Speaker 4: As the Big Voice guy said, there is no Smith.

13
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 4: He is gone and gallivanting. Therefore, like Keith Richards, I'm

14
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 4: saddling up, sidling up to the big microphone in the spotlight.

16
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 4: of the week with some guest stars. First up, coming

17
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 4: off the left of the stage, our guy Chris Plank

18
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 4: at Plank Show. You hear him on the weekends with

19
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 4: our guy Ernie Spaniard. He's been doing yeomen's work between

20
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 4: his college football and softball work, and then four straight

21
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 4: days here on the network. So let's see if he

22
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 4: sounds like his aforementioned colleague, Arnie span your it's Chris Blank.

23
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 3: What's going on? Chris? Come on, man?

24
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 5: Four days in a row is child's play here? It's

25
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 5: it's all good, Jayson God already fire. No, you get

26
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 5: it out of the way early, then you're good. It's

27
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 5: been good man. We're getting close to football. The countdown

28
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 5: is on. We got a game next Thursday that everyone

29
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 5: will be excited about, and then they'll grinch about two

30
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 5: plays in because no one's playing, of course, and then

31
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 5: we're less than the gosh, we're less than a month

32
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 5: really away from the start of the first Saturday of

33
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 5: college football. So game on, Micha. Let's have some fun.

34
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 5: Tonight should be a fun week for you. You do

35
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 5: have a very I guess I should say like rotating.

36
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 5: It's an electic mix. That's you're not gonna say. There's

37
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 5: no settling into a comfort zone. Is that in the contract?

38
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 5: You gotta have someone different every day. You can't just

39
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 5: say hey, I like Plank or I like Buyer. I

40
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 5: know you wouldn't like Arnie, but you just say, hey,

41
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 5: that's the person I want to be with every day.

42
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 5: Is that contractually? So it stays fresh?

43
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, maybe Jason's got that in because it's

44
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 4: in place of him, but you know, for me, I

45
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 4: kind of throw it up. Scott and I come up

46
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 4: with a you know, cursory list, and then we see

47
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 4: how it falls out based on availability, based on other

48
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 4: needs at the network or people's other jobs and attending

49
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 4: to so they're in. It becomes a all right, here's

50
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 4: what the computer spits back out.

51
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 5: That is the boos. Very much like Dave Roberts very much.

52
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 5: You just throw it in there and then it gives

53
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 5: you the lineup. By the way, I got to get

54
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 5: on that level. I have never not once had Scott

55
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 5: be like, hey, man, who you want. I gotta get

56
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 5: on that level like you Harmon I and Arnie you know,

57
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 5: runs the network.

58
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 3: That's what he tells me. Yeah, right, So I got

59
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 3: to find that level.

60
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 4: Good stuff. Man, we pump to be here. Should be

61
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 4: an awesome kind of a big deal in my own mind.

62
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 4: If that's what else. Glad to have you with as

63
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 4: we've got some college football we can get to with

64
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 4: some of the media days out there and some of

65
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 4: the rumor conjecture speculation A two hundred and fifty million

66
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 4: dollars to Ken BEI mutumble like rejection from one conference

67
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 4: to a would be member earlier. But we'll start where

68
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 4: I know your heart is, and that is also the

69
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 4: same spot on my guy Justin Frostberg, who's just those

70
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 4: ten days away from that Hall of Fame game, and

71
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 4: his guy Antonio Gates going in, our guy Steve Disager,

72
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 4: who's at the news desk, who you know all too well.

73
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 4: And of course for you, Melk, I've lived in Los

74
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 4: Angeles a long time. I'm a White Sox fan, so

75
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 4: the fact that they're actually scoring runs is a very

76
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 4: exciting thing.

77
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 3: But let's talk about the Dodgers.

78
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 4: Let's talk about the defending champion and all the chaos

79
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 4: that has ensued. Tonight is Mystery grab Bag Championship Ring night,

80
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 4: where you can get one of five players. It's a

81
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 4: pretty good looking replica of the World Series ring. That's cool.

82
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 4: Sho heeo. Tani is on the mound, that's fantastic. We've

83
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 4: got Freddie Freeman. He's gonna be in the lineup, but

84
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 4: he tells people he thinks he's figured out in a

85
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 4: sleepless night how to fix his swing. Meanwhile, Mookie Betts

86
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 4: just says, I don't know when asked about his continued

87
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 4: struggles going all the way back to the weight loss

88
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 4: and mystery illness that started the season. So all of

89
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 4: that things, all of those things converge into tonight, Chris,

90
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 4: the swoon of the Dodgers, the inability to get over

91
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 4: against winning teams, overall being owned by the Milwaukee Brewers.

92
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 4: And then last night, just after yesterday afternoon, I should say,

93
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 4: here West Coast time, after all of the positivity and

94
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 4: grab ass that Clayton Kershaw played during the All Star Game,

95
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 4: he was back to being red ass. Clayton Kershaw, throwing

96
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 4: his glove and refusing to comment, figuring he'd get himself

97
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 4: in trouble after several errors were committed in the field

98
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 4: to base running gaffs and everything else, and all of

99
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 4: a sudden, every string that was pulled right a year

100
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 4: ago looks like it's been snapped along the way, as

101
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 4: if we were in some horror movie.

102
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 3: For the Dodgers this season.

103
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 5: They're struggling, and they were struggling before the end of

104
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 5: the first half. Disager had this note last night, and

105
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 5: it absolutely blew my mind. Mookie Bets in July is

106
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 5: hitting just ten to fifty three, just ten, and again

107
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 5: this isn't all on Mookie. I don't know how a

108
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 5: team that appears to have so much talent can be

109
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 5: this enupt defensively in antipaus death. He makes this spectacular

110
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 5: play and then has the one that I still don't

111
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 5: know how he missed it. I've I've tried to watch

112
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 5: that thing five or six. I don't know if he

113
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 5: got caught in the lights. I don't know what his

114
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 5: excuse was. And then you again you mentioned Freeman's in

115
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 5: the lineup tonight. So that's good, but you know, Glassnew

116
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 5: gives you a real What's frustrating about the sweet to

117
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 5: the Brewers is that Tyler Glasnew gave you something, Mike.

118
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 5: He gave you something that was a solid outing from

119
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 5: him and his first what opportunity since April Frosburg. I

120
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 5: think that's right. But you got something from your staff

121
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 5: that you hadn't consistently got this year. You got to

122
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 5: do that took the fourth, So it's a very confusing time.

123
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 5: I think it was the hot streak of product of

124
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 5: just playing no fense to the White Sox, but just

125
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 5: a stretch of not very good baseball teams right where

126
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 5: you look back like oh, they won, like for it.

127
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 5: They're good, But then you realize they're now going up

128
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 5: against good teams. Brewers are tied for first skate of twins.

129
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 5: Not so much, they're they're in trouble right now in

130
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 5: the American League Central. But this is where you need

131
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 5: to get right. And it leads to a longer term

132
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 5: question for me, which is simply, are the Dodgers back?

133
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 5: Are they going to be a dominant team? Is this

134
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 5: one of those things that guys get healthy and you're

135
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 5: ready to go in the postseason or hasn't kind of

136
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 5: dropped a bit because of the struggles and maybe some

137
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 5: guys have, you know, not really lived up to the expectations.

138
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 3: Injuries are killing this team right now, which.

139
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 5: I Mike that being so consistent with this team over

140
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 5: the last couple of years is absolutely mind boggling.

141
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 4: It just makes no sense to me. But I bring

142
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 4: that up with NFL teams all the time. I did

143
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 4: it with the Chargers much and I used to get

144
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 4: things thrown at me by Frostburg for doing so and

145
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 4: so many other teams, the Ravens for years, like what's

146
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 4: going on in your where you were having this year

147
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 4: after year?

148
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: And I know, the Dodgers, given the financial.

149
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 4: Resources at their disposal, they can generally buy their way

150
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 4: out of trouble. And certainly we'll see in the next

151
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 4: two weeks what that could be. And yes, you got

152
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 4: everybody getting ready to ride back into the mix, be

153
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 4: it Blake Snell or some of these others who have

154
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 4: been waiting Glass now who you mentioned. But will he

155
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 4: make his next start?

156
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 3: I don't know. We've seen him.

157
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 4: Ask out right, we've seen those issues through the back.

158
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 4: How does he recover five days later? Otani? How much

159
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 4: will you really be able to stretch him out? We've

160
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 4: seen three innings. How far does that go?

161
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 3: Tonight?

162
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 4: He's going to start this game and then we'll see

163
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 4: Dustin May again. But it just you're bringing up the

164
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 4: injury issue. I mean last year they navigated it about

165
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 4: as well as you could. I mean they pulled the

166
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 4: string at every turn, all those starting pitchers, all of

167
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 4: the relief appearances, and the opener with Keith a Hernandez,

168
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 4: although now he's got an injury to his off arm

169
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 4: so he can't do any of that.

170
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 3: But all of that to say, I mean, you've navigated

171
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 3: through it.

172
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 4: But as much as you marvel at what because they're

173
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 4: still in first place and you've got San Diego chasing,

174
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 4: and we'll see what happens.

175
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 3: They finally got a good start out of DAL. Yeah, No,

176
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 3: that's just it.

177
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 4: You got these teams hanging around, and when we go

178
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 4: to strength of schedule, well, Dodgers have the fourth quote

179
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 4: easiest path remaining a lot of losing squads coming up

180
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 4: here series for series, so some opportunity maybe to create

181
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 4: some distance again, but banking on full health and for

182
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 4: every every turn in the analytics to work right again,

183
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 4: it's a dangerous proposition then and flirtation and if they

184
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 4: don't get right hitting wise, I mean you brought up

185
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 4: the PA has a fielding issue and then base running

186
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 4: one oh one. I mean we're seeing on display time

187
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 4: and again with the squad some of the fundamentals have

188
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 4: just gone out the window. But the injury issues is

189
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 4: something that I think from an organizational standpoint, you got

190
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 4: to pull back and just try to figure out what

191
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 4: in your training processes. Even if you have been really

192
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 4: good at picking up the reclamation projects from other squads,

193
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 4: you know what's going on, what's in the water for

194
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 4: your own organization. Because while you can buy your way out.

195
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 4: It's a dangerous way to.

196
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 5: Live, but it's still it's pretty cool to see show

197
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 5: hee Otani's he just jogs out to no matter that

198
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 5: this thing started. It's it's a very it's not necessarily

199
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 5: a full sigh of relief, but it's one of those.

200
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 5: All Right, I took my tom so the indigestion went

201
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,599
Speaker 5: away for a little bit. See him out there for

202
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 5: a couple of innings. Now is he only going three tonight?

203
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 5: I thought they were gonna try to push him. They

204
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 5: may try to stretch. I think it's gonna be dependent

205
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 5: on on the pitch count and ease. Right, we talked

206
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 5: about stressful out, stressful innings, and the fact that the

207
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 5: first pitch got tattooed for a home run is probably

208
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 5: not the second pitch of the game. He goes sailing

209
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 5: out Iron Buckston his twenty third home run of the year.

210
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 4: All right, recess, great start, great start. Well you have

211
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 4: him a fatball exit velocity of about one hundred and

212
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 4: five miles.

213
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 5: An hour, so now you know when you're struggling, let's

214
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 5: just go ahead and have the bottom completely fallout. But

215
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 5: I still it'll be very interesting to see what the

216
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 5: moves are coming up in a couple of weeks now

217
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 5: with the trade deadline. You know, it's still because of

218
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 5: the job their front office is done, and not to

219
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 5: like completely dodge your home or out, but it's still

220
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 5: one of the top prospects, one of the top farm

221
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 5: systems in all of Major League Baseball? And you know,

222
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 5: do you start risking some of that? Do you really

223
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 5: swing for the fences? Do you call Pittsburgh and say,

224
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 5: all right, what do you want for Paul Skiings?

225
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 3: You know actually won.

226
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 4: Today, Chris, I saw that you believe that first one

227
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 4: since May twenty eighth? How about that?

228
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 5: So hold on, I just want to give you an

229
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 5: idea how behind my feet is for the game right now?

230
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 5: Boom Byron Buxton just hit a home run. It's one Minnesota,

231
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 5: but it's a It really is kind of a fascinating

232
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 5: time to decide if your buyers are sells and not

233
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 5: just for the Dodgers. Right look at the Red Sox

234
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 5: and are you satisfied with just kind of battling for

235
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 5: that wild card? Is that where you want to be

236
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 5: or do you think, hey, I can get a little

237
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 5: bit more and maybe if we get in the wild card, great,

238
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 5: But then we're set for the future.

239
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 3: I don't know.

240
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 5: I know this, the Dodgers are not a team that's

241
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 5: going to be in any other mode than buying. They're

242
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 5: gonna be out there trying to find the pieces that fit.

243
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 5: If it's if it's getting a third basement, if it's

244
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,599
Speaker 5: getting involved in schemes or another starter, if they have

245
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 5: to truly go and find themselves a closer. I don't

246
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 5: know what it is, but Mike, there's no if, ans

247
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 5: or butts about it. This is one of those that

248
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 5: it's kind of hard to explain away with just how

249
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 5: bad it's been for the Dodgers.

250
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 3: Struggle Bus has certainly been there.

251
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 4: And what's funny is, you know, you get the shot

252
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 4: and freud of it all where folks are gonna be

253
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 4: very excitable because you got to explain that one to me.

254
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 3: The shot and that is taking joy in the misery

255
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 3: of others. Okay, I don't have to google that. There's

256
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 3: a whole soul.

257
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 4: You can do it in song form from Avenue Q

258
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 4: I'm a Publisher, which which I have always described since

259
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 4: seeing it off Broadway many years ago as the Muppets

260
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 4: on crack okay, and they have a whole song about schadenfreude,

261
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 4: So you can go run with that one a little bit.

262
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 3: As you will.

263
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 5: Hey, Hey, who said we wouldn't learn something tonight on

264
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,160

00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 4: you're enjoying some of the current struggles of the Los

276
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 4: Angeles Dodgers. We coined them the Evil Empire several years ago.

277
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 4: As you know, we are ahead of the curve once

278
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 4: the bye really started going. Uh And to your point

279
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 4: about the wild card, that's the beauty and the horror

280
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 4: of all of this stuff when you get to the

281
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 4: trade deadline, Because once upon a time you knew where

282
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 4: that dividing line was, right, and now you start looking

283
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 4: at well, here's our expected schedule, here's the guys coming

284
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 4: back from injury.

285
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 3: Here's all that.

286
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 4: I'm a White Sox fan. I just want them to

287
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 4: play spoiler to somebody. I don't care who pick a

288
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 4: name out of the hat, that one team gets wrecked

289
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 4: because of us.

290
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 3: That's my goal. I just I was looking. Do you

291
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 3: let's see here, White Sox, We're thirty games under five hundred. Okay, okay,

292
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 3: join it. They just swept the Pirates. GM was getting

293
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 3: fired because of them. So you got that.

294
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 4: They were beating up on the Rays the last I saw. Now,

295
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 4: my screens are replete with images of Sho Heyo Tani

296
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 4: wherever I look right now. So you got that going

297
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 4: for you. So but you know, look, the long road

298
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 4: begins with the first step. I can't be a front runner.

299
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 4: I'm still celebrating two thousand and five. You know that

300
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 4: title that refuses to acknowledge one of the greatest pitching

301
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 4: performances in baseball history. That's starting. For hell, they put

302
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 4: a statue up a Burley last week. There's my celebration moment.

303
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 4: That's all I got right there, Chris.

304
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 3: That's it. That's it. I'm living twenty years ago. All right,

305
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 3: a strikeout for Otani.

306
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 6: Here.

307
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,960

370
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 3: Who knew? You didn't know? And you didn't care.

371
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 6: Actually I did. I saw it somehow popped up on

372
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 6: my Twitter. But what I didn't know is like that

373
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 6: they're like and special guests like Prudy McNuggets or whatever,

374
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 6: like whoever the special guy. I'm like, I totally don't

375
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 6: know this person. I'm like, I don't know. Did I

376
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,479
Speaker 6: know this person? Like is this that big in Canada?

377
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 6: I don't know, you know, because they're Canadian. But yeah,

378
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 6: if you seriously though, if you see like the promo stuff,

379
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 6: there's like this other guy who they're with, who's wearing

380
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 6: like an old school Houston Oilers jersey, And I'm like,

381
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 6: don't know that guy. I am unfortunately familiar with Nickelback.

382
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to go do the deep dive of

383
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 3: what's going on there.

384
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you guys probably know him, like you guys,

385
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 6: I mean, it's good just be me an old man thing.

386
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 6: But AnyWho, I'm.

387
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 3: Right there with you.

388
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 4: Hey, you want to start with some Lloyd Howell fun

389
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 4: Now he's his other job. You go through the expense reports.

390
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 6: J C.

391
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 3: Tretder.

392
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 4: He's no longer gonna seek a job in this process.

393
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 4: Demorris Smith. I haven't read the book yet. But does

394
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 4: this mean he was complicit or just dumb.

395
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 6: No, jeez, you're gonna put You're gonna put Lloyd Howell

396
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 6: on him. I mean, I I don't think Hell. I'll

397
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 6: see how you can do that.

398
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 4: Well, just saying in terms of the overall union ineptitude

399
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 4: in some of those discussions about GUARANTI right.

400
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 6: Now I'm picturing d Smith like that Kermit Defrogg meme

401
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 6: of him sitting back sipping his teake. I mean, de Smith, like,

402
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 6: look how looks I mean, Jesus, you can say to

403
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 6: one about him having a replace a legend, you know

404
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 6: what I mean? Like, he had a place and he

405
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 6: was never going to be it for everybody, and he

406
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 6: certainly had his faults, and that union remains the weakest

407
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 6: of the professional sports unions, despite the sport making more

408
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 6: money revenue wise than any other and frankly more than

409
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 6: most of them combined. But I think history won't be

410
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 6: quite as unkind to him as I mean. He came

411
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 6: in and was immediately in a bit of a labor war,

412
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 6: and it was one in which the owners were willing

413
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 6: to lock people out. It was a really tough circumstance.

414
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 6: And I feel like, yes, they could have done a

415
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 6: lot of things better. But the number of people who

416
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 6: left when d Smith left, who said now at the

417
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 6: time to take my buyout, because this guy coming in

418
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 6: looks like a total clown. It was a charade. How

419
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 6: he was elected, it was everything was a mystery. Guys themselves.

420
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 6: I think some of them didn't even really know who

421
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 6: else they could have voted for. The process was a sham,

422
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 6: and it has sham results. And whoever takes over is

423
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 6: now going to be I don't know, at most a

424
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 6: couple of years removed from the league, opting out of

425
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 6: these TV deals and you know, having this global turn

426
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,479
Speaker 6: it into more of a global sport, and they're going

427
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 6: to cram eighteen games down. People's boats and franchise tags

428
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 6: aren't going anywhere, and we're going to continue to play

429
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 6: more games abroad than ever before. And I just think

430
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 6: they're going to get whatever they want. And the Union

431
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 6: is in an incredibly vulnerable place right now, far more

432
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 6: so than any time during D Smith's the most controversial tenure.

433
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 5: I'm not a smart man, Jason Jason Smith's autam Chris

434
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 5: Plinkson and Jason locking Forth, So good to talk to you, man,

435
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 5: I'm not a smart dude, so I don't really know

436
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 5: the ins and outs of how this affects anything now

437
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 5: for the Players Association, because it seems as if what

438
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 5: the CBA is in place until at least twenty thirty,

439
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 5: So are we just exhale labor piece.

440
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 3: We don't have to worry about about strikes or anything.

441
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 6: How does it affect them? I mean, I feel like

442
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 6: if you read the sixty one page document, considering it

443
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 6: was a tangaroo court stacked against them and a special

444
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 6: master who's never going to look the you know, is

445
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 6: never going to throw too many rocks at h at

446
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 6: the five million pound guerrilla who employs them. But like,

447
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 6: I feel like that collusion case was a win for them,

448
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 6: and they're so inept and so compromised, and J. C.

449
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 6: Trader acted like such a jackass that they collectively decided

450
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 6: not even to spread the word like that they they

451
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 6: kind of sort of won a collusion case. And then

452
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 6: they're so backwards and and and so myopic that they've

453
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 6: been colluded with the league. They'll the fightings. I mean,

454
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 6: you're gonna tell me how it affect the players? Mean,

455
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 6: how do you think it affects with Mark Jackson.

456
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 3: I'm more as the fans.

457
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 5: How it affects us watching a day to day I mean,

458
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 5: we're not gonna have to worry about a lockout or anything.

459
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously no, it.

460
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 6: Effects but me, well, I mean I don't know. I

461
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 6: mean eventually, I don't. I mean I can't answer that

462
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 6: question because I don't. I mean, you're I don't know

463
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 6: that this is rock bottom. I can't remember how many times,

464
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 6: like with Jimmy Has I'm running the Browns, I'm like, well,

465
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 6: this has to be rock bottom. You know, it's never

466
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 6: rock bottom. So I don't. I don't. I mean, are

467
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 6: they going to clean up their process? Like are they?

468
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 6: Is this going to be transparent? If it's not, I mean,

469
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 6: how will it affect it if someone gets in there

470
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 6: who doesn't know what they're doing, Could that, you know,

471
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 6: further hasten or prolonged a potential workstopic? I don't, I

472
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 6: don't know. I mean, is is the PA going to

473
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 6: be ripe with clicks? And is that going to make

474
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 6: it even harder to negotiate? How empowered will this person be?

475
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 6: I mean from a football day to day watching games,

476
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 6: you know, quality of play all that. No, But in

477
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 6: terms of the players, Oh, the players can definitely continue

478
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 6: to get hosed, and even more so than ever by

479
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 6: having completely enough leadership at the helmet. It isn't even

480
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 6: smart enough to know when they've won.

481
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 4: Because that's always been the question in terms of the

482
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 4: rank and file, Jason, like, where we've got the different

483
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 4: levels that players are at, salary wise, tenure, and trying

484
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 4: to get everybody on the same path to vote towards

485
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 4: the same things has always been a challenge. But now

486
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 4: how far removed does someone have to be from the

487
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 4: institutions to be trusted at this point?

488
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know how to answer that. I mean,

489
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 6: it sounds like the last time around, the reps and

490
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 6: the rank and file weren't even on the same page

491
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 6: as to the process itself. And if we're now led

492
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 6: to believe that the executive committee didn't even think this

493
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 6: guy was worthy of it in the first place, yet

494
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 6: they passed it along to sort of the popular vote,

495
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 6: I mean, it's hard to speak about because it was

496
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 6: so shrouded in mystery. We didn't even know Lloyd how won,

497
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 6: and up until recently most people didn't even know who

498
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 6: the hell he was running again, Like I I don't know.

499
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 6: I mean, he clearly was doing clownish, buffoonish stuff. He

500
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 6: wasn't there that long. This started immediately. How yeah, Like,

501
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 6: how did he ever get that position in the first place?

502
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 6: How much of a leadership vacuum was there? And is there?

503
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 6: You know, do they need to have an independent audit

504
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 6: and some third party come in there and make recommendations

505
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 6: like do they need to make it a prerequisite that

506
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 6: whoever they hire next has had significant experience at a

507
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 6: different labor union, maybe ideally a sports labor union, and

508
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 6: has been, you know, in somewhat of a prominent role,

509
00:24:55,200 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 6: whether current or past. Like yeah, I mean, and certainly

510
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 6: there's discord, there's a lack of harmony. I think among

511
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 6: the players. We're talking about what is it right now? Right?

512
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 6: You got ninety guys on rosters, You've got thirty teams

513
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 6: through the math, it's a lot of people at various

514
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,719
Speaker 6: points in their career, with various earning potential and various

515
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 6: earning past and various earning futures. It's it's it's hard

516
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 6: to get them on the same page. I mean, looks

517
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 6: how hard it is to get thirty two billionaires on

518
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 6: the same page, and now we're talking about you know,

519
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 6: twenty seven hundred.

520
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 5: Guys, it's gonna be tough. Jason locking For is our

521
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 5: guest all right on the well kind of on the field.

522
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 3: Stop.

523
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,199
Speaker 5: It looks like Michael Parson's gonna be still showing up

524
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 5: at Cowboys camp. But Jerry Jones is doing Jerry Jones things.

525
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 5: The bottom line more than anything else, he usually gets

526
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 5: these deals done. What kind of situation do you feel

527
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 5: like this ends up being for the Cowboys?

528
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 3: Do they get it done? Does it cost him too much?

529
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 3: Or could this one drag on a bit?

530
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 6: No, they'll get it done. They'll get it done, probably

531
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 6: right before this. These stars, Yeah, it'll call them too much.

532
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 6: They'll have egg on their face. I'll probably regret it

533
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 6: within a couple of years. It's just the same old

534
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 6: dog and pony show. I mean, like we were talking

535
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 6: last week, Garry eats this stuff up. I mean the

536
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 6: fact that there's all this discord and disharmony, and then

537
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 6: he eventually gives the guy more than anybody else would have.

538
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 6: And so you know, the guy eventually gets a smile

539
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 6: on his face. But the star culture continues, and certain

540
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 6: people are propped up and there's an underbelly to that roster.

541
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 6: There's never really cohesion in that locker room because certain

542
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 6: guys are treated like rock stars and you know, everybody

543
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 6: else just is sort of everybody else. And you know,

544
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 6: I think Jerry he's gotten increasingly chalous and slippe with

545
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 6: how he talks about injuries and talks about players worth,

546
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 6: and it really kind of started, you know, around the

547
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 6: Kaepernick stuff, and I feel like it's it's kind of

548
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 6: escalated since then, and he continues to message to that

549
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 6: locker room in a way that I don't think resonates

550
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 6: with a lot of those guys, especially the ones who

551
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 6: aren't being paid as best to breed in their positions.

552
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 6: So yeah, I mean, he'll get his, like that got his,

553
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 6: but he'll end up hurting the team because of the

554
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 6: contract structure and because of what else they won't be

555
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 6: able to do. And he just he's just so stuck

556
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 6: in his own ways, and the older he gets, the

557
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 6: more stubborn he gets, and it's his way or the highway,

558
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 6: and it's just going to be another, I think, pedestrian

559
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 6: season in Dallas.

560
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,560

Speaker 4: week on vacation. Yes, the back end of the week,

586
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 4: he will be sampling Muskrat dinners in Detroit. So if

587
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 4: you're on the streets of Detroit, look out for a

588
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 4: guy wearing nothing but mets.

589
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 3: Garb on purpose. He's going to Detroit.

590
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, he vacation's in Detroit. It's where his wife's family's from.

591
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 5: Oh, very cool. I've never been, so I can't talk

592
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 5: any trash on it. Everything I know about Detroit I

593
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 5: learned from eight Mile.

594
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 4: It really just kind of comes down to this. If

595
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 4: I'm in the summer months and I live in southern California,

596
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 4: where the hell am I going? That's going to be

597
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 4: better Detroit? Evidently. Well, I mean, you know, there was

598
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 4: a kid rock line where he's saying, if heave it

599
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 4: ain't a lot like Detroit, I don't want to go.

600
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 3: That's fair, that's fair.

601
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 5: I just I always took Jason to be a beach guy,

602
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 5: like to get away and want to be in like

603
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 5: a scenic area. But as you laid out, you live,

604
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 5: you work every day in Los Angeles's kind of hard

605
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 5: to beat that scenery on a regular basis, So that

606
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 5: makes sense.

607
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 3: He's pastier than I am, so I don't think he

608
00:29:54,840 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 3: sees the sun. Oh are you guys kind of like powder?

609
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 3: Remember that movie? Is that what we are with Jason White?

610
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 3: To that level?

611
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 4: But you know, I mean, look enough dog walking and

612
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 4: enough soccer tournaments for me. I'm some shade of red

613
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 4: most of the time. At one point, about six weeks ago,

614
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 4: they could have hired me as one of those actors,

615
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 4: you know, like when of the movie's coming out and

616
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, like they're in the third row

617
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 4: and they look like someone from a horror movie or

618
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 4: whatever and they stand there. I could have been a

619
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 4: stand in for the thing. Like I had such a

620
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 4: bad case of sunburn. My skin was peeling and like

621
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 4: got all scaly looking. I could have passed for this

622
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 4: iteration of you know, cousin Richie, who's gonna play him

623
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 4: in the in this current iteration.

624
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 5: It'll get you if you're not cared for the Sun's undefeated. Man,

625
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 5: it'll get you if you're not caring.

626
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 3: No, that's it.

627
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 4: And one you're as pasty as I am, you go

628
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 4: from what I am to beat red really fast. There

629
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 4: is no tan, There is none of that, all right,

630
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 4: So we've got Big Ten media days coming up, and

631
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 4: the billion dollar question, multi billion dollar question when you

632
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 4: talk about the future of college athletics, and we have

633
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 4: many of them that will traverse a little bit over

634
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 4: the course of the night and throughout the week as

635
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 4: we go, is what the playoffs look like after this

636
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 4: coming year, because we'll have a title game on the

637
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 4: nineteenth of January. And then you back that out, so

638
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 4: you get those travel plans in place. But if you

639
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 4: want to go looking further of how you have to

640
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 4: budget and how you have to analyze things, well, it

641
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 4: gets a little more chaotic. Rt your Mark of the

642
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 4: Big twelve likes his five and eleven kind of situation.

643
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 4: You're five champions and you're eleven at large.

644
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 3: But for the Big Ten.

645
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 4: In an interview with Joel Klatt a few weeks ago, Petiti,

646
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 4: the new Big Ten commissioner, outline the idea of the

647
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 4: four four two two one. Now we'll see what he

648
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 4: does and in terms of verbalizing that this next iteration

649
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 4: in front of all the assembled media masses, but for

650
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 4: for the Big ten, four, for the SEC and Greg

651
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 4: Zankee always you know, looking for global expansion his own self.

652
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 4: And then we start going down you know, for the

653
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 4: for the Big twelve in ACC and everybody else as

654
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 4: we go through, so you have automatic bids would be

655
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 4: thirteen of the sixteen as laid out in that interview

656
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 4: with Joel Klatt. And now it's the constant fight for

657
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 4: supremacy as we see teams getting gobbled up in conference realignment.

658
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 4: Maybe some buyer's remorse for schools like USC and some

659
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 4: others when they realize what was could have been if

660
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 4: not for some bad media rights deals. All the way

661
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 4: back then, Hi, I remember that that was fun. But

662
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 4: for tomorrow, I think that's that's the billion dollar question

663
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 4: in all of it.

664
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 3: Chris does he double down on automatic bids?

665
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 5: And you know that interview with Joe Clatt or I

666
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 5: don't know, Joe Clatt talking to Tony Pettitia really seemed

667
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 5: like it was more Joe Clatten. Yeah, yeah, you know,

668
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 5: but they even when it is kind of you know,

669
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 5: convoluted as going for four two and a half two

670
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 5: and a half one, we'll give that third spot in

671
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 5: the Big twelve or the ac ACC or whoever's coming out. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

672
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 5: just it made it made no sense. Listen, It's not

673
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 5: an invitational, it's a tournament, and you don't give automatic

674
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 5: bits outside of a champion unless it's an invitational.

675
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 3: I'm not I was out a fan of this when

676
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 3: it came out. Mike, I don't know where you stand

677
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 3: on it.

678
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 4: I'm a Big ten apologist, a proud Northwestern alum, so

679
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 4: so good for bids. Well, no, I don't agree with

680
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 4: it in a as a radio host and a larger

681
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 4: thought process, but you know, damn it, my guys, anybody

682
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 4: but Illinois quote representing the Big Ten, TD said that's

683
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 4: my job.

684
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 5: But I mean, in most situations, if you're at sixteen,

685
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 5: if you're at sixteen teams, you're probably getting four just

686
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 5: about every single year. If you're the Big ten anyway, right,

687
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 5: you're definitely getting four about every year. If you're the SEC.

688
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 5: You know, the Big twelve in the acy can't support this,

689
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 5: they can't come out. And obviously Brett Yormar a couple

690
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 5: of weeks ago Big twelve media Day down in Frisco, Texas,

691
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 5: he was like, we are five and eleven five automatic bids,

692
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:14,399
Speaker 5: eleven at large qualifiers and they have to be because

693
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 5: they can't take less. The first time they take less

694
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 5: will take more and more from them now that's it, right,

695
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 5: when they're at negotiation, right, they'll take more and more

696
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 5: from them. So you've got to stay strong with five

697
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 5: and eleven if you're the Big twelve.

698
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 3: In the ACC.

699
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,720
Speaker 5: But the Big ten apparently wants to force the SEC

700
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 5: to play nine conference games. But they sure as hell

701
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 5: don't care that the ACC only plays eight conference games too.

702
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 5: You don't hear him grinchin about that at all.

703
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 4: Well, and that's where the curiosity of all this happens,

704
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 4: right when we're talking about the size of the conferences

705
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 4: as it. I mean, I remember back in the day

706
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 4: when the Big ten was still legitimately ten before Penn

707
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 4: State came on, and then after that it was a

708
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 4: land grab and bit by bit, like I actually registered

709
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 4: the big twenty dot com domain name.

710
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 3: Good call, we were heading that we might still be,

711
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:02,839
Speaker 3: we might.

712
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 4: Still want to be aheading there as we go. But

713
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 4: it's just the idea of the absurdity of some of this.

714
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,760
Speaker 4: But also we'd been seeing the prediction of the super

715
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 4: conferences so long ago, right where we just have a

716
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 4: couple of sixteen or thirty two team super conferences in

717
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 4: the end, and everybody else is playing off in their

718
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 4: own little sphere and navigating their own globe, which still

719
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 4: may end up becoming the case as more of the

720
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,760
Speaker 4: rights deals come to fruition and the curiosity here. But certainly,

721
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 4: if you're not the big ten or SEC, you got

722
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 4: to do everything you can to talk about the greatness

723
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 4: of at large teams. Otherwise you're just going to be

724
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 4: lost in the shuffle.

725
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, and especially if you're only in these projections getting

726
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 5: two bids, and that's the case, you gotta say no.

727
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 5: So AC Jim Philip's gonna speak this week to ACC

728
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 5: Media Day coming up later in the week.

729
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 3: We'll learn a lot. This would be a very interesting.

730
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 5: Week to see if anyone really, as your Mark put

731
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 5: it a couple weeks ago, doubles down on their beliefs.

732
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 4: Well, and everybody else still has to figure out how

733
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 4: to pay everybody and where the proper dollars and cents are.

734
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 4: And because you are my college football guy at Plank Show,

735
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 4: find me over at Swollen Doome. We'll talk about that

736
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 4: coming up next as we continue. Because Sarkesian had some

737
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 4: interesting comments on the future of this college football wave.

738
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 3: We got that next on Fox Sports Radio.

745
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,080

746
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 3: I don't know.

Speaker 4: that's all I get all the time at Plank Show,

754
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 4: where you find Chris. You know, we leave no pop

755
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 4: culture stone unturned. Today would have been don knotts one

756
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 4: hundredth birthday, So there you go.

757
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 3: Don Knotts would have been one hundred today. What year

758
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 3: did he go?

759
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 5: That's a good question. I'm looking it up as we speak.

760
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 5: It was two thousand and six, so some time ago.

761
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 3: But there you go.

762
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 4: We've got a couple of other pop culture things we'll

763
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 4: touch on as we roll through. But a legend in

764
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 4: his own right Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is everybody reports

765
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 4: to Oxnard getting things ready for another big run. You

766
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 4: saw the highlight reel stuff. There's Dak Prescott and George

767
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 4: Pickens and all of this fun and excitement on the

768
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 4: first play. That's all finding good. But what did Jerry

769
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 4: Jones have to say about here, squad? What he's expecting

770
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 4: as camp gets underway.

771
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 9: Just because we've signed him doesn't mean we're going to

772
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 9: have him. He was hurt six games last year. Seriously,

773
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,879
Speaker 9: we've signed I remember signing a player for the highest

774
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 9: paid at the position in the league and he got

775
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 9: knocked out two thirds of the year, Dark Prescott. So

776
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 9: there's a lot of things you can think about just

777
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 9: as the player does when you're thinking about committing and

778
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 9: guaranteed money.

779
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 4: There you go, there's the Micah Parsons of one hundred

780
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 4: billion dollar question right there, and he's right right. He

781
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 4: and Mike Brown both took different tax in talking about

782
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 4: guaranteed moneys and what could happen to you? From Mike

783
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 4: Brown of the Bengals talking about Jamar Stewart and the

784
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 4: language of his contract that keeps him a holdout. He

785
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 4: went down the avenue of the worst case scenarios of

786
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 4: potential allegations and incarceration and such. For Jerry Jones, it

787
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 4: becomes Oh, you get hit by a bus.

788
00:38:58,800 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm gonna have him.

789
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 4: This, I don't know if I'm gonna have him, And

790
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 4: then he sideswipes Dad Prescott in the same comment. I

791
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 4: mean that was the Hey, here's my combination as I'm

792
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 4: sidling up to the.

793
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,760
Speaker 3: Pool table with this one. So there's Jerry.

794
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 4: He was also asked about, you know, had he ever

795
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 4: thought about stepping aside from his you know, GM duties

796
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 4: and everything. He started cackling like a madman, said maybe,

797
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 4: you know, little parts of seconds before continuing. But the

798
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 4: Michael Parsons thing is interesting because he has, according to

799
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 4: Jane Slater and others, shown up for camp at Oxnard.

800
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 4: We'll see how much you get participation or whether he

801
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:43,439
Speaker 4: decides to step away. But history says eventually, as Jerry

802
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,919
Speaker 4: even alluded to himself, eventually he pays them out. Saw

803
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 4: what he did when he went down to Mexico to

804
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 4: find Ezekiel Elliott. All those years ago, precedence has been set.

805
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,439
Speaker 4: Players and their agents know they can wait Jerry out.

806
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 5: What do you make of this philosophy that Jerry's had

807
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 5: where he always ends up paying them, Yeah, and he

808
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 5: always says something stupid.

809
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I was going through some old notes.

810
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 5: Last year was the we got no urgency to get

811
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 5: a CD LAMB deal done, and then twenty three days

812
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 5: later he signed him to a four year, one hundred

813
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 5: and thirty six million dollars.

814
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 3: You didn't have it in that moment, and it made

815
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 3: for a good SoundBite.

816
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, And twenty nineteen Ezekiel Elliott, it's not about I'm

817
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 5: not about to do a deal that would shake the

818
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 5: foundation loose. And then a month later gave him a

819
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 5: six year, ninety million dollar deal. So he says all

820
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 5: this stuff. I mean, he's like history where repeats itself

821
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 5: and he ends up paying them in the long run,

822
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 5: but it ends up costing them more because he drags

823
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 5: it out.

824
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 3: What do you make of this approach that he has.

825
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 4: It's bad business but greed, but some of it becomes

826
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 4: the all right, if I'm not one hundred percent sure,

827
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 4: I defended only to that point of if I'm not

828
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 4: one hundred percent sure that I want a guy full time,

829
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 4: long term, especially when injuries have already cropped up, no

830
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 4: matter how productive they may be. Right, because you look

831
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 4: at Parsons' numbers when he plays and what he's meant

832
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:58,720
Speaker 4: to that defense.

833
00:40:59,080 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 3: But then you take the.

834
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 4: Larger scope of what your team has done, is it

835
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 4: wise to pay, you know, top dollar? I mean, look,

836
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 4: I always talk about my tap system. It's the the

837
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 4: patented Mike Harmon tap. I need a thrower, I need

838
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,399
Speaker 4: an attacker, and I need a protector. Beyond that one,

839
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 4: I'm just about to ask you that. So the tap

840
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 4: system is in. It's like the dentistystem. That's it for me,

841
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,280
Speaker 4: or call it the pat whichever one you want, protector,

842
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 4: attack or thrower. You know, you go with it what

843
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 4: you will. But beyond that, then then I got to start,

844
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 4: you know, parsoning out my dollars. So certainly Parsons fits,

845
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 4: you know, what I need as one of my major three.

846
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:39,240
Speaker 4: But I understand sometimes, you know, the reticence to commit,

847
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 4: because we've seen a number of other teams where they've

848
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,919
Speaker 4: committed too early and then all of a sudden they realize, Wow,

849
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 4: now we're really on the hook. In this case, he waits,

850
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 4: and then the back end is that much worse and

851
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 4: the dollar per average, you know, per year average, and

852
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 4: everything goes through the roof because four or five other

853
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 4: guys have been paid. In this case, you know, with

854
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 4: t J. Watt having just gotten his money, Michaeh. Parsons

855
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 4: agents sure as hell ain't coming back on. I'm gonna

856
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 4: take a lot less than that guy, m right, and

857
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 4: then he wants dollar for dollar or a dollar more

858
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 4: because it's a better headline.

859
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 5: Michael Parsons is one of the best defensive players in

860
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 5: the NFL. And to your point, I could not agree more.

861
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 5: I love the tap system. I'm adopting it now.

862
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 3: There you go.

863
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 5: You need your quarterback, you need your left or right tackle,

864
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 5: probably both right. And you saw a couple of years

865
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 5: ago John Gruden he really invested in the right or

866
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 5: didn't really invest in the right tackle, and everyone had

867
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 5: like de Lane Johnson's of the World and others, I

868
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 5: mean even prior to him, Trent Brown, but is left tackle.

869
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 5: You know, if you got a right handed quarterback, but

870
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 5: the attacker doesn't have to be Oh, it's got to

871
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 5: be an edge rusher or it's got to be a

872
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 5: defensive tackle. It can just be the position that is

873
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 5: the best player on your defense. And right now, boy,

874
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 5: Jerry's waiting three years, one hundred and twenty three million dollars.

875
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 3: That was the deal for That was a deal for J.

876
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 6: TJ.

877
00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 3: Watt.

878
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 5: You had Max cro get paid. You had Miles Scaret

879
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 5: get paid. Remember Miles scared wanted to trade. He's like

880
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 5: trade mate, and the next thing you know, he gets paid.

881
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 5: It just keeps driving that dollar up and up and up.

882
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 5: So it's gonna get done, right, It's it's eventually gonna

883
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 5: get done. But now you've got to that number has gone.

884
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 5: The only person who didn't really go up was Max Crosby,

885
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 5: Like his was thirty five point five. Daniel Hunter's deal

886
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 5: with the Texans thirty five point six, Miles Scaret forty mil, TJ.

887
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 3: Watt per season, forty one meal.

888
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 5: It's gonna be a lot of your salary cap and

889
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 5: taking care of the guy whenever you're already a little

890
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 5: bit and wonky on that number for the Cowboys.

891
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:35,240
Speaker 3: Anyway, now we know Michaeh.

892
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 4: Parsons did take the social media a little bit earlier

893
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 4: because he liked and reposted a take from future Hall

894
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,839
Speaker 4: of Famer JJ Watt. We talk about TJ. Let's talk

895
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 4: about his brother quote. Any time you can publicly take

896
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 4: a dig at your star quarterback and your star pass

897
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 4: rusher simultaneously right before the season begins, you just gotta

898
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 4: take it dot dot dot. Nothing makes guys want to

899
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 4: fight for you more than hearing how I'm that you are,

900
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 4: that they got hurt while fighting for you.

901
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 3: Boy, If ever, there was a need.

902
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 4: For the sarcasm font, like I always joke here in

903
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 4: the Fox Sports Radio studio, we're all pretty adept at

904
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 4: it doing what we do, there's some level of snark

905
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 4: and cynicism. No matter how many positive twists we can

906
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 4: take to stories, there's some some snarkiness that comes through.

907
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,479
Speaker 4: I talk about my sarcasm bucket and how it's level

908
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 4: of done this over the course of a four hour here.

909
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 4: JJ Watt would have needed to take that out and

910
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 4: dump that and just reset from start, because every word

911
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 4: of that just gets the tone, tenor and verbiage is

912
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 4: just a masterclass right there and just waving at Jerry Jones.

913
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 5: I know we're up against it for the Seger's update, Yeah,

914
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 5: but is it doing damage to the cowboys with this

915
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 5: approach earning you're out from jering to where they get

916
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 5: paid and everyone smiles, but you remember the process to

917
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 5: get there and what he said, is it affecting things?

918
00:44:59,280 --> 00:44:59,320
Speaker 6: No.

919
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,760
Speaker 3: I In the end, you make your decision.

920
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 4: Look, Jerry's very loyal to his stars, particularly if he

921
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 4: feels like he found you, right and even if he

922
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,839
Speaker 4: takes the side swipe of Dak, you know, the next

923
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 4: time he gets an opportunity to throw flowers in his

924
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 4: general direction, he's gonna tell you that he's one of

925
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 4: the greatest throwers of the football. Ever, I can't I

926
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 4: can't believe. I don't have like a four minute clip

927
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 4: of him or even ai Jerry talking about some of

928
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 4: those darts to George Pickens practice today, right like, Oh,

929
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 4: that's Dak, that's the guy we paid, that's my guy,

930
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 4: right because I mean again, look what he did with

931
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,800
Speaker 4: Ezekiel Elliott. He went down and found him in Mexico

932
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 4: to bring him back and get him paid.

933
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 3: So you know he will do that.

934
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 4: You know, he does that tough love thing and eventually

935
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,320
Speaker 4: writes out the giant novelty check like he's at the

936
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 4: end of a game show. So you know, it's gonna

937
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 4: you just have to wait him out. It's just a

938
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 4: matter of time. Now, how does that affect everything else? Well,

939
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 4: it leaves a fewer dollars to spend elsewhere, that's for

940
00:45:59,360 --> 00:45:59,839
Speaker 4: damn sure.

941
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 5: But you don't think it does long term damage. You

942
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 5: don't think these guys keep in the back of their

943
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 5: mind the fight they had to go through to get it.

944
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 4: They're getting paid and then see their next deal like

945
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 4: once once you get the second one. I mean, if

946
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 4: you're still playing at the level high enough to go

947
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 4: get a monster third, then great. But I think Jerry

948
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 4: has shown it. It may be a painful process, but

949
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 4: eventually you're gonna get your dollars. So if you're anywhere

950
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 4: near the level that you are now, and even that,

951
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 4: what are you seventy eighty percent he's not going and

952
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 4: finding the next shiny object. If he has a guy

953
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 4: that he thinks can play, because that's still his guy, right,

954
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 4: he doesn't let him out the door. Yeah, that's just

955
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,760
Speaker 4: been his history, for better or for worse. And certainly

956
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 4: I know plenty of cowboys fans. My ex wife's dad,

957
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 4: we still exchange texts every year. It's like we're not

958
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 4: winning a damn thing until this guy has gone. And

959
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 4: I know exactly what he means by that, and I'm

960
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 4: not going there. I'm joetivity here, but he ain't leaving that.

961
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 4: Steven or whoever else isn't coming over the top to

962
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 4: make decisions for him. So you just got to ride

963
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 4: the lightning. Look, I'm a Chicago guy. What do you

964
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 4: think I've been waiting for all the positivity and feel good? Yeah,

965
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 4: they won the off season and then rewarded Ryan Poles

966
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 4: before they won a damn game.

967
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 3: How do you think I feel? That's still wild to me?

968
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 3: Still wild to me? I mean, was he was? He

969
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 3: in a contract year?

970
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 9: No?

971
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 3: Two years left? Makes no sense.

972
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 4: Dumbest thing I've seen. Well, actually there's plenty of them,

973
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 4: but you know who's never done.

974
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 10: He's In fact, the Twins put ten balls in play

975
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 10: against him, half of them at exit velocities of one
