Speaker 1: really seen a bunch of trades. But I don't know

20
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: that anybody can win the off season more than the

21
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:12,080

Speaker 1: What that didn't happen is not on TV? There's there's

27
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: no error. No, that's AI. It's all AI. That didn't

28
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: actually happen. Uh, the you should be happy, Frostburg, you

29
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: got rid of, You got the greatest pass rushers in

30
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: the last decade. Is out of your division?

31
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 4: Has Joe Burrow asked for a trade yet?

32
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow? Yeah, Joe Burrow is uh like, why is

33
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow trending on?

34
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 5: Oh?

35
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he's got to face a bunch of dudes

36
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: now twice a year.

37
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 4: Six games out of your season.

38
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,559
Speaker 1: This is just a few moments old, maybe a little

39
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: bit less than a half hour. The first big domino

40
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: of the offseason has fallen, and again the Ravens have

41
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: already won. In the offseason. The Raiders are trading Max

42
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: Crosby to the Ravens in exchange for two first round

43
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: picks twenty twenty six and twenty twenty seven. So now

44
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna pick first and fourteenth. They got a first

45
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: round pick next year, the Ravens, beating out the offer

46
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys, who are willing to offer a

47
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: first and a second round pick to the Raiders for Crosby,

48
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: who when Zed goes to the Ravens, he's a big

49
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: toy for Jesse Minter. And I'll be honest, Mike Carmon,

50
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm coming into tonight and I'm going I can't believe

51
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: no one's made this trade for Max Crosby. How is

52
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: Max Crosby still a Raider? How is Max Robiz the Raider?

53
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: I would have given up more for Max Crosby. You

54
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: are not gonna get a guy this good, still with

55
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: at least three, maybe four peak years left to wreck

56
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: havoc like he has for the past six or seven.

57
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: This is a two time All Pro and a five

58
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: time Pro bowler. He averages ten sacks a year. You're

59
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: not gonna get better this.

60
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 4: Hell yeah, I.

61
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: Trade at least two first round picks to get Max Kraws.

62
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: This is it. He is the definition of a plug

63
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: and play guy. He doesn't need to be coach. He

64
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: doesn't do anything. His motor, his attitude just show up there.

65
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: It is Max, Go get the quarterback, Go do your

66
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: thing like he is. You can just pick him up,

67
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: bring him over, PLoP him down, and he is fantastic.

68
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: He wanted out of Vegas. Vegas had to make a deal.

69
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: I'd give him up more for him. This is a

70
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: tremendous move for the Ravens. Yes, first two first round picks.

71
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: I get it. But you're getting one of the top

72
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 1: edge rushers in the game the past decade, that's still

73
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: twenty eight years old. Yes, you go get Max Crossby.

74
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, we were talking about it a little bit as

75
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 4: getting ready to come into the studio. It's like, you know,

76
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 4: I and Roddy are producer on the iWatch of Flex

77
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 4: and part of our team. Here he goes. The Jets

78
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 4: got more first Sauce Gardner like, yeah, that is that

79
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 4: is true because you got Adi Mitchell. He got a

80
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 4: couple of first round picks. Now, some of this becomes

81
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 4: the question of you know, where you're trying to do

82
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 4: Crosby a solid not sending him to Football Siberia if

83
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 4: the offers were the same. But it seems like an

84
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 4: opportunity to truly maximize things. And you know, conflicting reports

85
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 4: of how much he wanted in or out. Yes, he

86
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 4: was upset at the last regime for Operation Shutdown, But

87
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 4: could that have been remedied all of this stuff with

88
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 4: Guerrero and everything going on, and whether you got moles

89
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 4: and guys that are trying to exert some clout where

90
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 4: they had should have none and unrest there. But to

91
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 4: get this type of player for two draft picks. I

92
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 4: got like four texts from all my guys in Baltimore.

93
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 4: I can't read any of them because they're all so

94
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 4: expletive laden about picks. And I mean it takes everything

95
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 4: that the rams have said, and you know they added

96
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 4: all the extra extra language to adjacent I mean, it's

97
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 4: like they'll still lay an egg in the playoffs was there,

98
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 4: but you've now pushed all in. You needed a pass rush.

99
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 4: I would have thought you would have just signed O

100
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 4: ways since we saw mintor unlock him here in Los Angeles.

101
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 4: But it doesn't preclude that move, dud. But you make

102
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 4: the big push here and you go get the guy.

103
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: He's a terror. Max Crosby is an absolute terror. He

104
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: is a lunatic in the best way possible, right like

105
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: his attitude, the edge he plays with. Nobody likes playing

106
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: against him. Look, it's my favorite Max Crosby story of

107
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: all Tart the last all the things he has done.

108
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: My favorite Max Crosby story is from not this preseason,

109
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: but last preseason when the Raiders had a joint practice

110
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: with the Rams. And you know, joint practice, you don't

111
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: hit the quarterback. You let him go, and if it

112
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: looks like the play is getting close, you know, they

113
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: blow the whistle so the quarterback doesn't get hurt. Right,

114
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: this is how you do it. And Matthew Stafford telling

115
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: the story after their joint practice, how mad he got

116
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: because Max Crosby kept getting in the backfield and yelling

117
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: sack sack sack, like you gotta blow the blade dead

118
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: because I want to sack Matthew Stafford and he goes,

119
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: we can't even run place. He's this lunatics running around

120
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: in the back of sack sack sack like. That's my

121
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: favorite Max Crosby. He a lunatic in the best way.

122
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: He can wreck a game all by himself. There's not enough.

123
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, three first round pick. Sure

124
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: I would have because I'm saying, how many years am

125
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: I gonna get out of him? That are gonna be great?

126
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 3: Right?

127
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: You don't know what could happen, obviously, but in theory,

128
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: he's twenty eight, I'm gonna get three four great years

129
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: out of him. He is that big of a talent,

130
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: you know. To go back to less Need, who said

131
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: the other day when the Rams made that big trade

132
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: for McDuffie, was the first thing we do is look

133
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: and say, are there any all pros we can get?

134
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 3: Right?

135
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: And that's a great way to look at it. Because

136
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: free agency this year especially, you look at the people

137
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: out there.

138
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 4: Not a great year.

139
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: Man, people are gonna overpay for some duds in free agency. Man,

140
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, but who.

141
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 4: Do you look?

142
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: Okay? What all pros are there out there to go get?

143
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: This is the guy to go get. I can't believe

144
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: it did. It took this long, and I can't believe

145
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: Tom Brady couldn't get more from Max Crosby than this.

146
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: I really am stunned, because you're right, the Jets did

147
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: get more for Sauce Gardener. We had two first round

148
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: picks and and ad Ni Mitchell. Right, they almost it's

149
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: almost very similar to what other defensive players without Max

150
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: Crosby's pedigree have gone for in a trade the last

151
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: couple of years. And I really I don't get I

152
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: get that Max Crosby wanted out. I get that the Raiders,

153
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: you know, had to move on from him. I completely understand.

154
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the Raiders should have kept him because

155
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: it went past the point of no return with his

156
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: injury at the end of the year last year, and

157
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: he was upset when the Raiders sent him home. He

158
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: didn't want to go home. He wanted to play. I mean,

159
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: you could have easily blamed it on Pete Carroll and

160
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: said he's not our coach anymore. But I mean that

161
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: was a big thing, and that was really the beginning

162
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: of the end for Max Crosby. But you could have

163
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: held on this. This is a plug and play guy, man.

164
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: I mean you could have. You could held on to him,

165
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: and you could have gone closer to the draft than

166
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: you could have got more because this is the guy

167
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: that you go out and pay that for, right, This

168
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: is this is what you go out guys like Max

169
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: Crosby and Micah Parsons, this is what you go out

170
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: and trade for him. I mean, I can't. I mean,

171
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: you're right, Frostburg, the Raven's still gonna find a way

172
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: to blow it in the playoffs. But I can't say

173
00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: enough about how big a move this is right now.

174
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 4: Well, I think as you look at it for the

175
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 4: Ravens you're in that you gotta win now, Right, Lamar

176
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 4: Jackson is now going towards the back end of that

177
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 4: first decade in the league, and we have no guarantees

178
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 4: it's going to age well. Right, you see the mobility

179
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 4: starts to come down, the injuries start to mount, all

180
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 4: of those things that add up to an issue. Now

181
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 4: they still have to go find some receivers for Jackson

182
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 4: to throw to. But you solve one of the biggest

183
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 4: problems you had last year. You had no pass rush whatsoever.

184
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 4: Every week I would do my spot in Baltimore and

185
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 4: we'd be talking about that deficiency. And one of them,

186
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 4: and I already mentioned his name once, was Oway, who

187
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 4: had been there and hadn't been able to do much

188
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 4: of anything as a pass rusher. And he showed up

189
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 4: in Los Angeles and all of a sudden, he's he's

190
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 4: going He's a holy terror against opposing quarterbacks on occasion.

191
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 4: So you're looking at trying to maximize what's left of

192
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson's window, which means you push all in to

193
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 4: the less need comment, Yeah, you go get the player.

194
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 4: Someone else wants to try to go one hundred percent

195
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 4: on those picks. Have at it, Ravens. This is as

196
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 4: low as they've picked. What was it twenty twenty two

197
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 4: when they picked Kyle Hamilton and Linderbaum. Well, Linderbom's gonna

198
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 4: end up somewhere, maybe actually in Nevada as their new center,

199
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 4: but otherwise they were picking in the twenties and low

200
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 4: twenties for years. So you go and push that away. Okay, go,

201
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 4: if you think you can strike gold, go mining. Have

202
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:33,359
Speaker 4: at it. We'll take the player. And for the Ravens,

203
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 4: you know, we talk about the changing of the head coach.

204
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 4: We talk about these near misses, and there have been

205
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 4: near misses, but guess what, they all count the same.

206
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 4: A loss is a loss. You tell me about a

207
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 4: bad punt return, you tell me about a drop pass

208
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 4: or a field goal miss, whatever, they all count the same.

209
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 4: It's it's an l and you all went home, which means,

210
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 4: don't leave it to the margins and go find an

211
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 4: impact playmaker. And as we've chronicled, Extend and sib Leland

212
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 4: will continue to do so as the new year league

213
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 4: year starts. Man, how many free agents do you look

214
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 4: at and go, yep, that's the guy. Linder Balm's the

215
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 4: only guy that you've been able to say that. Everybody

216
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 4: else is all right, system fit. What's the ceiling? So

217
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 4: go get Max Crosby. Whether he's he'll be really happy

218
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 4: to go to Baltimore. I mean, you talk about winning

219
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 4: culture and getting away from l after l as much

220
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 4: as he was wanting to be a Raider for life.

221
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 4: He'll have to get that tattoo changed, I think.

222
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: But oh, that's easy. I think that I think that's

223
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: part of the deal. And you're gonna pay to change

224
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: my tattoo. Okay, that's fine. Yeah, we got the best

225
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: guy at Baltimore. Don't worry about it.

226
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 3: Man.

227
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: We can make lind up.

228
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 4: We can make that shield into a crab easy.

229
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: We'll pick you up at the airport. Make sure that happens.

230
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 4: I mean, look, you look at last year. You remember

231
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 4: the Ravens.

232
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: Last year they were really kind of you want to say,

233
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: done in by the first half of the season when

234
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: their defense was absolutely abysmal. Right, it was like, how

235
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: is the defense this bad? How are they giving up

236
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: forty points to Buffalo, and then you know, thirty eight

237
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: points to Detroit thirty seven of Kansas City forty forty

238
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: Houston thirty six is awful in a row like this

239
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: is awful. But that's the start that what killed their

240
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: season because then after the bye week they fixed it.

241
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: They had won five in a row. They come down

242
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: to the final week of the season for the AFC

243
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: North with Pittsburgh. Their defense plays a little bit better. Overall,

244
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: they played better. They fixed a lot of that bye week.

245
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: I don't know that there was a team that had

246
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: a better bye week adjustment last year than the Ravens did.

247
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: But now you're hitting the ground running, new start, new things,

248
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: new energy, and now you have probably you're talking about

249
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: the second most talented person that the Ravens have had

250
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: in the Lamar Jackson era on this team, Max Crosby. Look,

251
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: Derek Henry's terrific, right, I love Derek Henry. Max Crosby

252
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: is the second most talented player that they have had

253
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson run. And that's a huge deal when you

254
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: have guys on either side of the ball like this.

255
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: Now I can't get over there, and this is a

256
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: division that is there for the taking because Cincinnati. You

257
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: know what kind of problems they have. The Browns always

258
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: have problems, right, Pittsburgh didn't even know who their quarterback's

259
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: gonna be because Aaron Rodgers is sitting out again waiting

260
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: like this was the Ravens taking a big move and saying, hey,

261
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna grab hold of the AFC North right now.

262
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: And again, I don't know what the rest of the

263
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: offseason is gonna hold. I don't know who's gonna be

264
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: able to take somebody somewhere else where. Everybody's going free agency,

265
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: but free agency ain't that great. And I can't believe

266
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: a team's gonna ace the draft more. But I'll tell

267
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: you they should win the division. They should be a

268
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: big playoff threat. It's not gonna get any better than

269
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: the Ravens getting Max Crossby.

270
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll get deeper into the Raiders side of things,

271
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 4: because well, now you got a couple more bites at

272
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 4: the proverbial apple that you have to get right in

273
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 4: this whole reset. But yeah, for the Ravens, it's everything.

274
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 4: And I'm only half kidding about our guy Joe, because

275
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 4: he's got to be looking around. What did I do

276
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 4: to deserve you?

277
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

278
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, that's all right. Joe's got some time to

279
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: get out. It's okay, Cincinnati, they drafted me, He's got

280
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: some time.

281
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, this wasn't my choice.

282
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: This is like every other week. I have to be

283
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: staring over my left shoulder, looking at the looking at

284
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: my blind side like every.

285
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 4: Single in his offensive reality stunk every year too. So yeah,

286
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 4: here's another two weeks.

287
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: Good luck, Joe Burrow, good luck.

288
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith

289
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven

290
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 2: pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

291
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: On hand taking in the big fifteen to five win

292
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: MLB Network insider Extraordinary John Paul Morosi, who is going

293
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: to actually produce a documentary detailing all of the walks

294
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: that Team USA had tonight, John Paul, good luck.

295
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 6: There were a lot of walks, There's no question about it.

296
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 6: And sometimes you get those moments in a World Baseball

297
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 6: Classic where a team with perhaps a little less pitching

298
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 6: depth than what the Americans have end up having to

299
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 6: go to some relievers that can't locate the baseball. And

300
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 6: yet in the same night you also get Aaron Judge

301
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 6: homering in his very first World World Baseball Classic. At bat,

302
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 6: you get Lucas Ramirez, son of Manny Ramirez, homering twice.

303
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 6: You get young Joseph Contreras getting Bobby Witt Junior, or

304
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 6: rather getting judged to ground into a double play. You

305
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 6: get Thomas Lopez from Columbia University striking out Bobby Witt Junior.

306
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 6: So you just have all these amazing moments within the

307
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 6: larger continuum, and at the end of the day, of course,

308
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 6: a team USA with a rather emphatic victory on the

309
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 6: final score line, even though there were some nervy moments

310
00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 6: in the middle. So the US wins, Mexico wins, and

311
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 6: all things remain pointing to a pretty big showdown in

312
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 6: this tournament between the US and Mexico on Monday night

313
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 6: here in Houston.

314
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: You know, that's what I like about the World Baseball Classic,

315
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: John Paul, because watching the announcers say things like and

316
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: here is Joseph Contrera, seventeen year old out of high school.

317
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: He's missing ap English, a big test this week to

318
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: be here. He's got the big Spring Bakeoff fundraiser coming up. Boy,

319
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: what a great time for him. His team is going

320
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: to be in the district playoffs when he gets back

321
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: to high school. Here he is against Aaron Judge with

322
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: the bases loaded like it's just insane when you hear that,

323
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: noting things like that, I love.

324
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 6: It and I love it. And again, there's plenty of time.

325
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 6: There's plenty of time for conversations about games during the season,

326
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 6: when they call somebody up from Triple A or they

327
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 6: call somebody up from Double A.

328
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 3: We're calling up.

329
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 6: Guys from high school in this tournament. And again, by

330
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 6: the time you get to the end, and it's maybe

331
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 6: the US and the Dominicans or the US and Japan,

332
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 6: these are matchups that we're familiar with and and that

333
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 6: won't be as much of a surprise. But until that happens,

334
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 6: you have to sort of accept that there will be

335
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 6: the equivalent of the number one seed against the number

336
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 6: sixteen seed in the in the NCAA tournament. And again

337
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 6: you get you get your one shining moment at the end.

338
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 6: To borrow the basketball March Madness theme, and you get

339
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 6: the same thing here. So this is this was the

340
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 6: one versus the sixteen today and and yet there were

341
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 6: some moments that Brazil could feel very proud of and

342
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 6: and hopefully helps them grow the game a bit in

343
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 6: their country because they get a chance to play em

344
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 6: USA on this stage for the first time. Of course,

345
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 6: the last time they played in the Classic they were

346
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 6: over in Japan, so it's it's a different story for

347
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 6: them and and winning for them even when you lose

348
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 6: on the scoreboard. Winning looks like the moments that we

349
00:16:59,040 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 6: saw tonight.

350
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 4: Obviously, I'm concerned with the lack of operational efficiency even

351
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 4: though they covered the nine and a half run differential here. Yeah,

352
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 4: turn more of these into runs here JP. But in

353
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 4: all seriousness, all the legacy players Ramirez, Bishett Junior, Contreras,

354
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 4: all of this stuff like, that's the other part of

355
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 4: it one. It reminds me I'm old. But talking about

356
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 4: the next generation coming up and being put on the

357
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 4: big display as well. One of the other great subplots

358
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 4: to this tourney.

359
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,239
Speaker 6: Yes, and Bobby wod Junior, by the way, on the

360
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,479
Speaker 6: American side, we were actually talking about that on our

361
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 6: World Feed broadcast and how the rosters were all coming

362
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 6: together in the familiar names. Actually, tonight I got a

363
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 6: chance to speak to Manny Ramirez. I went up to

364
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,479
Speaker 6: the crowd and talk to Manny. He actually told me

365
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 6: that it was his dream as a kid to be

366
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 6: a left handed hitter. Of course he was, and he

367
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 6: batted right hand and one of the best right handed

368
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 6: swings ever. And so he deliberately taught his son to

369
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 6: bat left handed because he wanted to do it and

370
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 6: didn't have a chance to. And he actually told he

371
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 6: told me, he said, I had my son watch a

372
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 6: lot of video of David Ortiz, not his own video,

373
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 6: but Big five.

374
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 4: That's awesome.

375
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 6: And then when I talked to Jose, I said, hey,

376
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 6: what were you thinking when your son was facing Aaron

377
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 6: Judge And he says to me in Spanish, he said,

378
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 6: my heart was racing and I was praying. Those are

379
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 6: the two things. He said. My heart was racing and

380
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 6: I was praying. And obviously it all worked out. He

381
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 6: got the double play ball, and he said, certainly, yeah,

382
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 6: you know, he would have liked to have seen maybe

383
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 6: a couple of different pitches located. But my goodness, Jose

384
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 6: was so proud of his son. He sounded like both

385
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 6: a pitching coach and a dad in that moment. Was

386
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 6: just really really thrilled to be able to congratulate Jose

387
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 6: in person. Of course, they were like sitting one section apart,

388
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 6: like Manny was sitting here and then contre was sitting there.

389
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 6: Of course, on opposite sides of the Yankee Red Sox.

390
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 3: Rivalry at one point in time.

391
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 6: Just a really special, special day all the way around.

392
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: Now, John Paul am I okay, because because neither Justin

393
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: nor Mike liked that, I'm going to say this, but

394
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 1: my dad is the biggest Yankee fan in the world.

395
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: Me being the Mets fan, I always want to take

396
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: a chance to tweak him. I think I'm completely within

397
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: my rights to say to him, Dad, your era judge

398
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: can't even hit high school pitching. And I'm telling the truth.

399
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not trying. I'm telling the truth when

400
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: I say something, Well.

401
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 6: Hey, listen, it's a it's a round bat and a

402
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 6: round ball, and you never know where it's going to

403
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 6: go from here to there. He did at a home

404
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 6: run that just land into my hotel room in the

405
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 6: first sitting, So that was pretty good. I thought in

406
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 6: the nearly homer to center field as well. So I

407
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 6: thought judges that baths overall were really good. Again, like,

408
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 6: what's the probably talking about that double play for a while,

409
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 6: it'll it'll be something that people mentioned, but in general,

410
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 6: I thought Aaron had excellent at bats And again, he's

411
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 6: the captain of this team. He's he's the one that

412
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 6: Mark the Ross is looking to to set the tone,

413
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 6: and I think he's done a great job of that

414
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 6: so far. You can really tell how much the players

415
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 6: are enjoying being his teammate, and that includes Harper, that

416
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 6: includes Schooble. These guys all love being together and I

417
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 6: do think that they've become a true team in a

418
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 6: very short amount of time and that bond certainly, it

419
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 6: gets stronger when you win, and that to me is

420
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 6: the is the next big question. What can they finish

421
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 6: this off? Can they win one more game than they

422
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 6: did last time around? And I think that will be

423
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 6: the true test of the success of this team USA.

424
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 6: At the twenty twenty sixth.

425
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 4: Classes pull back, obviously, the greatness and excitement of the

426
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 4: each nation, the crowd as they're walking in and you're

427
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 4: experiencing the folks they're in Houston. What's the general atmosphere there?

428
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 6: Jp out Benning, I thought that and honestly, the first

429
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 6: crowd for the Mexico Great Britain game was fantastic, certainly

430
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 6: very very pro Mexico, which will be the case, I'm

431
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 6: sure when Mexico plays the US. I think that's going

432
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 6: to be probably a fifty five forty five matchup, maybe

433
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 6: sixty forty in favorite of Mexico. But I thought both

434
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 6: crowds were excellent. I think that the crowd was up

435
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 6: in the upper midter upper thirties for the US game.

436
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 6: Not quite a sellout, but loud, really engaged. Houston's a

437
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 6: great place to play this and I've been in Houston

438
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 6: a lot over my life. The people here are amazing

439
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 6: and they do a very good job of hosting big events,

440
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 6: Final Four, Super Bowl, obviously a lot of World Series.

441
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 6: It's almost surprising it's taken this long for a World

442
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 6: Baseball Classes to come here is of course it's the

443
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 6: sixth edition, but I think that Miami is a phenomenal

444
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 6: place to host it. The ballpark here in Houston is

445
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 6: I think it's. The amenities for the fans really good.

446
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 6: I think it's a great place to watch a game,

447
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 6: really great atmosphere. So there are a lot of wonder

448
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 6: the ballparks that you could host this event at. Certainly

449
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 6: seen it in California, before San Francisco, La San Diego,

450
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 6: ben in Arizona. I just think this is one of

451
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 6: the better atmospheres to play it in. And I'm really

452
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 6: glad Houston's got its opportunity and it's going to have

453
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 6: that great blend. And when you get Mexico in the

454
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 6: US at Saint Pool, you're going to really draw well

455
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 6: for both teams. And I think those games, especially when

456
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 6: Mexico plays at night on Sunday against Brazil, when they

457
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 6: play against the US, when they play against Italy and

458
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 6: which should be a really important game, I think we'll

459
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 6: get three great crowds out of those Mexico games that

460
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 6: are all happening in the evening.

461
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: John Paul Morose, the MLB Network insider from Houston, as

462
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: he took in the United States, is fifteen to five

463
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: win over Brazil. Now looking at the one game I

464
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 1: would obviously have the one game to look at tonight.

465
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 1: The lineup looks incredible. The lineup looks locked in. They

466
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: didn't chase bad pitches. They took what was there for them.

467
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: If I said to you, hey, your biggest concern for

468
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: the United States, is it the bullpen? Is it the

469
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: lack of depth starting pitching wise, especially, School is gonna

470
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 1: play one game and out, Like, what would you say

471
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: would be the biggest uh, the biggest thing for the

472
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: United States going forward.

473
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 6: It's a great question. And I'll say this, there is

474
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 6: nothing roster related that worries me. I really, I don't.

475
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 6: I don't have a worry if if if there's any

476
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 6: if they don't win, it's not it will not be

477
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 6: because of there's that there's a flaw on this roster.

478
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 6: The roster is about as well constructed as you could

479
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 6: possibly imagine. I like, there's some youth there. Terrang is

480
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 6: a little younger, Anthony is a little younger, and then

481
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 6: the rest the rest of the group. There's just there's

482
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 6: no way that anyone could argue with really any of

483
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 6: the selections in my opinions, and even pitching wise, it's

484
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 6: interesting the you know walk up pitch so well, uh

485
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 6: Web I thought was really good. Of course he gave

486
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 6: up the early homer, but that was it, uh Like,

487
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 6: no hits after that. So I think in general, you know,

488
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 6: maybe they're still a way for School to stay around

489
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 6: for one more start. I'd love to see it. I

490
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 6: know a lot of people were on the game. Would

491
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 6: love to see it. Certainly he has started. He's starting

492
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 6: early enough to be able to come back, So I'm

493
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 6: not gonna say starting pitching is a concern because I

494
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 6: thought Web was really good. They've got really good piggyback situations.

495
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 6: Now I like what I'm seeing, and so I really

496
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,199
Speaker 6: I have no concerns, just outside of the randomness of

497
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 6: baseball and how the best team doesn't always win. There's

498
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 6: nothing to really be worried about with this team. And

499
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 6: I thought Miller tonight maybe wasn't the most efficient inning

500
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 6: to start, but he's able to rescue it. So I

501
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 6: think tm USA chucked a lot of boxes. It was

502
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 6: a really successful first night for them.

503
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 3: Now.

504
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 4: I used to watch Chinese type Ai dominate the Little

505
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 4: League World Series on ABC's Wide World of Sports as

506
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 4: a kid. They got drubed thirteen nothing show Hayo Todi

507
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 4: with the Grand Slam. Are we going for the crash

508
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 4: course eventually to meet up with Japan in the final?

509
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 6: Not necessarily, because I think that the Azuela's got a

510
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 6: really good team. The Dominicans have a really good team.

511
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 6: Mexico is a scary team I think for a lot

512
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 6: of people, So I actually I do agree with the

513
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 6: premise that the US probably has the best roster in

514
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:22,199
Speaker 6: this tournament, the second best. I think. Again, Japan plays

515
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 6: in this tournament so well, They've got the best player

516
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 6: in the planet. Maybe not quite as dominant as starting

517
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 6: staff as they had last time.

518
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 3: But it's still really good.

519
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 6: But I put the Dominicans right in the same class,

520
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 6: and I thought Venezuela had a really, really impressive first

521
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 6: first game as well, So for me, I don't look

522
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 6: at it as inevitable at all. I think it's important

523
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 6: to point out that we've had five classics in the past,

524
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 6: and US versus Japan has been the final game exactly

525
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 6: once and that was last time. So I don't see

526
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 6: it as being inevitable. I think it's possible, maybe even likely,

527
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 6: but not inevitable because of the quality of the Dominicans,

528
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 6: the Venezuelans, the Mexicans, a lot of teams that I

529
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 6: think we have not even heard the best from yet

530
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 6: that could potentially be spoiler. And you mentioned the struggles

531
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 6: of the Taiwanese team against Japan. I think the one

532
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 6: team minute that could emerge from that pool. It's going

533
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 6: to be a great matchup between Korea and Australia more

534
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 6: than likely that will decide the second bid out of

535
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 6: the Tokyo Pool. And I think those are two really

536
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 6: good teams that are that are I think that have

537
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 6: taken big steps since the last Classic.

538
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at John Morosi, that is at John

539
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: Morosi from the World Baseball Classic in Houston. John Paul

540
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: enjoyed the weekend. We'll talk to you next week where

541
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: maybe the United States will be facing a fourteen or

542
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 1: fifteen year old pitcher at some point.

543
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 6: I think it's this mark my words, my friends, this

544
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 6: will be the easiest game the Americans play all tournament.

545
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 6: It will only get harder from here.

546
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: Take it easy, buddy, enjoy the way. We'll talk to

547
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: you next week.

Speaker 4: If you swallow the ending, it works all right.

554
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can make any almost work with the proper

555
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: beat that kind of comes over that second syllable.

556
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 4: You can. You can make that happen.

557
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we are and I keep my fingers scrawled,

558
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: you know. I always like to say I say this

559
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: out loud and we make it happen. You know, the

560
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 1: last couple of nights you said, hey, look, you know

561
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: it's a it's a good night in the NBA.

562
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 4: When there's ten games.

563
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: If we get one of them, that's close, right, because

564
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: this is the air of the NBA we're in right now, right,

565
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: we don't get close games now and this doesn't happen. Hey,

566
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: we got some close games about that. Yeah, Hey, we

567
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: got the Warriors and the Rockets at one on one

568
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: a piece with one tenth of a second left in

569
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, Piston Spurs, third quarter, eight point game,

570
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: still a good game. So okay, we're all right with

571
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 1: that magic beat the Mavericks one fifteen, one fourteen, or.

572
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 4: We got some close guys. I say it.

573
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: I'm can make it happen, Mike car and make it

574
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: put it out there in the universe. This is why

575
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: when Frostburg says stuff like good at jitsu, getting Derek Carr.

576
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 4: Like, I'm worried that's actually going to tell me they aren't.

577
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 1: That's we're getting get into. We're getting to a end,

578
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 1: Derek Carr Hackenberg. But that's the problem. The level of

579
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: success means that some of the inane things that we

580
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 1: shout out just to get under your skin or you

581
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: guys do to get under mind, some of those are

582
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: gonna come true. Just the track record has just been

583
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: so good. Now, there was a foul call that was

584
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: being reviewed in the final seconds of that Rockets Warriors

585
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: game where Kevin Durant challenged and got ball, but as

586
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: he did the follow through, you got some some contact

587
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: and instead, well, now we get our end game where

588
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: we've got point three left and an inbounds play to

589
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: to try to win it.

590
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 4: But yeah, chaos, we got close games.

591
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: Man.

592
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 4: The over under we we hope for in a full

593
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 4: slate is one and a half.

594
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: Audam, the dude, you go right to the betting so fast.

595
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: I know something is up with you. That's the bed

596
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: that you're gambling on it.

00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 4: I know you're gambling.

598
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: I know you're like an out of control gambling now

600
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: you know, I want to be up on this because

601
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: gambling is a bigger deal now, and we talked about

602
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: you go straight to it, man, like it's your first thing.

603
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 4: It's like me.

604
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: It used to wake up in the morning, going, what

605
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: do I want something chocolate? It's eight thirty. Yeah, yeah,

606
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: I gotta have something chocolate right now.

607
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 4: I gotta wake up. That hasn't changed. You go, you

00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 4: go right, you go right to the gambling.

609
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: Now chocolate is going away. It's not even closing. No,

610
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: And I wait, I wait till chocolate l.

611
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 3: No.

612
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you did usually the right side of ten, you know, yeah, right,

613
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: sou because you're normally not getting up till about ten,

614
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: so I mean straight out of bed.

615
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 4: But let's not let let's not conflate this. And you go.

616
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 4: You go right to the gambling so fast.

617
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: Now it's almost like I feel like any conversation that

618
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: you might have off the air goes right to gambling.

619
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: How you doing tonight? I well, you know, you know,

Speaker 1: It was eight to one. The sun was going to

622
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: be out by ten o'clock to morning, and now you

623
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: know we had it. We had the sun at seven thirty.

624
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: So I'm feeling pretty happy. You know, tomorrow next couple

625
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: of days is going to be kind of a gloomy day,

626
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: so I wouldn't go sun tomorrow. But you know, Son,

627
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: today was a right call. Do you have the odds

628
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: on Jason leaving us for Wendy's in the next week.

629
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 4: Oh, that's that's even money right now. Okay, Wendy's might

630
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 4: actually be be a slight favorite. You know, let's talk

631
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 4: about this for a second. Okay, before we get.

632
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: This's got a big deal.

633
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 4: This is the big story developing after a week of chaos.

634
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 4: I in the fast casual kind of dining experience. I

635
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 4: always say, there's very little jobs that would be open

636
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 4: to me that I would leave doing this for right,

637
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 4: very little. Like if you said to me, you could

638
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 4: be the play by play voice of the match. You

639
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 4: have to travel to the pesky away games. Okay, I

640
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 4: do all the home games. Yeah, I would do it.

641
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: If I could just make me my you know, my

642
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: big what I do every off season where I invite

643
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: NFL coaches and we go over time management two minutes

644
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: of games coaches that need that. And make a lot

645
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: of money at that. But it's kind of a side hustle.

646
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: But if I could turn into a full time gig,

647
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: absolutely hundred percent certain gigs and now I found one

648
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: that maybe now here. This is the best part is

649
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: I could still do this because it's an at home thing,

650
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: and I already put out on social media for it.

Speaker 4: except for Dave Thomas himself. It's frozen.

682
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: It's frozen ice cream that they put in a cup

683
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: that's impossible to eat. You have to get a drink

684
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: in addition to getting a frost that's it. It's a

685
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: it's a dessert treat. It is not a misake.

686
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,600

868
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 3: news is not Max Crosby, but it's the chance that

869
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 3: the New York Jets could bring back Gino Smith.

870
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: Okay, for first of all, First of all, let me

871
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: just say this. Gino Smith is going to be cut

872
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 1: by the Raid. Of course, every quarterback is on the

873
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: Jets list, but I had to see the day Frank

874
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 1: Reich say, you know, she reports that, you know Frank Wright,

875
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: new Jets offensive Cordy, who of course was out of

876
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 1: football last year, say.

877
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 3: That me, he was not out of football last year.

878
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 3: He was not. He was the coach of the Stanford Cardinal.

879
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: He was out of the NFL. Sorry, he was out

880
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: of the last year out of the NFL. I was

881
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: I was gonna say something funny. Of course he's out

882
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 1: of football, he's the coach of Stanford. But I want

883
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 1: to be nice to.

884
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:33,240
Speaker 3: You want, but you you missed the opportunity. He should

885
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,720
Speaker 3: have gone for the juggler, because I did with Gino

886
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 3: Smith that you're going to be buying another Geno Smith

887
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 3: Jersey year. No, because I Saturday there we go. No, no, no, no, no, no.

888
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: First of all, we're getting First of all, we're getting

889
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,399
Speaker 1: Derek Carr. And if we're not getting Derek Carr, we're

890
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 1: getting Tua. And if we're not getting Tua, hey, guess what.

891
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: According to reports today, Frank Wright might want Carson Wentz

892
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: to run his system because he knows it so well,

893
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 1: which means we're fully tanking in twenty twenty seven. So

894
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: I'm actually okay with that. But I could have to

895
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: watch Carson Wentz play quarterback to the.

896
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 3: Last year. Yeah, and how many how many straight years

897
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 3: do you have? Like this is the whole point of

898
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 3: why you don't trade your good players, which is now

899
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 3: we get to the Max Crosby part of this, Like,

900
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 3: you can rebuild the team fairly quickly in the NFL.

901
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 3: You don't have to suck every year. Wasn't here the

902
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 3: Jets and you're run by Woody Johnson?

903
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: Yeah? Gee, there's no lives there, you know.

904
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,760
Speaker 3: Gina, Gino, Gene, can.

905
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,800
Speaker 1: You imagine when we have a three way quarterback competition

906
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: next year between Wentz and Gino and Tua? How great

907
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: is that going to be?

908
00:42:55,600 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 3: Let's talk about Max Crosby. No, the first time I've

909
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 3: ever wanted to talking about something serious.

910
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't.

911
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 3: I can't. I can't. I can't talk about I can't

912
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 3: talk about the Jets in that quarterback situation. It's too vulgar.

913
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: So okay, Jacole, am I the only one you know

914
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: we're talking about this. I would have given up more

915
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,879
Speaker 1: for Max Crosby than two first round picks like this.

916
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: Guy is the the ultimate plug and play. You got

917
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: him for three or four more great years like this.

918
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,479
Speaker 1: He's an absolute terror and a lunatic in the best

919
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: way possible.

920
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm surprised the prices, it is cheap. I really

921
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 3: am ill the pick for some for this year. I

922
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 3: always thought you could have gotten to you could have

923
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 3: gotten one more thing out of that of like a

924
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,399
Speaker 3: third round pick or a second round pick. You could

925
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:58,839
Speaker 3: have waited it out a little bit longer. I don't

926
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 3: know what the rush is for the for the Raiders

927
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 3: and the other side is. And I said this, you know,

928
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 3: in response to the story that Mike Silver wrote this

929
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 3: week about Alex Guero and sort of the lack of

930
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 3: leadership within the Raiders' organization and what's going on. I

931
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 3: think something needs to have a heard tart talk with

932
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 3: Tom Brady and say, look, if you really want to

933
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 3: turn this organization around him, run and run it. You

934
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 3: have to be there. Well. I like Tom a lot,

935
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 3: and you know, obviously a great football mind and all

936
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 3: these other things. But either you're the owner or you're not.

937
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 3: Either you're involved in changing this or you're not. Because

938
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 3: the one thing that is important about ownership is that

939
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 3: you're there in the building on a regular basis and

940
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 3: that people understand that this is important to you and

941
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 3: that you're forcing them to, you know, to be at

942
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,320
Speaker 3: the top of their game all the time when they're working.

943
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 3: And what's happened is, you know, Mark Davis is you know,

944
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 3: I mean, look, Mark Davis is a clown and you

945
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 3: know cares more about the Aces at this point because

946
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 3: they don't embarrass him on a regular basis like the

947
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 3: Raiders do. But you know, Mark Davis doesn't know what

948
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 3: he's doing. He doesn't know how to hold people accountable.

949
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 3: He just screams at the coach all the time because

950
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 3: he thinks that that's the way the best way to

951
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,320
Speaker 3: do business. He doesn't understand what it takes to actually

952
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 3: be good in football. So like you guys start all

953
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,839
Speaker 3: over from the top to try and fix this thing.

954
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 3: And that's what Tom presumably wanted to do when he

955
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 3: got involved in this. But he's off doing all these

956
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,800
Speaker 3: other things, like you know, this game that was supposed

957
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 3: to be in Saudi Arabia that I was actually getting

958
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 3: moved in, the whole TV career, and all the other

959
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 3: things that Tom is doing. You know, he's on social

960
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 3: media more than more than ever. So like go up

961
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 3: and run team.

962
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 4: On the other side, we get the the ravens Lamar

963
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,839
Speaker 4: Jackson in that next phase of his career. Still need

964
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 4: some offensive help, don't need to replace the center, but

965
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 4: defensively that was the big missing component all season long.

966
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 4: I mean, where do you put him in the pantheon

967
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 4: of the a FC now? And is Joe Burrow looking

968
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 4: for greener pastures to get out of the AFC North.

969
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 3: It's just a matter of time before Joe Burrow realized

970
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 3: he's Oh, yeah, I'm in Cincinnati. Oh yeah, this is bad. Yeah,

971
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 3: this is good. I want to win. Like maybe I

972
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,479
Speaker 3: could go to the Jets. That might actually be better.

973
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 4: I don't know, best joke I've ever told. I don't know.

974
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 3: I don't know, as I wasn't really being serious in

975
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 3: case you didn't realize that, but I am serious about

976
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow realizing Yeah, Mike Brown, yeah that's not going

977
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:09,320
Speaker 3: to work. I'll say, yeah, Look, I think Max Trosby

978
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 3: is a really great first step and obviously improves their

979
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 3: pass rush significantly. And they and they got over this

980
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 3: idea that you can, oh, we're just going to have

981
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 3: like five really good pass rushers and then looks a

982
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 3: lot and use you know, Kyle Hamilton a lot and

983
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 3: all these other things to fake it so that we

984
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 3: don't have to have a guy who's tours to drink. No,

985
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 3: you generally have to have a guy who stirs to drink.

986
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 3: You can't have a guy who's really great at it,

987
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:39,919
Speaker 3: and you're really better off if you have two of them.

988
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 3: And I don't think that the Ravens yet have the

989
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 3: other guy that they got to get. Crosby's a great

990
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 3: first move. Give them a lot credit for that. I

991
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 3: think they need to get another guy, either into your

992
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 3: guy or guy on the other side who can be

993
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 3: a complimentary piece. He doesn't have to be a guy

994
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 3: who gets fifteen sacks this season, but the guy gets

995
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 3: some These guys opportunities for other people probably get somewhere

996
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 3: in the area of, you know, eight, nine, ten. So

997
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,399
Speaker 3: I don't think that they're quite done with what they're

998
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 3: trying to do, but at least they broke out of

999
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 3: that idea of trying to fake it until you make it, yeah,

1000
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 3: by getting Crosby. So that's our first really good moves

1001
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 3: to lamar Man like he just wasn't right after September,

1002
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 3: and like we all know that the wheels eventually come

1003
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 3: off when you're running quarterback. I want to see him

1004
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,840
Speaker 3: healthy again. I want to see him he's got to

1005
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,919
Speaker 3: be able to run to set up all the other

1006
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 3: things that he wants to do now. He doesn't have

1007
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 3: to be a guy who runs twelve times a game,

1008
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 3: but he has to be when he takes his spots

1009
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 3: to run, he has to be really affected because the

1010
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 3: defense has to account for it so that you can

1011
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:57,280
Speaker 3: open up some other chances. I mean, I give Lamar

1012
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 3: Jackson an incredible amount of credit for what he than

1013
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 3: in his career to make himself a much better passer

1014
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 3: than I ever thought he was going to become. You know,

1015
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 3: he really really worked hard at his craft. But still

1016
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 3: there is a fundamental part of his game that is

1017
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 3: dependent upon his legs setting up his ability to throw.

1018
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: You weren't kidding sudden, You're like I wanted, just but serious.

1019
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,720
Speaker 1: You've ever been with us now when we're not, okay,

1020
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:35,360
Speaker 1: most serious? You weren't even this series we talked about

1021
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: not voting for Belichick for the Hall of Fame. You

1022
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:38,879
Speaker 1: still had more time.

1023
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 3: I did vote Belichick. Don't do that to me. I

1024
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 3: voted for Belichick.

1025
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean the colloquial you. I mean you

1026
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:48,799
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame not didn't vote for.

1027
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:51,479
Speaker 3: Belichilla jack Other people didn't vote.

1028
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 4: He can't speak for Tony Dungee lead him alone.

1029
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 3: For him, I voted for him, and I voted for

1030
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,399
Speaker 3: his girlfriend to make the Hall of Fame too, Yes,

1031
00:49:59,520 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 3: there you go.

1032
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: I had all kinds of Belichicks and Hudson's all down

1033
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 1: my lady.

1034
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 3: Yeah Belichick his daughter who's a lacrosse coach, She's in

1035
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame too. I voted for every Belichick

1036
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 3: he could possibly find. His x Y, Debbie. I don't

1037
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 3: even think she called himself Belichick anymore. She goes in

1038
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,840
Speaker 3: all of them.

1039
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:25,240
Speaker 4: Nice.

1040
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 1: But still, despite your efforts, you couldn't get Bill Belichick

1041
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 1: into the Hall of Fame. Other players with lesser careers

1042
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 1: you put in right away. Hey, let's let's back it

1043
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 1: up to let other guys in. Sure, let's let Terrell

1044
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: Davis and the guy at two and a half great seasons,

1045
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: let's put him in the Hall of Fame.

1046
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 3: That's fine, thanks, thanks. Tarrell Davis does not have two

1047
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 3: and a half great seasons. He had four. He had

1048
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:57,439
Speaker 3: three great seasons and one very good season. And and

1049
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 3: look at the look at the postseason. The man had

1050
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 3: twelve hundred and fifty yards in eight postseason games. So

1051
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 3: let's not go there with Drell Davis. The man was

1052
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 3: on pace for to set an NFL rushing record in

1053
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 3: the in playoff game situation.

1054
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: But I can't. But I can't put it. My pamp

1055
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 1: put a guy in for stuff he didn't do, or

1056
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:24,320
Speaker 1: if he was on he was on pace to do well.

1057
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 3: The things that he just did, the twelve hundred and

1058
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 3: fifty yards and however many touchdowns in eight playoff games

1059
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 3: and the seven and one record, I can put him

1060
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 3: in with that. Okay, thank you, mister. I want to

1061
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 3: find a way to snipe at me a little bit

1062
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 3: more and blame me for Belichick. I'm not the reason

1063
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 3: Belichick didn't get in. Don't blame me.

1064
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 1: See, I think you didn't vote for him, but you

1065
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 1: switched your ballot with Tony Dungeye, and he's getting all

1066
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: this flack right now. I think that's what happened. You

1067
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:56,839
Speaker 1: didn't vote, You crossed off his name and wrote in

1068
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:57,359
Speaker 1: your name.

1069
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's that's that's one of the most believable

1070
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 3: arguments you've ever made.

1071
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: I don't know you guys didn't put Belichick in the

1072
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame.

1073
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:10,400
Speaker 3: I don't know the guy who maybe is a little

1074
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 3: suspicious that the Chetah cheated a little bit during his game.

1075
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 3: Maybe that guy didn't vote for him. I don't know

1076
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 3: that for a fact. Tony has not said what he

1077
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 3: did or didn't do. But it's much more likely in

1078
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 3: this discussion that I'm the one telling the truths here.

1079
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 3: Let's just say that and not you with your you know,

1080
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 3: Fox Space reporting.

1081
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,839
Speaker 1: Right now, Tony Dungee's listening to the show going Now,
