Speaker 2: Football Hall of Fame coming up this Saturday, seventeen seasons
Speaker 2: as the Cardinals wide receiver, eleven time Pro Bowler and
Speaker 2: second NFL receiving touchdown leader and part of the All
Speaker 2: Decade team first ballot Hall of Fame running down on
Speaker 2: the list. Uh, pretty good resume there, Larry. Congratulations on
Speaker 2: on the honor. How long would it take for you
Speaker 2: to get ready? If you know, like we're waiting for
Speaker 2: Aaron Donald. How long would it take for you to
Speaker 2: get ready for this season?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that ship is so there's no there's
Speaker 3: no coming back for me, you know. I you know,
Speaker 3: thinking about what Aaron's you know, he's one of those guys.
Speaker 3: He's a fitness freak though. You know, he's a big guy,
Speaker 3: and you know, he just constantly stays in shape. That's
Speaker 3: kind of part of his his rituals. So I think
Speaker 3: his bounce back will be a lot quicker. But to
Speaker 3: be out of the game for a few years and
Speaker 3: get back into that the trenches, the double teams and
Speaker 3: all of the things that he's got to deal with,
Speaker 3: you know, it's.
Speaker 4: That's quite impressive.
Speaker 2: You think he's coming back.
Speaker 4: I think he's one of.
Speaker 3: Those guys who loves the game, and he's going back
Speaker 3: to a team who legitimately has a great chance to
Speaker 3: be able to win a championship.
Speaker 4: With the Distion, the Miles Garrett. You put those two
Speaker 4: and you know, Young.
Speaker 3: And a couple other guys in that defensive front, you know,
Speaker 3: they they present a formidable challenge for any offensive line
Speaker 3: and scheme that they would play against. And obviously you
Speaker 3: know with Pulka, Davonte Adams and you know Kuren Williams,
Speaker 3: you know Kirwin and I mean they're loaded over there.
Speaker 2: What is it about pitt guys? How did you end
Speaker 2: up at pitt Dan.
Speaker 3: It was actually a crazy story, Moprinso coordinator god Rest,
Speaker 3: his soul's name was Ed Cole. He was taking me
Speaker 3: and a couple of my teammates on armificial visits. So
Speaker 3: we went to University of Illinois, we went to Notre Dame,
Speaker 3: were Ohio State, and we were on our way to
Speaker 3: Penn State. It was a really really bad uh you know,
Speaker 3: rainstorm or the turnpike. So they actually shut the turnpike
Speaker 3: down based on visibility and so stay trooper shut it down.
Speaker 3: My coach said, hey, we can't get up there. We
Speaker 3: call Penn State let him know what happened. They said,
Speaker 3: can we can? We rescheduled for the following day, so
Speaker 3: we had a full day in Pittsburgh, and coach Cole said, hey,
Speaker 3: we're here in town, why don't we just go visit
Speaker 3: University of Pittsburgh. You know Dan Marinos, Tony Durchaid, Curtis Martin.
Speaker 3: He start naming off all the great players and I
Speaker 3: say like, yeah, let's let's just go by. Literally, we
Speaker 3: go over, we meet wald Haare, Shady, Brooke Cart, you know.
Speaker 4: All the coaching staff there, they had no idea who
Speaker 4: I was.
Speaker 3: We end up leaving the next day we're driving the
Speaker 3: pench that they called my coach's cell phone. They offered
Speaker 3: me a scholarship and it just kind of started from there.
Speaker 2: So if you don't have that rainstorm, you might not
Speaker 2: have ended up at Pitt.
Speaker 3: There's no chance I would have been there, because they
Speaker 3: didn't really they don't. They don't recruit Minnesota. That's not
Speaker 3: some place they actually go. And so there's zero zero
Speaker 3: percent chance I would have gone there.
Speaker 2: When did you know you were good?
Speaker 4: I would say when I was when I was young.
Speaker 3: I mean I was always better than everybody I played against,
Speaker 3: even at seven years old.
Speaker 4: But everybody used to always say, you're from Minnesota.
Speaker 3: You know you played you know, you played three eight
Speaker 3: three a high school football.
Speaker 4: Your your competition's horrible. And so I had that seat
Speaker 4: doubt in.
Speaker 3: My mind a little bit that the competition was just
Speaker 3: that bad. And then I got to college and about
Speaker 3: week two I realized that I had with it to
Speaker 3: not only just be there, but actually be a good player.
Speaker 4: And if I continue to stay on that trajectory, that
Speaker 4: might have a chance.
Speaker 2: And of course, your dad was a longtime sports writer.
Speaker 2: You're up there in Minnesota covering the Vikings, you get
Speaker 2: to be a ball boy. You've talked about that experience
Speaker 2: many times, but the fact that Randy moss Is knocks
Speaker 2: on your door to tell you you're going into the Hall
Speaker 2: of Fame. Take us back to the first time you
Speaker 2: met Randy moss.
Speaker 3: So my first memory of Randy is pretty vivid. I
Speaker 3: was a ball boy and me and a couple of
Speaker 3: ball boys were actually in the gym at Mankato State
Speaker 3: and it was they could walk through the gym to
Speaker 3: head to the practice field, and we were in there
Speaker 3: playing basketball, shooting horse and Randy had to walk through
Speaker 3: out there. So they were getting ready to walk through,
Speaker 3: and it was his birthday. I think he held out
Speaker 3: of camp for a day or two or so, I
Speaker 3: can't remember, but it was his first States. It was
Speaker 3: a huge anticipation and obviously, you know, we'd all followed
Speaker 3: this journey at Marshall and he wanted to see him
Speaker 3: and I remember he him like throws the ball and
Speaker 3: he hit like two three pointers from like about two
Speaker 3: feet behind the three point line, and then before he
Speaker 3: before he comes.
Speaker 4: And he dunks it outside. You know, it's like you
Speaker 4: know the circle there, he and he.
Speaker 3: Dunks it and he walks out, and I'm like, oh
Speaker 3: my gosh, it's just this.
Speaker 4: Is so unbelievable.
Speaker 3: I'm fourteen years old at the time and just so
Speaker 3: enamored and like, that was my first experience in moss.
Speaker 2: What was your welcome to the NFL moment?
Speaker 4: Happened Week two my rookie year. We played the New
Speaker 4: England Patriots, and.
Speaker 3: I'll never forget I was I was going to running
Speaker 3: across the route and William McGinnis like rearranged my whole
Speaker 3: face mask is back when they used to really like
Speaker 3: collision you and he was he was. He was dropping
Speaker 3: out in the coverage and I wasn't paying attention and
Speaker 3: he decapitated me. I got up, and then my coach
Speaker 3: was like, you gotta be more physical, you gotta be
Speaker 3: more physical.
Speaker 4: So there's quarters.
Speaker 3: I come up and I hit Rodney here because as
Speaker 3: hard as I can drop him on the ground and
Speaker 3: to look in his eyes, he's chasing me back to
Speaker 3: the huddle and I get back to the sylum like, coach,
Speaker 3: why did you have me do to this man? Is
Speaker 3: absolutely crazy? And he proceeded to chase me around the
Speaker 3: rest of the game. I could not wait till that
Speaker 3: game was over, and I realized, like, why the Patriots defense.
Speaker 4: You know, they had Teddy Bruski and Mike Brabel and Ted.
Speaker 3: Johnson, and I mean, like, these dudes were Vince will Fork.
Speaker 4: I mean these dudes were massive, physical, mean, aggressive, angry men.
Speaker 4: And I learned that at twenty years old very quickly.
Speaker 2: I could imagine Rodney Harrison was going to get you back,
Speaker 2: because Rodney Rodney got everybody. I remember he told me
Speaker 2: that he got fined or got suspended. He had a
Speaker 2: shot on Jerry Rice across the middle. He said, I
Speaker 2: took him out. That's what you're supposed to do. Game
Speaker 2: has changed a little bit since that Larry.
Speaker 3: It has it has. I think it's much better. Guys
Speaker 3: could play a lot longer, and you know, I think
Speaker 3: we need we needed to make the game a little
Speaker 3: bit safer. It's it's it's not as nearly as violent
Speaker 3: going across that middle. You know, the Steve Atwaters and
Speaker 3: the Joey Browners and the Jack Tatums of the world,
Speaker 3: you know, will be very disappointed in the way we
Speaker 3: play game.
Speaker 2: Now we're talking Larry Fitzgerald, got the big speech coming up.
Speaker 2: How many times you practiced it?
Speaker 3: I practiced it a ton of times, actually working very
Speaker 3: closely with a former colleague of yours, Jerry Madaline, you know,
Speaker 3: helping me kind of get trying to get prepared for it,
Speaker 3: so uh, you know, five or six times a day
Speaker 3: so to make sure I have it, have it down
Speaker 3: pad on Saturday.
Speaker 2: Okay, our tears in the script.
Speaker 3: Tears are never in the script, you know, you know that,
Speaker 3: but you never know how you're going to respond. You know,
Speaker 3: you see family and friends and people who have really
Speaker 3: played the massive role in your life sitting in the front,
Speaker 3: and you know, I just don't know how I'm going
Speaker 3: to respond to them. You know, their emotional or one
Speaker 3: of my kids is emotional. You know things you can't
Speaker 3: really practice that.
Speaker 2: And your son is going to induct you.
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, my oldest son, Devin, He's going to come
Speaker 4: out and do it. I'm really really happy.
Speaker 3: I was going to originally have my father do it
Speaker 3: before he passed away.
Speaker 4: A couple of months ago.
Speaker 3: But you know, to be able to have my son
Speaker 3: do it, it's a it's a tremendous honor and I'm
Speaker 3: so privileged to have that.
Speaker 2: Well, it's going to be tough when you see your
Speaker 2: son out there and he starts talking about dad.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I got my daughter's wedding coming up in two weeks
Speaker 2: and I got to give a speech, and I'm already
Speaker 2: a mess. I practiced it every single day, and I'm
Speaker 2: a mess when nobody is there listening to me. So
Speaker 2: I can't imagine what that's going to be like. You're
Speaker 2: gonna you're gonna see your life in front of you
Speaker 2: with all teammates, former teammates and people from college and
Speaker 2: high school, and you'll probably be a mess.
Speaker 4: And that's okay, Yeah, I definitely will be. Dan.
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this, Are you going to be
Speaker 3: crying because of the speech and emotions or are you
Speaker 3: going to be thinking about how much it costs you
Speaker 3: for your daughter's wedding?
Speaker 2: What will be I already tried, I already cried about that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: As I've told people, it takes a village to put
Speaker 2: on a wedding. It takes a bank account as well
Speaker 2: to put on on a wedding. But yeah, I'm going
Speaker 2: to be a mess, and I don't know how to
Speaker 2: prevent myself from crying. Has anybody told you if you
Speaker 2: do this, you might not cry, or this is the
Speaker 2: best thing to do to not be too emotional.
Speaker 3: No, I think that it will draw emotions, and people
Speaker 3: have told me it's going to be one of the
Speaker 3: most emotional things you've ever done. You know, you have
Speaker 3: been planned for thirty years and you know this is
Speaker 3: the culmination of that, the greatest honor you could ever have,
Speaker 3: and so.
Speaker 4: It should it should be emotional. It shouldn't mean something
Speaker 4: to you.
Speaker 3: But I think the more you practice and the more
Speaker 3: you're prepared, you know, when you do have those emotions,
Speaker 3: you can be able to work through it and get
Speaker 3: back to the messages you're trying to deliver.
Speaker 2: And acknowledging your father as well.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Yeah, Pops played a big role.
Speaker 3: Just none of it would even be possible it wasn't
Speaker 3: for his sacrifices. You know, he put me in these
Speaker 3: positions around people that I could learn from it, have
Speaker 3: some wonderful mentors, and so you know, his presence and
Speaker 3: and his breath of knowledge and fingerprints are all over
Speaker 3: my life.
Speaker 2: Uh go back to the Randy Moss loaning you as
Speaker 2: car when you went to prom. But what kind of
Speaker 2: car was it that Randy Moss lent you?
Speaker 5: It was?
Speaker 3: It was a blue seven forty five L I I
Speaker 3: still remember like it was yesterday.
Speaker 4: It was. It was immaculate shape.
Speaker 3: And you know once in a more detail I left
Speaker 3: out when I asked him about it was. You know,
Speaker 3: I didn't. I didn't. I didn't tell him that I
Speaker 3: didn't have my driver's license yet, and so.
Speaker 4: You know, and I don't know how. I don't know
Speaker 4: how your dad was.
Speaker 3: But my dad when he was home, because he was
Speaker 3: always traveling covering the twins in the summertime, he was
Speaker 3: in Kansas City or Detroit or Cleveland or Chicago company
Speaker 3: to White Sox. So when he got home, he really
Speaker 3: didn't want to he was trying to be home, and
Speaker 3: so he would have thrown me the keys to the
Speaker 3: Pontiac and I would just get to drive up to
Speaker 3: the park and go practice and work out. And so
Speaker 3: he would always just tell me to take the backstreet
Speaker 3: so I felt like I could drive. I never went
Speaker 3: on the freeway or anything like that took the side street.
Speaker 3: So I felt like I was pretty I was pretty
Speaker 3: solid with the car, but I never really had anybody
Speaker 3: else in the car with me, you know, so it
Speaker 3: was a it was a memory.
Speaker 4: I got it back to him, no issues.
Speaker 3: I didn't I didn't tell my dates, mom and daddy
Speaker 3: that I didn't have a license, ed that we kept
Speaker 3: all those things to ourselves.
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool. Can you can you thank your hands
Speaker 2: during your Hall of Fame speech for me? Just a
Speaker 2: little comic relief up there.
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: Was it Freddie Mitchell who thanked his hands remember the
Speaker 2: Eagles fight receipt hands?
Speaker 4: Yeah? That was that was hilarious.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you're not. You're not somebody who is.
Speaker 3: That's not that's not really much. That's not really my jam.
Speaker 3: And uh, you know, I feel like I did. I
Speaker 3: did have good hands, but I worked at it.
Speaker 4: You know. It was thousands and thousands of hours of.
Speaker 3: You know, catching catching balls consistently to try to get
Speaker 3: them to where they were.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but see you didn't fall in line with the
Speaker 2: diva wide receivers.
Speaker 3: That's not I was just a big I was just
Speaker 3: as big of a diva as everyone else. But I
Speaker 3: never I never did it in public. You know, I'd
Speaker 3: always keep it to myself or you know, if I
Speaker 3: had a question about targets, things that nature, I would
Speaker 3: do it in a way where you know, it wasn't
Speaker 3: showing up anybody or didn't put me in a position
Speaker 3: where I would, you know, seem to be more more
Speaker 3: worried about my own personal you know, asking and and
Speaker 3: accomplishments than it was for my team. And so you know,
Speaker 3: I wanted this as bad as anybody else did, but
Speaker 3: I knew there was a way to do it, in
Speaker 3: a way not to do it, in my opinion.
Speaker 2: Congrats, been fun watching and you know this this is
Speaker 2: your moment. You've earned it, first Balance Hall of Famer.
Speaker 3: Good luck this weekend, Thank you, thank you great seeing
Speaker 3: you out of Tahoe. And graduations to you and your
Speaker 3: family on your daughter's wedding, and I hope you have
Speaker 3: an amazing time.
Speaker 4: Thank you. Larry, all right, they have a great day.
Speaker 2: All right there. He is nice, little humble wide receiver.
Speaker 2: Spend seventeen years with the Cardinals, and you go back
Speaker 2: to that Super Bowl against the Steelers. I thought the
Speaker 2: Cardinals were going to win, and Larry scores that touchdown
Speaker 2: and Ben leaves that two minute drill. Then it happened
Speaker 2: that quickly the Cardinals were going to win the Super Bowl,
Speaker 2: and then Ben had two minutes.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Paul, And if you watch that replay on that
Speaker 6: James Harrison interception run back, Larry is chasing him down
Speaker 6: going down, he has to go down the sidelines and
Speaker 6: like staffers block his way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was out of bounds and then came back
Speaker 2: in I think right got down. Still one of the
Speaker 2: more underrated football plays in Super Bowl history, football history,
Speaker 2: James Harrison with that touchdown at the end of the
Speaker 2: first half and the fact that he knew what was
Speaker 2: going to happen. He dropped back in coverage and you
Speaker 2: can see Kurt warners like this is going to be
Speaker 2: a touchdown and they just they read it right. He
Speaker 2: read it right, knew it was coming, and then to
Speaker 2: run one hundred yards.
Speaker 6: Yes, Paul, I'm watching it right now on YouTube. The
Speaker 6: play takes like an hour and a half. He's rumbling
Speaker 6: and stumbling back down the field. People are coming out
Speaker 6: of nowhere trying to grab him.
Speaker 2: Great, we'll take a break the best and worst of
Speaker 2: the weekend. We will give you our best and Worst
Speaker 2: after this eight seven, seven to three d P show.

Speaker 2: We will give you our best and worst of the
Speaker 2: weekend coming up. I want to recap what Larry Fitzgerald
Speaker 2: said about the pit recruiting story. I asked Paul, and
Speaker 2: I said, would you see if that story has ever
Speaker 2: surfaced before? Because I don't remember that all the research
Speaker 2: I did before Larry came on the show, I didn't
Speaker 2: see that he is gonna go to Penn State for
Speaker 2: a recruiting trip and they closed down on the Highway
Speaker 2: because of the heavy rains. So they go back to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2: They take a tour of Pittsburgh. Then next morning get up,
Speaker 2: get ready to go to Penn State. Pitt calls Larry's
Speaker 2: coach and says, I want to offer him a scholarship.
Speaker 2: Never made it to Penn State, Yes, Paulie.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've only found that story years and years ago
Speaker 6: in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, a local report when he
Speaker 6: became a star there. It kind of reminds me there's
Speaker 6: that legendary Hakim Elaijuan story. He flew here from Africa
Speaker 6: and was at JFK Airport and he was supposed to
Speaker 6: go to Saint John's on a recruiting trip. He went
Speaker 6: outside because his ride was late, in like a short
Speaker 6: sleeved shirt and a tie and pants, and it was
Speaker 6: ice cold. He turned around, went inside, got a ticket
Speaker 6: to Houston and never visited Saint John's.
Speaker 2: Yes, Todd, did they put that kind of pressure on athletes?
Speaker 8: I don't know how it's changed where like he couldn't
Speaker 8: have still gone to Penn State. Like, you know, are
Speaker 8: you like betting on yourself? This is going to be
Speaker 8: like you have to decide right now that you're joining us,
Speaker 8: and if you go to any other school, it may
Speaker 8: not be waiting for you.
Speaker 2: No, he didn't. People weren't recruiting players out of Minnesota
Speaker 2: and the recruiting process just started. I think they were
Speaker 2: taking a tour of a few different places, but I
Speaker 2: think he was with teammates. Therefore, they might have been
Speaker 2: players who had a higher profile with some of these schools.
Speaker 2: He was kind of tagging along because I don't remember
Speaker 2: hearing much about Larry Fitzgerald as a high school player
Speaker 2: other than he was playing against talent that was not
Speaker 2: what you would find in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, La Florida,
Speaker 2: and therefore maybe they limited the number of scholarship offers there.
Speaker 2: But I don't think it was Hey, if you don't
Speaker 2: take this scholarship, you know we're going to give it
Speaker 2: to somebody else.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I surprised that he wouldn't check out Penn State and
Speaker 8: wherever he wanted to go and then could always go
Speaker 8: back to Pitt unless there was a time frame in
Speaker 8: the offer.
Speaker 2: I don't know. It certainly worked out for him, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 9: Pitt's one of those schools where you don't realize how
Speaker 9: many Heisman Trophy. Went is a haul famers they have
Speaker 9: until you start looking it up and you're just like, man,
Speaker 9: they have just as many Hall of Famers as a
Speaker 9: USC or you know, Ohio State, Michigan.
Speaker 2: Whoever, Well, they have some big names. I don't know
Speaker 2: if they have as many All Americans as USC or
Speaker 2: Ohio State Michigan.
Speaker 9: I just meant hall of famers as in pro football
Speaker 9: Hall of famers. I don't know about all Americans.
Speaker 2: Well, I would have to see. There's got to be
Speaker 2: a list of the number of Hall of Famers which
Speaker 2: school leads. But you had Dorset there, Marino there, Yeah,
Speaker 2: had Hugh Green there, Ricky Jackson was there, Larry Fitzgerald,
Speaker 2: Aaron Donald, but you know, and Aaron Donald weren't necessarily
Speaker 2: big names nationally when they were in college. Marino was
Speaker 2: a big deal. Dorset was awesome. They had great uniforms too, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 6: Other NFL Hall of famers from Pitt Mike Ditka, Russ Grimm,
Speaker 6: Curtis Martin, the running back, Chris Dolman the defensive end,
Speaker 6: Ricky Jackson the Saints, Jim boke over to the Bears.
Speaker 6: Durell reeves it might be a couple more.
Speaker 2: That's pretty that's pretty impressive list there. Yeah, you might
Speaker 2: be right, Marvin. They I still think it's Ohio State
Speaker 2: or USC that has the most Hall of Fame players
Speaker 2: hem Mark.
Speaker 9: So the school with the most Hall of famers. Notre
Speaker 9: Dame and USC are tied with fourteen apiece. Then it's
Speaker 9: Michigan with eleven. Then Pittsburgh's tied with Ohio State at tank.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, that's a pretty impressive list, yes, Dylan.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 10: If I was Leary Fitzgerald and pitt just called and
Speaker 10: was like, hey, we want to offer you a scholarship,
Speaker 10: and I was like, that means I don't have to
Speaker 10: drive over to State College and back, I'd probably be.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, I'll take it. You didn't like that drive
Speaker 2: to the middle of nowhere Happy Valley.
Speaker 10: Well, Pennsylvania is one of those states. It's like Kansas
Speaker 10: where it's like, all right, it's in the same state,
Speaker 10: except that eight hours away.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I still think you know, at the bottom
Speaker 2: of a license plate, you know, Land of ten Thousand Lakes,
Speaker 2: Pennsylvania should be it goes on forever? Is that Every
Speaker 2: time I drive through Pennsylvania, it's like this is Forever. Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 9: It feels like Pennsylvania is so big. Philadelphia is a
Speaker 9: east coast city. In Pittsburgh's in midwest city. That's how
Speaker 9: big it is.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: After our trip to the Draft, I drove from Pittsburgh
Speaker 6: to Pensa to Philadelphia and there's not a lot to do.
Speaker 6: I mean, just winding hills, beautiful drive rest stops.
Speaker 2: Well, it's not like South Dakota or North Dakota because
Speaker 2: there's nothing to do there. It'd be like Cornfield telephone poles,
Speaker 2: Cornfield telephone poles. Hey, there's a truck driveway. I saw somebody.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Dylan, I would like to throw out Kansas's hat
Speaker 10: into this ring because I did the drive from Denver
Speaker 10: to Missoo one time, which is just straight through Kansas,
Speaker 10: and it is truly eight hours.
Speaker 2: Of windmills, Like there's nothing.
Speaker 10: There's a liquor store that's like a converted you know,
Speaker 10: double wide.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's about it. You've you've painted the picture. It
Speaker 2: feels like I'm right there with you. I did sign
Speaker 2: I'm going to co sign in this.
Speaker 6: I once drove from Denver, which I didn't realize just
Speaker 6: east of Denver it becomes flat because West. It's beautiful.
Speaker 6: I drove from Denver to Kansas City and there's not
Speaker 6: a lot. It makes South Dakota look like Vegas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kansas is a rough, tough sledding Pennsylvania, that's a
Speaker 2: It's a good eight hours, isn't it from uh start
Speaker 2: to finish? Yes?
Speaker 10: Uh, Dylan, it's any state that's built like a rectangle.
Speaker 10: I think that's the that's the common denominator here.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: The hour one poll question results and what about our two.
Speaker 10: Uh, if you had to bet on the World Series
Speaker 10: winner to day, are you taking the Dodgers or the field?
Speaker 10: Nearly sixty percent are taking.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers, Okay?
Speaker 10: And are you in favor of a salary cap in baseball?
Speaker 10: Eighty three percent say yes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm surprised it's not higher than that. And it's
Speaker 2: not higher that the Dodgers going to win the World Series.
Speaker 2: If it was a one game, then you're going to
Speaker 2: take the field. You know, another sports, you're playing one game,
Speaker 2: but in something like this, seven games, you got a
Speaker 2: deeper roster, deeper pitching experience that usually shines through. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 10: I would say though that baseball probably has the most
Speaker 10: like year and year out parody in terms of who
Speaker 10: could win when it all so like you said last year,
Speaker 10: I mean that.
Speaker 2: Blue Jays literally went down to the wires.
Speaker 10: So I feel like I would still take the field
Speaker 10: if I had to bet on it, But the fact
Speaker 10: that it's that close is kind of crazy.
Speaker 2: Harold in North Dakota, Hi, Harold, what do you have
Speaker 2: for me today?
Speaker 5: Well, what I've got there. I'm probably one of the
Speaker 5: greatest Dodger fans that on the map, But I watched
Speaker 5: all the great the Duke Stiders, Rok Cameronell Jackie Robinson
Speaker 5: and so forth, the power hitters and what I don't understand,
Speaker 5: but I've never missed a Dodger game, and they share.
Speaker 5: Why do they keep leading off with Tommy. They don't
Speaker 5: pitch to him, They pit's around him every time when
Speaker 5: he comes up with nobody on first, you automatically walk him.
Speaker 5: He never gets to drive anybody up.
Speaker 2: But it seems to be working if you look at
Speaker 2: what's happened in the last couple of years since he's
Speaker 2: been there, Harold, And they want to give him more
Speaker 2: at bats by leading him on. This comes down to analytics. Uh,
Speaker 2: normally you have that power hitter batting third, maybe fourth,
Speaker 2: but I'm sure it's analytics, Harold, Yes, point, Yeah.
Speaker 6: I read a quick story about why they tiny off
Speaker 6: his on base percentages galactic you know, four to twelve,
Speaker 6: one year, three ninety, they're almost guaranteed to have someone
Speaker 6: on base to start the game.
Speaker 11: Jack in Atlanta, Hi Jack, Hey Dan six' one shrending
Speaker 11: soft one.
Speaker 5: Nine my best of the weekend was my.

Speaker 2: Sun, well they drag it out because it's a. Salon
Speaker 2: and then you have people come up to you and,
Speaker 2: say CAN i get you something to? Drink CAN i
Speaker 2: GET i think seven TIMES i was asked IF i

Speaker 2: comes back, Around, Hey, hi do you need something to? Drink? No,
Speaker 2: No i'm. Good so they made me wait for twenty.
Speaker 2: Minute it's maybe somebody in front of me took a
Speaker 2: little extra. Time but THEN i got up there AND i, thought,
Speaker 2: okay how long is this? Process because my daughters and
Speaker 2: my wife go and they're there for days and uh
Speaker 2: So i'm, like UH i just sit down and that's.
Speaker 2: It cut my hair and you, know like thirty minutes maybe.
Speaker 10: Yeah feeling, now knowing you and you're proclivity to be moving,
Speaker 10: around is a haircut just like interminable for? You LIKE
Speaker 10: i imagine you get in that chair and you are
Speaker 10: counting down until it's.
Speaker 2: Over, YEAH i get a little fidgety, there but you,
Speaker 2: Know i'm looking around or trying to see if somebody
Speaker 2: wants to. Talk and but then my daughter came. In
Speaker 2: my daughter came in to supervise, this and SO i
Speaker 2: WAS i had somebody to you, know keep me occupied
Speaker 2: a little bit, There kyle And Laguna. Beach, Hi, kyle
Speaker 2: what do you have for me? TODAY I dan six
Speaker 2: two twenty.
Speaker 11: Five, yeah you, Know i've been watching listening to you
Speaker 11: for forty years AND i have never had anything important to,
Speaker 11: add So i've never called. In BUT i think today's
Speaker 11: the day you are spot on about the problem with
Speaker 11: baseball being the. Floor i'm a Huge dodgers, fan and
Speaker 11: you know what we should. Do everybody's talking about The
Speaker 11: dodgers shouldn't do, this or The dodgers that's not fair
Speaker 11: that they do. That the problem is the teams that aren't.
Speaker 11: Spending and what if the bottom three or four teams
Speaker 11: got relegated to The Japanese. LEAGUE i bet you The
Speaker 11: Japanese league would love to send some teams over here every.
Speaker 11: Year and then the teams they get, relegated they have
Speaker 11: bad ownership and they can't handle the expense of shipping
Speaker 11: their teams back and forth To. Japan they'd be forced
Speaker 11: to get new good. Owners what do you think about,
Speaker 11: That Dan?
Speaker 2: WELL i think travel could be an issue. There and
Speaker 2: who's to say The japanese teams are going to spend
Speaker 2: money as. Well you got To it's one thing to spend,
Speaker 2: money it's another thing to spend it. Correctly and The
Speaker 2: dodgers do. That you, know The yankees when they had
Speaker 2: their nucleus and they were, winning, well it was smart
Speaker 2: money because they had raised these. Players then you start
Speaker 2: to go out and you're bringing in you, Know mark
Speaker 2: dashera and A rod and now you start to mess
Speaker 2: with the chemistry of what made you guys great and
Speaker 2: now you're just bringing in your renting, people you, know
Speaker 2: bringing In, conseko and you, know then all of a,
Speaker 2: sudden it felt like it. Changed AND i think that's
Speaker 2: what you're trying to, do is you're trying to keep that.
Speaker 2: Feel you, know The dodgers had that feel with their,
Speaker 2: players certain. Players Dave roberts helps an awful, lot but
Speaker 2: it wasn't that long ago where it felt Like Dave
Speaker 2: roberts had to win The World series to keep his.
Speaker 2: Job So i'm not saying this is this is fragile their,
Speaker 2: dynasty BUT i DO i think you got to look
Speaker 2: at this and, say a couple of calls this way
Speaker 2: or plays this, way, injuries you, know there's a lot
Speaker 2: of things that factor into. This teams are built for
Speaker 2: the regular, season they're not always built for the, postseason
Speaker 2: and vice. Versa and this could be a situation where The,
Speaker 2: dodgers you, know meet up with somebody at the right
Speaker 2: time for that team and they're built for a seven game.
Speaker 2: Series that's when you get. Surprises, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 9: Yeah that's what, happened was that maybe twenty twenty three
Speaker 9: would The dodgers lost to The. DIAMONDBACKS i, mean they
Speaker 9: just got hot and they got to The World. SERIES i, mean,
Speaker 9: look if The yankees had the same type of playoff
Speaker 9: format in the nineteen, forties The Saint Louis browns would
Speaker 9: have had a hot playoff run and eliminated. Them yankees
Speaker 9: wouldn't have twenty Seven World series just because it's a
Speaker 9: longer playoff format than it is.
Speaker 2: Now, yeah you could finish in second you didn't make the,
Speaker 2: playoffs so they, like all, right you won and then
Speaker 2: you won and now you play in The World. Series, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 6: Yeah marvin's. Right the twenty Three, dodgers they won one hundred.
Speaker 6: Games it got swept in THE nlds by The diamondbacks
Speaker 6: and that was hot seat time For Dave. Roberts then
Speaker 6: obviously two in a row cleans that.

Speaker 9: Great worse of the Weekend Kyle, Whittingham michigan. Coach he's
Speaker 9: not ingratiating, himself said Of michigan fan base by saying
Speaker 9: he doesn't Hate Ohio. State that's not what you do
Speaker 9: when you first get.
Speaker 2: There all, right here is the new head coach At.
Speaker 2: MICHIGAN i don't know the context of. THIS i don't
Speaker 2: know what he was asked prior, to but here is
Speaker 2: the new head coach on his thoughts About Ohio. STATE
Speaker 2: i just.
Speaker 16: Think that a rivalry could be intense and emotional without
Speaker 16: the hatred factor of. IT i don't think there's any
Speaker 16: place for that. PERSONALLY i Think Ryan day's a good,
Speaker 16: Person and to sit here and SAY i Hate Ryan,
Speaker 16: day that'd Be i'd be vaking crap.
Speaker 15: Up that's not.
Speaker 2: True, okay but this is Who kyle. IS i don't
Speaker 2: expect him to be fire In. Brimstone he's well. RESPECTED i,
Speaker 2: mean this Isn't Jim, harbaugh you, know With Ryan, Day Steve,
Speaker 2: spurrier you, know back in the. Day but you, know
Speaker 2: if you don't have to hate. THEM i asked him
Speaker 2: that when he first took the. JOB i THINK i asked,
Speaker 2: him you, know is that part of the introductory press
Speaker 2: conference where you're, told now you Hate Ohio? State, Yes,
Speaker 2: DYLAN i.
Speaker 10: Kind of prefer that, though then pretending to be like
Speaker 10: you know all rah rah right when you walk in the.
Speaker 10: DOOR i would check back with him in a few
Speaker 10: years and see how he feels About Ohio.
Speaker 2: State but for right, now, Yes, TOM i thought it was.
Speaker 15: REFRESHING i agree With, dylan, like you don't have to
Speaker 15: pretend that any.
Speaker 8: Think it's, like you know, What i'm aware of the
Speaker 8: rivalry and we look forward to beating them over and over,
Speaker 8: again and you know that's a and all.
Speaker 15: That but you don't have to hate the coach or
Speaker 15: hate the.
Speaker 8: TEAM i know that's how you get the fans all
Speaker 8: riled up because there's a hatred.
Speaker 15: There BUT i didn't have a problem with.
Speaker 2: That, well the fans want that, Though.
Speaker 15: So let the fans get all together collectively hate the.
Speaker 8: Team but like this coach doesn't have to say that
Speaker 8: it's already kind of known what the how big the
Speaker 8: rivalry is between these two.
Speaker 2: Teams, yeah but If I'm i'm the, Coach I'm i'm
Speaker 2: gonna play to my fan base a little bit. Here, Yeah, PAUL.
