0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 1>Frank Staffle Greg Sussman. We're here talk some some action

0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:16.160
<v Speaker 1>this hour. Jia Zakas joins us at the Reachenty excited

0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:19.440
<v Speaker 1>about that. Always excited to have Virginia zakasan Greg. We

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 1>gotta get some updates on some of these some of

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 1>these NFL injuries, players that are coming back. Carson Wentz.

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I love Carson Wentz, so I want to hear the latest.

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:29.480
<v Speaker 1>I have a feeling it's probably not going to be

0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:32.319
<v Speaker 1>the most positive outlook for Carson Wentz and of course

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Todd Gurley. I mean, you have to invest a late

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:37.840
<v Speaker 1>first early second round pick on a what is the

0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty six year old running back who has authoritis in

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:43.040
<v Speaker 1>his knee. There's lots of worry about there. So we'll

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.480
<v Speaker 1>find out a bunch from Virginia Zakas of inside injuries

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 1>coming up at about twenty minutes from now. Very excited

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 1>about some of the players that we were just talking

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 1>about in our one in our fantasy hour before we

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:58.040
<v Speaker 1>get to this baseball stuff. I really wanted to get into, um,

0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I want to get into the the NBA. Is you

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.320
<v Speaker 1>heard it in the updates a few moments ago? Uh?

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>The Contractawhite letters sign really was just like picking Steve

0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Bomber and the Clippers just put him over his leg

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:10.239
<v Speaker 1>and he's like and saying, You're do whatever I want,

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.519
<v Speaker 1>Paul Georget me, Paul George, I want this. You're giving

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:14.600
<v Speaker 1>me this, and that includes a contract which is literally

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 1>just two years an opt out. Crazy. How do you

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>argue it? Though? It's how can you argue with it?

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.239
<v Speaker 1>If if Kawhi Leonard came to the Knicks and said that,

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>what would you say? Greg? Sure of course want exactly.

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.480
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be awesome when the summer one. What everybody's

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 1>coming in the next babe, Let's let's start the campaign now.

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>Janie and Kauai to the Knicks one. That's the latest,

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 1>h Greg? Do the do NBA players have too much power?

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:44.839
<v Speaker 1>It's a constant No. I love it, back and forth.

0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.239
<v Speaker 1>I love it. People talk about it a lot. You

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:50.880
<v Speaker 1>heard about it with Kevin Durant, Brooklyn Nets found out

0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:54.320
<v Speaker 1>that he was signing with them via Instagram. They didn't

0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 1>even know. Is it crazy? No? I love it. I

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 1>love it the players of power because who was performing

0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 1>players play And I've said this a lot with the

0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.359
<v Speaker 1>NFL and the NFL owners and all this fight, like

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 1>the players have no leverage in the NFL with a

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.919
<v Speaker 1>franchise tag and the owners cutting them and no guaranteed money,

0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.959
<v Speaker 1>and it's frustrating. And when they had these holdouts that

0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 1>the Melvin Gordon thing we talked about before, like Melan

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Gordon's holding out. This sucks when I get why Melvin

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Gordon's holding out because as someone that plays his position,

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of carries on him from college that

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.119
<v Speaker 1>if it doesn't work out, he'll never make the big contract.

0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:32.480
<v Speaker 1>I get it. So the NBA, they have leverage and

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 1>they use it. Kauai was very honest. He wants to

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 1>go to LA the whole time, and he's like, you

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:38.720
<v Speaker 1>know what, I want my friends to play with me.

0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:43.000
<v Speaker 1>You want me, you get him? And Steve Bomber said, Okay,

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 1>you want me. You can be two years in an option. Okay, Yeah,

0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 1>the contract doesn't matter. Greg flags fly forever. We just

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:56.960
<v Speaker 1>saw as they take a risk. They trade for Kawhi Leonard.

0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Everyone knew that he was going to enter free agency

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 1>after this past season they won a championship, if the

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Clippers won a championship in the next two years, and

0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 1>he opts out, nobody's going to care a championship. Absolutely,

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.560
<v Speaker 1>And here's the other thing, leverage. The Kevin Durant story's

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:18.160
<v Speaker 1>crazy from Ryan Windhors. It's wild that Kevin Durant, this

0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.000
<v Speaker 1>is something I will do a signing trade. So you

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 1>get D'Angel Russell back, and I go like, all right,

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Durant for D'Angel Russell. No, no no, no, I'm worth

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 1>more than D'Angel Russell. You're kidding me. So he forced

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Golden State to get something for her services, forced them

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.240
<v Speaker 1>to give up a first round pick. Greg, you can't

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:40.159
<v Speaker 1>make this stuff up. We went right from the hero

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Durant who sacrificed his body for the Warriors. He

0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 1>was a martyr. He went down with the ship. Greg.

0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 1>He knew that there was a chance he could tear

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 1>his achilles, a very good chance at that, and he

0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:54.919
<v Speaker 1>took that chance, and he put it all on the

0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.560
<v Speaker 1>line for the chance for the Warriors to come back

0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 1>in that series, and who knows, maybe if he was

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 1>they would have won that series. They probably would have,

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 1>But he went from that hero. He changed his image

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.159
<v Speaker 1>for a whole two weeks. Greg. Because now we get

0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:14.599
<v Speaker 1>this report from Brian Windhorst and Kevin Durant says, I

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 1>will not be traded for just D'Angelo Russell because I

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:22.159
<v Speaker 1>am better than him. This is more of the same

0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:26.680
<v Speaker 1>stuff that we've gone through with Kevin Durant in years past.

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Greg the burner accounts, the sensitivity. He can't handle criticism.

0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.760
<v Speaker 1>He's got to make these Twitter burner accounts to respond

0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:37.880
<v Speaker 1>to people as if he's like Durant's biggest fan. Why

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:41.360
<v Speaker 1>is everyone so sensitive nowadays? Greg? Really does he does?

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.120
<v Speaker 1>He have that big of an ego that like that's

0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 1>his legacy. I can't be traded for D'Angelo Russell. What

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.880
<v Speaker 1>are we doing here? What are we doing? I mean?

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 1>And it's hilarious that like he had to get that

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:58.600
<v Speaker 1>out of the Warriors because I mean, if the reports

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 1>are true that he was angry with that, I mean,

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty you know, that's a nice little middle finger

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.280
<v Speaker 1>on the way out. Huh. It cost me a year

0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:07.880
<v Speaker 1>of my career. I might not be the best. I

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 1>might not be the player I was before. Hey, how

0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 1>about you give up a first round pick if you're

0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna sign, sign and trade me away for Daniel Russell.

0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:17.640
<v Speaker 1>By the way, I believe that if the pick is

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:20.520
<v Speaker 1>read this, it picks in the top twenty, it converts

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.599
<v Speaker 1>like a second round pick in this major protection on

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.360
<v Speaker 1>this pick. They didn't have to give it up. That's hilarious.

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:29.040
<v Speaker 1>It's wild. But to answer you initial question, it does

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.400
<v Speaker 1>not bother me in the least. And the players have

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.720
<v Speaker 1>this power like they are before, and they are what

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.400
<v Speaker 1>people go to pay, not the owners. That James dol

0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:40.640
<v Speaker 1>has enough power, It's true. I can't really argue it.

0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:45.400
<v Speaker 1>And basketball with other than any other sport, the players

0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 1>have the most power, which is great. Yeah, which is awesome.

0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.080
<v Speaker 1>I I gotta tell you, Greg, I really love that

0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:55.039
<v Speaker 1>the way the NBA is shaping up right now, because

0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 1>it seems like for the first time in a long time.

0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:58.520
<v Speaker 1>While we just spoke about the Clippers being the favorites

0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 1>for the championship, it seems like, for the first time

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.640
<v Speaker 1>in a long time that the NBA is wide open

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:08.200
<v Speaker 1>right now. We don't have super teams. We have a

0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 1>lot of duos, and you know, once Kiddie Thompson is healthy,

0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.280
<v Speaker 1>then I guess you can consider the Warriors of super

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:16.560
<v Speaker 1>team again. But at least for this upcoming season, we

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.120
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of duo's. It's it's Paul George and

0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Kawhi Leonard. It's Lebron James and it's Anthony Davis. It's

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Steph Curry and Draymond Green. And yeah they have Danceel Russell,

0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 1>but we'll see how that works out. It's James Harden

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's Chris Paul. There's not really any super teams.

0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Seems like the NBA is wide open for the first

0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 1>time in a long time. I'm excited about it. I

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 1>like it. We're gonna take a break here when we

0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 1>come back on the BFFs. He wants like baseball, he

<v Speaker 1>So he's Frank, I'm Greg. Virginia's Hockets coming up next

0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:57.000
<v Speaker 1>and rote you to look at the home run Durby

0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:59.400
<v Speaker 1>last time. We did our Action Hour on Monday and

0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.680
<v Speaker 1>we draft did and things are going really well for

0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:05.640
<v Speaker 1>me until the finals. Yeah, you had three guys in

0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.880
<v Speaker 1>the final four and I was just left with little

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Pete Alonso who came through in the clutch the Polar Bear.

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Let's go, Greggy. I'm sorry man, you had VLADIMR. Guerrero Jr.

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.480
<v Speaker 1>And I mean he hit nine home runs of the

0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:23.200
<v Speaker 1>night and he ended up not winning the home run Derby.

0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:27.160
<v Speaker 1>It's basically Josh Hamilton all over again. So I'm sorry, Bud.

0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>At least he put on the show. You know, honesty,

0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:33.600
<v Speaker 1>you know honesty. I don't think Ladim Vladimig Gerreo should

0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 1>have been in the finals. Stayed by this, and I

0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:38.080
<v Speaker 1>know Alex Hasano agrees with me. Why is that because

0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:41.800
<v Speaker 1>John Peterson met him on Admittedly I had a basketball game.

0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:43.680
<v Speaker 1>I didn't get to watch it live, So Alex we

0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 1>talked about this on Tuesday morning. I walked in there

0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.719
<v Speaker 1>and they were counting all of Jock's home runs, right,

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:54.400
<v Speaker 1>they go thirty, he got thirty, he got just it

0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:56.559
<v Speaker 1>up to be lad and they go, oh wait, no,

0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.440
<v Speaker 1>no it's not. And our best bet, and our best

0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 1>bet on that show would have been correct, which we

0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 1>said our favorite for the finals was to be Peter

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 1>lawnso versus Jack Peterson. The irony and all that, though,

0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:14.360
<v Speaker 1>is if Jock went to the finals, he probably would

0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:18.480
<v Speaker 1>have beat that was getting I think I think of

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 1>John Peterson gets there, he beats Alonso probably right, he

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.160
<v Speaker 1>got the lefty and he's not He's honestly not swing

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:28.120
<v Speaker 1>nearly as hard as Lad. Yeah, and what we said

0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:31.880
<v Speaker 1>the other day while previewing that is that Cleveland. The

0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:33.560
<v Speaker 1>way that Cleveland Ballpark is set up is that it

0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:37.480
<v Speaker 1>favored a left handed bat, and we thought that it

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:41.040
<v Speaker 1>would favor Jock Peterson and it clearly did so. Yeah,

0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:44.200
<v Speaker 1>and and Vlad was putting on a show and hitting

0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:48.559
<v Speaker 1>so many home runs honestly probably cost it cost him winning.

0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:50.560
<v Speaker 1>I know that he had to go into like whatever

0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.280
<v Speaker 1>the overtime with Jack Peterson, so he needed the home

0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:55.640
<v Speaker 1>runs then, but he didn't need twenty seven in the

0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:57.880
<v Speaker 1>first round. So he spended so much energy and by

0:10:57.880 --> 0:10:59.520
<v Speaker 1>the time he got to the finals, he just didn't

0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:01.800
<v Speaker 1>have as much left. And if you look at Flat,

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's a the world I'll uses husky. He's

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.880
<v Speaker 1>a husky, your boy, So yeah, he kind of he

0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:09.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of wore down there, and Pete Alonzo was good

0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:11.480
<v Speaker 1>to go. I will say it was pretty cool that

0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:13.720
<v Speaker 1>it came down to like one awesome rookie against another

0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:18.240
<v Speaker 1>awesome rookie and they get a million dollar whatever prize

0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:21.280
<v Speaker 1>for winning, even though I think that they're both making

0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.720
<v Speaker 1>like a minimum amount that you can in baseball because

0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:26.240
<v Speaker 1>their rookies. So that was pretty cool. Yeah, shout out

0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.160
<v Speaker 1>to Pete Alonzo, thins guys. Let mesk you a quick question,

0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:30.080
<v Speaker 1>of course. Um so, a lot of people were upset

0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:35.480
<v Speaker 1>with Pete beating Vlad because Vlady, do you think do

0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:37.720
<v Speaker 1>you like the new time rule four minutes as opposed

0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:39.160
<v Speaker 1>to the outru because I feel like the out rule

0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 1>would have prevented Vlad from ripping his arm out of

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.319
<v Speaker 1>his socket. Well, the same thing happened with the out

0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.640
<v Speaker 1>rule though. Josh Hamilton a seven home runs when it

0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:50.319
<v Speaker 1>was the out rule in Yankee Stadium, just nuts or whatever,

0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:51.720
<v Speaker 1>however many he was, I don't know if it wasent.

0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:54.400
<v Speaker 1>That was like the first time ever doing something like that,

0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:55.959
<v Speaker 1>and now it's like every year we're gonna expect and

0:11:56.559 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 1>ven Josh Hamiltons lost with with the ten out rule

0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:02.400
<v Speaker 1>he had, you know, he broke the record. He was

0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:04.600
<v Speaker 1>just mashing home runs in the Yankee Stadium. And then

0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:06.360
<v Speaker 1>I believe he went up against Justin Moreno in the

0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:09.360
<v Speaker 1>finals Greg and he lost. So I think if you're

0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:12.400
<v Speaker 1>nitpicking here, I mean you can find flaws in both setups,

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Which one do you like better? For me? I kind

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:16.840
<v Speaker 1>of like the four minutes because you're because people are there,

0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.880
<v Speaker 1>there's more angst, like there's more build up for it. Too, Like,

0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:21.840
<v Speaker 1>if it's coming down to the y oh my god,

0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:23.880
<v Speaker 1>he has to hit three more home runs in the

0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 1>next fifteen seconds in order to tie Vladimir Guerrero. That

0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:29.560
<v Speaker 1>aspect of it is pretty cool. So I agree with you.

0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:31.880
<v Speaker 1>I think I like the timeline a little bit more so. Well,

0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.720
<v Speaker 1>my point with the time limit was people are for

0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:36.680
<v Speaker 1>the show, right, Like people want to see as many

0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.640
<v Speaker 1>home runs hit as possible, and there's a lot of

0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:41.880
<v Speaker 1>this gives the fans what they want, and I think

0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:44.240
<v Speaker 1>that's what the whole celebration should be about, giving the

0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.200
<v Speaker 1>fans what they want ultimately. But then you can't have

0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:51.439
<v Speaker 1>people being upset that Pete one hen he definitely need him,

0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:53.440
<v Speaker 1>no question about it. I'm upset because they shouldn't have

0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:57.920
<v Speaker 1>been him versus Lady, But but I am not upset

0:12:57.920 --> 0:12:59.600
<v Speaker 1>the Pete one he won fren Square. Yeah, And I

0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:01.800
<v Speaker 1>think a lot of people who are upset that vlad

0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:05.240
<v Speaker 1>lost are probably just Vladimir Guerrero Junior fanboys. There's a

0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of them out there. I mean, I'm probably not

0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:11.079
<v Speaker 1>on that level. I'm not a fanboy. I like Vladimir

0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Garo Junior. I want him to succeed Vladimir Garreo Senior

0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:17.120
<v Speaker 1>was probably my favorite baseball player growing up, So I'm

0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:18.679
<v Speaker 1>learning for vlad Jr. But I think a lot of

0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:21.480
<v Speaker 1>people who were sad that he lost are probably just

0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:25.680
<v Speaker 1>his biggest fans. Greig and the stadium. Let's come on,

0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:29.880
<v Speaker 1>the Mets needs something. He needs something, Greg, they got

0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:31.800
<v Speaker 1>petelns and I'm sure they're gonna they're gonna try and

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:33.480
<v Speaker 1>spin that. They're gonna be like but but we have

0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:35.160
<v Speaker 1>the home run derby Champs, So what who cares? We

0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't make the playoffs? Set the home run derby Champ.

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Happy that you bring this up because I've never not

0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:43.280
<v Speaker 1>never Mets fans Twitter. It's the most Mets thing ever.

0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Was freaking out about this. Let's not forget that we

0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:49.400
<v Speaker 1>were you know, we had an eighty five and a

0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:51.640
<v Speaker 1>half over under for wins this year. We were expected

0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.400
<v Speaker 1>to compete in the National League East, something we are

0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:57.720
<v Speaker 1>not doing right now. We won the home run derby. Greg,

0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 1>d oh pete, Oh pete, we got it. We did it.

0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Hey did it? Oh my god, I diet it. But

0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:05.160
<v Speaker 1>but there has to be a fine line too, right

0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:08.480
<v Speaker 1>because they have to be allowed to celebrate. It's not

0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:10.800
<v Speaker 1>that we're saying Mets fans can't be excited that Pete

0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:14.199
<v Speaker 1>Alonso won the home run Derby. I think at the time, Greg,

0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.960
<v Speaker 1>it's all right to be excited about it. But all right,

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, after the night of the home run Derby,

0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:23.440
<v Speaker 1>I think it's probably like morning they were so like

0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:25.600
<v Speaker 1>two years ago and Aaron Judge won a home run

0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Derbies rookie year. Were you like that? Not only I was,

0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.320
<v Speaker 1>I was pretty excited about it, but at that time,

0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:35.640
<v Speaker 1>the Yankees were also competing for a wild card spot

0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:40.200
<v Speaker 1>and they went farther than I'm not listen, I'm not

0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:43.240
<v Speaker 1>killing the Mets fans for being happy. Like you could

0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:45.120
<v Speaker 1>be happy at the time of it, but I don't

0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:46.840
<v Speaker 1>think I was like that. That's reality said back in.

0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.440
<v Speaker 1>You gotta remember the home run Derby champ does not

0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.280
<v Speaker 1>change all the failures that come along with the New

0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:57.640
<v Speaker 1>York Mets this season. To me, it's ridiculous. I'm sorry,

0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I agree with what are you gonna excited for? Pete Alonzo?

0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.200
<v Speaker 1>The game itself last night? Did you watch your game

0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.400
<v Speaker 1>two nights ago? Rather, I didn't watch a lot of it.

0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.040
<v Speaker 1>I think I watched. I checked in here and there,

0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.320
<v Speaker 1>I watched the first ending with like Freddie Freeman miked up.

0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:17.560
<v Speaker 1>I thought miking up hitters was very stupid. I didn't

0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:19.920
<v Speaker 1>like that aspect. I like when the micup fielders, like,

0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty cool. You're here guys calling people off and

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.280
<v Speaker 1>you're having conversations with them. That's fine. I mean, when

0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:27.760
<v Speaker 1>you're in the outfield, you're board okay. But when you're

0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:29.640
<v Speaker 1>talking to Freddy Freeman, he's trying to swing it back

0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.880
<v Speaker 1>against Justin Verlander. Come on, now, what are we doing.

0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:36.040
<v Speaker 1>I understand it's an exhibition game, but it's hard enough

0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.160
<v Speaker 1>to try and square one up against Justin Verlinder. It's

0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:40.320
<v Speaker 1>probably even harder when Joe Buck is in your ear

0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:43.000
<v Speaker 1>talking like this, Freddie Freeman, what can you tell us

0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:45.920
<v Speaker 1>about that nasty twelve six curveball that Justin verlanderd just

0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:48.560
<v Speaker 1>gave you? Oh? Snap, you just swung and missed that

0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.440
<v Speaker 1>the next one because you weren't ready. I could do

0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:54.560
<v Speaker 1>without that. I loved it. I mean, you love anything

0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:57.240
<v Speaker 1>that Joe Buck does. So let's get that. Let's let's

0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.760
<v Speaker 1>clear the air here. You're probably Joe Buck's biggest fan.

0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Book is an underrated announcer. Still despite being the lead

0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:05.000
<v Speaker 1>anouncer of foxter by entire life he's underrated number one.

0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:08.040
<v Speaker 1>You can also agree that you like him more because

0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:13.320
<v Speaker 1>of brock Buyer. You probably like him more as a

0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:18.200
<v Speaker 1>broadcaster now because of what he's done on brock Buyer admitted, correct,

0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.360
<v Speaker 1>So you're biased. No, yes you are. I wasn't even

0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:22.960
<v Speaker 1>talking about Joe Buck, dude. I'm just talking about like

0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:24.920
<v Speaker 1>the Mike's like being able to like talk to these guys.

0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:26.840
<v Speaker 1>While their play was awesome, hearing them talk to each

0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:28.840
<v Speaker 1>other was awesome. Yeah, I like doing it with feelers.

0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.480
<v Speaker 1>I just don't like bothering Freddie Freeman's trying to swing

0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.320
<v Speaker 1>a bat agains stuffing awome talking to a hitter. I

0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:36.080
<v Speaker 1>could be wrong. Did they make up any of the pictures?

0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I didn't see it, So then you got to do

0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.080
<v Speaker 1>it both ways. I agree. You can't only mike up

0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:44.600
<v Speaker 1>and and throw them off while they're trying to hit

0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:46.360
<v Speaker 1>against some of the best pictures in the world, and

0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:48.880
<v Speaker 1>not mike up the pictures when they're trying to face

0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:50.640
<v Speaker 1>some of the best hitters. Could not agree. It's gotta

0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:52.960
<v Speaker 1>go both weights, absolutely, although I wouldn't want it. I

0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:55.160
<v Speaker 1>don't you don't have to make up hitters and pictures. Yes,

0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:57.440
<v Speaker 1>you do. This is mike up the fielders, so much

0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:59.120
<v Speaker 1>fun with the guys. I'm gonna try to hit this

0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:01.800
<v Speaker 1>fastball like well, it makes its awesome. It makes it

0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:04.080
<v Speaker 1>even more of an exhibition game, Greg, and I guess

0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.520
<v Speaker 1>that's what is exactly what it is is an exhibition game.

0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:10.600
<v Speaker 1>This is a hot take. Nobody agrees with me. I

0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:12.800
<v Speaker 1>like when the All Star Game determined who had home

0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:14.800
<v Speaker 1>field advantage in the world. I agree, Frank, that is

0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:18.200
<v Speaker 1>a big stipulation that needs to be said. That's horrible.

0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:23.160
<v Speaker 1>I understand most people disagree with me vehemently. Here's my point.

0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:26.520
<v Speaker 1>I like, when it matters, singlething, single sense point. Can

0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:28.080
<v Speaker 1>we make it matter for something else? Can we do

0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Can we give the winners like a bonus or something

0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:33.639
<v Speaker 1>money than they get money? There needs to be more

0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:37.200
<v Speaker 1>incentive to it is an exhibition Number one, number two

0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:40.440
<v Speaker 1>imbers two. When you have a rule, they try harder.

0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:43.800
<v Speaker 1>When you have a rule than every player player every

0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:45.639
<v Speaker 1>team has the All Star Game, you cannot have it

0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.080
<v Speaker 1>represent home field advantage when you're because everyone's gonna get

0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:49.679
<v Speaker 1>in there right for the most part. When you have

0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:52.440
<v Speaker 1>John Buck catching instead of whoever the top catcher was

0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:55.560
<v Speaker 1>with Joe Mauer at the time, designing a home feel

0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:59.359
<v Speaker 1>advantage that John buck is at the plate. That can't happen.

0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, come on, Craig, you're nit picking one player

0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:06.680
<v Speaker 1>out of how many that they have to have exams

0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:09.960
<v Speaker 1>and stuff, but the best players are still starting for

0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:13.240
<v Speaker 1>the most part and it cannot pay. Yeah, but they're

0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:16.760

0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:01.399
<v Speaker 1>to get me riled up and it was successful at it? So, Greg,

0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:04.000
<v Speaker 1>what should be the new incentive for the All Star Game? Is? No?

0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Do you not need? Why not? So? What do you

0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:09.879
<v Speaker 1>play for Why do you even have it? Cancel it?

0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:12.679
<v Speaker 1>Cancel it, give a week off. Why do we have

0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:15.719
<v Speaker 1>an NBA All Star Game? What do you whoa? Why? Well?

0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:18.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean basketball is more entertaining than baseball, just overall,

0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:22.840
<v Speaker 1>in a vacuum, there's more entertainment value to me, at

0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:26.800
<v Speaker 1>least in basketball generally. I'm fine. Cancel all of them.

0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.080
<v Speaker 1>If there's no insensive, cancel all of them. Why are

0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:33.320
<v Speaker 1>we playing them? Then? What are we doing? Sure, you're

0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:36.000
<v Speaker 1>right that having it decide the home field advantage of

0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:39.840
<v Speaker 1>the World Series probably is too much incentive, But I

0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:43.919
<v Speaker 1>feel like there should be something involved. There is money,

0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:47.920
<v Speaker 1>is there though? How much? You know what? I don't

0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:50.480
<v Speaker 1>have you play in the Kickball All Star Game? We

0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:53.960
<v Speaker 1>don't have one. If you have Kickball tonight, No have

0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Dodgeball tonight. I'm actually off next week. Kick Why don't

0:20:58.520 --> 0:21:01.119
<v Speaker 1>the game for like two weeks? Sorry? But that's right?

0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Or no though? Four no, see what happens in dodge

0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:09.280
<v Speaker 1>ball to also undefeated on the year. It's our friend Virginia.

0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Zaka is from inside Injuries. It's in Virginia, you guys.

0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:15.920
<v Speaker 1>It's going really really well. We're happy talking some football here,

0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:19.240
<v Speaker 1>and I wanted to get into what we're talking about earlier.

0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:22.480
<v Speaker 1>The biggest story when it comes to fantasy football is

0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:26.040
<v Speaker 1>the status of Todd Gurley, who everything said he was

0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:30.520
<v Speaker 1>fine except his play where he didn't seem fine. And

0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:33.000
<v Speaker 1>now every question we get has to do with Todd Gurley.

0:21:33.000 --> 0:21:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Every question we have is for Todd Gurley. And yesterday

0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:38.960
<v Speaker 1>the latest news was, well, see how it goes when

0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I get out there. I'm like, what what do you mean?

0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:42.760
<v Speaker 1>We'll see how it goes when we get out there.

0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Like what we heard rumors that his knees Arthur Scott

0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:48.440
<v Speaker 1>is arthritic. This is our first or second round pick, greg,

0:21:48.520 --> 0:21:51.359
<v Speaker 1>we can't just base. We'll see what happens when we

0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:55.320
<v Speaker 1>get out there on our first or second round page. Reginia,

0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:57.240
<v Speaker 1>can you give us some inside of Todd Gurley please?

0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely so. Every thing we're hearing is in line with

0:22:01.800 --> 0:22:04.719
<v Speaker 1>what we said late last season that there's likely some

0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:07.639
<v Speaker 1>cartilage damage in his knee. UM. This is pretty common

0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:09.879
<v Speaker 1>when a guy tears their a c l um like

0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Gurley did back in UM. He hasn't really had any

0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:15.360
<v Speaker 1>major knee issues since then, but of course he aggravated

0:22:15.400 --> 0:22:18.399
<v Speaker 1>it last year Um, you know, if he's dealing with

0:22:18.520 --> 0:22:22.080
<v Speaker 1>arthritis or other you know, cartilage issues. UM, this is

0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:25.120
<v Speaker 1>something that's gonna bother him this season and throughout his career. Um.

0:22:25.440 --> 0:22:27.119
<v Speaker 1>He can have some very good weeks, he might have

0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:28.880
<v Speaker 1>a stretch of a month where he does really well,

0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:32.399
<v Speaker 1>but it's very easy to aggravate. UM. It takes a

0:22:32.440 --> 0:22:36.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of pain management throughout the way, and he's he's

0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:38.639
<v Speaker 1>likely to miss some time here and there, and this

0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:41.960
<v Speaker 1>is something that could shorten his career. UM could knock

0:22:42.040 --> 0:22:44.600
<v Speaker 1>him out of a game early. It's just there's really

0:22:44.600 --> 0:22:46.359
<v Speaker 1>no way to predict how his knee is going to

0:22:46.440 --> 0:22:48.760
<v Speaker 1>respond other than the fact that we know that it's

0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:52.680
<v Speaker 1>going to be aggravated at some point. I know, our

0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:57.400
<v Speaker 1>long term BFF, Michael Florio greg is advocating for people

0:22:57.440 --> 0:23:00.320
<v Speaker 1>to take Todd Gurley at his current price, which is,

0:23:00.359 --> 0:23:02.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, at the end of the first round, early

0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:03.520
<v Speaker 1>second round. I mean, we're gonna have to talk to

0:23:03.560 --> 0:23:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Mike about it, because I mean, even if you get

0:23:05.480 --> 0:23:07.959
<v Speaker 1>seventy five to eighty percent of what Todd Gurley has

0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:10.040
<v Speaker 1>been the past couple of years from my fantasy perspective,

0:23:10.400 --> 0:23:13.160
<v Speaker 1>that'll be awesome. But he's still at such a high

0:23:13.240 --> 0:23:16.080
<v Speaker 1>risk of re injury, you know, getting shut down because

0:23:16.080 --> 0:23:18.160
<v Speaker 1>of this knee. There's just a lot of moving parts,

0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:20.600
<v Speaker 1>right You can't win your fantasy drafts in the first

0:23:20.920 --> 0:23:24.480
<v Speaker 1>round or two, but you can certainly lose it. It's true, man,

0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:27.040
<v Speaker 1>if this guy gets ends up getting shut down at

0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:29.800
<v Speaker 1>some point or he's not nearly the Todd Gurley he

0:23:29.880 --> 0:23:31.720
<v Speaker 1>was of years past, I mean, it's just a lot

0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:34.280
<v Speaker 1>to invest your late first, early second round pick in

0:23:34.400 --> 0:23:36.560
<v Speaker 1>right now. So I'm a little bit more worried about

0:23:36.600 --> 0:23:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Todd Gurley. I don't know if I can draft him

0:23:38.480 --> 0:23:41.879
<v Speaker 1>where he's currently going in drafts. Virginia. I want to

0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:46.359
<v Speaker 1>ask you about another player who impacts a lot of

0:23:46.920 --> 0:23:49.879
<v Speaker 1>pretty much the entire Carolina Panthers offense, and that's Cam Newton,

0:23:50.119 --> 0:23:51.920
<v Speaker 1>because you know, I'm a little bit more worried about

0:23:51.960 --> 0:23:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Christian McCaffrey because I worry about Cam Newton and the shoulders.

0:23:55.840 --> 0:23:58.639
<v Speaker 1>So he had Arthur's copic shoulder surgery in the off season,

0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:01.560
<v Speaker 1>which they are label as a clean up. What's the

0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:03.960
<v Speaker 1>latest that you have on Cam Newton? Is this something

0:24:04.000 --> 0:24:05.760
<v Speaker 1>that can flare up? Is he going to be good

0:24:05.760 --> 0:24:08.159
<v Speaker 1>to go by week one of the season. Is he

0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:10.200
<v Speaker 1>good to go for a training camp? Is it similar

0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:11.800
<v Speaker 1>to Andrew Luck. I just feel like there's a million

0:24:11.880 --> 0:24:15.159
<v Speaker 1>questions when it comes to came noon. Yeah, there's a

0:24:15.160 --> 0:24:17.720
<v Speaker 1>lot going on here. UM. He's had two shoulder surgeries

0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:20.240
<v Speaker 1>now in the last three years, which is incredibly concerning

0:24:20.280 --> 0:24:23.119
<v Speaker 1>for a quarterback. UM. The first one was to repair

0:24:23.200 --> 0:24:26.879
<v Speaker 1>his rotator cuff. This one sounds a little bit more minor,

0:24:27.280 --> 0:24:29.719
<v Speaker 1>but because it's his second shoulder surgery, it is a

0:24:29.800 --> 0:24:33.359
<v Speaker 1>huge concern. UM. They called it a cleanup procedure. I

0:24:33.400 --> 0:24:35.520
<v Speaker 1>suspect it's a little bit more than just, you know,

0:24:35.840 --> 0:24:38.919
<v Speaker 1>a very basic cleanup procedure. UM. They also made a

0:24:38.960 --> 0:24:42.199
<v Speaker 1>comment that there wasn't as much cartilage damage as they

0:24:42.200 --> 0:24:45.280
<v Speaker 1>thought there might be, which sounds like a good thing.

0:24:45.280 --> 0:24:47.639
<v Speaker 1>But it does indicate that there is some cartilage damage

0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:50.919
<v Speaker 1>in his shoulder. UM. So I am a little concerned

0:24:50.920 --> 0:24:53.920
<v Speaker 1>about him this season. He's been throwing. UM. He's expected

0:24:53.920 --> 0:24:55.879
<v Speaker 1>to be a full participant training camp, which is all

0:24:55.920 --> 0:24:58.000
<v Speaker 1>good news. But I think this is one of those

0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:00.439
<v Speaker 1>situations where he's going to start off the season pretty strong.

0:25:00.760 --> 0:25:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Everyone's gonna think he's back, He's good to go. He's

0:25:03.040 --> 0:25:05.480
<v Speaker 1>got his strength and his accuracy back. But then at

0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:07.560
<v Speaker 1>some point he's going to take that one big hit,

0:25:07.920 --> 0:25:09.679
<v Speaker 1>or he's going to do that one little movement that

0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:12.120
<v Speaker 1>aggravates his shoulder, and we're gonna be kind of back

0:25:12.119 --> 0:25:14.560
<v Speaker 1>where we began once again. So I don't think he's

0:25:14.600 --> 0:25:16.840
<v Speaker 1>someone you can trust throughout the season. But I do

0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:18.959
<v Speaker 1>think he could start off the season well and have

0:25:19.000 --> 0:25:22.400
<v Speaker 1>some good moments, just won't be consistent and Greg Cam

0:25:22.920 --> 0:25:25.520
<v Speaker 1>could be prone to some of those big hits because

0:25:25.560 --> 0:25:27.480
<v Speaker 1>he likes to run the football. I was gonna where

0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:29.200
<v Speaker 1>all of his value comes really is in his legs.

0:25:29.240 --> 0:25:30.560
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot of the story I think of Cam

0:25:30.600 --> 0:25:32.399
<v Speaker 1>Newton is down the stretch second half the year, he

0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:34.680
<v Speaker 1>does tire out because he takes those big hits. He

0:25:35.040 --> 0:25:37.600
<v Speaker 1>as he goes through the goal line, he gets pounded, absolutely,

0:25:37.760 --> 0:25:40.400
<v Speaker 1>because why risk it when the quarterback position is so deep?

0:25:40.440 --> 0:25:42.879
<v Speaker 1>You know creat but hit the upside with Cam Newton

0:25:42.920 --> 0:25:44.800
<v Speaker 1>is just so high. That's why you risk it. Because

0:25:44.800 --> 0:25:48.040
<v Speaker 1>he does so much as a runners. If he doesn't

0:25:48.119 --> 0:25:51.000
<v Speaker 1>run as much, what's his fantasy value look like. That's

0:25:51.000 --> 0:25:53.000
<v Speaker 1>why I have question marks. That's fair, but you don't

0:25:53.000 --> 0:25:54.280
<v Speaker 1>want to go with Cam Newton. There's a couple of

0:25:54.320 --> 0:25:58.440
<v Speaker 1>different directions you could go in, and that includes Carson Wentz,

0:25:58.600 --> 0:26:01.520
<v Speaker 1>who missed the second have of last year with an

0:26:01.520 --> 0:26:04.280
<v Speaker 1>injury after Terry's a c L the season before. I

0:26:04.320 --> 0:26:06.200
<v Speaker 1>don't want to call Carson Wentz injury Prome. And then

0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:08.919
<v Speaker 1>now that's two season ending injuries in a row. The

0:26:08.920 --> 0:26:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Eagles have moved on from Nick Foles. This is Carson

0:26:11.200 --> 0:26:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Wentz his team. How can serd we should we be

0:26:13.600 --> 0:26:18.320
<v Speaker 1>long term about Carson Wentz's health? So, WinCE I was

0:26:18.359 --> 0:26:21.240
<v Speaker 1>diagnosed with a stress fracture in his back. UM. Stress

0:26:21.240 --> 0:26:24.000
<v Speaker 1>fracture is kind of a strange term to call an

0:26:24.040 --> 0:26:26.800
<v Speaker 1>injury directly to the spine. This is more than likely

0:26:26.840 --> 0:26:29.680
<v Speaker 1>to one of the little pieces that sticks off the spine. UM.

0:26:29.880 --> 0:26:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Good news and bad news here. The good news is

0:26:32.680 --> 0:26:34.960
<v Speaker 1>um he should be fully recovered by the time the

0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:37.639
<v Speaker 1>season starts, that fractures should be fully healed. But if

0:26:37.680 --> 0:26:39.720
<v Speaker 1>we're accurate in saying that this really is a stress

0:26:39.760 --> 0:26:43.119
<v Speaker 1>fracture UM not directly to the spine, then there is

0:26:43.160 --> 0:26:46.360
<v Speaker 1>a very high risk of re injury. UM. Again, kind

0:26:46.359 --> 0:26:48.400
<v Speaker 1>of like Cam Newton, one big hit and it could

0:26:48.480 --> 0:26:51.000
<v Speaker 1>very quickly cause another fracture and his back to either

0:26:51.000 --> 0:26:54.680
<v Speaker 1>the same location or a similar location. So, um, when

0:26:54.720 --> 0:26:57.840
<v Speaker 1>looking at his back easily being reaggravated, and then you know,

0:26:58.040 --> 0:27:00.040
<v Speaker 1>still his knee. He tore his A c L and

0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:03.119
<v Speaker 1>his L c L in tween. Well, he really should

0:27:03.160 --> 0:27:06.280
<v Speaker 1>be pretty much fully recovered. His his knee is not

0:27:06.320 --> 0:27:08.080
<v Speaker 1>going to be the same as it was pre injury.

0:27:08.240 --> 0:27:11.200
<v Speaker 1>So I do think, um, we're showing that he's a

0:27:11.280 --> 0:27:14.120
<v Speaker 1>high injury risk right now. He might get back into

0:27:14.160 --> 0:27:16.920
<v Speaker 1>that elevated category by week one if he's looking pretty

0:27:16.920 --> 0:27:19.000
<v Speaker 1>good through the preseason. Um, and he can be a

0:27:19.000 --> 0:27:21.200
<v Speaker 1>full participant in His back wasn't holding him back at all.

0:27:21.640 --> 0:27:23.919
<v Speaker 1>But there's going to continue to be some concerns with

0:27:23.960 --> 0:27:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Wentz um now with with two bonny parts his knee

0:27:26.560 --> 0:27:30.240
<v Speaker 1>and his back going forward, And that sucks great because

0:27:30.280 --> 0:27:32.879
<v Speaker 1>you know that I love Carson Wentz this year, but

0:27:33.160 --> 0:27:35.840
<v Speaker 1>sounds a lot like Cam Newton, at least in terms

0:27:35.840 --> 0:27:37.600
<v Speaker 1>of the risk. It's not similar injuries at all, and

0:27:37.680 --> 0:27:39.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm not trying to compare those two, but in terms

0:27:39.920 --> 0:27:42.200
<v Speaker 1>of the risk that comes with drafting Cam Newton, there's

0:27:42.200 --> 0:27:44.679
<v Speaker 1>also a lot of risk that comes with drafting Carson Wentz.

0:27:44.960 --> 0:27:46.959
<v Speaker 1>So that sucks because I think he's in a really

0:27:47.000 --> 0:27:48.919
<v Speaker 1>good spot in terms of his offensive line and the

0:27:48.960 --> 0:27:51.600
<v Speaker 1>weapons that he has on his team. Virginia, want to

0:27:51.600 --> 0:27:54.000
<v Speaker 1>ask you about DeVonta Freeman. It feels like every year

0:27:54.040 --> 0:27:56.800
<v Speaker 1>we're asking you about DeVonta Freeman, and I have a

0:27:56.880 --> 0:27:59.920
<v Speaker 1>feeling you're gonna be pretty pessimistic on him just because

0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:05.080
<v Speaker 1>he's dealt with knee, foot, groin, two concussions, three concussions,

0:28:05.119 --> 0:28:07.159
<v Speaker 1>n c L, PCL sprains. I mean, I mean, you

0:28:07.240 --> 0:28:09.240
<v Speaker 1>name it. It sounds like DeVonta Freeman has had it.

0:28:09.280 --> 0:28:13.159
<v Speaker 1>What's his diagnosis heading into the season. Yeah, so you

0:28:13.200 --> 0:28:14.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of hit the nail on the head. He's dealt

0:28:14.600 --> 0:28:16.919
<v Speaker 1>with a little bit of everything here. Um, there's no

0:28:17.000 --> 0:28:20.639
<v Speaker 1>one specific injury we're currently worried about. His growing after

0:28:20.680 --> 0:28:24.000
<v Speaker 1>surgery last year should be fully healed. Um, his nie

0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:27.400
<v Speaker 1>should be fully healed. But it's pretty tricky, like there's

0:28:27.400 --> 0:28:30.520
<v Speaker 1>clearly something going on in there. Um, He's seventeen season

0:28:30.640 --> 0:28:33.439
<v Speaker 1>ended with a pretty serious PCL and mcale sprain, and

0:28:33.440 --> 0:28:35.800
<v Speaker 1>then he aggravated that injury in Week one last year,

0:28:36.119 --> 0:28:39.040
<v Speaker 1>and that was despite having the entire offseason to strengthen

0:28:39.040 --> 0:28:41.720
<v Speaker 1>his knee and recover. So um, I'd say his knee

0:28:41.800 --> 0:28:45.720
<v Speaker 1>is probably the biggest concern going forward, not his groin um,

0:28:45.760 --> 0:28:47.959
<v Speaker 1>but but the list goes on and on with him.

0:28:48.000 --> 0:28:50.480
<v Speaker 1>And then on top of that, he has three concussions

0:28:50.480 --> 0:28:54.640
<v Speaker 1>since I believe UM two and seventeen, so that is

0:28:54.960 --> 0:28:59.600
<v Speaker 1>incredibly concerning here. So he's a high injury risk. UM.

0:28:59.640 --> 0:29:02.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, don't really have a great prediction on what's

0:29:02.080 --> 0:29:04.120
<v Speaker 1>going to be injured, but more than likely at some

0:29:04.160 --> 0:29:05.640
<v Speaker 1>point in the first half of the season he's going

0:29:05.720 --> 0:29:07.720
<v Speaker 1>to pick up some sort of an injury. All right,

0:29:08.080 --> 0:29:09.880
<v Speaker 1>we have two minutes. Are you around up and hang

0:29:09.880 --> 0:29:11.600
<v Speaker 1>out with us for a little while after after a

0:29:11.600 --> 0:29:15.480
<v Speaker 1>break as well. Yeah, cool, appreciate that. One more question

0:29:15.520 --> 0:29:18.360
<v Speaker 1>before the break. I'm gonna just expect my quarterback story here,

0:29:18.520 --> 0:29:20.240
<v Speaker 1>and there's one more quarterback on our list. It's Jimmy

0:29:20.280 --> 0:29:22.880
<v Speaker 1>g We just finished talking about him, Jimmy Garravelo towards

0:29:22.920 --> 0:29:25.280
<v Speaker 1>a c L. So Tom Brady, he came back. All right,

0:29:25.320 --> 0:29:28.440
<v Speaker 1>would you be gb okay too? I finally have some

0:29:28.480 --> 0:29:31.560
<v Speaker 1>good news for you. Yeah, we're actually showing he should

0:29:31.600 --> 0:29:35.160
<v Speaker 1>be good to go. His was a clean a c L. Tear. UM.

0:29:35.400 --> 0:29:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Quarterbacks that have clean a c L tears tend to

0:29:38.200 --> 0:29:40.840
<v Speaker 1>recover pretty well. UM. Given the technology on a c

0:29:41.000 --> 0:29:44.240
<v Speaker 1>L reconstructions, now he should be almost as good as new. UM.

0:29:44.240 --> 0:29:46.520
<v Speaker 1>It's not exactly the same as you know, pre injury,

0:29:46.600 --> 0:29:48.920
<v Speaker 1>but we think he's gonna be good to go. UM.

0:29:48.920 --> 0:29:50.800
<v Speaker 1>I think they'll kind of slowly test him out early

0:29:50.880 --> 0:29:53.959
<v Speaker 1>at training camp because there's really no reason not to. UM.

0:29:54.000 --> 0:29:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Probably won't see him much, if at all, in the preseason,

0:29:57.840 --> 0:29:59.560
<v Speaker 1>but I think he'll be good to go by week one.

0:30:00.280 --> 0:30:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Make it off to a little bit of a slow start,

0:30:01.920 --> 0:30:03.920
<v Speaker 1>just as he gets comfortable getting back out there and

0:30:03.960 --> 0:30:06.480
<v Speaker 1>taking hits and moving around. But I actually think we

0:30:06.520 --> 0:30:09.760
<v Speaker 1>should see a pretty good season from him. Yeah, take that, you,

0:30:09.920 --> 0:30:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Garoppolo naysayers. I hope Chris Venture the closer downstairs

0:30:13.760 --> 0:30:17.680
<v Speaker 1>is listening, because Jimmy g Q just got a good diagnosis.

0:30:17.720 --> 0:30:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Let's go Greg, how about that. Jimmy g Q should

0:30:19.800 --> 0:30:21.800
<v Speaker 1>be riding a rock for the season. All right, we

0:30:21.800 --> 0:30:23.320
<v Speaker 1>can take a quick break. We only have a Virginia

0:30:23.360 --> 0:30:24.800
<v Speaker 1>for a couple more minutes after the break, so we

0:30:24.840 --> 0:30:25.800
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of players we want to get to.

0:30:25.960 --> 0:30:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Can give a c L s where you get to

0:30:27.280 --> 0:30:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Darius guys, where he gets Cooper Cup. We gotta get

0:30:29.320 --> 0:30:30.479
<v Speaker 1>the char of beginning. We got a lot of talk

0:30:30.520 --> 0:30:32.600
<v Speaker 1>about a lot of al the a c L is

0:30:32.640 --> 0:30:34.280
<v Speaker 1>going on. Make sure you take care of those knees, Greg,

0:30:34.320 --> 0:30:36.400
<v Speaker 1>please do. We've got more players to talk about, Virginia,

0:30:36.440 --> 0:30:38.440
<v Speaker 1>and we'll go over to some second half of the

0:30:38.440 --> 0:30:40.320
<v Speaker 1>season betting odds when it comes to baseball on the

0:30:40.320 --> 0:30:55.000
<v Speaker 1>other side, and wrap it up next. Hey, thanks for

0:31:39.120 --> 0:31:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Best Friends or DBFFC Action our Year, Greg Susman,

0:31:43.160 --> 0:31:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Frank Stample, Virginia Zakis I hear another few minutes with

0:31:46.040 --> 0:31:48.080
<v Speaker 1>us Virginia. We'll try to make it as quick as

0:31:48.080 --> 0:31:50.960
<v Speaker 1>we possibly can. Darius, guys, we get into It was

0:31:51.000 --> 0:31:54.640
<v Speaker 1>one of Frank's favorite targets last year until he got

0:31:54.680 --> 0:31:57.040
<v Speaker 1>severely hurt and had a couple of setbacks, and we

0:31:57.120 --> 0:32:00.960
<v Speaker 1>think he's ready to go? What say you? Yeah? So

0:32:01.000 --> 0:32:04.000
<v Speaker 1>everything about all the reports on him seemed just kind

0:32:04.040 --> 0:32:06.640
<v Speaker 1>of a little iffy. Um. So he tore that a

0:32:06.720 --> 0:32:08.680
<v Speaker 1>c L in the preseason last year and then he

0:32:08.720 --> 0:32:13.080
<v Speaker 1>had three surgeries to address an infection. UM. He's postoperative

0:32:13.120 --> 0:32:16.560
<v Speaker 1>infections damage the structural integrity of the knee. So even

0:32:16.600 --> 0:32:19.160
<v Speaker 1>though he's coming along nicely, his knee really is not

0:32:19.160 --> 0:32:20.720
<v Speaker 1>going to be the same. This is not a case

0:32:20.760 --> 0:32:24.480
<v Speaker 1>like Jimmy Garoppolo, where you know he's had surgery, clean tear,

0:32:24.560 --> 0:32:27.920
<v Speaker 1>he should be good to go. UM. In this case,

0:32:27.960 --> 0:32:30.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm very worried long term about his knee, but also

0:32:31.160 --> 0:32:33.400
<v Speaker 1>with you know, the other muscles and his legs. UM.

0:32:33.480 --> 0:32:35.760
<v Speaker 1>One report even made a comment about his quad, making

0:32:35.760 --> 0:32:38.719
<v Speaker 1>sure he was ready to go. UM, So we need

0:32:38.720 --> 0:32:41.400
<v Speaker 1>to be on the lookout for any sort of knee soreness,

0:32:41.480 --> 0:32:44.760
<v Speaker 1>but also a quad or hamstring strain. UM. Those injuries

0:32:44.760 --> 0:32:46.880
<v Speaker 1>are pretty common when players are coming back from an

0:32:46.880 --> 0:32:49.560
<v Speaker 1>a c L tear, but especially somebody like guys who's

0:32:49.560 --> 0:32:51.600
<v Speaker 1>had all of these issues and infections and has had

0:32:51.640 --> 0:32:54.520
<v Speaker 1>a slow rehab um So I think we'll see him

0:32:54.520 --> 0:32:56.680
<v Speaker 1>at some point during training camp, but I would not

0:32:56.720 --> 0:32:59.880
<v Speaker 1>be surprised if he is not ready to go week one.

0:33:00.040 --> 0:33:03.320
<v Speaker 1>His knee isn't going to be the same, says Virginia's

0:33:04.600 --> 0:33:06.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of scares me away when it comes to Darius

0:33:06.600 --> 0:33:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Guys from the fact that Washington has resigned Adrian Peterson.

0:33:10.080 --> 0:33:11.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm sure that they want some insurance there.

0:33:12.160 --> 0:33:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that Darius Guys is gonna get off to

0:33:13.840 --> 0:33:15.640
<v Speaker 1>a really slow start. Greg. I don't know that Washington

0:33:15.720 --> 0:33:17.720
<v Speaker 1>is gonna lean on him all that much early on.

0:33:18.000 --> 0:33:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he's someone who takes off in the second half

0:33:19.760 --> 0:33:21.120
<v Speaker 1>of the season, but I think it's gonna be quite

0:33:21.120 --> 0:33:24.400
<v Speaker 1>a slow start for Darius Guys. Virginia, I want to

0:33:24.400 --> 0:33:26.440
<v Speaker 1>ask you about another A c L. Great kind of

0:33:26.440 --> 0:33:29.000
<v Speaker 1>preview it before the break, and that is Todd Gurley's

0:33:29.000 --> 0:33:32.480
<v Speaker 1>teammate and Cooper Cup. What's the outlook for Cooper Cup

0:33:32.600 --> 0:33:34.840
<v Speaker 1>heading into this season. As far as I've known, I

0:33:34.880 --> 0:33:37.240
<v Speaker 1>haven't seen anything about infections or any other surgeries. I

0:33:37.280 --> 0:33:39.280
<v Speaker 1>think it's just been a pretty much clean A c

0:33:39.400 --> 0:33:42.400
<v Speaker 1>L tear for Cooper Cup yep. As far as we

0:33:42.400 --> 0:33:44.400
<v Speaker 1>can tell, it's a clean tear. UM. The one thing

0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:46.440
<v Speaker 1>working against him is that he hurt his knee later

0:33:46.440 --> 0:33:48.840
<v Speaker 1>in the season. It was around Week ten, so he's

0:33:48.840 --> 0:33:51.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a few months behind some of these other guys. UM.

0:33:51.560 --> 0:33:53.240
<v Speaker 1>I do think he has a decent chance of being

0:33:53.440 --> 0:33:56.040
<v Speaker 1>UM ready to play Week one, but I doubt we

0:33:56.080 --> 0:33:58.680
<v Speaker 1>see him in any preseason games, and if he is

0:33:58.720 --> 0:34:01.040
<v Speaker 1>cleared ahead of Week one, I would not be surprised

0:34:01.040 --> 0:34:05.040
<v Speaker 1>if he If he doesn't play much the first few weeks, UM,

0:34:05.080 --> 0:34:07.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's just tough when you're coming back from

0:34:07.160 --> 0:34:09.840
<v Speaker 1>an a c L injury that quickly. And he also

0:34:09.920 --> 0:34:13.560
<v Speaker 1>did hurt his m c L last year a few

0:34:13.560 --> 0:34:16.080
<v Speaker 1>weeks before he tore his a c L, so there

0:34:16.160 --> 0:34:17.840
<v Speaker 1>is a chance that he's also dealing with some m

0:34:17.880 --> 0:34:20.600
<v Speaker 1>c L damage that may have slowed his recovery along

0:34:20.600 --> 0:34:23.319
<v Speaker 1>the way. But good news is he's actually already back

0:34:23.360 --> 0:34:26.759
<v Speaker 1>in the elevated risk category. He's no longer high risk UM,

0:34:26.800 --> 0:34:28.600
<v Speaker 1>and I think he should end up with a pretty

0:34:28.600 --> 0:34:30.479
<v Speaker 1>strong season. He just might get off to a slow

0:34:30.520 --> 0:34:33.000
<v Speaker 1>start in the first month or so. An advantage right,

0:34:33.160 --> 0:34:36.239
<v Speaker 1>you could draft Cooper Cup and or don't draft Cooper Cup.

0:34:36.239 --> 0:34:39.279
<v Speaker 1>People draft them slow story. You've hounced yeah a little

0:34:39.280 --> 0:34:41.360
<v Speaker 1>by Low earlier on in the season. We know that

0:34:41.400 --> 0:34:43.160
<v Speaker 1>it's a really good offense, one that might have to

0:34:43.200 --> 0:34:44.960
<v Speaker 1>lean on the past a little bit more if they

0:34:44.960 --> 0:34:47.280
<v Speaker 1>don't want to run girly into the ground. Their offensive

0:34:47.320 --> 0:34:49.160
<v Speaker 1>line isn't as good as it was in years past,

0:34:49.239 --> 0:34:51.319
<v Speaker 1>so that might force him to throw a little bit lust.

0:34:51.360 --> 0:34:52.759
<v Speaker 1>They have a target on their back. They just made

0:34:52.760 --> 0:34:54.680
<v Speaker 1>it to the Super Bowl. So yeah, all this adds

0:34:54.760 --> 0:34:57.439
<v Speaker 1>up to potentially more passing for the Los Angeles Rams.

0:34:57.760 --> 0:34:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Might actually be a good thing for your boy, Robert Woods.

0:34:59.560 --> 0:35:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Great on and Robert Wood. One more player I wanted

0:35:02.920 --> 0:35:05.120
<v Speaker 1>to get to Virginia before we let you go, and

0:35:05.120 --> 0:35:07.320
<v Speaker 1>that is Jerick McKinnon. We talked about the Four Nighters

0:35:07.400 --> 0:35:10.239
<v Speaker 1>before and we specifically asked you about Jimmy g. Well,

0:35:10.280 --> 0:35:12.240
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about Tevin Coleman. We talking about Matt Brida,

0:35:12.320 --> 0:35:14.120
<v Speaker 1>so it's maybe go to Matt Frida as well. But

0:35:14.200 --> 0:35:16.680
<v Speaker 1>this running back situation with San Francisco was so so

0:35:16.760 --> 0:35:21.080
<v Speaker 1>tough to figure out, with Coleman being signed, McKinnon coming back,

0:35:21.280 --> 0:35:24.399
<v Speaker 1>Brita always being hurt how do you see this four

0:35:24.520 --> 0:35:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Niners backfield shaken out. I'm actually a little more concerned

0:35:28.520 --> 0:35:32.200
<v Speaker 1>about Brida than I am McKinnon. Surprisingly, UM, McKinnon, it

0:35:32.200 --> 0:35:34.040
<v Speaker 1>sounds like his was a clean a c L tear.

0:35:34.520 --> 0:35:36.319
<v Speaker 1>Um it was in the preseason, so again he's had

0:35:36.320 --> 0:35:38.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of time to recover. UM. Players tend to

0:35:38.680 --> 0:35:41.279
<v Speaker 1>do much better when they're out longer than you know,

0:35:41.480 --> 0:35:43.640
<v Speaker 1>nine to eleven months. UM. It really can make a

0:35:43.640 --> 0:35:47.000
<v Speaker 1>big difference, especially and even in just getting confidence in

0:35:47.040 --> 0:35:49.480
<v Speaker 1>the knee, but also strengthening the rest of the leg.

0:35:49.880 --> 0:35:52.680
<v Speaker 1>So I think McKinnon should come back UM and should

0:35:52.680 --> 0:35:57.440
<v Speaker 1>look pretty good early on. UM. Brita on the other hand, UM,

0:35:57.520 --> 0:35:59.440
<v Speaker 1>he had all of those ankle issues last year, and

0:35:59.440 --> 0:36:03.200
<v Speaker 1>he also stuff a slightly torn pectoral last month. UM

0:36:03.280 --> 0:36:05.040
<v Speaker 1>that shouldn't be an issue by the time the season

0:36:05.080 --> 0:36:08.480
<v Speaker 1>starts because he didn't need surgery. But the ligaments in

0:36:08.520 --> 0:36:11.239
<v Speaker 1>his ankle are clearly very weak, and I would be

0:36:11.280 --> 0:36:13.560
<v Speaker 1>shocked if at some point he doesn't aggravate that and

0:36:13.640 --> 0:36:16.360
<v Speaker 1>cause some sort of an angle spring this season. You

0:36:16.360 --> 0:36:21.040
<v Speaker 1>know who will is healthy? Greg, Let's go absolutely the

0:36:21.080 --> 0:36:23.200
<v Speaker 1>only one you don't have to worry about in terms

0:36:23.200 --> 0:36:27.240
<v Speaker 1>of injuries for now, For now, Virginia Zakas Inside Injuries.

0:36:27.239 --> 0:36:31.920
<v Speaker 1>We appreciate the extra time today and have a great weekend. Absolutely,

0:36:31.920 --> 0:36:35.560
<v Speaker 1>thank you. That's Virginia Zakas from Inside Injuries. Frankie, Uh,

0:36:35.719 --> 0:36:38.359
<v Speaker 1>let's waiting football now. I wanted to get some baseball stuff.

0:36:38.920 --> 0:36:41.960
<v Speaker 1>That's cool returns tonight? Great, John, wanna make a pick

0:36:41.960 --> 0:36:44.319
<v Speaker 1>on the game coming up in about ten minutes from now.

0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:48.000
<v Speaker 1>First I've heard about it. You pick? Uh? So? Thanks?

0:36:48.080 --> 0:36:50.320
<v Speaker 1>In about ten minutes from now, I have the updated

0:36:50.400 --> 0:36:53.320
<v Speaker 1>World Series odds in front of me. Frank, who do

0:36:53.360 --> 0:36:55.080
<v Speaker 1>you believe the favorites are to win the World Series?

0:36:55.719 --> 0:36:59.200
<v Speaker 1>The Let's go with Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers open

0:36:59.280 --> 0:37:01.120
<v Speaker 1>at plus eight hundred on the year. They are now

0:37:01.160 --> 0:37:05.160
<v Speaker 1>the favorites at plus three hundred. The favorites opening the

0:37:05.239 --> 0:37:07.040
<v Speaker 1>season with the New York Yankees. They are plus three

0:37:07.080 --> 0:37:11.200
<v Speaker 1>fifty the second highest favorite, followed by the Astros, who

0:37:11.200 --> 0:37:14.080
<v Speaker 1>were third to start the second rather to start the

0:37:14.160 --> 0:37:17.799
<v Speaker 1>year there plus four hundred, followed by the Bravos and

0:37:17.840 --> 0:37:19.799
<v Speaker 1>the Twinkies. Didn't you like the Twinkies coming in this year?

0:37:19.840 --> 0:37:23.320
<v Speaker 1>You love them? Right? I love them? One I didn't

0:37:23.560 --> 0:37:26.960
<v Speaker 1>but I'm mad at myself because when we did the

0:37:27.000 --> 0:37:30.000
<v Speaker 1>over unders and we were predicting like the division winners,

0:37:30.320 --> 0:37:32.399
<v Speaker 1>I had the Twins and you guys talked me out

0:37:32.400 --> 0:37:34.759
<v Speaker 1>of it and I changed it to the Indians. Well,

0:37:35.000 --> 0:37:37.600
<v Speaker 1>don't be a sheep. People. That matters a lot less

0:37:37.600 --> 0:37:39.200
<v Speaker 1>than you just go into the sports book and just

0:37:39.920 --> 0:37:43.480
<v Speaker 1>putting like ten bucks on the Twins forty one. Yeah. No,

0:37:43.520 --> 0:37:44.920
<v Speaker 1>it would have been a great bet too, And I

0:37:45.000 --> 0:37:47.000
<v Speaker 1>still think it's not a terrible bet at this point.

0:37:47.040 --> 0:37:50.839
<v Speaker 1>Obviously you don't get as much value, But I think

0:37:50.880 --> 0:37:53.439
<v Speaker 1>pouncing on the Twins now if you wanted to, makes

0:37:53.440 --> 0:37:56.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of sense before they make trades, greg Because

0:37:56.200 --> 0:37:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I think that they will make trades. We've heard them

0:37:58.160 --> 0:38:01.919
<v Speaker 1>linked to Madison bum Garner and Marcus Stroman. They could land,

0:38:02.120 --> 0:38:03.440
<v Speaker 1>they could end up with one of those guys. They

0:38:03.440 --> 0:38:05.520
<v Speaker 1>could end up with both of those guys, and if

0:38:05.560 --> 0:38:07.680
<v Speaker 1>that's if that's the case, we know that their offense

0:38:07.760 --> 0:38:10.000
<v Speaker 1>is really good. If they just could just get any

0:38:10.000 --> 0:38:12.239
<v Speaker 1>semblance of a pitching staff here heading into the postseason,

0:38:12.400 --> 0:38:14.640
<v Speaker 1>there could be a dangerous team, greg O. Their favorites

0:38:14.680 --> 0:38:18.600
<v Speaker 1>include the Cubs right now plus two thousand Phillies plus

0:38:18.640 --> 0:38:21.200
<v Speaker 1>twenty two hundred Rays or plus two hundred there plus

0:38:21.280 --> 0:38:24.439
<v Speaker 1>sixty six hundred coming into the season. Uh, and then

0:38:24.640 --> 0:38:29.439
<v Speaker 1>you have the Red Sox right out down to plus Uh.

0:38:29.520 --> 0:38:32.719
<v Speaker 1>Let's you had to predict the World Series right now? Greg,

0:38:32.719 --> 0:38:37.120
<v Speaker 1>what are you? What are you leaning with? UM? Take

0:38:37.239 --> 0:38:39.480
<v Speaker 1>value out of it, just whoever you think is gonna

0:38:39.480 --> 0:38:43.640
<v Speaker 1>be there. Looking at the rematch man two years ago Dodgers,

0:38:43.640 --> 0:38:45.560
<v Speaker 1>I agree with you, and I just think they're two

0:38:45.560 --> 0:38:47.520
<v Speaker 1>strongest teams that really do. Yeah, and I know that

0:38:47.520 --> 0:38:52.280
<v Speaker 1>the Yankees are have they are. They are the favorite,

0:38:52.440 --> 0:38:55.120
<v Speaker 1>second highest favorite their head of the Astros right now. Uh,

0:38:55.239 --> 0:38:57.480
<v Speaker 1>they haven't traded for any pitching yet, But I don't

0:38:57.480 --> 0:38:59.320
<v Speaker 1>know that there's a picture out there on the market

0:38:59.360 --> 0:39:02.279
<v Speaker 1>that's going to put them over the top against the

0:39:02.360 --> 0:39:05.839
<v Speaker 1>Houston Astros. We are Yankee fans, but you also don't

0:39:05.880 --> 0:39:07.680
<v Speaker 1>want to bet with your heart. I think when it

0:39:07.680 --> 0:39:09.680
<v Speaker 1>comes to the Houston Astros, just their pitching staff, it

0:39:09.800 --> 0:39:11.520
<v Speaker 1>just gives them the edge in terms of Garret Cole

0:39:11.560 --> 0:39:13.359
<v Speaker 1>and Justin Verlina. So I say, you look at some

0:39:13.440 --> 0:39:17.279
<v Speaker 1>of the odds to win your division, and I was

0:39:17.280 --> 0:39:19.400
<v Speaker 1>looking at the n L East. Think it's really interesting.

0:39:20.800 --> 0:39:22.480
<v Speaker 1>So the least the favorite right now are the Bridges.

0:39:22.480 --> 0:39:23.920
<v Speaker 1>They're in the first place. There are plus three hundred

0:39:23.920 --> 0:39:25.359
<v Speaker 1>coming to the year. They might have six seventy now,

0:39:25.360 --> 0:39:28.399
<v Speaker 1>pretty strong favorites. Six game lead in a six game lead.

0:39:29.480 --> 0:39:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Phillies and Nats are both at plus eight fifty. And

0:39:31.520 --> 0:39:35.560
<v Speaker 1>he loved there. I really liked the Nationals album were

0:39:36.360 --> 0:39:39.480
<v Speaker 1>I never left. My prediction before the season was the

0:39:39.560 --> 0:39:41.839
<v Speaker 1>Nationals in the Astros in the World Series. I think

0:39:41.880 --> 0:39:44.120
<v Speaker 1>you might have had something similar. Think I think that

0:39:44.239 --> 0:39:46.760
<v Speaker 1>with the Cars at the Cardinals. I like the National's

0:39:46.760 --> 0:39:49.520
<v Speaker 1>winning the division. Yes, And you know what I was

0:39:49.560 --> 0:39:51.839
<v Speaker 1>looking at this when they were like twelve games out

0:39:52.360 --> 0:39:54.759
<v Speaker 1>and you were getting them at I think it was

0:39:54.840 --> 0:39:57.880
<v Speaker 1>plus fourteen hundred to win the division. And I remember

0:39:57.880 --> 0:40:01.240
<v Speaker 1>that I was talking about it downstairs. Dude. The Nationals

0:40:01.239 --> 0:40:05.160
<v Speaker 1>are plus fourteen hundred right now. I mean they've they've

0:40:05.160 --> 0:40:07.440
<v Speaker 1>cut it in more than half already, Greg, and that

0:40:07.560 --> 0:40:11.200
<v Speaker 1>was in a month span. They still have two and

0:40:11.239 --> 0:40:13.240
<v Speaker 1>a half more months here to make up six games.

0:40:14.840 --> 0:40:16.520
<v Speaker 1>I might be I don't think I'm off base here,

0:40:16.560 --> 0:40:18.759
<v Speaker 1>but didn't the Mets blow a six game lead heading

0:40:18.800 --> 0:40:22.040
<v Speaker 1>into September one year back to the Mets. But it's

0:40:22.680 --> 0:40:26.280
<v Speaker 1>it's happened. It's happened in baseball, It's happened in a month.

0:40:26.480 --> 0:40:28.359
<v Speaker 1>They're telling me the Nationals can't make up six games

0:40:28.360 --> 0:40:29.719
<v Speaker 1>and two and a half months. When you say there's

0:40:29.719 --> 0:40:31.719
<v Speaker 1>a better chance of just not sneaking in on the

0:40:31.719 --> 0:40:34.359
<v Speaker 1>wild card and then sure, But I mean in terms

0:40:34.400 --> 0:40:38.000
<v Speaker 1>of the betting value right now, you're getting the Nationals

0:40:38.000 --> 0:40:42.080
<v Speaker 1>at plus eight fifty to win the division. That's awesome, man,

0:40:42.200 --> 0:40:44.720
<v Speaker 1>very much. I still have surely so Strasberg. They have Corbin.

0:40:45.400 --> 0:40:49.719
<v Speaker 1>Their offense is really good. I love it. I loved

0:40:49.719 --> 0:40:51.800
<v Speaker 1>it a month ago when they were plus fourteen hundred

0:40:51.880 --> 0:40:54.759
<v Speaker 1>and they were twelve games out. I obviously loved it

0:40:54.800 --> 0:40:56.560
<v Speaker 1>more than because of the value we're getting. But at

0:40:56.560 --> 0:41:00.440
<v Speaker 1>plus eight fifty, I would throw a few out on it.

0:41:00.600 --> 0:41:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Trying to find another one that's worth talking about in

0:41:05.280 --> 0:41:08.279
<v Speaker 1>like the division odds here, why not the Cardinals at

0:41:08.280 --> 0:41:10.440
<v Speaker 1>plus four twenty five. You just brought them up, like

0:41:10.440 --> 0:41:12.839
<v Speaker 1>win the world? Serious? I think they suck. You think

0:41:12.840 --> 0:41:15.360
<v Speaker 1>they suck. There's no turning it around for the Cardinals.

0:41:15.360 --> 0:41:17.160
<v Speaker 1>They've been linked to training for pitching and they have

0:41:17.200 --> 0:41:20.000
<v Speaker 1>They mean they need pitching either two games out and

0:41:20.040 --> 0:41:22.200
<v Speaker 1>you're getting them at plus four fifties. Yeah, it feels

0:41:22.239 --> 0:41:25.560
<v Speaker 1>like they suck the but look at this division. Nobody's

0:41:25.560 --> 0:41:27.839
<v Speaker 1>technically out of it. What are the Reds? Reds are

0:41:27.840 --> 0:41:31.200
<v Speaker 1>plus a thousand? Give me the Reds baby Pirates? Of

0:41:31.200 --> 0:41:34.520
<v Speaker 1>plus four team, there are four and a half games out.

0:41:34.520 --> 0:41:35.920
<v Speaker 1>There was only four and a half games out right,

0:41:35.960 --> 0:41:38.800
<v Speaker 1>what are the parents two and a half? This division

0:41:39.200 --> 0:41:41.560
<v Speaker 1>has the most parody of any place in baseball right now.

0:41:41.920 --> 0:41:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean the last place teams only four and a

0:41:43.480 --> 0:41:45.120
<v Speaker 1>half games out. Would you like to know how many

0:41:45.160 --> 0:41:48.120
<v Speaker 1>games out the Baltimore Orioles are It would be thirty

0:41:48.120 --> 0:41:52.040
<v Speaker 1>and a half. The last place team is still live

0:41:52.080 --> 0:41:54.839
<v Speaker 1>in the Annal Central, every team is alive. So I think,

0:41:55.520 --> 0:41:57.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what makes the most sense to me is, look,

0:41:57.920 --> 0:41:59.640
<v Speaker 1>we like the Cardinals a lot coming into the year.

0:42:00.360 --> 0:42:02.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm with you. I leave with the Cardinals and you

0:42:02.600 --> 0:42:04.239
<v Speaker 1>get some pretty good value. Right now, they're only two

0:42:04.280 --> 0:42:06.920
<v Speaker 1>games out, and if they trade for some pitching they

0:42:06.960 --> 0:42:09.400
<v Speaker 1>were linked to bum Garner at some point. If they

0:42:09.440 --> 0:42:12.279
<v Speaker 1>trade for a bum Garner, a Bower, someone like that,

0:42:12.400 --> 0:42:15.960
<v Speaker 1>a Stroman, that helps. I mean they need pitching. That's

0:42:15.960 --> 0:42:18.120
<v Speaker 1>what it comes down to. Jack Flaherty hasn't lived up

0:42:18.120 --> 0:42:22.040
<v Speaker 1>to expectations. Miles Mikolas has not lived up to expectations.

0:42:22.280 --> 0:42:25.360
<v Speaker 1>In fact, Greg, yes, I'm still writing a baseball content

0:42:25.400 --> 0:42:28.120
<v Speaker 1>on my Patreon ding. I did a m v P

0:42:28.600 --> 0:42:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Most Valuable Players and Least Valuable Players at the half,

0:42:32.800 --> 0:42:36.239
<v Speaker 1>both Miles Mikolas and Jack Flaherty landed on the l

0:42:36.320 --> 0:42:39.880
<v Speaker 1>v P. Squad feel said that rightfully. So look at

0:42:39.960 --> 0:42:42.920
<v Speaker 1>some m v P odds right now. The five I

0:42:42.960 --> 0:42:45.680
<v Speaker 1>guess betting favorites Mike Trout. That's not surprise. He was

0:42:45.680 --> 0:42:47.840
<v Speaker 1>the favorite coming of the year. Uh Dally May he

0:42:47.880 --> 0:42:49.359
<v Speaker 1>was not even all on board start of the year.

0:42:49.360 --> 0:42:51.960
<v Speaker 1>He's the second time right now on the board. Alex

0:42:51.960 --> 0:42:54.759
<v Speaker 1>Bregman was plus a thousands, now plus that makes sense.

0:42:54.920 --> 0:42:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Joey Gallow, you got sixty six to one to start

0:42:57.560 --> 0:43:00.879
<v Speaker 1>the year. Um, he is now at plus fifteen hundred.

0:43:00.920 --> 0:43:02.040
<v Speaker 1>He's not one in the m v P, don't worry

0:43:02.040 --> 0:43:04.439
<v Speaker 1>about it. And Georgie Polanco was off the board. He's

0:43:04.440 --> 0:43:06.359
<v Speaker 1>not plus fifteen hundred. Mike Chat's canna be your MVP

0:43:06.440 --> 0:43:10.080
<v Speaker 1>in the A L The NL is really exciting way

0:43:10.080 --> 0:43:12.279
<v Speaker 1>to just closs over the Yankee. Greg, what kind of

0:43:12.320 --> 0:43:16.320
<v Speaker 1>fan are you? Why you're glossing over DJ L Mayhew?

0:43:16.320 --> 0:43:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Like he doesn't even have a shot. It's not doesn't

0:43:17.840 --> 0:43:19.799
<v Speaker 1>have a shot. He leaves the American League in hitting

0:43:19.840 --> 0:43:22.239
<v Speaker 1>my shild. He said something really interesting during the All

0:43:22.239 --> 0:43:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Star Game the other day, D Mayhew, if the season

0:43:24.840 --> 0:43:27.480
<v Speaker 1>ended today, be the first player in baseball history to

0:43:27.680 --> 0:43:32.120
<v Speaker 1>lead both the NL and in batting average. Yeah, that's

0:43:32.320 --> 0:43:34.960
<v Speaker 1>that's actually very surprising. It is surprising, all right. The

0:43:35.040 --> 0:43:36.600
<v Speaker 1>n L m v P. I hope I got that right.

0:43:36.680 --> 0:43:39.239
<v Speaker 1>That race is super exciting because did I pick that?

0:43:39.239 --> 0:43:41.719
<v Speaker 1>I picked Linger in the MVP this year? I might

0:43:41.760 --> 0:43:46.600
<v Speaker 1>have no, Greg, we both chose Anthony Brindo. Damn well,

0:43:47.520 --> 0:43:50.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's he's improved there, so we're not really

0:43:50.440 --> 0:43:52.560
<v Speaker 1>that far off. It's a two person race. Bellinger plus

0:43:52.560 --> 0:43:55.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty hundred Christian Yelling at plus a thousand. These two

0:43:55.120 --> 0:43:57.480
<v Speaker 1>guys are such heavy favorites. Plus one hundred for Cody

0:43:57.480 --> 0:44:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Bellinger plus one sixty five navigation Yell A lot can

0:44:01.680 --> 0:44:04.080
<v Speaker 1>happen and a half. I mean, ask Jesus Agilar about

0:44:04.120 --> 0:44:06.560
<v Speaker 1>that last year, and of course this year. That's first

0:44:06.560 --> 0:44:08.560
<v Speaker 1>half that be put together, but a lot can change

0:44:08.560 --> 0:44:11.040
<v Speaker 1>and a half. So look, if you really like Freddy

0:44:11.080 --> 0:44:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Free and if you like Anthony Rendon, there still is

0:44:13.040 --> 0:44:15.160
<v Speaker 1>a chance. I'm not saying it's going to happen, but

0:44:15.320 --> 0:44:17.960
<v Speaker 1>there's a chance that both Christian Yelloish and Cody Bellinger

0:44:18.200 --> 0:44:21.160
<v Speaker 1>could regress a little bit. And you know, if the

0:44:21.239 --> 0:44:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Nationals go on some crazy run and they win the

0:44:23.640 --> 0:44:26.080
<v Speaker 1>National League East and it's all in the back of

0:44:26.080 --> 0:44:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Rendon, I'm just saying at plus fifteen hundred, I

0:44:30.200 --> 0:44:33.560
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't put a lot on it. What crazier things have

0:44:33.600 --> 0:44:36.320
<v Speaker 1>happened in a half of baseball? If I had to choose,

0:44:36.320 --> 0:44:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I think Bellinger probably wins, and I think it's a

0:44:37.960 --> 0:44:40.560
<v Speaker 1>two person race. What crazier things have happened? Great? I

0:44:40.600 --> 0:44:44.080
<v Speaker 1>agree Bellinger probably the favorite for me. Alsa Young Berlander

0:44:44.239 --> 0:44:47.240
<v Speaker 1>versus Cole Verlander is the favorite year, follow by Luke Gildo,

0:44:47.520 --> 0:44:50.479
<v Speaker 1>Chuck Morton, and Chris Sale. Yeah. If the Rays were better,

0:44:50.480 --> 0:44:54.160
<v Speaker 1>man Charlie Morton would not be like and I'll say

0:44:54.239 --> 0:44:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Young Serzer, Re Mueller, Luis Castillo, Jacob Dedram interesting that

0:44:59.160 --> 0:45:01.680
<v Speaker 1>are still the favorite. Re you off the board start

0:45:01.719 --> 0:45:04.759
<v Speaker 1>the season, take up to ground. Dropping from plus three

0:45:04.760 --> 0:45:08.680
<v Speaker 1>fifty two plus se is just crazy. Let's come mats

0:45:58.080 --> 0:46:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Here's what you missed on the BF apps. So let

0:46:01.719 --> 0:46:05.320
<v Speaker 1>me start with Arizona and with Kyler Murray in general.

0:46:05.440 --> 0:46:08.719
<v Speaker 1>Kyler Murray first overall pick, second year in a row.

0:46:08.719 --> 0:46:11.239
<v Speaker 1>The Arizona Cardinals take a quarterback in the first round.

0:46:11.280 --> 0:46:13.480
<v Speaker 1>And I've heard a lot about Cliff Kingsbury and what

0:46:13.520 --> 0:46:15.560
<v Speaker 1>he's going to do to the offense. But let me

0:46:15.560 --> 0:46:17.840
<v Speaker 1>start with Kyler Murray. He just went I think my

0:46:17.880 --> 0:46:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Scotts fish point. It was a little bit different, super

0:46:19.680 --> 0:46:22.400
<v Speaker 1>flex kind of league. But how early are you comfortable

0:46:22.440 --> 0:46:26.160
<v Speaker 1>taking Kyler Murray, Frank in terms of relatives to other

0:46:26.200 --> 0:46:28.759
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks or just in terms of ADP. What are you

0:46:28.800 --> 0:46:33.640
<v Speaker 1>thinking here? I guess in terms of a DP right now,

0:46:34.280 --> 0:46:36.560
<v Speaker 1>he's going to pick one oh three, which is what

0:46:36.960 --> 0:46:39.399
<v Speaker 1>as the twelfth quarterback off the book. So he's being

0:46:39.440 --> 0:46:41.720
<v Speaker 1>drives a QB one And as I said, sandwiched between

0:46:41.760 --> 0:46:43.719
<v Speaker 1>golf and Cam Newton, as I said yesterday, that is

0:46:43.800 --> 0:46:47.000
<v Speaker 1>ahead of Cam Newton. I could never take Kyler Murray

0:46:47.000 --> 0:46:50.640
<v Speaker 1>ahead of Cam Newton. That's crazy. People are getting excited.

0:46:50.680 --> 0:46:52.880
<v Speaker 1>People are getting excited about Kyler Murray. I mean that

0:46:52.960 --> 0:46:56.000
<v Speaker 1>ability to rush that we saw in college. People are

0:46:56.000 --> 0:46:58.560
<v Speaker 1>excited about that. I mean what we saw from Lamar

0:46:58.680 --> 0:47:02.279
<v Speaker 1>Jackson last year, that rushing floor that he provides. I mean,

0:47:02.320 --> 0:47:05.600
<v Speaker 1>that's just huge for fantasy football purposes, and Kyler Murray

0:47:05.719 --> 0:47:08.480
<v Speaker 1>really is. I'm not gonna go as far as and

0:47:08.520 --> 0:47:10.880
<v Speaker 1>say ten times the past on Lamar Jackson is, but

0:47:10.960 --> 0:47:14.520
<v Speaker 1>he is a much more polished pass Lamar Jackson, real,

0:47:14.600 --> 0:47:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Lamar Real. Lamar Jackson is the nineteenth quarterback off the Boody.

0:47:19.440 --> 0:47:22.160
<v Speaker 1>But but in NFFC it's six point per passing touchdowns,

0:47:22.160 --> 0:47:25.160
<v Speaker 1>So it's worth noting that Lamar Jackson is much more

0:47:25.239 --> 0:47:27.520
<v Speaker 1>valuable in four point per passing touchdown leagues. And so

0:47:27.680 --> 0:47:29.399
<v Speaker 1>is Kyler Murray. All right that matter, in a four

0:47:29.400 --> 0:47:31.680
<v Speaker 1>point passing touchdown league, who would you take first, Lamar

0:47:31.760 --> 0:47:35.279
<v Speaker 1>Jackson or Kyler Murray? Kyla Murray because I think that,

0:47:35.800 --> 0:47:38.360
<v Speaker 1>But he doesn't have the same rushing upside as Lamar Jackson,

0:47:38.440 --> 0:47:41.800
<v Speaker 1>and his passing upside is much higher than But like

0:47:41.960 --> 0:47:44.239
<v Speaker 1>like it, Lamar Jackson didn't get better in year two.

0:47:44.520 --> 0:47:46.759
<v Speaker 1>You know he should, and I think a lot of

0:47:46.800 --> 0:47:48.759
<v Speaker 1>people expect him to do that. Like Kyler Murray is

0:47:48.760 --> 0:47:50.880
<v Speaker 1>already there in terms of being a pastor. Me, I

0:47:50.920 --> 0:47:54.120
<v Speaker 1>guess yes he is. We hope theoretically yes, but he

0:47:54.200 --> 0:47:56.840
<v Speaker 1>is a more He's a much more polished pastor, absolutely,

0:47:56.920 --> 0:47:59.719
<v Speaker 1>especially inside the pocket, making plays out of the pockets. Lamar,

0:48:00.040 --> 0:48:02.399
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna with his legs as Lamar Jackson is. He's

0:48:02.440 --> 0:48:06.400
<v Speaker 1>not not nearly. Is that true? Yes, I mean Kyla

0:48:06.440 --> 0:48:09.239
<v Speaker 1>Murray just ran for a thousand yards in college. Lamar

0:48:09.360 --> 0:48:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Jackson did the same thing. Kyler Murray makes place with

0:48:12.320 --> 0:48:14.480
<v Speaker 1>his legs. Greg, Like, I don't know that he's going

0:48:14.560 --> 0:48:16.879
<v Speaker 1>to rely on it as much as Lamar Jackson because

0:48:16.880 --> 0:48:19.360
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't need to. He can make more throws at

0:48:19.400 --> 0:48:21.240
<v Speaker 1>the NFL level, or at least that's what I expect

0:48:21.239 --> 0:48:24.040
<v Speaker 1>in year one. But I think that he can make

0:48:24.080 --> 0:48:26.719
<v Speaker 1>a lot of similar place. He's not gonna run as

0:48:26.760 --> 0:48:28.759
<v Speaker 1>much as Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson at games where he

0:48:28.840 --> 0:48:31.040
<v Speaker 1>ran twenty plus times last year, and I wouldn't expect

0:48:31.040 --> 0:48:33.360
<v Speaker 1>that type of volume from Lamar Jackson either this season.

0:48:33.719 --> 0:48:36.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean he'll probably get anywhere from I mean, a

0:48:36.920 --> 0:48:39.640
<v Speaker 1>realistic projection is like ten to twelve carries a game

0:48:39.680 --> 0:48:43.879
<v Speaker 1>for Lamar Jackson. But Kyler Murray he's gonna run. Greg,

0:48:44.280 --> 0:48:47.520
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna run. I'm confident in that. So you confident

0:48:47.560 --> 0:48:49.840
<v Speaker 1>to take him as your QV one. He's going to

0:48:49.920 --> 0:48:53.719
<v Speaker 1>well right now, So I feel a lot the same

0:48:53.760 --> 0:48:56.080
<v Speaker 1>way I feel about Kyler Murray is very similar to

0:48:56.120 --> 0:48:58.920
<v Speaker 1>how I feel about Cam Newton. Obviously for different reasons,

0:48:58.920 --> 0:49:00.560
<v Speaker 1>but there's a lot of risk and all the both.
