34
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 5: How about him? Cowboy who? Well?

35
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: There was final game, Final Game, Week nine on the

36
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: NFL card at the Jerry Jones Fund Zone. I saw

37
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: former Fox Sports Radio Morning personalit of there. Stephen A

38
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: was hanging out with Jerry.

39
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 5: In the box.

40
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: What's in the box? A man in a pink suit? Anyway,

41
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: So Trey McBride, the Cardinals are so bad. Trey McBride

42
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: was the headliner coming in this game. Trey McBride the

43
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: tight end of the Cardinals clown car rolling in to

44
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: the Cowboys crib. We'll match up there Jerry Jones' favorite

45
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: NFL team, and it was on an island game. An

46
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: island game. He had Troy Aikman and Joe Buck on

47
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: the call.

48
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 5: Did you watch? Were you checking this game? I know,

49
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 5: maybe not.

50
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: We'll back up quarterback Jacoby Brissett and he wasn't supposed

51
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: to play in this game at the beginning of the week.

52
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: It was gonna be Kyler, sorry, but the old switcher route,

53
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: and so Bersett was in there. He threw not one

54
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: but two touchdowns and ran for a score as Kyler

55
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: Alligator Arms Murray could not play a little fella had

56
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: a small injury foot injury and the Cardinals the Cardinals

57
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: a domination situation by Arizona's Dallas was never really in

58
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: this game twenty seven to seventeen, raising Arizona as they

59
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: get to win there a Monday night. The Cardinals had

60
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: a five game skid, a route that came to an end.

61
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: There they snap the losing streak with a very comfortable win,

62
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: A very very comfortable win for the team from the

63
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: Grand Canyon State. Now Marvin Harrison Junior, who had been

64
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: a Jag, not a Jacksonville jack just a guy in

65
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: his brief NFL career. He had a breakout game, big

66
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: first half. The stat line was big first half. Those

67
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: seven catches, ninety six yards and a touchdown. There was

68
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: one play where he scored in the end zone the

69
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: touchdown there where he literally broke the ankles of the

70
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: Cowboy defensive player. There great highlight for him and Jacoby

71
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 1: Brissett though the headliner here he made the third consecutive

72
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: start there for the Cardinals. They get their third win

73
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: of the year, and they win for just the second time.

74
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: The stats been going around the second time in eighteen

75
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: games without the little fella alligator arms Murray, the fun

76
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: sized quarterback.

77
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 5: And so the.

78
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: Better story, though, is in the losing locker room. The

79
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 1: better stories in the losing locker room. The Cowboys were

80
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: not ready to play. Does anyone disagree with that statement?

81
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: The Cowboys were not ready to play. I don't see

82
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: anyone raising their hands, so no one disagrees. Good good

83
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: job by you not disagreeing. So they weren't ready. They

84
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: were shut out in the first quarter. They had a

85
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: promising drive that went could put to start the game

86
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: and then that was it fumbled by Mike count four times,

87
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: lost a couple of those fumbles, Dak Prescott in a

88
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: helter skelter comeback situation, had an interception, but didn't play

89
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: all that well, did not play all that well. Just

90
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: a bad mess of a game for the Dallas Cowboys.

91
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: They're in the better story on the losing side. So

92
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: that is where we will begin a good jumping off point.

93
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question, what does this performance

94
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: with all eyes of the football world on it, what

95
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: does this performance say about Brian Schottenheimer, Shannie and his

96
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: coaching run with the Dallas Cowboys. So my thoughts on this,

97
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: I've got Slurpye, media, mafia, and hot pocket, and we

98
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are

99
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: going to pig.

100
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 5: Out point point point. We're gonna pick out, all right.

101
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: So my first thought on this A let's start with

102
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: when you take a look down. You get in the

103
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: black Hole helicopter, not black Hawk down the black Hawk helicopter,

104
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: and you go up in the sky and you look.

105
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 5: Down and you look around, look at the landscape there.

106
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 5: What do you see?

107
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 2: All right?

108
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,799
Speaker 1: So here's what I see, okay, And I'm never wrong

109
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: about these things. I'm never wrong about these things. Same

110
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: old Cowboys that's what I see, all right, same old,

111
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:24,679
Speaker 1: over hyped, over decorated, under discipline mess. You've got George

112
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: Pickens taunting when the Cowboys are desperately trying to get

113
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: back in the game, but he's trying to get style points. Man,

114
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: you gotta get style points. Undisciplined slop is what that was.

115
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: Just bad football, bad football personified. That's the epitome of

116
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. And so you look at Schottenheimer's a glorified

117
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: seat filler, and the man's essentially house sitting, and he's

118
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: house sitting for the ghost of Mike McCarthy's fat ass

119
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: who got let go last year. And so it's all

120
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: just a placeholder, is what it is for the Dallas Cowboys.

121
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: I mean, the main problem is the defense of For

122
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: some reason, we have Shottenheimer talking about the offense.

123
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 5: But we'll play it because we have it. Here we go.

124
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 6: We got to play better offensively. We're better than ten points,

125
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 6: which is all we scored. Great job by Sam on

126
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 6: the punt and block special teams, but for us to

127
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 6: score ten points offensively is not the standard, and no

128
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 6: one's happy about that.

129
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, the people that better on the Cardinals are

130
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: very happy about that. So I don't know that no

131
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: one's happy about that. But you look at the Cardinals

132
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: and they're not evolving. This is mid season in the NFL.

133
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: We're now done with Week nine. They only play seventeen,

134
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: so it's actually a little bit past mid season there.

135
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: There's no actual mid season. Eight and a half weeks

136
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: would be mid season. So the Cardinals and Cowboys played

137
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: the midway point as much as you can say. I

138
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: know some teams have had buys or whatever, so they're

139
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: just existing that Dallas Cowboys.

140
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 5: I every week, it's every game, it's.

141
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: The five o'clock follies, blown coverages to the right, mistackles

142
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: to the left, stupid penalties in the air, everywhere. That's

143
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: the Dallas. You can practically hear the circus music in

144
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: the background when you watch them try to tackle. It

145
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: is fascinating how much they suck on defense for a

146
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: team that supposedly practices. And everyone was talking up Matt Eberflus,

147
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator who cut his chops in Indianapolis as

148
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: the Colts defensive coordinator, got a good reputation and he's

149
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: been living on that.

150
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 5: Got the Bears job.

151
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: Sucked in Chicago goes to Dallas, blows in Dallas.

152
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 5: What's next? I don't know. TV. Probably suck at TV.

153
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 5: We get that job too. What the hell?

154
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: The defense, in particular, they build as America's team, the

155
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. A big selling point there, the proprietary blent.

156
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: We've heard of the Tampa two defense. You've heard of

157
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: the forty six defense by the Chicago Bears back in

158
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: the day.

159
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 5: Legendary defenses in the NFL.

160
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: The Dallas Cowboys defense is the seven to eleven defense.

161
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: It's the seven eleven defense because these guys look like

162
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: they should be working the night shift at a seven

163
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: eleven the way they're trying to tackle and they're playing defense.

164
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: There just arm tackling, lazy angles on defense there, and

165
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: you look around, it's like would you like a slurp?

166
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 7: Bee, sir?

167
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: Would you like a slurpee with those nachos? And that misdassignment?

168
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 5: My god? And so yet oh boo.

169
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: The Cowboys traded Michael Parsons, their top defensive so apparently

170
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: they don't have to hustle, they don't have to tackle

171
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: because the Jerry Jones traded Michael Burton. So that is

172
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: the ultimate. Okay, we blow, let's not try to get better?

173
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: Excuse and then am I correct on?

174
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 7: That?

175
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 5: Is that how this works? Okay? I know Jerry's trying

176
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 5: to find some glory.

177
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: Whole, but the cowboy I get that they traded Michael Parsons.

178
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: It's a team game. You put the collective unit together.

179
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: If you tackle as a team, you play discipline football.

180
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: And I'm not a cowboy fan. I don't have skin

181
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: in the game. I just want to watch and observe this.

182
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, the sum of the parts, well, the

183
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: sum of the parts is, let's make some business decisions

184
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: and not well, not hustle on certain plays and all that.

185
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 5: My god, there's no rallying again.

186
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: Just a lot of business decisions mixed with lazy angles

187
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: and arm tackling and all that stuff. It's like a

188
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: garage seal out there. Jacoby Frickin Brissett sliced you up.

189
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 5: He diced you up. Jacoby Brissett.

190
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissett like a surgeon doing outpatient work. He averaged

191
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: eight point four yards per pass. Jacoby Brissett did.

192
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 5: That to you? Where'd he hurt you? Everywhere?

193
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: He hurts you everywhere? Two passing touchdowns one on the ground.

194
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: Let me repeat that for those of your little slocas.

195
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 5: It's at night. Here, Jacoby Brissett did that. He did that.

196
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: That's not bad luck. It's not bad luck. That's that's

197
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: bad football. That's that's Brian Schottenheimer's Dallas Cowboy. The Cowboys

198
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: are who we thought they were, a mirage with nice logos.

199
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 5: On their helmet.

200
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: They have good, good logos there, and they do look

201
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: marvel Is getting off the bus. Don't they look good?

202
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: Those uniforms, man, they look solid. Now when they actually play.

203
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: It's rather discussing Dak Prescott sucked. What happened to that

204
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: MVP campaign for Dak Prescott? It's in a ditch on

205
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: the side of the road.

206
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 5: Anyway.

207
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,239
Speaker 1: Here's Dak Prescott with his latest excuse on the Dallas Cowboys,

208
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: riding the vomit comet tigles.

209
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 8: So frustrating because I'm not just going to accept that, oh,

210
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 8: this team is inconsistent. This team is just up and

211
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 8: down like we're going to be as long as we

212
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 8: ride the wave of you know, the media and you

213
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 8: know the media and the media game to the next

214
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 8: and not putting the blame on you guys. But you know,

215
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 8: we want to game and we feel really good about ourselves.

216
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 8: And you think you're just going to go in the

217
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 8: next next week and smack that opponent.

218
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: And you don't.

219
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 8: Then you know, you feel at upset and you look

220
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 8: in the mirror and you come back and you give

221
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 8: give a better performance. You know, that's what's been happening

222
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 8: this year other than tonight. And so when you've put

223
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 8: two bad games or two ugly losses back to back,

224
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 8: you gotta find answers.

225
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 5: We know the answers. You suck, Your team sucks. That's it.

226
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 5: You're never going You're you're the definition of blah.

227
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: Cowboys will win seven games or eight games or something

228
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: along those lines, they'll finish around five hundred, and they're

229
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 1: not making the playoffs.

230
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 5: Playoffs.

231
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: That's how happened. Yeah, on the Arizona side of things,

232
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: everyone's been yapping. We'll frame the question this way. One's

233
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: been yappening here. Both ABC broadcasters Troy Aikman and Joe

234
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: Buck said they expect the Arizona Cardinals to stick with

235
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: quarterback Jacoby Brissett that seems like kind of a big deal,

236
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: and not go back to Kyler Murray. So again, both

237
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: Joe Buck and Troy Aikman going on the record that

238
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: they believe Kyler Murray has lost his job, he has

239
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: been demoted, that he has been put in the doghouse

240
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: in favor of Jacoby Brissett.

241
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 5: Is this something or is this nothing?

242
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: So at first glance you say, well, who cares what

243
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: Joe Buck and Troy Aikman say.

244
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 5: They're just a couple of media hacks.

245
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: You don't know anything like That's what the low information

246
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: fan would say. I'm telling you right now, it's something.

247
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. It's something here. They're not hot take guys.

248
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: Akeman and Buck are not hot take guys. They're well

249
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: compensated for what they do. They're the Fox refugees. They

250
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: ran off to ESPN to get the big pile of money.

251
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: They're the free agency. Good for them, Good for them.

252
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: But Joe Buck and Troy Aikman do not dabble in

253
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: the social media hot take ecosystem. That's not what they

254
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: do here. They are made men. Joe Buck and Troy

255
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: Aikman are made men. They are They're in the elite

256
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 1: NFL media mafia. And when you're in the mafia and

257
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: you're a made man in the media mafia. You don't

258
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: speak out of class. You don't do it. You cannot

259
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: do it because they'll whack you.

260
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 5: They will whack you.

261
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: And so what I'm imagining happened here, just based on

262
00:13:55,720 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: connecting the dots, is that they are simply regurgitating Buck

263
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: and Aikman what they heard in the little pregame pow Wow.

264
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: They're Starbucks huddle with Jonathan Gannon, the coach of the Cardinals,

265
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: and the Arizona staff, the people that they meet with there,

266
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,239
Speaker 1: lattee in one hand and then you've got the laminated

267
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: play sheet in the other. You sit around a round

268
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: table in a hotel ballroom and it's the Brotherhood of Intel's,

269
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: that's what it is. You get the coaches all comfortable,

270
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: they're all relaxed there over a little maple bar, possibly

271
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: a Long John, but most likely a maple bar double espresso.

272
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: You've got that going there, and they just start talking

273
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: and they just start chirping. And you don't have to

274
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: be an NFL guru. You don't have to be some

275
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: kind of guru here. You can just simply read between

276
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: the lines on this and inside that building. Kyler Murray's

277
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: the guy you want at the controls. If you're trying

278
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: to win a Call of Duty tournament, that is the

279
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: guy you want. There's no one else on the Cardinals

280
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: you would want out there other than Kyler Murray. You

281
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: give him the joystick and you get out of the way.

282
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: You let the man's little fingers work its magic. Okay,

283
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: that's what your doubt. Now if you actually want to

284
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: win football games, that's something of you. But now again,

285
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: Call of Duty tournament thumbs of blazing there for Kyler

286
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: Head said on NFL Team No, no, you knew right away.

287
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: This is one of the rare deals where the team

288
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: signed the player to the extension and immediately had buyer's remorse.

289
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 5: Like, what did we do? Holy f why did we

290
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 5: do that?

291
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: You knew they signed the wrong player when they had

292
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: to put a clause in there to actually do your

293
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: job and watch film, and then they had to take

294
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: it out because he was so embarrassed. He got called

295
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: out on being a terrible employee. Little Kyler Murray there,

296
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: So you look at it is like Brissett, he's not

297
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: very good. However, he's the adult in the room, and

298
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: I appear they want that. He's got a bunch of

299
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: mole and warts. Jacoby Brissett. You're not going to go

300
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: anywhere with him as quarterback. He's limited, his arm's not

301
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: that great. He's been around a lot of miles on

302
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: the odometer for Jacoby Brissett. But he does show up

303
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: on time, and he knows the offense, he can command

304
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: the huddle, all that stuff, and he does not need

305
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: juice boxes in between a series of offense. In practice, they

306
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: don't need to give him a juice box and some

307
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: orange slices.

308
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 5: He's okay. So that's there. Is that. That's good.

309
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: Still hard to get all tingley the idea that Jacoby

310
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: Brissett will take over as the quarterback there and another

311
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: one of these guys talked about Brian Schottenheimer being a

312
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: seat filler. Well, if Brissett is the guy, he would

313
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: be the personification of a seat filler there and the Cardinals.

314
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: It's really difficult to get a great read on any

315
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: of this because the Dallas Cowboys defense, you know, like

316
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: the some teams drive luxury buses to the stadium. For

317
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: some reason, the Cowboys ride the short bus.

318
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 5: I don't know why. They take the short bust there.

319
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: And so we're not gonna pretend this is some kind

320
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: of great accomplishment by the Cardinals. I mean, I didn't

321
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: think they were gonna play that well. I thought at

322
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: least the Cowboys offense would be able to do stuff

323
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: they didn't in this game. Nevertheless, back to the point,

324
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: just to put the ball on this, so Aikman and

325
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: Buck again, they're made men football elite, elite media mafia

326
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: of the NFL, the media mafia. They're in that inner circle,

327
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: all right, those top level guys. They get all the goodies,

328
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: all the goodies here, So they're not gonna just drop

329
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: a nugget like that on national team. I don't think

330
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: that's random. I believe that is a dead giveaway.

331
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 5: That's a tell. That is a tel.

332
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: The Cardinals are quietly moving off the Kyler Murray fantasy

333
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: and they're settling in to the mud with Jacoby Brissett

334
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: adult supervision until they get some other dabbroni next season. Now,

335
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: the trade deadline is today. Wouldn't it be wild if

336
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: the Cardinals sat out Kyler Murray to trade him? Where

337
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: would they trade him? The Saints? Like that's the only

338
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: obvious destination at this point, Like the Saints are terrible,

339
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: worst team since nineteen eighty.

340
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 5: They don't have a quarterback and they got money to burn.

341
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: Uh, they can move some numbers around, make make it

342
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: work if salary caps fugazy anyway, all right, last word.

343
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 5: Back to that Cowboys. Back to the Cowboys.

344
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: So following the latest ass whooping at the hands of

345
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: the opponent, in case this case Arizona low the Arizona

346
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 1: Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, as he often does, gave a

347
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: State of the Cowboys address postgame, and he said the

348
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: money quote here, and he said a lot the one

349
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 1: that stood out to me that I'd like to share

350
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: with you right now. Jerry Jones said, quote, I like

351
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: our nuts and bolts. I don't like what's happening to

352
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: our nuts and bolts though. Close quote from Jerry Jones.

353
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: So question, can you decode what Jerry Jones means when

354
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: he says he likes the Cowboys nuts and bolts?

355
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 5: All right? So yeah, all right, nah? Using the mallar.

356
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:09,959
Speaker 1: Rosetta stone, the mallor Rosetta stone translation translation, Jerry taking

357
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: time for a modest flex. Modest flex in front of

358
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: the mirror. In front of the mirror. Now, Jerry's not

359
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: blaming himself he's definitely not blaming himself on this. In fact,

360
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: he's braggadocious. He's bragging about the shopping list. He's like, man,

361
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: am I a great gm Look at the town, the

362
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: nuts and bolts.

363
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 5: That's me. I did that. I did that.

364
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: That's my team. I put that team together. He's essentially saying, Hey,

365
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: I'm broad amazing ingredients into the kitchen. These are such

366
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: great ingredients. Unfortunately the chef can't cook. I know I

367
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: hired him too, but he can't cook with my delicious ingredients.

368
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 5: What are we doing?

369
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: Jerry thinks he's like Gordon Ramsey wearing a ten gallon

370
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: hat and looking for gloryhole.

371
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 5: Right.

372
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: And the roster in Jerry's head is a Michelin Star roster.

373
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: It's a menu of Michelin Star for wagou beef, truffle, oil,

374
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 1: all that stuff, all the fix and all the trimmings

375
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: and all that. And what comes out of the kitchen

376
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: for the cowboys is a microwaved hot pocket. That's what

377
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: comes out of the kitchen, a sou flea that is

378
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: collapsing on a weekly basis there and it's burning in

379
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 1: the oven. And Brian Schottenheimer, the coach, there is arguing

380
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: with the smoke alarm, saying it's not my fault. It's

381
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: not burning, it's the smoke alarm that's malfunctioning. I would

382
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 1: not burn this food at all. And it's a classic

383
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones humble brag. It's like I am the GM

384
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: and I am a genius. Look at those players, they're

385
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: just not executing. They're underachieving. But it's not because of me.

386
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: No no no, they're underachievers. But not because of Mete No, no,

387
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: no no. Jerry loves the nuts and the She loves

388
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: the nuts and the ball. She just putting an actual

389
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: winning football team on the field. Eh. The blueprint though,

390
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: is there solid blueprint? It's the contractor that's the problem.

391
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: You got a bad contractor. They don't know what they're doing.

00:23:55,640 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: hour though from baseball. Baseball, No baseball. The season ended

439
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Why would you talk baseball? What are

440
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: you stupid?

441
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 2: No?

442
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 5: Let me explain.

443
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: So the post mortem on the World Series here to

444
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: the winner goes a parade an a rally. You get

445
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: a parade and a rally. That's how that goes there.

446
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: So after winning Game seven in a l Classico in

447
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: Toronto the World Series, the Dodgers made their way back

448
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 1: in their luxury planes. They made their way back to

449
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: la and the Boys in Blue were serenaded with flowers

450
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: and songs.

451
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 5: And they just everyone loved them.

452
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: A cacophony of goodness for the Dodgers there as they

453
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: returned to the People's Republic of California for a big

454
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: celebration and a championship parade and rally for the ages.

455
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 1: So if you didn't watch any of this, why would

456
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: you if you're not a Dodger fan. I even I

457
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: find this a little annoying, but I did check some

458
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: of it out for talk show.

459
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 5: Reasons, for talk show reasons.

460
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 9: Uh.

461
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 5: And Dave Roberts, good old Dave, some of this stuff

462
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 5: was so corny. It was so oh so bad.

463
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: Anyway, Dave Roberts tossed out a word and it involved

464
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 1: the number and a word, and it was kind of

465
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: the theme. You had sho Hel Tani deliver a speech

466
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 1: in English. He was not the only one who did that,

467
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: and the crowd went wild. They sold out crowd at

468
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium there. That concluded with Otani saying that he

469
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: was ready to get another ring, but Dave Roberts talking

470
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: about what the mission is now for the Dodgers.

471
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 5: Let's go to the audio tape. Take a listen.

472
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 9: I talked, you have to fail on the plane, and

473
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 9: he gave me the okay to use this phrase, pat Riley, let's.

474
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 5: Go to the too.

475
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,959
Speaker 1: Okay, there you go. So how can the Dodgers three

476
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 1: people when they've already ruined baseball? I don't understand anyway,

477
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: So there you go. Let's discuss. That's a good jumping

478
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: off point. We'll talk about what Dave Roberts said there,

479
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: and the crowd went wild. So question, what did you

480
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: take away from the chatter that Dave Roberts? You threw

481
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: it out there, the Dodger chatter from Dave Roberts about

482
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: a three P all right, So I've got alphabet, pasta

483
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: atomic and tuna fish sandwich, and we will combine all

484
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: of these things together and we're gonna make your Babushka's

485
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: favorite buttered popcorn, the kind of buttered popcord your Babushka

486
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: just loves.

487
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can't get enough of it. So number I said, number?

488
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: Why?

489
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 5: Yes? All right?

490
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: The Dodgers held this event was the word gods event, right,

491
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: we are the gods of baseball. It was that was

492
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: that kind of I love that Roberts worked in a

493
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 1: humble brag. Also, we talked last hour about Jerry Jones

494
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: humble bragging.

495
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 7: Well.

496
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts say, oh, I was on the phone with

497
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: pat Riley.

498
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 5: Of course.

499
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 1: The funny thing about that is Riley's so old at

500
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 1: this point. The younger generations don't even know who pat

501
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: Riley is, right, I don't know.

502
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 2: Who that is.

503
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: I wasn't around for the showtime Lakers. That's a boomer.

504
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: You're friends with a boomer, Dave Roberts, what's wrong with you?

505
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: But the whole theme was that we are gods. We

506
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 1: are the gods of baseball. And it was like the

507
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 1: full Gladiator You know that famous scene from Gladiator?

508
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 5: Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained? Yeah?

509
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 1: It was that kind of it. So the whole free

510
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: peat thing, like what are you supposed to say? Like

511
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: these things are always corny and over the top anytime

512
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: a team wins.

513
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 5: A championship, Like, what are you seriously supposed to say?

514
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if Dave Roberts had come out and saying,

515
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 1: let me tell you boys, we've won enough championship.

516
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 5: My belly is full. I am from all the bling, bling.

517
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: Bloated, blooded, blooded blood, blooded blood, it blurred, it blowed

518
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: it blooded. All right, My belly is so frickin full,

519
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: I can't even anymore. No, you can't say that, right,

520
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: you meagine? Oh, I ate so much alphabet pasta, all

521
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: those ws w.

522
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 5: W dob, I got no room left, no room left.

523
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 5: Can't win.

524
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: We're good now, We're satisfied. Can't do it, can't say it,

525
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: You can never be satisfied. So the whole idea that

526
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: you enjoyed the moment and just live in the moment.

527
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: None of those guys were living in the mallment. They

528
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: were already planning for next year. So it's okay, shouldn't

529
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: you just embrace that particular day and just celebrate that

530
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: day and then you worry about next year at a

531
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: later point. But no, the champagne had not even dried

532
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: on the carpet there in Toronto, and they're already campaigning

533
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: and planning their parade route or root for next year.

534
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: And the Dodgers have turned this in. It's like the

535
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: Harlem Globe trotters versus the Washington generals the way they're

536
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: playing here, and they've got the payroll receipts, the billion

537
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: dollar boy Boys Club and all that stuff. Then yet

538
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: we mentioned shoey Otani, who gave the crowd his I'm

539
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: ready for another ring line from O'tani. It was his

540
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: quote there. He said it in English, mind you, he

541
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: said it in English, and the fans of course lost

542
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: their mind Q the fireworks. There was then the choreographed

543
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: moment with Dave Roberts needing to bring in the other trophies.

544
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 5: So who did he call? Ice Cube?

545
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: He brought in not an actual ice Cube, ice Cube,

546
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: the you know, the old guy, Yeah, the rapper, Yeah,

547
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: I uh, not really a rapper anymore.

548
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 5: He's like a businessman anyway.

549
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: I ice Cube brought in in a muscle car the

550
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: Dodger World Series trophy from center field. Not planned at all,

551
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: very organic, moment just happened. It was very odd that

552
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: ice Cube just happened to be in his car with

553
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: the World Series trophy in center field the moment Dave

554
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: Roberts needed the trophy.

555
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 5: What are the odds?

556
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 2: Like?

557
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 5: Ice Cube was just bored.

558
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: He was driving around Dodger Stadium and he just happened

559
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: to be stopped out in center field at Dodger Stadium,

560
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: and at that moment he must have known that Dave

561
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: Roberts needed the trophy, so he say, okay, I'll drive

562
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: it in, no problem. And then security they opened the

563
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: gate and they allowed ice Cube, in a totally organic,

564
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: not scripted mallet at all, to drive it in. Simply amazing.

565
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: The fireworks went off, the muscle car came in there

566
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: and there it was no it's Dodger fan porn. That's

567
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: what it was, all of it, total fan porn, porn, porn, porn,

568
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: porn porn, that's what it was. The speech is everything choreographed,

569
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: all that stuff. We're a dynasty baby by Keith k Hernandez.

570
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: He's right, by the way, they are dynasty, and it's

571
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: this is you know what this is for the Dodgers.

572
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: It is the Gilded Age. It is the gilded age

573
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers. At some point, this ownership group's going

574
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: to sell the team. Once they have to pay a

575
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: Tony's seventy million dollars a year not to play baseball,

576
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: whatever it is, they'll sell the team and some other

577
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: dope will come in and talk about well, we need

578
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: to reset the franchise, and well, we're gonna build through

579
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: the minor league system and the team will suck. But

580
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: until that happens, it is the Gilded Age for the Dodgers.

581
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: Everyone's coddled, everyone's pampered and spoiled. Who plays for the

582
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: Dodgers there from their toilets that shoot, you took us

583
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: with water to the two jumbo jet planes and all

584
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: that stuff. And you watch what's going on right now

585
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: and how loaded the roster is, and they're going to

586
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: annoy everyone and sign somebody else.

587
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 5: In free agency. Again, that's what they do. The Dodgers

588
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 5: are so good.

589
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: They signed two of the worst players in baseball, Michael

590
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: Conforto and he was one of them and Tanner Scott

591
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: the other, and still ended up winning the World Series.

592
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 5: Still ended up winning the World Series.

593
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: There, and you know, they had the line, the greatest

594
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: fans in the world, all that stuff, and so you

595
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: had to say that line, right. That was Miguel Rojas.

596
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: I believe that was his line. I think he said

597
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: that he praised his teammate. It's not all about me,

598
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: that whole thing. So you had those and even the interpreters,

599
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: as mentioned these guys might be out of work here

600
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: because once you've exposed the fact that you speak English,

601
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: does it become a problem now, because those interpreters probably

602
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: make ninety thousand dollars a year to travel around.

603
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 5: With these guys.

604
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: And you had both Yamamoto and shohel Tani who went

605
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: full English at the event, both of them. So there

606
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: you go. They're they're so dominant, they're now bilingual. So

607
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: congratulations on that. And that's how the empire rolls on

608
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: in Dodger Blue. It was a coronation situation and a

609
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: reminder the Dodgers have become a modern If they were

610
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: a rock band, they'd be like the Beatles back in

611
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: the day. At this point, now, the rest of Major

612
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: League Baseball, if you look around the landscape of Major

613
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: League Baseball, they're just like an opening act, hoping, hoping,

614
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: beyond hope. Here to grab a souvenir on the way out. Yeah,

615
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Now, turning the page, but not

616
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: turning the page too far. Page two.

617
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 5: TV Land. We go to TV Land, You and I and.

618
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: The question what do the twenty twenty five World Series ratings,

619
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: which were very good, very good, involving.

620
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 5: The Dodgers in Blue Jays tell us.

621
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: So the ratings came out, and turns out despite having

622
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: a Canadian team in which supposedly is gonna be a

623
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: Debbie downer and the ratings wouldn't be that good and

624
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: no one's gonna watch, And well, turned out that just

625
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: wasn't true. People watch and apparently the Dodgers. Of what

626
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: I took away from the TV ratings is apparently the

627
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: Dodgers are not ruining baseball after all. Shocking talk about

628
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: a narrative buster. The Dodgers are killing baseball, said the

629
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: guy on social media that calls sports talk radio and

630
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Twenty If I read this right, twenty

631
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: six million people. Twenty six million people tuned into Game

632
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: seven of the World Series. Now that's not just good.

633
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: That's massive in modern television. Bag in the old days

634
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 1: they got bigger ratings. But in modern with the cannibalism

635
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: of entertainment where everything's chopped up into little, bite sized pieces,

636
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: you get twenty six million people to watch baseball games.

637
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: Pretty good, most watched World Series game since twenty seventeen.

638
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: You might remember that one the Dodgers were in that

639
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: World Series against the cheating astros. Yeah, bang bang on

640
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: the trash can cheat a cheata chea cheata cheatah cheeta. Meanwhile,

641
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: social media, you guys on social media told me. You said, listen,

642
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: everyone and their mother hate the billionaire boys club, that

643
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: is the Dodgers. Cannot stand the Dodgers. They're bad for baseball.

644
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: You're running the Sparta baseball, the Dodgers, You're running it.

645
00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 1: I thought Sho, Hail Tani and Mookie Betts were supposed

646
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:01,439
Speaker 1: to make you tune out.

647
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 5: You told me that, that's what you told me.

648
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:08,240
Speaker 1: You told me that people were not gonna watch because

649
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: of the Dodger payroll. Turns out America still loves watching

650
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: the rich kids. Now were they tuned in to watch

651
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:20,479
Speaker 1: the Dodgers lose? It doesn't matter. They watched twenty six

652
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: million men, women and children tuned in to watch the

653
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: World Series. And that is not a niche sport. That

654
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: is an event, that is a massive event.

655
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 5: And up in.

656
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 1: Canada, the numbers from the people that Rogers they pulled

657
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,800
Speaker 1: record ratings the channel that carried the World Series in Canada,

658
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: and they estimate that nearly half of all Canadians, almost

659
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: fifty percent of all Canadians that have access to television,

660
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: watched at least part of Game seven of the world.

661
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 5: Seriest Deep Pritt deep, pretty deep good. Half the fricking

662
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 5: country was watching.

663
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: Uh so so much for the Dodgers are bad for

664
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: baseball narrative. Oh it's so bad. The social media echo chamber.

665
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:07,800
Speaker 1: A reminder for those of you in the back of

666
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: the room, the social media echo chamber is not real.

667
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:12,240
Speaker 5: It just isn't.

668
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: X thinks everyone's boycotting these big market teams like the

669
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: Dodgers and all this stuff, and there you go. It

670
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: turns out not the case. In fact, the Dodgers are

671
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: actually good for baseball as the bad guys, as the villain.

672
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: And if you study entertainment, if you study professional wrestling

673
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: or just any kind of movie storyline, you look at

674
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 1: the storyboard. You have the good guy and the bad guy,

675
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: and you gotta have it. And the Dodgers have star power.

676
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: Check that box. They've got that big market, a lot

677
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: of drama. You had some drama there, and so reports

678
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: of Baseball's to mice have been greatly exaggerated.

679
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 5: That's what I'm trying to.

680
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: Say, that who knew, who knew? The ratings, the villains,

681
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, the big blue, bad guys. They got flash

682
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: and they got the finish and all that stuff. So

683
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: the Dodgers delivered a little bit of this, a little

684
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: bit of that, and all work together. And Baseball's problem,

685
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,240
Speaker 1: it turns out, is not the Dodgers. It's not the Dodgers.

686
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 1: It's the twenty other teams pretending to be on a budget.

687
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: That's a problem. That's a big problem. Dodgers are keeping

688
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: the lights on and they're actually the good guys here,

689
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: which is very odd considering everyone told me they're not

690
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: all right now. Final point, speaking of that, we'll use

691
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,959
Speaker 1: that as a jumping off point for our next next

692
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 1: conversation point.

693
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 5: So there is this chatter.

694
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 1: I mentioned this in a previous episode of the show,

695
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of chatter that we're gonna have

696
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: a nuclear winter in baseball. There's gonna be a workstopage,

697
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: either be a lockout or a strike, and there's not

698
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: gonna be baseball playing. There's can be a long long time.

699
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: They're gonna reset all the rules in baseball. This has

700
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: been the art and the marching in Shouder society. Demanding

701
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: a salary cap has been outspoken. They've been banging the drum,

702
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: bang bang, bang in the drum yet again. And the

703
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: argument is that all we need is not just a

704
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: salary cap. We need a salary floor to encourage the

705
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: teams that don't spend a lot of money to spend

706
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: more money and that will be the magic placebo that

707
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: will fix everything in the sport of baseball. You might

708
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: have heard about that. Have you heard about that? I've

709
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 1: heard about that. I've heard about that. I've heard about

710
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: this for years. They've said this disparity in baseball, the

711
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 1: Dodgers spending too much, they spend too much, in the

712
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 1: A's don't spend any money, and we need to have

713
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: more balanced than all that. So the question on this

714
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: one would a salary cap and a salary floor motivate?

715
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: In this case the salary cap floor, would it motivate

716
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: the penny pinching major League Baseball franchises to spend more,

717
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: thus fixing the disparity in payroll between the top five

718
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: or six teams and everyone else in baseball.

719
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 5: So this is one of those ideas. There's a lot

720
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 5: of this in life.

721
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: As you get older, you realize there's things in life

722
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: that's sound like a good idea and it makes for

723
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: a good post on social media and you get a

724
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: lot of way to go, way to go, and then

725
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:09,760
Speaker 1: it falls apart.

726
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 5: In the real world.

727
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: It's like there's a lot of people these days that

728
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: think they should get everything free, not realizing.

729
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 5: That someone has to pay for it.

730
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 1: Right. These are called dumb people. They don't understand there's

731
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 1: nothing free. Ultimately someone's paying for it, right, Like our

732
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 1: friends in New York are probably going to find out

733
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: about that soon, that someone's going to be paying for it.

734
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, you think the Pirates, the A's, the Marlins,

735
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: and the Minnesota Twins are suddenly going to grow a

736
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: conscience and start chasing penance because there's a salary cap floor.

737
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 1: Are you that gullible? Give me a break, seriously, are

738
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: you that dumb? Yeah, but you're in for a surprise

739
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 1: if you think that's the case here. They will just

740
00:39:54,880 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: find creative ways to f around the rules. Example, the

741
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,720
Speaker 1: worst owner, most people say the worst over in sports,

742
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: this guy Bob Nutting, who he owns the Pirates.

743
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 5: Bob Nutting.

744
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: There, you think this guy's gonna wake up the day

745
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: after they put a salary cap floor in baseball and

746
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: say you know what, why don't we go out and

747
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: sign Kyle Schwarber. Now we're the Pirates, why don't we

748
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: sign Kyle Schwarber. What do you say? And we'll sign

749
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: Ranger Suarez, the top pitcher in the free agent market

750
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 1: as well. That'll go, well, no chance, there is no

751
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: chance they will. They'll What they're gonna do is they're

752
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 1: gonna do it every every team does. In a situation

753
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: where there's a salary cap floor, they are going to

754
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: add bad contracts. They will be the dumping ground. Teams

755
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: like the Pirates, will be the dumping ground for massive

756
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: bloated contracts in baseball. And what you're gonna see is

757
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: teams like the Dodgers will use the A's example, Like

758
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 1: the Dodgers will call the Athletics up and say, hey,

759
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: we got this guy Tanners Scott.

760
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 5: He's a dog with fleas.

761
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 1: The guy's terrible, and we want to get rid of

762
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: his contract because the salary cap. So what you guys

763
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: are you're not even at the floor yet, So why

764
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: don't we send him and we'll put we'll throw in

765
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 1: some lottery ticket and we'll send him to the Athletics.

766
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: And then you just give us back like, you know,

767
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: some low level minor league pitcher and then that's it,

768
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: and and that's what the top teams are going to do,

769
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 1: I promise you. How do I know that I've seen

770
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: it in other sports? Right, He's like, well, I will

771
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: send you a prospect attached to the veteran player and

772
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: all that stuff boom, you meet the salary cap for

773
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: It's creative accounting. It's creative accounting, that's all. It's not

774
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 1: winning baseball. It's bookkeeping. It's baseball bookkeeping. And you know,

775
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 1: the Phillies will trade Aaron Nola, who's washed up or

776
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 1: certainly was this past season, the starting pitcher. They'll trade

777
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: him to the Pirates for a half eaten tuna fish

778
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: sandwich and a half eaten bag of chips and a

779
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: handshake and a smile.

780
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 5: That's what they'll do. And it's just cap compliance.

781
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: Cosplay is all it is at that particular point. And

782
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: I remember back in the day the Clippers, back before

783
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: they were purchased by Steve Balmer, when Stirling owned the team,

784
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: right before the season, they traded for a couple of

785
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: veteran players and I was like, wow, the Clippers are

786
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: trying to improve the roster. No, no, no, they were

787
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 1: so far there was like a salary cap minimum you

788
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: had to spend in the NBA, and I don't know

789
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 1: if they still have that.

790
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 5: I think they do.

791
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: But the Clippers traded because they traded for these two contracts,

792
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: they didn't even have them on the roster, just so

793
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,320
Speaker 1: they could be compliant with the low end of the payroll.

794
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: That's it. And so the teams will make phony trades.

795
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 1: You'll see a lot of phony trades just to check

796
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: the box. What's in the box? Phony trade, same playbook,

797
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: same playbook. So MLB teams are the teams that aren't

798
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: trying to compete, are going to continue not trying to compete.

799
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 1: They love the food snamps. They can't get enough of

800
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 1: the food snamps. They're those snap benefits for billionaires are

801
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: just snap. But the snap so good. And if you

802
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 1: think the floor forces effort, if you think that's going

803
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 1: to force these teams to try to win, you to

804
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 1: read a book or something like that, learn a little

805
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: bit about life.

806
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maler

809
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,479
Speaker 5: is one big Ben gets great.

810
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 10: Right ahead of the Cardinals Monday night football matchup against

811
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 10: the Cowboys, Mike Florio reported that, well, Kyler Murray won't

812
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 10: be going anywhere before the trade deadline this year after

813
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 10: the season, the trade is not only a possibility but likely, Ben,

814
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 10: Do you think that'll be the case?

815
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, if they can find a team dumbenof to take

816
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: a guy that doesn't like playing football and would rather

817
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 1: be a video gamer off their hands, absolutely they will

818
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: trade Kyler Murray. No, they would have traded him two

819
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: years ago if they could have. There's no one dumb

820
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: enough to take his kind of the only stupid team

821
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: to take this guy's to Cardinals.

822
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,320
Speaker 5: They gotta find somebody dumber than them next.

823
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 10: Matthew Stafford has won a Super Bowl, is all over

824
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 10: the record books, but he lacks individual accolades. However, some

825
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 10: analysts think that he needs to be considered for MVP

826
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:09,720
Speaker 10: this season.

827
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 11: What do you think, Ben?

828
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:12,399
Speaker 1: All Right, So, first of all, I don't think there's

829
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 1: anyone who's the MVP right now. It's like to me,

830
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: it's wide open. Nobody's established himself. That's the first thing.

831
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,919
Speaker 1: Stafford's been great. I thought he was gonna be done.

832
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: Is back was all messed up. I'm shocked that he's

833
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: played as well as he has. I didn't have that

834
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 1: on my Bengo card. I don't he's been good. I

835
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 1: don't think he's MVP good though.

836
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 10: Next a little over a week ago, we talked about

837
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 10: how Jimbo Fisher wants to return to coaching, but that

838
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 10: he will be picky about his opportunities. Now his name

839
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 10: is being floated as a potential higher for Auburn, then

840
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 10: you think that would be a good fit for Fisher.

841
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 1: No, he's already won the lottery from Texas A and M.

842
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: Why but just enjoy your life? What are you doing?

843
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 1: Why even bother coaching? Unless he can embezzle some more

844
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 1: money out of Auburn and they'll pay him.

845
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 5: A lot of money. But it's it's not a great

846
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,120
