Speaker 1: Good morning, Dan Patrick Show here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1: Jason Smith and my bass friend Mike Harmon. What's going on?
Speaker 1: Nic turnaround? I'll tell you if we live in a
Speaker 1: different world way when people went to bed last night,
Speaker 1: it was one world and now everybody has woken up
Speaker 1: to the new reality today that they never thought was possible.
Speaker 1: I didn't know. Did I get transported to another Marvel
Speaker 1: Cinematic Universe world. Well, it's still a couple of days
Speaker 1: before Cocaine Bear comes out. It is, well, the world
Speaker 1: will change again that day too, But it changed today.
Speaker 1: We'll change again on frid But it's I mean that's
Speaker 1: a big change. But it changed. I mean change because
Speaker 1: now we live in a world where Derek Carr is
Speaker 1: a future first ballot Hall of Famer with the New
Speaker 1: York Jets. Not just a Hall of Famer, not just
Speaker 1: a very good guy, you know, because that's people get
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. Now you're very good. It's
Speaker 1: the hall of Fame. This is when your first ballot
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, you are one of the best of
Speaker 1: the best. And now this is the world we live
Speaker 1: in where Derek Carr could be a future first ballot
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer with the New York Jets. And that
Speaker 1: is a much different world that people went to bed
Speaker 1: to last night. I gotta be honest, I wake up
Speaker 1: to that kind of news and I look around. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's cold here in southern California. I know that's gonna
Speaker 1: be the talk of the day. High winds rain ton
Speaker 1: of snow advisories. So just like the rest of the country,
Speaker 1: at least for a moment, what do you have the
Speaker 1: doppler out look? Whether all the point was that it's
Speaker 1: a topsy turvy world and if they it's gonna be
Speaker 1: cold in southern California, there's gonna be precipitation. Remember there
Speaker 1: was the song because it never rains in southern California.
Speaker 1: And they're lying, they lie to us. And now you're
Speaker 1: telling me, in this world, in this new reality, that
Speaker 1: there may be an opportunity for Derek Carr not only
Speaker 1: to be a Hall of Famer, not only a Hall
Speaker 1: of very good, but a guy who could go to
Speaker 1: the Penthouse alongside primetime Dean Sanders. Call her me intrigued.
Speaker 1: Now listen, now, listen before we get into that. I mean,
Speaker 1: tell me, Dallas, do I need a jacket when I
Speaker 1: go out this morning? Am I gonna be? Okay? Would
Speaker 1: you know? It was only a brisk forty two degrees
Speaker 1: okay this morning? Again for the rest of the country,
Speaker 1: I know they're laughing and saying, well things under their
Speaker 1: breath that I'm not going to do for FCC compliancy.
Speaker 1: But the ideas in southern California. You know how it
Speaker 1: brings everybody to a crawl, and that's why we're at okay.
Speaker 1: I'm just I just didn't know that overnight you turned
Speaker 1: into a meteorologist. Well you know what, and they did
Speaker 1: me a saw and they and Joel and company they
Speaker 1: put on they put on some local morning news for
Speaker 1: me here in the studio. This isn't this is a
Speaker 1: new world. Mike Harmon went to bed radio host. He
Speaker 1: wakes up meteorologist. Look, I'm trying to grow. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to expand my horizons. I think i'd look good with
Speaker 1: my you know, being able to point, especially if I
Speaker 1: get some good work in on my delts. I could
Speaker 1: be pointing towards you know, the Mountain range, saying we're
Speaker 1: gonna have some heavy weather there, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: I look like Arnold and Franco Colombo posing and pumping iron.
Speaker 1: See I'm picturing you more like Brick Tamblin with a
Speaker 1: just muttering around your heir, your house going high pressure
Speaker 1: frontsig pressure fronts sigh press should probably likely the case,
Speaker 1: but you know it's entertaining for you should probably just
Speaker 1: lay low for a while. I'm thinking you should just
Speaker 1: lay and do you have a tried anything you should do?
Speaker 1: But what is it? Wait? What is what are we
Speaker 1: talking about? Derek Derek Carr Hall fam According to ESPN's
Speaker 1: Danna Rassini, Derek Carr who had a big visit with
Speaker 1: the Jets over the course of the weekend. Everybody liked
Speaker 1: everybody my timeline. People are sending me pictures of here's
Speaker 1: Derek Carr at dinner with Robert Sala Jason. How do
Speaker 1: you feel. I'm like, I don't want Derek Carr, but
Speaker 1: everything went so well. And according to Danna Rassini, she
Speaker 1: said on ESPN yesterday late yesterday that the Jets told
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, if he comes to New York and wins,
Speaker 1: he could be a first ballot Hall of Famer. Derek Carr,
Speaker 1: not Bridge order back, Derek cart not the guy who
Speaker 1: got waived by the Raiders. Derek Carr, first ballot Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer again. I can't believe David Carr has not
Speaker 1: been all over NFL network the last twenty four hours
Speaker 1: going look at my brother, my brother, first ballot Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer with the American flag and Ben busts from
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame and just big speeches from years pass,
Speaker 1: from guys going in, all of it, pictures of Brady
Speaker 1: who was going in in five years, replaced by Derek Cargo.
Speaker 1: I can't believe we haven't seen that future first ballot
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer Mike Harbon. What a world? What time
Speaker 1: to be alive? Well, you know what it is early
Speaker 1: here West Coast. They might be prepping the graphics for
Speaker 1: that half hour infomerc to Aaron little later on this morning.
Speaker 1: Hello America. Do you believe in dreams? Do you believe
Speaker 1: in hope? And you're on the path to greatness? By
Speaker 1: my book, I watched the Jets put two guys in
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame on the same day. The Jets.
Speaker 1: Don't tell me anything is impossible. Don't tell me dreams
Speaker 1: can happen. Hey, in an hour span, I watched the
Speaker 1: Jets get too Hall of Famers and get the offensive
Speaker 1: and defensive rookie of the year's name. So yeah, dreams
Speaker 1: can happen. And not only that, I can tell you
Speaker 1: exactly how Derek cark Hand become a first ballot Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer with the Jets. You're ready, I could do it.
Speaker 1: I could do it. You've yeah, yeah, no, walk the earth.
Speaker 1: You were walking around the beach like you were in
Speaker 1: the Hello video by Lionel Richie all that time ago,
Speaker 1: pondering your future. Well you remember you remember Lionel Richie's Hello.
Speaker 1: It's a fantastic video, like I remember the White Snake
Speaker 1: Here I Go Again video. I don't remember the Lionel Richie.
Speaker 1: What do you want, hey, you want to see those
Speaker 1: great video? No, I want to watch the deep thinking
Speaker 1: videos of long sweeping camera angles and not big time
Speaker 1: cuts every three seconds. Um. Tell me you didn't want
Speaker 1: to go out of your way to try to replicate
Speaker 1: that that bust that was made of Lionel Ritchie in
Speaker 1: that video. I don't remember the video, funny, I don't.
Speaker 1: Now come on, do you want to talk to you
Speaker 1: about Tawny Kittain and Here I Go again in the car? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we could talk about that. That's really gone. No, No,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? I didn't bring up I was
Speaker 1: talking about just the video because you're okay, Here's how
Speaker 1: Derek Carr becomes a future. First, I'm trying to protect
Speaker 1: you from yourself right here, but but no, but here,
Speaker 1: But it was brought up so we had to talk
Speaker 1: about it. Now she's spoken into existence. Here's how it happens.
Speaker 1: You go to the Jets. Think about this, the Jets,
Speaker 1: not not not the Steelers who have won super Bowls,
Speaker 1: not the Cowboys of one super Bowls, the Packers, the Patriots. No, no,
Speaker 1: you go to the Jets and win not one, but
Speaker 1: two super Bowls. You're going to the Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: because you're you brought the Jets a super Bowl. Anybody
Speaker 1: who goes to a the Jets or be the Lions
Speaker 1: and wins two super Bowls as a quarterback is going
Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame. It doesn't matter. Look, Eli
Speaker 1: Manning's going to the Hall of Fame. He wasn't great
Speaker 1: during the regular season, but the guy won two super
Speaker 1: Bowls and he outdueled Brady and he had two minute
Speaker 1: comebacks to win each one. So eventually, yeah, he's getting
Speaker 1: into the Hall. The most iconic story he's getting super Bowls,
Speaker 1: He's getting in. Derek Carr will wind up being he
Speaker 1: will be feated for many iconic things. You go to
Speaker 1: the Jets, man, this is this is like not not
Speaker 1: just a once in a hundred year lifetime thing. Winning
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl with the Jets. This you do it twice. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're going to the Hall of Fame. You have the
Speaker 1: career you're having now, which you know been the Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl four times, and you assume that if he's going to,
Speaker 1: you know, go to the super Bowl with the Jets,
Speaker 1: he's having somewhat of a decent year and in a
Speaker 1: year where Tyler Huntley goes to the Pros, I mean
Speaker 1: he was a Pro bowler this year. Yeah, he'll get
Speaker 1: a couple more selections. You're talking about a six seven
Speaker 1: time Pro bowler, two times Super Bowl champion with the Jets. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're going to the Hall of Fame. Derek Carr will
Speaker 1: go if he brings the Jets a championship, because it's
Speaker 1: the Jets that'll happen. This is really a special kind
Speaker 1: of thing because you haven't seen the playoffs since what
Speaker 1: twenty ten, it's been a while. Yeah, it's been a
Speaker 1: minute and all of a sudden, jumping to the hey,
Speaker 1: look at us multiple super Bowl victoris. I like that.
Speaker 1: That's positive thinking. That's culture changing and literally for the
Speaker 1: Jets and for American culture. Because you want to talk
Speaker 1: about a stick to it, try hard American flag waving
Speaker 1: behind you, maybe David Carr out there as your cheerleader
Speaker 1: and you're hype man, then this is this is the
Speaker 1: story for you. I mean this is you could sell
Speaker 1: this in Hollywood right now. This would be the great.
Speaker 1: Kurt Warner's story had nothing on this. Oh no, no, no,
Speaker 1: this is the man. He goes from a guy that
Speaker 1: ran through coaches and gms and everybody's made excuses for
Speaker 1: him for nearly a decade. And he had a couple
Speaker 1: of good years, right, he had that one year where
Speaker 1: everybody miraculously stayed healthy as a member of the Raiders,
Speaker 1: and he was looking to be the MVP. And then
Speaker 1: suddenly snap, that was it, bro look and it all,
Speaker 1: it all went asunder, And now we're looking to climb
Speaker 1: that mountain again again. Dop l Radar says, blizzard warnings
Speaker 1: in southern California, but we're looking at the Iran say
Speaker 1: the idea for the Jets. Look, everybody has history right
Speaker 1: as individuals. All of you out there wherever you may
Speaker 1: be listening, thank you for being part of the program
Speaker 1: this morning and given us a few minutes of your time.
Speaker 1: You all have your history individually, where you came from,
Speaker 1: how you grew up, what schools you went to. Relationships
Speaker 1: along the way, maybe you got married, maybe long term relationships.
Speaker 1: Maybe those didn't work out, and you're moving on into
Speaker 1: another phase. You deal with people at work, children, your parents,
Speaker 1: all of that you've got to deal with. Likewise, we've
Speaker 1: got history, We've got identity with NFL teams. You brought up,
Speaker 1: the Steelers, you brought up, you know, say, the Patriots
Speaker 1: in the same division. You've got history. You've got great history.
Speaker 1: You've got top of the mountain history. And then you
Speaker 1: got the jets. You've been climbing low these fifty years
Speaker 1: and a lot of slipping, a lot of slipping, maybe
Speaker 1: be running into an offensive lineman and getting forklifted. You've
Speaker 1: got a lot of history. This would be a new path.
Speaker 1: This would like you went to the store and you
Speaker 1: bought the best gripping shoes you possibly could find, and
Speaker 1: you finally climbed to the top of the mountain, plant
Speaker 1: your flag. That would be Derek Carr here, first ballot
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. I don't see it, but I like
Speaker 1: it because it's an American tale. See now I'm picturing that.
Speaker 1: I like that. A big photo op of Derek Carr
Speaker 1: climbing to the top of Mount Everest, planting a Jets
Speaker 1: flag at the top, waving to everybody, taking off whatever
Speaker 1: you know, Parker, he's wearing number four Jets Jersey on
Speaker 1: would be the equivalent of climbing the stairs in Philadelphia
Speaker 1: when you're rocky. What would Derek Carr do in New
Speaker 1: York slash New Jersey a trash heap or something there?
Speaker 1: Come on, man, dude, come on, he man phil that
Speaker 1: he can go climb up. No, he would, don't come on,
Speaker 1: don't insult New York like that. He would climb the
Speaker 1: Joker steps. That's what he would do. They did that
Speaker 1: with Seth Rollins as a teaser ahead for Rescumdia thirty.
Speaker 1: Now he would just climb up the Joker steps and
Speaker 1: dance all the way up. But look at me, and
Speaker 1: he'd be wearing number twelve because he would say, you
Speaker 1: know what I want, number twelve. I want twelve. That's
Speaker 1: what I want. That's the number I want. Joe Namith
Speaker 1: would give it to Aaron Rodgers, No, screw would give
Speaker 1: it to me. And he would change his accent instead
Speaker 1: of being the Southern accent that he's had for some reason.
Speaker 1: The last few years, he would now have a completely
Speaker 1: New York accent, and he would adopt it right away
Speaker 1: the first press conference as a jet Derek Carby busting
Speaker 1: out that accent and be all over the place. So
Speaker 1: his transition is easier than Austin Butler's should go out
Speaker 1: of the same speech person in Hollywood to try to
Speaker 1: help that transition along with or does he just hang
Speaker 1: out in the bodegas. No, just listen to me, Just
Speaker 1: listen to to get there. Hey, Derek, welcome to Welcome
Speaker 1: to New York. How do you feel? Hey? Listen, hey,
Speaker 1: Samini Costello, all you guys yet you know what? Blank
Speaker 1: you guys? All right, I've been I've been this guy
Speaker 1: for my entire life and now I'm in New Yorker. Okay,
Speaker 1: So now I will beat you up. I will. I
Speaker 1: will beat you and you and you come on, give
Speaker 1: me your worst, give me your worst. I gotta rite here.
Speaker 1: I got it right. But wait, Derek, you never really
Speaker 1: spoke like that before, No, I did. Don't go find
Speaker 1: something money internet, you joker. That that shows me talking
Speaker 1: not like this. You can't. It's all been scrubbed, everything
Speaker 1: scrubbed off in that this is me now, let's go.
Speaker 1: What do you want to talk about? I heard I
Speaker 1: just heard someone talk about a bodega. I do, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you bring it up. I'm I'm a new I've lived
Speaker 1: in New York my whole life. Look, here's superimposed video
Speaker 1: with me in somewhere in New York. Right. Here's me
Speaker 1: at the Statue of Liberty. Here's me. Here's me over here.
Speaker 1: Look look at me. I'm getting a sandwich over here.
Speaker 1: Look at this is me. I've been in New Yorker,
Speaker 1: this is me and my whole When you talk about it,
Speaker 1: don't make fun of me. I'll make fun. That's exactly
Speaker 1: what he would do. Well, you want to assimilate, and
Speaker 1: you really want to make sure you're embraced by the locals.
Speaker 1: I don't know if doing a one eighty from a
Speaker 1: southern accent there is necessarily gonna because because you really
Speaker 1: got to back that up with your play, it works.
Speaker 1: And if you then become a first ballot, well, I
Speaker 1: mean it work for Kelly so long as you win games. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well dude, And here's the thing. Is it exciting to
Speaker 1: get Derek Carr? No? Not really. But if it's like
Speaker 1: you have a flow, it's like I have a flow
Speaker 1: chart up in my house. Okay, who is your new quarterback?
Speaker 1: And you put the name in and then then it says,
Speaker 1: is your quarter quarterback Zach Wilson. And then you know,
Speaker 1: one arrow points to a smiley face and one arrow
Speaker 1: points to a frowny face. So I would point to
Speaker 1: a smiley face because it's not Zach Wilson. Okay, that's exciting,
Speaker 1: and then we go down the flow chart from there.
Speaker 1: But that's the number one thing. Whoever they sign is
Speaker 1: going to be better than him. So okay, a lot
Speaker 1: of potential suitors out there eventually. But to put it
Speaker 1: into the hey, the Jets had this wonderful meeting potential
Speaker 1: first ballot. I mean, that is one of the greatest
Speaker 1: cell jobs ever. I don't know how you do it
Speaker 1: with a straight face, if one. I mean, you saw
Speaker 1: the video of Rassini trying to say it on air,
Speaker 1: and nobody can keep a straight face, but the person
Speaker 1: of the Jets. It's like, all right, look, how much
Speaker 1: do you know about the team's history. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm new here. It's like, okay, we're gonna need you
Speaker 1: to really pump up this sales pitch talking about how
Speaker 1: he can be a first ballot Hall of Famer. It's like,
Speaker 1: am I getting extra money for the I mean, you're
Speaker 1: changing my title. Yes, we're gonna make you seem more
Speaker 1: important today because you're gonna have to say this and
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to say it straight face, because we're
Speaker 1: really doing a sell here. And then of course David
Speaker 1: Carr was more than happy to run with it. Oh dude,
Speaker 1: he's he's he's become He's become a WWE hype man.
Speaker 1: Now he's not even like an like all his quotes
Speaker 1: now about Hey, here's Derek's free agency is gonna be
Speaker 1: done over a long period of time. It's like, okay,
Speaker 1: he's the guy they talk to me. He's Paul Bearer.
Speaker 1: Now he's like he's like leading Derek Carter the ring
Speaker 1: with the ashes of former Raiders quarterbacks. Oh, here's Jeff Hostetler,
Speaker 1: Oh Jarred Stend. I mean, this is what David Carr's become.
Speaker 1: It's that's pretty good. Over the last six weeks or
Speaker 1: so on our show in the evening, that has been
Speaker 1: kind of what I've been watching with David Carr and
Speaker 1: scratching my head. You took it to the full Paul
Speaker 1: Bearer mode, complete with ashes, Twitter and out about a Fresca.
Speaker 1: Mike gets smallen dome. Just get used to that phrase.
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, future first ballot Hall of Fame quarterback, it's
Speaker 1: just weird. Or the New York Jets. He's led the
Speaker 1: league in four categories, you know, and one of them
Speaker 1: is positive. One of them is positive, and the other
Speaker 1: ones aren't positive. But one of them is positive. So
Speaker 1: that's good on their long run begins with that first step,
Speaker 1: little work, first ballot Hall of Him, first ballot Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer Phone numbers eight, seven, seven ninety nine. On
Speaker 1: Fox Jason Smith Mike Harmon in for Dan and the
Speaker 1: Danetes Today. Coming up next, Hey, we got a special
Speaker 1: guest stopping by to tell us, um what teams are
Speaker 1: gonna wind up with show? Hey, Otani? Maybe by the deadline?
Speaker 1: Dodgers Mets? Who keep it right here? This is Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Be sure to catch the live edition of
Speaker 1: The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six
Speaker 1: am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio in the iHeart Radio
Speaker 1: app Fox Sports Radio. The Dan Patrick Show Jason Smith
Speaker 1: and My Bess friend Mike Harmon in for Dan and
Speaker 1: the Danets. Today, we got more NFL on the way. Hey, look,
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys are doing something really interesting that Dak
Speaker 1: Brett Scott probably doesn't like. We got that coming up
Speaker 1: in a few minutes right now. Joining us on the
Speaker 1: hotline MLB Network, Fox Sports Radio Baseball Insider Extraordinaire to
Speaker 1: tell us how it's either going to be the Mets
Speaker 1: or the Dodgers for show Aotani in a few months.
Speaker 1: It's John Paul Morosi JP. What's happening, buddy, Good morning.
Speaker 1: This will surprise you, Jason, But there actually are twenty
Speaker 1: eight other teams in the major leagues those two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but but they spend all the money. Nobody else has
Speaker 1: the money they do. They get all the cash. That's why.
Speaker 1: Sure seems like the Podres have a decent amount of
Speaker 1: money these days. And and uh and maybe they will
Speaker 1: make a play for a show if they can't sign
Speaker 1: Manny Machado long term. How about that? You know, what
Speaker 1: what'd you make of that when when Machado says, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm because you know, Jacob deGrom did it last year
Speaker 1: and said I'm opting out. That was his stance all year.
Speaker 1: He opted out. He went someplace else, why this from Machado.
Speaker 1: He's getting paid a decent amount of money. He's doing
Speaker 1: this he thinks I can get actually more from somebody.
Speaker 1: Steve Cohen or somebody else is going to say, yes,
Speaker 1: give me that cash exactly. I think that his calculus
Speaker 1: is that because of now being in a new basic agreement,
Speaker 1: because of now having Steve Cohen with his interest in
Speaker 1: all the superstar players bidding up the value of players
Speaker 1: across the major leagues, it has changed the market. Certainly,
Speaker 1: inflation could be part of that as well. When you
Speaker 1: when you think about in larger economic forces, but you
Speaker 1: line up all of those different elements, and for me,
Speaker 1: it's a pretty clear demonstration that the market has changed.
Speaker 1: And when you're performing at an MVP level as Machado has,
Speaker 1: it allows you to potentially maximize your value in a
Speaker 1: different way. And I think Manny sees the landscape. He
Speaker 1: sees how much his own team, the padres it's just
Speaker 1: spent on Xander Bogart's and he says, hey, we have
Speaker 1: to have a bit of a market readjustment, and he's
Speaker 1: he's so confident in his own abilities, Jason, that I
Speaker 1: think that he sees the end of the season and
Speaker 1: realizing that there's a pretty good chance they'll be able
Speaker 1: to do even better than he just has with the Podres,
Speaker 1: and and does he have an interest in going somewhere else.
Speaker 1: It'd be right now hard to imagine a better competitive
Speaker 1: situation than the Podres because of just their interest level
Speaker 1: and getting better and winning a championship, and the roster
Speaker 1: that they've built, the base of talent they have. There
Speaker 1: are not going to be many teams that have a
Speaker 1: better chance to win. You might argue some of them
Speaker 1: out East, with with the Mets and the Phillies and
Speaker 1: h you know that group out there in the Braves.
Speaker 1: But but I'm not sure if any of those teams
Speaker 1: would say, with the exception of the Mets because they
Speaker 1: just tried to sign Korea, maybe that would be a
Speaker 1: spot for Manny. But to me, he is exactly taking
Speaker 1: the right approach. He believes he can reset the market,
Speaker 1: and I think he probably will jp to that. Let's
Speaker 1: pivot back to Anaheim and the Otani situation. Obviously, Jason
Speaker 1: trying to bogard everything in the sporting universe. Derek Carr
Speaker 1: is going to be a first ballot Hall of Famer
Speaker 1: and Joehi. Otani is inevitably going to be a met
Speaker 1: that's what he's trying to do. So we'll get Xander
Speaker 1: Bogart's too. You just said every one we can have
Speaker 1: him at So with Otani, you know, Artie Moreno did
Speaker 1: the exploratory services and looked out at the sale and all,
Speaker 1: and now he's back. And does it change the calculus
Speaker 1: of how this approaches or do they need to put
Speaker 1: results on the field to convince Otani and his agent
Speaker 1: that they want to stay there. It's the latter that
Speaker 1: there is no team in baseball with more pressure on
Speaker 1: it to win in the first half than the Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Angels. They need to have a strong first half
Speaker 1: to even justify keeping Otani past the trade deadline, let
Speaker 1: alone signing him to a long term deal. If they
Speaker 1: are five hundred or below around the middle part of
Speaker 1: the year, it's going to be a real challenge for
Speaker 1: them to justify taking this all the way to the
Speaker 1: off season and taking their chances to sign Otani then,
Speaker 1: when they would have never been able to demonstrate on
Speaker 1: a consistent basis their ability to win as on a
Speaker 1: postseason level at least, And when you think about Otani.
Speaker 1: At the end of the year, he's going to be
Speaker 1: able to take his pick of wherever he wants to play,
Speaker 1: whatever large market team, whatever competitive team, whatever World Series
Speaker 1: team he wants to play for. Everybody in the world
Speaker 1: will make room for him, because let's think about the
Speaker 1: positions that he plays, d and starting pitcher. No one
Speaker 1: has five starters better than him, and no one has
Speaker 1: a DH who's better than what he can do on
Speaker 1: the offensive side. So he is a fit for everyone
Speaker 1: in a way that Machado may not be with certain
Speaker 1: teams that already have a third basement in place or
Speaker 1: a depth of infielders. There's no such thing as a
Speaker 1: depth of starters like Otani. No one has that. Zero
Speaker 1: teams have that, so everybody wants them. And he will
Speaker 1: look at the situation with the Angels. If you if
Speaker 1: you assume and sort of follow along with this, this
Speaker 1: scenario in which they're not competitive, why would he resign.
Speaker 1: He can take his pick and sign for half a
Speaker 1: billion dollars anywhere that he wants to go, And so
Speaker 1: the Angels face extraordinary pressure to show him in the
Speaker 1: early stage of the season that they can find a
Speaker 1: way to compete. Maybe maybe he still resigns with them.
Speaker 1: But the only way that I see him resigning with
Speaker 1: the Angels is if he believes that that that that
Speaker 1: is one of the top five teams in the sport
Speaker 1: entering next season. Because I do believe he wants to win,
Speaker 1: and he's going to have so many high offers he
Speaker 1: doesn't have to sign anywhere but a team that has
Speaker 1: a legitimate chance to win the World Series in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four see JP. I don't know that it's it's
Speaker 1: a matter of if with Otani, but it's just when,
Speaker 1: because when you're talking about free agency and wanting to
Speaker 1: get there, he knows that. Listen, the Angels will try
Speaker 1: to will give you as much money as you want, right,
Speaker 1: we want you to stay. You're our star. When you're
Speaker 1: talking about free agency the way they hey, he's earned that, right,
Speaker 1: They've already basically said, listen, we're going It's just a
Speaker 1: matter of if the Angels are competitive. Maybe they keep
Speaker 1: him past the deadline. Right, Maybe they keep past the
Speaker 1: deadline and then he leaves in the offseason, and if not,
Speaker 1: they'll trade him by the deadline just to make sure
Speaker 1: they get something for him. So I'll look at it
Speaker 1: as if I think it's just win. It's either at
Speaker 1: the deadline, or it's or it's a little bit less
Speaker 1: than than five seconds after the season ends, where teams
Speaker 1: start getting ready and getting ready to clear the decks
Speaker 1: for Otani. Right well, and I think too, I'll say
Speaker 1: this like he might he there's probably a scenario, and
Speaker 1: I want to respect the Angels here, there's probably a
Speaker 1: scenario where he would get the free agency and ultimately
Speaker 1: stay with the Angels if by then they have the
Speaker 1: high offer, and if by then they've proven him that
Speaker 1: they can win. Those are two pretty significant ifs, But
Speaker 1: that's within the realm of possibility. Now that he's this
Speaker 1: close to agency, I would agree with you that I
Speaker 1: see no scenario in which on some random day in
Speaker 1: June we all wake up to the news that Otani
Speaker 1: has signed a ten year, five hundred million dollars extension
Speaker 1: with with the Angels. I just don't think that's going
Speaker 1: to happen. I really don't. Because he's so close to
Speaker 1: the pot of gold this offseason that why not play
Speaker 1: it out now. The one thing that I would say
Speaker 1: that we have to keep in mind, and this is
Speaker 1: I think with fully acknowledging historic level of performance that
Speaker 1: he's had in the last couple of seasons. He's also
Speaker 1: one one muscle strain away from profound uncertainty here, because
Speaker 1: this delicate balance that he has of being an elite
Speaker 1: pitcher an elite hitter lasts only as long as his
Speaker 1: peak health does. And I think we all understand that
Speaker 1: every every elbow and every arm of every pitcher has
Speaker 1: an expiration date, and so this this won't necessarily last forever.
Speaker 1: And I think that's that's kind of the riddle here,
Speaker 1: is to what what they'll do and how they'll manage
Speaker 1: his innings, and how he will manage himself his own workload,
Speaker 1: because he now has to realize that every starts carries
Speaker 1: inherent risk when you're talking about a payday of half
Speaker 1: a billion dollars potentially at the end of the season.
Speaker 1: So this is one of the higher stakes years for
Speaker 1: both player and club that we have ever witnessed in
Speaker 1: the history of Major League Baseball. Just the way you
Speaker 1: lay that all out. I got to get down to
Speaker 1: Anaheim a couple of times to make sure I get
Speaker 1: my Otani pillows, right shirts and jackets and everything else.
Speaker 1: They're gonna give me right. And that's where I'm a
Speaker 1: big believer guys that in sports, when we're around legitimate
Speaker 1: greatness and people who are doing things that have never
Speaker 1: been done before. Whether it was Aaron Judge last year
Speaker 1: in the home run chase, you know, so many things
Speaker 1: I had to line up for him. Last year he
Speaker 1: sets the American League record in the penultimate day of
Speaker 1: the season. I was fortunate enough to be their cover
Speaker 1: bringer for MLB Network. We got to remember that we're
Speaker 1: watching the greats to ever do it, and and to
Speaker 1: never take it for granted, because this stuff does not
Speaker 1: go on forever. And I do think that why we
Speaker 1: love sports, why we love talking about sports, whatever the
Speaker 1: sport happens to be. You know, don't don't just assume that, oh,
Speaker 1: we'll have fifteen years to be able to watch Mahomes
Speaker 1: do what he does. We all hope that's the case.
Speaker 1: But go on and buy a tick and watch him play.
Speaker 1: And I think that's that's how I look at what
Speaker 1: we're seeing right now with the likes of Judge and Otani. Well,
Speaker 1: let me stay up the five here and take us
Speaker 1: to the fun and exciting world of the the Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Dodgers or I guess I could just take the
Speaker 1: one ten or one of those. But the idea being
Speaker 1: that you've got a lot of change with the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Kershaw is your fixture, but no more, justin turn or
Speaker 1: some of the familiar faces are gone San Diego spending
Speaker 1: an extraordinary amount of money to fight with him. What
Speaker 1: are we expecting here for Dave Roberts squad here? Because
Speaker 1: I don't want, I don't hear the hype and bandwagon
Speaker 1: effect that we have for the last decade. Great question,
Speaker 1: Still an excellent team, and I would say that that
Speaker 1: if it's actually kind of a curious point to me
Speaker 1: if you look at it and say, who is truly
Speaker 1: the favorite to win the National League West in in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, because you could argue that that there
Speaker 1: have been certainly some changes. Yes, with the Dodgers. They've
Speaker 1: lost Trey Turner, which is a huge loss for them.
Speaker 1: They also won the division last year by oh I'm
Speaker 1: checking the math here, twenty two games, okay. By twenty
Speaker 1: two games, okay, that is a lot's a lot of games, okay.
Speaker 1: And so while I agree and acknowledge that the Padres
Speaker 1: plus so the Padres plus Bogarts and plus Tatis whenever
Speaker 1: he comes back, and the Dodgers minus Trey Turner. Okay,
Speaker 1: that that's pretty significant. That closes the gap. But twenty
Speaker 1: two games is a lot of games, and I'll be
Speaker 1: really curious to see how things play out. Of Course,
Speaker 1: the Dodgers still banking on Kershaw giving them maybe one
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy high caliber innings. They don't have Walker Bueller.
Speaker 1: They do have Julio Urias, who now has to be
Speaker 1: I think the Dodgers ace in full. There's there, certainly
Speaker 1: is this shift in the balance of power. But the
Speaker 1: narrative that the Dodgers are all of a sudden this
Speaker 1: you know, this like near retirement age team, I just
Speaker 1: don't buy it. I mean that their farm system is
Speaker 1: too good. They've got some young players that are coming in.
Speaker 1: I think they can really bank on Gavin Wuck's being
Speaker 1: a legitimate front line player. Again, to your point, there's
Speaker 1: no trade Turners, no Justin Turner. It's a it's a
Speaker 1: different era for the Dodgers. They don't have Walker Bueller.
Speaker 1: The number of players on their on their team that
Speaker 1: you see every day and and say, oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: remember when that guy won the World Series with them
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, there aren't as many. In fact, they're
Speaker 1: the Boston Red Sox now include Kenley Jansen, Justin Turner
Speaker 1: and kek Hernandez. It's like the Dodgers alumni team over
Speaker 1: there at Fenway Park. So it's a different team. But
Speaker 1: to me, if if there are fans that are going
Speaker 1: to say, well, it's it's clearly the Padres choice, I
Speaker 1: don't think that that's the case right now. I think
Speaker 1: it's a very very close race between the Dodgers and
Speaker 1: the Padres. And the Dodgers have more young talent than
Speaker 1: you realize, probably, and it's just been that that talent
Speaker 1: has been kept out in Triple A for a couple
Speaker 1: of years, and whether it's Vargas and others, they're now
Speaker 1: ready to come up and make an impact of the
Speaker 1: major league level. He's on Twitter at John Brosi, That
Speaker 1: is at John Morrossi, MLB Network, Fox Sports Radio, Baseball
Speaker 1: Insider Extraordinary. JP is always buddy, Thank you for your time,
Speaker 1: My friend will talk to you soon, my pleasure. I
Speaker 1: fear that I did not mention enough about the Mets
Speaker 1: during the course of this conversation. Jason. I hope we
Speaker 1: can still be friends, and I hope we can still
Speaker 1: talk next week about where things stand. Okay, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: when when the Mets Biotani next week, we'll call you
Speaker 1: right back. We'll get you right. Yeah. Billion dollars can
Speaker 1: put one billion dollars out there, the old cash transaction.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put it past Steve Cohen. I was gonna say, JP,
Speaker 1: don't don't pull that out of the existence. Take it easy, JP.
Speaker 1: It's true though, Now it is listen and and that's
Speaker 1: and that's the big sea change that teams have had
Speaker 1: in the offseason, especially the Dodgers, right because now with
Speaker 1: this the push. Last year, the Mets spent all kinds
Speaker 1: of money and they won, uh you know, they won,
Speaker 1: They got into the playoffs, but they got knocked out.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers, who spent all kinds of money won, they
Speaker 1: get knocked out. And we have two teams in the
Speaker 1: NLCS that didn't even win ninety games, and the Phillies
Speaker 1: and the Padres. For the Dodgers, it's it's more of
Speaker 1: a break that that in in the spending, just like
Speaker 1: a pause, than it is for a lot of other
Speaker 1: teams who are who are gonna say, all right, now,
Speaker 1: we just watched teams spend an inordinate amount of money
Speaker 1: and not make it as far as they should do.
Speaker 1: We need to spend that kind of money or should
Speaker 1: our focus be on let's just be good enough when
Speaker 1: the season starts, and we'll make whatever adjustments we need
Speaker 1: to do during the season or at the deadline. We
Speaker 1: can make a trade for a player Britian. It doesn't
Speaker 1: always need to be a wand pdo type transaction. We're
Speaker 1: bringing in an absolute superstar, but we'll make the necessary
Speaker 1: moves and maybe we'll spend at the deadline to get somebody,
Speaker 1: because that's kind of where the Dodgers are at, right. Look,
Speaker 1: they spend all kinds of money last year, and look
Speaker 1: what happened, right, They won the NLS by twenty two games,
Speaker 1: and they didn't even make the NLCS. So what did
Speaker 1: they do this year? They waved good bye to a
Speaker 1: lot of guys. There was no big splashy signings. It was, hey,
Speaker 1: we feel pretty. They did bring in Noah synder Guard.
Speaker 1: They did bring in four His eighty two mile an
Speaker 1: hour fastball is going to be fantastic at Schevez Ravine,
Speaker 1: I mean throwing it a much harder. So yeah, a
Speaker 1: dazzle and bad. Yeah no, no, listen, what we'll see
Speaker 1: be seeing games Chevez Ravine going wow, I can actually
Speaker 1: see the ball leaving his hand and it's still waiting
Speaker 1: and ball one. So this is where the Dodgers are
Speaker 1: at right now. Okay, we're the players out there to
Speaker 1: go out and get this offseason because that's normally what
Speaker 1: they do. We're gonna push, we're gonna reload, We're gonna
Speaker 1: bring a star in. We're gonna overturn the roster a
Speaker 1: tiny little bit to bring in a couple of big players,
Speaker 1: and we have a couple of young players who want
Speaker 1: to see how they how they respond. Those players weren't
Speaker 1: there they were or they weren't there where they wanted
Speaker 1: to spend money this off seas. They let Trade Turner
Speaker 1: go and now it's what we got holes. Hopefully Gavin
Speaker 1: Lux can fill part of that in the lineup. But
Speaker 1: that's kind of what what the Dodge are doing. It's
Speaker 1: a pause. Okay, maybe after this year, it's we're going
Speaker 1: all in. It's half a billion dollars on show, hey
Speaker 1: Otani for the next ten years, ten years and five
Speaker 1: hundred million whatever it's going to be. But other teams
Speaker 1: are looking at it say, yeah, we're not going to
Speaker 1: spend now, and I don't know when we're gonna spend
Speaker 1: because while because I don't know that it's worth it.
Speaker 1: We just have to get into the playoffs. So we
Speaker 1: just have to be good enough to be able to
Speaker 1: make those moves in the middle of the season that
Speaker 1: don't involve Hey, here's five guys at three hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1: That's why so many teams hate what Steve Cohen's doing
Speaker 1: because it goes against the way they want to go
Speaker 1: with base fall. We don't have that kind of money,
Speaker 1: so okay, if it comes back to the pack a
Speaker 1: little bit for us, that's great. And that's why going
Speaker 1: with the the outliers saying I'll spend all this money,
Speaker 1: I'll spend all this cash. People are going insane about it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is a little bit just about the Mets in general.
Speaker 1: I mean, and you getting all chesty on the airways,
Speaker 1: so there'll be a lot of hate watching from the
Speaker 1: West Coast as what they've done. But yeah, it does
Speaker 1: change the paradigm. It does change how you go about business. Right,
Speaker 1: we talked about it in the NBA when Mark Human
Speaker 1: came in and started refurbishing all of the amenities, you know,
Speaker 1: to account for the fact that guys were running around
Speaker 1: at six ten and seven feet. Hey you need bigger chairs.
Speaker 1: You're not five five, right, all of those kind of
Speaker 1: things that it just changes the way you have to
Speaker 1: do business and for ownership in any sport as soon
Speaker 1: as someone changes it, particularly when the wallet is open.
Speaker 1: That's the worst thing in the world, because how many
Speaker 1: of them claim they lose money every year? I got
Speaker 1: no money. I got no money. Look at my nightmare.
Speaker 1: Here come my pockets are open. Look I got no money,
Speaker 1: all right, But the Mets and the Dodgers are their
Speaker 1: worst nightmare because the Dodgers can decide to be in
Speaker 1: at any time, and clearly Cohen is saying I'm open
Speaker 1: for business. Twenty four seven, Twitter at ou about a Fresca, Mike,

Speaker 1: at regular shelf price. Dollar Shave Club is available at
Speaker 1: a store near you. In the men's razorile. That's it,
Speaker 1: that's the ad. There's a lot of quarterback craziness going on.
Speaker 1: In a few minutes, we'll we'll get well, well, we'll
Speaker 1: go into the darkness to try to find Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: But something really crazy has been going on the last
Speaker 1: couple of days in Dallas. And I'm telling you this.
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are getting set to Jordan Love Dak Prescott,
Speaker 1: and Dak is in a prove it year or they're
Speaker 1: gonna move on from him. Right, the last two days,
Speaker 1: what have you seen? Cowboys have been linked to CJ.
Speaker 1: Stroud and Hendon Hooker. Right, They've been intrigued by c J. Strout.
Speaker 1: They spend a lot of time talking to Hendon Hooker
Speaker 1: in the draft process. Now does this mean they're going
Speaker 1: to get both of these quarterbacks. CJ. Strout probably not.
Speaker 1: I mean the guy's going number two overall. The Cowboys
Speaker 1: aren't going to spend all they need to in draft
Speaker 1: capital get all the way up to number two to
Speaker 1: get CJ. Strout Hendon Hooker a little bit more possibility.
Speaker 1: This is a guy that could have been a Heisman
Speaker 1: Trophy winner last year if he didn't get hurt. He's
Speaker 1: coming off the injury. Normally would have been maybe a
Speaker 1: top ten, top twelve pick. But because of that, maybe
Speaker 1: he's end of the first round, early part of the
Speaker 1: second round guy. But it doesn't matter two days, two stories,
Speaker 1: this early in the off season. This is a message
Speaker 1: to Dak Prescott. Whatever love that the Cowboys had for him,
Speaker 1: that was really just not borne by anything more than
Speaker 1: we drafted Dax. So we want to give him money. Right,
Speaker 1: They've always valued Dak Prescott way more than any other team.
Speaker 1: That's because that's what Jerry Jones does. Look, I found
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. I want to pay him money. It's so backwards,
Speaker 1: but that's what they do. Whatever whatever goodwill they had
Speaker 1: in that unadulterated love love love friend, that's gone after
Speaker 1: the playoff game. After the playoff game and Dax turnovers,
Speaker 1: there was a change. Now it's okay, you know what,
Speaker 1: DA's got to prove it or we're moving on. And
Speaker 1: it's not going to be this year because he's got
Speaker 1: an insane dead cat pit. He does have a no
Speaker 1: trade clause, but no trade clauses don't mean anything. If
Speaker 1: a team wants to move you, you don't want to
Speaker 1: play for a team that doesn't want you, So you know,
Speaker 1: trade clause now, you'll wave it to go to a
Speaker 1: certain team. So that doesn't matter. But in an era
Speaker 1: when where we're talking about Aaron Rodgers getting traded with
Speaker 1: a big dead cap hit, certainly you can make the
Speaker 1: maneuvers needed if you want to trade Dak Prescott. And
Speaker 1: this is what the Cowboys are doing. They're gonna Jordan
Speaker 1: love him in the offseason. They're gonna bring in a
Speaker 1: quarterback somewhat early in the draft. That's a message saying, okay,
Speaker 1: it's put up or shot up for you this year.
Speaker 1: And if we get the put up by Dak Prescott,
Speaker 1: then the Cowboys pat themselves on the back and go, hey,
Speaker 1: the Packer strategy worked right, because hey, they drafted Jordan
Speaker 1: Love Aaron Rodgers won two NFL MVPs. If that's the
Speaker 1: way it works, and Dak steps up, awesome, he's hit
Speaker 1: that next level. But now a little bit of pressure
Speaker 1: on him is where they're going, and if he doesn't
Speaker 1: come through, it's gonna be we're gonna look for a
Speaker 1: new quarterback. The money we're paying Dak Prescott is not
Speaker 1: worth what we're getting. We like Hendon Hooker, we like
Speaker 1: whoever wind up getting in the draft, and there will
Speaker 1: be a market for Dak Prescott. Someone will want him
Speaker 1: and think, Okay, he's a better version of Derek Carr,
Speaker 1: and Car's gonna go someplace and get paid this offseason.
Speaker 1: So it all works. The Cowboys are gonna wind up
Speaker 1: Jordan loving him in the offseason, and he's got this
Speaker 1: year to prove it or next year it's gonna be
Speaker 1: we're moving on. Yeah. I mean, we've certainly seen a
Speaker 1: little bit of a change in stance Jerry Jones publicly
Speaker 1: of how much support Dad gets. Because remember one of
Speaker 1: the big criticisms of Jerry over these last couple of
Speaker 1: decades and notice I say decades, uh, is that he
Speaker 1: does tend to let things Linger, even if it doesn't
Speaker 1: seem to be going from B to C right A
Speaker 1: to B has been great. All right. This guy's got
Speaker 1: us on a roll, and then you stay there. We
Speaker 1: watched it with with Jason Garrett. We watched it with
Speaker 1: Tony Romo the player, not Tony Romo the broadcaster, because
Speaker 1: I mean, now we're talking about a regression, uh, and
Speaker 1: a lot of looking to Jim Nance for guidance. Chip Chim,
Speaker 1: Chip Chip Chip Chip Chimp. Chim, Hey, chip Chip, See
Speaker 1: what's happen? Chimp, you see what's going on? Chimp? Chip Chim, Chimp,
Speaker 1: chip chip. I miss I miss Tony Romo. Yeah, how
Speaker 1: quickly that happened? I mean, and he the Pebble Beach
Speaker 1: pro am and played all that fun stuff. And yet, Jim,
Speaker 1: did you see that shot I made? Jim, Jim, Jim,
Speaker 1: the shot was huge, Jim and I just made caddyshat commercials.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you had a little bit of him there.
Speaker 1: But Jones saying that he's committed to drafting a quarterback.
Speaker 1: And look, one thing that we've been consistent on. You
Speaker 1: always had your theory of a fourth fifty six, seventh round.
Speaker 1: I'm just drafting quarterbacks and you can have an open competition.
Speaker 1: I mean, isn't that the best idea to fight it
Speaker 1: out rounds fourth through seven, drafting a quarterback in every
Speaker 1: round and bringing him in every year you get drafting
Speaker 1: four quarterbacks every ye mean, it's a it's a it's
Speaker 1: it's a great idea. I should be a GM. But
Speaker 1: just for me, it's always been a question of we
Speaker 1: play the waiting game with veteran quarterbacks and then there's
Speaker 1: never a succession plan or you abandon it. You know,
Speaker 1: Brady Garoppolo, which was fine, right, it worked, and then
Speaker 1: he Brady leaves and then you have to go to
Speaker 1: Plan C maybe which includes bringing Garoppolo back. It's some point,
Speaker 1: but you look at what the Steelers did with Roethlisberger.
Speaker 1: There was nobody in waiting. Yeah, they drafted guys, but
Speaker 1: they didn't draft a guy. With the Chargers, you had
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers and until he started throwing under arm, there
Speaker 1: really was no succession plan there, right, I mean, but
Speaker 1: it lingered into your fourteen fifteen sixty And I said
Speaker 1: with the Packers at the time, and I stand by it,
Speaker 1: when they drafted Jordan Love as much as everybody hated
Speaker 1: it with Aaron Rodgers when he got hurt. They had
Speaker 1: a really good team and that season went to hell quickly.
Speaker 1: You can't let that happen. Your windows are too small. Likewise,
Speaker 1: here with Dallas, they've got other things they need to address.
Speaker 1: You need to re up some of the defense. You've
Speaker 1: got to go and shore up that receiving corps. You
Speaker 1: see a lot of trade whispers for guys, including one
Speaker 1: with the surname of Digs, which is interesting. But you
Speaker 1: need to have another plan at quarterback and be ready
Speaker 1: if this doesn't work. Not to mention if you can
Speaker 1: get out from under that for him in his cap
Speaker 1: number and start spreading money around again. Yeah, Dak's a
Speaker 1: guy twenty three and fifteen ain't getting it done, no,
Speaker 1: he Look, he's been overvalued for and that's Dallas's fault.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's their own it's their own fault, right
Speaker 1: because everybody, Hey, you know, Dak is just kind of okay.
Speaker 1: He's had he had a couple of really good years,
Speaker 1: but he kind of is comparable to Derek Carr with
Speaker 1: what he's done a couple of really good years and
Speaker 1: everything else has been just kind of average and maybe
Speaker 1: a little bit above and they finally have seen that man.
Speaker 1: He really held us back. The loss in the playoffs
Speaker 1: changed everything for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys in the
Speaker 1: direction of the organization. Now we're putting pressure on. We've
Speaker 1: given him the gig and told him it's yours as yours.
Speaker 1: We love you. We haven't seen anything, so now it's
Speaker 1: time to put pressure on. You would see if you
Speaker 1: respond that way, that's what the Cowboys are doing. And
Speaker 1: I completely get it. You have you got to do
Speaker 1: something right. I mean, it's nothing's gonna happen this year,
Speaker 1: but this is like the clock is now ticking for
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. And if in a year from now, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be Hey, would you trade for Dak all the time?
Speaker 1: Because every day, would you trade for Dak Prescott? It
Speaker 1: is money worth a Dak? Would you want that? Do
Speaker 1: you want that? That's the way it's gonna be. Twitter
Speaker 1: And how about a Fresca Mike has swollen dome. Coming
Speaker 1: up next, we go into the darkness and find out
Speaker 1: when we're gonna find out about Aaron Rodgers, Fox
