Speaker 1: situation of teams to keep an eye on that may

15
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,320

24
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: We say congratulations to the Atlanta Braves. Underachieved in the

25
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: postseason for decades. They had a pitching staff with three

26
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: Hall of Famers, and they won only one World Series

27
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: back in nineteen ninety five. But this year, this year's

28
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: Braves team took the opposite path because nobody expected them

29
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: to reach the playoffs, let alone win it all. But

30
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: they did it at the trade deadline, and they picked

31
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: up players that helped them in the second half of

32
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: the season. You know, Adam Duval, Jack Peterson, Eddie Rosario

33
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: helped reshape this team. Jorge Solaire, he went deep, Dansby Swanson,

34
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman. Also Homer Solaire, who won the World Series

35
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: MVP a midseason acquisition as well. They didn't start to

36
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: feel like an underdog. It felt like they were America's team,

37
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: because if you didn't have a rooting interest, you were

38
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: probably rooting for the Braves to make sure that the

39
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: Astros didn't win at all. But this is a Braves team.

40
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: That beat a really good Brewers team, the defending champion Dodgers,

41
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: and a championship caliber Astros team. They may not have

42
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: been the team we expected to win at all, but

43
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: the Braves deserve all the credit an incredible postseason run.

44
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: And I started to wonder about this with the Houston Astros.

45
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: You know, Carlos Corea, their shortstop, probably won't be with

46
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: the team next year. I think the Tigers have an interest.

47
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: Tiger's going to be spending money. I don't know who's

48
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: going to be left for us to vilify or look

49
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: at public Enemy number one, l twove Bregman, but they

50
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: lost badly. I don't know if we sort of move

51
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: on from the Astros. And I'm not suggesting this. If

52
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: the Dodgers had beaten the Astros and beaten him like this,

53
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: then we probably move on a little bit like, Okay,

54
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 1: the Astros, you got a World Series and some nice

55
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: parting gifts for losing in the World Series. I don't

56
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: know if people move on from that, and maybe it

57
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: stays with jose L. Tuve, which isn't fair, but he

58
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: is sort of the poster child and probably a future

59
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. But I watched last night, and that's

60
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: what I thought of as the Braves were celebrating. What

61
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: do we do with the Astros? I'm still not sure.

62
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: I don't know how history is going to look at

63
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: the Astros. It feels like there's damaged goods. Yeah, Seed,

64
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: Is it not fair that it sticks with al Tuve?

65
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: Is it not fair? Yeah? Is it? Are you asking

66
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: should it stick with him? Yeah? Yeah, I'm saying it.

67
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: You said it, This is gonna stick with Altuve, which

68
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: might not be fair. Yeah? Well, is it not fair

69
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: just Altuve? The other players went to other teams. I

70
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: don't know if they, you know, wear the scarlet letter,

71
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: but I guess it starts with your best player, the

72
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: face of the team. Yah. See. Is it sticking with

73
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: him just because he's still on the team. Yeah, but

74
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: he said so even if he went to another team,

75
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: I think that we would go. I wonder if he's

76
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: sharing secrets on how to cheat like they did in

77
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. I mean, I'm thinking as a fan here,

78
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: but I think it'll stay with him just because he's

79
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,679
Speaker 1: so great. Anytime he does anything in the postseason. Regular season,

80
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: we don't care. Postseason, you know, he's hit more home

81
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: runs than just about any player in baseball history. Yeah,

82
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: it hurts out two of me because he was the

83
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: most successful. But also the crossing home plate, don't rip

84
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: off my jersey excuse and a scuttle butt accusations around

85
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: that that was like a yeah, there's no proof there.

86
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: They did something more wrong, but that sure didn't help

87
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: his case. Yeah, that's one of those I didn't quite

88
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: understand it, where hey, I had a tattoo that wasn't

89
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: finished and I didn't want America to see it. Yeah, McLevin.

90
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: It's also that he's so short that a look like

91
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: he should have that kind of power. Is that fair

92
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: at all? I mean, he really is tidy, he's short. Yeah, Oh,

93
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: I mean he's compact and strong as all get out,

94
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: but he's an odd player like you wouldn't expect. There's

95
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: never been a guy like that, And I don't know

96
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: if that should be the topic today. I'm just telling

97
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: you what I thought when I'm watching the Braves celebrate

98
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: what do we do with the Astros? It's like, what

99
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: did we do with Barry Bonds? There's certain times when

100
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: you go, what do you do with this story? You

101
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: try to move on? Can you move on and with

102
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: the Astros, I don't know, it's like you got a

103
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: new manager and Dusty Baker still had just a couple

104
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: of players left over from twenty seventeen. But Correa probably

105
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: is going to move on. And Josie l Tube was

106
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: wonderful in the postseason. I mean he is, He's a

107
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,239
Speaker 1: great player. Bregman did not play well, but give credit

108
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: to the Braves. They did. You know, usually at the

109
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: trade deadline, nothing happens. Like the NFL, nothing happens. But

110
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: when you go, okay at the trade deadline, we're going

111
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: to reset our entire outfield and we're gonna bring in

112
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: the World Series MVP. These are all players that were

113
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: available to probably everybody, but they were able to do this.

114
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: And keep in mind they lost one of my favorite pitchers,

115
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: Charlie Morton that was Game one, fractured his leg. But

116
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: that's a team that produced when they needed two big hits,

117
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: big home runs and kind of pedestrian eighty eight wins

118
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: during the regular season. I think the Minnesota Twins back

119
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: in the eighties, that's last time we had a team

120
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: win it All with that few of regular season wins

121
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: with they had eighty eight. Yeah, point. If I'm the

122
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: Braves GM president of operations whatever their personnel, Guys, I'm

123
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: going in for the Rays today because he's getting more

124
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: credit than a GM has gotten since since THEO in sixteen.

125
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: But that's what you want. You have want somebody who's

126
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: gonna make moves, smart moves. And at the time, you

127
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: know these are these didn't make the bottom line where

128
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: you go, oh, they just picked up Eddie Rosario. Nobody

129
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: cares Jock Peterson. They were like, oh, okay, sounds nice

130
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: because everybody was thinking, Okay, the Dodgers are still the

131
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: team to beat, and we sort of forgot about everybody

132
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: else in the National League. Brewers had a good year,

133
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: but you know, the Dodgers getting knocked off, Brewers getting

134
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: knocked off, and you know, the Braves did the damage here,

135
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: and see, you can't go, boy, they didn't they didn't

136
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: earn this or they did every bit of it. And

137
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: having been in that city for a few years watching

138
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: the lean years with the Braves before they became formidable.

139
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: Interesting time there in Atlanta, because that's been a cursed

140
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: city when you think about winning championships, all the opportunities

141
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: that they've had, and you had one of the great

142
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: pitching staffs of all time with Maddox and Glavin and Smoltz,

143
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: and you won one World Series. You know, Hall of

144
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: Fame players. What happened with Thekins obviously? You know, basketball

145
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: never really had those moments to be able to play

146
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: for championships because they couldn't get by the Boston Celtics.

147
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: But it was good, good fun baseball to watch. And

148
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: baseball is it's a it's a great local sport, but

149
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: it's played on a national stage when you get to

150
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: the World Series. And if you don't have a rooting

151
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: interest in this or there's that player, you're gonna the

152
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: tune in factor, then you're probably not watching. But instead

153
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: of and I'm the get off my lawn guy, Hey,

154
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: I remember when you know, I gotta realize it's not

155
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: coming back. The nineteen seventies not coming back. This is baseball.

156
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: Either you like it or you don't. And I'm not

157
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: here to tell you, Oh, come on, you're you're missing out. Okay,

158
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: if you don't like it, you're not gonna watch. You

159
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: can speed up the game, that doesn't matter. It doesn't

160
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: mean you're gonna, you know, fall in love with baseball

161
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: late games. I got it. I mean, we talk about

162
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: these these moments. I just love the game. I just

163
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: don't like it being It'll never be America's pastime again.

164
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: It's just not going to happen. And watching last night,

165
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: it's not a topic of conversation with people even on

166
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: this show, Like there's really no pulse rate, heartbeat with it.

167
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: And it's a shame because there's part of me that says,

168
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: you know, you should be covering this more, but this

169
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: is local. These are local stories. The only reason why

170
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: the World Series was more national was because of the Astros.

171
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: That's it. But in Houston, in Atlanta, this has covered

172
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: daily and deeply, but not on a national stage. So

173
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: I issue my apologies already of not diving in all

174
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: the way with the World Series. Let's see MC, what

175
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: kind of pull questions is this? Actually? Is a pull question?

176
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: Better question? Last night, Joe Buck took some flack because

177
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: he talked about Freddie Freeman's and Penning free agency extensively.

178
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: Then the headline afterward Freeman kind of hints he wants

179
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: to stay in Atlanta. Do you let a guy like that?

180
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: Do you pay up for him even though he's older?

181
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: If you're Atlanta out of like loyalty or do you

182
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: get in a bidding war with the Yankees. Oh, I

183
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 1: don't know. It's like he deserves to be there, right

184
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: if he wants thirty five million dollars a year, do

185
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: you have to You don't have to, But I think

186
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: you have to sell this to your fan base of

187
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: we want to be smart to win more championships. We

188
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: don't want to keep opening up a scrapbook and say,

189
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: remember when Freddie Freeman was good, Like he's a wonderful

190
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: story and a great representation for any baseball team. But

191
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: I think when you get to this point, when you

192
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 1: fall in love with history or what was what used

193
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: to be, that's dangerous. Yeah point, you know, to be

194
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: fair to Joe Buck. When the game was six zero

195
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 1: in the sixth inning, the game slowed down dramatically. I

196
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: watched every pitch last night, and the games slowed down.

197
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: There was not a rally for Joe Buck to sink

198
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: his teeth into his Smoltz, to sink his teeth ado.

199
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: So they were talking about other topics. That's a real

200
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: topic for the Braves. That wasn't bucks fault. That game

201
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 1: slowed down, Well, it doesn't matter what Joe says, he's polarizing,

202
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: people are going to pile on. They just are. I

203
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: thought John Smoltz had a really interesting take because when

204
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: you pitch and Max Freed was already up three nothing,

205
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: you have to pitch like it's zero zero. You can't

206
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: pitch where hey just throw strikes. Hey, don't get too cute.

207
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: And Smoltz is saying, Hey, go out there and pitch.

208
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: Don't be thinking we're up three nothing, we're up five nothing.

209
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: You got to think about in the moment, that battern,

210
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: because if you don't, then you get two on and

211
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 1: then somebody hits a bomb and now all of a

212
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: sudden you're in trouble. But that pitching staff, and I

213
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: told you that. I had somebody who's covering the World

214
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: Series who said, hey, you know, this is what we

215
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: think happened with Max Freed. He was tipping his pitches

216
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: and it hadn't come out yet, and I said it

217
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: on the show, and then I think they eventually went

218
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: back and looked at he would wiggle his glove and

219
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: they knew that it was a breaking ball. I mean,

220
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: that's just good baseball, observational baseball by the Astros. You know,

221
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: nobody's cheating there. And they noticed that he would his

222
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: glove would wiggle a little bit for a breaking ball,

223
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: and they, you know, they tattooed him. Well, I guess

224
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: he fixed that because last night that pitching staff was great.

225
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: He threw six scoreless innings. The bullpen was wonderful. And

226
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is true or not, but

227
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: the Braves pitchers through the first game in World Series

228
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: history with no runs allowed, no walks allowed, and at

229
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: least ten strikeouts. Stat of the day, sat of the day.

230
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: That last stat of the day, stat of the day

231
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: he comes that what stat of the day? This ball.

232
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: We collaborated with Sportigue to at least a real great,

233
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: high quality limited addition item. It's a bundle with a

234

238
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: Patrick dot com. What's the poll question we're going to

239
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: go with there? I want to start with the question

240
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: you start with. Is hating on the Astros done for now?

241
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: Just to see what the audience says. Does that wording

242
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: makes sense? I don't know exactly how you word it,

243
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: but is this storyline? Are people ready to move on?

244
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: I think there are certain fan bases where it's okay

245
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: to still hate them, Like the Dodgers fans. It's okay

246
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: to still hate the Astros, and you'll probably never stop

247
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: hating the Astros. I don't know if there's another fanbase

248
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: the Yankees tried to shoehorn their way into the sympathetic

249
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: figure the last couple of years, but now I'd say

250
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: probably the Dodger fans yam club. And then another poll

251
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: for later to make people mad. You have a college

252
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: football ranking poll, they will say for a little bit later.

253
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,160

257
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,680

258

284
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior was going to be traded, but I

285
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: wonder if the Cleveland Browns are reconsidering that with a

286
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: little bit of drama there where Obj's dad now involved

287
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: in this? Uh, Obj Senior is involved in this. Let's

288
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: let's start there with Peter King from a Football Morning

289
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: in America NBC Sports dot com. Why why didn't you

290
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: think he was traded? Pete? Who's got the money for

291
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham? I mean, Dan, The biggest problem at the

292
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: trading deadline this year is that there were a record

293
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: number of teams within five million dollars of the salary

294
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: cap or less. The Rams really wanted von Miller, but

295
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: they told the Broncos, listen, we have no money, and

296
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: we've already redone all the contracts that we can. The

297
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: only way this gets done is if you take the

298
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: vast majority of his money. The Rams paid an extra

299
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: third round pick for von Miller because the Broncos were

300
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: willing to pay nine million of the ninety seven that

301
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: was left. So with Odell, I mean trying to figure

302
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: the number now. I wrote it in my column a

303
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: week ago that if anybody wants them, basically they got

304
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: to commit whatever twenty one million bucks to him over

305
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: the next three years and including this year. And it's

306
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: just I mean, does anybody really want to do that

307
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: for a guy who a gets hurt a lot? Be

308
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, okay, and no one really knows, but

309
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,239
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, he's not the receiver he was with

310
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 1: the Giants. Is he not getting targeted enough? That's what

311
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: he would say. I mean, but Dan his yards for

312
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: catch his way down from Giants' days. It's just he's

313
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: he's kind of a mystery player right now. Plus he's

314
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: he's either about to turn twenty nine or twenty nine,

315
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: so you know, I don't know teams without money and

316
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: not knowing what guy you're getting when you trade for

317
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham. I think that's the reason why. Yeah, But

318
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: it's just strange that he got there and it felt

319
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: like his mind was still in New York, Like he

320
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: the Giants sent you to the Browns. They wanted to

321
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: punish you, and he kept yet like I'm gonna prove

322
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: you guys wrong. I mean, they're a contender. He could

323
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: be a media darling like you want out of a

324
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: situation that you would want in a situation where you

325
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: got a chance to win a super Bowl in Cleveland,

326
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 1: you could be the star of this team. I'm just

327
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: curious when I watch there are times when I can

328
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: go a long period of time I don't hear his

329
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: name called. Yeah. I think part of that is that

330
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: so he missed I think nine games last year. He's

331
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: missed a couple of games this year with injury. So Dan,

332
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: that's that's the big question. You know, who is he?

333
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 1: And that The other part of this I think is

334
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: I mean when you think about Odell Beckham junior, okay,

335
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: you think of a real explosive receiver, and you know

336
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: he just hasn't. I mean, he had a couple of

337
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: plays last year against Dallas. I think one was even

338
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: a running play, if I'm not mistaken, a reverse and

339
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: you know he looked like the old explosive O'Dell. But

340
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: to me, I mean, he's such a squeaky wheel and

341
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: at some point you have to determine, and I'm sure

342
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: the Browns have buyer's remorse, but at some point you

343
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: have to determine if that's worth it. And I'm sure

344
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: a lot of teams are on the league. I mean, look,

345
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,719
Speaker 1: we might sit here, Dan and say, oh, you know

346
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: his dad doing that. That's just a father protecting his

347
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: son or whatever, being a fan, whatever it is. I mean,

348
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: stuff like that gets into a locker room. Do you

349
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: want a trade for that? I mean he's been he's

350
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: been as disruptive as he's been effective. And you know

351
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 1: the other thing is, you know, if you look at

352
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: his career in with the Giants, he was like he

353
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: was a touchdown machine, you know. I mean, this guy

354
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: has scored seven touchdowns in two and a half years

355
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 1: with the Browns. I mean, he hasn't scored a touchdown

356
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: since mid season last year. So what are you getting, Dan?

357
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: That's the question. What's the trade that should have happened

358
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: but didn't. The trade that should have happened that didn't.

359
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: I think the Broncos, if I were them, I would

360
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: have traded Kyle Fuller for whatever I can get. You've

361
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: got enough depth in the secondary right now. You're down

362
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: on Kyle Fuller. And I know there wasn't as robust

363
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: a market for him as people thought, but I mean

364
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: he's still just look at all the teams, all the

365
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: top tier teams in the NFL that could use a

366
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: corner right now. I thought that was one that should

367
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: have happened and didn't give me the strategy behind the

368
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: Texans not trading Deshaun Watson. I mean, you got to

369
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: have two teams that want to make a trade. If

370
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins really wanted Deshaun Watson, they would have

371
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: traded for him. Now. I do not know what happened

372
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: in this alleged conversation between Stephen Ross and Deshaun Watson

373
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: on Monday night. I'm not positive it happened, but let's

374
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: just say it did. You know, basically, if you're Stephen Ross,

375
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: you've got to get a commitment from either Deshaun Watson's

376
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: people or his handlers, his age, and his lawyers whatever,

377
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: to say we're going to make this thing go away.

378
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: We are going to make a settlement on this right now,

379
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: and for whatever reason, whether that was asked for and

380
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: didn't happen. If I were the owner, that's what I

381
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: would have said, We'll trade for you if this goes away,

382
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: and we'll deal with the firestorm. But Deshaun Watson and

383
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: his attorney last spring chose to not settle. Whether they

384
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,479
Speaker 1: could have or not, I don't know, but he has

385
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: steadfastly proclaimed his innocence. That's America. But you can't ask

386
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: an acquiring team to acquire a superstar player and you

387
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: don't know whether he's going to be available not only

388
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 1: this year, but on opening Day next year. If this

389
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: goes the way we think it is, Dan and this

390
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: doesn't get resolved until sometime in twenty twenty two, DeShawn

391
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: Watson's probably not playing Opening Day next year. So who

392
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: would trade for that? Yeah? And what are you trading?

393
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: And when are you going to get him? We've asked

394
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: the Texans twice. Whose decision is this, that Deshaun Watson

395
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: is not playing? Is it the Texans? Is it Deshawn's

396
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: is at the NFL? And we've gotten no response. What

397
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: if DeShawn goes in and goes, hey, I'd like to play. Now,

398
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 1: it's a coach's decision, and David Culley would say, I'm sorry,

399
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:37,959
Speaker 1: we're playing Tyrod Taylor and Davis Milson and you know,

400
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: so then you have to decide do you want to

401
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: be the ultimate squeaky wheel and start screaming to play?

402
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: I doubt I doubt he would do that. My gut

403
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,239
Speaker 1: feeling is this is just going to continue as it

404
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: has been the whole year. Is it tanking? Is it

405
00:22:55,480 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: what tanking? Is it tanking? I don't think it's taking

406
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 1: in the truest sense of the word. Let me ask

407
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: you a question, Dan, if you owned a football team

408
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: and there was some significant evidence that your star had

409
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 1: had sexual impropriety with any number of women up to

410
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: the number twenty two, and you have to ask yourself,

411
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: do I want this person wearing my uniform? That's a

412
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: question that for anybody who says, oh, my god, he

413
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: ought to be playing, ask yourself the question if you

414
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: would want Deshaun Watson being the quarterback of your team

415
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: right now when he has not been found guilty of

416
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: anything yet. But you know, is are the accusations so

417
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: whatever words so reprehensible that you that you would want

418
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: him that you could you could overlook them and have

419
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: him play for your team. I wouldn't want to. Why

420
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: not suspend him? You don't need to, but you're paying him.

421
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: I think that's where people are who are paying him.

422
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: But if you suspend him, the NFL or the NFLPA

423
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: is just going to challenge it, and the NFLPA is

424
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: going to say this man, it's America's innocent, will proven guilty.

425
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: Nothing has been found guilty. The NFLPA would win it.

426
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: You know, there's I don't see any alternative if you're

427
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: not going to play him, if you don't want to

428
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: play him. It's just like the Keishan Johnson thing with

429
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 1: Gruten the last six games of the year. They just

430
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: told him, hey, stay home, and they paid him for

431
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: not coming because Gruden hated Keishan so much and thought

432
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: he was disruptive. And you know, if you suspend him

433
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: and don't pay him, you're going to have the NFLPA

434
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: all over in. The NFLPA would win. Talking to Peter King,

435
00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: Football Morning in America columnist NBC Sports dot Com, you

436
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: mentioned John Gruden. With John Gruden out with what happened

437
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: with Henry Ruggs, they're a competitive team. How do you

438
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: sort of handicap what the Raiders are going to be

439
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: able to do the second half of the season here, Well,

440
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: here's the thing about the Raiders, all right. I mean

441
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: to me, the reason why this hurts them right now

442
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: especially is because they had figured out the sweet spot

443
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: with Henry Ruggs, And what I mean by that is

444
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: they had figured out that we're not going to play

445
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: him every snap because physically he's just not up to it.

446
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: And so they had gotten great production out of him.

447
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 1: I mean, he was the modern day Cliff Branch and

448
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 1: he was going to have a great career. And now

449
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: that he's gone, now you ask yourself, so what are

450
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: they going to do? I think for the short term,

451
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: Zay Jones is probably the guy who will play in

452
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: his spots Sunday against the Giants. But I would expect

453
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 1: if Deshaun Watson clears waivers by I think it is

454
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: Thursday at four pm, might be Wednesday at four pm

455
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: because he wasn't traded in time. I think it's he's

456
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: got a clear waivers by Thursday at four pm, And

457
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: if he does, I would expect the Raiders to be

458
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: very interested. But the Raiders are hamstrung like so many

459
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: teams right now. They're two point six million under the cap.

460
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 1: So if they were to sign DeShawn Jackson, they would

461
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: have to get him for bargain basement and so, and

462
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 1: you don't know right now, I don't know how much

463
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: Mike Mayock thinks of Deshaun Jackson. But it's a very

464
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 1: very logical substitute, especially for a team that's better than

465
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: we all thought they'd be at mid season. What did

466
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: you make of the Rams strategy in trading for von Miller?

467
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 1: It fits everything that they do. They figure that we'd

468
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: rather have a proven veteran than an unproven rookie, even

469
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: if it's like for two picks. You know, you look

470
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: at what happened with Jalen Ramsey and I forget what

471
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: number picks they were that they traded, but who wouldn't

472
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: take the best corner in football for two low ones

473
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: or whatever the deal was. And I think it's the

474
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: same thing with von Miller. They will trade essentially, let's

475
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: make it up Dan the sixtieth and ninety fifth picks

476
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: somewhere around there. For von Miller, they will play him sparingly.

477
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: I think they're not going to play him every snap

478
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: now because they this is a trade for January and February. Dan,

479
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: it's not a trade for November, and so they want

480
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: him to be fresh when they're trying to beat Tom

481
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 1: Brady in the divisinal game in January. Have you toucheda

482
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: based with John Gruden? No, no, I'm not spoken to him.

483
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: What if the Jets have found their quarterback and that

484
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 1: quarterback is not Zack Wilson. I think this is a

485
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 1: very interesting game on Thursday night because if Mike White

486
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: plays great and if somehow some way they win, I

487
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: don't think there's any way solos putting Zach Wilson back

488
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: in the game a week from Sunday when he's healthy.

489
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: Just I mean, that's my guess. How could you if

490
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: the guy plays two great games in a row and

491
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: your franchise future guy had been struggling the way Zach

492
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: Wilson was. But that's something that I think it's easy

493
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: to say what if, But we just don't know because

494
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: the games haven't been played. I wouldn't expect that Mike

495
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: White would play great again on the road allowed environment

496
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: Colts playing for their season, but you know, you never know.

497
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: I do think that Robert sala is a lot more

498
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: interested in winning than he would be interested in putting

499
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: sav on the hurt feelings of Zach Wilson. However, I

500
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: know you're a big baseball fan. I mentioned when the

501
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: Braves were celebrating last night, one of the things I

502
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: thought about is do we move on now from the

503
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: Astros of twenty seventeen, You've only got a couple of

504
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: players left. Al twove is you know there, and you're

505
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: gonna they'll lose the short Stole, They'll lose Korea now,

506
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: so there will only be two big guys left. And

507
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: you know, it was funny Dan, you know, the Fenway

508
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: crowd was killing the Astros during the playoffs, and this

509
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: thought occurred to me. The best players on the Astros

510
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: in that playoff series were all guys who were either

511
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: not even in their organization. They might have been in

512
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: college or high school. What in twenty seventeen, where was

513
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: Jordan Alvarez? You know where was from ber Valdez. I mean,

514
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: you know these guys and they walk in and they said,

515
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: it reminds me of George what George Young used to

516
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,479
Speaker 1: say when there'd be some controversy involving the Giants that

517
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: he had nothing to do with, and he would say,

518
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: what did I do? I'm just sitting around her picking

519
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: my nose and there's a crisis, and it's just those

520
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: guys have to be thinking, man, you're picking on the

521
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: wrong guys. Yeah, I just don't know. I think Dodger

522
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: fans are going to keep that and never let go.

523
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: But I don't know if other fan bases really care.

524
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: Since the Astros lost to the Braves, I you know what,

525
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: Yankee crowd will be the exact same way. Yeah, you know,

526
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: the Astros are kind of fortunate that they don't play

527
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. How often do they play him? Once every

528
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: three years? I don't even know how the interleague schedules work,

529
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: but obviously they go to the Bronx once a year

530
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: and that crowd will never let him. Forget it. But

531
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: and that'll happen a long after. You know, Jose Altuve

532
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: will be in a retirement home and the Yankees will

533
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: still be killing the Astros every time that an Astro

534
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: walks into Yankee Stadium. One other thing I forgot, football wise,

535
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: I thought maybe the Saints would reach out to the

536
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: Broncos since they're having a fire sale and bring back

537
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater. Now there's a report maybe that Philip Rivers

538
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: would be interested in playing for the Saints. What do

539
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: you think Sean Payton does the rest of the season

540
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: at that position. I talked to him at length on

541
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: Sunday night, Dan. I didn't get the impression that he

542
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: thought the answer at quarterback was outside the room. I'm

543
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: not saying that it can happen. But the other part

544
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: of it is the Saints don't have two Nickels. The

545
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: Saints are one of two teams in the NFL right

546
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: now who are under a million dollars for the salary cap.

547
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: Do you think Philip Rivers is going to play for dimes?

548
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he played for twenty five million bucks last year,

549
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: and I doubt sincerely that they would move heaven and

550
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: earth for a guy who might be their quarterback after

551
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: he practices for a while, for what seven weeks and

552
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: maybe the playoffs. I'm telling you, Sean Payton thinks that

553
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: he can manage a game with Trevor Simeon, and he

554
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: thinks he can use Taysom Hill. He might have Taysom

555
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: Hill start. I don't know, but I think he's okay

556
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: with those guys. Now, if he gets one of them hurt,

557
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: then he has to go to Ian Book, and then

558
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: he might be in a little bit of trouble, even

559
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: though he does love Ian Book. But having said all that,

560
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: my gut feeling is that they're not going to look

561
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: outside for quarterback. Great to talk to you again, Pete.

562
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: Thank you have a great week. Hey Dan, thank you.

563
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: That's Peter King, Football Morning in America columnist, NBC Sports

564
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: dot Com. Yeah. I would go with Trevor Simeon, and

565
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: I would keep Taysom Hill in the offense and use

566
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: him in a variety of ways because you really lack

567
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: any other great offensive player weapon other than Alvin Kamara.

568
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: And if you can have Simeon in there and sort

569
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: of manage a game where Sean Payton is basically quarterbacking

570
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,959
Speaker 1: the team through Trevor Simeon, then I would do that.

571
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: But I at least would have kicked the tires on

572
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: bringing Teddy Bridgewater in. But his Pete says, you know,

573
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: maybe they didn't have the money. That's where I would

574
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: have said to the Broncos, Hey, we'll take Teddy Bridgewater.

575
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: Do you want to pay his salary like you did

576
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: Von Miller. Well, take a break. We have our play

00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,919
Speaker 1: celebrate the braves, but it's the Nisan's birthday, so work

611
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,439
Speaker 1: in school taking a back seat today. But you asked

612
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: an inswer some question earlier, and you asked, will this

613
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: ever go away for the Houston Astros? And my answer

614
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: to you is no. But it's not because we're going

615
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: to hang on to it and be better the rest

616
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: of our lives. Now we've got high rent to be

617
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: better for the rest of our lives out here in LA.

618
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: It is because the Astros refused to come out and

619
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 1: say it. They refused to come out and face the music.

620
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: The reason why some of these these steroid guys have

621
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: been you know, somewhat quote unquote forgiven a rod all

622
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: these the guys, because they come out I'm not yet.

623
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: I took them. I did it and that's why they're

624
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: not going to be vilified the way that other people,

625
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: Clement Bonds and all them have. The sooner these astro

626
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: players come out and quit bs and saying, oh, we

627
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: never did that, you know, stop trying to, you know,

628
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: make us be the enemy. If we didn't do anything wrong,

629
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: then you know, then stop doing anything. We didn't do

630
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: anything wrong. We never got punished, No, you did. The

631
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 1: sooner they come out and say it, the quicker Los

632
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: Angeles and New York will be like, all right, we

633
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: won't bring the trash stands. You're still you know, you know,

634
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: a sunbag for cheating, but we won't bring up the

635
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: trash cans every single time that we play you. And

636
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: that's the way that it's going to boil down to

637
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: and quickly, missus Patrick, I know you probably took up

638
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: hearing it went again. Congratulations on the Hall of Fame.

639
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: You've deserved it for so long. I know I see

640
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,839
Speaker 1: for many people when I say, you have personally helped

641
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: me out get through some of the worst days of

642
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: my life just by being on the radio airways every morning.

643
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: And thank you once again. I look forward to one

644
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: day being a hunter to bike you and the boys

645
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 1: around when you're out here in February. I know Frenchie

646
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,439
Speaker 1: doesn't drink. We'll get him a Shirley temple. But thank

647
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: you very much, Hollikame didn't even begin to describe your career.

648
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: You boys. Have a great day, Thank you, Gus, and

649
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 1: have fun with your daughter at Disneyland. Yes, Seaton, hearing

650
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: rumblings that gussows me a shower of shame based on

651
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: the Lakers not winning the championship. Oh oh well, look

652
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 1: I remembered. Look whoa okay, Gus, um so you o,

653
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: Seaton a shower shame? What's your what's your choice of

654
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: of shower? Oh well, I thought it was? What was

655
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: it is? I'm gonna throw shamon myself first, and then

656
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: honey or is it a honey person? No, No, it's

657
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: it's it's it's honey. Then sand, it's honey. Then saying yes,

658
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: thank you Seaton for reminding me you are most welcome. Yes,

659
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: and still have a great day, Gus, Thank you very much.

660
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 1: All right, Yes, pay a lot of beaches around there.

661
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: You don't have to throw sand. Just put some honey

662
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 1: in your body, do a roll on the beach, go

663
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: back home. Yeah, I know, I think when it first started,

664
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was US or Gus saying yes.

665
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: So I just put sand on me and then I

666
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: put honey. We're like, no, the sand will all come off.

667
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 1: You put the honey on, and then you put this

668
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: sand on. Al in Atlanta, Al finally has something to celebrate.

669
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: Al congratulations, good morning, mister Hall of Fame, And yes,

670
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: jovial is finally that How was last night, Slash? It

671
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: was great until about four or thirty when the hangover

672
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: thirty kicking in and I could not go back to

673
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: drinking more bourbon. All right, well, congratulations, Yeah, Now the

674
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: sacks of Freddy. You gotta pay Freddy. I mean, he's

675
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: duck with the team through the fire sale that Liberty

676
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 1: Media put us through, through all of those bad years.

677
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: He was always there with a smile on his face.

678
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: You gotta pay Freddie like we paid Chipper. You gotta

679
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 1: pay Freddy. And as for the Astros, it's never going away,

680
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: especially since they got shut out twice in this world series,

681
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: proving they needed to cheat to win. Well, they got

682
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: shut out at home last night, so if they were

683
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: going to cheat, they would have cheated last night. But

684
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: Al congratulations, thanks for the phone call. You know, with

685
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: the Astros, if they do come out, and if Altuvee

686
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: comes out and says, hey, all right, we did it,

687
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: does that matter to anybody? Like after a while it's

688
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,800
Speaker 1: too late, then you don't care about it. The problem

689
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,959
Speaker 1: is you never got punished. I think that was really

690
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: what it came down to. Well, once again, that's just

691
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: my thought. After the Braves won, do we move on

692
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: from the Astros? And I don't know if we do,

693
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: but you know, it's up to individuals or fan bases.

694
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 1: To me, I have you know, there's a lot of

695
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: guys who've cheated in a lot of different sports, and

696
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: we pick and choose who we want to vilify, you know,

697
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: Bonds and Clemons. To me, they don't deserve to be

698
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. And you can't even use

699
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,320
Speaker 1: the logic of well, they were Hall of famers before

700
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: they cheated. No, it's the entirety of your career. You

701
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: can't go, hey, he didn't cheat up until that point,

702
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 1: because why did you cheat? And they both made tons

703
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: of money. They all realize that. I mean Bonds was

704
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 1: making not much with Pittsburgh San Francisco. He's making twenty

705
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: million dollars a year, and that was twenty years ago. Clemons,

706
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 1: the Red Socks kicked into the curb, goes to Toronto

707
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,359
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, it's like, whoa, what happened here?

708
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: Nothing to see here? Oh yeah there is. But as

709
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: far as the Astros go, they just didn't get punished,

710
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: that's all I think. If they had, and we probably

711
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: would have moved on. Yes, ton doesn't help. We're cushing

712
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: things at all that they lost in twenty nineteenth to

713
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 1: the Nationals and they just lost last night to the

714
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 1: Braves or is it more specifically and only about that

715
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: they have one ring and maybe they don't deserve any

716
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: rings at all. No, it's twenty seventeen, that's it. They

717
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: the Dodger fans, and rightfully so, feel like they stole

718
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 1: their World Series. I understand it. I'd have a hard

719
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: time moving on from it. But I don't have a

720
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: rooting interest in this. I didn't go. But Andy Pettitt

721
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: got away with cheating with the Yankees or run down

722
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: the list of players with the Yankees, like, it's just

723
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: that's baseball, Baseball polices itself, whatever, and you know you

724
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: have an asterisk by your name, whether it's real or

725
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: not a rod. You know, some of the great players

726
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: you can't sit. I mean, you drive yourself crazy if

727
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: you sat around thinking, oh my god, that guy got

728
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: away with something, that guy cheats or that's not a

729
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: real record. Yeah, Paul. Around the fourth ending last night,

730
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: I was kind of wishing the Astros had the signs

731
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: there rusted out the drama that they can that they

732
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: needed some run production down that game to be interesting. Yeah,

733
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: it is true that that is the first World Series

734
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: game where pitching staff didn't allow any walks, any runs

735
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: and struck out at least ten. You know that pitching

736
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: performance that bullpen was wonderful, really was, and he had

737
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: some great timely hitting. All right, next hour, we'll talk

738
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: a little bit more about what did and did not

739
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: happen at the trade deadline. The Cincinnati head coach Luke

740
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: Fickle will join us. We'll talk about the rankings that

741
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: came out last night and Cincinnati and the Ohio state

742
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: on the outside looking in. These things have a way

743
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:48,879
Speaker 1: of sort of playing out. But if I'm Cincinnati, I'm

744
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: a little nervous. We'll talk about that coming up one

745
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: hour in the books. Two more to go Seaton, Paul

746
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,399
Speaker 1: Fritzie mccleven yours truly one more items we close out
