Okay, 22 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: nobody else is. Nobody else is right now, but it 23 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: will be our joke that you and I have, and 24 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: and and Isaac lohin Crime can be in on it. 25 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: But when when Bucky comes in, I'm gonna get his 26 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: thoughts on what happened in the first round of men's 27 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: doubles today at Wimbledon. We're gonna try to completely catch 28 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: him off guard. Listen, it's the middle of summer. It's 29 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: time to have some fun. And if we can't poke 30 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: fun of ourselves and have some fun, then then what 31 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: good is it. So so when Bucky comes in, if 32 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: you if you hear me change my tone to talk 33 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: tennis and men's doubles, you will know why it is 34 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Sunday. There's a lot more to talk about 35 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: than Wimbledon. There's the situation that's going on at Northwestern 36 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: there is something happening, or maybe I should say something 37 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: that is not happening with Major League Baseball and the 38 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: All Star Game that to me is in absolute travesty. 39 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: It's something that Major League Baseball needs to change. It's 40 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: something that Major League Baseball needs to fix, and it 41 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: would have been great if they could have figured out 42 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: a way to do it this week. But there is 43 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: a big, big problem with Major League Baseball when it 44 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: comes to their All Star Game. And I think you 45 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: will see it, or in this case, not see it, 46 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: coming up on Tuesday, and that is the omission of 47 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball's hottest player right now. Maybe not in 48 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: terms of stat wise, but maybe it is considering what 49 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 1: he did yesterday in Milwaukee. How Ellie de la Cruz 50 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: is not going to be in Seattle for the All 51 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 1: Star festivities and competing on a stage where we can 52 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: see him is an absolute travesty. And that is something 53 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: that we're going to get today here on Fox Sports Radio. 54 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: You'd be surprised on who Michael Vick thinks could be 55 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: the greatest head coach in the NFL in history. That 56 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: in twenty minutes. But we start where so much of 57 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: our attention has been over the last three or four days, 58 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: and that is in Las Vegas. It started out with 59 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: Britney Spears and it ended with the debut by Victor 60 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs in a way that 61 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: I think some felt was underwhelming. I don't know if 62 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: people thought that Michael Jordan was gonna be out there, 63 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,839 Speaker 1: or it was going to be Lebron James, or what 64 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: they felt from Victor Wembanyama in his first Summer League game. 65 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: But people were expecting more than nine points. It seems 66 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: this is the big trouble in all of this, and 67 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: this three or four days is a microcosm of what 68 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: can happen and is happening to a star or as 69 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: soon be star we believe in the NBA, when expectations 70 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: just get completely blown out of proportion. Before Victor wemban 71 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: Yama even was drafted by the San Antonio Spurs, before 72 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: the Spurs had even won the lottery to select Victor Wembanyama, 73 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: we were trying to place Victor wembin Yama in his 74 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: place in history when he hadn't even played a game yet, 75 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: when he hadn't even been drafted yet by an NBA team. 76 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: And so Victor weban Yama goes to Las Vegas, and 77 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: remember he was supposed to play in Sacramento in the 78 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: Spurs Summer League game when there were in a lot 79 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: of stories, and the NBA was trying to churn out 80 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: Victor wembin Yama stories. One of the stories was Victor 81 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: Wembanyama will make his Spurs debut in Sacramento in that 82 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: summer League, not at the Vegas Summer League that is 83 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: more popular, and obviously broadcast by ESPN, that he would 84 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: play in Sacramento. Well, things changed and he didn't play 85 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: in Sacramento, didn't play with the team there, and in 86 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: fact it was in Las Vegas and when his team 87 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: was in Sacramento earlier this week, this is when the 88 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: Britney Spears fiasco, if you want to call it, went down. 89 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: So now we've got Victor Wembanyama, who we've placed unreal expectations, 90 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: and now you have him in a setting where I 91 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: don't blame him, I don't blame his security guard. Webbin 92 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: Yama was told what to do in that scenario. The 93 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: security guard would know a lot more than Victor Wembinyama 94 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: would and how to deal with crowds and how to 95 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: deal with people. And even though he heard Britney Spears yelling, 96 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 1: he wouldn't know if it was Britney Spears or or 97 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: any any other fan that wanted to get his autographed. 98 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: They were told to keep moving to not draw a crowd. 99 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: So Victor webbin Yama does that, no fault to himself, 100 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden he's in the spotlight again. 101 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,119 Speaker 1: You want to talk about a taste of what life 102 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: is like in the NBA, Victor Wembinyama got it in 103 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: D one in Las Vegas. We're not even to the 104 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: where he played a game yet, and now he's in 105 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: the headlines. And he saw the graphics, whether it be TMZ, 106 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: whether it be the National News, whether it be on Twitter. 107 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: You had a picture of Britney Spears and he had 108 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: a picture of Victor wembin Yama side by side. Completely 109 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: unfair to Victor wembin Yama, by the way, just as 110 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: unfair as all of those expectations that were put on 111 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: him prior to him ever becoming a San Antonio Spur. 112 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 1: This is week one of his NBA career. You can 113 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: mention that the NBA draft could have been day one. 114 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: That's fine, but I'm not taking the last two weeks 115 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 1: and putting together and saying that's Victor wemben Yama's NBA career. 116 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: His NBA career is starting this week when he's putting 117 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: on a Spurs jersey for the first time, even if 118 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: it's a summer league jersey, which I have said they 119 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: should market. Heck, you have crazy uniforms in the regular 120 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 1: season anyway. You might also try to sell a couple 121 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: of wemben Yama summer league jerseys and make a few 122 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: bucks off of it. But back to Victor webbin Yama's week, 123 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: because it's all about expectations and what is ahead for him, 124 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: and this stuff is ahead for him. Britney Spears wanted 125 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: a selfie. That is what Britney Spears wanted from Victor Wembinyama. 126 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: She didn't know who he was. She just wanted a picture. 127 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: She heard he was famous. She would put it on Instagram. 128 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: She would put it wherever and say, hey, look at 129 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: who I saw in Vegas. Blah blah blah. There was 130 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: no congratulation on your success. So Britney Spears is now 131 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: even using Victor Wembinyama for her own good. One of 132 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: the biggest pop stars that we've known in our lifetime 133 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: is now using a nineteen year old who again has 134 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: yet to play a game in the NBA. And then 135 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: the actual game comes on prime time. It's Friday night, 136 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: nine Eastern, six Pacific, going up against Brandon Miller and 137 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: the Charlotte Hornets, and Miller's having his own struggles, if 138 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: you will, turning the ball over early on. But again 139 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: it's summer league. I don't care about summer League. I 140 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: care about what happens in October and November and December, 141 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: and when the regular season gets it's underway. So you 142 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: play the Charlotte Hornets at a game where it's one 143 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: versus two, but really it's all about number one. There's 144 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: not a conversation about Brandon Miller and Victor weban Yama 145 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: does not shoot well from the floor at times, looks 146 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: to pass the ball more than shoot the ball. And 147 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: then at the end of the game what ends up happening. Heck, 148 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: it wasn't even the end of the game. It was 149 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: during the game. And it's not the it's not the media, 150 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: it's everybody. Everybody is throwing in their two cents about 151 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: what Victor Webanyama is. What he was. People were expecting 152 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: a lebron A situation where he goes out there and 153 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: has a triple double and just dominates from the get go. 154 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: And it's just not going to be like that. Like 155 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: there's a reason people thought that lottery was rigged for 156 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 1: the San Antonio Spurs, and that's because Victor Webanyama needs 157 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: to be in the right situation and the NBA doesn't 158 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: want this screwed up. This isn't Lebron James coming to 159 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: the NBA, Saint Vincent, Saint Mary's. There's a lot to 160 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: adjust to when you've been playing in a different country 161 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: and you come to a new country and different players, 162 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: there's a lot to get to and I think Victor 163 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: Wemanyama is just feeling things out. He's better than everybody 164 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: else on the court. I don't think there's any doubt 165 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: about that. But there's also takes this adjustment time and 166 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: what Victor Wembanyama has had to deal with over these 167 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 1: last seven days. You want to talk about a welcome 168 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: to the NBA moment, none of which, by the way, 169 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: his fault. You can talk about his player. I'd say 170 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 1: he was passive, Maybe the shot was off, didn't shoot 171 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: well from the floor, a couple of field goals may 172 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 1: have overpassed the time or two. Well, we're talking about 173 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: the first stupid Summer League game, and people are already 174 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: drawing conclusions about the type of career that the nineteen 175 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: year old's going to have. Not every star that enters 176 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: the league as the same path to the top. Look 177 00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: at Kola Jokic, Lookijanis and Tetakumpo, Lebron James, there's there. 178 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: There are so many different ways to start them in greatness, 179 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: and just for one game in one week, which is 180 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: probably one of the most difficult weeks that you could 181 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: have in terms of being an NBA star without real, 182 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: real tragedy and real trauma coming to your life. You 183 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: got to give Victor wemen Yama a bit of a break. 184 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: You didn't want any of this. And walking around NBA Con. 185 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: We had the Doug Gottlieb Show at Convito and Rich 186 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: there yesterday and they're going to be there today doing 187 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: podcasts for iHeartRadio and iHeartMedia, and Victor women Yama is 188 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: at NBA Con is just immediately swarmed, towering over everyone. 189 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 1: This is his life. And so when he gets swarmed 190 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: now and he's You're wondering, all right, what famous pop 191 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: stars behind me? When all eyes were on him, nobody 192 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: even cared about Brandon Miller, not one person cared about 193 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: Brandon Miller being on the court with Victor women Yama 194 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: on Friday night and it was one versus two. So 195 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: all eyes are on Victor Wimbanyama, and all I'm saying 196 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: is just let the kid breathe Just give him a break. 197 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: I am not making any any sort of judgments on 198 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: Victor wembin Yama's career or upcoming season based on what 199 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna see in Summer League. And we're gonna expect 200 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,559 Speaker 1: to see him again today, not against Scoot Henderson and 201 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: the Portland Trail Blazers. Scoot's not gonna play because of 202 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: that shoulder injury that he suffered on Friday in the 203 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: game against the Rockets. So there is no Scoot Henderson 204 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: against Victor wembin Yama Summer League game today. But we 205 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: make a big deal about Summer League a lot of times. 206 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: Remember when the Lakers won it and had T shirts 207 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: like I can't I can't remember how long ago it was, 208 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: but a Lonzo I think there was Alonzo ball season. 209 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: They ended up winning the Summer League and they were 210 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: championships and there were T shirts printed out for this. 211 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: The Summer League is what it is It hasn't changed. 212 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: It may be more high profile than it once is, 213 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: but it's still at the core of it is the same. 214 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: It's not real NBA basketball. All reserve my judgment for 215 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: Victor Woman Yama.

Slash match. 230 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 1: Something's happening in Major League Baseball at the end of 231 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: this year. Month's actually August first, where the Major League 232 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: Baseball trade deadline will occur, and boy, how things changed 233 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: for one Major League Baseball team in the matter of 234 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: just a week or so. We will get to that 235 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: in about ten twelve minutes or so, plus Isaac Glowing 236 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: kron is standing by to give us the latest of 237 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: what's going on on this Sunday morning, busy day at 238 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: Wimbledon and catching us up on all of that and 239 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: the final day of the a little more than the 240 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: first half of the Major League Baseball season, but for 241 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: all intents and purposes, final day of the first half 242 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: of Major League Baseball season. It's also something quirky with 243 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: the team that we're going to talk about in about 244 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: twelve minutes or so. But I want to get to 245 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: this story because it's been out there. Came out earlier 246 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: this week on the It Needed to Be Said podcast 247 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: hosted by Tyreek Hill. Former NFL quarterback Michael Vick was 248 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: on there talking about NFL head coaches. In just about 249 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes ago, we were talking about Victor wman Yama 250 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: and just the expectation and it's just unrealistic. It's just 251 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: not fair people are judging Victor wmbin Yama on a 252 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: Summer League game and judging on how his career is 253 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: going to turn out. I can't believe I've actually said 254 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 1: those words out loud just now, But it happened, happened 255 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: on Friday night, happened on Saturday. This is what Victor 256 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: women Yama needs to work on. This is what So 257 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: you've got that side of the spectrum. Now you go 258 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: to the absolute other side of the spectrum where you 259 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: take someone's entire career and you look at what they've 260 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: done throughout that entire career and then you pooh poo 261 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: it because you think someone has done something better because 262 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: it's hotter, or it happened. Happened. More recently, Michael Vick 263 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: on the You Needed to Be Said podcast with Tyreek 264 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: Hill said quote, I was actually thinking this year, like 265 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: after Andy Reid won the Super Bowl. He's only got two, 266 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: but he went to four or five NFC championship games 267 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: every year the Chiefs are in the championship game. You 268 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: don't have to win championships to be considered the greatest. 269 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: He might be the greatest coach of all time. Vic 270 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: said went on to say I understand Belichick and Brady 271 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: in the whole dynamic, but coach Reid did it in 272 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: Philly and then he's doing it in Kansas City. I 273 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: always shout out coach like I love that man to 274 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: death for real, I do anything for him end quote. 275 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: So there's a personal connection there. There's an absolute personal 276 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: connection there. I don't think that there is any way 277 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: that you can put Andy Reid almost in the same 278 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: conversation as Bill Belichick, even when you're taking the total 279 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: wins and you're connecting him to Tom Brady and saying, well, 280 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: Brady's the reason why they won all those Super Bowls, 281 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: not Super Bowl thirty six, I can tell you that much. 282 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: And Michael Vic mentions that Andy Reid did it in Philadelphia, 283 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: did it in Kansas City. You may not love Donovan McNabb. 284 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: You may not think Donovan McNabb was great, but Donovan 285 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: McNabb was pretty good quarterback. They're pretty good teams in 286 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: Philadelphia at that time. And mentioning the AFC championship games 287 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: and losing in those championship games like it's a positive 288 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: it seeming like everybody else that we talk about if 289 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: they were to lose in that game. It would be like, look, 290 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: came up short again. Can't get to the big one. 291 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: But here's a conversation, and it's not just six against two, 292 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: which by the way, should have been enough six against 293 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: two in terms of Super Bowls. That's enough of the conversation. 294 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick's also thirty wins away from breaking Don Shula's 295 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: mark for most career victories, so he has that going 296 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: for him. He also took the Cleveland Browns to the 297 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: playoffs in the nineteen nineties, which taking the Browns to 298 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: the playoffs should be and should be a mark now 299 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: considering how things have gone in Cleveland over the last 300 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: twenty three twenty four years since they were back in 301 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: the NFL, and just having those couple of playoff appearances. 302 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: When he took Cleveland to the playoffs like he did 303 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: in the nineteen nineties before they left for Baltimore and 304 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,479 Speaker 1: then came back, that should be enough to do it. 305 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: But then you look at what Bill Belichick did as 306 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: a coach, and I know what you're gonna say, Well, 307 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: he had Lawrence Taylor. He had Lawrence Taylor. He had 308 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: dominant defenses, whether it was with the Giants, whether it 309 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: was with the Jets. Bill Belichick is the greatest coach 310 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: of all time of the modern era. If you want 311 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 1: to argue Lombardi in different eras, it's very difficult to do, 312 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 1: but you cannot tell him what Andy Reid has done 313 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: is great and he could be adding to his resume. 314 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 1: But I'm sorry, it's Bill Belichick is getting such a 315 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 1: bum rap because Tom Brady left town and Bill Belichick's 316 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: executive decisions maybe hurting Bill Belichick as a head coach. 317 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: But you don't need to poop poo everything that he's done. 318 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: And that is the sense that I get when we 319 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,360 Speaker 1: have these sort of conversations in talking about the greatest 320 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 1: of all time. You could say this coach is the 321 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: greatest that is that has coached me, or I feel 322 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: that this coach is extremely underrated. But we spin things, 323 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: and that's what's going on in this scenario. We are 324 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: spinning Andy Reid being a great coach and trying to 325 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: use the failures when they were the better team in 326 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: those AFC championship games. They're the better team of those 327 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: AFC championship games. When they didn't NFC Championship games, excuse me, 328 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: and didn't go to the Super Bowl, you had d 329 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: Fords offsides, there's a lot that have happened in games. Sorry, 330 00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 1: just this recent poo pooing and dismissing of a greatness 331 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: is the exact opposite of what we got from Victor 332 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: wembin Yama. I like Andy Reid. I think Andy Reid's great. 333 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: I think you'd be surprised where you'd find out where 334 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:13,360 Speaker 1: Andy Reid is currently in terms of career wins when 335 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: it comes to head coaches in the National Football League fifth, yes, 336 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: fifth all time and wins two Super Bowls, multiple super bowls. 337 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: Not a lot of coaches can say that. But to 338 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: put him up on the level of somebody who's won 339 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 1: six and then had the career that he had prior 340 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 1: to what he did when he had won six, sorry 341 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: to me, it's just it's just not the same. But hey, 342 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: because Tom Brady left town and Bill Bellich checking the 343 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 1: Patriots aren't winning as much, then let's just fast track 344 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: everybody else past him. Sorry, can't do it. As one 345 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: Mike Singletary would say, can't do it. We are coming 346 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: to you live from the tireq dot Com studios an 347 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: episode of Fox Sports Sunday. I'm dan by hit me 348 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: up at Dan Byer on Fox. Le'd jump over to 349 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: the news desk. Guys at Glowing Gron is here to 350 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: give us the latest of what is happening on this Sunday. Yeah. 351 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 2: By the way, one additional reason that I heard that 352 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 2: Michael Vick felt that Andy Reid was the greatest coach ever. 353 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 3: I drum mustache of players fixes when they're asleep. 354 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 2: I mean, let's see Lombardi do that back in the day. Anyway, 355 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 2: we do start Dan with coaching news and football coaching news, 356 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 2: because overnight Northwestern University president Michael Shill published an open 357 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 2: letter where he said he may have aired in giving 358 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 2: head football coach Pat Fitzgerald just a two week suspension 359 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 2: as part of the results of an investigation into hazing 360 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 2: allegations within the program. Shill said he focused too much 361 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 2: on what Fitzgerald didn't know and not enough on what 362 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 2: he should have known. It's unclear if this means She'll 363 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 2: will consider additional discipline of Fitzgerald. Former West Virginia University 364 00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 2: head basketball coach Bob Huggins, who resigned in June after 365 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 2: a drunk driving arrest, is now claiming through a Cleveland 366 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 2: based attorney that he actually did not resign and is 367 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 2: demanding the university reinstate him as head coach. The university 368 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,880 Speaker 2: responded to the attorney and I quote, we are frankly confused. 369 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: They the only ones. 370 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 2: The university went on to say, quote, mister Huggins clearly 371 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 2: communicated his resignation in writing, the university will not reinstate 372 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 2: him as head coach unquote. Meanwhile, on the message boards, Dan, 373 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 2: you'll be relieved to know that West Virginia fans are 374 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 2: reacting to these developments with They're reacting to these developments 375 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 2: with restraint and prudence, as exemplified by Rabid Squirrel eighty two, 376 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 2: who posted and I quote, screw it, embrace the villain 377 00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 2: where all black uniforms with FUWVU on them have hugs, 378 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 2: wear gold chains, and drink from a flask during games. 379 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 2: Sign me up for that, unquote Rabbid Squirrel eighty two, 380 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 2: weighing in anyway.

Just another 389 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 2: quiet Sunday morning in sports. 390 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say, and I want you to put 391 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: a pin in the Otani thing, because I want to 392 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: talk quickly about this Bob Huggins deal. If this whole 393 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: revenge tour, that was it mass Squirrel the eighty two, 394 00:22:54,640 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 1: what is it the rabbit squirrel ladies, I don't know 395 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: what rabbit squarel eighty two. Bob Huggins did this to 396 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: himself and the school. So usually when you do, you know, 397 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 1: a bleep you tour if you will, it's because other 398 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: people have wronged you and you are gonna prove them wrong. 399 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: Now he's done all of this not only to himself, 400 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 1: but actually towards the university, so there would be no reason. 401 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 1: And I think there was an email that I saw 402 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: that that may have been submitted that West Virginia could 403 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: say is is his sort of of resignation, And that's 404 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: the proof that he did step down and offer his resignation, 405 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:50,360 Speaker 1: but it's usually it's usually the case of we were 406 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: wronged the NCAA, maybe you know, penalized us, gave us 407 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:59,239 Speaker 1: as in sanctions or infractions that were not just, and 408 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: that's who we're gonna take it to. No, Bob Huggins 409 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: did this to himself. Not only did he do this 410 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: to himself, he actually did it to West Virginia University. 411 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 1: So why they would need to wear the jerseys and 412 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: welcome Huggins back is beyond me. Rabbit squirrel and it's 413 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: the two yeah maybe yeah eighty two, not to be 414 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: confused with rabbit squirrel the squirrel eighty three. You are 415 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: in the clear. Maybe it's the rabies talking. Maybe that's 416 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 1: what it is. I'm not sure that's what we've got. 417 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: There's a lot going crazy stuff at Northwestern to dive into. 418 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: And again top of the hour, thank you very much, Isaac. 419 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: We're going to get into what the All Star Game 420 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 1: is missing on Tuesday, and it's a big, big problem 421 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 1: with Major League Baseball. But Isaac mentioned I said, put 422 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 1: a pin into the Angels. They now have lost five 423 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 1: in a row. They've lost nine of their last ten 424 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: and with last night's lost to the Dodgers, the Angels 425 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: are now under five hundred, and now it starts to happen. 426 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: You didn't think that it was going to happen, but 427 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: now it's starting to happen. There was this general thought 428 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: that if the Angels could put together something in a playoff, 429 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: push that Mike Trout and show hey o Tani, not 430 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 1: only would be heading down the stretch here in August 431 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: in September fighting for a playoff berth and what a 432 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,199 Speaker 1: story it would be, but that maybe, just maybe for 433 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: Angel fans it would be enough for Sho Heyo Tani 434 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: to say, yeah, I want to be here, I want 435 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: to be in this spot, and we aren't. We aren't 436 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 1: a stranger to the Angels playing well and then completely 437 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: bottoming out. I think last year's happened in June, so 438 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: we were a month later than what it was. But 439 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 1: you lose Mike Trout obviously a huge, huge blow to 440 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: the Angels. But now again you've lost nine of ten, 441 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: you've lost your last five, you're under five hundred. The 442 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: Mariners have now passed you in the division. If you 443 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: were looking at that as a stock, they would have 444 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: a red arrow and it would be trending down. And 445 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 1: now the conversation comes, what do you do with sho Haotani? 446 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 1: What do you do with the Angels pitcher now that 447 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: your team is slowly falling out of the playoff race, 448 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: and don't have your other superstar, Mike Trout for at 449 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: least the next month. That's at least the next month 450 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: without Mike Trout the Angels. By the way, if you 451 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 1: wanted to hang your hat on that wild card, not 452 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 1: only four and a half games back out. There are 453 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: four teams in between them. It's not impossible. But again 454 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 1: trending down with that red arrow. Here's why you can't 455 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: trade sho Heotani. I don't think that there's going to 456 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: be any team that is going to give you what 457 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: the true value of Sho Haotani is. Maybe maybe, maybe 458 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: the Dodgers would be willing to do so. Maybe, but 459 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 1: when you think about what you would have to give 460 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: up for a generational player, player that we hadn't seen 461 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 1: in generations, and then explain, all right, these are the 462 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: prospects that we gave up with no guarantee that he 463 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,479 Speaker 1: is going to resign with us. You can use that 464 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: two months as an audition to say this is what 465 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: we've got here. But it is almost too risky for 466 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: a franchise considering the price tag that Otani should command. 467 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: And if you're the Angels, you can't just I don't 468 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 1: think you could take the best deal. I don't. I 469 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 1: don't know if teams are actually going to be competing 470 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 1: against each other, there isn't a fair deal. I have 471 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: a buddy in my fantasy football league that feels that 472 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 1: any deal is reachable. Who would you trade? Who would 473 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,199 Speaker 1: you not trade? Let's find the middle point. I cannot 474 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 1: find the middle point for Shoheo Tani. There's too many 475 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: factors in there. Two month rental may give you that 476 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 1: World Series may and as we've seen as of late, 477 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,239 Speaker 1: sometimes teams get hot. Teams go on runs, use that 478 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 1: momentum from the wild card round, move on, win another series, 479 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: go to the Championship Series. Next thing you know, you're 480 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: in the World Series. It's actually much more up for 481 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: grabs than it was previously. If you get a hot team, 482 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 1: you run into them. The next thing you know, they're 483 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: three levels into the playoffs and on their way to 484 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: the World Series. When they were in eighty three and 485 00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: seventy nineteen. It's too much to risk. You can't you 486 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: can't sell the farm if you're another team for a 487 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: player that you don't know if he's going to return 488 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: the next year. And this is not new. This that 489 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,479 Speaker 1: theory is not new in Major League Baseball. But what 490 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: is new is how good show Heo Tani is and 491 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: the type of product that he is. You just I 492 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: can't find a deal when you give a team your 493 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: top seven prospects, You're going to do that with no 494 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: guarantee that you're going to sign him and then pay 495 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: him what you what you will. You know, the Dodgers 496 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: may be the only team, but the Dodgers could say 497 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: it on themselves, you know what, we feel like we 498 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: are in a good position in the offseason to just 499 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: sign sho Hao Tani to the deal without having to 500 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: give up the prospects. And any other team that could 501 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: feel that they're in a position, it's the New York 502 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: Yankees or whoever would want to pay that price and say, well, 503 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: why am I giving up this much when I could 504 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: just also wait for him to enter free agency because 505 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: it sure doesn't seem like he's going back to the Angels. 506 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: It's why he's untradeable. Even with the Angels now falling 507 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: flat on their face without Mike Trout for the next month, 508 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: Losers a nine of the last ten just lost their 509 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: last five, lost the Freeway Series to the Dodgers, swept 510 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: in that. There is no silver lining. I just don't 511 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: see it. I don't know how in the world you 512 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: could get a deal done that is good for everybody. 513 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: Just it's not gonna happen. Joyo. Tiny's gonna play out 514 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: the season as an Angel, and he's gonna end up 515 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: in free agency. It's not gonna be traded. It is 516 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 1: not going to happen. Today's show is brought to you 517 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: by Progressive Insurance.

I'm Dan Byer, 522 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: No Mike Harmon. This week, Harmon and Saint Louis in 523 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 1: Chicago and doing all the things that a good dad 524 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: would do. Mike will be back next week. I know. 525 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets fans were not happy when I talked about 526 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: their route to an NBA title, and they're definitely not 527 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: going to be happy with what's coming next. That's here 528 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Sunday. Fox Sports Sunday. I'm Dan Byer, 529 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: no Mike Harmon today, So hanging out on a Sunday. 530 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: Ethan Miller, our executive producer, Mark Ramsey technical producer, and 531 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: Isaac Lowencron is at the news desk hanging out giving 532 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: us all the latest that is going on. NBA Summer League, 533 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: NBA con happening in Las Vegas this weekend, continuing throughout 534 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: the week, but really the launch on Friday, the debut 535 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 1: of Victor wimban Yama. So much, so much hype, so 536 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 1: much energy for games that don't necessarily matter. It's absolutely crazy. 537 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: And you look back at the last game that did matter. 538 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 1: It was the Denver Nuggets eliminating the Miami Heat from 539 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: the NBA Finals, and the Denver Nuggets are the NBA champion. 540 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 1: And it wasn't even a month ago that we were 541 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: having a conversation, and I felt like it was a 542 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: conversation that yes, in the time, sometimes in the heat 543 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: of the moment, you can be overreactive, just like I 544 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: felt Michael Vick wasn't talking about Andy Reid. Even even 545 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: though Michael Vick has had these thoughts, it is sometimes 546 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: you're a prisoner of the moment. Chiefs just coming off 547 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: of their second Super Bowl. You're wondering how many more 548 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 1: is Andy Reid and Kansas City gonna get? I don't 549 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: I don't fault you. I don't fault you for doing 550 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: that in the NBA. I don't fault you for thinking 551 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 1: that Nikola Jokic he was the best player in the league, 552 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: because Nikola Jokic showed it time and time again during 553 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: the Nuggets playoff run. And when you look at what 554 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: happens in the playoffs, say with the MVP of Joel Embiid, 555 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 1: and you see what Nikola Jokic did, you had. It 556 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 1: allows you to scratch your head for a moment and 557 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: brings up the argument, well, should the MVP be the 558 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: playoff be decided after the playoffs? No, it shouldn't. Its 559 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: a regular season award. I'm fine with it. Jokis is 560 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: good enough where he's named Finals MVP and we're good 561 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: and Nicola Jokicic now has two league MVPs, an NBA 562 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: Title Finals MVP, and even if he didn't win another award, 563 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: I think that his place in the NBA would be 564 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: cemented and it would be fine. But there was something 565 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: that happened this week that just tells you that there 566 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 1: is this, for some reason, this disconnect, because why wouldn't 567 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: you want to hype Why wouldn't you want to pub 568 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: a two time MVP who is now known throughout the world, 569 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 1: an international player who is just coming off of an 570 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:10,320 Speaker 1: NBA Championship and a Finals MVP. And we're talking about 571 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 1: the video game world. We're talking about NBA two K 572 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,399 Speaker 1: twenty four. And just like we get hype about the 573 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: Madden cover in the NFL, we get hype about the 574 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:28,760 Speaker 1: NBA two K cover athlete. The Madden one is different 575 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,840 Speaker 1: because you said, oh, who's going to be cursed? Who's 576 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 1: getting the curse this year? Josh Allen. The game's not 577 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: even out yet and there are problems in Buffalo, so 578 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 1: you're like, all right, this curse lives, there is something 579 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: to it. But there is no curse for the NBA 580 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 1: two K game. There is none. There's nothing that goes 581 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,839 Speaker 1: with that. But on the cover of the NBA two 582 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: K twenty four game was Kobe Bryant, and within the 583 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: last five years Kobe Bryant, Hecky was In twenty two 584 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: twenty one, Kobe Bryant was on the cover of the game. 585 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 1: It was recently after his death. They had a bunch 586 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: of different versions of the cover, just like they do 587 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: this one, but you could you could understand Kobe Bryant 588 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:17,879 Speaker 1: gets the cover of the NBA two K twenty four 589 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 1: video game. And this is where I feel bad for 590 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: the Nikola Jokic fans is because this is why there's pushback. 591 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: It may seem very not real, not genuine, not based 592 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 1: in reality, but when you're talking about the NBA, you 593 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 1: have to talk about the youth of the NBA, and 594 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 1: you have to talk about the star power of the NBA. 595 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,360 Speaker 1: It's true that no matter what happens, look at what 596 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: happens in free agency, there is something that is crazy 597 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: about the star power of the NBA. Damian Lillard looking 598 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 1: to be traded, Bradley Beale going from the Wizards to Phoenix. 599 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 1: We talk about star We weren't talking about necessarily the teams. 600 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,240 Speaker 1: We're talking about the stars. We're talking about the players. 601 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: And even after winning an NBA title, winning a Finals 602 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 1: MVP and then having two MVP seasons prior to that. 603 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: For some reason, ni kolee Okich is not good enough 604 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 1: to grace the cover of a video game. And it 605 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,359 Speaker 1: may seem petty, it may sound petty, and it may 606 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:29,319 Speaker 1: sound stupid, but it's the reality of the NBA when 607 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,840 Speaker 1: you're talking about players and who moves the needle. And 608 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 1: maybe this is why Victor webin Yama is such a 609 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: big deal because he can move the needle. You're talking 610 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: about a select few. You're talking about Lebron, you're talking 611 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 1: about Durant, you're talking about Steph Curry, when you're talking 612 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 1: about the Legends, obviously Kobe Bryant, obviously Michael Jordan. You're 613 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 1: talking about those guys. But it didn't get to the 614 00:36:55,680 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 1: point that you could say to yourself, Hey, is this 615 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: a good business decision if we could put Nikola Jokicic 616 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 1: on the cover of our video game. For some reason, 617 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,360 Speaker 1: he is not on the cover, And I would have 618 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 1: to think that it would be money. I would have 619 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:12,839 Speaker 1: to think it would be sales. But I would also 620 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 1: have to think that the video game and the people 621 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 1: that you are catering to for some reason, it just 622 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:21,439 Speaker 1: doesn't connect. I think it's I honestly, I don't play 623 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 1: the video game. I don't play tons of video games, 624 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: even though if I did, I would only play hockey 625 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 1: games because they are the hockey or soccer than the 626 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 1: most fun video games that there are. Madden doesn't seem 627 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: to have changed in like fifteen years. But if I 628 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,839 Speaker 1: were to buy NBA two K twenty four, if I 629 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 1: was a video game fan, I would want to see 630 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 1: Nikola Jokic on that cover. But he's not. And that's 631 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,719 Speaker 1: why it tells you where there's this wall. I don't 632 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 1: know why it's there. I don't know how it's there. 633 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 1: Something just organically ends up happening where this wall tumbles down. 634 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 1: But for some reason, Nikola Okics, with all of his 635 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 1: accolades that he has racked up over these last couple 636 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 1: of years, and we just spent two months and really 637 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,839 Speaker 1: a decent amount of June talking about how he's the 638 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:20,760 Speaker 1: greatest player in the NBA, but yet somehow can't grace 639 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,439 Speaker 1: the cover of one of the league's most popular products. Sorry, 640 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 1: it's just shocking to me, very very surprising. I was 641 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: least surprised though, to see Denver make their run to 642 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,799 Speaker 1: an NBA title through two eight seeds, a seven seed 643 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: in a fourth seed. All right, there's my shot at Denver. Sorry, 644 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: I stuck up for you for a while. I had 645 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: to get my shot at It is Fox Sports Sunday. 646 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,919 Speaker 1: I'm Dan Byer.

The Dodgers and 673 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,239 Speaker 1: Angels are missing from today's schedule in some quirk, it's 674 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 1: not my point, but in some weird scheduling quirk, there 675 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,560 Speaker 1: is no game today for the Dodgers or Angels. Is 676 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 1: we're about to enter the All Star break. They just 677 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:21,880 Speaker 1: played their series that wrapped up last night at Chevez Ravine. 678 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: There is no Dodgers or Angels game today. Super super 679 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 1: weird to not have a game scheduled on a Sunday 680 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 1: for a team. I may understand if they were playing 681 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,719 Speaker 1: in London, if they were playing overseas or something, but 682 00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:41,279 Speaker 1: it's just weird to not have those teams playing today. 683 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,879 Speaker 1: But the rest of the Major League Baseball will wrap 684 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 1: up their first half schedule today. That includes the Cincinnati Reds, 685 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 1: who are in Milwaukee to take on the Brewers. Those 686 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 1: teams battling for first place in the NL Central. I'm 687 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,880 Speaker 1: going to be playing, I believe next week as well. 688 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,880 Speaker 1: Red's right now two games up on the brew Crew 689 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,400 Speaker 1: for that top spot in the Central. But we are 690 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,960 Speaker 1: not talking about the NL Central race. We are talking 691 00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,760 Speaker 1: about Ellie de la Cruz who yesterday had an RBI 692 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:11,879 Speaker 1: single and he stole second, and then he stole third 693 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 1: and thought, hey, you know what I'm going I'm still 694 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,799 Speaker 1: home too, And that's what he did. So what it's 695 00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 1: what he did for the Cincinnati Reds. And I know 696 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,680 Speaker 1: he's been here a month. I know he's been in 697 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:25,879 Speaker 1: the big leagues less than thirty games. I get it. 698 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:31,080 Speaker 1: But Major League Baseball is done a lot right this season. 699 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,359 Speaker 1: But they are not getting this right. You cannot tell 700 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:40,320 Speaker 1: me one good reason why Ellie de la Cruz should 701 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 1: not be in Seattle for this All Star Game. And 702 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:49,239 Speaker 1: this is this is the problem with the All Star 703 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 1: Game and some of the things that come with it. 704 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:57,760 Speaker 1: Every team needing to be represented. Still, you can find 705 00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:01,759 Speaker 1: a way fans vote Ellie de la Cruz is not 706 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,880 Speaker 1: on a ballot. I guarantee, if Elie de la Cruz 707 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:09,440 Speaker 1: was on in a ballot, he would be starting for 708 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,480 Speaker 1: the National League in the All Star Game on Tuesday. 709 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,279 Speaker 1: If he was on the ballot, he wasn't because he 710 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 1: was in the miners at the start of the year. 711 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 1: He's in the miners when voting for the All Star 712 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:20,000 Speaker 1: Game started. I get all that. I understand all that, 713 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 1: but there has to be some flexibility if your Major 714 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:28,320 Speaker 1: League Baseball to get your stars and your marquee players 715 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:35,239 Speaker 1: on the field. And you may say, but dan they are, 716 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,800 Speaker 1: it's the All Star Game, it's who the fans wanted 717 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 1: in and then there's this opportunity to have this player 718 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,840 Speaker 1: in there. There's enough spots. There was no way that 719 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 1: Ellie de la Cruz is going to be named as 720 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 1: a reserve. But what you can do if you're Major 721 00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:55,880 Speaker 1: League Baseball is you can put in these fail safes 722 00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,960 Speaker 1: and that would not hurt the game whatsoever. In fact, 723 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:01,760 Speaker 1: the only thing that it would do, it would add 724 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 1: to the game. It would add to the All Star Game. 725 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,200 Speaker 1: If you turn on the tube and watch Fox on 726 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 1: Tuesday and watch the All Star Game, you would stick 727 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:15,640 Speaker 1: around to make sure that you saw Ellie de la 728 00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:19,400 Speaker 1: Cruz bat. He's betting fifth in the lineup. Guess what 729 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:20,919 Speaker 1: they go? One, two, three. You know, I'm not gonna 730 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,400 Speaker 1: stick around for the second inning. I'm gonna I'm definitely 731 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,480 Speaker 1: I Am not going to miss this. Maybe once some 732 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,560 Speaker 1: of the starters go out, you end up doing a 733 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 1: couple of other things. I encourage you not to. I 734 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 1: encourage you to stay locked on Fox for the Midsummer Classic. 735 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 1: But listen, it's human nature. Maybe you're not gonna take 736 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,520 Speaker 1: in the whole All Star Game. But I can guarantee 737 00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 1: you this, If Ellie de la Cruz was in the 738 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:49,279 Speaker 1: All Star Game, you would watch. You would. He has 739 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,359 Speaker 1: a top three star in Major League Baseball right now. 740 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 1: I didn't say player, different top three star and you 741 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,439 Speaker 1: can tell me name brand, you can tell and Judge 742 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 1: and Mike Trout, well, guess who's hurt Aaron Chudge, Mike Trout. 743 00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,080 Speaker 1: You can make an argument for shohe O Tani obviously, 744 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,839 Speaker 1: who is number one on the list. And I think 745 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,160 Speaker 1: you can make an argument for Ronald Acunya Junior or 746 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:19,319 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Braves. But other than that, there is not 747 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,719 Speaker 1: a player in Major League Baseball right now that is 748 00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 1: carrying as much cache and as much honestly good energy 749 00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:30,719 Speaker 1: than Ellie de la Cruz. If you're Rob Manfred, you're 750 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:34,560 Speaker 1: the Major League Baseball Players Union, it is only good 751 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,359 Speaker 1: for your brand to have Ellie de la Cruz in this. 752 00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:43,320 Speaker 1: In this game, the NBA does something that is semi 753 00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,239 Speaker 1: semi genius. Maybe it's too strong of a word, it's 754 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:53,800 Speaker 1: it's pretty smart. Though. You have a Rising Stars game, 755 00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:58,560 Speaker 1: you have the young stars of the NBA play in 756 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:02,600 Speaker 1: an exhibition on the Friday of All Star Weekend, and 757 00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,319 Speaker 1: then on Saturday, you have a skills competition, where, by 758 00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,600 Speaker 1: the way, there are a lot of different skills. Donk 759 00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,680 Speaker 1: competition may not get all the names. Three point shootouts 760 00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 1: sometimes has some skills competition. You actually do see some 761 00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 1: names in that, but it allows you an opportunity to 762 00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:21,680 Speaker 1: see a lot of different players. Ellie de la Cruz 763 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:23,320 Speaker 1: is not going to be on the home run Derby. 764 00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,759 Speaker 1: The Futures Game that Major League Baseball puts on is 765 00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,160 Speaker 1: for guys who have yet to make the major leagues. 766 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 1: So here's Ellie de la Cruz. Well, I'm sure the 767 00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,880 Speaker 1: Cincinnata Reds are fine with it. Their star player doesn't 768 00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,399 Speaker 1: have to play another game and maybe gets a little 769 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,520 Speaker 1: rest after what's been a hectic month. But you cannot 770 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,400 Speaker 1: tell me that it's good for baseball to have Ellie 771 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:48,480 Speaker 1: de la Cruz not in Seattle on Tuesday. What you 772 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,799 Speaker 1: need to do is you need to figure out some 773 00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:54,560 Speaker 1: way to make this put a spot on each roster 774 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,759 Speaker 1: for a young star. I don't care call it a 775 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:02,680 Speaker 1: rising star. I don't care. It only helps your brand, 776 00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:06,040 Speaker 1: It only helps what you're trying to sell. Mike Harmon 777 00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:10,120 Speaker 1: and myself here a couple of weeks ago listed off 778 00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:12,839 Speaker 1: the great things that have happened in the first half 779 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:16,200 Speaker 1: of this Major League Baseball season. There have been tons 780 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,840 Speaker 1: of them, and I think they'll continue in the second half. 781 00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:23,760 Speaker 1: But this All Star Game is your marketing tool as well. 782 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,839 Speaker 1: Not everybody gets to see Ellie de la Cruz. Maybe 783 00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,240 Speaker 1: you've heard about him, Maybe you saw it on social media. 784 00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 1: Maybe you saw it on Twitter. I don't know if 785 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,000 Speaker 1: you saw it on threads. I haven't checked in three days. 786 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:36,799 Speaker 1: I'm already over it. I have no idea on what's 787 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,880 Speaker 1: going on on threads, zero idea. I'm actually about to 788 00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:41,960 Speaker 1: delete the app to be honest, but if I was 789 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:43,640 Speaker 1: on threads, I'm sure I would probably see a lot 790 00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,560 Speaker 1: of Ellie de la Cruz. I have no idea what 791 00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,479 Speaker 1: their algorithm does, but all I know is on social media, 792 00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:55,120 Speaker 1: on Instagram, on Twitter, on TikTok. I am seeing Ellie 793 00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,960 Speaker 1: dela Cruz here, there and everywhere. But for some reason, 794 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:00,879 Speaker 1: I am not seeing him in the All Star Game. 795 00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,319 Speaker 1: And that is why Major League Baseball needs to step in. 796 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,640 Speaker 1: Remember what they did a couple of years ago? Is 797 00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,239 Speaker 1: it last year? Was it last year? When they two 798 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,560 Speaker 1: years ago and they had Albert Pool, Hools and Miguel 799 00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:16,080 Speaker 1: Cabrera being honored as like veteran members of the All 800 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,600 Speaker 1: Star of the All Star teams of the American League 801 00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:22,359 Speaker 1: and National League. They just made that up, literally, just 802 00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna We're just gonna give spots to them. You 803 00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,680 Speaker 1: could do that with this pick a star in the 804 00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:34,080 Speaker 1: American League, maybe someone that was called up in May 805 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,120 Speaker 1: that has spent a month just to give them the exposure. 806 00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:40,239 Speaker 1: Maybe that kid goes up and hits a home run 807 00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:41,600 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, like wow, I gotta watch it, 808 00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:44,320 Speaker 1: I gotta watch this. But if you had Ellie d 809 00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:50,719 Speaker 1: la Cruz in the lineup. You could, you would be 810 00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,360 Speaker 1: watching the All Star Game. It would be a massive, 811 00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,800 Speaker 1: massive win for Major League Baseball, one of their top 812 00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,719 Speaker 1: three stars and again not best players were talking star 813 00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:03,920 Speaker 1: pop right now. Sorry, the kids got it. Kids got it. 814 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,160 Speaker 1: Signs at the ballpark, visiting fans coming in carrying signs 815 00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,600 Speaker 1: for Ellie de la Cruz. When was the last time 816 00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:13,400 Speaker 1: the Reds were a draw on the road? Tell me that. 817 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:15,800 Speaker 1: And now people are going to say, I want to 818 00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:17,279 Speaker 1: go to the ballpark. I want to see Ellie de 819 00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,160 Speaker 1: la Cruz, but he's not at the All Star Game. 820 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,280 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball needs to do something. It's too late now, 821 00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:28,680 Speaker 1: absolutely well, there was an injury. If there was an 822 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:33,280 Speaker 1: injury or a player Withdrew and you had an open spot, 823 00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:35,960 Speaker 1: then you give it to Ellie de la Cruz. Maybe 824 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:39,480 Speaker 1: that's your window. And I don't care about the person 825 00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:43,720 Speaker 1: who was snubbed. We had stupid voting things for years 826 00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:47,080 Speaker 1: where you would have five guys, four of which would 827 00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,279 Speaker 1: be like, I was so close to an All Star Game, 828 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:53,640 Speaker 1: but I lost the popularity contest. Like, imagine how crappy 829 00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:57,160 Speaker 1: that must have felt for them. This is an actual positive. 830 00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:00,160 Speaker 1: There's nobody that's going to be mad that Ellie de 831 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,839 Speaker 1: la Cruz has added to a roster or another young 832 00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,160 Speaker 1: star is added to the roster in the American League. 833 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,799 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. If you're the twenty seventh best All Star 834 00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,680 Speaker 1: in your league, then maybe you shouldn't be there. There 835 00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:12,560 Speaker 1: are other moles that you need to feed. There are 836 00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:15,200 Speaker 1: other things that you have to deal with. This is 837 00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,520 Speaker 1: just a it's a it's such an e five by 838 00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:23,080 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. It is such an error, and it's 839 00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,680 Speaker 1: just too bad because we're gonna go out to the 840 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:29,880 Speaker 1: All Star Game and it's gonna we're gonna honor Kegraphy Junior. Definitely, 841 00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,800 Speaker 1: Uh Julio Rodriguez home run derby in front of the 842 00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:37,759 Speaker 1: home fans. Maybe he comes through just falling short last year. 843 00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:41,399 Speaker 1: Maybe this is his opportunity to shine. All of that's great, 844 00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:44,600 Speaker 1: but Tuesday Night would be so much better if Ellie 845 00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,160 Speaker 1: de la Cruz was a part of the National League. 846 00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:50,680 Speaker 1: All right, it's Fox Sports Sunday.

That when he came in, 868 00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,800 Speaker 1: we were just going to start talking about Wimbledon Men's 869 00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:00,439 Speaker 1: doubles and just try to completely throw them all off guard. 870 00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:05,160 Speaker 1: Hopefully he's not listening on the iHeart radio app or 871 00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,120 Speaker 1: listening on AM five seventy in LA, because then he's 872 00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,719 Speaker 1: going to know the joke. But when he walks in 873 00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,360 Speaker 1: and if you hear me switch gears and start talking 874 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:18,120 Speaker 1: Wimbledon men's doubles, it's because we are gonna we are 875 00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:21,400 Speaker 1: pranking Bucky Brooks.

Yeah, Look, 885 00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:49,319 Speaker 6: it's it's Wimbledon time and we got the US Open 886 00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:50,800 Speaker 6: in the fall. One of these days I'll go to 887 00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:54,719 Speaker 6: one of these events. But for now, Dan, it full 888 00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:56,719 Speaker 6: speed ahead of the National Football League, and it's time 889 00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:58,040 Speaker 6: for my training camp to it a couple of. 890 00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,880 Speaker 1: Weeks and we've got a couple of training camp tours 891 00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,120 Speaker 1: in the in this backyard, and I hope you're going 892 00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:04,640 Speaker 1: to make it out to southern California. 893 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:05,279 Speaker 6: For sure. 894 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,239 Speaker 1: We're gonna start, and we're gonna start. An ox SNAr. 895 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:12,000 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott asked at a football camp yesterday on does 896 00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:15,880 Speaker 1: he feel a sense of urgency? Thirty is here for 897 00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,520 Speaker 1: Dak does he feel a sense of urgency? And he 898 00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,800 Speaker 1: said one thousand percent? And I guess my question to you. 899 00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:26,640 Speaker 1: We know Jerry Jones has been urgent, but should there 900 00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:30,520 Speaker 1: a reason for Dak Prescott to feel urgency to advance 901 00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:33,319 Speaker 1: this team to a conference championship game in maybe even 902 00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:33,879 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. 903 00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:34,680 Speaker 7: Yeah? 904 00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:37,400 Speaker 6: And Dan, look, he had a rough year. This is 905 00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,160 Speaker 6: not liking to turn the ball over so much. I 906 00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:41,200 Speaker 6: think he forced him many throws based on I was 907 00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,920 Speaker 6: told that it was kind of like Michael Gallup, who 908 00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,279 Speaker 6: was not himself come back from the axcl injury. They 909 00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,600 Speaker 6: didn't have Brandon Cooks fan now they do, and he 910 00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,719 Speaker 6: just tried to make it happen too much. And it 911 00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,000 Speaker 6: just is not him turn the ball over so much. 912 00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:56,279 Speaker 6: I know he wants to kind of redeem himself. He's 913 00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:59,640 Speaker 6: been very upfronty too, responsibility for it, very accountable player, 914 00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:01,480 Speaker 6: by the way, great leader. I've talk to the coaches 915 00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:04,480 Speaker 6: over the years about Dak and everybody loves them. And 916 00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:06,759 Speaker 6: you're expecting to bounce back here. And by the way, 917 00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:10,920 Speaker 6: he's probably going to get an extension soon because they 918 00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:13,279 Speaker 6: want to look at his cap number. They could lower 919 00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:15,640 Speaker 6: it by extending it and lower's cap number this year, 920 00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:18,560 Speaker 6: and they've got some contracts to work through. But look, 921 00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:22,080 Speaker 6: he's their guy, and look, Jerry's turning eighties, getting older, 922 00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:24,719 Speaker 6: and they want to get this thing going. I'll tell 923 00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:26,520 Speaker 6: you what. Though they have a great roster, they have 924 00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:28,719 Speaker 6: one of the top rosters in the natural Football League. 925 00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:31,000 Speaker 6: I don't know what happens to this team wants to 926 00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:32,400 Speaker 6: get to the playoffs. It's very strange. 927 00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,799 Speaker 1: It's super strange. The game against the forty nine ers, 928 00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:40,120 Speaker 1: I think is stuck in everyone's mind. Let's stay within 929 00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:43,759 Speaker 1: that division. You've got a deadline looming in a little 930 00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,640 Speaker 1: more than a week for players to sign a long 931 00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,239 Speaker 1: term deal or play on the franchise tag. What's going 932 00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,239 Speaker 1: to happen with the Giants and Saquon Barkley do you 933 00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:52,040 Speaker 1: feel at this point. 934 00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:54,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, look, I think there's a better than you know. 935 00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:56,520 Speaker 6: I don't put percentages on anything, nless I'm the one 936 00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:00,360 Speaker 6: is involved. But I think there's a better than average 937 00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:02,360 Speaker 6: chance that they'll get this deal done by the deadline. 938 00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:04,320 Speaker 6: If the deadline, by the way, is not July fifteenth, 939 00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:08,080 Speaker 6: it's the seventeenth. If you can't have a franchise deadline 940 00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:09,960 Speaker 6: on a weekend, it's got to be on that Monday 941 00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:11,600 Speaker 6: or whenever during the week. You can't be it on 942 00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:14,120 Speaker 6: Saturday Sunday. So that's why it's on the seventeenth, just 943 00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:15,280 Speaker 6: next Monday. 944 00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:16,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. 945 00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:17,839 Speaker 6: Look, they both sides want to get this done. Now 946 00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:21,320 Speaker 6: here's what you can throw out. This is not happening. 947 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:23,240 Speaker 6: This idea that he's going to like if he doesn't 948 00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:26,040 Speaker 6: get his deal, that he'll he won't play this season, 949 00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:28,840 Speaker 6: that won't happen no matter what he says. One player's 950 00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:31,120 Speaker 6: done it. I've covered the league twenty four years now. 951 00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:33,640 Speaker 6: It's my twenty fourth year. One player did it and 952 00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,800 Speaker 6: it completely destroyed his career. Le'Veon Bell not playing that 953 00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,280 Speaker 6: year and then, as you know, signing with the Jets. 954 00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:43,320 Speaker 6: He was not the same player. There's no question about it. 955 00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,759 Speaker 6: And I'll tell you what. The money that i've heard 956 00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:51,000 Speaker 6: is actually very good. The problem is getting guaranteed money, 957 00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:53,480 Speaker 6: fully guaranteed money in the second years. That's going to 958 00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:55,680 Speaker 6: be the key to the steal. If he gets fully 959 00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:58,399 Speaker 6: guaranteed money a good amount, that deal will definitely get done. 960 00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,120 Speaker 6: If it doesn't, you could see him not signed and 961 00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:03,600 Speaker 6: just wait until posture at the start of the season. 962 00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:06,160 Speaker 1: What about Tony Pollard situation with Dallas. Maybe I should 963 00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,360 Speaker 1: have started there and then gone to Barkley. What about 964 00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:09,200 Speaker 1: him and the Cowboys? 965 00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:13,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, and look his situations come out with significant injury. Yeah, 966 00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:16,600 Speaker 6: his salaries just over ten million. The problem was doing 967 00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:18,759 Speaker 6: a deal like that, and they haven't ruled it out, 968 00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:20,400 Speaker 6: and they like to get it done. I think Barkley 969 00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:24,200 Speaker 6: is a better chance. The problem is because Pollard is 970 00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,960 Speaker 6: really talented. He's not what we call Dan, a high 971 00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,320 Speaker 6: volume running back where he could take a lot of carries. 972 00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:32,080 Speaker 6: He only had four games last year Dan of over 973 00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:35,080 Speaker 6: fifteen carries. That's not a guy you want to pay 974 00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:40,759 Speaker 6: thirteen to fifteen million. That's the Barkley deal. Any of 975 00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,279 Speaker 6: these deals that gets done, for get done for running backs. 976 00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:46,320 Speaker 6: Guys who are currently part of a team not for freegency. 977 00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,440 Speaker 6: Next year, those deals are going to be somewhere between 978 00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,359 Speaker 6: thirteen and fifteen million. Isn't it interesting? All the guys 979 00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,560 Speaker 6: are a Phrasings This year the best deal the freegency 980 00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,480 Speaker 6: was six point two five million a season. But from 981 00:55:56,680 --> 00:56:02,600 Speaker 6: Miles Sanders with the Carolina Panthers, I know, I know. 982 00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:08,040 Speaker 1: The going is rough for running backs. It absolutely yeah, yeah, yeah, 983 00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:10,759 Speaker 1: it is for sure. Adam Kaplan our Fox Sports Radio 984 00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:13,920 Speaker 1: NFL Ncenter joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. Earlier 985 00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,400 Speaker 1: in the show, we brought back the comments that Michael 986 00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:21,000 Speaker 1: Vick made about Andy Reid on Tyreek Hill's podcast. I 987 00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:23,560 Speaker 1: know it's about a week old, but I mean you're 988 00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:27,800 Speaker 1: based in Philadelphia, yeah, and obviously know the egos of 989 00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,120 Speaker 1: the Inside the Birds podcast Andy Reid once they head 990 00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:33,400 Speaker 1: coach at Philadelphia. But for those that may have missed it, 991 00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:36,680 Speaker 1: Michael Vick says that he thinks that Andy Reid really 992 00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:39,239 Speaker 1: should be considered the goat when it comes to coaching 993 00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:42,359 Speaker 1: and not Bill Belichick because of what Reid has done. 994 00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,839 Speaker 1: Is there any comparison between the two. Are we even 995 00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:49,200 Speaker 1: able to have a conversation that maybe Andy Reid would 996 00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:53,280 Speaker 1: threaten at least of the modern coaches of Bill Belichick's greatness. 997 00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:55,800 Speaker 6: Here's the thing. Bill is around seventy, Andy's in his 998 00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:58,719 Speaker 6: late sixties. The questions a how long would these guys coach? 999 00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:02,600 Speaker 6: It's funny when they said many years ago he didn't 1000 00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:04,839 Speaker 6: see himself coaching. I've got the exact phrase, but sure 1001 00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:06,640 Speaker 6: sounded like he didn't think he'd be coaching at seventy 1002 00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:10,000 Speaker 6: And here we are Andy. Look, he's got the two titles, 1003 00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:13,320 Speaker 6: these three appearances of the Super Bowl. I happened to 1004 00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:15,640 Speaker 6: be working for the ego from a media standpoint, when 1005 00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:19,400 Speaker 6: at the time that he was fired, it was bad, Dan. 1006 00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,080 Speaker 6: It was bad. He had lost a lot of key 1007 00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:26,000 Speaker 6: coaches that work for him, guys became head coaches, many 1008 00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:29,400 Speaker 6: of them left to become head coaches, and that hurt him. 1009 00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:31,480 Speaker 6: That the front office was in disarray. Things are just 1010 00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:35,760 Speaker 6: not good. And then he reinvented himself. Effect Dan, friends 1011 00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:37,680 Speaker 6: of his that are close to him told me to 1012 00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:39,960 Speaker 6: take a year off, and he said, no, I'm going 1013 00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:41,760 Speaker 6: to coach. This is what I do. And that was 1014 00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:46,800 Speaker 6: actually a great decision. And I think I'm pretty certain 1015 00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:49,280 Speaker 6: he's made the playoffs every year. If not, if he 1016 00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:51,440 Speaker 6: missed it once it was one year. But I'm pretty 1017 00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,320 Speaker 6: certain he made the playoffs every year with Kansas City, 1018 00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,720 Speaker 6: and he's done a great turnaround job. He's done a 1019 00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,840 Speaker 6: phenomenal job with Brett Feach. And the problem is Bill's 1020 00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:00,800 Speaker 6: got the most Super Bowl rings. That that that's what 1021 00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:04,600 Speaker 6: differential differentiates the two. But you know, Andy, my coach 1022 00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:08,400 Speaker 6: into a seventies And the other thing is, do you 1023 00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:11,440 Speaker 6: really want to leave Patrick Mahons? Yeah, and he's kind 1024 00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:14,240 Speaker 6: of created them, so why would you. It's that coaches 1025 00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:16,720 Speaker 6: love coaching, and I just can't see any walking away 1026 00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:17,880 Speaker 6: with in the next three or four years. 1027 00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:22,520 Speaker 1: I can't appreciate Vic, being a former player having that opinion. 1028 00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:26,560 Speaker 1: I can also appreciate, you know what, to your point 1029 00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,600 Speaker 1: of what could be ahead. I just I feel it's 1030 00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:34,040 Speaker 1: almost a dismissing of Belichick because of the recent run. 1031 00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:37,840 Speaker 1: And I just think it's extremely unfair. I just I mean, 1032 00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:42,040 Speaker 1: and it's not like they've stunk, they just haven't been great. 1033 00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:45,600 Speaker 1: Maybe if guys wouldn't throw laterals to the other team, 1034 00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:48,840 Speaker 1: you know, and let him score touchdown like there's you know, 1035 00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:50,760 Speaker 1: there's there's a point to all that, I just I 1036 00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:52,880 Speaker 1: just I feel like the gap is big plus I 1037 00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:56,080 Speaker 1: even I mean, I'm I'm at the the age of 1038 00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:01,360 Speaker 1: I still think of Belichick as a parcel guy, you know, 1039 00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:03,920 Speaker 1: like of the coaching trees, and so then I think 1040 00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:05,600 Speaker 1: of Andy Reid and I'm like, well, there's home Grin 1041 00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:07,680 Speaker 1: and then home Grin, there was Walsh, you know, so 1042 00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:10,000 Speaker 1: it's difficult for me to differentiate. But if I'm even 1043 00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,600 Speaker 1: looking at those sort of things, I'm like, gosh, even 1044 00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:15,000 Speaker 1: what he did as a defensive coordinator, you know, whether 1045 00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,800 Speaker 1: it be with the Giants and the Jets talking about Belichick, like, 1046 00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:19,760 Speaker 1: I think you got to put that in the consideration. 1047 00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:21,160 Speaker 1: I don't know, Oh yeah, yeah. 1048 00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:23,320 Speaker 6: I agree with the fact that my only knock on 1049 00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,080 Speaker 6: film I've been a big defender of his last year 1050 00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:29,560 Speaker 6: is a terrible mistake with Matt Patricia as his offense coordinator. 1051 00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,680 Speaker 6: I don't know. That was just I just don't know 1052 00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:34,120 Speaker 6: how you do that when you're trying to develop a 1053 00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:37,080 Speaker 6: young quarterback. Mac Jones's terrific as a rookie. We all 1054 00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:40,480 Speaker 6: know he struggled last season. It's not a secret Matt 1055 00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:44,120 Speaker 6: Patricia tried to change things up I'm told, and it 1056 00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:49,080 Speaker 6: was rejected by the quarterbacks, and Mac Jones struggled and 1057 00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:51,240 Speaker 6: Bill had to learn from that. And you know what 1058 00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:54,680 Speaker 6: the thing is here, Robert Kraft say, they put you know, 1059 00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:57,240 Speaker 6: he's been very critical of Belichick without matching Bill's name. 1060 00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:59,120 Speaker 6: He so they put they put Matt Patricia in a 1061 00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:02,440 Speaker 6: tough spot. Of course, did you how do you do this? 1062 01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:04,160 Speaker 6: But the guy who's never even come close to Colin 1063 01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:06,760 Speaker 6: plays before, and that to me is a knock on Bill. 1064 01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,400 Speaker 6: That's a fair knock sure, But overall, yes, Bill is 1065 01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:10,960 Speaker 6: the goat, and I don't think it's close. 1066 01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,440 Speaker 1: Adam kaplan our Fox Sports Radio NFL ins that are 1067 01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:15,480 Speaker 1: joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. Let's go to 1068 01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:19,040 Speaker 1: Buffalo where there have been issues. Josh Allen saying this 1069 01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:23,000 Speaker 1: week on Busting with the Boys that hey, it's July. 1070 01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:26,880 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott sent Stefan Diggs on which I don't think 1071 01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:29,680 Speaker 1: that we knew. I think that Alan provided that to 1072 01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:31,880 Speaker 1: us that we didn't know. But is there reason to 1073 01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:34,360 Speaker 1: be concerned in Buffalo even though it's only and I'm 1074 01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:35,800 Speaker 1: using air quotes July. 1075 01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:41,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, Look, I've checked into the situation. I would say 1076 01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:44,280 Speaker 6: it's slightly overblown in terms of is it a problem. 1077 01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:49,920 Speaker 6: It is July Jones and excuse me. Diggs and the 1078 01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:53,800 Speaker 6: quarterback are Josh Allen, are very close. They have a 1079 01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:57,320 Speaker 6: very good relationship. Now the offense, I think there's some 1080 01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:01,360 Speaker 6: frustration from Dignit's part with the offense last year, particularly 1081 01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:04,120 Speaker 6: in the playoffs. But there they were awful in the playoffs. 1082 01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:06,400 Speaker 6: Their offense really bogged down. And you knew there was 1083 01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:08,160 Speaker 6: going to be a drop off from Brian Gable to 1084 01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:11,120 Speaker 6: Ken Dorsey and there certainly was in terms of optics 1085 01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:13,800 Speaker 6: and wasn't quite as potent. And look, they had problems 1086 01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:16,520 Speaker 6: at receiver. Gave Davis had a high ankle sprain prior 1087 01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:18,400 Speaker 6: to the two week two gave me never got it right. 1088 01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:20,720 Speaker 6: They had no depth at the position. They're still a 1089 01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:25,080 Speaker 6: little light there. But you know, overall, when you look 1090 01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:28,240 Speaker 6: at this situation, it's going to be fine. I don't 1091 01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:30,440 Speaker 6: expect any issues, but we have to know we have 1092 01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:32,800 Speaker 6: to look at Digne's history. You know, he left to 1093 01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:36,720 Speaker 6: practice without permission with the Vikings. My University of Maryland 1094 01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:38,640 Speaker 6: football source told me they were not sad at see him. 1095 01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:41,200 Speaker 6: Levy he was very immature then and now you look 1096 01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:43,440 Speaker 6: at him now. He's kind of a leader, but he 1097 01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:45,560 Speaker 6: also is a guy that will apt out sometimes and 1098 01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:46,880 Speaker 6: this has been his history. 1099 01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:50,120 Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's very interesting to watch Buffalo. 1100 01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:54,440 Speaker 1: Nothing has gone well for them except tomorrow. Hamlin is 1101 01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:58,400 Speaker 1: back and healthy football field. That's that's the awesome part. 1102 01:01:58,440 --> 01:01:59,960 Speaker 1: I'm I'm going to leave you with these two things, 1103 01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:03,920 Speaker 1: and they're kind of the two cards that we're waiting 1104 01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:06,400 Speaker 1: to be played. What's the lad with the latest with 1105 01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:09,560 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins? How close is he is? He's just waiting 1106 01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:13,520 Speaker 1: for any like somewhat decent quarterback team to enter the fray. 1107 01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:15,400 Speaker 1: And what's the latest on Dalvin Cook? 1108 01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:19,960 Speaker 6: It's strictly money. It's strictly money both with Cook. When 1109 01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:22,360 Speaker 6: they get what they're they're looking for, they'll both sign. 1110 01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:26,240 Speaker 6: The most fascinating part about the Dalvin Cook thing is 1111 01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:30,080 Speaker 6: if New England gets serious about their interest in Dalvin Cook. 1112 01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:33,400 Speaker 6: Think about it. Mommy clearly wants him. You met like 1113 01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:37,080 Speaker 6: for Miami to put Miami over the top of that, 1114 01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:39,640 Speaker 6: they have to be more dynamic at running back, and 1115 01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:42,440 Speaker 6: they did draft Devin A. Shane. He's really explosive, but 1116 01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:45,920 Speaker 6: he's not in every down back Dalvin Cook could put 1117 01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:48,240 Speaker 6: their offense over the top. There's no question about it. 1118 01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:50,560 Speaker 6: Jeff Wilson's their starter, but he's more of a fit 1119 01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:53,720 Speaker 6: for their scheme. And then de Hop he's not there 1120 01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:55,400 Speaker 6: in the money, and there's plenty of interest in him. 1121 01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:57,600 Speaker 6: That's that's not the issue. The issue is money and 1122 01:02:57,680 --> 01:02:58,880 Speaker 6: the ogency. What happened? 1123 01:02:59,280 --> 01:02:59,680 Speaker 7: Dan? Right? 1124 01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:02,400 Speaker 6: When we get right when players report? Most camps report 1125 01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:04,720 Speaker 6: on July twenty fifth, except for the Browns, and she 1126 01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,560 Speaker 6: had to report in about a week from now. But 1127 01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:10,600 Speaker 6: that's when the urgency will happened. They're all vote will 1128 01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:13,920 Speaker 6: play and I just can't see the Hop unless the 1129 01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:16,800 Speaker 6: Titans just blow him out with the water with an 1130 01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:19,760 Speaker 6: unbelievable offer. I just can't see him signing there that 1131 01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:22,840 Speaker 6: it would have to be significantly better than any other 1132 01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:23,640 Speaker 6: team would offer him. 1133 01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:27,040 Speaker 1: I would he because that was his first visit. I thought, Man, 1134 01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:29,560 Speaker 1: he's visiting everywhere, Like I mean, if you're going to 1135 01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:33,560 Speaker 1: the Titans, you must have fifteen visits lined up. And 1136 01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:35,880 Speaker 1: that was not the case. I was. I was shocked 1137 01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:39,640 Speaker 1: when Tennessee was involved and they're still there all right, 1138 01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:41,880 Speaker 1: When finally, before I let you go, when does the 1139 01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,560 Speaker 1: camp tour start is that probably? 1140 01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:47,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, I may do see that. As you know, the 1141 01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:49,320 Speaker 6: Rams and Chargers are like fifteen minutes from each other. 1142 01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:52,080 Speaker 6: I typically like to do that one the first week 1143 01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:55,800 Speaker 6: of August.

Wink wink, what's getting a lot of play? 1168 01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:13,560 Speaker 2: College coaches in two different sports, two different stories. Overnight, 1169 01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:18,320 Speaker 2: Northwestern University president Michael Schill published an open letter where 1170 01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:21,560 Speaker 2: he said he may have aired in giving head football 1171 01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:25,640 Speaker 2: coach Pat Fitzgerald just a two week suspension after an 1172 01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:29,840 Speaker 2: investigation in the hazing allegations within the program. Shall said 1173 01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:33,640 Speaker 2: he focused too much on what Fitzgerald didn't know and 1174 01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:37,439 Speaker 2: not enough on what he should have known. Shill said 1175 01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:40,600 Speaker 2: he will assess future steps in the days ahead, hinting 1176 01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:45,920 Speaker 2: that he's considering additional discipline of Fitzgerald.

The 1181 01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:08,919 Speaker 2: university responded to the attorney quote, we are frankly confused. 1182 01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:14,600 Speaker 2: Mister Huggins clearly communicated his resignation in writing. The university 1183 01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:19,720 Speaker 2: will not reinstate him as head coach unquote. In Major 1184 01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:22,960 Speaker 2: League Baseball Saturday night, the San Diego Padres defeated the 1185 01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,919 Speaker 2: New York Mets three to one, breaking the Mets six 1186 01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:29,160 Speaker 2: game winning streak as Blake Snell struck out eleven and 1187 01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:33,040 Speaker 2: six scoreless innings.

Serious situation going on in 1474 01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:54,439 Speaker 1: the world of college football, and it's at Northwestern and 1475 01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:57,400 Speaker 1: it's the it's not just the topic of hazing, it 1476 01:21:57,560 --> 01:22:02,640 Speaker 1: is hazing that went on at Northwestern. Details of what 1477 01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:06,880 Speaker 1: was alleged released yesterday the Northwestern school newspaper the one 1478 01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:11,479 Speaker 1: that actually got the details spoke to two unnamed players 1479 01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:14,560 Speaker 1: who gave them the details of what was being investigated 1480 01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:17,479 Speaker 1: by the school of Those details, by the way, were 1481 01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:20,560 Speaker 1: not released to the public, and we're not known to 1482 01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:22,960 Speaker 1: the public when we found out that Pat Fitzgerald was 1483 01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:25,880 Speaker 1: given a two week suspension in the off season for 1484 01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:29,000 Speaker 1: the conduct that had occurred, and at least it started 1485 01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:32,240 Speaker 1: prior to their training camp trips that they would take 1486 01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:35,880 Speaker 1: up to Kenosha, Wisconsin. It was pre twenty twenty, with 1487 01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:39,840 Speaker 1: even the most recent hazing allegations happening in November of 1488 01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:45,280 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. I understand that it has been a 1489 01:22:45,360 --> 01:22:50,599 Speaker 1: part of football culture. I just I don't know where 1490 01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:52,920 Speaker 1: to draw the line, Bucky. And it's because it don't 1491 01:22:52,960 --> 01:22:55,640 Speaker 1: know where to draw the line. Is that I just 1492 01:22:55,880 --> 01:22:58,120 Speaker 1: I think there's got to be zero tolerance, and not 1493 01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:00,960 Speaker 1: in terms of Pat fitzg yer Old's job. I don't 1494 01:23:00,960 --> 01:23:03,000 Speaker 1: think that Pat Fitzgerald is going to lose his job. 1495 01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:05,160 Speaker 1: I don't think that he should lose his job. But 1496 01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:08,760 Speaker 1: a two week off season penalty is just not the 1497 01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:13,320 Speaker 1: penalty that you need to have for such egregious allegations 1498 01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:17,599 Speaker 1: and findings when you hear Pat Fitzgerald suspended two weeks. 1499 01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:20,040 Speaker 1: When you read the allegations that went on, you're a 1500 01:23:20,120 --> 01:23:24,840 Speaker 1: former player NFL college, you know the real deal with 1501 01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:29,120 Speaker 1: a lenient is this mean? I mean, how do things change? 1502 01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:32,800 Speaker 8: So I would think, and you know, you're a parent, like, 1503 01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:36,920 Speaker 8: imagine little Diamond having to deal with the stuff that 1504 01:23:37,360 --> 01:23:40,800 Speaker 8: has been reported in the investigation when it comes to 1505 01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:41,840 Speaker 8: hazing and those things. 1506 01:23:42,080 --> 01:23:43,040 Speaker 1: And look, man, you won't. 1507 01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:47,040 Speaker 8: Find a person who loves football more than me. I 1508 01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:50,160 Speaker 8: love everything about the game. I love like the character 1509 01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:52,240 Speaker 8: that is revealed from the game with things that you learn, 1510 01:23:52,320 --> 01:23:54,760 Speaker 8: the life lessons, all of those things. But to me, 1511 01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:58,680 Speaker 8: the hazing part I just would never understand. And I 1512 01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:01,600 Speaker 8: was fortunate that I never had to undergo any of 1513 01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:04,679 Speaker 8: those rituals and things to be a part of a team, 1514 01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:07,559 Speaker 8: not in Pop Warner, not in high school, not in college, 1515 01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:09,800 Speaker 8: not with any of the pro teams that played with 1516 01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:12,439 Speaker 8: And so to me, I can't understand it. 1517 01:24:12,640 --> 01:24:14,800 Speaker 1: And then when you think about the. 1518 01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:18,960 Speaker 8: Sexualized stuff that was a part of the hazing rituals 1519 01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:21,680 Speaker 8: and routines, it doesn't look there's no place for that. 1520 01:24:21,800 --> 01:24:24,400 Speaker 8: So yeah, when you tell me a two week off 1521 01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:29,599 Speaker 8: season suspension is the punishment. Yeah, I don't think that's 1522 01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:32,960 Speaker 8: significant enough, particularly once these things come to light. 1523 01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:36,679 Speaker 1: There's no way you can there's no way you can tell. 1524 01:24:36,640 --> 01:24:41,680 Speaker 8: Someone's parent that that is that's an acceptable punishment for 1525 01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:44,439 Speaker 8: something that took place on your watch, whether you like 1526 01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:46,040 Speaker 8: it or not. You're the head coach, like you are 1527 01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:50,240 Speaker 8: responsible for those things. And so yeah, no, it's not enough. 1528 01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:53,600 Speaker 1: It's why ignorance is not an excuse. Even if you 1529 01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:56,040 Speaker 1: didn't know, it still is on your watch. And there 1530 01:24:56,080 --> 01:24:58,840 Speaker 1: are some that are questioning whether Pat Fitzgerald did or 1531 01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:02,280 Speaker 1: didn't know. There was also clips circulating from years ago 1532 01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:08,519 Speaker 1: showing Pat Fitzgerald talking against hazing and the ritual of 1533 01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:15,280 Speaker 1: hazing does I'm not saying it falls on the players 1534 01:25:15,479 --> 01:25:21,000 Speaker 1: but as well, But is there is there a factor 1535 01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:24,120 Speaker 1: in it where a player or players could put a 1536 01:25:24,240 --> 01:25:24,800 Speaker 1: stop to it. 1537 01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:28,120 Speaker 8: Yes, they can put a stop to it. They absolutely 1538 01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:30,720 Speaker 8: can't like somebody on the team could have what I 1539 01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:32,920 Speaker 8: thought too like no, like, hey guy, look, this is 1540 01:25:33,680 --> 01:25:36,439 Speaker 8: not that. And I understand it's very difficult in a 1541 01:25:36,479 --> 01:25:38,960 Speaker 8: situation like that when you have peer pressure in those things, 1542 01:25:39,040 --> 01:25:41,640 Speaker 8: But I mean, what's right is right, and you know 1543 01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:44,960 Speaker 8: when certain things aren't right, and I understand it because 1544 01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:47,679 Speaker 8: you have to deal with it like seniors and freshmen, 1545 01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:51,080 Speaker 8: and how seniors deal with freshmen and how they initiate him. 1546 01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:53,880 Speaker 8: And sometimes when you're dealing with older guys bringing in 1547 01:25:54,040 --> 01:25:56,080 Speaker 8: younger guys to the fall, they take advantage of the 1548 01:25:57,160 --> 01:26:00,720 Speaker 8: youth and naivete of the young players. But that's an 1549 01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:07,280 Speaker 8: except particularly like, man, if you're Northwestern, a high academic school, 1550 01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:11,280 Speaker 8: a school that prizes itself in terms of the academic 1551 01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:15,560 Speaker 8: status that it has amongst the college landscape, there's no 1552 01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:18,200 Speaker 8: way you want that associated with with your brand and 1553 01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:20,320 Speaker 8: your name. So yeah, there are a lot of things 1554 01:26:20,360 --> 01:26:22,240 Speaker 8: that would have to be done. I'm not saying that 1555 01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:25,680 Speaker 8: Pat Fitzgerald has to be fired, but if you're Northwestern 1556 01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:28,760 Speaker 8: like that is certainly a stain on the brand. 1557 01:26:28,880 --> 01:26:31,599 Speaker 1: It Also, I think it's I think it could end 1558 01:26:31,640 --> 01:26:34,040 Speaker 1: with the players, but I also think that it obviously 1559 01:26:34,240 --> 01:26:35,240 Speaker 1: starts with the players. 1560 01:26:35,840 --> 01:26:37,920 Speaker 8: I think that it's some but the players had to 1561 01:26:37,960 --> 01:26:39,759 Speaker 8: get that from somewhere, like even if it's a tradition 1562 01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:42,280 Speaker 8: passed down like Pat Fitzgerald played there, and so we 1563 01:26:42,360 --> 01:26:44,200 Speaker 8: don't know how long this I think they call it 1564 01:26:44,439 --> 01:26:49,760 Speaker 8: running has been a part of the program. But if 1565 01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:51,960 Speaker 8: it was there when he was there, like he has 1566 01:26:52,439 --> 01:26:55,360 Speaker 8: the ability to stop that. If that's something that has 1567 01:26:55,479 --> 01:26:58,519 Speaker 8: long been a practice for the Wildcats, if it's something 1568 01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:03,479 Speaker 8: that is new, well, these things had to be talked about. 1569 01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:07,480 Speaker 8: It's no like for years. It couldn't have gone unspoken. 1570 01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:09,880 Speaker 8: If you now have former players talking about it. It 1571 01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:12,720 Speaker 8: had to leak out and others hear about it. Note 1572 01:27:13,080 --> 01:27:16,400 Speaker 8: something had to come out for the student paper to 1573 01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:19,400 Speaker 8: begin to investigate or whatever. And so like when you're 1574 01:27:19,439 --> 01:27:22,360 Speaker 8: the head coach, like a lot of times those things 1575 01:27:22,640 --> 01:27:23,599 Speaker 8: trickle up here. 1576 01:27:23,800 --> 01:27:26,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, and those things build up as well. And that 1577 01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:30,840 Speaker 1: was my thought on it. Like hard knocks, love it 1578 01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:33,479 Speaker 1: or hate it, I do enjoy it. Some are better 1579 01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:37,160 Speaker 1: than others. Hard Knocks always shows the rookie singing bits. 1580 01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:40,000 Speaker 8: I mean, yeah, that but that's that's not that's not 1581 01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:42,479 Speaker 8: I mean coaches like people have people have gotten away 1582 01:27:42,520 --> 01:27:44,920 Speaker 8: from the other stuff. Like, so as a rookie, you 1583 01:27:45,080 --> 01:27:47,720 Speaker 8: have the the singing, the rookie show, which is what 1584 01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:51,120 Speaker 8: they call Lynt training camp where rookies will perform various things. 1585 01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:56,240 Speaker 8: You'll have the rookie dinner, which can be expensive, but 1586 01:27:56,560 --> 01:27:58,400 Speaker 8: a lot of times if you have a good coach, 1587 01:27:58,439 --> 01:28:02,280 Speaker 8: they say, hey, man, you guys are not going damage 1588 01:28:02,280 --> 01:28:04,559 Speaker 8: these gas pockets, like you're not gonna do dumb stuff 1589 01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:07,599 Speaker 8: and order all this stuff that puts them in tremendous 1590 01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:09,680 Speaker 8: dead like so you can cut that off. And then 1591 01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:14,200 Speaker 8: you may have a rookie take the position group's pads, 1592 01:28:14,280 --> 01:28:17,840 Speaker 8: meaning you and I wie receivers. I'm the rookie. I 1593 01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:20,639 Speaker 8: grab your pads and the rest of the veterans paths 1594 01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:23,040 Speaker 8: and I'll take them into the locker room. But they've 1595 01:28:23,080 --> 01:28:25,120 Speaker 8: gotten away from the other things where they would take 1596 01:28:25,160 --> 01:28:27,360 Speaker 8: people to the goal post and put baby powder and 1597 01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:30,559 Speaker 8: icye hide and tiger mom and like they're not doing 1598 01:28:30,680 --> 01:28:33,920 Speaker 8: that like that we've moved beyond that part of the 1599 01:28:33,960 --> 01:28:34,799 Speaker 8: football culture. 1600 01:28:34,960 --> 01:28:37,160 Speaker 1: I don't think and I don't even think that that 1601 01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:39,840 Speaker 1: is I don't think that the singing in front of 1602 01:28:39,920 --> 01:28:42,960 Speaker 1: the group is hazing, Like it's just it's part of 1603 01:28:43,080 --> 01:28:48,160 Speaker 1: the rookie ritual. There's you know, hazing does have power 1604 01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:52,280 Speaker 1: that comes with the phrase. And I you know, I 1605 01:28:52,439 --> 01:28:54,960 Speaker 1: was trying to use the example of I think at 1606 01:28:55,080 --> 01:28:58,960 Speaker 1: I think at some point when you're when when you 1607 01:28:59,160 --> 01:29:02,040 Speaker 1: have these things that go on, what tends to happen 1608 01:29:02,200 --> 01:29:04,720 Speaker 1: is one group is like, oh, you thought that was bad, 1609 01:29:04,720 --> 01:29:06,880 Speaker 1: wait till we crank it up a notch one year, 1610 01:29:07,360 --> 01:29:09,160 Speaker 1: and then guess what, we're gonna do it the next year. 1611 01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:11,160 Speaker 1: And then they're like, well, we're gonna and all of 1612 01:29:11,160 --> 01:29:15,400 Speaker 1: a sudden, now you're seventy years removed and it's maybe 1613 01:29:15,560 --> 01:29:20,960 Speaker 1: moved on from something that it never ever intended to be. Yes, yeah, 1614 01:29:20,960 --> 01:29:22,720 Speaker 1: And so I think, like, you know, I think like, 1615 01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:24,920 Speaker 1: like that's a part of it as well. And that's 1616 01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:27,519 Speaker 1: why I started out saying. What I did is I 1617 01:29:27,640 --> 01:29:29,519 Speaker 1: don't know where you draw the line, like I use 1618 01:29:29,560 --> 01:29:31,320 Speaker 1: the thing like, okay, let's just say you run into 1619 01:29:31,920 --> 01:29:33,920 Speaker 1: you know, your Northwestern you're in Evanston, you're on the 1620 01:29:33,960 --> 01:29:37,240 Speaker 1: shores of Lake Michigan. You do a midnight run into 1621 01:29:37,320 --> 01:29:39,720 Speaker 1: Lake Michigan. All right, all freshmen, gotta you know, do 1622 01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:42,920 Speaker 1: this or whatever. Then the next year you're saying, and 1623 01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:44,800 Speaker 1: by the way, this is not a part of the allegations. 1624 01:29:45,040 --> 01:29:46,800 Speaker 1: But next year you're saying, all right, you guys aren't 1625 01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:49,559 Speaker 1: doing it with any clothes on, you know, like obviously 1626 01:29:49,560 --> 01:29:51,360 Speaker 1: you're like wait, wait, wait a second, what And then 1627 01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:54,200 Speaker 1: the next you know, like it keeps going yes, yes, 1628 01:29:54,320 --> 01:29:56,519 Speaker 1: and you're like, you know, it's so far from just 1629 01:29:56,680 --> 01:29:59,360 Speaker 1: maybe what was thought to be. Hey, this is just 1630 01:29:59,479 --> 01:30:01,800 Speaker 1: you know something, it's the you know, the freshman die 1631 01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:05,680 Speaker 1: or whatever it is. But that's where I think, And 1632 01:30:05,760 --> 01:30:07,479 Speaker 1: I don't know how it ever got to the alley, 1633 01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:10,519 Speaker 1: you know, to the point where these allegations were. But 1634 01:30:10,640 --> 01:30:13,479 Speaker 1: in the end, it is Pat Fitzgerald's program. I don't 1635 01:30:13,520 --> 01:30:16,280 Speaker 1: think he should lose his job over this, but I 1636 01:30:16,479 --> 01:30:20,160 Speaker 1: just there you have to be suspended for at least 1637 01:30:20,280 --> 01:30:24,120 Speaker 1: some sort of you know, period of time when it 1638 01:30:24,160 --> 01:30:29,240 Speaker 1: comes to actual games, because ignorance is not an excuse. 1639 01:30:29,640 --> 01:30:31,760 Speaker 1: It's not an excuse, and he has to do it. 1640 01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:37,040 Speaker 8: I'm sure they will revisit the punishment depending on the 1641 01:30:37,200 --> 01:30:40,679 Speaker 8: uproar from the college football community now that these things 1642 01:30:40,720 --> 01:30:44,439 Speaker 8: have come to light. But if you're Northwestern on the 1643 01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:46,240 Speaker 8: front end, they should have been aggressive to kind of 1644 01:30:46,280 --> 01:30:49,000 Speaker 8: head this off in terms of like his punishment and 1645 01:30:49,120 --> 01:30:53,360 Speaker 8: those things. And you now talk about the recommendations and 1646 01:30:53,400 --> 01:30:56,200 Speaker 8: the things that they're doing in terms of having locker 1647 01:30:56,320 --> 01:30:59,559 Speaker 8: room oversight, having someone that doesn't report to Pat Fitzgerald 1648 01:30:59,600 --> 01:31:02,760 Speaker 8: of a report to administration directly based on what they 1649 01:31:02,880 --> 01:31:06,639 Speaker 8: see in those things. But you know, for a long time, 1650 01:31:07,200 --> 01:31:10,719 Speaker 8: PAPIs Gerro has been a look, super respective, well respected 1651 01:31:10,760 --> 01:31:13,320 Speaker 8: in the college football community. People talk about him, They 1652 01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:15,599 Speaker 8: rave about the job that he's done at Northwestern over 1653 01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:18,240 Speaker 8: the years. They've raved about the culture that they have 1654 01:31:18,720 --> 01:31:22,640 Speaker 8: within the Wildcats. This certainly puts a stain on that, 1655 01:31:23,080 --> 01:31:24,960 Speaker 8: and it's something that he'll have to rectify from the 1656 01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:25,479 Speaker 8: bottom up. 1657 01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:29,160 Speaker 1: He's Bucky Brooks.

So this is not early 1714 01:34:20,400 --> 01:34:23,200 Speaker 1: for me in prepping for our draft. I know that 1715 01:34:24,080 --> 01:34:26,479 Speaker 1: it's going to pick up really around mid August or so, 1716 01:34:26,680 --> 01:34:28,760 Speaker 1: but I think it's good to start thinking of this 1717 01:34:28,840 --> 01:34:30,120 Speaker 1: time of year. So we're glad to have you on. 1718 01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:31,759 Speaker 1: Never too early to talk fantasy. 1719 01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:34,800 Speaker 7: It's never too early to talk fantasy.

Absolutely. I just threw a big draft 1723 01:34:42,720 --> 01:34:48,000 Speaker 7: party yesterday for the infamous scott Fishbowl drafts, and I am, jeez, 1724 01:34:48,439 --> 01:34:51,599 Speaker 7: I'm probably about five or six regular drafts already into 1725 01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:52,120 Speaker 7: the season. 1726 01:34:52,320 --> 01:34:56,599 Speaker 1: Okay, so you're number one overall pick. We're sitting there, 1727 01:34:57,080 --> 01:35:00,400 Speaker 1: is it? Christian McCaffrey and everyone else? Are we at 1728 01:35:00,479 --> 01:35:01,320 Speaker 1: number one overall? 1729 01:35:01,960 --> 01:35:04,840 Speaker 7: Oh? She should we drum roll it here because this 1730 01:35:05,040 --> 01:35:07,920 Speaker 7: is actually this kind of goes against the usual group think. 1731 01:35:08,040 --> 01:35:12,719 Speaker 7: But my one one overall is nobody better than Jamar Chase. Wow. 1732 01:35:13,920 --> 01:35:17,559 Speaker 7: Super stoked about this? Guy you know, and listen everybody, 1733 01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:20,200 Speaker 7: you know, everybody wants to be in on Justin Jefferson. 1734 01:35:20,280 --> 01:35:22,800 Speaker 7: I told you Jefferson was the one one last year. 1735 01:35:23,280 --> 01:35:25,880 Speaker 7: I always want the guy who's on his way up. 1736 01:35:25,960 --> 01:35:28,560 Speaker 7: And you know what, Jefferson, as great as he is, 1737 01:35:29,080 --> 01:35:31,920 Speaker 7: he loses feeling you still have. You know, you've got 1738 01:35:31,960 --> 01:35:34,280 Speaker 7: a rookie and Jordan Addison who you know we're not 1739 01:35:34,439 --> 01:35:37,680 Speaker 7: sure about. kJ Osborne is there. So you know, while 1740 01:35:37,720 --> 01:35:41,000 Speaker 7: Jefferson is super talented, you know that he's going to 1741 01:35:41,080 --> 01:35:43,040 Speaker 7: be getting all the top corners. He's going to be 1742 01:35:43,080 --> 01:35:46,679 Speaker 7: getting all the trouble. Now Jamar Chase, he's got t Higgins, 1743 01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:49,160 Speaker 7: he's got Tyler Boyd, He's got guys who are going 1744 01:35:49,200 --> 01:35:53,000 Speaker 7: to draw coverage away from him. I see an explosive 1745 01:35:53,160 --> 01:35:56,080 Speaker 7: year out of him and the Bengals who feel like 1746 01:35:56,280 --> 01:35:58,920 Speaker 7: they should be in the super Bowl this year and 1747 01:35:59,040 --> 01:36:02,040 Speaker 7: every year. So I love that swag and give me 1748 01:36:02,160 --> 01:36:03,360 Speaker 7: Jamar Chase all day. 1749 01:36:03,720 --> 01:36:05,679 Speaker 8: Well, if you're talking about Jamar Chase being a number 1750 01:36:05,680 --> 01:36:07,759 Speaker 8: one wide receiver, what does that mean for his quarterback 1751 01:36:07,840 --> 01:36:10,519 Speaker 8: Joe Burrow? Since he's going to be the beneficiator of 1752 01:36:10,600 --> 01:36:12,880 Speaker 8: Jamar Chase having such a phenomenal season. 1753 01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:16,120 Speaker 7: I've always been a big fan of Joe Burrow. He's 1754 01:36:16,160 --> 01:36:19,240 Speaker 7: the top five QB for me. You know, the differences 1755 01:36:19,320 --> 01:36:22,400 Speaker 7: though in fantasy is obviously the elite level that you 1756 01:36:22,520 --> 01:36:26,280 Speaker 7: get out of Jamar Chase gives you that distinct advantage 1757 01:36:26,320 --> 01:36:29,519 Speaker 7: at the wide receiver position. As great as Joe Burrow is, 1758 01:36:30,479 --> 01:36:32,320 Speaker 7: you know, are we saying that he's going to be 1759 01:36:32,439 --> 01:36:36,040 Speaker 7: too far off from Saint Justin Herbert or any of 1760 01:36:36,120 --> 01:36:38,720 Speaker 7: these other you know, pure pocket passers who can kind 1761 01:36:38,760 --> 01:36:42,040 Speaker 7: of sit in there and just sling the rock. You know, 1762 01:36:42,439 --> 01:36:46,160 Speaker 7: you look at the differential points between the number five 1763 01:36:46,560 --> 01:36:50,559 Speaker 7: overall quarterback and the number ten overall quarterback, and it's 1764 01:36:50,720 --> 01:36:54,080 Speaker 7: not as distinct a difference as it is when you're 1765 01:36:54,120 --> 01:36:56,880 Speaker 7: looking at wide receivers like Jamar Chase. 1766 01:36:57,479 --> 01:36:59,920 Speaker 1: Howard Bender joining us here on Fox Sports Radio Talk 1767 01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:03,320 Speaker 1: looking fantasy football these Bucky Brooks. I'm Dan by Ergant 1768 01:37:03,360 --> 01:37:07,559 Speaker 1: Howard on Twitter at a Rodo buzz guy. Get Bucky 1769 01:37:07,640 --> 01:37:09,800 Speaker 1: on Twitter at Bucky Brooks. Find me on Twitter at 1770 01:37:09,920 --> 01:37:13,000 Speaker 1: Dan Byer on Fox. Let's talk a little bit more 1771 01:37:13,040 --> 01:37:16,759 Speaker 1: about those wide receivers rookie wise, you mentioned Jordan Addison, 1772 01:37:17,200 --> 01:37:20,160 Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and Jigma is in Seattle. You know, the 1773 01:37:20,200 --> 01:37:22,640 Speaker 1: people who drafted Jamar Chase is a rookie maybe in 1774 01:37:22,720 --> 01:37:26,000 Speaker 1: dynasty leagues are reaping the benefits of it. Are there 1775 01:37:26,040 --> 01:37:29,080 Speaker 1: any rookie wide receivers that you really like entering this 1776 01:37:29,240 --> 01:37:31,080 Speaker 1: year that guys can get good value on? 1777 01:37:32,479 --> 01:37:34,679 Speaker 7: What if you're looking If you're looking for good value, 1778 01:37:34,720 --> 01:37:36,640 Speaker 7: then you've got to go deeper. You can't. You know, 1779 01:37:36,800 --> 01:37:38,920 Speaker 7: you're not gonna get good value out of a Jackson 1780 01:37:39,000 --> 01:37:41,920 Speaker 7: Smith and Ajigba being you know, buried on the on 1781 01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:45,519 Speaker 7: the depth chart behind Lockett and Metcalf. You're not even 1782 01:37:45,560 --> 01:37:47,960 Speaker 7: gonna get good value on a guy like Jordan Addison 1783 01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:52,240 Speaker 7: because everybody just assumes that his h that Adam Steelen's 1784 01:37:52,280 --> 01:37:54,639 Speaker 7: targets are going to go right to him. You want 1785 01:37:54,680 --> 01:37:57,280 Speaker 7: to dig a little bit deeper there in that crew. 1786 01:37:57,800 --> 01:38:00,800 Speaker 7: For me, it's really kind of funny because my number 1787 01:38:00,840 --> 01:38:04,080 Speaker 7: one rookie wide receiver is the guy that everybody hates 1788 01:38:04,160 --> 01:38:07,080 Speaker 7: on the most in the preseason. You know, nobody was 1789 01:38:07,160 --> 01:38:10,360 Speaker 7: drafting Justin Jefferson before his rookie year. He was a 1790 01:38:10,479 --> 01:38:14,120 Speaker 7: fourteenth round pick. Then Jamar Chase couldn't catch a football 1791 01:38:14,160 --> 01:38:16,320 Speaker 7: because it didn't have a white stripe on it, so 1792 01:38:16,479 --> 01:38:19,720 Speaker 7: nobody drafted him. I did, And then you know, you 1793 01:38:19,800 --> 01:38:23,959 Speaker 7: look at last year Christian Watson. Aaron Rodgers doesn't like rookies. 1794 01:38:24,080 --> 01:38:27,080 Speaker 7: He's got that hamstring injury, and that dude was money 1795 01:38:27,120 --> 01:38:29,240 Speaker 7: in the bank when you're talking about the second half. 1796 01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:33,559 Speaker 7: So I'm looking for guys like Rashie Rice to develop 1797 01:38:33,640 --> 01:38:38,040 Speaker 7: with Patrick Mahomes because there is no number one wide 1798 01:38:38,080 --> 01:38:41,040 Speaker 7: receiver over there. It's Travis Kelcey and then a couple 1799 01:38:41,120 --> 01:38:43,360 Speaker 7: of guys. And then I just saw a report that 1800 01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:47,840 Speaker 7: Jalen Hyatt is running with the threes for the New 1801 01:38:47,960 --> 01:38:50,479 Speaker 7: York Giants, another team that doesn't have a number one 1802 01:38:50,560 --> 01:38:54,200 Speaker 7: wide receiver. So I'm picking those guys in like the thirteenth, 1803 01:38:54,280 --> 01:38:56,920 Speaker 7: fourteenth round, and all you need is want of them 1804 01:38:57,000 --> 01:38:59,280 Speaker 7: to pop. And you're in the business. 1805 01:39:00,479 --> 01:39:03,000 Speaker 8: In thinking about like trying to find gas to pop. 1806 01:39:03,760 --> 01:39:06,760 Speaker 8: Who is the running back that we're not considering that 1807 01:39:06,880 --> 01:39:08,400 Speaker 8: should be first on our radar? 1808 01:39:10,439 --> 01:39:12,599 Speaker 7: The running back that work well, you know, I mean 1809 01:39:12,640 --> 01:39:14,920 Speaker 7: the problem with the running back position right now is 1810 01:39:14,920 --> 01:39:17,960 Speaker 7: you're dealing with so many shared backfields and you're dealing 1811 01:39:18,040 --> 01:39:20,759 Speaker 7: with so many guys. You know, I think, once again, 1812 01:39:21,360 --> 01:39:24,599 Speaker 7: people are down on Josh Jacobs. I'm not really sure why. 1813 01:39:24,720 --> 01:39:26,720 Speaker 7: I mean, the dude's going to play on the franchise 1814 01:39:26,840 --> 01:39:29,960 Speaker 7: tag eventually this year, and they're just going to run 1815 01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:32,960 Speaker 7: him into the ground. Miles Sanders not getting a lot 1816 01:39:33,040 --> 01:39:37,360 Speaker 7: of credit for what he did last year. Everybody's downgrading 1817 01:39:37,520 --> 01:39:40,920 Speaker 7: him because of that Carolina offensive line, and I'm like, 1818 01:39:41,120 --> 01:39:44,320 Speaker 7: that offensive line isn't too far behind where the Eagles 1819 01:39:44,360 --> 01:39:47,680 Speaker 7: were as far as run blocking goes. So you know, 1820 01:39:47,760 --> 01:39:50,160 Speaker 7: I'm looking for these guys who are kind of they've 1821 01:39:50,200 --> 01:39:53,479 Speaker 7: they've fallen out of the top ten and running backs 1822 01:39:53,720 --> 01:39:56,200 Speaker 7: in a lot of places, and I think that's really 1823 01:39:56,280 --> 01:39:59,160 Speaker 7: what you're looking for. You're looking for as much opportunity 1824 01:39:59,280 --> 01:40:02,920 Speaker 7: for carries as possible. We can't always, you know, rely 1825 01:40:03,120 --> 01:40:06,880 Speaker 7: on Bijon Robinson and Arthur Smith giving him seven hundred carries. 1826 01:40:07,479 --> 01:40:10,599 Speaker 7: So you gotta you gotta look down, and you gotta 1827 01:40:10,840 --> 01:40:14,400 Speaker 7: you always gotta go where people are ignoring quality play. 1828 01:40:14,760 --> 01:40:17,200 Speaker 1: It was actually you're reading my mind, Howard Bender joining 1829 01:40:17,240 --> 01:40:19,400 Speaker 1: us here on Fox Sports Radio. A couple more for you, 1830 01:40:19,560 --> 01:40:21,479 Speaker 1: But where do you have Bjon Because a lot of 1831 01:40:21,520 --> 01:40:24,519 Speaker 1: people are are really high I told Mike last week 1832 01:40:24,560 --> 01:40:27,439 Speaker 1: on our program that I just felt I felt that 1833 01:40:27,560 --> 01:40:29,559 Speaker 1: Bjon was one of the three guys you could take 1834 01:40:29,680 --> 01:40:33,160 Speaker 1: number one overall. And are you that high on Bjeon 1835 01:40:33,320 --> 01:40:36,760 Speaker 1: Robinson or or or are you cooler on him than 1836 01:40:36,800 --> 01:40:37,040 Speaker 1: I am? 1837 01:40:37,760 --> 01:40:41,000 Speaker 7: No, I'm actually I'm quite hot on Bijon Robinson. Listen, 1838 01:40:41,200 --> 01:40:44,360 Speaker 7: I wish I loved anything as much as Arthur Smith 1839 01:40:44,439 --> 01:40:47,439 Speaker 7: loves to run the football. I mean, that's just I mean, 1840 01:40:47,479 --> 01:40:49,920 Speaker 7: that's just that's you look at that and you say, 1841 01:40:50,040 --> 01:40:52,080 Speaker 7: this is a kid who you know, they took him 1842 01:40:52,160 --> 01:40:55,960 Speaker 7: eighth overall, where a lot of people weren't really thinking 1843 01:40:56,080 --> 01:40:58,040 Speaker 7: that that they were gonna make that move because of 1844 01:40:58,080 --> 01:41:01,280 Speaker 7: the way Tyler Aljeer performed in the second half of 1845 01:41:01,439 --> 01:41:05,160 Speaker 7: last season. Arthur Smith's like, yes, yes, yes, gimme, gimme, gimme. 1846 01:41:05,600 --> 01:41:08,960 Speaker 7: So he's gonna utilize him. But you know, when you 1847 01:41:09,200 --> 01:41:13,400 Speaker 7: draft Bijon nice and high, always remember you take Tyler 1848 01:41:13,520 --> 01:41:17,280 Speaker 7: Aljier and you handcuff your running backs to make sure 1849 01:41:17,360 --> 01:41:21,479 Speaker 7: that in case anything does happen, you're investing in the system, 1850 01:41:21,560 --> 01:41:25,000 Speaker 7: you're investing in a coach who loves to run, so 1851 01:41:25,240 --> 01:41:27,479 Speaker 7: you always want to make sure that you've got a 1852 01:41:27,560 --> 01:41:28,439 Speaker 7: piece of that action. 1853 01:41:29,280 --> 01:41:31,360 Speaker 1: You know, on Twitter at roto buzz guy Howard Bender 1854 01:41:31,439 --> 01:41:31,760 Speaker 1: joining us. 1855 01:41:31,880 --> 01:41:34,120 Speaker 8: I had a quick question about Justin Herbert because I'm 1856 01:41:34,160 --> 01:41:38,240 Speaker 8: so fascinated by the Chargers and what Kellen Moore is 1857 01:41:38,280 --> 01:41:40,439 Speaker 8: going to do on that offense. Do you expect Justin 1858 01:41:40,560 --> 01:41:43,200 Speaker 8: Herbert and his playmakers around him to have a big 1859 01:41:43,320 --> 01:41:45,600 Speaker 8: jump because they appear to be ready to pass and 1860 01:41:45,640 --> 01:41:46,400 Speaker 8: pass every now. 1861 01:41:46,960 --> 01:41:47,880 Speaker 6: Bucky, he better be. 1862 01:41:48,120 --> 01:41:50,840 Speaker 7: I'm telling you man it because I have been so 1863 01:41:51,080 --> 01:41:53,280 Speaker 7: in on the Chargers and I do like the move 1864 01:41:53,680 --> 01:41:56,479 Speaker 7: from Joe Lombardi to Kellen Moore. I think that we 1865 01:41:56,600 --> 01:41:58,840 Speaker 7: are in a really nice system here. We're in a 1866 01:41:59,040 --> 01:42:02,040 Speaker 7: very very good spot. I think Justin Herbert is going 1867 01:42:02,120 --> 01:42:05,280 Speaker 7: to sling the rock tons and tons. I mean, listen, 1868 01:42:05,680 --> 01:42:08,840 Speaker 7: he loves Keenan Allen, he loves Mike Williams for that 1869 01:42:09,000 --> 01:42:12,360 Speaker 7: vertical aspect. He's got Gerald Everett as a pass catching 1870 01:42:12,479 --> 01:42:15,759 Speaker 7: tight end. They brought in Quinton Johnston, who is gonna 1871 01:42:15,800 --> 01:42:19,640 Speaker 7: end up being that wide receiver three for them. I 1872 01:42:20,040 --> 01:42:22,720 Speaker 7: think that there is a ton of things to love 1873 01:42:23,479 --> 01:42:25,760 Speaker 7: as far as this offensive system goes, and I think 1874 01:42:25,880 --> 01:42:28,439 Speaker 7: Kellen Moore is really he's going to bring out in 1875 01:42:28,680 --> 01:42:32,800 Speaker 7: Justin Herbert. I think what we thought Joe Lombardi was 1876 01:42:32,880 --> 01:42:36,360 Speaker 7: going to do, but I'm more confident in more system 1877 01:42:37,240 --> 01:42:39,960 Speaker 7: fitting Justin Herbert a lot better. 1878 01:42:40,160 --> 01:42:41,880 Speaker 1: Read him in the New York Post.

Why we couldn't get these notes in? 1962 01:47:24,600 --> 01:47:28,400 Speaker 1: I felt so guilty, like even just following up, I 1963 01:47:28,640 --> 01:47:30,920 Speaker 1: had to stop it because I couldn't. I couldn't let 1964 01:47:30,960 --> 01:47:33,880 Speaker 1: it go any further. That's probably you're too good of 1965 01:47:33,960 --> 01:47:37,080 Speaker 1: a guy. It was, as you heard, how many notes 1966 01:47:37,120 --> 01:47:37,479 Speaker 1: did you have? 1967 01:47:37,840 --> 01:47:37,960 Speaker 6: Oh? 1968 01:47:38,080 --> 01:47:41,200 Speaker 2: I had a whole I had a whole timeline.

I had Uh Stefanos's girlfriend, who 1972 01:47:58,880 --> 01:48:04,040 Speaker 2: is also a tennis player. His girlfriend, Paula Badosa, posting 1973 01:48:04,120 --> 01:48:06,920 Speaker 2: on Instagram a picture of herself with one of the 1974 01:48:07,120 --> 01:48:11,479 Speaker 2: players that beat them, Luca van ash kissing him, saying, 1975 01:48:11,640 --> 01:48:16,720 Speaker 2: I only associate myself with winners. And we were all 1976 01:48:16,840 --> 01:48:19,000 Speaker 2: going to be crowded around the TV here watching the 1977 01:48:19,080 --> 01:48:21,280 Speaker 2: final point. We were comparing it to the miracle on 1978 01:48:21,520 --> 01:48:23,080 Speaker 2: ice that we were saying it was the number one 1979 01:48:23,120 --> 01:48:26,000 Speaker 2: trending topic in the world. But you did an admirable 1980 01:48:26,200 --> 01:48:29,920 Speaker 2: job with making as you turned at Bucky a word 1981 01:48:30,080 --> 01:48:33,400 Speaker 2: salad in response, I thought it. 1982 01:48:33,439 --> 01:48:35,639 Speaker 1: Was very good. Well, I mean it had to play 1983 01:48:35,680 --> 01:48:39,080 Speaker 1: a part. I mean, absolutely, bucket. 1984 01:48:39,160 --> 01:48:43,040 Speaker 2: You could be like the spokesperson for a politician with 1985 01:48:43,160 --> 01:48:46,640 Speaker 2: spinning like that for example. So yeah, so you know, 1986 01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:47,360 Speaker 2: uh huh. 1987 01:48:47,560 --> 01:48:50,519 Speaker 8: When I was playing, I spent I spent a week 1988 01:48:50,760 --> 01:48:53,519 Speaker 8: or I spent a few days working with the governor 1989 01:48:53,520 --> 01:48:55,800 Speaker 8: of North Carolina at the time, Governor Hunt. 1990 01:48:56,280 --> 01:49:03,040 Speaker 1: So maybe maybe I learned some word salad. This happened 1991 01:49:03,040 --> 01:49:06,280 Speaker 1: to me once. This is a couple of years ago. 1992 01:49:07,680 --> 01:49:12,000 Speaker 1: Whenever it was zero, Am I pronouncing it correctly? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 1993 01:49:12,280 --> 01:49:14,840 Speaker 1: He was coordinator, Yeah he would, And this was when 1994 01:49:14,840 --> 01:49:19,000 Speaker 1: he was going from as the Rams secondary coach to 1995 01:49:19,400 --> 01:49:23,519 Speaker 1: Denver as their defensive coordinator, and I was doing it 1996 01:49:23,640 --> 01:49:25,920 Speaker 1: was a hit during Super Bowl week, and I told 1997 01:49:25,920 --> 01:49:28,400 Speaker 1: the producer of the show, I go just so the hosts, No, 1998 01:49:28,520 --> 01:49:31,240 Speaker 1: the guys, no, I don't. I don't cover the Rams. 1999 01:49:31,320 --> 01:49:33,479 Speaker 1: I don't follow the Rams. We're based on We're a 2000 01:49:33,600 --> 01:49:36,799 Speaker 1: national network. That is not my this's not my daily stuff. 2001 01:49:37,320 --> 01:49:40,240 Speaker 1: And obviously it was the Rams Bengal super Bowl, and 2002 01:49:40,360 --> 01:49:43,719 Speaker 1: I go, but I can't give you any insight in depth. 2003 01:49:44,200 --> 01:49:46,680 Speaker 1: And they asked me about at last question, like Dan, 2004 01:49:46,760 --> 01:49:49,519 Speaker 1: before we let you go, last question, I had no 2005 01:49:49,640 --> 01:49:53,760 Speaker 1: idea what to say. I started to go down the 2006 01:49:53,920 --> 01:49:57,840 Speaker 1: road of that word salad, and I was putting with 2007 01:49:58,000 --> 01:50:03,799 Speaker 1: the greens. I was putting peanut butter, I was putting milk. 2008 01:50:04,680 --> 01:50:07,880 Speaker 1: It was going to be a disgusting word salad. And 2009 01:50:08,040 --> 01:50:11,519 Speaker 1: I just said, I finally just tapped out, said, guys, 2010 01:50:11,680 --> 01:50:13,679 Speaker 1: I don't cover them that much. I wish I could 2011 01:50:13,680 --> 01:50:15,560 Speaker 1: give you a good answer, but I couldn't do it 2012 01:50:15,840 --> 01:50:16,519 Speaker 1: too good a guy. 2013 01:50:16,800 --> 01:50:19,680 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what here, here's an example, Bucky. I'm 2014 01:50:19,720 --> 01:50:23,920 Speaker 2: going to put your word salad skills to another test. Oh, Guss, Bucky, 2015 01:50:24,080 --> 01:50:28,760 Speaker 2: your take on the Winnipeg Jets trading pier Luke Dubois 2016 01:50:29,120 --> 01:50:32,960 Speaker 2: to the La Kings for Gabriel Vilardi, alex Aya Fallo, 2017 01:50:33,120 --> 01:50:38,400 Speaker 2: and Rasmus Kupari and then Dubois obviously signing an eight year, 2018 01:50:38,640 --> 01:50:42,000 Speaker 2: sixty eight million dollar contract with Los Angeles. I mean 2019 01:50:42,040 --> 01:50:44,640 Speaker 2: we've been talking about it all show and the ramifications 2020 01:50:44,680 --> 01:50:45,840 Speaker 2: for the Kings and the Jets. 2021 01:50:45,880 --> 01:50:48,400 Speaker 8: Your thoughts, well, look, it's there's a tremendous loss for 2022 01:50:48,439 --> 01:50:50,640 Speaker 8: the Winnipeg Jets. I mean, he's he's one of the 2023 01:50:51,160 --> 01:50:54,040 Speaker 8: one of their finest players. But then for the Kings, 2024 01:50:54,120 --> 01:50:56,080 Speaker 8: it's such a good get to not only get a 2025 01:50:56,160 --> 01:50:59,800 Speaker 8: player of that caliber, but didn't design an immediate extension 2026 01:51:00,200 --> 01:51:03,040 Speaker 8: to now make him a pillow of the franchise. Just 2027 01:51:03,160 --> 01:51:06,599 Speaker 8: great work by that front office to ensure that they 2028 01:51:06,720 --> 01:51:09,200 Speaker 8: have a foundational piece to the place. 2029 01:51:09,240 --> 01:51:11,560 Speaker 1: Because what is the message sent to others in that 2030 01:51:11,680 --> 01:51:14,200 Speaker 1: King's organization with this move, Well, I mean what it 2031 01:51:14,240 --> 01:51:15,719 Speaker 1: does is it provides security. 2032 01:51:15,760 --> 01:51:18,160 Speaker 8: It's saying that they will take care of those that 2033 01:51:18,240 --> 01:51:22,200 Speaker 8: they deem to be uh fixtures to their franchise. 2034 01:51:22,320 --> 01:51:25,080 Speaker 1: And so I applaud this. If you're an Elie. 2035 01:51:24,920 --> 01:51:26,720 Speaker 8: Kings fan, today is a day to stand up to 2036 01:51:26,800 --> 01:51:30,840 Speaker 8: celebrate you're one step closer to hoisting the cup again. 2037 01:51:31,000 --> 01:51:34,000 Speaker 1: Any any any issue with this trade actually happening like 2038 01:51:34,160 --> 01:51:36,320 Speaker 1: two or three weeks ago, like even though we're talking 2039 01:51:36,360 --> 01:51:37,800 Speaker 1: about it now, is there any Oh? 2040 01:51:37,880 --> 01:51:39,360 Speaker 8: No, I mean, look it was such a I mean 2041 01:51:39,479 --> 01:51:43,320 Speaker 8: such a pivotal trade. I mean just look just think 2042 01:51:43,360 --> 01:51:45,760 Speaker 8: about how the Kings have played in the aftermath or 2043 01:51:45,960 --> 01:51:49,400 Speaker 8: this is something that should propelled him to greatness. You 2044 01:51:49,600 --> 01:51:52,840 Speaker 8: now have a centerpiece of the franchise and he's locked 2045 01:51:52,880 --> 01:51:54,840 Speaker 8: long term.

The NBA Cup is here for the winner 2202 01:59:33,760 --> 01:59:38,720 Speaker 1: of the NBA's midseason tournament. Are you a fan of 2203 01:59:38,920 --> 01:59:42,400 Speaker 1: the mid season tournament in the NBA. I actually I 2204 01:59:42,560 --> 01:59:44,840 Speaker 1: am a big fan of it. I think is great. 2205 01:59:45,080 --> 01:59:48,080 Speaker 1: It will ask some excitement, it'll break up the millenium. 2206 01:59:48,480 --> 01:59:51,920 Speaker 1: Is this some of the the monotony, The monotony of 2207 01:59:53,280 --> 01:59:55,760 Speaker 1: said has gotten to be out of control. 2208 01:59:56,280 --> 01:59:58,800 Speaker 8: Just just give us something to do. And what I 2209 01:59:58,920 --> 02:00:01,320 Speaker 8: really like about it I'm a big fan. I don't 2210 02:00:01,320 --> 02:00:04,000 Speaker 8: know if you notice. I'm a big fan of rings, trophies, 2211 02:00:04,080 --> 02:00:07,280 Speaker 8: and banners. So now if you're a team that wins 2212 02:00:07,320 --> 02:00:09,520 Speaker 8: this n season tournament, you can call yourself the champ 2213 02:00:10,000 --> 02:00:12,400 Speaker 8: and so now you can have a ceremony. You can 2214 02:00:12,560 --> 02:00:14,680 Speaker 8: have like I'll just like the ring ceremony, but you 2215 02:00:14,720 --> 02:00:17,200 Speaker 8: can do it in season to see the banner go 2216 02:00:17,400 --> 02:00:20,040 Speaker 8: up in there and everyone applaud and you give out 2217 02:00:20,080 --> 02:00:21,600 Speaker 8: like the little replica rings and all that. 2218 02:00:21,960 --> 02:00:22,360 Speaker 6: I like this. 2219 02:00:22,640 --> 02:00:25,960 Speaker 1: I think teams will be mocked if they are celebrating 2220 02:00:26,040 --> 02:00:31,600 Speaker 1: this early on. Why because it is not the NBA title. 2221 02:00:32,320 --> 02:00:37,000 Speaker 1: For example, if Lebron James and the Lakers win the 2222 02:00:37,200 --> 02:00:41,760 Speaker 1: NBA Cup come December, it will be a field day 2223 02:00:42,440 --> 02:00:45,640 Speaker 1: on Yes, with them winning. I know you're looking at 2224 02:00:45,680 --> 02:00:50,320 Speaker 1: me like I am crazy. The jokes, the memes to 2225 02:00:50,600 --> 02:00:56,280 Speaker 1: celebrate something that is something that Jordan never did. He wins. 2226 02:00:56,320 --> 02:00:57,960 Speaker 1: It just something that Jordan has never been able to 2227 02:00:58,040 --> 02:00:58,480 Speaker 1: do well. 2228 02:01:00,840 --> 02:01:05,640 Speaker 8: Undef he's undefeated. He would be undefeated in the Cup series. 2229 02:01:06,320 --> 02:01:12,040 Speaker 1: It I I think it's I am not completely against 2230 02:01:12,120 --> 02:01:14,640 Speaker 1: the idea. I just feel that I am I am 2231 02:01:14,800 --> 02:01:21,880 Speaker 1: grounded and reasonable to think that this will not be 2232 02:01:22,800 --> 02:01:26,400 Speaker 1: in time maybe well maybe maybe even during the the 2233 02:01:26,720 --> 02:01:29,880 Speaker 1: final four that they have in Las Vegas, we say, wow, 2234 02:01:29,920 --> 02:01:32,520 Speaker 1: this is pretty cool, this is pretty neat. But I 2235 02:01:32,800 --> 02:01:35,040 Speaker 1: I do think that it's going to take a little 2236 02:01:35,080 --> 02:01:38,360 Speaker 1: while for that, especially a when you we see the 2237 02:01:38,440 --> 02:01:41,960 Speaker 1: teams that play through. Do the really top contenders really care? 2238 02:01:43,040 --> 02:01:46,240 Speaker 1: Depends on who wins the title again, if it's Lebron 2239 02:01:46,800 --> 02:01:49,480 Speaker 1: or let's just say it's the Clippers. The Clippers win 2240 02:01:49,600 --> 02:01:54,320 Speaker 1: this title, I mean the Lakers in the seventeen rings 2241 02:01:54,400 --> 02:01:56,400 Speaker 1: and yeah, what is the Lakers and the Clippers in 2242 02:01:56,440 --> 02:01:56,880 Speaker 1: the final? 2243 02:01:57,880 --> 02:01:58,080 Speaker 7: Well? 2244 02:02:00,120 --> 02:02:03,560 Speaker 1: East versus West, Yeast versus West. I thought that it 2245 02:02:03,600 --> 02:02:07,640 Speaker 1: would be split like that still. Richard Jefferson was the 2246 02:02:07,720 --> 02:02:12,280 Speaker 1: keynote speaker in this eleven hundred second video. It was 2247 02:02:12,320 --> 02:02:14,720 Speaker 1: a great video, but it left out some details, some 2248 02:02:14,760 --> 02:02:16,760 Speaker 1: little decent deces. You probably didn't want to get into 2249 02:02:16,800 --> 02:02:19,920 Speaker 1: the details. Why why would we? They should have a 2250 02:02:20,000 --> 02:02:22,240 Speaker 1: sequel to it. It should be, you know, released today 2251 02:02:22,680 --> 02:02:24,920 Speaker 1: part two. The other details that you didn't know because 2252 02:02:25,240 --> 02:02:27,680 Speaker 1: it is a thirty team now all thirty two, all 2253 02:02:27,720 --> 02:02:31,440 Speaker 1: thirty teams are in. They are put into six five 2254 02:02:32,640 --> 02:02:37,240 Speaker 1: team groups and the winners of each group will advance 2255 02:02:37,880 --> 02:02:41,520 Speaker 1: to the eight team bracket with two wild cards, one 2256 02:02:41,560 --> 02:02:43,520 Speaker 1: from the East and one from the West that we 2257 02:02:43,640 --> 02:02:46,760 Speaker 1: don't have clarity on exactly is it going to be 2258 02:02:46,880 --> 02:02:49,040 Speaker 1: from the record of the regular season or is it 2259 02:02:49,120 --> 02:02:53,480 Speaker 1: the best record within that that those group of games 2260 02:02:53,560 --> 02:02:55,720 Speaker 1: that they played. But then that's how you will get 2261 02:02:55,760 --> 02:02:57,720 Speaker 1: your eight and then the final four will end up 2262 02:02:57,760 --> 02:03:00,840 Speaker 1: being played in Las Vegas. You're also likely going to 2263 02:03:00,880 --> 02:03:04,280 Speaker 1: have a delayed schedule because you may have to play 2264 02:03:04,440 --> 02:03:07,480 Speaker 1: these Western Conference teams and then you wouldn't have to 2265 02:03:07,480 --> 02:03:08,960 Speaker 1: play them in the second half of the year. So 2266 02:03:09,000 --> 02:03:11,920 Speaker 1: there's so when the NBA releases their schedule will be 2267 02:03:12,000 --> 02:03:13,880 Speaker 1: the first half of the year matched up, but not 2268 02:03:14,000 --> 02:03:16,200 Speaker 1: every game will be on the eighty two game schedule. 2269 02:03:16,560 --> 02:03:18,960 Speaker 1: It's a minor detail, but no minor detail, but it 2270 02:03:19,120 --> 02:03:20,160 Speaker 1: should be. It should be fun. 2271 02:03:20,240 --> 02:03:22,720 Speaker 8: I like the way the regular I kind of like 2272 02:03:22,760 --> 02:03:24,720 Speaker 8: the way they voted in into the regular season in 2273 02:03:24,840 --> 02:03:26,880 Speaker 8: terms of it doesn't disrupt anything. You just have like 2274 02:03:26,920 --> 02:03:30,760 Speaker 8: that little final weekend, which is fun. And I'm telling you, 2275 02:03:30,880 --> 02:03:35,200 Speaker 8: man like trophies and chips and those things. And when 2276 02:03:35,240 --> 02:03:38,000 Speaker 8: you think about the argument, the debate, the goat debate. 2277 02:03:38,680 --> 02:03:41,240 Speaker 1: Now Lebron James is motivated to make sure the AD's 2278 02:03:41,360 --> 02:03:44,960 Speaker 1: up and playing this sarcassm. This could be something different 2279 02:03:45,360 --> 02:03:48,400 Speaker 1: where it is it is complete sarcast It. 2280 02:03:48,400 --> 02:03:51,520 Speaker 8: Would give them if I give him another another bit 2281 02:03:51,600 --> 02:03:54,920 Speaker 8: of ammunition in the debate between who's the goat he 2282 02:03:55,720 --> 02:03:56,440 Speaker 8: or Michael Jordan. 2283 02:03:56,560 --> 02:04:00,440 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about how this compares to what happens 2284 02:04:00,520 --> 02:04:03,240 Speaker 1: in Europe with soccer, and just a minute, we'll bring 2285 02:04:03,320 --> 02:04:08,200 Speaker 1: in Chris Purfet, our technical producer, soccer head, if you will. 2286 02:04:08,720 --> 02:04:12,600 Speaker 1: That will will give us some information and some experience 2287 02:04:12,720 --> 02:04:15,440 Speaker 1: from the various cups that they could beat for over there. 2288 02:04:15,960 --> 02:04:19,240 Speaker 1: But I want to make two points. What I've realized 2289 02:04:19,440 --> 02:04:22,600 Speaker 1: in looking at this tournament, we knew that they wanted 2290 02:04:22,640 --> 02:04:27,280 Speaker 1: to add value Bucky to the regular season, and I 2291 02:04:27,640 --> 02:04:30,080 Speaker 1: think that they will do that. What they've done is 2292 02:04:30,120 --> 02:04:35,360 Speaker 1: they've added attention to the regular season. Yes, there's a 2293 02:04:35,480 --> 02:04:39,400 Speaker 1: reason why these playoff games. In this one hundred second 2294 02:04:39,520 --> 02:04:42,960 Speaker 1: infomercial that they gave you told you that games are 2295 02:04:43,000 --> 02:04:47,000 Speaker 1: on Tuesdays and Fridays. What days do the NFL? Does 2296 02:04:47,040 --> 02:04:51,880 Speaker 1: the NFL play on every day? Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays? 2297 02:04:51,960 --> 02:04:54,520 Speaker 8: Every day all right, so they get they're making sure 2298 02:04:54,560 --> 02:04:57,080 Speaker 8: that the visibility, yes, to be able to see it 2299 02:04:57,080 --> 02:04:58,480 Speaker 8: Tuesdays and Friday. 2300 02:04:58,600 --> 02:05:01,560 Speaker 1: Yes, I would say this kind of I'm looking at 2301 02:05:01,560 --> 02:05:02,440 Speaker 1: their TV schedule. 2302 02:05:02,800 --> 02:05:07,120 Speaker 8: They go Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays to NBA because you 2303 02:05:07,160 --> 02:05:09,320 Speaker 8: will catch inside the NBA that's don't think I watched. 2304 02:05:09,200 --> 02:05:11,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, just show. But it also goes up against the 2305 02:05:11,720 --> 02:05:13,680 Speaker 1: Thursday night game, so you're not gonna have that on 2306 02:05:13,880 --> 02:05:17,880 Speaker 1: on Thursday. That makes sense. So yeah, so you love visibility, yes, yeah, 2307 02:05:18,280 --> 02:05:20,760 Speaker 1: And it also allows you because it's going to start 2308 02:05:20,800 --> 02:05:22,960 Speaker 1: in early November. So what they've done is they've gave 2309 02:05:23,040 --> 02:05:28,200 Speaker 1: you like these these posts, these benchmarks. NBA season will 2310 02:05:28,240 --> 02:05:30,880 Speaker 1: tip off mid October, you know, give or take whatever 2311 02:05:30,880 --> 02:05:34,320 Speaker 1: a couple of days, but give from October fifteenth, that's 2312 02:05:34,440 --> 02:05:37,720 Speaker 1: what it's gonna tip off. Guess what first week in November, 2313 02:05:37,760 --> 02:05:39,640 Speaker 1: November third. I believe it is the first week of 2314 02:05:39,720 --> 02:05:42,200 Speaker 1: the playing games. So now you've got the newness of 2315 02:05:42,280 --> 02:05:44,720 Speaker 1: the season. You're like, oh, November third, we care about 2316 02:05:44,960 --> 02:05:48,360 Speaker 1: we care about basketball. Here, we've got some meaningful games 2317 02:05:48,440 --> 02:05:50,600 Speaker 1: and you have these games now within your group and 2318 02:05:50,680 --> 02:05:52,920 Speaker 1: that you're gonna play over these next couple of weeks. 2319 02:05:53,280 --> 02:05:55,480 Speaker 1: Then you get to the Final four, which is December 2320 02:05:55,560 --> 02:05:58,800 Speaker 1: seventh and the ninth. And once you get to that 2321 02:05:58,920 --> 02:06:01,920 Speaker 1: point two weeks late, you've got your Christmas Day games. 2322 02:06:02,520 --> 02:06:04,760 Speaker 1: They're just trying to grab your attention. They're trying to 2323 02:06:04,800 --> 02:06:09,000 Speaker 1: grab your attention because what has happened. The NFL has 2324 02:06:09,080 --> 02:06:11,440 Speaker 1: swallowed up to Christmas games. The Christmas Games will no 2325 02:06:11,480 --> 02:06:13,720 Speaker 1: longer be watched because the NFL has a triple header 2326 02:06:14,360 --> 02:06:16,760 Speaker 1: on Christmas Day and so what used to be the 2327 02:06:16,840 --> 02:06:21,400 Speaker 1: official coming out party for the NBA that disappears. Yes, 2328 02:06:22,440 --> 02:06:25,280 Speaker 1: but the NFL will not play a triple header when 2329 02:06:25,400 --> 02:06:28,280 Speaker 1: Christmas is on a Wednesday. But it is not gonna 2330 02:06:28,320 --> 02:06:30,400 Speaker 1: like like recently they done it. They've taken advantage of 2331 02:06:30,400 --> 02:06:31,600 Speaker 1: it because it's been at the end of the week. 2332 02:06:31,960 --> 02:06:34,160 Speaker 1: I don't know, we're talking about five of the six, 2333 02:06:34,440 --> 02:06:36,760 Speaker 1: you know, five days the NFL will dominate. But there 2334 02:06:36,760 --> 02:06:38,600 Speaker 1: will come a day when Christmas is on a Wednesday, 2335 02:06:38,720 --> 02:06:40,800 Speaker 1: and that the end of the day we'll do We'll 2336 02:06:40,800 --> 02:06:42,920 Speaker 1: play on a Wednesday, because we. 2337 02:06:42,960 --> 02:06:45,440 Speaker 8: Did it during COVID. During COVID, we played on Tuesdays 2338 02:06:45,520 --> 02:06:48,280 Speaker 8: and everything, and you know what, people tuned in and what. 2339 02:06:48,480 --> 02:06:50,600 Speaker 8: I'm gonna make one other point about this. I am 2340 02:06:50,720 --> 02:06:55,240 Speaker 8: curious to see how load management works in the in 2341 02:06:55,400 --> 02:06:57,240 Speaker 8: this scenario, because there you are going to have to 2342 02:06:57,280 --> 02:06:59,960 Speaker 8: play other games during this time. So let's say you 2343 02:07:00,120 --> 02:07:03,000 Speaker 8: have a game on Tuesday night. Let's just say you 2344 02:07:03,360 --> 02:07:06,920 Speaker 8: are a member of the l A Clippers. They're gonna 2345 02:07:06,960 --> 02:07:10,320 Speaker 8: use load management. You Kawhi Leonard and Paul George have 2346 02:07:10,520 --> 02:07:11,880 Speaker 8: your game on Tuesday. 2347 02:07:12,200 --> 02:07:13,880 Speaker 1: We gotta play, we gotta play. We gotta play the 2348 02:07:13,960 --> 02:07:16,520 Speaker 1: playing in group in in group play. So we played 2349 02:07:16,560 --> 02:07:19,400 Speaker 1: that one, yeah, and then you're gonna sit out the 2350 02:07:19,480 --> 02:07:21,360 Speaker 1: next one? Yeah? Well what about if the next one 2351 02:07:21,520 --> 02:07:25,200 Speaker 1: was against the uh, you know, Golden State of the Lakers. 2352 02:07:25,200 --> 02:07:26,880 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. We want to win. We want to 2353 02:07:26,880 --> 02:07:28,720 Speaker 1: win the cup. Yes, we want to hang a banner. 2354 02:07:30,040 --> 02:07:33,080 Speaker 1: I think the determining on how you deal with load 2355 02:07:33,200 --> 02:07:36,920 Speaker 1: management is also gonna I am curious if there will 2356 02:07:36,920 --> 02:07:39,200 Speaker 1: be a team that will have load management in one 2357 02:07:39,240 --> 02:07:42,240 Speaker 1: of these games. If that happens, it. 2358 02:07:42,240 --> 02:07:44,360 Speaker 8: Will be a team that is a perennial contender, like 2359 02:07:44,760 --> 02:07:47,120 Speaker 8: a team that always wins yep, a team that has 2360 02:07:47,600 --> 02:07:49,920 Speaker 8: hung other banners up there. So I can see the 2361 02:07:50,000 --> 02:07:54,560 Speaker 8: Celtics not doing it, not dealing with the uh stuff. 2362 02:07:54,600 --> 02:07:56,760 Speaker 1: I can see. I brought the Clippers up for a reason. 2363 02:07:57,960 --> 02:07:59,800 Speaker 8: The Clippers need to win because I would think bombing 2364 02:07:59,840 --> 02:08:02,800 Speaker 8: it new arena in Inglewood. You want to be able 2365 02:08:02,840 --> 02:08:05,880 Speaker 8: to hang up some banners. You don't have anything up there. 2366 02:08:06,000 --> 02:08:07,720 Speaker 8: I want to bring Chris him. And I'm just gonna 2367 02:08:07,720 --> 02:08:10,280 Speaker 8: say one final thing. There is this T shirt that 2368 02:08:10,440 --> 02:08:12,560 Speaker 8: is very popular on the state of Wisconsin. 2369 02:08:13,400 --> 02:08:16,320 Speaker 1: It is a picture. It is purple, and it is 2370 02:08:16,400 --> 02:08:19,880 Speaker 1: in gold writing and it shows the It says the 2371 02:08:20,000 --> 02:08:24,160 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings trophy case and it's empty shelves. That's what 2372 02:08:24,280 --> 02:08:27,280 Speaker 1: it is. It's an empty armoire. Nothing is in it. 2373 02:08:27,840 --> 02:08:31,320 Speaker 1: It's a joke because Minnesota, the Minnesota Vikings haven't won. 2374 02:08:32,080 --> 02:08:34,680 Speaker 1: You start winning NBA Cups and getting ousted from the 2375 02:08:34,720 --> 02:08:37,880 Speaker 1: playoffs and not living up to potential, you are going 2376 02:08:37,960 --> 02:08:41,200 Speaker 1: to be mocked. Chris Purfet, How does this set up 2377 02:08:41,320 --> 02:08:44,000 Speaker 1: in the NBA compared to what we see in European soccer? 2378 02:08:44,320 --> 02:08:47,440 Speaker 3: So the wild card in the group stage kind of 2379 02:08:47,480 --> 02:08:49,400 Speaker 3: throws me for a loop. That's not something you'll see 2380 02:08:49,480 --> 02:08:54,200 Speaker 3: in something like World Cup or even euros The what 2381 02:08:54,360 --> 02:08:56,680 Speaker 3: the NBA lacks right now is kind of the history 2382 02:08:56,720 --> 02:08:58,839 Speaker 3: of it, and it might even lack the entire paradigm, 2383 02:08:58,880 --> 02:08:59,800 Speaker 3: at least for Europe. 2384 02:08:59,800 --> 02:09:01,280 Speaker 1: For soccer you have. 2385 02:09:01,480 --> 02:09:03,920 Speaker 3: I was just telling Bucky in the break, like teams, 2386 02:09:04,280 --> 02:09:08,240 Speaker 3: clubs just stack trophies, that's what they do. The FA Cup, 2387 02:09:08,440 --> 02:09:12,320 Speaker 3: the domestic leagues like Premier League, Champions League, you always 2388 02:09:12,360 --> 02:09:15,400 Speaker 3: have something to fight for at a different time of year. 2389 02:09:15,640 --> 02:09:17,920 Speaker 3: Some of those more prestigious than others. The FA Cup 2390 02:09:18,000 --> 02:09:21,680 Speaker 3: even has kind of fallen by the wayside. But I 2391 02:09:21,800 --> 02:09:23,960 Speaker 3: don't know how this is going to react to an 2392 02:09:24,000 --> 02:09:27,240 Speaker 3: American audience who has been long trained for over one 2393 02:09:27,280 --> 02:09:30,000 Speaker 3: hundred years that there's only one trophy in all of 2394 02:09:30,080 --> 02:09:32,720 Speaker 3: our major four sports, and that's the World Series, the 2395 02:09:32,920 --> 02:09:39,360 Speaker 3: NBA Trophy, the Lombardi, the Stanley Cup. It's just a 2396 02:09:39,520 --> 02:09:44,440 Speaker 3: single It's a completely different paradigm that it's only one object. 2397 02:09:44,520 --> 02:09:47,840 Speaker 3: It's like what you're saying, so compared to Europe, where 2398 02:09:47,880 --> 02:09:51,480 Speaker 3: you have these different trophies, where everything can kind of 2399 02:09:51,560 --> 02:09:54,680 Speaker 3: mean something. It's all a matter of pride versus our 2400 02:09:54,800 --> 02:09:58,000 Speaker 3: sports culture, which is really a winner take all at 2401 02:09:58,040 --> 02:09:59,880 Speaker 3: the end of the day. This kind of stands in 2402 02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:02,000 Speaker 3: opposition to it. I know they want to spice up 2403 02:10:02,240 --> 02:10:04,840 Speaker 3: the season, and I applaud them for that. I don't 2404 02:10:04,840 --> 02:10:06,680 Speaker 3: know if it's the right time of year to really 2405 02:10:06,720 --> 02:10:09,160 Speaker 3: spice up the season because you're still competing with the 2406 02:10:09,400 --> 02:10:11,640 Speaker 3: NFL had to head with this with this tournament. 2407 02:10:11,680 --> 02:10:15,640 Speaker 1: From what I understand, I know Sacramento. I know Sacramento 2408 02:10:16,120 --> 02:10:20,560 Speaker 1: fared very well in their return to the postseason. Loston 2409 02:10:20,680 --> 02:10:23,800 Speaker 1: seven games to Golden State. Here's what I'm wondering, guys. 2410 02:10:24,320 --> 02:10:27,280 Speaker 1: Does does this format help a team that maybe needs 2411 02:10:27,600 --> 02:10:30,640 Speaker 1: that sort of experience? Yes, because yeah, I think I'm 2412 02:10:30,640 --> 02:10:33,120 Speaker 1: a sacking fan. I would love that. Yeah. Yeah, or 2413 02:10:33,200 --> 02:10:35,839 Speaker 1: even a team that's maybe been on the outside Pistons, 2414 02:10:35,920 --> 02:10:37,480 Speaker 1: you know, like you got a young team, if they're 2415 02:10:37,960 --> 02:10:40,280 Speaker 1: like would that bode well for them? The play in 2416 02:10:40,400 --> 02:10:45,520 Speaker 1: tournament really has been a success yea so far. There 2417 02:10:46,040 --> 02:10:47,880 Speaker 1: may be a few glitches here, maybe some of the 2418 02:10:47,920 --> 02:10:50,920 Speaker 1: games weren't great, but I think the play in tournament 2419 02:10:50,960 --> 02:10:53,400 Speaker 1: that we've seen over the last couple of years has 2420 02:10:54,320 --> 02:10:56,680 Speaker 1: has been successful. Would you be excited to see Giannis 2421 02:10:56,720 --> 02:10:57,400 Speaker 1: hoisted cup? 2422 02:10:58,840 --> 02:10:58,880 Speaker 7: No? 2423 02:10:59,040 --> 02:11:02,520 Speaker 1: Because I just saw them hoist the Lario ars Ago. 2424 02:11:02,720 --> 02:11:05,160 Speaker 8: Yeah, we got Adrian Griffin, Like, they hoist the cup 2425 02:11:05,320 --> 02:11:06,960 Speaker 8: and you feel positive about that. 2426 02:11:07,640 --> 02:11:10,360 Speaker 1: The only thing that I'll feel positive about next season 2427 02:11:10,600 --> 02:11:11,960 Speaker 1: is if the Bucks make it out of the first 2428 02:11:12,000 --> 02:11:15,800 Speaker 1: round of the playoffs. Like and and I'm being somewhat 2429 02:11:15,840 --> 02:11:18,400 Speaker 1: tongue in cheek, you're being greedy now, but I'm also 2430 02:11:18,520 --> 02:11:23,080 Speaker 1: being realistic, Like an NBA Cup would not erase how 2431 02:11:23,160 --> 02:11:25,200 Speaker 1: much it's stunk to watch them loose to the Heat 2432 02:11:25,240 --> 02:11:28,680 Speaker 1: in five games like that. Not that this not even 2433 02:11:28,680 --> 02:11:31,280 Speaker 1: though they're in the same group as the Heat, it 2434 02:11:31,360 --> 02:11:34,240 Speaker 1: would not. It would not change my feeling of that. 2435 02:11:35,000 --> 02:11:38,800 Speaker 1: And that's that's where some of this comes in. 2436 02:11:38,920 --> 02:11:41,320 Speaker 3: And I think I think soccer still has those analogies 2437 02:11:41,360 --> 02:11:44,600 Speaker 3: in that way, like Manchester United was on the verge 2438 02:11:44,640 --> 02:11:46,840 Speaker 3: of an FA Cup smaller clubs, if you get to 2439 02:11:47,000 --> 02:11:49,200 Speaker 3: like deep stages of the FA Cup, you're about to 2440 02:11:49,240 --> 02:11:51,600 Speaker 3: win it, which for those not aware, the FA Cup 2441 02:11:51,680 --> 02:11:54,080 Speaker 3: is kind of an n season tournament every club, every 2442 02:11:54,200 --> 02:11:57,800 Speaker 3: level in England takes place and uh, you know the 2443 02:11:58,400 --> 02:12:00,440 Speaker 3: no one from a lower divisions really won the FA 2444 02:12:00,520 --> 02:12:02,800 Speaker 3: Cup in a long time. But if you're get up high, 2445 02:12:02,800 --> 02:12:06,160 Speaker 3: it's seen as a mark of honor versus if you're 2446 02:12:06,240 --> 02:12:08,880 Speaker 3: like a Manchester City maybe or like a Liverpool, you 2447 02:12:09,000 --> 02:12:12,160 Speaker 3: probably don't care about the FA Cup as much. Like 2448 02:12:12,240 --> 02:12:13,800 Speaker 3: if you win it, that's cool. But then if you 2449 02:12:13,920 --> 02:12:17,000 Speaker 3: lose say Champions League, or you lose or you fail 2450 02:12:17,080 --> 02:12:19,680 Speaker 3: to take the Premier League trophy, that is seen as 2451 02:12:19,720 --> 02:12:21,680 Speaker 3: a disappointment. So I think I get where Dan is 2452 02:12:21,720 --> 02:12:24,840 Speaker 3: coming from. That sentiment still exists. It's all about where 2453 02:12:24,920 --> 02:12:28,760 Speaker 3: your club is, where you stand in the pecking order 2454 02:12:28,800 --> 02:12:32,080 Speaker 3: of things. And yeah, again, like a second tier team 2455 02:12:32,160 --> 02:12:35,320 Speaker 3: like the Pistons or Sacramento Kings, someone who's been out 2456 02:12:35,320 --> 02:12:36,840 Speaker 3: in the cold too long, it'll mean a lot more. 2457 02:12:36,920 --> 02:12:38,919 Speaker 3: But if the Lakers win it and then get bounced 2458 02:12:39,360 --> 02:12:40,920 Speaker 3: in like the first two rounds, is going to be 2459 02:12:41,000 --> 02:12:42,080 Speaker 3: seen as a point of mockery. 2460 02:12:42,400 --> 02:12:46,520 Speaker 1: I know that just the history of what you have 2461 02:12:46,720 --> 02:12:50,400 Speaker 1: with soccer plays a part into that, Like, yeah, these 2462 02:12:50,440 --> 02:12:53,160 Speaker 1: are one hundred year old trophies. Yeah, Newcastle like hasn't 2463 02:12:53,160 --> 02:12:56,240 Speaker 1: had a Cup in fifty years or something, so like 2464 02:12:56,400 --> 02:12:58,680 Speaker 1: you know, like this year they were on the verge 2465 02:12:58,680 --> 02:13:01,400 Speaker 1: of winning it, so it's a big deal. It will 2466 02:13:01,520 --> 02:13:03,760 Speaker 1: take time. I am not ruling this out and saying 2467 02:13:03,800 --> 02:13:05,880 Speaker 1: this is a joke. I don't feel that way. I 2468 02:13:05,960 --> 02:13:08,240 Speaker 1: do think that there's value but I also think that 2469 02:13:08,320 --> 02:13:10,240 Speaker 1: we have to realize what the value is, and the 2470 02:13:10,360 --> 02:13:12,960 Speaker 1: value is is they just want to make sure that 2471 02:13:13,040 --> 02:13:15,800 Speaker 1: you are invested in the league in early November, in 2472 02:13:15,920 --> 02:13:18,880 Speaker 1: late November, and then again in early December, which usually 2473 02:13:18,960 --> 02:13:24,040 Speaker 1: goes by the wayside because of the NFL's dominance and 2474 02:13:24,200 --> 02:13:26,160 Speaker 1: the NBA season just being as long as it is. 2475 02:13:26,280 --> 02:13:29,640 Speaker 8: Yeah, it gives you a chance because before the launch 2476 02:13:29,760 --> 02:13:32,920 Speaker 8: point with Christmas, so now they moved it up a 2477 02:13:33,000 --> 02:13:34,839 Speaker 8: little bit, as you said. 2478 02:13:35,000 --> 02:13:37,840 Speaker 1: Get more eyes on it.

Can I tell you a quick story 2488 02:14:04,800 --> 02:14:08,480 Speaker 1: about this song that has nothing to do with the 2489 02:14:08,960 --> 02:14:12,960 Speaker 1: song The Beastie Boys or anything about it. One night, 2490 02:14:13,040 --> 02:14:15,400 Speaker 1: I was out playing golf. You know, it's evening. I 2491 02:14:15,520 --> 02:14:17,160 Speaker 1: like to play at night. That's I like to play 2492 02:14:17,160 --> 02:14:19,560 Speaker 1: in the evening. Fox Sports Sunday. By the way, on 2493 02:14:19,640 --> 02:14:22,800 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, we're gonna get BUCkies must sign players 2494 02:14:22,840 --> 02:14:28,520 Speaker 1: in the NFL. It was dusk. It was dusk, and 2495 02:14:29,440 --> 02:14:31,400 Speaker 1: I was playing the Ninth Holl, just catching a quick 2496 02:14:31,520 --> 02:14:33,640 Speaker 1: nine before I called it a night. And the Ninth 2497 02:14:33,680 --> 02:14:35,800 Speaker 1: Toll is across the street from a clubhouse and where 2498 02:14:35,840 --> 02:14:38,000 Speaker 1: my car was parked. So you gotta take this little 2499 02:14:38,000 --> 02:14:45,360 Speaker 1: tunnel underneath the road, Bucky. There were three skunks right 2500 02:14:46,520 --> 02:14:50,600 Speaker 1: in the I'm not afraid of skunks. I don't want 2501 02:14:50,640 --> 02:14:53,760 Speaker 1: to be sprayed by a skunk. Little spray listen. And 2502 02:14:54,000 --> 02:14:57,640 Speaker 1: so it's the only way unless I wanted to walk 2503 02:14:57,920 --> 02:15:01,800 Speaker 1: all the way back down to the the sixth hole, 2504 02:15:03,160 --> 02:15:05,880 Speaker 1: hop up on the sidewalk, and then walk back to 2505 02:15:05,960 --> 02:15:08,560 Speaker 1: the clubhouse another way, Like it would just been way 2506 02:15:08,600 --> 02:15:10,400 Speaker 1: too much walking. So I'm like, what do I do? 2507 02:15:10,560 --> 02:15:13,160 Speaker 1: Number One took a couple of old golf balls that 2508 02:15:13,240 --> 02:15:16,880 Speaker 1: I had in my bag and tried to yes not 2509 02:15:17,080 --> 02:15:19,360 Speaker 1: to hit them, to distract them, to see if they 2510 02:15:19,360 --> 02:15:25,240 Speaker 1: would scurry away we got it. No, they didn't flinch. 2511 02:15:25,720 --> 02:15:29,080 Speaker 1: They didn't even know that the ball was in there. 2512 02:15:29,200 --> 02:15:33,240 Speaker 1: I was hoping that because no, not at all. So 2513 02:15:33,400 --> 02:15:36,160 Speaker 1: then I'm like, you know, I'm trying to make sounds 2514 02:15:36,280 --> 02:15:42,520 Speaker 1: like you know, yeah, you know, stuff like that clapping, 2515 02:15:43,160 --> 02:15:46,520 Speaker 1: no dice. And then I'm like, maybe if we gave 2516 02:15:46,600 --> 02:15:51,360 Speaker 1: some weird sounds. So on my phone I had Intergalactic 2517 02:15:51,440 --> 02:15:54,440 Speaker 1: and I'm like, that's the song I'm going to try 2518 02:15:54,520 --> 02:15:57,520 Speaker 1: to play. So I turned up my phone, turned it 2519 02:15:57,600 --> 02:15:59,960 Speaker 1: on as loud as it could to think that maybe 2520 02:16:00,120 --> 02:16:03,520 Speaker 1: if they heard some strange sound that they would scurry away. 2521 02:16:04,720 --> 02:16:07,200 Speaker 1: Didn't happen. There it is. I know they payoff of 2522 02:16:07,280 --> 02:16:10,480 Speaker 1: the story. The skunks did not move. They were not 2523 02:16:10,760 --> 02:16:15,680 Speaker 1: at all afraid of the Beastie Boys or Intergalactic. But 2524 02:16:15,840 --> 02:16:18,560 Speaker 1: I thought all of the like would be like, oh, 2525 02:16:18,640 --> 02:16:22,160 Speaker 1: this is weird, maybe we're gonna scatter away. It didn't. 2526 02:16:22,160 --> 02:16:23,440 Speaker 1: So I had to climb up a hill with my 2527 02:16:23,480 --> 02:16:25,800 Speaker 1: golf clubs and then cross the street and then get 2528 02:16:25,840 --> 02:16:28,320 Speaker 1: back into the parking lot. There is my story on 2529 02:16:28,760 --> 02:16:32,320 Speaker 1: the Beastie Boys Intergalactic. I apologize for wasting one hundred 2530 02:16:32,320 --> 02:16:34,480 Speaker 1: and twenty seconds. No, no, no, I mean, I appreciate, 2531 02:16:34,680 --> 02:16:37,720 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I'm I'm worried about you. Now the 2532 02:16:37,760 --> 02:16:39,199 Speaker 1: next time you go go off and I'm worried about 2533 02:16:39,240 --> 02:16:43,039 Speaker 1: you and the skunks, because evidently they are. It's menacing, 2534 02:16:43,160 --> 02:16:48,760 Speaker 1: it's wild. Would you feel comfortable walking past the skunk? No, 2535 02:16:49,480 --> 02:16:52,200 Speaker 1: nobody you would is going not a raccoon. No, but 2536 02:16:52,400 --> 02:16:55,520 Speaker 1: the skunk will spray you and then you will stink 2537 02:16:55,959 --> 02:16:59,920 Speaker 1: like no end. But you'll stink like the bad marijuana 2538 02:17:00,080 --> 02:17:02,640 Speaker 1: of my neighbors, like Peppi lapiche. You know, Can they 2539 02:17:02,720 --> 02:17:06,800 Speaker 1: just stop smoking weed for one night? PLA. All right, 2540 02:17:07,240 --> 02:17:08,880 Speaker 1: let's get to your You did a piece on Fox 2541 02:17:08,879 --> 02:17:15,039 Speaker 1: sports dot com Peppy leapew I'm uh not the must 2542 02:17:15,080 --> 02:17:18,560 Speaker 1: see players in the NFL. They must sign players. You 2543 02:17:18,600 --> 02:17:22,359 Speaker 1: gotta have them, You gotta have them. Some notable names 2544 02:17:22,480 --> 02:17:24,520 Speaker 1: on this list. One of whatich Saquon Barkley. 2545 02:17:24,680 --> 02:17:26,320 Speaker 8: Take on bark You gotta you gotta, you gotta have 2546 02:17:26,480 --> 02:17:30,280 Speaker 8: so going all the way back, the league has changed 2547 02:17:30,560 --> 02:17:33,440 Speaker 8: to a past centric league. And one of the things 2548 02:17:33,480 --> 02:17:36,720 Speaker 8: that I learned I wasn't drafted by this uh executive, 2549 02:17:36,720 --> 02:17:39,240 Speaker 8: Bill Pollion, but one of the things and talking to 2550 02:17:39,320 --> 02:17:41,680 Speaker 8: him and watching his work what he's always done in 2551 02:17:42,000 --> 02:17:45,080 Speaker 8: building championship teams. He's building around what we call the 2552 02:17:45,200 --> 02:17:49,960 Speaker 8: piece a passer, a set of playmakers, and some pass rushers. 2553 02:17:50,480 --> 02:17:52,400 Speaker 8: So those are the guys that you signed to long 2554 02:17:52,480 --> 02:17:54,600 Speaker 8: term deals. Now, it used to be back in the 2555 02:17:54,680 --> 02:17:57,760 Speaker 8: day you would also include pass protectors like the franchise 2556 02:17:57,879 --> 02:18:00,600 Speaker 8: tackle and those things. But the game is were now 2557 02:18:00,879 --> 02:18:02,560 Speaker 8: you put it on the quarterback to get it out 2558 02:18:02,600 --> 02:18:05,480 Speaker 8: of his hands quickly, and we've seen teams have success 2559 02:18:05,520 --> 02:18:08,120 Speaker 8: with that. The Chiefs last year they won a Super Bowl, 2560 02:18:08,160 --> 02:18:11,200 Speaker 8: they didn't have marquee tackles. Even though Orlando Brown and 2561 02:18:11,280 --> 02:18:13,480 Speaker 8: Andrew Widey got paid on the open market, they weren't 2562 02:18:13,760 --> 02:18:16,800 Speaker 8: what we call blue chip guys. And so the guys 2563 02:18:16,840 --> 02:18:19,199 Speaker 8: who deserve the money, the guys that you are paying 2564 02:18:19,560 --> 02:18:24,440 Speaker 8: to be pillars, are quarterbacks, pass rushers either inside or outside, 2565 02:18:24,840 --> 02:18:28,000 Speaker 8: and then what we call playmakers. Offensively, that's going away 2566 02:18:28,040 --> 02:18:30,680 Speaker 8: from running back to more of your wide receivers. But 2567 02:18:30,800 --> 02:18:32,480 Speaker 8: if you are going to pay a running back, he 2568 02:18:32,520 --> 02:18:35,000 Speaker 8: has to impact the game as a pass catcher. 2569 02:18:35,240 --> 02:18:36,959 Speaker 1: Is Quinn Williams one of those guys? 2570 02:18:37,480 --> 02:18:40,720 Speaker 8: Yeah, Quinn Williams is someone who certainly deserves to be paid. 2571 02:18:40,760 --> 02:18:43,600 Speaker 8: When you think of last season, he had twelve sacks. 2572 02:18:43,840 --> 02:18:46,480 Speaker 8: He has twenty seven sacks in his career. He has 2573 02:18:46,560 --> 02:18:48,800 Speaker 8: been a guy that is kind of the centerpiece of 2574 02:18:48,879 --> 02:18:51,880 Speaker 8: that defense. Everyone is excited about Aaron Rodgers and what 2575 02:18:51,920 --> 02:18:54,760 Speaker 8: he will add to the offense, but the just defense 2576 02:18:54,879 --> 02:18:58,520 Speaker 8: is what made them a team that people consider worthy 2577 02:18:58,560 --> 02:19:01,720 Speaker 8: of being entitled contention. If they're going to play at 2578 02:19:01,760 --> 02:19:04,160 Speaker 8: the level that everyone expects, it won't be because of 2579 02:19:04,200 --> 02:19:06,560 Speaker 8: Aaron Rodgers. It will be because of Quinn Williams on 2580 02:19:06,640 --> 02:19:07,640 Speaker 8: the inside dominating. 2581 02:19:07,720 --> 02:19:07,800 Speaker 7: Now. 2582 02:19:07,840 --> 02:19:09,800 Speaker 1: I do want people to read the article, but the 2583 02:19:09,879 --> 02:19:12,400 Speaker 1: five names that you did give were Barkley and Williams. 2584 02:19:14,720 --> 02:19:18,920 Speaker 1: Barkley yep, Quinn Williams. You have Nick Bosa, yep. Justin 2585 02:19:19,040 --> 02:19:22,760 Speaker 1: Jeffersonistin Jefferson. You have my quarterback, Joe Burrow. Yes, say 2586 02:19:22,800 --> 02:19:24,920 Speaker 1: what about Justin Herbert? Did he just not make it 2587 02:19:24,959 --> 02:19:26,440 Speaker 1: because you only did one quarterback? 2588 02:19:27,080 --> 02:19:28,720 Speaker 8: Yeah, we only did one quarterback. I mean he has 2589 02:19:28,760 --> 02:19:32,120 Speaker 8: to get paid. But here's the thing about Justin Herbert. 2590 02:19:32,360 --> 02:19:34,640 Speaker 8: And I'll say this, like Joe Burrow has led his 2591 02:19:34,720 --> 02:19:37,560 Speaker 8: team to a super Bowl. We know exactly what Joe 2592 02:19:37,640 --> 02:19:39,680 Speaker 8: Burr is getting. We saw what the Bengals were like 2593 02:19:39,800 --> 02:19:42,760 Speaker 8: before Joe Burrow, and we've seen what they are after 2594 02:19:42,879 --> 02:19:44,520 Speaker 8: Joe Burrow. This is a team that has went back 2595 02:19:44,560 --> 02:19:46,880 Speaker 8: to back divisions. I mentioned that they went to the 2596 02:19:46,920 --> 02:19:50,160 Speaker 8: Super Bowl and look, if not for maybe a shady 2597 02:19:50,240 --> 02:19:52,600 Speaker 8: call on Logan Wilson, maybe they win a super Bowl. 2598 02:19:53,480 --> 02:19:56,320 Speaker 8: And so that's the difference. Justin Herbert has been great, 2599 02:19:56,800 --> 02:20:01,400 Speaker 8: outstanding regularly and regular season performer. The number speak for themselves, 2600 02:20:01,480 --> 02:20:05,800 Speaker 8: but we have not seen the significant wins for the charge. 2601 02:20:05,959 --> 02:20:08,560 Speaker 1: We talked with Adam Kaplan earlier in the show and 2602 02:20:08,680 --> 02:20:11,520 Speaker 1: we talked about Tony Pollard and Adam pointed to the 2603 02:20:14,000 --> 02:20:17,280 Speaker 1: not lack of usage, but he's not a Bellkow. He's 2604 02:20:17,320 --> 02:20:19,800 Speaker 1: not the guy that's gonna get twenty twenty five. Would 2605 02:20:19,800 --> 02:20:23,360 Speaker 1: that sway you away from signing Tony Pollard to some 2606 02:20:23,600 --> 02:20:25,000 Speaker 1: sort of wow? 2607 02:20:25,080 --> 02:20:28,080 Speaker 8: I mean like I would given it, but I wouldn't 2608 02:20:28,080 --> 02:20:33,199 Speaker 8: go above the line. I wouldn't overpay significantly to retain 2609 02:20:33,240 --> 02:20:36,520 Speaker 8: his services. That is different than my opinion on Sakwon 2610 02:20:36,600 --> 02:20:39,280 Speaker 8: Barkley and what he means to the Giants because of 2611 02:20:39,360 --> 02:20:41,840 Speaker 8: what he means to Daniel Jones. When you look at 2612 02:20:41,879 --> 02:20:46,000 Speaker 8: Daniel Jones with and without Sakwon Barley, his numbers fall 2613 02:20:46,080 --> 02:20:49,360 Speaker 8: off the table, off the cliff when Sakwon Barkley isn't there. 2614 02:20:49,480 --> 02:20:52,160 Speaker 8: So I know that we paid forty to forty five 2615 02:20:52,200 --> 02:20:54,840 Speaker 8: million for Daniel Jones. The thing we have to have 2616 02:20:55,040 --> 02:20:57,000 Speaker 8: to ensure that he plays well. We got to get 2617 02:20:57,080 --> 02:20:59,200 Speaker 8: miss playmate. So when we signed him, that means we 2618 02:20:59,320 --> 02:21:01,960 Speaker 8: have to also on Saquon Barkley. Check out the full 2619 02:21:02,040 --> 02:21:06,039 Speaker 8: article at foxsports dot com. Probably a graphic at Joe 2620 02:21:06,160 --> 02:21:10,320 Speaker 8: Burrow there. Nick bosaid to reel you in chess leographic. 2621 02:21:10,360 --> 02:21:12,600 Speaker 8: The artwork is look very good.

Isaac, what 2629 02:21:30,000 --> 02:21:30,480 Speaker 1: is happening? 2630 02:21:31,280 --> 02:21:34,920 Speaker 2: Bell's a lot happening in college sports with coaches because 2631 02:21:35,000 --> 02:21:39,200 Speaker 2: overnight Northwestern University president Michael Schill published an open letter 2632 02:21:39,240 --> 02:21:41,680 Speaker 2: where he said he may have aired in giving head 2633 02:21:41,680 --> 02:21:45,480 Speaker 2: football coach Pat Fitzgerald only a two week suspension after 2634 02:21:45,560 --> 02:21:49,360 Speaker 2: an investigation into hazing allegations within the program. Shill said 2635 02:21:49,400 --> 02:21:52,120 Speaker 2: he focused too much on what Fitzgerald didn't know and 2636 02:21:52,280 --> 02:21:55,560 Speaker 2: not enough on what he should have known. Shill added 2637 02:21:55,600 --> 02:21:58,520 Speaker 2: he'll ass as future steps in the days ahead, hinting 2638 02:21:58,640 --> 02:22:03,920 Speaker 2: he's considering additional discipline of Fitzgerald. Former West Virginia University 2639 02:22:04,000 --> 02:22:07,480 Speaker 2: had basketball coach Bob Huggins, who resigned in June after 2640 02:22:07,560 --> 02:22:10,920 Speaker 2: a drunk driving arrest, is now claiming through a Cleveland 2641 02:22:10,959 --> 02:22:14,960 Speaker 2: based attorney that he actually did not resign and is 2642 02:22:15,040 --> 02:22:19,600 Speaker 2: now demanding the university reinstate him as head coach. The 2643 02:22:19,760 --> 02:22:25,080 Speaker 2: university responded to the attorney quote, we are frankly confused. 2644 02:22:26,040 --> 02:22:29,440 Speaker 2: You ain't the only one, babe, the university wanted to say, quote, 2645 02:22:29,480 --> 02:22:33,600 Speaker 2: mister Huggins clearly communicated his resignation in writing the university 2646 02:22:33,760 --> 02:22:37,400 Speaker 2: will not reinstate him as head coach unquote. And Major 2647 02:22:37,480 --> 02:22:40,880 Speaker 2: League Baseball Toronto pitcher Jordan Romano has been named to 2648 02:22:40,959 --> 02:22:44,000 Speaker 2: the American League All Star Team as an injury replacement 2649 02:22:44,080 --> 02:22:47,880 Speaker 2: for Houston Astro's pitcher from ber Valdez on the scoreboard 2650 02:22:48,080 --> 02:22:52,400 Speaker 2: right now at Washington. The Nationals and Rangers are scoreless 2651 02:22:52,560 --> 02:22:55,000 Speaker 2: in the top half of the third inning. At Wimbledon. 2652 02:22:55,080 --> 02:22:59,360 Speaker 2: American Jessica Pegoula's one fourth round match. Novak Djokovic will 2653 02:22:59,400 --> 02:23:03,720 Speaker 2: play his fourth round match later today. Also had an 2654 02:23:03,879 --> 02:23:08,520 Speaker 2: odd delay in the third round ladies singles match between 2655 02:23:08,920 --> 02:23:19,360 Speaker 2: Anastasia Potapova and Mira Andreva on Court three. Potapova was serving, 2656 02:23:19,520 --> 02:23:22,360 Speaker 2: but while the ball was in the air, one of 2657 02:23:22,440 --> 02:23:26,920 Speaker 2: the fans decided to pop a bottle of champagne, so 2658 02:23:27,320 --> 02:23:30,680 Speaker 2: Potapova was allowed to try her serve. 2659 02:23:30,879 --> 02:23:32,760 Speaker 1: Over the chair. 2660 02:23:32,840 --> 02:23:36,160 Speaker 2: Umpire said, ladies and gentlemen, please, if you are opening 2661 02:23:36,200 --> 02:23:39,160 Speaker 2: a bottle of champagne, don't do it as the players 2662 02:23:39,680 --> 02:23:44,240 Speaker 2: are about to serve. So champagne corks flying around always 2663 02:23:44,400 --> 02:23:49,080 Speaker 2: a risk at Wimbledon. And that, actually, Bucky, is a 2664 02:23:49,160 --> 02:23:50,720 Speaker 2: true story. We're not joshing with you. 2665 02:23:51,080 --> 02:23:54,200 Speaker 1: Oh no, I was ready. I was like, okay, we've 2666 02:23:54,240 --> 02:23:59,440 Speaker 1: got another story. It's just all a ruse for us 2667 02:23:59,560 --> 02:24:03,160 Speaker 1: to to throw curveballs at Bucky. I thought there was 2668 02:24:03,200 --> 02:24:06,840 Speaker 1: maybe another protest. There was one earlier this week. You 2669 02:24:06,920 --> 02:24:10,840 Speaker 1: know what they threw on the court. No confetti and 2670 02:24:11,240 --> 02:24:12,600 Speaker 1: jigsaw puzzle pieces. 2671 02:24:12,879 --> 02:24:16,960 Speaker 2: Nothing says civil disobedience like jigsaw puzzle pieces today was 2672 02:24:17,120 --> 02:24:19,280 Speaker 2: just bad bottle service. 2673 02:24:19,879 --> 02:24:23,760 Speaker 9: Appreciate it, Isaac. Very good, very well done, Isaac. Are 2674 02:24:23,840 --> 02:24:26,880 Speaker 9: those CITs APAs stats that we tried to full you 2675 02:24:26,959 --> 02:24:30,080 Speaker 9: on and so much more, Isaac, always bringing the heat. 2676 02:24:30,480 --> 02:24:32,800 Speaker 9: By the way, there is nothing like a sore neck 2677 02:24:32,920 --> 02:24:35,279 Speaker 9: than a sore neck from putting together a jigsaw puzzle. 2678 02:24:35,520 --> 02:24:35,760 Speaker 7: Ooh. 2679 02:24:36,920 --> 02:24:39,920 Speaker 1: I will also say putting together a jigsaw puzzle when 2680 02:24:40,000 --> 02:24:43,160 Speaker 1: you are locked in, you're locked in. You are so 2681 02:24:43,440 --> 02:24:48,920 Speaker 1: locked in, time goes so fast that you have no 2682 02:24:49,160 --> 02:24:52,720 Speaker 1: idea that you had just sat there for seventy five 2683 02:24:52,840 --> 02:24:55,160 Speaker 1: minutes because you're only thinking. You ever did you? Were 2684 02:24:55,160 --> 02:24:57,560 Speaker 1: you a puzzle guy? You ever put jigsaw puzzles together? 2685 02:24:57,879 --> 02:24:58,000 Speaker 7: Uh? 2686 02:24:58,160 --> 02:25:02,400 Speaker 1: Never? Really? I like, I love them. I absolutely I 2687 02:25:02,440 --> 02:25:04,840 Speaker 1: would do them right now if I didn't think my 2688 02:25:04,920 --> 02:25:07,640 Speaker 1: two year old would climb on the table and tear 2689 02:25:07,720 --> 02:25:10,040 Speaker 1: it up. I have one of the I have one 2690 02:25:10,120 --> 02:25:12,480 Speaker 1: of the masters from the Masters of Augusta National that 2691 02:25:12,640 --> 02:25:15,680 Speaker 1: is sitting wrapped in the box that is waiting for 2692 02:25:15,760 --> 02:25:17,760 Speaker 1: when he is old enough, then I am going to 2693 02:25:17,840 --> 02:25:20,840 Speaker 1: put this jigsaw puzzle together. However, when you look at 2694 02:25:20,879 --> 02:25:23,320 Speaker 1: the clock and it says nine to fifteen, and you 2695 02:25:23,440 --> 02:25:26,279 Speaker 1: say to yourself, all right, just a couple of more pieces, 2696 02:25:26,560 --> 02:25:28,320 Speaker 1: and then you get on a roll, and then you 2697 02:25:28,400 --> 02:25:30,760 Speaker 1: find another one and find another one. Bucky like that, 2698 02:25:30,959 --> 02:25:32,880 Speaker 1: it's twenty after ten, and you're like, where did the 2699 02:25:33,000 --> 02:25:34,920 Speaker 1: last seventy five minutes go? Your focus? 2700 02:25:35,000 --> 02:25:38,120 Speaker 8: You're locked in your mind absolutely minus sharp because you 2701 02:25:38,200 --> 02:25:40,320 Speaker 8: spent it and devoted it to making sure that the 2702 02:25:40,400 --> 02:25:41,360 Speaker 8: puzzles are. 2703 02:25:41,360 --> 02:25:44,000 Speaker 1: To get it. I love it. I am so down 2704 02:25:44,120 --> 02:25:47,160 Speaker 1: with jigsaw puzzles one hundred percent. I did them as 2705 02:25:47,160 --> 02:25:50,360 Speaker 1: a kid. I love them to this day. They're great. 2706 02:25:50,760 --> 02:25:53,520 Speaker 1: I recommend if you ever have downtime, which I know 2707 02:25:53,600 --> 02:25:55,760 Speaker 1: you don't because it's not enough. But we always can, 2708 02:25:55,920 --> 02:25:58,280 Speaker 1: always can find a way to add a new hobby. 2709 02:25:58,680 --> 02:26:00,520 Speaker 1: I'll even next time you come in. Maybe I'll even 2710 02:26:00,560 --> 02:26:02,920 Speaker 1: bring one for you. Oh what would you rather have 2711 02:26:03,040 --> 02:26:05,600 Speaker 1: tickets to? This weekend? And I'm saying this knowing that 2712 02:26:05,680 --> 02:26:08,800 Speaker 1: the All Star Game was on Fox, so that's on Tuesday. 2713 02:26:09,120 --> 02:26:11,520 Speaker 1: Homer on Derby is not. But let's say you were 2714 02:26:11,560 --> 02:26:14,760 Speaker 1: in Seattle and someone says, Bucky, I got two for 2715 02:26:14,879 --> 02:26:18,240 Speaker 1: the Derby, two for the All Star Game. Which one 2716 02:26:18,240 --> 02:26:18,760 Speaker 1: are you taking? 2717 02:26:19,640 --> 02:26:19,959 Speaker 6: Mmm? 2718 02:26:21,200 --> 02:26:23,200 Speaker 8: I'm gonna go to Homer in Derby. That's what I 2719 02:26:23,240 --> 02:26:25,000 Speaker 8: thought you'd say, I'm gonna go home in Derby, because 2720 02:26:25,000 --> 02:26:28,480 Speaker 8: in fact, I can lived it out. Last year, had 2721 02:26:28,520 --> 02:26:31,000 Speaker 8: the choice to either go to the derby or go 2722 02:26:31,160 --> 02:26:33,680 Speaker 8: to the game. I took my son to the Derby 2723 02:26:33,840 --> 02:26:34,520 Speaker 8: and the activity. 2724 02:26:34,680 --> 02:26:36,720 Speaker 1: This is a real life scenario. So I literally laid 2725 02:26:36,720 --> 02:26:38,520 Speaker 1: out the scenario the base last year. 2726 02:26:38,640 --> 02:26:40,800 Speaker 8: Yeah, it was in La so we had a chance 2727 02:26:40,879 --> 02:26:42,720 Speaker 8: to go and whatever. And for us it was a 2728 02:26:42,800 --> 02:26:45,440 Speaker 8: nostalgic moment because when he was man, he had to 2729 02:26:45,480 --> 02:26:46,520 Speaker 8: be a little fella. 2730 02:26:47,080 --> 02:26:50,640 Speaker 1: The game was in Anaheim at Angels Stadium. 2731 02:26:50,640 --> 02:26:52,480 Speaker 8: It's the first time that I took him to an 2732 02:26:52,480 --> 02:26:56,720 Speaker 8: All Star weekend and or festivities, and so we went 2733 02:26:57,080 --> 02:26:59,320 Speaker 8: and watched the same thing, Homer and Derby and all that. 2734 02:26:59,520 --> 02:27:03,160 Speaker 1: He was t tiny and then there's O nine. I think, right, 2735 02:27:03,280 --> 02:27:05,920 Speaker 1: yeah I did to bring it back full circle or 2736 02:27:07,280 --> 02:27:09,120 Speaker 1: yeah we did it. Yeah it was at something I 2737 02:27:09,120 --> 02:27:10,560 Speaker 1: remember it was like I think it was in Saint 2738 02:27:10,640 --> 02:27:14,520 Speaker 1: Louis and and also in uh in Anaheim in those years. 2739 02:27:14,600 --> 02:27:17,760 Speaker 1: But yeah, that's that's actually pretty awesome. I've been fortunate 2740 02:27:17,920 --> 02:27:22,080 Speaker 1: enough to to have been at both and The one 2741 02:27:22,160 --> 02:27:27,439 Speaker 1: thing about the home run Derby is there is more downtime. 2742 02:27:27,520 --> 02:27:30,200 Speaker 1: You don't realize how much downtime there actually is. 2743 02:27:30,560 --> 02:27:33,039 Speaker 8: Yeah, but that's good though. You go like dodge your 2744 02:27:33,080 --> 02:27:35,680 Speaker 8: dogs and all that. You gotta get built in breaks 2745 02:27:36,760 --> 02:27:37,080 Speaker 8: that that. 2746 02:27:37,160 --> 02:27:39,880 Speaker 1: Could be, that could be the opportunity there are it 2747 02:27:40,120 --> 02:27:44,680 Speaker 1: is for a for an in attendance event, the home 2748 02:27:44,800 --> 02:27:48,480 Speaker 1: run Derby is probably better. Yeah. 2749 02:27:48,560 --> 02:27:51,480 Speaker 8: And so it was funny because last year was the 2750 02:27:51,640 --> 02:27:55,680 Speaker 8: evert pool Hoole steal when oh yeah, pool host was 2751 02:27:55,959 --> 02:27:58,720 Speaker 8: was whacking away and people were mad. I forgot who's 2752 02:27:58,760 --> 02:28:01,840 Speaker 8: going to guest? Who's going from the h who was 2753 02:28:02,200 --> 02:28:07,400 Speaker 8: ranning champion? He he loved Schwarber. Yeah, Swarber loss to 2754 02:28:07,520 --> 02:28:10,320 Speaker 8: Pools and Pools goes all the way and does this thing. 2755 02:28:10,440 --> 02:28:13,160 Speaker 8: And uh, it was great to see aberne Ett. But man, 2756 02:28:13,200 --> 02:28:16,120 Speaker 8: he was taking everything out of Albert. Yeah, took all 2757 02:28:16,160 --> 02:28:17,920 Speaker 8: it took, all the guests, all the stars. 2758 02:28:18,120 --> 02:28:18,400 Speaker 7: I was. 2759 02:28:18,520 --> 02:28:21,360 Speaker 1: I was there in eight at Yankee Stadium when Josh 2760 02:28:21,440 --> 02:28:22,720 Speaker 1: Hamilton went on a tear. 2761 02:28:22,800 --> 02:28:25,360 Speaker 8: I even took it from the crib speaking to North Carolina. 2762 02:28:25,480 --> 02:28:29,320 Speaker 8: Josh Hamilton coming from straight from the streets to Raleigh. 2763 02:28:29,080 --> 02:28:32,240 Speaker 1: And it was it was so electric, but it was 2764 02:28:32,360 --> 02:28:35,760 Speaker 1: such a letdown in the final because it was his 2765 02:28:35,959 --> 02:28:38,720 Speaker 1: night and he was spent. He was done so by 2766 02:28:38,760 --> 02:28:41,920 Speaker 1: the time he gets to the final, Justin Morneaul, the 2767 02:28:41,959 --> 02:28:45,080 Speaker 1: Twins beat him. But yet you have this scoreboard that 2768 02:28:45,280 --> 02:28:48,360 Speaker 1: has gosh. I wish I still had the picture and 2769 02:28:48,440 --> 02:28:50,560 Speaker 1: I'll probably post it tomorrow. It's one of those things 2770 02:28:50,600 --> 02:28:53,200 Speaker 1: that you annually post. But it was just it was like, 2771 02:28:53,600 --> 02:28:56,360 Speaker 1: you know, Justin Morneault earlier, you know six home runs 2772 02:28:56,400 --> 02:28:59,920 Speaker 1: and I don't know, Adrian Gonzalez had four. I may 2773 02:29:00,000 --> 02:29:01,360 Speaker 1: get these numbers up, but then it was like Josh 2774 02:29:01,400 --> 02:29:04,160 Speaker 1: Hamilton twenty seven. It was just it was so odd. 2775 02:29:04,320 --> 02:29:07,119 Speaker 1: But it is such a great event and the great 2776 02:29:07,200 --> 02:29:10,480 Speaker 1: moment for in person that actually I agree that's why 2777 02:29:10,520 --> 02:29:12,160 Speaker 1: you should then stay at home and watch the game 2778 02:29:12,200 --> 02:29:14,360 Speaker 1: on Fox. If you have the opportunity, go to the 2779 02:29:14,400 --> 02:29:16,640 Speaker 1: home run derby and then Tuesday taking there and. 2780 02:29:16,600 --> 02:29:18,920 Speaker 8: It's pretty cool because up in Seattle, I would imagine 2781 02:29:19,080 --> 02:29:21,680 Speaker 8: it would be great in Seattle. Just to backdrop the 2782 02:29:21,720 --> 02:29:24,840 Speaker 8: spectacle we talked about the Pacific Northwest. You go to 2783 02:29:24,879 --> 02:29:27,160 Speaker 8: Pacific Northwest in the summertime, during this time of year, 2784 02:29:27,200 --> 02:29:31,280 Speaker 8: it is absolutely beautiful, So it should be a nice 2785 02:29:31,320 --> 02:29:34,040 Speaker 8: set of festivities to see that and then you see 2786 02:29:34,080 --> 02:29:35,880 Speaker 8: the game. But you know, it was a different time 2787 02:29:35,920 --> 02:29:39,200 Speaker 8: because for us coming up buyer, the All Star Game 2788 02:29:39,840 --> 02:29:43,160 Speaker 8: was everything. I remember, yes, I'm old enough, remember when 2789 02:29:43,240 --> 02:29:47,920 Speaker 8: Pete Rose crashed into the catcher and they yeah, because 2790 02:29:47,959 --> 02:29:50,440 Speaker 8: it meant so much to them and it was a 2791 02:29:50,480 --> 02:29:53,119 Speaker 8: big deal, whether the American League of the National League. 2792 02:29:53,160 --> 02:29:55,600 Speaker 8: One is before the contrived stuff where they were like, 2793 02:29:55,680 --> 02:29:59,280 Speaker 8: oh you getfield advantage. Now, it was just, man, you 2794 02:29:59,360 --> 02:30:02,240 Speaker 8: saw the best players competing at a high level in 2795 02:30:02,320 --> 02:30:03,120 Speaker 8: an All Star Game. 2796 02:30:03,360 --> 02:30:04,920 Speaker 1: Kind of missed that part of it. There was a 2797 02:30:05,000 --> 02:30:06,959 Speaker 1: time too when the all start the home run Derby 2798 02:30:07,120 --> 02:30:09,600 Speaker 1: was in the daytime, like when they started it like 2799 02:30:09,680 --> 02:30:13,760 Speaker 1: the mid nineties, it was like in the afternoon. So 2800 02:30:13,920 --> 02:30:15,840 Speaker 1: Angel Stadium twenty ten, that was the year. Was in 2801 02:30:15,920 --> 02:30:18,640 Speaker 1: Bush Stadium in two thousand and nine and twenty ten. 2802 02:30:18,920 --> 02:30:21,320 Speaker 1: You remember who won in twenty ten? I can. I remember. 2803 02:30:21,680 --> 02:30:23,200 Speaker 1: I was running around with a seven year old. I 2804 02:30:23,280 --> 02:30:25,520 Speaker 1: only have it in front of me.
