10
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 2: what's up, man? How you doing?

11
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 3: I'm doing all right, man, I'm doing all right. I'll

12
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 3: tell you what. This week, a lot of things happened

13
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 3: that involves football, even though football is not being played.

14
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 3: I definitely am starting to feel like we're hitting that zone.

15
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 3: Like my wife actually asked me tonight after dinner. She said,

16
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 3: when college football start? And I said a couple weeks.

17
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 3: She said, I can't wait. I'm like I knew I

18
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 3: married the right woman soon.

19
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 2: Maybe soon. It's amazing. And you know, we've led the

20
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 2: show and we've said, oh, there's a lot, but there

21
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 2: are times, especially you know, June July whatever, especially once

22
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals finished, where it feels like, you know,

23
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 2: there's interesting conversations to be had. But sometimes by the

24
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: time we get on air on Saturday, it's two three

25
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: days old, you know, a trade demand and this and

26
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,199
Speaker 2: that at Dame Lillard or whatever. It's not often in July, Jason,

27
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: but it is proof that football is here, that we

28
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 2: get breaking news to lead the show. Not totally breaking,

29
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 2: but about an hour ago we found out that Jonathan Taylor,

30
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 2: who of course led the NFL and rushing two years ago,

31
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: had some injuries last year, has requested a trade from

32
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: the Indianapolis Colts and Jason, this is a little bit

33
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: of a nuanced story here, you know. Obviously it comes

34
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: on the heels of a lot of different a lot

35
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: of different conversations about the running back position. We talked

36
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: about sa Quon last week. He agreed to a one

37
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 2: year contract, but you know, a day or two after

38
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 2: we got off air, but also you know, a back

39
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: and forth between him and the organization. He wants a

40
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: long term deal, he's not gonna get it, and he

41
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 2: met with Jim Ersay today and there's actually a little

42
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: bit of mixed reports. Jason, you know some people are

43
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: saying that he actually requested the trade a few days ago.

44
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: Today it becomes public. A lot of things going on.

45
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: I should mention, by the way, Jason, there's some wild

46
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 2: jim irsay sound that did just come out. Chris go

47
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 2: Ahead played the jim irsay sound from the last couple

48
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: of minutes.

49
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 4: If I die tonight and Jonathan Taylor's the league, no

50
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 4: one's gonna miss us.

51
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: The league goes on.

52
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, we know that the National Football

53
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 4: rolls on. It doesn't matter, you know who who comes

54
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 4: and who goes.

55
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: That was jim irsay, yes, yes, So I wanted to

56
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 2: play that. It was I think in response to to

57
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: the Jonathan Taylor trade demand. It wasn't you know anything

58
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: that led to the demand. But clearly, listen, it's another

59
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 2: story with a running back who believes he's undervalued. My takeaway, Jason,

60
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if you feel the same. Is Jonathan

61
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 2: Taylor basically saying I'm not waiting. I'm not gonna be

62
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 2: Saquon two point zero or whomever. I want my money now.

63
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 2: I want it done. Now. What did you make of

64
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor demanding this or I guess the term is

65
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: requesting a trade, but it's a trade demand.

66
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 3: I would say, what you just said is part of it,

67
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 3: and the other part is this if it happened after

68
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 3: he had the conversation with Ursay, this is just I

69
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 3: mean again, and this is all we can do because

70
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 3: we don't know what happened behind closed doors. Someday maybe

71
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 3: we will, but I just assume if I'm just in

72
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 3: my head trying to figure out what happened to that conversation.

73
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor believes the team should be built around him.

74
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 3: He believes that because of the way he's running football,

75
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: especially in a division that look Titans right down the

76
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 3: road have built around a running back for the better

77
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 3: part of the last half decade, actually going back even

78
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 3: further than that. We'll see how long that's gonna last.

79
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 3: But it was Dereck Henry and Jonathan Taylor there for

80
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: a minute across the NFL as the two guys that

81
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 3: you could really trust running the football on a week

82
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 3: to week basis, And he was getting a ton of

83
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 3: touches two years ago in particular, and then when Derek

84
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 3: went down, Jonathan Taylor took the lead in terms of

85
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 3: the rushing title and all those things. So, yes, he

86
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 3: wants to get paid right now. But I have a

87
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 3: feeling that Jim Mersey said, we're building the team around

88
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 3: Anthony yep meaning Anthony Richardson, meaning we're not building the

89
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 3: team around you. And even if he didn't say it

90
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: that way, this is how it really goes. We can't

91
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 3: pay you like we're building the team around you. Even

92
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 3: if we value your contribution, we have to build the

93
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: team in a different way. If we want to win

94
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 3: a super Bowl, we can't do it through you. As such,

95
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 3: you can't command that much of our payroll. We value you,

96
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 3: but there is a limit to that value. That's that's

97
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 3: just my opinion on it.

98
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: So it's interesting because we talked about this last week

99
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: with Saquon, But I think there's something too. You know,

100
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: Derrick Henry's maybe the one guy that's really you know,

101
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 2: probably been happy with his contract the last few years.

102
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 2: He's also the outlier that is just going strong at

103
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 2: an advanced age. Right So I'm looking at his stat

104
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: totals right now. Last year played sixteen games, almost sixteen

105
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: hundred yards rushing. I know, obviously in twenty twenty one

106
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: he did have injuries, still rushed for almost a thousand

107
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 2: yards in eight games played full season in twenty twenty

108
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 2: sixteen games two thousand yards, seventeen touchdowns fifteen games at

109
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, sixteen games in twenty eighteen, both one thousand

110
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: yard seasons. And so I bring it up because, like

111
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 2: you know, if if Derrick Henry is the comp within

112
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 2: the division run based offense, that's fine. But I go

113
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 2: back to what I said with Derek Henry last week

114
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: as far as the Saquon Barkley analogy is concerned, and

115
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: that's that Derrick Henry is one of one. And oh,

116
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 2: by the way, that is a team in an organization

117
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 2: at Tennessee, their Super Bowl window is now, Indianapolis is rebuilding.

118
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: Indianapolis has a rookie quarterback. And I do think I'll

119
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 2: say this is I get what you're saying, Jason, but

120
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 2: I would almost take it the other way from Jonathan

121
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: Taylor's perspective of you kind of need me right now

122
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 2: because you do have a rookie quarterback, you are going

123
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 2: into year one, we know he's a project. Then I

124
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: don't know if these are all things that Jonathan Taylor

125
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 2: has thought about, but I think My opinion on the

126
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor News today is a couple things. Is One,

127
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be sae Quan two point zero. We're

128
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,559
Speaker 2: not gonna be arguing about this a year from now. Two,

129
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 2: I kind of think you need me, And then I

130
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 2: think three. The other element to this Jason is, of

131
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: course he's coming off a season in which he just

132
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: played eleven games. You have another season like that, and

133
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 2: obviously what goes with out saying nobody's wishing injuries upon

134
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 2: any It makes it that much harder to go to

135
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 2: the negotiating table. So I get the sense that he

136
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 2: feels like his leverage is if he thinks he has

137
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: leverage or so. I'm not sure that he does think

138
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: that he has leverage, but he's trying to create it.

139
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 2: I feel like he's like, my moment is right now.

140
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: If I wait another year, it's gonna be much harder

141
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 2: to pull this move as opposter right now.

142
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with that. I mean, and I think

143
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 3: I think all of that is true. And I think

144
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:31,239
Speaker 3: that ersay and and where the Colts find themselves. They're

145
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 3: not anywhere close to a super Bowl right now, but

146
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 3: I think that Ersay in his brain is saying, I

147
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 3: do not want to be nine and eight for the

148
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 3: rest of my time. I don't want to be ten

149
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 3: and seven every year. Because they've been searching for a

150
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 3: quarterback since Luck and you know, you had Rivers and

151
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 3: you could have brought him back a second year, but

152
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 3: he was he decided he was gonna walk away. Matt

153
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 3: Ryan didn't work out, you know, Carson Wentz didn't really

154
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: work out. So they're not that close. And to Taylor's right,

155
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 3: they do need him right now, but they need him

156
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 3: to be ten and seven. They don't need him to

157
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 3: be fourteen and three. That I think is the difference.

158
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 3: They're still searching for a quarterback in as long as

159
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 3: they are. If I'm URSA, I'm like, well, I can't

160
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 3: pay him that much money. I might need to build

161
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 3: around Anthony if he's the guy, But even if he's

162
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 3: not the guy. In the back of my head, I'm

163
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 3: thinking this is the time where I might be able

164
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 3: to get some serious value for Taylor. If JT comes

165
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 3: out this year gets injured again, then his value is

166
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 3: gonna plummet. You always want to trade when the guys

167
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 3: still got a little bit left in the tank, or

168
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 3: even you know, maybe even middle ground in the tank,

169
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 3: and I think that might be part of it as well.

170
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 3: But in terms of Jonathan Taylor's side, totally agree, and

171
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 3: he plays a Again, remember the issue for and I

172
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 3: said it last week, the issue for Saquon was guaranteed money.

173
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 3: It was making sure you were getting paid upfront, because

174
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 3: as a running back that's crucial because if there are

175
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 3: injuries and all of those kinds of things, I still

176
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 3: want to make sure that I mine up front. And

177
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 3: I think that Jonathan Taylor wants to get paid quickly.

178
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 3: Running Backs want to get paid now because they're certainly

179
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 3: not promised tomorrow because again, unless they score or get

180
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 3: out of bounds, they get hit every single time they

181
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 3: touch the football, and they touch it a lot more

182
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 3: than anybody else on the field outside of the quarterback.

183
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 2: It's a great point, could I argue, you know, you

184
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: mentioned a few times the idea of overtime. You're gonna

185
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: have to build her on Anthony Richardson. But is it

186
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 2: the argument pay Jonathan Taylor now because you're because you

187
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 2: have Anthony Richardson on a rookie contract, or is the

188
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: argument that even if you pay Jonathan Taylor, it's going

189
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 2: to be too much of the cap to build anything

190
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 2: else successful on me.

191
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think that I think there is

192
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 3: something to that. I think that the best friend for

193
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 3: an Anthony Richardson or for a young quarterback is somebody

194
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 3: dependable in the backfield that can get them out of trouble,

195
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 3: get them out of a jam, convert on third down

196
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 3: and four give you downs to that are manageable throughout

197
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 3: the game. Make it so that it's not all on

198
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 3: you and that you can grow into the role. And

199
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 3: JT has been that, He's been very dependable. He's been

200
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 3: somebody that you can rely upon. So I like that theory.

201
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 3: I like that idea. I just think that I think

202
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 3: we have moved into an era and this is why

203
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 3: we're seeing running back summits and running backs wanting out

204
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 3: in all these different places. I think the biggest problem

205
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 3: for these running backs is where exactly are you're going

206
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 3: to go? Because everybody has the same idea, meaning all

207
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 3: the teams value the running back about the same and

208
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 3: so if you're trying to get out of one situation,

209
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 3: it might not be that much better for you when

210
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 3: you walk out of there trying to get a ton

211
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 3: of money from somebody else, because they're all looking at

212
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 3: where the landscape is of the National Football League and saying,

213
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 3: we gotta pass it, we gotta catch it, we gotta

214
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 3: score big time points. Playing crowd control and clock control

215
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 3: with a running back just ain't the way anymore. Look

216
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 3: at the teams that are making it high octane offenses,

217
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 3: not running the ball, you know, first down, second down,

218
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 3: throwing it on third and six, and that's how it works.

219
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,719
Speaker 3: Like nothing, nothing feels the same anymore. So I think

220
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 3: that's the problem for running backs is they're gonna run

221
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 3: into the same problem, no pun intended anywhere they.

222
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 2: Go one thousand percent. And I think the other thing

223
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 2: too is obviously, if for Jonathan Taylor, you're looking for

224
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 2: a long term contract and obviously a lot of guaranteed

225
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 2: money as well, anybody who probably wants you is in

226
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 2: a super Bowl window right now, probably isn't looking to

227
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: commit to you for long term. So it's an interesting

228
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 2: thing because you know, and we see this sometimes in

229
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 2: the NBA, where a guy makes a trade demand and

230
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 2: maybe the market isn't as big for him as he thinks.

231
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: And actually that was one of my first thoughts, Jason,

232
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 2: was what was the idea that maybe, just maybe, I

233
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 2: don't know who's trading for him. I don't know who's

234
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 2: eager to trade for him given everything that's going on

235
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 2: with the running back position. Fox Sports Radio eron Torres

Speaker 2: broadcasting live from thee Tireck dot com studios. If you

271
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 2: missed it. To open the show, we did get to

272
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 2: the big news of the day. Yes, breaking news out

273
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 2: of training camp in Indianapolis where Jonathan Taylor, who just

274
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 2: too seasons ago, led the NFL in rushing has demanded

275
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 2: a trade from the Indianapolis Colts. This is obviously on

276
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 2: the heels of all of the chaos with the running

277
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: back position. Sa Kwon Barkley had his whole deal then

278
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 2: obviously signed his extension. It is worth noting Jason I

279
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: didn't even mention it last segment, but Jim Irsay did

280
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: send out that tweet, which obviously probably was not very

281
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 2: well received. Jim Ersay earlier this week saying NFL running

282
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 2: back situation. We have negotiated a CBA that took us

283
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: years of effort and hard work and compromise in good

284
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 2: faith by both sides. To say now that a specific

285
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 2: player category wants another negotiation after the fact is inappropriate.

286
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 2: Some agents are selling bad faith now. Ersak later clarified

287
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: that he wasn't talking about Jonathan Taylor specifically, just the

288
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 2: running back position, but obviously not the best look for

289
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 2: Jim Irsay. And now Jonathan Taylor has demanded a trade,

290
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 2: But as Jason and I just discussed here a moment ago,

291
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: it'll be interesting to see what the market is for him,

292
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: or if this is a ploy to get a new

293
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 2: contract extension. Whatever it is, we will keep you updated

294
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 2: if we hear anything new over the next few hours.

295
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 2: Obviously to Seger will have updates throughout the night as well. Jason,

296
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 2: I do want to switch gears to some of the

297
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: other news of the week from the NFL, because, as

298
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: you said, you know, last week it felt like it

299
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 2: was in the air, you could feel it. The Jets

300
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: had reported, but not really everybody else. Well, this week,

301
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 2: everybody's there, you know, Big ten media days in college

302
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: acc media days. So we're here. Training camps are opening

303
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 2: in the college level. USC actually opened their camp but

304
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: yesterday they play in Week zero. Pretty much everybody else

305
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: starts their camps this week in college football. So it's here, Jason,

306
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 2: and there's all sorts of news coming out, and I

307
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 2: do want to get to something that I found very

308
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 2: interesting throughout the week. I know it's not necessarily super

309
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 2: newsworthy at this moment, but you know, I think it's

310
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 2: an interesting conversation to have. And that was the news

311
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: that we found out about Aaron Rodgers essentially electing to

312
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 2: give back thirty five million dollars off of his contract

313
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 2: with the New York Jets. Was supposed to originally get

314
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 2: one hundred and ten million over the next two years

315
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 2: is down to only seventy five. So you know, he's

316
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 2: still getting paid very handsomely to be the New York

317
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 2: Jets starting quarterback. But Jason, I thought this move really

318
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: spoke to me that this guy is all in, not

319
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 2: just on Aaron, not just on you know, the surface

320
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 2: level things that listen at times in Green Bay. It

321
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 2: was weird between him and the front office. But I

322
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 2: also and you and I were both critical, honestly of

323
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 2: some of the decisions he made that seemed to be

324
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 2: Aaron first rather than team first, And so I want

325
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: to take a moment. I want to give him credit.

326
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: He's giving back money. It's clearly gonna go back into

327
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: the organization. They had Dalvin Cook in town this week,

328
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 2: So I don't know where you stand, but I thought

329
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: this was a very solid gesture by Aaron Rodgers this week.

330
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 3: It was I mean, look, you can always point to

331
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 3: it and say, well, how much money does he already have?

332
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 3: What's he actually giving up? I don't care, man, nobody

333
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 3: wants to give up thirty five million dollars. It's just

334
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 3: I mean, we can dog out Aaron Rodgers and we have,

335
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 3: believe me, over the last couple of years together, we

336
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 3: have spent plenty of time dogging out Aaron Rodgers. But

337
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 3: when somebody gives up thirty five mil, and it certainly

338
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 3: appears like, hey, I'm giving us back because I want

339
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 3: us to go out there and do a couple of

340
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 3: other things. Let's shore this thing up and make a

341
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 3: real run of this. I think you got to give

342
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 3: the guy props. I think you got to give him

343
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 3: a little bit of credit and say, at the very

344
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 3: least the public feeling that he is giving off is

345
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 3: I want this team to win. And that matters, especially

346
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 3: for Jets fans that have craved it for such a

347
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 3: long period of time, to get somebody in there that

348
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 3: you weren't sure how dialed in they were, how much

349
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 3: they still cared, all of that. I think at this

350
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 3: point you've just got to say, at the very least,

351
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 3: he is winning. He's winning the preseason, he's winning the summer,

352
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 3: He's doing a lot of things to give you some

353
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 3: hope if you're a Jets fan that this is not

354
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 3: just some you know, narcissism tour, that there's something to this.

355
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 3: And I do think that behind if you really think

356
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 3: about it, if you're Aaron Rodgers, aren You look at

357
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 3: this and you say, Man, if I could win with

358
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 3: the Jets, no one's ever gonna forget me. Sure, And

359
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 3: if you, even if you're a total narcissist, I'd want

360
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 3: to win with the Jets because of what it means,

361
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 3: because of what it would mean when by it's like

362
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 3: the same thing. It's going and winning a championship with

363
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 3: the Knicks or being a part of the Cubs World Series,

364
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 3: which we actually got to see a handful of years ago.

365
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 3: It's just a special thing. If he could win with

366
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 3: that franchise that's been the butt of every joke, literally

367
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 3: the butt fumble of every joke for such a long

368
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 3: time in this league, except last year because you started

369
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 3: to see it turn you know this is this is

370
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 3: a perfect moment for him to come in and write

371
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 3: a completely different story for his final act. And I

372
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 3: think he is taking advantage of it. And I think

373
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 3: you got to give him props and say, this is shrewd,

374
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 3: but the timing of it couldn't be better.

375
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 2: By the way, your butt fumble joke or unintended joke

376
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 2: got a chuckle out of disagre over there in the studio,

377
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 2: so neither here nor there. But someday when we have

378
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 2: nothing to talk about, I'll tell you my story of

379
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 2: where I was for the butt fumble, because it was

380
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 2: pretty hysterical to see it all in real time. But

381
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 2: to Aaron Rodgers and the Jets, you know. I so,

382
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 2: first of all, I agree with everything, and what I

383
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 2: would say is, I'll be honest. When he got to

384
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,719
Speaker 2: New York and he did the whole you know, appearance

385
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 2: tour where it goes to a Rangers game one night,

386
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 2: then he goes to a Knicks game and he's hanging

387
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 2: out with Sauce Gardner, and he's hanging out with Garrett Wilson,

388
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 2: and you know, he's Jessica Alba was there. Whatever I

389
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 2: did think I thought at that moment, I said, is

390
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 2: this just is he doing this because it looks good

391
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 2: as opposed to because he's actually invested in making relationships, creating,

392
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 2: you know, creating relationships his new teammates, and so I

393
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,719
Speaker 2: don't know what his intentions were with that, but I

394
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 2: was a little skeptical. Okay, we heard all the negativity

395
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 2: in Green Bay that he wasn't around during the off seasons.

396
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 2: You know that he wasn't trying to build relationships with

397
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 2: young guys, specifically the wide receivers last year. Is this

398
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 2: genuine to your point, when you give up money doesn't

399
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 2: matter how much you have in the bank. That is

400
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 2: a literal putting money where your mouth is commitment to

401
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 2: I am here to win and I am here to sacrifice.

402
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 2: And so I just I don't know. I don't know

403
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 2: what else to say. I just I love this story.

404
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 2: I love the you know about face if you will

405
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 2: from Aaron Rodgers now maye. The thing that I keep

406
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 2: coming back to is I do think this is a

407
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 2: little bit of a middle finger to Green Bay, which,

408
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 2: by all.

409
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 3: No doubt, there's no You're dead right. I was thinking

410
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 3: about that. He was almost like, yeah, so, just so

411
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 3: you know, guys, one of the reasons why I was

412
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 3: such a jerk in Green Bay.

413
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: I really didn't like you exactly. No, there's no doubt

414
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 2: about and so and listen, by the way, I'll say,

415
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 2: I'll sort of defend him on it, like they they

416
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 2: drafted his replacement, and I get it right, everybody is

417
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 2: going to be replaced at some point. He was probably

418
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 2: thirty four to thirty five years old when Jordan Love

419
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,479
Speaker 2: got drafted. I get it. He had the ultimate revenge,

420
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 2: winning two MVPs two number one seeds in the playoffs.

421
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 2: It didn't work out, but he got his revenge. But again,

422
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 2: for whatever the reasons were for why he acted the

423
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 2: way he did in Green Bay, I just want to

424
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 2: give him credit here because I remember on these airwaves

425
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 2: Jason talking about the fact that I thought it was

426
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 2: selfish to be, you know, to to demand or want

427
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 2: to be the highest paid player in the NFL. I

428
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 2: get it. I get I'm never gonna blame anybody for

429
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 2: making money. But to the point we just made, He's

430
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 2: made a lot of money. And when you make that

431
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 2: much money, it makes it that much harder to build

432
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 2: a contender around you. And so by giving back money,

433
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 2: he's doing the exact opposite. He's saying, I've got mine,

434
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 2: I'm good, But where can we improve? How can we

435
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 2: use this money? Whether it Islvin Cooker, whether it is

436
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 2: somebody else. I don't know what else to say. I

437
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 2: know I'm going around in circles here, Jason. I just

438
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 2: give this guy a ton of credit, because again, it's

439
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 2: not a proverbial, it is a literal putting money where

440
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 2: your mouth is.

441
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is again like you can look at it

442
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 3: and say, well, why did he do it? It doesn't

443
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 3: matter why he did it. He did it. It's a

444
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 3: positive move and it's super smart. It's a savvy, savvy,

445
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 3: shrewd move.

446
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 7: It just is.

447
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 3: And if you're a Jets fan, you should put a

448
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 3: little bounce in your step, honestly, because even if he's

449
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 3: doing it to stick it to the packers, even if

450
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 3: he's doing it to stick it to the haters, even

451
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 3: if he's doing it out of spie, nobody is better

452
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 3: at spiteful winning than Aaron Rodgers. That dude won multiple

453
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 3: MVPs after they drafted Jordan Love. That tells you all

454
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 3: you need to know. This is a guy that as

455
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 3: long as he's healthy, it just feels like to me,

456
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 3: he's going to try to play inspired. Now is that

457
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 3: going to be enough? I have no idea at his

458
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 3: age and the level of quarterback play throughout the NFL

459
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 3: and how it's raised and how it's a lot deeper,

460
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 3: especially in the AFC, But I think you're going to

461
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 3: get the best Aaron Rodgers that could have existed anywhere

462
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,199
Speaker 3: in the NFL this coming year with the Jets.

463
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 2: Don't disagree with that at all, and I will say

464
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,479
Speaker 2: I know it goes out saying, but it is going

465
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 2: to be so exciting to watch that guy and that

466
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 2: team in that division because, as you said, Jason, a

467
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 2: lot of really interesting pieces, but they obviously need the quarterback.

482
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,720

488
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 8: give Texas a lot of money to help pay him.

489
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 8: The Mets get double A shortstop Luis on Heel Acunya,

490
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,120

Speaker 8: twenty two million dollars for a year and a half

498
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 8: of Surezer, while the Mets have to pay over thirty

499
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 8: five million to get rid of him. The Mets were

Speaker 8: Mets eight to four. The Cubs have won seven in

505
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 8: a row. They had a rain delay at Saint Louis

506
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,040

507
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 8: seventh Cubs lead the Cardinals four to one, and the

508
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 8: Cardinals said pregame they are not dealing third baseman Nolan Aernato.

Speaker 8: Mariners are tied at Arizona three to three in the

510
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 8: bottom of the eighth. The A's are winning big again.

513
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 8: are leading the Rangers for nothing in the top of

514
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 8: the seventh, and the Dodgers are shutting out the Reds

Speaker 8: after seven innings.

520
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 2: How about this.

521
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 8: The Braves are now outscoring opponents just in first innings

522
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 8: this season one oh seven to thirty. Six best in

523

Speaker 8: the major leagues, a run differential of plus seventy one

524
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 8: in first innings that is more than double the next

525
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 8: closest team on the list. What a game on Fox

526
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 8: TV for much of the country from San Francisco. Boston,

527
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 8: riding a five game winning streak, scored two in the

528
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 8: top of the ninth to tie the game, and then

529
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 8: brought in closer Kenley Jansen, and on the first pitch

530
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,920

548
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 2: live from the Tirek dot Com studios. So fun night

549
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 2: to have our resident Denver Broncos fan, Jason Martin. It

550
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 2: may be did you see your coach this week? Jason, Yeah,

551
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 2: I did. Who that's my coach? You're like Terrell Owens,

552
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 2: like back in the day, that's my coach. That's my coach. Yes,

553
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 2: so I yes, yes, yes, so thank you, thank you.

554
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 2: So it was a busy week and I there it

555
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 2: was an apology yesterday. I'll just I know everybody knows

556
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 2: the story by now, but let me just let me

557
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 2: just set it up and then I know that Sean

558
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 2: Payton did walk it back, but he did say in

559
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 2: an interview with USA Today earlier this week, he was

560
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: asked about I don't know exactly what he was asked about,

561
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 2: but he was not afraid to share his opinions on

562
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 2: the previous regime, obviously led by Nathaniel Hackett. He said, oh, man,

563
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 2: there's so much dirt around that. There's twenty dirty hands

564
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 2: for what was allowed tolerated in the freaking training rooms,

565
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 2: the meeting rooms, the offense. I don't know, Hackett. A

566
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 2: lot of people had dirt on their hands. It wasn't

567
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 2: just Russell. That wasn't Wilson's fault. That was the parents

568
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 2: who allowed it. That's not an incrimination on him, but

569
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: an incrimination on the head coach, the GM, the president,

570
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 2: and everybody who watched it happen the front office in

571
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 2: the ownership. Are the two reasons that I came here,

572
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 2: he continued, and he at one point, I'm trying to

573
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 2: find the quote here he said it was one of

574
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 2: the worst coaching jobs that he's ever seen. Now, he

575
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 2: did run it back yesterday, just got in my ear

576
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 2: and told me, which I knew, but it's still amazing

577
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 2: that he said that on the record. He did say yesterday, listen,

578
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 2: I had one of those moments where I still had

579
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 2: my Fox Network TV had on not my coaching hat.

580
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 2: I said this to my team. We've had a great

581
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 2: offseason relative to that. I've been preaching that message and

582
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 2: here I am the veteran stepping in it. It was

583
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 2: a learning experience for me, a mistake. Obviously, I need

584
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 2: a little bit more filter. So Sean Payton does sort

585
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 2: of walk back. I mean he doesn't sort of. He

586
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 2: did walk back the quotes, but not before just lighting

587
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:39,479
Speaker 2: the Nathaniel Hackett regime on fire. Jason, where were you

588
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 2: What were you doing when you first heard of Sean

589
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 2: Payton going nuclear on the former coaching staff.

590
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 3: I mean, you sent me a message about it, and

591
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 3: then I went to actually see what was said, and

592
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 3: here was my takeaway about it. I kind of applauded

593
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 3: in my head, like, yeah, this is not the most

594
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 3: tactful thing. But what was not true about what he said?

595
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 3: It was one of the worst coaching jobs we've ever seen.

596
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 3: It was one of the worst failures we've ever seen

597
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 3: from a franchise that came in with a whole lot

598
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 3: of positives going into the year. Here's what I thought.

599
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 3: I thought, Yeah, you probably don't say this out loud,

600
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 3: but I am very, very pleased that this is how

601
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 3: he feels in his head, because it's exactly the way

602
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 3: he should feel. He should feel like, man, that team

603
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 3: should have been a whole lot better. There were some

604
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 3: serious problems here, and as he's been there for a

605
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 3: few months, he's gotten the reports, he's heard what happened.

606
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 3: He's gone and watch film, he's looked at all of this,

607
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 3: he's gotten the lowdown, and he knows. I mean that

608
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 3: dude's won a lot of games in this league. He's

609
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 3: won a super Bowl. He's pretty brash, he's pretty confident,

610
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 3: some would say arrogant. All of that's there, but this

611
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 3: is exactly what that franchise needs. It's the exact opposite

612
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 3: of what they had. They had experience, they had bumbling, stumbling,

613
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 3: and they had they really had their players kind of dominant,

614
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 3: especially Russell Wilson and what was happening there with his

615
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 3: trainer and all that kind of stuff that was going on.

616
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 3: I'm glad that Sean Payton feels this way now him

617
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 3: walking it back. It just wasn't a nice thing to

618
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 3: do to say stuff about I mean, Hackett's not a

619
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 3: bad guy, the fraternity of coaches all that. It just

620
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 3: didn't play very well. And so I understand why you

621
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 3: pull it back, But he's right. Everything he said he

622
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 3: was dead right. So as long as he feels that

623
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 3: way in his head, then he knows exactly the direction

624
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 3: he feels like the team should be going. And I'm

625
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 3: excited about what that could look like.

626
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 2: Tell you what, Jason, I have two thoughts in reaction

627
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 2: to what you just said. I agree with you. I

628
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 2: love the quote. I did not have a problem with

629
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 2: Sean Payton walking back, and I think there is a

630
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 2: bigger message that he is trying to deliver. Tell you what,

631
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 2: Jason will discuss that next error towards Jason Martin broadcasting

643
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 2: want to hit I want to continue this conversation on

644
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 2: Sean Payton. I think everybody knows by now, but was

645
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 2: very critical of the previous regime and then walked it back,

646
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 2: you know, kind of said, hey, you know, I was

647
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 2: an an I was on TV last year. I let

648
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 2: I was wearing the analyst hat whatever. So a couple

649
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 2: things on this one, and you kind of hit on

650
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 2: it at the end. And I think you're the perfect

651
00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 2: person to ask this. As a Broncos fan, I had

652
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 2: no real problem with him walking it back because I

653
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 2: don't think he really meant the apology. I think I

654
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 2: think he very clearly wanted a message out he got.

655
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm let me even backtrack here, Jason. We

656
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 2: know how this business works, okay, And Sean Payton's been

657
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 2: doing this a very long time. This isn't a first

658
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 2: year head coach that has never been in front of

659
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 2: a microphone before, you know, the you know, the Belichick

660
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 2: coaching tree, doesn't let his assistants do interviews, all that

661
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 2: good stuff. I think it was very measured, very calculated,

662
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 2: and then of course it got back to Robert Sala.

663
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 2: Robert Sala had a few choice words. Robert Sola. Of course,

664
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 2: the Jets head coach Nathaniel Hackett now works for the

665
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 2: New York Jets. But I bring it up, Jason, let

666
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 2: me just start there. I had no fundamental issue with

667
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 2: the apology because I don't really think, hey, I don't

668
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 2: really think he meant it. I think he meant what

669
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 2: he said. Originally he wanted his message out there, and

670
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 2: then once it got out there, then he ran it back,

671
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 2: and as you know, as we always say, right like

672
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 2: the retraction in a newspaper and forgets as much headlines

673
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 2: as the initial article, the initial headline. I didn't have

674
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 2: a problem with him running it back. A lot of

675
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 2: people made that a big deal. Jason.

676
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think what you're saying is right.

677
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 3: I kind of thought the same thing. It's kind of

678
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 3: can you get the jury to disregard? But the jury

679
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 3: heard what was said, So I've never really believed that

680
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 3: you can. I mean, you can't unring the bell at

681
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 3: that point in time. They've heard it. You can't unhear

682
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 3: it at that point in time. They could say you

683
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 3: cannot use this information, but it's in your head. At

684
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 3: that point, Sean Payton said what he said, he backtrack.

685
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 3: You know what, I should have been more tactful. I

686
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 3: shouldn't have said that. That was out of line. That

687
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 3: was too far. Da da da da da. I don't know.

688
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 3: I immediately kind of thought to myself, Yeah, I don't

689
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 3: know that. I believe that. He really believes that. But

690
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 3: he also got his point out there first. Once he

691
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 3: got it out there, that's gonna be stricken from the record. Yeah,

692
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,720
Speaker 3: but we remember you said it, like, it's not about

693
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 3: the apology, it's about the statements. That's what we led with.

694
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 3: We talked about what he said said, not that he

695
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 3: retracted it. It's not a redacted document that we now

696
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 3: can't see from the Pentagon. Like this is Sean Payton saying, yeah,

697
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 3: I might have stepped a little bit over the line here.

698
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 3: That wasn't exactly the nicest thing that I could have done, right,

699
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 3: But we remember what you said. And by the way,

700
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 3: I'm kind of cool with it, Like it's all right,

701
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 3: this is exactly what you want, isn't it. Like I

702
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:31,479
Speaker 3: saw a fleet of you know, pundits and everything else.

703
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 3: Oh he stepped over line, you can't be like this

704
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 3: and all this kind of stuff. But that's what we

705
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 3: asked them to do. We don't want coach speak, We

706
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 3: don't want everybody to say nothing all the time. This

707
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 3: was juicy, This was content. And by the way, most

708
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 3: of the people saying he went too far buried Nathaniel

709
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 3: Hackett last year, buried him six feet under, buried Russell Wilson,

710
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 3: him on the airplane doing knee highs and all that

711
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 3: kind of stuf. It was a running joke. So Sean

712
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 3: Payton coming in and saying, you know all that stuff

713
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 3: you guys were mocking last year, Yeah, it was right.

714
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,919
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, it was worse than you thought.

715
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 3: It was an embarrassment to professional football. It was an

716
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 3: embarrassment of an organization, and it's not gonna be that

717
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 3: way on my watch. I got zero problem with it.

718
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 2: Let me jump in. I also have no problem with

719
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 2: it because, as I said a minute ago, I think

720
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 2: there was a bigger message there, and I think a

721
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 2: lot of people have talked about it this week. But

722
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 2: I also think what was very clear to me was

723
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 2: in him saying it. The initial comments. Now, whether the

724
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 2: you know, the retraction, the reaction whatever was part of

725
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 2: it as well. I don't know, but I think what

726
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 2: he wanted to do with those comments is exactly what

727
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,720
Speaker 2: you just said, Jason, which is let the world know, Hey,

728
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 2: you all buried Russell Wilson all of last year, you

729
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 2: got in your jokes, and he has a Oh my goodness,

730
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 2: the audacity of him to want an office in the building.

731
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, that's so terrible. Oh he's doing knee

732
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 2: highs and stretches on the airplane to London. And it's like,

733
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 2: what that said to me was basically, I got my

734
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,240
Speaker 2: quarterbacks back. And if you think that he's the problem,

735
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 2: or if you think that you're gonna get away with

736
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 2: publicly going after him, then you got another thing coming

737
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 2: to you. That was the other part that really stood

738
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 2: out to me, Jayson. I truly believe that was what

739
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 2: the message was about. And also that's why I don't

740
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 2: have a problem with the redaction, because he got the

741
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 2: message out. This isn't Russell's fault. If you're coming after Russell,

742
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 2: you're going after the wrong guy. Now what percentage does

743
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 2: Sean Payton really believe that it's as that the pie

744
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 2: chart is as much Nathaniel Hackett as he made it

745
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,919
Speaker 2: out to me that I don't know, but I think

746
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 2: what that message said to me was very loud and clear.

747
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 2: It wasn't Russell's fault. All you guys got your shots in.

748
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 2: He's still the guy. We believe in him. I wouldn't

749
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 2: be here if it wasn't for him. So if you

750
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 2: want to blame anybody, blame the guy that was in

751
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 2: the building that's no longer here.

752
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I think that's right. I think that generally.

753
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 3: And he even said, you know, Russ didn't lose everything

754
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 3: last year. It's not like all of a sudden he

755
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 3: can't play anymore. So he laid he laid the blame

756
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 3: with the outgoing regime and everything else to happen. And

757
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 3: you're right, that backs up Russ, and it says, hey, Russ,

758
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 3: I'm taking as much of this off you as I can.

759
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 3: I'm taking it off you. I believe in you, and

760
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 3: I believe in what we can do together with my

761
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 3: system and all this. I also think there's a secondary

762
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 3: message behind that, which is I will tell you this though, Russ,

763
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 3: if it doesn't come back, if you don't listen to me,

764
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 3: if things don't go, well, this is what I'm capable

765
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 3: of next off season. Also, I think there's that part too,

766
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:50,399
Speaker 3: like I am giving you as clean a slate as

767
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 3: you can get at this point in time, which is

768
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 3: not perfectly clean, but certainly I'm trying to take a

769
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 3: lot of this off you. Now it's on you to

770
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 3: go win for games, and I'm gonna give you everything

771
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 3: that I can to make that happen. Now you've got

772
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 3: to do your part. I don't think it's necessarily as

773
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 3: much pressure, but it is a message to Russ, all right,

774
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 3: you're getting a second chance here, don't blow it.

775
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 2: I think that's totally fair and I think, you know,

776
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 2: I think it's all part of the master plan. But

777
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 2: I just think it speaks to again, you know. One

778
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 2: like you said, is that, hey, I'm putting confidence in you,

779
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 2: but now you got to deliver. It's just there's a

780
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 2: new share. It's it's just that there's a new sheriff

781
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 2: in town. And I'm just really excited now. Now he's

782
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 2: got me fired up to see what this team is

783
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 2: capable of. Jason, Because listen, go back a year and

784
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 2: we'll be quick on this. But you go back a year,

785
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 2: there was a reason Russell Wilson wanted Denver. It was

786
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 2: that young talent. Now they got the coach to back

787
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 2: it up.

788
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 3: Jason, Oh yeah, that's right, and that it's the exact

789
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 3: opposite of what they had last year. You're gonna know

790
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 3: by the end of this year if Russell Wilson is

791
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 3: actually washed or if you need to retract that statement,

792
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 3: if you're one of the people that said he was

793
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,919
Speaker 3: done last year, you're gonna get that opportu. We're going

794
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 3: to know if it doesn't work this year. You've seen

795
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 3: both extremes, a complete newcomer as head coach and an

796
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 3: offensive guru and a quarterback guru as head coach. Something's

797
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 3: gotta give.

798
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 2: Something's got to give, and we will learn very soon

799
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 2: because college the NFL is here and it's time to go.

810
00:40:55,880 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 2: the NFL, but also another busy, tumultuous week in college sports.

811
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 2: Two stories that I want to get to. The first

812
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 2: one is obviously the news of Colorado going to the

813
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 2: Big twelve. Now, I don't know if you and I

814
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 2: have necessarily specifically talked about that on this show, but

815
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 2: it's something that has been rumored for months, you know,

816
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 2: the PAC twelve. And we'll get to the PAC twelve

817
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 2: side of things of this in a minute. But the

818
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 2: PAC twelve has been looking for a TV deal. I

819
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 2: know we've talked about that because we talked about PAC

820
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 2: twelve Media day last week on the show. We played

821
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 2: some sound from the commissioner and it's been kind of

822
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 2: a bleak picture and all the reports, all the indications

823
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 2: are that if there was one school that was ready

824
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 2: to jump that wasn't going to waste any more time,

825
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 2: it was Colorado. Well, Wednesday, there's a meeting with the

826
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 2: PAC twelve school presidents, they still have no tangible TV

827
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 2: contract presented to them. Again, the TV contract expires at

828
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,439
Speaker 2: the end of this season, so as of right now,

829
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 2: the PAC twelve only exists on paper until June of

830
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, and that is assuming of course, that

831
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 2: they get a new TV deal then they would continue on.

832
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,760
Speaker 2: So this is all a long winded way of me saying,

833
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 2: Jason that Colorado goes to the Pack, goes from the

834
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 2: PAC twelve to the Big twelve, the latest piece of

835
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 2: realignment news. And I'll be blunt, Jason, I don't know

836
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 2: that I'm really all that surprised by it.

837
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't know. It just feels like

838
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 3: the PAC twelve kicked the can down the road a

839
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 3: little bit too long. They just kind of lollygagged and

840
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 3: dragged their feet and let other people get ahead of them,

841
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 3: and when they had the opportunity to try and strike

842
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 3: and make moves, they just weren't fast enough. It's like

843
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 3: they weren't decisive enough. They rested on their laurels, and

844
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 3: maybe they got a little bit complacent and felt like,

845
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 3: you know, just the prestige of their conference and what

846
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 3: it means in terms of being a bunch of research

847
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 3: universities and things like that that it was gonna hold.

848
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:59,320
Speaker 3: Because of that, not recognizing that the landscape had shifted,

849
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,879
Speaker 3: the power distribution have become much more uneven, I think

850
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 3: than everyone realized. Now we probably knew it more so

851
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:10,919
Speaker 3: than a lot of folks, but like, and I don't

852
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 3: mean you and me. I just means the sports public

853
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 3: in general saw the power of college football in a

854
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 3: way that maybe some of these presidents and especially these

855
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 3: professors and some of those folks may not have. But

856
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 3: I think the Pac twelve just got caught sleeping and

857
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 3: they just were not forward thinking enough, and they may

858
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 3: be left in the.

859
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 2: Dust as a result, zero doubt. And you know, for

860
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 2: people don't know how this stuff works exactly. What Jason

861
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 2: just said is that ultimately a commissioner or an executive

862
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 2: or whomever can make suggestions, but it isn't the coaches

863
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,280
Speaker 2: that make decisions. It isn't the ads even that make decisions.

864
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 2: It's the school presidents. And so that's why sometimes you

865
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 2: see stuff that doesn't seem to make sense, or in

866
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 2: other cases, stuff that does make sense doesn't get done.

867
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 2: And I do think, Jason, I think that's exactly I

868
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 2: think where the PAC twelve is right now is a

869
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 2: combination of two things. Is I do think the commissioner,

870
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 2: and this is the new commissioner, not even the old commissioner,

871
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 2: Larry Scott, who is terrible. But I do think the

872
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 2: new commissioner has fumbled some stuff. I think he's acted

873
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 2: a little arrogant at times, and I remember talking even

874
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 2: about his comments at media Day last week where he

875
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 2: said something. He said a lot of stuff, and I

876
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 2: try not to be too critical because there's only so

877
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 2: much that you can say, but he also said stuff like, no,

878
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,359
Speaker 2: none of our schools are leaving, when there have been

879
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 2: reports for months that Colorado is very much flirting with

880
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 2: the Big twelve. And so I don't think he's been

881
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,399
Speaker 2: very good. But I do think some of it does

882
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 2: come down to the school presidents. You and I were

883
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 2: texting this week about the fact that, like the Big Twelve,

884
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 2: when Texas and Oklahoma left two years ago in twenty

885
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 2: twenty one, was on the brink in the same way

886
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,439
Speaker 2: that the PAC twelve is right now, and the PAC

887
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 2: twelve had a chance to strike. The PAC twelve had

888
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 2: a chance to grab whatever schools it would have been

889
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,320
Speaker 2: strengthen themselves, continue to weaken the Big the Big Twelve

890
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,399
Speaker 2: and the school presidents and I don't know if it's

891
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:15,720
Speaker 2: because of academic prestige, you know Stanford and you know Cal. Yeah,

892
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 2: and remember USC and UCLA were in the conference at

893
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 2: that time. You know, I don't know if it was

894
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 2: that they didn't want to be affiliated with some of

895
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 2: those schools down in the Big Twelve. And I won't

896
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 2: name names, but we know that they're not necessarily the

897
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 2: same act. I don't know what it was, but either way,

898
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 2: drag their feet too much on expansion, on realignment. I

899
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 2: think there was a lack of awareness from the commissioner

900
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 2: on what could potentially be going on with UCLA and

901
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 2: USC and so it is a complete cluster, Jason, and

902
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 2: I don't know what holds what the future holds for

903
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 2: this conference, because if there was a great TV deal,

904
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 2: it feels like it would have been out there by now.

905
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 2: Other schools are now actively flirting with the Big Twelve.

906
00:45:57,760 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 2: It's just a bad deal overall.

907
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it feels like I remember talking to

908
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 3: Jeff Schwartz, our good friend here at Fox Sports Radio.

909
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 2: Years, got him on tonight. He's unbelievable about this.

910
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 3: But like one of the things he talked about is

911
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 3: the PAC twelve universities and the people with money. A

912
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 3: lot of the people with money and the people with

913
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 3: degrees care about Olympic sports and they want a ton

914
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 3: of golds and you know they've been responsible for a

915
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 3: lot of Olympians. Well, this is what that gets you,

916
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 3: because you look at the quality of the universities and

917
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 3: research institutions and all of those kinds of things. I mean,

918
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 3: the Big Ten's got some great universities as well. Michigan's

919
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 3: an outstanding school. We already know what Northwestern is as

920
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 3: an academic institution. List goes on and on. Now not

921
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,760
Speaker 3: all of them are, but a lot of the schools

922
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,760
Speaker 3: in the Big ten are pretty high regarded. It felt

923
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 3: like it feels like you should have had, you know,

924
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 3: more clout than the Big twelve if you're the PAC

925
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 3: twelve in terms of if you had been thinking properly.

926
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 3: But since you talked about, you know, just the quality

927
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 3: of institutions, there is something to the kind of old

928
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 3: cliched talking point about being book smart but not street smart.

929
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 3: These are some really really smart people, I mean, incredibly

930
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 3: intelligent folks at these universities. I'm not sure they're street

931
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 3: smart though, because they didn't. It feels like they just

932
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 3: didn't see this, see this coming, and a lot of

933
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 3: us did. And it's kind of amazing to me that

934
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 3: they got caught this flat footed and blown by and

935
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 3: they got dunked on. And that's where we sit right now.

936
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 2: Well, and I think that's one hundred percent correct, and

937
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 2: I think it's it's still going on where it sounds

938
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 2: weird because Colorado has Listen, you don't need mean to

939
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 2: tell you they've been terrible forever, and certainly they've been

940
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 2: terrible since they got to the PAC twelve, but it

941
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 2: wasn't until Colorado. Like, first of all, again, everybody knew

942
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 2: Colorado has been talking to the PAC twelve to the

943
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 2: Big twelve. I'm pretty sure the school president even said

944
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 2: so publicly, like yeah, we've had conversations. But why I

945
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 2: bring it up is because it feels like that was

946
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 2: like Colorado actually leaving is now making everyone reevaluate. And

947
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 2: so just as an example, you know, you talk about

948
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:17,399
Speaker 2: kind of the institutional arrogance, just something that I've heard

949
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 2: over the last couple of months, and it's it's been reported.

950
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 2: It's not some you know, breaking news here, but like

951
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 2: even somebody like Oregon, which has had incredible success on

952
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,439
Speaker 2: the field, they've been holding out hope, holding out hope,

953
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 2: holding out hope, trying to figure out a way how

954
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 2: do we get to the Big ten? What does that do?

955
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 2: We don't want to go to the Big twelve again

956
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 2: because that's beneath us, and then Colorado leaving kind of

957
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 2: made them reevaluate, like should we be trying to get

958
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,919
Speaker 2: a little bit harder into the Big twelve because if

959
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 2: one or two or three other schools leave, like where

960
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 2: are we going to be left? And so that's just

961
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 2: one example when we say institutional arrogance. It's not just

962
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 2: you know, the folks in the Ivory Tower. It's at

963
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:57,360
Speaker 2: Stanford that you know that that look down upon anybody

964
00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 2: that wants to play a game with a bat and

965
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:02,399
Speaker 2: a ball like this is I think really across the board.

966
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 2: I mean Arizona State, which admittedly they've actually come up

967
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 2: a little bit as an academic school, and I just

968
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 2: bring that up to say, like they have said very public,

969
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 2: oh you know, we don't want to go to the

970
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 2: Big twelve. We're happy with where we are. It's just

971
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 2: it's just a weird deal. And now I don't I

972
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 2: don't know what the future is because on the one hand,

973
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 2: you know, really frankly, I think what the future of

974
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,800
Speaker 2: the Big twelve is ultimately, or what the future of

975
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 2: the PAC twelve is ultimately comes down to what does

976
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 2: the Big twelve want to do with with Colorado coming,

977
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 2: They're up to thirteen schools. I don't think they're gonna

978
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 2: I don't think I know they're not gonna stick at thirteen.

979
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 2: So do they go to fourteen? Do they add one more?

980
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 2: Do they go to sixteen? If they do, that feels

981
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 2: like we're it'd be pretty much the unofficial death of

982
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 2: the PAC twelve. You can't lose three more schools and

983
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 2: put a competitive conference out on the field. So it's

984
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 2: just a very weird, sad time. And I think the

985
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:58,879
Speaker 2: thing that stands out to me, Jason, more than anything

986
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 2: is exactly what you said this is this was all avoidable.

987
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 2: It's been in competence at the commissioner position, the president position,

988
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 2: and now this is a conference that's very much on

989
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 2: the bring.

990
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is the other thing, and we were

991
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 3: talking about this when Dion took that job at Colorado,

992
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 3: Man pac Twell's gonna be hot. It's gonna be super

993
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 3: exciting because you know you've got Dion coming in that's

994
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 3: gonna just energize the conference and all this kind of stuff.

995
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:31,800
Speaker 3: Now what, Because Oregon is still a draw, Washington is

996
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 3: still a bit of a draw in terms of just

997
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 3: me watching it from here. There are people that I

998
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 3: know that will watch Oregon in Washington. They're probably not

999
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 3: gonna watch Arizona State if they've got other options. Just

1000
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 3: as one example, but losing Dion right now, I don't

1001
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 3: know how long Dion's gonna be at Colorado. I have

1002
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 3: no idea. I don't know what his goals are. I

1003
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:51,280
Speaker 3: don't know if he's gonna be there for his life.

1004
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's gonna be there for a year.

1005
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 3: I have no clue. I do know that he is

1006
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 3: going to bring eyeballs. He's gonna bring attention, he's gonna

1007
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,839
Speaker 3: say stuff, His teams are gonna be flash. There's gonna

1008
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 3: be a lot going on. There's a lot of interest

1009
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 3: surrounding him and what he's going to build. And to

1010
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:12,720
Speaker 3: lose that before he ever coaches a game, you already

1011
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:17,720
Speaker 3: know they out, that is a horrible turn of events

1012
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 3: for the PAC twelve.

1013
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 2: Zero doubt, And yeah, I don't know what his future holds,

1014
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:24,879
Speaker 2: but like you said, there's going to be so much

1015
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 2: interest in what he does. I'll also say this, if

1016
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 2: they can somehow say together, and this goes back to

1017
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 2: what we talked about last week with the commissioner George

1018
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 2: Kliovkov at PAC twelve media day saying we want the

1019
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 2: focus to be on football. If they can somehow keep

1020
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 2: it together, it's still a pretty good football conference. You know,

1021
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:43,840
Speaker 2: Oregon Washington are both gonna be in the top twenty

1022
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 2: five to start the year, maybe in the top fifteen.

1023
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 2: Washington was one of the surprise teams last year. Utah

1024
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 2: is very good as well, coming off back to back

1025
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 2: PAC twelve titles. But it's just a question of can

1026
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 2: they keep this conference together because it is such chaos

1027
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 2: right now, and it's just you know, and like I said,

1028
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 2: I think that's the sad part is it's actually a

1029
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 2: pretty good football conference. It would have been better if

1030
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 2: you could have gotten more than one year out of

1031
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 2: Dion Sanders coach prime in Colorado. Unfortunately, though Colorado is gone.

1032
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 2: The question now becomes who is next and when that happens.

1048
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 2: to the Big twelve. Not the only big news in

1049
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 2: college football this week, though, as we mentioned earlier, to

1050
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 2: lead the show does feel like football's really ramping up.

1051
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 2: Just about everybody in the NFL has reported to training

1052
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 2: camp at this point. By the way, for people who

1053
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,919
Speaker 2: did not see the news, Jonathan Taylor from the Indianapolis

1054
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:25,720
Speaker 2: Colts did demand a trade earlier today, as de Seger

1055
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 2: told us, though Roberts say Jim Ersay not Robert Ors say.

1056
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 2: Jim Ersay came out today and said there's no chance

1057
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 2: that he is being traded. So we will see if

1058
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor gets some sort of new contract in light

1059
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 2: of all the craziness with the running back position over

1060
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 2: the last couple weeks. But as much fun as the

1061
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:46,440
Speaker 2: NFL news is, college football is also ramping up as well.

1062
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 2: And this week we had Big Ten media days, following

1063
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 2: of course SEC media days last week. Why that is important,

1064
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 2: why that is noteworthy? You know, big tens of a

1065
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 2: very interesting conference this year. Obviously, Michigan is now the

1066
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 2: two time defending champion. But there was some news out

1067
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:05,799
Speaker 2: of Michigan earlier in the week that was not very

1068
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 2: good and we will certainly ask Bernie Fretto about this

1069
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 2: when he joins us later. But Jim Harbaugh, there had

1070
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:15,720
Speaker 2: been an investigation into Michigan going on for some pretty

1071
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:19,760
Speaker 2: minor recruiting violations, essentially what we found out this week

1072
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,840
Speaker 2: was that Jim Harbaugh, in the process of being interviewed

1073
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 2: by the NCAA, appears to have maybe not told the

1074
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 2: truth all the way. And now Jason, it appears as though,

1075
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 2: again these are minor recruiting violations, buying players free meals,

1076
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,959
Speaker 2: things like that. But because Jim Harbaugh did get caught

1077
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:40,400
Speaker 2: line to the NCAAA, there were some other secondary violations

1078
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:46,400
Speaker 2: found and Michigan and the NCAA are negotiating a suspension

1079
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 2: for Jim Harbaugh. We think it will probably be four games.

1080
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 2: What do you make of the news this week, Jason, Is.

1081
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 3: It fair for me just to say I kind of

1082
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 3: didn't care. I mean, it just didn't I guess it

1083
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 3: was just okay, Well, there's not a surprise there, like

1084
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:08,799
Speaker 3: we're going to continue to get some of this, But

1085
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,319
Speaker 3: I guess in the landscape that we now have, I

1086
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 3: can't be bothered to just clutch pearls about any of this.

1087
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,799
Speaker 3: Whatever was going on is going on in a lot

1088
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 3: of different places. He's going to serve whatever the suspension

1089
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 3: is going to be, and he's going to come back

1090
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 3: and coach football, and Michigan fans aren't going to care

1091
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 3: as long as his team keeps winning football games, and honestly,

1092
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 3: most people in the country aren't unless they have an

1093
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:35,799
Speaker 3: act to grind against Jim Harbaugh and want to put

1094
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 3: up a sign when they go to Big House to

1095
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 3: you know, mock him or jeer at him or whatever

1096
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 3: like that. But generally, I just it's not that it

1097
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,799
Speaker 3: doesn't matter. It's just that in my own head, I

1098
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 3: just at this point, this is not Pete Bell and

1099
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 3: Blue Chips, you know, like this is at this point,

1100
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:59,360
Speaker 3: we've just kind of reached a scenario where to me,

1101
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 3: there's a law of diminishing returns in play on recruiting

1102
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:07,440
Speaker 3: violation stories. I think it's just been watered down to

1103
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:09,719
Speaker 3: the degree. And I think the only thing that makes

1104
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 3: this a little more interesting is who it is. The

1105
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 3: fact that and he's been outspoken about the SEC and

1106
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:20,319
Speaker 3: all of this then makes it easier to potentially go

1107
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 3: after him specifically just because he's a bit more of

1108
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 3: a public figure as opposed to somebody that's more boring

1109
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 3: or in the background. But it's just at this point

1110
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 3: it's just par for the course for me, if that

1111
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 3: makes sense. Yeah, I don't.

1112
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 2: Think it's a huge story, and I didn't see anybody

1113
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 2: that's like outraged that he paid for a dinner. I

1114
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 2: think there's a few things. One obviously, look, it's cliche,

1115
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,280
Speaker 2: but the cover up is always worse than the crime,

1116
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 2: and so him being suspended is not because he's some

1117
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 2: egregious cheater. But there is a precedent for guys who

1118
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 2: lie to the NCAAA. Frankly, usually in the past it

1119
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:00,720
Speaker 2: has worked out way worse for those guys, most notably

1120
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 2: Michigan's biggest rival, Ohio State. You know, Jim Tressel essentially

1121
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 2: was fired because he lied many years ago over tattoo

1122
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 2: gate free tattoos first players. Tressell claimed he didn't know,

1123
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 2: and of course he did and he ended up being

1124
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 2: let go. Also, not far from you, Jason Bruce Pearl

1125
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 2: lost his job at Tennessee for line to the NCAA

1126
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 2: over a barbecue. So I don't think anybody's upset over

1127
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:27,480
Speaker 2: the fact that a player got a free meal, you know,

1128
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 2: or a few players got a free meal, especially in

1129
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 2: the nil world. I think that's more what it's about.

1130
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 2: But to your point, the only reason, the only way

1131
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 2: this becomes a tangible story is if Michigan somehow loses

1132
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:42,440
Speaker 2: a game while Jim Harbaugh's gone, And if you look

1133
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 2: at the schedule, there is a very big reason why

1134
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 2: Michigan is pushing for a four game suspension. It is

1135
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 2: because they open it home against East Carolina, UNLV, Bowling, Green,

1136
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 2: and Rutgers are their first four games. If it goes

1137
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 2: beyond that, they play at Nebraska at Minnesota. Obviously, the

1138
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 2: second half of the schedule gets much tougher at Penn State,

1139
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 2: Ohio State among the marquee games, or I think I

1140
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 2: said at Ohio. The Ohio State game is in ann Arbor.

1141
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 2: But that's the only way this becomes a thing. Again,

1142
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh shouldn't allied. I don't think people care all

1143
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 2: that much. But as long as they don't lose and

1144
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 2: there's no reason to think that they will any of

1145
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:24,920
Speaker 2: those four games, I don't think this ends up becoming

1146
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 2: a thing.

1147
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. I mean, if you want to try

1148
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:29,800
Speaker 3: and make it a thing, and I'm sure there will

1149
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 3: be people that don't like Michigan or don't like Harball,

1150
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 3: they're gonna go with that cheater mantra and all that,

1151
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 3: but generally speaking, this is gonna be a blip on

1152
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 3: the radar. We're not gonna care about this, and we

1153
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 3: shouldn't care about this. And whenever you see a suspension

1154
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 3: early in a college football season, you can pretty much

1155
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 3: talk that one up. Do they know that they can

1156
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 3: get away with this and it's not gonna harm their season.

1157
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 3: If Michigan goes to loses a big game during that

1158
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 3: month somehow that they have no business losing, then it

1159
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:00,200
Speaker 3: becomes a bit of a talking point. But I don't

1160
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 3: think anybody thinks that's going to happen. And again, to

1161
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 3: your point, the games that matter are coming a lot later.

1162
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:10,040
Speaker 3: Michigan has higher aspirations and they should be fine with

1163
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 3: an interim guy or an assistant on the sidelines, with

1164
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 3: their talent getting through that first month of the season,

1165
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 3: if indeed they are without Jim Harball's services for those games.

1166
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 2: Don't disagree on any of that. And I do think again,

1167
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 2: Michigan will be just fine. And listen, I thought, by

1168
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 2: the way, last thought here we'll get to dissager is

1169
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 2: I thought Harball actually handled it well too. He just said, look,

1170
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 2: you know it happened, you know, we were moving on

1171
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 2: or whatever. And the last last last thought I will say,

1172
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 2: and we'll definitely get Bernie's perspective on this later. Bernie,

1173
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:43,440
Speaker 2: of course, spent so many years in Michigan. It's a

1174
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 2: veteran team that has dealt with a lot over the

1175
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 2: last couple of years. I mean, I remember being convinced

1176
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 2: if you remember, you know, listen the last two offseasons,

1177
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh has interviewed for NFL head coaching jobs, and

1178
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 2: at least last year, it didn't impact the team at all.

1179
00:59:58,280 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 2: I mean, I remember being the guy on the radio

1180
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 2: saying he went and interviewed with the Vikings on National

1181
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 2: Signing Day. How can anyone trust him? I yeah, they

1182
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 2: went thirteen to zero into the playoff and won the

1183
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 2: Big Ten. Obviously lost to TCU. I think they ended

1184
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 2: up just fine. So if any team is built to

1185
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 2: kind of just deal with a little bit of an

1186
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 2: off the field distraction, it's this team, a veteran team

1187
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 2: coming off back to back Big Ten titles. Fox Sports

1188
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 2: Radio Eratrris Jason Martin broadcasting live from the Tireck dot

1189
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 2: Com studios. We're gonna switch gears to baseball, where we

1190
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:29,640
Speaker 2: got a resolution to the biggest story in the sport.

1191
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 2: That's next. First though, News Desk to Seger take it

1192
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 2: away to.

1193
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 8: The ninth inning at Dodger Stadium. LA has just two

1194
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:39,440
Speaker 8: hits tonight, and they're winning three to two over the

1195
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 8: Reds because the two hits are each home runs from

1196
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 8: Max Munsey, a two run shot in the first and

1197
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 8: then after the Reds tied the game. Top of the

1198
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 8: six months, he hit a solo homer to write in

1199
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 8: the bottom of the sixth inning. He has finally red

1200
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 8: hot the last couple of weeks. His batting average up

1201
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 8: to one ninety nine. He's betting three hundred in the

1202
01:00:57,600 --> 01:00:59,439
Speaker 8: last couple of weeks. The Mets have hit a couple

1203
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 8: of ninth inning home runs. They may be going down

1204
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 8: to defeat again. Nationals lead eleven to six now at

1205
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 8: the Mets in the bottom of the ninth inning. The

1206
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 8: big news that yes, he did wave his no trade

1207
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 8: clause tonight. Pitcher Max Scherzer is being dealt from the

1208
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 8: Mets to the Texas Rangers, the first place team in

1209
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 8: the Al West. The Mets also give Texas money to

1210
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 8: help pay him for the next year and a half.

1211
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 8: The Mets get double a shortstop Luis anheil Acunya, Yes,

1212
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 8: brother of the Brave Star Atlanta was a winner again,

1213
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 8: eleven to five over Milwaukee. Ronald Acunya with his twenty

1214
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 8: fourth home run and his fiftieth stolen base of the season.

1215
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 8: San Francisco hit a bottom of the ninth solo home

1216
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 8: run to beat Boston three to two, ending the Red

1217
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 8: Sox five game winning streak. Houston hit five home runs

1218
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 8: in a win over Tampa Bay seventeen to four. And

1219
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:51,200
Speaker 8: how about the Yankees. They got home runs from Gencarlo

1220
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 8: Stanton and Aaron Judge tonight to win at Baltimore eight three.

1221
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 8: In fact, win those two homer in the same game.

1222
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 8: The Yankees record is thirty and three. Oakland and Arizona

01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:36,760

Speaker 2: Seger said, Zeke Elliott visiting with the Patriots, Jonathan Taylor

1258
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:52,760
Speaker 2: wants an extension, wants a trade. Is it gonna get

1259
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:54,680
Speaker 2: the trade at least? So we'll get to all of

1260
01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 2: that here in just a couple of minutes. But Jason,

1261
01:03:57,440 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 2: you know, there is a topic that we've talked about

1262
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 2: pretty much every week for about the last three or

1263
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:03,919
Speaker 2: four weeks, and that is the future of show Heyo

1264
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 2: Tani specifically with the Los Angeles Angels, And the big question,

1265
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:11,720
Speaker 2: the big conversation that we've had not only on this show,

1266
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 2: but every show on these airwaves over the last two

1267
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 2: three weeks, was what are the Los Angeles Angels going

1268
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 2: to do with this guy? This is a guy who

1269
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:22,560
Speaker 2: you don't need us to tell you is beyond a

1270
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:25,440
Speaker 2: generational talent. I mean, he's a once in a history

1271
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 2: of the sport, kind of player, both as a hitter

1272
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 2: and a pitcher, doing it at an elite level. We

1273
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 2: all saw what he did the other day in Detroit

1274
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 2: when he had, you know, the complete game win as

1275
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 2: a pitcher and then hit two home runs in the

1276
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:40,280
Speaker 2: next game after. And so I just bring it up

1277
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 2: because there has been so much speculation on what his

1278
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 2: future is and would be with the Los Angeles Angels.

1279
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:47,200
Speaker 3: This week we.

1280
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 2: Find out arty Moreno, the owner will not be trading him.

1281
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 2: I forget if you released a statement or if it

1282
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 2: just came out as a report, but either way, sho

1283
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 2: hey o. Tani will stay with the Angels. They'll obviously

1284
01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 2: try to make a playoff push with him, and then

1285
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 2: of course he'll be a free agent after the seasons.

1286
01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:04,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think we, I mean, we started to

1287
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:08,040
Speaker 3: waver a little just in terms of weakening, just because

1288
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:11,240
Speaker 3: a lot of people were coming out and saying, oh,

1289
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:12,960
Speaker 3: they've got to move him, They've got to move him.

1290
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 3: But I think we both thought he wasn't going anywhere.

1291
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:17,840
Speaker 3: Like I still didn't think he was going anywhere, because

1292
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:22,240
Speaker 3: I just didn't see the sense of giving up on it.

1293
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:24,160
Speaker 3: If you thought there was a chance you could keep him,

1294
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 3: and because you're going to sell some tickets to see

1295
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:29,480
Speaker 3: him for the rest of this year, and all of

1296
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 3: those things, and because he's different, and because money isn't

1297
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,840
Speaker 3: the dominating factor. We've heard that from a couple of

1298
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 3: different people. Bernio joined us in the fourth hour, and

1299
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 3: I know he believes that as well. They do have

1300
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 3: a shot to keep him. If you've got a shot

1301
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:46,120
Speaker 3: to keep him, especially if it's a fair to decent

1302
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 3: shot to keep him there. He likes that area. He

1303
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:51,160
Speaker 3: doesn't have the same pressure he would if he's wearing

1304
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 3: pin stripes in the Bronx, for example, or something like that.

1305
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:59,520
Speaker 3: He could kind of own that entire franchise, really and

1306
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:02,520
Speaker 3: just be there and be there guy and have a

1307
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 3: great life. And if that's like, if that's something that

1308
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:08,960
Speaker 3: already Moreno really does believe in, then why in the

1309
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:11,080
Speaker 3: world would you feel like you had to move him.

1310
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:13,920
Speaker 3: This may not be a Kevin Durant situation. It might

1311
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:17,680
Speaker 3: not be a Carmelo Anthony situation. Maybe he's happy there,

1312
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:20,440
Speaker 3: Maybe Moreno knows it. Maybe Moreno's gonna get left at

1313
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 3: the altar. I have no idea. We'll find out, but

1314
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 3: I kind of like the risk really, because I just

1315
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:27,240
Speaker 3: don't think you were gonna get that much of a

1316
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 3: great return on your investment.

1317
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:31,240
Speaker 2: So I agree one thousand percent. And again you and

1318
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 2: I may have wavered a little bit on these airwaves

1319
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 2: just because of what the insiders who cover this sport

1320
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 2: on a day and day out basis have had to

1321
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:40,000
Speaker 2: say about it. But I'm with you, I never really

1322
01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 2: understood it. And the bottom line is it's a two

1323
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:46,520
Speaker 2: way street. Is one the value that he brings, well,

1324
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 2: it's really three things. Won the value that he brings

1325
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:49,960
Speaker 2: just by being on your team.

1326
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 3: Two.

1327
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:52,880
Speaker 2: And I don't think this was talked about enough. I

1328
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:56,200
Speaker 2: just don't know the package that you could reause when

1329
01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:58,240
Speaker 2: I say it wasn't talked about enough, we talked about it,

1330
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 2: but for all the people that said you gotta trade Otani,

1331
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:04,200
Speaker 2: it's like who is giving up their entire farm system

1332
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:07,160
Speaker 2: to get him, not knowing that he can sign long term.

1333
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:10,600
Speaker 2: And then, I think, most importantly, which goes understated, not

1334
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 2: by you because you just said it, but I you

1335
01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:16,919
Speaker 2: have to put yourself in a position to potentially keep

1336
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 2: this guy going forward, and if you trade him, it

1337
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 2: makes it that much harder. Not only because of the obvious,

1338
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:25,600
Speaker 2: but I also think because hey, how committed are they

1339
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:27,560
Speaker 2: to winning? Da da da da? Do they really want me?

1340
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:31,080
Speaker 2: Blah blah, whatever the reason is, I just never like,

1341
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 2: I'll be honest. I'll just give you a quick side story.

1342
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 2: But i'd a buddy text me about three four days ago,

1343
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:38,439
Speaker 2: maybe maybe not three or four, maybe it was about

1344
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:40,720
Speaker 2: a week ago now, because he said to me, he said, Aaron,

1345
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:43,200
Speaker 2: what is the explanation for trading show? Hey Otani? And

1346
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 2: I said, I think it's a weak one. And it

1347
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:47,400
Speaker 2: was basically all the stuff that we just said. I said,

1348
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 2: and he said, I just don't understand why you would

1349
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 2: do it. And so I'm with you. I'm with you

1350
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 2: from the perspective that you keep him one, you hope

1351
01:07:57,040 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 2: to keep him beyond this year. You weren't gonna get

1352
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:01,720
Speaker 2: a packets that was worth trading for him anyway. And

1353
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:04,360
Speaker 2: let me let me lastly say this, I do think

1354
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:07,560
Speaker 2: there is like I think the idea that well, if

1355
01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 2: you get nothing for him, uh, I mean, you can't

1356
01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:14,320
Speaker 2: not get anything for him. It's like, why you're not

1357
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:17,160
Speaker 2: winning with him? You're gonna trade for a bunch of

1358
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 2: guys that are two three four years away. So what's

1359
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:23,440
Speaker 2: the value in getting three or four prospects that nobody's

1360
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:25,800
Speaker 2: ever heard of that might be good down the road

1361
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:28,599
Speaker 2: when you have the most enticing, fun to watch player

1362
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 2: in baseball right now. I've never understood the argument that

1363
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:34,000
Speaker 2: you had to trade him. And listen, we could criticize

1364
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:36,839
Speaker 2: Artie Moreno for not building a contender over the last

1365
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:39,639
Speaker 2: decade with Mike Trout and show Hey Otani on his roster,

1366
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 2: but I thought this was the right move.

1367
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 3: To Yeah, I mean, I think that again. If he

1368
01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 3: just offers him, if he offers him the farm and

1369
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 3: Otani still ends up leaving, then it is what it is.

1370
01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:53,360
Speaker 3: But we don't know that that's gonna happen, and we

1371
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:56,680
Speaker 3: don't know what's inside of show Hey Otani when it

1372
01:08:56,720 --> 01:08:59,840
Speaker 3: comes to how happy he is, how content he is

1373
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 3: in that circumstance, if he wants to be a part

1374
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:06,080
Speaker 3: of what they are building there, if you know, we

1375
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:09,400
Speaker 3: just don't know for sure. And if it turns out

1376
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:12,680
Speaker 3: that he's still an angel a couple of years from now,

1377
01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:15,240
Speaker 3: Maria is gonna look like a genius. There's not going

1378
01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:17,800
Speaker 3: to be the thirty for thirty about trading away the

1379
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 3: greatest player of one hundred years or whatever it's going

1380
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:24,759
Speaker 3: to be, it's going to be Moreno went against the grain,

1381
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:27,680
Speaker 3: and seemingly, when against the grain of most of the

1382
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:31,320
Speaker 3: people that cover the sport at an expert level, kept

1383
01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:34,280
Speaker 3: the guy bet on himself and won. I think it's

1384
01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:37,320
Speaker 3: worth the risk. Like, you could end up the butt

1385
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:39,200
Speaker 3: of the joke, but you could also end up the

1386
01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:39,920
Speaker 3: bell of the ball.

1387
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:43,599
Speaker 2: I know there's no way to know this, but based

1388
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 2: on what you said, based on what we've discussed in

1389
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:49,760
Speaker 2: previous you know, previous weeks, what do you think the

1390
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:53,320
Speaker 2: percentage is that he stays in Anaheim and with the Angels,

1391
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:58,759
Speaker 2: because I just there's going to be bigger monetary offers.

1392
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:01,760
Speaker 2: But if you read anything about Otani, and I don't

1393
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:04,600
Speaker 2: claim to be any sort of baseball insider, but this

1394
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 2: is a guy that he doesn't love the spotlight. Like

1395
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 2: he you know, he speaks English, but he still uses

1396
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:11,680
Speaker 2: an interpreter because he wants to make sure that his

1397
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:13,800
Speaker 2: words come out right and his statements come out right.

1398
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 2: He's got the training regimen that this that and I

1399
01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 2: think like it's easy to just be like, well, the

1400
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:23,360
Speaker 2: Yankees are gonna offer this the the Giants are gonna

1401
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:26,000
Speaker 2: offer that the Dodgers are gonna offer this right, and

1402
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:29,840
Speaker 2: they will and and and you know, I don't think

1403
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:32,400
Speaker 2: or I don't know enough about the economics of baseball,

1404
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 2: but my guess would be that the Angels probably will

1405
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:38,720
Speaker 2: not have the biggest offer on the table. But I

1406
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:40,680
Speaker 2: don't know, Like I guess it's I guess it's just

1407
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:42,920
Speaker 2: hard to answer because we don't know what motivates him.

1408
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:45,760
Speaker 2: I don't think it's money, but the winning obviously will.

1409
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:48,040
Speaker 2: And he said around the All Star Game, losing sucks.

1410
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:50,439
Speaker 2: And you know it's been tough on me et cetera,

1411
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:53,120
Speaker 2: especially of course coming off that win in the WBC

1412
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:56,240
Speaker 2: where he was so incredible. So I know it's impossible

1413
01:10:56,280 --> 01:11:00,680
Speaker 2: to know. I think the percentages is re that he

1414
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:03,639
Speaker 2: ends up staying in Anaheim. And again, to your point, Jason,

1415
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:06,360
Speaker 2: it makes it that much more imperative that you end

1416
01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:08,000
Speaker 2: up keeping him for that exact reason.

1417
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:11,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think we asked Bernie last.

1418
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:13,439
Speaker 2: Week, did he say fifty to fifty. We'll ask him

1419
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:16,280
Speaker 2: again because now at least now we know that that

1420
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:18,839
Speaker 2: he's staying in Anaheim. So I think if the percentage

1421
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:20,280
Speaker 2: was fifty to fifty, it's got to be the same

1422
01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:23,000
Speaker 2: or even more so, uh, based on this week's news.

1423
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:25,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and look, if it's fifty to fifty, you've got

1424
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:27,680
Speaker 3: to keep him. If it's forty sixty, you've got to

1425
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:30,760
Speaker 3: keep him. I even joked, I said, if it's one

1426
01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:33,800
Speaker 3: to ninety nine, that one percent might be enough. I

1427
01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 3: mean that that's a little bit overstated, but it was

1428
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:39,599
Speaker 3: intentionally done. But if it's fifty to fifty, I'm taking

1429
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 3: that chance. I mean, you have to what are the

1430
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:46,559
Speaker 3: Angels gonna do without him? I understand what you were

1431
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:49,519
Speaker 3: saying too that, yeah, they aren't winning with him, but yeah,

1432
01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:52,719
Speaker 3: so they're gonna set themselves back another half decade waiting

1433
01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:54,640
Speaker 3: to see if any of these prospects or whoever they

1434
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:58,320
Speaker 3: were gonna get in this deal actually turn into something

1435
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:01,439
Speaker 3: or when you know you've got the guy, and I

1436
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:05,559
Speaker 3: do mean the guy. You have that dude. I like

1437
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:08,439
Speaker 3: my chances of building around him in his prime and

1438
01:12:08,520 --> 01:12:12,160
Speaker 3: doing anything I can to try and make him believe, Hey,

1439
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:14,680
Speaker 3: you're the guy, and we're gonna do all we can

1440
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:15,000
Speaker 3: for you.

1441
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:17,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, last thought, And it's not as though, listen, you

1442
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:21,160
Speaker 2: know the other thing too, is it wouldn't be a

1443
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:24,400
Speaker 2: complete teardown because you have Mike Trout on a long

1444
01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:26,240
Speaker 2: term contract and I know he's been banged up the

1445
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 2: last couple of years and right now he's not playing.

1446
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:32,040
Speaker 2: But they were in playoff contention when Mike Trout was healthy,

1447
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:35,640
Speaker 2: and so it's not as though, like, Okay, you know,

1448
01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:39,320
Speaker 2: Mike Trout announced his retirement at the end of this year,

1449
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:42,639
Speaker 2: and you know it's gonna be Otani and a bunch

1450
01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:46,000
Speaker 2: of rookies. Anyway, that's a completely different scenario. So again,

1451
01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:48,439
Speaker 2: you know, I I think we're kind of spinning our

1452
01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 2: wheels here saying the same thing. But I'm just so

1453
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:52,719
Speaker 2: in agreement with you, Jason, of like, I never got

1454
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:54,559
Speaker 2: why it made sense for them to trade. And by

1455
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 2: the way, if some incredible offer that you couldn't turn

1456
01:12:57,400 --> 01:13:00,519
Speaker 2: down did come and you were twenty out of a

1457
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:04,200
Speaker 2: wildcard spot, that's fine. But again you're you're sort of

1458
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:07,880
Speaker 2: within striking distance. There's more playoff spots than ever, and

1459
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:11,519
Speaker 2: you have another superstar in the back end of his prime.

1460
01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:13,719
Speaker 2: I think this is the right move for the Angels.

1461
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:15,920
Speaker 2: And now the fun part we get, by the way,

1462
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:18,400
Speaker 2: as fun as it was to cover this trade, We'll

1463
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:20,400
Speaker 2: get probably two or three weeks in December where we

1464
01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:22,639
Speaker 2: get to talk about the free agent sweepstakes as well.

1477
01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:07,360
Speaker 2: ago about show, Hey, Otani not getting traded this week

1478
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:09,920
Speaker 2: and he will not be traded at the deadline. We

1479
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:13,160
Speaker 2: did get a little interesting piece of news this evening though,

1480
01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:16,320
Speaker 2: as Desager told us a few minutes ago, Max Scherzer

1481
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:19,040
Speaker 2: is on his way to be a member of the

1482
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:22,559
Speaker 2: Texas Rangers. Of course, Max Scherzer had a no trade

1483
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:25,400
Speaker 2: clause in his deal with the Mets, so he had

1484
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 2: to approve of this decision. But Max Scherzer is going

1485
01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:32,800
Speaker 2: to the Texas Rangers. They are in first place right

1486
01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:35,519
Speaker 2: now in the Al West. I know he's had a

1487
01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:37,479
Speaker 2: little bit of a rough go of it with the

1488
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:39,760
Speaker 2: New York Mets, and I know the Mets are a

1489
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:41,880
Speaker 2: little bit of a disappointed at a little bit. They

1490
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:45,560
Speaker 2: are a major disappointment in Major League Baseball right now.

1491
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:48,120
Speaker 2: But Jason, what do you make of this move as

1492
01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:51,320
Speaker 2: the Rangers shore up their starting rotation heading down the

1493
01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:51,719
Speaker 2: home stretch.

1494
01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:54,200
Speaker 3: I mean, good move for Texas. I mean they've been

1495
01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:58,719
Speaker 3: surprisingly pretty solid throughout the year. They've got a solid lineup.

1496
01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:02,639
Speaker 3: This is gonna butchers that to change the scenery for Sureser, who, Yeah,

1497
01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:05,120
Speaker 3: you're right, didn't start out there year very well and

1498
01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:07,880
Speaker 3: it just hasn't gone very well. But I'll tell you

1499
01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:10,400
Speaker 3: it's kind of amazing that the hope in New York

1500
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:14,880
Speaker 3: right now rests with the Jets not the Mets. Like

1501
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:17,519
Speaker 3: you would never have seen that considering the money that

1502
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:21,760
Speaker 3: Cohen spent and just kind of the feeling surrounding the

1503
01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:25,599
Speaker 3: Mets organization prior to the World Baseball Classic, and then

1504
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:30,519
Speaker 3: pretty much from Diaz going down in the WBC to

1505
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:35,559
Speaker 3: just everybody just not getting it done. A high price

1506
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:37,880
Speaker 3: payroll that just didn't pay off. I remember I asked

1507
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:40,800
Speaker 3: a question to Morossi a couple of weeks ago who

1508
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:44,040
Speaker 3: was more disappointing the padres of the Mets, And the

1509
01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:49,720
Speaker 3: answer is, yes, they're both. It's amazing, and you're just

1510
01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:53,000
Speaker 3: seeing them cutting bait like they're just I mean, sures

1511
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:55,719
Speaker 3: are still got a couple of years left you would

1512
01:15:55,720 --> 01:15:59,240
Speaker 3: think of dominant pitching, and they're just moving on and

1513
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:02,200
Speaker 3: they're out. This is a dead season for them. It's

1514
01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:05,840
Speaker 3: a complete waste and we'll see what they do next year.

1515
01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:09,040
Speaker 3: But Mets fans have got to feel like they are

1516
01:16:09,120 --> 01:16:12,320
Speaker 3: cursed because this thing looked like it was going to

1517
01:16:12,320 --> 01:16:14,240
Speaker 3: be the exact opposite of what's turned out to.

1518
01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:17,479
Speaker 2: Be thousand percent. And you know, we have a couple

1519
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:20,599
Speaker 2: of Mets fans here at this you know at Fox Sports,

1520
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:24,400
Speaker 2: obviously Jason Smith most notably, but growing up in the

1521
01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:26,559
Speaker 2: New York Tri state area in Connecticut. I mean, Mets

1522
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:29,000
Speaker 2: fans do think they're cursed. And I could also say

1523
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:31,880
Speaker 2: some of my best friends are Mets fans, and this

1524
01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:33,760
Speaker 2: did feel like the year. This felt like the year

1525
01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:36,479
Speaker 2: where you know you have the owner who's committed. You're

1526
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:40,360
Speaker 2: coming off last season where you know things obviously didn't

1527
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:44,280
Speaker 2: end as planned a year ago, but there's so much momentum.

1528
01:16:44,360 --> 01:16:46,439
Speaker 2: You know, you hear how much you know the impact

1529
01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:51,439
Speaker 2: that Bucks show Walter is having again just an incredible season,

1530
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:54,680
Speaker 2: one hundred and one wins last year, if if my

1531
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:58,800
Speaker 2: research here is correct, and so it's just unbelievable how

1532
01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 2: quickly it's fallen apart. And I think it speaks to listen.

1533
01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:04,599
Speaker 2: You know, this is a an adage in baseball as

1534
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:07,760
Speaker 2: old as time. But one, you know, the money spent

1535
01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:11,200
Speaker 2: doesn't equate to anything. And two, like any sport, you know,

1536
01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:15,360
Speaker 2: it is an older roster obviously with Surezer, with Verlander,

1537
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:18,400
Speaker 2: you know, you go across. You know some of the

1538
01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 2: other guys are a little bit older as well. So

1539
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:23,080
Speaker 2: but it is just amazing though. I mean, this was

1540
01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:26,400
Speaker 2: a I'll say this is like from a a guy

1541
01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:31,080
Speaker 2: that isn't a huge baseball guy perspective. I was excited

1542
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:32,679
Speaker 2: to kind of see this team and I was excited

1543
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 2: for something different, something interesting, something hopefully unique in a

1544
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:39,760
Speaker 2: major market that you know, this was going to be

1545
01:17:39,840 --> 01:17:42,559
Speaker 2: a thing this year and it just hasn't turned out

1546
01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:45,120
Speaker 2: that way. And now you know, obviously the Mets are

1547
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:47,640
Speaker 2: they're sellers at the deadline, Obviously they're gonna have to

1548
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:51,160
Speaker 2: retool in the offseason. But it is unbelievable how quickly

1549
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:51,880
Speaker 2: this all fell apart.

1550
01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:54,320
Speaker 3: Jason, Yeah, And sometimes it's just the way it goes.

1551
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:56,760
Speaker 3: You just it looked like it was gonna be one

1552
01:17:56,800 --> 01:17:58,920
Speaker 3: thing and it turned out to be the exact opposite.

1553
01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:03,519
Speaker 3: And that's again why sports exist, and it's why we care.

1554
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 3: If it was all so easy to figure out, none

1555
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:09,479
Speaker 3: of us would watch. It's one of the laments that

1556
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:11,640
Speaker 3: you've gotten about college football through the years is it

1557
01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:14,120
Speaker 3: was too easy to determine who actually had a shot

1558
01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:16,759
Speaker 3: before the season started. And now you've seen a little

1559
01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:19,040
Speaker 3: bit of change over with a TCU getting in or

1560
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:22,080
Speaker 3: Cincinnati getting in, but you still have a similar problem

1561
01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:24,360
Speaker 3: when you look at Georgia being there, in an Alabama

1562
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:26,639
Speaker 3: being there, in an Ohio State being there, and things

1563
01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:31,599
Speaker 3: like that. This one baseball, because the season is so long,

1564
01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:34,679
Speaker 3: there are gonna be lulls for everybody. There are gonna

1565
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:37,599
Speaker 3: be high points for most teams, but you're also gonna

1566
01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:40,439
Speaker 3: get to a scenario where we're not even to August

1567
01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:42,880
Speaker 3: and the Mets are just done and they're just there.

1568
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:45,760
Speaker 3: They are cutting bait with talented guys that they paid

1569
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:49,120
Speaker 3: a lot of money for and big names because they're

1570
01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:52,840
Speaker 3: going absolutely nowhere. And it's amazing because that also means

1571
01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 3: you're not gonna have them in the future either, So

1572
01:18:56,120 --> 01:18:57,880
Speaker 3: they're moving on. I don't know what it means for

1573
01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:00,760
Speaker 3: the Mets, but as a Braves fan, you love to

1574
01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:01,120
Speaker 3: see it.

1575
01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:04,680
Speaker 2: Real quick, You got any You got the scoop on

1576
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:07,280
Speaker 2: on little Acunya that's going back to the Mets in

1577
01:19:07,320 --> 01:19:07,919
Speaker 2: this trade?

1578
01:19:08,560 --> 01:19:11,759
Speaker 3: No not, I do not. I have all the scoop

1579
01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:13,519
Speaker 3: on Big Acunya, but not Little Lacunya.

1580
01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. For people who did not see, Ronald Acunya's younger

1581
01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:19,000
Speaker 2: brother is headed back to the Mets as part of

1582
01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:21,640
Speaker 2: this trade. Has a very good resume coming out of

1583
01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:24,599
Speaker 2: the minor leagues. Uh, but you know we'll find out

1584
01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:26,759
Speaker 2: on that one. But again, the Mets have traded Max Scherzer.

1585
01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:30,719
Speaker 2: Rangers have a one game lead in the Al West

1586
01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:33,759
Speaker 2: over the Houston Astro So adding a veteran arms certainly

1587
01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:36,479
Speaker 2: cannot hurt. And then, as Jason has said many times,

1588
01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:39,000
Speaker 2: as I've said many times in this segment, the Mets

1589
01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:42,320
Speaker 2: very much tearing this thing down and building it back up.

1590
01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:45,160
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio erin Torris Jason Martin broadcasting live from

01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:22,800
Speaker 2: week in a row, we get some live World Cup

1601

Speaker 2: overseas will be taking place in about a half an

1603
01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:35,760
Speaker 2: hour from now, Morocco and South Korea. So Jason, we

1604
01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:40,559
Speaker 2: opened the show talking NFL and talking the news out

1605
01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:44,400
Speaker 2: of Indianapolis for people who missed it. Jonathan Taylor, who

1606
01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:47,240
Speaker 2: of course led the NFL and rushing two seasons ago,

1607
01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:50,439
Speaker 2: was a little bit banged up last year. Did demand

1608
01:20:50,439 --> 01:20:54,280
Speaker 2: a trade and basically Jim Irsay, the owner of the

1609
01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:57,040
Speaker 2: Indianapolis Colts, later came out and said we are not

1610
01:20:57,200 --> 01:21:00,320
Speaker 2: trading him. Just curious how you think. I want to

1611
01:21:00,320 --> 01:21:03,000
Speaker 2: talk about some other news. Zeke had a visit today,

1612
01:21:03,400 --> 01:21:05,439
Speaker 2: But how do you think this gets resolved? Do you

1613
01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:08,040
Speaker 2: think Jonathan Taylor gets a contract that he's satisfied with?

1614
01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:10,280
Speaker 2: Does he get the long term deal that even Saquon

1615
01:21:10,320 --> 01:21:13,160
Speaker 2: Barkley couldn't get this week? Where do you think this goes?

1616
01:21:13,240 --> 01:21:15,800
Speaker 2: Because you know, on the one hand, it's not a

1617
01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:18,880
Speaker 2: running backs world right now, but if you're the Indianapolis Colts,

1618
01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:21,760
Speaker 2: you do have a rookie quarterback on a rookie contract,

1619
01:21:22,120 --> 01:21:24,719
Speaker 2: so financially it helps you a little bit. But also

1620
01:21:25,280 --> 01:21:27,640
Speaker 2: I do kind of think you need Jonathan Taylor to

1621
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:29,920
Speaker 2: take some of that pressure off Anthony Richardson this year.

1622
01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:32,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think this probably in the same

1623
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:35,599
Speaker 3: way it did with Saquon. I don't know the level

1624
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:39,160
Speaker 3: of disgruntled that Jonathan Taylor is. I don't know what

1625
01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:43,080
Speaker 3: leverage play he is making here. And I also don't

1626
01:21:43,080 --> 01:21:47,599
Speaker 3: know what his representation knows about the market for their client.

1627
01:21:48,160 --> 01:21:50,400
Speaker 3: Like I understand what the market is for running backs

1628
01:21:50,479 --> 01:21:53,479
Speaker 3: right now, it's pretty far down the line. But in

1629
01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:56,759
Speaker 3: terms of Jonathan Taylor, do they know something we don't?

1630
01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:59,200
Speaker 3: Is their interest out there that's going to get him

1631
01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:03,439
Speaker 3: something exorbitant? And you hear what Ersay is saying, but

1632
01:22:03,479 --> 01:22:05,120
Speaker 3: I mean, ORSA is not gonna say yeah, we're definitely

1633
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:08,439
Speaker 3: gonna move you out loud because that destroys his own leverage.

1634
01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:11,960
Speaker 3: If he's taking phone calls, and he probably is, because

1635
01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:15,599
Speaker 3: most owners are gonna take most phone calls. Then you know,

1636
01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:18,320
Speaker 3: you never know what offer is out there. But I

1637
01:22:18,479 --> 01:22:22,680
Speaker 3: tend to think this ends with maybe another one of

1638
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 3: those short term maybe even another one year deal eight

1639
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:31,599
Speaker 3: figures decent and sets the stage for something to come

1640
01:22:32,160 --> 01:22:34,880
Speaker 3: after this year, whether it's with the Colts or somebody else.

1641
01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:36,360
Speaker 3: If I had to bet on it now, that's what

1642
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:38,200
Speaker 3: I would say. I don't think he's going anywhere. I

1643
01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:41,800
Speaker 3: just that's just kind of my gut on it is.

1644
01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:45,800
Speaker 3: They'll work this out similar to Sa Kuan, and it'll

1645
01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:48,080
Speaker 3: be kind of the same deal where it's just like, yeah,

1646
01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:51,519
Speaker 3: you know, thought it through, This makes sense. To me

1647
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:53,880
Speaker 3: in the short term, and that's probably how it will

1648
01:22:53,920 --> 01:22:55,120
Speaker 3: get taken care of.

1649
01:22:55,800 --> 01:23:00,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, And as far as Jonathan Taylor is, as far

1650
01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:02,640
Speaker 2: as his contract is set up, it's worth noting, as

1651
01:23:02,680 --> 01:23:05,800
Speaker 2: the SEGA set earlier, still on his rookie deal and

1652
01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:08,519
Speaker 2: in theory of course that the team could franchise tag

1653
01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:10,519
Speaker 2: him next year if if they can't come to a

1654
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:12,840
Speaker 2: long term resolution, do you want to switch gears to

1655
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:16,400
Speaker 2: another prominent running back Jason and that is our old

1656
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:18,840
Speaker 2: buddy Ezekiel Elliott. And and I was thinking about him

1657
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:22,400
Speaker 2: the other day relative to the Dalvin Cook conversation. Obviously,

1658
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:24,880
Speaker 2: we know Dalvin Cook visited with the Jets earlier this week,

1659
01:23:25,160 --> 01:23:27,920
Speaker 2: and I was just thinking, like, what's going on with Zeke, Like,

1660
01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:31,360
Speaker 2: you know, I know he's been training and obviously all

1661
01:23:31,360 --> 01:23:33,280
Speaker 2: these guys do in the offseason, but it's just been

1662
01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:36,240
Speaker 2: so quiet for a guy that has just been so

1663
01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:40,360
Speaker 2: like prominent in our lives, you know, really dating back

1664
01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 2: to the Ohio State days. But I mean even with

1665
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:45,400
Speaker 2: the Cowboys, you know, he's a superstar. He's dynamic. You know,

1666
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:49,600
Speaker 2: we know how important he was to that organization to

1667
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:52,960
Speaker 2: take some pressure off of Dak. I mean I can't

1668
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:55,720
Speaker 2: remember how many conversations we had about the importance of

1669
01:23:55,720 --> 01:23:59,479
Speaker 2: Ezekiel Elliott, even the Dak Prescott contract negotiations, where we

1670
01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:02,600
Speaker 2: basically Dak's not the same quarterback when Zeke isn't on

1671
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:05,479
Speaker 2: the field. And so obviously, you know he was let

1672
01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:07,960
Speaker 2: go by the Cowboys a few weeks ago, and we're

1673
01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 2: starting to finally get a picture a little bit of

1674
01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:14,040
Speaker 2: Zeke and what his future could look like because earlier

1675
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:17,439
Speaker 2: today he did visit with the New England Patriots, and

1676
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:20,880
Speaker 2: so obviously it doesn't mean that anything signed. It doesn't

1677
01:24:20,920 --> 01:24:23,519
Speaker 2: mean that you know, he's gonna be a Patriot come

1678
01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:27,599
Speaker 2: Week one, but obviously another team that has a young

1679
01:24:27,760 --> 01:24:30,759
Speaker 2: ish quarterback. Now Mac Jones is entering year three, unlike

1680
01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:33,960
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson as a rookie in Indianapolis, but a young

1681
01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:37,639
Speaker 2: ish quarterback. We know there's not a ton of weapons

1682
01:24:37,720 --> 01:24:40,160
Speaker 2: around him, and the run game is going to be

1683
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:42,559
Speaker 2: an important part of what the New England Patriots do

1684
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:45,080
Speaker 2: to take some pressure off of Mac Jones, who we

1685
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:48,400
Speaker 2: know is kind of physically limited. So Ezekiel Elliott may

1686
01:24:48,439 --> 01:24:50,800
Speaker 2: be part of it, he may not be, but an

1687
01:24:50,800 --> 01:24:54,320
Speaker 2: interesting move by the Patriots bringing him in today as

1688
01:24:54,360 --> 01:24:55,200
Speaker 2: a free agencies.

1689
01:24:55,600 --> 01:24:58,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, and again, I just I think we were about

1690
01:24:58,560 --> 01:25:00,759
Speaker 3: to see and we said this last year for the season,

1691
01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:03,880
Speaker 3: and for the most part, it proved out. I just

1692
01:25:04,040 --> 01:25:07,559
Speaker 3: have the worst feeling about the Patriots this year. And

1693
01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:09,280
Speaker 3: I don't mean the worst in terms of I have

1694
01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:10,760
Speaker 3: a dog in this fight and I want to see

1695
01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:14,680
Speaker 3: them succeed generally. I just think they're gonna stink and

1696
01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:17,040
Speaker 3: I don't think that Ezekiel Elliott's gonna be the fix.

1697
01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:19,080
Speaker 3: It is an interesting thing, but it just feels like

1698
01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:22,759
Speaker 3: the opportunity that they had to get better were before

1699
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:25,120
Speaker 3: they brought in Zeke Elliott, and they weren't able to

1700
01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:27,000
Speaker 3: actually pull any of those moves off.

1701
01:25:27,439 --> 01:25:30,840
Speaker 2: Do you think so? A couple things stand out here

1702
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:35,240
Speaker 2: is you whiff on DeAndre Hopkins a few weeks ago,

1703
01:25:35,479 --> 01:25:38,479
Speaker 2: and whatever I get why DeAndre Hopkins made a decisions

1704
01:25:38,520 --> 01:25:40,679
Speaker 2: he did, now you're going with Zeke, and I think

1705
01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:46,400
Speaker 2: it speaks to it speaks to like basically a couple

1706
01:25:46,520 --> 01:25:49,439
Speaker 2: things is one. It speaks to the fact that, let's

1707
01:25:49,479 --> 01:25:53,720
Speaker 2: be honest, is that you know, the Patriots through the

1708
01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:59,479
Speaker 2: years have completely whiffed and been incapable of drafting you know, drafting,

1709
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:03,719
Speaker 2: you know, talent as far as the skill positions are concerned.

1710
01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:08,679
Speaker 2: But then two also, you know, I do find it weird,

1711
01:26:08,720 --> 01:26:11,160
Speaker 2: like and I get like, you need to plug holes

1712
01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:12,840
Speaker 2: because you're not doing it through the draft because you're

1713
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:16,160
Speaker 2: not good at it. But uh, in aging DeAndre Hopkins,

1714
01:26:16,479 --> 01:26:20,559
Speaker 2: now in aging Ezekiel Elliott. To me, this is just

1715
01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:24,120
Speaker 2: a really, really really bad sign for the Patriots because again,

1716
01:26:24,360 --> 01:26:26,880
Speaker 2: you don't have that young talent. You don't have those

1717
01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:29,920
Speaker 2: young guys. I mean, look across this league at how

1718
01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:33,759
Speaker 2: many great, dynamic, young wide receivers there are. The Patriots

1719
01:26:33,800 --> 01:26:37,160
Speaker 2: don't have any of them. The fact that running backs

1720
01:26:37,200 --> 01:26:40,640
Speaker 2: are seemingly interchangeable, and I know they have Romandre Stevenson,

1721
01:26:40,720 --> 01:26:43,320
Speaker 2: I get that, but they obviously need more depth there

1722
01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:46,880
Speaker 2: as well. I don't know, Like, like, on the one hand,

1723
01:26:46,960 --> 01:26:49,880
Speaker 2: I get it, everyone's trying to look for more. Again,

1724
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:52,680
Speaker 2: the Jets are brought in Dalvin Cook this week, so

1725
01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:54,320
Speaker 2: it's not as though the Patriots are the only one

1726
01:26:54,320 --> 01:26:57,280
Speaker 2: in a market for older skill position guys. But at

1727
01:26:57,280 --> 01:26:59,400
Speaker 2: the same time, like it does speak to me that

1728
01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:02,160
Speaker 2: they're they're kind of scraping the bottom of the barrel.

1729
01:27:02,240 --> 01:27:05,080
Speaker 2: The veteran names, the big names that move the needle

1730
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:07,800
Speaker 2: with fans, but it also feels like they shouldn't be

1731
01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:09,680
Speaker 2: coming to it, shouldn't be coming down to that, if

1732
01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 2: that makes sense.

1733
01:27:10,479 --> 01:27:11,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. I mean it's kind of like the

1734
01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:15,200
Speaker 3: Lakers going for Russell Westbrook, you know. I mean you

1735
01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:17,720
Speaker 3: look at it again, like this is not the Patriots

1736
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:21,240
Speaker 3: going for Randy Moss exactly. Yep, it's not the same,

1737
01:27:21,439 --> 01:27:25,439
Speaker 3: Like this is Yeah, that's right. It's big names, but

1738
01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:29,320
Speaker 3: it's not great. Like there's that there's a truth, or

1739
01:27:29,360 --> 01:27:31,479
Speaker 3: there used to be a truth. Now we've seen a

1740
01:27:31,479 --> 01:27:34,040
Speaker 3: lot of this change in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and

1741
01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:38,040
Speaker 3: stuff like this. But like generally, if a cast had

1742
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:41,240
Speaker 3: too many A list actors, that film was actually not

1743
01:27:41,280 --> 01:27:44,000
Speaker 3: gonna be very good, Like it would just be overdone,

1744
01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:46,519
Speaker 3: or the script wouldn't be very good. They'd have a

1745
01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:48,559
Speaker 3: huge budget on it, it would cost a ton to have

1746
01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:50,400
Speaker 3: the actors, but it wouldn't do anything. But it'd have

1747
01:27:50,439 --> 01:27:52,920
Speaker 3: a bunch of big names, so maybe it would make

1748
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:54,920
Speaker 3: money despite the fact that it would not be a

1749
01:27:54,920 --> 01:27:57,320
Speaker 3: good film. Well, the Patriots are not going to be

1750
01:27:57,360 --> 01:27:59,920
Speaker 3: a good film, and they are trying to bring in

1751
01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:04,160
Speaker 3: a list names, and they're striking out on some of them,

1752
01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:05,960
Speaker 3: and maybe they're gonna strike out on another one here

1753
01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:08,040
Speaker 3: with Zeke. I have no idea, but I don't think

1754
01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:12,800
Speaker 3: anybody believes that Zeke is gonna be the answer to

1755
01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:17,160
Speaker 3: anybody's problems. I don't know that he's gonna cause any problems.

1756
01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:20,040
Speaker 3: But we've already seen the best Zeke Elliott, like the

1757
01:28:20,360 --> 01:28:22,680
Speaker 3: Zeke that we saw four four years ago or so,

1758
01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:25,679
Speaker 3: that was the best Zeke Elliott. Tony Poller was running

1759
01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:28,760
Speaker 3: circles around Zeke last year. I don't think he's going

1760
01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:30,240
Speaker 3: to be the answer to the woes. You remember when

1761
01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:33,000
Speaker 3: the Patriots went and got Corey Dillon and Corey Dillon

1762
01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:35,760
Speaker 3: turned into a monster for them. I don't think we're

1763
01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:36,679
Speaker 3: gonna see that again.

1764
01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:40,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, this almost reminds me of like, you know, and

1765
01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:44,920
Speaker 2: there's examples of this in the NFL and also in

1766
01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:48,160
Speaker 2: college football, where like you know, you go get the

1767
01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:51,559
Speaker 2: coordinator that's a big name, or even the head coach

1768
01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:54,840
Speaker 2: that's a big name but kind of like past his

1769
01:28:55,080 --> 01:28:57,840
Speaker 2: prime and it's like three years too late. And again

1770
01:28:58,080 --> 01:29:00,479
Speaker 2: it happens in sports too. Russell west Brooks a great

1771
01:29:00,479 --> 01:29:03,559
Speaker 2: example of it, it's almost like, you know, uh, I'll

1772
01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:05,160
Speaker 2: use an example from college football.

1773
01:29:05,720 --> 01:29:05,960
Speaker 3: Jim O.

1774
01:29:06,040 --> 01:29:08,800
Speaker 2: Fisher needs an offensive coordinator this this year. He can

1775
01:29:08,840 --> 01:29:11,280
Speaker 2: go get the young dynamic hot shot from Phil in

1776
01:29:11,320 --> 01:29:14,120
Speaker 2: the Blank school and he goes and gets Bobby Patrino

1777
01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:18,040
Speaker 2: and maybe it'll work. But Bobby Patrino also just feels

1778
01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:20,519
Speaker 2: like the guy that was like the hot name six

1779
01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:23,920
Speaker 2: years ago. That's kind of you know, he's called, let's

1780
01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:25,680
Speaker 2: call it what it is. He's fallen flat on his

1781
01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:28,759
Speaker 2: face over the last probably half decade, fired at Louisville,

1782
01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:30,960
Speaker 2: working in the lower levels. Now he's back in the

1783
01:29:30,960 --> 01:29:33,080
Speaker 2: big time. But I just bring that up because that's

1784
01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:36,960
Speaker 2: kind of what this feels like. Zeke DeAndre Hopkins. Like

1785
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:40,320
Speaker 2: these names sound great on paper, but I don't know

1786
01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:44,680
Speaker 2: that Like, like there are probably in I don't want

1787
01:29:44,720 --> 01:29:45,880
Speaker 2: to make up a number here, but there are a

1788
01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:49,240
Speaker 2: lot of young, dynamic wide receivers that you probably could

1789
01:29:49,240 --> 01:29:51,040
Speaker 2: have gotten in the second or third, or fourth or

1790
01:29:51,040 --> 01:29:53,479
Speaker 2: fifth round of the NFL Draft that are going to

1791
01:29:53,520 --> 01:29:56,320
Speaker 2: give you similar production to DeAndre Hopkins. But the name

1792
01:29:56,439 --> 01:29:59,160
Speaker 2: sounds cool. You could have found somebody in the second, third,

1793
01:29:59,200 --> 01:30:02,200
Speaker 2: fourth round at running back but the name Zeke Elliott

1794
01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:04,680
Speaker 2: sounds cool. It just feels like, again, if you want

1795
01:30:04,680 --> 01:30:07,679
Speaker 2: to use the movie analogy where you know, you take

1796
01:30:07,720 --> 01:30:10,800
Speaker 2: the star that that isn't really a star anymore and

1797
01:30:10,840 --> 01:30:13,880
Speaker 2: you try to headline them, or again you hire the

1798
01:30:13,920 --> 01:30:17,559
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator, you sign what Russell Westbrook? It just it's

1799
01:30:17,640 --> 01:30:21,160
Speaker 2: just the names sound like the guys that like like

1800
01:30:21,280 --> 01:30:23,519
Speaker 2: it almost sounds like the guys that the fans would

1801
01:30:23,560 --> 01:30:26,080
Speaker 2: want you to go after that there probably are better

1802
01:30:26,120 --> 01:30:27,040
Speaker 2: options at at this time.

1803
01:30:27,280 --> 01:30:29,799
Speaker 3: Look, you know what, maybe it's not even Russell Westbrook

1804
01:30:29,800 --> 01:30:32,160
Speaker 3: because at least you had Lebron at that point. It's

1805
01:30:32,200 --> 01:30:34,479
Speaker 3: more like when the Lakers went and grabbed Carl Malone

1806
01:30:34,520 --> 01:30:37,519
Speaker 3: and Steve Nash. Sure, it's that kind of move where

1807
01:30:37,560 --> 01:30:40,360
Speaker 3: it's like, man, Carl Malone's a beef, Steve Nash that's

1808
01:30:40,360 --> 01:30:44,720
Speaker 3: a two time MVP. Yeah, but what's the fit and

1809
01:30:44,760 --> 01:30:47,719
Speaker 3: what what's the objective here? Like how is this going

1810
01:30:47,760 --> 01:30:53,360
Speaker 3: to mesh? And again, these are marquee level names. I

1811
01:30:53,360 --> 01:30:55,760
Speaker 3: don't know what that actually means for them. They have

1812
01:30:55,880 --> 01:31:00,000
Speaker 3: done very little for Mac Jones this offseason. They've played

1813
01:31:00,160 --> 01:31:03,200
Speaker 3: him in a spot to fail unfortunately, and I think

1814
01:31:03,200 --> 01:31:06,360
Speaker 3: that's what we're gonna see. I just don't see, especially

1815
01:31:06,400 --> 01:31:09,840
Speaker 3: in that division. I mean, they could go winless in

1816
01:31:09,880 --> 01:31:13,320
Speaker 3: that division. It's highly possible. Do I think it will happen? No,

1817
01:31:13,880 --> 01:31:17,400
Speaker 3: probably not. But they're not gonna be a good football team.

1818
01:31:17,400 --> 01:31:19,680
Speaker 3: In fact, they're gonna be the worst version of the

1819
01:31:19,680 --> 01:31:22,920
Speaker 3: Patriots that we've seen in a long long time. And

1820
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:25,680
Speaker 3: I can't wait to kind of hear what we are

1821
01:31:25,800 --> 01:31:28,840
Speaker 3: saying about them and about that organization and about the

1822
01:31:28,880 --> 01:31:32,519
Speaker 3: future of that organization sometime around Thanksgiving.

1823
01:31:32,320 --> 01:31:35,040
Speaker 2: Really quick, since we're doing the running back rundown, Does

1824
01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:37,559
Speaker 2: Dalvin Cook potentially go into the Jets move the needle

1825
01:31:37,640 --> 01:31:38,040
Speaker 2: wall for you?

1826
01:31:38,760 --> 01:31:42,080
Speaker 3: I mean, it's interesting. I still think Dalvin coach got talent.

1827
01:31:42,160 --> 01:31:44,320
Speaker 3: He's another guy that's dealt with injuries. And they've got

1828
01:31:44,320 --> 01:31:47,479
Speaker 3: a guy and Brisall that was playing great for them

1829
01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:51,519
Speaker 3: last year before he got hurt. But look, Aaron Rodgers

1830
01:31:51,560 --> 01:31:54,400
Speaker 3: gave up some money. So maybe you do take a

1831
01:31:54,400 --> 01:31:56,559
Speaker 3: flyer on Dalvin, or maybe you do make a phone

1832
01:31:56,560 --> 01:31:59,960
Speaker 3: call to Indianapolis and just see what's out there. Until

1833
01:32:00,280 --> 01:32:03,439
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor, you've put yourself in a spot where you

1834
01:32:03,520 --> 01:32:05,400
Speaker 3: might have a little bit of capital to play with.

1835
01:32:06,160 --> 01:32:08,679
Speaker 3: If it were me, unless I just didn't think Brice

1836
01:32:08,760 --> 01:32:11,559
Speaker 3: Hall could go, if I thought that that injury was

1837
01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:14,200
Speaker 3: really going to harm him, or if I knew something,

1838
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:17,040
Speaker 3: I would roll with Brice Hall again because I saw

1839
01:32:17,120 --> 01:32:19,760
Speaker 3: nothing to indicate he couldn't get the job done last year,

1840
01:32:19,760 --> 01:32:21,160
Speaker 3: and he's still on his rookie deal.

1841
01:32:21,479 --> 01:32:23,360
Speaker 2: Jason, There's a lot of football going on, but there

1842
01:32:23,439 --> 01:32:26,360
Speaker 2: is a marquee boxing match tonight that has just gone final.

Speaker 2: Terrence Crawford wins by ninth round t KO over Aerol Spence.

1895
01:35:17,240 --> 01:35:19,679
Speaker 2: Jason and I were you know hosting the show while

1896
01:35:19,680 --> 01:35:21,960
Speaker 2: it was going on, so we couldn't watch closely. Just

1897
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:24,719
Speaker 2: a little commentary from somebody that was in the arena.

1898
01:35:25,880 --> 01:35:29,160
Speaker 2: Steve Karp, who covers the was covering the fight for

1899
01:35:29,600 --> 01:35:32,360
Speaker 2: The Sporting Tribune, said, so much for being the fight

1900
01:35:32,439 --> 01:35:34,400
Speaker 2: of the year or the fight of the past five years.

1901
01:35:34,439 --> 01:35:37,440
Speaker 2: This was and is a blowout. The welts on Spence's

1902
01:35:37,479 --> 01:35:40,360
Speaker 2: face are visible for fans sitting in the high priced

1903
01:35:40,400 --> 01:35:43,680
Speaker 2: nose nosebleed seats at T Mobile Arena. Crawford has made

1904
01:35:43,880 --> 01:35:47,679
Speaker 2: Spence look very ordinary, and he is a world class champion.

1905
01:35:48,120 --> 01:35:50,960
Speaker 2: The referee should stop, should think about stopping the fight soon,

1906
01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:53,200
Speaker 2: which is exactly what happened. This was right before the

1907
01:35:53,240 --> 01:35:55,840
Speaker 2: fight was called. And then he says, there it is.

1908
01:35:55,840 --> 01:35:59,400
Speaker 2: The referee has stopped it. Terrence Crawford, your undisputed champion

1909
01:35:59,680 --> 01:36:03,160
Speaker 2: really quickly. Chris Purfett certainly more of a boxing guy

1910
01:36:03,200 --> 01:36:06,200
Speaker 2: than I am. Again, we're reacting in real time and

1911
01:36:06,520 --> 01:36:09,320
Speaker 2: obviously doing the show. We couldn't watch it as closely

1912
01:36:10,439 --> 01:36:13,000
Speaker 2: as you know, people covering it or whatever. But Chris,

1913
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:14,240
Speaker 2: I know you're a little bit of a boxing guy.

1914
01:36:14,240 --> 01:36:16,000
Speaker 2: Anything any perspective to really add.

1915
01:36:15,840 --> 01:36:19,839
Speaker 5: Here, Yeah, I'm very happy with the dominance Crawford showed.

1916
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:22,320
Speaker 5: I know they could probably rematch at some point, but

1917
01:36:23,040 --> 01:36:25,080
Speaker 5: I feel like this is the kind of result I

1918
01:36:25,120 --> 01:36:27,760
Speaker 5: would want as a boxing fan. Is that I didn't

1919
01:36:27,760 --> 01:36:29,679
Speaker 5: mind if it was going to be Spence or Crawford,

1920
01:36:29,680 --> 01:36:32,920
Speaker 5: but Crawford came out with such conviction, got a knock down,

1921
01:36:33,080 --> 01:36:35,559
Speaker 5: got the stop in the ninth that you just want

1922
01:36:35,600 --> 01:36:37,320
Speaker 5: a guy where there's just not going to be too

1923
01:36:37,320 --> 01:36:41,000
Speaker 5: many questions. Like I think we were talking during the break,

1924
01:36:41,439 --> 01:36:45,000
Speaker 5: Boxing's had too many times where there's been these champions

1925
01:36:45,040 --> 01:36:47,280
Speaker 5: who are either ducking each other or so afraid of

1926
01:36:47,280 --> 01:36:51,120
Speaker 5: their undefeated record. Because the paradigm was shifted completely by

1927
01:36:51,160 --> 01:36:55,000
Speaker 5: Floyd Mayweather. The only thing that matters is the undefeated,

1928
01:36:55,479 --> 01:36:58,240
Speaker 5: and you don't have the belts together. You had everything here,

1929
01:36:58,520 --> 01:37:00,840
Speaker 5: You had everything here in this fight, and thankfully it

1930
01:37:00,880 --> 01:37:04,720
Speaker 5: seems to have been a fight that just completely completely delivered.

1931
01:37:04,880 --> 01:37:07,000
Speaker 5: And for boxing, that's something I think people were just

1932
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:10,559
Speaker 5: waiting for for a long time, like a big boxing

1933
01:37:10,600 --> 01:37:12,840
Speaker 5: match will stop the world on its head, and we

1934
01:37:12,960 --> 01:37:14,040
Speaker 5: just got that tonight.

1935
01:37:14,320 --> 01:37:16,519
Speaker 2: Yeah. As I said throughout the week, you know Fox

1936
01:37:16,560 --> 01:37:19,880
Speaker 2: Sports Radio really you know our colleagues did an unbelievable

1937
01:37:19,960 --> 01:37:23,519
Speaker 2: job with the coverage out there again, Rob Parker, Chris Bussard,

1938
01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:25,559
Speaker 2: the odd couple were not only out for their show

1939
01:37:25,680 --> 01:37:27,880
Speaker 2: last week or last night. Excuse me, but we're at

1940
01:37:27,920 --> 01:37:30,599
Speaker 2: the fight tonight. Maybe I'll text Rob see if we'll

1941
01:37:30,640 --> 01:37:32,840
Speaker 2: get him on. I doubt that we'll be able to

1942
01:37:32,840 --> 01:37:35,120
Speaker 2: get him at this hour. If I know Rob, he

1943
01:37:35,240 --> 01:37:38,160
Speaker 2: will be. He'll be doing something fun that doesn't include

1944
01:37:38,200 --> 01:37:40,680
Speaker 2: calling us. You never know, but to say, do you

1945
01:37:40,720 --> 01:37:42,160
Speaker 2: have anything to add really quick? I don't mean to

1946
01:37:42,400 --> 01:37:44,240
Speaker 2: loop you in here. There were a.

1947
01:37:44,200 --> 01:37:47,200
Speaker 8: Couple of writers who had at seven rounds to one

1948
01:37:47,320 --> 01:37:50,800
Speaker 8: wow that it was complete and total domination, and it

1949
01:37:50,880 --> 01:37:54,599
Speaker 8: wound up being three times knocked down a guy who

1950
01:37:54,760 --> 01:37:58,320
Speaker 8: was undefeated tonight, Eryl Spence was twenty eight and zero

1951
01:37:58,320 --> 01:38:00,920
Speaker 8: with twenty two knockouts and yeah, down in the second

1952
01:38:01,040 --> 01:38:03,640
Speaker 8: round twice in the seventh, including at the end of

1953
01:38:03,680 --> 01:38:06,000
Speaker 8: the seventh. So a guy who owned three of the

1954
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:08,280
Speaker 8: four title belts owns none now.

1955
01:38:08,320 --> 01:38:10,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, And if you even go on social media, you

1956
01:38:10,760 --> 01:38:14,120
Speaker 2: can now find the clip where the fight is ended,

1957
01:38:14,479 --> 01:38:18,519
Speaker 2: and it's not anything like Super Major Super Marquee, so

1958
01:38:18,600 --> 01:38:20,640
Speaker 2: it kind of shows you you know. It kind of

1959
01:38:20,680 --> 01:38:25,479
Speaker 2: shows you just exactly how indevitable, Yeah, that Crawford, you know,

1960
01:38:25,720 --> 01:38:28,840
Speaker 2: like if you're watching it, it's not as though, you

1961
01:38:28,880 --> 01:38:33,240
Speaker 2: know whatever, Like it's clear that Crawford was dominating the fight,

1962
01:38:33,240 --> 01:38:34,559
Speaker 2: as de Seger said many.

1963
01:38:34,439 --> 01:38:37,040
Speaker 8: Well in the punch stats that it was Crawford out

1964
01:38:37,120 --> 01:38:40,520
Speaker 8: landing Spence roughly one nine hundred.

1965
01:38:40,240 --> 01:38:43,479
Speaker 5: Yeah to one margin CompuBox looks like a bit of

1966
01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:45,679
Speaker 5: a bloodbath here. I'm not gonna lie.

1967
01:38:45,520 --> 01:38:47,760
Speaker 2: To either of you know. Was I know everyone was

1968
01:38:47,800 --> 01:38:49,679
Speaker 2: expecting to be a great fight, which it didn't turn

1969
01:38:49,680 --> 01:38:53,559
Speaker 2: out to be. Was was Crawford deemed the favorite coming in?

1970
01:38:53,600 --> 01:38:54,840
Speaker 2: I don't even know. I don't know if either of

1971
01:38:54,880 --> 01:38:57,559
Speaker 2: you would know off the top of your head, but sorry,

1972
01:38:57,720 --> 01:39:01,200
Speaker 2: I'm trying to find the odds, right, Yeah, No, it

1973
01:39:01,280 --> 01:39:04,040
Speaker 2: speaks to listen, everybody that had the opportunity to offered

1974
01:39:04,080 --> 01:39:06,600
Speaker 2: I think was one fifty minus one fifty. Yeah, so

1975
01:39:06,640 --> 01:39:08,400
Speaker 2: I mean listen, I mean, it wouldn't have been one

1976
01:39:08,439 --> 01:39:10,519
Speaker 2: of the most type fights of the last probably I

1977
01:39:10,560 --> 01:39:16,280
Speaker 2: would say decade easily if they weren't deemed to be worthy,

1978
01:39:16,360 --> 01:39:18,920
Speaker 2: you know, worthy contenders again, Aero Spence coming in at

1979
01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:20,000
Speaker 2: twenty eight in O ten.

1980
01:39:20,080 --> 01:39:22,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, and guys were saying, we're finally getting these two

1981
01:39:22,200 --> 01:39:24,160
Speaker 8: together and they're not past their prime.

1982
01:39:24,560 --> 01:39:26,800
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be honest like I was. I've had my

1983
01:39:26,840 --> 01:39:29,320
Speaker 5: head down in the NFL, and this missed my radar entirely.

1984
01:39:29,360 --> 01:39:31,559
Speaker 5: They looked up and like, wait, these two are actually fighting.

1985
01:39:31,600 --> 01:39:34,479
Speaker 5: The only thing I kept waiting for was eventually getting

1986
01:39:34,520 --> 01:39:38,200
Speaker 5: Wilder and whoever, whoever Gypsy King's gonna fight again. But

1987
01:39:38,200 --> 01:39:40,479
Speaker 5: instead we got this. I'm like, okay, I know where

1988
01:39:40,520 --> 01:39:41,000
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be.

1989
01:39:42,000 --> 01:39:45,280
Speaker 2: Well, we will uh well, you know, obviously, we'll probably

1990
01:39:45,280 --> 01:39:47,479
Speaker 2: get some sound by the end of the night, and

1991
01:39:47,520 --> 01:39:50,120
Speaker 2: we will get you know, any more details as they

1992
01:39:50,120 --> 01:39:50,519
Speaker 2: come out.

1993
01:39:50,560 --> 01:39:54,040
Speaker 8: But again, it does not top, therefore the welterweight battles

1994
01:39:54,080 --> 01:39:55,080
Speaker 8: of the early eighties.

1995
01:39:55,320 --> 01:40:00,000
Speaker 2: Yes, this is not uh this, I'm not old enough,

1996
01:40:00,120 --> 01:40:03,600
Speaker 2: remember Hagler and hearns this doesn't sound like, you know,

1997
01:40:03,680 --> 01:40:04,920
Speaker 2: anything quite like that.

1998
01:40:05,080 --> 01:40:09,120
Speaker 8: So so yeah, that's one of the most action packed

1999
01:40:09,200 --> 01:40:12,280
Speaker 8: fights I can remember in my lifetime. With al Michael's

2000
01:40:12,320 --> 01:40:13,800
Speaker 8: calling it, I do recall it's just.

2001
01:40:13,720 --> 01:40:16,360
Speaker 5: A shot in the arm that that division needed with

2002
01:40:16,400 --> 01:40:19,080
Speaker 5: this fight. It's a shot in the arm, especially again

2003
01:40:19,240 --> 01:40:23,160
Speaker 5: since the Mayweather's legacy is all over this division of

2004
01:40:23,360 --> 01:40:26,519
Speaker 5: just guys ducking each other, of just everyone too timid

2005
01:40:26,520 --> 01:40:30,840
Speaker 5: to really fight, waiting for favorable opportunities, waiting until after

2006
01:40:30,880 --> 01:40:32,760
Speaker 5: they've lost an undefeated record.

2007
01:40:32,600 --> 01:40:35,000
Speaker 8: For the match just not being made because of business,

2008
01:40:35,080 --> 01:40:38,120
Speaker 8: and then years go by. Too many years here.

2009
01:40:38,840 --> 01:40:43,799
Speaker 3: NBA dunk contests. None of the stars want that loss.

2010
01:40:43,920 --> 01:40:47,519
Speaker 2: I'm looking, by the way, at ESPN's Pound for pound

2011
01:40:47,560 --> 01:40:50,439
Speaker 2: Best Fighters in the World rankings. Both were in the

2012
01:40:50,479 --> 01:40:54,360
Speaker 2: top four coming into today, Terrence Crawford number one, Aero

2013
01:40:54,479 --> 01:40:56,160
Speaker 2: Spence Junior number four.

2014
01:40:56,200 --> 01:40:59,320
Speaker 8: As the La Times put it, Terrence Bud Crawford saved

2015
01:40:59,320 --> 01:41:02,040
Speaker 8: his best perfer formance for his biggest stage.

2016
01:41:02,520 --> 01:41:05,400
Speaker 2: There you go. So that is the final in Vegas

2017
01:41:05,760 --> 01:41:10,519
Speaker 2: as again Terrence Crawford ninth round TKO over Erol Spence,

2018
01:41:10,520 --> 01:41:13,439
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio aerin Tours Jason Martin. I think we

2019
01:41:13,560 --> 01:41:15,719
Speaker 2: just stole a little bit of your thunder to saga

2020
01:41:15,720 --> 01:41:19,400
Speaker 2: on what's trending, So I apologize, but but this is

2021
01:41:19,439 --> 01:41:21,559
Speaker 2: obviously one of many things going on in the world

2022
01:41:21,560 --> 01:41:22,880
Speaker 2: of sports. In the floor is yours?

2023
01:41:22,920 --> 01:41:26,559
Speaker 8: Never a quiet Saturday night on this show? Ventairez Terrence

2024
01:41:26,600 --> 01:41:29,520
Speaker 8: Crawford now forty to oh after his ninth round TKO

2025
01:41:29,680 --> 01:41:34,120
Speaker 8: of Errol Spence. Crawford, aged thirty five, was the WBO champ. Spence,

2026
01:41:34,160 --> 01:41:39,960
Speaker 8: age thirty three, had owned three title belts WBA, WBF, IBF. Here,

2027
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:43,679
Speaker 8: Crawford's won titles in three different divisions coming in welter.

2028
01:41:43,720 --> 01:41:43,880
Speaker 7: Wait.

2029
01:41:43,880 --> 01:41:47,000
Speaker 8: It's one hundred and forty seven pounds. Not close, and

2030
01:41:47,040 --> 01:41:49,439
Speaker 8: as we mentioned, Crawford knocked down his opponent in the

2031
01:41:49,439 --> 01:41:52,719
Speaker 8: second round and twice in the seventh. Running Back Sony

2032
01:41:52,720 --> 01:41:55,840
Speaker 8: Michelle decided to retire according to the Rams, and Colt's

2033
01:41:55,920 --> 01:41:58,800
Speaker 8: running back Jonathan Taylor requested a trade, but the team

2034
01:41:58,840 --> 01:42:01,920
Speaker 8: says it will not deal. In Meanwhile, free agent running

2035
01:42:01,920 --> 01:42:05,200
Speaker 8: back Ezekiel Elliott met with the Patriots but left without

2036
01:42:05,200 --> 01:42:08,280
Speaker 8: a deal. There are deals in Major League Baseball still

2037
01:42:08,280 --> 01:42:11,719
Speaker 8: A coming. MLB trade deadline is Tuesday, that'll be August first.

2038
01:42:11,760 --> 01:42:15,840
Speaker 8: Already on Tuesday, the Texas Rangers tonight are acquiring pitcher

2039
01:42:15,920 --> 01:42:19,280
Speaker 8: Max Scherzer from the Mets. He waved his no trade clause.

2040
01:42:19,360 --> 01:42:22,479
Speaker 8: The Mets also give Texas millions to help pay from

2041
01:42:22,479 --> 01:42:24,880
Speaker 8: for the next year and a half. Texas gave up

2042
01:42:24,920 --> 01:42:26,880
Speaker 8: four runs in the second and got shut out at

2043
01:42:26,920 --> 01:42:30,280
Speaker 8: San Diego tonight, four nothing Padres the final. The Mets

2044
01:42:30,280 --> 01:42:32,280
Speaker 8: waited through about an hour and a half rain delay

2045
01:42:32,320 --> 01:42:35,960
Speaker 8: at the start and eventually lost to Washington eleven to six.

2046
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:38,640
Speaker 8: The Mets record is forty nine and fifty five with

2047
01:42:38,720 --> 01:42:41,720
Speaker 8: that payroll, Padres, with that payroll. They came in at

2048
01:42:41,720 --> 01:42:45,599
Speaker 8: fifty and fifty four tonight Oakland and Arizona with wins.

2049
01:42:45,600 --> 01:42:47,960
Speaker 8: The Dodgers got only two hits but still beat the

2050
01:42:47,960 --> 01:42:50,280
Speaker 8: Reds three to two. Those two hits were both long

2051
01:42:50,320 --> 01:42:53,360
Speaker 8: balls off the bat of Maax Monsey. Atlanta wins again

2052
01:42:53,439 --> 01:42:56,160
Speaker 8: eleven to five over Milwaukee. It was eleven to one

2053
01:42:56,280 --> 01:42:59,439
Speaker 8: after seven innings. The Cubs have won eight in a row.

2054
01:42:59,479 --> 01:43:02,600
Speaker 8: They are very very much in the wildcard chase. The

2055
01:43:02,640 --> 01:43:05,040
Speaker 8: Cubs are up to fifty three and fifty one. They

2056
01:43:05,040 --> 01:43:07,639
Speaker 8: won a rival Saint Louis five to one. The Cardinals

2057
01:43:07,640 --> 01:43:10,360
Speaker 8: said pregame they are not trading third base with Nolan

2058
01:43:10,439 --> 01:43:14,360
Speaker 8: Aernato Houston, according to USA Today, is talking with the

2059
01:43:14,400 --> 01:43:18,160
Speaker 8: Mets about pitcher Justin Verlander. Houston hit five home runs

2060
01:43:18,200 --> 01:43:21,240
Speaker 8: tonight in a victory over Tampa Bay seventeen to four.

2061
01:43:21,640 --> 01:43:24,400
Speaker 8: San Francisco Homard in the ninth to beat Boston three

2062
01:43:24,439 --> 01:43:27,400
Speaker 8: to two. Yankees won eight three at Baltimore home runs

2063
01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:31,120
Speaker 8: from Juncarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge. And they've just kicked

2064
01:43:31,120 --> 01:43:34,559
Speaker 8: off the Women's World Cup doubleheader on Fox TV, yes

2065
01:43:34,640 --> 01:43:38,600
Speaker 8: at this hour, starting two games South Korea against Morocco.

2066
01:43:38,640 --> 01:43:43,320
Speaker 8: And if you know anything about Morocco, well, they had

2067
01:43:43,320 --> 01:43:46,040
Speaker 8: to play Germany in their opening game, lost six nothings.

2068
01:43:46,080 --> 01:43:48,240
Speaker 8: So let's just hope they can get on a board

2069
01:43:48,280 --> 01:43:51,720
Speaker 8: at some point in this tournament. Next after this, it's

2070
01:43:51,760 --> 01:43:55,240
Speaker 8: New Zealand hosting Switzerland three am Eastern time. FS one

2071
01:43:55,360 --> 01:43:57,200
Speaker 8: has two games overnight as well.

2072
01:43:57,240 --> 01:44:00,519
Speaker 2: Back to you, Thank you very much, Steve Seger. Segur

2073
01:44:00,600 --> 01:44:04,080
Speaker 2: will rejoin us here momentarily. By the way, busy night

2074
01:44:04,120 --> 01:44:07,000
Speaker 2: in combat sports. I'm far from a UFC expert, but

2075
01:44:07,160 --> 01:44:09,840
Speaker 2: Justin Gatchee just had a kick to the head of

2076
01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:13,240
Speaker 2: Dustin Porier that put him down. So busy night in

2077
01:44:13,280 --> 01:44:17,040
Speaker 2: combat sports there and again we will react to all

2078
01:44:17,080 --> 01:44:19,719
Speaker 2: of it as the night goes on Fox Sports Radio.

2079
01:44:19,800 --> 01:44:22,439
Speaker 2: Er Toorus Jason Martin, broadcasting live from the tire rack

2080
01:44:22,520 --> 01:44:27,200
Speaker 2: dot Com studios. Jason, one other really significant NFL story

2081
01:44:27,840 --> 01:44:29,960
Speaker 2: that we didn't have or we haven't had a chance

2082
01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:31,840
Speaker 2: to talk about today, and it speaks to how much

2083
01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:34,080
Speaker 2: has gone on in the NFL just this past week.

2084
01:44:34,360 --> 01:44:37,759
Speaker 2: That is the injury to Jalen Ramsey. We're not breaking

2085
01:44:37,800 --> 01:44:40,840
Speaker 2: any news here, but goes down early in training camp

2086
01:44:41,520 --> 01:44:44,719
Speaker 2: and he is now Listen, he's going he's undergoing knee

2087
01:44:44,760 --> 01:44:47,000
Speaker 2: surgery and he thinks he'll be back by the end

2088
01:44:47,040 --> 01:44:49,439
Speaker 2: of the year. None of us really know. But for

2089
01:44:49,600 --> 01:44:54,160
Speaker 2: a Miami Dolphins team that had so many expectations coming in,

2090
01:44:55,000 --> 01:44:56,600
Speaker 2: this is just not the way that you want to

2091
01:44:56,640 --> 01:44:57,280
Speaker 2: start your season.

2092
01:44:57,320 --> 01:45:02,320
Speaker 3: Jays, No, it's not. And this is the kind of

2093
01:45:02,360 --> 01:45:05,559
Speaker 3: guy that you go and get when you feel like

2094
01:45:05,600 --> 01:45:09,880
Speaker 3: you're awfully close and you're gonna need him, and you're

2095
01:45:09,920 --> 01:45:12,840
Speaker 3: definitely gonna need him in that conference bringing him from

2096
01:45:12,880 --> 01:45:16,080
Speaker 3: the NFC back to the AFC. Jaylen Ramsey is one

2097
01:45:16,080 --> 01:45:18,360
Speaker 3: of those guys that you know, sometimes might he may

2098
01:45:18,439 --> 01:45:20,639
Speaker 3: go for too much and as such, he might give

2099
01:45:20,720 --> 01:45:22,840
Speaker 3: up a big play here and there, but he could

2100
01:45:22,840 --> 01:45:26,919
Speaker 3: be the difference between, you know, saving you a touchdown

2101
01:45:27,000 --> 01:45:29,040
Speaker 3: here and there from an Allen or a Mahomes that

2102
01:45:29,120 --> 01:45:32,120
Speaker 3: can get you a win. Luckily, Look, if you're gonna

2103
01:45:32,120 --> 01:45:35,559
Speaker 3: get him hurt, Get him hurt now, Get him hurt now,

2104
01:45:36,120 --> 01:45:38,519
Speaker 3: and hopefully he's good to go for the remainder of

2105
01:45:38,520 --> 01:45:41,559
Speaker 3: the season. After that, you're not gonna bring an Eli

2106
01:45:41,600 --> 01:45:45,040
Speaker 3: apple and fix that, But at the same time, you

2107
01:45:45,080 --> 01:45:48,639
Speaker 3: can sustain it a little bit more Now. Now, it's

2108
01:45:48,680 --> 01:45:50,920
Speaker 3: gonna put the onus on some of the other guys.

2109
01:45:50,960 --> 01:45:53,160
Speaker 3: It's gonna change what he's able to do in his

2110
01:45:53,280 --> 01:45:55,799
Speaker 3: ramp up period. But he's a pro. If he comes

2111
01:45:55,800 --> 01:45:58,760
Speaker 3: back and he's good to go, he'll be what they

2112
01:45:58,840 --> 01:46:00,960
Speaker 3: need in the stretch around, and maybe he'll turn out

2113
01:46:00,960 --> 01:46:03,599
Speaker 3: to be a little bit fresher and that could turn

2114
01:46:03,640 --> 01:46:05,000
Speaker 3: out to be a blessing in disguise.

2115
01:46:05,360 --> 01:46:07,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, what I would say is a couple of things. One,

2116
01:46:07,560 --> 01:46:09,920
Speaker 2: I have had two meniscus surgeries, and I can't tell

2117
01:46:09,960 --> 01:46:12,840
Speaker 2: you it is something. In theory, he could come back

2118
01:46:12,880 --> 01:46:17,080
Speaker 2: from this year with you know he had When I

2119
01:46:17,120 --> 01:46:21,360
Speaker 2: say he had a significantly better you know, medical personnel

2120
01:46:21,400 --> 01:46:23,360
Speaker 2: around him. No disrespect to my doctors, they did a

2121
01:46:23,360 --> 01:46:25,679
Speaker 2: great job. But maybe in the rehab process, I certainly

2122
01:46:25,680 --> 01:46:27,680
Speaker 2: didn't have access to the people that he did. So

2123
01:46:27,800 --> 01:46:29,800
Speaker 2: in theory, if his body handles it the way that

2124
01:46:29,880 --> 01:46:32,720
Speaker 2: it likely should, he should be back this year. But

2125
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:34,880
Speaker 2: all it really speaks to me, Jason, is, you know

2126
01:46:34,920 --> 01:46:37,559
Speaker 2: we talked about I forget who we're even discussing earlier,

2127
01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:41,160
Speaker 2: but sometimes just stuff just happens and it feels like, Okay,

2128
01:46:41,840 --> 01:46:45,040
Speaker 2: maybe it's just not your year. And I'm not certainly

2129
01:46:45,080 --> 01:46:47,600
Speaker 2: saying that about the Miami Dolphins, but you know, this

2130
01:46:47,720 --> 01:46:51,240
Speaker 2: is a team that is coming in with so much expectations.

2131
01:46:51,640 --> 01:46:55,880
Speaker 2: The roster is right there right now, and I just

2132
01:46:55,880 --> 01:46:58,400
Speaker 2: sit there and say, like, like, you know, for this

2133
01:46:58,520 --> 01:47:01,519
Speaker 2: to happen out of training camp first day is just

2134
01:47:01,640 --> 01:47:04,200
Speaker 2: so so so brutal for a team that has so

2135
01:47:04,360 --> 01:47:07,800
Speaker 2: much excitement going into this year, but also so many

2136
01:47:08,400 --> 01:47:11,360
Speaker 2: not really questions as much as like their margin for

2137
01:47:11,520 --> 01:47:14,000
Speaker 2: error just isn't great. And I know nobody's margin for

2138
01:47:14,080 --> 01:47:15,960
Speaker 2: error is great, but when you have a quarterback with

2139
01:47:16,000 --> 01:47:19,720
Speaker 2: the injury history, specifically the concussion history of Tua, you

2140
01:47:19,840 --> 01:47:22,439
Speaker 2: know that margin is very thin. And so for this

2141
01:47:22,640 --> 01:47:27,040
Speaker 2: to happen on day one again, maybe they have an

2142
01:47:27,040 --> 01:47:29,160
Speaker 2: incredible year, they win the division, they're way better than

2143
01:47:29,160 --> 01:47:32,040
Speaker 2: everybody thinks, but I just I don't know, man, it

2144
01:47:32,120 --> 01:47:35,160
Speaker 2: just feels like, again, the margin for error when Tua

2145
01:47:35,240 --> 01:47:37,479
Speaker 2: is your quarterback is so thin, not the way you

2146
01:47:37,479 --> 01:47:38,320
Speaker 2: want to start things off.

2147
01:47:38,400 --> 01:47:41,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. I mean that's definitely true that you're

2148
01:47:41,200 --> 01:47:43,519
Speaker 3: not sure about his health. The last thing you want

2149
01:47:43,960 --> 01:47:49,040
Speaker 3: is a stud cornerback that comes up laying before the

2150
01:47:49,080 --> 01:47:52,000
Speaker 3: season starts and puts you behind the eight ball. There.

2151
01:47:53,600 --> 01:47:56,519
Speaker 3: That's still going to be the question mark this year

2152
01:47:56,800 --> 01:48:00,000
Speaker 3: surrounding the Dolphins. And I saw this. I can't remember

2153
01:48:00,160 --> 01:48:03,200
Speaker 3: exactly who it was that I saw that that made

2154
01:48:03,280 --> 01:48:08,200
Speaker 3: this comparison, but effectively, if you look at Jalen Hurts

2155
01:48:08,280 --> 01:48:10,400
Speaker 3: last year, there were all these questions as to what

2156
01:48:10,439 --> 01:48:12,519
Speaker 3: was Hurt's going to do and if he did pull

2157
01:48:12,520 --> 01:48:14,639
Speaker 3: it off, he was gonna get a massive deal. Well,

2158
01:48:14,680 --> 01:48:16,240
Speaker 3: he pulled it off and he got a massive deal.

2159
01:48:16,280 --> 01:48:19,320
Speaker 3: He stayed healthy, and he grew into the position. If

2160
01:48:19,360 --> 01:48:23,479
Speaker 3: Tua was able to stay healthy this season and the

2161
01:48:23,560 --> 01:48:27,360
Speaker 3: Dolphins accomplished something, he's the next guy in line that

2162
01:48:27,400 --> 01:48:30,479
Speaker 3: would get that big deal that might before the season

2163
01:48:30,640 --> 01:48:32,679
Speaker 3: have been a little bit more of a question mark.

2164
01:48:33,200 --> 01:48:36,000
Speaker 3: So that's still gonna be the biggest challenge for the

2165
01:48:36,040 --> 01:48:38,559
Speaker 3: Dolphins is finding a way to keep that guy healthy

2166
01:48:39,360 --> 01:48:42,280
Speaker 3: amidst that conference so that they could stay afloat because

2167
01:48:42,400 --> 01:48:45,639
Speaker 3: they're not going to survive the AFC with a backup.

2168
01:48:46,200 --> 01:48:49,439
Speaker 2: It's just so fascinating, especially in that division. We just

2169
01:48:49,439 --> 01:48:51,599
Speaker 2: talked about the Patriots, and it goes without saying they

2170
01:48:51,640 --> 01:48:55,240
Speaker 2: have a lot of questions as far as you know

2171
01:48:55,320 --> 01:48:57,600
Speaker 2: their offense, but you're going up against two of the

2172
01:48:57,640 --> 01:49:01,080
Speaker 2: best quarterbacks in the league in that day vision, just

2173
01:49:01,120 --> 01:49:04,160
Speaker 2: a bad, bad, bad sign. And again maybe it means nothing.

2174
01:49:04,240 --> 01:49:06,880
Speaker 2: It's not as though other injuries are not gonna happen

2175
01:49:07,560 --> 01:49:10,320
Speaker 2: across the NFL, not only in training camp, but certainly

2176
01:49:10,360 --> 01:49:12,240
Speaker 2: as we get closer to the season, but just not

2177
01:49:12,320 --> 01:49:13,280
Speaker 2: the way that you want to start.

2178
01:49:13,320 --> 01:49:13,479
Speaker 3: Now.

2179
01:49:13,479 --> 01:49:15,439
Speaker 2: On the flip side, as you said, Jason, maybe this

2180
01:49:15,600 --> 01:49:17,880
Speaker 2: is a blessing in disguise. If you're gonna deal with

2181
01:49:17,880 --> 01:49:20,719
Speaker 2: an injury like this, at least it happens now. And again,

2182
01:49:20,760 --> 01:49:23,400
Speaker 2: the hope is that Jalen Ramsey will be back by

2183
01:49:23,400 --> 01:49:25,759
Speaker 2: the end of the season. Again, in theory, he should

2184
01:49:25,760 --> 01:49:29,479
Speaker 2: be able to be back probably around Thanksgiving or so,

2185
01:49:29,680 --> 01:49:34,640
Speaker 2: about three months from now. Has already undergone surgery, and

2186
01:49:34,680 --> 01:49:37,439
Speaker 2: you know, everybody's saying all the right things about the

2187
01:49:37,520 --> 01:49:40,559
Speaker 2: injury and about his timetable for recovery. As you said,

2188
01:49:40,840 --> 01:49:44,479
Speaker 2: Eli Apple has signed in his place, although safe to

2189
01:49:44,479 --> 01:49:46,360
Speaker 2: say you're not getting the same production out of Eli

2190
01:49:46,400 --> 01:49:49,200
Speaker 2: Apple that you do. From Jalen Ramsey, Fox Sports Radio

Speaker 2: depending on where you are, Let's toss it over to

2206
01:50:38,520 --> 01:50:40,719
Speaker 2: Steve de Sagret at the news desk, A nice long

2207
01:50:40,760 --> 01:50:42,240
Speaker 2: extended update for you, my friend.

2208
01:50:42,320 --> 01:50:45,679
Speaker 8: Well, it is Sunday in Adelaide, Australia, after two pm

2209
01:50:45,840 --> 01:50:48,040
Speaker 8: on a Sunday, and that's where this game, the first

2210
01:50:48,080 --> 01:50:50,680
Speaker 8: of the doubleheader on Fox TV, is taking place at

2211
01:50:50,720 --> 01:50:53,639
Speaker 8: the Women's World Cup. We had mentioned this hour. Hopefully

2212
01:50:53,680 --> 01:50:56,080
Speaker 8: Morocco can just get a goal at some point in

2213
01:50:56,120 --> 01:50:58,240
Speaker 8: this tournament. This is a team that's been shut out

2214
01:50:58,280 --> 01:51:01,160
Speaker 8: four straight games this year. Lost their opener of this

2215
01:51:01,240 --> 01:51:05,479
Speaker 8: World Cup six nothing to Germany. Morocco has scored ladies

2216
01:51:05,520 --> 01:51:08,519
Speaker 8: and gentlemen in early one nothing lead against South Korea

2217
01:51:08,600 --> 01:51:10,479
Speaker 8: on a diving header, and they almost just got a

2218
01:51:10,520 --> 01:51:13,599
Speaker 8: second goal as a Korean defender headed the ball back

2219
01:51:13,760 --> 01:51:16,160
Speaker 8: almost into her own net, it went up over the top.

2220
01:51:16,200 --> 01:51:19,000
Speaker 8: So one nothing Morocco early. The second game on Fox

2221
01:51:19,040 --> 01:51:23,240
Speaker 8: will be New Zealand hosting Switzerland three am Eastern time.

2222
01:51:23,280 --> 01:51:27,559
Speaker 8: The Americans next game is late Monday against Portugal, while

2223
01:51:27,680 --> 01:51:31,639
Speaker 8: Netherlands late Monday gets to play last place Vietnam. Previous game,

2224
01:51:31,680 --> 01:51:34,519
Speaker 8: the US only tied Netherlands one to one, so the

2225
01:51:34,560 --> 01:51:37,479
Speaker 8: group is hardly wrapped up at this point. The US

2226
01:51:37,600 --> 01:51:40,479
Speaker 8: must win or tie to advance out of the group.

2227
01:51:40,560 --> 01:51:43,519
Speaker 8: A loss to Portugal likely eliminates the US.

2228
01:51:43,800 --> 01:51:44,000
Speaker 7: Now.

2229
01:51:44,040 --> 01:51:46,439
Speaker 8: Granted, Portugal is not ranked in the top twenty, but

2230
01:51:46,479 --> 01:51:49,200
Speaker 8: the American offense hasn't been much to write home about

2231
01:51:49,240 --> 01:51:52,479
Speaker 8: for months now. While England has a lot of injured players,

2232
01:51:52,520 --> 01:51:56,080
Speaker 8: the US has five injured players they're missing for this tournament.

2233
01:51:56,120 --> 01:51:58,840
Speaker 8: Four of them are scorers, including Mallory Swanson with a

2234
01:51:58,920 --> 01:52:02,040
Speaker 8: knee injury. For those who recognized the last name, yes,

2235
01:52:02,120 --> 01:52:05,559
Speaker 8: Dansby Swanson, her husband the Braves World Series shortstop a

2236
01:52:05,560 --> 01:52:08,080
Speaker 8: couple of years ago. By the way, US women's last

2237
01:52:08,120 --> 01:52:11,680
Speaker 8: game drew nearly six and a half million viewers to

2238
01:52:11,760 --> 01:52:16,360
Speaker 8: Fox TV, more than the combined audience of ABCNBC and

2239
01:52:16,439 --> 01:52:19,479
Speaker 8: CBS that night. It was the largest ever audience for

2240
01:52:19,520 --> 01:52:21,760
Speaker 8: a group stage match. It peaked at about eight and

2241
01:52:21,800 --> 01:52:24,800
Speaker 8: a half million viewers late in the game. Can the

2242
01:52:24,840 --> 01:52:28,280
Speaker 8: Americans advance? There's a huge advantage to winning your group,

2243
01:52:28,320 --> 01:52:30,639
Speaker 8: at least on paper. Not only good for US because

2244
01:52:30,680 --> 01:52:33,680
Speaker 8: then they'll get a little more normal start times for

2245
01:52:33,760 --> 01:52:35,960
Speaker 8: the US time zones in the next game or two,

2246
01:52:36,080 --> 01:52:38,879
Speaker 8: but the winner of the Americans group could be facing

2247
01:52:38,960 --> 01:52:41,639
Speaker 8: Italy in the round of sixteen, and then maybe facing

2248
01:52:41,680 --> 01:52:46,280
Speaker 8: Spain or Japan in a quarterfinal at the Women's World Cup.

2249
01:52:46,479 --> 01:52:49,719
Speaker 8: Don't forget FS one has two games overnight as well,

2250
01:52:49,720 --> 01:52:52,960
Speaker 8: including Germany at five thirty am Eastern time on FS

2251
01:52:53,040 --> 01:52:57,200
Speaker 8: one against Columbia. US women's record so far this year, well,

2252
01:52:57,240 --> 01:53:00,599
Speaker 8: it was nine to oh, outscoring opponents twenty two to one,

2253
01:53:00,680 --> 01:53:04,960
Speaker 8: but just a one to one final against Netherland's last game. Well,

2254
01:53:05,080 --> 01:53:07,960
Speaker 8: Ronald Acunya in the news not only for himself, but

2255
01:53:08,040 --> 01:53:11,240
Speaker 8: because of that trade with the Mets. Tonight, the Texas

2256
01:53:11,360 --> 01:53:14,680
Speaker 8: Rangers deal one of their top prospects, double a shortstop,

2257
01:53:14,800 --> 01:53:19,719
Speaker 8: luisn hel Acunya, two Texas to acquire pitcher Max Scherzer

2258
01:53:19,800 --> 01:53:22,040
Speaker 8: from the Mets, who waived his no trade clause. The

2259
01:53:22,040 --> 01:53:25,080
Speaker 8: Mets also give millions to Texas to help pay him.

2260
01:53:25,479 --> 01:53:28,960
Speaker 8: As far as the prospect, Luis on hell Acunya is

2261
01:53:29,000 --> 01:53:32,240
Speaker 8: twenty one years old, brother of the Brave Star. He's

2262
01:53:32,240 --> 01:53:34,559
Speaker 8: batting three point fifteen in the miners this year with

2263
01:53:34,640 --> 01:53:37,919
Speaker 8: over forty stolen bases. Last season, he had forty steals

2264
01:53:37,960 --> 01:53:41,200
Speaker 8: and batted two seventy seven. Schurzer still had a player

2265
01:53:41,240 --> 01:53:44,160
Speaker 8: option for next year. He has opted in with Texas,

2266
01:53:44,479 --> 01:53:46,720
Speaker 8: so the Rangers. Now, yes, they give up one of

2267
01:53:46,720 --> 01:53:49,679
Speaker 8: their best prospects, but they quote only have to pay

2268
01:53:49,720 --> 01:53:52,479
Speaker 8: Scherzer about twenty two million dollars for the next year

2269
01:53:52,479 --> 01:53:54,800
Speaker 8: and a half, while the Mets have to pay over

2270
01:53:54,880 --> 01:53:59,040
Speaker 8: thirty five million dollars just to get rid of him. Essentially,

2271
01:54:00,000 --> 01:54:03,519
Speaker 8: Accunya had a leadoff single first inning here today and

2272
01:54:03,560 --> 01:54:06,719
Speaker 8: then he picked up his MLB leading fiftieth stolen base

2273
01:54:06,920 --> 01:54:10,799
Speaker 8: of the season and then quickly scored. It's about twenty

2274
01:54:10,840 --> 01:54:13,800
Speaker 8: steals ahead of number two. Whoever's number two on the

2275
01:54:13,920 --> 01:54:16,640
Speaker 8: National league stolen base list, and the guy who's been

2276
01:54:16,720 --> 01:54:19,920
Speaker 8: leading the American League in steals stuck on around forty

2277
01:54:19,960 --> 01:54:22,479
Speaker 8: because he's been on the injured list. It's just crazy

2278
01:54:22,560 --> 01:54:24,559
Speaker 8: how good this guy has been. And by the way,

2279
01:54:24,600 --> 01:54:27,599
Speaker 8: tonight he did homer as well, his twenty fourth of

2280
01:54:27,640 --> 01:54:30,360
Speaker 8: the season. He had three hits. He's batting three thirty three.

2281
01:54:30,880 --> 01:54:35,160
Speaker 8: Braves led a first place Milwaukee team eleven to one

2282
01:54:35,360 --> 01:54:39,640
Speaker 8: after seven innings, eleven to five the final marcel Osuda

2283
01:54:39,720 --> 01:54:42,640
Speaker 8: with two homers. Brave scored six runs in the bottom

2284
01:54:42,680 --> 01:54:44,920
Speaker 8: of the first the loss to Julio Tehron. The Braves

2285
01:54:44,960 --> 01:54:48,800
Speaker 8: winning pitcher Bryce Elder is eight and two seven innings, just.

2286
01:54:48,760 --> 01:54:49,680
Speaker 2: One run alowed.

2287
01:54:49,720 --> 01:54:52,280
Speaker 8: I mentioned the Brewers are in first, there's still just

2288
01:54:52,320 --> 01:54:55,200
Speaker 8: a half game over the Cincinnati Reds. Red's had the

2289
01:54:55,280 --> 01:54:58,400
Speaker 8: late game at Dodger Stadium and somehow LA won three

2290
01:54:58,440 --> 01:55:01,879
Speaker 8: to two, even though the Dodgers only had two hits

2291
01:55:01,920 --> 01:55:04,920
Speaker 8: in the whole game, but they were two Max Munsey

2292
01:55:05,040 --> 01:55:09,880
Speaker 8: home runs. He has twenty seven homers seventy RBIs, even

2293
01:55:09,920 --> 01:55:13,440
Speaker 8: though Munsey is batting one ninety nine this season. And

2294
01:55:13,520 --> 01:55:16,280
Speaker 8: an odd item from stats inc that Max Munsey is

2295
01:55:16,400 --> 01:55:19,000
Speaker 8: the only MLB player in the modern era to do

2296
01:55:19,080 --> 01:55:22,560
Speaker 8: what he did tonight, two tie breaking homers in the game,

2297
01:55:22,680 --> 01:55:25,720
Speaker 8: and they wound up his team's only two hits of

2298
01:55:25,760 --> 01:55:29,200
Speaker 8: the game. And the great researcher Sarah Langs had this

2299
01:55:29,400 --> 01:55:31,880
Speaker 8: on the Braves first inning. I mentioned the early start

2300
01:55:31,920 --> 01:55:35,280
Speaker 8: they had and eventually pounded Milwaukee. The Braves have scored

2301
01:55:35,320 --> 01:55:38,680
Speaker 8: over one hundred runs already just in first innings, the

2302
01:55:38,720 --> 01:55:42,680
Speaker 8: most of any team in any inning this Major League season.

2303
01:55:43,000 --> 01:55:46,680
Speaker 8: Braves have over thirty homers in first innings, the most

2304
01:55:46,800 --> 01:55:50,320
Speaker 8: of any team in any inning this year. The Braves

2305
01:55:50,360 --> 01:55:52,440
Speaker 8: have close to one hundred and fifty hits in the

2306
01:55:52,480 --> 01:55:57,160
Speaker 8: first innings, most of any team in any inning, and finally,

2307
01:55:57,240 --> 01:55:59,960
Speaker 8: the run differential in first innings it's a plus seven

2308
01:56:00,320 --> 01:56:04,520
Speaker 8: one now twenty runs better than any other team in

2309
01:56:04,680 --> 01:56:09,440
Speaker 8: any inning this season. Atlantis record is sixty six and

2310
01:56:09,560 --> 01:56:13,120
Speaker 8: thirty six. Meanwhile, the Oakland A's have been horrible this year,

2311
01:56:13,200 --> 01:56:16,040
Speaker 8: but guess what They're playing at Coursefield all weekend and

2312
01:56:16,080 --> 01:56:19,720
Speaker 8: the offense has come alive. The Oakland a's worst in

2313
01:56:19,760 --> 01:56:23,080
Speaker 8: the AL beat Colorado worst in the NL. Eleven to

2314
01:56:23,080 --> 01:56:25,680
Speaker 8: three was tonight's final, and the A's record coming in

2315
01:56:25,880 --> 01:56:29,000
Speaker 8: was twenty nine and seventy six. Just for the record

2316
01:56:29,400 --> 01:56:31,960
Speaker 8: losing pitcher for the Rockies, Chris flex In is zero

2317
01:56:32,000 --> 01:56:34,520
Speaker 8: to five with an ERA now over eight. He was

2318
01:56:34,520 --> 01:56:37,520
Speaker 8: down six to nothing in the second inning to the A's.

2319
01:56:38,160 --> 01:56:41,440
Speaker 8: Kansas City's record coming in was thirty and seventy five.

2320
01:56:41,920 --> 01:56:44,920
Speaker 8: They got a ten to seven win over first place Minnesota.

2321
01:56:45,040 --> 01:56:48,680
Speaker 8: The Royals starting pitcher tonight, Jordan Lyles, was one and twelve.

2322
01:56:49,160 --> 01:56:51,600
Speaker 8: He got the win after five innings of work lowered

2323
01:56:51,600 --> 01:56:55,680
Speaker 8: his ERA to six point one five. Bobby Wit Bobby

2324
01:56:55,720 --> 01:56:59,120
Speaker 8: Witt Junior I should say four for five, including a homer,

2325
01:56:59,200 --> 01:57:02,800
Speaker 8: same as last night, in the AL Central, someone's gonna

2326
01:57:02,800 --> 01:57:05,080
Speaker 8: have to win. Someone from that division is going to

2327
01:57:05,120 --> 01:57:08,080
Speaker 8: the postseason. The Twins have a record of fifty four

2328
01:57:08,120 --> 01:57:11,200
Speaker 8: and fifty two after this l this evening, the Twins

2329
01:57:11,240 --> 01:57:13,760
Speaker 8: are still a game and a half over the Cleveland Guardians,

2330
01:57:13,760 --> 01:57:16,240
Speaker 8: who lost seven to two at the White Sox. White

2331
01:57:16,280 --> 01:57:19,480
Speaker 8: Sox had lost six straight until last night's shutout victory.

2332
01:57:19,920 --> 01:57:22,760
Speaker 8: Philadelphia lost a close one at Pittsburgh seven to six,

2333
01:57:22,800 --> 01:57:24,600
Speaker 8: and the top of the ninth this evening, the Phillies

2334
01:57:24,640 --> 01:57:27,240
Speaker 8: had men at first and third with one out and JT.

2335
01:57:27,440 --> 01:57:31,080
Speaker 8: Real Mounto grounded into a double play to end the game.

2336
01:57:31,240 --> 01:57:34,280
Speaker 8: The loss to Aaron Nola show. Heyotani did play for

2337
01:57:34,320 --> 01:57:37,280
Speaker 8: the Angels today. They lost at Toronto again, six to one,

2338
01:57:37,400 --> 01:57:40,360
Speaker 8: so quickly the Halos now trailed the final AL Wild

2339
01:57:40,440 --> 01:57:43,480
Speaker 8: card by five games. Otani did have a double and

2340
01:57:43,560 --> 01:57:46,440
Speaker 8: two walks. He's batting three oh two. He had left

2341
01:57:46,520 --> 01:57:49,200
Speaker 8: yesterday's game with leg cramps. Somebody else batted in the

2342
01:57:49,280 --> 01:57:52,320
Speaker 8: ninth inning with bases loaded Thursday. Remember he had that

2343
01:57:52,400 --> 01:57:55,560
Speaker 8: complete game one hitter in Game one, played his DH

2344
01:57:55,640 --> 01:57:57,720
Speaker 8: in Game two and hit a couple homers, but left

2345
01:57:57,720 --> 01:58:00,360
Speaker 8: that game cramping on the left side played the whole game.

2346
01:58:00,400 --> 01:58:03,720
Speaker 8: Today a loss, Jay's closer Jordan Romano goes on the

2347
01:58:03,760 --> 01:58:07,240
Speaker 8: injured list with a bad bag. Angels offense struck out

2348
01:58:07,280 --> 01:58:11,919
Speaker 8: fifteen times in today's loss. San Diego shut out Texas

2349
01:58:11,960 --> 01:58:14,920
Speaker 8: for nothing. The Rangers offense went four for thirty one

2350
01:58:15,080 --> 01:58:18,840
Speaker 8: with fourteen strikeouts. You Darvish, who was just seven and

2351
01:58:18,960 --> 01:58:21,200
Speaker 8: seven this year, got the win four runs in the

2352
01:58:21,240 --> 01:58:24,680
Speaker 8: second inning did the trick, so Padres win. Arizona won

2353
01:58:24,720 --> 01:58:26,200
Speaker 8: with a run on the bottom of the eighth, four

2354
01:58:26,200 --> 01:58:28,240
Speaker 8: to three over Seattle. And I don't know if you

2355
01:58:28,240 --> 01:58:30,480
Speaker 8: saw the Fox TV game for most of the country.

2356
01:58:30,560 --> 01:58:33,760
Speaker 8: San Francisco gave up two runs in the top of

2357
01:58:33,800 --> 01:58:36,160
Speaker 8: the ninth, their closer did to Boston, so the game

2358
01:58:36,240 --> 01:58:39,160
Speaker 8: was tied two to Kenley Jansen, the closer for the

2359
01:58:39,160 --> 01:58:43,680
Speaker 8: Red Sox, comes on throws one pitch a fastball that

2360
01:58:43,760 --> 01:58:46,920
Speaker 8: didn't move in the least except out to left field

2361
01:58:46,920 --> 01:58:49,080
Speaker 8: to end the game. Bottom of the ninth solo homer

2362
01:58:49,120 --> 01:58:51,840
Speaker 8: for JD. Davis San Francisco three two, the final that

2363
01:58:51,960 --> 01:58:54,120
Speaker 8: ends the Red Sox five game winning streak.

2364
01:58:54,640 --> 01:58:56,880
Speaker 2: Thank you very much to Seger. Appreciate all that info.

2365
01:58:57,000 --> 01:59:00,120
Speaker 2: By the way, a little update from Vegas. Apparently there

2366
01:59:00,240 --> 01:59:04,720
Speaker 2: is a rematch clause in error Errol Spence's contract. Michael Benson,

2367
01:59:04,840 --> 01:59:08,440
Speaker 2: who is a pretty prominent boxing voice, tweets that Aerol

2368
01:59:08,520 --> 01:59:12,680
Speaker 2: Spence has confirmed he will activate his rematch clause and

2369
01:59:12,720 --> 01:59:15,360
Speaker 2: apparently there will be a second of these fights, although

2370
01:59:15,400 --> 01:59:17,600
Speaker 2: most people that have the chance to watch it say

2371
01:59:17,760 --> 01:59:20,400
Speaker 2: we don't need a second one regardless. Fox Sports Radio

2388
02:00:15,320 --> 02:00:18,080
Speaker 2: know this. By the way, I should mention, we've talked

2389
02:00:18,080 --> 02:00:20,720
Speaker 2: a ton of NFL this tonight, so if you missed

2390
02:00:20,760 --> 02:00:22,800
Speaker 2: any of it. We talked to Aaron Rodgers giving back money.

2391
02:00:22,800 --> 02:00:26,960
Speaker 2: We talked Jonathan Taylor demanding a trade, Jim Mersey saying

2392
02:00:26,960 --> 02:00:30,000
Speaker 2: we're not trading you. We've talked all sorts of things NFL,

2393
02:00:30,080 --> 02:00:32,480
Speaker 2: Jalen Ramsey's injury, what it means for the Dolphins. If

2394
02:00:32,520 --> 02:00:34,440
Speaker 2: you missed any of it, make sure to download the podcast,

2395
02:00:34,480 --> 02:00:37,720
Speaker 2: which will be available shortly after the show. But I do,

2396
02:00:37,840 --> 02:00:40,360
Speaker 2: Jason want to get to one NBA story from this

2397
02:00:40,440 --> 02:00:44,320
Speaker 2: week because it is a big one literally and figuratively

2398
02:00:44,840 --> 02:00:47,520
Speaker 2: as Jalen Brown. Not sure if you had this on

2399
02:00:47,560 --> 02:00:49,840
Speaker 2: your big ocar, Jason, but Jalen Brown is now the

2400
02:00:49,920 --> 02:00:53,960
Speaker 2: highest paid player in the NBA five year, three hundred

2401
02:00:54,080 --> 02:00:59,480
Speaker 2: and four million dollar extension that Jalen Brown signs not

2402
02:00:59,520 --> 02:01:04,200
Speaker 2: great at but that equates to about sixty million dollars

2403
02:01:04,240 --> 02:01:08,200
Speaker 2: a year over the life of the contracts. So credit

2404
02:01:08,280 --> 02:01:11,200
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown. I guess you know, good for him. You know, listen,

2405
02:01:11,320 --> 02:01:13,800
Speaker 2: you know you're you're worth what somebody is willing to

2406
02:01:13,800 --> 02:01:17,120
Speaker 2: spend on you. But this is also a guy that

2407
02:01:17,200 --> 02:01:20,680
Speaker 2: while very good. You know, let me say this, Jason,

2408
02:01:20,680 --> 02:01:23,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna toss it back to you. But I get

2409
02:01:23,600 --> 02:01:24,440
Speaker 2: how this works.

2410
02:01:25,360 --> 02:01:25,520
Speaker 3: You know.

2411
02:01:25,560 --> 02:01:28,800
Speaker 2: It's almost like being an NFL quarterback. When you're the

2412
02:01:28,840 --> 02:01:31,240
Speaker 2: guy that's up for the extension, you're going to be

2413
02:01:31,280 --> 02:01:33,880
Speaker 2: the highest paid player for the time being. So I

2414
02:01:33,920 --> 02:01:36,400
Speaker 2: get why this is the way it is. I don't

2415
02:01:36,400 --> 02:01:38,160
Speaker 2: think anybody thinks he's the best player in the league.

2416
02:01:38,160 --> 02:01:39,960
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody thinks he's the best player on

2417
02:01:40,000 --> 02:01:42,880
Speaker 2: his team. But Jalen Brown, for the time being, is

2418
02:01:42,920 --> 02:01:44,640
Speaker 2: now the highest paid player in the NBA.

2419
02:01:44,880 --> 02:01:47,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean right, nobody thinks he's the best player

2420
02:01:47,160 --> 02:01:50,480
Speaker 3: in the league. Well, most people probably don't think he's

2421
02:01:50,520 --> 02:01:55,960
Speaker 3: a top fifteen player in the league. But he's still

2422
02:01:56,000 --> 02:01:58,880
Speaker 3: getting paid like it. And this was his time and

2423
02:01:59,000 --> 02:02:04,080
Speaker 3: I think that, you know, five year, three h four, yeesh.

2424
02:02:04,120 --> 02:02:05,560
Speaker 3: I mean I look at that. It was just like

2425
02:02:05,640 --> 02:02:09,280
Speaker 3: that's just man. I remember I was a guy saying

2426
02:02:09,800 --> 02:02:13,360
Speaker 3: I would be trying to get out from underneath Jaywen

2427
02:02:13,400 --> 02:02:15,320
Speaker 3: Brown if I were the Celtics, because I just don't

2428
02:02:15,360 --> 02:02:18,920
Speaker 3: like the mix of him and Tatum together being strong

2429
02:02:19,040 --> 02:02:23,240
Speaker 3: enough to win a championship. But because you know, this

2430
02:02:23,360 --> 02:02:25,680
Speaker 3: is not a Jokic, it's not a Yiannis, it's not

2431
02:02:25,760 --> 02:02:29,720
Speaker 3: all of those kinds of things. But there is that

2432
02:02:29,800 --> 02:02:31,800
Speaker 3: talk that this is kind of one of those deals

2433
02:02:31,800 --> 02:02:33,800
Speaker 3: where in a few years it'll look like a bargain.

2434
02:02:34,520 --> 02:02:37,400
Speaker 3: It won't look the same all of those things. So

2435
02:02:37,480 --> 02:02:40,040
Speaker 3: what they did make sense, I don't know, We'll see.

2436
02:02:40,080 --> 02:02:43,600
Speaker 3: I don't think this wins them a championship. Certainly he's

2437
02:02:43,640 --> 02:02:46,520
Speaker 3: a really good player, not suggesting that, but he can

2438
02:02:46,600 --> 02:02:51,480
Speaker 3: be a liability defensively. He could be streaky offensively. And again,

2439
02:02:51,600 --> 02:02:53,879
Speaker 3: I still think that he likes to think of himself

2440
02:02:53,920 --> 02:02:57,760
Speaker 3: as the guy, when if Tatum's not the guy, they're

2441
02:02:57,760 --> 02:03:00,440
Speaker 3: not gonna win a title. It has to be on

2442
02:03:00,560 --> 02:03:04,400
Speaker 3: Tatum's shoulders to me, and I've seen enough from the

2443
02:03:04,440 --> 02:03:07,320
Speaker 3: two of those guys to think that they don't necessarily

2444
02:03:07,440 --> 02:03:09,360
Speaker 3: feed off each other in the way that I would

2445
02:03:09,440 --> 02:03:12,720
Speaker 3: want to see if I were a Boston fan going forward.

2446
02:03:13,040 --> 02:03:15,440
Speaker 3: But they have won a lot of games together and

2447
02:03:15,480 --> 02:03:18,880
Speaker 3: they've been on the doorstep of championships together, so you

2448
02:03:18,920 --> 02:03:21,000
Speaker 3: could do a lot worse than this. I just look

2449
02:03:21,040 --> 02:03:23,760
Speaker 3: at Jalen Brown. It's just like when I see the biggest,

2450
02:03:24,280 --> 02:03:28,080
Speaker 3: most the fully guaranteed money, and the biggest contract in

2451
02:03:28,120 --> 02:03:29,920
Speaker 3: the history of the NBA and all these things, and

2452
02:03:30,040 --> 02:03:34,720
Speaker 3: I see Jalen Brown. I'm just like sports man and

2453
02:03:34,800 --> 02:03:37,760
Speaker 3: contracts in the way. Sometimes your timing is just right,

2454
02:03:37,840 --> 02:03:39,560
Speaker 3: and Jalen Brown's timing was right.

2455
02:03:39,920 --> 02:03:42,640
Speaker 2: Zeroed out about that, and I'm a little bit torn

2456
02:03:42,720 --> 02:03:46,400
Speaker 2: because I think there's a couple of things here. One again,

2457
02:03:46,680 --> 02:03:49,840
Speaker 2: timing was just right. It's not his fault. Whatever, go

2458
02:03:49,880 --> 02:03:52,960
Speaker 2: get your money. Two. Like, I will say this, so

2459
02:03:53,080 --> 02:03:55,200
Speaker 2: I'm not a Jalen Brown guy. I am with you.

2460
02:03:55,280 --> 02:03:57,440
Speaker 2: I would not rank him as one of the fifteen

2461
02:03:57,480 --> 02:04:00,440
Speaker 2: best players in the NBA. And I think when you're

2462
02:04:00,440 --> 02:04:03,560
Speaker 2: looking at number two's on certain teams, you know, I

2463
02:04:03,560 --> 02:04:05,320
Speaker 2: want to take them over Jamal Murray, who's a clear

2464
02:04:05,400 --> 02:04:07,120
Speaker 2: number two in Denver. I want to take him over

2465
02:04:07,240 --> 02:04:09,800
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis or Lebron James, depending on who you consider

2466
02:04:09,840 --> 02:04:12,840
Speaker 2: to be the number two with the Lakers. You know,

2467
02:04:12,960 --> 02:04:15,120
Speaker 2: you go on and on down the list. But I'll

2468
02:04:15,160 --> 02:04:19,200
Speaker 2: also say, like, like, well, I'm not a Jalen Brown guy.

2469
02:04:19,240 --> 02:04:21,960
Speaker 2: It is sort of worth noting that they were a

2470
02:04:21,960 --> 02:04:24,400
Speaker 2: game away from going to back to back NBA Finals

2471
02:04:25,640 --> 02:04:27,280
Speaker 2: and they would have lost, and it would have been

2472
02:04:27,320 --> 02:04:29,400
Speaker 2: embarrassing and whatever. It would have been a second straight

2473
02:04:29,440 --> 02:04:31,520
Speaker 2: year where they probably wouldn't have been very competitive in

2474
02:04:31,560 --> 02:04:35,000
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals. But I do wonder like at that point,

2475
02:04:35,120 --> 02:04:38,280
Speaker 2: nobody's talking about breaking them up, and you know, I

2476
02:04:38,320 --> 02:04:40,480
Speaker 2: don't think there's any serious talk about breaking them up

2477
02:04:40,520 --> 02:04:43,240
Speaker 2: this offseason either. On the flip side, and I saw

2478
02:04:43,280 --> 02:04:45,080
Speaker 2: some people say this, and I do think there is

2479
02:04:45,120 --> 02:04:47,800
Speaker 2: some validity to this part of it, which is that

2480
02:04:48,240 --> 02:04:51,000
Speaker 2: you know, yes, it's it's a lot of money, and yes,

2481
02:04:51,000 --> 02:04:54,360
Speaker 2: it's whatever. But the flip side is if we know

2482
02:04:54,560 --> 02:04:57,400
Speaker 2: that it's probably not good enough to win a championship,

2483
02:04:57,800 --> 02:04:59,680
Speaker 2: and you know, you're kind of backed into the corner

2484
02:04:59,680 --> 02:05:02,080
Speaker 2: because obviously not gonna let him walk. But this was

2485
02:05:02,120 --> 02:05:05,240
Speaker 2: also a guy that you seemingly were uninterested in trading

2486
02:05:05,280 --> 02:05:07,680
Speaker 2: in any type of trade scenario over the last couple

2487
02:05:07,640 --> 02:05:11,000
Speaker 2: of years, whether it was for a Kevin Durant last

2488
02:05:11,040 --> 02:05:14,480
Speaker 2: offseason when he demanded that first trade. You know, fill

2489
02:05:14,520 --> 02:05:16,440
Speaker 2: in the blank the other guys that have become available.

2490
02:05:16,560 --> 02:05:19,520
Speaker 2: So it's it's one of those like I see both sides.

2491
02:05:19,600 --> 02:05:21,600
Speaker 2: Is like, I know, it's easy to sit there and

2492
02:05:21,640 --> 02:05:25,120
Speaker 2: say Jaylen Brown is not deserving of this money, but

2493
02:05:25,200 --> 02:05:27,360
Speaker 2: they were a game away from the NBA Finals. But

2494
02:05:27,440 --> 02:05:31,040
Speaker 2: on the flip side, NBA Finals for a second straight year.

2495
02:05:32,040 --> 02:05:35,080
Speaker 2: On the flip side, you know, I don't know. I

2496
02:05:35,200 --> 02:05:38,480
Speaker 2: just if if you knew this contract was coming up,

2497
02:05:38,480 --> 02:05:40,280
Speaker 2: you knew you were gonna give it to him. There

2498
02:05:40,360 --> 02:05:43,480
Speaker 2: were opportunities to turn him into somebody that might actually

2499
02:05:43,520 --> 02:05:46,640
Speaker 2: be worth that much money again, namely Kevin Durant. So

2500
02:05:47,240 --> 02:05:49,200
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's one where I sort of see

2501
02:05:49,200 --> 02:05:53,040
Speaker 2: both sides. I guess there was no real alternative once

2502
02:05:53,080 --> 02:05:55,680
Speaker 2: you went into the offseason with this hanging over your head.

2503
02:05:56,080 --> 02:05:58,360
Speaker 2: But it's one that you know, listen, if it doesn't

2504
02:05:58,400 --> 02:06:01,920
Speaker 2: work out, you're owing. Even if the salary cap goes

2505
02:06:02,000 --> 02:06:04,520
Speaker 2: up or whatever. You owe a lot of money to

2506
02:06:04,720 --> 02:06:07,200
Speaker 2: two guys for the very foreseeable future.

2507
02:06:07,600 --> 02:06:12,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. We're just not gonna know how good

2508
02:06:12,520 --> 02:06:15,640
Speaker 3: this deal was for a few years. My initial reaction

2509
02:06:15,800 --> 02:06:17,720
Speaker 3: was you've got to be kidding me. But then you

2510
02:06:18,040 --> 02:06:20,600
Speaker 3: have to back away from it. Think about it for

2511
02:06:20,640 --> 02:06:24,120
Speaker 3: a second, think about the future, Think about where money

2512
02:06:24,240 --> 02:06:26,760
Speaker 3: is going to be NBA wise in a couple of years.

2513
02:06:27,320 --> 02:06:30,480
Speaker 3: What's this deal going to look like then, And what

2514
02:06:30,680 --> 02:06:34,880
Speaker 3: exactly were the Celtic's gonna do if Jaien Brown was

2515
02:06:34,920 --> 02:06:38,080
Speaker 3: not a part of their future. There wasn't much out

2516
02:06:38,120 --> 02:06:41,280
Speaker 3: there for them to go and pull off that was

2517
02:06:41,320 --> 02:06:43,280
Speaker 3: going to keep them in the mix. And if you're

2518
02:06:43,320 --> 02:06:45,920
Speaker 3: this close to a title, I don't know that you

2519
02:06:46,040 --> 02:06:48,960
Speaker 3: cut bait at this point when you don't really have

2520
02:06:49,000 --> 02:06:51,240
Speaker 3: a backup plan. And I think that's the other thing

2521
02:06:51,240 --> 02:06:53,640
Speaker 3: for Jalen Brown is he could sit down or his

2522
02:06:53,720 --> 02:06:57,360
Speaker 3: representation could sit down with Brad Stevens and with the

2523
02:06:57,360 --> 02:07:00,720
Speaker 3: Celtics brain trust and just be like, so, so, you're

2524
02:07:00,760 --> 02:07:02,720
Speaker 3: not gonna go with Jalen, So what exactly are you

2525
02:07:02,760 --> 02:07:06,920
Speaker 3: planning on doing going back to being a mediocre franchise again,

2526
02:07:07,560 --> 02:07:10,200
Speaker 3: because that's kind of the only other option out there

2527
02:07:10,480 --> 02:07:12,760
Speaker 3: unless you want to bring in a mal content and

2528
02:07:12,840 --> 02:07:15,120
Speaker 3: you've already been down that road in the last few years,

2529
02:07:15,120 --> 02:07:16,840
Speaker 3: in fact, with one of the guys that maybe you

2530
02:07:16,880 --> 02:07:19,520
Speaker 3: could have tried to get in Kyrie Irving this you're

2531
02:07:19,560 --> 02:07:22,040
Speaker 3: not gonna want, so I think that's it. I just

2532
02:07:22,040 --> 02:07:25,440
Speaker 3: think that this was a perfect storm for Jalen Brown

2533
02:07:25,560 --> 02:07:28,600
Speaker 3: to get this deal, and at the same time, maybe

2534
02:07:28,600 --> 02:07:32,640
Speaker 3: it's the best possible short term fix, at least for

2535
02:07:32,760 --> 02:07:34,480
Speaker 3: right now for the Celtics.

2536
02:07:34,880 --> 02:07:38,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be interesting to see because I think what's

2537
02:07:38,360 --> 02:07:41,680
Speaker 2: interesting is now, I mean, you're very much locked into

2538
02:07:41,680 --> 02:07:44,200
Speaker 2: these two guys and they have to figure out a

2539
02:07:44,240 --> 02:07:46,680
Speaker 2: way to make it work, and so it's hard. Like

2540
02:07:47,000 --> 02:07:50,640
Speaker 2: it's interesting because again, I don't think there was really

2541
02:07:50,680 --> 02:07:55,280
Speaker 2: an alternative unless you, you know, traded them for Dame

2542
02:07:55,320 --> 02:07:57,800
Speaker 2: Liard or something. But why I bring it up is

2543
02:07:57,840 --> 02:08:02,120
Speaker 2: because it's hard to say whether what we think of

2544
02:08:02,160 --> 02:08:04,200
Speaker 2: it because you're you're locked in with these two guys.

2545
02:08:04,280 --> 02:08:06,480
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to be very clever on how you

2546
02:08:06,520 --> 02:08:11,000
Speaker 2: piece a roster around them together. But at the same time,

2547
02:08:11,080 --> 02:08:13,880
Speaker 2: it's like the East does feel a little up in

2548
02:08:13,920 --> 02:08:16,080
Speaker 2: the air right now, right like we don't know what's

2549
02:08:16,120 --> 02:08:18,920
Speaker 2: happening with the Miami Heat. Are they going to be

2550
02:08:18,960 --> 02:08:21,360
Speaker 2: able to get Damian Lillard. We saw the report this

2551
02:08:21,400 --> 02:08:25,440
Speaker 2: week about you know, the the you know, the setup

2552
02:08:25,480 --> 02:08:28,640
Speaker 2: with the Miami Heat where Damian Lillard said he only

2553
02:08:28,640 --> 02:08:30,640
Speaker 2: wanted to play with them. The NBA was not happy

2554
02:08:30,680 --> 02:08:33,320
Speaker 2: about that. But do the Heat get Dame Lillard? Even

2555
02:08:33,360 --> 02:08:36,120
Speaker 2: if they do, You're talking about two stars on that

2556
02:08:36,160 --> 02:08:40,200
Speaker 2: team very much in the twilight of their primes, and

2557
02:08:40,240 --> 02:08:42,560
Speaker 2: they probably have a year or two to really kind

2558
02:08:42,560 --> 02:08:45,200
Speaker 2: of hit that and make it work. The Milwaukee Bucks

2559
02:08:45,240 --> 02:08:48,840
Speaker 2: seem uncertain going forward. The Philadelphia seventy six er certainly are.

2560
02:08:49,600 --> 02:08:51,560
Speaker 2: And so maybe that's part of this too, Jason, is

2561
02:08:52,520 --> 02:08:56,280
Speaker 2: it's a hedge on Hey, these two might not be perfect,

2562
02:08:56,880 --> 02:08:58,920
Speaker 2: but who's got a two that's better than them?

2563
02:08:59,160 --> 02:08:59,960
Speaker 3: That are? You know?

2564
02:09:00,000 --> 02:09:02,560
Speaker 2: So it's an interesting deal because, like, I just don't

2565
02:09:02,600 --> 02:09:05,200
Speaker 2: feel like you can sit here and definitively say this

2566
02:09:05,240 --> 02:09:07,040
Speaker 2: is a winner or loss until we have a better

2567
02:09:07,080 --> 02:09:09,120
Speaker 2: feel for what the rest of the East looks like,

2568
02:09:09,480 --> 02:09:11,200
Speaker 2: and even the top teams in the East have a

2569
02:09:11,240 --> 02:09:12,160
Speaker 2: lot of questions right now.

2570
02:09:12,320 --> 02:09:14,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's I think that's right. I just

2571
02:09:14,280 --> 02:09:16,960
Speaker 3: think that I think it's a bet you might as

2572
02:09:16,960 --> 02:09:20,040
Speaker 3: well make because there wasn't a better one out there,

2573
02:09:20,120 --> 02:09:22,839
Speaker 3: and there's a lot of flaws to be found across

2574
02:09:22,920 --> 02:09:25,640
Speaker 3: the East. We're still there's still a couple of big

2575
02:09:25,720 --> 02:09:29,000
Speaker 3: names that are sitting there that maybe one of them

2576
02:09:29,000 --> 02:09:32,760
Speaker 3: finds its way to Miami. We'll find out, and then

2577
02:09:32,800 --> 02:09:34,760
Speaker 3: that could shift the balance of power a little bit.

2578
02:09:34,800 --> 02:09:37,040
Speaker 3: But you're still in the mix. Like if you're Boston,

2579
02:09:37,120 --> 02:09:41,120
Speaker 3: you have every reason to believe even moving Marcus Smart

2580
02:09:41,120 --> 02:09:45,720
Speaker 3: and go in the Christaps Porzengis route, losing Grant Williams

2581
02:09:45,760 --> 02:09:48,440
Speaker 3: some of the changes, you're gonna be a different looking

2582
02:09:48,480 --> 02:09:50,360
Speaker 3: team next year. But at the same time, you have

2583
02:09:50,480 --> 02:09:53,840
Speaker 3: every reason to think our chances of getting to the

2584
02:09:53,920 --> 02:09:57,920
Speaker 3: NBA Finals are still awfully good in the East because

2585
02:09:57,960 --> 02:10:00,400
Speaker 3: there are question marks surrounding us in all of the

2586
02:10:00,480 --> 02:10:05,000
Speaker 3: other contending teams outside of maybe Milwaukee, and even they

2587
02:10:05,040 --> 02:10:08,280
Speaker 3: could probably use a couple of other pieces to go

2588
02:10:08,320 --> 02:10:11,320
Speaker 3: alongside their superstars. So I think that you look at

2589
02:10:11,320 --> 02:10:12,840
Speaker 3: it from there and you just say, all right, I

2590
02:10:12,920 --> 02:10:15,920
Speaker 3: like our shot. I like even if I don't think

2591
02:10:16,400 --> 02:10:19,480
Speaker 3: this is the perfect mix. Maybe it doesn't have to

2592
02:10:19,480 --> 02:10:21,560
Speaker 3: be perfect, Maybe it just has to be good enough.

2593
02:10:22,200 --> 02:10:23,880
Speaker 2: Maybe it just has to be good enough. And we

2594
02:10:23,960 --> 02:10:27,440
Speaker 2: will see, because those two are not going anywhere as

2595
02:10:27,480 --> 02:10:29,920
Speaker 2: they are both making a significant amount of money. Again,

2596
02:10:30,040 --> 02:10:34,720
Speaker 2: A Jalen Brown extension five years three hundred and four million,

2597
02:10:35,160 --> 02:10:37,520
Speaker 2: and again we could be critical of the decision, but

2598
02:10:37,560 --> 02:10:40,040
Speaker 2: you're worth what somebody is willing to pay, and apparently

2599
02:10:40,120 --> 02:10:42,320
Speaker 2: the Celtics are willing to pay big money to keep

2600
02:10:42,360 --> 02:10:45,480
Speaker 2: the core of their team together. Fox Sports Radio Erra Torus,

Speaker 2: Bernie Frado Show. Bernie, let me start by asking you

2619
02:11:51,680 --> 02:11:53,800
Speaker 2: this man. You know, Vegas is such a big event

2620
02:11:53,880 --> 02:11:56,240
Speaker 2: town and you've had everything now, you'll have the super

2621
02:11:56,240 --> 02:12:01,680
Speaker 2: Bowl next year, you know, final fours coming, everything, the

2622
02:12:02,040 --> 02:12:04,400
Speaker 2: NBA playing tournament that none of us can figure out.

2623
02:12:04,440 --> 02:12:07,760
Speaker 2: But neither here nor there is there a different vibe

2624
02:12:07,960 --> 02:12:10,520
Speaker 2: in the air in the city the weekend of a

2625
02:12:10,520 --> 02:12:11,000
Speaker 2: big fight.

2626
02:12:11,040 --> 02:12:15,360
Speaker 7: Burn There's nothing like the vibe in the city when

2627
02:12:15,400 --> 02:12:18,560
Speaker 7: there's a big fight. It's a different vibe. You bring

2628
02:12:18,600 --> 02:12:21,480
Speaker 7: people from all around the world. You see more celebrities.

2629
02:12:22,240 --> 02:12:24,880
Speaker 7: And I heard you guys talking about Hearns Hagler. I

2630
02:12:24,920 --> 02:12:27,000
Speaker 7: actually saw that fight. It wasn't in Vegue, as it

2631
02:12:27,040 --> 02:12:29,680
Speaker 7: was here in Caesar's Palace. And I know this may

2632
02:12:29,720 --> 02:12:33,400
Speaker 7: sound crazy, but as crazy as the fight was tonight,

2633
02:12:33,800 --> 02:12:36,960
Speaker 7: this was a picnic Compared to Hearns Hagler. That first

2634
02:12:37,040 --> 02:12:39,680
Speaker 7: round was the greatest of all time, the most devastating

2635
02:12:39,720 --> 02:12:43,000
Speaker 7: of all time. Hagler actually broke his hand Both fighters

2636
02:12:43,040 --> 02:12:46,000
Speaker 7: combined to throw one hundred and sixty five total punches

2637
02:12:46,240 --> 02:12:49,720
Speaker 7: in one hundred and eighty seconds. Hagler connected on fifty,

2638
02:12:49,960 --> 02:12:53,320
Speaker 7: Hearns connected on fifty six. The whole fight only lasted

2639
02:12:53,360 --> 02:12:58,640
Speaker 7: seven minutes. Interestingly enough, Joan Rivers was ringside that night,

2640
02:12:58,920 --> 02:13:01,280
Speaker 7: first time she'd ever been a fight. She turned around

2641
02:13:01,280 --> 02:13:04,120
Speaker 7: after the first round and said, is it always like this?

2642
02:13:04,360 --> 02:13:06,720
Speaker 7: And they all said no, it.

2643
02:13:06,640 --> 02:13:08,720
Speaker 3: Was a war. Didn't know.

2644
02:13:08,760 --> 02:13:10,240
Speaker 2: We get a Joe Rivers reference?

2645
02:13:10,280 --> 02:13:13,240
Speaker 3: Is that? Yeah, that was not on That was definitely

2646
02:13:13,240 --> 02:13:15,640
Speaker 3: not on my Bernie Fratto Bengo car but it probably

2647
02:13:15,680 --> 02:13:20,640
Speaker 3: should have been. All right, Otani, we talked about him earlier,

2648
02:13:21,040 --> 02:13:25,120
Speaker 3: now that we know he's staying. Put your final thoughts, Well, you.

2649
02:13:25,120 --> 02:13:27,560
Speaker 7: Guys asked me last week if I thought he'd be traded,

2650
02:13:27,600 --> 02:13:30,280
Speaker 7: and I said no, eighty five percent. I really believed

2651
02:13:30,280 --> 02:13:33,440
Speaker 7: it was one hundred. But there were some offers trickly again,

2652
02:13:33,480 --> 02:13:36,240
Speaker 7: there were fairly tap it offers. But it turns out

2653
02:13:36,280 --> 02:13:38,200
Speaker 7: that Ardie Morina was never going to trade him, and

2654
02:13:38,320 --> 02:13:40,600
Speaker 7: actually he got very angry when people brought it up.

2655
02:13:41,000 --> 02:13:43,320
Speaker 7: And people have questioned whether or not he was more

2656
02:13:43,360 --> 02:13:47,480
Speaker 7: concerned about his perception in his public perception than winning.

2657
02:13:47,760 --> 02:13:50,040
Speaker 7: But I don't really have a problem with that because

2658
02:13:50,320 --> 02:13:52,080
Speaker 7: he's trying to put a winner on the field. He's

2659
02:13:52,080 --> 02:13:54,440
Speaker 7: paid people before pool holes right end down the line,

2660
02:13:55,000 --> 02:13:57,680
Speaker 7: And where am I going with this? If you draw

2661
02:13:57,720 --> 02:14:00,560
Speaker 7: a line down the middle, if Otani leaves as a

2662
02:14:00,600 --> 02:14:04,680
Speaker 7: free agent, frankly, that's on him. But if Otani would

2663
02:14:04,680 --> 02:14:06,680
Speaker 7: have been traded, that would have been on Moreno, and

2664
02:14:06,720 --> 02:14:09,680
Speaker 7: they never would have let him. Forget it. Otani asked

2665
02:14:09,680 --> 02:14:12,200
Speaker 7: to stay. We find out now that he likes living

2666
02:14:12,240 --> 02:14:15,040
Speaker 7: in California, he likes living on the West Coast, and

2667
02:14:15,120 --> 02:14:17,720
Speaker 7: I gave it seventy thirty that he's an Angel next year.

2668
02:14:18,120 --> 02:14:19,840
Speaker 2: That was gonna be My next question was that what

2669
02:14:19,920 --> 02:14:20,720
Speaker 2: you said last week?

2670
02:14:20,800 --> 02:14:21,800
Speaker 3: Was it seventy thirty?

2671
02:14:22,080 --> 02:14:25,240
Speaker 7: You guys didn't ask me that question last week, but

2672
02:14:25,320 --> 02:14:27,280
Speaker 7: you did ask me if I thought he'd be traded,

2673
02:14:27,280 --> 02:14:29,960
Speaker 7: and I said eighty five percent. No, wanting to say

2674
02:14:29,960 --> 02:14:32,680
Speaker 7: one hundred, but I couldn't do it. The reason I

2675
02:14:32,680 --> 02:14:35,120
Speaker 7: say seventy thirty now is because I've made some calls

2676
02:14:35,120 --> 02:14:37,360
Speaker 7: and heard some things. The Angels will not be the

2677
02:14:37,440 --> 02:14:40,880
Speaker 7: highest bidder. But believe it or not, Otani approached the

2678
02:14:40,880 --> 02:14:43,320
Speaker 7: Angels about a week ago and says, listen, I want

2679
02:14:43,320 --> 02:14:44,680
Speaker 7: to be with the team this year. I want to

2680
02:14:44,720 --> 02:14:47,080
Speaker 7: help us try to win this year. And he'd been

2681
02:14:47,080 --> 02:14:50,200
Speaker 7: scuffling for a week. And you know, human beings can

2682
02:14:50,240 --> 02:14:52,040
Speaker 7: deal with good news and bad news, they don't like

2683
02:14:52,080 --> 02:14:54,440
Speaker 7: to deal with uncertainty. Well, guess what. The day after

2684
02:14:54,480 --> 02:14:57,760
Speaker 7: Atani found out he's staying, he throws a one hitter

2685
02:14:57,800 --> 02:15:00,000
Speaker 7: against Detroit that hits two dingers in the second game.

2686
02:15:00,120 --> 02:15:02,480
Speaker 7: Who does that? And oh, by the way, you know

2687
02:15:02,520 --> 02:15:05,120
Speaker 7: your obligatory O Tani staff for the week. He's not

2688
02:15:05,240 --> 02:15:08,080
Speaker 7: got twenty seven home runs in his last forty nine games.

2689
02:15:08,440 --> 02:15:10,800
Speaker 7: The only people to do that in history Barry Bonds,

2690
02:15:10,880 --> 02:15:13,720
Speaker 7: Roger Merris, Mark Maguire and Sammy Soilsa. So they hit.

2691
02:15:13,760 --> 02:15:17,160
Speaker 7: Parade just keeps coming and William Hill has now put

2692
02:15:17,200 --> 02:15:19,720
Speaker 7: up odds seven to one. Will Owtwani in fact hit

2693
02:15:19,840 --> 02:15:23,120
Speaker 7: sixty three home runs to pass Judge from last year.

2694
02:15:23,360 --> 02:15:25,440
Speaker 7: If he hits one more between now and Tuesday, have

2695
02:15:25,520 --> 02:15:28,360
Speaker 7: forty going into AUGUSTA in September he had fifteen in

2696
02:15:28,400 --> 02:15:30,640
Speaker 7: the month of June. You can't rule it out. Am

2697
02:15:30,640 --> 02:15:31,360
Speaker 7: I predicting it?

2698
02:15:31,480 --> 02:15:31,520
Speaker 4: No?

2699
02:15:31,880 --> 02:15:33,800
Speaker 7: But you can't rule it out. Would you really want

2700
02:15:33,800 --> 02:15:35,880
Speaker 7: Otani doing that in another uniform?

2701
02:15:36,560 --> 02:15:39,320
Speaker 2: Absolutely not burning great call by you throughout the week,

2702
02:15:39,440 --> 02:15:41,880
Speaker 2: So you're pretty steadfast again that the move would not

2703
02:15:41,960 --> 02:15:44,520
Speaker 2: be made. And Jason and I, by the way, agree,

2704
02:15:44,800 --> 02:15:46,560
Speaker 2: I think it was the right decision. That we weren't

2705
02:15:46,600 --> 02:15:49,760
Speaker 2: as confident as you. Listen, I think anybody who's ever

2706
02:15:49,800 --> 02:15:52,160
Speaker 2: heard you knows your background. You spent you know, a

2707
02:15:52,160 --> 02:15:56,080
Speaker 2: couple decades, I believe in the greater Michigan area, covering

2708
02:15:56,120 --> 02:15:59,280
Speaker 2: the Lions, covering the Wolverines. And obviously it was a

2709
02:15:59,280 --> 02:16:01,760
Speaker 2: big week this week on a negative front for Jim

2710
02:16:01,800 --> 02:16:05,400
Speaker 2: Harbaugh and Michigan. It appears as though nothing is official,

2711
02:16:05,440 --> 02:16:08,520
Speaker 2: will be suspended a minimum of four games, maybe more

2712
02:16:09,120 --> 02:16:12,880
Speaker 2: for essentially lying to the NCAA during an investigation. Again, no,

2713
02:16:12,960 --> 02:16:15,840
Speaker 2: you got moles all over the place, but especially in Michigan.

2714
02:16:15,920 --> 02:16:16,920
Speaker 2: What'd you make of this news?

2715
02:16:16,960 --> 02:16:18,920
Speaker 7: Well, I was on the phone a lot this week,

2716
02:16:19,200 --> 02:16:22,800
Speaker 7: and of course you know the headline reads. For me,

2717
02:16:23,720 --> 02:16:26,400
Speaker 7: the cover up is always worse than the cheeseburger. So

2718
02:16:26,480 --> 02:16:30,240
Speaker 7: this goes back to a summer of twenty twenty where

2719
02:16:30,240 --> 02:16:32,680
Speaker 7: there was some recruiting going on and Harball allegedly bought

2720
02:16:32,720 --> 02:16:36,400
Speaker 7: some cheeseburgers from some recruits, and somehow that got out.

2721
02:16:36,680 --> 02:16:38,520
Speaker 7: And let me skip to the end quickly, because if

2722
02:16:38,520 --> 02:16:43,039
Speaker 7: anybody thinks this is just some nothing deal, well you've

2723
02:16:43,040 --> 02:16:45,400
Speaker 7: got to You've got to remember Mike McDonald. You remember

2724
02:16:45,440 --> 02:16:48,640
Speaker 7: the defensive coordinator Mike McDonald that did so well two

2725
02:16:48,720 --> 02:16:52,320
Speaker 7: years ago. He's now the defensive coordinator for Harbaugh's brother

2726
02:16:52,400 --> 02:16:55,520
Speaker 7: and the Ravens. He's expected to see a one year

2727
02:16:55,640 --> 02:16:58,840
Speaker 7: show cause penalty for his involvement in this. That's a

2728
02:16:58,879 --> 02:17:02,920
Speaker 7: big deal to me. Plus two current Michigan assistants are

2729
02:17:03,000 --> 02:17:06,520
Speaker 7: also expected to get a one game suspension. It'll be

2730
02:17:06,560 --> 02:17:10,000
Speaker 7: Game one versus zero East Carolina. It'll be offensive coordinator

2731
02:17:10,040 --> 02:17:12,200
Speaker 7: Sharon Moore, and then of course the tight ends coach

2732
02:17:12,280 --> 02:17:15,680
Speaker 7: Grand Newsom. That just doesn't happen for no reason. Now,

2733
02:17:16,680 --> 02:17:19,320
Speaker 7: it's my understanding. I was told that the na wants

2734
02:17:19,520 --> 02:17:23,199
Speaker 7: six games and are negotiating, and it looks like Harball

2735
02:17:23,480 --> 02:17:26,280
Speaker 7: will get four games. He softened little. They could have

2736
02:17:26,320 --> 02:17:29,760
Speaker 7: had this resolved in January. But the truth of the

2737
02:17:29,800 --> 02:17:33,800
Speaker 7: matter is Harball was obstinate. Harball went from I didn't

2738
02:17:33,840 --> 02:17:36,520
Speaker 7: do this to well, I don't remember doing it and

2739
02:17:36,640 --> 02:17:40,320
Speaker 7: when you lie to investigators, that's a level one violation.

2740
02:17:41,040 --> 02:17:44,320
Speaker 7: Here's what's interesting. That pissed the NCAA off. So they

2741
02:17:44,360 --> 02:17:47,480
Speaker 7: started to turn over rocks, and they found four level

2742
02:17:47,520 --> 02:17:51,320
Speaker 7: two violations, including meeting with recruits during the COVID dead period.

2743
02:17:51,840 --> 02:17:55,400
Speaker 7: Did the Kelvin Samson texting recruits outside of an allowable

2744
02:17:55,400 --> 02:17:58,880
Speaker 7: time period. He had certain analysts perform on field coaching

2745
02:17:58,920 --> 02:18:01,560
Speaker 7: duties were not allowed to beat and then zoom, you know,

2746
02:18:01,720 --> 02:18:04,360
Speaker 7: watching players work out in zoom calls. Add it all up.

2747
02:18:04,440 --> 02:18:07,320
Speaker 7: He becomes death by a thousand cuts. Now this is

2748
02:18:07,320 --> 02:18:09,640
Speaker 7: being fairly well laughed at, and they're not real happy

2749
02:18:09,640 --> 02:18:11,840
Speaker 7: at Ohio State because their coach lost his job for

2750
02:18:11,920 --> 02:18:14,520
Speaker 7: lying to the NCAA. But we're in different times now,

2751
02:18:14,920 --> 02:18:18,360
Speaker 7: so hardball likely will not be on the sidelines versus

2752
02:18:18,360 --> 02:18:21,960
Speaker 7: East Carolina, ULW, Bowling Green or Rutgers. But big Dan deal,

2753
02:18:22,040 --> 02:18:25,640
Speaker 7: there is thirty six point favorite against East Carolina and

2754
02:18:25,680 --> 02:18:27,920
Speaker 7: against the remaining teams there'll be no less than a

2755
02:18:27,959 --> 02:18:29,039
Speaker 7: twenty four point favorite.

2756
02:18:30,040 --> 02:18:35,040
Speaker 3: Schurzer to the Rangers. Bernie Thoughts don't like it.

2757
02:18:35,600 --> 02:18:39,080
Speaker 7: I'm gonna tell exactly why. First of all, I'm actually

2758
02:18:39,160 --> 02:18:43,960
Speaker 7: a little surprised that Scherzer waived the no trade class.

2759
02:18:44,040 --> 02:18:46,960
Speaker 7: His family really likes living in New York. And I

2760
02:18:47,000 --> 02:18:51,000
Speaker 7: do acknowledge that Texas needs pitching, but they need bullpen help.

2761
02:18:51,560 --> 02:18:54,920
Speaker 7: Their starters are combined forty and eighteen this year, but

2762
02:18:54,959 --> 02:18:57,800
Speaker 7: the Rangers bullpen help. Or check that at the Rangers

2763
02:18:57,879 --> 02:19:00,560
Speaker 7: bullpen ranks near the bottom of the Amyria League. They

2764
02:19:00,600 --> 02:19:03,080
Speaker 7: got a cumulative VRA of four point four to nine.

2765
02:19:03,600 --> 02:19:08,119
Speaker 7: Opposing hitters are hitting two ninety against the Rangers bullpen. Meanwhile,

2766
02:19:08,400 --> 02:19:12,120
Speaker 7: Schurezer not only turns forty next July, but he's three

2767
02:19:12,120 --> 02:19:14,680
Speaker 7: and four this year with a four ERA, and he's

2768
02:19:14,720 --> 02:19:17,320
Speaker 7: giving up more home runs than any other starter in

2769
02:19:17,360 --> 02:19:20,800
Speaker 7: the National League at twenty three. Here's what is all

2770
02:19:20,840 --> 02:19:24,440
Speaker 7: This really slays me. He's owed fifty seven million dollars

2771
02:19:24,600 --> 02:19:27,240
Speaker 7: in the remainder of the contract. The Mets are paying

2772
02:19:27,320 --> 02:19:30,880
Speaker 7: thirty five million of the fifty seven million to basically

2773
02:19:30,879 --> 02:19:33,119
Speaker 7: get a double a player back. He's got the right

2774
02:19:33,240 --> 02:19:36,800
Speaker 7: last name, but there are no guarantees. Finally, the Kreme

2775
02:19:36,840 --> 02:19:40,840
Speaker 7: de la creme. You guys probably remember last year during

2776
02:19:40,879 --> 02:19:44,680
Speaker 7: the Wildcard round, Schurezer was the starter for your New

2777
02:19:44,760 --> 02:19:48,880
Speaker 7: York Mets, and he gave up seven runs, four home runs,

2778
02:19:48,879 --> 02:19:51,280
Speaker 7: and four innings and they lost to the Padres seven

2779
02:19:51,320 --> 02:19:53,920
Speaker 7: to one. So there's that. I'm really not sure what

2780
02:19:54,080 --> 02:19:56,080
Speaker 7: either side truly accomplished.

2781
02:19:56,640 --> 02:19:58,400
Speaker 2: So Burn, I want to go back to college football

2782
02:19:58,400 --> 02:20:01,400
Speaker 2: for a second again, just you being so plugged in

2783
02:20:01,440 --> 02:20:04,000
Speaker 2: across the college space. What have you made of this

2784
02:20:04,040 --> 02:20:07,200
Speaker 2: week's Colorado news? And more importantly, again, you're from the

2785
02:20:07,200 --> 02:20:09,720
Speaker 2: West Coast, you grew up in southern California. What do

2786
02:20:09,720 --> 02:20:12,039
Speaker 2: you make of the future of the PAC twelve.

2787
02:20:13,400 --> 02:20:15,879
Speaker 7: I don't think it looks good a year ago. Now,

2788
02:20:16,440 --> 02:20:18,640
Speaker 7: you know they were branging about the TV contract they

2789
02:20:18,640 --> 02:20:20,160
Speaker 7: were going to get in, how Dion was going to

2790
02:20:20,200 --> 02:20:21,920
Speaker 7: put butts in seats out. Because I think it's going

2791
02:20:22,000 --> 02:20:24,920
Speaker 7: to be and that's all going south. That's why San

2792
02:20:24,959 --> 02:20:27,520
Speaker 7: Diego the state didn't join the conference. I think you'll

2793
02:20:27,520 --> 02:20:30,120
Speaker 7: see at least one more Packed to twelve. Well, I

2794
02:20:30,120 --> 02:20:32,400
Speaker 7: don't know what you call them now, pack eleven.

2795
02:20:32,600 --> 02:20:34,920
Speaker 2: Pack nine as we were as we talked there.

2796
02:20:35,280 --> 02:20:36,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean we might be turning the clock back

2797
02:20:36,959 --> 02:20:39,160
Speaker 7: to nineteen seventy five to be the Pack eight again

2798
02:20:39,240 --> 02:20:42,480
Speaker 7: right after USC and UCLA leaves. The bottom line is

2799
02:20:42,480 --> 02:20:47,000
Speaker 7: I think you could see Arizona go to the Big

2800
02:20:47,040 --> 02:20:51,080
Speaker 7: twelve any way you slice it. They're regressing, they have

2801
02:20:51,320 --> 02:20:53,840
Speaker 7: issues with the time of their games, they don't have

2802
02:20:53,879 --> 02:20:56,800
Speaker 7: a TV contract, and it's going to be increasingly difficult

2803
02:20:56,959 --> 02:20:59,600
Speaker 7: to recruit when USC and UCLA leave the number two

2804
02:20:59,600 --> 02:21:02,760
Speaker 7: medium mark in the country. I don't know what is

2805
02:21:02,840 --> 02:21:05,080
Speaker 7: going to happen. What's the answer? Do you go out

2806
02:21:05,120 --> 02:21:08,440
Speaker 7: and get SMU. I've heard Utah is very interested in

2807
02:21:08,520 --> 02:21:11,000
Speaker 7: going to the Big twelve because of the Utah BYU.

2808
02:21:11,320 --> 02:21:13,080
Speaker 7: They're sort of joined at the hip and they have

2809
02:21:13,200 --> 02:21:17,200
Speaker 7: been for years. So Aaron frankly doesn't look good. I'm

2810
02:21:17,200 --> 02:21:19,119
Speaker 7: not going to bury him just yet, but they're going

2811
02:21:19,160 --> 02:21:19,920
Speaker 7: in the wrong direction.

2812
02:21:20,800 --> 02:21:23,720
Speaker 3: Just real quickly, what's your opinion on the Jonathan Taylor situation?

2813
02:21:25,240 --> 02:21:28,040
Speaker 7: Jonathan Taylor brother, wake up and realize he's living in

2814
02:21:28,400 --> 02:21:32,800
Speaker 7: twenty twenty three. Running backs are important, and running backs

2815
02:21:32,840 --> 02:21:37,160
Speaker 7: have not been devalued. They're simply interchangeable. You've got a glut,

2816
02:21:37,240 --> 02:21:40,880
Speaker 7: You've got a supply and demand situation. When Christian McCaffrey,

2817
02:21:41,000 --> 02:21:43,240
Speaker 7: arguably the best running back in the game, can leave teams,

2818
02:21:43,520 --> 02:21:46,360
Speaker 7: Carolina's rushing attack gets better. You know how I feel?

2819
02:21:46,400 --> 02:21:48,959
Speaker 7: About this. It's a bad move and he's playing for

2820
02:21:49,000 --> 02:21:51,240
Speaker 7: an owner that you don't put an ultimatum on. I

2821
02:21:51,240 --> 02:21:53,440
Speaker 7: don't know why he did it. It's a no win situation.

2822
02:21:54,120 --> 02:21:57,840
Speaker 2: He is Bernie Fratto of the Bernie Fratto Show. Of course,

2823
02:21:57,840 --> 02:21:59,440
Speaker 2: Bernie will be on at the top of the hour

2824
02:21:59,520 --> 02:22:02,640
Speaker 2: following us. Make sure to follow Bernie on social media

2825
02:22:02,800 --> 02:22:06,760
Speaker 2: at Bernie Fratto. Bernie, we very much appreciate the time,

2826
02:22:06,840 --> 02:22:08,560
Speaker 2: and we will of course be listening at the top

2827
02:22:08,600 --> 02:22:10,280
Speaker 2: of the hour. Thank you, bern Thanks you guy.

2828
02:22:10,280 --> 02:22:10,959
Speaker 7: I appreciate it.

2829
02:22:11,480 --> 02:22:13,920
Speaker 2: That was Bernie Fratto of the Bernie Fratto Show. We'll

2830
02:22:13,920 --> 02:22:16,600
Speaker 2: come back react to some of the things that Bernie

2831
02:22:16,640 --> 02:22:18,760
Speaker 2: had to say and some very good news on a

2832
02:22:18,879 --> 02:22:21,840
Speaker 2: very scary story that's next. Before we do, though, toss

2833
02:22:21,920 --> 02:22:24,199
Speaker 2: over the news desk final time this evening, Steve de Seger.

2834
02:22:24,000 --> 02:22:26,440
Speaker 8: What's We'll get to the boxing in a moment. But guys,

2835
02:22:26,560 --> 02:22:29,000
Speaker 8: Katie Ledeki in our lifetime is one of the great

2836
02:22:29,000 --> 02:22:32,120
Speaker 8: American female athletes, and Saturday she won the eight hundred

2837
02:22:32,160 --> 02:22:35,439
Speaker 8: freestyle at the World Swimming Championships. That is her sixteenth

2838
02:22:35,560 --> 02:22:40,920
Speaker 8: career gold at Worlds individually, breaking Michael Phelps record and

2839
02:22:40,959 --> 02:22:42,800
Speaker 8: She's the first to win a world title in the

2840
02:22:42,800 --> 02:22:46,560
Speaker 8: same event six times. Ladeki already has seven career Olympic

2841
02:22:46,720 --> 02:22:49,400
Speaker 8: gold medals, and she's the record holder in the eight

2842
02:22:49,520 --> 02:22:53,199
Speaker 8: hundred and the fifteen utter meter freestyle. And Brittany Grinder's

2843
02:22:53,200 --> 02:22:55,400
Speaker 8: in the news because the Phoenix Mercury is saying Grinder

2844
02:22:55,440 --> 02:22:57,960
Speaker 8: will miss at least two games to focus on her

2845
02:22:58,000 --> 02:23:01,320
Speaker 8: mental hell. Phoenix is six and seven this season and

2846
02:23:01,400 --> 02:23:04,840
Speaker 8: its coach was fired last month. Boxing in Las Vegas, tonight,

2847
02:23:04,920 --> 02:23:07,800
Speaker 8: Terrence Crawford now forty and oh, after a ninth round

2848
02:23:07,879 --> 02:23:11,520
Speaker 8: TKO dominant over erl Spence, who had been twenty eight

2849
02:23:11,560 --> 02:23:14,240
Speaker 8: and oh, Crawford knocked down his opponent in the second

2850
02:23:14,280 --> 02:23:16,959
Speaker 8: round and twice in the seventh. As the La Times

2851
02:23:16,959 --> 02:23:20,959
Speaker 8: put it, Terrence Bud Crawford delivered a virtuoso performance of

2852
02:23:21,000 --> 02:23:24,800
Speaker 8: a lifetime tonight, knocking down Spence three times en route

2853
02:23:24,800 --> 02:23:28,880
Speaker 8: to a dominant TKO victory. At the Women's World Cup,

2854
02:23:28,879 --> 02:23:32,040
Speaker 8: a doubleheader on Fox TV is well underway South Korea

2855
02:23:32,080 --> 02:23:36,200
Speaker 8: against Morocco. Somehow, Morocco scores early one. Nothing is the

2856
02:23:36,200 --> 02:23:40,320
Speaker 8: halftime lead for him. Next will be New Zealand hosting Switzerland.

2857
02:23:40,440 --> 02:23:44,360
Speaker 8: Three am Eastern time FS one. We'll have two games overnight,

2858
02:23:44,600 --> 02:23:49,320
Speaker 8: Philippines against Norway three am Eastern, then Germany against Columbia

2859
02:23:49,360 --> 02:23:52,720
Speaker 8: five thirty am Eastern time on FS one. The Germans

2860
02:23:52,760 --> 02:23:56,959
Speaker 8: won their opener six nothing against Morocco. Sweden early morning

2861
02:23:57,000 --> 02:24:00,000
Speaker 8: our time won five nothing over Italy. Sweden scored three

2862
02:24:00,040 --> 02:24:03,400
Speaker 8: three times just before halftime SUPERB game as France with

2863
02:24:03,440 --> 02:24:05,960
Speaker 8: a late goal, beat Brazil two to one. Now Brazil

2864
02:24:06,000 --> 02:24:09,119
Speaker 8: has to win its group finale against Jamaica to advance.

2865
02:24:09,160 --> 02:24:12,480
Speaker 8: That'll be on Fox TV Wednesday morning. Jamaica shut out

2866
02:24:12,560 --> 02:24:15,600
Speaker 8: last place Panama this morning won nothing. The American's next

2867
02:24:15,600 --> 02:24:19,200
Speaker 8: game is late Monday against Portugal. Free agent running back

2868
02:24:19,240 --> 02:24:22,360
Speaker 8: Ezekiel Elliott met with the Patriots but left without a deal.

2869
02:24:22,680 --> 02:24:25,680
Speaker 8: Colts running back Jonathan Taylor requested a trade, but the

2870
02:24:25,680 --> 02:24:28,680
Speaker 8: team says it will not deal him. The Dolphins signed

2871
02:24:28,680 --> 02:24:32,800
Speaker 8: defensive back Eli Apple. Running back Sony Michelle decided to retire.

2872
02:24:32,920 --> 02:24:35,840
Speaker 8: According to the Rams, the Dodgers had the late game

2873
02:24:36,040 --> 02:24:38,640
Speaker 8: and they wound up winners despite only two hits. Three

2874
02:24:38,680 --> 02:24:41,760
Speaker 8: to the final against Cincinnati. The two hits were both

2875
02:24:41,840 --> 02:24:45,240
Speaker 8: Max Munsey homers. The Dodgers are first in the NL West,

2876
02:24:45,280 --> 02:24:48,960
Speaker 8: still three games over San Francisco, four up on Arizona,

2877
02:24:49,000 --> 02:24:51,200
Speaker 8: which won its game four to three against Seattle with

2878
02:24:51,240 --> 02:24:53,000
Speaker 8: a run in the bottom of the eighth. The Diamondbacks

2889
02:25:24,879 --> 02:25:28,080

2908
02:26:26,560 --> 02:26:30,120
Speaker 2: Com studios. Jason, just one quite a quick follow up

2909
02:26:30,160 --> 02:26:33,520
Speaker 2: to an awful, scary story, but it does have a

2910
02:26:33,560 --> 02:26:37,720
Speaker 2: good follow up. Obviously, we all saw and were shocked

2911
02:26:37,760 --> 02:26:42,160
Speaker 2: by the news of Bronni James the other day USC basketball,

2912
02:26:43,360 --> 02:26:46,840
Speaker 2: you know, had cardiac arrest and ended up in the hospital.

2913
02:26:47,640 --> 02:26:49,200
Speaker 2: You know, we found out a few days ago that

2914
02:26:49,280 --> 02:26:52,920
Speaker 2: he had been released from the hospital. Earlier today, Lebron

2915
02:26:53,040 --> 02:26:56,240
Speaker 2: James on his Instagram account posted a video of Bronni

2916
02:26:56,320 --> 02:27:01,520
Speaker 2: playing the piano, caption grand rising, God is Bronnie, You

2917
02:27:01,640 --> 02:27:04,960
Speaker 2: are amazing? Simple as that. Keep going, young King. We're

2918

Speaker 2: here right with you every step of the way. Hashtag

Speaker 2: James Gang So listen, you know, we come on here

2920
02:27:12,520 --> 02:27:15,560
Speaker 2: with strong opinions. Jason, I don't think there's really a

2921
02:27:15,640 --> 02:27:18,320
Speaker 2: take to be had, but didn't want to give everybody

2922
02:27:18,320 --> 02:27:21,119
Speaker 2: a nice little follow up as Lebron posts a video

2923
02:27:21,160 --> 02:27:24,520
Speaker 2: of his son out of the hospital and seeming seemingly

2924
02:27:24,560 --> 02:27:25,360
Speaker 2: doing pretty well.

2925
02:27:25,640 --> 02:27:28,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there's no take to have other than good.

2926
02:27:28,720 --> 02:27:32,920
Speaker 3: You know, like that was a pretty shocking piece of

2927
02:27:33,000 --> 02:27:37,160
Speaker 3: news when it came through, and you just kind of

2928
02:27:37,200 --> 02:27:41,040
Speaker 3: wanted wanted everything to work itself out, and it does

2929
02:27:41,080 --> 02:27:43,120
Speaker 3: seem to be, you know, you see the video of

2930
02:27:43,160 --> 02:27:47,320
Speaker 3: him playing piano and all that, and certainly bright future

2931
02:27:47,360 --> 02:27:48,800
Speaker 3: ahead of him, but right now you just want to

2932
02:27:48,840 --> 02:27:51,280
Speaker 3: make sure he's all right, that he's healthy, that he

2933
02:27:51,360 --> 02:27:53,959
Speaker 3: can continue to enjoy his life and all those things,

2934
02:27:53,959 --> 02:27:58,680
Speaker 3: and it seems like everything's been relatively positive haven't been

2935
02:27:58,720 --> 02:28:01,840
Speaker 3: anything that would call as a setback that we've heard about,

2936
02:28:01,920 --> 02:28:03,119
Speaker 3: So I'm happy about that.

2937
02:28:03,680 --> 02:28:07,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, again, not much to add Bronnie James. It has

2938
02:28:07,160 --> 02:28:11,560
Speaker 2: been out of the hospital and Lebron James. Lebron James

2939
02:28:11,560 --> 02:28:14,320
Speaker 2: does post about it. And I'll say this to Jason,

2940
02:28:14,360 --> 02:28:16,120
Speaker 2: you know, well, one thing I'll just add to this

2941
02:28:16,160 --> 02:28:18,320
Speaker 2: really quick. On top of the again, there's really no

2942
02:28:18,400 --> 02:28:20,199
Speaker 2: take to have other than that we're glad he's healthy.

2943
02:28:21,120 --> 02:28:24,120
Speaker 2: You know, you can criticize Lebron for whatever on the court,

2944
02:28:24,600 --> 02:28:26,680
Speaker 2: but a couple of things, you know. You know, he

2945
02:28:26,760 --> 02:28:29,520
Speaker 2: talks all the time about being more than an athlete,

2946
02:28:29,920 --> 02:28:31,840
Speaker 2: and by all accounts, you know, and I think I

2947
02:28:31,840 --> 02:28:35,160
Speaker 2: said this when Bronni committed. But I know the USC

2948
02:28:35,240 --> 02:28:37,800
Speaker 2: coaching staff a little bit well, you know, pretty well,

2949
02:28:37,840 --> 02:28:40,720
Speaker 2: and talking to them and knowing some people at Sierra Canyon.

2950
02:28:41,120 --> 02:28:45,120
Speaker 2: They say that Lebron is just an incredible father, you know,

2951
02:28:45,240 --> 02:28:47,800
Speaker 2: not that it has anything to do with this particular situation,

2952
02:28:48,959 --> 02:28:51,760
Speaker 2: but you know, incredible father, hands off, you know, during

2953
02:28:51,760 --> 02:28:54,119
Speaker 2: the recruitment, just wanted what was best for his son.

2954
02:28:54,760 --> 02:28:57,360
Speaker 2: And so, you know, I think what it really speaks

2955
02:28:57,400 --> 02:28:59,240
Speaker 2: to to me is doesn't matter if you have all

2956
02:28:59,280 --> 02:29:00,920
Speaker 2: the money in the world, all of this all to

2957
02:29:01,000 --> 02:29:03,800
Speaker 2: that real life strikes all of us again. I know

2958
02:29:03,840 --> 02:29:06,760
Speaker 2: there's nothing really more to Adjason, but just happy that

2959
02:29:06,760 --> 02:29:09,120
Speaker 2: Brownie James is out of the hospital and seemingly on

2960
02:29:09,160 --> 02:29:10,040
Speaker 2: the road to recovery.

2961
02:29:10,240 --> 02:29:12,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's really not much much to add other than

2962
02:29:13,320 --> 02:29:16,400
Speaker 3: look forward to seeing him on the court and I'm

2963
02:29:16,520 --> 02:29:19,119
Speaker 3: very curious to see how this turns out for him

2964
02:29:19,160 --> 02:29:23,040
Speaker 3: as a basketball player. But I think everybody out there

2965
02:29:23,080 --> 02:29:25,760
Speaker 3: is just happy that it's been a positive story after

2966
02:29:25,800 --> 02:29:27,160
Speaker 3: the initial shock of it all.

2991
02:30:34,600 --> 02:30:38,879
Speaker 3: handfull of years, And yes, that's exactly right, and you

2992
02:30:39,000 --> 02:30:42,039
Speaker 3: need to appreciate them while they're here and continue to

2993
02:30:42,120 --> 02:30:45,600
Speaker 3: understand that there's a lot of great announcers coming up now,

2994
02:30:45,600 --> 02:30:48,560
Speaker 3: there's a lot of talented people. They're gonna be doing

2995
02:30:48,600 --> 02:30:51,080
Speaker 3: this job and carrying it into the next generation. But

2996
02:30:51,120 --> 02:30:53,760
Speaker 3: there is something timeless about some of these voices, and

2997
02:30:53,800 --> 02:30:54,720
Speaker 3: his is one of them.

2998
02:30:55,120 --> 02:30:58,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't mean to throw throw your curveball there,

2999
02:30:58,320 --> 02:31:00,879
Speaker 2: but no pun intended. But but yeah, I didn't know

3000
02:31:00,920 --> 02:31:02,960
Speaker 2: he was still broadcasting, I mean for people of a

3001
02:31:02,959 --> 02:31:06,120
Speaker 2: certain age. Him and Joe Morgan were the voices of

3002
02:31:06,200 --> 02:31:11,000
Speaker 2: Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN for many, many, many years,

3003
02:31:11,600 --> 02:31:14,000
Speaker 2: And I didn't know he was still working, so good

3004
02:31:14,040 --> 02:31:16,760
Speaker 2: for him and he sounds great and uh yeah. He

3005
02:31:16,840 --> 02:31:19,560
Speaker 2: has been the Giants play by play voice since nineteen

3006
02:31:19,800 --> 02:31:23,840
Speaker 2: ninety seven. And that was again the progressive play of

3007
02:31:23,879 --> 02:31:26,440
Speaker 2: the day. As the Giants walk off, Jason, Hey, real quick,

3008
02:31:26,959 --> 02:31:29,160
Speaker 2: you know we didn't you know, we talked about the

3009
02:31:29,240 --> 02:31:32,560
Speaker 2: Jalen Ramsey injury earlier. We did not talk about Joe Burrow,

3010
02:31:32,560 --> 02:31:35,560
Speaker 2: who obviously, thankfully is going to be okay. Do you

3011
02:31:35,560 --> 02:31:38,480
Speaker 2: have any thoughts like like when those two guys went down,

3012
02:31:38,520 --> 02:31:41,320
Speaker 2: you know, seemingly, you know, back to back. There was

3013
02:31:41,320 --> 02:31:43,520
Speaker 2: a lot of talk about the schedule and this and

3014
02:31:43,560 --> 02:31:46,080
Speaker 2: we need to change this about training camp. I kind

3015
02:31:46,080 --> 02:31:48,080
Speaker 2: of thought it was a weird conversation, Like I think

3016
02:31:48,120 --> 02:31:50,600
Speaker 2: at some point you gotta go full speed and you know,

3017
02:31:50,840 --> 02:31:53,520
Speaker 2: sometimes stuff is gonna happen. Sometimes it's gonna be more

3018
02:31:53,560 --> 02:31:55,480
Speaker 2: serious than others. Did you have any like, do you

3019
02:31:55,480 --> 02:31:58,800
Speaker 2: have any fundamental issue with the schedule or anything like that.

3020
02:31:59,320 --> 02:32:01,400
Speaker 2: It was a big commonversation this week. I didn't I

3021
02:32:01,400 --> 02:32:02,879
Speaker 2: don't know that I really agreed with it.

3022
02:32:03,400 --> 02:32:06,000
Speaker 3: Nah, it didn't really bother me all that much. Uh,

3023
02:32:06,320 --> 02:32:10,400
Speaker 3: it just kind of I don't know it. It felt

3024
02:32:10,480 --> 02:32:12,760
Speaker 3: like some people were making a mountain out of a molehill.

3025
02:32:13,000 --> 02:32:14,120
Speaker 3: That's kind of how I saw it.

3026
02:32:15,120 --> 02:32:20,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't disagree at all. All Right, so guess what, Jason,

3027
02:32:20,680 --> 02:32:24,520
Speaker 2: Thursday we get NFL football? Baby, could you believe that?

3028
02:32:25,200 --> 02:32:28,080
Speaker 2: Thursday night, August third? Is that Thursday? I think that

3029
02:32:28,200 --> 02:32:29,840
Speaker 2: is Thursday.

3030
02:32:30,080 --> 02:32:32,640
Speaker 3: We've got we got something Hall of Fame game.

3031
02:32:32,959 --> 02:32:37,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Cleveland Browns and the New York Football Jets. I'm

3032
02:32:37,879 --> 02:32:40,760
Speaker 2: guessing we're not getting to Sean Watson versus Aaron Rodgers,

3033
02:32:40,840 --> 02:32:43,199
Speaker 2: but I'm guessing you'll probably be watching.

3034
02:32:43,040 --> 02:32:46,880
Speaker 3: Right, I mean, I don't know, Yeah, a little bit.

3035
02:32:46,920 --> 02:32:49,000
Speaker 3: I can tell you everybody hates playing on that field.

3036
02:32:49,920 --> 02:32:52,280
Speaker 3: Talking to multiple NFL player, Yeah, because it's just like,

3037
02:32:52,360 --> 02:32:57,080
Speaker 3: it's awful, it's dangerous, it's hard. You'll see people not

3038
02:32:57,200 --> 02:32:59,720
Speaker 3: wanting to hit the ground and things like that in

3039
02:32:59,760 --> 02:33:02,920
Speaker 3: the game. But yeah, I'll be watching because people will

3040
02:33:02,920 --> 02:33:05,800
Speaker 3: be wearing helmets and there will be a football on

3041
02:33:05,840 --> 02:33:08,760
Speaker 3: the field and it won't be spring football.

3042
02:33:09,040 --> 02:33:09,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, we.

3043
02:33:10,920 --> 02:33:14,440
Speaker 3: Had to make that. I was gonna, Oh, really, all

3044
02:33:14,480 --> 02:33:16,960
Speaker 3: it takes the football and helmets. No, no, it also

3045
02:33:17,040 --> 02:33:18,960
Speaker 3: takes a league that has equity.

3046
02:33:19,240 --> 02:33:22,120
Speaker 2: Yes, by the way, Hall of Fame Induction is obviously

3047
02:33:22,280 --> 02:33:27,680
Speaker 2: this coming weekend. Uh, interesting class. We have Rende Barber, Uh,

3048
02:33:27,760 --> 02:33:32,240
Speaker 2: Don Coriel, the famous head coach, Darrell Revus Revis Island

3049
02:33:32,320 --> 02:33:37,160
Speaker 2: is going in, Joe Thomas, the longtime offensive tackle, Zach Thomas,

3050
02:33:37,200 --> 02:33:40,600
Speaker 2: the linebacker DeMarcus Ware. So those are the players going

3051
02:33:40,640 --> 02:33:43,680
Speaker 2: in this weekend. But uh, but yeah, we do have

3052
02:33:43,720 --> 02:33:45,840
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame game this weekend. What else you

3053
02:33:45,879 --> 02:33:47,760
Speaker 2: got going on this week? Jason? I mean, obviously it's

3054
02:33:47,800 --> 02:33:50,920
Speaker 2: a slower time in sports. Uh, how do you pass

3055
02:33:50,959 --> 02:33:53,640
Speaker 2: the time when you know, as we wait for you know,

3056
02:33:53,680 --> 02:33:55,360
Speaker 2: it's not gonna be too long from now that our

3057
02:33:55,400 --> 02:33:58,080
Speaker 2: Thursday nights are going to be taking our our Saturdays.

3058
02:33:58,080 --> 02:33:59,600
Speaker 2: You and I obviously will be watching a lot of

3059
02:33:59,640 --> 02:34:03,600
Speaker 2: college football Sundays in the NFL Monday Night football. How

3060
02:34:03,640 --> 02:34:05,400
Speaker 2: are you passing the time here to end the summer?

3061
02:34:05,520 --> 02:34:09,119
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I think that's the point, right. You're

3062
02:34:09,200 --> 02:34:12,680
Speaker 3: tying up some loose ends, You're doing some things. You

3063
02:34:12,760 --> 02:34:14,920
Speaker 3: are doing some things you know you're not gonna have

3064
02:34:14,959 --> 02:34:17,119
Speaker 3: time to do here in a few months. And that's

3065
02:34:17,160 --> 02:34:19,720
Speaker 3: kind of what it's been with me, and it's what's

3066
02:34:19,760 --> 02:34:21,600
Speaker 3: going to continue to be. I think there's a pool

3067
02:34:21,680 --> 02:34:25,959
Speaker 3: day next weekend with my daughter and with our family.

3068
02:34:26,040 --> 02:34:28,480
Speaker 3: So the wife and I are gonna take her and

3069
02:34:28,640 --> 02:34:32,520
Speaker 3: have some fun there, and there might be it's too hot.

3070
02:34:32,600 --> 02:34:36,080
Speaker 3: Right now, here's one for you. So it was like,

3071
02:34:36,480 --> 02:34:38,200
Speaker 3: I don't know, with the humidity. It was well over

3072
02:34:38,240 --> 02:34:40,600
Speaker 3: one hundred over the last few days, and I did

3073
02:34:40,640 --> 02:34:45,360
Speaker 3: not want to grill because of the heat. However, I

3074
02:34:45,440 --> 02:34:47,640
Speaker 3: did stop and think, well, I'm not even sure I

3075
02:34:47,640 --> 02:34:51,160
Speaker 3: would notice the heat because it's already so hot. I

3076
02:34:51,200 --> 02:34:54,600
Speaker 3: would just be outside, like, I don't know. I think

3077
02:34:54,600 --> 02:34:57,200
Speaker 3: I would register that there was more heat on the grill,

3078
02:34:57,560 --> 02:35:00,039
Speaker 3: but I'm not sure that that's the best excuse, Like

3079
02:35:00,080 --> 02:35:02,119
Speaker 3: I think you might actually get hot or grilling when

3080
02:35:02,120 --> 02:35:05,680
Speaker 3: it's not quite as hot outside, or am I insane?

3081
02:35:06,280 --> 02:35:09,560
Speaker 2: No, no, no, it's it's funny. I don't think there's

3082
02:35:09,680 --> 02:35:11,959
Speaker 2: much of a difference, like once you got that girl

3083
02:35:12,040 --> 02:35:14,720
Speaker 2: fired up, Like I tend to grill Sundays. I won't

3084
02:35:14,720 --> 02:35:17,640
Speaker 2: be tomorrow, but you know I tend to grill on Sundays.

3085
02:35:17,760 --> 02:35:20,800
Speaker 2: And there has been just an insane heat wave here

3086
02:35:20,840 --> 02:35:23,760
Speaker 2: in California where I live. It's been pretty much ninety

3087
02:35:23,760 --> 02:35:28,760
Speaker 2: plus basically every day in July, so it's just been crazy.

3088
02:35:29,600 --> 02:35:31,680
Speaker 2: But I don't think that's crazy. It's like, you know,

3089
02:35:31,720 --> 02:35:33,080
Speaker 2: on the one hand, you're like, I don't want to,

3090
02:35:33,160 --> 02:35:35,160
Speaker 2: but on the other hand, it's like you're not gonna

3091
02:35:35,160 --> 02:35:36,560
Speaker 2: feel that much of a difference. The only thing I

3092
02:35:36,600 --> 02:35:38,720
Speaker 2: would say is if you haven't been outside all day

3093
02:35:38,760 --> 02:35:41,080
Speaker 2: and you're nice and cool and you're sitting inside, then

3094
02:35:41,120 --> 02:35:45,160
Speaker 2: you probably don't want to go, you know, go and and.

3095
02:35:45,280 --> 02:35:47,520
Speaker 3: Yeah that makes yeah, you're right, right, right right.

3096
02:35:47,480 --> 02:35:50,720
Speaker 2: Let's go outside. So anyway, Yeah, it's it's get to

3097
02:35:50,760 --> 02:35:53,160
Speaker 2: be that time. By the way, four Saturdays until weeks

3098
02:35:53,200 --> 02:35:56,200
Speaker 2: zero in college football for people who don't know, the

3099
02:35:56,240 --> 02:36:00,200
Speaker 2: big game that day Notre Dame Navy in Ireland. So

3100
02:36:00,320 --> 02:36:03,120
Speaker 2: that'll be the debut of Sam Hartman, the transfer quarterback

3101
02:36:03,160 --> 02:36:05,200
Speaker 2: for Notre Dame. By the way, as we've discussed with

3102
02:36:05,280 --> 02:36:09,840
Speaker 2: the Sager, USC actually plays that weekend on week zero,

3103
02:36:09,879 --> 02:36:12,560
Speaker 2: which is great in theory. The problem is they'll be

3104
02:36:12,600 --> 02:36:15,240
Speaker 2: playing on the PAC twelve network that nobody gets.

3105
02:36:15,480 --> 02:36:17,680
Speaker 3: I get it. Oh you do, okay, remember I get that.

3106
02:36:18,080 --> 02:36:21,000
Speaker 3: So I'll keep everyone up to date on what's happening.

3107
02:36:21,640 --> 02:36:24,400
Speaker 3: I'll keep everyone in California who can't get the PAC

3108
02:36:24,440 --> 02:36:25,199
Speaker 3: twelve network.

3109
02:36:25,400 --> 02:36:27,200
Speaker 2: Arnie Spannier is the only other person I know who

3110
02:36:27,200 --> 02:36:27,480
Speaker 2: gets that.

3111
02:36:27,720 --> 02:36:29,480
Speaker 3: Oh really, I don't know that that's a list that

3112
02:36:29,520 --> 02:36:33,000
Speaker 3: I want to be on that's exclusive, but that's I

3113
02:36:33,000 --> 02:36:34,600
Speaker 3: guess that's all right, that'll be fine.

3114
02:36:34,640 --> 02:36:36,480
Speaker 2: Well he does. That was the running joke when when

3115
02:36:36,520 --> 02:36:38,280
Speaker 2: he used to host In This Time slide is he

3116
02:36:38,360 --> 02:36:40,160
Speaker 2: is the only one that could watch one.

3117
02:36:40,000 --> 02:36:41,120
Speaker 3: Other college football thing?

3118
02:36:41,240 --> 02:36:41,840
Speaker 7: What do you J.

3119
02:36:42,000 --> 02:36:46,560
Speaker 3: Fleck deal? What's happening in the Big ten with like

3120
02:36:46,800 --> 02:36:49,240
Speaker 3: people coming out of the woodwork to go after head coaches?

3121
02:36:49,760 --> 02:36:53,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that one, that's all odd. That one, I'll just

3122
02:36:53,520 --> 02:36:56,800
Speaker 2: say was much ado about nothing. And you know, you

3123
02:36:56,840 --> 02:37:02,280
Speaker 2: see this sometimes in sports. It's a copycat thing where

3124
02:37:02,280 --> 02:37:05,360
Speaker 2: it's like yeah, I felt like yeah, and like my

3125
02:37:05,480 --> 02:37:07,600
Speaker 2: whole thing. And I said this when I read the

3126
02:37:07,640 --> 02:37:11,440
Speaker 2: report is Fleck is definitely a different guy. But first

3127
02:37:11,480 --> 02:37:13,360
Speaker 2: of all, you gotta remember with Fleck, like he took

3128
02:37:13,360 --> 02:37:17,879
Speaker 2: over that program, the players had boycotted the season before

3129
02:37:18,560 --> 02:37:21,560
Speaker 2: uh with the previous coaching staff, so he was walking

3130
02:37:21,600 --> 02:37:25,440
Speaker 2: into a volatile situation. My guess is that when the

3131
02:37:25,600 --> 02:37:28,240
Speaker 2: entire team or a big percentage of the team refuses

3132
02:37:28,280 --> 02:37:31,360
Speaker 2: to play, there's probably some guys that they're just not

3133
02:37:31,520 --> 02:37:36,000
Speaker 2: fully committed to the cause, and so like, yeah, he's

3134
02:37:36,040 --> 02:37:39,119
Speaker 2: a little bit different. He's very demanding of his players.

3135
02:37:39,120 --> 02:37:41,280
Speaker 2: But like, oh, by the way, I know we don't

3136
02:37:41,320 --> 02:37:44,440
Speaker 2: talk a ton of Minnesota football on this show. That

3137
02:37:44,480 --> 02:37:47,840
Speaker 2: guy's having unprecedented success, Like that school has had no

3138
02:37:48,040 --> 02:37:53,520
Speaker 2: relevance in basically the last century. And since he's taken

3139
02:37:53,560 --> 02:37:56,600
Speaker 2: over three nine win seasons one to eleven win season

3140
02:37:56,640 --> 02:38:01,000
Speaker 2: that's obviously without the COVID season. Like, yeah, sometimes you

3141
02:38:01,120 --> 02:38:03,039
Speaker 2: gotta be a little bit different to get a place

3142
02:38:03,040 --> 02:38:06,320
Speaker 2: that hasn't won winning. And so I read that report.

3143
02:38:06,560 --> 02:38:08,480
Speaker 2: I kept waiting for the smoking gun, and there really

3144
02:38:08,520 --> 02:38:09,560
Speaker 2: wasn't anything there that I saw.

3145
02:38:09,640 --> 02:38:12,520
Speaker 3: Jason, Yeah, I mean that's kind of what I kind

3146
02:38:12,520 --> 02:38:13,880
Speaker 3: of felt the same way. It was just kind of

3147
02:38:13,920 --> 02:38:16,760
Speaker 3: odd that you saw it pop out so quickly. Sure,

3148
02:38:16,800 --> 02:38:18,840
Speaker 3: it's just are we about to see a rash of

3149
02:38:18,879 --> 02:38:22,680
Speaker 3: this happening in a bunch of different places, and what

3150
02:38:22,879 --> 02:38:26,760
Speaker 3: is the motivation behind what we're trying to pull off here?

3151
02:38:27,160 --> 02:38:29,600
Speaker 2: No, it's totally fair and it'll be interesting to see.

3152
02:38:29,600 --> 02:38:31,280
Speaker 2: And like I said, I just think it's one of

3153
02:38:31,280 --> 02:38:34,400
Speaker 2: those deals where it's a copycat thing. You know, hey,

3154
02:38:34,720 --> 02:38:37,280
Speaker 2: you know I had these guys had beef with their

3155
02:38:37,959 --> 02:38:40,280
Speaker 2: coach and they got them fired. Well, I have this

3156
02:38:40,400 --> 02:38:41,920
Speaker 2: axe to grind and by the way, the other thing

3157
02:38:41,959 --> 02:38:45,400
Speaker 2: really quick. I'll just say I get that in certain cases,

3158
02:38:45,440 --> 02:38:48,520
Speaker 2: you can't speak on the record if you're a former player.

3159
02:38:48,600 --> 02:38:51,160
Speaker 2: If you're not playing college football, put your name on

3160
02:38:51,200 --> 02:38:53,120
Speaker 2: it or shut up. Like if you're afraid you're gonna

3161
02:38:53,120 --> 02:38:55,560
Speaker 2: lose your scholarship, nobody will sign you to the next place.

3162
02:38:55,560 --> 02:38:57,920
Speaker 2: That's one thing, But go ahead and put your name

3163
02:38:57,959 --> 02:39:00,440
Speaker 2: on it. If you're out of football altogether, speak of out.

3164
02:39:00,640 --> 02:39:02,880
Speaker 2: We are out. Jason. Heck of a show. If you

3165
02:39:02,920 --> 02:39:06,280
