Speaker 5: The promo is running all over Fox. Ben Johnson knows

158
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 5: what he's doing. He's got a lot of weapons. Caleb

159
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 5: Williams is terrific.

160
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: He didn't have a bad year last year, but he

161
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: wasn't Jayden Daniels, so people think, oh he was to

162
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: no Caleblliams.

163
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 5: It was a bad end of the year. He got

164
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 5: sacked a lot, mainly because his offensive line was terrible.

165
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 5: But understand things are different. They got a better offensive

166
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 5: line in place. They signed a couple of guys with

167
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 5: Pro Bowl resumes. Right, things are going to be better.

168
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: But if it's not, this is it for Caleb Williams

169
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: in Chicago and they will move on from him in

170
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: the offseason. And this is Caleb williams last year with

171
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: the Bears. He's not going to survive a bad year.

172
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: Number one, all the noise outside the organization, look, Bears Nation,

173
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: they're ready. They have one foot off the Caleb outside

174
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: of the Caleb Williams bandwagon. Already, they are done. They

175
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: are ready for.

176
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 4: Him to stink.

177
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: You see all the stuff this preseason with Tyson bag

178
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: and how much they're ready for him to just stink

179
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: so they can get rid of them. And you disagree

180
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: with me, And now I want to know if you

181
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: still disagree with me after today, after the pump and

182
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: circumstance for Tyson beagent's contract extension with the Bears.

183
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 4: Okay, nothing should.

184
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: Tell you that this is twenty twenty five or bus

185
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: for k Williams more than what we saw today. First

186
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: of all, backup quarterback contracts don't get announced, Okay, it's

187
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: just a signing. Oh hey, look who our backup is

188
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: going to be. This is how it goes right because

189
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: you what your starting quarterback knows who he is.

190
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 4: Nobody makes a.

191
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 5: Pomp and circumstance announcement with their backup quarterbacks, but the

192
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 5: Bears do today. You don't sign a backup quarterback long term,

193
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 5: because why are we locked into a backup quarterback long ter?

194
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 4: But this is what happened.

195
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: Beijing gets a two year extension today for ten million dollars,

196
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: could get to as much as sixteen million dollars.

197
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 5: This would make him the highest paid backup quarterback in

198
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 5: the NFL. You don't pay a guy that kind of

199
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 5: money and have this kind of Hey, we're gonna give

200
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 5: you a day to be announced as our backup quarterback

201
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 5: unless there are plans long term that you may have

202
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 5: to start. And this is what the Bears have said

203
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 5: with all of this today, look, and I think it's

204
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 5: a great day for Beijing. Obviously we're going to play

205
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 5: some sound from in a second. You know, sure, very

206
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 5: emotional with his day today and his journey and an

207
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 5: awesome day for him.

208
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 4: But no one does this.

209
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: No one talks about the backup quarterbacks like the Chicago

210
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: Bears have talked about their backup quarterbacks. I mean, you

211
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: got Ben Johnson saying I've been blown away by his approach.

212
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 4: He knows what to do, he gets it done. You

213
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 4: can't have.

214
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 5: Enough talent in that room. We have one of the

215
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 5: best quarterback rooms in the NFL. And then you had

216
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 5: Ryan Poles on Sunday Night Football saying, no one prepares

217
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 5: harder than Tyson bagee.

218
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 4: Wha, Wait a minute, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. Okay, I

219
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 4: get that. I'm sure he prepares hard. I get that.

220
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: But you're gonna go on national TV and say your

221
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: hardest working player is your backup quarterback?

222
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 4: I mean you have to.

223
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: You have to read the signs out there that the

224
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: Bears are saying. And part of this is gonna be

225
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: we're motivating Caleb Williams because this is this is kind

226
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: of what Jerry Jones did trying to get Trey Lance

227
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: into the Cowboys, saying, hey, we like Trey Lance. That

228
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: might motivate Dak Prescott. Guess what kind of did until

229
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott got hurt. But this is motivation. This is

230
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: also saying we have a plan in place. Man, if

231
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: you state this.

232
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 5: Year, look at what we have with our backup who

233
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 5: you like, how he played during the season. We're giving

234
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 5: him a press conference for his for his quarterbirth extent.

235
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, look at the money we're giving him. All of

236
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 4: this tells you they have planned they will move on

237
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 4: from Caleb Williams after this year.

238
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 5: If it is not great, it's twenty twenty five or

239
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 5: bust for Caleb Williams.

240
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at it this way and look, I

241
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: like the chaos, and I was hoping you'd push all

242
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: in saying Caleb, it never plays another snap.

243
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 4: This is all.

244
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: This is all to have your five million dollars a year,

245
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: maybe as much as eight million dollars a year quarterback.

246
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 4: Let's get it started, I would say this right.

247
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: First thing is this is the first contract extension signed

248
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: by a quarterback, not not a one year hey you're

249
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: still here, yay kind of thing, since Jake Cutler in

250
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen. So we're going back a decade. So yes,

251
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: this requires pomp and circumstance. I'm surprised they didn't bring

252
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: out a damn ice cream cake when it's all said

253
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: and done.

254
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 4: You're also talking about a.

255
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: Guy who's a Division two quarterback, and I mean he

256
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: got weepy. We will play the sound, but talking about it,

257
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: locking it in, locking him in, saying you love it here,

258
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: we love you. Let's get this done because if he

259
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: does have to start, either via injury or the unfortunate

260
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 1: occurrence of Caleb Williams, you know what's that word sucking,

261
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: then you got a guy in your room that knows

262
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: the room, has been there two years and can come in,

263
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 1: has shown and demonstrated what he can do, and you

264
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: got him on the cheap for two years.

265
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 4: So that's all fine and good, right.

266
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: The other is continuity in a program in a city

267
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: where there has been no continuity and consistency in that room.

268
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson went to Ryan Poles and look, I'm not

269
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: a Ryan Poles guy. You know this, but it's the

270
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: idea of let's have some semblance and consistency.

271
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 4: This is what we do going forward.

272
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: If he has to play great, if he doesn't ever

273
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: see a snap, you've got a minimal investment. But you've

274
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: got an insurance policy, right, It's the Lloyd's of London policy.

275
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: When I'm a twenty year old guy sprinting up and

276
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: down one of the greatest college players of all time,

277
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: but I know that if one bad tackle, one hip

278
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: drop tackle, my career goes bam. Lloyd's Lunson cutting me

279
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: a check. That's what they're doing here with the quarterback position.

280
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: Or if someone gets truly desperate, secret option. See, hey,

281
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: anybody want to trade for Tyson Bagent. We love him

282
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: and you can have him if the price is right.

283
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: If Tyson Bagent wasn't expected to start right, But let's

284
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: just say, hey, here's what we're doing.

285
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 4: We are showing up the quarterback room.

286
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 5: You're going into the draft next year to get a

287
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 5: new quarterback, aren't you right? Really, you can't sit here

288
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 5: and say, well, we don't like Caleb Williams, you know,

289
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 5: but an hour you're gonna go and get another quarterback. Right,

290
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 5: that's your plan, right, because if Caleb Williams doesn't work out,

291
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 5: you need a quarterback. It's okay, things are bad. We're

292
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 5: going into free agency for a proven starter. We're gonna

293
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 5: go to get a guy that Sam Darnold type that

294
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 5: all of a sudden makes himself available, Right, that's what

295
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 5: you're doing. Or hey, we're picking high enough in the draft,

296
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 5: we're going to get Arch Manning, We're going to get

297
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 5: somebody else. Doesn't matter. But the fact that you instead

298
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 5: are giving Tyson Bagent this kind of money. This is

299
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 5: not money that Hey, we are solidifying the backup spot

300
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 5: and hope he never has to play. This is we

301
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 5: have a backup guy that we know we're gonna turn

302
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 5: to if it doesn't work out.

303
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 4: Well.

304
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: That's why this is such a big sign for Caleb

305
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: Williams because if he doesn't play well in twenty twenty,

306
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: all right, well we have a guy.

307
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 4: We like, right.

308
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 5: I bet you the Bears look at this situation like

309
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 5: we have RG three and Kirk Cousins. Right, we have

310
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 5: RG three and Kirk Cousins. You know, Kirk Cousins is

311
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 5: the fourth round pick, and hey, we kind of turned

312
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 5: him into something. We let him loose. He got the gig.

313
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 5: Look at how good he was. This is kind of

314
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 5: how the Bears see this quarterback situation. Well, look, we

315
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 5: drafted RG three really high. He's our guy. You saw

316
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 5: the talent, right, just like RG three was his rookie

317
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 5: year's first couple of years. But RG three didn't sustain

318
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 5: it got hurt at her. Kirk Cousins got his chance

319
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 5: and Kirk coun and now you see RG three is

320
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 5: on television.

321
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins is the highest paid backup in the NFL.

322
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 5: Still, this this is the sign that says, hey, if

323
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 5: we strike out a quarterback this year, this is our

324
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 5: guy next year. We're not putting all this money in

325
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 5: here unless we think he's really going to play, and we.

326
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 4: Have to give him a chance. And now we're hoping

327
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 4: that Caleb's a guy.

328
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: Right, we still have every confidence, but we are ready

329
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: to We are pulling on that rip quorder.

330
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 5: We are pressing that panic button. After twenty twenty five,

331
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 5: twenty five or.

332
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: Bust for Caleb Williams Well and the beauty of it

333
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: is you got two guys in the room that are

334
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: making nothing right. Your quarterback position is solidified for the

335
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: next couple of years, and you're not paying a dime.

336
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 4: It's a beautiful thing.

337
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 5: If you wind up this year getting rid of Caleb

338
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 5: Williams after twenty twenty five, I want you with a

339
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 5: sandwich board ringing a bell on the corner of some

340
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 5: Pulvit and Ventura, saying Jason was right, Jason was right,

341
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 5: and then on the end says end times or nine

342
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 5: like the front of the sandwich board, Jason, Well, on the

343
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 5: back of the sandwich board times or nigh, and you

344
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 5: wave one of those one of those bells.

345
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 4: It goes ding ding ding ding da dingda ding d

346
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 4: ding d ding.

347
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's make sure our guys, Patrick, Alex make sure

348
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: you clip that off, because in saying that's the last

349
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: sentence that he did, the end times are nigh. With

350
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: the Jason was right, he just admitted that everything he's

351
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: been telling me for years was erroneous and that my

352
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: strategy of doing the opposite was brilliant. Two opposite like

353
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: the Homer life, to opposite of what Bart says to

354
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: me looks.

355
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 4: Get ready man, I am telling you they get ready,

356
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 4: get ready.

357
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: Now let's love I loved him. No, yeah, it's great.

358
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: Let's hear a little bit of Tyson pagent. You know

359
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: today had had a great conference. Look, this is you know,

360
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: for him listening to him today talk about the journey

361
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: he had and and and in his life from when

362
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: he was a kid to now. Listen to him getting

363
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: very emotional after getting his contract extension. This is where

364
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: you play the Tyson Pagent getting very emotional.

365
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, you know a lot.

366
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 6: Of people don't know this, but you know, my dad

367
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 6: is my uh he's my right hand man, and he

368
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 6: didn't he didn't have running water until he was in

369
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 6: high school. So there's definitely a lot of things that

370
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 6: and people that I could that I think I could

371
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 6: certainly help with this gift I've been blessed with.

372
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 4: But yeah, just little things like that. You know, I

373
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 4: don't really know anybody back at home with any money.

374
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 4: So yeah, it feels good.

375
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 6: I mean, it's certainly a weight off my shoulders and

376
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 6: my family shoulders, and yeah, definitely means a.

377
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 5: Lot that I'd be a great moment for him. You hear,

378
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 5: are But there's no pomping circumstance and contract money unless

379
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 5: you think your backup quarterback is going to be that guy.

380
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 4: But it's also a great story when you know his history. Though.

381
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: This is the Bears showing they have heart that look

382
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: what they did. No, No, this is a win for

383
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: the organization. Sure it creates chaos in the media side

384
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: of it, but for them to be able to say,

385
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: this is our guy. Look, we're betting on him, humble roots.

386
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: Look at humble guy working hard, busting his ass. You know,

387
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: he worked harder than any went all right, he worked

388
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: as hard as other guys. But all of that to say,

389
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: it's it's a pr win. And when you don't announce

390
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: a lot of these extensions, like every other team, even

391
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 1: your Jets have had guys that you said, hey, you

392
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: know what, we'll give him another deal.

393
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 4: Bears don't do that.

394
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: There were mothballs head related to the quarterback position before this.

395
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 4: It's a big deal. It's a celebrating thing. And now

396
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 4: I want ice cream.

397
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: Cake, ice cream cake, go, confetti cake, whatever, whatever it takes.

444
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 5: a big baseball story coming up in it, because boy,

445
00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 5: the number of baseball experts and who are just melting

446
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 5: down over a story from three days ago continues. But

447
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 5: you know, look, first of all, I want to say this,

448
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 5: I'm really coming more around to that, to how Caleb Williams,

449
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 5: Tyson Bagent really seems like it's RG three Kirk Cousins

450
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 5: all over again, right, like so many, so many things

451
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 5: are similar, right the Bears, like just how the the

452
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 5: Red the then Redskins knew. Look, they drafted RG three

453
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 5: and then they drafted Kirk Cousins, which is, why are

454
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 5: you drafting Kirk Cousins when you have that doesn't make it?

455
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 5: But whatever, And they gave RG three a chance. They

456
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 5: gave him two plus years. His first year was really good, right,

457
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 5: I believe he's offensive Rookie of the Year.

458
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 4: Sure was fantastic. Yeah, they went to the.

459
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 5: Yeah they gave to Now they gave a little bit

460
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 5: longer because that was the time in twenty twelve you gave,

461
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 5: you gave guys a little bit longer.

462
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: Now we don't give players nearly as long. There's first

463
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: round quarterbacks that are out of a job after the

464
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: first year, just ask Josh Rosen. But after you know,

465
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: you get three years and it's not he's not quite

466
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: as good as it was. Whatever it was leadership wise

467
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: with him, the questions you had, I really wanted thirty

468
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: for thirty on that era because wow, well, I mean

469
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: in the end, he couldn't stay healthy right now, No,

470
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: I mean at thirteen and in and out of the

471
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: lineup and leaving himself exposed to a lot of hits.

472
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: So a lot of what we've talked about with Anthony Richardson.

473
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: So when RG three starts piping up, I just start pointing, going, yeah,

474
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: you're seeing things, aren't you. Now, Look, I mean he

475
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: didn't stay healthy. He wasn't quite the same the same play,

476
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: and I understand that. And Kirk Cousin slowly got his chance,

477
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: and then the.

478
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 5: Redskins had no choice but to say he's our guy,

479
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 5: right and RG three was done. You know, he tried

480
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 5: to finish his career out, and then you saw Kirk

481
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 5: Cousins then turn that into you know, a five hundred

482
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 5: million dollar career that's still going right now with the

483
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 5: Minnesota Vikings and.

484
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: The greatest businessman ever down there waiting for a chance

485
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: in Atlanta.

486
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, but Washington wouldn't let go of kirk Cousins. They wouldn't.

487
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 5: They wouldn't say, you know what, we have our starting quarterback.

488
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 5: Is this good? Is this good for the company? Is

489
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 5: this good for everyone? That we wind up keeping him?

490
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 5: While RG three we keep saying is our guy?

491
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 4: Right?

492
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: Because I don't care what kind of how strong you

493
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: are mentally. If the if Washington thought that RG three

494
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: was gonna be great, and they had no problems, no questions,

495
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: data said goodbye to kirk Cousins, they'd have fliped them

496
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: into something else because you don't want a quarterback division

497
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: to tear your team apart. But they held on to him,

498
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 1: knowing full well, we're really not quite sure that RG

499
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: three is a guy. That's why you go crazy for

500
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: a backup quarterback, right.

501
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 5: Usually you do what teams not to say the jetsf

502
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 5: you do with the Jets do Hey, we signed Justin Fields.

503
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: Let's go get to Rod Taylor for whatever. He's a

504
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: career backup. If he needs to start, we can. Everything

505
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: is fine. This is how teams do it. You don't

506
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: go crazy for a young backup quarterback unless you think

507
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: he's going to play for us at some point. And

508
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: so Washington they held on to Kirk Cousins, and that

509
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 1: told you they knew. Hey, we're still not sure that

510
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: he's our guy. The fact that Bears are going to

511
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: this extent two year contract extension could wind up being

512
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: the highest paid backup of the NFL.

513
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 5: He's there, Kirk Cousins. We're still not sure that Williams

514
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 5: is the guy. And after this year, we've seen Baige

515
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 5: in play enough in spurts to know that he needs

516
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 5: a chance to play. He needs a chance to play

517
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 5: at some point with the ones. If Caleb Williams falters,

518
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 5: he's not our break glass in case of emergency guy.

519
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 5: He is our next step toor if Caleb Williams doesn't work,

520
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 5: this is where we go next. It seems like it's

521
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 5: the It's RG three and Kirk Cousins all over again.

522
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the analogy can work.

523
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: I mean we're asking some of these questions, you know,

524
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: in the much looser terms during the draft when Cleveland

525
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: did what they did with Dylan Gabriel and Shador Sanders,

526
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: and it's a question still being asked of why did

527
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: you put yourself in a conundrum other than because they're

528
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: the Browns with when you go back to Washington, I mean,

529
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: remember they win the division in twenty twelve behind RG three.

530
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: Next year he goes three and ten as a starter,

531
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 1: Philadelphia wins. But you still think you have a roster

532
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: that can compete. The Bears are building that now, right,

533
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: you look at it and for what they did in

534
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: this offseason, and again it's winning the offseason. Let's see

535
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 1: what happens once we actually have to blow a whistle

536
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: and play meaningful football. That isn't a preseason game that

537
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: you get to see a smattering of plays and decide,

538
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,479
Speaker 1: you know, the be all to end all of all, right,

539
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: you have to push in based on those eight plays

540
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: you saw, how do you feel?

541
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 4: Ah?

542
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: And then you scream it and come up with a

543
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: hot take. No, it's now, let's have some measured approach

544
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: and see how it goes through. You do have to

545
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 1: play the AFC North, including the aforementioned Browns, but you

546
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: know you've got a schedule that isn't very forgiving to

547
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: you as you go. But you built an offensive line

548
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: that was the first thing you addressed on paper.

549
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 4: That's great.

550
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,719
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams getting the tough love from Ben Johnson. That's great, Tyson.

551
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: Bagent's been there a couple of years. He's seen the

552
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 1: worst of it, and they watch enough and said, even

553
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: in spite of all of the horrid offensive coordinator work

554
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: that they had and the head coach that should not

555
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: have been, you know what is and what should not

556
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 1: have been, that they liked enough to say, all right,

557
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: we're keeping this guy around work ethic, whatever he showed

558
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: him in the classroom, whatever he's done at the whiteboard.

559
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 4: With Ben Johnson.

560
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean put yourself in a position to where

561
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 1: if Caleb Williams isn't there, you're not saying, all right,

562
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: seasons loss, We're hoping to find a guy on the

563
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: scrap heap, or we have to go get Kirk Cousins

564
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: to bring him back into this scenario and pay a

565
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 1: king's ransom to go get a guy. No, you've got

566
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: a guy in there at five million a year who's

567
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: very excited to be there and has known your team

568
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: and knows what it's all about and has won the

569
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: locker room. Yeah, it's the best of all scenarios. If

570
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: this guy stinks, I mean, he should be looking over

571
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 1: his shoulder right, nobody should feel that comfortable until your

572
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: year five, year six in the league. You should be

573
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: always looking over thinking so much taking your job. Caleb Williams,

574
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: Tyson Pagent, RG three and Kirk Cussins. I'm going to

575
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: get to explain to the generation who's just coming up

576
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: as football fans. I go, what was the RG three

577
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins about Grandpa? Well, let me tell you about that. Meanwhile,

578
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: as I said, we got another big NFL story coming

579
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: up in a few minutes. But this talk the last

580
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: few days because now you know, you saw the Rob

581
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: Manfred statement on Sunday Night Baseball that realignments coming to

582
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. Right, it's not coming tomorrow, it's not

583
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: after breakfast, but sometime they want to expand to thirty

584
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: two teams and potentially, you know, look, it could be Montreal,

585
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 1: it could be North Carolina, whatever it is. Yeah, they

586
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: could bring professional baseball to the Bronx. I did I

587
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: say that after we lost to the Nationals tonight. But

588
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: the number of pe because I can tell you what

589
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: to be scared about, because there's so many baseball fans

590
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: of every level scared out realignment number one, because they're

591
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: scared that. Look, baseball is steeped in so many traditions.

592
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: We're going to lose all these rivalries that we spent

593
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: all our lives growing up with. Okay, you know, these

594
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: divisions have been in place for twenty years. It's not

595
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 1: like it's been since eighteen ninety six, right, and we've

596
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: already changed everything else, So what's the difference. But you

597
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: get you get people who are scared of of the

598
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: trade because, look, baseball is steeped in tradition more than

599
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: any other sport, and I understand that you need to

600
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: be a little bit beholden to that, But the people

601
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: are scared of all what's going to happen to baseball.

602
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: Now We're going to get these eight four team divisions

603
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: all throughout baseball. It's going to be like the NFL.

604
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 1: And people, you know, fan seem to be scared, not

605
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: liking it. Like I saw a couple of looking and

606
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: look when you see baseball punnets who are over eighty

607
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: talking about it, you understand.

608
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 4: Okay, this is the because the sport they've grown up

609
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 4: in is now changing. Right.

610
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: This is the the John Henry line from the end

611
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: of Moneyball. You're you're you're threatening their jobs, you're threatening

612
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 1: their livelihoods. That's going But the thing to be scared of,

613
00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: because there is something to be scared of. And I

614
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: don't want to be here telling you should be scared,

615
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: but there is thing to be scared to tell you?

616
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 4: Are you? Are you reprising your your role of the

617
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 4: old man's sitting.

618
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 5: On Because what I'm scared of, right is that, Okay,

619
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 5: baseball is going to say we're gonna make this. What

620
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 5: Rob Mafford wants to do is have travel be easier,

621
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 5: rivalries be easier, make it all. I'm scared that if

622
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 5: because I don't want my team loaded up in a

623
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 5: division where it's going to be a knockdown, drag out,

624
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 5: bare knuckle boxing fight, blood on the floor, hair on

625
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 5: the walls to get to the playoffs, because that ain't fair,

626
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 5: because what are you already have that? What I'm looking

627
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 5: at me?

628
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: Come on, we got come on, man, we're okay. I

629
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: mean you got yeah, I got the Braves and the Phillies,

630
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: but that's fine. You know I got you got the

631
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: teams like the Nationals and the Marlins. But what I'm

632
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: scared of this is what all teams should be scared

633
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,719
Speaker 1: of is that all contenders teams that are in big markets,

634
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: that you're gonna load me up and make it make

635
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: it really difficult for me to get out of my division.

636
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,239
Speaker 1: Like the division is going to be the Mets and

637
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: the Yankees and the phill are all gonna be in

638
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: the same division, and you got to throw in the

639
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: next lotest probably is the Pirates. Right, you can have

640
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: those teams and ice one team that's terrible, but okay,

641
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: that's not really fair that you're throwing three big market

642
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: teams that spend a lot of money that are better

643
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: than most year in and year out, say hey, here's

644
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: how you make the playoffs win. Suddenly it's gonna be

645
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: the Brewers.

646
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 4: And the Reds and you know, and the and the

647
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 4: Rays or whatever, the Rays and the Marlins are gonna

648
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 4: be in the same division.

649
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: Where that's not fair, man. And that's what I'm afraid of,

650
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: is that bag, Because how can you say we're gonna

651
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna make it geographically beholden and make it great

652
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: for everybody, and not have the Mets and Yankees in

653
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: the same division, right, not have the White Sox and

654
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: Cubs and the same whatever. It's going to be all though,

655
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: Cubs fans and be happy with that. But that's what

656
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: I'm afraid. That's the real thing to be afraid for

657
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,239
Speaker 1: Most teams, like, yeah, hey, can't get any worse, right

658
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: if you're a if you're a team in the bottom

659
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: half of Major League Baseball, you're like, hey, maybe I

660
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: get lucky and I get in a division where we

661
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: can make some hay right now, who knows, maybe that

662
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: could happen.

663
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 4: Maybe the the.

664
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: The American League or the National League South is gonna

665
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: be the the Braves are gonna say, we're gonna get

666
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: the Marlins, We're gonna get the Rais, you know, who knows.

667
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: But that's what I'm afraid of, is that you're gonna

668
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: take that my team, who's a big market team, is

669
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: gonna get loaded up where it's gonna be. Hey, man,

670
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: come on, you can't really expect this is not a

671
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: fair fight where three of the biggest market teams and

672
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: the biggest spenders are gonna have to fight out with

673
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: each other every year to go to the playoffs, unless

674
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: you're adding wildcards, which you know, I got to hear

675
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: more of the plan.

676
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 4: But that's what I'm afraid of.

677
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 5: That suddenly my team's gonna get in a division where

678
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 5: it's really unfair to say, hey, here's how you're gonna

679
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 5: get out of it every year and get to the playoffs.

680
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: Well, just wait for part two of Rob Manver's plan

681
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: about the salary cap and here we go, or maybe

682
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: actually raising the floors so there is some competition. High pirates,

683
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: high white well white Sox have spent they just did

684
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: so terribly for a number of those years, and then realize,

685
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: well that did work, so why are we wasting money?

686
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: But all of that to say, look, the other is

687
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: to play my south Side Chicago hat is that. I

688
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: really hope the overtime has approved for all the extra

689
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: security and off police that will have to monitor those

690
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: series as they do each and every year as it

691
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: stands right now. Yeah, but I mean I don't want

692
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: to play I don't want to play the Yankees nineteen times.

693
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: Come on, man, No, but think, but think about what

694
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: where you came from. Right, we're just a few years

695
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: removed from that, Right, that unbalanced schedule that everybody hated,

696
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: especially in the say the Al East, how terrible that

697
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: was because you'd say, well, what are the Rays doing?

698
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 4: They've got nothing.

699
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: No, No, they were still winning ninety games a year,

700
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: and they were a perennial thorn in the side. And

701
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: occasionally you'd have the Orioles be good for a year.

702
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: We'll see if they can find any continuity with this

703
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: young core.

704
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 4: They have now.

705
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: But all of that to say, yeah, I mean, trying

706
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: to figure out what the competitive balances is certainly something

707
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: they've got to be taxed with, and trying to figure

708
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: out the economics of it is a big part of it.

709
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: Normally we try to distance ourselves what's on the field,

710
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: what's not. There's no way to do that. It's like

711
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 1: watching college football, all right, we start saying, well, what

712
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: what are the top twenty teams.

713
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 4: Who spends the most? Just put those on the board.

714
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 4: Just let's just do it.

715
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: Same thing with Major League Baseball nine times out of

716
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: ten unless the injury bug and that voodoo thing you

717
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: were doing earlier starts showing up in spades. But when

718
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: we're looking at it going forward, yeah, I would be concerned,

719
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: and I would certainly be lobbying if I'm if I'm

720
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: the Cohen, if I'm Sternsy and all the guys getting

721
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: in the room and saying Look, this is not good

722
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: for baseball because what you're gonna put all the haves

723
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: in one division to fight it out and someone else

724
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: gets a free pass because they happen to be twenty

725
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: million dollars bigger spenders than everybody else that's dragging their feet. No,

726
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: I mean, that's one of the big thresholds they have

727
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: to cross. But since we've changed everything else in baseball,

728
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: why not draw, you know, out of a hat or

729
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: a bingo tumbler.

730
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 4: Exit out about a Fresco exit swallen? Does they go?

731
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 4: That's what's to.

732
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: Be afraid of as a baseball fan. Time out to

733
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: find out what's trending in the wide world of sports.

734
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm someone who's been called the rob Manfred of Fox

735
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Oh wow, it's her goal in life to

736
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: give a hunk of medal to somebody important. Except instead

737
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: of a hunk of medal, it's a Dodgers bobblehead.

738
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 4: It's Monty blagyas.

739
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 8: No, now you're negative five el Robow.

740
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 4: Come on, Jason, Well, we have a lot of power

741
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 4: and you get paid a lot of money.

742
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 8: I mean, I guess, but man, you are the dumbest

743
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 8: commissioner out there.

744
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 4: No, no. Wow else, Look at that, Hey, Batman, you

745
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 4: moved up the list.

746
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, this guy. No, I'm always gonna hate uh Rob

747
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 8: Manfred because of twenty seventeen, just the way he handled

748
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 8: that cheating. I'm never gonna forget him. So anyway, we'll

749
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 8: move on here to baseball guys. Extra innings between the

750
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 8: Yankees and the Rays. It's the bottom of the tenth.

751
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 8: The Rays still have all of their outs and they

752
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 8: have a man on second and third. The Yankees managed

753
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 8: to extend their lead in the tenth inning. First it

754
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,959
Speaker 8: was Jehan Carlos Stan with a two run shot than

755
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 8: Austin Wells homeward for the second time in this game.

756
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 8: So Yankees up six to four of the tenth inning,

757
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 8: but again the Race have all their outs. Here. The

758
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 8: A's have taken the lead also in the tenth inning

759
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 8: against the Twins in Minnesota. It's now four to two

760
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 8: top of the tenth. The Rangers have taken the lead

761
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,919
Speaker 8: from the Royals six to three. Bottom of the ninth inning.

762
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 8: About to start in Kansas City, Reds and Angels tied

763
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 8: at one apiece after four Indians Padres are shutting out

764
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 8: the Giants at home three zero bottom of the third inning,

765
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 8: and it has been all Rockies so far against the

766
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 8: Dodgers in Colorado. Shoheo Twani started things off on the

767
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 8: mound for the Dodgers. He pitched five innings, gave up

768
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 8: nine hits and five earned runs. It's six to one

769
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 8: bottom of the eighth inning about to start in Colorado.

770
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 8: What happened earlier today? While the Nationals top the Mets

771
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 8: five to four and the Cubs held on four to

772
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 8: three against the Brewers and the Marlins, if he did

773
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 8: the Cardinals six to two, Kyle Schwarber home run number

774
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 8: forty five of the season. He leads the National League

775
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 8: now with that one, as the Phillies completed a three

825
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,879
Speaker 5: I know this? Hey, Yeah, he's always kind of been

826
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,399
Speaker 5: a guy on the periphery. He's been someone that's had

827
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 5: a really good career. And look, Schwarber's been a guy

828
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 5: that's been a fan favorite for a long time.

829
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,240

830
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,760

Speaker 5: Trey Turns leading off last year another home run five

832
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 5: RBI tonight. Kyle Schwarber is your National League MVP. And

833
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 5: not only that, it's not particularly close unless you just

834
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 5: want to be on the show Heyo Tani bandwagon, or

835
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 5: you still think that at some point Pete Crow Armstrong

836
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 5: is going to get a hit again. You know, Schwarber's

837
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 5: a guy, he leads a national league in homage. Yes,

838
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 5: it's a big wrestling match between him and Otani, but

839
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 5: he's got one hundred and nine RBI, right, I mean,

840
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 5: Otani isn't even within shouting distance of Schwarber.

841
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,720
Speaker 4: There. The Phillies are in first place.

842
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 5: His war, he's got a war of four, his ops

843
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 5: is near a thousand. I don't know that this isn't

844
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 5: one of those years where you have to really sit

845
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 5: back and say, you know, I really would love to

846
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:22,760
Speaker 5: give it to Otani.

847
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 4: Coud you want to give him reward, right, But if you're.

848
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 5: Looking at who the MVP is and here are the

849
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 5: Phillies at the top of the NL East, it's not

850
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 5: Bryce Harper, right like it is not Bryce Harper.

851
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 4: He's been hurt this year.

852
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 5: Kyle Schwarber has been absolutely carrying the Phillies, and it

853
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 5: seems like it's his time. Yes, you have the big

854
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 5: All Star Game performance, which, even though it's not gonna

855
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 5: count in the scoreboard, people are gonna think about that

856
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 5: in their minds. This seems to be Kyle Schwarber's year.

857
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 5: But right now you talk about MVP, I don't know

858
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 5: that it's particularly close with anybody else in the National League.

859
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,040
Speaker 1: Well, the beauty of it all is we've got a

860

875
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,879
