how one of the comments after the card

1695
01:32:54,600 --> 01:32:56,240
Speaker 5: trick with Aaron Rodgers and they said, what would you

1696
01:32:56,280 --> 01:32:57,439
Speaker 5: have done if it was a giraffe?

1697
01:32:57,720 --> 01:33:00,320
Speaker 2: That's right? That was funny. That was good. That was good.

1698
01:33:01,280 --> 01:33:03,360
Speaker 5: Maybe I differ a little bit on Robert sala Now.

1699
01:33:03,400 --> 01:33:06,560
Speaker 5: I thought his opening message in episode one where he

1700
01:33:06,640 --> 01:33:08,880
Speaker 5: diet the crow when the eagle was a little bit

1701
01:33:08,920 --> 01:33:10,479
Speaker 5: of was a little corny and out of character.

1702
01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:11,840
Speaker 2: That seemed very forced to me.

1703
01:33:12,439 --> 01:33:14,560
Speaker 5: His speech to the offensive line and maybe I'm a

1704
01:33:14,640 --> 01:33:16,320
Speaker 5: sucker came off as very genuine.

1705
01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:16,840
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1706
01:33:16,920 --> 01:33:19,519
Speaker 5: The the F bombs probably probably a little over the

1707
01:33:19,600 --> 01:33:23,000
Speaker 5: top of not his natural personality, but but I do

1708
01:33:23,200 --> 01:33:25,960
Speaker 5: feel that the message in and of itself was extremely genuine.

1709
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:27,400
Speaker 5: I don't think he was hamming it up for the

1710
01:33:27,479 --> 01:33:30,400
Speaker 5: cameras at all. And I came away with him actually

1711
01:33:30,720 --> 01:33:32,519
Speaker 5: seeing a stern message to the old line like this

1712
01:33:32,640 --> 01:33:35,160
Speaker 5: isn't good enough to get it done. So that was

1713
01:33:35,240 --> 01:33:37,479
Speaker 5: I thought that was a great moment in showing Robert

1714
01:33:37,560 --> 01:33:40,240
Speaker 5: Sala his sternness in front of the team and being

1715
01:33:40,240 --> 01:33:43,360
Speaker 5: able to call out one particular group in front of everyone.

1716
01:33:43,840 --> 01:33:45,759
Speaker 5: So I thought that was I thought that was interesting,

1717
01:33:45,880 --> 01:33:47,200
Speaker 5: But I thought it's been good.

1718
01:33:47,479 --> 01:33:50,719
Speaker 2: I'm in agreement with that that. I believed his tone

1719
01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:55,240
Speaker 2: was sincere, his message was sincere, but I thought the

1720
01:33:55,800 --> 01:33:59,559
Speaker 2: F bombs were gratuitous. It just doesn't feel like he's

1721
01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:04,920
Speaker 2: in F bomb guy, you know. I mean, Bill O'Brien

1722
01:34:05,120 --> 01:34:06,840
Speaker 2: was an F bomb guy to the point where the

1723
01:34:06,960 --> 01:34:10,320
Speaker 2: word lost its effectiveness. But man, it just rolled off

1724
01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:12,799
Speaker 2: his tongue. And by the way, one of my favorite

1725
01:34:12,840 --> 01:34:16,639
Speaker 2: movies of all time, Harlem Knight. Did you see Harlem Knight? Oh?

1726
01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:21,160
Speaker 2: My guys, man, I you know, I watched a movie

1727
01:34:21,200 --> 01:34:22,960
Speaker 2: every couple of years and probably due to watch it again.

1728
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:25,120
Speaker 2: It holds up. But the first twenty minutes for the

1729
01:34:25,240 --> 01:34:27,519
Speaker 2: F bomb parade, it's the real deal. So so I'm

1730
01:34:27,560 --> 01:34:30,599
Speaker 2: holding Robert solid to a high standard. It just doesn't

1731
01:34:30,800 --> 01:34:33,560
Speaker 2: I agree with you that the message was good and

1732
01:34:33,680 --> 01:34:37,760
Speaker 2: appropriate and effective. The tone was sincere. It's just that

1733
01:34:38,360 --> 01:34:39,680
Speaker 2: his choice of the F bomb. Do you know what

1734
01:34:39,760 --> 01:34:41,320
Speaker 2: else I left docav and I didn't really get to.

1735
01:34:41,479 --> 01:34:41,639
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1736
01:34:41,920 --> 01:34:45,280
Speaker 2: Those rookie shows, Oh that was the suckiest rookie show

1737
01:34:45,320 --> 01:34:46,720
Speaker 2: I've ever seen. They're gonna make him do another one,

1738
01:34:46,760 --> 01:34:48,320
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, they are. That was brutal.

1739
01:34:49,200 --> 01:34:49,920
Speaker 8: What was that?

1740
01:34:50,520 --> 01:34:53,160
Speaker 5: I have no idea what they Initially they were trying

1741
01:34:53,200 --> 01:34:55,759
Speaker 5: to come in. I think they are trying to parody

1742
01:34:56,000 --> 01:34:59,000
Speaker 5: Kendrick Lamar's Grammy performance from a few years ago at

1743
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:01,240
Speaker 5: the very beginning, and then after that, I have no

1744
01:35:01,320 --> 01:35:02,360
Speaker 5: idea what the hell they were doing.

1745
01:35:03,120 --> 01:35:06,960
Speaker 2: But if I always like it when a rookie show

1746
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:10,320
Speaker 2: includes some singing, yeah or some creativity. There's been some

1747
01:35:10,400 --> 01:35:12,800
Speaker 2: pretty good ones over the years, right yeah. I mean

1748
01:35:13,240 --> 01:35:15,760
Speaker 2: John Doribos, who's the launch snapper for the Eagles. He

1749
01:35:16,040 --> 01:35:17,760
Speaker 2: was I know, I'm sure Ethan knows what we is.

1750
01:35:18,720 --> 01:35:21,439
Speaker 2: He did some magic tricks like twelve fifteen years ago,

1751
01:35:21,479 --> 01:35:24,040
Speaker 2: they were off the charts, and always a professional magician.

1752
01:35:24,120 --> 01:35:28,600
Speaker 2: But that was terrible. As far as the expectations for

1753
01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:32,400
Speaker 2: the Jets because of Aaron Rodgers, because it's New York

1754
01:35:32,600 --> 01:35:34,880
Speaker 2: and everything attached to it. In the expectations this year,

1755
01:35:35,920 --> 01:35:38,599
Speaker 2: would you say the first two episodes have lived up

1756
01:35:38,640 --> 01:35:40,679
Speaker 2: to whatever the building would have been.

1757
01:35:41,360 --> 01:35:43,200
Speaker 5: I'd say so. I mean, look at an episode one.

1758
01:35:43,280 --> 01:35:45,160
Speaker 5: You got a lot of Aaron Rodgers, which is to

1759
01:35:45,280 --> 01:35:47,840
Speaker 5: be expected. I don't don't think anybody is surprised about that.

1760
01:35:48,040 --> 01:35:50,040
Speaker 5: I thought, you know, Aaron Rodgers still had a little

1761
01:35:50,080 --> 01:35:53,400
Speaker 5: bit of shine in episode two with the whole Grass situation.

1762
01:35:54,400 --> 01:35:55,959
Speaker 5: But I thought they did a good job of spotlighting

1763
01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:58,120
Speaker 5: other players. Talking about Zach Wilson in the role he

1764
01:35:58,240 --> 01:36:00,920
Speaker 5: has to play this season, backing up Aaron Rodgers.

1765
01:36:01,040 --> 01:36:02,200
Speaker 2: I thought it was pretty cool.

1766
01:36:02,120 --> 01:36:05,080
Speaker 5: The little o Shenanigans with the video is this a

1767
01:36:05,520 --> 01:36:07,800
Speaker 5: pass play or a run play? With yeah, yeah, yeah,

1768
01:36:08,240 --> 01:36:12,439
Speaker 5: highlighting how hinge yeah, how good Aaron Rodgers is not

1769
01:36:12,520 --> 01:36:15,040
Speaker 5: being able to determine whether or not it's a pass

1770
01:36:15,160 --> 01:36:17,080
Speaker 5: or run. So I thought that was very good, you know,

1771
01:36:17,240 --> 01:36:19,040
Speaker 5: and the what McDonald think was great too, Like, I'm

1772
01:36:19,439 --> 01:36:21,880
Speaker 5: not big into tattoos and piercings and.

1773
01:36:21,880 --> 01:36:23,400
Speaker 2: All that, and it was kind of excruciating.

1774
01:36:23,479 --> 01:36:25,720
Speaker 5: But to each their own and to your point, how

1775
01:36:25,800 --> 01:36:28,320
Speaker 5: somebody plays with all of that, I have no idea.

1776
01:36:28,560 --> 01:36:31,200
Speaker 5: It's ridiculous to me. But overall, I have not been

1777
01:36:31,240 --> 01:36:33,519
Speaker 5: disappointed with the first couple of episodes. It's been about

1778
01:36:33,520 --> 01:36:34,240
Speaker 5: what I expected.

1779
01:36:34,439 --> 01:36:36,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think there are about three left and

1780
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:39,640
Speaker 2: I hope to get a little bit more raw. One

1781
01:36:39,680 --> 01:36:42,040
Speaker 2: of the things he stuck out of my mind is, look,

1782
01:36:42,560 --> 01:36:45,559
Speaker 2: these were real drills, and the defensive line was beating

1783
01:36:45,600 --> 01:36:48,680
Speaker 2: the offensive line. You're not supposed to touch the quarterback,

1784
01:36:49,520 --> 01:36:52,439
Speaker 2: and they kept getting to Aaron and then they shot sack. Right,

1785
01:36:52,520 --> 01:36:54,800
Speaker 2: they'd shot sack, and they were crediting with a sack.

1786
01:36:54,880 --> 01:36:58,120
Speaker 2: And there was one moment that was raw when Rogers

1787
01:36:58,640 --> 01:37:00,920
Speaker 2: turned around and looked at the looked at his defensive

1788
01:37:00,960 --> 01:37:03,080
Speaker 2: quarter and says, no, kiss his ass. That was a sack.

1789
01:37:03,400 --> 01:37:05,920
Speaker 2: That was a sack Rogers, he would have put you

1790
01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:08,720
Speaker 2: on your back. And so I want to see because look,

1791
01:37:09,840 --> 01:37:11,680
Speaker 2: I know for a fact Aaron Rodgers can get the

1792
01:37:11,720 --> 01:37:13,120
Speaker 2: red ass. I want to see more of that. Not

1793
01:37:13,120 --> 01:37:14,840
Speaker 2: because I think he's a bad guy. I dontly care,

1794
01:37:15,320 --> 01:37:17,080
Speaker 2: but you want it to be as genuine as you can,

1795
01:37:17,200 --> 01:37:20,759
Speaker 2: because we all know that reality TV is anything but reality.

1796
01:37:20,840 --> 01:37:25,599
Speaker 2: It's scripted, it's produced, it's edited, it's formatted. And by

1797
01:37:25,640 --> 01:37:28,800
Speaker 2: the way, as you know, Kevin, there can be nothing

1798
01:37:28,840 --> 01:37:32,040
Speaker 2: that will appear on TV, on film that goes public

1799
01:37:32,120 --> 01:37:34,479
Speaker 2: without the Jets signing off on it, right, right.

1800
01:37:34,520 --> 01:37:37,040
Speaker 5: And it was definitely has been I think, especially in

1801
01:37:37,120 --> 01:37:40,320
Speaker 5: episode one, Aaron Rodgers, you know, trying to do some

1802
01:37:40,479 --> 01:37:43,080
Speaker 5: damage control on his reputation, and like, I'm a team guy,

1803
01:37:43,200 --> 01:37:45,880
Speaker 5: people love me, joke around with everybody. But to your point,

1804
01:37:46,320 --> 01:37:48,400
Speaker 5: you can do both. There's nothing wrong with being have

1805
01:37:48,520 --> 01:37:50,599
Speaker 5: being a good teammate and joking around. But like when

1806
01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:52,880
Speaker 5: rubber hits the road and you're in practice and you're

1807
01:37:52,920 --> 01:37:55,160
Speaker 5: the heat of battle, call guys out, curse him out.

1808
01:37:55,200 --> 01:37:56,960
Speaker 2: This is what we were known for, and it's fine.

1809
01:37:57,000 --> 01:37:58,800
Speaker 5: It's a competitor and that's why you were one of

1810
01:37:58,840 --> 01:38:01,280
Speaker 5: the great quarterbacks of all time because of that competitive drive.

1811
01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:04,080
Speaker 2: So yeah, let it out absolutely, and you know that

1812
01:38:04,240 --> 01:38:05,840
Speaker 2: going in I mean even on the high school level.

1813
01:38:05,840 --> 01:38:08,000
Speaker 2: Al Right, Ethan your thoughts on the hard.

1814
01:38:07,880 --> 01:38:11,080
Speaker 8: Knocks, Yeah, just to back you guys up, I think

1815
01:38:11,120 --> 01:38:15,160
Speaker 8: it's I mean what Kpig was saying, I think it's

1816
01:38:15,600 --> 01:38:18,920
Speaker 8: great this year. I think it's going pretty well. Everything

1817
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:22,480
Speaker 8: that you know they're showing. I think on a production standpoint,

1818
01:38:22,720 --> 01:38:26,800
Speaker 8: I think that they're doing a great job, you know,

1819
01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:30,400
Speaker 8: following the players and really getting you the whole Aaron

1820
01:38:30,520 --> 01:38:35,559
Speaker 8: Rodgers story and the Jets maybe having themselves a decent year.

1821
01:38:36,680 --> 01:38:37,320
Speaker 6: I'm into it.

1822
01:38:37,760 --> 01:38:41,080
Speaker 8: I think it's got more buzz this year than most

1823
01:38:41,160 --> 01:38:43,680
Speaker 8: other years just because of the storyline. So it just

1824
01:38:43,760 --> 01:38:47,760
Speaker 8: adds to the drama reality television effect and I think

1825
01:38:47,800 --> 01:38:49,160
Speaker 8: it goes well with the program.

1826
01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:50,920
Speaker 6: So I'm on board with it.

1827
01:38:51,000 --> 01:38:51,360
Speaker 8: I like it.

1828
01:38:51,400 --> 01:38:53,599
Speaker 6: I've been watching it and I'm excited to keep watching.

1829
01:38:54,520 --> 01:38:57,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we'll review it every week. And it had

1830
01:38:57,640 --> 01:38:59,840
Speaker 2: to be the Jets because that's where all the storylines are.

1831
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:04,519
Speaker 2: It's New York, it's Aaron Rodgers, and it just flows

1832
01:39:04,920 --> 01:39:08,840
Speaker 2: from there. By the way, Sweden and Australia. They are

1833
01:39:08,960 --> 01:39:11,720
Speaker 2: in the thirtieth minute of the first half of the

1834
01:39:11,800 --> 01:39:16,120
Speaker 2: third place game three am Pacific, six am Eastern. Heading

1835
01:39:16,160 --> 01:39:19,920
Speaker 2: into Sunday morning, England and Spain will teed up for

1836
01:39:20,439 --> 01:39:23,240
Speaker 2: the championship of the World Cup. Goes by fast. And

1837
01:39:23,800 --> 01:39:25,559
Speaker 2: even though the World Cup was coming to an end,

1838
01:39:26,200 --> 01:39:29,479
Speaker 2: and even though that the next key event will be

1839
01:39:29,600 --> 01:39:35,639
Speaker 2: the Olympics twenty twenty four, the news of soccer never ends,

1840
01:39:35,760 --> 01:39:38,240
Speaker 2: and so coming up we will bring you Chris Prophett's

1841
01:39:38,280 --> 01:39:40,639
Speaker 2: World of Soccer. But first go back to our guy,

1842
01:39:41,200 --> 01:39:42,599
Speaker 2: Kevin Figures with the latest.

1843
01:39:42,640 --> 01:39:45,920
Speaker 5: All right, Bernie, and talking about NFL preseason. We had

1844
01:39:45,920 --> 01:39:48,519
Speaker 5: a couple of matchups on Friday night. Bryce Young, top

1845
01:39:48,600 --> 01:39:51,040
Speaker 5: overall pick, played a couple of series for Carolina three

1846
01:39:51,080 --> 01:39:54,000
Speaker 5: of six passing for thirty five yards. They lead them

1847
01:39:54,040 --> 01:39:56,640
Speaker 5: on a field goal drive. His counterpart Daniel Jones eight

1848
01:39:56,720 --> 01:39:59,680
Speaker 5: of nine passing sixty nine yards and a touchdown as

1849
01:39:59,680 --> 01:40:03,559
Speaker 5: a Giant defeated Carolina twenty one to nineteen. Desmond Rider,

1850
01:40:03,560 --> 01:40:06,200
Speaker 5: of the starting quarterback for Atlanta, played a little bit

1851
01:40:06,280 --> 01:40:08,920
Speaker 5: seven of nine passing eighty yards, an interception that came

1852
01:40:08,960 --> 01:40:11,200
Speaker 5: off of a deflection in the red zone. That game

1853
01:40:11,320 --> 01:40:13,799
Speaker 5: ended in a thirteen to thirteen tie between the Falcons

1854
01:40:13,840 --> 01:40:16,640
Speaker 5: and the Bengals. The Baltimore Ravens did sign defensive en

1855
01:40:16,960 --> 01:40:20,200
Speaker 5: Jajaevon Clowney to a one year contract and made the league.

1856
01:40:20,200 --> 01:40:22,639
Speaker 5: Baseball Friday night that Marlin snapped the Dodgers eleven game

1857
01:40:22,720 --> 01:40:25,160
Speaker 5: win streak with an eleven to three win in Los

1858
01:40:25,160 --> 01:40:28,320
Speaker 5: Angeles down the five Freeway. The Rays overcame a Shohalo

1859
01:40:28,400 --> 01:40:31,080
Speaker 5: tiny grand Slam to defeat the Angels in ten innings

1860
01:40:31,120 --> 01:40:33,559
Speaker 5: by the score of nine to six, raised two games

1861
01:40:33,560 --> 01:40:36,519
Speaker 5: behind Baltimore in the AL East. After Baltimore beat Oakland

1862
01:40:36,680 --> 01:40:39,560
Speaker 5: nine to four. Juglio Roriguez had four hits for the

1863
01:40:39,640 --> 01:40:42,639
Speaker 5: second consecutive game in a two to nothing Seattle victory

1864
01:40:42,680 --> 01:40:46,360
Speaker 5: over Houston. Twins defeated Pittsburgh, while Cleveland split a doubleheader

1865
01:40:46,400 --> 01:40:49,720
Speaker 5: against Detroit. So Minnesota has a five game lead in

1866
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:52,479
Speaker 5: the AL Central. Back to Bernie Fredo.

1867
01:40:52,720 --> 01:40:55,640
Speaker 2: All right, thanks a lot keving your job, buddy. I

1868
01:40:55,680 --> 01:40:59,400
Speaker 2: should have mentioned, by the way, heading into the thirty

1869
01:40:59,439 --> 01:41:02,519
Speaker 2: first minute, the score was zero, zero, nil nil in soccer,

1870
01:41:03,080 --> 01:41:05,679
Speaker 2: and lord beholds Sweden has just put one on the board.

1871
01:41:06,320 --> 01:41:08,519
Speaker 2: Put him on the board. Whippy yep, Sweden is up

1872
01:41:08,600 --> 01:41:12,400
Speaker 2: one nil on Australia for the third place game. And

1873
01:41:12,479 --> 01:41:14,439
Speaker 2: that is why we bring you every time of this week.

1874
01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:16,600
Speaker 2: Chris prophets world of soccer.

1875
01:41:17,760 --> 01:41:28,479
Speaker 7: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drum.

1876
01:41:30,360 --> 01:41:30,679
Speaker 9: Him.

1877
01:41:33,600 --> 01:41:37,000
Speaker 2: It's all here in this report from the world of soccer.

1878
01:41:39,360 --> 01:41:41,240
Speaker 9: Bernie, you know me, I like to hit on about

1879
01:41:41,240 --> 01:41:43,280
Speaker 9: two or three topics in the world of soccer. I'd

1880
01:41:43,360 --> 01:41:44,840
Speaker 9: like to say we're in the middle of Premier League

1881
01:41:44,880 --> 01:41:47,200
Speaker 9: previews here for the early season, but I think we

1882
01:41:47,280 --> 01:41:49,599
Speaker 9: have to put it aside right now. This week has

1883
01:41:49,680 --> 01:41:53,879
Speaker 9: seen an unprecedented conversation once again into the nature soccer

1884
01:41:54,080 --> 01:41:57,320
Speaker 9: in the United States. Lionel Messi, the Great One, who

1885
01:41:57,320 --> 01:42:01,280
Speaker 9: has been scoring nine goals in six games since arriving

1886
01:42:01,320 --> 01:42:03,920
Speaker 9: at Inner Miami and playing in the League's Cup for

1887
01:42:04,160 --> 01:42:07,200
Speaker 9: that club, has told media, of course, that he believes

1888
01:42:07,479 --> 01:42:11,360
Speaker 9: that MLS isn't really that far behind the European the

1889
01:42:11,479 --> 01:42:14,240
Speaker 9: mega leagues of the world, such as the Premier League,

1890
01:42:14,320 --> 01:42:18,080
Speaker 9: La Liga Siria, and no, that's not that far in

1891
01:42:18,200 --> 01:42:21,040
Speaker 9: the future. That has every opportunity to catch up with

1892
01:42:21,160 --> 01:42:25,240
Speaker 9: European football before the twenty twenty six World Cup comes

1893
01:42:25,280 --> 01:42:28,960
Speaker 9: to North America. Now, this is a story that the

1894
01:42:29,080 --> 01:42:31,840
Speaker 9: United States has heard before, that Americans have heard before,

1895
01:42:32,120 --> 01:42:34,920
Speaker 9: and some older people might be very skeptical about such.

1896
01:42:35,360 --> 01:42:40,080
Speaker 9: Soccer is, after all, seen as a foreign sport, a

1897
01:42:40,160 --> 01:42:43,519
Speaker 9: sport that has come to the shores several times before,

1898
01:42:43,880 --> 01:42:46,320
Speaker 9: knocked on the door several times before, and for one

1899
01:42:46,360 --> 01:42:49,320
Speaker 9: reason or another, just hasn't caught on that same way.

1900
01:42:49,640 --> 01:42:52,040
Speaker 9: But he has a point that it's not that far behind.

1901
01:42:52,840 --> 01:42:55,360
Speaker 9: MLS is a thirty year history, beginning in ninety three

1902
01:42:55,439 --> 01:42:57,400
Speaker 9: as part of the bid to bring the World Cup

1903
01:42:57,479 --> 01:43:01,760
Speaker 9: here in ninety four, which did happen. But it has

1904
01:43:02,040 --> 01:43:04,559
Speaker 9: always kind of grown in leaps and spurts, and nothing

1905
01:43:04,640 --> 01:43:08,160
Speaker 9: I think feels better to talk about with MLS than

1906
01:43:08,320 --> 01:43:12,559
Speaker 9: average attendance right now. In the league's twenty twenty two years,

1907
01:43:12,640 --> 01:43:17,920
Speaker 9: before Messi even was a factor, clubs were seeing an

1908
01:43:18,040 --> 01:43:22,519
Speaker 9: average of over twenty thousand fans in attendance. Three of

1909
01:43:22,560 --> 01:43:26,800
Speaker 9: those clubs, Atlanta, Charlotte and Seattle, averaged more than thirty

1910
01:43:26,920 --> 01:43:30,320
Speaker 9: thousand fans per match. Now, by comparison, the NBA just

1911
01:43:30,400 --> 01:43:33,240
Speaker 9: considered themselves to have a record year in attendance, averaging

1912
01:43:33,360 --> 01:43:34,519
Speaker 9: eighteen thousand.

1913
01:43:34,840 --> 01:43:36,120
Speaker 2: Now, granted those.

1914
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:38,519
Speaker 9: Are arenas, these are a little bit larger, but we're

1915
01:43:38,560 --> 01:43:41,840
Speaker 9: also not talking about NFL stadiums. And ultimately I look

1916
01:43:41,880 --> 01:43:44,320
Speaker 9: at the pure number rather than any kind of limitation,

1917
01:43:44,800 --> 01:43:47,320
Speaker 9: and there's been plenty of NBA arenas that haven't been

1918
01:43:47,360 --> 01:43:49,519
Speaker 9: able to fill up to capacity anyway here, So it

1919
01:43:49,640 --> 01:43:53,200
Speaker 9: keeps the NBA afloat above something like soccer. It's ultimately

1920
01:43:53,360 --> 01:43:57,000
Speaker 9: television ratings. It's ultimately that drives a lot of our

1921
01:43:57,040 --> 01:44:01,000
Speaker 9: cultural cachet when talking about the Nbaquite frankly, the MLS

1922
01:44:01,120 --> 01:44:03,720
Speaker 9: hasn't had them. This is ultimately a problem in that

1923
01:44:04,439 --> 01:44:08,719
Speaker 9: we are as a sports culture obsessed with television ratings.

1924
01:44:08,760 --> 01:44:12,400
Speaker 9: And yes, the NBA right now is a bigger television

1925
01:44:12,520 --> 01:44:16,680
Speaker 9: product than MLS. So is baseball, and so is the

1926
01:44:16,760 --> 01:44:20,320
Speaker 9: National Hockey League as well. However, we're also entering the

1927
01:44:20,400 --> 01:44:24,479
Speaker 9: streaming era where television ratings just don't matter. And MLS

1928
01:44:24,960 --> 01:44:27,640
Speaker 9: by and large has gone to the streaming era with

1929
01:44:27,800 --> 01:44:31,200
Speaker 9: their deal with Apple TV, issueing many of the over

1930
01:44:31,320 --> 01:44:34,560
Speaker 9: the air networks except for some regional sports coverage, but

1931
01:44:34,840 --> 01:44:36,960
Speaker 9: they are no longer on a lot of these places

1932
01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:39,760
Speaker 9: where they would get ratings. Now streaming numbers can be

1933
01:44:39,760 --> 01:44:43,519
Speaker 9: a little fugazy, but we know for fact that Apple

1934
01:44:43,560 --> 01:44:47,320
Speaker 9: TV's subscriber numbers have almost tripled since Leonel Messi has

1935
01:44:47,400 --> 01:44:51,040
Speaker 9: come here, since picking up the MLS package as part

1936
01:44:51,080 --> 01:44:52,800
Speaker 9: of one of the season passes you can get on

1937
01:44:52,880 --> 01:44:56,840
Speaker 9: Apple TV. It's an unequivocal good thing and people are

1938
01:44:56,920 --> 01:45:01,519
Speaker 9: coming to this platform, not a in endemic sports platform,

1939
01:45:01,600 --> 01:45:05,240
Speaker 9: but Apple TV to watch Major League Soccer. How do

1940
01:45:05,320 --> 01:45:07,360
Speaker 9: you sell people on a league like this. You give

1941
01:45:07,439 --> 01:45:10,360
Speaker 9: them stars, you give them compelling matchups, and you keep

1942
01:45:10,439 --> 01:45:13,000
Speaker 9: bringing more and more stars to the table. That's what

1943
01:45:13,200 --> 01:45:15,519
Speaker 9: MLS has been able to scratch by getting someone like

1944
01:45:15,640 --> 01:45:19,400
Speaker 9: Leonel Messi. And to be honest, that also then lies

1945
01:45:19,560 --> 01:45:22,120
Speaker 9: in part to the next part of this equation, which

1946
01:45:22,200 --> 01:45:25,719
Speaker 9: is can MLS be as good as the top leagues

1947
01:45:26,040 --> 01:45:30,720
Speaker 9: in UEFA in Europe? Because ultimately, Bernie, we as Americans

1948
01:45:31,080 --> 01:45:33,439
Speaker 9: like to know that our sport, the sport we watch,

1949
01:45:33,800 --> 01:45:36,800
Speaker 9: is the best in the world. We probably would not

1950
01:45:36,920 --> 01:45:42,720
Speaker 9: watch basketball if Liga ACB in Spain had better competition

1951
01:45:43,080 --> 01:45:46,479
Speaker 9: than the NBA. We would not watch Major League Baseball.

1952
01:45:46,920 --> 01:45:51,200
Speaker 9: If Japan on the regular signed all the best players

1953
01:45:51,320 --> 01:45:56,400
Speaker 9: in the world, be they American Japanese, Caribbean wherever. If

1954
01:45:56,439 --> 01:45:59,160
Speaker 9: that was the state of things instead of Major League

1955
01:45:59,200 --> 01:46:02,360
Speaker 9: Baseball here. We want to be number one. We want

1956
01:46:02,439 --> 01:46:05,280
Speaker 9: to be number one no matter what in our sports,

1957
01:46:05,400 --> 01:46:08,160
Speaker 9: and when we play the championship, it's to be the

1958
01:46:08,240 --> 01:46:11,720
Speaker 9: best in the world. That's the next hurdle MLS has

1959
01:46:11,840 --> 01:46:15,040
Speaker 9: to pass, because ultimately, that is what's going to draw

1960
01:46:15,040 --> 01:46:17,360
Speaker 9: a lot of the attention. That's what's going to make

1961
01:46:17,560 --> 01:46:21,599
Speaker 9: MLS a topic to talk about on sports talk radio,

1962
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:25,839
Speaker 9: over the Premier League, over La Liga, over other sports

1963
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:29,639
Speaker 9: in America. They're on a good foot right now having

1964
01:46:29,680 --> 01:46:31,920
Speaker 9: Lionel Messi, one of the greatest in the world here,

1965
01:46:32,280 --> 01:46:34,479
Speaker 9: but it needs to go further than that. And honestly,

1966
01:46:34,960 --> 01:46:36,800
Speaker 9: I have a few points for them if they want

1967
01:46:36,840 --> 01:46:40,519
Speaker 9: to keep growing and capturing hearts and mind. Number one,

1968
01:46:40,640 --> 01:46:43,200
Speaker 9: and the biggest one right now is MLS has to

1969
01:46:43,360 --> 01:46:47,280
Speaker 9: scrap their salary cap. I know it's very American, but

1970
01:46:47,760 --> 01:46:51,120
Speaker 9: in the globe it does no help for you. You

1971
01:46:51,240 --> 01:46:54,160
Speaker 9: want to get big stars like Lionel Messi, and having

1972
01:46:54,320 --> 01:46:57,800
Speaker 9: three designated players per team that don't count against the

1973
01:46:57,880 --> 01:47:00,840
Speaker 9: salary cap isn't going to be enough. You are just

1974
01:47:01,120 --> 01:47:02,960
Speaker 9: ultimately at the end of the day, because of the

1975
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:06,280
Speaker 9: cap going to get outspent on many of these guys

1976
01:47:06,560 --> 01:47:08,000
Speaker 9: in European clubs.

1977
01:47:07,840 --> 01:47:09,240
Speaker 2: That you should be bringing over.

1978
01:47:09,880 --> 01:47:11,800
Speaker 9: The last thing you should be thinking about is your

1979
01:47:11,920 --> 01:47:14,639
Speaker 9: salary cap when you want to try to bidg out

1980
01:47:14,880 --> 01:47:17,919
Speaker 9: Manchester United for the services of someone like Marcus Rashford

1981
01:47:18,439 --> 01:47:21,479
Speaker 9: or against Bayern Munich for someone like Harry Kane. Those

1982
01:47:21,520 --> 01:47:24,240
Speaker 9: are legitimate stars you could bring over, but you can't

1983
01:47:24,520 --> 01:47:27,800
Speaker 9: because you have tied your own hands on salaries. I

1984
01:47:27,960 --> 01:47:30,439
Speaker 9: understand that salary caps have long had a role in

1985
01:47:30,479 --> 01:47:34,320
Speaker 9: the United States sports to enforce fairness and parody. That

1986
01:47:34,520 --> 01:47:37,559
Speaker 9: is quite simply not a high priority in the modern

1987
01:47:37,640 --> 01:47:42,040
Speaker 9: landscape of soccer, where big spenders like Manchester City and

1988
01:47:42,200 --> 01:47:45,720
Speaker 9: Real Madrid exist. You are up against some deep, deep,

1989
01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:48,720
Speaker 9: deep pocket books. You know, who's not going to have

1990
01:47:48,800 --> 01:47:52,160
Speaker 9: their hands tied on salaries. The Saudi Super League, who

1991
01:47:52,240 --> 01:47:56,120
Speaker 9: has their own intentions of going global themselves, and right

1992
01:47:56,240 --> 01:47:59,040
Speaker 9: now MLS you're going to have to start thinking about

1993
01:47:59,040 --> 01:48:01,439
Speaker 9: a competition with because they're going to have the pocket

1994
01:48:01,560 --> 01:48:04,800
Speaker 9: books for that. That said, I largely agree with Lionel Messi.

1995
01:48:04,880 --> 01:48:07,240
Speaker 9: I don't know about twenty twenty six because that's not

1996
01:48:07,400 --> 01:48:10,639
Speaker 9: that far away now. But there's a few things MLS

1997
01:48:10,760 --> 01:48:14,240
Speaker 9: can do, and if they can really capitalize on Messimania,

1998
01:48:14,520 --> 01:48:17,240
Speaker 9: they can absolutely move themselves into being one of the

1999
01:48:17,320 --> 01:48:21,120
Speaker 9: more popular sports in this country and maybe just maybe

2000
01:48:21,520 --> 01:48:24,840
Speaker 9: not that far behind UEFA. We'll say nothing, of course

2001
01:48:24,920 --> 01:48:27,840
Speaker 9: that MLS probably also needs promotion relegation. We're out of

2002
01:48:27,920 --> 01:48:30,720
Speaker 9: time here, Bernie. We will see you next time on

2003
01:48:30,840 --> 01:48:31,599
Speaker 9: the World of Soccer.

2004
01:48:32,080 --> 01:48:35,360
Speaker 2: All right, good stuff, Chris and Messi mania is real.

2005
01:48:36,160 --> 01:48:37,920
Speaker 2: If you don't believe me, go try to get a

2006
01:48:37,960 --> 01:48:40,240
Speaker 2: ticket to one of his games. Remember this is the

2007
01:48:40,520 --> 01:48:45,600
Speaker 2: modern day Pele. No, that's not hyperbole. Messi was a

2008
01:48:45,720 --> 01:48:49,519
Speaker 2: legend in Argentina. He'd done everything but win the World Cup.

2009
01:48:50,120 --> 01:48:53,200
Speaker 2: So at thirty seven, thirty eight years old, he locks

2010
01:48:53,240 --> 01:48:55,560
Speaker 2: horns with him Bape and France plays the game of

2011
01:48:55,640 --> 01:48:59,360
Speaker 2: his life. Argentina wins the World Cup. Now he can

2012
01:49:00,160 --> 01:49:04,080
Speaker 2: right off into the sunset, having accomplished everything and checked

2013
01:49:04,080 --> 01:49:07,040
Speaker 2: every box. Brings his talents to the United States, where

2014
01:49:07,040 --> 01:49:09,080
Speaker 2: the game is beginning to grow. Goes to Inner Miami.

2015
01:49:09,160 --> 01:49:12,400
Speaker 2: He's an instant it and I will tell you there

2016
01:49:12,479 --> 01:49:14,240
Speaker 2: was rumors he was coming to Miami. We didn't know

2017
01:49:14,960 --> 01:49:18,439
Speaker 2: three or four clubs worldwide vying for him. This is

2018
01:49:18,479 --> 01:49:21,800
Speaker 2: a dude that's worth the price of admission. So we're

2019
01:49:21,880 --> 01:49:25,160
Speaker 2: talking about listen well, I don't care if it's Michael Jordan.

2020
01:49:25,200 --> 01:49:27,559
Speaker 2: I don't care if it's Babe Ruth. I don't care

2021
01:49:27,640 --> 01:49:31,640
Speaker 2: if it's Magic Johnson. What are just put in your

2022
01:49:31,680 --> 01:49:35,000
Speaker 2: own metaphor comparison? Messi is all of those times too,

2023
01:49:35,040 --> 01:49:38,439
Speaker 2: and he's an international star. I texted Chris earlier today.

2024
01:49:39,280 --> 01:49:41,560
Speaker 2: I was in a sandwich shop and I saw a

2025
01:49:41,640 --> 01:49:44,639
Speaker 2: couple of ten year old boys walk in with soccer

2026
01:49:44,760 --> 01:49:47,840
Speaker 2: jerseys and they both said Messi on the back. Yeah,

2027
01:49:47,920 --> 01:49:52,320
Speaker 2: Messi mania is real coming up. I told you I'll

2028
01:49:52,360 --> 01:49:55,120
Speaker 2: give you my final thoughts on Kevin Brown, the announcer

2029
01:49:55,360 --> 01:49:58,800
Speaker 2: with the Orioles, and I'm going to do that in

2030
01:49:59,000 --> 01:50:01,400
Speaker 2: just a second. I'm Bernie Frattle. We're coming to live

2031
01:50:01,439 --> 01:50:04,400
Speaker 2: from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio tyrack dot com studios.

2032
01:50:04,880 --> 01:50:07,559
Speaker 2: Don't go away, you're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show

2033
01:50:07,560 --> 01:50:11,080
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio. Hi right, wrapping it up on

2034
01:50:11,160 --> 01:50:14,559
Speaker 2: the Bernie Frattle Show Comedy Live from the Las Vegas

2035
01:50:14,640 --> 01:50:19,160
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Tyraq dot com studios. Before I go

2036
01:50:19,200 --> 01:50:22,240
Speaker 2: any further. I want to thank my broadcast team back

2037
01:50:22,280 --> 01:50:24,960
Speaker 2: on Los Angeles. They've been with me since eleven pm

2038
01:50:25,640 --> 01:50:31,560
Speaker 2: Pacific on Friday night. And of course Kevin Figures on

2039
01:50:31,640 --> 01:50:36,280
Speaker 2: the updates, Mark Ramsey, our technical producer, out standing job tonight, guys,

2040
01:50:36,320 --> 01:50:39,559
Speaker 2: and of course Ethan Miller guys keeping us glued together,

2041
01:50:39,760 --> 01:50:42,840
Speaker 2: turning all the dials in another arousing edition of of

2042
01:50:42,960 --> 01:50:47,960
Speaker 2: course the Trivia Show. And Saturday Night, we've got a

2043
01:50:48,000 --> 01:50:50,599
Speaker 2: lot of great stuff planned, including what kind of brand

2044
01:50:50,640 --> 01:50:55,240
Speaker 2: new fool of you? What my name? More NFL preseason stuff.

2045
01:50:55,600 --> 01:50:57,439
Speaker 2: We're going to dive into the Patriots a little bit.

2046
01:50:57,479 --> 01:51:00,280
Speaker 2: I'm tired of hearing Bill Belichick's on the high Sea.

2047
01:51:00,360 --> 01:51:03,959
Speaker 2: I'm just not buying it. And I hear Ezekey Elliott's

2048
01:51:04,000 --> 01:51:05,960
Speaker 2: doing well in practice, and I hear Bill O'Brien's doing

2049
01:51:06,000 --> 01:51:08,200
Speaker 2: well as a new offensive coordinator. It might not be

2050
01:51:08,280 --> 01:51:11,559
Speaker 2: that good. We'll bring in a guess that's covering the Patriots.

2051
01:51:11,600 --> 01:51:16,120
Speaker 2: And of course we've got Mark Medina Medina Magic at midnight,

2052
01:51:16,439 --> 01:51:22,120
Speaker 2: so we will see you soon. All right, So I'm

2053
01:51:22,160 --> 01:51:25,240
Speaker 2: sure you've heard by now. Back on July twenty third,

2054
01:51:25,400 --> 01:51:30,880
Speaker 2: the Baltimore Orioles suspended Kevin Brown, their TV play by

2055
01:51:30,960 --> 01:51:36,360
Speaker 2: play man, and to the great outrage of the world.

2056
01:51:37,400 --> 01:51:40,000
Speaker 2: Some of it real outrage, some of it fake outrage,

2057
01:51:40,080 --> 01:51:42,280
Speaker 2: all of it over the top outrage. Because I don't

2058
01:51:42,280 --> 01:51:43,840
Speaker 2: really know what the story is. I do, but I

2059
01:51:43,920 --> 01:51:46,600
Speaker 2: know I can speak to this, okay, because I was

2060
01:51:46,680 --> 01:51:49,720
Speaker 2: part of the Detroit Lions pre and post broadcast team

2061
01:51:49,760 --> 01:51:52,120
Speaker 2: for a long time and I saw it all Barry

2062
01:51:52,160 --> 01:51:54,360
Speaker 2: Sanders last year to the year they were rowing sixteen,

2063
01:51:54,880 --> 01:51:56,640
Speaker 2: got along great with the Lions, and we told the

2064
01:51:56,720 --> 01:51:59,240
Speaker 2: truth and it wasn't always pretty. We didn't personalize it,

2065
01:51:59,280 --> 01:52:02,439
Speaker 2: we didn't call any buddy names, we didn't do anything stupid.

2066
01:52:02,760 --> 01:52:06,800
Speaker 2: We just told the truth. I did UNLV pre and

2067
01:52:06,880 --> 01:52:12,360
Speaker 2: post basketball here on our ESPN affiliate Rebel Extra for years.

2068
01:52:12,560 --> 01:52:15,760
Speaker 2: It's some really rough years, disappointing years. We told the

2069
01:52:15,840 --> 01:52:19,240
Speaker 2: truth and we highlighted the good with the bad and

2070
01:52:19,360 --> 01:52:20,400
Speaker 2: provided content.

2071
01:52:20,720 --> 01:52:21,120
Speaker 4: So you do.

2072
01:52:21,200 --> 01:52:23,680
Speaker 2: You got to be a keen observer and if you

2073
01:52:23,800 --> 01:52:26,200
Speaker 2: do your job properly, there should be no issues. I

2074
01:52:26,240 --> 01:52:28,120
Speaker 2: don't know really what happened with the Kevin Brown deal,

2075
01:52:28,200 --> 01:52:31,000
Speaker 2: why really got suspended. No one's really reported it, Okay,

2076
01:52:31,160 --> 01:52:33,320
Speaker 2: they think they have, but they really haven't. You know,

2077
01:52:33,960 --> 01:52:36,720
Speaker 2: this is not new. I'm sure you've heard of the

2078
01:52:36,760 --> 01:52:39,200
Speaker 2: great chick Hearn. Chick Hearn was the Lakers play by

2079
01:52:39,240 --> 01:52:44,519
Speaker 2: play man, an absolute legend from nineteen sixty five all

2080
01:52:44,560 --> 01:52:46,680
Speaker 2: the way to I think two thousand and two might

2081
01:52:46,720 --> 01:52:48,880
Speaker 2: have been his last year. But we're talking thirty eight

2082
01:52:48,960 --> 01:52:52,160
Speaker 2: years along those lines, right, multiple championship teams, plenty of

2083
01:52:52,280 --> 01:52:55,679
Speaker 2: down years. What if I told you chick Hearn almost

2084
01:52:55,800 --> 01:52:59,320
Speaker 2: got fired his first thirty days into the job. Now

2085
01:52:59,439 --> 01:53:02,120
Speaker 2: this is long, long before Jerry Buss owned the team.

2086
01:53:02,200 --> 01:53:04,479
Speaker 2: Bus didn't buy the team till the summer of seventy nine.

2087
01:53:04,560 --> 01:53:08,400
Speaker 2: This is sixty five. Jack ken Cook, very eccentric rich

2088
01:53:08,520 --> 01:53:11,520
Speaker 2: man who also went on to own the Washington Redskins,

2089
01:53:12,320 --> 01:53:14,160
Speaker 2: owned the Lakers and the Kings in the forum and

2090
01:53:14,240 --> 01:53:17,240
Speaker 2: he called Chickering into his office and he said, chick,

2091
01:53:17,280 --> 01:53:18,960
Speaker 2: I want you to listen to these five minutes of

2092
01:53:19,080 --> 01:53:21,680
Speaker 2: play by play. He played a tape, turned it off,

2093
01:53:21,720 --> 01:53:25,439
Speaker 2: and he says, during those five minutes, you said fourteen

2094
01:53:25,600 --> 01:53:27,920
Speaker 2: bad things about my team and only two good things.

2095
01:53:28,520 --> 01:53:30,519
Speaker 2: How am I going to sell tickets and promo my

2096
01:53:30,640 --> 01:53:33,880
Speaker 2: team if you're doing that? He says, mister Cook, could

2097
01:53:33,880 --> 01:53:36,920
Speaker 2: you please play back the tape. He played back the tape.

2098
01:53:38,360 --> 01:53:42,000
Speaker 2: At the end, chick os, did you notice that we

2099
01:53:42,120 --> 01:53:46,639
Speaker 2: were We were outscored fourteen to two in a five

2100
01:53:46,680 --> 01:53:51,320
Speaker 2: minute run. And so do you want me to be credible?

2101
01:53:51,960 --> 01:53:55,040
Speaker 2: Do you want me to be observant? Or do you

2102
01:53:55,080 --> 01:53:57,519
Speaker 2: want me to lie? And jackkn Cook kind of stood

2103
01:53:57,600 --> 01:54:01,080
Speaker 2: back and said, okay, but you better watch yourself because

2104
01:54:01,920 --> 01:54:04,519
Speaker 2: I can't have you saying bad things about my team. Well,

2105
01:54:04,880 --> 01:54:07,720
Speaker 2: chick her and lasted thirty seven years, okay, And Jack

2106
01:54:07,800 --> 01:54:12,599
Speaker 2: Cook wasn't the easiest guy in the world. But when

2107
01:54:12,640 --> 01:54:14,519
Speaker 2: I was in college, I asked for and got a

2108
01:54:14,640 --> 01:54:17,000
Speaker 2: chance to interview him and we walked downstairs. He was

2109
01:54:17,040 --> 01:54:18,559
Speaker 2: you want a candy bar? We went to the wind

2110
01:54:18,880 --> 01:54:20,840
Speaker 2: This is a long time ago. This is before candy

2111
01:54:20,880 --> 01:54:22,920
Speaker 2: bar machines were electronic. You put in a quarter and

2112
01:54:23,000 --> 01:54:25,400
Speaker 2: you pull the lever. And he pulled the lever and

2113
01:54:25,479 --> 01:54:28,560
Speaker 2: two candy bars fell out, and he looked at me.

2114
01:54:28,600 --> 01:54:31,200
Speaker 2: He said, son, that's the story of my life. So

2115
01:54:31,800 --> 01:54:33,920
Speaker 2: people who own these teams, they get to be the king,

2116
01:54:34,040 --> 01:54:36,000
Speaker 2: you know, like Melbrooks said in the History of the World,

2117
01:54:36,160 --> 01:54:39,440
Speaker 2: it's good to be the King. What's interesting is the

2118
01:54:39,560 --> 01:54:43,600
Speaker 2: Kevin Brown situation was the story in and of itself

2119
01:54:43,840 --> 01:54:47,240
Speaker 2: with whatever, and then he of course issued the statement

2120
01:54:47,320 --> 01:54:49,840
Speaker 2: that recent media reports have been mischaracterized. He said he

2121
01:54:49,840 --> 01:54:51,280
Speaker 2: had a great relationship with the team. I have a

2122
01:54:52,000 --> 01:54:54,720
Speaker 2: wonderful relationship with the organization. The front office has fully

2123
01:54:54,760 --> 01:54:58,040
Speaker 2: supported me. Blah blah blah blah. People lost their freaking mind,

2124
01:54:59,040 --> 01:55:01,280
Speaker 2: and hew Yorica gentleman named Bobbery Heisman wrote out of

2125
01:55:01,320 --> 01:55:03,880
Speaker 2: the ash, he's his stupidity. A hero was born. Now

2126
01:55:03,960 --> 01:55:05,840
Speaker 2: Brown transcends the game down the road. He'll be the

2127
01:55:05,880 --> 01:55:09,320
Speaker 2: first candidate mentioned and any baseball broadcast opening. But he

2128
01:55:09,360 --> 01:55:11,800
Speaker 2: had to grovel to come back on air. Grind Glass Peagle,

2129
01:55:12,160 --> 01:55:14,920
Speaker 2: hardly clearing up any of the perceptions that Angelos is

2130
01:55:14,960 --> 01:55:19,040
Speaker 2: paranoid and overbearing. This doesn't reflect greatly on Brown. Frankly,

2131
01:55:19,080 --> 01:55:21,160
Speaker 2: didn't do anything wrong deserve to be taken off the air.

2132
01:55:21,880 --> 01:55:24,720
Speaker 2: I don't know, I know, you know he posted their

2133
01:55:24,960 --> 01:55:27,320
Speaker 2: lack of success against the Tampa Bay Rays. There's just

2134
01:55:27,400 --> 01:55:28,760
Speaker 2: got to be more than the story of that. And

2135
01:55:28,840 --> 01:55:30,880
Speaker 2: I don't care. I don't care what the story is.

2136
01:55:31,200 --> 01:55:34,640
Speaker 2: It's an employee employer relationship. He's back. Nothing to see here,

2137
01:55:34,760 --> 01:55:38,080
Speaker 2: Move along. A gentleman named Andrew marshawn I believe he

2138
01:55:38,160 --> 01:55:40,600
Speaker 2: writes for the New York Times. I don't know, very

2139
01:55:40,640 --> 01:55:43,720
Speaker 2: respected writer. He wrote that brown Court has to leave

2140
01:55:43,760 --> 01:55:45,280
Speaker 2: the Oriols as soon as he can. He's a young

2141
01:55:45,320 --> 01:55:48,440
Speaker 2: guy with responsibilities. But you can't stay there if you

2142
01:55:48,480 --> 01:55:51,480
Speaker 2: have other opportunities. In baseball, the reality is teams, play

2143
01:55:51,520 --> 01:55:53,520
Speaker 2: by players, the owner's front office. They got too much

2144
01:55:53,560 --> 01:55:55,400
Speaker 2: power over you. You get on the wrong side, you

2145
01:55:55,480 --> 01:55:59,000
Speaker 2: have career consequences. Angelo's put Braun on a terrible spot,

2146
01:56:00,200 --> 01:56:02,560
Speaker 2: likely the only option in the situation. But if he

2147
01:56:02,560 --> 01:56:04,160
Speaker 2: wants to further his career, he needs to move as

2148
01:56:04,200 --> 01:56:06,720
Speaker 2: far away from Angelis as fast as he can. Yeah,

2149
01:56:06,760 --> 01:56:09,240
Speaker 2: he'll show him. What if he likes his job? What

2150
01:56:09,320 --> 01:56:11,840
Speaker 2: if he likes living in Baltimore? What if of over

2151
01:56:11,880 --> 01:56:14,040
Speaker 2: those four and a half years, everything's been pristine except

2152
01:56:14,080 --> 01:56:16,520
Speaker 2: for that one moment that happened to play out in

2153
01:56:16,600 --> 01:56:19,520
Speaker 2: front of the Peanut Gallery. There's no shortage of opinions,

2154
01:56:19,560 --> 01:56:24,360
Speaker 2: most of them, I'm guessing, truly uninformed. Remember the chick

2155
01:56:24,440 --> 01:56:28,200
Speaker 2: current story. That can happen anybody. I have personal experience

2156
01:56:28,280 --> 01:56:31,400
Speaker 2: covering the Lions for ten years. You gotta be careful,

2157
01:56:31,800 --> 01:56:33,760
Speaker 2: but you got to tell the truth. I don't know

2158
01:56:33,800 --> 01:56:36,880
Speaker 2: what happened there, but it leaves me with only one conclusion.

2159
01:56:37,600 --> 01:56:40,520
Speaker 2: If Kevin Brown isn't too upset about it, tell me

2160
01:56:41,120 --> 01:56:45,680
Speaker 2: why are you? You know who you are? That's gonna

2161
01:56:45,720 --> 01:56:47,760
Speaker 2: do it for the Bernie Frattle Show. As I said,

2162
01:56:47,800 --> 01:56:51,040
Speaker 2: I will be back on these airwaves Saturday night at

2163
01:56:51,080 --> 01:56:55,560
Speaker 2: eleven PM with plenty of hijinks. Until then, keep it

2164
01:56:55,640 --> 01:56:58,960
Speaker 2: locked up. Next the Great Anthony K. Gargano from Fox

2165
01:56:58,960 --> 01:56:59,640
