9
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 2: and Baldi says when he played that July four was

10
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: his moment he circled because after that it started to

11
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 2: get real. So now we are fifty four days from

Speaker 2: heard Steve shake cow Rowley thirty eight home runs Like

17
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 2: this is a staggering number. We're gonna get to that.

18
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 2: He had the summer league. Lots to geek out over,

19
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,080

00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 4: he's yanked things off of walls, he's putting everything into

24
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,120

25
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,000

28
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it really is. He's fascinated by everything.

29
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 3: You know.

30
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 4: You put him by a light switch. He turns it

31
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 4: on and turns it off and sees a light going

32
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 4: and off, and he could that occupies him for twenty

33
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,919
Speaker 4: straight minutes. It really is amazing. Everything is new, everything

34
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 4: is novel. It's really fun to see him kind of

35
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 4: experience and learn about the world. It's been it's been

36
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 4: a great experience for me.

37
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

38
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: And that's the thing, like you you go through these

39
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: stages yourself, especially with your first right, Yeah, Like you're

40
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 2: fascinated by him being fascinated exactly by the light switch

41
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 2: because I don't know, like the first time you ever

42
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 2: dealt with with a baby, right, and you see the

43
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: stages of life and it's uh and he's yours and

44
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: it's it's awesome, man. So yeah, I mean every one

45
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: of these stages you live through. I mean, you know,

46
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: minor are eleven and or twelve now and fifteen, and

47
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: you know, their voices like my little one's voice changing.

48
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: They're both like, you know, they're about ones taller than

49
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: me and the other one's about to be taller at

50
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: oh man, you know, and I wish they were like

51
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: you're you're your little guy's age, you know, I mean,

52
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: that's kind of what happens.

53
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 4: There's a part of you that wants them to stay

54
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 4: like one and a half forever. You know, yes, exactly.

55
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 4: I'll certainly understand what people mean when they say that.

56
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the truth. But it's all beautiful. Every stage

57
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: is great.

58
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 3: So but brother, great to have you.

59
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 4: Let's be back.

60
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: I know, mans, today's my ass.

61
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 4: What are you talking about? There's plenty going on.

62
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 2: Let's no, I know, let's start with baseball, right because

63
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: you and I both love baseball, and I don't know,

64
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: I think this season is interesting. I know people, you know,

65
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: they kind of check out and the whole thing, but

66
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: this has been a really interesting year. We thought the

67
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: Dodgers would run away with it. Dodgers are good, but

68
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: they stole some issues. And meanwhile, I started, I said

69
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: this at the top of cal Rally, cause thirty eight

70
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: home runs DAC numbers is staggering number.

71
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 4: Just behind Barry Bonds when he had he had his

72
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 4: record breaking seventy three home run season. Like, that's how

73
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 4: historic this is. And look, we're beyond the steroid era.

74
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 4: I don't want to put any you know, speculation on

75
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 4: cal Rally or anything other than to say this is

76
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 4: just a historic, amazing run by someone who's been a

77
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 4: good player. But I think his career high in home

78
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 4: runs was thirty four a couple of years ago, and

79
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 4: he's already sur passed that. At the All Star break,

80
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 4: something like this is really cool for people nationwide to

81
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 4: be able to pick on to pick up on. And

82
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 4: it's not shoeyel Tani, it's not Aaron Judge, it's not

83
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 4: Bryce Harper. It's someone that no one has heard of.

84
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,559
Speaker 4: And I think this is actually good for the sport

85
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 4: of Major League Baseball that someone can kind of rise

86
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 4: out of obscurity and become sort of a nationwide you know,

87
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 4: darling to a certain.

88
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 3: Degree, I know, I agree. I think you're you're spot on.

89
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: I think it's it's better and I hope it gets

90
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 2: the attention right.

91
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 3: But my biggest fear.

92
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: Is is I don't know that we pay attention to

93
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: day to day happenings, right, So, and then there's the

94
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: baseball thing, and then there's the he's in Seattle thing,

95
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: right like.

96
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the big when he's in Seattle, and they're

97
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 4: not necessarily if he was if he was in Detroit

98
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 4: and Detroit had the best record in baseball, I think

99
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 4: it might mean a little bit more. It hit a

100
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 4: little bit harder, but you're playing, you're tucked up there

101
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 4: in Seattle, you're six games out of the division lead,

102
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 4: and you're not gonna win the AO West the way

103
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 4: Houston's plan right now. So I think a lot of

104
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 4: that gets lost. So unless he goes on. This happened

105
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 4: with Maguire and Solsa. Neither the Cardinals or the Cubs

106
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 4: were good, but because you had two guys going after

107
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 4: it and back and forth on a day to day basis,

108
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 4: it was a little bit different. Here's one guy who's clearly,

109
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 4: you know, running away with it at this point in

110
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 4: time from everybody else, and he's playing for an average team,

111
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 4: so I think that he has that working against them.

112
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you're right, and the other things sounds weird,

113
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 2: but the number, like seventy three is ridiculous, right, but

114
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 2: it didn't have it's weird even though it's greater than

115
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: sixty one.

116
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 3: There was the number for all those years, right.

117
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: And then the other aspect is, like you mentioned it,

118
00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 2: I covered the sociald MacGuire thing and that the whole

119
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 2: steroid thing kind of soured people on the home run race,

120
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: Like does it still matter? It should, Like seventy three

121
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 2: is a crazy number, and the fact that he's got

122
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 2: thirty eight.

123
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 3: Is is sick.

124
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's not like Seattle, some some easy

125
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: home run park either, Yeah.

126
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 4: Quite the opposite. Actually, right, historically has been one of

127
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 4: the hardest places they hit home runs exactly, So I well,

128
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 4: what hurts or I guess what helps rally? And I

129
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 4: highly doubt he's gonna hit seventy three obviously, but we

130
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 4: seem to be now that you know, steroids are sort

131
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 4: of out of the game at this point, and there's

132
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 4: a rigorous drug testing program and there's a handful of

133
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 4: guys every year who are getting twenty five thirty sixty

134
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 4: game suspensions. You don't think that that's much of an issue.

135
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 4: So we're led to believe at this point in time

136
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 4: that anything that happens is totally legit, which makes this

137
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 4: even more impressive because again, Kyle Rally has been a

138
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 4: solid player and is what four or five year career

139
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 4: at this point in time, thirty home runs here and there,

140
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 4: But it's not like he's been a perennial, you know,

141
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 4: forty five fifty home run hitter, because if that were

142
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 4: the case, you would be like, all right, it'd be

143
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 4: a little bit more understandable. He's a great home run

144
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 4: hitter and he's off to a hot start. Maybe he

145
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 4: can do something. This has literally come out of nowhere

146
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 4: and to your point, and a pitcher's ballpark makes it

147
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 4: even more amazing.

148
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 3: I know, now thirty eight like that.

149
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 2: I think about that number, and the thing with him

150
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 2: is he hits him in bunches. Yeah, he has a

151
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: lot of multi home run games AD one last night, right,

152
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: and who thinks, because that's when like that Schoobol pitches.

153
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 4: Exactly if all players tak to get it off of

154
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 4: his tark Schooble one of the best player players in

155
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 4: all of baseball. That makes it even more impressive.

156
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 2: So I look at him and I go man, this

157
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: is an amazing story. The issue that forgive me, the

158
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 2: issue that he's going to have, you know, just chasing

159
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: down the big big numbers.

160
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 3: Is Bonds and it's all three of them, Sosi Maguire.

161
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: And again I covered it right like I went wherever

162
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: Sammy when I was working New York, I drew the

163
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: Sami so Sa beat. So wherever Sammy went, I went,

164
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 2: And you know, it was a big deal, right. And

165
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 2: then I'll never forget that weekend at Saint Louis where

166
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 2: they square it off twice. They squared off one series Wrigley,

167
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 2: another one in Saint Louis, and it was like the

168
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: center of the world.

169
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 3: Man, everybody was there. It was awesome.

170
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: But the fact that they were doing that, the take

171
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 2: of the HCAs and the supplements, helped them help their grind,

172
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: Like they didn't lose any power right right, Like like

173
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 2: baseball with steroids talking to make you hit, you know,

174
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: juice and up is not going to make you hit

175
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 2: seventy three home runs.

176
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 3: You have to have an amazing gift that Barry Bonds.

177
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 2: Has for sure, which is you know, a ridiculous uh

178
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: view of the strike zone, you know, amazing bad speed,

179
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 2: the whole night. But what it does do, and it

180
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 2: did it for McGuire so and Bonds, is it'll it'll

181
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 2: keep you strong and you're not gonna lag, right. It

182
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 2: gives your stamina, yes, and that's what you know, that's

183
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: what ultimately you know, you see these big spikes and

184
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 2: guys have big halves, right, especially big first halves, and

185
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 2: then the numbers dwindle a lot because it's just impossible

186
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: to sustain.

187
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, it really is. And that's what makes again what

188
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 4: to keep going back to rally, what makes this even

189
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 4: more impressive?

190
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 5: Uh.

191
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 4: And by the way, for people that criticize you know,

192
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 4: McGuire and Sosa like and we certainly can do that.

193
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 4: The problem I have with it is people act like

194
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 4: they were the only ones who are doing it. There

195
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 4: are so many pitchers who are on the juice too,

196
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 4: you know. So I mean at that point in time

197
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 4: you say, like, well it was a playing field level.

198
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 4: There are certain players I'm sure who weren't, but there

199
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 4: are a lot of them who are at a certain

200
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 4: point in time. So to hold it against Bonds, McGuire, Solsa,

201
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 4: you have to also talk about a lot of players

202
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 4: who none of us never have and never will know

203
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 4: of who are juicing to. I guess lost a lot

204
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 4: of times in talking about.

205
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 2: This without a doubt, and I still didn't even know.

206
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 2: I honestly, I don't even know how I feel about

207
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 2: the whole thing. I remember during the time, I mean,

208
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: it was pretty speculative, right that they were doing something.

209
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 4: Man, he kind of thought you had an assumption, but

210
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 4: no one really knew anything, so you couldn't really say anything.

211
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 4: You didn't want to slander anybody, you know, right, And

212
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 4: I remember I was.

213
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: I was actually at McGuire's locker the day the reporter

214
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 2: from Detroit. I don't know if you heard the story.

215
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: So we're all around, we're getting ready to wait. We're

216
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 2: waiting for McGuire to come out of the shower to

217
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 2: talk to him. And in his locker is the HGH, right,

218
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 2: and you know, people are and this is before camera phones,

219
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: but there was photogs and you know, you get a

220
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 2: picture of the HGH, and the one reporter from Detroit

221
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 2: went in his locker and picked it up. I was

222
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 2: looking at the bottle, and you know, right away, like

223
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 2: maguire comes out and he's like, yo, what are you

224
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: doing on my locker? And He's like, well, what's this

225
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: and you know, the whole nine and you know, McGuire

226
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 2: got pissed and it was like a thing. And that

227
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: guy was like a veteran, really great calmnist in Detroit

228
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 2: for a long number of years and a veterable journalists.

229
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 3: But you know, I mean, you know, is in the supplement, Like,

230
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 3: what are you doing?

231
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: Is it? You know, we're by the way, when we're

232
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 2: talking about steroids, what is lasik?

233
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 3: You know?

234
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 2: I I uh, lasa guy.

235
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 4: But people were actually questioning whether or not that's a

236
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 4: quote unquote performance and answer in the same line as

237
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 4: steroids or hgh. I had hurt that argument.

238
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 3: No, no, they weren't. But my point was.

239
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 2: My point is like you're gonna have science play a

240
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 2: part of things, right, you know. And I get like,

241
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: you know, won't talk the term health, you didn't know

242
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 2: and and everything else. But my only point in bringing

243
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 2: it up is I never I never vilified them the

244
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 2: way I think others did.

245
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 3: I don't know.

246
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: I because back in the day, they're taking greenies, right,

247
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 2: They're they're all hopped up on speed like they needed

248
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 2: something to get through the long haul.

249
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 3: I remember, you know, the stories of the clubhouse.

250
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 2: And there were two you know when you walk into

251
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 2: back in the day, you went to these clubhouses and.

252
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 3: You were you were in their domain.

253
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 2: And there was two coffee pots on one end of

254
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: the of this clubhouse. And and they called it letting

255
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 2: it unleaded. One was caffeine and the other one was enhanced.

256
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 2: Would speak with some short of the amphetamines. Really, okay, yes,

257
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 2: that was lending and unletding was it wasn't It wasn't

258
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 2: the decaf all right, decap was regular coffee. Right, But

259
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 2: that but you know, I mean, guys, you needed that

260
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 2: stuff to get them through a long season.

261
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 3: I mean that's I mean the truth for the matter.

262
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 3: I mean that's yeah.

263
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 4: And this look, it was prevalent in football too, And

264
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 4: now I guess it's easier or to quantify or speculatively

265
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 4: quantify in baseball because you see guys you know who

266
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 4: were hitting, you know, thirty five home runs all of

267
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 4: a sudden start hitting sixty. You're like, oh my god,

268
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 4: what happened. But guys, the NFL would do it too,

269
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 4: and a lot of those players would tell you that

270
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 4: they did it back in the day for health purposes,

271
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 4: for stamming the purposes, they can recover better, so they

272
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 4: can work out more.

273
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 6: Right.

274
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 4: So it was prevalent in professional sports for a long

275
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 4: period of time, but Baseball, for whatever reason, is the

276
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 4: one that got singled out. I think a big reason

277
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 4: is because people believed that the commissioner he wasn't complicit.

278
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 4: I wouldn't go that far for Bud Sealy, but the

279
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 4: idea that he had pretty well knowledge of what was

280
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 4: going on. But because baseball was struggling and coming out

281
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 4: for the strike season in ninety four to ninety five,

282
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 4: ratings had dropped, and because Sosa maguire kind of captivated everybody,

283
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 4: he wanted to ride that wave, yeah, and make baseball

284
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 4: popular again. So which maybe it was questionable. But if

285
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 4: I were in his position, I'll be honest with you,

286
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 4: I might have done the same thing. Because his responsibility

287
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 4: was to the owners and to the sport itself to

288
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 4: begin to get it as popular as possible. So I

289
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 4: certainly understand if that is the case, while someone in

290
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 4: his position would do that.

291
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, And do I think he was complicit? Yeah, I

292
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: think your word was right. I think he knew about it.

293
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 2: I think everybody knew about it. It was the unspoken yeah,

294
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: kind of thing. I remember talking to guys you know,

295
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 2: off the rocker, like joking around, yeah about the impact

296
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 2: of it, and you know, yeah whatever, and it just

297
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: was part of that culture. Nowadays it's so sophisticated, right,

298
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 2: and the science is there, right, Like, just as you

299
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: make medical advancements when it comes to knees and ac acls.

300
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 4: And chilies, which used to be sea career enders, now

301
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 4: guys are coming back, you know, twelve fourteen months later.

302
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 3: All right, arms, shoulder time, John, everything else.

303
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 2: Like, you make these advancement and you make the advancement

304
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 2: in every which way, right, so all kinds of health

305
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 2: and you know, anti aging and and all that stuff.

306
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: So you know, it's kind of blurred a bit. I

307
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 2: don't know, it's a shame. But the minute, you know,

308
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 2: we have this conversation about thirty eight home runs the

309
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 2: All Star Break, people will will bring that back up.

310
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the first thing that happens. Well, especially since

311
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 4: we really haven't seen anything close to this outside of

312
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 4: Aaron Judge and I don't remember exactly how many he

313
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 4: had at the All Star Break. I don't know if Brie,

314
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 4: if you have a second, if you can look that up,

315
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 4: that year he had sixty two a couple of years ago.

316
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 4: I'm not sure how many had at the break But

317
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 4: you just don't see this on a regular basis like

318
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 4: you saw back then. I mean, back then, you had

319
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 4: six hole hitters who were hitting you know, forty eight

320
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 4: home runs like it was nothing. You know, two thousands.

321
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 3: Who's at thirty four?

322
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, we had thirty four at their breakday year. Okay,

323
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 4: so that's just not super common. Like I know, Otani

324
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 4: right now has thirty thirty two, Judge, I think right

325
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 4: now has what thirty three or thirty four again, but

326
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 4: you don't see the rash of hitters you know today

327
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 4: like you saw twenty years ago, where it just was

328
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 4: it was next to nothing for guys to hit, you know,

329
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 4: between thirty and fifty home runs on a given season,

330
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 4: whether they were a star player or not. You had

331
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 4: guys who were hitting fifty home runs weren't even all stars.

332
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, I mean, you know, you're spot on. You're

333
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 3: spot on.

334
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 2: And you're right about the pictures too, because there were

335
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 2: a ton of guys doing it that were pictures and

336
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 2: it was the same thing. But get back to your

337
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 2: point about the staggering number thirty eight is a monster,

338
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 2: the second most in the history of the game, behind.

339
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 4: The Bonds, behind Bonds from the year that he hit

340
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 4: seventy three. Yeah, that's how remarkable this is. I know,

341
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 4: it's pretty cool.

342
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 2: So you're My ultimate question to you is, do you

343
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 2: think we go on the col rally?

344
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 3: Watch?

345
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 2: Does col rally in an age now where I mean

346
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 2: everybody is a celebrity?

347
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, like he has to pop?

348
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 4: No, Uh, he only pops if he actually has a

349
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 4: legitimate chance of chasing down you know, Bonds' record or

350
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 4: hitting sixty or something like that, which I don't know

351
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 4: if that's realistic or not. I guess there's no reason

352
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 4: to believe that he can't keep it going. The interesting

353
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 4: thing is he is going to be in the Home

354
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 4: Run Derby next week, and we've seen that tank a

355
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 4: lot of guys halves. So I'm interested to see how

356
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 4: he comes out of the All Star Game and out

357
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 4: of the Home Run Derby and if he continues to

358
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 4: tear that he's on. But it would be pretty remarkable

359
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 4: because it's kind of like the Mark Gastenell, Like holding

360
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 4: the sack record to a certain degree is like who's

361
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 4: was a good player, but no, by no means some superstar,

362
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 4: Hall of Famer or anything. Will be insane. If someone

363
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 4: like Kyle Riley would just have the season for the

364
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 4: Ages and hit seventy two, seventy three, seventy four home

365
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 4: runs and then he's never heard from again, you know,

366
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 4: it will be I think it will be a pretty

367
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 4: cool story if that were to happen. I don't think

368
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 4: it's likely, but I think it will be pretty sweet

369
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 4: to witness.

370
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 3: I know, I'm with you.

371
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 2: I'm just looking at the Mariners schedule, yeah, and just

372
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 2: some of their teaset are at the Age.

373
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 3: I'm looking for the road ballparks, right right.

374
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 4: So the Angels is it go one definitely a hitters park, yep.

375
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 2: Right, and then they're at the A's. That's a good one,

376
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 2: that's for sure, you know, so that's big. Then you're

377
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 2: in August in August, let's look at the parks in

378
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 2: August road games Baltimore is a great one.

379
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 4: Yep, ball jumps off the bat there.

380
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 2: City Field, Citizens Bank Park, that's a great home run place.

381
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 3: So you got so far, so good. Cleveland not so much.

382
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 2: And in September their Roads.

383
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 3: Series Tampest Tea. That's a good one. Atlanta is a

384
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 3: good one.

385
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 4: Kansas City in September probably still a little little humid.

386
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, Houston's always decent. Ball goes in Houston. That's it.

387
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's so. That's their road games for sure.

388
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 3: So that's not bad for him, That's that's no.

389
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,719
Speaker 4: He definitely Again, I don't think he has a legitimate

390
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 4: chot at seventy three. Now, granted I didn't think I would.

391
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 4: If you would ask me before the season started whether

392
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 4: he had a legitimate a shot at thirty eight at

393
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 4: the All Star break, I'd say you were insane. So

394
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 4: I guess anything can happen. But it's just really really difficult,

395
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 4: difficult to conceive that somebody, especially someone who's come out

396
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 4: of nowhere, would do something like this and be able

397
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 4: to be on basically Bond's watch as we start the

398
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 4: second half of the season. For cal Rally, if it

399
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 4: was Otani, if it was Aaron Judge, right, sure, you.

400
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 3: Know, definitely definitely. So I leave you with this, We're

401

Speaker 3: gonna take quick to you. I leave you with this.

402
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 2: Question, which is in a world where Bronnie James is

Speaker 2: a headlined what does that say about baseball that we're

404
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,879

427
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 4: We're talking about Kyle Riley in the first segment with

428
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 4: his amazing start to the Major League Baseball regular season

429
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 4: with thirty eight home runs at the All Star break,

430
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 4: just one fewer than Barry Bonds when he hit seventy

431
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 4: three in his record breaking season of two thousand and one.

432
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 4: And before we went to the break, Anthony hit me

433
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 4: with a question about Bronnie James, who is at best

434
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 4: the eleven, twelve, thirteenth, fourteenth, whatever you want to call it,

435
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 4: player on the Laker roster, and how much hype he's

436
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 4: getting above a guy like Kyle Riley in Major League

437
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 4: Baseball who's literally making history right now. And what that

438
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 4: says just about the sports landscape at the moment in

439
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 4: time that we are in. And look, we know that

440
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 4: baseball has been playing catchup for a number of years.

441
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 4: We know that the NFL is king followed by college football.

442
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 4: In the NBA, I would say, especially in the social

443
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 4: media world, the NBA is tops. I think it even

444
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 4: beats the NFL in college football when it comes to that.

445
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 4: A lot of kids, you know, in this highlight society

446
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 4: that we're in right now, the tiktak generation, and Anthony,

447
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 4: you asked me the question about Brinnie James and the

448
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 4: popularity of the NBA versus Major League Baseball. Right now,

449
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 4: I think a lot of kids and you have kids

450
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 4: like right now who are eleven and thirteen, eleven and twelve,

451
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,719
Speaker 4: eleven and thirteen, twelve and fifteen. So they're part of

452
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 4: this snapchat TikTok generation, you know, basically the microwave generation. Highlights,

453
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 4: highlight highlights, hard to sit and watch an entire game.

454
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 4: What is their outlook when it comes to the NBA?

455
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 4: Are the Are they guys who log onto YouTube and

456
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 4: log onto TikTok and watch a bunch of highlights and

457
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 4: don't consume actual sports from a full three hour you know,

458
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 4: for a full three hour broadcast at this point in time,

459
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 4: because that a lot of the generation is consumed.

460
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 3: Actually what it is now. My little one is a

461
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 3: sports head.

462
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, my older one is his video games right like, okay,

463
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 2: except for the NFL. Like he'll watch football and that's

464
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: really kind of it. Like he'll watch, you know, it's

465
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 2: a big game, you know whatever, But he's not the

466
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 2: little one to sports heat like the little one is.

467
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 2: You know, we'll talk about everything going on, but he

468
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 2: consumes it. It's the weirdest thing in the world. I'll

469
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 2: say to them, dude, what will watch the game? It

470
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 2: could be any I mean name every sport, right, could

471
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,959
Speaker 2: be any sport. And he'll be like, yeah, yeah, I'll

472
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 2: be dawn and then he'll ghost me right And the

473
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 2: next thing you know, he'll go, yo, dude, how about

474
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 2: that shot or how about that play. I'm like, how'd

475
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 2: you watch? Like? And they watch it weirdly in these

476
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: little highlight snippets. Right, It's it's bizarre, but he knows

477
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,959
Speaker 2: what's going on, and it's weird. But he doesn't really

478
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 2: even football. Like the big one will watch the games.

479
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 2: The little one gets he doesn't have the attention span

480
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 2: to watch the games, right.

481
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 4: Uh. And that's just how it is. That there's so

482
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 4: many things being thrown at them all at once. So

483
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 4: it's the attention span is extremely short. It's as short

484
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 4: as it's ever been in human history at this point

485
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 4: in time because of the technology that we have right now.

486
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 4: And so kids just can't sit there and I mean

487
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 4: they can, but they just don't sit there and consume

488
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 4: games the way that we do. And so the most highlightable,

489
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 4: if that's a word sport I believe at least is

490
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 4: the NBA. So you can sit there and look at

491
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 4: Cooper Flag versus Bronnie and say, oh, BRINNI hit a

492
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 4: couple of shots and look how we beat up Cooper Flag.

493
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 4: And that's all you need to see. Now, forget the

494
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 4: fact that Bronni missed his next seven or eight shots

495
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 4: after that and didn't look that great afterwards, said, man,

496
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 4: did you see how Bronnie muscled up Cooper Flag in

497
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 4: the post? And that's what people will run with. So

498
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 4: those are things that get lost. I think too with

499
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 4: the generation Anthony is the fact that when you get

500
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 4: wrapped up in highlights, you kind of end up losing

501
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 4: the story of the game and what exactly is going

502
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 4: on in the sport as opposed to just watching the highlights.

503
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 4: And I think that's a part of it. That's that's

504
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 4: a big issue.

505
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 2: Ah, totally right, Fake, I think you're a spot on. Yeah,

506
00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 2: it's weird, Mabe. He doesn't like he'll sit there and

507
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 2: like he knows stuff and it'll surprise me how much

508
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 2: he knows.

509
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 3: But you know, I just can't get I'm like, dude,

510
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 3: with me where you.

511
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 2: Want, I'll get ice cream or you want to not

512
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 2: you whatever you want, but man a little on baseball,

513
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 2: and to your point, basketball is the most highlight friendly sport,

514
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 2: right like baseball, Like imagine these kids sitting through a

515
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 2: game like you have to, like you got That's why

516
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 2: MLB smart, right, And they're trying to do stuff with

517
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 2: the show and like make it as interactive as possible.

518
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 3: Right.

519
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 4: Well, the pitch clock I think saved a lot, and

520
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 4: the younger demographic from a TV rating standpoint, has gone

521
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 4: through the roof since last season. Imagine your kids trying

522
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 4: to watch the Red Socks and Yankees in two thousand

523
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 4: and three now four and a half hour games. Yeah,

524
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 4: there's no way.

525
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 3: No, there's no way, you know, way, no, that's the truth.

526
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 2: But okay, so we know the NBA has it obviously

527
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 2: a higher degree popularity, but like we're talking summer League

528
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 2: Bronni James, and we'll do respect it to Lebron James Junior.

529
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 3: You know, he's not a headliner.

530
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 4: I mean I don't think it's you know, it's being mean,

531
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 4: far from a headliner, right, Like he's not like Cooper

532
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 4: Flag is the headline and that's it. Yeah, he was

533
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 4: the marquee, right, I mean, you know, come on, lebron

534
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 4: James Junior. I mean, it's ridiculous, but but that, But

535
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 4: that's weird because the the NBA, it's so desperate to

536
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 4: bring out the individual, you know. Yeah, well that's how

537
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 4: their bread has been buttered. Though. I mean when they

538
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 4: exploded onto the scene and David Stern started to highlight

539
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 4: the first time the NBA was on NBC. Instead of

540
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 4: the Bulls versus the Lakers, it was Michael Jordan versus

541
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 4: Maggic Johnson. They started that and that kind of they

542
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 4: they basically felt it helped them, and it did. They

543
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 4: were right. They propelled the league for it. When they

544
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 4: started highlighting the superstars versus instead of the teams. It

545
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 4: was very smart on their part.

546
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, Larry versus Magic was was it? And I have

547
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 2: no problem with it. Just don't put Bronni Yeah, that's ghost.

548
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 4: I had an issue with that. Now, I will say

549
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 4: there were a sect of fans and I was not

550
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 4: in Vegas at the Summer League game. I did watch

551
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 4: the game. There certainly were a number of Laker fans

552
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 4: and there were people there worrying Bronnie Jerseys. So for

553
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 4: whatever reason. He's one of those guys that just has

554
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 4: a ground swell of support from people despite the fact

555
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 4: of his lack of production. And so that's the part

556
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 4: that I don't fully understand. It's almost like a cult

557
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 4: like following for him. And that's the part that I

558
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 4: don't necessarily get.

559
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 2: I mean, it's your father, it's father, right, So yeah,

560
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 2: and because everybody says he can't like because he's not good,

561
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,959
Speaker 2: everybody's christ nepotism or whatever you want to call it.

562
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 2: Then you have the backlash and the other people going,

563
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 2: we're gonna, we're gonna come to his defense. It's the weirdest,

564
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 2: Like our culture is so bizarre because you have to

565
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 2: have the other side of everything, and right, usually the

566
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 2: minority is the loudest, right correct, because it also stands

567
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 2: out like if you if you pay attention to basketball,

568
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 2: you know, the most casual fan knows that Lebron James

569
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 2: Junior is not a real player or a real you know, prospect,

570
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 2: And but hey, let's get behind the cause for whatever reason,

571
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 2: right like, and so that the minority group will be

572
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 2: always vocal in that Hey, let's you know, we're we're

573
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 2: gonna be It's different it's like those people, you know,

574
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 2: those people that are music heads but they hate popular.

575
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 4: Oh god, yes, I work with a few guys like that, right.

576
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 2: Like, and they give you some obscure band. Well, I'm

577
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 2: a fan of the of the of the cock Crows,

578
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 2: right whatever.

579
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 4: I you know, I used to like Kendrick Lamar back

580
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 4: in the old days. It when he became popular. Now

581
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 4: he's not cool anymore. It's like the music isn't any worse.

582
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 4: He's just popular and that doesn't vibe with your indie

583
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 4: outlook or whatever you have. So this is because every

584
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 4: because everybody else likes them, now you can't anymore. It's

585
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 4: one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. That

586
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 4: annoys me to no end.

587
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 3: It's true.

588
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 2: And then to me, the same thing with sports, like, yeah, well,

589
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,239
Speaker 2: I know we're gonna go with the Bronny because you know,

590
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 2: if for some reason Bronnie then turned into a player,

591
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 2: we were there. I was the day one, that's right, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

592
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 2: I know, right, you know.

593
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 4: Or I think there's there are some people who do

594
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 4: see him somewhat as a sympathetic figure, because I will say,

595
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 4: for Bronnie Paul, the hype that he has gotten unwarranted

596
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 4: based on his play. He has been very humble and

597
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 4: has worked his tail off. He's like he really is

598
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 4: and looking just and as someone who has watched him

599
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 4: last year at Summer League to where the way he

600
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 4: ended last season, it's the way he started Summer League

601
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 4: this year. He is very much better now. He still

602
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 4: has an extremely long to go, but you can see

603
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 4: the work that he's put in to improve himself. So

604
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 4: you can cry nepotism all you want. One thing I've

605
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 4: always said is all it does is get you an opportunity.

606
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 4: It's up to you to do something with it. So

607
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 4: you know, yes, he was. He is privileged to be

608
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 4: the son of one of the greatest players in the

609
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 4: history of professional sports, and that privilege allowed him a

610
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 4: chance to make it into the NBA. Now let's see

611
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 4: what he does with it, and if he can find

612
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 4: a way to scrounge himself out to be a third

613
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 4: guard on somebody's team and you know, have a seven

614
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 4: year career, you know, then more power to him. By

615
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 4: all means, I do root for him because to your point,

616
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 4: he's a great kid and it works his tail off,

617
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 4: and I respect the hell out of him. For that

618
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 4: because he can fold under the pressure because there still

619
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 4: a lot on him right now and there's a lot.

620
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 2: Of spotlight and hey, that's that's the thing, right Yeah.

621
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 2: The eyeballs, the eyeballs are vast, really are on this

622
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 2: kid like that. That is right, like that. You know,

623
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 2: you don't have you think about it, right, you know,

624
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 2: doing Harper, Yeah, he's the second pick of the draft.

625
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 2: You want to have haf the eyebarrows that Bronni or

626
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 2: Cooper flag will have on not.

627
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 4: At all, Not at all. That's a that's a heavy

628
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 4: burden to carry. Just being the son of Lebron James

629
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 4: as a heavy burden carry anyway, then you decide to

630
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 4: play basketball. So now it's almost as if if I

631
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 4: were Lebron's son or Michael Jordan's son or somebody. It's

632
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 4: like fog, you go play soccer or something, you know

633
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 4: what I mean, It's like you play the same sport.

634
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 4: And I understand why you do it. Obviously it makes

635
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 4: sense for Bronnie and Bryce his youngest son. Uh, but

636
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 4: that's just an immense amount of pressure to have to

637
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 4: follow in his fostests because you're always going to be

638
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 4: compared to him. You're never gonna be able to live

639
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 4: up to it, even if you were a phenomenal athlete

640
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 4: who was the first overall pick in the draft or

641
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 4: something like that. That's hard to live up to. Can't

642
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:42,719
Speaker 4: do it, dude.

643
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 2: It was funny because even Lebron, like Lebron, still can't

644
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 2: get past Mike, Mike's shadow, right, like beach stick, I

645
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 2: saw one. I saw a post the other day about

646
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 2: Jordan's championships, right, you know, versus Lebron's case closed, it

647
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 2: still happens, right, And this is this is one of

648
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 2: the greatest players of our of the in the history

649
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 2: of the game. Whereether you rank them and let alone

650
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 2: now that guy's son, Oh my god. And you know

651
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 2: we're we're all jealous of the sun the born on

652
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 2: third base guy, You're you're innately jealous of It's just

653
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 2: human nature.

654
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 3: Sure, sure, anyway, let's say quick, t oh, come back.

655
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 2: But I want to continue that the whole idea of

656
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 2: But why is that? Why does he just dominate the

657
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 2: landscape and cal rally, I mean, there's got to be

658
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 2: something else.

659
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,000

668
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 2: Figure let's get back to baseball at the All Star break.

669
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 2: So the great story, I mean, the Dodgers struggle with

670
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 2: some health issues. Glass Eel's back doesn't look like himself yet.

671
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 2: But then there's Otani. You mentioned him hit a home

672
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 2: run last night. Again is arcing towards He's looking good

673
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 2: on the mound, and you know, I guess what's going

674
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,919
Speaker 2: on is there?

675
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 3: Everything's eyeing towards September October.

676
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, So as far as Otani on the mound, Dave

677
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 4: Roberts said earlier this week, they're not even sure if

678
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 4: they'll be able to stretch them out beyond five or

679
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,439
Speaker 4: six innings. At this point, they really want to slow

680
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 4: play this as much as they possibly can. They're are

681
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 4: getting healthier in the starting staff. I should mention Glass

682
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 4: now started against Milwaukee the other day, looked solid. Blake

683
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 4: Snell is on a rehab assignment, so starting pitching was

684
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 4: an issue to start the season. That seems to be

685
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 4: rounding into form a little bit safe for Dustin May

686
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 4: last night in San Francisco. The issue is their bullpen

687
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 4: has banged up. All their high leverage guys are either

688
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 4: struggling or hurt, and even their lineup. You know, they've

689
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 4: lost what seven in a row now. Mookie hasn't been hitting,

690
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 4: and he's mostly healthy. Freddie Freeman has n't been hitting.

691
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 4: After leading the Major League Baseball and batting average for

692
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 4: the first couple of months, he's hitting two hundred over

693
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 4: the past month. A lot of people think that foot

694
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,959
Speaker 4: injury is still bothering him, lingering over from the World

695
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 4: Series last year. And even though Tani as many home

696
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 4: runs as he has, not many RBI because he doesn't

697
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 4: have a lot of guys getting on base in front

698
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 4: of him, and he's been cold for the last you know,

699
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 4: three weeks or so. So I know these are Champagne

700
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 4: problems because you look at the Dodgers and they still

701
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 4: have the second best record in all of baseball, but

702
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 4: they're definitely hurting right now. So nobody needs the All

703
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 4: Star break more than they do just so they can

704
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 4: get a mental and physical reset for guys in the

705
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 4: bullpen and for the regular everyday lineup.

706
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what I was curious about. I mean, listen,

707
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:12,479
Speaker 2: it's a long season and teams go through funks. Yeah,

708
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 2: and you know how it is. People watch like when

709
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 2: they watch the NBA, they watch the NBA, right, they

710
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 2: watched the best teams in the NBA. We all watch

711
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 2: everything in football, and so we're all in tune to

712
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 2: the league. But baseball, you watch your local team. It's

713
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 2: right kind of how it is, and there's no perspective,

714
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 2: Like I'm in Philadelphia and people freak out.

715
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,760
Speaker 3: Phillies lose a game and it's like, oh my god,

716
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 3: they steak.

717
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 2: They're not gonna win there again, They're gonna they're not gonna. Uh,

718
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 2: they're gonna hurt us again. Let us down in October.

719
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 2: It's like, guys, like you're looking around the rest of baseball.

720
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 4: You are top of your division. Bryce Harper has been

721
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 4: hurt for a lot, you know, for for a long

722
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 4: stretch of time. He's back, you know, so when you

723
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 4: have to encapsulate the problem is because I even talked

724
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 4: to someone earlier, Today's saying like, oh, the Dodgers' record

725
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 4: right now are going into the All Star break today

726
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 4: is what it was last year. It's like, well, every

727
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 4: year is different. You can have identical records and your

728
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 4: roster call look different, the issues can be different. So

729
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 4: you know, you have to talk about players who are heard,

730
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 4: players who are struggling, and to your point, through one

731
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 4: sixty two, there are gonna be ebbs and flows. You

732
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 4: just want to make sure that you have you stream together.

733
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 4: More of those six seven eight game win streaks are

734
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 4: winning seven out of ten more than the six seven

735
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 4: eight nine game losing streaks. You have more of those. Really,

736
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 4: all you want to do is get to the postseason.

737
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 4: Because we know the Dodgers no better than anybody. It's

738
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 4: a crapshoot. How many times have they been the favorites

739
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 4: going into the postseason In the last ten, eleven, twelve years,

740
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 4: they've won two World Series, although if you want to

741
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 4: be that way, some people will say one and a half.

742
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 4: But whatever, So it is a long year. You're gonna

743
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 4: have ups and downs. I do I respect the fact

744
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 4: and part of me does love the idea that people

745
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 4: live and die with every pitch, every single game because

746
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 4: they want to see the team play well. But I

747
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 4: do think it's healthy to have kind of a wider

748
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 4: perspective and just know sometimes good teams have have a

749
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 4: bit of a funk during the season. It's going to happen.

750
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 3: That's it. That's all.

751
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 2: It's you know, you hate to say to relax the Rogers,

752
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 2: they but it's true, Like it's baseball.

753
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 3: You can't.

754
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 2: You can't look at baseball through the prism of football,

755
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 2: right right, you know, you just gotta. And truthfully, it's

756
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 2: why I don't know about you, but dude, I'm struggling now,

757
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 2: Like now, I reach the point where it's like I

758
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 2: need I need something else, like I need football.

759
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 4: You burned out on baseball as they are sport right now?

760
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's not like I love baseball right now,

761
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 2: but I love when there's multiple things. Like baseball's the

762
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 2: best in the early months and the late months, right

763
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 2: because the late months pana raise playoffs. There's nothing better,

764
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 2: right And in the early months because you missed the

765
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 2: sport right right, you just go, oh man, I miss

766
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 2: it and it's back. But once you hit July and

767
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,919
Speaker 2: it's just baseball every night, it's like all right.

768
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 3: You know, I'm ready.

769
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 2: And by the way, I've reached my like nth degree

770
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,359
Speaker 2: when it comes to football, Like I'm like, now I'm

771
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 2: dying for it, right, Like you're always missing it, but

772
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 2: this point of the calendar, like you had the tournament

773
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 2: and then you got the NBA NHL Finals, you gorge right, right,

774
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,479
Speaker 2: all that stuff, and it gets you through everything, right, right,

775
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 2: But now you reach this time, you go, all right, man.

776
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 3: Let's go.

777
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 4: But see, doesn't this time make you appreciate football so

778
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 4: much more? That's the thing. So I miss it too,

779
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 4: and I'm looking forward to it's starting here in a

780
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 4: couple of weeks in training camp. But the fact that

781
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 4: we don't have it for this stretch of time, I

782
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 4: think is a big reason why football is so popular.

783
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 3: Yeah you think so? Yeah?

784
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 4: Absolutely? Why make the heart grow fonder? Yeah, less is

785
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 4: more to a certain degree.

786
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 3: You're right. I'm not disagreeing. You're right.

787
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 2: It's just a perfect game, is wide. That's it. It's

788
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 2: just a perfect game.

789
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:19,480

00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 4: It's the Disney Resort on Owahu is where we're going.

806
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 3: So oh that's wonderful.

807
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 4: So yeah, the kids, so my two nieces are three,

808
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 4: my son is now fourteen months, so really for the

809
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 4: for the three year olds, they can run around and

810
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 4: obviously there's you know, a pool and a water park

811
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 4: and there's Disney characters running all over the place. So

812
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 4: that'll be a fun time. So we're looking forward to that.

813
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 3: That's ah, that's gonna be great.

814
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 4: Well, they were not looking forward to is a fourteen

815
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:40,359
Speaker 4: month old on a five hour flight from LA to Hawaii. Now,

816
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 4: especially that he's walking and he's got some autonomy going

817
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 4: because he's been on a few flights before. But he

818
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 4: really couldn't do a whole lot. Now that he wants

819
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 4: to get up and move and does not want to

820
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 4: be held by anybody at any time, that's gonna be

821
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 4: a bit of a challenge.

822
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know what possessed us. So we took

823
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 2: my Anthony was about twenty twenty eight months, right, and

824
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 2: we took them to Italy.

825
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 3: And that was not the I mean, I don't know

826
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:15,879
Speaker 3: why we did that, but we did it.

827
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 2: I mean we had a great time at all, But

828
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 2: I mean to sitting like that that along of a

829
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 2: flight is.

830
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:27,399
Speaker 4: Tough, insane, all right, we get restless on flights that long.

831
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 4: I can imagine a kid that young.

832
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 2: Oh my god. And then you know with the weather

833
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 2: issues that's going on right right. So I just got

834
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 2: back and we were on a plane. So we were

835
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 2: leaving Naples at oh my god, it was three and

836
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 2: a half hours late, and we were all everybody's on

837
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 2: the plane the whole time. And then we get back

838
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 2: to Philadelphia and there's this major storm, so we have

839
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 2: to sit on the plane for another three hours before

840
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 2: because you when lightning hits, they got fifteen minutes before

841
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 2: they can open up the ramp again because they closed

842
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,839
Speaker 2: the airport, right and uh, I mean it was just

843
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 2: you know, it's just weather, right, like just and it's

844
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,879
Speaker 2: one of those trips. So you gotta hope, like if

845
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 2: you're taking a small child, you gotta hope you have.

846
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 3: No weather issues or stuff like, because that it's torture.

847
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 4: That's biggest nightmare is being stuck sitting on a plane

848
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,240
Speaker 4: for three hours with the kids on the plane.

849
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 3: Yeah. Fun end and back end.

850
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, my god, oh horrible, But that's gonna be fantastic.

851
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 4: Probably, it's gonna be a good time. It's gonna be fun.

852
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 4: Gonna be fun. You got anything in the pipeline before

853
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 4: football season starts.

854
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 2: No, we just got back from uh, but we go

855
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 2: to this little town in Italy that we love. It's

856
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 2: called the Estay. It's in Pool. It's in Pool. Yeah, okay,

857
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 2: so it's on the other coast. Everybody pumps up the

858
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 2: Amalfi coast. This is on the Pullian coast. It's uh,

859
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 2: it's on the Adriatic side. And I mean literally it's

860
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 2: it's We got there three hours from the fly flow

861
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 2: in the Naples. Had a car, but I know we

862
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 2: have people, we don't got to know people there, so

863
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 2: absolutely you know, and it's really it's if people ever

864
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 2: get a chance that coast of Italy, it's so affordable,

865
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 2: like it's actually cheaper to go to Italy than it

866
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 2: is to go to our shore area, which to get

867
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 2: lodging and food and uh, you know. And it's so

868
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 2: we went for wet tend days. I had some business

869
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 2: over there, so it was it was it was good. Cool, Yeah,

870
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 2: it was fun.

871
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 3: It was fun. We love we and we love this town.

872
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 2: And ironically, the the peninsula it shuts out into the Adriatic,

873
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 2: it's called the Gargato Peninsula, so it's the region, right,

874
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 2: So it's like this Gargato region.

875
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 3: So it's weird.

876
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:06,760
Speaker 2: So my family when they came over, they went from

877
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 2: that region to Naples, right, and so when they got

878
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 2: to Naples, they called them Gargano. So then from Naples

879
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 2: and they came to the States and then so they kept

880
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 2: that surname. And now nobody has the surname in that region.

881
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,879
Speaker 2: So what I show them the you know, the credit card,

882
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 2: They go, oh my god, local celebrity. Yeah, it's great,

883
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 2: it's right, Like it's like the only place in the

884
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 2: world I go want this is the Matman it's so.

885
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's named after my great great great great great grandfather.

886
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 2: That's right, that's me why I think they got kicked

887
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 2: out of the region.

888
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 3: That's great.

889
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's great. And this is the time.

890
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:59,760
Speaker 2: This is like the vacation time because you know, cup.

891
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 3: It's a baby.

Speaker 4: You know, guys are ramping up, ramping down their vacations,

895
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 4: getting their personal workouts in so they can pass their

00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 4: It's almost here.

898
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 2: Baldy's in Dallas now and he's doing this is a

899
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:23,919
Speaker 2: really cool thing. So Lane Johnson of the Eagles has

900
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:26,959
Speaker 2: has done this for the last few years. It's called

901
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 2: the O Line Masterminds and all the great offensive linemen, uh,

902
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 2: I mean all the all the offensive lineman and the

903
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:41,760
Speaker 2: NFL college. They get like five hundred guys, even school kids.

904
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 2: They all go there to talk technique and have like

905
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 2: a summit. That's really cool.

906
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 4: A lot of position groups have been doing this in

907
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 4: the last few years. Summit.

908
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 2: There's a sax summit. Yeah yeah, Crossby does that. He

909
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 2: does the Sack the Sack Summit. Can in Vegas.

910
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, he took that over from Von Miller. I think

911
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,240
Speaker 4: who started it some of your.

912
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.

913
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 2: So they just did the O Line Summit, And I

914
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 2: have to say I love these players today are so

915
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 2: dedicated in their craft. They're always looking to learn tick

916
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 2: unique nuance, like they're into it. Like I was having

917
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 2: this conversation with Bold yesterday on my show and we

918
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 2: were talking about this, this notion of today's athlete. I

919
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 2: think you can argue that today because everybody back in

920
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 2: the day, back in the day, right, I think you

921
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 2: can argue that today's athlete, especially in football, is way

922
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 2: more dedicated.

923
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:49,359
Speaker 3: Yeah.

924
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 4: Well, you also have that there's so many more resources

925
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 4: now that players back then didn't necessarily have too. So well, one,

926
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 4: there's so much money to be made, way more money

927
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 4: now than it was back right. You know, guys are

928
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 4: staying in shape year round. Back in the day, guys

929
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 4: had working nine to fives in the off season. They

930
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 4: were reports of training camp like last week. Thirty years ago.

931
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 4: They'd be in training camp for two months before they

932
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 4: even play a game because they're working themselves into shape.

933
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 4: So it's a doggy dog world. There's only so many

934
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 4: positions out there. There's so much talent. There are so

935
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 4: many coaches, you have mastermind classes. Everybody's trying to find

936
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 4: whatever inch they can possibly get to get an advantage

937
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 4: over somebody else because there is a doggy dog war

938
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 4: out there, and there's a lot of money to be

939
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 4: made at a lot of different levels. At the college

940
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 4: level now is basically semi professional at this point with

941
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:38,760
Speaker 4: the amount of money that's going around. So it's big business.

942
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 4: So football is no longer just a pastime, something to do,

943
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 4: way to give me a scholarship. It's a way of

944
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 4: life for a lot of these people. It's very serious business.

945
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 4: And these guys are looking for every single advantage they

946
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:49,319
Speaker 4: can get.

947
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 2: Dude, it's yes, and everything he said is spot on, Like,

948
00:48:55,520 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 2: you know, the incentives are different and more rare, and

949
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,399
Speaker 2: you didn't know. I'm not even talking about back when

950
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 2: they had all the jobs. If you go back into

951
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:09,839
Speaker 2: the you know, eighties, nineties, early two thousands, I mean,

952
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 2: you know, I think the culture is different too. Like

953
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 2: back then, all season was I'm gonna go party right

954
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 2: right for three months and dude, and now it's different.

955
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 2: It's not like that. It's some more dedication and I

956
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 2: think you're right to the craft. I also think it

957
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 2: starts younger. I see these high school kids, especially now

958
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 2: with all the NIL and we'll get into some of

959
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 2: the NIL and college stuff coming up shortly.

960
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 3: But when you look at these high school kids, these

961
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:43,320
Speaker 3: high school kids.

962
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 2: Are working, like these high school quarterbacks are, you know,

963
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:51,879
Speaker 2: breaking down film and studying and learning their offense and

964
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 2: nuances and everything else. Like that piece of it, the

965
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 2: exit O piece of it is way more pronounced than

966
00:49:59,480 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 2: it ever was.

967
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is, you know. Back in the day, it's

968
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 4: just like if you have the most talent, you won,

969
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 4: even if you weren't the most polished. And now you

970
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 4: have these high school offenses that are running NFL style

971
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 4: offenses and have you know, big name coordinators and all.

972
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 4: This is just the resources trickle all the way down

973
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 4: because again even kids who are in middle school now

974
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 4: are being basically being recruited to college at this point,

975
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,320
Speaker 4: so you know, and that's part of the big business

976
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 4: of it too. There's kids, depending on the state that

977
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 4: you live in, who get NIL deals as early as

978
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 4: their freshman year in high school. So it has turned in,

979
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 4: like I said, from being something that was it was

980
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:35,399
Speaker 4: something to do. It was a way to have fun

981
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 4: with your friends. It was camaraderie. It's still all of that,

982
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 4: but now there's a business aspect to it too. And

983
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 4: some of it I'm good with. There's an aspect of it.

984
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,879
Speaker 4: I think that kind of I'm not the biggest fan

985
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 4: of some of that gets lost because I think the

986
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 4: business ends up taking over the important part, which is

987
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 4: the camaraderie aspect, which is learning teamwork and all that stuff,

988
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 4: because I think the more and more we lean into

989
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,919
Speaker 4: nil and getting mine and all that stuff, it takes

990
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 4: away from the team of it at that young of

991
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 4: a level. That's the issue that I have with it

992
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 4: right now, the way things are trending.

993
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's it's true.

994
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 2: You know, yeah that that I see it all.

995
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 4: Over youth sports. Yeah, you're you're knee deepend it right now.

996
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:18,760
Speaker 4: So you know how this goes?

997
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:21,879
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and it's it's wild.

998
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 2: It's it's and I see, like we had a little

999
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:30,800
Speaker 2: league district game last night, and I mean just the pressure,

1000
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 2: like I shit back, I'm quiet, right, like I just whatever,

1001
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 2: and I'm here in parents freak out and you know,

1002
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:44,799
Speaker 2: all pies and stop the game and please refrain from language,

1003
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 2: and you're like, yo, But it's all part of this

1004
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 2: world where everybody thinks they're going to get some sort

1005
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 2: of nil deal, right. I mean, that was never the case,

1006
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 2: so this is a new phenomenon. But people are like sharks.

1007
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 3: Man. There's smell and it makes you delusional.

1008
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's big business. You have like these these baseball

1009
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,800
Speaker 4: coaches or these football clinics that are put on by

1010
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:15,360
Speaker 4: you know so and so such and such gurus or

1011
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 4: charging hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. There's travel teams

1012
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 4: and all this is that you just want to put

1013
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:22,319
Speaker 4: your kid in high school and let them play against

1014
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 4: normal people. No, you got to put them on this

1015
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,399
Speaker 4: travel team. He has so much potential. Whether he does

1016
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 4: or doesn't, who knows all on. And I'm sure there's

1017
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,800
Speaker 4: a lot of these people who do have the kids

1018
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 4: in best interest at heart. I'm not saying that all

1019
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 4: of them are like this, but a lot of these

1020
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 4: guys are just sharks, and they just tell you whatever,

1021
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 4: whatever you want to hear, to tell you your kid

1022
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 4: has potential so they can get money out of you,

1023
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 4: knowing that the kid probably can work his ass off

1024
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 4: as long as he wants. He's never going to make

1025
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,840
Speaker 4: it to a Division one, you know, football scholarship or anything.

1026
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 4: And that's the sad part about it, because you have

1027
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 4: stories about that all the time, where these parents are

1028
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 4: putting themselves into debt for these kids who are chasing

1029
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 4: essentially a pipe dream.

1030
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:03,319
Speaker 2: And you know what the problem is, here's the real

1031
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:07,319
Speaker 2: problem and fake next week, I got to go to

1032
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 2: South Carolina on a baseball tournament. Like I'll be out

1033
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 2: next week because we have a tournament in South Carolina,

1034
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 2: which is ridiculous, Like we you know, in fact, one

1035
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 2: of the teams we're playing in the tournament is from

1036
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 2: our region. It's like, you know, we're traveling all this

1037
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 2: way to go. I mean it's eleven hour drive and

1038
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 2: we're traveling all this way to go play a team

1039
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 2: that we could play up here.

1040
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:30,839
Speaker 3: I mean, stupid, right.

1041
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 4: Makes still sense. And then you're on the hook for gas,

1042
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 4: you're on the hook for food and a lot of

1043
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:37,280
Speaker 4: times lodging and all that stuff.

1044
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:39,320
Speaker 3: It's crazy, tucket crazy.

1045
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 2: But to your point, the truth of the matter is

1046
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 2: you don't know until after they go through puberty, right, right,

1047
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 2: Like all this stuff that we do, and I'm like

1048
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 2: I'm knee deep into coaches and I luckily I do

1049
00:53:58,680 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 2: a lot of it and know a lot of people,

1050
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 2: and you know, it's a kind of a village type

1051
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 2: of thing, so you know, it's not at the expense

1052
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 2: that other parents have. But my god, I mean it's

1053
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 2: in scene like I see it with my little one

1054
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 2: because he does baseball and football. The big one does

1055
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 2: football and he rows too, but you know, the football

1056
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 2: is great, and you know, and then the baseball. He

1057
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 2: plays basketball, but like, no, you know, he's like, I

1058
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 2: want to go to a trader, like little Joey. You like, no,

1059
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:33,839
Speaker 2: you're not doing that. You don't need to. First of all,

1060
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:35,720
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what's going well, I coach you anyway.

1061
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:39,840
Speaker 2: You leave basketball alone, all right, unless you're going to

1062
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 2: be six y nine.

1063
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:42,720
Speaker 3: I don't want to talk about it.

1064
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,760
Speaker 4: Right, which probably not happening.

1065
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 2: Right. Go have fun, enjoy it, play it, have fun,

1066
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 2: be a kid, right, But like you know, you're he's like,

1067
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:58,919
Speaker 2: the little one's a quarterback, and I go, you gotta

1068
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 2: take that serious. Like they gave his coach gave him,

1069
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 2: gave me the offense to learn the offense. Like he's

1070
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:09,759
Speaker 2: twelve and he's got to learn the offense running a

1071
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 2: gun tea right, and he's got to learn it, like

1072
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 2: you know, I'm like, dude, you have to take that

1073
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:18,760
Speaker 2: very seriously. Baseball, we spend a lot of money traveling

1074
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:21,799
Speaker 2: and doing this, doing that. Well, I take you all

1075
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 2: the time, and forget the money. I like my time

1076
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 2: to spend all with them. It's like, just you know,

1077
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:30,920
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. Like there's no pressure that you

1078
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:34,360
Speaker 2: need to go play in college. Hey, if it happened, great,

1079
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Like, but I watch all

1080
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 2: these kids every day and there's some great, really immensely

1081
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 2: talented kids, but you don't know it's on they go

1082
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 2: through puberty. How big are? It all comes down the

1083
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 2: size unless you're some freak athlete, right, because it's gonna

1084
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 2: come down the size.

1085
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 3: Are you big enough? Right?

1086
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 4: Are you big enough? And there's some things that are

1087
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,840
Speaker 4: just inherent your instincts, especially in the sport like baseball.

1088
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,359
Speaker 4: Well do you see the ball? All that stuff? Does

1089
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 4: it come together until you're a little bit older. And

1090
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,280
Speaker 4: I just hate to see these parents, And you mentioned

1091
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 4: earlier in the show about the pressure that's on a

1092
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 4: lot of these kids. These parents are yelling at eight

1093
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 4: year olds because they struck out looking when they say you,

1094
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 4: why did you swing at it? It's like, the dude,

1095
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 4: these eight what is wrong with you? It's like and

1096
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:21,319
Speaker 4: then and the problem is I think a lot of

1097
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:26,359
Speaker 4: the culture allows parents to resent their kids because they

1098
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,839
Speaker 4: feel the kids aren't working hard enough and their parents

1099
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 4: are spending quote unquote all this money and they're not

1100
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 4: they're not seeing the results. It's like, do you realize

1101
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:36,800
Speaker 4: how twisted of an outlook that is. I think people

1102
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 4: doing it can't even take the three thousand foot view

1103
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:41,439
Speaker 4: step back and actually look at themselves and how they're

1104
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:43,720
Speaker 4: conducting themselves and how they're treating their kids.

1105
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 2: In these Sysyeah, that's no it. And what happens is

1106
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,239
Speaker 2: now you get the kid, you push the kids gonna

1107
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:53,280
Speaker 2: hate the game, right, which is shot, which is terrible.

1108
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 2: Like last night, my my Masimo had had a big game, right,

1109
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 2: like he just didn't play well, right, made it ver

1110
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 2: shruck out, ground out, weekly just didn't play well. We won,

1111
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 2: and he was really dejected and like it's baseball, right,

1112
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 2: Like you're gonna have oh for four nights, you're gonna

1113
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 2: make errors, Like it's just every sport's about failure, and

1114
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 2: you know, he was very down himself and very low

1115
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 2: and and I'm like, we.

1116
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 3: Do, but you guys won. Man, it's great.

1117
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 2: Like it's all right, like me, you get at the bar,

1118
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 2: I man, I said, that's what baseball's about.

1119
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 3: Baseball is you forget forget it.

1120
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 2: He's another game tomorrow to get two hitch tomorrow and

1121
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 2: you won't even remember this game.

1122
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 3: And it doesn't matter.

1123
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 2: And what do you do? Where do you get two

1124
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 2: hits or not? None of it matters. Enjoy the fact

1125
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,760
Speaker 2: that you're twelve years old, you're in this tournament, your

1126
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 2: team won. Enjoy it, like, don't don't like like because

1127
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 2: I was telling I'll never ever be mad at you

1128
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 2: for making an error or striking out like the that's

1129
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 2: not that's all part of the game.

1130
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 4: That's great to say.

1131
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 3: As long as you as.

1132
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 2: Long as you I tell him, at the same thing,

1133
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 2: the only thing I'll ever get mad is if you're

1134
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 2: disrespectful to coaches, umpires, referees, if you don't conduct yourself

1135
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 2: with the way we teach her to conduct yourself. That's it,

1136
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 2: you know, make sure you try right give it add well,

1137
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 2: that's the stuff.

1138
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 4: Try your hardest, stuf right.

1139
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 2: Also, you know we I always have I always talk

1140
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 2: to him about you know, like a body language. And

1141
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 2: you know, listen, you strike out, you don't blame the umpire,

1142
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 2: you just walk right to the dugout. I tell about

1143
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 2: Bobby Wit all the time, like I love Bobby with

1144
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 2: Bobby WIT's great, the greatest.

1145
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 3: And he talks about, you know, failure.

1146
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 2: And there's a scout that told the story about Bobby

1147
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 2: Wit and how he struck out like a big game

1148
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,920
Speaker 2: everybody who's there to watch him, and he struck out

1149
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,920
Speaker 2: a couple of times and still like the guy the

1150
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 2: bat boy, like running out, get everybody's bat and front

1151
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 2: row the front railing and a dugout and you know,

1152
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:04,439
Speaker 2: and then he wants to hit the game winning home run.

1153
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 3: But he had to.

1154
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 2: He had the right attitude the entire game, even while

1155
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 2: he was struggling at the plate. And I tell that

1156
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 2: to my guy all the time, like dude, like this

1157
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 2: is what it's about. And whether we're stole a little field, right,

1158
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 2: like we haven't even gotten to the big field, right,

1159
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 2: And when the big field happens, that's when you see separation.

1160
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 3: Right after you go through puberty.

1161
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 2: Like he's twelve until they're fifteen sixteen, Then you go

1162
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 2: all right, well this kid could be a legitimate prospect.

1163
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:35,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, you have no idea when they're that young, and

1164
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:36,920
Speaker 4: you don't want them to put that sort of pressure

1165
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 4: on themselves. It's just phenomenal that you give him that

1166
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:41,920
Speaker 4: message saying like, hey, it's a game of failure. You're

1167
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 4: gonna have bad games. Be happy that the team won.

1168
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:46,920
Speaker 4: You could be disappointed in your performance and understand that

1169
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 4: you can do better. That's fine, that's part of growing, right,

1170
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 4: But you know, I don't want you to sit here

1171
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 4: and mope around and say I'm a failure, I suck,

1172
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 4: I'm a loser, like.

1173
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 3: Right, that's right.

1174
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 4: It's really not that big of a deal. It's a

1175
00:59:57,240 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 4: learning experience. You're out there to have fun. That's that's

1176
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:02,440
Speaker 4: the most important thing. So I'm glad you instilled that

1177
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 4: message in your kids because I just a lot of

1178
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 4: people don't do that these days, and they put so

1179
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 4: much pressure on them. And it's really sad.

1180
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 2: Because people see the headlines, right, the big nil deals

1181
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 2: like the kid for Texas Tech and all this stuff,

1182
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 2: Like they see this stuff, they go all you know,

1183
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 2: it's like if it happens it happens.

1184
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 3: You do the work, you go through the.

1185
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 2: Proper things, but you can't force it, like you know,

1186
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 2: it's a blessing. Like let's see what happens. All right,

Speaker 3: Yeah?

1207
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 4: I have not done every single position group. But I

1208
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 4: saw a couple. I saw saw running backs. I saw

1209
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 4: tight ends. My guy brought Bowers number one, I saw.

1210
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 4: I saw a few of them, but I did not

1211
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 4: see all of them.

1212
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:51,840
Speaker 2: Know, all right, So let's talk about the running backs,

1213
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 2: all right, because they did the running backs and I

1214
01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:59,440
Speaker 2: only have like really kind of one great say it

1215
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:01,240
Speaker 2: number one.

1216
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 4: Which is an easy one, should have been the MVP

1217
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 4: this past season in my opinion.

1218
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:08,920
Speaker 2: I mean, the think about the thing about him. What

1219
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:14,360
Speaker 2: I never saw was hitting the home run with that

1220
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 2: kind of frequency. Yeah, Like we saw Barry Sanders and

1221
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 2: he would have those first field Marcus Alley go back

1222
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 2: in the day, right, like, hey Marshall Falk, did you

1223
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 2: know a bunch of times? And you're like McCaffrey did

1224
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:33,360
Speaker 2: a little bit, but we didn't see. I mean, he

1225
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:38,240
Speaker 2: had eight touchdowns over was it fifty five yard? Fifty

1226
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 2: yards sounds about right? Yeah, I mean, like those are

1227
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 2: home runs. Like we talked about the quick strike offense,

1228
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 2: it was a quick strike run offense.

1229
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, Philadelphia did it differently last year. They were an

1230
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 4: explosive offense, but their explosive plays came from the run game,

1231
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:56,320
Speaker 4: not from the past game. It's been years since you've

1232
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 4: had an NFL offense built like that.

1233
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:02,800
Speaker 2: And you ever saw those kinds, you know, you'd see

1234
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 2: the grinder that maybe you know, you get the eight

1235
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:08,479
Speaker 2: nine eleven yard game right mixed table with the two,

1236
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 2: three four not let's go to.

1237
01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 3: The house, like, I mean, it was crazy.

1238
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:18,600
Speaker 2: Now, obviously they have they probably have the best O

1239
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:19,400
Speaker 2: line in football.

1240
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 4: I was like, well, he's also running behind the Giants

1241
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 4: offensive line, so that that wasn't doing a lot for him.

1242
01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 2: Right, But but you know, to see what he does,

1243
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 2: I mean, he's just a special special play.

1244
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 4: It's remarkable. He really is.

1245
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 3: So uh.

1246
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 2: Number two and this is farty because I was curious

1247
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 2: to see what you think.

1248
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:43,480
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I think it's pretty obvious. But

1249
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:45,840
Speaker 3: number two is.

1250
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 2: King Henry, which both guys being free agents was the

1251
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:54,160
Speaker 2: most bizarre thing in the world.

1252
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, really is It really was. I I don't understand. Well, look,

1253
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 4: I do understand from this standpoint, because we know running

1254
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 4: backs very rarely have a very you know, incremental decline.

1255
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 4: Usually they just fall off of a cliff. And I

1256
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 4: think Tennessee wanted to get out of Derek Henry earlier

1257
01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 4: than later. And they thought that that he was a

1258
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 4: ticking time bomb because of his age. He's thirty one

1259
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 4: or thirty two, I think entering this season, and usually

1260
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 4: I think it was around between twenty nine and thirty

1261
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 4: where the decline, the major decline happens. So I certainly

1262
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 4: understand them parting ways to a certain degree. The problem

1263
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:32,360
Speaker 4: is they just checked out a year or two early.

1264
01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:35,520
Speaker 4: That's the problem. But timing when a running backs shelf

1265
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:38,680
Speaker 4: life ends is a very difficult practice in the NFL.

1266
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 4: It's just really hard to know when that's gonna happen.

1267
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:43,040
Speaker 4: So I understand Tennessee's thinking in that.

1268
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:49,680
Speaker 3: So number three, who I may argue Number two.

1269
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 2: I mean I love Derrick Henry, yeah, but I.

1270
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:55,200
Speaker 3: Love Jamier Gibbs.

1271
01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I wouldn't be surprised that after

1272
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:02,600
Speaker 2: this year that gives his number one. Because he does

1273
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 2: everything runs between the tackles right, is ridiculously fast. He's

1274
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:13,440
Speaker 2: he's the best route runner in the league at that position.

1275
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:14,720
Speaker 4: Easily, without a question.

1276
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 3: Uh.

1277
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 4: And to be a small guy, so obviously he can

1278
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 4: get through a lot of little creases and through the

1279
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 4: offensive line. But he's also pretty stocky. I think it

1280
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 4: might be two hundred and two O five something like that.

1281
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 4: He's a perfect combination of speed and power that you

1282
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:30,280
Speaker 4: don't see in today's league, in today's game anymore. So

1283
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 4: I would definitely argue whether he should be in the

1284
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 4: top one or two. He's not gonna pass Saquon because

1285
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:39,000
Speaker 4: Saikua had such a great year right year. But I

1286
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 4: think there's a legitimate argument between he and Dereck Henry,

1287
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 4: especially since he makes an impact in the passing game

1288
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 4: and Derrick Henry doesn't.

1289
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:49,760
Speaker 2: Well, there are the routes that he runs. There is

1290
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:52,840
Speaker 2: a couple I forget the game it was. It was

1291
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 2: It might have been a one of the playoff games

1292
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 2: or one of the big games for at the end

1293
01:05:57,480 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 2: of the year.

1294
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:00,360
Speaker 3: Where he he.

1295
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 2: It's fourth down because it's you know Dan Campbell fourth down, right,

1296
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:11,840
Speaker 2: it's fourth down, and they got him split out and

1297
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 2: he runs this route where it looks like he's going

1298
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 2: outside and he cuts it into the middle and the

1299
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 2: route was ridiculous and it's touchdown and got hits him.

1300
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:26,280
Speaker 3: He just does that so much.

1301
01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:30,040
Speaker 2: He's such a great what a receiver he is, Like

1302
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 2: he run again, he does everything right, bounce it outside,

1303
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:38,320
Speaker 2: runs between the tackles right tough yards. Listen, it was

1304
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:43,160
Speaker 2: an embarrassment with Montgomery and him, but like he's easily

1305
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:45,440
Speaker 2: the every down back anywhere else.

1306
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1307
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 4: But I'll also say I do think the guy listed

1308
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:50,160
Speaker 4: at number four is nipping at his heels, And I

1309
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 4: think I don't know if it's because of where he

1310
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:54,480
Speaker 4: plays or because I don't think he has a highlights

1311
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 4: Like if you look at his actual Statu're like, oh

1312
01:06:56,720 --> 01:07:00,200
Speaker 4: my god, b Jon Robinson fourteen fifteen hundred, I was

1313
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 4: rushing fourteen touchdowns. But I don't think he doesn't have

1314
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:07,120
Speaker 4: the Saquon Barkley like wow plays. He's just been remarkably

1315
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 4: consistent his first couple of years in the league. But

1316
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:12,960
Speaker 4: from a talent perspective, I think he's kind of right

1317
01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:17,440
Speaker 4: there to a certain degree with Jamior Gibbs. He just

1318
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:20,360
Speaker 4: hasn't had the sort of the marquee the Giant plays

1319
01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 4: and obviously the big stage. You know, Detroit has been

1320
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:23,920
Speaker 4: one of the best teams in the league last couple

1321
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:26,360
Speaker 4: of years. Atlanta not a playoff team. Yeah, so he's

1322
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 4: had that working against him. But I think he's every

1323
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:30,120
Speaker 4: bit as talented as Jamier Gibbs is.

1324
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:31,680
Speaker 3: So I'm with you.

1325
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:36,200
Speaker 2: Maybe not as fast correct, yeah, but but I'm completely

1326
01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:38,600
Speaker 2: with you. And here's the other thing that he's had

1327
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 2: against him up until now that he's got panics, you know,

1328
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:47,480
Speaker 2: I mean, you got a young quarterback. Finally you got

1329
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:50,439
Speaker 2: a good quarterback. I like panis I do too. Yeah,

1330
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:54,480
Speaker 2: So you know before that he had nothing, he had nothing,

1331
01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:59,080
Speaker 2: and you look at you know, the past game.

1332
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 3: It's finally clicked, you know, middle last year.

1333
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:06,920
Speaker 2: But Barkley's got that all day long, right with Hertz

1334
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:10,400
Speaker 2: and aj Brawn, Deavonte Smith and Gibbs has that all

1335
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:16,320
Speaker 2: day long with golf and you know that Lion's fleet

1336
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:17,600
Speaker 2: of great receivers.

1337
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:20,879
Speaker 4: Yeah right, And so that's what's been missing for Atlanta.

1338
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:23,120
Speaker 4: Everybody was able to load up, you know, the last

1339
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 4: couple of seasons because the quarterback position has just been

1340
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:28,360
Speaker 4: so atrocious for them. So now that you have Pannix

1341
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 4: in there with another year under his belt, that's the

1342
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:32,439
Speaker 4: starter some more weapons in there. I think the sky's

1343
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 4: the limits for Bijon.

1344
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:34,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. I agree.

1345
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny because like that's a very real thing.

1346
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:43,559
Speaker 2: Like when you have, say Jamison Williams that you're afraid

1347
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:46,679
Speaker 2: that's gonna run behind you and run through a cover too.

1348
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:47,880
Speaker 5: Uh.

1349
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 3: That's gonna help your back in a big way.

1350
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:54,280
Speaker 4: Well yeah, yeah, yeah, opens up down deep and then

1351
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 4: you have aman Rah underneath. I mean that does a

1352
01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 4: lot of attention that to get that gets cracked away

1353
01:08:59,200 --> 01:08:59,800
Speaker 4: from you as the.

1354
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 2: Back right, And I just talk about uh, And I

1355
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:05,920
Speaker 2: just thought about Jamison only because of the safety situation, right,

1356
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:09,880
Speaker 2: because you can't load the box up because you need

1357
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 2: you play deep safety.

1358
01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:14,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no run support there from the back end

1359
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:17,200
Speaker 4: for sure. I now here's where the issue for me

1360
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:19,320
Speaker 4: comes in. And I want to get your take on

1361
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:21,720
Speaker 4: this to me too. I do not like this.

1362
01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:28,320
Speaker 2: At number five, they have Christian McCaffrey, and I don't

1363
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 2: think you can put him anywhere near this combing off

1364
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:34,519
Speaker 2: the edge, coming off the the injury plagued years that

1365
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 2: he's had.

1366
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:37,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's just had too many down years. He's been

1367
01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 4: too banged up. How you can put him ahead of

1368
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:42,760
Speaker 4: Josh Jacobs, who had a phenomenon last year for Green

1369
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 4: Bay makes no sense to me.

1370
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:46,120
Speaker 3: What's I hated that?

1371
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:50,679
Speaker 2: I'm so glad you said that because listen, I went healthy.

1372
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:54,519
Speaker 2: He's terrific, right, You know about it. But but he

1373
01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:58,320
Speaker 2: hasn't been No, hey, you can't. Now it's not fair

1374
01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:00,000
Speaker 2: to Josh Jacobs.

1375
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:02,240
Speaker 4: Who was terrific last year.

1376
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:02,559
Speaker 3: Man.

1377
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 2: Like we talked about those receivers that the Packers had

1378
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,639
Speaker 2: a bunch of twos and threes. Yep, right, they didn't

1379
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:12,240
Speaker 2: have forget, I'm a round Saint Brown, they didn't have

1380
01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 2: Jameson Williams.

1381
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:15,000
Speaker 3: Correct. Yeah, all right.

1382
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:18,240
Speaker 2: Like so you look at the attention and how they

1383
01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:21,439
Speaker 2: were teams loaded the box against Jacobs, and all he

1384
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:26,200
Speaker 2: did was get big yards, tough yards, and he also

1385
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 2: helps you to pass game.

1386
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:29,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that was one of the big reasons

1387
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:31,479
Speaker 4: why they drafted him in the first round the Raiders day,

1388
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 4: because they thought he was a good and pass protection

1389
01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 4: a great route runner. I don't think we've seen I

1390
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:37,360
Speaker 4: think he hasn't really developed as the rout runner as

1391
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:38,960
Speaker 4: we thought he would, But he's still a good receiver

1392
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:41,360
Speaker 4: out of the backfield. Yeah, fifteen touchdowns on the ground,

1393
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:45,040
Speaker 4: fourteen hundred yards rushing. All due respect to Christian McCaffrey,

1394
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:46,400
Speaker 4: but this is kind of like one of those All

1395
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 4: Star Legacy selection situations where it's like he's being put

1396
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:52,559
Speaker 4: high up on this list based on past performance, not

1397
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:55,400
Speaker 4: based on his current production. I got nothing against Christian

1398
01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 4: and if he's healthy, to your point, he's phenomenal. He

1399
01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:00,160
Speaker 4: just hasn't been like the last three or four years.

1400
01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:03,559
Speaker 4: He's been really banged up. Not his fault, but there's

1401
01:11:03,560 --> 01:11:04,400
Speaker 4: no way I could put him on.

1402
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:08,560
Speaker 3: I'm with you. So you got Jacobs.

1403
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:13,400
Speaker 2: We would have Jacobs at five, correct, Now my number

1404
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:16,280
Speaker 2: six isn't even on their top ten.

1405
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:19,040
Speaker 3: Really, yeah, so we'll get to that.

1406
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:22,160
Speaker 2: We'll get that in a minute, Okay, But they have

1407
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:24,799
Speaker 2: Anthony McCaffrey and Jacobs.

1408
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:28,240
Speaker 3: They have Jonathan Taylor, who I mean I like.

1409
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:33,400
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a he's an elite like sweet back

1410
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:33,960
Speaker 2: man like.

1411
01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:35,080
Speaker 4: I think he's underrated.

1412
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:37,840
Speaker 3: To be honest, I do too. He's another one that

1413
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:39,439
Speaker 3: got hampered by the quarterback position.

1414
01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:44,519
Speaker 2: Correct, Yes, Now he's in and out sometimes, so yeah,

1415
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:46,400
Speaker 2: I mean issue.

1416
01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:48,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, Taylor's one of those guys who gets your twenty

1417
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:50,439
Speaker 4: carries for sixty yards one week and then have eighteen

1418
01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:52,800
Speaker 4: characters for two hundred and twenty yards the next. So

1419
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:55,840
Speaker 4: that is true? Now is that him or is at

1420
01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:59,519
Speaker 4: a product of the offense, the offensive line, the quarterback situation,

1421
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:01,680
Speaker 4: which is much better this year, to be honest with you,

1422
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:04,240
Speaker 4: if Daniel Jones is going to be starting, so he's

1423
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:06,439
Speaker 4: gonna have that working against him again for another year.

1424
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:08,840
Speaker 4: But I think, uh, just if we were to just

1425
01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:12,679
Speaker 4: take it equal from a talent perspective, Jonathan Taylor should

1426
01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:14,719
Speaker 4: be in the top five for me, to be honest with.

1427
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:20,559
Speaker 3: You, Yeah, I wouldn't argue. I wouldn't argue like.

1428
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:23,840
Speaker 4: Taylor Josh Jacobs. I feel like I can go, you know,

1429
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:25,760
Speaker 4: talk to me on Tuesday, could be one guy, talk

1430
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:27,280
Speaker 4: to me on Wednesday, could be the other guy. That's

1431
01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:29,120
Speaker 4: how close I think it is with those two.

1432
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 2: For me, Yeah, I have no issue with that and

1433
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:35,920
Speaker 2: none now my guy, I'll tell you just because I

1434
01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:40,120
Speaker 2: teased it. But I love Bucky Irvin.

1435
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:42,960
Speaker 3: I love him.

1436
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:48,479
Speaker 2: Now. Does he belong here yet? I like to me

1437
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:52,160
Speaker 2: he's I guess I'm more of a projection here.

1438
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, you have his potential, but not necessarily dude.

1439
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:56,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's good.

1440
01:12:57,040 --> 01:12:59,800
Speaker 2: Like when he took over last year that outfits went,

1441
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:01,280
Speaker 2: it went to a different gear.

1442
01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 4: It really did. Yeah, I yeah, And consider the guys

1443
01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:07,640
Speaker 4: who are on the list who have fallen off, like

1444
01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:10,080
Speaker 4: I don't think Joe Mixon is the same player, Ala

1445
01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:13,559
Speaker 4: Kamaras had injury issues. Now, James Cook had a good

1446
01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:15,840
Speaker 4: year last year, but top ten running back in the league,

1447
01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:16,880
Speaker 4: I don't think, Nah, I don't.

1448
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:24,080
Speaker 2: I mean again, I like James Cook, but he's lumbering, right,

1449
01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:28,599
Speaker 2: He's he's not he doesn't have breakaway, he's not going

1450
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:29,240
Speaker 2: to break away.

1451
01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:31,120
Speaker 3: He's grind you out back.

1452
01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:33,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's nothing special about him, and that's find you

1453
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 4: need guys like that.

1454
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:37,320
Speaker 3: So yeah, agree, you know, yes, yes, But I mean.

1455
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:38,680
Speaker 4: I look at guys who are like Eve though on

1456
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:40,840
Speaker 4: the honorable mentions, less like Bucky Irving, I will put

1457
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:43,000
Speaker 4: ahead of him. Brice Hall didn't have the greatest year

1458
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:45,439
Speaker 4: last year, but I think Breeze Hall is a top

1459
01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:49,000
Speaker 4: ten back if if, if he's healthy and things are right. So,

1460
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:50,760
Speaker 4: I mean there's a couple of guys who who missed

1461
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:53,240
Speaker 4: the cut who I think deserve to be on that list.

1462
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:57,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I look at Bucky Irving and I like,

1463
01:13:57,320 --> 01:13:59,519
Speaker 2: he's no one catch the ball out of backfield right,

1464
01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:02,480
Speaker 2: he can run in between the tackles.

1465
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:06,559
Speaker 3: He's a home run hitter, he's fast man, he's quick.

1466
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:10,040
Speaker 2: I love that kid man. I'm a big Bucky Irving fan.

1467
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:13,240
Speaker 2: All right, let's say quick tillo, We'll come back.

1468
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:14,240
Speaker 3: And we'll do another position.

1469
01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:19,120
Speaker 2: How about Fun's this like, I got some gidea up,

1470
01:14:19,479 --> 01:14:20,600
Speaker 2: tell a little football.

1471
01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:21,840
Speaker 4: I hear it. I love it.

01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:23,839

1481
01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:56,840
Speaker 2: let's do one more position. All right, all right, let's

1482
01:14:57,160 --> 01:14:59,519
Speaker 2: let's do. Here's what they did they did. Let's do

1483
01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:03,720
Speaker 2: tight end. Just because you mentioned and your boy B. B.

1484
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:08,640
Speaker 2: Brock Bowers easily number one, and I don't know how

1485
01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:09,559
Speaker 2: you can't argue.

1486
01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:11,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess if you want to say that it's

1487
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:13,800
Speaker 4: cheating a little bit, I do think that there there

1488
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:18,000
Speaker 4: really is a confusion between tight end and receiver. And

1489
01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:20,240
Speaker 4: there's a melding of the positions to a certain degree.

1490
01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:23,200
Speaker 4: At this point in time, brock Bowers kind of is

1491
01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:25,160
Speaker 4: more like a slot receiver more than he is a

1492
01:15:25,160 --> 01:15:27,240
Speaker 4: traditional tight end at this point in time, but he

1493
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:30,000
Speaker 4: nevertheless is a tight end. And yeah, I really think

1494
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:32,559
Speaker 4: it's hard to argue consider the production that he had

1495
01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:35,600
Speaker 4: last year as a rookie and the quarterback that he

1496
01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:38,400
Speaker 4: had to play with. I mean, just stop right there.

1497
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:41,120
Speaker 4: For him to put up eleven hundred yards receiving and

1498
01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:43,600
Speaker 4: one hundred and twelve receptions, most by any player in

1499
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 4: Raiders history, I mean, that's that's a lot to say,

1500
01:15:46,200 --> 01:15:48,200
Speaker 4: considering that you had no quarterback throwing you the ball.

1501
01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:52,200
Speaker 2: Dude, I mean that was going to be my retort

1502
01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:56,439
Speaker 2: to the people that say, wow, he's a glorified receiver. Well,

1503
01:15:56,560 --> 01:16:01,600
Speaker 2: you're still playing that spot, and to do that with

1504
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:05,800
Speaker 2: that quarterback in that situation, yeah, come on, I mean

1505
01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:06,960
Speaker 2: that's ridiculous.

1506
01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:09,400
Speaker 4: And it's not like he was exclusively in the slot.

1507
01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:11,120
Speaker 4: He did play tight to the line here and there,

1508
01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:14,040
Speaker 4: actually playing the tight in the position. So it's not

1509
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:16,640
Speaker 4: as if he's just he's a tight end and you know,

1510
01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:19,280
Speaker 4: position only and doesn't actually line up and get you know,

1511
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:21,240
Speaker 4: get dirty every now and then. He absolutely does.

1512
01:16:22,680 --> 01:16:26,120
Speaker 2: I that's with you, man, Like, I mean, come on,

1513
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:29,480
Speaker 2: I mean that dude, That dude's ridiculous.

1514
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:30,439
Speaker 3: I mean he really is.

1515
01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:33,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's incredible. He is their number one receiver as

1516
01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:35,320
Speaker 4: a tight end, without question.

1517
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:39,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, without a doubt, without a doubt. Did you

1518
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:44,160
Speaker 2: just curious Raiders wise, how'd you feel about their off season?

1519
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:45,760
Speaker 3: I liked it.

1520
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:48,519
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously bringing in Pete Carroll is the best

1521
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:51,559
Speaker 4: coach they've had in a long time, you know, bringing

1522
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:54,040
Speaker 4: an adult to the room. I think just having an

1523
01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:56,960
Speaker 4: entire restructuring of the front office with John Spytech coming

1524
01:16:56,960 --> 01:17:00,960
Speaker 4: from Tampa Bay, with Tom Brady's influence. Even though I

1525
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:03,800
Speaker 4: don't think they did a whole lot roster wise, per se,

1526
01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:06,120
Speaker 4: they actually lost a lot of guys. I didn't like

1527
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:07,760
Speaker 4: the fact that they got They lost Nate Hobbs, one

1528
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:11,640
Speaker 4: of the best slot corners in the entire league. But

1529
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:13,719
Speaker 4: I just love the outlook and the energy that Pete

1530
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 4: brings to the organization, an element of hope. Even though

1531
01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:19,720
Speaker 4: I know he's up there in age. Anybody that's been

1532
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:21,599
Speaker 4: around him and around the team says that you know,

1533
01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:24,000
Speaker 4: Pete Carroll's running around up and down in practice. They

1534
01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:26,679
Speaker 4: own the ball like he's fifty, not like he's seventy.

1535
01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:30,240
Speaker 4: So look, they're not going to win the division. Kansas

1536
01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 4: City is still the class, and I think the Chargers

1537
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:34,320
Speaker 4: are coming and Denver's improving, so they're in a very

1538
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:37,240
Speaker 4: difficult division. But I do think they're going to be

1539
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:39,439
Speaker 4: extremely competitive and they're going to be made in the

1540
01:17:39,479 --> 01:17:41,639
Speaker 4: image of Pete Carroll, which is a lot of toughness,

1541
01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:44,880
Speaker 4: and they're going to run the ball with the Ashton genty.

1542
01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:47,840
Speaker 4: So overall, I like their offseason, even though it wasn't

1543
01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:50,599
Speaker 4: probably as splashy as a lot of people would have liked.

1544
01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:54,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I listen, I agree.

1545
01:17:55,400 --> 01:18:00,000
Speaker 2: I think it was an off season to build correct right,

1546
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:04,479
Speaker 2: a foundation, right because and you could do it quickly. Yeah,

1547
01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:07,000
Speaker 2: like you could do you could. You could do it quickly.

1548
01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:09,799
Speaker 2: And when you have a Pete Carroll, you could.

1549
01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:10,280
Speaker 3: Do it quickly.

1550
01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:12,320
Speaker 2: You need to do it quickly, but you could do

1551
01:18:12,439 --> 01:18:14,880
Speaker 2: it because first of all, it'll get it skip some

1552
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:19,920
Speaker 2: steps and he'll be because he'll he'll like move the

1553
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:23,280
Speaker 2: process along. But you have to have a foundation in

1554
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:24,840
Speaker 2: the roster to do that.

1555
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:27,160
Speaker 4: And I don't think in loo Geno Smith is not

1556
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:29,320
Speaker 4: like the quarterback of the future that it leads to

1557
01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:32,559
Speaker 4: the Promised Land. But he's at least he's above average

1558
01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:35,800
Speaker 4: NFL quarterback, which is something they have lacked for years. So, right,

1559
01:18:36,720 --> 01:18:39,120
Speaker 4: so they at least it gives them a fighting chance.

1560
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:42,759
Speaker 4: You have a NFL level, an NFL caliber starting quarterback

1561
01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:43,400
Speaker 4: behind center.

1562
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:48,200
Speaker 3: All right, then they go Kiddle, which is I agree.

1563
01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:49,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, no argument's there.

1564
01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:51,320
Speaker 3: Now this is where it.

1565
01:18:51,320 --> 01:18:55,760
Speaker 2: Gets weird, Yeah, because there's so many of these tight ends,

1566
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:59,320
Speaker 2: these kids that have a lot of ability, but either

1567
01:18:59,400 --> 01:19:03,920
Speaker 2: injury or situation. So Sam Laporta, who I love. I

1568
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 2: mean when he's healthy, yeah, I mean he's a true

1569
01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:10,800
Speaker 2: tight end. Real he's will catch everything and he's a

1570
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:11,439
Speaker 2: good blocker.

1571
01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:14,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, but his rookie season was phenomenal, but last year

1572
01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 4: was like what happened. Now, He's still had I think

1573
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:21,120
Speaker 4: like seven hundred you know yards receiving a little bit,

1574
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:23,080
Speaker 4: but even when he was healthy, he just wasn't He

1575
01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:25,760
Speaker 4: wasn't targeted as much and have as many touchdown receptions.

1576
01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:28,280
Speaker 4: The Lions were still fine as a team, obviously, but

1577
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:31,280
Speaker 4: his individual production went down, which might not doesn't necessarily

1578
01:19:31,280 --> 01:19:34,920
Speaker 4: be his fault. But he did take I guess a

1579
01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:36,680
Speaker 4: little from a production standpoint, a little bit of a

1580
01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:38,360
Speaker 4: half step back, right.

1581
01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:41,519
Speaker 3: I guess he had that knee thing.

1582
01:19:41,640 --> 01:19:42,760
Speaker 4: He did have a knee at one point.

1583
01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:45,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that messed him up a little bit.

1584
01:19:45,880 --> 01:19:48,600
Speaker 2: Well, but between that and the fact that they have

1585
01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:51,320
Speaker 2: too many options, yeah, you know.

1586
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:53,599
Speaker 4: You're not gonna have phenomenal years every year when there's

1587
01:19:53,640 --> 01:19:55,080
Speaker 4: so many guys who can get the ball, which can

1588
01:19:55,160 --> 01:19:55,800
Speaker 4: hurt other teams.

1589
01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:59,639
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, all right, Well, pauls it right here, will

1590
01:19:59,640 --> 01:20:03,599
Speaker 2: come back, can talk about it, Fellas right here Fox

Speaker 2: Sports Radio.

1592
01:20:06,160 --> 01:20:08,920
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

1595
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:27,360
Speaker 2: Radio studios. So big story. Uh, you're just joining us.

1596
01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:31,240
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball last series for the All Star Break.

1597
01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:37,120
Speaker 2: All Star Game is Tuesday in Atlanta. Cal rally two

1598
01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:41,439
Speaker 2: on ones last night, giving him thirty eight, which is

1599
01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:47,600
Speaker 2: now the second greatest first half in the history of baseball.

1600
01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:51,320
Speaker 2: He's one behind Barry Bonds. He's got two games, Figgie,

1601
01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:54,240
Speaker 2: he could tie it, absolutely can't or beat it.

1602
01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:55,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1603
01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:58,519
Speaker 4: Well, he hit two last night, so who says again

1604
01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:01,360
Speaker 4: need some more today? And Tom Moor, why not? The

1605
01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:04,160
Speaker 4: way that he's going this season, Uh, it really is

1606
01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:06,400
Speaker 4: something for the ages and it's something to witness. I

1607
01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:08,160
Speaker 4: like I said in the first hour of the show,

1608
01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:10,680
Speaker 4: I'm really excited to see where he takes this. And

1609
01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:12,519
Speaker 4: I think it's really good for Major League Baseball to

1610
01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:15,719
Speaker 4: have a relative unknown kind of come out of nowhere

1611
01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:16,839
Speaker 4: make a name for himself.

1612
01:21:18,200 --> 01:21:22,920
Speaker 3: Can you let's talk about it. Are you enjoying this season?

1613
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:24,400
Speaker 5: Like?

1614
01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:24,719
Speaker 3: Where?

1615
01:21:24,720 --> 01:21:24,960
Speaker 5: Where?

1616
01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:25,280
Speaker 3: Where?

1617
01:21:25,280 --> 01:21:25,559
Speaker 5: Where?

1618
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:26,200
Speaker 3: Is it? Like?

1619
01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:29,680
Speaker 2: In relations? It just a normal season for you? You

1620
01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 2: enjoy it more or less?

1621
01:21:31,439 --> 01:21:31,720
Speaker 3: Is there?

1622
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:36,240
Speaker 2: Like if I said to you state of baseball, what's

1623
01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 2: your answer.

1624
01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:39,559
Speaker 4: I'd say the state of baseball baseball is relatively healthy.

1625
01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:41,800
Speaker 4: I don't feel like I'm enjoying it any more or

1626
01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:44,040
Speaker 4: less than I have in years past. I'd say it's

1627
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:47,160
Speaker 4: it's about on par with where it has been. I

1628
01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:49,120
Speaker 4: will say, as we head to the All Star Break,

1629
01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:51,160
Speaker 4: I wish there was a little bit more star power

1630
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:54,559
Speaker 4: in the home run derby, and I realized there's injuries

1631
01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:56,320
Speaker 4: like Royal Queen of Junior had to bow out for

1632
01:21:56,560 --> 01:21:59,040
Speaker 4: due to injury. So I understand that, But for just

1633
01:21:59,080 --> 01:22:02,040
Speaker 4: the season in and of itself as a whole, I

1634
01:22:02,040 --> 01:22:04,200
Speaker 4: think it's been pretty exciting. I've been pretty entertained by it.

1635
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:06,320
Speaker 4: I've had no issues with it.

1636
01:22:06,479 --> 01:22:09,439
Speaker 2: A good young talent, right, like you know, the kid

1637
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:13,360
Speaker 2: Mizerowski is really good throw on some heat.

1638
01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:15,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, and I guess because a lot of

1639
01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:17,519
Speaker 4: people have had issues with the fact that he got

1640
01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:19,920
Speaker 4: named as an All Star yesterday after pitching like twenty

1641
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:20,439
Speaker 4: innings or.

1642
01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:24,040
Speaker 2: Something like that. I liked it. Yeah, I liked it

1643
01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:25,040
Speaker 2: a lot.

1644
01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:27,160
Speaker 4: There's always been a couple of schools of thought for

1645
01:22:27,200 --> 01:22:28,680
Speaker 4: when it comes to the All Star Game. Are you

1646
01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:30,960
Speaker 4: rewarding guys for having a great first half or is

1647
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:33,519
Speaker 4: it players that you just want to see and it's

1648
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:36,200
Speaker 4: a showcase for the league. I used to fall on

1649
01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:38,160
Speaker 4: the line of I want to reward guys who are

1650
01:22:38,160 --> 01:22:40,920
Speaker 4: having great first halves of the season, But knowing the

1651
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:43,559
Speaker 4: state of baseball, especially over the last couple of decades,

1652
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:45,880
Speaker 4: I think it's all about star power. I think you

1653
01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:47,840
Speaker 4: want to put guys out there who you've heard of.

1654
01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:50,519
Speaker 4: You want to see Paul Paul Skins, you know, face off,

1655
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:53,400
Speaker 4: you know against you know, stars from the American League,

1656
01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:55,719
Speaker 4: Aaron Judge. You know, that's what you want to see,

1657
01:22:55,840 --> 01:22:57,920
Speaker 4: even if a guy's not is having a down year.

1658
01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:00,559
Speaker 4: You know you wanted to see David Orti are Jerry,

1659
01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:03,200
Speaker 4: Jared Jeter in his final year at the All Star Game,

1660
01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:05,760
Speaker 4: even if those guys didn't have the same production, because

1661
01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:08,160
Speaker 4: it's the showcase of talent. It's a it's a giant

1662
01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:11,400
Speaker 4: display of the stars of the game. And so I

1663
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:15,360
Speaker 4: think ultimately that's the most important thing. So has been

1664
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:17,080
Speaker 4: a huge and he's been a ball of fire the

1665
01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:19,360
Speaker 4: last month. I'll put him in there, right.

1666
01:23:19,240 --> 01:23:23,000
Speaker 2: And to me, you want to see guys that you

1667
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:27,400
Speaker 2: know are dynamic. So the kids dynamic. Right, So again

1668
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:31,840
Speaker 2: that's another one. Hey, let me see Misseroski go against Judge, right,

1669
01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:34,160
Speaker 2: let me see him throw, you know, a hunted Let

1670
01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:36,080
Speaker 2: me see class A at the end of the game.

1671
01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 2: Even though he's having a down year, I know he's

1672
01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 2: gonna bring it at one oh five. And so it's

1673
01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:44,519
Speaker 2: the eighth one o at one o one at the

1674
01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:46,960
Speaker 2: at the at the end of the May.

1675
01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:49,559
Speaker 3: Thinning, I want to see him pitch coming to pitch right.

1676
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:52,000
Speaker 4: Right, because that's what it's about. It's it's an ultimate

1677
01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:56,280
Speaker 4: showcase of the league's talent. The is not necessarily guys

1678
01:23:56,320 --> 01:23:57,880
Speaker 4: who are good. You want to see good players, and

1679
01:23:57,880 --> 01:24:00,240
Speaker 4: I'm final with the good players being rewarded. That's that's great.

1680
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:03,479
Speaker 4: But if you're billing me as you know, Otani and

1681
01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:06,320
Speaker 4: Judge and all these superstar players, you know, even if

1682
01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:08,040
Speaker 4: they're having a down year, you still want to see

1683
01:24:08,040 --> 01:24:10,320
Speaker 4: them on the biggest stage because that's literally the one

1684
01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:12,720
Speaker 4: day of the year there's literally nothing else in the

1685
01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:16,000
Speaker 4: sports world anybody's watching but the All Star Game. I know,

1686
01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:17,960
Speaker 4: you want to bring people in that are that are

1687
01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:18,320
Speaker 4: a draw.

1688
01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:22,120
Speaker 3: I'm with you. I'm I'm I'm completely with you.

1689
01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:25,320
Speaker 2: Like I look at it in that in that realm,

1690
01:24:25,439 --> 01:24:30,760
Speaker 2: like I go, like, go for dynamicism. I mean, let's

1691
01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:34,080
Speaker 2: go for moments. Yeah, let's let's make it. You gotta

1692
01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:35,760
Speaker 2: make it special, man, right.

1693
01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:38,320
Speaker 4: You know, well it helps grow the game too, because

1694
01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:40,000
Speaker 4: they're gonna be there are gonna be people who are

1695
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:42,760
Speaker 4: watching the game on Tuesday night who had never heard

1696
01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:44,639
Speaker 4: of Mesarowski, but they see him out there and he's

1697
01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:46,800
Speaker 4: throwing one hundred and one. It's like, oh God, all right,

1698
01:24:47,240 --> 01:24:49,839
Speaker 4: are the Brewers are playing next Friday and he's starting.

1699
01:24:50,080 --> 01:24:52,760
Speaker 4: I want to see that game, right, that's what you

1700
01:24:52,800 --> 01:24:54,400
Speaker 4: want to do. That's the kind of interest you're trying

1701
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:57,719
Speaker 4: to garner out of an exhibition like this that casual

1702
01:24:57,800 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 4: fans who don't usually see a lot of these players

1703
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:02,360
Speaker 4: are going to be able to watch. That's what you

1704
01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:02,840
Speaker 4: want to do.

1705
01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:05,280
Speaker 2: And you don't have You lost a lot when you

1706
01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:08,720
Speaker 2: went to interleague play, right, So the All Star Game

1707
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:09,960
Speaker 2: itself lost a lot.

1708
01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:12,160
Speaker 3: It did. I think it's good. It's still the.

1709
01:25:12,120 --> 01:25:14,599
Speaker 4: Best of all the professional All Star games, right, but

1710
01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:16,559
Speaker 4: it's still it's not as special as it was when

1711
01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:18,200
Speaker 4: it was when they AL and NL didn't play each

1712
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:19,480
Speaker 4: other in the regular season.

1713
01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:22,519
Speaker 2: Right, But you know what I mean, I'm for the

1714
01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:24,880
Speaker 2: interleague play, so whatever.

1715
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:27,200
Speaker 4: So'm I because I think kids and fans in certain

1716
01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:30,760
Speaker 4: markets would never get to see any perfect example, Mike

1717
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:35,000
Speaker 4: Trout's a Jersey guy, wouldn't The Philadelphia Phillies would never

1718
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:37,960
Speaker 4: be able to see Mike Trout No, if not for Innaly.

1719
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:40,599
Speaker 2: Play, you know, No, No, it's a shame because they

1720
01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:44,679
Speaker 2: they you know, even now, like you know, coming in once,

1721
01:25:44,920 --> 01:25:46,960
Speaker 2: it was still great to see him once in a

1722
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:48,160
Speaker 2: couple of years or whatever it is.

1723
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:50,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, that's a great point.

1724
01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:54,280
Speaker 2: So it's funny because I kind of feel the same

1725
01:25:54,320 --> 01:25:59,080
Speaker 2: way I think the sports. You know, I agree with

1726
01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:01,920
Speaker 2: you you said earlier, the pitch clock, I think it worked.

1727
01:26:02,680 --> 01:26:05,519
Speaker 3: I think it's it's sped up. It sped it up.

1728
01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:08,760
Speaker 3: But I mean, you know, I mean the length of

1729
01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:09,320
Speaker 3: the season.

1730
01:26:10,240 --> 01:26:12,479
Speaker 2: And I had this conversation with Phillies fans all the

1731
01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:20,400
Speaker 2: time about like very fast forward October, right and and.

1732
01:26:20,320 --> 01:26:22,400
Speaker 3: They want and I think it's you know.

1733
01:26:23,160 --> 01:26:28,360
Speaker 2: We've all been footballized, right because in football you could

1734
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:31,280
Speaker 2: go you'll know right away, like all right, Like I

1735
01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:34,080
Speaker 2: got a squad, right, like, and if I have a

1736
01:26:34,120 --> 01:26:37,559
Speaker 2: good squad, I know I'm going to be the mix, right,

1737
01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:41,360
Speaker 2: I know, I know they're's. But we in baseball you

1738
01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:44,880
Speaker 2: want this kind of guarantee when you're a good team,

1739
01:26:45,240 --> 01:26:49,640
Speaker 2: and it's impossible to give it because it's the randomness,

1740
01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:53,920
Speaker 2: the randomness of how you're playing in October.

1741
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:56,760
Speaker 3: It's impossible to foretell.

1742
01:26:57,520 --> 01:26:59,880
Speaker 4: Right, which is the exciting part about it for me,

1743
01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:03,280
Speaker 4: Like I you can have great teams like the Dodgers

1744
01:27:03,439 --> 01:27:05,880
Speaker 4: or in years past, the Yankees or the Phillies have

1745
01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:08,040
Speaker 4: the best record in all the baseball then all of

1746
01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:10,120
Speaker 4: a sudden, they get eliminated in the first round. And

1747
01:27:10,200 --> 01:27:12,439
Speaker 4: this happens all the time. It's the reason why we

1748
01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:14,920
Speaker 4: haven't had a repeat champion in twenty six years in

1749
01:27:14,960 --> 01:27:17,960
Speaker 4: Major League Baseball. It's really difficult to do. And you

1750
01:27:18,040 --> 01:27:22,240
Speaker 4: mentioned the randomness above any other sport. So the regular season,

1751
01:27:22,280 --> 01:27:23,800
Speaker 4: all you do is put in the regular season is

1752
01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:25,920
Speaker 4: put yourself in the best position possible to have a

1753
01:27:25,960 --> 01:27:29,240
Speaker 4: good playoff run. But it doesn't guarantee you anything. And

1754
01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:31,960
Speaker 4: I think that's what makes baseball so good is the

1755
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:34,280
Speaker 4: fact that you can't predict what's gonna happen. You can

1756
01:27:34,360 --> 01:27:37,680
Speaker 4: have these pseudo dynasties like the Dodgers who've been to

1757
01:27:37,720 --> 01:27:39,760
Speaker 4: a handful of World Series over the past twelve years,

1758
01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:42,320
Speaker 4: but they've only won two. You know, I think that's

1759
01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:44,160
Speaker 4: I think that's actually a good thing for the sport.

1760
01:27:44,800 --> 01:27:48,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do too, and I but also it makes

1761
01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:52,400
Speaker 2: it hard for the fan to wrap our arms around

1762
01:27:52,439 --> 01:27:53,679
Speaker 2: like what's gonna happen?

1763
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:54,439
Speaker 4: True?

1764
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:58,800
Speaker 3: And I go, could you get a bat? Like they go,

1765
01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:00,200
Speaker 3: you need a back.

1766
01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:03,479
Speaker 2: Can leverage piece, and he needed a bat and I go, yeah,

1767
01:28:03,520 --> 01:28:05,280
Speaker 2: I should. That's a lot of teams.

1768
01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:08,240
Speaker 4: Who doesn't, so that's yeah, that's right. Everybody's shopping list right,

1769
01:28:08,280 --> 01:28:09,360
Speaker 4: like like that's there.

1770
01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:13,519
Speaker 2: Everybody's looking bullpen late innings, yep, and everybody could always

1771
01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:16,680
Speaker 2: using another bat. And you go, all right, even get that,

1772
01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:19,719
Speaker 2: like I've seen the times where you got a guy

1773
01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:23,040
Speaker 2: and a hundred pence they going and got a hundred

1774
01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:26,040
Speaker 2: pence in the deadline in twenty eleven and didn't do

1775
01:28:26,160 --> 01:28:29,280
Speaker 2: anything in the playoffs. He goes to the Giants, He's like,

1776
01:28:29,360 --> 01:28:34,840
Speaker 2: mister October, I mean, dude's said, randomness of how you like,

1777
01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:35,559
Speaker 2: are you hitting?

1778
01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:39,800
Speaker 3: Are you are you hot? Like that's that's a very

1779
01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:40,360
Speaker 3: real thing.

1780
01:28:41,160 --> 01:28:44,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's just something that can't be measured. That's who's

1781
01:28:44,160 --> 01:28:46,679
Speaker 4: who's hot at the right time. You know, the talent

1782
01:28:46,760 --> 01:28:49,360
Speaker 4: gap isn't as wide as you think. And even if

1783
01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:52,479
Speaker 4: it is wide, all it takes because baseball is basically

1784
01:28:52,479 --> 01:28:54,639
Speaker 4: just an individual sport wrapped up or a team sport

1785
01:28:54,680 --> 01:28:57,000
Speaker 4: wrapped up. In individual matchups, it's the picture and it's

1786
01:28:57,000 --> 01:28:59,519
Speaker 4: the hitter. So if that picture is on on a

1787
01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:03,000
Speaker 4: given night, you can have Oltani followed by Judge, followed

1788
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:05,160
Speaker 4: by Prime a Rod followed by Bonds, and if a

1789
01:29:05,160 --> 01:29:07,320
Speaker 4: picture is on, he's more on through all of them,

1790
01:29:07,640 --> 01:29:10,840
Speaker 4: and that happens sometimes, yeah, you know, and that's something

1791
01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:13,320
Speaker 4: you can't really account for. And sometimes it's a superstar pitcher,

1792
01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:15,439
Speaker 4: you know, and sometimes it's a guy that comes out

1793
01:29:15,479 --> 01:29:15,880
Speaker 4: of nowhere.

1794
01:29:16,360 --> 01:29:18,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that's exactly it.

1795
01:29:18,880 --> 01:29:23,479
Speaker 2: So we've reached this point, which is always the like

1796
01:29:23,600 --> 01:29:27,640
Speaker 2: the deadest period of time. Yeah, right, like baseball. You know,

1797
01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:31,040
Speaker 2: everything's dark on Monday, the dog days of summer, right

1798
01:29:31,080 --> 01:29:34,680
Speaker 2: on Wednesday. Right, We've reached this point, and you know,

1799
01:29:34,760 --> 01:29:38,360
Speaker 2: which is why we're doing top ten positionless. Correct, that's

1800
01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:41,719
Speaker 2: the time in the NFL because we got to talk football.

1801
01:29:41,800 --> 01:29:43,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, we can't ask the question of whether or not

1802
01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:44,840
Speaker 4: per Ro should be in the Hall of Fame because

1803
01:29:44,880 --> 01:29:46,400
Speaker 4: that's likely going to happen now, So that's going to

1804
01:29:46,439 --> 01:29:49,280
Speaker 4: be off the table as a mid July discussion topic.

1805
01:29:49,760 --> 01:29:53,519
Speaker 2: But you know what, you know, what's interesting is this

1806
01:29:53,760 --> 01:29:59,640
Speaker 2: window over the last month, it's been about other sports,

1807
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:04,200
Speaker 2: the non traditional and I'm just curious, is there any

1808
01:30:04,280 --> 01:30:09,400
Speaker 2: other sport that you found yourself kind of cleaving too?

1809
01:30:09,479 --> 01:30:13,360
Speaker 2: So you had you got Wimbledon, right, which is going

1810
01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:17,559
Speaker 2: on now with the finals, you've had, Uh, people love

1811
01:30:17,600 --> 01:30:21,720
Speaker 2: the f one, right, the club World Cup soccer was

1812
01:30:21,760 --> 01:30:23,880
Speaker 2: in the States and the finals tomorrow.

1813
01:30:24,960 --> 01:30:26,840
Speaker 3: Uh. You got Nascar, you got golf.

1814
01:30:27,960 --> 01:30:31,400
Speaker 2: Has there been any other any other event or slash

1815
01:30:31,439 --> 01:30:36,160
Speaker 2: sport that's had you like like, because we're all like,

1816
01:30:36,160 --> 01:30:38,639
Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but until college football comes,

1817
01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:43,400
Speaker 2: I'm like, my weekends I didn't they don't revolve around

1818
01:30:43,439 --> 01:30:44,400
Speaker 2: watching games.

1819
01:30:44,960 --> 01:30:47,559
Speaker 4: Yeah. Uh oh, that's how it's been for me. So

1820
01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:49,799
Speaker 4: I have not really and it's a it's a personal

1821
01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:51,519
Speaker 4: thing for me because I have a son now and

1822
01:30:51,560 --> 01:30:53,680
Speaker 4: I'm doing a lot of things with him and some

1823
01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:55,760
Speaker 4: of his friends and my family and all that. So

1824
01:30:56,320 --> 01:30:58,719
Speaker 4: I'm kind of getting all of that in now knowing

1825
01:30:58,760 --> 01:31:01,400
Speaker 4: that it's going to be grind once football season starts.

1826
01:31:02,040 --> 01:31:02,160
Speaker 2: Uh.

1827
01:31:02,320 --> 01:31:05,040
Speaker 4: So, I've been knee deep in Major League Baseball obviously,

1828
01:31:05,400 --> 01:31:06,800
Speaker 4: but I haven't really had a lot of time to

1829
01:31:06,840 --> 01:31:08,800
Speaker 4: dive into a bunch of the other, you know, the

1830
01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:10,560
Speaker 4: other sports who were I didn't know if we called you,

1831
01:31:10,800 --> 01:31:13,040
Speaker 4: And I'm just curious, No, not really like the F

1832
01:31:13,080 --> 01:31:15,720
Speaker 4: one vibe, the F one hype. I feel like I

1833
01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:18,760
Speaker 4: missed fors for whatever reason. I know it got really

1834
01:31:18,760 --> 01:31:20,760
Speaker 4: big during COVID because it was one of the only

1835
01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:22,280
Speaker 4: sports that was still going on, and you had the

1836
01:31:22,280 --> 01:31:24,960
Speaker 4: Netflix documentary. I kind of missed the boat on jumping

1837
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:26,880
Speaker 4: on that one, so that never really brought me in.

1838
01:31:27,439 --> 01:31:27,559
Speaker 5: Uh.

1839
01:31:27,800 --> 01:31:30,800
Speaker 4: The Club World Cup is cool for sure, but I

1840
01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:32,720
Speaker 4: still am still lagging a lot when it comes to

1841
01:31:32,760 --> 01:31:35,200
Speaker 4: soccer outside of you know, the national team here and there.

1842
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:38,880
Speaker 4: So my focus really outside of family stuff at least

1843
01:31:38,880 --> 01:31:40,479
Speaker 4: when it comes to sports, has really just been Major

1844
01:31:40,560 --> 01:31:41,559
Speaker 4: League Baseball at this point.

1845
01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:42,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1846
01:31:43,040 --> 01:31:47,280
Speaker 2: And you know, it's funny because like I'm I'm in

1847
01:31:47,320 --> 01:31:50,200
Speaker 2: the same now. I like, I've really got into the

1848
01:31:51,400 --> 01:31:55,080
Speaker 2: Club World Cup soccer because the World Cup's gonna be

1849
01:31:55,320 --> 01:31:56,439
Speaker 2: unbelievable next year.

1850
01:31:56,520 --> 01:31:57,679
Speaker 4: No, it's gonna be so fun.

1851
01:31:57,760 --> 01:32:00,240
Speaker 2: And we have it in my city, so like where

1852
01:32:00,400 --> 01:32:02,360
Speaker 2: like you know so who we're amping up or work

1853
01:32:02,400 --> 01:32:06,000
Speaker 2: with all the people, and we're doing stuff on my

1854
01:32:06,120 --> 01:32:10,280
Speaker 2: network with it, and it's really interesting. Right, It's just

1855
01:32:10,600 --> 01:32:13,600
Speaker 2: got that kind of cool you know, the Internet. I

1856
01:32:13,720 --> 01:32:17,400
Speaker 2: like the way they celebrate like worst geeks, right, so

1857
01:32:17,439 --> 01:32:20,679
Speaker 2: every week we gather and we geek out and talk

1858
01:32:20,720 --> 01:32:24,360
Speaker 2: about our sports. The one thing that I think that

1859
01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:27,880
Speaker 2: they're they're they have it better than us, is they

1860
01:32:27,960 --> 01:32:34,240
Speaker 2: celebrate differently like they they chance they're wild.

1861
01:32:35,600 --> 01:32:37,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, And we got a little bit of this, uh

1862
01:32:37,920 --> 01:32:41,280
Speaker 4: in the World Baseball Classic, because baseball for years has

1863
01:32:41,320 --> 01:32:43,599
Speaker 4: just been so you know, workmen like and you're quiet,

1864
01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:45,200
Speaker 4: and you stand up and clap and you wave to

1865
01:32:45,280 --> 01:32:49,719
Speaker 4: the and when Puerto Rico or the Dominican Republic, those crowds,

1866
01:32:50,320 --> 01:32:53,280
Speaker 4: it was a soccer vibe. They're singing songs and banging

1867
01:32:53,360 --> 01:32:55,280
Speaker 4: drums and throwing confetti in the air and it's the

1868
01:32:55,280 --> 01:32:57,240
Speaker 4: middle of the third inning. Like it's like there's nothing

1869
01:32:57,640 --> 01:33:01,360
Speaker 4: necessarily special going on. There's a level of passion. Well

1870
01:33:01,360 --> 01:33:03,000
Speaker 4: when it comes to soccer too, even if you just

1871
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:06,759
Speaker 4: talk about clubs, there's just a connection between the club

1872
01:33:06,800 --> 01:33:09,599
Speaker 4: and the city. They're almost one and the same, no

1873
01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:12,559
Speaker 4: matter how bad the team is. You know, it's it's

1874
01:33:12,600 --> 01:33:15,519
Speaker 4: just a different vibe. It doesn't seem as, for lack

1875
01:33:15,560 --> 01:33:19,240
Speaker 4: of a better term, corporate, It seems like it's more personal.

1876
01:33:19,439 --> 01:33:22,280
Speaker 4: It's a feeling it has almost like the college football

1877
01:33:22,400 --> 01:33:24,479
Speaker 4: vibe is kind of is what I It would be

1878
01:33:24,520 --> 01:33:27,080
Speaker 4: the probably the closest North American comparison. I would have.

1879
01:33:27,560 --> 01:33:32,800
Speaker 2: Spot on, Yeah, spot on, spot on, But and that

1880
01:33:33,080 --> 01:33:35,000
Speaker 2: and that's why you know, it's funny because that's why

1881
01:33:36,080 --> 01:33:39,760
Speaker 2: as we should here today, we got our eye out

1882
01:33:39,800 --> 01:33:40,880
Speaker 2: because there's nothing.

1883
01:33:41,960 --> 01:33:43,840
Speaker 3: You know, I Wimbledon.

1884
01:33:44,400 --> 01:33:46,680
Speaker 2: I used to like tennis a lot more, you know,

1885
01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:48,519
Speaker 2: and I why you know, I'll probably put it on

1886
01:33:48,520 --> 01:33:52,880
Speaker 2: a little bit like and again predicated on family.

1887
01:33:52,520 --> 01:33:54,479
Speaker 4: Time, like we have to work around.

1888
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:57,200
Speaker 2: I got practice today and I got you know, I'm

1889
01:33:57,240 --> 01:34:00,639
Speaker 2: going to South Carolina and they play month day. Another

1890
01:34:00,760 --> 01:34:04,439
Speaker 2: little league stuff going on tomorrow and probably Monday Tuesday,

1891
01:34:04,520 --> 01:34:07,280
Speaker 2: and we have this other tournament for the travel baseball

1892
01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:09,800
Speaker 2: and then we start football and I helped coach that

1893
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:11,960
Speaker 2: and so you know all that stuff. But I'm just

1894
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:15,240
Speaker 2: talking about our sports fan side of us, right And

1895
01:34:15,760 --> 01:34:20,719
Speaker 2: I like, you know, tennis, I like the majors in golf,

1896
01:34:21,200 --> 01:34:24,320
Speaker 2: Joe w n b A. I just don't have time

1897
01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:27,160
Speaker 2: to devote to it. Like I I missed that, like

1898
01:34:27,720 --> 01:34:32,479
Speaker 2: when everybody jumped on the w n b A and

1899
01:34:33,880 --> 01:34:36,160
Speaker 2: I just you know, I missed it. And like you

1900
01:34:36,200 --> 01:34:39,000
Speaker 2: know how you feel like when you miss something you're

1901
01:34:39,120 --> 01:34:43,599
Speaker 2: just now you become aggressively out correct.

1902
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:45,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. That's kind of

1903
01:34:45,680 --> 01:34:48,400
Speaker 4: me on f one it like I missed, I missed

1904
01:34:48,400 --> 01:34:50,160
Speaker 4: I could have jumped on the train. It has now

1905
01:34:50,160 --> 01:34:52,639
Speaker 4: passed me by. I will never catch up, no matter

1906
01:34:52,640 --> 01:34:54,439
Speaker 4: how fast I chase after it. So you know what,

1907
01:34:54,479 --> 01:34:56,559
Speaker 4: I'm just I'm a thousand percent out of it. I

1908
01:34:56,640 --> 01:35:00,240
Speaker 4: respect it by all means. It's huge. I'm glad it

1909
01:35:00,240 --> 01:35:02,639
Speaker 4: has a giant wave of fans, but it's just it's

1910
01:35:02,680 --> 01:35:03,040
Speaker 4: not me.

1911
01:35:03,680 --> 01:35:06,040
Speaker 2: Right right, And that's kind of like that's where I'm

1912
01:35:06,080 --> 01:35:08,120
Speaker 2: at with the w NBA. I don't know where you are,

1913
01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:09,320
Speaker 2: but that's kind of where I'm at.

1914
01:35:09,360 --> 01:35:11,000
Speaker 4: I'm in and out when I'm on the W. It's

1915
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:12,920
Speaker 4: like it's one of those I know what's happening to

1916
01:35:13,080 --> 01:35:15,240
Speaker 4: on a very elementary level, but I don't follow the

1917
01:35:15,280 --> 01:35:16,920
Speaker 4: day in and day out.

1918
01:35:17,400 --> 01:35:21,160
Speaker 3: Right. It's one of those you know, I've watched some

1919
01:35:21,320 --> 01:35:25,120
Speaker 3: Summer League but I've.

1920
01:35:24,960 --> 01:35:26,800
Speaker 4: Never been a huge Summer League guy, to be honest,

1921
01:35:26,840 --> 01:35:29,360
Speaker 4: just in general, whether it's my team or not, because

1922
01:35:29,360 --> 01:35:31,080
Speaker 4: there's just very little that you can glean from it.

1923
01:35:31,560 --> 01:35:34,439
Speaker 4: I know, like I you know, I watched Cooper Flag

1924
01:35:34,520 --> 01:35:36,880
Speaker 4: and you know, like I watched that first game the

1925
01:35:36,880 --> 01:35:38,600
Speaker 4: Flag just to you know, to see him for the

1926
01:35:38,640 --> 01:35:42,920
Speaker 4: first time in a semi NBA environment. Uh, But well,

1927
01:35:43,400 --> 01:35:45,240
Speaker 4: is it gonna be appointment viewing to watch his next

1928
01:35:45,240 --> 01:35:48,120
Speaker 4: matchup whenever that is probably not. No, I have no

1929
01:35:48,160 --> 01:35:51,080
Speaker 4: idea when Dallas' next game is, and I'm probably not

1930
01:35:51,120 --> 01:35:53,840
Speaker 4: gonna sit down and make an appointment appointment viewing to

1931
01:35:53,840 --> 01:35:54,559
Speaker 4: make sure I see it.

1932
01:35:55,040 --> 01:35:58,920
Speaker 2: No important enough, No I I I'll probably I'm probably

1933
01:35:58,960 --> 01:36:03,320
Speaker 2: a little bit more then you like. I like I

1934
01:36:03,320 --> 01:36:06,599
Speaker 2: got interested in Harper, Yeah, you know, I mean these

1935
01:36:06,640 --> 01:36:11,320
Speaker 2: guys got interested, like the Sixers have sat Edgecomb because

1936
01:36:11,320 --> 01:36:14,599
Speaker 2: of the thumb right, which I still go, come on, dude,

1937
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:15,720
Speaker 2: is it a load? Man?

1938
01:36:17,120 --> 01:36:19,000
Speaker 4: Here we go with another guy with a finger injury.

1939
01:36:19,040 --> 01:36:22,000
Speaker 2: I know, I mean couple Like if it's it's an

1940
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:24,920
Speaker 2: a cool foot, I go, all right, But.

1941
01:36:25,360 --> 01:36:26,840
Speaker 4: There's an element that you don't want to push a

1942
01:36:26,840 --> 01:36:28,000
Speaker 4: guy out there in summer league.

1943
01:36:28,040 --> 01:36:30,040
Speaker 3: You know. I I agree, I don't want to be right.

1944
01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:32,720
Speaker 4: To training camp. But I'm seeing these guys in like

1945
01:36:32,800 --> 01:36:35,960
Speaker 4: training camp and preseason games agree more so than summer

1946
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:37,439
Speaker 4: league games. You know, I agree with that.

1947
01:36:37,479 --> 01:36:40,679
Speaker 2: But I but right now, like I look around before,

1948
01:36:41,080 --> 01:36:45,679
Speaker 2: here's the thing, like, once preseason comes around, you can't

1949
01:36:45,720 --> 01:36:49,080
Speaker 2: find me because I got got football going on right right,

1950
01:36:49,400 --> 01:36:51,439
Speaker 2: Like that's kind of where it is.

1951
01:36:51,880 --> 01:36:54,160
Speaker 4: That's what sucks for the NBA because there's really nowhere

1952
01:36:54,160 --> 01:36:55,000
Speaker 4: for them to find their.

1953
01:36:55,479 --> 01:36:56,840
Speaker 3: I gotta I gotta ask you.

1954
01:36:57,120 --> 01:36:59,080
Speaker 2: And for the life of me, I don't know why

1955
01:37:00,280 --> 01:37:03,160
Speaker 2: they opted to go back to this schedule because they

1956
01:37:03,200 --> 01:37:06,479
Speaker 2: had a DA had it done after COVID. Why in

1957
01:37:06,520 --> 01:37:10,439
Speaker 2: the world, I just don't understand this. You should start

1958
01:37:10,640 --> 01:37:16,000
Speaker 2: the NBA season on MLK Day. It's the perfect day

1959
01:37:16,040 --> 01:37:19,920
Speaker 2: to launch the league. It's a holiday, it's a Monday.

1960
01:37:20,560 --> 01:37:23,920
Speaker 2: It's your day, all right. You just saw you got

1961
01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:28,680
Speaker 2: overtaken by Christmas, all right? Like the NFL. Wait, yeah,

1962
01:37:28,800 --> 01:37:33,559
Speaker 2: you can't do New Year's you got you know college football, right,

1963
01:37:34,360 --> 01:37:37,519
Speaker 2: MLK Day. It's a Monday, start of a week, and

1964
01:37:37,600 --> 01:37:41,880
Speaker 2: make it special. Everybody plays right now. You start the

1965
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:45,759
Speaker 2: season then and then you own this summer. Like right now,

1966
01:37:46,240 --> 01:37:50,760
Speaker 2: we wouldn't be talking about F one Wimbledon, we'd be

1967
01:37:50,840 --> 01:37:52,080
Speaker 2: talking NBA.

1968
01:37:51,800 --> 01:37:54,120
Speaker 4: And basically because the ABA is about an eight and

1969
01:37:54,160 --> 01:37:57,120
Speaker 4: a half months season if you count the postseason, so

1970
01:37:57,200 --> 01:37:59,080
Speaker 4: you'd be at the tail end of the regular season

1971
01:37:59,120 --> 01:38:00,920
Speaker 4: at this point in time, but gear up for the postseason.

1972
01:38:01,360 --> 01:38:04,559
Speaker 4: So it makes sense. To be honest with you, I know,

1973
01:38:04,640 --> 01:38:07,040
Speaker 4: A big issue back in the day, was that, Well,

1974
01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:09,960
Speaker 4: you know, the NBA, it's an indoors It's not that

1975
01:38:10,040 --> 01:38:12,200
Speaker 4: you know, people don't want to be inside. It's summer.

1976
01:38:12,240 --> 01:38:13,880
Speaker 4: You want to be out best why baseball is a

1977
01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:16,840
Speaker 4: summer sport. But at a certain point in time, you

1978
01:38:16,880 --> 01:38:18,960
Speaker 4: know you're trying to fight for your position, You're trying

1979
01:38:18,960 --> 01:38:21,120
Speaker 4: to fight for your lot in the sports world. You're

1980
01:38:21,160 --> 01:38:24,280
Speaker 4: losing to college football, you're losing to the NFL. The

1981
01:38:24,320 --> 01:38:26,559
Speaker 4: start of your season is losing to Major League Baseball's

1982
01:38:26,560 --> 01:38:29,559
Speaker 4: postseason in October or in early November for the World Series.

1983
01:38:30,360 --> 01:38:32,519
Speaker 4: So it makes a lot of sense to me. I

1984
01:38:32,520 --> 01:38:35,000
Speaker 4: don't think they'll ever do it, but if you want

1985
01:38:35,040 --> 01:38:37,240
Speaker 4: to fight for your own spot, that would be the

1986
01:38:37,240 --> 01:38:38,680
Speaker 4: time to do it. And then if you need to

1987
01:38:38,680 --> 01:38:40,960
Speaker 4: take an Olympic break every four years and so be it.

1988
01:38:41,920 --> 01:38:44,280
Speaker 4: But it makes the most sense to me for your plan.

1989
01:38:44,320 --> 01:38:46,920
Speaker 4: I hadn't heard that before. Most people say Christmas Day,

1990
01:38:47,280 --> 01:38:49,519
Speaker 4: But the problem is Christmas Day, to your point, the

1991
01:38:49,640 --> 01:38:52,000
Speaker 4: NFL takes it over and you're still you're at the

1992
01:38:52,120 --> 01:38:54,519
Speaker 4: very end of the the NFL regular season, so you're

1993
01:38:54,520 --> 01:38:56,840
Speaker 4: still going to be engulfed by that. So it's best

1994
01:38:56,840 --> 01:38:59,920
Speaker 4: to just wait, you wait until Mlkday. You're in the MLB,

1995
01:39:00,200 --> 01:39:03,120
Speaker 4: or you're in the NFL playoffs, you're in the college

1996
01:39:03,120 --> 01:39:05,840
Speaker 4: football playoff. It's a nice way warm up to get

1997
01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:08,679
Speaker 4: your juices flowing for the start of the NBA season.

1998
01:39:08,720 --> 01:39:13,920
Speaker 2: That makes I mean, you could do a whole Gough

1999
01:39:14,080 --> 01:39:18,320
Speaker 2: week and make it fun, make the regular season interesting.

2000
01:39:18,720 --> 01:39:21,080
Speaker 2: And then the other thing I think, like like used

2001
01:39:21,120 --> 01:39:24,960
Speaker 2: to be, like you said before, summertime was never a

2002
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:30,040
Speaker 2: time for TV watching, so nobody wanted to be on

2003
01:39:30,479 --> 01:39:35,799
Speaker 2: in the summer, right, But that's changed, vices having everything

2004
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:39,040
Speaker 2: available and all the time. Our culture, which is so

2005
01:39:39,240 --> 01:39:43,439
Speaker 2: sports heavy, has changed. There's a demand for something else

2006
01:39:43,479 --> 01:39:47,040
Speaker 2: in the summer. And you put hoops next to baseball,

2007
01:39:47,280 --> 01:39:50,559
Speaker 2: it'll work. And look, you know it's it isn't It

2008
01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:53,520
Speaker 2: is a summer game, right, even though you're playing indoors.

2009
01:39:54,040 --> 01:39:57,040
Speaker 2: Who it's not like it's hockey where hockey needs to be,

2010
01:39:57,600 --> 01:39:59,920
Speaker 2: you know, in the in the fall over winter.

2011
01:40:00,920 --> 01:40:03,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, anything, it's like, hey, you know what, I'm sweating

2012
01:40:03,280 --> 01:40:05,280
Speaker 4: my ass off here in the middle of July. Let's

2013
01:40:05,320 --> 01:40:07,320
Speaker 4: go to an air conditioned basketball stadium.

2014
01:40:07,640 --> 01:40:11,320
Speaker 2: Exactly are you kidding me? I mean, you know, I don't.

2015
01:40:11,880 --> 01:40:14,080
Speaker 2: For the life of me, I don't. And then you

2016
01:40:14,200 --> 01:40:16,160
Speaker 2: run the and you can have the finals go on

2017
01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:18,280
Speaker 2: right around Labor Day.

2018

01:42:50,479 --> 01:42:52,120
Speaker 2: NBA in summertime.

2071
01:42:52,800 --> 01:42:54,960

01:43:16,479 --> 01:43:18,400
Speaker 4: one wanted to do anything during the summer because they

2080
01:43:18,400 --> 01:43:20,519
Speaker 4: didn't think they get eyeball because people are traveling and

2081
01:43:20,560 --> 01:43:23,360
Speaker 4: doing a bunch of things. But within travel got people

2082

01:43:45,800 --> 01:43:47,200
Speaker 4: turn the TV on and you can watch it while

2091
01:43:47,200 --> 01:43:50,240
Speaker 4: you're on vacation. Like the world is different now than

2094
01:43:56,640 --> 01:43:57,519
Speaker 4: no matter where you are.

2095
01:43:58,320 --> 01:44:01,639
Speaker 2: And by the way, out with most of this country,

2096
01:44:02,240 --> 01:44:05,760
Speaker 2: the weather in the summer is horrendous, right right, Like

2097
01:44:06,320 --> 01:44:09,200
Speaker 2: it's either like like, if you're in Phoenix, do you

2098
01:44:09,200 --> 01:44:11,280
Speaker 2: want to go to what Sun's game? Or you want

2099
01:44:11,320 --> 01:44:14,360
Speaker 2: to sit out and fry at one hundred and eighteen

2100
01:44:14,360 --> 01:44:14,920
Speaker 2: degree weather?

2101
01:44:15,080 --> 01:44:17,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're staying at home anyway, of course you're you're

2102
01:44:17,400 --> 01:44:19,840
Speaker 4: doing whatever you're doing, it's going to be indoors. So

2103
01:44:20,479 --> 01:44:22,360
Speaker 4: and if you're gonna be indoors, chances art is probably

2104
01:44:22,400 --> 01:44:24,200
Speaker 4: gonna be a TV and maybe some of some beverages

2105
01:44:24,280 --> 01:44:24,519
Speaker 4: or two.

2106
01:44:24,600 --> 01:44:24,880
Speaker 3: You know that.

2107
01:44:25,560 --> 01:44:29,800
Speaker 2: I mean truthfully, the best weather now is in the

2108
01:44:29,880 --> 01:44:32,519
Speaker 2: spring and fall the fall, right, No, right, Like you

2109
01:44:32,520 --> 01:44:36,120
Speaker 2: know what's best time going to Florida. You'll go to

2110
01:44:36,160 --> 01:44:40,599
Speaker 2: Florida spring and fall. Man, it's the best, Like you

2111
01:44:40,640 --> 01:44:45,240
Speaker 2: think about you know the weather period. I mean, if

2112
01:44:45,280 --> 01:44:49,120
Speaker 2: you're on vacation, Hey, that's the sports has become a

2113
01:44:49,160 --> 01:44:53,960
Speaker 2: family thing, right, It's it's it's something you do together.

2114
01:44:54,240 --> 01:44:58,120
Speaker 3: You don't watch TV. There are no shop like I don't.

2115
01:44:57,960 --> 01:45:01,880
Speaker 2: Know, like you're young, your young family, but I don't

2116
01:45:01,920 --> 01:45:06,800
Speaker 2: know many families that watch shows together.

2117
01:45:06,800 --> 01:45:08,240
Speaker 3: They watch sports together.

2118
01:45:08,560 --> 01:45:11,360
Speaker 4: Right, And because the families are and I don't say

2119
01:45:11,360 --> 01:45:14,400
Speaker 4: this in a bad way, but fractured because mom's watching

2120
01:45:14,439 --> 01:45:16,559
Speaker 4: one thing and the dad's watching something and the kids

2121
01:45:16,600 --> 01:45:19,120
Speaker 4: in the corner on his iPad watching something else, all

2122
01:45:19,160 --> 01:45:22,280
Speaker 4: on three separate streaming platforms. Like it's that's just the

2123
01:45:22,320 --> 01:45:25,040
Speaker 4: world that we live in now. Because back back in

2124
01:45:25,080 --> 01:45:28,160
Speaker 4: the day, when you add five networks and must see

2125
01:45:28,200 --> 01:45:31,040
Speaker 4: Thursday and whatever it was and this on Monday night,

2126
01:45:31,320 --> 01:45:33,600
Speaker 4: there was nothing else on, so you kind of had

2127
01:45:33,640 --> 01:45:35,120
Speaker 4: to huddle around and do it that way. You don't

2128
01:45:35,120 --> 01:45:37,200
Speaker 4: have to do that now now that everything's on demand

2129
01:45:37,880 --> 01:45:40,320
Speaker 4: and everybody have different has different interests that could be

2130
01:45:40,400 --> 01:45:42,720
Speaker 4: tapped in any way, shape and form on all these

2131
01:45:42,720 --> 01:45:46,400
Speaker 4: different apps. You know, everybody can do whatever they want.

2132
01:45:46,400 --> 01:45:48,599
Speaker 4: They caters to them. But if you are sports fans,

2133
01:45:48,880 --> 01:45:51,479
Speaker 4: if you are all ego fans, that's one thing you

2134
01:45:51,520 --> 01:45:53,800
Speaker 4: guys can all come together on and watch together as

2135
01:45:53,840 --> 01:45:56,280
Speaker 4: a as a unit that's pretty much the only thing

2136
01:45:56,360 --> 01:45:58,280
Speaker 4: left that you can do. That's when it comes to

2137
01:45:58,360 --> 01:45:58,880
Speaker 4: TV viewing.

2138
01:45:59,200 --> 01:46:04,360
Speaker 2: Yes, family unit is is built around sports. Now, I'm

2139
01:46:04,400 --> 01:46:09,840
Speaker 2: telling you, I see it. And the only one who

2140
01:46:09,920 --> 01:46:14,120
Speaker 2: gets it is the NFL. The NFL is the only

2141
01:46:14,360 --> 01:46:20,040
Speaker 2: entity that understands this. I truly believe. I don't I

2142
01:46:20,080 --> 01:46:23,120
Speaker 2: don't know why these other these other sports just don't

2143
01:46:23,280 --> 01:46:23,920
Speaker 2: understand it.

2144
01:46:25,280 --> 01:46:27,840
Speaker 3: They don't like like the NBA.

2145
01:46:28,000 --> 01:46:33,040
Speaker 2: Again, the NBA, it screams like, you imagine what you

2146
01:46:33,040 --> 01:46:35,360
Speaker 2: could do on a July you have everybody play July

2147
01:46:35,520 --> 01:46:41,559
Speaker 2: four and we celebrate America and we have July four unis, right,

2148
01:46:42,080 --> 01:46:44,880
Speaker 2: And so you're down the beach and yeah, you might

2149
01:46:44,920 --> 01:46:47,120
Speaker 2: be able to beach during today or whatever you're doing,

2150
01:46:47,520 --> 01:46:50,439
Speaker 2: but you're checking the game and you're everybody's gonna get

2151
01:46:50,439 --> 01:46:53,720
Speaker 2: together and people be watching together, and wow, I'm gonna

2152
01:46:53,720 --> 01:46:56,680
Speaker 2: know Junie's like, could you imagine they're gonna they'll have

2153
01:46:56,720 --> 01:47:01,719
Speaker 2: the July America Special and every team had July fourth

2154
01:47:01,840 --> 01:47:03,559
Speaker 2: take on it on your unis.

2155
01:47:03,640 --> 01:47:06,160
Speaker 4: That'd be cool. I guess the only the only pushback

2156
01:47:06,200 --> 01:47:08,080
Speaker 4: to it would be And maybe this is just the

2157
01:47:08,160 --> 01:47:10,400
Speaker 4: NBA's response to Well, the NFL did it to us

2158
01:47:10,920 --> 01:47:14,479
Speaker 4: if the NBA is mooching on Major League Baseball's you

2159
01:47:14,520 --> 01:47:18,600
Speaker 4: know spot, because Baseball usually owns the summer, and now

2160
01:47:18,640 --> 01:47:20,280
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, here comes to the NBA. So

2161
01:47:20,360 --> 01:47:24,040
Speaker 4: now you're now ejected yourself from a fight with the NFL,

2162
01:47:24,080 --> 01:47:26,280
Speaker 4: but now you're injecting yourself into a fight with Major

2163
01:47:26,320 --> 01:47:29,120
Speaker 4: League Baseball. And unlike the NFL, where it's a couple

2164
01:47:29,160 --> 01:47:31,760
Speaker 4: of days a week, I mean, Baseball is in everyday sport.

2165
01:47:31,920 --> 01:47:34,240
Speaker 4: Basketball is in everyday sport to a certain degree. Every

2166
01:47:34,280 --> 01:47:36,040
Speaker 4: team plays, you know, three games a week, four games

2167
01:47:36,080 --> 01:47:40,760
Speaker 4: a week, So that that dynamic could be interesting because now,

2168
01:47:40,880 --> 01:47:43,720
Speaker 4: depending on the city that you're in, you're fracturing fan

2169
01:47:43,800 --> 01:47:46,320
Speaker 4: bases because now I have to choose, am I going

2170
01:47:46,360 --> 01:47:48,080
Speaker 4: to see the Sixers or am I going to see

2171
01:47:48,080 --> 01:47:50,320
Speaker 4: the Phillies. Am I going to see the Lakers the Clippers?

2172
01:47:50,400 --> 01:47:52,560
Speaker 4: Or am I going to see the Angels or the Dodgers?

2173
01:47:52,720 --> 01:47:54,760
Speaker 4: And maybe that's maybe that's part of the equation too.

2174
01:47:54,800 --> 01:47:57,920
Speaker 4: I'm not sure. Yeah, I don't know. I don't I

2175
01:47:57,920 --> 01:48:00,519
Speaker 4: don't see that really as that big of this year.

2176
01:48:00,640 --> 01:48:04,559
Speaker 2: No, nah, I mean I get your point, because it's

2177
01:48:04,600 --> 01:48:07,800
Speaker 2: still an entertainment dollar that you're looking at.

2178
01:48:08,960 --> 01:48:13,200
Speaker 3: But ultimately, you know, you.

2179
01:48:13,200 --> 01:48:15,360
Speaker 4: Just want if an entertainment dollars gonna eat into itself

2180
01:48:15,360 --> 01:48:17,519
Speaker 4: because there are people who are diehard Laker fans and

2181
01:48:17,560 --> 01:48:20,040
Speaker 4: diehard Dodger fans, and if I told them you gotta

2182
01:48:20,080 --> 01:48:22,759
Speaker 4: pick one, it might be hard for some people.

2183
01:48:23,400 --> 01:48:25,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, you know how it is, like

2184
01:48:25,520 --> 01:48:28,920
Speaker 2: you could you if it's not playoffs, right, if it's

2185
01:48:29,000 --> 01:48:32,440
Speaker 2: Lakers playoffs, They're gonna take Lakers playoffs over Dodgers playoffs.

2186
01:48:32,520 --> 01:48:33,240
Speaker 4: Yeah what yeah?

2187
01:48:33,320 --> 01:48:33,479
Speaker 3: Right?

2188
01:48:33,560 --> 01:48:36,000
Speaker 4: Which is how this always worked well. The crossover. Now

2189
01:48:36,040 --> 01:48:37,639
Speaker 4: that's how it works. It's like the people that would

2190
01:48:37,640 --> 01:48:40,080
Speaker 4: go to, you know, a Laker game will just or

2191
01:48:40,120 --> 01:48:41,680
Speaker 4: a Dodger playoff game will say, you know what, I

2192
01:48:41,680 --> 01:48:44,800
Speaker 4: can miss the Lakers first, you know, five seven games

2193
01:48:44,800 --> 01:48:47,080
Speaker 4: of the regular season while I'm riding out the Dodger

2194
01:48:47,080 --> 01:48:51,240
Speaker 4: postseason run. It's different if both leagues are knee deep

2195
01:48:51,439 --> 01:48:53,920
Speaker 4: in the middle of their regular seasons at the exact

2196
01:48:53,960 --> 01:48:56,080
Speaker 4: same time. I think that makes it just a little

2197
01:48:56,120 --> 01:48:58,400
Speaker 4: bit tougher of a proposition. It actually makes it easier

2198
01:48:59,040 --> 01:49:01,000
Speaker 4: if once if one league is in a postseason and

2199
01:49:01,040 --> 01:49:02,960
Speaker 4: the others in the regular season, the decision is almost

2200
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:03,519
Speaker 4: made for you.

2201
01:49:03,840 --> 01:49:06,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, point yeah, And I guess I don't know.

2202
01:49:06,880 --> 01:49:10,080
Speaker 2: I would run the season and I would have the

2203
01:49:10,080 --> 01:49:14,959
Speaker 2: finals end, uh like around Labor Day, right, so that weekend,

2204
01:49:15,560 --> 01:49:19,000
Speaker 2: which I don't know, what's what's the problem that they

2205
01:49:19,160 --> 01:49:23,599
Speaker 2: run through Memorial Day and into June, Like why not

2206
01:49:23,760 --> 01:49:26,000
Speaker 2: just go into go into Labor Day?

2207
01:49:26,960 --> 01:49:27,200
Speaker 3: Yeah?

2208
01:49:27,320 --> 01:49:29,600
Speaker 4: Look, it makes sense, you know, especially again if you

2209
01:49:29,600 --> 01:49:31,960
Speaker 4: want to if you're continually getting muscled out by college

2210
01:49:31,960 --> 01:49:34,280
Speaker 4: football in the NFL and want to find your own space.

2211
01:49:34,680 --> 01:49:38,120
Speaker 4: I'll say this, I would like my chances better against

2212
01:49:38,120 --> 01:49:40,800
Speaker 4: Major League Baseball than I would against against football. So

2213
01:49:41,680 --> 01:49:43,680
Speaker 4: if you're if you're just talking about how the how

2214
01:49:43,720 --> 01:49:46,920
Speaker 4: the matchup stacks up, that makes the most sense to me.

2215
01:49:47,840 --> 01:49:49,680
Speaker 4: So I will take my chances in going ahead to

2216
01:49:49,680 --> 01:49:52,280
Speaker 4: a with Major League Baseball my regular season versus theirs.

2217
01:49:52,720 --> 01:49:54,400
Speaker 4: Then the NFL going up against mine.

2218
01:49:54,880 --> 01:49:58,040
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, you know you know what you know? I

2219
01:49:58,120 --> 01:50:03,800
Speaker 2: just saw that. Chefty just had a tweet the Chargers

2220
01:50:03,920 --> 01:50:05,479
Speaker 2: rookies report today.

2221
01:50:05,680 --> 01:50:06,919
Speaker 4: I did see that earlier.

2222
01:50:09,479 --> 01:50:11,439
Speaker 3: Dude. All right, yeah, there.

2223
01:50:11,720 --> 01:50:14,000
Speaker 4: The Hall of Fame game practices are now starting. That's

2224
01:50:14,000 --> 01:50:16,160
Speaker 4: what it is for the Hall of Fame Game participants.

2225
01:50:16,240 --> 01:50:21,200
Speaker 3: Y yes, yes, yes, I mean I like the Charges

2226
01:50:21,240 --> 01:50:21,519
Speaker 3: this year.

2227
01:50:21,560 --> 01:50:25,280
Speaker 4: By the way, Oh, I think they'll be amazing. Some

2228
01:50:25,320 --> 01:50:27,160
Speaker 4: people are still concerned about the fact that they didn't

2229
01:50:27,200 --> 01:50:29,760
Speaker 4: necessarily address the receiver position as much as they could have.

2230
01:50:30,320 --> 01:50:33,040
Speaker 4: But amrio on Hampton, I love. I think he's going

2231
01:50:33,080 --> 01:50:36,600
Speaker 4: to be amazing for them, Harbaugh and your two defensively,

2232
01:50:36,640 --> 01:50:38,680
Speaker 4: I think they're going to be better. It would not

2233
01:50:38,720 --> 01:50:40,320
Speaker 4: surprise me at all. And I feel like I've been

2234
01:50:40,360 --> 01:50:42,280
Speaker 4: saying this for three years now if the Chargers win

2235
01:50:42,360 --> 01:50:47,760
Speaker 4: the AFC West, but at least I agree.

2236
01:50:48,160 --> 01:50:54,160
Speaker 2: I agree now can't see Kansas City, so whatever, but

2237
01:50:54,520 --> 01:50:59,240
Speaker 2: I'm with you. Although did you see uh this talk

2238
01:50:59,240 --> 01:51:00,719
Speaker 2: about my home being fat?

2239
01:51:01,040 --> 01:51:01,680
Speaker 3: I don't know.

2240
01:51:01,800 --> 01:51:07,200
Speaker 2: That's so ridiculous, Like why where did that come from?

2241
01:51:07,320 --> 01:51:09,439
Speaker 4: From this Kansas City radio host? And I don't know

2242
01:51:09,439 --> 01:51:10,760
Speaker 4: what he looks like, so I don't want to make

2243
01:51:10,840 --> 01:51:13,080
Speaker 4: you know, fun of his comparisons forget it.

2244
01:51:13,120 --> 01:51:15,280
Speaker 2: But like he's not fat, Like I sell the picture

2245
01:51:15,400 --> 01:51:17,680
Speaker 2: like what are you knuts? No, I expect like you

2246
01:51:17,720 --> 01:51:19,759
Speaker 2: put all like forty pounds right, and I'm.

2247
01:51:19,560 --> 01:51:21,840
Speaker 3: Like, we looks it looks fine.

2248
01:51:21,680 --> 01:51:24,160
Speaker 4: He probably he has a little bit better than a

2249
01:51:24,240 --> 01:51:27,040
Speaker 4: dad bod. But again, like he's a quarterback, Like, what

2250
01:51:27,120 --> 01:51:28,599
Speaker 4: kind of physic what kind of physique do you think

2251
01:51:28,680 --> 01:51:31,759
Speaker 4: quarterbacks should have? Do you want to crime Dwight Howard

2252
01:51:31,800 --> 01:51:34,760
Speaker 4: with giant shoulders and big blockie, Like, that's not how

2253
01:51:35,000 --> 01:51:36,120
Speaker 4: that's not how they're built.

2254
01:51:36,479 --> 01:51:36,759
Speaker 3: Right.

2255
01:51:36,960 --> 01:51:38,839
Speaker 4: You have to be fluid, you have to be agile,

2256
01:51:38,880 --> 01:51:40,960
Speaker 4: you have to all of which he still has. By

2257
01:51:40,960 --> 01:51:44,240
Speaker 4: the way, he hasn't lost anything. So if he has,

2258
01:51:44,320 --> 01:51:45,880
Speaker 4: if you want to say he has quote unquote a

2259
01:51:45,880 --> 01:51:47,760
Speaker 4: bad body, sure, but to say that he's fat and

2260
01:51:47,760 --> 01:51:50,120
Speaker 4: he's out of shape and he's been eating nuggets, I

2261
01:51:50,200 --> 01:51:52,960
Speaker 4: highly doubt that this this radio host knows any idea

2262
01:51:53,000 --> 01:51:55,439
Speaker 4: of what Mahomes is or isn't doing in the off season.

2263
01:51:55,680 --> 01:51:58,720
Speaker 4: I'll say this, It was good enough to drag a

2264
01:51:58,800 --> 01:52:01,120
Speaker 4: Kansas City offense to the super Bowl last year. So

2265
01:52:01,200 --> 01:52:04,000
Speaker 4: whatever he's doing is working. So when I saw that

2266
01:52:04,000 --> 01:52:05,920
Speaker 4: take this week, I thought it was totally ridiculous.

2267
01:52:06,320 --> 01:52:09,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought the same thing. I'm like, what are

2268
01:52:09,120 --> 01:52:09,719
Speaker 3: you nuts?

2269
01:52:10,320 --> 01:52:12,559
Speaker 2: Like, well of want people to go after You're gonna

2270
01:52:12,600 --> 01:52:16,960
Speaker 2: go after Patrick Mahomes, right, Like that's ridiculous.

2271
01:52:17,080 --> 01:52:18,960
Speaker 4: He's not He's not trying to get get ready to

2272
01:52:18,960 --> 01:52:22,560
Speaker 4: be on stage for like, you know, a bodybuilding competition.

2273
01:52:23,200 --> 01:52:24,520
Speaker 4: I know it's a quarterback.

2274
01:52:24,720 --> 01:52:27,960
Speaker 3: I know. I saw that this week, and I'm like,

2275
01:52:28,120 --> 01:52:28,840
Speaker 3: are you kidding me?

2276
01:52:29,000 --> 01:52:33,360
Speaker 2: You see Tom Brady's physique over his career, yeah, I

2277
01:52:34,040 --> 01:52:37,400
Speaker 2: mean come on, yeah, especially before he went into his

2278
01:52:37,920 --> 01:52:38,880
Speaker 2: maniacal diet.

2279
01:52:39,040 --> 01:52:41,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, before he started eating avocado tacos and all that

2280
01:52:41,280 --> 01:52:43,599
Speaker 4: stuff or whatever he was doing. Yeah, and even with that,

2281
01:52:43,840 --> 01:52:46,040
Speaker 4: you know, he was He's never been some sort of

2282
01:52:46,040 --> 01:52:48,760
Speaker 4: physical Adonis because you know what, it doesn't matter. He's

2283
01:52:48,800 --> 01:52:50,439
Speaker 4: in shape for what he needs to be in shape

2284
01:52:50,439 --> 01:52:52,080
Speaker 4: for for the position that he needs to play.

2285
01:52:52,520 --> 01:52:54,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. I need to understand that at all.

2286
01:52:55,120 --> 01:52:57,920
Speaker 4: If if Patrick Mahomes was a defensive end and he

2287
01:52:57,960 --> 01:52:59,519
Speaker 4: had a physique like that, they'd be like, all right,

2288
01:52:59,680 --> 01:53:01,120
Speaker 4: maybe maybe needs to do some work.

2289
01:53:02,080 --> 01:53:04,240
Speaker 3: But that's what's wrong. But that's what's wrong with with

2290
01:53:04,600 --> 01:53:05,280
Speaker 3: the media.

2291
01:53:05,840 --> 01:53:10,760
Speaker 2: Like when you're when you're taking cheap shots at Mahomes.

2292
01:53:11,720 --> 01:53:14,080
Speaker 3: Or ridiculous note, I mean, that's what, that's what.

2293
01:53:14,600 --> 01:53:17,200
Speaker 2: That's why the media gets no respect sometimes because stuff

2294
01:53:17,240 --> 01:53:17,519
Speaker 2: like that.

2295
01:53:17,560 --> 01:53:19,599
Speaker 4: You try to be a hot take artist, you know,

2296
01:53:20,400 --> 01:53:23,240
Speaker 4: like there's i mean, someone on this Network earlier this week,

2297
01:53:23,320 --> 01:53:25,800
Speaker 4: you know, had to take about DeAndre Ayton saying that

2298
01:53:25,840 --> 01:53:27,720
Speaker 4: he's just as good as Nicola Yokich and some of

2299
01:53:27,760 --> 01:53:29,719
Speaker 4: the other great big men in the league. Oh my god,

2300
01:53:31,040 --> 01:53:35,200
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, totally ridiculous. There's no way that this host

2301
01:53:35,320 --> 01:53:37,960
Speaker 4: knew that it was ridiculous when he said it. But

2302
01:53:38,439 --> 01:53:41,200
Speaker 4: wantes he get headlines? Why does it get clicks? That's

2303
01:53:41,240 --> 01:53:42,559
Speaker 4: the reason why they did it. And that's the one

2304
01:53:42,560 --> 01:53:44,960
Speaker 4: thing about our industry that I that I hate.

2305
01:53:44,880 --> 01:53:47,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you have a hot take to me to

2306
01:53:47,840 --> 01:53:49,680
Speaker 3: game that correct. You know.

2307
01:53:50,240 --> 01:53:53,519
Speaker 2: I didn't get into it to be a song with

2308
01:53:53,640 --> 01:53:56,800
Speaker 2: dance man, you know what I mean? Like I I

2309
01:53:56,800 --> 01:53:59,160
Speaker 2: got into it because I like to talk about the sports,

2310
01:53:59,200 --> 01:54:00,120
Speaker 2: not with it.

2311
01:54:00,200 --> 01:54:02,679
Speaker 3: We are lives anyway.

2312
01:54:03,240 --> 01:54:09,920
Speaker 2: Fella is hanging right here Fox Sports Radio, Welcome back Fellas,

Speaker 3: She's like, oh, it's you a Figgy. You know, listen.

2319
01:54:35,920 --> 01:54:37,960
Speaker 4: She loves the ceiling right now.

2320
01:54:38,120 --> 01:54:39,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, she loves.

2321
01:54:38,840 --> 01:54:43,680
Speaker 2: It, but she loves Figgy and it's funny. I like

2322
01:54:43,720 --> 01:54:46,440
Speaker 2: when she gets fired up, like during the break, she'll

2323
01:54:46,480 --> 01:54:48,160
Speaker 2: start to go, I'll ask.

2324
01:54:47,960 --> 01:54:50,880
Speaker 3: Her like, by the way, what happened with that?

2325
01:54:51,040 --> 01:54:54,920
Speaker 2: Why would somebody say DeAndre eight and is just like jok,

2326
01:54:55,360 --> 01:54:56,200
Speaker 2: like what fight?

2327
01:54:57,200 --> 01:54:59,520
Speaker 3: And then she would get fired up. I love it? Yeah,

2328
01:54:59,600 --> 01:55:00,120
Speaker 3: I love it.

2329
01:55:00,400 --> 01:55:01,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, pretty ridiculous.

2330
01:55:01,920 --> 01:55:06,400
Speaker 3: Take Yeah, come on, man, stop stop with that anyway.

2331
01:55:06,760 --> 01:55:10,400
Speaker 2: Uh So I wouldn't hit to hit you with this

2332
01:55:11,600 --> 01:55:17,720
Speaker 2: because I'm looking and we've always talking about schedules and everything,

2333
01:55:18,840 --> 01:55:21,160
Speaker 2: so I look at week zero.

2334
01:55:22,520 --> 01:55:26,520
Speaker 3: Yes, we're about a month away from week zero.

2335
01:55:26,680 --> 01:55:27,680
Speaker 4: Absolutely, yep.

2336
01:55:29,160 --> 01:55:34,440
Speaker 2: It's not bad so but it could be awesome. So

2337
01:55:34,840 --> 01:55:41,040
Speaker 2: why wouldn't you make week zero like some ridiculous like

2338
01:55:41,880 --> 01:55:47,200
Speaker 2: party like bring, make it bring. Especially now that the

2339
01:55:47,240 --> 01:55:50,640
Speaker 2: playoffs are expanded, you could play other teams, You can

2340
01:55:50,720 --> 01:55:55,680
Speaker 2: have some fun. You could go to different places, you know,

2341
01:55:56,040 --> 01:55:59,040
Speaker 2: like can you imagine some of these you know you

2342
01:55:59,080 --> 01:56:04,160
Speaker 2: can have like and State play USC by the beach.

2343
01:56:07,960 --> 01:56:12,160
Speaker 4: Yea man, Well, so here's the interesting game. You're right,

2344
01:56:12,200 --> 01:56:15,240
Speaker 4: So here's the interesting thing to me because by expanding

2345
01:56:15,280 --> 01:56:18,920
Speaker 4: the postseason and we're still having debate test to what

2346
01:56:19,000 --> 01:56:20,800
Speaker 4: the postseason the field is going to look like the

2347
01:56:20,840 --> 01:56:23,480
Speaker 4: five plus eleven automatic bits for the big ten in

2348
01:56:23,520 --> 01:56:25,240
Speaker 4: the SEC, or whether it's going to be eleven at

2349
01:56:25,320 --> 01:56:30,120
Speaker 4: largers or whatever. The more expanded the postseason is, the

2350
01:56:30,240 --> 01:56:33,200
Speaker 4: less important the regular season is, which means you can

2351
01:56:33,240 --> 01:56:36,640
Speaker 4: actually get more compelling matchups in the regular season because

2352
01:56:36,640 --> 01:56:39,200
Speaker 4: those games don't mean as much. But that's a really

2353
01:56:39,200 --> 01:56:41,760
Speaker 4: tough like, Yeah, okay, who else wouldn't love to see

2354
01:56:41,880 --> 01:56:45,320
Speaker 4: LSU take on I don't know, USC or something or

2355
01:56:45,320 --> 01:56:48,280
Speaker 4: Ohio State to open the week open the season. Well,

2356
01:56:48,320 --> 01:56:50,040
Speaker 4: if you know, if you lose that game, it doesn't

2357
01:56:50,040 --> 01:56:53,160
Speaker 4: really affect you that much. How much meaning doesn't really

2358
01:56:53,200 --> 01:56:54,760
Speaker 4: have other than the fact that, oh, it's cool to

2359
01:56:54,760 --> 01:56:57,280
Speaker 4: see these two teams play. That's the hard part that

2360
01:56:57,320 --> 01:57:00,200
Speaker 4: I'm wrestling with when it comes to that. So, the

2361
01:57:00,200 --> 01:57:03,560
Speaker 4: the field has expanded, which lessens the pressure on teams

2362
01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:07,040
Speaker 4: to schedule boldly. But if you're scheduling boldly and playing

2363
01:57:07,080 --> 01:57:09,040
Speaker 4: these big games, how big are the games if they

2364
01:57:09,040 --> 01:57:11,120
Speaker 4: don't ultimately matter when it comes to whether or not

2365
01:57:11,160 --> 01:57:12,760
Speaker 4: you make the playoffs? Does that make sense?

2366
01:57:13,360 --> 01:57:17,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it makes perfect sense. It does. It makes perfect sense.

2367
01:57:17,280 --> 01:57:19,160
Speaker 4: So that's that's the part that I juggle with. One

2368
01:57:19,160 --> 01:57:21,240
Speaker 4: thing I liked about college football to a certain degree

2369
01:57:21,240 --> 01:57:25,400
Speaker 4: is that the regular season largely was the playoffs, you know,

2370
01:57:25,480 --> 01:57:27,680
Speaker 4: because if you lost in one or two games, your

2371
01:57:27,760 --> 01:57:30,080
Speaker 4: season wasn't shambles. Now, granted, that's a lot of pressure

2372
01:57:30,080 --> 01:57:33,600
Speaker 4: to put on college kids, but there was something special

2373
01:57:33,640 --> 01:57:35,640
Speaker 4: about the regular season that's gonna be lost just a

2374
01:57:35,680 --> 01:57:37,480
Speaker 4: little bit, just a little bit.

2375
01:57:37,560 --> 01:57:37,680
Speaker 5: Now.

2376
01:57:37,720 --> 01:57:42,720
Speaker 2: The thing is because that you had the cupcake schedule.

2377
01:57:42,840 --> 01:57:44,560
Speaker 4: That is true, You're right, So this give and take

2378
01:57:44,640 --> 01:57:46,200
Speaker 4: on both sides on that the cut.

2379
01:57:46,280 --> 01:57:50,360
Speaker 2: And there was also that thing that was unfair that

2380
01:57:50,440 --> 01:57:55,640
Speaker 2: if the loss happened like Labor Day, it could be huged.

2381
01:57:56,320 --> 01:58:01,200
Speaker 2: But the loss happened in October, it was death sentence, right.

2382
01:58:01,040 --> 01:58:03,080
Speaker 4: Which is all which was never fair. A loss is

2383
01:58:03,080 --> 01:58:03,760
Speaker 4: a loss, you know.

2384
01:58:04,600 --> 01:58:09,400
Speaker 2: And the other thing I hated was the randomness of.

2385
01:58:10,880 --> 01:58:12,720
Speaker 3: Basically a poll.

2386
01:58:13,320 --> 01:58:15,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, polls, computers.

2387
01:58:15,120 --> 01:58:17,920
Speaker 3: All that. I mean, that was horrible.

2388
01:58:18,080 --> 01:58:21,320
Speaker 2: Yeah well you think, yeah, No, I was gonna say,

2389
01:58:21,440 --> 01:58:24,560
Speaker 2: just he used to drive me. No, It's like again,

2390
01:58:24,680 --> 01:58:28,520
Speaker 2: even when they picked to four, I mean, we had

2391
01:58:28,520 --> 01:58:30,680
Speaker 2: to go, we had to go for years and years

2392
01:58:31,040 --> 01:58:33,240
Speaker 2: to get to that, and that's not enough.

2393
01:58:33,720 --> 01:58:35,760
Speaker 4: No, And I like the fact that the little guy

2394
01:58:35,760 --> 01:58:38,280
Speaker 4: actually is going to have a legitimate opportunity to see

2395
01:58:38,280 --> 01:58:39,800
Speaker 4: what they can do. Now, maybe they'll get run off

2396
01:58:39,840 --> 01:58:41,840
Speaker 4: the field nine times out of ten, but every now

2397
01:58:41,920 --> 01:58:44,120
Speaker 4: and then they'll come up and bite somebody, which is

2398
01:58:44,160 --> 01:58:47,440
Speaker 4: what the playoffs is all about. So expanding to sixteen

2399
01:58:47,880 --> 01:58:50,360
Speaker 4: and having a chance for conference champions from lower levels

2400
01:58:50,400 --> 01:58:51,760
Speaker 4: to be able to come in and compete and have

2401
01:58:51,760 --> 01:58:53,600
Speaker 4: a chance to make the postseason, I think it was

2402
01:58:53,600 --> 01:58:55,760
Speaker 4: grateful the sport as a whole, as opposed to just

2403
01:58:55,800 --> 01:58:58,000
Speaker 4: being closed off to a Power four or Power five.

2404
01:58:58,600 --> 01:59:00,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2405
01:59:00,120 --> 01:59:04,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, And I still think, like I think it's great,

2406
01:59:05,080 --> 01:59:09,400
Speaker 2: And I think, listen, a regular season. You know what

2407
01:59:09,440 --> 01:59:11,760
Speaker 2: college football was, it was a kid to baseball not

2408
01:59:11,800 --> 01:59:14,560
Speaker 2: having any tier playoff tier correct.

2409
01:59:14,360 --> 01:59:17,600
Speaker 4: As you go straight to the World Series the Yeah.

2410
01:59:17,600 --> 01:59:22,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I don't know, I want a playoff because

2411
01:59:22,680 --> 01:59:27,120
Speaker 2: I think teams change, they more they grow together, especially

2412
01:59:27,160 --> 01:59:30,280
Speaker 2: in college listening in football where you're you need to

2413
01:59:30,280 --> 01:59:32,839
Speaker 2: grow as a team, Like you got to give freshman

2414
01:59:32,880 --> 01:59:34,680
Speaker 2: a chance to kind of get integrated.

2415
01:59:34,880 --> 01:59:37,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, rare are teams the same and opening week as

2416
01:59:37,520 --> 01:59:39,760
Speaker 4: they are the last week of the season, teams definitely

2417
01:59:39,800 --> 01:59:41,000
Speaker 4: change and evolve and get better.

2418
01:59:41,440 --> 01:59:48,040
Speaker 2: Yeah right, So I think playoffs like I love where

2419
01:59:48,040 --> 01:59:50,520
Speaker 2: it's at. I won't go'll get into it, but I

2420
01:59:51,280 --> 01:59:54,840
Speaker 2: love where college football is at. Fellas hanging out right here.

Speaker 4: I don't think I've heard that one before.

2445
02:01:23,680 --> 02:01:25,720
Speaker 3: That's good. That's a go one.

2446
02:01:25,760 --> 02:01:30,400
Speaker 2: That's the Mariners radio network on the call. Col Rally

2447
02:01:30,440 --> 02:01:34,600
Speaker 2: goes yard twice. He's got thirty eight heading into the

2448
02:01:34,640 --> 02:01:37,440
Speaker 2: All Star break. Two more games for the break, and

2449
02:01:37,720 --> 02:01:40,600
Speaker 2: uh yeah, that was a Grand Slam on the night

2450
02:01:40,760 --> 02:01:46,280
Speaker 2: that Terise Cobel pitched cool pitched, then mares all over

2451
02:01:46,320 --> 02:01:46,879
Speaker 2: the Tigers.

2452
02:01:46,960 --> 02:01:48,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, roughed them up a little bit.

2453
02:01:49,160 --> 02:01:50,240
Speaker 3: Uh yeah.

2454
02:01:50,240 --> 02:01:53,040
Speaker 2: It's funny that, you know what, there's something special up

2455
02:01:53,080 --> 02:01:56,480
Speaker 2: baseball and that you could be like corny hokey and

2456
02:01:56,760 --> 02:01:57,480
Speaker 2: it works.

2457
02:01:57,720 --> 02:02:00,320
Speaker 4: Yeah. Oh yeah, there's always been you're gonna put them

2458
02:02:00,320 --> 02:02:02,680
Speaker 4: on the board and you know, stuff like that. Yeah,

2459
02:02:02,840 --> 02:02:07,320
Speaker 4: hometown calls. I mean looks for broadcasters too, you know.

2460
02:02:07,440 --> 02:02:08,840
Speaker 4: So they got to have a little bit of fun

2461
02:02:08,880 --> 02:02:10,760
Speaker 4: with it, you know, every now and then. So I

2462
02:02:10,760 --> 02:02:11,600
Speaker 4: got no problem with it.

2463
02:02:12,400 --> 02:02:15,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you know, it's funny. So I covered

2464
02:02:15,640 --> 02:02:19,000
Speaker 2: it as a writer, right, Oh my god, I never

2465
02:02:19,040 --> 02:02:23,080
Speaker 2: forget like you're covered it. I covered the Mets one

2466
02:02:23,160 --> 02:02:28,680
Speaker 2: year and they were horrible and it was it was

2467
02:02:28,840 --> 02:02:31,560
Speaker 2: so bad, like you're it's all I never forget.

2468
02:02:31,720 --> 02:02:32,920
Speaker 3: Uh, I can picture it.

2469
02:02:33,240 --> 02:02:36,800
Speaker 2: I was in Saint Louis and it's in August day.

2470
02:02:37,640 --> 02:02:40,360
Speaker 2: It's like a thousand degrees on the field right, like

2471
02:02:40,920 --> 02:02:44,880
Speaker 2: you're literally where your feet were burning. Like the guys

2472
02:02:44,880 --> 02:02:48,320
Speaker 2: had to wear two socks. It's like because they heat

2473
02:02:48,760 --> 02:02:52,880
Speaker 2: on the turf at Bush Stadium was just dancety. And

2474
02:02:52,920 --> 02:02:56,760
Speaker 2: I'm like, and there are whatever at games out of

2475
02:02:56,840 --> 02:03:01,240
Speaker 2: first place buried, and like you have to write about

2476
02:03:01,240 --> 02:03:01,839
Speaker 2: that stuff.

2477
02:03:02,840 --> 02:03:04,720
Speaker 3: And I used to try to amuse.

2478
02:03:04,360 --> 02:03:07,320
Speaker 2: Myself coming up with different stupid things.

2479
02:03:07,720 --> 02:03:08,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, hard day.

2480
02:03:08,840 --> 02:03:11,840
Speaker 2: One day I wrote, I wrote, I use all the

2481
02:03:11,920 --> 02:03:17,680
Speaker 2: lyrics from Sympathy for the Devil in the story of

2482
02:03:17,800 --> 02:03:21,040
Speaker 2: the of the because they lost again and it was

2483
02:03:21,120 --> 02:03:25,120
Speaker 2: like everything was raveling and I was like the Devil's

2484
02:03:25,160 --> 02:03:28,040
Speaker 2: loose in the Mets clubhouse, and you.

2485
02:03:28,000 --> 02:03:29,720
Speaker 3: Know, so that was the whole story.

2486
02:03:29,960 --> 02:03:33,080
Speaker 2: I didn't use myself by coming up with with you know, with.

2487
02:03:33,120 --> 02:03:35,840
Speaker 4: Stories, You're right, you have to at that point in time,

2488
02:03:35,840 --> 02:03:37,960
Speaker 4: because what else do you do. You can only say, yeah,

2489
02:03:38,000 --> 02:03:40,920
Speaker 4: they lost again eight to one for the fifteenth straight night.

2490
02:03:41,480 --> 02:03:43,560
Speaker 4: You know, like if you're so if you're covering the

2491
02:03:43,560 --> 02:03:45,840
Speaker 4: Colorado Rockies who are thirty three games out of first

2492
02:03:45,840 --> 02:03:47,800
Speaker 4: place and there's still a whole half of the season

2493
02:03:47,880 --> 02:03:50,720
Speaker 4: left to go, Oh, you gotta get fun, you gotta creative.

2494
02:03:50,760 --> 02:03:53,240
Speaker 4: You gotta at some point try to entertain yourself or

2495
02:03:53,320 --> 02:03:55,880
Speaker 4: entertain the audience in a unique way, because you can't

2496
02:03:55,880 --> 02:03:58,240
Speaker 4: just write a standard game story every single when the

2497
02:03:58,320 --> 02:03:59,400
Speaker 4: same thing keeps happening.

2498
02:04:00,160 --> 02:04:03,760
Speaker 2: No, And you know, right, because at that point the

2499
02:04:03,800 --> 02:04:07,640
Speaker 2: baseball doesn't matter, right, Like nobody cares about the game,

2500
02:04:07,920 --> 02:04:11,600
Speaker 2: Like you know, nobody's watching it over reading about it.

2501
02:04:12,240 --> 02:04:15,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, no, that's that's a that's a long haul,

2502
02:04:16,520 --> 02:04:17,360
Speaker 2: really a long haul.

2503
02:04:17,720 --> 02:04:20,080
Speaker 3: I got a couple of unfinished business. We did not.

2504
02:04:21,640 --> 02:04:25,120
Speaker 2: Finish our top ten tight ends, which I do want

2505
02:04:25,120 --> 02:04:28,000
Speaker 2: to get into. And I told you about week zero

2506
02:04:28,160 --> 02:04:32,960
Speaker 2: right now. The uh it's interesting the air Lingus game.

2507
02:04:33,080 --> 02:04:36,960
Speaker 2: That's the game in Dublin in Ireland, that's Iowa State

2508
02:04:37,000 --> 02:04:40,360
Speaker 2: in Kansas state, and like that's a legitimate game.

2509
02:04:40,560 --> 02:04:43,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, conference game, right, you know like.

2510
02:04:43,600 --> 02:04:46,200
Speaker 2: That, I mean, that's that's I mean, that's start that

2511
02:04:46,280 --> 02:04:51,000
Speaker 2: kicks off week zero, Saturday, August twenty third. I got

2512
02:04:51,240 --> 02:04:55,640
Speaker 2: two just major college football, quite like big picture college

2513
02:04:55,640 --> 02:04:56,520
Speaker 2: football questions.

2514
02:04:56,640 --> 02:04:59,680
Speaker 3: All right, give me two teams.

2515
02:05:00,640 --> 02:05:03,880
Speaker 2: That come out of I don't say nowhere, but that

2516
02:05:04,040 --> 02:05:08,040
Speaker 2: you're the most bullish on, and two teams that you

2517
02:05:08,160 --> 02:05:13,000
Speaker 2: think are going to be the most disappointing. Oh wow,

2518
02:05:16,240 --> 02:05:18,120
Speaker 2: I love ped State. I'm like, I don't know how

2519
02:05:18,200 --> 02:05:22,400
Speaker 2: you feel about them, but they had a great recruit

2520
02:05:22,480 --> 02:05:24,000
Speaker 2: recruit recruiting class.

2521
02:05:24,400 --> 02:05:25,800
Speaker 3: They bring back aller.

2522
02:05:25,600 --> 02:05:28,200
Speaker 4: They in fact aller State I think was a good

2523
02:05:28,200 --> 02:05:29,400
Speaker 4: decision on his part.

2524
02:05:29,800 --> 02:05:33,760
Speaker 2: Way very good decision, and they got a receiver. Now

2525
02:05:33,760 --> 02:05:36,880
Speaker 2: he loses Warren who was a great tight end, but

2526
02:05:36,960 --> 02:05:40,200
Speaker 2: he's going to get some weapons and he's got Singleton back, right,

2527
02:05:40,240 --> 02:05:42,960
Speaker 2: so he's got great running backs and he has a

2528
02:05:43,000 --> 02:05:44,560
Speaker 2: couple of young receivers to throw to.

2529
02:05:44,720 --> 02:05:48,400
Speaker 4: Now, Yeah, I'm I mean it's probably a cop out

2530
02:05:48,400 --> 02:05:50,280
Speaker 4: to say I'm bullish on Texas. Who has the top

2531
02:05:50,320 --> 02:05:54,520
Speaker 4: recruiting class, dominates transfer portal. I mean, I feel like

2532
02:05:54,560 --> 02:05:55,680
Speaker 4: that's an obvious one.

2533
02:05:55,880 --> 02:05:58,480
Speaker 3: Well, they're the lock of all locks, right.

2534
02:05:58,400 --> 02:06:03,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know, I don't know where Tennessee actually

2535
02:06:03,560 --> 02:06:06,080
Speaker 4: falls now, especially after they lost to Ia Maliava doing

2536
02:06:06,080 --> 02:06:08,520
Speaker 4: the transfer portal, but they still have a really good team.

2537
02:06:08,760 --> 02:06:10,280
Speaker 4: And it's not like he let the world on fire

2538
02:06:10,400 --> 02:06:11,240
Speaker 4: last year anyway.

2539
02:06:11,840 --> 02:06:13,640
Speaker 3: Uh No, in fact as a disappointment.

2540
02:06:13,840 --> 02:06:17,200
Speaker 4: Right, So I'm wondering if they actually have a better

2541
02:06:17,240 --> 02:06:19,400
Speaker 4: season than people are assuming that they will because they

2542
02:06:19,400 --> 02:06:22,400
Speaker 4: lost I maliave in the transfer portal, but because they

2543
02:06:22,400 --> 02:06:24,040
Speaker 4: still have a lot of talent, I still think they're

2544
02:06:24,040 --> 02:06:25,480
Speaker 4: going to have a good year and are going to

2545
02:06:25,520 --> 02:06:27,680
Speaker 4: be a playoff team. So they're probably a team that

2546
02:06:27,720 --> 02:06:29,560
Speaker 4: I'm bullish on that a lot of people are probably

2547
02:06:29,600 --> 02:06:30,720
Speaker 4: backing off of a little bit.

2548
02:06:33,160 --> 02:06:33,760
Speaker 3: I like that.

2549
02:06:34,600 --> 02:06:37,960
Speaker 2: I like that a lot like I think that's I

2550
02:06:38,000 --> 02:06:40,240
Speaker 2: think that's a that's a good Now give me two

2551
02:06:40,280 --> 02:06:44,520
Speaker 2: teams that you think are going to be disappointing.

2552
02:06:45,600 --> 02:06:47,960
Speaker 4: I hate to say it because I like Caitlyn de Boor,

2553
02:06:48,320 --> 02:06:50,560
Speaker 4: but I think Alabama might take a step back this year.

2554
02:06:51,080 --> 02:06:53,640
Speaker 4: They already have been the last couple of years under

2555
02:06:53,680 --> 02:06:57,320
Speaker 4: his tenure. Uh, you lose Milroe at quarterback. They look

2556
02:06:57,360 --> 02:06:59,840
Speaker 4: they have good recruits and and and transfers coming into

2557
02:07:00,680 --> 02:07:02,360
Speaker 4: but I think it's gonna be tough sledding for them

2558
02:07:02,400 --> 02:07:05,600
Speaker 4: this year. So they're well, They're one team that I

2559
02:07:05,680 --> 02:07:07,360
Speaker 4: think takes a bit of a step back this year.

2560
02:07:11,800 --> 02:07:13,960
Speaker 4: I hate to say Arizona State because they're a former

2561
02:07:14,000 --> 02:07:16,120
Speaker 4: Pac twelve and they made the playoff last year. But

2562
02:07:16,760 --> 02:07:19,080
Speaker 4: I don't know, I think you have to, right, Yeah,

2563
02:07:19,120 --> 02:07:21,520
Speaker 4: I don't think they can have they can replicate what

2564
02:07:21,520 --> 02:07:25,640
Speaker 4: they did last season, So they're probably one who I

2565
02:07:25,640 --> 02:07:27,120
Speaker 4: think a lot of people are saying, oh, look what

2566
02:07:27,160 --> 02:07:28,920
Speaker 4: Arizona State. They came out of nowhere. Now they're going

2567
02:07:29,000 --> 02:07:30,800
Speaker 4: to be better. I don't know if that's necessarily true.

2568
02:07:31,640 --> 02:07:37,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's funny. Let's go through quickly a

2569
02:07:37,120 --> 02:07:41,680
Speaker 2: little overview of these teams. So obviously you mentioned Texas

2570
02:07:41,720 --> 02:07:44,520
Speaker 2: as a team you like the most. They're gonna be

2571
02:07:44,640 --> 02:07:48,440
Speaker 2: number one team in the country. That arch is it

2572
02:07:48,480 --> 02:07:52,560
Speaker 2: finally gets the gig. I mean, I still do you

2573
02:07:52,600 --> 02:07:55,160
Speaker 2: remember last year? We still you were like, still could

2574
02:07:55,240 --> 02:07:59,720
Speaker 2: get over that you got the ball at the goal

2575
02:07:59,800 --> 02:08:02,000
Speaker 2: line and he's not on the field.

2576
02:08:02,880 --> 02:08:03,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2577
02:08:03,320 --> 02:08:06,200
Speaker 4: It was very odd, odd odd decision making.

2578
02:08:06,040 --> 02:08:08,280
Speaker 2: Their right and the play calling like you're going to

2579
02:08:08,400 --> 02:08:14,440
Speaker 2: go side, you're not going to go forward? Oh my god,

2580
02:08:14,800 --> 02:08:21,000
Speaker 2: I sorry, I still can't get over to me. That

2581
02:08:21,080 --> 02:08:21,920
Speaker 2: was the play of.

2582
02:08:21,920 --> 02:08:23,000
Speaker 4: The whole season.

2583
02:08:24,400 --> 02:08:26,400
Speaker 3: Geez, what do you.

2584
02:08:26,360 --> 02:08:30,480
Speaker 2: Know about Julian saying, who will be the quarterback from

2585
02:08:30,760 --> 02:08:35,520
Speaker 2: uh at Ohio State the red shirt freshmen transferred from Alabama.

2586
02:08:36,240 --> 02:08:38,280
Speaker 4: Very little, if I'm to be completely honest with you.

2587
02:08:38,480 --> 02:08:40,600
Speaker 4: But if he's good enough to go to Ohio State,

2588
02:08:40,640 --> 02:08:42,800
Speaker 4: I think they know a thing or two about getting

2589
02:08:42,840 --> 02:08:45,560
Speaker 4: talented players and pumping them out into the pros. So

2590
02:08:46,840 --> 02:08:48,920
Speaker 4: my guess is he's gonna have just as good of

2591
02:08:48,960 --> 02:08:51,960
Speaker 4: a year as everyone previously has had the last couple

2592
02:08:52,000 --> 02:08:55,160
Speaker 4: of seasons. That includes Will Howard, who we talked about

2593
02:08:55,200 --> 02:08:57,440
Speaker 4: last year didn't even have that great of a season.

2594
02:08:57,520 --> 02:08:59,360
Speaker 4: Hist line looked good, but I mean Will Howard didn't

2595
02:08:59,360 --> 02:09:02,080
Speaker 4: necessarily wow good enough to get them to a national

2596
02:09:02,160 --> 02:09:02,960
Speaker 4: championship though.

2597
02:09:03,080 --> 02:09:09,240
Speaker 2: So how about Georgia, because Georgia will be probably top

2598
02:09:09,360 --> 02:09:15,720
Speaker 2: five for sure, definitely Gunner stocked it. It'll be Gunner

2599
02:09:15,760 --> 02:09:19,360
Speaker 2: Stockedon's team. Yep, had a little cup of coffee last year.

2600
02:09:20,520 --> 02:09:22,480
Speaker 2: Look talented, look good, looks a little bit.

2601
02:09:23,600 --> 02:09:25,040
Speaker 4: I will say the moment was a little too big

2602
02:09:25,080 --> 02:09:26,760
Speaker 4: for him a couple of times last year when he played,

2603
02:09:26,760 --> 02:09:30,080
Speaker 4: but he also wasn't expected to play, so I can't

2604
02:09:30,120 --> 02:09:32,800
Speaker 4: necessarily hope that against him. But I mean, I feel

2605
02:09:32,800 --> 02:09:34,800
Speaker 4: like the same power brokers, and this is something Deon

2606
02:09:34,840 --> 02:09:37,040
Speaker 4: Sanders talking about at Big twelve media days this year.

2607
02:09:37,320 --> 02:09:40,160
Speaker 4: Are gonna be there now if and he said it's

2608
02:09:40,160 --> 02:09:42,360
Speaker 4: because they should be a salary cap because the biggest

2609
02:09:42,360 --> 02:09:44,560
Speaker 4: schools can pay all the guys. Which, by the way,

2610
02:09:44,560 --> 02:09:48,400
Speaker 4: it's always been that way. Nothing's changed, So it's just

2611
02:09:48,440 --> 02:09:51,320
Speaker 4: above board now, that's all it is. This is no

2612
02:09:51,320 --> 02:09:53,440
Speaker 4: different than college football has been. When Dion played at

2613
02:09:53,480 --> 02:09:59,040
Speaker 4: Florida State, it was this way, so nothing's changed. So yeah,

2614
02:09:59,080 --> 02:10:01,520
Speaker 4: so I think the the same principal figures. You're Georgia's,

2615
02:10:01,520 --> 02:10:05,320
Speaker 4: Ohio State, Notre Dame, Oregon, Texas with Penn State going

2616
02:10:05,360 --> 02:10:07,000
Speaker 4: in there at the top, in the top five, I

2617
02:10:07,000 --> 02:10:09,320
Speaker 4: believe you know, those are gonna be kind of like

2618
02:10:09,320 --> 02:10:12,560
Speaker 4: your your heavy hitters, and I really think it's kind

2619
02:10:12,560 --> 02:10:14,640
Speaker 4: of wide open after that. I think as you start

2620
02:10:14,680 --> 02:10:18,720
Speaker 4: getting into six, seven, eight, nine, ten, twelve, fifteen, I

2621
02:10:18,720 --> 02:10:20,959
Speaker 4: think it's gonna be wide open. I do think BYU

2622
02:10:21,040 --> 02:10:22,320
Speaker 4: losing rest laugh is gonna be.

2623
02:10:22,360 --> 02:10:24,880
Speaker 3: Is a it's a huge loss, huge loss.

2624
02:10:25,000 --> 02:10:26,200
Speaker 4: I know there was controversial.

2625
02:10:26,320 --> 02:10:28,800
Speaker 2: I like you like Oregon, I mean obviously going to

2626
02:10:28,800 --> 02:10:32,160
Speaker 2: see what Dante Moore could be a quarterback, but I

2627
02:10:33,080 --> 02:10:34,919
Speaker 2: you know, I mean they're they're stocked.

2628
02:10:35,320 --> 02:10:37,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're actually they are.

2629
02:10:37,120 --> 02:10:38,720
Speaker 3: They're good. Yeah.

2630
02:10:38,920 --> 02:10:42,400
Speaker 4: I mean Mario Cristobaul late the foundation of building offensive lines,

2631
02:10:42,400 --> 02:10:45,840
Speaker 4: and they've they've just continued that. Defensively, they've gotten a

2632
02:10:45,840 --> 02:10:48,040
Speaker 4: lot better. And they also don't have the hardest schedule.

2633
02:10:48,920 --> 02:10:51,080
Speaker 4: I don't believe they play I can actually pull up

2634
02:10:51,080 --> 02:10:52,240
Speaker 4: their schedule right now. But off the top of my

2635
02:10:52,240 --> 02:10:55,000
Speaker 4: head point, they don't really play anybody that tough. So

2636
02:10:56,000 --> 02:10:59,120
Speaker 4: Montana State, Oklahoma State, both of those are at home

2637
02:11:00,080 --> 02:11:03,839
Speaker 4: and play at Northwestern. You play Oregon State out of conference,

2638
02:11:04,480 --> 02:11:07,320
Speaker 4: which is a rivalry game at Penn State's gonna be

2639
02:11:07,360 --> 02:11:12,840
Speaker 4: a tough one. But then you're Indiana, Rutgers, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, USC,

2640
02:11:13,120 --> 02:11:14,840
Speaker 4: Washington Wow.

2641
02:11:15,040 --> 02:11:19,840
Speaker 2: So it's not like it's murderers rolling, dude, they're going

2642
02:11:19,880 --> 02:11:20,960
Speaker 2: to rack up w's.

2643
02:11:21,080 --> 02:11:24,320
Speaker 4: Yeah. Like, now, Rutgers in Wisconsin or excuse me, Rutgers

2644
02:11:24,320 --> 02:11:26,480
Speaker 4: and Iowa are on the road, so that's cross country

2645
02:11:26,520 --> 02:11:29,280
Speaker 4: to Rutgers. Iowa is not the easiest place to play,

2646
02:11:29,800 --> 02:11:33,360
Speaker 4: but they're in the class of their own talent wise

2647
02:11:33,360 --> 02:11:35,760
Speaker 4: against those teams, and they play against USC and USC

2648
02:11:35,960 --> 02:11:37,800
Speaker 4: is I don't know what they're gonna look like this year.

2649
02:11:37,800 --> 02:11:40,800
Speaker 4: They're kind of up in the air, so it's not

2650
02:11:40,880 --> 02:11:42,560
Speaker 4: really a hard schedule at all for Oregon. They have

2651
02:11:42,600 --> 02:11:44,360
Speaker 4: an easy path to the playoff if they just take

2652
02:11:44,360 --> 02:11:45,000
Speaker 4: care of business.

2653
02:11:45,360 --> 02:11:47,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm I'm with you.

2654
02:11:48,520 --> 02:11:52,080
Speaker 2: Uh, what are you thinking about the Irish?

2655
02:11:52,480 --> 02:11:55,880
Speaker 3: Now? You know you get love comes back? Yep.

2656
02:11:56,440 --> 02:11:59,720
Speaker 2: Uh. They got this kid, by the way from my

2657
02:12:00,120 --> 02:12:07,280
Speaker 2: in the woods, a six five corner, Joey O'Brien. And

2658
02:12:07,800 --> 02:12:08,720
Speaker 2: this kid's took.

2659
02:12:09,240 --> 02:12:10,240
Speaker 4: Named to go to Notre Dame.

2660
02:12:10,360 --> 02:12:15,280
Speaker 2: So he's unbelievable, right, the kids six', five he's a

2661
02:12:15,400 --> 02:12:16,840
Speaker 2: corner and he is a.

2662
02:12:17,080 --> 02:12:18,880
Speaker 3: Receiver and.

2663
02:12:20,440 --> 02:12:25,040
Speaker 2: What he's this kid's a study's fast as all get,

2664
02:12:25,120 --> 02:12:30,480
Speaker 2: out really smooth, anyway you gotta love the fact that

2665
02:12:30,520 --> 02:12:32,600
Speaker 2: he's Going he's going To Notre dame all.

2666
02:12:32,640 --> 02:12:35,480
Speaker 4: Places some. Ways are we getting like Real Travis hunter vibes?

2667
02:12:35,520 --> 02:12:37,880
Speaker 4: Here or do you think he's gonna be mostly a

2668
02:12:37,920 --> 02:12:39,760
Speaker 4: corner and maybe a gimmick receiver.

2669
02:12:40,320 --> 02:12:44,160
Speaker 3: Or MOSTLY i think mostly a.

2670
02:12:44,760 --> 02:12:48,920
Speaker 2: Corner, okay we could also probably play some, safety but

2671
02:12:48,960 --> 02:12:51,640
Speaker 2: he's fast enough to play on the. Outside, uh and

2672
02:12:51,640 --> 02:12:54,800
Speaker 2: he's got good hips for a tall a tall corner

2673
02:12:55,520 --> 02:12:58,000
Speaker 2: BUT i mean the kid's. Good the kid could play.

2674
02:12:58,040 --> 02:13:02,040
Speaker 2: Receiver he could he could play. RECEIVER i, MEAN i

2675
02:13:02,040 --> 02:13:06,760
Speaker 2: mean with that, size he's got great. Speed you, know good.

2698
02:14:02,400 --> 02:14:04,640

2749
02:16:32,280 --> 02:16:34,080
Speaker 4: Derek carr as a quarterback for The. Raiders didn't turn

2750
02:16:34,080 --> 02:16:35,600
Speaker 4: the ball over a, lot but didn't actually make a

2751
02:16:35,600 --> 02:16:38,080
Speaker 4: lot of big plays when it will was necessary. Either all,

2752
02:16:38,160 --> 02:16:40,320
Speaker 4: right you take, chances trust your, arm trust your, talent

2753
02:16:40,400 --> 02:16:40,879

2754
02:16:41,040 --> 02:16:44,560

2759
02:16:58,000 --> 02:17:03,400
Speaker 2: lot o you got you, know, listen you Get Carson

2760
02:17:03,480 --> 02:17:07,879
Speaker 2: beck and they got a ton of, talent.

2761
02:17:07,920 --> 02:17:09,279
Speaker 4: Paid a lot of money For Carson.

2762
02:17:09,320 --> 02:17:10,560
Speaker 3: Beck. Yeah.

2763
02:17:10,760 --> 02:17:15,959
Speaker 4: YEAH i was Never beck's biggest, fan to be honest with,

2764
02:17:16,040 --> 02:17:17,400
Speaker 4: you AND i always thought that he was a little

2765
02:17:17,400 --> 02:17:19,080
Speaker 4: more of a. Product his success was more of a

2766
02:17:19,120 --> 02:17:23,920
Speaker 4: product Of georgia and the talent around him than his individual. Talents, now,

2767
02:17:24,120 --> 02:17:26,120
Speaker 4: Look miami is not a. Sif they obviously have a

2768
02:17:26,160 --> 02:17:28,440
Speaker 4: lot of you, know talent. Too so. Nothing it's not

2769
02:17:28,480 --> 02:17:30,720
Speaker 4: like he's going down to play For Incarnate word or. Something,

2770
02:17:31,320 --> 02:17:34,600
Speaker 4: uh BUT i would just pump the brakes on the

2771
02:17:34,680 --> 02:17:38,520
Speaker 4: hype On Carson, BECK i would have cautions. Optimism he's

2772
02:17:38,560 --> 02:17:41,600
Speaker 4: not some sort of, savior even though he's being paid like.

2773
02:17:41,640 --> 02:17:43,320
Speaker 4: One at least that's my outlook on.

2774
02:17:43,400 --> 02:17:44,000
Speaker 3: Him, YEAH i.

2775
02:17:44,520 --> 02:17:49,400
Speaker 2: Agree the only thing is Is miami's old.

2776
02:17:49,400 --> 02:17:50,880
Speaker 3: LINE i think it's gonna be really.

2777
02:17:50,920 --> 02:17:53,320
Speaker 4: Good oh, yeah that's crystal. Ball that's a given for.

2778
02:17:53,440 --> 02:17:56,280
Speaker 2: Sure so the fact that he's going to get that

2779
02:17:56,360 --> 02:17:59,640
Speaker 2: kind of, PROTECTION i Think beck's that kind of kid

2780
02:17:59,680 --> 02:18:04,440
Speaker 2: that needs. THAT i think if he feels comfortable in the,

2781
02:18:04,600 --> 02:18:06,920
Speaker 2: POCKET i think he could.

2782
02:18:06,959 --> 02:18:08,800
Speaker 3: Succeed it's when you see.

2783
02:18:08,879 --> 02:18:11,640
Speaker 2: Him remember last, year there were times when there was some,

2784
02:18:11,680 --> 02:18:15,840
Speaker 2: breakdowns and that's when his happy feet and he gets.

2785
02:18:15,840 --> 02:18:20,120
Speaker 4: Flustered absolutely. Absolutely That Georgia tech game was part of. That,

2786
02:18:20,440 --> 02:18:21,959
Speaker 4: yeah he ended up coming back and, winning BUT i

2787
02:18:22,000 --> 02:18:23,320
Speaker 4: mean he was flustered a lot of that.

2788
02:18:23,360 --> 02:18:27,440
Speaker 2: Game and so because of, that because Of, MIAMI i

2789
02:18:27,480 --> 02:18:30,000
Speaker 2: think that. LINE i think that line is going to

2790
02:18:30,040 --> 02:18:33,800
Speaker 2: be like elite. Good SO i think he'll BE i

2791
02:18:33,800 --> 02:18:36,360
Speaker 2: Think beck will be. FINE i still don't know about

2792
02:18:36,400 --> 02:18:37,519
Speaker 2: their defense.

2793
02:18:37,080 --> 02:18:41,040
Speaker 4: Though, yeah, yeah that's that's the big. Thing, well what

2794
02:18:41,440 --> 02:18:44,760
Speaker 4: helps them is that THE acc isn't necessarily a powerhouse conference,

2795
02:18:44,800 --> 02:18:48,360
Speaker 4: Either so we're you, know we're talking. Schedules they don't

2796
02:18:48,400 --> 02:18:52,080
Speaker 4: have the hardest. Schedule uh so they have an easier

2797
02:18:52,120 --> 02:18:56,120
Speaker 4: path to the playoff, Too So i'm looking at. There

2798
02:18:56,280 --> 02:18:58,480
Speaker 4: so they Have Notre dame to start the, season which

2799
02:18:58,520 --> 02:19:01,760
Speaker 4: is gonna be a really good. Game But Dune, Cookman South.

2800
02:19:01,800 --> 02:19:04,959
Speaker 4: Florida your placed on taking On florida And Florida state

2801
02:19:04,959 --> 02:19:09,720
Speaker 4: and back to back. Weeks Uh, Louisville, STANFORD, Smu, SYRACUSE Nc,

2802
02:19:09,840 --> 02:19:11,920
Speaker 4: State Virginia. Tech so there's actually a couple of tough

2803
02:19:11,920 --> 02:19:13,520
Speaker 4: ones in, there, actually now THAT i look at. It

2804
02:19:14,200 --> 02:19:16,400
Speaker 4: AT smu is not going to be. Easy louisville And

2805
02:19:16,640 --> 02:19:20,280
Speaker 4: senior last year At Florida state's rivalry never. Easy florda

2806
02:19:20,360 --> 02:19:23,720
Speaker 4: Versus florida rivalry never. Easy SO i don't, know it

2807
02:19:23,760 --> 02:19:25,360
Speaker 4: could be it could be tough sledding for them this.

2808
02:19:25,440 --> 02:19:34,039
Speaker 2: Year uh latest One. Michigan m. Hmm, NOW i obviously

2812
02:19:45,800 --> 02:19:50,160

2817
02:20:03,440 --> 02:20:05,000

2818
02:20:05,040 --> 02:20:07,879
Speaker 4: i really don't know what to. EXPECT i don't.

2819
02:20:07,680 --> 02:20:09,640
Speaker 3: Like how they played in the ball.

2820
02:20:09,720 --> 02:20:13,920

2825
02:20:26,560 --> 02:20:30,720

2826
02:20:30,280 --> 02:20:32,400
Speaker 4: Ye like you assume their defense is still going to be.

2827
02:20:32,400 --> 02:20:35,720
Speaker 4: Good that they're not falling off. There it just depends

2828
02:20:35,720 --> 02:20:37,320
Speaker 4: on what they can do on the offensive side of the.

2829
02:20:37,360 --> 02:20:41,120

2881
02:23:27,640 --> 02:23:31,320
Speaker 5: like a time, machine right and like forty years ago

2882
02:23:31,320 --> 02:23:34,200
Speaker 5: you're watching THE nba and you watch it now you're, like,

2883
02:23:34,280 --> 02:23:36,680
Speaker 5: oh my, God like the three pointer used to be

2884
02:23:36,720 --> 02:23:39,360
Speaker 5: like a home. Run now it's like a single, Right

2885
02:23:39,560 --> 02:23:42,200
Speaker 5: like it's just in terms of every like everyone shoots

2886
02:23:42,240 --> 02:23:45,840
Speaker 5: threes and in terms of the college football the landscape

2887
02:23:45,920 --> 02:23:49,280
Speaker 5: that's going back even you, know before this whole nil

2888
02:23:49,400 --> 02:23:54,199
Speaker 5: things started in the transfer, portal it is a completely different.

2889
02:23:54,560 --> 02:23:57,320
Speaker 5: Sport what you have to do, Is, god you really

2890
02:23:57,360 --> 02:23:59,680
Speaker 5: have to look at who's getting who in the transfer

2891
02:23:59,760 --> 02:24:03,760
Speaker 5: port who lost what players got. Lost it's almost like

2892
02:24:04,760 --> 02:24:08,240
Speaker 5: it's it's just it's just a wildlidless it's a lot

2893
02:24:08,280 --> 02:24:12,000
Speaker 5: more difficult in my opinion to you have to just

2894
02:24:12,040 --> 02:24:14,520
Speaker 5: be on top of it twenty four to seven because

2895
02:24:14,560 --> 02:24:17,480
Speaker 5: it does switch and it really has become almost like

2896
02:24:18,120 --> 02:24:21,320
Speaker 5: it used to be at, least you know, WHAT i

2897
02:24:21,360 --> 02:24:24,080
Speaker 5: was blown. UP i believe you know you you you

2898
02:24:24,160 --> 02:24:26,840
Speaker 5: played for your university and that that meant. Something now

2899
02:24:26,840 --> 02:24:30,119
Speaker 5: it's like you're playing for who's offering the most money

2900
02:24:30,200 --> 02:24:30,920
Speaker 5: for the most.

2901
02:24:30,680 --> 02:24:32,320
Speaker 3: Part, right, yeah it really is.

2902
02:24:32,680 --> 02:24:37,200

2903
02:24:37,360 --> 02:24:39,680
Speaker 5: look you got to look at the transfer, portal who's doing.

2904
02:24:39,760 --> 02:24:43,119
Speaker 5: What and it's, funny it's. Interesting you, know this year

Speaker 5: the Team anthony AND i got very good numbers on.

2906
02:24:45,640 --> 02:24:48,560
Speaker 5: Them but a team that has not filved into the

2907
02:24:48,600 --> 02:24:51,720
Speaker 5: transfer a, portal to my, opinion to their detriment the

2908
02:24:51,800 --> 02:24:54,640
Speaker 5: last three years has Been, clemson AND i think that's

2909
02:24:54,640 --> 02:24:57,560
Speaker 5: actually hurt. Them BUT i actually think this Year clemson

2910
02:24:57,600 --> 02:25:00,600
Speaker 5: that they're my. PICK i they're my rated numb one. Team.

2911
02:25:01,240 --> 02:25:05,400
Speaker 5: Uh the market has followed in suit Since i've been betting.

2912
02:25:05,440 --> 02:25:08,240
Speaker 5: This THEY i really Like. Clemson that's kind of my

2913
02:25:08,280 --> 02:25:10,119
Speaker 5: team this. Year AND i also bet the only two

2914
02:25:10,120 --> 02:25:12,360
Speaker 5: teams have been any futures on A Notre dame In

2915
02:25:12,440 --> 02:25:15,520
Speaker 5: clemson in terms of winning the. Title, uh those are

2916
02:25:15,560 --> 02:25:18,640
Speaker 5: two teams THAT i like quite a bit for the upcoming.

2917
02:25:18,680 --> 02:25:19,720
Speaker 3: Season are there.

2918
02:25:19,560 --> 02:25:21,720
Speaker 4: Any teams that are hovering around the top five or

2919
02:25:22,080 --> 02:25:24,840
Speaker 4: the assumed top five in college football that you're actually

2920
02:25:25,000 --> 02:25:27,000
Speaker 4: not that you, know bullet, shown that you think can

2921
02:25:27,040 --> 02:25:27,760

2926
02:25:42,080 --> 02:25:45,200

Speaker 5: i Think clemson in terms of their quarterback, PLAY i

2929
02:25:54,360 --> 02:25:56,080

2938
02:26:18,800 --> 02:26:22,760

02:26:48,120 --> 02:26:50,320
Speaker 5: i just go back to. THAT i, MEAN i just

2947
02:26:50,360 --> 02:26:54,200
Speaker 5: remember watching that game last year Against Notre, dame and,

2948
02:26:54,280 --> 02:26:56,400
Speaker 5: MAN i JUST i JUST i don't. KNOW i would

2949

Speaker 5: have wanted a little bit, more but, uh AND i

2950
02:26:59,120 --> 02:26:59,800
Speaker 5: just but.

2951
02:27:00,280 --> 02:27:01,720
Speaker 3: He needed he needed another.

2952
02:27:01,760 --> 02:27:04,199
Speaker 2: Receiver right, Now he's got a couple of young receivers

2953
02:27:04,200 --> 02:27:05,080
Speaker 2: THAT i think he can throw.

2954
02:27:05,120 --> 02:27:05,160
Speaker 7: To.

2955
02:27:05,320 --> 02:27:08,360
Speaker 5: Now, well it's interesting that they're obviously ranked very, high

2956
02:27:08,400 --> 02:27:12,080
Speaker 5: and that's a team that has the, goods so to.

2957
02:27:12,120 --> 02:27:16,440
Speaker 5: Speak BUT i will see this uh as a negative

2958
02:27:16,480 --> 02:27:19,600
Speaker 5: To Penn. State is WHEN i watched them last, YEAR

2959
02:27:19,959 --> 02:27:24,720
Speaker 5: i felt like everything about that, team AND i do mean.

2960
02:27:24,760 --> 02:27:29,520
Speaker 5: Everything we robbed abound the tight end AND i tywarn

2961
02:27:29,720 --> 02:27:33,760
Speaker 5: and to, ME i, Again i'm not trying to overrate

2962
02:27:33,879 --> 02:27:36,560
Speaker 5: a tight ends. Loss You oh my got just a tight.

2963
02:27:36,640 --> 02:27:38,800
Speaker 3: End, No, no he wasn't just THAT i agree with that.

2964
02:27:38,959 --> 02:27:39,200
Speaker 5: Now he.

2965
02:27:39,320 --> 02:27:42,720
Speaker 3: WAS i, mean, listen he was a wildcat for. YOU

2966
02:27:42,840 --> 02:27:43,800
Speaker 3: i mean he did a ton of.

2967
02:27:43,800 --> 02:27:47,400
Speaker 5: Things, yeah AND i AND i feel like again UNTIL

2968
02:27:47,440 --> 02:27:51,480
Speaker 5: i can see in terms Of Penn state how olur

2969
02:27:51,600 --> 02:27:55,959
Speaker 5: specifically and that offense will react to not having you,

2970
02:27:56,000 --> 02:27:59,480
Speaker 5: know minus like with the security, blanket which was which

2971
02:27:59,560 --> 02:28:02,320
Speaker 5: was the tight end and what he was able to

2972
02:28:02,320 --> 02:28:05,400
Speaker 5: do last, Year warren was. UNBELIEVABLE i, mean he was

2973
02:28:05,840 --> 02:28:08,720
Speaker 5: terrific AND i think he carried them to where they got.

2974
02:28:08,760 --> 02:28:12,160
Speaker 5: TO i kind Of i'm just going to need to

2975
02:28:12,160 --> 02:28:15,760
Speaker 5: see them be able to rise up without him and

2976
02:28:16,160 --> 02:28:20,600
Speaker 5: show me that against good competition they'll still be able

2977
02:28:20,680 --> 02:28:22,720
Speaker 5: to score the way everyone thinks they're going to be able.

2978
02:28:22,760 --> 02:28:26,040
Speaker 5: To i'm just quite not quite there yet in terms

2979
02:28:26,080 --> 02:28:28,560
Speaker 5: of fullid trusting Pend, state even THOUGH i get it,

2980
02:28:28,840 --> 02:28:31,120
Speaker 5: AGAIN i get why they're ranked where they, are and

2981
02:28:31,200 --> 02:28:35,240
Speaker 5: obviously they should be really. Good BUT i think that

2982
02:28:35,360 --> 02:28:37,920
Speaker 5: loss is just going to be a pretty big.

2983
02:28:37,760 --> 02:28:41,120
Speaker 4: One if we can stick the. Football but moved to THE.

2984
02:28:41,280 --> 02:28:44,120
Speaker 4: Nfl anthony AND i brought up earlier talking about THE

2985
02:28:44,160 --> 02:28:46,400
Speaker 4: Afc west and The, chargers AND i, Said i'm bullet

2986
02:28:46,480 --> 02:28:47,959
Speaker 4: on The chargers this, year AS i have in the

2987
02:28:48,000 --> 02:28:50,000
Speaker 4: last couple of, seasons AND i think they have a

2988
02:28:50,040 --> 02:28:53,280
Speaker 4: good shot of de throwing In Kansas city and winning the.

2989
02:28:53,320 --> 02:28:55,720
Speaker 4: Division what say you when it comes to?

2990
02:28:55,760 --> 02:28:59,320

2993
02:29:03,040 --> 02:29:06,320
Speaker 4: my ticket's tired.

2994
02:29:06,360 --> 02:29:10,240
Speaker 5: Now my biggest bet was on The charges to the one.

2995
02:29:10,280 --> 02:29:13,320
Speaker 5: DIVISION i made two smaller. BETS i got good numbers

2996
02:29:13,320 --> 02:29:16,720
Speaker 5: on both. THESE i got an amazing number On denver as.

2997
02:29:16,720 --> 02:29:19,200
Speaker 5: Well the market Of sin's going down a, lot AND

2998
02:29:19,240 --> 02:29:22,320
Speaker 5: i even fit in honor of, you an honor of,

2999
02:29:22,360 --> 02:29:25,039
Speaker 5: you put on My Genos Smith jersey put all my

3000
02:29:25,040 --> 02:29:28,080
Speaker 5: ass and Jen Z jersey made a small bet on

3001
02:29:28,200 --> 02:29:32,760
Speaker 5: The raiders even it was Hue. Jobs tiny, bet tiny

3002
02:29:32,800 --> 02:29:35,040
Speaker 5: bet just to break even on My chargers and what

3003
02:29:35,160 --> 02:29:37,800
Speaker 5: you'll call And broncos that to win the. DIVISION i

3004
02:29:37,840 --> 02:29:39,600
Speaker 5: just don't think it's going to be The. Chiefs although then,

3005
02:29:39,640 --> 02:29:42,000
Speaker 5: again the eleventh commandment IS i go against The, chiefs

3006
02:29:42,040 --> 02:29:44,360
Speaker 5: And i'm proven wrong every. YEAR i admit. It Uh

3007
02:29:44,840 --> 02:29:46,800
Speaker 5: so can take this with a grain of. SALT i

3008
02:29:46,840 --> 02:29:50,720
Speaker 5: paid The chiefs constantly and they just keep doing. IT

3009
02:29:51,000 --> 02:29:52,640
Speaker 5: i will tell you, this there was a great bet

3010
02:29:52,879 --> 02:29:55,080
Speaker 5: you're talking about The. RAIDERS i think it's an incredible.

3011
02:29:55,120 --> 02:29:58,360
Speaker 5: Bet one thing THAT i think the people who set

3012
02:29:58,400 --> 02:30:00,800
Speaker 5: these lines don't get quite as. RIGHT i think the

3013
02:30:00,879 --> 02:30:03,760
Speaker 5: smartest people in the world in terms of like prop

3014
02:30:03,840 --> 02:30:07,640
Speaker 5: debts and stuff like, that and are the high end fantasy.

3015
02:30:07,680 --> 02:30:10,480
Speaker 5: Community and if you look at the fantasy, drafts Asking

3016
02:30:10,560 --> 02:30:13,720

3033
02:31:05,840 --> 02:31:10,039
Speaker 5: WAS i honestly will always believe and this is just

3034
02:31:10,360 --> 02:31:14,160
Speaker 5: doesn't make me, right but it's my. OPINION i do

3035
02:31:14,280 --> 02:31:17,840
Speaker 5: believe they were probably the most talented team last, year

3036
02:31:17,840 --> 02:31:20,160
Speaker 5: AND i felt like the only thing that held them.

3037
02:31:20,200 --> 02:31:22,360
Speaker 5: Back And i'm not trying to be nasty WHEN i

3038
02:31:22,360 --> 02:31:24,920
Speaker 5: say this was the coaching. Staff And i'm not saying

3039
02:31:25,000 --> 02:31:27,280
Speaker 5: that their coaching stuffs and doesn't know ten million times

3040
02:31:27,280 --> 02:31:29,480
Speaker 5: more about football than. Me but WHAT i am saying

3041
02:31:29,560 --> 02:31:32,320
Speaker 5: IS i thought like the quarterback that they had versus

3042
02:31:32,320 --> 02:31:36,560
Speaker 5: the quarterback they were playing was JUST i thought the

3043
02:31:36,600 --> 02:31:38,480
Speaker 5: quarterback was the one thing on that. TEAM i didn't

3044
02:31:38,520 --> 02:31:41,440
Speaker 5: love and they had manning that they just chose not to.

3045
02:31:41,480 --> 02:31:47,000
Speaker 2: Play we said it, Earlier, siggy AND i said it,

3046
02:31:47,120 --> 02:31:50,160
Speaker 2: earlier AND i still go back to that last, Play,

3047
02:31:50,240 --> 02:31:53,280
Speaker 2: well how can he not be on the field when

3048
02:31:53,360 --> 02:31:54,360
Speaker 2: you had the ball the goal?

3049
02:31:54,440 --> 02:31:56,959
Speaker 3: LINE i still can't believe. That you, know it's.

3050
02:31:56,959 --> 02:31:59,600
