1
00:00:04,795 --> 00:00:23,315
Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. I

2
00:00:23,515 --> 00:00:28,235
Speaker 1: would like to thank Kevin McCarthy for writing Joe Biden's

3
00:00:28,275 --> 00:00:33,235
Speaker 1: first reelection ad for him. Reporter, mister speaker, how would

4
00:00:33,275 --> 00:00:37,915
Speaker 1: you describe your interactions with Biden during negotiations? McCarthy very professional,

5
00:00:38,115 --> 00:00:41,715
Speaker 1: very smart, very tough. At the same time, voiceover announcer

6
00:00:41,955 --> 00:00:45,435
Speaker 1: President Biden. Even the Republicans think he's very professional, very smart,

7
00:00:45,515 --> 00:00:48,595
Speaker 1: very tough. At the same time, voiceover by President Biden.

8
00:00:48,755 --> 00:00:51,195
Speaker 1: I'm Joe Biden, and I approved this message because you

9
00:00:51,275 --> 00:00:54,315
Speaker 1: heard him. I'm very professional, very smart, very tough at

10
00:00:54,355 --> 00:00:57,635
Speaker 1: the same time, voiceover announcer paid for by Biden. Harris

11
00:00:57,675 --> 00:00:59,915
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four on the Committee to Make Trump Eat Spit.

12
00:01:02,115 --> 00:01:04,995
Speaker 1: I mean, there is a lot not to like in

13
00:01:05,035 --> 00:01:08,595
Speaker 1: the dent ceiling deal, Like why were we even in

14
00:01:08,635 --> 00:01:12,635
Speaker 1: this situation again, and why seemingly will we be in

15
00:01:12,675 --> 00:01:15,395
Speaker 1: it again in two years? And why are we literally

16
00:01:15,475 --> 00:01:18,315
Speaker 1: taking food out of the mouths of the young and

17
00:01:18,355 --> 00:01:22,395
Speaker 1: the poor while adding eighty billion to the Pentagon budget.

18
00:01:22,475 --> 00:01:27,395
Speaker 1: But even all three of those things have good caveats

19
00:01:27,435 --> 00:01:32,955
Speaker 1: to them, but otherwise complete win for the president. Complete

20
00:01:33,675 --> 00:01:36,035
Speaker 1: and you know me I am not a cheerleader here.

21
00:01:36,155 --> 00:01:40,315
Speaker 1: I'm not beholden to this man. He cleaned McCarthy's clock,

22
00:01:41,155 --> 00:01:44,955
Speaker 1: humiliated the Republicans and raged the Republicans, neutered the Republicans,

23
00:01:45,075 --> 00:01:49,875
Speaker 1: kicked Trump in the ass in no particular order. Trump

24
00:01:49,955 --> 00:01:52,795
Speaker 1: told McCarthy not to make a deal. McCarthy made a deal.

25
00:01:53,835 --> 00:01:56,835
Speaker 1: Bannon says the deal stripped Trump of his leverage in

26
00:01:56,875 --> 00:02:00,755
Speaker 1: the election. Ha ha ha a. Barney Rubble was so stunned,

27
00:02:00,795 --> 00:02:03,155
Speaker 1: she said, wait for the text like she could read,

28
00:02:03,635 --> 00:02:07,715
Speaker 1: and she changed the subject to Memorial Day. Set the

29
00:02:07,755 --> 00:02:12,155
Speaker 1: Republicans against each other again. Congressman Bob good just no

30
00:02:12,435 --> 00:02:15,115
Speaker 1: true scotsman did, He says, no one claiming to be

31
00:02:15,155 --> 00:02:19,035
Speaker 1: a conservative can vote yes. Ted Cruz hates it. Lindsey

32
00:02:19,115 --> 00:02:23,555
Speaker 1: Graham hates it. Ron Johnson hates it. Congressman Ralph Norman

33
00:02:23,635 --> 00:02:27,115
Speaker 1: says it's insanity and has virtually no cuts. You are

34
00:02:27,195 --> 00:02:31,515
Speaker 1: correct sir. It's set the Republicans in the Rules Committee

35
00:02:31,515 --> 00:02:35,595
Speaker 1: against each other. So McCarthy will need Democratic votes in

36
00:02:35,635 --> 00:02:39,235
Speaker 1: the Rules Committee just to pass a bill that kicks

37
00:02:39,435 --> 00:02:44,355
Speaker 1: his own ass. And he Clyde the congressman set hard

38
00:02:44,395 --> 00:02:48,195
Speaker 1: pass Clay Higgins the Congressman referred to both parties messaging

39
00:02:48,235 --> 00:02:50,395
Speaker 1: a wiin as if he weren't a member of one

40
00:02:50,395 --> 00:02:54,555
Speaker 1: of the parties messaging a win. Last time I looked,

41
00:02:54,595 --> 00:02:58,235
Speaker 1: the president of the trumpest Center for Renewing America had

42
00:02:58,275 --> 00:03:06,915
Speaker 1: tweeted or retweeted fifteen agonized times. And yet Kevin McCarthy

43
00:03:06,995 --> 00:03:10,235
Speaker 1: insists more than ninety five percent of House Republicans are

44
00:03:10,355 --> 00:03:14,075
Speaker 1: very excited about this deal. Five percent of all the

45
00:03:14,115 --> 00:03:18,195
Speaker 1: House Republicans is eleven. House Republicans. I just quoted four

46
00:03:18,355 --> 00:03:22,195
Speaker 1: over my dead bodies, plus Tom Massey will be five.

47
00:03:22,275 --> 00:03:25,435
Speaker 1: Chip Roy is six, Dan Bishop is seven. You don't

48
00:03:25,475 --> 00:03:28,795
Speaker 1: have a lot of margin here. The number needed for emotion,

49
00:03:28,915 --> 00:03:32,835
Speaker 1: of course, to vacate the chair to put McCarthy's speakership

50
00:03:32,915 --> 00:03:37,875
Speaker 1: up for a vote of no confidence is one. And

51
00:03:37,995 --> 00:03:40,915
Speaker 1: Dan Bishop said McCarthy was supposed to eliminate eighty seven

52
00:03:40,995 --> 00:03:44,395
Speaker 1: thousand IRS agents, even though that's nonsense. But now Bishop

53
00:03:44,435 --> 00:03:48,395
Speaker 1: is convinced McCarthy only eliminated one, seven hundred and forty

54
00:03:48,435 --> 00:03:52,035
Speaker 1: of them, which also kicks Trump in the ass. Their

55
00:03:52,315 --> 00:03:55,875
Speaker 1: rage over the IRS was that there would now be

56
00:03:56,075 --> 00:04:00,275
Speaker 1: so many more audits of rich Republicans who are breaking

57
00:04:00,355 --> 00:04:06,235
Speaker 1: tax laws. Well, who's always been obsessed with audits. Trump

58
00:04:06,675 --> 00:04:08,555
Speaker 1: has always been obsessed with audits.

59
00:04:08,595 --> 00:04:09,515
Speaker 2: That's who.

60
00:04:09,675 --> 00:04:13,675
Speaker 1: That whole thing about the irs is about Trump. Kick

61
00:04:13,755 --> 00:04:18,795
Speaker 1: his ass. There's no default, there's no you know, world

62
00:04:18,915 --> 00:04:25,035
Speaker 1: economic cave in. Social security untouched, medicare untouched, medicaid untouched,

63
00:04:25,235 --> 00:04:31,035
Speaker 1: tax rates untouched, domestic spending. Flat energy permitting process was

64
00:04:31,075 --> 00:04:35,115
Speaker 1: supposed to only permit fossil fuels, now it permits green

65
00:04:35,155 --> 00:04:39,475
Speaker 1: fuel too. No sharp safety netcuts, no memory holding of

66
00:04:39,755 --> 00:04:44,875
Speaker 1: student debt relief, no rains Act, subjecting every major agency

67
00:04:44,955 --> 00:04:47,955
Speaker 1: regulation to be voted on by Congress one at a time.

68
00:04:49,075 --> 00:04:53,795
Speaker 1: Lord knows what happens next. They'll be voting tomorrow. But

69
00:04:53,915 --> 00:04:56,715
Speaker 1: Biden got his part of this done early enough that

70
00:04:56,835 --> 00:05:03,795
Speaker 1: markets and US lending credibility will escape this almost unscathed internationally.

71
00:05:05,195 --> 00:05:08,195
Speaker 1: Now those good caveats I mentioned, The work requirements for

72
00:05:08,395 --> 00:05:12,915
Speaker 1: SNAP are actually lower now for enough people, and have

73
00:05:13,035 --> 00:05:17,235
Speaker 1: been waived for veterans and the homeless and kids and others,

74
00:05:17,675 --> 00:05:20,435
Speaker 1: so that the net number of people for whom requirements

75
00:05:20,475 --> 00:05:24,075
Speaker 1: are raised and those for whom they are lowered is

76
00:05:24,115 --> 00:05:30,755
Speaker 1: actually believed to be equivalent. A wash. No change, and

77
00:05:30,835 --> 00:05:34,555
Speaker 1: the Pentagon increased caveat eighty billion eighty five billion. Look

78
00:05:34,555 --> 00:05:36,875
Speaker 1: at it this way. In the first sixteen months we

79
00:05:36,955 --> 00:05:40,115
Speaker 1: set about fifty seven point three billion in military aid

80
00:05:40,195 --> 00:05:46,435
Speaker 1: to Ukraine. We just got pro Russian fascists like Marge

81
00:05:46,835 --> 00:05:51,675
Speaker 1: to give Ukraine at least another fifty seven point three billion.

82
00:05:52,235 --> 00:05:57,635
Speaker 2: Sh don't tell them. It's wabbit season and they're the wabbit.

83
00:05:59,355 --> 00:06:02,275
Speaker 1: The eighty billion increase for the IRS that was supposed

84
00:06:02,275 --> 00:06:06,275
Speaker 1: to be rescinded its entirety, including all those agents, it

85
00:06:06,475 --> 00:06:10,555
Speaker 1: may drop to sixty billion. And as to doing this

86
00:06:10,595 --> 00:06:12,915
Speaker 1: all over again in twenty twenty five, Biden has since

87
00:06:12,955 --> 00:06:15,075
Speaker 1: said he is now going to look at the fourteenth

88
00:06:15,115 --> 00:06:18,275
Speaker 1: Amendment as a means to erase the debt ceiling, so

89
00:06:18,395 --> 00:06:22,515
Speaker 1: that part of the agreement may not even exist by

90
00:06:22,595 --> 00:06:25,195
Speaker 1: a time of we're going to do it again. And

91
00:06:25,275 --> 00:06:29,275
Speaker 1: I suspect he threatened McCarthy with using the fourteenth now,

92
00:06:29,315 --> 00:06:33,395
Speaker 1: which is why he got this deal. Otherwise, McCarthy is

93
00:06:33,395 --> 00:06:35,555
Speaker 1: an even bigger idiot than I thought he was, and

94
00:06:35,635 --> 00:06:38,035
Speaker 1: I thought he was a pretty big idiot going into this,

95
00:06:39,635 --> 00:06:44,995
Speaker 1: And most importantly, by holding fast, Biden pushed this issue.

96
00:06:45,635 --> 00:06:48,355
Speaker 1: Why do we have a debt ceiling. He pushed it

97
00:06:48,475 --> 00:06:52,555
Speaker 1: front end center in American politics. Did you ask yourself

98
00:06:52,555 --> 00:06:57,835
Speaker 1: this question six months ago, six weeks ago? And he

99
00:06:58,275 --> 00:07:02,195
Speaker 1: and the other Democratic leaders who I constantly be rate here,

100
00:07:03,515 --> 00:07:07,315
Speaker 1: they have kept every Democrat in office silent about how

101
00:07:07,435 --> 00:07:11,635
Speaker 1: much Biden kicked Kevin McCarthy's ass and Trump's. Oh no,

102
00:07:11,715 --> 00:07:17,515
Speaker 1: we're pleased. Have a good Memorial Day, everybody, and maybe

103
00:07:17,635 --> 00:07:22,675
Speaker 1: best of all for you, if you follow politics and

104
00:07:22,755 --> 00:07:28,915
Speaker 1: baseball from Minnesota Twins fan Aaron Rupar of public notice

105
00:07:28,955 --> 00:07:34,395
Speaker 1: this sparkling sixcinct drollery. To wrap the whole thing up quote,

106
00:07:35,555 --> 00:07:39,555
Speaker 1: A debt ceiling deal has been reached, pending to physical

107
00:07:44,115 --> 00:07:47,715
Speaker 1: Some other Memorial Day headlines for you. Ken Paxton impeached

108
00:07:47,755 --> 00:07:51,235
Speaker 1: by the Texas Senate over what really matters to Texas Republicans.

109
00:07:51,235 --> 00:07:55,955
Speaker 1: Forget the fascism, This is about kitchen furnishings and extramarital affairs.

110
00:07:57,075 --> 00:07:59,155
Speaker 1: Ken will never be able to look his wife in

111
00:07:59,155 --> 00:07:59,875
Speaker 1: the eye again.

112
00:08:01,915 --> 00:08:04,315
Speaker 2: That's a joke. Take a look at a picture.

113
00:08:04,035 --> 00:08:07,475
Speaker 1: Headline from the Philly Inquire, A non exhaustive list of

114
00:08:07,755 --> 00:08:12,075
Speaker 1: trash Penn students left on the streets of Philadelphia. What

115
00:08:12,795 --> 00:08:17,915
Speaker 1: a non exhaustive list of trash Pen students left on

116
00:08:17,955 --> 00:08:21,475
Speaker 1: the streets of Philadelphia. What I mean, It's bad enough

117
00:08:21,475 --> 00:08:24,835
Speaker 1: you're calling them trash Penn students, but you're leaving them

118
00:08:24,875 --> 00:08:26,195
Speaker 1: on the streets of Philadelphia.

119
00:08:27,875 --> 00:08:29,555
Speaker 2: Oh, I get it.

120
00:08:29,955 --> 00:08:31,635
Speaker 1: Trash Pen students left.

121
00:08:31,915 --> 00:08:32,555
Speaker 2: I get it.

122
00:08:33,075 --> 00:08:36,235
Speaker 1: My friend Will Bunch saw that first. Lara Lee Trump

123
00:08:36,235 --> 00:08:38,595
Speaker 1: tweeted a photo of her kids last night. The boy

124
00:08:38,675 --> 00:08:46,915
Speaker 1: Trump's grandson seems to be wearing rainbow crocs. Alright, fascists,

125
00:08:46,915 --> 00:08:49,435
Speaker 1: better get that hate machine protest over to Lara and

126
00:08:49,595 --> 00:08:56,235
Speaker 1: Eric Trump's house. Chadwick Moore, biographer of Tucker Carlson, says

127
00:08:56,235 --> 00:09:00,715
Speaker 1: he has been banned from Fox quote news unquote and moreover.

128
00:09:00,795 --> 00:09:03,755
Speaker 1: His sources there tell him they are not permitted to

129
00:09:03,795 --> 00:09:08,115
Speaker 1: say the name Tuck on the air anymore. Well, of course,

130
00:09:08,115 --> 00:09:10,395
Speaker 1: there's lots of things that people at Fox can't say.

131
00:09:10,435 --> 00:09:13,115
Speaker 1: I ever watch Janine Piro try to read a telepropter

132
00:09:14,395 --> 00:09:21,715
Speaker 1: and sure enough, another Trump town hall on Fox Thursday

133
00:09:22,315 --> 00:09:27,035
Speaker 1: from Iowa Clive, Iowa with Sean Hannity.

134
00:09:27,555 --> 00:09:27,715
Speaker 2: But.

135
00:09:29,435 --> 00:09:33,795
Speaker 1: It's on tape. CNN did not, But even Fox has

136
00:09:33,875 --> 00:09:41,475
Speaker 1: realized not to put Trump on live from Clive at five.

137
00:09:46,795 --> 00:09:49,355
Speaker 1: You should not wish people a happy Memorial Day, but

138
00:09:49,435 --> 00:09:50,915
Speaker 1: I hope it's a good one for you. As I

139
00:09:50,955 --> 00:09:54,155
Speaker 1: said Friday, i'd be doing a podcast today if there

140
00:09:54,155 --> 00:09:56,955
Speaker 1: were breaking news. I certainly think all of this qualifies.

141
00:09:59,315 --> 00:10:03,035
Speaker 1: Biden wins the debt deal and gets the commercial made

142
00:10:03,035 --> 00:10:05,515
Speaker 1: for him. Thank you, Kevin McCarthy. Now there is a

143
00:10:05,515 --> 00:10:07,515
Speaker 1: writer's strake. Is there going to be a problem because

144
00:10:07,515 --> 00:10:11,755
Speaker 1: of that? Now? Look, this is my day off. I

145
00:10:11,755 --> 00:10:14,715
Speaker 1: think the last one I had was in February. So

146
00:10:14,875 --> 00:10:17,395
Speaker 1: rather than pad this thing out to the required length

147
00:10:17,435 --> 00:10:20,475
Speaker 1: by rerunning stuff from previous podcasts, I've got something you'll

148
00:10:20,515 --> 00:10:24,195
Speaker 1: either completely enjoy or not want to listen to in

149
00:10:24,235 --> 00:10:26,915
Speaker 1: a million years. If it's the latter, cool, I get it.

150
00:10:27,035 --> 00:10:27,795
Speaker 2: See you tomorrow.

151
00:10:28,675 --> 00:10:31,195
Speaker 1: On the other hand, after the break, I will be

152
00:10:31,195 --> 00:10:34,995
Speaker 1: playing old stuff two segments full, but nothing I have

153
00:10:35,115 --> 00:10:41,035
Speaker 1: done more recently than nineteen eighty seven. You will hear

154
00:10:41,275 --> 00:10:45,915
Speaker 1: if you stick around a bewildering supply of old radio broadcasts,

155
00:10:45,995 --> 00:10:49,035
Speaker 1: starting with one I had completely forgotten about ever doing.

156
00:10:49,635 --> 00:10:52,635
Speaker 1: Might be the first time I ever trashed Trump. It

157
00:10:52,715 --> 00:10:57,395
Speaker 1: is from nineteen eighty five on the United Stations Radio

158
00:10:57,475 --> 00:11:00,195
Speaker 1: Network as I was filling in on a sportscast for

159
00:11:00,315 --> 00:11:03,395
Speaker 1: Charlie Steiner, the voice of the Dodgers. It is over

160
00:11:03,475 --> 00:11:06,835
Speaker 1: how Trump was mishanded his team in the old United

161
00:11:06,835 --> 00:11:11,315
Speaker 1: States Football League. When you say boy Alverman never stops

162
00:11:11,355 --> 00:11:16,355
Speaker 1: talking about Trump, it's true. After that, there follows the

163
00:11:16,435 --> 00:11:19,155
Speaker 1: day Friday July twenty fifth, nineteen eighty when the big

164
00:11:19,195 --> 00:11:23,075
Speaker 1: New York radio station I've referenced here many times before, WNAW,

165
00:11:23,875 --> 00:11:27,195
Speaker 1: which had an enormous full time news department and plenty

166
00:11:27,235 --> 00:11:31,395
Speaker 1: of fill in freelancers, they ran out. They had to

167
00:11:31,435 --> 00:11:33,675
Speaker 1: ask the long haired twenty one year old phill In

168
00:11:33,755 --> 00:11:37,955
Speaker 1: morning sportscaster to do the news in afternoon drive. That

169
00:11:37,995 --> 00:11:41,515
Speaker 1: would have been me at twenty one in the number

170
00:11:41,555 --> 00:11:45,555
Speaker 1: one radio market in the country. So listen or don't.

171
00:11:45,955 --> 00:11:49,315
Speaker 1: A whole bunch of seventies and eighties sportscasts in the

172
00:11:49,515 --> 00:11:53,195
Speaker 1: second block. But first the Trump bash from nineteen eighty

173
00:11:53,235 --> 00:11:55,915
Speaker 1: five and the day I pretended to be a newscaster

174
00:11:56,075 --> 00:12:00,155
Speaker 1: on WNEW Metromedia Radio in New York. That's next.

175
00:12:00,235 --> 00:12:09,475
Speaker 3: This discountdown the United States Football League is absolutely essential

176
00:12:09,475 --> 00:12:13,515
Speaker 3: to civilization as we know it, and other falsehoods. I'm

177
00:12:13,555 --> 00:12:16,115
Speaker 3: Keith Overman for Charlie Steiner on the United Stations Radio

178
00:12:16,195 --> 00:12:18,235
Speaker 3: Networks with some thoughts on sports, and I'll be back

179
00:12:18,275 --> 00:12:21,395
Speaker 3: after this. I must admit that some of my happiest

180
00:12:21,395 --> 00:12:23,515
Speaker 3: moments in the last three years have come while watching

181
00:12:23,515 --> 00:12:25,875
Speaker 3: the United States Football League. Not the games, mind you.

182
00:12:25,995 --> 00:12:28,955
Speaker 3: The games are usually sloppy, boring, and pretentious, but the

183
00:12:29,035 --> 00:12:31,835
Speaker 3: league is a gas. If it stops being a gas

184
00:12:31,835 --> 00:12:34,315
Speaker 3: and instead, as they say, takes the gas, I'll be

185
00:12:34,475 --> 00:12:37,595
Speaker 3: upset first. There is a comical situation in New York.

186
00:12:37,635 --> 00:12:40,555
Speaker 3: The New Jersey Generals in Houston Gamblers merged in what

187
00:12:40,675 --> 00:12:43,435
Speaker 3: is not too cleverly concealed a bid for an NFL

188
00:12:43,475 --> 00:12:44,355
Speaker 3: expansion team.

189
00:12:44,795 --> 00:12:45,635
Speaker 2: What's the first thing.

190
00:12:45,715 --> 00:12:48,195
Speaker 3: General's co owner Donald Trump said after the merger that

191
00:12:48,275 --> 00:12:50,755
Speaker 3: his new team could easily beat the New York Jets.

192
00:12:50,755 --> 00:12:53,195
Speaker 3: The New York Giants are almost any other NFL club.

193
00:12:53,635 --> 00:12:56,955
Speaker 3: This is nice, but not particularly relevant to the USFL.

194
00:12:57,435 --> 00:13:00,075
Speaker 3: Trump more or less, the league's captain is not only

195
00:13:00,115 --> 00:13:01,995
Speaker 3: making sure he doesn't go down with the ship if

196
00:13:02,035 --> 00:13:04,995
Speaker 3: it sinks, he's also busy building a yacht for him self.

197
00:13:05,035 --> 00:13:07,755
Speaker 3: In the first mate not scheduled to be on board

198
00:13:07,795 --> 00:13:11,315
Speaker 3: that yacht is Doug Flutey. It's believed around USFL circles

199
00:13:11,315 --> 00:13:13,395
Speaker 3: that Flutey is headed to Boston for the nineteen eighty

200
00:13:13,435 --> 00:13:16,755
Speaker 3: six season, which is very appropriate considering he electrified that

201
00:13:16,795 --> 00:13:19,275
Speaker 3: city while at Boston College. But there's just one problem.

202
00:13:19,595 --> 00:13:23,115
Speaker 3: Boston doesn't have a USFL franchise. But they'll work it out,

203
00:13:23,195 --> 00:13:25,875
Speaker 3: they always do. Somebody will move to Boston. Maybe the

204
00:13:25,915 --> 00:13:30,515
Speaker 3: San Antonio Gunslingers are the Portland Breakers. The Kalamazoo Wheels. No, wait,

205
00:13:30,595 --> 00:13:33,275
Speaker 3: the Kalamazoo Wheels play in the International Hockey League.

206
00:13:33,315 --> 00:13:33,715
Speaker 2: Sorry.

207
00:13:34,275 --> 00:13:37,235
Speaker 3: That's my favorite part of the USFL saga, the alacrity

208
00:13:37,315 --> 00:13:40,395
Speaker 3: with which franchises moved from city to city. The American

209
00:13:40,435 --> 00:13:43,515
Speaker 3: Football League had only two franchise shifts in its history.

210
00:13:43,835 --> 00:13:45,715
Speaker 2: The USFL has two a week.

211
00:13:46,155 --> 00:13:48,115
Speaker 3: The league has all the stability of a box of

212
00:13:48,195 --> 00:13:52,075
Speaker 3: ball bearings in a teflon frying pan. The USFL may

213
00:13:52,115 --> 00:13:54,115
Speaker 3: well go the way of the World Football League, Pro

214
00:13:54,195 --> 00:13:57,715
Speaker 3: Team Handball and the Seattle Pilots. I hope not. I

215
00:13:57,835 --> 00:14:00,715
Speaker 3: need a constant source of entertainment. Of course, I take

216
00:14:00,755 --> 00:14:03,115
Speaker 3: solace in the fact that bad ideas never go away.

217
00:14:03,435 --> 00:14:06,115
Speaker 3: If the USFL full, somebody out there will make sure

218
00:14:06,155 --> 00:14:09,355
Speaker 3: that someday there'll be another one. I'm Keith Oberman for

219
00:14:09,435 --> 00:14:11,875
Speaker 3: Charlie Steiner on the United States Radio Networks.

220

Speaker 4: It's time now for Keith Oberman. He was doing the

221
00:14:15,315 --> 00:14:18,515
Speaker 4: Morning Sports when I was doing Ted Show last week.

222
00:14:18,635 --> 00:14:22,155
Speaker 4: This gentleman is parapatetic, not to mention that he gets

223
00:14:22,195 --> 00:14:24,675
Speaker 4: around a great deal for a young person. I'm Jim

224
00:14:24,715 --> 00:14:26,995
Speaker 4: Low and I hope you rejoin me in the Jim

225

00:14:38,795 --> 00:14:41,875

Speaker 3: major power problems reported. After the conclusion of what turned

233
00:14:54,315 --> 00:14:56,635
Speaker 3: out to be a rather brief Public Service electric and

234
00:14:56,675 --> 00:15:00,035
Speaker 3: gas strike, an all night bargaining session produced tentative agreement

235
00:15:00,075 --> 00:15:02,235
Speaker 3: on a two year deal, providing an eight point five

236
00:15:02,275 --> 00:15:05,395
Speaker 3: percent raise the first year, a nine percent high the second,

237

246

247
00:15:36,595 --> 00:15:38,395

257
00:16:04,675 --> 00:16:08,715
Speaker 3: you'll want Lonnie Shelton back. Turnabout, though possibly not fair play.

00:26:12,435 --> 00:26:14,915
Speaker 3: during the campaign for the White House. As to what

470
00:26:14,995 --> 00:26:17,955
Speaker 3: Carter is up to as campaign nineteen eighty swings into

471
00:26:17,995 --> 00:26:20,675
Speaker 3: high gear, here is Walter Rodgers from Washington.

472
00:26:20,995 --> 00:26:24,395
Speaker 8: Privately, Carter aides are deeply concerned about the political problems

473
00:26:24,395 --> 00:26:28,115
Speaker 8: created by the President's brother, Billy spokesman Jody Powell, acknowledging

474

Speaker 8: this is an extremely difficult time for US Walter Rodgers

475
00:26:31,515 --> 00:26:32,155
Speaker 8: at the White House.

476
00:26:32,395 --> 00:26:35,235
Speaker 3: New developments in the Billy Carter story seemingly coming by

477
00:26:35,275 --> 00:26:38,635
Speaker 3: the hour, now Attorney General Benjamin Siboletti saying now that

478
00:26:38,675 --> 00:26:41,675
Speaker 3: he and President Carter had discussed Billy's involvement with Libya

479
00:26:41,795 --> 00:26:46,315
Speaker 3: back last month. The Justice Department's Internal Security Division responded

480
00:26:46,315 --> 00:26:49,115
Speaker 3: to the revelation by launching an investigation into whether or

481
00:26:49,155 --> 00:26:51,875
Speaker 3: not Civilletti's involvement in the Billy Carter mess was in

482
00:26:51,955 --> 00:26:56,075
Speaker 3: violation of the law or of Department regulations. In sports,

483
00:26:56,075 --> 00:26:58,955
Speaker 3: the National Basketball Association has awarded the Knicks the first

484
00:26:59,035 --> 00:27:01,635
Speaker 3: round choice belonging to Seattle in the next college draft,

485
00:27:01,875 --> 00:27:04,595
Speaker 3: that part of the reworking of the Marvin Webster compensation.

486
00:27:04,715 --> 00:27:07,195
Speaker 3: The next day, they're not happy with that. Nadia Komen

00:27:59,515 --> 00:28:03,995
Speaker 2: You're at WNAW, New York with Stan Martin Oky Next

506
00:28:04,035 --> 00:28:04,675
Speaker 2: News Time.

507
00:28:06,795 --> 00:28:09,315
Speaker 3: A Memorial Day in Los Angeles. I'm Keith Oberman for

508
00:28:09,315 --> 00:28:12,155
Speaker 3: BRT Musburger with Sports Time, sponsored in part tonight by

509
00:28:12,155 --> 00:28:15,395
Speaker 3: tenactin Athletes's foot Remedy. Eric Davis did not hit a

510
00:28:15,395 --> 00:28:17,275
Speaker 3: home run as his Reds beat the Cubs. Five to

511
00:28:17,315 --> 00:28:19,755
Speaker 3: four this holiday afternoon. But that's all right. Eric Davis

512
00:28:19,835 --> 00:28:22,795
Speaker 3: will still hit sixty three home runs this season. At

513
00:28:22,875 --> 00:28:26,115
Speaker 3: least that's what basic mats suggests. Seventeen homers in his

514
00:28:26,155 --> 00:28:28,835
Speaker 3: team's forty four games works out to sixty three homers

515
00:28:28,875 --> 00:28:30,835
Speaker 3: in his team's one hundred and sixty two games.

516
00:28:31,195 --> 00:28:32,715
Speaker 2: Charlie Brown may have been able to.

517
00:28:32,675 --> 00:28:35,595
Speaker 3: Insist that Lucy tell her statistics to shut up, but

518
00:28:35,675 --> 00:28:38,715
Speaker 3: the homer binge in baseball cannot be ignored because it's

519
00:28:38,715 --> 00:28:42,035
Speaker 3: not just Eric Davis. Last year, only two players hit

520
00:28:42,075 --> 00:28:44,915
Speaker 3: more than thirty five homers. This year, twenty seven of

521
00:28:44,955 --> 00:28:47,315
Speaker 3: the Moron schedule to top that mark, and five.

522
00:28:47,115 --> 00:28:48,075
Speaker 2: Could top fifty.

523
00:28:48,435 --> 00:28:50,955
Speaker 3: The start of Oakland rookie Mark McGuire projects out to

524
00:28:50,995 --> 00:28:54,395
Speaker 3: sixty two homers at the current pace, Mike Schmid, Andre Dawson,

525
00:28:54,435 --> 00:28:57,075
Speaker 3: and Ozzie Virgil would hit fifty three each, and at

526
00:28:57,075 --> 00:29:01,195
Speaker 3: this rate, light hitting Philly shortstop Luisaguio would pound twenty

527
00:29:01,235 --> 00:29:03,795
Speaker 3: four of them. And when Luisa Guio starts hitting twenty

528
00:29:03,835 --> 00:29:06,475
Speaker 3: four homers a year, it's time to start asking questions.

529
00:29:06,795 --> 00:29:08,315
Speaker 2: What's worse than athlete's foot?

530
00:29:08,475 --> 00:29:11,515
Speaker 3: And only your FTD florist has it There are many

531
00:29:11,555 --> 00:29:14,315
Speaker 3: explanations for the festival of home runs, the most obvious

532
00:29:14,355 --> 00:29:17,075
Speaker 3: of them being that someone's put something inside the baseball,

533
00:29:17,195 --> 00:29:19,835
Speaker 3: like rubber or maybe a nice thick Holland Dais sauce.

534
00:29:20,275 --> 00:29:23,395
Speaker 3: Major League Baseball on the manufacturers, the Rawlings company insists

535
00:29:23,395 --> 00:29:26,835
Speaker 3: nothing's changed, but Cardinals manager Whitey Herzog says he's taken

536
00:29:26,835 --> 00:29:28,795
Speaker 3: a bunch of nineteen eighty six baseballs and a bunch

537
00:29:28,835 --> 00:29:31,475
Speaker 3: of nineteen eighty seven baseballs and cut them down.

538
00:29:31,355 --> 00:29:31,835
Speaker 2: To the core.

539
00:29:32,155 --> 00:29:34,715
Speaker 3: Whitey then dropped the shorn balls from the height of

540
00:29:34,755 --> 00:29:37,795
Speaker 3: five feet. He says the nineteen eighty seven baseballs always

541
00:29:37,835 --> 00:29:40,475
Speaker 3: bounced higher than the nineteen eighty six baseballs, higher by

542
00:29:40,515 --> 00:29:44,195
Speaker 3: a foot per bounce. Advocates of other explanations believe all

543
00:29:44,235 --> 00:29:46,475
Speaker 3: this proves is that Whitey Herzog has a lot of

544
00:29:46,515 --> 00:29:49,835
Speaker 3: spare time on his hands. The other theories players are

545
00:29:49,875 --> 00:29:52,955
Speaker 3: suddenly stronger due to new weight training techniques perfected in

546
00:29:53,035 --> 00:29:56,355
Speaker 3: the last year, or with a number of star pitchers

547
00:29:56,395 --> 00:29:58,835
Speaker 3: on the disabled list, there are more bums throwing fatter

548
00:29:58,915 --> 00:30:02,515
Speaker 3: pitches to the hitters, or that the Ballyhood debuts of

549
00:30:02,555 --> 00:30:06,075
Speaker 3: slugging youngsters like Eric Davis and Kaville ken Seko have

550
00:30:06,195 --> 00:30:08,755
Speaker 3: inspired every player to see if he too can't unleash

551
00:30:08,755 --> 00:30:09,835
Speaker 3: the hidden power within.

552
00:30:10,435 --> 00:30:12,115
Speaker 2: If this theory is accurate.

553
00:30:11,755 --> 00:30:14,835
Speaker 3: Then those six home runs by Louis Aguio suggests that

554
00:30:14,835 --> 00:30:17,715
Speaker 3: the Phillies' utility man has an ability for self improvement

555
00:30:17,755 --> 00:30:20,715
Speaker 3: that makes l Ron Hubbard and Norman Vincent Peele seem

556
00:30:20,835 --> 00:30:22,075
Speaker 3: like amateurs.

557
00:30:22,555 --> 00:30:23,955
Speaker 2: I care about feeling good.

558
00:30:24,035 --> 00:30:27,915
Speaker 3: NEWSS Director Back to home runs. There's nothing wrong with them.

559
00:30:27,955 --> 00:30:29,715
Speaker 3: There's nothing wrong with a lot of them. But you

560
00:30:29,755 --> 00:30:31,675
Speaker 3: should have to go to the ballpark to see them.

561
00:30:31,995 --> 00:30:33,835
Speaker 3: The way things are going at the moment, all you

562
00:30:33,875 --> 00:30:35,835
Speaker 3: have to do is look out your window. There'll be

563
00:30:35,875 --> 00:30:39,115
Speaker 3: a home run flying by any moment. Now for Brent Musburger,

564
00:30:39,155 --> 00:30:41,435
Speaker 3: I'm Keith Oberman on the CBS Radio Network.

Speaker 2: Hey, next News Time five twenty nine, here's Bill Keane. Bill,

566
00:30:45,835 --> 00:30:46,595

Speaker 3: WAW News on The Ted Brown Show at six thirty

568
00:30:49,795 --> 00:30:55,275

00:30:55,315 --> 00:30:59,475

571
00:31:03,355 --> 00:31:05,675
Speaker 3: before you ask one of those groups in common know this.

572
00:31:06,435 --> 00:31:08,275
Speaker 3: Gene Michael has been fired for the second time in

573
00:31:08,315 --> 00:31:10,395
Speaker 3: eleven months, and guess who done it.

574
00:31:10,835 --> 00:31:12,955
Speaker 9: Pride will be interim manager for the balance of the year,

575
00:31:13,755 --> 00:31:16,675
Speaker 9: and I'm hoping he'll be able to do a good job.

576
00:31:17,555 --> 00:31:20,755
Speaker 9: And some of these players would be well advised to

577
00:31:20,795 --> 00:31:22,755
Speaker 9: start playing up to as good as they think they are.

578
00:31:23,275 --> 00:31:26,355
Speaker 3: George Steinbrenner last night naming Clyde King manager after the

579
00:31:26,395 --> 00:31:28,475
Speaker 3: Yanks dropped repaired to the White Sox one nothing from

580
00:31:28,475 --> 00:31:30,595
Speaker 3: fourteen to two. He said he really rather fired the

581
00:31:30,595 --> 00:31:32,475
Speaker 3: players and not the manager, but of course he couldn't

582
00:31:32,515 --> 00:31:36,475
Speaker 3: do that. The Bear statistics nine years nine managerial changes

583
00:31:36,515 --> 00:31:38,715
Speaker 3: to this year. There are now three managers. George is

584
00:31:38,755 --> 00:31:41,595
Speaker 3: fired twice each and Putty Poort Clyde King. This is

585
00:31:41,635 --> 00:31:43,875
Speaker 3: the list of the jobs he's held since coming into

586
00:31:43,875 --> 00:31:47,515
Speaker 3: Steinbrender's employee in nineteen seventy six, in order, special scout,

587
00:31:47,555 --> 00:31:50,635
Speaker 3: Minor league instructor, major league coach, special minor league coach,

588
00:31:50,755 --> 00:31:55,275
Speaker 3: major league coach, special roving coach, special assignment scout, major coach,

589
00:31:55,355 --> 00:31:59,075
Speaker 3: a special roving coach, and now manager the rest of

590
00:31:59,075 --> 00:32:02,555
Speaker 3: the season or three Steinbrenner explosions whatever comes first. I

591
00:32:02,595 --> 00:32:04,635
Speaker 3: was talking to Tommy John yesterday before the ball games

592
00:32:04,755 --> 00:32:07,075
Speaker 3: the stadium, six hours before the firing, and he told

593
00:32:07,075 --> 00:32:09,315
Speaker 3: me the real reason he wanted out of New York

594
00:32:09,395 --> 00:32:12,475
Speaker 3: was that he saw the situation snowballing, things getting far

595
00:32:12,515 --> 00:32:14,755
Speaker 3: worse in terms of turmoil and turbulence and not better.

596
00:32:15,155 --> 00:32:17,715
Speaker 3: This was before the stick got canned, and it did

597
00:32:17,755 --> 00:32:20,275
Speaker 3: indeed get worse even before the Stick got canned. As

598
00:32:20,315 --> 00:32:22,595
Speaker 3: the Aanks were getting blasted in the nightcap, George pulled

599
00:32:22,635 --> 00:32:23,235
Speaker 3: a Ray Kroc.

600
00:32:23,635 --> 00:32:24,995
Speaker 2: Remember when the Padre owner got.

601
00:32:24,915 --> 00:32:26,915
Speaker 3: On the PA system in San Diego to apologize for

602
00:32:26,955 --> 00:32:30,515
Speaker 3: how badly his team was playing, well, George had Bob Shepard. Shepard,

603
00:32:30,555 --> 00:32:33,155
Speaker 3: the PA announcer, offer a ticket turn in, give your

604
00:32:33,195 --> 00:32:35,555
Speaker 3: stubs back in exchange for a ticket to another ballgame.

605
00:32:36,035 --> 00:32:38,515
Speaker 3: That embarrassed the ballplayers, as did the Michael firing. And

606
00:32:38,595 --> 00:32:40,355
Speaker 3: you can bet things are going to go crazy in

607
00:32:40,355 --> 00:32:43,195
Speaker 3: the Bronx the rest of this year. Forget the Pennant race.

608
00:32:43,875 --> 00:32:46,755
Speaker 3: And what's the reaction among Yankee fans. Well Waws Mike

609
00:32:46,755 --> 00:32:49,955
Speaker 3: Eisgrouse spoke to one router in midtown Manhattan this morning.

610
00:32:50,435 --> 00:32:53,995
Speaker 2: That man's crazy, That's what I would say, Michael A. Steinbrenner,

611
00:32:54,035 --> 00:32:57,115
Speaker 2: I'm Brenner. Why all the firing he does? I tell

612
00:32:57,155 --> 00:33:00,075
Speaker 2: you I think he should sell that to him sounds

613
00:33:00,115 --> 00:33:00,795
Speaker 2: like a good idea.

614
00:33:00,835 --> 00:33:03,235
Speaker 3: And George, this firing your employee stuff is getting out

615
00:33:03,275 --> 00:33:05,995
Speaker 3: of hand. Go see the team doctor Bontomo and see

616
00:33:05,995 --> 00:33:07,875
Speaker 3: if he knows a good counselor and get it checked out.

617
00:33:07,875 --> 00:33:10,635
Speaker 3: Maybe it is something that's an impassioned plea from a

618
00:33:10,715 --> 00:33:13,835
Speaker 3: jaded X Yankee fan. Elsewhere, one of the guys George

619
00:33:13,835 --> 00:33:15,555
Speaker 3: got rid of last year shut out the Mets. Doug

620
00:33:15,595 --> 00:33:17,795
Speaker 3: Bird throws a three hitter, Cubs five Mets nothing. Mets

621
00:33:17,835 --> 00:33:20,035
Speaker 3: turned to triple play, sort of like getting a Sun

622
00:33:20,115 --> 00:33:23,875
Speaker 3: ten during an atomic explosion. Briefly the scoreboard National League

623
00:33:23,955 --> 00:33:26,435

00:33:26,475 --> 00:33:28,795
Speaker 3: to Dodgers shut out the Reds four, nothing cards for

625
00:33:28,955 --> 00:33:31,315
Speaker 3: the Pirates two and in eleven, Houston seven, and the

626
00:33:31,355 --> 00:33:34,315
Speaker 3: Padres six. In the American two other twin nighters, but

627
00:33:34,475 --> 00:33:37,035
Speaker 3: none of the losing managers got fired. Baltimore and Boston

628
00:33:37,075 --> 00:33:39,235
Speaker 3: split Orioles the first seven to two Red Sox, the

629
00:33:39,275 --> 00:33:42,315
Speaker 3: second seven to six. Texas and Cleveland Cleveland the first

630
00:33:42,355 --> 00:33:43,595
Speaker 3: two to nothing Texas.

631
00:33:43,235 --> 00:33:44,635
Speaker 2: That I capped five to four in ten.

632
00:33:45,035 --> 00:33:47,515
Speaker 3: Also Seattle over Oakland three to two, The Twins beat

633
00:33:47,555 --> 00:33:50,115
Speaker 3: the Angels five to four, Royal six, the Tigers five

634
00:33:50,155 --> 00:33:53,115
Speaker 3: at the Brewers seven, Toronto four, and the Jets make

635
00:33:53,195 --> 00:33:55,995
Speaker 3: news getting rid of a rookie safety named Chuck Cook

636
00:33:56,715 --> 00:33:59,435
Speaker 3: and buying from New England to tackle named Charles Cook.

637
00:34:00,235 --> 00:34:02,715
Speaker 3: Which makes me think that's what will happen in the Bronx.

638
00:34:02,715 --> 00:34:03,155
Speaker 2: One day.

639
00:34:03,515 --> 00:34:07,475
Speaker 3: George will fire Clyde King and replace him with Clyde King.

640
00:34:08,555 --> 00:34:10,835
Speaker 3: Keith Olberman for John Kenney on the Ted Brown.

641
00:34:10,595 --> 00:34:11,475
Speaker 2: Show, on.

642
00:34:18,635 --> 00:34:21,755
Speaker 8: I'm Bob Hagen, WAW News on the Ted Brown Show,

643
00:34:21,795 --> 00:34:23,475
Speaker 8: It's seven thirty four.

644
00:34:23,395 --> 00:34:28,595
Speaker 3: And now WNAW Sports and Commentary with John Kenny. Good morning,

645
00:34:28,675 --> 00:34:31,435
Speaker 3: Keith Olberman for John. A stunning development from the Bronx.

646
00:34:31,675 --> 00:34:34,515
Speaker 3: The Yankees have not fired their manager this morning. Of course,

647
00:34:34,595 --> 00:34:37,995
Speaker 3: last night is a different story altogether. At one six

648
00:34:38,075 --> 00:34:40,755
Speaker 3: am Eastern Steinbrenner Time, right after the Yanks drop two

649
00:34:40,755 --> 00:34:43,435
Speaker 3: to the White Sox, Gen Michael was jumped, Clyde King

650
00:34:43,475 --> 00:34:45,715
Speaker 3: brought in as the third skipper of this nineteen eighty

651
00:34:45,715 --> 00:34:48,835
Speaker 3: two Yankee campaign. Here is the prime suspect in the

652
00:34:48,915 --> 00:34:51,235
Speaker 3: last scalping at Fort Apache the Bronx.

653
00:34:51,515 --> 00:34:54,795
Speaker 9: Sometimes I wish that you could let go of a

654
00:34:54,835 --> 00:34:56,915
Speaker 9: lot of players instead of having to let go of

655
00:34:56,955 --> 00:34:58,675
Speaker 9: a manager, but that isn't the way this game happens

656
00:34:58,675 --> 00:35:01,595
Speaker 9: to be structured. I think we've got some players on

657
00:35:01,635 --> 00:35:03,995
Speaker 9: this team that think they're a lot better than they are.

658
00:35:04,795 --> 00:35:06,995
Speaker 9: That gets hurt us.

659
00:35:07,395 --> 00:35:08,155
Speaker 2: That's not everybody.

660
00:35:08,195 --> 00:35:09,555
Speaker 9: We've got some guys that are as good as they

661
00:35:09,595 --> 00:35:11,035
Speaker 9: think they are, but we've got a number of them

662
00:35:11,075 --> 00:35:13,475
Speaker 9: who think they're an awful lot better baseball player than

663
00:35:13,515 --> 00:35:14,075
Speaker 9: they really are.

664
00:35:14,755 --> 00:35:16,995
Speaker 3: Apart from assuring that the Yankees could never get it

665
00:35:17,035 --> 00:35:18,915
Speaker 3: together in time to make a challenge down the stretch

666
00:35:18,955 --> 00:35:21,475
Speaker 3: this year, the move accomplishes of the following and lets

667
00:35:21,515 --> 00:35:24,235
Speaker 3: George say he's fired now three guys two times each.

668
00:35:24,555 --> 00:35:26,315
Speaker 3: It lets him even up his years running the club

669
00:35:26,315 --> 00:35:29,555
Speaker 3: at his managerial changes, now nine each. It means twice

670
00:35:29,595 --> 00:35:31,675
Speaker 3: George has fired a manager before he was even supposed

671
00:35:31,715 --> 00:35:33,475
Speaker 3: to get the job. Michael wasn't due back at the

672
00:35:33,475 --> 00:35:36,555
Speaker 3: Helm until nineteen eighty three, and it gives Gene Michael

673
00:35:36,675 --> 00:35:38,835
Speaker 3: the unique distinction of having been fired twice from the

674
00:35:38,835 --> 00:35:41,235
Speaker 3: same job in less than eleven months, and of course

675
00:35:41,235 --> 00:35:44,035
Speaker 3: it blows away any remaining credibility George or the front

676
00:35:44,035 --> 00:35:47,035
Speaker 3: office might have had with fans, or players or managers.

677
00:35:47,635 --> 00:35:49,875
Speaker 3: Speaking of managers, Saturday is old Timers Day at the Study.

678
00:35:49,875 --> 00:35:52,235
Speaker 3: Even there's no truth to rumors that the two teams

679
00:35:52,235 --> 00:35:54,715
Speaker 3: of returning heroes will be old Yankee managers who quit

680
00:35:55,195 --> 00:35:58,315
Speaker 3: versus old Yankee managers who were fired. Yanks and White

681
00:35:58,315 --> 00:36:00,915
Speaker 3: Sox play at doubleheader again today. Clyde King meets the

682
00:36:00,915 --> 00:36:03,475
Speaker 3: press at one o'clock. Last night, the scores were one

683
00:36:03,475 --> 00:36:05,835
Speaker 3: nothing from fourteen to twogo in the fourteen to two

684
00:36:05,915 --> 00:36:08,515
Speaker 3: one did it for George. He's even said fans attending

685
00:36:08,595 --> 00:36:10,715
Speaker 3: last night's game could turn in their ticket stubs for

686
00:36:10,715 --> 00:36:13,955
Speaker 3: tickets to future games. Unfortunately, he made that announcement while

687
00:36:13,955 --> 00:36:15,875
Speaker 3: the second game was still in progress last night, and

688
00:36:15,915 --> 00:36:17,635
Speaker 3: I'm surprised some of the players didn't walk off the

689
00:36:17,635 --> 00:36:20,515
Speaker 3: field when they heard that. As to the Mets, they

690
00:36:20,515 --> 00:36:23,315
Speaker 3: continue on in their mundane, peaceful little way, playing the

691
00:36:23,355 --> 00:36:25,635
Speaker 3: Cubs again in Chicago this afternoon at Wrigley.

692
00:36:25,395 --> 00:36:26,475
Speaker 2: Swan versus Jenkins.

693
00:36:26,715 --> 00:36:28,915
Speaker 3: Yesterday it was hex Yankee Doug Bird throwing a three

694
00:36:28,995 --> 00:36:31,675
Speaker 3: hitter to beat the metsis five zip Around baseball, the

695
00:36:31,675 --> 00:36:33,075
Speaker 3: following teams played last night.

696
00:36:33,155 --> 00:36:36,195
Speaker 2: Some won, some lost, but none fired their manager.

697
00:36:36,275 --> 00:36:39,035
Speaker 3: American Week Milwaukee over Toronto seven to four, Kse beat

698
00:36:39,075 --> 00:36:41,635
Speaker 3: the Tigers six to five, Twins five the Angels four,

699
00:36:41,675 --> 00:36:43,835
Speaker 3: Mariners over the A's three to two. Two twin night

700
00:36:43,835 --> 00:36:47,035
Speaker 3: doubleheaders splits Boston and Baltimore, Orioles in the first seven

701
00:36:47,035 --> 00:36:49,955
Speaker 3: to two, Red Sox the nightcap seven to six, Cleveland

702
00:36:49,955 --> 00:36:52,435
Speaker 3: and Texas Indians the first two to nothing, and in

703
00:36:52,475 --> 00:36:55,195
Speaker 3: the nightcap in ten innings it is Texas five Cleveland four.

704
00:36:55,475 --> 00:36:57,155
Speaker 2: National Giants over the Braves six. Three.

705
00:36:57,235 --> 00:36:59,995
Speaker 3: Phillies beat the Expos three to two, all three Philly

706
00:37:00,035 --> 00:37:02,915
Speaker 3: runs coming in the sixth inning. They were unearned, started

707
00:37:02,955 --> 00:37:05,835
Speaker 3: by an error by Doug Flynn at second base. With

708
00:37:05,875 --> 00:37:08,395
Speaker 3: the Expos for the first time last night, Astros of

709
00:37:08,475 --> 00:37:10,875
Speaker 3: the Padres seven to six. That one in eleven Cardinals

710
00:37:10,875 --> 00:37:14,315
Speaker 3: for the Pirates. Two Dodgers shut out the Reds for nothing. Briefly,

711
00:37:14,355 --> 00:37:17,635
Speaker 3: Scott Klein, endorsed and All Conference defenseman at Providence Colleges,

712
00:37:17,675 --> 00:37:19,675
Speaker 3: signed with the Rangers. He and his brother Kurt, who

713
00:37:19,715 --> 00:37:22,555
Speaker 3: was also Ranger of property, do not in fact belong

714
00:37:22,635 --> 00:37:24,595
Speaker 3: to the family that makes its livings, sowing the names

715
00:37:24,635 --> 00:37:27,635
Speaker 3: onto the back of the Ranger Jerseys names the story

716
00:37:27,675 --> 00:37:30,035
Speaker 3: with the Jets too. They've picked up tackle Charles Cook

717
00:37:30,035 --> 00:37:32,115
Speaker 3: on waivers from New England, and to make room for

718
00:37:32,235 --> 00:37:34,835
Speaker 3: Charles Cook, they've waived a guy named Chuck Cook a

719
00:37:34,915 --> 00:37:38,875
Speaker 3: rookie safety. Obviously they have a Charles or Chuck Cook quota.

720
00:37:39,355 --> 00:37:41,675
Speaker 3: And finally, back to the Yanks. If Georgia is gonna

721
00:37:41,675 --> 00:37:44,115
Speaker 3: switch managers twice or three times a year, he ought

722
00:37:44,115 --> 00:37:46,555
Speaker 3: to use it properly for the public relations bonanza. It

723
00:37:46,555 --> 00:37:49,315
Speaker 3: could be he should schedule the firings in advance and

724
00:37:49,355 --> 00:37:52,915
Speaker 3: put them on the schedule as promotion days, bat Day,

725
00:37:53,275 --> 00:37:58,035
Speaker 3: ball Day, cap Day, guillotine Day. Keith Oberman for John

726
00:37:58,075 --> 00:38:01,835
Speaker 3: Kennelly on The Ted Brown Show.

727
00:37:59,355 --> 00:38:08,635
Speaker 10: One Texas Ranger relief pitcher Sparky Lyle is making a

728
00:38:08,635 --> 00:38:11,555
Speaker 10: bundle on his latest literary effort. Here with a review

729
00:38:11,595 --> 00:38:14,755
Speaker 10: of the book is wvbr's Keith Oberman, who incidentally sharpened

730
00:38:14,795 --> 00:38:16,355
Speaker 10: his fangs for this one.

731
00:38:16,395 --> 00:38:18,035
Speaker 2: This book Stinks.

732
00:38:18,835 --> 00:38:21,795
Speaker 3: The Bronx Zoo purports to be an astonishing inside look

733
00:38:21,795 --> 00:38:24,795
Speaker 3: at the world champion New York Yankees and their coast

734
00:38:24,795 --> 00:38:27,555
Speaker 3: to coast rivals. But the only thing astonishing about it

735
00:38:27,595 --> 00:38:30,355
Speaker 3: is that Sparky Lyle and co author Peter Golenbach could

736
00:38:30,395 --> 00:38:33,355
Speaker 3: transform an incredible season with one of the most interesting

737
00:38:33,395 --> 00:38:37,195
Speaker 3: and talented groups of ballplayers ever assembled into two hundred

738
00:38:37,195 --> 00:38:39,435
Speaker 3: and forty eight pages of absolute dribble.

739
00:38:39,995 --> 00:38:41,675
Speaker 2: The book is in diary form.

740
00:38:41,395 --> 00:38:44,035
Speaker 3: And the comparison to Jim Boughton's classic Ball four is

741
00:38:44,075 --> 00:38:47,955
Speaker 3: a natural one. Unfortunately, for Lyle and Golenbach, the comparison

742
00:38:48,035 --> 00:38:50,755
Speaker 3: is hardly favorable. Ball four is a book about a

743
00:38:50,755 --> 00:38:52,795
Speaker 3: bunch of men who play baseball, one of them being

744
00:38:52,875 --> 00:38:55,315
Speaker 3: Jim Boughten. The Bronx Zoo, on the other hand, is

745
00:38:55,355 --> 00:38:58,555
Speaker 3: about Sparky Lyle's obsession with not pitching enough for the

746
00:38:58,675 --> 00:39:02,075
Speaker 3: Yankees in nineteen seventy eight. There are some humorless anecdotes

747
00:39:02,115 --> 00:39:05,435
Speaker 3: and superficial character portraits thrown in, but they are there

748
00:39:05,515 --> 00:39:07,755
Speaker 3: only to stretch the book to its pointless length.

749
00:39:08,155 --> 00:39:10,035
Speaker 2: Not only does Lyle's constant.

750
00:39:09,675 --> 00:39:13,555
Speaker 3: Bitching get repetitive, but after fifty pages, it gets damn irritating.

751
00:39:14,155 --> 00:39:17,075
Speaker 3: Another remarkable fault of this book is Lyle's wishy washy

752
00:39:17,075 --> 00:39:20,515
Speaker 3: approach to his teammates and his fellow travelers. Lyle spends

753
00:39:20,555 --> 00:39:25,075
Speaker 3: two pages decimating former Yankee Sam McDowell's reputation, calling McDowell

754
00:39:25,075 --> 00:39:27,635
Speaker 3: everything from a liar to an alcoholic, and then he

755
00:39:27,675 --> 00:39:30,795
Speaker 3: concludes the piece by noting, sudden, Sam, he was a

756
00:39:30,875 --> 00:39:33,475
Speaker 3: joy and a treat I wish the guy all the best.

757
00:39:33,835 --> 00:39:34,635
Speaker 2: He deserves it.

758
00:39:35,155 --> 00:39:38,355
Speaker 3: Every time Lyle blasts a teammate or a management type,

759
00:39:38,395 --> 00:39:41,395
Speaker 3: as he did McDowell, he sugarcoats it with a throwaway

760
00:39:41,435 --> 00:39:45,115
Speaker 3: compliment like that one. A lot of the book's problems

761
00:39:45,155 --> 00:39:47,915
Speaker 3: ohe to co author Golenbach, whose other baseball effort was

762
00:39:47,955 --> 00:39:51,755
Speaker 3: a disjointed Yankee anthology called Dynasty. It was written in

763
00:39:51,795 --> 00:39:55,155
Speaker 3: the same sixth grade style that reappears here. For all

764
00:39:55,195 --> 00:39:57,875
Speaker 3: we know, Lyle could have written this book like Isaac Newton,

765
00:39:58,075 --> 00:40:00,635
Speaker 3: but after Golenbach got at the manuscript, it reads.

766
00:40:00,395 --> 00:40:01,555
Speaker 2: More like Wayne Newton.

767
00:40:02,315 --> 00:40:06,115
Speaker 3: There are supposedly great insights and remarks revelations in this book,

768
00:40:06,115 --> 00:40:09,435
Speaker 3: but they eluded me entirely. Certainly it should be interesting

769
00:40:09,475 --> 00:40:12,635
Speaker 3: to read about the foibles and the fallacies of famous ballplayers,

770
00:40:12,875 --> 00:40:15,035
Speaker 3: but Lyle presents all of it in such a matter

771
00:40:15,075 --> 00:40:18,915
Speaker 3: of fact, dry as cotton style that you find yourself

772
00:40:18,915 --> 00:40:21,755
Speaker 3: praying for the remaining pages of the book to be blank.

Speaker 3: The Bronx sou by Sparky Lyle and Peter Goleenbach. I

774
00:40:26,435 --> 00:40:28,995

Speaker 3: College Draft today, and there were a few names left

785
00:40:56,835 --> 00:40:58,995
Speaker 3: when the San Francisco forty nine ers opened it up

786
00:40:59,035 --> 00:41:02,675
Speaker 3: in the seventh round by picking Stanford running back Phil Francis.

787
00:41:03,235 --> 00:41:05,555
Speaker 2: Of most interests to Ivy League players taken. Among the

788
00:41:05,635 --> 00:41:06,675
Speaker 2: late picks, he Ale.

789
00:41:06,515 --> 00:41:09,515
Speaker 3: Tight end John Spagnola, drafted as a hometown choice of

00:41:09,515 --> 00:41:12,315
Speaker 3: the New England Patriots in the ninth frame. Brown guard

00:41:12,355 --> 00:41:15,955

Speaker 3: year running, the IVY League's Player of the Year was

00:41:18,035 --> 00:41:21,035
Speaker 3: not drafted. Dartmouth quarterback Buddy Tevens left at the church

794
00:41:21,115 --> 00:41:24,275
Speaker 3: by the pros. Nobody nibbled even at Corneill's Joe Holland.

795
00:41:25,035 --> 00:41:27,675
Speaker 3: A two sports selection occurred in the seventh round when

Speaker 3: He happens also to be outfielder Kirk Gibson of the

798
00:41:33,595 --> 00:41:37,115
Speaker 3: Tigers farm at Evansville. Gibson's baseball deal forbids him to

799
00:41:37,115 --> 00:41:40,075
Speaker 3: play any pro football, but then again, the Cardinals might

800
00:41:40,075 --> 00:41:41,995
Speaker 3: get away with it by playing their usual brand of

801
00:41:42,075 --> 00:41:45,635
Speaker 3: amateur football. Sorry about that one, and making the neat

802
00:41:45,675 --> 00:41:48,875

804
00:41:52,475 --> 00:41:55,595

805
00:41:55,675 --> 00:41:58,355
Speaker 3: Texas owner Brad Corbett paid camp and Aarras a million

806
00:41:58,435 --> 00:42:01,515
Speaker 3: dollars for five years of service, and baseball experts said

807
00:42:01,515 --> 00:42:02,475
Speaker 3: Corbett was crazy.

808
00:42:02,835 --> 00:42:05,355
Speaker 2: They were right. Cappan Aarras had just one eighty six

809
00:42:05,475 --> 00:42:05,955
Speaker 2: last year.

810
00:42:05,955 --> 00:42:08,435
Speaker 3: For Texas, and the Rangers were forced to import three

811
00:42:08,475 --> 00:42:10,035
Speaker 3: rookies to play short this year.

812
00:42:10,435 --> 00:42:12,475
Speaker 2: The swap for Chalk has reportedly.

813
00:42:12,035 --> 00:42:14,315

Speaker 6: they have them but the shortstop.

959
00:49:13,875 --> 00:49:14,995
Speaker 2: That's the sports.

960
00:49:14,675 --> 00:49:18,395
Speaker 6: Essay from Downtown, Oly, I don't want to That's the

961
00:49:18,395 --> 00:49:23,555
Speaker 6: sports Essay from Downtown, produced with the invaluable assistance.

962
00:49:24,195 --> 00:49:28,035
Speaker 2: I'm Eric Corn, Craig Mustard and Top Schewing Gum. I'm

963
00:49:28,115 --> 00:49:28,715
Speaker 2: Keith Oberman.

964
00:49:29,515 --> 00:49:33,955
Speaker 10: Let's go twenty one dollars for baseball cards and in

965
00:49:33,995 --> 00:49:36,595
Speaker 10: this week's sports essay, Keith Oberman looks at one team's

966
00:49:36,635 --> 00:49:38,075
Speaker 10: vain hopes of a championship.

967
00:49:38,155 --> 00:49:40,235
Speaker 3: Thank you, Jeff the New York Rangers have not won

968
00:49:40,315 --> 00:49:43,475
Speaker 3: Hockey Stanley Cup since nineteen forty. Ice fans, and especially

969
00:49:43,555 --> 00:49:46,115
Speaker 3: Ranger fans, have puzzled about their team's lack of success

970
00:49:46,115 --> 00:49:48,795
Speaker 3: throughout the years, and they've attributed it to many people

971
00:49:48,835 --> 00:49:51,275
Speaker 3: and things. Fans of the forties blamed it on World

972
00:49:51,355 --> 00:49:53,195
Speaker 3: War Two and the loss of a bunch of stars

973
00:49:53,195 --> 00:49:56,195
Speaker 3: to military service. Fans of the nineteen fifties blamed it

974
00:49:56,275 --> 00:49:59,035
Speaker 3: on World War Two. Fans of the nineteen sixties blamed

975
00:49:59,075 --> 00:50:01,795
Speaker 3: it on World War Two. Fans of the nineteen seventies

976
00:50:01,795 --> 00:50:05,635
Speaker 3: blamed it on John Ferguson. Finally, last I'm Ranger management

977
00:50:05,635 --> 00:50:07,995
Speaker 3: decided it was time to stop hunting down the scapegoats

978
00:50:08,035 --> 00:50:11,115
Speaker 3: and instead take positive action. Freddy Shiro is imported from

979
00:50:11,115 --> 00:50:14,315
Speaker 3: Philadelphia to rebuild the club. The Twins, Swedes, Anders Headber

980
00:50:14,355 --> 00:50:17,395
Speaker 3: again elf Nielsen were swiped from the WHA, and the

981
00:50:17,395 --> 00:50:20,075
Speaker 3: club's practice site was moved from decadent Long Island to

982
00:50:20,155 --> 00:50:23,515
Speaker 3: decadent Westchester. So the Rangers, their moguls, and their fans

983
00:50:23,555 --> 00:50:25,635
Speaker 3: think they will do it this year. Last night's seven

984
00:50:25,635 --> 00:50:28,035
Speaker 3: to one playoff opening route of Los Angeles makes them

985
00:50:28,075 --> 00:50:30,395
Speaker 3: think the late season slump is over. And the march

986
00:50:30,435 --> 00:50:35,195
Speaker 3: to the Cup is underway. You see, the Rangers really

987
00:50:35,235 --> 00:50:37,955
Speaker 3: have no control over what happens to them past March first,

988
00:50:38,035 --> 00:50:38,315
Speaker 3: or so.

989
00:50:38,595 --> 00:50:42,475
Speaker 2: They never had and they never will. For in mid March, their.

990
00:50:42,275 --> 00:50:45,995
Speaker 3: Home, Madison Square Garden is attacked, attacked by the circus,

991
00:50:46,395 --> 00:50:52,915
Speaker 3: attacked by the elephants. Big gray, smelly, ugly elephants. You

992
00:50:52,995 --> 00:50:55,395
Speaker 3: know what elephants do, Yeah, they never forget. But that's

993
00:50:55,435 --> 00:50:58,915
Speaker 3: not what I meant. Elephants are big, they eat a lot,

994
00:50:59,355 --> 00:51:02,755
Speaker 3: they don't use everything they eat. They get rid of

995
00:51:02,795 --> 00:51:06,915
Speaker 3: what they don't use. As Warner Wolf would say, Boom,

996
00:51:07,795 --> 00:51:10,195
Speaker 3: elephant droppings certainly have a lot of direct influence on

997
00:51:10,235 --> 00:51:13,275
Speaker 3: the garden officials' ability to reform the ice service every

998
00:51:13,315 --> 00:51:15,235
Speaker 3: time that the Rangers play while the circus is at

999
00:51:15,235 --> 00:51:18,355
Speaker 3: the garden. But more than that, elephant droppings represent a

1000
00:51:18,395 --> 00:51:22,075
Speaker 3: lurking evil, a suicidal desire by garden officials to sabotage

1001
00:51:22,115 --> 00:51:25,235
Speaker 3: the Rangers every spring by stringing trappieces and nets across

1002
00:51:25,275 --> 00:51:28,035
Speaker 3: the garden ceiling, by giving clowns first call in the

1003
00:51:28,075 --> 00:51:30,675
Speaker 3: area that should be devoted to Dave Maloney and Ron Greschner,

1004
00:51:31,515 --> 00:51:33,835
Speaker 3: by letting elephants let loose on the floor.

1005
00:51:34,795 --> 00:51:37,395
Speaker 2: Ohe you Ranger fans forsaken by your team.

1006
00:51:37,435 --> 00:51:40,915
Speaker 3: For the sake of elephants, don't even dream petition the

1007
00:51:40,915 --> 00:51:43,155
Speaker 3: club to drop the next two games to Los Angeles.

1008
00:51:43,835 --> 00:51:47,355
Speaker 3: It's so much easier than sitting through all this elephant

1009
00:51:47,435 --> 00:51:52,635
Speaker 3: droppings year after year after year, and all you can

1010
00:51:52,675 --> 00:51:54,555
Speaker 3: do is go get a shovel.
