At Stick a Genius one where 73 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 3: you find and find me. Over at Swollendome, we got 74 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 3: the Dodgers and the Guardians show haze on the mound. 75 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 3: We've got the Lakers getting after it here against the 76 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 3: Cavaliers thirty four to thirty two coming up on the 77 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 3: end of the first period as we go through. So 78 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 3: a lot of action across the sporting universe, and we've 79 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 3: had some fun with it. NFL Owners meetings and all 80 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 3: of that fun. Our guy Jay Glazer having his annual Hey, 81 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 3: let's get all the coaches together, and. 82 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 4: They wish you can go to that, to the coach 83 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 4: to the owners meeting kind of you know, walk around, 84 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 4: get drunk with them and see which ones you know, 85 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 4: just spills secrets. 86 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 3: Well, we know who they are, and I think that's 87 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 3: been determined. The key is, I think to get an 88 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 3: invite to our guy Glazier's pow wow with the coaches 89 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 3: where they're telling tales out of school, all right, So 90 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 3: that that, I think is where the bigger thing is. Uh. 91 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 3: I'm sure they all thanked McVeigh and and Peyton and 92 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 3: Glazier for they were all picking up the checks. But 93 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 3: but all of that to say, when we're looking at 94 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 3: the NFL, uh, they look it never sleeps. Yesterday was 95 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,799 Speaker 3: one of the stories of the Ravens and it carried 96 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 3: into today of well, the Max Crosby deal was only 97 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 3: a big deal because it was a slow news cycle. 98 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 3: It was like no, no, no, no no. That may have 99 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 3: impacted hundreds of millions of dollars of transactions and certainly 100 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 3: for two franchises changed how they were doing business. And 101 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 3: you could say Frederickson was there and he was still 102 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 3: a nice, viable option. He ain't Max Crosby on his 103 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 3: best day in terms of being a complete player, not 104 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 3: to mention the whole draft pick conferring U. And now 105 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 3: you've got a guy that's coming off an injury that 106 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 3: we knew wasn't going to pass the physical, but now 107 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 3: it casts dispersions as to how quickly he'll able to 108 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 3: get it remedied. And you've had had to have his 109 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 3: doctor make statements aletrage and all of these guys coming 110 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 3: out to say no, no, no, no, he's on track, he's on track. 111 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 3: This is all good, but it's that part of the 112 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 3: season ahead of the draft, where to this point there's 113 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 3: only really been one story out of the draft, Arnie, 114 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 3: that will carry us seemingly for the next month, and 115 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 3: that's all just do you love Fernando Mendoza or not? 116 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 4: Right, and that everybody wasn't see. But that's really not 117 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 4: a draft thing. He'll just go number one and people 118 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 4: will speculate that. 119 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 6: But there are there will be the stories. 120 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 4: You know, who's gonna be jocking for position for another quarterback? 121 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 4: Are they gonna wait till next year? You know who's 122 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 4: gonna stockpile their draft picks so they have the chance 123 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 4: to move up to get archbanning the following draft. That's 124 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 4: a big thing to look at. I see my Dolphins 125 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 4: of stock they have like a million draft picks. 126 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 3: That's great. They've got nobody to actually make a proper pick. 127 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 4: Right Well, you know there's gonna be a lot of 128 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 4: people working now for that number one pick in the 129 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 4: following year. By getting as many draft picks as they 130 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 4: can so they could trade up, they're getting a position 131 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 4: right now. 132 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 6: That's what you have to do. 133 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 4: Got to look a year or two ahead of time, 134 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 4: and next year is gonna be the ideal draft for quarterback. 135 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 3: There it is the old it's next year. It's like, uh, 136 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 3: what what you're telling me is that the NFL this 137 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 3: year is gonna look like the NBA and it's five 138 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 3: we're gonna talk about how it sucks because half the 139 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 3: teams are tanged, no, actually trying to get a quarterback. 140 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 4: I think the NBA, for the first time in a 141 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 4: long time, the entire first round of the draft is 142 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 4: gonna be phenomenal players we've seen this year that have 143 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 4: had good years, that have dominated, that played for major programs. 144 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 6: You're gonna see take it in the first round. 145 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 4: I just one quick example, like the kid for Arizona 146 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 4: who's seven too, Moe Crevas. Everybody's seen him, You've seen 147 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 4: a mic He may be the last pick. 148 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 6: In the first round. 149 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 4: So think of all the freshmen that will go before 150 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 4: him and some of the other ones. So it will 151 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 4: be the NBA is gonna have a great draft. The 152 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 4: NFL always has a great draft of numbers, but it 153 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 4: won't be you know, maybe as exciting. 154 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 3: I think no, And that's the the larger thing, right, Yeah, 155 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 3: quarterbacks moved the needle, and certainly next like we thought 156 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 3: this year was supposed to be a great class, aren't 157 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 3: he right? Everybody was talking up this year, and then 158 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 3: these guys actually had to go do what actually playing 159 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 3: a damn football game? Well, and then one after another 160 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 3: they were either terrible or got benched, or decided to transfer, 161 00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 3: or decided to stay in college another year. 162 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 4: In a row, Champs or something, Yeah, like Champlains. Who 163 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 4: I mean that guy's his what fifteenth year? 164 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 6: I believe well, he is one. 165 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 3: Of the great stories of the day. And this one 166 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 3: came down as we're getting things prepped today, clearing another 167 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 3: legal hurdle in all of these things U and trying 168 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 3: to make sure that he can stay eligible to play. 169 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 5: Is. 170 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 3: Look, you have no guarantees right the NBA. If you 171 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 3: don't get drafted in the first round, guess what, Unless 172 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 3: your name is Brownie James, you're not getting any guaranteed money. Right. 173 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 3: You may have to go to Europe. You may have 174 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 3: to just go to the G League. You may have 175 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 3: to wish and hope and pray and and do the 176 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 3: JOBU hats for bats kind of thing like in Major 177 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 3: League that something's going to open up playing time for you. 178 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 4: It needs to be used to be first round picks 179 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 4: automatically had well not only made the NBA, but you 180 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 4: were having a good career in the NBA. 181 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 6: That's no longer true. 182 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 3: Well, but you at least get your guaranteed money, right, 183 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 3: that's your star, right, so it comes the all Right, 184 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 3: if I know I'm solidly in the top twenty, then 185 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 3: I'm going to declare, right, I'll get my three years. 186 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 3: We'll get that much closer because I'm any good. I'm 187 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 3: that year closer to whatever the second contract will be. 188 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 3: As opposed to guys who are tweeters that now it's 189 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 3: just easier to just say, forget it. I'm not even 190 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 3: gonna bother. We stay in college and then you bounce around, 191 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 3: you know, I put up the grid. I talked with 192 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 3: Torres when he was in with us last night, Aaron 193 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 3: Torres at Aaron Underscore. Torres is where you find him 194 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 3: in the Twitter verse, showing the grid that the only 195 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 3: team that had all five of their starters that had 196 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 3: been with the organization, and I use that term specifically, 197 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 3: was Michigan State. Now you had a number that had 198 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 3: four or three starters, and certainly, yeah, you take it 199 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 3: out to rotations. We could talk about those numbers but 200 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 3: the number of transfers and changes at the NCAA basketball 201 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 3: side's certainly immense. But from the football side, same thing. Right, 202 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 3: if you're not guaranteed a day one grade, it becomes 203 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 3: the weight I can go back and play, right Carson 204 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 3: Beck famously being asked, Hey, what was the last class 205 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 3: you went to, he laughed and said two years ago? 206 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 4: Right, right, I remember that. Yeah, Well, because that's where 207 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 4: all the money is. Now, you can go back to 208 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 4: college and make yourself a boatload of money. But still 209 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 4: people you know want to go professional. You know who 210 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 4: came up with the top twenty number. 211 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 6: If you're not a top twenty pick. 212 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 3: Well that's just mine because once you get past that, 213 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 3: you only have ten more picks in the round. 214 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 6: Right, and now we're. 215 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 3: Talking you might not be the flavor of one of 216 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 3: those teams. Right. So the although nowadays I think you 217 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 3: can declare and even if you go and play anymore, 218 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 3: you can go back to college. Well, I hope you 219 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 3: challenge that in leagues. 220 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 4: I hope you're right, because out of all Arizona's freshman, 221 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 4: only one's going to be in the top twenty, and 222 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 4: that's Burrows. I don't think Colea Pete is going to 223 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 4: be in the top twenty. Crevos won't be. Can you 224 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 4: imagine if those guys came back for another year, they'd 225 00:10:58,800 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 4: be number one easily. 226 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 6: But I don't know. 227 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 4: If I'm a first round pick, I'm still gonna think 228 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 4: about going ahead. Even though you can get money in college, 229 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 4: you can get pretty good money depending on where you 230 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 4: go to school and how big your name is. 231 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean a lot of it comes down to 232 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 3: are you ready? Right, family and the people surrounding you 233 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 3: are are you mature enough? Are you someone that actually 234 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 3: likes school in the college experience may be not ready 235 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 3: because there's a lot of stuff that, well, you're not 236 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 3: supposed to do. I'm not gonna say you're gonna get 237 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 3: yourself excluded most of the time, because, let's face it, 238 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 3: trying to decide and you can attest to this as 239 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 3: well as I can trying to determine it between an 240 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 3: eighteen and a twenty one year old good luck. 241 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know what, Mike, I gotta tell you 242 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 4: if and I know he's going to be what the 243 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 4: number one pick, probably or at least the top three pick. 244 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 6: Let's just say I'm talking about Boozer of Duke. 245 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 4: I'm not so sure that going into the NBA is 246 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 4: the best move for him right now. 247 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 6: Mike, he plays at least fifty percent of his. 248 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 4: Points come from bullyball in and you're not doing that 249 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 4: when you get to the next level. A lot of 250 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 4: the other freshmen have got some serious skills. A j 251 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 4: at b y aj at b yu. He's phenomenal. He's 252 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 4: about the closest thing I've seen the Kobe in a 253 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 4: long No, no, I'm serious. 254 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 3: I just got Frostburg throw up on the other side 255 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 3: of the glass. 256 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 6: I'm telling you that guy is a player, man, and 257 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 6: I'm not kidding around. I would love to have him. 258 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 4: I think Peterson is gonna be a good player, though 259 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 4: you know, obviously Peter people got questioned about him in 260 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 4: Kansas because of the injuries and all that. But there's 261 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 4: a lot of freshmen that you can get that look really, 262 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 4: really good. I'm not so sure Boozer has that type 263 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 4: of scoring ability except for when he plays bullyball, and 264 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 4: I just that's not gonna happen in the NBA. 265 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 6: I think he has to work on. 266 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 4: His shooting and his scoring on his jump shots, so 267 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 4: I would probably come back and the way the end 268 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 4: of the year, why not come back four more years? 269 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 5: You know? 270 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 3: Well look yeah, well, I mean that's multiple years in 271 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 3: a row that you've had that issue. But really quick again, 272 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 3: if you're if you're projected top three, top five, how 273 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 3: are you going back to school? 274 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 2: Aren'ty? 275 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 6: You can't? You can't, you can't. 276 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,559 Speaker 3: I mean, look, you you've got other parts of your 277 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 3: game to round into. But anybody that's coming in after 278 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 3: a one and done, you're not a finished product by 279 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 3: any way, shape or form, physically, mentally, all of that. 280 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 3: There's still a lot of growth that needs to happen. 281 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 3: And the only downside is, let's face it, some of 282 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 3: the organizations you may go to are just this side 283 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 3: of the Dolphins or Jets on the NBA side of things. 284 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,719 Speaker 3: He's already spandering for Jason Smith.

We've been 354 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 8: hoping and waiting four years. Mere recommendatore in the Rinkunzi 355 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 8: de la foncioni dil carcio in Italia. It's the recommendation 356 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 8: for me, is an entire reimagination. We have arrived at 357 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 8: the absolute nadir of this journey. We are at the 358 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 8: low point. We must now. 359 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 5: Rebuild, whether it is bringing back Roberto Baggio and all 360 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 5: of his insight or finding some pass forward. But there 361 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 5: is insight for the game in my homeland, but we 362 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 5: are not playing that way right now. And so four 363 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 5: long years of waiting for the next World Cup, I 364 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 5: congratulate Bosnia and Herzegovina with a great moment for that country. 365 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 5: But an equal measure, a very difficult one for one 366 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 5: of for one that is very dear to my heart, 367 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 5: that of course, being Italy. 368 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 6: How big you know, I. 369 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 4: Was wondering the country, how how big do they take this? 370 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 5: Man? 371 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 4: I mean, equate it to what we do here in 372 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 4: the United States. 373 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 3: Football is life. 374 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 5: Well, it's an interesting question, Arnie and Mike because and 375 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 5: this is something as we talk about this World Cup year, 376 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 5: and of course Fox Sports is going to do a 377 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 5: great job broadcasting this amazing event around the world. There 378 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 5: is really nothing in sports. There is no national team 379 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 5: in the United States that would promote and bring about 380 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 5: such self loathing, introspection period of mourning, however we wann 381 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 5: to describe it. If they lose a game. Obviously we 382 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,199 Speaker 5: did not win the World Baseball Classic. We are not 383 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 5: still in mourning over that. If our basketball team did 384 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 5: not win a gold medal at the Olympics, it would 385 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 5: be a story for a few days, then we would 386 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 5: move on. In Italy, there is no moving on. This 387 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 5: is the sun and the moon and the stars. When 388 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 5: I was over there for the Olympics, and I would 389 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 5: look at La Gazetta detO sport, which is still my 390 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 5: favorite publication anywhere in the world. There is a fifty 391 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 5: page every day all sports newspaper, and you buy it 392 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 5: in print and you read it. It is every day at 393 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 5: the news stand there, and even in the Olympics, the 394 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 5: paper was roughly half Italian soccer and then half the 395 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 5: Olympics that were happening in the country. There was still 396 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 5: more at least as much as the focus was on 397 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 5: Italian soccer, and so it will be pages and days 398 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 5: of mourning after this loss today, and it's just it's 399 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 5: the accumulation. It was missing it in eighteen, missing it 400 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 5: in twenty two. But there's no comparison here because if 401 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 5: the Chiefs win the Super Bowl and their team loses it, well, 402 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 5: Kansas City is happy and the other the other countries, 403 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 5: the other city isn't happy. It's different. It's the entire 404 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 5: country in mourning. And there is no national sports team 405 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 5: that matters in the United States anywhere close to what 406 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 5: that team matters on a per person basis in Italy 407 00:20:59,040 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 5: I JB. 408 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 3: Well, in European soccer, you get relegated if you don't 409 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 3: play well. What can Major League Baseball do? Four and 410 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,360 Speaker 3: two mister Buckner at this point after the most egregious 411 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 3: error call on first base. One thing we'll talking about, 412 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 3: you know, a game of millimeters behind the dish. But 413 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 3: the call tonight just exacerbates it all. 414 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 5: A couple of things. 415 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 3: Number one. 416 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:30,120 Speaker 5: CB has been a really respected member of the baseball 417 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 5: family for a long time, regardless of the accuracy or 418 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 5: lack thereof, of how it is. Look in the last 419 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 5: couple of days, he really is is He's a very 420 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 5: popular person. In the game is what I will say 421 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 5: at the outset number one, and so I do think 422 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 5: this might be one of the unintended consequences of this 423 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 5: new system. The good news is that those calls are 424 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 5: getting corrected. That's the good news, Okay. The bad news 425 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 5: is that a good person's reputation is becoming a bit 426 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 5: of a punchline in the in the start of the season, 427 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 5: which is unfortunate and on some level, perhaps the more 428 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 5: that your work is critiqued, and if you use the 429 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 5: playing side of the equation, sometimes you're in a slump 430 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 5: and you and you can't hit, and then you get 431 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 5: booed and you try harder and you get boots some 432 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 5: more and you strike out some more. That's probably the 433 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 5: umpiring equivalent right now of of what's going on. There's 434 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 5: just mistakes are happening. Yes, he makes mistakes. We all 435 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 5: make mistakes. The rate of the mistakes does seem to 436 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 5: stand out. But the positive side is that because of 437 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 5: the system, it's not costing teams games at the moment 438 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 5: that he's that he is getting corrected. So that's to me, 439 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 5: it is it's unfortunate. I don't think anything will happen 440 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,199 Speaker 5: to him if we're being honest, the umpires have a 441 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 5: great union, they have a great job security. I don't 442 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 5: think he's going to be reassigned to a different league 443 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 5: in the in the first weeks of the season. They'll 444 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 5: try to work with them on whatever accuracy issues he 445 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 5: might be able to correct. But in terms of him 446 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 5: getting an option to triple a as can happen for 447 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 5: a player, I don't think that's going to happen. And 448 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 5: and I suppose two things will either happen. Either here 449 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 5: will get better or he won't. And and if he doesn't, 450 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,719 Speaker 5: then that might be something that handled more in a 451 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 5: longer term review. But in the near term, I do 452 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 5: not believe anything's gonna happen. 453 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,959 Speaker 4: You know, JP they say it's gonna be obsolete anyway, 454 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 4: that umpires are gonna be obsolete. Never we're gonna go 455 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 4: to robot umpires. I don't know if people think that 456 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 4: we're gonna see what C three po standing behind the 457 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 4: plate from Star Wars or something, But they're not gonna 458 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 4: be obsolute. We still need him around, don't we. 459 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 5: We do, And for a variety of reasons, you still 460 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 5: need people to make the true judgment calls that that 461 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 5: that a machine would not be able to detect such 462 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 5: a as a balk. Not that we're going to have 463 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 5: four umpires paid for the express purpose of BOCH monitoring. 464 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 5: That would be Now. 465 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 3: That is a union power right there, that would be 466 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 3: that would. 467 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 5: Be next level of union power. What are we doing here, guys, 468 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 5: We're here to watch for box. Really, that's that's the 469 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 5: whole job. Yep, just doing box here. I think that 470 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 5: I believe that for as long as I am covering 471 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 5: the game, hopefully it's a long time, that we will 472 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 5: still see four people on the infield. I just there 473 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 5: are too many calls that are still in the realm 474 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 5: of judgment and monitoring, the number of outs, the number 475 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 5: of disengagements that are allowed, monitoring the shift, the shift 476 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 5: rule that is come into play, a lot of things 477 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 5: infield fly rule that you do need a human being 478 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 5: there to handle. And so I don't believe they're going 479 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 5: to be obsolete. I don't believe that they're going to 480 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 5: go away and the game is going to look different. 481 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 5: But there's no question Arnie and Mike that their work, 482 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,199 Speaker 5: the work of umpires who buy and large do a 483 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 5: magnificent job. It is it is being held to a 484 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 5: different standard now, and I think we're realizing just how 485 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 5: fine the points are in this sport. I mean, if 486 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 5: you really go back and look at it, Baseball, unlike football, 487 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 5: provides this very quick it is it is quick, but 488 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 5: it's there a very rapid amount of review for every 489 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 5: single moment on the field basically. I mean there are 490 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 5: some that are not, but for the most part, every 491 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 5: pitch in terms of the location. Think about if we 492 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 5: had this same situation, the same setup, where you could 493 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:53,199 Speaker 5: challenge within a fraction of an inch the spot on 494 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 5: every single play in football. Wow, those games would last 495 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 5: for six days. They would never never end because every 496 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 5: coach wanted no, no, no. I think it's it's on 497 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 5: this ash marked, not that ash mark. Now, I think 498 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 5: it's an inch forward. So it's baseball, because of its nature, 499 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 5: is more susceptible to this conversation than any other sport. 500 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 5: And that's good and it's also challenging. And I think 501 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 5: that we're seeing that other part. But again, by all arts, 502 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,959 Speaker 5: this is a very very good thing. But we're seeing 503 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 5: some of the complexities now as you look at CEB's 504 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 5: work and other umpires that might be under similar scrutiny 505 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:34,880 Speaker 5: as season goes along. 506 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, we certainly talk about a game of inches. Some 507 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 3: of these reviews. He was zero point three inches off. 508 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 5: Oh, and we have seen some that are that are 509 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 5: a tenths of an inch. Everybody that still has the 510 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 5: English customary system rule or hanging out around the house, 511 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 5: just like, go look at that and then realize how 512 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 5: big or small a tenth of an inch is, and 513 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 5: then realize that that was how much an umpire was 514 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 5: correct or not correct by on something that was thrown 515 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 5: at them at one hundred miles an hour from sixty 516 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 5: feet away. It's really hard to be accurate with that 517 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 5: particular vocation. And by the way, it's only gotten harder. 518 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 5: It was not quite as challenging when a fastball was 519 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 5: eighty nine well, or. 520 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 3: When you had your own strike zone JP right right 521 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 3: now you're getting conforming to the new measurements and everything else. 522 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 5: Right exactly everybody it used to be. And again this 523 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 5: is going back into the eighties and nineties when there 524 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 5: were different chess protectors American League in the National League, 525 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 5: one was a breaking ball league, what was a fastball league, 526 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 5: all kinds of different ways that the strike zone was 527 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 5: called but you're right. Now you've got everybody's strike zone changing, 528 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 5: and players have been shrinking, at least not actually shrinking, 529 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 5: but there's been measures where classically a player said that 530 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 5: the as he's getting drugged, yeah I'm six feet tall, 531 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 5: and then they all realize that there's as tall as me, 532 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 5: which is yeah. So it's saying come on, come out 533 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 5: by the way, like there have been plenty of players 534 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 5: I've interviewed over the over the years. I'm like, man, 535 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 5: this guy's listening at six feet and I'm looking at 536 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 5: him eye to eye, like, yeah, I feel really good. 537 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 5: I feel really tall. 538 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 3: Now he's got his Gene Simmons boots on. 539 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 5: Come on, yeah, exactly, Maybe he's not six feet tall. 540 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 4: After, you know, JP, I want to ask you this, 541 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,239 Speaker 4: if you ask privately, now, what would they say if 542 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 4: you asked Paul Skeen's and Logan Webb and Cal Riley 543 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 4: and Gunner Henderson and. 544 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 6: Bryce Harper and Eric Judge and Kyle Schwarber. 545 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 4: Was it best plague in the WBC because they're off 546 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 4: the miserable starts? 547 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 5: You know, right, Arnie, it's a fair question. And Skeen 548 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 5: starts again tomorrow. I think he'll be better, and and 549 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 5: Skeen's in particular that that start was was heavily influenced 550 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 5: by the inability of the centerfielder to catch a couple 551 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 5: of balls should have been caught. So I get it, 552 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 5: and Raleigh, you're right, I'm watching him play tonight. Uh seems, 553 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 5: you know, even defensively, doesn't quite seem like he's locked 554 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 5: in yet either. Uh. I think that it's the experience. 555 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 5: I believe to a player, they will all say it 556 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 5: was worth it, that that it was, that it was 557 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 5: a great experience. We're still less than a week in here, 558 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 5: so there's there's still a lot of a lot of 559 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 5: ground to be made up. There's no question that that 560 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 5: you that you're in a bit of a different routine again. 561 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 5: You think about schemes and how little he's actually pitched, 562 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 5: probably in the last ten days, given how abbreviated the 563 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 5: start was. It's not ideal. The the the headline on 564 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 5: your preparation for the season is probably it's not ideal, 565 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 5: but it's worth it. It's not ideal, but it's right. 566 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 5: You get to play on that stage. For a player, 567 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 5: it's it's one of those scrapbook memories in your career. 568 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 5: To play on a national team. And and I'm sure 569 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 5: a lot of these guys are hoping that by playing 570 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 5: they get a chance to come back in a couple 571 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 5: of years of the Olympics and have that experience. So 572 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 5: it if you're gonna slump for a week in a 573 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 5: world where, by the way, your salary is still guaranteed, 574 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 5: but you get to have a chance to have the 575 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 5: experience of a lifetime, it's probably worth it. Now if 576 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 5: all of them by the end of the year are 577 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 5: in the bottom of five percentile of production, then maybe 578 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 5: it's a different conversation. I'll give you a different answer, 579 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 5: but a short term fluctuation and their performance I think 580 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 5: is well worth the journey. And being part of one 581 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 5: of the greatest teams in the world obviously wasn't the 582 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 5: greatest because Venezuela was, but one of the great teams 583 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 5: in the world there with Team USA. 584 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, Cal Rawley should have shaken his man's hand, and 585 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 3: baseball karma wouldn't have got him, even though he had 586 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 3: the game winner last night. 587 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 5: Another that's the other thing, And again that was obviously 588 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 5: well within Cal's control. And and you know, it's hard 589 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 5: again to climb into one's psyche and how it was 590 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 5: all playing out. But it's that was probably kind of 591 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 5: a tough thing for him to have to go through 592 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 5: where people are kind of criticizing him and and you know, 593 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 5: great skeeaking what he did didn't do, and that's kind 594 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 5: of a bummer of a way to to start your 595 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 5: year when you're just trying to represent your country the 596 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 5: best that you can and maybe make a different decision 597 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 5: that wouldn't quite quite has been so loud. But here 598 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 5: we are. It's a it's a very very different time 599 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 5: now and in MLB where that one moment kind of 600 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 5: goes viral, everybody's talking about it and and really hasn't 601 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 5: quite stopped. Still here to this day, there he is. 602 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 3: He's jump Almrosi at John Morosi where you find him 603 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 3: in the Twitter verse, MLB Network, longtime friend of the show. 604 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 3: Send him some condolence notes and and maybe some cool 605 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 3: little memes or stickers to raise his spirits after Italy's loss. 606 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 3: In the dumbest way to decide sporting events, knockout shootout, 607 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 3: I love it. 608 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 5: I appreciate what we were already down to ten men though, 609 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 5: because we Bestni took a straight red card and the yeah, 610 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 5: the first half. So our chance is especially once what 611 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 5: Keen was subbed off, our chances to to get a 612 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 5: goal where we're heavily reduced. But that's the story for 613 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 5: our next conversation. 614 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 3: There you go, that red card decision.
