Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. We were just watching video of Seaton doing

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,239
Speaker 1: his impersonation of Steph Curry when Steph hits a big

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: three and he does the shimmy. That one in your

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: Steve Balmer impersonation. Those are pretty good. I forgot about

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,159
Speaker 1: the shimmy. Oh man. You don't move your arms. You

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: just kind of walk around jiggling a little bit. There. Yeah,

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: good stuff, and then you're Steve Ballmer kind of the

9
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: same way, isn't it is one is more stiff, the

10
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: other is a little more loose. That's Steph Curry shimmy. There.

11
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: It'll be on display tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies. The

12
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 1: winner take all to move on to face the Utaw chance. Yes,

13
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: pot I love the Steve Balmer because the arms are

14
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: against the sides like they're taped down, and then it

15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: looks like he has a back brace on, so the

16
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: potty body moves kind of this pendulou motion. I can't

00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,840

28

Speaker 1: and they already have his jersey out. I ordered a

29
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow jersey yesterday and hopefully it'll be here next week.

30
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: Number eighty five. In your program, Tim Tebow Wizards rolled

31
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: over the Pacers one two, one fifteen. Your MVP finalist

32
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: are Joe Lmbid, Steph Curry and the Joker. Joker is

33
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: the Vegas favorite, but it's hard to have a problem

34
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: the performance of any of these players. Yo kids did

35
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: everything for the Nuggets. Picked up his game even more

36
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: when Jamal Murray went down and bead missed a lot

37
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: of games due to injury, but still led the seventy

38
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: six ers to the number one seed in the East.

39
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: And Curry was brilliant, becoming the second oldest player in

40
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: history to win the scoring title. The problem with awards

41
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: is it's similar to the dilemma with list You're forced

42
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: to focus on the negatives of guys who didn't win.

43
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: Then if the guy who does win the award loses

44
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: early in the playoffs, then we hold that honor against him.

45
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: But when it comes to this year's MVP, taking down

46
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: any of the three players as pointless. They all had

47
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: great seasons, deserve to be celebrated. And I wonder if

48
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: we'll look at the joker the way we did Durk Nevitsky.

49
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: When Nevitsky won his MVP that year, they bowed out

50
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: in the first round of the playoffs. You win that MVP,

51
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 1: you got to make a deep run. It just feels

52
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: like you need to or the voters will hold it

53
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: against you the following year or following years. You know,

54
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: Luca don I think he was probably the favorite to

55
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: start this year to be the MVP. Now maybe he's

56
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: going to be in the top five. But what strange

57
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: is how quickly we move on Luca don Chick is

58
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: twenty three, and it's almost like we go, yeah, and

59
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: we've kind of seen this, Like there's no fascination when's

60
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: the last time you heard us talk about Luca in

61
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: a game that he had the previous night? Last year

62
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: we did in the bubble we did. But you're going, Okay,

63
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: you got any new tricks? Yeah, you kind of flirt

64
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: with a triple double every night. Okay, what else do

65
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: you have? But I'm gonna get a lot of people

66
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: thought Luca was going to be the MVP, and I

67
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: didn't think that he would be because I didn't think

68
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: Dallas would be good enough that he would be the MVP.

69
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: I mean, the reason why Steph is in there because

70
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: you look at that Golden State team with injuries and

71
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: he got him into the play in game, and if

72
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: they win tonight, they're going to be in the opening

73
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: round against the Utah Jazz. Luke I thought was good,

74
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: but I don't know if he got better, you know.

75
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: So that's part of it. There's a formula. It's formulaic

76
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: when it comes to voting on a lot of these awards,

77
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, the Heisman Trophy, the Academy Awards. They love

78
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,239
Speaker 1: a story. Luca wasn't a story this year. Steph Curry

79
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: was a story this year. The Joker was a story

80
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: this year, and Bead was just so great in the

81
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: first half of the season that he was the story.

82
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: Lebron was going to be a story. Lebron was going

83
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: to be the MVP. He was hell bent on being

84
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: the MVP. There's no load management. You had a story there,

85
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: and then he got hurt. James Harden wanted out of Houston.

86
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: I said, you can't vote him for MVP for a

87
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: guy who quit on the Rockets, showed up out of

88
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: shape for the Rockets, wanted out of Houston after he

89
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: built that team to whatever it was, and now he

90
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: goes to the Nets. He's not going to be I

91
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't have him in my top three if he was

92
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: healthy on the MVP list, even though I think he's

93
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: a you know, top five player in the game. I

94
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: just I can't give you credit for something like that.

95
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: You want the story. What are the mvpods to start

96
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: the year, Poet, It's Janie and Luca were tied as

97
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: the favorites, and then you went down to a Steph Curry,

98
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: Lebron Harden, and then it drops a level to Anthony Davis, Kawhi,

99
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant. Poll question mclovin were were staying with what

100
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: we had first, it's who has the most pressure on them.

101
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: In this year's playoffs, Jannie is still leading, but then

102
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: James Harden is creeping up on him. Okay, I don't

103
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: think people like Harden right now. I mean now that

104
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: they dislike him personally, but I feel like people root

105
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: against Hardened a little bit because of the way he

106
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: got out of Houston. Yeah. I don't know if people

107
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: are bothered by it. I am when it comes to

108
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: voting for Most Valuable Player. Now next year, I'd have

109
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: no problem if he's playing great voting him MVP. But

110
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: what he did to Houston, what he did to that

111
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: team that he wanted players in, he wanted players out,

112
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: and then he on it out. I'm sorry, you're just

113
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: not an MVP candidate. Yeah, mcclub. Are these big guys

114
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: gonna be able to win in the playoffs like Joel

115
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: and Yokich and Jannis Like it feels like seven footers

116
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: are in the MVP running, but it's usually like the

117
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: ball handlers who have the ball in their hands and

118
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs, I worry that this is really a six

119
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: or like Mbad's not effective in the playoffs. But if

120
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: you watch the Lakers in that game against Golden State.

121
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: That was playoff basketball. That was true playoff basketball, where

122
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: there was defense and every possession mattered and you played hard.

123
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: That's what I want to know. How are these teams

124
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: going to approach this on a night in, night out

125
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: basis because it's not always pretty. Playoff basketball is not pretty,

126
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: and I think that's what you're going to see. There'll

127
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: be more of that in the postseason eight seven seven

132
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,799
Speaker 1: Former baseball player trying out for an NFL team making

133
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: the roster. Oh no, not Tim Tebow. His name is

134
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: Tyler Gaffney. Gaffney the Panthers sixth round pick on the

135
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen draft. He's thirty years of age. He won

136
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: two Super Bowls as a member of the Patriots in

137
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen twenty sixteen. Then he decided that he was

138
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: going to play baseball. So he was playing baseball for

139
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: a couple of years, at least trying to. He was

140
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: drafted by the Pirates back in twenty twelve, and he

141
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: was with minor league affiliates and eighty nine games he

142
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: played right field, hit two forty four, six homers, thirty

143
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: six RBIs retired from baseball in March of twenty nineteen,

144
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: and he made his return to the NFL, and here

145
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: he is with the Patriots. I don't know if anybody's

146
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: upset about this, are they? Nobody's upset with Tyler Gaffney

147
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: taking a roster spot. He played baseball now he's coming

148
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: back right. Yeah. See he if I'm not mistaken, he

149
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: won both of those He got both of those rings

150
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: from the Patriots and was on injured, was on the

151
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: IR with the hold. I don't think he really played

152
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: much at all. And he if you read his um

153
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: like Wikipedia, it was like he was claimed off waivers

154
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: and then two months later he was waived again by

155
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots, but then nobody picked them up, so the

156
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: Patriots had to keep his contract. Then he won a

157
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl ring. You know, it's a very strange career. Yeah,

158
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: but I don't think anybody's gonna go, hey, you're taking

159
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 1: a roster spot here. You're a great player at Stanford

160
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: but he's uh, he's joining a crowded Patriots backfield. Yeah, Paul,

161
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: he was part of that run at Stanford where they'd

162
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 1: have a fifteen and it's continuing a fifteen hundred yard

163
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: running back every year. His senior year he was a Heisman.

164
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: He had seventeen yeah, seventeen yards and twenty one touchdowns

165
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: his last year at Stamford. Yeah, but nobody's got a

166
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: problem with this, right that he might. He's taken a

167
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 1: roster spot. He was playing baseball here, Yeah, Seed, I

168
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: think he played baseball for a year. Yeah, Okay, it's

169
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: still he left the NFL. Now, I know what it

170
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: comes down to. It's Tim Tebow's polarizing. Tyler Gaffney is not.

171
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: Tyler Gaffney is a dude who tried to stay in

172
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: the NFL and hasn't been able to. He's been up

173
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: and down, up and down through this whole time. He

174
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: didn't take a break to be like a TV commentator

175
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,599
Speaker 1: and then be a movie producer and all will you stop? No,

176
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: no one will slander Tyler Gaffney. You're a buzz show. Yeah,

177
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 1: but they can slander Tim Tebow. By the way, New

178
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 1: T shirts on the website Dan Patrick dot com tight

179
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: end t shirts. Yeah, yes, yeah, celebrating the tight ends

180
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: of the world. Yeah. No, number eighty five, number eighty five.

181
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: Jason Lackanfora is a NFL insider for CBS. He thinks

182
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow is going to make the roster. He truly does.

183
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, no, the fifty three man roster. He says

184
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: he can't imagine that urban Meyer would do this and

185
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: then cut Tim Tebow. And that is a fair assessment

186
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: of the situation. I just wonder if you're as painful

187
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: as it might be if you said, hey, you know,

188
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: can you cut your son from the baseball team? Yeah,

189
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: I could have, because I would do what's best for

190
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: the team, and that's my son. Urban Meyer looks at

191
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow as a son, I'm guessing, and can you

192
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: cut him? You're in the NFL, Yes, you should be

193
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: able to cut him. Other coaches have. I wonder if

194
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: urban Meyer can so. Now he's put himself in that

195
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: position of I'm bringing him in and everything that goes

196
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: along with it, and all I said this yesterday, I

197
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: was accused by a listener like I'm critical of Tim Tebow. No,

198
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm I'm curious that's all. I'm not critical. I'm curious.

199
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: Mel Kiper came out and said that Tebow's being selfish,

200
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: like I don't want to tell you how to dream.

201
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: If you if you want to do it, you think

202
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: you can do it. You're still searching in life. You're

203
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: in your early thirties. You got this opportunity. It's okay.

204
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: The bigger angle is Urban Meyer's your first year head coach.

205
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: You've been out of the game, you're a college coach.

206
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: There's been health issues. You got Trevor Lawrence. You know

207
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: you got to hit the ground running, and you're gonna

208
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: bring in Tim Tebow. I'm only curious. Now do I

209
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: think he can play the position? I don't, but I've

210
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: been wrong before many times. But somebody who hasn't played

211
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: the position. It's not because I doubt Tim Tebow. It's

212
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: somebody hasn't played that position is coming in to try

213
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: to play that position. I don't know how good a

214
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: shape he's in football shape. You can be in shape.

215
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: I mean the rock is ripped. It's not like the Vikings.

216
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: Are you gonna go, hey, come on in, yes, Hunt,

217
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: And if it's proven that he's not good enough, that

218
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: he's not good enough. And any job or any business

219
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: you're worried shouldn't be when you're applying for a job. Oh,

220
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: I might get the job. I'm gonna take the spot

221
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: from someone else that may want that job. I know

222
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,599
Speaker 1: he has a little bit of an inn with his

223
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: former coach at Florida. But you can't be worrying about

224
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: if I get higher than someone else is not getting higher.

225
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: That's silly. Yeah, I was curious why he picked number

226
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: eighty five. Now, I don't know if he picked eighty five,

227
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: but eighty five signifies the numerous opportunities that are coming

228
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: into your life. There are opportunities on the horizon that

229
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: are meant for you. Seeing number eighty five is a

230
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: reminder that you need to grasp all the possibilities and

231
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: make the best out of them. This is the time

232
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: or you accept and make changes in your life. That's

233
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: what the number eighty five means. Fascinating or irrelevant. Yes, boy,

234
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: I was looking at that too, and I looked up

235
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: the number fifteen and the meaning of number of fifteen.

236
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: It's horrible mechanics and terrible down I looked it up. Man. See,

237
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: you're being critical, not curious. You laughed. I laughed. It

238
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: was really a painful mechanics. It was a pained laugh

239
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: because you're going to face the wrath of the big guy. Yeah,

240
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: well tbo Yes, oh boy, Yeah. I mean he sent

241
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: me a baseball bat. Tim Tebow is a friend of

242
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: the show. He hit a home run. I said, the

243
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: next home run you hit, would you send me your bat?

244
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: Tebow sent me that bat. Hey, that's for Paulie, not

245
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: for me. Yeah, but Tim sent me that bat. Yes.

246
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: And numerology isn't that specific. I don't know where PAULI

247
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 1: found that. It's like you usually like a horoscope or something.

248
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 1: They kind of give you some generic things that you

249
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: read into with your own life. It's a little mean.

250
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: Do you believe in numerology? I do. I'd like to

251
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: believe if you play with the numbers enough, you can

252
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: have it mean what you want it to me. And

253
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: I'll say that much okay. Especially if someone has passed

254
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: away that you know or that you care about or

255
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: love and you try to figure out something with their

256
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: birth date or something happened in your life, that's somehow,

257
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: some way they're giving you a sign through numbers. I'd

258
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: like to believe that gives me comfort for whatever it's working. Okay,

259
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: I've tried that many times. I tried to speak to

260
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: my dad and say, if you can hear me, make

261
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: the light flicker, or let me look, let the start raining,

262
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: or silly things like that, and it doesn't happen. So

263
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: I have to dig it to numbers and try to

264
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: make those add up to somebody. Seriously, though, you try

265
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: to talk to your dad, Oh yeah, I talked to

266
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: him all the time, like anyone when you're praying or

267
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: you're just you know, if you're going through something and

268
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: you know you're trying to get some kind of your direction,

269
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm not expecting to hear his voice or response. I'm

270
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: not having lost my mind yet. You know, sometimes Tad,

271
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: you have to open up your mind though to hear

272
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: the sounds like you can't if you you might say, like, hey, Dad,

273
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: if you could hear me, turn the lights on and off.

274
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: But Dad might not be able to do that. But

275
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: then you know, say a minute later you got up

276
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: to walk, that might be the sign that would work. Hey,

277
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: I couldn't do the light on and off, but I

278
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: made just sneakers super squeaky. So every time you take

279
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: a step. It's like I'm walking with you. I will

280
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: never listen to the squeak of my shoes differently than

281
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: just now from that time. That gives me some Your

282
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: dead former police officer did the rounds walking walking a beat. Yeah,

283
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: you used to walk at the old Yankee Stadium. They

284
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: worked in Manhattan. Bronx did all kinds of stuff. You

285
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: should hold onto those sneakers, those you'd still wear them.

286
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: Oh you got new ones? Yeah, well I have. I

287
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: have like some orthopedic issues today, so I don't know

288
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: how much play shoes are gonna squeaked. I got like

289
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: some kind of methodics. Yeah, I'm like an old man.

290
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: Now get him like injections and my toes and that's

291
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: a mess. Said, I don't know how we got here.

292
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: It was great, but it is a meat Friday. We

293
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: have the traggers all fired up here. Oh by the way,

294
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: I in the first hour, I played a clip from

295
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: Nate McMillan and the Hawks head coach, and I said,

296
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: do you want to hear what twenty five thousand dollars costs?

297
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: Or sounds like he got fined twenty five thousand dollars.

298
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: He had some comments about you know, the NBA wants

299
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: the Knicks to be in the playoffs. I think this

300
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: is the answer that cost him twenty five thousand dollars.

301
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: We have talked about the I think the advantages of

302
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: this situation, and you know, some things that we're going

303
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: to have to face going into the game with kind

304
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: of the everyone went picking New York to win, and

305
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: and a lot of folks wanting to see New York

306
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. You know, so it's a battle, it's

307
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: a challenge. I think the NBA is excited about them

308
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: being back in the playoffs. Did that cost him twenty

309
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: five or did the previous answer cost him twenty five?

310
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: This one? The league wants this, they need this. It's

311
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: a big market for the league, and New York has

312
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: been out of the playoffs for a number of years,

313
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: and you know, this is a team that our league,

314
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 1: you know, they want to see. You know, there's a

315
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: huge fan base. They want to see New York in

316
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs. You know, they want to see the Lakers

317
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. You know, teams like that, Boston Celtics.

318
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: They want to see these teams in the playoffs. And

319
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: I and I and I put New York in that

320
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: category that the league wants to see it. Everybody wants

321
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: to see this, you know, even to the fact that

322
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: you know our game was moved to Sunday. Okay, I

323
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: think what he's saying is the truth that the league

324
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: does want the Knicks in the playoffs, but not like

325
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: he's saying, we have no chance against the Knicks because

326
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: they want the Knicks to succeed against Ton Does sound

327
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: a little bit I'm not saying twenty five thousand. Maybe

328
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: he's laying some grownwork so that when any calls going

329
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: gets the Hawks in this series. That's that's what I said. Remember,

330
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: they want the Knicks to advance. We'll talk to John

331
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: Smoltz about the situation with the Chicago White Sox. Rookie

332
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 1: disobeys the Hall of Fame manager and hits a home

333
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: run and then the manager doesn't stick up for the rookie,

334
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: and well is it a big deal? Still a big deal?

335
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,239
Speaker 1: And also we'll talk to John Smolts about all these

336
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: no hitters good for baseball. John Joins is coming up next.

363
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: League Baseball Network analyst, before I talk baseball with you, John,

364
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: here's the question. I'll give you two PGA championships or

365
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: one Masters? Wow? Masters? Three PGA championships, one Masters, three

366
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: PGA championships. Yeah. A World Series ring or the Masters? Well,

367
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: I got a World Series ring, So I'm gonna say Masters.

368
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: What could be another? Like? You didn't really do much

369
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: in the World Series to win where, right, you were

370
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: just on the team. You were on a great team. Yeah. Yeah,

371
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: So let's say I get the winning I get at

372
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: Pitch Game seven, win another ring? Yes? Taking it? Yeah? Yeah?

373
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: World Series MVP or the Masters World Series MVP. That's

374
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: just another ring. All right. That's all I wanted to

375
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: talk to you about, John, Thanks for joining us. That

376
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: was so easy. Clayton Kershaw came out and said, all

377
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: these no hitters not good for baseball? What does he

378
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: mean by that? Do you think? I'm not quite sure.

379
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: I think I would follow him in the sense that,

380
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: you know, when you see the statistics on everyone keeps

381
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: talking about the statistics, right, batting average, strikeouts, all those things.

382
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 1: You start you start understanding that, you know, hitting has

383
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: been hard with the velocity that we have in our

384
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: game today. So maybe that's part of what he meant. I,

385
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: on the other hand, predicted that the no hitter record

386
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: on MLB Network first week of the season. I've predicted

387
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: there would be a record amount no hitters. So hey,

388
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: I'm all about being right. So two more, two more, PAULI,

389
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: can you check the tape see if small sit. We

390
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: looked for it all morning. We couldn't find it. Yeah,

391
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: Oh it's on there. Oh it's on there. It was

392
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: a bold prediction. It was one of these segments that

393
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: make a bold prediction, and I made a bold prediction

394
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 1: that there would be more than eight no hitters this year. Okay, well,

395
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: what's the cause for this all these no hitters other

396
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: than everybody's throwing a hundred and everybody else who's at

397
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,959
Speaker 1: the plates trying to hit a home run? Yeah, well,

398
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: the latter part is what you really have to focus on,

399
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: because I think most of the no hitters, you know,

400
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: are not guys that have thrown a hundred, and they're

401
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: they're guys that have hit their spots and kind of

402
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: open up the opportunity. If you hit your spots, you're

403
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: going to get your strikeouts and outs. And the style

404
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: of hitting today because the velocity is the way it is.

405
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: It's really a philosophy of style of hitting. And when

406
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: you're trying to hit a home run, which is the

407
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: fastest way to get a point on the board, then

408
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: you don't have any deviation from that. I think that's

409
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: why you're seeing some of the numbers historically change. And

410
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 1: I think we've all said that eventually it'll come around.

411
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: It's just taken a long time for the pendulum to

412
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: swing back. You're going to have the lowest aggregate batting

413
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: average in history this year. Baseball talked about the initiative

414
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: this year of maybe reducing you know, the I guess

415
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: how far baseball can be hit. They were trying to

416
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: bring it back one or two feet. They were trying

417
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: to get the ball and play a little bit more

418
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: stolen bases, those kind of things. It hasn't worked. How

419
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: does baseball, if that's what their goal is, get more involvement,

420
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: more movement in the game. I think part of it,

421
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: you know, after we get through this year and then

422
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: you know, next year gets worked out one where between

423
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: the agreement, I think you're going to see some changes

424
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: that take place the game. They're starting some things in

425
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: the minor league and whatever. People talk about changes. Immediately

426
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: everyone says, as well, there's something vehemently wrong with the game. Well,

427
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: to your point, you're stating the fact. And when you

428
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: state the facts that overwhelmingly are historically not in your favor,

429
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: then you look to make some changes to try to

430
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: enhance or change the way people think. See, the only

431
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: way you can change the way people think is to

432
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: come up with some rule changes. Every other sport has

433
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: done it. For some reason, Baseball people get all bent

434
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: out of shape when we talk about changes. I'll give

435
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: you a subtle change that not a lot of people

436
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: talk about. I've heard some people talk about, but I

437
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: think would help the game in both ways. If you

438
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: lower the strike zone, you give the hitters a better chance.

439
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: At the velocity that we're seeing today to hit a

440
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: ball that is at the top of the strike zone,

441
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 1: you can't hit it today, and all pitchers are adjusting

442
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: and hitters are still trying to do. What we talked about,

443
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: the top of the zone is at the velocity we

444
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 1: have is this is too difficult, So a subtle change

445
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: without making everybody have to change the way they play

446
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: the game. I'm a big, big component of lowering the

447
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: strike zone and giving everybody a better chance to hit

448
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: that kind of velocity that's in the game today. He's

449
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: John Smold. Sim'll be network analyst Padres tonight against the

450
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: Mariners at ten Eastern. Then John will call the Cubs

451
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: Cardinals tomorrow on Fox. Let's recap what happened with the

452
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: White Sox with Tony LaRussa Urmane Mercedes, a rookie who

453
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: Tony says, I yelled take take, take on a three

454
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: zero pitch in a blowout game. He swung three zero

455
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: hit a home run. Let's go step by step. So

456
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: three zo pitch positional player in a blowout game? What

457
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: is the policy? Yeah, see, that's a great question because

458
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: we haven't seen as many position players pitch in the

459
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: history of the game as we're seeing right now. So

460
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: if there's a regular round amount, I think every player

461
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: understands the score, time and place. But that is just

462
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: something It's not that you can't do it, it's just

463
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: frowned upon, you know, if you're taking advantage of a team.

464
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: It's like scoring from you know, from first when you're

465
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: up fifteen to four, when you can go station to station.

466
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: And I think there's certain things in the game everyone understands.

467
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: When a position players on the mound, I think it

468
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: kind of alters how I can see the other side

469
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: of it. Right three oh, kind of frowned upon position player. Well,

470
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: that team's basically given up, and so it's kind of

471
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: difficult when you see the position player out there to

472
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 1: think that all the rules apply. So this is one

473
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: of those scenarios where I could actually see both sides

474
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 1: of it. I understand Tonio Russa being a manager as

475
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: long as he has he doesn't want to show anybody

476
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: up in that fashion, and that's probably where he's coming

477
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: from there. Yeah, but okay, so then can I swing

478
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: at three one? Can I swing at three two? Yeah? No,

479
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 1: I get where you're going. I think, don't put yourself

480
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: in that situation. If you're the other team, I totally

481
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: get it. And if you're if you're basically waving the

482
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 1: right way flag by throwing a position player that, I

483
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,719
Speaker 1: don't think you can get mad that guys were swinging

484
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: at pitches when the pitches that are coming in aren't

485
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 1: really pitches anyways, just somebody lobbing it in there. So

486
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: I totally get that part of it. You know, we

487
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: used to have that rule where you had to have

488
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: designated They did away with that this year, and I

489
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: think it's coming back, by the way, where you had

490
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: to designate only a particular person that could pitch, you

491
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: had to have so many innings, because that, to me,

492
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: is a whole other subject. When you start throwing position

493
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: players in a game, you start advocating for the ten

494
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: run rule that people I know have been floating out there.

495
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 1: Why not just get a ten run rule after seven

496
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: innings and we don't have to have a position player

497
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: out there pitching. Do you think that Baseball would push

498
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: for a mercy rule after seven innings? I think if

499
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: the trends keep going the way they are, I think

500
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: it has more momentum than it doesn't because the reality

501
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: of the game that we're playing, and we're supposed to

502
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: be in the pitching rich era. You know, there's injuries,

503
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: so a lot of pitchers up in the big leagues

504
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: probably faster than they should and so therefore clubs aren't.

505
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: They're not going to push their pitchers and they're going

506
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: to throw a position player. I think it'd be better

507
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: if we just the game. I mean, the game's changed

508
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,479
Speaker 1: to a seven inning double head or nobody frowns over

509
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: that anymore. What no one would frown over a ten

510
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: run rule after seven innings and each clubs go about

511
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: their way, and then the headlines don't read about a

512
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: position player pitching instead of the team getting beat well handled,

513
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: And Tony Laruss says, hey, you know what, you've got

514
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: to respect the game. I don't think the oppositions respecting

515
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: the game by bringing in a positional player to throw

516
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: a forty seven. If I can throw a fastball faster

517
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: than the position player right now, that to me is

518
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: disrespecting the game. I agree with you on that. I

519
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: played for a manager who's old school. Bobby Cox never

520
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: let a position player ever pitched the entire time I

521
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: was there. I don't know if there's another manager that

522
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: can say that, but he never let That was his

523
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: biggest thing about it. I'm not going to disrespect the

524
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: game and make it look foolish. Now, there are a

525
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: lot of position players that begged the pitch, but he

526
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: just didn't he just didn't believe in it. So I

527
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: agree with you that that statement, because I think there

528
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: is unless you've run out, you've pitched eighty play seventeen

529
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: or eighteen innings, if we won't do anymore because of

530
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: the rule, then I think, you know, you're just you're

531
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: throwing everything up, and you're just throwing everything up in

532
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: the air. So I agree with your statement. Yeah, and

533
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: I don't, and I don't like. I think everybody was

534
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: wrong in this situation with you know, Mercedes and LaRussa. Okay,

535
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: he didn't hear the take sign or didn't listen to

536
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: your take sign. Denny Homers. Tony then calls him out

537
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: in the press conference. Instead of supporting his player to

538
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: say we'll handle it inside, he's basically saying, hey, Minnesota Twins,

539
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: go ahead, throw at him. Those are the consequences that

540
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: he brought on himself here. Yeah, you're you know, this

541
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: was a lot of mixed messages, but I think the

542
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: general theme that I was reading into it was we

543
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: can't have that happen again, right, what right? Wrong? Or

544
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: indifferent and hopefully that that message was clear to the team.

545
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: The White Sox are a great team, and the Minnesota

546
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: Twins are having a really tough year. They were they

547
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: were predicted to be right there with the Chicago White Sox.

548
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: You can understand their frustration when they're getting it handed

549
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: to him. But again, when you when you throw a

550
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: position player in there, it does throw a wrench in

551
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: the whole deal. And again, some people think it's kind

552
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: of fun to watch a position player pitch. I personally

553
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: don't think it's fun as much as the amount of

554
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: position players that are pitching today is pretty alarming. How

555
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: surprised were you that Pooholes goes to the Dodgers and

556
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: hit a home run last night? I'm not home run.

557
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm so because of where pooh Hols is in his career.

558
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: I have the utmost respect for him because of his

559
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: passion to play the game. And yet he's not the

560
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: Pooholes we remember Saint Louis and even though the Angels.

561
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: But I think his motor still thinks he can help

562
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: a team win a championship. And what better way for him.

563
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: He went to a team that has the probably the

564
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: best odds to win a championship, and I think he's

565
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: going to prove some people wrong. You know this game

566
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: is not forever, and we all know that. Everybody, including myself,

567
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: have been released. It's not fun, but you want to

568
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: finish on your own terms, and I think that's what

569
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: he's doing. Didn't Poohles get you? He got me a lot.

570
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: It was only eight at bats. He got me three times,

571
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: three home runs and eight at bats. And I don't

572
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: mind telling you it was the scariest right hand to

573
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: hit or every face. I thought Gary Sheffield was number

574
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: one in my book, but Albert Pooholes the way he

575
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: squatted to sit, he looked like he was sitting in

576
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: a rock. And SHARE knew what was coming. And I'll

577
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: never forget the game. I came out of the bullpen

578
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: in relief, and I was so mad because of the

579
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: circumstances that led me getting in. I threw a pitch

580
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: the first time in my career as hard as I could.

581
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: It almost went to big, big mac Land, and I try,

582
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,959
Speaker 1: I try to destroy the There were these the curtain

583
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: that separated the training room and the clubhouse in the

584
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,479
Speaker 1: old stadium, and they looked like you could rip them

585
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: off the hinge, so I attacked it with both of

586
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: my hands to rip it off. It was still reinforced,

587
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: and I thought I broke both my thumbs, and I

588
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: hid in the back of the plane, icing both of

589
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: my thumbs, not letting anybody see what had happened. So, yeah,

590
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: he got mea peak peak pooholes peak bonds. Wow, Yeah,

591
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: that to me. I always I'm gonna say pooholes because

592
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: I've show the right handed pitcher, I should always be

593
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: able to have the edge against the right handed hitter.

594
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: Left handers definitely had an edge against me. So I'm

595
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: still gonna say Pools only because I felt like I

596
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: should have done better Bonds. I faced for a hundred

597
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: times Pools. I don't want to even think about what

598
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,959
Speaker 1: that three, what that would have translated. I gave up

599
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: nine home runs the bonds. I'm sure I would have

600
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: given up more to Pools. Great to talk to you, John,

601
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us as always, Buddy. That's John Smoltz.

602
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: We share a birthday together May fifteen. He's got Cubs

603
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: Cardinals tomorrow on Fox. I love Smoltz always tells these

604
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: stories and here's a Hall of Famer, and he always

605
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: tells you a story that's a negative story about him.

606
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: I always appreciate that A couple of phone calls. Will

607

Speaker 1: to call and just say how much I appreciate all

657
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 1: astros and the Dodgers organ player is playing this song

658
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: when the Astros Josh Reddick came to the play Reddick

659
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: per former astro is hearing it from Dodger fans. He

660
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: takes a strike going one. We can help him, man,

661
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 1: We have a trash can up here. It's gonna be

662
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: a fastball. Here's the old one and it was down

663
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: and in if you're trying to tell him, all right,

664
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: so you got the trash can going there. Josh of course,

665
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: the former astro who's playing for the Diamondbacks. And then

666
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: the Dodgers organ player played this when he came to

667
00:36:49,080 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 1: the plate saw the sign or heard the sign? Jeter,

668
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 1: you go any garbage can songs? I saw the sign

669
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: Asa Bass there it's a courtesy of sportsnet LA subtle message.

670
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 1: They're sent to a former rastro. Yes, Paul. Now, did

671
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 1: the organ player know that song and it's his or

672
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: her repertoire or to learn it for the situation? Yes? John?

673
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: And is that something that would need any type of

674
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: approval or I would think the organiza would be all

675
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: in on that. It's kind of harmless fun and they

676
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 1: deserve it. If you have to get that okay by management, Yeah,

677
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: people have lost their job, so like playing an an

678
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: inappropriate song and things like that. So I wonder if

679
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:42,720
Speaker 1: that's something that would need it approval. Can you imagine

680
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: going to management? Uh? Yeah, oh hey, how are you doing? Um? Yeah,

681
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,919
Speaker 1: I'd like to play I saw the sign by Asa

682
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 1: Bass when johsh Redder comes and playing, Sure, what was

683
00:37:55,360 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: that song? Sign? Sound? Men? Do this? Don't do that?

684
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 1: Can't you read the song? Freaking people need not apply? Yes? Time.

685
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: Was there also a song why don't We Steal Away?

686
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: That would be another one stealing science. I know that's

687
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: a younger generation might not know that song. But still

688
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: that would be a valid song to play. You're not

689
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: feeling that one. I just felt like it was forced

690
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: a little bit. Why don't we steal Away? That was

691
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: a popular song back in the day. No, it wasn't.

692
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: I thought that was a pretty that wasn't like a

693
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: hit song, steal Away? Nobody cares. No, I'm gonna guess

694
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: it's probably in the eighties right time. It's definitely on

695
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: my iPod for sure. Yeah, it's not in the nineties,

696
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: not in two thousand. Who sang that song? That's a

697
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: great question. Oh no, no, it's gotta be. You gotta

698
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: know it. It's a really popular song, the song I

699
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: gotta hear Robbie dupre Yeah, yeah, yeah, time remember that.

700
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: Remember the Robbie Dupree era. Remember that Come On and

701
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: Hold Me just too? I remember Billy Joe dupri Yeah,

702
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: Marcus Dupris. Yeah, isn't there a m I thought there was?

703
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: And they're a movie now, do you know what we're

704
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: We're way off of course, that's my fault. Yeah, we're

705
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: way off base. Paul and Iowa joints us on the program.

706
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 1: Good morning, Paul, what's on your mind today? Hey guys,

707
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: Well you know, I've been listening to you the past

708
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: two days with the Robert Or talk, and it's it's

709
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: really interesting, But I've heard it before on your show

710
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: with a different sport, almost exactly the same topic. So

711
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,800
Speaker 1: I like how you say with baseball, the Hall of

712
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: Fame is can you tell the story of the game

713
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: without that player? And I think we need to do

714
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 1: that a little more with basketball and with football, can

715
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: you tell the story of the game without Robert Or?

716
00:39:55,960 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: And in football without Julian Edelman? Which of those two

717
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: guys did less during the regular season and is more

718
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: deserving of their Hall of Fame because of big moments.

719
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Ori and plus you know he had

720
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: seven championships. Edelman had two incredible Super Bowls. He was

721
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: the MVP in one of those Super Bowls. He was

722
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: a starter all the time, not a Pro Bowl player.

723
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: Ori was a really talented all around player. He just

724
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: wasn't I mean, he was a guy who came off

725
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 1: the bench, but he was there when you needed him.

726
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 1: I think it's a little tougher with football to get

727
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: in than it is with basketball. I think they're far

728
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: more lenient with who gets into the basketball Hall of Fame. Yeah,

729
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: mclubban since its Friday? Can I rip the caller just

730
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: a little bit? Paul and Iowa, It's just that we

731
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: immediately we did Orie Edelman. We did it earlier in

732
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: the week. I don't know if we even And he

733
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: kind of sounded like he invented the question. He was

734
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: very enthusiastic and I loved it. It's a great question. Yeah. Yeah,

735
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: We've been doing this for years with Julian Edelman. Yeah,

736
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: I mean we are. If you don't think if there's

737
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: a player of Hall of Fame debate, we bring up

738
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: Edelman immediately. It's a reflex. By the way, did you

739
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 1: see where Julian Edelman says, I'm not joining Tom Brady.

740
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: I'm good. Oh, we have a bet on that, don't we?

741
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: Paul does? PAULI said, what's the bet that he will

742
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 1: try to play for the Tampa bit Buccaneers this year? Yeah.

743
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: The more he talks, the more he's playing. Oh you

744
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: think so? Yeah, I don't think so. I don't think

745
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: healthwise he can play. He couldn't play healthwise three years ago,

746
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 1: and he found a way on the field. Yeah. I

747
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: think it caught up to him. When you're thirty four

748
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: and you can't play healthwise, it's different. Yeah, Paul, at

749
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 1: that time, we had him in studio. A few years

750
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: ago he had that knee injury and he was out

751
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: for this regular season. Yeah, he came in studio. It

752
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 1: was probably October and he was dragging his leg. He

753
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 1: was walking gingerly, and you said him, if the team

754
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: makes a Super Bowl, you're playing again. Oh, yeah, I'm

755
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: not missing the super Bowl. He looked at you like

756
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: you're insane. Yeah, I'm missing the super Bowl. But then

757
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: we wonder to what extent he was going to go

758
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: to and we found that out of trying to play

759
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl when he got busted. By the way,

760
