00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,840

Speaker 1: biggest stories in pop culture and sports are mid week

47
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: or major spots. Getting ready for that. But the biggest

48
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: story rich it isn't Fernando, It isn't anything football related,

49
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: not yet. It has nothing to do with dissing your

50
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: own fans, because there's a story we're gonna get to you.

51
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk what about ungrateful, ungrateful Lebron. We're gonna

52
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: talk ungrateful Lebron. But the biggest, or at least to

53
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: me and my friends. Oh, you're the new Field. Good story,

54
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 1: stitty stity is the story or is it not? We'll

55
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: figure it out. Oh Kyle Tucker's press conference, Well that

56
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: was big too, but you're getting close.

57
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 2: Oh, Boba Schett saying how he's ready to play in

58
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: front of the New York fans and city Field has

59
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 2: always been his favorite road warmer and warmer.

60
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: It's not Louise Robert Junior either to the Mets, even

61
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: though big story, the biggest story at least right now

62
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: according to me and my New York friends. Oh, Taylor

63
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: Shift's text messages came out. No, that's a big story though,

64
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: are you.

65
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry. Beckham's kid doesn't want to talk to him.

66
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: No, but man drama and the Beckham household.

67
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 3: Mike McDaniel finalizing as OC deal with the Chargers.

68
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, two forty nine er coaches together now for the Chargers.

69
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: No, but from different regimes now, none of them wrong one.

70
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: Oh you're gonna tell me about Bellinger? Dude, this is it.

71
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: This is the final piece. It dropped. It's on, as

72
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: Corn said in the early two thousands, it's on so on,

73
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: like John Chilbo.

74
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put you on a four minute timer for this.

75
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: It's on like John paplebon eaton FLN with Bishop don

76
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: Magic wand with Michelle Kwan watching The Wrath of KHN

77
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: starring Ricardo Montalban. That's how on it is. I'm so

78
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: glad you didn't. I'm so glad you didn't say Donkey

79
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: Kong because it never rhyns when people say it's on

80
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: like Donkey Kong. I'm like on and Kong don't run.

81
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: That's why I did my own version. That was a

82
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: little long, but I did my own. Cody Bellinger, you

83
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: heard dB five years, Remember he wanted seven years, So

84
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: the Yankees won there five years one sixty two reasonable.

85
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: That's thirty two to thirty three million a year for

86
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: a five tool guy that's already proven he could play

87
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: in New York. He had a two seventy two to

88
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: twenty nine dongs.

89
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: Would you say it's so on that he's going to

90
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 2: continue to play with Carlos Odon. Yes, twenty nine home runs,

91
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 2: ninety eight RBI, just fell short of thirty and one hundred,

92
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 2: had one hundred and sixty hits. But again, five tool

93
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: gold glover anywhere you put him, and he really is

94
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: a difference maker with judging the lineup, protecting him and

95
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 2: just you know, a smart base runner, a great fielder,

96
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 2: just an all around great ballplayer. And if he didn't

97
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: end up on the Yankees, dude, they're not competing, simple

98
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 2: as that.

99
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: That's why it was such a big deal. Mets are

100
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: competing Yankees if they didn't get him, not competing, Red

101
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: Sox competing Phillies competing, even maybe the Orioles competing, Blue

102
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,119
Speaker 1: Jay's competing. The Dodgers are the team to beat because

103
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: all one's beating them unless they make moves like this

104
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: the Pods. Yeah, but the Yankees were out without this, dude,

105
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: Trust me on that. Trust me because Judge and Grisham.

106
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: Judge can't do it by himself. You need a guy

107
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: like Bellinger on the team. And I can't wait because

108
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: he needed that that you needed that. Well, got Garrett

109
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: Cole coming back, but that was a pretty big deal.

110
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: Last minute. He had the world and the baseball fans

111
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: on the edge of our seat waiting to see where

112
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: he went. Where he went, because if he did end

113
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: up on your Mets, Rich or maybe the Phillies or

114
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: something like that, big time difference maker.

115
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 2: I agree one hundred percent. In fact, I love these

116
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: baseball moves. And you could say, well, of course you guys,

117
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 2: do you root for teams that make moves? And I

118
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: do think that we are going to look at some

119
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: changes in baseball. I don't know how it's gonna happen,

120
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 2: but you see so many people say, well you'll see,

121
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 2: you know, in a year or so, we're gonna be

122
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 2: talking about salary caps, salary floors, restructuring a.

123
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: Bright harp or not hearing that. Remember he spoke out

124
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: against that.

125
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 2: Well, didn't he tell the didn't he tell like the

126
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 2: commissioner of baseball to like get the f out of

127
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 2: his face?

128
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 4: And the locker room he said, he said, stop being

129
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 4: big sports babies.

130
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had something to say. He was not feeling that. Yeah,

131
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: a lot of rumbling about my own way. Didn't he

132
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: close line? Rob Manfred? I think he did. He said

133
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: speak to the hand. Yeah, I might have said that.

134
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: I think he said something like that. And then he

135
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: slapped them. Oh you know he said, oh, Manford, what

136
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: are the five figures say to the faith? Something like that.

137
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: That's what happened, all right. So again bell Inger to

138
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: the Yankees. He states, in the Yankee organization, playing all

139
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: parts of the outfield, in first base, and I like

140
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: the family lineage. Yankee fans embraced him because his dad

141
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: played for the Yankees. You say that, I feel like,

142
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: what do you mean? That's absolutely fact?

143
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: No, But I'm saying he's got a nice right field porch.

144
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: He fit in with that team. Yeah, they loved him.

145
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: He doesn't be he's not affected by the pressure of

146
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,679
Speaker 2: playing in a big city. He played for the Dodgers,

147
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 2: he played for the Yanks. Now, I wonder how much

148
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: it does matter to him that dad played there too.

149
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: He means a lots his dad. Why wouldn't it matter.

150
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 2: It was a part of the story. He's like, Oh,

151
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: that's nice. His dad played there, just like Ryan Weathers.

152
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 2: His dad, David Weathers, was a champion with the Yanks.

153
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: People love stuff like that. It's familiarity. It's like, hey,

154
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 2: we rooted for his dad. That's awesome.

155
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: And you don't think as a kid he knew his

156
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: dad was a World Series champion with the Yankees. Clay

157
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: Bellinger was part of the winning team. Well, I don't see.

158
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: I didn't see Boba Schett anxious to play for the Rockies.

159
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: I mean, the Rockies are not the day. I mean

160
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: the Yanks. But you know, and in other news, Rich,

161
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: it is a big move that your Mets got Louise

162
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,119
Speaker 1: Robert Jr. Has a pretty solid move from the White Sox.

163
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: But once that happened, it felt to me that writing

164
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: was on the wall and it set for a good time.

165
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: Called Rich Davis and it said the Yankees are at

166
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: Bellinger and it was announced shortly after. So Louise Robert

167
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: Junior from the White Sox to the Mets playing center field.

168
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: That's another big pick up. And as Danny g mentioned today,

169
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: the other story in the world of baseball is Kyle

170
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: Tucker and his press conference, and Dodgers fans are hyped

171
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: as they should be. I saw the meme, Well, there

172
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: would be more of a little giff, I guess after

173
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: the Mets did sign Louise Robert Jr. It's Jeff, but

174
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: continue is a gift for Jeff bro It's twenty twenty six.

175
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: It's Jeff. Choosy moms choose Jeff, not Giff. It is Jeff.

176
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,599
Speaker 5: We were told though it was Giff. But then the

177
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 5: guy who created the Jeff said it's Jeff. So it's

178
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 5: back and forth, back and forth. What snipsnaps.

179
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: It's like when you put a USB in, it's like

180
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: it's right, it's wrong, and then it's right again.

181
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 2: No, but every time you try, it's always wrong. Without film,

182
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 2: Why do you arrogantly shake your ice coffee again?

183
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: And so it's says the guy that can't help himself

184
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: but point out anytime I stumble over there can't help

185
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: recreate it. It's cheff, but continue.

186
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 4: He also says, by the way, Tyrodd, it's it is,

187
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 4: it's no, but we still say Tyrod. It's just like

188
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 4: how it's still Staperjon Robinson, all right, I say gift

189
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 4: to I just wanted to point.

190
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: We've been programmed to say gift. But it's the you know why,

191
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: because it's the Coveno and Rich show. And then it

192
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: looks like we're both idiots. If someone doesn't correct that

193
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: is true, people assume we're idiots.

194
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 2: The Jeff I saw it was coach Signetti and it's

195
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 2: it's the minute the Mets sign Luis Robert Junior Yankee fans,

196
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: and it's you know, when Signetti's got that peaking look

197
00:09:58,600 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 2: where he's like, huh yeah.

198
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 1: Because in other words, guys, if the Mets signed Luise

199
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: Robert Junior.

200
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: There was a sentiment that maybe that means they're out

201
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 2: of Bellinger exactly.

202
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: It's unlikely that they're also going to pick up Bellinger.

203
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, it happened. We're excited, and it just makes baseball,

204
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: which is being highly criticized right now. Like you said,

205
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: baseball is a salary cup, and maybe it does I'm

206
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: just not one of those guys crying about it. It

207
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: makes it more competitive, it evens things out a little bit. Well,

208
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: I'll be the first to say, because nobody's with the

209
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: Dodgers if you don't make these solid moves, I'll be

210
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: the first to say. Much like anything in life, you

211
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: don't cry about it until it affects you. Like I'm

212
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: a Mets fan, so I'm like, my owner spends money. Well,

213
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: what you guys crying? Yeah, Danny's not crying. He's a

214
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: Dodgers fan. You're not crying. You're a Yankees fan. Now.

215
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: If you talk to like our Buddy Mauser and Cincinnati

216
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: who this morning, He's like, yeah, be a Reds fan.

217
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: We made the playoffs. You know, we had some momentum.

218
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: They won eighty some of the games, and then you know,

219
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: do you think they're going to make it back? No,

220
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: because a team like that can't and doesn't make moves

221
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: because of money. You know, if you're rooting for the

222
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: Marlins or you're rooting for, you know, a team that

223
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: doesn't have the funds. If you're a Tampa Bay Rays

224
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: fan and you're like, you know, they always find way

225
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: to put together a young exciting team, but then they

226
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: are busted apart. What is the answer, Danny g from

227
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: what do you think? Do you think in a year

228
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: or so when they were thirty years too late to

229
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: establish a salary captain bin?

230
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 2: But I would hate to see a holdout or a

231
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 2: strike really affect baseball because it took a long time

232
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 2: from ninety four for people to come back to loving baseball.

233
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: And baseball's popping right now, so it's.

234
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 3: In a good place.

235
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 4: And this morning I told you guys about how I

236
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 4: heard Colin do a great segment on this salary floor

237
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 4: slash salary cap. And we'll get to that in a moment.

238
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 4: Here I'm calling it up. He did a whole big

239
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 4: segment on it. I condensed it down to his main

240
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 4: thoughts and two misses.

241
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: Colin get really angry if someone wears their salary cap backwards.

242
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: That's such a question. Yeah, ask him about that. Stars.

243
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 4: He makes a great point about the smaller market team.

244
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 4: So I want you guys to hear that.

245
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: I can't wait. Damn fire, don't don't don't laugh at

246
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: his dunk, don't.

247
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 6: He's on fire. He is, like if he does in

248
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 6: the zone, I don't even want to talk to him

249
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 6: like it's like a no hitter man.

250
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: Because Bellinger is a Yankee dude. I was nervous about

251
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: this because I'm like, it's it's a it's a bunks

252
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: season if he's not on the team, Like they're not

253
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: going anywhere without this dude. I would say eating without

254
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: this dude. So in order for me to be excited

255
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: about baseball coming up, the Yankees needed Bellinger. They got him.

256
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 2: I will say, it's a it is cool to be

257
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: around one of your buds, even if it doesn't benefit you.

258
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: It is cool to be around one of your friends

259
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 2: when their team acquires a big player or loses a

260
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 2: big player, because you get to watch their reaction.

261
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: And I was. I was with Kabino this morning when

262
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: the Bellinger announcement was made, and you know it is

263
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 1: it is even though I'm not a Yankees guy. It's

264
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: more of a relief, like who yeah, all right, cool,

265
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: all right, good? We could we could breathe down get

266
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: and even before that, guys, something else to be more

267
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: excited about is the World Baseball Classic. Every few days

268
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: you hear someone new is playing or not playing, and

269
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's gonna be really competitive and

270
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: exciting this year, and that starts in March, so we're

271
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: gonna get some actual competitive baseball early March with the WBC.

272
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: Now the question is based on the Dodgers and who

273
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: can actually compete in these final moves being made. There's

274
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: a lot of rumblings about a salary cap, like Baseball's

275
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: got to do something.

276
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 2: Salary cap and a floor where you can't like you know,

277
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: I mean, it sounds obvious, but for people that might

278
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: not understand salary cap meaning like there's a limit to spend.

279
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: But then when they say salary floor, some of these

280
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 2: cheap billionaire owners that don't want to spend any money,

281
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 2: they have to spend a certain amount. So maybe you're

282
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 2: essentially making a pocket of money like minimum spend this,

283
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 2: maximum spend this, because right now there could be a

284
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 2: team of a five hundred million dollar salary you know,

285
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: you know, a payroll, and they could be a team

286
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: with a fifty million dollar payroll and that's not right.

287
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: So so Colin talked about it this morning. Danny g said,

288
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 1: we got to hear this, but let's all listen collectively

289
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: and let's all chop it up and chime in. So

290
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: if you want a call if you have something to

291
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: say eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Earlier today,

292
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: Colin Cowherd on Fox Sports Radio.

293
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 7: I saw this quote, major League Baseball owners are enraged

294
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 7: by Kyle Tucker to the Dodgers deal. They will push

295
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 7: for a salary cap no matter what. It took a

296
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 7: Kyle Tucker move to outrage you. Cub fans complained about.

297
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: Them all year. They wanted them out of town.

298
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 7: Did you forget about the Angels spending three hundred and

299
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 7: eighty million dollars fifteen years ago or close to it

300
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 7: on Albert Poolholtz and Josh Hamilton, which if you look

301
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 7: at what that's worth today with inflation, it's five hundred

302
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 7: and forty million. That didn't bother anybody. Why cause the

303
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 7: Angels are poorly run. It didn't change out Cubs, the

304
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 7: Yankees twenty ten, the four highest paid players, check check

305
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 7: check check four Yankees four for four. They spent a

306
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 7: ton every year and a half for thirty years in

307
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 7: the last ten to fifteen. It doesn't change outcomes. That

308
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 7: doesn't bother you. The Dodgers aren't just rich, That's not it.

309
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 7: Let's keep it one hundred. They're rich and exceptionally well run.

310
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 7: That's what bothers you. One Soto Yankees, Mets didn't bother

311
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 7: you because he went to the Mets. They'll gag they're

312
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 7: the Mets. Studies have shown you can be rich and

313
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 7: unattractive or handsome and poor, and men aren't necessarily jealous

314
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 7: of you. But if you're rich and good looking, studies

315
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 7: show men hate you. And that's the Dodgers. Oh that's

316
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 7: Taoscar Hernandez. He's been available twice to the sport, and

317
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 7: your billionaire owner didn't get him at a very reasonable number.

318
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 7: Saint Louis could afford him, the Pirates. Billionaire could afford him,

319
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 7: The Mariners could afford him, Detroit could afford him, Cleveland

320
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 7: could afford him.

321
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: Baseball is in an incredible spot. Well what about the Pirates?

322
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 7: What about him? They couldn't compete when Steinbrenner ran the Yankees.

323
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 7: They haven't been good since the seventies and Willie Stargell.

324
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 7: They haven't been great consistently forever. It's not a Dodgers issue.

325
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 7: Well what about the Cardinals? Cannot for Saint Louis has

326
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 7: been dying as a city for twenty years. They've lost

327
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 7: fifteen fortune, five hundred companies in forty years, they lost

328
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 7: an NFL team. Saint Louis is dried up as a city.

329
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 7: It's Hartford with an arch. Don't blame the Dodgers for that,

330
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 7: or the Yankees for that, or Steve Cohen for that,

331
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 7: you know what.

332
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: So many great points, But what stood out to me

333
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: the most. What did he said? The Mets are gonna gag?

334
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: I take offense to that, and no, no, no, The

335
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: truest thing he said is about how how good look?

336
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: Do you see something about us being really good looking

337
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: in that clip?

338
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 7: Or now?

339
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if oh, oh, the part where.

340
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 3: You got to get rich though, to be the Dodgers.

341
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: You're still a couple of bucks to you, a couple

342
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: of bucks.

343
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 8: Shot.

344
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: Now it's going to be so hateable my next contract.

345
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. No, I'm not, Yes, i am. The

346
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: coolest point is the Pirates. The thing he said about

347
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: the Pirates, you know, fill in the blank with any

348
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: other team because the Pirates stink. Does that have anything

349
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: to do with the Dodgers. Absolutely not. The Dodgers are

350
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: well run, and not only that. The one thing he

351
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: didn't point out too is they're really likable on top

352
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: of it, we always point that out. God, you're not

353
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: even hard to hate.

354
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 3: You know that.

355
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 2: I love analogies, and you got to give it to

356
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 2: a legend when they now it his analogy of if

357
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 2: you're poor and good looking or you're rich and ugly,

358
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 2: no one cares.

359
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: But when you're both, people hate you. And that's the

360
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: Dodgers right now.

361
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: Because you're right, no one cares when Won Soto went

362
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: to the Mets because everyone assumed the metal choke the Angels.

363
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: Everyone from you know the deal they gave Otani originally

364
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: to Mike Trout to poolholes. You're right, no one cared

365
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: because the Angels stink no matter what it's. It's such

366
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: a great point. Dodgers are well run. So hate on

367
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: the organization, but it's hard to hate on the team

368
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: and the chemistry and the players. They're so good. They're

369
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: fun to watch. They're putting a good product out there,

370
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: and you could either kick screamer about that or you

371
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: yourself need to put out a better product. Did you

372
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: also and these other teams are not? Did you also

373
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 1: make note that Colin used the phrase keep it one hundred?

374
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: I did I respect Hyler respect that all right, your

375
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: thoughts that was great and your thoughts on that, thank you,

376
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: Colin Cowherd. And I completely agree with them. As far

377
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: as it's about worrying about what other people are doing.

378
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 2: They'll do something right. There will be an adjustment just

379
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 2: because because I think the perception.

380
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: For the fan will eventually be like, well, why should

381
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: I care about my team if it's going to be

382
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, this team or that team every year. I

383
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: think with college football, what happened with nil money and

384
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: the playoff, it took you away from the.

385
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 2: Idea that what is it going to be Georgia, LSU, Alabama?

386
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 2: You know, there was a couple of teams now the

387
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 2: field is wide open. A team two years ago that

388
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 2: had twelve people in the stands won a national championship

389
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 2: and have a number one pick and everyone's singing Abba.

390
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 2: You know, like things can change quick, and I think

391
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 2: there will be a time where baseball is forced. I

392
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 2: just hope it's not a holdout and a strike and

393
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 2: all this. I just hope there's some type of reasonable,

394
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 2: quick conclusion where it's like, all right, here's a salary floor,

395
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 2: a salary cap.

396
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: That's that's generous. But I think there needs to be

397
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: something done. But Collin's point is fantastic. It really is.

398
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: These teams need to focus and worry about how do

399
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: we become better. How do we run this shit better,

400
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: this franchise better. Maybe it's worrying about the diet. Maybe

401
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: it's a different percentage revshare or something. There's got to

402
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: be a way to make it make more sense. If

403
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,479
Speaker 1: some bigger market teams have wealthier TV deals, maybe there

404
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: is a little more.

405
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 2: You know, I'm a capitalist mindset, but I'm not trying

406
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 2: to sun a sports socialist.

407
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: But maybe you need to spread the wealth at a

408
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: little bit. If you're trying to have you know, thirty

409
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: teams in thirty cities.

410
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 4: And there is already in place an extra sixty million

411
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 4: that is split up and go to the smaller markets,

412
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 4: but maybe that number needs to be a little bigger.

413
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 4: But in the end, I think every team just needs

414
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 4: to run their organization better. Yeah, and worry about treating

415
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 4: your players that you have right now the best you

416
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 4: could treat them that way, you have the best intentions

417
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 4: or they have intentions of re signing with you, hopefully,

418
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 4: And I know in the end, money is going to

419
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 4: talk and is King, but hopefully, you know, you can

420
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 4: get some of your homegrown players to stay.

421
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: You know, don't shoot yourself people say in the foot,

422
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: I say in the in the ball, don't choot yourself

423
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: in the balls. Don't don't don't choo yourself in the

424
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 1: leg like your plexico bars. Don't shoot yourself by in

425
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: the foot, like Anthony Keatis in point break.

426
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 2: Because right now baseball is poppin'. We said it all

427
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 2: last year.

428
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: Ratings are up, attendance is up, kids participation, little league,

429
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: pony ball participation is up. Everything is up. Baseball's having

430
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: a really good moment.

431
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 2: World Baseball Classic, like Kevino says, is a nice little

432
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: preview to the season.

433
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: It's going to be so full. The worst thing they

434
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: could do what's the word? What's what? A mistake? Where

435
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: possibly watching happen? Right now?

436
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 2: The w NBA, Right, WNBA got some momentum, and you're like, oh,

437
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 2: they gonna are they gonna?

438
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: Like if they stopped playing, I don't know if anyone

439
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: will ever watch again. Right baseball? Baseball has history to

440
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 1: show what happened in ninety four. How many people did

441
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: it take years and years to be like all right,

442
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: I'm back because a lot of people said f you

443
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: to baseball when they did a strike in ninety four.

444
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: The only one that benefited from ninety four was Paul

445
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: O'Neill because he was the banning jampion. That's it. The

446
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: Expos had like the best. I feel bad for the

447
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: Exposes for all you know, dude, did still be a

448
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: team of Montreal if there was no strike because the

449
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: Expos could have by your done something special. It hurt

450
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: the league and a lot of people didn't come back

451
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: after that. So your thoughts on the salary cap or

452
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: like rich said the salary floor? Danny Jeeter explained that

453
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: they are spreading out some of the wealth. So are

454
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: the other teams. Their franchise is just being sports babies

455
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: calling out the Dodgers. How do you see it? What

456
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,479
Speaker 1: do you think? And the updates again. Kyle Tucker had

457
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: his press conference today. Dodgers fans are pumped Louise Robert

458
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 1: Junior from the White Sox to the Mets, solidifying their outfield.

459
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: He's playing center field most likely. And Bellinger five year,

460
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: one's sixty two thirty two million a year stays with

461
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: the Yankees. I'm reading the feedback now and Matt has

462
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: up Matt one nine nine on the YouTube chat. He goes, hey,

463
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: maybe you shouldn't be a billionaire owner if you're not

464
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: one thousand percent committed to winning, if you're not willing

465
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: to spend that money. Can't look at the team as

466
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: just one of your side investments, as a rich guy

467
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: or a rich woman, or a group or something. Even

468
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: our dude, who I disagree with a lot, Ben Verlander,

469
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: often says that it's it's just bad owners. Danny g.

470
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 1: You say that all the time. It's just bad owners.

471
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: It really is.

472
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 3: I talked about last week.

473
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 4: I talked about how McCourt owned the Dodgers and they

474
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 4: were a laughing stock at the time.

475
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: Yead owners, you look at this as it's their investment.

476
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: They're making their money. They don't care about winning, so

477
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: they don't want to put it into their team.

478
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 3: Was trying to use it as a cash register.

479
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 2: It's so funny because when you point that pointed that out.

480
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 2: I looked up the clip you spoke of At the Spies.

481
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 2: There was monologue jokes with Matt Camp about how the

482
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 2: Dodgers are stealing ketchup packets be you know, because they

483
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 2: had no money for the stadium, So in our lifetime,

484
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 2: like not that long ago, like Matt didn't mat who

485
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 2: met camp date?

486
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: Like Rihanna ja, Yeah, like that was not long ago.

487
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,719
Speaker 2: The Dodgers are considered cheap, so listen, billionaires can make

488
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 2: it work if they want to. But you know what

489
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 2: your thoughts on everything we just said as far as

490
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 2: baseball goes, We'll take your feedback, but we will dive

491
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 2: a lot into football. I mean, the NFC and AFC

492
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 2: Championship game are days away, Fernando Mania is running wild Raiders,

493
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 2: fans are pumped for next year already. So we'll talk

494
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,719
Speaker 2: a lot of NFL, a lot of football, But your

495
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 2: thoughts on baseball. I'm so intrigued by this. And as

496
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 2: a Mets fan and just a fan of baseball, are

497
00:23:54,960 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 2: you a believer in new scenario, New Dwellings, better team around.

498
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 2: You cannot turn a guy's career around like Luis Robert Junior.

499
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 2: Remember this guy had all the promise in the world

500
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 2: All Star, he was a legit young star. Last two

501
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 2: years took a big step backwards. But Kamino, who is

502
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 2: in the lineup with him in Chicago as a white

503
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 2: sock o, they were terrible when You're losing one hundred

504
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 2: plus games a year and you're god awful. Do you

505
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 2: think if you're in a lineup with Juan Soto, Lindor Boba,

506
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 2: Schett and all that, do you think a guy like

507
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 2: Luis Robert Junior could be like, Yo, I'm back at it.

508
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Setting new scenery could change anybody, not just a

509
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: baseball player.

510
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,959
Speaker 2: Louise Robert goes from the only guy to pitch around

511
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 2: in the Chicago White Sox lineup too, Like batting seventh

512
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 2: or eighth could be a big difference. So your thoughts

513
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,240

00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 2: Let's suck NFL for a second this weekend.

580
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: What did Chris Rock say?

581
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 2: Lie to me, Jerry, I want you to sell me,

582
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 2: even if you're lying to me a little bit. Sell

583
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 2: me on a storyline that makes you feel happy about

584
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 2: the National Football League, Because I feel like Mike in

585
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 2: one day last Saturday, my team got eliminated and Josh

586
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 2: Allen and that fun story of Buffalo got eliminated and

587
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 2: in the same breath bo Nicks out for the season.

588
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 2: So you tell me what is the storyline of the

589
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 2: four teams that is at all even sentimental or could

590
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 2: could get the emotions gone or or make you feel something,

591
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 2: because I look at these four teams and I feel nothing.

592
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 2: You know, when you're in a dead relationship, you're dating

593
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 2: someone for a while and you're like, I feel nothing

594
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 2: for you. After a glorious season of football, I look

595
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 2: at the four remaining teams and I look at them

596
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 2: like I looked at an ext girlfriend. We were on

597
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 2: vacation once we booked it before we were like on

598
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 2: the Rocks, and I remember looking at all the other

599
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 2: couples the Rocks. Ain't no surprise, ain't no surprise, big deal,

600
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 2: Diamond fans, not really. I remember looking at the other

601
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 2: couples on vacation being like, oh, they love each other.

602
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: And I hate you. I don't. I don't hate them.

603
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: I don't hate these four teams like any of the

604
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: teams or Neil Diamond per se. But what rich is

605
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: saying is what's the storyline to root for? What's the

606
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: one that stands out to you? Or maybe one that

607
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: people aren't talking enough about, like what what montage is?

608
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 2: If Fox or CBS or NBC producer putting together for this,

609
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:02,479
Speaker 2: Like now, I'm myster how about this.

610
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: I haven't heard anyone say this, but I was looking

611
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: at matt Stafford's chompers over the weekend. I'm look at

612
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: those chompers and I'm also thinking to myself, Yo, man,

613
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: they've got a good shot to do this again. He's

614
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: thirty seven years old and I think he has one

615
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: more year on the contract. Danny g If I'm not mistaken,

616
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: if they win, Janny just say hey or even there

617
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: and she may be even go out on top. That's

618
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: a cool story to root for it. I mean, staphybody

619
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: loves to see someone go out on top. No one's

620
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: talking about that. Locally. A lot of my kids and

621
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: their friends, like the Staffords, live in the area.

622
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 2: Good family. Matthew Stafford's cool pookin Nakula has been on

623
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 2: our show a couple of times.

624
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: He's awesome. He's a good dude.

625
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 2: But that's like my personal like, well, the Rams seem

626
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 2: like good, but they're like I'm a Niners fan. That's

627
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 2: the rival.

628
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: But then again, so are Dan Byer Seahawks. But dB,

629
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: you can make the argument that Cooper Cup going against

630
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: his team is a cool story. But you can make

631
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: the argument that Empire rookie coach Sam Darnold getting his

632
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: flowers after people threw him out multiple times in the trash.

633
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, sure, second year head coach for mcdonal's.

634
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: So I second your first playoff appearance for.

635
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 6: A Yeah, yes, absolutely, Now I get it. I understand

636
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 6: as a Seahawks fan. I even understand because well, the

637
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 6: Seahawks haven't won a Super Bowl for twelve years. It

638
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 6: doesn't feel like it was twelve years.

639
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: I know in my mind, I'm like, dude, they just

640
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: won with Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll and they dominated

641
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: the West for a couple of years and them and

642
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: the Niners, and they lost on that miserable Marshall Lytch

643
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: Lynch should have ran the ball.

644
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 2: Like then, I'm like, oh, is there a storyline where

645
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 2: it's like Redemptions against New England.

646
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 6: I thought once the Bills were eliminated from the AFC

647
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 6: that any storyline that we could have was just not

648
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 6: going to rise to the level of that.

649
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: And I'm self aware enough to know that even though

650
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: the Niners haven't won in thirty years, the casual fan

651
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: doesn't feel bad, doesn't feel bad because even though they

652
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: haven't won since ninety four ninety five, that sason everyone

653
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: in their mind is still like, well they had all that,

654
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,479
Speaker 1: Jerry Rich, Joe Montana, Steve Young, Honey waie f the Niners.

655
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: I get that, So I do. I'm self aware. I

656
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: just I think the Josh Allen Bill storyline, You're so right.

657
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: When that story died, now it's sort of like, well,

658
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: what what are we rooting for?

659
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, and when the Bears honestly were eliminated, I felt

660
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 6: that that's the one that kind of killed the NFC storyline.

661
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 6: There's a lot that I'm sure that I could point

662
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 6: to with the Seahawks that just wouldn't rise to the

663
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 6: level or stuff that maybe Seahawks fans would think is

664
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 6: neat or interesting, but it truly isn't there for at

665
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 6: least these four teams. And you can kind of see

666
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 6: it like even if Jacksonville was maybe they're like, wow,

667
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 6: Liam Cohen and like we could do a.

668
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: Manufacture or something. You can manufacture something or like I said,

669
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: eighty five Super Bowl Shuffle, you know forty years later

670
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: the Bears are you.

671
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 2: Know, they lost against the Colts in the two thousands,

672
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 2: but you could say Bears great storyline. Bill's you know,

673
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 2: four super Bowl losses in a row, there's so many

674
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 2: angles to go, But I think the four teams in

675
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 2: it rams won recently. The Seahawks feel like they won recently.

676
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 2: If Drake May and Mike Rabel were on a team

677
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 2: that didn't win six Super Bowls over the last decade

678
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 2: or so, then you'd be like, oh, Okay, Drake May

679
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 2: and his wife's adorable, and Rabel is such a cool coach.

680
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 2: But they represent a team that you hated for.

681
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: Like two decades.

682
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 4: But this is such a different Patriots team now that

683
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 4: as a Raiders fan, I don't mind this Patriots team.

684
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 3: They don't bother me.

685
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 4: I couldn't stand the Patriots before, obviously, but even I've

686
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 4: been noticing Cam Newton still screaming about how the Patriots

687
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 4: are having the biggest Mickey Mouse playoff run ever and

688
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 4: that Drake May is not for real. We've been hearing

689
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 4: this from a large portion of the season, that you know,

690
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 4: the Patriots are maybe a soft team, dude, Drake May

691
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 4: is for real. That defense has showed up in the playoffs.

692
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 4: I think what's interesting and intriguing about the Patriots, Rich,

693
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 4: is they prove you could turn any NFL team around

694
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 4: in a season or two.

695
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: That's true, And did you hope? And then dB, let's

696
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 1: go d me for an update. But Dan, like Sean Payton,

697
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: not the most likable coach, and it's like a backup quarterback.

698
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: Is you're root for Stitty? Is that the story?

699
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 6: I don't know, sure, covid, did you have something?

700
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,320
Speaker 1: I would just saying, how about rooting for the matchup

701
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: we've never seen before Broncos Rams. That's the only possible

702
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: matchup here that we haven't seen, right, So there's something

703
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: Rich is saying, what's the storyline we're missing? Or to

704
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: really get us excited? If you're not excited enough, we'll

705
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: get to your feedback after Dan.

706
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 6: But yeah, quickly, and just off of what you guys

707
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 6: were talking about. What I find interesting when you guys

708
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 6: have this conversations, you are looking at the team, You're

709
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 6: looking at the fifty three players, you're looking at the coaches.

710
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 6: I think a lot of fans look at the fan bases.

711
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: That's why I think New England doesn't deserve it, and

712
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: that's I like. I like Mike Rabel, But guess what,

713
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: I have a lot of Patriots Boston friends that I'm

714
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: like yes, no, no, no, no, not yet.

715
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 6: I think that weighs in, which also makes Buffalo a

716
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,760
Speaker 6: great team to root for, because who doesn't love Bill's

717
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 6: Mafia unless you're in the AFC East. While Bill's owner

718
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 6: Terry Pagula had quite the press conference today, sitting next

719
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 6: to new team president Brandon Bean, who was promoted on

720
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 6: the same day that Sean McDermott was fired, the Bill's

721
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 6: owner explained why he made the decision to let go

722
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 6: of McDermott after nine years.

723
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 9: I did not fire coach based on a bad officiating decision.

724
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,919
Speaker 8: I felt like we hit the proverbial playoff wall year

725
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 8: after year now.

726
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 6: John Lynch of the San Francisco forty nine ers had

727
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 6: some interesting words but maybe not surprising words about wide

728
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 6: receiver Brandon Iyuk.

729
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 9: I think it's safe to say that you know he's

730
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 9: played his last snap with the Niners.

731
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 3: It's unfortunate.

732
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 9: We'll look long and hard at what could have been

733
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 9: done differently, but sometimes just doesn't work out.

734
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 6: Seahawks activated running back George o'lane from injured reserve, opening

735
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 6: up the practice window for him. He has a chance

736
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 6: to play in Sunday's NFC Championship against the Rams. Eagles

737
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 6: interviewed Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy for the same position

738
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 6: in Philadelphia, Falcons hired Tommy Reese to be the OC

739
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,479
Speaker 6: under Kevin Stefanski. They worked together in Cleveland for agentol Field.

740
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 6: The Cody Bellinger resigning with the Yankees five year deal

741
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 6: one hundred and sixty two million dollars. Pistons and Pelicans

742
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 6: play tonight. Both Kid Cunningham and Zion Williamson listened. That's questionable, guys,

743
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 6: back to you, Hey.

744
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 2: DB, is there a statute of limitations on a player

745
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 2: or coach talking about bad officiating injured? I get like,

746
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 2: could the Bills management and coaches now be like, yeah,

747
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 2: that was a BS call or could you like that's

748
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 2: still criticizing that.

749
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 6: He may hear from the league office. Yes, I thought

750
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 6: about that.

751
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: Hey, Rich, I got something to root for before we

752
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: take a break. New England versus Seattle and it comes

753
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: down to one play and they give Marshawn Lynch the

754
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: ball and totally redeem themselves. Why not. I like where

755
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: redemption man. So, what are some storylines that you're excited for?

756
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: Because Rich is so juice sort of purpooing the outcome

757
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: here the potential outcomes. Look, super Bowl is gonna be

758
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: fun regardless, they're going to be there covering it. But

759
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: the stories that stick out to you, we'll get to

760
00:36:58,160 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: your feedback next. Hey.

761
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 2: DraftKings sports book and official sports betting partner of the NFL,

762
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 2: making all these playoff moments feel even bigger. I did

763
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 2: not do well last week. I was all about the underdogs.

764
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 2: Didn't work out this week? Do you take Denver and

765
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 2: the points? Do you say, Oh, the Seahawks at home

766
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 2: can win by field goal?

767
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 1: That's up to you. DraftKings has your back with early

768
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,160
