WEBVTT - 04/22/21 DPS Hour 2 Robbie Earle 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.439 Sports Radio. It was our third straight year being nominated 0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:09.280 for the Best Studio Show, Best Daily Studio Show, and 0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:11.400 we'd lost before. And I think Seton was a year 0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:14.720 one that a Rod opened the envelope with Smoltz. Yeah, 0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:17.079 you had been a Ron Smoltz. But Ay Roth's not 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:19.840 the biggest fan of Dan from I think ay I 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:22.159 would agree with that. But you you're you're kind of 0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:24.800 like in the family a little bit NBC Sports and yeah, 0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:26.520 you know we had out there like, oh am, it's 0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:28.360 up there. He's friendly to the show. But then you 0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:30.760 also have a history with baseball tonight in the MLB Tonight. 0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:33.760 I worked at MLB Network, right, what was had to 0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:35.199 give it to them? What was in the envelope when 0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:37.400 you opened it? It was just blank. It was to 0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:39.640 give it to Yeah, they didn't even need to be nominated. 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.599 They were like to think of any television show, sports 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:44.639 or not and give it to them. And I gave 0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:48.360 it to MLB Network. No, I mean, it's don't don't 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:51.440 you It's an honor to be nominated. Do you guys 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:53.400 still say that? Are you over that? Now? We did 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:55.120 that year one and two. That was our bit. But 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:57.040 what I'm going to be nominated was year one and two. 0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:59.920 I think, are you presenting this year? You know, I 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:01.840 don't know. That might have been a one year thing, 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:05.520 maybe a one year a presenter. How tough was it 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:07.480 to hide your disappointment when you didn't see that Dan 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:09.679 Patrick show on that piece of paper there? I mean, 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.280 very difficult, so I could imagine there were tears in 0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:14.480 my eyes. You are you were able to somehow get 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.240 past that moment? Yeah? Well, the thing about it being 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:19.440 an honor to be nominated, it would be an honor, 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.319 but it's well, I guess these small, little podunk shows 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:24.839 that don't have any resources behind them, like Sports Center. 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:26.680 You ever heard of that? Yes, it's an honor to 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:28.640 be that. This list is crazy. When I look at 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:31.280 the card, I'm like, wait us, yes, it's a huge honor. 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:35.720 We've we've already won. Uh yeah, no, no, no, no, 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:39.160 that I don't feel that way. I do have two emmies. 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:40.680 I'll tell you what it feels like to win. It 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:43.760 feels great. It feels really good, exactly like what we 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:45.960 would think would be. You say you don't care until 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.000 you get one and then Seaton, you do care? So 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:50.600 are you two for two with nominations or have you 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:52.640 lost before? So? I think so, I think I'm two 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:54.080 for two. I didn't now see you don't even I 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.760 got these in the Bay Area. Um, I'm not a 0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:58.680 huge Emmy guy, which you can say when you've won 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:00.520 two Emmies, you're like, I'm not a huge like people 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:02.600 who are richer, like you don't need money to be happy. 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:04.520 You know. It's the same thing. It's like Emmy's aren't 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:06.480 the end all be all? But I have two of them, 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.000 by the way, Um, so that they were. They were 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:12.120 for the parades. I we covered the San Francisco Giants 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:14.839 World Series parade and then we covered the Golden State 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:19.520 Warriors parade, and I was I was probably one half 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.880 of one percent of both of those shows. But I 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.960 got an Emmy. And how many hours a day for 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:27.440 days and weeks and months on end did you cover 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:29.200 that parade? How many prayer was a one person one 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.280 day just waltzed in there. There's like one really good 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.679 day twice. Yeah, and I didn't even do that much. 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:36.600 We've had two good days in the history of this show. 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:38.640 We didn't get awards with them. At least that should 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:41.359 have been our submission. I guess for the real or 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:45.360 two good days. So you're halfway. You're halfway to Joe Montana. 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:47.000 As a Bay guy, you're just gonna know the next 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:48.520 two you went, the next two. That's four in a row. 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:50.040 It's I have to go back. I have to go 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:54.080 back and win two more more impressive accomplishment, your Emmy's 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:57.519 or or Joe Montana's rings. We did the thing with 0:02:57.600 --> 0:02:59.839 Montana once because you know, you haven't lost an Emmy. 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.000 You don't know what it's like. We're deep into that, 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.400 and you know, Joe Montana doesn't come off cocky. But 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:06.440 Dan asked him, would you rather be four and oh, 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.120 which you are in the Super Bowls, or like six 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:12.880 and three? Like um, Tom Brady, so you have more 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:14.560 but you lost a few. He goes, what do you think? 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:16.720 And Joe goes, well, I never lost a Super Bowl. 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:18.560 I can't really comment on losing a super Bowl. But 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.720 the way he said it was like we're all joking, like, oh, 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.040 Joe Montana's talking smack. What was it like for you 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:25.240 guys to lose an Emmy? It's just inconceivable to me. 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.200 It's even try to think of that, what that would 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:30.440 be like? No, I mean they're all cool, isn't it 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:33.720 kind of sad though, you see, like Joe Montana, it's 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:35.640 all these athletes for so I think of this all 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.320 the time of being an athlete and your whole life. 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.520 It's like, you are the best. You are the best 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:42.960 in your community, you're the best in your school. You 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.360 go into the pros and you're one of the best 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:48.280 on your team, and then by the time you're thirty 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.120 five or forty, it's all over. And then it's all 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.800 your accomplishments at that point. And then even at that 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.640 point you're Joe Montana, your accomplishments are now being passed 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.520 by someone else. It's a rough light. You make a 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:02.920 lot of money, but it's a rough life. Guys aren't 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.360 retiring earlier anymore, except for you know, a few quarterbacks 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.040 are like, but like, now the guys are playing forty, 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:11.520 eating healthier mclovin. So we're like, we're kind of like 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:13.880 Dan Marino and you're kind of like Eli Manning or 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:17.720 Jim Plunkett as yeah, or Jim Kelly four in a 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.040 row did this start? Jim Kelly yere he went to 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.479 four in a row that didn't work out too well though, 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:27.440 that fourth would you here's here's the here's the question, Paulie. 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:34.320 Would you rather be nominated ten more times or and 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.680 never win it? Or get nominated just one more time? 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.480 Win it and then the show is kind of like, okay, 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:44.480 after that doesn't really get recognized. Right. So if we 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:46.599 want it this year and never got a nomination again, 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:48.320 you win it this year. You're at the top. You 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:50.640 beat Sports Center, you beat MLB tonight, you beat all 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.159 the great shows out there. And after that you fall 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.520 off a little bit. You get complacent, as many people do, 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:58.440 not me after winning an Emmy, but many people do. 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:01.880 And then you don't get nominated every game. I could 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:03.839 speak for the guys here. I think we've got a 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:05.760 lot of room on our mantles, and you can't put 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:08.080 an Emmy nomination on your mantle. It's like a piece 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.600 of paper. I think it's an email actually, but a trophy. 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:15.680 It's up there forever. So the trophy, Yeah, all day, 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.359 all day, just that one and then never get nominated. 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:21.480 That's good. I'm cool. We were surprised we got nominated 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:24.040 in the first place. Definitely, we went shocked. We went 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:27.680 eleven years without the nomination, and those are actually the 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:31.520 years that we probably should have won. I'm with you, guys, 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.280 sustained success. You don't need to be at the top 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:38.200 of the mountain. Number two gets a silver medal Fritzie. 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.760 But there seemed to be said for the Emmy Award 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.040 winning Dan Patrick's Show, even if it happened once as 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:46.520 opposed to the seventeen time fourteen time nomination. No one's 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:49.479 gonna even say that is to introduce the show. Good points. 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:50.640 That are all good points. Do you know what the 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:52.240 worst part of this actually is, though, is that the 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:56.000 voting's already done, and so, like you, somebody out there 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.280 already knows and they could be listening to us right now, 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:03.080 and they're like, oh gosh, I'm so sorry. Guys. So 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:06.320 they call up the other person who already knows. They're like, hey, 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:08.200 did you hear they're doing it again this year? Right, No, 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:11.000 four years in a row, and they're gonna lose. They're 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:12.560 gonna be so said, but it will be a segment 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.080 and it will be motivation for them in the future. Yeah, 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.600 it'll be a good thing. This is the Dan Patrick Show. 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:21.279 I'm not Dan Patrick A Momed Freed from NBC Sports. 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:23.600 I always tell people I was like, you've probably seen 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:27.200 me on NBC Sports, and there's no chance you remember me. 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.120 I like swoop in and I do a few things 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:33.520 here and there. I do horse racing when when Mike 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.559 Tarco's not there, I do Premier League with a great 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:38.839 Rebecca Lowe, who've you've had on the show here the 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.360 past two days? Is not there? I do some NHL 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:45.080 playoffs when Leah mckw and Katherine Tappen's not there. I 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:48.200 have a slogan, guys. My slogan is like, when your 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:51.159 favorite host is gone, Ahmed Fred shows up, that's me. 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.840 I'm that guy. If he's not there, I'm there exactly. 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.919 And it's happening again today. Dan Patrick's not here, michaelov 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:58.880 and Avid Fried shows up. So she'd done Football Night 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:02.000 in America. How have That's a pretty big audience? Yes? 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:04.800 Does that make it nervous at all? Yes? Yeah? You 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.400 and you can't think about it. You can't think about 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:09.479 it going in. When I got the call to do 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:12.960 Football Night in America, I've done it one time and 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.560 I got the call two days before, which I'm very 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.120 happy about. If I knew a month before that I 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:19.920 was doing Football Night in America. I would not have 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:21.880 made it to the show. I would have gained a 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.160 lot of weight. I would have gotten into drinking heavily. Again, 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.200 it was like I would not have been myself going 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:29.520 into the show. So no, I was nervous. But you 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:31.600 know what's funny, It's like I got in there and 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.000 I told myself, I was like, I might never do 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:36.400 the show ever again. This might be the one and 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.720 only time. What a great career. Right, If I mess 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:41.600 it up, my career is over. But what a great 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:45.360 career this has been. And so honestly it was in 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.320 a weird way, I was more relaxed doing that show 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:49.880 than some other shows because I was like, this is 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:52.000 just a one off deal and if I screw it up, 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:54.239 I probably wasn't going to do the show ever again. Anyway, 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.880 and it went fine. It went fine. I didn't mess 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:01.080 it up. Chris Simms was to my life left and 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:02.520 I think at the end of the show the best 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:06.080 compliment I got was, Wow, I'm you actually did pretty well. 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:08.880 It was like expectations were that low. Was that from 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:12.160 like family members or from executive yeah, co workers, bosses, 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.680 uh my, mom my wife. They go, you actually looked 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:18.120 pretty comfortable and relaxed out there. You pass out there 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:22.840 was the whole time. It was shocking. Years ago. I 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.520 remember when it was Scott van Pelt's first week at 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.360 Sports Center and Dan and some others helped bring him 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:30.240 up from the Golf Channel and he was in the 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:32.719 chair and we were kind of watching to see how 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:34.719 he do in his first Sports Center and he was 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:36.439 the coolest guy in the room. He's like and he 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:38.320 said the same. He goes, I can't believe I'm here. 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.520 He goes, I was in a fraternity house in Maryland 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.839 seven years ago, you know, playing video games. And he goes, 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:45.840 now I'm hosting Sports Center. Goes, I'm gonna have some 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:47.640 fun because this is gonna be one and done, and 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:49.120 you're gonna send me back to Orlando to work on 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:51.200 the Golf Channel. They didn't let him go back. Same 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:53.720 thing here today. It's like, I'll leave and the code 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:56.840 will be different to the gate getting in here. I'll 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.440 be on the outside looking in. Mclovin. Yeah, Twitter, I 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.080 didn't sense like those super nerves to sit in this 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.120 chair like Football Night America. I didn't feel like you 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:07.560 knew a while ago. I didn't send you were as 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.200 scared as football. I didn't know that. Oh, I didn't 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:11.520 know a while ago. You're right, it was like a 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:17.000 month ago. Definitely compartmentalize it the whole thing. Um, But 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.000 look at my fitbit. I bet the heart rates up 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:20.880 a little bit. Resting heart rate fifty five. I bet 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:28.400 we're up into the sixties right now. Fit on radio. Yeah, exactly. Okay, 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:30.640 So we got oh, I can't wait for this. Coming 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:33.600 up in a little bit, probably like ten minutes from now. 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:36.280 We got Robbie Earl, who I've worked with the past 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:39.000 few days over at NBC Sports covers the Premier League 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:40.960 has been part of the Premier League coverage for so long. 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.880 We'll talk about the death of the Super League. It's 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.240 like done. I cannot believe that we are almost done 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:49.000 talking about this story. That it came and it went 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:50.480 and that fast. And I think he's going to be 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:54.160 us as shocked about that as I am. We'll talk 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.360 Matt Mayoko coming up a little bit later. He covers 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.120 the forty nine Ers for NBC Sports Bay Area. My 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:03.160 old dumping grounds out there in San Francisco. The forty 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:07.079 nine ers hold the key to the draft in some respects. 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.160 What quarterback are they going to pick there at number three? 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:11.800 Is it going to be Mac Jones or some of 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:14.520 those teams that fell in love with the athletic ability 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:16.360 of Justin Fields and Trey Land's going to have a 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:19.840 chance to trade up with Atlanta or who knows the Bengals, 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.480 or get into the top five or six and get 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.200 one of those mobile quarterbacks. So we'll talk about that 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:27.040 with Matt. We'll see if the forty nine ers thinking 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:30.000 has has changed at all. I really enjoyed guys. You're 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:35.240 brainstorming the rule changes, the rule ideas because the NFL 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:37.160 every year, and I give them a lot of credit, 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.400 and this is what I hammer baseball about sometimes is 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.640 that the NFL is the most popular sport in America, 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.560 but year to year they are not afraid to change 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:52.240 it up a little bit. So baseball is getting there. 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:56.520 They are making some tweaks in the minor leagues. Of course, 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.640 we have the three batter minimum and the universal DH. 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:02.080 I think the problem with with baseball that they have 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:05.880 is that fans go crazy if you change one little 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:08.719 tiny thing. You're a big baseball guy. I would say 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.520 this whole room and Dan we heard about and watching 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:14.720 it this year, the starting extra innings with a person 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.520 on a player on second base. It feels hoky, it 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:19.960 feels gimmicky, and it doesn't feel like at all natural. 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:22.720 You guys hate it, You guys at the absolutely awful. 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:24.839 It's like putting an overtime of a hockey game, but 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.199 goal is almost going to touch the line and someone 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.800 just gotta gonna push it in, and that like counts 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:31.480 like you accomplished. But how do you so how do 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:33.280 you play a runner in scoring position that didn't earn 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:36.520 the right to be there? Here's my opinion. You've had 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:40.520 nine innings and three hours, maybe sometimes four hours to 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.320 get more runs than the other team. If you can't 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:46.319 do it in that amount of time, we're gonna move 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:48.079 things along. But the people at the game have the 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:50.240 right to leave. It's not like a controlled atmosphere. They 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:52.280 couldn't just check out after the ninth Ye what if 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:54.040 it was, Yeah, you have to once you get into 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.360 the stadium. But anyone who's there in the eleventh ending 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:58.600 has nothing else going on. Believe me, I've been one 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:00.320 of those guys. You know what's funny is that that 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:04.000 is one of the big problems with making drastic changes 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.120 with baseball. They've done surveys of this in the past. 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:10.520 I believe where the in person audience for a baseball game, 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:12.040 you go to the game, you pay for tickets, you 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:14.559 pay for the hot dog, they don't care. They the 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:16.719 game can go four hours. And I'm the same way, 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:18.199 right if I'm going to take my kids to a game, 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:19.400 I don't want this game to be over in an 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:21.480 hour and forty five minutes. I want to enjoy it. 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.440 I'm gonna get there for batting practice and see even 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.080 more of it. And so I get that the at 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:29.199 home viewer, which we all know there are more of 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:32.240 than in stadium viewers, they don't want that. They don't 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:34.360 want a four hour game. And I agree with that 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:36.000 as well. Like if I'm at home and I'm watching 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:37.640 a baseball game, I would like to see the end 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:39.240 of it. And if I have to put my kids 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:40.400 to bed and I don't get to see the end, 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.640 that's a that's a bummer for me. Seton, It's just 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:44.840 never a good sign though, when you're going through your 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:48.080 rule changes, right and you're like, how do we get 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:51.320 this over with faster? How do we just get the 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:53.280 game over faster? We got to do something, all right, Yeah, 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:55.360 started putting runners on base then you know, all right, 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.200 you know what, Yeah, if we're playing two games that day, 0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.200 let's cut a couple of innings off and only go 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.720 seven for each them, because god, the game it just 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:03.720 takes way too long. There's something to be said about 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:07.240 that whole leave people wanting more like baseball never has 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:11.679 that problem. There's definitely fat there that they do need 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.480 to trim that you wouldn't even lose any action. It's 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:17.880 like it's I if the game was you know, batted 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:21.800 balls and play and all that sort of jazz for 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:25.839 four hours, you probably don't get as heated about it. Um, 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:27.920 But you're right. I mean, there's something about that. But 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.880 when you play one hundred and sixty two, Fritzie, that's 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:32.600 a little different too. You have to move. But when 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:34.120 you're playing with shifts and stuff like that, and you're 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:36.760 changing the strategy, you're telling managers or coaches where you 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.120 can and can't. You know, after doing all the studying 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.080 to figure out where that if he pulls it or not, 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:43.240 or you know it hits an opposite field, you tell 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:46.800 him you can't maybe have the players playing in certain spots. 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.280 I mean that that's no different than the NFL line 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.360 of scrimmage. You can be here, you can't be there. 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:54.240 You can only have this many guys split out, you 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:57.200 can only have this many in here. NBA illegal defense 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.160 for years. I know they change that, but actually I 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:01.520 think I do so NBA has it. Why can't baseball 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.360 have a rule? Yeah, and every I think every rule 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:07.439 change feels hokey when you first start doing it. The 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.160 college overtime. I don't know if people like that or 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.920 don't like that, but felt hokey at first, But the 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:14.960 more you get it, and this is my argument all 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:18.200 the time, baseball rules are already hokey. Just because they've 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:21.360 been around forever doesn't make them less hokey. The Balk rule, 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:23.960 the fact that you can run to first base on 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:27.640 a strikeout, but except when the base is occupied, except 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:29.280 when there's two outs, then you can do it anyway. 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:31.360 I mean, there are all like made up hokey rules, 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:34.800 but just because they've been around for a long time seaton, 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.000 we just kind of accept it. We accept them. Yeah. 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:38.960 I also don't think it's ever a good thing, though, 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:40.640 to be like Hey, the NFL does it, we should 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:43.520 do it too, because the NFL, by far has the dumbest, 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:47.560 most confusing rules of any sport ever. If you ask something, 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:50.320 if you just if an alien came down here and 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:53.120 landed and said, can you explain football to me? What's 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.280 happening on a single play? You could never do it, 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:58.200 never explain all of the rules that they're like, Oh no, 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:00.560 this guy, Yeah, you can hit him, but within these 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:02.720 couple of yards, and then after that then it's a penalty. 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:04.720 But then if you jump over this line too. It's 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:07.680 what it's like me trying to learn rugby and I 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:09.640 cover that and talk about it on TV. Oh he 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:11.160 did that guy he caught the ball. Yeah, but he 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:13.640 didn't identify himself as a receiver based on where he 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:16.120 lined up. What you go, you'll you'll get it. You 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.160 just have to follow it for forty years. It was 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.800 so easy, so simple. I don't know if anyone here 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:22.880 knows cricket. I've watched cricket a few times on TV 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:25.320 and it just washes over me because I don't understand 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:27.520 what's going on. It looks like they're having a great time. Yeah, 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:30.240 everyone's dressed really nicely. And that takes a lot. I 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:34.280 mean that can take days. Correct me if I'm wrong, right, yeah, yeah, 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:37.600 we started today and we finished on Tuesday, but didn't 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:39.760 go all night. Right, they go to sleep at some point. 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:41.600 I don't know. I don't know that for a fact. 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:43.480 Here's one of the new NFL rules that was kind 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:46.360 of sneaky in the bottom. A new point of emphasis 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.560 this year is taunting. In twenty twenty one, you know 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:51.800 the taunting rule. If you taunt, it's a fifteen yard penalty. 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:56.560 Emphasis would be directed at celebrations, not at celebrations, but 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:59.960 toward acrimonious interaction between players. So that means if you're 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:04.320 celebrating while catching a pass next to someone, that's not 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:07.280 necessarily taunting. It's got to be directed at the person. 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:11.160 So emphasis would be directed not at celebrations, but at 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:15.920 acrimonious interaction. It's a big word for football, toward the player, 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:19.080 So taunting is going to be more directly at a person, 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:22.560 towards the person, then amongst a person. I feel like 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:24.880 that's the way they've called it to this point. They 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:27.120 gave a few examples on NFL Network and they said, like, 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.160 let's say you catch a pass over the middle and 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:31.800 you kind of stand next to the person with your 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.720 arms out like I caught it. Yeah, celebrating. If you're 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:36.560 looking up in a way or looking towards your teammates, 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:38.480 they're probably not going to call that. If you're looking 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:41.000 down and giving the guide a long stare, they're going 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.680 to call it more direct taunting. I find it very 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:45.440 music how he went from the no fund league. Now 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:47.400 they actually have screens in the end zone so the 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:49.960 team can get together and take like a giant selfie 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.200 and pose and do all kinds of theatrics. When not 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:54.680 too long ago even thought of doing that. They're ready 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:56.400 to throw a flag at it because you're taunt through 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:58.480 the other team, and they go, oh, people actually like it, 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:00.720 and they will spend more money. Well, we'll be a 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:04.040 fun league now. Baseball had something what was it, Nick 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:07.200 Castianos for the Reds. Did you see that when he 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:10.960 had a collision at home plate with a pitcher who 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:14.119 had hit him earlier in the game, and he just 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:16.320 kind of stood over him and flexed his arms and 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:20.399 looked down him, and Baseball gave Nick a suspension. I 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:22.640 think it was two games or something like that. Yeah, 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:24.560 he basically just stood up over the top of the 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:26.879 pitcher and the power flex And there are a lot 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:28.439 of people out there that says, this is why baseball 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:30.960 is not popular. It's just like, let emotion happen. And 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:34.160 I agree with that, and I think emotion is good, 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.159 and I think baseball has been behind on that. But 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:38.600 I do think there's a there's a line right when 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:41.560 you are standing over someone flexing on him. I think 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:44.320
