27
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: Let's all have a bowl of pasta fazzoule for Tommy DeVito.

28
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: That was crazy. First of all, if you're a Green

29
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: Bay Packer fan, you're bummed out. But that game had

30
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: trouble written all over it. I had sat on FS

31
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: one today. I thought the Packers would win close, but

32
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: I thought it was going to be choppy. So you

33
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: just beat the Super Bowl champs at Lambeau. You got

34
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: the youngest team in the league. Your deep threat Christian

35
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: Watson's not there. You're feeling yourself. You beat the Lines

36
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: and the Chargers and the Chiefs. You're feeling yourself. You

37
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: go in now as a favorite on Monday Night Football

38
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: with a really young team Tommy DeVito's playing pretty well,

39
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: bit of a gamer, and the Giants defense can make plays.

40
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: They made some really nice plays in the secondary. So

41
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: that game had trouble written all over it. I thought

42
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: that the Packers, I mean, how many near touchdowns did

43
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: they have before they finally got that one to take

44
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: the lead with a couple of minutes left. So it happens.

45
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: It's really hard on the NFL with a young team,

46
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: especially to play great four straight weeks. That's really hard.

47
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: If you would have asked Matt Lafleur privately, I think

48
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: he would have told you this game scares the heck

49
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: out of him. So you know, it's just one of

50
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: those You go in as a big favorite with a

51
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: young team, you played great three weeks in a row.

52
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: You know, it just happens. And this game listen in

53
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: a weird way. The Giants should have won it because

54
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: if Saquon Barkley on that odd fumble, you don't see

55
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: that very often. If he didn't fumble, there I kick

56
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: a field goal or get a touchdown. And the Giants

57
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: were moving the ball in the second half on Green

58
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: Bay repeatedly. They were moving the football. There was a

59
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: good chance they score a touchdown with the mobility of

60
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: Tommy DeVito. They had to put that game away there.

61
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: So they had to come back from behind make some plays.

62
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: But so don't lose a lot of sleep if you're

63
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: a Packer fan. It's a good team. It's a young team,

64
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: it's an athletic team. They're going to score some points.

65
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: Defense did not play great in the second half, but

66
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: Green Bay's okay, I think they're gonna be a playoff team.

67
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: But I want to talk about Tommy DeVito. So you know,

68
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: great high school player from the area, little college star. Right,

69
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: Tommy DeVito does not succeed if he has a defensive coach. Okay, Now,

70
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: Seahawks with a backup quarterback, Steelers with a backup quarterback,

71
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: New England with a backup quarterback, and until this weekend,

72
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: the Jets with backup quarterbacks. A complete s show defensive coaches.

73
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: Yet Atlanta with a backup, Indianapolis with a backup, Cleveland

74
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: with Joe Flacco, the Giants with Tommy DeVito, all offensive

75
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: coaches remain viable. There is no question defensive coaches can

76
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: win football games if they've got a good quarterback. But

77
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: when you urgently have to make it up in the

78
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: middle of a season, you get a backup quarterback. I

79
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: do not think defensive coaches are equipped to handle it.

80
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: It is not a coincidence that eleven of the fourteen

81
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: current playoff teams have offensive coaches. That is not a coincidence.

82
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: It is also not a coincidence that the three most

83
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: improved offenses in the National Football League in the second

84
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: half of the season are the Rams, the Broncos, and

85
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers, all offensive coaches. Come on, it's

86
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: not a coincidence. Tommy DeVito, you give him Mike Tomlin.

87
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: I mean, look at the Steelers. They have Mitch Trubisky

88
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: as a backup. Mitch Trubisky made the playoffs twice in Chicago,

89
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: not a well run organization with offensive coach Matt Naggy

90
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: who got fired. Okay, made the playoffs twice. Aaron Rodgers

91
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: was in his prime in that division and Mitch Trubisky.

92
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: They had a good defense, but Kirk Cousins was in

93
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: his prime, Aaron Rodgers in his prime, Matt Stafford was

94
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: in that division at the time close to his prime,

95
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: and Mitchell Frickin' Trubisky made the playoffs twice. He goes

96
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh disaster, unwatchable, can't get first downs. It's not luck,

97
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: it's not What Brian Dabole is doing is on the

98
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: fly coaching up a young, talented kid that's got some mobility.

99
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: DeVito's not real big, doesn't have a big arm, but

100
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: he can move. And I think this is just you

101
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: have to think long and hard. If you're the Patriots

102
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: and you hire a new coach, or you're the Raiders,

103
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 1: We'll see what they do there with Antonio Pierce. Chicago,

104
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: if they hire a new coach Tampa, if they hire

105
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: a new coach, man, you really got to think twice

106
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: about hiring a defensive guy. This is Tommy DeVito is

107
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: not talented enough to move that offense up and down

108
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: the field off a pretty talented Green Bay defense with

109
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: a defensive coach. I know I've been banging on this forever,

110
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: but I'm a huge Day Bowl fan. I mean, look

111
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: at Buffalo. They have no offense. It's regressed terribly. I mean,

112
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: what happened to Von Diggs, what happened to Gabe Davis.

113
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: They don't throw the ball down the field anymore. With

114
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: the strongest arm in the league, Josh Allen Sean McDermott,

115
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: defensive coach. All right, enough, nice win for the Giants.

116
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: I thought that game. You know, sometimes sports gives you gifts.

117
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: I mean like when you watched you know, Buffalo Kansas City,

118
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: you would expect that would be a good game. You know,

119
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: we occasionally get games we know they're going to be good,

120
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: and they're good. But when you go into this game

121
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: tonight and I'm thinking, oh, I want to watch Miami

122
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: ug and I'm thinking, just just Jordan Love, Tommy de Vido,

123
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: give me something here, give me, give me something. I

124
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: was entertained for three and a half hours. How about

125
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: that way to go pasta fazoul for everybody? All right,

126
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the show. Hey, o Tani

127
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: deal for the Dodgers. You know, there's not a lot

128
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: that gets once you're a syndicated radio host or a

129
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: TV host. It's hard. Whether you're on First Take, Undisputed

130
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: my show, it's hard to talk baseball. I mean, it's

131
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: twice as long as the NBA regular season, which is

132
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,239
Speaker 1: too long. And so when you're doing a national show,

133
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: right when you're doing a local show, if you're if

134
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: you're Mike Felger, in Boston. You can talk about baseball

135
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: you want. If you're Michael Kay in New York, talk

136
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: baseball you want, if you're in Saint Louis, Detroit, even

137
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. I listen to shows they talk baseball, but

138
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: on a syndicated level, it's very hard. It's a very

139
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: regional sport. There's very few stars, and there's no urgency show.

140
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: Hey Otani is the exception. We've probably talked about him

141
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: on the heard about six or seven times this year.

142
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: But you know, I saw a lot of pushback because

143
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: of the deferred payments the Dodgers creatively have used for

144
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: Mookie Betts. I think Freddie Freeman and now show Heyo Tani,

145
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: which allows them to be viable now and competitive now

146
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: and defer those payments down the road and those players

147
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: when they move out of California, show hey Otani doesn't

148
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: have to pay that thirteen point three percent of California

149
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: tax if he moves somewhere else in America post baseball career.

150
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: But don't blame the Dodgers for being creative. And I've

151
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: said this so I lived out East for ten years.

152
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: I have a place on the beach in Rhode Island,

153
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: I absolutely love it. I loved so much. I love

154
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: the people, I love the tradition, the boarding schools, just

155
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: nan Tucket, the churches, the principal nature of the East Coast.

156
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: There are so many cool traditions back there, and as

157
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: a West Coast kid, I found it absolutely fascinating. But

158
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: the West Coast is less parochial, more entrepreneurial, and many

159
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: of the great innovations of our modern time are West Coast.

160
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: I used to always joke on the East Coast, once

161
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: you get rich, you buy a nicer tie. On the

162
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: West Coast, once you get rich, you'll never wear a

163
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: tie again. It's just a different mindset. Neither one is

164
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: necessarily better, although I do think innovations happen more often

165
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: out West Silicon Valley, out West. That iPhone you've got

166
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: in your hand, Apple, that search engine you use Google,

167
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: Silicon Valley, the Zoom Revolution, Netflix and Chill West West

168
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: West West. And when you talk about sports, the Dodgers

169
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: were just very creative. The three ball revolutions, small ball

170
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: out west, chip Kelly to play every thirteen seconds out West,

171
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: the West Coast offense, the Shanahan offense. You know, you

172
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: know the most innovative sports company of my life, arguably

173
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: Nike beavert and Oregon. I just think the West sees

174
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: the world differently, not necessarily better. It's not, however, steeped

175
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: in tradition, and I think the Dodgers have always been

176
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: a step in ahead of a lot of East Coast

177
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: teams on research and development and innovation with contracts, and

178
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: it's clever, you know. I they were on this Otani

179
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: deal for two years and I said it repeatedly on

180
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio and FS one is that Dodgers were

181
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: front runners on this. I never thought there was a

182
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 1: second team, but they didn't want to look like bullies.

183
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: As neighbors to the Angels. The Dodgers draw ten thousand

184
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: more people per game than the second best attendance team

185
00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball. They are a revenue monster. Moved

186
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: off Bellinger, they moved off Turner, they gave Kershaw one

187
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: year deal. They've been loading up for Shoheo Tani for

188
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: over a year, and they have been looking and discussing this.

189
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 1: I've been told for two years. And so the deferred

190
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: payment is a smart way to bring him in. It's

191
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: not going to end major League Baseball. Jesus, Why was

192
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: it okay for the Yankees? You know, fifteen twenty years

193
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: ago in the Hot Stove League, the Yankees and the

194
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: Red Sox to buy all the players. I didn't hear

195
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: anybody out he's complaining then, So why is it bad

196
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers to defer payment as a revenue machine?

197
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: Now it's not. There's just a percentage of sports fans

198
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: who don't like change. I mean, oh, transfer portal, it's

199
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: the end of college football. Really. Just see the three

200
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: Heisman finalists, all transfer portal players. Did you see the

201
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: ratings in college football? Was the most watched college football

202
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: season ever. Remember when Pac twelve dissolved. Going to the

203
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: Big Ten. It's going to ruin the sport. Next year

204
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: we'll set television records. I've just learned over time. In

205
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: the East Coast, it's more provincial. It's more about tradition.

206
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: That tradition is awesome, from the churches to the boarding schools,

207
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: to the law firms to Wall Street. You know, a

208
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: little tinge of jealousy. When I went out East for

209
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: a decade, I loved it. I would go on these

210
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: long drives through Connecticut and New York and we'd go

211
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: to these, you know, almost like castles, and these these

212
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 1: prep schools, and our kids didn't go to any of them.

213
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: But I thought it was amazing, and it's just something

214
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: that is so unique to the Northeast part of the country.

215
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: I love it. Still go there every summer. Love it.

216
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: But I think sometimes it can hold you back in

217
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: life if you're looking in the rearview mirror. And the

218
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: Dodgers deserve credit. And I think sports is better when

219
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: we're innovating. I don't care if it's Bill Walsh's West

220
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: Coast offense or Shanahan's offense or Chip Kelly no huddle football,

221
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: Eric Coriel with Dan Fouts. I'm all for new stuff.

222
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: It helps us grow. And the Dodgers deserve credit. Nobody

223
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: out East was complaining when the Yes Network was a

224
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: decade ahead of every other cable sports regional entity and

225
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: they were just buying the best players. Everybody just embraced it.

226
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: In New York. The Dodgers have more money, they're more aggressive,

227
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: they're a step ahead of other teams, and they're R

228
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: and D and good for them. Otani is a remarkable player.

229
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: He is I think the only player in baseball that

230
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: is a regular topic for me. I'm the ultimate baseball casual.

231
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: But you could see this thing coming from a mile away.

232
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: You know. You can criticize the Angels for not getting

233
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: anything for Otani, and I certainly think they were never

234
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: a viable contender. They just don't have the stadium revenue

235
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: or the TV revenue to be able to pay that

236
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: kind of money. And everybody knew a year ago it

237
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: was going to be a five, six hundred or more

238
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: million dollar deal. But you know, Otani gave the Angels

239
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: hope and optimism and they haven't had a lot of

240
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: that in the last decade. So so be it. Angels lost,

241
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: Dodgers win. I don't think it's the end of baseball.

242
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: I think the Braves and the Astros will remain viable.

243
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: The Yankees had an off year, They'll be fine. The

244
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: well run teams will be competitive as always. Very hard

245
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: to buy a World Series. Ask the Mets and asked

246
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: the Padres. The volume
