53
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,800

Speaker 3: He was in the game in the nineties.

92
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: Right now, here's the thing about this, right, this is

93
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: a big to hear. Here we are opening night for

94
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,200

00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: I have no idea.

116
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 3: I wasn't old enough.

117
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 2: I wasn't alive. Man, you're joking, right.

00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: So that was wemby Wit that you're joking. It was

119
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson saying, yeah, I wasn't old enough, And it

120
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: was Sga the first one to say nineteen nineties, like

121
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: you almost said World War One. Mean, you're talking about

122
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: Franz Franz Ferdinand, the Archduke getting assassinated. You want me

123
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: to tell Bob we wanted to have that in history. Oh,

124
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: we're talking about is Dan Bullen Constantinople? Is Dan Bullen Constantinople?

125
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: Was it is Dan Bullet Constantinople? Like that's kind of

126
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: what we're asking the nineties? The way he say he

127
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: looked at the cameraon goes the nineties wide eye. Okay, Hey,

128
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: you know, hey, the last great decade was the nineties, right,

129
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: the last decade, and we I think we peaked as

130
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: a as a population in the globe in the nineteen nineties.

131
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: Everything was still. People were making money and everybody bought houses,

132
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: and Michael Jordan was winning championships and the Cowboys were

133
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: winning and where else.

134
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 3: Did you want to go? Had sports where sports were fantastic.

135
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 3: The Yankees were winning.

136
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: Oh, it is everything we want, and then and then everything.

137
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: You know, the last twenty five years has been a

138
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: little bit more of a rougher go.

139
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot of stuff. I mean, parody has

140
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 3: come into play quite a bit. I'll use that as

141
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 3: the word to describe life in general. Parody.

142
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: You win some sometimes you don't. Last game, some times

143
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: you win, sometimes you don't win. Ok that's right.

144
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 3: Last game on NBC where the two thousand and two

145
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 3: NBA Finals Lakers and Nets, June twelfth, two thousand and two.

146
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: Let me guess that was a that was a late

147
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: It was a Laker win. Jason Kidd with a ten

148
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: point tennis is ten rebound triple double, but Shaq went

149
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: for like thirty five and nineteen and the Lakers won.

150
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: I would assume that because I was pretty sure that

151
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: was a sweep. I'm pretty sure they swept the Nets

152
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: that year.

153
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fun.

154
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: Maybe the Nets got a game, but I'm pretty sure

155
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: the Lakers swept that series.

156
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 3: That was it.

157
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: Okay, uh yeah, last game until now twenty three years later,

158
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: and now I feel old, right, because you know, the

159
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: NBA no, no, no Rogers Man, Hey Aaron Lebron may

160
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: Or may not play this year. Hey, Aaron, can we

161
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: ask you how do you feel about the NBA going

162
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: back to NBC?

163
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 3: What what you're over forty?

164
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: We need you to say something because there's a lot

165
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: of people over forty who are really upset about this,

166
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: Like because you see this and when the NBA is

167
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: returning back and NBC's got it, everybody, you know, but

168
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: you gotta be of a certain age, and when this

169
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: first came back, it's.

170
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 3: Like, everybody's gonna be so excited.

171
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: All the old video you're gonna get to see and

172
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: all the music, and maybe Marv Albert will voice some

173
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: stuff over and in the end he reales. You see,

174
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: all the eight players from today are going, yeah, God,

175
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,119
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about.

176
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 3: Man, nineties.

177
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: None of these guys have any memories of anything that's

178
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: not twenty ten or later.

179
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 3: But that's the big The bigger thing, though, is the

180
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,239
Speaker 3: and whether whether it's a bit or not. There's always

181
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 3: been the the question of how much of the history

182
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 3: of this game, the legacy of this game, the players

183
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 3: really know and care about. Yeah, no, no, but it's

184
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 3: layers like they know they know Lebron and that's just

185
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 3: still being shack. But I don't think they go back

186
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 3: to the night. But that's the question. That's just a

187
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 3: bunch of guys on the whole video term of memory

188
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 3: versus when I say the NBA on NBC, what does

189
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 3: it mean? Right, because that becomes a all right, did

190
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 3: you know it was on NBC? I guess would be

191
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 3: the question. But certainly you I have to believe you've

192
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 3: seen a ton of the video of the guys that

193
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 3: were the stars, So you would have invoked one of

194
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 3: those games or championships or battles, just based on your

195
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 3: knowledge of the game. Yeah, regardless of your age. Yeah,

196
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 3: but I think no, No, but I think they know.

197
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: Look, every kid grows up, every kid who plays sports

198
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: for the most who grows up for the most part,

199
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: grows up loving the sport, seeing it on television and

200
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 1: you find your favorite players and you fall in love

201
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: with the game. Right, some people I understand they don't

202
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: because I'm wasn't a fan. I had a great aptitude

203
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: for it. And then you hear their story. This coach

204
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: went and saw me and said, come here, come here

205
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: and do this. But my shot up to six eight. Wait,

206
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: most players get that, but none of these, none of

207
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: these guys grew up watching Michael Jordan, Like this is

208
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: like you and I grow watching highlights of Bill Russell

209
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: with the Celtics, going, yeah, I was twenty five years ago.

210
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: That was Bill Russell like Jordan. For us, if you're

211
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: if you're in your mid forties or later, you remember Jordan.

212
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: It was the heyday. Remember the NBA and how great

213
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: and how great the series it was and becoming the

214
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: first real global superstar. The NBA had Michael Jordan, Like

215
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: it was a very special time, right. That's why I

216
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: think all of us who are a little bit older

217
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: hold it near and dear. But the whole disconnect between

218
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: the you know, the gen between gen z now it's like,

219
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: I don't know that they remember NBA finals that aren't

220
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: that didn't start in twenty fifteen. I don't know if

221
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: they remember the beginning of the Warriors run because they

222
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: were still, you know, twelve thirteen years.

223
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 3: Seriously, do you think.

224
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: Wemby Wenby remembers the first championship Steph Curry went with

225
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: the Warriors or does his NBA stuff come later than that? Hey,

226
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: I came in the tail end of the Warriors dynasty. There, Oh,

227
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: the tail end of the dynasty. Oh that's still going on.

228
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind that's the disconnect you get between

229
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: players that are stars now because say they're twenty five, right,

230
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: So say they were born around two thousand, right, let's

231
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: just use as an average number. So when do you

232
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: start really remembering things? Well, okay, if you're a fan,

233
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: probably two thousand and eight, twenty ten, right, two thousand

234
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: and ten, because when you're eight ten years old, But

235
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: do you really remember that that well, or do you

236
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: remember he's really come. Hey, when I was in middle

237
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: school in high school, when I started to understand the

238
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: game and I understood what was going on and I

239
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: watched players, I didn't just watch the game, was just

240
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: like wow, wow, wow. Like, I think a lot of

241
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: players would have some sort of of of of scattershot

242
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: memories of the Lakers beating the Magic and the Lakers

243
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: beating the Celtics to win the title, and the Celtics

244
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: beating the Lakers the year before. Like, I think people

245
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: have some some sort of really dim memories of that,

246
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: but like their first memories are probably hey, you know,

247
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: Lebron getting to the finals in twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen,

248
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: and the Warriors winning for the first couple of times, Like,

249
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: that's probably where most of these guys their NBA of

250
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: players they love and play like, that's where they begin

251
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: and when they go. I want to look back at

252
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: at guys' careers, like I'm looking back at at at

253
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: Kobe and Pau Gasol from two thousand and nine. I'm

254
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: looking back at Tim Duncan from two thousand and eight.

255
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the accompanying clip to all of these is

256
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 3: when you have these these moments, right, like the profiles

257
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 3: of the stars from different squads, not the ones that

258
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 3: are in heavy rotation, but when they crack through, it's like, hey,

259
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 3: let's have that introductionory moment. It becomes the Yeah, I

260
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 3: grew up watching Blank and I'd be like, I grew

261
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 3: up watching Kyrie Irving. I grew up, right, guy, guys

262
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 3: of that, you know, in parallel with what you're talking about, uh,

263
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 3: in terms of championships, it's not uh, you know, harken

264
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 3: back to this player and I modeled my game after

265
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 3: some video I watched. It becomes you know, the more

266
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 3: recent and you see the dejected. Look when it's the

267
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 3: one on one interaction. I grew up watching you, Like, dude,

268
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 3: I'm only thirty five. Yeah, yeah, I grew up everything.

269
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, that's like, uh, what was what was that?

270
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: What's the demmur movie from last year where she was

271
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:34,840

Speaker 1: With his version of a knocked down joke. We just

281

Speaker 1: but that, but that, But that's part of Nobody remembers

283
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: the nineteen ninety nine Knicks finals when they had the

284
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: lockout and the Knicks went to the finals against the Spurs.

285
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: Nobody remembers That's that's it.

286
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,560

288
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 3: For oj More, the finals.

289
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: That is ancient history. Man, you're going back into I

290
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: mean really the nineties. It's great, And that's not that

291
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm I would have thought one of them would have

292
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: said OJ. Yeah, oh no. But again that you're going back,

293
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: that's thirty years. That's they watched it, the OJ the

294
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: OJ Chase for them.

295
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 3: And again it's documentaries. It's not watching it live like.

296
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: The OJ Chase for players now, right is like when

297
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: you and I growing up seeing the Kennedy assassination or

298
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: something from the late fifties, early sixties, video for video

299
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: from World War Two, when you're seeing a bunch of

300
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: things like that's kind of what you're going back and

301
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: looking at. That's that's the same time frame that you

302
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 1: and I had in the nineteen eighties that they're having

303
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: right now in twenty twenty five. I mean, no, it's tough.

304
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 1: For it's tougher because retro is so is so much

305
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: more in vogue now and there's so many more ways

306
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: to consume the past. Yeah, where you could, like you

307
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: had to go to like the library and check out

308
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: microfiche to look to I want to look at the

309
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: NBA Finals in nineteen sixty four when Bill Russell scored

310
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: thirty eight point you have to. But now it's like oh,

311
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: I can click on in a computer in seconds, right,

312
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: you can. You're you're that much closer to the past now,

313
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: which makes it easier to see. But again, for the players,

314
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: that's the whole thing, is that. Yeah, that's what it's

315
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: is for them, this is not well, I want to say,

316
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: very rare is the Kobe Bryant that can sit down

317
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: and say, let's talk about the the nineteen eighty eighty

318
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: one finals, let's talk about Magic and the Lakers, and

319
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: let's talk about Magic's hook shot like they know, there's

320
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: very rare people that could that could do that. And

321
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: now I just feel old because at.

322
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 3: The nineties, HGAO in the nineties.

323
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: Come on, man, exit ou about a Fresca exit swollen dome.

324
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: It looks like we could be headed to overtime rockets

325
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: and the Thunder tied one oh four a piece with

326
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: two seconds left to go. Thanks to SGA's heroics, picking

327
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: up where he left off hits a fade away jumper

328
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: to tie it. Time out on the floor, we got

329
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: more basketball on the way. Business fluctuations make running your

00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: here we are right now in the NBA Opening Night

359
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: Rockets and the Thunder. First time out of overtime, the

360
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: Thunder take a one oh seven, one oh four lead

361
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: over the Rockets. It was a big jumper at the

362
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: end of regulation to tie the game for SGA. He

363
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: now has twenty three, chet Holmgren with twenty five. Meanwhile,

364
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: Shane Goons got thirty seven and seven for the Rockets.

365
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: KD has twenty. Fun game opening Night. Uh again, I'm

366
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: a little surprised. Here here are the Rockets. No Fred

367
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: van Vliet obvious leads. He's out and it's a huge blow.

368
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm I'm kind of impressed they're sticking so close here

369
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: opening night, They get their rings, everything is going their way,

370
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: and they nearly pulled this off in regulation.

371
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 3: Well, we look at the rotation for the Rockets, a

372
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 3: little bit shorter, but big night, get a lot of speculation, right,

373
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant signs his new deal another two years, ninety

374
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 3: million dollars. Talk about the coin that he's racked up

375
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 3: over time. But you know, Ring Knight's always a little

376
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 3: a little difficult because we've seen some pretty poor shooting.

377
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 3: You talked about the three point arc earlier at nine

378
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 3: to forty one. That'll allow you to stay into a team. Yeah,

379
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 3: if you're the opposition, that's true.

380
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you go nine nine for forty one, that

381
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: I feel like that was uh, anyway, there was a

382
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: Mets choke in there. So we'll keep you updated here.

383
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: One ten, one oh six, a little over three minutes

384
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: left to go on regulation opening night, and of course

385
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: coming up, we have the other marquee game of the night.

386
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: We have the Lakers and the Warriors and the debut

387
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: of Skinny Luca. But today NFL News. You know, as

388
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: soon as I saw Woody Johnson trending, I said, oh,

389
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: what what has happened? What has happened with the owners

390
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: meetings happening now in the NFL? Woody Johnson decided to

391
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: take today to talk to the media about how he

392
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: feels about his zero to seven Jets team Aaron Glenn

393
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: and more specifically justin fields. So let's deal with Aaron

394
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: Glenn first, because this is the one that really upsets me.

395
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: So look, I've told you Aaron Glenn's knockut out to

396
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 1: be a head coach. I'm waiting him out like I

397
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: had to wait out Adam Gase.

398
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 3: It's tough because you had that two month lead up

399
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 3: to the season. You're very excited. I loved him, him

400
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 3: and Vraible running in parallel. Maybe they fight at some point,

401
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 3: but you know, culture builders, and you know guys that

402
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 3: character and long teeth with the league, and well, here we.

403
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: Are building a long road to nowhere. I mean really,

404
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: I mean when when Aaron Glenn, two weeks in a

405
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: row just won't throw a hail Mary from midfield in

406
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: the final play of the first half, just because I

407
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: want to get to halftime?

408
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 3: What are you doing? Man?

409
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: I mean really this time, I mean, I've said for

410
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: being a head coach is too much trip. Not everybody

411
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: has cut out to be a head coach. Some guys

412
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: got to be really good coordinators. Maybe after seeing how

413
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: good the Lions are without him, maybe he wasn't that

414
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: great a coordinator. But I mean, come on, man, you're

415
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: supposed to be building a culture. Supposed to be but

416
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: not only is he not building a culture because the

417
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: players are making really bad mistakes. No again, now it's

418
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: like I'm hearing all these big names the Jets are

419
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: gonna let go. These are all the best players. Oh yeah,

420
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: Quincy Williams could be gone, and Jermaine Johnson could be gone,

421
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: and Breece Hame. Like, Okay, I get a couple of guys,

422
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: but wow, you get rid all these guys not buying

423
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: into Aaron Glenn. Like the Jets are in an absence.

424
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 3: They sink. So it becomes the how do we shed

425
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 3: uh salary and everything else and start over?

426
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: Now, all I can hope for is that at the

427
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:14,959
Speaker 1: end of the year, when the Jets are zero to

428
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: seventeen one, it's one and sixteen whatever it is, and

429
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: they're picking first, understand that it's not you know, forget

430
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: for a second that he's not up up to being

431
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: a head coach. You're gonna trust Aaron Glenn number one

432
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: pick in the draft, most likely one or two you're

433
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: getting Fernando Mendoza or Dante More likely those are the

434
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: first two picks. In the NFL draft in some order.

435
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: There could be another quarterback that rises up as the

436
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: season goes on, but right now it looks like these

437
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: are the guys at one and two that drafts out

438
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 1: another position at this point. But that's just you know,

439
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: Jet Jet, We've been looking for a quarterback since name it.

440
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: Okay is looking so you need you need somebody that's good,

441
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: one you trust to be in charge of this. You

442
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: need somebody with an offensive acumen. And what did Aaron

443
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: Glenn come in. I'm gonna go sign Justin Fields who stinks,

444
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: and we're gonna go back to nineteen sixties football where

445
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: we have a quarterback in two running backs. We want

446
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: to run the ball every single play Like this is

447
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: not how you win modern day NFL. This is the

448
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: guy that's gonna be in charge of Fernando Mendoza or

449
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: Dante Moore. Come on, man, you gotta do something different.

450
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 3: To be fair. I mean it wasn't Aaron Glenn that

451
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 3: signed him, No, but still, but Aaron Glenn said, we

452
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 3: don't want you, Aaron Rodgers. We we we're gonna go

453
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 3: in a different direction. Okay, we're gonna get somebody else.

454
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 3: But that was part of that was excising the last

455
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 3: couple of years you had in the building, Yes, but

456
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 3: it was a lot bastion and negativity and a lot

457
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 3: of it's surrounding.

458
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: Right, but stuff has happened. He's made decisions and they

459
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: haven't gone well. So I'm sorry if I don't trust

460
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: you to make bigger decisions when instead of a bridge quarterback,

461
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: it's we're gonna take care of this guy's career.

462
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 3: The one is it, Darren moy What am I gonna?

463
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 3: What am I?

464
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch Fernando Mendoza be awful with the Jets

465
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: for three years and then sign with the Rams and

466
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: take over for Matthew Stafford and he's gonna be a superstar.

467
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 3: But that's one hundred percent the way it's gonna go.

468
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 3: I mean, this can go back. Do you want to

469
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 3: play the round ball rock start again? I mean you

470
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 3: can circle all the way back to that JR blip

471
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 3: with Sanchez.

472
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: Whatever the Jets do is right. Otherwise it's been miserable now.

473
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: But so I'm like, Okay, we're gonna it's gonna be

474
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: a one and done year for Aaron Glenn. No, but

475
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: here's Whatdy Johnson today talking about how much he loves

476
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: what Aaron Glenn is doing with the Jets.

477
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 2: It looks like he's turning around parts of it.

478
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 5: You know, it's hard when you have a quarterback with

479
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 5: a rating that we've got. You knows, I mean, he

480
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 5: has the ability, but something just is not giving. But

481
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 5: if you look at any any head coach of the

482
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 5: quarterback like that, you're going to see similar results.

483
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 7: If you were across the league, if I were a player,

484
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 7: he would I would respond to him because he's the

485
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 7: real deal. Nobs is no second a Gender's what you're

486
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 7: hearing is the truth. And a lot of time players don't.

487
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 2: Get the truth.

488
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 7: They get a lot of gobbledy googy.

489
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: Great, So now I'm good, he said, gobbled got stuck

490
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: with Aaron Glenn. I'm stuck with Aaron. Everybody we're stuck

491
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: with Aaron Glenn.

492
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 3: But you get a billionaire owner that said, Gobbler's stuck

493
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 3: with Aaron.

494
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: Just one of us, we're stuck with him. Yeah, And

495
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: then he went on the end of that state when

496
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: he says, hey, Jets fans are the smartest fans. They

497
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: know what's going on. Okay, they know what's going on.

498
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: I'm like no for fifteen years. I have no idea

499
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: what's going on. I have no idea how every other

500
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: team in the NFL has gone to the playoffs. Who

501
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: every other team with no hope has found a way

502
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: to have hope. How the Lions have found a way

503
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: to have hope. And we don't how the Arizona Cardinals

504
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: have actually played in a playoff game. Every other team

505
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: is fair, but we can't know. So I don't know

506
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: what's going on. Jet's van Zeltz. No, Cardinals got a

507
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: couple of Super Bowl I don't know what's going on.

508
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 3: I don't know what's And we could just complete a pass.

509
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 3: It would look good. Well, we got, we got that,

510
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 3: we got, we got, we got here, and we.

511
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: Got It's okay, we's all set up to doing a

512
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: lot of wood we got, we got, Woody.

513
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 3: Here's let's let's since Okay.

514
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: Since you since you live and mark tape on that.

515
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 3: Okay, we're playing that back for Frostburg. Okay, ty share,

516
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 3: we play it back for me.

517
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: It's about you playing it back on Frostburg. I wasn't recording.

518
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 4: Uh.

519
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: Here's Woody Johnson laying the blame squarely at the feet

520
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: of Justin Fields.

521
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 2: You know, they found a little spark with that quarterback.

522
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 2: I was talking to John Mayer not too long ago, and.

523
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 4: I said, we were hoping that that change would.

524
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 3: Have had.

525
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: No, that's that's shar the other the other Woody Johnson

526
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 1: won maybe hard. We should have just he should have

527
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: just said it.

528
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 7: If I were a player, he would I would respond

529
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 7: to him because he's a real deal. Nobs, there's no

530
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 7: second Agenda's what you're hearing is the truth. A lot

531
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 7: of times players don't get the truth. They get a

532
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 7: lot of gobbledy goolby.

533
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 3: All right, that's the that's the other way. Okay.

534
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: So Woody Johnson threw blame at Justin Fields and said,

535
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: as you said, if we could just complete a pass,

536
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: that would be okay. Right, we just complete a pass,

537
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: that would be okay. This is why it's tough being

538
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 1: a Jets fan because what he said was true. It

539
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: was embarrassing, it was harsh, it needed to be said,

540
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: and it's a really rough optic. It's all of these things.

541
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: What are you John's it's all of these things. It's

542
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: not just bad, it's not just rough. It's not just

543
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 1: what's needed. This is everything. This is why it's so tough.

544
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: It's hard to be a Jets fan. And then we

545
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: got the news later on today ESPN reporting that likely

546
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: they're going to change over to to Rod Taylor to

547
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 1: be the quarterback this week, and now Justin Field is

548
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: losing his job, And maybe that was the whole thing,

549
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: was Woody Johnson getting out in front of it. So hey,

550
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: it's okay to make a quarterback change. It's all right,

551
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 1: we're doing it. But like that, that's what makes it

552
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: so tough, because Justin Fields has been terrible, right, he's been.

553
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: He's been absolutely awful. But now here's your owner saying

554
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: our quarterback has been terrible. We don't need that. We know,

555
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: don't I don't think any team needs to say.

556
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 3: I don't need to.

557
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: Say how bad a quarterby We all see it again.

558
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: I don't need you to tell me how deep the

559
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: ocean is. I can see everybody knows that he's bad.

560
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 1: But yet, but like I said, it's needed, but it's embarrassing.

561
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: It's so hard to be the Jets. It's so hard.

562
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 3: But the first step is admitting it you have a problem.

563
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 4: Uh.

564
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 3: He was also asked, well, since quarterbacking has been so difficult. Uh,

565
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 3: do you regret what went on with Aaron Rodgers quote?

566
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 3: I never looked back, This is what he said to

567
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 3: Rich Samini. Yeah. Uh, you have to look forward in football,

568
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,239
Speaker 3: even when you cut players, they could be a Hall

569
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 3: of famer. You just never know. But Aaron's playing great now.

570
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 3: He's in a situation that's working for him again. Organizational

571
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 3: ineptitude taken to the highest degree. H two years, forty

572
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 3: million dollars. Look, he had to sign off on that.

573
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 3: The aforementioned GM right brought him up. It's not Aaron

574
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 3: Glenn that unilaterally just said I like the cut of

575
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 3: that guy's Jim No, let's give him two years, forty

576
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 3: million dollars. And now to go to Torod Taylor when

577
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 3: you're own seven? What the hell's the point? You know

578
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 3: what Gerrod Taylor is, You're playing for number one. We

579
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 3: might win three games here. Yeah, but why why would

580
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 3: you be stuck with us my er at seven? But

581
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 3: why would you not say like this, I just whether

582
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 3: you like cook or not or you want to just

583
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 3: go find someone who's still hanging out. I'm glad you man,

584
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 3: I can answer that question. I bother a question for you.

585
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, because Woody Johnson is the worst owner in the NFL. Okay,

586
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: he is the He's worse than Jerry. At least Jerry

587
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: Jones has somewhat of a plan of succeed. It may

588
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: not be good, but at least he's got some kind

589
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: of plan. See, I keep defending Jerry. All those double

590
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: digit win seasons. We'd kill for those, man, Come on,

591
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it's really it is. There is no harder

592
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: team to root for in all of sports than the Jets.

593
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: There is no harder team. Every other team has found

594
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: a way to have some sort of excitement, some sort

595
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: of positivity. There's no team harder than the Jets. And

596
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: when you see stuff like this today, we're here's an

597
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: owner saying, hey, our quarterback can't.

598
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 3: Compete a pass, complete a pass. Yeah we all know that.

599
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 3: But man, where we're at, and there's nowhere to go

600
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 3: just we are just absolutely dysfunctional. We are just at

601
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 3: We can't get out of our own way, and it

602
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 3: woul never gonna change. Which is worse that or I mean,

603
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 3: and we got plenty of time to talk about, you know,

604
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 3: Miami and everything going on there, But like their their

605
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 3: biggest claim to fame is celebrating when the last team loses,

606
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 3: it's the Mercury. Moore is raising up a dog.

607
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have Marino. They went to playoffs, like the

608
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: Jets are. They're living off a one win. We're living off.

609
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 3: A one win. Saved the NFL five years ago, but

610
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 3: that made the NFL. He just did a whole thing

611
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 3: about how NBA starts. Don't remember the nineties.

612
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: Now, Okay, the Jets are living off a one win

613
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: and it was fifty six years ago. Okay, that's how

614
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: long ago that. I don't know if the Jets would

615
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 1: still be a team if they didn't win that game.

616
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: But this is how bad. There's no worse team to

617
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: root for in all those sports. You give me every

618
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: other team, I'll say they have more positivity than the Jets.

619
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: I mean, really, you see, there's no factory of jad Jones.

620
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones says all the stuff going on with Michael Parsons,

621
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: all the things he probably wanted to say, he never

622
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: said something like this.

623
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 3: He never did. Jerry Jones even knows. Yeah, I'm not

624
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 3: gonna throw my quarterback under the bus like that. Now,

625
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 3: Justin Fields can never play for.

626
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: The Shots before the season, not that I wanted to

627
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: see Justin Fields play again. But still, I mean, you know,

628
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: you don't see this happen. This is a level of

629
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: dysfunction that is just wow. There is nothing that's gonna

630
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: solve this, man, There is nothing. Even if you bulldoze

631
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: it and you build it back up again, You're not

632
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: gonna build anything good.

633
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 3: You're gonna build it in.

634
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: A faulty uh landlights. It's just gonna fall down again.

635
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: It's like slash and burn agriculture that never grows back.

636
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 3: Well, we burned it. Is it growing back?

637
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 8: No?

638
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: Well you slashed it, Yeah and you burned it. Yeah,

639
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: where's the rest of it? It's not back?

640
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 4: It was.

641
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 3: That's all.

642
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: We didn't rotate, really is it is the It is

643
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: the hardest team to root for in all of sports.

644
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 3: And yet I must love the misery because I keep

645
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 3: coming back for what he's round up. They keep coming back.

646
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 3: He's always there for you. I keep coming back for

647
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 3: I mean every fault, Jason, we found out what he

648
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 3: sound you wanted? Oh you did, Okay, let's hear it.

649
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 3: Go ahead. You keep pulling the button. He keeps saying,

650
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 3: it is the smartest thing what Johnson's ever said. That's fair.

651
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: That's what he should have said today instead of saying

652
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: justin fields that you know, if we can just complete

653
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: a pass like I mean, I really.

654
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 3: We can just complete a pass.

655
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: Everybody knows that, Woody, we all know that. We all

656
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: watch the games. Jets fans are smart, we all watch

657
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: the games. We all know what's going on. Ex I

658
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: have no idea what's going on. This is what it

659
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: is to be a Jets fan again. Whatever team you

660
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: root for, just think, well, I don't have it like Jason,

661
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: and somehow he keeps coming back.

662
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 3: I don't understand. That's how it goes. Got to be smarter, man.

663
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,719
Speaker 3: You still have time to change change your evil ways.

664
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: Just an unbelievable day with the NF it it's the

665
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: hard reset time now to find out what's trending in

666
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:28,719
Speaker 1: the wide world of sports. So someone who has been

667
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: called the Woody Johnson of Fox Sports Radio because he

668
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: walks around and tells me, Jason no more tears, it's

669
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: deep to say.

670
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 3: And I can complete a pass.

671
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 8: As for the NBA tonight in downtown La Genie Buss

672
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 8: is seated next to the new Lakers owner Mark Walter,

673
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 8: but of course multiple Laker fans are not seeing that

674
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 8: right now. You see, it's opening night in the NBA

675
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 8: and NBC has a new eleven year media rights deal

676
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 8: starting tonight. There's only two games to televise tonight, and

677
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 8: we're nearly done with the first quarter in LA, and

678
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 8: it's on streaming only.

679
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 3: Peacock Baby, My Goodness.

680
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 8: Golden State leads the Lakers in LA twenty two to fourteen.

681
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 8: Late in the first half. It's apparently going to a

682
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 8: second overtime. At defending champion Oklahoma City. The scoreboard shows

683
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 8: a tie at one fifteen for the Rockets Kevin Durant

684
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 8: with twenty points, thirty five for his new teammate Alpa

685
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 8: and Shngoon for Oklahoma City. Twenty eight points each for

686
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 8: Shay Gilgis Alexander, who sent it to the first overtime

687
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 8: with a bucket, and twenty eight for chet Holmgren, who

688
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 8: had started seven for seven from the floor. One fifteen

689
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 8: all end of the first overtime. Again, there's only two

690
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 8: games tonight. Most of the NBA teams start on Wednesday.

691
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 8: For the next Karl Anthony Towns is questionable with a

692
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 8: string quad, but he can complete a pass. Memphis guard

693
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 8: Jah Morant was cleared to play tomorrow after a sprained ankle.

694
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 8: Paul Georgia Philadelphia is out tomorrow after offseason knee surgery.

695
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 3: Opening Night rosters.

696
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 8: In the league, by the way, include a record tying

697
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 8: on one hundred and thirty five international players, over seventy

698
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 8: from Europe. The Angel's new manager is Kurt Suzuki, a

699
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 8: former catcher from nearby cow State Fullerton. He had a

700
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 8: sixteen year Major league career, finished as an Angel in

701
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 8: twenty twenty two.

702
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: Oh see, I'm sorry, you mispronounced Albert pool Holes right,

703
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: because the Angels hired Pools Tory Hunter right, Oh right,

704
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: Tory Hunter.

705
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 3: No, Tory Hunter. They hired both pool Holes and Hunter.

706
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 8: All three of those were being paid by the Angels

707
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 8: on personal services contract. So I guess throw spaghetti against

708
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 8: the wall and some strand is gonna stick.

709
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 3: But can we just say.

710
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 8: Out loud they were paying Albert pool Holes a million

711
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 8: dollars a year for what exactly ten years ten million

712
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 8: dollars for a personal services contract after they already overpaid

713
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 8: on the actual playing contract and released him before he

714
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 8: was actually finished playing.

715
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: You could just make personal services be manager of the Angels.

716
00:32:58,240 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: That's your personal service.

717
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 8: And Mike Trout is still signed through twenty thirty and

718
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,719
Speaker 8: he's been batting about two thirty the past two seasons.

719
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 8: You know, it's not all about We talked about this

720
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 8: in baseball. The Mets spent a lot of money, didn't

721
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 8: make the play.

722
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 3: It's not all about money.

723
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 8: You actually have to have a front office doing some

724
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 8: big people. The Halos have had a losing record for

725
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 8: ten straight years now. The World Series starts Friday night

Speaker 1: turned into a big night for SGA wasn't it wasn't

773
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 1: one early on for him. He's got thirty seven out

774
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: of ten from the free throw line. But it's a

775
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: two point deficit for the Thunder right now, still a

776
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: lot of time left to go, just under two minutes.

777
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 3: The curiosity they just put up the graphic. Kevin Durant

778
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 3: was seven teen after three quarters. He's taken one shot

779
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 3: since yeah he is uh, well, you know he got

780
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 3: to feel the game. Come yeah, I don't know.

781
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 2: He's waiting.

782
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: Maybe he's a little tired. Come on, man, a little

783
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: tired Opening night. You're gonna got the running around? What

784
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: the hell I expected? More so, we'll have more NBA

785
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: coming up in about ten minutes. A big thing from

786
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 1: everybody who's trying to watch the Lakers and Warriors game now.

787
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: But big trade Rumor Today reports that the Cowboys have

788
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: spoken to the Raiders about Max Crosby, which, again, the

789
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: easy joke here is, oh, now, Jerry Jones realized you

790
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: needed to defend the pass too. If only you had

791
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: a guy like that. Oh you did have him in

792
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:41,240
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons.

793
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 3: Okay, he still would have had to pay him, don't them.

794
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: I got that guy, and I'm trading this guy, and

795
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: I'm trading that guy's making all these trades.

796
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 3: So look, I'm gonna do things my way.

797
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and my way is terrible.

798
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: So if I make enough trades, people won't be able

799
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: to keep track of it and they'll just say, hey,

800
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: I did a good thing. Three card money is to

801
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: see the queen is right here and follow it for

802
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: the shell game. Let's go that's maca, that's this that

803
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: to help moving moment on.

804
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 3: Not only would.

805
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: This be a great move for the Cowboys because it

806
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 1: would show the Cowboys that, hey, Jerry Jones has confidence

807
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: in this team because the offense is tremendous. Right, it's

808
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: even better. And I said beginning of the season, I said,

809
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 1: watch out, how good this Cowboys offic is gonna be? Right,

810
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 1: don't get a shootout with them. The offense is legit,

811
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: and it's the best offense in the NFL. It's even

812
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: a little it's it's putting up numbers a little bit

813
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: better than what the Colts are putting up. Well, you

814
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,399
Speaker 1: look at Jake Ferguson's your number one tight end fantasy. Yeah,

815
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: he's been ridiculously consistent. George Dickens had an incredible first

816
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 1: six games. He's gonna be Graham is back.

817
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 3: Now it's a question of whether you can keep Pickings happy.

818
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 3: Now like that that becomes the thing. Javonte Williams has

819
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 3: been a great fine at the running back now again.

820
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 3: Ric o'dodell was a thousand yard runner last year. But

821
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 3: all of that to say is you've got weapons, and

822
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 3: now you figure out defensively how to make things easier

823
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 3: on Eberflus, Right, and.

824
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,240
Speaker 1: It would because Max Crossby the guy. He's a plug

825
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: and play guy. We'll get after the quarterback he's got,

826
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: you know, to get him. He's already following a lot

827
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: of Dallas players on Instagram, like he's following nine players

828
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 1: on Instagram, Like all of a sudden that changed today. Yes,

829
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: if you're the Raiders, you really don't have any use

830
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: for Max Crosby anymore. He's still an elite pass rusher

831
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: that will get to the quarterback. He will bring the

832
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: Cowboys the defensive attitude they need they're missing. This is

833
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 1: a home run move for the Dallas Cowboys. Getting Max

834
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: Crosby vaults them up into contender status.

835
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 3: Right.

836
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: This will do that because you see how good the

837
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: offense is. They don't need the defense to play the

838
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: level of league you know, league elite. They just need

839
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 1: to be hey, just play league average. And certainly Crosby

840
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: is a plug and play guy, he would be great.

841
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 1: But more importantly, and this is why it's gonna get done,

842
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: because Jerry Jones knows he can rebuild all that goodwill

843
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: that he lost with the Micah Parsons trade because he's

844
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: still hated so much in Dallas for the move, and

845
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: you got rid of our best guy. He goes out

846
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 1: and gets Max Crosby. Okay, we changed things up a

847
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: little bit. We don't pay Mike up, but we got

848
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,720
Speaker 1: a couple of draft picks. Now we have Max Crosby.

849
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: He changes the conversation and he gets back a lot

850
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,240
Speaker 1: of good will. He buys back a lot of goodwill

851
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,760
Speaker 1: and a lot of optimism, and suddenly everything in Dallas

852
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: feels better. The team feels better. They feel that Jones

853
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: has confidence in them. They feel they have confidence in

854
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,919
Speaker 1: the team going forward with Dak they can win any game.

855
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: Crosby's gonna help them defensively. Jerry Jones gets the trust

856
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: from the players and the media and Cowboys Nation. Like

857
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: everybody wins in this. I can't see how this doesn't

858
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: get done at this point, Like this is this is

859
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 1: an absolute must for Jerry Jones to get done.

860
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 3: Yeah. A couple of insiders followed up, and again it's

861
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 3: all fluid with a couple of weeks before the trade deadline,

862
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 3: but Pellisero said that the Raiders met with him to say, hey,

863
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 3: you're not leaving. We're not going away. And then Jane

864
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 3: Slater covers everything there in Dallas. She also actually put

865
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 3: a gift of someone throwing a bucket of water on

866
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 3: stuff in the conversations to say I would love this

867
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 3: for you. However, at this point it's not happening. But

868
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 3: that doesn't mean it isn't subject to change if the

869
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 3: price is right. Because we look at the Raiders right now,

870
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 3: they're a domster fire, right. And the contract that Crosby has,

871
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 3: it's a three year, one hundred and six million dollar

872
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 3: deal that was signed in March that keeps him there

873
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 3: through twenty twenty nine, average salary of about thirty five

874
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 3: and a half ninety one guaranteed. We know that Parsons

875
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 3: got his four year, one eighty eight one hundred and

876
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 3: thirty six million in guarantees flowing on there. But all

877
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 3: of that is you make a decision in the moment.

878
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 3: You're paying heavy on the offensive side of things. And

879
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 3: I gotta say I go back to a defended Shane

880
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 3: on a lot of it, except for the phone call

881
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 3: where he was crying, Hey, you're gonna let us know, right,

882
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 3: say Kwan now, bad job I have likewise with with

883
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 3: Jerry Jones, like you're trying to figure out how you

884
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 3: build out the best roster and what Mico might mean

885
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,240
Speaker 3: to you in terms of wins and losses. Now clearly

886
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 3: it killed your your defense because well you know you're

887
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,320
Speaker 3: planning with him being there. Well, now you can plug

888
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 3: and play.

889
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: It's a home run. Jerry Jones has to get this done.

Speaker 4: is only a matter of time before he is in Flushing,

927
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:49,240
Speaker 4: Queens pitching for your team. But he is not pitching

928
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 4: for the Mets or the Tigers in this World Series.

929
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 4: There are a couple great ball clubs that will be

930
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 4: contesting this Fall Classic. And before we go any further,

931
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,800
Speaker 4: I have to say that I I should have trusted

932
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 4: my hometown team or I got admit that right away

933
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 4: I predicted the Bucks would win. I was wrong and

934
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 4: the Lions for the first time this year, I picked

935
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 4: against him and was humbled in the process. So maybe

936
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 4: maybe they will be contesting in football's version of the

937
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 4: World Series later on, but we are several months away

938
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 4: from selling matters matters there.

939
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: Well, I'm see, I'm okay with all that because you

940
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: just told me that the Mets are going to get Schooble,

941
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: So I'm okay with that.

942
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:35,919
Speaker 3: You can say whatever you want to. If you really

943
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 3: think that's gonna happen, that's great.

944
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 4: Well, not imminently. You have to wait for that one too.

945
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 4: I don't think it'll be this offseason, but maybe it's

946
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 4: a deadline maybe next off season. The Mets, I'll tell

947
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 4: you this, the Mets have some issues, the likes of

948
00:43:55,719 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 4: which schoolble alone will not solve. The Mets have some issues.

949
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 4: They go beyond one one starting pitcher. But there is time. Indeed,

950
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 4: well we can we can reconvene the Mets therapy sessions

951
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 4: really on a weekly basis. If you want all the

952
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 4: way through the fall and winter, so well, we will

953
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 4: make sure we do that after the final out of

954
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 4: this world series is recorded, which I think, by the way,

955
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 4: those that are forecasting a breezy second straight championship for

956
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,240
Speaker 4: the Dodgers, I think have not been paying close attention

957
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:27,320
Speaker 4: to the American League playoffs.

958
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 3: Smith really a depth at getting his own needs in.

959
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 3: So we we got the Mets talk in. So let's

960
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 3: let's get to the how are you two hundred and

961
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 3: fifty million dollars? Apart from Tarik school? Like anybody, they

962
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,760
Speaker 3: want to give him a dollar, he wants two hundred

963
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 3: and fifty million dollars. I mean it's not hard. I mean,

964
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 3: how are you that far away?

965
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 4: What's the quarter of a billion dollars?

966
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 3: That's right? Between friends?

967
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 4: Absolutely stopped us before, never stopped us before. But as

968
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 4: you may have surmised, I have. I have returned home

969
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:01,240
Speaker 4: from my travels there of the American League Championship Series,

970
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 4: a great series, classic classic Game seven. And by the way,

971
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 4: we are having this conversation on the fiftieth anniversary of

972
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 4: the Carlton Fiscal n Oh, Yeah, able to talk to

973
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 4: him last week about it. I felt as though this

974
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 4: was like a very long, extended postgame interview from fifty

975
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,320
Speaker 4: years ago that I was if I was on the field,

976
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 4: if they had had if I had been alive, and

977
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 4: if they had had a sideline reporters back in the day,

978
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 4: what would I have asked Fisk in that moment. So

979
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 4: that was a lot of fun. By the way, one

980
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,280
Speaker 4: of my favorite notes, and I would recommend the full podcast,

981
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 4: at some point, wrote Coopers Down, is that the production

982
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 4: team actually had to explain to Robin Williams why that

983
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 4: game was such a big deal. So obviously Matt Damon knew,

984
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 4: but they had to say, okay, Robin Williams, sit down,

985
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 4: we got to explain this. So you know, Robin had

986
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 4: the connection to the Giants and as a baseball fan,

987
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 4: but did not really know just how important that game

988
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 4: is in the lore of New England. And so that

989
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,839
Speaker 4: was my favorite detail that punch Fist told me that, Yeah,

990
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 4: they Matt David said that they had to coach up

991
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 4: Robin Williams on how important that whole game was. Had

992
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 4: to go see about a girl the whole story that

993
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 4: they had to actually coach him up on that a

994
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 4: little bit. That was probably my favorite part of the conversation.

995
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 3: But to that conversation with White Sox all the famer

996
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,240
Speaker 3: Carlton Fiska.

997
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 4: And we covered that too, We covered that part of

998
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 4: his he played for Bolt Sox, there was obviously the

999
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,839
Speaker 4: Red Sox didn't quite value him in the proper way,

1000
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 4: and then he went on and became a legend with

1001
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 4: the other color of stockings. But again, let's let's maybe

1002
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,399
Speaker 4: get back to what I was trying to say at

1003
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 4: the outset, which is I think that the Blue Jays

1004
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 4: are going to present the toughest lineups that the Dodger

1005
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 4: pitchers have had to deal with. And I also think

1006
00:46:54,760 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 4: that their rotation is in some ways a mirror image.

1007
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 4: Obviously they're all right handed, but has that same approach,

1008
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 4: a lot of splitters, a lot of power stuff. Now,

1009
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 4: Trey and Savage, what a sensation he's become as a

1010
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 4: rookie he starts Game six. I don't know how you

1011
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 4: get any more confidence to what Trey Savage has right

1012
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 4: now to be able to start an elimination game at

1013
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 4: home and and help this team deliver the win there,

1014
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 4: So I'm I am bullish on the Jays chances they

1015
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 4: may have actually stumbled into Chris Bassett is a legitimate

1016
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 4: bullpen option. After he pitches the eighth inning last night,

1017
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 4: Jeff Hoffin gets the final three outs Vladimir Guerrero Junior

1018
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 4: and ascended Starr. He's able to have a huge postseason.

1019
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 4: Springer has the big home run last night. So yeah, yes,

1020
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 4: and well I'm not going there.

1021
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 3: It's still part of our history here and with the

1022
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,720
Speaker 3: Dodgers waiting on him.

1023
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 4: Well, the Dodgers, the Dodgers v. George Springer's that's a

1024
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 4: real one. That is a real story, no question about it.

1025
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 4: And I'm sure Dodgers day we'll be ready to But

1026
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 4: I look at these two teams as being very closely matched.

1027
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 4: I still probably believe it's gonna be the Dodgers, but

1028
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 4: it's gonna be six games and not the three and

1029
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 4: a half that some people think that seems to be

1030
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 4: the possibility.

1031
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,319
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you, John Paul, we talked about this

1032
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 1: last night, so you were talking about the first big

1033
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 1: Bold predictions. While I think in the World Series, no

1034
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 1: matter how you slice it, I think the Dodgers lefties

1035
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:32,800
Speaker 1: absolutely feast in this series off of the Blue Jays pitching, Otani, Freeman, Muncie.

1036
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 3: It's gonna be like this.

1037
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: These are going to be the guys that carry the

1038
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 1: Dodgers in this World series.

1039
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think to your point that, well, first

1040
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,799
Speaker 4: of all, the Mariners had cal Raley, and now the

1041
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:47,800
Speaker 4: Dodgers have maybe not some of the hit sixty homers

1042
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 4: this year, but they've got multiple left handed threats. And

1043
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 4: I think it'll be interesting to see exactly how Dave

1044
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 4: Roberts separates those lefties out. Obviously you can go Otani one,

1045
00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 4: Freeman three and handle it from there. I you're right.

1046
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 4: I think you're gonna have to see No. One One

1047
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 4: neutralizer often is the split. The split is a neutralizing

1048
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 4: pitch from Gossman, from you Savage. Obviously, Bieber his stuff.

1049
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 4: Really I thought ticked up what you saw from there

1050
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 4: in Game seven some good sliders. So I think in

1051
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:23,439
Speaker 4: general you're right that the lefties, whether it's a young

1052
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 4: Mason flu Hardy, is gonna have to I think, have

1053
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 4: the series of his life now. He of course, back

1054
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:31,799
Speaker 4: on August the tenth truck out Otani and Bets to

1055
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 4: end the game. Which is the reason why it's the

1056
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 4: Jays and not the Dodgers with home field advantage. How

1057
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 4: about that, Mason flu Hardy, go back look at that

1058
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 4: play by play, Bass is loaded one out situation. Flu

1059
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:47,240
Speaker 4: Hardy comes in and it's Otani bets and he strikes

1060
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 4: them both out and the Jays win the game and

1061
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 4: they finished with one more win than the Dodgers this year.

1062
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 4: Pretty interesting story there. So I do think flu Hardy

1063
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,919
Speaker 4: is someone that we're going to see probably a good

1064
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 4: amount of They may actually change up a bit of

1065
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:07,359
Speaker 4: their their late inning approach, maybe one more adjustment, maybe

1066
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 4: they find a way to get Nance back on there.

1067
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 4: I do think Little is someone that they don't probably

1068
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 4: have a ton of confidence in based on what happened

1069
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,240
Speaker 4: in Seattle in Game five. But probably the biggest adjustment

1070
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,319
Speaker 4: to the roster is going to be Bobashett coming back,

1071
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 4: and I think he's probably going to be a tin

1072
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 4: shitter type. I would say that it's unlikely that you're

1073
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 4: going to see George Springer starting in the outfield right now,

1074
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 4: especially after the d situation that he went through in

1075
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 4: the ALCS. So my expectation is Springer stays in the

1076
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,760
Speaker 4: DH Row and bo is there to face Alex Vesia

1077
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 4: in a big spot.

1078
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 3: Well, and that becomes the curiosity, right, how deep can

1079
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:46,240
Speaker 3: you get into these games with the Dodger starters? Last

1080
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 3: last round wasn't look obviously the three home runs by

1081
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:55,320
Speaker 3: show Aotani in the clincher, but the offense still looking

1082
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,280
Speaker 3: to break through as a whole. But for the Dodger

1083
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 3: pitching got to a made. Dave Roberts has to go

1084
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 3: to that bingo card a little more frequently.

1085
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, and too think about just how dominant the

1086
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 4: rotation was, especially in the first two games in the

1087
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:15,760
Speaker 4: series against Milwaukee. Nell was unbelievable. Yamamoto unreal And that's

1088
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 4: the benefit. And we've been debating this since the beginning

1089
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,920
Speaker 4: of time in baseball, which is rest versus rust, and

1090
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 4: maybe at the beginning of time, but I think you

1091
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 4: get the idea of last hundred years or so, and

1092
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:32,320
Speaker 4: I think you discuss that the Dodgers. I think it

1093
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 4: will maybe be a bit of an adjustment for them

1094
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 4: where they're walking into Rogers Center and the Jays just

1095
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 4: won this emotional game they've had. They've really cranked up

1096
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 4: the whole bit advantage and now the Dodgers. After having

1097
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:50,439
Speaker 4: several days of just workouts and kind of clinching early

1098
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 4: and clinching fast against the Brewers, they've got to get

1099
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 4: right back into this super high intensity environment. So I

1100
00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 4: like the Jays chances to win one of those first

1101
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:02,400
Speaker 4: two games, even though they're going to be facing Snell

1102
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 4: and Yamamodo with the benefit of extra rest. The one

1103
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 4: thing you would say is that with Snell, the Jays

1104
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 4: did not encounter a lefty starter in the Alcs. It was,

1105
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 4: of course, alrightyes, and so I think that you know

1106
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 4: this will be again. Snell is not a generic lefty obviously,

1107
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 4: but for the righty bats in Toronto's lineup, maybe it

1108
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,879
Speaker 4: results in some better at bats, even more production from

1109
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 4: guys like Springer. Those writings are really vital to the

1110
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 4: Jay's success here in this postseason.

1111
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 1: You know, you mentioned the starting pitching, and it's something

1112
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: we've talked about the last few days where it's almost

1113
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 1: it almost reminds me this with the Dodgers and the

1114
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: Blue Jays have a bit of warning for the Dodgers

1115
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 1: of the twenty fifteen World Series, where the Mets just

1116
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 1: pitched hot knife through butter through the Cubs and then

1117
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 1: you get a.

1118
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:51,760
Speaker 3: Little bit of a bounce.

1119
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:54,280
Speaker 1: In the World Series, you defensively you're not as strong,

1120
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 1: and suddenly look at the Royals winning the World Series.

1121
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: But like, I feel like that's gonna the Dodgers can't

1122
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: expect to pitch like they did in the NLCS. They're

1123
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:03,240
Speaker 1: probably gonn get a little bit of a bounce. However,

1124
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 1: maybe they're batch starting to wake up, and I got

1125
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:08,439
Speaker 1: a sneaking suspicion they're going to just hit the crap

1126
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 1: out of the ball those first couple of games in Toronto.

1127
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's really it's a good hitting environment, good

1128
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:17,879
Speaker 4: hitting ballpark. That's but that's that's a big question, right,

1129
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:21,840
Speaker 4: is a little more unfamiliarity. They've got no familiarity with

1130
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,399
Speaker 4: your savage beyond seeing them on TV and seeing them

1131
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 4: on the video wise, So that's it's certainly now you've

1132
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 4: got the projet machines and all these different fancy things

1133
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 4: that teams can do to get even better looks at

1134
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 4: at at pitchers. But I think that when you consider

1135
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 4: the way the Dodgers have hit in this postseason you

1136
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:44,319
Speaker 4: mentioned earlier, it's not as though they've been the twenty

1137
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 4: seven Yankees is putting up all kinds of runs here

1138
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:49,720
Speaker 4: and there. They've they've been winning because they're pitching really

1139
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 4: And I think it's actually a pretty interesting comparison that

1140
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:56,360
Speaker 4: you make to the Mets Royal series because the Royals

1141
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 4: that team. First of all, they didn't have anybody offensively

1142
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 4: who was clicking quite like Laddie has been in these playoffs.

1143
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 4: But they did have a very good contact oriented team.

1144
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 4: And I think my favorite stat, you know, Buster only

1145
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 4: mentioned this, I think during the Alcs. At this point

1146
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,359
Speaker 4: in time, I believe Laddie's that six homers and two

1147
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:19,240
Speaker 4: strikeouts for the whole postseason six homers and two strikeouts.

1148
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 4: So if you've got guys that are putting the ball

1149
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 4: in play, and the Jays do a pretty good job

1150
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:26,959
Speaker 4: of that, they can bump when they have to. This

1151
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:30,439
Speaker 4: is the type of team that I believe would would

1152
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 4: give the Dodgers some fits. And I think the Dodgers,

1153
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 4: obviously they strained a bit more to win that series

1154
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 4: against the Phillies they did against the Brewers, and the

1155
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,760
Speaker 4: Phillies I think in some ways have a lineup that

1156
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 4: is a little similar to what Toronto has. But I

1157
00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 4: think in some ways Toronto's lineup is the best in

1158
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 4: a postseason setting that the Dodgers will have faced, and

1159
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 4: they're gonna have a real challenge here. I think this

1160
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 4: is going to be a very very tight series that

1161
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 4: goes at least six games, and I think there's gonna

1162
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:03,879
Speaker 4: be a lot of really fun storylines emerging. Of course,

1163
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 4: you've got Freddie Freeman, his parents are both Canadians, and

1164
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:10,439
Speaker 4: you've got that story two Taskerrnandez facing his former team.

1165
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 4: A lot of really cool notes. In addition to the

1166
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 4: fact that Boba Schet, what kind of stage will that

1167
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 4: be for him to come back ideally for the Jays

1168
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 4: into some kind of a role in the World Series.

1169
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:26,880
Speaker 4: It's gonna be special Canada hosting the World Series for

1170
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,880
Speaker 4: the first time in more than thirty years.

1171
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:33,839
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at John Morosi, That is at John

1172
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: Morosi MLB Network insider John Paul will talk to you

1173
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,840
Speaker 1: after game one and get your fearless lines picked for

1174
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: this weekend, get you back on the road to winning.

1175
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:44,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, I appreciate it that. I think I'm probably gonna

1176
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 4: have to pick the Lions to win, just as soon

1177
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 4: as I figure out who they're gonna play and the

1178
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 4: names of players and the team beyond Jared Golf. But

1179
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 4: I've only lost one, so I've been feeling pretty good

1180
00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 4: about it.

1181
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 3: That's okay. If you pick him not to lose this

1182
00:55:58,560 --> 00:55:59,959
Speaker 3: week because they have a buy, I think you're gonna

1183
00:55:59,960 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 3: be fine. You'll be fine this week. You'll be fine.

1184
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 3: To say no, way, you guarantee they won't lose this week.

1185
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 3: You guarantee it.

1186
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 4: Let's still talk baseball after the game board of the

1187
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 4: World Series.

1188
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:10,359
Speaker 2: That's great.

1189
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 4: And then.

1190
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 3: I think that's a good idea, John Paul, We'll talk

1191
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 3: to you after game one.

1192
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to it.

1193
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 3: But I like that he transited to I was like,

1194
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:20,960
Speaker 3: I was only coming out from my alliance King.

1195
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 2: I mean, what are you gonna do?

1196
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 3: Let's do baseball. A little bit of that
