And George Brett Kansas City 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:42.559 Royals Hall of Famer. Feels like this is an anniversary? 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:45.640 Was it on this day? Todd May I always get 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:47.760 it wrong. I think it's thirty seven years ago today. 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:52.479 You think it's thirty Pretty sure the pinetar incident occurred 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:55.120 of goose that was taken away.

That would be 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:19.400 embarrassing to top. Fritz alrighty eight seven seven three D 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:21.679 P show email address DP at Dan Patrick dot com 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:23.959 Twitter handed a DP show Play of the Day, stat 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:27.040 of the Day. Ethan his back. So the sports world 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.520 is a safer place. So Ethan will have some stats 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:32.800 of the day for us. McLevin of course, will have 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:37.000 the pull question duties. He did say duties. It was 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:39.840 a big day for team nicknames yesterday we were introduced 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:44.600 to the NHL's Seattle Cracking. Kind of weird, but kind 0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:48.000 of cool. And once again, these nicknames aren't for us 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.920 for the most part. Cracking. You're gonna have some fun 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:56.200 with that mascot, the sea creature. Is this gonna be 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.240 a good nickname in twenty years or fifteen years from now, 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:03.280 Like like the Mighty Ducks. If I said to Anaheim, 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:07.440 I give you a dwover. Now when the movie was out, 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:09.680 it was kind of cute. But if I gave you 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:14.079 a dwover, would Anaheim change their nickname from the Mighty Ducks? 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.720 But Kracking, all right, let's see what they do. Have 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:20.799 some fun with it. Yeah, Seed, Like, can you see 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:22.799 somebody being like, oh man, I just like live and 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:26.760 breathe kracking hockey. Yeah, I think there'll be some of 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.640 those people. I go back to Vegas and the Golden Knights, 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.760 and I went, okay, Golden Knights, and I think that 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:37.799 they had a west point, a person who was running 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.320 the team or owned the team, and you had this 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:44.399 army logo, like army football logo, and so I got 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.600 that the shield was the Golden Knights. Well, what helped 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:51.600 the Golden Knights is they were good the fan experience 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:55.040 that you had there. We can sort of get by 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.760 with a nickname when the team is good. It's when 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:01.320 people start turning on you because your team's not good 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:05.160 and then they make fun of your nickname. But the cracking, yes, 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:07.960 Tod what I was kicking around a few things with 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.280 the Seattle cracking, and I wanted, if you're up for it, 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:11.400 if you guys are up for it, to share with 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.160 your days some ideas marketing wise off of that, Do 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:15.520 you want to get this out of the way early? 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:17.519 Get out of the way, I mean, did you way 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:19.880 to sell it? But we're probably better after it gets 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.480 thirted later to seat up there, okay, hanging like a 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:26.000 dark cloud over all over three minutes in, though four 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:27.679 and a half minutes in four and a half minutes in. 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:29.200 This is what we want to do after a lot 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.440 of happened yesterday. We have to do Todd's cracking. A 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:35.080 lot of room for four guests. It's a fritzy Friday 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:39.280 with four guests, and he's feeling a little looser. Get messy, okay, 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.640 explain what you're going to do with cracking? Okay. So 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:43.600 I took the name cracking, and I figured, how can 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:45.120 we play on words because that's what I do with 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:46.920 like my mock headlines and stuff, And what can we 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.800 do with that from a merchandise standpoint or a broadcasting 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.160 standpoint or little things that the team can do to 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:54.320 help sell the product and play off the name. And 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:57.520 a few things that came up with include what's Cracking? 0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.520 A local pregame show at the Whole Arena where a 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.240 lucky fan can ask a coach up or player questions, 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:05.960 what's cracking, what's coming on? I'm good with that, Okay, 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:08.880 don't do cracking anti drug campaign. It's always good to 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.920 do that it's community service, Community Relationous department can run 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:15.800 with that. It's whack to you know, to do cracking? Uh? 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:18.320 The Hershey candy bar crack hole. Maybe they could work 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.920 with Hershey's have a giant cracking bar. It was a 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.160 very popular that the com in the Hershey miniatures. It's 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.400 the red Rapper with the chrisp Rice. You started out, well, 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:28.960 you don't like the crackle cracking? That's it was one 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:30.400 of my favorite candy bars. I think a lot of 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.680 people I got. I'm gonna let me. Let me do 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:36.120 a preemptive strike here. I have like three more Todd 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:40.839 brevity today because I'm a little hyper. Yeah, brevity today 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.359 is really important. There's just three more. I'll keep it, 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:48.520 I'll keep it tight. Ready, I got wise cracking players 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:50.919 tell taped corny jokes which are played for fans on 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:52.520 the big screen during a break in the action or 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:58.240 between periods. Whys cracking? I got it, but don't repeat brevity? Okay? Cracking? 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.320 Fourth back and forth RADI TV exchange between team beat 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.920 riders in front office person No cracking for no. I 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.720 did it again and my last one was slacking. Cracking 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.560 not as popular, but interview with the player that's been struggling, 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.240 bringing the team down, not living up to expectations. Who 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:16.840 is the slacking cracking? That's what I want to Troy 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:22.719 Aikman laughed at it. What's cracking is fine um cheese 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:28.640 and cracking is I'll sell that's unstir swiss each other. 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:31.680 So what is a lovely snack offered at the concessions? 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.400 Everyone does the hot dogs and the chicken fingers? What 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:36.760 is and so what are you serving with the crackings? 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:38.920 Cheese and crackers? But you know, but it'll have all 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.760 kinds of different cheese options or jellies or fruit or 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:45.680 whatever to put on crackers. Brevity today is the key, 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:49.200 Todd slacking cracking? I do have no Someone's got to 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.640 step up if they're not playing. Here's the thing. I 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.440 made a mistake yesterday and I said that you were 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:59.400 the least valuable danette at the halfway point. And it's 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:03.520 a it is it is true, but you didn't lose 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:07.039 the vote. Mclovin was the least valuable danet yesterday as 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:10.039 a journalist, I made a mistake. You were not the 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:14.039 least valuable danette. But you're well on your way the 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:18.680 least valuable dans. Welcome to the program already in progress. 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.680 Here legal Zoom. You need to make it legal.

Visit legal zoom 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.240 dot com today for more information. If you need some 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.839 trademark help, maybe they could help you with a trademark 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.080 if you're going to find a nickname for your team. 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:37.960 So the crack and you know, it sounded pretty interesting 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.240 and okay, the kids will like it, and that got 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:45.760 washed away quickly because the Washington Redskins they announced their 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:49.400 new name change, and they said they were going to 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:50.920 do this week and a half ago. And I even 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:53.240 said this yesterday before the news came out, and I go, 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.279 when are they going to announce this? I haven't heard anything. 0:06:56.680 --> 0:07:00.159 Maybe they just call themselves the Washington Football Club. That's 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:04.400 what I said yesterday. I was sort of joking. And 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.880 then it comes out it's the Washington football team. And 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.160 it reminded me of the Abbot and Costello, who's on 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:14.000 first skit. The team formerly known as the Redskins will 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:17.360 be called the Washington Football Team for now. And I 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:20.680 guess you can understand why they'd simplify because you know 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:24.000 players are reporting this week, they got to put something 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:26.040 on their helmet. Apparently they're just going to put a 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:29.880 number up there instead of any kind of logo. But 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:33.000 also you get the sense there's some defiance by that owner. 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.520 He didn't want to do this. Okay, I'll do it, 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.320 but I'm going to do it on my time frame. 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:40.480 The team actually is going to make a lot of 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.559 money with this new look, and it's a lot cleaner looking, 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:45.920 which makes you wonder why they resisted for so long. 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.640 But like anything in sports, the move will look a 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:50.680 whole lot better if the team is good, they've got 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:52.960 a name. There's still a lot of work left to 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:58.280 do in Washington, like win. But I was told last 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.480 night by a source who lives in DC, and I said, hey, 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:05.480 give me an idea here of Daniel Snyder's time frame 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.320 and that he came up with this Washington football team. 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:11.080 And my source said, to be fair to the Redskins. 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:14.640 He said, while I'm rarely fair to the Redskins because 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.560 they don't deserve it, this is a situation where to 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:20.760 try to turn this around, get a logo, get everything 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.560 printed up, have merchandise. You know that can be a 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:29.000 six to eight month process. But he did say, my source, 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:32.080 this is also a situation where this team has known 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.880 for quite some time. They should be in the exploratory 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:39.800 process of finding their nickname and then what are the 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:43.960 logos going to look like and trademarking these They didn't 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:48.000 trademark anything. Everything was trademarked, and they didn't have a 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:51.920 nickname that they could go with. Now, the Golden State Warriors, 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:56.000 I think are trademarking Warriors because they were concerned that 0:08:56.160 --> 0:09:00.560 Washington was going to do Warriors. But I still think 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.160 if you're going to do something, if you're Washington, when 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:05.160 you do this, you want to have a nickname that 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:08.920 begins with the letter R. Therefore, Daniel Snyder can still 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:14.320 keep that script R in the logo of Washington's football team. 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:16.760 But we'll talk to Ron Rivera, who seems to be 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.840 the spokesper. Ron Rivera just got there six months ago, 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:23.920 and he has to be the spokesperson. Now, we did 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:27.400 ask for Daniel Snyder. You know, I'm grateful that the 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:31.200 Washington Redskins did give us Ron Rivera, who just got there, 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:34.800 And I said, it's a shame that he's the spokesperson 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:36.840 for the team because he has nothing to do with 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.760 this environment. He has nothing to do with this nickname. 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:43.000 He just took over the team. It's tough enough to 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:47.160 win in the NFL. Now you go into this situation there, 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:51.560 but Ron Rivera will join us. Coming up, mclove and 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.800 you got a poll question for me today. Okay, if 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:57.800 you're a Washington football team fan, do you go ahead 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:02.200 and buy the current you kind of generic jersey or 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.120 do you wait to see if there's a new jersey 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:07.719 in the future. I'd buy it now. You're going to 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:11.400 have your hardcore, your fan base that's going to stay 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:13.520 and they're always going to call their team the Redskins. 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.080 They're just going to and they're gonna wear that merchandise. 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:19.000 But if you're a fan and you want something that's 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:21.600 unique and it's maybe it's a one year only that 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:24.400 you have it, then yeah, go ahead. It depends on 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:27.400 how much you know, you literally buy into this team, 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:29.200 how much you want to invest in this team. But 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.040 if you love that team now you might say there's 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:34.559 no way I'm going to buy any merchandise that has 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.480 to do with a new nickname. But if if you 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.760 want a novelty item, it's a novelty item. And I 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.920 was joking when I said it yesterday, like I thought 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.320 they were going to act like they were a soccer club, 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.320 the Washington Football Club. And then it came out the 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:53.040 Washington football team. So Paulie goes, hey, Washington has a 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:55.880 new nickname, Washington Football team. And I go, what is it? 0:10:56.160 --> 0:11:00.880 He goes, Washington Football team. He said, what is it? 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:04.120 He goes, No, that's the nickname. They're the Washington football team. 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:09.880 So they're known as the team. Yeah. Point, it's like avagasella. 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.520 What's the team's name? Yeah, the team's name is what? No, 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:14.520 it's the team. The team is called the team, you know, 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.480 like you go for days. Well, what else do you 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:20.079 have in clubbing? By the way, do you like the uniform? 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:24.360 That was? Yeah? I like it better? Okay, just okay, 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:26.200 I thought it was really cool. Do you don't you 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:31.600 like simple kind of Alabama Penn State? Yeah? I got todd. Wow, 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:35.319 that's a couple of shots minutes, twelve minutes and thirty 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:38.920 five seconds. Yes, okay, I have a couple of baseball polls. Yeah. 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.320 Off last night, I'd like to overreact, you know, if 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:45.280 I give you either the Dodgers or the Yankees make 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.480 the World Series or neither make the World Series? Which 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.480 would you which would you bet? They're the heavy heavy favorite. 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:54.439 I would bet that both make it. Or what I mean, 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:55.960 I you don't even have that both. I'm saying you 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:57.840 get one or the other. Oh yeah, yeah, I would 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:01.680 take that bed. Yeah, I mean, you know, you're it 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.200 was such a bizarre day yesterday. You know, we had 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:07.920 the Seattle Kraken, the Washington football team, and then you 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.080 had Opening Night in baseball. We didn't know how many 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.760 playoff teams there were going to be. Does Toronto have 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:16.120 a home yet? Like just but it's the new crazy. 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:17.880 I'm not gonna say it's the new normal. It's the 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:22.679 new crazy. And then you start the game, no fanfare whatsoever. 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:26.760 Doctor Fauci throws out the first pitch. There's no noise there, 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:29.679 and all of a sudden, the game starts. You got 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:34.480 a great pitching matchup, like it was just strange, and 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.920 I'm watching I watched all of that. I mean, it's 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:40.000 five innings because of you know, rain shortened game with 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:43.280 the Nationals and the Yankees, which was hilarious, you know, 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:48.240 but they started like lightning. So the the the shortened season, 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:50.840 and then a shortened game to start the shortened season. 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:53.760 I thought was, you know that was apropos, But you 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:58.359 had that game, and then the Dodgers Clayton Kershaw gets scratched, 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:01.920 and then all of a sudden, the Dodgers trot out 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:07.200 Dustin May. Now, if you're a baseball guy, Dustin May 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:11.440 is not a drop off from Clayton Kershaw. As strange 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:15.559 as that may sound, this Clayton Kershaw and this Duston May. 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:18.920 Dustin May was throwing gas last night. He was throwing 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:23.560 a Hundy. His curve or so, his sinker is ninety nine, 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:28.040 his cutter is ninety four, his curveball is eighty six. 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:33.200 That's not fair. And the Dodgers got a lot of 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:37.360 young talent there. I love the mullet that he had, 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:40.719 but he's twenty two years of age and he was 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.680 dealing last night as the Dodgers rupped up the Giants. 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.800 But you know, you start to look at these two teams, 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:49.199 and the Yankees, I mean, the Yankees are a softball team. 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.160 They just keep coming at you. If they get pitching, 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:56.160 any pitching whatsoever, then yeah, the Yankees and or the 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:59.439 Dodgers both going to the World Series. Sure, I'd buy 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:01.760 into that. Yeah. See, by the way, I had to 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:03.800 look because I was like, who's this batting fourth for 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.480 the Yankees? Because that they must have gotten another guy 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.280 named Stanton. Because he's down about I don't know, seventy 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:11.400 five pounds. It looks like he looks like a completely 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:14.120 different person and until he gets hurt and then he'll 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:17.880 come back and he'll put seventy pounds on. Like I'm 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.480 not the biggest Jim Carlos Stanton fan. He I don't 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:23.200 know how much weight he lost, but it's to me 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:26.640 it was very surprising. He hit a bomb off my 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:31.560 boy Max Scherzer. I. You know, it's one of those 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:34.160 where when you're watching a guy hit a golf ball 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:35.760 and it stays in the air for a long period 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.040 of time and you're going, man, he must have crushed that. 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:40.600 Like that was that was a ball that when it 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:45.080 was hit, it felt like it was Bryson to Shambo 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:47.320 with a drive where you just go it's still in 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:51.240 the air. That's still in the air, and then it 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:55.880 lands and then the first ricochet. It was like, because 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:57.920 usually it's a fan is going to catch it, or 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:01.560 at least afflected that thing went down back up. It's like, 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:05.880 you know, the pinball machine four sixty six for gian 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:10.920 Carlos Stanton and Garrit Cole. What I love about that 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:13.640 pitching matchup last night? And I know my boy Sharzer 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.320 got banged up a little bit manned. Do those guys 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:19.200 just pound the strikes on. It's just awesome to watch 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:21.720 it and there's no finesse. It's just here it comes. 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:28.440 And Garret Cole, Garrit Cole's bad dude. But Scherzer, he 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.920 struck out a lot, but he got he got dinged 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:33.960 there and then Garret Cole gave up one hit and 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.040 that was a home run. Yeah, Micklevin, Yeah, you hate 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:39.360 to see the national struggling. As a Phillies fan, I mean, 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:43.400 Soto gone before the game, No Rendon, Sharzer looks vulnerable. 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:45.840 I'd say that defending champs are in big trouble. I 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.960 don't shut up, don't it's over it. You could have 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:52.520 said that they look vulnerable before last night's game. Yeah 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:56.040 that's true. But but Soto testing positive. That seemed like 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:58.640 a bad timing for the friend. I mean, oh, that's 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:00.880 a really good player and all of a sudden They 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:03.600 was like, Soto is not going to be playing tonight, 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:08.320 he's tested positive, and I went, welcome to the new crazy. Yeah, Paul, 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:09.720 you know it's really weird. I just look at the 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.680 box score. Both Garrett Cole and Max Scherz are pitched 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:15.920 complete games. They get credit for a complete game, and 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:19.080 you know, nobody pitches complete games anymore. Just about nobody. 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:22.200 I wonder was the last Opening Day where both starters 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:24.840 in the first game of the season pitched. Yeah, but 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:27.840 those aren't complete games. I think they get it well, 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:29.520 but the game counts. They get a complete game. But 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:31.840 a complete game to me would be nine innings. I 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:35.080 think that's a CG. I think it counts well. When's 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:38.120 the last time two pitchers opening Day pitched a nine 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:41.440 inning complete game? You're buzz killing? Yes, I am, I am. 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:45.920 That's I'm Danny Downer. Toddy got anymore cracking. That's why 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:49.160 I got so far good? Yes, seton. We just got 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:51.240 the suggestion, by the way that we should give Todd 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:57.880 back his d but take away the t Odd. Okay, 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:04.560 all in favor, let's vote on it. Satan Now, Odd 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:06.399 is pretty good. I do like seeing his name is 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:12.080 spelled t though I like the Todd without the second 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:15.880 D because it I mean it was that was collateral damage. 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:18.440 And uh, I just like that. We just look, that's 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:22.280 like a pretentious thing like that. That's not new. I 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:24.159 am so not that person that would have like some 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.920 kind of strange name with like one D spelling, but 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.480 you immediately see it and roll your eyes like, oh 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:35.240 Todd with one D. Okay that guy, yeah, that guy, yeah, Paul. 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:38.240 I had a gym teacher growing up, and he uh, 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.680 his first name is Ken k e n and he 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:43.000 legally went to a court and had his name changed 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:46.520 to k e n N. I still think about it. 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:49.439 It was a generation ago, like why would he do that? 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:51.880 I cost money? Why do you care that much about 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:54.720 the extra N? And he changed his middle name to 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:59.760 dole Ken dole Ka. All right, we'll come up with 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:02.000 the poole question. Did we come up with a pull question? 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:04.520 Mcleven No? But I actually want to do is sixteen 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:08.480 games watering down the MLB playoffs? Because how can you 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:11.080 not think it is? I still don't understand the whole 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:16.880 playoff format here. It's weird. I mean, everybody's in Basically 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:19.520 it feels like, well, they did remove the one game playoff. 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.520 Now it's three games. The shortest playoff could be three games, 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:24.040 which gets a rid of that thing where you can 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.600 win ninety three games, lose a game and you're out. 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:29.720 We'll take a break. We'll talk to Ron Rivera, the 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:32.680 Washington football team. He'll join us on the program next. 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:35.760 It's almost twenty after the hour.

He is the 0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:22.400 new head coach of the Washington Football team spent nine 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:25.400 years with the Panthers, Ron Rivera joining us on the program. 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:28.160 Do you got business cards made up, coach, that's say, 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:32.119 head coach of the Washington football team. No, not yet, Dan, 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:34.720 we've had. We're gonna have to get those changed over. 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.199 And again, it's you know, it's an opportunity for us 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:40.360 to really think about what we want to become and 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:42.800 go forward. You know, what we've done is we've pretty 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:46.919 much put a placeholder in place, and it allows us 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:50.520 to really take the twelve to eighteen months that's going 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:53.080 to take to do this right. How involved are you 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:57.080 in this? I'm very involved. You know, mister Sun and 0:19:57.119 --> 0:19:59.560 I talked before the July third announcement that we were 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.000 we're going to take a deep dive into into our 0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:04.719 name and what it's going to take to change it. 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:07.600 Then on the thirteenth, you know, we talked about coming 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:10.000 out and announcing that we are going to retire the 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:13.280 name and the logo, and then yesterday's albumsment on the 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:16.200 twenty third, basically telling everybody that because it's going to 0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:18.240 take us twelve to eighteen months to do this right, 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:20.800 we're going to put a placeholder in place. And again 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:23.040 we're going to call ourselves the Washington football team for 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:25.600 at least the year. We've put out what the uniforms 0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:27.639 are going to look at look like, they're they're very clean. 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:30.680 It's been fun because our players are reacted very well. 0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:33.080 You know, they like the clean look. They like the 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:35.800 fact that we've kept the burgundy and gold, and I 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:37.919 think the big part of that, more so than anything else, is, 0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:40.600 you know, there's so much history and tradition with the colors, 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:42.119 so we want to at least make sure that that 0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:45.680 state and our Alabama players seem to like the fact 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:47.480 that you're gonna have your their numbers on the side 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:51.240 of their helmets. You said that this might be two years, Well, 0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:53.960 it just it's going to take time, obviously, you know, 0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:56.239 we don't expect to take two years, but it is. 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:58.720 It's a process, and we're going through the process. We've 0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:00.760 gone through the first few steps. You know, we have 0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:04.639 a firm that's involved, and you know, they're they're taking 0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:07.359 the dive with us. They've been very very thoughtful that 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:09.679 they wanted to make sure they're very inclusive and in 0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:12.439
