Speaker 2: Though?

30
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 3: Aaron Judge, I mean he carried the flag and then

31
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 3: then then he pretty much dropped. Never let a guy

32
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 3: named Aaron in New York carry the flag before.

33
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 4: Never, never again. Never. Don't let him do it again.

34
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 4: Can't let him do it, can't do it?

35
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 3: Uh.

36
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: Now, before we get to the big quarterback news, you

37
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: just to show you the difference in football and basketball, right,

38
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: like you always hear the same thing it comes to

39
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: college football and college basketball. Oh they get all the love,

40
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: they get all the attention, they get everything. Okay, they

41
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: also pay for all the other sports. But okay, I

42
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: get it, I understand.

43
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 3: No.

44
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: But like people talk about football and basketball college football,

45
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: college basketball like they're both the same, Like they're both

46
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: exactly the same.

47
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 4: Yeah you know, yeah, you have.

48
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: Your your heritage football teams, you have your heritage basketball team.

49
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 4: They're the same.

50
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: Right, North Carolina basketball same thing as Michigan football.

51
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 4: Right.

52
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: LSU football is the same thing as USCLA Basketball. Yeah,

53
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: there's no more evidence to know how wrong you are

54
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: about that than just to know that here was the

55
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: decision that North Carolina had today to replace Hubert Davis

56
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: as their head coach. Now it's a decision, all right,

57
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: you gotta replace them because you know you gotta pay

58
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: them all this stuff. Hubert Davis was fired and part

59
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: of the news story despite the fact he has still

60
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: owed five million dollars by the Universe five million.

61
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 3: Can we find one guy to cut it?

62
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: I feel like Dave Portnoy, That's what's those are That's

63
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: couch cushions money, bro right, Like we're talking about Michigan's

64
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: five that's couch cushion money.

65
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 4: Like, okay, you're.

66
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: Talking about we can't get rid of guys at USC

67
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: like Lincoln Riley because the buyouts ninety million, eighty five million.

68
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: Here's and you know they still gotta find out still

69
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: gotta pay Hubert Davis that five million. It's like, really,

70
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: that's a thing, Like we care about that. That's like that,

71
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: that's like that's like that's like found money. Oh we

72
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: only have to pay him five million. Oh awesome, Oh

73
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: that's great. Hey, we really did the right thing. Well,

74
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: we're not stuck over a barrel with some what we

75
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: gotta pay some guy. We only gotta pay Hubert Davis

76
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: five million dollars.

77
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 3: Do you think someone wish they didn't have to put

78
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 3: that in the article?

79
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 4: Though?

80
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 3: That it, you know, was a more agonizing like if

81
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 3: you're Hubert Davis and and everybody, don't you want it

82
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 3: to be like, hey, they really had to grapple with

83
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 3: whether to get rid of me or not when it's

84
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: five million dollars. And that's really the cavalier area that

85
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 3: we've hit in sports, like five million whatever, because normally

86
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 3: it's like you said, the Lincoln Riley, like even Mick

87
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 3: Cronin when he threw his guy out of the gym

88
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 3: and and folks are still mad at him. And after

89
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 3: the exit, eily, you missing one of your stars. But

90
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 3: to go and get beaten like they did by Danny

91
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 3: Hurley and company. And then you're at the press or going,

92
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 3: you know, what do you need to change? And instead

93
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 3: of addressing anything you might need to do as a

94
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 3: coaching staff, you said I need five million dollars. Someone

95
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 3: tries to ask you the next question and you repeat,

96
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 3: five million dollars. His buyout goes from twenty one to eighteen,

97
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 3: still a sizeable amount of money before you scratch the

98
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 3: next check. And as we know, some of the major

99
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 3: benefactors for that university have their own issues going on.

100
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 3: I don't know that they're reaching back into their pockets

101
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 3: for at the athletic terms right now.

102
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: I mean, but just just think about this, right, all

103
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: the top college football coaches in the country, the buy

104
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: or mens, they're all in the eighty ninety million dollar range.

105
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: Here are some buyouts, okay for some of the coaches

106
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: right now if you want them in college basketball right again,

107
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: to show you the difference between football and basketball. John

108
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: Calla Perry's buy out at Arkansas is twenty million, right,

109
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: twenty million for John copt one of the most successful

110
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: coaches we have seen in the history of the sport.

111
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: Jump to Arkansas has them in the sweet sixteen twenty million.

112
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: You want to buy out Tom Izzo at Michigan State,

113
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: one of the best coaches we've seen. Seven million dollars

114
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: to buy out Tom Izzo. That's what it is, okay.

115
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: I mean, Mick Cronin's buy out at UCLA is ten million.

116
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: I mean, there's the people that would have put money

117
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: up on that up until a couple of weeks ago.

118
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: But look, you look at some of these guys, like

119
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: their buyouts are. Matt Painters buyout at Purdue is twenty

120
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: million dollars right, Like Like Fred Hoiberg's got Nebraska. Now

121
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,119
Speaker 1: you know, all of a sudden, we're a basketball school.

122
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: Look how good we are. They got Iowa and when

123
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: it should be playing football in this one, his buyout's

124
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,119
Speaker 1: eighteen million, right. Kelvin Sampson has Houston the top five

125
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: the last five years of college basketball. Kelvin Sampson's buyout

126
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: is nine million, right Like this this is just the

127
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: difference between college basketball and college football. You think about,

128
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: these are one of the top coaches all across the board,

129
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: and these are their buyout.

130
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 3: Jerry MacNamara's buyouts like one thousand bucks.

131
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 4: Uh No, it's not that.

132
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: It's it's a couple of Subways, sandwiches, stamp cards and

133
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: a free diet code.

134
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 3: No, I'm actually reading it here. It's a thousand.

135
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 4: Dollars, So just get that.

136
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: That's what it is. The biggest one. Danny Hurley his

137
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: buyout is forty two million, So that's a good chunk

138
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: of change, right, But yeah, obviously, winning two national championships

139
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: in the last five years and getting wooed by the

140
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: Lakers getting the new contract, you figure his would be

141
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: a lot. But everybody else it's like, wow, can you

142
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,559
Speaker 1: imagine the top five or six college football coaches.

143
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 4: The buyouts are what I told you.

144
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: Twenty million, ten million, seven million, Like teams would be

145
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: lined up to say, hey, we'll buy you out of

146
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: your deal and give you all kinds more money than that.

147
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: That's all the buyout is. Yeah, So when you talk

148
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: about football and basketball, it's really football, and then it's basketball,

149
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: and then it's everything.

150
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 3: Ques yea John Sorry, real quick question on Dan Hurley. Yeah,

151
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 3: is Yukon and Saint john split it? Ah?

152
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 4: Wow wow.

153
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 3: Uh.

154
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: That gets us to the next topic in college basketball,

155
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:29,239
Speaker 1: which is exactly what Justin Frosberg said. Danny Hurley, Yukon

156
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: head coach, wants the fans of Yukon and Saint John's

157
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: to team up during the Sweet Sixteen games, so each

158
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: fan base roots on the other so they can have

159
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: basically home court advantage in their games. Saint John's, of course,

160
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: plays Duke and Danny Hurley plays Michigan State and Danny

161
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: Hurley's words, so we can have a big brawl on Sunday,

162
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: a big, Big East brawl. So one of the winners

163
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: there gets to the Final four. Right, Like all of

164
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: a sudden, Dan Hurley is, I'm all mister Big East, right,

165
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: I love the Big East. I'm I'm I bleed Big

166
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: East Blue or whatever it is.

167
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 3: Is he trying to be don king. I mean he's

168
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 3: setting up a fight and setting up a pay per view.

169
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 3: This is what I call a loak topic, a load

170
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 3: of crap. Okay, because I tell Danny Hurley take a walk, man,

171
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 3: beat it. I know exactly what you're doing. First of all,

172
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 3: as a fan, I'm never gonna team up with fans

173
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 3: of a team that I've been rooting against for my

174
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 3: entire life just to oh, hey, you'll root for us,

175
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 3: I'll root for you.

176
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 4: What are you stupid?

177
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: That's not gonna I can't suddenly just say as a saint,

178
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: John's IM gonna start rooting for Yukon and you're gonna

179
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: root for me. Like if Syracuse was playing in a

180
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: game on Thursday night and Georgetown was playing and and

181
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: and and it was thrown out there, Hey Syracuse and

182
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: Georgetown's fans unite so we could have a great, big

183
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: East brawl on Sunday. I ain't rooting for Georgetown. I'm

184
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: not doing that. Nobody's doing that. Man, that's just stupid.

185
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: You're not gonna do that. But I know why Danny

186
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: Hurley's doing it. And I hope if Saint John's wins

187
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: against Duke, Rick Patino puts this in his pocket and

188
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: throws this out there. Because I know exactly what Danny

189
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: Hurley is doing. Danny Hurley's trying to Hey, if this

190
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: works and the home court advantage works for Saint John's

191
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: and they can pull the upset, I have much more

192
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: confidence that we can beat Saint John's to get to

193
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: the Final four than I do beating Duke. Now, granted,

194
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: of course you would. Duke is one of the top

195
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: two or three teams in the country overall, and you

196
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: know Saint John's a lot better.

197
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 4: You played them three times.

198
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, they beat you twice, but you beat them, you know,

199
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: but you played them three times, you know them better.

200
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: Danny Hurley knows I have a much better shot again

201
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: to the final four if I play Saint John's and

202
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: if I play Duke. So if I can throw this

203
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: out there and get fans to stay and maybe a

204
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: couple of foul calls go Saint John's way. The bench

205
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: plays better because it's more of a hometown thing. All

206
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: the things we talk about the NBA, the advantages for

207
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: having home court, Hey, and that helps Saint John's get

208
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: to the game on Sunday. That just helps me because

209
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: I know we can beat Saint John's. And that's what

210
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: I if. I'm Rick Patino, I put that away and

211
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: after they beat Duke on Thursday to go out and say,

212
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: you know, Dan Hurley wants to play us because he

213
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: thinks he can beat us. Right, that's the only reason

214
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: why he's not doing this out of the goodness of

215
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: his heart. He's not saying you should look at the

216
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: tattoos I have of former Big East legends of the past.

217
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: I got guys my Seaton Hall teammates, and the dove

218
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: Hennefeld I got his tattoo.

219
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,239
Speaker 4: Here are Tourist.

220
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: Carnichiavus, Oliver Taylor, all these great Seaton Hall legends.

221
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 4: I got tattoos. Man Big East, oh, I got the

222
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 4: Big East.

223
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: I got the all biggiest first team of the nineties,

224
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: all tattooed across my back.

225
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 4: Man, I am all big East. That is a load

226
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 4: of crap.

227
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: He's only doing this because he thinks he can beat

228
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: He has a better chance of beating Saint John's and

229
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: he's being openly brazen about it. I tell him to

230
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: beat it, and I hope because I say, Rick Patino

231
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: beat Beating a duke is like a fat of complete

232
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: like I said, Okay, and put this in your pipe

233
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: and hold on to this for the game when you play,

234
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: if you play Yukon on Sunday.

235
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's a fun little exercise in trying

236
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 3: to set up well, we don't we both don't like duke,

237
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 3: so let's eliminate them and then we battle for it.

238
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's the triple threat match WWE or

239
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 3: or TNA styled right that we get into and fight

240
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 3: it out. All right, Let's get rid of this behemoth first,

241
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 3: and now it's the battle for the championship belts. Yeah,

242
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 3: I'm writing the the undercard, same thing.

243
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 4: Air.

244
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 3: I mean, he's a fight promoter, he's Dana White, he's

245
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 3: Don King, He's he's the McMahon's or Triple h or

246
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 3: whoever's running the show to try to get you to

247
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 3: the main event. And yes, your your point about trying

248
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 3: to do anything to get Duke out of the way. Familiarity, right,

249
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 3: you know you've seen the opponent a couple of times

250
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 3: in Saint John's, So with Duke a little bit different,

251
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 3: a little little different animal that you have to approach

252
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 3: with what Shires bringing to the table and that squad.

253
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 3: But for Danny Hurley, he's he's a guy that likes

254
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 3: to talk on the sideline, and certainly in his pressers

255
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 3: the emotions are are not far below the surface. I

256
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 3: was thinking he was more kind of like Brendan Gleason

257
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 3: in gangs in New York, where he's got his giant

258
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 3: club and the notches of guys that he's taken out

259
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 3: along the way, more so than commemorating any of them.

260
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 4: He's like Nagan and business as a boom in with

261
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 4: my bat.

262
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and I love the fact that here's

263
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: Danny Hurley, right, And think about this if you're Tom

264
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: Izzo right, talk about taking stuff and using it.

265
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 4: His motivation.

266
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: Oh, Danny Hurley's talking about already playing a game on Sunday.

267
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: He's got to play us on Thursday.

268
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 4: Night.

269
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: Right, he's treating this like, Yeah, after we win this game,

270
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 1: we're gonna move on. Danny Hurley, who I gave advice

271
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: to about not leaving college basketball and not joining the Lakers.

272
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: Like if I'm tom Izzo, he's provided that kind of

273
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: bulletin board material for me as well going into the game, going, Oh,

00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: can beat Saint John's. Now I'm gonna throw it out

289
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 3: and neither is my team. And it was said with

290
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 3: all the terseness and anger understanding, right like the Slow

291
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 3: Mafia Don kind of saying his piece or Michael k

292

Speaker 3: depending on which way you wanted to go. But you

293
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 3: don't think he's gonna use that. Absolutely, he's gonna use that.

00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 3: totally changed how my freshman year went. For sure, Mike

Speaker 3: there is he Yeah, how about that? He said that break.

349
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,679

354
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 3: We'll talk about it on the show.

355
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 4: Speaking of.

356
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: What exactly a reward is the reward for Joe Flacco

357
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,959
Speaker 1: continuing to play well enough at quarterback when he is

358
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: thrust in for whatever reason means he's coming back for

359
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: at least one more year. He is returning to back

360
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: up Joe Burrow with the Bengals this season.

361
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 3: Should he have left after his Pro Bowl appearance seven nine, though.

362
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco coming back again. Jerry McNamara, the same age

363
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,959
Speaker 1: named Syracuse's head coach today in basketball.

364
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 4: Okay, that's the difference, right.

365
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: If you I mean really, at some point you have

366
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: to think, if I'm a starting quarterback and we signed

367
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, something's gonna happen, Like I'm gonna lose my

368
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 1: job or I'm gonna get hurt, because no matter what,

369
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco finds a way to start like five to

370
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 1: six games a year, right, no matter what it is, right,

371
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: no matter what it is.

372
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, five games a year. That's what we

373
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 4: got right here. I can't believe it.

374
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I really, you have to put that over

375
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: under there for him at five and a half games

376
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 1: and think, Okay, I'm gonna take the over because somehow

377
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: I just know he's going to play.

378
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 3: No. I think there's something to that, There's no question

379
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 3: about it. One of the fun things this last football

380
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 3: season doing the Sunday Morning Show with Greg Cosell and

381
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 3: we go through the games and the big storylines. He's

382
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 3: gotten to know, you know, Joe Flacco out on the

383
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 3: East Coast a little bit in NFL films and chatting

384
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 3: with him through the years. He goes, you know, that guy,

385
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 3: as long as the rest of his body holds up,

386
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 3: that arm will keep doing what it's doing. UNTI least

387
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 3: seventy so we might see him for a while based

388
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 3: on indeed at quarterback because we've talked about it a lot,

389
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 3: sixty five people through at least one touchdown pass a

390
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 3: year ago, Joe Flacco was.

391
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 4: One of them.

392
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 3: He might be around him a while.

393
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 4: Right it started for the.

394
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 3: Browns that he starts six games for the Bengals, comes

395
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 3: back to the Bengals. Joe Burrow, if he's gonna run

396
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 3: around on a flag football field, I don't know how

397
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 3: long he's holding up there, and that offensive line. Sure

398
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 3: is hell didn't get any better.

399
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: No, that is true, but it doesn't mean this is

400
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: why Joe Flacco was there. Oh okay, we got Joe

401
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: Flacco here.

402
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 4: We're good.

403
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 3: It's not a bad break glass in case of emergency

404
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 3: kind of guy. Though, right on the grand scale what

405
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 3: everybody else does with their backups and third string quarterbacks,

406
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 3: you know, we should have just gone and signed Flacco.

407
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 3: I don't think our young kids can can handle having

408
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 3: him in that line. It might be a great guy,

409
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 3: but they know he's coming for his.

410
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 4: Jeb Fleco Fleco still eat Fleco. Well, hey, hey, I'll

411
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 4: tell you man.

412
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: I mean to think about him and having this career

413
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: that he has been able to just be able to craft,

414
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: not just the end of his career one time, but

415
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: like five times, Like this is like the fifth time

416
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: I thought his career was over and still nope. He's

417
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: like he's like a better Vinnie testa Verdi. Like Vinnie

418
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: testa Verdi at the end was fifty five years old,

419
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: he was still starting games like Carolina started. The Jets

420
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: brought him back again, like Joe Flacco is saying, yeah, Testaverdi,

421
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: you're a rookie man. Look what I'm doing here at

422
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: forty one different teams. I'm still finding a way to play,

423
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: and I'm still finding a way to play well. Like

424
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 1: you can put me out there and I'm not. It's

425
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: not gonna be where hey, I'm gonna go, you know,

426
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: thirteen for twenty seven for one hundred and sixty nine yards.

427
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 4: No, no, no, I'll.

428
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: Go twenty seven for forty one for two hundred and

429
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: ninety and two touchdowns and two picks. I'll give you

430
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: some offense, man, don't worry about I can still do that.

431
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: Like his career was over like eight years ago, and

432
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: here it is eight years later and he is still

433
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 1: playing more than guys who came in that were drafted

434
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: in the first round by teams and now they've been

435
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: out of the.

436
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 4: League for four or five years and he's still in

437
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 4: the league.

438
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 3: Mighty impressive, no question about it. The similarity to Vinnie Testaverdi.

439
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 3: Great hair, but also the arm strength that never waned.

440
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, man, Congratulations Joe Flacco, who is back

441
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,280

Speaker 1: Last year, I love the Red Sox as a wild

466
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: card team. They had a great lineup there. Pitching was well,

467
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: we'll figure it out.

468
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 4: Now.

469
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 1: Their lineup is not quite as good as it was

470
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: last year, but it's still really good. And look, Roman

471
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: Anthony is is clearly on the Wan Soto path of

472
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: being an MLB superstar by the time he's twenty two

473
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: years old. Right, You saw the big role he was

474
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 1: playing for Team USA and the World Baseball Classic, Like,

475
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: his assent is meteoric, and he's gonna more than make

476
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: up for the couple of bats they lost, right. Obviously,

477
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: losing Bragman's a big deal because it's not like Bregman's

478
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: a you know, thirty five to one to twenty guy, Right,

479
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: I think Bragman's a little bit overpaid, gonna give you

480
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 1: great defense, obviously, but it was a mess last year

481
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: with him and Devors and all that stuff. But they'll

482
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: hit enough. But their rotation has become the best rotation

483
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: in the American League. And Crochetes a cy young favorite.

484
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: And the Yankees really didn't do anything in this offseason.

485
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: They're hoping that we bring the same guys back and

486
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: we get Garrett coleback and we're gonna be good.

487
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 4: And it doesn't work that way.

488
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 1: Does not work that way, right, The Blue Jays are

489
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: gonna try to stay at the level they're at. They

490
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 1: had a couple of big losses this year. They're gonna

491
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: miss Bobashett in a big way. So yeah, give me

492
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: the Red Sox with their changes, the ascension of Anthony,

493
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: what they have with their pitching staff right now, Boston

494
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 1: Red Sox middle of the pack right now in the

495
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: American League. All right, say the top third of the

496
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: pack as far as odds wise. But give me them

497
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: to go to the world here.

498
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you look at the Red Sox right now at

499
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 3: sixteen to one, and a nice shot for you. I

500
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 3: go to twenty two to one, and I go a

501
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 3: little bit down the ladder here to the Detroit Tigers.

502
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 3: Something espoused a little bit and are guy John Palm

503
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 3: Morosi agrees with me. And I don't know if that's

504
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 3: just home cooking because he wants to curry favor with

505
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 3: his dad. For me, I have no allegiance to them

506
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 3: except for to say that they're the class of the division.

507
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 3: And when you look at the front line starters in

508
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 3: Valdez alongside Schooble, I think it's delicious theater because if

509
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 3: they're doing well, then Detroit's either got to really pay

510
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 3: out to schoogble or you know, they watch him walk away,

511
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 3: which would be the worst of all things to come

512
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 3: up potentially just short late in the season. But mcgonagall's

513
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 3: gonna be there, shortstop. Insert all our Harry Potter jokes there.

514
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 3: They got a bunch of bashers in the middle of

515
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 3: that lineup. We'll see if they get the consistency of

516
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 3: that run scoring and run generation to go along with

517
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 3: the starting pitching. But all in at twenty two to one,

518
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 3: I think those are some decent odds to make some Hey.

519
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh no, Look, I love the Tiger. I just

520
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: they need to hit. It's like every year they just

521
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 1: hit just enough a.

522
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 3: Lot of side.

523
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like we hit just enough to get

524
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: into the playoffs and hope that we can hit just

525
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: enough every playoff game to score three runs or two

526
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: runs and win. Like this is the Tiger's strategy. But look,

527
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: getting Framber Valdez. Look, I love the Tigers. They're set

528
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: for either way. Either they're making a big push and

529
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 1: and schoobles a Tiger, or they're out of it, in

530
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: which case they're trading them and they're getting a ransom

531
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: form to keep it going. In Detroit, look, they know

532
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: at the end of the year, this is this is

533
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: schoobls last year. They would signed him if they wanted to. Instead,

534
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: they went out and signed fram Ravaldez.

535
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 4: Right. They didn't sign Framra.

536
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: Valdez to say, hey, we're giving this guy one hundred

537
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: and fifty million dollars, then we're gonna give Tarik school

538
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty million.

539
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 4: They didn't do that.

540
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: They signed Valdez knowing full well this is the last

541
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 1: year with schoobl and they know that it's either the

542
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: full year and the playoffs or we're trading him at

543
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: the deadline. Valdez is our ace. He's really dependable and

544
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: he's a great pitcher. He's the guy we're going forward

545
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: with after this year. We're gonna try to keep it going.

546
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, I like a little bit of a we

547
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: know this is our last chance. Right, Verlander is back

548
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: and it's emotional, it's it's something fun to go through

549
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: this year.

550
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 4: No, I'm looks.

551
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: I'd love to see the Tigers make it all the

552
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: way through again and uh and make a run man,

553
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: that really would be something.

554
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 3: Well, I want to see Scott Boras walking around the

555
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 3: clubhouse doing the Glenn Fry money sign gonna pay, I know,

556
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 3: I know.

557
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 1: Now to the National League and the Dodgers, Yes, well,

558
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: well the Dodgers of the World Series minus five, yeah, series.

559
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 1: There's no other pick, right there, really is, there's no

560
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: other pick.

561
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 3: No, they're plus two hundred for that. Otani is minus one.

562
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 1: Envy I do want to say, because this is gonna

563
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: be about Otani. But you know, the Phillies are a team,

564
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,479
Speaker 1: and I know John Paul Morosi said, Hey, the Phillies

565
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: are a team that could go either way this year. Oh,

566
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: I do not see a lot of great things.

567
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 4: I know that.

568
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: I feel like like the experts are up on the

569
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: Phillies just because they've been good for the past five years,

570
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 1: but they have lost a lot and to suddenly think

571
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 1: making Bryce Harper mad means we're gonna start, We're gonna

572
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: win twenty more games like I have. There there's a

573
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: much better odds at the Phillies fall and free fall

574
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: and have a bad year in the division, like a

575
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: Braves year where guys got hurt couple of years ago,

576
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: and then they realize we have to retool our lineup

577
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: now things aren't going our way. Like I really could

578
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: see a drop off for the Phillies in a large

579
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: way this year.

580
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 3: Would you believe they're the third favorite in the National

581
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 3: League right now?

582
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, sixteen to one.

583
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 3: They're ahead of the Cubs and the Braves.

584
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: Telling you, man, I am not I am not that

585
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: in on the Phillies. Man, I'm mooring on them dropping off.

586
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: But when it comes to Otani, right, I'll gu you

587
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: this bold prediction, He's won the MVP. Whatever he wants

588
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: to do, he does right. Whatever he wants to He

589
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: wanted to be a fifty to fifty guy. He stole

590
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: fifty eight bases a couple of years ago. What did

591
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: he do last year? Not even close? Right, He's a

592
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: guy that's looking for challenges. What is motivating him? And

593
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: all I have heard out of Dodgers camp this year

594
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: is how motivated he is to show that he is

595
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: still a superstar pitcher. Now, he's had a couple of

596
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: years of not a lot of usage. Obviously coming off

597
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: the UCL injury. He didn't pitch his first year. He

598
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: pitched a little bit last year Today eleven strikeouts and

599
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: four innings in his final tune up. And it's going

600
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,959
Speaker 1: to take him a little bit to build his arm

601
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: up because he had to cut back to be able

602
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: to DH during the World Baseball Classic. But give me,

603
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: sho hey Otani, your National League CY Young Award winner

604
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six, he'll be a CY Young Awa war.

605
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: Well that's easy. I mean, come on, if I say

606
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: Showtani and l m v P, that's easy, man.

607
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 3: But give me a big bold prediction.

608
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: Well, the thing is he's got to get the innings.

609
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: He's got to be able to you know, you're worried

610
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: about his arm and being able to pitch. And this

611
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: is science Figures of the season. Well it's science, but

612
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: for pitching there's a little bit more of a risk.

613
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, he does have a guy

614
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: that's as good a pitcher or better than him and

615
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: Paul Skeins I know, well I know, but unfortunately that game.

616
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 3: And he didn't play.

617
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 4: The Mets No.

618
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: Angels scenes is still gonna be is still the favorite

619
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: right now. But you can just see how Otani pitching

620
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: to otani capabilities being motivated for this to be the

621
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: year to show I can be the CY Young Award winner.

622
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,840
