Yeah, it was a 21 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: nice ninety degrees with one hundred percent humidity. I did 22 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: partake in some of the great foods of Chicago. I 23 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: found a good barbecue joint, actually a chain, which we 24 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 1: took a shot on it and it paid off very well. 25 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 3: St. 26 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: Louis in Saint Louis. So more on the gastronomy as 27 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: we go on, but a little bit of. 28 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 3: Tourism some of them to realize it was that's happened 29 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 3: to me before, where I found a spot. I'm in, 30 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 3: like there's some good stuff because you're not familiar with 31 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 3: the area, and then you go into like the next 32 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 3: neighborhood and you're like, oh wait, there's another one. Oh 33 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,199 Speaker 3: and there's another one of those. There's another one of those. 34 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: But we'd had a number of recommendations. Greetings and welcome in. 35 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: It's Mike carbon Dan Byer with you. For those uninitiated, 36 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: for those finding us for the first time, thanks for 37 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: being part of the extended family this morning. However you're 38 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: listening the iHeartRadio app one of our four hundred plus 39 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: affiliates nationwide. Thanks to the program directors and for all 40 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: of you for clamoring for more of what we do 41 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: here at Fox Sports Radio twenty four to seven. But 42 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: we had several recommendations and then we started getting reviews 43 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: from the other families as to what was going on, 44 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: and we ended up going to a place and get this, 45 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: it was good enough to where when we were looking 46 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: around thinking about the next night, it was like we'd 47 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: go back and we found but we found a location, right, 48 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: So we went to one of the outlier places, you know, 49 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 1: in one of the towns, and then we were downtown 50 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: for the final night we were there. We missed a 51 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: big Morgan I don't know Morgan Walland's music. I know 52 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: he's kind of a big deal. I don't know Doug Gottlieb. 53 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: I saw a picture he was down in San Diego, 54 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: I guess, and went and saw him, but he was 55 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: at Bush Stadium. We missed that somehow that didn't show 56 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: up at our events to go to, maybe because it 57 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: was sold out. But we're downtown and we're wandering around 58 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: Bush Stadium and I ranted about this the other day 59 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: and I made Arnie Spaniard's head blow up. But they 60 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: have the on the steps around Bush Stadium. They have 61 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: the words, you know, to take me out to the 62 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: ball game, and they pluralize crackerjack. 63 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 3: It's not cracker jacks, cracker jack, but it's peanuts. But 64 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 3: it's cracker Jack. 65 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: It's jack, but on those stairs someone took the time 66 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: and carved in an S. So it's part of these 67 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: I really lost my respect for this great baseball town 68 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: in that moment. That's right, say Louis. But anyway, there 69 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: was another location of this chain and we're like, oh, 70 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: we go there, and then we turned the corner and 71 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: it is out the door, crowded and it was a 72 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: big location. Absolutely jammed back with me. I guess we're 73 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: eating somewhere else tonight, man. So there you go. 74 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 3: That has happened. That has happened to me before where 75 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 3: I've been in a place in a in a new 76 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 3: city and it's first usually first night because you're going 77 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 3: out to eat a bunch, whether it be for work 78 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 3: or leisure. The meal was so good, you know, like 79 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 3: I'm I'm going back. I'm not even gonna This happened 80 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 3: actually in New York City once in covering an event 81 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 3: and my wife we went out and we had a 82 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 3: great first meal. And you don't want to tell your 83 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 3: I didn't want to say we weren't married at the time, 84 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 3: but I didn't want to be like, I really kind 85 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 3: of want to go back to that that place, sure, 86 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 3: and she was kind of the same way where she 87 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 3: didn't want to. You're in New York, there's you know, 88 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 3: how many restaurants could you go to? Do you really 89 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 3: want to go to the same one again? Because what 90 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 3: you had was so good the night before? And then 91 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 3: it just got to the point I'm like, you know, 92 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 3: I could, I could actually go to that other place again, 93 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 3: and then yeah, all right, let's do it. And you're 94 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 3: there like four times. 95 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: Well, but you've you've placed a bet on that, right, 96 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: You're in an unfamiliar spot and you found something that worked. 97 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 3: Yes, why press your luck exactly? Why press your luck? Man? 98 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: I got something that works. Even if even if I 99 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: go off on the menu somewhere else, I know that 100 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: first thing was good. So they've earned a little bit 101 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: of my trust and maybe I double down on what 102 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: they're cooking. All right, it's no time to be afraid. 103 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: I put the quote up because that is Alcarez as 104 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: he gets ready to take on Jokovic in the Wimbledon final, 105 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: which is coming up here live. And the way they 106 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: shot this, Dan, I know you're not a big WWE 107 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: guy at all, you were back in the day, but 108 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: it looked like they were gonna announce imperium coming out 109 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: Gunter and lukevind Kaiser. It was like they were gonna 110 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: do the big thing. Samantha Irvin was gonna get to 111 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: do her big presentation, and then they went to commercial 112 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: Like no, I was a good shot. I like that. 113 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: But it is the pomp and circumstance, the pageantry, and 114 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: it really makes you know that you were in the 115 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: middle of summer when we get to the Wimbledon final. 116 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 3: Yes, and this is a classic Wimbledon final. And let's 117 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 3: be honest, sometimes you don't get the classics. Just don't 118 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 3: you happened to maybe, and no disrespect to the ladies singles. Sure, 119 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 3: sometimes an unseated person maybe makes their way. You don't 120 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 3: have one versus two. But you also now with Roger 121 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,559 Speaker 3: Federer being retired, no Rafael Nadal this season next season 122 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,679 Speaker 3: likely being his last, Like you're seeing a you're seeing 123 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 3: a mending of eras here and it truly is a 124 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 3: It is a handshake of Djokovic with his twenty three 125 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 3: Grand slams, and Carlos al Karez, who I think some 126 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 3: believe could end up challenging the likes of Federer, Nadal 127 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 3: and Djokovic for Grand Slam titles. I know we're a 128 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 3: way off for a guy who only has one, but 129 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 3: let's be honest. He is the future of tennis right now. 130 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 3: And you've got this matchup, Mike, that is one versus two. 131 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 3: It is held. We're just looking at alcarazz He's dropped 132 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 3: two sets so far in this woman. 133 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: Who's twenty years old. Right, that's the thing. You know, 134 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: we do that with the old guys, Let's do it 135 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: with the young guys. Two right, fresh face, but no 136 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: moment seems you big, right, smiling. I watched a bit 137 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: of exchange from from their last meeting and kind of 138 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: like the ah touchet and looking back at each other, 139 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: like the respect that he earned from Yokovic very early 140 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: in the match. You know, plays through of all right, 141 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: you belong and you feel your belong. And that's the 142 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: quote I read was part of an interview he did 143 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: with the BBC, going, look, I've been aggressive, this is 144 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: my style and it's my chance to go take this right. 145 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: We talk about the women's side, Marquetta von Josova unseated 146 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: and rises through. Those are great stories, but when you've 147 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: got the history and the guy that could be next. 148 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: Not to say that she won't be on the women's side, 149 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: because right now we're trying to fill that Williams vacuum 150 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: like we didn't golf all those years. Right it's the hey, 151 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: what happens after tiger dot dot dot And for some 152 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: that just want to recycle commentary that that is always 153 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: the go to, But on the tennis side, certainly for 154 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: the women's side, that's it hundred percent right where you're 155 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: trying to find that next draw, that next name. Here, 156 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: we've got a twenty three time champ, like you said, 157 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: and then you've got maybe the wonder kid. See I 158 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: get the little ted lasso while I'm mixed in there 159 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: as well. 160 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 3: The Williams sisters and again Venus competed in this Wimbledon. 161 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 3: Serena we believe she's retired, although she didn't want to 162 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 3: use that retire retired name, it tells you just in 163 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 3: bringing up Serena and Venus and specifically Serena because of 164 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 3: her greatness, there actually is a a is a bigger 165 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 3: hole probably in women's tennis with the absence of Serena. 166 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 3: I mean, Serena was carrying that sport on her shoulders 167 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 3: while the man had Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, you know, 168 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 3: kind of equally carrying it. But now you go to 169 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 3: the to the women's side, and there's there's not a 170 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 3: lot of stories to latch onto. Al KaAZ is a 171 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 3: story that that is a story you're gonna follow for 172 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 3: the next next fifteen years and into For Djokovic's sake, 173 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 3: I think most people might believe that he probably is 174 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 3: the greatest player of all time. Here's another here's another 175 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 3: opportunity for him to add to this, to maybe delay 176 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 3: the arrival of Alcoraz even more, to add another one. Well, 177 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 3: I beat him in the twenty twenty three Wimbledon final, 178 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 3: because in fifteen to twenty years from now, who knows 179 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 3: what the conversation is going to be and total and 180 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 3: just in having like all right, and this is this 181 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 3: is not trying to fast track Colors Alcoraz to the 182 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 3: top of the game. But these are some of the 183 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,359 Speaker 3: expectations that you that he has. And so if Djokovic 184 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 3: is like, all right, I beat hey, I beat him 185 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three at Wimbledon. I beat him here 186 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,839 Speaker 3: and I bet you know in this spot, then that 187 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 3: strengthens Djokovic's argument fifteen years from now and maybe being 188 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 3: the greatest player of all. 189 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: I always want to make sure you've got those head 190 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: to heads, even if George the end it starts to 191 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: go the other way, right, the Emperor Palpatine standoff kind 192 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: of thing in the start.

Here Fox Sports Radio Comedy Live from the 236 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: tire Rack dot Com Studios Mike Carmen alongside my tag 237 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: team partner Dan Byer. You hear him as part of 238 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: the Doug Gottlieb Show, Gavino and Rich and he and 239 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: I do the I Watch a Flex podcast. Fantasy Football 240 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: coming back in rapid fire. With all the talk of 241 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: running backs as well, it makes for some fun debates 242 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: in that regard who's showing up for work, Who's gonna say, hey, 243 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: my ankle hurts. Once they do report, all of those 244 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,839 Speaker 1: things start to float, all right, Because if the Raiders 245 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: are terrible, it's Josh Jacob's gonna put himself out there 246 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: for four hundred touches. 247 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 3: I don't think he is the Saquon Barkley's situation as well, 248 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 3: it's just so intriguing because of a Giants team that 249 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 3: you felt made huge strides, you now have an investment 250 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 3: into Daniel Jones. But not only is Barkley not getting 251 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 3: his long term deal, he's not even signed his franchise tender, 252 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 3: so he doesn't have to show up if he doesn't 253 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 3: want to show up. No, he's obviously not going to 254 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 3: get paid, but he wouldn't get fined if he doesn't 255 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 3: show up. And if he doesn't get that deal, bye tomorrow. 256 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 3: I think he's going to, Like, I think, when push 257 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 3: comes to shove Mike, it's more important for the Giants 258 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 3: to lock Saquon Barkley in, And I think he's going 259 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 3: to get that deal. I also think a lot of 260 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,959 Speaker 3: the conversation that you've had over these last couple of 261 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 3: days is complete, complete leakage from camps trying to position 262 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 3: their clients and or their side of the story in 263 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 3: the best way. We heard Diana Rassini a little less 264 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 3: than a week ago saying that week one is in jeopardy, 265 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 3: Like really, okay, if heak one is in jeopardy, why wouldn't. 266 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: Week two be right right? Why wouldn't week three also 267 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 1: seven weeks before anybody's got to do anything? 268 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 3: Yes, exactly. Yeah, So if Barkley doesn't get his long 269 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 3: term deal, and then he has to play this season 270 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 3: under the franchise tag. Why then would you if you're 271 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 3: not going to play week one, why would you play 272 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 3: week two? Why would you you know, show up week 273 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 3: six unless you needed the checks for you know, because 274 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 3: you want I mean, it. 275 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: Is a half a million dollars a game. Yeah, and 276 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: then that's where the rubber meets the road. We'll get 277 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: to baseball in a moment. Let's stay here, you know, 278 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: because you've had running back after running back. We'll do 279 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: Austin Eckler as a separate discussion point, but he made 280 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: the point all of these guys are is you know 281 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: we're underpaid. Well, the position has changed, the game has 282 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: changed your usage. Not for Barkley and for several running 283 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: backs that are still belcous Jacob's last year with what 284 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: he did for Las Vegas. But the reality is is 285 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: you guys agreed to these franchise tag as part of 286 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: your CBA. Don't have to like them. And where the 287 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: negotiations have gone and where those dollars set up? I 288 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: get it. There's a hey, we agree to the structure, 289 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: but not where the dollars are. Well, the two go 290 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: hand in hand, and unfortunately you can't control every bit 291 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: of the narrative. So if teams decide, hey, we've got 292 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: running back one, we've got running back two, we've got 293 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: running back three, that are all part of a mix 294 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: which we've seen utilized successfully by most of the franchises 295 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: that have been contenders. Not all, but a lot of 296 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: the best contenders have been the all right, what's the 297 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: next man up? All right? Look at Kansas City Clyde 298 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: Edwards Hilaire, much to our chagrin, in the Fantasy round, 299 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: the guy who got us time and time again. All right, 300 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: at some point you determine he's not the guy. So 301 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: there's seventh round pick Isaiah Checho had himself a fantastic season, 302 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: and you proved you can win. Look as long as 303 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: fifteen's up, upright and mobile, you gotta chance. Right with 304 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: the Giants, we looked at and we stipulate to Saquon Barkley. 305 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: Do people love Daniel Jones? No, but the quarterback gets paid? Correct, Well, 306 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: I like it or not, that's just and maybe that 307 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: that's a whole other thing you'd love to turn on 308 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: your head. And for years we've been waiting for that 309 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: shoe to drop, saying, well, that guy doesn't quote deserve 310 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: the money. It's like, no, no, no, That's the most 311 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: important position in this game, hands down. We've watched team 312 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: after team go back to the Denver Broncos all those 313 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: years ago, put in a good blocking scheme. Here's Landi's Gary, 314 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: here's Mike Anderson, here's next man up. And it takes 315 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,119 Speaker 1: nothing away from what Terrell Davis was able to accomplish. 316 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: But they were able to replicate some of the numbers, 317 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: maybe not the same impact. Right, you can argue those 318 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: two things are very different. But to go find someone 319 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: who functional is there. Saquon Barkle is a different guy, 320 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: and we all can agree to that. But the finances 321 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: of the National Football League don't change for one guy, 322 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,360 Speaker 1: correct or the last five bell Cows that are still there. 323 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: It's just not the way it works. It is and 324 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: it is. 325 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 3: It's such a unique position, and I look at it 326 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 3: like when Austin Eckler is making comments about the running 327 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 3: back position. It's different to me, Mike, than Saquon Barkley 328 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 3: or Josh Jacobs talking about it. Because Austin Eckler, in 329 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 3: my mind, early in his career, benefited from how we 330 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 3: look at the running back position. The biggest thing for 331 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 3: me when you're looking at running backs in the National 332 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 3: Football League is not who deserves to be paid, is 333 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 3: how easily replaceable we think that they can be, or 334 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 3: how you can take a guy who was a sixth 335 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 3: round pick or a seventh round pick like Pacheco, or 336 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 3: an undrafted free agent like Austin Eckler and put them 337 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 3: into the spot and have success. Like That's that's the 338 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 3: point to me where I there's there's no way You're 339 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, out of the blue and I'm 340 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 3: going to pay a running back twenty million dollars a year. 341 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 3: It's just not going to happen. But it's also the 342 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 3: fact of you just it's an easily replaceable position that 343 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 3: makes it so, you know, difficult for them. So if 344 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 3: you're Austin Eckler, you could complain, but you also have 345 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 3: to realize that you have benefited from what is happening 346 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 3: to the running back position. 347 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. The hardest part to it, right, and it goes 348 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: back to when you had tight end saying, look, I'm 349 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: a wide receiver, I block a bit. Some of the 350 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: guys you can argue more or less pretend to block 351 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: they'll have the pass catching tight end and occasionally there's 352 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: that second guy that comes into the package and he's 353 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: along the line and does more of that. But that 354 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 1: was the argument a couple of years ago of like, no, no, 355 00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: I want to be reclassified, Like, no, you're a tight end, 356 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 1: same thing I think running backs and Austin Eckler's the 357 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: guy with both things right, proving the point of you 358 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: can replace and come from out of nowhere to become 359 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: a leader. But he's also catching a hundred balls year, 360 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: so you say, well, I'm the leading receiver for this team. 361 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: So it kind of gets into that argument, and that's 362 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: why he started getting the wide receivers mixed in say like, well, 363 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: my numbers receiving are better than these dudes. 364 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 3: It's like it's. 365 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: Unfortunately the game you play, is it right? Would you 366 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: like to see it all turn on? Sure? You can 367 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: crusade for that. You want to hold out, hold out, 368 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: You're not going to change anything. Someone else is just 369 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 1: going to take the ball and carry it two hundred 370 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: times and get the same opportunity that you did. 371 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly right. 372 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: You know. 373 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 3: In Barkley's case, and what seems to be the hang 374 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 3: up is the guaranteed money. Charles Robinson did a good 375 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 3: dive into what's happening with the Barkley and Jacob situation 376 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 3: on Yahoo's Sports, and essentially what Barkley is asking for 377 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 3: right now is you're guessing what the salary cap would 378 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 3: be in twenty twenty four, and so you're guessing what 379 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 3: the franchise you know price would be for a double franchise, 380 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 3: you know, for the second straight year. And Barkley's sticking 381 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,959 Speaker 3: point and his agent is saying, we want the guaranteed 382 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 3: money of what it would cost to play undo the 383 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 3: franchise tag in twenty twenty three, and the guaranteed money 384 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 3: of what it would cost in twenty twenty four. It 385 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 3: seems the Giants are thinking that maybe the franchise tag 386 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 3: is not going to be as much as Barkley and 387 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 3: his representatives believe that it could be, so they are 388 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 3: offering less than that. But Robinson basically said, this is 389 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 3: the starting out point for any running back that wants 390 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 3: a long term deal in terms of the guarantees that 391 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 3: you're going to want at least be guaranteed the money 392 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 3: that you would have made in this season and next 393 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 3: season if you were to play under the franchise tag 394 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 3: before you agree to any long term deal. 395 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, looking at overthecap dot com, I love getting in 396 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,479 Speaker 1: the weeds of these. They run the algorithms, they look 397 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: at where the numbers are, and so this year it 398 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: was ten point zero, about ten point one million dollars 399 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: right for next year it's projected to be thirteen point one. 400 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: So you're trying to get your twenty three as a 401 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: starting point. And we've heard some things bandied about of hey, 402 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: three thirty nine and whatever. These numbers are out in 403 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,239 Speaker 1: the air and it's everybody just trying to figure out 404 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: where where this is going to land. I know Bjhon 405 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: Robinson's got a deal that's gonna pay him well, so 406 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: I think veterans are looking at that that get them 407 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 1: a bit flustered as they go forward. But the shelf 408 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: life time and again we just watch and sikuon Barkley 409 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: is a guy who's interesting as well, right because he's 410 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,239 Speaker 1: drafted number two overall, you see the value that he has, 411 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: but he does have the injury in the past, right 412 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 1: that informs a lot like how much guaranteed money I 413 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: want to give you and how many years whether people 414 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: like it or not, and he's an absolute beast when 415 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: he's on the field. We do this in the NBA 416 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: all the time. We love Anthony Davis when he's on 417 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: the court. We love Zion Williamson. His numbers is athleticism 418 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: for the rare times that he is on the court. Right, 419 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: same thing with running backs, Like, all right, I got him, 420 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: and I could game plan until I'm blue in the face. 421 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: But we've seen so many issues with running backs through 422 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: the years that eventually that cliff comes or a regression 423 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: or the injury history casts back. Now can you bank 424 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: on that every game? No, right, because it's unfair to say, hey, 425 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: just because it's happened, it will. But it's part and 426 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 1: informs the decision making, especially at that position when you're 427 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: logging three hundred and fifty to four hundred touches a. 428 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 3: Year and he's coming off a season where he was 429 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 3: great and so vital. But it is also when you 430 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 3: come back to the to the issue, Mike, I actually 431 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 3: think it allows the giants at Barkley in this case 432 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 3: to get something done because it's even if you if 433 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 3: you overpay for it, and let's say Barkley does get hurt, 434 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 3: that stinks. That that's tough for the Giants, stuff for 435 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,120 Speaker 3: the Giants fans, tough for Saquon Barkley. It's not going 436 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 3: to completely cripple your franchise. You know, there's a way 437 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 3: that you can get out from under it. And so 438 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 3: that's why I think that at some point Barkley would 439 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 3: get will get a deal done. Josh Jacobs, I have 440 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 3: no clue because they really don't know how the Raiders 441 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 3: value him. We thought he was on his way out 442 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 3: in training camp. There was no pickup of the fifth 443 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 3: year option from this regime on his contract, so I 444 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 3: don't know how he fits in. Plus, I don't know 445 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 3: where necessarily the Raiders are headed change at quarterback. How 446 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 3: are things gonna play out there? Yeah, I think there 447 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 3: are two different scenarios. I expect Barkley to get his, 448 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 3: But if I were to guess on Josh Jacobs, I 449 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 3: would say it probably doesn't get that long term deal. Yeah. 450 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: With Barkley, whatever we define his long term right, I 451 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: mean I've looked at it. It's probably three years, Yeah, 452 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,239 Speaker 1: would be a long term deal. And then hey, if 453 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: you play through that and you're still healthy and playing well, 454 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: then we move on and we reconsider Jacobs is the 455 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: interesting one. You bring up the fifth year option, and 456 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 1: it's something that we brought up quite a bit on 457 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: the Fantasy Podcast last year, was well, they're going to 458 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: use him until they can't use him anymore. And you 459 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: saw the numbers there where they get into a difficult spot. 460 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 1: Is what does that translate to in terms of wins? Right, 461 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 1: because it's got to have an endgame and you're looking 462 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 1: at this season for the Raiders. How many teams? I mean, look, 463 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 1: you got DeVante Adams. I don't take anything away from 464 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: the man's ability and aptitude to make plays. Jimmy Garoppolo, 465 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: is he gonna be healthy? Ain O'Connell, You've talked about 466 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: him a bunch here on the show already. But the 467 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: idea being as we go into training camps, how many 468 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: teams are below them? Would you say in the National 469 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: Football League. 470 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 3: Going off of a six and eleven season, Yeah, handful, 471 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 3: I mean just of right, Yeah, faster. 472 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: To the to the end of the Derek Carr tenure. 473 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: And he's been very vocal about everything going on there 474 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 1: and whatever. But we look at this roster, a right 475 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: good defensive line, you got some pieces, But does it 476 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: translate to wins, and are you going to go long 477 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: term on a running back as you're potentially resetting everything? 478 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, doesn't make sense, right, It makes no. 479 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: Sense to really hunker down and say, all right, here's 480 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: fifty million dollars or here's forty five million dollars. And again, 481 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: it's all once we start getting into larger contracts. I 482 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: get it based on what the quarterbacks are getting. You say, well, 483 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 1: it's only a fraction, like, well, the way the NFL 484 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: plays these days, you can replace fairly, fairly easily replace 485 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 1: those numbers. Again, take nothing away from Josh Jacob's talent, 486 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: but we've just seen it time and time again. And 487 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: whether it's Caleb Williams or Aidan O'Connell's the guy and 488 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,959 Speaker 1: you decide to give him a run or whatever happens, 489 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: you're going to invest in the receivers alongside Devanta Adams 490 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: if he hasn't already tried to force his way out 491 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,199 Speaker 1: of town if things go south this year. 492 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, and even Mike and even the teams that you 493 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 3: that you normally would say would be worse than the 494 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 3: Raiders are, you'd have to think that Houston's going to 495 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 3: be better. There seems to be a lot of positivity 496 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 3: coming out early in Demico Ryans' first season. Now, there 497 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 3: could be a waste to go, but there seems to 498 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 3: at least be some positivity there. Cardinals we feel are 499 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 3: on their way down, but I feel the Broncos should 500 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 3: be better than the Raiders in that division. I think 501 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 3: that you'll see a lot of people putting the Raiders 502 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 3: forth in that division. So, yes, it's your point. You know, 503 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 3: there's there's only a few teams that really and if 504 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 3: you're talking about the direction that you're headed, I would 505 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 3: say that that arrow is probably pointed down more so 506 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 3: than it is pointed up. 507 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: Right. More optimism in Carolina more and a division that's 508 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 1: a little weird, right. Baker Mayfield probably gonna be the 509 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: guy in Tampa. We have no idea what New Orleans 510 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 1: is with Derek Carr. You've got some talent. We don't 511 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: know what ye with yet, but their roster is pretty good. Yeah, 512 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: assuming Michael Thomas is on the field and ready to go, 513 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 1: alongside a lot defensive solid as they are always uh. 514 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: And then Atlanta some positivity that run game is going 515 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 1: to be good, right, and then we talk about what 516 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: you already had and then you go over the top 517 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: and add that to what what you have with Desmond 518 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: Ritter saw a little bit last year, maybe maybe there's 519 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: something there, and they still went seven to ten. So 520 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're the Raiders, it's going to be 521 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 1: a rough year. So you're you're playing for the long 522 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: haul as well. 523 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, a very very good point. I put the Rams 524 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 3: and Cardinals I think are in that group that's below them. 525 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, Rams are really interesting. 526 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 3: Yeah they are right. 527 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: I'm glad. I'm glad Sean McVay was, you know, allowed 528 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 1: us to talk him out of retirement though, because he 529 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: would have looked he would have looked pretty soft if 530 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 1: I'm glad. 531 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm glad that he stuck around. 532 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,239 Speaker 1: I think for his legacy, big deal, like you run 533 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 1: away from adversity. Things turned on me. I'm gonna retire 534 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: and congratulations. I mean he's got a kid, you know, 535 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: on the way or has arrived one or the other. 536 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't keep up with all of it. 537 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 1: I see the headlining. Ah, good for him, But I'm 538 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: glad he's back and coaching, Yes, because it's good for 539 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: us in this business.

So if you're just turning in 552 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 3: any missed last week, we are not throwing shit at Bucky. 553 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 3: Bucky is totally in on it. 554 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 4: So indeed, well, speaking of being totally in on it, 555 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 4: that's Novak Djokovic because the old guy is schooling the 556 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 4: young guy right now.

Al Karaz came in as the one 559 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 4: seed and djokovics the two seed. Djokovic up five nothing 560 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 4: in the opening set of the men's final at Wimbledon 561 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 4: in golf, Rory McElroy has just pulled off a dramatic 562 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 4: victory at the Genesis Scottish Open. He birdied the final 563 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 4: two holes to win by one shot over Robert McIntyre. 564 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 4: In Major League Baseball, on Saturday night, at the Los 565 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 4: Angeles Angels defeated the Houston Astros in ten innings, thirteen 566 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 4: to twelve. The Angels fell behind in this game nine 567 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 4: to three. They scored six runs in the bottom of 568 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 4: the seventh inning to tie it.

Finally, in the NBA, Lebron James is changing 574 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 4: his number from six back to twenty three out of 575 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 4: respect for the late Bill Russell, who of course also 576 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 4: wore number six. No word yet on why Lebron didn't 577 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 4: just announce that during his speech at the SP's back 578 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 4: to you guys, I was. 579 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: Really proud of that speech of the SP's you know 580 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: how we handled it. On air, Brian Finley did the update, 581 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: I said, good for him, and then we moved on 582 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: like nobody thought he was retiring. 583 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 5: There's much ado about nothing.

It was all I, I means, sure me. 585 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 5: And then he looked like doctor Nafario from Despicable Me. 586 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 5: Brody's Young. You don't know that one yet. 587 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: Look it up.

Going back to that 655 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: last year in Seattle. I mean you being as a 656 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 1: Seahawks guy and us talking football as much as we do, 657 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: It's like, I don't know, I think there was already 658 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: a bit of a slippage before last year's debacle. And 659 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 1: then you get behind the scenes and while Sean Payton 660 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,280 Speaker 1: can go and clean up a lot of the personality 661 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: stuff and the whatever anybody was doing to kind of 662 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 1: bow to the history of Russell Wilson is gone. You 663 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: can't fix the player. So that's curiosity. But Chad Brown 664 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: played for years in the National Football League now and analysts. 665 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: He went on a podcast called The Sick Podcast, but 666 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: they asked him, would you rather have up and comer 667 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 1: can he Pickett? Did you see enough? Or would you 668 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:17,919 Speaker 1: have Russell Wilson with Sean Payton. He went back and forth. 669 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 1: He finally sided with Wilson. With Pickett going from the 670 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 1: year one to year two, did you see enough to 671 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 1: think that you can have a dramatic leap, or he's 672 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 1: a guy destined maybe to be shuddered early, or will 673 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh have the patients and build enough around him. 674 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna give you my thoughts, and I'm 675 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 3: not going to go back and forth like Chad Brown. 676 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,359 Speaker 3: But what I am gonna do is I'm gonna make 677 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:46,479 Speaker 3: nobody happy. I think I think Pittsburgh has a chance 678 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,879 Speaker 3: to win the AFC North. Crazy as it may seem, 679 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 3: I think that there's an opportunity and he's a big 680 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 3: reason why. But I'd still take Russell Wilson and Sean 681 00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:00,359 Speaker 3: Payton together. I at least want to put my chips 682 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,240 Speaker 3: to see how that works out, to see how Peyton. 683 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 3: I mean, obviously, what he did with Drew Brees over 684 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 3: such a long period of time makes me intrigued enough 685 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 3: to be like, all right, what can he fix with Russ? 686 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,359 Speaker 3: What can what can work with Russell Wilson? And it's 687 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 3: also the final because if it doesn't work now, there 688 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,840 Speaker 3: are gonna be some issues. They're gonna be some problems. 689 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 3: But I'd still take Russell Wilson and Sean Payton at 690 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,399 Speaker 3: this point over a second year. Can he Pickett as 691 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 3: much as I do like the Steelers, this fall is 692 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 3: possibly a team that's gonna surprise. As a team that's 693 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,399 Speaker 3: gonna surprise, I'm gonna take the Bronco duo. 694 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 1: Love the receiving corps, Love the depth that running back. Right, 695 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 1: Najie Harris may lose out to Jalen Warrem, but that's 696 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 1: that's not the worst of worlds for you to have 697 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 1: two guys. As we were talking about the running back 698 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 1: position earlier, Matt Canada, can he coax out of picket? 699 00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 1: Did you see enough? I think there'll be a leap. 700 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,840 Speaker 1: You got Pickens, You've got Johnson. I mean, you've got playmakers, Friarmouth. 701 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 1: I mean, you've got enough guys to really make this go. 702 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:12,719 Speaker 1: But short term, look at what Denver has in the cupboard, right, 703 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 1: same thing. Wide receiving corps is potentially great. Javonte Williams 704 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: comes back off injury, Yeah, and Sean Payton with a 705 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 1: couple of ringles. Now will Now, if we're just talking 706 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 1: because this is the beauty of it though, now we're 707 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 1: just talking about if I take the player, and I'm 708 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,400 Speaker 1: looking at it from a fantasy perspective, I take Russell 709 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,439 Speaker 1: Wilson from the football perspective, I like what you said 710 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,800 Speaker 1: about the Steelers. I think they're good enough in that 711 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 1: division to challenge right Cleveland, we don't know what they are. 712 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 1: Baltimore in theory better they finally really invested in the 713 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 1: wide receiver position. In theory, JK. Dobbins and company are 714 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 1: healthy in the backfield, and maybe teasing ahead to my 715 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,359 Speaker 1: fantasy realm, I can get more than twelve games out 716 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 1: of Lamar Jackson. But that all being said, you know 717 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 1: you're chasing Cincinnati, who's been rolling along. Joe Mixon restructures again, 718 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 1: owing to that running back conversation we were having, that'll 719 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:18,839 Speaker 1: be a thread throughout the show. Wild Cards not out 720 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 1: of the picture. 721 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,839 Speaker 3: In I don't think so. And you hope that you're 722 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 3: going to have a healthy TJ. Watt for the entire season, 723 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,359 Speaker 3: something that you didn't have for half the season last year, 724 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 3: and it had an effect when you get down to it, 725 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 3: it's just been looking at those two guys. Mike, Obviously, 726 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 3: there's a focus with Kenny Pickett, like there is no 727 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 3: doubt it is of the utmost importance for the Steelers 728 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 3: to have picket progress. But it's different in Denver, where 729 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 3: you don't need Russell Wilson to progress. You need him 730 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:57,439 Speaker 3: to be good slash great. And so maybe Kenny Pickett 731 00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,279 Speaker 3: will be in that progression good slash rate. But that 732 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 3: is the goal of Peyton in Denver right now with 733 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,720 Speaker 3: Russell Wilson is to bring him back up to that level. 734 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 3: So that's that's why I would invest at that point. 735 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 3: If if Kenny Pickett makes positive strides and continues on 736 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,879 Speaker 3: his way to being a you know, a decade long 737 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 3: starting quarterback in the National Football League, that's awesome. But 738 00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,399 Speaker 3: you don't have to see this massive leap from Kenny 739 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,840 Speaker 3: Pickett to think that, all right, he's he's gonna be 740 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 3: our guy if he makes good progress with that defense. Now, 741 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,440 Speaker 3: Jay Harris, they get you know, more of a more 742 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 3: of a running game going. Yeah, Pittsburgh could be, could 743 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 3: be decent, but still so much a focus on Russell 744 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,439 Speaker 3: Wilson in Denver and his success. I can't shy away 745 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 3: from that. 746 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 1: Well, have nothing else. It gives us one of the 747 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:49,920 Speaker 1: great storylines and we'll talk storylines not related to the 748 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: Jets coming up as the show goes on as well. 749 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,880 Speaker 1: And Denver's certainly there and we take them now because 750 00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:02,280 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson if it's done, huge story, right, Sean Payton 751 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 1: can't fix him, so it makes him a little more vulnerable. 752 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 1: But what would they do in the post Russell Wilson era? 753 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 1: And you're in a division that's a mess, right in 754 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 1: terms of trying to climb through because the Raiders, even 755 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 1: if they're bad, they'll still hang around in some games 756 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,319 Speaker 1: because of that defense. He's Dan, I'm Mike. Coming up next. 757 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 1: It's listening season in Major League Baseball. Welcome back in 758 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:29,399 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Sunday, Mike Carmen, Dan Bayer 759 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 1: with you here, Welcome in, Thanks for being part of 760 00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 1: the extended family on a beautiful Sunday morning on the 761 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 1: highways and byways of life. Summer vacations for a lot 762 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,919 Speaker 1: of people that are already looking at ah, summer's almost over, 763 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 1: and that's true. The kids go back to school in 764 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:49,879 Speaker 1: about three and a half weeks. Wow, let's go. Let's 765 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,880 Speaker 1: get it fast and furious as we go. I can 766 00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 1: give some of my life back. I love hanging with 767 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,239 Speaker 1: the kids, so I certainly take nothing from it. But 768 00:40:58,320 --> 00:40:59,240 Speaker 1: every once in a while, it's. 769 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:03,399 Speaker 3: Like there should be laws in this country and having 770 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,360 Speaker 3: kids go to school prior to August fifteenth, like it 771 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 3: should not happen. I give you, yeah, going back, you're 772 00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 3: going back Arizona. I just know as one that cons 773 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,279 Speaker 3: in early, and I get that it's super hot. Sure, 774 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 3: so maybe the best thing to do is to be 775 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:24,399 Speaker 3: in an air conditioned school at that point. But man, 776 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 3: there's nothing like having the summer vacation into August. 777 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,520 Speaker 1: Wow, once upon a time you'd go through to near 778 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:33,279 Speaker 1: labor day before you. 779 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,400 Speaker 3: Get mac rich.

This is what we're doing or scheduled, say, 794 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:28,800 Speaker 1: soccer tournaments for weeks at a times in Saint Louis. 795 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:30,799 Speaker 1: You don't have any of that. Yeah, no, exactly. Yeah, 796 00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,800 Speaker 1: let's go to Saint Louis. Oh I'm really bagging on 797 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 1: Saint Louis. But the Spitfire barbecue place, that was a 798 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 1: good place. See there you go that they enjoyed it.

Not that you couldn't still rule with 803 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:56,880 Speaker 1: an iron fist. 804 00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:01,160 Speaker 3: Dan, I've only been to Saint Louis once ones and 805 00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 3: it was the old Bush Stadium, not the current one, 806 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,399 Speaker 3: but the old one. We drove down for a day 807 00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,600 Speaker 3: and I have a sense and this was when the 808 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,360 Speaker 3: Bowling Hall of Fame was still in town. It's just 809 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 3: no longer. But I get the sense that after you 810 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,600 Speaker 3: do the arch, a lot of people are like, all right, now, 811 00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,880 Speaker 3: what do we do? That's that's the I told you. 812 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 1: Though. 813 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,359 Speaker 3: The arch was pretty impressive, Yes, like it felt, I mean. 814 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,840 Speaker 1: I've seen it from afar, right, You've always you know, 815 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,279 Speaker 1: you drive through the Midwest, whatever you see it. And 816 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 1: I've been to Saint Louis before, but this is the 817 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,719 Speaker 1: first time we kind of walked close to it and 818 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:36,799 Speaker 1: I was describing to. 819 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 3: You and nothing, by the way, when you get close 820 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,600 Speaker 3: to it and nothing like you pictured in your mind, 821 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:42,279 Speaker 3: not at all. 822 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,719 Speaker 1: Like we start walking up on it and you know, 823 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:50,400 Speaker 1: leaving no pop culture referenced in a stone unturned, no 824 00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:54,000 Speaker 1: pun intended, oh fully intended. I felt like I was 825 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,920 Speaker 1: in Indiana Jones in the Last Crusade. So go back 826 00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,480 Speaker 1: to the third with Sean Connery and he's got to 827 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,440 Speaker 1: do the the leap of faith and he takes that 828 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,840 Speaker 1: first step out, but then to mark his territory, territory 829 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,200 Speaker 1: and what the path is, He's gotta, you know, throw 830 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 1: some sand. He's like, all right, this is where it was. 831 00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:14,160 Speaker 1: So I'm projecting forward. That's kind of what they look 832 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,560 Speaker 1: like an AI c GI kind of effect up into 833 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:19,719 Speaker 1: the sky. Like I had to go up and touch 834 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,400 Speaker 1: it to make sure it was really in front of 835 00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 1: me and not a hologram or something. 836 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,440 Speaker 3: I don't know, like what I thought, like how I 837 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,080 Speaker 3: how you would go in and there's you know, a 838 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:29,840 Speaker 3: bit of like a you know, a lobby and a 839 00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 3: place you know there in the like. 840 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:33,680 Speaker 1: We didn't do that. I didn't want to stand in 841 00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,520 Speaker 1: line for that, but people were I did. 842 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,040 Speaker 3: Not go up in the arch, and I assume you 843 00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,759 Speaker 3: did not either, but that would I. 844 00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:40,840 Speaker 1: Did go to a racetrack. 845 00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:45,279 Speaker 3: All right, we're done with the archs. What should we do? 846 00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:47,320 Speaker 3: You want to go to the track, Yeah, let's do 847 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,360 Speaker 3: it has. 848 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,719 Speaker 1: Been a hobby in the family and a little bit 849 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,400 Speaker 1: of hawle for a while. So we did go out 850 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,759 Speaker 1: and we were watching simulcast. We didn't stay for the 851 00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,040 Speaker 1: live racing at night. Here's what we did go for 852 00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,799 Speaker 1: some simulcast during the day. And they have a sports book. 853 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,800 Speaker 1: So placed a couple of baseball bets, which lost miserably. 854 00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,320 Speaker 3: How many of the Harmon brothers were in attention? 855 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:11,879 Speaker 1: Just two of us. Okay, third brother was not there. 856 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,280 Speaker 1: But you know, whenever two are together, it's a party. 857 00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,680 Speaker 3: That is true. That is true. As much as I 858 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:22,600 Speaker 3: love to hear about the ventures of Saint Louis and 859 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:27,799 Speaker 3: the soccer matches there, the stories don't get any better 860 00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:30,760 Speaker 3: when you talk about what happens when the harmon brothers 861 00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:32,640 Speaker 3: get together. That is that is true. 862 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,840 Speaker 1: We always we always do find some adventures. We did 863 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:36,640 Speaker 1: have a guy this is great. We're gonna get to 864 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:38,759 Speaker 1: show antony in a minute, I promise. But this is 865 00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:43,000 Speaker 1: one everybody can relate to. Right, There's that you hear 866 00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,759 Speaker 1: people next to you that are having a conversation and 867 00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,040 Speaker 1: you just know one of them is like the logic 868 00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:52,240 Speaker 1: just fails right out the jump. Right. This guy's sitting 869 00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:56,200 Speaker 1: there with his wife or girlfriend whatever, probably I want 870 00:45:56,239 --> 00:46:00,600 Speaker 1: to say, sixty five sixty sixty five ish, and he's 871 00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,880 Speaker 1: better and he's losing, right, and he's getting frustrated. And 872 00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:08,640 Speaker 1: so my brother knows far more about this than I do. 873 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:12,680 Speaker 1: Right in tracks, jockeys and drivers and whatever. And there 874 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,520 Speaker 1: was a guy in from from Europe who was riding 875 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,400 Speaker 1: in some big Steaks races at Belmont Park right as 876 00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:22,320 Speaker 1: one of the cyblecasts. And so it was a shot 877 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,000 Speaker 1: of like, wow, if he's on this horse, there's a 878 00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,520 Speaker 1: reason in the horse whatever. And the guy next to 879 00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:30,960 Speaker 1: us starts complaining. My brother kind of educates him just 880 00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:32,799 Speaker 1: to kind of give my heads up. Guy had been 881 00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:36,360 Speaker 1: suspended for a cocaine violation, so you know, he was 882 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,440 Speaker 1: back on the horse and ready to go. But either way, 883 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,879 Speaker 1: see what I did there the horse as well. 884 00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,279 Speaker 3: But I also know exactly what song Sam is coming 885 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:47,600 Speaker 3: back with. 886 00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,520 Speaker 1: Well, he's either going there or he's gonna do the 887 00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 1: classic white Horse. But the logic goes so he gets 888 00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,200 Speaker 1: educated there. Okay, cool, But then they start having a 889 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,120 Speaker 1: fight because someone is trying to book a group of 890 00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:07,440 Speaker 1: them movie tickets. And now he's fighting about the costs 891 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,520 Speaker 1: of the movie ticket. It's like, no way, that's that high. 892 00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,520 Speaker 1: It was like a seventeen dollars movie ticket and you 893 00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,040 Speaker 1: know I have to wait till the popcorn. Yeah, but 894 00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:16,480 Speaker 1: I had to pipe up. It's like, you know, we're 895 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:20,719 Speaker 1: in California, that's fairly standard. Yeah, and that's not even 896 00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:24,239 Speaker 1: including some of the large screens and IMAX and whatever else. 897 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,000 Speaker 1: Now we're into the twenties and he's looking at me. 898 00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,879 Speaker 1: It's like that's crazy, all right. So like they were 899 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:30,719 Speaker 1: having an argument about it. I finally just had to 900 00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,600 Speaker 1: settle it for her. But the best was they had 901 00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:35,560 Speaker 1: this race and he goes, I want you to bet 902 00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 1: the the four favorites to place in this next race 903 00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,279 Speaker 1: win play show. I want you to bet the four 904 00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:51,279 Speaker 1: favorites in this next race to place. Everybody out there 905 00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:55,239 Speaker 1: right now is slapping themselves in the forehead, going he's 906 00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:59,920 Speaker 1: already lost. Run the race because two of those horses 907 00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:01,600 Speaker 1: are already losers. 908 00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:04,200 Speaker 3: What would your brother do? 909 00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,120 Speaker 1: We just kind of looked at each other and just went, 910 00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:09,680 Speaker 1: I want to tell him, do you? I want to 911 00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,799 Speaker 1: tell him? And then the race goes off. We had 912 00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:14,839 Speaker 1: happened to pick the winning horse of that race, who 913 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:18,480 Speaker 1: paid pretty well, nowhere near a favorite, sure, and all 914 00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:22,040 Speaker 1: four of his were as not a single place in 915 00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:25,880 Speaker 1: the in the lot. But and then he just started 916 00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:28,200 Speaker 1: cursing up a storm. So I was like, all right, 917 00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,520 Speaker 1: I got my entertainment, and I walked out with a 918 00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:34,040 Speaker 1: couple of bucks. Checked the box. We went to Fairmont Park. 919 00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,640 Speaker 3: That's that's all you can ask for. You made a 920 00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:37,680 Speaker 3: couple of bucks, that's all you. 921 00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,120 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, that's it. We walked out as as 922 00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:43,719 Speaker 1: soon as that cashed, like, thank you very much. We're 923 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:45,319 Speaker 1: back into Saint Louis. 924 00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:47,759 Speaker 3: And you can check out an expensive movie with all 925 00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:48,520 Speaker 3: the money you made. 926 00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:51,680 Speaker 1: No question about it.

But Alcarez fighting back here 932 00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,319 Speaker 1: in the second set, so we'll see if we can 933 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:13,360 Speaker 1: get our social match out of it. 934 00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,719 Speaker 3: You wonder too if Alcarez just kind of maybe threw 935 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:17,360 Speaker 3: in the towel in the first set and it's like 936 00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,120 Speaker 3: all right, letting once he was down a couple of breaks, 937 00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,640 Speaker 3: move on, try to win, you know, three out of 938 00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,359 Speaker 3: the next four, and not worried about the first one. Sure, 939 00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:28,719 Speaker 3: so you're not expending all that energy. 940 00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,239 Speaker 1: I want to see what the luminaries are there in 941 00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,360 Speaker 1: in Wimbledon, right, because we've been watching all the celebrities 942 00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:35,879 Speaker 1: over the course. 943 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, Brad Pitt's there, obviously, Prince William and Princess Kate 944 00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:43,640 Speaker 3: are there. I think two of the three kids are there, Okay, yeah, 945 00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:48,280 Speaker 3: two out of three eight Ben years ago music standing 946 00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,000 Speaker 3: o in the Royal Box. But yeah, I've seen Brad 947 00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,320 Speaker 3: Pitt in that. They've showed a couple of shots of 948 00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:54,160 Speaker 3: Prince William. 949 00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:57,920 Speaker 1: Shakira there today, she hanging out with Jimmy but Yeah, 950 00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:01,440 Speaker 1: I think that's right. Either way, she wins, and when 951 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,560 Speaker 1: she's in the picture, we all win. Who else to 952 00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,520 Speaker 1: that for keeping it under wraps? If she was showing 953 00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,520 Speaker 1: up to heat games and apparently that was going on 954 00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:10,520 Speaker 1: for that to then finally come out in mid July, 955 00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:13,520 Speaker 1: good job by them. Some people go on one date 956 00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,080 Speaker 1: and it's already public news. Well, how much do you 957 00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:17,800 Speaker 1: want of public is really what it comes down to. 958 00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:20,160 Speaker 1: Do I want my public assist involved? By the way, 959 00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:21,560 Speaker 1: that was the other thing, because I could tie it 960 00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:24,839 Speaker 1: back to Wimbledon, the great video Jimmy Butler sitting there 961 00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:27,520 Speaker 1: at two in the morning watching I don't even see it, 962 00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:31,120 Speaker 1: watching Algarez on his computer sitting there with a couple 963 00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,879 Speaker 1: of guys and saying let's go and cheering for him 964 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,480 Speaker 1: to make it through. So it all ties together. 965 00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,960 Speaker 3: He's bandwagon, That's what that's that's the sense that I'm getting. 966 00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:41,719 Speaker 1: Well, if he was sitting there with Drake, I would 967 00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:46,960 Speaker 1: have said that maybe the young guy. I mean, even 968 00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:51,400 Speaker 1: though he's ranked number one, I think most of casual 969 00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:54,920 Speaker 1: tennis fans and folks that are kind of in and out, 970 00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:58,520 Speaker 1: and it's certainly in our world Yokovic is the established brand, 971 00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:00,200 Speaker 1: the old Rick Fleh. 972 00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:00,719 Speaker 3: To be the man. 973 00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,239 Speaker 1: You gotta beat the man, that's true, trying to take 974 00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:06,160 Speaker 1: him down right, twenty three to one, all of those things, 975 00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:08,160 Speaker 1: a man still in his peak. 976 00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:10,640 Speaker 3: And it's it's the match that everybody wanted to see. 977 00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:16,440 Speaker 3: Like this is no disrespect to Danil Medvedev or Stefano 978 00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:20,040 Speaker 3: sits APAs or Christopher Eubanks the American and who made 979 00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:25,080 Speaker 3: a nice run into the quarterfinals cards, I don't think so. 980 00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,200 Speaker 3: I don't think that there's any relation. Casper Rudin of 981 00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,160 Speaker 3: Norway was the fourth seat. He was housed in the 982 00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:32,759 Speaker 3: first week, I think second round, but this was the one. 983 00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,160 Speaker 3: You don't always get this, Mike either. Even when you 984 00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:38,560 Speaker 3: look back at history at what happened at the Wimbledon finals, 985 00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:42,439 Speaker 3: there's about a four or five year window about twenty 986 00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,279 Speaker 3: eleven to twenty sixteen where you basically just had the 987 00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,920 Speaker 3: rotating four. It was Djokovic, Nadal, Federer and Andy Murray 988 00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:51,920 Speaker 3: some you know, iteration of those two were going to 989 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:53,680 Speaker 3: be in. But you know, over the last couple of 990 00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:55,600 Speaker 3: years you've had other guys creep in, so there was 991 00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,480 Speaker 3: not necessarily a guarantee or going to get one versus two. 992 00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,080 Speaker 3: You wanted a one versus two and we got it here. 993 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:04,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, the old we love dominance until we don't. Right. 994 00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:06,640 Speaker 1: We'll talk about Steph Curry a little bit later. The 995 00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:10,799 Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors, we loved them until we didn't. Now, yo, 996 00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:16,040 Speaker 1: uh when you talk about the the Denver Nuggets and 997 00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,640 Speaker 1: and what yok and those guys are doing, how quickly 998 00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:21,279 Speaker 1: is that going to get old? Right there? 999 00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,720 Speaker 3: I'm starting to get sick of the Kansas City Chiefs. 1000 00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:28,200 Speaker 1: The Chiefs right, same thing, right.

I 1002 00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:34,840 Speaker 1: think the the expiration has that, whether he's. 1003 00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:38,640 Speaker 3: Interested, There'sravis Kelcey. We're just seeing so much of it. 1004 00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:43,959 Speaker 1: It's overexposed, commercialized to where it's like I'm done with it. Yeah, 1005 00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,640 Speaker 1: and I think that's that's that's more my point, Like, no, 1006 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,800 Speaker 1: there's likable, but it's like, just just go play football 1007 00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:51,560 Speaker 1: for a while and then come back. 1008 00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:56,160 Speaker 3: That's not something meaning though, just go play football. It's 1009 00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:58,520 Speaker 3: just it's they're getting a lot of juice from the 1010 00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:01,280 Speaker 3: second Super Bowl when it's almost like you would expect 1011 00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:03,839 Speaker 3: it from the first one because it's the first time. 1012 00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:06,640 Speaker 3: But they've done this before.

But the incessant, you know, trying to 1109 00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:59,520 Speaker 1: get into the mind of Artie Moreno is is really 1110 00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:00,800 Speaker 1: what this is all about. 1111 00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:01,160 Speaker 3: Right? 1112 00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:03,640 Speaker 1: What is show Otani want? I think we know he 1113 00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,640 Speaker 1: wants to win, right, we all stipulate to that that 1114 00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:09,480 Speaker 1: there's some part of that. Can he do that in Anaheim? 1115 00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:12,680 Speaker 1: But does he like the life in Anaheim? Over that? 1116 00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:14,960 Speaker 1: And for Ardi Moreno from the trade side, I don't 1117 00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:16,680 Speaker 1: know if you watched the other night when Otani was 1118 00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:21,720 Speaker 1: pitching awful lot of advertisements in Japanese sure around that stadium, 1119 00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:24,280 Speaker 1: right with every shot that you have, and the amount 1120 00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:26,640 Speaker 1: of money coming through, not to mention the promotional days, 1121 00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:30,120 Speaker 1: butts in seats, all of that, it's it's a cash cow. 1122 00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:35,080 Speaker 1: So I asked this, very, uh, very bluntly, are you 1123 00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:39,080 Speaker 1: a businessman or you a baseball owner? Because the two 1124 00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:42,200 Speaker 1: don't necessarily I smash together very. 1125 00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:44,600 Speaker 3: Often, Mike, I don't think it's an Lardy Moreno decision. 1126 00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:46,640 Speaker 3: I really don't. 1127 00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:48,640 Speaker 1: For the trade. 1128 00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:52,240 Speaker 3: I don't. I don't. I don't think that it's an 1129 00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:58,080 Speaker 3: arty moreno decision because and I felt this way throughout. 1130 00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:01,400 Speaker 3: I feel even stronger now, especially now, and the guy's 1131 00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:04,800 Speaker 3: got a blister that he's dealing with. I don't know. 1132 00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:09,120 Speaker 3: I don't know how in the world you figure out 1133 00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:11,040 Speaker 3: trade compensation for a player like. 1134 00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:16,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, like we've seen the all right, maybe the Dodgers 1135 00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:19,840 Speaker 1: are four prospects or whatever. You start throwing up against 1136 00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:23,360 Speaker 1: the wall and the John Paul Morosi report that the 1137 00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:25,600 Speaker 1: Angels are listening, Well, they'd be a bunch of dopes 1138 00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:27,760 Speaker 1: if they didn't at least pick up the phone. You 1139 00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:30,080 Speaker 1: have no idea what's coming back. But trying to figure 1140 00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:33,760 Speaker 1: out what is commensurate for his talents? Absolutely what what. 1141 00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:38,400 Speaker 3: Where do you start? And that's that is the biggest issue. 1142 00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:40,920 Speaker 3: And for a team that you know, I know Isaac's 1143 00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:42,720 Speaker 3: gonna give us the latest in a little bit, but 1144 00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:45,880 Speaker 3: he touched on it earlier. Great win last night, and 1145 00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:48,800 Speaker 3: I know you're without Mike Trout for you know, a 1146 00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:52,800 Speaker 3: few more weeks and dealing with that all all isn't 1147 00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:56,560 Speaker 3: lost just yet. Maybe last night is the springboard. Maybe 1148 00:59:56,600 --> 01:00:01,040 Speaker 3: it's not. The AL Central stinks. Yeah, sow Guard picture 1149 01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:04,560 Speaker 3: is a mess. Yeah, and right now you're not in 1150 01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:07,640 Speaker 3: an ideal spot considering how good the AL East is. 1151 01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:12,280 Speaker 3: But in the end, what could you get in return 1152 01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:17,440 Speaker 3: that would satisfy you for giving up on Otani? That 1153 01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:20,280 Speaker 3: Mike that another team would be willing to give up 1154 01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:22,720 Speaker 3: for a two month rental now with the guy who's 1155 01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:27,040 Speaker 3: dealing with a blister, who there's no guarantee that he 1156 01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:31,000 Speaker 3: would be back with you, Like, even if it's the Dodgers, 1157 01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:32,920 Speaker 3: who I think a lot of people feel are the 1158 01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:38,080 Speaker 3: front runners in getting Otani next season. Even if you're 1159 01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:40,800 Speaker 3: the Dodgers, why then would you give up the amount 1160 01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:44,160 Speaker 3: of prospects that you have, knowing full well that you 1161 01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:46,680 Speaker 3: could be the leader in the clubhouse to sign him 1162 01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:51,720 Speaker 3: as a free agent. It just doesn't. I just I 1163 01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:54,640 Speaker 3: don't know a deal. And I use the example of 1164 01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:56,720 Speaker 3: I have a buddy of my fantasy football league that 1165 01:00:56,960 --> 01:01:02,960 Speaker 3: feels like basically any is tradable. You know, would you 1166 01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:06,840 Speaker 3: would you trade all of your draft picks for this player? Okay, yes, 1167 01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:09,200 Speaker 3: I do that deal. Okay, there's a starting point, so 1168 01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:11,800 Speaker 3: you know, somewhere in between, if you would accept there's 1169 01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:14,280 Speaker 3: a starting point. I don't know where the I don't 1170 01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:16,240 Speaker 3: know where the starting point is. And I just don't 1171 01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:19,320 Speaker 3: think that the ends will ever meet because of the 1172 01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:23,560 Speaker 3: value of him the short term rental. And if you 1173 01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:26,200 Speaker 3: were to give up prospects for someone that feels like 1174 01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:28,120 Speaker 3: they could sign him in the off season, why would 1175 01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:30,560 Speaker 3: you do that right now? I just I don't. It's 1176 01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:33,480 Speaker 3: two batteries, you know, that are two magnets, excuse me, 1177 01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:35,640 Speaker 3: that are on the same end. You know, they're just 1178 01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:39,320 Speaker 3: not going to connect. That's that's what I feel with 1179 01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:41,000 Speaker 3: the Angels and this Otani trae. 1180 01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:42,920 Speaker 1: Well, the Dodgers you have the other complication of is 1181 01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:45,040 Speaker 1: already moreno going to trade him right up the five? 1182 01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:48,120 Speaker 1: But again going back to the psychology of the owner, 1183 01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:50,680 Speaker 1: and that's why we've been coming at this from a lot. Yeah, right, 1184 01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:53,360 Speaker 1: what Otani may have said, Hey, I'm not coming back already. 1185 01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:56,120 Speaker 1: So if you're already, Marina, you're like, all right, if 1186 01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:59,120 Speaker 1: I get like four pitching prospects or two and two 1187 01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:01,640 Speaker 1: or whatever, is that getting me anywhere. I didn't win 1188 01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:05,360 Speaker 1: with Trout and with Otani, and I can't get Rendon 1189 01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:07,400 Speaker 1: to stay on the field for more than three days 1190 01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:10,600 Speaker 1: at a time. What are these guys like? I equated 1191 01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:12,760 Speaker 1: him talking with Arnie about this a little bit what 1192 01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:14,760 Speaker 1: he filled in for Jason Smith this week. It's like, 1193 01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:19,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna trade the guy who is a once not 1194 01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:22,000 Speaker 1: even in a lifetime. I mean, this guy is just 1195 01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:27,640 Speaker 1: different player for magic beans and hope that they sprout, really, 1196 01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:30,320 Speaker 1: because otherwise, who's giving up any to your point of 1197 01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:33,920 Speaker 1: who's giving up anything of substance? Really, because if you're contending, 1198 01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,760 Speaker 1: you're not gonna trade away big chips that way. I 1199 01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:41,520 Speaker 1: have heard it profferd Matt and Petris on a five 1200 01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:44,440 Speaker 1: to seventy or LA affiliate. You know, Loan Soto's only 1201 01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:46,959 Speaker 1: got one more year left on his deal. Maybe maybe 1202 01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:49,400 Speaker 1: that's something, and then Ardie Moreno can say, hey, that 1203 01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:52,560 Speaker 1: guy becomes our centerpiece guy and sign him. That's about 1204 01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:55,000 Speaker 1: the only thing I've seen kind of thrown up against 1205 01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,800 Speaker 1: a wall that might might at least warrant a little 1206 01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:00,760 Speaker 1: bit of a conversation. Everything else becomes draft picks and 1207 01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:04,680 Speaker 1: future draft capital, which we know is nonsense. Right, you're 1208 01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:07,000 Speaker 1: not winning with two of the best players you and 1209 01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:10,800 Speaker 1: I have ever seen, which again shows baseball need you 1210 01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:13,959 Speaker 1: need a complete roster to roll through. But you're gonna 1211 01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:15,960 Speaker 1: give up on a guy and all that money because 1212 01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:17,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess you're gonna have to make a bunch 1213 01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:21,120 Speaker 1: of returns to those companies that bought in, like financial 1214 01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:23,920 Speaker 1: considerations come in and Moreno, had you know done the 1215 01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:26,680 Speaker 1: exploratory on selling the team. Well, that valuations is gonna 1216 01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:30,040 Speaker 1: be an awful lot different whether Otani's there or not. 1217 01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:35,320 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, completely. And the other part of the of 1218 01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:38,320 Speaker 3: the ownership role, Mike, is this message. And I think 1219 01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:42,520 Speaker 3: it was Ken Rosenthal who reported that, and I apologize 1220 01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:44,920 Speaker 3: Ken if it wasn't it wasn't you that Artie Moreno 1221 01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:46,920 Speaker 3: doesn't want to be the guy to trade show hey Otani. 1222 01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:49,160 Speaker 1: Yeah no, And that's part of it, right. 1223 01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:52,600 Speaker 3: I don't necessarily believe that because I think Arti Moreno 1224 01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:55,240 Speaker 3: is going to be the guy that you just mentioned 1225 01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:58,000 Speaker 3: that we're gonna remember the guy that could win with 1226 01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:03,720 Speaker 3: Trout and Otani, the guy that gave Anthony Rendon that contract. 1227 01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:09,200 Speaker 3: So the guy that gave you know, Albert Poohols the contract. 1228 01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:12,840 Speaker 3: There's there are a lot, there's a lot like get 1229 01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:15,400 Speaker 3: in line for the this is the guy that traded 1230 01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:19,280 Speaker 3: Otani conversation, like it, all of these decisions, maybe not 1231 01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:21,440 Speaker 3: all of them, a bunch of the decisions that were 1232 01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:23,240 Speaker 3: made the past is now led up to this point 1233 01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:25,800 Speaker 3: where the team is made up of what it is. 1234 01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:29,840 Speaker 3: And so I don't think that that label is going 1235 01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:33,880 Speaker 3: to stick to Ardi Moreno, because I think the labels 1236 01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:35,160 Speaker 3: already there. Yeah. 1237 01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:36,480 Speaker 1: I think it would just be the latest in a 1238 01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:41,920 Speaker 1: long line. Yeah of bad I mean horrible contracts, yes, right, 1239 01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:44,680 Speaker 1: And and even the Mike Trout one is gonna it's 1240 01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:48,360 Speaker 1: aging terribly because he wasn't playing well this year and 1241 01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:51,120 Speaker 1: you're still on the hook for another what eight nine 1242 01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:56,760 Speaker 1: years on that deal and the Rendon contract, you might 1243 01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:58,400 Speaker 1: as well just put a pile of money and burn 1244 01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:01,040 Speaker 1: it at this point, Sorry, the guy can't stay healthy anymore. 1245 01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:03,240 Speaker 1: It's not a reflection of the man. Sure, it's the 1246 01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:05,960 Speaker 1: player in the contract. At the time he got signed, 1247 01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:09,080 Speaker 1: it was still an eyebrow raising. Wow, that's a lot 1248 01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:12,440 Speaker 1: of money because he mid thirties guy coming over and 1249 01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:16,680 Speaker 1: he played more games his final year with the Nationals 1250 01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:20,040 Speaker 1: than he has in three years now with the Angels 1251 01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:23,840 Speaker 1: two and a half years. Right, But like the psychology 1252 01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:27,400 Speaker 1: of the ownership, role I think is interesting here you 1253 01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:30,200 Speaker 1: mentioned the pool holes contract and add all of those up, 1254 01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:35,480 Speaker 1: But then here's the feather in the cap of like. 1255 01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:39,080 Speaker 1: I'd rather lose him walking away because he decided he 1256 01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:42,840 Speaker 1: didn't want us anymore than to give him away on 1257 01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,960 Speaker 1: the wing in prayer that one of the four prospects 1258 01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:50,640 Speaker 1: becomes an everyday starter. Least, that's my psychology. I'll take 1259 01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:54,280 Speaker 1: the cash and I'll roll the dice that we've done 1260 01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:58,240 Speaker 1: enough and as much as we could in Anaheim to 1261 01:05:58,360 --> 01:05:59,240 Speaker 1: make him want to be here. 1262 01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:01,720 Speaker 3: I don't think that you have to take the best deal, 1263 01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:04,160 Speaker 3: like to that point, because the best deal may not 1264 01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:06,479 Speaker 3: be a good deal, right, it may be an average deal, 1265 01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:08,520 Speaker 3: and so even though it's the only one out there, 1266 01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:12,960 Speaker 3: you may just have to say thanks, but no thanks, 1267 01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,280 Speaker 3: we're not going to do it. Somebody gives you, you know, 1268 01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:19,520 Speaker 3: their top four prospects in their farm system or something 1269 01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:22,000 Speaker 3: like that, maybe there's a way that you can you 1270 01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:23,960 Speaker 3: could justify it. I just don't think anybody's going to 1271 01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:24,240 Speaker 3: do that. 1272 01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:26,040 Speaker 1: And even if they did, a lot of teams, I 1273 01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:28,360 Speaker 1: don't know that i'd want the top four prospects in 1274 01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:31,360 Speaker 1: there fair enough, right, I mean the Dodgers. Let's talk 1275 01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:34,720 Speaker 1: because a lot of those guys went on to prominence, 1276 01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:36,640 Speaker 1: But you also hang a star on that because they 1277 01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,360 Speaker 1: went to prominence with the Dodgers because they didn't trade 1278 01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:42,040 Speaker 1: those prospects most of the time. Man, And I'm happy 1279 01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:44,880 Speaker 1: for Cody Bellinger. He's probably gonna get dealt from Chicago. 1280 01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:47,320 Speaker 1: He's had a nice bounce back here, the former MVP 1281 01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:50,440 Speaker 1: who struggled and we wondered. Okay, so that's a guy 1282 01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:53,480 Speaker 1: you can put on the Dodgers alum who actually went 1283 01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:57,920 Speaker 1: and did something outside of the organization. But that history 1284 01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:02,080 Speaker 1: isn't great necessarily. One you get out of everything they 1285 01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:04,920 Speaker 1: do and the fact that you can build a prospect 1286 01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:10,200 Speaker 1: and from ground up and the major league team can 1287 01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:12,840 Speaker 1: put money over the top to round it out.

It's just the 1524 01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:48,800 Speaker 3: conversation of hockey. You know when you talk about Stanley 1525 01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:52,280 Speaker 3: Cup finals versus Stanley Cup Finals, where in the NIHL 1526 01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:54,920 Speaker 3: it is Stanley Cup final and the Stanley Cup playoffs 1527 01:20:55,400 --> 01:20:58,679 Speaker 3: the at Wimbledon and this gentleman and ladies. 1528 01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:01,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, because if you add the s for the NHL, 1529 01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:04,760 Speaker 1: you accidentally say finals. You don't know anything about hot 1530 01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:07,400 Speaker 1: You don't know what you you don't know what you're saying. 1531 01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:12,960 Speaker 1: But it's a thriller. Thus far uh And after getting 1532 01:21:13,040 --> 01:21:16,760 Speaker 1: dominated in the first set, Alcarez showing life and now 1533 01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:18,080 Speaker 1: we're we're battling here. 1534 01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:20,559 Speaker 3: Yeah, and on survey right now in the tie break, 1535 01:21:20,600 --> 01:21:23,800 Speaker 3: tied up at four a piece, so there's you know, 1536 01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:27,439 Speaker 3: obviously big points coming up here, the closer and closer 1537 01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:32,400 Speaker 3: you get to uh to seven. But you know, Alcaiz 1538 01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:34,720 Speaker 3: I thought was upper break in the second set, but 1539 01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:42,000 Speaker 3: Djokovic ended up pulling even Gonna be difficult obviously for 1540 01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:45,160 Speaker 3: Alcarez if you were to drop this set. So this 1541 01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:48,519 Speaker 3: is of the utmost importance. 1542 01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:50,600 Speaker 1: Said he was ready for the moment, ready to attack it. 1543 01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:54,519 Speaker 1: And I watched this with and I marvel at the 1544 01:21:55,280 --> 01:22:00,200 Speaker 1: the ability to move your your feet as quickly as 1545 01:22:00,280 --> 01:22:03,360 Speaker 1: they do with the ball flying at the rate of speed, 1546 01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:05,160 Speaker 1: and we don't get a lot of outside of the serve. 1547 01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:07,800 Speaker 1: We don't get a lot of it clocking in as 1548 01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:11,519 Speaker 1: to how hard they're hitting it. But when we look 1549 01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:15,439 Speaker 1: at the angles and trying to anticipate, not unlike when 1550 01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:18,400 Speaker 1: we're watching soccer, do a degree in a goalie in 1551 01:22:18,479 --> 01:22:23,479 Speaker 1: a penalty kick situation, or I guess even baseball hitters 1552 01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:27,280 Speaker 1: from sixty feet six inches trying to determine the spin 1553 01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:30,000 Speaker 1: rate location of a baseball coming off a guy's hand. 1554 01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:32,920 Speaker 1: I mean, watching this is its next level stuff. 1555 01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:36,200 Speaker 3: You are so spot on with that. I tell the 1556 01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:40,080 Speaker 3: story and I hope this at least has some gravity 1557 01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:43,160 Speaker 3: to it and not just poop pood.

And one of the kids 1560 01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:57,080 Speaker 3: that came over he played junior tennis, and he was 1561 01:22:57,200 --> 01:23:00,800 Speaker 3: good enough to qualify to play in the Open as 1562 01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:04,760 Speaker 3: a junior and you know, didn't didn't go on and 1563 01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:07,559 Speaker 3: have a professional career, but was good enough to at 1564 01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:11,280 Speaker 3: least competed in the junior bracket of the French Open. 1565 01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:14,960 Speaker 3: And you think that you have an idea of what 1566 01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:18,559 Speaker 3: it's like to face a serve, and I just remember 1567 01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:20,200 Speaker 3: and you're in high school and you think, oh, I 1568 01:23:20,240 --> 01:23:21,360 Speaker 3: can you know do what it was? 1569 01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:22,840 Speaker 1: What an athlete I do this? 1570 01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:26,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't even see it.

Again, same thing. 1615 01:25:58,840 --> 01:26:01,840 Speaker 1: Everybody does this, maybe a little bit now pickleball on 1616 01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:05,240 Speaker 1: the tennis side right the extension there, and we look 1617 01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:07,200 Speaker 1: at it and you go out and maybe you hit 1618 01:26:07,280 --> 01:26:09,360 Speaker 1: around or go hit a bucket of balls. Just that 1619 01:26:10,120 --> 01:26:15,320 Speaker 1: that difference so slight in form or whatever, but it 1620 01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:16,559 Speaker 1: means the world. 1621 01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:20,240 Speaker 3: Yes, I mean it's you know, in golf. It's interesting 1622 01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:23,360 Speaker 3: they had to think move up and they moved up 1623 01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:27,840 Speaker 3: tea times today. I'm messing getting completely messed up with 1624 01:26:27,960 --> 01:26:31,760 Speaker 3: the time change. Mic sure, but CBS is having the 1625 01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:33,760 Speaker 3: broadcast of this and it's gonna have to air on 1626 01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:37,439 Speaker 3: on delay because of of them moving up these these 1627 01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:39,280 Speaker 3: tea times, and that's why it's already finished. 1628 01:26:39,320 --> 01:26:42,400 Speaker 1: But with Rory, did I spoil it for someone who's 1629 01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:43,000 Speaker 1: gonna DVR? 1630 01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:45,880 Speaker 3: No, you didn't, You didn't, You didn't spoil it. It's 1631 01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:50,519 Speaker 3: totally fine. It's what we don't concern ourselves with the 1632 01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:53,960 Speaker 3: you know their the the other network's viewing habits. We 1633 01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:57,880 Speaker 3: report what's happening. The The point of Rory winning is 1634 01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:01,120 Speaker 3: so unique because you're coming off of a US Open 1635 01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:04,559 Speaker 3: a month ago where he was in contention and couldn't 1636 01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:07,640 Speaker 3: get it done. There were extreme high expectations and he 1637 01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:10,640 Speaker 3: was coming in on a high entering the Masters and 1638 01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:14,759 Speaker 3: completely bottomed out. And now he wins the week before 1639 01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:17,760 Speaker 3: the Open Championship, and it's going to a place where 1640 01:27:18,120 --> 01:27:20,720 Speaker 3: he has won before. He won the Open Championship at 1641 01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:25,160 Speaker 3: Royal Liverpool nine years ago. So you've got that sort 1642 01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:29,880 Speaker 3: of momentum carrying into what's going to happen this week. 1643 01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:33,800 Speaker 3: So it's a yeah, big deal. And Alkarez has just 1644 01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:39,120 Speaker 3: won the tie break, so so now we're tied up 1645 01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:39,800 Speaker 3: at a set of piece. 1646 01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:44,280 Speaker 1: Great reaction from the crowd, great reaction from him. Jokovic 1647 01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:48,639 Speaker 1: hits the bench and sits down and just shaking his head, 1648 01:27:49,240 --> 01:27:52,080 Speaker 1: feeling that one just got away.

Now we've got lots 1653 01:28:04,760 --> 01:28:08,720 Speaker 1: of football over the next several weeks, getting ready and 1654 01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:12,000 Speaker 1: tuning up. I know it's seven weeks till the week 1655 01:28:12,240 --> 01:28:17,479 Speaker 1: zero of college football, right, We've got nineteen days till 1656 01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:20,200 Speaker 1: we talk about the Hall of Fame game and all 1657 01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:24,360 Speaker 1: of that kind of fun stuff. But the thirty third team, 1658 01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:28,880 Speaker 1: it's collection of former players and executives and coaches. They 1659 01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:32,880 Speaker 1: put up their dark horse MVP candidates. I want to 1660 01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:35,920 Speaker 1: throw a couple of past you, Dan Byer. As we're 1661 01:28:35,960 --> 01:28:40,280 Speaker 1: here on a beautiful Sunday morning, A couple of executive 1662 01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:43,280 Speaker 1: and coaches come up with Dak Prescott sitting at sixteen 1663 01:28:43,439 --> 01:28:47,080 Speaker 1: to one Dallas Cowboys. We talked a lot about Cedee Lamb, 1664 01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:51,519 Speaker 1: questions in the backfield, Pollard coming back, and his health. 1665 01:28:51,800 --> 01:28:55,240 Speaker 1: He did draft a running back late, and then Ezekiel 1666 01:28:55,240 --> 01:28:59,360 Speaker 1: Elliott is still out kind of wandering the universe and 1667 01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:04,479 Speaker 1: the multiverse looking for a job. But Dak Prescott last 1668 01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:07,280 Speaker 1: year they had a good regular season. Callen Moore is gone, 1669 01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:10,240 Speaker 1: so we change up play calling, we change up the 1670 01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:11,320 Speaker 1: order of doing business. 1671 01:29:11,320 --> 01:29:14,680 Speaker 3: Sixteen to one obviously he's going to be in the 1672 01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:17,880 Speaker 3: discussion if the Cowboys are a good team. The thing 1673 01:29:17,920 --> 01:29:20,519 Speaker 3: that I think could hold him back, Mike is if 1674 01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:24,200 Speaker 3: big games. When you talk about what happened in the 1675 01:29:24,240 --> 01:29:27,760 Speaker 3: playoffs last year against the forty nine ers, a lot 1676 01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:30,400 Speaker 3: made about Dak's performance. How do you do in the 1677 01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:31,920 Speaker 3: big games this year? How do you do in the 1678 01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:34,040 Speaker 3: two games that you play against the Eagles? How do 1679 01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:37,040 Speaker 3: you do when you travel to San Francisco and face 1680 01:29:37,120 --> 01:29:39,439 Speaker 3: the forty nine ers again? How do you do against 1681 01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:42,080 Speaker 3: the Buffalo Bills? You got to head the head game 1682 01:29:42,120 --> 01:29:45,080 Speaker 3: against Josh Allen in them later on in the season. 1683 01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:49,320 Speaker 3: That's where I think, if the Cowboys are good, if 1684 01:29:49,400 --> 01:29:51,720 Speaker 3: Dak plays well in those big games, it may kind 1685 01:29:51,760 --> 01:29:55,200 Speaker 3: of make you forget about, not completely, but what has 1686 01:29:55,280 --> 01:29:57,439 Speaker 3: happened in the past. And then put him to the 1687 01:29:57,479 --> 01:29:59,240 Speaker 3: forefront so I could see I could see Dak in 1688 01:29:59,280 --> 01:29:59,799 Speaker 3: the conversation. 1689 01:30:00,360 --> 01:30:02,559 Speaker 1: How about you guys we talked about before. They they 1690 01:30:02,720 --> 01:30:05,559 Speaker 1: both show up in this list from the thirty thirteam. Okay, 1691 01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:09,760 Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett and Russell Wilson are both at forty. 1692 01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:14,920 Speaker 3: To Wow, I could see Wilson. I think it's this 1693 01:30:15,320 --> 01:30:17,599 Speaker 3: bit of obviously at forty to one, it's a stretch. 1694 01:30:17,640 --> 01:30:20,839 Speaker 3: But I think it's a stretch for Kenny Pickett because 1695 01:30:21,280 --> 01:30:24,080 Speaker 3: if I were to have a dark horse MVP candidate, 1696 01:30:24,880 --> 01:30:28,280 Speaker 3: it would be TJ. Watt and right of you know, 1697 01:30:28,600 --> 01:30:31,080 Speaker 3: we talked so much about quarterbacks, but so if you 1698 01:30:31,160 --> 01:30:34,320 Speaker 3: went outside of the quarterback position, like if the Steelers 1699 01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:36,360 Speaker 3: are good, I think it's going to be because their 1700 01:30:36,400 --> 01:30:40,519 Speaker 3: defense is much improved from a year ago when he 1701 01:30:40,600 --> 01:30:45,639 Speaker 3: missed time. And I just I you mentioned the weapons 1702 01:30:45,680 --> 01:30:47,759 Speaker 3: that they do have, and they do have them, Deonton 1703 01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:51,800 Speaker 3: Johnson and George Pickens, Friarmouth. You mentioned the tight end, 1704 01:30:51,920 --> 01:30:53,720 Speaker 3: Naji Harris. We don't know how the backfield is going 1705 01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:56,360 Speaker 3: to completely start out, but Naji Harris is the number one. 1706 01:30:58,120 --> 01:31:02,439 Speaker 3: There's the possibility. But yeah, I like, yeah Wilson more 1707 01:31:02,479 --> 01:31:03,160 Speaker 3: than Pickett. 1708 01:31:03,320 --> 01:31:08,120 Speaker 1: Wilson's interesting for what because if Denver performs, I mean 1709 01:31:08,200 --> 01:31:11,760 Speaker 1: that means they're battling the Chiefs, which means you start 1710 01:31:11,800 --> 01:31:14,880 Speaker 1: getting the media buzz because everybody loved Russell until they 1711 01:31:14,920 --> 01:31:17,720 Speaker 1: didn't until it became in vogue, not to It's kind 1712 01:31:17,720 --> 01:31:21,600 Speaker 1: of like Aaron Rodgers. Everybody loved Aaron Rodgers and dismissed 1713 01:31:21,680 --> 01:31:26,200 Speaker 1: anything playoff Aaron Rodgers and bad decisions and not being 1714 01:31:27,240 --> 01:31:30,680 Speaker 1: taking leadership and just saying, hey, Lafleura, I got this 1715 01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:34,360 Speaker 1: a couple of times and leading the losses and then 1716 01:31:34,360 --> 01:31:35,960 Speaker 1: all of a sudden it became in vogue to hate him, 1717 01:31:36,200 --> 01:31:38,240 Speaker 1: so they did, and Russell's the same guy. I wonder 1718 01:31:38,280 --> 01:31:41,760 Speaker 1: if they flip back because there is I think a 1719 01:31:41,960 --> 01:31:47,320 Speaker 1: general liking of Sean Payton, yes, I think, and a 1720 01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:50,560 Speaker 1: respect for Sean Payton. So if he can right the 1721 01:31:50,680 --> 01:31:55,080 Speaker 1: ship and get Russell back towards a winning trajectory, not 1722 01:31:55,240 --> 01:32:00,320 Speaker 1: to mention the hey you're battling the Chiefs and maybe 1723 01:32:00,720 --> 01:32:04,360 Speaker 1: winning that division, right, if you can supplant them there, 1724 01:32:04,760 --> 01:32:08,000 Speaker 1: that would be enough I think to give Russell an opportunity. 1725 01:32:08,200 --> 01:32:10,400 Speaker 3: I think you're absolutely right. And I also don't see 1726 01:32:10,400 --> 01:32:16,320 Speaker 3: anybody on that roster that you could give the MVP too. 1727 01:32:16,560 --> 01:32:18,800 Speaker 1: No, I That's why I liked your TJ. Watt. Yeah, 1728 01:32:18,840 --> 01:32:21,800 Speaker 1: going to Pittsburgh, right, I mean, and then you're looking 1729 01:32:21,880 --> 01:32:24,400 Speaker 1: at Justin Jefferson was on the list. He's one hundred 1730 01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:26,800 Speaker 1: to one again and going owing to the fact that 1731 01:32:26,880 --> 01:32:28,640 Speaker 1: it's generally a quarterback award. 1732 01:32:28,680 --> 01:32:31,800 Speaker 3: Yes, it's difficult to find the non quarterbacks because you 1733 01:32:32,040 --> 01:32:34,559 Speaker 3: have to think that a team is going to have success, 1734 01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:38,280 Speaker 3: and if it's a non quarterback, someone would have to 1735 01:32:38,400 --> 01:32:39,800 Speaker 3: have just a monster year. 1736 01:32:40,080 --> 01:32:42,639 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill gets his two thousand, Yeah exactly. 1737 01:32:42,680 --> 01:32:44,800 Speaker 3: I wasn't gonna say Tyreek Kill, but I'm glad that 1738 01:32:44,880 --> 01:32:47,519 Speaker 3: you did, because I was going to use that number 1739 01:32:47,600 --> 01:32:50,640 Speaker 3: as an example for a wide receiver or for a 1740 01:32:50,760 --> 01:32:54,320 Speaker 3: running back and a sack number. You get twenty two 1741 01:32:54,360 --> 01:32:57,439 Speaker 3: to twenty three sacks, and your team is good, and 1742 01:32:57,520 --> 01:33:00,439 Speaker 3: your team makes the playoffs, and maybe it's led by 1743 01:33:00,479 --> 01:33:03,880 Speaker 3: the defense. There's an opportunity there. So yeah, I like 1744 01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:06,640 Speaker 3: those I like those names. You see the difficulty, You 1745 01:33:06,680 --> 01:33:10,320 Speaker 3: would think someone like Jamar Chase, he says, Joe Burrows's quarterback. 1746 01:33:10,439 --> 01:33:10,920 Speaker 3: That's it, you know. 1747 01:33:11,120 --> 01:33:11,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1748 01:33:11,600 --> 01:33:14,639 Speaker 3: And so when you have Tyreek Killer, you have Justin 1749 01:33:14,720 --> 01:33:18,040 Speaker 3: Jefferson meant no disrespect to a tongue of my lower 1750 01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:21,240 Speaker 3: Kirk cousins. It just you feel like it's easier to 1751 01:33:21,280 --> 01:33:23,320 Speaker 3: give it, maybe to the wide receivers than it is 1752 01:33:23,360 --> 01:33:25,080 Speaker 3: for the quarterbacks. He may not think are as good. 1753 01:33:25,240 --> 01:33:27,120 Speaker 1: Now, there's one more name that I wanted to bring 1754 01:33:27,240 --> 01:33:29,160 Speaker 1: up that was part of the list, and certainly something 1755 01:33:29,920 --> 01:33:32,960 Speaker 1: we talked about. Yesterday. My daughter had a scrimmage and 1756 01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:35,200 Speaker 1: a guy walked up and it was a you know, 1757 01:33:35,680 --> 01:33:38,920 Speaker 1: self effacing Detroit Lions shirt that he was wearing. So 1758 01:33:39,040 --> 01:33:41,560 Speaker 1: we started talking football as we're you know, waiting for 1759 01:33:41,680 --> 01:33:46,920 Speaker 1: the scrimmage to begin. Jared Goff is at sixteen to one. Wow, 1760 01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:52,719 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions popular team for popular people right now given 1761 01:33:52,760 --> 01:33:55,360 Speaker 1: the division. And we'll get into Jordan Love and the 1762 01:33:55,960 --> 01:34:00,439 Speaker 1: Packers in earnest next hour. But Minnesota, how much do 1763 01:34:00,479 --> 01:34:03,720 Speaker 1: you love or hate the Bears? Are the Bears and 1764 01:34:03,840 --> 01:34:06,639 Speaker 1: then Green Bay? There's a giant question mark. 1765 01:34:06,680 --> 01:34:09,560 Speaker 3: I'll say this, I'm not surprised that Jared Goff is 1766 01:34:09,800 --> 01:34:12,840 Speaker 3: on the list. I'm just surprised that he's sixteen to one. 1767 01:34:14,360 --> 01:34:17,960 Speaker 3: That was the one that like that surprises me that 1768 01:34:18,400 --> 01:34:20,519 Speaker 3: I because I would have thought Mike twenty to one, 1769 01:34:20,720 --> 01:34:22,720 Speaker 3: thirty to one. I know, we think the Lions are 1770 01:34:22,760 --> 01:34:27,920 Speaker 3: going to be a decent team right now. Everybody's trendy 1771 01:34:27,960 --> 01:34:30,680 Speaker 3: pick to win the NFC North. I think that we 1772 01:34:30,840 --> 01:34:33,200 Speaker 3: understand that we expect them to be a playoff team. 1773 01:34:33,320 --> 01:34:36,599 Speaker 3: They're playing on opening night against the Chiefs, but man, 1774 01:34:36,680 --> 01:34:40,800 Speaker 3: that's still it's it's it's a simple formula, just tells 1775 01:34:40,800 --> 01:34:43,320 Speaker 3: you if your team wins and your quarterback plays well 1776 01:34:43,400 --> 01:34:46,479 Speaker 3: and has numbers, he'll be in the MVP discussion. That's 1777 01:34:46,520 --> 01:34:47,120 Speaker 3: what that tells me. 1778 01:34:47,280 --> 01:34:49,360 Speaker 1: I just like the potential for chaos that comes with 1779 01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:51,920 Speaker 1: the numbers. Now I went by what they put up 1780 01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:55,680 Speaker 1: as their odds. I'm not quite sure what source they 1781 01:34:55,840 --> 01:34:58,719 Speaker 1: use for that, so using that directly from the article, 1782 01:34:58,800 --> 01:35:01,120 Speaker 1: so I don't think they just kind of threw stuff 1783 01:35:01,200 --> 01:35:05,280 Speaker 1: up against a wall. But even at sixteen to one, 1784 01:35:05,439 --> 01:35:09,080 Speaker 1: just to he's into the conversation right because of what 1785 01:35:09,200 --> 01:35:12,439 Speaker 1: the NFC is for this year and the expectations for 1786 01:35:12,520 --> 01:35:13,439 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. 1787 01:35:13,680 --> 01:35:17,360 Speaker 3: I saw another one that Joe Banner picked for the 1788 01:35:17,439 --> 01:35:22,519 Speaker 3: thirty third team of Trey Lance. And the interesting thing 1789 01:35:22,600 --> 01:35:26,960 Speaker 3: though about that is if Trey Lance does start this season, 1790 01:35:27,479 --> 01:35:31,559 Speaker 3: if the forty nine ers are poor, they're not off 1791 01:35:31,600 --> 01:35:34,000 Speaker 3: to a good start, and then Brock Perdy comes back 1792 01:35:34,040 --> 01:35:36,360 Speaker 3: and is able to play and leads them, does that 1793 01:35:36,439 --> 01:35:39,519 Speaker 3: put perty into the conversation? Are there too many guys there? 1794 01:35:39,600 --> 01:35:42,920 Speaker 3: Does Christian McCaffrey maybe end up being that guy again 1795 01:35:43,040 --> 01:35:46,400 Speaker 3: success with the team. But if there is a quarterback 1796 01:35:46,560 --> 01:35:50,080 Speaker 3: change depending on how the games went when Perdy wasn't playing, 1797 01:35:50,520 --> 01:35:53,680 Speaker 3: could determine maybe who the Niners representative would be. 1798 01:35:53,920 --> 01:35:58,120 Speaker 1: Or does Lance even beat out Sam Sam Sam, Yes, Darnold. 1799 01:35:58,120 --> 01:36:00,759 Speaker 3: Nick Bosa could be another guy talking forty well yeah. 1800 01:36:00,640 --> 01:36:03,280 Speaker 1: When you talk about big time players and trying to 1801 01:36:03,400 --> 01:36:07,400 Speaker 1: find uh a non qb Bosa certainly gets into the mix. 1802 01:36:07,560 --> 01:36:10,000 Speaker 1: He's Dan Byer, I'm my Garment. It's Fox Sports Sunday 1803 01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:12,920 Speaker 1: here live from the tire Act dot Com studios and 1804 01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:15,720 Speaker 1: coming up next.

You 1842 01:38:32,960 --> 01:38:36,560 Speaker 1: had all of these texts, Ilo, do you have a 1843 01:38:36,760 --> 01:38:38,200 Speaker 1: sampling for the good people. 1844 01:38:39,720 --> 01:38:47,960 Speaker 4: It's it just boggles the mind, among among others, and 1845 01:38:48,120 --> 01:38:52,160 Speaker 4: I quote, hey, don't text stuff like that to the 1846 01:38:52,320 --> 01:38:59,799 Speaker 4: school phone. Unquote, don't don't search that on your work computer. 1847 01:39:01,160 --> 01:39:04,160 Speaker 3: That's like the equivalent of the of the of an affair, right, 1848 01:39:04,200 --> 01:39:05,840 Speaker 3: And it's like, don't call the home phone. 1849 01:39:07,320 --> 01:39:12,080 Speaker 4: Another quote all about the Benjamins and other we trying 1850 01:39:12,120 --> 01:39:14,040 Speaker 4: to do some epic bleep. 1851 01:39:14,720 --> 01:39:15,760 Speaker 7: And another one. 1852 01:39:16,080 --> 01:39:19,840 Speaker 4: I mean that's okay, man, I mean perhaps they're talking 1853 01:39:19,880 --> 01:39:24,320 Speaker 4: about success on on punt coverage. I And yet another 1854 01:39:24,360 --> 01:39:28,439 Speaker 4: one and I quote, ain't nothing we need to discuss 1855 01:39:28,600 --> 01:39:33,120 Speaker 4: be on that work phone. And that's just a that's 1856 01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:33,960 Speaker 4: just a sample. 1857 01:39:34,600 --> 01:39:37,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, So you know, you start getting into just the 1858 01:39:37,520 --> 01:39:40,320 Speaker 1: brazenness of it. And let's face it, you know the 1859 01:39:40,680 --> 01:39:45,479 Speaker 1: n A nil discussion. We all use the catch all 1860 01:39:45,560 --> 01:39:49,120 Speaker 1: of the wild West as rules and what the n 1861 01:39:49,200 --> 01:39:52,960 Speaker 1: C douale A still has power over and what's kind 1862 01:39:53,000 --> 01:39:56,200 Speaker 1: of gone into some big gray area as things get 1863 01:39:56,280 --> 01:40:00,880 Speaker 1: sorted out. Are there payments to players still still something 1864 01:40:00,960 --> 01:40:03,240 Speaker 1: that's a no no right when we talk about the 1865 01:40:03,560 --> 01:40:07,200 Speaker 1: coaches and direct pain along the way. So at eight 1866 01:40:07,280 --> 01:40:11,160 Speaker 1: million dollar fine, no bowlman, And then I thought this 1867 01:40:11,360 --> 01:40:15,040 Speaker 1: was the most interesting DAN up since Tennessee were really 1868 01:40:15,160 --> 01:40:18,120 Speaker 1: forthcoming and all this. When we talk about scholarship production, 1869 01:40:18,439 --> 01:40:22,080 Speaker 1: they basically got the times served when it when it 1870 01:40:22,160 --> 01:40:24,360 Speaker 1: all breaks down, So for this year and for the 1871 01:40:24,439 --> 01:40:29,360 Speaker 1: next several years, minimal scholarship damage that comes into place. 1872 01:40:29,439 --> 01:40:32,240 Speaker 1: So the team that's in place, new coaching staff and 1873 01:40:32,320 --> 01:40:36,960 Speaker 1: a great year last year, that momentum gets to keep rolling. 1874 01:40:37,360 --> 01:40:39,640 Speaker 1: And the no bullban that used to be the like 1875 01:40:39,760 --> 01:40:42,040 Speaker 1: giving out candy. It's like, you know what, You're gonna 1876 01:40:42,040 --> 01:40:44,360 Speaker 1: take a bowl year or two off, so you know 1877 01:40:44,479 --> 01:40:48,360 Speaker 1: what that you'll you'll learn really fast. So like reading 1878 01:40:48,439 --> 01:40:51,599 Speaker 1: all this two hundred plus infractions, all of this eight 1879 01:40:51,680 --> 01:40:54,360 Speaker 1: million dollars, Okay, so you get back some of what 1880 01:40:54,479 --> 01:40:56,280 Speaker 1: you got from the Orange Bowl last year. 1881 01:40:56,800 --> 01:40:59,000 Speaker 3: Sure, right, I mean, that's that's all that fine, But 1882 01:40:59,160 --> 01:41:01,720 Speaker 3: it is still in terms of the history and what 1883 01:41:02,280 --> 01:41:06,040 Speaker 3: has been handed out is the largest that we have seen, 1884 01:41:06,520 --> 01:41:10,400 Speaker 3: and I think that that's where what is most important. Now, 1885 01:41:10,479 --> 01:41:14,280 Speaker 3: yesterday the joke was the eleven wins that they wins. 1886 01:41:14,520 --> 01:41:18,559 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, but all eleven of those two years. 1887 01:41:19,160 --> 01:41:22,839 Speaker 3: The great things. The great thing though about this story 1888 01:41:23,680 --> 01:41:27,519 Speaker 3: is I think it's shedding light on what is happening 1889 01:41:27,600 --> 01:41:31,360 Speaker 3: in the future. I think the no bowl ban is 1890 01:41:31,439 --> 01:41:34,519 Speaker 3: a big deal. And the problem with the no bowl 1891 01:41:34,640 --> 01:41:39,040 Speaker 3: ban is we use the phrase bowl because it's been synonymous. 1892 01:41:39,080 --> 01:41:42,240 Speaker 3: It's been with college football. Yes, it's what it is. 1893 01:41:42,479 --> 01:41:45,479 Speaker 3: You can't go to a bowl game. Well, that changes 1894 01:41:45,640 --> 01:41:51,160 Speaker 3: next season, and no bowl ban actually should mean postseason ban, 1895 01:41:51,680 --> 01:41:55,240 Speaker 3: so not being able to play in your conference championship game, 1896 01:41:55,880 --> 01:41:58,280 Speaker 3: not being able to play in a bowl game or 1897 01:41:59,080 --> 01:42:02,760 Speaker 3: the college football playoff, and that's you know, that's the 1898 01:42:03,960 --> 01:42:07,280 Speaker 3: one of the bigger deals with this is I think Mike, 1899 01:42:07,320 --> 01:42:10,360 Speaker 3: you're going to see a trend if there are violations 1900 01:42:11,080 --> 01:42:13,880 Speaker 3: of the ncuale A not wanting to hand down these 1901 01:42:14,080 --> 01:42:21,120 Speaker 3: postseason violations or you know, postseason bands. Because of the 1902 01:42:21,320 --> 01:42:24,320 Speaker 3: expanded playoff, now you have more schools in the picture, 1903 01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:27,559 Speaker 3: and to tell a school that they can't make the playoff, 1904 01:42:28,320 --> 01:42:31,560 Speaker 3: you would say, well, isn't that punishment enough? Yes, but 1905 01:42:31,720 --> 01:42:34,920 Speaker 3: I think of how valuable it will be to make 1906 01:42:35,080 --> 01:42:39,759 Speaker 3: that twelve team playoff that it is almost too harsh. 1907 01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:42,599 Speaker 3: We've heard that they don't want to give the death 1908 01:42:42,640 --> 01:42:46,720 Speaker 3: penalty out again because you can't recover from it, or 1909 01:42:46,760 --> 01:42:49,360 Speaker 3: it took so long, you know, for SMU to recover 1910 01:42:49,520 --> 01:42:52,760 Speaker 3: from getting the death penalty. So when you see like 1911 01:42:52,840 --> 01:42:55,840 Speaker 3: the sanctions that schools have to deal with that you know, 1912 01:42:56,080 --> 01:42:58,880 Speaker 3: Penn State and what they ended up having to deal with, 1913 01:43:00,040 --> 01:43:03,480 Speaker 3: you didn't want to give them the death penalty because 1914 01:43:03,520 --> 01:43:06,559 Speaker 3: of even though those the point being then we're going 1915 01:43:06,640 --> 01:43:08,040 Speaker 3: to do what SMU was going to do. Just leave 1916 01:43:08,040 --> 01:43:10,000 Speaker 3: it at that. But now what you've seen is you've 1917 01:43:10,040 --> 01:43:12,599 Speaker 3: seen a lack of a postseason ban and you've seen 1918 01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:16,040 Speaker 3: an enormous fine. And I think that's what we're going 1919 01:43:16,200 --> 01:43:18,439 Speaker 3: to see later on because I just don't think that 1920 01:43:19,400 --> 01:43:22,439 Speaker 3: schools can afford to be held out of the College 1921 01:43:22,479 --> 01:43:25,559 Speaker 3: Football Playoff because of how valuable it is. It's one 1922 01:43:25,680 --> 01:43:28,680 Speaker 3: thing to give an NCAA tournament ban you have a 1923 01:43:28,760 --> 01:43:32,320 Speaker 3: field to sixty four, now sixty eight. It's it's different 1924 01:43:32,400 --> 01:43:36,040 Speaker 3: when there are just so few spots. Tennessee in two 1925 01:43:36,120 --> 01:43:39,639 Speaker 3: years absolutely could contend as one of those twelve schools, 1926 01:43:40,120 --> 01:43:45,920 Speaker 3: and to put a ban down for that or what 1927 01:43:46,040 --> 01:43:47,920 Speaker 3: would be the upcoming season in the final year of 1928 01:43:47,960 --> 01:43:51,520 Speaker 3: the four team when we think they could be in consideration, 1929 01:43:51,640 --> 01:43:54,200 Speaker 3: you know they oh they are pieces lost. It just 1930 01:43:54,439 --> 01:43:56,880 Speaker 3: it signifies something to me that it's changing that we 1931 01:43:56,920 --> 01:43:59,920 Speaker 3: could see eight million, ten million, fifteen million dollar fines 1932 01:44:00,320 --> 01:44:02,120 Speaker 3: if the o are other allegations. I just don't think 1933 01:44:02,120 --> 01:44:05,040 Speaker 3: you're gonna see postseason bands because of the College Football Playoff. 1934 01:44:05,160 --> 01:44:09,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, when sixteen and nineteen during his three seasons, they 1935 01:44:09,320 --> 01:44:12,840 Speaker 1: had a Gator Bowl appearance. After twenty nineteen, hypel comes 1936 01:44:12,880 --> 01:44:16,000 Speaker 1: in goes eleven and two last year, and the two things. 1937 01:44:16,040 --> 01:44:19,200 Speaker 1: As you go through with the way the dollars of 1938 01:44:19,280 --> 01:44:22,240 Speaker 1: it all, I guess the final total will be about 1939 01:44:22,320 --> 01:44:26,000 Speaker 1: nine million dollars that they lose, but they get they 1940 01:44:26,040 --> 01:44:30,080 Speaker 1: get a lot of love for the exemplary Exemplary cooperation 1941 01:44:30,800 --> 01:44:35,559 Speaker 1: was a phrase used in the in the summary statement 1942 01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:37,040 Speaker 1: from the NCAA. 1943 01:44:37,479 --> 01:44:42,759 Speaker 3: What I do like is they're like, the fine hurts 1944 01:44:42,800 --> 01:44:45,040 Speaker 3: the school, and the fine likely hurts some of the 1945 01:44:45,080 --> 01:44:48,120 Speaker 3: people that are still there. It doesn't necessarily hurt the 1946 01:44:48,320 --> 01:44:53,840 Speaker 3: current program, and I'm not sure how much carryover it 1947 01:44:53,960 --> 01:44:55,960 Speaker 3: is or the kids and the kids in that program. 1948 01:44:56,080 --> 01:44:59,280 Speaker 3: The scholarship you mentioned where they were like eighteen kids 1949 01:44:59,439 --> 01:45:04,240 Speaker 3: found to violations or violations involving eighteen players that were 1950 01:45:04,320 --> 01:45:07,559 Speaker 3: ruled in eligible, and you lose twenty six scholarships over 1951 01:45:07,880 --> 01:45:08,760 Speaker 3: five years. 1952 01:45:09,200 --> 01:45:12,000 Speaker 1: But they said sixteen of them are already done, right, 1953 01:45:12,080 --> 01:45:14,400 Speaker 1: So it was twenty eight and sixteen just to put 1954 01:45:14,439 --> 01:45:18,760 Speaker 1: the point on it, But like it's at least two 1955 01:45:18,840 --> 01:45:20,720 Speaker 1: per years the way they did it, So like if 1956 01:45:20,720 --> 01:45:23,000 Speaker 1: you really wanted to just hamper yourself for one year, 1957 01:45:23,320 --> 01:45:25,880 Speaker 1: you could pretty much, you know, swallow the poison pill 1958 01:45:26,120 --> 01:45:28,760 Speaker 1: and be back to business as usual for the rest 1959 01:45:28,800 --> 01:45:31,840 Speaker 1: of your time. And I think this is also a 1960 01:45:31,920 --> 01:45:35,680 Speaker 1: statement of NCAA. What control do we really have? We 1961 01:45:35,760 --> 01:45:41,240 Speaker 1: have the playoff, which you really yeah in the large 1962 01:45:41,680 --> 01:45:46,000 Speaker 1: the larger world, I mean dollars, Yeah, eight million dollars 1963 01:45:46,040 --> 01:45:49,559 Speaker 1: will be paid by one or two boosters when it's 1964 01:45:49,600 --> 01:45:51,920 Speaker 1: all said and done. In a lot of these cases, 1965 01:45:52,080 --> 01:45:56,240 Speaker 1: right to and if you vacate wins, does anybody cared? 1966 01:45:56,800 --> 01:45:58,600 Speaker 3: Nobody cares, So you can always do that, do. 1967 01:45:58,680 --> 01:46:01,040 Speaker 1: The back dating. It will take away. That's where I 1968 01:46:01,080 --> 01:46:04,720 Speaker 1: think we're getting to just like the Northwestern administrators, toothless, 1969 01:46:05,600 --> 01:46:06,479 Speaker 1: lacking conviction. 1970 01:46:07,040 --> 01:46:08,760 Speaker 3: I think it's I think it's a shift in how 1971 01:46:08,840 --> 01:46:10,479 Speaker 3: schools are going to be penalized. And I think that 1972 01:46:10,560 --> 01:46:14,400 Speaker 3: we saw it in this this Tennessee Uh, this Tennessee penalty. 1973 01:46:14,200 --> 01:46:16,840 Speaker 1: Good Friday news dump?

As a lot of these 1980 01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:34,960 Speaker 1: rules start to change and then state to state how 1981 01:46:35,040 --> 01:46:38,360 Speaker 1: stuff gets implemented program to program, try to do the 1982 01:46:38,479 --> 01:46:41,760 Speaker 1: oversight on that when you've always already had such a 1983 01:46:41,920 --> 01:46:45,400 Speaker 1: horrible hold on your old rules that we're supposed to 1984 01:46:45,479 --> 01:46:48,680 Speaker 1: be so positive and the number of these investigations that 1985 01:46:48,880 --> 01:46:54,599 Speaker 1: generally take five years. So the kids that get get 1986 01:46:54,680 --> 01:46:59,360 Speaker 1: any uh issue with penalties were high school freshmen or 1987 01:46:59,400 --> 01:47:03,280 Speaker 1: eighth grader when any of those infractions went down.

He's an expert marksman on the 2099 01:53:28,880 --> 01:53:31,840 Speaker 1: basketball court and now he's taken it to the greens. 2100 01:53:33,160 --> 01:53:36,799 Speaker 1: Let's hear some of the greatness of one of the large, 2101 01:53:37,880 --> 01:53:40,800 Speaker 1: long standing heroes in the NBA. We'll get to it 2102 01:53:40,880 --> 01:53:44,880 Speaker 1: in a moment, but Steph Curry currently ahead. When we 2103 01:53:45,000 --> 01:53:50,560 Speaker 1: look at the American Century Championship and lead leaderboard, and 2104 01:53:50,600 --> 01:53:53,839 Speaker 1: you've got a lot of legends across sports and sports 2105 01:53:54,000 --> 01:53:57,360 Speaker 1: entertainment down near the bottom, I got them, But up 2106 01:53:57,439 --> 01:53:59,240 Speaker 1: top you've got Steph Curry putting on a show. 2107 01:53:59,479 --> 01:54:03,000 Speaker 3: So there there is a large part of the golfing 2108 01:54:03,080 --> 01:54:07,360 Speaker 3: community that hates this tournament. I for some reason. I 2109 01:54:07,400 --> 01:54:09,240 Speaker 3: don't know if it's just because you can count on 2110 01:54:09,320 --> 01:54:11,880 Speaker 3: it every year, Mike, but there is something we talk 2111 01:54:11,920 --> 01:54:15,000 Speaker 3: about sports calendar a lot like and this used to 2112 01:54:15,080 --> 01:54:20,400 Speaker 3: be held opposite the Open Championship. Now the NFL schedule 2113 01:54:20,439 --> 01:54:23,040 Speaker 3: has changed a little, the golf schedules changed a little. 2114 01:54:23,080 --> 01:54:27,280 Speaker 3: Now it's done the week before. But I, for some reason, 2115 01:54:27,600 --> 01:54:30,400 Speaker 3: I just enjoy it, don't It's not great golf. Maybe 2116 01:54:30,479 --> 01:54:32,840 Speaker 3: that's part of it as well, but I do find 2117 01:54:32,880 --> 01:54:34,640 Speaker 3: it intriguing. You a lot of times you have the 2118 01:54:34,720 --> 01:54:37,520 Speaker 3: same names near the top, and it changes throughout the years. 2119 01:54:37,560 --> 01:54:41,280 Speaker 3: But Jack Wagner's there, Tony Romo not as high up 2120 01:54:41,400 --> 01:54:45,040 Speaker 3: this year. But now you have Steph Curry on top 2121 01:54:45,120 --> 01:54:49,960 Speaker 3: of the leader board, and it begs the interesting question 2122 01:54:50,880 --> 01:54:54,080 Speaker 3: on really how much this would mean to Steph Curry, 2123 01:54:54,080 --> 01:54:56,280 Speaker 3: because I think it's a big, big deal to Steph. 2124 01:54:56,360 --> 01:54:59,440 Speaker 1: Now you had a big deal in round three. Yet 2125 01:54:59,600 --> 01:55:02,360 Speaker 1: this may all the highlight reels and probably the fastest 2126 01:55:02,360 --> 01:55:03,680 Speaker 1: you've seen him running quite a while. 2127 01:55:04,160 --> 01:55:06,480 Speaker 3: It's obvious he can really play. 2128 01:55:09,160 --> 01:55:11,640 Speaker 1: Boy. That's just right at it if it gets there? 2129 01:55:12,520 --> 01:55:13,040 Speaker 3: How about that? 2130 01:55:14,960 --> 01:55:15,920 Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? 2131 01:55:18,560 --> 01:55:19,520 Speaker 8: Are you kidding? 2132 01:55:19,760 --> 01:55:20,600 Speaker 3: Breaking ace? 2133 01:55:22,120 --> 01:55:22,280 Speaker 1: Hey? 2134 01:55:22,440 --> 01:55:23,560 Speaker 3: Hole in one? Well? 2135 01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:24,480 Speaker 1: Hey, rog? 2136 01:55:25,080 --> 01:55:27,920 Speaker 3: All I'll say is this. I think he pulled the 2137 01:55:28,000 --> 01:55:34,480 Speaker 3: right clock one one bounce and then oh my goodness. 2138 01:55:34,200 --> 01:55:37,960 Speaker 1: Greg one hundred and fifty two yards on number seven 2139 01:55:38,240 --> 01:55:41,280 Speaker 1: for the ace and then he sprinted down the fairway. 2140 01:55:41,520 --> 01:55:44,040 Speaker 1: And what's great about this tournament? Right there? There's a 2141 01:55:44,120 --> 01:55:46,879 Speaker 1: lot of interviews, a lot of interaction with the fans 2142 01:55:47,200 --> 01:55:49,640 Speaker 1: with Curry. One of the other highlights is they have 2143 01:55:49,760 --> 01:55:52,480 Speaker 1: these basketball hoops that are up and it's like they 2144 01:55:52,560 --> 01:55:55,240 Speaker 1: pass him a ball as he's walking by, and he 2145 01:55:55,440 --> 01:55:59,440 Speaker 1: pulled up and drained the giant you know, fifty five 2146 01:55:59,600 --> 01:56:02,400 Speaker 1: foot repointer whatever the measurement is. And then he did 2147 01:56:02,480 --> 01:56:05,440 Speaker 1: went over the back of his head that just was 2148 01:56:05,560 --> 01:56:08,120 Speaker 1: a little bit too strong, so it hit the back eyron. 2149 01:56:08,440 --> 01:56:11,040 Speaker 1: But just having fun with it. I know, all the interaction. 2150 01:56:11,160 --> 01:56:13,480 Speaker 1: For years it was Bill Murray was the you know, 2151 01:56:13,600 --> 01:56:15,560 Speaker 1: the the guy that was at the lead. But you 2152 01:56:15,720 --> 01:56:20,800 Speaker 1: talk about all the Jack Wagner legendary actor of soap 2153 01:56:20,880 --> 01:56:24,960 Speaker 1: operas and well nighttime soap operas sometimes too, and made 2154 01:56:25,000 --> 01:56:29,560 Speaker 1: for TV movies. You mentioned Tony Romo. You look at 2155 01:56:29,640 --> 01:56:33,200 Speaker 1: John Smoltz, guys that really when we talked about their 2156 01:56:33,320 --> 01:56:36,560 Speaker 1: post playing careers, was always all right, they'll go and 2157 01:56:36,640 --> 01:56:40,720 Speaker 1: they'll try to do golf as you know, perhaps their 2158 01:56:40,840 --> 01:56:43,240 Speaker 1: their love Senior Tour and all those kind of things. 2159 01:56:43,320 --> 01:56:46,600 Speaker 1: And then Steph Curry comes in and owing I think 2160 01:56:46,640 --> 01:56:50,240 Speaker 1: a little bit to that. Marksmanship in the basketball world 2161 01:56:51,000 --> 01:56:54,120 Speaker 1: doesn't strike me as a guy that does anything just haphazard. 2162 01:56:54,480 --> 01:56:58,960 Speaker 3: It also helps you know that Steph is Slim's got 2163 01:56:59,120 --> 01:57:02,080 Speaker 3: good race of motion and the golf game fits, and 2164 01:57:02,160 --> 01:57:04,160 Speaker 3: it's something that he's done for quite a while. Even 2165 01:57:04,200 --> 01:57:07,200 Speaker 3: teed it up at a PGA Tour event a few 2166 01:57:07,280 --> 01:57:10,840 Speaker 3: years ago, and you know, it was respectable. Like he 2167 01:57:11,120 --> 01:57:14,520 Speaker 3: obviously didn't make the cut, but did not embarrass himself. 2168 01:57:14,880 --> 01:57:16,920 Speaker 3: But I think this is a big deal. Got eight points. 2169 01:57:16,960 --> 01:57:20,280 Speaker 3: It's the different scoring system. It's not just you get 2170 01:57:20,360 --> 01:57:22,480 Speaker 3: points for a par. You get a point for a par, 2171 01:57:22,680 --> 01:57:25,000 Speaker 3: three for a birdie, six for an ego. You get 2172 01:57:25,040 --> 01:57:26,560 Speaker 3: eight for a hole in one. So you got eight 2173 01:57:26,640 --> 01:57:29,040 Speaker 3: points on that hole, which has helped him vault into 2174 01:57:29,080 --> 01:57:33,200 Speaker 3: the lead. Looking at all of Steph's accomplishments, four time 2175 01:57:33,320 --> 01:57:39,000 Speaker 3: NBA champion, MVP of the League, twice All Star Game, 2176 01:57:39,240 --> 01:57:45,920 Speaker 3: MVP Finals MVP, all of those are great awards. I 2177 01:57:46,160 --> 01:57:48,840 Speaker 3: think he would trade Mike. I think he would trade 2178 01:57:48,840 --> 01:57:51,600 Speaker 3: the All Star Game MVP. I think he'd trade the 2179 01:57:51,640 --> 01:57:56,040 Speaker 3: Western Conference Finals MVP. I think he would trade any 2180 01:57:56,120 --> 01:58:01,360 Speaker 3: of his All NBA second Team awards for winning this. 2181 01:58:02,960 --> 01:58:06,600 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, no, give me my regular MVPs and 2182 01:58:06,760 --> 01:58:09,080 Speaker 1: my titles. You can cake take pretty and give me 2183 01:58:09,160 --> 01:58:11,800 Speaker 1: my anything I've earned as a member of Team USA. 2184 01:58:12,200 --> 01:58:16,960 Speaker 1: Take everything, you take everything else, you know, because to 2185 01:58:17,080 --> 01:58:21,480 Speaker 1: go and dominate, even if for just one weekend amongst 2186 01:58:21,560 --> 01:58:24,480 Speaker 1: all your peers, right, because that's what we're talking about, right, 2187 01:58:24,520 --> 01:58:29,200 Speaker 1: You've got you know, all celebrities and other athletes that 2188 01:58:29,360 --> 01:58:32,080 Speaker 1: you go and you run them over. Because what's what's 2189 01:58:32,120 --> 01:58:37,560 Speaker 1: always the thing about Steph that gets brought up? His size, power, strength, 2190 01:58:37,840 --> 01:58:41,040 Speaker 1: all of those things. And here it's just about all right, 2191 01:58:41,240 --> 01:58:43,680 Speaker 1: how well can I can I place the ball? How 2192 01:58:43,720 --> 01:58:46,000 Speaker 1: well can I hit it? How true is my swing? 2193 01:58:46,520 --> 01:58:49,200 Speaker 1: And to do that over a full weekend, obviously aided 2194 01:58:49,280 --> 01:58:53,480 Speaker 1: greatly by that ace, but enough to win this? Yeah, 2195 01:58:53,480 --> 01:58:55,400 Speaker 1: I think he'll take that because he gets to lord 2196 01:58:55,480 --> 01:58:56,600 Speaker 1: over all these guys too. 2197 01:58:57,000 --> 01:59:00,760 Speaker 3: Charles Barkley is currently in a tie for eightieth with 2198 01:59:01,360 --> 01:59:08,920 Speaker 3: the PUNKYQB DeVante Adams, and I believe is John O. 2199 01:59:09,040 --> 01:59:09,839 Speaker 3: Hurley Peterman? 2200 01:59:10,160 --> 01:59:14,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, so Peterman, Peterman still getting after it.

He just 2217 02:00:07,960 --> 02:00:12,880 Speaker 3: broke serf broke Djokovic's serve again. So now, if you're Novak, 2218 02:00:13,960 --> 02:00:16,040 Speaker 3: kind of like we thought, maybe al Koraz just let 2219 02:00:16,120 --> 02:00:18,120 Speaker 3: the first set go by when he found out it 2220 02:00:18,160 --> 02:00:19,920 Speaker 3: wasn't gonna be his. I mean, he was down five 2221 02:00:20,040 --> 02:00:23,560 Speaker 3: love in it at one point, so just kind of 2222 02:00:23,840 --> 02:00:26,280 Speaker 3: move on, go to the next set. Obviously, the longer 2223 02:00:26,320 --> 02:00:28,120 Speaker 3: the match goes, the better it is for al Koraz. 2224 02:00:28,440 --> 02:00:31,800 Speaker 3: Just younger guy, he's twenty years old. There's that would 2225 02:00:31,880 --> 02:00:34,040 Speaker 3: seem to favor him. You have to wonder now if 2226 02:00:34,120 --> 02:00:37,400 Speaker 3: Djokovic is saying, all right, I am on the verge 2227 02:00:37,680 --> 02:00:41,160 Speaker 3: of being down two sets to one. How much energy, gee, 2228 02:00:41,200 --> 02:00:44,840 Speaker 3: do I want to spend in this game here As 2229 02:00:44,880 --> 02:00:48,480 Speaker 3: he's about to receive serve from al Karez, Alcarez likely 2230 02:00:48,560 --> 02:00:51,600 Speaker 3: to go up five to one, and then yeah, I 2231 02:00:52,080 --> 02:00:54,720 Speaker 3: wouldn't doubt if you see Djokovic punt on this set 2232 02:00:54,840 --> 02:00:56,440 Speaker 3: and then put all of his eggs in the basket 2233 02:00:56,480 --> 02:00:58,040 Speaker 3: and trying to win that fourth the force of that 2234 02:00:58,120 --> 02:00:58,839 Speaker 3: fifth set. 2235 02:00:58,840 --> 02:01:02,800 Speaker 1: It is certainly that chess match mentally, going back and forth, 2236 02:01:02,840 --> 02:01:06,600 Speaker 1: We've seen some big shots, big moments, and obviously the 2237 02:01:06,720 --> 02:01:09,920 Speaker 1: crowd engagement has been kind of fun to watch here. 2238 02:01:10,000 --> 02:01:12,920 Speaker 1: Obviously we have no sound on here in the Fox 2239 02:01:12,920 --> 02:01:17,280 Speaker 1: Sports radio studios, but just that tension is there with 2240 02:01:17,400 --> 02:01:21,480 Speaker 1: every shot, every rally that they have, and I think 2241 02:01:21,680 --> 02:01:24,080 Speaker 1: for both players, what we've seen is a lot of 2242 02:01:24,120 --> 02:01:29,080 Speaker 1: the yeah, you got me like that healthy respect for 2243 02:01:29,320 --> 02:01:33,640 Speaker 1: the other. I mean, Djokovic twenty three Grand Slam titles, 2244 02:01:34,280 --> 02:01:37,720 Speaker 1: Alcarez has one and looking to get his second in 2245 02:01:37,800 --> 02:01:40,120 Speaker 1: a big spot here with all the eyes on and 2246 02:01:40,600 --> 02:01:44,160 Speaker 1: but there just seems to be that respect that between 2247 02:01:44,240 --> 02:01:47,080 Speaker 1: the two of them, not that it's not always prevalent 2248 02:01:47,120 --> 02:01:50,520 Speaker 1: in matches. I just don't notice that the head nod 2249 02:01:50,600 --> 02:01:54,480 Speaker 1: of all right, good one, you know, two shake kind 2250 02:01:54,560 --> 02:01:57,200 Speaker 1: of things that you would throw over the top in 2251 02:01:57,280 --> 02:01:57,640 Speaker 1: a movie. 2252 02:01:57,840 --> 02:01:59,920 Speaker 3: I think it's I think it's some two guys coming 2253 02:02:00,160 --> 02:02:05,560 Speaker 3: from two different generations. I don't think that Novak Djokovic 2254 02:02:05,640 --> 02:02:10,480 Speaker 3: wants to give away his title is world's best. But 2255 02:02:12,040 --> 02:02:17,320 Speaker 3: this is I mean, there's obviously Algarez's is gonna have 2256 02:02:17,360 --> 02:02:21,160 Speaker 3: a bright career and maybe a very bright career, but 2257 02:02:21,320 --> 02:02:25,400 Speaker 3: it's not like it was the trio of Nadal and Federer, 2258 02:02:25,640 --> 02:02:29,480 Speaker 3: who were great sportsmen and gentlemen. Not to say that 2259 02:02:29,680 --> 02:02:34,600 Speaker 3: Novak isn't, but they're all competitors, and this to me 2260 02:02:34,800 --> 02:02:38,320 Speaker 3: is they're just they're competitors here, but they're different eras. 2261 02:02:38,680 --> 02:02:40,400 Speaker 3: So maybe that's why you see a little bit more 2262 02:02:40,440 --> 02:02:44,360 Speaker 3: of the respect coming from Djokovic. 2263 02:02:44,520 --> 02:02:46,960 Speaker 1: Here we are in the Gentleman's Final. We'll keep you 2264 02:02:47,000 --> 02:02:51,680 Speaker 1: apprized as this continues, Dan, as we we get ready 2265 02:02:51,760 --> 02:02:55,760 Speaker 1: for NFL training camps to open a lot of big storylines. 2266 02:02:55,800 --> 02:02:58,840 Speaker 1: Obviously a lot of hot air and attention paid on 2267 02:02:58,960 --> 02:03:02,720 Speaker 1: what's going on with the New York Football Jets. Anything 2268 02:03:02,800 --> 02:03:08,839 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers says or does under the magnifying glass because 2269 02:03:08,880 --> 02:03:13,080 Speaker 1: of well, it's New York, New Jersey, it's Aaron Rodgers 2270 02:03:13,960 --> 02:03:18,200 Speaker 1: like dislike during the course of the COVID years and 2271 02:03:18,680 --> 02:03:22,640 Speaker 1: the Willie player, won't he play nonsense? Green Bay fans, 2272 02:03:23,240 --> 02:03:26,240 Speaker 1: NFL fans and the world as a whole might have 2273 02:03:26,240 --> 02:03:29,040 Speaker 1: gotten a bit tired Aaron Rodgers, I think would be 2274 02:03:29,080 --> 02:03:32,680 Speaker 1: the kind way to put it. So new energy, hard knocks, 2275 02:03:32,800 --> 02:03:35,240 Speaker 1: all of that come in. Later on he says it 2276 02:03:35,360 --> 02:03:38,600 Speaker 1: was shoved down our throats, like, well, you had four 2277 02:03:38,640 --> 02:03:42,600 Speaker 1: teams to pick from, the other three aren't nearly as compelling. Washington, 2278 02:03:42,640 --> 02:03:44,280 Speaker 1: what do you get? Can we get into any of 2279 02:03:44,320 --> 02:03:47,720 Speaker 1: the boardrooms to talk about the legal problems? Otherwise you 2280 02:03:47,800 --> 02:03:50,720 Speaker 1: don't have a show. I don't want to watch Ron Rivera, 2281 02:03:50,920 --> 02:03:53,760 Speaker 1: no disrespect to you, Sam Howell and what you got 2282 02:03:53,840 --> 02:03:58,040 Speaker 1: going on there? I'm out the Bears not very very 2283 02:03:58,120 --> 02:04:00,960 Speaker 1: interesting overall, just feel is he gonna be any good 2284 02:04:01,200 --> 02:04:03,760 Speaker 1: at Chase Claypool? How much does he like runway modeling? 2285 02:04:04,000 --> 02:04:07,520 Speaker 1: What else do you got? You got nothing? Jets, storylines, 2286 02:04:07,600 --> 02:04:11,160 Speaker 1: personalities all over the place, but his former team is 2287 02:04:11,240 --> 02:04:13,800 Speaker 1: the one I want to concentrate on here. As Jordan 2288 02:04:13,920 --> 02:04:16,560 Speaker 1: Love takes over and we were talking a little bit 2289 02:04:16,720 --> 02:04:20,400 Speaker 1: earlier of the the dark horse MVP odds and where 2290 02:04:20,480 --> 02:04:25,040 Speaker 1: Jared Goff is and for me, what's been curious And look, 2291 02:04:25,200 --> 02:04:27,800 Speaker 1: I'm a Chicago kid. For those that are that are 2292 02:04:28,000 --> 02:04:31,720 Speaker 1: newly initiated to the show, welcome. I am still a 2293 02:04:31,840 --> 02:04:34,280 Speaker 1: guy that I don't pretend to not like a team 2294 02:04:34,920 --> 02:04:37,800 Speaker 1: some people in our business. I am not at at root. 2295 02:04:37,920 --> 02:04:38,240 Speaker 3: No, you do. 2296 02:04:38,800 --> 02:04:41,520 Speaker 1: You root for players, you root for, you know your 2297 02:04:41,560 --> 02:04:44,080 Speaker 1: hometown team. You try, you can try to disavow it 2298 02:04:44,120 --> 02:04:45,320 Speaker 1: all you want, nobody buys it. 2299 02:04:45,480 --> 02:04:48,520 Speaker 3: Which there's there's two things to that. Number One, I 2300 02:04:48,680 --> 02:04:53,440 Speaker 3: feel in my personal case that that I'm I'm very 2301 02:04:54,080 --> 02:04:57,680 Speaker 3: hard on my teams where I am very critical and 2302 02:04:57,840 --> 02:05:01,240 Speaker 3: you get to see more of them. And maybe I'm 2303 02:05:01,280 --> 02:05:04,280 Speaker 3: a glass half empty guy when it comes to a 2304 02:05:04,320 --> 02:05:06,240 Speaker 3: lot of the teams I follow. So it isn't a 2305 02:05:06,760 --> 02:05:09,720 Speaker 3: it isn't a bias in that perspective. It's also different 2306 02:05:09,720 --> 02:05:12,760 Speaker 3: if I'm in the locker room each week covering a 2307 02:05:12,920 --> 02:05:16,200 Speaker 3: game or covering a league, or covering a team. I 2308 02:05:16,320 --> 02:05:19,280 Speaker 3: get there. You don't have favorites, which coast of our 2309 02:05:19,360 --> 02:05:22,480 Speaker 3: guys don't correct. But if you're in this setting I 2310 02:05:23,400 --> 02:05:24,920 Speaker 3: don't mind it, but yeah, so like. 2311 02:05:25,080 --> 02:05:27,520 Speaker 1: Look, I called for everybody at Northwestern to be fired 2312 02:05:28,600 --> 02:05:30,520 Speaker 1: and for the assistant coaches to all be fired. I 2313 02:05:30,520 --> 02:05:33,400 Speaker 1: don't you know, as human beings, I wish them well, 2314 02:05:33,520 --> 02:05:35,920 Speaker 1: but you know, you move on. So you want to 2315 02:05:35,960 --> 02:05:39,960 Speaker 1: talk about harshness related to programs and teams, Hey, look 2316 02:05:40,040 --> 02:05:41,920 Speaker 1: right here. You can find the podcast wherever you look 2317 02:05:41,920 --> 02:05:44,600 Speaker 1: for the audio there during the week, Jason Smith's show 2318 02:05:44,600 --> 02:05:47,320 Speaker 1: with me Mike Carmon and of course here on Sundays 2319 02:05:47,360 --> 02:05:50,840 Speaker 1: alongside my guy Dan Byer. But when we look at 2320 02:05:50,880 --> 02:05:53,840 Speaker 1: the Packers, I think they're just being discounted way too easily. 2321 02:05:53,960 --> 02:05:57,040 Speaker 1: Here and we can go at this from a number 2322 02:05:57,080 --> 02:05:59,400 Speaker 1: of angles. Young wide receivers who came on in the 2323 02:05:59,440 --> 02:06:01,720 Speaker 1: second half of the year. You know, once they actually 2324 02:06:01,760 --> 02:06:04,160 Speaker 1: work with Aaron Rodgers A bit funny how that works. 2325 02:06:04,600 --> 02:06:07,600 Speaker 1: Actually get on the practice field, get some experience, start 2326 02:06:07,680 --> 02:06:10,400 Speaker 1: to learn. Now, how much different would that season have 2327 02:06:10,480 --> 02:06:14,440 Speaker 1: been if that opening deep ball had been caught and 2328 02:06:14,560 --> 02:06:16,960 Speaker 1: run in for a touchdown. The narrative of that season 2329 02:06:17,760 --> 02:06:21,520 Speaker 1: is completely different. But you still have Aaron Jones and 2330 02:06:21,560 --> 02:06:24,280 Speaker 1: aj Dillon in the backfield. Dylan making some headlines this 2331 02:06:24,360 --> 02:06:27,600 Speaker 1: week talking about how teammates are ready to run through 2332 02:06:27,680 --> 02:06:31,440 Speaker 1: the wall. For Jordan Love, the new quarterback who we've seen, 2333 02:06:31,560 --> 02:06:34,240 Speaker 1: he had a cup of coffee, but now it's turning 2334 02:06:34,280 --> 02:06:38,000 Speaker 1: the page. And while you don't expect the same bridge 2335 02:06:38,240 --> 02:06:41,840 Speaker 1: as you had Farv to Rogers now Rogers to Love 2336 02:06:41,920 --> 02:06:45,280 Speaker 1: to where it's going to be all Roses, you do 2337 02:06:45,480 --> 02:06:50,120 Speaker 1: have a franchise with a lot of stability, front office 2338 02:06:50,280 --> 02:06:54,040 Speaker 1: and everything that kind of runs the machine. Very few 2339 02:06:54,120 --> 02:06:57,640 Speaker 1: franchises like we have, and obviously there's unique because we 2340 02:06:57,680 --> 02:07:01,240 Speaker 1: don't have that singular owner sitting out there. But the 2341 02:07:01,560 --> 02:07:05,560 Speaker 1: idea that they've shown draft wise, they find value, they 2342 02:07:05,680 --> 02:07:09,240 Speaker 1: bring players in. They're not splashy free agents necessarily, but 2343 02:07:09,440 --> 02:07:13,160 Speaker 1: they build a solid roster and they still own Chicago 2344 02:07:13,240 --> 02:07:18,360 Speaker 1: until otherwise notified, right until a transference of ownership happens there, 2345 02:07:18,400 --> 02:07:20,840 Speaker 1: because they did that under Farv. He just didn't say 2346 02:07:20,920 --> 02:07:24,200 Speaker 1: it as explicitly as Rogers did. But you got a 2347 02:07:24,240 --> 02:07:27,720 Speaker 1: squad and the defense underachieved last year. Right, We had 2348 02:07:27,800 --> 02:07:31,400 Speaker 1: great expectations, expectations for what they were supposed to be, 2349 02:07:31,800 --> 02:07:34,480 Speaker 1: and they failed in a number of instances. So all 2350 02:07:34,560 --> 02:07:37,720 Speaker 1: of that to say, Jordan Loves in a pretty good 2351 02:07:37,840 --> 02:07:42,400 Speaker 1: spot to come in and achieve, and I think anybody 2352 02:07:42,480 --> 02:07:45,040 Speaker 1: dismissing the Packers do so at their own peril. 2353 02:07:45,200 --> 02:07:48,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, you still have Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon, and 2354 02:07:48,720 --> 02:07:51,120 Speaker 3: for maybe as frustrated as Aaron Rodgers was with that 2355 02:07:51,280 --> 02:07:53,960 Speaker 3: receiving core at the beginning of the year, the end 2356 02:07:54,040 --> 02:07:58,520 Speaker 3: of the year, it seemed Christian Watson was a touchdown machine. 2357 02:07:58,920 --> 02:08:00,560 Speaker 3: We know it in the world of fans. So you 2358 02:08:00,640 --> 02:08:04,600 Speaker 3: did have guys turning things on. You also saw green 2359 02:08:04,640 --> 02:08:06,360 Speaker 3: Bay turn it on at the end of the season, 2360 02:08:07,080 --> 02:08:09,160 Speaker 3: but then you lose that final game to the Lions, 2361 02:08:09,200 --> 02:08:10,640 Speaker 3: and that may be more of a credit to the 2362 02:08:10,760 --> 02:08:13,920 Speaker 3: Lions than anything about green Bay. But I also feel 2363 02:08:14,360 --> 02:08:17,400 Speaker 3: you have to wonder on how heavy of a role 2364 02:08:18,120 --> 02:08:22,160 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers and Aaron Rodgers' attitude played within the green 2365 02:08:22,200 --> 02:08:24,520 Speaker 3: Bay locker room. Sure they can be very freed up, 2366 02:08:24,680 --> 02:08:24,920 Speaker 3: and I. 2367 02:08:25,000 --> 02:08:31,280 Speaker 1: Wonder how much AJ Dillon's comments might have had a 2368 02:08:31,360 --> 02:08:32,280 Speaker 1: little of that to it. 2369 02:08:32,960 --> 02:08:35,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, that could yeah, very well could be. 2370 02:08:35,240 --> 02:08:37,320 Speaker 1: I almost called him JJ Dillon. I was thinking about 2371 02:08:37,320 --> 02:08:38,920 Speaker 1: the four horse that I came really close. 2372 02:08:39,760 --> 02:08:42,080 Speaker 3: At least the didn't call him Matt Dillon. That's that 2373 02:08:42,160 --> 02:08:46,600 Speaker 3: would have been way off base, aj Dillon sticking up 2374 02:08:46,640 --> 02:08:49,960 Speaker 3: for his quarterback like there's nothing wrong with that. And 2375 02:08:50,120 --> 02:08:55,240 Speaker 3: I also find this intriguing is as a Bears fan, 2376 02:08:56,400 --> 02:08:58,760 Speaker 3: I'm not expecting you to become a Packers fan, and 2377 02:08:58,800 --> 02:09:01,240 Speaker 3: I don't think Bears fans will. I think they want 2378 02:09:01,320 --> 02:09:04,200 Speaker 3: Green Bay to go oh to seventeen. However, outside of 2379 02:09:04,320 --> 02:09:08,240 Speaker 3: Chicago and really the state of Minnesota, I think a 2380 02:09:08,280 --> 02:09:10,200 Speaker 3: lot of people are going to be cheering for Green Bay. 2381 02:09:10,720 --> 02:09:13,680 Speaker 3: I think people tired of Aaron Rodgers, not only locally, 2382 02:09:13,800 --> 02:09:17,120 Speaker 3: but in a broader sense. The Packer fan base is 2383 02:09:17,240 --> 02:09:20,520 Speaker 3: one of the biggest in the National Football League, and 2384 02:09:20,680 --> 02:09:24,400 Speaker 3: now you don't have what happened in New England in 2385 02:09:24,520 --> 02:09:27,480 Speaker 3: this Brady Belichick split, where maybe you weren't going to 2386 02:09:27,600 --> 02:09:30,360 Speaker 3: cheer for New England because Belichick was still there, and 2387 02:09:30,480 --> 02:09:32,720 Speaker 3: maybe you're not gonna cheer for Tampa because now Tom 2388 02:09:32,800 --> 02:09:36,320 Speaker 3: Brady is there. I think people will cheer for Green Bay, 2389 02:09:36,440 --> 02:09:39,160 Speaker 3: or want Green Bay to do well just for this 2390 02:09:39,280 --> 02:09:43,400 Speaker 3: season because of what Jordan Love has gone through and 2391 02:09:43,920 --> 02:09:47,080 Speaker 3: how it would be life without Aaron Rodgers. I mentioned 2392 02:09:47,120 --> 02:09:49,640 Speaker 3: on the show Friday filling in for Camino and Rich 2393 02:09:49,720 --> 02:09:52,000 Speaker 3: that I think green Bay could be America's team this 2394 02:09:52,160 --> 02:09:54,120 Speaker 3: past year. Now, it's not going to if Jordan Love 2395 02:09:54,240 --> 02:09:56,080 Speaker 3: is a great year, it's done after this year, because 2396 02:09:56,120 --> 02:09:59,240 Speaker 3: then it's like Green Bay's got another quarterback. They've had 2397 02:09:59,280 --> 02:10:01,440 Speaker 3: one for the last three years. But I think for 2398 02:10:01,560 --> 02:10:03,680 Speaker 3: the time being and what Jordan Love has gone through, 2399 02:10:04,400 --> 02:10:07,480 Speaker 3: I think that they they are a really feel good story. 2400 02:10:07,480 --> 02:10:08,920 Speaker 3: And I think there are a lot of teams going 2401 02:10:08,960 --> 02:10:11,440 Speaker 3: to be behind the Green Bay Packers, let alone the 2402 02:10:11,520 --> 02:10:14,800 Speaker 3: possibility of them actually maybe being a good football team. 2403 02:10:14,880 --> 02:10:17,480 Speaker 1: Well, I think to take it further, it's now the 2404 02:10:17,680 --> 02:10:21,520 Speaker 1: comparison to whatever Rogers does with the Jets. And while 2405 02:10:21,600 --> 02:10:27,160 Speaker 1: statistically maybe apples to oranges right, because Rogers, we would 2406 02:10:27,160 --> 02:10:30,840 Speaker 1: assume from a statistical standpoint, probably blows it out of 2407 02:10:30,880 --> 02:10:35,840 Speaker 1: the water. Yes, but if the winds don't come and 2408 02:10:35,920 --> 02:10:38,320 Speaker 1: their struggles, because look, you're now in the New York 2409 02:10:38,400 --> 02:10:41,160 Speaker 1: media and dealing with them as opposed to the Green 2410 02:10:41,240 --> 02:10:45,320 Speaker 1: Bay guys, no disrespect I mean all journalists. I mean 2411 02:10:45,360 --> 02:10:48,560 Speaker 1: those are real journalists. We're sports talk radio loud about. 2412 02:10:48,760 --> 02:10:50,880 Speaker 1: So if you want to say journalists, you got a 2413 02:10:50,960 --> 02:10:53,760 Speaker 1: lowercase J at best. If you want to go down 2414 02:10:53,840 --> 02:10:56,400 Speaker 1: that road, but you don't have to answer it. So 2415 02:10:56,800 --> 02:11:00,640 Speaker 1: you probably always treated the Rogers things with kid gloves. Well, 2416 02:11:00,640 --> 02:11:03,280 Speaker 1: if he's struggling in New York, not only are the 2417 02:11:03,360 --> 02:11:06,120 Speaker 1: Packer guys that held up a lot of stuff for years, 2418 02:11:06,560 --> 02:11:09,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna pile in as the you know, the addendum 2419 02:11:09,200 --> 02:11:11,360 Speaker 1: to their column. It'll be all about whatever's going on 2420 02:11:11,440 --> 02:11:13,640 Speaker 1: in the game of practice and by the way, Aaron 2421 02:11:13,720 --> 02:11:17,080 Speaker 1: Rodgers blah blah blah. But in New York, think about 2422 02:11:17,360 --> 02:11:19,720 Speaker 1: some classic battles that you're gonna have with some of 2423 02:11:19,800 --> 02:11:21,640 Speaker 1: the the guys on the beat. 2424 02:11:21,520 --> 02:11:22,360 Speaker 3: From the post. 2425 02:11:23,000 --> 02:11:25,000 Speaker 1: Uh well, not the New York Times anymore, that that 2426 02:11:25,040 --> 02:11:28,160 Speaker 1: would be the athletic, but all of that stuff as 2427 02:11:28,200 --> 02:11:30,360 Speaker 1: you go through. I mean, it's a much different media 2428 02:11:30,880 --> 02:11:34,000 Speaker 1: environment that he has to navigate. But I think there's 2429 02:11:34,040 --> 02:11:37,160 Speaker 1: something to your point about all right, at least for 2430 02:11:37,280 --> 02:11:40,000 Speaker 1: a moment, it's the can you just be better than 2431 02:11:40,080 --> 02:11:42,600 Speaker 1: that guy this year because we're tired, because we also 2432 02:11:42,680 --> 02:11:45,800 Speaker 1: want to show that last year and any struggles and 2433 02:11:45,880 --> 02:11:47,840 Speaker 1: any angst was completely him. 2434 02:11:48,320 --> 02:11:51,920 Speaker 3: And it's it's not to say that the Green Bay 2435 02:11:52,040 --> 02:11:54,880 Speaker 3: media those that followed the Packers were easy on Rogers. 2436 02:11:55,480 --> 02:11:58,080 Speaker 3: Just New York's a different animal with the with the 2437 02:11:58,160 --> 02:12:00,720 Speaker 3: fan bases, with the city, with the the people who 2438 02:12:00,760 --> 02:12:03,400 Speaker 3: call into the to the shows that that we do 2439 02:12:03,640 --> 02:12:06,000 Speaker 3: or they do. In New York, it is a completely 2440 02:12:06,320 --> 02:12:09,320 Speaker 3: different animal. And Aaron Rodgers loves to be the smartest 2441 02:12:09,320 --> 02:12:11,480 Speaker 3: guy in the room. And I don't know how well 2442 02:12:11,600 --> 02:12:13,720 Speaker 3: that's going to play in fact, you know, and it 2443 02:12:13,800 --> 02:12:16,920 Speaker 3: didn't play great in Wisconsin at times, you know, so 2444 02:12:17,120 --> 02:12:19,160 Speaker 3: let alone what it could be in New York. And 2445 02:12:19,200 --> 02:12:23,000 Speaker 3: I think that that's yeah, the the positives of what 2446 02:12:23,080 --> 02:12:26,120 Speaker 3: could happen in Green Bay and being America's team, like 2447 02:12:26,560 --> 02:12:28,880 Speaker 3: the Jets could be depending on how things come off, 2448 02:12:29,160 --> 02:12:31,320 Speaker 3: you know, with Hard Knocks as well, they could end 2449 02:12:31,400 --> 02:12:34,360 Speaker 3: up being that bad boy team, that villain squad throughout 2450 02:12:34,360 --> 02:12:36,440 Speaker 3: the year that maybe nobody wants them to win. 2451 02:12:36,480 --> 02:12:39,640 Speaker 1: See. I hope he embraces the villain role fully because 2452 02:12:39,640 --> 02:12:44,280 Speaker 1: I think he has Rogers to that point at this point. 2453 02:12:44,320 --> 02:12:46,240 Speaker 1: I mean, he cried about it a little bit like 2454 02:12:46,360 --> 02:12:49,320 Speaker 1: he did, Like remember the lebron and the decision and 2455 02:12:49,400 --> 02:12:52,520 Speaker 1: then how he and Dwayne Wader like why is everybody matters? Well, 2456 02:12:52,600 --> 02:12:56,880 Speaker 1: you changed the paradigm, you changed the game, and you 2457 02:12:57,000 --> 02:12:59,680 Speaker 1: thought everybody was just going to say that's great because 2458 02:12:59,720 --> 02:13:02,200 Speaker 1: I mean, there's two sides of it. One you left Cleveland, 2459 02:13:02,760 --> 02:13:04,800 Speaker 1: then you had a TV show about it, whatever, So 2460 02:13:04,880 --> 02:13:06,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna be the villain. And I don't think they 2461 02:13:06,600 --> 02:13:09,520 Speaker 1: ever embraced that. I don't think he ever embraced the 2462 02:13:09,640 --> 02:13:12,720 Speaker 1: black hat that he was now wearing based on fans 2463 02:13:12,760 --> 02:13:15,080 Speaker 1: being mad with Rogers. I think he did for a 2464 02:13:15,160 --> 02:13:17,280 Speaker 1: while kind of Crist's like, well, you don't understand me, 2465 02:13:17,360 --> 02:13:19,280 Speaker 1: how do you? And then he finally was like a, 2466 02:13:19,400 --> 02:13:22,080 Speaker 1: I forget it. I'm just gonna I'm just gonna be me. 2467 02:13:22,400 --> 02:13:24,360 Speaker 1: So I hope we get that guy when it comes 2468 02:13:24,400 --> 02:13:26,800 Speaker 1: to hard knocks, Like, what I would really love is 2469 02:13:26,880 --> 02:13:30,360 Speaker 1: a full fabricated would be blowout with one of the 2470 02:13:30,400 --> 02:13:35,480 Speaker 1: receivers and it's completely a WWE work, so everybody runs 2471 02:13:35,560 --> 02:13:38,280 Speaker 1: with that and behind the scenes everybody's fine and just 2472 02:13:38,400 --> 02:13:39,440 Speaker 1: going through their faces. 2473 02:13:40,240 --> 02:13:42,160 Speaker 3: That would be That would not be like I know, 2474 02:13:42,280 --> 02:13:44,879 Speaker 3: he gets mad, he gets frustrated, he shows his emotions 2475 02:13:44,920 --> 02:13:48,720 Speaker 3: on his sleeve. Yeah, that would That would be a 2476 02:13:48,800 --> 02:13:52,840 Speaker 3: total change from the norm he's been. His things changed 2477 02:13:52,880 --> 02:13:55,760 Speaker 3: from Great Bay, Like I'll never forget when the Bucks 2478 02:13:55,800 --> 02:13:57,520 Speaker 3: went on their title run he had he has a 2479 02:13:57,720 --> 02:14:00,840 Speaker 3: minority share he had gone to many A games before 2480 02:14:00,880 --> 02:14:05,520 Speaker 3: in previous years, but his stalemate with Green Bay he 2481 02:14:05,680 --> 02:14:07,320 Speaker 3: was he was a no show. He did not show. 2482 02:14:07,360 --> 02:14:09,000 Speaker 3: But yet when he signed with the Jets, he's at 2483 02:14:09,080 --> 02:14:14,760 Speaker 3: Nicks playoff games. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. 2484 02:14:14,280 --> 02:14:15,720 Speaker 1: Showing up with the Tony Awards. 2485 02:14:15,760 --> 02:14:17,920 Speaker 3: And you can't tell me that stuff with you know, 2486 02:14:18,680 --> 02:14:22,120 Speaker 3: wasn't planned. Sure seems like it was, by the way. 2487 02:14:22,000 --> 02:14:24,760 Speaker 1: The greatest tourist run in three months, three months. 2488 02:14:25,680 --> 02:14:28,440 Speaker 3: Djokovic did completely just give away the third set that 2489 02:14:28,560 --> 02:14:30,680 Speaker 3: you could tell he was just hitting balls into the net. 2490 02:14:30,760 --> 02:14:34,600 Speaker 1: So six two one, there we go, we go into 2491 02:14:34,640 --> 02:14:37,880 Speaker 1: the fourth set. We'll keep an eye on that as 2492 02:14:37,960 --> 02:14:40,680 Speaker 1: we continue. He's Dan Byer on Mike Harmon here Fox 2493 02:14:40,680 --> 02:14:43,880 Speaker 1: Sports Sunday on Fox Sports Radio. Talked about it a 2494 02:14:43,920 --> 02:14:49,440 Speaker 1: little bit earlier, the running back situation, Austin Eckler's comments, 2495 02:14:49,880 --> 02:14:54,200 Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook still unsigned. How does that all resolve itself? 2496 02:14:54,360 --> 02:14:56,160 Speaker 1: What do we do with the position. Let's just throw 2497 02:14:56,200 --> 02:14:58,240 Speaker 1: it out and rename it. That's coming up next on 2498 02:14:58,360 --> 02:15:06,440 Speaker 1: Fox final fourth set now, Alcarez up one love having 2499 02:15:06,440 --> 02:15:08,800 Speaker 1: a blast. Keeping an eye on that. Obviously, we'll have 2500 02:15:08,920 --> 02:15:12,160 Speaker 1: the more for Steph Curry to see if he can 2501 02:15:12,200 --> 02:15:15,440 Speaker 1: add another title to his resume. A little later on, 2502 02:15:15,520 --> 02:15:17,760 Speaker 1: we got a full day of Major League Baseball action, 2503 02:15:18,160 --> 02:15:21,960 Speaker 1: as we've now got two weeks until the trade deadline. 2504 02:15:22,040 --> 02:15:28,720 Speaker 1: So Otani and Juan Soto and Nolan Arenado and Justin Verlander, 2505 02:15:28,800 --> 02:15:32,560 Speaker 1: Max Scherz or all these guys a giant, a veritable 2506 02:15:32,600 --> 02:15:35,520 Speaker 1: pope caorie of big names. And how much comes out 2507 02:15:35,560 --> 02:15:37,680 Speaker 1: in the wash of guys getting dealt. How many guys 2508 02:15:37,760 --> 02:15:40,920 Speaker 1: from my beloved White Sox squad will no longer be 2509 02:15:41,000 --> 02:15:42,640 Speaker 1: a member of the squad. I think it's going to 2510 02:15:42,680 --> 02:15:45,280 Speaker 1: be numerous, and many of them ending up here as 2511 02:15:45,400 --> 02:15:49,440 Speaker 1: members of the Los Angeles Dodgers for lower level prospects. 2512 02:15:49,760 --> 02:15:55,080 Speaker 3: I do think that Major League Baseball's recent history of 2513 02:15:55,320 --> 02:16:01,800 Speaker 3: teams having success coming from earlier, if you will, will 2514 02:16:02,000 --> 02:16:06,200 Speaker 3: allow teams to be more interested in making moves so 2515 02:16:06,400 --> 02:16:09,480 Speaker 3: the you know, the Phillies and Padres make it to 2516 02:16:09,560 --> 02:16:12,160 Speaker 3: the Championship Series. Phillies obviously went to the World Series. 2517 02:16:12,640 --> 02:16:14,320 Speaker 3: You had the Braves in their run a couple of 2518 02:16:14,400 --> 02:16:19,120 Speaker 3: years ago. The Nationals when they played in the wild 2519 02:16:19,240 --> 02:16:22,440 Speaker 3: Card Game in twenty nineteen and they were trailing in 2520 02:16:22,480 --> 02:16:24,880 Speaker 3: the eighth inning of the Brewers and what do you know, 2521 02:16:25,120 --> 02:16:28,160 Speaker 3: they end up going on a run. So even though 2522 02:16:28,200 --> 02:16:31,600 Speaker 3: you've got the Braves playing out of their mind, baseball 2523 02:16:32,400 --> 02:16:35,400 Speaker 3: rays have been good all season. I do think that 2524 02:16:35,520 --> 02:16:38,840 Speaker 3: if you are a team that you know in the 2525 02:16:38,920 --> 02:16:42,680 Speaker 3: wild card picture, in the wild card hunt, that there's 2526 02:16:42,680 --> 02:16:44,840 Speaker 3: a reason to go for it because you can make 2527 02:16:44,879 --> 02:16:48,920 Speaker 3: it to the World Series. It is not a daunting task. 2528 02:16:49,400 --> 02:16:51,000 Speaker 3: And we've seen that in recent history. 2529 02:16:51,080 --> 02:16:53,879 Speaker 1: Well, and that's the curiosity as we get towards the deadline. 2530 02:16:53,920 --> 02:16:56,160 Speaker 1: You don't have a lot of obvious sellers and the 2531 02:16:56,480 --> 02:17:01,440 Speaker 1: ones that are, I mean most of its spare arts, right, 2532 02:17:01,520 --> 02:17:03,640 Speaker 1: They're not guys you're training for that are gonna push 2533 02:17:03,680 --> 02:17:05,920 Speaker 1: you over the top. Now from the White Sox, you 2534 02:17:06,000 --> 02:17:10,560 Speaker 1: got a Gilido, maybe Dylan Cees in the you know, 2535 02:17:11,200 --> 02:17:14,360 Speaker 1: anything's up for grabs kind of thing can make something happen. 2536 02:17:14,560 --> 02:17:17,720 Speaker 1: But you know, Tim Anderson was an All Star, probably 2537 02:17:17,760 --> 02:17:20,400 Speaker 1: should be sitting on the bench trying to figure out 2538 02:17:21,640 --> 02:17:24,120 Speaker 1: his direction in the world at this point. Not that 2539 02:17:24,200 --> 02:17:26,360 Speaker 1: you can send a guy a triple A, but he's 2540 02:17:26,440 --> 02:17:30,400 Speaker 1: been a shell of himself this year. So like any 2541 02:17:30,440 --> 02:17:32,880 Speaker 1: guy that was a name may not have juice. But 2542 02:17:32,959 --> 02:17:35,760 Speaker 1: when we talk about the Royals, we talk about the Aes, 2543 02:17:35,800 --> 02:17:38,600 Speaker 1: we talk about like what's helping to push the needle 2544 02:17:38,640 --> 02:17:41,440 Speaker 1: in terms of obvious sellers, which to your point was 2545 02:17:41,560 --> 02:17:43,280 Speaker 1: you got a lot of teams that are still in contention, 2546 02:17:43,440 --> 02:17:47,160 Speaker 1: including the Angels, which is the one with the giant 2547 02:17:47,240 --> 02:17:49,840 Speaker 1: spotlight on as people try to speculate about Otani. 2548 02:17:49,959 --> 02:17:51,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, and that division, like because you say, like the 2549 02:17:52,040 --> 02:17:55,520 Speaker 3: Al Central is not good, but also like your White 2550 02:17:55,560 --> 02:17:57,560 Speaker 3: Sox or was it like ten years ago and they 2551 02:17:57,600 --> 02:17:59,600 Speaker 3: were you know, like ended up doing a fire sale 2552 02:17:59,600 --> 02:18:01,680 Speaker 3: when they are only like three games out or I 2553 02:18:02,200 --> 02:18:06,520 Speaker 3: can't remember it was. So it's not necessarily foreign to 2554 02:18:06,640 --> 02:18:09,920 Speaker 3: that franchise that even though statistically a numbers wise and 2555 02:18:10,200 --> 02:18:13,520 Speaker 3: games back and where they are that they are technically 2556 02:18:13,640 --> 02:18:16,080 Speaker 3: still in it. They've shown to the past that they'd 2557 02:18:16,120 --> 02:18:19,640 Speaker 3: be willing to move pieces. Yeah, I mean, I think 2558 02:18:19,800 --> 02:18:23,480 Speaker 3: I just think that there's like opportunities like Baltimore. You 2559 02:18:23,600 --> 02:18:27,680 Speaker 3: look at them with like a young team, A yeah, 2560 02:18:27,800 --> 02:18:30,120 Speaker 3: young team, but hey why not go and win it? 2561 02:18:30,480 --> 02:18:33,720 Speaker 1: Young team, stocked minor league, They've still got a number 2562 02:18:33,760 --> 02:18:36,400 Speaker 1: of guys that are going to be major League ready. 2563 02:18:36,959 --> 02:18:39,960 Speaker 1: Maybe they're blocked by the young stars that are just 2564 02:18:40,080 --> 02:18:42,640 Speaker 1: taking over. So maybe there's dealably had there. I mean, 2565 02:18:42,680 --> 02:18:44,120 Speaker 1: that was a big deal this week when it was 2566 02:18:44,160 --> 02:18:46,720 Speaker 1: announced that for the first time in five years, Sunday 2567 02:18:46,760 --> 02:18:50,520 Speaker 1: Night Baseball was returning to Camden Yards. Yes, right, that's 2568 02:18:50,920 --> 02:18:53,680 Speaker 1: that's a big deal talking about a franchise that would 2569 02:18:53,680 --> 02:18:55,880 Speaker 1: have been on a ton during the Cal Ripken days 2570 02:18:56,480 --> 02:18:58,640 Speaker 1: and has been an also Ran and I do weekly 2571 02:18:58,720 --> 02:19:02,440 Speaker 1: spots with an friend of mine in Baltimore and they're 2572 02:19:02,480 --> 02:19:06,720 Speaker 1: the Oriole station. They're talking a lot of Ravens for years. Sure, 2573 02:19:07,080 --> 02:19:09,200 Speaker 1: a lot about prospects, like we would get into that, 2574 02:19:09,280 --> 02:19:11,160 Speaker 1: but you can only go so far right of hey, 2575 02:19:11,200 --> 02:19:13,320 Speaker 1: they're coming, They're coming, and we've been waiting, and now 2576 02:19:13,320 --> 02:19:15,119 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, all of these guys at once, 2577 02:19:15,480 --> 02:19:17,440 Speaker 1: it's starting to roll. The Rays have a bunch of 2578 02:19:17,520 --> 02:19:20,480 Speaker 1: injuries and obviously you couldn't play at a seven hundred 2579 02:19:20,560 --> 02:19:23,040 Speaker 1: clip forever, so all of a sudden, there the Orioles 2580 02:19:23,040 --> 02:19:25,800 Speaker 1: are in what is a really good division. Yeah, I 2581 02:19:25,920 --> 02:19:28,080 Speaker 1: mean you want to talk about the direk that is 2582 02:19:28,200 --> 02:19:31,720 Speaker 1: the Central the Al East, and rightly so, I mean 2583 02:19:31,760 --> 02:19:34,640 Speaker 1: we talked about it before the season that it would 2584 02:19:34,680 --> 02:19:39,000 Speaker 1: be cannibalization all the way through. Yankees are still above 2585 02:19:39,080 --> 02:19:41,840 Speaker 1: five hundred and Aaron Judge hasn't played in forever and 2586 02:19:42,080 --> 02:19:45,280 Speaker 1: may not come back. Red Sox they're not exciting, but 2587 02:19:45,360 --> 02:19:48,400 Speaker 1: they're above five hundred. And then the Blue Jays, maybe 2588 02:19:48,440 --> 02:19:51,080 Speaker 1: they get a run now, Guerrero hitting the ball better 2589 02:19:51,200 --> 02:19:54,480 Speaker 1: going into the All Star Break, wins the home run 2590 02:19:54,600 --> 02:19:57,000 Speaker 1: derby and comes right back out where he started, where 2591 02:19:57,040 --> 02:19:59,240 Speaker 1: he left off. So you know all of a sudden 2592 02:19:59,320 --> 02:20:00,760 Speaker 1: that that's gonna be one one of the most exciting 2593 02:20:00,840 --> 02:20:04,400 Speaker 1: races to watch to see how the Wildcard evolves there 2594 02:20:04,400 --> 02:20:04,720 Speaker 1: as well. 2595 02:20:04,800 --> 02:20:10,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're Red Sox. If if they were if they 2596 02:20:10,600 --> 02:20:15,640 Speaker 3: were in the Al Central mic gosh, just quickly trying 2597 02:20:15,640 --> 02:20:17,160 Speaker 3: to do it quick math. I'm trying to do the 2598 02:20:17,280 --> 02:20:20,200 Speaker 3: math here. I think they'd be up two games on 2599 02:20:20,240 --> 02:20:21,320 Speaker 3: the Minnesota Twins, and. 2600 02:20:21,680 --> 02:20:22,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think you're right. 2601 02:20:22,800 --> 02:20:25,160 Speaker 3: Yea, yeah, there you go. Yeah, two games. 2602 02:20:25,440 --> 02:20:26,440 Speaker 1: Funny how that all works. 2603 02:20:26,840 --> 02:20:28,240 Speaker 3: But but they're dead last right now. 2604 02:20:28,840 --> 02:20:30,200 Speaker 1: But that's the thing, right, it's like we're having a 2605 02:20:30,240 --> 02:20:33,080 Speaker 1: great year, well not in this division. 2606 02:20:33,120 --> 02:20:35,520 Speaker 3: You're not five and six seeds. Last year with the 2607 02:20:35,560 --> 02:20:38,680 Speaker 3: Phillies and Padres in the NLCS, they both were the 2608 02:20:38,840 --> 02:20:41,640 Speaker 3: underdog and playing their wild card round series. 2609 02:20:41,959 --> 02:20:45,360 Speaker 1: Look at the Lakers and Heat. It translates. Yeah, all 2610 02:20:45,440 --> 02:20:47,480 Speaker 1: over all you got to do is get in and 2611 02:20:47,600 --> 02:20:50,080 Speaker 1: then a little bit of health, a little bit of luck, right, 2612 02:20:50,120 --> 02:20:53,640 Speaker 1: and Giannis gets hurt and other things ensue. On the 2613 02:20:53,800 --> 02:20:57,840 Speaker 1: NBA side of things, on the Western Conference, you had 2614 02:20:57,959 --> 02:21:00,880 Speaker 1: some teams that had some flaws that got all of 2615 02:21:00,879 --> 02:21:02,720 Speaker 1: a sudden, you got a seven seed that finds its 2616 02:21:02,760 --> 02:21:05,959 Speaker 1: way in your conference finals. It can't happen. So that's 2617 02:21:06,120 --> 02:21:08,400 Speaker 1: that should at least allow for a little bit of 2618 02:21:08,440 --> 02:21:09,640 Speaker 1: a shake up here these next time. 2619 02:21:09,640 --> 02:21:13,240 Speaker 3: I appreciate you saying Giannis's injury played a role in 2620 02:21:13,320 --> 02:21:15,440 Speaker 3: the Bucks completely choking against the Heat. 2621 02:21:15,720 --> 02:21:17,240 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, how about Middleton being hurt? 2622 02:21:17,280 --> 02:21:19,560 Speaker 3: You want me to do that, extead, that's me coming 2623 02:21:19,640 --> 02:21:22,040 Speaker 3: off too often the theme unfortunately. 2624 02:21:21,560 --> 02:21:24,160 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's part of the narrative. 2625 02:21:25,560 --> 02:21:26,080 Speaker 3: Oh man. 2626 02:21:26,240 --> 02:21:27,960 Speaker 1: Well, but it took away from the greatness of the 2627 02:21:28,040 --> 02:21:31,800 Speaker 1: Heat there for a minute, didn't it. Yes, Yes, not 2628 02:21:31,920 --> 02:21:34,760 Speaker 1: to denigrate heat culture or anything like Summer wants to do. 2629 02:21:34,920 --> 02:21:36,920 Speaker 1: By the way, Jimmy Butler and Shakira are dating in 2630 02:21:37,000 --> 02:21:41,160 Speaker 1: case you missed that, allegedly, and congratulations to them, two 2631 02:21:41,200 --> 02:21:44,080 Speaker 1: of my favorite players.

That's as long as 2641 02:22:08,280 --> 02:22:09,400 Speaker 3: you're taking advantage of them. 2642 02:22:09,879 --> 02:22:12,720 Speaker 1: Well, I mean they could say no, but then they'd 2643 02:22:12,760 --> 02:22:14,840 Speaker 1: have to wait for that cup of coffee, which may 2644 02:22:14,879 --> 02:22:18,200 Speaker 1: come back lukewarm or cold or maybe not at all, 2645 02:22:18,640 --> 02:22:20,480 Speaker 1: and you couldn't go out of the bubble. See that's 2646 02:22:20,480 --> 02:22:27,480 Speaker 1: the other thing, right, It's scarcity, yes, demand, supply and demand.

However, al Karaz came 2661 02:23:12,680 --> 02:23:15,640 Speaker 4: roaring back in the second set, which he won in 2662 02:23:15,800 --> 02:23:18,440 Speaker 4: a tie break, and then it would be al Karaz 2663 02:23:18,440 --> 02:23:20,840 Speaker 4: who would dominate the third set as well. 2664 02:23:21,080 --> 02:23:24,360 Speaker 10: Set points for al chiis backhand punch, return volley, betch 2665 02:23:24,400 --> 02:23:25,560 Speaker 10: it to the backhand side. 2666 02:23:25,600 --> 02:23:28,240 Speaker 7: But there is another fourth set. 2667 02:23:28,240 --> 02:23:31,120 Speaker 6: Pinpoint pass off the backhand from al Karaz and he 2668 02:23:31,280 --> 02:23:33,359 Speaker 6: wops with real. 2669 02:23:33,280 --> 02:23:35,199 Speaker 3: Determination of belief, howl. 2670 02:23:36,040 --> 02:23:37,000 Speaker 1: Towards the chair. 2671 02:23:37,600 --> 02:23:41,240 Speaker 4: He is up in this final by two sets to one, 2672 02:23:41,520 --> 02:23:44,360 Speaker 4: the call by some British guy on Radio Wimbledon.

He got to eleven forty. Okay, sorry, 2712 02:26:02,240 --> 02:26:03,959 Speaker 1: so I missed one. I was doing a quick scan 2713 02:26:04,280 --> 02:26:07,600 Speaker 1: as we went. But go back the rest of these 2714 02:26:07,680 --> 02:26:13,480 Speaker 1: years seven, the year before nine, the year before that, 2715 02:26:14,160 --> 02:26:18,800 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, sixteen, year before that nine, a year before 2716 02:26:18,879 --> 02:26:22,640 Speaker 1: that nine, and then go back to twelve. So those 2717 02:26:22,680 --> 02:26:25,040 Speaker 1: are your last seven years you've hit triple digits or 2718 02:26:25,120 --> 02:26:28,920 Speaker 1: double digits. I should say, only three times during that 2719 02:26:29,240 --> 02:26:31,720 Speaker 1: But we see the evolution of the game between running 2720 02:26:31,760 --> 02:26:35,520 Speaker 1: the ball, how much more are you a receiver? Add 2721 02:26:35,680 --> 02:26:39,480 Speaker 1: the secondary back and the workload split, add the tertiary 2722 02:26:39,560 --> 02:26:41,439 Speaker 1: guy and the running quarterbacks. 2723 02:26:41,520 --> 02:26:44,240 Speaker 3: You know what else? You add another game and an 2724 02:26:44,280 --> 02:26:45,160 Speaker 3: extra game. Yeah. 2725 02:26:45,320 --> 02:26:48,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, So all of that comes to say that it's 2726 02:26:48,480 --> 02:26:50,520 Speaker 1: a rarety. Much like we always talk about with quarterbacks, 2727 02:26:50,520 --> 02:26:53,200 Speaker 1: how many guys would play a full sixteen game slate. 2728 02:26:54,000 --> 02:26:59,200 Speaker 1: It would be the Mannings, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Philip Rivers, 2729 02:26:59,240 --> 02:27:01,600 Speaker 1: and maybe one or two other people. Yeah right, I 2730 02:27:01,640 --> 02:27:03,840 Speaker 1: mean it was it was a very short short list 2731 02:27:03,920 --> 02:27:06,520 Speaker 1: of people. That is to say that even in an 2732 02:27:06,560 --> 02:27:13,400 Speaker 1: expanded schedule and offense dominating as they do, that you're 2733 02:27:13,440 --> 02:27:15,960 Speaker 1: at half the league doesn't have a thousand yard rusher. 2734 02:27:18,000 --> 02:27:21,000 Speaker 1: So like that that threshold, I mean that's sixty yards 2735 02:27:21,000 --> 02:27:25,360 Speaker 1: a game. Yeah, when you get down to it, right, yes, 2736 02:27:26,160 --> 02:27:28,320 Speaker 1: because that was always we always had those bait, you know, 2737 02:27:28,480 --> 02:27:32,080 Speaker 1: inserts in the football trading cards, right, thousand yard receivers, 2738 02:27:32,320 --> 02:27:34,120 Speaker 1: thousand yard rusher, and it was a big deal. And 2739 02:27:34,200 --> 02:27:36,560 Speaker 1: then you started to think about it's like, I don't know, 2740 02:27:36,640 --> 02:27:38,680 Speaker 1: if you carry the ball twenty times a game, as 2741 02:27:38,760 --> 02:27:42,320 Speaker 1: you once did. You're averaging three yard to carry. Yeah, 2742 02:27:42,560 --> 02:27:44,119 Speaker 1: you just have to stay healthy to get there. 2743 02:27:44,240 --> 02:27:47,200 Speaker 3: Thousand yard was such a I don't know if Tops 2744 02:27:47,280 --> 02:27:49,760 Speaker 3: made it that way, Mike, because of the thousand yard 2745 02:27:49,800 --> 02:27:52,240 Speaker 3: club cards when we were growing up, but it was 2746 02:27:52,440 --> 02:27:55,280 Speaker 3: such a big deal to cross that thousand yard barrier, 2747 02:27:56,520 --> 02:27:58,960 Speaker 3: more more than in years past, as you mentioned. But 2748 02:27:59,080 --> 02:28:02,400 Speaker 3: the extra game does help that. But it's it's also 2749 02:28:02,600 --> 02:28:05,400 Speaker 3: why like a team like San Francisco I think has 2750 02:28:06,320 --> 02:28:08,880 Speaker 3: such success. Bucky Brooks, you know it was in your 2751 02:28:08,959 --> 02:28:11,640 Speaker 3: chair last week, has talked about this a lot. You've 2752 02:28:11,680 --> 02:28:15,039 Speaker 3: got so many teams that are now built to try 2753 02:28:15,120 --> 02:28:18,840 Speaker 3: to stop the Patrick Mahomes, the Joe Burrows at the time, 2754 02:28:18,959 --> 02:28:21,560 Speaker 3: the Tom Brady's of the world, and the passing offenses 2755 02:28:21,680 --> 02:28:24,920 Speaker 3: that when you have a run offense, sometimes teams just 2756 02:28:24,959 --> 02:28:27,920 Speaker 3: don't have the personnel to really match up with it 2757 02:28:28,080 --> 02:28:31,400 Speaker 3: because you're so small on the outside. And if you've 2758 02:28:31,440 --> 02:28:34,360 Speaker 3: got a running game, you know, lookout world. And San 2759 02:28:34,400 --> 02:28:36,920 Speaker 3: Francisco's got one of the best, if not the best, 2760 02:28:37,320 --> 02:28:41,000 Speaker 3: in the NFL, and it's why they have, you know, 2761 02:28:41,120 --> 02:28:43,840 Speaker 3: the success that they have running the football. But it's 2762 02:28:43,959 --> 02:28:46,760 Speaker 3: just so few and far between that anybody would commit 2763 02:28:46,920 --> 02:28:49,120 Speaker 3: to that, because it's just trying to keep up with 2764 02:28:49,120 --> 02:28:51,920 Speaker 3: the Joneses and trying to get your offense, trying to 2765 02:28:51,920 --> 02:28:53,760 Speaker 3: get your quarterback and try to get him a target. 2766 02:28:53,840 --> 02:28:56,119 Speaker 3: And it's the same thing. I actually, I actually commend 2767 02:28:56,120 --> 02:28:58,120 Speaker 3: San Francisco for being trying to be different in. 2768 02:28:58,200 --> 02:29:00,680 Speaker 1: What they well in Baltimore for all those years. For 2769 02:29:00,760 --> 02:29:03,279 Speaker 1: as much as people want to get after Lamar Jackson, 2770 02:29:04,080 --> 02:29:07,400 Speaker 1: and we watched how they operated this offseason. It was 2771 02:29:07,480 --> 02:29:09,400 Speaker 1: how many wide receivers might we be able to get 2772 02:29:09,440 --> 02:29:12,240 Speaker 1: into the building to say once and for all, but 2773 02:29:12,400 --> 02:29:15,200 Speaker 1: also taking shots at the training staff and they fired 2774 02:29:15,240 --> 02:29:19,240 Speaker 1: their trainer, just like the Chargers did. Got to actually 2775 02:29:19,320 --> 02:29:22,960 Speaker 1: have some guys on the field, and they were trading barbs, 2776 02:29:23,040 --> 02:29:26,160 Speaker 1: right black men and those guys going back and forth 2777 02:29:26,240 --> 02:29:30,320 Speaker 1: going well, we're not quite getting the the you know, 2778 02:29:30,480 --> 02:29:32,560 Speaker 1: support that we're supposed to, and it's like, well, you 2779 02:29:32,640 --> 02:29:35,879 Speaker 1: got to get on the field, et cetera. But still 2780 02:29:35,959 --> 02:29:39,320 Speaker 1: the running game is key right Atlanta, and the way 2781 02:29:39,400 --> 02:29:42,520 Speaker 1: they've built things, the running game is still going to 2782 02:29:42,600 --> 02:29:47,160 Speaker 1: be critical how they operate. And so it's still okay 2783 02:29:47,200 --> 02:29:50,080 Speaker 1: to zag may not be as sexy. You may not 2784 02:29:50,200 --> 02:29:52,320 Speaker 1: have the flashy numbers at the end of the day, 2785 02:29:52,879 --> 02:29:55,640 Speaker 1: but you're about winning football games, and what's the easiest 2786 02:29:55,640 --> 02:29:59,160 Speaker 1: way to it. Shortening a football game? Sure, right, fewer plays, 2787 02:29:59,440 --> 02:30:02,320 Speaker 1: fewer oper tunities for mistakes. Right, I watch my kids' 2788 02:30:02,360 --> 02:30:04,920 Speaker 1: soccer game. The more passes in a possession, the more 2789 02:30:04,959 --> 02:30:08,880 Speaker 1: I know eventually it's gonna blow up. Yeah right, There's 2790 02:30:08,879 --> 02:30:11,960 Speaker 1: gonna be one touch that's not strong enough, or is 2791 02:30:12,240 --> 02:30:15,920 Speaker 1: slightly misdirected that gets picked off and set the other way, 2792 02:30:16,360 --> 02:30:18,959 Speaker 1: or just the full on I'm just clearing it out 2793 02:30:19,000 --> 02:30:21,280 Speaker 1: of here. You want to try to build that out again. 2794 02:30:21,720 --> 02:30:24,119 Speaker 1: Have it again. Doesn't mean it's not a beautiful thing 2795 02:30:24,200 --> 02:30:27,600 Speaker 1: when it works, but long protracted drives are generally not 2796 02:30:27,800 --> 02:30:30,320 Speaker 1: how you want to go. There's gonna be a holding penalty, 2797 02:30:30,560 --> 02:30:33,960 Speaker 1: There's gonna be something that takes that drive away from you. 2798 02:30:34,440 --> 02:30:37,640 Speaker 3: The you know, just looking at the league, as you mentioned, 2799 02:30:37,720 --> 02:30:40,760 Speaker 3: Dalvin Cook is unsigned. Still no home for Dalvin Cook. 2800 02:30:40,879 --> 02:30:43,000 Speaker 1: What do you I mean, what do you think about that? 2801 02:30:43,240 --> 02:30:45,000 Speaker 1: Other than hey, he doesn't have to go to camp, 2802 02:30:45,760 --> 02:30:48,240 Speaker 1: it doesn't have to report eally, so he gets a 2803 02:30:48,320 --> 02:30:49,400 Speaker 1: couple of days off. 2804 02:30:50,480 --> 02:30:55,080 Speaker 3: Not surprised. I think that you can. Nobody is going 2805 02:30:55,160 --> 02:30:58,000 Speaker 3: to pay that much. And again it's a conversation we 2806 02:30:58,120 --> 02:31:00,840 Speaker 3: had earlier. But if you missed it out the podcast, 2807 02:31:00,920 --> 02:31:02,960 Speaker 3: but just to give you Fox Sports Radio dot Com, 2808 02:31:03,080 --> 02:31:05,800 Speaker 3: click on podcasts, find Fox Sports Radio Weekends, that's where 2809 02:31:05,800 --> 02:31:09,520 Speaker 3: you'll find it. But it's just the fact of yeah, 2810 02:31:09,560 --> 02:31:11,880 Speaker 3: it's it's a quarterback in a wide receiver league, but 2811 02:31:11,959 --> 02:31:16,080 Speaker 3: also there's just there there may be a gap between 2812 02:31:16,120 --> 02:31:18,760 Speaker 3: the top running back in the NFL and the thirtieth 2813 02:31:19,000 --> 02:31:22,440 Speaker 3: ranked running back in the NFL. That may be similar 2814 02:31:22,520 --> 02:31:25,800 Speaker 3: to the top wide receiver and the thirtieth wide receiver. 2815 02:31:26,320 --> 02:31:28,720 Speaker 3: But it's the problem of the fifth best running back 2816 02:31:28,760 --> 02:31:31,600 Speaker 3: in the NFL is very very similar to the thirtieth 2817 02:31:31,680 --> 02:31:34,400 Speaker 3: best running back in the NFL. And it's that sort 2818 02:31:34,440 --> 02:31:38,400 Speaker 3: of like you know, lack of variety within within the 2819 02:31:38,440 --> 02:31:42,160 Speaker 3: position that just it's made Austin Eckler a star, but 2820 02:31:42,320 --> 02:31:44,800 Speaker 3: now it's paying Austin Eckler on the back end and 2821 02:31:45,160 --> 02:31:47,840 Speaker 3: Dalvin Cook. Nobody's gonna nobody's gonna pay for that. It's 2822 02:31:47,920 --> 02:31:49,440 Speaker 3: just it's not gonna happen. If there's an injury in 2823 02:31:49,480 --> 02:31:52,080 Speaker 3: training camp and somebody short handed I'm sure Dalvin Cook 2824 02:31:52,120 --> 02:31:54,200 Speaker 3: will get a call, and maybe a team is more 2825 02:31:54,240 --> 02:31:57,240 Speaker 3: willing to do so to bring him in. But I'd 2826 02:31:57,360 --> 02:31:59,040 Speaker 3: rather just see what I have on my roster right 2827 02:31:59,080 --> 02:31:59,959 Speaker 3: now than anything else. 2828 02:32:00,200 --> 02:32:02,360 Speaker 1: You want to see what's on my fantasy roster right now. 2829 02:32:02,440 --> 02:32:06,720 Speaker 1: I got six players in this Experts Industry league one 2830 02:32:06,920 --> 02:32:07,760 Speaker 1: won this last year. 2831 02:32:07,800 --> 02:32:08,120 Speaker 3: All right. 2832 02:32:08,840 --> 02:32:12,119 Speaker 1: My first pick was mccaffreck, like we talked about. Second 2833 02:32:12,200 --> 02:32:15,880 Speaker 1: pick was let me see who did I grab? Second? 2834 02:32:16,520 --> 02:32:18,080 Speaker 1: Was he k Metcalf? 2835 02:32:18,160 --> 02:32:19,119 Speaker 3: So twelve team league? 2836 02:32:19,840 --> 02:32:23,480 Speaker 1: So Metcalf's my number, my second pick, so that's all 2837 02:32:23,520 --> 02:32:26,280 Speaker 1: the way back snake swinging backund third pick, I took 2838 02:32:26,360 --> 02:32:30,320 Speaker 1: Mark andrews Okay tiight end values we talked about a lot. 2839 02:32:30,480 --> 02:32:33,320 Speaker 1: So we've got a few guys that are and Evan 2840 02:32:33,480 --> 02:32:36,920 Speaker 1: Ingram's a guy that's kind of an interesting case. Now 2841 02:32:36,959 --> 02:32:40,920 Speaker 1: that you get Calvin Ridley healthy and back in Jacksonville 2842 02:32:41,480 --> 02:32:44,360 Speaker 1: right coming off the suspension, but he had injury issues 2843 02:32:44,440 --> 02:32:47,600 Speaker 1: before that. But you get all those people in Jacksonville, 2844 02:32:47,600 --> 02:32:50,640 Speaker 1: how many balls for Trevor Lawrence because we'll talk about 2845 02:32:50,680 --> 02:32:53,680 Speaker 1: that once you we reconvene in two weeks, start talking 2846 02:32:53,720 --> 02:32:57,160 Speaker 1: about storylines and breakthroughs because Trevor Lawrence is a guy 2847 02:32:57,240 --> 02:32:59,760 Speaker 1: in big bold letters for a lot of people. But 2848 02:33:00,040 --> 02:33:03,760 Speaker 1: I grabbed him, and then I grabbed Rashad White. Oh yeah, 2849 02:33:04,280 --> 02:33:06,920 Speaker 1: dam now number one, I think right currently number one 2850 02:33:06,959 --> 02:33:08,640 Speaker 1: on the depth chart. Then I think you. 2851 02:33:08,800 --> 02:33:10,920 Speaker 3: Changed Jersey numbers. That's what I was talking about because 2852 02:33:10,920 --> 02:33:11,800 Speaker 3: I saw a creamsicle. 2853 02:33:12,959 --> 02:33:16,240 Speaker 1: Well, I figured we'd get to the creamsicle uh here, 2854 02:33:16,240 --> 02:33:18,680 Speaker 1: because we got to close out with uniforms and uh, 2855 02:33:19,080 --> 02:33:21,360 Speaker 1: what would it cost you to go take some of 2856 02:33:21,400 --> 02:33:25,400 Speaker 1: the physical challenges that are out there in terms of heat. Uh, 2857 02:33:25,760 --> 02:33:28,880 Speaker 1: you're already in a toasty place at your home, but maybe, uh, 2858 02:33:29,200 --> 02:33:31,160 Speaker 1: we'll take it up another notch. And then I grabbed 2859 02:33:31,200 --> 02:33:37,560 Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster with my sixth pick. Yeah, I like 2860 02:33:37,640 --> 02:33:39,080 Speaker 1: and hate my team at the same time. 2861 02:33:39,160 --> 02:33:42,920 Speaker 3: Well, hey Mac Jones, let's go. 2862 02:33:43,520 --> 02:33:45,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, he may be my backup before it's all said 2863 02:33:45,560 --> 02:33:48,080 Speaker 1: and done too.
