10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: with my best friend Mike Harmon. This time it counts

11
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: two big NBA games Right now. The Knicks trail the

12
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: Warriors by nine. Nixt show and look you speaking of gambling.

13
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 1: I mean like if someone called me and said, hey,

14
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: do you have a bet for me for tonight? I

15
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: would say the Knicks the second night of back to

16
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: backs without Jalen Brunson on the West Coast at Golden State, Yeah.

17
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 3: Take the Warriors. Yeah, but they're hanging around. I thought

18
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 3: they were gonna get blown out and fold up to ten.

19
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: Take the Warriors down nine right now, eleven minutes ago

20
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter hasn't been kicked out yet.

21
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 3: No, that's true. Well, Well, if you're betting Draymond to

22
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 3: get kicked out of a game. He got a technical.

23
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 3: Yet I don't believe he has Okay, I don't believe

24
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 3: he has. Still eleven and he's in the game, and

25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 3: he's in the game.

26
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, boy, the Hornets lead the Lakers in LA right

27
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: now by ten in the second half. We talked about

28
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: it last night. The Lakers have gone from no problems

29
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago to all kinds of problems.

30
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: They lose to Charlotte tonight at home, and it's still

31
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: it's middle of the third quarter. Man, it just gets

32
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: more and more dire to the fact that they need

33
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: something bold before the deadline. I mean, really, like a

34
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: month ago is they have no problems, everything is great,

35
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: but then Lebron comes back. They try to assimilate Rich

36
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: Paul says, maybe in a perfect world the Lakers trade

37
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: Austin Reeves for another player her and now it's like

38
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: he's sabotaging the Lakers.

39
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 3: Wow. I mean, he had a solution. It's a sad

40
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 3: he was. He was a problem solved, a sabotage. I

41
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 3: got an idea, that guy who's gonna be the number two?

42
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 3: How about But no, you get rid of him.

43
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: I want him just like the photo shot into the

44
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: Beastie Boys video in the beginning, he's standing up with

45
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: the camera on the ground that he's wrapped.

46
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 3: It's a sabotage. Like the best sab I like from

47
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 3: this game is one Colt Brenner and Vanderbilt got into it.

48
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 3: Your guy JJ Redding ran out the court to separate him.

49
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 3: Like that's been it. That's that's the big thing. Hey, Lebron,

50
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 3: how are things going with the Lakers? Now? Sold? Now

51
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 3: we're at a skate park and running around. We'll keep

52
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 3: one eye on both of these games. But look, the

53
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: big story of the night. It broke just as we

54
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 3: were getting on the air tonight.

55
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,399
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker, the number one free in Major League Baseball, surprise,

56
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: is going to the Dodgers four years, two hundred and

57
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: forty million dollars. He's getting sixty million dollars a year

58
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: as a guy the Dodgers can say, oh, yeah, we

59
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: can use somebody like that. That's great that he's the

60
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: end all be all for other teams that need him. Boy,

61
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: we need to put in middle our orders. We're gonna

62
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: compete this year. Yeah, we can have him or not

63
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: have that, Yeah, let's go, let's pay sixty million dollars

64
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: year form.

65
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 3: What do we get? Your reaction was like Steve Carell

66
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: and the forty year old Virgin when he's on the

67
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: table getting his chest waxed, and you yelled, Kelly Clarkson,

68
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: we're gonna give Cody Bellinger a lot of money. We're

69
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: gonna overpay for Trek School. Now. Look, to be honest

70
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 3: with you, is that I knew this was gonna happen.

71
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: And you know I knew this because we have the proof,

72
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: which is social media, Twitter last night and what we

73
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: said in the nine o'clock hour, in this hour last night,

74
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 3: when we talked about Kyle Tucker, there's times when you

75
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: know that someone is out there using leverage. And now

76
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 3: it's become pretty easy to see that when it doesn't

77
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 3: matter if it's a it's a baseball player, football player.

78
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:12,119
Speaker 3: When you get word that a contract offer has been

79
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 3: put out to a player, right, and we found out

80
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 3: yesterday both the Blue Jays and the Mets, two of

81
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 3: the three teams that were in on Kyle Tucker, had

82
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 3: put out offers to him. Right. The Mets was four

83
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 3: years and fifty million dollars a year. The Blue Jays

84
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 3: was between eight and ten years, between three point fifty

85
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 3: three seventy five million. Right, when you know that both

86
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 3: those offers are out there and there's only a couple

87
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 3: of teams talking to you, and these are offers that

88
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 3: are well within what you would say yes to, right,

89
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 3: I mean is, if you want the shorter term deal,

90
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 3: you're really going to say no to fifty million dollars

91
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 3: a year. If you want the longer term, you're going

92
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 3: to say no to ten years and nearly four hundred million. No,

93
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 3: you're not.

94
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: But the fact that these offers were still out there

95
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: and Kyle Tucker was unsigned, what did I say last night?

96
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: He does want either of these teams. He wants the Dodgers.

97
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: And all this was was leverage to get the Dodgers

98
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: to come close to what he's getting from the Mets.

99
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 3: And in the end they did to come close. They

100
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 3: wound up going over the top. But honestly, the Dodgers, oh, well,

101
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 3: look of course he overpaid, But they could have really

102
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 3: come back to Tucker and said we'll match the Mets offer.

103
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 3: What's he gonna say? No? It was pretty much the

104
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 3: same though. If that's where he wanted to go money

105
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 3: was the same. It was about, well, the Dodgers paying

106
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 3: ten million more year.

107
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: Then he wanted to win, right, Well, well, look I

108
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: can't fault him for go wanting to go to the Dodgers.

109
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you, right, I mean.

110
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: They're the best team in baseball, They're the Empire, They're

111
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: the team that is most set up to win for

112
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: the next three to five years. It's not even close.

113
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: I get it. But I told you letting you know.

114
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 1: Whenever there's an offer out there and a guy hasn't

115
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: said yes, it's very rare that he comes back and says, okay,

116
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: yeah that offer that was there, I'm gonna take that. No,

117
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: he's using it as leverage.

118
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 3: He kirk cousined his way, you know, like like Kirk

119
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 3: Cousins used the Jets to get that big record setting

120
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 3: contract from the Vikings where all nine million dollars he

121
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 3: was getting was guaranteed. Right, that was a big change.

122
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 3: The next big change was the Deshaun Watson contract where

123
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 3: all two hundred and thirty million dollars were guaranteed. Do

124
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 3: you do?

125
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: That was what he was waiting for. There was something

126
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: else out there. Okay, we got what we wanted. Let's

127
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: use this as leverage, right, So I knew last night

128
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: That's why I already had time to steal to myself.

129
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: The Mets weren't getting him, and I'm being honest when

130
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: I say it would have been great to get Kyle Tucker.

131
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: But I'm also not upset with with not paying sixty

132
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: million dollars a year for a guy that has had

133
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: injury issues, has not always been great, and is a

134
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: twenty five and ninety guy right at his best, he

135
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: is twenty five ninety and two seventy. That's really good, right,

136
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: it's been all started the last three years. That's really good.

137
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's not.

138
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 3: He's not a good player, but I'm not upset with

139
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 3: not paying him ten million dollars more a year than

140
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 3: I'm paying one Soto. I'm okay with not doing that

141
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 3: and saying let's go back and get somebody different, because

142
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 3: you can get somebody different for a little bit less

143
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 3: money that can give you twenty five and ninety. So

144
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm kay with not paying him that kind

145
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 3: of money. Now, again, it's not my money. But when

146
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 3: you worried about luxury tax and Sally, okay, you know

147
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 3: that's kind of how it goes. But I'm okay with

148
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 3: not giving him that money and losing him to the Dodgers,

149
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 3: all right. Like if the Mets had lost him to

150
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 3: the Rays or the Reds or the.

151
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: Guardians, where I'm taking that money that's very similar instead

152
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: of yours, I'd be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, what's going on?

153
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 3: Man? Are the Mets not a destination anymore? What are

154
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 3: their problems? But losing a guy to the Dodgers, Okay,

155
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 3: I get it. I get they won the last two

156
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 3: World Series and it's Otani and it's Freddy Freeman's and

157
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 3: the rich camera. I understand that. But I'm also at

158
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 3: the same time both things can be true. I am

159
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 3: not upset with him not getting it, and I knew

160
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 3: last night, which is why Jeff Passing and John Paul Morosi,

161
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 3: who I love the debt that all these guys I'm

162
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 3: the best baseball inside you could possibly have, because I

163
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 3: told you last night he wasn't going any of those. Yeah.

164
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 3: I mean, for some of it, it just comes down

165
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 3: to the As an organization and you're bidding for a

166
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 3: top free agent, you just have to recognize that the

167
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 3: Dodgers can always play improv appropriate here in Los Angeles

168
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 3: of yes and okay, you've got fifty million yes, and

169
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 3: what do we want to come over the top with? Right,

170
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 3: it's the you know, a little extra at the end

171
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 3: of the meal, the little extra, however you want to

172
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 3: term it, to get you on board. And that's the

173
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 3: unfortunate game that a lot of gns and owners have

174
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 3: to play in. And you have to decide how much

175
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 3: you want to do that, how ridiculous you decide an

176
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 3: offer has to be to where the Dodgers suddenly walk

177
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 3: away from the table. We'll tell you what if they

178
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 3: want the guy bad enough and they know it can

179
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 3: hurt you enough. Even if it doesn't, you know, to

180
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 3: your point, you can find another guy with some of

181
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 3: those numbers. And Tucker's just coming into his prime. As

182
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 3: Steve alluded to in our conversation earlier, a bunch of

183
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 3: injuries second half for a day on second half. Now

184
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 3: it was him. It's Pete crow Armstrong. They struggled mightily,

185
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 3: the Cubs did in the middle of the order second

186
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 3: half of the season. But he's only twenty eight. So

187
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 3: you're still saying, hey, the best is yet to come

188
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 3: and all of that stuff that you could roll through.

189
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 3: That's like a gambling thing, isn't it Wasn't that a

190
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 3: casino ad repeated the best was yet to come. I

191
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 3: think I know it's old. I know it's an old song,

192
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 3: that old staple and notch or whatever else, but you know,

193
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 3: been used again going with the gambling theme with a

194
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 3: lot of this a puppet, a pirate, a cub and

195
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 3: an astro and now I'm a dodger. No, it's pretty good.

196
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 3: Fifty d million, make it six d million, blank you,

197
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 3: Steve Cohen. But you have to realize that you're also

198
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 3: not just hurting them potentially on the field, right because

199
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 3: you've got to go and find now the replacement the Mets,

200
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 3: But you're also creating unrest in the fan base. Now,

201
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 3: you could try to be the voice of reason here

202
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 3: ahead of our beautiful Fox Sports banner here on Fox

203
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 3: Sports Radio. But you know, Joe Q public in New

204
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 3: York and the talkers in New Yorker wah wah, wah

205
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 3: wah about how bad Steve Cohens biff and things because

206
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 3: he can't land the big fish. Yeah he's got soda,

207
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 3: but Pete Alonso's not there. To shield any of the

208
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 3: incoming anymore pet Alonso, they could have had they decided

209
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 3: not to it. But they like Peter. The people like

210
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 3: pet al I'm saying it, he comes, and now you

211
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 3: start fighting the public perception and you're losing on the

212
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 3: back page of the fish wrap and all that. So

213
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 3: the Dodgers not only get the guy, they weaken your

214
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 3: hold over your city, maybe forcing you to more bad moves.

215
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 3: If we played a game tomorrow, I'd be worried. But

216
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 3: we don't, and we have the best farm system in baseball.

217
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 3: We can make a treadle. We're gonna have a star

218
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 3: guy in left field. We're gonna get another star pitcher.

219
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 3: We don't play tomorrow. I'm absolutely in the end. Last year,

220
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 3: you might as well have had the season the White

221
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 3: Sox did, because you know what, I didn't sweat until

222
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 3: the end of September. It was over. You had to

223
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 3: spend a lot of energy, the lot of eggs. I

224
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 3: spent the entire season in the sauna, and then you

225
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 3: were done, just like the Whites the entire time. And

226
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 3: then just like the White Sox, as soon as that

227
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 3: postseason was started, you were hanging out and came to.

228
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: Look for the Dodgers, because we have there's a bigger point.

229
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: There's another bigger point to make about this coming up

230
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: in a few minutes. But for the Dodgers, look, I mean,

231
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what to say. What

232
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 1: do you get the team that has everything right?

233
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 3: Like a little more do? Yeah? Right? They needed an outfielder,

234
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 3: now they got him right, and and and they continue

235
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 3: to find a way to go get the players they want,

236
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 3: whether they need them or not. And the thing is

237
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 3: is that I didn't think it would be Kyle Tucker, right,

238
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 3: because this this is now, but it's going to be

239
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 3: known as the Kyle Tucker rule, the Kyle Tucker. Kyle

240
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 3: Tucker lost the Tuck rule as much the Tuck rule.

241
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 3: Uh go tuck Y. So this now has twenty nine

242
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 3: other owners and teams in Major League Baseball pissed that

243
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 3: the Dodgers can keep doing this, and Rob Manford has

244
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 3: not done anything to stop the one man army from

245
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 3: buying their way through baseball. You thought it was Steve Cohen. Oh,

246
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 3: we can't let Steve Coen do. I'm gonna put in

247
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 3: Steve Cohen tax. Don't worry about it. The Dodgers said,

248
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 3: oh yeah, great, we're gonna work around that and do

249
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 3: our thing. So you're worried about Steve Cohen, the Dodgers

250
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 3: were who you had to worry about. Now. I would

251
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 3: want my team to do the same thing if I

252
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 3: was If I that's I want. Hey, you're not circumventing rules,

253
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 3: you're not doing anything illegal. But I guarantee you this move,

254
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 3: there's gonna be twenty nine owners calling Rob Manford tomorrow going,

255
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 3: this can't happen anymore. You gotta do something.

256
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: And I didn't think it would be Kyle Tucker, he

257
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: of the twenty five home runs, ninety RBI two, seventy

258
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: batting average.

259
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 3: I thought it would be Shoeo.

260
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: Tani when they got him and they said, we're deferring

261
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: all the money till way, way later. But this is

262
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: what's going to put in a rule that's gonna stop

263
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: the Dodgers from loading up every year that Baseball understands

264
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 1: this is they're finding a way to continue to do this.

265
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: This is not helping us compete. This is not helping us.

266
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: This is hurting us our business. We're not in for

267
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: big free agents. When then, when when Dodge allowed to

268
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: do this.

269
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 3: Whatever rule is going to be put in, Rob Manford's

270
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 3: gonna have no choice but to do it. And you're

271
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 3: gonna see something over the course of the next year

272
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 3: that when we get to this part next year, the

273
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 3: Dodgers aren't going to be able to load up this way.

274
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 3: And it could be something crazy where if you sign

275
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 3: a player of this silk one offseason, you can't sign

276
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 3: a player of that level the next off seat. Whatever

277
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 3: it's going to be, there's gonna be something in there,

278
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 3: because now at this point, the other teams have had

279
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 3: it with this and the Dodgers eve olampire is going

280
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 3: to continue. But you will see some kind of rule

281
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 3: in the next year that's going to stop the Dodgers

282
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 3: from loading up every year. Well, if you don't like it,

283
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 3: take your giant cash payout and leave. I think part

284
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 3: of the text chain will be the how much did

285
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 3: we get off the national TV revenue share last year?

286
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 3: How many asses and seeds for those home games when

287
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 3: the Dodgers came in. Can we really attribute to the

288
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 3: fact that you know, they all came in wearing Dodgers uniforms,

289
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 3: basically head to toe.

290
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 1: The Dodters coming to town. We make money when other

291
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 1: teams come into town. We don't make money, right all right, which.

292
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 3: Means everybody's gonna let it keep going because in the

293
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 3: end it affects a handful of team where we're talking

294
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 3: about the Kyle Tuckers of the world. You're not worried

295
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 3: about Tampa effect, but it's market teams and now those

296
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 3: are the ones that pushed this. They're gonna be mad,

297
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 3: but they lose to everybody else but your in terms

298
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 3: of a voting. But you're looking at a team that

299
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 3: is effected.

300
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: Who knows when the next Dodgers might show, Hey, we're

301
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: gonna find we like the way they defer money and

302
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: do X, Y and Z.

303
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 3: Now we're gonna do that. And then the Cardinals are

304
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 3: going to do it, or the Yankees find a way

305
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 3: to do it, and that they had they had the

306
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 3: idea to do it for Steve Cohen. Now they trust me.

307
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 3: There's gonna be a big push and it's gonna be

308
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,360

336
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: Hornets lead the Lakers one oh four ninety three. Early

337
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, you number three forty rebounds, dude,

338
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: Zoe was having I mean, he is just he's just

339
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: pushing Jacob Rabia.

340
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 3: Around the war I mean, it's really amazing. That'll do it. Hey,

341
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 3: By the way, we have an update. Mike uh down

342
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 3: in Jacksonville. Made sure he was listening. Thanks for chiming in,

343
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 3: because we were watching your Nicks and the Warriors. Yeah. Literally,

344
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 3: as we finished talking about that, they had gone to review.

345
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 3: Draymond was assessed a flagrant oh tripping Karl Anthony town Wow. Literally,

346
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 3: as we transitioned into our Kyle Tucker talk. Okay, finished

347
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 3: that review and assessed the penalty. Well, as we said,

348
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 3: there was eleven minutes left in the game. There you go, like, literally,

349
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 3: as that.

350
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: Happened, boom hasn't helped the Knicks because they're down by

351
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: fourteen with seven minutes left. But like I said last night,

352
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: if someone said to me, hey, you have any advice for.

353
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 3: Tonight in sports, I'm like hmm. The Knicks without Jalen

354
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 3: Brunson on the road the second night of a back

355
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 3: to back against the Warriors. Yeah, I think the Warriors.

356
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 3: That's a pride like the Warriors. Pretty good. Not that

357
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 3: it would be my lock of the year, but boy,

358
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 3: to be close, Warriors were either six and a half

359
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 3: or seven and a half, depended on when you got it.

360
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 3: Uh so again one thirteen ninety six. Right now it's

361
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 3: a seventeen point lead with six minutes to go in

362
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter. Maybe Jalen Brunson is Jalen Brunston. Tyres

363
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 3: Haliburton looked like they could be the NBA MVPs. What's

364
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 3: great is they're both guys that have been known to

365
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 3: be big fans of the Wwe actually have a car

366
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 3: to them standing in a trading you know, pleasantry. Yeah, okay,

367
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 3: I mean really and now they're the co MVPs sitting

368
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 3: on their butts.

369
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: You look at what the mark of a team is,

370
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: how good are what happens when they don't have you

371
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: in the lineup? Well, you see what happens to the NIXT.

372
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: You see what happens to the Pacers. Uh yeah, that's

373
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: kind of it. It's it doesn't get any simpler than that.

374
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 3: What Jonathan Kaminga doing, Well, we'll get to We'll get

375
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 3: to Kaminga because that's a really big story today, not

376
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 3: that it's just well Jonathan Kaminga. Yeah, that's gonna turn

377
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 3: out to be a really big story. We'll tell you why.

378
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 3: But here we are now, twenty four hours after John

379
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 3: Harbaugh was named or for it was announced he was

380
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 3: going to become the next head coach of the New

381
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 3: York Giants. Right, And we talked about this a lot

382
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 3: last night. Adam Schefter had the report. So now that

383
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 3: the dust has settled, right, Okay, so Harbaugh to the Giants,

384
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 3: and that really needed to be the first domino to fall.

385
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 3: The best head coach always needs to be the first

386
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 3: one to pick his landing spot, especially if he's gonna

387
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 3: wind up talking to everybody, because well, we don't want

388
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 3: to miss out on what could be the best guy.

389
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 3: Maybe he's not gonna come talk to us, but he

390
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 3: was set to talk to Tennessee after the Giants. I mean, really,

391
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 3: to do an o'clock just going to talk to everybody.

392
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 3: I refuse to travel, so we're doing it on zoom.

393
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: How do you feel about cam Ward. Heck of a goalie.

394
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put him out there between the pipes. Sixty

395
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: nights a game. Great, we love you. Let's go like,

396
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: don't land.

397
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 3: Uh but this this is where things sit right now,

398
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 3: and say, okay, head coaching openings and we're talking about

399
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 3: guys like Stefanski and Tomlin's walk Away and the Steelers.

400
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 3: It is kind of a you know, I like dystopian

401
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 3: novels and read a lot dide post apocalyptic stuff. It's great.

402
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 3: I'll read the most worst bull crappy kind of because hey,

403
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 3: it's post apocalyptic and do you have do you have

404
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 3: your lifetime supply of food stuff in storage? Or what

405
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 3: the entire Mets franchise is dealt with in a post

406
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 3: apocalyptic way. Okay, just so you know, he's got a

407
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 3: whole series of novels no I read, No, I just

408
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 3: thought I just finished reading one, uh two nights ago

409
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 3: that was about the zombie apocalypse happens in London and

410
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 3: it's like three months after and a doctor is asked

411
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 3: to work on uh, the new project that's looking for

412
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 3: a cure. Right, they've killed all the infected in London,

413
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 3: in England and they're looking for a cure now, and

414
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 3: she has kept her husband alive while she hopefully looks

415
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 3: for your cure. Because she's a doc. She gets into

416
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 3: the she wanted to get into the program where they're

417
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 3: looking for a cure, and she's keeping her husbands like

418
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 3: Frankenstein like she's you know, like and I'm like, oh,

419
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 3: that's pretty interesting. I read it and I got about

420
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 3: halfway through. I'm going, this is too tedious. How do

421
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 3: you make a zombie apocalypse novel tedious? It's way too

422
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 3: t I don't even know the scene of her in

423
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 3: the bedroom with the husband who was chained to the

424
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 3: bed and just groaning. I'm like, come on, give me

425
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 3: a now. The end of the book got well, I

426
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 3: mean I've seen that on other movies for years. Lean

427
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 3: is where she meets Brad Pitton. Yeah, he's not anywhere

428
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 3: near this Moe. It's called One Yellow Eye. And I

429
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 3: like the ending because you know, the zombies all have

430
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 3: one yellow eye and that's how you tell her they are.

431
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 3: But I'm like, boy, you really made this tedious. And

432
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 3: you made this tedious, how do you make a zombie

433
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 3: apocalypse if you've made something like that? Come on?

434
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: So anyway, uh, I read all post apocalyptic stuff.

435
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 3: And the coaching landscape right now in the NFL really

436
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 3: has that Cormack McCarthy the Road kind of post apocalyptic

437
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 3: landscape to it because the jobt here Because you think

438
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 3: about it like this, a outside of John Harbaugh and

439
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 3: a little bit of Kevin Stefanski, it is not an

440
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 3: exciting landscape for hiring coaches, right. Mike Tomlin's not going

441
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 3: to jump to another job. He's going to take a

442
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 3: year off. Maybe more baby's on TV, but there's no

443
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 3: more exciting guys. This is not last year where hey

444
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson had sizzle, Aaron Glenn had sizzle, Mike Rabel

445
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 3: had sizzle. There's none of that this year as well.

446
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 3: We're really reaching to the bottom of the barrel for

447
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 3: who we think are.

448
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: The next great offensive minds, right, because that's really where

449
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: things have gone to in the last few years. It's okay, well,

450
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: who's the next great young offensive mind, Who's the next

451
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, Who's the next Sean McVeigh. So Kevin O'Connell

452
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: gets jobs and you found so that's what everybody's looking for.

453
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 3: But when it's not there, it becomes really difficult. This

454
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 3: is not the year to need a head coach in

455
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 3: the NFL, right because outside of Kevin Stefanski, who else

456
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 3: you have out there? It's like, I don't know. When

457
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 3: you couple that with the fact that the majority of

458
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 3: the coaching openings are an absolute mess that I want

459
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 3: no part of, you have a bleak landscape. Man Like,

460
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 3: if you want to rank the head coaching openings, which

461
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 3: I like to see people do all the time, let's

462
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 3: rank the head coaching openings. Okay, the Giants was great,

463
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 3: but that's been filled. Pittsburgh is okay because you're gonna

464
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 3: get a lot of time, but you have a lot

465
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 3: of changes have to be made to the sure and

466
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 3: you never know when Art Rooney's gonna decide. Yeah, I'm

467
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 3: done with given everybody ten years. But you also still

468
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 3: haven't bottomed out right, right, And that's that's been the

469
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 3: hard part is you haven't even hit rock bottom. So

470
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 3: the decision whether they were ever gonna go down the

471
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 3: firing line with Tomin or not, it ended up not

472
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 3: having to go there, but you have the you've never

473
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 3: hit that point for a full reset.

474
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: I mean, the Giants was a great opening. The Steelers

475
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,479
Speaker 1: is good because of the time you're gonna get right

476
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: because they don't fire coaches. Everything else is a mess.

477
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: Atlanta is a mess. Do you really have that franchise

478
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: quarterback and Michael Pennix Junior, a guy that hasn't flashed

479
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: and can't stay healthy, or you're gonna be starting over

480
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: a quarterback. And guess what, if you're starting over a quarterback,

481
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: they'll be starting over with a new coach in a

482
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: couple of years.

483
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 3: Well, but that's the problem with all of these, right,

484
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,959
Speaker 3: you go down the full nine, there's only two of

485
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 3: the jobs where you had a quarterback saying that's my guy,

486
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 3: that's it, that's it, and maybe a third if you

487
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 3: decide you like Jacoby.

488
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: His own right, So Atlanta is a mess. Baltimore, you

489
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 1: have a deteriorating Lamar Jackson. Right, you don't have Lamar

490
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 1: Jackson beginning of his career. You have Lamara Jackson where

491
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: Steve Baschatt he's already said he's got to redo his contract,

492
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 1: and we got to redo his contract because it's too

493
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: much money.

494
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 3: We got to go out and get other things. Right,

495
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 3: he's gonna be doing like seventy four million or something

496
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 3: against the Yeah, but Lamar Jackson, you're in You're in

497
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 3: the back last few years of his career, and was

498
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 3: this year in aberration or is this kind of who

499
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson is where he's not nearly his mobile can't move,

500
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 3: whether it's injuries or whatever else.

501
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: So Baltimore is not great. Cleveland's a mess. You're looking

502
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: for a quarterback.

503
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 3: You're starting over Vegas looking for a quarterback, starting over Miami,

504
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 3: looking for a quarterback, starting over Tennessee.

505
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: You have a quarterback, but is he really good? No

506
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: one knows, So maybe you're starting over again Arizona. You

507
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: have to get rid of your longtime starting quarterback and

508
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: get another guy and hope that Jacoby Brissett is actually okay.

509
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: None of these openings are good, right, it's it's the

510
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: Giants was great, Pittsburgh is okay, the rest it's wow.

511
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: So when you have the combination of seven openings that

512
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: aren't any good and the number of guys for that opening,

513
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: there's nobody great out there. This is this is not

514
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: chocolate meats, peanut butter with Reese's peanut butter cup man

515
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: going nicely done.

516
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 3: This is not this is oil pean water cups in

517
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 3: that vending machine there that should be good.

518
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: This is olive Oil meets I'm mcvinagrett, which you know

519
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: they can't.

520
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 3: They just on the sides of each other. I really

521
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 3: thought you were going to go down to the Wimpy

522
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 3: Bluto and Popeye run there with an olive oil kind

523
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 3: of reference. But you look at all these jobs, but

524
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 3: what do you always come in if you want you

525
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 3: either want a quarterback that you can build with or

526
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 3: a quarterback that you can go get. You don't have

527
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 3: that either. Right, We've been talking about it, which is

528
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 3: why would Dante Moore deciding to go back to school?

529
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 3: He was your only your second guy. Now would other

530
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 3: guys go in the first round? Sure, Simpson and maybe

531
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 3: some others remember that name, that might end up in

532
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 3: the first round just because of need. But we don't

533
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 3: even have that class where we say, okay, I compare that,

534
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 3: we'll draft a quarterback here in the first round and

535
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 3: we'll start the rebuild process. No, no, no, you're going, all right, well,

536
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 3: are we in the business? Are we bringing Intua or

537
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray or are we going to get Kirk Cousins? Right,

538
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 3: those are the we're looking at in terms of all right,

539
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 3: I'm going to take a head coaching job and try

540
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 3: to build and resurrect a franchise, and maybe it's my

541
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 3: first bite at the apple. Like, none of this is

542
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 3: something that you get really excited about. Again, Pittsburgh could

543
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 3: turn on a dime. Suddenly the Ruinis just a are

544
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 3: firing squads. You know, Mike, Tom what's gone. That's the

545
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 3: end of an era, and now we're going to operate

546
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 3: like the rest of the NFL. Down comes in for

547
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 3: a year and gets fired. You really want to Adam

548
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 3: goes back in front of a body. Yeah, but all

549
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 3: about to say, like Lamar, We've talked about it a lot.

550
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 3: We've gotten spoiled by these quarterbacks going into a second

551
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 3: decade this last ten to fifteen years, whereas before that,

552
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 3: if you got to year eight, hey man, you made

553
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 3: it and then some right. We don't normally see that

554
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 3: in particularly for guys where a lot of their early

555
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 3: value was predicated on being able to elude a pass rush,

556
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 3: make big plays, carry the ball one hundred plus times

557
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 3: a year like Lamar Jackson did. I don't know if

558
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 3: this was dissatisfaction with the offense and Monken, whether it's

559
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 3: lingering injuries, that he couldn't do it? Was it a

560
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 3: all right, if I don't do this, maybe we'll actually

561
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 3: give the ball to twenty two where it should be going,

562
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 3: which they didn't do many times. All of that to

563
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 3: say you have no idea, I mean, I guess that's

564
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 3: by default because eighty percent of Lamar Jackson is still

565
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 3: better than anything else you're dealing with.

566
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: I mean, look beyond it. It's a risk. It's not Hey,

567
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 1: I can go coach Lamar Jackson. It's oh what Lamar Jackson?

568
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,719
Speaker 1: Am I getting? Am I getting the Hall of Famer?

569
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: Am I getting a guy who's done right? We get

570
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: a guy that couldn't run and couldn't get outside the

571
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:39,959
Speaker 1: pocket anymore.

572
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 3: Is it because he's injured? Is it because his body

573
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 3: is breaking down? Is it because he wanted harball out

574
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 3: and wasn't trying? Like it's a risk, Like that's the

575
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 3: biggest thing. Like usually, hey, when there's coaching openings, whether

576
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 3: it's three, five, seven, nine, there's there's at least there's

577
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 3: at least three to four where hey, you have some

578
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 3: dudes in here. It didn't work and we need somebody

579
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 3: because the team is underachieving. But now you have all

580
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 3: these you have so many teams that are just starting over,

581
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 3: like Tennessee, Miami, Vegas, Cleveland, they're all starting over. Atlanta's

582
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 3: a mess, and you're not inheriting a good quarterback situation.

583
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 3: Like we talked about what's going on with Baltimore, right,

584
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 3: and the same thing with Arizona. You're starting over again,

585
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 3: right because you've gotten to the end of the Kyler

586
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 3: Murray James Connor run. You thought it was gonna do

587
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 3: for you because James Connor was hurting. He's over thirty.

588
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 3: So you're either starting over or you're in bad situations

589
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 3: with quarterbacks. And to come in, not only that, to

590
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 3: have a situation where you have bad openings, you don't

591
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 3: have great candidates and oh, by the way, let's make

592
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 3: up for it by having a draft class where there's

593
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 3: no quarterbacks in it. I mean, this is a Bermuda

594
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 3: triangle of badness for the NFL when it comes to

595
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 3: That's why I say bleak post apocalyptic dystopian landscape. It's

596
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 3: that curiosity. Do we go down the road like with

597
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 3: Dante morgoing if you try to hide from a head

598
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 3: coaching jobs, like say you're Jesse Minter and you say

599
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 3: I'd rather coach up this Chargers defense again. You know

600
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 3: which teams are waiting for you next year. If you

601
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 3: go back into the coaching realm, say save damn teams.

602
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 3: I'll catch you next year. No, we won't be Oh yeah,

603
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 3: we'll be here next year. Don't worry. We'll be here

604
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 3: waiting for you same time next year. Sweaty and grimy

605
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 3: and desperate. Oh, we're waiting here next year. One yellow eye,

606
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 3: just waiting, one yellow eye.

607
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: Try not to find out what's trending in the wide

608
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: rule of sports from someone who's been called the Jonathan

609
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: kaminga of Fox Sports Radio. He's told us he wants out. Oh,

610
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: but that's out of the studio to go home, because

611
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: he's been working every day this week. It's Steve Desager.

612
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:47,240

690
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 3: four four years. Uh, the big shocking story of the night.

691
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: Well, because we told you last night he was going

692
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: to be a Dodger, Tucker goes the Dodgers four years,

693
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty million dollars, a signing bonus for

694
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: him that's going to help defray the cost of his

695
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: of his deal. Signing by I believe is somewhere in

696
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: the sixty million dollars. I think sixty four million dollars

697
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: signing bonus. The Mets we just.

698
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 3: Got word their final law for to him was very close.

699
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: It was four years to twenty with a seventy to

700
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,959
Speaker 1: seventy five million dollars signing bonus, and Kyle Tucker chose

701
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: the Dodgers.

702
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 3: Again, I'm not upset. If he chose the Tigers or

703
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 3: the Angels over the Mets, then I'd be like, there's

704
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 3: a problem. But I get choosing to die. I understand that.

705
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: But this is what I'm afraid of, right, This is

706
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: what I'm afraid of now, because now here's Kyle Tucker,

707
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: who has gone for the most money per year in

708
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: baseball history, angering all twenty nine other owners who are like,

709
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: that's the guy you had set the market?

710
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 3: Really, Now all these other.

711
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: Free agents are gonna say, hey, that's what you're paying

712
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker. Hey, I could be a twenty five and

713
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: ninety and two seventy three hitter. I could be that guy.

714
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 3: Right.

715
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: So, now all twenty nine other on mad because the

716
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: Dodgers gave that kind of money to Kyle Tucker.

717
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 3: Sure, but are you sure it's all twenty nine?

718
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: But here's okay, twenty of the teams, half ten half

719
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: the league five still but they'll still all be mad.

720
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 3: But it's just me, but will affect about half the league.

721
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 3: So but this is what I'm afraid of now because

722
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 3: this is such a big deal. He's the number one

723
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 3: free agent and now you're taking him off the board.

724
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 3: Teams want to compete.

725
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: So now, how much is a guy like Bobashett gonna get?

726
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 3: What the hell is the Yankee and Met bidding war

727
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 3: for Cody Bellinger gonna wind up getting to? I was

728
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 3: this week. I was like, hey, come on, man, if

729
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 3: Bellinger comes down, they can get him for three or

730
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 3: four years, and Mets'll get him. Now I think they're

731
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 3: gonna give him nine years and four and a million dollars,

732
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 3: which is I don't want to give that to Cody Bellinger.

733
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 3: But that's what I'm afraid of now for both my

734
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 3: team other teams that now there's going to be a

735
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 3: panic because we've waited a long time. In the middle

736
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 3: of January, pitchers and catchers are about a month away.

737
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 3: My dad tells me every day, you know, thirty six

738
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 3: days still pitchers and catchers. Yeah, Dad, I got it.

739
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 3: He's still wearing that guy's paying thirty five day with

740
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 3: Justin Lampson's pants every other day, every other day, every

741
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 3: other day, every other day. But that's that's my big

742
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 3: thing now because think about what the domino effect of

743
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 3: him signing is going to be. What's Bellinger's contract going

744
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 3: to be, maybe not for nine years, but it's going

745
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 3: to be about fifty million dollars a year, Boba Schett,

746
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 3: he could be about fifty million dollars a year. Now,

747
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 3: you are going to see teams panic and shake, and

748
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 3: the top teams that feel they are one or two

749
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 3: players away from the World Series are going to way

750
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,760
Speaker 3: overpay for guys that aren't that big difference makers. Because

751
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 3: this is not a great free agency crop. I never

752
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 3: feel bad about teams that are going to pay money

753
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 3: for guys who are really good, right.

754
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: I never feel bad about that, because, Okay, you got

755
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: to spend to get a guy, right, if it's a

756
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 1: starting pitcher, I don't want to spend, but you got

757
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: to spend to get a guy, right.

758
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 3: I understand that. But this is not a great crop

759
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:02,919
Speaker 3: of free agent free agents out here. Now.

760
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker is the best a guy who had a

761
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,760
Speaker 1: bad second half last year again, who is a career

762
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: when he stays healthy for one hundred and forty one

763
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: hundred and forty five games, twenty five home runs, ninety RBIs,

764
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 1: it's about two seventy.

765
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 3: There's about thirty to thirty five guys in Major League

766
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 3: Baseball that go twenty five and ninety And Kyle Tucker

767
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 3: is a guy now that's getting sixty million dollars. I

768
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 3: am so I am so full of anxiety that I'm

769
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,479
Speaker 3: gonna wake up tomorrow and see a board the next

770
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 3: couple of days and see a big overpayment for players

771
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 3: that aren't worth it. And it's not just gonna be

772
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 3: my team. It's gonna be the Blue Jays are gonna

773
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 3: do it, The Yankees are gonna do it, the Giants

774
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 3: are gonna do it, the Padres are gonna do it,

775
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 3: the Phillies are gonna do it. All these teams.

776
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: Now, I're gonna say, well, we have to answer somehow,

777
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: and there's not a lot of chairs out there. We

778
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: had to make sure we grab a chair before we're

779
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: left standing with nobody. Well, it's a great game of poker, right.

780
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 1: It's like bidding on something at a charity.

781
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 3: Auction and realizing that well, nobody was going within fifty

782
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 3: percent of what you bid, right, It's like, Oh, shouldn't

783
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 3: I get it at the next increment? No, you put

784
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 3: down one thousand dollars, you're giving us one thousand dollars

785
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 3: online auctions whatever else. Same thing here is you're trying

786
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 3: to figure out what that number is. And if we're

787
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 3: talking about those top elite and elite is all a

788
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 3: relative term on a year to your basis, Like you're

789
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,720
Speaker 3: saying that you're going in for one of those guys, well,

790
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 3: then you're paying what the market rate is. And if

791
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 3: the market rate, to your thinking, is too rich for

792
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 3: what that guy's impact is, guess what, don't bid on him?

793
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,439
Speaker 3: Just saying we have to fill this slot. Well, in theory,

794
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 3: you got a minor league. In theory, you can go

795
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 3: down the chain and maybe find someone that's half that value,

796
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 3: which when you run the numbers, right, this is the

797
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 3: old moneyball strategy of he gives you just as much

798
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 3: output in terms of what he's going to mean on

799
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 3: the field. Now does the other guy? I put more

800
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 3: asses and seeds, maybe sell a few more jerseys, excite

801
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 3: some of your sponsors locally, to activate them and do

802
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 3: bigger sales or sweet sales or whatever. That's what you

803
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 3: have to decide, Right, where's the ancillarity money? Hey, this

804
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 3: is how many parking spots this guy's worth because the

805
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 3: overpay and he edit eight your money. The only thing

806
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 3: you can worry about is if it precludes you from

807
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 3: going out into the market for free agent number two. Yeah,

808
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 3: that's a big thing. And with the Mets, if that's

809
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 3: what you're worried about, you're just mad that Cohen can't

810
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 3: play the same He's trying to play the same game,

811
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 3: but he's losing. We got one Soto last year. I

812
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 3: think we're doing okay. You missed the playoff.

813
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: I think we're doing okay. We got the best free

814
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: agent that's going to be out there for a decade.

815
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good that we have won SODO and

816
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: don't have Kyle Tucker. I feel But you were mad

817
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 1: at what they paid him last I feel okay about

818
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: that now. I'm okay with that because it's not going

819
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: to preclude them from going out and getting others.

820
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 3: But that's their right. But the hood from the five

821
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 3: about the money they are though, Yeah, then that's again

822
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 3: you're in the wrong business. Yeah, but it's it's still

823
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 3: going to be a situation where you're gonna see teams

824
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 3: panic and when owners won't go past the luxury tax

825
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 3: and you're stuck with a really really bad contract, there's

826
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 3: no way out of it. You just have to sit

827
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 3: and wait it out, and there's no way out.

828
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: And that's I'm afraid of is that, you know, my

829
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 1: team or other teams are gonna go out and say, well,

830
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: let's go overpay for Cody Bellinger. Wow, man, that hole

831
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: in the swing is not gonna age. It's not gonna

832
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: age well in the next few years. I don't want

833
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: him for nine years, but someone's gonna give me nine

834
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 1: years because I can't panic and lose him and not

835
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: get Kyle Tucker.

836
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 3: We gotta go get somebody.

837
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, that's a contract, that's an albatross,

838
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: and that drags you down.

839
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 3: That's I'm afraid of. Albatross. Got a big story out

840
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 3: of the NFL and NBA. Next fuck
