Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. It was our third straight year being nominated
Speaker 1: for the Best Studio Show, Best Daily Studio Show, and
Speaker 1: we'd lost before. And I think Seton was a year
Speaker 1: one that a Rod opened the envelope with Smoltz. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you had been a Ron Smoltz. But Ay Roth's not
Speaker 1: the biggest fan of Dan from I think ay I
Speaker 1: would agree with that. But you you're you're kind of
Speaker 1: like in the family a little bit NBC Sports and yeah,
Speaker 1: you know we had out there like, oh am, it's
Speaker 1: up there. He's friendly to the show. But then you
Speaker 1: also have a history with baseball tonight in the MLB Tonight.
Speaker 1: I worked at MLB Network, right, what was had to
Speaker 1: give it to them? What was in the envelope when
Speaker 1: you opened it? It was just blank. It was to
Speaker 1: give it to Yeah, they didn't even need to be nominated.
Speaker 1: They were like to think of any television show, sports
Speaker 1: or not and give it to them. And I gave
Speaker 1: it to MLB Network. No, I mean, it's don't don't
Speaker 1: you It's an honor to be nominated. Do you guys
Speaker 1: still say that? Are you over that? Now? We did
Speaker 1: that year one and two. That was our bit. But
Speaker 1: what I'm going to be nominated was year one and two.
Speaker 1: I think, are you presenting this year? You know, I
Speaker 1: don't know. That might have been a one year thing,
Speaker 1: maybe a one year a presenter. How tough was it
Speaker 1: to hide your disappointment when you didn't see that Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick show on that piece of paper there? I mean,
Speaker 1: very difficult, so I could imagine there were tears in
Speaker 1: my eyes. You are you were able to somehow get
Speaker 1: past that moment? Yeah? Well, the thing about it being
Speaker 1: an honor to be nominated, it would be an honor,
Speaker 1: but it's well, I guess these small, little podunk shows
Speaker 1: that don't have any resources behind them, like Sports Center.
Speaker 1: You ever heard of that? Yes, it's an honor to
Speaker 1: be that. This list is crazy. When I look at
Speaker 1: the card, I'm like, wait us, yes, it's a huge honor.
Speaker 1: We've we've already won. Uh yeah, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: that I don't feel that way. I do have two emmies.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what it feels like to win. It
Speaker 1: feels great. It feels really good, exactly like what we
Speaker 1: would think would be. You say you don't care until
Speaker 1: you get one and then Seaton, you do care? So
Speaker 1: are you two for two with nominations or have you
Speaker 1: lost before? So? I think so, I think I'm two
Speaker 1: for two. I didn't now see you don't even I
Speaker 1: got these in the Bay Area. Um, I'm not a
Speaker 1: huge Emmy guy, which you can say when you've won
Speaker 1: two Emmies, you're like, I'm not a huge like people
Speaker 1: who are richer, like you don't need money to be happy.
Speaker 1: You know. It's the same thing. It's like Emmy's aren't
Speaker 1: the end all be all? But I have two of them,
Speaker 1: by the way, Um, so that they were. They were
Speaker 1: for the parades. I we covered the San Francisco Giants
Speaker 1: World Series parade and then we covered the Golden State
Speaker 1: Warriors parade, and I was I was probably one half
Speaker 1: of one percent of both of those shows. But I
Speaker 1: got an Emmy. And how many hours a day for
Speaker 1: days and weeks and months on end did you cover
Speaker 1: that parade? How many prayer was a one person one
Speaker 1: day just waltzed in there. There's like one really good
Speaker 1: day twice. Yeah, and I didn't even do that much.
Speaker 1: We've had two good days in the history of this show.
Speaker 1: We didn't get awards with them. At least that should
Speaker 1: have been our submission. I guess for the real or
Speaker 1: two good days. So you're halfway. You're halfway to Joe Montana.
Speaker 1: As a Bay guy, you're just gonna know the next
Speaker 1: two you went, the next two. That's four in a row.
Speaker 1: It's I have to go back. I have to go
Speaker 1: back and win two more more impressive accomplishment, your Emmy's
Speaker 1: or or Joe Montana's rings. We did the thing with
Speaker 1: Montana once because you know, you haven't lost an Emmy.
Speaker 1: You don't know what it's like. We're deep into that,
Speaker 1: and you know, Joe Montana doesn't come off cocky. But
Speaker 1: Dan asked him, would you rather be four and oh,
Speaker 1: which you are in the Super Bowls, or like six
Speaker 1: and three? Like um, Tom Brady, so you have more
Speaker 1: but you lost a few. He goes, what do you think?
Speaker 1: And Joe goes, well, I never lost a Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: I can't really comment on losing a super Bowl. But
Speaker 1: the way he said it was like we're all joking, like, oh,
Speaker 1: Joe Montana's talking smack. What was it like for you
Speaker 1: guys to lose an Emmy? It's just inconceivable to me.
Speaker 1: It's even try to think of that, what that would
Speaker 1: be like? No, I mean they're all cool, isn't it
Speaker 1: kind of sad though, you see, like Joe Montana, it's
Speaker 1: all these athletes for so I think of this all
Speaker 1: the time of being an athlete and your whole life.
Speaker 1: It's like, you are the best. You are the best
Speaker 1: in your community, you're the best in your school. You
Speaker 1: go into the pros and you're one of the best
Speaker 1: on your team, and then by the time you're thirty
Speaker 1: five or forty, it's all over. And then it's all
Speaker 1: your accomplishments at that point. And then even at that
Speaker 1: point you're Joe Montana, your accomplishments are now being passed
Speaker 1: by someone else. It's a rough light. You make a
Speaker 1: lot of money, but it's a rough life. Guys aren't
Speaker 1: retiring earlier anymore, except for you know, a few quarterbacks
Speaker 1: are like, but like, now the guys are playing forty,
Speaker 1: eating healthier mclovin. So we're like, we're kind of like
Speaker 1: Dan Marino and you're kind of like Eli Manning or
Speaker 1: Jim Plunkett as yeah, or Jim Kelly four in a
Speaker 1: row did this start? Jim Kelly yere he went to
Speaker 1: four in a row that didn't work out too well though,
Speaker 1: that fourth would you here's here's the here's the question, Paulie.
Speaker 1: Would you rather be nominated ten more times or and
Speaker 1: never win it? Or get nominated just one more time?
Speaker 1: Win it and then the show is kind of like, okay,
Speaker 1: after that doesn't really get recognized. Right. So if we
Speaker 1: want it this year and never got a nomination again,
Speaker 1: you win it this year. You're at the top. You
Speaker 1: beat Sports Center, you beat MLB tonight, you beat all
Speaker 1: the great shows out there. And after that you fall
Speaker 1: off a little bit. You get complacent, as many people do,
Speaker 1: not me after winning an Emmy, but many people do.
Speaker 1: And then you don't get nominated every game. I could
Speaker 1: speak for the guys here. I think we've got a
Speaker 1: lot of room on our mantles, and you can't put
Speaker 1: an Emmy nomination on your mantle. It's like a piece
Speaker 1: of paper. I think it's an email actually, but a trophy.
Speaker 1: It's up there forever. So the trophy, Yeah, all day,
Speaker 1: all day, just that one and then never get nominated.
Speaker 1: That's good. I'm cool. We were surprised we got nominated
Speaker 1: in the first place. Definitely, we went shocked. We went
Speaker 1: eleven years without the nomination, and those are actually the
Speaker 1: years that we probably should have won. I'm with you, guys,
Speaker 1: sustained success. You don't need to be at the top
Speaker 1: of the mountain. Number two gets a silver medal Fritzie.
Speaker 1: But there seemed to be said for the Emmy Award
Speaker 1: winning Dan Patrick's Show, even if it happened once as
Speaker 1: opposed to the seventeen time fourteen time nomination. No one's
Speaker 1: gonna even say that is to introduce the show. Good points.
Speaker 1: That are all good points. Do you know what the
Speaker 1: worst part of this actually is, though, is that the
Speaker 1: voting's already done, and so, like you, somebody out there
Speaker 1: already knows and they could be listening to us right now,
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh gosh, I'm so sorry. Guys. So
Speaker 1: they call up the other person who already knows. They're like, hey,
Speaker 1: did you hear they're doing it again this year? Right, No,
Speaker 1: four years in a row, and they're gonna lose. They're
Speaker 1: gonna be so said, but it will be a segment
Speaker 1: and it will be motivation for them in the future. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it'll be a good thing. This is the Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1: I'm not Dan Patrick A Momed Freed from NBC Sports.
Speaker 1: I always tell people I was like, you've probably seen
Speaker 1: me on NBC Sports, and there's no chance you remember me.
Speaker 1: I like swoop in and I do a few things
Speaker 1: here and there. I do horse racing when when Mike
Speaker 1: Tarco's not there, I do Premier League with a great
Speaker 1: Rebecca Lowe, who've you've had on the show here the
Speaker 1: past two days? Is not there? I do some NHL
Speaker 1: playoffs when Leah mckw and Katherine Tappen's not there. I
Speaker 1: have a slogan, guys. My slogan is like, when your
Speaker 1: favorite host is gone, Ahmed Fred shows up, that's me.
Speaker 1: I'm that guy. If he's not there, I'm there exactly.
Speaker 1: And it's happening again today. Dan Patrick's not here, michaelov
Speaker 1: and Avid Fried shows up. So she'd done Football Night
Speaker 1: in America. How have That's a pretty big audience? Yes?
Speaker 1: Does that make it nervous at all? Yes? Yeah? You
Speaker 1: and you can't think about it. You can't think about
Speaker 1: it going in. When I got the call to do
Speaker 1: Football Night in America, I've done it one time and
Speaker 1: I got the call two days before, which I'm very
Speaker 1: happy about. If I knew a month before that I
Speaker 1: was doing Football Night in America. I would not have
Speaker 1: made it to the show. I would have gained a
Speaker 1: lot of weight. I would have gotten into drinking heavily. Again,
Speaker 1: it was like I would not have been myself going
Speaker 1: into the show. So no, I was nervous. But you
Speaker 1: know what's funny, It's like I got in there and
Speaker 1: I told myself, I was like, I might never do
Speaker 1: the show ever again. This might be the one and
Speaker 1: only time. What a great career. Right, If I mess
Speaker 1: it up, my career is over. But what a great
Speaker 1: career this has been. And so honestly it was in
Speaker 1: a weird way, I was more relaxed doing that show
Speaker 1: than some other shows because I was like, this is
Speaker 1: just a one off deal and if I screw it up,
Speaker 1: I probably wasn't going to do the show ever again. Anyway,
Speaker 1: and it went fine. It went fine. I didn't mess
Speaker 1: it up. Chris Simms was to my life left and
Speaker 1: I think at the end of the show the best
Speaker 1: compliment I got was, Wow, I'm you actually did pretty well.
Speaker 1: It was like expectations were that low. Was that from
Speaker 1: like family members or from executive yeah, co workers, bosses,
Speaker 1: uh my, mom my wife. They go, you actually looked
Speaker 1: pretty comfortable and relaxed out there. You pass out there
Speaker 1: was the whole time. It was shocking. Years ago. I
Speaker 1: remember when it was Scott van Pelt's first week at
Speaker 1: Sports Center and Dan and some others helped bring him
Speaker 1: up from the Golf Channel and he was in the
Speaker 1: chair and we were kind of watching to see how
Speaker 1: he do in his first Sports Center and he was
Speaker 1: the coolest guy in the room. He's like and he
Speaker 1: said the same. He goes, I can't believe I'm here.
Speaker 1: He goes, I was in a fraternity house in Maryland
Speaker 1: seven years ago, you know, playing video games. And he goes,
Speaker 1: now I'm hosting Sports Center. Goes, I'm gonna have some
Speaker 1: fun because this is gonna be one and done, and
Speaker 1: you're gonna send me back to Orlando to work on
Speaker 1: the Golf Channel. They didn't let him go back. Same
Speaker 1: thing here today. It's like, I'll leave and the code
Speaker 1: will be different to the gate getting in here. I'll
Speaker 1: be on the outside looking in. Mclovin. Yeah, Twitter, I
Speaker 1: didn't sense like those super nerves to sit in this
Speaker 1: chair like Football Night America. I didn't feel like you
Speaker 1: knew a while ago. I didn't send you were as
Speaker 1: scared as football. I didn't know that. Oh, I didn't
Speaker 1: know a while ago. You're right, it was like a
Speaker 1: month ago. Definitely compartmentalize it the whole thing. Um, But
Speaker 1: look at my fitbit. I bet the heart rates up
Speaker 1: a little bit. Resting heart rate fifty five. I bet
Speaker 1: we're up into the sixties right now. Fit on radio. Yeah, exactly. Okay,
Speaker 1: So we got oh, I can't wait for this. Coming
Speaker 1: up in a little bit, probably like ten minutes from now.
Speaker 1: We got Robbie Earl, who I've worked with the past
Speaker 1: few days over at NBC Sports covers the Premier League
Speaker 1: has been part of the Premier League coverage for so long.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the death of the Super League. It's
Speaker 1: like done. I cannot believe that we are almost done
Speaker 1: talking about this story. That it came and it went
Speaker 1: and that fast. And I think he's going to be
Speaker 1: us as shocked about that as I am. We'll talk
Speaker 1: Matt Mayoko coming up a little bit later. He covers
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers for NBC Sports Bay Area. My
Speaker 1: old dumping grounds out there in San Francisco. The forty
Speaker 1: nine ers hold the key to the draft in some respects.
Speaker 1: What quarterback are they going to pick there at number three?
Speaker 1: Is it going to be Mac Jones or some of
Speaker 1: those teams that fell in love with the athletic ability
Speaker 1: of Justin Fields and Trey Land's going to have a
Speaker 1: chance to trade up with Atlanta or who knows the Bengals,
Speaker 1: or get into the top five or six and get
Speaker 1: one of those mobile quarterbacks. So we'll talk about that
Speaker 1: with Matt. We'll see if the forty nine ers thinking
Speaker 1: has has changed at all. I really enjoyed guys. You're
Speaker 1: brainstorming the rule changes, the rule ideas because the NFL
Speaker 1: every year, and I give them a lot of credit,
Speaker 1: and this is what I hammer baseball about sometimes is
Speaker 1: that the NFL is the most popular sport in America,
Speaker 1: but year to year they are not afraid to change
Speaker 1: it up a little bit. So baseball is getting there.
Speaker 1: They are making some tweaks in the minor leagues. Of course,
Speaker 1: we have the three batter minimum and the universal DH.
Speaker 1: I think the problem with with baseball that they have
Speaker 1: is that fans go crazy if you change one little
Speaker 1: tiny thing. You're a big baseball guy. I would say
Speaker 1: this whole room and Dan we heard about and watching
Speaker 1: it this year, the starting extra innings with a person
Speaker 1: on a player on second base. It feels hoky, it
Speaker 1: feels gimmicky, and it doesn't feel like at all natural.
Speaker 1: You guys hate it, You guys at the absolutely awful.
Speaker 1: It's like putting an overtime of a hockey game, but
Speaker 1: goal is almost going to touch the line and someone
Speaker 1: just gotta gonna push it in, and that like counts
Speaker 1: like you accomplished. But how do you so how do
Speaker 1: you play a runner in scoring position that didn't earn
Speaker 1: the right to be there? Here's my opinion. You've had
Speaker 1: nine innings and three hours, maybe sometimes four hours to
Speaker 1: get more runs than the other team. If you can't
Speaker 1: do it in that amount of time, we're gonna move
Speaker 1: things along. But the people at the game have the
Speaker 1: right to leave. It's not like a controlled atmosphere. They
Speaker 1: couldn't just check out after the ninth Ye what if
Speaker 1: it was, Yeah, you have to once you get into
Speaker 1: the stadium. But anyone who's there in the eleventh ending
Speaker 1: has nothing else going on. Believe me, I've been one
Speaker 1: of those guys. You know what's funny is that that
Speaker 1: is one of the big problems with making drastic changes
Speaker 1: with baseball. They've done surveys of this in the past.
Speaker 1: I believe where the in person audience for a baseball game,
Speaker 1: you go to the game, you pay for tickets, you
Speaker 1: pay for the hot dog, they don't care. They the
Speaker 1: game can go four hours. And I'm the same way,
Speaker 1: right if I'm going to take my kids to a game,
Speaker 1: I don't want this game to be over in an
Speaker 1: hour and forty five minutes. I want to enjoy it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get there for batting practice and see even
Speaker 1: more of it. And so I get that the at
Speaker 1: home viewer, which we all know there are more of
Speaker 1: than in stadium viewers, they don't want that. They don't
Speaker 1: want a four hour game. And I agree with that
Speaker 1: as well. Like if I'm at home and I'm watching
Speaker 1: a baseball game, I would like to see the end
Speaker 1: of it. And if I have to put my kids
Speaker 1: to bed and I don't get to see the end,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a bummer for me. Seton, It's just
Speaker 1: never a good sign though, when you're going through your
Speaker 1: rule changes, right and you're like, how do we get
Speaker 1: this over with faster? How do we just get the
Speaker 1: game over faster? We got to do something, all right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: started putting runners on base then you know, all right,
Speaker 1: you know what, Yeah, if we're playing two games that day,
Speaker 1: let's cut a couple of innings off and only go
Speaker 1: seven for each them, because god, the game it just
Speaker 1: takes way too long. There's something to be said about
Speaker 1: that whole leave people wanting more like baseball never has
Speaker 1: that problem. There's definitely fat there that they do need
Speaker 1: to trim that you wouldn't even lose any action. It's
Speaker 1: like it's I if the game was you know, batted
Speaker 1: balls and play and all that sort of jazz for
Speaker 1: four hours, you probably don't get as heated about it. Um,
Speaker 1: But you're right. I mean, there's something about that. But
Speaker 1: when you play one hundred and sixty two, Fritzie, that's
Speaker 1: a little different too. You have to move. But when
Speaker 1: you're playing with shifts and stuff like that, and you're
Speaker 1: changing the strategy, you're telling managers or coaches where you
Speaker 1: can and can't. You know, after doing all the studying
Speaker 1: to figure out where that if he pulls it or not,
Speaker 1: or you know it hits an opposite field, you tell
Speaker 1: him you can't maybe have the players playing in certain spots.
Speaker 1: I mean that that's no different than the NFL line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. You can be here, you can't be there.
Speaker 1: You can only have this many guys split out, you
Speaker 1: can only have this many in here. NBA illegal defense
Speaker 1: for years. I know they change that, but actually I
Speaker 1: think I do so NBA has it. Why can't baseball
Speaker 1: have a rule? Yeah, and every I think every rule
Speaker 1: change feels hokey when you first start doing it. The
Speaker 1: college overtime. I don't know if people like that or
Speaker 1: don't like that, but felt hokey at first, But the
Speaker 1: more you get it, and this is my argument all
Speaker 1: the time, baseball rules are already hokey. Just because they've
Speaker 1: been around forever doesn't make them less hokey. The Balk rule,
Speaker 1: the fact that you can run to first base on
Speaker 1: a strikeout, but except when the base is occupied, except
Speaker 1: when there's two outs, then you can do it anyway.
Speaker 1: I mean, there are all like made up hokey rules,
Speaker 1: but just because they've been around for a long time seaton,
Speaker 1: we just kind of accept it. We accept them. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I also don't think it's ever a good thing, though,
Speaker 1: to be like Hey, the NFL does it, we should
Speaker 1: do it too, because the NFL, by far has the dumbest,
Speaker 1: most confusing rules of any sport ever. If you ask something,
Speaker 1: if you just if an alien came down here and
Speaker 1: landed and said, can you explain football to me? What's
Speaker 1: happening on a single play? You could never do it,
Speaker 1: never explain all of the rules that they're like, Oh no,
Speaker 1: this guy, Yeah, you can hit him, but within these
Speaker 1: couple of yards, and then after that then it's a penalty.
Speaker 1: But then if you jump over this line too. It's
Speaker 1: what it's like me trying to learn rugby and I
Speaker 1: cover that and talk about it on TV. Oh he
Speaker 1: did that guy he caught the ball. Yeah, but he
Speaker 1: didn't identify himself as a receiver based on where he
Speaker 1: lined up. What you go, you'll you'll get it. You
Speaker 1: just have to follow it for forty years. It was
Speaker 1: so easy, so simple. I don't know if anyone here
Speaker 1: knows cricket. I've watched cricket a few times on TV
Speaker 1: and it just washes over me because I don't understand
Speaker 1: what's going on. It looks like they're having a great time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: everyone's dressed really nicely. And that takes a lot. I
Speaker 1: mean that can take days. Correct me if I'm wrong, right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we started today and we finished on Tuesday, but didn't
Speaker 1: go all night. Right, they go to sleep at some point.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know that for a fact.
Speaker 1: Here's one of the new NFL rules that was kind
Speaker 1: of sneaky in the bottom. A new point of emphasis
Speaker 1: this year is taunting. In twenty twenty one, you know
Speaker 1: the taunting rule. If you taunt, it's a fifteen yard penalty.
Speaker 1: Emphasis would be directed at celebrations, not at celebrations, but
Speaker 1: toward acrimonious interaction between players. So that means if you're
Speaker 1: celebrating while catching a pass next to someone, that's not
Speaker 1: necessarily taunting. It's got to be directed at the person.
Speaker 1: So emphasis would be directed not at celebrations, but at
Speaker 1: acrimonious interaction. It's a big word for football, toward the player,
Speaker 1: So taunting is going to be more directly at a person,
Speaker 1: towards the person, then amongst a person. I feel like
Speaker 1: that's the way they've called it to this point. They
Speaker 1: gave a few examples on NFL Network and they said, like,
Speaker 1: let's say you catch a pass over the middle and
Speaker 1: you kind of stand next to the person with your
Speaker 1: arms out like I caught it. Yeah, celebrating. If you're
Speaker 1: looking up in a way or looking towards your teammates,
Speaker 1: they're probably not going to call that. If you're looking
Speaker 1: down and giving the guide a long stare, they're going
Speaker 1: to call it more direct taunting. I find it very
Speaker 1: music how he went from the no fund league. Now
Speaker 1: they actually have screens in the end zone so the
Speaker 1: team can get together and take like a giant selfie
Speaker 1: and pose and do all kinds of theatrics. When not
Speaker 1: too long ago even thought of doing that. They're ready
Speaker 1: to throw a flag at it because you're taunt through
Speaker 1: the other team, and they go, oh, people actually like it,
Speaker 1: and they will spend more money. Well, we'll be a
Speaker 1: fun league now. Baseball had something what was it, Nick
Speaker 1: Castianos for the Reds. Did you see that when he
Speaker 1: had a collision at home plate with a pitcher who
Speaker 1: had hit him earlier in the game, and he just
Speaker 1: kind of stood over him and flexed his arms and
Speaker 1: looked down him, and Baseball gave Nick a suspension. I
Speaker 1: think it was two games or something like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he basically just stood up over the top of the
Speaker 1: pitcher and the power flex And there are a lot
Speaker 1: of people out there that says, this is why baseball
Speaker 1: is not popular. It's just like, let emotion happen. And
Speaker 1: I agree with that, and I think emotion is good,
Speaker 1: and I think baseball has been behind on that. But
Speaker 1: I do think there's a there's a line right when
Speaker 1: you are standing over someone flexing on him. I think
Speaker 1: there there's gotta be a line. It's I'm all for
Speaker 1: letting the kids play emotions, have fun, but I'm okay
Speaker 1: with their being a line there. Well, you said Barry
Speaker 1: Sanders is your favorite player. He was a hand and
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson, they were both hand the football to the
Speaker 1: official guys. I think there's something cool about that in
Speaker 1: a way, I'm okay with more than that. You're right,
Speaker 1: you're right. It's just like if that's you, just you've
Speaker 1: been there before, do it again now like the pictures
Speaker 1: and doing this after a strikeout or a batter holding
Speaker 1: it like. I'm actually okay with that, But I think
Speaker 1: that when it gets to taunting, that's a line you
Speaker 1: shouldn't cross. If you go back, and it's a long
Speaker 1: time ago to the generation go. Dennis Eckersley used to
Speaker 1: punch people out. When he struck him out, he would
Speaker 1: point right like the what you do when you're punching
Speaker 1: someone out. As an umpire, he would kind of do
Speaker 1: that and it became his thing. And then people, you know,
Speaker 1: he's a reliever, so you don't have a lot of
Speaker 1: chances to get back at him. He's never behind, you know,
Speaker 1: got a bat in his hand, so you can never
Speaker 1: hit him. So one of his teammates would have to
Speaker 1: go down, charge the mount charged Dennis Eckersley. Although he
Speaker 1: looks like he could fight like a little scrappy. He
Speaker 1: looks like he could be in like a seventies porn movie.
Speaker 1: But with that that look ahead back, then you know
Speaker 1: what they should totally outlaw is when the cornerback celebrates
Speaker 1: a mispass. You know, I don't know if you guys
Speaker 1: see that, because like the quarterback overthrow by ten yards
Speaker 1: a quarterback, Yes, I did it. Then he's got to
Speaker 1: get burned on three out of the next six plays.
Speaker 1: I think that's a celebration. Ever, I mean, cornerbacks have
Speaker 1: no chance to today's en and then he and then
Speaker 1: he stands up like this he goes, no, not today, Yeah,
Speaker 1: not today today, and it's like forty two to seven.
Speaker 1: They're down and like Stefan Digg has six touchdowns on
Speaker 1: this guy's like, no, not here, you throw it seven
Speaker 1: yards over his head. That's not a completion today. Not
Speaker 1: happening today. All right, we got Robbie Earl coming up next,
Speaker 1: my friend from the Premier League. The Super League is
Speaker 1: dead officially. Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch us live every weekday morning nine
Speaker 1: until noon eastern six to nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio,
Speaker 1: and you can find us on the iHeartRadio app at
Speaker 1: FSR or stream us live on the Peacock app. Robbie
Speaker 1: Earrol hopefully coming up here in just a little bit
Speaker 1: poll question, how are we doing? Mclovin with the poll question,
Speaker 1: so I put up who should the forty nine ers take?
Speaker 1: A number three? Not who will they take? Who should
Speaker 1: they take? And choices were Mac Jones, Justin Fields, Trey Lance,
Speaker 1: and Kyle Pitts the tight end wide receiver out of Florida.
Speaker 1: Before I give you the results, who's your answer? You're
Speaker 1: the GM. John Lynch calls you and says, what should
Speaker 1: I do, I'm going Mac Jones. I think mac Jones
Speaker 1: fits in that offense well enough. I'm just listening to
Speaker 1: the experts. I work with Chris Sims all the time.
Speaker 1: He loved mac Jones from the moment he started watching
Speaker 1: take before this whole talk began of Kyle might like
Speaker 1: mac Jones. He looked at mac Jones and said, he's
Speaker 1: really good. He's better than Tuah was coming out of
Speaker 1: Alabama with the same supporting cast around him, really good players,
Speaker 1: and everyone thought Tah was top five talent. I think
Speaker 1: mac Jones is underrated by way. Simms is also, is
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson's better than Trevor Lawrence guy, which true, that's
Speaker 1: very against a grade Adam, but it's hard. He knows
Speaker 1: more about it than us so and Sims isn't like
Speaker 1: he doesn't couch it. He goes. He doesn't say things
Speaker 1: like I could see Zach Wilson being a better player,
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. He says, right now, if I were picking,
Speaker 1: I would take Zach Wilson over Trevor Lawrence. And nobody's
Speaker 1: really with him on that one. You know, it's funny,
Speaker 1: and I think they're I think there are some teams
Speaker 1: that are that are thinking. Zach Wilson's right up there
Speaker 1: with with Trevor Lawrence, and I was listening to Lewis
Speaker 1: Riddick talked to one of my old friends, Tim Kawakami
Speaker 1: over in the Bay Area, and he said he dropped this.
Speaker 1: He said, some people think Mac Jones is the best
Speaker 1: quarterback in this draft, and so maybe we know we
Speaker 1: know nothing. But what I do know is that one
Speaker 1: of my favorite people to work with in the world
Speaker 1: is standing by and ready to talk about the death
Speaker 1: of the Super League. My friend Robbie Earl from NBC
Speaker 1: Sports our Premier League coverage. Robbie, good to see your
Speaker 1: smiling face. Robbie. You and I shared a studio together
Speaker 1: when the news was breaking. We heard in our ears
Speaker 1: were like Adam told us, he said, Hey, this seems
Speaker 1: kind of big, This seems like this could be a thing.
Speaker 1: Take us take us back there and your thoughts when
Speaker 1: you were hearing of this super League becoming a reality.
Speaker 1: Let me know. Let me tell you when I knew
Speaker 1: we were in for a big day, when Adam saidden
Speaker 1: now we ripple the running older. It's a blank page.
Speaker 1: We start from here and every five minutes, the picture
Speaker 1: was changing. It was a fluid situation. Just to maybe
Speaker 1: explain obviously you know, but maybe some of the viewers
Speaker 1: in terms of where football stands in the UK, I mean,
Speaker 1: it is the game, it's football, and everything else in
Speaker 1: terms of sport comes a very big second. It's NFL,
Speaker 1: it's NBA, it's NHL, it's Major League Baseball all rolled
Speaker 1: into one. So when the thought of six team owners
Speaker 1: at the six biggest clubs, we're going to take their
Speaker 1: group and create a European super League, which basically meant
Speaker 1: it was a boys only club where there was no
Speaker 1: promotion and relegation. They'd invite three or four teams in
Speaker 1: a year to come and play with us, but basically
Speaker 1: it was their league. They were going to run it,
Speaker 1: and the rest of English football was in jeopardy. That's
Speaker 1: the English football is. The football is a premier league
Speaker 1: that everybody knows, but there's a amid below that armor
Speaker 1: that goes through thousands of peoples with thousands of teams,
Speaker 1: and basically the premier league clubs that move away are
Speaker 1: almost set spelling the death knell to those teams. And
Speaker 1: so this was huge. It was seismic. It in Football's
Speaker 1: one of those huge days in football. In Tuesday, the
Speaker 1: twentieth of April twenty twenty one was the day when
Speaker 1: English football said you're not taking it. You may be
Speaker 1: the wealthy owners of six clubs, but this is our
Speaker 1: game and we're grabbing the game back. And fans went
Speaker 1: out and government got involved in, the Royal family got
Speaker 1: involved in players and coaches and managers, and it was
Speaker 1: very obvious that the sixth ownership groups had not taken
Speaker 1: into consideration the temperature of what this would do to
Speaker 1: English football. And very quickly we saw we call on
Speaker 1: the Dirty Dozen, the twelve team, six from England, three
Speaker 1: from Spain and three from Italy who were going to
Speaker 1: go together and form this European super League. Very quickly,
Speaker 1: one by one they started to fall out and it
Speaker 1: was a huge day for English football and a huge
Speaker 1: day to show where the power of the fund stunts. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I explain it to people. I use the analogy Robbie
Speaker 1: of like college basketball, and you have right now some
Speaker 1: blue blood, blue blood teams like Kentucky, Kansas, you got
Speaker 1: Michigan State, Duke, North Carolina. It'd be like if they
Speaker 1: all were in their conferences still competing for acc Big
Speaker 1: ten titles. But instead of going to the NCAA tournament anymore,
Speaker 1: which is the Champions League, they just said we're not
Speaker 1: doing that anymore. We're making our own tournament. We're going
Speaker 1: to be in it every year and we'll let in
Speaker 1: three other cinder relevant teams. And that would not have
Speaker 1: flown here. This did not fly over in Europe. So
Speaker 1: what was your biggest fear if this had gone through, Robbie?
Speaker 1: Would was it possible that everything we know about football
Speaker 1: and everything that people in England know and love about
Speaker 1: it would have gone away. I'll give you my personal view. First,
Speaker 1: the dream I had it seven or eight years of
Speaker 1: age when people would say to me or what do
Speaker 1: you want to be when you grow up? And I'd
Speaker 1: say a footballer and they tap me on my head
Speaker 1: and say, oh, that's really nice. That dream would have
Speaker 1: been gone for every kid in the UK. There would
Speaker 1: be no way that the structures and the platforms would
Speaker 1: be in place that I could go from an academy
Speaker 1: to a young professional team, to a team to get
Speaker 1: to Premier League, to play international football. That would have
Speaker 1: been gone because six owners wanted to take all that's
Speaker 1: good about English football and create this European super League.
Speaker 1: Beyond that, every league below the Premier League, and in England,
Speaker 1: these many leagues, like minor leagues maybe in the US,
Speaker 1: that rely on money that's trickled down. Basically, these clubs
Speaker 1: going away takes that trickle down with them, So the
Speaker 1: Premier League would be different. These clubs would maybe still
Speaker 1: wanted to play in the Premier League, but that wouldn't
Speaker 1: have been their main name because they're already going into
Speaker 1: their super competition. They don't have to finish top four,
Speaker 1: so the Premier League they could play average teams in
Speaker 1: the Premier League and save all their big guns, all
Speaker 1: their big players of the super League. That so the
Speaker 1: Premier League would be different. The relegation and promotion, the
Speaker 1: opportunity for teams like Bournemouth to come from the lowest
Speaker 1: league in English football and hold their own in the
Speaker 1: Premier League. There would be no less to cities who
Speaker 1: were one season in the third tier of English football,
Speaker 1: some six saven years later going on to win the
Speaker 1: Premier League. I mean, those dreams, those stories, that drama
Speaker 1: that is the Premier League would have been no more
Speaker 1: one of the biggest storylines Robbie was People were saying
Speaker 1: that this was the americanization, or at least that was
Speaker 1: the attempt of the game in England and Europe because
Speaker 1: you had American owners of some of these big clubs
Speaker 1: that were a big part of creating the Super League.
Speaker 1: Do you think that we'll ever see another American owner
Speaker 1: be able to come in take control of one of
Speaker 1: these big clubs again in England ers are going to
Speaker 1: be a lot of reticence. It's a really interesting point,
Speaker 1: and the Americanism is I thought not totally true because
Speaker 1: these things about European breakaway and been going on at
Speaker 1: for fifteen or twenty years. There's always been a thought
Speaker 1: that at some point those big clubs playing on a
Speaker 1: regular basis should be. What happens now that is generally
Speaker 1: at the moment the Champions League, and there is no
Speaker 1: doubt what's happened in the game and these six clubs
Speaker 1: trying to pull away is wakened everybody up to saying
Speaker 1: we need to look at the structure of football. We
Speaker 1: need to look that we can get you know, the
Speaker 1: big clubs should be able to play at times and
Speaker 1: maybe earn a little bit more money because they are
Speaker 1: the big clubs. They're the driver, but they also need
Speaker 1: the little clubs as well. They need that the Premier League,
Speaker 1: and they should be part of that. I think what
Speaker 1: will change in your right is maybe I think there'll
Speaker 1: be rules and regulations in terms of ownership of football clubs.
Speaker 1: I don't think we'll ever get back to this stage
Speaker 1: where one single owner will have the ability to take
Speaker 1: a club into a league or into another continentals another
Speaker 1: region that's not benefittle. That's not that anybody else would
Speaker 1: in that league cannot have a say over. They do it.
Speaker 1: In Germany it's a fifty plus one there where I
Speaker 1: think the funds have some ownership in a club where
Speaker 1: the funds have to say I wouldn't be supplied if
Speaker 1: some form of that has replicated in England, because the
Speaker 1: funds have spoken on this and they certainly deserve a
Speaker 1: say so. Real Madrid's president Florentino Perez has come out
Speaker 1: and said the Super League is on standby, which is
Speaker 1: what happens when everyone drops out of it. You got
Speaker 1: to put it on standby stand by. But he's still
Speaker 1: Robbie blasted the current Champions League system as he said
Speaker 1: his words obsolete, said there's waning support from young people.
Speaker 1: Things need to change, So this is not going to
Speaker 1: happen in its form. Do you think there's still a
Speaker 1: possibility that something may be like this with other considerations?
Speaker 1: Is there still change possible in European football? Yes, and
Speaker 1: there should be. I don't particularly agree with all that
Speaker 1: he said, but I do feel that the structure of
Speaker 1: the Champions League can be look chat. As long as
Speaker 1: the less the cities of the world who win the
Speaker 1: Premier League go into that competition with every chance of
Speaker 1: winning that as well, as long as these the ability
Speaker 1: that it's not a closed shot, where there's not founder members,
Speaker 1: where there's not being run by the people with the
Speaker 1: big money, then I believe there is room for conversation.
Speaker 1: And what pleases me out of what come out of
Speaker 1: Tuesday when the team started to fall away, is that
Speaker 1: when those teams sit around a table, now it's a
Speaker 1: whole different conversation. At one time they sat around the
Speaker 1: table as if to say, yes, you and our company,
Speaker 1: but what we're really the big boys, We'll tell you
Speaker 1: what's happening. Now I think it's taken a little bit
Speaker 1: away from them and they have to come to the
Speaker 1: table not cap in hand, but certainly on a more
Speaker 1: level basis and have a discussion that's for the better
Speaker 1: of football as well as the better of these six clubs.
Speaker 1: All right, So for talking about perhaps some changes down
Speaker 1: the road. My last one here, rabbie. Okay, would there
Speaker 1: ever be a Premier League team in America? Could that
Speaker 1: ever work? We're an American team, say in New York,
Speaker 1: could get a team together and become part of the
Speaker 1: English football pyramid? I think not. I think what we
Speaker 1: saw in terms of numbers and fans and people, it
Speaker 1: was always rumored back in sort of the early days
Speaker 1: of the Premier League about maybe playing one Premier League
Speaker 1: game overseas, and the kind of scenes we saw and
Speaker 1: six oh and they thought they could take the league
Speaker 1: away would be a similar thing. English football is very
Speaker 1: proud of what it does and how it doesn't and
Speaker 1: how it markets it and how it sells it. And
Speaker 1: I think teams coming over and playing tournament games and
Speaker 1: friendly games and things in the summer's fine. But in
Speaker 1: terms of the Premier League and where it's played, I
Speaker 1: think we will we will generally see it playing on
Speaker 1: UK shows. Immediately shut down my dream, just like that
Speaker 1: my friend. The other is we have to travel over
Speaker 1: with two England to go and watch games, and we
Speaker 1: caught on games. We can alway, we can always have
Speaker 1: a good kind of English beer. Oh, Robbie, always great
Speaker 1: working with you. Your insights are awesome. Thanks for joining us. Sorry,
Speaker 1: we'll see and joy later. Robbie. He did, he just
Speaker 1: crushed it, just like that. I was like, well, you
Speaker 1: know what, maybe this could happen. Maybe, you know, if
Speaker 1: we consider this, we might get an American Premier League
Speaker 1: team right out of the gates. No, Pali. It's a
Speaker 1: fair question because people over here have asked could there
Speaker 1: be an NFL team in London? Right? And that seems
Speaker 1: it seems kind of That's me fifty fifty at this point.
Speaker 1: I know it's been a long time and nothing's really happened.
Speaker 1: And they said the Jaguars would move six years ago.
Speaker 1: Is room with that the Jaggers are moving. Nothing seems
Speaker 1: to happen, but it seems like it's inevitable with London specifically. Michaelovin, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's soccer is more popular here I think than American
Speaker 1: football is in England, and I would think there's a
Speaker 1: ton of soccer fans here we could do it. We
Speaker 1: could do it playing not that far. I mean it's
Speaker 1: really basically the same from California to New York as
Speaker 1: it is from New York to London. Right now, English
Speaker 1: England soccer fans will be very upset by this if
Speaker 1: they exported a team, if there was like an expansion
Speaker 1: franchise and it was made in New York and it
Speaker 1: added to the EPL, the Premier League. Yeah, but if
Speaker 1: you took like some London second tier London squad and
Speaker 1: moved and people would freak out. So what we'd have
Speaker 1: to do is we but we'd have to make a team,
Speaker 1: Like we just heard the rule. There are rules to
Speaker 1: play here, right, You can't just go in with a
Speaker 1: super team Super league and go right into the top tier.
Speaker 1: We'd have to make a team in New York and
Speaker 1: we'd have to start at the lower tiers of English football.
Speaker 1: Are we willing to make that long trek up to
Speaker 1: maybe one day get in the Premier League or do
Speaker 1: we just want to do our own thing? Americans aren't patient, Like, right,
Speaker 1: we're not patient. You got to go right to the
Speaker 1: They want to be right there with Manchester United. We're like,
Speaker 1: can we be part of the Premier League and they
Speaker 1: go no, and they go out, we don't want it,
Speaker 1: and then they go we don't want you. That's basically
Speaker 1: how it is. Not to mention that you don't want
Speaker 1: New York say say it's you know NYCFC, right, and
Speaker 1: are in like third tier English soccer right with whatever?
Speaker 1: Random English? Sheffield United, Yeah, Sheffield United is actually pretty good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there at least Wednesday is another club. Yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: they're gonna be bad at that kind of like Exeter
Speaker 1: be bad, you know, township or something and you're like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, but then New York City is in there too,
Speaker 1: so that's pretty cool. Derby County, Like Derby County, this
Speaker 1: club of like guys who have a part time jobs
Speaker 1: elsewhere are flying to New York City to take on
Speaker 1: our club. It's in the third tier yeah of football. Well,
Speaker 1: I was surprised that when they said the Super League,
Speaker 1: why where do they know MLS teams that were invited
Speaker 1: into I've been sit on that joke for three days.
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm like, yeah, Ac Milan and the Timbers.
Speaker 1: MLS is growing. Yeah, raised a little bit when you
Speaker 1: said it your voice, you know when when someone's not
Speaker 1: really telling something they believe in. I really like that dress.
Speaker 1: The MLS is growing, I mean by sure number of teams.
Speaker 1: They're growing all the time. The Yankees are making the
Speaker 1: playoffs this year. They could do that. Oh, we got
Speaker 1: to talk about MLB. We gotta talk about MLB again,
Speaker 1: But I want to talk. I want to pick your
Speaker 1: bank because you mentioned something to me earlier about uniforms.
Speaker 1: Highly controversial take. We also have another topic we're going
Speaker 1: to hit next, and we've been trying to protect you
Speaker 1: as long as we could. Oh no, THEAHM a movie situation.
Speaker 1: Oh it's big. So maybe we go too long on
Speaker 1: the uniform segment and we don't talk about the movie
Speaker 1: situation because it is embarrassing. But I can fight for
Speaker 1: myself and I will do that next segment. Thanks for
Speaker 1: listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast. Be sure to
Speaker 1: catch us live every weekday morning nine until noon eastern

Speaker 1: about what made these people love their sport and all
Speaker 1: the interesting interactions along the way. We talked to coaches,
Speaker 1: we talked to players, We tell you stories. They download it,
Speaker 1: you listen to it. I think you like it. Listen
Speaker 1: to All Ball with Doug Goliba on the iHeartRadio app,
Speaker 1: Apple Podcasts or ever you get your podcasts. So, watching
Speaker 1: highlights last night, watching Baseball tonight or MLP whatever it was,
Speaker 1: and I was just looking at different uniforms, and there
Speaker 1: are some bad ones. You know, there's no offense, but
Speaker 1: like the Diamondbacks aren't gorgeous. You know, they've had they've
Speaker 1: had some problems in their past. They're not so bad.
Speaker 1: But I believe, and I don't know if there's a
Speaker 1: hot take. The four best uniforms in baseball are all
Speaker 1: four on the West Coast. The Dodgers are classic. They
Speaker 1: rarely changed. They're gorgeous and the sunlight, the white and
Speaker 1: blue is crisp. It's iconic and they don't change. Kind
Speaker 1: of like the Yankees. They're gorgeous, simplecord. The San Francisco
Speaker 1: Giants are very cool. They have that kind of creamy
Speaker 1: home uniform with the orange and the black. It's kind
Speaker 1: of old school looking. They added names this year to
Speaker 1: the back of the jersey, though very controversial. I liked
Speaker 1: it better without less busy. But either way, the cream
Speaker 1: with the black and the oil top four for you,
Speaker 1: even with the name. Yeah. The Oakland A's are my
Speaker 1: probably my personal favorite for a long time. They look
Speaker 1: like the seventies A's. The green and yellow is strong,
Speaker 1: it's striking, it's it's really fun. And then the San
Speaker 1: Diego Padres, they've gone back to the seventies and eighties,
Speaker 1: the brown with the yellow almost like a mustardy yellow. Um.
Speaker 1: They've really embraced the old school. Some people think that
Speaker 1: color is drastically ugly. There's no middle ground on the Padres,
Speaker 1: but I think those are the four best, and then
Speaker 1: it drops drastically. I love the Padres. The fact that
Speaker 1: they went back to brown, I love that. I agree.
Speaker 1: I think those vibrant colors are in. They're back in now.
Speaker 1: So the kelly green for the Oakland A's in. When
Speaker 1: they go all green and then they yellow sucks. I'm
Speaker 1: with you on that. You're gonna get so much pushed back.
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna hear from pirates fans. Pirates have
Speaker 1: great uniforms, a great mix. They embrace their history those
Speaker 1: that's a good looking uniform too. You might get pushed
Speaker 1: back from Yankee fans as well. Classic pin stripes so
Speaker 1: the most talked about uniform in baseball. Yeah, but the
Speaker 1: Mets trying to do that kind of drags it down
Speaker 1: a little bit because they want with pin stripes and
Speaker 1: you're like, guys, you can you're making me look uncool. Okay,
Speaker 1: now everybody's doing pin stripes in ya Okay. It's like
Speaker 1: the guy that makes the jokes at the part and
Speaker 1: they're like, those are funny, and then the other guy
Speaker 1: that's uncool makes the same joke. Now your joke is
Speaker 1: not as funny. I think that there's a whole swath
Speaker 1: of baseball teams who have similar uniforms, and because of that,
Speaker 1: they're underappreciated, but they're actually great uniforms. Like I think
Speaker 1: the Orioles uniform is awesome. I think the Cardinals, I
Speaker 1: think even h well maybe not as much, but the
Speaker 1: Detroit Tigers. They're sort of classic uniforms that they don't
Speaker 1: really change a whole lot, but that's sort of what's
Speaker 1: great about them. Almost like the San Francisco Giants. They're
Speaker 1: all sort of cut from the same old English d
Speaker 1: might be the most classic all the logos. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: love that. Yeah, Tigers are very crisp. The Cardinals have
Speaker 1: a good case because they've got the bat in the
Speaker 1: middle with the Cardinals on them. And when they would
Speaker 1: go with that kind of not powdery blue, but that
Speaker 1: mid level blue, the Cardinals are awesome. Same with the
Speaker 1: Phillies when they go with the blue. Yeah, mclovin, these
Speaker 1: guys are stuck in nineteen eighty eight. I've the Brewers
Speaker 1: and the Twins change their uniform every year and they're
Speaker 1: all awesome. The Brewers change it like every day. They're
Speaker 1: always is the different shade of blue. Those two teams are.
Speaker 1: I think they change it the most and they're really good.
Speaker 1: Although I don't want I see a highlight. I don't
Speaker 1: know what team is playing worst uniform Diamondbacks. I think
Speaker 1: it was the diamond Backs. And unfortunately, and I hate
Speaker 1: to do this, because they tried, right, they tried something different.
Speaker 1: They don't have the tradition of the Tigers and the Padres.
Speaker 1: They tried, but their jerseys just ended up looking more
Speaker 1: wet than anything. It was like that just seems like
Speaker 1: your jersey's damp. I want to say the Phillies actually
Speaker 1: have a bad uniform. Could They sort of tried to
Speaker 1: take a little bit of what works for everybody else
Speaker 1: and mash it together and it doesn't work. Which if
Speaker 1: they went back to the old what powder blue? Alright,
Speaker 1: they do that sometime. The Diamondbacks look like a movie
Speaker 1: where they can't use real baseball footage, so they have
Speaker 1: to use kind of like a triple A team. And
Speaker 1: they're good program the Diamondbacks. They've had some good years,
Speaker 1: but the uniforms, they'd never hit it. The Arizona Desert Dog, yes,
Speaker 1: top team in in big time baseball. Colorado Rockies when
Speaker 1: they came out with the purple and black were very
Speaker 1: cool back in the day, but they've kind of they
Speaker 1: look like they're wearing baseball vests and not actually a uniform.
Speaker 1: The Rockies. Yeah, I'm not into the Rockies uniform. A
Speaker 1: big fan of sweater vest while playing sports. Purple, I
Speaker 1: think is an underutilized color in sports. Like the Vikings.
Speaker 1: I feel like they that's a good color. What about
Speaker 1: the Astros from the eighties days, I just thought those
Speaker 1: were awesome. They're loud and obnoxious. Maybe it's the sun,
Speaker 1: but the rainbow stripes, they're red, yellow and orange. They'll
Speaker 1: they'll wear them retro once in a while, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, these years, but not as much as I'd like.
Speaker 1: But when they got the orange or blue hat on
Speaker 1: with the star and the at and they wearing those
Speaker 1: at the say, Sara Danio, it is. But we're grading now, right, Paulie,
Speaker 1: this is your current now again, Fritzie missed the first
Speaker 1: part of the second. But when a lot of these
Speaker 1: teams go retro now because they're trying to show extra
Speaker 1: jerseys and they're wearing a lot of these old school joges. Now,
Speaker 1: I hope the logos go back because the logos all
Speaker 1: became kind of a little streamlined. And I remember, like
Speaker 1: in the NBA, the Toronto Raptors with that caricature Raptor,
Speaker 1: it seemed kind of goofy. I think that stuff's gonna
Speaker 1: come back into style. Do you guys see the Red
Speaker 1: Sox have this green uniform. Now that's pretty sick too.
Speaker 1: But that doesn't make any sense, right, I believe Fritzie.
Speaker 1: They change. All these teams are trying new colors, every day,
Speaker 1: especially the NBA, and I'll put on a game and
Speaker 1: for a minute or two like, what team is that?
Speaker 1: They just that wearing colors that are not their traditional colors,
Speaker 1: and I don't like it at all. They know why
Speaker 1: they're doing The Angels. Really, the Angels uniforms aren't that bad.
Speaker 1: They're just they're kind of irrelevant and they suffer compared
Speaker 1: to the doll
