President Biden has announced 10 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 2: that he has officially suspended his efforts to be re 11 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 2: elected president of the United States. We don't know where 12 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 2: we're going from here, but that's a big story that Indeed, 13 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 2: President Biden has announced that he has suspended his efforts 14 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 2: for re election. 15 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, He wrote a statement, sent it to the press, 16 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: posted it to Twitter just moments ago. Over the past 17 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: last three and a half years, we have made great 18 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: progress in a nation. He goes on to say, I 19 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: know none of this could have been done without you, 20 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: the American people. Together, we overcame a once in a 21 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: century pandemic, worst economic It continues, and we've revitalized and 22 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: strengthen our alliances. It has been the greatest honor of 23 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: my life to serve you as your president. And while 24 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 1: it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe 25 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: it is in the best interest of my party in 26 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: the country for me to stand down and focus solely 27 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of 28 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 1: the term. 29 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're not a political show, so we're not going 30 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 2: to get into the politics of it. But certainly a 31 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 2: president stepping down is a huge story. And obviously we 32 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 2: haven't heard this since LBJ decided back in nineteen sixty 33 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 2: eight to not seek reelection. So this is history in 34 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 2: the making. So just keep it here and we will 35 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 2: continue on with the updates. But again, President Biden not 36 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: seeking reelection. He is made it official in his own words. 37 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 2: All Right, quite a day in sports here, Ritchie. I 38 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: want to start off with congratulating Xanderschoffley. Prior to San 39 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 2: Diego State. He is now a double major winner. It 40 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 2: is when you think about it, there's only four majors, 41 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 2: and the greatest golfers in the world dream of winning one. 42 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 2: And I felt last night I was doing my TV 43 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 2: show up here in LA and they asked me Okay, 44 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 2: make a prediction for tomorrow, and I picked Xander, And 45 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 2: I said, the reason I'm picking Xander is is that 46 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 2: the pressure's off. 47 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: Now. 48 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: Trying to get that first one is like the real pressure. 49 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 2: But once you got one in the bag, pressure's off. 50 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 2: Shot a sixty five today. I mean, if you were 51 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 2: justin Rose and you say you're gonna shoot sixty seven, 52 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 2: or Billy Horschell shot a sixty eight today, you say 53 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 2: I'm in. 54 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 3: I'm in. 55 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: No. 56 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 2: Xander shot sixty five today to win his second major 57 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 2: of the year. It's a very short list of golfers 58 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 2: that have won two majors in the same year. We 59 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 2: have been following his career throughout obviously with his ties 60 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 2: to San Diego State, he'd been knocking on the door 61 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 2: for years. But for him to be a double major winner, 62 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 2: that's a huge story. 63 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: There, Rich, it is a huge story. And like you said, 64 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: with only four majors and everybody vying to win these 65 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: to legitimize their legacy as one of the greats in golf, 66 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: or like we know, sometimes there's one hit wonders where 67 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 1: a guy will, you know, find a way to win 68 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: a major. It was a one off weekend lucky, if 69 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: you want to call it that. I think it's definitely 70 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: an intersection where luck is involved when somebody does something 71 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: fantastic in sports, but it's not only luck, obviously, and 72 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: then sometimes it never happens again. So to be able 73 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: to have that level of success, and he's been Xander 74 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: Schoffley very successful on the PGA Tour for a very 75 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: long time now, even though he's a young golfer. To 76 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: have that level of success and then be able to 77 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: replicated another major, it it all of a sudden, It 78 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: adds to the legacy. It all of a sudden start 79 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: the conversation starts spinning, Well, how close can he get 80 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: to the greats? Because once you win a couple, people 81 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: start projecting and predicting, well, when's his third coming? You know, 82 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: win's his fourth? You know, if you do happen to 83 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: win a third and now you have three, you're starting 84 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: to land yourself into rarefied air. So this is just 85 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: potentially the beginning for a sturdy and talented and young 86 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: a golfer as Xander Schaffley. 87 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 2: Well here's the fact, and the Golf Hall of Fame, 88 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 2: every single golfer, with the exception of a couple of 89 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 2: Open champions from like the eighteen seventies. You win three majors, 90 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 2: automatic Hall of Fame and so that's where Xander Schaffley is. 91 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 2: I think he'll be there anyway. He's been a great 92 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: golfer for years. But he wins the Open Championship and 93 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 2: closing sixty five. And by the way, I found an 94 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 2: interesting So he played his final round with Justin Rose. 95 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 3: Rose had a great round. 96 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 2: You know, he's obviously he wanted to win the Open 97 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 2: Championship in the worst way. But understand this, these are 98 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 2: the two guys that have won the Olympic gold medal 99 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 2: in golf. 100 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 3: So Justin Rose. 101 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 2: When golf was brought back in twenty sixteen, and then 102 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 2: three years ago the one year postponed Tokyo Games, it 103 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 2: was Ander Schoffley that won the gold medal. So the 104 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 2: two guys, as we now are days away from the 105 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 2: opening of the Paris Olympics, the two guys in golf 106 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 2: that had actually won the gold medal were paired up 107 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 2: in the final round of the Open and they finished 108 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 2: one two. 109 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's amazing, It really is amazing. It's look, 110 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: golf is a tricky game. From one standpoint and one 111 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: standpoint only. And I firmly believe this. There's a lot 112 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: of good golfers out there. You can find them on 113 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 1: every driving range, you can find them on every country club, 114 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: you can find them, frankly, on every municipal course. There's 115 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: usually at least one really good golfer who passed through. 116 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about just good. I'm talking about 117 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: somebody who can shoot par you know, or close, and 118 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: who potentially, when you really think about it, like geez, 119 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: you know, I was out a Tory and I saw 120 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: this guy ripping up this course and he was just 121 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: going in as a as a single, and we had 122 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: a group of three, and he joined our group and 123 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: he he he roasted the south course, you know, at 124 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: Tory Pines, that's where the Farmer's Insurance Open is. But 125 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: here's the difference between a PGA golfer and a really 126 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: good or even great amateur golfer. On the PGA Tour, everybody, 127 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: not just the group that you joined as a one 128 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: off single. Everybody is watching you swing your golf club. 129 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: And those who can somehow just completely make all that 130 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: pressure vanish and can live in the moment and operate 131 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: as if they're you know, at a practice round or 132 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 1: they're at their favorite course back home and it's a 133 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: one hundred and ten yard shot to the green, and yeah, 134 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: maybe you're one stroke off the leader and you got 135 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: to sink a birdie putt from eleven feet out. But 136 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: but you're just you're just able to block all that 137 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: out and just operate the way you always have. That's 138 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: the difference. And it is such a mental game, that 139 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: is the whole banana. And if you can somehow get 140 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: there like Showfley, like you know, some of the other greats, 141 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: you know, Mickelson or Tiger of course, or Jack or 142 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: Arnie like well, those are guys who are mentally stronger 143 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: than everybody else in the field when they were playing. 144 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 3: You mentioned Tiger Woods. 145 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 2: And during this week, as Tiger got ready to play 146 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 2: in the Open Championship, Colin Montgomery, the always controversial Klin Montgomery, 147 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 2: who won a total of zero major championships in his career, 148 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 2: came out and said going into this Open that watching 149 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 2: Tiger play now is very sad and that he needs 150 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 2: to step away. He needs to step away, he needs 151 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 2: to you know, he can't play at that level anymore. 152 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 2: And Tiger was told of this and responded, and again 153 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 2: this was before the tournament that well, first of all, 154 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 2: as an Open champion, which Colin is not, I am 155 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 2: free to play in this Open up until the age 156 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 2: of sixty, and he wants to do so. 157 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: Well. 158 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 2: As we know, he once again was non competitive, did 159 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 2: not even come close to making the cut. The one 160 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 2: thing is this is the first year in four years 161 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,079 Speaker 2: that he actually played in all four majors. He made 162 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 2: the cut at the Masters, ended up finishing the last 163 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 2: dead last of all those that actually made the cut, 164 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 2: and then he missed the cut at the PGA US 165 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 2: Open and the Open Championship. I kept saying this years 166 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 2: ago that I never envisioned Tiger as a guy that 167 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 2: just would be a ceremonial guy. Arnold Palmer did that 168 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 2: Jack to a lesser extent. When Jack really started to 169 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 2: fall off, he finally decided I've had enough. 170 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 3: I never thought Tiger was going to be that. 171 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, he's got a billion dollars, he could 172 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 2: do anything, but the idea of just showing up for 173 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 2: the majors and never playing any other golf tournaments. When 174 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 2: these courses are set up for such you know, the 175 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 2: extreme Golf test that being a major championship. 176 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 3: Does that How does that sit with you? 177 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 2: Do you say to yourself, well, I like just to 178 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 2: see him out on the course. I'm gonna you know, savor, 179 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 2: you know the idea that that's Tiger Woods, if not 180 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 2: the greatest, one of the two greatest golfers in the 181 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 2: history of the game. Or do you say to yourself, 182 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 2: I've seen enough. He needs to step aside. How do 183 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 2: you feel about that? 184 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: It's so funny that you brought this up and asked 185 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: that question this way, because I wrote a tweet about 186 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: this yesterday and I've been thinking about it a lot, 187 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: because a lot of people have talked about how Tiger 188 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: Woods should retire. In fact, Colin Montgomery, who's a Scottish golfer, 189 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: uh you know, and and spoke out publicly about this 190 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: before the tournament began, and Tiger kind of snapped back 191 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: at him. He was like, well, Colin, he doesn't he 192 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: doesn't have an exemption until he's sixty. I do. Because 193 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: he's never won the Open Championship. I did. So Colin 194 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,719 Speaker 1: can't make that decision, but I can. And so it 195 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: was a little snippy. It was a little snappy, but 196 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: so was Collin's remarks. 197 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, well Colin has been known to do that, by 198 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 2: the way. So no love loss between Tiger and Colin Montgomery. 199 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: No, No, certainly not. Here's my thoughts. I watch golf 200 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: for Tiger. I know I'm more interested in golf because 201 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: of Tiger. I started watching golf because of Tiger in 202 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: the first place. I am supportive of Tiger. Whether he 203 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: is on top of the leaderboard on a Sunday at 204 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: the Masters, or he's shoot plus fifteen and twenty five 205 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,439 Speaker 1: shots off the leader on a Friday or a Saturday, 206 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: I don't care. I'll continue watching him. And and you know, 207 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: I think it's it's very easy for many of us 208 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: to to try to project ourselves in that situation. It's 209 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: easy for us to imagine if we were Tiger. It's 210 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: very hard to actually be Tiger Woods and actually see 211 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: your skills diminishing as a result of injuries or hardships 212 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: that you faced over the course of your very long 213 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: life in front of the public eye. I mean, this 214 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: guy has been famous since he's three years old. He's 215 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: into his forties now, you know, so he's he's one 216 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: of these figures who's had to deal with a lot, 217 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: and he's had to deal with it all on the 218 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: front page of the sports section and sometimes on the 219 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: front page of the news, And so you think you 220 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: could make this decision, but you actually have no idea 221 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: because you haven't You haven't walked a mile on is shoes. 222 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: You don't understand what it's like when you've tasted greatness 223 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: and now you're falling back to the mortal realm. It's 224 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: impossible to describe how disappointing that must be. I felt 225 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: it in a much smaller way. I was never as 226 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,959 Speaker 1: big of an athlete as Tiger Woods. I was never 227 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: as great at my sport as Tiger was, But I 228 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: know what it feels like to lay down the sword 229 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: once and for all. When I retired from football, or 230 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: really when the sport retired me, it was one of 231 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: the one of the worst feelings I've ever felt in 232 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: my life. It was like grieving the loss of somebody 233 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: I loved more than anybody I've ever met. And that's 234 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: the reality of sport. You commit your life to something 235 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: that literally guides and shapes you from the time you 236 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: were young until you have to say goodbye to it 237 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: forever it's like losing a parent. In some cases, it's 238 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: worse because maybe you love sports more than you love 239 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: your parents. I'm I mean, there's not everybody's upbringings all 240 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: that great. Maybe sports is what saved your life. So 241 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: for Tiger Woods, how many times has golf been there 242 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: when nobody else feels like nobody else in the world 243 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: has been there for you? And you're gonna tell him 244 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: to retire, You're gonna tell him win. Enough's enough. I'm sorry. 245 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: That's a Tiger Woods decision, and I'm supportive of it. 246 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 2: I agree with you one hundred percent on that. I mean, 247 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,839 Speaker 2: he can play as long as he wants. By the way, 248 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 2: over the last ten years, in twenty four major tournament 249 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 2: starts his last twenty four, he has either missed the 250 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 2: cut or withdrawn in fourteen of the twenty four over 251 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 2: the last ten years. So I mean he did have 252 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 2: his miracle run to win that Masters. Obviously in twenty nineteen, 253 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 2: we can savor the moment. I think after winning that Masters, 254 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 2: at the post tournament press conference, he made it clear 255 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 2: to everyone it doesn't mean I'm back. It means that 256 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,839 Speaker 2: everything worked out for me today to put on this 257 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 2: green jacket one last time, so we'll see how all 258 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 2: plays out. The other side story quickly was, of course 259 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 2: Rory McElroy coming off the devastating finish at the US Open. 260 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 3: How would he react? 261 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 2: His score was as bad as Tigers and he had 262 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 2: made a very quick exit from this Open championship. So 263 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 2: Xander Shoffley a double major winner doesn't happen a lot. 264 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 2: Tiger used to do it on almost a regular basis, 265 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 2: but for the mere Mortals. 266 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 3: It is quite an accomplishment. All Right, we got a 267 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 3: lot to talk about today. 268 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 2: By the way, later on the show, Rich, We're gonna 269 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 2: have John Paul Morosi join us live from Cooperstown. It 270 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 2: is Baseball Hall of Fame Induction day, so he will 271 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 2: join us live from Cooperstown. We'll also get into NFL football. 272 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 2: Dare I say we are eleven days away. 273 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 3: From the Hall of Fame game, I mean two weeks 274 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 3: away from the Hall of Fame. 275 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: Tame we made it. 276 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 3: I mean we are getting so close. 277 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 2: But on the other side, I want to get to 278 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 2: the countdown to the start of the Olympics.

And I said 320 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 2: this yesterday, and I know I've said it in the 321 00:16:54,800 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 2: past when we talk about athletes that compete in the 322 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 2: Olympic Games, and I'm specifically talking about the Summer Games, 323 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 2: not the Winter Games. 324 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 3: Sure, there are three sports. 325 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:14,120 Speaker 2: In my opinion, whose athletes in those sports their careers 326 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,120 Speaker 2: are defined by what they do in the Olympics. Track 327 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 2: and field, swimming, and gymnastics. Those are the three sports 328 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 2: that I see in the Summer Games, where the athletes 329 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 2: that compete their careers are defined by what they did 330 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:37,719 Speaker 2: in the Olympics. Sports where it doesn't have any baron 331 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 2: includes basketball, right, So we've had NBA players competing in 332 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 2: the Olympics since the Dream Team of nineteen ninety two. 333 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 2: Let me give you an example about defining a career 334 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 2: Carmelo Anthony. You look back at Carmelo Anthony's career, he 335 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 2: had his one great freshman year leading Syracuse to a 336 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 2: national championship. His NBA career is defined by two things. 337 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 2: He scored a lot of points, and he never won 338 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 2: a championship. And if your argument is who whoa, whoa whoa, 339 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 2: he won three Olympic gold medals, that gets a big yawn. 340 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,360 Speaker 2: In fact, do we even remember from year to year 341 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 2: who's actually on the Olympic team in terms of the 342 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 2: NBA stars. Maybe in four when they blew it lost 343 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,239 Speaker 2: three games during those Olympics and walked away with a 344 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 2: bronze medal. We remember that. So for me, when I 345 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 2: look at NBA players competing Olympics, you have really nothing 346 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 2: to gain and everything to lose. 347 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 3: And yesterday, watching our. 348 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 2: Well the oldest Olympic team ever assembled by Team USA 349 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 2: have to go down the wire against South Sedan to 350 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 2: hang on for a one point victory is not probably 351 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 2: a good omen for the upcoming games. I called for 352 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 2: the immediate firing. 353 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 3: A Steve Kerr. You know I feel about Steve Kurbridge, 354 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 3: you know, I mean. 355 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 2: He'd find smug and for him to actually I didn't 356 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 2: even see his composed game comments till later in the 357 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 2: day when he said I think this was good for us. 358 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 2: It was a wake up call. And I'm like, really 359 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 2: a wake up call. You're less than a week away 360 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 2: from the Olympics and you're forced to play Lebron James 361 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 2: to the final minute to hang on for a victory 362 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 2: against South Sudan. So let me ask you this. Let's 363 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 2: be honest. When you watched this game, I take you 364 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 2: to watch it. I did, Who are you rooting for 365 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 2: at the end of that game? 366 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: Well, it's so funny that you mentioned that, because sports, boy, 367 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: are they a tricky tricky thing? Because I, one hundred percent, 368 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 1: because of my national pride, was rooting and was happy 369 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: for the United States victory. There's no question about it. However, 370 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: because of what I am as a sports watcher and 371 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: what I know as a form professional athlete, how hard 372 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 1: it is to get that shot and to put yourself 373 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: in position to, you know, potentially break through and the 374 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: sacrifice and all the things like this would have been 375 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: the greatest victory hands down for any of these players 376 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: in their entire life, had they pulled it off. And 377 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: just knowing, just knowing that watching this game, even though 378 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 1: ultimately does it, does it really matter. I mean, I guess, 379 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: I guess not. It's not for the Olympic gold. I mean, 380 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: it could be a forgettable footnote in the history of 381 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 1: Olympic sports. But for them it would undeniably be the 382 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: biggest win of all their basketball lives. And so there 383 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 1: was a piece of me that was like, boy, I'll 384 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: tell you what I think. I'd be happy with whatever 385 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: result comes out of this. 386 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 3: Forty three point hundred dogs. 387 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. 388 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 2: Can you imagine if you had bet the money line 389 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 2: and they had won? Well, I mean one right, what 390 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 2: it had to be right money line? I would be 391 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 2: working here the next day. I wouldn't huh, I said, 392 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 2: I would not be working here the next day, Yeah, 393 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 2: I mean i'd be. 394 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 3: I would imagine the money line rich, I mean, it 395 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 3: had to be what one hundred and one? 396 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: I would imagine. So, and if you bet. 397 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 3: Like a thousand dollars on one hundred and one and 398 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 3: walk away with a hundred grand I think it'd be 399 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 3: more than one hundred to one. 400 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 2: It would be, by the way, if I if I 401 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 2: did have Sedan on that the final sequence with the misshot, 402 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 2: the two players from Sadan actually start of bumping in 403 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 2: each other for the initial rebound, and then the the 404 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 2: guy from Sadan gets his hands on the ball and 405 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 2: he starts to go up and he gets hacked. 406 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 3: At the end of that game, what's the replay? He 407 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 3: got hacked, but they waved it off. Think of a 408 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 3: game over game over USA, USA, I would have gone nuts. 409 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 1: Oh my god. I'll tell you. One of the one 410 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: of the things that I do believe in sports, though, 411 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 1: is being hum is a very important part of the 412 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: process being humbled. Look, you talk to any prize fighter, 413 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: I mean any prize fighter, They've gotten their ass kicked, 414 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,360 Speaker 1: There's no question about it. I mean even Floyd Madweather, 415 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: who never lost a fight, He'll tell you about some 416 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: whoopings that he's taken over the course of his life. 417 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 1: Because you can't be a great boxer and not get 418 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: your head kicked in every once in a while. I mean, 419 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 1: same thing with football players, same thing with baseball players, 420 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: and certainly the same thing with basketball players and it 421 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: being a team sport, those beatings they're a little bit different, right, 422 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: It does sort of sometimes, especially when you're a good 423 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 1: team and you get beaten by a far inferior team, 424 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: sometimes it feels like a calamity of errors. Like sometimes 425 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: it feels like, well, anything that could have gone wrong 426 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: did go wrong. It's Murphy's law, right, and so occasionally 427 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: the right constellation of missed opportunities or regrettable moments adds 428 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: up to be a loss. In this case for the 429 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: Team USA. They ultimately prevailed. But I do believe what 430 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 1: Steve Kerr said when he said, hey, you know, this 431 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: is good for us, because I do think that Team 432 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: USA needs to understand a little humility heading into the 433 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: Olympic Games because the world's catching up. I'm not saying 434 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: that a forty three point underdog should have any chance 435 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: to beat Team USA, but I should say the NBA 436 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: has made basketball and international sport. They have opened the 437 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 1: doors to welcome in draft picks from the far reaches 438 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: of the planet, and as a result, there are young 439 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: kids in every neighborhood around the world who are thinking, 440 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: maybe I could play in the NBA too. And when 441 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: that's the case, if you're going to show up on 442 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 1: an Olympic floor, you better be ready for some talented 443 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: basketball players because they can come at they can come 444 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: from anywhere now and it's a result of you know, 445 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: some of that whatever you want to call it greed 446 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: or generosity on display from the NBA trying to shepherd 447 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 1: in a new era of international basketball and they've successfully 448 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: done so. 449 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 2: All right, let's find out what is trending right now 450 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 2: as we welcome in the Legend Thereselve Moncey Belanios is here. 451 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 3: Hi, Monsy, how are you hi? 452 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: Guys now? 453 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 6: Yes, hello, Hello, some big news on this Sunday, right, 454 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 6: you mean the Brewers and the Twins, spotless and a 455 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 6: lot of the second. 456 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: Emails, weld spoilt.

The Nationals 509 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 6: are beating the Reds two to one top of the 510 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 6: fourth inning. The Phillies are blanking the Pirates to zero. 511 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 6: Top of the fourth. The Cardinals have hit three homers. 512 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 6: Paul Goldschmidt, Alec Burlison and Lars and Noukebar have homers, 513 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 6: so they're beating the Braves three to one. 514 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 8: Top of the fifth inning. 515 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 6: The Razor up on the Yankees and the Bronx one zero. 516 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 8: Bottom of the third. 517 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 6: The Blue Jays are beating the Tigers three zero, bottom 518 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 6: of the fourth because George Springer has homework twice for Toronto. 519 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 6: The Padres are beating the Guardians to zero top of 520 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 6: the fourth inning as well. 521 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 8: Back to you guys. 522 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 3: All right, Monzie, thank you very much. We will check 523 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 3: in with you a little bit later on. 524 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 2: Steve Harbin and Rich Ornberg here Fox Sports a Sunday. 525 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 3: All right, I wanted to. 526 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 2: I wanted to get to a story Rich, you know 527 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 2: coming up in the Olympics in twenty twenty eight, with 528 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 2: the games coming to Los Angeles, We're going to be introduced. 529 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 3: To flag football at the Olympics. 530 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 2: And I saw that Mike Florio posted a story in 531 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 2: Pro Football Talk talking about the NFL getting really behind 532 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 2: flag football, and basically gist of the story was, where 533 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 2: are they going with this? The Pro Bowl is already 534 00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:01,959 Speaker 2: a flag football game. The NFL is facing lawsuits up 535 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 2: to the tune of about fourteen billion dollars for paying 536 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 2: off those that have been injured playing this sport. If 537 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 2: flag football becomes all the rage, because men, women, everybody 538 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 2: can play flag football, and obviously the health risk are 539 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 2: far less than they are in tackle football. And he said, yeah, 540 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 2: maybe this is the NFL's way of getting ahead of 541 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 2: the games, saying it's not gonna happen this Year's not 542 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 2: gonna happen five years from now, but twenty. 543 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 3: Years from now, thirty years from now. 544 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 2: I was sort of talking to everybody here in the 545 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 2: building yesterday saying, there's two things are going to happen 546 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 2: in your lifetime. 547 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 3: Because everyone's much younger than me. 548 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 2: One we're gonna have human beings walking on Mars, and 549 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 2: two you're gonna see the elimination. 550 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 3: Of tackle football. 551 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 2: Do you think we'll ever get to that point where 552 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 2: the NFL will abandon tackling and be able to survive. 553 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: No, no, I I never say never. I can't see it. 554 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: Though I'm not saying it won't happen, but I can't 555 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: see a way where you are going to, essentially, in 556 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: my opinion, euthanize the sport. I think the death of 557 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: football will be the day you take the violent aspect 558 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: out of football. I think our culture appreciates gladiators. I 559 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: think our culture, our culture appreciates combat combatants who are 560 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: risking more than just what you know, being out of breath, 561 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: maybe getting a side stitch, maybe having you know, I 562 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: don't be wrong, you could get severely injured in flag football, 563 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: you know, non contact injuries, ACL's, achilles tears. All those 564 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: things can happen of course in flag football too. But 565 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: it isn't it interesting? How you know? Boxing used to 566 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: be the United States most popular sport at a time. 567 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: Now NFL is the United States most popular sport. People 568 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: love seeing somebody take real risks with their life to 569 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: do something that pulls them out of I don't know, 570 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: ordinary circumstances to become superstars. I think it's I think 571 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: it's the Cinderella story that everybody enjoys hearing when when 572 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: there's a little bit of skin in the game, when 573 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: there's a little bit of blood on the line, people 574 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: seem to perk up a little bit more. And I 575 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: think it's because it's almost ancestral. I think that we 576 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: come from a breed of human being. If you trace 577 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: back our earliest footsteps to when we were living in 578 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: caves and chasing people away with sharpened sticks so that 579 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 1: we protect our cave of from invade, and then civilizations 580 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: we are a warring people. Everybody on this planet was 581 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: birthed from warring people who made insane sacrifices over the 582 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 1: course of their life to get to the generation we're 583 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: currently in. I think it's baked into our DNA. We 584 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: appreciate warfare because we see it as a necessity at 585 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: a primitive level. So I think if you defang the NFL, 586 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: if you take away the violent aspect of the NFL, 587 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: the tackling aspect of the NFL, I think it will 588 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: shortly after that it'll regress. It will not be the 589 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: monstrosity it is anymore, and people will turn their attention elsewhere. 590 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 1: That's what I feel. 591 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 2: I would I would tend to lean in your direction, 592 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 2: but let's not lose sight of the fact that what 593 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 2: really built this sport to the mega force it is 594 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 2: is the gambling aspect of the sport. 595 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 3: There's no question about it. 596 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 2: Oh, it's huge yea, and funds you take, So what 597 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 2: really drives the sport for people in general? We often 598 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 2: say that maybe half the people that say they are 599 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 2: totally devoted to the NFL are really devoted to the 600 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 2: gambling aspect of the game more than any individual team. 601 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 2: You know, I dare say, I don't know what the 602 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 2: percentages are, but a large percentage of people that you 603 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 2: know term themselves NFL fans are more connected to their 604 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 2: fantasy football team than any actual team in the NFL. 605 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 2: So if the gambling aspect of the game does not change, 606 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 2: you're still playing games, You're still betting on games, You're 607 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 2: still gambling on games. Does that lessen the interest in 608 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 2: the sport? It's hard for me to say. I mean, 609 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 2: for you that you know, put your life on the line, 610 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 2: and I always feel about anybody that steps on a field, 611 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 2: especially at the NFL level, it's madness. But if that 612 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 2: aspect of the game does and change now, I mean, look, 613 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 2: I'm an old school guy. I mean, it would be 614 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 2: impossible for me to accept a sport of American football 615 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 2: without the physical side of it. I mean on a 616 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 2: personal level. But I don't know if that's the case 617 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 2: for everybody. 618 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, the game. 619 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 2: We've already complained for those to remember a much more 620 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 2: violent NFL than it is today, that they've softened the sport, 621 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 2: and yet in softening the sport, protecting the quarterbacks and 622 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 2: making all these measures to make the game safer, it 623 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 2: hasn't lessened the appeal of the sport. 624 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 3: No, and the sport continues to grow in popularity. 625 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: But let me look that there have been sacrifices in 626 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: terms of the amount of violence in the NFL, There's 627 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 1: no question about it. But you also realize that those 628 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 1: sacrifices only come when there is a cultural movement toward 629 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: demonizing the violence of the sport. I don't I look, 630 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 1: even with the popularity of flag football, I think there 631 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 1: would be it would be there would be more of 632 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: a push toward flag football being a companion league, not 633 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 1: unlike you know, say the UFL, you know, call it 634 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: the I don't know, the FFFL, you know, the Flag 635 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: Football League. Like it's to me that that makes more 636 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: sense to me to have it as a companion league, 637 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:35,479 Speaker 1: as a softer, less violent viewership experience for those who 638 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: find the violence of the NFL distasteful. And I bet 639 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 1: you the NFL would have a nice big piece of that, 640 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 1: or many of the owners would have, you know, purchased 641 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: a fantasy or a Flag football League team if that 642 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 1: that was ever something that grew enough in popularity to 643 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: you know, earn a share of viewership on television or 644 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: you know, have the ability to fill stadiums or smaller 645 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 1: stadiums at first, and maybe graduate to larger venues. I 646 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: could see that, but I can't see the NFL completely disappearing. 647 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 1: Like I said, never say never. You know a lot 648 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,800 Speaker 1: of things change in a hurry. We had the breaking 649 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: news at the top of the show that for the 650 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 1: first time in jeez, what is. 651 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:21,359 Speaker 3: Its nineteen sixty eight? 652 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 1: Sixty years? Is it? 653 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 3: Yeah? 654 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 1: I guess sixty years, we see a president stepping down, 655 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 1: not running for re election. You know, so anything's possible. 656 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 1: I'm not saying, but I do feel like people look 657 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: Taylor Swift. Okay, for everybody who says Taylor Swift is 658 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,839 Speaker 1: doing so much for football, how about what football is 659 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,320 Speaker 1: doing to Taylor Swift. I mean, Taylor Swift is dating, 660 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 1: inarguably one of the greatest tight ends who ever played 661 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 1: the game, and she's at Chiefs game, chugging beers, you know, 662 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 1: watching the gladiatorial sport. You know, it even has Taylor 663 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,400 Speaker 1: Swift's stamp of approval. You know what I'm saying. I 664 00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 1: don't think the violent nature of the game is going anywhere. 665 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 1: I just don't. Now, I'm not saying it can't, but 666 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 1: I personally don't see it going anywhere all right. 667 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 2: On the other side, we'll continue on with our NFL 668 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 2: talk because yes we are days a little over a 669 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:12,759 Speaker 2: week away from the. 670 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 3: Hall of Fame game. 671 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 2: So once again we explore the unknown in terms of 672 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 2: teams on the rise that nobody are talking about. And 673 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 2: I've got a team that I guarantee. 674 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 3: You nobody's talking about, but I am. 675 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 2: We'll tell you who that is. So we'll filed from 676 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 2: Rich as well who he thinks may rise from the ashes. 677 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,840 Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Sunday, Steve Harbin and rich Uberg. 678 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,160 Speaker 2: Here Fox Sports Sunday. We're live from the Tairaq dot 679 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 2: Com studios. Later on, John Palm Morosi's gonna join us 680 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 2: live from Cooper's Down Hall of Fame Induction Day and JP, 681 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll give us the full report coming up 682 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,879 Speaker 2: a little bit later on in this show. We don't 683 00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:59,840 Speaker 2: have a lot of time here before the top of 684 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,439 Speaker 2: the so this may go for a while, but we 685 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 2: know every single year, and it's not just a team, there's. 686 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 3: Usually two or three teams. 687 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 2: I mean, I'll give you two examples last year obvious examples. 688 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 3: One was the Houston Texas. 689 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,959 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, at this time a year ago, 690 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 2: if you had said the Houston Texans, with a new 691 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 2: coach and a rookie quarterback, we're going. 692 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 3: To make the playoffs, what are he's smoking? 693 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:23,319 Speaker 1: Like? 694 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 2: There's no chance that that team is going to make 695 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,839 Speaker 2: the playoffs. And the team that I predicted would be 696 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 2: the worst team in the NFL last year was the 697 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:36,279 Speaker 2: Rams and they made the playoffs. And and by the way, 698 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 2: I know a Ram player that pretty much assured me 699 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 2: before the season began that the likelihood of them making 700 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 2: the playoffs was next to zero because again, they had 701 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 2: used so much money to win a Super Bowl and 702 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 2: now they had to pay back. 703 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:52,840 Speaker 3: But you know, Kyra. 704 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,720 Speaker 2: Williams becomes a Pro Bowl running back, Puka Nakuaz breaking 705 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 2: all kinds of working way. 706 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,360 Speaker 3: You don't see these things coming. 707 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 2: So I have a team and it cemented me when 708 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 2: I saw a Pro Football Focus. 709 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 3: Are you a PFF fan? Rich? 710 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 1: I am, and I'm kind of converted. So yeah, at 711 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 1: first I was thinking to myself, you know, how could 712 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: they do what they're claiming to do. But after meeting 713 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 1: many people or speaking with I don't know how many 714 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:23,800 Speaker 1: of them, I've met in person, but spoke with many 715 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 1: of them over the years, whether it be interviewing or 716 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,279 Speaker 1: just private conversations or direct messaging and all that type 717 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 1: of stuff. You realize what painstaking work goes into spitting 718 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,320 Speaker 1: out these stats. A lot, and I mean a lot 719 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 1: of human work. These aren't things that can really be 720 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:47,240 Speaker 1: done with artificial intelligence yet because there's so much gray area. 721 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 1: I am a fan of and I often do use 722 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,440 Speaker 1: pro football focused stats. 723 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,240 Speaker 3: HI so PFF and this was I believe. 724 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,840 Speaker 2: Back in May, they did a rundown of all the 725 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 2: quarterbacks in the NFL and by tier right and so 726 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 2: alone on tier one was Patrick Mahomes as well he 727 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 2: should be. Then they had three quarterbacks and tier two 728 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 2: they had Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, and Josh Allen. And 729 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,480 Speaker 2: then they continued all the way to the end, bringing 730 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:21,759 Speaker 2: up the rear at number thirty two. Worst quarterback situation 731 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 2: in the NFL Jared Stidham, Zach Wilson, Denver Broncos. Hard 732 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 2: to argue with that, but then the Denver Broncos draft 733 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 2: Bo Nicks. And I'm making a bold prediction. I make 734 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:46,720 Speaker 2: a lot of bold predictions, rarely true, but this time 735 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 2: I believe I'm onto something. Bownicks is not your normal 736 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 2: rookie quarterback. He's a five year starter at the highest level, 737 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,959 Speaker 2: three years at Auburn, two at Oregon, and he's twenty 738 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 2: four years old. And the reason Russell Wilson is no 739 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,879 Speaker 2: longer in Denver is that Sean Payton did not. 740 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,359 Speaker 3: Want Russell Wilson right. 741 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 2: He wants his own guy to take over the reins 742 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 2: of that Denver Broncos team, and he has the power 743 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 2: to do really whatever he wants for the Broncos. Now 744 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 2: we're up against it with the top of the clock, 745 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,720 Speaker 2: but I'm gonna explain why there is a team out there, 746 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,279 Speaker 2: and you know which team I'm talking about right now, 747 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,480 Speaker 2: it's going to shock the world and it's going to 748 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:32,280 Speaker 2: be that team that everyone says has no chance zero 749 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 2: of making the postseason. But yes, Denver Bronco fans, you 750 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,319 Speaker 2: are going to be excited in my reasoning. On the 751 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 2: other side, keep it right here much more coming up 752 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:46,160 Speaker 2: a busy day. This is Fox Sports Sunday, rolling along 753 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,800 Speaker 2: here on this historic Sunday. 754 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:50,400 Speaker 3: It's Fox Sports Sunday. 755 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,600 Speaker 2: We're broadcasting live from the tyrack dot Com studios tyrid 756 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,279 Speaker 2: dot Com we're gonna have get you there, and I'm 757 00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,799 Speaker 2: Matt's selection. Fast reshipping, free road ass of protection over 758 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 2: ten thousand recommended in Stollers tire rack dot com the 759 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 2: way tire buying should be. So obviously, the biggest story 760 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 2: of the day is President Biden stepping out of the race. 761 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,360 Speaker 2: I know a lot of people are saying, well, now what, Well, 762 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,400 Speaker 2: he had secured all those delegates through the primaries, and 763 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 2: now they are released, they're free to go to any 764 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:23,319 Speaker 2: candidate they want. President of course, has endorsed his vice 765 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 2: president Kamala Harris, but that doesn't necessarily give her the nomination. 766 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 2: So there's gonna be some interesting things coming up here 767 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,600 Speaker 2: with the Democratic Convention coming. 768 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 3: Up next month and the election of course in November. 769 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,480 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, on the sports front, the Hall of Fame game 770 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:45,440 Speaker 2: is Thursday, August first, and we're getting ready for it. 771 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 3: There's no question about that. 772 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,400 Speaker 2: Texans taking on the Bears should be a very interesting matchup. 773 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,919 Speaker 2: Early on, a lot of focus on Caleb Williams being 774 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:58,760 Speaker 2: the number one overall. Pick a little sidebar question for you, Rich, sure, 775 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 2: because we talked about Iberflus being the favorite, he's the 776 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,400 Speaker 2: favorite to be coach of the year. He's also the 777 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 2: favorite to not survive after this season. Yeah, it's really 778 00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 2: a weird dynamic. 779 00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 1: Two things, two things can be true at the same time. Yeah, 780 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 1: if so that Eberflu saves this situation. He's obviously one 781 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,880 Speaker 1: of the better coaches in the NFL. And if what 782 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:27,000 Speaker 1: we think could or potentially inevitably will happen, which is 783 00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,239 Speaker 1: the Bears struggle mightily with a rookie quarterback like a 784 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,279 Speaker 1: lot of teams with rookie quarterbacks do well, then he'll 785 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:34,439 Speaker 1: lose his job most likely. 786 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, so he's the favorite on both of 787 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 3: those lists so. 788 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:39,239 Speaker 1: Far. 789 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,280 Speaker 3: Extreme. So that's where we are in the NFL. 790 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:45,400 Speaker 2: Every single year we have to sort of predict who's 791 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 2: going to be better, who's going to be worse, And 792 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,160 Speaker 2: in my case, it always seems to be the opposite. 793 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,520 Speaker 2: Every time I think it's going to get worse, gets better, 794 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,640 Speaker 2: and who's gonna get better is gonna get worse. But 795 00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:03,239 Speaker 2: sometimes we talk about addition through subtraction. The last time 796 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 2: that Russell Wilson was bid farewell by a team is 797 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,839 Speaker 2: when the Seahawks dealt him to the Denver Broncos. And 798 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 2: after that and Drew Locke came in to Seattle, most 799 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,400 Speaker 2: people said it's going to be a rough here for 800 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,399 Speaker 2: Seattle anything. They're fighting for the number one overall pick 801 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 2: in the draft to find their quarterback of the future. 802 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 2: But instead they signed Gino Smith, who I didn't even 803 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,360 Speaker 2: know was still playing in the NFL. I'll be perfectly, 804 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 2: I did not know that Gino was even still sniffing 805 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:35,759 Speaker 2: around the NFL, but he was. 806 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 3: And what happened. 807 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,440 Speaker 2: Not only did the Seahawks not have the worst team 808 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:44,399 Speaker 2: in the NFL, they made the playoffs. And so now 809 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:50,240 Speaker 2: another team has cast Russell Wilson a drift. Fooled once, 810 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,799 Speaker 2: I'm not going to be fooled again. The Denver Broncos, 811 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,480 Speaker 2: when you look at them on paper, are not good. 812 00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:00,480 Speaker 1: They're not good at all. 813 00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,800 Speaker 2: And right now Bo Nicks, the rookie out of Oregon, 814 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 2: is listed as their number one quarterback over Jared Stidham 815 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:08,040 Speaker 2: and Zach Wilson. 816 00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:09,439 Speaker 3: It doesn't make sense. 817 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,799 Speaker 2: They haven't made many personnel moves, but not only did 818 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,400 Speaker 2: they jettison Russell Wilson, they also got rid of the 819 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:18,239 Speaker 2: gross underachiever Jerry Judy as well. The rest of the 820 00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 2: team is pretty much intact, but I think about what 821 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,840 Speaker 2: happened last year rich Not only did they start the 822 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,320 Speaker 2: year zero to three, they gave up seventy points in 823 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:30,120 Speaker 2: that third game. They went to one and five, and 824 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:31,920 Speaker 2: the next thing you know, they won six of their 825 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,399 Speaker 2: next seven games before losing three of their last four. 826 00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,439 Speaker 2: The way that Sean Payton held that team together when 827 00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:43,240 Speaker 2: it looked like it was going to be completely cave in, obviously, 828 00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,960 Speaker 2: it says a lot about a proven coach like Sean Payton. 829 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,719 Speaker 2: He just needs to get the quarterback he wants in there. 830 00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 2: He's going to take bow Knicks under his wing and 831 00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,439 Speaker 2: Bownicks is not your normal rookie. He's had five full 832 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 2: years at the highest level in college football, and what 833 00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,440 Speaker 2: he did last year at Oregon very impressive. He has 834 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:04,120 Speaker 2: the ability not only to throw the ball accurately. His 835 00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 2: completion percentage was out of sight, nearing eighty percent for 836 00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:12,560 Speaker 2: the year, but he can run. He's an athlete. I think, then, 837 00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:15,280 Speaker 2: I look at this AFC West. The Chiefs are the Chiefs, Okay, 838 00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,760 Speaker 2: no one's obviously going to touch them. But the Raiders 839 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:22,240 Speaker 2: right now Aiden O'Connell, Gardner Minshew sort of a middle 840 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:23,480 Speaker 2: of the road team. 841 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:25,520 Speaker 3: The Chargers. I've said this before. 842 00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:29,080 Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh will finanswers, He'll build the Chargers into winner. 843 00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,120 Speaker 3: Eventually. They have too many holes. 844 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:35,120 Speaker 2: Right now, I think the Broncos can assent to second 845 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:39,280 Speaker 2: place in the AFC West, and with the coach Sean 846 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:43,560 Speaker 2: Payton in charge, with the defense that was vastly improved 847 00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,600 Speaker 2: by years and last year, and a young quarterback that 848 00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,600 Speaker 2: he can truly mold into the quarterback he wants. 849 00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,759 Speaker 3: I'm putting it on right now. The Denver Broncos are 850 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,800 Speaker 3: going to sneak in as a wild card in twenty 851 00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:57,439 Speaker 3: twenty four. 852 00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:01,279 Speaker 1: What do you think of that? Well, listen, what do 853 00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 1: I think of it? I think that it is as 854 00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:10,840 Speaker 1: likely as what we saw Houston do last year, Okay, 855 00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,320 Speaker 1: which is to say highly unlikely. 856 00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:18,399 Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, So here I have some reasoning though, Yeah you. 857 00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,600 Speaker 1: Did, and I appreciate you walking us through the tangled 858 00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:28,200 Speaker 1: web to lead you to this place. Here's the reality 859 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,360 Speaker 1: of this situation. The reason why it was so exciting 860 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:35,080 Speaker 1: to see what CJ. Stroud was doing is because of 861 00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:39,280 Speaker 1: how rare it is is, because it doesn't happen very often. 862 00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:43,360 Speaker 1: In fact, it's something just north of thirty five percent. 863 00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:47,400 Speaker 1: Maybe it hovers around thirty seven actual first round drafted 864 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:52,880 Speaker 1: quarterback rookies pan out to even be franchise quarterbacks. Okay, 865 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:58,600 Speaker 1: that's just a franchise guy, you know. Okay, Jimmy Garoppolo 866 00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,320 Speaker 1: might be on that list. Kirk might be on that list. 867 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:05,000 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott might be on that list. You know, just guys, 868 00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,560 Speaker 1: guys who have anchored franchises. Haven't won Super Bowls, but 869 00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:12,560 Speaker 1: who have anchored franchises like a franchise quarterback. Only about 870 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:16,960 Speaker 1: thirty five percent of the drafted first round rookies. So 871 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,880 Speaker 1: when you think about how many drafted first round rookies 872 00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 1: this year there were, that means potentially two of them, 873 00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:29,200 Speaker 1: if it lands perfectly in the odds, could end up 874 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,000 Speaker 1: having that kind of run that we saw CJ. Straft 875 00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,920 Speaker 1: have or something maybe not quite as great but similar 876 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,920 Speaker 1: to it. But the fact of the matter is there 877 00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:41,400 Speaker 1: are certain years where we see five or six quarterbacks 878 00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,600 Speaker 1: drafted in the first round and none of them are 879 00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,200 Speaker 1: really all that good. Sometimes we see a bunch of 880 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:49,160 Speaker 1: quarterbacks or maybe a couple, and they're both good, or 881 00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 1: they're all good. It's that's much rarer. But my point being, 882 00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:58,400 Speaker 1: everything's got to come together. So Sean Payton has to 883 00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:02,399 Speaker 1: hit the perfect notes with bon Nicks. Bon Nicks has 884 00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:07,400 Speaker 1: to understand his offensive philosophy perfect the meeting point of 885 00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:09,120 Speaker 1: their minds. 886 00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,680 Speaker 3: Plus his ability, plus you know. 887 00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:16,400 Speaker 1: Injuries around the team, you know coming at more opportune times. 888 00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:20,120 Speaker 1: You know where, you know the receivers and the tight 889 00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,640 Speaker 1: ends he's working with in the running backs. The timing 890 00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,520 Speaker 1: is there and the relationship is there. Like a lot 891 00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,920 Speaker 1: of things have to coalesce perfectly for this to happen. 892 00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,480 Speaker 1: That's the reason why it was so exciting watching the 893 00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,759 Speaker 1: Houston Texans because we don't see it very often. So 894 00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,360 Speaker 1: do I believe it could happen? Yes, Yes, I believe 895 00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,000 Speaker 1: it could happen. I'm not trying to rain on any 896 00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:45,640 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos fans plans to celebrate a playoff run this 897 00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:49,080 Speaker 1: year because I don't know and nobody does. But what 898 00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,840 Speaker 1: I can say is it's really difficult, and the odds 899 00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,960 Speaker 1: are stacked far, far against the Denver Broncos going from 900 00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:57,640 Speaker 1: worse to first or anything resembling that I know. 901 00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:01,120 Speaker 3: Bronco fans collectively are cursing right now the radio. 902 00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:04,000 Speaker 1: Why Harmy? Why of all the teams? Why would you 903 00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:04,560 Speaker 1: pick us? 904 00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:07,000 Speaker 2: We wanted to sneak up on people. I don't know, 905 00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,400 Speaker 2: there's something about it. I'm not a Broncos fan by 906 00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:13,239 Speaker 2: any stretch of the imagination, but something, something is up there. 907 00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,560 Speaker 2: All Rich, do you have a team, and I'm talking 908 00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:19,920 Speaker 2: about a team completely off the radar, completely like the 909 00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:24,640 Speaker 2: Denver Broncos that because it happens, it happens every year. 910 00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 2: I mean the Texans may have been an extreme case, 911 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:29,520 Speaker 2: but every again. 912 00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,719 Speaker 3: Two years ago, Seattle, no one forget it. 913 00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:36,120 Speaker 2: Drew Locke, Drew Locke is going to lead Seattle that 914 00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:39,200 Speaker 2: you replaced Russell Wilson, Drew Lock, Trew Locke never saw 915 00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:39,879 Speaker 2: the light of day. 916 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:41,920 Speaker 3: Gino Smith, Geno Smith. 917 00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,239 Speaker 2: So uh and the Rams what they did a year ago? 918 00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:48,680 Speaker 2: So can you see a team that nobody else is 919 00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:52,960 Speaker 2: thinking about they could rise from the ashes and actually 920 00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,600 Speaker 2: find themselves in a playoff game in this twenty twenty 921 00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:57,200 Speaker 2: four season. 922 00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:03,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess there's. 923 00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:05,400 Speaker 3: A team out there. You know what you know to 924 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:06,040 Speaker 3: figure it out? 925 00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:10,480 Speaker 1: Okay, So one team that I really like their makeup 926 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:15,960 Speaker 1: and I really think that they can. They can. It's 927 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,920 Speaker 1: not coming out of nowhere, though, Like it's really not 928 00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,719 Speaker 1: coming out of nowhere. The New York Jets are my team. Okay, 929 00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:25,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say something that's going to sound plainly ridiculous. 930 00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:27,000 Speaker 3: You should have said New York Giants. Now, if you 931 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,720 Speaker 3: could make a Giants argument, I'm with you on no, no, no, no. 932 00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,400 Speaker 1: I can't. I can't, I absolutely cannot. 933 00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:35,799 Speaker 3: I mean about jenn and Daniels and the Washington Commanders. 934 00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,479 Speaker 1: Come on, all right, you're the but but is it? 935 00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:40,759 Speaker 1: Is it only with a young quarterback? Or can can 936 00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:43,440 Speaker 1: it be with an aging old pro like Aaron Rodgers? 937 00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:47,000 Speaker 3: How about how about the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers in 938 00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:48,080 Speaker 3: that division? 939 00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,080 Speaker 1: Okay, but more likely in that division, I could see 940 00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:52,120 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons. 941 00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,440 Speaker 2: I know one team you're no longer picking because you 942 00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:56,720 Speaker 2: picked them every single year to rise from the ashes, 943 00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,600 Speaker 2: and that is your your former team, the New England Patriots. 944 00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:01,200 Speaker 3: There's no rising from the ashes. 945 00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,880 Speaker 1: Okay. Here's here's the funny thing about the New England Patriots. 946 00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:08,120 Speaker 1: If if Drake, they're gonna go, this is the truth, 947 00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:11,560 Speaker 1: if they if they got it right with Drake May, 948 00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:13,400 Speaker 1: then they're going to go. 949 00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,680 Speaker 3: Well, wait a minute, if they got a right did 950 00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:17,600 Speaker 3: they get it right with Drake May, I don't know, 951 00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:20,120 Speaker 3: and obviously you have hesitation. 952 00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,640 Speaker 1: I absolutely do. I have hesitation with Caleb Williams. I 953 00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:26,320 Speaker 1: have hesitation with with with uh Uh Jayde and Daniels. 954 00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:32,360 Speaker 1: I have no hesitation with with uh Pennix Junior, I 955 00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:35,040 Speaker 1: have bo Nix. Who knows. Look all these guys, like 956 00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:38,440 Speaker 1: I said, thirty five percent. Historically, out of the first 957 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:42,640 Speaker 1: round with drafted quarterbacks, you you find yourself with a 958 00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:45,880 Speaker 1: guy who's a franchise quarterback. That doesn't even mean a 959 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,400 Speaker 1: super Bowl winner. That doesn't even mean a guy who's 960 00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,480 Speaker 1: continually or year after year leading your team into the playoffs. 961 00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,719 Speaker 1: That just means a guy who can play, who you 962 00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:57,279 Speaker 1: can build around, who you know is maybe top of 963 00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,959 Speaker 1: the second tier at worst. Right you know, a top 964 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:04,080 Speaker 1: fifteen quarterback thirty five percent, which means you're taking an 965 00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,560 Speaker 1: enormous amount of risk paying a guy, drafting a guy 966 00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:10,480 Speaker 1: with a first overall pick or any first round draft pick. 967 00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,640 Speaker 1: As we know, and twelve teams or I should say 968 00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,799 Speaker 1: six teams in the top twelve decided to do that 969 00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,799 Speaker 1: to leverage their franchise for maybe a couple of years 970 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,479 Speaker 1: or longer, to take a risk to roll the dice 971 00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,480 Speaker 1: and see if one of these guys can can have 972 00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:27,840 Speaker 1: the goods now. The Atlanta Falcons is an interesting talking 973 00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:31,279 Speaker 1: point because Atlanta Falcons, they fire their head coach, they 974 00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:35,000 Speaker 1: bring in a familiar face, they sign a free agent 975 00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:38,280 Speaker 1: and Kirk Cousins, and pay him like a starting quarterback 976 00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:41,000 Speaker 1: should be paid in the NFL, and then they draft 977 00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:44,799 Speaker 1: an insurance policy in Pennix Junior. I'm very intrigued by 978 00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:47,960 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons. The Jets. I don't think we saw 979 00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:50,680 Speaker 1: enough from the Jets last year to make any bold 980 00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:53,520 Speaker 1: predictions about what this year is going to look like. However, 981 00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:57,240 Speaker 1: I will say this, no team has received a bigger 982 00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:00,800 Speaker 1: upgraded quarterback year over year the New York Jets. 983 00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:04,200 Speaker 2: You're still convinced that Aaron Rodgers, whose last year in 984 00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:07,279 Speaker 2: Green Bay was subpar, You have to agree. If any 985 00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:10,560 Speaker 2: team upgraded at the quarterback position in twenty twenty three, 986 00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,160 Speaker 2: it was getting rid of Aaron Rodgers and handing the 987 00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:15,920 Speaker 2: ball to Jordan Love, who obviously was a much better 988 00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,880 Speaker 2: quarterback than Rogers had been the year before, and then 989 00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:22,120 Speaker 2: after another year off at age forty, Aaron Rodgers is 990 00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:23,200 Speaker 2: a major upgrade. 991 00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:27,760 Speaker 1: I yes, yes, I understand everything you just said about 992 00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:29,920 Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers and how things ended there with 993 00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:34,640 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. And I'm also I can be equally impressed 994 00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,560 Speaker 1: with Jordan Love and what he was able to do 995 00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:41,080 Speaker 1: with a similar, not the same roster that Aaron Rodgers 996 00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:46,480 Speaker 1: had a year before. And also think that Aaron Rodgers 997 00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:50,160 Speaker 1: still has enough in the tank with an insanely talented 998 00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:52,880 Speaker 1: Jets team around him that is a top defense in 999 00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:56,239 Speaker 1: the league, and he has more offensive weapons than the 1000 00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,920 Speaker 1: majority of the league at his disposal. Brist Hall is real. 1001 00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:02,600 Speaker 1: The receiver I'm blanking on his name right now is 1002 00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,879 Speaker 1: very thank you, very very real. Mike Williams is gonna 1003 00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,480 Speaker 1: be on the pup list to start camp. But DeVonta 1004 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:11,000 Speaker 1: Adams is talking about wanting to be traded to New York. 1005 00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,040 Speaker 1: They have, they have a talented tight end, they have 1006 00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:17,200 Speaker 1: they have a lot of pieces surrounding Aaron Rodgers. 1007 00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:20,239 Speaker 3: He's a lousy head coach and Roberts, but we don't know. 1008 00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:21,160 Speaker 1: What kind of coaches. 1009 00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,239 Speaker 3: I know exactly what kind of coach he is. 1010 00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:27,560 Speaker 2: He's a coach, he's a great defensive coordinator, a lowsy 1011 00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:28,040 Speaker 2: head coach. 1012 00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:32,320 Speaker 1: Okay, but but here's the Here's the thing. All great coaches, 1013 00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:36,480 Speaker 1: barring few exceptions, are great head coaches because they've been 1014 00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:40,640 Speaker 1: paired with great quarterbacks. Now, some of them have fostered 1015 00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,799 Speaker 1: these great quarterbacks and turned them into great players, like 1016 00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:46,399 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick working with Tom Brady, a six round draft 1017 00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:49,160 Speaker 1: pick and helping turn him into the goat, you know, 1018 00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:52,759 Speaker 1: Like Bill Walsh and Joe Montana and Steve Young like 1019 00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:57,000 Speaker 1: oh gosh, like like Sean Payton and Drew Brees. You know, 1020 00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,200 Speaker 1: I think he got the most out of Drew Brees 1021 00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:02,120 Speaker 1: out of any other coach out there. But still, all 1022 00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:05,600 Speaker 1: of these coaches, they will be potential or definite Hall 1023 00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:08,720 Speaker 1: of Famers in the future, and all of them needed 1024 00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:12,480 Speaker 1: great quarterbacks. There are so few who don't. So Robert Salive, 1025 00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:15,480 Speaker 1: the jury's out. If Aaron Rodgers placed two years with 1026 00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:18,040 Speaker 1: the New York Jets and they get to I don't know, 1027 00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:22,279 Speaker 1: two AFC Championship games or win a Super Bowl, what 1028 00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:23,880 Speaker 1: are we gonna be saying about Robert. 1029 00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:27,200 Speaker 2: Salad that right now the Denver Broncos will have a 1030 00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:30,319 Speaker 2: better record than the New York Jets this season. By 1031 00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:32,440 Speaker 2: the way, they had a better record than them last season. 1032 00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:34,319 Speaker 1: Actually, we need to put a side bet on it. 1033 00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:36,640 Speaker 2: Okay, so last year the Broncos are eight to nine, 1034 00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:38,799 Speaker 2: the Jets are seven and ten. All I'm saying is 1035 00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:41,720 Speaker 2: you'll continue to see the Broncos have a better record 1036 00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:42,320 Speaker 2: than the Jets. 1037 00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:44,120 Speaker 1: You and me and the coach. 1038 00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,960 Speaker 3: The difference between a Sean Payton and Robert Sala it's 1039 00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:48,879 Speaker 3: like night and day. 1040 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:51,560 Speaker 1: We have to I don't know what it's gonna be. 1041 00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,080 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe Steve has to shave his head. 1042 00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:59,239 Speaker 3: I don't know.

Remember she started her WNBA career struggling 1329 01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:33,920 Speaker 2: with her shot, and honestly I gave her a little 1330 01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:36,120 Speaker 2: slack because I thought she's got to be tired, right, 1331 01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:38,479 Speaker 2: I mean, she led Iowa all the way to the 1332 01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:42,639 Speaker 2: championship game, and what a month later WNBA season gets. 1333 01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:44,919 Speaker 1: Going crazy crazy turn on, I really. 1334 01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:47,200 Speaker 2: Turn around, plus all the attention, you know, all the 1335 01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:48,240 Speaker 2: interviews and everything else. 1336 01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:50,880 Speaker 3: She had to be exhausted. Her SHOT's coming back. But 1337 01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:55,400 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, now she's becoming an assist machine. 1338 01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:56,040 Speaker 1: Yep. 1339 01:10:56,479 --> 01:11:00,800 Speaker 2: And I wonder about that if that is a I mean, 1340 01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:04,840 Speaker 2: the appeal of Kitlyn Clark for the masses to me 1341 01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:08,160 Speaker 2: was her scoring, right, I mean, she was the all 1342 01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:11,519 Speaker 2: time leading scorer in Division one women's history. You know, 1343 01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:15,960 Speaker 2: they talked about a record that doesn't exist, her passing 1344 01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:18,400 Speaker 2: Pete Marriviche most points for a man or women. 1345 01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:20,240 Speaker 3: This is a you know, immediate creation. 1346 01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:22,400 Speaker 2: But it was about scoring and the fact that she 1347 01:11:22,439 --> 01:11:27,479 Speaker 2: took these long shots and everything else. Now she's passing 1348 01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:32,520 Speaker 2: the ball. I just wonder, does that change the dynamic 1349 01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:37,160 Speaker 2: of what makes Kitlin Clark appealing. Maybe it's gonna help 1350 01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:39,519 Speaker 2: her team, maybe it's gonna make her a better all 1351 01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:42,720 Speaker 2: around player. But wasn't the reason we were interested in 1352 01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:45,760 Speaker 2: Kitlyn Clark is that she was firing up thirty foot 1353 01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:46,880 Speaker 2: shots and making them. 1354 01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:48,000 Speaker 3: Wasn't that the appeal? 1355 01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:52,400 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah yeah. Look if Steph Curry 1356 01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:57,840 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, out of Davidson became like a 1357 01:11:57,960 --> 01:12:00,160 Speaker 1: John Stockton player. 1358 01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:02,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, like a real point guard instead of shooting the ball. 1359 01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:05,559 Speaker 1: Right right, exactly like And don't get me wrong, Steph Curry, 1360 01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:09,080 Speaker 1: you know he can drive the lane and his shot creation, 1361 01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:12,800 Speaker 1: especially because he's a smaller point guard, and his ball 1362 01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:16,439 Speaker 1: handling has been as much of an asset as his 1363 01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:19,680 Speaker 1: off ball movement and three point shooting. You know, he 1364 01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:24,760 Speaker 1: he's truly a He's not a one trick pony, I 1365 01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:26,400 Speaker 1: guess is the point I'm trying to rive at. But 1366 01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:29,360 Speaker 1: I want to talk Kaitlin Clark. So the comparison works though, 1367 01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:33,040 Speaker 1: because he is a deep three shooter and that's what 1368 01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:35,720 Speaker 1: he became famous for in college basketball, and it obviously 1369 01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:38,720 Speaker 1: made the transition to the NBA, and it netted the 1370 01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:44,120 Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors their championships, their dynasty, and so it 1371 01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:47,160 Speaker 1: would be weird and it would have been different, and 1372 01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:50,800 Speaker 1: it probably wouldn't have nearly changed things as much as 1373 01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:53,720 Speaker 1: it did, not only for the NBA but all of 1374 01:12:53,840 --> 01:13:00,960 Speaker 1: basketball if Steph Curry accommodated his game to the instead 1375 01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:05,240 Speaker 1: of bending the sport to his game. And that's the 1376 01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:08,759 Speaker 1: reason why Steph Curry is the greatest three point shooter 1377 01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:12,280 Speaker 1: of all time in my opinion, because no three point 1378 01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:18,719 Speaker 1: shooter has ever made the game bend to his will 1379 01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:22,040 Speaker 1: the way that Steph Curry did. Literally, there are going 1380 01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:25,519 Speaker 1: to be NBA players now entering the draft in these 1381 01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:29,080 Speaker 1: upcoming years, you know, say three years from now, we'll 1382 01:13:29,080 --> 01:13:32,280 Speaker 1: see the first wave, but it's already happening that are 1383 01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:35,080 Speaker 1: going to have modeled their entire game after Steph Curry. 1384 01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:38,040 Speaker 1: Their entire young life, gone through the college ranks, and 1385 01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:40,559 Speaker 1: they enter the league and that is going to be 1386 01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:43,600 Speaker 1: the prototype they followed and it worked. Caitlin Clark is 1387 01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:46,280 Speaker 1: really the first on the women's side to do this, 1388 01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:50,240 Speaker 1: and so the fact that she had this nineteen assist 1389 01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:52,679 Speaker 1: game and it broke a WNBA record, I don't think 1390 01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:56,080 Speaker 1: necessarily means that she's steering her game away from the 1391 01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:59,000 Speaker 1: three point shot. But I will say this, if she does, 1392 01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:03,120 Speaker 1: it's going to change the national perception on Caitlin Clark 1393 01:14:03,479 --> 01:14:07,120 Speaker 1: because it would be abrupt, it would be something we're 1394 01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:09,920 Speaker 1: so not used to seeing with her. I don't think 1395 01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:11,840 Speaker 1: that's gonna be the case, though, do you. I think 1396 01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:13,840 Speaker 1: it's a lot of more of a one off experience. 1397 01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:18,679 Speaker 2: Once again, I call attention to myself because last week, 1398 01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:21,680 Speaker 2: in your absence, I made the argument that if you 1399 01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:24,760 Speaker 2: were really to break it down, Angel Reese is the 1400 01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:29,120 Speaker 2: rookie of the year, and I pointed out this stat Angel. 1401 01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:30,040 Speaker 3: Reason Caitlin Clark. 1402 01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:33,960 Speaker 2: As of last weekend, we're each leading the league in 1403 01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:39,360 Speaker 2: one category. Angel Reese is leading the WNBA in rebounding. 1404 01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:46,080 Speaker 2: Kaitlin Clark is leading the league in turnovers, So each 1405 01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:50,160 Speaker 2: is leading the league in one category rebounds versus turnovers 1406 01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:54,519 Speaker 2: advantage Reese. But after that nineteen assist game, now Caitlin 1407 01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:57,839 Speaker 2: Clark is leading the league in assist so I think 1408 01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:02,120 Speaker 2: she was listening he took offense to my comment and 1409 01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:06,479 Speaker 2: had this assist explosion, so that she's now leading the 1410 01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:10,600 Speaker 2: league in a positive category instead of a negative category. 1411 01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:15,280 Speaker 1: So look here, here is the brass tacks of this 1412 01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:21,679 Speaker 1: in like, when we really distill this conversation to what's 1413 01:15:21,720 --> 01:15:25,000 Speaker 1: at play here is Caitlin Clark is still developing at 1414 01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:28,800 Speaker 1: a professional level. The level of play from college basketball 1415 01:15:28,920 --> 01:15:32,200 Speaker 1: or frankly, let me just speak vaguely and more generally 1416 01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:36,360 Speaker 1: about this, but from college sports to professional sports is profound. 1417 01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:40,120 Speaker 1: It's an enormous leap. And those who can make that 1418 01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:44,200 Speaker 1: leap seamlessly, who like in the case of CJ. Stroud 1419 01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:47,920 Speaker 1: we were discus discussing earlier in the show, like somebody 1420 01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:51,880 Speaker 1: who can burst on the scene and regardless the circumstances, 1421 01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:55,320 Speaker 1: new head coach, injuries on the offensive line, a revolving 1422 01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:58,800 Speaker 1: cast to character a receiver due to injury can have 1423 01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:02,200 Speaker 1: the level of success he has That is so rare 1424 01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:06,719 Speaker 1: it is so incredibly rare. It usually takes a couple 1425 01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:10,120 Speaker 1: of years to feel at home at the professional level, 1426 01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:12,880 Speaker 1: regardless of how great you were at the college level. 1427 01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:17,000 Speaker 1: It can happen, but it's rare. Now, Caitlyn Clark can 1428 01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:20,040 Speaker 1: still be a rare talent and not be the rookie 1429 01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:22,519 Speaker 1: of the year. Caitlyn Clark can still be a rare 1430 01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:26,640 Speaker 1: talent and not have the most impressive rookie year of 1431 01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:31,800 Speaker 1: all that we've ever seen in WNBA history, and she 1432 01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:36,280 Speaker 1: can work herself into becoming the greatest of all time. Potentially. 1433 01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:38,680 Speaker 1: We don't know where this story is heading, but I 1434 01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:42,680 Speaker 1: can tell you one thing is its starting point is 1435 01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:46,519 Speaker 1: very similar to many great players throughout the history of sports. 1436 01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:49,439 Speaker 1: Not everybody got it right away. A lot of people 1437 01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:52,800 Speaker 1: had that slow role into success, and Caitlin Clark could 1438 01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:53,679 Speaker 1: be another one of those. 1439 01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:56,880 Speaker 2: On the other side, an NFL team is returning home 1440 01:16:58,360 --> 01:16:59,200 Speaker 2: and nobody knows. 1441 01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:01,679 Speaker 3: We'll explain. 1442 01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:10,280 Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Sunday, Steve Harbin, Rich Armberger, Fox 1443 01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:15,240 Speaker 2: Sports Sunday. We are live from theentirerack dot Com studios. 1444 01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:17,240 Speaker 3: We're too short on time to get to what I 1445 01:17:17,240 --> 01:17:17,840 Speaker 3: wanted to get to. 1446 01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:23,280 Speaker 1: Now, maybe we could do it like Lightning Round Edition? 1447 01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:24,920 Speaker 3: Do you think so? 1448 01:17:25,200 --> 01:17:27,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's trade off. We're only allowed to speak twenty 1449 01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:29,720 Speaker 1: seconds at a time once you set it up. 1450 01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:34,479 Speaker 3: I know you hate that, you hate that so much, 1451 01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:41,200 Speaker 3: twenty seconds, But planet are you from twenty seconds? It's 1452 01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:43,320 Speaker 3: so funny when I started working with Rich. 1453 01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:46,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if you've known this over the years, 1454 01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:49,120 Speaker 2: if you've listened to any of the shows I've done 1455 01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:53,000 Speaker 2: over these many years, but I'm really in love with 1456 01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:57,240 Speaker 2: the sound of my own voice correct and many times, 1457 01:17:57,280 --> 01:17:59,639 Speaker 2: as Rich and many of my partners over the years 1458 01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:04,200 Speaker 2: have found out, I rarely listen to anything they actually 1459 01:18:04,240 --> 01:18:10,280 Speaker 2: say correct. So it's not uncommon for me to say 1460 01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:17,479 Speaker 2: something that my partner literally has just said correct with conviction, 1461 01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:21,400 Speaker 2: like I have. You haven't said anything that is of interest. 1462 01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:24,720 Speaker 2: I'm going to say something right now, and I literally. 1463 01:18:24,360 --> 01:18:28,240 Speaker 3: Almost work for work. We'll repeat what it is my 1464 01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:31,080 Speaker 3: partner has just said, that's right, Okay, that's right. Yeah, 1465 01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:33,880 Speaker 3: So to suddenly narrow it down to twenty second, we'll 1466 01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:34,880 Speaker 3: just save it. We'll just save it. 1467 01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:35,880 Speaker 1: Okay, we could save it. 1468 01:18:35,920 --> 01:18:37,360 Speaker 3: We'll just save it. That's fine. 1469 01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:39,880 Speaker 2: One thing I do want to mention, though, is We're 1470 01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:42,080 Speaker 2: gonna have John Palm Morossi coming up in the next hour. 1471 01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:45,519 Speaker 2: He'll be joining us live from Cooperstown, where the Baseball 1472 01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:49,000 Speaker 2: Hall of Fame induction ceremonies are going on right now. 1473 01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:51,680 Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you what I'm going to ask him, 1474 01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:54,000 Speaker 2: Not so much about today, because I'm always thinking about 1475 01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:57,200 Speaker 2: next year, and I know Rich's total disdain for any 1476 01:18:57,240 --> 01:19:00,479 Speaker 2: Hall of Fame and he's made that infinitely clear. But 1477 01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:02,639 Speaker 2: it's going to be three questions I'm going to ask 1478 01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:05,720 Speaker 2: him about the twenty twenty five ballot. Here are the 1479 01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:11,639 Speaker 2: three questions. Will Billy Wagner, the longtime Releaf pitcher, make 1480 01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:13,760 Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame next year on his final time 1481 01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:14,400 Speaker 2: on the ballot? 1482 01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:15,200 Speaker 3: That's one question? 1483 01:19:16,439 --> 01:19:17,000 Speaker 1: Is C. C. 1484 01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:21,400 Speaker 3: Sabathia a first ballot Hall of Famer? 1485 01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:24,920 Speaker 2: Oh, two hundred and fifty plus wins, three thousand strikeouts, 1486 01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:28,720 Speaker 2: Cy Young Award?

But so 1536 01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:01,599 Speaker 2: it was thirty years ago. Actually it was funny forty 1537 01:22:01,680 --> 01:22:07,080 Speaker 2: years ago yesterday, rich forty years ago yesterday, July twentieth, 1538 01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:12,479 Speaker 2: nineteen eighty four was my first day working for the Raiders. 1539 01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:13,400 Speaker 1: Wow. 1540 01:22:14,200 --> 01:22:17,240 Speaker 2: So I was twenty six and it was they had 1541 01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:19,759 Speaker 2: just won the Super Bowl, their third and eight years, 1542 01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:21,200 Speaker 2: and I thought, I'm. 1543 01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:22,840 Speaker 3: Going to get a lot of rings. They haven't won 1544 01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:28,000 Speaker 3: one since. The Harvin Curse has very bench in elements. 1545 01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:32,160 Speaker 2: But it's thirty years ago, believe it or not, that 1546 01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:35,559 Speaker 2: the Raiders had their final season in LA. And I 1547 01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:38,320 Speaker 2: know a lot of people when I casually mentioned not 1548 01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:42,840 Speaker 2: that I overstated that I worked for the Raiders, people often. 1549 01:22:42,640 --> 01:22:45,920 Speaker 3: Asked me, well, you know, so, how was Oakland? I said, 1550 01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:48,479 Speaker 3: I was never in Oakland. I worked for the Los 1551 01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:51,920 Speaker 3: Angeles Raiders. It's like Marcus Allen, he played eleven years 1552 01:22:51,920 --> 01:22:53,960 Speaker 3: for the Raiders, all in LA. 1553 01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:55,240 Speaker 1: That's right. 1554 01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:58,439 Speaker 3: Howie Long played thirteen years of the Raiders, twelve of 1555 01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:01,720 Speaker 3: thirteen in LA. His rookie season they were the oklahoma Ers. 1556 01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:03,120 Speaker 3: So the LA Raiders existed. 1557 01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:03,400 Speaker 1: Well. 1558 01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:10,240 Speaker 3: Apparently the Raiders are now going to have their training 1559 01:23:10,320 --> 01:23:16,519 Speaker 3: camp in Costa Mesa. Why haven't we heard about this? 1560 01:23:16,880 --> 01:23:18,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, that is interesting. 1561 01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:22,200 Speaker 3: The reason we haven't heard about this move is that 1562 01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:27,639 Speaker 3: they're not, by law NFL policy allowed to promote their 1563 01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:34,040 Speaker 3: presence because SoCal belongs to the Rams and the Chargers. 1564 01:23:34,439 --> 01:23:36,040 Speaker 1: That is fascinating. 1565 01:23:36,520 --> 01:23:41,160 Speaker 3: So they can't do their no billboards, no ads, they 1566 01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:45,639 Speaker 3: can't have fans go to. I mean, it's like total 1567 01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:47,880 Speaker 3: anonymity for a team. 1568 01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:52,120 Speaker 2: That I promise you and Rich knowses the Raiders are 1569 01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:57,600 Speaker 2: still the most popular NFL team in Los Angeles. 1570 01:23:57,640 --> 01:24:01,120 Speaker 1: Oh, there's no doubt. And their there isn't a close second. 1571 01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:02,720 Speaker 3: There isn't a close second. 1572 01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:07,120 Speaker 2: They have more fans in Los Angeles than there are 1573 01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:11,240 Speaker 2: Rams fans and Chargers fans combined in Los Angeles. 1574 01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:13,680 Speaker 1: Correct, So that you. 1575 01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:20,320 Speaker 2: Talk about awkward, it is awkward, especially for the Chargers 1576 01:24:21,120 --> 01:24:25,439 Speaker 2: who have a very limited fan base in the city 1577 01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:28,559 Speaker 2: of Los Angeles, very limited, especially if. 1578 01:24:28,439 --> 01:24:29,839 Speaker 3: You're going to compare it to the Raiders. 1579 01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:35,280 Speaker 2: But I love how the NFL green lighted this, that 1580 01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:38,760 Speaker 2: the Raiders had to be told, yeah, there's no you're 1581 01:24:38,840 --> 01:24:41,160 Speaker 2: not allowed to publicize this. 1582 01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:46,000 Speaker 1: Right at all. Right, Well, what's interesting is I'm curious 1583 01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:49,240 Speaker 1: if social media counts like and and what I mean 1584 01:24:49,280 --> 01:24:53,040 Speaker 1: by that is sometimes you can you can do things 1585 01:24:53,080 --> 01:24:56,120 Speaker 1: on social media to promote that you're in a certain place. 1586 01:24:56,400 --> 01:24:59,000 Speaker 1: Like you could take, I don't know, you can mash 1587 01:24:59,120 --> 01:25:05,400 Speaker 1: up a a video that you create highlighting your training 1588 01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:09,240 Speaker 1: camp so far, where you have city shots that are 1589 01:25:09,240 --> 01:25:11,400 Speaker 1: spliced in. Like, so, if all of a sudden, the 1590 01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:15,639 Speaker 1: Raiders social media team posts a video of their training 1591 01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:19,080 Speaker 1: camp that has you know, cut shots of the Hollywood 1592 01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:22,599 Speaker 1: Sign and cut shots of you know, the Santa Monica 1593 01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:26,000 Speaker 1: peer are is are they in trouble with the NFL? 1594 01:25:26,080 --> 01:25:26,160 Speaker 3: Like? 1595 01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:30,720 Speaker 1: Where is the gray area they're allowed to to to 1596 01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:34,200 Speaker 1: to exist in? Like when they post something to Facebook 1597 01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:37,720 Speaker 1: or Instagram, you know, using any of the meta platforms 1598 01:25:37,720 --> 01:25:42,840 Speaker 1: you're allowed to geolocate, Right, So if they say Cosamesa, 1599 01:25:42,920 --> 01:25:47,599 Speaker 1: California as their location of these these Instagram posts, are 1600 01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:50,559 Speaker 1: they in trouble with the NFL? So I'm very curious 1601 01:25:50,600 --> 01:25:56,080 Speaker 1: how the Raiders try or successfully subvert this edict sent 1602 01:25:56,160 --> 01:25:58,880 Speaker 1: down by the NFL, because I get it. You know, 1603 01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:01,160 Speaker 1: it's kind of like trying to go and mowing another 1604 01:26:01,200 --> 01:26:05,040 Speaker 1: guy's lawn. You know, it's it's probably not something you 1605 01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:08,479 Speaker 1: should do, you know, so I get it well. 1606 01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:11,759 Speaker 2: And the story behind this is because they've been training 1607 01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:16,400 Speaker 2: in Henderson, Nevada since twenty twenty, after they moved from 1608 01:26:16,400 --> 01:26:18,680 Speaker 2: that Napa Valley area of course, where the Raiders had 1609 01:26:18,680 --> 01:26:22,519 Speaker 2: been for years. And this really comes down to Antonio Pierce. 1610 01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:25,160 Speaker 2: So Antonio Piers grew up. 1611 01:26:25,080 --> 01:26:26,320 Speaker 1: In Compton's right. 1612 01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:28,320 Speaker 3: And then this is. 1613 01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:31,360 Speaker 2: Interesting about training camps, and I'm always curious about this. 1614 01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:35,919 Speaker 2: There's so many there's so many legendary stories about training 1615 01:26:35,960 --> 01:26:41,160 Speaker 2: camps and coach's decisions to move training camps to get 1616 01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:44,839 Speaker 2: teams more focused for the upcoming season. 1617 01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:47,679 Speaker 3: And apparently Antonio Piers is one. 1618 01:26:47,560 --> 01:26:48,559 Speaker 1: Of those, right. 1619 01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:51,679 Speaker 2: He thinks it's a little too cushy to be sort 1620 01:26:51,720 --> 01:26:56,519 Speaker 2: of home for training camp. He feels like moving the 1621 01:26:56,560 --> 01:27:00,320 Speaker 2: training camp off the premises to another locate. 1622 01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:08,280 Speaker 3: Is better for the bonding of a team. And you 1623 01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:10,320 Speaker 3: know we talk about the Junction Boys, right, you know, 1624 01:27:10,400 --> 01:27:11,920 Speaker 3: you go the old Texas. 1625 01:27:11,600 --> 01:27:13,439 Speaker 2: A and m at Bear Bryan and you know out 1626 01:27:13,439 --> 01:27:14,760 Speaker 2: in the middle of the desert, you don't want to 1627 01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:17,719 Speaker 2: go to those extremes. But I remember a legendary Charger 1628 01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:19,920 Speaker 2: story with Sid Gilman back in the sixties where he 1629 01:27:19,960 --> 01:27:23,920 Speaker 2: did something very similar where the Chargers train in the 1630 01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:27,400 Speaker 2: most god forsaken place after a losing season and put 1631 01:27:27,400 --> 01:27:30,000 Speaker 2: the team back together and they responded by winning an 1632 01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:32,920 Speaker 2: AFL championship. How did you feel about I don't know 1633 01:27:32,920 --> 01:27:34,960 Speaker 2: what the all the training camps you went to over 1634 01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:38,519 Speaker 2: the years, but is there something to be said about 1635 01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:44,040 Speaker 2: holding training camp completely away from the market that you're 1636 01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:44,800 Speaker 2: familiar with. 1637 01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:47,880 Speaker 1: I think there's something to be said about it. Now 1638 01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:54,160 Speaker 1: here's here's the reasons why. So when you are when 1639 01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:58,240 Speaker 1: you're when you're staying in training camp, regardless of of 1640 01:27:59,320 --> 01:28:03,160 Speaker 1: regardless of where your training camp is, you're staying at 1641 01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:07,559 Speaker 1: an off site hotel. So even even when like for example, 1642 01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:11,479 Speaker 1: the the you know, I played for the Patriots and 1643 01:28:11,520 --> 01:28:14,679 Speaker 1: the Cardinals and the Chargers. The Patriots and the Chargers, 1644 01:28:14,720 --> 01:28:18,639 Speaker 1: they didn't travel away from their home site at those 1645 01:28:18,720 --> 01:28:22,800 Speaker 1: times for training camp. So we were holed up in 1646 01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:25,840 Speaker 1: a Foxborough residence in for training camp when I was 1647 01:28:25,880 --> 01:28:29,640 Speaker 1: with New England and for the Chargers training camp, so 1648 01:28:29,640 --> 01:28:32,640 Speaker 1: while they were still still in San Diego, there was 1649 01:28:33,080 --> 01:28:35,760 Speaker 1: like a Hilton or something down the road from the 1650 01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:38,679 Speaker 1: training facility, and that's where we stayed in the whole 1651 01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:43,519 Speaker 1: team stayed in the hotel, and that creates a couple 1652 01:28:43,560 --> 01:28:45,680 Speaker 1: of there's a couple of different reasons for it. It's 1653 01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:49,679 Speaker 1: easier access to the athletic trainers. It's a hard part 1654 01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:51,640 Speaker 1: of the year where a lot of guys are, you know, 1655 01:28:51,680 --> 01:28:53,880 Speaker 1: their bodies are getting beaten down a little bit, so 1656 01:28:53,920 --> 01:28:56,600 Speaker 1: they need more recovery time. So it's good to be, 1657 01:28:56,720 --> 01:28:58,760 Speaker 1: you know, only a quick drive five minutes away as 1658 01:28:58,760 --> 01:29:02,280 Speaker 1: opposed to be back your house. It also helps for 1659 01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:05,760 Speaker 1: player curfew because during training camp, you know, you get 1660 01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:08,040 Speaker 1: a knock on your door at whatever it is, lights 1661 01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:10,920 Speaker 1: out time, ten o'clock, you know, making sure you're in 1662 01:29:10,960 --> 01:29:13,599 Speaker 1: your room, you're studying your playbook instead of running around 1663 01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:16,519 Speaker 1: you know, all those things you know, and really training 1664 01:29:16,560 --> 01:29:20,439 Speaker 1: camp it's more for the younger players from that aspect 1665 01:29:20,479 --> 01:29:22,400 Speaker 1: than it is for the veteran players who've been around 1666 01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:25,800 Speaker 1: for a while. However, I will say this off site 1667 01:29:25,840 --> 01:29:28,679 Speaker 1: training camps, what happens when you're given a day off. 1668 01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:32,120 Speaker 1: Many times they do it in a fashion where you 1669 01:29:32,160 --> 01:29:34,720 Speaker 1: can't forecast when your day off is going to be, 1670 01:29:35,479 --> 01:29:38,679 Speaker 1: so you can't call your family and being like, hey, 1671 01:29:38,720 --> 01:29:42,080 Speaker 1: guess what, you know, we have the day off in 1672 01:29:42,160 --> 01:29:44,240 Speaker 1: three days. Why don't you gather up the kids. We'll 1673 01:29:44,240 --> 01:29:47,040 Speaker 1: do something fun around Courtland, New York. In the case 1674 01:29:47,080 --> 01:29:48,439 Speaker 1: for the New York Jets when they used to go 1675 01:29:48,520 --> 01:29:52,200 Speaker 1: up to that college or flag Staff, you know, nau 1676 01:29:52,400 --> 01:29:54,680 Speaker 1: with the Arizona Cardinals where they used to have their 1677 01:29:54,720 --> 01:29:57,439 Speaker 1: training camp. Like, you can't do that because usually you 1678 01:29:57,479 --> 01:30:00,320 Speaker 1: find out the night before, all right, you got again 1679 01:30:00,439 --> 01:30:03,040 Speaker 1: the day off tomorrow. Don't do anything stupid. And so 1680 01:30:03,200 --> 01:30:06,160 Speaker 1: what a lot of guys will do is you'll you'll 1681 01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:08,600 Speaker 1: go out with your teammates. You'll get some burgers and 1682 01:30:08,680 --> 01:30:12,120 Speaker 1: some beers with your teammates. It's a form of team bonding. 1683 01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:15,679 Speaker 1: So I actually am in favor of having off site 1684 01:30:15,920 --> 01:30:18,679 Speaker 1: training camps. I think that in terms of building a team, 1685 01:30:19,040 --> 01:30:23,320 Speaker 1: building stronger bonds, having story to tell, references from nights 1686 01:30:23,360 --> 01:30:26,880 Speaker 1: out together, things like that, I think it matters. You know, 1687 01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:29,840 Speaker 1: card games, you know where, you know you're not going 1688 01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:31,920 Speaker 1: home and checking on the kids. Your wife has zero 1689 01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:35,080 Speaker 1: expectations of it, whatever it may be. Like you you 1690 01:30:35,120 --> 01:30:37,519 Speaker 1: are you are locked into football for a month, and 1691 01:30:37,520 --> 01:30:38,840 Speaker 1: I think it benefits a team. 1692 01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:42,200 Speaker 2: And by the way, for many many years, Al Davis 1693 01:30:42,280 --> 01:30:45,439 Speaker 2: was not a proponent of fans attending training camp at all. 1694 01:30:45,760 --> 01:30:49,240 Speaker 2: In fact, after mister Davis passed away is when his 1695 01:30:49,360 --> 01:30:51,480 Speaker 2: son Mark decided to allow. 1696 01:30:51,200 --> 01:30:53,479 Speaker 3: Fans in NAPA to actually show up. 1697 01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:57,599 Speaker 2: Are you a fan as a player to have fans 1698 01:30:57,640 --> 01:31:01,439 Speaker 2: at training camp? Does it really matter impacted at all? 1699 01:31:02,240 --> 01:31:04,639 Speaker 2: I mean, because like I said, you know, Al Davis 1700 01:31:04,720 --> 01:31:08,040 Speaker 2: was always paranoid about anybody you know, watching even a 1701 01:31:08,120 --> 01:31:11,719 Speaker 2: practice like okay, they're gonna be stealing something or observing something. 1702 01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:14,160 Speaker 3: You know. He was in a constant state of paranoida 1703 01:31:14,160 --> 01:31:15,040 Speaker 3: in that respect. 1704 01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:18,240 Speaker 2: And then other teams they will gave me a thousands 1705 01:31:18,240 --> 01:31:19,880 Speaker 2: of fans to show up at training camp. 1706 01:31:19,920 --> 01:31:22,400 Speaker 3: Does it matter from a player's stand one way or 1707 01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:22,720 Speaker 3: the other. 1708 01:31:23,760 --> 01:31:28,639 Speaker 1: I think I've always viewed it as helpful because I mean, 1709 01:31:28,920 --> 01:31:31,720 Speaker 1: certain training camp days they don't allow. You know, it's 1710 01:31:31,760 --> 01:31:34,840 Speaker 1: a closed training camp practice day where you can sort 1711 01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:39,680 Speaker 1: of work on things that are more geared toward an 1712 01:31:39,760 --> 01:31:43,280 Speaker 1: upcoming opponent that you don't necessarily want to see, you know, 1713 01:31:43,400 --> 01:31:48,880 Speaker 1: have the general public see also. I think I think 1714 01:31:48,920 --> 01:31:51,920 Speaker 1: it breaks up the monotony of training camp. I also 1715 01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:56,840 Speaker 1: think it brings a certain level of heightened expectation for 1716 01:31:56,920 --> 01:32:00,519 Speaker 1: certain players, Like there are certain guys who perform better 1717 01:32:00,920 --> 01:32:03,439 Speaker 1: when there's a crowd. Sure, there are certain guys who 1718 01:32:03,880 --> 01:32:06,439 Speaker 1: you know they're terrible at practice, but when you get 1719 01:32:06,479 --> 01:32:09,200 Speaker 1: them on game day, it's like watching a completely different player. 1720 01:32:09,240 --> 01:32:12,200 Speaker 1: I've played with many players like that, where they are 1721 01:32:12,560 --> 01:32:16,160 Speaker 1: terrible practice players, but they're you know, you call them gamers, 1722 01:32:16,560 --> 01:32:18,000 Speaker 1: you know, and they're able to go out there on 1723 01:32:18,080 --> 01:32:21,719 Speaker 1: game day and just you know, just have unbelievable success. 1724 01:32:22,080 --> 01:32:24,240 Speaker 1: And the reason why it's all unbelievable is because of 1725 01:32:24,280 --> 01:32:28,720 Speaker 1: how you know, awful their practice habits are. So I 1726 01:32:28,760 --> 01:32:32,080 Speaker 1: do think in many cases in training camp, having a 1727 01:32:32,120 --> 01:32:36,479 Speaker 1: crowd come to practice, I mean, and then also, you know, 1728 01:32:36,760 --> 01:32:39,800 Speaker 1: aside from what it does for the players psychologically, I 1729 01:32:39,800 --> 01:32:42,160 Speaker 1: think it's amazing to be able to walk up to 1730 01:32:42,200 --> 01:32:45,640 Speaker 1: the fence after practice, handle little kid your gloves and 1731 01:32:45,720 --> 01:32:48,439 Speaker 1: have it be the best moment of his entire side. 1732 01:32:48,560 --> 01:32:50,920 Speaker 2: Absolutely, I mean I've observed it for many, many years, 1733 01:32:50,920 --> 01:32:52,920 Speaker 2: many training camps over the years, and I always think 1734 01:32:52,920 --> 01:32:55,679 Speaker 2: that's a great, great part of you know, really getting 1735 01:32:55,720 --> 01:32:58,519 Speaker 2: the season going to getting in the fans very much engaged. 1736 01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:01,720 Speaker 2: Speaking of engagement, it's a huge day in Cooperstown, New 1737 01:33:01,760 --> 01:33:04,799 Speaker 2: York as the Baseball Hall of Fame class of twenty 1738 01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:09,760 Speaker 2: twenty four. They got their plaques. They're now fully embedded 1739 01:33:10,360 --> 01:33:14,120 Speaker 2: members of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Our Fox Sports 1740 01:33:14,200 --> 01:33:18,240 Speaker 2: Radio MLB insider John Paul Morosi is there and he 1741 01:33:18,280 --> 01:33:21,559 Speaker 2: will join us next.

I know 1752 01:33:51,800 --> 01:33:54,760 Speaker 2: this is an exciting day for you, but you've been 1753 01:33:54,760 --> 01:33:56,559 Speaker 2: doing this for a number of years. You've made that 1754 01:33:56,680 --> 01:34:00,840 Speaker 2: journey to Cooperstown for these annual inductions ceremonies. 1755 01:34:01,400 --> 01:34:03,920 Speaker 3: What stands out for you personally? 1756 01:34:04,120 --> 01:34:09,720 Speaker 2: Why is this such a special experience for John Palm Morosi. 1757 01:34:10,280 --> 01:34:13,200 Speaker 10: Well, first of all, good afternoon, appreciate the chance to 1758 01:34:13,240 --> 01:34:16,479 Speaker 10: be on the show from Cooperstown. I'm literally steps away 1759 01:34:16,520 --> 01:34:18,880 Speaker 10: from the dais, which is pretty cool to be able 1760 01:34:18,920 --> 01:34:21,400 Speaker 10: to speak with you from right here. But I would 1761 01:34:21,439 --> 01:34:23,800 Speaker 10: say that, actually I shared this with somebody a few 1762 01:34:23,840 --> 01:34:27,920 Speaker 10: minutes ago as the ceremony was wrapping up. This must 1763 01:34:28,240 --> 01:34:32,519 Speaker 10: be what it feels like to officiate weddings every day, 1764 01:34:32,840 --> 01:34:35,840 Speaker 10: because you're around people on the greatest day of their 1765 01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:39,720 Speaker 10: lives all the time. And that's what this is. And 1766 01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:43,200 Speaker 10: so no matter what your journey is, no matter what 1767 01:34:43,360 --> 01:34:45,920 Speaker 10: percent vote total you got you got, or how many 1768 01:34:45,960 --> 01:34:49,360 Speaker 10: years it took, whatever it was, you're there. You're in 1769 01:34:49,439 --> 01:34:52,519 Speaker 10: the hall. And so I think that that moment of 1770 01:34:53,040 --> 01:34:56,240 Speaker 10: you look up at the at the inductees as they're 1771 01:34:56,240 --> 01:34:58,599 Speaker 10: given their speeches and just starting to give the speech. 1772 01:34:58,880 --> 01:35:02,200 Speaker 10: And I'm lucky that my broadcast position is right next 1773 01:35:02,240 --> 01:35:04,840 Speaker 10: to the stage, so I get to sort of see 1774 01:35:04,880 --> 01:35:07,240 Speaker 10: a little bit of what the enormity of the of 1775 01:35:07,280 --> 01:35:10,439 Speaker 10: the vastness of the space looks like. It's the most 1776 01:35:10,439 --> 01:35:13,680 Speaker 10: important part of this weekend is it's free. Admission is 1777 01:35:13,720 --> 01:35:16,639 Speaker 10: free as far as the eye can see and as 1778 01:35:16,680 --> 01:35:19,120 Speaker 10: much of the space as you can fill, and so 1779 01:35:19,760 --> 01:35:23,920 Speaker 10: to be able to sort of look at the inductees 1780 01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:27,080 Speaker 10: as they're looking out, and then just as importantly look 1781 01:35:27,120 --> 01:35:31,320 Speaker 10: at the reaction of the family when when they're speaking 1782 01:35:31,360 --> 01:35:34,639 Speaker 10: about family, and the moment when Jim Leland spoke about 1783 01:35:34,680 --> 01:35:38,040 Speaker 10: Gene Lamont. I mean, these are moments that that I'm 1784 01:35:38,080 --> 01:35:39,640 Speaker 10: going to hold dear in my heart. And so just 1785 01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:42,400 Speaker 10: to understand, you know, we get the stories of the 1786 01:35:42,479 --> 01:35:44,840 Speaker 10: players for a lot of their careers, and the manager 1787 01:35:44,880 --> 01:35:48,080 Speaker 10: in the case of Jim Leland, but we don't often 1788 01:35:48,120 --> 01:35:51,479 Speaker 10: get to hear them just speak about the journey for 1789 01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:55,840 Speaker 10: ten minutes and sometimes longer, sometimes shorter, but you get 1790 01:35:55,880 --> 01:35:59,360 Speaker 10: a real feel for what animated them, what motivated them, 1791 01:35:59,400 --> 01:36:01,320 Speaker 10: and how it all worked. And I just think that's 1792 01:36:01,800 --> 01:36:04,040 Speaker 10: a very special thing to be able to behold and 1793 01:36:04,080 --> 01:36:06,040 Speaker 10: to do it in person is a great privilege. 1794 01:36:06,479 --> 01:36:09,519 Speaker 1: Jp you've seen many of these speeches, you've attended many 1795 01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:12,519 Speaker 1: of these events. So what's the through line? What do 1796 01:36:12,640 --> 01:36:15,439 Speaker 1: you think makes a great baseball player? 1797 01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:19,080 Speaker 10: Well, it's a great question, Rich I think that a 1798 01:36:19,200 --> 01:36:20,680 Speaker 10: couple of things stand out, and we heard it a 1799 01:36:20,720 --> 01:36:24,400 Speaker 10: lot from Joe Mauer and his speech. It's the values 1800 01:36:24,840 --> 01:36:29,280 Speaker 10: that will carry you through and how you define your 1801 01:36:29,439 --> 01:36:32,720 Speaker 10: character and how your family background shapes that. And I 1802 01:36:32,800 --> 01:36:36,280 Speaker 10: thought the most important Joe was saying about his youth baseball, 1803 01:36:36,360 --> 01:36:39,479 Speaker 10: youth sports career was riding in the car with his parents, 1804 01:36:39,960 --> 01:36:42,639 Speaker 10: and the thing he said was, we weren't talking about 1805 01:36:42,720 --> 01:36:45,920 Speaker 10: breaking down your swing. We're talking about sportsmanship and how 1806 01:36:45,960 --> 01:36:49,800 Speaker 10: to be respectful towards umpires and the opposition. These are 1807 01:36:49,840 --> 01:36:53,160 Speaker 10: the fundamentals. The love of the game that Beltray has 1808 01:36:53,960 --> 01:36:56,080 Speaker 10: still to this day, and the joy that he played 1809 01:36:56,120 --> 01:36:59,000 Speaker 10: with a smile on his face when he would joke 1810 01:36:59,040 --> 01:37:01,240 Speaker 10: around with either his own own teammates of the opposition. 1811 01:37:01,680 --> 01:37:05,400 Speaker 10: That was what he brought. The professionalism of a Todd Helton, 1812 01:37:05,479 --> 01:37:09,760 Speaker 10: the passion and the authenticity of a Jim Leland. These 1813 01:37:09,840 --> 01:37:14,479 Speaker 10: are the values. And skill is a prerequisite. Okay, that's 1814 01:37:14,479 --> 01:37:17,920 Speaker 10: a necessity. You have to have the skill, But I 1815 01:37:17,960 --> 01:37:21,760 Speaker 10: think it's it's the combination of the skill with maintaining 1816 01:37:22,400 --> 01:37:24,919 Speaker 10: the love and in the case of the players, maintaining 1817 01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:26,639 Speaker 10: your body and your health for a long period of time. 1818 01:37:26,680 --> 01:37:28,880 Speaker 10: Because and you know this, I can't remember who said this. 1819 01:37:29,360 --> 01:37:31,920 Speaker 10: Within the last year, I had this mentioned to me, 1820 01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:35,960 Speaker 10: and it really resonates being a great player. A lot 1821 01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:39,720 Speaker 10: of it involves things that you say no to right 1822 01:37:39,840 --> 01:37:42,960 Speaker 10: in terms of the things, whether it's the temptations or 1823 01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:45,120 Speaker 10: the things that knock you out of your routine, You've 1824 01:37:45,200 --> 01:37:48,840 Speaker 10: got to stay on your routine for a long time 1825 01:37:49,320 --> 01:37:51,920 Speaker 10: if you want to endure. You don't get to this 1826 01:37:52,120 --> 01:37:55,760 Speaker 10: hall for having one great year. It's a great lifetime, 1827 01:37:56,400 --> 01:37:58,920 Speaker 10: and that's hard to do. By the way, We're all human, 1828 01:37:58,960 --> 01:38:01,800 Speaker 10: we all make mistakes. But I think it's that consistency 1829 01:38:01,960 --> 01:38:05,640 Speaker 10: of the value of caring about what you're doing that 1830 01:38:05,760 --> 01:38:08,439 Speaker 10: I think makes the most and makes for a Hall 1831 01:38:08,479 --> 01:38:11,280 Speaker 10: of Famer. So you don't get here without passion. And 1832 01:38:11,400 --> 01:38:13,559 Speaker 10: I think that for all of us who are parents 1833 01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:15,680 Speaker 10: of kids who are involved in sports or whatever the 1834 01:38:15,760 --> 01:38:21,120 Speaker 10: activity is, recognize that we can only coach or direct 1835 01:38:21,160 --> 01:38:23,880 Speaker 10: so much when it comes to the techniques or whatever 1836 01:38:23,920 --> 01:38:27,519 Speaker 10: it is. The passion cannot be coached. Young people that 1837 01:38:27,600 --> 01:38:30,360 Speaker 10: can be encouraged, but there has to be that spark 1838 01:38:30,400 --> 01:38:32,680 Speaker 10: of really caring about something. And I think that to 1839 01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:35,200 Speaker 10: make it here, you really sense that, my goodness, it is. 1840 01:38:35,680 --> 01:38:38,800 Speaker 10: It is the passion paired with the values that then 1841 01:38:38,880 --> 01:38:40,880 Speaker 10: allow the talent to rise to this level. And I 1842 01:38:40,960 --> 01:38:43,599 Speaker 10: think that's the recipe that I've seen over the years. 1843 01:38:43,640 --> 01:38:43,960 Speaker 1: All right. 1844 01:38:44,040 --> 01:38:47,439 Speaker 2: This comes from someone yours truly, that has been following 1845 01:38:47,640 --> 01:38:50,479 Speaker 2: the Baseball Hall of Fame elections religiously for well over 1846 01:38:50,600 --> 01:38:53,639 Speaker 2: fifty years. All right, So as soon as one class 1847 01:38:53,840 --> 01:38:56,240 Speaker 2: is announced, I'm always turning the page to the next year. 1848 01:38:56,800 --> 01:39:00,960 Speaker 2: Three part question about the twenty twenty five and the 1849 01:39:01,080 --> 01:39:06,479 Speaker 2: ballot for the class. Three part question one, will Billy 1850 01:39:06,560 --> 01:39:10,519 Speaker 2: Wagner make it on his final attempt? Will the great 1851 01:39:10,640 --> 01:39:13,040 Speaker 2: lefty reliever making on his final attempt? 1852 01:39:13,120 --> 01:39:13,320 Speaker 1: Two? 1853 01:39:14,080 --> 01:39:17,439 Speaker 3: Will CC Sabbatha be a first ballot Hall of Famer? 1854 01:39:17,640 --> 01:39:20,959 Speaker 1: And three will each hero join. 1855 01:39:21,000 --> 01:39:25,400 Speaker 2: Mariano Rivera as the only unanimous selections for the Baseball 1856 01:39:25,400 --> 01:39:25,880 Speaker 2: Hall of Fame? 1857 01:39:26,560 --> 01:39:27,280 Speaker 10: Steve, we are. 1858 01:39:27,200 --> 01:39:28,000 Speaker 1: Aligned, my friend. 1859 01:39:28,200 --> 01:39:30,560 Speaker 10: Yes, yes, and yes, I was actually chatting about this 1860 01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:33,639 Speaker 10: very topic yesterday with Jay Jaffies at such a great 1861 01:39:33,680 --> 01:39:36,960 Speaker 10: job as a baseball historian and writer who follows the 1862 01:39:37,000 --> 01:39:39,599 Speaker 10: Hall of Fame very carefully, and I agree. I think 1863 01:39:39,680 --> 01:39:42,960 Speaker 10: CC is trending in that direction of going in on 1864 01:39:43,120 --> 01:39:45,560 Speaker 10: the first ballot, much like Mauer. I think in the 1865 01:39:45,640 --> 01:39:49,200 Speaker 10: case of maur his candidacy because of he moved off 1866 01:39:49,240 --> 01:39:52,599 Speaker 10: of ketcher later in his career. Injuries took away some time, 1867 01:39:53,320 --> 01:39:56,880 Speaker 10: so I think Joe's candidacy wasn't perfect, but it was 1868 01:39:56,960 --> 01:39:59,200 Speaker 10: certainly worthy of the Hall. And I think that we 1869 01:39:59,280 --> 01:40:02,000 Speaker 10: are now moving in in the direction of when you 1870 01:40:02,160 --> 01:40:05,120 Speaker 10: recognize greatness that will eventually get to the Hall of Fame, 1871 01:40:05,760 --> 01:40:07,720 Speaker 10: just vote for him right now. And I think that 1872 01:40:07,920 --> 01:40:11,040 Speaker 10: was certainly my approach with Joe. I planned to vote 1873 01:40:11,080 --> 01:40:13,720 Speaker 10: for CC a year from now. I certainly planned to 1874 01:40:13,800 --> 01:40:16,479 Speaker 10: vote for eachiro. I don't see how anybody could not. 1875 01:40:17,240 --> 01:40:20,960 Speaker 10: And Wagner I support, and I think that he deserves 1876 01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:23,280 Speaker 10: that nudge over the threshold. It's going to be close, 1877 01:40:23,920 --> 01:40:25,639 Speaker 10: but I do think Billy Wagner one of the most 1878 01:40:25,680 --> 01:40:29,479 Speaker 10: dominant relief pitchers of all time and certainly a reliever 1879 01:40:29,560 --> 01:40:31,400 Speaker 10: who helped to define an era. So I think Billy 1880 01:40:31,439 --> 01:40:32,160 Speaker 10: Wagner gets in. 1881 01:40:32,560 --> 01:40:33,160 Speaker 1: I agree with you. 1882 01:40:33,240 --> 01:40:36,840 Speaker 10: It's a three person class from the player side that 1883 01:40:37,120 --> 01:40:39,280 Speaker 10: in terms of the writer's ballot, and we'll see if 1884 01:40:39,320 --> 01:40:41,960 Speaker 10: anybody gets elected by the Era committees as well. 1885 01:40:42,960 --> 01:40:45,760 Speaker 1: It's an interesting time in baseball. You come off of 1886 01:40:45,880 --> 01:40:48,719 Speaker 1: the break, the All Star Game, and then of course 1887 01:40:49,200 --> 01:40:52,160 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame inductions, and then here we are 1888 01:40:53,040 --> 01:40:55,639 Speaker 1: days away from the trade that line, so the focus 1889 01:40:55,840 --> 01:40:59,599 Speaker 1: kind of you know, it fades from Major League Baseball 1890 01:40:59,640 --> 01:41:01,760 Speaker 1: to folks us on the stars than the greats of 1891 01:41:01,840 --> 01:41:04,799 Speaker 1: the past, and then all of a sudden, the focus becomes, 1892 01:41:04,920 --> 01:41:09,599 Speaker 1: all right, what are the immediate needs to hem up 1893 01:41:09,720 --> 01:41:13,479 Speaker 1: whatever else is missing before you make the stretch run here? 1894 01:41:14,000 --> 01:41:17,240 Speaker 1: So what are the storylines that you're particularly interested in 1895 01:41:17,360 --> 01:41:20,559 Speaker 1: following as we get closer to the trade deadline? Well? 1896 01:41:20,680 --> 01:41:22,800 Speaker 10: I think a couple of things. Number One, I think 1897 01:41:22,840 --> 01:41:25,200 Speaker 10: we saw two teams this weekend in Toronto who a 1898 01:41:25,280 --> 01:41:28,920 Speaker 10: lot of scouts are tracking carefully. That's the Tigers and 1899 01:41:28,920 --> 01:41:33,040 Speaker 10: the Blue Jays. Will the Tigers actually make the decision 1900 01:41:33,080 --> 01:41:36,000 Speaker 10: to trade Trek Scoobel? I think that they will listen 1901 01:41:36,560 --> 01:41:41,120 Speaker 10: and are listening, but moving him as a very different yep, 1902 01:41:41,640 --> 01:41:44,120 Speaker 10: And so I think that there's a big gap there 1903 01:41:44,160 --> 01:41:47,240 Speaker 10: in terms of actually making the move. Now. The other 1904 01:41:47,320 --> 01:41:51,040 Speaker 10: piece is on the Blue Jay side of things. Is 1905 01:41:51,120 --> 01:41:55,880 Speaker 10: Vladimir Guerrero Junior right now a trade candidate with Toronto? 1906 01:41:56,040 --> 01:41:59,080 Speaker 10: Certainly with Bobashett getting injured, I think that trade possibility 1907 01:41:59,200 --> 01:42:02,320 Speaker 10: is now shut down. But do you see it, Kevin Gossman, 1908 01:42:02,439 --> 01:42:06,160 Speaker 10: Do you see a Chris Bassett potentially getting moved by Toronto. 1909 01:42:06,600 --> 01:42:10,040 Speaker 10: Seattle really needs to change the narrative in the direction 1910 01:42:10,200 --> 01:42:13,720 Speaker 10: right now. They've just been losing ground so much over 1911 01:42:13,760 --> 01:42:17,240 Speaker 10: the last month or so relative to the surge in 1912 01:42:17,280 --> 01:42:20,200 Speaker 10: Houston Astros. And here come the Astros again. I think 1913 01:42:20,280 --> 01:42:23,200 Speaker 10: the Mariners need to make a big trade, a big statement, 1914 01:42:23,520 --> 01:42:26,000 Speaker 10: to get themselves some momentum again. So I think those teams. 1915 01:42:26,040 --> 01:42:28,280 Speaker 10: I think that the Yankees had some bullpen work to do, 1916 01:42:28,760 --> 01:42:31,000 Speaker 10: the Phillies have some bullpen work to do as well. 1917 01:42:31,600 --> 01:42:34,240 Speaker 10: But this is a very very interesting time, I think 1918 01:42:34,280 --> 01:42:36,200 Speaker 10: for a lot of different teams in the industry, and 1919 01:42:36,560 --> 01:42:39,200 Speaker 10: I do think it starts with just how open minded 1920 01:42:39,240 --> 01:42:41,400 Speaker 10: the Tigers are to moving their ace. I think we 1921 01:42:41,479 --> 01:42:44,240 Speaker 10: know the White Sox would move their pieces, but I 1922 01:42:44,320 --> 01:42:47,800 Speaker 10: think that the next question comes where the Tigers might 1923 01:42:47,840 --> 01:42:48,679 Speaker 10: go with Trek Scugl. 1924 01:42:48,840 --> 01:42:49,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1925 01:42:49,080 --> 01:42:53,360 Speaker 2: And finally, the Dodgers, a team that anything less than 1926 01:42:53,439 --> 01:42:57,920 Speaker 2: winning the World Series after extending over a billion dollars 1927 01:42:58,000 --> 01:43:02,599 Speaker 2: in new contracts in the offseason, their pitching staff falling apart. 1928 01:43:02,760 --> 01:43:07,960 Speaker 3: Yamamoda on the sixty day IL glass now is on 1929 01:43:08,080 --> 01:43:08,599 Speaker 3: the IL. 1930 01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:13,519 Speaker 2: We reported yesterday Clayton Kersha is expected to return to 1931 01:43:13,600 --> 01:43:16,799 Speaker 2: the mound come Thursday when they take on the Giants. 1932 01:43:17,479 --> 01:43:19,560 Speaker 2: How active do you think the Dodgers are going to 1933 01:43:19,600 --> 01:43:22,160 Speaker 2: be to try to bolster that pitching staff because they 1934 01:43:22,280 --> 01:43:25,840 Speaker 2: certainly cannot end the season like they did last year 1935 01:43:26,200 --> 01:43:27,840 Speaker 2: with a starting pitching they got. 1936 01:43:28,120 --> 01:43:31,759 Speaker 3: Blown up by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the playoffs. 1937 01:43:32,640 --> 01:43:36,280 Speaker 10: You're right, and they have a massive task ahead of them. 1938 01:43:36,479 --> 01:43:40,120 Speaker 10: Do the Dodgers to upgrade their rotation? One of my 1939 01:43:40,520 --> 01:43:43,320 Speaker 10: most telling stats in baseball right now and why the 1940 01:43:43,400 --> 01:43:45,479 Speaker 10: Dodgers have to be so aggressive and looking at starting 1941 01:43:45,520 --> 01:43:50,160 Speaker 10: pitching help. They have played fifteen straight post season games 1942 01:43:50,640 --> 01:43:53,439 Speaker 10: in which their starting pitcher did not recording out in 1943 01:43:53,479 --> 01:43:57,440 Speaker 10: the sixth inning. That's an amazing and rather damning statistics 1944 01:43:57,840 --> 01:43:59,680 Speaker 10: about where their depth is right now and what they 1945 01:43:59,720 --> 01:44:03,240 Speaker 10: need to do. I think you also look at other 1946 01:44:03,360 --> 01:44:07,000 Speaker 10: pieces there. James Paxson starts tonight. He is someone who 1947 01:44:07,040 --> 01:44:09,479 Speaker 10: has not necessarily been a two hundred ding type pitcher 1948 01:44:09,520 --> 01:44:11,320 Speaker 10: in his career. He's had a lot of injuries. The 1949 01:44:11,360 --> 01:44:13,800 Speaker 10: glass now you mentioned is on the il he's had 1950 01:44:13,840 --> 01:44:17,479 Speaker 10: his injuries, and for all these reasons, it's why whether 1951 01:44:17,560 --> 01:44:21,240 Speaker 10: it's the Blue Jays with Bassett potentially or Goffman or 1952 01:44:21,320 --> 01:44:24,639 Speaker 10: the Tigers with Scuball or Flaherty, or the White Sox 1953 01:44:24,760 --> 01:44:28,200 Speaker 10: Crochet or Fetti. There are so many needs right now 1954 01:44:28,680 --> 01:44:31,439 Speaker 10: for pitching with the Dodgers. It's not just one starter. 1955 01:44:31,560 --> 01:44:34,160 Speaker 10: It's got to be multiple starters. And to your point, Steve, 1956 01:44:34,800 --> 01:44:38,760 Speaker 10: you cannot get to the playoffs look around and say, 1957 01:44:38,800 --> 01:44:41,240 Speaker 10: oh my gosh, we have no pitching, which is exactly 1958 01:44:41,280 --> 01:44:43,680 Speaker 10: where they were the previous year and the year before that. 1959 01:44:44,240 --> 01:44:47,080 Speaker 10: And at some point you have to change your philosophy 1960 01:44:47,600 --> 01:44:49,760 Speaker 10: if it keeps leading you to the same place of 1961 01:44:49,960 --> 01:44:53,760 Speaker 10: not having healthy pitching in the games that matter the most. 1962 01:44:54,240 --> 01:44:54,559 Speaker 3: JP. 1963 01:44:55,439 --> 01:44:58,439 Speaker 2: Glad you were there as usual, always appreciated taking time 1964 01:44:58,479 --> 01:45:00,800 Speaker 2: out from a very busy day coup to be on 1965 01:45:00,960 --> 01:45:03,200 Speaker 2: with us, and we will talk to you next. 1966 01:45:03,080 --> 01:45:05,679 Speaker 3: Week as we zero in more on that trade deadline. 1967 01:45:06,439 --> 01:45:08,599 Speaker 10: Looking forward to my friends, thanks for everything you look 1968 01:45:08,600 --> 01:45:10,040 Speaker 10: forward to that next conversation as well. 1969 01:45:10,080 --> 01:45:10,559 Speaker 1: Thanks so much. 1970 01:45:10,640 --> 01:45:14,160 Speaker 2: There is a great John Paul Morosi. They're live from 1971 01:45:14,360 --> 01:45:16,920 Speaker 2: Cooper's Down. All right, let's find out what is trending 1972 01:45:17,080 --> 01:45:20,080 Speaker 2: right now. Moncie, of course, is a Hall of Famer 1973 01:45:20,160 --> 01:45:22,160 Speaker 2: in every respect.

This extension puts the Celtics 2048 01:48:35,400 --> 01:48:37,479 Speaker 6: in the twenty twenty five to twenty twenty six payroll 2049 01:48:37,720 --> 01:48:41,160 Speaker 6: to a projected two hundred and twenty five million with 2050 01:48:41,280 --> 01:48:45,280 Speaker 6: an additional two hundred and ten million luxury tax penalty, 2051 01:48:45,800 --> 01:48:48,920 Speaker 6: highest in the league over the second apron for a 2052 01:48:49,160 --> 01:48:52,320 Speaker 6: second consecutive year, that second apron that nobody wants to 2053 01:48:52,360 --> 01:48:52,680 Speaker 6: deal with. 2054 01:48:53,080 --> 01:48:55,240 Speaker 8: Celtics are like whatever, we want to win. 2055 01:48:55,520 --> 01:48:57,960 Speaker 6: And President Joe Biden announced that he has withdrawn from 2056 01:48:57,960 --> 01:48:59,679 Speaker 6: the US presidential race. 2057 01:49:00,280 --> 01:49:02,040 Speaker 8: That's all, Fellas back to you. 2058 01:49:02,439 --> 01:49:04,000 Speaker 3: I love that little footnote at the end. 2059 01:49:06,160 --> 01:49:10,920 Speaker 2: The last time a sitting president voluntarily bailed out was 2060 01:49:11,280 --> 01:49:15,120 Speaker 2: LBJ back in nineteen sixty eight. The difference there was 2061 01:49:15,600 --> 01:49:18,960 Speaker 2: he bailed out before the primaries. 2062 01:49:18,439 --> 01:49:21,439 Speaker 3: Actually really got started. I mean, there had just been one. 2063 01:49:21,680 --> 01:49:25,679 Speaker 2: So this is a completely different case where they've already 2064 01:49:25,720 --> 01:49:29,360 Speaker 2: completed all the primaries, so that's gone, and all the 2065 01:49:29,439 --> 01:49:34,599 Speaker 2: delegates that he won are now released and they could 2066 01:49:34,640 --> 01:49:37,120 Speaker 2: go in any director. I would love to say this, 2067 01:49:37,280 --> 01:49:39,599 Speaker 2: I mean again, I don't have a horse in the race, 2068 01:49:39,640 --> 01:49:42,200 Speaker 2: but I will say this. The idea of an open 2069 01:49:42,360 --> 01:49:46,679 Speaker 2: convention when the Democrats meet in Chicago in August, where 2070 01:49:46,720 --> 01:49:50,280 Speaker 2: it's a free for all, you know, for anyone to 2071 01:49:50,360 --> 01:49:51,320 Speaker 2: become the nominee. 2072 01:49:51,479 --> 01:49:52,439 Speaker 3: That's old school. 2073 01:49:52,640 --> 01:49:55,479 Speaker 2: I mean they used to have conventions way back in 2074 01:49:55,560 --> 01:49:57,840 Speaker 2: the day that would go on for weeks, and they 2075 01:49:57,880 --> 01:50:00,720 Speaker 2: would have ballots and ballots and ballots and alice to 2076 01:50:01,080 --> 01:50:03,920 Speaker 2: ultimately decide who the nominee of that party was going 2077 01:50:04,000 --> 01:50:06,160 Speaker 2: to be. So I think you're burying some very important 2078 01:50:06,200 --> 01:50:10,240 Speaker 2: news with this, though, Steve, Nick Castillanos. Of course Homer today, 2079 01:50:10,400 --> 01:50:11,719 Speaker 2: Yes he did, did he really? 2080 01:50:11,960 --> 01:50:13,000 Speaker 1: Yes?

Unbelievable consistency from 2083 01:50:18,360 --> 01:50:20,760 Speaker 1: Nick Casi That is insane And I don't know if 2084 01:50:20,800 --> 01:50:26,639 Speaker 1: I'll ever wear this headset again. You know what's amazing 2085 01:50:26,640 --> 01:50:30,800 Speaker 1: about Nick Casianos is I should start clocking this like 2086 01:50:30,920 --> 01:50:35,000 Speaker 1: every time there's a major happening. Yeah, like just I 2087 01:50:35,360 --> 01:50:37,880 Speaker 1: just start putting all your money off people. 2088 01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:41,160 Speaker 2: I saw I follow on Twitter immediately we're putting in 2089 01:50:41,360 --> 01:50:44,439 Speaker 2: bets on like DraftKings on. I think you could get 2090 01:50:44,479 --> 01:50:47,439 Speaker 2: I think it was like plus six point fifty for 2091 01:50:47,920 --> 01:50:51,120 Speaker 2: Nick Castillanos over half a home run. 2092 01:50:51,560 --> 01:50:54,800 Speaker 1: I also have to admit, like, the first thing I 2093 01:50:54,880 --> 01:50:58,719 Speaker 1: thought of when I saw that President Biden officially endorsed 2094 01:50:58,760 --> 01:51:02,640 Speaker 1: his VP Kama Harris. I kept thinking about, like this 2095 01:51:02,880 --> 01:51:05,280 Speaker 1: is that oh my god, where's my helmet moment for 2096 01:51:05,360 --> 01:51:08,320 Speaker 1: a backup quarterback? Yeah, you know, like you know, it's 2097 01:51:08,360 --> 01:51:10,760 Speaker 1: like you're sitting on the sideline. Yeah, you just you 2098 01:51:10,880 --> 01:51:13,720 Speaker 1: got the headset on, You're looking at the clipboard, you're 2099 01:51:13,760 --> 01:51:15,759 Speaker 1: chewing some flower seeds, and then all of a sudden, 2100 01:51:16,160 --> 01:51:19,320 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow goes down and you're like, oh my gosh, 2101 01:51:19,600 --> 01:51:20,280 Speaker 1: I'm in the game. 2102 01:51:20,560 --> 01:51:24,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, unfortunately or for to, I mean, he can 2103 01:51:24,840 --> 01:51:27,920 Speaker 2: endorse her, but that doesn't make her the nominee. 2104 01:51:28,720 --> 01:51:31,920 Speaker 1: It is wide open now. The Cleveland Browns, I mean 2105 01:51:32,200 --> 01:51:35,240 Speaker 1: they went through six quarterback. Joe Flacco got called off 2106 01:51:35,280 --> 01:51:39,360 Speaker 1: of this recliner. So it's very possible that the potential 2107 01:51:39,600 --> 01:51:42,960 Speaker 1: Democratic candidate could be on a recliner somewhere like Joe 2108 01:51:43,040 --> 01:51:44,799 Speaker 1: Flacco was for the Cleveland Browns. 2109 01:51:44,840 --> 01:51:46,400 Speaker 3: Well, I have much bigger news that I have to 2110 01:51:46,439 --> 01:51:47,639 Speaker 3: share with everyone out there. 2111 01:51:47,800 --> 01:51:50,639 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radios teamed up with tie i rack dot 2112 01:51:50,760 --> 01:51:53,000 Speaker 2: Com to give away a set of four brand new 2113 01:51:53,160 --> 01:51:56,559 Speaker 2: tires value up to fifteen hundred dollars every two weeks 2114 01:51:56,600 --> 01:51:59,320 Speaker 2: this summer.

Yes what 2159 01:54:31,800 --> 01:54:35,080 Speaker 1: you named her. But we were supposed to go in 2160 01:54:35,240 --> 01:54:39,480 Speaker 1: February of twenty twelve. And literally the only thing that 2161 01:54:39,600 --> 01:54:42,440 Speaker 1: would have canceled that trip because it was going to be, 2162 01:54:42,880 --> 01:54:45,840 Speaker 1: you know, visit Rome, Visit Paris, visit you know, all 2163 01:54:45,920 --> 01:54:50,120 Speaker 1: these beautiful destinations around Europe.

I'd been there 2169 01:55:03,000 --> 01:55:05,480 Speaker 2: for five Final Fours and of course your super Bowl, 2170 01:55:05,960 --> 01:55:06,960 Speaker 2: so I was in India. 2171 01:55:06,960 --> 01:55:10,720 Speaker 3: There no Paris Is. You know, you've seen so many 2172 01:55:10,920 --> 01:55:11,960 Speaker 3: thing about going to Paris. 2173 01:55:12,040 --> 01:55:14,760 Speaker 2: As you've seen the pictures of Paris, you know, whether 2174 01:55:14,840 --> 01:55:17,960 Speaker 2: it's the Eiffel Tower or the Aucta Triomph, you know, 2175 01:55:18,160 --> 01:55:21,320 Speaker 2: Notre Dame, I mean the shaunz I mean, you've seen Paris. 2176 01:55:21,400 --> 01:55:23,360 Speaker 2: Then when you get there, it doesn't even seem real 2177 01:55:23,480 --> 01:55:26,560 Speaker 2: because you've seen it so many times. But it's going 2178 01:55:26,640 --> 01:55:28,440 Speaker 2: to be a great setting for the Olympics. One hundred 2179 01:55:28,480 --> 01:55:30,720 Speaker 2: years ago this Summer Games were in Paris. A lot 2180 01:55:30,800 --> 01:55:31,640 Speaker 2: of history there. 2181 01:55:32,840 --> 01:55:35,560 Speaker 3: You know. Like I said, I'm just an old school 2182 01:55:37,600 --> 01:55:38,480 Speaker 3: Olympics person. 2183 01:55:38,920 --> 01:55:41,600 Speaker 2: I mean, to me, and with all due respect to 2184 01:55:41,680 --> 01:55:44,800 Speaker 2: gymnastics in this comeback of Simone Biles is gonna be 2185 01:55:44,800 --> 01:55:47,400 Speaker 2: a big story for these Summer Games. I'm looking forward 2186 01:55:47,400 --> 01:55:49,880 Speaker 2: to seeing her, you know, back on top of her game. 2187 01:55:50,320 --> 01:55:53,120 Speaker 2: But to me, it used to be swimming dominates the 2188 01:55:53,200 --> 01:55:55,600 Speaker 2: first week and then track and fields the second week, 2189 01:55:56,240 --> 01:55:56,680 Speaker 2: and that's it. 2190 01:55:56,840 --> 01:55:59,120 Speaker 3: I mean, those were like the main sports. I mean 2191 01:55:59,200 --> 01:55:59,960 Speaker 3: I was old enough. 2192 01:56:00,040 --> 01:56:03,000 Speaker 2: Remember when Mark Spitz not only won seven gold medals, 2193 01:56:03,080 --> 01:56:04,800 Speaker 2: he sets seven world records. 2194 01:56:05,120 --> 01:56:06,120 Speaker 3: I mean it was crazy. 2195 01:56:07,240 --> 01:56:09,800 Speaker 2: And then of course when we talk about track and field, 2196 01:56:11,440 --> 01:56:13,440 Speaker 2: I mean, you can make an argument these are the 2197 01:56:13,560 --> 01:56:16,920 Speaker 2: greatest athletes on the planet. They can run, the fastest, jump, 2198 01:56:16,960 --> 01:56:20,720 Speaker 2: the highest you know, the strength the decathlon, maybe the 2199 01:56:20,800 --> 01:56:22,560 Speaker 2: greatest all around athlete. 2200 01:56:22,200 --> 01:56:22,680 Speaker 1: In the world. 2201 01:56:23,440 --> 01:56:25,200 Speaker 3: That to me is sort of like the pure sports, 2202 01:56:25,240 --> 01:56:27,880 Speaker 3: getting back to the original origins of what the Olympic 2203 01:56:27,960 --> 01:56:29,200 Speaker 3: Games were meant to be. 2204 01:56:30,000 --> 01:56:35,160 Speaker 1: It's it really is one of those I guess moments. 2205 01:56:35,320 --> 01:56:39,240 Speaker 1: I guess that's a way to sort of bring it 2206 01:56:39,360 --> 01:56:41,960 Speaker 1: down to a level. It's a moment where it really 2207 01:56:42,040 --> 01:56:44,040 Speaker 1: does feel like the whole world is checking in on 2208 01:56:44,160 --> 01:56:46,040 Speaker 1: the same thing at the same time. Oh yes, like 2209 01:56:46,640 --> 01:56:50,000 Speaker 1: we have our news cycle, we have our news I 2210 01:56:50,040 --> 01:56:53,360 Speaker 1: don't know, whatever pundits that we listen to, or we 2211 01:56:53,600 --> 01:56:56,880 Speaker 1: stream whatever podcast we got our news from, or whatever 2212 01:56:57,080 --> 01:56:59,640 Speaker 1: stations or networks we get our news from. But we 2213 01:56:59,720 --> 01:57:02,880 Speaker 1: don't often check in on the global news and something 2214 01:57:03,120 --> 01:57:06,440 Speaker 1: unless something catastrophic is going on. And there are very 2215 01:57:06,480 --> 01:57:09,920 Speaker 1: few times, outside of maybe the World Cup, where it 2216 01:57:10,000 --> 01:57:13,000 Speaker 1: feels like there's a lot of people around the entire 2217 01:57:13,080 --> 01:57:15,480 Speaker 1: world checking on the same thing at the same time, 2218 01:57:15,720 --> 01:57:17,800 Speaker 1: and the Olympics absolutely are one of them, which is 2219 01:57:17,880 --> 01:57:21,120 Speaker 1: a's a cool feeling when when you know whether it's 2220 01:57:21,120 --> 01:57:27,080 Speaker 1: a Michael Phelps or it's another potential world records setter 2221 01:57:27,920 --> 01:57:32,720 Speaker 1: or or Olympic record setter who we have some preamble 2222 01:57:32,840 --> 01:57:36,000 Speaker 1: toward what they're about to accomplish, it feels like you're 2223 01:57:36,040 --> 01:57:38,560 Speaker 1: doing the same thing everyone around the world is doing 2224 01:57:38,640 --> 01:57:41,520 Speaker 1: at the same time, and that's that's unique. It's a 2225 01:57:41,640 --> 01:57:45,080 Speaker 1: unique experience that it feels like only really a couple 2226 01:57:45,160 --> 01:57:47,600 Speaker 1: of events can do in a positive way, and the 2227 01:57:47,680 --> 01:57:49,160 Speaker 1: Olympics are absolutely one of them. 2228 01:57:50,280 --> 01:57:53,720 Speaker 2: And when they play our anthem when an American athlete 2229 01:57:53,760 --> 01:57:57,520 Speaker 2: wins a gold medal, I still get the chills. I'm sorry, 2230 01:57:57,640 --> 01:57:59,600 Speaker 2: I still get the chills. And and you know, it's 2231 01:57:59,600 --> 01:58:03,800 Speaker 2: always it varies from athlete to athlete just how emotional 2232 01:58:03,920 --> 01:58:04,200 Speaker 2: it is. 2233 01:58:04,720 --> 01:58:06,080 Speaker 3: You know, some athletes they get. 2234 01:58:06,040 --> 01:58:09,760 Speaker 2: Up there and they go through the ceremony, you know, 2235 01:58:10,040 --> 01:58:14,000 Speaker 2: it's just another ceremony, and then others get very emotional 2236 01:58:14,000 --> 01:58:16,440 Speaker 2: about it. But you know, and by the way, Olympic 2237 01:58:16,520 --> 01:58:18,600 Speaker 2: coverage over the years, and of course I grew up 2238 01:58:18,640 --> 01:58:21,760 Speaker 2: when ABC was doing the Olympics way back in the day. 2239 01:58:21,840 --> 01:58:24,600 Speaker 3: Jim McKay as you know, was the big host back 2240 01:58:24,640 --> 01:58:27,120 Speaker 3: in those days. But for the many years Bob Costas 2241 01:58:27,200 --> 01:58:28,960 Speaker 3: I've been for many many years with NBC. 2242 01:58:30,560 --> 01:58:34,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I just I get into it. I 2243 01:58:34,480 --> 01:58:37,960 Speaker 2: say to myself, how interested am I really? But once 2244 01:58:38,040 --> 01:58:39,680 Speaker 2: they begin, I sort of get into it. 2245 01:58:40,200 --> 01:58:42,960 Speaker 1: It's hard not to. And there always feels like an 2246 01:58:43,040 --> 01:58:48,080 Speaker 1: important American storyline that you have to follow. And maybe 2247 01:58:48,120 --> 01:58:50,320 Speaker 1: it's even one that you were unaware of until the 2248 01:58:50,400 --> 01:58:55,080 Speaker 1: Olympics started, until other people, other sports outlets, other broadcasters 2249 01:58:55,360 --> 01:58:58,320 Speaker 1: start picking up on, or there's an article written about it, 2250 01:58:58,400 --> 01:59:02,880 Speaker 1: whatever it may be.
