Tonight, 9 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 2: we'll get to the NFL preseason takeaways, Hard Knocks, Johnny Manziel. 10 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 2: We've got the trivia game that resumes at midnight, Round five. 11 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 2: We've got the stories. We cover it all. But for me, 12 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 2: I want to begin with the story this week that 13 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 2: stuck out the most then stuck in my crawl, having 14 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 2: to do with well it rhymes with Ericbenemy and I'm 15 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 2: about to have the enemies back in a big way. 16 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 2: Dodgers fans, and you're listening on five seventy am and 17 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 2: Los Angeles, I know you remember the eighty eight Dodgers 18 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 2: and they want it all, perhaps one of the more 19 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 2: storied teams in the entire Dodgers' history, thanks to what 20 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 2: Kirk Gibson did. It all started in spring training when 21 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 2: Jesse Rosco decided to pull a prank and pull a 22 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 2: little lampblack and Gibbe's in the bill of his cap 23 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 2: and we put his cap on. He had black all 24 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 2: over his face and everybody's laughing, and Gibby doesn't know 25 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 2: what's going on. And finally someone held a mirrorup to 26 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 2: him and told him and Gibb you lost his mind. 27 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 2: He looked at all of him and said, you're all 28 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: a bunch of clowns. No wonder you don't want a 29 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 2: damn thing here, and now wanted to have him one 30 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,479 Speaker 2: in seven years. Your head's not in the right spot. 31 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 2: It changes now. He set a tone. He set a tone, 32 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 2: and the Dodgers won the World Series that year, obviously 33 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 2: the famous hit bat off of Dennis Eckersley. You know, 34 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 2: in case you haven't noticed, football is an emotional, violent game. 35 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 2: In case you haven't noticed, what worked with the Washington 36 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 2: What the hell do you want to call him? Redskins 37 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 2: football team commanders? It didn't work last year. What worked 38 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 2: last year didn't work last year, matter of fact, hasn't 39 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 2: worked in seven years. That offense is not ranked above 40 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 2: twentieth in points or yards per game in seven years. 41 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 2: You know when Vince Lombardi was hired by Curly lambole 42 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 2: to take over the last place Green Bay Packers many 43 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 2: a year ago, Curly Lambeo called him in after the 44 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 2: first practice and said, I need an evaluation. What's wrong 45 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 2: with my team? He says, it's real simple. You got 46 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 2: fifty three guys on the roster in forty six can't 47 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 2: play football? Lombardy fixed. It sounds to me like Eric 48 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 2: the Enemy is trying to change the culture. He's bringing 49 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 2: an attitude, He's making an attitude adjustment. He's interjecting things like, 50 00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: you know, accountability and pride and work ethic and here's 51 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 2: where I throw the flag to imply, well, this might 52 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 2: be the reason Letter Banavie is not getting a head 53 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 2: coaching jobs. People that make statements like that, I guarantee 54 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 2: you you don't have as many connections in the NFL 55 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 2: as I do. I've had some good conversations a long 56 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 2: time with people, and you know why b enemy hasn't 57 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 2: gotten a job yet? Only be enemy knows. You don't know. 58 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 2: And I want to harken back to a great conversation 59 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 2: I had with a guy by the name of Tony 60 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 2: Dungee in January of two thousand and four in Kansas 61 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 2: City when Dungee's colts were in town to play the 62 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 2: Chiefs in the playoffs. And I was there that day 63 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,119 Speaker 2: and I asked for and got access. I've always said 64 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 2: when I grow up, I want to be Tony Dungee's 65 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 2: one of the most elegant human beings delivered beet in 66 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 2: your life. We struck up a conversation and it came 67 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 2: up because in the nineties, as an assistant with Pittsburgh, 68 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 2: Tony Dungee was the Eric Enemy of the nineties. Kept 69 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 2: getting interviews, couldn't get jobs. People had their reasons, they 70 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 2: didn't know. I'll never forget what Tony Dungee told me. 71 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: He said, you know, I was close to getting two jobs. 72 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 2: Actually I was about to get two jobs. And as 73 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 2: a final check, the box the owner called me in 74 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 2: to have a conversation. In both cases, he said, Tony, 75 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 2: I just need to know something. Football is a violent, 76 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 2: emotional game. I know you're your demeanor. I'm going to 77 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 2: need you and now and then to raise a little hell, 78 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 2: drop a few f bombs, scream and yell, throw some chairs, 79 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 2: fire a team up if the situation warrants it. I 80 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 2: just don't know if you can do that, and I 81 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 2: think you have to have that gear if you're going 82 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 2: to coach in the NFL. Tony Dungee, being the elegant, 83 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 2: stoic man he is, looked at each owner and said, 84 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 2: I can't do that. First of all, it's not my nature. 85 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 2: Second of all, I don't really even think that works. 86 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 2: And three if I were to try to do that, 87 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 2: they'd see right through it. And the owners both thanked 88 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 2: him and said, Tony, thanks for your candor. I think 89 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 2: I'm going to have to pass. They were ready to 90 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 2: hire Tony Dungee, but because he was not willing to 91 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 2: do what Eric Bietaby does because that's his style, he 92 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 2: didn't get two jobs. Interestingly enough, finally Tampa Bay and 93 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 2: Malcolm Blazer comes along and they have the same identical conversation. 94 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 2: Tony gives the identical answer, I can't do that. I 95 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: don't think it works. It's not my nature, and if 96 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: I were to try that, it would perre disingenuous laser thought, 97 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 2: leaned back in his chair says, you know what, Tony, 98 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 2: You've turned me around. I understand. See all styles work 99 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 2: and all styles don't work. Believe me, the strong silent 100 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 2: type works as well. Football is a violent, emotional game, 101 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 2: even on the high school level. She shar remember of 102 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 2: high school coach is yelling at me, yelling at us. 103 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 2: Had a coach looing over to me once says son, 104 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,799 Speaker 2: you know I'm so hard on you. Why coach, Because 105 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 2: someday when your wife leaves you for the drummer and 106 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 2: the band, and the band foe closes on your house, 107 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 2: you'll be able to handle it. I'm seventeen years old 108 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 2: and I'm looking up and go, coach, what's foreclothes mean? 109 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,119 Speaker 2: Took a couple decades later. I know what he meant. 110 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 2: Don't people get it? Beone me has said it. There's 111 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 2: no mystery here. He said quote, I'm always going to 112 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,799 Speaker 2: be loud, I'm always going to be vocal. I'm always 113 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 2: going to demand from my leaders. And it seemed to 114 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 2: work in Kanasdas City. He can't tell me he didn't 115 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 2: have nothing to do with Kansas City success. I just 116 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 2: went sparky Anderson double negative there. B Enemy went on 117 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 2: to say, qote, If I ain't doing my job, my 118 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 2: ass kids fired it's my job, my responsibility to make 119 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 2: sure I'm getting our guys to do what I'm expecting 120 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 2: them to do. Remember, Washington hired the Ennemy this offseason. 121 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,679 Speaker 2: You know, ten years in Kansas City and he including 122 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 2: the last five as the OC when they won two 123 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 2: Super Bowls. Ron Rivera hired the Enemy specifically to inject 124 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 2: a spark into the offense that again has ranked in 125 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 2: the bottom third on yards and points in the last 126 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 2: seven years. By the way, it's also a critical year 127 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 2: for Ron Rivera. He's entering his fourth season and there's 128 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 2: no Daniel Snyder there anymore. He was not hired by 129 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 2: Josh Harris. Josh Harris is the new one. Ow So 130 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 2: Benemy joins the staff by the reputation of being intense, 131 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,119 Speaker 2: being demanding. His approach has been evident during the spring 132 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 2: and summer practices. And I understand I'm not a practice. 133 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 2: He can be heard more than any other coach, whether 134 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 2: he's correcting a player, praising a player, and I, okay, 135 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 2: some Commanders players concerned by his intensity, and maybe they'll 136 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 2: have a little complaint. I don't like that one bit. 137 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 2: I don't like that one bit. The Enemy is who 138 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 2: he is. He says, I want our guys to understand 139 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 2: we don't take anything for granted. You see me pull 140 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 2: players have long discussions, so we're always on the same page. 141 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 2: Eric b Enemy he was talking to the third person. 142 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 2: Eric Beenemy is who he is. Eric Banemy knows how 143 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 2: to adapt and adjust. Eric Bnemy's a tough, hard nosed coach, 144 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 2: but also understand quote I'm going to be the biggest 145 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 2: and harshest critic, but also their number one fan. I 146 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 2: got their back all the time. So if some players 147 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 2: were a little concerned with how hard the enemy was 148 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 2: riding them, maybe that's what they need. And I know 149 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: Bienemy himself said he might be a little concerned about 150 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 2: how some players would handle his approach. Said I had 151 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 2: a number of guys come to me and say, I 152 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 2: got to just go talk to him. I understand what 153 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 2: he's trying to get across, and they go talk to him. 154 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 2: But it's enlightening. So it's an adjustment, okay. And let's 155 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 2: not also forget the enemy replaced the guy by the 156 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 2: name of Scott Turner was very low key and he 157 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 2: was also fired. And by the way, the players complained 158 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 2: about the offense under Scott Turner as well. So younger 159 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 2: players perhaps are coming out of programs that didn't deal 160 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 2: with coaches in intensity. Well, maybe that's what they Maybe 161 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 2: that's what they're missing. And I'm not talking about somebody 162 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 2: you know that's yelling indiscriminately, somebody that doesn't have the 163 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 2: cred somebody that doesn't have the pedigree. I think the 164 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 2: enemy has those things right. So the long and short 165 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 2: of it is, you have to sort of appreciate Eric 166 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 2: the Enemy. He's upfront and eye honest. I do think 167 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 2: he cares, and he's a communicator. You're always gonna know 168 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 2: where you stand with Eric the Enemy. And I think 169 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 2: if you look at what's for the greater good, for 170 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 2: this more abund Washington Commanders franchise, you have to ask yourself, 171 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 2: if you keep on doing what you've been doing, are 172 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 2: you not gonna keep on getting what you've been getting. 173 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 2: So the enemy, at the end of the day might 174 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 2: be exactly what the Washington Commanders needed. Commanders needed. We're 175 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 2: gonna find out. We're not gonna really find out till 176 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 2: after the new year. Let's let the season play out, 177 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 2: Let's let the results speak for themselves. But for me, 178 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,479 Speaker 2: from a matter of practicality, for a matter of objectivity, 179 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 2: for a matter of fairness, I got the enemies back here. 180 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 2: We'll see how it plays out, but obviously what the 181 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 2: commanders were doing wasn't working, and commit the enemy brings change. 182 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 2: I want to remind everybody the tyro Act sweep Steaks continue. 183 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 2: We've now had two grand winners who have taken home 184 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 2: a set of four brand new tires in the Summer 185 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 2: of Rack Sweepstakes, and the good news for you, one 186 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 2: winner still up for grabs.

And before I dive into the Raiders, which 237 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 2: we're heavily gonna do, I want to give you your flowers. 238 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 2: You never wavered from the fact that it was likely 239 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 2: that the Oaklan Ads would find their way here. And 240 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 2: there's still some wops to jump through, but it's a 241 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 2: fairly well, a faded complete, So props to you, thank you. 242 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 5: You know it was Is that the grand prize of 243 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 5: the consolation prize? Right? I guess that's what everybody's wondering. 244 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 2: But we'll find out in twenty thirty eight, I think, 245 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 2: when they get here. Yeah, exactly. So let's start with 246 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 2: the latest news. I covered the NFL for many, many 247 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 2: years in Detroit. I've never heard the classification of an 248 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 2: injury being crazy serious. So fortunately DeVante adams injury doesn't 249 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 2: look crazy serious. I'm hearing, calf. Can you give us 250 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 2: some insight as to what happened to DeVante Adams today? 251 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was in the team drills going up against 252 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 5: the forty nine ers and the joint practices today. It 253 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 5: was a clean hit, but he got hit pretty good 254 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,959 Speaker 5: and went down to the ground and was down there 255 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 5: for a little bit, not a ton of time, team 256 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 5: over to the sideline, was looked out by the medical people, 257 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 5: and then eventually walked into the complex on his own, 258 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 5: but was limping favoring that right leg. 259 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 4: And then after. 260 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 5: That, all we heard was the crazy serious, not crazy 261 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 5: serious from Josh McDaniels. And we're not likely to get 262 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 5: any type of update until after the forty nine Ers 263 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 5: and Raiders played their preseason game Sunday afternoon. 264 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 2: Do you expect him to suit up Sunday? 265 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 4: No, And he wasn't going to suit up anyway. 266 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 5: You know, the superstar players and starters for the Raiders 267 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 5: traditionally adopt played in the preseason. And Josh McDaniels was 268 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 5: pretty clear going into these joint practices with the forty 269 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 5: nine Ers that they were looking at it as a 270 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 5: three day process, the two days of practices in the game, 271 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 5: and it was just about kind of making sure everybody 272 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 5: got the right amount of reps through this process, right, 273 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 5: and if they got their rep in practice, and they 274 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 5: wouldn't play in the game. So we weren't just fitting 275 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 5: DeVante Adams to play at all. 276 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 2: Anyways, Yeah, fair enough. I would say I've been pleasantly 277 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 2: surprised that we're seeing a bit of a throwback a 278 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 2: lot of the games. We're seeing a lot of the 279 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 2: starters in various teams, including quarterbacks, getting a fair amount 280 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 2: of refs. But I agree with your assessment. Let's talk 281 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 2: about Josh Jacobs. He's not to be found, and the 282 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 2: Raiders have brought in a couple of running backs. It's 283 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 2: hard for me to believe, in light of what happened 284 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 2: to Le'Veon Bell, that Josh Jacobs wouldn't be there opening day. 285 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 2: What are you hearing? 286 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that there's no sense of panic going 287 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 5: on in the Raiders organization right now for that exact reason. 288 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 5: He's not under contract because he hasn't signed the franchise tag, 289 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 5: so he can't get fined. He's not a holdout because 290 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 5: of that situation, and these guys don't get paid until 291 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 5: the regular season game. So I anticipated that he'll be 292 00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 5: back probably sometimes. 293 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 4: I'm at the end of August, first. 294 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 5: Part of September to get ready for that September tenth 295 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 5: opener at Denver, and he stayed in pretty good shape. 296 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 5: We saw him just a right before training camp started 297 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 5: and he held a youth camp out here in Las Vegas, 298 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 5: and he looked to be in really good shape and 299 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 5: said that you know, he's ready to roll it because 300 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 5: he is familiar with the offense from last year. It's 301 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 5: not like your ears starting from ground zero. I think 302 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 5: that it's something that he can slide right back into. 303 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 2: Talking with Kevin Bohlinger, Sports director here Fox five Vegas, 304 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 2: Our Fox TV affiliate here in Las Vegas covers the 305 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 2: Raiders like a blanket. All right, So Derek Carr has gone, 306 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 2: Jimmy G is here, and I think a lot of 307 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 2: people have forgotten that Jimmy G and Josh McDaniels had 308 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 2: a pretty good history in New England years ago. I 309 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 2: got to believe that Jimmy G has probably done a 310 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 2: pretty good job of picking up that offense. What have you. 311 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 5: Observed, no question, and there have been some new wrinkles 312 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 5: that have been added obviously since Garoppolo was in New 313 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 5: England at mc daniels. 314 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 4: But I think that that's why the Raiders weren't overly worried. 315 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 5: About the fact that he had that surgery in the 316 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 5: offseason was going to have him miss all the Okas, because. 317 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 4: He already had a familiarity with the offense. He was 318 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 4: still going to be in the building. 319 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 5: And he has kind of come into training camp while 320 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 5: he's taking quote unquote maintenance days occasionally during training camp, 321 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 5: things have been kind of clicking along a little bit. 322 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 5: It's been a roller coaster, by everybody's admission. He's had 323 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 5: some bad days and he's had some really good days 324 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 5: through this process, but he also hasn't played since last November, 325 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 5: so he's got to knock the rust off a little bit. 326 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 5: And so that's what the Raider's going to try and 327 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 5: do before they get rolling in September. 328 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 2: Some of the biggest challenges the Raiders had last year 329 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 2: were on defense. What does the outlook at this point 330 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 2: on the defense in twenty twenty three, Kevin, Well. 331 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 4: There's still a lot of unknowns, Berdie. 332 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,199 Speaker 5: I mean, you got an extremely young linebacker core to 333 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 5: begin with that is going to be tested, no question, 334 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 5: and the defensive backs, I think, you know, that's what's 335 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 5: got a lot of people. 336 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 4: Excited, even though. 337 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 5: The fact that there are going to be some young guys. 338 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 5: But they did bring in Marcus Peters, who you know, 339 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 5: has had a ton of interceptions in this league over 340 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 5: his career, and the Raiders needed to get to that 341 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 5: ball hockey mentality and it's rubbing off on some of 342 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 5: these younger players. As a rookie who's really stood out 343 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 5: Jacory and Bennett out of Maryland who they drafted, who 344 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 5: has really made a mark so far in camp. But 345 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 5: over these last two days of the joint sessions, when 346 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 5: they've gone to seven on seven's and the eleven. On eleven, 347 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 5: the Raiders had six interceptions today against the forty nine ers, 348 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 5: and I believe they had four yesterday, So ten and 349 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 5: two days very unlike a Raiders the defense that we've 350 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 5: seen in the past few years, but certainly what they 351 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 5: know they have to do if they're going to turn 352 00:18:59,200 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 5: the corner. 353 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 2: Couple of Raiders who might be household names as the 354 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 2: season goes on, tell me about Trey Tucker. I understand 355 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 2: he's grease lightning. 356 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 5: He's got some speed and some versatility to him. The 357 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 5: interesting part is, you know, he's a speecher in Garoppolo 358 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 5: isn't really known as a quarterback and throws the ball 359 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 5: downfield a lot. So it'll be interesting to see how 360 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 5: they're going to use him. 361 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 4: But he has certainly turned a lot of. 362 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 5: Heads with his speed and somebody who as we start 363 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 5: the preseason on Sunday, I think a lot of people 364 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 5: want to see what he can do route running wise. 365 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 5: That could maybe make him an important part of this 366 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 5: offense potentially. 367 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 2: You know, Kevin, I always enjoyed the preseason when I 368 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 2: covered the Lions because it gave you a chance to 369 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 2: observe position battles and the progression of a draft choice 370 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 2: from year one to year two. I'm hearing that Sarah Munford, 371 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 2: who was a seventh round pick out of Ohio State 372 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 2: last year, is moving his way up to charts. It 373 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 2: could possibly start at offensive tackle this year. Tell me 374 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 2: about him. 375 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, that's really one of the position battles 376 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 5: for the Raiders that everybody has their eye on his 377 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,479 Speaker 5: right tackle. It has been a spot that they needed 378 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 5: to fill, and they have three guys that are kind 379 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 5: of in there. 380 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 4: Fair Mumford, Jermaine a Luminor. 381 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 5: Who did a nice job with that last year, and 382 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 5: Brandon Parker who was injured in the Hall of Fame 383 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,479 Speaker 5: game last year and missed the season. So their Mumford 384 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 5: is a big, big guy, I mean, he is your 385 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 5: prototypical tackle size wise, and he's come a long way 386 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 5: from year one to year two. 387 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 4: And Illuminaor is a very. 388 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 5: Versatile offensive lineman that is kind of a plug and 389 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 5: play type guy that could help them out, which is 390 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 5: exactly what Josh McDaniels and gentlemen Andrew Dave Ziggler liked 391 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 5: with their offensive lineman is guys that can fill a 392 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 5: lot of spots as needed. Because you're not going to 393 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 5: get out of a season queen on the offensive line. 394 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 5: So that's certainly a battle. The Mumford ilumin or Parker 395 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 5: battle here over the next couple of weeks is going 396 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 5: to be interesting to watch. 397 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 2: You know. I always say every day a new star 398 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 2: is born. The Raiders are thinking they might have a 399 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 2: couple on their defensive backfield, as they have pulled them out, 400 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 2: and then Christopher Smith from Georgia, a couple of youngsters. 401 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 2: Could they work their way obviously you need depth in 402 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 2: the secondary. Could they work their way into the starting lineup. 403 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think anything's out of the question at 404 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 4: this point. I mean, they have to do. 405 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 5: They've got to find the right fit to get the 406 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 5: job done because the a SC West, as we all know, 407 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 5: is just loaded with quarterbacks, loaded with offense. And if 408 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 5: they don't get people that can try and slow down 409 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 5: you know, the Chiefs and the Chargers, and even if 410 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,199 Speaker 5: the Broncos get things clicking under Sean Payton, you know, 411 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:52,400 Speaker 5: those that's six games that are critical in the season. 412 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 5: So I think that you know, they're gonna go with 413 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 5: who plays best here during training camp out of the gates, 414 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 5: but you better produce all the field because there's going 415 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 5: to be somebody else who's going to want to jump 416 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 5: in there, and I don't think they'll hesitate to make 417 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 5: adjustments throughout the season until they find the right fit. 418 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 2: Finally, last thing we fingers crossed. I've always been a 419 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 2: big Jimmy g fan. There's a reason he won seventy 420 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 2: percent of his games. Hopefully he stays healthy Brian Hoyer 421 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 2: in the wings should disaster happen. But tell me a 422 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 2: little bit about what you've observed out of Aidan O'Connell. 423 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 2: He was a walk on it Purdue. I understand he's 424 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 2: a very accurate pastor. I haven't seen him much, but 425 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 2: I'm always fascinated with stories like that. 426 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 5: There's been a lot of people that have compared him 427 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 5: to having a similar skill set to Tom Brady in 428 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 5: terms of how he handles himself in the pocket and 429 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,199 Speaker 5: what he does well. We all know that Josh McDaniels 430 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 5: has a long history with Tom Brady. 431 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 4: And had some pretty good success. 432 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 5: I would say, with him through the years. Not saying 433 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 5: that Aidan O'Connell was Tom Brady by any stretch of 434 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 5: the imagination. However, he's another one that you know, as 435 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 5: they go through this process of training camp. Uh, they're 436 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 5: gonna keep an eye on his progress and somebody that 437 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,719 Speaker 5: they think could maybe even slide into the number two 438 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 5: at some point you know during the season if he's 439 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 5: able to do that. 440 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 4: So there's some. 441 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 5: Excitement on on what he can do. 442 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 4: Uh, you know, with coming out of it. 443 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 5: I think it was a fourth round pick, so right 444 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 5: fourth to go from a walk on a Purdue. I 445 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 5: think he was seventh on the depth chart when he 446 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 5: started and worked his way into a starter. H And 447 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 5: you know, he's just he's a grinder. He's somebody's just 448 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 5: going to go in there and grind until he. 449 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 4: Gets the job done. 450 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 5: And and that's exactly the type of player that the 451 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 5: Raiders are looking for. 452 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 2: I love stories like that. Of course. I was a 453 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 2: WTK and ann Arburn Tom Brady was a freshman seventh 454 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 2: on the depth chart. So we shall see what we 455 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 2: shall see. Kevin, great stuff. As always, We'll get you 456 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 2: on again soon. 457 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 4: Always a pleasure.

So the preseason is here. It's 486 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 2: a chance to confirm what you think you believe, sort of. 487 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 2: You can't take anything away from preseason. I promise you 488 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 2: that I've joked about it. I tweeted it out last 489 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 2: year with my credential, I covered the greatest four to 490 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 2: zero preseason team of all time. The eight Detroit Lions 491 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 2: scored eighty points, only allowed their opponents thirty two, and 492 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 2: then proceeded to go one sixteen in the regular season. 493 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 2: By that Digress observations, the Jordan Love era began with 494 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers. Started out was a little late 495 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 2: in his timing on a goal route to Romeo Doves, 496 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 2: allowed the centerfielder to come over and swatted away, then 497 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 2: missed the crossing route to the tight end badly. But 498 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 2: then he settled in seven for ten against the Bengals, 499 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 2: he had won beautifully throwing touchdown to Romeo Dobbs, and 500 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 2: he was three for three in the red zone, and 501 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 2: that matters. You want to judge a quarterback. You look 502 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 2: at the red zone, you look at third down, you 503 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,439 Speaker 2: look at the fourth quarter. So early signs you'll take it. 504 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 2: I'm not so sure how Jordan Loves gonna be, but 505 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 2: I think Green Bay's got a very good roster, so 506 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 2: something to watch at least tonight. You don't go overboard 507 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 2: on one preseason performance. Love wasn't perfect, Like I said, 508 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 2: he missed badly on the throat of Loop Musgrave and 509 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 2: they had some drive stall. But here he is. He's 510 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 2: twenty four. It's time to take advantage of the opportunity. 511 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 2: He's been good. Given fingers crossed in Packer land. We 512 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 2: shall see, But for tonight, maybe they'll sleep a little better. 513 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 2: Speaking of quarterback competitions, the Tampa Bay Bucks the entered 514 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 2: Friday's preseason game against Pittsburgh to try to get a 515 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 2: differentiation between Baker Mayfield, who's the presumptive excuse me, favorite 516 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 2: to you know, get the starting gig. It's not a given, 517 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 2: it's not a given. It's been reported that no decision 518 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 2: has been made by the higher ups, and Kyle Trask 519 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 2: looks progressively better. Look I don't know. Baker Mayfield to 520 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 2: me is a guy who's really just kind of a 521 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 2: lightning round, maybe not as much as he used to be. Remember, 522 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 2: he took over a team in Cleveland that was one 523 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 2: and thirty one the prior two years and got to 524 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 2: the playoffs or third year, had Kansas City beating the 525 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 2: fourth quarter, defense couldn't hold it, and even beat Pittsburgh 526 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 2: in a playoff game the following year. Mayfield completed a 527 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 2: lot but one pass. But most of us throws tonight 528 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 2: were checked downs. Maybe they're not letting them do a lot, 529 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 2: had a couple solid rollouts, had a nice touchdown pass 530 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:45,880 Speaker 2: to Trey Palmer, and so the other thing about preseason, 531 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 2: you see a lot of vanilla defenses. You see a 532 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 2: lot of vanilla offenses, and Kyle Trask when he got in, 533 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 2: he was always in tough positions in terms of you know, 534 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,479 Speaker 2: they're starting spots on the field. First pass you threw 535 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 2: was a nice twenty three yard completion to David Moore, 536 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 2: but then he had a negative run and he had 537 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 2: a quick pass that put you know he was in 538 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 2: a bad position, forced the ball into coverage on third 539 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 2: nineteen through a pick. All right, So I think Baker 540 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 2: Mayfield will win the job. And I think what will 541 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 2: happen is you'll see Trask start the Bucks second game. 542 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 2: And Tampa Bay's got a new court offensive cordinator Dave Canalis, 543 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 2: so he's supposed to open up the offense a little 544 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 2: more as preseason goes on. No decisions in Tampa Bay 545 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 2: as of tonight, but I will say this, I still 546 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 2: think Baker Mayfield will win that job. Much was made 547 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 2: at Jamison Williams for lots of reasons. He was an 548 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 2: incredible speeds terra out Obama Lions drafted him twelfth overall 549 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 2: last year. Had a very dubious start. First, he tears 550 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 2: his ACL, unfortunately in the championship game. They still drafted 551 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 2: him twelve. Didn't get on the field till late you know, 552 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 2: k But now he's eighteen months removed the knee injury. 553 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 2: Remember he's suspended for six games. Had a bad tonight, 554 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 2: but the Lion's coaching staff is still praising him. Dan 555 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 2: Campbell just wants him to grind through this. He did 556 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 2: make a nice catch on one handed catch on a 557 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 2: two point conversion. But the knock on Jamison Williams so 558 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 2: far is he's not consistent. He's got to be dependable. 559 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 2: They need him to be a dependable downfield threat to 560 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 2: stretch that you know, stretch the defense, take the top 561 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 2: off the defense, stretch the field. He can be that player, 562 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,719 Speaker 2: but he needs a lot of refinement. So there's ways 563 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 2: to go now. Again, you can't take a hell of 564 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 2: a lot out of the preseason. But Cleveland's played two 565 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 2: games and Jim Schwartz, the new defensive coordinator of the 566 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns, all of a sudden that Brown's defense has 567 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 2: a little bit of swagger now tonight. Even you know, 568 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 2: when the starters were in they look pretty good against 569 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 2: the Washington Commanders, and people are talking about Miles Garrett 570 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 2: probably possibly being a perennial candidate for the Defensive Player 571 00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 2: of the Year, and you know, I would just say this. 572 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 2: And by the way, the Browns also signed a defensive 573 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 2: tackle in the offseason, Dalvin Tomlinson. Gave him fifty seven 574 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 2: million dollars. What he does, he upgrades their point of attack, 575 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 2: and so Cleveland has a very nice pass rush and 576 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 2: a very nice pass rush rotation, and as a matter 577 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 2: of fact, Washington felt that they got pushed around the 578 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 2: first drive. Their first drive, they got called for holding 579 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 2: stround out of sack. All of a sudden, they're in 580 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 2: third and thirty and the very next play you get 581 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 2: a safety when as a Darius Smith forced a holding 582 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 2: call in the end zone. Cleveland's defense genuinely has swagger. 583 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 2: But this is what Schwartz does. He did this in 584 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 2: Detroit too. Remember he almost got into a fight with 585 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh on the sign lines. This is many years 586 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 2: ago his back, like twenty twelve. But the point of 587 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 2: the matter is is that Schwartz is going to have 588 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 2: a scheme that's designed to attack the opposing quarterback, and 589 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 2: Cleveland actually has a personnel to do that, and they've 590 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 2: shown that in the preseason. So just a quick takeaway. Finally, 591 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 2: I wouldn't say it was a relatively uninspired start to 592 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 2: the Sean Payton tenures. The Denver Broncos head coach now 593 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 2: it in and out an upnoe Friday night because Russell 594 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 2: Wilson threw a twenty one yard touchdown pass to Jerry Judy, 595 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 2: But prior to that, the whole team looked like Judge Judy. 596 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 2: I mean, they really needed to make a play, and 597 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 2: they did, and that, you know, sort of prevented Sean 598 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 2: Payton's debut Friday Night from being completely ruined. So in 599 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 2: the preseason, you really hope the starting units perform, and 600 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 2: that's what matters. The Browns started to check that the 601 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 2: Broncos starting unit looked very lethargic. They looked very mistake 602 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 2: prone and frankly, not much of an upgrade over last 603 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 2: year's group if you look at the first twenty plays 604 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 2: of the game up until that point, I got to 605 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 2: tell you if Sean Payton had to be significantly disappointed 606 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 2: some tip passes, there was some consistent pressure applied by Arizona. 607 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 2: Jerry Judy looked like Judge Judy on one terrible drop 608 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 2: he made on a third down play. And then there 609 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 2: were a couple of miss field goals, so the Broncos 610 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 2: couldn't cash in any points. And all of a sudden, 611 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 2: you're saying to myself, my goodness, is this dejevu all 612 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 2: over again? Yogi? So I mean, obviously Peyton wanted to 613 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 2: send a message. He had his starters play well into 614 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 2: the second quarter, and they'd already had four drives in 615 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 2: the first quarter, and he made a played well into 616 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:39,239 Speaker 2: the second quarter. And you know, Peyton wants to do 617 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 2: everything in the opposite. Last year, he implied and stated 618 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 2: there were certain instances that the previous staff was incompetent. 619 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 2: Things would be different under his watch. And look, Peyton's 620 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 2: got a resume, man, He's got a pedigree, make no 621 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 2: mistake about that. He's won a Super Bowl, He's had 622 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 2: winning records. No one can argue with. His track record 623 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 2: has to Bill Parcell's disciple. But Peyton's going to be 624 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 2: under a microscope this year. He put himself under that microscope. Frankly, 625 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 2: he was in it prior to that, simply because you 626 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 2: know he's Sean Payton, and he went to the highest bidder. 627 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 2: And make no mistake, you know what Denver had to 628 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 2: get up to get to get Sean Payton and Russell 629 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 2: Wilson seven draft picks, including three first rounders and three 630 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 2: second rounders. They had to guarantee one hundred and sixty 631 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 2: one million to Wilson. And I understand Peyton's slated to 632 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 2: make somewhere around twenty million this year, so this is 633 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 2: not a chump change. And obviously the expectations in Denver 634 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 2: are going to be high, and save for that twenty 635 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 2: one yard touchdown pass, I would say the Broncos looked 636 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 2: a little flat last night. But as I have said, 637 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,479 Speaker 2: and I will repeat, you don't take much away from 638 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 2: the preseason. You take nothing away from the preseason, but 639 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 2: you still can't agnore the fact that some of the 640 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 2: same issues that plagued Denver presenting themselves again Friday night. 641 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 2: I guess you should have expected, maybe you didn't expect 642 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 2: a smooth transition, but there so far has not been 643 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 2: a smooth transition. At the same time, I would say 644 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 2: again I want to repeat that when you reiterate the 645 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 2: previous comments and the attitude that Peyton brought a couple 646 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 2: of weeks ago, that's going to bring extra scrutiny and 647 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 2: how the team is run and their overall performance even 648 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 2: in the preseason.

One 677 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 2: of the most interesting human beings you'll ever meet. He's 678 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 2: in Vegas. He was in here for the bet Bash 679 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,799 Speaker 2: this weekend. I never met him. I've been around him. 680 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 2: His story was chronicled in sixty Minutes back in twenty ten. 681 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 2: Good buddy, Bill Crackman Krackenberger. He'll be on with me 682 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 2: next Friday night. We're going to talk about the book 683 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 2: and talk about his dealings with Billy. He's got this 684 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:24,240 Speaker 2: amazing book coming out, and in his biography he spends 685 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 2: two chapters on Phil Mickelson and talks about the fact 686 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 2: that Michelson allegedly placed more than a billion dollars worth 687 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,799 Speaker 2: of sports bets in the last thirty years. And he's 688 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:39,760 Speaker 2: got details from twenty to ten to twenty fourteen. According 689 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 2: to the book, this is unreal. So he bet one 690 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 2: hundred and ten thousand to win one hundred thousand, that's 691 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 2: the Big ten, one hundred and fifteen times. He bet 692 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 2: two twenty to win two hundred, a total of eight 693 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty eight times. In the year twenty eleven, 694 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 2: I had three and fifty four bets. It's almost ten 695 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 2: bets every single day, and one particular day made forty 696 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,799 Speaker 2: three major league bets in a single day. According to 697 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 2: this memoir by Billy Walters, Phil Mickelson wagered a billion 698 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,799 Speaker 2: dollars on sports over the last three decades. Now, make 699 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,800 Speaker 2: no mistake, you know he's and I'll tell you what. 700 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,279 Speaker 2: I'll save that. The book goes on to say that 701 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 2: Michelson lost nearly one hundred million gambling average nine bets 702 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,879 Speaker 2: per day, made forty three bets in a day, tried 703 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 2: to bet the Ryder Cup he was playing in. Look, 704 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 2: Mickelson has the money. I am not second guessing him. 705 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 2: It's just it's just interesting because when you look at 706 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 2: a Phil Mickelson and this pristine, clean faced image in 707 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 2: you know, obviously be beneath the exterior, there's a guy 708 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 2: who likes he's a player. Right, So it will be 709 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 2: interesting as his story on unravels, and we'll we'll cover it. 710 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,360 Speaker 2: But if you want the tone and tenor listen to 711 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,239 Speaker 2: what Rory McElroy said, who's ever the liv antagonist? He 712 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,359 Speaker 2: couldn't resist taking a shot at Phil because and he 713 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,239 Speaker 2: was asked at a press conference how he felt about 714 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 2: the news. He said, quote, well, at least Michelson can 715 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 2: bet on the Rayder Cup this year because he won't 716 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:20,800 Speaker 2: be a part of it. Shots fired again. Phil Micholson 717 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 2: may have lost one hundred million dollars, but I think 718 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,359 Speaker 2: he's still probably got about nine hundred million left over, 719 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 2: So you're not going to get any judgment from me. 720 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 2: Tonight show brought to you by Discover.

The 963 00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:14,400 Speaker 2: way tire buying should be Johnny Football. You'll never forget 964 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:18,080 Speaker 2: that name. The truth of the matter is the Untold 965 00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:23,520 Speaker 2: Johnny Football odd Netflix, which debut Tuesday. I watched it 966 00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:29,279 Speaker 2: day one. Ultimately, it chronicles what Johnny Manziel's legacy is 967 00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,000 Speaker 2: ten years ago. Isn't that long ago? And when you 968 00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:35,239 Speaker 2: consider the changes that have happened in college football since then, 969 00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,400 Speaker 2: with name, image and likeness in the transfer portal, it 970 00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,200 Speaker 2: leaves you wondering what Manziel's career would look like if 971 00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,520 Speaker 2: you were playing today. And Manziel, I believe is actually 972 00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:46,560 Speaker 2: owed a debt from a lot of kids who aren't 973 00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,120 Speaker 2: too familiar with his story. They were eight years old 974 00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,799 Speaker 2: when Johnny was playing. They're eighteen now, but they're benefiting 975 00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:54,880 Speaker 2: from a wave that I think started with Johnny, and 976 00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:56,760 Speaker 2: I think Johnny was a big part of that momentum 977 00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,960 Speaker 2: because of the electricity, the celebrity, and it kind of 978 00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:04,480 Speaker 2: laid bare of the hypocrisy. It's a great documentary, lots 979 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:08,080 Speaker 2: of f bombs, lots of football. It's very much worth 980 00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:12,280 Speaker 2: the watch, but it's a cautionary tale. It's an expose. 981 00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:15,880 Speaker 2: I took real interest in Johnny Manziel because of what 982 00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:19,000 Speaker 2: he did, and as luck would have it, Johnny Manziel, 983 00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:24,040 Speaker 2: when drafted by Cleveland, played his first ever professional game. 984 00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,239 Speaker 2: Granted it was an exhibition game. It was a preseason 985 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:31,719 Speaker 2: game in Detroit versus Alliance. So I make my way 986 00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:34,080 Speaker 2: back to Michigan three times a year for my fix anyway, 987 00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,520 Speaker 2: so I said, I'm going. I got my credential. I went. 988 00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:41,160 Speaker 2: I saw Johnny Manziel in person his first preseason game 989 00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:44,600 Speaker 2: ever in Detroit. He was seven eleven seven four to 990 00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:46,879 Speaker 2: eleven that night through the air sixty five yards, rushed 991 00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:54,560 Speaker 2: for twenty seven yards. He showed exceptional athleticism, body control, 992 00:52:55,120 --> 00:53:00,520 Speaker 2: command of the position. Johnny Manziel could have played any NFL, 993 00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:05,240 Speaker 2: not a dot in my mind. The problem is Johnny Manzil, 994 00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:08,360 Speaker 2: in his entire life, has never been subject to structure. 995 00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,839 Speaker 2: He walked on water at Tybee High School, he owned 996 00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:15,640 Speaker 2: the campus. And when he got to Texas A and M, 997 00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,920 Speaker 2: they lost their first game to Florida because Kirk Cliff 998 00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:23,960 Speaker 2: Kingsbury had actually implemented some structure in the offense, and 999 00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,040 Speaker 2: Johnny Manziel's not a bob structure. He said it himself, 1000 00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,560 Speaker 2: and I'm not giving anything away. In the documentary he said, Hey, 1001 00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,560 Speaker 2: I played quarterbacks, real simple, I played backyard street football. 1002 00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:38,239 Speaker 2: Don't let him tackle you and just find the open man. 1003 00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:40,719 Speaker 2: Don't let him tackle you and find the open man. 1004 00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:44,960 Speaker 2: That doesn't work in the National Football League. You've got 1005 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:48,000 Speaker 2: to study of your playbook at synchronization and synchronized swimming 1006 00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:52,879 Speaker 2: times twenty. So what happens. It's the story's oldest time 1007 00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,280 Speaker 2: a young man with all the talent in the world 1008 00:53:56,760 --> 00:54:00,880 Speaker 2: takes him to a place where his character can't keep him. 1009 00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:05,720 Speaker 2: His behavior was enabled even after game one when Texas 1010 00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,160 Speaker 2: A and M lost to Florida and then they started 1011 00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:10,200 Speaker 2: to go nuts. I believe Kingsbury said, I wish I 1012 00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,719 Speaker 2: would just let him go Game one. You can't do 1013 00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,240 Speaker 2: that in the NFL. Johnny Manziel didn't like the NFL. 1014 00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,080 Speaker 2: You gotta be on timed and meetings. You got itineries, 1015 00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,720 Speaker 2: you got practice, you got work, you got to study 1016 00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,480 Speaker 2: the playbook. You got a log time on your laptop, 1017 00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:26,640 Speaker 2: which he didn't do any of that his tablet. It's 1018 00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:30,960 Speaker 2: all chronicled there. It's a quick rise and it's a 1019 00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:34,480 Speaker 2: quick fall, and it shows, frankly, the shelf life of 1020 00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:41,799 Speaker 2: an athlete is can be very short. And really this 1021 00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:45,680 Speaker 2: is almost like a one act play. And the reason 1022 00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:47,760 Speaker 2: I'm talking about this is I don't know anybody who's 1023 00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,200 Speaker 2: neutral on Johnny Manzil and that's maybe that's part of 1024 00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:54,480 Speaker 2: his bagnetism, it's part of his charm. We will talk 1025 00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:56,480 Speaker 2: to crack Man next Friday night. He had dinner with 1026 00:54:56,560 --> 00:55:00,520 Speaker 2: him once. The truth of the matter is is Johnny 1027 00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:02,400 Speaker 2: was ahead of his time. It's too bad he was 1028 00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,960 Speaker 2: born ten years later. He'd fit right in now. Johnny 1029 00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:09,000 Speaker 2: was a phenomenon. I mean he was. He was a 1030 00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:12,239 Speaker 2: pop culture celebrity. At nineteen years old. He went in 1031 00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:17,160 Speaker 2: He goes into Alabama and beats Nick Saban in twenty twelve, 1032 00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:22,399 Speaker 2: Johnny Football basically became a household name. They chronicle all 1033 00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:25,080 Speaker 2: the highlights and then they chronicle all the low lights. 1034 00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:27,680 Speaker 2: And it starts with his high school career and he 1035 00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,560 Speaker 2: says a lot of funny things and he comports himself 1036 00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:32,560 Speaker 2: well and he's an act kind of a natural in 1037 00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:35,640 Speaker 2: front of the camera. But if you ever saw the 1038 00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:41,120 Speaker 2: movie Friday Night Lights in the book by Bissinger back 1039 00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:44,719 Speaker 2: in the twenty years ago, it's phenomenal. This very much 1040 00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:49,720 Speaker 2: had a Friday Night Lights feel. He started out in Cerrville, Texas, 1041 00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:56,080 Speaker 2: and there's a montage and it shows Manziel and he 1042 00:55:56,200 --> 00:56:01,239 Speaker 2: kind of owns the town. He literally does. And he's 1043 00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:06,360 Speaker 2: not recruited by Texas and I think that might have 1044 00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:08,000 Speaker 2: pissed him off a little. So he goes to Texas 1045 00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:11,000 Speaker 2: A and M and it was very late in the 1046 00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:16,799 Speaker 2: process where he got his scholarship right. But then he 1047 00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:19,839 Speaker 2: you know, he red shirt his freshman year in Texas 1048 00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:21,960 Speaker 2: him they don't go into that much at all, but 1049 00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:25,520 Speaker 2: he starts as a sophomore and it was a twenty 1050 00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,600 Speaker 2: twelve season, and that's when the highlights started to really 1051 00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:32,680 Speaker 2: come to fruition. He was a red shirt freshman. He 1052 00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,120 Speaker 2: took the entire country, certainly the SEC with the entire 1053 00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:38,239 Speaker 2: country by storm, wins a Heisman Trophy that year. Throws 1054 00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:41,520 Speaker 2: for thirty eight hundred yards, rushes for fourteen hundred yards, 1055 00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:46,640 Speaker 2: accounts for forty seven total touchdowns. And again Cliff Kingsbury 1056 00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:51,239 Speaker 2: was his offensive coordinator, and he's good in the documentary too, 1057 00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:55,080 Speaker 2: and he talks about the backstory when Johnny Manziel put 1058 00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:58,600 Speaker 2: on the Scooby Doo costume one night, and you know 1059 00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,560 Speaker 2: he liked to have his fun. But it reaches a 1060 00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:04,480 Speaker 2: pinnacle on November tenth when they beat Alabama twenty nine 1061 00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:08,279 Speaker 2: to twenty four at Bama. Bama was number one. I 1062 00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:10,399 Speaker 2: think he shocked Nick Saban and that's when the birth 1063 00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:14,439 Speaker 2: of the Johnny football legend rose to its highest height. 1064 00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:18,040 Speaker 2: And after that everything was a blur. I'm not going 1065 00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:19,400 Speaker 2: to say he was a one hit wonder. But then 1066 00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:23,560 Speaker 2: he won the Heisman Trophy and we haven't seen anything 1067 00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:28,000 Speaker 2: like Johnny Manzil since we may never again, frankly. But 1068 00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:30,800 Speaker 2: then you know the rest of the story. As Paul 1069 00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:35,560 Speaker 2: Harvey used to say, as Manziel's fame grew, well, his 1070 00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:39,920 Speaker 2: exploits off the field, including a battle with the NCAA, 1071 00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,040 Speaker 2: and he had a bunch of viral moments, a laundry 1072 00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:47,760 Speaker 2: list of peccadillos. And finally, his agent, who was very 1073 00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:54,920 Speaker 2: compelling in the documentary, manages to work Manziel into the 1074 00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,200 Speaker 2: conversation in Cleveland, drafts him toward the end of the 1075 00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:02,120 Speaker 2: first round, even after doing the unthinking right before, right 1076 00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:05,240 Speaker 2: before his pro day, right before the combine. And I won't, 1077 00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:08,600 Speaker 2: I won't, I won't. That'd be a spoiler alert if 1078 00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:10,360 Speaker 2: I gave you that that you got to watch it. 1079 00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:14,560 Speaker 2: And the documentary really reaches some dark places as Manseil 1080 00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:21,760 Speaker 2: descends and spirals downward. Clearly his substance abuse not only 1081 00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:29,000 Speaker 2: affected his ability to play football, but it really affected 1082 00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:32,640 Speaker 2: his relationship with his father and his agent, Eric Burkhardt, 1083 00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:36,640 Speaker 2: and and through it all. Where you give the reason 1084 00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:40,480 Speaker 2: this documentary pops so well is Johnny Manziel was very candid. 1085 00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:43,920 Speaker 2: He didn't hide a run for any from anything. He 1086 00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:49,080 Speaker 2: he admitted everything he was. I wouldn't say he was contrite, 1087 00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:55,440 Speaker 2: but he was certainly authentic. And it's my understanding. And 1088 00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:57,760 Speaker 2: by the way, you know, this is a very invasive, 1089 00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:01,360 Speaker 2: It was a very invasive documentary. They went deep into 1090 00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:04,360 Speaker 2: the weeds, They went deep into Johnny Manziel's past. They 1091 00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:06,640 Speaker 2: talked to his friends, his best friend from high school 1092 00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:09,680 Speaker 2: who's a key player in this. And it won't be 1093 00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:14,200 Speaker 2: a spoiler alert there, but it's my understanding Johnny Manziel 1094 00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:17,760 Speaker 2: in order to create this documentary with I think it's 1095 00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:21,000 Speaker 2: about seventy five minutes, I'm guessing he had to sit 1096 00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:26,360 Speaker 2: an interview chair for twenty hours. And he's thirty years 1097 00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:30,880 Speaker 2: old now, but he still kind of maintains that youth 1098 00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:35,600 Speaker 2: in terms of his swagger. And he went into extremely 1099 00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:38,040 Speaker 2: dark place by now you've seen it in all the headlines, 1100 00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:44,400 Speaker 2: even attempted suicide. Very compelling, very heart wrenching. He was 1101 00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:47,960 Speaker 2: spiraling downward. He decided he was going to have one 1102 00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:51,840 Speaker 2: last five million dollar bender, by his own admission, and 1103 00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:56,680 Speaker 2: he spent months in just debauchery, and he had bought 1104 00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:59,680 Speaker 2: a gun for the purpose of using it. And the 1105 00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:01,400 Speaker 2: day he went to use it, he said, for reasons 1106 01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:04,480 Speaker 2: he can't explain, it just clicked and didn't go off. 1107 01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:06,720 Speaker 2: But it was something to planned for a long time. 1108 01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:10,080 Speaker 2: Now it's a little vegans to what Johnny's doing now. 1109 01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:12,960 Speaker 2: I don't know what he's doing. I think he's just 1110 01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:15,520 Speaker 2: hanging out. I think he's in a better place mentally 1111 01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:20,360 Speaker 2: than he was, But I don't know what he's you know, 1112 01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:23,120 Speaker 2: what his obligations are when he gets up day to 1113 01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:27,120 Speaker 2: day or what he does. But it's the kind of documentary. 1114 01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:30,880 Speaker 2: It's the kind of compelling expos a journalistic documentary that 1115 01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:35,600 Speaker 2: tells a true story with a message. And again, I 1116 01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:39,440 Speaker 2: think there are a lot of folks here. The shorts 1117 01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:43,760 Speaker 2: aren't clean because even though he brought great success to Texas, 1118 01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:46,040 Speaker 2: A and M, at what cost and what costs this 1119 01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:48,880 Speaker 2: young man? He was not enabled. He was not prepared 1120 01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:50,720 Speaker 2: to go into the NFL. He didn't want structure. He 1121 01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:53,320 Speaker 2: was a freelancer all the way. I can always say 1122 01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:58,280 Speaker 2: I highly recommend it. I liked Johnny Manziel. I'll always 1123 01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:02,040 Speaker 2: remember his first preseason game. And I'll tell you this, 1124 01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:06,040 Speaker 2: I don't know. I feel like the story's not done. 1125 01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:08,200 Speaker 2: I want to know what the rest of his life brings, 1126 01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:10,360 Speaker 2: because he's got his whole life ahead of you, even 1127 01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:13,720 Speaker 2: though it seems like he's lived a long life already. 1128 01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:17,280 Speaker 2: So we'll see what is what for the future coming up. 1129 01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:20,840 Speaker 2: You heard Shaye talk about it in our trivia game. 1130 01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:23,800 Speaker 2: What a debut for Michael Lorenz And let's tell you 1131 01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:27,000 Speaker 2: this story you don't know. But first let's go back 1132 01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:28,840 Speaker 2: to our guy, Kevin Figures with the latest. 1133 01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:30,920 Speaker 6: All right, Bernie got a couple of quarterfinals at the 1134 01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,640 Speaker 6: Women's World Cup on tap this morning on Fox. Right now, 1135 01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:37,200 Speaker 6: they are in the twenty ninth minute. Australia and France 1136 01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:39,920 Speaker 6: are currently scoreless. This game will be followed by England 1137 01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:42,280 Speaker 6: in Columbia. That game will kick off around six thirty 1138 01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:43,439 Speaker 6: am Eastern time. 1139 01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:44,280 Speaker 2: Friday night. 1140 01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:47,360 Speaker 6: Major League Baseball Dodgers defeating Colorado six to one. That's 1141 01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:50,960 Speaker 6: their sixth straight victory. John Gray pitched seven scoreless innings 1142 01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:53,919 Speaker 6: for the Rangers. They defeated San Francisco two to one. 1143 01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:56,640 Speaker 6: Luis Castill struck out eight for the Red Hot Mariner 1144 01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:59,240 Speaker 6: as they beat Baltimore nine to two. Eight straight wins 1145 01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:02,480 Speaker 6: there for Seattle, Padre snapping a four game skid with 1146 01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:05,720 Speaker 6: a ten to five victory in Arizona. Diamondbacks have lost 1147 01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:08,160 Speaker 6: nine games in a row. Chris Sale made his first 1148 01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:11,200 Speaker 6: start since June early June, that is, struck out seven 1149 01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:14,080 Speaker 6: for Boston. They beat Detroit five to two, Austin Riley 1150 01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:17,280 Speaker 6: three hits, including a home run for Atlanta, they drubbed 1151 01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:19,840 Speaker 6: the Mets seven nothing. And golf at the PGA event 1152 01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:22,480 Speaker 6: at Saint Jude, Lucas Glover at one stroke lead over 1153 01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:25,320 Speaker 6: George Speed, while Roy McElroy and Scottie Scheffler are three 1154 01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:28,200 Speaker 6: strokes back.

Right 1156 01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:33,040 Speaker 6: back to Bernie Fresh. 1157 01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:36,200 Speaker 2: Kevin, did you get a chance to see the Manzil 1158 01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:37,600 Speaker 2: documentary on Netflix? 1159 01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:40,560 Speaker 6: I have not, unfortunately, but I certainly want to. It 1160 01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:42,080 Speaker 6: seems very very interesting. 1161 01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:45,320 Speaker 2: Okay, good you do intend to see it? Then absolute 1162 01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:48,320 Speaker 2: when you get a chance. Yes, And I know what 1163 01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:51,440 Speaker 2: were your thoughts on Manziel when that whole thing was happening. 1164 01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:54,920 Speaker 6: Well, it was really unfortunate, you know, someone who had everything. Yeah, 1165 01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:57,680 Speaker 6: I remember the the upset victory when Texas A and 1166 01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:00,320 Speaker 6: M rolled in and just destroyed Alabama and came that 1167 01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:02,960 Speaker 6: second year, didn't play as well but still had a 1168 01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:05,080 Speaker 6: great season, had all the talent in the world, but 1169 01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:07,200 Speaker 6: just lack the work ethic. And the sad thing is 1170 01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:09,240 Speaker 6: that someone who can be as productive of his player 1171 01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,480 Speaker 6: as he was in the college level. If you just 1172 01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:13,640 Speaker 6: put a modicum of work in at the NFL level, 1173 01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:15,920 Speaker 6: could have had himself a good career. But I think 1174 01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:17,800 Speaker 6: it's just kind of a it's just kind of a 1175 01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:20,880 Speaker 6: story that it goes back to the scouting and research 1176 01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:22,720 Speaker 6: and knowing who you're drafting at that point in Tommy 1177 01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:25,640 Speaker 6: for Cleveland, and being able to check into someone's background 1178 01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:27,680 Speaker 6: and knowing exactly who you're getting and not falling in 1179 01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:30,280 Speaker 6: love with the narrative, actually getting to know the player 1180 01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:32,360 Speaker 6: before you draft him. So I do think it's just 1181 01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:33,720 Speaker 6: one of those cautionary tales. 1182 01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:38,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, he just wasn't built for structure. Everything was improvisational. 1183 01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:42,280 Speaker 2: He very candidly admits it early on. Give me the ball, 1184 01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:45,240 Speaker 2: don't let him tackle me, find the open man. That's 1185 01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:47,560 Speaker 2: why he'd run around like a whirling dervision and find 1186 01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:50,200 Speaker 2: the open receipt. He did some crazy things. So that 1187 01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:52,040 Speaker 2: doesn't play in the NFL. You got to play within 1188 01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:55,520 Speaker 2: the framework of an offense. All right, thanks Kevin, yep, 1189 01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:58,880 Speaker 2: all right, you talk about a debut. Michael Lorenzen. His 1190 01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:01,360 Speaker 2: first song start as a few bill was one no 1191 01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:05,240 Speaker 2: one's gonna ever forget. He had just been acquired from 1192 01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:08,840 Speaker 2: the Tigers eight days earlier. On August first, he makes 1193 01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:13,600 Speaker 2: his home debut in Philadelphia against the Nationals. Pitches the 1194 01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:17,760 Speaker 2: fourteenth no hitter in franchise history, twenty seven outs, and 1195 01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:20,880 Speaker 2: it wasn't really that easy, and I'm glad they kept 1196 01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:23,840 Speaker 2: him in. David Roberts probably would have pulled him, or 1197 01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:25,800 Speaker 2: maybe the management would have made him pull him, or 1198 01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:28,640 Speaker 2: the genius in the analytics, guy with the computer who 1199 01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:31,560 Speaker 2: never wore a jock, would have pulled him. But Lorenzen 1200 01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:34,520 Speaker 2: struck out five, walk four and he threw a career 1201 01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:39,560 Speaker 2: high one hundred and twenty four pitches, so Lorenzo earned it. Now, 1202 01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:42,960 Speaker 2: the pitch count is probably the most notable thing because 1203 01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:46,400 Speaker 2: it's the highest pitch count of any pitcher and any 1204 01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:50,720 Speaker 2: start this entire Major League season, going back to opening Day. 1205 01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:54,160 Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, since the start of the 1206 01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:58,120 Speaker 2: twenty twenty season, there are only eleven players in the 1207 01:04:58,200 --> 01:04:59,959 Speaker 2: last four years that have thrown at least one hundred 1208 01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:03,760 Speaker 2: twenty pitches in the game. Simple pitchers normally don't go 1209 01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:07,640 Speaker 2: deep into games anymore, but the Phillies showed faith in 1210 01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,760 Speaker 2: Lorenzen to get it done, and by the way very quietly. 1211 01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:15,520 Speaker 2: I think Ethan's Phillies might make some real noise in 1212 01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:17,680 Speaker 2: the playoffs this year. Just keep you know, just hold 1213 01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:22,320 Speaker 2: that thought for later. Now, here's another reason why the 1214 01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:29,000 Speaker 2: pitchcot was especially especially notable for Michael Lorenzen because his 1215 01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:32,920 Speaker 2: previous career high was one hundred and seven, and that 1216 01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:35,040 Speaker 2: was during a five inning outing in his rookieyear with 1217 01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:40,880 Speaker 2: the Reds eight years ago. Lorenzen has had a dubious 1218 01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:45,000 Speaker 2: career in the league, in the major leagues. Right that season, 1219 01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:48,120 Speaker 2: he posted an ERA of almost six. He had twenty 1220 01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:50,080 Speaker 2: one starts, and then he ended up getting moved to 1221 01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:55,040 Speaker 2: the bullpen. Lorenzen has basically been a reliever his final 1222 01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:58,840 Speaker 2: six seasons since Cincinnati before the Angels got him last 1223 01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:01,800 Speaker 2: year gave him a chance to start. He was average 1224 01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:05,919 Speaker 2: last year, started eighteen games, had an ERA of well 1225 01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:11,120 Speaker 2: over four, but took a big step this year towards 1226 01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:14,040 Speaker 2: the season, you know, in terms of his improvement. He's 1227 01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:16,640 Speaker 2: actually named the All Star team for the first time. 1228 01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:21,720 Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, another footnote, Michael lorenzam is 1229 01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:25,640 Speaker 2: the only All Star to get trained this year. Now 1230 01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:28,040 Speaker 2: he's got a three point two ERA, he's got a 1231 01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:32,200 Speaker 2: great whip in twenty starts, and guess what, at the 1232 01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:36,200 Speaker 2: end of the year, Michael Lorenzen's a free agent. He's 1233 01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:37,840 Speaker 2: a free agent. And this has been kind of a 1234 01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:41,440 Speaker 2: life changing season for Lorenzen because now he's proven he's 1235 01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:46,000 Speaker 2: he's capable of being a reliable big league starter and 1236 01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:48,760 Speaker 2: he should command maybe the biggest contract of his career. So, 1237 01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:52,720 Speaker 2: regardless of what happens after the season, the other night 1238 01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:55,440 Speaker 2: will likely be the all time high point of Lorenzen's 1239 01:06:55,440 --> 01:07:00,360 Speaker 2: career because if you've watched Nolan Ryan's no hitters, which 1240 01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:04,640 Speaker 2: Michael Lorenzen actually went back on tape and watched everyone 1241 01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:07,320 Speaker 2: on Olan Ryan's no hitters, he said he always wanted 1242 01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:09,360 Speaker 2: to throw a no hitter. In a matter of fact, 1243 01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:12,880 Speaker 2: in the postgame interview on the Phillies broadcast, his mom 1244 01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:15,880 Speaker 2: was there, his wife was there, and they hung on 1245 01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:20,680 Speaker 2: every pitch. And then here's a trivia question. Dominic Smith 1246 01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:23,439 Speaker 2: made the last out. He popped out the center field, 1247 01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:25,920 Speaker 2: but again wasn't easy. He only struck on five walk 1248 01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:28,360 Speaker 2: four through one hundred and twenty four career pitches. And 1249 01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:34,560 Speaker 2: right now, Michael Lorenzen might be what I consider the 1250 01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:36,840 Speaker 2: story of the year in Major League Baseball. We shall 1251 01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:40,120 Speaker 2: see another story that might be a story of the year, 1252 01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:44,000 Speaker 2: a historic defeat for the women's soccer team. We have 1253 01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:47,200 Speaker 2: to revisit that. I'd be remiss if I didn't. I'm 1254 01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:48,760 Speaker 2: Bernie Fraddle.

Discover dot Com slash match. All right, it's 1266 01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:27,880 Speaker 2: all about the shouting. The US women's team run of 1267 01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:30,920 Speaker 2: World Cup dominance is over, at least for now. No 1268 01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:34,519 Speaker 2: team has ever three repeated which I said. Brazil men 1269 01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:40,080 Speaker 2: fifty six sixteen sixty eight three out of four. Maybe 1270 01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:44,400 Speaker 2: they can return in twenty twenty seven and we claim 1271 01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:48,280 Speaker 2: their crown. But after finishing no lower than third in 1272 01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:50,920 Speaker 2: each of the first eight tournaments in the history of 1273 01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:52,599 Speaker 2: Women's World Cup, because they only been doing it since 1274 01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:56,080 Speaker 2: ninety one, they're bouncing around to sixteen in a penalty 1275 01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:59,920 Speaker 2: shootout against Sweden. I was on the air for the 1276 01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:04,439 Speaker 2: first half. I stayed up, I watched it, and then 1277 01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:07,599 Speaker 2: as Mike Carmen and Dan Byer signed on, they did 1278 01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:11,439 Speaker 2: a great job of giving some context. This was shocky 1279 01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:14,760 Speaker 2: do a lot of people, and not shocking that they 1280 01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:17,719 Speaker 2: could lose this year. I kind of half expected it, 1281 01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:21,320 Speaker 2: but it was shocking in the context of history because 1282 01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:30,320 Speaker 2: they played relatively poorly during the entire stage, and they 1283 01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:34,160 Speaker 2: were kind of borderline And actually they played fairly well 1284 01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:38,040 Speaker 2: against Sweden. But this team is extremely offensively challenged. There's 1285 01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:41,080 Speaker 2: just no question about it, right, And I think ironically 1286 01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:42,840 Speaker 2: the US played their best game in the World Cup 1287 01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:47,080 Speaker 2: against Sweden, because in their group stage they were fairly lackluster. Right, 1288 01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:50,920 Speaker 2: But Sweden's an the leite opponent, and you can make 1289 01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:53,720 Speaker 2: a case that the US outplayed them the entire one 1290 01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:56,720 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty minutes As a matter of fact, I 1291 01:09:56,760 --> 01:10:01,120 Speaker 2: would say other than their goalie, it was a cure 1292 01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:03,439 Speaker 2: of musevic As. That's how Sweden's goalie is. She had 1293 01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:05,960 Speaker 2: the game of her life. She made eleven saves. The 1294 01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:08,400 Speaker 2: game was scoreless even after extra time. When here comes 1295 01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:10,879 Speaker 2: the shootout, and that's the part that was really brutal. 1296 01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:16,479 Speaker 2: Megan Rapino had been reliable in the past on penalty shots. 1297 01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:21,559 Speaker 2: Center attempt over the bar, as my buddy Jay Shipp said, 1298 01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:23,600 Speaker 2: it'd landed in the concession stand. I'm pretty sure it 1299 01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:28,240 Speaker 2: landed in someone's beer. And then Sweden's deciding goal. What 1300 01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:30,759 Speaker 2: do they say football is a game of inches as well, 1301 01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:33,680 Speaker 2: this is a game of centimeters because they had to 1302 01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:35,360 Speaker 2: measure it. I think it was a millimeter that was 1303 01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:39,479 Speaker 2: completely imperceptible by the naked eye. Sweden walks off with 1304 01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:43,599 Speaker 2: a victory. Tears for the United States. What went wrong? 1305 01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:46,680 Speaker 2: It boils down to the team's poor showing in the 1306 01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:51,479 Speaker 2: group stage. You beat Vietnam, whooped the dam Doo three. 1307 01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:53,800 Speaker 2: Nothing you could tell. Then they looked a little more 1308 01:10:53,800 --> 01:10:58,040 Speaker 2: abund but managed only to draw against Netherlands and Portugal. 1309 01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:00,519 Speaker 2: So you finished second in the group behind the Dutch 1310 01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:04,320 Speaker 2: so that's the problem that second place finish set up 1311 01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:08,760 Speaker 2: a challenging first knockout stage game against Sweden, rather than 1312 01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:12,320 Speaker 2: say South Africa, a team that could have beaten Now. 1313 01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:14,600 Speaker 2: I'm not going to imply there are any games in 1314 01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:17,920 Speaker 2: the World Cup that are easy or that they are automatic, 1315 01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:21,000 Speaker 2: but winning the group would have made the path to 1316 01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:26,599 Speaker 2: the finals much smoother for the Americans. So now people 1317 01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:29,599 Speaker 2: are left to ask why why did the US struggle 1318 01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:32,120 Speaker 2: in the group stage. That's the issue the team needs 1319 01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:36,720 Speaker 2: to solve moving forward. Their coach Vlado Vlatko and Anofsky. 1320 01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:41,200 Speaker 2: He's drawing a lot of criticism. I don't know if 1321 01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:43,759 Speaker 2: he'll keep his job. I don't call for people's jobs, 1322 01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:46,280 Speaker 2: but if I were him, I wouldn't get too comfortable. 1323 01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:50,200 Speaker 2: He's being criticized for his conservative approach during the early 1324 01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:53,519 Speaker 2: games of the tournament, but he actually took a chance 1325 01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:57,519 Speaker 2: against Sweden and it paid off. Coach made a very 1326 01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:01,400 Speaker 2: unexpected move, because this is a guy that's typically very 1327 01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:05,240 Speaker 2: conservative Vandanovski. He started a young lady by the name 1328 01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:09,120 Speaker 2: of Emily's Sonnet, inserted her unto the midfield, and he 1329 01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:14,200 Speaker 2: created a double pivot with Andy Sullivan. What did that do. 1330 01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:18,799 Speaker 2: That shift allowed Lindsay Horan to charge into the attack. 1331 01:12:19,560 --> 01:12:23,679 Speaker 2: Lindsay Horan, of course, you remember, scored that brilliant goal 1332 01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:30,080 Speaker 2: to tie Netherlands off a phenomenal corner kick from Rose Leavell, 1333 01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:33,400 Speaker 2: who couldn't play against Sweden because she had two yellow cards. 1334 01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:34,840 Speaker 2: And I knew that was going to be a problem 1335 01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:40,280 Speaker 2: right then and there, because they needed Lavelle's speed, her 1336 01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:44,000 Speaker 2: tenacity and her experience. Well, Andonovsky knew that going in 1337 01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:47,839 Speaker 2: he had to change his lineup, so he starts Emily's 1338 01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:50,000 Speaker 2: Sonnet in the midfield, creates the double pivot with Andy 1339 01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:54,760 Speaker 2: Sullivan that allows Lindsay Horan to be an attacker, and 1340 01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:58,360 Speaker 2: then that also enabled their outside backs Crystal Dunn and 1341 01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:02,280 Speaker 2: Emily Fox to spring forward on the flanks. All of 1342 01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:04,760 Speaker 2: a sudden, you saw a pretty decent offense for himed. 1343 01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:08,240 Speaker 2: They couldn't finish, they couldn't put it the net, but 1344 01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:10,759 Speaker 2: connecting in the midfield and building up through the lines, 1345 01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:16,200 Speaker 2: their attack was humming. Was showing life, more life than 1346 01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:20,960 Speaker 2: it had shown in the prior three games. And ironically 1347 01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:24,840 Speaker 2: it was against an elite team Sweden, who's maybe on 1348 01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:26,920 Speaker 2: the short list to win this whole thing. They're still alive. 1349 01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:33,080 Speaker 2: So all of a sudden, the squad they're creating all 1350 01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:35,799 Speaker 2: kinds of dangerous chances which they hadn't been doing earlier 1351 01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:38,240 Speaker 2: in the tournament. You got a credit coach Andanofski for that. 1352 01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:42,680 Speaker 2: But there's one thing that eluded the United States, and 1353 01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:46,479 Speaker 2: that's the thing that plagued the team all tournament finishing. 1354 01:13:48,439 --> 01:13:52,599 Speaker 2: So you will see more critics rag on the coach 1355 01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:59,680 Speaker 2: because for that reason. Even though Coachandanofsky made you know this, 1356 01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:04,960 Speaker 2: which was unexpected but very clever and very tactical, it's 1357 01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:07,400 Speaker 2: now being sort of characterized, well, he did it, but 1358 01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:11,639 Speaker 2: it was too little, too late. Still an early extra 1359 01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:13,240 Speaker 2: from the World Cup where I think a lot of 1360 01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:15,360 Speaker 2: folks believe this team just said a god given right 1361 01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:18,760 Speaker 2: to get to the finals. You combine that with a 1362 01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:22,360 Speaker 2: disappointing third place finish at the Olympics two years ago. 1363 01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:27,120 Speaker 2: That's where it starts to stack up, and it could 1364 01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:32,400 Speaker 2: mean that Andonowsky's time in charge could be over. Now 1365 01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:36,599 Speaker 2: I get it. Part of the narrative is that there's 1366 01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:43,000 Speaker 2: been lots of reports that the World Cup has an 1367 01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:47,160 Speaker 2: increased quality of competition, that companies around company excuse me, 1368 01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:52,400 Speaker 2: countries around the world are now making this incredible investment. 1369 01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:56,720 Speaker 2: Their development programs are far more superior than they have. 1370 01:14:57,439 --> 01:15:00,759 Speaker 2: They're attracting better athletes, they're getting better resources, better training, 1371 01:15:01,840 --> 01:15:04,840 Speaker 2: and maybe they've caught up. I don't really know. Well, 1372 01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:08,280 Speaker 2: I think we'll see. I can tell you that I 1373 01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:10,960 Speaker 2: didn't expect. I did not expect the US team to 1374 01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:12,360 Speaker 2: win it, but I didn't know that they'd go out 1375 01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:15,040 Speaker 2: this soon before the tournament. As the tournament went on, 1376 01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:22,400 Speaker 2: you could clearly see that they were having issues. So 1377 01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:24,479 Speaker 2: where do they go from here? And I don't mean 1378 01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:27,320 Speaker 2: home dinner, maybe a show, because you follow up with 1379 01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:30,160 Speaker 2: third place finished at the Olympics and the early extra 1380 01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:32,320 Speaker 2: from the World Cup and the fact that their history 1381 01:15:32,320 --> 01:15:37,720 Speaker 2: against Sweden hasn't necessarily been great. So again, other countries 1382 01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:42,400 Speaker 2: have improved their women's programs. But the reality is the 1383 01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:46,879 Speaker 2: Americans can reclaim can reclaim their status as the dominant 1384 01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:49,320 Speaker 2: team in the world. But they still got to do it. 1385 01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:53,000 Speaker 2: It's not going to be easy. Megan Apino retired, but frankly, 1386 01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:54,400 Speaker 2: I'm not sure why she was on the team this 1387 01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:58,000 Speaker 2: last year. I don't think and Thenovski needed to keep 1388 01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:03,720 Speaker 2: her and she was worthless notwithstanding her earlier performances in 1389 01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:07,439 Speaker 2: previous World Cups, which very much contributed. Pretty clear to 1390 01:16:07,479 --> 01:16:09,920 Speaker 2: me that Alex Morgan's lost to the yard off her fastball. 1391 01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:11,920 Speaker 2: She didn't score a single goal in the entire tournament, 1392 01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:17,760 Speaker 2: but again her legacy secure. So does she come back 1393 01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:19,479 Speaker 2: at age thirty eight? Is she a fixed are on 1394 01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:21,960 Speaker 2: the team? I don't know. I don't know. I think 1395 01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:25,240 Speaker 2: she wants to. But if the Americans are going to 1396 01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:28,280 Speaker 2: reclaim their status as a dominant team, you've got to 1397 01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:33,160 Speaker 2: have a succession plan now, because they have been so dominant. 1398 01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:36,040 Speaker 2: And this is true with national teams in many sports, 1399 01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:39,919 Speaker 2: in many countries, the inevitably go through up and down cycles. 1400 01:16:40,920 --> 01:16:43,720 Speaker 2: And you had to know that this was a transitional 1401 01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:47,599 Speaker 2: year for the US women's national team when you consider 1402 01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:52,639 Speaker 2: that several players from the last World Cup not only 1403 01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:56,720 Speaker 2: aged out of their prime, there were also multiple injuries 1404 01:16:57,280 --> 01:17:01,599 Speaker 2: at key positions. But we were told that this new 1405 01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:05,440 Speaker 2: generation of stars had arrived, and you started to recognize 1406 01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:11,240 Speaker 2: their names, Sophie Smith, Trinity Rodman, Alyssa Thompson. They're going 1407 01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:13,960 Speaker 2: to be the ones called on to carry the team 1408 01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:19,240 Speaker 2: into the future. They played hard, but the inexperience showed 1409 01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:23,800 Speaker 2: clearly the pressure on the world stage might have been 1410 01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:28,360 Speaker 2: a little too much for them, so they were crushed 1411 01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:33,639 Speaker 2: this time. Will they be motivated for revenge next time? 1412 01:17:34,120 --> 01:17:39,360 Speaker 2: I still say the Mia Ham, Brandy Chastain, Julie Foudy, 1413 01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:44,519 Speaker 2: that team was what I consider to be the gold standard. 1414 01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:48,400 Speaker 2: To this day, they're still having impact on the game. 1415 01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:52,360 Speaker 2: You saw Carly Lloyd's commentary. I thought it was succinct. 1416 01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:54,879 Speaker 2: I thought it was honest. I thought it was direct. 1417 01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:59,960 Speaker 2: Wasn't well received. That's a shame because she spoke truth 1418 01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:04,240 Speaker 2: and rather than give speeches, all the US team had 1419 01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:08,640 Speaker 2: to do was prove it on the field, which unfortunately 1420 01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:12,800 Speaker 2: they weren't able to do. And when they were at 1421 01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:16,400 Speaker 2: the history books, you can say the dominance is over 1422 01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:19,080 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three. We'll resume in twenty twenty seven. 1423 01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:22,519 Speaker 2: I guess we'll find out and it'll get here sooner 1424 01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:25,519 Speaker 2: than you think. The future always arrives at a schedule. 1425 01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:29,240 Speaker 2: Coming up, Hard Knocks episode one is in the books. 1426 01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:32,400 Speaker 2: We got motivational stories and Aaron Rodgers love fest and 1427 01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:35,640 Speaker 2: much much more.

Episode 1453 01:20:01,680 --> 01:20:05,240 Speaker 2: one is in the books, and it started with the 1454 01:20:05,479 --> 01:20:10,960 Speaker 2: Robert Salad motivational story about how the crow lands on 1455 01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:15,120 Speaker 2: the on the back of the eagle and pecks and 1456 01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:18,080 Speaker 2: pecks away, and then the eagle flies so high that 1457 01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:23,479 Speaker 2: the crow cane breathe and finally he just falls away, 1458 01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:27,479 Speaker 2: and you get the picture, right, And Sala's got like 1459 01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:31,840 Speaker 2: kind of a laid back approach. And I guess the 1460 01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:37,320 Speaker 2: Jets are going to organically. They're gonna organically let this 1461 01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:40,479 Speaker 2: season unfold. They're they're they're not giving a lot of speeches, 1462 01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:42,840 Speaker 2: right like, I mean a lot of teams every other 1463 01:20:42,920 --> 01:20:45,599 Speaker 2: day justin Field's got to give a speech, and Jordan 1464 01:20:45,680 --> 01:20:47,599 Speaker 2: loves they got to give a speech. And how good 1465 01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:51,400 Speaker 2: We're gonna just play the games, Okay, I remember. So 1466 01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:53,439 Speaker 2: it made me want to tell a story because I 1467 01:20:53,479 --> 01:20:56,559 Speaker 2: heard a story once about how you know, the forceful 1468 01:20:56,600 --> 01:20:59,920 Speaker 2: approach doesn't work right? Story about the wind in the sun. 1469 01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:02,840 Speaker 2: They were looking down on this man who had an 1470 01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:05,479 Speaker 2: overcoat sitting on a bench, and the wind and the 1471 01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:09,040 Speaker 2: sun had an argument. They decided to have a bet 1472 01:21:09,120 --> 01:21:11,320 Speaker 2: who they could, who could get the old man to 1473 01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:14,439 Speaker 2: take his coat off. So the wind blue and blue 1474 01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:16,320 Speaker 2: and blue as hard as it could and blew as 1475 01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:18,759 Speaker 2: harder and blue harder, And every time it blew harder, 1476 01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:22,120 Speaker 2: the the old man just he pulled the coat tighter. 1477 01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:27,120 Speaker 2: But the sun just got progressively slowly warmer and warmer 1478 01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:30,760 Speaker 2: and warmer, very deliberately, very slowly warmer and warmer, and 1479 01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:33,960 Speaker 2: finally was so warm the man just took the coat off. 1480 01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:37,120 Speaker 2: And I get the feeling that the Jets are trying 1481 01:21:37,160 --> 01:21:40,439 Speaker 2: to we got this. Let's be let's be cool here, 1482 01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:43,160 Speaker 2: let's just let it happen. And I'm listen, I'm rooting 1483 01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:44,960 Speaker 2: for the Jets to do well. I have no skin 1484 01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:47,719 Speaker 2: in the game. But look, it's been fifty five years 1485 01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:50,200 Speaker 2: since the Jets won Super Bowl three, which is one 1486 01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:54,240 Speaker 2: of the legendary games of all time. It solidified, it 1487 01:21:54,360 --> 01:21:58,040 Speaker 2: solidified the merger between the AFL and the NFL, and 1488 01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:01,240 Speaker 2: they've never been close to winning the second title. And 1489 01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:03,439 Speaker 2: they did it at seventeen point underdogs and did it 1490 01:22:03,439 --> 01:22:05,479 Speaker 2: with Joe Namath, which is, by the way, how they started. 1491 01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:08,040 Speaker 2: So all eyes are on the stars of the team, 1492 01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:13,400 Speaker 2: right Aaron Rodgers Hard Knocks premiered. I was looking forward 1493 01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:15,679 Speaker 2: to it. I watched it. There was actually a little 1494 01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:17,920 Speaker 2: bit of excitement in the air. All of a sudden, 1495 01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:21,360 Speaker 2: you see Rogers walking out of the practice field and 1496 01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:23,320 Speaker 2: if you don't believe they're not, they're milking this for 1497 01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:27,320 Speaker 2: all it's worth. The HBO people. It took a full 1498 01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:31,000 Speaker 2: They followed him for one full minute of Aaron Rodgers 1499 01:22:31,040 --> 01:22:34,360 Speaker 2: just walking on the field, letting all the fans soak 1500 01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:37,840 Speaker 2: it in. It's reality. You know, here we are. You 1501 01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:41,719 Speaker 2: got this young, talented group on both sides of the ball, 1502 01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:45,040 Speaker 2: and now you've got the missing link of future Hall 1503 01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:49,200 Speaker 2: of Famer at the heme it was. It was cinematic, 1504 01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:52,160 Speaker 2: a full minute him just walking on the field. And 1505 01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:55,320 Speaker 2: then when they asked what Rogers brings to the Jets. 1506 01:22:55,360 --> 01:22:59,719 Speaker 2: There was one particular scene Tuesday Nights episode Robert sala 1507 01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:03,519 Speaker 2: and I believe he was very sincere when he said this. 1508 01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:06,240 Speaker 2: I don't think this was rehearsed. I don't think this 1509 01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:12,200 Speaker 2: was contrived. He just basically simply said, I think he's 1510 01:23:12,240 --> 01:23:14,759 Speaker 2: obviously the best quarterback I've ever had on a team. 1511 01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:17,559 Speaker 2: That's fair. Rogers is going to the Hall of Fame. 1512 01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:21,080 Speaker 2: It's a three time MVP. Okay, but there's pressure now, 1513 01:23:21,320 --> 01:23:24,479 Speaker 2: there's pressure on this team to win. Rogers is the 1514 01:23:24,560 --> 01:23:28,519 Speaker 2: key piece. He's an important piece, He's the apex. But 1515 01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:30,920 Speaker 2: it will take a complete unit to get to the top. 1516 01:23:31,840 --> 01:23:36,599 Speaker 2: As important as quarterback is, as thin as that position 1517 01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:38,479 Speaker 2: is in all the sports, where a very few people 1518 01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:41,920 Speaker 2: can do it well, it's the most dependent of any 1519 01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:44,640 Speaker 2: position on the field. The quarterback needs the rest of 1520 01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:49,840 Speaker 2: the symphony to be singing along on key. The roster. 1521 01:23:50,400 --> 01:23:52,840 Speaker 2: If I'm being honest, I think this roster is in 1522 01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:55,719 Speaker 2: pretty good shape. You got a couple of studs, stand 1523 01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:59,200 Speaker 2: out second year players, Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner. Come on, 1524 01:23:59,400 --> 01:24:02,640 Speaker 2: just watching the two go after each other respectfully, a 1525 01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:07,479 Speaker 2: healthy respect. These guys are elite athletes. Man, these guys 1526 01:24:07,479 --> 01:24:10,760 Speaker 2: are big time players, and they came right out of 1527 01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:14,000 Speaker 2: the gate, out of college, step stepped into the national 1528 01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:16,800 Speaker 2: football tame. They're a productive right away. And you know, 1529 01:24:17,439 --> 01:24:21,400 Speaker 2: iron sharpens iron, and so when Wilson and Gardner when 1530 01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:25,120 Speaker 2: they get to you know, one won the Offensive Rookie 1531 01:24:25,160 --> 01:24:26,759 Speaker 2: of the Year award and the other one the Defensive 1532 01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:29,760 Speaker 2: Rookieyear of the Award, respectively. When those two battle it out, 1533 01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:33,439 Speaker 2: it's pretty good. It's pretty good TV, and their banter's okay, 1534 01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:38,240 Speaker 2: but you just marvel at how how truly good they are. 1535 01:24:39,160 --> 01:24:41,479 Speaker 2: And then of course you can't tell the story without 1536 01:24:41,479 --> 01:24:44,640 Speaker 2: including third year quarterback Zach Wilson. He was once a 1537 01:24:44,720 --> 01:24:47,599 Speaker 2: rookie thrown into the fire. He wasn't ready for it. 1538 01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:50,439 Speaker 2: He clearly was not going to be able to take 1539 01:24:50,479 --> 01:24:54,200 Speaker 2: the face of being the franchise and Wilson, I think 1540 01:24:54,360 --> 01:24:58,479 Speaker 2: admitted in Tuesday's show that it wasn't really fun last 1541 01:24:58,479 --> 01:25:00,519 Speaker 2: couple of years and he was not capable play in 1542 01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:03,240 Speaker 2: that role. As a matter of fact, I think quoted him. 1543 01:25:03,240 --> 01:25:06,000 Speaker 2: He said, honestly, things kind of felt they were maybe 1544 01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:08,559 Speaker 2: getting a little worse each week and confidence was going down. 1545 01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:12,840 Speaker 2: So not always fun. Yeah, we know, but now Zach 1546 01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:16,000 Speaker 2: Wilson has embraced his role as a backup quarterback with Rogers, 1547 01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:22,240 Speaker 2: and Robert Saalid admitted as much, and hard knocks, you know, 1548 01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:26,639 Speaker 2: we got to watch Rogers mentoring Wilson and other players, 1549 01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:29,280 Speaker 2: and it didn't seem contrived. I think Aaron Rodgers is 1550 01:25:29,280 --> 01:25:31,760 Speaker 2: in a comfort zone like he's never been in his 1551 01:25:31,960 --> 01:25:34,280 Speaker 2: entire life. I don't think he got the respect in 1552 01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:37,920 Speaker 2: high school, was not recruited, went to but junior college, 1553 01:25:38,360 --> 01:25:42,320 Speaker 2: went to Cal toiled behind Brett Fahr for years, never 1554 01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:44,839 Speaker 2: really felt he got the respect. The dude's got a 1555 01:25:44,920 --> 01:25:46,639 Speaker 2: not a chip on his shoulder, he's got a ten 1556 01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:50,240 Speaker 2: bowlders on his shoulder. But now he seems really content 1557 01:25:51,280 --> 01:25:53,519 Speaker 2: And when you watch him mentor other players and talk, 1558 01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:56,760 Speaker 2: and Rodgers is a bright man. He just maybe he 1559 01:25:56,800 --> 01:25:59,640 Speaker 2: isn't misunderstood. But I think he's just angry that he 1560 01:25:59,680 --> 01:26:01,439 Speaker 2: always felt he had to do twice as much to 1561 01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:02,519 Speaker 2: get half as much respect. 1562 01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:02,600 Speaker 3: Now. 1563 01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:04,439 Speaker 2: I didn't play in the Hall of Fame game obviously 1564 01:26:04,880 --> 01:26:07,879 Speaker 2: against Cleveland, but he was engaged and he seemed genuinely 1565 01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:10,479 Speaker 2: engaged on the spot on the sideline. He even asked 1566 01:26:10,479 --> 01:26:14,320 Speaker 2: for a headset and he was relaying tips to Zach Wilson. 1567 01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:17,600 Speaker 2: He was even even mentioned he called for Wilson to 1568 01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:21,120 Speaker 2: connect with Malik Taylor right before the snap, and sure enough, 1569 01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:24,439 Speaker 2: this made for great TV. The next play, Wilson hits 1570 01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:26,240 Speaker 2: Malik Taylor for the longest play of the game, of 1571 01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:31,720 Speaker 2: fifty seven yard reception. It showed off, you know, it 1572 01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:34,439 Speaker 2: showed off the arm strength that Jack Wilson does have. 1573 01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:37,160 Speaker 2: He clearly has arm talent. If you talk to the 1574 01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:39,200 Speaker 2: people who saw him at his pro day and the 1575 01:26:39,240 --> 01:26:43,360 Speaker 2: combine was making, he was turning heads, okay, but he's 1576 01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:46,120 Speaker 2: not mature enough to handle the role and take all 1577 01:26:46,160 --> 01:26:49,120 Speaker 2: the things that came along with it. So one of 1578 01:26:49,120 --> 01:26:51,799 Speaker 2: the reasons you bring Rogers on your team, in addition 1579 01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:54,519 Speaker 2: to hopefully winning a Super Bowl, was to try to 1580 01:26:54,800 --> 01:27:00,120 Speaker 2: position and prepare for Zach Wilson to be the successor. 1581 01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:01,760 Speaker 2: Maybe two years away, I don't know, maybe even three 1582 01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:03,800 Speaker 2: years away. I don't know. If Rogers played three more years, 1583 01:27:04,240 --> 01:27:06,120 Speaker 2: and that would mean it would take Zach Wilson four 1584 01:27:06,160 --> 01:27:08,559 Speaker 2: or five years to really put that happened to Steve 1585 01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:11,000 Speaker 2: Young in Tampa Bay. He was none the worse for wear. 1586 01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:13,400 Speaker 2: You imagine if you're Young with his skill set was 1587 01:27:13,400 --> 01:27:17,120 Speaker 2: playing in today's game. So all in all, listen, I'm 1588 01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:20,400 Speaker 2: here for it. There's still four more episodes. This is 1589 01:27:20,439 --> 01:27:23,800 Speaker 2: the eighteen season of Hard Knock. One of the best analogies. 1590 01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:26,679 Speaker 2: I really got a kick out of it. I made 1591 01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:28,080 Speaker 2: fun of it in the minute ago, but he says, 1592 01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:29,679 Speaker 2: you know, the only bird in the world that will 1593 01:27:29,720 --> 01:27:32,519 Speaker 2: attack an eagle is a crow. It's a crow. There'll 1594 01:27:32,560 --> 01:27:34,479 Speaker 2: be a whole lot of crows expecting us to fall 1595 01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:39,240 Speaker 2: on our face. That actually kind of resonated. It made sense. 1596 01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:43,280 Speaker 2: And I like Robert Sala, and I know he's from Dearborn, Michigan, 1597 01:27:43,720 --> 01:27:47,439 Speaker 2: Dearborn Fortune High. I believe it's a very proud school. 1598 01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:50,240 Speaker 2: They play hard nose football there. They actually won a 1599 01:27:50,280 --> 01:27:52,719 Speaker 2: state championship back in ninety three. I think with Robert 1600 01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:55,200 Speaker 2: Sala was too young to be on that team. But 1601 01:27:55,400 --> 01:27:58,840 Speaker 2: Robert Sala understands the essence of football. And I think 1602 01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:01,200 Speaker 2: you've got a really good blend there in Green Bay. 1603 01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:04,120 Speaker 2: And I was kind of impressed watching Nathaniel Hackett too. 1604 01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:06,759 Speaker 2: He got a kick out of him. And even Live Schreiber, 1605 01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:09,040 Speaker 2: the fifty five year old Live Schreiber. I didn't know 1606 01:28:09,080 --> 01:28:11,639 Speaker 2: he played cornerback at Brooklyn Tech. Voice of God Right, 1607 01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:15,920 Speaker 2: I got to kick hole McCole Hardman. He's a newcomer 1608 01:28:15,960 --> 01:28:18,719 Speaker 2: to the team. He talks to Rogers mid practice about 1609 01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:21,000 Speaker 2: Hey Aaron, I watch you since I was seven years old. 1610 01:28:21,479 --> 01:28:23,920 Speaker 2: If I'm doing the math correctly here, that means when 1611 01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:27,200 Speaker 2: Hartman was seven, he was watching Rogers as a packer, 1612 01:28:27,280 --> 01:28:30,360 Speaker 2: rookie and ten years old, and Rogers became a starter 1613 01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:33,200 Speaker 2: and now they're on the same team. That's kind of 1614 01:28:33,200 --> 01:28:35,800 Speaker 2: wild when you think about it. Right now, from what 1615 01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:38,479 Speaker 2: we've learned so far about the defense, they're having to 1616 01:28:38,520 --> 01:28:40,639 Speaker 2: do a lot of push ups because Rogers is lighting 1617 01:28:40,680 --> 01:28:43,360 Speaker 2: them up in drills. You know how that goes, You 1618 01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:45,040 Speaker 2: get beat you to push ups. I bet the Jets 1619 01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:48,120 Speaker 2: defensive players aren't thrilled about the push ups, but I 1620 01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:49,760 Speaker 2: guess they're happy to do them because they know they 1621 01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:53,439 Speaker 2: got Rogers on the team. And another nice touch he 1622 01:28:53,520 --> 01:28:56,760 Speaker 2: got to see Sauce Gardner's graduation from the University of Cincinnati, 1623 01:28:56,760 --> 01:29:00,240 Speaker 2: and even with Nick vad Exel there, I'm surprised the 1624 01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:03,400 Speaker 2: next van Axel didn't say, hey, Man, can't Coon. Can't coon? 1625 01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:06,280 Speaker 2: But well, I digress. But they had a nice little 1626 01:29:06,360 --> 01:29:09,320 Speaker 2: chat between the two of them, and van Exel certainly 1627 01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:12,519 Speaker 2: certainly showed a lot of awareness, and I think, listen, 1628 01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:18,400 Speaker 2: that's hashtag respect. Okay. Sauce Gardner who's a Detroit kid. 1629 01:29:18,479 --> 01:29:21,120 Speaker 2: I'm on Gardener. He fulfilled his promise to his mom 1630 01:29:21,160 --> 01:29:23,400 Speaker 2: to finish his degree. She wanted him to earn that. 1631 01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:26,440 Speaker 2: You have to respect when players go back to school. 1632 01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:28,719 Speaker 2: And I love that Gardner got it done. He didn't 1633 01:29:28,760 --> 01:29:30,639 Speaker 2: waste time. He got it done right after his rookieyear. 1634 01:29:30,840 --> 01:29:32,400 Speaker 2: You got to get the man and put some respect 1635 01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:35,840 Speaker 2: on his name. Now, the most dramatic entrance, of course, 1636 01:29:36,479 --> 01:29:41,120 Speaker 2: the cameo. I don't believe ever that the shared the 1637 01:29:41,240 --> 01:29:43,519 Speaker 2: narrator of the show, the Voice of God, Live Schreiber 1638 01:29:44,479 --> 01:29:49,440 Speaker 2: has ever been on camera, and he lands via helicopter, 1639 01:29:49,479 --> 01:29:52,519 Speaker 2: said it wasn't his idea. That was kind of badass, though. 1640 01:29:52,840 --> 01:29:55,160 Speaker 2: Then he narrates his own landing. He meets up her Rogers, 1641 01:29:55,200 --> 01:29:58,960 Speaker 2: who seems to really fanboy over Live Schreiber, calling him 1642 01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:01,719 Speaker 2: the Voice of God, not one time, but multiple times. 1643 01:30:02,280 --> 01:30:04,800 Speaker 2: And then, of course Live Schreiber breaks right into I'm 1644 01:30:04,840 --> 01:30:07,040 Speaker 2: just trying to keep up with John Facenda, who's the 1645 01:30:07,080 --> 01:30:10,719 Speaker 2: all time voice of NFL films. Unreal, that's the voice 1646 01:30:10,760 --> 01:30:15,120 Speaker 2: you hear, that deep voice you heard forever. I thought 1647 01:30:15,120 --> 01:30:17,320 Speaker 2: that was a nice touch. I got a kick out 1648 01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:21,960 Speaker 2: of that as well, and then of course the Hall 1649 01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:24,280 Speaker 2: of Fame game, he saw the guys on the sideline, 1650 01:30:24,360 --> 01:30:27,880 Speaker 2: even had a little Dureaul Reeves had a little camera time. 1651 01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:29,880 Speaker 2: He'd been you know, enshrined into the Hall of Fame. 1652 01:30:29,880 --> 01:30:32,479 Speaker 2: Over the weekend, he went up to meet Sauce Gardner. 1653 01:30:33,520 --> 01:30:35,559 Speaker 2: Rogers ends up standing next to Gardner at one point 1654 01:30:35,640 --> 01:30:38,639 Speaker 2: during the ceremony and mentions, you know what you could be. 1655 01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:42,080 Speaker 2: You could end up being inducted one day, and Sauce 1656 01:30:42,120 --> 01:30:44,519 Speaker 2: Gardener looks at him and says, yeah, man, to be 1657 01:30:44,560 --> 01:30:46,240 Speaker 2: a long time. I'm gonna play I'm gonna play in 1658 01:30:46,240 --> 01:30:50,280 Speaker 2: this league forty years. Rogers, he's trying to think of 1659 01:30:50,280 --> 01:30:53,000 Speaker 2: a clever line to say, and he just finally says, 1660 01:30:53,840 --> 01:30:56,599 Speaker 2: that's that's a long time. That's a long time. So look, 1661 01:30:56,680 --> 01:30:58,960 Speaker 2: the Jets are a great story. I'm looking forward to 1662 01:31:00,320 --> 01:31:03,080 Speaker 2: two of Hard Knocks, and of course they showed the 1663 01:31:03,160 --> 01:31:07,440 Speaker 2: loss against Cleveland and we'll see what what next episode 1664 01:31:08,160 --> 01:31:12,040 Speaker 2: holds on Tuesday night. And again I'm a fan of 1665 01:31:12,080 --> 01:31:15,080 Speaker 2: the franchise. I enjoyed and perhaps it's just it signifies 1666 01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:17,840 Speaker 2: we're close to another real football season starting, and I 1667 01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:22,559 Speaker 2: think it's tremendous and enjoyable. And look, we all know 1668 01:31:22,640 --> 01:31:26,519 Speaker 2: that reality TV is basically anything but reality, and a 1669 01:31:26,520 --> 01:31:29,040 Speaker 2: lot of this is scripted, and a lot of this 1670 01:31:29,160 --> 01:31:32,000 Speaker 2: is orchestrated in pre programmed, but for the most part, 1671 01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:36,360 Speaker 2: it does still seem authentic. Right, there was a hell 1672 01:31:36,360 --> 01:31:38,160 Speaker 2: of a lot of man we got Rogers and the 1673 01:31:38,200 --> 01:31:40,200 Speaker 2: little love fest got to be just a little much. 1674 01:31:40,240 --> 01:31:42,680 Speaker 2: But I think those guys are genuinely happy because when 1675 01:31:42,680 --> 01:31:45,120 Speaker 2: you see Rogers dropping it in a bucket fifty five 1676 01:31:45,240 --> 01:31:49,880 Speaker 2: yards away and incredible accuracy and confidence and experience. He 1677 01:31:50,160 --> 01:31:52,640 Speaker 2: you know, he talks to talk, but he walks the 1678 01:31:52,680 --> 01:31:55,400 Speaker 2: walk and they haven't seen a guy like that, and 1679 01:31:55,439 --> 01:31:58,720 Speaker 2: that does get you excited. There are transcendent players and 1680 01:31:58,760 --> 01:32:00,719 Speaker 2: let'll tell you this is a This has a chance 1681 01:32:00,760 --> 01:32:04,080 Speaker 2: to be an incredible renaissance. Aaron Rodgers. When you consider 1682 01:32:04,080 --> 01:32:08,599 Speaker 2: the last three years, how he's been portrayed, a lot 1683 01:32:08,600 --> 01:32:11,880 Speaker 2: of it through his own doing. His shorts aren't clean either. 1684 01:32:11,920 --> 01:32:14,960 Speaker 2: He hasn't been perfect, and the truth of the matters, 1685 01:32:14,960 --> 01:32:16,400 Speaker 2: he hasn't had a hell of a lot of success 1686 01:32:16,400 --> 01:32:18,920 Speaker 2: in Green Bay the last three years has he and 1687 01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:21,599 Speaker 2: people question whether we years old and they go out 1688 01:32:21,600 --> 01:32:23,360 Speaker 2: and draft Jordan Love and you know the whole story. 1689 01:32:23,400 --> 01:32:26,519 Speaker 2: But this is a fresh start and we're all watching, 1690 01:32:27,520 --> 01:32:31,599 Speaker 2: and I think Hard Knocks provides that insight that might 1691 01:32:31,680 --> 01:32:34,439 Speaker 2: just be a little bit cutting between the layers and 1692 01:32:34,479 --> 01:32:35,960 Speaker 2: getting a little into the weeds. Let's see what the 1693 01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:38,320 Speaker 2: next four episodes look like, and well, I'll have kind 1694 01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:40,720 Speaker 2: of a synopsis on each one, but coming up we'll 1695 01:32:40,720 --> 01:32:43,800 Speaker 2: bring in the crew.

Just a couple of 1711 01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:28,800 Speaker 2: quickies before we get to Kevin and Shay. I gotta 1712 01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:34,599 Speaker 2: admit Robert Sala's speech about crows and stories and eagles 1713 01:33:34,600 --> 01:33:38,120 Speaker 2: and crows and flying high was okay. But if you notice, 1714 01:33:38,160 --> 01:33:41,760 Speaker 2: the team didn't exactly look enthused. They weren't amped up. 1715 01:33:41,800 --> 01:33:43,280 Speaker 2: They looked a little They had kind of a weird 1716 01:33:43,280 --> 01:33:45,599 Speaker 2: look on their face. And I got to tell you, 1717 01:33:45,800 --> 01:33:48,320 Speaker 2: the f bombs coming out of Robert Sala's mouth. They 1718 01:33:48,360 --> 01:33:50,519 Speaker 2: don't roll off the tongue like they did with Bill O'Brien. 1719 01:33:51,240 --> 01:33:53,840 Speaker 2: They just don't. And they looked very unnatural. And by 1720 01:33:53,880 --> 01:33:57,400 Speaker 2: the way, all due respect to Ed Sheeran, we're showing 1721 01:33:57,400 --> 01:34:00,960 Speaker 2: this training camp montage set to cheer and shivers in 1722 01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:04,960 Speaker 2: the background. Okay, I didn't get that, but that's just me. Kevin, 1723 01:34:04,960 --> 01:34:06,960 Speaker 2: did you watch the first episode of Hard Knocks? 1724 01:34:07,040 --> 01:34:08,559 Speaker 6: I have not had a chance to watch the first 1725 01:34:08,600 --> 01:34:12,120 Speaker 6: episode yet, unfortunately, but just like the Mansael documentary, it 1726 01:34:12,200 --> 01:34:12,880 Speaker 6: is on my list. 1727 01:34:13,520 --> 01:34:15,600 Speaker 2: So have you heard have you talked to anybody about it? 1728 01:34:15,600 --> 01:34:18,080 Speaker 2: And what's your general, So what is your general thought 1729 01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:20,679 Speaker 2: about Hard Knocks and more specifically the New York Jets 1730 01:34:20,680 --> 01:34:21,720 Speaker 2: this year anyway. 1731 01:34:21,439 --> 01:34:23,639 Speaker 6: Well, hard Knocks in general, I kind of felt over 1732 01:34:23,680 --> 01:34:26,640 Speaker 6: the last few years it's it's been kind of just homogenized, 1733 01:34:26,640 --> 01:34:29,120 Speaker 6: for lack of a better term, it's a find a 1734 01:34:29,200 --> 01:34:32,280 Speaker 6: true undrafted rookie guy to follow around. Here's the backup 1735 01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:35,040 Speaker 6: quarterback and his wife cooking a meal. Here's a guy 1736 01:34:35,080 --> 01:34:37,120 Speaker 6: that has a truck and a side hills. It's the 1737 01:34:37,160 --> 01:34:39,840 Speaker 6: same thing, you know, And I'm not trying I know. Look, 1738 01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:41,519 Speaker 6: I know they're trying their best to try to give 1739 01:34:41,520 --> 01:34:43,760 Speaker 6: you some backstory, and I recycle some of the same 1740 01:34:43,800 --> 01:34:46,479 Speaker 6: narratives that we already know about the certain same players. 1741 01:34:46,479 --> 01:34:49,000 Speaker 6: But I feel like they've kind of reached their limit 1742 01:34:49,080 --> 01:34:51,680 Speaker 6: in things that they can possibly do when following and 1743 01:34:51,760 --> 01:34:54,920 Speaker 6: chronicling a team. So now, look, I Bernie, I've still watched. 1744 01:34:54,960 --> 01:34:58,080 Speaker 6: I still watch pretty much every season, but I do 1745 01:34:58,120 --> 01:35:00,240 Speaker 6: think I don't know what they can do despice up 1746 01:35:00,240 --> 01:35:02,479 Speaker 6: a little bit. I do like the regular season version 1747 01:35:02,880 --> 01:35:04,640 Speaker 6: that they've done the last couple of years, and then 1748 01:35:04,680 --> 01:35:07,200 Speaker 6: following up the Amazon Prime All or Nothing series that 1749 01:35:07,200 --> 01:35:09,439 Speaker 6: they had a couple of years ago, because then there's 1750 01:35:09,479 --> 01:35:12,280 Speaker 6: a storyline to follow throughout the entire season, and there's 1751 01:35:12,520 --> 01:35:14,760 Speaker 6: you know, there's actually building towards something. So I do 1752 01:35:14,840 --> 01:35:17,040 Speaker 6: like the regular season version, but the preseason version for me, 1753 01:35:17,160 --> 01:35:19,080 Speaker 6: is kind of passe at this point. 1754 01:35:19,320 --> 01:35:23,559 Speaker 2: I agree homogenized is the operative word. Good observation. And 1755 01:35:23,680 --> 01:35:28,280 Speaker 2: of course we will not see people getting cut anymore, 1756 01:35:28,520 --> 01:35:31,160 Speaker 2: which was always compelling, and you know, you don't want 1757 01:35:31,160 --> 01:35:32,960 Speaker 2: to see people lose their job, but oftentimes those guys 1758 01:35:33,080 --> 01:35:35,679 Speaker 2: end up on other team's rosters, and that was always 1759 01:35:36,160 --> 01:35:39,760 Speaker 2: really that was pretty compelling TV. All right, Shade, did 1760 01:35:39,760 --> 01:35:40,880 Speaker 2: you watch your Hard Knocks? 1761 01:35:41,120 --> 01:35:41,840 Speaker 8: I did watch it. 1762 01:35:41,960 --> 01:35:43,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, your thoughts? 1763 01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:46,840 Speaker 10: So, I mean I liked it. I'm I'm a fan 1764 01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:50,160 Speaker 10: of Hard Knocks. I've watched every season basically. Something I 1765 01:35:50,200 --> 01:35:53,240 Speaker 10: didn't like about the episode though, is there wasn't a 1766 01:35:53,400 --> 01:35:57,280 Speaker 10: lot of clips from the actual practice facility, I think, 1767 01:35:57,360 --> 01:36:00,880 Speaker 10: like other than from like that one position group meeting, 1768 01:36:01,040 --> 01:36:03,800 Speaker 10: from like the group meeting rooms, but like most of 1769 01:36:03,840 --> 01:36:05,720 Speaker 10: it was just from the game in Canton, from the 1770 01:36:05,720 --> 01:36:08,960 Speaker 10: practice field, and that's one of the things I like 1771 01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:11,479 Speaker 10: the most because you see these random conversations going on 1772 01:36:11,840 --> 01:36:16,080 Speaker 10: or just the small little interactions that happened like within 1773 01:36:16,120 --> 01:36:18,439 Speaker 10: the practice facility or just while they're watching film or 1774 01:36:18,479 --> 01:36:21,000 Speaker 10: something like that. Like the comedic relief almost like comes 1775 01:36:21,000 --> 01:36:23,479 Speaker 10: with it is something that I really like. But I 1776 01:36:23,479 --> 01:36:25,120 Speaker 10: thought it was really cool. I mean, the Robert solid 1777 01:36:25,120 --> 01:36:27,680 Speaker 10: speech was great. I was actually watching it during the 1778 01:36:27,760 --> 01:36:30,120 Speaker 10: Jason Smith Show and all I could hear him scream was. 1779 01:36:31,200 --> 01:36:32,920 Speaker 8: For the last four hours. 1780 01:36:33,320 --> 01:36:35,000 Speaker 10: So I mean, yeah, I do have some hate for them, 1781 01:36:35,040 --> 01:36:37,160 Speaker 10: just because that's in the back of my head twenty 1782 01:36:37,160 --> 01:36:37,679 Speaker 10: four to seven. 1783 01:36:37,720 --> 01:36:38,240 Speaker 2: But it was cool. 1784 01:36:38,280 --> 01:36:39,440 Speaker 8: I mean, it was a great episode. 1785 01:36:39,840 --> 01:36:41,920 Speaker 2: No, it's good observation. I think we'd all like to 1786 01:36:41,960 --> 01:36:43,960 Speaker 2: see them get into the weeds a little more. You 1787 01:36:43,960 --> 01:36:47,000 Speaker 2: did have the one meeting with the defensive coordinator and 1788 01:36:47,040 --> 01:36:49,200 Speaker 2: she's all right, well you're do your job. Do your job. Well, 1789 01:36:49,200 --> 01:36:51,599 Speaker 2: that's for the rest of the f and NFL ours 1790 01:36:51,680 --> 01:36:54,439 Speaker 2: is do your job and a little more. Okay. I 1791 01:36:54,880 --> 01:37:00,680 Speaker 2: do like those conversations that are high level that you 1792 01:37:00,800 --> 01:37:04,360 Speaker 2: only will hear in a professional camp. And some coaches 1793 01:37:04,400 --> 01:37:08,040 Speaker 2: are just wee we'll see to what degree the Jets 1794 01:37:08,080 --> 01:37:12,160 Speaker 2: coaches are creative, but some are incredibly creative. I mean 1795 01:37:12,200 --> 01:37:15,960 Speaker 2: when they did the Atlanta Falcons years Ago one coach 1796 01:37:16,120 --> 01:37:18,040 Speaker 2: was talking to a linebacker who was starting to come 1797 01:37:18,080 --> 01:37:20,880 Speaker 2: in to his own in the NFL. He says, son, 1798 01:37:21,040 --> 01:37:22,720 Speaker 2: you can play this game, but you're not good enough 1799 01:37:22,760 --> 01:37:24,519 Speaker 2: to be an a hole. And he said the real 1800 01:37:24,520 --> 01:37:27,320 Speaker 2: ward A. I'm thinking, what a great statement. You know, 1801 01:37:27,360 --> 01:37:29,240 Speaker 2: there are a lot of people you never want to 1802 01:37:29,280 --> 01:37:31,840 Speaker 2: be around someone who's arrogant. But if they're arrogant and 1803 01:37:31,880 --> 01:37:34,080 Speaker 2: they're an idiot, that's a bad party. If they're arrogant 1804 01:37:34,120 --> 01:37:36,479 Speaker 2: and they're successful, he'll put up with it. You don't 1805 01:37:36,520 --> 01:37:37,960 Speaker 2: like it, but he says, you're not good enough to 1806 01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:40,879 Speaker 2: be arrogant an ahole. I'm looking for some clever dialogue 1807 01:37:40,880 --> 01:37:44,640 Speaker 2: because I've heard it in my day. Nathaniel Hackett. I'm 1808 01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:47,760 Speaker 2: underwhelmed by Nathaniel Hackett. He's he's a good dude, right. 1809 01:37:48,400 --> 01:37:50,680 Speaker 2: I think he knows what he's doing, and he's in 1810 01:37:50,760 --> 01:37:52,879 Speaker 2: his role now, he's in his element as an offensive 1811 01:37:52,880 --> 01:37:55,720 Speaker 2: coordinator and he's trying to say face. I don't care 1812 01:37:55,720 --> 01:37:58,599 Speaker 2: what anybody says. There's no way you can not look 1813 01:37:58,600 --> 01:38:00,519 Speaker 2: at Nathaniel Hackett the rest of the year and think 1814 01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:03,000 Speaker 2: about Sean Payton's commidents. What makes that goal away the 1815 01:38:03,080 --> 01:38:05,640 Speaker 2: Jets get to the playoffs, okay, and get to the 1816 01:38:05,680 --> 01:38:08,519 Speaker 2: AFC Championship game or something, then it goes away, I think. 1817 01:38:09,320 --> 01:38:12,479 Speaker 2: And then of course Zach Wilson, I mean, Nathaniel Hacketts 1818 01:38:12,520 --> 01:38:16,879 Speaker 2: looking for redemption and Zach Wilson's very much looking for redemption. 1819 01:38:17,240 --> 01:38:20,240 Speaker 2: And I think Zach Wilson got off to a decent start. 1820 01:38:20,280 --> 01:38:22,439 Speaker 2: He's trying to show that he's humble, he's trying to 1821 01:38:22,439 --> 01:38:25,240 Speaker 2: be dutiful, he's being honest about his last couple seasons. 1822 01:38:25,560 --> 01:38:29,080 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is coaching him up, and Wilson throws, shows 1823 01:38:29,080 --> 01:38:31,120 Speaker 2: his arm talent, throws a couple of nice long balls. 1824 01:38:31,720 --> 01:38:35,000 Speaker 2: And by the way, Zach's, you know, maybeen hitting the 1825 01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:39,120 Speaker 2: weight room. His his biceps look look decent.

Chris Prophet's World of Soccer. 1853 01:39:56,800 --> 01:40:00,160 Speaker 2: We've got to have our epilogue on the women his 1854 01:40:00,200 --> 01:40:05,639 Speaker 2: team's exit. Will the Saudi Pro League be televised? Harry Kane, 1855 01:40:05,680 --> 01:40:07,360 Speaker 2: Lionel Messi in the news. That's why we bring you 1856 01:40:07,360 --> 01:40:09,120 Speaker 2: every week, Chris Profet's World of Soccer. 1857 01:40:10,320 --> 01:40:20,920 Speaker 7: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drama. 1858 01:40:26,160 --> 01:40:29,639 Speaker 1: It's all here in this report from the World of Soccer. 1859 01:40:30,520 --> 01:40:33,640 Speaker 2: All right, Chris, uh, the World Cup continues, but not 1860 01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:35,759 Speaker 2: without the women's team. What are your closing thoughts? 1861 01:40:36,880 --> 01:40:38,760 Speaker 11: Well, it's like we kind of called at the start 1862 01:40:38,800 --> 01:40:40,680 Speaker 11: of this tournament, Bernie, I think you and I were 1863 01:40:40,720 --> 01:40:43,960 Speaker 11: both kind of skeptical about the a massive amount of 1864 01:40:44,200 --> 01:40:46,719 Speaker 11: praising heat at the feet of the United Hit women's 1865 01:40:46,720 --> 01:40:49,000 Speaker 11: team before they had really done anything. We understood that 1866 01:40:49,040 --> 01:40:52,040 Speaker 11: they were changing over a generation here and that a 1867 01:40:52,120 --> 01:40:54,960 Speaker 11: three pp was certainly not going to be easy. I 1868 01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:56,479 Speaker 11: thought it was more because the rest of the world 1869 01:40:56,479 --> 01:40:59,479 Speaker 11: had caught up. I was not anticipating as poor of 1870 01:40:59,520 --> 01:41:02,800 Speaker 11: the offense to performances as I had seen. I know 1871 01:41:02,840 --> 01:41:05,240 Speaker 11: a lot's been made about, you know, the final penalty 1872 01:41:05,240 --> 01:41:09,599 Speaker 11: get shootout, and about Meghan Rapino among others missing their kicks. 1873 01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:11,680 Speaker 11: But I think you and I talked that night. We 1874 01:41:11,800 --> 01:41:14,120 Speaker 11: both agreed it was the best they played all tournament. 1875 01:41:14,200 --> 01:41:16,599 Speaker 11: But you know, when it comes to a nil nel 1876 01:41:16,680 --> 01:41:18,599 Speaker 11: draw at the end of extra time and it comes 1877 01:41:18,600 --> 01:41:21,040 Speaker 11: down to penalty kicks, you're putting your faith in a 1878 01:41:21,080 --> 01:41:23,840 Speaker 11: little bit of random chance and where your leg's going 1879 01:41:23,920 --> 01:41:27,200 Speaker 11: to go on a certain kick. So it's a team 1880 01:41:27,240 --> 01:41:31,000 Speaker 11: that really, I think acted like they came into this 1881 01:41:31,560 --> 01:41:34,320 Speaker 11: already winning the tournament and really just we're not ready 1882 01:41:34,320 --> 01:41:37,600 Speaker 11: for the spotlight yet. And then that's just the shortened. 1883 01:41:37,320 --> 01:41:37,600 Speaker 7: End of it. 1884 01:41:37,640 --> 01:41:39,479 Speaker 11: As you said last week, it feels like more of 1885 01:41:39,560 --> 01:41:43,559 Speaker 11: the Olympics and how they came up short back then too. 1886 01:41:44,240 --> 01:41:48,160 Speaker 2: So coach and Danowski made I thought a shrewd move 1887 01:41:48,200 --> 01:41:51,559 Speaker 2: in the final game in his lineup, providing opportunities for 1888 01:41:51,600 --> 01:41:54,000 Speaker 2: Lindsay around. They created offense, just couldn't put it the net. 1889 01:41:54,439 --> 01:41:56,080 Speaker 2: Now people are saying it was too little, too late. 1890 01:41:56,120 --> 01:41:56,960 Speaker 2: Did he keep his job? 1891 01:41:58,640 --> 01:41:59,120 Speaker 4: I don't know. 1892 01:41:59,320 --> 01:42:01,600 Speaker 11: I'm not quite sure what to really make of his 1893 01:42:01,760 --> 01:42:04,320 Speaker 11: job right now. From everything I've seen, everyone seems very 1894 01:42:04,400 --> 01:42:06,280 Speaker 11: upset about the manager, but. 1895 01:42:06,240 --> 01:42:07,200 Speaker 6: That always seems to be the. 1896 01:42:07,120 --> 01:42:09,400 Speaker 11: Case of the United States teams. No one's really happy 1897 01:42:09,439 --> 01:42:13,000 Speaker 11: with the manager at any point at any time. I think, though, 1898 01:42:13,080 --> 01:42:16,000 Speaker 11: given just how he's handled these lineups and didn't really 1899 01:42:16,439 --> 01:42:20,520 Speaker 11: get anyone set for this, I would be not surprised 1900 01:42:20,560 --> 01:42:22,360 Speaker 11: if he's out of a job, though. It seems like 1901 01:42:22,400 --> 01:42:25,640 Speaker 11: they're already measuring up other candidates for the next Olympics. 1902 01:42:25,960 --> 01:42:29,599 Speaker 2: So Fox continues to be aggressive in their coverage of soccer, 1903 01:42:29,680 --> 01:42:32,080 Speaker 2: including the Saudi Pro League. What have you got? 1904 01:42:32,840 --> 01:42:35,320 Speaker 11: Yeah, so this was actually very surprising news this week. 1905 01:42:35,320 --> 01:42:37,559 Speaker 11: We've talked in the past before, Bernie about how the 1906 01:42:37,600 --> 01:42:40,599 Speaker 11: Saudi Pro League has really thrown their money around, especially 1907 01:42:40,640 --> 01:42:44,120 Speaker 11: given that a lot of the league is backed by 1908 01:42:44,200 --> 01:42:49,040 Speaker 11: the Saudi Royal Investment Fund and now Fox in the 1909 01:42:49,120 --> 01:42:53,160 Speaker 11: United States and also in other places, the Saudi Pro 1910 01:42:53,240 --> 01:42:56,200 Speaker 11: League is becoming more available. So we've got Fox the 1911 01:42:56,280 --> 01:42:58,559 Speaker 11: United States. Zone's going to pick it up in Canada. 1912 01:42:59,080 --> 01:43:04,200 Speaker 11: I believe there's deals in place in the UK, France, Australia, Austria, 1913 01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:08,080 Speaker 11: several other European countries. It seems like they are actually 1914 01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:10,920 Speaker 11: serious after a little bit to actually start to Now 1915 01:43:10,920 --> 01:43:14,080 Speaker 11: they've got some star power with Cristiano Ronaldo and Krim Benzima, 1916 01:43:14,400 --> 01:43:17,160 Speaker 11: they wanted to start putting this on televisions. I worry 1917 01:43:17,160 --> 01:43:18,920 Speaker 11: if it's a little bit too little, too late, at 1918 01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:21,040 Speaker 11: least here in the United States, because if you're going 1919 01:43:21,120 --> 01:43:23,439 Speaker 11: to be selling us on the Saudi Pro League and 1920 01:43:23,479 --> 01:43:26,840 Speaker 11: the star power like Cristiana Ronaldo, we've already kind of 1921 01:43:26,840 --> 01:43:30,000 Speaker 11: had that meteor impact that is Leonel Messi, So they're 1922 01:43:30,040 --> 01:43:31,479 Speaker 11: going to have to play a little bit of catch up. 1923 01:43:31,560 --> 01:43:33,760 Speaker 11: But it should be interesting to add that to another 1924 01:43:33,840 --> 01:43:36,479 Speaker 11: pile of more soccer available over in this country. But 1925 01:43:36,640 --> 01:43:39,679 Speaker 11: they're working on improving their visibility, which is great. I've 1926 01:43:39,680 --> 01:43:42,519 Speaker 11: had doubts about how serious they were with this league, 1927 01:43:42,560 --> 01:43:46,160 Speaker 11: and you know, Global Global Deals definitely helps that way. 1928 01:43:47,120 --> 01:43:49,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing more soccer on TV. 1929 01:43:49,880 --> 01:43:52,680 Speaker 2: You're doing a great job, all right, Harry Kane on 1930 01:43:52,720 --> 01:43:54,840 Speaker 2: the movie. We talked about him a lot last year 1931 01:43:54,920 --> 01:43:58,360 Speaker 2: during the fall in the Men's World Cup. Honest way 1932 01:43:58,400 --> 01:44:01,120 Speaker 2: to Baron Munich the headline and I saw is it 1933 01:44:01,160 --> 01:44:03,479 Speaker 2: true they paid one hundred and eleven million for. 1934 01:44:03,520 --> 01:44:09,080 Speaker 11: Him something in that ballpark. Harry Kanes made no bones 1935 01:44:09,120 --> 01:44:11,519 Speaker 11: about that. He's been wanting to depart and him and 1936 01:44:11,560 --> 01:44:13,400 Speaker 11: Tottenham have been trying to figure out a way to 1937 01:44:13,520 --> 01:44:17,520 Speaker 11: make the divorce happen for about the last two years, 1938 01:44:17,880 --> 01:44:20,640 Speaker 11: and I think there was more power in in Tottenham's 1939 01:44:20,680 --> 01:44:23,760 Speaker 11: court in this case. Although to be honest, the only 1940 01:44:24,120 --> 01:44:26,000 Speaker 11: I believe the deal he signed with Byron Munich is 1941 01:44:26,040 --> 01:44:29,680 Speaker 11: about four years, so he's thirty right now. That will 1942 01:44:29,760 --> 01:44:32,720 Speaker 11: take him through basically the end of his peak. And 1943 01:44:33,760 --> 01:44:36,600 Speaker 11: you know, it was a it was a it was 1944 01:44:36,640 --> 01:44:38,880 Speaker 11: a deal, it was a it was a king's ransom. 1945 01:44:38,920 --> 01:44:42,400 Speaker 11: But Harry Kane is really a king, a king fourteen 1946 01:44:42,479 --> 01:44:46,160 Speaker 11: years the Tottenham Hotspur and unfortunately the club just isn't 1947 01:44:46,200 --> 01:44:49,000 Speaker 11: going anywhere. They're not doing anything the best. We could 1948 01:44:49,080 --> 01:44:51,200 Speaker 11: maybe say he's going to compete for a care About Cup, 1949 01:44:51,280 --> 01:44:54,439 Speaker 11: but you know, this is a man, the captain of 1950 01:44:54,439 --> 01:44:57,519 Speaker 11: England and he's wants to play in Champions League and 1951 01:44:57,520 --> 01:44:59,759 Speaker 11: Byron Munich kind of gives him that chance to really 1952 01:45:00,120 --> 01:45:05,160 Speaker 11: gopher titles in in Bluenesliga, Gopher Champions League, and uh yeah, 1953 01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:07,519 Speaker 11: it's it's sad to see him leave Tottenham, but I 1954 01:45:07,560 --> 01:45:09,880 Speaker 11: think he's gonna have some great opportunities at Bayern Munich. 1955 01:45:11,439 --> 01:45:16,080 Speaker 2: So we finished with Leannel Messi, who just continues to 1956 01:45:16,200 --> 01:45:20,080 Speaker 2: look like a man against boys. And it's my understanding. 1957 01:45:20,680 --> 01:45:24,320 Speaker 2: It's my understanding. Enter Miami is now a League Cup 1958 01:45:24,479 --> 01:45:26,439 Speaker 2: favorite because of how well he's playing. 1959 01:45:27,320 --> 01:45:29,719 Speaker 11: Yeah, well, they're already into the semi finals, and actually 1960 01:45:29,880 --> 01:45:32,400 Speaker 11: LAFC got knocked out of the semi finals in a 1961 01:45:32,479 --> 01:45:36,040 Speaker 11: rather stunning development here in the League's Cup this week, 1962 01:45:36,160 --> 01:45:38,840 Speaker 11: so it's clearing the way for it. But Bernie, this 1963 01:45:38,880 --> 01:45:41,080 Speaker 11: is his fifth straight goal. He sees in the game 1964 01:45:41,120 --> 01:45:44,200 Speaker 11: he scored goals in and he didn't he didn't read 1965 01:45:44,280 --> 01:45:46,680 Speaker 11: this victory office. What a lot more goes to the 1966 01:45:46,920 --> 01:45:52,000 Speaker 11: you know, the other former, Joseph Martinez. Miami's playing very 1967 01:45:52,040 --> 01:45:56,759 Speaker 11: well right now. Messi is just unstoppable. And Martinez himself, 1968 01:45:56,760 --> 01:45:58,920 Speaker 11: I think earlier this week, talked about, hey, when he 1969 01:45:58,920 --> 01:46:01,280 Speaker 11: plays well, it opens up our opportunities for the rest 1970 01:46:01,280 --> 01:46:04,439 Speaker 11: of us as well. I didn't think that with him 1971 01:46:04,439 --> 01:46:06,720 Speaker 11: playing about half the MLS season, he might be in 1972 01:46:06,800 --> 01:46:10,760 Speaker 11: play for some sort of some sort of goal title here. 1973 01:46:11,120 --> 01:46:13,160 Speaker 11: I don't even know if League Cups qualify for that. 1974 01:46:13,280 --> 01:46:16,719 Speaker 11: But he's not going to stop. He's not going to stop. 1975 01:46:16,760 --> 01:46:19,040 Speaker 11: And at this point, getting in to see him at 1976 01:46:19,040 --> 01:46:21,120 Speaker 11: any kind of US venue is starting to look like, 1977 01:46:21,200 --> 01:46:23,439 Speaker 11: you know, you're buying tickets for Taylor Swift. 1978 01:46:24,240 --> 01:46:29,400 Speaker 2: Literally. I got to tell you. He's normalizing incredible performances 1979 01:46:29,439 --> 01:46:31,280 Speaker 2: every game, and his teammates, you're doing a great job 1980 01:46:31,320 --> 01:46:32,080 Speaker 2: of setting him up. 1981 01:46:33,200 --> 01:46:33,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1982 01:46:33,600 --> 01:46:36,200 Speaker 11: I think there was you know, MLS when they get 1983 01:46:36,200 --> 01:46:38,040 Speaker 11: a star, and we've always kind of talked about them 1984 01:46:38,040 --> 01:46:40,840 Speaker 11: being a retirement league. And I told you when he 1985 01:46:40,840 --> 01:46:43,120 Speaker 11: came over here, Bernie, he still has a lot enough 1986 01:46:43,200 --> 01:46:45,639 Speaker 11: juice in the tank. He could have easily gone anywhere 1987 01:46:45,680 --> 01:46:47,200 Speaker 11: he won in Europe. He could have gone back to 1988 01:46:47,240 --> 01:46:49,160 Speaker 11: Barcelona if they had the money. You could have stayed 1989 01:46:49,160 --> 01:46:51,600 Speaker 11: with PSG. He's out here in the United States and 1990 01:46:51,640 --> 01:46:56,640 Speaker 11: he's doing some like tremendous, tremendous stuff even at his age. 1991 01:46:57,400 --> 01:46:59,400 Speaker 11: It's not like you're getting someone in the back end. 1992 01:46:59,439 --> 01:47:02,080 Speaker 11: You're getting someone still at the tail end of their 1993 01:47:02,120 --> 01:47:03,880 Speaker 11: prime and he's proving it every game. 1994 01:47:04,439 --> 01:47:07,120 Speaker 2: Good stuff, Chris, Yeah, leadership too. It's clearly that his 1995 01:47:07,280 --> 01:47:10,439 Speaker 2: presence alone, in addition to his goal scoring, Messi has 1996 01:47:10,520 --> 01:47:12,599 Speaker 2: changed the culture in Miami, all right, Chris. We'll seeing 1997 01:47:12,640 --> 01:47:14,519 Speaker 2: about twenty four hours. 1998 01:47:14,520 --> 01:47:15,799 Speaker 11: See then, Bernie, it's. 1999 01:47:15,680 --> 01:47:19,519 Speaker 2: Chris Purfetts World of Soccer coming up.

I'll let him 2003 01:47:29,560 --> 01:47:33,439 Speaker 2: chime in as far as tidbitch, you may not know. 2004 01:47:34,240 --> 01:47:38,960 Speaker 2: And I saw a legendary He's not a Hall of Famer, 2005 01:47:39,680 --> 01:47:43,320 Speaker 2: but a legendary former major leaguer on the MLB Network 2006 01:47:43,360 --> 01:47:46,519 Speaker 2: the other day, and so I cannot resist sharing the 2007 01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:50,639 Speaker 2: kind of odd, obscure, idiosyncratic story about this guy that 2008 01:47:50,720 --> 01:47:53,439 Speaker 2: you only hear on this show.

And by 2026 01:48:49,040 --> 01:48:51,240 Speaker 2: the way, before I get to this story, I teased 2027 01:48:51,880 --> 01:48:55,160 Speaker 2: about a former major leaguer. Shay had a good stat 2028 01:48:55,200 --> 01:48:57,000 Speaker 2: about Michael Lorenzo on He's no hitter. 2029 01:48:57,280 --> 01:49:01,160 Speaker 10: Shay Hey, Yeah, So on the day that Michael Lorenzen 2030 01:49:01,320 --> 01:49:04,479 Speaker 10: threw his no hitter, which I believe was Wednesday, in 2031 01:49:04,840 --> 01:49:09,400 Speaker 10: ESPN fantasy leagues for MLB leagues, the amount of people 2032 01:49:09,400 --> 01:49:11,960 Speaker 10: that actually had him rostered was that just forty six 2033 01:49:12,000 --> 01:49:16,719 Speaker 10: percent under fifty percent of leagues actually had a roster. 2034 01:49:17,000 --> 01:49:20,800 Speaker 2: And we good stuff. We chronicled his his rise the 2035 01:49:20,840 --> 01:49:22,960 Speaker 2: last several years and he toiled. But now he's a 2036 01:49:22,960 --> 01:49:24,920 Speaker 2: free agent. So the world is his oyster. One other 2037 01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:29,719 Speaker 2: final crazy stat Michael Lorenzen went to Fullerton High School 2038 01:49:29,760 --> 01:49:33,760 Speaker 2: in Fullerton, California, which is in North Orange County, not 2039 01:49:33,880 --> 01:49:37,479 Speaker 2: far from Disneyland. He is now the fourth Major league 2040 01:49:37,520 --> 01:49:41,040 Speaker 2: pitcher to throw a no hitter from Fullerton High School. 2041 01:49:41,040 --> 01:49:44,280 Speaker 2: The others, of course, Steve Busby, the Kansas City Royals, 2042 01:49:44,600 --> 01:49:47,240 Speaker 2: Mike Warren who had a long career, and of course 2043 01:49:47,280 --> 01:49:50,679 Speaker 2: the Big Train Walter Johnson, who pitched a no hitter. 2044 01:49:51,160 --> 01:49:54,719 Speaker 2: Fullerton's campus is beautiful. It's an old statue west campus. 2045 01:49:54,720 --> 01:49:59,080 Speaker 2: It's very well kept. Imagine that four pitchers they got 2046 01:49:59,080 --> 01:50:01,280 Speaker 2: to the major leagues from the high school that all 2047 01:50:01,600 --> 01:50:06,120 Speaker 2: threw no hitters. Can't make this stuff off, folks. He 2048 01:50:06,120 --> 01:50:09,360 Speaker 2: can't make this up either. Vince Coleman. You remember Vince Coleman. 2049 01:50:09,360 --> 01:50:13,080 Speaker 2: He is the only Major leaguer in history to steal 2050 01:50:13,800 --> 01:50:18,000 Speaker 2: north of one hundred bases in three consecutive seasons. Now, 2051 01:50:18,040 --> 01:50:20,639 Speaker 2: Ricky Henderson stole a hunter bases in three different seasons 2052 01:50:20,640 --> 01:50:24,879 Speaker 2: of not three consecutive seasons. I love these kind of stories. 2053 01:50:25,000 --> 01:50:26,559 Speaker 2: I can't get enough of them, and I bet you 2054 01:50:26,560 --> 01:50:29,640 Speaker 2: can't either. See, because Vince Coleman wanted to be a 2055 01:50:29,680 --> 01:50:34,200 Speaker 2: football player, but his mom was quite to sink. Vince says, 2056 01:50:34,240 --> 01:50:36,600 Speaker 2: my mother did not want me to play football. She 2057 01:50:36,640 --> 01:50:39,280 Speaker 2: did not want me to play wide receiver. His mom 2058 01:50:39,360 --> 01:50:42,040 Speaker 2: told him, Vince, if they're not gonna let you punt, 2059 01:50:42,320 --> 01:50:46,080 Speaker 2: then play baseball. Well, Vince wanted to be a football player, 2060 01:50:46,280 --> 01:50:48,360 Speaker 2: and in fact, he was on the Florida A and 2061 01:50:48,479 --> 01:50:51,599 Speaker 2: M football team. He was the punter and the kicker. 2062 01:50:52,360 --> 01:50:54,880 Speaker 2: In his freshman year, they won the one Double A 2063 01:50:55,400 --> 01:50:57,760 Speaker 2: Division one Double A that's what it was called back then, 2064 01:50:58,439 --> 01:51:01,800 Speaker 2: national championship, and as a freshman kicker, he actually kicked 2065 01:51:01,840 --> 01:51:05,639 Speaker 2: three extra points in the championship game. The following year, 2066 01:51:05,680 --> 01:51:08,519 Speaker 2: he kicked the winning field goal when Florida A and 2067 01:51:08,680 --> 01:51:11,599 Speaker 2: M had the biggest upset in school history by a mile, 2068 01:51:12,280 --> 01:51:15,760 Speaker 2: they beat the Miami Hurricanes back in the day. But 2069 01:51:15,840 --> 01:51:19,799 Speaker 2: it gets better. Vince Coleman still agreed to play baseball. 2070 01:51:19,880 --> 01:51:23,160 Speaker 2: But he was a walk on on the baseball team 2071 01:51:23,560 --> 01:51:27,800 Speaker 2: and at Florida A and M. And believe it or not, 2072 01:51:28,280 --> 01:51:30,960 Speaker 2: he played with another famous player by the last name 2073 01:51:31,000 --> 01:51:35,840 Speaker 2: of Aaron, Larry Aaron, who happened to be Hank Aaron's son. Well, 2074 01:51:35,960 --> 01:51:39,320 Speaker 2: Vince still really wanted to play football, so after graduation, 2075 01:51:39,479 --> 01:51:43,360 Speaker 2: he tried out with the Redskins, but they didn't have 2076 01:51:43,400 --> 01:51:47,160 Speaker 2: any interest in him being a punter, but he did 2077 01:51:47,240 --> 01:51:50,080 Speaker 2: run a forty in four point twenty nine. They kind 2078 01:51:50,120 --> 01:51:53,040 Speaker 2: of liked him there, but his mom said, you're not 2079 01:51:53,320 --> 01:51:59,200 Speaker 2: playing wide receiver. You're gonna play baseball if they don't 2080 01:51:59,280 --> 01:52:02,360 Speaker 2: let you punt. So the Redskins said, no, you can't punt. 2081 01:52:02,360 --> 01:52:05,000 Speaker 2: You ran a four point twenty nine in the forty, 2082 01:52:05,400 --> 01:52:07,920 Speaker 2: you can play wide receiver. So after walking on as 2083 01:52:07,960 --> 01:52:11,920 Speaker 2: a baseball player at Florida A and M and playing 2084 01:52:11,920 --> 01:52:14,400 Speaker 2: with Hank aaron Son, you know what happened next. He 2085 01:52:14,479 --> 01:52:17,519 Speaker 2: ends up with the Saint Louis Cardinals. He steals forty 2086 01:52:17,520 --> 01:52:21,200 Speaker 2: five bases his rookie season in rookie ball goes to 2087 01:52:21,240 --> 01:52:23,640 Speaker 2: single A steals one hundred and forty five bases in 2088 01:52:23,680 --> 01:52:27,120 Speaker 2: one hundred and thirteen games. Just unreal, and he kept 2089 01:52:27,160 --> 01:52:28,840 Speaker 2: it going when he got to the major leagues. He 2090 01:52:28,880 --> 01:52:32,080 Speaker 2: had a long career and the truth of the matter is, 2091 01:52:32,200 --> 01:52:34,120 Speaker 2: Vince still to this day, is a little bumb They 2092 01:52:34,120 --> 01:52:36,800 Speaker 2: wouldn't let him punt because they thought it would be 2093 01:52:36,800 --> 01:52:41,479 Speaker 2: a great story. And here's where the story gets even better. 2094 01:52:43,600 --> 01:52:46,840 Speaker 2: The only two black punters at the NFL time, they 2095 01:52:46,840 --> 01:52:52,720 Speaker 2: were cousins. If you Minnesota Vikings fans must remember, they 2096 01:52:52,760 --> 01:52:56,280 Speaker 2: had a punter by the name of Greg Coleman. He 2097 01:52:56,360 --> 01:53:00,800 Speaker 2: punted for twelve seasons in the National Football League and 2098 01:53:00,880 --> 01:53:05,760 Speaker 2: eleven with the Vikings. But interestingly enough, they both went 2099 01:53:05,760 --> 01:53:09,000 Speaker 2: to the same high school, Vince Coleman and Greg Coleman. 2100 01:53:10,120 --> 01:53:15,200 Speaker 2: But Vince broke all of Greg's kicking records, so Greg 2101 01:53:15,280 --> 01:53:19,040 Speaker 2: becomes the kicker or the punter for eleven years and 2102 01:53:19,280 --> 01:53:21,840 Speaker 2: with the Vikings in twelve years in the NFL, which 2103 01:53:21,880 --> 01:53:24,439 Speaker 2: is what Vince Coleman wanted to do. But Vince Coleman 2104 01:53:24,479 --> 01:53:27,879 Speaker 2: goes and plays baseball, steals a million bases and obviously 2105 01:53:27,880 --> 01:53:30,000 Speaker 2: one of the greatest base stealers of all time. He 2106 01:53:30,160 --> 01:53:32,920 Speaker 2: listened to his mom. He did what his mom told him. 2107 01:53:33,280 --> 01:53:38,200 Speaker 2: He got drafted by the Saint Louis Cardinals after a 2108 01:53:38,200 --> 01:53:41,080 Speaker 2: scouts saw him one game. And in that game, while 2109 01:53:41,080 --> 01:53:44,240 Speaker 2: playing for Florida A and M as a walk on 2110 01:53:44,439 --> 01:53:47,639 Speaker 2: for Florida A and M, I saw Vince Coleman steal 2111 01:53:47,720 --> 01:53:51,280 Speaker 2: seven bases in one college game. Imagine that your mom 2112 01:53:51,320 --> 01:53:53,719 Speaker 2: won't let you play football unless you're a punter a kicker. 2113 01:53:54,280 --> 01:53:56,519 Speaker 2: So you kick and punt for Florida A and M. 2114 01:53:56,760 --> 01:53:59,439 Speaker 2: You're a part of a national championship team. You're part 2115 01:53:59,479 --> 01:54:03,240 Speaker 2: of a team that upsets Miami. You play with Larry Hank, 2116 01:54:03,240 --> 01:54:06,559 Speaker 2: Aaron's son as a walkout on the baseball team. After 2117 01:54:06,640 --> 01:54:09,600 Speaker 2: graduation from Florida A and M, he still wants to 2118 01:54:09,600 --> 01:54:13,360 Speaker 2: play football. Tries out with the Redskins, runs the forty 2119 01:54:13,400 --> 01:54:16,640 Speaker 2: and four to two nine, but they don't want him 2120 01:54:16,640 --> 01:54:20,880 Speaker 2: as a punter. And yet his cousin Greg Coleman punted 2121 01:54:20,880 --> 01:54:23,480 Speaker 2: for twelve seasons in the NFL, eleven with the Vikings. 2122 01:54:23,760 --> 01:54:26,040 Speaker 2: Vince broke all of his kicking records in high school, 2123 01:54:26,120 --> 01:54:29,800 Speaker 2: but he doesn't get the punt he ends up in baseball. 2124 01:54:29,920 --> 01:54:32,720 Speaker 2: You can't make it up as well as you cannot 2125 01:54:32,720 --> 01:54:35,800 Speaker 2: make up the fact that Michael Lorenzen tossed to noo 2126 01:54:36,240 --> 01:54:39,880 Speaker 2: the other night. Eight days after being traded by the 2127 01:54:39,920 --> 01:54:43,240 Speaker 2: Detroit Tigers. He was in the All Star Game this year, 2128 01:54:43,440 --> 01:54:46,720 Speaker 2: obviously the only All Star to be traded. Throws a 2129 01:54:46,760 --> 01:54:51,720 Speaker 2: no hitter in his first appearance with the Phillies. Home appearance, 2130 01:54:52,760 --> 01:54:57,560 Speaker 2: Steve Busby, Mike Warren Walter Johnson joined by Michael Lorenzen, 2131 01:54:58,120 --> 01:55:01,480 Speaker 2: all four graduates of Fullerton High School to throw a 2132 01:55:01,480 --> 01:55:05,680 Speaker 2: no hitter from the same high school. Lorenzen also through 2133 01:55:05,720 --> 01:55:07,480 Speaker 2: a career high one hundred and twenty four pitches. I 2134 01:55:07,640 --> 01:55:09,160 Speaker 2: joked earlier in the show, it's a good thing David 2135 01:55:09,200 --> 01:55:11,200 Speaker 2: Roberts wasn't managing. He wouldn't have made it past the 2136 01:55:11,240 --> 01:55:14,160 Speaker 2: sixth inning. And that's not necessarily on Roberts. You know, 2137 01:55:14,160 --> 01:55:16,720 Speaker 2: it's the analytics guy, the really smart guy with the 2138 01:55:16,760 --> 01:55:19,080 Speaker 2: suspenders in bow tie, never wore a jock in in 2139 01:55:19,160 --> 01:55:22,320 Speaker 2: front of a computer. You got to come out now. Well, 2140 01:55:22,640 --> 01:55:25,400 Speaker 2: Lorenzen might not have been able to throw that. It's 2141 01:55:25,440 --> 01:55:28,320 Speaker 2: the highest pitch count of any pitcher this entire season. 2142 01:55:28,320 --> 01:55:30,600 Speaker 2: There's only ten players in the last five seasons that 2143 01:55:30,640 --> 01:55:32,640 Speaker 2: have thrown one hundred and twenty pitches. And he had 2144 01:55:32,680 --> 01:55:36,480 Speaker 2: to grind it. Walk five, check that, struck out five, 2145 01:55:36,640 --> 01:55:40,040 Speaker 2: walk four through one hundred and twenty four pitches. This 2146 01:55:40,120 --> 01:55:42,920 Speaker 2: is a guy who's had a very checkered eight years 2147 01:55:42,960 --> 01:55:45,400 Speaker 2: in the major leagues. He was very average last year. 2148 01:55:45,520 --> 01:55:47,520 Speaker 2: The era was four and a half and eighteen starts, 2149 01:55:48,040 --> 01:55:51,080 Speaker 2: but again he made the All Star team only to 2150 01:55:51,080 --> 01:55:54,240 Speaker 2: be traded. And oh, by the way, good news for 2151 01:55:54,400 --> 01:55:57,120 Speaker 2: Michae Lorenzen. He's a free agent. He's a free agent 2152 01:55:57,200 --> 01:56:00,560 Speaker 2: at the end of the year. All right, I'm back 2153 01:56:00,600 --> 01:56:03,360 Speaker 2: on these airwaves Saturday night, eleven PM. We'll have a 2154 01:56:03,440 --> 01:56:06,600 Speaker 2: ton of stuff for you as NFL preseason continues, and 2155 01:56:06,680 --> 01:56:09,040 Speaker 2: will preseason the NFL NFC East, and we're gonna get 2156 01:56:09,040 --> 01:56:12,000 Speaker 2: heavily into college football Saturday Night, as well as some 2157 01:56:12,040 --> 01:56:14,680 Speaker 2: great guests and more stories.
