Speaker 1: woke up this mort right away when I turned my

32
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: phone on, because I was, you know, I go to

33
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: I go to sleep, and I always turned my phone

34
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: off because I have so many people in my wife's

35
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: family that just really after being in LA for thirty years,

36
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: don't understand that if they send a text at seven

37
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: in the morning, it's four o'clock in the morning here.

38
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: So I always turn my phone off. And every time

39
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: when I turn the phone on, you know, in the morning,

40
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: I usually get a couple of text messages. You know,

41
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: you and Frostburg send stuff. But when I turn on

42
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: my phone and it's I know, okay, something has happened

43
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: with the Mets or the Jets most likely, or the Knicks, right,

44
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: I know, but today I knew I'm gonna come up.

45
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, okay, yep, yep, yep, yep, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

46
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: yeah yeah.

47
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: Bobby Benia, Well, what do we always say on the show,

48
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 3: We want to be loved or hated, don't be indifferent.

49
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 3: So either that's love or it's hate. Because in the end,

50
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 3: you did end up with David Wright because of all

51
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 3: of that.

52
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, we did. It's just so there is a

53
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: lot of positivity into it, and they were able to

54
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: make some other moves over the course of the period

55
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: by just and that money stayed in an account as

56
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: opposed to being paid out to Bobby Benia, So all

57
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: in all it worked out. Okay, yeah, Bibe, who gets

58
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: one point one nine million or actually more than that

59
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: because I saw a T shirt today them going to

60
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: buy That's just it's Mets orange and is one point

61
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: six for like the exact amount that Bobby Bania gets

62
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: paid every every July first for the Mets U. I saw,

63
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: I got to get that T shirt. That's an awesome

64
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: T shirt.

65
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, because he also gets money I think through the Orioles. Yeah,

66
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 3: I mean Ked Griffy still was on the payroll for

67
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 3: the Reds. I mean there's a bunch of guys get money.

68
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 3: But Benia has become the patron saying of this, uh,

69
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 3: this artistry.

70
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: And I love the fact that it's so easy every

71
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: year to find on the internet. Like like it's like

72
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: when you see it, go to a news site and

73
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: they have a sports story that we all know because

74
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: we're sports fans, but you know, people reading news don't

75
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: know sports have to explain stuff why Tom Brady do it.

76
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, everybody knows this, right, But I love

77
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: that every Bobby Benia day you can find pretty easy

78
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,800

Speaker 1: paid one point point one nine million, thought people, And

81
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: it's in education. It's here what happened in the you know,

82
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: but Bobby Benia played for the Mets, and then it's

83
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: why it happened, how it happened. It's happened since Like

84
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: it's all about education, Like if you want to learn

85
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: about it, it is that they give you an article

86
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,440

00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 3: The way it does the again, the Hampton to David Wright,

90
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 3: stuff's usually buried in like the fourteenth parent. Yeah, because

91
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 3: it's it's kind of like the pictures and Moneyball. Yeah,

92
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 3: that people commediately forget about. Oh what a great story.

93
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 3: Look at what they did.

94
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: It's like they had three of the best pictures. Yeah,

95
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: twenty years, but that that kills the romances. Yeah, absolutely,

96
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: And Miguel Tahata was the MVP. Yeah.

97
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 3: Here's my favorite, though, is the the convergence of our

98
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 3: our sports run on social media to the trading cards

99
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,000

00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 3: their favorite Bobby Menia cards. He's got some doozy there's

101
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 3: a couple of where he's got like this giant shades

102
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,559
Speaker 3: on that take up like three quarters of his face.

103
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and he's pointing in smile and it's like, yeah,

104
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 3: that might be the quintessential, quintessential photo for what we're

105
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 3: talking about today.

106
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: You can learn all about Bobby Benia Day. It's like,

107
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: I don't even educate, we can inform. Oh yeah, and

108
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: really and I don't know why. I guess since we

109
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: started talking about this a couple of years ago, I

110
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: always think, you know, I had this vision in my

111
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: head that Okay, when will I retire from doing what

112
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: I'm doing?

113
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 4: Right?

114
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: And always said, okay, maybe the last Bobby Benia day, right,

115
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: which is twenty thirty five, the last time he'll get paid, right?

116
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, do I do I try it? I mean, okay,

117
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: do I try to go to the last Bobbyia day?

118
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: Do I try to do it earlier? Do I want

119
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: to really do it I'm Bobby Benia day and share

120
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: that day with him? Or do I want to do

121
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: it the day after Bobby Benia like? Which, Like, I

122
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: don't know, and I would I think about that a lot,

123
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: like this is probably the day of the year I

124
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: think about, you know, what I want to do? How

125
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: much longer I want to do it? Yeah, I'm still

126
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: enjoying it, loving and having fun, but you making it

127
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: to the end, like that would be real. I'd be

128
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: sixty five at that point, Like I'd make it to

129
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: the end. But I'm like, you know, maybe not so

130
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: much on Maybe it's maybe sixty two is where I

131
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: should go. But I feel like, yeah, Bobby Benita day,

132
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: I just sit I spend the whole day and listening

133
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: to all old songs. You know. Ah, that's what it is.

134
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: Think about think about life, think about the future, think

135
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: about what you have ahead of you. And I started

136
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: thinking today, and the big thing was that I said, oh,

137
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna do that, right, if I'm not Knockwood, right,

138
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: if I because you know, you make plans and God laughs, Right,

139
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: so if they say if I so, if I say, okay,

140
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: twenty you know, twenty thirty five, right for Bobby Benita, Okay,

141
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: that means I would have starting for today. That means

142
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: I would have less than ten years to do what

143
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: you did to finish, you know, working right to do that.

144
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: And I think, wow, okay. And sometimes it seems like

145
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: a long time. Other times it seems like it's nothing.

146
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: It's going to have been doing this for you know,

147
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: two decades now. But I just it's always that day.

148
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: Like I I don't think about it on my birthday.

149
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: I don't think about it on Christmas. I don't think

150
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: about it on January first. Like Bobby Benia day gives me,

151
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 1: gives me that lou read feel of just you know,

152
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: listening to songs and just want to just want to

153
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: think back about life and really just give you one

154
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: of those songs that they play at the end of

155
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: The Bear all the time. It really makes you want

156
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: to think about what life is doing to you and

157
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: the choice you make. Because The Bear is all about

158
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: music montages. Because the scripts of The Bear are like

159
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: fifteen pages long and it contains like six or seven

160
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: music montages, which songs are just sad that you don't

161
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: really know. That's the Bear. Oh, by the way, congratulations,

162
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: I'm being renewed for season five even though the show

163
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: is stunt for a year and a half, so to

164
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: say that's kind of what it's at right now. You

165
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: got no value out of this season. No, I'm four

166
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: episodes in and nothing has still happened. Man, nothing has

167
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: still happened. You gotta say there is one episode that

168
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: will redeem it. Okay, but the rest was the Christmas episode,

169
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: which was amazing, But the rest of it, it's they had.

170
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: The first season was sad. The second season was really good,

171
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: and then they ran out of I guess I can't

172
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: keep watching them make food and think that it's it's

173
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: an incredible new thing, like you're doing the same thing

174
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: and there's no plot, no plot, No, I can explain

175
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: everything that's happened in the Bear for the last year

176
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: and a half in fifteen seconds. Hey, I'm not gonna

177
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:05,840

186
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do the rest of this season, but that

187
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: might be that really might be it. Like I'm they're

188
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: all contractually obligated to come back, which is why season

189
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: five green. I'm just I think if they had to

190
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: renegotiate with all of them and pay the rates they

191
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: would get now, because look, Carbie's gonna get an Oscar

192
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: nomination from all reports based of course, we got the

193
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: thing coming out here in a couple of weeks. They're

194
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: all they're all done. They're all done, They've all seemed

195
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: like they and clearly the one who's most done is

196
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: for Store or the Right, because it's just I mean, really,

197
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: I could write an entire season of The Bear in

198
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: one day, well but a lot of the day. All right,

199
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: here's your set. Script is twelve pages long, and it's

200
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: just all it is is just a way for me

201
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: to get from one music montage the next, like Rocky four,

202
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: just get from one music montage to the next.

203
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 3: I need more plant and I needed more Poulter. Yeah,

204
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 3: that's what I needed out of this season. Five minute

205
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 3: music montage to start to a three minute scene. So

206
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 3: three pages of dialogue, another five minute music montage.

207
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: It's all I need. I don't even need dialogue, it's

208
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: just car me chops up carrots. How long is that?

209
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: Like a minute? That half? Okay? Okay, yeah, okay, like

210
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: I had to want, Like, like, I just finished watching Scallops.

211
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, if I really I'm watching Iowa to Beer.

212
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, is she really I'm watching this for like

213
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: two and a half minutes making a scallop? I'm really

214
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: watching this? Like this is this was like season one? Okay,

215
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, come on, man, come on, what if it's

216
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: do to you, I'd rather if you just don't you

217
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: just read the Skrzyzewsky book again. If you're gonna show

218
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: me something else, I'm like, come on you, I've seen this.

219
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: Give me something new, Like Bobby Benia day. We've had

220
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: Bobby Beania day. It's still happening there, it is. What

221
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:05,599
Speaker 1: do you think of that you show me? That's a

222
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: picture of Bobby ninety two. That's a Pinnacle page. So

223
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: they had like one guy from each team where you

224
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: see the reflection of them with their their hitting or

225
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: whatever in their shades. It's pretty cool. It's just instead

226
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: of that, it should just be money signs for Bobby

227
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 1: ben Well.

228
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 3: Eventually, I think we can do an altered card with

229
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 3: that one. But certainly, Yeah, I understand your vexation with

230
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 3: the bear, but yeah, twenty thirty five would be great.

231
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 3: I love your romanticism of it though, just kind of

232
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 3: thinking about this larger world, getting your musical montage and

233
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 3: me I sit in traffic, I go I'm done the romanticism.

234
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 3: It's like on a day to day. I love you,

235
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 3: I love this. This is great. It's the greatest thing.

236
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 3: And then I'll have that day where I'm like, yeah, no.

237
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: It's Benia Day. I gotta go talk about Bobby Bania.

238
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: How could you not be romantic about Bobby Benia day? Oh,

239
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: they're laughing.

240
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 3: I love the business of sports, So like this is

241
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 3: one of those great days because everybody and the Mets

243
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,400

Speaker 1: in twenty years, and here's why the Mets will keep

245
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: paying him one point one million dollars on this date,

246
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,080

357
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: need time. Toy on the heels of the all pro

358
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: traded day ago, in which the Dolphins decide to send

359
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: John new Smith and Jalen Ramsey to the Steelers in

360
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: exchange for Minka Fitzpatrick. Hey, the Dolphins don't have a

361
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: tight end. Well now they do because they have traded

362
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: a late round pick to the Giants for the rights

363
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: to Darren Waller, who was coming out of retirement after

364
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: a year away. And we'll play for the Dolphins this season.

365
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: Darren Waller back in the He took his time to heal,

366
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 1: and now he's back, And now back with us on

367
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 1: the hotline. Longtime NFL insider, check him out on Odyssey

368
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: one oh five seven the Fan in Baltimore, Washington Post.

369
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: It is Jason locking for it now, Jay, I know,

370
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: was your bet of the day Darren Waller coming out

371
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: of retirement? Was that your big bet of the day today?

372
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 4: Row? It was not. Although we did do a live

373
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 4: stream before the trade the Steerers Tablespoon Company, and I

374
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 4: did say I still think they're getting John Smith, whether

375
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 4: it's now or certainly before the trade deadline then had happened.

376
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 4: About forty five minutes later it was, you know, the

377
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 4: full details of the trade emerged. Yeah, look, I'll play

378
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 4: Jonah Smith over Darren Waller right now. Like that's just

379
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 4: the reality. John Smith was a very effective player last

380
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 4: year in an offense that was pretty broken, you know,

381
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 4: Arthur Smith with two tight ends, you know, and Aaron

382
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 4: Rodgers with two tight ends. I think we'll know what

383
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 4: to do with that. I do think that trade helps

384
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 4: the Steelers. I'm not sure that it helps the Dolphins

385
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 4: as much. And you tight ends are a lot like

386
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 4: inside linebackers and running backs, you know, when you play

387
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 4: in those hide traffic areas, when you go, it tends

388
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 4: to go all at want and you don't get it back.

389
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 4: You know, A year away may help Waller, but Waller

390
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 4: wasn't very productive and you know with the Giants, and

391
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 4: it seemed like his body was starting to break down.

392
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 4: So I like that trade a lot more for the

393
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 4: Steelers from the Steelers' perspective. And people can talk about

394
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 4: money being moved around and this or that. I mean,

395
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 4: Niko wasn't happy in Pittsburgh, and Ramsey obviously wasn't going

396
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 4: to be back at Miami. But for Pittsburgh, it's all

397
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 4: about the year. Now, it's about this year, you know,

398
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 4: and so under the sort of the the premise of

399
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 4: everything there and sort of in the proper context, which

400
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 4: is they're trying to make something happen this year. I

401
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 4: like that trade for them.

402
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. For the Dolphins, though, Jay and we talked about

403
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: it last night, I don't understand. I feel like there's

404
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: a there's a there's a division in what some of

405
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: the team wants to do and what what some of

406
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: the front office wants to do because I don't understand

407
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,959
Speaker 1: their philosophy. I look at this and I go, they

408
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: just want to save money, okay, and they're gonna get

409
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: younger at a defensive back position, and like, are they

410
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: really trying for this year? Are they tanking? I don't,

411
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 1: I don't get what they're doing.

412
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 4: No, they're in betwixt and in between. Yeah. I mean,

413
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 4: you haven't the clear lane because they you know, because

414
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 4: I think the coach knows what's going on there, and

415
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 4: he knows, you know, his nipples and the ring are

416
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 4: in there a little bit and they're starting to get

417
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 4: right and they're clamping down, and so you want to

418
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 4: do things to appease the owner financially, but you don't

419
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 4: want to completely wave in the white flag and just

420
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 4: be trading you know, salaries for future draft picks that

421
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 4: you can't use, you know, for ten more months.

422
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

423
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 4: I think they're in a weird spot and I don't

424
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 4: think it's going to go very well for them. And

425
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 4: I have played them under six and a half wins

426
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 4: in all markets in their win total, and I think

427
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 4: they are going to finish last in that division and

428
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 4: I don't think that's particularly great division. So no, I

429
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 4: don't think all the pressure and anks the air is

430
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 4: going to bring out the best of the coach or

431
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 4: bring out the best in that in that offense, and

432
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 4: the offensive line has gone into decay, you know, the

433
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 4: outside zone stuff, the tried and true Kyle Shanahan stuff.

434
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 4: You know, even that's become a little bit more of

435
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 4: a struggle for them. I don't really fancy them on defense.

436
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 4: They don't do a whole lot for me in the

437
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 4: trenches or otherwise.

438
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: He was able to get your team out of the basement.

439
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: We're out of that. We're not going to finish last

440
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: yet yet Jet yet yet.

441
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jets could pit a second in that division. Honestly,

442
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 4: the way I've played it is Buffalo. You know, you

443
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 4: can do the exact order. I like Buffalo, the Jets,

444
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 4: the Patriots, and the Dolphins in that order.

445
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: Who you just made Smith's stay.

446
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can get get some pretty good odds there.

447
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 4: I think they look the Jets to play some defense,

448
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 4: and Aaron Glenn's going to give them back to what

449
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 4: they were. They've got talent there. Not having all Aaron

450
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 4: Rodgers and all that ridiculousness, Like the Jets with no

451
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 4: expectations might surprise you a little bit. The Jets with

452
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 4: expectations you're probably you know, cruising for a bruising. But

453
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 4: I think it has more to do with the Dolphins

454
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 4: being terrible, and I think the hype train on New

455
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 4: England's a little bit like a little bit out of

456
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 4: control for me. Okay, I just think there's way too

457
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 4: much annointing going on there. That's a team that's become

458
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 4: terrible at home. That's a team that's had major locker

459
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 4: room and cultural issues. That's a team that's been searching

460
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 4: for an identity since Brady left. Were able the heck

461
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 4: of a coach. But I you know, the quarterback I

462
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 4: think will be good. But before after he's already you know,

463
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 4: a top twelve quarterback in this league, like I have,

464
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 4: I have major questions about them on defense. So I

465
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 4: think the Jets with no expectations and running a ball

466
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 4: control offense with fields who I'm still a little bit

467
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 4: of a sucker for. I think they could mess around

468
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 4: and like I don't know, eight wins might be second

469
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 4: in that division. Like that wouldn't shock me at all.

470
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 3: I'll yeah, I got him fine jacked up about it?

471
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 3: All right, Let's go to your division, the ANFC North.

472
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 3: Let's go back to the Steelers for a second. T

473
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 3: J Watt is he going to sign a deal or

474
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 3: are we going to see him in another universe?

475
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 4: Yeah? That fuck. You see what mode they're in there,

476
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 4: and that's the voters. So no, they're not trading him.

477
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 4: He's not going anywhere. Little shaper rattling going on at

478
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 4: being used and that's how it goes in high stakes negotiations.

479
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 4: But you know, Watt knows the deal, and he knows

480
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 4: they don't two contracts in season, and they do tend

481
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 4: to get a lot of deals done in training camp.

482
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 4: That's always sort of been their way. You go up

483
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 4: there in the mountains and Latrobe and you know, there's

484
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 4: you're sitting in dorms, you're with and your family. You

485
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 4: got nothing to do but watch football practice, you know,

486
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 4: and talk to agents and try to get things done.

487
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 4: And they've had a lot of success doing it for

488
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 4: really decades there that way. And I'd be stunned if

489
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 4: this isn't done, if it's not done by the time

490
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 4: they get to Latrobe. But I think it's done the

491
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 4: first week in training game.

492
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: All right. Lastly, say, let me ask you this, speaking

493
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: to your gambling acumen. Here, we saw the big early

494
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: odds for NFL MVP come out today and you know,

495
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 1: so the guys up at the top. You'd expect josh

496
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: Ala Lamar Jackson. If I said to you, where's your

497
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: value for an MVP pick at this point in the

498
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 1: NFL this year? You can get me just field if

499
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: you want, But where's your value and MVP pick at

500
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: this point?

501
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 4: Well, I've sprinkled on Jordan Loves and I'm on the

502
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 4: Packers in a lot of different ways that whole Packers

503
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 4: over there team total. I'm on Packers over Packers to

504
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 4: win the division. I'm on a Packers Raven super Bowl,

505
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 4: and so yeah, man stands to reason if I'm not

506
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 4: bullish on that team that that quarterback who played so

507
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 4: well the final through ten games or so of the

508
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 4: twenty twenty preseason, I don't think he was ever healthy

509
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty four, but like they've added more pieces there.

510
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,360
Speaker 4: I just don't think he was ever healthy last year.

511
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 4: I don't think he was right going into that game

512
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 4: in Brazil, and he certainly wasn't right coming out of it.

513
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 4: But that's a head coach who's had success with offenses

514
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 4: there with multiple quarterbacks at the Helm. You know, Jacob's

515
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 4: second year there, he's even more settled in. I like

516
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,719
Speaker 4: the old line. They added more skill pieces. I need

517
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 4: to defense in year two with that, decoordinator will be uh,

518
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 4: we'll step up. We'll give them more short fields and

519
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 4: the healthier Love got last year, the turnovers, you know,

520
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 4: got cut down. I still think he can run a

521
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 4: little more than he does, and I don't think he's

522
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 4: going to throw the ball to the other team nearly

523
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 4: as much as he did the first half of last year,

524
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 4: So you can get some real value on him. And

525
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 4: again you go back to the second half of twenty

526
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 4: twenty three, he and Matt Stafford were playing at an

527
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 4: MVP type level, and I think, you know, I think

528
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 4: Love is in his prime and he can get back there.

529
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: Honestly. Washington Post one oh five seven, the Fan in

530
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: Baltimore and check out Want to Bet every day on

531

Speaker 1: YouTube you get all stuff like this and more from

532
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: Jason Lock and for Jay as always, Buddy, appreciate it.

533
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:46,959
Speaker 4: Man.

Speaker 1: We'll talk to you next week.

535
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 4: Have fun. Hey, have a great week.

536
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: Gush, thank you, have a good holiday, buddy seam. All right,

537
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: there goes Jason Locking for uh, yeah, I'm looking for

538
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: the MVP odds Jets played not on there. Nobody from

539
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: the jets on there nobody knows well, but that.

540
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 3: Means that you can just bet the field, and now

541
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 3: you've got the cast of characters to rise from the depths.

542
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: Now, I mean, look, you see the odds and I

543
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: can bet on and it's like having fifteen fantasy teams.

544
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 1: Now you got everybody. Jordan Love let's say went two, three, four, five, six, seven,

545
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: the eighth favorite. Now he's plus twenty five hundred, so

546
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: there's money to be made there. But he's just ahead

547
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 1: of Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, Caleb Williams comes ahead of

548
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, which is like, oh my goodness. Then you

549
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: have Jared Goff, brock Perty and then bow Nicks. These

550
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: are these are these guys in the top fifteen, all

551
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: quarterbacks obviously because they're gonna, you know, likely get the uh,

552
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 1: you know, get the vote. But that's how your list

553
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: is breaking down right now for the NFL MVP Award odds.

554
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 3: What's curious is how many folks by time we get

555
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 3: to week one, we'll be on the hype train for

556
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 3: the Arizona Cardinals. And Kyler Murray, who's had fast starts

557
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 3: in the past. Now you've bolstered the defense full off

558
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 3: season with Marvin Harrison junior that made some upgrades to

559
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 3: that offense as well, so maybe you get a little

560
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 3: on board there. Jared Goff's interesting because the expectations are.

561
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: So goodness, my goodness, he's low. I mean, he's plus

562
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: three thousand. But that's just it is.

563
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 3: People have backed off, say, well, the coordinators are both gone,

564
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 3: so suddenly this team's going to take a huge step back.

565
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 3: That's one I'd be looking at the over unders on

566
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 3: the wind total to see what kind of value you

567
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 3: can find there since everybody's on the Caleb Williams, sure,

568
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson high train, the Packers and then certainly the

569
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 3: unknown of JJ McCarthy and the Vikings because you see

570
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 3: how good a roster they have. So I think the

571
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 3: Lions are in Detroit in general, just getting discounted all

572
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 3: over the sporting landscape.

573
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: The most interesting one to me, and it's not about

574
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: a long shot. This is just wow. When I saw

575
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: how high he was, ahead of C. J. Stroud, right

576
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: ahead of Prescott, ahead of Jared Goff, head with the

577
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: seventh high to odds to win the MVP is justin Herbert, Yeah,

578
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: seventh highest odds. So this to how much everybody is

579
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: buying on the charge. Look, I'm buying on the charges

580
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: second year now that you know Hardball's put in his

581
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: system and this is what I want to do. And

582
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: now instead of just having placeholders, he's actually got dudes

583
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: coming in. But I'd be still to jump up and

584
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: be the seventh favorite right now, just behind Jalen Hurts

585
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: to win NFL MVP. This tells you Vegas they love

586
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: the Chargers this year. Man, look at the Chargers. But

587
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: the thing that's burg how excited are you Chargers, Well,

588
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:32,239
Speaker 1: not anymore than you are.

589
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 3: Come on, we're counting down and you got a monthy.

590
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 3: You're gonna need a lot of suntan oil and briefs.

591
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: And what a trade The Chargers trade Justin Herbert to

592
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: the Jets in exchange for Justin Field.

593
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 3: No, but the thing with Herbert is curious that he's

594
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 3: that high is that based on what we've seen, that

595
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 3: doesn't mean things aren't subject to change. That you're not

596
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 3: having him wing it around fifty times a game, right,

597
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 3: Normally would the MVP go wins and some gaudy stats

598
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 3: that you're going to back up. So that's the curiosity

599
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 3: for Herbert being the seventh highest or seventh best odds

600
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 3: for an MVP. Are you thinking he's achieving those heights

601
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 3: given the style of game that the Chargers like to play?

602
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: Exit? How about a Fresco exit Swelling Dome. Jason Smith

608
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: my goal in life to get Justin Herbert to the

609
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame.

610
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 5: The Dodgers scored four in the first there and I

611
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 5: have four nothing on the White Sox in the second inning.

612
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 5: Yoshiobu Yamamoto is LA starter today. Shortstop Mookie Bets did

613
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,480

Speaker 1: Everybody was healthy.

647
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 5: I heard at the start of the homestand that everybody

00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 5: is nobody opted, no one, the Yankees, everybody's healthy of Canada, Absourtely.

00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 5: five million dollars. The Milwaukee Bucks are waving Damian Lillard,

00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 5: who's injured, to sign free agent center Miles Turner from

656
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 5: the Pacers, and we talked about this off the air

657
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 5: before the show. And injury to Red Panda, a very

658
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 5: popular halftime performer at basketball games. She was hurt due

659
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 5: to be the halftime act tonight in Minneapolis at the

660
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 5: WNBA Commissioner's Cup Final.

661
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: Instead, there was no act.

662
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 5: Because before she actually got started on the unicycle eight

663
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 5: feet off the ground, she fell and went straight to

664
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 5: the hard floor. Appeared to hurt her wrist and was

665
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 5: shaken up and tried to get up and walk off

666
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 5: and didn't make it off and medical personnel attended to

667
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 5: her again. They brought out a wheelchair for her to exit.

668
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 5: She has an amazing act with balancing the bulls on

669
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 5: her head and on her feet and tossing him up

670
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 5: the air and catching him without her hands. But Red

671
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 5: Panda injured tonight. As for the actual game, Indiana did

672
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 5: not have the injured Caitlin Clark, but still won the

673
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,960

693

Speaker 1: missing your best player and you still find a way

694
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: to be one of the best teams in the league,

695
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: and you win something called the Commissioner's Cup, you get

696
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: to be the play of the day.

697
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 2: And that's the Indiana fans making some noise here at

698
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 2: Target Center.

699
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: There are a lot of Fever fans in this building.

700
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 2: And Indiana has done it their first ever Commissioners Cup Championship.

701
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 2: Nothing off the Minnesota.

702
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: Links WNBA on the call, yes, without Caitlin Clark, the

703
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,439
Speaker 1: Indiana Fever beat the Links, like to win the Commissioner's Cup.

704
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: We held them to thirty five percent shooting. They get

705
00:34:55,840 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: this Laurel and Hardy handshake. But without Kaitlyn Clark, they

706
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 1: do it a big night. Look, Sophie Cunningham has thirteen

707
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: off the bench, which we'll have more on Sophie. Yea, yeah,

708
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: coming up in the show. But look, here's the thing, right,

709
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,760
Speaker 1: So the Fever win tonight and they beat the Links,

710
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: and it's a big headline. But what have we seen

711
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 1: the last day or so the discrepancy between the fact

712
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: that Caitlin Clark, who is an All Star captain, right

713
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: number one vote get her and for the WNBA All

714
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: Star Game, we get that note late last night that

715
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: according to the way the All Stars are selected, you know,

716
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: the fan vote is a percentage, the coaches vote is

717
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: a percentage, and the player vote is a percentage. And

718
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: it comes out that, hey, the player vote, she finished

719
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 1: ninth among guards. And there's a little bit of a

720
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: discrepancy between the fact that it's not that they voted

721
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: her ninth, she just finished ninth because she wasn't in

722
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 1: the top four of voting for the All Stars because

723
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: she's been hurt this year and other players are playing well,

724
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 1: But it doesn't because here's your headline of Caitlyn Clark

725
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 1: finishes night and how does this happen? How does this happen?

726
00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: And again, this is what I've said over a year ago,

727
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 1: and again people are coming around to this now because

728
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: I actually heard it today on the radio. The WNBA

729
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: is succeeding despite itself. And I don't know how much

730
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: longer you can succeed despite yourself for because they have

731
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: proven that they can't handle success. All they've had is

732
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 1: success handed to them. Since Caitlin Clark was lucky enough

733
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: to have her exhaust her eligibility and she's ready to

734
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: come to the NWNBA because she's the most popular women's

735
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: basketball player in the history of the sport. She has

736
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: jumped the league and jumped into the league. And now

737
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: they have all kinds of great travel and now they

738
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 1: have three expansion teams coming because of Caitlin Clark. Again,

739
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: we'll get to Selphie Cunningham coming because of Kitlan Clark.

740
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: And still every other day there's a story about the

741
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: backlash against Caitlin Clark, right, And now you can debate

742
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,879
Speaker 1: how much she was voted on that. Was it really

743
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: that everybody hates her she's voted ninth or was she

744
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 1: just not in the top four and she had the

745
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: ninth most points. Like there's a there's a little bit

746
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: of inside baseball with this, but the bottom line is

747
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: still here's another day where it's a great, incredibly positive

748
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 1: headline for the WNBA. Here's a day where they all

749
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: these all these expansion teams coming and she's the biggest

750
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: vote getter. I think she got more votes this year

751
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: than like you go like four years ago, she that's

752
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: more votes than anybody got when you had total for

753
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: everybody in the All Star Game for the WNBA. Like

754
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: she's done that. And yet here's another day where it's

755
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: everybody hates Caitlin Clark. They just cannot handle success, and

756
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: you have to get it. You gotta get'll handle on

757
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: it at some point because it's not gonna be there forever,

758
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: but handling sixth that's all it is. And they're succeeding

759
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: despite the fact they don't know how to do this.

760
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,919
Speaker 3: Well, what's great about it, right is nearly one point

761
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 3: three million votes for Caitlin Clark third amongst the media

762
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 3: because that's the other portion, and then ninth amongst players.

763
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 3: So this begets the question with a fifteen point burial

764
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 3: of the links tonight, does the ninth place ranking among players?

765
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 1: Is it justified? I've been seven not?

766
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, And how about a presco at swalling down at

767
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio bring it in as you will. No,
