18
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys coming up in a second, His boy, the war

19
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: of words already going on between the Cowboys and Packers

20
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: ahead of Micah Parsons Bowl on Sunday. But we know

21
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: we had the conversation a couple minutes ago about how, look,

22
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: the one team that should go after a quarterback are

23
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: the Browns. Forget about this Sanders and Gabriel and all

24
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: this crap happening right now. They're great, lights out defense.

25
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,559
Speaker 1: If they had any production whatsoever at quarterback, they would

26
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: be two and one. And it's a watered down It's

27
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: a bad afc North right. The Ravens defense is terrible.

28
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: The Bengals have no Joe Burrow for for most of

29
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: the rest of the season, and Pittsburgh is just kind

30
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: of okay, right, be bold, go get a quarterback now.

31
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: You threw out there Russell Wilson a few minutes ago,

32
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: and I said, no, they need to go get a quarterback.

33
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 3: Okay, just understand I need to get a.

34
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 4: Something there because look, and now the battle for Ohio

35
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 4: also extends to we need a new quarterback.

36
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

37
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: Now, the two guys that I'll give you two names

38
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: that they can now, there's no there's no sure fire

39
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: answer out there. There's and and teams aren't just gonna

40
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: trade backup quarterback just because right, like the Rams aren't

41
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: gonna trade Jimmy Garoppolo because he's not.

42
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: Starting, right, the red.

43
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: Hey, no, we have hopes and dreams, and if something

44
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: happens to Stafford, we feel pretty good with Jimmy Garoppolo

45
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: coming in, right, So it's got to be the right

46
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: kind of situation where the team can part with a

47
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: quarterback that has some talent.

48
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 3: Right now, you're taking a bit of a risk, but

49
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 3: this is a risk just for this year.

50
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: You can start over again after this year if you

51
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: don't like it. The two quarterbacks you can go after

52
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: right that, I know we'll get that are gonna be

53
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: available that you can get a lot for the first

54
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: ones in the AFC, And it's Anthony Richardson, because you

55
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,839
Speaker 1: know with Daniel Jones's start, they're ready to hand that.

56
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: You have it now, Daniel, you're the Sam Darnold of

57
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five.

58
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 3: Man.

59
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: We love you, and the further we could get removed

60
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: from Anthony Richardson, the better we are.

61
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 5: Now.

62
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: Yes, you worry about Daniel Jones getting hurt and Richardson

63
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: coming in, but you know Richardson's a sunk cost at

64
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: this point, right, I mean, you know you're not going

65
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: forward with him. He's not going to suddenly win the

66
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: job next year. You see how well, Joe just playing

67
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: his first three games, but Richardson has flashed before. If

68
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: he can stay healthy and a change of scenery with

69
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: a really good offensive coach and Kevin Stefanski. Yeah, Anthony

70
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: Richardson's a guy that isla, Hey bring him in and

71
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: see you could say that, well, it's a rit, Yeah,

72
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: but I know it's a risk. It as upside because

73
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: I've seen him have games where boy, for three quarters

74
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: Anthony Richard's been terrible and then in a seven minute

75
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: spans it's two touchdowns in a field goal and all

76
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's seventeen seventeen. Like that's a risk

77
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: that you could take, and the Colts, I'm sure will

78
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: want to move on and say, okay, we're in on

79
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, that the Anthony Richard era is over and

80
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: we're going forward.

81
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: I'm sure he would be available.

82
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, what's the risk. I mean, it ain't

83
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 4: gonna cost you much to bring him in, all right?

84
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 4: For the Colts, when as soon as they paid Daniel

85
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 4: Jones the money they did to bring him in, you

86
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 4: knew it was a done deal. And now you're at

87
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 4: a point where he's easier break glass in case of emergency.

88
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 4: You didn't want him, all right, That's why you went

89
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 4: into the market, is to bring in another distressed property

90
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 4: that you saw could be a positive in your offense

91
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 4: in Daniel Jones. So yeah, you you shuffle him off,

92
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 4: But I don't think the asking price is gonna be

93
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 4: too high. How many other quarterbacks are really out there

94
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 4: that are viable started? I mean, I don't know that

95
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 4: I necessarily want him to bring him in? Is he

96
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 4: better than what I'm putting out there? Is he gonna

97
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 4: be better than Joe Flacco? I mean, I guess he

98
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 4: could make a play or two with his legs, but

99
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 4: then he's gonna be.

100
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 6: Then he's gonna go off the field.

101
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, but there also he also is a guy that

102
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: needs a change of scenery. No, he's to be able

103
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: to get someplace else. And if you're going, you know

104
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: that that's a guy who is eminently available, because you know,

105
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: the Colts have have itchy, itchy fingers to say, hey,

106
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: we want to make a move. I really don't want

107
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: this to sit here anymore. And Richardson has flashed. I've

108
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: seen him do it, and again maybe he's learned a lot,

109
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: like look, this whole summer. The competition was really close,

110
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: no matter who I I I read about or talked to. Hey, no,

111
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: this is a close competition. Richardson has look good. They

112
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: just feel better with Daniel Jones because of the way

113
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: the offense is.

114
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 6: Now.

115
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: But but beat writers would have come out and said, hey,

116
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: Richardson looks terrible. Richardson, don't listen to that. Like all

117
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: the Beat writers, the guy's covering practices. Also, this is

118
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: a really close competition, And you could say it was

119
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: kind of rigged as a competition because clearly, yeah, unless

120
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: Richardson is terrific, we're gonna give the job to Jones

121
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: because we've seen him succeed in this kind of offense before,

122
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: so let's do it. But like now, it's the point, Okay,

123
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: as talented as Richardson is, yeah, it's just not working here.

124
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: And he's got no future in Indianapolis. He may have

125
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: one in Cleveland. And I mean, look, it may not work,

126
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: but I know it's better than what they got. Would

127
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: Flacco out there right now, and like I said, at

128
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: least the very least, he'll make plays with his legs

129
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: and he'll be a little bit more dynamic than Flaka was.

130
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 6: At this point, maybe he gives you.

131
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 4: A little opportunity to uncork some stuff downfield. When you

132
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 4: look at Tilm and you look at Jerry Judy and

133
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 4: some of the wide receivers you've got, you got a

134
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 4: couple of pretty good tight ends there to utilize as well.

135
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 4: So clearly you've got a lot of problems. You're offensively,

136
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 4: how should we be kind deficient at this point? And

137
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 4: now you've got Judkins gave you a little bit of

138
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 4: juice in the backfield. We'll see what he can do

139
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 4: going forward. But yeah, trying to goose this in the trademark.

140
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 4: And I'm curious who else? Who else are you on

141
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 4: earthing from a roster.

142
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: The other guy i'm telling you here is Caleb, But no,

143
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: the other guy i'm telling you here available that has

144
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: flashed a little bit, is a little dynamic, makes plays

145
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: with his legs. And you know they want to move

146
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: on to the guy they drafted this year. Go get

147
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: Spencer Rattler from the Saints. Right, at some point they

148
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: got to play Tyler Schuck, right, they have to. He

149
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: came in, he played a little bit this past week.

150
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: Rattler has done enough, He's moved the team enough he

151
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: has shown that hey he's not completely overwhelmed, and yes,

152
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: he can make plays with his legs. He's had a

153
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: couple of big games.

154
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 3: Is he great?

155
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,799
Speaker 1: No, But I know he can give you that little

156
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: bit of juice and be again that I keep saying dynamic,

157
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: because that's what the Browns offense needs. He's someone that's

158
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: available simply because you know after this year, the Saints

159
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: are going to go after another quarterback. They're in a

160
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: stuck place right now with Derek Carr's contract and what

161
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: they want to wind up doing. And you know at

162
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: some point, well, we drafted Tyler Shuck in the second round.

163
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: He's got to get a chance. It's we're zero to three.

164
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: That's coming sooner rather than later. So yeah, if we

165
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: started Tyler Schuck, we're gonna go back to Spencer Rally. No,

166
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: we can get something for Spencer Ratler. So okay, we

167
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: go and worse comes to worst, we tank and we're

168
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: drafting arch Manning at the end of this year and.

169
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 4: Lets the Jets get them first, right, So stay and

170
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 4: beat the Giants first, since that was the game everybody

171
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 4: had circled.

172
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 6: The whole time, going, we're gonna beat that ass when well,

173
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 6: we played that game.

174
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 4: They've been mocking us and everybody's been pointing to that game.

175
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 6: For two months.

176
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, you look at you look at those two

177
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: guys that are young, that have talent that again can

178
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: get outside the pocket. They're two players that yeah, those

179
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: are you, and it's it's not gonna be very expensive

180
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: to go get them each team. Would you almost be

181
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: doing them a favor doing this because you know they're

182
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: gonna make the move anyway.

183
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 3: Go make it now, Go make it down in two weeks, you.

184
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: Got Rattler Richardson's starting for you and suddenly, hey, and

185
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: if they don't work out, okay, then you can go

186
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: to Dylan Gabriel. Then you can go to Shador Sanders.

187
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: Like these are guys that have done it on the

188
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: field in the NFL at a young age. Go do

189
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: something that helps your team out right now, you give them,

190
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: give them a little bit of hey, we got your

191
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: back here. We're not just gonna let you defense. We're

192
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: not gonna let you just go out there every week

193
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: and give up fourteen points and we lose fourteen thirteen.

194
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: We're not gonna do that to you. Like, really, you

195
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 1: can contend this year because the AFC North is bad.

196
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: I mean, really, have you've shown enough in the first

197
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: few weeks how good this defense is. Keep it going, man,

198
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: people do something, Do something, Help help out, help out

199
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: a fan base that's been starved for all sorts of

200
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: good news for the past well, I don't know, twenty

201
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: five years.

202
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 3: Go help out that fan base.

203
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 6: What just so they have a new story on the

204
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 6: back of the fish wrap. I don't know. I don't know.

205
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 6: They're a little bit of help.

206
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 4: I don't know that. Richard, Hey, let's have a rally

207
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 4: in the town square over their arrival.

208
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 3: It's different. It's different, and I know if I.

209
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 6: Hear something, even if it's wrong.

210
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: If I know, okay, if I know what I have

211
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: in my right hand isn't working right. If I have

212
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: a video game control in my right hand that I

213
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: know is broken, it's broken, I can't use it. What

214
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: about the video game control on your left hand? I

215
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: have no idea. I have no idea. Someone just put

216
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: it in my hand. It could be broken. It could

217
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: be broken worse than this one, but it could be

218
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: working great.

219
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 3: I don't know.

220
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: But I know the one in my right hand is broken,

221
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: So why wouldn't I try to use the one in

222
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: the left hand.

223
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 4: I give you, I give you credit. You could have

224
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 4: just said I can have this or what's in the box.

225
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 4: So you got a little more creative with the video game.

226
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 4: I noticed that you didn't go to the high price

227
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 4: end where it might be a lot more complicated to

228
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 4: make something happen. But a guy whose team suddenly needs him,

229
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 4: and that's old captain Kirk.

230
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: You know, if I didn't hear all those stories the

231
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: last few days about how dude, we think Kirk Cousins

232
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: is done, and really the league is telling you they

233
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: think he has done because there's no talk. There's not

234
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: been one team that has called. Because normally by now

235
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: we would get that, Hey, sources Vikings called for Kirk

236
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: Cousins in the preseason or Raiders call about Kirk Cousins

237
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: in the offseason. There's been no teams. There's been no

238
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: uh talk at all. No, Hey, we're gonna want to

239
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: look into this. What can we do money wise? Would

240
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: you eat money for Kirk Cousins? And clearly the Falcons

241
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: would do it, right, Hey, we decided to go on

242
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: all in on Michael Pennix. So the fact that we

243
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: haven't I haven't heard anything from any team at any

244
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: point in the last I don't know, six months on

245
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins tells me the entire league thinks he's done.

246
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 4: I think some of it was you needed proof of

247
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 4: concept of where he was physically in the process. But

248
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 4: it's also the curiosity of where they're at. Given the

249
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 4: first couple of games we've watched from Michael Pennix junior.

250
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he uh, he's not he's not uh, he's not.

251
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 4: Uh, he's not good, right, especially the expectations of this squad, Yeah,

252
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 4: not good.

253
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 6: Right, that it was gonna they were gonna go and

254
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 6: they were gonna.

255
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 4: Win the South running away and I said, I said,

256
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 4: not so fast, thinking that you still got to run

257
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 4: through the through the Buccaneers. But here you have it

258
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 4: that Pennix had one solid game and then it's been

259
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 4: a bit ugly.

260
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 6: Uh.

261
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 4: And when you get shut out, what do we get

262
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 4: less than ten of those a year anymore?

263
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 6: Right, you get shut out by the Panthers.

264
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 4: It's pretty pretty bad indictment of where your squad is

265
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 4: right now, just despite all the headliners on the marquee.

266
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: I mean, so these are two guys you can go

267
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: get I like it, I mean be but you know

268
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: help right, like go to and you don't put anything

269
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: at risk. That's the best part is that. What about

270
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: get oh Man? Yeah, well you might have to wait

271
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: another couple of weeks. If the if the Dolphins lose

272
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: to the Jets on Monday Night, I know, we decided

273
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: we're not gonna mention that game because we want people

274
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: to watch Monday night football. Yeah, there's two games, two

275
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: games on Monday off day for Major League Baseball. Yeah,

276
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: we'll just make stuff play. Yeah, we'll make stuff up.

277
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: I will make it up. But if they lose to

278
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: the Jets, I wonder how available I got. But then

279
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: you're worried about getting into the money for TUA. It

280
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: needs to be something where the Browns can say our

281
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: long term plans, meaning after this year, are unaffected, but

282
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: we can still kind of go for it this year

283
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: because maybe arch Manning isn't great, right we've seen it.

284
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: Maybe he's not the guy we should thank for. Maybe

285
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: Lenora Sellers is really good, maybe he's not. Maybe Garrett

286
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: nus Meyer's great, maybe he's not. But it doesn't matter.

287
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: We can try to go for it this year and

288
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: if it doesn't work, Okay, it's good. We're still starting

289
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: over next year where a new quarterback something else. If

290
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: it does work, great, we may have our quarterback. We

291
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: may Spencer Rattler Anthony may wind up being quarterbacks here.

292
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 3: Why not?

293
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 6: How about that?

294
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 4: You never a time they were they were both the

295
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 4: flavor of the day, right, Yeah, Anthony Richardson had that month. Yeah,

296
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 4: you actually had a little sculpture of a statue for him.

297
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

298
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: Boy, I should have really traded him in Dynasty right

299
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: after that one.

300
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 4: That Spencer, that Spencer Rattler was kind of a big

301
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 4: deal once a lot of time and in the collegiate game.

302
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 4: So I'm in and he's looked all right, I mean

303
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 4: through three weeks, yeah, you know, with somebody outside the division.

304
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 3: So we'll see what has and.

305
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: Really quick because because I remember this and I have

306
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: to sometimes sit back and go, don't agonize too much

307
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: over over fantasy, but I vividly remember because I had

308
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: the second pick of the draft in fantasy and I

309
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: knew I's whatever. I knew somebody was gonna pick number one.

310
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm going, oh, man, do I take Bryce Young or

311
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson? Like what do I do? Like what do

312
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: I do at number two?

313
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 7: Like?

314
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 3: Do I take Bryce Young or Anthony Richardson?

315
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 6: Wow?

316
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 8: What?

317
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 1: I And I agonized over it for like a week

318
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: once I knew that the guy picking first wasn't gonna

319
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: pick either of those quarterbacks.

320
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 3: And I remember going, like my whole week was like

321
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 3: what do I do? Who do I take? Who do

322
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 3: I take? And now it's like it doesn't matter. It

323
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 3: doesn't matter because they both stink.

324
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 6: So it makes no difference how that worked out, isn't it?

325
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 6: What are you gonna do?

326
00:13:59,040 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 9: Yeah?

327
00:13:59,280 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 3: But what can you do?

328
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,439

00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:10,520

352
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 8: We never have enough time to get to everything we

353
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 8: want to get to.

354
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,800

Speaker 9: over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in

356
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 9: our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,

357
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 9: because this guy is over promising things we never have

358
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 9: time for. Yeah, you blubber Liam in me.

359
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 3: Well, you know what it's called over promise.

360
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 8: You should be good at it because you've been over

361
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 8: promising women for years.

362
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 9: Well, it's a Covino and Rich after show, and we

363
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 9: want you to be a part of it. We're gonna

365
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 9: life and relationships, and if Rich and I are arguing

366
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,120

00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 8: little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast

372
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:51,840

00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: I need to perform a wellness check right now on

386
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: both he and his family. He is proud Michigander MLB

387
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: Network insider Extraordinary John Paul Morosi is on Twitter at

388
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: John Morosi. I understand the legacy and how the Detroit

389
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: Tigers are woven into his family history. The Cleveland Guardians,

390
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: who once trailed this division by fifteen and a half games,

391
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: now lead the Ale Central over the TI. It will

392
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: be the largest deficit overcome to win a division in

393
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: the history of baseball. This has been tweeted out by

394
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: John Paul Morosi, so it's only fair, John Paul, I

395
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: welcome you in and ask how is your family doing? Specifically,

396
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: how is your dad doing. I can't believe he's doing

397
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: well right now.

398
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 7: They they only watched this week the Lions on Monday Night.

399
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 7: I'm gonna turn off the TV for a few days.

400
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 7: Doad Lions win Primetime football, Talk of the Nation. Exciting

401
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 7: times there for coach Dan Campbell healthy. Aiden Hutchinson did

402
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 7: a great job on Lamar Jackson Monday night. That's the

403
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 7: only game my dad's watched this week. I no, no

404
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 7: baseball watched by him. No, it's uh, this is as

405
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 7: as I had. As I was typing out that that post,

406
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 7: I said, my goodness, this, uh, this sounds pretty real

407
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 7: for my for my home state, and it is listen,

408
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 7: everything about this game, that the bizarre sixth inning, the

409
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 7: bun that went awry, and then obviously the concern over

410
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 7: David Fry's health, and that that's play in that situation,

411
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 7: the balk. It just it was a surreal series of events,

412
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 7: and now the Tigers can no longer casually explain away

413
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 7: what's happening. This is a this is a collapse of

414
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 7: biblical proportions that is now unfolding. And if they can't

415
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 7: right the ship here quickly, I mean, one of the

416
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 7: big concerns now for Detroit is, of course they lose

417
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 7: the tiebreaker to the Guardians. So it's not only that

418
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 7: they need to keep even with the Guardians, they have

419
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 7: to actually go past them again, and it's just not

420
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 7: easy to do that. The Guardians are hot, playing well,

421
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 7: and then when the Tigers are done playing Cleveland, they

422
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 7: got to go to Fenday. And then the Red Sox

423
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 7: just won a game tonight against a really tough team

424
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 7: in Toronto. And oh, by the way, tomorrow night the

425
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 7: Red Sox have Garrett Crochan the mound against the Blue Jays.

426
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 7: So you start looking around and asking yourself, where are

427
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 7: the wins going to come from? Where are they going

428
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 7: to get some wins? And they may just have to

429
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 7: hope that the Astros stumble down the stretch. Obviously, the

430
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 7: lost three games playing against the Aids tonight now, but

431
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 7: the mathematics no longer favored the Tigers. They are in

432
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 7: a world of hurt and oh, by the way, their

433
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 7: starter on Thursday, his name is td D TVD is

434
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 7: who they've got starting Thursday's game with everything on the line.

435
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 4: JPA was interesting you use the term of biblical proportions

436
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 4: because we're wondering if there are any Billy Go Texas

437
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 4: trips to the crossroads that have helped to spur this on.

438
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 7: Well, I'll tell you what we as michigan Ers, may

439
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 7: need to learn and see exactly what has transpired if

440
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 7: they there is another curse here in our state. We've

441
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 7: got the curse of Bobby Lane. The Red Wings, of course,

442
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 7: ended their long drought back in nineteen ninety seven, but

443
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 7: you do start to wonder back in six there was

444
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 7: the bizarre pitchers having a hard time throwing the bases,

445
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 7: a few different things going on in that era. They

446
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 7: missed the playoffs, the big collapse in two thousand and nine.

447
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 7: But I have not seen anything quite like this. I

448
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 7: guess I'll say this, it's the curse of not re

449
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 7: signing Justin Verlander. He was available last winter. He's gone

450
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 7: on to have a very solid season with the Giants. Instead,

451
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 7: the Tigers, for the same amount of money, signed a

452
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 7: pitcher and Alice Cobb, who did not throw a single

453
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 7: pitch for them this season. Zero did not throw a pitch.

454
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 7: One year contract for more than ten million dollars and

455
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 7: didn't pitch, And they could have signed Verlander for the

456
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 7: same amount of money. For some reason, they didn't, And

457
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 7: now they are sadly for the Tigers dealing with those consequences.

458
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 3: See, I think it's a little bit. It's just to

459
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:04,479
Speaker 3: widen the net here.

460
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: John Paul is that I think this is what's going on,

461
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: And I think you're at the crux of it. Because

462
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: every year you picked the Mariners to win the division.

463
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 2: That's right, you picked that.

464
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: This has been what eight years in a row you

465
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: have picked the Seattle Mariners to win the Al West.

466
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 3: Now it's going to happen.

467
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: So the baseball God is saying, I'm sorry, there's got

468
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: to be agin and yang here, So I'm giving you

469
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: the Tigers absolute epic collapse. I'll give you the Mariners,

470
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: who are going to win that division finally, but you

471
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: have to take the Tigers epic collapse.

472
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 7: Right and again. The Mariners get a chance to try

473
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 7: to complete this by by defeating the Karalado Rockies this week,

474
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 7: which I like their chances to win this series they're

475
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 7: playing right now. But you're right, after all these years

476
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 7: of now picking the Mariners. And let's make this point too.

477
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 7: You look at the American Leaguees and guess what team

478
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 7: is now just one game back of the division lead,

479
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 7: the New York Yankees. And there were there were certain

480
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 7: teams that we thought if you looked back two weeks ago,

481
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 7: or even a couple a few days ago, you said, well,

482
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 7: the two buys in the American League could very easily

483
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 7: belong to the Tigers and the Blue Jays. Well, the

484
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 7: Jays are now in the fight for their lives to

485
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 7: try to stay in the top spot of the American

486
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 7: League East with only a one game lead now, the

487
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 7: Tigers are barely even in the playoff picture right now.

488
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 7: If the Astros win tonight, the Tigers are officially out

489
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 7: of a spot, at least for the time being. So

490
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 7: a lot of things at play and all the things

491
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 7: that you thought were going to happen, like the Tigers

492
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 7: having the best record in the American League, they may

493
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 7: not even make the playoffs. And now the Seattle Mariners, who,

494
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 7: by the way, and I'll make this distinction, the Tigers

495
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 7: had a very passive, underwhelming deadline. The Mariners were very aggressive,

496
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 7: and I think sometimes when you are aggressive, it sends

497
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 7: the right message to your clubhouse. The Tigers, they didn't,

498
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 7: and I think that as a result, the Times have

499
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,479
Speaker 7: lacked a little swagger here lately. Whereas you look at

500
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 7: the Mariners and then people like you Hanio Suadez and

501
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 7: Josh Taylor who came over at the deadline, I think

502
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 7: those those two players have helped drive a culture that

503
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 7: might finally prove me right and win the American League.

504
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 4: West JP, and my friend Jason Smith over here has

505
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 4: had a nice roller coaster season with his beloved New

506
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 4: York Mets.

507
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 6: They get it's not been nice.

508
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 3: It's not been nice. Don't tell me it's been a

509
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 3: nice seat. It's not been nice.

510
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 6: It's not nice to use it a very.

511
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 4: Positive sounding word, even although we know better. Incredibly, can

512
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 4: anybody that's watched this, but but you've dived off of

513
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 4: their wagon repeatedly. Uh is he going to get to

514
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,959
Speaker 4: the finish line with this squad or are they going

515
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 4: to be left on the outside looking into where he's

516
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 4: eating hoggin dass and crying.

517
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 7: They're in. They're going to be in a big comeback

518
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 7: win tonight at Wrigley and Jason again, they tend to

519
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 7: play well during the weeks in which I'm going to

520
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 7: see them, and I will be there at Wrigley on

521
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 7: so I will be there. It's our final MLB Network

522
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 7: Showcase game of the week. I get to stay here

523
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 7: in the Midwest. I'm going to go to Chicago and

524
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 7: I'm looking at this team thinking that comeback they had

525
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 7: tonight says a lot about their their intestinal fortitude, if

526
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 7: you will. And the other piece of the puzzle that

527
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 7: I think is so fascinating is that Juan Soto has

528
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 7: had one of his best seasons of his entire career

529
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 7: this season and it's not getting nearly the national love

530
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 7: that that season deserves. He has been outstanding, especially lately,

531
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 7: and so I'm bullish on the Mets and I get

532
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 7: to see Brandon sproad pitch in person, with the first

533
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 7: time on Thursday. It's it's all falling into place. And

534
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,719
Speaker 7: and Jason, I think that my father, the people in

535
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,719
Speaker 7: my great home state, they're just hoping to borrow some

536
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 7: of Jason Smith's optimism. They just that they want to, uh,

537
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 7: they want to borrow your your perpetual look at the

538
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 7: sunny side of life. And I think that if you

539
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 7: can share some of that that zen like status, so

540
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 7: we would greatly appreciate it.

541
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 3: Good, good, go much guys. I'm gonna give you something

542
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 3: very calm.

543
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: Hey, have you see Sternsy David Stearns who runs the Mets,

544
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,959
Speaker 1: your your former college roommate.

545
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 3: Just you pass this along. I'm so happy.

546
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: No more petersoner Maniah the rest of this year. No

547
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: no more. I don't want to see them on the

548
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 1: mound again ever the rest of the season.

549
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 3: So you can bring him that message that nice.

550
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 7: I will be happy to commit that to him.

551
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 6: He's been wearing that sandwhich was born around town. JP.

552
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 7: Here's my question for you, my esteemed friend and radio host.

553
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 7: I'm going to now turn the question back to you.

554
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 7: Sure bring three game series wild Card series for the Mets.

555
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 7: Who are your three starting pitchers?

556
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 3: Oh?

557
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 1: McLain, McClain, rain delay, snow delay, mcclan mclaan, no, McLain

558
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: sprote and Tong. You're going mc yes, I'm going all

559
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: the kids and if you need to piggyback, because I

560
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 1: think piggyback. You know, it's funny we talked with this

561
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: last week. You know, the bullpen games have been really

562
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: in vogue the last you know, five to seven years

563
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: in playoffs major League Baseball.

564
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 3: I think piggybacking is going to be the.

565
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: New bullpen games, where teams, oh, we can do this

566
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 1: with our starting pitchers. The Mets started to do it

567
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: a little bit ago with some of their with a

568
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 1: couple of their guys, and it worked a little bit.

569
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 1: So I can see a situation where hey, I can

570
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: see a piggybacking of say Tong and Clay Holmes, and

571
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: that's how they're going to do it. And I think

572
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: more teams are going to go, oh, we don't kill

573
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: our bullpen. We can you know, we use two starting pitch,

574
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: which we can do. Hey, why not do that? And

575
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: that might work out better for us. I think the

576
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 1: I think the what teams like the Mets are doing

577
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 1: this is the beginning of a new trend in baseball.

578
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 7: I love it, and I am sure let let the

579
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 7: Baseball Record reflect you heard it here first on the

580
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 7: Jason Smith Show, that this is the new paradigm of

581
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 7: pitching in Major League Baseball in the postseason is the

582
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 7: piggyback of the bullpen game. I love the idea, and

583
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 7: let me tell you why I love the idea the

584
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 7: way that you're describing it. If you are putting a

585
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 7: young pitcher into a postseason cauldron, as the Toronto Blue

586
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 7: Jays may also do with Trey Savage, you might as

587
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 7: well have the young man keep the role that he's

588
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 7: had for his entire career. They're all starting pitchers. It's

589
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 7: asking a lot of Jonah Thong to come into a

590
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 7: seventh inning, men on base, complete chaos, you're on the road,

591
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 7: the crowd's going berserk. Why do that? Let him start?

592
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 7: He's been a starter, that's what he's comfortable doing. And

593
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 7: then have someone like Clay Holmes, who has relieved for

594
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 7: most of his major league career, have play.

595
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 2: Do that.

596
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 7: I think that you are now an adjunct professor on

597
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 7: the School of Baseball at City Field, and I shall

598
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 7: convey when I see my good friends, Carlos Mendoza, bench

599
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 7: coach John Gibbon. I'll convey your your plan and I

600
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 7: think that it. I suspect they will look favorably upon it.

601
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 4: You get one of those adjunct professorships, go in there

602
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 4: and speak wisdom.

603
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 7: Adjunct Jason Smith. Let's get so, Mike, here's the thing.

604
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 7: Maybe for for Christmas, for him the holidays, you know,

605
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 7: get him a gift that is Jason Smith, Adjunct Professor

606
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 7: the School of.

607
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 4: I think we should start the guard well probably, I

608
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 4: mean people would want a degree in that.

609
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 6: I mean they can print one from home. It'll work.

610
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 6: Let me ask you one one thing before we let

611
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 6: you go.

612
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 4: JP plenty of time to chew this over the off season,

613
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 4: but on Tuesday, the Competition Committee voted to bring in

614
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 4: the robot umps. A lot to be sorted out and

615
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 4: details that we'll deal with over time here, But what's

616
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 4: your immediate reaction to it.

617
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 7: I think that it's good. It was inevitable that it

618
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 7: was going to happen, just based on the data that

619
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 7: had been coming in. The Commissioner talked about this at

620
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 7: length in recent months. Years. MLB has put a ton

621
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 7: of research and thought into the rule changes. And I

622
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 7: do think this will change the way that we watch

623
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 7: the game in a more profound way than the pitch timer.

624
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 7: The pitch timer, To be honest, guys, I barely even

625
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 7: think about it anymore. I know that it's there, I

626
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 7: know the game is moving faster, but I often don't

627
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 7: think about it. I do think about the number of engagements.

628
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 7: I think about the bigger basis and how many stolen

629
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 7: bases we see now. That stuff I think about, But

630
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 7: the timer I don't. I think this is going to

631
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 7: be a little bit distinctive in that, by definition, multiple

632
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,719
Speaker 7: times per game we're going to be reminded of the

633
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 7: existence of this technology. And I think the most fascinating

634
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 7: thing Mike will be internal and how teams say which

635
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 7: players can challenge, how those players feel about it, how

636
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 7: you feel if you get a chance to challenge, or

637
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 7: if a teammate gets a privileged to challenge at any

638
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 7: time and you don't. It's like having a sibling who

639
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 7: has a different curfew than you do. And it's that

640
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 7: is a very complicated feeling that I think will internally

641
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 7: unfold in fascinating ways that have far reaching implications. So

642
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 7: this is objectively one of the biggest changes we have seen.

643
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 7: Of all the changes that have occurred under Rob Manford,

644
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 7: I think this is one of the most important and

645
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 7: most most transformative, honestly for the game of baseball.

646
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: All right, Lastly, John Paul, your moonlighting job as NFL

647
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions prognosticator. They are favored by eight and a

648
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: half points at home this week against the Browns.

649
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 3: What's the final score?

650
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 7: Detroit twenty eight, Cleveland seventeen seventeen?

651
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 6: Wow?

652
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 3: You think twenty eight points?

653
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 7: In fairness? I was close on the margin of victory

654
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 7: for the Lions over the Ravens. I didn't have the

655
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 7: total points correct, but I was darn close on the

656
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 7: on the margin, So I might be honest with this year.

657
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 7: I got the guys, if the Mariners are going to

658
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 7: win the division, this is the year of the MOROSSI, Ah.

659
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, but that means you might get cocky. JP. You

660
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 6: got to make sure you check yourself.

661
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 7: That's how people get trouble within yourself in yourself.

662
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: See John Paul Morosse, the MLB Network, Mets and the Cubs,

663
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: plenty of offense coming up the rest of this week,

664
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: and Wrigley with the wind blowing out. John Paul is

665
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: always buddy, appreciated, enjoying the games. We'll talk to you next.

666
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 7: Week, looking forward to my friends. Thank you so much,

667
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 7: See you, buddy.

668
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,959
Speaker 1: Right there goes John Paul Morosi. Great stuff from him

669
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: as always. He must really think the Lions are gonna

670
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: score a lot of points, because normally he says twenty four,

671
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: but twenty eight.

672
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 3: Now for the whoa, that's a big offensive thing.

673
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, look, it's he's banking on Joe Flacco

674
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 4: to give up seven. Maybe short fields, I don't know.

675
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 4: We'll see eight Aiden Hutchinson, maybe with a little punch

676
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 4: out and stripsack kind of thing.

677
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 6: I don't know, We'll.

678
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: See Tom how to find out what's trending in the

679
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: wide world of sports. So someone who's been called the

680
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco of Fox Sports Radio, he's Elite's had some

681
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: kind of career and he is elite.

682
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 3: It is deep to say thank you.

683
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 2: I think let's get to the baseball scoreboard. Is the

684
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 2: Dodgers show?

685
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 10: Hey, Otani has pitched six innings tonight, for the first

686
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 10: time in two years his era this season two point

687
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 10: eight seven. The Dodgers were up for to nothing at

688
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 10: Arizona in the seventh. By the way, Otani's career ERA

689
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 10: is under three now. Of course, as soon as Otani

690
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 10: comes out, the bullpen gives up a run. So it's

691
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 10: four to one at Arizona at the bottom of the

692
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 10: seventh inning.

693
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: You know you can help me out here, Steve. I

694
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: hold on to this lead. You know, I'm just saying

695
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: you could.

696
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 3: It's right.

697
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 10: We'll get to Arizona and for San Francisco and Saint

698
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 10: Louis in just a moment.

699
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 3: But the Dodger I don't worry about that one.

700
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 10: At Arizona bottom of the seventh Oughtani had eight strike

701
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 10: outs no walks in his six scoreless innings. The Padres

702
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 10: hit two early homers, including a grand slam. There's still

703
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 10: up six to nothing on Milwaukee in the bottom of

704
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 10: the eighth, the Dodgers trying to hold on to the

705
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 10: two and a half game lead over San Diego and

706
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 10: the NL West. The Padres did at least clinch a

707
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 10: playoff berth last night. As for the Saint Louis at

708
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 10: San Francisco game, the Giants had come back for a

709
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 10: seven to three lead over the Cardinals. Bottom of the six.

710
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 10: Giants have lost eight of ten The regular season ends

711
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 10: this Sunday. San Francisco and Saint Louis were three and

712
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 10: a half games out of the final NL wildcard going

713
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 10: into today. The Reds were the holders of that spot.

714
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 10: They had won five in a row, but Cincinnati lost

715
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 10: at home tonight four two to Pittsburgh, and then the

716
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 10: Mets hit a two run homer top of the eighths

717
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 10: to win nine to seven at the Cubs. Cubs have

718
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 10: lost five in a row. The saved Edwin Diaz in

719
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 10: New York two perfect innings, five strikeouts. The Mets lead

720
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 10: the Reds by one game for the final NL wildcard spot,

721
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 10: and my goodness, Cleveland is tied with the Tigers for

722
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 10: first place in the Al Central. Cleveland down by twelve

723
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 10: and a half games in the standings less than a

724
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 10: month ago. This is the worst collapse since they've had

725
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 10: divisions in Major League Baseball, and that goes back to

726
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 10: the nineteen sixties. Cleveland beat the slumping Detroit team five

727
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 10: to two tonight. Detroit has dropped ten of its last eleven,

728
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,959
Speaker 10: seven in a row, and now the Cleveland Guardians had

729
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 10: the tiebreaker over Detroit. Boston won four to one at

730
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,399
Speaker 10: first place Toronto in the AL East, the Blue Jays

731
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 10: lead is down to one game over the Yankees. Yanks

732
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 10: got two runs in the bottom of the ninth edge

733
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 10: the White Sox three to two, and the Yankees clinch

734
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 10: a playoff berth Atlanta won its tenth game in a row.

735
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 10: Texas lost its eighth straight. Miami won its seventh in

736
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 10: a row. Baltimore shut out Tampa Bay. Right now in

737
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 10: the ALS, the Mariners are losing and Houston is losing

738
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 10: at Seattle. Mariners down three to one to the Rockies

739
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 10: in the top of the eighth. In Northern California, it's

740
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 10: now the A's four to one over Houston. In the

741
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 10: bottom of the fifth. WNBA semifinal games over for the nine.

742
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 10: Las Vegas at home blew out Indiana ninety to sixty eight.

743
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 10: That best of five tied at a game apiece. Phoenix

744
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 10: came back for an overtime win at Minnesota. Phoenix was

745
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 10: down twenty mid third quarter. Game threes will be on

746
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 10: Friday night. The New York Liberty fired coach Sandy Brondello,

747
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 10: who won the championship a year ago. They just lost

748
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 10: in the first round as the five seed, and at

749
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 10: the postgame press conference, superstar Breanna Stewart was asked about

750
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 10: her coach maybe not coming back. She couldn't believe the

751
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 10: question was even asked, well, guess what her coach isn't

752
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 10: coming back? Technically, the Liberty declined to pick up her

753
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 10: contract option. Oklahoma State fired and paid off coach Mike Gundy.

754
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 10: He was in his twenty first year there. He has

755
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 10: now owed fifteen million dollars. New York Giants rookie quarterback

756
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 10: Jackson Dart will start this week. Tampa Bay wide receiver

757
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,560

00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 10: a strain, hamstering back to you.

786
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,919
Speaker 1: of the year up until this point, or the game

787
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:09,280

Speaker 1: awaited return of Micah Parsons to Dallas Sunday Night Football

789
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: Packers and the Cowboys. Already, the war of words has

790
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: been thrown around Parson says, Hey, sacking Dak Prescott because

791
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: you know he plans on sacking Dak Prescott. Uh, sacking

792
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott is gonna be painful. Meanwhile, Jerry Jones, it.

793
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 6: Was like a threat. I think he has to be suspended.

794
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: It's getting It's gonna be painful. Like wow, Uh, that's

795
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: my guy. He was always a good mentor for me.

796
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: But you know how it is. This is what he's talling.

797
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: He's not saying, hey, I'm gonna break his leg. He

798
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 1: said he went full club or laying Yeah, he went,

799
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,879
Speaker 1: you know, prediction for the fight. This is like yeah, yeah,

800
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 1: of course it's gonna be pay It's gonna be tough.

801
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:54,879
Speaker 1: But he went on to say really glowing things about

802
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. For a teammate, but also juiced up for

803
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: this game is Jerry Jones. Because here's Jerry Jones from

804
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: his weekly appearance on one O four to three The Fan,

805
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,280
Speaker 1: in which he said that, yeah, he's kind of happy

806
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 1: at the extra bit of juice that Michah Parson's coming

807
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: back to Dallas.

808
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 3: Is going to bring this game.

809
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 5: I've said this time and time again, and I think

810
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,240
Speaker 5: the world of Micah as an individual and of course,

811
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 5: knowing well. But and then mind say I wish him well,

812
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 5: except it's obvious I don't this weekend in terms of

813
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 5: winning the ball game.

814
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't you know.

815
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: But while I'm talking to you on the radio, got

816
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: my middle finger up because I really don't feel that.

817
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 7: No.

818
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: Uh, here's the thing, right, and this is what we

819
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: have told you about Jerry Jones. And I actually saw

820
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: this on ESPN today, So congratulations for a take that

821
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: we gave you like months ago. How about that look?

822
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,760
Speaker 1: Of course Jerry Jones excited? Right, of course he's excited

823
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: because it's all here. Dallas has They're going to have

824
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: a miserable season. Their defense is abysmal, right, And we

825
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 1: told you that. For Jerry Jones, winning is a blurred

826
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: line where he can win on the field or off

827
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: the field, and it's all the same to him. If

828
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are great on the field, awesome, right, that's great.

829
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: But if the Cowboys are great off the field via

830
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: relevancy attention, this is what he craves. He knows that, Hey,

831
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: winning the Super Bowl every year is hard to do,

832
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: and we can't do it now thirty years I've been

833
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 1: able to do it despite the fact, they're America's team.

834
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: But if he wins off the field with attention and

835
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 1: relevancy and the value of the franchise and the Cowboys

836
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: still being the pre eminent franchise and all of the NFL,

837
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: which is the biggest sport in the country, he wins.

838
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: That's how Jerry Jones measures winning. It's why Dallas has

839
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,720
Speaker 1: been They've been able to be mediocre on the field

840
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: for the last thirty years because they've been great in business. Now,

841
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: the team could probably sell the team for fifteen billion dollars. Right,

842
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: If you're buying the Cowboys, it would be at least

843
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: fifteen billion dollars, right, It's the same to him. This

844
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,879
Speaker 1: is why Jerry Jones can be excited even though, hey,

845
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 1: we got to get a win, X, Y, and Z

846
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 1: is because this is a big game and the trade

847
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: of Micah Parsons has made the Dallas Cowboys once again

848
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: front and center stage. We're talking about this game that's

849
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,760
Speaker 1: coming up in five days on Tuesday. This is winning

850
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: for Jerry Jones. It's why the Cowboys don't win on

851
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: the field, because, hey, most owners want to win. Hey,

852
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: we want to want to win. But Jerry Jones likes

853
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: to win this way as well. In some ways, it's

854
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: better for him to win off the field because it's

855
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,959
Speaker 1: about him. It's not about the Cowboys winning. It's about

856
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones. This is nothing that's different. But congratulations to

857
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: people who figure out right now.

858
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, look to be clear, as I've said the I

859
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 4: understand we're counting Super bowls. They got five double digit

860
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 4: win seasons in the last nine years. Damn it, I

861
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 4: got that in my lifetime. They're crying out loud, Okay,

862
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,879
Speaker 4: so we need to calm down there. What I want

863
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 4: to see, though, is Lafleur get really creative, because that

864
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 4: secondary stinks. I want to see him run Micah Parsons

865
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 4: out and just let him run a fly route.

866
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: I wish they have a thing where you could call

867
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: plays like that. That would be awesome.

868
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,919
Speaker 6: Just let them go out and try try one deep ball.

869
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 4: Look, I umiliated you because I scored a sixty eight

870
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 4: yard touchdown and I sacked your quarterback twice.

871
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,959
Speaker 1: Take that exit out bout a Fresca exit swollen Dobe,

872
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: Jason Smith, Mike Harbon.

873
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 3: Remember this is how Jerry Jones wins. It's the only way.

874
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: Coming up next, a big game from this Sunday where

875
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 1: I feel better about the team that lost than the

876
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: team that won.

877
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 3: That's next, Jason to Mike Fox Sports Radio,
