But when we look at this game, the 102 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 3: Yankees coming off the crushing defeat at the hands of 103 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 3: the Dodgers, Aaron Judge, a long off season, off a 104 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 3: fly ball, all the miscues, and really the narrative became 105 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 3: the little things that the Yankees didn't do, all the 106 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 3: stuff that you're supposed to learn from minor league baseball. 107 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 3: And I don't mean minor league baseball is in I'm 108 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 3: a professional going through Class A through Triple A. No, no, no, 109 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 3: I'm talking minor league baseball when you're eight were things 110 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 3: that they were not doing well as a squad. And 111 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 3: then for Aaron Judge, the last sign of him was 112 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 3: he carries a flag out. He becomes the second Aaron 113 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 3: in the New York, New Jersey area to fail miserably 114 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 3: with that optic as he goes oh for three in 115 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 3: that final of the World Baseball Classic against Venezuela. But 116 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 3: hope springs eternal as we start the new twenty twenty 117 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 3: six campaign, I will lave you know the umpires want 118 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 3: to know in the PS world thus far adjudicated quite quickly, 119 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 3: they're gonna have to keep reminding everybody of the rules 120 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 3: of all of this ball strike call and the umpire 121 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 3: got it right. So everywhere across the globe, anybody that's 122 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 3: ever umpired a game probably raised up a shot. 123 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 4: Yeah. 124 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 5: I think if I had to predict the future, that 125 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 5: the umpires will not keep a positive record on ABS 126 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 5: challenges as we get through the long haul of the season. 127 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 5: I also think when the challenges get used is going 128 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 5: to be something that is kind of a dance throughout 129 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 5: the course of the year, because you only get two right. 130 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 5: So I think when you use them, and how you 131 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 5: use them is gonna matter. I think at the end 132 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 5: of the day, we just want to get the calls right. 133 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 5: I saw there was a post today. In fact, I 134 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 5: retweeted this. One of the former umpires was very upset. 135 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 4: That this is happening. Let me find the exact post. 136 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 5: Former. Yeah, I think it's embarrassing, embarrassing to the umpires 137 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 5: that are calling the game. Nobody likes to be humiliated 138 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 5: in front of thirty thousand and forty people. I quote tweeted, 139 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 5: and I said, I get humiliated on this app every 140 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 5: night in front of millions, So I don't get paid 141 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 5: nearly as much as the umpires do. So I'd be 142 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 5: happy to swap places and just get humiliated in front 143 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 5: of thirty or forty thousand people and get a significantly 144 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 5: higher salary. 145 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 3: Well, I just want to get right. 146 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's just in the stadium though, right, and to 147 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 6: the millions around the world and the millions of the 148 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,239 Speaker 6: Rocks fan I mean, sorry baseball fans around the globe, 149 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 6: but the extension of that. 150 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 3: Right, he was an umpire for twenty five years talking 151 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 3: about quote, I don't trust the umpires strike zone, so 152 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 3: I'm going to use something that's going to be operated 153 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 3: by some computer geek. See, it's all WWE parlance, because 154 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 3: now you get Freddy Blassian by computer geek that knows 155 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 3: nothing about baseball, and he's the one that's gonna measure 156 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 3: this and measure that because he's got a PhD in 157 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 3: physics or whatever the hell he's got a degree in. Okay, 158 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 3: I understand the reticence.

Are you gouty that gives if if the 171 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,599 Speaker 3: picture is precise and consistent, are you giving him the 172 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 3: extra inch or two off the black either side of 173 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 3: the plate and all that. Well, now they had to 174 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 3: go back and get measured, right. They were talking about 175 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 3: this whole process of all right, guys that used to 176 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 3: just go, yeah, i'm six foot two, Hey, you're five 177 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 3: foot eleven and a quarter. Uh, And now that's part 178 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 3: of it because we're actually gonna call it based on 179 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 3: what your zone is from letters to knees, which has 180 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 3: never been called that way, even in our little league 181 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 3: kind of exploits as children, it was never called the same. 182 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 3: It was never consistent. And for umpires again, how many 183 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 3: times are you seeing something right at somebody's belts like, 184 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 3: app no, it's low or it's high, depending on the umpire. 185 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 3: Stuff at the knees generally not called at all. Right, 186 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 3: Occasionally you'll see a guy get punched out at something 187 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 3: at the knees and they'll immediately look at the umpire like, 188 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 3: wait a minute, what are we doing now? Right that 189 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 3: that low strikes are not part of Major League Baseball? No, no, no, 190 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 3: It's supposed to be in the zone where I can 191 00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 3: hit it, and if I don't swing or I swing 192 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 3: through it, then we get our strike. Right now, it's 193 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 3: the all right, this is what the metrics are this 194 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 3: is snap it to a grid and go to it, 195 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 3: which means for umpires it's going to take some re 196 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 3: re education for them as well as to what's truly 197 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 3: a strike batter to batter, and for. 198 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 5: The hitters too, because the hitters also have been trained 199 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 5: over everywhere is that this is not a strike in 200 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 5: this spot. But to me, so there's two complaints that 201 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 5: are always made, really one major complaint that is consistently 202 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 5: made across any sport no matter what the situation is. 203 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 5: In basketball and football and baseball, we want to keep 204 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 5: it consistent. Right, If it's a foul on one end, 205 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 5: it's got to be a foul on the other end. 206 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 5: If it's past interference on this side, it needs to 207 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 5: be pass interference on that side. And I think the 208 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 5: consistency is where this can actually create a level playing 209 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 5: where in the past it maybe wasn't consistent. Right handed 210 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 5: batter guy with a high strike completely different call than 211 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 5: a left handed batter, guy with a low zone from 212 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 5: the flock. And I think that to me is the 213 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 5: best part about this. And it will take some time. 214 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 5: It's going to take some time to adjust, especially for 215 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 5: the hitters, but I think at the end of the day. 216 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 5: The best case scenario is we have a consistent strike 217 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 5: zone that is now accurately measured. 218 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 4: By the eye in the sky. 219 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 5: And the ironic side effect is these guys have to 220 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 5: stop lying about their heights, which is something that men 221 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 5: do all the time, especially on dating apps. 222 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 3: So I think I think everybody is lying about a 223 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 3: lot of stuff. You decide which metric and I'll leave 224 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 3: the rest of that. 225 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, your sizes can be up for debate. 226 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 3: But I am olock. 227 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 4: Yet we got away. 228 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 3: Actually no, well East Coast no, no, no, we played 229 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 3: my West Coast rules. 230 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 4: That's fair, No, I I you know, all jokes aside. 231 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 5: I think this is a very positive thing for the game, 232 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 5: and unfortunately the umpires are going to wear it for 233 00:11:58,840 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 5: a little bit. 234 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 4: But also at the end of the day. 235 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 5: Like maybe we should just move to a situation where 236 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 5: the umpires just don't make balls and strikes, calls and 237 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 5: and and they call everything else behind the plate, they 238 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 5: just don't call balls and struck. 239 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's anymore. No, that's right. It's been the immodest proposal. 240 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 3: Now we don't have the box up here anymore, which 241 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 3: kind of ticks me off. I always enjoyed. 242 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 4: Yeah, whatever happened. What happened to that? 243 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 5: I figured we would get more box there's no they're 244 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 5: keeping taking added something else. 245 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, they took it away. So now you have to 246 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 3: play along. Will it be challenged? Will it not? Will 247 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 3: we be in sent because if you know, nobody's challenging anything, 248 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 3: we the umpire gets the the at a boy forgetting 249 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 3: it right. And to that point, I mean last year, 250 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 3: according to the the data that was spit out, there 251 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 3: were an average of one hundred and fifty two per 252 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 3: game measurements, almost three hundred and seventy thousand total, and 253 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 3: they had nearly a ninety three percent accuracy. All of you, 254 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 3: thinking back to any class you've ever taken, you'll take 255 00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 3: that and then some and go running into the now 256 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 3: eight right, So all in all, but it's eight percent, 257 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 3: but it's an exaggerated eight percent, right, because it's it's 258 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 3: the critical time, the critical juncture, the huge at bat 259 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 3: or the perception of such that takes us into our 260 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,479 Speaker 3: wild eyed frenetic pace as as fans uh and stewards 261 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 3: of the game. But yeah, I mean the adjustment period 262 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 3: for all all three and like catchers, right now, you 263 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 3: got an expanded strike zone. So the potential is chaos 264 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 3: on the pitching side, right because but in theory it 265 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 3: should be an advantage because now the batter's got to 266 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 3: protect a larger zone. But like who wins out there? 267 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 4: Right? 268 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 5: So I was thinking about that if this is going 269 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 5: to favor the pitchers or the hitters, because that's as 270 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 5: a gambler, as a better that's the first thing I 271 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 5: think if is this more overs, more runs, less runs, 272 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 5: This is better for the picture at least I would agree, 273 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 5: I would agree. I would agree. I think the hitters 274 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 5: because they have to make the adjustment of what kind 275 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 5: of strike zone am I now getting? Whereas the pitchers 276 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 5: have always been taught corners like that that's really corners 277 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 5: and and you know, ways to knees, whereas the hitters 278 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 5: kind of are more it's a little more nuanced with 279 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 5: where the pitch is compared to what kind of swing 280 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 5: and also based on the count their approach. Like, I think, 281 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 5: I think the hitters will go through more of an 282 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 5: adjustment period early. 283 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 4: That's just my guess. That's just my guess. I'm wrong 284 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 4: a lot. 285 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 3: Well, but but just you know, from the base of 286 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 3: you know that think think about taking tape out to 287 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 3: the wall of the grade school or the library or 288 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 3: whatever you used in any town, USA. And for those 289 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 3: of you that don't remember this and didn't get to 290 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 3: do this as kids, I'm sad for you. Go buy 291 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 3: a bat and a ball and we'll explain it to you. 292 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 3: Where you tape the box up there up on the wall, 293 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 3: and there's your your zone. Just like the overlay that 294 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 3: we've had for baseball for years how many times? Is 295 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 3: as long as it touches inside that tape, it's a strike. 296 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 3: Now pitchers get to work to that legitimately, as opposed 297 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 3: to all right, the guys only working a low zone. 298 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 3: So yeah, at least early on, like hitters are gonna 299 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 3: have to protect a far bigger zone than they've ever known. 300 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 5: Sounds about right right, I'm going unders early well. Also, 301 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 5: the first month of the season is also the pitchers. 302 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 5: The pitching tends to be ahead of the hitting the 303 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 5: first month of the year. Sure, that's usually what I 304 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 5: go by. Maybe it's a little bit different for some 305 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 5: of the guys that were in the WBC that have 306 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 5: had some high leverage at bats, But for the most part, 307 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 5: the pitching tends to be ahead of the hitting, and 308 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 5: also the weather plays a factor too, because you're dealing 309 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 5: with games out in the middle of the Midwest and 310 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 5: you know, the Northeast and it's still really cold. I 311 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 5: know we're not dealing with that here in the desert 312 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 5: in in La, but there are people are dealing with 313 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 5: that across the country Kansas City, Detroit, Chicago. Whereas that 314 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 5: to me always leads to unders, you know, and lower 315 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 5: scoring games and pitchers having the advantage. 316 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 3: We'll see. We'll talk about the grid for tomorrow as 317 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 3: we get all the eight is on the mound to 318 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 3: see those run totals. How depressed they are for opening Day. 319 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 3: But we're excited opening night here as the Yankees are 320 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 3: rolling it up, stringing together some hits, creating some chaos. 321 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 3: Max Freed on the mound getting it done. We're just 322 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 3: getting warmed up here at seven to nothing as we 323 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 3: go to the seventh inning stretch in San Francisco. He's 324 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 3: Jared Smith in for Jason at Jared Smith Betts is 325 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 3: where you find him find me over at Swollen Dome, Hey. 326 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 3: For over forty years, Tire Acts been helping customers find 327 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 3: the right tires for how, what and where they drive. 328 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 3: Ship fast and freeback by free road hazard protection and 329 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 3: with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation.

As we wait for 394 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 3: the NFL Draft, it seems like there's only gonna be 395 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 3: one story that's gonna ring up every other day, and 396 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 3: that's the battle and debate of how much we love 397 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 3: or don't love Fernando Mendoza at number one. And that 398 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 3: got exacerbated this week as Dan Orlowski started to extol 399 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 3: the virtues of Ty Simpson, to which we always reply 400 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 3: on the show, Simpson A and for Ty Simpson of 401 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 3: your Alabama Crimson Tide. A nice season, thirty five hundred 402 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 3: yards twenty eight and five lots of goods, some big games, 403 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 3: some big opportunities. They had a huge stretch after that 404 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 3: season opening loss to Florida State where things came into 405 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 3: a nice little role where the next loss didn't happen 406 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,959 Speaker 3: until November against Oklahoma in a narrow defeat, and then 407 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 3: ultimately a loss to Georgia before you start getting into 408 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 3: the playoffs. The controversy therein et cetera, and his weight, 409 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 3: his strength, injuries, all of those things get questioned. So 410 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 3: I always just raise my hand. If you're on the field, 411 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 3: I don't know your power bar, like you're a video 412 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 3: game character. Okay, so I can't a value saying well, 413 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 3: he was only at seventy percent, or he was playing. 414 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 3: We appreciate that you're playing through the sickness, through an injury, 415 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 3: some combination of both, what's going on with your team, 416 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 3: everything else. But all we can do is evaluate what 417 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 3: you put on in between the white lines. And that's 418 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 3: where we get into the Orlowsky comment saying, Hey, I've 419 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 3: talked to all sorts of people, and this is where 420 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 3: the fun and excitement of the anonymous silly season begins 421 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 3: of I talk to some people. I talked to some 422 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 3: guys down, you know, standing pumping gas. Does that make 423 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,439 Speaker 3: them any in the know because I can claim they 424 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 3: are because the guy I mean, look, the guy was 425 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 3: wearing a lion's jacket. Clearly he's fully in line with 426 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 3: what Campbell and the organization are thinking. So people with 427 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 3: the organization, and it's not to dismiss Orlovsky altogether. People 428 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 3: wanted to go after him because of the the agent representation, 429 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 3: you know, CIA for both he and for to Ty Simpson, 430 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 3: and I get that. There's certainly parts of it that 431 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 3: people can say, don't pass the smell test. Sometimes it's 432 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 3: just hot take nonsense, look at the business that we've 433 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 3: cultivated in this world with several very prominent folks long 434 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 3: before Olafsky ever sat in a chair. We're perpetuating a 435 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 3: what's your take on this? Okay, I'll go the other 436 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 3: way really strongly. And that's the way it's been in 437 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 3: this case. Some of it is we got no sizzle 438 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 3: for the draft. So here's how we fire a little 439 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 3: bit of heat. Maybe we waste a little bit of 440 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 3: gasoline and we torched this thing and try to get 441 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 3: some fire here. Now you got McAfee swear, and I 442 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 3: don't know what the FCC finds on that will be 443 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 3: and everything else, but it just gets. 444 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 4: It's a normal day for him though. 445 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I guess it's cable. But there's still you know, 446 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 3: some but is it really? I mean, now we're in 447 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 3: some such a nebulous and weird world in terms of 448 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 3: adjudicating all that stuff. But for Mendoza, he was fantastic. 449 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 3: He was great at cal and he was ridiculously good 450 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 3: in big spots here and I can you know, pick 451 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,199 Speaker 3: parts as Orlowski did and say, well, he didn't dominate 452 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 3: for these three quarters, what would he do in the fourth? 453 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 3: What did he do when the game was on the line. 454 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 3: Did he throw his body in harm's way, Yes he did. 455 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 3: Did he run for a big first down? Did he 456 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 3: run for a big touchdown? Yes he did. So that 457 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 3: miss in the first quarter that kept the game close, 458 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 3: I don't know that, I necessarily wait. At the same 459 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 3: do I want him to make all those throws? 460 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 4: Sure? 461 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 3: But did he make them when they counted? Whereas for Simpson, 462 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 3: as we're talking about, it's sixty four percent completion rate, 463 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 3: twenty eight touchdowns, five picks, some good, some bad, some ugly, 464 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 3: some misses, a lot of the back round fodder of 465 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 3: you know how healthy he was and whatever else. I 466 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 3: don't know. Some team is going to have to decide, 467 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 3: you know, what that that bar was that he was 468 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 3: at while he was playing, and whether there's another level. 469 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 3: They also have to if they've seen enough of a 470 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 3: sample size. Which is the larger conversation I don't think 471 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 3: many are having, is he's a relative unknown other than 472 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 3: he was in the Alabama system for several years. You 473 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 3: got fifteen games under his belt, Jared. Historically, that has 474 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 3: not exactly been the predecessor to a long and illustrious career. 475 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, So let me start this take by saying that 476 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 5: I think Dan Orlowski is a ball knower certified. 477 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 4: I think he is. 478 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 5: He understands the quarterback position more than any most of 479 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 5: the people who are criticizing him on social media for 480 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 5: the last two days, and he is very good at 481 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 5: his job and he's very sharp when it comes to 482 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 5: understanding the. 483 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 4: Sport of football. 484 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 5: That's why this video and the interview with McAfee stood 485 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 5: out to me so much, because when you watch it, 486 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 5: he comes off very amateurish. He comes off like he's 487 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 5: tripping over himself trying to find reasons to devalue Mendoza. 488 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 5: And that's what raised a lot of eyebrows for me personally, 489 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 5: because I'm not gonna quit listen if Dan thinks Ty 490 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 5: Simpson projects better than Mendoza. Who am I, you know, 491 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 5: the coach of the Bishop Gorman twelve U football team, 492 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 5: to disagree with him, Like, I'm just someone who played 493 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 5: in high school and had dreams of getting to the 494 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,360 Speaker 5: level that Orlowsky got to, not only in his football career, 495 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 5: but now in his in his analyst career. 496 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 4: So I'm not in a position to disagree with him. 497 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 5: However, when you start devaluing what Mendoza did in the 498 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 5: Big Ten Championship game, in the College of Well playoff, 499 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 5: That's when I start to question your motivation because there 500 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 5: is zero debate that Ty Simpson, who has fifteen starts 501 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 5: compared to Mendoza's thirty five, ty Simpson's five hundred career 502 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 5: attempts compared to Mendoza's one thousand plus, there is zero 503 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 5: debate that Mendoza is now a more pro ready prospect today. 504 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 5: There's zero debate about that. You want to talk about 505 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 5: where Simpson projects because of the traits that that Orlowsky sees. 506 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 5: I can't argue that that's a vibes thing. But when 507 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 5: you tell me that Mendoza's run through the College Wall 508 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 5: playoff and in the Big Ten Championship game wasn't important 509 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 5: in valuing him or grading him as a prospect, that's 510 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 5: when I questioned the motives. And that's when the conspiracy 511 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 5: theories of saying he has the same agent as you know, 512 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 5: he's represented by the same agency as Ty Simpson CIA, 513 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:31,479 Speaker 5: that's when those questions become relevant because you're not pumping 514 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 5: up Ty Simpson, you are devaluing Mendoza. And that's where 515 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 5: I think the questions really arise for me. 516 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought a lot of it could have just 517 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 3: been answered with Simpson's played fifteen games. Here are the 518 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 3: projections going forward. Now we can talk about measurable. That's 519 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 3: not what he did though, right, No, but that's what 520 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 3: I mean, that's what that's all he needed to do. 521 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 5: Right, But he tripped over himself trying to say how 522 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 5: Mendoza was Those games weren't important. 523 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 4: What do you mean those games were an important? Like 524 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 4: how could you make that point? 525 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 3: But just face like you don't even need to go 526 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 3: back into anything. They won the championship done right, and. 527 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 4: It also got the score wrong. 528 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 5: He's like, yeah, they only had six points against Ohio 529 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 5: Steak the three quarters actually at thirteen and that was 530 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 5: the final score. They had thirteen. They only needed thirteen 531 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 5: because their defense only gave up ten. Like so like 532 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 5: that's where I'm like, what's your motivation, Dan, Because you're 533 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 5: you're you're giving me facts as an analyst, you've got 534 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 5: to give me something. You gotta give me some facts here, 535 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 5: and and you're giving me something that's really thirty because 536 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 5: you're not making the positive case for Simpson. You're trying 537 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 5: to devalue Mendoza. And that's where I think, rightfully, so 538 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 5: he's being criticized for this take. 539 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, and look the agency, it just lays there. But 540 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 3: it's almost like that's the elephant in the room. But 541 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 3: that's the thing though, right is if you know that is, 542 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 3: you should disclose that. Frankly, well, it's not hard to find, no, 543 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,680 Speaker 3: but I think it. I think it makes him seem 544 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 3: more authentic. For example, when I watch the NBC, they 545 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 3: disclose what they're whole are before they make a claim 546 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 3: for a stock and and I think that makes their 547 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 3: claim seem more authentic. Hey, listen, I have this in 548 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 3: my portfolio, so I'm going to pump it up if. 549 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 4: Only we can do that. 550 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 3: And when they're when they're doing stuff from the Senate 551 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 3: and the House, that's a slipper. What am I holding? 552 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 5: God? 553 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,719 Speaker 3: No, anyway, that's that's the whole other thing. 554 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 4: But but just that's the last we've seen it by carbon. 555 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:28,880 Speaker 3: Well, you had a good run. 556 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 4: The government, the government spies are coming for him. 557 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 3: Well, if they're worried about me right now and talking 558 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 3: about dan Orlovsky uh and disclosing his agent, uh, it's 559 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 3: a whole other thing. But but for me it was 560 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 3: it would have been very simple, as you're getting ready 561 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 3: for this, like you're not going on cold right, you 562 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 3: already made the take, which means when they have you on, 563 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 3: you know you're already gonna be talking about this take. 564 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 3: So anything you need to have button down. Man, it's 565 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 3: public speaking one O one things you've been doing and profess. 566 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 5: This is the biggest network and he's he's got one 567 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 5: of the highest profile jobs and there's. 568 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 3: Behind the scenes working. He's not a guy walking. 569 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 5: It came off very amateur is and that's where I 570 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 5: questioned the motivation because he's not an amateur, he's a professional. 571 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 3: Because he starts by talking about I can have a 572 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 3: differing opinion and tries to argue that, and eventually he 573 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 3: starts saying, well, I'm spitting facts like you. 574 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 5: Really not, No, you're not, and you're devaluing one of 575 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 5: the greatest college football playoff runs in recent history, like 576 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 5: just acting like it's completely irrelevant, Like it really makes 577 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 5: you even the average even the even McAfee's average Joe's. 578 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,959 Speaker 4: Were like, what the heck are you talking about? Dan? 579 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 4: And those and listen, I love those guys. 580 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 5: They're very entertaining, but they're not savants when it comes 581 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 5: to football, and even they were like, Dan, what the 582 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 5: heck are you talking about? 583 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 4: Dude? 584 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was just basic stuff like that, that's the 585 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 3: thing you're not. But you're not even going into throwing 586 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 3: mechanics projections like you got a score wrong and the team, well, 587 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 3: guys get scores wrong all the time. 588 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 5: True, but it was like he was going out of 589 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 5: his way to make it seem like Mendoza didn't do 590 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 5: anything and he and also Mendoza got absolutely lit up 591 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 5: in the first quarter of that game and came back 592 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 5: like it was nothing right like and then he and 593 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 5: so it was like everything he was arguing was like 594 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 5: just so obviously not the truth. That's where I think 595 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 5: the people came in and were like, well, what's your 596 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 5: motivation here, Dan, Like what are you trying to do? 597 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 5: Are you trying to pump up tie or are you 598 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 5: trying to pull the wool over our eyes on Mendoza? 599 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 4: Like like, what's the motivation? 600 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, just a bad strategy because even with Mendoza, you 601 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 3: didn't have to diminish anything he's done. All you have 602 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 3: to say is Simpson projects here from people I'm talking 603 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 3: to and has. 604 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 5: And I agree with him, by the way, up, I 605 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 5: think Simpson's elite. I think Simpson's elite from the neck up. 606 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 5: I was saying it all year, Brian, knowing I got 607 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 5: into a huge fight on Countdown this year about Alabama 608 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 5: because I was very pro Alabama PROTI Simpson. The injuries 609 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 5: I do think made it hard for him to finish 610 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 5: as strong as he started. I'm very prote Simpson, but 611 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 5: only a fool look up at Mendoza season and says, 612 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 5: no big deal. I'm not really gonna give you any 613 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 5: any credit for that, Like that's just like that's crazy 614 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 5: to me. 615 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 3: But that's just that. All he needed was the the 616 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 3: two quick things. Here's where Simpson projects, and Mendoza's at 617 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 3: his ceiling. And if you say he's at his ceiling, yes, 618 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 3: people can only argue with you so much, right, six' 619 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 3: Five AND i would agree With dana on. That and you, Know, 620 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 3: simpson the measurables are are not as, enormous, Right he's 621 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 3: six to one to ten issues what he plays at 622 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 3: and you could say, that, Right, okay you can argue, 623 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 3: it but he's not making stuff up or trying to 624 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 3: diminish the fact that the guy's been on a three 625 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 3: month banquet cycle since The national title. 626 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 4: Game here's the difference, though. 627 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 5: Too here here's a quick questions, though are you are 628 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 5: you giving Me mendoza at one And simpson at?

Dictates very tough thing for the 994 00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:54,040 Speaker 3: league to try to come in and, say, hey we're 995 00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:59,400 Speaker 3: gonna iron fist this and create some equity and solve the. 996 00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,279 Speaker 3: PROBLEM i don't see there being an easy fixing, this 997 00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:03,560 Speaker 3: no matter what they want to. 998 00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,800 Speaker 4: Try oh, yeah how do we start with? 999 00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:10,240 Speaker 5: This so the AVERAGE nba team makes about five hundred 1000 00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:13,000 Speaker 5: million a year and they FIND i think The jazz 1001 00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:16,080 Speaker 5: five hundred, k so that if you do the, math 1002 00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:20,600 Speaker 5: that's that's point one. Percent it's it's like it's like a. 1003 00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,040 Speaker 5: Half it's like a quarter of a, percent not even 1004 00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,040 Speaker 5: like maybe like a tenth of a percent of their 1005 00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:27,520 Speaker 5: annual revenue is what they got fined for. This so 1006 00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:32,040 Speaker 5: the phrase dropping the bucket is very apropos. Here i'll 1007 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,640 Speaker 5: give you The bucks starting lineup.

Everything it's 1025 00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:23,120 Speaker 5: now being addressed with more of an aggressive stance because 1026 00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:27,200 Speaker 5: the gambling partners are. Upset they're getting pushed back from 1027 00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,439 Speaker 5: the sports book, saying, listen the integrity of the game 1028 00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:31,480 Speaker 5: is being called into question. 1029 00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:34,240 Speaker 4: Here we need to clean this. Up like how ironic 1030 00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:36,600 Speaker 4: is that where? Tank this is not a new. 1031 00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:38,759 Speaker 5: Problem you've been watching THE nba for a long, time 1032 00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:41,040 Speaker 5: so HAVE. I this is not a new, problem but 1033 00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:45,640 Speaker 5: it's now being pushed into the limelight because the sportsbook 1034 00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:49,480 Speaker 5: partners are, saying we need the games to be played 1035 00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,640 Speaker 5: a little bit more, fairly a little bit more equity 1036 00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,840 Speaker 5: in the. Game but WHEN i look at some of the, 1037 00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:59,000 Speaker 5: STANDINGS i mean it's it's not Even april yet we 1038 00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,800 Speaker 5: still HAVE i think The knicks Because i'm on the overwin, 1039 00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:03,360 Speaker 5: totals SO i know exactly how many games they have. 1040 00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:04,960 Speaker 5: LEFT i think you have nine or ten games, left. 1041 00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,479 Speaker 5: Yep And i'm looking At i'm looking at eight nine 1042 00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:11,480 Speaker 5: teams that already eliminated from the playoffs and it's not 1043 00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:15,160 Speaker 5: Even april, Yet so there is a problem in the. 1044 00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:16,640 Speaker 5: LEAGUE i remember there was a game a couple of 1045 00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:18,719 Speaker 5: weeks ago with The, wizards who was one of, those 1046 00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:20,719 Speaker 5: one of these teams that are kind of on the you, 1047 00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,920 Speaker 5: know on the caboose end of the, standings and they 1048 00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,359 Speaker 5: were down three late they hit a three to tie, 1049 00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:28,160 Speaker 5: it and then they cut away to the bench and 1050 00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:31,160 Speaker 5: the bench looked like they just lost the, game like 1051 00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:34,719 Speaker 5: it was obvious that there is THIS i don't want 1052 00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:38,080 Speaker 5: to say message from, above but there's definitely a tone 1053 00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,280 Speaker 5: throughout these losing teams that we want. 1054 00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:43,080 Speaker 4: To play, hard but not that. 1055 00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,279 Speaker 5: Hard we want to get close to the finish, line 1056 00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:47,960 Speaker 5: but then right at the end we want to just 1057 00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:50,480 Speaker 5: kind of trip ourselves up and end up losing the. 1058 00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:55,160 Speaker 5: Game SO i don't like the direction that it's. Going 1059 00:52:55,960 --> 00:53:00,480 Speaker 5: there's a reason why that THE nba, ratings although the 1060 00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:03,000 Speaker 5: streaming numbers have been, positive, Right they've got a lot 1061 00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,759 Speaker 5: of different platforms to choose. From but if you look 1062 00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,839 Speaker 5: at the playoff ratings and The All star, ratings which 1063 00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:11,279 Speaker 5: are the two biggest events THE nba, has they are 1064 00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:15,640 Speaker 5: at you, know decade. Lows so the product eventually, suffers 1065 00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:18,640 Speaker 5: and now you're seeing the result of. It AND i 1066 00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:20,719 Speaker 5: really think the only way to change it is to 1067 00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:23,880 Speaker 5: de incentivize losing and to get rid of the lottery 1068 00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:27,440 Speaker 5: process completely and to find a new way to figure 1069 00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,520 Speaker 5: out who gets the number one. PICK i always thought 1070 00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:31,920 Speaker 5: it would be fun if you took all the teams 1071 00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:34,920 Speaker 5: that didn't make the playoffs and threw them into another 1072 00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:38,080 Speaker 5: like n I t tournament for college. Basketball but here's the, 1073 00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,359 Speaker 5: problem and the winner gets the number One. 1074 00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:42,239 Speaker 3: No but the problem is that a lot of these 1075 00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:45,000 Speaker 3: guys don't have contracts for the next year, Exactly so 1076 00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:46,440 Speaker 3: you got to them. 1077 00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,920 Speaker 5: Financial you got to make some Financial, uh you, know 1078 00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:53,960 Speaker 5: it's a complicated. Stright so how AM i to give them? 1079 00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:54,200 Speaker 4: Money? 1080 00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:56,400 Speaker 3: Right but If I'm i'm gonna go potentially make a 1081 00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:59,160 Speaker 3: hundred million dollars somewhere, Else i'm not busting my ass 1082 00:53:59,200 --> 00:53:59,920 Speaker 3: and potentially getting. 1083 00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:04,680 Speaker 4: Hurt so you get, there and especially, exactly it's definitely 1084 00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:05,600 Speaker 4: a slippery. 1085 00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:07,719 Speaker 5: SLOPE i don't know what the. Answer they don't pay 1086 00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:09,359 Speaker 5: me enough to figure out the, answer but we need 1087 00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:09,759 Speaker 5: some kind of. 1088 00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,160 Speaker 3: Well but certainly getting rid of the ping pong balls 1089 00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:17,480 Speaker 3: and trying to figure out it certainly should not be 1090 00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,880 Speaker 3: up to. Chance, like, hey let's have the break before 1091 00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:23,960 Speaker 3: the last weather break in the local news to show 1092 00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:25,640 Speaker 3: you the local.

Footballs they claim 1102 00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:52,600 Speaker 3: they did. 1103 00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:53,600 Speaker 4: It, yeah they never really did
