I got more 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:53.920 questions because only the owner was taking questions. Alex Bregman 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:56.920 and jose L Tube join the media favor. They said, hey, 0:00:56.920 --> 0:01:00.840 we're gonna keep it brief. If you're a writer showing 0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:04.440 up after all of this controversy, they don't take any questions, 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:06.880 but they want to do you a favor. I blocked 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:09.600 up my Calci Tior day you keep talking. I got 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:11.520 columns to write, I got quote raft again. What do 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.280 you keep it a brief for? They make it seem 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:15.120 like they got a game later today. It's maybe the 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:16.800 only time in your life where you had to talk 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:22.040 a lot and you're uh, Jim Crane is the owner 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:24.760 of the Astros. He didn't keep it brief. He at 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.960 least had the guts to take some questions here and 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:32.039 here is the owner on a response that made me go, 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:36.319 Mr Crane, where do you have to say to the 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:40.920 Yankees and teams that you beat in seventeen listen to 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:44.040 and the Yankees have had a few comments out there, Um, 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:46.600 you know our opinion is, and um, you know that 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:50.600 this didn't impact the game. Um we had a good team. 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.720 Um we won the World Series and we'll leave it 0:01:53.720 --> 0:02:01.000 at die. So knowing what pitch is going to be 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:05.120 had no impact on the game. So, Jim, why did 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:09.720 your players risk everything and a manager got fired and 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:11.960 a GM got fired. If there's no real benefit, no 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:15.280 real impact on the game, don't I don't know if 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.840 Jim understands this. I don't know if he understands baseball. 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:20.880 I don't know if he understands the severity of this. 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:25.480 So I got inside information. Imagine if it's inside information 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:32.080 in your business and insider trading, does that help people? Yeah? 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:33.760 Those those people when they get caught, they go to 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:38.400 prison like it doesn't have an impact and are you 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:41.880 see wealthy when they go to prison? Here play that 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:45.600 one more time. Here's Jim Crane in the astroidszone. Mister Krane, 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:47.359 where do you have to say that the Yankees and 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:52.000 teams that you beat in seventeen? Listen, the Yankees have 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.760 had a few comments out there. Um, you know our 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:58.560 opinion is, you know that this didn't impact the game. 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:03.320 We had a good team, we won the World Series, 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:07.919 and we'll leave with the good I think Jim Crane 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:11.000 should have just read a statement as well. Give him 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.639 credit that he tried to answer some questions. He made 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:15.959 it worse. If you're going to say that this didn't 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.560 have an impact on the game, then why were they 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:24.000 doing it? Or maybe he doesn't know, but why did 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.640 you fire your manager in your GM If this didn't 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:31.720 have an impact on the game, And then you're not 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.400 going to punish the players because you can hide behind 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.360 the fact that the commissioner was not going to punish 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:43.119 the players, they're your players, Jim. Yeah. See how long 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:46.960 did they have to figure this out? The answers I've 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:49.520 had to respond to this. They've been kicking this can 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:52.720 down the road for months now and then get up 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.800 there and it's not like the dumbest thing possible. Sound 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.120 like you can go, oh my god, we didn't. We 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:01.880 didn't rehearse that question. Hey, isn't that one of the 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.800 first questions you think they're gonna ask? Hey, what would 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.800 you say to the Dodgers or Yankees did this? How 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:10.600 much of an impact did this have on you winning 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:16.240 the World Series? None? What? Yeah, mclov I mean this 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:18.720 is making the Astros look back with envy at the 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:31.000 days they played in Enron Field from damn scoreboard. Oh yeah. 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:34.320 Alex Bregman read a statement he said, we've learned from that. 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.360 I don't know what you've learned. Did you need to 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.720 go through this to learn that that cheating you know, 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:44.800 is it's on it's illegal. Yeah. I wonder if the 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:46.400 media knew they were just going to make these short, 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:48.400 brief statements or were they surprised by that. If so, 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:49.920 they should have all boycott. I know they have a 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:51.200 job to do and they feel like they have to 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.080 be there, but like, no one should have showed up 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.960 to this. Basically we got no answers. Jim Crane said 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:57.880 something ridiculous about it not effect they have and they 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:00.560 didn't take questions their players. They just say some vague 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.279 statement then that they learned their lessons. Yeah, but the 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:07.160 owner did talk. The owner at least took questions. They 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:08.719 could have done that on a conference call. I wish 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:10.480 no one would have showed up. They should have stood 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.680 there with a bunch of empty seats. No, because it 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:17.360 does matter and these these three, this doesn't end here. 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.840 For if the Astros think, oh hey, we already had 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.279 our press conference, that's not going to stop. You know, 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:24.840 people in New York when the Astros go to New York. 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:26.880 Can you imagine when the Astros go to New York 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:30.240 the first time? Do you have the schedule mclovin, it's 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:36.200 drum night, Free drum night. And of course it was 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:39.599 a based off a Yankee player with de Niro, Bang 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.920 the Drums Slowly was about the Yankees. Yes, but Dan, 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.359 I just heard Alex Bregman say they're on the twenty twenty. 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.080 He told me they're moving on to twenty twenty. I'm 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.599 gonna go with him. We're moving on, or he told 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.679 us four times on the twenty twenty I can't quite 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.280 move on to twenty twenty, at least the baseball season 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.080 the year I can. Yeah, see, that's not gonna drive 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.640 me nuts. Now, guys who already had dressed that at 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.240 the press we already addressed it. We're just gonna move on. 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.680 We already addressed that. Yeah, we alread addressed you know. Yea. 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.760 If you're baseball though, how do you feel today? If 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.479 you're the commissioner, how do you feel today people have 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.960 ridiculed you with the pace of play. If you're a 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:18.560 pitcher and you come in, you got to face at 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.080 least three batters. Now you're going to have a different 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:24.080 format for the postseason. Hey, the Astros are holding your 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.159 press conference today. It didn't go well. Hey, but you're 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.560 talking about baseball. Yeah. See, don't you feel like there's 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.719 a lot of people in baseball right now at a 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:35.400 lot of teams who are just sort of holding their 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.240 breath wait to see when they come out. Well, that's 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:41.599 why if I'm the Yankees and I've said this, you've 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.200 had a lot of cheaters on your roster in the 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.760 last twenty five years, all right, a few of them, 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:52.479 and you also had Carlos Beltron and Brian McKinnon on 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:57.200 your roster, and they of course part of the Astros 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:01.799 championship team. Just saying, and that's why i'd say slow, 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:05.599 slow your comments here, especially if you're CC Sabathia, where 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.480 you're gonna point fingers at anybody, not that he did 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:14.120 anything illegal, he might know somebody. We're not look back. 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:19.239 Jameis Winston hopes to be onto twenty twenty with his vision. 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:21.280 That's that's the only person who can say I'm onto 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.880 twenty twenty, because I don't want to be thirty thirty. Yes, 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.280 mclovin May, I might be missing one, but I have 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.720 them playing the Yankees in Houston May No, No, I 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:35.560 Neber twenty first. They go to the Mets in Italyague 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.000 in June June second. But I don't have him going 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:42.240 wrong by a way. What order Someone smart did that 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:45.840 scheduling to avoid that, I'm double technic to make sure. 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.200 Were they trying to make sure the Astros didn't play 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.160 the Yankees at all in New York? Were they trying 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:54.720 to sneak that by here's a tweet. So grown man 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.640 who are professionals do not know what's right and wrong. 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:01.320 They need guidance, and that's what the owner said. He 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.920 blamed it on the lack of guidance with the manager 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:09.640 and the GM. I would hate to see Jim Crane 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:11.320 get in front of the media if any of his 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:14.960 players were guilty of steroids, because he'd probably blame the 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:18.080 people who sold them the steroids or administered you know, 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:23.960 pharmaceutical coin. Hey, blame those people, not the players. I 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:26.840 blame the needles. The Needle Organization of America has something 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.760 to answer to. They're delivered the product. If we didn't 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:35.959 have needles, then they wouldn't have taken steroids. To blame somebody, Wow, Yes, 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.439 if they're an astro Yankee spring training game where a 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.079 little buzz the tower a little bit just to get 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.640 something hot going, send a little message about how they 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:44.800 sold the World Series? Do you just get it over 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.840 with where you go? You know, I bring in somebody 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:50.320 and they're gonna throw hard. You just say, look, hey, 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.240 l twobe, it's gonna hurt, but you know, sorry, gotta 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:59.240 I gotta drill you. Bregman, I gotta hit you The 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:02.719 only people really talking are the former Astros guys who 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:06.480 are on different rosters now. And you had a meeting 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.960 last night to prepare yourself for today. Was the owner 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:13.680 in the meeting? Because the players probably said, Hey, could 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:17.160 somebody draw up something that I can sound remorseful here? 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:23.760 What what will the media buy? Because if that was 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:25.840 the case, they didn't do a very good job. Hey, 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:29.520 I'm really sorry. You know we we we learned from this. Yes, 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:31.120 I got at a clip that you're gonna love you 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:34.920 more than it. About fifteen minutes ago, Jim Crane of 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:38.840 the Astros had this response, Okay, mister Krane, where do 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:40.920 you have to say that the Yankees and teams as 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:45.960 you beat in seventeen Yankees have had a few comments 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:49.640 out there? Um, you know our opinion is U you 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:52.760 know that this didn't impact the game. Um, we had 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:56.440 a good team. Um we won the World Series and 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.319 we'll leave it at that. Two minutes later, Jim Crane 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.719 was asked this, Jim, when talking about the Yankees there, 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.560 did you say you feel like this didn't impact the game? 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.920 And what do you mean by back? I didn't say 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:15.360 it didn't impact the game. Oh boy, No, I did 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:20.800 not say that you have the accent if we didn't impact. 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:29.480 You said impact. I said impact, impat v, it didn't 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:35.520 impact the game? Play him back to back again, Mr Krame, 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:37.320 What do you have to say that the Yankees and 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:41.920 teams that you beat in seventeen? Listen, the Yankees have 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:44.720 had a few comments out there. Um, you know our 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:48.080 opinion is and UM, you know that this didn't impact 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:52.199 the game. Um, we had a good team. Um, we 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:55.920 won the World Series and we're lable to God. Jim, 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.120 when talking about the Yankees there, did you say you 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:01.240 feel like this didn't impact the game. What do you 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:04.800 mean by that? I didn't say it didn't impact the game. 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.320 I'm surprised you didn't say, hey, we won the World 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:16.520 Series unfair and square. Okay, I didn't say that, Yes 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:18.520 you did. You said you won the World Series unfair 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:23.000 and square. Hey, Jim, Mike Smiths with sports else, what 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:27.920 the hell are you talking about? What are you talking about? Jim? 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:32.360 Do you know that these microphones are on? Oh god, 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:36.400 that's good scrubs soup. I'm glad that that. You know, 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:40.400 some of these reporters followed up with that because that 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.200 one where it didn't impact the game. I probably would that. 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:45.640 That's one of those where you know you see people 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.160 writing down things, like the members of the media. You know, 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:49.920 they'll be listening to you, and then all of a 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:54.640 sudden you'll say something to go, flash cubes go, flash 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.320 balls go off there. Yes, don it's like that SNL 0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:01.040 Martin short tacter. We liked Tom, you said, I, of 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:04.040 course I cheated chet. What would you say that? We 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.760 wouldn't do we want an unfair and square? But you 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.320 said unfair? No? I didn't you said that. No, you 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:14.760 said that. I didn't say that. Oh boy, I know that. 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.880 Why wouldn't you think I knew that? No, we want 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.120 fair and square. Though jose L Twove is at his 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:24.960 locker taking questions, MLB Network is showing that we'll keep 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:28.560 an eye on that, keep an eye on that many 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:32.240 trash can giveaway for the first five hundred fans. That's uh, 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:37.319 the astor the Yankees single a team that'll be Thursday, 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:43.320 September third. All right, kind of a long way away there, 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.480 but okay, I guess getting used to that. People are 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.360 going to have we come up with a T shirt? Yet, 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:52.079 do we do we want an unfair and square? Do 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:57.680 you want to do that T shirt here Astro's logo 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:01.800 A big square still felt really well in hues. Yes 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:05.160 they will. Yeah, well, I hope those fans have a 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.679 sense humor down here. Hey, you got a world series 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.560 out of it. Congratulate. One hundred nations around the world 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:15.640 have now declared the International Consentatives Finding a US that 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:17.720 we are causing it and that the impacts are going 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:23.440 to be catastrophic. Yeah, that's what are you saying. Did 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:26.360 you know that since nineteen eighty eight we've had the 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:29.800 nine hottest years on record. I know that. I know that. 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:33.440 I representing our companies, I would be very aware of that. 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:37.560 Did you know that your oil industry clients received sixty 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:41.000 five billion dollars a year in taxpayer funded subsidies from 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:45.520 our federal government. Of course I know that, but we 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:47.520 give a lot of that money back to Congressman into 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:52.760 the White House. The long even stoke in this cigarette. 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:56.600 It has got this crazy long hatching wedding. It may 0:13:56.640 --> 0:14:02.480 look at the cha What poll question do you have, mclovin, 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.120 I did if you were Eric the Enemy, which job 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:08.280 would do all Kansas City keeps Offensive Coordinator, which he 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:12.599 currently has, or the Colorado Buffalo's job sixty four percentage, 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:16.040 Stay with Casey. There's a report that the Cowboys are 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.079 gonna offer Dak Prescott a five year deal. Do you 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:23.080 see this, mclovin and out? Yeah? That that apparently they're 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:26.160 offering or have offered, or will offer him a five 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:31.520 year deal which guaranteed. Why don't know, right? I mean, 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:34.200 if I'm the Cowboys at this point, you know I 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:37.720 would guarantee it, you know. But can I get him 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.880 for a little less? Is what I would want? Although 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.360 if I'm Dak Prescott he probably goes. We already got 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.400 a great team here, Like, you don't need me to 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:47.960 take less to have a great team. We have all 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.480 the pieces here and a new head coach. Come again, Yeah, mclub, 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.200 I'm not saying this for content, but are you hearing 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:56.200 anything about Tom Brady and the Patriots or the charges 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:59.160 or anything? Or it's everything in limbo? Because what if 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.120 everybody just goes back to their teams and there's no 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:04.320 free agency period here to talk about somebody's leaving something 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:08.200 something dramatic will happen in the draft up top. In 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:12.400 my opinion, somebody's going in to get to a talk 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.480 to somebody last night and said, you're dead on the 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.680 person who told me about Baker Mayfield moving up and 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:20.760 the Browns we're going to take in number one overall 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.640 said to me last night, someone will go up and 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:29.080 get to a somebody is going to go get it. Yeah. 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.320 Do you think it's most likely that the Giants trade, 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:37.240 then well, the Lions may take him. I know there's 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.600 a report out and the Lions deny that of shopping 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:43.320 Matthew Stafford. If I'm the Lions, I would be shopping Matthew. 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:47.120 If you said I can trade Matthew Stafford, I don't 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:48.880 know what you get from Matthew Stafford. Let's say you 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:52.040 get a number one in a two. Maybe you get 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:54.640 more than that. I don't know his value now, and 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:57.960 I can get Tah now I have my five year 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:01.120 window where the salary is not killing me, and I 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:03.640 don't have to trade anything. I don't have to trade 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:07.400 up to get to him unless somebody goes into number two. 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.360 And that's where I think the drama is going to be. 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:17.800 That's where I think it's going to be. I just 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:23.320 had a good tweak. The Astro's logic is I can 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.560 no longer blame Fritzie for rambling on the show. It's 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:29.720 Dan's fault for allowing him to do it. Fritzie needed guidance. 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:33.640 It's not necessary. I think that's fair, and I'll take 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:35.840 the blame for you rambling on top. You've said cutting 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:38.480 him half and half again, and it's still When did 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:42.480 I tell you that fifteen years ago? Maybe fifteen years ago, 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:45.000 almost eighteen years and probably within the first couple of 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:46.840 years as shore. Yeah, but you haven't been on the 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:51.760 air that so it's been twelve years that you've been 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.280 on the air. I'm just not getting it. You got 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:56.280 to give him a learning curve. I know, twelve years. 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:58.520 I know. Hey, I take the blame here. I take 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:00.800 the blame for your fault. But I'd always say to 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:03.920 Todd cut it in half and then cut it in 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.840 half again. I'd make the sign of the cross, half 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:11.800 and then half half. Still I still concerned about that 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:17.960 because I know, I know, and I apologize to your rabbi. Yeah, um, yeah, 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:21.760 I think there's gonna be drama here. You have an 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:24.399 X teammate of Tom Brady's. You know, let me take 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:26.080 a break here. We'll come back with this. Who knows, 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:29.080 we may get more stupid answers from the astros, and 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:32.680 I want to talk about Miles Garrett being reinstated.

In fact, only two other 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:10.560 players have done so even once, Kobe Bryant and Larry Bird. 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:13.119 I you know, I remember at the start of the 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:15.800 season that it was Kawhi Leonard was going to be 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:18.200 the MVP. Kawhide's now the best player in the NBA, 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:20.960 And I said, you guys are crazy. You know, there's 0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:24.159 this anti Lebron bias. And I said, he's still to me, 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:28.400 best player in the game, and he's motivated. After last 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:32.480 season we got embarrassed last season. You get Anthony Davis 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:35.600 and it feels like they're you know, they're still the 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:37.280 team to beat here. Now. I don't know how they're 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:41.800 gonna match up with Milwaukee because Milwaukee keeps rolling along here. 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:46.919 But watching Lebron last night, you just we take him 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:51.679 for granted because this is an incredibly unique player in 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:55.600 the history of the sport when you combine and I 0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:58.800 know it's blasphemous to say magic and Michael, but that's 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:02.840 the combo platter you Yet with him, he's a spectacular player. 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:05.280 And when we look at players and we say, oh, 0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:08.119 you know, he's one of the great scores of all time. Okay, 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:11.960 if you say the top five highlights that Lebron will 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:16.280 have on his resume, one is a defensive play. A 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:19.440 block shot on Andrea ugudwas so one of the greatest 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:24.480 plays in the history of Lebron James's career was a 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:28.120 defensive play. How many great players can you say that about. 0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:31.840 He's got all the offensive plays, He's got all those highlights. 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:35.280 I mean, Michael Jordan. One of the top five plays 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:38.240 is he stripped Karl Malone of the ball and then 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:40.399 set up that game winning shot to win the title 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:44.800 in Utah. But the strip we forget about because he 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:47.399 needed to do that to then hit the game winning shot. 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:52.080 But how many great players, when you think about, do 0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:55.840 they have something other what's their signature highlight reel? And 0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:59.520 for Lebron James, I still need he's underrated. I do 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:03.040 now do I have problems with him? Sometimes lack of 0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:07.480 leadership makes you know, the social media he can have cryptic, yes, 0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:11.000 all of those things. If you look at the totality 0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:14.760 of his career, with who he is, his family, what 0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:19.760 he does charity, you know he's taken on some big 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:23.040 opportunities here. Certainly going to Los Angeles left him open 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:26.399 to criticism here, going back to Cleveland left him up. 0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:30.800 And when he left Cleveland still has handled this pretty well, 0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:37.000 single family household. He's done pretty well, made himself a billionaire, 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:40.800 pretty special. And to watch him play, I feel honored 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:45.080 I get to watch him play, continue to watch him play. Yeah, 0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:47.920 on the club. I love that question the signature play 0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:50.200 because I think of the block immediately. What is Jordan's 0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:55.480 one play switching hands? No, because that wasn't even necessary. 0:21:55.920 --> 0:21:57.560 I give you look at that play, You're like, you 0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:00.720 could have just shot a simple layout. Oh Brian Russell. Yeah, 0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:03.760 when he pushed off on Russell and made the shot, 0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:07.800 I'd say, you'd have to put a dunk in there. 0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:10.680 But I don't know if there's a signature dunk unless 0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:13.720 it's the jump man dunk that got him his logo there. 0:22:15.040 --> 0:22:18.080 But how many great players can you say they also 0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:20.800 have a signature defensive play. Now you might say, I 0:22:20.840 --> 0:22:24.359 don't even value that, But there was a while where 0:22:24.520 --> 0:22:26.840 Lebron got criticized because he wasn't playing defense whenever that 0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:29.440 last year. So he can't say, well, it doesn't matter 0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:33.040 because it didn't matter because people were criticizing Lebron James. Yes, pot. 0:22:33.359 --> 0:22:35.359 The one thing about Jordan's Bulls they never went to 0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:37.919 a game seven in the finals. They didn't have They 0:22:37.960 --> 0:22:40.040 only had the one against you know again of a game. 0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:41.800 They went to game six a couple of times. Yeah, 0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:43.240 game six, But I don't think they went to a 0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:46.800 game No, they did not Seattle. They went game six, Phoenix, 0:22:46.840 --> 0:22:49.120 they went game six, I believe. Yes, I got another 0:22:49.119 --> 0:22:52.520 defense about bird birds stole the ball or did habite 0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:55.800 sad the ball? But bird Birds Birds Steel is one 0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:59.280 of the top five because that's the Isaiah inbounds pass 0:22:59.359 --> 0:23:02.159 at the garden when Bird slipped in there stole it 0:23:02.320 --> 0:23:05.280
