Speaker 2: Tire rack dot com the way tire buying should be. So,

17
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: there is a report out that came out last night,

18
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: probably late last night for some of you if you

19
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: were sleeping or you went on a bender for Happy

20
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: Hour on Friday and may have missed this report. But

21
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 2: this report is out. According to Doug Robinson of the

22
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 2: Desert News based out of Utah that the Jets told

23
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: Zack Wilson that they were going to trade him after

24
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 2: the season. So now this was after the initial benching. Apparently,

25
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 2: according to this report, that Zack Wilson was told after

26
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: having a conversation with Robert Sala that they that they

27
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: were going to move on. So it was I guess

28
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 2: you better way to put it. They mutually agreed to

29
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: part ways, all right, So then it kind of starts

30
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 2: to make a little bit more sense. Why there was

31
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 2: a report out there that Zack Wilson was hesitant to

32
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: return and that Aaron Rodgers had to talk to him

33
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: and then had to talk to him again. The whole

34
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 2: thing was madness. The whole thing was chaos. Robert Sala

35
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: had to explain why Tim Boyle was named the starter.

36
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: He was told that he was the best, you know,

37
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: option to win games for the Jets, and then he

38
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: was then released after starting a couple of games. But

39
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: then Robert Salaz said that Zach Wilson gave them the

40
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 2: best chance to win. But what happened two weeks ago

41
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 2: when you made the move to demote him all the

42
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 2: way to third string. The whole thing is chaos, and

43
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: the whole thing is craziness. But I'm noticing a theme here,

44
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: you know, kind of like a common theme here. And

45
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: I started to think back to like some moments and

46
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 2: some things that have happened in the NFL over the

47
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 2: past several years. You know, like a like a lot

48
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: of losses, you know, like finishing last in your division

49
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 2: like seven of the last eight years or something like that,

50
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 2: kind of crazy, kind of bad, a lot of head

51
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: coaching turnover, a lot of highly drafted quarterbacks. It just

52
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 2: didn't really pan out, you know, Like I mean highly drafted,

53
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: highly thought of quarterbacks. Like moments like you know, your

54
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: run of the mill foot fetishes that went public, or

55
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: you know, butt fumbles that everybody wanted to poke fun at,

56
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 2: the fail Mary, which was a hail Mary that turned

57
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: into a pick six on Black Friday. Like there's just

58
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 2: like there's a common theme here that I'm noticing throughout

59
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: all this stuff. You know what that common theme is.

60
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: It's the damn New York Jets. That's what the common

61
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: theme is here. Okay, I mean you're talking about the

62
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: gift that keeps on given. This is tremendous, Like the

63
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: idea that people were piling on Zach Wilson, like, oh

64
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: my god, Zach. Hey, let me tell you something, Zach Wilson,

65
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: he should be benched. The Jets have to move on. Well,

66
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter who the other quarterbacks are on the roster.

67
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 2: You gotta get somebody else in there, not name Zach Wilson.

68
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: I saw all of that stuff. Some of you were

69
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: guilty of that stuff, and then upon further review, when

70
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: you actually to actually take a step back, you go,

71
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: oh god, Zach Wilson's not the problem. It's the damn Jets.

72
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: It's like it's like nobody can figure out why your

73
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: buddy wants to break up with that rocket ship he's dating.

74
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: It's like, dude, are you serious? Like look at that?

75
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: You're gonna give up on that? I mean, she's cool,

76
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: everything's fun, like it's I mean, it's a great time.

77
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: Like what are you doing? I mean, just one of

78
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: the guys will have a beer watch, they get what

79
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 2: are you doing? And then you find out he woke

80
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: up one night because he left the toilet set up

81
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: and she had a revolver in his face. Oh so

82
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: that's why good who knew? Well? I did, That's why

83
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: I wanted out, Like, dude, he can sit here and

84
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 2: try and look at Zach Wilson and his struggles at quarterback,

85
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 2: and we could play that game all we want. The

86
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 2: fact of the matter is there is a common theme

87
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: here throughout all of this, and it's the Jets. When

88
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers made the comments earlier this week when he

89
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 2: talked about the leaks, and look, we can sit here

90
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: and try and debate over whether or not Diana Rossini's

91
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 2: report about Rogers having to talk to Zach Wilson or

92
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 2: the fact that Zack Wilson didn't want to come back

93
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: and play like, we can argue about who was right,

94
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 2: who was wrong, whether or not Aaron Rodgers called her

95
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 2: out without having all the information, whatever, We can play

96
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 2: that game all we want. What stood out to me

97
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: was when Aaron Rodgers basically called out the leaks, called

98
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 2: it chicken bleep, like, yeah, we got to fix that,

99
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: because I think Aaron Rodgers is in the midst of

100
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 2: this whole thing and he's looking around going, my god,

101
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: what is wrong with you guys? Why is this always

102
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: a problem? Why is this an issue? Why do we

103
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: have this? Why are people talking to reporters and telling

104
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 2: them things. Why we've got problems here that we've got

105
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 2: to fix and they're not getting fixed, Like there's been

106
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: so many issues in New York. Like what if I

107
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 2: told them just a total hypothetical, let's play a match

108
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 2: game here. I don't know if there's a match game,

109
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 2: if we have any match game music, but let's go

110
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 2: ahead and play match game here with the New York Jets.

111
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 2: A right, one of the great game shows of all time.

112
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: By the way, when I was doing weekend overnights, we

113
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 2: used to do a game called match game after dark,

114
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 2: and some of the content not suitable for a Saturday

115
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 2: morning or into the afternoon here when we're talking about

116
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 2: sports radio and we're talking about people shopping and you're

117
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 2: driving around for the holidays, not suitable. Well, let's play

118
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: a little bit of New York Jets match game here. Okay,

119
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 2: you ready for this?

120
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 3: All right?

121
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 2: Two players engaged in a fistfight in which one player

122
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: broke another player's jaw while members of the blank because

123
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 2: one player was accused of not playing paying another player

124
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 2: back for a plane ticket that was purchased. Yeah, I'm

125
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 2: gonna go with the Jets. That is correct. You have

126
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: won this first edition of the Match Game. Yes, Geno Smith,

127
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: I can, and Paul, I mean, you know, why where

128
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 2: else would that happen other than the Jets? Why not?

129
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: I mean you could go down the list of things

130
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 2: that have popped up in the NFL, goofy stuff, weird

131
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 2: stuff stuff. It all ties back to them. So we

132
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 2: could sit here and we could pile on Zach Wilson

133
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: and talk about how bad he is and oh, Zack

134
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: Wilson's is, never mind the fact that he's playing better

135
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: than he did last year. We get. We could do

136
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: all of that that we want. But when Rogers makes

137
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 2: the comments this week and you see this report from

138
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 2: Doug Robinson and you see all the other smoke that

139
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 2: comes out of that building, like that smoke's been there

140
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 2: way before Zack Wilson got there, way before Rogers got there.

141
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 2: So instead of calling out Zach Wilson, you should be

142
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 2: looking at Zack Wilson going, dude, we get it. Now,

143
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: we understand, now, we get it. It all makes sense.

144
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: Now we know why you wanted to get away from that,

145
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: because the common theme there is not Zack Wilson struggles.

146
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 2: It's the New York Jets. Jonas NX here Fox Sports Radio.

147
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: By the way, speaking of awful, now get I could

148
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: sit here and pile on the n season tournament for

149
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 2: the NBA, all right. You know how I feel about

150
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: this stuff, all right, I think it's a I think

151
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 2: it's a circus, I really do. I think the the

152
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 2: goofy court court painting and what they're playing for the

153
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: fact that we're doing this in the middle of the season,

154
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 2: it's confusing. It's just like the whole thing. But whatever.

155
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 2: So I think they have their in season tournament championship

156
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 2: game coming up later on tonight. I think it's the

157
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 2: Lakers and the Pacers, you know, real barn Burner. By

158
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 2: the way, if you were looking to catch up on

159
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 2: your Christmas shopping, might I recommend right around eight Eastern time,

160
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 2: go ahead, nothing going on, don't worry about it. But

161
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 2: point is, if the NBA had some balls, like if

162
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 2: the NBA had some stones, there's one game to make

163
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: if you want to get people interested. It's not Lebron

164
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 2: James and these Lebron kiss asses who cover the NBA.

165
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 2: All right, it's not. It's not Haliburton for the Pacers.

166
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 2: It's listen, all due respect, let's go ahead and set

167
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: that aside. If you're the NBA and you had a

168
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: pair of nuts, here's the move you make. You set aside,

169
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: adjust your schedule and find a night in which you've

170
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 2: got the most viewers possible, and you put Spurs Pistons

171
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 2: on center stage. Because one team has lost nineteen in

172
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 2: a row and the other has lost sixteen in a row. Okay,

173
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 2: so something's gotta give. And you might think that I'm kidding,

174
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 2: I am not. I would be more interested in watching

175
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 2: that game than I would be this in season gimmick,

176
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 2: because it is astonishing that two teams, especially one of

177
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 2: which just drafted a unicorn, Like, does san Antonio realize

178
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: they already have wembin Yama? Did they really? Like are

179
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 2: they aware that? Like, hey guys, you already got him,

180
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,599
Speaker 2: Like you don't need to, Like we can kill the

181
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: charade here, you already got him, Like are they aware that?

182
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 2: But instead, both teams have rolled out a bag of

183
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 2: crap nineteen times in a row and sixteen times in

184
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 2: a row. So while the rest of you are sitting

185
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 2: here wanting to celebrate this clown show, this gimmick, wringling

186
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 2: Brothers with a goofy Court and Adam Silver juggling bowling

187
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 2: pins and making weird remarks about you know, all the

188
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 2: stuff he did earlier this week, you know, and everybody celebrating.

189
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 2: You've got like two broadcast teams who are being featured.

190
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: I mean, they're pulling out all the stops to get

191
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: people to care about the NBA before Christmas. While you're

192
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: sitting here focusing on that. I got bigger priorities. I

193
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 2: want to figure out who wants to win between a

194
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: team that's lost nineteen in a row and a team

195
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 2: that's lost sixteen in a row. You want to peauk

196
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 2: my interest, all right? You want to get me fired

197
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 2: up for something. It's like bum fights. Remember the old

198
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: videos that were out there. This is way but back

199
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 2: way back before you guys maybe were before TikTok and

200
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 2: all that stuff. There was this thing called bum fights

201
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 2: where people would go around and they would film homeless

202
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 2: people just throwing down and they were good fights. Guy

203
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 2: puts down his shopping cart, puts down like his you know,

204
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 2: he's got a tent with him. He's got like a

205
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: Coleman tent. Puts it down, and they start throwing heaters

206
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 2: in the middle of the street. They could be arguing

207
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 2: over a cardboard box the spoon that was used to

208
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 2: cook their meth two weeks ago, Like it didn't matter.

209
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 2: They would just throw down like this is the NBA's

210
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 2: equivalent to bum fights. So if you want to get

211
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 2: people interested like myself, I would recommend you carve out

212
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 2: a couple a night or two, move some games around,

213
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: figure it out. You got a whole season to play

214
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 2: with and throw on Pistons, Spurs, losers of nineteen in

215
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 2: a row and losers of sixteen in a row and

216
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 2: make everybody happy. Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio, get

00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 2: of you out there are just way too negative here

268
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: in the world of sports radio. There's been there's some

269
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: people chiming in that are unhappy with my opinions on

270
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: the NBA and season tournament, tough balls. There's plenty more

271
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 2: to come. Actually know there's not I want to make

272
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 2: sure you stick around, so we will not be talking

273
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 2: about the NBA further on this show. But point is,

274
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 2: if you want to stick around, at about ten minutes

275
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 2: from now, we are going to hand out an award

276
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 2: here on the show. We do it every week, so

277
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 2: we figure, why not just continue with the tread Let's

278
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 2: make it happen. That's happening here on Fox Sports Radio.

279
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 2: So there's something that happened in the world of sports

280
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 2: yesterday that look part of me. I feel bad for

281
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 2: the people involved. I feel for it, and I feel

282
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 2: for them because the person at the center of all

283
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 2: this I happen to know and like. But I'll just

284
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 2: ask this hypothetical question, all right. I just want to

285
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 2: ask this hypothetical question. And I feel like if you're

286
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 2: listening to this show, and I feel like if you're

287
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: married or in a relationship, you will be able to

288
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 2: answer this and you will be able to understand this

289
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 2: at your core one going to hit all right, So

290
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 2: let me ask you this hypothetical question. Have you ever

291
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 2: felt like the only time you get feedback is when

292
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 2: you do something wrong. It's never when you do it right.

293
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 2: It's never when you get something correct. It's never when

294
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 2: you do things and you do a good job at it.

295
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 2: It seems like the only time you ever get any

296
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 2: sort of feedback or any sort of reaction or reply

297
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 2: or is when you do something wrong. All right, If

298
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 2: that's you, then now maybe you kind of have an

299
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 2: idea as to what it's like to be a quote

300
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: unquote insider covering the world of sports. Because I'm looking

301
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: at all the blowback that my guy John Palm Morosi

302
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 2: speaking of Italia, my guy John Palm Morosi, who has

303
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 2: come on this network and done an interview in full

304
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 2: blown Italian. It's amazing. Guy's awesome, love JP. But he

305
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 2: had some information on Sho Hao Tani yesterday and he

306
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 2: threw it out and then Bob Nightingale replied back, and

307
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 2: you know, he's I'll just be honest, he's a little

308
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 2: bit of a weirdo anyways. But point is, he writes

309
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 2: back and he's, oh, he's conflicting reports and they're going

310
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 2: back and forth and all that stuff. And I'm just

311
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 2: like seeing all the people piling on Morosi and all that.

312
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 2: And look, he admitted he got it wrong, he made

313
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 2: a mistake. He owned it, and you know it happens.

314
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 2: But it's like that job, the job of being a

315
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 2: reporter slash insider who's trusting people that are giving you

316
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 2: information and going public with it, which is ballsy and bold.

317
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 2: That job of a reporter and an insider is one

318
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 2: of the most thankless jobs there is in sports because

319
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 2: most of the time the information is accurate. Most of

320
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 2: the time they get it right, or they they've at

321
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 2: least got good information that they're going with. But there

322
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 2: are times where you're given a bag of crap and

323
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 2: maybe you rolled it because you trust somebody, and then

324
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 2: you look like the fool in a lot of people's minds.

325
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 2: Totally thankless job, and it was on full display yesterday

326
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 2: and I'm looking around going hold on a second, like why,

327
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 2: why is is Morosi the one to blame if he

328
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 2: got some bad intel or bad information, Like yeah, okay,

329
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 2: well you got to fact check it and double source it.

330
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 2: Like I can assure you he's not around in the

331
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 2: business for as long as he is without dotting the

332
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 2: i's and crossing the t's on the stuff that he gets.

333
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 2: But it's just it's a microcosm of a bunch of

334
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 2: other things that are going on, like when and I've

335
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 2: talked to somebody and I don't want to I don't

336
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 2: want to name who this was because I don't want

337
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 2: to give it out there and all that. But I

338
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 2: remember talking to somebody who's a well known insider slash analysts,

339
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 2: slash host, I mean, has done TV radio, has written

340
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 2: you name it, great credentials, has worked everywhere every big network,

341
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 2: has worked at and is still currently working at. And

342
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 2: I remember having a conversation with him and just saying like, hey, like,

343
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 2: how much of a pain in the ass is it

344
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 2: to be an insider? And he said, oh, that's why

345
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 2: I stopped doing it, Like I wanted to focus more

346
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 2: on just, you know, being an analyst as opposed to

347
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 2: being an insider, because you'll double source things, you'll fact

348
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 2: check things to your understanding, and you'll go with stories.

349
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 2: And then when you get it wrong because somebody gave

350
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 2: you bad information or bad intel, and you come back

351
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 2: to him like, hey, why did you tell me? When

352
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 2: it's like, well, listen, you know they part of the game,

353
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 2: but yet they're the ones that have to get all

354
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 2: the blowback. It's like when you order something at a restaurant,

355
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 2: and the waiter or waitress brings it out and it's

356
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 2: not what you ordered, or it's not cook the way

357
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 2: you wanted it. It's the waiter or the waitress who's

358
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 2: got to wear it, not really the cook in the

359
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 2: back who didn't read the ticket right, Like the waiter

360
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 2: or the waitress, like they're not in control of that.

361
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 2: They've got fifteen other tables. They're busting their ass. It's

362
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 2: in the middle of a rush and they're bringing stuff out.

363
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 2: It's like, well, look, I wanted medium rare. This is

364
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 2: just rare. Okay, Well what did you want me to do?

365
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 2: Cut it in half, take a bite out of it,

366
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 2: and say no, can you guys put this back on

367
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 2: the grill for another five minutes? Like I mean, what

368
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 2: do you? But it's like they're the ones that catch

369
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 2: all the heat when it's the people behind the scenes

370
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 2: or the people in the background who who did a

371
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 2: poor job. It's like John Palmerosis sitting there having to

372
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 2: wear it when it's okay, the guy made a mistake, yes,

373
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 2: and he probably got some bad information or some bad intel,

374
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 2: But the idea that all of a sudden, oh, people

375
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 2: got to pile on and know he got it wrong,

376
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 2: and it'll be if I'm not mistaken. There's been other

377
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 2: reports and other like. Wasn't there like a rumor out

378
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 2: there that Aaron Judge was gonna sign with the Giants

379
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 2: and all like this stuff happens. You get bad information

380
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 2: and bad intel. It's why, man, I would never want

381
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 2: to be an insider. You know, another job I would

382
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 2: never want to do. I'd never want to be a

383
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 2: professional sports better or handicapper. That is a ballsy gig

384
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 2: because you could get and if you talk to professional

385
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 2: sports betters, they'll tell you, like, successful professional sports betters

386
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 2: fifty five fifty six percent of their picks are right.

387
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 2: Like if you if you can get fifty five to

388
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 2: fifty six percent of your picks right, then you're making

389
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 2: money and you're successful. But the ones you hear about

390
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 2: most are all the ones you get wrong. And it's

391
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 2: like you come home, you clean the entire house, you

392
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 2: did all the shopping, you did the groceries, this and that,

393
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 2: and it's like, hey, what about the laundry. You didn't

394
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 2: put it in the dryer long enough. Oh, sorry about that.

395
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 2: I was too busy painting the house and getting everything ready.

396
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 2: I apologize. Let me go ahead and get on that though.

397
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 2: Literally look past everything else you did, look past all

398
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 2: of it, and just focus on the stuff you did wrong.

399
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 2: So when I see the stuff that took place yesterday

400
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 2: with Morosi, it's like, look, yes, I like the guy,

401
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 2: he's awesome. But also, this is just how that gig works.

402
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 2: It's like being a professional sports better and it's like

403
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 2: doing everything right except for that one little thing. But

404
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 2: the only thing you hear about is the one you

405
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 2: didn't do right or you got wrong. And so ease

406
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 2: up a little bit. It Otani's gonna sign with whoever

407
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 2: Otani signs with, and after that we can all sit

408
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 2: here and talk about all the teams that whift and

409
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 2: all the other bogus reports that were out there not

410
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 2: tied to the one that came out yesterday. Then we

411
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 2: can have a fun game when it comes to that.

412
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,560

00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 2: award here on the show. It is our TGFG game

418
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 2: of the week in the NFL, it's yours next year.

419
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 2: But for all the latest from around the world of sports,

420
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 2: it's NICKO. What's up?

421
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 6: Jonas it was? It was actually Arson Judged to the Giants.

422
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 6: That was the famous tweet last year John Hayman Arson

423
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 6: Judge a great typo.

424
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 2: Well, I mean listen, just based on the typo exonerated

425
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 2: on all exactly.

426
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, he never said Aaron Judge was going to the Giants.

427
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 6: He said our site. Look, so yeah, we can throw that.

428
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 2: That is thrown out in courtmediately, all right, so we

429
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 2: don't have the actual proof of that. By the way,

430
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 2: are you watching the game in South Dakota? Yes, I am.

431
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 6: You know, I was probably gonna bring that up because

432
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 6: this game is just hilarious. Where if I granted South

433
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 6: Dakota did just score going into the wind, but up

434
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 6: until this point, you've wanted to be with the win

435
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 6: this entire time or else you can't do anything but

436
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 6: the jack Rabbits are take it over.

437
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,719
Speaker 2: Because I was looking at the weather report because I'm

438
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 2: a weather nerd. For anybody that knows, I liked to

439
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 2: and I'm such a loser that I'll go zip code specific.

440
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 2: So I actually looked up the weather report because I

441
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 2: wanted to see, all right, so what are we looking

442
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: at here when it comes to this game? And it's

443
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 2: what it was like twenty seven degrees with thirty mile

444
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 2: an hour wins. And if I'm not mistaken, I think

445
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 2: I think the South Dakota. No, it might have been

446
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 2: the Villanova players. We're going into a heated like a

447
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 2: room like they had like a heated room near the sideline,

448
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 2: almost like like I don't what do they call those?

449
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 2: Like a portable classroom they brought over to the sideline

450
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 2: that they were going in to try and stay in

451
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 2: between possessions when they were on the field.

452
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're gonna have a tough time winning on the

453
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 6: road when you have to do that.

454
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. But it's look, I love anything poor

455
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 2: weather football. Sign me up. Yes, A, we don't have

456
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 2: to be in it. And B it's entertaining as hell.

457
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 6: I mean I love watching twenty yard punts, you know,

458
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 6: just into the wind, just going nowhere, great.

459
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 2: Man, like they were showing in pregame warmups. The guy

460
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 2: was attempting a field goal and the wind blew it

461
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 2: back and he missed. It was almost like a chip shot,

462
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 2: but the wind caught it and knocked it down like

463
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 2: three yards before it was going to be successful. So

464
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 2: this has been a fun watch here and these fans

465
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 2: you talk about balls. Good god.

466
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 6: There were some kids that were shirtless, they were hatless,

467
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 6: even they didn't even have a beanie or anything to

468
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 6: protect the head. They're crazy, man.

469
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:52,440

478
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 6: the Bengals were hiding something with Joe Burrow. You know

479
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 6: that that whole thing didn't smell right to a lot

480
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 6: of people. Well, reports now coming out that the NFL

481
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 6: investigated and they found that Cincinnati was in full compliance

482
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 6: with the league's injury report policy when Burrow suffered that

483
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 6: season ending wrist injury back in week eleven, so no

Speaker 6: his hit that led to the whole sideline scuffle in

490
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 6: the first place. Stealers linebacker TJ. Watt is in concussion protocol.

491
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:07,080

Speaker 6: in about twelve minutes from now from the tire rack

501
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 6: dot Com studios, we are going to have.

502
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 2: Another edition of Do You Care. We will get into

503
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 2: some of these storylines throughout the world of sports that

504
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 2: have been made a big deal all throughout the course

505
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 2: of the week, and we'll give you some brutally honest

506
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 2: opinions on all of those. Again, that's coming up here

507
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 2: twelve minutes from now here on FSR. Yeah, this is tremendous,

508
00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 2: A tremendous watch between South Dakota State and Villanova. I mean,

509
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 2: nobody wants to be there. I mean, the people in

510
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 2: the people in the stands, there's not a shot in

511
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 2: hell they don't have at least a little bit of

512
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 2: booze running through them. I don't care. If you're somebody

513
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 2: who doesn't drink, you're not doing like a little shot

514
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 2: of fireballs. You walk into the stadium just to try

515
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 2: and numb yourself from this miserable windshield that you've got

516
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 2: to deal with watching South Dakota State and Villanova play

517
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 2: and the fact that they've already scored thirty five points

518
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 2: but between them, I mean, kudos and full credit to

519
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 2: everybody involved. But yeah, this is a got to be

520
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 2: a miserable game to be in attendance for, but it

521
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 2: is fun to see how the wind and weather is

522
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 2: impacting all that. And there's going to be several games

523
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 2: in the NFL that are going to deal with that

524
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 2: this weekend. So it is here. We are almost at

525
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 2: the time for snow Globe football in the National Football League,

526
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 2: So we'll get to watch all that coming up tomorrow

527
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 2: on a busy Sunday in the National Football League. And

528
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 2: right now it is time to hand out and award

529
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 2: here on the show. Speaking of the NFL this weekend,

530
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 2: it is time for the he g FG game of

531
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 2: the week and it goes to Panthers at Saints. Oh,

532
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 2: you better believe it. We've got Carolina at New Orleans.

533
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 2: This is your TGFG game of the week. And you're

534
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 2: probably thinking to yourself, what do you mean, why would

535
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 2: this be the TGFG game of the week. Well, it's

536
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 2: real simple. New Orleans stinks. Can we just say that

537
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 2: they are underwhelming as underwhelming can be. There was a

538
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 2: lot of hype and a lot of positivity coming in,

539
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 2: a lot of feel good about New Orleans going into

540
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 2: the season, and Derek Carr and this offense has been

541
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 2: totally underwhelming the entire year. Carolina speaks for itself, but

542
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 2: in speaking on New Orleans, the fact that Derek Carr

543
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 2: is clear concussion protocol and he'll be back, it just

544
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 2: feels like the season is a bit lost. I know

545
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 2: they're still in contention for the NFC South, but I'm

546
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 2: looking at Carolina and I'm looking at New Orleans. Going

547
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 2: all right, Carolina is pretty much locked up the worst

548
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 2: record in the NFL. New England's win the other night

549
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 2: distance them about going on two games from Carolina. So

550
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 2: if Carolina loses this game, there'll be a two game

551
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 2: gap between the worst team in the NFL and the

552
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 2: second worst team, which means Carolina is going to be

553
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 2: picking number one overall. Scratch that, that'll be Chicago because

554
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 2: Carolina lost that pick in the trade that they made

555
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 2: with the Bears to move up to take Bryce Young.

556
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 2: I feel for Bryce Young. I feel for that team.

557
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 2: They've got an impulsive owner. But if you're New Orleans,

558
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 2: it's been underwhelming. If you're Carolina, it's been more than underwhelming.

559
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 2: And so that right there is the criteria met for

560
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 2: our Week fourteen TGFG Game of the Week, The Thank

561
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 2: God for Gambling Game of the Week goes to the

562
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 2: Panthers at the Saints because of not for gambling. Who's

Speaker 2: is time for some positivity. It is another edition of

571
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 2: Do You Care? A Saturday tradition unlike any other, and

572
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 2: it's yours here on FSR. Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio.

573
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 2: Felice Navidad is right, it's Tamali season. Baby. By the way,

574
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 2: you want to piss off. If you want to piss

575
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 2: off somebody with Mexican heritage, ask them if they can

576
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 2: make you to Molly's in the middle of the year.

577
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 2: You'll be lucky if they don't kick you in the

578
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 2: balls right where you stand. It is a pain in

579
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 2: the ass. Trust me, my wife is Mexican and there's

580
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 2: a reason they only make them once a year. It

581
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 2: takes forever. I watched it from start to finish one year,

582
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 2: and I'm like, now I get it. Now, I know why.

583
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 2: You make all of it at one time, throw it

584
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 2: in the freezer, and then it's done. Then it's over with,

585
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 2: and you never want to be bothered with it again.

586
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: It is a pain in the ass. So God bless

587
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 2: everybody out there who's embarking on that journey, because that

588
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 2: is an all day exercise. They're exhausted afterwards, and then

589
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,680

592
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,040

00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 2: in your face. You're going to get back and return.

598
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:47,800

619
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 2: the air, and I will tweet it out from my

620
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 2: Twitter account as well too at the Jonas Knocks. But

621
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 2: right now, it is time for this.

622
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: There are so many stories in the world of sports,

623
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: and most of them are a complete waste of time.

624
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 2: DMG reports let's get kinky.

625
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,240
Speaker 1: Here's some of the big stories from the last week.

626
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: But Jonas, the real question is do you care?

627
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 2: And for that we turn it over to our executive

628
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 2: producer Bo Benson to find out what the hell's going on.

629
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 2: And Bo, before we get started, I just want to

630
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 2: tell you this right now, all right, you guys need

631
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 2: to get it together back there. Okay, you understand me.

632
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 7: Okay, speaking of getting together, Jonas, you know what I

633
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 7: don't understand. How is it that our man JP Morosi

634
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 7: can get so much vitriol on Twitter and social media

635
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 7: and yet this JP hornstr guy who writes for Dodgers

636
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 7: Nation can post an article saying that Shoeo Tani's going

637
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 7: to the Blue Jays double down on it today and

638
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 7: just people act like, well, that's what's happening, because right

639
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 7: this guy, this, I got this ahead. This is literally

640
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 7: the biggest free agent I think in baseball history. And

641
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 7: you're telling me some guy that writes for Dodgers' Nation

642
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 7: got the story ahead of Jeff Passing or Ken Rosenthal.

643
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 2: It just like that's like the part that bothers me, Like,

644
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 2: and look, yes, I'm a little biased here because I

645
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 2: know John Peah we all are.

646
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 7: I've I've had JP on my show too, like.

647
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 2: He he is a he's a great person, a good dude,

648
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 2: like so talented, and it's like, Okay, the one thing

649
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 2: that maybe he gets some bad intel on it doesn't

650
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 2: mean that he's not going to end up with the

651
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 2: Blue Jays. It's just okay, he wasn't on a flight, really,

652
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 2: and that's what he's got to wear all day and

653
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 2: hear it from a bunch of nobodies who want to

654
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 2: get on him about it. It just that's the part

655
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 2: that kind of bothered me and pissed me off. Yeah,

656
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 2: but again we're biased, Yes, love JP.

657
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 7: Eagles head of security Dom Desandro has been banned from

658
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 7: the sideline for tomorrow night's game following the spat last

659
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 7: week with the forty nine ers Dre greenlaw. Do you

660
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:58,760
Speaker 7: care what this about?

661
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 2: This at all? Not? Not really listen. They had to

662
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 2: do it. I know people in Philadelphia are outraged, like, oh,

663
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 2: if you read further into the report, they even tell you. Look,

664
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 2: they're not banning him from doing all his other duties.

665
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 2: He just can't be on the sideline. They had to

666
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 2: do it, all right, But I think everybody involved intruding

667
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 2: and including dra Greenlaw. I'll admit, listen, it's unfortunate, we spoke,

668
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 2: we apologize. Nothing to see here, but the NFL has

669
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 2: got to set a precedent, so of course they're going

670
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 2: to let everybody know this is not acceptable and we're

671
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 2: going to take him off the sideline moving forward. There's

672
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 2: really it's not that big of a deal, but everybody

673
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 2: in Philadelphia wants to make it seem like it's a

674
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 2: big deal because it's a diversionary tactic, so nobody pays

675
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 2: attention to the fact that they got stopped out last weekend.

676
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 7: Next, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was the guest picker

677
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 7: today for the Army Navy game. Pull the leek corso

678
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 7: putting on the Navy helmet doing his pick, Jonas, do

679
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 7: you care?

680
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 2: Yes? I love it. Good for Bill Belichick. You know what,

681
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 2: he brings out this helmet that looks like he got

682
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 2: it from the night teen twenties, Okay, and he puts

683
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 2: it on and he showed a lot of personality. And

684
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 2: if you've talked to anybody who's played for Belichick, they'll

685
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 2: tell you the guy that you see in interviews at

686
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 2: podiums all, he's not that guy like and so to

687
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,919
Speaker 2: see Belichick sort of, you know, liven up a little

688
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 2: bit and do the thing on TV and put on

689
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 2: the helmet and all that, it was heartwarming for me.

690
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,359
Speaker 2: I love Bill Belichick. I hate that this season's gone

691
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 2: the way that it's gone, but good for Belichick.

692
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 7: Next, ESPN and tn T did a crossover broadcast for

693
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 7: the NBA n Season Tournament semifinals the other day. Do

694
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:36,399
Speaker 7: you care about this at all?

695
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 8: No?

696
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't care. I'm leaving goodbye. Listen, Come on, man,

697
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 2: I love that the TNT shows the best studio show

698
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 2: in the history of sports. I mean, actually, I'm gonna

699
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 2: say it's a tie between that and Big Noon Kickoff.

700
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 2: Go ahead and throw that out there, you know, I

701
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 2: just want to let it great, great show. Listen if

702
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 2: it were you know. Look, I love Big Neon Kickoff.

703
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 2: I'm telling you. I tell people all the time. All right.

704
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 2: I mean, you've got you know, the great Rob Stone,

705
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 2: You've got Matt Liinert, Urban Meyer, mark Ingram, that other

706
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 2: guy that's on there. Like, listen, show, I love a

707
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 2: Big New Kickoff. The NBA on TNT is is fantastic.

708
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 2: I watch. I actually like that show more than most

709
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 2: of the NBA games I see, but it's not going

710
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 2: to make me give a rip about who wins the

711
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 2: s in season tournament.

712
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 7: Next, McDonald's launched a new concept called Cosmics, featuring customizable

713
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 7: drinks and some food atoms. It seems kind of like Starbucks.

714
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 7: You have a truro frappuccino and a s'mores cold brew. Jonas,

715
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 7: do you care at all?

716
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 2: Really? Yeah?

717
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 7: It actually looks disgusting the pictures I saw, Like I

718
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 7: don't know what the point is.

719
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 2: Like what happened to the girl? Yes, Like what happened

720
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 2: to just you know, going in there and ordering what

721
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 2: was on the menu? Like you walk it. I'll say this,

722
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 2: if you want to make a cologne, make whatever the

723
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 2: smell is when you walk in and the fries are

724
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 2: being made, Like I'm telling you, man, that's one of

725
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 2: the great smells of all time. So it does feel

726
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 2: like the beginning of the the end forcefully for somebody

727
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 2: in the National Football League. We will get into who

728
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,440

741
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 2: As Nick Cope mentioned just a couple of moments ago

742
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 2: in our award winning National Update here to start off

743
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 2: our two of the program, the Army Navy game is

744
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 2: about to kick off at Foxborough, and so because it's

745
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 2: at Foxborough, and because he's got naval ties with the

746
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 2: Naval Academy, does Bill Belichick with his dad being an

747
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 2: assistant there for a long time and him being involved.

748
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 2: Belichick was the guest speaker and we talked about this

749
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 2: a few moments ago on the show. So if you

750
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,879
Speaker 2: missed any of that, go check out the podcast, make

751
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 2: sure you follow it. Belichick was the guest picker on

752
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 2: game day because they were live there at Foxborough. And

753
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 2: so you've got Army Navy about to kick off here

754
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 2: for you degenerate flunky gamblers out there, Army's a three

755
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 2: point favorite. Now I would take Navy and the points.

756
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 2: But again, you know, just saying, you know, take that

757
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:32,760
Speaker 2: with a grain of salt, because based on what happened

758
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,919
Speaker 2: in Knox Locks last week, which we'll get into later

759
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 2: on this hour, I've got some i got some work

760
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 2: to do. I'll just put it that way. But point is,

761
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 2: like you're seeing Belichick out there, he puts on the

762
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 2: Navy helmet. You know, he shows a lot of personality

763
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 2: when he's saying and like you've seen this before with Belichick,

764
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 2: and I do think it is It's interesting how the

765
00:41:55,360 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 2: perception and the reality is pretty obvious to me, but

766
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,720
Speaker 2: people still somewhat struggle with it. Like it's pretty obvious

767
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 2: that when it comes to giving away anything about his

768
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 2: team in the moment during the season, postgame, whether it's

769
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 2: before a game during the week, Belichick wants nothing to

770
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 2: do with it. He's just gonna give you the same

771
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 2: canned Bland answers. He's about secrecy, he's about not giving

772
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 2: you any tells, all of that stuff. And then when

773
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 2: you see him as the guest picker, I mean, he

774
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:36,879
Speaker 2: couldn't be more relatable when it came to just self deprecating.

775
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 2: You know, puts on an old school Navy helmet. He's

776
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 2: sitting with Lee Corso talking about his relationship with Corso

777
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 2: and the Naval Academy and all that. Like, you see him,

778
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 2: and then you see him when the NFL Network did

779
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 2: their one hundred years celebration where they basically broke down

780
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 2: the greatest players over one hundred years in the NFL,

781
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 2: Belichick was one of the analysts there and he was awesome.

782
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 2: And you're seeing him talk about Ed Reid and all

783
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 2: the things Ed Reid did. You heard him in it,

784
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,839
Speaker 2: and it just goes to show you that the guy

785
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 2: that you get during the course of the week or

786
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 2: after games and all that that the media gets people

787
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 2: could sit there and poke fun at it and say, well,

788
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 2: he doesn't have a person. No, dude, he's telling you,

789
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 2: I'm not into this, but he loves football. And one

790
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 2: of the things that always stood out to me about Belichick,

791
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 2: which I still think is amazing. If I were to

792
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 2: tell you a Belichick's going to do a national interview,

793
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 2: like I'm not talking about like local Boston where you

794
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 2: guys are getting paid to do those interviews, and they

795
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 2: do him every single week. And so Belichick will go

796
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 2: on either WEEI or the Sports Hub or and he'll

797
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 2: do an interview there. But if I were to tell you, hey,

798
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 2: Belichick's doing an interview this week, or Belichick's doing an

799
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 2: interview on radio today, you would assume it's local Boston radio.

800
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:01,439
Speaker 2: I remember Belichick did an interview a couple of years ago,

801
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 2: and I think it was on a holiday with Andy

802
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 2: Furman and Aaron Torres of Fox Sports Radio. And the

803
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 2: reason he did the interview with Andy Furman and Aaron

804
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 2: Torres is because Andy Furman and Bill Belichick have been

805
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:26,720
Speaker 2: pen pals for decades. That's not a joke. They write

806
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 2: each other letters. Andy will because everybody knows Andy's got

807
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 2: an obsession with the mail, like he just the guy

808
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 2: likes to lick stamps. I don't know what to tell you,

809
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 2: like it's just his thing it and I've talked to

810
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,919
Speaker 2: his wife about it. I've talked to like this it's

811
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 2: just and Andy Furman is one of my best friends

812
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 2: in the business. I love him. But he's got this

813
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 2: thing where he he loves to send mail. And so

814
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 2: when you hear this stuff and you hear Belichick talk

815
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 2: the way he talks, like, dude, this is this is

816
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 2: who Belichick is. But the per perception of Belichick as

817
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,879
Speaker 2: this rigid guy who is just sort of sitting there

818
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:09,479
Speaker 2: and doesn't want to give answers, that's all because that's

819
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 2: what he gives the media during the course of the week,

820
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 2: during the course of a season. But when you actually

821
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,720
Speaker 2: take a step back and you see him in other lights,

822
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 2: and you see him do other things, and you see

823
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 2: him talk on these interviews or get engaged with a

824
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 2: firman through a letter or whatnot, that's who the guy

825
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 2: really is. But the perception and the reality are two

826
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 2: different things. Jonas knocks here Fox Sports Radio, and let's

827
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 2: turn it over to Nick Cope because apparently we do

828
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:36,760
Speaker 2: have some breaking news in the world of sports. Breaking

829
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:38,720
Speaker 2: news from Fox Sports.

830
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 6: All right, Jonas sho Heyotani just posted to his Instagram

831
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 6: he is signing with the Dodgers.

832
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 2: Wow, so done deal show, Heyotani is going to be

833
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 2: an La Dodger after.

Speaker 6: All, yep, just posted to his Instagram. I can read

835
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 6: part of it here if you'd like.

836
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 2: Quote.

837
00:45:58,120 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 6: To all the fans and everyone involved in the base

838
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 6: I apologize for taking so long to come to a decision.

839
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,399
Speaker 6: I have decided to choose the Dodgers as my next team.

840
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 6: First of all, I would like to express my sincere

841
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 6: gratitude to everyone involved with the Angels organization and the

842
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 6: fans who have supported me over the past six years,

843
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 6: as well to everyone involved with each team that was

844
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:20,919
Speaker 6: part of this negotiation process, especially to the Angels fans

845
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 6: who supported me through all the ups and downs. Here, guys'

846
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 6: support and cheer meant the world to me. The six

847
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 6: years I spent with the Angels will remain etched in

848
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 6: my heart forever, and to all Dodgers fans, I pledged

849
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 6: to always do what's best for the team and always

850
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,439
Speaker 6: continue to give it my all to be the best

851
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 6: version of myself until the last day of my playing career.

852
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 6: I want to continue to strive forward, not only for

853
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 6: the Dodgers, but for the baseball world. Finally, there are

854
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 6: some things that cannot be conveyed in writing, so I

855
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 6: would like to talk more about this again at a

856
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 6: later press conference. Thank you very much.

857
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 2: Is there any word on the details of the contract.

858
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 2: I well, I'm gonna guess it's a little more the

859
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 2: minimum wage.

860
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 5: And just posted on Twitter, it is ten years, seven

861
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 5: hundred million dollars.

Speaker 5: Yeah, Jeff passing on Twitter. Show Atani's deal with the

878
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:57,240
Speaker 2: going to be a Dodger for the next ten years

00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 2: at seven hundred million dollars, just seventy million a year

880
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,360
Speaker 2: for show. Heyotani, And I'll just say this as somebody

881
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 2: who has worked a lot lately when it comes to

882
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 2: the blowtorch Am five to seventy LA Sports, and I've

883
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:12,320
Speaker 2: had a chance to and it's the home of the Dodgers,

884
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,760
Speaker 2: and I've had a chance to be on five seventy

885
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 2: and talk with you know, Fred Rogan and David vass

886
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 2: and Rodney Peton, those guys, and Petro some money. And

887
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 2: this was always the feeling that he was going to

888
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 2: end up in LA with the Dodgers, that he was

889
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 2: just going to go right up the five and go

890
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 2: to Dodgers Stadium and be with the Dodgers. And they've

891
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 2: been confident about this because David Vasse, who's been all

892
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 2: over this and he does a tremendous job covering the

893
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 2: Dodgers four AM, five seventy, he's been saying for the

894
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 2: longest time. Look, you talk to enough people around Major

895
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 2: League Baseball, people in the know, and they feel like

896
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 2: Otani's going to be a Dodger. This was going back

897
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 2: to last year and it just goes to show you

898
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 2: that people there at ground level have a better feel

899
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 2: for what somebody is going to do. They always do.

900
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 2: And there's been this vibe in and around baseball, whether

901
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 2: it was teammates, whether it was coaches, whether it was

902
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 2: people in and around the game, that Otani was gonna

903
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 2: end up being a Dodger. So when you saw that

904
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 2: these other teams were out there and were interested, I

905
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 2: can't imagine that a team like the Blue Jays, or

906
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:26,280
Speaker 2: a team like the Cubs, or a team like the Giants,

907
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,839
Speaker 2: I can't imagine that they had full confidence that they

908
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 2: were really in on the Otani sweepstakes. The fact that

909
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:36,760
Speaker 2: the Yankees went out and made the trade for Awan Soto,

910
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 2: the fact that the Red Sox were out there making moves.

911
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 2: It would not surprise me to see the Cubs go

912
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 2: ahead and re sign Cody Bellinger. And the facts and

913
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 2: the reality is maybe those contract talks have already gotten

914
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 2: started because the Cubs got a feeling. Listen, we don't

915
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 2: have a shot here like this ain't happening. Like there

916
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 2: was talks that maybe the Blue Jays were going to

917
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,880
Speaker 2: trade Bobashett Jay's. It's like, oh, okay, hold on a second,

918
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 2: let's go ahead and slow down here, like we'd love

919
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 2: to add Otani. But I do wonder how many of

920
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 2: these teams really felt confidence that they were gonna land

921
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 2: Show Heyotani. Because if you listen to Dave Assay, who's

922

926
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,279

927
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 2: also got that vibe. So some of the names and

928
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 2: teams and reports and rumors and interests and all that

929
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 2: stuff didn't really add up considering this was always the favorite.

930
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,479
Speaker 2: They were always the team at ground level that people

931
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 2: felt like Otani was going to sign with. And as

Speaker 2: to catch up with a man who predicted this month ago.

968
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 2: If you've listened closely enough, there was a man and

969
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 2: one man that I know of who was telling people

970
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 2: months ago at ground level this was going to happen.

971
00:52:57,480 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 2: So you will hear from him again less than ten

972
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 2: minute from now from the tire Raq dot com studio.

973
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 2: So that is the big breaking news show. Heyotan. He

974
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 2: gets a ten year deal worth seventy million dollars a

975
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 2: season to be an LA Dodger, which just sort of

976
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 2: puts into perspective the business of sports and some of

977
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 2: the contracts that are handed out because like you know,

978
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 2: like like Deshaun Watson's a weirdo and he gets two

979
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,399
Speaker 2: hundred thirty million dollars guaranteed, and you're like, ah, man,

980
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 2: like that that old, that old Deshaun Watson. Man, I mean,

981
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 2: it pays to be just a just a bit of

982
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 2: a freak show. And then next Toigu, you know, you

983
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,359
Speaker 2: get two hundred thirty million dollars and it's like you

984
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 2: just hear these other stories that come up throughout the

985
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 2: course of the week. Like one of my favorite stories

986
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 2: this week is Mickey Loomis of the New Orleans Saints.

987
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 2: He's the general manager or the the GM of the Saints,

988
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,479
Speaker 2: and he was on WWL Radio and he was talking

989
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 2: about how surprised he was at like Lions fans that

990
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:01,319
Speaker 2: were at the game this Sunday. They were sitting in

991
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 2: seats belonging to Saints season ticket holders and all that. Like, dude,

992
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 2: first off, this is the best Lions team we've seen

993
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 2: in a long ass time, in a long time. And

994
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 2: these fans have traveled well all year, all right, So

995
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 2: you've got got that alone. So the fans are traveling,

996
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 2: they went to the opener, they've gone to all these

997
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 2: other games. They've dominated even the home fans when they're

998
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 2: traveling because they've actually got a product that they are

999
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,799
Speaker 2: interested in. They actually got a product that they that

1000
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 2: they're proud of, that they want to go watch and see.

1001
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 2: And so he's looking around going, god, it was a

1002
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 2: little bit disappointing. You know, I get the business. Well,

1003
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 2: that's the point. There's a business aspect for everybody in

1004
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:41,320
Speaker 2: all this. And so if you're one of these season

1005
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:43,399
Speaker 2: ticket holders, you're looking at us going, all right, we're

1006
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 2: a destination city. These fans like to travel, They've got

1007
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 2: a decent product. Yeah, we're selling our tickets. Whatever we're

1008
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,880
Speaker 2: making on this one game could actually pay for next

1009
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 2: year season tickets. That's the business to all this. And

1010
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:00,319
Speaker 2: so when you see the business of sports or it's

1011
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 2: become more known and more prep like, it's not just

1012
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 2: like organization. Fans are seeing it as well too. You

1013
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:10,799
Speaker 2: don't think Dodger ticket prices just went up a little bit.

1014
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 2: You don't think this isn't good for everybody involved. You

1015
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 2: remember when Lebron James went back to Cleveland. All the

1016
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 2: businesses in and around Cleveland now that he was back home,

1017
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 2: everybody saw an increase. Everybody saw it Like what's fascinating

1018
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,840
Speaker 2: about this is now you're looking at what happens to

1019
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 2: the Angels. I mean, I got news for you. I

1020
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 2: was just at Monster Jam a couple of weeks ago

1021
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:40,319
Speaker 2: at Angels Stadium. There ain't gonna be that many people

1022
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 2: at an Angels game this year. I mean, I just

1023
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 2: I'm telling you right now, like you know, now, never

1024
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 2: mind the fact that my son urinated all over me,

1025
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 2: you know, accidentally of course didn't mean to, just got

1026
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 2: a little excited, and I had to wear it with

1027
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 2: a pair of lightly colored jeans, and I had to

1028
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 2: pretend like I spilled, you know, a diet coke all

1029
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 2: over my lap. But the point is, like they're the

1030
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 2: ramifications of this are massive, and just to see a

1031
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 2: tale of two organizations where you've got the Angels and

1032
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, Like there's this other story out there. Zach

1033
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:19,360
Speaker 2: Ertz is available. Like of all the teams, of course,

1034
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 2: you know, of all the teams that you would think

1035
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:22,839
Speaker 2: would be interested in zach Ertz, who do you think

1036
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 2: it would be? Like, think of a team that already

1037
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 2: has a tight end and probably doesn't need a zach

1038
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:28,759
Speaker 2: Ertz because they're already pretty loaded. Of course it's the

1039
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:32,840
Speaker 2: forty nine ers. Like, doesn't it feel like in sports

1040
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 2: the usual suspects are always the usual suspects. They're always

1041
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 2: the ones spending the money. Like you could go sport

1042
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:46,799
Speaker 2: by sport, it's always the teams that are out there

1043
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:49,799
Speaker 2: and in on the potential big free agents, all of them.

1044
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 2: If you go to the NFL, every time there's a

1045
00:56:53,680 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 2: big name out there, who are the usual suspects? San Francisco, Philly, Miami.

1046
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 2: A couple of years ago, it was the Rams, usual suspects,

1047
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 2: always the ones that are looking to spend the money.

1048
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 2: You go to the NBA, every time there's a big

1049
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 2: name out there, who is always the team that seems

1050
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 2: to be interested. The Lakers, the Celtics, the Heat would

1051
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:22,919
Speaker 2: get involved. Like you go like go around sports, it's

1052
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 2: always the usual suspects. You go to Major League Baseball,

1053
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 2: who's always the teams everybody looks at, well, you know,

1054
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, the Yankees, the Red Sox, maybe that you'd

1055
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 2: thrown the Cubs. And it's always the teams that are

1056
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 2: seemingly successful. And so we could sit here, we can

1057
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 2: cry and complain like, oh my god, the Dodgers landed

1058
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 2: another free agent because they've got Mookie Betts and Freddie

1059
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:47,919
Speaker 2: Freeman and they've got sho heeo Tani and they've got

1060
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 2: You can sit there and complain all you want about it,

1061
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 2: and you can cry about the fact that the Dodgers

1062
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:56,480
Speaker 2: have just landed another blockbuster signing and the Dodgers have

1063
00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 2: done it again and landed the biggest free agent name

1064
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 2: on the market, or you can look around and go,

1065
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 2: why does my team do that? Why isn't my team

1066
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 2: out there spending the money? So I'm not going to

1067
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 2: sit here and be a hater or complain about it.

1068
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 2: It's not surprising because we usually see the same teams

1069
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 2: at the top of the list every time a big

1070
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 2: name comes available. Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio from

1071
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 2: the Tirerak dot com studios. All right, so we are

1072
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 2: going to hear from a man who called his shot

1073
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 2: months ago when it came to show Heyotani being an

1074
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 2: LA Dodger. We will hear from him next, but for

1075
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 2: all the latest from around the world of sports, let's

1076
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:33,320
Speaker 2: turn it over to a man that broke that news

1077
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 2: a short time ago. Here on Fox Sports.

1078
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 6: Radio, Nick Kobe, Yes show, Hey Otani headed to the Dodgers,

1079
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 6: the Japanese star. He was the one who broke the

1080
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 6: news himself, posting to Instagram at the top of the

1081
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 6: hour that he will stay in southern California ten years,

1082
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 6: seven hundred million dollars, shattering records, and his Instagram post

1083
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 6: Otani thank the Angels fans. He apologized for taking so

1084
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 6: long to come to a decision. He said, in part

1085
00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 6: quote to all Dodgers fans, I pledged always do it's

1086
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 6: best for the team and always continue to give it

1087
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 6: my all to be.

1088
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 2: The best version of myself. He continued.

1089
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 6: There are some things that cannot be conveyated writing, so

1090
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 6: I'd like to talk more about this again at a

1091
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 6: later press conference.

1092
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 2: End quote.

1093
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 6: Fox Sports is Ken Rosenthal says the deal includes unprecedented

1094
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 6: deferrals the majority of his salary, and those deferrals were

1095
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:25,320
Speaker 6: apparently Otani's idea in order to ease the Dodgers' luxury

1096
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 6: tax and cash flow burdens to give the team the

1097
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 6: flexibility it needs to be as competitive as possible. So

1098
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 6: perhaps the Dodger's not done here in free agency.

1099
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:39,040

1130
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:08,400

1131
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 2: out of the world of sports, out of Major League Baseball,

1132
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:16,760
Speaker 2: Shohei Otani gets a ten year deal for seven hundred

1133
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:20,920
Speaker 2: million dollars. He is now an LA Dodger, So just

1134
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 2: a massive, massive git for the Dodgers, a guy who's

1135
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:27,040
Speaker 2: not going to be pitching, but somebody who's going to be.

1136
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 2: I'm assuming he's going to be the DH for the Dodgers.

1137
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 2: But we're going to hear more on this big signing

1158
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:38,240
Speaker 2: And there was a man who called this months ago.

1159
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:41,400
Speaker 2: If you've listened on AM five to seventy LA Sports,

1160
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:44,400
Speaker 2: you know he's one of the best MLB reporters in

1161
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 2: the game. He is David Vasse joining us here on

1162
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. Dave, take a bow, my friend. You

1163
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:53,480
Speaker 2: called this months ago. You said, everybody you've talked to

1164
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 2: has been kind of preaching Otani to the Dodgers. Otani

1165
01:02:57,600 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 2: to the Dodgers. There was a lot of Blue Jays

1166
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:01,919
Speaker 2: rumblings out there, a lot of other teams that were

1167
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 2: in the mix, quote unquote, But congratulations, you call your shot.

1168
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:08,160
Speaker 2: Show hated the Dodgers ten year, seven hundred million.

1169
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, just an incredible turn of events, and thank you, Jonas.

1170
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 8: And honestly, we won't know the backstory to all this

1171
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 8: until the press conference and the days that followed today's

1172
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 8: surprising announcement in some ways, because nobody knew for certain

1173
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:30,520
Speaker 8: leading up to this announcement to this day, what was

1174
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 8: Otani thinking. I know, yesterday was a crazy day, but

1175
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 8: those reports obviously did not have factual information straight from Otani.

1176
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 8: And certainly there's a lot of excitement in the city

1177
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 8: of Los Angeles right now.

1178
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,920
Speaker 2: So one of the things, and I remember you talking

1179
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 2: about this because and having a chance to look, we've

1180
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:54,800
Speaker 2: discussed Otani seemingly every time you would come on AM

1181
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 2: five to seventy LA Sports when I was in for

1182
01:03:57,040 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 2: you know, Rogan and Rodney or Petros money. But you

1183
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 2: got the vibe. And I was making this point earlier

1184
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 2: that people at ground level always know before stuff reaches

1185
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:10,080
Speaker 2: high on top. And you got the vibe just from

1186
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 2: people in and around baseball that the Dodgers had an advantage.

1187
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 2: What gave you that impression from people.

1188
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 8: You talk to, Well, Number one, they had the financial

1189
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:23,200
Speaker 8: strengths to be able to pull something off like this.

1190
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 8: Number Two, I feel like everybody kind of lost sight

1191
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 8: of the fact that Otami's not just another player. He's

1192
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 8: not just a pitcher, he's not just a hitter. He's

1193
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 8: a business asset. That's the way these owners were looking

1194
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 8: at him. And this is a day and age where

1195
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:45,000
Speaker 8: team owners don't just have the team as their sole income.

1196
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 8: They're multi billionaires that made their dollars and other walks

1197
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:54,080
Speaker 8: of life. And the Dodgers are owned by a big

1198
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 8: time you know, a Guggenheim group that has a lot

1199
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 8: of different business interests, and certainly they see Otani fitting

1200
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:04,919
Speaker 8: into it that way. And that's the way the Blue

1201
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 8: Jays felt as well well with the Rogers Media group.

1202
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 8: So that's why these big players were the ones that

1203
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:15,600
Speaker 8: were obviously in the mix and felt like they had

1204
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:19,360
Speaker 8: a good shot going down the stretch. But baseball wise,

1205
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:23,040
Speaker 8: it's a great fit for the Dodgers when he is

1206
01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:26,480
Speaker 8: able to pitch again, they have the pitching depths to

1207
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:33,160
Speaker 8: be able to not overwork him, and offensively, he fits

1208
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:37,280
Speaker 8: in perfectly behind Mookie Beds, Freddie Freeman, Will Smith and

1209
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:40,280
Speaker 8: will be a huge force in the middle of that lineup.

1210
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 2: David Vasse joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. He

1211
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:46,200
Speaker 2: covers the Dodgers for AM five to seventy LA Sports.

1212
01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:49,439
Speaker 2: You can get him on Twitter at the Real Underscore DV.

1213
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:52,000
Speaker 2: So I just want to ask you about the lineup,

1214
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 2: So if you were to just pencil in, because obviously

1215
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:56,080
Speaker 2: there's other moves that are going to be made, So

1216
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:59,320
Speaker 2: just what is the Dodger lineup again going into next year?

1217
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 2: From the top, from the top down, as.

1218
01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:05,800
Speaker 8: Far as you go, Well, I would imagine, you know,

1219
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 8: the Dodgers like to alternate hitters left, right, right, left,

1220
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 8: but it would be hard to not see Otani hit

1221
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 8: in the first inning. I could see a lineup where

1222
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 8: it's some Mookie Bets, Freddie Freeman followed by Otani. There

1223
01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 8: is a scenario where it's Will Smith, behind Mookie and

1224
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 8: Freddy and O'tani hitting clean up, and then you're getting

1225
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:30,880
Speaker 8: into you know, Max Munsey and the rest of that

1226
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 8: lineup that really we don't know what it'll look like

1227
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:34,440
Speaker 8: at this point.

1228
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 2: I mean, Dave honestly, as somebody who not only covers

1229
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 2: the Dodgers but grew up a Dodger fan, do you

1230
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 2: don't feel kind of bad?

1231
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 8: It's like Jonah on paper, it looks great, it feels great,

1232
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:52,640
Speaker 8: but Otani's recovering from his second Tommy John surgery. Who

1233
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:55,840
Speaker 8: knows when he'll be ready, if at all. But this is,

1234
01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:59,040
Speaker 8: like I said, this is not just about on the field.

1235
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:01,240
Speaker 8: It's on so many different levels.

1236
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaker 2: It's like Bezos winning the lottery too.

1237
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:05,520
Speaker 8: It's a come up with good like yeah, I would,

1238
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 8: I would agree with that. That's a good analogy.

1239
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 2: This, I mean, so the lineup is incredible. I did

1240
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:12,280
Speaker 2: want to ask you this though, because I was making

1241
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:15,280
Speaker 2: mention of this earlier, like I don't like for anybody

1242
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:17,800
Speaker 2: that complains, like back in the day when the Yankees

1243
01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 2: would be all in on free agents and it was

1244
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:21,920
Speaker 2: like always Red Sox fans who complain like, oh, of

1245
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:24,560
Speaker 2: course they bought their team and then you fast forward

1246
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 2: a couple of years of Red Sox are doing the

1247
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:29,200
Speaker 2: same thing. Like to me, I think this puts pressure

1248
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:31,880
Speaker 2: on other organizations who aren't doing this, And I know

1249
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 2: the Dodgers have advantages that other organizations don't, but I've

1250
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 2: got no issue with the fact that a team like

1251
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:41,240
Speaker 2: the Dodgers goes back to the well and does something

1252
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 2: like this after they've added a Mookie Betts or Freddie Freeman.

1253
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 2: To me, this shows an aggressiveness that look, more organizations

1254
01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:51,480
Speaker 2: should have this mindset. I know there are some who

1255
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:53,400
Speaker 2: can't do it, but it does feel like there are

1256
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:55,320
Speaker 2: some who could do more than they do for their

1257
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:55,920
Speaker 2: fan base.

1258
01:07:57,240 --> 01:08:00,640
Speaker 8: I agree with you, and that's why Dodge fans who

1259
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 8: complain they've only won one World Series in the last

1260
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:07,480
Speaker 8: you know, ten years during this run are a little

1261
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 8: short sighted because it was only thirteen years ago that

1262
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:14,959
Speaker 8: their owner, Frank McCourt was bankrupt and nobody was going

1263
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:19,280
Speaker 8: to games. This ownership group said they would revitalize the

1264
01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:23,080
Speaker 8: brand and revitalize the city and the passion and reward

1265
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:27,200
Speaker 8: the fans for their passion in the Dodgers win or lose,

1266
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:30,800
Speaker 8: and they have stuck behind that. So kudos to them,

1267
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 8: and certainly this is a big business and a big

1268
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:36,320
Speaker 8: coup for the Dodgers to get Otani.

1269
01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:39,679
Speaker 2: David Vassa joining us here on Fox Sports Radio talking

1270
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:42,240
Speaker 2: about the big breaking news out of the world of sports, show,

1271
01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:45,640
Speaker 2: Heyotani a ten year, seven hundred million dollar contract. He

1272
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 2: is now an LA Dodger. I did want to ask you,

1273
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 2: just from a business standpoint, We've never seen a contract

1274
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:55,040
Speaker 2: like this. Do you think this is going to be

1275
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:59,000
Speaker 2: looked at as as the exception or is this just

1276
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 2: going to be what things are like in baseball moving forward?

1277
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:07,040
Speaker 8: Jonas, You've heard people call O'tani the unicorn on the field.

1278
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 8: He is now the unicorn off the field. This is

1279
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:14,880
Speaker 8: one of one because of just how transcendent and unique

1280
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:18,719
Speaker 8: of a player. He is a global brand. I mean

1281
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:22,759
Speaker 8: for all intentsive purposes. I know it's not exactly the same,

1282
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 8: but he's the Lebron James of Major League Baseball. He

1283
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:31,400
Speaker 8: has six times as many followers on Instagram than the

1284
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:34,680
Speaker 8: next closest guy and Aaron Judge. He has six million followers.

1285
01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:38,719
Speaker 8: No other baseball player has that, no other baseball player

1286
01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:41,559
Speaker 8: has the reach. And oh, by the way, Jonas the

1287
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:47,400
Speaker 8: Dodgers are opening the season in Soul Korea. This makes sense.

1288
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:51,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, everything about it makes sense. Day before we

1289
01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:54,599
Speaker 2: let you go, because if anybody knows Dave, he doesn't

1290
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:57,840
Speaker 2: miss an opportunity to take take a body shot at

1291
01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:02,680
Speaker 2: another fan base or another organization. If you're an Angels fan,

1292
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:07,479
Speaker 2: right now, Dave, your thoughts as we take a look

1293
01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:11,240
Speaker 2: down down the five Freeway and see the La Angels

1294
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:14,320
Speaker 2: who are sitting there going great. Now, what does this

1295
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:16,920
Speaker 2: freeway series feel like when we get it before the

1296
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 2: season starts. Your thoughts on what the Angel fan base

1297
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:21,160
Speaker 2: is going through here?

1298
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 8: Well, number one, it's disappointing for them, but it gives

1299
01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:29,679
Speaker 8: them an opportunity to maybe build a more well rounded

1300
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:34,559
Speaker 8: team without having this salary on their books. Now. I

1301
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:37,880
Speaker 8: know that's small consolation, but baseball isn't just a one

1302
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:41,440
Speaker 8: person sport. The one guy, as we have seen in Anaheim,

1303
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:45,040
Speaker 8: can't carry you to the Promised Land. I will take

1304
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:48,559
Speaker 8: this opportunity to mock the fans in San Francisco, though,

1305
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 8: Jonas they can't give away their money. Aaron Judge said no.

1306
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:58,840
Speaker 8: Otania said no, nobody wants a part of the San

1307
01:10:58,840 --> 01:10:59,799
Speaker 8: Francisco Giants.

1308
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:02,840
Speaker 2: Apparent by the way, you know who I blame for that.

1309
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:05,920
Speaker 2: I blame you, Dave, because when I was filling in,

1310
01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:07,880
Speaker 2: I believe it was for Matt money Smith. I was

1311
01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:10,439
Speaker 2: on with Petros papadak Is and we were on the

1312
01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:13,360
Speaker 2: call with you. You were calling in from San Francisco

1313
01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:16,280
Speaker 2: right as some guy came in and stole money out

1314
01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:18,679
Speaker 2: of a tip jar at a pizza parlor. I believe,

1315
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:19,639
Speaker 2: I believe he didn't.

1316
01:11:19,439 --> 01:11:21,759
Speaker 8: Just feel the money, he took the whole jar.

1317
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:28,040
Speaker 2: Ah Man, one of the.

1318
01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 8: The money and the handsome her.

1319
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 2: One of the great moments in sports radio history. Dave

1320
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:36,880
Speaker 2: vass live on the scene from San Francisco while a

1321
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:40,040
Speaker 2: theft occurred on the air with myself and Petro's papadek Is.

1322
01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:43,800
Speaker 2: Dave just quickly and I know I said last one,

1323
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:47,280
Speaker 2: but I lied. Uh. So, there it is David Vasse

1324
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:49,439
Speaker 2: joining us here on Fox Sports Trading. I was gonna

1325
01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 2: ask Dave just about the uh the regret for the Angels.

1326
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:56,240
Speaker 2: You know, they decided not to make the trade during

1327
01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:59,720
Speaker 2: the during the season, they wanted to hold on to him.

1328
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:01,559
Speaker 2: They felt like they were going to make a playoff run.

1329
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:05,400
Speaker 2: Regretful decision looking back, on it, but nonetheless not a

1330
01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:08,040
Speaker 2: great time to be an Angel fan. So that was

Speaker 2: cheerleading bleep over the Otani stuff. Yeah, there's all sorts

1376
01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:37,519
Speaker 2: of that stuff going on there. It is. It's been

1377
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:39,519
Speaker 2: a wild show. It's been a fun show. But show Hey,

1378
01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:42,559
Speaker 2: Otani is an LA Dodger ten years, seven hundred million dollars.

1379
01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:45,080
Speaker 2: Check it out on the podcast because you'll also hear

1380
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:47,800
Speaker 2: from the Great David Vass, which, by the way, I

1381
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:52,400
Speaker 2: wasn't making up that story. David Vase was on the

1382
01:14:52,479 --> 01:14:56,519
Speaker 2: air with myself and Petros papadaeikis on the Blowtorch and

1383
01:14:56,760 --> 01:15:00,720
Speaker 2: five to seventy LA Sports right as a theft was

1384
01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:04,240
Speaker 2: being committed in San Francisco. He was in downtown San Francisco.

1385
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:07,080
Speaker 2: He was covering the Dodgers at the Giants, and he's

1386
01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:10,120
Speaker 2: in a pizza parlor and a guy literally walks into

1387
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:12,439
Speaker 2: the pizza parlor while Dave's on the phone with us

1388
01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:19,000
Speaker 2: and steals the entire tip jar off the counter. So

1389
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,360
Speaker 2: I wonder I about Tani was listed to an interview going,

1390
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:25,840
Speaker 2: hold on a second, if I'm picking up, you know,

1391
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:28,960
Speaker 2: a large cheese and pepperoni, like, I don't want my

1392
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:32,240
Speaker 2: wallet taken. I don't want my bill fold ripped out

1393
01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:34,719
Speaker 2: of my back pocket when I'm in San Francisco trying

1394
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:38,040
Speaker 2: to try to pick up a pie. So that could

1395
01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:40,840
Speaker 2: have been the determining factor for show Aotani not signing

1396
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:43,559
Speaker 2: with the with the Giants but instead signing with the Dodgers.

1397
01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:45,720
Speaker 2: Who knows. We'll just go with that anyways, because you

1398
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:48,519
Speaker 2: can't prove us wrong. Right now, though it is time

1399
01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:50,000
Speaker 2: for another edition.

1400
01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:56,160
Speaker 1: Of this locked it let's lock It knocks Loucks.

1401
01:15:56,960 --> 01:16:03,040
Speaker 2: Now we got to be accountable. Look, I told you

1402
01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:04,880
Speaker 2: I was out on the New Orleans Saints, and I

1403
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:08,400
Speaker 2: meant it. Last week the Lions minus four, that was

1404
01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:11,000
Speaker 2: my pick and that was a win. Now know what

1405
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:14,040
Speaker 2: you're thinking, Hey, got a little close there, but you

1406
01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 2: lucked at it must have been a lucky week. Now,

1407
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:19,320
Speaker 2: that's not correct. You are absolutely false in that regard

1408
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:22,679
Speaker 2: because I also like the Washington Commanders plus nine against

1409
01:16:22,680 --> 01:16:25,840
Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins, and then I realized, oh, that's right.

1410
01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 2: The Commanders are a diaper fire I forgot all about that.

1411
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:33,720
Speaker 2: I forgot all about the fact that Washington stinks and

1412
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:38,479
Speaker 2: they've stunk for going on twenty something years. Bad pick

1413
01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:41,000
Speaker 2: by me. And then how about the fact that the

1414
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:44,160
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a four point favorite against the awful

1415
01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:48,439
Speaker 2: Carolina Panthers, can't just do the job and stop a

1416
01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 2: two point conversion. Couldn't do their job. But again, I'm

1417
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:54,080
Speaker 2: going to be accountable for it. I'm the one who

1418
01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:56,519
Speaker 2: made the picks. I'm the one who went one and

1419
01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:59,080
Speaker 2: two and so because of that and because of that

1420
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:02,519
Speaker 2: awful performance last week, I'm sitting at eighteen nineteen and

1421
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 2: two on the year. But it's now time for this,

1422
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:09,679
Speaker 2: Rams said Ravens. Yeah, I'm gonna take the Baltimore. Ravens,

1423
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:12,439
Speaker 2: I will take Baltimore minus the seven and a half.

1424
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:14,600
Speaker 2: I know it's a big number, I get it, But

1425
01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:17,400
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people who are way too confident

1426
01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:19,760
Speaker 2: and feeling way too good about themselves when it comes

1427
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:24,599
Speaker 2: to the La Rams. Joe Flacco just started playing football again,

1428
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:27,439
Speaker 2: like a week and a half ago. I mean, let's

1429
01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:30,040
Speaker 2: slow down here, let's relax a little bit. Cleveland's deal

1430
01:17:30,120 --> 01:17:32,639
Speaker 2: with a ton of injuries. I know that the La

1431
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:34,960
Speaker 2: Rams are a good story because there wasn't a lot

1432
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:38,040
Speaker 2: of expectation coming into the season and they are in

1433
01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:40,799
Speaker 2: the playoff on and you feel good for Sean McVay.

1434
01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:42,400
Speaker 2: He's done a hell of a job. And there's some

1435
01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:45,280
Speaker 2: young talent there, like a Puka Nakua who's done a

1436
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:48,519
Speaker 2: great job showcasing his skill set and they're utilizing him

1437
01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:50,160
Speaker 2: and all that stuff, even though he's banged up. All

1438
01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:53,040
Speaker 2: that stuff, it's a good story. Aaron Donald love Aaron Donald,

1439
01:17:53,160 --> 01:17:55,639
Speaker 2: love everything about him. Fact of the matter is Baltimore

1440
01:17:55,680 --> 01:17:57,000
Speaker 2: is one of the best teams in the NFL, and

1441
01:17:57,040 --> 01:17:59,080
Speaker 2: they might be the best team in the AFC. They're

1442
01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:01,320
Speaker 2: a seven and a half points, they're coming off their

1443
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:04,120
Speaker 2: bye week. I like Baltimore in this spot. Give me

1444
01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:06,839
Speaker 2: the Ravens, and I don't care about Lamar Jackson's illness.

1445
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 2: Earlier in the week, Bills at Chiefs. I'm gonna go

1446
01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:16,000
Speaker 2: Kansas City minus a point here. I'm surprised they're only

1447
01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:18,360
Speaker 2: a one point favorite. But you got the Buffalo Bills

1448
01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:21,599
Speaker 2: who are dealing with another distraction. The Sean McDermott nine

1449
01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:24,720
Speaker 2: to eleven comparisons Earlier this week, all of that, the

1450
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:27,519
Speaker 2: Von Miller stuff is out there. You got the Kansas

1451
01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:29,519
Speaker 2: City Chiefs, who are gonna have a red ass after

1452
01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:32,839
Speaker 2: they lost on Sunday Night football against the Green Bay Packers.

1453
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:35,639
Speaker 2: I always trust them in a bounce back spot. Give

1454
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:38,200
Speaker 2: me Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs a one point favorite

1455
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:38,559
Speaker 2: at home.

1456
01:18:39,120 --> 01:18:41,320
Speaker 1: Eagles at Cowboys.

1457
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:44,320
Speaker 2: And I'm taking the Cowboys. Why because I picked them

1458
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:45,800
Speaker 2: to go to the Super Bowl, so I'm kind of

1459
01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:47,920
Speaker 2: invested in this whole thing. I will take the Dallas

1460
01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:50,640
Speaker 2: Cowboys minus to three and a half. I don't like

1461
01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:52,960
Speaker 2: the half point there. It's a rivalry game. I know

1462
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:55,960
Speaker 2: Philly's gonna have a red ass themselves coming off last week,

1463
01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:59,040
Speaker 2: but in this spot, I'll take Dallas. Philly's been through

1464
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:01,639
Speaker 2: a gauntlet lately, so give me the Cowboys minus three

1465
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:03,719
Speaker 2: and a half. And that is your Week fourteen edition

1466
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:06,120
Speaker 2: of Knox Locks. It's been a fun show. Thanks for

1467
01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 2: hanging out here. Monsey and Carmen are next. Jonas Son

1468
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:12,040
Speaker 2: of a Bitch
