Speaker 3: Miami, Ohio.

13
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: In a must win situation, it feels like against SMU

14
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 2: Howard over UNBC last night in Texas over NC State,

15
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: looks like we have a verbal agreement maybe with the WNBA,

16
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: nothing paper wise, but they're pretty close to getting This

17
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: season finally started a little bit late Venezuela over the

18
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: United States three to two. And in case you don't

19
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: follow this closely, or maybe you just started following this closely,

20
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: the WBC doesn't come back until twenty thirty, and there'll

21
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 2: be a lot of conversation, a lot of dialogue about, hey,

22
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: why don't we attach this to the All Star weekend.

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: I get it, but keep in mind, this isn't till

24
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: twenty thirty. You still have the Olympics in there, and

25
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: the momentum that you have now is maybe just as

26
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: springboard for the upcoming season. That's the way I'm looking

27
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 2: at it, because I don't know if Bryce Harper is

28
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 2: going to be around in four years for his nineteenth

29
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: year in the bigs. Know certain players who's going to

30
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: be around in four more years. You like the rivalries.

31
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 2: But it really started, you know, because I'd watched the WBC.

32
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: I went to the WBC when it first started, but

33
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: it kind of became bigger. Kind of its coming out

34
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: party was when Shoheu Tani struck out Bryce or Mike

35
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: Trout twenty twenty three.

36
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: That was it.

37
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 3: I mean, that's where it was like.

38
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: Okay, you got to see two of the best players,

39
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: and here's Otani pitching against Mike Trout and striking him ount.

40
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: But it was fun last night. I enjoyed most of this.

41
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: It didn't matter who was playing. I felt like I

42
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: was tuned in because I saw players, certainly with the

43
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: other countries, who really really cared. And maybe it's not

44
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 2: fair to label the United States as did they really

45
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: care or non caring. I just know they didn't care

46
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: or show they cared as much as some of these

47
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: other countries. And you saw that with Venezuela. This was

48
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: more than just winning the WBC, far more than that.

49
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: All righty, pull question from hour one, seton and what

50
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: are we going with an hour two?

51
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got up right now hour one we have

52
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 4: Should the World Baseball Classic stay in the preseason or

53
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 4: move to the All Star break? Okay, right now I'm

54
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 4: calling up. Let me dial up these results quickly.

55
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you. Right now.

56
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 4: People have it staying in the preseason, but it's close.

57
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 4: It's about a sixty four.

58
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: I'm fine with it staying in spring training. I don't

59
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 2: want my players like it is an All Star break.

60
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: And if you go to the All Star Game and

61
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: it feels like it's a relaxing period, the All Star

62
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 2: Game is not really competitive. I mean, they have some fun,

63
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: but I got to worry about my players for the

64
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: rest of the season.

65
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 3: Now.

66
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: I don't want to have you gear up for something

67
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: you know, really important in July and something happened to you.

68
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: If something happened in spring training at the WBC. There's

69
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 2: still time that I don't mortgage my season with a

70
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: player or players who would get injured. I'm okay with

71
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: spring training. All right, we'll get some more phone calls

72
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: coming up. A seven to seven to three d P

73
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: show a couple of things. Max Crosby has a podcast

74
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: and it's called The Rush with Max, and he started

75
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: talking about what happened in Baltimore.

76
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 3: I thought it was fascinating because.

77
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: You're thinking, we're trading two first round picks, We're getting

78
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: Max Crosby, We're going to be a Super Bowl contender.

79
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, Max Crosby brings his family. They

80
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,239
Speaker 2: come into town, and all of a sudden, they don't

81
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: roll out the red carpet. They didn't roll out any carpet.

82
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: And Max Crosby said something was off in the building.

83
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: He waited, he was waiting to meet with, you know,

84
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: Jesse Minter, the new head coach. They said, go back

85
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: to the hotel. He took its physical, so he said, like,

86
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 2: what was going on here? Here is Max Crosby on

87
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 2: the Ravens' concerns over his knee surgery.

88
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 5: Go into the room.

89
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 6: They sent me down on the couch and He's like, man,

90
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 6: I don't know how to say this, but you know,

91
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 6: one of our doctors has concerns with you know, with

92
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 6: the results and whatever, like with your knee, like some

93
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,119
Speaker 6: of them have, you know, are concerned about the future

94
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 6: and da da da da da, and you know, we

95
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 6: really want you and this is what it is. But

96
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 6: you know, we're just gonna have to get more and

97
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 6: more opinions. The first of all, in my head, like

98
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 6: I was terrified because I'm thinking in my head, like

99
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 6: what the Like I just had like Neil's Neil Latrosh

100
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 6: best surgeon in the country, like the best of the best.

101
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 6: He's done all my surgeries for the most part, Like

102
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 6: I haven't even got to talk to him, or I

103
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 6: hadn't got to talk to CJ at that point. So

104
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 6: it just kind of hit me. I'm like, what the

105
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 6: is there something wrong? Like I'm freaking out, like low

106
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 6: key deep down. I'm like I can't get another surgery.

107
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 6: I can't like my time. I'm like this is up.

108
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 6: So I'm like, what is going on?

109
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 7: Bro?

110
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 2: So then Max decides he's going to call his surgeon

111
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 2: after his physical.

112
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 6: They tell me like, yeah, we're going to get back

113
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 6: to you like we're gonna get some more opinions and

114
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 6: things like we obviously want you, this is this and that,

115
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 6: and I'm like all right, all right, like okay, so

116
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 6: we'll see.

117
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 5: I don't know.

118
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 3: So then I leave.

119
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 6: I'm like, this is what the I get back to

120
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 6: the hotel bro I'm like, what the going on? Like

121
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 6: what what does this mean? Like I'm calling whatever. Then

122
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 6: I talked to Neil. Neil calls me and he called

123
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 6: me way down. He's like, Max, don't listen to any

124
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 6: of that. He's like, your knee is great. You're exactly

125
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 6: where you're supposed to be or even ahead of schedule.

126
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 6: He's like, you're doing everything right. He's like, they know

127
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 6: you had your surgery nine weeks ago. It's obviously if

128
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 6: you get an MRI. Like he's like showing me literally,

129
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 6: like the actual literature of like this is where it

130
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 6: need's supposed to be at from a meniscus repair, Like

131
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 6: there can be MRIs. It could be misleading because it's

132
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 6: still fresh and surgery and this and this and that.

133
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 6: He's like, listen, you're doing everything right. Everything's going well.

134
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 6: We're going to keep sticking to the plane. He's like,

135
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 6: you will be back by training camp. That has been

136
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 6: the timeline since the beginning. That hasn't changed.

137
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 2: Okay, I think the Ravens got cold feet. I think

138
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 2: that it was, uh, you know, when you put a

139
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 2: bid in on an house and they accept the bid

140
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 2: and then it pans you know, inspection, and then all

141
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: of a sudden, you go.

142
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 3: I don't know, do we want to buy this house?

143
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 3: I think I think we're going to spend too much.

144
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, maybe we find something in the inspection.

145
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: And that's what it felt like. You're giving up two

146
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 2: first round picks for Max Crosby. I don't know what

147
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 2: you thought. That knee was supposed to look like nine

148
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 2: weeks after surgery, and that's where it felt like they

149
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 2: wanted to come up with a reason.

150
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 3: Now that's just my thought.

151
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that it felt like, you know, on second thought,

152
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: we don't want to give up these first round draft picks.

153
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 2: How about we get Trey Hendrickson. We don't have to

154
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: trade for him, and we can sign him to similar money,

155
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 2: and we're going to get somebody who's kind of Max

156
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: Crosby is not as good. But we need an excuse,

157
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: and we got an excuse, and that is we don't

158
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: think the knee can hold up long term. So you

159
00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 2: can say that now you can be vague. NFL is

160
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 2: not doing anything, NFLPA is not doing anything. It's your opinion,

161
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: it's your doctor. And but it felt like it was

162
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: by remorse. And I felt bad for Max Crosby because

163
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: here he is saying goodbye to the Raiders. You're going

164
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: to Baltimore. You get there, and he's kind of trying

165
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: to figure out, Wait a minute, is this how they

166
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 2: greet their players.

167
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 3: Here's Max talking about flying to Baltimore.

168
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 6: So I get there, I get to the hotel. Well, no,

169
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 6: this is the other part. They picked me up. They

170
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 6: flew me to d c oh because there wasn't many flights.

171
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 5: They flew me.

172
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 6: It's like we flew first class. They flew me to

173
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 6: DC because I was only straight through. We had to

174
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 6: drive two hours from DC all the way to Baltimore.

175
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 6: After the five hour flight, Bro, that was wee. I'm like, damn,

176
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 6: just you know what I mean, Like you're sitting on

177
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 6: a plane all day, You're like, I just want to

178
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 6: go and lay down for a second, catch my thoughts.

179
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 7: Bro.

180
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 6: Two hours in the car, I'm like, this is crazy.

181
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if Baltimore decided they were going to keep him,

182
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: he would have been okay with that. It's now looking back,

183
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, you can't get a private plane

184
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 2: for Max Crosby after having knee surgery nine weeks ago,

185
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 2: the need that you're.

186
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 3: Really concerned about. I'm surprised that they didn't put him

187
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 3: in coach coach.

188
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's got to be one of those things. If

189
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 4: you're Max Crosby and you're on your way, you're like,

190
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 4: all right, I'm excited. That's gonna be fun.

191
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 5: Wit.

192
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 4: Am I gonna have to do this all the time?

193
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 4: Like this drive is cool one time? Yes, But am

194
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 4: I gonna have to do this? Say every time I

195
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 4: travel for this team?

196
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 7: Yeah?

197
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 2: Inspires remorse. That's all this is. In my opinion, they realized, hey,

198
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 2: let's make a smarter now. I agree with what they

199
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 2: did that you don't give up those first round picks

200
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 2: and you can bring in Trey Hendrickson. I don't know

201
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 2: health he's been injury prone as well last couple of years,

202
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: but I guess Max Crosby is going to be a

203
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 2: Raider at least uh at least for now.

204
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, Paul, he shows up at the airport in DC

205
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 8: and there's a guy standing there, M Crosby on the

206
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 8: little sign.

207
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 3: Are you him?

208
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm the guy with nineteen tats.

209
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

210
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 7: Yeah.

211
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 2: A couple of phone calls in here. Uh, Carrie in Minnesota. Hi, Cary,

212
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?

213
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 3: Hey? Carry carry?

214
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 2: Curtis in Illinois, Curtis, what's on your mind today?

215
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 3: Warner DP, Good morning.

216
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 9: How you guys were talking about like the dead cap

217
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 9: money that Miami has this year at like seventy five,

218
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 9: which seems to blow out every other team's dead cap

219
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 9: throughout history.

220
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 3: So I guess my question is.

221
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 9: If your salary CAP's three hundred, could FELL impose a

222
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 9: minimum salary for your active roster because the only thing

223
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 9: I found was that you have to spend ninety percent

224
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 9: of your salary over a four year span. But dead

225
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 9: money gets included in that, because if you're the Dolphins,

226
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 9: why sign Leake Willis to this money? If you're still

227
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 9: Pantua and then you can't field a competitive team?

228
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know about that. The language there.

229
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: I did talk to somebody last night because JC Tretder

230
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: is going to be the head of the NFL Players Association,

231
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 2: and I was asking a source, I said, what does

232
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: this mean? He said, well, keep this in mind, the

233
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 2: NFL was going to fast track an eighteen game schedule

234
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 2: for this upcoming season. Now this was this was with

235
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 2: the previous head of the NFL Players Association, and then

236
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 2: you had that mess and then you know, going to

237
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 2: strip clubs and you know, so then the NFLPA has

238
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 2: got to earn the trust back. And it felt like

239
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 2: had things stayed in place, who was the previous head

240
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: of the NFL Players Association, But if if he had

241
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: stayed in that job, from what we learned last night,

242
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 2: that they were probably going to be on pace to

243
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 2: fast track eighteen games. So this is the guy after

244
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 2: Damar Smith, the guy who went to the strip club

245
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 2: and you know, well, anyway, the person there you go,

246
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 2: Lloyd Howell was in that position and then he was

247
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 2: shown the door. But he was probably from what I'm told,

248
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: the NFL would probably be looking at an eighteen game

249
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 2: schedule this upcoming season had he stayed in office working

250
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: with the NFL.

251
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 3: But now with j. C.

252
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: Tretder taking over, and he's got a tough job here,

253
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 2: got to earn the trust back with the NFL players

254
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 2: And then you know you're gonna have that TV contract

255
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 2: coming up here with the NFL as well, But eighteen

256
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: games right now? You know the commissioners said, well, I

257
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 2: haven't even talked about it. Well they have, of course

258
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 2: they have, but I think they probably would be looking

259
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: at eighteen games had the previous guy been able to

260
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: keep that job working with the NFL. All right, let's

261
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: see Russell in Philly. Then we'll take a break. Nick

262
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 2: Wright will join us.

263
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 3: Hi, Russ, Hey, what's up there?

264
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 10: And then that six one two seventeen.

265
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,599
Speaker 11: First and foremost all I could congratulate Howard University in

266
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 11: their first ever win in the NCAA tournament. Congratulations to

267
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 11: the biasing. Second of all, well, disappointed in the US.

268
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 11: It felt like we were playing in Venezuela. And geez,

269
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,599
Speaker 11: it was so loud down there with in Venezuela. I

270
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 11: was so sorry for the guys. And lastly, no one

271
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 11: ever talks about Jameis winston is down there at Miami.

272
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 11: Will that be a competition wouldn't have been novin gentlemen?

273
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 11: Or will they just give it to Willis?

274
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 3: I'll hang the a listen all right, thank you, Russ.

275
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: I didn't know Jameis Winston was in Miami.

276
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, and if it is a competition, a quarterback contmpetition

277
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 4: between those two guys, everybody needs to be fired. You

278
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 4: can't bring in Malik Willis, spend a bunch of money

279
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 4: and be like, but I don't know, I kind of

280
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 4: like James. Then fire everybody, Yes, start over.

281
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 2: This is different than Kyler Murray going to Minnesota for

282
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 2: a competition with JJ McCarthy.

283
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 4: Right, you know we still got Jamis, than fire everybody.

284
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: If you had Jamis and you're comfortable with Jamis, then

285
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: don't bring in Malik Willis.

286
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 5: What do you bring it in?

287
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 2: In fact, it makes more sense to keep Jamis there

288
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 2: for the next two years, then bring in Malik Willis.

289
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 8: Yes, Paul, I have Jameis Winston still as a New

290
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 8: York Giant as of his contract. I don't see any

291
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 8: changes as of is what as his current contract?

292
00:14:52,480 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know where the caller got the information there.

293
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 2: If Jamis is in Miami, wait, is he just in

294
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 2: Miami visiting or living there and nothing to do with

295
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: him actually playing for the Dolphins. All right, We'll take

296
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: a break. More phone calls coming up. We're back after this.

311
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 2: I guess somebody may be a recruiting coordinator at USC

312
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 2: ask if he would allow them to unretire his jersey

313
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: number eleven at USC and he said no, And why

314
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 2: do we retire a jersey? Can we can we honor

315
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 2: a jersey? Do we have to retire? You know, the

316
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 2: Yankees have retired twenty two numbers, including one through ten.

317
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 2: Now I don't know if Matt Liner will retire, you know,

318
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 2: as he said, hey, I'm going to unretire my jersey

319
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 2: and get well, you know what, Marvin play that and

320
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 2: then we'll get to Nick.

321
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 7: Right.

322
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 2: So here is Matt Liner being asked to unretire his

323
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: jersey at USC.

324
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 13: When I was at USC, I got my number retired.

325
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 13: There's been multiple times where people at USC have asked

326
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 13: me if I would unretire my jersey for some five

327
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 13: star prospect And do you want to know what I

328
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 13: told those guys straight up, absolutely fucking not. I Am

329
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 13: never going to retire my jersey for some random dude, who,

330
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 13: by the way, now could wear number eleven and transfer

331
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 13: after a year. The only person that will ever wear

332
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 13: my USC number eleven would be.

333
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 2: Cole Okay, Cole being his son. We apologize for that

334
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 2: that slipped by the goalie there, yes, Paul, which.

335
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 8: Bothers you if anything Matt Lionert saying no, or Matt

336
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 8: Liner being.

337
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 2: Asked a recruit saying hey, I want that jersey number,

338
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 2: as Lionard said, Hey, somebody may come in, they might

339
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 2: be here for a year. I'm going to unretire my

340
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 2: jersey number and if you win a Heisman at USC.

341
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 2: I think you get your jersey retired, but we can

342
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 2: honor like the Cowboys, don't they honor numbers, they don't

343
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 2: retire them.

344
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 14: Yes, Tod, but Matt and no one else in that

345
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 14: situation should be asked directly been put on the spot,

346
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 14: and I had absolutely no problem with him.

347
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 3: Saying, no, it was retired.

348
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 14: That's the number no one gets to wear you.

349
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 3: And it's multiple times that he was asked yes.

350
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I don't know that I've ever really

351
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 4: thought about the concept of retiring numbers as not being

352
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 4: a good idea, but that, you know, like a ring

353
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 4: of honor is makes way more sense than retiring them.

354
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 2: Let's bring in Nick Wright, host of First Things First

355
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports one and What's Right with Nick Wright?

356
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 2: You can find it on YouTube wherever you get your podcast.

357
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 5: To me again, please now, because I'm sitting here listening,

358
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 5: okay to just a chorus of bad takes and my

359
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,239
Speaker 5: MIC's not on and I can't fix any of it. Like,

360
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 5: I don't know what the every take I heard there

361
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 5: was was bad. The first of all, retiring jerseys is awesome,

362
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 5: and you're like all the Yankees, they've retired twenty two numbers. Well,

363
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 5: luckily we're not running out of numbers. Luckily we got

364
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 5: plenty more to come, so we're fine. That's first of all.

365
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 5: Second of all, it's not the recruit's fault for asking

366
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 5: the recruit that wasn't born when Matt Lioner was playing

367
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 5: for USC. He doesn't know every school that's recruiting him

368
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 5: the list of retired numbers. It is the school's fault

369
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 5: for then asking liner like, you can't put it on

370
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 5: it because I remember something happen with Steve Largent Seahawks number,

371
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 5: and they went and asked his family. No, if you

372
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 5: make it, should there should be gravity to retiring a number,

373
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 5: And then you can't then retroactive like didn't have with

374
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 5: Lawrence Taylor and Abdul Carter. You can't then go ask

375
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 5: the guy to unretire it. I had another take here,

376
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 5: but I forgot it. There's just so many bad takes

377
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 5: in there. Oh, I know, I don't have a take.

378
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 5: I've been very very good.

379
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 8: Wait, hold on, hold on what Paul, okay, Nick, Let's

380
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 8: say the New York Giants football team, they've retired fourteen

381
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 8: jerseys and one hundred years unless the earth ends in

382
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 8: four hundred years, they're going to run out of numbers

383
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 8: at some point based on this page.

384
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 5: Right, I understand, which is why it is now now

385
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 5: the threshold to have your number retired only raises, it

386
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 5: becomes much much harder as it should, and so I'm

387
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 5: fine with that. Also, you're anticipating Paul of four hundred

388
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 5: year future where we don't where it's still there's a

389
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 5: taboo on three digit Jersey numbers. Who's to say that

390
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 5: world doesn't exist? Somebody all of a sudden's number one

391
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 5: fifty four. There's nothing wrong with that? Can I tell

392
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 5: you a quick Matt Lionerd anecdote. I'm going to two

393
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 5: years ago. I'm at Yankee Stadium for the World Series,

394
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 5: walking through the concourse, and I'm walking and I see

395
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 5: someone who's a little taller than the crowd, who I

396
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 5: don't instantly recognize except and I'm walking by myself, and

397
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 5: I'm pretty secure in my masculinity and sexuality. But I'm

398
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 5: just being honest with my friends Dan Patrick and Crewe,

399
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 5: and I in my brain, my inner monologue is that

400
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 5: might be the most gorgeous person I've ever seen in

401
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 5: my life, just standing almost like ascending past the crowd,

402
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 5: and then I'm like, wait, this person is walking towards me. Wait,

403
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 5: this person is extending a hint. And then I realized, Oh,

404
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 5: that's Matt Liner, who I've worked with. But I was

405
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 5: just so disarmed by just seeing him in the wild

406
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 5: and his natural beauty.

407
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 3: Did you tell him that?

408
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 5: I think I told him on the air the way

409
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 5: I told you guys. Maybe I didn't mention being comfortable

410
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 5: my sexuality part of it. I didn't want to make

411
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 5: him uncomfortable.

412
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 2: Well, but yeah, you haven't been around Brady Quinn then,

413
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 2: so you know, you know not my type.

414
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 3: Brady.

415
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 2: Brady Quinn is cgi you know, speaking of bad takes,

416
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 2: you're Matt Leiner.

417
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, did.

418
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 5: You want my college basketball top five?

419
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 3: You got one?

420
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 5: Well, I feel like there are three must includes.

421
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 3: Okay, we're gonna do players you saw.

422
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 5: Oh no, I can't do Okay, I don't have that ready.

423
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 3: Okay.

424
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 5: Kareem is my five, Walton's my four. I'm gonna play

425
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 5: them both and I think they'll figure it out. And

426
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 5: Pistols my two. There is a debate at point Oscar magic,

427
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 5: I'm going to go Oscar and then there is not

428
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 5: a whole. But the only hard position to fill is

429
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 5: your three, and you have a different ways you could

430
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 5: go with it. I lean Larry Bird. I would listen

431
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 5: to you on if you think I am being too

432
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 5: much of you know, a slave to the history, and

433
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 5: that the youngest guy on my team is Larry Bird.

434
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 5: That does seem a little odd. I'm being honest, but

435
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 5: I don't. I don't know that anyone else comes to mind.

436
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 5: And it is the greatest college basketball players of all time,

437
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 5: unlike almost any other ranking are going to always be

438
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 5: these old timers because no body is gonna play three

439
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 5: or much less four years moving forward. So like you'd

440
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 5: have to go to like a Doug McDermott type, and

441
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 5: he's not. He doesn't make my team with respect.

442
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 3: Well, you could have grand Hill in there over Dusk.

443
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,479
Speaker 5: I was so I thought about Grand Hill. I wanted

444
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 5: to find a way for my guy, Jerry McNamara and

445
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 5: his greatest big eiaest tournament ever if I at least

446
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 5: at least somewhere beyond the roster I did not have,

447
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 5: you know, Tim Dug, the greatest college basketball players I've seen.

448
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 5: I'm gonna Hansboro. Hansborough would be better remembered if he

449
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 5: never played in the NBA, he was such a dominant college.

450
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you got to put Latner in there over

451
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 2: Tyler Hansbrough.

452
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 5: This is gonna make you. I didn't see Lightner.

453
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 3: Well you didn't see Oscar No.

454
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 5: But I was just saying guys that I've seen. I

455
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 5: was doing a new list guys that I've seen.

456
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 3: Wait, you didn't see later.

457
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 5: I was born in eighty four, so technically I saw him,

458
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 5: but I have no memory. Okay, Like the first college

459
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 5: basketball team that I have vivid memories of is the

460
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 5: AI Georgetown team.

461
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 3: Okay, so you know, so.

462
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 5: Like ninety sixty something, Tim Duncan's the greatest college basketball

463
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 5: player that I you know that I watched start to finish,

464
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 5: and I Jerry McNamara, you know, is a really of

465
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 5: my lifetime. Mellow had the best season. I'm Syracuse guy,

466
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 5: but Mello had the best season. Durant probably was the

467
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 5: most dominant, if you don't care about the winning portion

468
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 5: of it in college, Like the most dominant single season

469
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 5: of you know, this century, in my opinion.

470
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 2: Talking to Nick Wright, you can check him out on

471
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 2: YouTube wherever you get your podcast.

472
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 3: What's Right with Nick?

473
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 2: Wright, and of course Monday through Friday, First things First

474
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports One helped me understand the logic of

475
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins here.

476
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 5: Oh, you know, I actually support what they're doing, and

477
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 5: I think that just taking your medicine and saying we're

478
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 5: not going to do a half measure here. We made

479
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 5: some very very aggressive moves thinking we were championship contender.

480
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 5: We weren't, and rather than peacemealing it, we are ripping

481
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 5: it down in a way not I mean three hundred

482
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 5: million dollar salary cap, one hundred and fifty million in

483
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 5: dead money and by the way, still forty five million

484
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 5: in dead money coming a year from now on to

485
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 5: his deal. We're gonna deal with that now. I think

486
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 5: the reason people take issue with that is, well, then

487
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 5: why sign Malik Willis? And my answer to that is,

488
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 5: Jeff Haffley has, you know, familiarity with him. In order

489
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 5: to evaluate any of I assume they're going to draft

490
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 5: a receiver. Like young players on the roster, you need

491
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 5: to have a level of competency at quarterback. And if

492
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 5: they end up being having the number one pick, but

493
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 5: they think despite that, Malik shows them enough, then they

494
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 5: can really supercharge the reload by flipping that number one pick,

495
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 5: and if they you know, if he plays well enough

496
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 5: for them not to have the number one pick, then

497
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 5: they signed the right guy. And if not, it's not

498
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 5: like they signed him to a five year huge guarantee.

499
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 5: It so it. And even if they get the number

500
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 5: one pick and draft a quarterback, you still might be like, Okay,

501
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 5: but Malik, you start next year and then maybe he's

502
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 5: a trade chip if he plays well. So I think

503
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 5: what they're doing logically. If I was if you said, Nick,

504
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 5: you're taking over the Dolphins, I would have done a

505
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 5: lot of the same things, like let's take our medicine

506
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 5: right now and then try to move forward. But they

507
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 5: are gonna be the worst team in the league by

508
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 5: a lot, by a lot next year.

509
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 3: Who's more all in? The Broncos or the Rams?

510
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: Oh?

511
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 5: The Rams? I don't. I don't necessarily view the Broncos

512
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 5: as all in. I think that they made a smart trade.

513
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 5: I like the Wattle trade. He's only twenty seven, he's

514
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 5: on a reasonable contract. Like I usually don't like trading

515
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,479
Speaker 5: first round pick plus for aging player, but he's not

516
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 5: really aging. He doesn't make a ton of money. The

517
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 5: Rams are again that's there's there's not a lot of

518
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,959
Speaker 5: franchises that I think are you know, run well, and

519
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 5: by well, I mean the way I would do it.

520
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 5: But the Rams recognizing we we have the oldest excellent

521
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 5: quarterback in the league, so let's let's not treat twenty

522
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 5: twenty nine as valuable as twenty twenty six. I think

523
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 5: it's super smart. The Broncos saying our window is open opening,

524
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 5: so we don't want to go all in, but we

525
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 5: also want to take advantage of the moment. And it's

526
00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 5: a very interesting thing. With the just spurmin of receivers

527
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 5: across the league. I would argue right now this moment,

528
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 5: there's more talented receivers than any other time in NFL history.

529
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 5: But there's also two divisions that don't have any of them.

530
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 5: The AFC West in the AFC East, where Jalen Watta

531
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 5: walks in and he's the best receiver in the division

532
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 5: by a lot. DJ Moore, who I don't love, but

533
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 5: walks into the AFC East and he's the best receiver

534
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 5: in the division by a lot. When neither one of

535
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 5: those guys would be the fourth best receiver in the

536
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 5: NFC North, so to speak. So they you know, I

537
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 5: think that was a smart move by Denver.

538
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 2: More surprising that the Chiefs brought in Justin Fields or

539
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 2: Travis kelce came back.

540
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 5: Uh. I right after the Super Bowl, I thought Travis

541
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 5: was going to be done. As the offseason went on,

542
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 5: I then came to believe he's gonna run it back

543
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 5: another year. So I wasn't by the time we got

544
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 5: to the announcement, I wasn't surprised. I was surprised that

545
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 5: there were folks, some friends of mine, in the NFL media,

546
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 5: that we're willing to be like breaking news Travis Kelcey

547
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 5: listening to other teams. No, he wasn't like I've never

548
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 5: liked there. There was a zero percent chance he was

549
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 5: gonna play for anybody else. And I think everybody knew that.

550
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 5: I really liked the Field's edition because they they gave

551
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 5: up nothing. So he's price wise, very cheap for a

552
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 5: backup three million bucks. Gardner Minshew was the Chiefs backup

553
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 5: last year. It's got paid seven million. You can say, well,

554
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 5: they traded a sixth, but because of the NFL's weird

555
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 5: comp pick formula, had they signed a backup, they would

556
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 5: have lost a seventh. So they ended up essentially getting

557
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 5: him for nothing. And I wanted the Chiefs four years

558
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 5: ago Dan to sign Cam Newton so we can run

559
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 5: quarterback sneaks again and maybe have just make teams when

560
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,959
Speaker 5: they play. The Chiefs spend ten minutes of practice that

561
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 5: week dealing with the wildcat quarterback run package.

562
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 3: And so now Jim's still available.

563
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 5: Nick, I know I and I pitched it to Cam,

564
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 5: but you know Cam's building his media empire. I so

565
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 5: I if you were to tell me Patrick is gonna

566
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 5: miss the first month of the season, which I do

567
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 5: not think is gonna happen, I would have rather had

568
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 5: Kirk Cousins as my backup quarterback. If you were to

569
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 5: tell me Patrick's gonna be there in week one, I

570
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 5: would rather have Justin Fields because once Patrick is back

571
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 5: in healthy, Kirk Cousins serves no utility. I think Fields

572
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 5: can get on the field even once Patrick is back

573
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 5: in healthy.

574
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, I like the signing.

575
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 2: I've been a stubborn Justin Fields fan. I mean, he

576
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 2: was in a bad situation. I thought he played okay

577
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh and maybe he does that, you know, reclamation

578
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 2: on the third team. Sam Darnold like and gets an

579
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 2: opportunity to like Malik Willis did in Green Bay.

580
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 5: For him, this is the Either Kansas City or the

581
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 5: Rams would be the two places I would want to

582
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 5: go if I were him where It's like, you don't

583
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 5: you know? I know he might have to play in

584
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 5: the beginning for Kansas City, but get a year under

585
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 5: that coach, learning at that quarterback's feet, and then see

586
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 5: if you can recharge your career. Can I I don't

587
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 5: know how much time we have, Can I ask you

588
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 5: a favor?

589
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 3: Yeah?

590
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 5: Because you are you know, I am friendly with Charles Barkley.

591
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 5: At least I was the last time I saw him.

592
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 5: He maybe maybe not anymore. I would hope. I am

593
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 5: still no reason not to be. You are legitimate friends

594
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 5: with him. The next time you see him, can you

595
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 5: can you ask him does he still like the NBA?

596
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 3: Like like listen. I think that's a fair question. That's

597
00:31:58,360 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 3: just a fair question.

598
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 5: And I want to be clear. I think Charles is

599
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 5: the the greatest in the history of the world at

600
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 5: what he does, and I think a lot of people

601
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 5: have failed trying to be Charles Barkley when you there's

602
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 5: only one Charles Barkley. And I'm not acting like we

603
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 5: get this compliment a lot. But the greatest compliment that

604
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 5: I ever receive about the TV show First Things First

605
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 5: is when people say it reminds me of inside the NBA,

606
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 5: which again I'm not saying we need that compliment a lot,

607
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 5: but whenever we get it, it means a lot. To me.

608
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 5: That's one of, if not the greatest sports TV show ever.

609
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 5: But man, oh man, I wish they liked basketball still,

610
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 5: that's just.

611
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 2: I think, Well, the difference is you guys do research

612
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 2: on First Things First, Like you guys are still studying it.

613
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 11: I think.

614
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 2: You know, Charles in Chack, I don't. I don't know

615
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 2: if they really care. You know, they're jaded with this

616
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 2: and now that we've allowed them to do it, you know,

617
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 2: it's not like Charles's old. That's like with Charles with

618
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 2: March Madness, I'm like, don't put him on March Madness.

619
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 5: But so here's the thing though, at least with March Madness,

620
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 5: he's excited and int like, what he's not gonna do

621
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 5: with March Madness is be like, why are we talking

622
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 5: Saint John's. They're not winning the championship like the Chuck's

623
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:26,239
Speaker 5: almost Vendetta against the Lakers, which actually seems like his

624
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 5: media criticism of how the media talks about the Lakers

625
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 5: is to me misplaced, because if we want to say, listen,

626
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 5: Celtic's thunder Spurs, everyone else can't win the championship, that's

627
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 5: probably correct, Like that's I think the vast majority of

628
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 5: times one of those three teams wins the title. But

629
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 5: after those three, the Lakers are looking eye to eye

630
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 5: or looking down on every other team in the league,

631
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 5: and so to then dismiss them, it's like, well, then

632
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 5: we're dismissing Denver, We're dismissing the Knicks, We're dismissed the Pistons,

633
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 5: and that to me is misplaced given what they've done

634
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 5: over the course of the year in my my humble opinion,

635
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 5: And again I say it on the front end. Really,

636
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 5: I'm not really afraid of any enemies, but I do

637
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 5: want to be friends with Charles Barkley one day, and

638
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 5: so I just want to talk about how much I

639
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 5: love and respect him. But I just don't like that.

640
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,760
Speaker 3: I don't see if I can broke her a deal there.

641
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 5: That would be great. You think you me and Chuck

642
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 5: one day could gamble together.

643
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 3: I don't gamble.

644
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 5: What if I what if? What if I buy you in?

645
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 3: No? You, it's no, it's a gateway drug. And I don't.

646
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 3: I don't. I used to be it.

647
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 5: But but but at your age, what are you worried?

648
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 3: Like they're like, but I don't need the money.

649
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 5: It's it's you know what. Oddly, and I think Chuck

650
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 5: would back me up on this. Sometimes it's not even

651
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 5: not only is it not about needing the money. Sometimes

652
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 5: it's not even about winning. Sometimes it's you need the loss.

653
00:34:58,200 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 5: You need to feel a lot.

654
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, you need to walk out of

655
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 3: there and be like, whoa, you know what?

656
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:04,399
Speaker 5: That's gonna work.

657
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna trust your opinion. I don't need to find

658
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 2: I don't need to feel it myself. What's what's the

659
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 2: biggest loss you ever suffered?

660
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 7: Like?

661
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 3: Where you go that well? I could bring me to tears.

662
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 5: Oh, this is a great March Madness story. This is

663
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 5: great because this is not you know, as you get

664
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 5: older and make more money, the dollar amounts, you know shift.

665
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 5: But the biggest loss as a percentage of my net

666
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:34,760
Speaker 5: worth was the two thousand and eight NCAA Tournament final

667
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 5: Kansas Memphis, Right, Memphis is a three and a half

668
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 5: point favorite. I am fresh off being on Who Wants

669
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 5: to Be a Millionaire and winning fifty grand and gambling

670
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 5: all the time, and like and making eight dollars an

671
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 5: hour doing radio. And I have a bookie in Kansas

672
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 5: City that I gamble with that I convince him. I

673
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 5: was like, listen, I hate this true story. I was like,

674
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 5: I had a dream that Memphis won by three, and

675
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 5: I don't want to bet Kansas plus three and a half.

676
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 5: I want to bet Memphis minus two and a half

677
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 5: because I want to root for Memphis, but they're gonna

678
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 5: win by three. And I was like, so set me

679
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 5: a price. So I had to lay one four. I

680
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 5: had to lay minus one forty, So I laid. I

681
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 5: bet literally net worth, which you know, I think it

682
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 5: is fourteen grand. Is what I had left of the

683
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 5: fifty to win ten biggest bet of my life by

684
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 5: a mile. And Memphis is up three with a second left,

685
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 5: and Chalmers hits the shot, and then they they admit

686
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 5: that was the Derek Rowse miss free throws. Chamers hits

687
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 5: the shot, Kansas wins in overtime, and I and I

688
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 5: went from being the only person who in the world,

689
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 5: Who's gonna bet Memphis? And one time back at zero?

690
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 5: That's what That's what it was. But I felt alive, Dan,

691
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 5: I remember that story eighteen years later.

692
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 3: Let's go here comes you thinking about it?

693
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:06,200

Speaker 2: Dan?

705
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 7: I really enjoyed your conversation with Nick, which led me

706
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 7: to a bigger question, and I have a smaller question. Also,

707
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 7: when you're considering your all time greatest teams, are you

708
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 7: more in the camp of oh, the entirety of their

709
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 7: career and their accomplishments, or like their peak, extended period

710
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 7: of time, or as I like to call it, kind

711
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,760
Speaker 7: of a little Brian Corollary as far as the greatest

712
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 7: of all.

713
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 2: Time, Well, I tend to look at the totality of

714
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 2: your career, because you can have a couple of years

715
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:15,399
Speaker 2: where somebody is sensational. But you know, we were talking about

716
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper. He's had two MVP seasons, but then he's had,

717
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 2: you know, some seasons that were not great numbers. You know,

718
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 2: maybe B level, C plus level, B minus level, something

719
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 2: like that. But yeah, I'm looking at the totality of

720
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 2: somebody's career. Carrie in Minnesota, Hi, Carrie.

721
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 10: Hey, good morning, Dan and Danni's long time first time

722
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 10: six feet in a firm two hundred.

723
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 7: Yeah.

724
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 10: Really, I just wanted to say I really enjoyed your

725
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 10: interview with John Schmoltz yesterday. You know, I thought when

726
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 10: he was playing he was always a class guy, and

727
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 10: yesterday he had some interesting ideas on the All Star

728
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 10: Game Slash Week And you know what always when I

729
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 10: see him on a lifelong Twins fan, and it always

730
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 10: takes me back to the ninety one series. You know,

731
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 10: he pitched a great game into the bottom of the

732
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,959
Speaker 10: eighth and unfortunately for him, Jack Morris pitched a greater game,

733
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 10: and you know, the Twins winning and extra innings, and

734
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 10: you know, I don't know about you, but I don't

735
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 10: think we'll ever see a game like that again with

736
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 10: you know what the pitcher is going that beat?

737
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 2: No, no, I mean if you go five, it feels

738
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 2: like boy kept him in there a long time. Yeah,

739
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 2: those days are gone and you can't fight it. I

740
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 2: mean you can try, it doesn't matter. It's a workhorses.

741
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 2: Maybe going six innings. It's just you know, that's that's baseball,

742
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 2: that's analytics. Back to the Matt Weiner story that he

743
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 2: doesn't want USC to unretire his jersey, and like, at

744
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 2: some point, I don't like what constitutes retiring a jersey,

745
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,919
Speaker 2: Like what do you have to accomplish where you go? Yep,

746
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,720
Speaker 2: we're going to retire that jersey. Like the New York Giants,

747
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 2: Eli Manning, you're going to retire his jersey. They've retired

748
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:12,919
Speaker 2: his jersey. Okay, I get Lawrence Taylor, but all right,

749
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 2: so to retire Phil Simms jersey. They retired his jersey.

750
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 7: Right.

751
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:27,479
Speaker 2: The Yankees have retired twenty two numbers, every single number

752
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 2: from one through ten. I understand what Liner's saying. Wait,

753
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,280
Speaker 2: you're retiring my Jersey. Now you want to unretire because

754
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 2: some you know, high school seniors coming in and once

755
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 2: number eleven because he wore eleven in college. No, now

756
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 2: unless they say, hey, you know, we're going to miss

757
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 2: out on this five star recruit if he wants to

758
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:53,240
Speaker 2: wear number eleven. And I'm going to guess their recruiting

759
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 2: coordinator is probably saying that. But to ask him, according

760
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 2: to Matt numerous times like why newmerous times, why not

761
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 2: just once yes TuS and.

762
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 14: You're not all in on playing for that school if

763
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 14: it's so much about the number, where's the passion of desire?

764
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 14: I want to be a USC trojan if I can

765
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:13,280
Speaker 14: wear your number.

766
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand why Matt would be like no, and

767
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 2: don't keep asking me. Yeah, I didn't agree with what

768
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 2: Nick was saying. Yes, suh, you know what, we'll talk

769
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 2: about it when we come back. Find an hour on

770
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 2: this Wednesday, Dan and The Dan Nete dan Patrick Show
