Well, Jimmy Johnson Fox 46 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: Sports is Jimmy Johnson, who retired last year, put this 47 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: out on social media earlier today. I would like to 48 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: know the names of the blanks. Yeah, who did not 49 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: vote for him Belichick. They are too cowardly to identify themselves. 50 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: And John McLain, longtime Pro Football Hall of Fame voter, 51 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: again says, hey, people who didn't vote for Belichick should 52 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: make themselves known because this is making all of us 53 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: look bad. So now, look, this happened when Intro didn't 54 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: get unanimously elected to the Hall of Fame. Who is 55 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: the person that didn't vote for him? It's a story 56 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: for a few days. He didn't find out, Jeter. This 57 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: is now the big thing. We want to know who 58 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,839 Speaker 1: is not and who did not vote for Belichick. Now, 59 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: the one part of it is that Bill Pollian, who 60 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: is a huge influence in Belichick not being a first 61 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: ballot Hall of Famer. Anonymous voter said, Poleon told voters 62 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: Belichick should have to wait a year. Has penance for 63 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: Spygate and the flategate. According to reports, Bill Pollyon said no, 64 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: not true. I voted for him. Also said I'm ninety 65 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 1: five percent sure I voted for I either voted for 66 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: the coach or for el C. Greenwood. Is what he said, 67 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: Do I I sir? Do I marry or which one 68 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: of these? Either he's alive or he's dead, or the 69 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: cops got him or they don't. So I voted for him. 70 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: I mean I've voted for him. Sure, yea. So now 71 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: did he actually voter? Do you have his student information? 72 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 4: Yeah? 73 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, Just you know, I need you to fall on 74 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: the sword here and say you forgot to check Belichick's 75 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: name on it, right, I need you to do that 76 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: for me. So now the debates going to be are 77 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: we going to find out the names of these voters? 78 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: And if you want to find out, I will say 79 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: this is the absolute wrong way to do it, by 80 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: getting on social media and calling them names and saying 81 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: you gotta do what you gotta do it. Oh yes, 82 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: of course I'll come out and do it. Now. That's 83 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: not gonna do it. This is just gonna make people say, oh, whoa, whoa, 84 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: whoa whoa. If this is what the reaction is gonna 85 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: be because you've already got a predisposed opinion as to 86 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: what you're gonna say to me if I didn't vote 87 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: for Belichick for the Hall of Fame, right, so why 88 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: would I come out and get that ridicule? As Jason 89 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: Cole said, pro Football Hall of Fame voter who joined 90 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: us last hour on the show again the Best of Podcasts, 91 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: We'll have that in it. I'll also YouTube. He said, Hey, 92 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 1: maybe one or two people might say something, but and 93 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you, I don't think we're 94 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: gonna get anybody because whereas I can see one or 95 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: two people going, boy, I'd get a lot of attention, 96 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: I would get clicks. I would you know they would 97 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: see me differently. I would be able to cut through 98 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: the clutter. The backlash on them is going to be 99 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: so immense. They're gonna say, why would I do this? 100 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 1: And these aren't people that you would think of would 101 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: be in the moat to look for clicks, right, These 102 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: are guys that have to cover football for a long time. 103 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: Rich Semini, Right, we talked to me. Jets b reporter 104 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: has been covering the Jets, which is wow, you should 105 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: be able to pro vote for the Hall of Fame 106 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: just for that. It's been covering the Jets for thirty years. 107 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: First year is a Pro Football Hall of Famer. It's 108 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: a hard group to get into. Absolutely, he's not someone 109 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: that's going to say, and I don't know what rich SEMENI. 110 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: I'm just using him an example. You know, thirty years, 111 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: first year for rich Semini, if he didn't vote for Belichick. 112 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: He's not gonna be the guy that stuff. Yeah, hey, 113 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna be a difference maker. I'm gonna 114 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: stand up and I'm gonna be someone to say, yeah, 115 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: I didn't vote for him. No one gets into this 116 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: business and gets into this to stand out like you 117 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: would think that, Okay, hey, one or two people might 118 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: want to do it, but this is a group of 119 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 1: writers and voters who don't want that sort of attention 120 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: on them. Again, we wanted to know who didn't vote 121 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: for each other. Never found out. Never. I didn't get close. 122 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: I mean I tried to tell people was Rob Parker, 123 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: and I tried to make fun with that, but they 124 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: didn't take off because Rob Parker didn't do it. That's 125 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: probably why it didn't take off. Because I said Rob 126 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: Parker didn't. Then I said no, Rob Parker absolutely voted 127 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,679 Speaker 1: free Trump. So if you're a voter and you're seeing 128 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: that this is the response, you're not going to come 129 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: out of hiding and say, well, I'll talk about it. 130 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I just don't. There's no win for you 131 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: because no matter what you say, the reaction is going 132 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: to be your stupid take your vote away. And now 133 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: you're going to pit people in the Hall of Fame 134 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: voters against other voters. And I know that John McClain is. 135 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: And this is where if you're a writer, you voted 136 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: for Belichick, I'll tell guys like John McClain, dude, stay 137 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: off of social media. Okay, it's off social media. You're 138 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: still voting for the Hall of Fame. You're still there. 139 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: Why are you doing this? Why you want to? I 140 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: get that people are saying and they're mad at they're 141 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: so pissed at the other people that didn't vote for him. 142 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: They're mad at you, right, I get that they're so 143 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: pissed at them, they're pissed at you. I understand that. 144 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: But you didn't do anything, and all all this would 145 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: do is make the process worse for those voters. Now 146 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: we would like to see it. We want to see 147 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: you didn't vote, want to know why Belichick wasn't voted 148 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: for for us. It's great for them. There's no win 149 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: if I saw win for them to come out and 150 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: say this is why we didn't vote. If I thought 151 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,559 Speaker 1: that these eleven people could stand up along a dais 152 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: and say and say, hey, spygate was too big a 153 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: deal for us, and we didn't vote for him because 154 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: of that. We didn't know the depth, but that was cheating. 155 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: It's like the Astros, It's like peds and baseball. We 156 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: didn't know what the flake gate was all about. But 157 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: here's another cheating scandal shortly after that. Yeah, I had 158 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: a problem with Belichick. Do you really think them coming 159 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: out saying that is going to suddenly oh, people are 160 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: gonna go, oh oh I didn't know that. Oh oh 161 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: well yo, right, spygate. Oh yes, I forgot about spy Yes, 162 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: Oh now I get Hey, I'm sorry all this stuff 163 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: I said about you on social media, No, now I 164 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: get it. Because of the whole cheating stuff like that. 165 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: You can see right now. That's not helping because overwhelmingly 166 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: people are saying, hey, I don't care about spygate. I 167 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: don't care about the flake ate. I don't care about 168 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: anything else. This guy won more Super Bowl than anybody else. 169 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: You should be in the Hall of Fame. So you know, 170 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: they know about Spygate, and they're still saying, hey, why 171 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: is this guy not in the Hall of Fame? And 172 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: Jimmy Johnson's saying stuff like I want to know the 173 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: names of the blanks who didn't vote for him. So yeah, 174 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: I don't see a win for these voters coming from Yea, 175 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: that's just that curiate. 176 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, look, they're probably a spot for him 177 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 3: on a debate show if you hot take nonsense, if 178 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 3: you want. 179 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: To come on board, what is that? That's where this 180 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: start is. 181 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, look, like you said, it does take 182 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 3: a long time to get into that room, right. Jason 183 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 3: Cole has been covering the league for a long time. 184 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,199 Speaker 3: He's been doing it for what fourteen years? He said, Samini, 185 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 3: thirty years? Nothing. 186 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: You know. John mcclin's in his forty ninth year, as 187 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: he has in his Twitter bio of covering sports there 188 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: in the Planet, Houston and on down the line. So yeah, 189 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: I get your point. 190 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 3: There's not a lot to be gained in most respects, 191 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 3: and who knows after the vote goes, or maybe someone's 192 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 3: got the giant expository piece for fifteen minutes of what 193 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 3: they thought in the process and why they voted that way. 194 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 3: But certainly at this point you've got a lot of 195 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 3: people pointing fingers. McLean followed up that initial missive with 196 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 3: at this point, if we say we voted for Belichick, 197 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 3: how many would really believe us? Yeah, right, because Napoleon's 198 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 3: not helping anything, my gun? 199 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: Yeah I did not. 200 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 3: Actually, I'm ninety five percent sure I voted for him 201 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 3: or any other guy, him or L. C. 202 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: Greenwood, maybe eighty percent. I forget did I write Belichick 203 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: or LCG? 204 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 3: I see it kind of gets into, you know, the 205 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 3: spiking in terms of letter versus spirit of the law. 206 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: It was still allowed to be taped, just not over there. 207 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 1: Same thing here. It's like what man I meant say Belichick? 208 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: I said Greenwood? I don't know what. 209 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 3: It's closed And the two of them are just inextricably 210 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 3: linked for the rest of my life. 211 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: But but all of it. 212 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 3: Now you've got the infighting, and it's overtaken what would 213 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 3: otherwise be a glorious process still of speculation, still of 214 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 3: celebrating that we're going to the Super Bowl, and did 215 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 3: take the ridiculous Shador Sanders story off the soleas he 216 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 3: gave us that we'll get to Gruden at some point 217 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 3: tonight and then him's telling the Jets to beat it. 218 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 3: But for this, it's just great theater because it's the 219 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 3: selective outrage of which offense in any of these sports 220 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 3: in the micro or in the macro sense, I guess 221 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 3: for the NFL, of how important of this is this 222 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 3: to the history of the game, right it's eighteen years ago. 223 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 3: I tried to put it in the historical context of 224 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 3: what Roger Goodell did when he took over for Tagliabu, 225 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 3: because everything that might have looked bad for the NFL 226 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 3: was the worst. Remember for about ten years the NFL 227 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 3: and gambling that convention that Tony Romo and all those 228 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 3: guys were gonna come and do talks, And no, can't 229 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 3: have that anywhere near a Vegas property now because of 230 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 3: the sanctity of the game. Now it's I can't go 231 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 3: eight seconds without Kevin Hart and Lebron James trying to 232 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 3: tell me about some parlay they're working up. I mean, 233 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 3: it's it's all of those things, so Goodell at that 234 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 3: moment it was the I've got the look. They even 235 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 3: put them on all those on the magazines and sports, 236 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 3: ill dread and everything else, you know, super imposed him 237 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 3: with the the iron throne from Thrones, right like that 238 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 3: was the deal. So that was under his purview in 239 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 3: the first twelve months of his reign. So did he 240 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 3: take it more seriously. 241 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: Than he would have now? Now it might have been 242 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: a what are you gonna do? No, I think it's 243 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: it's not it's it's a there's a difference between gambling 244 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: and someone placing a bet in a team facility. Then 245 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: there is Hey, you went and got all this illegal 246 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: video of all these teams. Why did you keep doing it? 247 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: And guys are shooting the opposing sideline during a game 248 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: like that stuff you can't do. Like but if I 249 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: was in the in the stands as a paying customer, 250 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: I can do it. Yeah, But when you work for 251 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: the team, when when you're getting this video to. 252 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 3: You celebrated that Michigan title, don't talk to me about 253 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 3: that when you're doing it. 254 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: That's not quite cool.

We can talk a little 308 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 4: baseball too. I understand there's still one more football game 309 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 4: left as well, but man, it was a great hoops 310 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 4: game tonight. 311 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll tell you, Matt. You know, I wouldn't think that, 312 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: John Paul, But Michigan and Nebraska basketball schools. You guys 313 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: are ba right now, man. 314 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 4: And I gotta say this one of the more striking things. 315 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 4: And why you know, college basketball one of my favorite sports. 316 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 4: It's amazing still appreciating the youth and how a game 317 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 4: can look completely different than the first half of the 318 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 4: second half, the first half, the halftime score Nebraska fifty, 319 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 4: Michigan forty eight. Now I'm thinking we can see both 320 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 4: teams in the hundreds here. This is unbelievable. We have 321 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 4: seen plenty of Big Ten game. You think back a 322 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 4: Wisconsin Michigan State game from like fifteen years ago. That 323 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 4: might have been the final score fifty to forty eight. 324 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 4: That was a halftime score night. And then they come 325 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 4: out and Nebraska scores twenty two points the rest of 326 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 4: the way, and Michigan's able to win seventy five to 327 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 4: seventy two, setting up what should be the other great 328 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 4: showdown Friday at the Breslan there in East Landsley, Michigan, 329 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 4: Michigan State. But I just thought Michigan defended really well 330 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 4: in the second half. I thought Johnson was really important 331 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 4: for them, of course, But Nebraska, tell you what, They're 332 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 4: a fun team to watch. The fundamental sound as they 333 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 4: play with. They hit a ton of three's, a lot 334 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 4: of back picks and backdoor cuts. It's almost like the 335 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 4: old Princeton offense with better athletes now in the Big Ten. 336 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 4: But my goodness, a lot of fun to watch now. 337 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: Because you are a man of many talents, of men 338 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: who covers many sports, Spike be one of the greatest 339 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: baseball insiders we know. Let me take inside the big conversation. 340 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: We talked little Hall of Fame with you last week. However, 341 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: it's become a big topic tonight with Bill Belichick not 342 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: getting voted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Twenty 343 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: nine of forty voters voted for him, eleven people did not. 344 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: According to reports, spygate and the cheating scandal was a 345 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: big deal for many of them, and this is why 346 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: Belichick didn't get in. Now, you've had to deal with 347 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: that last week with Carlos Beltran getting into the Baseball 348 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. What do you make of what's going 349 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: on with Belichick now comparing it to what you guys 350 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: had to go through last week with the voting. 351 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 4: For Beltran, Well, it is really interesting. And of course 352 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 4: the NFL Hall of Fame, that process. What I do 353 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 4: know about it is it is much more opaque than 354 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 4: ours in baseball. There's not a lot of transparency at all. 355 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 4: There is the room and the announcement emerges, and we 356 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 4: don't quite have the same amount of transparency that we 357 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 4: have with baseball, and so that adds to the intrigue 358 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 4: in what's happening there. But it does make sense that 359 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 4: spygate is a legitimate part of his story, and it 360 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 4: is a massive part of his legacy obviously on the 361 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 4: negative side there, and we know all the winning that 362 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 4: has done. Besides that, it's interesting to me how the 363 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 4: voting group in the NFL, and again it's a different 364 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 4: way of going about it than we do in baseball. 365 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 4: But is this a one year penalty, so to speak? 366 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 4: Is it longer than that? Is there? Is it possible 367 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 4: that we could have Belichick as completely excluded from the 368 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 4: Hall of Fame and football in a way that Bonds 369 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 4: and Clemens are in baseball. It seems to me that baseball, 370 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 4: with its tradition, is really committed and the sense of 371 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 4: fairness and the way that it's been legislated over the years. 372 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 4: Let's say that I don't believe Bonds and Clemens will 373 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 4: ever get in. I don't. I just think that there 374 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 4: are now that it's gone on to the Veterans Committee 375 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 4: and the Era Committee, as it's known, there's just not 376 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 4: a lot of people that are of the mind to 377 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 4: get them in from that small group of people, which 378 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 4: includes the Hall of Famers themselves. Ironically, for both Bonds 379 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 4: and Clemens, their best chance came with the media, which 380 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 4: is kind of funny because they were neither known as 381 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 4: media darlings, but actually the media, the writers voted them 382 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 4: way above fifty percent. But you need seventy five to 383 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 4: get in. And that's why the Baseball of Fame is 384 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 4: so challenging and why I don't think Bond and Clemens 385 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 4: will ever get in. It really is up in this 386 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 4: case with the Pro Football Hall of Fame, is how 387 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 4: do those people in that room feel about the taint 388 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 4: of the cheating that's gone on Belichick and if that 389 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 4: Sully's his entire resume. I don't think we'll get a 390 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 4: whole ton of quotes from Milla on this one, but 391 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 4: he's asked about it. But I think in general, there 392 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 4: will be a lot of questions asked, and really it's 393 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 4: up to the voters themselves. But I think in the 394 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 4: case of Bond the Clements, you've got two of the 395 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 4: greatest players ever who are not in the Hall of Fame. 396 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 4: P Rose, arguably the greatest pure hitter ever, is not 397 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 4: in the Hall of Fame. So by my experience, it 398 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 4: would not necessarily surprise me if Belichick is kept out, 399 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 4: even though from the standpoints of the Pro Football Hall 400 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 4: of fame, it would be running against some fairly significant 401 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 4: precedent from the decades in the past, Jack B. 402 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 3: As we start readying ourselves, we've got two weeks until 403 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 3: spring training, movement, still signings and all. How big is 404 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 3: the gap between where the Dodgers are in terms of 405 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 3: the percep versus reality? 406 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 4: You know, it's a great question, Mike. I think that 407 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 4: the Dodgers, listen, they're the best team on paper in 408 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 4: Major League Baseball. They're the two time defending champions. But 409 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 4: I think it's important to point out that there were 410 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 4: real times during their journey of the playoffs where the 411 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 4: last two World Series titles were not inevitable for them. 412 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 4: Of course, they had to win two elimination games against 413 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 4: the Padres in the first round back in twenty four, 414 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 4: and then they had to win back to back elimination 415 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 4: games on the road to beat the Blue Jays. So 416 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 4: they were pushed to the brink in each of those postseasons. 417 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 4: So it wasn't though it was sweep, sweep, sleep all 418 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 4: your way through. They had to win some pretty tough games. 419 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 4: So I think in general they are still the best 420 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 4: team the way they've been able to add someone like Tucker. 421 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 4: I think underscores the issues that a lot of people 422 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 4: have in the game about the fareness of the current 423 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 4: economic system, and I'm sure we'll be talking about that 424 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 4: a lot on this show as we get closer to 425 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 4: the end of the CBA. But the I would say, 426 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 4: the perception of how much better the Dodgers are than 427 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 4: everyone else is probably bigger than what the actual reality is, 428 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 4: just based on the way the couple last couple of 429 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 4: seasons have unfolded and how much they were challenged in October. 430 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 4: But it is apparent to me and probably a lot 431 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 4: of other people they enter this year as the clear favorites, 432 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 4: and we'll see if Jason's Metz or maybe your White 433 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 4: Sox do something to change that. I mean the White Sox. 434 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 4: They'll see them a lot of the spring training, Mike. 435 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 4: So if the White Sox have their way there in Glendell, Arizona, 436 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 4: maybe maybe that will diminish their hopes just a little 437 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 4: bit and actually have an impact. Okay, maybe that's a 438 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 4: little Maybe I love you a little bit. I was 439 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 4: trying to try to boost your confidence, Michael. 440 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 3: They're over under sixty five and a half wins JP. 441 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 4: Hey, they but you know what there is still, and 442 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 4: I wonder there has to be like a Glendale, Arizona 443 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 4: Mayors Cup that they're going to compete for. And darn it, 444 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 4: if the White Sox win the Glendale Mayors Cup and 445 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 4: by beating the Dodgers head to head in six spring 446 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 4: training games, that I'm hoping that the White Sox are 447 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 4: parading that thing around the ballpark like it's a Stanley 448 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 4: Cup and passing around and taking pictures and all the things, 449 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 4: because that's a trophy worth saving right there, all right. 450 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: John Paul. So when you obviously the Dodgers again they 451 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: find a way to add have of two billion dollars 452 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: in salary, Now give me two other teams who you 453 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: thought were big winners in the offseason, getting the team 454 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 1: doing what they needed to do to be able to 455 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: compete to you know, at some point in theory beating 456 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: the Dodgers this year for a championship. 457 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 4: Sure. So I think that the Cubs getting Bregman was massive. 458 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 4: They were a better team than they than they appeared 459 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 4: to be last year. Obviously they weren't able to eventually 460 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 4: beat the Brewers, but they were closer at different points 461 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 4: of the year than it looked at the end. The 462 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 4: Brewers just they just keep doing it year after year. 463 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 4: But I do think the Cubs addressed what was their 464 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 4: clear need and they've got a really good ball club. 465 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 4: They also obviously helped out they're pitching with Cabrera, so 466 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 4: I think they're a team to watch. On the National 467 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 4: League side. With the American League, I like Baltimore and 468 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 4: they're not even done yet, but did Alonzo for them 469 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 4: is a massive ad. That team was not as bad 470 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 4: as they looked last year. They were a much more 471 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 4: competitive group should have been. Injuries hit they they had 472 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 4: a lot of really good players had down years all 473 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 4: at the same time, and so by that measure, I 474 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 4: look for Baltimore to bounce back and maybe a team 475 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 4: like Toronto comes back down a little bit. I think 476 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 4: tap Bay will be better, even though they really do 477 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 4: a whole lot. So I think the American League East 478 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 4: is going to be a tighter division overall, but I 479 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 4: look for the Orioles to make the biggest climb there. 480 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 4: So I've got Baltimore in the American League, Chicago and 481 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 4: the National League as my two teams that won the 482 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 4: offseason in the non Dodgers. 483 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 3: Category, JP the Mets have any more minor leaguers they 484 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 3: want to spin off to get guys who've been in 485 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 3: the All Star Game. 486 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: In the past, it's. 487 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 4: Been a very un David Sterns like winter Time Mike 488 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 4: and that he is someone, as has been well documented 489 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 4: on the Sterensey in the Pope Podcast, he is someone 490 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,959 Speaker 4: that is very reluctant to typically trade his high end prospects. 491 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 4: But it seems to me that his philosophy has changed 492 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 4: a bit given the budget of his owner is a 493 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 4: little different than it was when he was in Milwaukee. 494 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 4: So but David Sterns still looking for ways to I 495 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 4: think upgrade the team. He's done a pretty good job 496 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 4: of it in the last ten days or so. But 497 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 4: I've got to say this, guys, I don't love the 498 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 4: fit with Bishett at third and how that's all going 499 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 4: to play out. Who's going to play first base? There's 500 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 4: just a lot of truly who's on first There's just 501 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 4: there's a lot of questions for how the Mets overall 502 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 4: roster is going to go.

But boy, I'll tell you what. 710 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: The Jets certainly picked the right day to announce they're 711 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 1: firing the last of Aaron Glenn's assistant coaches. So now 712 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 1: everybody he came in with and he hired last year, 713 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,839 Speaker 1: he got everybody wrong. Go right, he got everybody wrong? 714 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 4: Right? 715 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 1: I told you in October Aaron Glen is in over 716 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,719 Speaker 1: his head and you need no more instance of that 717 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,879 Speaker 1: than this that he's fired as oc who he thought 718 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 1: he was going to reassign a little bit in the 719 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: last couple of days, and now all the assistants were gone, 720 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 1: So now you know how he feels that everything that 721 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: he feels really cornered. And I have to win, obviously. 722 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 1: I know I'm just waiting him out. I know I'm 723 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 1: waiting out because he's in over his head and it 724 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: looks it's just so bad because I'm going you wait 725 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,439 Speaker 1: this long to fire your assistance when you had other 726 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 1: guys that you wanted could have given jobs to in 727 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 1: the last two weeks, but now they've all gotten gigs. 728 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: So now how are you gonna get? 729 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 4: Right? 730 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: Who are you gonna get? 731 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 3: Several weeks of the coaching carousel, and we certainly have 732 00:35:55,800 --> 00:36:00,360 Speaker 3: had other dominoes still falling there at Buffalo flailing after 733 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,280 Speaker 3: they're late firing and McDermott, what have you so Brady there? 734 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,400 Speaker 3: But you've got the Jets, And I got to give 735 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 3: you credit because I remember how excited you were for 736 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 3: the start of the season. It did not take you 737 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 3: long to go come around the cul de sac well, 738 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 3: because I recognize it was bad. 739 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 1: He was in over his head, right, and I just knew. 740 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 1: And now you see how they go at the end 741 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,799 Speaker 1: of the season. No, we're not getting new staff in 742 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,759 Speaker 1: right after the year is over. I'm gonna wait. And 743 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,879 Speaker 1: now I got to find a new offensive corner, which 744 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,359 Speaker 1: probably gonna be Frank Reich. But what's the thing that. 745 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 3: Changed and transpired in the last week that suddenly you 746 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,960 Speaker 3: caught on video or did you catch him in his 747 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 3: office going this guy doesn't know what the blanky? 748 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: I mean, like, it's what Jets? What is it? It's 749 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 1: the Jets. 750 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 3: He just someone came back from a trip and said, 751 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 3: why didn't we fix the glitch? 752 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,240 Speaker 1: So again, this is the Jets showing you were always 753 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 1: gonna believe, right, but they picked the right day to 754 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:54,879 Speaker 1: do it. Belichich doesn't get in the Hall of Fame. Hey, 755 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 1: that overshadows the fact that boy Aaron Glenn really doesn't 756 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,359 Speaker 1: know what he's doing. But then we get this from 757 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 1: the Athletic that the Jets reached out to John Gruden 758 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,840 Speaker 1: not about being the head coach, but about joining Aaron 759 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,799 Speaker 1: Glenn's staff, potentially likely as an offensive coordinator. 760 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:18,319 Speaker 3: Right, But ostensibly he's the hey coach and waiting. It's 761 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 3: like he wants to get back to a coaching job. 762 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:21,839 Speaker 3: Here you go, dude, you'll be the head coach by 763 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,239 Speaker 3: week six? What are you worried about? What are you 764 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 3: worried about? So while you're not a head coaching name, 765 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,800 Speaker 3: during the season, you'll have your spetch show way it's coming. 766 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 1: But according to reports multiple sources and Zach Rosenblatt of 767 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:39,000 Speaker 1: The Athletic, Gruden wasn't interested in the job. Can you 768 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,399 Speaker 1: blame him? Hey, get back into the NFL. Boy really 769 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:43,799 Speaker 1: like to be a head coach. You know, I'd really 770 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: like to come back and be a head coach. Well, 771 00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: I have a gig for you with a potential OC 772 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: head coach in waiting. Okay, I might be able to 773 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,280 Speaker 1: be down with that. Where can I go? It's Grudon's 774 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 1: a little bit of sipple wits, but you don't really 775 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 1: do the accent that much. But I'd like to go 776 00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,399 Speaker 1: because I love football. It's the Jets not doing it. 777 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,239 Speaker 1: Not Nope, I'm gonna stay here and wait for one 778 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 1: more bite at the apple someplace else. It's like when 779 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 1: the bus comes by and you don't want to get 780 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 1: on because there's too many people on you go. No, 781 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,719 Speaker 1: you can keep going. Oh but the bus driver opens 782 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: a bus for you. No, no, I'll keep going. 783 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 3: I'll wait for the next bus he's waiting for. I'm 784 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 3: gonna wait for the next bus. That next bus may 785 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 3: never show up, my friend, and. 786 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 1: I'd rather choose the potential end of my career than 787 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 1: coming back with a jet. 788 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:26,319 Speaker 3: But legitimately, that is a bit of a difference that 789 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,840 Speaker 3: we've had in this coaching cycle where you've had guys 790 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 3: be brought in for interviews. I'm looking straight at Ty 791 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 3: Shirt and his Cleveland Browns of just saying yeah, no, 792 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,439 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna do it. I mean today we had 793 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 3: the big press conference and later he joined Petrson Money 794 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:47,240 Speaker 3: on AM five to seventy here locally Mike McDaniel talking 795 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,280 Speaker 3: about how meeting with Harbaugh and everything that it made sense, 796 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 3: the fit and all of these things in a line 797 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 3: to dominate the day and get the best out of 798 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 3: justin all of this stuff. But he was a guy 799 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 3: that could have had one of these other coaching jobs 800 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 3: and just said no, no, I'm moving on. 801 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 1: And we've seen it right. His contract was reported if 802 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: he gets another head coaching job. 803 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 3: Whatever. Great, otherwise he's the OC. We've seen that Brian Flores. 804 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 3: He went back to the Vikings, but had the out 805 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 3: for a head coaching job and ultimately withdraw Like you 806 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,960 Speaker 3: got all these guys withdrawing from consideration, you had a 807 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,320 Speaker 3: thirty year old offensive coordinator in Jacksonville up for a 808 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:26,320 Speaker 3: head coaching job. 809 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,839 Speaker 1: Said yeah, I'm not gonna go do that Jets same day. 810 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,400 Speaker 1: Why am I being to be part of this? I mean, 811 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 1: listen when he's choosing to maybe never coach in the 812 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:38,239 Speaker 1: NFL again. Over coaching with the Jets tells you where 813 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 1: the Jets rank. And it also tells me that if 814 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 1: the Jets were looking for a head coach now, if 815 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 1: they had fired Aaron Glenn, which they should be looking 816 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: for new head coach, they'd be like the Browns with 817 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 1: people saying, yeah, no, I'm backing out now, I'm backing out, 818 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 1: no backing out, backing it even more embarrassing for the Jet. 819 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 3: But if he gets a coach as a coordinator or 820 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:57,719 Speaker 3: a head coaching job, if he gets one of those, 821 00:39:58,080 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 3: does he have to stop his unboxing video? 822 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,319 Speaker 1: This is that part of the part of the deal. Hey, 823 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 1: I got this great gear, he said, I really want 824 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 1: to coach again. I have I have one more in me. 825 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,880 Speaker 1: I'm hoping I want to come back. The Jets called yeah, no, 826 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,160 Speaker 1: not doing it? No, no, who is it? That's where 827 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 1: the Jets rank. That's how bad things are for the Jets. 828 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 1: Prank call, prank call, exit out bout a Fresco exit 829 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,879 Speaker 1: swollen dome.
