I think Mel's 38 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: got three quarterbacks going in the top five Burrow two 39 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: of and Justin Herbert. So mel Kiper will join us 40 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: a little bit later on. Have a poll question. We 41 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 1: will also have a play of the day and a 42 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: stat of the day or two. The Astros have turned 43 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: the lifespan of a scandal on its head. And normally 44 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: scandal has burned the brightest right after the wrongdoing is revealed, 45 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: and then they become a little less fascinating to everyone 46 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: every day after that. But Baseball's decision not to punish 47 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,679 Speaker 1: the Astros has left to void. Now players around Baseball 48 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: or filling that void with strong opinions of the Astros. 49 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: Every day, another player in spring training is coming forward, 50 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: even athletes from other sports. Now Lebron James is weighing 51 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: in on this somewhat unprecedented. Some of this during the 52 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: steroid era, but that criticism wasn't really widespread. It's open 53 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 1: season on the Astros, and the media, of course, is 54 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: eating it up. These comments make for great sound bites. 55 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: Fans seem to feel the same way, and maybe they 56 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: need to start playing some real games to move on. 57 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,239 Speaker 1: That'll help the Astros. But I have a feeling the 58 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 1: regular season will bring a whole new set of issues 59 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: here as the strong reaction to the sign stealing scandal continues. 60 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: I know I've harped on this a lot. I know 61 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 1: Astro fans say, isn't it time to move on? Well, 62 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: we will move on because you know what we're going 63 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: to do now. We are going to cast the movie 64 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: for the Houston Astros scandal. Yes we are. I'm ready 65 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: to start with Jose Altuve. Oh, you're going right to 66 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: the one of the league role. Yes, yes, wow, yes, 67 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: Jose Altuve. There's no other choice to play Jose Altuve 68 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:50,119 Speaker 1: in the Astros twenty seventeen cheating scandal. Does anybody want 69 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: to guess similar size to JOSEL Tuve? I think dead 70 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: on as far as look Tom Cruise. Yeah, Jerry Ferrara 71 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: from Entourage, Yeah, Jerry Ferrara as Jose Altuve. Now you 72 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: have to bulk up a little bit, maybe slash h 73 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: R steroids. And I'm not saying al Twove's on that. 74 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: I'm just saying that Jerry might need to. And I 75 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: think Jerry is an actor is willing to commit to that. 76 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: But Jerry, I'll never have to take a shirt off, 77 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: so it'll be okay because that's oh and then he's 78 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: got to get a tattoo on his collar. Brother, Okay, 79 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: if he's really committed to the role. Then he Shia 80 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: La Boof would get a tattoo. Yeah, yes, boy, Chila 81 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: Boof is my pick for Alex Bregman. If you look 82 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: at him, I think a lot of people would go 83 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: with Chris Pratt because he looks like every middle side, 84 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: middle aged white guy who's in good shape. But if 85 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: you look at Shila Boof, he's very squinty like Alex Bregman. 86 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: The Boof, I don't know what kind of glove he has. 87 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: All right, Now I got to come up with the commissioner. 88 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: Now there's a couple of people, I say, king up 89 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: Chris Chris Maloney from Law and Order, Law and Order 90 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: Detective Stabler. Okay, how about how about him? Do you 91 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: have another suggestion on who would play the committee? Yester? 92 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: You know who? Who's the guy from um He played 93 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: like the henchman in Beverly Hills Cop and he was 94 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: in Breaking Bad. Well, that's a long time hold on. 95 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,239 Speaker 1: Like the tough guy in Breaking Bad. It's kind of bald. 96 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: He kind of always plays the bald tough guy. Okay. 97 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: Jonathan Banks, Jonathan Banks, Jonathan Banks, I would put his 98 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: big Jonathan Banks. Well, you kind of need a younger 99 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: Jonathan Banks. But I think that's pretty spot Oh he 100 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: played Mike Mikey the guy, the tough enforcer guy. I'm 101 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: breaking bad. Oh, I know. I thought it's a different 102 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: guy that guy was in. I thought there was somebody 103 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: else that we were looking at. That's the same guy. 104 00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: That's just from him younger and oh my god, I'm sorry. Yeah, yeah, 105 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: if they use the picture, yeah right, I need the 106 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: younger version of him, right, exactly, yes, boy. Now, aj 107 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: Hinch is easy to cast because we looked up Aja Hinch, 108 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: the former manager of the Astros, and he's always wearing 109 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: a hat, even like out at night with his wife. 110 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: He's about forty five years old. I'm gonna go Woody 111 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: Harrelson for a J Hinch? Would he likable? Would Row? 112 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,239 Speaker 1: He's got shave sides? You crush it, all right? Would Row? Would? Okay, 113 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: here's another one, Aaron Judge, because now you have people 114 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: saying that Aaron Judge lost the MVP. It was stolen 115 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: from him by l Twove Mario. Our very own, our 116 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: very own. Yeah. If you're watching on Audience HNEL two 117 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: thirty nine, Direct TV or BR Live, you'll be able 118 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: to see these side by side pictures here yes, mclovin, 119 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: and then Mario can take those acting tops and play 120 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: Aaron Gordon in the remake dun Cutters movie. Eric Gordon 121 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: like Aaron Judge are famously doppel gang. We're gonna find 122 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: something Mario does well. Yes, point, Mario is about like 123 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: nine inches shorter than that. We bared around that. Yeah, 124 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: oh yeah, we can't. Okay, yeah, most of your actors 125 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: are short, so well, Mario. This program is brought to 126 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: you by True Car. Whether you're buying a new or 127 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: used car, the process can be overwhelming. Now there's a 128 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: better way with Truecar.

Get everything you need with the new 131 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: True Car. I understand everybody's out for blood with the Astros, 132 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: but there's a couple of things that you have to understand, 133 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: and I gave you some of the details here of 134 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: why the commissioner gave the players immunity. He didn't want 135 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: to go after the players' association at very strong union, 136 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: their job is to protect their players. I understand that 137 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: I still would have done that. I would have given 138 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: the appearance that I was going after the Players Association 139 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: or I wasn't afraid of the players' Association. Have you 140 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: just empowered them because you basically say, I don't want 141 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: to get into litigation, I don't want to get into grievances. 142 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: I don't want to get into any of that. And 143 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: I still think you could have gotten enough information from 144 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: the former manager or the former general manager because their 145 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: jobs were in jeopardy and they were going to be fined, suspended, 146 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: and eventually the Astros ended up firing them. I think 147 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: you could have found some information Mike fires the pitchers. 148 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: Now with the Oakland A's he's the one who was 149 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: the whistleblower on this. You could have gotten enough information 150 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: here where maybe you would have gotten the players to 151 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: come forward and say, all right, I'm guilty of this. 152 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: I still go back to if you don't want to 153 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 1: take on the players, you don't want to take on 154 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: the players Association, just take away the trophy. I think 155 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: everybody would feel like, Okay, that's symbolic of now you're 156 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: taking that away. I'm assuming the commissioner has the power 157 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: to vacate the world series title. I'm assuming, but I 158 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: don't know that. But it feels like prior commissioners would 159 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: have that kind of power. I don't know if Rob 160 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: mand has that power to take away the World Series trophy. 161 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: That's been my solution all on. You don't want to 162 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: punish these players, Okay, we're going to take away the 163 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: trophy we think you cheated to win. I can't take 164 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: away your salaries, so I'm not going to find you. 165 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: I'm not going to suspend you. There's nothing I can 166 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: do about this. I'm going to take away the trophy. 167 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: That would be my suggestion. The other part of this 168 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: is all of these players on other teams. If you 169 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: want to rail on the commissioner, which you've done, you know, 170 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: Trevor Bauer called him an idiot. You've got team, you know, 171 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: players from other teams saying that the commissioner really screwed 172 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: this up, Lebron James getting involved in this, which I'll 173 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: talk about Lebron's role in this in a moment. Why 174 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: aren't you railing on the players' association. Your own union 175 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: is defending the players that you want to go after. 176 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: Your union stood up for them. Your union is so 177 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: strong the commissioner didn't want to take on that union. 178 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: I have not heard one players say I'm embarrassed by 179 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: our players association. Does anybody know the head of the 180 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: players union? You probably don't, but you should. Are those 181 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: players mad at Tony Clark? I haven't heard anybody say Tony, 182 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: what are you doing? Why are you protecting them? Nobody 183 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: has said anything like that, and I'm waiting for somebody 184 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: to do that. Did the commissioner make mistakes? Yes he did. 185 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: In my opinion, he's made a few of them. But 186 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna put all the blame on him. I'm 187 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: gonna put the blame on some of these hitters who 188 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: didn't perform against the Astros. There are Dodgers who can 189 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 1: look in the mirror, or they should look in the 190 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: mirror and say, I didn't hit This had nothing to 191 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: do with stealing signs. They are members of the Yankees, 192 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: and the Yankee organization has no business being that critical. 193 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: You're disappointed, you're angry, I get it, but I think 194 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: you've had some problems in the past here that you 195 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: can't be pointing fingers. How well did you do in 196 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: the in that series against the Astros. So there's a 197 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: lot of different facets that are intertwined here, and I 198 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: don't need Lebron. I get Lebron saying this as a fan, like, 199 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: you know, Commissioner, you got to do something here. I 200 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: don't remember Lebron being front and center talking about the 201 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: controversy in China. You know, I don't know if he 202 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: really called out Adam Silver here in China. I'm just staying. 203 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: You know, you want to stay in your lane? This 204 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: would be stay in your lane. Do you want to 205 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: criticize Rob Manfred? Yeah, we want baseball to not reward cheaters. 206 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 1: I get it. But when you start to call out 207 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: a commissioner, I don't know. Kind of hypocritical there, my opinion, 208 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: because we still didn't hear too much from anybody about China, 209 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: did we? And you lost a couple of hundred million 210 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: dollars on that one, So maybe you didn't lose the 211 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: integrity that baseball is losing, or at least a portion 212 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 1: of it by giving the Astros, allowing the Astros to 213 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: keep that trophy. But Lebron timed in and speaking as 214 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 1: a fan here, But I I think I would be 215 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: careful with saying something like that. Also, I'm curious about 216 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: the other teams who aren't saying a word. What's going on? 217 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: In your clubhouse there, because some of these teams, you know, 218 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: the Yankees are ups. I haven't heard anybody from the 219 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: Red Sox. I don't think anybody said anything, right, Yes, 220 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,959 Speaker 1: do you have any thoughts? No? Let the Astros who 221 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: revolved in a cheating scandal. I had heard a lot 222 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: of people quiet. Yeah, So I'm waiting to hear what 223 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: happens with the Red Sox there. Now, did those players 224 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: get immunity? Is it just like who benefited from this? 225 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: I'm assuming somebody was helping somebody with their Apple Watch 226 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: and then gave the information to the players. Did the 227 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: players take that information use that information? Did it help them? 228 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: I'm waiting to see if the Astros they got immunity, 229 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: the Red Sox going to get immunity as well the players? 230 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: Because you want to get to the bottom of this, 231 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: all right, you were off to a rousing start here. 232 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 1: If you want to help cast the Astros twenty seventeen 233 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: sign stealing scandal, good luck with that. Where you already 234 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: got a head start there with a couple of the 235 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: main characters involved in that. Rob Manford did have some comments, 236 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: of course, he is walking back the disrespecting the world 237 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: series trophy. I refer to the World Series Trophy in 238 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 1: a disrespectful way, and I want to apologize for that. 239 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 1: There's no excuse, Sport. I made a mistake. I was 240 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: trying to make a point, but I should have made 241 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,719 Speaker 1: it in a more effective way. And again I want 242 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: to apologize, Sport. I will say this. You know I've 243 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: awarded five World Series trophies. There is no greater pleasure 244 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: in this job than awarding that trophy. I understand what 245 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: it means. And again, it was a mistake to say 246 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: what I said. All right, Okay, made a mistake. And 247 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: I don't know what analogy was trying to make, but 248 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: that's like me saying, hey, you know what, my paycheck 249 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 1: is just a piece of paper. It's a little more 250 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: than that, just like the trophy is just a piece 251 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: of metal. Yes, my glove. To be fair, we made 252 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: fun of Harold read over the gold glove for about 253 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: five years. That was just a keep glove with gold 254 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: spray paint on it. That was that was. But but 255 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: it's not like Harold got it and somebody else didn't. 256 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: Because Harold cheated, right, And I think the symbolism behind 257 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: it was still important. We never talked about the symbolism 258 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: of the actual maybe the World Series trophies not well made, 259 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: just like the Gold Glove. No, I've seen that trophy? 260 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: Is it leg Yeah? Exactly, the worst trophy. It is 261 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: like the Stanley Cup and on Bart Trophy. It's just 262 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: asking to be broken. It just feels like one of 263 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: those banners is going to be broken on there. It 264 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: doesn't look durable, it doesn't look like it will travel well. 265 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: You couldn't put it in the overhead bin. Be careful, 266 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna make a Dustin Turner mad if you say 267 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: anything bad about No. No, hey, it's winning a trophy. 268 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: You know how I feel about trophies. I love trophies. 269 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: That sports Emmy she is gorgeous. I love her. Get 270 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: out of here. You have trophy is true all over 271 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: your house like did random spots? You're not a trophy order? Really? Oh? Yes, 272 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: what do you are? You just getting to know me? Basically, 273 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: I'll walk up, I randomly walk into a room and 274 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: the side room in your basement and there's like a 275 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: trophy there, like a doorstop. I'm not Andrew exactly, He's 276 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: got trophies all over his house. Yeah, I know, but 277 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: I don't feel like they're like presented his life. That's 278 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: not all in a room because he wants to make 279 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: sure in every house that you go into. It's like 280 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: that's another award that I want. Yeah, you can't miss them. 281 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: If you go into the guest bedroom, you should be 282 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: able to see a sports emmy there. Yeah, come on you. 283 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: You don't want to sit on the marconi. That's like random, No, no, no, 284 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: the marconi can hurt you, like that's a sharp object there, 285 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: But you know the sports emmy. I like to have 286 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: people be able to hang their bathroobes on that. Cole. Yeah, 287 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: very very thoughtful. Okay, well what do we have? Pole question? 288 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: WHI is Nclevin? All right, Paul, he had a great question. 289 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: Let's say ten years from now, ten years from now, 290 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: who is the single person that's gonna be most associated 291 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: with this scandal? Choices being al Twove, maybe a J. Hinch, 292 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: maybe Rob Manfred or is it more of a team thing? 293 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: Is there gonna be a face of it? I think 294 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: the commissioner is gonna wear this one, you know, Altove maybe, 295 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: but I don't think the manager is. I don't think 296 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: the general manager is. I think it'll be the maybe 297 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: al Tuove and Rob Manfred because al Tuove is the 298 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: one that is appears to be going to the Hall 299 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: of Fame, that stays with him Manfred as long as 300 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: he's commissioner. If something else comes up where he takes 301 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: on the Players Association or doesn't take on or gives 302 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: players immunity, that'll be interesting to say. Yeah, point, al 303 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: Twove is a weird case because he's twenty nine. His 304 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,479 Speaker 1: past six years have been fantastic hit lea three one, 305 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: three thirteen, three thirty eight, three forty six. But he 306 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 1: won one MVP and a one MVP is twenty seventeen, 307 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: where they're completely proven as a team to be cheating. 308 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 1: So his MVP is almost removed from his Hall of 309 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: Fame case. It could be with the voters. Yeah, there's 310 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: voters already. I think Bill Madden in the New York 311 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: Daily News, a long time baseball writers like you know 312 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: al Twove getting into the Hall of Fame. Good luck 313 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: with that. It's already started. I there's more information that's 314 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 1: going to come out, but at some point we start 315 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 1: to play baseball, we start to move on from this. 316 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: I told Fritzie to reach out to Jason Kendall, former 317 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: All Star catcher who's always got strong opinions. I think 318 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 1: he's third on the all time list of getting hit 319 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: by pitches, so I wanted to talk to him about 320 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: this scandal. I think it's Don Baylor and Craig Bigio 321 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: and then Jason Kendall and the over under in Vegas. 322 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: Of course they have an over under is eighty three 323 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: and a half batters hit by pitches with the Astros here, 324 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: what if I did this in spring training? Now, I don't. 325 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: I'm not an advocate of hitting anybody. I know these 326 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: are the unwritten rules. You've police this way. I like 327 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: how we say baseball police is its own sport. You're 328 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: not allowing them to because if you allow them to police, 329 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: the sport commissioner wouldn't be saying, hey, I don't want 330 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: you to hit in those chaters. You would say, you 331 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: know what, go out there and let's play. You don't 332 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: want to advocate it. But it feels like he's already 333 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: saying it's a preemptive strike. I don't want you to 334 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 1: be thrown. Let's say I'm a minor league pitcher and 335 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: I'm in the Yankees organization, or you know some other organization, 336 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: and I'm not going to make the roster major league roster. 337 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be sent down and being double air triple A. 338 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: What if they send me out there and I just 339 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 1: pop somebody right in the ribs, then what happens? Get 340 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 1: it over with early? I don't know what it. I 341 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: don't know if people are going to go, oh man, yeah, 342 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 1: take that. Now I feel better, because I'm not going 343 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 1: to feel any better because of that. The only way 344 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: I feel better is a fan or like, now we 345 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: have resolution here, Now we have punishment as you take 346 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: away the trophy. That's the only way that you're hurting 347 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,479 Speaker 1: these players, because then you hurt those players in the 348 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: eyes of those fans who went out and rooted for them, 349 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 1: and now our trophy is taken away. That's the only 350 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: way if you're looking to extract some blood here. Yeah, Tod, 351 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: If you have a picture that's not very good throwing, 352 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: and you could just deny that it was, it wasn't 353 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: intentional because you're just not a good pitchure you've got 354 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,360 Speaker 1: no control. Well, that's another thing that I can't throw 355 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 1: inside because now you're thinking I'm going to be thrown 356 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 1: inside with the astros. But it's not stopping, it's not 357 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: ending any time soon. It's just not because it feels 358 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: like every day somebody else steps up to the microphone 359 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: and says something that's controversial, and now the commissioner. Commissioner's 360 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: in over his head with this.

Paulie said that maybe 401 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: you could have Woody Harrelson as a j Hinch. I 402 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: got a suggestion that Vin Diesel could play Alex Cora 403 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 1: so well Street Amaro plays the role of Aaron Judge 404 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: as well.

The NBA League passed free 407 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: from February twenty first through the twenty third. Couple of 408 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: phone calls in here Drew Brees is coming back, Greg 409 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: Olson a one year deal with Seattle. Still waiting on 410 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: Tony Romo here. I was wondering about this with the 411 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: timing because Drew Brees joined us at the Super Bowl 412 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: and I did ask him about would he come back 413 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: or would he weigh the possibility of being a broadcaster 414 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: where he if he took Tony Romo's place, or let's 415 00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: say Monday Night Football was opered, opered tune to him. 416 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: He said he'd like to do media at some point. 417 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: But I'm wondering. Breeze announced he's coming back, Olsen takes 418 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 1: the job with Seattle, and now we're starting to hear 419 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: the word that Tony Romo is close to making up 420 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: his mind where he is going to be employed next year. 421 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: If he stays at CBS, which he should, then that 422 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: leaves maybe Monday Night open. If he goes to Monday Night, 423 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: then that leaves the chair next to Jim NaN's open. 424 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: The fact that he is maybe staying at CBS. Does 425 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: that impact Drew Breese deciding to come back and play 426 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: one more year? Does that impact Greg Olson, who has 427 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: been rumored to be up for some of these big 428 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: jobs there. I'm not sure. Maybe it's just a coincidence, 429 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: but I did wonder that with Breeze and certainly with 430 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: Greg Olson. But Olsen's going to sign to Seattle a 431 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: one year deal and wants to make another run at 432 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 1: getting back to a super Bowl, and Breeze of course 433 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: coming back as well. You know, the domino effect there 434 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: with Breeze is Teddy Bridgewater will be on another team 435 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: next year. Taysom Hill is not going to be a 436 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. He's not gonna be paid like that. I 437 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: know that, you know, if somebody wants to come in 438 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 1: and give him that kind of money. But if he 439 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: the backup quarterback, that's see. I wouldn't have him as 440 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: a backup quarterback. I would have, you know, how to 441 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: bring in our favorite backup quarterback, Chase Daniel. Right, he's 442 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: been in the league twenty four years, I think, so 443 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: I just bring him in one more time. He was 444 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 1: just saint before. Well, once a saint, always a saint. 445 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: But Chase Daniel, bring him in. And Taysom Hill, I'd 446 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 1: have him as my un you know, like Swiss Army knife. Absolutely, 447 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: but he's not going to be a franchise quarterback. But 448 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: that was the domino effect. So where does Teddy Bridgewater go? 449 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: How does that impact some of these other quarterbacks? Andy Dalton, 450 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: Cam Newton, what's going to have Philip Rivers, Jameis Winston, 451 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,880 Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota, what's going to happen in the draft here? 452 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: These things all have an impact on what happens elsewhere, 453 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: and it's not just one or two quarterbacks and teams 454 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 1: that are going to be affected, it's quite a few, Yeah, Paul, 455 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: I'm still most interested in Bridgewater because he had a 456 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: chance to go to Miami last year and he went 457 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 1: back to New Orleans and did well. Like when he 458 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: got in he was five and oh this year could 459 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: TD interception ratio. He seems to be not talked about 460 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: enough in this category. I don't know if he's a 461 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 1: great quarterback. I thought he was solid last year. I 462 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,360 Speaker 1: don't think he's spectacular, but if you want somebody who 463 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: has experience, he played well in the six games when 464 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 1: Drew Brees was out, and I think he won five 465 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: of those games. But Teddy Bridgewater is probably going to 466 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: get a chance to be a starter. And I was 467 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 1: surprised he turned down the Dolphins to stay with the Saints, 468 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 1: unless that was just I don't think I want to 469 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: go into that organization right now and be their starting quarterback. 470 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: By the way, the Dolphins look like they're going to 471 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: keep Josh Rosen on the roster, so now you'd have 472 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,479 Speaker 1: Josh Rosen Ryan Fitzpatrick as well, and then you might 473 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: be drafting TA that's interesting as well. There's no further 474 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: word on what Brady's going to do. I think the 475 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: only word was he's now going to have teams come 476 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: to him. Are they bringing their doctors with them, because 477 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 1: that would be the key. I wan don't know how 478 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 1: healthy Brady was, because there was word late in the 479 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 1: season he was not healthy or he was banged up 480 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 1: a little bit there. But just some of the things 481 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 1: that went on yesterday, the Tony Romo situation. He's going 482 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: to get paid. So now it's not about money because 483 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: whatever ESPN's going to offer, CBS can match that. If 484 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: I'm Tony Romo and I have something great with Jim 485 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: Nance and I get to still play golf, I don't 486 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,679 Speaker 1: have to go on Get Up with Mike Greenberg, I 487 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: don't have to do the Will Kine Show in the afternoon. 488 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: I basically get to do the CBS Main Game and 489 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,199 Speaker 1: I could go golf. He's got little ones and you 490 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 1: want to be around them. ESPN will just drive up 491 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: the price. That's all you want is leverage. You want leverage, 492 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: and he got leverage, and you're going to use that 493 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: to your advantage. But if I'm Tony Romo, stay with 494 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 1: Jim Nance, stay with CBS. You're in great hands there ESPN. 495 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: And I've told this to quite a few of these 496 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: athletes who have become analysts. If you go into ESPN, 497 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,360 Speaker 1: while it's great, understand you're going to be pulled quite 498 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: a few ways. You know, you're going to be doing 499 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,199 Speaker 1: radio shows, TV shows, and then you're gonna do the 500 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 1: Monday night game and then you have to be available 501 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,719 Speaker 1: on Tuesday as well. There's a lot more involved when 502 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: you take that role with ESPN because there's so many 503 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,360 Speaker 1: different entities to serve, and that's what would happen. But 504 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: if I'm Tony Romo, you got one of the great 505 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 1: talents in the history of this industry there with Jim Nance, 506 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 1: and you already have a partnership of friendship established there 507 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: and you can still play golf. To me, it's a 508 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: no brainer. If the money going to be the same, 509 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: no brain. But I wonder if you still keep that lineup, 510 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: if you keep Booger McFarland Joe Test It Tour on 511 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 1: Monday Night. I mean, they have to be This is 512 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 1: really odd and awkward if you're in this business and 513 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: you know people are talking about your job, but you 514 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: can't do anything about it. Joe testa tour play by playboys. 515 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 1: There's nothing he can do. You just wait and maybe 516 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 1: you worry. Booger McFarlane probably has more to be concerned 517 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: about because if they do find a marquee name, then 518 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: he's probably going to get replaced. I don't know if 519 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: you have another voice for Monday Night Football. You know, 520 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: there was talk that, you know, John Gruden loved being 521 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: with Mike Arreco. The word was he didn't enjoy being 522 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: with Sean McDonough. They didn't have the same kind of 523 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: friendship and partnership. If Peyton Manning was going to take 524 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: that job, there was Peyton Manning wanted Mike Tarco to 525 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: be back at Monday Night Football because Mike's not doing 526 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: play by play for NBC. He's waiting for that opportunity 527 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: after al Michaels retires, but Albino is not retiring anytime soon. 528 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: And then I got word, you know, Peyton would love 529 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: to have Mike Tarico, which I can't blame him, but 530 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: that's not happening. And then you know a Rod did 531 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: Sunday Night Baseball and he wanted to have his friend 532 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: Matt vs Gershon in there. Yes, mclub. Sorry if you 533 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: miss this, but TBS has this Super Bowl, so it 534 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: doesn't Romo. That's a big carrot, isn't it for a 535 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: broadcaster to you know, you get that? And then there's 536 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: this report that ESPN wants to make sure they have 537 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: a good announcer for their bid on the Super Bowl, 538 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: but in four years they I think it would be 539 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four, twenty five. Is that something you 540 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: think about for ESPN? They should always be thinking about that. 541 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: Sometimes they overthink Monday night football, or it feels like 542 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: they always overthink Monday night football. It's just if the 543 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 1: games are good, get good broadcasters who have some chemistry 544 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: there and they don't interfere with the game that you 545 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 1: don't like, they compliment the game, that's all. But they've 546 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: tried all of these things, and Tony Kornheiser and then 547 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: Ron Jaworski in there, and you just you got the 548 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: Bookermobile and it's it's just amount Jason Witten in there. 549 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: They just overthink. They're like, hey, let's get a cowboy 550 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: in here. You never thought that. Well, he's not Acman 551 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: or Romo, but hey, he's a cowboy in here. Jason 552 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: Witten wasn't ready for that. Stage. Not many people are 553 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: you know? She subtle dig there by mclovin too. Isn't 554 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: getting to the super Bowl a big character? Tony Roman? 555 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: Oh wow? Too soon? There just isn't that a big car? 556 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: He wants to go to the super Bowl? Oh man, not, 557 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: It's just that's usually your brilliant is subconscious, right Yeah? Yeah, yeah, 558 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: I was one of If ESPN looks at that's the 559 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: other way it says, we don't need to spend twelve 560 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: million million on Romo. We could spend three million on 561 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: Tessa Tour and Booker McFarlane and have the same exact 562 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,080 Speaker 1: ratings for one twenty five percent the price. Because I 563 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: don't know if we're almost going to make people watch 564 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: the game or not. You'll you'll get less criticism on 565 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: social media, but that doesn't necessarily equal dollars. Yeah, but 566 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 1: you got Disney dollars. Who cares about dollars? Anytime you 567 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: could save ten million dollars a year, I bet you're 568 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: doing a good job. I don't. I think that's the 569 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: reason they're there now. I think there's a reason Booger 570 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: and Testorer there now because they're they're those guys would 571 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: kill for that job. That's the biggest stage they're ever 572 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,719 Speaker 1: gonna get. But who were you going to get? That's 573 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: when I say, don't get anybody? But who was available 574 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: where you said, no, we don't want to spend that 575 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: money on Peyton man They would have died over Payton. 576 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: They would have given Peyton Manning fifteen million dollars, no 577 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: problem whatsoever, No problem whatsoever, ten million more for Tony Romo. 578 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: People would be excited about that. You know, that would 579 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: be well worth the money that you would spend just 580 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: on promotion a loan. You're gonna get ten million dollars worth? Yes, don't. 581 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 1: They spend like a billion dollars on this deal? So 582 00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,040 Speaker 1: so an extra ten million is lesson way, lesson on 583 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: percent of that total cost. Everybody spends a billion ten 584 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: million for an announcer is an irritant to that deal 585 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: like that you have to if you're spending a billion, 586 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: don't you want to invest ten million to make it 587 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: the best product available? Yeah, feels like that. You know, 588 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: remember when you first got to NBC and you I 589 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: knew it said this that there were too many maybe 590 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: a few too many voices. Yes, it was like an 591 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: all star team. Yeah, Dick Eversaul likes to collect talent, 592 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 1: and he was my boss then, and really I enjoyed 593 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: it and loved working with Dick Eversol because he does 594 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: take care of talent, and not all the bosses I 595 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 1: had at ESPN, you know, felt that same way. In fact, 596 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: one boss famously said, you're just bleeping talent. But what 597 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 1: Dick did is he he had so many voices to 598 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: have Bob Conscious in there, myself, Keith Oberman, we had 599 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: Chris Collinsworth, Jerome Bett like it was so Peaky Barber. 600 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: We had so many people. I said, you gotta get 601 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 1: rid of some people so people can have an opportunity 602 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: to feel comfortable and have a voice here instead of 603 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: going I got twenty eight seconds to give my opinion 604 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 1: on something, and then somebody else has to give their opinion. 605 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: And you know, I had a strong conversation, a long 606 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: conversation with it because I was going to leave football 607 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 1: night in America. I said, I'm not enjoying this, you know, 608 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: you just we got to pare this down a little bit. 609 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 1: And Dick ever saw it, brought me into his office 610 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: at thirty Rock, and I was ready to leave. I 611 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: just said, I'm not enjoying this. And then he said, well, 612 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 1: what would you do? And I told him, I don't 613 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: know contracts, I don't know anything, but I'm going to 614 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: tell you this is what I would do with football 615 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: night in America. And he listened to me. Now he 616 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: made some suggestions, and I said, look, it's it's your product. 617 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a very expensive territory here, but 618 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: I just wasn't enjoying it. And I said, look, I'm 619 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: going to leave, but I want you to know how 620 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 1: I feel about this. I love the opportunity, but it's 621 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: just we don't have enough time for all the voices 622 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 1: we have here. Yeah, point one other thing on Monday 623 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: that football is that, According to John oor End of 624 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: the Sports Business Journal, in an ESPN has asked the 625 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,879 Speaker 1: NFL to look into flex scheduling for Monday that football deal. 626 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: It would not take effect until twenty twenty three, when 627 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 1: the new deal kicks in. But they want the same 628 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: flexibility that Sunday Football has. But I don't know what 629 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: you're signing Romo for if you if you do, it's 630 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,720 Speaker 1: a five year deal that you're going to get him, 631 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: and then you're going to be just dipping your toes 632 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 1: into that new deal and then bidding on a super 633 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,880 Speaker 1: Bowl because ESPN desperately wants that super Bowl that they 634 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: would put on ABC. And then if Monday Night Football 635 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: somehow is on ABC or it's on ESPN and ABC. Like, 636 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: I think they're trying to maneuver some things here. But 637 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 1: Tony Romo is a great it's a great calling card there, 638 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: you know, to say you have him. But CBS with 639 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 1: Nan sin Romo, you know, now you can make the 640 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: argument you guys have the best broadcast team there. I mean, 641 00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: I'd still put Al and Collinsworth over them, but it's 642 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,399 Speaker 1: pretty close. That's a that's a great broadcast team there. 643 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: And Fox, you know with Troy and Joe. I mean, 644 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: it's if you're going to have that property, you've got 645 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: to have some Marquis people in there. And ESPN doesn't 646 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,399 Speaker 1: have Marquis people. They have quality people in there. But 647 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,280 Speaker 1: you know, people want to hear from stars. Yeah, mclub. 648 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,760 Speaker 1: We keep talking about this quarterback. This generation of quarterbacks 649 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,319 Speaker 1: is about to retire, so there should be big name 650 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 1: quarterbacks to come at. I mean five or six of them. Well, 651 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 1: I thought Breeze. I really thought Breeze was looking at 652 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,279 Speaker 1: either Monday Night Football re CBS. I truly thought that 653 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 1: that would impact and maybe next year if ESPN doesn't 654 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: do anything this year, if they don't get Romo, do 655 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,400 Speaker 1: they do anything this year? And if they don't, then 656 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 1: I would look at bringing bringing in Drew Brees. What 657 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 1: about Philip Rivers, Tom Brady, Phillips Eli No, Ben No, 658 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: I mean Brady's not gonna want to do that.

Jimmy and Indiana joins us. Jimmy, 734 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:23,800 Speaker 1: good morning, Yeah, how's it going. So? I was a 735 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 1: career minor leaguer and one of the things I've been 736 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 1: singing about, calling it on the show for few too 737 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,880 Speaker 1: Fine Decided Too, is just kind of defined cheating. So 738 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,800 Speaker 1: a lot of guys who think that steroids and stuff 739 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,520 Speaker 1: is kind of out of professional sports. But what a 740 00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 1: lot of people are doing is they're getting prescriptions for 741 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:47,400 Speaker 1: low testosterone and then they're still taking these test boosters 742 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 1: to get them like right at that threshold. And it's 743 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,600 Speaker 1: something that I always kind of views is a little 744 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 1: bit dirty, something that I never got into. Brad, you 745 00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 1: know that there are a lot of guys in professional sports, 746 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,359 Speaker 1: including baseball, that are doing this. So I just kind 747 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 1: of want to know you guys. Thoughts is that shooting 748 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 1: for you guys? Is that just been in the rules? 749 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,879 Speaker 1: Is that something that kind of needs to be addressed. Well, 750 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:13,240 Speaker 1: I know it's going on. I said that all along. 751 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:18,120 Speaker 1: HGH was the big secret here. So if you can 752 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 1: gain an advantage, you're going to try to gain an advantage. 753 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,600 Speaker 1: I mean that's what the astros try to do. Did 754 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,719 Speaker 1: do red Sox? They try to do that? Did do it? 755 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,120 Speaker 1: All the players you know the last thirty or forty 756 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,480 Speaker 1: years who were taking steroids, trying to get an edge. 757 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 1: Everybody's trying to get an edge. The question is when 758 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 1: you cross the line of I know this is illegal, 759 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,920 Speaker 1: I know this is against rules, but you still do it. 760 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,279 Speaker 1: You know, you can go up to the line. It's 761 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 1: when you go over the line that's the point of 762 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,879 Speaker 1: no return. Yeah, I know the guys are taking things. 763 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,160 Speaker 1: They're masking these drugs. I told you a couple of 764 00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,959 Speaker 1: years ago a friend of mine, his daughter was dating 765 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,759 Speaker 1: somebody in a minor league organization and they would take 766 00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,880 Speaker 1: they would drink a liquid and they knew that they 767 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:02,880 Speaker 1: were going to get tested. They drank a liquid that 768 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 1: masked it and they never tested positive for steroids. So 769 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:07,879 Speaker 1: This is coming from somebody who was in the minor 770 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,920 Speaker 1: leagues who did do it. He's not one of those 771 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,920 Speaker 1: guys who says, yeah, other guys did and I of 772 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,440 Speaker 1: course didn't do it. He said, you would drink this 773 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 1: liquid and it would mask the steroids that we were taking. 774 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,839 Speaker 1: That's minor leaguers, because minor leaguers have a harder time 775 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:25,960 Speaker 1: getting around drug testing than the major leaguers do, and 776 00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,279 Speaker 1: that's why they have to find different ways to get around. 777 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,840 Speaker 1: There's so much money at stake here, and then the 778 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,200 Speaker 1: guy you're competing with is using steroids, so then you 779 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 1: have to make that decision do I do it? You know, 780 00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,640 Speaker 1: it's it's not going away because there's so much money 781 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,520 Speaker 1: at stake. Dale and Indiana joines, Hey, Dale, what do 782 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:52,399 Speaker 1: you have? Hey? Yeah, I had a comment on how 783 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:57,800 Speaker 1: to personally penalize the astrode. Take away their World Series rings. 784 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,440 Speaker 1: Think about the stories they would have for years to 785 00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:04,760 Speaker 1: come when they meet people on the street with those rings. 786 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,280 Speaker 1: You take them away and then they have to explain, 787 00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,719 Speaker 1: you know what happens. Imagine thirty years or not, they 788 00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:14,000 Speaker 1: meet my grandson and they have to explain, Hey, miss 789 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:15,759 Speaker 1: rows Tuba, I heard you in the World Series in 790 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 1: two seventeen. Where's your ring? It? It's the blame. The 791 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,520 Speaker 1: players love that stuff. Take it away. It's fair, I mean, Dale, 792 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:26,520 Speaker 1: it's fair. My point is, if you vacate the World 793 00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 1: Series Trophy, that title, that's there forever. It's not somebody 794 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,080 Speaker 1: asking you about, Hey, where's your World Series ring. You're 795 00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,279 Speaker 1: gonna look at the record books and you're going to 796 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,960 Speaker 1: see a blank there and it's gonna say vacated to me. 797 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,880 Speaker 1: That have more of an impact. I mean, I'm not 798 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 1: a big proponent in hey, I'm gonna take away your 799 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 1: trophy or but in this case, if you can't punish 800 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:52,400 Speaker 1: them and you want to extract some kind of punishment 801 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,640 Speaker 1: or in the organization, five million dollars in a couple 802 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:59,640 Speaker 1: of draft picks doesn't mean anything. It doesn't. World Series 803 00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,759 Speaker 1: Trophy led me in a whole lot. Pete and Florida, Hey, Pete, 804 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 1: what do you have? Good morning? Dan? I think you're 805 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 1: on fire this morning. Your takes on Tony Clark and 806 00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:18,160 Speaker 1: I'm Lebron needing to stay in his land right on. Um, 807 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,759 Speaker 1: My question for you and the boys is this, how 808 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:25,480 Speaker 1: do you think the current narratives and the historical perspective 809 00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:29,520 Speaker 1: of this entire situation would change just to ask those 810 00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,879 Speaker 1: make it to the ALCS or even win the World 811 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:35,239 Speaker 1: Series this year, Well, then we're gonna go why did 812 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,640 Speaker 1: you cheat? Then? If you have all of this talent, 813 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:41,759 Speaker 1: why are you cheating? I don't know if it helps them, 814 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:43,839 Speaker 1: if that's what you're saying, Pete, I mean if they 815 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,279 Speaker 1: because if you know what, we'll say, well what are 816 00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,759 Speaker 1: you doing now? And then thanks for the phone call. 817 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:54,720 Speaker 1: But you still go, oh, why would you risk everything 818 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,279 Speaker 1: to cheat? If you had all of this talent? And look, 819 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:02,799 Speaker 1: the Asteroids are extremely talented team and probably didn't need 820 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,879 Speaker 1: to do this, and they still would have been one 821 00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,839 Speaker 1: of the better teams in baseball. But some of these 822 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:13,680 Speaker 1: players who are coming out criticizing the Astros, they failed 823 00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:17,080 Speaker 1: in a big time situation here in the playoffs where 824 00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:20,520 Speaker 1: it's the Alcs of the World Series. Now, the Astros 825 00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:24,160 Speaker 1: didn't just get all the answers to the test. And 826 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,480 Speaker 1: all of this is not on one guy. I don't 827 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,920 Speaker 1: know who it's on because it feels like we're shifting 828 00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,120 Speaker 1: the blame and now it's Altwo. They didn't cheat and 829 00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:37,000 Speaker 1: this guy didn't cheat. Hey, we weren't steamrolled by Carlos Beltrum. 830 00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,120 Speaker 1: Like you get the feeling there was like three guys 831 00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,800 Speaker 1: doing it, but everybody else allowed this to happen. But 832 00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,280 Speaker 1: I'm waiting for the players to call out the Players' Association. 833 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,200 Speaker 1: They're the ones. They're the ones that are saying, hey, 834 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,920 Speaker 1: come after us, We're going to protect these guys. Nobody 835 00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:02,880 Speaker 1: said anything about that Players Association ptected the astros. They 836 00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,560 Speaker 1: weren't protecting the fans. They weren't protecting the game. It 837 00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:10,120 Speaker 1: goes back to steroid use. The Players' Association protected the 838 00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:15,480 Speaker 1: steroid users playing simple one hour in the books, two 839 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,319 Speaker 1: more to Go.
