It just it happens, and it's unbelievable to 16 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 1: be honest. You know, I was, in another life a 17 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: Jets fan. I was such a a football fan and 18 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: a Jets fan as a kid. And it's a true story. Jason, 19 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: I would not you know you're working. I was a 20 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: shoe salesman in the mall, the Queens Center Mall on 21 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: Queens Boulevard in New York and I went to my boss, 22 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,839 Speaker 1: Shelley Zimmerman, and I said, Hey, Shelley, I don't work 23 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: September through December during football seasons on Sunday, like I'm out, 24 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: don't put me on the schedule. I have to watch 25 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: the Jets and the NFL on Sundays. You know, working 26 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: in the mall, you supposed to work on the weekends, right, Yeah, 27 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: that's it's a pretty big demand to make there, you know, 28 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: as sixteen years old. Seventeen years old, that's what my 29 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: demand was. And guess what they allowed me to be 30 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: off on Sundays during football season. I thought you're gonna 31 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: say they allowed me to be up on Sundays and 32 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: every other day other day, right, I mean, that's what 33 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: would have happened, but not in this case. They understood, 34 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: you know, like my dream of being a sports writer 35 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: and you know, being into sports, and they gave me that. 36 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: I was always very fortunate because they allowed me to 37 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: be off touring those time. And were you always trying 38 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: to you know, put give people's shoes and talk sports 39 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: with them too. Well, I was a children's shoe store, 40 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: so I was trying to keep the kids from slobbering 41 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: on my hand whenever I did their shoe size, you 42 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: know what I mean, on that machine trying to figure 43 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: out what size they were. Kids would normally tip their 44 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: head down the look and then slab would usually come 45 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,119 Speaker 1: out of their mouth. So I learned that pretty quick 46 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: that I needed to move my hand. Oh, I'll that's well, hey, 47 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: you know what that's being a quick learner. I'll tell 48 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: you because I you know, I don't look well the 49 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: certain things I know now when when when it comes 50 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: to sports and it comes to my team's right, is 51 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: that when I get because I turned my phone off 52 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: every day and every night when I go to bed, 53 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: because still, you know, I don't know who's got my 54 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: phone number. If there's a robocall that comes in, or 55 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: somebody from the East Coast wants to call me and 56 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: they go, oh, well it's nine o'clock here, Yeah, it's 57 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: six am here. What I just got to sleep like 58 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: three and a half hours ago. What what? What? So 59 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: I turned my phone on whenever I turned my phone 60 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 1: on in the morning. You know, you get that from 61 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: you know, a couple of emails, like a couple of 62 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: voicemails that people call. But I always know. Whenever I 63 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: get up and I turned my phone on and I 64 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: hear I'm going, oh, something happened with the Jets or 65 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 1: the Mets something or the Knicks. Something happened. Because that's 66 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: not normal for me. I go, what happened? What happened? 67 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: I get so, I get up, I get on the phone. 68 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,519 Speaker 1: I get to Twitter right away and I see the 69 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: word Achilles trending and I go, oh, no, it is 70 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: a Zec Wilson. Why am I saying that I'm putting 71 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: it on the atmosphere. I'm like, oh, my guys. And 72 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: I look and I see it's Carl Loss and I go, oh, 73 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: come on, man, our best player. Really? But then I 74 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: understand that this is just how it goes. This is 75 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: how it goes to the Jets, certain teams. It's like 76 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,119 Speaker 1: you can't escape your identity and your reality and who 77 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: you are. It's like no, no, no, what it is, 78 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: just can't escape. It just gets just know what happened 79 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: the other part two? And quickly, as bad as the 80 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: Jets have been, people forget the Rex Ryan and era. 81 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: People totally gloss over. I mean they went to two 82 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: straight AFC Championship Games. Mark Sanchez has four road playoff wins. 83 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: There was a moment there where a window was open, 84 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: but it seemed like it was one hundred years ago. 85 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: It's kind of weird when you talk about the Jets. Oh, 86 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: every everything seems like a hundred years ago. Everything does 87 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 1: everything like, oh, look how good we are, and now 88 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,799 Speaker 1: it's okay. Now we're recharging, we got a new quarterback 89 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: and everything is good. Then you look up and you go, boy, 90 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: Cam Newton's playing well and Mac Jones is playing well. 91 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, all right, so now we're just we're 92 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: just right back where we started from. We're just hitting 93 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: right back there in the middle. And it's it's it's 94 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: very sobering because I usually want the Mets just to 95 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: get me to the Jets season. Now I'm like, okay, 96 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: now the Jets got to get me to the Knicks. 97 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: And that's in November, so that's a long way to go. 98 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: It's I'm like, come on, tick tick tickets the middle 99 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 1: of August. You gotta get me there before you fold, 100 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: before you start losing all kinds of games where I 101 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: gotta watch the Mets and the Dodgers last night and 102 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: the Mets can't hit seven relievers that the Dodgers put 103 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: out there, not one guy could they put runs on 104 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: the scoreboard. I'm going, okay, okay, just just get me 105 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: to the next season. Just just keep moving, keep it moving. 106 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: That's where I'm at, hey and real quick on the Mets. 107 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: This is not new Chili. Davis lost his job in May. 108 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: If you remember, I mean, people forget. They've been struggling offensively, 109 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: and they did it with tape glue and mirrors. Early on, 110 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: they got exceptional starting pitching. That's what allowed them to 111 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: stay in the race. But they're hitting has been terrible 112 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: all year and I'm not surprised that. And then they 113 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: had the worst task of facing the Dodgers and Giants 114 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: thirteen straight games. You know what I mean A Baker's doesn't. 115 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: I mean, that's you're just not gonna win. How are 116 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: you gonna win? Facing those two teams for thirteen straight games? 117 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: Not a good look. It's like more games, right. The 118 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: only way to win is not to play. That's that's 119 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: that's how you do it. Well, we don't show up. 120 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: We can't lose, all right, that might be the right thing. 121 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: Jason Smith Rob Parker in for Dan and the Dan 122 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: that's this morning. We got some baseball coming up. Later 123 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: on in the show, we have Amy Dash Fox Sports 124 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: one league analysts stopping buy a little bit less than 125 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: a half hour to talk about all the latest developments 126 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: involving Trevor Bauer. Could he come back to Major league 127 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: baseball after the big headline yesterday? But we're getting set 128 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: now for Week two in the NFL preseason. And you know, Rob, 129 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 1: the thing is, I like preseason football. I mean I know, 130 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: so you're the guy. You're the only one. You don't. 131 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: I don't you don't like watching preseason foot can watch 132 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: it at all? Like why I've watched it because it 133 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: was my job when I was a columnist in Detroit, 134 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: and I would, you know, do Lions preseason game? But 135 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: as a fan, come on, you're lying to mean, man, 136 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: that's the here are the Lions. It was Detroit, there 137 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: was there was no such thing as having to watch football. 138 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: And I mean no, I mean, you know, like for 139 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 1: my to write a column off those games. But I'm 140 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: just saying, if I have my choice, I understand why 141 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: the NFL, you know, ziggied one of the preseason games. 142 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,679 Speaker 1: Preseason football might be the worst thing I've ever seen. 143 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: It just isn't interesting. And especially after you take out 144 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: the few guys you do know, or if you don't 145 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: play those guys Jason Guides who have never played, it 146 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: just it has to be for everything, like you're playing 147 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: for something or football is totally different. That's why the 148 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl doesn't work. That's why people won't watch it. 149 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: They love football, they won't watch it because it's not real. Yeah, 150 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: I'm with you on the Pro Bowl. You know, a 151 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: lot of all star games and sports have seen their 152 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: day and it's come and gone. But I just like 153 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: the fact that it's there and you can and you 154 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: talk about hope and who's looking good and who isn't. 155 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: It's like a free month of not having stress. I mean, 156 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: unless you wake up and find out your best player 157 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: ruptures as achilles, and then what are you gonna do? 158 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: But you know, for the most part, it's a month. 159 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: It's a month of just hey, you know what, whatever 160 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: happens happens, everything is still possible. And you know you're 161 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: gonna have rookies that look good, You're gonna have some 162 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: people that don't look good, and if they don't look good, 163 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: you just say, well, it's the preseason. What does it matter. Well, 164 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: there you go. You just said it that that's the 165 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: whole thing. If somebody doesn't play well, you can discount 166 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: it and pooh pooh it. And if somebody plays well, 167 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: you build it up. And it's the same story, like 168 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: all the time about oh yeah, they got a chance. 169 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: They've been saying that we just went up the Lions. 170 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: People have been saying, Okay, this is the year for 171 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: the Lions. They got one playoff win since nineteen fifty seven. 172 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: But I've heard year in and year round, oh yeah, 173 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: well I got a new coach and a general manager, 174 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: made these great picks, and they had a great draft 175 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: and and this is gonna be the year that Stafford 176 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 1: turns it around. Not that he's there anymore, but but 177 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: that's what I've heard for decades, like, oh yeah, this 178 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: is it. They got everything, they got all the pieces, 179 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: and so people want to buy that and buy into it. 180 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to knock people if that's how 181 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: you want to conduct your life and feel good for 182 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: a month, as you say, but it's kind of the 183 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: same story all the time. So so you're not that 184 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: the whole Cam Newton mac Jones think that's not interesting 185 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: to you. None, None of that is none of all 186 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: that stuff going on that's different between you got two 187 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: viable players and most of the preseason is not filled 188 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: with viable players. In this case, sure, this is a 189 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: good storyline. I believe that Cam Newton should be the 190 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: starting quarterback because if he's not, he probably shouldn't be 191 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: on the Patriots. They went out, they made moves, they 192 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: signed all these people. They spent more money, Jason than 193 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: you want to Saturday trip to the mall with your daughter. Okay, 194 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: you know, like they went out and spent money. And 195 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: remember their personnel was thin, and they still went won 196 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: seven games last year and Cam, you know, had COVID 197 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: and you know, like things and and five or six 198 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: I was it, five starters opted out because of COVID. 199 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: I mean, so they were thin and still won seven games, 200 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: and they went out and short up this team. And 201 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: I just think, not that Mac Jones is in the future, 202 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: but if you got a guy like Cam, you got 203 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: this team and you're trying to make that next step. 204 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: I think Cam should beat his daughter until he plays 205 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: some games and proves that he can't play anymore. That's 206 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: how I look at it. See I'm on the other side. 207 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: This is I think this is a fixed quarterback competition 208 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: that we know what the outcome is gonna be. All 209 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: right now, it's gonna wind up being mac Jones and 210 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: it's going exactly how the Patriots thought it was going 211 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: to go and how they wanted the season. He's gonna 212 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: start the season as Patriots quarterbacks. Bet you, I'll bet 213 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: you wings. He doesn't you know how many wings you 214 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,599 Speaker 1: owe me from the last like fifty wings? You'll be 215 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: like fifty wings, we bet. I just I have my 216 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: Rob Parker wing counter that available. I can go look 217 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: it up in my book, and I am like plus fifty. 218 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: I'm like plus fifty in the ledger. I think you 219 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: owe a lot of people wings. What no when in 220 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: most of these wing bets? But go ahead, you're that 221 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: you know, you're that guy in the movies when they 222 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: look for you, go where's Rob Parker? And they you know, 223 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,839 Speaker 1: he's racked up a lot of wing bets across town. 224 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: Wouldn't be surprised if something happened to the guy he's 225 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 1: he owes a lot, you know, heyes, and they don't 226 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: roll over. It's gets I don't know I don't know. 227 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 1: They've got a lot of people upset man. People come 228 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: looking for Rob Parker. I don't see him that often anymore. Well, 229 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 1: let's put this one on the record. Okay, let's just 230 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: get twenty wings in a large die coke for me. Whatever, 231 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: bever woge you like running wings? I say, Cam Newton, 232 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: let's get this recorded and and we'll hang on to this. Okay, 233 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: Cam Newton will be the starter, not Mac Jones. All right, 234 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: well let me tell you why I'm gonna be now 235 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: up seventy in the wing common You're gonna completely disappear 236 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: every time I checks you or call you. Right, So 237 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: they get they keep Cam Newton because they have to, 238 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: because you don't know how it's gonna go in the draft. 239 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: And they get Mac Jones right now. So Mac Jones 240 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: shows up and clearly the media and the fans all 241 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: think it's Tom Brady. All think they got Tom Brady again. Oh, 242 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: it's intangibles are so good. Oh look at the way 243 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: he throws a ball. Yes, because fifteen teams passed on 244 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: the next Tom Brady and you guys got him at fifteen. Okay, 245 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: but they clearly wanted to go in this direction. At quarterback. Right, 246 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: you don't take a guy in the first round unless 247 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: you're ready to replace the guy you have. So what 248 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: how is this battle unfolding? Right? Last night they both 249 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: play well? Right, Cam goes eight out of nine, hunchdown 250 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: and touchdown. I mean, yeah he was. Mat Jones was good, right, 251 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: Mac Joese one hundred and forty six yards, Yeah he was. 252 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: Mac Jones is pretty good too, and Mac Jones played 253 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: a lot more than Cam Newton did. Now this is 254 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: how it's going, right is that? Here's how it's all. 255 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: I think it's a fixed competition. Cam Newton's out there 256 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: and all camp. What have we heard from Belichick? Well, 257 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: Cam's our guy, But when Mac is ready, then we're 258 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: gonna then we're gonna make that decision on Mac. Right, 259 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: not Cam's our guy in the beginning, and then you know, 260 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: if he plays great, he's gonna be our starts when 261 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: Mac is ready, he's our guy, right, not not when 262 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: he's ready. So really doesn't matter what Cam Newton does. 263 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: When Mac Jones is ready, he's the guy. So all 264 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 1: through training camp they've been kind of splitting the role, split, 265 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: splitting the reps with the Ones. But Cam Newton's been 266 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: starting because all that's all off season has been. You know, 267 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: Cam's a guy for now and then Matt. So mac 268 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: Jones is now able to assimilate to life in the 269 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: NFL and be able to go through all the practices 270 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: and get ready and get all the reps and play 271 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: the bulk of the time in the games pretty much 272 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: under the radar because who is he playing, But it 273 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. All he's got to do 274 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: is show that I'm ready to play. I'm not throwing 275 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: up on myself. I'm not missing the checkdowns. I'm not 276 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: you know, throwing three interceptions. I'm not trying to force 277 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: the ball where it should be. All he's got to do, 278 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 1: and this is why he's getting the bulk of the 279 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: playing time in the preseason, is to show that, okay, 280 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: let me see that you can handle this responsibility. And 281 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: every week he is playing fine. There's nothing I've seen 282 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: from mac Jones last night, last week that tells me, boy, 283 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: the guy's not ready. He needs some time, he needs 284 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: to sit, he needs you know, he doesn't he doesn't 285 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 1: get it quite yet, and he needs some time to 286 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: be able to ease into that role a little bit 287 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 1: more and see what life in the NFL is. So 288 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,839 Speaker 1: every week it's going Cam Newton's playing a little bit, 289 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: Mac Jones is playing a lot, and he's doing it 290 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: outside the spotlight. And this is exactly what you want, 291 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: because you don't want every day for him to learn 292 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: to be the starting quarterback with an announcement of hey, 293 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: Mac Jones is great, he's our guy, because then every 294 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: day at practice, how do you feel Mac is at pressure? 295 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: You're replacing Tom Brady all these things. So now he's 296 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: able to learn out of that. So as long as 297 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: he plays well, he's got one more week, right, and 298 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: he's gonna play well then because he's played well so far, 299 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: and like four or five days before the season starts, boom, 300 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: it's gonna be Mac Jones is our quarterback. And then 301 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: clearly he's got to answer the questions he's now the 302 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: starting quarterback. But he's been able to go through the 303 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: entirety of training camp without having to worry about the 304 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: burden of being the number one QB. And this is 305 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: exactly how the Patriots thought it would go. And this 306 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: is what's their plan from the beginning. We'll let Cam 307 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: out there. You know, Cam's done this all the way through, 308 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: and if mac Jones is terrible, we can go with 309 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: Cam for a bit. But clearly mac Jones is playing. 310 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: So you're taking Belichick at his word because he said 311 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: when Mac is ready, he's the guy, and clearly mac 312 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: Jones is showing that, Hey, I'm gonna be ready sooner 313 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: rather later. Yeah. I mean, if you're worried about your quarterback, 314 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: you know, worried about answering a few questions about being 315 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: a starting quarterback. He was drafted in the first round. 316 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: I mean, he knows he's going to play eventually. He 317 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: wasn't drafted in the ninth round or anything. He was 318 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: drafted in the first round. He knows he eventually going 319 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: to have that job. I just don't think that Belichick 320 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: and them are going to make that they have a 321 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: chance to make noise, make the playoffs. They weren't that 322 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: far off. And before you give up on a former 323 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: MVP quarterback, you gotta make sure that he can't play. 324 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: And it's not like he's making fifteen million dollars and 325 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: you can't get rid of him. I just don't see 326 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: how Cam stays there once he's not the starter. Bill 327 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: Belichick has great respect for Cam. All he's done is 328 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: talk up Cam the entire time. I don't know how 329 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: healthy he was a year ago. I know he had cold. 330 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: I know at one point the Patriots looks like they 331 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: were doing something. I remember that game in Seattle that 332 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: they could have easily won. It might have changed their fortune. 333 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: If you remember, you got stopped at the one yard line, 334 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: which doesn't happen often. But my point is, I'm not 335 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: convinced that Matt Jones is the starter in game one 336 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: day one. Will he be the starter this season? Absolutely 337 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: at some point unless the Patriots start four and oh 338 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: or five and oh, or Cam is playing good or 339 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: great or whatever you want to say. So I'm just 340 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: not there with you, and I don't understand the logic behind. 341 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: If he's that guy and he's playing so great and 342 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: wowing everybody in practice, and everybody on the team knows it, 343 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: then what's the What are you hiding? Who are you? 344 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: Who are you trying to protect? If he's that guy, 345 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: you could say he's gonna be our quarterback. It's just 346 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: that simple. Yeah, And they took him in the first 347 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: round to do this, right, I mean he's gonna take 348 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: over for Cam, right, They knew when you say he's 349 00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: not gonna do an opening day, that's what he's trying 350 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: to tell you. When he's ready, he's ready, right, And 351 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: you don't want to give up a rookie season on 352 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 1: a quarterback by putting him in at some point when 353 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: either the season you're behind the eight ball or you're 354 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: worried about him. Try you want to give him as 355 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: much chance as possible because you don't want to burn 356 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: a rookie quarterbacks contract. Right. This is why the Jets 357 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: with Zach Wilson are doing the right thing. Let's give 358 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: him all the reps and get him ready. And you 359 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: look at that at Justin fields All he's still with 360 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: the twos. You look at Trey Lance, he's still with 361 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: the twos. What are you doing ife of those teams? 362 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 1: You know what you got. You want to make sure 363 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: you guy gets reps and gets ready as he can get, 364 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: they get bulk of playing time, they're able to do 365 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: all these things. This is kind of how it's going 366 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: in New England. He's gonna take over. So at some 367 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: point Cam's not going to be the quarterback and it's 368 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:43,959 Speaker 1: gonna be with a lot of playing time to go 369 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: in the season. So what does it matter if it's 370 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 1: week one or if it's week three, because it's not 371 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: gonna be where Mac Jones is gonna sit till week eight, 372 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: week nine and suddenly, okay, now we're gonna go make 373 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: this decision. If five and oh you think Mac Jones 374 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: is going in, I think they'd be five and oh 375 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: with Mac Jones. No, I'm asking you if Cam played 376 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: and there were five and old to start this season 377 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: as Mac Jones going in. If Cam's not playing well, yes, 378 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: if they're getting by on defense and running the football, 379 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: and you'd saying he plays well enough to take them 380 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 1: to five and oh. If Cam Newton is playing great, yeah, 381 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: he'll still be the quarterback until they lose or start losing. 382 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: But that's you. You're going on that he's named the 383 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 1: starter and that he plays well all the way. You're saying, 384 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 1: I don't I don't think it's automatic if the guy 385 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 1: gets off to a great start and they start to 386 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: win and he starts. If you don't want that to 387 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: happen and it's all about Mac, you don't even give 388 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: Cam that opportunity. That's my point is that you don't 389 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,360 Speaker 1: even give him that opportunity. To just say Max the starter, regardless, 390 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 1: we got a good defense, we got a good offense. 391 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: We're going to win games with Mac and you just 392 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: go that route Twitter At, how about a Frescott rob 393 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 1: at Rob Parker FS one.

Coming 440 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: up on what's going on with Trevor Bauer as a 441 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: big headline. Late last night, the temporary restraining order against 442 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: Bauer was dissolved after an LA Superior Court judge ruled 443 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: against a woman's request for a permanent restraining order on Thursday. Bauer, 444 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 1: who of course, has not been pitching for the Dodgers 445 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: the past few weeks, after he has been investigated for 446 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: charges that he injured a woman during a course of 447 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: two sexual encounters. This was a trial right now that 448 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: just went on about the restraining order. The woman wanted 449 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: a restraining order against him, and the judge, Diana Gould 450 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: Saltman said that her injuries that we have heard about 451 00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: pictures and scene photos that were not yes, having they're awful. 452 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,360 Speaker 1: I mean you look at him and go, oh my goodness. Uh, 453 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: the injuries were not the result of anything she verbally 454 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: objected to before or during the encounter. So, you know, 455 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 1: on the surface, you look and say, okay, well this 456 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: is you know, if you're talking about what's good and 457 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: bad news going on with this trial, with this situation, 458 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: it's a good day for Trevor Bauer because you know, 459 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: getting into the investigation, Hey, here's precedent by a judge 460 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,640 Speaker 1: that says the injuries weren't the result of anything she 461 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: didn't object to. Now, this doesn't mean that the police 462 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: case or the investigation by Major League Baseball is going away. 463 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: Now it's into the Pasadena police and MLB as this unfolds. 464 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: But Rob, I see this, and and I and I go, 465 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 1: you know, no matter how this turns out, let let's 466 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: just say it turns out where where it gets to smit. 467 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: There's two outcomes, right, either uh, you know, she wins 468 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: or he wins. And let's just say it comes out 469 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 1: that he wins, there's no way he can go back 470 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 1: to the Dodgers. I mean they've took his name plate down, 471 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: his locker down, and and even even when it comes 472 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: I have a babble head day, remember that they canceled 473 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,439 Speaker 1: that weeks ago. Yeah, I don't. There's no way he 474 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: can go back. And it's gonna get real sticky about 475 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,239 Speaker 1: his future in baseball because look, Dodgers have already moved on. Right, 476 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: There's been reports that, hey, they don't want him back 477 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: in the clubhouse. And I get that because no matter 478 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: what you know this about this guy, because this is 479 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: not something that Trevor Bauer says, I didn't do it, 480 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: No I did this, but she said it was okay. 481 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: And it's like, whoa, there's somebody you know that's capable 482 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 1: of stuff like that. Can you really have them back 483 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: in your locker room? Can you really say, Hey, this 484 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: guy's my teammate. I mean, even if he winds up 485 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 1: getting reinstated, I can't believe the Dodgers bring him back. 486 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: And it's now it's gonna be a it's gonna be 487 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: a battle of is he gonna where's he gonna play? 488 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,719 Speaker 1: Is he gonna play again this year. Will the Dodgers 489 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: trade him? Will the team take him? What's it gonna 490 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: be for the money they own him? Because they owe 491 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: him over a hundred million dollars for this contract. Yeah, 492 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: I'm with you from the standpoint. I think his days 493 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 1: with the Dodgers are over. I do not believe that, 494 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 1: no matter what the outcome is, that they'll want him back. 495 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 1: And we've seen some players. I was at the All 496 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: Star Game in Denver. They didn't even want to mention him, 497 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: you know, or talk about him. So it seems as 498 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: if they're detached. And this is what people have to understand. 499 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: You know, there's a there's a conduct code, and you know, 500 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: uh that supersedes any legal thing jason, criminal or civil. 501 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: You know, like these leagues. You sign these things when 502 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: you sign these major league contracts, and they can look 503 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: at it and they don't need a conviction. We've seen 504 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,719 Speaker 1: in the NFL and some other leagues right where you 505 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 1: can be punished even though you didn't there were no 506 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 1: charges filed against you, or or or there or there 507 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 1: was no conviction, they can still uh act against you 508 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: because they don't feel that it fits their character and 509 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: what their code of conduct that they're looking for for 510 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 1: people who work in their league. I don't think his 511 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: career would be totally over, because there's always somebody who's 512 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: willing to give somebody a second chance. But this reminds 513 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: me of Donald Sterling. And what I mean by this 514 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: is Donald Sterling. If you remember, Jason was on a 515 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: private conversation that was taped, that was taped, right, but 516 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: once the cat was out of the bag and people 517 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: heard for themselves and him using the N word and 518 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,719 Speaker 1: calling Magic Johnson and whatnot. Once you heard that, you 519 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: can't unhear it, okay, And then Donald Sterling was forced 520 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: to sell. He made out like a bandit. He got 521 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: two billion dollars, but he was forced out. He couldn't 522 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: be an owner anymore. Right, despite never breaking any laws. 523 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 1: Donald Stirling didn't break any laws. He wasn't handcuffed, he 524 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 1: wasn't arrested, right, he didn't do anything that would have 525 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: gotten him in trouble legal lee, but the league still 526 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: acted against him. And that's what I think with Trevor Bauer. One, 527 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 1: we now know how he gets down out off the 528 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: field and behind closed doors. It's whether or not people 529 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: can accept that or feel good about this guy being 530 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: a teammate. And that's why I don't believe the Dodgers 531 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 1: in their organization. If there's one franchise that's family friendly 532 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: and about their tradition and history and class, it's the 533 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: Los Angeles Dodgers. So I don't think he fits in 534 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 1: with what they sell. Does that mean he can't go 535 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,400 Speaker 1: somewhere else a year from now? He won't pitch this year, 536 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: six weeks left, five weeks left to the season, so 537 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 1: it'll be about next year and whether or not somebody 538 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 1: will give him an opportunity. Joining us now on the 539 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: hot line from more on this the official legal analysts 540 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 1: here at Fox Sports Radio, CBS Sports Odyssey.

You're not busy enough, all right, Amy, 559 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: So so take us through here. We saw the results 560 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: of what happened yesterday with with Trevor Bauer. What's your 561 00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: big takeaway from the restraining order being lifted instant? Well, 562 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,360 Speaker 1: I think it was absolutely appropriate thing to do from 563 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: a legal perspective, because in order to get a restraining order, 564 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 1: you have to have a close relationship with the person 565 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: that you're trying to get it against. So that has 566 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,120 Speaker 1: to be a spouse, or you have to be dating them, 567 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: or it has to be a family member. These people 568 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: had sex on two occasions, so really it wasn't an 569 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 1: appropriate thing to do unless you could show that there 570 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: was a longstanding relationship. And think about it, when you're 571 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: trying to get a restraining order, you're showing that somebody's 572 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,439 Speaker 1: pursuing or stalking you for a while. So she just 573 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: wasn't able to meet that burden of proof that there 574 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: was actually a dating relationship and that he was a 575 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: threat to her. And if you looked at the text 576 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: messages of after everything occurred, you would see that Bauer 577 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: was calling her, but he was just asking you how 578 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: she was doing. He was trying to bring her groceries 579 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: and do other things. Now, whether it was genuine or not, 580 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: or he was just trying to do damage control, that's 581 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: another story. But there was no showing up at her 582 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: residence harassing her, threat her. So I think that was 583 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: the right decision. Where it comes into play for him 584 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: is that there was an additional judicial opinion that said 585 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: that the judge did not find that he did anything 586 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: that she objected to. Now, not objecting to something is 587 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: not the same as consenting to it, but that would 588 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: still be in his favor and he can now use 589 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: that if there were going to be a subsequent criminal case. Now, 590 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: this is the thing that I disagree with the judge. 591 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: If she was unconscious during this, How in the world 592 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: could she object if she was already passed out? And 593 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,959 Speaker 1: okay you need a law degree, Yeah, you would win 594 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: that argument. Yeah, I mean you're thinking like a lawyer. Now, Okay, 595 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: you're now arguing against what the judge is saying, and 596 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: you're you're making an argument for your stance. You're saying 597 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: you're wrong, and you were wrong because she was unconscious 598 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: and you can't consent when you're unconscious, unconscious, and I 599 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: should say you're exactly right. Like if I were on 600 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: the jury, I would agree with you over the judge. 601 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: So Amy as this, as this now goes forward, was 602 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: this was this if you talk about good and bad 603 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: days for either side, right, and that's kind of how 604 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: we do it. Here was yesterday would seemed like it 605 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 1: was a good day for Trevor Bauer with this. Does 606 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: this have any application in either Baseball's investigation or in 607 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: the Pasadena police investigation? I think it does more so 608 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: in the Pasadena police investigation. His judicial opinions carry a 609 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: lot of weight, I think with MLB, as Rob was saying, 610 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: you know, they are very strict with this kind of stuff, 611 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: and they've established a standard of zuotolerance very different from 612 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: the NFL, So I think the optics of it are 613 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: really important here and the fact that, like Rob said, 614 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: there are pictures. It's very damaging to him. And even 615 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: though if there were not pictures, I think he would 616 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: be playing because he was pretty much he wasn't exonerated 617 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: from you know, doing anything in aminal court, but they 618 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: hear but not getting the restraining order. It means that 619 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 1: there's an investigation going on, but there's been no determination. 620 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: So technically he's innocent until proven guilty, and he hasn't 621 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: been charged with anything. So if there were no pictures, 622 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: there were no video, then if he were another player, 623 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: maybe he'd be allowed to get back on the field 624 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: and play. But because of those pictures, I think the 625 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: optics are really challenging for the m Lea and Amy. 626 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: We saw this in the NFL with Ray Rice. If 627 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: you remember, Ray Rice got a two game suspension. The 628 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: NFL gave that penalty without seeing the video. Somehow, some way, 629 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: they claimed they couldn't get a video and it was 630 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: at a casino, so you know, other than the bathroom, 631 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: everything is covered by cameras, and they gave him a 632 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: two game suspension. The video comes out, and obviously he 633 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: was at the end of his career, so unlike he 634 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 1: was a big star in the league at that time. 635 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: But he never played again, you know, because people couldn't 636 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: unsee that video. And that's why I think Trevor Bauer 637 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: is damaged from those pictures. I would agree with you. 638 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit of a different situation 639 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: because it was a rough sex context and so she 640 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: was asking for certain things. But we know her argument 641 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: is that she says she was not asking to be 642 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: essentially punched or beaten up or anything like that to 643 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: that extent, but she wanted like choking and slapping. So 644 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 1: it's a little trickier because you have people on the 645 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: other side of it feeling sympathetic for him, and some don't. 646 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: Some do because they say, well, if she was asking 647 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: for certain things, how is he supposed to know how 648 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: far he's going to take it? And then other people argue, well, 649 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: he should know where the line is it not cross it. 650 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 1: Amy Dash our guest here on Fox Sports Radio, Jason 651 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: Smith Rob Parker, all right, Amy, really quick, you know, 652 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: you add up a lot of stuff this week on 653 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 1: the Deshaun Watson case. You had an interview with Tony Busby, 654 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: representing the women who are claiming that he had many 655 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: twenty two cases of sexual misconduct. The story this week 656 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 1: goes hey that one person, one of them, is being 657 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: investigated for trying to extort Deshaun Watson. Where do things 658 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: stand with this right now? Well, that's just an allegation 659 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: from Deshaun Watson's attorney. The FBI hasn't said anything, but 660 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: what we know is that Deshaun Watson's attorney confirmed what 661 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 1: Tony Buzzby said that yes, the FBI is investigating the 662 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 1: allegations against Watson. He came back and he said, when 663 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 1: we were initially contacted back in April by the FBI 664 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: and I let Watson be interviewed by them, it was 665 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: because they told us they were investigating one of Buzzby's 666 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: clients for trying to extort Watson. And so when I 667 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,479 Speaker 1: went back to Buzzby, he was actually historically laughing and 668 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 1: he said, absolutely not true to my knowledge, none of 669 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: my clients are being investigated and they're victims. However, we 670 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: don't know whether the FBI is in fact looking at 671 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: some of his clients as well as Watson, because the 672 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: FBI has a policy they will never either confirm or 673 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: deny that there's even an investigation, and so really anything 674 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: could be happening at this point. Well, she's on Twitter 675 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: at Amy dash TV. That is at Amy Dash TV, 676 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: Fishing League Landos here at Fox Sports Radio, CBS Sports 677 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,959 Speaker 1: Radio as well oughtyssee two time Emmy winner. And you know, Rob, 678 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 1: I think if I because I don't know what's happened, 679 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 1: but I think Amy's softball team is still undefeated in 680 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 1: her league that she's playing in New York? Is that true? Yes, 681 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,919 Speaker 1: I've been rallying for Jason to be able to come 682 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,359 Speaker 1: do play by play for these games because they're more 683 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 1: exciting than me. Thank you for the Mets, but wow, 684 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 1: but we're undefeated. And what's most crushing about it? We 685 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: actually had a game on Wednesday and we blew the 686 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: team out of the water. But I'm not going to 687 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: be there next week for the championship game. Wow, I'm 688 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 1: going away with my family and I am devastated about that. 689 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,800 Speaker 1: But we better win. Amy. Where do you guys play? 690 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,800 Speaker 1: What do you play? We play in New York? Listen, 691 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: listen if I give out the address, Rob Okay, I'm 692 00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: gonna have fans lined up. Okay, people aren't going to 693 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 1: be able to get parking spots who actually played for 694 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,840 Speaker 1: the team, who actually played Because I used to play 695 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 1: in the New York Press Softball League in Central Park 696 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: back in the eighties. Yes, it was great and we 697 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,879 Speaker 1: played the Times and the Post. Everybody had teams. It 698 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 1: was awesome. That was one of one of my shining 699 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,399 Speaker 1: moments was playing in the New York Press Softball League. 700 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 1: So I thought, you guys might play in Central Park. 701 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 1: Isn't it a lot of fun though, to be able 702 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,320 Speaker 1: to get out there. And I mean, listen, we're older. 703 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: We're not in our twenties anymore. I'll say that much. 704 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,319 Speaker 1: I'm not going to reveal how old we are. But 705 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 1: there's a lot of injuries now because people have the 706 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 1: mindset that they're like still twelve fifteen years old. And 707 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 1: so there was one girl who tried to slide into 708 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 1: third and she broke her leg just from sliding. So 709 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,719 Speaker 1: it's like every week we've got three four people on 710 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: the sidelines because we all have that fighting spirit, but 711 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: just physically, we can't do it anymore, no doubt. Amy, 712 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: Thank you, Amy, thanks a lot. I'm sorry you're gonna 713 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 1: miss the championship game, but I'm sure they'll do it. 714 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:05,240 Speaker 1: They'll do fine, all right, thanks guys. Or you're losing, 715 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: you just say I wasn't there and and and really 716 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: we would have won if I was there, So you 717 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: have both both arguments. I can. I'd say I'm like 718 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 1: middle tier of the caliber of players that we have. Well, 719 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: at least you're still getting out there. That sounds good. 720 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 1: Have a great vacation, Amy guys here all right, always 721 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,239 Speaker 1: great stuff for Ami Dutch.

And in my day, if 724 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: somebody broke their leg, they just used that part of 725 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: the leg for third base, you know what I mean, Like, 726 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 1: if you can't move to stand there, we'll tag you 727 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 1: as we go by third base.

But fifty years old, does he get 755 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 1: it or he doesn't get it? I'm gonna use this 756 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 1: as motivation next year. You just watch. So we have 757 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,879 Speaker 1: that story. It's a really it's a pretty interesting one. 758 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 1: And he has fired up about it, at least on 759 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 1: social media, and you know that means Lebron is fired up. 760 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,600 Speaker 1: But when you want to talk about fired up, Rob, 761 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 1: we had a bunch of training camp fights yesterday in 762 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,799 Speaker 1: the National Football League, and many of them disagreeing with 763 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 1: one of your takes, and guys go at it. So, 764 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 1: I mean, it's really really that's what it is. That's 765 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 1: what it was, man. Yeah, I'm the fuel behind it. Right. 766 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 1: Oh didn't you hear Rob Parker on the odd couple yesterday? 767 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: I agree with him? No, I had disagree with him. 768 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 1: Let's fight. The big one was between Antonio Brown and 769 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 1: Jackson at a joint practice between the Bucks and the Titans. 770 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 1: And look, joint practices are always more gassed up than 771 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,359 Speaker 1: preseason games are. It's hot. You know you've been hitting 772 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: somebody for a long time. There's a lot of smack 773 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 1: talk going on. We see this Antonio Brown is not 774 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 1: going to be disciplined by the NFL, even though, according 775 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:25,759 Speaker 1: to reports during this disagreement, he ripped off Chris Jackson's 776 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 1: helmet and got in a pretty clean punch, a pretty 777 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:33,399 Speaker 1: clean right hand to the jaw at practice yesterday before 778 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 1: they wound up getting broken up. And this is a 779 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: case Robin everyone, where's video? Where's video? Well, there's pictures, 780 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 1: it's training camp, and you know, video is not something 781 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,359 Speaker 1: that you can know you're always allowed to have. If 782 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 1: there was that clear cut video of what happened, I 783 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 1: think the NFL would have no choice but to say, 784 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 1: you know what, Antonio Brown, where it's a preseason game 785 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,319 Speaker 1: or something else, you're gonna get suspended because you rip 786 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,799 Speaker 1: a guy's helmet off and get a clean punch at him. Yeah, 787 00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,479 Speaker 1: that's kind of a suspension. But look, the fella doesn't 788 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,080 Speaker 1: want to do anything unless they absolutely have to. So, oh, well, 789 00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,920 Speaker 1: you know this kind of happened, and there's picture. Yeah, 790 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,719 Speaker 1: we're fine, let's just bygones, be bygones. Let him go 791 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 1: back to practice. But if there was a Sunday night 792 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,160 Speaker 1: football and the whole country was watching, it would be different, 793 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 1: you know that. Yeah, and and especially at Tonio Brown, 794 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 1: who really needs to be a guy that kind of 795 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,280 Speaker 1: does the right thing to stay in the NFL's good graces, 796 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 1: and here he is ripping a guy's helmet off and 797 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 1: landing a punch to his face. I mean, that's that. 798 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 1: That's something that we talk about for a week, and 799 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,360 Speaker 1: this is does he have to get suspended for the season? 800 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's like the equipment almost the 801 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 1: equivalent to the Miles Garrett play when he you know, 802 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 1: he rips off Mason Rudolph's helmet and then tries to 803 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,279 Speaker 1: hit him with it. Yeah. But the the only thing 804 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 1: is these guys, like you know, you would think so, hey, 805 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 1: you want to be on your best behavior and your 806 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 1: p's and q's and all that, it just doesn't work 807 00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 1: like that. Guys playing football they don't think about those things. 808 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:03,279 Speaker 1: They just do what comes instinctively to them. Jason, you 809 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: know what I mean, Otherwise you would you wouldn't you 810 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,279 Speaker 1: wouldn't be involved in a fight, you know what I mean, 811 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 1: given what's happened in your career and how you're trying 812 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,839 Speaker 1: to rebuild it and stick around, and you don't want 813 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,000 Speaker 1: to be a distraction or cause any problems, but that's 814 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,439 Speaker 1: just not the way guys are wired. It's just it's 815 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: not And so they're going to respond and act the 816 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,440 Speaker 1: way that they do, no matter what is out in 817 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 1: front of them or what's happened in the past, you know, 818 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,800 Speaker 1: and especially when you have such a hot button player 819 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,840 Speaker 1: like Antonio Brown, who getting back to the NFL was 820 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,239 Speaker 1: a big deal. Boy, should they let him back? When 821 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,239 Speaker 1: they did? Did? He did? He did? He wind up 822 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,280 Speaker 1: doing enough in the NFL's eyes and people. I always 823 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,160 Speaker 1: knew he would get back to the NFL. When he 824 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,920 Speaker 1: was cut byt of Raiders, everybody's like, Oh, that's it, 825 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 1: he's done, He'll never play again. And the Patriots signed 826 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 1: him two hours later. You know what. I was like, Dude, 827 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 1: that guy's way too talented not to be in the league. Yeah, 828 00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,040 Speaker 1: and look, and he's somebody that last year, the last 829 00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,839 Speaker 1: half of the year, really was their best receiver. He's 830 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,359 Speaker 1: the most dependable guy they had. He was catching six 831 00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 1: passes a week. Took him a bit to get back 832 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,200 Speaker 1: into it. They bring him back there, and they bring 833 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 1: everybody back this year for Tampa. But you see this 834 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,799 Speaker 1: and you go, man, I mean, just think about what 835 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:15,960 Speaker 1: it is what it means for there to be video 836 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 1: of something that you can see that that can get 837 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:23,320 Speaker 1: splashed all over and suddenly the story becomes extremely different. 838 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:27,879 Speaker 1: And that's this case right here. So Antonio Brown who 839 00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,000 Speaker 1: was thrown out of practice, now we have to kind 840 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,360 Speaker 1: of wait and see exactly what winds it. Maybe the 841 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,400 Speaker 1: Bucks say something, maybe they don't. I'm sure he'll be 842 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 1: back in practice today and hey, all right here we are. 843 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 1: But coming up next, Lebron James is really upset with 844 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:45,440 Speaker 1: Rob Parker. I'm sorry, Lebron. Were you one of the 845 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,320 Speaker 1: people that said that Lebron is it one of the 846 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:49,759 Speaker 1: best players in the game anymore? I've been saying it 847 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,400 Speaker 1: for a long time, But yes, he's not. Did you 848 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,120 Speaker 1: see last year in the playoffs? You remember what happened 849 00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:56,880 Speaker 1: in the playoffs when Ad went down and they got 850 00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 1: run out of the building. But of sons, he's not 851 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,120 Speaker 1: that he can't lead a team, but he needs Anthony 852 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:07,480 Speaker 1: Davis desperately. If a d was healthy, things would have 853 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,759 Speaker 1: been different for the Lakers and the playoffs. Like like, 854 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:13,440 Speaker 1: I don't know that Lebron all Lebron and a D. 855 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,320 Speaker 1: But really you can see that, yeah, he's not quite 856 00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:21,480 Speaker 1: that guy anymore. And when there's a big canvassing of 857 00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,120 Speaker 1: scouts and gms across the league and none of them 858 00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 1: say he's the best player in the league anymore, Oh, 859 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,480 Speaker 1: he's gonna get a little upset about that. And Lebron 860 00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 1: James was extremely upset about that. No votes for an 861 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:37,839 Speaker 1: ESPN poll from scouts and personnel around the league who 862 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 1: the best player in the NBA is. Who did get 863 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,719 Speaker 1: the votes and what was Lebron's reaction? We got that 864 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 1: coming up next right here, Jason Smith Rob Parker in 865 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 1: for Dan Patrick today.
