And the week after his 23 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: father died in the crash at Daytona, he had to 24 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: go out and get into car and race, and so 25 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: we thought Junior would be great.

Mclovin, what do you have for 37 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: me today? So I asked our audience, what are we undercovering? 38 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: Bes it the Olympics and Aaron Rodgers and this is 39 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: the order they wed You've mentioned some of these Number one, 40 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: the San Francisco Giants being the best team in baseball 41 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: record wise, number two, the MLB trade deadline, Number three, 42 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: the NBA draft remember that one, yes, and then four 43 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: NFL training camp starting everywhere today. And five shoheyo Tani. 44 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: Is there any of those that you've you noticed are 45 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,959 Speaker 1: particularly undercovered? Well, it feels like Shoheyotani has been undercovered 46 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: because of the magnitude of what he's done. I mean 47 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: the past month. He finally got some coverage, certainly that 48 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: week All Star Week home run derby. The draft used 49 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: to be a big thing. It was a big build up. 50 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:44,679 Speaker 1: Couldn't wait. Who's going one, Who's gonna be the sleeper 51 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: in here? Somebody gonna get a bargain, somebody gonna trade. 52 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: Now it feels like, yeah, I think Pistons are taking Cade, 53 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: cunning him, and then you got a bunch of other 54 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: freshmen who are going to be taken here be on 55 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: the club. Isn't this this is a good draft because 56 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: you have Jail and Sugs Evan Mobile at least like 57 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 1: this is actually a good draft. Last year was terrible. Yeah, 58 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: I think you've got some real talent here, but you 59 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: don't have that prize where you go and this is 60 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: I mean, getting used to this because you know, kids 61 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: are going to go to the G League, may go Overseas. 62 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: You don't have a Zion Williamson. And I don't know 63 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: if we're going to have that opportunity to have a 64 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: you know, a singular pick, you know, a person player 65 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: like that, because where we're headed, coming out of high school, 66 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: going to the G League, going to Europe? Are you 67 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: going to go to college? Does name, image and likeness 68 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: mean you might get some of these bigger name players 69 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: who go in because they can make a million dollars 70 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: a year. I mean, what would Zion make? Going to Duke? Now, 71 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: if the quarterback at Alabama who hasn't started a game 72 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: has reportedly is reportedly going to make a million dollars 73 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: in endorsements this year, he wasn't a household name. What's 74 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: his name? Bryce Young? Yeah, not a household name. Good quarterback? 75 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: Zion was a household name at fifteen YouTube star? What 76 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: would Zion make? Do we start it? And I don't 77 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: know how Duke would embrace this. We know that Alabama 78 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: SEC schools football schools will probably be a little bit 79 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: more embracing of this, But I don't know, does Mike 80 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: Shashevsky say to Zion's family whatever you can make, Like, 81 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: I don't know how the coaches will get involved in this, 82 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: but Zion, what's the starting price for him at Duke? 83 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. Five million, ten million, yes, okay, Bryce Young. 84 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: I remember you actually saw him play a modern day 85 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: I remember you were talking about it. So he's a 86 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: little bit of exception to that weird modern day Don 87 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: Bosco thing. Well, you know Friday night, Saturday, when you're 88 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: lonely and you're sitting downstairs by yourself, smoking a cigar 89 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: and having a beer. I tend to flip around, and 90 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 1: I love watching high school football. I watched Julio Jones 91 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: in high school, like it's just like, man, this guy 92 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,679 Speaker 1: is great and it turned out to be great. But yeah, 93 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 1: modern day. For some reason, I always end up watching 94 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: modern day football. Yeah, your texts are great too, because 95 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: it'll be like a nine forty five on a Saturday 96 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: night and you'll be like channel five sixty two, which 97 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: is really far down the dial, and it's like the 98 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: Illinois five A state title game is going on. I 99 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: love it. You know, Texas high school football. I don't 100 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: care what division I'm watching it. Yeah, mc glove. That's 101 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: a funny thing about nil. People keep talking about college. 102 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: These guys are getting a lot of heat in high 103 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: school already. Yeah. I mean you might have a junior 104 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: who's making one hundred thousand. Yeah, with social media. Absolutely, 105 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: all right. The Packers met with the media. Now you've 106 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: had months to get ready for this, prepare for all questions. 107 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: You got to balance your answers. You know what, you 108 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: can share blame, but you got to accept blame here. 109 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: You to commit to Aaron Rodgers, but you've got to 110 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: keep your options open here. Brian goodacoonst was asked about 111 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers having to having the right to ask to 112 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: be traded in twenty twenty two. Brian Goodacount said, what 113 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: he's done for this organization. I think every year he 114 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: at least deserves the conversation about where he's headed, where 115 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: we're headed. They're still working through the contract, all right. 116 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: That's benign. Here's Brian Goodacoon's the Packers GM. Davante Adams 117 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: is really important to us. It's very important to us 118 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: moving forward that he's part of our football team and 119 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: finding a way to make that work, all right, very benign. 120 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: The fact that he says, Davanta Adams is really important 121 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: to us. That's not news. Brian goodacoonst future off seasons 122 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers. He's earned the right to have those discussions. 123 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: He also said that Rogers has the quote same input 124 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: he's always had, but added that one of the things 125 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: this offseason is learning how to incorporate that. I think 126 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: what that means is he had input, we just didn't 127 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: listen to him. Okay, so let me let me give 128 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: that one to you again. So the Packer GM says 129 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers has the quote, same input he's always had, 130 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: but added that quote one of the things of this 131 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: offseason is learning how to incorporate that end quote, implement 132 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: that into our systems. Here's the other one. Brian Goodacoons 133 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: admitted that he didn't give Aaron Rodgers the heads up 134 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: that the team was going to draft Jordan Love last offseason. 135 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: Quote on every side, every side, the communication could have 136 00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: been better shared. Blame every side. That's every side, including 137 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers' side of the communication. Apparently, Yes, PAULI, I'm 138 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: still going to back the Packers just a little bit 139 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: on the draft day thing. Yeah, let's say it was 140 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: on your board to consider drafting a quarterback of it slipped. 141 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: I'm not calling Aaron Rodgers to open up that can 142 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: of worms until I have to open up that can 143 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: of worms because you don't draft a quarterback. Then he's 144 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: mad about something you didn't do. I want to be 145 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: mad about something I did do. Yeah, I don't know 146 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: if there's a right answer here. There's levels of wrongness. Okay, 147 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: I think I just made up that expression. There's levels 148 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: of wrongness here. Yes, if you were the GM and 149 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,319 Speaker 1: you had to call Aaron Rodgers on draft night, what 150 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:46,959 Speaker 1: would you say to him? Like, how do you handle 151 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:55,359 Speaker 1: that conversation? I think you have to have a conversation 152 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: prior to draft night and just say, hey, you know 153 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: you got thirty minutes here. I want to run over 154 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: some things that we're looking at, just to give you 155 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: a heads up here if you truly want to give 156 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: him a heads up, if you think he deserves it now. 157 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: If he throws for twenty six touchdown passes last year, 158 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: nobody cares if you didn't tell him you were drafting 159 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: a quarterback, because they would have moved on from Aaron 160 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: Rodgers in all likelihood, at least my feeling. It's they 161 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: bet against Aaron Rodgers being great and he's making them 162 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: pay in a variety of ways right now. But if 163 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: he throws for twenty six touchdowns and they took Jordan Love, 164 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's going to go, oh man, you 165 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: got to give him my heads up there. They didn't 166 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: give Brett Farba heads up. They were taking Aaron Rodgers. 167 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess right, yeah, Paul, you call him on 168 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: draft night, you say, just like two thousand and five, 169 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: if a quarterback that we think can replace you way 170 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: down the road is available, we're going to kick the 171 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 1: tires on it. And look how good it worked out 172 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: in two thousand and five. But then that's when he says, well, 173 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: let's way down the road. Mean breaking up. We're breaking up, 174 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: Ashkash and there's no cell phone service here. Here's some 175 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: news on Deshaun Watson. The Texans. GM nick As Sarrio 176 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 1: refuses to say whether Deshaun Watson will practice, not revealing 177 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: much of anything. Actually, this is what I learned. I 178 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 1: talked to a source this morning about this. If the 179 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,719 Speaker 1: Texans discipline Deshaun Watson, they can only suspend him for 180 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: four games. Now they can say we don't want you 181 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: out there on the practice field because this is conduct debt. 182 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: What has happened in the offseason is conduct detrimental to 183 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: the team. And if they discipline him, it's only four games. 184 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: They're waiting to see what the NFL does, because the 185 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: NFL may go, we're going to suspend you for eight games, 186 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: We're going to suspend you for the season. We're not 187 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: going to do anything. But Deshaun Watson's cleared to play, 188 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: but probably won't be on the playing field. Yeah, Poe, 189 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: this just in from Adam Schefter. Deshaun Watson is on 190 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: the field for the Texans first training camp practice, no 191 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,079 Speaker 1: more details. Is he practicing? Is in uniform? But we'll see. Yeah. 192 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: I don't know how you keep him out like legally, 193 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: you know, due process, players Union. I'm guessing the players 194 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: union would say, look, what's he been charged with here? Yeah, Paul, 195 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: let's say, hypothetically, the league, because if this case does 196 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: not resolve before September, puts him on the commissioner's list 197 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 1: short or long term. Is there any appeals process for 198 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: being on the commissioner's list. Yes, you can appeal. The 199 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: problem is the person who puts you on the commissioner's 200 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: examp list is the person who hears your appeal the 201 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 1: commissioner rog yes, so he would have to declare, I 202 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,959 Speaker 1: hit the gabble, I was wrong. Yes, yeah, that doesn't happen. 203 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: But yeah, there is an appeal process that you can 204 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: have if you go on the Commissioner's examp list. So 205 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: there's a lot of unanswered questions with Deshaun Watson. Aaron Rodgers. 206 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: I think he seemed to be moving in a pretty 207 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: nice direction. And there's dat hunt Google at kids, Yes, mcclub. Yeah, 208 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: Twitter is going crazy. There's all these videos to Sean 209 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: is on the field, but he's wearing short and not 210 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: a football uniform, Like nobody knows what's going on here. Okay, 211 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: so we don't know if he's gonna be in a 212 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: helmet throwing the ball. Yet none of this has been 213 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: clarified because I don't know if he has to be 214 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: on the field to make sure that he doesn't get fined, 215 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: like I don't. I don't know how old of this works, 216 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,199 Speaker 1: because he might just say, look, you're not going to 217 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: find me fifty thousand dollars a day. I'm going out 218 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: there you don't want me out here, then you're still 219 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: going to pay me. And if you go on the 220 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: Commissioner's exemplary, at some point, the Texans have to know 221 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 1: what the NFL is going to do. You just do 222 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: running your business? Are you going to suspending You're gonna 223 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: put him on the commissioner's exemple list? What can we do? 224 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: They got to move forward with this, and that's the 225 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: NFL has to be fair to the Texans. They also 226 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: have to be fair to Deshaun Watson. Give them due 227 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: process here yampo, and they have to be fair to 228 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: the teams that are considering trading for him. If you're 229 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,239 Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos, don't you have to call the Commissioner's 230 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: office or someone to say, look, what's this? This per 231 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 1: player's status, but off the record, even off the record, 232 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: what's the likelihood that you sit him for the season 233 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: because of this? Because that that affects my trade pitch 234 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: if I know I don't get them for eight games. Yeah, 235 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: let me get a couple of phone calls. I'll get 236 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 1: one phone call in here.

As somebody who starts in mental health 243 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 1: but depression and anxiety, high stress, and with a lot 244 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: of friends who wo do really well over like over 245 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: the last day, I finally come to understand, you know 246 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: how important someone wild story is. I'm with her being 247 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: able to show her story, and yet when I first 248 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: heard it yesterday, I'll be honest, my first reaction, as 249 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: a teacher and with many friends who are frontline workers, 250 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: was well, we go into high stress situations all the time, 251 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: but we can't just leave. So I'm curious just to 252 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: get your thoughts on how we can move this forward 253 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: so that not only athletes, but the everyday person can 254 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: move forward and improve their mental health. Thank you, Andrew. 255 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: I don't have answers, and I've said that from the outset. 256 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: I can only tell you from my experience what I 257 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: felt like. I did not want to talk about it. 258 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: It was my wife who said, you're uncomfortable talking about it. 259 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: You can make others feel comfortable if you talk about it. 260 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: But I don't have answers. But the answer would be 261 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: talk to somebody. Yeah. See, And people in those lines 262 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: of work do struggle with mental health. They do have 263 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: stress and anxiety disorders all the time. I mean, PTSD 264 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: is a is a very real thing that people in 265 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: those types of line of work can suffer from. And 266 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: I know that we want to congratulate or condemn Simone Vials. 267 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: And you can be in the middle on this. You 268 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: can understand we want our athletes to fight through they 269 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: fight through injuries. This is this is an injury you 270 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: don't see, but you can see it with Simone Vials. 271 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: You can see it in her face when you watch 272 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: her when she dismounts off the vault. There is fear 273 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: and confusion, in my opinion, in her face, truly is 274 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: I commend her that she stayed on the floor. She 275 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: was there to cheer on her teammates. She answered questions 276 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: at a press conference. But this doesn't just go away. 277 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: And I know she said, hey, got some things I 278 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: got to work out internally. It doesn't just magically go 279 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: away over time. Can she come back over this over 280 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: the weekend and be able to compete. I don't know, 281 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: and maybe you know, the slightest misstep and then she 282 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: decides she doesn't want to do it. I just think 283 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: it's different than five years ago. I think it's really different. 284 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: And the telling quote to me with Simone Vials was 285 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: I can't wait for the Olympics to be over. The 286 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: great Bob Costas will join us coming up next year 287 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: on The Dan Patrick Show. It's amazing.

And the difference between this, we hope, 313 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 1: and how you see them on TNT, where it's so 314 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 1: terrific with Ernie and the Gang, is that this will 315 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 1: be a more extended conversation. I'm sure a lot of 316 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 1: it will be very funny. Almost inevitably it'll be provocative. 317 00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: So we'll have that, and then we have Ali Ray, 318 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 1: which turns out to be even more timely than we 319 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: thought when we booked it.

I did the 330 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: On the Record Show from A one through eight on HBO, 331 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: and then when the Baseball Network came into existence, they 332 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: wanted me to be part of that, and baseball is 333 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: my favorite sports, so I wanted to do it, and 334 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: HBO at that time said, hey, we want you to stay, 335 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: but you got to choose. So I chose the Baseball 336 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: and reluctantly left HBO behind. Otherwise I would have just 337 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: stayed indefinitely. Now things have changed a little bit, they 338 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 1: invited me back. I'm only doing four of them a 339 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: year at this point. Dan, you know you're working five 340 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: days a week. That's that's not my ideal situation anymore. 341 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: So it's supposed to be quarterly. We got pushed back 342 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: a couple of times by COVID, so we'll do one 343 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: a month for the next four months just to get 344 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: the four in for twenty twenty one. The next year 345 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: will go on a quarterly cycle. And I think the 346 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 1: idea is HBO already has real sports. It's the sixty 347 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: minutes of sports. It's fantastic on its own terms. We're 348 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: not trying to replicate that, not trying to replicate what 349 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: we see on a daily or weekly basis on cable 350 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: TV sports coverage. I just hope that on its own 351 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: terms it's good. I hope that there's some depth to it, 352 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: some entertainment to it. I hope it brings to bear 353 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: some of the things I've done reasonably well over the 354 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: course of my career. Who is your favorite guest from 355 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: on the record, Well, the one they talk about the 356 00:19:55,119 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: most is Vince McMahon. It was good television, HBO, no rules, 357 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: and it was live. It turned out to be twenty 358 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: seven twenty eight minutes of unremitting tension, and then after 359 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 1: he went storming off the set, all we had was 360 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,479 Speaker 1: like a twenty second bumper to get me to the 361 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: next set up on the set. So I walk over 362 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: and sit down, and the next guest is Bob Knight. 363 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 1: I said, coach, this is the one or only time 364 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: in your life when your presence will lower the temperature 365 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: in the room. Did you think Vince McMahon was gonna 366 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: hit you? No, No, I knew he was, obviously, you know, 367 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 1: getting very very angry. That was authentic. He was very 368 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 1: very angry, and I think he was trying to intimidate 369 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: me through body language and jabbing a finger at me. 370 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: But you know, maybe I'm just dumb, but I never 371 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: thought he was going to smack me. Okay, So now 372 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: he goes storming off, and you know how heavy the 373 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 1: doors are. It was studio. He slammed that thing as 374 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: if it was a screen door on your back porch 375 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: in Maybury. I mean you could hear the thing reverberate. 376 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: And so now the show is over and the stage 377 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: manager and someone that count from up. Hey, Bob, if 378 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: you had jumped here, we had your back. Wait a minute, 379 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: you're over here behind a mile like table. I'm six 380 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: inches from this, madman. Can you watch the Olympics as 381 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 1: a fan. Now, yeah, yeah, you know. I watched it casually, 382 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: just like I did the twenty eighteen Winter Games from 383 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 1: pyeong Chang. I'm interested not only in some of the competition, 384 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: but in how my former colleagues and longtime friends are doing. 385 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: I've texted a few of them before and during the Games. 386 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: But I'm not obsessed with it. I'm not sitting there 387 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: monitoring it. If I PLoP down on the couch and 388 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: something's going on, then I check it out. And of 389 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: all the great things you did with the Olympics, and 390 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: I'm sure pink eye conjunctividus still comes up, certainly in 391 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,719 Speaker 1: the time of the Olympics. How often does it come up? 392 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: It comes up pretty frequently, and I know it's part 393 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: of my obituary. And in the darker recesses of the 394 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 1: internet there are bizarre theories as to how I contracted it's, 395 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: none of which are remotely true. You know, but you 396 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: have to have a sense of humor about it. At 397 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 1: the time. I tried to just you know, acknowledge it. 398 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: You had to. If you just felt lousy, you you 399 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: go to work. We've all done that. If I had 400 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: a broken leg it would have been in a cast 401 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 1: under the desk, wouldn't have to refer to it. But 402 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: it was literally written right there on my face. So 403 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: I just tried to have a line or two to 404 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: acknowledge it and then move on as best I could. 405 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: But the amazing thing is that some people think that 406 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: I am subject to illness and specifically pink eye only 407 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 1: during the Olympics. So we go from twenty fourteen to 408 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:42,239 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen in Rio and it's like, Bob, how are 409 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: your eyes? What is it only doing that specific quadrennial 410 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: period that I'm going to get pink Wait? Do you 411 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: have it this week? You didn't get it that list 412 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: this week? No? Okay, okay, no, I think I pulled 413 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: a hamstring getting out of bed. But apart from that, 414 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: when you know the results and it's tape delayed, but 415 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: do you have to can you present it? Or is 416 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: the feeling to present it in a way that hey, 417 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: I'm going to act as if I don't know what happened. No. 418 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: I think what we always tried to do is acknowledge 419 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: on the first night of competition, not the opening ceremony, 420 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: but the first night of full competition. If it was 421 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: the circumstance where all of it had to be presented 422 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 1: on tape or a substantial amount. You acknowledge that, and 423 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:31,959 Speaker 1: then you try and use the right tense instead of 424 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: is going for his or her second gold medal? Was 425 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: going for his or her second gold medal. I'm sure 426 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 1: there were unintentional slip ups occasionally, but you try to 427 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 1: let them know up front this is what it is. 428 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: You don't reiterate it every night, because some people want 429 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: to experience it as they're watching it. If not as 430 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: it happens. We hear that all the time. If you 431 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: don't want to know the result, turn away. But now, 432 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: as the world has changed just a whole lot since 433 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,199 Speaker 1: my first Olympics in nineteen eighty eight, we know that 434 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 1: millions and millions of people are aware of what's happened, 435 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: but millions more still just want to see it with 436 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: the full presentation, with the backstories and the features and 437 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: everything else. The most extreme was Sydney in two thousand, 438 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: where you're literally a world away and some of the 439 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: events that I was leading into the next day, not 440 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: only did I know the result, I had attended them 441 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: the night before, and I'm reading about them in the 442 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: Sydney newspapers as I'm in the car on the way 443 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: to the studio. So I felt then as if I 444 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: was on the History Channel. You didn't have a cutaway 445 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: of you in the crowd where you then commented on 446 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: you being in the crowd while you were hosting the Olympics, 447 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: did you you know? I was not bright enough to 448 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: demand that. That would have been very amusing, but it 449 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: didn't happen. How often have you doubted yourself when you're broadcasting? 450 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 1: You know, I don't want to get too deeply into this, 451 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: but when you're doing play by play, in my case 452 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:13,199 Speaker 1: baseball now and you get into your sixties, you have 453 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,199 Speaker 1: to realize that unless you really watch it, you're not 454 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 1: exactly as sharp as you used to be. You know, 455 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: during COVID before there were any games, both the NBA 456 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:29,199 Speaker 1: network and the Baseball Network, we're showing classic games and 457 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,199 Speaker 1: I would stumble across some of them. In fact, I 458 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 1: think it was on your show, Dan, when Al Michaels 459 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: and I were on at the same time, and Al said, 460 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: I'm on three networks at once, football, Baseball and NBA games, 461 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: and on occasion I was on at least two at once. 462 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: And then YouTube toss this stuff out there, stuff you 463 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: don't even remember doing or haven't thought about in a 464 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: long time. And I contrast the level of sharpness from 465 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: the eighties and nineties. You know, I think I'm still 466 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: pretty sharp, But is there a fall off that at 467 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: least I can recognize from maybe one hundred percent to 468 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: ninety two percent or ninety three percent on occasion. Yeah, 469 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: and so maybe like a pitcher whose stuff has changed 470 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,439 Speaker 1: but can still be effective, you change your approach a 471 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 1: little bit. UM, So I have to be careful. And 472 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: the other thing that that's happened is, um, you know, 473 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: your eyesight isn't quite as good as as you get older. Um. 474 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: And so in baseball, unlike basketball or something that wouldn't 475 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: affect you much, in baseball, you're calling the game, you've 476 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: got a monitor in the booth. But if there's a 477 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: long fly ball to the outfield and you're recessed from 478 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 1: the backstop by I don't know how many feet, but 479 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 1: you're probably at that point six hundred seven hundred feet away. 480 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: With the naked eye, you can't one hundred percent trust 481 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 1: yourself on the flight of the ball. So you gotta go. 482 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: You gotta go off the monitor. So I tend to 483 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,640 Speaker 1: I tend to slow things down a little bit rather 484 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: rather than just kind of jumping on it right way, 485 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 1: I try to be a little bit more cautious. What 486 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: a boring answer, but you asked. But then you had 487 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 1: the luxury of a Showhyotani home run where you don't 488 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: have to go. I don't know if that's going to 489 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: get out of here. Yeah, I remember, Can you remember? 490 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 1: And you've been at the ballpark all your life? But 491 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: the sound is different, Bob with Showhyotani. Yeah, there have 492 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 1: been through the years a handful of hitters for whom 493 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: that applies. I remember the late great Buck O'Neill talking 494 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,919 Speaker 1: about that and saying when he closed his eyes he 495 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: knew it was Babe Ruth or Josh Gibson the other 496 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 1: one he sided from the Negro leagues, and then later 497 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,439 Speaker 1: on Mickey Mantle and then after that Bo Jackson. I 498 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,719 Speaker 1: think showhy is on that short list where literally if 499 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 1: you turn your back during batting practice, the sound coming 500 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: off their bats was different. Yeah, I would go. You 501 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: could go and just listen to batting practice with Otani 502 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 1: and be entertained. You don't even have to watch because 503 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 1: I love the It's in your mind, like, oh my god, 504 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: where's that gone? It's like radio. If you listen that, 505 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: you just hear the crack of the bat and it's 506 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: just it's setan. Do you have Shohei Otani's home run 507 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 1: from last night? See if we can? Okay, here you go. 508 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: It sounds like it's out of a cartoon, doesn't It 509 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: sure does. And you know, people talk about the launch 510 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,360 Speaker 1: angle approach and some are critical of it because it's 511 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: part of what's created these three perfect outcomes strikeout, walk, 512 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: home run, deprived baseball of action. But when you have 513 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: someone who's perfected it. If Ted Williams saw Shoheyo Tani, 514 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: he would approve of Shohei's approach. It is a perfect 515 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: natural uppercut swing. But he also excels at putting the 516 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: ball in play. I mean, here's a guy who'll pitch 517 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: six innings for you, maybe six shutout innings. I haven't 518 00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: checked recently, but at one point he led the league 519 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: in triples, He steals basses, he does everything. Is he 520 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: better than Babe Ruth? So difficult to compare Ruth when 521 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: he was primarily pitching. Was what are the great pitchers 522 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: of his time and would have made the Hall of 523 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: Fame as a pitcher. And then when he became primarily 524 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: a hitter, almost exclusively, he dominated the league in a 525 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: way that no one else has in baseball. It's comparable 526 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: to Will Chamberlain averaging fifty in basketball, or Wayne Gretzky's 527 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: gap over everyone else and goals assistant total points before 528 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: the rest of baseball sort of caught up Ruth. Ruth 529 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: was hitting more home runs than entire teams, but he 530 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: never blended hitting and pitching at this level of effectiveness 531 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: the way Otani did. So you can make a case 532 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: for Otani looking at it from that perspective, another case 533 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: for Ruth from the other perspective, and then you just 534 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: have to say, wait a minute. You know, comparing eras 535 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: and the circumstances under which they competed makes it an 536 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: interesting parlor game, but you can never arrive at a 537 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: definitive answer. You remember your first game in person? Yeah? Yeah, well, 538 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: actually I got to give two answers to this. My dad, 539 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if he was prescient or it was 540 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: just luck. In nineteen fifty seven, I'm five years old. 541 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: He took me to a game at ebbetts Field, so 542 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: I can Sarah went to a game at ebots Field. 543 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: I don't remember anything except how green the grass was. 544 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: And you've heard people tell that story all the time. 545 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: It's like Dorothy arriving in oz and it goes from 546 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: black and white to color, because all anybody had then 547 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: was a black and white television set with a tiny screen. 548 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: I don't remember any particulars of the game. He also 549 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: took me to one at the Polo Grounds, and as 550 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 1: I'm sitting on his shoulders towards the back of the grandstand, 551 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: he said to me, Bobby, look at that player right there. No, No, 552 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: not that one, the one in the middle. That's Willie Mays, 553 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: as if he was farsighted enough to know that that 554 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: would be something I'd want to remember for the rest 555 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: of my life, as if he were saying, Son, that's 556 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: the Washington Monument, that's the Eiffel Tower, that's Willie May's. 557 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: But I don't remember any particulars of the game. The 558 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: game I remember. I was seven and my dad took 559 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 1: me to a late season game between the Orioles and 560 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: the Yankees at the Old Yankee Stadium, and I was heartbroken. 561 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: That Mantel didn't play that day, and the Orioles won 562 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: the game seven to two, and back then you could leave. 563 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: They'd let the fans leave by walking around the warning 564 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: track and then they'd open up the bullpen gates and 565 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: you poured out into the street where the elevated subway was. 566 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: So we walk around and it's on inspiring enough, the 567 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: old Yankee Stadium, the wedding cake facade, the three decks 568 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 1: of the whole thing. But then the monuments, and there 569 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: were only three of them at that time. The monuments 570 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 1: were on the field because centerfield was four hundred and 571 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: sixty one feet from home plate. So the three monuments 572 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: to Ruth Geig and their manager, Miller Huggins are right 573 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: there with the flagpole behind it. And we get to 574 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: monuments and what would any seven year old kids think? 575 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: I thought they were buried there on the warning track. 576 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: I honestly thought that this was the sacred Yankee burial 577 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: ground and Joe DiMaggio would be interred there. And eventually, 578 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: this is the part that really got to me, Mickey 579 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 1: Mantle was going to be buried there, and I started 580 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: to cry. My father's trying to assure me, Yeah, these 581 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: three guys are dead, but they're buried someplace else. Given 582 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: the craziness of this sports collecting business, how valuable are 583 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: your baseball cards? Your Mickey Mantle card? You know, the 584 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: one that I save is from nineteen fifty eight, the 585 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 1: first one I remember getting out of a top pack 586 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 1: tops bubblegum cards. I imagine that one's worth since it's 587 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: in pretty good condition, somewhere in the single digits in 588 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: the thousands, maybe four or five thousand, but you know, 589 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: a mint condition nineteen fifty two Mantle. There was a 590 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 1: big story Selean Sports Illustrated about this. Those are going 591 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: for them into the millions of dollars. Bob has got 592 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: his new show.

I said, 616 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna keep moving. I'm gonna go in 617 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 1: the back row and talk to Fritzie. That's how much 618 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,439 Speaker 1: I don't want to get involved in this conversation. He's 619 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: got an MVP. He's going to the Hall of Fame. 620 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: And I go, I don't think so. Why do you 621 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: guys think Bryce Harper such a disappointment. He's playing really, 622 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,240 Speaker 1: really well right now. He's got an amazing career going, Paulie, 623 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: Bryce Harper is a very good player. He wanted to 624 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 1: you have no idea what Bryce har about this year? 625 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: You have no idea. Yeah, he's having a very good 626 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: year for him. He's having a great year. Did you 627 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,799 Speaker 1: know that before? I told you that five minutes ago. 628 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 1: Now I can tell you what he did the past 629 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,760 Speaker 1: three years when he didn't make the All Star team. Also, 630 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 1: we we got into Steven Strasburg, who's out for the year. 631 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 1: I think that's why paul he was asking about it. 632 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: I wrote a pole question mcloven to keep in his 633 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,839 Speaker 1: back pocket. Sure thing, athletes who didn't make the Hall 634 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: of Fame most surprising, and so Bryce Harper. It's fair 635 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 1: to say he's ten years in. He's been top five 636 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: for MVP once out of ten seasons, and he won 637 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 1: it that year. Okay, but it's fair to say he's 638 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 1: a career two seventy seven hitter who averages about thirty 639 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 1: three home runs a year. He's a very good player. 640 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:35,799 Speaker 1: He's twenty eight. He's cooled off too. We don't talk 641 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 1: about him, you know. I think that's probably why it 642 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: feels like he's underachieved. And he was on the cover 643 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated. We heard about him when he was what 644 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 1: sixteen or seventeen. He was living up to the hype, 645 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 1: but then it felt like it was hype yet that 646 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: he wasn't actually producing as much as you would expect 647 00:35:56,160 --> 00:36:00,160 Speaker 1: from him. So he's obviously a very good ball player. 648 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:05,400 Speaker 1: Is he a Hall of Famer? I mean, he's going 649 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 1: to be compared to Mike Trout and that's not a 650 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:12,439 Speaker 1: fair comparison. But he's not Mike Trout. He's got six 651 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,760 Speaker 1: All Star appearances at twenty eight. I mean he's definitely 652 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 1: got a shot. He's popular, He's he's pretty popular, and 653 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: that's how you make the All Star team. He's pretty 654 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 1: productive too. Dale Junior is the most popular driver and 655 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: he's not even driving anymore. He wasn't a top five driver, 656 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 1: but he was the most popular. He's got one big problem. 657 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,360 Speaker 1: The shift is a destroyer of men. And he's not 658 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 1: a love like. There are a lot of good left 659 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:42,280 Speaker 1: data hitters, see I never I should have just kept walking, 660 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,800 Speaker 1: just should have just keep walking back and actually talked 661 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:47,760 Speaker 1: to Todd or just let him talk and I actually 662 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 1: I ac I'm listening. Yeah, yeah, nice inside the park. 663 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 1: Orme more the last night him flying around the base 664 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 1: against the Braves. You go get the ball out of 665 00:36:54,600 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 1: the ballpark. It's great, yes to think laughing. Get asked, 666 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 1: is Strasburg since he did win that World Series? Has 667 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 1: he gone out of the disappointment category? Was out enough? Well? 668 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 1: Did he disappoint or did the analysts disappoint us? Because 669 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,719 Speaker 1: they're the ones that said this guy can't miss the 670 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 1: same analyst who probably said Mark Pryor can't miss for 671 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 1: the Chicago Cubs. When you say somebody can't miss, then 672 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 1: what's the ceiling and then what's the floor. Strasburg has 673 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:28,880 Speaker 1: been very good. He's not great. You're not going to 674 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,879 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. He's not sure zer, but he 675 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:36,319 Speaker 1: has been He's been great at times. I remember when 676 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: he was when he first started throwing the minor leagues. 677 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 1: We had Bob costas On and John Smoltz. They were 678 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 1: calling the game. They were talking about as if he 679 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 1: was Cy Young or Walter Johnson. And sometimes what happens 680 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 1: is you want to bubble wrap these players and you know, 681 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 1: you coddle them a little bit, and then your agent 682 00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 1: Scott Morris, and he's probably saying, hey, don't overwork my picture. 683 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 1: You know, if you want him to resign, you got 684 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: to make sure that you're not overworking. Okay. So I 685 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,759 Speaker 1: think Strasburg has been a good to very good, but 686 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 1: I don't know he'd it'd be pretty hard to live 687 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 1: up to that high. YEAHMI club is Jacob deGrom. By 688 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,240 Speaker 1: the way I know this, he feels like he's already 689 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,360 Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer and he's barely you know, his 690 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 1: numbers are still on the rise. But if he wins 691 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: two more Cy Young's. But can he do that health wise? 692 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,319 Speaker 1: That's what I was wondering. Well, if he does, he's 693 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,879 Speaker 1: going to be in the Hall of Fame. I don't 694 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,880 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be win total because he's not going 695 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,880 Speaker 1: to have big numbers there. But Jacob Degram didn't have 696 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 1: the build up of some of these other pictures where 697 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 1: you're like, okay, let's see what you got. It was 698 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,719 Speaker 1: like Jacob Degram and then he's part of a couple 699 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,319 Speaker 1: other pictures with the Mets. Yeah, it's really too bad 700 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 1: for de Gram because this year he was on his 701 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,440 Speaker 1: way to a historical season. In fifteen starts, his ear 702 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 1: RA was one point eight No. One point eight, one 703 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 1: point oh eight. That'd been historical by far. Deshaun Watson 704 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,279 Speaker 1: on the practice field with a helmet on. He is 705 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:08,320 Speaker 1: wearing a mask for COVID and he's got his red 706 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 1: quarterback jersey on to protect him. It appears he's going 707 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,879 Speaker 1: to work out for the Texans here. And if I'm 708 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,919 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, I want to push this a little bit. 709 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 1: I mean, a peer innocent. I want to be out 710 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,839 Speaker 1: there playing and if you think I'm a distraction, then 711 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 1: trade me. So I have to be careful though, because 712 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 1: I'm not siding with Deshaun Watson with what happened off 713 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 1: the field. I am just looking at him as what 714 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,439 Speaker 1: are his rights? What should he be able to do? 715 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 1: Are you cleared? Yes? Have you been charged with anything? No? 716 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 1: Is the NFL doing anything yet? No team doing anything? No? 717 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,759 Speaker 1: Then he should be able to be out there practicing. 718 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 1: Now you can say we don't want you out there, 719 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:59,360 Speaker 1: you're a distraction, conduct detrimental, but you can only suspend 720 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,719 Speaker 1: him for four games? Is that fair to him? De 721 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,400 Speaker 1: Shaun wants. Yeah, mcclub, this is really a mess for 722 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 1: the NFL. Is this kind of their worst case scenario? Yeah? Yes, absolutely. 723 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:16,759 Speaker 1: The quarterbacking situation in San Francisco is also interesting. With 724 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, the Niners head coach, was talking about who's 725 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:23,960 Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the room right now with the 726 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,759 Speaker 1: forty nine ers anytime, and guy's playing a lot better 727 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: than the guy in front of him. Is when you 728 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 1: start to split reps up with that team and start 729 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,479 Speaker 1: to talk about it. But you know, Tracey has seven 730 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,719 Speaker 1: practices with us and I haven't seen him for forty days. 731 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,160 Speaker 1: So not thinking about that right now. Just having Jimmy going, 732 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,319 Speaker 1: he's our starter, and you're gonna give all those guys 733 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 1: every opportunity to improve, and someone ever looks like to 734 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 1: give us a better chance to win, we'll make that 735 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:53,239 Speaker 1: decision then. Yes, dude, I don't even think Trey Lance 736 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 1: is signed yet. It's a he's done. Yeah, Jimmy's the starter. 737 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: We don't even have another quarterback yet any Just talking 738 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,399 Speaker 1: about you know, offseason workouts here, Yeah, he send them out. 739 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,960 Speaker 1: He hadn't Hey hadn't been around thirty thirty days, Like 740 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,799 Speaker 1: he's sending a message here. Yeah, Garoppolo is the best 741 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:13,040 Speaker 1: quarterback in the room right now. That's not a ringing 742 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,280 Speaker 1: endorsement for a team that probably flirted with the Packers 743 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,360 Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady and they drafted Trey Lance. 744 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,520 Speaker 1: He's the best quarterback in the room right now. Yeah, 745 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,839 Speaker 1: Paul coach, which is a better quarterback the one who 746 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,239 Speaker 1: led you to the Super Bowl and almost one of 747 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, with the one who's not 748 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,120 Speaker 1: signed as an FCS player, who's about eighteen years old. 749 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,360 Speaker 1: By the way, I know we have this blanket stamp 750 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 1: of approval on Patrick Mahomes. If you look at his 751 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:42,799 Speaker 1: Super Bowl numbers, they are pedestria and and he's won 752 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,320 Speaker 1: one and he's lost one. If he had lost the 753 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,440 Speaker 1: second one or lost the first one to the Niners, 754 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:54,320 Speaker 1: I mean, would we be talking differently about Patrick Mahomes 755 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 1: over rad We would be saying, lin, can he win 756 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,160 Speaker 1: the big One? I don't know, I don't know this 757 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,279 Speaker 1: is I mean John Elways super Bowl stats weren't good either. 758 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 1: I mean they're actually they're bad. Patrick Mahomes, They're not 759 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:17,800 Speaker 1: good either. Four picks, two touchdowns in two Super Bowls 760 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 1: for Patrick Mahomes. Right now, you can say, way he 761 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,719 Speaker 1: faced great defenses, Yeah he did. It gets hard to 762 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,600 Speaker 1: get to a super Bowl. You go, man, we're glad 763 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,839 Speaker 1: they have a crappy defense. Yes. Why does it feel 764 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,279 Speaker 1: like wrong that you're saying that that? I might know 765 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:36,080 Speaker 1: because everybody has declared him, like that's best quarterback in football. 766 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,040 Speaker 1: I okay, he hasn't been great and super Bowl yes, 767 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 1: when he signed that deal, I remember we were talking like, 768 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,520 Speaker 1: you know, there's just as much chance that he's not 769 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,880 Speaker 1: going to be good the next ten years too, like 770 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,200 Speaker 1: he's not guaranteed to get another seven rings or something. 771 00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 1: But he's been christen the best quarterback. And then when 772 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,359 Speaker 1: you bring up the Super Bowl and people are like, wait, what, Yeah, 773 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,279 Speaker 1: he hasn't done much in the Super Bowl. If they 774 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,120 Speaker 1: don't get those if San Francisco gets a first down, 775 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:08,280 Speaker 1: it doesn't win. A Super Bowl might be different. Dale 776 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 1: Junior got some serious talks conversation with Dale Junior. He'll 777 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 1: join us coming up as well.
