Speaker 1: Hey, come on, we swept the Phillies because of those

41
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: parabolic microphones. We got them strategically. Yeah, you know, that's

42
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: the thing about the Phillies. Okay, and I've said this

43
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: for a long time and all Philadelphia sports really it's

44
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: not just the Phillies, but the Eagles as well. Things

45
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: could be going as well as it could possibly be

46
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: for the Phillies, the Sixers, the Eagles, the Union, whoever

47
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: it is. The things could be going is what they got,

48
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: joelmb They had the process. Things could be going as

49
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: well as possibly could be. Here come the Phi seven

50
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: game lead, and but the Phillies are always just one

51
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 1: step away from complete and total disaster. They have one

52
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: foot on the banana peel at all times. All Philadelphia

53
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: teams have one foot on the banana appeal. They come in

54
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: thinking we're gonna close up the NL East, right, seven

55
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: games up, that's it. We sweep the Mets at the

56
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: ten game League. We're done. We're getting our rotation ready

57
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: for October. This is over the Mets sweep and what

58
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: happens during the series. Let's see you get one Phillies

59
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: player who complains about a microphone and center field that

60
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: has to be moved after the game Phillies insiders and

61
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: analysts and personality saying the microphone has been there for

62
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: seven years, What the hell are we doing blaming their

63
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: own players. Tonight, there was a point in the game

64
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: the Phillies complained that a couple of Mets players were

65
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: too close to the plate when they were in the

66
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: on deck circle, and they complaint having them moved back

67
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: to the on deck circle, like, this is what the

68
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: Phillies are concerned with, and they got swept tonight.

69
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 3: Get the brooms out, get the brooms out. Well, just

70
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 3: because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

71
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 3: If you're not cheating, you're not trying complain. It becomes

72
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 3: that that small line that you have between paranoia and

73
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 3: you know, hey, are they stealing signs? Because this guy's

74
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 3: there and he's relaying information and just being in your

75
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 3: own head. There there's a fine line there that the

76
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 3: Phillies have crossed.

77
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: That one step away everything with three days ago, everything crossed,

78
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: they crossed. Awesome, and now look at them and now

79
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: look where they are now. The NL East is up

80
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: for grabs. Wow, it's not white up for grads. Game

81
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: lead with still six weeks left, to go, and there's

82
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:29,440

00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: like uh like what did Tom in in a Mission Impossible?

159
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,119
Speaker 1: The first one when the one member of the team

160
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: put the stuff in the coffee and he takes the

161
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: sippy runs in the bathroom, Like that's what you need

162
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: to do that. There needs to be some sort of

163
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: and then you got to come in like through the

164
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: ceiling and put your hands out and like make sure

165
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,080

Speaker 1: bibble head, and shoot back up through the ceiling. There's

167
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: one ending in five minutes over one hundred bucks. What oh,

168
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: I thought you made a Mission Impossible movie? Like people

Speaker 1: People that are still waiting, everybody gets one. Everybody gets one.

172
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 3: It was an early game too, because of the MLB rules,

173
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 3: the Players Association rules, UH, collective bargaining, So you had

174
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 3: a five thirty start.

175
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 4: It was screw the Reds night right.

176
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: A lot of people calling in sick to work. I

177
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: gotta go out to the game.

178
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 3: Sun came out from the Galaxy and threw out a

179
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 3: first pitch.

180
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 1: Big deal. Now another big story that broke right before

181
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: we got him there about an hour a little bit

182
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: less than hours before we got on the air. Tonight

183
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 1: is uh. South Carolina women's basketball coach Dawn Staley talked

184
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: about the possibility that she may have had this past

185
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: off season in coaching the Knicks. Remember, she had an

186
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: interview with the team. The Knicks obviously went with Mike Brown,

187
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: but she said today she had a podcast with Aliah

188
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: Boston and Kennis Parker and said if the Knicks offered

189
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: her the job, she would have taken it. Quote, I

190
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: would have had to do it, not just for me,

191
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: for women to break that door open. I would have

192
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: had to. It's the Knicks. I'm from Philly. Sorry, sorry

193
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: you got swept. I'm from Philly, but it's the freaking

194
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: New York Knicks right now. This is this is a

195
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: great statement by down Staley because look, in my lifetime,

196
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: I mean I can't sit here and tell you in

197
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: the next three years, the next five years, But in

198
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: my lifetime, and I mean like in a time I

199
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: think before you know, I get done and retire and

200
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff. In my working lifetime, I'll say,

201
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a women's a women's coach in basketball

202
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: in one of the big professional sports, right but most

203
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: likely in basketball will have it. We've seen it, and

204
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: it's about getting close and then having the person to

205
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: break through. Like Becky Hammond who was an assistant for

206
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: San Antonio for the longest time. And look, I really

207
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: wonder if she was brought in and the whole plan

208
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: was going to be Pop was gonna coach, and then

209
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: eventually he was and Becky Hammon's gonna be the team

210
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: for so long that they were just gonna it was

211
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: gonna be an easy thing. Yes, now Becky's the coach, okay, great,

212
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: Like Becky's got the culture and everything else. Now obviously

213
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: things changed, Becky left to go to the WNBA. Pop

214
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: had to retire. He's going upstairs. But you saw Becky

215
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: Hammond get really close.

216
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 6: Right.

217
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: You saw Don Staley get an interview with the Knicks,

218
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: And there was no reason the Knicks had to interview

219
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: Dawn Staley. There was no one clamoring saying, how are

220
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: you not in you got to interview with That's just

221
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 1: not happening. They gave her an interview. She's a great coach.

222
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: You see your speak, you see your talk. You see

223
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: you're being ambassador for the game of basketball when they

224
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: won the national title and she spent time right after

225
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: the game to salute Caitlin Clark and Iowa Like that

226
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: was an unbelievable, classy move to make right. That was

227
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: on the floor where you're and this is your chance,

228
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: your shining moment. I want to talk about Caitlin and

229
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: what's going on here. And that was an incredible moment

230
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: for her. You see the players what they say about her.

231
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: She was not brought in just say hey, this was Hey,

232
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: maybe Dawn Staley breaks through, right, Like how Mike Tomlin

233
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: got the job with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He wasn't a

234
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: serious candidate when it first come in, but the Rooney

235
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: rule interviewing African American candidate, he came in blew the

236
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: doors off of the Steelers. Here he is forty five

237
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: years later, still coaching the Pittsburgh Steelers. Is sometime before

238
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: I'm done, there will be a women's coach, and probably

239
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: the NBA, just because they're the closest now, is gonna

240
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: be the first team to do it. I don't know

241
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: if it's gonna be in a big market like New York,

242
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: be a small market, smaller market like Sacramento, but it's

243
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: gonna happen. We're gonna see that at some point. We

244
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: are getting closer and closer to that with every day.

245
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, curiosity of the crossover, and it takes a certain

246
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 3: mentality and skill set to want to make that leap

247
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 3: as well. Right, you could be a great coach, uh,

248
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 3: but there's a lot more than just the coaching. And

249
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 3: that's what she alluded to, uh in the interview that

250
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 3: she asked a bunch of other questions about, all right,

251
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 3: how does things how do things change around here? Are

252
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 3: you prepared if I'm hired? What change is here?

253
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 6: Here?

254
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 3: Here, and here? And that's where you're gonna start getting

255
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 3: the glassed over kind of eyes of Well, we hadn't

256
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 3: considered that that or that that are suddenly going to

257
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 3: be part of the day to day. So curiosity, you know,

258
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 3: talking about being on a staff and eventually moving into

259
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 3: that role. Coaches and waiting, well those are rare because

260
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 3: you got very few organizations that really allow you, uh,

261
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 3: the the long place in an organization anymore, even if

262
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 3: you're having success, we see owners getting patient gms that

263
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 3: want their guys because even if the coach stays, GM

264
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 3: cycles out and eventually, you know, if it gets a

265
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 3: bit stagnant, that that you're gonna move. And in the

266
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 3: case of Becky Hammond and it became a all right,

267
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 3: he's never leading. I mean how many times we see

268
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 3: that in college football? Right with men, it's like, all right,

269
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 3: you're the coach in waiting. All right, I'm tired of waiting.

270
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 3: It's been six years, it's been eight years. You saw

271
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 3: with Beheim. We saw it in college football going down

272
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 3: to Bobby Bowden and a bunch of other guys, where

273
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 3: it was like, is he ever actually gonna leave? Is like,

274
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 3: what's what's my endgame here? Can you give me any assurances?

275
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 3: And you can get a higher pay raise and negotiate

276
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 3: that and that's great, and maybe you're slowly but surely

277
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 3: resting control. But eventually you want the placard under your

278
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 3: name to read head coach. So for Dawn Staley, I

279
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 3: I'd love to see more opportunity and more of the

280
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 3: questions being asked, and I'd love to see some video

281
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 3: from behind the scenes exactly how that part of the

282
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 3: interview process went.

283
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 2: Well.

284
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: Look, and that's part of it too, is that the NBA.

285
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: You talk about the one league that hey, we're gonna

286
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: interview coaches outside the box. Right, that's the that's the NBA, right,

287
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: Like that's what they do. Like the NBA, you are

288
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: looking who could you possibly hire?

289
00:13:59,440 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 6: Right?

290
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: Look at look at the look at the way searches go.

291
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: Look at the way the nick search went this offseason,

292
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: calling all these other teams for permission. All these other

293
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: teams are saying no. Like the NBA is like that,

294
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: I might be the only guy. It's a more out.

295
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: It's such an outside the box situation where hey, are

296
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: we gonna hire another retread that we may win may

297
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,640

298
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: and see if it works? Like that, that's gonna be

299
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: something that happens in the NBA. Yeah, Like the Lakers,

300
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: bold move, bold strategy. Let's see if it pays. That's

369
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: to the beginning of the NFL season, closing in on

370
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: a week out, we have a big suspension, we have

371
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: a big injury. What's the impact. We're now getting that

372
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: every day and now we're done. Teams are having their

373
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: last practice before they start their weeks, getting ready for

374
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,719
Speaker 1: their opponents in week one, Like now the tunnel vision begins,

375
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: and now it's all about week one and beyond week

376
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: one and beyond winning time.

377
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 3: Maybe let's go. We're finally through a lot of the

378
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 3: roster shuffling. People are ordering their custom jerseys because their

379
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 3: favorite guy, you know, made their team, didn't get traded,

380
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 3: except for that one guy that's still hanging out in

381
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 3: the battles. But we'll get to him in due time.

382
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 3: But but all of that to say, I mean, it

383
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 3: was a fun day of activity and and and transactions.

384
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 3: So that's good. Every day inching ever closer to that

385
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 3: kickoff with the Cowboys, and you're eagle.

386
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: Get ready, get ready maybe or maybe not Micah party now.

387
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: And here's the thing here, we may not have any

388
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons news on the show today. This may be

389
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: a Micah Parsons free day. On Fox Sports.

390
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 3: I almost wanted to go and try to get through

391
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 3: the four hours without even saying.

392
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 4: Possible if you just brought him up.

393
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: But I'm saying that there may not be any but

394
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: but there's no news. Really, there's no news. I'm telling

395
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: telling you there's no news is not news. But you're

396
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: bringing them up. I'm bringing them up.

397
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 4: It's worthy because we don't talk about nothing's here.

398
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: There's no but there may be talked about the Mets

399
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: last segment talking that's the hottest team in baseball, everything

400
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: about it. We're all dumber for having done it. Uh So, okay, Instead, Frostburg,

401
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: we're talking about the Chiefs. How's that is that good?

402
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: Is that good for you?

403
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 5: As that wide receiver? There is missing six games? I'm cool,

404
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 5: so big news. Of course, the NFL let them off easy.

405
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 5: It should have been the whole season.

406
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: I'm not I thought it was a threezyn three year ben.

407
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: I honestly thought for Rashie Rice that the suspension came

408
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: out today. We knew this was coming for violating the

409
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: NFL's Personal Conduct Policy. H He has accepted a six

410
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: game suspension and he will bop on the starting that

411
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season, eligible to return Week

412
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: seven ahead of their game against the Raiders. Raiders can't

413
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: catch a brick.

414
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 6: Uh.

415
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: There had been a disciplinary hearing scheduled for September thirtieth,

416
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: but this is what Rashie Rice is taking in July.

417
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: I remember he was sentenced to thirty days in jail

418
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: in five years probation for his role in that multi

419
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: car crash in Dallas. They left a lot of people

420
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: hurt during the twenty twenty four offseason. Now, honestly, I'm surprised.

421
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: I thought it was going to be four games. I

422
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: thought that's what it would wind up being, and they're

423
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: gonna the NFLPA would try to whittle it down, but

424
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: it's going to be six games. Started the Seasonmber, we

425
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: thought it was going to be into October as well,

426
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: like so this is a lot.

427
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 3: Wasn't going to have his hearing and discussion points till

428
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 3: the end of the month. So that created a great

429
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 3: deal of consternation because you'd add other other suspensions announced

430
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 3: when we go back to Jordan Addison and others, but

431
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 3: different parts of the rule book at play.

432
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: So he's not going to appeal, meaning this is now set.

433
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: He's serving a six game suspension. He comes back before

434
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 1: week seven, and I'll be honest with you, it doesn't matter. Right,

435
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: this is not gonna change their offenses production this season.

436
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: I've told you this is the passion, this is well.

437
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: The refs is still there. I mean, the refs want

438
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: to be invited to the Kelsey and Teler Swift wedding, right,

439
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: so you know they're gonna happen. Just wait, I mean

440
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: you can't crush that. They're already practicing calling late hits.

441
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: They're on late hits on defense. They're making sure okay,

442
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: where are the defensive ends? Where making sure? How do

443
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: we call late hits? Yeah?

444
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,719
Speaker 3: I mean I say they're better as ushers and efficients

445
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 3: that way, right, So, I mean they're making sure you

446
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 3: get to your proper spot and location in the seeding chart.

447
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: But you know it all works. The Patrick Mahomes middle

448
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: Finger Tour is going to play well this season, whether

449
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: Rashie Rice is playing Week one or not. This is

450
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: a wide receiver room that finally we've talked about. This

451
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: is the healthiest that it has been right now. Obviously

452
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: Rice is out the first six weeks, but you knew

453
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: he was gonna he was gonna miss some time. But

454
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 1: this is this is Worthy. Xavier Worthy had a really

455
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: good rookie year last year, second year in the league,

456
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown healthy, you got Forton, Juju Smith Schuster, still

457
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey and what likely is going to be his

458
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: last year in the NFL going all to the wall

459
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: for my final year before come on, dude, the guy.

460
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: The guy showed that, hey, maybe I have one more year.

461
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 1: Maybe I have one more Hey, now I could be

462
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: the goat at my position. You saw what happened to Tom.

463
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: Are you gonna force me off this field? No, you're

464
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: not gonna try to force me off this The dude

465
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: doesn't have time. The dog does time to play football

466
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: with everything going I know, with his podcast and his marriage,

467
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: and he doesn't have time. This is it. This is

468
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: last time he even say he said last year, I

469
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: can't go out like this the year he had, I

470
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: can't go out like that.

471
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 3: You will, which was overall a pretty good year for

472
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 3: a tight end, just not a tight end named Travis Kelcey.

473
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: But you know, we talked about, you know, Pete Futech,

474
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 1: who's gonna join us Friday night to preview football. We

475
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: talked about his thoughts on the University of Texas. Right,

476
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: big Texas Ohio State game coming this week, and he

477
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: said last week, i am stock up on arch Manning,

478
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: but I'm stocked down on Texas because Texas schedule is

479
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: really difficult. They stub their toe, can easily lose Week

480
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: one and on and on. That's how I feel about

481
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 1: the Chiefs this year. I'm stock up on Mahomes all

482
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: the way up, but I'm stocked down on the Chiefs.

483
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: The division is younger, it's more athletic, the teams are better.

484
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fight just for them to get

485
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 1: a wild card this year. Right that the dynasty in

486
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: we talked about in Kansas City, you are seeing the

487
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: ending embers of it now. But this offensive production you're

488
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: gonna see. Mahomes has been waiting. It's been two years

489
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: of being a game manager. He's not like he's thirty seven,

490
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: thirty eight years old. Where I have to move to

491
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: that part of my career. It just had to be

492
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 1: a point where, hey, my weapons are healthy again, right,

493
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: and I can still get out there, I can still

494
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,479
Speaker 1: spray the ball over the field. I can't just throw anybody,

495
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: you know, for a couple of years, the Chiefs thought, yeah,

496
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: we don't need Tyreek Hill, we don't need these guys.

497
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 1: We can just throw anybody out there, and Mahomes are

498
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: gonna be great. No. I think we saw when Tyreek

499
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: Hill left. Hey, Mahomes still struggled. The team was still good.

500
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: Team won a Super Bowl with Mahomes being a game manager.

501
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: So okay, But as far as this year, now, hey,

502
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: the weapons are there, but the other teams are better.

503
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. The Chiefs have gotten so much better.

504
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: They'll score a ton of points, but they're gonna be

505
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: one of those teams where, hey, don't get an aerial

506
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: dog fight with them. Right, that's gonna be the thing

507
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs. But this year for Mahomes with all

508
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 1: his players, with the weapons out there, finally what he

509
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: thought Hollywood Brown is what they thought he was gonna

510
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: be when they first signed him. Zave you worthy a

511
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: second year in the offense. Now you're bringing Juju Smith

512
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: Schuster back to a team where he's familiar with the system.

513
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: Thornton's had some big play so far in the preseason. Right,

514
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: Kelsey a tight end, You you have what you need

515
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: on that team. And now this is the best weapons

516
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: room that the Chiefs have had in three years. Patrick

517
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: Mahomes is back to being Patrick Holmes. The middle Finger

518
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: tour continues for Mahomes this year. Yeah, what's gonna be

519
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: interesting to watch as this develops. Right, you've got continuity

520
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: in an offensive line. You return virtually your entire starting line. Great,

521
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: always a good starting point because there's plenty of teams

522
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 1: we'll be talking about leading up to kick off a

523
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 1: week from tomorrow. That that's the biggest area of concern, Right,

524
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 1: can you address this?

525
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,959
Speaker 3: How does that front five coalesce?

526
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: Well?

527
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 3: For Patrick Mahomes. We watched last year Rashie Rice missed

528
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 3: a good chunk of the year. It didn't matter, right,

529
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 3: next man up and we watch worthy the second half

530
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 3: of the year. Started to get in Hollywood Brown if

531
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 3: he's healthy, which has been the big knock the last

532
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 3: couple of years. Right, he great flashes, great depth receiver

533
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 3: and a guy that can take it to the house. Well,

534
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 3: we got to keep him on the field. So training room,

535
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 3: it's all on you, Juju Thornton. You brought up all

536
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 3: of those guys. You got Noah Gray there the tight

537
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 3: end and waiting who will have his share of catches

538
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 3: in between the twenties. Now it's a matter of what

539
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 3: you find in the painted grass. The key with the

540
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 3: chiefstall of it is two teams in the AFC West,

541
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 3: by the odds makers and by all eye tests, are

542
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 3: catching up.

543
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: In short order.

544
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 3: Talk about the Chargers and the expectation of that next

545
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 3: leap forward. Justin Herbert, whatever some of the metrics say

546
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 3: about fourth quarters and whatever else, he's a guy that

547
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 3: he is now becoming your quarterback's favorite quarterback. Now he's

548
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 3: got to show it with Jim Harbaugh at the helm.

549
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 3: And then you look at what's going on in Denver.

550
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 3: A team that is getting a lot of noise, a

551
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 3: lot of love. Bo Nicks was a guy finished what

552
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 3: twelfth or back end top ten in terms of yardage

553
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 3: a year ago, and they're only better better running back

554
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 3: room defense, which is top three and by any anybody's

555
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 3: evaluation coming in. And then you got the Raiders who

556
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 3: are gonna be just good enough to piss you off

557
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 3: over the course of the year. Right, they'll steal the

558
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 3: game or two, or test you deep into fourth quarters

559
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 3: that maybe you see some residual effects in a game

560
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 3: off a short week. Whatever else, but but all of

561
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 3: that to say, fifty two percent to win the division

562
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 3: off the current odds, you're still looking at an over

563
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 3: under win total into the double digits. For Patrick Mahomes, Yeah,

564
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of noise because remember it

565
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 3: started getting really loud about that he's nowhere near Brady.

566
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 3: Now it's back. He's just a guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

567
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 3: you turn you add all of those things that are

568
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 3: going on. Travis Kelsey had to hear it and he

569
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 3: wore it, and he's dating and and now I was

570
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 3: engaged with Taylor Swift. So I don't know how much

571
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 3: that truly affected him mentally in the offseason. I mean,

572
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 3: you're in love, man, that'll cloud a lot of things.

573
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 3: Make you feel like you've been drinking Jack and Hoke

574
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 3: all morning. Yeah yeah, and beautiful girls, but you know,

575
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 3: all of those things to say, you got the division

576
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 3: coming at you and the AFC's uh, there's they're not

577
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 3: slouches throughout that conference. So it'll be a tougher road,

578
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 3: but uh, probably the best supporting cast he's had in

579
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 3: three years. And eventually Rashie Rice will get back on

580
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 3: the field. Meanwhile, big injury news in Houston now suddenly

581
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 3: the Texans don't know when Joe Mixon is going to

582
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 3: play this season. You know, obviously a big deal.

583
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 1: You know, the other the other day that the story was, hey,

584
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna miss the first four games, right when teams

585
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: had to get down to their roster's gonna miss the

586
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: first four games of the year. Okay, we're seeing the

587
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 1: running game in the hands now, Nick Chubb, is there

588
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: still a gunbal Wally is there? Okay? Fine? Uh, you

589
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: know they drafted a guy in the fourth round two, Okay,

590
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: we are. But now today it was we're hoping to

591
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: get him back. They they couldn't say when he's going

592
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: to come back to play this season. And again I'll

593
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: say what I said a couple of minutes ago. Doesn't matter.

594
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: Texans bounce back offensively and it and it doesn't matter

595
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: because they are so defensive line and defensive back driven.

596
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: You look at any of the analysis of their defense,

597
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: and their defensive line and defensive backfield are in the

598
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,959
Speaker 1: top three of anybody's list. This is a huge bounce

599
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: back year for Houston. And offensively, yes, CJ. Stroud's terrific quarterback.

600
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: They have depth offensively, even though they're trying to overcome injuries. Look,

601
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 1: Tank Della's out for the year, but they brought in

602
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: a couple of receivers and they look, Nico Collins is fantastic.

603
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: It's not a great division. I distinctly expect at the

604
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: end of the season the Texans to have home field

605
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: advantage in the playoffs, simply because their division is the

606
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: path of least resistance to winning and having the best record.

607
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: AFC West, they're gonna They're gonna all gonna cannibalize themselves, right,

608
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: same thing in the in the AFC North with the

609
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: Steelers in the Bengals, I mean, not the Browns and

610
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: the Ravens.

611
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 6: Uh.

612
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: The South is there, and the AFC East will be

613
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: tougher for the Bills, who will be This is one

614
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: of those years where hey, we're sort of playing the

615
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: AFC Championship game again during the season. I think that

616
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: division is gonna be a little bit tougher than they expect,

617
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: And for the Bills, who have been there so many times,

618
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: it's hard to keep that focus through the entire regular season,

619
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: where hey want to make sure the games are at home.

620
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna play at home all here. I think it

621
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit too tough for the Bills

622
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: and easier for the Texans to be able to run

623
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: rough shot over that division. I expect them to have

624
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: home field advantage at the end of the season. That's

625
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: funny because I have him missing the playoffs.

626
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 3: So there you go. There you go, because I think

627
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 3: the rest of the teams, going with what we just

628
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 3: said about the AFC West, is that the other teams

629
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 3: in the division start to come back at him. You

630
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 3: don't have the depth that wide receiver. The running back

631
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 3: position will be fine. Nick Chubb, Damian Pierce, Woody Marx

632
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 3: is a guy that started flying up Fantasy draft board.

633
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 3: So that's all finn of good. The offensive line still

634
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 3: scares me. They still rank last by a considerable margin

635
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 3: in terms of what they gave last year. That really

636
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 3: created issues for the timing down distance for CJ. Stroud,

637
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 3: and he didn't have his his escape plans last year

638
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 3: with the receivers outside of Nico Collins, and I don't

639
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 3: know that he necessarily has those this year, So tough go.

640
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 3: I expect better from cam Ward Duval rises and actually

641
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 3: we get some competent play on both sides of the

642
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 3: ball there in Jacksonville.

643
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 6: Uh.

644
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 3: And then we both talked about the Colts. Like the Colts, Yeah,

645
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 3: I like Drake. I like the Colts to make one

646
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 3: of those, like I said, to make one of those

647
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 3: hey wild cardish runs right to do that. And like

648
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 3: I said, the other divisions man AFC North and the

649
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 3: AFC Westman, they're gonna beat the crap out of him.

650
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 3: That's why have home field advantage, because your team still stinks.

651
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 3: No matter what's gonna be, We're gonna we're every game

652
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 3: like Rabel's gonna beat everybody up.

653
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna run for two hundred and fifty yards. We're

654
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: gonna be like the Nebraska off into the nine point

655
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: Sure we are, yeah yeah, oh yeah, yeah yeah, We're

656
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: gonna scare, oh be terrific again. Draft the kicker, Justin

657
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: Fields will run for a thousand yards and throw for

658
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: a thousand yards. That's gonna be his season.

659
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 4: Do you think he's throwing for a thousand yards last season?

660
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: Thousand? Fix it out out of Fresco exit, swalling down

685
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 9: the top of the seventh inning here. It all started

686
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,360

00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: Earlier today, what happened?

704
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 9: The Mets completed a three games sweep of the Phillies,

705
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,280

00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 9: the Padres four to three, Diamondbacks edged the Brewers three

707
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 9: to two, Astro shut out the Rockies. Yeah, that one

708
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,000

Speaker 9: Cardinals two to one, Royals all over the White Sox

710
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,120

00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,680

713
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 9: home run number forty one on the season, and they

714
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 9: beat the Nationals eleven to two. When it comes to

715
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 9: the NFL, you guys were just talking about Chiefs wide

716
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 9: receiver Rashi Rice first six games of the season, has

717
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 9: been suspended for violating the league's personal conduct policy. Joke

718
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 9: on Jaguars receiver and quarterback Travis Hunter, who has been

719
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 9: dealing with an upper body injury since mid August. He

720
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 9: didn't play in the final two preseason games.

721
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: He's healthy.

722
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 9: He's gonna play in their season opener against Carolina. Also,

723
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 9: Travis Hunter and Leanne is.

724
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 3: The name of his wife, I think parents.

725
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,440

726
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,239
Speaker 9: three minute video telling in the world that they are

727
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 9: new parents. So they've welcomed a healthy baby boy. Congratulations

728
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 9: to think.

729
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: Because Travis Hunter plays offensive defense, they would have had twins.

730
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 4: You would have thought it would have been better we had.

731
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 1: A boy and a girl. Yeah, you do them both.

732
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: I mean, did you have a boy or girl? No,

733
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: we had both because we do both.

734
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 2: Because we worked that way.

Speaker 1: Sorry, When when when your team can't get anybody to

775
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: pitch into the eighth inning and you not only pitch

776
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: into the eighth inning, you finish it, you get to

777
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:26,720
Speaker 1: be the play of the day. Better, It's a dribbler

778
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: bought the Van McClain s return Stormers Upstart Nolan Mets

779
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: TV on the call. Nolan McClain three and oh first

780
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 1: pitcher in Mets history to do that. He has single

781
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: handedly brought the Mets back from the abyss. That was

782
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: the last seven weeks he has single handedly done it.

783
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 3: Just turned twenty four, three great starts. I was showing

784
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 3: you the secondary market on trading cards of him and

785
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 3: the other guy that's coming up at the end of

786
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 3: the week and all of this fun stuff. People spending

787
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 3: thousands because they've got the Mets insigney attached to them.

788
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,760
Speaker 1: But no, look, we love when we get.

789
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 3: Young hurlers and then we just pray that they stay healthy, right,

790
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 3: particularly you, Yes, you and I have been doing this

791
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 3: show long enough to have watched what was supposed to do.

792
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're on barrow time. Now let's just say long,

793
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: just keep going as long as you can. But I

794
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 1: understand it's gonna end.

795
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 3: But that's it, right, mean, like Mike McDaniel told us,

796
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 3: And then we're one day closer to death. But here

797
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 3: you got, you know, breathing some life back into the

798
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 3: to the Mets. Now, you still have four games to

799
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 3: catch up division wise, but we got a crowded house

800
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 3: for your fun and exciting wildcard. So yeah, every little

801
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 3: positivity step you can take good for you.

802
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: And here's why I'm even more positive. I haven't my

803
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:51,879
Speaker 1: team lost twelve to one. Yeah, I know, at least

804
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: you're not the I mean, the Rangers are winning twenty

805
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: to three. I don't think they're actually the Angels though.

806
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: I don't think the Angels are actually using a position player.

807
00:37:58,560 --> 00:37:59,879
Speaker 1: I think they are hitting off a team.

808
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:01,720
Speaker 4: Tim Salmon's playing right now.

809
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: Pat, it's coach pitch. My new idol is the now

810
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: retired Ralphie the sixth, the Colorado Buffalo's mascot, who was

811
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: announced was retiring, the mascot that runs on the field

812
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: of games and running on the field for years. But

813
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 1: Ralphie is okay. This is why Ralphie the sixth is

814
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: my hero because and I love this. It was reported

815
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: the reason he is retired now after running, you know,

816
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: on the field for the last four years, is because

817
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 1: of his quote indifference to running. That's why he is retiring.

818
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 1: I choose the u to run the quote. Ralphie would

819
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: rather walk in the meadow and sniff the flowers and relax,

820
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: which is his right, you sugar, not his dad. So

821
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 1: there is a new Ralphie, Ralphie the sub which will

822
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: be taking the field for Colorado. Ralphie is retiring because

823
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: he has an indifference to running. This is my hero.

824
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: I've told you running is the worst again the Matt

825
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: Damon philosophy at the end of air. This is stupid.

826
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: Why would anyone do this? Yes, Ralphie is my Why

827
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: would Ralphie's like? Why am I running? Why would I

828
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: want to run? Running is awful? No, I'm done. I'm gonna.

829

Speaker 1: No? No, come on, man, No, no.

00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 3: the athlete. He's just a sedentary buffalo. And you know

844
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 3: what that's be that's saying nice to run really well.

845

Speaker 1: insider MLB Network with us at Fox Sports Radio on

907
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: Twitter at John Morosi, where he will first answer the

908
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: question I posed to him in our DMS earlier today

909
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 1: on Twitter. It is blocking John pal Morosi, Noan McLain,

910
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: front runner for Cy Young and MVP in the National League.

911
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: Your thoughts well, good evening anybody.

912
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 6: Well, I would say the sample size is a little small,

913
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 6: but it is, it is mighty, it is, it is good.

914
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 6: I think that we're seeing a lot from young Nola McClain.

915
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 6: I'm I'm pretty optimistic about about where the Mets are

916
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 6: right now. I was actually saying about a week ago

917
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 6: that hey, see the Reds, they're playing a little better,

918
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 6: the Mets are listing a little bit, and we might

919
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 6: have a robust battle for that for that final NL

920
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 6: wildcard spot. And now, thanks to the momentum of the McClain,

921
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,359
Speaker 6: all of a sudden, as I land here in Philadelphia,

922
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 6: we've got the game here tomorrow, Phillies, Braves. I'd be

923
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,320
Speaker 6: a little bit of a nervous feeling here on the

924
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:06,720
Speaker 6: ballpark tomorrow for the Phillies after that's very emphatic sweep

925
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 6: by the New York Mets.

926
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing, John Paul, and I will tell

927
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 1: you this is that, and this is this is every

928
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: Philadelphia sports team, but specifically the Phillies and the Eagles.

929
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: As good as things are for them at any moment

930
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,919
Speaker 1: in time, they always have one foot on the banana peel.

931
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: Disaster is right around the corner, you know. The Phillies

932
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: coming with a seven game lead, they could have ended it.

933
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 6: But what do they do?

934
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: They're worried about a microphone and center field that all

935
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: the Mets batters are too far out of the the

936
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 1: on deck circle. When when when they when they're when

937
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 1: they're batting, and and they wind up getting swept by

938
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 1: the Mets when should have been a hey, we're coming

939
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,240
Speaker 1: in here, we're the better team. And now the NLS

940
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 1: is up for grabs, it really is.

941
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 6: And and listen, four games is certainly a close enough

942
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 6: margin I think for the Mets to make a serious run,

943
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 6: especially that they've gotten their pitching staff a little younger.

944
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 6: Jonah Toong is coming up. McLean's pish really well, Here's

945
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 6: what I'll say. There's a lot of players on this

946
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 6: Phillies team who have been through it before, who have

947
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 6: a lot of big game experience. They still have Schwarber

948
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 6: having an MVP caliber season. Although the bats have gone

949
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:17,959
Speaker 6: a little quiet for them in the last three days.

950
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 6: And here though, is probably the greater concern for the

951
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 6: Philly And this is where I think tomorrow gets really interesting.

952
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 6: Tomorrow should be a game the Phillies win. They've got

953
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 6: Aaron Nola on the mound. He's getting closer to regaining

954
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 6: his form. He is the guy that must now step

955
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,760
Speaker 6: into the boy that's left by Zach Wheeler. They're facing

956
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,800
Speaker 6: a Braves team that's been out of it for about

957
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 6: two months now against Cal Quantrill, someone that they're lefty

958
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 6: dominant lineup should have a good time with. But if

959
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 6: all of a sudden that game does not go your way,

960
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 6: You've got Chris Sale pitching over the weekend, and really

961
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 6: then it gets a little more nervy, I think for

962
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 6: the Phillies. So you're right on this. This is the

963
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 6: city that, certainly, as you may have heard before, can

964
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 6: get occasionally a little negative about their own teams, and

965
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 6: the Phillies are giving them ample reason to do it

966
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 6: right now and it will see, though I want to

967
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 6: wait to see the other the next couple of days

968
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 6: unfold before I fully sound the panic alarm for the Phillies.

969
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 6: But but we are arriving at that time because the

970
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 6: one thing that could not happen this week if you're

971
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 6: a Phillies person, was to get swept by the Mets.

972
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:33,320
Speaker 6: That's precisely what has happened.

973
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 3: Now we look at the Mats moving forward, you got

974
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 3: a bunch of playoff worthy teams, including another date with

975
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,879
Speaker 3: these Pills in a couple of weeks. But let's stay

976
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 3: with the Phillies for one more second here, Jp, Outside

977
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 3: of parabolic microphones and whatever else is going on in chicanery,

978
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 3: why can they not win at City Field?

979
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,879
Speaker 6: That's a great question, And you're right, the parabolic microphones

980
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 6: are are not the reason here, No, they're not. And

981
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 6: I think one of the reasons why all of a

982
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 6: sudden Phillies fans might be especially concerned is is they

983
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 6: were supposed to have the antidote to two moments like

984
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,879
Speaker 6: this when they acquired Johan Duran, and even he could

985
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 6: not find a way to solve the riddle of City Field.

986
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 6: So I don't think it's necessarily anything schematically about the ballpark.

987
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 6: But the Mets are a better team at home, and

988
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 6: and listen, and Jason knows this. It's not exactly breaking

989
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 6: news here, but the Mets have have underperformed their level

990
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 6: a little bit this season.

991
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 3: They've they've been his eyes just glazed over, JP as

992
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 3: you said that, like you wounded him.

993
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 6: Can we enter Can we enter this into the Understatement

994
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:47,760
Speaker 6: Hall of Fame for the Jason Smith sew sure? The point,

995
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 6: the point being in, Jason, I'm about to give you

996
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 6: some really robust Mets positivity here, which is this that

997
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 6: the Mets, the Mets are. You have played better and

998
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 6: it might finally be happening at the right time of year.

999
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 6: At the very least, they have alleviated any any feelings

1000
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,800
Speaker 6: of panic that Jason had about the Mets missing the

1001
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 6: playoffs entirely because now you've got a much more robust cushion.

1002
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 6: The Reds have not exactly shown themselves to be ready

1003
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 6: for prime time against the Dodgers this week, and so

1004
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 6: I think for a lot of reasons, the Mets feeling

1005
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 6: ever more secure than they are and will be a

1006
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 6: playoff team here in twenty twenty five.

1007
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 1: The greatest baseball insider whoever lived, it's John Paul Morosi,

1008
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: our guest right now on Fox Sports Radio, Jason.

1009
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 6: And there are many, there are many who are better.

1010
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 6: I say this, I am. I am the greatest baseball

1011
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 6: insiders scheduled to join the show this hour.

1012
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 1: Okay, sure, very very good.

1013
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 6: Now, probably I'm probably the greatest one to live in

1014
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 6: my own house. But I but again, my kids might

1015
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 6: have a greater insight than me on a great many issues. Yeah.

1016
00:48:58,040 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're the best and the second.

1017
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:05,399
Speaker 6: Best, second best doctor. My daughter, my thirds, this will

1018
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 6: surprise you. My thirteen year old let me know about

1019
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 6: the scoop about Travis and Taylor getting engaged. So that

1020
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 6: was a big one yesterday I got that text from her.

1021
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 6: Oh I was able to break that story.

1022
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, very Gooch. I know I'm gonna ask

1023
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 1: you something much more difficult now, because this is this

1024
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 1: is a team where I feel like they just try

1025
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: to get through every day, and some days are great

1026
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 1: and some days are terrible, and some days a great

1027
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,479
Speaker 1: day is followed by a terrible day. But John Paul

1028
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:34,959
Speaker 1: makes sense of what the next five to six weeks

1029
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: hold for the New York Yankees.

1030
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 6: Wow, boom, Because you're right. If you watch them on

1031
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 6: the right day, which today was for example, eleven to

1032
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 6: two went over the Nationals, you say to yourself, why

1033
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:56,280
Speaker 6: exactly do they sometimes struggle it's almost difficult to figure

1034
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 6: it out, and yet they do. And yet they're not

1035
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 6: the first place team in the American League Ees. That

1036
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 6: distinction belongs to the Toronto Blue Jays. The Yankees were

1037
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 6: also pretty good. They scored ten runs on Monday against

1038
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 6: the Nationals, so they have shown even with Aaron Judge

1039
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 6: in a compromise physical state, with the inability to throw

1040
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 6: the baseball, he can still hit and he is still

1041
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 6: a threat in the middle of that lineup. I think

1042
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 6: one of the other key things that's happened out for

1043
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 6: the Yankees is Cody Bellinger's bad as picked up. He

1044
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,319
Speaker 6: had a big game earlier in the week as well,

1045
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 6: so I think they will find a way, certainly to

1046
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 6: get to the playoffs. I'm not sure if they'll catch

1047
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,959
Speaker 6: the Blue Jays, but they are still and they've shown

1048
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,760
Speaker 6: it this week to be a dangerous team even without Sodo.

1049
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 6: They have to hope, and it's going to be a

1050
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:49,280
Speaker 6: tall order for Bellinger to hit the way that Soto

1051
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,280
Speaker 6: did last year in October. I'm not sure that anybody

1052
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 6: really can. But they need a little bit more consistency

1053
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 6: from the rotation freedes to find a way to have

1054
00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 6: a stronger finishing kick. But you're right something this week

1055
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 6: and you say to yourself, how do they ever struggle?

1056
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,840
Speaker 6: And there's a there's a bit of a microscope, a

1057
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 6: significant one on Anthony Bolpi. You could say that, but

1058
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 6: I think actually the way that Aaron bon has managed

1059
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 6: this team guys has been really good. I know that

1060
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 6: he gets a lot of criticism.

1061
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 2: What else is he going to do?

1062
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 6: Who else is he going to play at certain positions?

1063
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 6: He's got the roster he has, and I think he

1064
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:26,399
Speaker 6: has done a much better job than a great many

1065
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:27,800
Speaker 6: Yankee fans want to give him credit for.

1066
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 3: I loved your visceral reaction to Jason's class JP, because

1067
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 3: it sounded like you were gonna do the virtual equivalent

1068
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 3: of what FM DJs would do when they wanted to

1069
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 3: go have a cigarette, go to the bathroom, or go

1070
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 3: get a slice of pizza.

1071
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 1: Heated up?

1072
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,800
Speaker 3: Because wow, how long do you have for this answer

1073
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 3: kind of thing? Right? Here's an eight.

1074
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: Minute to go through?

1075
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 2: All right?

1076
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 3: So let me let me go to brass Tacks home

1077
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 3: run today for Aaron Judge, has cal Rawley caught eclipsed him?

1078
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 3: I know where all a Homer and Army are the

1079
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 3: only two categories where they're really on par But has

1080
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 3: he caught them? Is their momentum towards a big dumper MVP.

1081
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 6: I think we are in an absolute dead heat right

1082
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 6: now between Judge and Raleigh, and now the Mariners picked

1083
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 6: up a big win today too. They are a game

1084
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 6: and a half back of Houston and certainly on a

1085
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 6: pretty comfortable path to the playoffs. Not entirely tour, but

1086
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 6: they're in a good position. What I'll say is this,

1087
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 6: They're at a dead heat now, and the numbers, the

1088
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:38,439
Speaker 6: metrics in a lot of these voters' minds, I think

1089
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 6: will begin to favor Raleigh more because with Judge not

1090
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 6: playing defense, Raleigh is able to continue to accrue defensive

1091
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 6: value points, if you will, at the most important defensive

1092
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 6: position on the field. And with one more months, if

1093
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:02,360
Speaker 6: Raleigh keeps again maintain painting his offensive production and is

1094
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 6: behind the plate almost every day for a team that's

1095
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 6: going to the playoffs, it's I think it's hard. It

1096
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 6: really is hard. I think from a numerical standpoint to

1097
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 6: argue that with the two of them almost equivalent right now,

1098
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 6: that that Judge as a d H is substantially more

1099
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:27,280
Speaker 6: valuable than Raleigh as a catcher. It's it's so close.

1100
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 6: There's no question Judge has them in the average category.

1101
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:34,240
Speaker 6: It's they're obviously very close in terms of home runs

1102
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 6: in RBI. It's just the defensive component for a team

1103
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 6: that leans heavily on him. That this is a team

1104
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 6: that without Cal Raleigh would not be would not be

1105
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 6: where they're at. And it's also true that, by the way,

1106
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 6: the Yankees would not be where they're at without Aaron Judge.

1107
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 6: Let's be fair about that. They would they would probably

1108
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,400
Speaker 6: be behind the Royals and the al wildcard standings if

1109
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 6: it weren't for Aaron Judge. So there are no wrong answer.

1110
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:02,839
Speaker 6: I want to make that clear that if that if

1111
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 6: you are voting for Judge, that it's not like you're

1112
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 6: voting against Raleigh, if Raleigh is your second choice. I

1113
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,360
Speaker 6: do think it's it's clear to my colleagues who are

1114
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 6: voting on the Zemp Award, I think we know who

1115
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 6: number one or number two are in some order. If

1116
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 6: you're voting Judge one Raleigh eight, we got to have

1117
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 6: a conversation because maybe you know, like it's batting average,

1118
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 6: whatever it is, we got to have a talk. It

1119
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:29,879
Speaker 6: is obvious that this is a two person race. Every

1120
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:32,799
Speaker 6: americanly give ballot had better have the two of them

1121
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 6: one two in some order. And all those are acceptable

1122
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,400
Speaker 6: choices one and two. And I think it's it's a

1123
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 6: it's a dead heat. But again, the ability for Raleigh

1124
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 6: to accrue defensive value over the final month could be

1125
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:46,800
Speaker 6: the deciding factor.

1126
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:48,799
Speaker 1: All right, So let me jump leagues now. Is something

1127
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 1: we talked about earlier in the week. Would you say

1128
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 1: the exact same thing you just said for Judge and

1129
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 1: Raleigh for Otani and Schwarber.

1130
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 6: So here we go. Obviously, DH DH Schober has this

1131
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 6: amazing home run season. But Otani does the thing that

1132
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,320
Speaker 6: he did tonight, which is he still pitches. And I

1133
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 6: know that it's not a statistically significant number of innings.

1134
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 6: It's not like he's throwing one hundred and fifty innings

1135
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 6: this year, but it's something, and and the Dodgers are

1136
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:24,319
Speaker 6: in this very close race with the Padres to where

1137
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 6: a start like tonight is incredibly meaningful and indeed, to

1138
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 6: use the word valuable to his team. So I think

1139
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:35,400
Speaker 6: that with where the Dodgers are now, with how important

1140
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 6: Otani has become to their rotation, I lean Otani. It's

1141
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 6: close again, there's not a there's no wrong answer either way.

1142
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,359
Speaker 6: And and let's see, this is one of those one

1143
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 6: of those discussions where the standings, I think, on some

1144
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:51,319
Speaker 6: level will tell us the tale a little bit too.

1145
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 6: If the Padres all of a sudden surge in September

1146
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 6: and win the division by three games, and meanwhile the

1147
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 6: Phillies win the when the NL is going away and

1148
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 6: Shober hit some club record home run total up there

1149
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 6: with what Ryan Howard's done in the past, maybe I

1150
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,280
Speaker 6: have a different answer, but for now I see Otani

1151
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:15,400
Speaker 6: being slightly ahead of Shoorber, whereas I see Judge and

1152
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 6: Raleigh neck and neck, with Raleigh gaining some momentum.

1153
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 3: All right, last one for you real quick here at JP.

1154
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 3: Next week we'll start diving into predictions for the Detroit Lions.

1155
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 3: But thirty four and a half point favorites this week

1156
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:33,840
Speaker 3: the University of Michigan against New Mexico. Forty nine and

1157
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:34,800
Speaker 3: a half is the total.

1158
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:38,400
Speaker 6: What say you, I say New Mexico is able to

1159
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:42,320
Speaker 6: get within that number, So I would take New Mexico

1160
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:44,879
Speaker 6: and the points. And here's part of the reason why

1161
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 6: you got a young man and Bryce Underwood is very,

1162
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:50,840
Speaker 6: very first collegian start. I know he's going to be

1163
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 6: a star, I know all those things, but that's a

1164
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,919
Speaker 6: lot of pressure on him right right off the bat,

1165
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 6: primetime game, a lot of attention. I think that Michigan

1166
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 6: is gonna win, but it's gonna be closer than what

1167
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 6: those numbers suggest. So that's what I've got. I've got,

1168
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 6: let's say thirty five to fourteen. I'm going thirty five

1169
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 6: fourteen Michigan.

1170
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 1: Oh, there we go. The first, there we go Football

1171
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 1: pick of the year for John Paul Morosi. High school quarterback? Undefeated?

1172
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 4: Right?

1173
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:25,439
Speaker 1: Is high school quarterback? Your senior?

1174
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 6: Is that? What? It was? Actually quite the opposite I was.

1175
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 6: I was how do I say this correctly? I was

1176
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 6: undefeated at losing.

1177
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 1: I lost.

1178
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 6: My record of losing was perfect, a perfect zero to nine.

1179
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 4: That's what I was.

1180
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 1: Well, you are undefeated with us. John Paul Morosi on
