They don't need them. I mean, 33 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: stue to your point. 34 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 4: If Kyle Tucker would have signed with the Mets, the 35 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 4: Yankees went back to the Cubs. Whoever, We're not talking 36 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 4: about it today. We're probably like, hey, you throw that 37 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 4: in a sports update on a podcast. But because he 38 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 4: signed with that team for that amount of money, it's 39 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 4: become it's become such a big story. 40 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 5: There is no reason to play the season right now 41 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 5: on paper. 42 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: Nope, the Dodgers. 43 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 5: The Dodgers won. The Dodgers won back to back World 44 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 5: Series titles. And how did they respond this offseason. They 45 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 5: signed the best player on the market, Kyle Tucker. Oh yeah, 46 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 5: and they got the best reliever in the market in 47 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 5: Edwin Diez. Somebody told Yankees general manager Brian Cashman, Hey, 48 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,119 Speaker 5: free agency started, Buddy three months ago. 49 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: You realize how funny this sounds coming from Yankee fancy. 50 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 5: You don't compare it, don't This is nowhere the two 51 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 5: things together, absolutely not. 52 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 4: They the Yankees win.

Like they took Alfonso Soriano, 59 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 4: who they home grew and they traded him for a Rod. 60 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 4: The Dodgers have nobody outside of like their catcher win 61 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 4: Bill Smith, who's probably gonna bat eighth in this freaking lineup, 62 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 4: who is homegrown. Everybody is purchased, and not only just purchase. 63 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 4: The Dodgers currently have two point eleven billion dollars of 64 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 4: guaranteed salary on their books, because the Yankees never had 65 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 4: anything near that. 66 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: Right, but they can if they want to.

I have two 134 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 2: guys here, Taylor and mikey A who are Yankee fans. Yeah, 135 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 2: and they are upset at the Dodgers because of Kyle Tucker, 136 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: and they want a work stoppage. And really what they 137 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 2: want to do is they want to get the Dodgers 138 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 2: out of Major League Baseball. 139 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: That's it. They want to lock out. What they want 140 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: to lock out is the Dodgers dog. 141 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 3: And I think there's a I know this is going 142 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 3: to help if you want to lock out, I would 143 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 3: think this would help that scenario. This obviously helps Manford 144 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,239 Speaker 3: because you can't have the Dodgers do. I mean, listen, 145 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 3: they make the playoffs every year. This has got a 146 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 3: lot to do with Otani, who gave him that incredible 147 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 3: contract with all the deferred money, which was a loophole 148 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 3: that they capitalized on which need to be corrected. I mean, 149 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 3: obviously they gave you know, Sasaki all the money. You 150 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 3: have a moto all the money. Uh, you know, they 151 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 3: gave Edmunds seventy five million dollars, which is ridiculous. Now 152 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,559 Speaker 3: they turn around and to give Dias all the money 153 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 3: and they give Tucker sixty million dollars a year. I mean, 154 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 3: it's a joke. 155 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: You know. 156 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 3: The great thing about the postseason in baseball, there's no 157 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 3: guarantee you gonna win in the postseason, unlike the other sports. 158 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 3: If we got the best players, so that baseball's postseason 159 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 3: kind of evens the playing field a little bit, but 160 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 3: there's no there's obviously a guarantee that the Dodgers are 161 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 3: being the postseason. So that makes the one hundred and 162 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 3: sixty two games in a lot of ways very very 163 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 3: Who cares. You know, if the Dodgers go ninety two 164 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 3: and seventy, it doesn't mean anything because the Dodgers were 165 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 3: getting in the postseason. Once you get into the postseason, 166 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 3: they have as players and you know they gave Blake 167 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 3: Smell all the money and it's a joke. And watch 168 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 3: them get Scoople next, who you know might be traded 169 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 3: from Detroit because of this salary scenario. So watch that 170 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 3: happen next. It's bad for the sport. I don't know 171 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 3: how Manford's gonna take care of this. H The baseball 172 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 3: free market, though the concept is great, it doesn't work 173 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 3: in sports. You know, you can't have because you got 174 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 3: to have each team have the equal amount of chance 175 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 3: of winning and have everything be directed to savvy front office, 176 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 3: play good drafting, overachieving with your players. You can't have 177 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 3: the revenue sources be a deciding factor. And Baseball, you know, 178 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 3: that's why you need a salary cap. And Baseball the 179 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 3: player Association tells you, well, why do we need a 180 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 3: salary cap. Well, here's there is the explanation. What's the 181 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 3: best sport in the land. Football is the nfl'll have 182 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 3: a salary cap. That's why you need to know. And 183 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 3: every year in football, six new teams make the playoffs. 184 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 3: Seattle made it, Carolina made it, Bears made it. Six 185 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 3: new teams make the playoffs every year, and six teams 186 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 3: who made the playoff year before, like Kansas City, the Ravens, 187 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 3: they don't make it. And there's a balance to it, 188 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 3: and you got every got some hope for everybody. Baseball 189 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 3: doesn't have that. I'm not just being a Pirate fan today, 190 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 3: or a Rockies fan today, or you know even a 191 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 3: padreser a Giants fan today. Sure, it's ridiculous, it's absurd. 192 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 3: I don't blame Tucker. I don't necessarily blame the Dodgers, 193 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 3: but did you know that last year, with their insurance costs, 194 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,719 Speaker 3: you know what the Dodgers payroll was five hundred and 195 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 3: twenty man dollars. 196 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: It's amazing. 197 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 3: How are the Pirates and the Reds and the Rays 198 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 3: and teams like that. Malins has no neck? How are 199 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 3: they supposed to keep up with that? They can't. 200 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: It's impossible now they can't, right dog. 201 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 5: Steve Gott says he models his career after you, but 202 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 5: in my opinion, in my opinion, pound for pound, you 203 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 5: are the best sports fan out there. When Kyle Tucker signs, 204 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 5: Steve Gott says, who's Kyle Tucker? 205 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 3: Did you say that he's not on my team? 206 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: What do care about it? 207 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 3: He absolutely said, you got a know who Kyle Tucker is. 208 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 2: Still, you know, I think he's a guy who's getting 209 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 2: paid too much money by the Dodgers to play baseball. 210 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,719 Speaker 1: That's what I think. I mean, why did you say 211 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: yesterday the Mets don't even need Kyle Talker, they have 212 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: a right fielder. 213 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 3: I mean, did you watch all the games last weekend? 214 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: Yes?

I'm your big me in his 240 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 3: stupid picks? What do you just pick the home teams 241 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 3: in the big favorites? How is that possible? For guide 242 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 3: doesn't know who the starting quarterback is in Arizona and 243 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 3: I still. 244 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: Lose with. 245 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 5: Berry Doug. I'm looking at I'm looking at the Yankees 246 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 5: free agency right now. They signed Trent Grisham because they 247 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 5: he called his bluff and accepted the qualifying offer. They 248 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 5: bring back Yarborough, they bring back Rosario. They signed Paul Blackburn. 249 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 5: This is George Steinbrenner's rolling in his grave right now 250 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 5: looking at this free agency for this Yankee. 251 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 3: Right, Well, somebody told me that would know that last 252 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 3: year is the first year that how lost money with 253 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 3: the Yankees. Uh now, whatever that might be, I don't know, 254 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 3: you know, you know, they certainly I don't know why 255 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 3: last year happened to be the year that that was 256 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 3: the case. They played too, they played four playoff, five 257 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 3: playoff games at home. I don't know the answered the 258 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 3: reasons for that. And you know, and he tried for Soto, 259 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 3: he lost out. They're not gonna give Bellinger seven years. 260 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 3: The Yankees do have very good pitching, you know, Cole Freed, 261 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 3: Cam Shittler, the kid who pitched great against the Red Sox. 262 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 3: You know, Rodon will be back, the Clark Schmid too. 263 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 3: They do have very good starting pitching. But you know, 264 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 3: I think they're gonna probably, you know, if the Mets 265 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 3: off for Bellinger seven years, they're gonna lose them because 266 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 3: the Yankees are not gonna get Bellinger seven years. 267 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 4: Now. 268 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 3: I think that Bellinger doesn't have a lot of places 269 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 3: to go, you know, it's either the Mets or the Yankees, 270 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 3: and he wants that seventh year. So maybe they will 271 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 3: bring Bellinger back. Uh but yeah, I mean, I understand 272 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 3: if you're a Yankee fan, you can't kill him for 273 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 3: not giving Bellinger seven years. Though Bellinger's not worth seven years. 274 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 3: I mean, come on, Bellinger seven years. You can't kill 275 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 3: him for that. You know, Devin Williams walk, you can't 276 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 3: go crazy. Uh, you know they let Luke Weaver walk. 277 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 3: You can't go crazy. You know. They they have not 278 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 3: been in play for anybody else. So you know, it's 279 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 3: not like they went out there and got a third basement. 280 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 3: They're gonna let the kid play McMahon from the Lackeys. 281 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 3: They didn't get another starting pitcher because they think calls 282 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 3: back and maybe, you know, maybe from a standpoint of 283 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 3: where they are, maybe the owner is a little gun 284 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 3: jai about spending too much money. Steinberner he wants to 285 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 3: have about a three hundred million dollar payroll. I think 286 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 3: last year he was a little north of that, which 287 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 3: gives the Yankees a little less flexibility. Can you kill 288 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 3: the Yankees of a three hundred million dollar payroll? That's 289 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 3: still a pretty damn good payroll to try to win. 290 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 4: Can't kill You could kill them if it's the wrong 291 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 4: three hundred million, And that seems to be what they're 292 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 4: doing well. 293 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 3: I mean you could a bad allotment of the three 294 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 3: hundred million that I agree, you can kill them on 295 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 3: that one hundred percent. 296 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 4: But Doug, what's what's more important right now? A salary 297 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 4: cap in baseball or a salary floor in baseball? 298 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: Good question? 299 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 3: Oh both, you need both. You need a floor where 300 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,559 Speaker 3: the Orleans and the Pirates have to spend a certain 301 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 3: amount of money one hundred and twenty five hundred and 302 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 3: fifty million. But unless you have a cap, you can't 303 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 3: make the teams at the bottom have a floor because 304 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 3: the team at the bottom, if you give them a floor, 305 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 3: they're gonna say, well, why would I spend one hundred 306 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 3: and twenty five million when the Dodgers is gonna send 307 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 3: eight hundred million. I'm still knocking my head against the wall. 308 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 3: So if you're going to give me a floor, I'll 309 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 3: accept that, but you got to put a ceiling at 310 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 3: the top end of it, so I know that I'm 311 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 3: narrowing the gap between what I can spend or what 312 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 3: I have to spend, and what they have to spend. 313 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 3: So if you tell me I got to spend one 314 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 3: twenty five, okay, one fifty, whatever that number might be, 315 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 3: I'll spend it. But you got to tell the Dodgers 316 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 3: they can't spend more than three and fifty four a 317 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 3: million dollars. You got to tell them that they can't 318 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 3: spend five hundred and fifty million dollars. No matter how 319 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 3: they figure out what the number might be. There's a 320 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 3: lot of different ways they do the calculations. But you 321 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 3: can't sit there and tell them that they can spend 322 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 3: eight hundred million, yet I have to spend one fifty. 323 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 3: I'm still there's too much of a gap. You got 324 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 3: to make sure that the gap is narrowed if I 325 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 3: accept the ceiling or if I accept the floor. And 326 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 3: I don't know how Baseball is going to do that 327 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 3: because that constitutes, in the union's mind, some sort of cap. 328 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 3: But the bottom line is Scott Boris runs the union. Okay, 329 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 3: it's not Tony Clark. It's time. He might gather, he 330 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 3: might gather the forces, but as far as the ideology 331 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 3: is concerned, it's Boris. Last year, at the last time, 332 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 3: when I had the lockout problem, there were you know what, 333 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 3: eight guys on the executive committee for the Player Association. 334 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 3: Six of them are Boris guys, Mac Shirs is making 335 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 3: phone calls to Boris at the tail end of one 336 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 3: of those meetings. Hey, am I on the right path here, Scott. 337 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 3: So it's and then, of course the rank and file 338 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 3: voted for the new labor agreement, while the executive committee 339 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 3: voted eight h against it. So Boris is the guy 340 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 3: who runs the union, so he's the big guy from 341 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 3: that stay. So we'll see how this develops. But this 342 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 3: is a major problem for the sport. A lot of 343 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 3: people think there's going to be a major arm ageddon 344 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 3: at the end of this coming baseball season. We shall see. 345 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: I am learning about this Kyle Tucker guy. 346 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, two hundred and forty million for 347 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 2: a guy who with twenty two homers at seventy three 348 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 2: or but the Dodgers could have him. 349 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: I mean, good, rid of it. 350 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 3: He is very good, but he never plays. He's hurt 351 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 3: a lot and that too. 352 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: Yes, I mean, there you got dog. 353 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 3: He doesn't play one hundred and fifty games. It's a mess, Stu, 354 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 3: it's a mess. 355 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: It is, Doggie. 356 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 2: Should Giant fans be concerned about the Horbor deal not 357 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 2: getting done? 358 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 3: I would be shocked. No, I would not be concerned. 359 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 3: You if you find out that the Giant fan all 360 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 3: of a sudden, if Harbaugh, you know, set up a 361 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 3: meeting with the Titans, if he showed up in Tennessee today, 362 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 3: or you know, if Arthur Blank ventured into Baltimore for 363 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 3: a big meeting at Harbor's house, then I would be concerned. Otherwise, 364 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 3: I think it must be paperwork. I would not be 365 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 3: and it's the right move. They had to do it. 366 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 3: I would not be too concerned by that at all. 367 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 2: What if he's still holding out hope and he's telling 368 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 2: his lawyers, hey, slow it down because we know this 369 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 2: happens in negotiations. Dog, Hey slow it down for a second, 370 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 2: because there might be a better offer. 371 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 1: What if he is holding. 372 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 2: Out hope that if the Bills lose, McDermott's still may 373 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 2: be fired here. 374 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 3: It's good thought. Yeah, I don't think that is the case. 375 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 3: First of if you're the Bills and you're Terry Pegula, 376 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 3: why would you want Harbaugh? Or the Bills always beat Harbaugh? Right, yeah, 377 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 3: I mean they beat him to you. They beat him 378 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 3: last year with that, with that Mark Andrews. They beat 379 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 3: him on opening Day when they blew the big lead. 380 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 3: They beat him in the COVID year. They beat Harbor 381 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 3: all the time. So if you're a Bills can hunter, 382 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 3: now we fired McDermott for the guy that we always 383 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 3: beat in the postseason, why would he do that? So 384 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 3: I don't think that's the case. Harball supposedly all counts 385 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 3: as a very good guy. They had a big dinner 386 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 3: on Wednesday night Jean Mara, who is fighting cancer. You know, 387 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,360 Speaker 3: they kind of helped seal the deal because all the meetings. 388 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 3: I would be shocked if Harball's not a Giant coach. 389 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 5: Okay, Doug, if if you just listened to Giants fans 390 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 5: in the past twenty four hours, you would think that 391 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 5: they were in the Super Bowl or they were winning 392 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 5: a Super Bowl. With how excited they already get Harball. 393 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 5: What do you think are realistic expectations for John Harball 394 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 5: in year one with the Giants. 395 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 3: Well, I think, listen, he's gonna give instant credibility, credibility 396 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 3: to the franchise. That's important. He's the boss, no, no, 397 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 3: no fooling around. That's number two. You know, he's got 398 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 3: one hundred and ninety three wins in the Super Bowl. 399 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 3: The Giant previous coaches. He's ad a lot of these 400 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 3: were assistants, stables and assistant. Joe Judge was an assistant, 401 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 3: Ben McAdoo was an assistant. Sherman didn't have a lot 402 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 3: of experience as a head coach, so that plays into 403 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 3: it too. Everybody knows that, you know, this is a 404 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 3: winning Is he a Hall of Fame coach? No, but 405 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 3: everybody knows he's a winning NFL head coach. Who's not 406 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 3: that old who's into it? You know, the Giant fan 407 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 3: is not going to look too deep. I don't blame 408 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 3: the Ravens for moving on. He was there for a 409 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 3: million years. I don't blame the Ravens for looking to 410 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 3: go in a different direction. I don't blame them at all. 411 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,919 Speaker 3: But that, to me is not an indication of Harball's 412 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 3: failing as a head coach. He'd do a good job 413 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 3: he got I don't know if he's a great coach, 414 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 3: but he'd do a good job and instant credibility, credibility 415 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 3: of the franchise. They have a good quarterback, they got 416 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 3: pieces on defense, they get himself a good offensive coordinator. 417 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 3: Maybe Monkin will come with him either. I don't know 418 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 3: if the Giant fans jumping up for Joy I mean, 419 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 3: while now we're gonna win Super Bowls. I might be 420 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 3: a little too strong, but the Giants improved in the 421 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 3: last few days with harb. 422 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 2: Yes, what do you make of all the talk with 423 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 2: Joe Shane? Because I would argue this dog that at 424 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 2: least for the teams that had an available head coaching vacancy, 425 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 2: at least Joe Shane put together a roster that John 426 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 2: Horbaugh found attracted. 427 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: You know. 428 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think Shane, you know, be interesting. 429 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 3: I think the question with Shane is simply going to 430 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 3: be is he going to be able to live with 431 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 3: the idea that now Harbaugh is the boss of the franchise, 432 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 3: it's not Shane. If Harball wants something done and Shane 433 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 3: doesn't like it, tough Harbaugh. I don't know how involved 434 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 3: they get with the draft room, but if Harbaugh wants 435 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 3: a certain player, you know, I mean, maybe he allows 436 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 3: Shane to make that pitch. But you know it's gonna 437 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 3: be Harball's corps call more so than Shane, at least 438 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 3: on the public's gonna think that they gave Hi, They're 439 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 3: gonna give a hundred million dollars. Yes, I mean, Shane's 440 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 3: on you know, you know, he's beleaguered. So I mean, 441 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 3: everybody's gonna think that it's Harbaugh's call on everything involved 442 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 3: with the Giants free agency, drafting, coaching staff, and that 443 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 3: usually in Giant way has been a GM's responsibility because 444 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 3: the Giants have always gone GM coach George Young. Coach 445 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 3: George makes certain decisions earlier. Of course he made certain decisions. 446 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 3: Now it seems like the coach is going to make 447 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 3: all those decisions. So that would make you think that 448 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 3: Shane doesn't have as much authority, but he wants a job. 449 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 3: I think the Giants think the shine with Dart and 450 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 3: with our dual call. You know, has made some good moves. 451 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 3: Neighbors Scataboo, Carter Burns free agency, that he doesn't deserve 452 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 3: to be fired, and he's put a structure together with 453 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 3: young players, and Harball is gonna need some assistance, so 454 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 3: they must have gotten along pretty well. Shane knows where 455 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 3: his planner is, buttered. He will acquiesce to what Harball 456 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 3: has to do. I don't think you have to worry 457 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 3: about that relationship. And if you don't have to worry 458 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 3: about it, Shane's out the door. Because Shane's not gonna 459 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 3: supersede Harball right now. 460 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 2: Right dog Bill's forty nine ers, Texans Rams the team 461 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 2: that you would be least shocked. Those are the road 462 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,159 Speaker 2: teams this weekend, in the round to the playoffs. You 463 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 2: would be the least shocked if the Rams win. 464 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 3: They Yeah, I think the Rams are gonna win. I 465 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 3: would be. I wouldn't be shocked in any of them. 466 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 3: I guess you could say San Francisco, you'd be a 467 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 3: little surprised. I do think Seattle having to beat them 468 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 3: twice in ten days when they played a perfect game 469 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 3: ten days ago, is a little worrisome if I was 470 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 3: a Seahawk fan. Plus Donald makes you nervous, so I 471 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 3: would be a little concerned by that, but I would be. 472 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 3: I guess you gotta say you'd be moderately surprised if 473 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 3: the Niners beat Seattle. Buffalo, Josh Allen, you can't feel 474 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 3: that way Houston's defense, so you'd be moderately surprised about 475 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 3: the Niners. 476 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,199 Speaker 2: It seems like no one is respecting the Broncos the 477 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 2: one seat in the AFC because everyone feels like and listen, 478 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 2: I do it too. 479 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 1: It's Josh Allen bow knicks. I'll take Josh Allen. 480 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 3: That's what it comes down to. And the s Freens 481 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,239 Speaker 3: boat and Denver's played a lot of close games and 482 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 3: Denver's been bailed out by you know, a lot of 483 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 3: late even go look at all the games they've played 484 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 3: this year. The Giant game is a good example, the 485 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 3: Kansas City game on Christmas, who were out of it. 486 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 3: They barely won that game. You know, they have been 487 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 3: Houston late in the year. I mean they have been very, 488 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 3: very fortunate in like a lot of one score games. 489 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 3: And in a one score game, you take the quarterback, 490 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 3: and this quarterback is better than their quarterback. So that's 491 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 3: why Allen would be the guy. 492 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: So you like the Rams straight up? Huh? 493 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 3: I do? I like the Stairs have been lucky. I 494 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 3: like the Rams now the cold weather words are a 495 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 3: little bit, but I do like the Rams. And the 496 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 3: Rams will do to play a little better. They did 497 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 3: not play well last week at ally. 498 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 2: Yes, but you're saying with the Bears, it's impossible to 499 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 2: keep winning games the way they've. 500 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,199 Speaker 3: Been with they're gonna lose a game like this. You 501 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 3: can't really on the fourth quarter solely to win these games. 502 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 2: Yes, Taylor has this as his top three sports weekend 503 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 2: of the year, do you. 504 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very very good because you got four great games. Yes, 505 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 3: last week it turned out to be good too. In 506 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 3: a wildcard weekend usually isn't that great. I will put 507 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 3: a baseball weekend in there when you have playoffs and 508 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 3: you got four games Saturday, and you won't. 509 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: But I will now. 510 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 2: But Doggie, I love the Sundays when you play the 511 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 2: one o'clock games.

You know, 516 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 3: you can't put the NBA regularly in the postseason early 517 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 3: because the games, you know, these are bad teams, and 518 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 3: the late aspect of it. You don't have to double 519 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 3: headers because there's only four or five teams that can 520 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 3: win a championship anyway. But I think Taylor is one 521 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 3: hundred percent right. This is a great You got four 522 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 3: great games.

Keep 529 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 3: that in mind. 530 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 1: Too, I'll start watching that thing. It's mid March.

But the intensity of the games and everybody's 537 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 3: into it. Yeah, for great games. That's twelve hours of football. 538 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 3: You got twelve hours of great stuff. 539 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: Yes, no doubt. 540 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 5: I consider myself a great sports fan. 541 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: Dog. 542 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 5: I'm watching almost everything, and I feel like what I'm 543 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 5: looking at right now is a road that splits off 544 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 5: into two ways and one path. I could either go 545 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 5: down Steve Gott's path, where I was a big sports 546 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 5: fan and I die down, or the second path, where 547 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 5: I'm you and I'm ramped up for every little sporting event, 548 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,120 Speaker 5: And that's the path I want, Dog. 549 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 3: But that's a good path. I bet you with that 550 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 3: path too. But that is the path. That is the 551 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 3: path you want to go. You don't want to go 552 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 3: Stu Gott's path where he's got to sit there and 553 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 3: pretend he's into sports. I didn't realize this about this 554 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker thing. I'm concerned. You gotta be into it.
