29
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,280

Speaker 2: Watch that. Yeah, watch that game.

34
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: More people getting thrown through tables on a second screen experience.

35
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: I think that could be the first green experience. Tomorrow

36
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: night might be a little bit better.

37
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: Minus twelve Yeah, but still still a little time to

38
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: go before the kickoffs, still pushing team.

39
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 3: They see another half half point tacked on before it's

40
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 3: all said none.

41
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: Uh so, yes, we are getting set for Week three

42
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: of the NFL and the story that Look, I wish

43
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: this story would go away, but apparently.

44
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: It's not because people want to hold onto this. Man.

45
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, just let it go. It's not a big deal.

46
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 2: But today.

47
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson, head coach of the Bears for now, head

48
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: coach of the Bears. So too soon, too soon on that.

49
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 3: Hey, man, if they're extending Ryan Poles, this guy might

50
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 3: have a lifetime contractor kidding me. Tom Brady is broadcasting

51
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 3: Sunday's game between the Cowboys and the Bears. Oh take

52
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 3: the over. Next week the Raiders, who Tom Brady partly owns,

53
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 3: play the Bears. And you know, there's been this made

54
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 3: up controversy the last few days and A Brady, it's.

55
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: A conflict of interest and I's gotta go. And it's

56
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: just the most ridiculous, stupid thing that because it's people

57
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: in the media and a lot of broadcasters and writers

58
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: who just are lazy or have nothing better to say,

59
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: or just want to say. Ah, Brady, this is absolutely

60
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: gonna be awful. You can't add what a conflict event.

61
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 3: And I maintain no matter how bad a coach is,

62
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 3: no matter how bad a coach is, he's not walking

63
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 3: into a production meeting that happens before a game and

64
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 3: telling everybody.

65
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: Way, do you guys see the crap that we pull

66
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: this week? Man, there's a couple of plays we've been

67
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: waiting to run. We know we're gonna get. Well, we

68
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: get in third and long. Here's what we're gonna do.

69
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 3: Right, Make sure you got a camera situated on the

70
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,399
Speaker 3: defensive coordinator because we're gonna pants him with what we're

71
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 3: gonna run out here.

72
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: That stuff just doesn't happen. But that's what people want,

73
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: want us to believe happens at Brady to come the

74
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: information he gets from broadcasting game. If they were playing

75
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: a game that day, I would understand, like, Hey, the

76
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: coach is gonna walk in talk about his game plan

77
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: a little bit, and you're playing that day.

78
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: That I get. But this is where whatever the Bears

79
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: do Sunday, right where Bears are Sunday, the Raiders are

80
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: gonna see. Man, they're gonna put that stuff out there.

81
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: The Raiders are gonna see it.

82
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 3: So all of unless maybe the Raiders don't look at

83
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: film and they rely on Brady to tell them stuff.

84
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: Fry, Hey, we don't do a film here in Vegas. No, No,

85
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: I get that. So Tom, you just told us what

86
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 2: you saw like But.

87
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 3: If that was here was the same day stuff, or

88
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 3: Brady's doing a game where they're playing the Raiders, Okay,

89
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 3: then I can kind of understand.

90
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: But this this rest of it, that's no coach is

91
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: saying a bunch of knights all completely. We talked about

92
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: this the last couple of nights and congratulations with the

93
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: people that picked it up today that said, hey, you

94
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: know what, I really don't think that's that big a deal.

95
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: You're welcome. You can send money to us here at

96
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.

97
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 3: But with all of it, the words souid that everybody's

98
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,799
Speaker 3: done with this, and the impropriety and conflict of influence

99
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: and all.

100
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: That, just say the quiet part out loud. Just put

101
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: your name on it.

102
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 3: You don't trust Tom Brady and you think anybody he

103
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 3: talks to is a dope. Because we've been having these

104
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 3: meetings with broadcast crews forever and you can pick your

105
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 3: favorite analysts, pick your favorite play by play guy.

106
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: He's like, none of them would have done this.

107
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 3: At any boy, dude, we've got worried about guys getting

108
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: an extra five hour bill. We're all over the place

109
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 3: and players and oh the horse, you're just broadcasters. Tom

110
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 3: Brady's the guy that's gonna be the first one that

111
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 3: suddenly he breaks that through that invisible wall.

112
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: People just want to deflate his reputation at any two.

113
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, you can't. But look, we've been doing this

114
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 2: long enough. Like the other one I'll give you.

115
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 3: Let's talk about shades of gray, and let's talk about spygate,

116
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 3: the flight gate might be the dumbest thing in the

117
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 3: history of football.

118
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: And we've had a lot.

119
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 3: Of dumb controversies across sports, things where people get selectively outraged.

120
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball. No, no, no.

121
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 3: This has now risen to the level where it's even

122
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 3: worse because I was gonna go waive to all my

123
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 3: friends that covered Major League Baseball and claim they didn't

124
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 3: see anything. For years we were duped in the performance

125
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 3: enhancing era.

126
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: Lazy broadcasters who want to push this story because they

127
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: can't think of something else better to talk about that's

128
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,559
Speaker 1: more compelling. Right, Here's Ben Johnson from earlier today addressing, Hey,

129
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: you know, way we're not giving away state secrets to

130
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: Tom Brady in production meetings.

131
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 5: I've been careful everything I've said since the season started.

132
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 5: I've been in pure coach speak mode.

133
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 6: Started.

134
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 5: So for me, it's just business as usual. I'm just fine.

135
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 5: I like Tom and we have a really good relationship.

136
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, well that was better than anything he's done

137
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: coaching wise. I've done great at coach speaking.

138
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 2: That let laughter, that was like you know when when

139
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 2: when like like a big comedian like Shane gillis the

140
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 2: laughs he gets when when he's doing a big set

141
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: on broadcast on HBO.

142
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 3: Well, those are people are afraid of him. Yeah, but

143
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 3: I mean because he can get stern looking and and

144
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 3: I think they're they're fearful that suddenly they're gonna get

145
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 3: their credentials pulled.

146
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: It almost sounded like that was like fake laughter that

147
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: oh yeah, canned. Hey, make it make it sound like

148
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: no one's lasting.

149
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 3: Landing was saying was the crowd noise pumped in at

150
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 3: Northwestern Life.

151
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 1: So it's okay to hey, if Ben Johnson said something funny,

152
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: just put the laugh track in so it makes him

153
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: sound good, you know, maybe.

154
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 3: Make it a little bit of a better environment, come

155
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 3: out like yuck it up right. So for a while,

156
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 3: I'm on Ben Jonson's side. I'm looking the Bears have

157
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 3: been such a big story the first two weeks of

158
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 3: the season and their lack of competitiveness and ridiculously bad

159
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 3: decisions by Johnson and getting pasted by the Lions who

160
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 3: ran up the score on them. A at least if

161
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: they're losing, they're losing interesting. And I had Ben Johnson's back.

162
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 3: You're telling Ben Johnson, this is a stupid story that

163
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 3: doesn't mean anything and then he went on to talk

164
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 3: about what's wrong with the Bears, and he kind of

165
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 3: talk about saying the quiet part out loud. This is

166
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson throwing the entire team and himself under the

167
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 3: bus for what really might be an issue with the

168
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 3: Bears in their slow start so far.

169
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 5: I think our practice habits are are yet to reflect

170
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 5: a championship caliber team.

171
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 3: Okay, practice habits yet to reflect a championship caliber team.

172
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 3: All Right, Now, I'm gonna ask you, Mike Carvin, question,

173
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 3: who is the head coach of the Chicago Bears?

174
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson?

175
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: Yes, Ben Johnson? Who is in charge of practices every day?

176
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: Who's in charge of Ben Johnson? Ben Johnson? Okay, Who's

177
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: the one that probably has the most say over how

178
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: a team practices in getting guys to buy.

179
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 3: In in twenty twenty five? It's Ben Johnson.

180
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: Ben. Here we go.

181
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson's the answer for all of those quess Here's

182
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 3: here's where you're.

183
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: Gonna love thee where I'm gonna take this. Who's their

184
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: opponent this week? We looked on on the we we

185
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 2: actually had this game later in the schedule. Petitioned the

186
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 2: NFL wanted to play him now so what we'll move

187
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 2: this game up to now so we could get to

188
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: two and one. Who's their defensive coordinator over in Dallas? Listen,

189
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 2: we don't Uh, we don't. We don't plan on defense. Uh.

190
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: I don't know that we have one because it really

191
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 2: it's overrated.

192
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,599
Speaker 3: Well, have Steven check because they you paid Matt Eberflus

193
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 3: to come.

194
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 2: No, I don't know. I don't. I don't think we

195
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: got the guy from the Bears, that really bad head coach.

196
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 2: They couldn't wait to get out of there. That the

197
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 2: smith got go eber Flutes. I had a funny bit

198
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: he does on the.

199
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,599
Speaker 3: Radio, the Pearl Jam with the Vetter kid McCready on

200
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 3: the guitar.

201
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: I kind of like that. But oh that's a guy

202
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 2: we hired. Oh well, we're gonna go out and get

203
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: Rex Ryan. Oh boy, good luck with that.

204
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 3: All of it to say, that was the reputation of

205
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 3: what you'd a had for several years under Eberflus, pretty loose

206
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: fluid practice.

207
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 2: Hey who built this roster? Oh that's the guy that

208
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 2: got the extension.

209
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 3: Hi, Ryan Poles, We're gonna sit swipe you while we're

210
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 3: here again. And they built a squad and they built

211
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 3: an environment, and again, you're trying to get rid of

212
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 3: a bunch of bad habits and a bunch of guys

213
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 3: that had gotten used to a different style, and you're

214
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 3: still trying to build it in your image and the

215
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: way we work in the off season. Anymore, do you

216
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 3: get enough practices to really beat the bad habits of yesteryear,

217
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 3: especially when that roster is constructed with most of those

218
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: same component parts.

219
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 2: No, so he was calling out.

220
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 3: All of the veteran players who dogged it last year

221
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 3: under Eberflus and brought some of that and having bought

222
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 3: in fully, which means he's already warning you that they're

223
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 3: gonna be about eight of these guys left on this

224
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 3: roster come twenty twenty six if he has his choice.

225
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, man, here's where I can be incredibly

226
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: positive about the Bears. Okay, this is how much fun

227
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: they've been so far. The first two weeks. They've been

228
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: a stories the first two weeks of the season.

229
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 2: They made two Offensive Player of the weeks. Yeah, yeah, Look,

230
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 2: I want to get a third with Dak Prescott.

231
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 3: This is the Bears, Yes, and I really I want

232
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 3: to say this the right way.

233
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 2: They are such a beautiful mess. It is.

234
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: It is really fantastic that it's such a beautiful mess.

235
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: That it's not just the team is bad, it's the

236
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: team is bad with Flair. And it's not that just

237
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: the team is bad with Flair, it's the.

238
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 2: Team is bad.

239
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 1: And boy, we make headlines outside of just being bad,

240
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: and we do that with Flair. This is this is

241
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: three big stories with the Bears. First, the smoke bomb

242
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: and leaving style.

243
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 6: You had.

244
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 1: You had the you know, blowing the lead opening night

245
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: Monday night game against the Vikings and the horrible decision

246
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: to kick off uh and kick it deep, which was stupid.

247
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: You had the pacing at the hands of the Lions

248
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: last week who ran up the score on you, and

249
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: you say I don't care.

250
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: I don't care.

251
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: And now you have this where you're saying, hey, yeah,

252
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: we're not practicing up to the championship level, which really,

253
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: you are the person that's responsible for it. I get

254
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: that every look, every guy is, every player is his

255
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: own person, and you you know you want to weed

256
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: those people out. But when you say that so early,

257
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: it's you feel like, hey, I am I am just

258
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: trying to find a way to stay afloat from week

259
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: to week and it's such an absolutely, it is a

260
00:11:59,000 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: beautiful mess.

261
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 6: Man.

262
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is it's one of those the bears

263
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: or that food that comes out of the oven and

264
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: it looks terrible, right, but it tastes so good because

265
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: the flavor is great. But presentation, I mean, if you're

266
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: on a food cooking show, you're gonna get it. Yeah,

267
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: this presentation is not good, right. The colors of the

268
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: food are not good off, but it tastes good. And

269
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: that's a The bears are such a beautiful mess it.

270
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 3: Man, They're they're not good and they have so many problems,

271
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 3: but boy, they're so much fun. Like these are fun

272
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 3: problems man, Like I I dig that every week that

273
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 3: every few days the Bears can give us this.

274
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 2: I didn't know that they were. This is great stuff.

275
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously, look, give me flavor over presentation any

276
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 3: day for the food. I mean, I know you'll you

277
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 3: eat with your eyes first.

278
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: I don't care. I don't need it to be pretty.

279
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 3: I just want to win, Okay, whether it's whatever's going

280
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 3: down my gullet or whatever I'm watching on a Sunday afternoon,

281
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 3: or the occasional evening game.

282
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 2: That's all I care about. Do I get the W?

283
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: And that's where Ben Johnson is right at this point,

284
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 2: he's saying it you're not that you haven't got any no, no, no, no, no,

285
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 2: no no.

286
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 3: But I'm saying he's drawing a line in the sand,

287
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 3: like because he could just be well, you know what,

288
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 3: we're not there yet, Like no, he's been going straight

289
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 3: to brass tax bold statements and and now he's got

290
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 3: to cash some pretty big checks that you know that

291
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 3: that he's writing here with his mouth and the expectations

292
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 3: that he's tried to put on this squad. Excuse me,

293
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 3: I seed growth And I'm holding two thoughts, you know,

294
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 3: running in parallel. I think you've got a flawed roster

295
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 3: and a flawed back history as related to polls, et cetera.

296
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 3: But I did see improvement with Caleb Williams week two.

297
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 3: I think there are going to be strides and it's

298
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 3: not built in the day. Again, You're you're changing entirely

299
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 3: the quarterback he is, but you're also trying to change

300
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 3: what has been a disastrously losing culture. What did they

301
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 3: celebrate again with that home game the other Bears. Yeah,

302
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 3: you're forty years of wandering in the desert. Have there

303
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 3: been more celebrations? Have there been more Dodger O Tani

304
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 3: Bobblehead Days or eighty five Bears celebrations. I gotta say

305
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 3: that that might take team that celebrates something more more frequently.

306
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 3: We'll find a way that you got them talking, Joe

307
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 3: Davis Bobblehead.

308
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: We're going to keep celebrating the Bears. Man, Hey, there's

309
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: celebrate that.

310
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 3: There's a multi story Barnes and Noble downtown by water

311
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 3: Tower Place and everything. If you go in there at

312
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 3: any point any year, there is a shelf. It is

313
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 3: a front facing end cap of new books about the

314
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,680

431
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,880

432
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: you know, just out of nowhere, when's the last time

433
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: the Cubs made the playoffs, I would say, well, a

434
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. But it's been five years. Like

435
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,719
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, I can't believe the last time they

436
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: made it was in that shortened season of twenty twenty.

437
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 1: Like that's real.

438
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: I mean.

439
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: I really would have said yeah, a couple of years ago,

440
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: they were probably there twenty twenty three and twenty twenty

441
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: But going back five years, last time the Cubs in

442
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs.

443
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean watch a lot of roster overhaul.

444
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 3: These spending changes with the Rickets and everything that's gone on.

445
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 3: A bunch of would be promising starts and late season failures.

446
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 3: That sounds familiar, doesn't it so because I really thought

447
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 3: we were going to get a different play at the

448
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 3: play of the day and that you were going to

449
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 3: get trolled doubly.

450
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 2: But yeah, big.

451
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,040

453
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 3: names we were talking about the first half of the season.

454
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 3: Second half, they've struggled, but you're still looking at greatness

455
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 3: in their rotation leading them to their eighty eighth win

456
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,600

00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 3: a decade, and you had so many years of futility.

473
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 3: Damn it, you make a playoff birth. I don't care

474
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,239
Speaker 3: if you're the last wild Guard team. You celebrate the

475
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 3: hell out of it. Uh so, congratulates to the Cubs.

476
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 3: I mean, how do you feel. I mean, it's got

477
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 3: to be okay for you. You've seen the Cubs win

478
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 3: going to the playoffs. I mean being like we have

479
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 3: to broadcast during the World Series. Hey, come on, I

480
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 3: was nice and professional during I wasn't hateful spiteful.

481
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 2: Oh. I don't know. I think I celebrate greatness no

482
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 2: wherever it comes. I think I think you.

483
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 3: Were outwardly right. Just like week one when we were

484
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 3: there with the Bears and the and the Vikings. I

485
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 3: would say kept being too mad. But what are the

486
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 3: three words you just said to describe you weren't hateful spiteful?

487
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 3: And what were their hateful? Spiteful? And what was the

488
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 3: other one?

489
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 2: Jaded?

490
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 1: Jab uh hateful? No, I'd say you're probably low. On

491
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 1: a scale of one to ten, I'd say you're low jaded. No,

492
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: you're you're liking a nine and a half.

493
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's generally my spiteful.

494
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 3: Spiteful is kind of a sliding rule for you were

495
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 3: anywhere spiteful. You go from a six to like a nineteen,

496
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 3: Like it's a real sliding span for your way.

497
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 2: Oh no, harmon seems fine.

498
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 8: There's like oh.

499
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 2: No, no, no, he is complete.

500
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 3: Well, I'm a master of the English language, so I

501
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 3: mean I can hide it with some big five out words.

502
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 3: It's like, wait, what was he saying?

503
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 2: There? Was he really mad? It's like, I don't know

504
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 2: he used that word? What does that mean?

505
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 3: So yeah, look in the end, I cheer for my

506
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 3: friends and long suffering family members. You know, Mom has

507
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 3: adopted the Rays to a large degree. She's more a

508
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 3: hockey fan. At this point. My dad and she are

509
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 3: already counting days down to lightning hockey, which is pretty cool,

510
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 3: I think, and the.

511
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 2: Stage of things.

512
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 3: But you know, my mom was always a Cup fan

513
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 3: growing up in a house full of white Sox fans,

514
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 3: and my dad who just as long as we weren't

515
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 3: fighting and attacking each other, he didn't care. So for them, yeah,

516
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 3: I'm happy to a point. Now, if they're in a

517
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 3: deep playoff run into the World Series, we'll have another

518
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 3: discussion and we'll have to weather that one day to day.

519
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: Now, let's get to something I've talked about for the

520
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: better part of the last eighteen months, about a very

521
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: specific thing for a big superstar player in basement that Wan.

522
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 3: Soto can't deliver with runners on base in the ninth

523
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 3: inning and the Mets fall to Owen sixty five when

524
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 3: losing and trailing after eight inn I think he.

525
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: Broke Suarez's ribs the line drive up the middle, and

526
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: Suarez just put his body in front of it and

527
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: made the play.

528
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 2: Okay, that's not what I'm talking.

529
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 3: I want to tops now card to his facial expression though,

530
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 3: as that.

531
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 2: Ball is coming back.

532
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 3: So what have I been saying for show Heyotani the

533
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 3: last year and a half? Guilty back pitch it? Wow?

534
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 8: Whoa?

535
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 2: Whoa? That jaded. That's good.

536
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 3: That's spite foot that slid up to nineteen. You hav

537
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 3: an eighteen and a half nineteen.

538
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 1: Now uh Otani coming back should close. That should be

539
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: what it is. You want to preserve Otani's arm and

540
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: have him pitchley. Look, you gave him all that money

541
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: for the next few years, and when you're gonna have

542
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: to start giving him forty million dollars a year in

543
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: a few years ago, you're gonna want to say, hey,

544
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: we want everything we can get back from this five

545
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 1: innings of no hit ball last night. He comes out

546
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: of the game and the bullpen gives it up right away,

547
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: right the bullpen, who has been awful. I believe most

548
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: home runs in the National League this year, second most

549
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: home runs in baseball seventy eight. Now they are the

550
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 1: big X factor of the playoffs. If the Dodgers' bullpen

551
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,719
Speaker 1: is this, Dodgers ain't winning the World Series. They're going

552
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: to go out in the first round they play. That's

553
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 1: how bad this bullpen has been. So Otani, talking to

554
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: the Japanese media, said today, hey, quote, as a player,

555
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: if I'm told to go somewhere, I want to be

556
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: prepared to do so that's on the mound and perhaps

557
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 1: even in the outfield. Now, why would Otani want to

558
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: go out and play the outfield, Because if he plays

559
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: the outfield, he can come in to pitch in relief

560
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: and they don't lose his position on the field. He

561
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: can pitch, then go back to playing outfield, start in

562
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: right field, can come into pitch an inning in the

563
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: ninth inning, and if he's got to go back out

564
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,479
Speaker 1: there in the tenth inning, he can do it.

565
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 2: Right.

566
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: This is what what if I said eighteen months he

567
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: should close? And what do the Dodgers have a bigger

568
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: problem than anything else right now? Problems in the bullpen,

569
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: big issues in the bullpen. Otani, Yes, would he be

570
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: terrific to start, Yes, to go four innings in a

571
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: playoff game, But that's really what he's gonna go. You're

572
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: not gonna go any more than that. You know he's

573
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 1: gonna throw a lot of pitches. So and then you

574
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: got to move your lineup around to have him start.

575
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: But if you put him out there in the outfield

576
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: and he comes in to close, hey, guess what, man,

577
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: You've solved a really big problem, right because he's throwing

578
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: the ball really well. He's doing everything you need. All

579
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I'm the shadow GM of the Dodgers.

580
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: Or Otani listens to the show, and he listens and

581
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: and and and and you know, then says, Hey, this

582
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: is what I want to say through an interpreter. So

583
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 1: he tell says he listens to the show and then

584
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: gets it out there. Hey, I'll go out play the

585
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: outfield because he's open to coming in to pitch in relief.

586
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 1: What have I said for Oti?

587
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 2: Again? He should be closing.

588
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 1: And now here's the possibility if this happens and the

589
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 1: Dodgers get a ring, I get a ring because I've

590
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: been talking about this for a year and a half.

591
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 2: Can he bring some of his friends with him from

592
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 2: the starting rotation into the bullpen with him? I thought,

593
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 2: you've been into the outfield?

594
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 3: Uh. I think as we talked about it a bit yesterday,

595
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 3: that was where we were leading the conversation. And obviously

596
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 3: O Toaddi being the first chip there. And I heard

597
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 3: David Vassey on five point seventy a little as I

598
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 3: was driving and he referenced just kind of obliquely the

599
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 3: struggles Clayton Kershaw's had in his first inning, and he

600
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 3: kind of estimated what his era was and I'm like,

601
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 3: that can't be right, Is that right? Seven six' five

602
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 3: first inning era this?

603
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 2: Year? Yeah pretty. Amazing that's how that so Much soto got? Paid,

604
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 2: yeah seven sixty see it all and all the.

605
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 3: Greats but the idea that with The dodgers for so

606
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 3: long in the regular, season we've been charting how many

607
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 3: of those starting pitchers have been. Available now it becomes

608
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 3: the all, right how many of these guys can save

609
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 3: you from having to go to the pen that has

610
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 3: been so. Awful right before last night's, game we were

611
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 3: looking at a four to two oh er and then

612
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 3: they gave up three home runs batting, around and we're

613
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 3: now talking about just absolute implosion time after time for

614
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,239
Speaker 3: a couple of guys that you went and spent a

615
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 3: lot of, money of, course a lot of. Money and

616
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 3: Then blake trying and has has. Struggled you, know a

617
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 3: guy that's had great success with The dodgers in the,

618
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 3: past but for Show, Haotani, yeah you're trying to figure, Out,

619
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 3: look the money's in, consequence so you're you're printing money

620
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 3: related to him in terms of his overall, marketing and

621
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,920

Speaker 3: cash or when they get into the. Ballpark but For, otani,

627
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 3: yeah you've got to be creative as to how to

628
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 3: utilize him as frequently as you. Can if you're gonna

629
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 3: limit the innings that he can, pitch keep him on

630
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 3: the restricted pitch. Count this does open things up For

631
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 3: Dave roberts quite a bit, because especially after those first

632
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 3: couple of, starts he's had a pretty good run.

633
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 2: Here.

634
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 3: Now Dave roberts was asked about this and he. Didn't

635
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 3: first he didn't kind of rule it, out and then he, said,

636
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 3: ah maybe maybe, not BUT i gotta say, this why?

637
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 3: Not The dodgers defense is terrible. Already you're not gonna win, defensively.

638
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 2: Right you.

639
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 3: Caught something from The, yes they still haven't gotten over

640
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 3: Losing Trey, turner which was the succession plan For. Corey,

641
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,239
Speaker 3: seeger they Get Trey, turner he's gonna. Stay, no they

642
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 3: didn't do.

643
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: That so now we're Moving Mooki, betts and Now Mookie

644
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: bets doesn't, hit and we make them play the.

645
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 2: Infield he's not quite. There the guy's a gold glove right.

646
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: Fielder but, no, no, No Toaskar hernandez awful in the, outfield,

647
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: Right so is it gonna be any worse With otani

648
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: in the outfield even though he hasn't played it in

649
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: about four?

650
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 3: Years take a look at some video Of otani playing

651
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 3: the right field In. Japan not, bad but it doesn't

652
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 3: matter because you're not built to be a great defensive team, anyway,

653
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 3: Right you're not doing, that and it's really no, Worse

654
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 3: so why not do? That you, take you have two.

655
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 3: Weaknesses they have two. Weakness you have the, bullpen you

656
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,959
Speaker 3: have your team. Defense, okay you're helping your bullpen with this.

657
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 3: Move your defense is about the, same, right because Again

658
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 3: otani hasn't played there in a, while he doesn't know the.

659
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 3: Corner But i'm pretty Sure otani would be okay in

660
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 3: the outfield if you wanted to do. That SO i

661
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 3: get The dodgers don't want to make that commitment, now

662
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 3: but this is not something WHERE i Think Dave roberts is, no, no,

663
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 3: no not gonna. Happen this is gonna Be, hey if

664
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 3: we need it in the, playoffs we absolutely will do

665
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 3: this because we Need otani to come in and we

666
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 3: need to make sure that the end of games our

667
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 3: team is full of confidence and not just, great here

668
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 3: comes somebody to give it, up, Right, like that's the

669
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 3: big you can you can really help get rid of

670
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 3: a really bad situation right now by doing that with

671
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 3: the specter Of otani coming into the ninth inning of

672
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 3: games or in a big, spot, right he can come

673
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 3: in the eighth, right somebody else come in right, field he,

674
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 3: goes that goes back to right, field picture comes.

675
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: In you can do, that, right you can absolutely do.

676
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: That and, again if The dodgers, WIN i want A

677
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: World series ring because it was my.

678
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 2: Idea.

00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 3: Yeah the other part to, this and you Know i've

680
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,520

681
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 3: year's playoff run and the bullpen. Management he's the figurehead

682
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 3: and knees the face of what goes. On But Dave

683
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 3: roberts more or less said the quiet part out. Loud

684
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 3: it's it's not his decision. Rights it goes up the food.

685
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 3: Chain for DISCUSSION uh and deployment based on the, metrics the,

686
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 3: analytics and and where they're feeling at a at a given,

00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 3: time right with DIFFERENT uh struggles or the positives that

688
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 3: you've got from different members of that. Bullpen so, yeah

689
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 3: unfortunately he can't give you a straight. Answer but what's

695
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,040

696
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 3: One The rams always a, ring, Right rams always a.

697
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 3: Ring and The lakers if they win With, luca, right

698
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 3: they owe us a ring BECAUSE Jj reddick hates me

699
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 3: and MAYBE i smelled The lakers. ON i didn't Think

700
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 3: i'd get in the position WHERE i could say The

701
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 3: dodgers they probably last. YEAR i, MEAN i really think,

702
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 3: that and happy. BELATED i think it was either yesterday

703
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:09,120

704

00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: hey The dodgers could owe me a ring for, it

709
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:17,680

821

822
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: Teams know that during the course of the season they're

823
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: gonna be embarrassed in certain. Games, well the bad teams.

824
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: Do but when it happens at one o'clock on A, sunday.

00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 3: It's much it can be, okay, yeah than it is

826
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 3: on A thursday night when you're the only. Game things

827
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 3: are so bad From miami right. Now if you did

828
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 3: a power rankings of, hey who's the worst? Organizations like

829
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 3: who's team number thirty two because they have the least,

830
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 3: future it would be The Miami dolphins because not only

831
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 3: do they have the biggest, mess they have the biggest

832
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 3: cleanup because they're paying a lot of guys and a

833
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 3: head coach that's probably gonna go at some, point and

834
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 3: how do you clean this? Up like The, browns they're a, mess,

835
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 3: Right but, okay this Is, hey we're gonna draft a

836
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 3: quarterback and we're gonna. Build we're not spending all kinds

837
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 3: of money on different. Players we don't have to get

838
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 3: out from all these different contracts and build a team one.

839
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 3: Way and now we gotta tear it down to the

840
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 3: studs with a new head. Coach we're gonna keep our

841
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 3: head coach Because stefanski is a pretty good head coach

842
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 3: and you just have to bleed it out to that

843
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 3: bad quarterback contract that's just sitting off in the.

844
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 2: Weeds.

845
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: Right the biggest mess is easily The dolphins because not

846
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: only where they're, at but what they have to do

847
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: to dig out of. This, right we've already Said Tyreek

848
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 1: hill is gonna be. Gone they're gonna trade him at

849
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 1: some point to a tongue OF i, looa this is

850
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: his last year with The, dolphins because he's gonna wind

851
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: up being somewhere else next. Year but if The dolphins

852
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: get embarrassed tomorrow, night AND i don't see there being

853
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: any other result other than The dolphins getting embarrassed by

854
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: The Buffalo bills because they didn't show up for week

855
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: one and you get boat raced by a team where

856
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: you just, say, wow, man how do you show up like?

857
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: That and then week two you lose it home at one.

858
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 3: O'CLOCK i, mean like that's the whole big thing to, Say,

00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 3: hey when when you're when the Remember Jason cole last,

860

Speaker 3: week The dolphins have won at home at one o'clock

861
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 3: over In september eighty five percent of the, time you,

862
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 3: know like that, usually, yeah statistically it has worn, out,

863
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 3: Right so so that's a, thing right because.

864
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 2: Even brady, Struggled, yeah going down there right? Times did

865

00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 3: god they don't match up at.

868
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: All doesn't matter in that. Heat teams wilt and The

869
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: dolphins win these. Games but not only they sit at

870
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: zero and. Two their point differential is minus thirty one

871
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: if they get, embarrassed if they are embarrassed against The

872
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: bills against a division, opponent, right because now you're talking about, okay,

873
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: man we really we could be the worst team in

874
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: this division by. Far mike McDaniel's not going to make

875
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: it out Of september as the head, coach and it

876
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,040

Speaker 1: For mike McDaniel as The dolphins head. Coach like, that

883
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,280
