14

00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: in baseball.

19
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:10,800

Speaker 1: buying showy so our lead this hour, get back to

43
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: the football conversation. But our lead this hour from baseball.

44
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: It's about Motown, but it's from the Grapefruit League there, Florida,

45
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: where the Sleeping Giant.

46
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: Well not really a sleeping Giant.

47
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: He's the Cy Young Award, been highly decorated last couple

48
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: of years. The Tarik schoolbl has made some headlines here

49
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: the Tigers ace discussing his reaction his reaction to trade

50
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: rumors as he enters his lame doc season in Detroit.

51
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: Trek Scooble in a contract year. I don't know if

52
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: he saw this, Maybe it was not on your radar.

53
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: Perhaps not so. Terrek scoobl gave a boilerplate response and

54
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: he said, well, you know, it's not something I can control.

55
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: All the standard cliches from sportscliche dot com. And then

56
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: you know, I said, his family would ask him about that.

57
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: That is standard chow is what it is. And still

58
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: the murmurs continue that the Tigers are light years away

59
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: from any kind of contractual agreement with School, who is

60
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: apparently hell bent on going to the market and putting

61
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: himself up there on the auctioning block. So that is

62
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: a good jumping off point, let us discuss the question

63
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: for the class. Give me your sense of how this

64
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: Trek Schouogel contract drama o rama plays out in Detroit

65
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: as we are still a few weeks away from the

66
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: real baseball season getting anyway. So my observations, I've got

67
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: Grand Canyon, party sized and hedge fun hotshots, and we

68
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are

69
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: going to be.

70
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 2: Footloose and fancy free, is what we're going to be.

71
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: So number.

72
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: As we sink our teeth into this. So Number One,

73
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: we do the show. We'd like to say, we're about

74
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: to show right now. We were about today's show, We're

75
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: about tomorrow show. So we do the show today and

76
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: today there is a zero a bagel percent chance that

77
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: school bols trading again right now today. Now, if you

78
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: want me to project, I'm more than happy to do that.

79
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: The Tigers are growling and roaring. And if you have

80
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: paid any attention to the outlook the forecast for baseball

81
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: while Toronto was in the World Series and the Blue

82
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: Jays are expected to be good again, the Yankees always

83
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: get a certain.

84
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 2: Level of hype.

85
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: The Tigers, you know, they getting They're getting some love

86
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: there and the Mariners as well. But the Tigers, they're

87
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: pretty high up there, and everyone's kind of sipping that

88
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: Motor City Kitty kool aid.

89
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 2: And I don't know if that's a good idea, Probably not,

90
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: Probably not.

91
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: Now, the will of beast in the room, the will

92
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: the beast in the room, the trip to the land

93
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: of the cacti and the sand because there is a

94
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: gap the size of the Grand Canyon here. And a

95
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: hummingbird zipped by my ear the other day, whispering that

96
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: Derek Scoogle wants.

97
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 2: Four one hundred million dollars alleged late.

98
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: The Tigers, of course, not clutching their their pearls. They're

99
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: clutching their wallet. And supposedly, at one point, I'm not

100
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: sure this is still the case. At one point there

101
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: was a two hundred and fifty million dollars separation. And

102
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: that's not rounding numbers up or down. That's two hundred

103
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: and fifty million. Now the team, the Tigers, owned by

104
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: what we call old pizza money. Old pizza money Mike

105
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: Gillich died years ago and he left.

106
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 2: The team to his family.

107
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: And let's just say they're not lighting they're not lighting

108
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 1: cigars with one hundred dollars bills.

109
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 2: They're not.

110
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: They're running this more like a family hardware store, and

111
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: they're just kind of keeping the thing going and all that.

112
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: If they're winning in July, if there's no sting, they're

113
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: playing good baseball in July, then school will ride this

114
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: thing out. That's that's he's untouchable. However, if they start

115
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: floundering like a fish out of water, the Tigers then

116
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: will revisit us, and the Malarods will flip to minus

117
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: one ninety that his ass is out of town. His

118
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: ass has grassed sixty five percent chance. If they're not

119
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: getting it done midway through the season, now you can

120
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: He said, well, I don't know what you're talking about,

121
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: but you cannot be caught. As the Angels were when

122
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: they had sho Hee Otani.

123
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: They were a faux contender.

124
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: His last year in Anaheim at around the trade deadline,

125
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: and there were multiple teams that wanted Otani, and Ardie

126
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: Marino loved all that money they've gotten from the Japanese businesses,

127
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: so they stood there and they kept they kept Otani,

128
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: and they got caught with their pants around their ankles

129
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: and didn't make the move. So you'd rather get something.

130
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: If you're not willing to pay the player. You'd rather

131
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: get something, even if it's an empty, empty backpack.

132
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: You did something.

133
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: But right now it's a game of bach bach bach chicken.

134
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: It's leverage chicken. I don't even know if that's real chicken.

135
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: As long as Detroit is roaring, and then they'll stay.

136
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: But a bad couple of weeks in June, the for

137
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: sale sign goes up faster than if you were you

138
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: remember back in.

139
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: Eight, the foreclosure crisis of eight.

140
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: Now page two to Tampa, to Tampa, we go the

141
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: Grapefruit League.

142
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: We stay in the Great Fruit League Spring training.

143
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: Big story here today involving the New York Yankees and

144
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: slugger Jean Carlo. Jean Carlos Stanton went viral. Now did

145
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: he hit a six hundred foot home run? No, he's

146
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: as large as a barge. And Stanton, the three hundred

147
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: million dollar big bopper, announced that he is in such

148
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: bad shape. How bad is it? John Carlos Stanton claims

149
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: that he cannot open a bag of chips because of

150
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: the elbow pain that he's got. Cannot open a bag

151
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: of chips. I know, I know, Oh MG, ohmg, I

152
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: am in better condition than John Carlos Stanton. I should

153
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: be playing for the New York Yankees. Well, Stanton says

154
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 1: he's determined to play the full season.

155
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 2: I'm sure that's going to happen, unless it's not. So.

156
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: The question on this one, what is Yankee slugger John

157
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: Carlo Stanton looking to accomplish? What do you think he's

158
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: looking to accomplish by announcing that he's unable to open

159
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: a bag of delicious chips? So it sounds like he's

160
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: auditioning for a leading role in a Lifetime movie, to

161
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: me go up to Vermont in a hall Mark Lifetime

162
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: movies that make those up in my mind. But John

163
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: Carlos Stanton, who is If you look at him from afar,

164
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: he's built like a Greek god, carved out of just

165
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: pure granted, pure granted.

166
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 2: John Carlos Stanton.

167
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: And now he claims he can't even open a bag

168
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: of chips because his elbows are screaming and barking and

169
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: all that is. You're looking for a purple heart. They

170
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: don't give those out in baseball. You gotta be in

171
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: the military for that. They don't give those out in baseball. Now,

172
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: I would tell you right now, I got advice. I'm

173
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 1: gonna help out the Red Sox. I'm gonna help out

174
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays. I got the Orioles and the Rays.

175
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: I got you all those American Leagueese teams. All right,

176
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: let me help you out. All right, you're facing the Yankees.

177
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: Stanton is digging into the batter's box.

178
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: What do you do?

179
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: You throw a fastball, you throw a curveball, change up slider.

180
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: What do you do? Here's what you go props. You

181
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 2: go to props.

182
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: You pull out of your back pocket a small bag,

183
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 1: a small bag of chips, and if those don't work,

184
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: you get the party size bag of sour cream and

185
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: onion ruffles. And gian Carlo will say.

186
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I can't do it.

187
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: He will turn into creamy goodness in a puddle. So,

188
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: by the way he is he also like what is

189
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: he a caveman?

190
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: Or something like?

191
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: Why is he trying to open the bag with his elbows?

192
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: Aren't you supposed to use your your hands? Like not

193
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: how that works. It's a true American tragedy. So by

194
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: announcing he plans on playing all season, gian Carlo, I

195
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: guess he wants you and I to believe that he's

196
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: a modern day baseball Rambo playing through pain.

197
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: And yeah, so if if you can't.

198
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 1: Handle opening up a snack bag, how does he pass

199
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: a physical?

200
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 2: Like serious question?

201
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I'm sure in the offseason he's his snug

202
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 1: as a bug and he's relaxing and all that stuff.

203
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: When you go to the season, don't you have to

204
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,079
Speaker 1: take a physical to play? You're selling your boy to

205
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: eat when you're a pro athlete. It's a little different

206
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: than the brothels in the Vada, but you're selling your body.

207
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 2: That's what you're doing, you know. And so there you go.

208
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: The only way that he plays a full season, we've

209
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 1: determined here is on the rookie level of MLB the show.

210
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 2: And then he's got a shot.

211
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: And what he needs is the wisdom of Lou Holtz,

212
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: who said famously that eighty percent of the people don't

213
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: care about your problems, and the other twenty percent are glad.

214
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 2: You have them, which is spot on, right.

215
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: Do you really care that gian Carlos Stanton is bitching

216
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: because he can't open a bag of chips? Come on,

217
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: and there's people that hate the Yankees, They're like, oh,

218
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: that's great, so good and channel the Nike the Nike Way,

219
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: their slogan, just do it.

220
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 2: Just do it.

221
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: Put the chips down, see ball, hit ball, kaboom, kaboom, kaboom,

222
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: kaboom kaboom. Right, final point to the labor talks in

223
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: baseball always a fun topic to the labor talks. So

224
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: there has been a grassroots movement that is underway here.

225
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 2: People say we need a boycott baseball. It's not right,

226
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 2: it's not fair. We can we as fans if there's

227
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:11,479
Speaker 2: a message.

228
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: So as the season draws closer, with spring training underway,

229
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 1: World Baseball class is coming up. This group, this group,

230
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: they are telling you, and they're telling me that there's

231
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 1: only eight teams that have any kind of chance of

232
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: contending for the World Series.

233
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 2: Eight teams.

234
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: There's thirty teams in baseball, which means, if my math

235
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: is correct, twenty two other baseball teams are essentially the

236
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: Washington Generals, not the Nationals, although they are they might

237
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: as well be called the Washington Generals.

238
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 2: But that's it.

239
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: So this argument is the game is broken, competitive balance

240
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: is dead.

241
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 2: We need parody.

242
00:13:54,400 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: We need a world where the Las Vegas Athletics, I

243
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: guess they're in Sacra the Sacramento Athletics have.

244
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 2: A chance to win, you know, cue the violins and

245
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 2: all that.

246
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: So question, tell me what stands out to you about

247
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: this grassroots campaign here. You know, Major League Baseball complaints

248
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: about the game being broken because of the lack of parody,

249
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: the few teams that have a chance to win, so

250
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: the game is broken. Chorus is this is the same

251
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: dusty vinyl record that baseball owners have been spinning like

252
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: DJs for thirty plus years. Every single time labor talks

253
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: are on the horizon. You get the funeral potatoes, you

254
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: get the funeral music, and you have a party if

255
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: you're the owner.

256
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 3: Baseball is dying. Oh by it's damn yeah.

257
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: And there are people, they're called dumb people who have

258
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: been fighting the baseball is dead. They've been yelling baseball

259
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: is dead, dying on that mountain for years since I

260
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: was a kid.

261
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: I did some shows on this years ago. But we

262
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 2: went back and looked, and you could.

263
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: Go through the archives of newspapers going back to the

264
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: eighteen late eighteen hundreds.

265
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 2: There were people.

266
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: There was a famous column written by somebody from northern California,

267
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: long dead, long dead, who traveled to the east coast

268
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: to watch the sport of baseball, and determined in the

269
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: late eighteen hundreds that baseball was no longer popular, that

270
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: it would not last that long, and wrote a whole

271
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: column about it. And here we are over well over

272
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: one hundred years after that, one hundred and twenty something

273
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: years and still going, still going. But the baseball dying.

274
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: That caucus is a very loud, voisterous caucus.

275
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 3: It is competitive balances crumbling. Hide the women, hide the.

276
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: Children, right, And this is often the default setting of

277
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: the Major League Baseball owners, the robber barons.

278
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 2: This is their setting.

279
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: It's the card they pull from the bottom of the

280
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: deck whenever.

281
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 2: The labor negotiations are no way.

282
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: Now, Scott Boris told me this years ago, and he's

283
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: still mentioned this from time to time. He correctly has

284
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: jabbed at the owners over the years. The most powerful

285
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: man in baseball, Scott Borrows that if the sport is

286
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: in such a sinkhole financially, if you believe that to.

287
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 2: Be true, If you.

288
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: Believe that to be true, it's like the Flat Earth society,

289
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: if you believe the Earth is.

290
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: Flat, and why are certain things the way they are?

291
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: But if you're someone that thinks the sport of baseball

292
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: is in a sinkhole financially. Why aren't owners selling at

293
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: clearance prices? Why are the hedge fund hotshots, the hedge

294
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: fund bros scratching and calonging to get in before anyone

295
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: buys the team. You know how this works if you're

296
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: gonna buy an investment that big.

297
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 2: If you're one of the people that's qualified to buy

298
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 2: a baseball.

299
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: Team, you go in there and you have your team

300
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: of bean counters and they crack open the books and

301
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: they look at the finances and they go over all

302
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: the numbers. So you're a prospective owner of a big

303
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: league baseball team and you get to play peek a

304
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: boo with the spreadsheets before buying the team, and they

305
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: see what what do they see? They see black ink,

306
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: They don't see red ink. There's not ready. There's black ink.

307
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: Now the dirty little secret here. And baseball owners they

308
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: want you to be on the side of campaigning for them.

309
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 1: But owning an MLB team is a country club membership

310
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: that prints money. And Artie Morino is a great example.

311
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: He's incompetent, he doesn't know what he's doing. He's a

312
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: complete loser as an owner, but he makes money. The

313
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: Angels make money, and he's gonna make more money by

314
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: not putting certain games on spring training on TV. No

315
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: games are on TV, and announcing that the moms of

316
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: Orange County are the fans of the Angels don't care

317
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: about winning because they're just moms and they just want

318
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: to have a place to take their kids and eat

319
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: hot dogs and popcorn and nachos.

320
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 2: And then watch the game and then go home. And

321
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 2: they don't care who wins. That's already.

322
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: It's a country club membership, you know, print money, passive income.

323
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: You get subsidized by the taxpayers because politicians want free

324
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: season tickets and jackets and all that stuff.

325
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 2: So what a what a hustle owning a sports team.

326
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: That's why it was lining up to do it. And

327
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. This whole conversation is irrelevant. The players

328
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: are not going to swallow a salary cap. They're not

329
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: unless they see the books. The owners won't allow them

330
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: to see the books, so that's not going to happen.

331
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 2: So forget about it.

332
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: And you know that's it, and we can, you know,

333
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: have this merry go round around the carousel of hypocrisy

334
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: and the other thing people have discounted here is if

335
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: you ever got to that point where they opened up

336
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: the books and the players said, okay, we'll get to

337
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: a salary cap and I don't think it'll happen in

338
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: my lifetime. At some point, eventually it will happen, but

339
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: in my lifetime won't happen. The players can say, okay,

340
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: we got to get rid of the arbitration system. So

341
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 1: then the small market teams are screwed again because nobody

342
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: wants to play there, so they're they're kicked in the

343
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: nuts and the player's gonna make.

344
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 2: Some other means. But that's not gonna happen anyway, because.

345
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: Imagine how much money the Pittsburgh Pirates are making, and

346
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 1: the Athletics and these suckbag teams, the Rockies that don't

347
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: even try to win, and they're just making money hand

348
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 1: over fist, and they're they're crying poverty.

349
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 2: Let's say the players agreed, you know what we're gonna

350
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 2: We're gonna do the sour gap. Let us see the books.

351
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna see the books and they're gonna psych I

352

363

Speaker 2: It's like a serendipitous moment.

364

00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: break up here in the tabloids. If you saw this

407
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: celebrity breakup, there's all over the tabloids. Everyone's said yapping

408
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: about that.

409
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 2: I was just curious about that the other day. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

410
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 2: it's it's all over TMZ. They've all got it. So

Speaker 1: I guess you're moving back to Tennessee and yeah, so I.

413
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 2: Hope everything works out for both of them. We loved

414
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 2: you both.

415
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: You know. Normally, what I'm my experience with this, and

416
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 1: I've done this a long time. If a couple listens

417
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: to a radio show and then they get divorced or

418
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: they were engaged and they end up no longer engaged,

419
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: normally both of them stopped listening, or at least one

420
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: of them completely stops listening. Uh, sometimes you might keep one,

421
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: you might keep one.

422
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens with that. There was a

423
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 2: there was a couple in Kentucky.

424
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: They were huge fans of the show and like next

425
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: level super fans of the show, and then they I

426
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: didn't hear from them for a while, and then I

427
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: emailed and said everything, Okay, I thought maybe one of

428
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: them had died or something like that, and as yeah,

429
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: we got divorced.

430
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 2: Oh, I say, okay, thoughts to you. Whenever anyone just disappears,

431
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 2: I'm like, did you die?

432
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 6: Yeah?

433
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: And unfortunately on this shift oftentimes they did die.

434
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 2: Which is which is unfortunate. Which is unfortunate, but that

435
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 2: is the the way it goes. Uh not a Burner says.

436
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: The Fox Sports app just revealed an AI Colin Cowherd

437
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,959
Speaker 1: option for users. I asked my AI Ben Mahller about

438
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, and I couldn't.

439
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: Believe what I heard.

440
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I see what you're doing there, some of the

441
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: semi messages, my buddy Jay semi a messages. I guess

442
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: they're doing some AI cowhard things like oh, it's good

443
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 1: for them. But right now AI, they're listening to everything.

444
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: There's a whole archive of stuff that we've done that

445
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: is in AI, like my whole body of work.

446
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 2: They're just taking and doing what they want with their

447
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 2: on AI.

448
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: DJ spin Patrick in San Diego. He wants us to

Speaker 1: in a couple minutes. But we have some calls. I'm

451
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: taking a call in a while. Bad job by us.

452
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:26,919

453
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:28,520

00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 1: Patriots would have won the super Bowl.

458
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 2: But they didn't.

459
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 6: You know, Yeah, well you got that right. I had

460
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 6: a big bet day I got. I put money on

461
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 6: them at the Encore in Boston at plus fourteen hundred

462
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 6: back and no way back in September, and I would

463
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 6: have made a twenty dollars. I would have made twenty

464
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 6: eight hundreds.

465
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 2: So did you have you did you head your bet

466
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 2: at all?

467
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: Did you think about hedging your bet and try to

468
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 1: get a little bit of money and ensure that you

469
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: were going to win that?

470
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 6: Yes, that's something I do every year. I put twenty

471

00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 2: That was an amazing team, the old Boston Garden.

480
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 4: Right.

481
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,200

Speaker 1: you've been around, You've seen this. You saw back when

483
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: Celtics played at the Boston Guard. You remember read our Bach.

484
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: He would make the locker room, there was always the

485
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: visiting locker room was small. They turned the heat on,

486
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: they they turned the hot water. Now, what do you

487
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: think as a guy like Kevin, you see these players

488
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: today complaining about childcare, complaining about the quality of the

489
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: food and the cafeteria, the toilets in the in the

490
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: locker room, what do you think as an old timer

491
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: like that?

492
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 2: What do you think? There?

493
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:18,719
Speaker 6: Well, I'm back was he was alleged and first of

494
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 6: all too and it goes way back to the days

495
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 6: of Bill Russell and Casey Jones and Sam Jones and

496
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 6: when the Celtics started and when they because of the prejudice,

497
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 6: they would he would not have his team stay at

498
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 6: a hotel. And he was a genius.

499
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 2: He always well he would.

500
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: They wouldn't say it because there was segregation right back

501
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: in the day.

502
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what.

503
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 6: Even if Bill Russell had trouble buying a home and

504
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 6: reading way back in sixty nine, No, nobody really cared

505
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 6: about No.

506
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: But by my point, by my point though is though

507
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: Kevin like the attitudes like people dealt with the players

508
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: had to deal with the nonsense, right and now now

509
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 1: they're the player of today are like, ah, this is

510
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 1: not right.

511
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 2: We were not treated like VIPs. It's not right.

512
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 6: So well, you know, the old Boston Garden had the

513
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 6: big tank eurinos, there were only six men's bedrooms bathrooms.

514
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 7: And.

515
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 6: He did know that two were the teams. He'd turn

516
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,719
Speaker 6: up the heat and you know, against the Lakers and

517
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 6: all that kind of stuff. He was a genius. And

518
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 6: Johnny Mouse the announcer, and he'd be rolling over in

519
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 6: his grave right now with the NBA with cheerleaders and

520
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 6: the way the Celtics run now and that kind of stuff.

521
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 6: But you know, those were the great old days and

522
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 6: now I am an old time I'm retired Pharmasst. Forty

00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 8: the con Havid Yard. I appreciate that other call giving

618
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 8: you a little bit of history about the Celtics Red

619
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 8: hour back. You know, people with the questions about the

620
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 8: locker room, turn the heat up, you know, and all

621
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 8: these different things. They probably did go on to help

622
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 8: the Celtics get those eleven championships, right with Bill Russell

623
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 8: nine as a player, two as a player coach, and

624
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 8: Red Aurbach or maybe some of the things that flatly shady,

625
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 8: you know in terms of the competitive advantage. But he

626
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 8: did hire the first African American coach head coaching team sports,

627
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 8: mister Bill Russell. So there's a lot of progress that

628
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 8: was made there. Event we started with the locker rooms,

629
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 8: did we not? What is going on in Pittsburgh? Five

630
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 8: stalls for an entire battalion and entire football team. Come on,

631
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 8: Pittsburgh Steelers, all right? I mean, yeah, come.

632
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: On, Andre, if you get Andre, you know, nobody beats

633
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: the whiz. But it'll go out in the bushes, you

634
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:18,239
Speaker 1: know you can.

635
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 2: There were men. You don't need a toilet, you go

636
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 2: out in the bushes. You know, go ahead, sure, and.

637
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 8: When they're playing the Ravens here for that week. You know,

638
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 8: I imagine a lot of those guys they get to

639
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 8: inter they they don't take a shower, they don't say

640
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 8: they do all these things like they're in boot camp.

641
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 8: But I get all of that, But well, it isn't.

642
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 2: It isn't the story.

643
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: You know, we've worked through some NFL guys here that's

644
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: during the game and the heat of battle was sometimes

645
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the pile, you just you know,

646
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: you gotta go, you go. You know, that's what you

647
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: do right in your pants right there.

648
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 8: I don't know about all that, okay, but maybe if

649
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 8: they had an extra stall, we could we could mitigate

650
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,239
Speaker 8: some of those things. The second thing that we need

651
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 8: to get straightened out here, Okay, I got no problem

652
00:33:56,200 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 8: with the three or four wonderful ladies at Fox Sports Radio.

653
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 8: You know they have they have a restroom at the

656
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,960

657
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 8: got to have, right, we need the surplus value that

658
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,760
Speaker 8: the Ben Mallie Show is bringing in. We can't compromise that, Okay,

659
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 8: So we have to invest so that we can get

660
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 8: the better with the higher return labor and capitol. Here

661
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,680

00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 8: labor power as what they need.

674
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,880

Speaker 1: on urinal cakes must be a lot, right are They

676
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:10,480

Speaker 2: It's total dollar. How about that? To the third degree,

758
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 2: this is one big vent gets Grail.

759
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 7: Kobolo bo Nick celebrated his twenty sixth birthday on Wednesday,

760
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 7: which led to social media trolls pointing out how he's

761
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 7: only played two years but is already the age of

762
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 7: a season veteran. Then, how big of a deal is

763
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 7: Knicks being older than the other quarterbacks in his draft class?

764
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 2: Well, it doesn't.

765
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: You're really worried about your thirty seven and thirty eight now,

766
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 1: you know.

767
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 2: It's that famous quote, yesterday's history. Tomorrow is a mystery.

768
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 2: Today's a gift. Just enjoyed today. And if he's good,

769
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:39,439
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. You can plan.

770
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 1: You cannot plan on these guys playing for fifteen years.

771
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 2: It always it is like ridiculous to me, And when

772
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,959
Speaker 2: it happens, it's it's breaking the norm.

773
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 1: If Lebronco's got six good years out of Bowknicks, that

774
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 1: should be happy.

775
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 7: Next, we've talked about Lebron James returning to the Cavaliers,

776
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 7: but it's now being reported that the Knicks are a

777
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 7: potential free agent destination for Lebron. But do you think

778
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 7: there is any chance that Lebron lands somewhere other than Cleveland?

779
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: Well, not in New York. He's avoided New York like Anthrax.

780
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to play for Dolan. Dolan's still there,

781
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: so I don't buy that. It's either Cleveland. Maybe Miami,

782
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: but he hates pat Riley too, so it's Cleveland.
