So here in hour number two, are you 12 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: sad to see Clayton Kershaw retire from the Dodgers?

Will the Dodgers 14 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 1: rally around Clayton Kershaw to win the twenty twenty five 15 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 1: World Series?

So our lead 36 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: this hour is from baseball. Some of our p ones 37 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: were upset that I did not begin the show with this. 38 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: I felt it was not worthy of top billing on 39 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: and I have editorial control. I have editorial control, so 40 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: that was my my decision. So the story here, the 41 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: end of the road, the end of the road. That's right, 42 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: Nana nana nan naa. Good bye Clayton Kershaw. We learned 43 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: that the Dodger pitcher Clayton Kershaw is quitting baseball. He's done. 44 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: That's it. He will finally retire, hallelujah at the end 45 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: of the season. Eighteen years in Major League Baseball and 46 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,839 Speaker 1: really stealing money for the last five or six. Kershaw's 47 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: final start of the regular season at Dodgers Stadium will 48 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: take place later on Friday night against the Giants. The 49 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: Dodgers currently lead the National League wild card race, and 50 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: they are right there with the Padres neck and neck. 51 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: Down the stretch. They actually lead the Padres in the division. 52 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: It is unlikely they're going to be in the wildcard round. 53 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: That's the problem, because they're not gonna have one of 54 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: the top two records. So it is unlikely though that 55 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw, his old bag of bones, will be in 56 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: the postseason rotation. So Kershaw will be making his final 57 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: start barring several Tommy John injuries, which is not out 58 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: of the question. With Dave Roberts and the Nerds managing 59 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: the Dodgers. So Kershaw is thirty seven, and he will 60 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: make his final start against the Higantes, long time rivals there, 61 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: the Giants and the Dodgers, and then he will fade away, 62 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: become a team ambassador and still get paid a ton 63 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: of money to do nothing, which is pretty much what 64 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: he's been doing the last several years. So it is 65 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: the hour of Clayton Kershaw. Let's discuss. Let's get into it. 66 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: The question, are you sad to see Clayton Kershaw retire 67 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: from the Dodgers. I'm getting that vibe. All this is 68 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: a sad thing. So my observations on this. I've got 69 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: Christmas Light, clown College, and Wendy's and we will combine 70 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are going to 71 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: make your Babushka's favorite tiketos. You probably didn't think You're 72 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: Babushka had a favorite taketo, but I'm guessing she does 73 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: so number All right, Am I supposed to shed a 74 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: tear here? No? Do I need to go out and 75 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: get a clean xbox or something like that. Get a tissue? Please? 76 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,679 Speaker 1: It's time. It is I do not understand the coverage. 77 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: It has been time. It has been time This is 78 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: not a sad thing. This is a great thing. He 79 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: should have retired five years ago. Instead, Kershaw has been 80 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: hanging out at Dodgers Stadium like that one Christmas light 81 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: you forgot to take down, and then you realize, wait 82 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 1: a minute's June, I should have taken that down. Why 83 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: is that thing still there? A part time player body 84 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: breaking down year after year after year, and the Dodgers 85 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: kept re signing him every season. They kept running his 86 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 1: old ass out there like he's still the cy young pitcher. 87 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: And since the pandemic, you realized Kershaw. Here we are 88 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Since the pandemic, Kershaw has one season 89 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: over one hundred and thirty innings pissed one. That is 90 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: mascot territory. That is mascot territory. You're paying him to 91 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: sit in the dugout and look nostalgic in the uniform. 92 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: That's what they've been doing. He's been well. Pat Kershaw's 93 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: earned eighty six million dollars since twenty twenty one for 94 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: a guy who at best is a midweek starter and 95 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: at worst a just a good luck charm you like 96 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: to have on the team. And listen, I'm not gonna 97 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: sit here and say, at his peak, he was an 98 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: amazing regular season player, an amazing regular season pitcher. No 99 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: one is denying that. No one's denying that. The last 100 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: couple of years, it's been Weekend at Bernie's is what 101 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: it's been. The baseball version. The Dodgers kept propping him 102 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: up because it made everyone feel all warm and fuzzy. 103 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: Oh we've got Kershaw. And so they end up just 104 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: burning money for a part time pitcher because he used 105 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: to be good. If anything, the Dodger fan, the real 106 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: Dodger fan, should be relieved. It clears the deck. No 107 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: more pretending, no more make believe with Kershaw, and you 108 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,679 Speaker 1: can still have him out there and parade him out 109 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 1: and pay him a bunch of money to be a 110 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: team ambassador and one of those no show jobs and 111 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: all that, and so move on. Somebody else will be 112 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: in there. They'll be fine. Now, page two. This is 113 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: something that I kept hearing and reading, and I wanted 114 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: to give my two cents on this. There's a popular 115 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: opinion among popular people the baseball blogger world, the blogger sphere, 116 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: that the Dodgers are going to be inspired by Clayton Kershaw. 117 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: So will the Dodgers rally around Clayton Kershaw to win 118 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five World Series. They're gonna win the 119 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: series for Kershaw, all right, So let's tackle this. This 120 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: is a Hollywood script that is now being passed around 121 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: as the gospel. So on this one, I have a 122 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: few words. Are you out of your mind? This is 123 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: the kind of drek, absolute drek, that they give out 124 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: in Sportswriter clown College. You go to Sportswriter clown College, 125 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: you cue the montage aging hero championship bath, fade to black. 126 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: That's it, right, It's remember the Titans meets Fields of 127 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: Dream Fields of Dream Dreams. Rather and only it's the 128 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five Dodgers, who've looked more like a country 129 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: club softball team than a bunch of dolls. I want 130 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: some dogs. I don't even know cats. I need a dog. No, 131 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: the Huches are not dogs, they're kiddi cats. And that's 132 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: just the way they've been all year. Now will that change? 133 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: I'm not holding my breath for that to change. But 134 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: this group has been mostly spineless this year. It's a 135 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: roster of floaters and said, oh, they're a playoff team. 136 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: How could you say that they're an underachieving team. This 137 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: team should have won one hundred and ten games, and 138 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: they're gonna sneak into the playoffs. It's embarrassing. And the 139 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 1: guys who walk into that Dodger clubhouse, they collect their 140 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: giant fat checks, good for them, and they coast along 141 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: the trainer's room at Dodger Stadium. I'm told it's not 142 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: a medical facility, it's a social club. They ought to 143 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: have a bartender and they're handing out mohidos. My god, 144 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: this is the mantra of the franchise. Do the bare minimum. 145 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: They've institutionalized this, and Kershaw has been a part of it. 146 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: You don't push pitchers, you don't push players, you don't 147 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: push anyone. It just floats along and hash to check 148 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: and Andrew Friedman is the smartest guy in the world. 149 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: And Dave Roberts just hits all the right buttons. Blah 150 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah 151 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: blah blah. And now we're supposed to sit here, you 152 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: and I and pretend that you know the media spin 153 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: is accurate. They're selling you They're gonna do it for Kershaw. Okay, 154 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: all right, so place, he's already got his storybook moment 155 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: it happened last year. He's already got two championships. Okay. 156 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: And the man's career earnings are north of three hundred 157 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: million dollars. He does not need one more for the roade, 158 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: does not need one more for the road. Now, on 159 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: a positive note, on a positive note, thank god he 160 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: didn't do one of those disgusting retirement tours. Will I 161 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: will compliment Kershaw. I'm not a big fan of his, 162 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: but I will compliment Kershaw on this. You know, the 163 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: the over the top look at me, rocking chairs at 164 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: every city, cowboy boots in Texas, pitching rubber in San Francisco, 165 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: the guitar in Cleveland, the lego set in San Diego, 166 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: all of that crap that's destined for a landfall. He 167 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: didn't do that, all right, Now, Kershaw was forced, I 168 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: don't forced is the right word. He was strongly encouraged 169 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: by Rob Manford. And the chatter is this has been 170 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: an open secret that everyone knew this was his last year. 171 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 1: Thus Major League Baseball allowed Kershaw, who had no business 172 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: sniffing the All Star Game. They dragged him out there 173 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: much like the Dodgers do at Dodger Stadium as a mascot, 174 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: and they said, you know, you don't deserve to be 175 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: on the All Star team, but we're gonna put you 176 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: there anyway and give you a farewell moment. Remember the 177 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: All Star Game in Atlanta. So they dragged him to 178 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: Georgia for a very weird public sponge bath as a sendoff. 179 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: It was gross, But otherwise, Kershaw, for the most part, 180 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: has pulled an Irish goodbye, goodbye good job by him. 181 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: You slip out the side door, no fuss, no circus. 182 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 1: That's the right way to do it. That is the 183 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: right way to do it. So I do appreciate Kershaw 184 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: for leaving the right way. I wish he would have 185 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: done it five years ago, but that's fine, all right. 186 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: Final point. Now we're going to get into the ugly 187 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 1: part of the Kershaw story. And unfortunately I'm not sitting 188 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: here with my cheerleading outfit on. I left that in 189 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: the other room, pulled that out for certain occasions. Here's 190 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: the final point. What is the legacy of Clayton Kershaw. 191 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: It's got one more regular season start? What is his legacy? Right? Now, 192 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw is the most frustrating type of player to 193 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,959 Speaker 1: ever have play for your team. Do you agree or 194 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: disagree with that? Let me make my elevator pitch why 195 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw is the most frustrating type of player you 196 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: could ever follow. As a fan of athletic competition. In 197 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 1: the regular season, Clayton Kershaw has been a wagon, an 198 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: absolute wagon of fire hose. He would mow down the 199 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: Arizona Diamondbacks on a Wednesday night Dodger Stadium and it 200 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: was unbelievable. Wednesday night, May crazy crazy. He was like 201 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: Sandy Kofax reincarnated, even though Sandy's still alive. Complete Buzsaw 202 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: and then October would come around with Clayton Kershaw and 203 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: you'd be all excited, greatest picture of this generation, bright lights, 204 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 1: big stage, and on the way to the ballpark, I'm 205 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: convinced that Clayton Kershaw would go down to Windy's, he 206 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: would order a frosty and by the time he got 207 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: to the ballpark, he'd have eaten the frosty and then 208 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: he immediately suffered brain freeze the moment he got on 209 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: the mound. Every single time, every single time, Clayton Kershaw 210 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: was a frequent flyer during his career. He was in 211 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: the cockpit of the vomit comet. He was in the 212 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: cockpit of the vomit cobbat, flying the vomit cobbat, spiraling 213 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: out of control, with the entire baseball world watching, the 214 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: entire country watching. And it wasn't just once or twice 215 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: you were allowed to have one or two bad runs 216 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. You can eliminate that, right, You can say, well, 217 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: that was just a one off or a two off. 218 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: This is the essence of Clayton Kershaw. It is his DNA. 219 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: His DNA is he chokes in big games. We're talking 220 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen, twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen. I was 221 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,119 Speaker 1: at the game in twenty twenty three against the Diamondbacks 222 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: to the flyover and the game was over against Arizona. 223 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,839 Speaker 1: You can pick a year, any of those years, and 224 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: there's Clayton Kershaw coughing up a hair ball. If Clayton 225 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: Kershaw was a dog on the mound, he wouldn't be 226 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 1: the bulldog that was ald Hirscheiser. He wouldn't be a 227 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: pit bull or a German shepherd. He would have been 228 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,959 Speaker 1: a choking dog, because that's what he did, the kind 229 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: you don't trust in traffic, allergic to the big game. 230 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,959 Speaker 1: Run from the moment, from generational legend in October to 231 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 1: a liability in October, a generational legend in June and July, 232 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: and then in October a liability that was his resume. 233 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: The numbers do not lie. The numbers back up the 234 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: eye test, the era and the player. I believe it's 235 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: two runs higher than the regular season. That's not a 236 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: drop off. That is a kamikaze mission, is what that is. 237 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: You hand him the ball in October, you're basically lighting 238 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: the fuse. That's it. So the tinder box and you're 239 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: lighting the fuse. Now, I am going to give an 240 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: exemption for twenty seventeen because every one of their mother 241 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: knows what happened in twenty seventeen was insane. The cheating 242 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: Astros were banging on trash cans, blowing in whistles. They 243 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: had buzzers strapped to Altuve in my opinion, But the 244 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: rest that's all on the shoulders of Clayton Kershaw. The 245 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: rest of that is all on the shoulders of Clayton Kershaw. 246 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: If Kershaw was like our caller from Vegas, Big Balls, Bob. 247 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: You realize what his incompetence cost the Dodgers. If he 248 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: had a little bit of what Pedro Martinez had or 249 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: Kurt Schilling or Madison Bumgardner in his DNA as a 250 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: big game pitcher, So the Los Angeles Dodgers would be on 251 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: a Yankees like run right now. They would have an 252 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: ungodly amount of World Series in the last twenty years 253 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: modern era Yankees, from those old school Yankees back in 254 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: the day, like Lou Garrick and Babe Ruth, those Yankees. 255 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: We're talking seven or eight World Series championships the Dodgers 256 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: would have at this point. But because Clayton Kershaw sucks 257 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: in big games, they're sitting on two and they didn't 258 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: really win those two until Kershaw was kind of hanging 259 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: on at the end of his career. When Kershaw was 260 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: the man, when he was the guy, they never won. 261 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: They never won when he was the featured star above 262 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: the marquee. It was only after they put other people 263 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: in those roles and Kershaw still hung around that they won. 264 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: And listen, you can dress it up all you want, 265 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: the way I look at it Kershaw is he's complicated 266 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: because he's a Hall of Famer and he's one of 267 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: the great underachievers. At the same time, when it matted most, 268 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw did not deliver. And that's that's the way 269 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: you have to describe Kershaw. That is the legacy of 270 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw. All right. Great during the regular season and 271 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: then the playoffs, he's the last guy you would want 272 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: to pitch. He's the last pick. He's the first pick 273 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: in the regular season, he's the last pick in the postseason. 274 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: And that's that's an indictment. That's a referendum on Kershaw. 275 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: All right. And here's Kershaw the announcement from his news 276 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: conference prior to the Dodger Giant game. How bad of 277 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: the Giants? The Dodgers walked. I believe they walked ten 278 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: batters in that game and they still shut out the Giants. 279 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: Holy crap. Anyway, here is Clayton Kershaw announcing, I am 280 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: done done. Dun dun dun, dun, dun, dun, dund. 281 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 2: I have a lot of thank you to get through 282 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 2: and I can't have time today to do a justice 283 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 2: for all the people that have helped me along the way. 284 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 2: And got me to this point. So today I'm just 285 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 2: going to keep it short and sweet and then you know, 286 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 2: be able to really tell people just how grateful I 287 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 2: am for everybody that's in this organization, that's in this room, 288 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 2: that's been here later on. But yeah, I'm gonna I'm 289 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 2: gonna call it. I'm gonna retire. We've talked about a lot, 290 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 2: and I talked about a lot. Kiddos talked about it 291 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,479 Speaker 2: a lot, and I'm at peace with it. I think 292 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 2: it's I think it's the right time. It's it's been 293 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 2: such a fun year. I've had such a blast with 294 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 2: this group. I've had such a blast with all you guys. 295 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: Your time was actually a few years ago. This is 296 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: past the expiration dates. The bread's getting a little moldy. 297 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: Here's more from Clayton Kershaw. Now this one's pretty amusing. 298 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: Here's Kershaw pointing out that he has he has hope 299 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: for how this is all going to play out. 300 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 2: Take as Yeah, I can't think of a better season 301 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,679 Speaker 2: to go it out, go out, and we still have 302 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 2: a lot to accomplish obviously this month, and the last 303 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 2: thing I want to do is be a distraction to anybody. 304 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 2: For accomplishing our ultimate goal to win in the last 305 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 2: game of the season. So we're gonna get through this 306 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 2: today and then we're gonna go win the rest of 307 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 2: the games and be good. 308 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: You want to bet you don't win the rest of 309 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: the games, because I'll I'll take some action on that. 310 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 1: I'll be the bookie on that one. I'll take a 311 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: couple of shekels on that that you don't win the 312 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,479 Speaker 1: rest of the game. I know he's just saying what 313 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 1: you're supposed to say, and I wouldn't want to go 314 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: out any other way than this and all that stuff. 315 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: But again, the twenty twenty five Dodgers are one of 316 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 1: the great underachieving teams. They have eighty six wins. Eighty 317 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 1: six wins, so that is roughly twenty four wins from 318 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: where they were supposed to be. They're twenty four games 319 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 1: under where they should have been. I mean, you cannot 320 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: make this up, that you are such massive underachievers. It 321 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,360 Speaker 1: is wild. Anyway, It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If 322 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: you want to comment on Clayton kersher anything that we said, 323 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,880 Speaker 1: you can call up and tell me how right I am. Now, 324 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: you don't need to do that. Anyone knows that my 325 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 1: take was correct on that. But if you want eight 326 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,120 Speaker 1: seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine 327 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 1: nine six six three six nine, also on X at 328 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: Ben Mahllor, that's at Ben Mahler. If you'd like to 329 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 1: be part of the program, we'll take your calls the 330 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: whole thing here throughout the over night hours, because see 331 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: that's we're here all night.

George wrights In says if sin butts were 384 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: candy and knots, it would be Christmas every day. Oh, 385 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 1: I've heard that line before, George. That's not original. Just 386 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: like the Yankees used to go buy another championship. Yeah, 387 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: well you can buy all the players you want, you 388 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: still have to perform in the moment, and Clinton Kershaw 389 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: did not. He had tight took his syndrome in the mallment. 390 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: And listen, I get the LA media is soft. There 391 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: was only one person in the LA media that ever 392 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: had balls, and it was a guy named TJ. Simers, 393 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: and he's dead. Unfortunately. TJ died not that long ago. 394 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: JJ Writson says, Ben, you crap on the Doyers now. 395 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,479 Speaker 1: But if they win the World Series, they'll be the 396 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 1: greatest team to repeat in the history of baseball. We 397 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 1: all know the victory lap you'll take if it happened. No, Jj, 398 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: that is not true at all. That is not true 399 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: at all. I just explained to you this team had 400 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: a roster built to win one hundred and ten games 401 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: and they have absolutely underachieved. They're sitting at eighty six wins. 402 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: Eighty six wins right now. There's only a few baseball 403 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: games to go in the regular season. They have one 404 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: more weekend at home, then they go on the road 405 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: for a little bit, and then the playoffs start after that. 406 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: So what do they win? Maybe ninety three games or 407 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: something like that. If they start picking up some wins 408 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 1: here so there'll be seventeen games, let's say under where 409 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: they should have been during the regular season, and everything 410 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 1: they went out and added has sucked. Tanner Scott is 411 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: an embarrassment, absolute embarrassment in the bullpen. They added him 412 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: to be the big belief pitcher there. There's a conga 413 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 1: line of other guys that also are stealing money there. 414 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: And Blake Snell took the three months off. Tyler Glass 415 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: now missed a bunch of the whole. It's a joke. 416 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: It's an absolute joke over there. What they've got. Nature 417 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: Boy says, La is going to disown you from comparing 418 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,360 Speaker 1: Kershaw to a choking dog. I didn't know what other 419 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: breed of dog. How about not a dog of koala bear? 420 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 1: How about that a koala? He's like a koala in 421 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: the playoffs. He eats a lot of bark and all that. 422 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: He's a lot of the eucalyptus. That's what he's into. 423 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: He likes to study diet of that. Man alive. All right, 424 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: let's go to the phones and we'll say hello. Let's 425 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 1: go to mister k in the leadof chair.

So much stress. You know it has 436 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 5: been a doctor Jekyl and mister heide Se And I'll 437 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 5: tell you what. The starting pitching. I'm not worried about 438 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 5: kershar or any of them. They're fine. And the hitters 439 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,640 Speaker 5: they'll be okay. That bullpen is like a dumpster fire 440 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 5: almost on every night, not necessarily tonight. You know, I 441 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 5: have a good friend and he he he loved Dave Roberts, 442 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 5: and I was I was putting the blame on Dave 443 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 5: Roberts the other night. Is like, well, Dave didn't pitch 444 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 5: that meat ball. But you know what, Dave doesn't assess 445 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 5: the situation and take people out of the game when 446 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 5: they're you know, giving that paint. 447 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: After he does. Mister K though it's by the book, 448 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:38,199 Speaker 1: he's he's admitted it like the whole the other night. No, 449 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 1: I know, that's what Like, that's the most front. Like 450 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: you could, mister K could replace Dave Roberts and nothing 451 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: would change. You just have a different voice to the 452 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 1: media because you just follow what he's told. It's all listen. 453 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:51,919 Speaker 1: It's a great job. Dave Roberts makes a ton of 454 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: money and people, some dumb people think he actually is 455 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: controlling what's going on over there, but he's not. It's 456 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,400 Speaker 1: there's other people that are involved in it and they're 457 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 1: making the disc visions and Dave just you know, he's 458 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: a la la la la la just but it's so 459 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 1: much different, and it's I think part of the problem, 460 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: mister K is my age. I grew up with baseball, 461 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: where like the manager actually went by the gut, you know, 462 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: they decided things on the fly and they'd leave people 463 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: in it, you know, but they that's not how it 464 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: is anymore. 465 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 5: I know I miss those days, but I do too. 466 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 5: Guy radio.

Miss a phony is a 510 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: mental illness. He just he's worried about being you know, 511 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: I mean issues with his missophonia. Yeah, it's funny. I 512 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: was having this conversation with Brie, who is working the 513 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,360 Speaker 1: weekend overnights now, and she was very concerned. You see, 514 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: you know, working overnights and all that, and you eat 515 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: and you're worried about you know, what's going to happen, 516 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, people work overnights it's hard to you 517 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: don't get any weight because you're you know, you're you've 518 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,719 Speaker 1: got good genetics, Lorraine, Yes, thank you, Yeah, no you do. 519 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: If I I used to eat when I started doing 520 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 1: overnights years ago, I used to go with Jason Smith. 521 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: We did a show together in the early days at 522 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Rareo. We'd go to the gas stationmart and 523 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: load up on candy. We had gummy candy on one side. 524 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: We had potato chips. On the other. We had Doctor 525 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: Pepper and I just went for him and I got 526 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: so frickin' fat. I mean, I was already fat, and 527 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: I got fat. And then at some point I just said, 528 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:19,479 Speaker 1: that's that is it? Well almost, I don't know how 529 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: to phrase it, giving it away? Is that how you'd 530 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: say it? In the process of giving it away? The 531 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox lost to the Athletics on Thursday, and 532 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: they ended up losing the three game series to a 533 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: team going nowhere. They're orphans there, the redheaded step children 534 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: of Major League Baseball. They're an embarrassment. They don't even 535 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: they're so embarrassed about playing in Sacramento. They won't say 536 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: Sacramento or West Sacramento. They just say Athletics. How and 537 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: the fact that the politicians in Sacrament'm not surprised California 538 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: the politicians allowed that to happen. I mean, they're so 539 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: embarrassed by your city that they won't call themselves the 540 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: city anyway. The Athletics beat the Red Sox in the series, 541 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: so that means the Cleveland baseball team formerly knows. The 542 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: Indians are now within a game and a half of 543 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: Boston in the American League wild card race. The Red 544 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: Sox are still in position for the final wild card berth, 545 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: but they're two and a half games behind the Yankees, 546 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: setting up a situation where the Boston Red Sox could 547 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: be out of the postseason. And you'd think at that 548 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: point they'd have to fire Alex Korra if they don't 549 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: make the play the Red Sox again. Right now, they're 550 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,959 Speaker 1: still a playoff team. They've lost five of seven and 551 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: so they had a pretty good edge. They are shot 552 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: at getting past the Yankees, and now they're in a 553 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: position they head to Tampa Bay for another matchup with 554 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: a bad baseball team, and then they played Toronto to 555 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: finish it out. They played the Tigers, I believe at 556 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: Finway after that, and there's a team Wow. High choke factor, 557 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,479 Speaker 1: high choke factor on those Red Sox. Let's go back 558 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: to the FROMT Danny DeVito is in the boots on 559 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 1: the ground in the Boston area.

You know that strike, that 565 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 6: strike is going to come to an end in a 566 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 6: couple of hours, hours sold. 567 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: So I didn't know it was still going it was 568 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: still going on. What was going on? Who was picking 569 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: up the trash? 570 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 6: I get some scaves out here. They had about one 571 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 6: hundred and fifty scams out here doing the work the 572 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 6: last couple of months. 573 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 1: But it's over. 574 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 6: I was told today, that's a good thing. And they 575 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 6: gotta have They got a good contract. They they matched 576 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 6: out pay and they up the insurance. I was told, so, 577 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 6: oh good, nice, Yeah, so it worked out. I want 578 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 6: to talk about the the Buffalo bills. Uh, Ben jeansh 579 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 6: Allen's great, but that defense. 580 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 3: Uh terrible. 581 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 6: So this is two out of three weeks now, I 582 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 6: see him get run on. 583 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 5: They're gonna be in the. 584 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 6: Playoffs, but be a fast exit, I believe if that 585 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 6: defense doesn't get fixed. 586 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 1: Any comment on that, Yeah, yeah, I only they're terrible defensively. 587 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: I just think they're mediocre. They're not They're not gonna 588 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: win because of their defense. Their defense, and they're gonna 589 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 1: have more injuries. That's the problem. They're not very good 590 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: right now. And then, as you know, Danny, the war 591 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: of attrition in the NFL, so they're gonna lose a 592 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 1: linebacker here, a defensive back there by the time we 593 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: get to the end of the year, and so then 594 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 1: they're gonna be playing backups. And the guys that are 595 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: playing right now aren't even doing very well. So it's 596 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: probably exactly right. 597 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, the running game, they're run defense istic, it's bad. 598 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 6: I know, they're missing a couple of guys tonight, Milano 599 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 6: and the tackle. 600 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: Well, that's the point, that's but that's the whole point. 601 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: You're missing guys, and they're gonna some more plate. People 602 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 1: are gonna get hurt. I mean. The good news is 603 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: they play the Saints next week, so they'll be four 604 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: to oh and then they go play your Patriots after that. 605 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: I think that's a primetime game in Week five, and 606 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: that should be a Buffalo That should be a Bills win. 607 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: That's in Buffalo. 608 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 6: So I think, well, they're gonna they're gonna win games 609 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 6: on that guy throwing the ball in that offense. 610 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: You know. 611 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 6: But as like I said, when they've played the better 612 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 6: teams and the better defense is in the playoffs, it's 613 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 6: gonna be a problem. I think they're not gonna. 614 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: Be going that. Yeah, I mean they're not. There's really not. 615 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna disagree. They're not gonna win because their defense, 616 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: their defenses, I think it's a middle tier NFL defense 617 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 1: where they and the Jets game, the Jets were not 618 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: prepared to play. Now, you throw that game out and 619 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: the Jets, if they had competed, the game would have 620 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: been closed. You don't get blown out like that the 621 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 1: way that that was. That the same old the same 622 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: old EF and Jets is what that was la week. 623 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, and one last thing, Bacon Mayfield defend. This guy 624 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 6: was gobbage a couple of years ago. He bounced around 625 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 6: from team the team. I know you had a little 626 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 6: thing on a couple of days ago, but I'm fascinated 627 00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 6: with this guy. Jacon Mayfield is good now you know, 628 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 6: he actually he's good. 629 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 7: Now. 630 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: I agree, I agree. I used to rip him all 631 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: the time. I you know, talk trash about Baker Mayfield 632 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: and all that, and he's listen, to his credit, he's 633 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: turned this thing around and he's not a he's not 634 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 1: a bum the guy. But he was the number one 635 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: pick in the draft. You're supposed to be good, Yeah 636 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:20,320 Speaker 1: he was, but he was. 637 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 6: He was real trash though for a couple of years. 638 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 6: That he was a Banks player for a while, can't. 639 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,359 Speaker 6: I mean, it was bad, but I give him. 640 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 1: He was never well. He was never really a bench 641 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 1: but he was with the Rams after he got released 642 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: by Caroline or whatever. He was unspectacular. How about that? 643 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 1: He was unexceptional for a while. And now he's doing 644 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,759 Speaker 1: some stuff that gets your attention. So he's good. Good 645 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 1: for him, all right, thank you.

To the third degree? This is 699 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,800 Speaker 1: one Vegas gets quilled Kululu. 700 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:03,920 Speaker 7: Tyrod Taylor is set to make his first start in 701 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 7: six hundred and twenty four days as Justin Field is 702 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 7: out for the Jets in Week three. Aaron Glennen says, 703 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 7: there's no better player that you would want as your 704 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 7: backup quarterback. 705 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:13,440 Speaker 1: Yes, no, one better. Ben. 706 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 7: Do you think the Jets could actually perform better under Tyrod? 707 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:16,400 Speaker 6: No? 708 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,920 Speaker 1: No, it's a lateral move because if you look at 709 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 1: Justin Fields, he's like background noise, and then Tyrod Taylor's 710 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 1: elevator music. It's the same thing. Neither one of them 711 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 1: is distinguished in any way. They're unglamorous, ordinary quarterbacks and 712 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,880 Speaker 1: they might play well this week be with the backup, 713 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 1: but I long term it doesn't really matter. 714 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 7: Next Amazon Prime Video CEO Jay Marine said that recently 715 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 7: he is optimistic about streaming a Super Bowl someday. Ben, 716 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 7: could you see the biggest sporting event of them all 717 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 7: being leaving broadcast? 718 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they will go where the money is 719 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,279 Speaker 1: and if they can get more money from Eventually, this 720 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,240 Speaker 1: is gonna take years, and it's it's like the boiling frog. 721 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 1: It's slowly. It's moving that way. Anyway. The sports are 722 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 1: moving to streaming services. It's pay per view. So the 723 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,479 Speaker 1: next logical step would be to put the Super Bowl 724 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 1: on that event, So on Amazon. Put that event on 725 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:14,399 Speaker 1: Amazon next. 726 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,840 Speaker 7: Travis Hunter had a full workload of forty two offensive 727 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 7: snaps and forty three defensive snaps for the Jagson. Week 728 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,480 Speaker 7: two wasn't a major factor on either side of the ball, 729 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,319 Speaker 7: but Cohen suggested Liam Cohen that is that even more 730 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:25,720 Speaker 7: snaps are in Hunter's future? 731 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: Is that the right move? Yes, he's average apparently on 732 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,600 Speaker 1: both sides of the balls. We might as well play him. 733 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 1: He's average on both sides, and then maybe he'll make 734 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 1: some money and all that. You know, nothing special so far, 735 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 1: but why not? He wants to do it. He's young. 736 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,839 Speaker 1: What the hell? How do we do you passed the edition. 737 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 1: I got the guys, I what the
