1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. It's our two on this Monday. I hope 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: you had a great weekend, everybody. It's kind of a 4 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: quiet weekend. And then all of a sudden late yesterday 5 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: started to get a little buzz that the Patriots had 6 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: a new quarterback, Cam Newton, come on down a marriage 7 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,600 Speaker 1: of convenience. Hadn't heard much about Cam Newton other than 8 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,639 Speaker 1: he was working out, but he had no leverage. That's 9 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: why Patriots probably pounced and said, we can get this guy. 10 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: If he happens to catch lightning in a bottle and 11 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: we revisit twenty fifteen that Cam Newton, this could be 12 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: great and if it doesn't work out, not costing us anything. 13 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: Although you might say, does it impede the progress or 14 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: potential progress of Jared Stidham, their young quarterback. There there 15 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: is that chance that that happens. But I think you 16 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: got to give Cam Newton a real shot here at 17 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: starting for the New England Patriot Age seven three D 18 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: show email address TP at Dan Patrick dot com, Twitter 19 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: handle at dp's show. We will talk to Keith Oberman 20 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: of ESPN. He has already tweeted out that he thinks 21 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: the World Series happening is zero percent. We'll talk to 22 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: him while he while why he's a buzzkill on this. 23 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: So Keith ol Jona is coming up a little bit 24 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: later on. We'll check in with what's going on with 25 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: the NBA camps starting to open up. Still some players 26 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: a little bit nervous about this. Baseball camps open up 27 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: on Wednesday. NFL not taking any disciplinary action with Tom 28 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:42,559 Speaker 1: Brady and or Russell Wilson with having these public workouts 29 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: with their teammates. I don't know if the NFL is 30 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: going to do that, but they're getting criticized here and 31 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: also the Players Association is saying, you know, we got 32 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: to protect our players and putting them in these positions 33 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: if you're going to have workouts, and what kind of 34 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: safety guidelines do you have in place. Tom Brady is 35 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: no stranger to controversy. He was involved in Spygate, as 36 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: mclovin likes to say, he was tangentially tangentially involved, right 37 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: He picked up intel to use against teams like the 38 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: Bengals down the road, and he was at the center 39 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: of deflate k. He's involved in something else completely now, 40 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: and it's different, you know, you got the buck teammates 41 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: who have been working out. The NFL Players Association president 42 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: Demorris Smith, he waited in. He said that the union's 43 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: trying to figure out how the season will work with 44 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: the fear of players getting COVID, and Smith wants players 45 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: to pause into everything gets sorted out. So he's saying 46 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: to the players, let's wait, make sure you guys are safe. Meanwhile, 47 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Russell Wilson are holding workouts with some teammates. 48 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: Now we're debating competitiveness versus safety with a healthy dose 49 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: of financial reality thrown in there. Brady isn't the only 50 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: player doing this, but for the first time in a 51 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: couple of decades, he's getting used to a new team 52 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: and a new system. He's as competitive as any athlete 53 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: we've ever seen in the league. In union want him 54 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: to stop, so it'll be interesting to see what he 55 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: does next as the most unusual offseason in NFL history 56 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: rolls on. And I understand why the NFL would have 57 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: a problem with this, and now the NFL Players Association 58 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: has a problem with this, But it's hard for the 59 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: NFLPA to be arguing this when your star player, Tom 60 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: Brady is holding these workouts. I also saw something over 61 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: the weekend from the NFL Network, might have been Friday, 62 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: late Friday that I saw. This had to do with 63 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick and NFL Total Access. You know who had 64 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: this report in mcklevin, Mike Roffalo from the NFL Network. Okay, 65 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: so Mike was saying on NFL Total Access, teams are 66 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: getting closer to making a potential move on Colin Kaepernick, 67 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: and he says, quote, teams are circling around here, getting closer, 68 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: I believe, certainly closer than they've been in recent years. Now, 69 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: you might say, why not just go directly to Kaepernick, 70 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: go directly to his agent. Why do you have to 71 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: play this game where you're talking working the priphery just 72 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: more of the same question mark, That would be a 73 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: fair point. My understanding, at least to explain it from 74 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: a team's perspective, is they're still doing their homework, still 75 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: doing their research. When they get to the point where 76 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: they're confident enough that they think they can work out 77 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: a contract, that's when they'll be direct communication with the agent. 78 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: But for now, we all see more positive signs that 79 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 1: Kaepernick could be back in the league soon. I don't 80 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: know who you're talking to with Colin Kaepernick. Unless Kaepernick 81 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: knows these teams are talking to his friends or associates, 82 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: and he can sort of be filtering information here. I don't. 83 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just trying to figure out, Hey, do 84 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: we want Colin Kaepernick? Do we think we can play? 85 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: He can play? How about we talk to him? Why 86 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: are we talking to his friends or associates. How about 87 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: we just talk to him. Hey, Colin, it's the Baltimore Ravens. 88 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: It's John Harbaugh. I just want to see do you 89 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: want to play? Yeah, I'd like to play, but I 90 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: don't know if I want to go into Baltimore where 91 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: I don't get a chance to start. Well, still love 92 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: to have you. You'd be great backup. You could offer 93 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: some guidance with Lamar Jackson, and you know I can 94 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: have my owner and you know, Steve can give you 95 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,119 Speaker 1: a call when we can work out some financial deals. 96 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: This is what we have, this is the money we have. 97 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: We just want to see because if not, then we 98 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: have to make other plans. Is that far fetched? And 99 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: then I could say to Colin Kaepernick, hey, I want 100 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: to see where your priorities are because we're all in 101 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: with you. We understand what you've been doing, and we 102 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: stand with you. But we want to know is football 103 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: going to be paramount? Is that going to be priority 104 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: number one? Okay, I don't think I need to go 105 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: to his associates unless I go to his girlfriend and 106 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: talk to her, because she's very powerful in this decision. 107 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: Like why are teams you know, when I hear these teams, 108 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: the Eagles, you know, Doug Peterson, yeah, you know, we 109 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: would consider bringing it. Nobody's saying we're going to bring 110 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: him in or we talk to him, we want to 111 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: talk to him. I mean, everybody has to say the following, 112 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 1: oh yeah, we would consider it, because if you don't, 113 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: then what are you saying? And might not be fair 114 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: to those teams if they say, no, we're not interested 115 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: in Colin Kaepernick, even though a majority of the teams 116 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: aren't interested in Colin Kaepernick for a variety of reasons. 117 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: One could be business, another one could be you know, 118 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: he's not going to be our starting quarterback, or we 119 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: like our backup quarterback. But it just feels like we 120 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: keep dancing around this. I just want to know if 121 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: he wants to play. That's all because there are a 122 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: lot of people spending a lot of time talking on 123 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: his behalf. Do you want to play? And would you 124 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: join a team if you're not going to start? If 125 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: you go to Kansas City, you know you're not going 126 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: to play with Patrick Mahomes. But the reason why the 127 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: backup quarterback is so important this year is because of 128 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: the pandemic. That's why teams have really gone out of 129 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: their way to make sure they have a legitimate backup 130 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: quarterback because you can't lose a quarterback for two weeks 131 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: or three weeks unless you have a quarterback who can 132 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: step in. You know, the Bears went out and got 133 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: Nick Foles. Now they may have gotten Nick Foles because 134 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: he might be better than Mitchell Trubisky, but have a 135 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: backup quarterback there, and that's what you need. And that's 136 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: why I think somebody is going to look at Colin 137 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: Kaepernick and say he would be a good backup quarterback 138 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: in here. And it could be Kansas City, it could 139 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: be Baltimore. I always thought Seattle, but that didn't work 140 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: out for whatever reason. But I just it always feels 141 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: like these stories are not really stories. Hey, would you 142 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: consider bringing in Colin Kaepernick of course I would. Okay, 143 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: but I'm not. So it's an obvious answer, but it's 144 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: not really an answer. It just feels like it's automated. Yeah, Paul, 145 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: that's kind of what it feels like to me that 146 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: some NFL reporter called a dozen of his GM buddies 147 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: and said, hey, are you guys going to consider Colin Kamick. Well, 148 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: of course, we look at any player that would help 149 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: our program. Cool. Cool. Then he calls a dozen more 150 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: and then he gets like seven, Yeah, we would think 151 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: about that, a very casual, vague think about it. And 152 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: then he released a story at least seven teams interested 153 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: in Colin Kaepernick. It seems like that's where the stories 154 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: go to, because once you never hear anyone on the record, 155 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: any GM on the record. There. Yeah, we've reached out 156 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: to him and invited him and his people to our 157 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: facility for a chat. You haven't heard one report of that. 158 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: I just want to know, do you want to play? 159 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: And are you comfortable being a backup quarterback? Just to start, 160 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: you know, that's it because the other stuff it just 161 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: doesn't mean it. It's all talk, and that's all we've 162 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: had for years. It's just talk until somebody says, we're 163 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: going to bring him in for a word count. And 164 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: that's why when Pete Carroll said, well, I heard from 165 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:40,199 Speaker 1: a team they wanted to know about Colin Kaepernick, Pete Carroll, 166 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: I'm not calling Pete Carroll. What does Pete Carroll know 167 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: about Colin Kaepernick? How much time did he spend with 168 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick? Very little? What an hour he didn't even 169 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: work out for him? I'd be calling Jim Harball if 170 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: they allowed me to talk to Greg Roman, who was 171 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: the offensive corp nator with San Francisco when they had 172 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: Kaepernick there. Those would be the people that I would ask, hey, 173 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: what are your got any concerns? And if you know, 174 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: Jim Harball would give you his honest opinion on this 175 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: of who he thinks Kaepernick is and what kind of 176 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: player he still thinks he is. Roman may have a 177 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: harder time conflict of interest there with the Ravens. But yeah, 178 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: there aren't that many people i'd be calling other than 179 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: I'd start with his agent and Kaepernick. I'd have his 180 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: girlfriend involved in it as well, But you know the 181 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: other stuff, we just we're just dancing. You're slow dancing 182 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: and the lights aren't on. There's nothing going on here. 183 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 1: But I saw the story with NFL Total Access, and 184 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: I thought, all right, if Cam Newton's getting signed, maybe Kaepernick, 185 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 1: because Kaepernick's not going to make a lot of money 186 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: coming in as a backup. It's been misreported at that 187 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: he made sixty seventy million dollars with a lawsuit in 188 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: the end with the NFL with collusion, and I was 189 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: told it's probably closer to five million dollars that he 190 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,719 Speaker 1: made Cam Newton salary there. You know, there's incentives in there, 191 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: so he's got a chance to make seven and a 192 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: half million dollars. A J. McCarron makes two million, case 193 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: Keenham one and a half, Chase Daniel one point two. Five. 194 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: These are guys that are making the same amount of 195 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 1: money as Cam Newton, Chad Henny one point two, Matt 196 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: Barkley one point two. Jeff driscoll makes a million dollars. 197 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: Not exactly. Those guys all had ten million dollars signing books. Oh, 198 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: there's a Chase Daniel's trending because he's making more than 199 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: Cam and Winston combined. Right now, Oh, I saw this, 200 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: Adam leftco. Chase Daniel is being paid more than Jameis 201 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: Winston and Cam Newton combined. When I grow up, I 202 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: want to be Chase Daniel. Let's do career sound I 203 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: think we do this every year with Chase Daniel. It 204 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: gets better every year. Yeah, well he doesn't, but his 205 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: salary does. Chase Daniel might be the greatest preseason quarterback 206 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: of all time. I don't know if they have stats. 207 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if they hand out that label. But 208 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 1: do we have career salary for Chase Daniel? Sure we do. Dan. 209 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: Now we have to preface this by saying, Chase Daniel, 210 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: it was awesome in Missouri and in August. Thank you. 211 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: He started five games, and three of those five are 212 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: in the past two years. It was a lot more fun. 213 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: We had only started two games in nine years. Thank you. 214 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: He's two and three as a starter. He's got seven 215 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: touchdown passes. I don't care about that. I want to 216 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: know his money, I know, but just the prefaces six 217 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: touchdowns in the past, he's hot in eighteen and ninety. 218 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 1: What do you guess he's made in his career? Past tense? 219 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 1: Twenty seven million dollars, way low. He's thirty four million 220 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: dollars in eleven years and he's due. Oh man, these 221 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: guys all you got nine more coming up here.

His agent should get an 227 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: a war. A couple of phone calls here the best 228 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: and worst of the weekend.

I know, How did 245 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: you get the concussion? My daughter left a cabinet open 246 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: and I was reaching down to get an aunt really quick, 247 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: and I figured she was going to move it, and she, uh, 248 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: she didn't. She doesn't have reflexes like I do, and 249 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: came right up and hit that and then uh So 250 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: I didn't go into the hospital that evening. But the 251 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: second day I was pulling weeds with my middle daughter, Penelope, 252 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: and we went for the same weed and she bumped 253 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: my head again.

U ask me in the dark doing nothing, 259 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: and I just I felt like I needed to take 260 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: this time an opportunity to thank him for everything that 261 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: he's done, because I've had some other health issues going on. 262 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: I'm only forty, I'm a teacher, mama three, and it's 263 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: been it's been quite crazy.

Absolutely, 273 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: kids are the best. They always listen to me. I 274 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: wonder if we sound a lot better than we look, 275 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: because you know, growing up, you never saw people on radio. 276 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: You just heard their voices and then you would imagine 277 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: what they look like. Yeah yeah, and then we we've 278 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: removed that. There you go, man, got a nice voice 279 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: there and then all of a sudden, you go, oh yes. 280 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: When we go to these meet and greets, occasionally, the 281 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: worst thing that's ever been said to me a guy 282 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: who saw me because oh, that's right. You didn't play sports. 283 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: I'll what are you say it? I don't look that 284 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: out of shape? Yeah, I usually yet, uh you're you 285 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: look thinner in person, or you're taller than I thought, Like, 286 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: there's never anything that's like wow, those are blue eyes, right, 287 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: Because ultimately, what they're saying is because I get this 288 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: too about either being tall or like wow, you're not 289 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: nearly as heavy as I thought you're gonna be, which 290 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: means that they're just saying about how fat I look 291 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: on TV.

Did you insist to be 339 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: called a senior anchor? No, as you know from your 340 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: own experience, simple, simple explanation was I just started calling myself. 341 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: I'll wait till somebody. Oh it's like that at eighty 342 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: seven ms. Probably about six months saying don't call yourself that. 343 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: I said, it's not in a role. I'm not trying 344 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: to claim I've been been there consistently since nineteen eighty nine, 345 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: just sort of intermittently. I didn't know if it had 346 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: to do with age, that you're a senior and that's 347 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 1: why you're a senior at. It's probably that as well. 348 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 1: I hadn't gone through the math on that, and you don't. 349 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: I mean the next my competitor for this role and 350 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: the person who has it in terms of continuous services, 351 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: Linda Cohn, and a gentleman does not ask the lady 352 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: at or aide, so I would die. I would say no, 353 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: and I'm more senior than Linda. There's no doubt about that. Well, 354 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: we never got I don't think in trouble calling ourselves 355 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: the big show by management. Right. We just had a 356 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: couple other shows the earlier Sports Center that had a 357 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: problem with us calling ourselves the big show. But I 358 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: don't think management was upset, were they, Well you may 359 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: recall that that was the origin of the ad campaign. Yes, 360 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: because they said stop calling it the big show. People 361 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: don't understand it's Sports Center. It's like you have a 362 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: graphic over everybody's face, there's a big sign and everything 363 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: says sports Center and ESPN on it. How is it 364 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 1: that that's not enough of who can't just sort of 365 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: occasionally call it no? So that's then the result was, okay, 366 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 1: this is Sports Center And the next thing we knew 367 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 1: they've been running the same damn commercials for thirty five years, 368 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: so well, not quite that long, but you know what 369 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: I mean. But we got called in. That was the 370 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: infamous meeting that we got called in upstairs me okay, 371 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,959 Speaker 1: one of but that was the one where they were 372 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: rattling the saber there. That was the most memorable one. 373 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: But that's where they insisted we stopped calling ourselves the 374 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 1: Big Show. And Keith said, we don't know how many 375 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: people are watching. We're kind of making fun of ourselves 376 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: calling ourselves the Big Show. We're not. And then everybody 377 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: took us seriously, like, you guys really think you're the 378 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: Big Show? We go no. The alternate was the long Show, 379 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: because if you were called when we started using that phrase, 380 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 1: they had just expanded every night's eleven o'clock show or 381 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: eleven thirty show to an hour. And my point in 382 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: just starting having come from the world directly of local 383 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: news for the preceding seven or eight years, I was 384 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: used to, you know, occasionally I do an hour, half 385 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: an hour of postgame on a World Series on a 386 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: local station in LA something like that, but an hour 387 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: of highlights and everything changing at the last second, as 388 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,199 Speaker 1: you know, and maybe the I don't know, fifteenth or 389 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: sixteenth commercial break we ever threw to. I turned to 390 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: you and said, Dan, this is a big and yes, yes, 391 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: yes it is. And I said I feel like I'm 392 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: going to call it that at some point, don't swear so. 393 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: And then in this meeting, you know, we get yelled 394 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: at because you must call this is sports Center and 395 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: Keith sports Center. Yeah, and so Keith said, all right, 396 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: bleep them. We're gonna say this is smart as Center. 397 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: And we that night, I remember, we finished the first 398 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes the A block and we went to break 399 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: coming up on the show, blah blah blah blah blah 400 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah, this is Sports Center and I go, okay, 401 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: here we go for variations of this Sports Center or 402 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 1: this is UH and the rest is history. Because when 403 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: they came time to an advertising campaign for the guys 404 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: and Roman and the guys from White and Kennedy said, 405 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: you know what we really should call it. This is 406 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: Sports Center. And I was like, and I have as 407 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: you I have received, you know, zero any of that. 408 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: But remember the Christmas gift we got the cassette of 409 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: the commercials. Well that's much later. I was thinking the 410 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: year we got the Ripken game, Remember that we got 411 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: the Christmas gift for the entire company was a VHS 412 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: of my classmate Chris Burman Paula calling the Ripton game. 413 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 1: And you know, I love Chris and I've known him 414 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: since nineteen seventy one, but this is the first VHS 415 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 1: GET said I ever had that unwrap itself and jumped 416 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: into your VHS and hit play and was already I mean, 417 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: and you hit muton it that it came out an 418 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 1: unmuted all right, Um, let me get to your field 419 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: of expertise, which is, well, I wish this were happier 420 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: conversation here. Okay, when did you come to the conclusion 421 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: that there is zero percent chance of the World Series 422 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: being played this year? Well? I was still holding out 423 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: hope in March, but really since then, it's been a slide. 424 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: Down hill, and it's an accelerating slide down. I did. 425 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: This is just this morning's headline. Okay. The top seven 426 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: states in terms of COVID spike in this country California, Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, 427 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,400 Speaker 1: and Michigan. That's fourteen of the thirty teams play in 428 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: the places where the disease is the worst of the moment. 429 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: And this is by all mentries. This is just oh, 430 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: we've got more tests, therefore we have more positives. This 431 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: is hospitalizations, this is people who are really sick, that 432 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: people who are asymptomatic, all metrics, percentage of population, percentage 433 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: of positive tests is out of control. Fourteen to the 434 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,199 Speaker 1: thirty teams play in these states. And that's just the 435 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 1: top seven. You could probably make a longer list. In Texas, 436 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 1: hospitalizations doubled in the last eighteen days. Laura's infections are 437 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: five times what they were two weeks ago. Thirty three 438 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: percent of er cases who show up for something else 439 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: like you know, car accidents and overdoses and things, they 440 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: test positive for it. There's a Planet Fitness in West Virginia. 441 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: One guy was positive with symptoms on June twenty fourth. 442 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 1: He was there between nine am and three pm. Two 443 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: hundred and five people have been told to quarantine for 444 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: the next fourteen days, and two of the older Twins 445 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,360 Speaker 1: coaches have reported we've been told to stay home because 446 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: they're sixty six and sixty eight years old. They have 447 00:25:55,160 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: health histories. That's just this morning. And we're still living 448 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 1: in a world in which, for whatever reason or whatever 449 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: validity you put to it or not, this is irrelevant 450 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: to that. You know, gatherings of fifty or more people 451 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: are discouraged. How many people are going to be required 452 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: to put on a baseball game? And yeah, even at 453 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium, things have calmed down here. We're in good shape. 454 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: We all wore a mask and everybody still wears a mask, 455 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: and they do a pretty good job of it, except 456 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: for some of the millennials on Friday nights because you 457 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: can't drink through the mask. But the what are you 458 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 1: going to do in Houston? What are you gonna do 459 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,199 Speaker 1: if somebody gets sick? And not just players but the 460 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: support crew. There's going to be people cleaning the stadiums 461 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 1: and people cleaning the bill locker rooms, the clubhouses. Where 462 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: are they going to go if there's no hospital bed. 463 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: The thing is so disastrous in potentiality that I'm terrified 464 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 1: by it. In addition to the idea that that what 465 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,640 Speaker 1: this is without the idea of what happens if players 466 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: get sick, what happens if players get say what happens 467 00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: if if somebody gets a career alter injury. Because it 468 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: affects your lungs and it can affect your organs, and 469 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: you know, the odds are pretty good somebody young is 470 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: going to get sick as a resultant. But you have 471 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: leagues in Europe, you know, soccer that are able to 472 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: pull this off. Yeah, and in countries that have been 473 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: you know, go outside without a mask and somebody comes 474 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: over and tells you to go back inside, and you 475 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: know they there haven't been there's been protests. There haven't 476 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: been riots about it. There haven't been people showing up 477 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: with guns in capitals demanding that they have the right 478 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: to go out. And you know, just I always think 479 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 1: of it this way. If it were you stop thinking 480 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,479 Speaker 1: about it as a disease, but imagine it as an 481 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: invasion from another planet like in Mars attacks. Would you'll 482 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 1: really be demanding the right to go outside if the 483 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: government said, hey, listen, they can't find you if you're inside. 484 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: Why don't you stay inside? Watch TV. It's the golden 485 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: age of television. Everybody you've ever heard of has their 486 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: own show and or a podcast. Just watch for a 487 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 1: little while. They're showing every baseball game ever reported. There's 488 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: two no hitters going on in my TV inside this 489 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: window right now. I got hot. The other day I 490 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 1: had three channels with Ben Scully in it. This is 491 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: the golden time to stay inside. Now I'm fortunate enough 492 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: to have a balcony, so I you know, I'm not 493 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: one to speak about this, but that's the reason, you know, 494 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,880 Speaker 1: we really did miss it. That the hint long ago 495 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: it should have been where a mask and we'll be 496 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: able to have sports again the summer. But I just don't. 497 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: I don't know how it how it's proceeding, and I'm 498 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: terrified having read this. The thing that really sent me 499 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: over the edge was the Major League Soccer protocols where 500 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: they're going to have the players all sequestered and they're 501 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: all ought. Everybody connected to the game is going to 502 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: be in the hotel at the complex in Florida, and 503 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: the people who are going to be bringing them food 504 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,479 Speaker 1: and serving them meals and cleaning the rooms. They're not. 505 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: They go home every night, so they'll be commuting. So 506 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: the bubble that the soccer players are in is not 507 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: a bubble the same thing. What's the NBA? Keith? Yeah, 508 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: and no, is that is that I've been trying to 509 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: find out. Is that what the NBA is doing? Everybody 510 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: else in the complex goes home at night. Yeah. Then 511 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: I took one class forty five years ago or whatever 512 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: the hell it was that touched on pandemics and diseases 513 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: that spread through a population. And this is what I 514 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: remember of it, which is you want to avoid it. 515 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: You have to cut off impossible exposure to it. And 516 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: if you don't have a full bubble, you don't have 517 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: a bubble. If you can't be okay, this guy standing here, 518 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: but the guy standing next to you can go home 519 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: at night, it makes no sense and it's it's not 520 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: going to work. And baseball doesn't even have any of that. 521 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: They're going to be people commuting throughout this city to 522 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium. They're not this mech polarity Yankee Stadium. And 523 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: then the Yankees are going to get on a plane 524 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: at some point and go to and the Mets are 525 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: and every other team in the majors and take whatever 526 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,959 Speaker 1: they have to another city. And this now takes us 527 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: back to where we were at the start of the 528 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: of March mad If they went ahead with March Madness, 529 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: the disease would have been spread to lord knows four 530 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: hundred other cities worth of journeys. And I just it's 531 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: it's it sounds all. This sounds to me like if 532 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 1: you let management decide not what's really good and safe 533 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: for everybody, but to decide what looks good and safe, 534 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: And that's you know, that's it's. It's marketing, isn't it's 535 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: it's a it's an illusion of a bubble. And I 536 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: just think there has And again, if I went wrong 537 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: on this, I will come on every day if you 538 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: want me to and say hi, I'm Keith, I was 539 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: wrong about this. Good I'm glad I was wrong about this. 540 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: I would be. I would be delighted to be getting 541 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: into the subway or walking the Yankee Stadium right now 542 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: if that was what was required to go see a 543 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: game this afternoon. Rather than talking to you. I've been 544 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: talking to you since nineteen eighty four. I don't need 545 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: to talk to you. He don't like I'm wrong. He 546 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: is a senior anchor. I think that's what. It's not senior, 547 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:03,479 Speaker 1: it's senior. Anna grew up by Pennsyltanmu was the ESPN 548 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: Sports Centers senior anchor. How do you think history is 549 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: going to view the Astros. It depends really on whether 550 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: or not baseball is played today this season. Honestly, it's 551 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: connected to this because if there's no season, there'll only 552 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: be two stories for the whole year, which was the 553 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: failed attempt to get a season going, which will be 554 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: summarized as it was a failed attempt in seventeen players 555 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: wound up in the hospital for six months, and the Astros. 556 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: Those would be the stories in twenty twenty if they 557 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: play a season, if they get to a World Series. 558 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 1: If I'm completely wrong about that, the Astros thing will 559 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: have been not wiped from history, but it will be 560 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 1: less of an urgency. The thing about and go back 561 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: to the joke about the Ripken VHS tape, the thing 562 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: about Cal Ripken and everything that happened in baseball in 563 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,719 Speaker 1: the aftermath of the strike and the lockout and replacement players, 564 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: was not that somehow those things didn't happen, but they 565 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: were knocked off the front page by Cal Ripken. That's 566 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: what he did, and it was the kind of thing 567 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: where I think people who like enjoy baseball would love 568 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: to have the Astros story knocked off the front page, 569 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: and surely it has been since the middle of March. 570 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: But if they don't play any games this year, it'll 571 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 1: be one of the two stories for twenty twenty in 572 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: history will judge them as slightly in worse shape than 573 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: say the nineteen fifty one Giants, because we found out 574 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: contemporaneously what they did and there's some proof of it. 575 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 1: Rather than basically everybody everybody, almost everybody was dead by 576 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: the time the real story of how the nineteen fifty 577 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: one Giants cheated using a telescope and signals from the 578 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: outfield to make their miracle comeback. So it's something like 579 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: it'll be something like that a little bit worse. Do 580 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: you think it would be good or bad for baseball 581 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: if the Astros were to win this year? I think 582 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: you could get away with it because there'll always be 583 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: and I did a piece on this report Center Sports History. 584 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: Is what we decided is, you know, the eighteen eighty 585 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: nine Brooklyn Dot one, the American Association Baseball League championship 586 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: that played in the World Series. The eighteen ninety team 587 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: moved to the National League and played in the World 588 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: Series as pennant winners from the National League. The Dodgers 589 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: view their history as starting in eighteen ninety. They don't 590 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: count eighteen eighty nine, even though the same team with 591 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: the same players played in the same kind of World Series, 592 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: only they changed leagues. We decide what it is. We 593 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: decide what history is. And you know, it's like Barry 594 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,479 Speaker 1: Bonds in San Francisco and that environment, he's the all 595 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 1: time gold run hitter, and everywhere else it's Hank Aaron. 596 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: So history will decide what it is. This season is 597 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: already open to complete interpretations. And you know, as I said, 598 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 1: that's under the best circumstances. You know, it's it's it's 599 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: it's a baseball season for the original purpose of having 600 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: a baseball season, which is to provide a public service. 601 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: And we see it more now than perhaps any of 602 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 1: us living has ever seen it before. Great to see you, 603 00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:00,479 Speaker 1: great to hear from you. And well we'll see how 604 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: that zero point zero zero percent of the World Series Hey, Hey, 605 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: I only think there's a fifty percent chance that they 606 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 1: open the camps on time next week. So there you go. 607 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:14,319 Speaker 1: You're a mister percentage here. Yes, well I did. I 608 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: took seventh grade math several times.

He just sometimes delivered delivered it in 701 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,239 Speaker 1: a serious manner, right, but you can't tell if he's 702 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 1: being serious or God, it's incredible.

He plays for Chelsea, 711 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,200 Speaker 1: but there's no doubt watching him grow as a player. 712 00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 1: He can clearly play at that level.
