1
00:00:07,266 --> 00:00:09,706
Speaker 1: The Season with Peter Schreeger is a production of the

2
00:00:09,826 --> 00:00:25,626
Speaker 1: NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. What's Up, Everybody, Welcome to

3
00:00:25,786 --> 00:00:29,066
Speaker 1: the Season with Peter Schreger. We're about the midway point

4
00:00:29,706 --> 00:00:33,426
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty four NFL season. I'm Peter Schreger.

5
00:00:33,466 --> 00:00:35,866
Speaker 1: I host Good Morning Football NFL Network. I also am

6
00:00:35,906 --> 00:00:39,346
Speaker 1: one of the analysts on Fox NFL Kickoff on Sundays,

7
00:00:39,346 --> 00:00:42,106
Speaker 1: and at the midway point of the season, I always

8
00:00:42,146 --> 00:00:45,146
Speaker 1: like to take a second to look around see who's

9
00:00:45,186 --> 00:00:47,866
Speaker 1: doing what, who's been a surprise, who's been a disappointment,

10
00:00:49,066 --> 00:00:51,666
Speaker 1: and also what the story of the week is. And

11
00:00:51,746 --> 00:00:55,386
Speaker 1: this week we go to Indianapolis, a place where Pat

12
00:00:55,466 --> 00:00:58,586
Speaker 1: McAfee usually is the voice of reason and where we

13
00:00:58,706 --> 00:01:02,586
Speaker 1: have such luminaries as Bob Kravitz over the years and

14
00:01:02,666 --> 00:01:05,466
Speaker 1: Steven Holder, and I like to parachute in once in

15
00:01:05,546 --> 00:01:08,226
Speaker 1: a while to my two cents on a situation, and

16
00:01:08,586 --> 00:01:11,226
Speaker 1: this Anthony Richardson deal is worthy of a monologue. I

17
00:01:11,226 --> 00:01:15,426
Speaker 1: think because I sit in a role as a national

18
00:01:15,866 --> 00:01:19,466
Speaker 1: follower slash insiders slash analyst of those sport as a

19
00:01:19,506 --> 00:01:22,546
Speaker 1: morning show host, I do this five days a week,

20
00:01:23,186 --> 00:01:26,786
Speaker 1: three hours a day, and as a Sunday Insider, I

21
00:01:26,826 --> 00:01:29,746
Speaker 1: am trying to text everyone I can within every organization

22
00:01:29,826 --> 00:01:33,786
Speaker 1: to get some new piece of news. I've never never

23
00:01:34,306 --> 00:01:38,506
Speaker 1: in my life in football seen a quarterback tap out

24
00:01:38,546 --> 00:01:40,906
Speaker 1: of a play and walk off the field. And then

25
00:01:41,106 --> 00:01:44,146
Speaker 1: in the post game, as Anthony Richardson did did say,

26
00:01:44,506 --> 00:01:48,506
Speaker 1: I was just exhausted. I needed a playoff. The response

27
00:01:49,706 --> 00:01:54,306
Speaker 1: from X players is what's so fascinating, because I like

28
00:01:54,346 --> 00:01:55,826
Speaker 1: to think I've got a pulse of the league, a

29
00:01:55,826 --> 00:01:58,546
Speaker 1: pulse of the game, and a pulse of how people

30
00:01:58,586 --> 00:02:01,706
Speaker 1: would react. And I think a lot of people afterwards

31
00:02:01,706 --> 00:02:05,826
Speaker 1: were like, that is an atrocity, and that is something

32
00:02:05,826 --> 00:02:08,626
Speaker 1: that can be done. And I take it with more

33
00:02:08,666 --> 00:02:12,266
Speaker 1: irrational thinking. I'm like, oh, relax, he needed a playoff.

34
00:02:12,666 --> 00:02:15,466
Speaker 1: He just ran around thirty yards. And even Brian Flores

35
00:02:15,506 --> 00:02:17,226
Speaker 1: this week came out was like, did you see the play?

36
00:02:17,666 --> 00:02:20,506
Speaker 1: He was And I figured, all right, voices of reason

37
00:02:20,546 --> 00:02:24,746
Speaker 1: will come out. I couldn't have been more off every

38
00:02:25,026 --> 00:02:29,106
Speaker 1: X player that I speak with, every position. It was

39
00:02:29,186 --> 00:02:32,506
Speaker 1: as if what this guy did tapping his helmet was

40
00:02:32,586 --> 00:02:37,226
Speaker 1: breaking some unwritten rule that is just a line too far,

41
00:02:39,426 --> 00:02:43,186
Speaker 1: a crime to humanity on the football field. To tap out,

42
00:02:43,346 --> 00:02:46,346
Speaker 1: and that if you do one thing as a player,

43
00:02:46,626 --> 00:02:49,226
Speaker 1: you show toughness and you fight it out, and if

44
00:02:49,266 --> 00:02:51,786
Speaker 1: you do one thing as a player, you grinn and Barrett,

45
00:02:51,826 --> 00:02:53,466
Speaker 1: And if you do one thing as a player, you

46
00:02:54,066 --> 00:02:57,706
Speaker 1: fight and crawl and get through it so that they

47
00:02:57,706 --> 00:03:01,106
Speaker 1: can never take you off the field. Chase Daniel was

48
00:03:01,146 --> 00:03:03,066
Speaker 1: near tears on Monday, and I'm like in my head,

49
00:03:03,106 --> 00:03:05,546
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, come on, stop being so dramatic, dude.

50
00:03:06,466 --> 00:03:10,426
Speaker 1: And yet unanimously I talk to these ex players over

51
00:03:10,506 --> 00:03:13,266
Speaker 1: text and they're like, oh, no, that guy's done. I

52
00:03:13,306 --> 00:03:15,586
Speaker 1: can't I would never No, Like I can't look in

53
00:03:15,626 --> 00:03:18,346
Speaker 1: the huddle again. I'm like, really, it's one of those

54
00:03:18,426 --> 00:03:25,106
Speaker 1: rare instances where the delta between me, as you know, analyst, insider,

55
00:03:25,146 --> 00:03:27,706
Speaker 1: et cetera, thinking I've got a feel for everything in

56
00:03:27,746 --> 00:03:30,466
Speaker 1: football can still be surprised twenty years into this thing

57
00:03:30,986 --> 00:03:34,826
Speaker 1: by the ex players who are so taken aback. And

58
00:03:34,946 --> 00:03:36,586
Speaker 1: if you think X players have a voice, I am

59
00:03:36,626 --> 00:03:40,106
Speaker 1: sure the text chains of current players is probably vibrant

60
00:03:40,146 --> 00:03:46,986
Speaker 1: as well. Is it a forgivable mistake? I would like

61
00:03:47,026 --> 00:03:53,186
Speaker 1: to think so. Here was Colt center Ryan Kelly responding

62
00:03:53,386 --> 00:03:56,786
Speaker 1: to the Anthony richardson tap of the helmet calling out

63
00:03:56,826 --> 00:03:58,186
Speaker 1: of a game on Sunday.

64
00:03:58,906 --> 00:04:00,266
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think you know, we had a

65
00:04:00,266 --> 00:04:02,146
Speaker 2: conversation about it, and you know, I think you noticed

66
00:04:02,146 --> 00:04:03,986
Speaker 2: not the standard that you know that he needs to

67
00:04:03,986 --> 00:04:05,266
Speaker 2: play up to and the rest of the team holds

68
00:04:05,306 --> 00:04:07,706
Speaker 2: them too, And kind of leave the conversation that we

69
00:04:07,786 --> 00:04:11,466
Speaker 2: had at that. But you know, I'm sure he's gonna

70
00:04:11,466 --> 00:04:13,706
Speaker 2: take some criticism for that. It's just rightfully so right.

71
00:04:13,746 --> 00:04:16,186
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a tough, tough look. But I'm also

72
00:04:16,226 --> 00:04:19,066
Speaker 2: you know, he's out there giving it all for his team, right,

73
00:04:19,106 --> 00:04:21,426
Speaker 2: and it's not always pretty sometimes, you know, an offensive

74
00:04:22,346 --> 00:04:24,066
Speaker 2: loll the last couple of weeks, you know, just having

75
00:04:24,066 --> 00:04:25,826
Speaker 2: a hard time getting going at times.

76
00:04:25,866 --> 00:04:27,506
Speaker 3: I thought we did some good things in the game.

77
00:04:27,546 --> 00:04:30,946
Speaker 2: But if anybody ever questions how hard he plays, I

78
00:04:30,986 --> 00:04:32,266
Speaker 2: don't think that that's the case. I mean, if you

79
00:04:32,306 --> 00:04:35,746
Speaker 2: watch this film, you know, surely you know we didn't

80
00:04:35,786 --> 00:04:38,786
Speaker 2: move the ball effectively at times. But I mean he's

81
00:04:38,826 --> 00:04:41,866
Speaker 2: giving it everything for his teammates. So he's young. I'm

82
00:04:41,906 --> 00:04:45,186
Speaker 2: sure it's a learning moment for him. And leave at that.

83
00:04:45,906 --> 00:04:48,066
Speaker 1: I listened to a guy like Kelly who is a

84
00:04:48,106 --> 00:04:51,786
Speaker 1: longtime veteran on that team who has not had a

85
00:04:51,826 --> 00:04:54,426
Speaker 1: ton of success. I think of Quentin Nelson, who's now

86
00:04:54,466 --> 00:04:58,226
Speaker 1: been there since the sa Quon Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson,

87
00:04:58,306 --> 00:05:01,426
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield draft and thinking about the lack

88
00:05:01,466 --> 00:05:03,306
Speaker 1: of success he's had in his career. I think of

89
00:05:03,386 --> 00:05:06,546
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard, who's been the GM for eight years and

90
00:05:06,586 --> 00:05:09,346
Speaker 1: it's had just about every different player in the NFL

91
00:05:09,426 --> 00:05:12,026
Speaker 1: suit up as quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts in that

92
00:05:12,146 --> 00:05:16,186
Speaker 1: time span since Andrew Luck abruptly retired from the game.

93
00:05:16,466 --> 00:05:19,706
Speaker 1: I think about all those guys, and now we have

94
00:05:19,786 --> 00:05:24,266
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco at quarterback again in Indianapolis. And there's two

95
00:05:24,346 --> 00:05:28,946
Speaker 1: ways to look at this. One of them is always

96
00:05:28,946 --> 00:05:31,866
Speaker 1: play the best player, get him out there. And if

97
00:05:31,946 --> 00:05:33,906
Speaker 1: you think Joe Flacco gives you the best chance to

98
00:05:33,946 --> 00:05:37,586
Speaker 1: win in Indianapolis tapping of the helmet or not, you

99
00:05:37,626 --> 00:05:40,546
Speaker 1: play Joe Flacco. He's earned that. Or you think of

100
00:05:40,586 --> 00:05:44,106
Speaker 1: it long term and you think about the potential long

101
00:05:44,226 --> 00:05:48,386
Speaker 1: term damage of benching a player like Anthony Richardson, a

102
00:05:48,466 --> 00:05:52,266
Speaker 1: fourth overall pick who's very green, who I think started

103
00:05:52,346 --> 00:05:55,706
Speaker 1: thirteen games at the University of Florida, and you think

104
00:05:55,746 --> 00:05:59,706
Speaker 1: about does this scar him forever? I do want to

105
00:05:59,706 --> 00:06:02,146
Speaker 1: poke a hole in that ladder thinking because there's a

106
00:06:02,146 --> 00:06:04,346
Speaker 1: lot of people who say that, how could you bench

107
00:06:04,386 --> 00:06:06,026
Speaker 1: the kid? And what's the point You're not winning the

108
00:06:06,066 --> 00:06:10,346
Speaker 1: Super Bow? Why would you put Flacco in? There used

109
00:06:10,346 --> 00:06:12,706
Speaker 1: to be a time where quarterbacks were allowed to be

110
00:06:12,706 --> 00:06:16,146
Speaker 1: benched without everyone being in hysterics over it. I think

111
00:06:16,146 --> 00:06:18,506
Speaker 1: this is a redux of my monologue when Bryce Young

112
00:06:18,586 --> 00:06:23,066
Speaker 1: was benched and everyone put on, you know, their their

113
00:06:23,106 --> 00:06:26,946
Speaker 1: white dresses and clutched their pearls and said, how dare

114
00:06:27,026 --> 00:06:33,106
Speaker 1: we the humanity, the inhumanity, the cruelty of benching a quarterback.

115
00:06:34,066 --> 00:06:37,306
Speaker 1: I grew up a Giants fan. Phil Simms was benched

116
00:06:37,386 --> 00:06:41,466
Speaker 1: for Scott Brunner. I work with Terry Bradshaw. Terry Bradshaw

117
00:06:42,146 --> 00:06:44,946
Speaker 1: had to fight and claw to become the starting quarterback

118
00:06:44,986 --> 00:06:46,986
Speaker 1: of the Pittsburgh Steelers after losing his job as a

119
00:06:47,066 --> 00:06:53,546
Speaker 1: first overall pick. The NFL history books are littered with

120
00:06:53,666 --> 00:06:57,786
Speaker 1: situations where early draft picks had to fight for their job.

121
00:06:58,466 --> 00:07:00,826
Speaker 1: Do you realize that Troy Aikman was the first overall

122
00:07:00,906 --> 00:07:04,226
Speaker 1: pick and was fighting with Steve Walsh for a gig

123
00:07:04,346 --> 00:07:07,786
Speaker 1: because Steve Walsh was who Jimmy Johnson at Miami and

124
00:07:07,866 --> 00:07:10,466
Speaker 1: they got him in the supplemental draft, and Steve Walsh

125
00:07:10,546 --> 00:07:13,386
Speaker 1: and a lot of Cowboys fans was the opinions of

126
00:07:13,466 --> 00:07:15,866
Speaker 1: the better option than Troy Aikman, and that Steve Walsh

127
00:07:16,266 --> 00:07:19,866
Speaker 1: got a ton of starts. Steve McNair didn't start that

128
00:07:19,946 --> 00:07:22,386
Speaker 1: first year, Chris Chandler did. And when Steve McNair went

129
00:07:22,426 --> 00:07:24,746
Speaker 1: in and struggled, they would consider going to Chandler. Michael

130
00:07:24,826 --> 00:07:27,266
Speaker 1: Vick didn't start that first year, Chris Chandler did, same

131
00:07:27,346 --> 00:07:30,226
Speaker 1: side of thing. They would go back and forth. It

132
00:07:30,426 --> 00:07:33,266
Speaker 1: wasn't always this case where once you start the rookie,

133
00:07:33,346 --> 00:07:35,186
Speaker 1: it's just let him take the wheel and drive and

134
00:07:35,386 --> 00:07:37,506
Speaker 1: just we gotta just go through the pen, and gosh,

135
00:07:37,546 --> 00:07:40,666
Speaker 1: if you bench him, you know, can you imagine the

136
00:07:40,706 --> 00:07:43,106
Speaker 1: psychological drama that will go down if he has to

137
00:07:43,186 --> 00:07:46,186
Speaker 1: go back on the bench. I think in this instance,

138
00:07:46,746 --> 00:07:48,426
Speaker 1: tapping the helmet might have been what did him in

139
00:07:48,466 --> 00:07:50,506
Speaker 1: in the end. But I also think in this instance

140
00:07:51,266 --> 00:07:55,226
Speaker 1: they see it every day. Joe Flacco gives those veterans

141
00:07:55,266 --> 00:07:57,666
Speaker 1: and those players in the room a better chance to win,

142
00:07:57,986 --> 00:08:01,546
Speaker 1: just as in Carolina. When Andy Dalton was inserted for

143
00:08:01,666 --> 00:08:05,066
Speaker 1: Bryce Young, there was no great outcry. And when the

144
00:08:05,186 --> 00:08:07,826
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers won that game coming out of that thing,

145
00:08:08,426 --> 00:08:10,866
Speaker 1: the game ball was given to Dave Kanalis, the head coach,

146
00:08:10,986 --> 00:08:14,106
Speaker 1: for that gutsy decision. I have no problem with the

147
00:08:14,146 --> 00:08:16,706
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts going to Joe Flacco, and I have no

148
00:08:16,906 --> 00:08:19,546
Speaker 1: problem with the door being left open for Anthony Richardson

149
00:08:19,626 --> 00:08:21,906
Speaker 1: to come back into the lineup at some point. I

150
00:08:21,986 --> 00:08:23,666
Speaker 1: don't know when we got to this point in the

151
00:08:23,826 --> 00:08:27,866
Speaker 1: NFL's quarterback process and progression of development. Deal is that

152
00:08:27,906 --> 00:08:30,186
Speaker 1: once you get the starting nod, you can never be replaced.

153
00:08:30,786 --> 00:08:33,226
Speaker 1: Once upon a time, quarterbacks did get replaced, and in

154
00:08:33,306 --> 00:08:37,586
Speaker 1: this case, whether you believe Anthony Richardson is the inferior

155
00:08:37,666 --> 00:08:41,026
Speaker 1: quarterback to Joe Flacco or not, the Colts coaching staff

156
00:08:41,106 --> 00:08:44,226
Speaker 1: obviously doesn't want to bench their starter. They're doing this

157
00:08:44,346 --> 00:08:46,786
Speaker 1: for a reason. They see a light, they see a

158
00:08:46,906 --> 00:08:49,466
Speaker 1: chance to win, and they see Joe Flacco as the

159
00:08:49,866 --> 00:08:53,546
Speaker 1: better way to get there. That's Indianapolis. I have not

160
00:08:53,586 --> 00:08:56,146
Speaker 1: been in Indiapolis since the combine. I couldn't tell you

161
00:08:56,466 --> 00:08:59,026
Speaker 1: what the pulse of the fans are there. I live

162
00:08:59,066 --> 00:09:03,066
Speaker 1: in New York. I'm here every day. New York is

163
00:09:03,146 --> 00:09:06,906
Speaker 1: going through one of the great pendulum moments in sports fandom.

164
00:09:07,866 --> 00:09:10,666
Speaker 1: Let me take you through it. The Knicks had just

165
00:09:10,786 --> 00:09:14,706
Speaker 1: traded for Karl Anthony Towns, the Rangers were starting their season,

166
00:09:14,906 --> 00:09:17,306
Speaker 1: the Liberty were winning the Championship, and the Mets and

167
00:09:17,546 --> 00:09:21,186
Speaker 1: Yankees were both in the playoffs. The Giants were fresh

168
00:09:21,266 --> 00:09:23,746
Speaker 1: off of win over Seattle, and the Jets had just

169
00:09:23,906 --> 00:09:26,266
Speaker 1: beaten the Patriots. This was all about a month ago.

170
00:09:27,826 --> 00:09:31,506
Speaker 1: In the last few weeks, the Jets cannot find a win.

171
00:09:31,986 --> 00:09:34,706
Speaker 1: Greg'szer line cannot kick the ball through it upright, and

172
00:09:34,786 --> 00:09:37,186
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers looks like a forty one year old quarterback

173
00:09:37,226 --> 00:09:40,226
Speaker 1: coming off of an achilles injury. The Giants cannot find

174
00:09:40,306 --> 00:09:43,666
Speaker 1: a touchdown if they were paid to do so. Daniel

175
00:09:43,746 --> 00:09:46,146
Speaker 1: Jones can't win in prime time. Both teams are two

176
00:09:46,226 --> 00:09:49,706
Speaker 1: and six and in the very basement of their standings.

177
00:09:49,786 --> 00:09:53,746
Speaker 1: The Mets have since been eliminated, and the Yankees had

178
00:09:53,826 --> 00:09:57,266
Speaker 1: lost three games to start the World Series to the

179
00:09:57,506 --> 00:10:02,026
Speaker 1: former crosstown rivals, them Bums, the Brooklyn Dodgers. And yet,

180
00:10:02,186 --> 00:10:06,746
Speaker 1: as we record this on a Wednesday morning, there is

181
00:10:06,786 --> 00:10:11,026
Speaker 1: a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of light. The Yankees

182
00:10:11,066 --> 00:10:14,786
Speaker 1: got the best of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night.

183
00:10:16,146 --> 00:10:20,066
Speaker 1: The Giants can play spoiler to the Washington Commanders this weekend,

184
00:10:20,146 --> 00:10:24,586
Speaker 1: and the Jets host the Texans and are somehow favorites

185
00:10:24,746 --> 00:10:26,946
Speaker 1: on Thursday evening. I don't know when you're listening to this,

186
00:10:28,146 --> 00:10:29,786
Speaker 1: and you might be listening to it over the weekend,

187
00:10:30,266 --> 00:10:32,546
Speaker 1: but we're here on a Wednesday morning. We're recording here,

188
00:10:33,346 --> 00:10:35,306
Speaker 1: and I felt like there was no better guests to

189
00:10:35,346 --> 00:10:37,946
Speaker 1: bring on than the guy whose podcast I listened to

190
00:10:38,186 --> 00:10:41,666
Speaker 1: when I wake up after a big New York sports moment.

191
00:10:42,186 --> 00:10:46,586
Speaker 1: This used to be the Mike Francessa Chris Russo slot.

192
00:10:46,746 --> 00:10:49,626
Speaker 1: This used to be no matter what, I'm listening to

193
00:10:49,746 --> 00:10:52,746
Speaker 1: Francessa and I'm finding a way. I have now since

194
00:10:52,786 --> 00:10:55,626
Speaker 1: been converted to a JJ guy. That might be my

195
00:10:55,666 --> 00:10:57,906
Speaker 1: allegiance to Bill Simmons and the Ringer. It might be

196
00:10:58,026 --> 00:11:01,946
Speaker 1: my allegiance to talent and quality. He's also a Dolphins fan.

197
00:11:02,346 --> 00:11:04,946
Speaker 1: But just wait till you get the thick New York

198
00:11:05,186 --> 00:11:13,426
Speaker 1: accent and the entire JJ Jastremsky experience. John Jastremsky's our guest.

199
00:11:13,506 --> 00:11:15,146
Speaker 1: He's gonna give us the pulse of New York right

200
00:11:15,146 --> 00:11:25,586
Speaker 1: after this. All right, our guest is one of my

201
00:11:25,626 --> 00:11:27,906
Speaker 1: favorite people in sports media. We've become friends over the

202
00:11:27,986 --> 00:11:32,226
Speaker 1: last few years. He's a fellow Brooklyn resident, and I

203
00:11:32,386 --> 00:11:35,546
Speaker 1: think he's now the voice of New York sports. I

204
00:11:35,626 --> 00:11:37,186
Speaker 1: see him on S and Y in a suit and

205
00:11:37,266 --> 00:11:39,986
Speaker 1: tie like a gentleman, and then I see him on

206
00:11:40,146 --> 00:11:42,826
Speaker 1: the Ringer podcast New York New York, which has been coming.

207
00:11:42,906 --> 00:11:46,026
Speaker 1: I go to destination every morning after these Yankees and

208
00:11:46,106 --> 00:11:49,466
Speaker 1: Mets games, and he's dressed like the casual fan that

209
00:11:49,626 --> 00:11:52,066
Speaker 1: I know he has deep in his heart. It is JJ,

210
00:11:52,546 --> 00:11:57,066
Speaker 1: mister John Jastremsk JJ. What's up man, Trex? Thanks for

211
00:11:57,106 --> 00:12:00,826
Speaker 1: the con introduction number one, number two. Thanks for listening.

212
00:12:01,026 --> 00:12:04,546
Speaker 4: It's been super fun over the last month, really over

213
00:12:04,626 --> 00:12:09,626
Speaker 4: the last twelve months into all these fun, fascinating New

214
00:12:09,746 --> 00:12:13,746
Speaker 4: York sports angles and hey, we live to die another day.

215
00:12:13,906 --> 00:12:18,146
Speaker 4: I think Simmons booked me after Game four thinking shrikes

216
00:12:18,186 --> 00:12:21,266
Speaker 4: he was gonna get a sleep. Anthony Vaulpi and Austin

217
00:12:21,266 --> 00:12:23,426
Speaker 4: Wells had o their plans, but we're fired up, man.

218
00:12:23,506 --> 00:12:24,186
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me.

219
00:12:24,546 --> 00:12:27,386
Speaker 1: We're recording this on Wednesday mornings, So if you're listening

220
00:12:27,466 --> 00:12:30,266
Speaker 1: now and it's Thursday or Friday or Saturday, I that's

221
00:12:30,266 --> 00:12:33,546
Speaker 1: old news. The Dodgers won. Okay, let me get this

222
00:12:33,706 --> 00:12:37,106
Speaker 1: moment in time for us as Yankees people and as

223
00:12:37,226 --> 00:12:40,266
Speaker 1: New Yorkers. They're down three to zero. I was in

224
00:12:40,346 --> 00:12:43,946
Speaker 1: the building on Tuesday night. It was as dark and

225
00:12:44,066 --> 00:12:46,506
Speaker 1: depressing a place. I'm sorry, Monday night, it was as

226
00:12:46,626 --> 00:12:48,746
Speaker 1: dark and depressing a place as you could imagine. Walking

227
00:12:48,786 --> 00:12:52,106
Speaker 1: out of there, taking the four train home, just selling faces.

228
00:12:52,266 --> 00:12:54,306
Speaker 1: We're gonna get swept by the Dodgers. They're gonna do

229
00:12:54,386 --> 00:12:57,106
Speaker 1: a champagne parade on the field on the Yankee Stadium,

230
00:12:57,146 --> 00:13:00,066
Speaker 1: and it's another series that's gonna end with the opposing

231
00:13:00,226 --> 00:13:04,626
Speaker 1: team celebrating in this stadium. And then Tuesday night, after

232
00:13:04,746 --> 00:13:08,426
Speaker 1: being down two to one, gets it going. They put

233
00:13:08,466 --> 00:13:09,946
Speaker 1: the runs on the board and then they pile it

234
00:13:10,066 --> 00:13:13,146
Speaker 1: on to Honeywell late. And I know this is traditionally

235
00:13:13,186 --> 00:13:16,746
Speaker 1: a football podcast, but like you feel it in New

236
00:13:16,866 --> 00:13:19,226
Speaker 1: York in a way that I can't explain it. As

237
00:13:19,266 --> 00:13:22,266
Speaker 1: we record this at noon on Wednesday, that like it's

238
00:13:22,306 --> 00:13:25,666
Speaker 1: almost the guys having a cardiac event, and he gets

239
00:13:25,706 --> 00:13:30,306
Speaker 1: to the fibrillators and suddenly the city's alive again. And

240
00:13:31,586 --> 00:13:33,346
Speaker 1: you were in the building Monday. You're gonna be in

241
00:13:33,386 --> 00:13:36,186
Speaker 1: the building tonight. Take us to the ethos of a

242
00:13:36,266 --> 00:13:39,026
Speaker 1: New York sports fan as you're hitting the brink of

243
00:13:39,106 --> 00:13:41,266
Speaker 1: extinction and then you got one last fight. We're not

244
00:13:41,386 --> 00:13:41,866
Speaker 1: dead yet.

245
00:13:43,386 --> 00:13:46,266
Speaker 4: I think you nailed the range of emotions that you've

246
00:13:46,306 --> 00:13:48,026
Speaker 4: had within Yankee fans shrikes.

247
00:13:48,146 --> 00:13:50,386
Speaker 3: And you know this, You've lived in New York City

248
00:13:50,426 --> 00:13:52,426
Speaker 3: a long long time. We're in Brooklyn.

249
00:13:52,906 --> 00:13:55,786
Speaker 4: There is a different viob There is a different buzz

250
00:13:56,226 --> 00:13:59,306
Speaker 4: when you have teams in the baseball playoffs going deeper

251
00:13:59,386 --> 00:14:02,226
Speaker 4: and deeper into the playoffs. Right like you're walking around.

252
00:14:02,266 --> 00:14:04,106
Speaker 4: You saw all the med hats a week two ago.

253
00:14:04,706 --> 00:14:07,066
Speaker 4: Now you've seen all the Yankee hats out about. And

254
00:14:08,186 --> 00:14:13,146
Speaker 4: the new Yankee Stadium doesn't necessarily rock the way the

255
00:14:13,266 --> 00:14:16,706
Speaker 4: old plays did. Now that said, Game three, you were there.

256
00:14:16,786 --> 00:14:21,106
Speaker 4: I was there thirty minutes before the game. Legend seats packed,

257
00:14:21,706 --> 00:14:25,506
Speaker 4: every seat packed, everybody is rip rawing, ready to go,

258
00:14:25,826 --> 00:14:29,666
Speaker 4: Jeter throwing out the first pitch, the awful Fat Joe concert.

259
00:14:31,666 --> 00:14:33,506
Speaker 1: Dude, it was so bad and I want Joe. This

260
00:14:33,666 --> 00:14:36,226
Speaker 1: is the anti fat I think it's still going. I

261
00:14:36,306 --> 00:14:39,506
Speaker 1: think it was mean to the viewers and listeners at home,

262
00:14:39,906 --> 00:14:42,386
Speaker 1: the high after Derek Jeter throws out a first pitch

263
00:14:42,426 --> 00:14:44,506
Speaker 1: and his shirt and tie and is hugging his daughter's

264
00:14:45,146 --> 00:14:48,226
Speaker 1: Generations of Yankees fans in tears over this moment of

265
00:14:48,386 --> 00:14:51,986
Speaker 1: Jeter throwing out this first pitch at Yankee Stadium in

266
00:14:52,106 --> 00:14:55,626
Speaker 1: the World Series, and then to answer the ice Cube concert,

267
00:14:55,706 --> 00:14:58,026
Speaker 1: which was a home run game too, the Yankees trot

268
00:14:58,066 --> 00:15:00,426
Speaker 1: out that Joe who's in New York and Bronx legend,

269
00:15:01,226 --> 00:15:03,786
Speaker 1: but he's kind of on the pitching mound and you're like,

270
00:15:04,066 --> 00:15:06,026
Speaker 1: don't go on the mound, and then it piss goes

271
00:15:06,106 --> 00:15:10,106
Speaker 1: on and on and on, and it's the vibe did

272
00:15:10,226 --> 00:15:12,066
Speaker 1: have a certain feel at the Jeter moment, and I

273
00:15:12,146 --> 00:15:12,946
Speaker 1: was like, let's play ball.

274
00:15:13,066 --> 00:15:14,186
Speaker 3: And then there was the concert.

275
00:15:15,026 --> 00:15:17,226
Speaker 4: Yeah, no question, and it was the perfect time for

276
00:15:17,346 --> 00:15:19,026
Speaker 4: me to say, all right, I'm gonna go get myself

277
00:15:19,106 --> 00:15:20,986
Speaker 4: some food and a cocktail and be in my seat

278
00:15:20,986 --> 00:15:22,746
Speaker 4: and ready to go. And I was there for the

279
00:15:22,786 --> 00:15:26,826
Speaker 4: first pitch, but like all of that emotion went completely

280
00:15:26,946 --> 00:15:30,226
Speaker 4: out the window when Freddie Freeman goes Yachtzi and it

281
00:15:30,346 --> 00:15:32,186
Speaker 4: was no doubt the minute the ball left his bat,

282
00:15:32,266 --> 00:15:34,946
Speaker 4: it was leaving the yard. Judge strikes out in the

283
00:15:34,986 --> 00:15:37,346
Speaker 4: first inning and it's like, oh, here we go. This

284
00:15:37,546 --> 00:15:40,346
Speaker 4: game is an absolute dud, and Peter it felt like

285
00:15:40,426 --> 00:15:44,226
Speaker 4: it was gonna go that way again in Game four,

286
00:15:44,386 --> 00:15:46,746
Speaker 4: where it's like this guy's gonna do it again.

287
00:15:46,866 --> 00:15:49,866
Speaker 3: He homers in his fourth straight World Series Game six.

288
00:15:49,986 --> 00:15:51,506
Speaker 4: If you go back to the two we had with

289
00:15:51,586 --> 00:15:54,746
Speaker 4: the Atlanta Braves back in twenty twenty one, but I

290
00:15:54,906 --> 00:15:57,626
Speaker 4: kind of hit on this doing the pot after Game three,

291
00:15:58,546 --> 00:16:00,866
Speaker 4: show some fight, show some pride.

292
00:16:01,506 --> 00:16:04,426
Speaker 3: Don't allow the Dodgers to go and celebrate on your field.

293
00:16:04,466 --> 00:16:07,946
Speaker 4: And for one night, it's the line of the Jersey

294
00:16:08,106 --> 00:16:13,186
Speaker 4: kid who idolized Derek Jeter, who's now playing shortstop for

295
00:16:13,226 --> 00:16:16,626
Speaker 4: the New York Yankees, who has a base running blunder

296
00:16:16,706 --> 00:16:18,466
Speaker 4: in his second inning that you think is going to

297
00:16:18,506 --> 00:16:21,946
Speaker 4: be costly. Everybody forgets about that. When the ball leaves

298
00:16:22,026 --> 00:16:23,706
Speaker 4: his bat, it's a grand slam.

299
00:16:23,826 --> 00:16:25,346
Speaker 3: People are throwing beer in the air.

300
00:16:25,746 --> 00:16:28,666
Speaker 4: Then he's stealing a bunch of bases, and now it's like, hey,

301
00:16:29,146 --> 00:16:30,946
Speaker 4: can they go and get another one?

302
00:16:31,146 --> 00:16:32,786
Speaker 3: That's the way I'm kind of looking at this, Peter.

303
00:16:32,826 --> 00:16:34,786
Speaker 4: I'm not like, hey, the Yankees are winning this series,

304
00:16:34,946 --> 00:16:37,706
Speaker 4: or hey they can get can they get it back.

305
00:16:37,626 --> 00:16:39,226
Speaker 3: To La That's what I ask.

306
00:16:39,706 --> 00:16:42,866
Speaker 1: And you went into this on your podcast, which I'm

307
00:16:42,946 --> 00:16:45,546
Speaker 1: telling you is appointment listening, even if you're not a

308
00:16:45,586 --> 00:16:47,706
Speaker 1: New York sportsman, just to get the pulse in the morning.

309
00:16:48,746 --> 00:16:51,106
Speaker 1: Take us through the history of other teams dancing and

310
00:16:51,226 --> 00:16:53,666
Speaker 1: celebrating and doing champagne showers in this building.

311
00:16:54,946 --> 00:16:57,666
Speaker 4: So it went in the old Yankee Stadium for like

312
00:16:57,746 --> 00:17:00,106
Speaker 4: an eternity when nobody had celebrated on the field. I

313
00:17:00,146 --> 00:17:02,506
Speaker 4: think it was eighty one the Dodgers did, and then

314
00:17:02,586 --> 00:17:05,826
Speaker 4: the next celebration was Beckett on three days rest.

315
00:17:05,866 --> 00:17:09,506
Speaker 3: Whicheverone adult was the most insane. Think about that general move.

316
00:17:09,666 --> 00:17:13,266
Speaker 4: Ever, three days rest, and Peter, they were up three

317
00:17:13,386 --> 00:17:16,186
Speaker 4: to two in the series. But mckeanny's smoking cigars and

318
00:17:16,226 --> 00:17:18,866
Speaker 4: he's like, nah, man, Will had to rip. We're not

319
00:17:19,026 --> 00:17:21,066
Speaker 4: getting to a Game seven at Yankee Stadium. And we

320
00:17:21,146 --> 00:17:23,906
Speaker 4: know what happened. But then there started to be this

321
00:17:24,146 --> 00:17:26,586
Speaker 4: sort of hey, way too many teams to celebrate at

322
00:17:26,666 --> 00:17:30,386
Speaker 4: Yankee Stadium. Red Sox SO four, Cleveland and seven and

323
00:17:30,506 --> 00:17:34,026
Speaker 4: in the new stadium. It's happened way too often. Tiger's

324
00:17:34,066 --> 00:17:36,986
Speaker 4: in eleven. I was there for that Astros in fifteen

325
00:17:37,146 --> 00:17:40,986
Speaker 4: Wildcard game. I was there for that eighteen the Red

326
00:17:41,066 --> 00:17:43,266
Speaker 4: Sox on what was a bang bang play and they

327
00:17:43,346 --> 00:17:45,866
Speaker 4: go to replay and it was like literally they had

328
00:17:45,946 --> 00:17:48,626
Speaker 4: like a bang bang Laberg Juniez ground bawl.

329
00:17:49,186 --> 00:17:50,866
Speaker 3: We saw the replay. I looked at my wife and

330
00:17:50,946 --> 00:17:53,226
Speaker 3: my sister, I go get up, will we even down?

331
00:17:53,346 --> 00:17:56,346
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna watch this. It's over. And then it

332
00:17:56,426 --> 00:17:58,226
Speaker 3: happened in twenty twenty two with the Astros.

333
00:17:58,306 --> 00:18:00,906
Speaker 4: So what I'm getting at here is it's happened way

334
00:18:00,986 --> 00:18:05,626
Speaker 4: too much for a franchise that shouldn't necessarily be allowing

335
00:18:05,826 --> 00:18:08,426
Speaker 4: these sort of self obrations to happen on their field

336
00:18:08,546 --> 00:18:09,506
Speaker 4: in front of their fans.

337
00:18:09,586 --> 00:18:11,586
Speaker 3: So I don't want to see it in Game five

338
00:18:11,666 --> 00:18:12,306
Speaker 3: with the Dodgers.

339
00:18:12,666 --> 00:18:15,466
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been such a good series. I actually was

340
00:18:15,546 --> 00:18:18,746
Speaker 1: really impressed with the Dodger fan turnout. It's been pretty

341
00:18:18,786 --> 00:18:20,466
Speaker 1: civil too. I mean again, they were up three to

342
00:18:20,506 --> 00:18:23,266
Speaker 1: zero when I was there, but they not only have

343
00:18:23,426 --> 00:18:26,626
Speaker 1: shown their faces, they've come in mass and in my

344
00:18:26,826 --> 00:18:28,786
Speaker 1: section at least, and I was sitting up in the

345
00:18:28,826 --> 00:18:31,106
Speaker 1: two hundreds. I'm not a Howdy Toddy. I'm in the

346
00:18:31,186 --> 00:18:32,746
Speaker 1: legend syat or anything like that, and I'm not in

347
00:18:32,826 --> 00:18:35,706
Speaker 1: the press box and I don't cover baseball. There were

348
00:18:35,706 --> 00:18:38,306
Speaker 1: a lot of Dodgers fans and they were confidently walking

349
00:18:38,386 --> 00:18:40,906
Speaker 1: around there's no danger or harm and maybe tonight it'll

350
00:18:40,946 --> 00:18:42,666
Speaker 1: be a little different in the park where I'll be

351
00:18:42,746 --> 00:18:45,106
Speaker 1: going and so will you. But like, it's kind of

352
00:18:45,146 --> 00:18:47,706
Speaker 1: cool seeing these two teams, traditional franchises, and of course

353
00:18:47,746 --> 00:18:49,946
Speaker 1: the history with the Brooklyn Dodgers moving out that there

354
00:18:50,066 --> 00:18:52,146
Speaker 1: is this fan base that either A flew in or b.

355
00:18:52,466 --> 00:18:53,746
Speaker 1: There are a lot of New York City and New

356
00:18:53,826 --> 00:18:56,146
Speaker 1: York Area Dodger fans that still exists from generations to go.

357
00:18:57,226 --> 00:18:57,906
Speaker 3: It's badass.

358
00:18:58,186 --> 00:19:01,666
Speaker 4: And you know, Peter, for the last seven years, you've

359
00:19:01,706 --> 00:19:05,266
Speaker 4: been taking Yankees Dodgers like this goes back to twenty

360
00:19:05,346 --> 00:19:08,986
Speaker 4: seventeen when the Dodgers took care of the Cubs and

361
00:19:09,106 --> 00:19:13,386
Speaker 4: the Yankees miraculously won three straight games against the Astros,

362
00:19:13,466 --> 00:19:16,226
Speaker 4: and you're like, wow, twenty seventeen, we're gonna get it.

363
00:19:16,306 --> 00:19:18,546
Speaker 4: It's gonna be Dodgers, it's gonna be Yankees. Just like

364
00:19:18,626 --> 00:19:22,706
Speaker 4: the old times. And every year since it's been like

365
00:19:22,826 --> 00:19:28,106
Speaker 4: this preseason narrative, this mid season narrative that you don't

366
00:19:28,186 --> 00:19:31,906
Speaker 4: get the payout. We finally got the payout this year.

367
00:19:32,506 --> 00:19:35,506
Speaker 4: And it's awesome, man. I mean, all the star power,

368
00:19:36,106 --> 00:19:38,706
Speaker 4: all the history. You know, we didn't live through the

369
00:19:38,786 --> 00:19:40,546
Speaker 4: forties and the fifties in Brooklyn.

370
00:19:42,586 --> 00:19:43,626
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I mean.

371
00:19:43,826 --> 00:19:47,106
Speaker 4: We don't even have memories of Reggie Jackson and Great

372
00:19:47,266 --> 00:19:50,666
Speaker 4: Nettles and Mike Torres were of a different generation. So

373
00:19:50,866 --> 00:19:54,066
Speaker 4: to kind of rekindle that with the Yankees and the Dodgers, Yeah,

374
00:19:54,146 --> 00:19:56,666
Speaker 4: it's it's good for baseball, it's good for New York

375
00:19:56,706 --> 00:19:59,186
Speaker 4: and LA. And you kind of nailed it all of

376
00:19:59,266 --> 00:20:02,666
Speaker 4: these games, despite the three to one sort of margin

377
00:20:02,826 --> 00:20:05,026
Speaker 4: outside of Game four, and even Game four because it

378
00:20:05,146 --> 00:20:07,466
Speaker 4: was a lot of window dressing. It was a close

379
00:20:07,546 --> 00:20:10,226
Speaker 4: game until the Yankees blow it open. All these games

380
00:20:10,306 --> 00:20:12,346
Speaker 4: at least have been coming down.

381
00:20:12,186 --> 00:20:14,626
Speaker 3: At a wire. It's not been a one sided series,

382
00:20:14,666 --> 00:20:15,466
Speaker 3: if that makes sense.

383
00:20:15,586 --> 00:20:18,506
Speaker 1: And it's been really cool. Aesthetically. I always love the

384
00:20:18,666 --> 00:20:22,426
Speaker 1: Rose Bowl because you see in the Rose Bowl when

385
00:20:22,466 --> 00:20:25,866
Speaker 1: it's USC versus UCLA, you see the sun setting and

386
00:20:25,986 --> 00:20:29,626
Speaker 1: you see those beautiful uniforms of the USC the red

387
00:20:29,666 --> 00:20:32,186
Speaker 1: in the gold, and then of course you get the

388
00:20:32,306 --> 00:20:34,386
Speaker 1: UCLA with the blue and the gold, and it just

389
00:20:34,466 --> 00:20:38,826
Speaker 1: looks great together. Before Game four, we're out there in

390
00:20:38,866 --> 00:20:41,946
Speaker 1: the stands and both teams in their full uniforms, the

391
00:20:42,026 --> 00:20:44,746
Speaker 1: pinstripes on the Yankees and the gorgeous gray and blue

392
00:20:44,786 --> 00:20:47,426
Speaker 1: of the Dodgers. It's on the field with that pristine field.

393
00:20:47,466 --> 00:20:49,906
Speaker 1: I hate to get poetic about sports, sounds like moneyball,

394
00:20:50,266 --> 00:20:53,946
Speaker 1: but to see those uniforms, those crisp colors, like it's

395
00:20:54,106 --> 00:20:57,026
Speaker 1: really traditional. We don't have some zany team with purple

396
00:20:57,106 --> 00:21:01,346
Speaker 1: logos and crazy throwback third uniforms. Like it's Yankees Dodgers,

397
00:21:02,386 --> 00:21:03,306
Speaker 1: and that's the way it should be.

398
00:21:03,546 --> 00:21:08,466
Speaker 4: And you know, I went out Shrigs in nineteen Yankees

399
00:21:08,466 --> 00:21:10,506
Speaker 4: played the Dodgers. I think was their first time back

400
00:21:10,546 --> 00:21:13,306
Speaker 4: at Dodgers Stadium in a while because now interleague play

401
00:21:13,306 --> 00:21:14,346
Speaker 4: they play every single year.

402
00:21:14,826 --> 00:21:17,546
Speaker 3: But this was like finally long overdue with getting this

403
00:21:17,586 --> 00:21:18,346
Speaker 3: in the regular.

404
00:21:18,146 --> 00:21:21,946
Speaker 4: Season, and they wore those hideous players weekend jerseys, so

405
00:21:22,066 --> 00:21:25,226
Speaker 4: like the Yankees were wearing black, and you couldn't even

406
00:21:25,346 --> 00:21:28,146
Speaker 4: read the Dodger blue logo because it was like an

407
00:21:28,266 --> 00:21:30,786
Speaker 4: all white I'm like, this is Yankees Dodgers.

408
00:21:30,826 --> 00:21:31,586
Speaker 1: Do we have to do?

409
00:21:31,706 --> 00:21:34,786
Speaker 4: We have to ruin the beautiful aesthetic with these dopey

410
00:21:34,866 --> 00:21:36,986
Speaker 4: uniforms that neither one of these teams is gonna wear.

411
00:21:37,066 --> 00:21:40,586
Speaker 4: So yeah, dude, like it's just it's like Americana, It's

412
00:21:40,666 --> 00:21:41,586
Speaker 4: like the way it should be.

413
00:21:41,826 --> 00:21:46,186
Speaker 3: Yankees Dodgers the uniforms. And I'm sure Fox, your your.

414
00:21:46,106 --> 00:21:48,466
Speaker 4: Buddies and Fox are drawing over the fact that they

415
00:21:48,546 --> 00:21:50,386
Speaker 4: get more baseball with this serious let's go.

416
00:21:50,786 --> 00:21:52,746
Speaker 1: I'm sure they'd like it to go seven and to

417
00:21:53,146 --> 00:21:56,106
Speaker 1: midnight on Saturday night, Game seven with something happening.

418
00:21:56,146 --> 00:21:58,546
Speaker 3: I don't go right into you guys doing the pregame show.

419
00:21:59,066 --> 00:22:00,906
Speaker 1: Want to be up, We'll be ready. I'll be battling

420
00:22:00,986 --> 00:22:03,746
Speaker 1: you and cousin Sally and the Ringer gambling show. We'll

421
00:22:03,786 --> 00:22:05,866
Speaker 1: be welling right up against you guys. It'll be perfect.

422
00:22:06,506 --> 00:22:08,066
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say a couple names and you just do

423
00:22:08,186 --> 00:22:10,666
Speaker 1: your spiel on what you think. Aaron Judge right now,

424
00:22:10,826 --> 00:22:11,546
Speaker 1: your thoughts.

425
00:22:12,506 --> 00:22:13,826
Speaker 3: Mister June. Love him.

426
00:22:14,386 --> 00:22:17,586
Speaker 4: He's an all time Yankee. He's got a record, He's

427
00:22:17,666 --> 00:22:20,746
Speaker 4: gonna set more records. He's gonna win more MVPs.

428
00:22:21,426 --> 00:22:21,666
Speaker 3: Peter.

429
00:22:21,786 --> 00:22:23,866
Speaker 4: You know how it is, when you're the captain of

430
00:22:23,866 --> 00:22:28,546
Speaker 4: the Yankees, what you do from April to September doesn't

431
00:22:28,666 --> 00:22:31,666
Speaker 4: mean as much as what you do in the month

432
00:22:31,746 --> 00:22:35,186
Speaker 4: of October. And this is ridiculously unfair because I'd argue

433
00:22:35,426 --> 00:22:38,546
Speaker 4: you're a Fox colleague. Mister Jeter is probably one of

434
00:22:38,586 --> 00:22:41,586
Speaker 4: the most clutch players I've seen in any sport. And

435
00:22:42,266 --> 00:22:44,466
Speaker 4: the amazing thing about Jeter is, you know, you see

436
00:22:44,546 --> 00:22:48,186
Speaker 4: great athletes, right whether it's Michael Jordan or Tom Brady,

437
00:22:48,306 --> 00:22:52,746
Speaker 4: they're kind of exemplary regular season their exemplary postseason. Jun

438
00:22:52,866 --> 00:22:55,386
Speaker 4: is a first bout Hall of Famer, but he actually

439
00:22:55,746 --> 00:22:59,506
Speaker 4: raised his level of play in the biggest of games,

440
00:23:00,026 --> 00:23:03,226
Speaker 4: and Judge has not done that. He needs to do

441
00:23:03,426 --> 00:23:09,066
Speaker 4: that for the I know I'm getting cliche. It matters, man,

442
00:23:09,146 --> 00:23:11,226
Speaker 4: when you're the captain of the Yankees, you gotta perform

443
00:23:11,306 --> 00:23:11,826
Speaker 4: in October.

444
00:23:11,946 --> 00:23:14,546
Speaker 1: Case closed. I look at the scoreboard the other night

445
00:23:14,626 --> 00:23:17,786
Speaker 1: and they just listed his height and weight. He's six eight,

446
00:23:17,946 --> 00:23:20,626
Speaker 1: two eighty and he hit fifty eight home runs this

447
00:23:20,746 --> 00:23:24,466
Speaker 1: year And it's like, brother, that stuff's all in the past.

448
00:23:24,466 --> 00:23:26,706
Speaker 1: If you could have a postseason moment, if you could

449
00:23:26,706 --> 00:23:28,386
Speaker 1: have a World Series moment, if you could have a

450
00:23:28,426 --> 00:23:30,826
Speaker 1: big home run that puts this team over the top. Like,

451
00:23:31,186 --> 00:23:34,906
Speaker 1: that's what Matt, that's what you know. I know his

452
00:23:35,226 --> 00:23:37,986
Speaker 1: history and his post playing career was littered with other stuff.

453
00:23:37,986 --> 00:23:40,506
Speaker 1: But like Jim Lyrits is forever a Giant's legend, a

454
00:23:40,626 --> 00:23:44,666
Speaker 1: Yankees legend, forever, forever. You got fans who would say

455
00:23:44,666 --> 00:23:47,626
Speaker 1: Scott Brocchus is forever a Yankees legend. For that series

456
00:23:47,666 --> 00:23:50,506
Speaker 1: against the Padre is, Like that's when we remember this

457
00:23:50,626 --> 00:23:53,066
Speaker 1: stuff because I guess all the other stuff gets diluted.

458
00:23:53,306 --> 00:23:55,266
Speaker 1: Yes he's a Hall of Famer, and yes he's an MVP,

459
00:23:55,426 --> 00:23:58,746
Speaker 1: and yes, all this stuff, but without that October moment

460
00:23:58,826 --> 00:24:01,706
Speaker 1: for Yankees fans, they're spoiled like they need the October.

461
00:24:02,266 --> 00:24:04,266
Speaker 3: Well, and that's what you judged on. That's what Yankee

462
00:24:04,346 --> 00:24:06,666
Speaker 3: captains a judge on. That's what monument mark.

463
00:24:06,866 --> 00:24:09,826
Speaker 4: Yankees are judged one and hey, Deckie, Matt sue he's

464
00:24:09,826 --> 00:24:11,266
Speaker 4: throwing out the first pitching game five.

465
00:24:11,346 --> 00:24:14,586
Speaker 3: Now, Matt series is a tremendous, tremendous Yankee. But I

466
00:24:14,666 --> 00:24:15,626
Speaker 3: mean that World.

467
00:24:15,506 --> 00:24:19,746
Speaker 4: Series not starting three games in Philadelphia and homering basically

468
00:24:19,826 --> 00:24:20,706
Speaker 4: every single time.

469
00:24:21,226 --> 00:24:24,306
Speaker 3: I mean, that's what you're judged Onne, So got it.

470
00:24:24,586 --> 00:24:26,146
Speaker 3: It's time for Aaron Judge to go and do it.

471
00:24:26,546 --> 00:24:39,426
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so Aaron Judge, Another Aaron, Aaron Boone. Where's

472
00:24:39,466 --> 00:24:40,946
Speaker 1: he stand right now with Yankees fans?

473
00:24:41,866 --> 00:24:44,666
Speaker 4: So right now, mister Boone needs to go and win

474
00:24:44,706 --> 00:24:48,266
Speaker 4: a World Series to be fully embraced, and he is

475
00:24:48,386 --> 00:24:49,946
Speaker 4: going to have job security.

476
00:24:50,066 --> 00:24:53,026
Speaker 3: He has jobs. He probably has had more job.

477
00:24:52,986 --> 00:24:56,706
Speaker 4: Security than Supreme Court justices because there are a couple

478
00:24:56,786 --> 00:25:00,026
Speaker 4: of years, Peter, where the Yankees easily could have been

479
00:25:00,146 --> 00:25:02,506
Speaker 4: within their rights to go and make a managerial change,

480
00:25:02,586 --> 00:25:05,026
Speaker 4: losing a wildcard game, that the Red Sox getting swept

481
00:25:05,066 --> 00:25:09,106
Speaker 4: by the astros Hey. Last year, they missed the postseason

482
00:25:09,266 --> 00:25:12,906
Speaker 4: all together. Now, positives for Aaron Boone. Guys love them,

483
00:25:13,066 --> 00:25:17,466
Speaker 4: there's no getting around that his clubhouse absolutely adores them.

484
00:25:17,986 --> 00:25:23,346
Speaker 4: But there's a sense of baseball IQ and fundamentals that

485
00:25:23,546 --> 00:25:25,906
Speaker 4: have been lacking from even a team that's gone to

486
00:25:25,946 --> 00:25:27,826
Speaker 4: the World Series this year. I mean, we saw last

487
00:25:27,906 --> 00:25:30,906
Speaker 4: night with Volpi, they made two key eras in Game

488
00:25:31,066 --> 00:25:34,266
Speaker 4: one that I think were lost in the shuffle by

489
00:25:34,346 --> 00:25:37,266
Speaker 4: his terrible managerial decision to go with nest de Cortez

490
00:25:37,306 --> 00:25:40,506
Speaker 4: over Tim Hill. But I think Boone is the sort

491
00:25:40,546 --> 00:25:42,266
Speaker 4: of manager that, yes, is going to be back next

492
00:25:42,346 --> 00:25:44,586
Speaker 4: year because the Yankees are in the World Series. They

493
00:25:44,786 --> 00:25:48,346
Speaker 4: did something they haven't done in fifteen years. But there's

494
00:25:48,386 --> 00:25:53,346
Speaker 4: a massive Yeah. But where Joe Torri won Girardi in

495
00:25:53,386 --> 00:25:56,426
Speaker 4: his second year one, you're the manager of the Yankees

496
00:25:56,466 --> 00:25:58,026
Speaker 4: for a long period of time and you don't have

497
00:25:58,106 --> 00:26:01,546
Speaker 4: a World Series championship, Peter. You don't get that sort

498
00:26:01,546 --> 00:26:04,106
Speaker 4: of job security in most places, you know, especially with

499
00:26:04,226 --> 00:26:06,346
Speaker 4: a franchise that used to fire managers like there was

500
00:26:06,506 --> 00:26:06,986
Speaker 4: no tomorrow.

501
00:26:07,146 --> 00:26:10,986
Speaker 3: So he's not exactly a beloved figure. You win and

502
00:26:11,066 --> 00:26:12,146
Speaker 3: that changes, yeah.

503
00:26:12,586 --> 00:26:12,706
Speaker 4: Uh.

504
00:26:13,186 --> 00:26:15,586
Speaker 1: And of course we grew up in the Billy Martin

505
00:26:15,666 --> 00:26:19,066
Speaker 1: era where Steinbrenner would fire higher Billy Martin every other year,

506
00:26:19,146 --> 00:26:21,706
Speaker 1: and you had some some different stump Merrills and don

507
00:26:21,826 --> 00:26:24,506
Speaker 1: Zimmers all the way up until we finally had Joe

508
00:26:24,626 --> 00:26:27,986
Speaker 1: Torre as the manager. The last name I'm going to

509
00:26:28,026 --> 00:26:30,146
Speaker 1: give you before we end on Yankees and quickly hit

510
00:26:30,226 --> 00:26:34,346
Speaker 1: some some New York football. Does the name Austin Copa

511
00:26:34,466 --> 00:26:35,906
Speaker 1: Bianco mean anything to you?

512
00:26:37,386 --> 00:26:37,426
Speaker 4: So?

513
00:26:38,866 --> 00:26:39,586
Speaker 1: Is that the guy?

514
00:26:39,826 --> 00:26:41,946
Speaker 3: This just a guess here, This is just a guess.

515
00:26:42,466 --> 00:26:44,466
Speaker 4: Is that the gentleman who yanked the ball out of

516
00:26:44,506 --> 00:26:45,986
Speaker 4: Mookie Bets Clve yesterday?

517
00:26:46,266 --> 00:26:48,866
Speaker 1: Of course, let me give you, let me give you,

518
00:26:49,786 --> 00:26:51,586
Speaker 1: let me give you some context here. His name is

519
00:26:51,746 --> 00:26:56,026
Speaker 1: Austin Copo Bianco, which you could not make up if

520
00:26:56,106 --> 00:26:59,706
Speaker 1: you paid me a million dollars based on the image. Uh,

521
00:27:00,106 --> 00:27:02,386
Speaker 1: immediately on Good Morning Football, I say that is the

522
00:27:02,466 --> 00:27:04,986
Speaker 1: Halloween costume of the year. You're going as Austin Copa

523
00:27:05,026 --> 00:27:08,186
Speaker 1: Bianco and his sunglasses at night friend. And immediately everyone's like,

524
00:27:08,226 --> 00:27:11,426
Speaker 1: take it down, trigger, how dare you glorify this animal?

525
00:27:11,506 --> 00:27:13,306
Speaker 1: I'm like, guy, just to say it. It's a funny

526
00:27:13,346 --> 00:27:17,426
Speaker 1: moment in time that said, tweet history or not. And

527
00:27:17,466 --> 00:27:19,346
Speaker 1: I don't know where this guy's from or what his

528
00:27:19,426 --> 00:27:22,746
Speaker 1: story is. That's his name, and apparently his Twitter handle

529
00:27:22,866 --> 00:27:25,466
Speaker 1: leaves a lot to be desired. Where do you come out?

530
00:27:25,466 --> 00:27:29,146
Speaker 1: Because Sterling and Waldman last night, we're not too or

531
00:27:29,186 --> 00:27:31,466
Speaker 1: none too pleased with that behavior. And yet there are

532
00:27:31,546 --> 00:27:33,506
Speaker 1: some Yankee fans, a lot of guys that will see

533
00:27:33,546 --> 00:27:35,946
Speaker 1: on the street here. I'll be like that actually kickstarted

534
00:27:35,986 --> 00:27:36,786
Speaker 1: the team a little bit.

535
00:27:37,586 --> 00:27:40,506
Speaker 4: Hey, listen, if it kickstarts the team, if you tell

536
00:27:40,506 --> 00:27:41,986
Speaker 4: me they're going to win an extra games, So we

537
00:27:42,106 --> 00:27:45,346
Speaker 4: got to sacrifice one particular fan to every game to

538
00:27:45,426 --> 00:27:47,106
Speaker 4: try to get a ball out of Mookie's cloth or

539
00:27:47,146 --> 00:27:49,626
Speaker 4: somebody's cloth for that matter. You know, I'm all for it,

540
00:27:49,706 --> 00:27:53,106
Speaker 4: but listen, initially watching it, Peter, I was like.

541
00:27:53,906 --> 00:27:56,946
Speaker 3: Mookie's in the stands. That's the you know, like you

542
00:27:57,266 --> 00:27:58,506
Speaker 3: see you don't see the replay.

543
00:27:58,546 --> 00:28:01,786
Speaker 4: So when I first thought is, hey, you go into stands,

544
00:28:02,386 --> 00:28:05,186
Speaker 4: that that ball is just as much the fans as

545
00:28:05,266 --> 00:28:06,266
Speaker 4: it is the players.

546
00:28:06,946 --> 00:28:09,826
Speaker 3: But Mooky clearly caught it and hanging.

547
00:28:09,666 --> 00:28:11,746
Speaker 4: And then you got like this sticky You got like

548
00:28:11,786 --> 00:28:14,506
Speaker 4: the sticky fingers of the guy trying to get the pot.

549
00:28:14,626 --> 00:28:17,626
Speaker 1: It was. It was he had a sliding glove on,

550
00:28:17,786 --> 00:28:21,426
Speaker 1: which it is like what like high level high school

551
00:28:21,466 --> 00:28:23,826
Speaker 1: players or college or minor league players, which gives me

552
00:28:23,906 --> 00:28:27,706
Speaker 1: the feeling that Austin Coppobianco thought at any given moment

553
00:28:27,786 --> 00:28:29,746
Speaker 1: he might be inserted into the game, the Yankees might

554
00:28:29,826 --> 00:28:32,226
Speaker 1: need him because he had a professional glove on. He's

555
00:28:32,226 --> 00:28:33,186
Speaker 1: a four hundred dollars glove on.

556
00:28:35,666 --> 00:28:37,546
Speaker 4: It was like Jim Harbaugh. You know, maybe he was

557
00:28:37,626 --> 00:28:39,786
Speaker 4: taking notes from Jim Harbaugh and your buddy who brings

558
00:28:39,866 --> 00:28:42,026
Speaker 4: the glove to the game. You never know what can

559
00:28:42,066 --> 00:28:44,626
Speaker 4: happen when you go to a baseball game. I did

560
00:28:44,746 --> 00:28:48,346
Speaker 4: not anticipate, though, that some Yankee fans sticky fingers would

561
00:28:48,386 --> 00:28:50,746
Speaker 4: be in mooki BET's hand, and you have the image

562
00:28:50,786 --> 00:28:53,906
Speaker 4: that will be seen forever now, Mookie Bets basically like, dude,

563
00:28:54,346 --> 00:28:54,986
Speaker 4: get off of me.

564
00:28:55,466 --> 00:28:57,626
Speaker 3: Get off of me for goodness sakes.

565
00:28:57,586 --> 00:28:59,706
Speaker 1: All right, I know you're a Dolphins fan at heart

566
00:28:59,786 --> 00:29:02,506
Speaker 1: and you wear that well. I don't have any Dolphins questions.

567
00:29:02,506 --> 00:29:04,706
Speaker 1: If you want to do a Dolphins ninety second.

568
00:29:04,586 --> 00:29:07,026
Speaker 4: They're they're gonna lose by thirty to buff Okay, just

569
00:29:07,106 --> 00:29:08,426
Speaker 4: put out the bad June Jews so.

570
00:29:08,426 --> 00:29:11,706
Speaker 1: That you could be pleasantly surprised. That's fine. I do know, though,

571
00:29:11,746 --> 00:29:13,866
Speaker 1: that you host this podcast and you're on sn Y

572
00:29:13,986 --> 00:29:16,346
Speaker 1: all the time, and you've been on Wfan, and you've

573
00:29:16,386 --> 00:29:21,466
Speaker 1: got this great New York listenership. As fourth Wall is

574
00:29:21,626 --> 00:29:25,666
Speaker 1: torn down, are you better as a radio host and

575
00:29:25,786 --> 00:29:30,426
Speaker 1: better as a content creator in the Joe Beningo ethos

576
00:29:30,586 --> 00:29:33,306
Speaker 1: of the world is melting and they suck and we're

577
00:29:33,346 --> 00:29:35,706
Speaker 1: gonna crush these teams. Or is it better when they're

578
00:29:35,746 --> 00:29:38,826
Speaker 1: winning football. For you, coming on to the airwaves as

579
00:29:38,906 --> 00:29:41,786
Speaker 1: someone who is serving the fans and serving as the

580
00:29:41,906 --> 00:29:43,666
Speaker 1: voice of the New York Sports Seed.

581
00:29:44,386 --> 00:29:47,026
Speaker 3: This is an easy call for me. It's better when

582
00:29:47,066 --> 00:29:49,426
Speaker 3: they're good. It's better when they're good.

583
00:29:49,706 --> 00:29:54,386
Speaker 4: Yes, there's elements of fun of how crazy and how

584
00:29:54,586 --> 00:29:55,666
Speaker 4: bizarre it can get.

585
00:29:56,146 --> 00:29:58,466
Speaker 3: But here's what I know, Peter. If the Jets and

586
00:29:58,506 --> 00:30:00,746
Speaker 3: the Giants aren't winning, and right now they're on their way,

587
00:30:00,906 --> 00:30:02,986
Speaker 3: the Jets are two and six, how they're favored against

588
00:30:02,986 --> 00:30:04,106
Speaker 3: the Euston Texans. I don't know.

589
00:30:04,306 --> 00:30:06,066
Speaker 4: Vegas maybe knows a little bit more than me, but

590
00:30:06,626 --> 00:30:10,826
Speaker 4: that as it may, you fade into the abyss once

591
00:30:10,906 --> 00:30:13,666
Speaker 4: you hit November, December and beyond.

592
00:30:14,346 --> 00:30:15,546
Speaker 3: That is not enjoyable.

593
00:30:16,106 --> 00:30:18,746
Speaker 4: That is not fun when you were talking about football

594
00:30:18,826 --> 00:30:22,546
Speaker 4: teams that are four and eight and five and nine

595
00:30:22,786 --> 00:30:28,186
Speaker 4: and you're trying to come up with talking points and narratives.

596
00:30:29,746 --> 00:30:32,346
Speaker 3: No, been there, done that, man. I want teams that

597
00:30:32,426 --> 00:30:32,906
Speaker 3: are in it.

598
00:30:33,466 --> 00:30:36,066
Speaker 4: And I think that's what makes this Jets season so

599
00:30:36,346 --> 00:30:40,786
Speaker 4: disturbing because last year at this time they had all

600
00:30:40,866 --> 00:30:43,666
Speaker 4: sorts of problems. Zach Wilson was not exactly lighting the

601
00:30:43,706 --> 00:30:47,626
Speaker 4: world on fire, but Halloween weekend they beat the Giants.

602
00:30:48,346 --> 00:30:49,386
Speaker 3: They're really imaginable.

603
00:30:50,106 --> 00:30:56,586
Speaker 4: They were playing games before Thanksgiving that had meaning and significance.

604
00:30:57,226 --> 00:30:59,426
Speaker 4: Now basically the Jets have to go and pull an

605
00:30:59,466 --> 00:31:02,626
Speaker 4: inside straight or royal flush to go and get themselves

606
00:31:02,666 --> 00:31:07,466
Speaker 4: in the postseason. And that's with Aaron Rodgers's with Devonte Adams,

607
00:31:07,826 --> 00:31:10,506
Speaker 4: that's with Tyron Smith and all of this talent they've

608
00:31:10,586 --> 00:31:13,506
Speaker 4: added to the team. Peter, I was texting you back

609
00:31:13,546 --> 00:31:15,786
Speaker 4: in the summertime. You're like, dude, I thought voted the

610
00:31:16,026 --> 00:31:18,666
Speaker 4: talent they voted, but the you know what it is

611
00:31:18,786 --> 00:31:21,826
Speaker 4: though the vibe sometimes I thought the vibe was.

612
00:31:21,946 --> 00:31:24,146
Speaker 1: High, the vibe was right. I was there, I was

613
00:31:24,186 --> 00:31:26,626
Speaker 1: on the grounds. I don't regret my decision at all.

614
00:31:26,946 --> 00:31:32,786
Speaker 1: These losses have been crazy, the Zerline misses. You talked

615
00:31:32,786 --> 00:31:36,386
Speaker 1: about Aaron Boone having a lifetime appointment as as a

616
00:31:36,466 --> 00:31:41,706
Speaker 1: manager for Greg Zerline to I think he's still here still, Why, Like.

617
00:31:41,786 --> 00:31:44,666
Speaker 4: Why, I don't get it. I don't get it, And

618
00:31:44,746 --> 00:31:48,306
Speaker 4: not only that, it's cost him a couple of games.

619
00:31:48,626 --> 00:31:51,666
Speaker 4: But then like bad teams find ways to lose. That's

620
00:31:51,786 --> 00:31:53,986
Speaker 4: that's kind of my narrative, right, So it's like if

621
00:31:54,026 --> 00:31:57,146
Speaker 4: it's not the kicker. It's Aaron Rodgers throwing a late

622
00:31:57,226 --> 00:32:00,746
Speaker 4: interception against the Vikings in a game the Vikings were begging,

623
00:32:01,226 --> 00:32:04,946
Speaker 4: begging the Jets to say, here, take it the Buffalo game,

624
00:32:05,266 --> 00:32:07,946
Speaker 4: that New England, you have that delay game on the

625
00:32:08,026 --> 00:32:11,506
Speaker 4: two point playoff five and then allowed Jacoby Brissett, who

626
00:32:11,626 --> 00:32:14,826
Speaker 4: is a backup quarterback with no receivers, to go right

627
00:32:14,906 --> 00:32:18,146
Speaker 4: down the field and listen, I was not the biggest

628
00:32:18,186 --> 00:32:19,026
Speaker 4: Bobby Salad guy.

629
00:32:19,386 --> 00:32:19,786
Speaker 2: I was not.

630
00:32:20,306 --> 00:32:22,266
Speaker 4: I would have made a coaching change in the offseason,

631
00:32:22,306 --> 00:32:25,066
Speaker 4: as unfair as that might have been. Putting Old Brook

632
00:32:25,106 --> 00:32:29,266
Speaker 4: in this spot has hurt the defense because she's supposed

633
00:32:29,306 --> 00:32:31,346
Speaker 4: to be drawing up the defense and doing all the

634
00:32:31,426 --> 00:32:33,706
Speaker 4: things necessary for the defense, and he's got to be

635
00:32:33,746 --> 00:32:37,506
Speaker 4: focused on tenzillion other things. It's just it keeps building

636
00:32:37,626 --> 00:32:40,466
Speaker 4: and adding, and it's like, well, when is it going

637
00:32:40,546 --> 00:32:42,546
Speaker 4: to stop? And you could see the body language within

638
00:32:42,666 --> 00:32:43,786
Speaker 4: that awful.

639
00:32:44,346 --> 00:32:48,466
Speaker 1: They used three timeouts in the first Quarter's let's come on,

640
00:32:49,106 --> 00:32:53,586
Speaker 1: you know, uh, let's wrap with this team. The New

641
00:32:53,706 --> 00:32:59,266
Speaker 1: York Giants Daniel Jones, Joe Shane and Brian Dable get

642
00:32:59,346 --> 00:33:01,466
Speaker 1: essentially a vote of confidence that could always be pulled

643
00:33:01,506 --> 00:33:05,586
Speaker 1: owners or pickle from John Marra before the loss to

644
00:33:05,626 --> 00:33:08,106
Speaker 1: the Steelers primetime, but Daniel Jones is now one in

645
00:33:08,186 --> 00:33:12,026
Speaker 1: fourteen in primetime. Sekwon Barkley still has more touchdowns at

646
00:33:12,066 --> 00:33:16,466
Speaker 1: MetLife this season than Daniel Jones does. And I said

647
00:33:16,506 --> 00:33:21,226
Speaker 1: it on Good Morning Football without even looking before the game,

648
00:33:21,266 --> 00:33:23,266
Speaker 1: I could tell you Daniel Jones against the Steelers on

649
00:33:23,306 --> 00:33:25,706
Speaker 1: Monday Night is going to go oh fifteen to twenty five,

650
00:33:26,386 --> 00:33:30,186
Speaker 1: have two backbreaking turnovers and maybe score a touchdown and

651
00:33:30,226 --> 00:33:32,186
Speaker 1: on a big third and eight is gonna fumble or

652
00:33:32,306 --> 00:33:34,146
Speaker 1: is going to complete a pass for five yards? That's

653
00:33:34,186 --> 00:33:35,986
Speaker 1: not enough and they're gonna have to you know, kick

654
00:33:35,986 --> 00:33:38,826
Speaker 1: a field goal and miss it or air punt it away.

655
00:33:40,066 --> 00:33:43,506
Speaker 1: You're six of Daniel Jones as someone who creates content

656
00:33:43,666 --> 00:33:47,226
Speaker 1: and is often in touch with the guys on the street.

657
00:33:48,226 --> 00:33:50,466
Speaker 1: The thoughts on the Giants and Daniel Jones as we

658
00:33:50,546 --> 00:33:52,786
Speaker 1: head towards Week nine of the NFL season and the

659
00:33:53,066 --> 00:33:55,986
Speaker 1: Washington Commanders, a team they used to own, is coming

660
00:33:56,066 --> 00:33:56,946
Speaker 1: and field themselves.

661
00:33:57,986 --> 00:34:00,066
Speaker 4: I think the Giant fan is ready for a new quarterback,

662
00:34:00,386 --> 00:34:01,906
Speaker 4: but I think the Giant fan has been ready for

663
00:34:01,946 --> 00:34:04,586
Speaker 4: a new quarterback. Really going back to mid season of

664
00:34:04,746 --> 00:34:08,266
Speaker 4: last year, when it looked like in twenty two everything

665
00:34:08,306 --> 00:34:09,266
Speaker 4: had clicked for Jones.

666
00:34:09,746 --> 00:34:11,306
Speaker 3: He has a career best season.

667
00:34:12,226 --> 00:34:15,746
Speaker 4: They win a playoff game against Minnesota and it's like, Wow,

668
00:34:16,466 --> 00:34:19,706
Speaker 4: maybe Brian Dabele has unlocked him. Maybe he's going to

669
00:34:19,826 --> 00:34:22,666
Speaker 4: take that next step as a quarterback. He can't stay

670
00:34:22,706 --> 00:34:24,786
Speaker 4: on the field, and you nailed it with the Pittsburgh game.

671
00:34:25,506 --> 00:34:30,226
Speaker 4: It's become very predictable how the Giants are gonna lose. Yeah,

672
00:34:30,346 --> 00:34:32,466
Speaker 4: they're going to be in a game. They're going to

673
00:34:32,546 --> 00:34:35,026
Speaker 4: move the ball between the twenties. They're not going to

674
00:34:35,066 --> 00:34:38,586
Speaker 4: finish drives. There's going to be a big turnover. There's

675
00:34:38,626 --> 00:34:39,106
Speaker 4: going to be a.

676
00:34:39,066 --> 00:34:41,826
Speaker 3: Big booboo, and that's how you're gonna lose.

677
00:34:41,986 --> 00:34:45,786
Speaker 4: Like the Bengals game, the Steelers game, Like I've seen

678
00:34:45,866 --> 00:34:48,146
Speaker 4: this game now so many times for the Giants over

679
00:34:48,186 --> 00:34:50,226
Speaker 4: the last couple of years. Last year in Buffalo, even

680
00:34:50,226 --> 00:34:52,626
Speaker 4: though Daniel Jones didn't play that game, but you get

681
00:34:52,666 --> 00:34:55,586
Speaker 4: my drift. They wanted to take a quarterback. We all

682
00:34:55,626 --> 00:34:58,266
Speaker 4: watched Hard Knocks, we all watched it. It was on

683
00:34:58,426 --> 00:35:00,866
Speaker 4: full display for everybody in New York and everybody for

684
00:35:00,986 --> 00:35:01,826
Speaker 4: America to see.

685
00:35:02,106 --> 00:35:05,386
Speaker 1: To their credit, they were very big on Jaden Daniels.

686
00:35:05,426 --> 00:35:08,946
Speaker 4: To their credit, Hey, Joe Shane's kid, he could come

687
00:35:09,026 --> 00:35:11,746
Speaker 4: and work for the Dolphins and help evaluate talent because

688
00:35:12,146 --> 00:35:13,906
Speaker 4: he was all over getting Jade Daniels in.

689
00:35:14,226 --> 00:35:16,346
Speaker 3: Listen, they got themselves a really good player in the

690
00:35:16,386 --> 00:35:16,906
Speaker 3: weak neighbors.

691
00:35:16,986 --> 00:35:19,746
Speaker 4: It's not like they didn't get a high quality, high

692
00:35:19,786 --> 00:35:23,546
Speaker 4: caliber guy, but they need a quarterback, and that voted confidence.

693
00:35:23,706 --> 00:35:24,906
Speaker 3: Peter. I know you're right.

694
00:35:25,146 --> 00:35:27,706
Speaker 4: Owners are fickle. They changed their mind all the time.

695
00:35:28,266 --> 00:35:32,346
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm missing this. Maybe I'm an idiot here. I

696
00:35:32,426 --> 00:35:33,306
Speaker 4: think they're coming back.

697
00:35:33,546 --> 00:35:34,066
Speaker 1: I really do.

698
00:35:34,346 --> 00:35:37,226
Speaker 4: I think they're of the mindset. Mara is like, look,

699
00:35:37,946 --> 00:35:41,226
Speaker 4: I think these guys no personnel. I think that Brian

700
00:35:41,306 --> 00:35:44,746
Speaker 4: Dable knows offensive coaching. I'm gonna give them a chance

701
00:35:44,826 --> 00:35:46,386
Speaker 4: to go and get their quarterback and see what they

702
00:35:46,426 --> 00:35:50,546
Speaker 4: can do. And inevitably, that's to me the most interesting

703
00:35:50,666 --> 00:35:54,466
Speaker 4: element that's left of this giant year, because you know

704
00:35:54,586 --> 00:35:57,106
Speaker 4: the Jets in the AFC, the way the AFC shakes out,

705
00:35:57,146 --> 00:35:59,466
Speaker 4: there are like four really really good teams and then

706
00:35:59,546 --> 00:36:03,626
Speaker 4: there's a bunch of maybe you're not getting any NFC.

707
00:36:03,826 --> 00:36:06,146
Speaker 4: The NFC is loaded, making the playoffs is going to

708
00:36:06,186 --> 00:36:08,746
Speaker 4: be so much more difficult, and where the Giants did

709
00:36:08,786 --> 00:36:12,226
Speaker 4: at two and six, that's the most intriguing element to me.

710
00:36:12,986 --> 00:36:15,226
Speaker 4: When Daniel Jones gets benched, then it's going to be

711
00:36:15,266 --> 00:36:17,146
Speaker 4: because that whole injury, you know, is better than made

712
00:36:17,146 --> 00:36:19,186
Speaker 4: the injury clause and not wanting to be on the

713
00:36:19,226 --> 00:36:21,586
Speaker 4: hook for next year and where they're going to be

714
00:36:21,626 --> 00:36:23,346
Speaker 4: pigging in the draft and who the quarterback is going

715
00:36:23,426 --> 00:36:25,146
Speaker 4: to be. But yeah, the Giant fan wants a new quarterback.

716
00:36:25,306 --> 00:36:27,586
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna wrap. I do have one question.

717
00:36:28,426 --> 00:36:31,586
Speaker 1: My Columbus crew beat the NYC red Bull last night.

718
00:36:31,626 --> 00:36:32,986
Speaker 1: Did you happen to catch any of that one?

719
00:36:33,746 --> 00:36:34,146
Speaker 3: I did not?

720
00:36:34,266 --> 00:36:35,906
Speaker 4: Can you give me can you give me the crumb notes?

721
00:36:36,266 --> 00:36:38,186
Speaker 4: Can you give me the give me a stat seat

722
00:36:38,226 --> 00:36:41,186
Speaker 4: on that one? Cross post games back in the day

723
00:36:41,186 --> 00:36:43,306
Speaker 4: in Syracuse when I had no you want to talk

724
00:36:43,306 --> 00:36:44,586
Speaker 4: about shows where I had.

725
00:36:44,586 --> 00:36:48,226
Speaker 1: No clue just what I was talking talking about? Jim

726
00:36:48,306 --> 00:36:50,666
Speaker 1: Brown and lacrosse from the Syracuse fifties.

727
00:36:50,826 --> 00:36:53,226
Speaker 3: Yeah, queer and face offs. I mean, dude, if you

728
00:36:53,266 --> 00:36:55,546
Speaker 3: could I used to tell that to people all the time. Pete,

729
00:36:55,626 --> 00:36:59,306
Speaker 3: if you can do lacrosse post games, you can do anything.

730
00:36:59,506 --> 00:37:03,186
Speaker 1: No, I hear you, if you really are serious. I

731
00:37:03,626 --> 00:37:06,626
Speaker 1: like the Columbus crew. I don't even ask. I don't

732
00:37:06,666 --> 00:37:08,306
Speaker 1: love soccer, but I always like to pop in and

733
00:37:08,386 --> 00:37:10,186
Speaker 1: say this, Mandy, I let wear the jersey on air.

734
00:37:10,586 --> 00:37:13,226
Speaker 1: They're defending champions. They've got this great, rich fan base.

735
00:37:13,826 --> 00:37:15,666
Speaker 1: Red Bull came in last night being a one nothing

736
00:37:15,706 --> 00:37:18,026
Speaker 1: on their home field. A lackluster effort from the crew.

737
00:37:18,226 --> 00:37:21,346
Speaker 1: So we hit all sports here on the season with

738
00:37:21,426 --> 00:37:25,386
Speaker 1: Peter Schrager, and that's my analysis there, JJ, real quick,

739
00:37:25,466 --> 00:37:30,866
Speaker 1: give us the full, full, full line of where we

740
00:37:30,986 --> 00:37:33,586
Speaker 1: can see you and including on Sunday mornings, which I

741
00:37:33,906 --> 00:37:35,986
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, I'm on Fox NFL Kickoff, but I

742
00:37:36,026 --> 00:37:39,106
Speaker 1: see clips of you and Rahem Palmer and sal and

743
00:37:39,226 --> 00:37:41,146
Speaker 1: Simmons popping in and it's quite enjoyable.

744
00:37:42,026 --> 00:37:44,826
Speaker 4: You mean, Simmons in his pajamas, just basically crashing this

745
00:37:44,906 --> 00:37:45,706
Speaker 4: set at any moment.

746
00:37:46,106 --> 00:37:49,466
Speaker 3: I appreciate that New York, New York. We were rocking.

747
00:37:49,546 --> 00:37:50,506
Speaker 3: After all the big games.

748
00:37:50,586 --> 00:37:52,626
Speaker 4: We do a couple of pods a week, always on Sunday,

749
00:37:52,626 --> 00:37:55,066
Speaker 4: always on Thursday, and then after all these playoff games.

750
00:37:55,186 --> 00:37:56,586
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm gonna cut you off, do you feel

751
00:37:56,586 --> 00:37:59,066
Speaker 1: like you're filling that Beningo role of late night on

752
00:37:59,186 --> 00:38:01,226
Speaker 1: Sunday after the Jets, and it's like, all right, I'm

Speaker 4: that I do with the Ringer and it kind of

764
00:38:26,666 --> 00:38:28,626

Speaker 3: with you. You got a lot of gigs, man, that's

775
00:38:51,946 --> 00:38:53,866
Speaker 3: how it works in a business man. You got a hustle.

776
00:38:54,146 --> 00:38:55,746
Speaker 1: You're great. I love what you do and I love

777
00:38:55,786 --> 00:38:57,626
Speaker 1: that you post your runs in the morning. It makes

778
00:38:57,666 --> 00:38:59,466
Speaker 1: me feel terrible every single time I see you that

779
00:38:59,546 --> 00:39:03,546
Speaker 1: you seventeen, you run seventy, and I'm like, how the

780
00:39:03,626 --> 00:39:05,026
Speaker 1: hell did you? Where do you find the time to

781
00:39:05,146 --> 00:39:08,026
Speaker 1: do that? Very impressive, thanks, Buddy.

782
00:39:08,066 --> 00:39:09,986
Speaker 4: I wish the golf game was as impressive as the

783
00:39:10,026 --> 00:39:11,146
Speaker 4: running splits these days.

784
00:39:11,186 --> 00:39:13,266
Speaker 3: But you know, the Yankees and a massive distracted me.

785
00:39:13,506 --> 00:39:16,066
Speaker 1: That's a good thing. Uh JJ, thank you for joining

786
00:39:16,106 --> 00:39:17,746
Speaker 1: the pod and go Dolphins.

787
00:39:18,626 --> 00:39:20,506
Speaker 3: Say press, Thanks Peter, appreciate it.

788
00:39:30,026 --> 00:39:30,346
Speaker 2: All right.

789
00:39:30,386 --> 00:39:33,706
Speaker 1: Maybe that was indulging myself there, Aaron as a New

790
00:39:33,786 --> 00:39:37,346
Speaker 1: York resident, but I felt like that was kind of

791
00:39:37,386 --> 00:39:39,466
Speaker 1: the moment, and it's it would be fake for me

792
00:39:39,586 --> 00:39:42,586
Speaker 1: to come on here and give a twenty minute treatise

793
00:39:42,626 --> 00:39:44,546
Speaker 1: on what the Arizona Cardinals are doing with their two

794
00:39:44,586 --> 00:39:46,906
Speaker 1: straight wins. So we went with a guest talking Yankees

795
00:39:46,906 --> 00:39:48,466
Speaker 1: a little bit. We got football in at the end.

796
00:39:48,626 --> 00:39:50,826
Speaker 1: What do you think of JJ, Bob No love for

797
00:39:50,906 --> 00:39:51,466
Speaker 1: Drew Petsing.

798
00:39:51,626 --> 00:39:54,346
Speaker 3: Huh to the two Street wins for Arizona.

799
00:39:54,866 --> 00:39:57,946
Speaker 4: I love JJ personally, I don't follow baseball at all,

800
00:39:58,026 --> 00:40:00,186
Speaker 4: so all of that was pure gibberish to me.

801
00:40:01,506 --> 00:40:04,786
Speaker 1: Other than the conversations about the Jets and the Giants,

802
00:40:04,866 --> 00:40:08,226
Speaker 1: so per I thought, the one interesting thing, and maybe

803
00:40:08,266 --> 00:40:10,826
Speaker 1: we'll put the clip on social is me asking what

804
00:40:11,066 --> 00:40:13,666
Speaker 1: makes for better content when they're losing or they're winning.

805
00:40:13,986 --> 00:40:14,226
Speaker 3: Yeah.

806
00:40:14,826 --> 00:40:16,826
Speaker 1: I don't know if I agree with him. Some of

807
00:40:16,866 --> 00:40:19,306
Speaker 1: the stuff that goes viral is when frances is banging

808
00:40:19,346 --> 00:40:21,586
Speaker 1: his head against the wall and Beningo's going nuts in

809
00:40:21,626 --> 00:40:24,666
Speaker 1: when JJ is I think he might be he might

810
00:40:24,706 --> 00:40:26,426
Speaker 1: be saying what he thinks is the right answer. But

811
00:40:27,266 --> 00:40:29,626
Speaker 1: if they're a five hundred Giants team and they beat

812
00:40:29,746 --> 00:40:33,306
Speaker 1: the you know, they beat the Minnesota Vikings seventeen thirteen,

813
00:40:33,426 --> 00:40:35,466
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the same reaction as when

814
00:40:36,026 --> 00:40:38,786
Speaker 1: the Jets absolutely implode. I think that for those talk

815
00:40:38,906 --> 00:40:41,866
Speaker 1: radio hosts, sometimes talking about the Browns in a bad

816
00:40:41,946 --> 00:40:44,146
Speaker 1: season or the Eagles in a bad season is better

817
00:40:44,186 --> 00:40:46,586
Speaker 1: than when they're just barely you know, above five hundred.

818
00:40:46,866 --> 00:40:51,306
Speaker 1: All right, love it, let's get into it. Uber eats.

819
00:40:51,466 --> 00:40:54,586
Speaker 1: It's time for delivering results. Presented by Uber eats, and

820
00:40:54,666 --> 00:40:56,906
Speaker 1: I want to discuss a team or a player that

821
00:40:57,106 --> 00:40:59,986
Speaker 1: delivered results from the past week, and I think I

822
00:41:00,066 --> 00:41:02,546
Speaker 1: have to look no further than the starting quarterback for

823
00:41:02,626 --> 00:41:06,106
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos, the rookie bow Knicks Bonecks against the

824
00:41:06,146 --> 00:41:08,906
Speaker 1: Carol Line of Panthers. He threw for three touchdowns, he

825
00:41:09,106 --> 00:41:12,346
Speaker 1: had a rushing touchdown, he threw no interceptions, and he

826
00:41:12,426 --> 00:41:15,066
Speaker 1: completed seventy five percent of his passes. The Broncos are

827
00:41:15,106 --> 00:41:19,066
Speaker 1: now five and three. They're taking on the vaunted Ravens

828
00:41:19,146 --> 00:41:21,626
Speaker 1: this weekend, and suddenly Sean Payton's boys come marching into

829
00:41:21,706 --> 00:41:23,986
Speaker 1: Baltimore as a team with as good a record as

830
00:41:24,026 --> 00:41:26,786
Speaker 1: the Ravens, and bo Nicks is the reason why that

831
00:41:26,866 --> 00:41:29,346
Speaker 1: they've gotten any offense at all. I have to show

832
00:41:29,386 --> 00:41:31,226
Speaker 1: respect to a rookie that a lot of people didn't

833
00:41:31,226 --> 00:41:34,706
Speaker 1: think would have the same stuff as Austin, as Jaden

834
00:41:34,786 --> 00:41:37,866
Speaker 1: Daniels or as Caleb Williams. Yet bon Knicks is right

835
00:41:37,906 --> 00:41:40,666
Speaker 1: there in the conversation, and if it wasn't for Daniels

836
00:41:40,706 --> 00:41:43,586
Speaker 1: having this historic season, would quite possibly be our offensive

837
00:41:43,626 --> 00:41:46,386
Speaker 1: player of the year as far as rookies go. So

838
00:41:46,586 --> 00:41:49,866
Speaker 1: bow Knicks the pride of the Oregon Ducks and before that,

839
00:41:49,986 --> 00:41:52,986
Speaker 1: the pride of the Auburn Tiger. Sixty one college starts

840
00:41:53,466 --> 00:41:56,546
Speaker 1: and now eight starts into his NFL career, has five wins,

841
00:41:56,586 --> 00:41:59,786
Speaker 1: three losses, and had his best performance last weekend. Austin.

842
00:42:00,186 --> 00:42:02,186
Speaker 1: Why I keep saying the name Austin, It's because Austin

843
00:42:02,226 --> 00:42:04,666
Speaker 1: copa Bianco, our friend who almost ripped the ball out

844
00:42:04,666 --> 00:42:09,546
Speaker 1: of Mookie Bets's glove Botex that was delivering results for

845
00:42:09,586 --> 00:42:11,186
Speaker 1: that about Ubery, where you can get the best deals

846
00:42:11,186 --> 00:42:13,146
Speaker 1: on game day food all season long, the official on

847
00:42:13,266 --> 00:42:14,866
Speaker 1: demand delivery partner of the NFL.

848
00:42:15,066 --> 00:42:15,226
Speaker 2: Order.

849
00:42:15,306 --> 00:42:19,146
