11
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 3: I am doing good. We had a little fun last night.

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 3: My wife's birthday is today. Happy birthday. He's not listening, so,

13
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 3: but happy birthday. We had a good night last night.

14
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 3: But I'm glad to be here. Man, someone's to talking

15
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 3: about you know. It's it's this is typically like the

16
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 3: time of Union, when we're we're going through like list,

17
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 3: you know, the top ten best players at some position,

18
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 3: blah blah blah blah blah. But there's someone's to get

19
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 3: to you. In sports, it's fantastic.

20
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: This certainly is an a foot I'd be talking about

21
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: the College World Series. Now, we talked about the women's

22
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: softball a couple of weeks ago. I mean, I'm kind

23
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 2: of hooked. I mean, this LSU game yesterday against Florida

24
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: was unbelievable in the eleventh inning, It's unreal.

25
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 3: Really, Well, what I like about it most is this

26
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 3: College World Series has been one that has been lower

27
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 3: scoring than usual, and I always prefer games are lower scoring.

28
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 3: I think they're just crisper. Every pitch feels more important.

29
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 3: And the last two LSU games have gone to extra innings,

30
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 3: both in eleventh innings, and they've been very low scoring. Obviously,

31
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: the weight game was too nothing. I believe last night

32
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 3: was what five to four? It was a four to

33
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 3: three or five to four, four to three, So man,

34
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 3: sign me up for those. I'll take low scoring defense pitching,

35
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 3: you know, I want. You know, I'm nice to get

36
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 3: a couple of hits every now and then, but I

37
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 3: must prefer that over anything else.

38
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you this much. If I had my druthers,

39
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: if I had to make a selection between watching the

40
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: College World Series or the XFL a USFL, I'm watching

41
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: the College World Series and I love football.

42
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: Well, I'm I'm watching the USFL because I do cover

43
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 3: it a little bit for for Fox. But yeah, I

44
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: mean it's it's you know, I've always said this, and

45
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 3: I have no problem even though I do I do

46
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 3: cover it a little bit. It's like, you know, I'm

47
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 3: glad the USFL has played after the football season because

48
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: you the XFL has played almost immediately, and you're like, oh,

49
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 3: I just got done watching six months of football. I

50
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 3: just can't watch any more football. So the XFL is

51
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 3: the least. Here's the opportunity to breathe a little bit.

52
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 3: But you're right. I mean I have trouble sometimes watching

53
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 3: bad college football and the USFL. You know, it's not

54
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 3: bad football. The game. I watched a little of the

55
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 3: game last night. I mean, the games when the games matter,

56
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 3: they're they're pretty good. But it's certainly much much different

57
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 3: than you know, college football or the NFL.

58
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 2: Right, And look, I'm not down in those legs. I

59
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 2: think there's a great opportunity for guys to get an

60
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: opportunity to play at the next level. That's basically what

61
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: it is. If you're a football junkie, that's what you do.

62
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 2: I can't see people actually wagering on it. I'm sure

63
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: there are lines on those games, but I can't see

64
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: how people can even play a bet on those games.

65
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: Well you can't. You can bet on those games, you know.

66
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 3: Chris Filica the Bear works for Fox Sports with me.

67
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 3: He's really good at wagering on on on USFL. There's

68
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 3: there's money to be made if you would like to

69
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 3: make it at times, So just pay attention.

70
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: All right, Okay, I'm listening. I'm trying. All right. I

71
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: want to go back in time a little bit to

72
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: this NBA draft. Okay, and all I heard about is Wemby. Okay,

73
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: Victor the first round pick. I mean I heard about

74
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: him way back in March. You're a kid from France.

75
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: They don't even know how tall the kid is. They

76
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: say seven to five with shoes, seven to three without shoes.

77
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: I mean, the hype is nuts. It's nauseating, it really is.

78
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: And I think that you got to put the brakes

79
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: on the hype just a little bit because they say

80
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: he's the breast prospect the NBA has seen since Lebron

81
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: enter the league in all three Look, I get it.

82
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 2: It's great for the NBA. It's great for ratings, it's

83
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: great for the league itself. But could you stop a

84
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 2: little bit. It's it's got of control.

85
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 3: I actually feel like we're at a spot now where

86
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 3: people are going a little bit even even more extreme, right,

87
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 3: I mean they'll call him the best player of all time, right,

88
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: the best talent of all time, and the best this

89
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 3: and that generate. You know, everyone's everyone's a generational talent

90
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 3: all the time. Right, everyone's generational talent is something that

91
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: we throw around way too much. And so here's the deal.

92
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 3: I said this about Bryce Young in the NFL draft.

93
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 3: You never I think it's hard to say those things

94
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 3: about players that are outliers. And let me explain. Right, So,

95
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,679
Speaker 3: Victor woman Yamas is seven to five, about two hundred pounds.

96
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 3: He is a is a tall fella, but a thin fella,

97
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 3: and he is a player that is a place. You know,

98
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 3: you hear seven five ID and you're like, you know what,

99
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 3: that guy's a center. Well, web, he's like a three. Right,

100
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 3: he's Kevin Durant five inches.

101
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: Taller than.

102
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 3: That. He is an outlier. Like that size and that

103
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 3: ability to move are things that put him his own

104
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 3: category ever in the NBA history. He's his own guy.

105
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 3: Watch his highlights that he's eighteen years old. Watch Hilent

106
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 3: in France as a professional player. There's nothing like him

107
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 3: ever before? All right? And so is he as physically

108
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 3: gifted as any player? Maybe? Ever? Sure? I mean his

109
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 3: size is the way he moves, his ability to shoot

110
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 3: and play defense with his length, all those things are

111
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 3: a plus. Right, But again, no one's done this like

112
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 3: him before, at that size and weight and age. Right,

113
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 3: you know Lebron James. There have been players that have

114
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: been his size all the time. Is there a player

115
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 3: that's talented, like physically gifted with all the skills as

116
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 3: is Lebron? Ever, no, like Lebron is himself. But there's

117
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 3: players we've seen of his size before that have succeeded

118
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 3: over many generations of NBA players. We just haven't seen

119
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 3: seven foot guys. Man. They get foot injuries all the time.

120
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 3: Look look at chet holgre Right, Chet Holmgren, who just

121
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 3: drafted this past draft, was supposed to be another Unicorn

122
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 3: and another generational talent, right hurt his foot in his

123
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 3: first like pro am game against Lebron in Seattle last year.

124
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 3: So to me, I think it's I think the potential

125
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 3: is all there. I am one hundred percent on board

126
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 3: with the potential of Lemanyama. I think he can be

127
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 3: a he can be a generational player in the NBA.

128
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 3: It's just hard at times to just come out and

129
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 3: say that about every NBA player every draft, especially someone

130
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 3: who again size and weight and play style never been

131
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 3: done before.

132
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 2: Look, besides Lebron, I can't remember any player who's lived

133
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 2: up or maybe exceeded the hype. When Lebron was in

134
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 2: high school, he was on Sports Illustrated. You know, he

135
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 2: was some hype there, but he's exceeded that.

136
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: He really did.

137
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 3: I think Andy that not enough is made and not

138
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 3: enough praise it's given to Lebron for this exact thing

139
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 3: he just said. I don't want to listen to lebron'side

140
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 3: I am a big fan of Lebron. I almost am.

141
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 3: I almost am a contrarian about it because people so

142
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 3: many people hate Lebron. I don't understand it. You know,

143
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 3: he at a young age fifteen sixteen seventeen was hyped

144
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 3: up as the next greatest NBA player, and he's done

145
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 3: exactly what everyone said he would do. And he was

146
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: on as you mentioned, cover Sports Illustrated, he was he

147
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 3: was on national television play basketball each week. And he's

148
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 3: not only done that, Andy, he's done that without getting

149
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 3: even in the whiff of controversial. The biggest controversi in

150
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 3: his career is that he decided to go on TV

151
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 3: announce where he was going well donating millions of dollars

152
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 3: with Boys and Girls club like that. That's his controversy

153
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 3: in the NBA, right, and you might not agree with

154
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 3: this politics Ball who cares? Like that? Is his biggest

155
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 3: controvers NBA is that he he decided to change teams

156
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 3: right and announced on television that's right exactly. He lived up,

157
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 3: He lived up to everything any but he fundamentally changed

158
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 3: the way rosters are built in the NBA, like he

159
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 3: changed a lot about how the NBA has played, how

160
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 3: teams are built. So it's he doesn't get enough credit

161
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 3: for for that ability to do all those things, you know,

162
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 3: all at once in will maintaining you know, very clean image.

163
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 2: And more than that, nothing off the court, no problems,

164
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 2: not even a parking ticket, nothing, no duy s nothing,

165
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 2: no bringing guns on a plane. I mean, everything that

166
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 2: we read about he's been clean, squeaky clean, and that's great.

167
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 2: I mean he certainly when you talk about role models.

168
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 2: He's there. There's no doubt about role as a player,

169
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: as a person, no doubt. And again you're right, you

170
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 2: don't have to agree with his political stance, but so

171
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 2: on who cares.

172
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, And so I just think it's really impressive his

173
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 3: ability to just uh do that. And and when Mayama

174
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 3: has a lot of love to right, he's gonna be

175
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 3: in that in that same category where you know, he's

176
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 3: gonna be looked at as as a savior of the Spurs,

177
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 3: which is all I mean, the Sixers are wont to

178
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 3: bucks of championships, but you know, Lebron was looked at

179
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 3: as a savior of Cleveland obviously from the area, when

180
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 3: Mayama's from France. But he said come in right away.

181
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 3: And it's interesting if because if you listen to you know,

182
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 3: two people that you know cover basketball at a different

183
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 3: level than than we both do. There's a there's a

184
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 3: thought about about when Mayama maybe having you know, to

185
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 3: be load managed this year a little bit as he

186
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 3: puts on some weight and becomes you know, kind of

187
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: an NBA you know, NBA body, And there's an idea too,

188
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 3: like the Spurs we saw this year they tanked, right,

189
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 3: they tanked for the for the first pick. There's an

190
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 3: idea that maybe they tank for another pick next year

191
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 3: because you're not gonna get you know, free agents to

192
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 3: San Antonios. You have to get draft picks there. So

193
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 3: he might not even play as much as he should

194
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 3: in year one for those reasons. So I'm kind of

195
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 3: curious how that all plays out for him, you know,

196
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 3: throughout the year. But look, it certainly makes the Spurs

197
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 3: way more exciting to watch, there's no mean though.

198
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 2: The funny thing is that I think that sports like

199
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 2: baseball and the NBA need to have this hype to

200
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: sell tickets, I mean, to take up people involved. I

201
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: don't remember the last time the NFL had super hype

202
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 2: for a player coming into the league. A little bit

203
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 2: of Trevor Lawrence when he came in. Not much, but

204
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 2: but still I don't think the.

205
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 3: NFL is probably Andrew luck was probably the last one

206
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 3: that I recall, is like, because he was looked at

207
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 3: as obviously maybe the best, you know, the best quarterback

208
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 3: prospect since the mid eighties. Right, It's like it's early

209
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 3: since like John Ella early eighties. Right, it's eighty three draft,

210
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 3: and he came in with that with that hype, and but.

211
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 2: The NFL didn't need it. That's the thing.

212
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 3: I think the NFL doesn't need doesn't need that to watch.

213
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 3: And it's funny because I don't baseball I feel like

214
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 3: needs those guys. But does it move me? Sho Hailshani

215
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 3: what he's doing right now is absolutely incredible. The anyone

216
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 3: watching Angels games like there's people are people like, man,

217
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 3: I gotta watch the Angels play.

218
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 2: Well yesterday did when they won twenty five to one.

219
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 3: Well, I know, but my point is like I don't

220
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 3: know if it if it matters in baseball. I feel

221
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 3: like baseball is still so team oriented. You're rooting for

222
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 3: the team first.

223
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 2: Well, I got one of Cincinnati to Elie de la Cruz.

224
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 2: I mean he is, yeah, I mean he could be

225
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: a generational player. He really could.

226
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah. Cycle the other night and think about him too.

227
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 3: I think this important is the Reds are playing better

228
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 3: baseball because of him. Like as a team, that's that's

229
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 3: impressive as a young baseball player to come up and

230
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 3: your entire team sort of plays better because of you.

231
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 2: I agree with that. I mean it's funny because how

232
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 2: one guy can change. And I hate to use the term.

233
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 2: But one guy can change the culture of a team.

234
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: I mean, his team basically was picked to lose one

235
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 2: hundred games going into this season. Now I hate to

236
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 2: say it, but they could very well be a contender

237
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 2: in that weak division that they're in.

238
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, players can do. And of course for what

239
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 3: woman Yama, He's gonna be looked at it and he

240
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 3: goes to you know, this NBA Summer League soon, so

241
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 3: he's gonna be you know, getting the opportunity to play

242
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 3: right away and we'll be able to see him. I

243
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 3: mean a summer league starts early July, like we get

244
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 3: the chance to see these players almost immediately. There's eyeballs

245
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 3: on him everywhere he goes. Now, I think an advantage

246
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 3: of playing internationally, and obviously you know he's from France,

247
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 3: is that he's played professional basketball for many years down

248
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 3: in France, and so he's gotten to kind of play

249
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 3: in a limelight with with with focus and attention on him.

250
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 3: So I think he'll be able to deal with the

251
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 3: media kind of all over him and everything he's he's

252
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 3: done will be watched because he's been able to do

253
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 3: that while he's played in France.

254
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 2: Right, But I don't think he's gonna dominate the game.

255
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: I think he'll be a good NBA player. I don't

256
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 2: think he's gonna be the goat by the because the

257
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 2: position he plays. He's not a seven to five, but

258
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 2: he's not a center. He's a perimeterive player.

259
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, look if he can. There's a play of his.

260
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 3: I don't know if you remember you saw this year

261
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 3: where he he shot a three pointer. All right, he

262
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 3: missed it, but he followed his shot and he dunked

263
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 3: the ball on on the follow right, So the ball

264
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 3: came off the rim and he dunked it back. Yet

265
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 3: he shot a three. He followed his shot to the

266
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 3: rim and he dunked the ball into the basket to

267
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 3: follow it up. Okay, the ball never hit the ground.

268
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 3: If he guys plays like that, Andy, he'll be a

269
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 3: generational player and we'll look at him is like, oh

270
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 3: my god. Now there's also the consideration of like, you know, Jordan,

271
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 3: did Jordan? Did Jordan change the NBA? Probably not, right, Like,

272
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 3: I don't know if the NBA was changed because the

273
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 3: magic and burget can of credit for that, right, Yeah,

274
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 3: you know, Lebron, as I mentioned earlier, changed the way

275
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 3: teams are built Steph Curry changed the way teams play

276
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 3: offense in the NBA. Is Wemba Yama player who's going

277
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 3: to change the NBA has played? No, no, right now again.

278
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 3: Can he be one of the best to ever do it? Absolutely,

279
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 3: there's all that potential is certainly there, But he's not

280
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 3: going to change the game quite those players. And that

281
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 3: doesn't mean he can't be a generational talent and one

282
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 3: of the best ever play. But I think that that

283
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 3: the hype is being put on him in like hey man,

284
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 3: like you're going to be this generational player which changes

285
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 3: the way the game is played, and you know you're

286
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 3: unicorn mole. There's just a lot of what IF's, I think,

287
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 3: And you know, he's lucky. They can happen, like they

288
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 3: can all happen. I think the talent's there, obviously, no one.

289
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 3: No one debates that.

290
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: I would say this. He's lucky playing in San Antonio,

291
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 2: which is kind of off Broadway. If he was playing

292
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 2: New York, Chicago, l A, Atlanta or whatever it may be,

293
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 2: the hype would be ridiculous and he'd be criticized on

294
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 2: a nightly basis. San Antonio is a little quiet of

295
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 2: media situation of Broadway. So it's good for him.

296
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 3: I think it's a perfect place. It's a perfect place

297
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 3: to go with a with a with a coaching staff

298
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 3: that has been obviously known to develop talent at a

299
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 3: high level. It's a really good place for for someone

300
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 3: to go of his of his stature. So I think

301
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 3: he should know. There was a chance he went to

302
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 3: like the Hornet's like, no, don't come to Charlotte. I

303
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 3: live in Charlotte, man like no, one no, Like that's

304
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 3: gonna be bad for you. So this is I think

305
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 3: a much better situation for him. Obviously.

306
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: There you go. We're just getting started here on Fox

Speaker 2: You're good friend, Jeff, You're good friend. Aaron Rodgers back

324
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 2: in the news, who's at a conference, a psychedelics conference

325
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: in Denver just the other day, and he proposed their acceptance.

326
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 2: He said that even these psychedelics are life changing. What

327
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 2: is wrong between the ears with this guy? Certainly a

328
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 2: first round Hall of Famer, but I tell you a

329
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 2: lot off the field, he's got some issues.

330
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 3: I think, well, you know, it's into alternative you know,

331
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 3: life treatments and stuff. I mean, is I don't, I don't.

332
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 3: I don't really knock anyone for finding different ways to

333
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 3: live their life. You know, just we've seen this be

334
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 3: very unique in his Quarterbacks typically aren't at psychedelic conferences. Right,

335
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 3: and it's something that you just have to accept if

336
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 3: you are a Jets front office member, is that he

337
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 3: he's going to be different, like just Aaron Rodgers is

338
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 3: going to be different, and you hope it doesn't affect

339
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 3: his play. You hope it doesn't change, you know, the

340
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 3: player that you have signed up up to have on

341
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 3: your team. But I think it's hard. I think it's

342
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 3: hard to say that it hasn't changed you. Rogers is

343
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 3: now again he is. He came off to MVP seasons,

344
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 3: played a little bit, you know, a little bit down

345
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 3: ish last year compared to his standard. Maybe that was

346
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 3: his injuries, maybe it wasn't, but I think it's I

347
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 3: think it's difficult to to think you're gonna get that

348
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 3: MVP player just based off of his talent on the field.

349
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 3: Right again, last year it wasn't as good. And that

350
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 3: happens when you get older. I think that's what it is, right,

351
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 3: He's getting older and we look at a player like

352
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 3: Tom Brady and think that's how everyone ages. No, No,

353
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 3: everyone ages like Aaron Rodgers does, right, where you get

354
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 3: just a little bit worse sort of, you know, each

355
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 3: short year you get older, things diminish a little bit,

356
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 3: And the question is whether or not, you know, maybe

357
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 3: he's preparing and mentally in the same place he was

358
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,719
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago. And I don't know if

359
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 3: that's really the case right now. I think that's the worry,

360
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 3: right and again, you can believe whatever you want, who cares.

361
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 3: But the worry is that it's going to make him

362
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 3: a little bit less of a player. And that's obviously

363
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 3: what the Jets, you know, they signed up for, you know,

364
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 3: search up a player, and they're hoping they get that guy.

365
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: Look, he said he used his drug. I think it's

366
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 2: ayauasca alahuasca, and he said that he first used it

367
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty, and he says now he wants to

368
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 2: talk about it, but said the NFL said that last

369
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 2: year the Rogers' use of that was not considered a

370
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 2: violation of the NFL's drug policy because it wouldn't have

371
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 2: triggered a positive test result, not either the substance abuse

372
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 2: or performance enhancing substance policy. So what's the big deal

373
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 2: that I guess he could use it. Let him use it.

374
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 2: Then if he wants to push it, that's fine. Let

375
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 2: him push it. But he says it helps him bomb

376
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 2: with his teammates. If he thinks it helps him play better,

377
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 2: let him use it, you know, I mean he wants

378
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,959
Speaker 2: to sell it to everybody else. Let him use it too.

379
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 2: It doesn't bother me. I just think that here's a

380
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 2: guy that just likes to betistical, right.

381
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, Look, I think the question obviously is

382
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 3: is does any of this make him a better quarterback?

383
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 2: He says, a worst quarterback?

384
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 3: Like is this? Is it? Are these things that that

385
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 3: he's been taking that tournament into m v P or

386
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 3: tournament to sort of what we saw last year? Right?

387
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 3: Like that? Is that? To me? Is the question. It's

388
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 3: not whether or not he's taking a secon dalleks or

389
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 3: what he believes politically, or if he you know, I

390
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 3: saw him in the in that conversation about you know,

391
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 3: debating and the you know, we whatever whatever man who cares.

392
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 3: It is a question of whether or not any of

393
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 3: these make him a better quarterback or worse sort because

394
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 3: you're you're you're either getting better or getting worse, right,

395
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 3: there's no one between. And the Jets obviously hope that

396
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 3: he's a player that's getting better than he is currently

397
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 3: is now, and we won't know that until you know,

398
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 3: the season's played.

399
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 2: Obviously, I found it very humorous. I think he had

400
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 2: a quote several weeks ago he said that he didn't

401
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 2: get much support in green Bay. Now I look at

402
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 2: the New York Jets rosters like green Bay East, It's

403
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 2: it's amazing. Really, I mean, does he realize what he's saying?

404
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I get it there was some problems greet.

405
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 2: The problem we had a Green Bay is when they

406
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 2: drafted a quarterback, Jordan Love. That was his major problem.

407
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 2: I guess without without checking in with him, so to speak.

408
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 3: Well, I think what's crazy is that, you know, he's

409
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 3: continued to talk about Green Bay and they have moved

410
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 3: on from him, and he sounds like, you know, kind

411
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 3: of like the scoring lover, right, because I promise you

412
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 3: no one in Green Bay is talking to Anon Rodgers.

413
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 3: They're not They're on Jordan Love. They're getting in for

414
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 3: their season and they're not at all thinking about what

415
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 3: what Avery Rodgers saying or doing. Yet he is just

416
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 3: won't stop talking about him. And I don't know if

417
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 3: he's trying to convince the fans like, hey, guys, this

418
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 3: is this is why I left, and you have to

419
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 3: support me. And who cares well, fans are on this season.

420
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 3: He just he won't stop talking about him. Man, he

421
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 3: just won't.

422
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 2: I'm not a psychiatrist by any leaps of a bounds,

423
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: and no doubt about that. But here's a guy from

424
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: a distance just listening to him and watching him in action.

425
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 2: Wants to be loved big time. He needs to. I

426
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 2: mean he wants attention on and off the field. I

427
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 2: mean that It started about a year or so ago

428
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 2: with he wanted to be hosting Jeopardy. I mean everything

429
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 2: he did was all about him. And that's fine. You

430
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 2: know people, there were many people like that. But look

431
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 2: this is where he's at now. He's into the psychedelics. Fine,

432
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 2: take him, I don't care. You want to sell with

433
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 2: everybody else, that's fine, he claims back in twenty twenty,

434
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 2: and helped him win an MVP. All right, fine to.

435
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 3: Take it again again. If it's helping your play, no

436
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 3: one cares at all. Right. If it's hurting your play,

437
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 3: people care. And it's that simple, by the way, for everything,

438
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 3: not just psychodelics. Anything you do in the game of football,

439
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 3: if it helps you win, it's a little on traditional. Great.

440
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 3: If it doesn't help you win, then people are gonna

441
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 3: are gonna talk about it and make it become an

442
00:21:54,800 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 3: issue for Rogers again. If he plays up to this capability,

443
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 3: and the Jets have the longest playoff drought in pro

444
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 3: sports right now, after the Mariners made the playoffs and

445
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 3: then the Kings made the playoffs in the NBA, and

446
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 3: so the Jets are twelve years. If he's able to

447
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 3: help him make the playoffs, no one cares what medicine

448
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 3: he's taking for his body. No one cares what the

449
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 3: delxy's taking. No one cares if he's immunized or as

450
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 3: a vaccine shot and he you know this, no one cares.

451
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 3: They will only care if you help them win or lose.

452
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 2: The more I hear about him, the more I read

453
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 2: about him, the more I realize how much pressure is

454
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 2: on the Jets to win now, not just make the playoffs.

455
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 2: You have to go deep in the playoffs, say the

456
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 2: super Bowl. They got to win and win bit big

457
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 2: because if they don't, I think they have got a

458
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 2: clear house GM coach. It'll be big time gone. That's

459
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 2: the way it.

460
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 3: Will be bad. And if they don't win, like Jets

461
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 3: fans have said, well we haven't we haven't won it

462
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 3: so long, Like who cares like we can No, no, no,

463
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 3: you better you better in like immediately now because otherwise

464
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 3: you're gonna it's gonna be bad. You have two years

465
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 3: of Aaron Rodgers. You have to win now, there's no

466
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 3: you just have to do it. I think the minimum

467
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 3: this year has to be a playoff appearance. I would

468
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 3: say that getting to the division around is probably the

469
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 3: most important thing right now for this year. Like, if

470
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 3: you make the division around, you feel like you're in

471
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 3: the right direction. That's important to feel that way after

472
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 3: year one.

473
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 2: I'm with you right there, Jeff Schwartz, Andy Furman. This

474
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 2: is Fox Sports Sunday at Fox Sports Radio and coming

475
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 2: up next on Fox Sports Sunday Life from thetiraq dot

476
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 2: Com studios. Keep away from my players. That's the call

477
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 2: for one football coach. That's next. But first, Kevin Wyatt

478
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 2: with all your sports.

479
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 4: Well, it was an offensive output for the record books

480
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 4: for the La Angels on Saturday night. They beat the

481
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 4: Rockies get this twenty five to one, and they were

482
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 4: ahead twenty three nothing after only four innings. And it's

483
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 4: the most run scored through the first four innings of

484
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 4: a game in the last fifty years. The previous franchise

485
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 4: record for the Angels a twenty four to two win

486
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 4: against the Toronto Blue Jays back in nineteen seventy nine.

487
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 4: And get this for a stat the Denver Broncos for

488
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 4: us poorly as twenty twenty two win for them. They

489
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 4: had one loss by twenty four points or more. The

490
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 4: Rockies on Saturday match that dubious number. There was a

491
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 4: trade that went through after that game concluded, the Rockies

492
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 4: and Angels agreeing to send Mike Mustakis to Anaheim in

493
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 4: exchange for a couple of minor league players. The Dodgers

494
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 4: were to come from behind win. They beat the Astros

495
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 4: eight to seven, getting the go ahead run on a

496
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 4: back hall in the bottom of the eighth inning. The

497
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 4: San Francisco Giants beat the first place Arizona Diamondbacks seven

498
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 4: to six, and the Cubs beat the Cardinals nine to one.

499
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 4: In the London series, the Reds twelve game winning streak

500
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 4: comes to an end as the Atlanta Braves snap it

501
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 4: no seven to six win, each team with four home

502
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 4: runs in that game. The Blue Jays beat the Oakland

503
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 4: Athletics seven to three. Is Oakland now just twenty and

504
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 4: fifty nine on the season. Kansas City Royals aren't doing

505
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 4: much better, but they did have a win on Saturday.

506
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 4: They beat the best team in baseball, the Tampa Bay Rays.

507
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 4: Final score in that one nine to four. The upstar

508
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 4: Baltimore Orioles get an extra innings win against the Mariners

509
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 4: six to four. The Mets with a four to two

510
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 4: win over the Phillies. The Yankees shutout the Rangers won nothing.

511
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 4: College World Series opening game of the Championship round. LSU

512
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 4: gets a home run in the eleventh inning to beat

513
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 4: Florida four to three. Opening game of the Gold Cup.

514
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:45,040

531
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 2: Who has ever called out another coach today? It doesn't,

532
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:34,720

533
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 3: Well, the only one I can I can remember. You know,

535
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 3: are set up, it's just it's it's just not gonna

536
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 3: change very much. Right, So, for those who are maybe unaware,

537
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 3: if you listen to the show, good morning, Welcome in

538
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 3: college football. Now. The transfer portal, right, is the capability

539
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 3: for you to commit to one school, be playing at

540
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 3: one school, then leave without without recourse to a second school.

541
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 3: And it used to be you have to sit out

542
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 3: a year, and it was a big deal for you

543
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 3: to have to transfer. Not anymore, And it has become

544
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 3: a situation where it's basically the NFL fregency with no

545
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 3: limitations right in the NFL. In the NFL, you have

546
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 3: to you're a salary cap, you have you know, certain

547
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 3: number of players you can sign, sort of much of

548
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 3: money you have to spend college football, and it's a

549
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 3: free for all. Right, what's happening? And I get this.

550
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 3: I have a funny who coaches as a head coach

551
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 3: at a group of five school, So I understand, I understand.

552
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 3: It's pain. I've talked about this before. Is you have

553
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 3: these group of five programs like UAB that you know,

554
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 3: they get a lower tier player out of high school,

555
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 3: a two, two star, three star player. They coach up

556
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 3: that player, and then all of a sudden, a power

557
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 3: five school comes and calls that player and says, hey, man,

558
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 3: do you want to come to my school? And of

559
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 3: course they want to go, right, because who wants no

560
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 3: offense to to turn Delfer into Alabama and Birmingham. But

561
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 3: if Nick Saban comes calling, you're going from UAB to

562
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 3: Alabama like very simple, right, And coaches are just openly

563
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 3: doing this now, right. It used to have to be.

564
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 3: It used to be something where it was done quietly.

565
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 3: But because of the new rules of the open transfer

566
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 3: portal of the way that your communication can be had

567
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 3: now via direct messages and and other ways to communicate

568
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 3: with with players. Coaches are now just openly recruiting players. Uh,

569
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 3: it's it's you know, and I get it right, ageain

570
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 3: you if you're trying delfer, you've you've spent time and

571
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 3: energy in trying to develop a player at UAB. You

572
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 3: get that player to develop, you do a good job.

573
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 3: You do your job, and then a school comes calling

574
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 3: who really you know and don't have an interest and

575
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 3: said player years ago, and then that player is gone.

576
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,719
Speaker 2: It's hypocritical because someone comes calling for Trent Dilford, if

577
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 2: Alabama comes calling for him, he's gonna go to just

578
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 2: just a nature to be it's hypocritical.

579
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 3: But also it just you know, he can also do

580
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 3: the same thing, like he can also tamper and get

581
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 3: other players to come to U A B. And I

582
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 3: think it's just very difficult for him to be the

583
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 3: situation and say, hey man, I'm gonna I'm gonna rode

584
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 3: on my coaches because that it's not gonna be great again.

585
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 3: I feel I feel bad for him because you know,

586
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 3: it definitely is it's not great when you have a

587
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 3: situation where you develop a player and then all of

588
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 3: a sudden that player leaves. But that's the name of

589
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 3: the game. Now.

590
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 2: I read a couple of coaches he said the other days,

591
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 2: unquoting him. Right now, by the way, come and try

592
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: to get my guys. This is what he said. I

593
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 2: dare you, I dare you, palifies. I got a pretty

594
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 2: big platform me that I can step on. And if

595
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 2: I find out you're getting my kids d MS directly

596
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 2: club and if I find you talking to the high

597
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 2: school coaches about my kids, if you're in my roster,

598
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna call your ass sound I'm going to say

599
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 2: it by name to the biggest voices in TV today.

600
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 2: Is I believe me talking a big game. But he

601
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 2: can't stop it. There's no way.

602
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, he can't stop it. And I don't think in

603
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 3: the Indian's gonna call He's gonna you know, he's gonna

604
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 3: be the person that calls you know, players out and

605
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 3: coach you. Right.

606
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 2: He's not gonna make any friends with coaches either by doing.

607
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 3: This, and then you know they're all the all these

608
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 3: clients and stuff. I look again, I empathize with these

609
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 3: coaches who have to deal with this because it's it

610
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 3: makes their life. It makes coaching a lot more difficult,

611
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 3: and coaching obviously is already tough enough as it is.

612
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 3: So but again, I I don't feel terribly bad for them.

613
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 2: You know, at this I don't think this is what

614
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 2: the n C Double A and college coaches envisioned when

615
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 2: they had the portal. I gotta believe this someddums to

616
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 2: this thing down the road.

617
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 3: So I was I was anti transfer portal. I almost

618
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 3: anti trying portal, but I was. And I sort of

619
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 3: the way this was going just because of this reason,

620
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 3: like this felt very inevitable where it became fre agency

621
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 3: without without actually any sort of barriers. And I had

622
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 3: this debate with my radio coast and and Sean O'Connell

623
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 3: was fantastic. We've been doing radio for many years together,

624
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 3: you know, and he said, well, you know the portal

625
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 3: will be used for you know, by players that you'll

626
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 3: go somewhere, realize it's not a fit for them, and

627
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 3: move it along. And I said, no, no, no, no, it's

628
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 3: gonna turn into what it is now, which is just

629
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 3: a free for all, a free for all. And it

630
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 3: has because there's so much money evolved now and it's

631
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 3: hard to think that, you know, there's not going to

632
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 3: be a situation where, you know, these these major programs

633
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 3: with with with with money aren't going to try to

634
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 3: invest in players that they didn't have to develop. They're

635
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 3: already ready to go. And so this this is why

636
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 3: I figured what happened. It didn't it turned into like

637
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 3: again a free for all, or some of the best

638
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 3: players are leaving. You spent four or five years somewhere

639
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 3: and you're and you're out all of a sudden because again,

640
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,239
Speaker 3: you know, like that you found a better place to go,

641
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,719
Speaker 3: and it's not great. It's not great. The last thing.

642
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 3: This is a very kind of like, you know, get

643
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 3: off my law on old Man type of take. But

644
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 3: I do think that players, it's sometimes the at the

645
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 3: kind of first hit of adversity, are leaving, and to me,

646
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 3: that's really not what the portal should be about. You know,

647
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 3: you can there are times that it's worth to battle

648
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 3: through that adversity, and I don't think enough, I think enough,

649
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 3: I don't think enough players are doing that. I think

650
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 3: that they are. Immediately a coach doesn't like me, I'm

651
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 3: not playing I'm out of here. To me, that's really

652
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 3: not the reason for the portal either. Right where. You know,

653
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 3: I think most of us Andy have stories of of

654
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 3: kind of sticking through things in college football and becoming

655
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 3: a better player because of it, and that that kind

656
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 3: of goes away if you can transfer right away when

657
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 3: you're upset at your coach.

658
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 2: You exactly right. I want to move on to something

659
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 2: else in just a second. I want to talk about

660
00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 2: this nil name image and likeness situation I'm into. How

661
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 2: when I'm reading about this women basketball player LSU making millions?

662
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the women gymnast at LSU making millions. These

663
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 2: twin basketball players University of Miami, Florida making millions, How

664
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 2: does that happen? Where are they getting the money from?

665
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 2: I don't understand. Really, Okay, those women basketball players at

666
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 2: Miami will be making more money on NIL than they

667
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 2: would if they went to the WNBA.

668
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. The Cabinet twins, Yeah, they've retired now from basketball,

669
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 3: so they didn't you know, they didn't pursue. One of

670
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 3: them is really good. She's like a fifteen point game

671
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 3: point guard. So it's it's social media, Andy. They have

672
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 3: a lot of social media following and they're getting. So

673
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 3: there's two. There's two factors when it comes to NIL.

674
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 3: There's two. There's two buckets of nil money. The first

675
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 3: bucket of nil money is the traditional name image. You

676
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 3: like this, right, you have a following on social media,

677
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 3: You're going to get a marketing deal because of it.

678
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 3: Like that is. That's that's one. That's one bucket of it,

679
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 3: which is really within the intended purpose. And they age

680
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 3: like this right, is that you are again you know

681
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 3: you have a following. We're gonna use that following to

682
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 3: market who you are, and you're gonna end up with money,

683
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 3: which is what I me and you can do. Right,

684
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 3: if we have a social media following, if we have

685
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 3: attention toward us, we can go ahead and use that

686
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 3: following to make money. So that's what they're doing, right.

687
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 3: They have a lot of social media followers, they're marketable,

688
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 3: and they're getting social media deals and they're getting deals

689
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 3: to be brand brand ambassadors. It makes total sense. The

690
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 3: other part of the NIL is what we just talked

691
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 3: about kind of what the portal is that it's just

692
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 3: like pay for play now where players are getting money

693
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:42,439
Speaker 3: to play at certain universities. That obviously is is different.

694
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 3: That's not really what the intended purpose of nil was.

695
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 2: Amazing, it really is. The whole situation is I'm gonna

696
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 2: say it's out of whack, but it's crazy. But I'm

697
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 2: happy for the kids. They can make the money. It's perfect.

698
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 2: He's Jeff Schwartz, I'm Andy Furman. We are Fox Sports

699
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 2: Sunning of Fox Sports Radio. Now the man is a cook,

700
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,399

714
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 2: hit for the Cycle of Friday with the Cincinnati Rids.

715
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 2: What is the hardest thing in your mind to do

716
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 2: in the world.

717
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 3: Of sports hardest like single thing.

718
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 2: Yes, the hardest feet like pitching a no hitter in baseball.

719
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I think, I think the one that will

720
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 3: never be broken ever is the caw Ripkens game starter streak.

721
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone's ever gonna do that ever again.

722
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 3: Is that the hardest thing to do? I don't know.

723
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 3: I think, I think, I think. I mean, I think

724
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 3: hitting a baseball feels like one of the hardest things

725
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,760
Speaker 3: to do in sports, right, the hardest.

726
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 2: Well, you say, you say the streak will never be broken.

727
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,720
Speaker 2: I think the back to back Johnny Vandermer no hitters,

728
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 2: because you'd have to pitch three no hitters to break

729
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 2: that record. He pitched back to back no hitten Yeah.

730
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 3: But it's not like a record from like from like

731
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 3: nineteen oh two.

732
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 2: It's a baseball record. I mean, it's in nineteen thirties.

733
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 3: I think, like, yeah, that's why I see the baseball record.

734
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 3: Thing is there's a lot of baseball records that.

735
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 2: Angel You can't get a pitcher to pitch back to

736
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 2: back for complete games, little little no hitters.

737
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that feels But I think I think hitting

738
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 3: a baseball it feels like one of the hardest things

739
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 3: to do in all sports. That that's all. It's hard

740
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 3: and it's difficult. It's a difficult skill to have.

741
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 2: All right, what about football? Any difficult skills in football?

742
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm playing offensive line is kind of hard.

743
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, I know you'd go there.

744
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. It feels

745
00:36:59,120 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 3: like a hard thing to do.

746
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 2: We'll get to that later on.

747
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 3: Okay.

748
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 2: Speaking of the Cincinnati rates, they're in first place in

749
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 2: the NL Central FC Cincinnati and MLS. They're in first

750
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 2: place in the MLS East and the Bengals are Super

751
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 2: Bowl contenders right now. So, which, in your mind is

752
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 2: the best sports city in America?

753
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 3: Best sports in America? I mean it's got to be

754
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 3: Los Angeles, right, I mean, they're very passionate about all

755
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 3: their sports, other sports teams. Best sports city in America?

756
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 3: What would you give that? I don't even know best

757
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 3: sports in America.

758
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of college as well as pro

759
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, New York is out, but because

760
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 2: there's no colleges to speak of basically in New York City, LA.

761
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 2: Maybe you know US.

762
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 3: Sorts City's you know, they were in Texas.

763
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 2: There was a time when I would say Detroit, when

764
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 2: the Red Wings were tough and the Pistons were good,

765
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 2: and you got good college football there as well. So

766
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 2: but I think that's gone down the crapper over the years,

767
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 2: but Detroit was up there. Yeah, any volunteers, any volunteers.

768
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 3: I feel like any of the I feel like a

769
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 3: lot of the college towns man they just just love

770
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 3: their their sports man.

771
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 2: Maybe what about Houston, University of Houston.

772
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 3: But what what what makes someone a you know what

773
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 3: what makes a town a great sports town? Just winning

774
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 3: successful teams? I would think, yeah, yeah, since that he's

775
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 3: up there right now.

776
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 2: Now they are now, they'll see what happens. Okay, uh,

777
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 2: we'll leave it at that. Maybe someone could join us

778

Speaker 2: on Twitter. LL give us a call next hour about that.

779
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 2: Speaking of best, Travis Kelcey won't let this few with Bengals.

780
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 2: WHI I receive a Jamar Chase Rest. What's the best

781
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 2: spat in sports? You must have seen it on the

782
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 2: teams you played, you know, guys that just don't like

783
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 2: other guys and other teams.

784
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, yeah, there were some, there

785
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 3: were some of the Panthers come to mind. Uh, we

786
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 3: had a two to four year there was a lot

787
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 3: of infighting, a lot of players, you know, not liking

788
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 3: each other. I feel like on a team there's some

789
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 3: of that, but that you know, winning takes care of

790
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 3: that obviously. As I mentioned, when you're losing not great,

791
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 3: all right, it makes it much worse. But winning helps

792
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:24,320
Speaker 3: cure a lot of that. But feuds, feuds between teams

793
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 3: is fantastic for sprits. Man.

794
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 2: What about feuds between players on the same team. Yeah,

795
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 2: you guys that you played with you didn't like, but

796
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 2: I didn't like you.

797
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, there were times that I pretty much go along

798
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 3: with everyone. But there's obviously there's some bad apples in uh,

799
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 3: in every sort of situation, and you, again, you you

800
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 3: try to make it work as best you can. Winning

801
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 3: helps a lot better. Winning. Winning makes it happen. Man

802
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:55,919
Speaker 3: makes it happen.

803

00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 2: There you go. Yeah, I got quick a quick question.

825
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,240
Speaker 2: How many hours do you think you spend a week

826
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,240
Speaker 2: watching sports on TV?

827
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:06,479
Speaker 3: A lot?

828
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 2: I mean, but you would watch that, like I feel

829
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 2: the same way as you. You would watch that regardless

830
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 2: if you had to do a sports talk showing on

831
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 2: because you just love sports.

832
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, but it's a great excuse to like it's

833
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 3: a great like, hey, Han, sorry, I gotta watch this

834
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 3: game because I got to talk about it tomorrow.

835
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 2: Right That that's the key, that's the crutch we use,

836
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 2: that's the that's the life we live. It really is.

837
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,439
Speaker 2: But there are some sports right now that I don't

838
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 2: think that I would watch if I didn't have to

839
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 2: talk about it. But there was some I watch even

840
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 2: though we don't talk about them. I mean, we don't

841
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,280
Speaker 2: talk much about the College World Series or the Women's

842
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 2: Softball Series, but I watch them because they're intriguing to me.

843
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 2: They're they're cognating.

844
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, the way that we can consume sports now with

845
00:41:56,360 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 3: the ability to watch them on your phone, on your iPad.

846
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 3: I mean there are many nights where I'm on my

847
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 3: iPad in bed, we're watching we just started watching Succession.

848
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 3: We're watching Succession in bed, and I'm also watching the

849
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 3: game of my iPad, Like we can do that, and

850
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 3: she accepts that that's that's gonna be the case. So

851
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 3: there's there's many ways to I don't have to just

852
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 3: watch on the television. Obviously, the you know, it's a

853
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 3: better experience. Possibly then also, you know, she falls asleep

854
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 3: in bed, I'll put the game on. But you can

855
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 3: just watch games a lot differently now. I mean, your

856
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 3: iPad is a giant screen, right, so I can do

857
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 3: it in many different ways. I don't have to just

858
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 3: sit there front of television to watch, you know, games. So,

859
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 3: but she is very accepting now of of my my

860
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 3: TV watching.

861
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 2: There you go. You know a couple of bits and

862
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 2: pieces about the NBA Draft and that in particular draft pick.

863
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 2: But the Golden State Warriors they agreed on Thursday. I

864
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 2: believe it was to acquire Chris Paul from the Washington Wizards,

865
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 2: who was traded by Phoena to Washington exchange for Jordan

866
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 2: Poole and some draft picks. Okay, And I don't understand

867
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 2: why the Golden State Warriors would look for a thirty

868
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 2: eight year old guy in Chris Pool. I mean, to me,

869
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 2: you got to revamp the team and go young, and

870
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 2: they're trying to squeeze one more championship out of these guys.

871
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 2: With Steph is thirty five and Chris Pool is thirty eight.

872
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 2: That didn't make any sense to him.

873
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it was more about getting rid of

874
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 3: the Jordan Poole contract and less about Chris Paul right,

875
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 3: because that Jordan Poole deal just very clearly is not

876
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 3: going to work out. And I think the best teams

877
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 3: in sports we've seen this, whether it is in basketball,

878
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 3: but it's much easier, I think, in football to have

879
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 3: this because the roster changes so quick and impactful times.

880
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 3: You know, Bill Belichick has always done this, right, the hint,

881
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 3: the little hint that the smallest of hints that hey,

882
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 3: this is not going to work out, right, like we

883
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 3: just we we thought it would have work. We paid you,

884
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,879
Speaker 3: it didn't work out, you're gone, or it's worked out great,

885
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 3: but you know we're gonna let you go one year

886
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 3: before we think you really are done. Okay. We see

887
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 3: this all the time, right, and we praised Belichick for that.

888
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 3: This feels like the situation with the Jordan Poole contract

889
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 3: where Jordan Poole in the playoffs this year is very clear,

890
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 3: like we paid this guy, you know, it's just it's

891
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 3: not what we thought we were getting after we paid him.

892
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 3: Plus the whole Draymond Green punch thing. It just it's

893
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 3: it's just it's it's not working like we thought. So

894
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 3: we're gonna move off your contract and we get Chris

895
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,479
Speaker 3: Paul a veteran player, a leader, you know, someone who's

896
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 3: chasing a ring. So he's there for a specific purpose, right,

897
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 3: Like there's he knows what you know why he's there.

898
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 3: You know Steph Curry, if you noticed in in you know,

899
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 3: in the postseason, how much did he have to do

900
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 3: for that offense? Bring the ball up, control the you know,

901
00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 3: control the tempo, control the pace, make plays. And now

902
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 3: Chris Paul being in the lineup can take some of

903
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 3: that pressure away from him. He doesn't have to do

904
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:10,359
Speaker 3: everything offense correct. Now does Draymond Green come back? Who

905
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 3: knows he's he excites to player option, you know, Klay

906
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 3: Thompson needs to you know, kind of hopefully return close

907
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 3: to close to what he was, what he's been for

908
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,720
Speaker 3: them to win. But it makes sense for those reasons,

909
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 3: just get out out of the pool contract. Like it's

910
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 3: it's just they don't want that contract.

911
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 2: Anymore, you know what, And you're right with the contract

912
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 2: because you know, when there's a question in sports, maybe

913
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 2: the question in life, you guys have to go back.

914
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 2: It's always about the green bags. But the guilt it's

915
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 2: all about money, it really is. But I think with

916
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 2: the situation with Draymond Green and Jordan Poole when he

917
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:42,720
Speaker 2: smacked him around pretty good. I think it was in practice.

918
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 2: I just don't think the guy's a good egg to

919
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 2: be on the team. I think they wanted them out well.

920
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 3: And you don't think he's a bad locker room teammate guy.

921
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 3: I just think that the Draymond Green Jordan Poole thing

922
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 3: was just not great for team chemistry, right. It's not

923
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 3: great when a veteran player hits a young player like that.

924
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 3: It's not great. The video got out. I mean, there's

925
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,240
Speaker 3: many things that it's I think I think the Warriors

926
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 3: just said, look, man, let's get office deals. As I

927
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 3: just said, like we we it's best to move to

928
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 3: move it along, and that's what they did, and I

929
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 3: think that's I think it's smarter them to feel, okay,

930
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 3: like we again, we have what we determined that this is.

931
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 3: Is it like we've he's not our guy, Let's move

932
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 3: it along. A lot of teams take too long to

933
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 3: make that decision, right.

934
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 2: A big question I got to ask, and it is

935
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,800
Speaker 2: a general question in the world of sports, your thoughts

936
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 2: on free agency as a player, you know, because certainly

937
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 2: you don't want to be owned by by an organization.

938
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 2: In other words, you were for company A, and basically

939
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 2: a company B is across the street, and you perform

940
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 2: the same service for company B, and they go for

941
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 2: you twice a salary, you're gonna jump the company B.

942
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 2: But in sports is a different animal. I think people

943
00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 2: I truly enjoy the fact that one guy was with

944
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 2: one team for ten, twelve, twenty years of his career.

945
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 3: Well, it's obviously if you're you know, a fan of

946
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:07,879
Speaker 3: a team, the afraigency is not not really great, right

947
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,879
Speaker 3: because you lose you mentioned like you lose players, right.

948
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 3: You know you're you're a Bengals fan, right, and you

949
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:15,839
Speaker 3: know you got a couple more years of this kind

950
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 3: of group, and then you see if you can pay everyone. Right.

951
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 3: But also, if you are a fan of players, you

952
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 3: got to imagine you are a fan of them being

953
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 3: able to make as much money as possible, right, Just

954
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,320
Speaker 3: like in your walk of life, you know you're able

955
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 3: to leave and find another job that you would like

956
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 3: as well, right, And so I think that's you know,

957
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 3: fragency has made it to where players have generational wealth now, right,

958
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:43,439
Speaker 3: Players able to play the game of football and set

959
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 3: their families and their families and their families up for

960
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 3: for life, you know, much later, you know, after after

961
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 3: ball's done. So there's so many pausitives with Ragie. I

962
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 3: get it. As a fan, I get like it. You know,

963
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 3: my thing is toughest in baseball right where. You know,

964
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 3: I'm a Giants baseball fan and we're have an incredible

965
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,320
Speaker 3: you know, June June, you know, end of May and June.

966
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 3: But you know this team is like completely different from

967
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 3: last year, just the way it is in sports, and

968
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 3: so I get it as a fan. It's really tough

969
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 3: as a player, man, you know, it's obviously it changed

970
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 3: my life. The ideal I was able to get it

971
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 3: took already year seven because I have health to get

972
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 3: that kind of second contract to quote unquot and second contract,

973
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:25,359
Speaker 3: and I you know, the one thing I always find

974
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 3: so interesting when we talk about these things, especially social media,

975
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 3: is how many people seem to sort of root for

976
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 3: ownership in these situations, right they do. And maybe it's

977
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 3: because the ownership of a team it feels like it's

978
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 3: the team, right, like, and you want the best for

979
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 3: your physical team, right like, I'm again, let's use the

980
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 3: team like I'm a Chiefs fan, I want as a

981
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 3: Chiefs fan, let's just take my take me as as

982
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 3: a former player. You know, I'm I want the Chiefs

983
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 3: to succeed, and so I want certain players to stay

984
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 3: on the Chiefs because that helps the Chiefs be better.

985
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 3: So I'm rooting for players to stay on the Chiefs

986
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 3: because I want us to be as good as we

987
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 3: can be. And so when a player leaves for for

988
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:17,760
Speaker 3: more money, I'm very bummed out. But guys, the player

989
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:21,760
Speaker 3: is like getting is making money and taking the money

990
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 3: from the billionaire. Like if you were in any other

991
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 3: walk of life, you know you you'd be rooting for

992
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 3: the employee over the maneuv a little bit. But I

993
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 3: think that again, like people look at don't feel that

994
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 3: way about ownership because they you know, the ownership and

995
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,759
Speaker 3: the team are synonymous. Again, and you in your in

996
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 3: your walk, in your job right now, if you're listening

997
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,839
Speaker 3: to the show, you'd be like, stick out to the man, right,

998
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 3: stick to the boss boss, Like I yeah, yeah, make

999
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 3: as much money as you can. But for somehow, professional

1000
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:01,760
Speaker 3: athletes sometimes that that wiring its sweat. It's it's very interesting.

1001
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 2: Because the paying fan, the paying slob that goes to

1002
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:06,760
Speaker 2: a game intrise a couple of beers and buys a ticket.

1003
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 2: He sees Joe Blow wearing the team uniform with the

1004
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 2: name of the city in the front and his name

1005
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 2: on the back, and he's buying that jersey to wear.

1006
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 2: And next year that guy's are on the team because

1007
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 2: he because he thinks that guy has it as an

1008
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 2: allegiance to the team, and he loves the loyalty. Didn't

1009
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 2: even it's not that way. He's loyalty when the game starts,

1010
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 2: but after it's all over, its business, there is no

1011
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 2: loyalty anymore. Right, Yeah, Orlando Brown, Right, he played against

1012
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,280
Speaker 2: the Bengals for Kansas City. Now he's now he's blocking

1013
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,839
Speaker 2: for Joe Burrow in Cincinnati. I mean this proved positive, right, I.

1014
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 3: Mean yeah, it's very interesting. I mean Orlando Brown is

1015
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 3: a great, a great example right where the Chiefs changed

1016
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 3: his life, right, I mean the Chiefs. He went from

1017
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 3: the Bengal as the Ravens to the Chiefs. He won

1018
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl. He's a pro bowler now, and they

1019
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 3: paid him a lot of money in that in that

1020
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 3: kind of franchise that year. And then now he's a

1021
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 3: Bengal and they're going to play the Chiefs December thirty

1022
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 3: first in Kansas City. You know, the Bengals and Chiefs

1023
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 3: have a rivalry now, which I think is fantastic for

1024
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 3: for for football. And he's going to go into the

1025
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 3: Arrowhead and he's gonna be booed right as a Beangal.

1026
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 3: He's going to feel that the other animosity from Chiefs fans.

1027
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 3: And just last year he was you know, he was

1028
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:23,240
Speaker 3: at that, he was at a you know, the parade

1029
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,839
Speaker 3: with the zero sack shirt on right. They love zero sacks, right,

1030
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 3: And so mentally you have to make that switches a player.

1031
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 3: I didn't have that situation in my career, but it's

1032
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 3: very drastic for Orlando Brown to do that so quickly.

1033
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,839
Speaker 3: But that's it. But I think to Andy, a lot

1034
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 3: of the players, you know, grown up in an era

1035
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:45,360
Speaker 3: of fregency, right I know, I certainly have you know,

1036
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 3: Orlando Brown's father playing in the NFL. You know, with

1037
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:53,320
Speaker 3: the transfer portal now, as you mentioned earlier, college football

1038
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 3: is sort of feels like fregency right now. So I

1039
00:51:55,760 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 3: think there's not like this. It's not a new sensation

1040
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 3: for players to have to have to leave because of

1041
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 3: all these factors in college and growing up with you know,

1042
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,919
Speaker 3: seeing fregency kind of in your face. So players don't

1043
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 3: feel I think, quite as as awkward about it, maybe

1044
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 3: as fans might feel.

1045
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 5: You know.

1046
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:18,240
Speaker 2: Look, I remember as a kid growing up, the saying

1047
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 2: of the day was play me or trade me. You

1048
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 2: don't hear that much anymore thanks to free agency. Man.

1049
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 2: As a kid, I remember guys that were riding the

1050
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 2: bench on various teams that I was rooting for, and

1051
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,360
Speaker 2: they weren't playing it. They go out and they be

1052
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 2: very vocal in the media, play me or trade me,

1053
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 2: and they management would trade them at times. But there

1054
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 2: was no free agency back then. So I understand that.

1055
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 2: You know, the bottom line is this play. You want

1056
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 2: to have playing time and money, you know, maybe not

1057
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 2: in that order, maybe money and playing time that's where

1058
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 2: it's at right when you play?

1059
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:52,920
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean yes, absolutely. And again you know

1060
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 3: everyone wants to get paid because it's generational wealth, right,

1061
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 3: and you have to ask you to work for that wealth.

1062
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 3: You have to be good, be good player and being

1063
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 3: like one in the absolutely and again you know players

1064
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 3: worked their butts off for me. I look, man, I

1065
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 3: I was a practice. I was a seventh round draft pick.

1066
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 3: I started my career in practice squad. I played two years.

1067
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 3: I had hip surgery, another hip surgery. I got to Minnesota,

1068
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 3: I had a groin surgery. You know. Twenty twelve was

1069
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 3: my fifth year in the NFL. I was in Minnesota

1070
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 3: again with that bad groin. Didn't play very well, didn't

1071
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 3: play very much. I go to Kansas City, I'm healthy.

1072
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 3: I finally get a chance to show what I can do,

1073
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 3: and I get that big contract in year seven. Like

1074
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 3: I worked my butt off of that contract like that. That,

1075
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 3: And so there's a reward for a lot of guys

1076
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 3: like me that you know, put in a lot of

1077
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 3: time and sacrifice away from our families and and our

1078
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 3: entire life. It's consumed by football, and we get that,

1079
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 3: we get that payoff of them.

1080
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 2: How many times did you say to yourself, I'm packing

1081
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:54,319
Speaker 2: it in after all those injuries. And by the way,

1082
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:55,919
Speaker 2: I assume you were married at the time.

1083
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:59,320
Speaker 3: Did your wife I was not married yet.

1084
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 2: She would have probably said, it's enough, you want to

1085
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 2: just quit right?

1086
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 3: No, you know, my wife, I don't know if she

1087
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 3: like really paid attention to that at times, Like she's

1088
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 3: just like, oh, you're still playing football cool. I don't

1089
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 3: think she paid attention to like that the business part

1090
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,399
Speaker 3: of it at times. So I always you know, people

1091
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:22,839
Speaker 3: ask me this a lot, Indy, and I always say,

1092
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 3: I just played football till someone told me I couldn't

1093
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 3: play anymore. So I never thought of it as like, Okay,

1094
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 3: I'm I'm near the end. I certainly felt that way.

1095
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 3: My body felt that way in year nine, and I

1096
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 3: certainly I think my family and I decided that that

1097
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 3: wasn't probably my last year playing, but I don't remember.

1098
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 3: I just kept playing until someone told me I couldn't

1099
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 3: play anymore. There was never a time when I thought

1100
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 3: my career was over. I knew I was a good

1101
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 3: enough player if I just could get healthy, and I

1102
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 3: didn't and was able to play a long time. I

1103
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:54,720
Speaker 3: never felt that way, India, and I just kept playing

1104
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 3: man until someone told me I couldn't do it. I'm

1105
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:58,320
Speaker 3: gonna do this radio show till someone tells me I

1106
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 3: can't do it anymore, right, Like that, just the way

1107
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 3: I've always I've always been. I've worried about the what.

1108
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 2: If you know, had a beautiful, beautiful comparison you just said,

1109
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 2: because look, I never played pro football and never never

1110
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:13,839
Speaker 2: been in your shoes. But I feel the same way

1111
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 2: with the radio situation. Until someone says it gets a

1112
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,759
Speaker 2: hook and yanks me off, I'm gonna do it.

1113
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's if teams are gonna call me and I'm

1114
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 3: gonna keep getting a job, I'm keep playing, and then

1115
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 3: eventually the phone call stop and your career is over.

1116
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 3: Now I feel fortunate. So I was on basically four

1117
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 3: teams in four years, the last year of my rookie

1118
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 3: deal in Carolina, then Minnesota, and then Kansas City for

1119
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:40,360
Speaker 3: a year, and then the Giants. I was there for

1120
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:43,360
Speaker 3: two years. But you know, again like eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen,

1121
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:47,280
Speaker 3: four different cities, four different teams, and so I always

1122
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 3: I always knew it'd be over at some point because

1123
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 3: of just again, that's a lot of movement, right, a

1124
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,920
Speaker 3: lot of new every year, and you know, the one

1125
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 3: year deals, like you just know it's over at some point.

1126
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:02,840
Speaker 3: And so I felt, you're very prepared for my next

1127
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 3: my next life, right, because again I had spent so

1128
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 3: much time, you know, in the NFL free agency in

1129
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 3: the off season, not being on a team and start

1130
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 3: thinking about my future, and so I was I felt

1131
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 3: very prepared to transition to no longer playing football because

1132
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 3: I just I you know, when when you when you

1133
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 3: don't have that you know success at times in football,

1134
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 3: and you just right I was. I felt very prepared

1135
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:31,240
Speaker 3: to be retired when it was time to be retired.

1136
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:33,239
Speaker 3: Or I think other players who have a lot more

1137
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:36,799
Speaker 3: success than I did in my career, and that you know,

1138
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,800
Speaker 3: play on a certain team for nine, ten, twelve years,

1139
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:42,399
Speaker 3: it's tougher for them to make that, you know, that

1140
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 3: that tradition at times because they just everything sort of

1141
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:49,439
Speaker 3: you know, it becomes routine, it becomes easy, it becomes

1142
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:52,439
Speaker 3: something that you know, your life becomes playing for that team.

1143
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 3: I didn't have that because I was on so many

1144
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:54,839
Speaker 3: teams in so many years.

1157
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 2: That's next, it's the worst. We'll explain that in just

1158
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 2: about a minute. He is Jeff Schwartz, He's not the worst.

1159
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 2: I'm Andy Furman together with Fox Sports Sunday on Fox

1160
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 2: Sports Radio and rolling along right now, and we talk

1161
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 2: about the worst position to play in the NFL. I

1162
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 2: always thought it was your position, Jeff, I really did.

1163
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 2: I'll tell you why. It's a it's a grunt. I

1164
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 2: hate to say this to you, but it's kind of

1165
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 2: a grunt position. There's no respect, no respect, and there's

1166
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 2: no stats. And I never understood how one could get

1167
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 2: elected to the Hall of Fame playing an offense line

1168
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 2: position because obviously there's no statistical relevance to that position. Really,

1169
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, touchdowns for a quarterback, running yards

1170
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 2: for a running back, I mean things like that. There's

1171
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 2: no stats to justify how good you are at that position.

1172
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 3: Okay, so this is it's it's all pro votes, you know,

1173
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 3: all pro votes, and they count I believe three different

1174
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 3: you know, there's three different It's like the AP and

1175
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 3: there's a couple of different you know polls they use.

1176
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:33,440
Speaker 3: So it's yeah, it's that, that's a that's part of it.

1177
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 3: It's it's a p voting, all pro voting. You I've

1178
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:41,240
Speaker 3: always felt that, yeah, yeah, yeah, there you go. It

1179
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 3: does feel though, like you know, typically it's the best

1180
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 3: player or two of a generation. Like you get one

1181
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 3: center of generation, right you get three to four guards

1182
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 3: a generation. You get you know, three to four tackles

1183
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 3: a generation, and you know, after X amount of years,

1184
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 3: know who they are. Like currently right now in the

1185
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 3: NFL playing Toron Smith is gonna be a Hall of Famer.

1186
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 3: Jason Peters left tackle, and he's you know, he he's older,

1187
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 3: but he's kind of still flown around. He'll be a

1188
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:12,920
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer.

1189
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 2: Kelsey's brother at senta.

1190
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 3: Kelsey's brother at center, Trent Williams will be a Hall

1191
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 3: of Famer, Zach Martin will be Hall of Famer. That's

1192
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 3: the five right now that will walk in as Hall

1193
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 3: of famers right now, Okay, that's it. Those five, I'm

1194
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 3: telling those five right now are or set. I'm might

1195
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 3: be busy one. But I think those are the five

1196
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 3: right now, Lane Johnson, Lane Johnson will probably be the

1197
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 3: first right tackle. Willie Anderson, I think, should get in

1198
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 3: the former Bengals right tackle. I hope he does. He

1199
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 3: might and if he gets in, Lane Johnson Shirley getting in,

1200
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 3: but Lane might be the first right tackle. And I

1201
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 3: do think that now because of these grading services right

1202
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 3: Pro Football Focus is one of them, there are more

1203
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 3: eyeballs towards actual numbers and in tangible stats for off

1204
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 3: its alignment. And I do think that Lane can be

1205
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 3: the first. Again, I think Willie Anderson should be in first.

1206
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 3: I mean when you're the best right tackle again of

1207
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 3: a generation, especially when the game sort of transitioned and

1208
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 3: he was still part of the you know, the run

1209
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 3: the ball first and playac should pass and whatnot. But

1210
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 3: he was so good, you know this, like he should

1211
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 3: be the Hall of Fame. So if Willy gets in,

1212
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 3: Lane's surely getting in. I think Willi will get in eventually,

1213
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 3: but I think Lane's on that path too. Those are

1214
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 3: probably the six right now that are like surefire, that's

1215
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 3: it six, right, Like you don't get a lot in

1216
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 3: generation because again it's difficult to quantify the stats. But again,

1217
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 3: after six, seven, eight, ten years, you know who the

1218
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 3: best are. It's not very hard.

1219
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's funny because it's a position that

1220
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 2: so valuable because a quarterback could be made or broken

1221
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 2: because of that position. There's no doubt in my moment.

1222
01:00:57,840 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and the running game as well. But again

1223
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 2: there is no statistical information like after I mean what

1224
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 2: they need to define a stat like holds? Maybe how

1225
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:10,680
Speaker 2: many times do you hold the defense? Some sort of

1226
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 2: a stat to verify how good you are?

1227
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 3: Again, like you you, that's why I'm here, Like you

1228
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 3: just have to You just have to like trust that

1229
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 3: people like myself that watch the game, that study the position,

1230
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 3: that we understand like okay, just trust me. And Zach

1231
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 3: Martin right guard for the Cowboys, he's the best right guard,

1232
01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:36,520
Speaker 3: Like you have to eat yea, trust me in that one.

1233
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 3: This is I think we got to a point where

1234
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 3: sometimes we don't trust experts in their own field, like

1235
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:45,120
Speaker 3: I have no bias man, like just like Zac Marr

1236
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 3: is the best. It is what it is. And we

1237
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 3: just got to point now where you know, in society,

1238
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 3: we just don't trust experts. We trust people that pay

1239
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 3: for their blue check and have a bunch of followers

1240
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 3: on social media.

1241
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 2: Sometimes I'm not so certain that it is a good

1242
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 2: move to have the Pro Football Writer voting for that.

1243
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:05,200
Speaker 2: I really don't think they understand how difficult the position is.

1244
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:08,000
Speaker 2: You know what it takes to be good at that position.

1245
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 3: Really yeah, but I don't like how many for the

1246
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 3: offensive line position. How many misses? I mean, how many

1247
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:16,480
Speaker 3: guys are you like, well, it's kind of putting you

1248
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 3: on the spoty, We're like, man, that guy's not and

1249
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:21,880
Speaker 3: that's a that's a trap. It's not that many offensive

1250
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:24,600
Speaker 3: line They dig it eventually, Like I said, Tony Boselli

1251
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:26,440
Speaker 3: got in like that's the last. That's the guy was

1252
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 3: really really, I mean every year, like every player. I know,

1253
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:32,160
Speaker 3: he was hurt. You don't pay seven years. He was

1254
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 3: first Team All Pro three straight. He was ninety six

1255
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 3: to eight to ninety eight, okay, And he was a

1256
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 3: first team All Pro left tackle in the same time

1257
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 3: frame as four other Hall of Fame left tackles. So

1258
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 3: it was Ogden, Rof Walter Jones, and uh well, Orlando Pace. Okay, right,

1259
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 3: when you are the first team All Pro and left

1260
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:01,920
Speaker 3: tackle with four or other Hall of Fame left tackles

1261
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 3: playing at the same time, and some of those guys

1262
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:06,640
Speaker 3: were young, and Augton was young. When you're the best player,

1263
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:08,120
Speaker 3: it should be in the Hall of Fame. It's not

1264
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:11,760
Speaker 3: very hard. So I think for off of the lineman. Yeah,

1265
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:14,000
Speaker 3: look the writers and look, I've talked to writers about

1266
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 3: pro football about you know, the Hall of Fame, and

1267
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 3: there's like fifty of them. I think, right, I've talked

1268
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 3: them about the process, like, I think it's okay the

1269
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 3: way it works in the end. Yet fifteen years, like,

1270
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:27,360
Speaker 3: you're not gonna get screwed. If you're that good of

1271
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 3: a player, you might not, like, you know, toroll Owan's

1272
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 3: famously right, He's like, I'm not I'm not coming to the

1273
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:32,400
Speaker 3: Hall of Fames. I it wasn't a First Ball Hall

1274
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:34,440
Speaker 3: of Famer, all right. I mean you know, it was

1275
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 3: only five and every year more and more players kind

1276
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 3: of become, you know, eligible for First Ball Hall of

1277
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 3: Famers the way it is. But uh, yeah, I it's

1278
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 3: been Uh it's it's fun to watch the process. I'm

1279
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 3: okay with it. Again, offensive line, I think eventually get in.

1280
01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna do this. We're gonna tell you

1281
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 2: the worst position, according to one pro bowler, the worst

1282
01:03:57,600 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 2: position in the NFL. We'll do that next. That's coming

1283
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:03,440
Speaker 2: up right here how Fox SPORTSNY Live Forthetirack dot Com studios.

1284
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 2: But first let's hear from Kevin Wyatt with Olios.

1285
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 4: Well, it was a night for the record books for

1286
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 4: the Angels on Saturday. They just absolutely have a destruction

1287
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 4: of the Colorado Rockies, twenty five to one the finals

1288
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 4: score there, and they led twenty three to nothing after

1289
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:19,920
Speaker 4: just four innings, a record, at least going back to

1290
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 4: last fifty years, the Halos franchise record for most runs

1291
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 4: in a single game was twenty four. They got that

1292
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 4: in a game against the Toronto Blue Jays back in

1293
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,240
Speaker 4: nineteen seventy nine, So twenty five the new record for

1294
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 4: the Halos, and the two teams agreed to a trade

1295
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:39,480
Speaker 4: after the game concluded, Mike Gustakis going from Colorado to

1296
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 4: the Angels in exchange for a couple of minor league players.

1297
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:46,640
Speaker 4: Other baseball scores, Dodgers beat the Astros eight to seven.

1298
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:48,720
Speaker 4: Dodgers coming from behind the winning and they get a

1299
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 4: back call in the eighth inning for the go ahead run.

1300
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 4: The Giants beat the Diamondbacks seven to six. They're now

1301
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:57,919
Speaker 4: just a game and a half back of Arizona top

1302
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 4: the NL West. The Cubs beat the Cardinals in London

1303
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 4: nine to one. The Cincinnati Reds, they were the hottest

1304
01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:06,760
Speaker 4: team in baseball, had a twelve game winning streak, but

1305
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:09,640
Speaker 4: that came to an end on Saturday, as the Braves,

1306
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:13,440
Speaker 4: behind four home runs, beat the Reds seven to six.

1307
01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 4: Blue Jays beat the Oakland Athletics seven to three. Oakland

1308
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:19,200
Speaker 4: now just twenty and fifty nine on the season. The

1309
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:21,080
Speaker 4: Royals not doing much better, but they did get a

1310
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:23,400
Speaker 4: win against the best team in baseball. They beat the

1311
01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:26,560
Speaker 4: Rays nine to four. The upstart Baltimore Orioles get a

1312
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 4: home run in the tenth inning to get an extra

1313
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:31,040
Speaker 4: innings win against the Mariners six to four. The Mets

1314
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 4: beat the Phillies four to two. Yankee shutout. The Rangers

1315
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:37,120
Speaker 4: won nothing in the College World Series. It's LSU with

1316
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:40,520
Speaker 4: an eleventh inning home run against the Florida Gators as

1317
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 4: they take the opening game of the Championship round of

1318
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:46,120
Speaker 4: the College World Series final in that one, four to three.

1319
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:49,080

1328
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:13,680
Speaker 2: at about seven eight minutes from now. But it was

1329
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:17,400
Speaker 2: Melvin Gordon who said the worst position in the National

1330
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:20,760
Speaker 2: Football League was the running back. Okay, I guess it's

1331
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 2: more of lack of respect for that position. He says,

1332
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 2: we get no love. And basically he did say this,

1333
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 2: and I'm quoting him right now. It's just so tough

1334
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,280
Speaker 2: for running backs right now. Man. Gordon says, you got

1335
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:32,120
Speaker 2: a running a lot of running backs out there. We

1336
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:34,120
Speaker 2: just don't get no love. It's literally the worst position

1337
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:35,920
Speaker 2: to play in right now in the NFL. And I

1338
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,080
Speaker 2: think he's saying that because in the money situation, you

1339
01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 2: look at some of these guys that there are high

1340
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:42,920
Speaker 2: priced veterans. They're looking for a job right now, like

1341
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 2: Ezekiel Elliott, Dalvin cook A, Leonard Fortnette, Kareem Hunt. They're

1342
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 2: still looking for a team. And I guess right now,

1343
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 2: teams say, look, I could afford to get a running

1344
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 2: back in the draft for a lot less money and

1345
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 2: doing the same function that you're doing for less money.

1346
01:06:57,400 --> 01:07:02,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's difficult right now to be one of those guys,

1347
01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 3: because you know, there is the you know, the the analytics,

1348
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 3: we call it, you call it revolution, what we want

1349
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 3: to call it. In in the game has has shown

1350
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 3: that you can pretty much get a running back whenever

1351
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 3: in the draft and be really good. You know, we

1352
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:27,720
Speaker 3: saw last year you know, uh, you know, but Chakeo

1353
01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:30,680
Speaker 3: for the chief seventh round draft pick. We even saw

1354
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 3: to a little bit last year when Christian McCaffrey left

1355
01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 3: the Panthers. The run game got better got better when

1356
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:40,720
Speaker 3: he left. And so I think there's a lot of

1357
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:42,920
Speaker 3: people that look at that and think, hey, man, you know,

1358
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:45,800
Speaker 3: let's not pay these guys as much as we should.

1359
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:50,240
Speaker 3: I and I don't disagree. I was building my team,

1360
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:53,160
Speaker 3: I would not draft a running back in the first round.

1361
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 3: I would not pay a running back in a second contract.

1362
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 3: That's the way I build my team. There's there's no

1363
01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 3: justification for for doing it. You just you just can't.

1364
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:04,600
Speaker 3: There's no way to you can no way to say

1365
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:06,560
Speaker 3: that we should be paying running back all that money,

1366
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:13,200
Speaker 3: because again, the production level does not equal the money

1367
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:14,560
Speaker 3: you're paying these guys.

1368
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:17,639
Speaker 2: Look, if you had a chance to pay three million

1369
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:20,640
Speaker 2: dollars for a running back or eleven million dollars, you

1370
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:22,759
Speaker 2: know you're gonna go pick the guy with a cheaper

1371
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 2: option three million. And I got to believe at the

1372
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:26,559
Speaker 2: end of the day, the production might be just about

1373
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:26,960
Speaker 2: the same.

1374
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:30,519
Speaker 3: Really, I mean, it's shown that the money is the same.

1375
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:32,840
Speaker 3: It is the same, like it like, I mean, the

1376
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:35,000
Speaker 3: production is the same for the amount of money you're paying.

1377
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:37,760
Speaker 3: You know, it seems like you know, for that you

1378
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:40,559
Speaker 3: know kind of position. A lot of it just comes

1379
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:44,200
Speaker 3: down to obviously, like offensive line blocking, uh more than

1380
01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:45,840
Speaker 3: anything else. Like if you can, if you can, if

1381
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:49,719
Speaker 3: you're an offensive lineman, you know, and you you can block, well,

1382
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:55,040
Speaker 3: that's enough two to make your you know, your line,

1383
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 3: your your run game go. And unfortunately that that's enough

1384
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:00,240
Speaker 3: to to not have to pay that running to not

1385
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:01,960
Speaker 3: have to pay running back a lot of money.

1386
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 2: There's only two running backs in the last five, six,

1387
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:07,839
Speaker 2: seven years. I gotta believe that I've got big contracts.

1388
01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:10,639
Speaker 2: One is Christian McCaffrey, right, the other one is Dereck Henry.

1389
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:13,280
Speaker 2: Other than that all these other big names advocates, would.

1390
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 3: You but again, like, is the Dereck Henry deal? Would

1391
01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:20,000
Speaker 3: you say as a Titans fan that's worked for your franchise? No,

1392
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 3: that that becomes a concern, right. Also, like, so I'm

1393
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:26,120
Speaker 3: gonna do this. I haven't done the research on it yet,

1394
01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:28,639
Speaker 3: but I'm I'm I will and it's gonna be part

1395
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:31,400
Speaker 3: of what I do when I kind of preview the

1396
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 3: NFL this year for Fox Sports, I'm gonna look at

1397
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:38,599
Speaker 3: it and I know this is the answer. But I'm

1398
01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:43,439
Speaker 3: gonna bet every running back under for all. I'm gonna

1399
01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:45,800
Speaker 3: make a project this year for all thirty two starting

1400
01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:47,880
Speaker 3: rundbacks NFL, and if teams don't really have a start,

1401
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 3: I won't do it. I guess I'm gonna bet the

1402
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:52,800
Speaker 3: under for rushing yards for every single one of them.

1403
01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:55,040
Speaker 3: I will make a lot of money this year. That's

1404
01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 3: a you can say about quarterback, ride receiver. I'll make

1405
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:02,880
Speaker 3: money fading running backs this season because of the injury

1406
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:07,000
Speaker 3: rate and the ability to just kind of find a

1407
01:10:07,040 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 3: second running back, you know, in an offense. It's just

1408
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:13,720
Speaker 3: the way it is. It's unfortunate. I empathize with running backs.

1409
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 3: I mean, imagine my position became less valuable. Would suck.

1410
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:18,400
Speaker 3: It would suck, You make less money, you don't feel

1411
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:22,200
Speaker 3: as important. But the numbers show that you're able to

1412
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 3: function as an offense without having that quote quote Bell

1413
01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:30,839
Speaker 3: cou running back. Is it is? It is Christ McCaffrey.

1414
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:33,800
Speaker 3: Is it good for the Niners? Absolutely, he's great. But

1415
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:36,280
Speaker 3: the Niners are not winning this year because the McCaffrey.

1416
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:38,720
Speaker 3: They're winning if they have a quarterback. That's why they're

1417
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:39,200
Speaker 3: winning this year.

1418
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:42,720
Speaker 2: Andy, exactly right. You know, I guess some stats over here.

1419
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:46,160
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. Back in twenty thirteen, the franchise tag of

1420
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:49,000
Speaker 2: a position for running back was eight point eight million.

1421
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:52,160
Speaker 2: That year, the number has gone and this year gone

1422
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:54,280
Speaker 2: the number's gone up to ten point oh nine million,

1423
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:56,280
Speaker 2: which is an increase of twenty five percent, which sounds

1424
01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 2: pretty good. But quarterbacks since that all have gone a

1425
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:02,640
Speaker 2: fourteen tzo point sixty four million and twenty thirteenth to

1426
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:05,479
Speaker 2: thirty two point four million, an increase of one hundred

1427
01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:07,680
Speaker 2: and twenty one percent, and other than that. Listen to this,

1428
01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 2: linebackers have seen them their increase of of a hundred

1429
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:17,280
Speaker 2: of almost one hundred percent linebackers and defensive tackles from

1430
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:21,160
Speaker 2: eight million to eighteen point nine million. So basically, running

1431
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:25,040
Speaker 2: backs have fallen way behind behind quarterbacks obviously, but linebackers

1432
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 2: and defensive tackles, it's amazing. You don't need a running

1433
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 2: back to win. To win in the National Football League,

1434
01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:36,040
Speaker 2: you really don't look happen with fullbacks. Fullbacks are dinosaurs

1435
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:36,679
Speaker 2: do now.

1436
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:38,639
Speaker 3: But I want to make it very crew though, you

1437
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:46,080
Speaker 3: need to have a running game. You have a running

1438
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:50,320
Speaker 3: game to be competitive. You don't need to have again, listen,

1439
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:51,960
Speaker 3: you don't need to have a you don't need to

1440
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:55,360
Speaker 3: have a running back like a bell can, but you

1441
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:58,960
Speaker 3: need a run game to be successful. You need you

1442
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:00,880
Speaker 3: need you need to be able to punch someone in

1443
01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:04,599
Speaker 3: the mouth. You you be physical with them. So there is

1444
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:08,720
Speaker 3: you need some of that, some of that andy to

1445
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 3: win in this league. Again, you don't need to be

1446
01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 3: the best run game of all time, but you need

1447
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:20,639
Speaker 3: to have a running attack that teams believe you can

1448
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:22,360
Speaker 3: punch them in the mouth. You need to have that.

1449
01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:26,160
Speaker 3: You might not have to have the running back, but

1450
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:28,640
Speaker 3: you have to make them think you can punch them

1451
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:29,080
Speaker 3: in the mouth.

1452
01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:34,200
Speaker 2: And we've seen changes in offenses because teams cannot win

1453
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:38,599
Speaker 2: with that run game. Example, the Baltimore Ravens, they will run, run, run,

1454
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 2: that's all they did. What do they do. They stacked

1455
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:42,840
Speaker 2: up on receivers now, the kid out of Boston College

1456
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:44,519
Speaker 2: in the draft, and they made a couple of free

1457
01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:47,320
Speaker 2: agent moves. They've gone receiving now and they may be

1458
01:12:47,479 --> 01:12:49,280
Speaker 2: more of a passing game than a running game.

1459
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:51,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it was time for that. It was.

1460
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:54,120
Speaker 3: It was very clearly it was much needed to kind

1461
01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:56,080
Speaker 3: of move on from from that and let Lamar kind

1462
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:57,799
Speaker 3: of operate in a more functional NFL offense.

1463
01:12:57,840 --> 01:12:59,479
Speaker 2: And they want them to keep them healthy too by

1464
01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 2: not running much.

1465
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:02,360
Speaker 3: I'm sure. Absolutely, yes, it's.

1466
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:05,360
Speaker 2: Amazing, it really is. And look I get it. I mean,

1467
01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 2: you could go far in the playoffs with a run game,

1468
01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:11,479
Speaker 2: and a lot of times they'll use the running back

1469
01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 2: as a decoy passing out of the backfield. They'll use

1470
01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:17,599
Speaker 2: your tight end to create the run game. In a sense, really,

1471
01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:20,840
Speaker 2: you don't need it. You don't need a bell Cow

1472
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:21,559
Speaker 2: running back.

1473
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:23,600
Speaker 3: You don't you're correct, you do not.

1474
01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:26,320
Speaker 2: Well, that's the first time I have been correct. But

1475
01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 2: you know, every once in a while they hit on something.

1476
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:31,439
Speaker 2: But now and then, well, well now and then yeah,

1477
01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:33,680
Speaker 2: maybe the moon was full last night. I don't know.

1478
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:37,280
Speaker 2: But again, we've seen changes in the NFL. I think

1479
01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:39,599
Speaker 2: Dan Marino was the guy that came into the NFL

1480
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:42,360
Speaker 2: when Baby you can maybe call him the godfather of

1481
01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 2: the forward pass. They didn't pass much before Dan Marino

1482
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 2: came in. He started passing and they kind of eliminated

1483
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:50,960
Speaker 2: the run game as much. And the full back position

1484
01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:53,960
Speaker 2: used for running then it was used for blocking. I

1485
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 2: mean what I think maybe two teams use a full back.

1486
01:13:56,479 --> 01:13:58,280
Speaker 2: I think the Ravens use a full back. I don't

1487
01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:01,280
Speaker 2: know who else uses a full back. Really forty nine

1488
01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:04,880
Speaker 2: that's about it. Really, that's a position that's gone. Even

1489
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:05,760
Speaker 2: in the college game.

1490
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:09,800
Speaker 3: Oh, the college game has no has no uh has

1491
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:12,040
Speaker 3: no none of that. No fullback.

1492
01:14:12,280 --> 01:14:16,040
Speaker 2: It's amazing it really. Can you imagine guys that played

1493
01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 2: full back back in the day and that watching the

1494
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:21,000
Speaker 2: National Football League right now, say, what happened to my position? Really?

1495
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:23,040
Speaker 2: It's gone.

1496
01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:26,639
Speaker 3: It's it's a look everything look to think about Andeo's

1497
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 3: everything sort of comes back. Like I'm curious if we're

1498
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:31,639
Speaker 3: gonna have a you know, at some point we're gonna

1499
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:35,760
Speaker 3: have a comeback where we see, you know, all these

1500
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:38,200
Speaker 3: positions that kind of left us all sort of kind

1501
01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:39,960
Speaker 3: of come back. I'm curious about that.

1502
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:42,880
Speaker 2: Well, it may may very well happen. I mean, there's

1503
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 2: really nothing new. Is just the wheel that recycles. That's

1504
01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:48,160
Speaker 2: what it is. That's basically what it is really in

1505
01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:50,360
Speaker 2: all sports. Really, I mean, right now, I think there

1506
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:52,040
Speaker 2: was a picture the other day I read who was

1507
01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:55,879
Speaker 2: signed a knuckleballer? The first knuckleball pictured like an eons.

1508
01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, they're making they're making a little bit

1509
01:14:58,160 --> 01:14:58,559
Speaker 3: of a comeback.

1510
01:14:58,640 --> 01:15:01,080
Speaker 2: So that too, right now, Balls coming back. I mean

1511
01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:02,960
Speaker 2: back in the day, it was a Hoyt Wilhelm. They

1512
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:06,240
Speaker 2: all like knuckleballs, That's what it was, Tom Sturt of it.

1513
01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:08,080
Speaker 2: I'm throwing names out there. As a kid, I remember

1514
01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:09,200
Speaker 2: all legue knuckleball pitches.

1515
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:11,160
Speaker 3: Wilhelm.

1516
01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:14,000
Speaker 2: Well, you know, you could say I'm aging myself. I'm

1517
01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 2: just an historian, you know what I'm saying. Right, it's

1518
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:18,439
Speaker 2: a good cover.

1519
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:20,880
Speaker 3: You could have gone like Tim Wakefield. Everyone been like,

Speaker 5: at tie. You know, we'll take it.

1543
01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:25,719
Speaker 2: I'll give them some competition, I really.

1544
01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:30,799
Speaker 5: Am, I think yeah anyway, yeah, it is a smirk.

1545
01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:31,759
Speaker 3: Uh.

1546
01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:35,519
Speaker 5: We're gonna start with college baseball because it's not that normal, right,

1547
01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:41,040
Speaker 5: Like it's college baseball, all right? Cool? So it's Florida

1548
01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:43,240
Speaker 5: minus one and a half, l s U plus one

1549
01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:47,040
Speaker 5: and a half, Game two today at twelve oh five.

1550
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:50,680
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're giving me plus one and a

1551
01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:54,280
Speaker 3: half with LSU, I'll take the run in half. I

1552
01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:58,160
Speaker 3: think Florida wins. But there's the matchup with LSU right now. Now,

1553
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:02,080
Speaker 3: I can make the case that Andy that like it

1554
01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:04,400
Speaker 3: ends the magic just ends in game two, right and

1555
01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:08,240
Speaker 3: then comes back in game three. But LSU has been

1556
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:10,280
Speaker 3: on a tear right now. I mean they have been

1557
01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:15,200
Speaker 3: so good. I'll take the plus one and half. Yeah,

1558
01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:15,679
Speaker 3: I think that's.

1559
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:17,960
Speaker 2: They've been very good. But a lot of luck too.

1560
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:18,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with.

1561
01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:21,360
Speaker 3: Flo Absolutely, it can end. It can end today, right

1562
01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 3: it could.

1563
01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:23,160
Speaker 2: I'll go with Florida.

1564
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:27,000
Speaker 5: All right, nice splitters, all right. Now we're gonna go

1565
01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:32,000
Speaker 5: to crazier ridiculous sports like cricket, and we're gonna go

1566
01:17:32,080 --> 01:17:37,120
Speaker 5: to the Ashes Tournament. Whatever that is. I'm sure Jeff

1567
01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:41,479
Speaker 5: will look into it. England versus Australia England plus one

1568
01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 5: ten Australia minus.

1569
01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:47,800
Speaker 3: Andy. Don't you don't imagine, you don't use that, you're

1570
01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:51,680
Speaker 3: not a tech talk person. But going to if you're

1571
01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:53,920
Speaker 3: going on some of these some of these websites, you know,

1572
01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:56,200
Speaker 3: like in these apps, and you know they just basically

1573
01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:58,599
Speaker 3: track what you know, what what you're watching, and they

1574
01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:01,840
Speaker 3: kind of show you more of that. Somehow I got

1575
01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:06,360
Speaker 3: on cricket TikTok and uh, it's it's basically changed. But

1576
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:09,639
Speaker 3: like early last week, I just got the cricket videos

1577
01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:12,679
Speaker 3: were just NonStop. I think I watched like one video

1578
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:15,160
Speaker 3: on something and I have no idea how the game

1579
01:18:15,240 --> 01:18:20,240
Speaker 3: is played, but it is exciting on TikTok. What are

1580
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:21,679
Speaker 3: my choices here? Ethan again?

1581
01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:24,240
Speaker 5: Yes in Australia, Yeah, England Australia.

1582
01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:26,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll go to Australia.

1583
01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 2: I was going with England because I have some relatives

1584
01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:33,000
Speaker 2: to My grandfather was from Golden's Green right outside of

1585
01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:37,160
Speaker 2: London Sun Golden Wave to flag the you and you Jack.

1586
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:41,240
Speaker 5: I got even showing your respect, I get it all right,

1587
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:45,960
Speaker 5: We're gonna go to darts, right, darts are very exciting.

1588
01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:51,519
Speaker 5: We love darts. Here. We're gonna do Chris Gilane and

1589
01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:53,240

1590
01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:54,920
Speaker 5: g for for times sake.

1591
01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:56,840
Speaker 2: You can take up the names. We wouldn't know if

1592
01:18:56,880 --> 01:18:58,120
Speaker 2: you write it wrong anyway.

1593
01:18:57,840 --> 01:18:59,519
Speaker 5: Well, you never know. You know what Jeff likes throwing

1594
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:00,200
Speaker 5: on them some time?

1595
01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:00,720
Speaker 3: All right?

1596
01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 5: And then James Richardson, Chris Chris gee Vers.

1597
01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:07,240
Speaker 3: James richards the guy that dame he can pronounce.

1598
01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:09,439
Speaker 5: Yeah cool, where's this match out?

1599
01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:10,559
Speaker 2: Did you give me a little more details?

1600
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:13,960
Speaker 5: I really I couldn't, you know. I'll look up the

1601
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:15,520
Speaker 5: series at the breaks.

1602
01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:18,679
Speaker 2: It's have another question, because Jeff's a big dark guy.

1603
01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:21,200
Speaker 2: Do they have doubles in darts? I don't know.

1604
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:24,200
Speaker 5: You know what, that's a great question. Is another thing

1605
01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:25,120
Speaker 5: I want to look out.

1606

1610
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:39,920
Speaker 5: Chris. But it's fine. I would have made the same mistake. Uh,

1611
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:43,400
Speaker 5: all right, we are moving. We only have like ten seconds.

Speaker 3: little travel coming up and some fun things to do.

1636

Speaker 3: But you've got Patwell Media Day, which I cover the

1637
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:55,280
Speaker 3: PAC twelve in like less than three weeks. Now it

1638
01:20:55,400 --> 01:20:58,120
Speaker 3: is is well as you mean less than four weeks.

1639
01:20:58,479 --> 01:20:59,880
Speaker 3: It's almost football.

1640
01:20:59,479 --> 01:21:02,280
Speaker 2: Time, man, I hear what you say. But don't forget

Speaker 2: Happy birthday to missus s Happy birthday. They don't forget that.

1642
01:21:06,400 --> 01:21:10,600
Speaker 3: Yes, my wife's birthday is today. I walked from my

1643
01:21:11,479 --> 01:21:16,280
Speaker 3: studio during the break to the house and she's still sleeping.

1644
01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:18,720
Speaker 3: So we're good. We're good. We're letting her sleep in

1645
01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:22,240
Speaker 3: a little bits. Kids still sleeping. We're good. Morning, off

1646
01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:22,800
Speaker 3: to a good start.

1647
01:21:23,320 --> 01:21:25,160
Speaker 2: Good Now, I got a couple of things. They gotta

1648
01:21:25,200 --> 01:21:27,120
Speaker 2: run by it because you're the voice of reason here,

1649
01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:30,360
Speaker 2: you really are. Yesterday the Cardinals played the Cubs in London.

1650
01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:32,840
Speaker 2: All right. I gotta believe that Major League Baseball is

1651
01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:35,080
Speaker 2: always late to the dance. All right. You know, football

1652
01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:37,000
Speaker 2: was smart. They went to Germany. They went to Mexico

1653
01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:39,360
Speaker 2: to plan all over. They want to expand the program,

1654
01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:41,280
Speaker 2: they want to sell all over the world. It's a

1655
01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:46,559
Speaker 2: global game, okay, baseball. Why London cricket's the game over there?

1656
01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:48,720
Speaker 2: They should have gone to Japan. They could have gone

1657
01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:51,000
Speaker 2: to the Dominican Republic. They could have gone to Mexico.

1658
01:21:51,280 --> 01:21:53,920
Speaker 2: That's their base, that's where they get their players from.

1659
01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:57,120
Speaker 2: Why London, I don't understand it. I turned it in

1660
01:21:57,200 --> 01:21:59,120
Speaker 2: just to see what it would look like. I don't

1661
01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:00,599
Speaker 2: get it. Help me out here.

1662
01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:04,719
Speaker 3: You span the game right where we're finding new places

1663
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:08,519
Speaker 3: to play baseball. In the news yesterday was Derek Jeter

1664
01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:11,320
Speaker 3: in the booth, him and a rod and and Big

1665
01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:17,439
Speaker 3: Poppy together pre game getting it in. I look, I

1666
01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:21,840
Speaker 3: I mean baseball has done a better job in recent

1667
01:22:21,880 --> 01:22:26,280
Speaker 3: years of marketing themselves. I really think that young players

1668
01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:28,519
Speaker 3: being able to show their personalities, right. I mean you

1669
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 3: talk about Dela Cruz like he just is electric, but

1670
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:36,400
Speaker 3: he shows his personality right. And these players, man, it's

1671
01:22:36,439 --> 01:22:39,240
Speaker 3: just it feels like it's more fun to play baseball now.

1672
01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:42,080
Speaker 3: And I just think they're trying to expand the game

1673
01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:43,639
Speaker 3: outward right and trying to find.

1674
01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:45,200
Speaker 2: I would hope. So, you know, you talk about Elie,

1675
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:47,280
Speaker 2: Dela Cruz, you talk about the college game right now,

1676
01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:49,400
Speaker 2: and I love it because it's exciting. The LSU game

1677
01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:53,240
Speaker 2: again they win. But the bad news is that those

1678
01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:54,760
Speaker 2: guys in l s U, if in fact they do

1679
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:56,760
Speaker 2: get drafted. We're gonna have to weigh three for me

1680
01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:58,880
Speaker 2: before to see them come to the big leagues where

1681
01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:02,120
Speaker 2: that's why the NBA and NFL haven't made you watch

1682
01:23:02,200 --> 01:23:04,479
Speaker 2: these guys in college and bang they're going to the

1683
01:23:04,520 --> 01:23:06,760
Speaker 2: pros the next year and you follow their career. That

1684
01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:09,439
Speaker 2: hurts baseball a little bit. Plus, there's a lot of

1685
01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:12,400
Speaker 2: players in baseball, like Ellie, uh, they don't speak English

1686
01:23:12,439 --> 01:23:14,400
Speaker 2: and that's tough. I mean, I watched the post game

1687
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:16,839
Speaker 2: into the other night in Cincinnati. They had the interpreter

1688
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:19,519
Speaker 2: on there with him, and it's just difficult, it really is.

1689
01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:22,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a young player, though I imagine at some point,

1690
01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:25,479
Speaker 3: you know, that gets that gets easier for him, you know.

1691
01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:29,040
Speaker 3: But then we have players like it's just Otani is

1692
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:31,439
Speaker 3: so freaking good man and he's playing.

1693
01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:34,120
Speaker 2: He's buried there, like very buried with the Angels.

1694
01:23:34,280 --> 01:23:38,040
Speaker 3: Like that's the hard part about baseball. I lo baseball.

1695
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:40,800
Speaker 3: So to you, it's just a long season. It's just

1696
01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:44,040
Speaker 3: such a long season. You know, again, you're you're a

1697
01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:46,880
Speaker 3: Reds guy. Well you you you know you're a Reds

1698
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:49,160
Speaker 3: fan just by by where you live, right, I mean,

1699
01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:51,400
Speaker 3: you know, if it wasn't your childhood team. I don't

1700
01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:56,320
Speaker 3: think I'm a Giant. I'm a Giants fan, and the

1701
01:23:56,360 --> 01:23:58,439
Speaker 3: Giants are playing great baseball right now. But it's like

1702
01:23:58,720 --> 01:24:02,879
Speaker 3: it's still the middle of June. We have July, August,

1703
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:07,360
Speaker 3: and September, and it's hard to give your attention all

1704
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:09,360
Speaker 3: of baseball. I think when you have standalone events like

1705
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:12,880
Speaker 3: the London game, you do get more eyeballs to the sport, right,

1706
01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:15,559
Speaker 3: you get it. It's an event, and that's what football

1707
01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:18,120
Speaker 3: does so well, right. Football creates an event each week,

1708
01:24:18,439 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 3: an event, and baseball is trying to do some of

1709
01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:24,840
Speaker 3: that with these some of these games. Now, if I

1710
01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:27,200
Speaker 3: have career, it's just they're playing one game in London.

1711
01:24:27,240 --> 01:24:29,960
Speaker 3: That's it. I believe so series in London.

1712
01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:33,200
Speaker 2: But look, the problem with baseball is that they step

1713
01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:35,680
Speaker 2: on their own fee. For example, when the NBA has

1714
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:38,360
Speaker 2: a draft, it's a separate event. When the NFL has

1715
01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:40,599
Speaker 2: a draft, it's a weekend, it's like three days. Okay,

1716
01:24:40,840 --> 01:24:43,759
Speaker 2: when they when Major League Baseball has their player draft,

1717
01:24:43,880 --> 01:24:47,920
Speaker 2: they're still playing games. It's amazing. Okay, when the Major

1718
01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:50,240
Speaker 2: when Major League Baseball and ducks players into their Hall

1719
01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:54,120
Speaker 2: of Fame, which they'll be doing in July, right next month,

1720
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:56,720
Speaker 2: what do they do. There's still playing games. You have

1721
01:24:56,840 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 2: to reserve, make it special, reserve that no games should

1722
01:24:59,920 --> 01:25:01,680
Speaker 2: be played that day when they put guys in the

1723
01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:03,280
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. That's all I'm saying.

1724
01:25:03,320 --> 01:25:07,000
Speaker 3: Well, that's the Hall of Fame, I understand. But the draft, like,

1725
01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:09,280
Speaker 3: come on, you mentioned it right, Like, there's a kid

1726
01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:12,320
Speaker 3: on LSU, the pitcher for LSU, right right, he throws,

1727
01:25:12,439 --> 01:25:14,360
Speaker 3: you know, half his pitches one hundred miles an hour.

1728
01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:17,519
Speaker 3: He's gonna go in the top five, right, he might

1729
01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:19,639
Speaker 3: have me the first picture draft. I don't even know.

1730
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:23,599
Speaker 2: Ty Floyd and what his name is, ty Floyd?

1731
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:24,400
Speaker 3: Ty Floyd.

1732
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:25,959
Speaker 2: He struck out seventeen yesterday.

1733
01:25:26,080 --> 01:25:31,080
Speaker 3: No, No, that's a different guy. Okay, No, No, their

1734
01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:35,719
Speaker 3: their main their main picture pitched the game against wake Forest. Okay,

1735
01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:40,519
Speaker 3: he's there. Yeah, yeah, they're they're good. That that's kind

1736
01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:42,040
Speaker 3: of the point about why LSU is where they are

1737
01:25:42,120 --> 01:25:45,720
Speaker 3: right now. No, the guy who, uh what's his name here?

1738
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:48,160
Speaker 3: Well that so Dylan Cruz won like Slugger of the

1739
01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:52,760
Speaker 3: Year for LSU, and their picture is what's his name's

1740
01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:56,920
Speaker 3: trying to pull up? Oh, Paul Paul Paul Skines he's

1741
01:25:56,960 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 3: six six, two forty seven. He's incredible. He through the

1742
01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:05,320
Speaker 3: other day nine innings, you know, bazilion strikeouts. But if

1743
01:26:05,320 --> 01:26:08,760
Speaker 3: your team drafts him, you know you're not gonna you know,

1744
01:26:09,200 --> 01:26:10,960
Speaker 3: he's not gonna be in the big leagues for another

1745
01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:13,679
Speaker 3: you know how many I mean were he threw eight innings?

1746
01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:16,759
Speaker 2: Let about that. But I think it creates the interest

1747
01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:20,040
Speaker 2: where if you're a fan of Team X and they

1748
01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:23,280
Speaker 2: draft that kid, you're gonna find out what level he's

1749
01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:26,479
Speaker 2: going to play on, and maybe even the local media

1750
01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:29,160
Speaker 2: will follow him to give the interest, because I know

1751
01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:32,640
Speaker 2: in Cincinnati they were following the Louisville Bats by the

1752
01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:35,120
Speaker 2: Triple A team when Elie Dela Cruz was playing, and

1753
01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:38,120
Speaker 2: they've sent reporters down there, you know, when Ellie was playing.

1754
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:41,280
Speaker 2: So eventually it created the interest and the spark and

1755
01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:42,679
Speaker 2: the breads event eventually brought.

1756
01:26:42,600 --> 01:26:45,880
Speaker 3: Among Yeah, but that only happens at the end of

1757
01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:47,960
Speaker 3: the of the road of the minor league, right like

1758
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:50,439
Speaker 3: it happens at the very end. And typically that only

1759
01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:52,479
Speaker 3: happens too when you're not you're not playing your baseball.

1760
01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:54,599
Speaker 3: They're like, you knowing, bring up this kid, right, bring

1761
01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:58,160
Speaker 3: them up and give us A spark and not all

1762
01:26:58,720 --> 01:27:01,200
Speaker 3: you know, Triple A teams are relatively you know, they're

1763
01:27:01,240 --> 01:27:03,720
Speaker 3: not always near the major league team that they try

1764
01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:07,720
Speaker 3: to move them as close as possible. Obviously, it's just

1765
01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:10,519
Speaker 3: it's so difficult. So I think that I like the

1766
01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:13,800
Speaker 3: idea of baseball going with stand alone, with a standalone

1767
01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:16,360
Speaker 3: kind of game. It's a big event. There wasn't much

1768
01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:20,880
Speaker 3: on this weekend. Let's focus on this big, major event.

1769
01:27:21,439 --> 01:27:24,840
Speaker 3: Let's pump some energy into baseball and let's try to

1770
01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:26,720
Speaker 3: get you know, a big, a big premiere. Hey, you

1771
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:29,559
Speaker 3: must watch this event because it's on It's on Big Fox,

1772
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:31,800
Speaker 3: and it's a it's a major baseball game.

1773
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:34,759
Speaker 2: I am a fan of baseball, and I do enjoy

1774
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:36,679
Speaker 2: it and I love it. I love going to games,

1775
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:40,240
Speaker 2: I really do. But but again I keep on whining

1776
01:27:40,280 --> 01:27:42,280
Speaker 2: and crying because I think there's certain things that baseball

1777
01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:44,639
Speaker 2: could do to help themselves, and one of them would

1778
01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:47,720
Speaker 2: very well be to go back to the old, the

1779
01:27:47,800 --> 01:27:50,639
Speaker 2: old way of the old star game National League against

1780
01:27:50,680 --> 01:27:54,639
Speaker 2: the American League. Now with this mixed roster is just you know, wait, wait,

1781
01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:58,479
Speaker 2: it was National American where there was no inter league

1782
01:27:58,479 --> 01:28:00,840
Speaker 2: play at the time. So the only time you could

1783
01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:02,960
Speaker 2: see the stars from the other league will be either

1784
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:04,960
Speaker 2: the World Series of the All Star Game. And now

1785
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:07,080
Speaker 2: when in the league play, you know, it kind of

1786
01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:10,559
Speaker 2: takes away the excitement and the mystery behind that. I'd

1787
01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:12,280
Speaker 2: like to see them going to do away with it

1788
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:13,639
Speaker 2: the league play forget it.

1789
01:28:13,960 --> 01:28:17,559
Speaker 3: So that's a very seven year old take. So I

1790
01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:22,200
Speaker 3: appreciate that there, Andy, Thank you. I have said this

1791
01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:24,280
Speaker 3: for ten years now. It's been one of my my

1792
01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:27,280
Speaker 3: talking points around the Baseball All Star weekend is I

1793
01:28:27,320 --> 01:28:30,080
Speaker 3: remember it always us. It's always so my birthday is

1794
01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:33,880
Speaker 3: July eleventh, and the MLB All Star Game is always

1795
01:28:34,320 --> 01:28:40,000
Speaker 3: that week, no matter like. It's always around my birthday.

1796
01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:44,200
Speaker 3: You know, this year it's uh, it's July. It's actually

1797
01:28:44,280 --> 01:28:46,960
Speaker 3: July eleventh this year, just on my birthday this year.

1798
01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:49,240
Speaker 3: It's always that week, no matter what, because I remember

1799
01:28:49,280 --> 01:28:51,320
Speaker 3: because I would go to my best friend's house and

1800
01:28:51,520 --> 01:28:54,240
Speaker 3: as a kid, and we go and watch the home

1801
01:28:54,320 --> 01:28:56,360
Speaker 3: run derby the day before, and then I'd go and

1802
01:28:56,520 --> 01:28:58,559
Speaker 3: the next day and go to his house again and

1803
01:28:58,640 --> 01:29:00,960
Speaker 3: watch and watch the game. Where's my birthday or not?

1804
01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:03,120
Speaker 3: That was our routine, right, I go to my my

1805
01:29:03,160 --> 01:29:06,160
Speaker 3: buddy's house, we watch the game. But the reason why

1806
01:29:06,160 --> 01:29:08,800
Speaker 3: it was so much fun to your point was, you

1807
01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:10,640
Speaker 3: know we're in Los Angeles. I get to watch the

1808
01:29:10,680 --> 01:29:12,840
Speaker 3: Dodgers play now. As a kid. Obviously, we know that

1809
01:29:12,920 --> 01:29:15,760
Speaker 3: TBS had the Braves, WGIt had the Cubs, so there

1810
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:18,240
Speaker 3: was some other options to watch. But if I wanted

1811
01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:21,400
Speaker 3: to watch Ken Griffy Junior, but it's the only time

1812
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:23,679
Speaker 3: of year I got to watch him, was All Star weekend,

1813
01:29:24,160 --> 01:29:26,000
Speaker 3: so I wanted to watch him hit home runs, it

1814
01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:28,200
Speaker 3: was All Star weekend. If I don't watch calroq Vin

1815
01:29:28,280 --> 01:29:30,240
Speaker 3: Junior play, it was All Star Weekend. If I want

1816
01:29:30,240 --> 01:29:32,559
Speaker 3: to down, the Yankees were on national television more often.

1817
01:29:32,840 --> 01:29:35,200
Speaker 3: If I want to watch a Yankee play, it was

1818
01:29:35,320 --> 01:29:39,560
Speaker 3: All Star Weekend. And that's what for me as a

1819
01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:42,680
Speaker 3: kid much watch television. I have to watch the home

1820
01:29:42,720 --> 01:29:46,240
Speaker 3: run derby and the All Star Game because I don't

1821
01:29:46,240 --> 01:29:48,559
Speaker 3: get to watch these guys on the regular. Even if

1822
01:29:48,560 --> 01:29:51,840
Speaker 3: Interleague play was was gone was gone. Right, Let's say

1823
01:29:51,880 --> 01:29:54,639
Speaker 3: they ended it tomorrow. We still get all the games

1824
01:29:54,640 --> 01:29:57,599
Speaker 3: on television, so I get to watch any I could

1825
01:29:57,640 --> 01:30:01,599
Speaker 3: pull up today my MLB TV the app and put

1826
01:30:01,640 --> 01:30:04,800
Speaker 3: on any game that's not obviously blacked out in my region,

1827
01:30:04,800 --> 01:30:06,439
Speaker 3: which is just a terrible thing that baseball does. That's

1828
01:30:06,439 --> 01:30:09,120
Speaker 3: another thing that baseball does which I think is absolutely atrocious.

1829
01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:12,600
Speaker 3: The blackout rules for their product is the worst in

1830
01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:15,960
Speaker 3: all sports. I live in Charlotte, North Carolina. I have

1831
01:30:16,120 --> 01:30:19,639
Speaker 3: four teams blacked out on the app, which.

1832
01:30:19,439 --> 01:30:21,719
Speaker 2: It would be considered Braves Country. Is that correct?

1833
01:30:21,880 --> 01:30:24,640
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, okay, that makes sense. They're on local. I

1834
01:30:24,640 --> 01:30:27,080
Speaker 3: can get the Braves on every night you want. Who else?

1835
01:30:27,080 --> 01:30:32,360
Speaker 3: I'm blacked out to watch the Orioles, Okay, the Nationals

1836
01:30:32,840 --> 01:30:33,920
Speaker 3: and the Reds.

1837
01:30:35,920 --> 01:30:37,840
Speaker 2: Sense because I could see back in the day when

1838
01:30:37,840 --> 01:30:39,720
Speaker 2: the NFL had the black rule, they were afraid it

1839
01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:40,880
Speaker 2: would hurt a tennis.

1840
01:30:40,720 --> 01:30:42,960
Speaker 3: And they ended it because they're like this is stupid.

1841
01:30:42,800 --> 01:30:46,400
Speaker 2: Right, But how would you be blacked out of the

1842
01:30:46,479 --> 01:30:49,760
Speaker 2: Reds from Charlotte to see the Reds play?

1843
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:54,200
Speaker 3: But think about this, The blackout rule for the NFL

1844
01:30:54,920 --> 01:30:56,800
Speaker 3: was only in your local market if you didn't sell

1845
01:30:56,880 --> 01:30:59,920
Speaker 3: enough tickets. It wasn't like you couldn't watch other teams play, right.

1846
01:31:00,760 --> 01:31:02,519
Speaker 3: I can't like, if I want to watch on the

1847
01:31:02,920 --> 01:31:06,280
Speaker 3: MLB TV app the Giants at the Reds, I can't

1848
01:31:06,360 --> 01:31:09,559
Speaker 3: do that. I have to pay for the the you know,

1849
01:31:09,600 --> 01:31:13,280
Speaker 3: the the regional sports networks on direct TV to be

1850
01:31:13,280 --> 01:31:17,080
Speaker 3: able to get those. So Baseball just they hurt themselves

1851
01:31:17,160 --> 01:31:19,280
Speaker 3: in that way and the interest, Like I have no

1852
01:31:19,360 --> 01:31:21,120
Speaker 3: interest in the All Star weekend right now? Like what

1853
01:31:21,200 --> 01:31:24,439
Speaker 3: I watch. I get to watch Shohio Tani bat every day.

1854
01:31:24,720 --> 01:31:26,680
Speaker 3: Every home run he hits, I watch eight times on

1855
01:31:26,720 --> 01:31:29,439
Speaker 3: the internet. He hit a ball the other day that

1856
01:31:29,640 --> 01:31:32,120
Speaker 3: was that was two inches off the plate and the

1857
01:31:32,120 --> 01:31:35,200
Speaker 3: picture said, how the F do you do that? I

1858
01:31:35,120 --> 01:31:37,080
Speaker 3: I have to watch. It happened on Dinnernet.

1859
01:31:37,120 --> 01:31:39,519
Speaker 2: But there's one thing of watching that. But you still

1860
01:31:39,560 --> 01:31:41,919
Speaker 2: want to see him play against teams within his own division,

1861
01:31:42,200 --> 01:31:45,200
Speaker 2: you know, the Ad Deleite play thing. You could see

1862
01:31:45,240 --> 01:31:45,599
Speaker 2: him playing.

1863
01:31:45,640 --> 01:31:47,240
Speaker 3: Oh no, he just he just hit a ball five

1864
01:31:47,320 --> 01:31:50,280
Speaker 3: hundred feet in Colorado. That's not I kind of like that.

1865
01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:52,200
Speaker 2: Well, I hear what you're saying. I mean, he's a

1866
01:31:52,200 --> 01:31:55,160
Speaker 2: great player, and look, I think maybe baseball should do

1867
01:31:55,200 --> 01:31:57,680
Speaker 2: more to get him out there so people could see

1868
01:31:57,760 --> 01:32:01,720
Speaker 2: him play. I mean, really and truly this they're trying

1869
01:32:01,760 --> 01:32:04,920
Speaker 2: a generational player, you know, pitching as well as you know,

1870
01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:07,799
Speaker 2: playing down a daily base It's amazing and he's buried

1871
01:32:07,800 --> 01:32:09,720
Speaker 2: with the Angels. That's the problem.

1872
01:32:10,360 --> 01:32:12,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not great. They're trying.

1873
01:32:12,920 --> 01:32:14,720
Speaker 2: I hear what you're saying. Look, there's a lot of

1874
01:32:14,760 --> 01:32:16,760
Speaker 2: things baseball could do, but I think one of the

1875
01:32:16,760 --> 01:32:19,400
Speaker 2: bigger problems is that we're in a society right now

1876
01:32:19,439 --> 01:32:22,120
Speaker 2: that we want it now, and we want certain you know,

1877
01:32:22,360 --> 01:32:25,479
Speaker 2: we want glasses in an hour, we want fast food now,

1878
01:32:25,680 --> 01:32:28,680
Speaker 2: and baseball is just too damn long. You know, they

1879
01:32:28,960 --> 01:32:32,200
Speaker 2: can't even do what football does with fantasy football. Fantasy

1880
01:32:32,200 --> 01:32:35,400
Speaker 2: football has saved that sport to some extent because yeah,

1881
01:32:35,400 --> 01:32:38,320
Speaker 2: I know it's gambling, but people learn the players' names,

1882
01:32:38,439 --> 01:32:41,240
Speaker 2: they study them, and it's once a week. It's perfect.

1883
01:32:41,400 --> 01:32:44,479
Speaker 2: It's a perfect situation. You can't have fantasy baseball. Who

1884
01:32:44,479 --> 01:32:47,080
Speaker 2: has time to do that every single day? Who'd want

1885
01:32:47,080 --> 01:32:47,920
Speaker 2: to do it every day?

1886
01:32:48,200 --> 01:32:51,439
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, I mean it's I used to play fantasy

1887
01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:52,280
Speaker 3: baseball every day. Matter.

1888
01:32:52,360 --> 01:32:55,320
Speaker 2: It is hard, especially without a computer. Think about that.

1889
01:32:55,920 --> 01:32:59,760
Speaker 2: It'll be nuts. You know, it's got his problem. But

1890
01:32:59,760 --> 01:33:01,800
Speaker 2: I think it's coming back. I really do. I think

1891
01:33:01,800 --> 01:33:04,360
Speaker 2: this College World Series has helped major League baseball to

1892
01:33:04,400 --> 01:33:08,880
Speaker 2: some extent too, the interest in baseball. I really do, absolutely, Yes,

1893
01:33:09,320 --> 01:33:11,160
Speaker 2: here we go all right. I don't know how we

1894
01:33:11,200 --> 01:33:12,800
Speaker 2: got off in that tangent, but it was pretty good.

1895
01:33:12,920 --> 01:33:15,200
Speaker 2: It really was Sunday.

1896
01:33:15,320 --> 01:33:18,800
Speaker 3: It's Sunday in the summer. We talk about this. Look radio.

1897
01:33:18,880 --> 01:33:20,599
Speaker 3: This time of year is a lot of fun because

1898
01:33:21,280 --> 01:33:23,200
Speaker 3: it's not as easy as football season, right.

1899
01:33:23,400 --> 01:33:24,959
Speaker 2: More creative is more creative.

1900
01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:27,680
Speaker 3: Now you write football season, you don't even have to

1901
01:33:27,720 --> 01:33:29,519
Speaker 3: like it just shows up. But you don't have to

1902
01:33:29,560 --> 01:33:30,920
Speaker 3: do it, even a rundown. There's just so much to

1903
01:33:30,920 --> 01:33:32,400
Speaker 3: talk about it like it is what it is this

1904
01:33:32,479 --> 01:33:34,240
Speaker 3: time of year, man, you have a little bit of fun.

1905
01:33:34,280 --> 01:33:35,160
Speaker 3: We can talk about things, right.

1906
01:33:35,320 --> 01:33:37,920
Speaker 2: I like it better when football begins. A lot of

1907
01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:40,080
Speaker 2: times I turn on these shows. All I do is

1908
01:33:40,160 --> 01:33:43,120
Speaker 2: run down game by game with their predictions, and their

1909
01:33:43,120 --> 01:33:45,280
Speaker 2: predictions are as good as my predictions, which are no

1910
01:33:45,360 --> 01:33:47,719
Speaker 2: good at all. Really. I mean, you know, I'm gonna

1911
01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:49,439
Speaker 2: sit here and talk to you during the football season

1912
01:33:49,600 --> 01:33:51,479
Speaker 2: and say, well, today the Giants are playing the Bears.

1913
01:33:52,240 --> 01:33:54,720
Speaker 2: Who cares? I mean, no one wants to have a

1914
01:33:54,800 --> 01:33:57,639
Speaker 2: gas bag like me giving a prediction, and they're gonna

1915
01:33:57,640 --> 01:34:00,479
Speaker 2: spend their money when I say, no, don't. I'd rather

1916
01:34:00,520 --> 01:34:02,680
Speaker 2: talk about the storylines of the games. That's what I

1917
01:34:02,720 --> 01:34:03,479
Speaker 2: want to talk about.

1918
01:34:03,960 --> 01:34:06,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, no one's no one look, no offense to you.

1919
01:34:06,040 --> 01:34:07,880
Speaker 3: But I mean people when if they're listening to our

1920
01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:11,479
Speaker 3: to us do radio during the season, they're they're listening

1921
01:34:11,479 --> 01:34:14,599
Speaker 3: to me talk about and you talk about the big stories.

1922
01:34:14,760 --> 01:34:16,120
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna throw it to you and say, you know,

01:35:14,600 --> 01:35:17,599
Speaker 2: He really has no clue. Let's right around the corner.

1951
01:35:17,640 --> 01:35:19,760
Speaker 2: He's Jeff Schwartz. He's got a clue. I'm Andy Furman

1952
01:35:19,840 --> 01:35:22,600
Speaker 2: together with Fox Sports Sunday on Fox Sports Radio and

1953
01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:24,920
Speaker 2: we're live from the ti rack dot com studios. A

1954
01:35:24,960 --> 01:35:26,960
Speaker 2: couple of little items I want to run by you

1955
01:35:27,040 --> 01:35:29,559
Speaker 2: because you are the voice of reason, mister Schwartz. Here's

1956
01:35:29,560 --> 01:35:32,080
Speaker 2: you were okay? This back and forth now between the

1957
01:35:32,120 --> 01:35:35,919
Speaker 2: AFC rivals Kansas City Chiefs and the Cincinnati Bengals Travis

1958
01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:39,160
Speaker 2: Kelcey and Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. It started last month

1959
01:35:39,200 --> 01:35:42,280
Speaker 2: that Mahomes Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback in Kansas City, was

1960
01:35:42,280 --> 01:35:45,400
Speaker 2: the best quarterback in the NFL, and Kelsey said there's

1961
01:35:45,400 --> 01:35:47,720
Speaker 2: no argument to make until someone can knock him off

1962
01:35:48,080 --> 01:35:51,000
Speaker 2: at the podium. Okay, So Jamar Chase, the wide receiver

1963
01:35:51,040 --> 01:35:54,519
Speaker 2: of the Bengals, was back in Joe Burrow, obviously his teammate,

1964
01:35:54,800 --> 01:35:57,519
Speaker 2: and he said that he gave his opinion. Chase said,

1965
01:35:57,640 --> 01:36:00,200
Speaker 2: Pat who and then all of a sudden, Kelsey's get

1966
01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:02,800
Speaker 2: us to the next level, you know, And he said,

1967
01:36:02,840 --> 01:36:06,320
Speaker 2: just the other Dana on another podcast he was doing

1968
01:36:06,800 --> 01:36:09,280
Speaker 2: the New Heights podcast. I was listening to that with

1969
01:36:09,360 --> 01:36:13,360
Speaker 2: his brother, Jason Kelsey. It's just it is what it is.

1970
01:36:13,360 --> 01:36:16,160
Speaker 2: Dog who doesn't love some good locker room banter. So

1971
01:36:16,200 --> 01:36:18,360
Speaker 2: I guess is he playing? Does he really mean this

1972
01:36:18,479 --> 01:36:20,880
Speaker 2: or he wants to create some controversy? What's this?

1973
01:36:21,280 --> 01:36:24,639
Speaker 3: First of all, this rovalry has has gone on before,

1974
01:36:24,760 --> 01:36:27,760
Speaker 3: you know, Jamar Chase made that comment. You know, we

1975
01:36:27,800 --> 01:36:31,519
Speaker 3: saw obviously, you know a couple of years ago the

1976
01:36:31,520 --> 01:36:35,679
Speaker 3: Bengals were dominating this series, right and you know then

1977
01:36:35,880 --> 01:36:37,920
Speaker 3: the Ampty Championship game the Chiefs won, there was all

1978
01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:43,040
Speaker 3: that Burrow head talk right right, and this Robwie is

1979
01:36:43,280 --> 01:36:46,040
Speaker 3: great and you mentioned Jamar Chase. So Joe Burrow was

1980
01:36:46,160 --> 01:36:49,479
Speaker 3: quoted saying Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback in the NFL,

1981
01:36:50,120 --> 01:36:52,200
Speaker 3: and Jamar Chase was asked about that, and his answer

1982
01:36:52,280 --> 01:36:55,320
Speaker 3: was Pat who, And then that was the night of

1983
01:36:55,360 --> 01:36:57,240
Speaker 3: the chiefs Ring ceremony. That was the day of the

1984
01:36:57,280 --> 01:37:02,719
Speaker 3: chiefs Ring ceremony. And so the answer from Patrick Mahomes

1985
01:37:02,760 --> 01:37:06,400
Speaker 3: was a picture of his two championship rings, saying that's who.

1986
01:37:06,520 --> 01:37:09,960
Speaker 3: So it's great. I mentioned this anything last week. Rovery's

1987
01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:12,960
Speaker 3: are great. They're fantastic, right, They're great for sports. And

1988
01:37:13,200 --> 01:37:16,439
Speaker 3: Travis Kelsey is now a podcasters. He's in the media business,

1989
01:37:16,520 --> 01:37:20,520
Speaker 3: him and his brother. You mentioned New Heights fantastic podcast.

1990
01:37:20,720 --> 01:37:25,320
Speaker 3: You almost to Cincinnati there right with the New Heights reference.

1991
01:37:25,800 --> 01:37:30,920
Speaker 3: And I just think that at times right now, Travis

1992
01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:33,160
Speaker 3: is now in the media. You know, he's playing to

1993
01:37:33,200 --> 01:37:35,559
Speaker 3: the crowd, right, He's playing to his fan base. And

1994
01:37:35,640 --> 01:37:37,920
Speaker 3: so especially this time of the year when there's let's

1995
01:37:37,920 --> 01:37:39,800
Speaker 3: to talk about, I think that's all this is. I

1996
01:37:39,840 --> 01:37:43,719
Speaker 3: don't think there's anything more than Travis and and maybe

1997
01:37:43,760 --> 01:37:46,160
Speaker 3: Jason kind of playing into a little bit of banter

1998
01:37:46,360 --> 01:37:49,880
Speaker 3: back and forth. But yeah, December thirty, first New Year's Eve,

1999
01:37:50,400 --> 01:37:53,800
Speaker 3: Sunday night in Kansas City. You know what this part

2000
01:37:53,880 --> 01:37:57,800
Speaker 3: four now, Andy, this of this matchup, can't wait for it.

2001
01:37:57,840 --> 01:38:00,880
Speaker 3: I think the Bengals. I think this is the Bengals year.

2002
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:02,680
Speaker 3: There has not been a back to back champion in

2003
01:38:02,720 --> 01:38:05,760
Speaker 3: the NFL since two thousand and four, right when the

2004
01:38:05,800 --> 01:38:09,439
Speaker 3: Patriots won their second title, third title in four years.

2005
01:38:10,640 --> 01:38:12,919
Speaker 3: It's very hard to repeat in the NFL for many reasons,

2006
01:38:13,360 --> 01:38:15,720
Speaker 3: and it feels like this sort of has to be

2007
01:38:15,760 --> 01:38:18,839
Speaker 3: the Bengals year right within kind of the impending phrasings

2008
01:38:18,840 --> 01:38:21,320
Speaker 3: they have having to pay Joe Burrow, and I think

2009
01:38:21,360 --> 01:38:23,920
Speaker 3: they're really good. It would not surprise me if the

2010
01:38:23,960 --> 01:38:25,439
Speaker 3: Bengals won the AFC this year.

2011
01:38:26,200 --> 01:38:28,200
Speaker 2: I was hoping that game would be pushed up a

2012
01:38:28,200 --> 01:38:29,640
Speaker 2: little early. As a matter of fact, I thought that

2013
01:38:29,680 --> 01:38:30,960
Speaker 2: may have been the opening night game.

2014
01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:33,880
Speaker 3: That there was no chance it was opening nights.

2015
01:38:33,920 --> 01:38:36,160
Speaker 2: Well because the Super Bowl rematch, right, but I thought

2016
01:38:36,240 --> 01:38:39,240
Speaker 2: maybe an opening weekend. But the reason why I was

2017
01:38:39,240 --> 01:38:41,240
Speaker 2: hoping to be earlier because by that time of the year,

2018
01:38:41,520 --> 01:38:43,479
Speaker 2: god forbid, there could be some injuries on either team.

2019
01:38:43,560 --> 01:38:49,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know that time of year, it makes

2020
01:38:49,160 --> 01:38:52,679
Speaker 3: it I think, just much more important right now.

2021
01:38:52,600 --> 01:38:55,320
Speaker 2: And when they meet again several weeks after that and play.

2022
01:38:55,479 --> 01:38:58,360
Speaker 3: It would have been important no matter when you played it,

2023
01:38:58,400 --> 01:39:01,360
Speaker 3: because it's gonna obviously the two and I think you know,

2024
01:39:01,640 --> 01:39:04,400
Speaker 3: the pecking order in an AFC for for home field.

2025
01:39:04,479 --> 01:39:07,000
Speaker 3: You know, we're with with the with the Bills probably

2026
01:39:07,240 --> 01:39:11,600
Speaker 3: saying that as well, but playing it that late in

2027
01:39:11,600 --> 01:39:14,760
Speaker 3: the year again, it just feels way more important. You're

2028
01:39:14,800 --> 01:39:17,160
Speaker 3: absolutely right. You know, injuries play a role and obviously

2029
01:39:17,200 --> 01:39:18,960
Speaker 3: all of this, and we hope that everyone's healthy and

2030
01:39:19,000 --> 01:39:22,920
Speaker 3: able to play in that game. But I like it

2031
01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:24,559
Speaker 3: late in the year. Man, it's just gonna feel like

2032
01:39:24,640 --> 01:39:26,599
Speaker 3: that game is gonna be so important to the league.

2033
01:39:26,680 --> 01:39:29,360
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, it's great. I mean, you know, it's

2034
01:39:29,400 --> 01:39:31,960
Speaker 2: funny because we talk about other sports and like, it's

2035
01:39:32,040 --> 01:39:35,400
Speaker 2: amazing how other sports do not have this banter and

2036
01:39:35,439 --> 01:39:38,479
Speaker 2: this hype. It's a hype machine, and it helps the sport.

2037
01:39:38,560 --> 01:39:41,240
Speaker 2: It helps all tickets, it helps interest, it helps storylines,

2038
01:39:41,280 --> 01:39:44,360
Speaker 2: it helps everybody, helps media, people, helps guys like us.

2039
01:39:44,479 --> 01:39:47,639
Speaker 2: The conversations. I mean, I don't basketball to some extent

2040
01:39:47,680 --> 01:39:50,000
Speaker 2: has that. It really does. Baseball lacks that. I don't

2041
01:39:50,080 --> 01:39:52,840
Speaker 2: understand why. And it's not that hard to get it going.

2042
01:39:52,880 --> 01:39:53,920
Speaker 2: It really isn't.

2043
01:39:53,680 --> 01:39:58,160
Speaker 3: Because baseball is not It's not this. You just can't

2044
01:39:58,160 --> 01:40:01,280
Speaker 3: do that in baseball, man, like, what do you there's

2045
01:40:01,320 --> 01:40:03,960
Speaker 3: no way to to manufacture now there are you.

2046
01:40:04,000 --> 01:40:06,920
Speaker 2: Can look if I'm a baseball player and i'm and

2047
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:10,200
Speaker 2: I'm a catcher, okay, and the guy's at bat and

2048
01:40:10,280 --> 01:40:12,280
Speaker 2: he flips the bat, and I come out and say,

2049
01:40:12,320 --> 01:40:14,200
Speaker 2: if did the game. Next time I guy flips the bat,

2050
01:40:14,240 --> 01:40:16,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna shove the bat when the sun

2051
01:40:16,160 --> 01:40:18,559
Speaker 2: don't shine, you know, so the day ago, that'll start

2052
01:40:18,560 --> 01:40:20,200
Speaker 2: it up again, right, Yeah, but they'll do that.

2053
01:40:20,479 --> 01:40:24,640
Speaker 3: But yeah, but because there's not there's not the physical

2054
01:40:24,680 --> 01:40:28,679
Speaker 3: confrontation that you have. Right. So in football, obviously there's

2055
01:40:28,720 --> 01:40:31,000
Speaker 3: a physical nature to football. You're too you know, two

2056
01:40:31,040 --> 01:40:35,160
Speaker 3: players are physically going at it. In basketball, when you talk,

2057
01:40:35,400 --> 01:40:37,519
Speaker 3: you play each other. You physically play each other. Right

2058
01:40:37,560 --> 01:40:41,320
Speaker 3: If if you talk in baseball, there's none of that.

2059
01:40:41,320 --> 01:40:45,160
Speaker 3: You're not physically playing another player. And so I think

2060
01:40:45,200 --> 01:40:48,519
Speaker 3: baseball is very much kind of uh. You know, fans

2061
01:40:49,160 --> 01:40:51,040
Speaker 3: of teams do not like each other. Teams do not

2062
01:40:51,200 --> 01:40:54,360
Speaker 3: like each other, right, Dodgers, Giants, Yankees, Red Sox. It's

2063
01:40:54,400 --> 01:40:56,479
Speaker 3: not much of a player thing. It's hard. It's hard

2064
01:40:56,520 --> 01:40:59,439
Speaker 3: to have a lot of personal grudges in baseball because

2065
01:40:59,439 --> 01:41:00,720
Speaker 3: you don't get to take out on each other.

2066
01:41:01,880 --> 01:41:04,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I tell you what, they have a commissioner right now.

2067
01:41:04,360 --> 01:41:06,120
Speaker 2: And I said, going into the sement, this guy's got

2068
01:41:06,240 --> 01:41:09,000
Speaker 2: no clue onto about Robert Manfred. He was talking about,

2069
01:41:09,080 --> 01:41:11,479
Speaker 2: you know, in England that he was talking about various

2070
01:41:11,520 --> 01:41:13,760
Speaker 2: things happening in the game of baseball, and he talked

2071
01:41:13,760 --> 01:41:17,160
Speaker 2: about the possible relocation of the Oakland agst to Vegas specifically.

2072
01:41:17,240 --> 01:41:19,920
Speaker 2: Manford was asked about his recent comments in which he

2073
01:41:20,320 --> 01:41:24,639
Speaker 2: appeared to cast blame at Oakland fans for the current

2074
01:41:24,640 --> 01:41:26,600
Speaker 2: state of affairs. I mean, he was talking about the

2075
01:41:26,640 --> 01:41:28,880
Speaker 2: fans came back for twenty five thousand when they showed

2076
01:41:28,880 --> 01:41:31,840
Speaker 2: their support with that reverse boycott, and they wanted the

2077
01:41:31,840 --> 01:41:34,600
Speaker 2: Oakland owner John Fisher to sell the team. And he

2078
01:41:34,720 --> 01:41:36,920
Speaker 2: basically said that it was great, but he thinks there

2079
01:41:36,920 --> 01:41:38,439
Speaker 2: was the fans that they don't come out of a

2080
01:41:38,520 --> 01:41:40,760
Speaker 2: nightly baby. They're not coming out because the team doesn't win,

2081
01:41:40,960 --> 01:41:44,120
Speaker 2: and the stadium is terrible. It's like a sewer, it

2082
01:41:44,160 --> 01:41:47,120
Speaker 2: really is. And he's blaming the fans. Really, come on.

2083
01:41:47,600 --> 01:41:52,320
Speaker 3: Well, okay, here's the thing about commissioners. Guys. You might

2084
01:41:52,360 --> 01:41:55,519
Speaker 3: not like them, and there's there's you know, great reason

2085
01:41:55,560 --> 01:42:01,800
Speaker 3: I like them, but they are paid spokespersons, spokespeople, spokesperson

2086
01:42:01,960 --> 01:42:06,360
Speaker 3: for the ownership in certain leagues. So Roger Goodell gets

2087
01:42:06,439 --> 01:42:11,080
Speaker 3: paid to be the shield for the NFL owners, that's

2088
01:42:11,120 --> 01:42:15,799
Speaker 3: his job. Rob Manford gets paid to be the shield

2089
01:42:15,960 --> 01:42:19,400
Speaker 3: for the for you know, the owners of the A's.

2090
01:42:20,120 --> 01:42:26,760
Speaker 3: And so he's saying things that help and help again,

2091
01:42:26,920 --> 01:42:27,360
Speaker 3: I don't.

2092
01:42:27,160 --> 01:42:29,960
Speaker 2: Really help ingratiate himself with the owners.

2093
01:42:29,760 --> 01:42:32,360
Speaker 3: But no one because the Oakland's fans, I mean, the

2094
01:42:32,600 --> 01:42:35,160
Speaker 3: Oakland A's owner is a bazillionaire, right, so he can

2095
01:42:35,200 --> 01:42:37,040
Speaker 3: definitely state in Oakland if he wanted to build his

2096
01:42:37,080 --> 01:42:41,040
Speaker 3: own stadium. He's just a mouthpiece for ownership. I don't

2097
01:42:41,040 --> 01:42:43,840
Speaker 3: know if Manford actually believes anything he says, and we've seen,

2098
01:42:43,880 --> 01:42:47,360
Speaker 3: like at times Goodell, right, like Goodell I think at

2099
01:42:47,360 --> 01:42:50,040
Speaker 3: times doesn't believe what he says when it comes to ownership, right.

2100
01:42:50,040 --> 01:42:53,280
Speaker 3: We've seen many times where he's lately disagreed with ownership,

2101
01:42:53,360 --> 01:42:56,000
Speaker 3: right when it comes to certain things about about the NFL,

2102
01:42:56,120 --> 01:42:58,760
Speaker 3: especially when it comes to kind of player relations. So

2103
01:42:59,360 --> 01:43:01,719
Speaker 3: this is his mouth man. He's a mouthpiece for ownership,

2104
01:43:01,720 --> 01:43:03,800
Speaker 3: and ownership definitely is gonna blame the fans first, Right,

2105
01:43:03,800 --> 01:43:07,160
Speaker 3: they're gonna blame anyone else besides themselves for the a situation.

2106
01:43:07,240 --> 01:43:10,360
Speaker 3: And certainly Theo's ownership has enough money to build their

2107
01:43:10,360 --> 01:43:12,240
Speaker 3: own stadium. They don't need public funds to build to

2108
01:43:12,240 --> 01:43:15,320
Speaker 3: build a stadium. And they just want to get out

2109
01:43:15,320 --> 01:43:17,439
Speaker 3: of Oakland. Everyone's to leave at Oakland. Right, we're seeing

2110
01:43:17,760 --> 01:43:22,080
Speaker 3: they're gonna lose three franchises. Right, the Warriors went across

2111
01:43:22,120 --> 01:43:24,280
Speaker 3: the bay. The Raiders are now in Vegas, and so

2112
01:43:24,320 --> 01:43:26,400
Speaker 3: are the A's. Look, I am looking forward at seeing

2113
01:43:26,439 --> 01:43:29,400
Speaker 3: baseball in Vegas. I think Vegas is a fun I

2114
01:43:29,439 --> 01:43:32,800
Speaker 3: love visiting Vegas. I visit all the time. It's gonna

2115
01:43:32,800 --> 01:43:35,719
Speaker 3: be obviously hot. I hope that's end or in or building,

2116
01:43:37,000 --> 01:43:40,200
Speaker 3: but yeah, it's uh, he's his mouthpiece, buddy, that's it.

2117
01:43:40,360 --> 01:43:41,240
Speaker 3: You anyway with them all.

2118
01:43:41,160 --> 01:43:42,680
Speaker 2: You want, but you hit it right on the head.

2119
01:43:42,800 --> 01:43:45,400
Speaker 2: I should have realized is the commissions of various sports

2120
01:43:45,479 --> 01:43:48,000
Speaker 2: serve at the pleasure of the owners. The owners vote,

2121
01:43:48,120 --> 01:43:50,479
Speaker 2: vote these guys in, and then a shield for them

2122
01:43:50,479 --> 01:43:52,519
Speaker 2: and the spokesperson, and they all just.

2123
01:43:52,680 --> 01:43:53,960
Speaker 3: I serve at the pleasure of you.

2124
01:43:54,640 --> 01:43:55,240
Speaker 2: Oh you don't.

2125
01:43:56,640 --> 01:43:58,840
Speaker 3: People. People are like shorts me talking about like I

2126
01:43:58,920 --> 01:43:59,920
Speaker 3: just serve at the pleasure of Andy.

2127
01:44:00,479 --> 01:44:06,400
Speaker 2: No. No, I'm I'm your caddy on this show. But

2128
01:44:06,439 --> 01:44:10,240
Speaker 2: here's the deal. I mean, the owners love the Commissioner

2129
01:44:10,280 --> 01:44:12,640
Speaker 2: of Baseball because he's making money for them. What do

2130
01:44:12,760 --> 01:44:14,920
Speaker 2: I mean by that? When he puts these games on

2131
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:18,280
Speaker 2: TV on Apple TV on Sunday mornings easton time at

2132
01:44:18,320 --> 01:44:20,840
Speaker 2: ten o'clock, which I go nuts and he got to

2133
01:44:20,840 --> 01:44:23,720
Speaker 2: pay for. The owners love that. It's extra revenue. He's

2134
01:44:23,720 --> 01:44:26,479
Speaker 2: created revenue streams for these guys, so they love them.

2135
01:44:26,520 --> 01:44:27,080
Speaker 2: That's what they do.

2136
01:44:27,400 --> 01:44:30,759
Speaker 3: And I moved to Vegas will create more revenue streams

2137
01:44:30,760 --> 01:44:33,240
Speaker 3: for baseball because the people are gonna want to go

2138
01:44:33,240 --> 01:44:36,280
Speaker 3: to Vegas. It's it's a destination city.

2139
01:44:36,320 --> 01:44:39,639
Speaker 2: Right If you aybe too late with the NBA there,

2140
01:44:39,880 --> 01:44:41,439
Speaker 2: don't go there. They're going to go in there. And

2141
01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:43,240
Speaker 2: I don't think it's too late.

2142
01:44:43,840 --> 01:44:46,800
Speaker 3: Oh think it's too late in Vegas right now? By

2143
01:44:46,840 --> 01:44:49,719
Speaker 3: the way, you mentioned Golden Knights champions I'm shot.

2144
01:44:50,720 --> 01:44:52,920
Speaker 2: I'm shot that pro sports could survive in Vegas. I

2145
01:44:52,920 --> 01:44:54,960
Speaker 2: always thought it was just a tourist place and didn't

2146
01:44:55,000 --> 01:44:57,519
Speaker 2: think there was a base population that would support a

2147
01:44:57,520 --> 01:44:59,120
Speaker 2: sports team there. I really didn't.

2148
01:44:59,360 --> 01:45:02,160
Speaker 3: Well, I think like a lot of other cities in

2149
01:45:02,200 --> 01:45:06,960
Speaker 3: America there that are growing right now, you have a

2150
01:45:06,960 --> 01:45:10,120
Speaker 3: lot of transplants, right, and they root for different teams,

2151
01:45:10,160 --> 01:45:15,040
Speaker 3: and so when that team is in town, that becomes

2152
01:45:15,040 --> 01:45:16,760
Speaker 3: the team they root for on that day. But for

2153
01:45:16,800 --> 01:45:19,960
Speaker 3: the most part, there's city pride, right. Like you moved

2154
01:45:19,960 --> 01:45:22,639
Speaker 3: to Las Vegas, you're pride full of the place you're

2155
01:45:22,960 --> 01:45:26,040
Speaker 3: now living, and so you become a Las Vegas Aces fan,

2156
01:45:26,080 --> 01:45:27,920
Speaker 3: you become a Goal Knights fan. Now. Of course, if

2157
01:45:27,920 --> 01:45:31,240
Speaker 3: you're from you know, Pittsburgh, and the Steelers show up,

2158
01:45:31,320 --> 01:45:34,280
Speaker 3: or or the or the Penguins show up, you're rooting

2159
01:45:34,280 --> 01:45:37,320
Speaker 3: for that team. We have this in Charlotte where the

2160
01:45:37,360 --> 01:45:41,280
Speaker 3: Panthers are a relatively new team, right and for the

2161
01:45:41,320 --> 01:45:46,200
Speaker 3: most part, the first season ticket owners of Panthers tickets

2162
01:45:46,240 --> 01:45:49,519
Speaker 3: were fans of other teams first, and when those teams

2163
01:45:49,560 --> 01:45:51,800
Speaker 3: showed up, they root for that team. But otherwise we

2164
01:45:51,840 --> 01:45:53,120
Speaker 3: root for the Panthers.

2165
01:45:53,880 --> 01:45:57,320
Speaker 2: Logic, the Tampa Bay Rays should be joined fans out

2166
01:45:57,320 --> 01:45:59,600
Speaker 2: the Wazoos. A they're winning, and there's a lot of

2167
01:45:59,640 --> 01:46:01,880
Speaker 2: trans playing stand from the East, like from Borston to

2168
01:46:01,880 --> 01:46:05,080
Speaker 2: New York, and they can't get flies. They But maybe

2169
01:46:05,439 --> 01:46:08,200
Speaker 2: my thought process might be this, A lot of retirees

2170
01:46:08,240 --> 01:46:10,160
Speaker 2: live there and they're a front to drive at night.

2171
01:46:10,400 --> 01:46:12,760
Speaker 3: It's not a bolnd all. Have you been to the Trump?

2172
01:46:12,800 --> 01:46:13,759
Speaker 3: I wouldn't go to Trump.

2173
01:46:13,880 --> 01:46:16,519
Speaker 2: No, it's bad. It's bad. The location's bad. But I'm

2174
01:46:16,520 --> 01:46:18,679
Speaker 2: thinking also a lot of retirees live there and they're

2175
01:46:18,680 --> 01:46:20,760
Speaker 2: afraid to drive at night to go to games.

2176
01:46:21,360 --> 01:46:23,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean sure, I don't think about that, but

2177
01:46:24,000 --> 01:46:27,519
Speaker 3: that's certainly possible. There's also a thing called uber now

2178
01:46:28,439 --> 01:46:30,560
Speaker 3: lift and other ride sharing apps. You can get the

2179
01:46:30,640 --> 01:46:34,360
Speaker 3: games quite easy now. But yeah, no, that's I think

2180
01:46:34,360 --> 01:46:37,400
Speaker 3: this certainly is part of it as well. But you know,

2181
01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:39,240
Speaker 3: you need to have the mendis And I think that

2182
01:46:39,800 --> 01:46:41,720
Speaker 3: with a new stadium in Vegas, the A's will have

2183
01:46:41,760 --> 01:46:43,479
Speaker 3: the amenities at the stadium that they just don't have.

2184
01:46:43,560 --> 01:46:46,200
Speaker 3: The Oka Colosseum is a dump and they need to

2185
01:46:46,200 --> 01:46:47,400
Speaker 3: get a new stadium. For sure.

2186
01:46:47,960 --> 01:46:49,800
Speaker 2: You're exactly right, And we'll see, and I think they will.

2187
01:46:49,840 --> 01:46:51,679
Speaker 2: They will go to Vegas, no doubt about that. Right,

2188
01:46:51,720 --> 01:46:55,120
Speaker 2: we move on. Jeff Schwartz, Andy Furman, Fox Sports Sunday

2189
01:46:55,240 --> 01:46:58,240
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio, And this name is a perfect

2190
01:46:58,360 --> 01:47:01,600
Speaker 2: fit and Kevin Wyatt's sports is a perfect fit and

2191
01:47:01,600 --> 01:47:02,719
Speaker 2: it's all yours next.

2192
01:47:03,040 --> 01:47:04,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, great fit for sports.

2193
01:47:04,920 --> 01:47:07,479
Speaker 4: We do have a game baseball game coming up at

2194
01:47:07,479 --> 01:47:10,920
Speaker 4: ten o'clock Eastern, seven am Pacific, an early morning game.

2195
01:47:10,960 --> 01:47:14,400
Speaker 4: That's because it's gonna be in London, Cubs and Cardinals.

2196
01:47:15,040 --> 01:47:19,679
Speaker 4: As it was, Chicago winning yesterday nine to one, taking

2197
01:47:19,720 --> 01:47:23,000
Speaker 4: that first game of that two game London series. But

2198
01:47:23,080 --> 01:47:27,680
Speaker 4: the records were set in Colorado, the Angels setting a

2199
01:47:27,680 --> 01:47:31,080
Speaker 4: new franchise record for offense. They had twenty five runs

2200
01:47:31,080 --> 01:47:34,120
Speaker 4: in last night's game, beating Colorado twenty five to one,

2201
01:47:34,160 --> 01:47:37,759
Speaker 4: and they led twenty three to nothing after four innings.

2202
01:47:37,840 --> 01:47:39,800
Speaker 4: That was the first time in the last fifty years

2203
01:47:39,800 --> 01:47:43,120
Speaker 4: a team has scored that much that quickly. The Halos

2204
01:47:43,120 --> 01:47:45,599
Speaker 4: franchise record for most runs was twenty four. They set

2205
01:47:45,640 --> 01:47:47,880
Speaker 4: that back in nineteen seventy nine, so a new record

2206
01:47:47,960 --> 01:47:51,360
Speaker 4: set on it Saturday. There was also a trade made

2207
01:47:51,439 --> 01:47:54,640
Speaker 4: after the game between these two teams, Colorado agreeing to

2208
01:47:54,680 --> 01:47:57,560
Speaker 4: send Mike Mustakis over to the Angels in exchange for

2209
01:47:57,600 --> 01:48:01,160
Speaker 4: a couple of minor league players. Dodgers with to come

2210
01:48:01,160 --> 01:48:03,599
Speaker 4: from behind win against the Astros eight seven, getting the

2211
01:48:03,880 --> 01:48:05,559
Speaker 4: go ahead run in the bottom of the eighth inning

2212
01:48:05,640 --> 01:48:09,599
Speaker 4: on a bock call. The Giants beat the Diamondbacks seven

2213
01:48:09,600 --> 01:48:13,000
Speaker 4: to six. The Cincinnati Reds, the hottest team in baseball,

2214
01:48:13,040 --> 01:48:15,400
Speaker 4: had a twelve game winning streak going into Saturday, but

2215
01:48:15,439 --> 01:48:17,320
Speaker 4: it came to an end at the hands of the

2216
01:48:17,400 --> 01:48:20,360
Speaker 4: Atlanta Braves seven to six. That's inspired of the fact

2217
01:48:20,360 --> 01:48:23,360
Speaker 4: that they were able to hit four home runs. The

2218
01:48:23,360 --> 01:48:26,080
Speaker 4: Blue Jays beat the Oakland Athletics seven to three. Oakland

2219
01:48:26,120 --> 01:48:29,519
Speaker 4: a dreadful twenty and fifty nine this season. Royals aren't

2220
01:48:29,520 --> 01:48:31,240
Speaker 4: doing much better, but they did beat the best team

2221
01:48:31,240 --> 01:48:33,920
Speaker 4: in baseball in the Tampa Bay Rays nine to four.

2222
01:48:34,320 --> 01:48:37,160
Speaker 4: The upstart Baltimore Orioles they get an extra inning win

2223
01:48:37,200 --> 01:48:40,320
Speaker 4: against the Mariners six to four. The Mets beat the

2224
01:48:40,320 --> 01:48:43,759
Speaker 4: Phillies four to two. Yankees shutting out the Texas Rangers

2268
01:50:51,360 --> 01:50:54,640
Speaker 3: not not like wholesale name changes. No.

2269
01:50:54,640 --> 01:50:56,559
Speaker 2: Now, what would you do if you were in the

2270
01:50:56,640 --> 01:50:59,320
Speaker 2: NFL right now? To well? I mean, look, I mean

2271
01:50:59,320 --> 01:51:01,360
Speaker 2: if you're in college, let's sen forget about the NFL.

2272
01:51:01,479 --> 01:51:03,600
Speaker 2: You're in college right now, what would you knew to

2273
01:51:03,720 --> 01:51:06,759
Speaker 2: do to to get the nil thing hopping for yourself.

2274
01:51:06,760 --> 01:51:09,320
Speaker 2: But I guess it's difficult for for linemen, right, I

2275
01:51:09,360 --> 01:51:13,400
Speaker 2: mean ni L basically receivers, quarterbacks, running backs in college.

2276
01:51:13,439 --> 01:51:15,000
Speaker 2: They're gonna make the big bucks.

2277
01:51:15,520 --> 01:51:16,960
Speaker 3: I mean I would have gone. I would have leaned

2278
01:51:17,000 --> 01:51:19,960
Speaker 3: into probably the Jewish thing a little bit, you know,

2279
01:51:21,360 --> 01:51:23,400
Speaker 3: get you know, get get a man of Chevet sponsorship

2280
01:51:23,479 --> 01:51:27,040
Speaker 3: or something strikes maatsa yeah something. Yeah, No, I would

2281
01:51:27,040 --> 01:51:29,280
Speaker 3: have I don't know, I'm off it's a lineman man.

2282
01:51:29,320 --> 01:51:31,519
Speaker 3: I probably not getting very much. But I would lean

2283
01:51:31,520 --> 01:51:34,800
Speaker 3: into social media, you know, the Jewish you know, the

2284
01:51:34,840 --> 01:51:38,639
Speaker 3: Jewish part of it. That's probably what I would have done.

2285
01:51:38,920 --> 01:51:41,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I want you know, it's a difficult thing,

2286
01:51:41,840 --> 01:51:45,080
Speaker 2: but this you get social media. I guess being an

2287
01:51:45,080 --> 01:51:47,840
Speaker 2: athlete or your athletic skill is almost secondary to the

2288
01:51:47,880 --> 01:51:50,880
Speaker 2: amount of followers you have, isn't that correct. I mean

2289
01:51:50,920 --> 01:51:52,719
Speaker 2: I went to goin to go back to these girls,

2290
01:51:53,160 --> 01:51:58,240
Speaker 2: the twins in Miami. They weren't great basketball players Miami. Yeah,

2291
01:51:58,320 --> 01:51:59,719
Speaker 2: but they weren't like all America.

2292
01:51:59,720 --> 01:52:02,000
Speaker 3: They're not going to w NB A no no.

2293
01:52:02,040 --> 01:52:05,560
Speaker 2: But but they're on Twitter and they're on Facebook, Instagram

2294
01:52:05,560 --> 01:52:07,920
Speaker 2: all over the place, and you know, people giving them

2295
01:52:07,920 --> 01:52:08,679
Speaker 2: the bucks, I guess.

2296
01:52:08,960 --> 01:52:12,920
Speaker 3: But again, like there is, there is some talent to

2297
01:52:12,960 --> 01:52:16,559
Speaker 3: creating a high profile on social media, like you have

2298
01:52:16,640 --> 01:52:19,800
Speaker 3: to have you have to understand what social media is

2299
01:52:19,800 --> 01:52:23,720
Speaker 3: about and the best of the market yourself. And yeah,

2300
01:52:24,080 --> 01:52:26,880
Speaker 3: people have a hard time with the idea that, you know,

2301
01:52:27,160 --> 01:52:31,040
Speaker 3: people that aren't as talented as you expect kind of

2302
01:52:31,040 --> 01:52:33,519
Speaker 3: get support and at that that level, right, I think

2303
01:52:33,520 --> 01:52:35,800
Speaker 3: you have a hard time with that. But I don't

2304
01:52:35,800 --> 01:52:37,160
Speaker 3: hate the I don't hate the grind man. I don't

2305
01:52:37,439 --> 01:52:40,719
Speaker 3: like these these ladies. Man, they you got a big following,

2306
01:52:40,800 --> 01:52:42,400
Speaker 3: like they know what they're doing social media.

2307
01:52:42,439 --> 01:52:45,719
Speaker 2: And at LSU, she's got millions to follow with millions

2308
01:52:45,840 --> 01:52:48,599
Speaker 2: and she's making millions. But where does she go from there?

2309
01:52:48,600 --> 01:52:51,320
Speaker 2: There's no professional gymnastics league. What does she do?

2310
01:52:52,160 --> 01:52:57,200
Speaker 3: Uh m? I mean, whatever she wants. I don't know.

2311
01:52:57,200 --> 01:53:00,240
Speaker 3: If she's in college. I think she's young. She still

2312
01:53:00,240 --> 01:53:01,800
Speaker 3: figure out what you know yet.

2313
01:53:01,560 --> 01:53:02,799
Speaker 2: Literal the Olympics, I'm sure.

2314
01:53:03,760 --> 01:53:05,360
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think she's good enough to be

2315
01:53:05,360 --> 01:53:07,640
Speaker 3: an Olympian, but I think that that's a possibility she

2316
01:53:07,680 --> 01:53:10,240
Speaker 3: would do it. I don't know I mean, what does

2317
01:53:10,280 --> 01:53:12,519
Speaker 3: anyone do when they leave college and find a job, right, Like,

2318
01:53:13,560 --> 01:53:18,559
Speaker 3: I mean, so her job might be you'd be an influencer, right.

2319
01:53:18,640 --> 01:53:21,679
Speaker 2: But he was my question initially when NIL came out,

2320
01:53:22,080 --> 01:53:24,439
Speaker 2: I initially thought it was like the quarterback of a

2321
01:53:24,479 --> 01:53:28,360
Speaker 2: local university would be paid by the local maybe auto

2322
01:53:28,479 --> 01:53:31,759
Speaker 2: dealership to show up like after the season on Saturday

2323
01:53:31,800 --> 01:53:34,880
Speaker 2: mornings to sign. I have yet to see on social

2324
01:53:34,960 --> 01:53:40,200
Speaker 2: media any athlete attached to his name of a local sponsorship.

2325
01:53:40,320 --> 01:53:41,160
Speaker 2: I've never seen that.

2326
01:53:41,240 --> 01:53:44,439
Speaker 3: Oh so they're Oh no, they're they're they're around Andy.

2327
01:53:45,880 --> 01:53:47,880
Speaker 3: It's just in the local market, you know, like you're

2328
01:53:47,880 --> 01:53:50,479
Speaker 3: not going to see you. I'm an organ doucer. I'm

2329
01:53:50,479 --> 01:53:52,160
Speaker 3: not going to see I live in Charlotte, North Carolina.

2330
01:53:52,200 --> 01:53:55,760
Speaker 3: I'm not going to see a car dealership deal from

2331
01:53:55,800 --> 01:53:58,200
Speaker 3: a player who's in Eugene. But they're they're happening, and

2332
01:53:58,280 --> 01:54:00,439
Speaker 3: that's that's the way players are getting a kind of

2333
01:54:00,439 --> 01:54:03,559
Speaker 3: funnel that that money that we talked about was not

2334
01:54:03,600 --> 01:54:06,200
Speaker 3: really the purpose of NIL, was not the front of NL,

2335
01:54:06,240 --> 01:54:08,040
Speaker 3: but obviously it was going to be the end of

2336
01:54:08,240 --> 01:54:10,120
Speaker 3: the outcome of NIL, which is that players kind of

2337
01:54:10,120 --> 01:54:11,920
Speaker 3: that pay for play that we talked about earlier.

2338
01:54:11,960 --> 01:54:14,559
Speaker 2: So in other words, if I'm if I'm a I'm

2339
01:54:14,600 --> 01:54:17,320
Speaker 2: a graduate of Oklahoma State University, for example, I'm a

2340
01:54:17,320 --> 01:54:20,160
Speaker 2: big fan, I'm a big booster, and in years past,

2341
01:54:20,200 --> 01:54:23,439
Speaker 2: I'd give some money to athletes, let's say, under the table,

2342
01:54:23,560 --> 01:54:26,040
Speaker 2: because I want to see big players come to Oklahoma State.

2343
01:54:26,240 --> 01:54:28,360
Speaker 2: So now I'm doing it above board because it's legal.

2344
01:54:28,479 --> 01:54:30,040
Speaker 2: I could give him the same amount of money and

2345
01:54:30,200 --> 01:54:31,800
Speaker 2: saying that he's going to come out to my car

2346
01:54:31,880 --> 01:54:35,920
Speaker 2: dealership on Saturdays when the season's over to sign autographs.

2347
01:54:36,280 --> 01:54:39,400
Speaker 2: That's basically what it is, correct, Yes, right, So it's

2348
01:54:39,440 --> 01:54:43,960
Speaker 2: it's legal above board, you know, buying players, that's basically

2349
01:54:44,040 --> 01:54:48,000
Speaker 2: what it is. Oh yeah, but this kid may not

2350
01:54:48,040 --> 01:54:48,960
Speaker 2: have a following.

2351
01:54:49,240 --> 01:54:53,480
Speaker 3: To be fair, you're not supposed to technically pay for

2352
01:54:53,520 --> 01:54:56,800
Speaker 3: the players that that's not legal. But the way around it,

2353
01:54:56,840 --> 01:54:58,960
Speaker 3: obviously is you say like, hey, when you get here,

2354
01:54:59,560 --> 01:55:03,080
Speaker 3: we will get you this deal. But you're not allowed to,

2355
01:55:04,080 --> 01:55:06,840
Speaker 3: you know, to say, come to my school for X

2356
01:55:06,840 --> 01:55:08,320
Speaker 3: amount of money. Right.

2357
01:55:08,640 --> 01:55:11,800
Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm still that same booster and I find

2358
01:55:11,800 --> 01:55:16,680
Speaker 2: out there's a five star quarterback in in im Butte Montana, Okay,

2359
01:55:16,920 --> 01:55:19,400
Speaker 2: I want it to come here. Although he doesn't even

2360
01:55:19,440 --> 01:55:21,600
Speaker 2: have a social media account, or if he does is

2361
01:55:21,680 --> 01:55:24,440
Speaker 2: very very small. Okay, so he's does he still get

2362
01:55:24,440 --> 01:55:27,400
Speaker 2: involved with nil? Nil is supposed to be with your

2382
01:56:20,720 --> 01:56:24,520
Speaker 2: What is all your fault.

2383
01:56:25,560 --> 01:56:30,040
Speaker 1: Maybe it's everyone's fault, the liar. That's why there's the

2384
01:56:30,040 --> 01:56:32,720
Speaker 1: blame game, the blame game. Let's figure out who to.

2385
01:56:32,680 --> 01:56:35,480
Speaker 2: Blame the blame game. Yeah, there's doing and the man

2386
01:56:35,560 --> 01:56:38,600
Speaker 2: of John's the finger point himself, Ethan Miller of the Biggie.

2387
01:56:38,960 --> 01:56:43,680
Speaker 5: All right, guys, Uh to start off, Uh, here's who

2388
01:56:43,680 --> 01:56:47,920
Speaker 5: we're gonna blame today. So four out of five players

2389
01:56:48,160 --> 01:56:51,920
Speaker 5: uh first drafted in the NBA Draft on Thursday did

2390
01:56:51,920 --> 01:56:56,320
Speaker 5: not come from an American college. Who's the blame for

2391
01:56:56,400 --> 01:57:00,280
Speaker 5: this that? You know, college hoops aren't you know, I

2392
01:57:00,360 --> 01:57:03,160
Speaker 5: don't have that big presence in the top five.

2393
01:57:03,480 --> 01:57:08,920
Speaker 3: College basketball itself. I mean, these players are making more

2394
01:57:08,960 --> 01:57:13,800
Speaker 3: money playing in the G League and playing in the

2395
01:57:14,560 --> 01:57:17,000
Speaker 3: the Night League, right, and that's what it is, or

2396
01:57:17,040 --> 01:57:20,080
Speaker 3: overtime something like that. They're just making more. They're making

2397
01:57:20,120 --> 01:57:23,080
Speaker 3: more money. I think the the one and done rule. Right.

2398
01:57:23,720 --> 01:57:25,800
Speaker 3: You know, these players want to go to the NBA

2399
01:57:25,960 --> 01:57:28,600
Speaker 3: immediately and they're not going to So they're gonna, well,

2400
01:57:28,600 --> 01:57:30,000
Speaker 3: I go to college for a year when you don't

2401
01:57:30,040 --> 01:57:31,839
Speaker 3: want to study, you don't want to get a degree,

2402
01:57:32,440 --> 01:57:34,760
Speaker 3: Let's go play in the overtime league, right or let's

2403
01:57:34,760 --> 01:57:39,960
Speaker 3: go play in the G League or whatever. So I yeah,

2404
01:57:40,040 --> 01:57:40,520
Speaker 3: I get it.

2405
01:57:41,320 --> 01:57:43,280
Speaker 2: You know, I think it's a credit, not a blame.

2406
01:57:43,320 --> 01:57:45,680
Speaker 2: It's a credit to the success of the game of basketball.

2407
01:57:45,720 --> 01:57:47,520
Speaker 2: How it's grown. I got four out of five guys

2408
01:57:47,680 --> 01:57:49,240
Speaker 2: that didn't play in college. The only one was the

2409
01:57:49,320 --> 01:57:51,760
Speaker 2: number two big Brandon Miller, who went to Alabama pick

2410
01:57:51,760 --> 01:57:53,960
Speaker 2: by the Charlotte Hornets. But other than that, I mean,

2411
01:57:54,040 --> 01:57:56,720
Speaker 2: I think it's a great situation. The game has grown

2412
01:57:56,800 --> 01:57:59,480
Speaker 2: so much, it's so big. It's Look, I don't think

2413
01:57:59,520 --> 01:58:02,120
Speaker 2: college is everybody anyway. So when you got these guys

2414
01:58:02,120 --> 01:58:04,360
Speaker 2: that went to overtime e lead like the Twins, the

2415
01:58:04,360 --> 01:58:07,360
Speaker 2: Thompson Twins a minute's are I mean, I think it's great.

2416
01:58:07,360 --> 01:58:09,280
Speaker 2: You don't want to go to college, fine, go play,

2417
01:58:09,480 --> 01:58:11,880
Speaker 2: Go play the game that you studied for basketball, And

2418
01:58:11,880 --> 01:58:12,320
Speaker 2: that's great.

2419
01:58:14,600 --> 01:58:18,800
Speaker 5: So we see that there are you know, there's a

2420
01:58:18,800 --> 01:58:24,080
Speaker 5: lot of time stoppage between plays because of instant replay

2421
01:58:25,040 --> 01:58:29,200
Speaker 5: in the NFL and the NBA, and it's taken a

2422
01:58:29,240 --> 01:58:32,840
Speaker 5: lot of time away from the game, adding more time

2423
01:58:32,920 --> 01:58:36,720
Speaker 5: to the games on average twenty five minutes. Who's the

2424
01:58:36,760 --> 01:58:40,960
Speaker 5: blame for this and how do we change on average Yeah,

2425
01:58:41,000 --> 01:58:43,960
Speaker 5: on average, there's an extra twenty five minutes on average

2426
01:58:43,960 --> 01:58:45,720
Speaker 5: when there's instant replay.

2427
01:58:45,360 --> 01:58:47,480
Speaker 3: And when there's instant replay, yeah, when there's I mean

2428
01:58:47,480 --> 01:58:50,640
Speaker 3: it's much longer in the NBA. NBA like the end

2429
01:58:50,640 --> 01:58:53,360
Speaker 3: of games is ridiculous. It could take it could take

2430
01:58:53,440 --> 01:58:55,880
Speaker 3: three minutes on the clock. In thirty minutes in college

2431
01:58:55,920 --> 01:58:59,000
Speaker 3: basketball is the worst of them all. I think the

2432
01:58:59,080 --> 01:59:02,200
Speaker 3: NFL will review probably this as pretty quick for the

2433
01:59:02,240 --> 01:59:04,600
Speaker 3: most part. Right it's they've been able to shorten up

2434
01:59:04,760 --> 01:59:07,640
Speaker 3: and make it, you know, and now they're doing those

2435
01:59:08,080 --> 01:59:10,000
Speaker 3: you know kind of review but with the sky judge

2436
01:59:10,000 --> 01:59:13,160
Speaker 3: pretty quickly. I mean, I think the NFL does it

2437
01:59:13,160 --> 01:59:13,720
Speaker 3: pretty well.

2438
01:59:14,200 --> 01:59:15,680
Speaker 2: I think the bottom line is you want to get

2439
01:59:15,680 --> 01:59:17,400
Speaker 2: it right, and I get that. But the point is

2440
01:59:17,440 --> 01:59:19,960
Speaker 2: that you take away the momentum factor and fans are

2441
01:59:20,040 --> 01:59:22,760
Speaker 2: just getting bored, you know what. I think the referees

2442
01:59:22,840 --> 01:59:25,440
Speaker 2: as a whole would vote against these replays because at

2443
01:59:25,480 --> 01:59:27,480
Speaker 2: times it makes them look bad. You know what, It's

2444
01:59:27,480 --> 01:59:30,160
Speaker 2: a human era. Human era happens in sports, has happened

2445
01:59:30,200 --> 01:59:33,320
Speaker 2: all these years prior to replay. Go back to where

2446
01:59:33,360 --> 01:59:35,320
Speaker 2: it was, go back to the way it was.

2447
01:59:36,240 --> 01:59:39,880
Speaker 5: All right, last one before we head off. DeVante Adams

2448
01:59:39,920 --> 01:59:43,320
Speaker 5: recently had his assault charges drop. We see a lot

2449
01:59:43,360 --> 01:59:46,520
Speaker 5: of athletes recently making poor choices off the field. Why

2450
01:59:46,880 --> 01:59:47,800
Speaker 5: who's the blame for this?

2451
01:59:48,920 --> 01:59:51,160
Speaker 3: It's a very small minority of players. There's a lot

2452
01:59:51,160 --> 01:59:53,320
Speaker 3: of great players in all sports that don't get in trouble.

2453
01:59:53,720 --> 01:59:54,240
Speaker 2: There you go.
