00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: last week in vacation, I can see the progression the

00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: last three years of Hey, what a wonderful magic carpet ride.

99
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: This is We're good. We just we're just happy to

100
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,440

101
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: this year, there's gonna be changes. And there is gonna

102
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: be because you have so many guys that have to

103
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: get paid like this. All this young talent is all

Speaker 1: NFL running back money when you like, all this young

111
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: talent is coming up. If they don't get to the

112
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: super Bowl this year, this is super it's gonna be

113
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: we have to rebuild and a lot of this talent's

114
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: gonna go other places. Because they can't afford it, and

115
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 1: they can't afford to keep all these guys. Can you

116
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: keep Sam Laporta too? You already know that can't keep

117
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams. This is his last year. Dude, just rent,

118
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: don't buy because you know you're gone after this year.

119
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: They're not going to give you any money. This is

120
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: a really this is a what a world. It is

121
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl or bust year for the Detroit Lines.

122
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: It is the last chance for this group to get

123
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: something done. That just shows you how fast windows open

124
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: end close in the NFL. Well, but go back a

125
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: couple of years ago.

126
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 3: I've talked about it a lot on the program and

127
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: on the network, but those those new haven't heard it

128
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 3: right new to you when the Bengals lost to the

129
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 3: Rams in the Super Bowl and talking to fans grinning

130
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 3: from ear to ear, it's like you had that game?

131
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: Why are you so happy?

132
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like, yes, I get a vacation week in

133
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 3: Southern California.

134
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I don't think that's what it is. I

135
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: think a lot of it is. If I don't look

136
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: at this as a positive, it's gonna ruin my life.

137
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: So potentially losing the Super Bowl every single day. So

138
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna spin it in my head where things are

139
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: actually okay when dude, I'm pretty far from okay, No,

140
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: it just seems no, No, I had no thousand yards Okay, Yeah,

141
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: there was not a pulp fiction moment.

142
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 3: And Andie you thought you were gonna sneak that bike.

143
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: Come on, you really went to the extreme there. That

144
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 3: stuff right there, I'm not saying I'm just saying it's

145
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 3: a lot. It's a lot of progress. But there was

146
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,239
Speaker 3: just a lot of happiness of Hey, we got Burrow,

147
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 3: Like and.

148
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: If you think about if Burrow could have escaped that

149
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: sack for another half a second, he had a wide

150
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: open receiver for a touchdown, and the Bengals would have

151
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: won the.

152
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 3: Maybe, wishing, wanting, hoping, all of those things. But it's

153
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 3: that same thing, like, and now we're running in place

154
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,799
Speaker 3: right of all? Right, now you got the defensive guys,

155
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 3: you got the first part signed. Hendrickson's back, but he's

156
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 3: still not signed. Joe Burrow's still salty about a lot

157
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 3: of stuff. Your offensive line still stinks, and I don't

158
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 3: know how good your defense is gonna be. But other

159
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 3: than that, you know, how was the play kind of situation.

160
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 3: But you saw how quickly it went from Wow, rising team.

161
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 3: All right, maybe, but they're still chasing the Ravens and

162
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 3: the Steelers are always going to be a pain in

163
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 3: the ass for the Lions. And now you've got the

164
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 3: rest of the division is righted the ship, right, the Packers,

165
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 3: they don't have an obvious number one, But you got

166
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 3: a lot of guys, right, you got a lot of

167
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 3: wide receivers.

168
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: You got a pretty good run game with drafted another

169
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: one this year in the first round.

170
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 3: Right, and then you added you know, the Will Shepherd

171
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 3: kid from Colorado. Maybe he makes the rotation, maybe they

172
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 3: stay healthy. Either way, you've got a squad with Jordan

173
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 3: Love that you think is gonna be pretty good. Well,

174
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 3: people can't get over you know. They're tripping over themselves

175
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 3: to come up with superlatives for what Ben Johnson could be.

176
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 3: And the Bears won the off season, which we know

177
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 3: how that usually goes in the National Football League, if

178
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 3: you win the off season and not so fast. And

179
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 3: then Minnesota, even if they fall back, they won fourteen

180
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 3: games last year. Unless McCarthy absolutely comes in and throws

181
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 3: up on himself, they're still gonna be a double digit

182
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 3: win team. So all of a sudden, the rest of

183
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 3: the division has taken a huge step forward. So even

184
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 3: if you think you know you're paddling and ah, everything's calm, No,

185
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 3: you're like a duck on the water, you're flighting underneath

186
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 3: if we get the underwater kind of exposure going with

187
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 3: the camera. So yeah, for the Lions, a lot of expectation,

188
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 3: a lot of changes. We talk about the coordinator changes,

189
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 3: and if you had guys that were around the room,

190
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 3: the play calling is going to be difference, the sequencing,

191
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 3: the creativity, all of that's new. And Dan Campbell is

192
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 3: who he is. He's still gonna want to try to

193
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 3: run the ball down people's throats. He's still gonna try

194
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 3: to push it. Well, Montgomery was hurt for a chunk

195
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 3: of the back end of the year, and you got

196
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 3: some great numbers out of Gibbs. Is that sustainable for

197
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 3: a seventeen game run if Montgomery's not available game in,

198
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 3: game out once again, I think you got a potential

199
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 3: for a lot of change. To your point, I understand

200
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 3: the consternation and vexation of the good folks of Detroit.

201
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 3: Hopefully they can lean into schoobl a little bit more

202
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 3: here for at least another couple of weeks before they

203
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 3: start riding the lightning of Lions football.

204
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna go to a three man rotation school. You

205
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: okay with that? Now? The other side, I worked for C. C.

206
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: Sabathia all the favorite dann it. I am all in

207
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 1: on the Chargers this year. Okay, year one of the

208
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: harbought era in LA went better than I can't believe

209
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: it went as well as as it did, considering he's

210
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: coming in with his Michigan offense philosophy, where we're gonna

211
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: try to sledgehammer the ball with a couple of running

212
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: backs and minimize the quarterback. And it's like, dude, what

213
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: do you do. You're gonna go get running backs that

214
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: your brother didn't want anymore, and you're gonna you're gonna

215
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: plug him in and see but he see you think

216
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: he used that a lot at the dinner table in

217
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: the offseason. See what I can do with the guys

218
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: you can keep on the fields. Why don't you give

219
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: me lamar and we'll see how things go. Uh. But

220
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: not only to bring in a new system, a new

221
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: culture that the players all bought into. They make the playoff. Yes,

222
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: it was a horrendous playoff game for Justin Herbert, right,

223
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: but this was the peak of the season. Defensively for

224
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: the Texans. They picked him off four times. It was

225
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: just a bad game for Herbert, who had a pretty

226
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: good season. As time went on, Harbaugh realized, Okay, I

227
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: really need to rely on Justin Herbert more than I

228
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: wanted to, right, because he likes the quarterback to be

229
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: you know, hey, you're gonna play it. I'm gonna put

230
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: you in a great position to succeed, but I'm not

231
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: going to overuse you. But I think he realized time

232
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: went on, Okay, he's still my best player offensively, we

233
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: have to get things done. Lad McConkie turned into a

234
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: huge weapon. He's a top ten wide receiver. Quentin Johnston

235
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: turned into a guy that's not a bust now year

236
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: two for the Charges after the playoffs last year, and

237
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: he's brought in real dudes to play these positions now. Right, Yes,

238
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: Najie Harris got hurt with a firecracker incident, but hopefully

239
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: he's back for the start of the season. Doesn't matter.

240
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: Marion Hampton's someone that's come in. He can wind up

241
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: taking some of the a little bit bigger of the

242
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: lion's share, and maybe he doesn't give the job back

243
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: because he's such an electric guy. But bringing in and

244
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: making the changes from you year one to year two, saying, Okay,

245
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: we put our system in place, we put our culture

246
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: in place. Now it's time to build on what we

247
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: did last year. And you went to the playoffs last

248
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: year or the ross that people are saying, Wow, you

249
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 1: were in flux and kind of starting over. Now you've

250
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: made additions across the board. The defense is better. Offensively,

251
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna offensively, it's gonna be light years away from

252
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: where it was last year because in theory, you'll be

253
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: able to run the football a little bit and you'll

254
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: be able to throw the football even more. This year,

255
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 1: year two of McConkey, another year of growth for Johnson

256
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: going into year three like, this is a team that

257
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 1: I am all in on them. I can see them

258
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: taking the AFC by storm. I can see them winning

259
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: the AFC West because at some point the Chiefs are

260
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: gonna have a year where hey, we're gonna be a

261
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: wildcard team where the Chiefs didn't get supposed to be

262
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: last year. The Chiefs didn't get that much better in

263
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: the offseason. Eventually it's going to happen. And the Chargers

264
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: have made these big moves in the offseason to bring

265
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: in dudes. Yeah, man, I can see the Chargers being

266
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: that team that that suddenly becomes a trendy Super Bowl pick. Again.

267
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: It's gonna be the best division in football, right, the

268
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 1: AFC West best because the bottom of the division is

269
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: the Raiders. And the Raiders are actually not gonna be bad. Look,

270
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: they got a really good head coach that they they

271
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: stopped the backsliding, they got a quarterback, they got a

272
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: great running back. The people are sleeping on. Yeah, the

273
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: basic losing for the Raiders is over all, four of

274
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: these teams are all really good. The Broncos are terrific,

275
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: right with the whole McLaurin news today, wanting a trade

276
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: there the teams go get Terry McLaurin. But this Chargers team,

277
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: this this culture and what Harball has been able to

278
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: build in a year and get everybody to buy in on.

279
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: Now year two with better players, watch out, man, I

280
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: am all in on the Chargers. Look at you.

281
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 3: You said they had a good quarterback. Now you're throwing

282
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 3: flowers at Gino again like he was your own Geen.

283
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 3: The Raiders currently sixteen to one to twenty to one,

284
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 3: depending on where you're shopping to win. The AFC West

285
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 3: Chargers third in the division at plus three ten ish,

286
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 3: just behind the Broncos just at that plus two ninety

287
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 3: to plus three ten range, and then the Chiefs the

288
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 3: narrow favorite at minus one ten minus one twenty. Still

289
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 3: waiting to see what happens with Rashid Rice before it's done,

290
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 3: but they navigated the season without him. We'll see what

291
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 3: happens with the secondary tertiary guys, if you're worthy, came

292
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 3: on strong back end. Bo Nicks had himself a fantastic

293
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,239
Speaker 3: run once he got acclimated the things. They made some additions,

294
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 3: adding another running back Harvey. That'll be a big part

295
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 3: for them there, and you'll love they re up Courtland Sutton,

296
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 3: who's shown a year ago you got a pretty good offense.

297
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 3: And what Sean Payton's got there. The thing with the Chargers, man,

298
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 3: look the hype machine. I'm gonna buy one of those

299
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 3: standing room only package. You see those thirty bucks a game. Yeah, no,

300
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 3: non transferable, but I mean you got the Steelers and

301
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 3: the Eagles coming in. It's gonna be a pretty raucous time.

302
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 3: Plus the Games of the West. But you're also talking

303
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 3: about a guy who got billboards in amongst all the

304
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 3: injury attorneys in Los Angeles. That's kind of a big deal.

305
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: Oh it is. And you can break that code, Memani

306
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 1: and it's and it's the law firm of Larry the

307
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: late Larry H. Parker, Like that's every.

308
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 3: Other book, like all of those guys, right, and uh,

309
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 3: sweet James and all those other guys. And then all

310
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 3: of a sudden there's a Jim Harbaugh on the mills. Aha,

311
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 3: superstar in your khaki pants. But yeah, and Trey Harris

312
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 3: they added to the receiving corps. Uh, it's unfortunate that

313
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 3: we did not get Mike Williams back for eight or

314
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 3: ten games as a deep threat he retires. But but

315
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 3: all of that, I mean, I still think before it's

316
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 3: all said and done, you watch old Keenan Allen stats

317
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 3: for days, come walking back to move to Pains and

318
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 3: give you that steady guy along with McConkey, who we

319
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 3: celebrated his exploits all last year.

320
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: And you know, and he might be one of those

321
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: guys who oh it's like a fade of complete. But

322
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: I want to be fresh at the end of the year.

323
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: So maybe I'm not four, you know, week five, maybe

324
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: that's when you see him. So I mean, there's no

325
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: question people are going to be knocking on the door.

326
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: Plenty of twenty of squads could use a guy to

327
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: be that sit down receiver for them. No, this is

328
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: the division is going to be fantastic to watch. I

329
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: still think you had your shot at the King last

330
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: year and you didn't take it. And now Travis Kelsey

331

388
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: congratulations on closer day in Major League Baseball. All thirty

389
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: four players traded today were closers. I didn't think we'd

390
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: ever see something like that.

391
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 4: Thirty four, by the way, is also the number of

392
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 4: points that were scored by the Chargers against the Lions,

393
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 4: but we'll get into that one later.

394
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: Doctorally, pre season football, John Paul, don't trust right right?

395
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 4: The preseason football is far down the list of topics

396
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 4: to discuss today. Actually, you'll forget me. Just before we

397
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 4: came on the air, there was a knock on my

398
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 4: door and it was the Twins beloved and cuddly TC Bear,

399
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 4: who was also traded. He was traded away today. He

400
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 4: is emblematic of the Twin Cities and he too has

401
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 4: been delt So you gave it, Doug, Yeah, it was

402
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 4: I gave. I gave TC a big hug. I told

403
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 4: him we're gonna hang out again. I met you first

404
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 4: the Metrodome long time ago. I always loved the Metrodome

405
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 4: more than most people did. But we're gonna have all

406
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 4: kinds of memories now. The Twins got great history and

407
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 4: they've got a bright future. But the president right now

408
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 4: is not so much fun. After making a lot of

409
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 4: trades they did well. To be honest with you, they

410
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 4: don't have a team.

411
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: They traded away out half of their I don't think

412
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: they have enough guys to play the rest of the season.

413
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 4: They can bring down there. There is a I believe

414
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 4: a Northern League team it's based out of Winnipeg, is

415
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 4: a loan some players. And then there's the Saint Paul

416
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 4: Saints that that's actually a Triple A team, no longer

417
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 4: an independent team that Kevin Mallar played four years ago,

418
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 4: but it is. It is a remarkable time. The Twins

419
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 4: have basically done trades with everybody except they did not

420
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 4: trade Joe Ryan, and that was that was the one

421
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 4: blockbuster of blockbusters they could have made a They did

422
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 4: not do that, but they traded just about everyone else,

423
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 4: including the beloved TC Bear.

424
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: All Right, so we talked about the winners losers today.

425
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: I'll give you the two big winners today, and there's

426
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: a third winner. But these two above three big winners

427
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 1: trade deadline over the course of the past few days.

428
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 2: You got it.

429
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 1: The Mariners, the Padres, and the Mets.

430
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 4: Good. I agree. And you know what, There's also this

431
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 4: little small market team, it's based out on the East

432
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 4: Coast called the New York Yankees, and they did pretty

433
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 4: well too. They traded for seven players. Seven that's almost

434
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 4: a third of their team. Now I realize that they

435
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 4: Aaron Judge on the injured list, they don't have Garrett Cole.

436
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 4: But now they've got I believe, by my count, I

437
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 4: think at least four different relievers who have their own

438
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 4: pyrotechnics and musical display when they enter the game, which

439
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 4: is usually a pretty good indication. The Mets have the

440
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 4: same thing. Have like dueling, dueling, game presentation entrances. Now

441
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 4: for the Mets, you've got Hell's bells, You've got you

442
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 4: still have the trumpets playing. Now the Mets, now the

443
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 4: Yankees as well, with the arrival of Comitito do'vall and

444
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 4: David Bednard at joining them with Devin Williams. They're they're

445
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 4: looking really good now. And they also got, by the way,

446
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 4: amid all the talk and the scrutiny on Anthony Bolpi,

447
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 4: getting Hoste Camago was a very important move too, because

448
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 4: he's actually a very solid defensive player. I think they

449
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 4: did exceptionally well too, I really do. I would have

450
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 4: liked to see the Yankees get a starting pitcher as well,

451
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 4: but by and large, I like their deadline in addition

452
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 4: to three teams that you mentioned, so the overall takeaway

453
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 4: is basically twofold number one best trade deadline I have

454
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 4: ever covered. I've been doing this for exactly twenty years.

455
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 4: The first first one I covered as a major league

456
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 4: writer was with the Seattle Post Intelligencer back in two

457
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 4: thousand and five and the Seattle Mariners. I can recite

458
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 4: the trades from memory. They traded Randy Winn to the

459
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 4: Giants for a package that included Jesse Foppert. Why I'm

460
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 4: a moros, I do Jesse Foppert, Jesse Fopper, just look

461
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 4: him up. He was traded Jesse Fopper. So, so that

462
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 4: was twenty years ago. This is the best trade deadline

463
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 4: I have ever covered in terms of just excitement, diversity

464
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 4: of moves you had, Buyer and buyer and seller and

465
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 4: seller and then buyer and seller. There was all kinds

466
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 4: of different combinations. It felt like an NBA trade deadline

467
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 4: on most because of the different combinations of elements there.

468
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 4: So that's number one best ever and it also conveyed

469
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 4: to me and this is really awesome news for a

470
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 4: lot of baseball fans that a lot of teams in

471
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 4: a lot of different markets believe that they can win

472
00:22:54,280 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 4: the World Series. Because you saw, by most measures in baseball,

473
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 4: depending on how you calculate this kind of thing, the

474
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 4: two smallest markets are Milwaukee and Cincinnati, and both of

475
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 4: them were buyers. In fact, Cincinnati they added Tobrian Hey,

476
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 4: they had Zachtel, they were adding multiple players, and the

477
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 4: Brewers made I thought, some pretty interesting moves with the

478
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 4: in terms of players in, players out. They traded Nestor Cortez,

479
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 4: brought in Shelby Miller. There's just a lot of really

480
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 4: interesting movement that I loved, and that cemented my idea

481
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 4: that this is as wide open as any postseason that

482
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 4: I've ever covered is going to be.

483
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 3: That's the fun of all of a JP. We talked

484
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 3: about it a little bit when you joined us earlier.

485
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 3: This week, sure as the big Chip already making paying

486
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 3: dividends for the Mariners, looking resplendent in those blue jersey tops.

487
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah on side cal Raley so solid there.

488
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 3: I immediately went as we went down our list of

489
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 3: potential losers in all of this to the north side

490
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 3: of Chicago, where there were a lot of expectations that

491
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 3: at least one starting pitcher was going to walk through

492
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 3: those doors.

493
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: Instead it's a utility man and another reliever.

494
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was a little bit underwhelmed. I thought that

495
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 4: they would do more. I thought the Red Sox would

496
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 4: do more. I thought the Tigers would do more. But

497
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 4: you're right. The Cubs in particular, there were a lot

498
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 4: of big time names that were linked to the Cubs again,

499
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 4: Iohannio Suadez was actually one of them. There was more

500
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 4: talk about what they could have done at third base.

501
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 4: I just feel like the Brewers have a little more

502
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 4: momentum now than the Cubs do, and the Brewers have

503
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 4: this youth on their side. I do think sometimes the

504
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 4: experience is a little bit overrated, especially in a situation

505
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 4: where you've got and again it's not like the Cubs

506
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 4: are this ancient team, but the Brewers have this really

507
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 4: good style they play with, and they brought in Mizerowski,

508
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 4: They've got chat Patrick, and now they've got also the experience,

509
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 4: a little bit of experience with Brandon Woodruff coming back in,

510
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 4: and then this really impressive bullpen that's missing a lot

511
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 4: of bats. So I think the Brewers are playing an

512
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 4: excellent brand of baseball, and the Cubs they just it's

513
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 4: a little bit more that I believe they should have done.

514
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 4: With respect to their rotation. Yeah, they've got six starters

515
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 4: that you consider Soroka to be a starter, But I

516
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 4: just don't know how the likes of Ben Brown and

517
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 4: Kate Horton again into the second half longer season, how

518
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 4: they're going to respond. You've seen a little bit of

519
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 4: inconsistency with Imanaga this season. I just I like the

520
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 4: Brewers a little bit better. And then you look at

521
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 4: a team like the Podreys now again in the National

522
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 4: League with a fund of momentum. That team is so

523
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 4: much fun. They Aj Proler basically made a trade at

524
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 4: every hour, it seemed this year, this day. And one

525
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 4: of them, of course, Mason Miller coming over from Oakland,

526
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 4: one of the best closers in the game, and he

527
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 4: actually kept Robert Suarez, and he kept Dylan Ceased brought

528
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 4: in for me to help address the catching situation. He

529
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 4: brought in Loreano, he brought an O'Hearn just a masterclass

530
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 4: of working the deadline, being clever with what assets he

531
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 4: had at the budget, and a j preller is not

532
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 4: afraid to make a trade and give up a top prospect,

533
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 4: same like David dembrows Gilber in Philadelphia. So I'm a

534
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 4: big believer. I really I like it when teams that

535
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 4: go forard are rewarded. And I believe that the National

536
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 4: League is going to be represented eventually in the World

537
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 4: Series by a team that was aggressive on this day

538
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 4: and in general this season, and that would include teams

539
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 4: like the Padres, Phillies, Mets. Yes, I made sure to

540
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 4: include the Mets there. Yeah, I know I held you

541
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 4: in suspense there, but they did. I thought the mess

542
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 4: did a very good job. Listen. They they paid and

543
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 4: I know that the New York fan of you, Jason,

544
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 4: was very excited that. Listen. They were not afraid to

545
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 4: overpay a little bit, especially in the Rogers deal that

546
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 4: was they paid a ton, yeah, to get in, but

547
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 4: you know how important it is, and they now have

548
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 4: an almost all new late inning setup crew in front

549
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 4: of Edwin Diaz, which is I think both very well

550
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 4: for their postseedon fortunes.

551
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: John Paul Moros the MLB Network Insider with us here

552
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 1: the Jason Smith Shore with Mike Carmen. Now, I want

553
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: to bring up something that you had the big breaking

554
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: news on today. We saw that Carlos Correa going back

555
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 1: to the Houston Astros, and I'm sure everybody's saying, wait

556
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: a minute, they have a pretty good shot. No, no, no,

557
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: you said, Carlos Carea is okay with playing third base,

558
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: So I know everybody is happy the band is getting

559
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: back together in Houston. But John Paul, it sounds great,

560
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: but Carlos Correa hasn't really been that player now for

561
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 1: almost four years. I feel like, Oh, everybody's expecting Crea

562
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: to come back and we're going to turn the clock

563
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: back to twenty seventeen and that I don't think that's

564
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: going to happen. He's not that guy anymore.

565
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 4: I think you're right that there is a little bit

566
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 4: of nostalgia here, which again is good. It's part of

567
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 4: the reason why and again not the same thing, but

568
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 4: why the Mariners are so excited about getting Suarez back.

569
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 4: It's that romance of bringing back the player that helped

570
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 4: you win before. So I understand that. But you're right,

571
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 4: is Ops, even from just last year to this year, Jason,

572
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 4: he was an All Star year ago, an OPS around

573
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 4: nine hundred. Now it's around seven hundred. And when you

574
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 4: take that Ops and you put it over at third base,

575
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 4: there were teams that had that level of production at

576
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 4: third base this season who were trying to upgrade on it.

577
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 4: And so I just I'm with you. The talent is

578
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 4: still there. He is not an old man by any

579
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 4: stretch of the imagination, but he's going to have to

580
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 4: I think kick it up a notch and he may

581
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 4: I think back to run to what Troy Cholwitsky did

582
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 4: over amount of time with the Jays when he was

583
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 4: traded there ten years ago, where he was sort of

584
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 4: towards the back end of his career, and yet he

585
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 4: found a way to summon that that talent and that

586
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 4: postseason dry for him. So I do think you'll get

587
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 4: a better version of Korea in Houston with a Pennant

588
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 4: race with a lot of excitement there. But I am

589
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 4: with you that I fully agree we have not seen

590
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 4: the best of him in a while, and he's gonna

591
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 4: have to reprove himself. And you know that those that

592
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 4: bat that he had in twenty seventeen or twenty nineteen

593
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,239
Speaker 4: or twenty twenty one, they're not going to count right now.

594
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 4: There's nothing about those that bats that are going to

595
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 4: be event of much value. When he's in the batter's

596
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 4: box right now, is going to have to produce more,

597
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 4: and I, like you will sort of withhold judgment a

598
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 4: little bit before we see exactly what he's able to

599
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 4: bring on a consistent basis and stay durable, stay in

600
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 4: the lineup. He's been injured way too much much lately.

601
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 4: That has to change.

602
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at John Morosi, that is at John

603
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: Morosey MLB Network Insider And and Hey, since I know

604
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: you're going to talk to Sternsey, your former college roommate,

605
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: pass along this message for me. Uh, great job today.

606
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to seeing sprot and McClain sometime in August. Uh,

607
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: who's out the Mets starting staff. So I just let him.

608
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 4: He got Ooh.

609
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: I think seeing how they like to bring up pictures,

610
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna want to see him do it

611
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: a little bit longer, like Sprote McLain. I feel like

612
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: they're the most ready. But Tong is going to be Hey,

613
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: they want to see him do it maybe a little

614
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: bit longer. So I'm fully expecting to see him next year.

615
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 4: I agree. I think he'll he'll keep pitching for the

616
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 4: Binghamton Rumble Ponies. I just wanted to find a reason

617
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 4: to mention the Binghamton Rumble Ponies.

618
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: Of course, let's let's yeah.

619
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 4: It's really the the ideal capstone of my trade deadline day.

620
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 4: We talked about the Binghamton Rumble Ponies on national radio,

621
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 4: and we've talked about and again. The only reason why,

622
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 4: and I'll bring it back to where we started, The

623
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 4: only reason why the Lions went down to a thirty

624
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 4: four to seven defeat tonight in Canton is that I

625
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 4: did not I did not preemptively on these airwaves give

626
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 4: you the final score two nights ago. Now now again

627
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 4: the preseason. I'm not going to bring out my a

628
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 4: game of predictions now because there's I got along, I

629
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 4: got It's a long season, but rest assured when it

630
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 4: comes time to week one. And I believe I heard

631
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 4: a report that they actually play seventeen regular season games

632
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 4: down the NFL, which I think is a new thing.

633
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 4: Maybe this year. I'm joking, but I'll make sure that

634
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 4: I get that prediction in before the first game that

635
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 4: actually counts.

636
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: John Paul is always buddy appreciated, my friend. Week.

637
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 4: We have too much fun. We have too much fun.

638
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: I didn't give you that pick the other night. That's

639
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: why we got Okay, got it because I know we

640
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: actually we went back and forth and you're like, yeah,

641
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: we didn't do.

642
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 3: A pick for Thursday. I'm like, we covered like ninety

643
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 3: teams in the fifteen minutes.

644
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: He was Hendon Hooker's playing for you. It's okay, It's okay.

645
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 2: You once thought he was gonna be the guy.

646
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: It was a long time ago, man, it was a

647
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: long change. Speaking was so long ago. The Mets had

648
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: a bad bullpen. Now look at what it's done today.

649

697
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,080

Speaker 1: Back to you guys, Thanks a bunch of mart Now,

699
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, I see your Cal Rowley now

700
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: most home runs by a switch in and catching MLB history.

701
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: The record he broke was forty one, held by former

702
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: New York met Todd Hunley at ninety six ninety selig

703
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: at that finally that the met. He was the catcher

704
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: for like nine years and finally he broke through. He

705
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: had an incredible year. They moved in the left field

706
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: and he couldn't field at all, and it was awful.

707
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 1: At one point when he caught a fly ball, he

708
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 1: actually tipped his cap to the crowd because he was

709
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: such he was so bad in the outfield. But man

710
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: ninety six, ninety seven, six, yeah, forty one, y yeah, dad,

711

712
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: didn't do it, but he was great, man, it was great.

713
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:36,359
Speaker 1: It's all that matters. Thanks a bunch, Martin coming up next. Yes,

00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver wants a trade. So I'll tell you why

Speaker 1: Paul Morosi as always for stopping by telling us how

725
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 1: well the Mets did. But big NFL news today, a

726
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: congratulations we all made it NFL season. Yeah, it is

727
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: that time Hall of Fame game. How sweet it was

728
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: seeing those Chargers jerseys on the field tonight. All is great.

729
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 3: Now, we're gonna rank our top five plays as made

730
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 3: by Trey Lance tonight.

731
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: But outside of that, it's not often that an all

732
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: pro wide receiver request to be traded, but that's what

733
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: happened today we're Terry McLaurin of the Commanders made good

734
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: on his threat slash promise to request a trade. He

735
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: has done so. Jordan Schultz reporting this, Adam Schefter reporting this.

736
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: He wants a new contract. He saw guys like Garrett

737
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: Wilson get paid around thirty million dollars a year, and

738
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 1: mclaurin's coming off a great year. Clearly he is the

739
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: number one option in that offense. He wanted more money

740
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: and now it doesn't like he's gonna get it, and

741
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: so he wants a trade.

742
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 4: Now.

743
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,720
Speaker 1: I know the Commanders have been getting all kinds of flak.

744
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: How do you not take care of this guy? He's

745
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:14,240
Speaker 1: your best wide receiver. But first of all, I'm okay

746
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: if the Commanders trade him, because Jaden Daniels is that

747
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: kind of quarterback, right, there's a reason why he's a

748
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: top five quarterback in the NFL already. You can already

749
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: see that he makes everybody around him better. He's not

750
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: just a guy that can put up stats or if

751
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 1: you give him great weapons, he can do well. That's

752
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,879
Speaker 1: most of the quarterbacks in the NFL, but there's very

753
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: few who no matter what they have around them, they're

754
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: gonna make them better. So yeah, I'm okay with not

755
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: paying a twenty nine year old wide receiver who's been

756
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: good but not great over the course of his career.

757
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 1: I'm okay with not paying that guy thirty million dollars

758
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: because in theory, you could say, all right, we can

759
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: get to the guy in here that can be just

760
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: as good. Right, we can get to the guy. Now

761
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: you're getting close to the season. You want somebody to

762
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 1: get on the same page with you, with your quarterback

763
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: and your team. So yeah, maybe this could have been

764
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: something you handled better, cause if you're gonna trade Terry McLaurin,

765
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: should have done it earlier where you can go out

766
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: and get somebody. But I'm okay with them trading him because, yeah,

767
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: if this is Jamar Chase, I get one. If this

768
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: is Cede Lamb, But come on, Terry Mclaurin's a guy

769
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,399
Speaker 1: catches seventy five eighty passes a year, which is good.

770
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: He's been good, but he's not a twenty three year old,

771
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: twenty four year old budding star. He's gonna be thirty

772
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, I'm not gonna pay him

773
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: just because he's been through all the wars in Washington

774
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: with all these horrible quarterbacks. Yeah, I get that he

775
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: wants to get paid and he's a good receiver. But

776
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: for the Commanders, no, you are Jaden Daniels driven. He

777
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: will make the team better. You can let him go

778
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: and figure something else.

779
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 3: Out final year of a three year, sixty eight million

780
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 3: dollar extension that he signed. To your point, last year,

781
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 3: his base numbers looked very similar to the year before

782
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 3: and the year before that, and the year the uptick

783
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 3: was obviously red zone. Right, he gets into double digit

784
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 3: touchdowns as that offense humes, and then you have to

785
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 3: decide how much does he help fuel everything else, drawing

786
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,720
Speaker 3: extra attention, et cetera. Again, numbers didn't really change terribly

787
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 3: much along the way. So is that worth thirty million

788
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 3: dollars plus?

789
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: Probably not.

790
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 3: Now, on the eve of the season, I think this

791
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 3: becomes the you get a sit, right, you really want

792
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 3: to sit go ahead, But if you're looking at your

793
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 3: roster in Washington right now, you got Noah Brown, Deebo

794
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 3: Samuel and a wishing, wanting, hoping that Michael Gallup is

795
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 3: that guy that he wants. Upon a time was in

796
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 3: Dallas before he was out of football.

797
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: Art monk. That's a lot, and that zach Ertz is

798
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,399
Speaker 1: gonna stay hearthy Charlie Brown, Yeah, sure right.

799
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 3: I mean you look at Brian Robinson and Austin Eckler

800
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 3: out of the batfield. Terry mcglaurin's I think gonna try

801
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 3: to leverage this his best by what I just said,

802
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 3: all these other guys like this is what you got,

803
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 3: and so how much you believe in old number five

804
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 3: to carry you.

805
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: Now Here's but here's the thing is that they need

806
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: to make it trade and get a wide receiver back, right,

807
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 1: That's what they need to do, and they can and

808
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: the two teams they should look to deal him to, right,

809
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: Obviously the Steelers are gonna always be linked with a

810
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: wide receiver and all way went right, Sure, clearly that's

811
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. The two teams that you trade for him,

812
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: and who I would call if I'm Washington, I call

813
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: the Bills, because the Bills have a horde of okay

814
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: but not great receivers. They could use a stud like McLaurin,

815
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 1: and the Broncos could use a stud to pair with

816
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton for Bonnickx's development. Again, it's an arms race

817
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: in the AFC West about continuing to add weapons because

818
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be the best division in football. Those are

819
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: the teams that should have the most interest in McLaurin

820
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: and who I would make sure I would call to say, Okay,

821
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: I gotta make sure I get a wide receiver back,

822
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: a wide receiver and a draft pick, whatever it is,

823
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: but I get somebody back and do it soon. Those

824
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: are the teams I call. Those are the teams that

825
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: I would call if I were to make this trade out.

826
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 3: Now, here's the current odds, courtesy of DraftKings that he

827
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,919
Speaker 3: stays a commander and one minus two fifty Patriots plus

828
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 3: four fifty Raiders plus five hundred Titans and Chargers. Chargers

829
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:08,959
Speaker 3: might want to make a play, right We were talking

830
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 3: about that receiving corps and maybe you think we need

831
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 3: one more. You think we need one more, Let's go

832
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 3: get one more, Jet said thirteen to one. By the way,

833
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 3: exit al about a Fresca exit swollen dome. Jason Smith,

834
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 3: Mike Harmon coming up next, back into what made today

835
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,719
