We're in such an era that and I guess 168 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: part of it is it's admirable that, hey, after such 169 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: a great moment, everybody would caught up in the in 170 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: the in the emotion of the United States winning the 171 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: gold medal and the celebration and I mean not the broadcast, true, 172 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: because they still pulled out to get the wide shot 173 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: of the crowd instead of the team celebrated. Yeah, but 174 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: there's something nice of that. But then I go back 175 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: to but not one person said, Hey, that puck is 176 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: worth a lot of money. Hey, that stick is worth 177 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: a lot of money. No, it rebably clows my mind though. 178 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 3: But like even now, like you and I, we've had 179 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 3: the opportunity to talk to a lot of people that 180 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 3: have played any number of sports through the years at 181 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 3: you know, collegiate stars, pro stars, and you talk to 182 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,599 Speaker 3: them about things they might have kept. You know, my 183 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 3: kid kept this, or you know my parents. Like I 184 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 3: got a chance to do an event a couple of 185 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 3: weeks ago with Bryce Young and I'm like, are you 186 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 3: swapping jersey? 187 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: Well, they're guys that I do with. But generally my parents. 188 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 3: Have taken up that for me, like either collecting cards 189 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 3: or the memorabilia whatever. So there's always the designated family 190 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 3: member that's like trying to keep it in perspective and 191 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 3: make sure that some of that stuff gets preserved. But 192 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 3: you think about it thirty forty years ago and some 193 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 3: of the stuff that comes up at auction or shows 194 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 3: up at a random good will or Salvation Army it's amazing. 195 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 3: I was like, well, this is a jersey from the fifties, 196 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 3: just was on a rack as Salvation Army. So you 197 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 3: never know what you're gonna find because the premium has 198 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 3: just been so much exacerbated in that market, exploding through 199 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 3: the years. 200 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: Man, I'll tell you a million dollar puck. Nobody picked 201 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: it up. Congratulations, Hall of Fame. 202 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 3: I still can't believe that though, like someone off the 203 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 3: equipment staff didn't pocket that. Realizing the payday, I'll tell you, 204 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 3: as exciting as it was, I mean, one person all 205 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 3: they needed to tell you, like, yep, I'm gonna go. 206 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 3: I don't need to skate, I'm gonna crawl on the 207 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 3: ice to the back of that net, past the angry Canadians. 208 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: Exit out about a Fresca exit swollen down, Jason Smith, Micarmon, 209 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: oh Wren memorabilia coming out. Just gonna watch the Golden Show. Yeah, 210 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: tell the episodes I've seen have been fantastic. H But 211 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: today was a big day. Tag day in the NFL. 212 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: Breesehall gets the franchise tag from the Jets. Kenneth Walker 213 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: gets no tag. He's gonna hit free agency with the Seahawks. 214 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones gets the seldom used transition tag, but clearly 215 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: the biggest one. Hey, Brece Hall most talented running back. Sorry, 216 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker, You'll have to take getting paid and being 217 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: Super Bowl MVP. But bres Hall gets the franchise tag 218 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: from the Jets, and I'm gonna talk to you real 219 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: about this. When this first came out, I watched the 220 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 1: responses other Jets fans people on social media, and I 221 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: see their point. Great moves, twenty four years old, terrific 222 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 1: running back, ran for a thousand yards of the really 223 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: bad team. It's hard to do. Brees Hall has been 224 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: a really good playmaker since he came into the league. 225 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 5: Right. 226 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: I love Bresall and you need to keep playmakers. However, 227 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have done this. I would have traded him 228 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: at the deadline and moved on because he's never been 229 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: the same guy he was As a rookie. He was great, 230 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: averaging like twelve yards of carry that he tears his 231 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: acl against Denver. And since he's come back, he's been good, 232 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,959 Speaker 1: but he hasn't been that breakaway guy. He's been good 233 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 1: and he's a really good player. And like I said, 234 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: I love bres Hall, Right, he's the second best playmaker 235 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: the Jets have behind Garrett Wilson. Right, I love bres Hall, 236 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: but he's not been that same guy. But still twenty 237 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: four and he's shown that he's pretty good. But this 238 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: is what gets me is that breas Hall wants two things, 239 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: all right. He wants to get paid and he wants 240 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: to get out of from with the Jets. Right, that's 241 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: what he wants. He wants to get paid the most, 242 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: but he also wants to get out from New York. 243 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: Understanding he doesn't control that. That's a bad combination to 244 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 1: pay someone when the number one thing they want is 245 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: to get paid, and you know they also would love 246 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: to get paid someplace else than where they are, right 247 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: because the Jets franchise him for you know, thirteen fourteen million. 248 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,599 Speaker 1: Darren Mougie the GM says, yeah, I feel like he 249 00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: wants to be here. Oh, oh that's where you're at. 250 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,079 Speaker 1: Feel like he wants to be here. I've seen all 251 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: his social media posts. He has been frustrated with the 252 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: Jets regularly and has hinted about wanting out, But he 253 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 1: doesn't control his destiny. When you pay someone who wants 254 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: to get paid but will get paid by anybody, even 255 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: the place he's at he doesn't want to be at. 256 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: That never works out well because if the Jets paid 257 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: Breeze Hall, I'll tell you what's gonna happen. Either the 258 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: relationship is still gonna sour and they're gonna have to 259 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: get rid of him anyway, because he's gonna be upset 260 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: with the losing. He's talked about stuff I want to 261 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: accomplish in my career, X, Y, and Z. Either you're 262 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: gonna have to move on from him and trade him 263 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: because he's gonna still be upset with the team, or 264 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 1: he's gonna get paid and then watch his stats drop. 265 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: Because when a guy wants to get paid and the 266 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: team that pays him is not the place he wants 267 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: to be, are you going out going crazy? Hey, I 268 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: gotta put myself on the line for this team. That's 269 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: a bad combination to have. The best thing for Breese 270 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: Hall would have been the Jets trade him at the deadline. 271 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: He can go anywhere he wants doing free agency, make 272 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: a lot of money. Jets would have gotten a good 273 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: pick back for him, probably a third round pick, maybe 274 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: could have juiced into a second round pick depending on 275 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: certain benchmarks Breese Hall makes. They could have turned into 276 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: a really big pick and they would have gotten rid 277 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: of a guy who was not happy. And you can't 278 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: have guys that aren't happy around. It doesn't work all 279 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: of a sudden. It's not gonna be happy to be 280 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: there because I got paid. Anybody that gets paid from 281 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: a place, they don't want to be. Okay, I'm there 282 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: for the money, and you're miserable. Look at Deseean Watson 283 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: didn't want to be a Cleveland Brown. We're gonna guarantee 284 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: you all this money. Look how miserable that's been from 285 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: both sides for the past five years. Right, that's why 286 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: the Breese Hall thing. I get it. It makes sense 287 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: on paper. But the guy doesn't want to be there. 288 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: And if you pay him long term, because they're gonna 289 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: still work on a long term deal, what's gonna happen 290 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: right this year? If he winds up playing the franchise tag. Yeah, okay, 291 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: maybe he winds up having a decent season, but he's 292 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: gonna go after this year and the Jets aren't gonna 293 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: get anything for him. Right. He put out a message 294 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: on social media today, I always bet on myself, So hey, great, 295 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: year this year for a three and fourteen team. Then 296 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: he's gonna be gone and the Jets aren't going to 297 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: get anything for him. They could have really sold high 298 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: in him when they were selling up a bunch of 299 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: other guys. That was the right move. This seems like 300 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: it was right, but really it wasn't. 301 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 3: Unless somebody gets truly desperate at the midpoint of the season, 302 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 3: then you'll have paid him about seven million dollars to 303 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 3: go on. Look, they give him the non exclusive tag 304 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 3: so someone could match or give them a better offer, 305 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 3: and then they'd have the opportunity the Jets to say no, 306 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 3: thank you and get two first round picks. 307 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: Well, we know that. 308 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 3: Sure as hell isn't gonna happen for a running back 309 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 3: as good as Breise Hall can be in spots, it's 310 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 3: the curiosity of what you think you can get in 311 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 3: the marketplace. Say he is motivated, right, bet on himself 312 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 3: while he has a good half a year, whatever you 313 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 3: do at quarterback, whatever you build around him, even if 314 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 3: you're not winning, that he can still show out, still 315 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 3: show he's one of the best running backs in the game. 316 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 3: And maybe you get better than that third or fourth 317 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 3: round pick than you would have had a year ago. 318 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 3: It's a dicey business proposition. A lot of the insiders say, well, 319 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 3: they're working towards the long term deal. To your point, 320 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 3: we've chronicled it, your jetstum and just our love of 321 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 3: ribbing each other with our respective team's angst. But brees 322 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 3: Hall is a guy clearly unhappy with the direction the 323 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 3: team has taken for the last two plus years. I 324 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 3: mean his entire run there with the Jets, but certainly 325 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 3: a much bigger picture now as you get into that 326 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 3: next phase of your career where you need that second, 327 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 3: second contract, where you're trying to get that big payday. 328 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 3: It's great to get the fourteen point three, that's fantastic, 329 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 3: but it doesn't get you to endgame and really you're 330 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 3: just kicking the tire down the road. 331 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: Exit. How about a Fresco exit swollen down the Jason 332 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carman. Yeah, on 333 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: the Surfa sounds great, but when you just look into 334 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: a little bit, yeah, probably should have moved on from earlier. 335 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: We got more NFL on the way, but straight ahead 336 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: a big preview of the World Baseball Classic.

Are men covering it all? Longtime 358 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: Baseball insider MLB Network with us here at Fox Sports Radio. 359 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: Back from Italy where he try to get an interview 360 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: with Pope Leo. John Palmer Rosi's I guess right now, 361 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 1: John Paul, what's happening man? How are you welcome back? 362 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 5: Outstanding Gazi? No interview with the Pope, but I did 363 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 5: see two gold medal winning hockey games for the United 364 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 5: States of America, so that was a pretty successful trip 365 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 5: all the way around. And no word yet on if 366 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 5: Pope Leo plans to attend the US versus Italy match 367 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 5: in the World Baseball Classic in Houston coming up within 368 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 5: the week. That would be a great venued interview the Pope. 369 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 5: But if if it doesn't happen, then I will look 370 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 5: for the next opportunity, either maybe during the World Cup 371 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 5: or another chance and hopefully is coming our way. 372 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: So you know, what would have been a even better 373 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: trip to Italy for you? 374 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 5: What's that? You know? 375 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: It would have been a better trip if you had 376 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 1: gotten the Jack Hues game winning puck. You'd had a 377 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: million dollar puck. 378 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 5: So that was my first question was where did the 379 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 5: puck go? And in whose hands did it find itself? 380 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 5: Because it went into the net so sneakily to begin 381 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 5: with that it had a certain mystery about it all 382 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 5: the way along. And yes, well I was. I was 383 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 5: in the stands and not in approximate location to be 384 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 5: able to fish that puck out of the net. Remember, 385 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,959 Speaker 5: there is still I may be mistaken on this, but 386 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 5: there was a lot of mystery about where the Chicago 387 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,959 Speaker 5: Blackhawks twenty ten puck went. It was the game in 388 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 5: Philly ended in such chaotic fashion that there was a 389 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 5: mystery about that one too, So add that one to 390 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 5: the list. 391 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: Did you at least steal me a couple of ticket studs? 392 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 5: So here's the interesting thing about that all tickets one 393 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 5: of the words no, so I did not. All tickets 394 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 5: were digital. I am contemplating ordering the actual paper tickets 395 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 5: after the fact. That's actually a question. Instead of you 396 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 5: asking me questions, I'm gonna put that to you. Is 397 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 5: that a worthwhile thing. 398 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 3: To happen if you can get the paper tickets printed? Yes, 399 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 3: pay whatever you need to. Yeah, you used to have 400 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 3: a kiosk at Staples Center where you could do that 401 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 3: with your game ticket. It is well worth that the 402 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 3: marketplace for ticket stubs is starting to explode and only 403 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,239 Speaker 3: a fraction of people will actually do it. 404 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 5: Interesting, Well, I have gotten insights into the world of 405 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 5: ticket stubs from you this evening, and I appreciate it 406 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 5: very much. Yeah, I gotta work on that now. 407 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:46,719 Speaker 1: It would have been easier if you just went over 408 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: the boards and got the puck. Kenny Albert would have broadcasted. 409 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 1: And there's John Paul Morosi looking to get the puck. 410 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 1: There he is MLB Networks home looking at him. He's 411 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: got it. He's trying to find his way off the ice, 412 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 1: weaving his way past Connor Hellibuk. 413 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 5: I saw Kenny. I saw Kenny before that game, actually 414 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 5: in the on the third level of the of the stands. 415 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 5: I think I did I tell you that the story 416 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 5: about seeing ROUSIONI. If I didn't, I can tell you 417 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 5: what happened. So I was a great conversation with my 418 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 5: friend Steve Buckley, longtime Boston Columbus, who, of course Eruzioni knows. 419 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 5: And so I was there on the concourse at the 420 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 5: little snack par there behind where the press was sitting, 421 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 5: and uh, and Eruzioni walks up and says I to Steve, 422 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 5: and then he says alone to me, very unlikely that 423 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 5: he knew had any clue who I was, nor should 424 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 5: he but he says alone to me, and I said, Mike, 425 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 5: I have with me here the copy of La Gazette 426 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 5: Dento Sport, which is my favorite publication in the world, 427 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 5: really daily publication, because it is an all sports newspaper, 428 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 5: all in Italian, the best. And I said, Mike, this 429 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 5: story right here, like the center display of the paper 430 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 5: was was all about the men's hockey gold medal game, 431 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 5: and and the the the page I'm looking at it 432 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 5: right now is miraco jacio, which we can guess what 433 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 5: that means, miracle on ice luto a, meaning that was 434 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 5: the last time the US won. So I have this 435 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 5: paper in Italian and I showed it. I said, Mike, 436 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 5: look this, this paper is all in Italian. And look 437 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 5: there's there's your name. Your name is in this story. 438 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 5: It's in the story right here, so it's it's in 439 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 5: our native language about the miracle on ice. And Mike 440 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 5: looks at me and smiles and says, the only word 441 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 5: I know in Italian is and he said something I 442 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 5: can't repeat on the earth. So uh, that was that's 443 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 5: my Eruzione story. That was our conversation before the gold 444 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 5: medal game. And of course hours later at long last 445 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 5: he had some company among the the gold medalists, among 446 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 5: the American men at the Olympic winner game. 447 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: All right, now you leave the U the comfort of 448 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: Milan and the Italy Olympics to head to the World 449 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: Baseball Classic. If I said to you your confidence level 450 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 1: of the United States winning the WBC on a scale 451 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: of one to ten. If one is forget it not happening, 452 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: ten is yes, it's gonna happen, regardless of whatever Aaron 453 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 1: Judge says. Where are you right now? You're confidence level 454 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: for the. 455 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 5: United States, I've got it at a five. It's a 456 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 5: it's a toss up, and maybe even I would bump 457 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 5: that down a little bit to a four in the 458 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 5: sense that if you gave me all the teams in 459 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 5: the World Baseball Classic in one bucket and said, do 460 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 5: you think the winner's going to come from this bucket 461 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 5: or is the winner going to be the United States? 462 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 5: I would take I would take the field, I think, 463 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 5: And there's no disrespect to the US. The US may 464 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 5: in fact have the best chance of anybody, but I 465 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 5: don't think it's more than fifty percent. Right now, there's 466 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 5: this there's so many good teams. I don't know, the 467 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 5: Dominican Republic played the Tigers tonight, a quality ball club, 468 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 5: and like the last home run landed in my front 469 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 5: yard like five minutes ago. I mean, like all the 470 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 5: way from Senator to Mingo. I mean that lineup is unreal. 471 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 5: Team Japan maybe not quite as formidable as they were 472 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 5: last time around. Of course, if Twany is not pitching, 473 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 5: the pitching depth doesn't seem to be there. But I 474 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 5: do think Korea is better, Taiwan is better. Venezuela competitive again, 475 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 5: as I mentioned, the Dominicans are certainly better. So in 476 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 5: a one one game playoff situation, anything can happen. So 477 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 5: I think the US probably still has the best chance 478 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 5: of any individual nation of winning it. But I don't 479 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,719 Speaker 5: think any individual nation is above fifty percent. There's just 480 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 5: there's too many excellent baseball nations right now coming. 481 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 3: Off of the Olympics and end of this competition. I mean, 482 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 3: I would have hoped for a little more raw row 483 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 3: from Aaron Judge in that speech that went viral JP. 484 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know how inspiring that necessarily was. 485 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 5: Well, I think that that first of all, everybody's gonna 486 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 5: lead the way that they that they want to lead, 487 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 5: and and it's it's not It's not fair to expect 488 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 5: that Aaron Judge is going to be Herb Brooks. It's different, 489 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 5: different different sport, different time. Uh, maybe not even fair 490 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 5: to expect him to be Austin Matthews and Brady could chuck. 491 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 5: Everybody's going to be their own person, their own leader. 492 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 4: Uh. 493 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 5: I think that that from where I sit, that Aaron's 494 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 5: confidence is perfect. He's what he said is probably quite 495 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 5: similar to what Derek Jeter would have said in a 496 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 5: similar circumstance. And he has played every game of his 497 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 5: career pressure packed because the Yankees are supposed to win 498 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 5: every game. And and I think that he has worn 499 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 5: that mantle of captain of the Yankees face of baseball 500 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 5: as well as anybody possibly could. And I think that 501 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 5: the ethos to me of Team USA is we're really talented. 502 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,919 Speaker 5: We just need to play play, respect the competition, respect 503 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 5: the game, stay within ourselves, and we've got an excellent 504 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,360 Speaker 5: chance to win this tournament. And I think he's right. 505 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 5: The pitching, obviously is always the big question in this tournament. 506 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 5: But when you look at this lineup, I think they 507 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 5: can beat you in different ways than maybe they did 508 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 5: in past years. It's not just an All Star team 509 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 5: with a bunch of sluggers. They've got some players that 510 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 5: can play small balls, need be. I love Roman Anthony 511 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 5: being on this team. I love Bryce Draang being on 512 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 5: this team. Some of the younger guys that have really 513 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,880 Speaker 5: emerged a lot. So I'm a fan of the way 514 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:49,239 Speaker 5: that they've put this team together, certainly Mark Durosa and 515 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 5: Andy Pettitt. They've got some rules around the pitching usage, 516 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 5: whether it's scoobable schemes or anybody else, that is totally normal. 517 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 5: Basically every American roster ever has had all with that. 518 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 5: That's the price of having great pitchers that are on 519 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 5: major league teams that want to protect them. Now, the 520 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 5: one thing I think is fascinating here is is Kershaw 521 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 5: is totally uninimited. He can do whatever he darn well bleazes, 522 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 5: and so it's not out of the realm of possibility 523 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 5: that a retired Clayton Kershaw will rank at the end 524 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 5: of the day among the five or six leaders in 525 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,919 Speaker 5: its pitched just because he doesn't have a boss telling 526 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 5: him what he can and can't do like everybody else does. 527 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,959 Speaker 1: John Ballist we had a long discussion on this last night, 528 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:45,479 Speaker 1: and I was called anti American. I don't understand something 529 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: we're not being told. Here's Clayton Kersher retired from Major 530 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: League Baseball winning the World Series. The Dodgers know we 531 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,360 Speaker 1: can only throw him out there for a very short 532 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 1: amount of time in one game in the World Series, 533 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: and it worked out well for him. But he's retired. 534 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: But I'm going to go through the entire offseason. I'm 535 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: gonna train and I'm gonna get ready. And he looks 536 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: it looks like he's been training, doesn't quite have the 537 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: dad body had the end of the last couple of years, 538 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: but he knows coming in. Mark Turosis said, yeah, no 539 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 1: guarantees even gonna pitch, So that something doesn't compute with 540 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,199 Speaker 1: me here that he retired. But i want to be 541 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: on the WBC team. But I'm not even guaranteed to pitch. 542 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: Something's not computing here. 543 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 5: We wants to wear the uniform. That's a pretty cool 544 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 5: way to go out. I actually think it makes complete sense. 545 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,439 Speaker 5: First of all, one of the most vital things that 546 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 5: you must have on a team in a tournament like 547 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 5: this where every inning is precious. Let's say tm USA 548 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 5: is leading Brazil nine to nothing and it's the eighth inning. 549 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 5: Instead of using David Betnar and the guys you need 550 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 5: for tomorrow's game, put Kersher out there and you know, 551 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 5: if things get goofy, I guess you still have Bednar there, 552 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 5: but cover those innings. It is not about throwing the 553 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 5: best guys in every inning. It is lining up your 554 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 5: pitching the best that you can to win the relay 555 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 5: race of seven games. That's the goal. It's the four 556 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 5: pool play games and you hope you play quarterfinal, semifinals 557 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 5: seven games. That's it. It is as short of a 558 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 5: tournament as you could possibly imagine. So it is about 559 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 5: getting as many big outs from your best pitchers as possible. 560 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 5: And if you have a nine to nothing lead on Brazil, 561 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 5: you do not need to waste schemes in that situation. 562 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 5: Get Kershaw on the game, Get some of your lower 563 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 5: leverage guys in the game. Ryan Yarborough Kershaw, get him 564 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 5: in there. And that's just smart managing for me. So 565 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 5: I realize there is a little bit of stage craft here. 566 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 5: This is baseball. Let's dull show business. I get it. 567 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 5: But he can actually serve a very valuable purpose and 568 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 5: that he's the only pitcher on the roster whose GM 569 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 5: is not sending Mark de Rosa a usage restriction that 570 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 5: looks something like the the you know, the the fifty 571 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 5: five page plans of a whole home generator that you got, 572 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 5: And that's what it looks like. It's not that, it's 573 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 5: it's with Kershard say hey, he's here, you can pitch. 574 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 5: That's it, And I think that's actually a very important 575 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 5: thing to have on your team. 576 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at John Morosi. He is on Twitter 577 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: again at John Morosi. By that philosophy, John Paul would 578 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: be okay to say, hey, John Paul, we're gonna send 579 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: you to cover the World Baseball Classic. Get ready. Okay, 580 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: that's great, but we can't guarantee you that you're gonna 581 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: be on TV. Wait wait, wait what wait? Not just 582 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: go cover the cloud? We can't, but we can't guarantee 583 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 1: you're gonna be on TV. All right, go for the experience, 584 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: John Paul MOROSSI, Yeah. 585 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 5: You get it. Hey, listen, man, listen, these guys they're 586 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 5: not staying in a in a low budget one star hotel. 587 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 2: Man. 588 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 5: Okay, I mean there's a nice hotel hanging out with 589 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 5: a lot of really cool people.

All those things I think are 591 00:29:59,600 --> 00:29:59,959 Speaker 5: pretty good. 592 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: John Paul is always appreciated.

The Jason Smith Show with My best 726 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 1: friend Mike Harmon, so Tag Day in the NFL. We 727 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 1: talked about Breeze Hall earlier this hour. Day in the 728 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 1: Franchise Tag from the Jets. 729 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 2: You're it in theory. 730 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 1: Sounds great, but I told you why bad idea. Kenneth Walker. 731 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: Super Bowl MVP. Kenneth Walker'll be allowed to test free agency. 732 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:07,280 Speaker 1: I've already seen some rumors online of where the Seahawks 733 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 1: are gonna go to replace him. Look, we said it 734 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,320 Speaker 1: at the time. I got a lot of hate from Seattle. 735 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 1: It's okay, I got big shoulders. KJR will have me 736 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,759 Speaker 1: on any time I want to. We told you they 737 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,360 Speaker 1: had to move on from Kenneth Walker. He is a 738 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 1: league average running back who splits time. That's at best 739 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 1: who he is. He only had the lion's share of 740 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,799 Speaker 1: the carries because Zach Charbonnay got hurt. And I give 741 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 1: him a lot of credit because he played the best 742 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 1: football of his life at the absolute best time the 743 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,360 Speaker 1: last couple of playoff games, super Bowl MVP. I'm happy 744 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,239 Speaker 1: for him. He's gonna go somewhere in cash and he's 745 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 1: gonna get paid. But the Seahawks, you want to keep 746 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 1: that championship window open, you gotta pick where you're gonna 747 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,799 Speaker 1: spend money, and you can't spend money on Kenneth Walker, right. 748 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 1: The guy is, He's just a guy. Can he help 749 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,840 Speaker 1: other teams, Sure, other teams that are really running back bereft, 750 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 1: but you're gonna have Sharbonay coming back. There's other guys 751 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 1: out there that are gonna be cheaper. Kenneth Walker is 752 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 1: someone if he was great, if he was dynamic, I 753 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 1: would say okay. But he's a you know, a little 754 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: over four yard per carry guy. We've seen the best 755 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 1: of them and and he's just okay. He's in the 756 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: middle of the pack in every running back metric you 757 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 1: want to look at. Again, great games at the best time, right, 758 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: but he is a super Bowl here's one of those 759 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: guys you look back, we're looking back in you know, ten, fifteen, 760 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 1: twenty years in a whow Remember Kenneth Walker, that guy 761 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 1: was super Bowl MVP. Like we look back at guys 762 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,279 Speaker 1: like Timmy Smith that were Super Bowl MVP, guys that 763 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,800 Speaker 1: then hey, cash in because they have their best games 764 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,440 Speaker 1: of a career. That is an okay career at the 765 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 1: right time. Kenneth Walker certainly is young, he certainly has talent, 766 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 1: but overall, there's better places to spend your money. He 767 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 1: is replaceable for the Seahawks. Yeah, he's one of those guys. 768 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 3: They also put a tag On Holani, second year guy 769 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 3: that's played down the stretch for Walker, one of the 770 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,279 Speaker 3: best things. He was part of the passing game far 771 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 3: more frequently down the stretch and into the playoffs, which 772 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 3: makes him look a little more attractive even then than 773 00:38:58,480 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 3: he was. 774 00:38:58,880 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 1: Right. 775 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,799 Speaker 3: Thirty one catches in the regular season, nine in the postseason, 776 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 3: So showing that aptitude and the toughness as that touch 777 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,800 Speaker 3: count went up, you know he'll He'll be a great 778 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 3: fit for say the Kansas City Chiefs if they can 779 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 3: clear enough cap space, or the Vikings as they move 780 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 3: on from Aaron Jones and look to support whomever the 781 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 3: next quarterback is alongside JJ McCarthy and go on down 782 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 3: the line. But to commit that much money to the 783 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 3: running back position when you already have Charmonague, who they 784 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 3: think will be back soon enough from the injury. You 785 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 3: have Alani and you can go back into the draft 786 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 3: and in free agency and cut your costs there while 787 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 3: you try to retain so many other free agents. 788 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's best to move on. Yeah, I mean, look, 789 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 1: it's if everything was equal, you had money, you could 790 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 1: do it. I see it. But you have to make 791 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 1: a tough call. And I get that it's emotional. I 792 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: get it's really really difficult because the guy just won 793 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 1: Super Bowl MVP. But this is the NFL calendar, you know, 794 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,279 Speaker 1: we turn it the next year right after right, not 795 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,040 Speaker 1: too long ago. We had the commercial right after the 796 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 1: game ended was hey, the sun will come out tomorrow. 797 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 1: We're all zero and zero. Right, it's not too long. 798 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,480 Speaker 1: That's just kind of how it goes. And if you 799 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 1: want to keep Kenneth walking, you want to pay him, 800 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,279 Speaker 1: you want to franchise him or pay him long term. 801 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 1: What top five guys are getting, that's not gonna help you, right, 802 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,640 Speaker 1: because he's not that good here. What he has given 803 00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:18,640 Speaker 1: you is replaceable. 804 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you're just talking about the the tag 805 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,839 Speaker 3: with Breis Hall. I mean it's fourteen point two million dollars, right, 806 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,279 Speaker 3: Are you looking to pay that kind of money?
