Speaker 2: Donalds lost two out of three to the Rockies, But

10
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 2: Sho Hao Tani seems to be okay, So everything is

00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: alright and he expects to and hopes to play on

00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 2: Friday after a day off.

13
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 3: Now, I saw a crazy ass stat Now, through five

14
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 3: hundred and nine career innings pitched, Sho Hao Tani has

15
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 3: a thirty eight and twenty record as a starting pitcher

16
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 3: that is the same and exactly the same innings pitched

17
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 3: as Babe Ruth. And that's one to grow on.

18
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: Wow, that's that's eerie. That that's the that that's the number.

19
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: That's so eerie that he's that close in those numbers

20
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: with Babe Ruth pitching being the being the last true

21
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: two way player, the big threat to play both way.

22
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, that's that's just again Again baseball

23
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: has been played for one hundred and fifty years now

24
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: that I've never seen that, and you may never see

25
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: that again. Truth joined up? Where are all those big

26
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 2: show hey Babe ruth like AI videos like where like?

27
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: How can we haven't seen that a show? Hey meeting

28
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: Babe ruth AI? Them shaking hands, Hey, how you doing great?

29
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 2: And they're talking about stuff? How come we haven't seen that?

30
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 2: Given enough time something like that, you'll find it, all right,

31
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: I'm up with I have no doubt that asking you

32
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: shall receive. But once you go down that path, you

33
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: have no idea what kind of portal you open Smith,

34
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: So be careful. All right. Well, I mean I look

35
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: like I think AI is good for some things. I

36
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: mean a few things. I mean I'm takering with it

37
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: for some stuff too.

38
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

39
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 3: No, I mean there's certainly some applications that I think

40
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 3: there's some positivity to be had.

41
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 2: No, really, and here here's the biggest positivity is that

42
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: now and this is one thing I've noticed is that

43
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: now you can I mean, it's weird to say this,

44
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: you can go to the Internet and find out anything. Right,

45
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: of course you noticed about it, but now it's so

46
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 2: much easier because like Google, you know, being powered by AI,

47
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: you can ask any question you want to and you'll

48
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: get an answer. Now most of the time it's right,

49
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: because sometimes you're like, okay that that answer is not correct.

50
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: But mostly you can say, hey, like fantasy football, should

51
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: I draft Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen and you'll get

52
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: an AI answer. Right. I Clearly you should go to

53
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: people that know what they're talking about, like Mike and

54
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: some others, but you can add, hey, what was the

55
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: name of the character in pulp fiction? Who was the

56
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: bartender that was played by? And like that had come

57
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: up without saying, Okay, how do I find this pulp fiction?

58
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 2: I'll go to IMDb, I'll click on the link, and

59
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: I'll click on the movie and see who it is.

60
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: Like the fact that AI can just answer any crazy

61
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 2: question no matter how you want to word it, like

62
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: you have to worry about wording it the right way. Like,

63
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: that's something that has made the end. It's made the

64
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 2: Internet even faster to be able to find stuff out

65
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: like that. That's that's the one thing that blows me away.

66
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: And that's just something that is maybe a six last

67
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: six month phenomenon. How easy it is for for AI

68
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: to answer any of your question. And again, most of

69
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: the time they're right. I mean, but sometimes you go, oh,

70
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: I really know that's not correct. But most of the

71
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: time AI is right.

72
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's a little more accelerated than the

73
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 3: I want a phone a friend. I mean, I know,

74
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 3: last week we commemorated the anniversary of the first episode

75
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 3: of Regis Filman asking us that very.

76
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: Question, do you want a phone friend? Let's got let's

77
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: fin and.

78
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 3: All of that that we had, because otherwise I'd I'd

79
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 3: be calling you or a Hartman like it, just if

80
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: I didn't know it in my deep reservoir of sports,

81
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 3: pop culture, whatever kind of learnings through the year. I mean,

82
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 3: I go to on YouTube, guys, I think I've got

83
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 3: most things covered now.

84
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: Uh, We'll have more baseball coming up in a little bit,

85
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: because you know, look, clearly, there has been one topic

86
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: of conversation the last couple of days that is scaring

87
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 2: the hell out of everybody. But a couple of days

88
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,119
Speaker 2: ago you and I had a conversation about Caleb Williams said,

89
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: it is twenty twenty five or bust for Caleb Williams.

90
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: If they don't win this year. If you are not,

91
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: they don't win. If he doesn't have a good year,

92
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: they will move on from him because a number one,

93
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: the noise from the outside already, Bear's Nation is ready

94
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: to completely cut bait on Caleb Williams. Right, they want

95
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 2: Tyson Bajen for some reason. Tyson Bagen is so great.

96
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 2: He's a guy. We love this guy. We love, love love.

97
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 2: They're ready to cut bait on Caleb Williams. Every bad

98
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 2: report from camp. Oh, he missed a receiver here, he

99
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: missed a receiver here. Hey watch the Jets practice where

100
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: Justin Fields misses receiver's routinely. And still I'm like, I

101
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 2: think we'll be foun Oh. I know they're ready to

102
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: move on. But at the end of this year, it's

103
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: like how you started the show. Right, If Caleb Williams

104
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 2: is not good, the Bears are gonna sit down in

105
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 2: a room and they're gonna go. Are we sure that

106
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,239
Speaker 2: year three of Caleb Williams is gonna be the best?

107
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: Are we sure that he's going to continue? Because it

108
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 2: would then be the case of Williams being on a

109
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: three year downturn from his first year at USC to

110
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 2: his last year at USC to his rookie year, which

111
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: wasn't that bad, but he wasn't Jayden Daniels and that's

112
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: why he gets all the bad publicity. Plus he got

113
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 2: sacked a lot at the end of the year, but

114
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: it was a bad offensive line. Now it would be

115
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 2: another down year year. Two teams move on from quarterbacks,

116
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,239
Speaker 2: and they've done it before with Justin Fields, where they said,

117
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 2: are we really gonna see something new from him? Or

118
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 2: should we get into the draft to get a new quarterback.

119
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 2: Now it's easy when you have the number one overall

120
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 2: pick and you could say, sorry, Justin, we got Caleb.

121
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: But they've already set that precedent. And you know that

122
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: in three years and a year with Ben Johnson, you're

123
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 2: expecting things to be good and if they're not good,

124
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: they're gonna move on. Right it's Ben Johnson's team. They

125
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: believe in him. If he can't get Caleb Williams right

126
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 2: like that third year, I don't know how you go

127
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: into it with that sort of expectation that things are

128
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: gonna be great for Caleb Williams. Now you disagree with

129
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: me on that, right, you disagree to know. I think

130
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams is gonna get year three after today. I

131
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 2: want to revisit that with you. Okay, sure, Aus. Today

132
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 2: Tyson Bagent had his two year contract extension with the

133
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 2: Bears announced. Okay, he had a press conference. He there

134
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: was an announcement for the extension of a backup quarterback.

135
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: Just think about all these things I'm gonna tell you

136
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: in the next few minutes. Right, backup quarterbacks don't usually

137
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 2: get an announcement, They don't get any sort of press

138
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 2: It's just hey, so and so signed to deal. But

139
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 2: not only does Tyson Bagent get his moment in the

140
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 2: sun where he has a media session and everything else

141
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: you're gonna hear from him coming up in a couple

142
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 2: minutes is a really great moment for him. And hearing

143
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 2: how motionally was. But this is a backup quarterback that

144
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 2: you're giving a pretty good amount of money to. Oh,

145
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: by the way, it can get to sixteen million if

146
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 2: he had certain incentives, which would make him the highest

147
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 2: paid backup in the NFL. I mean not counting Kirk Cousins,

148
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 2: who they signed to be a starter and it is

149
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: getting big. Guys, I say this, the guy who was

150
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: signed to be the backup quarterback, he's gonna make more

151
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: money than any other backup quarterback. So you have pageantry

152
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: and pomp and circumstance and money for Tyson Bagent, the

153
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: backup quarterback. You have Ben Johnson saying incredible things about Bagent,

154
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 2: where normally coaches talk about their backup quarterbacks, but it's like, yeah,

155
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: so and so is doing a really good job. We

156
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: like them. It's great, we got a really good quarterback room.

157
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson goes to the wall for all the things

158
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 2: to say about Tyson Pagent Ryan Poles on National TV

159
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: on Sunday nights, is this guy, He's the hardest working

160
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: guy on this team. Now, I'm not saying Tyson Binge

161
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 2: is not hard working, not the hardest working guy, but WHOA.

162
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: You're on National TV saying your backup quarterback is the

163
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: hardest working guy in the team, working harder than your

164
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: starting quarterback, working harder than some of your star players.

165
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 2: Like you don't say that about a guy unless he

166
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: has a certain standing on the team. You don't do

167
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: this for Tyson Bagent and give him his day and

168
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 2: give him this kind of money and give him this

169
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 2: kind of attention and shower him with this kind of

170
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 2: praise unless you think he's part of our future going

171
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: forward and he may have to start like I. Now.

172
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: This is why I say this is twenty twenty five

173
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 2: or bus for Caleb Williams, because clearly the Bears going

174
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 2: this all in on a young backup quarterback who look

175
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 2: Beigent's someone who clearly could have said, yeah, no, I

176
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 2: like my status right now. I can hit free agency

177
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 2: and maybe get a gig someplace else and where I

178
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 2: can be a bridge guy. Maybe I get genoed or

179
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 2: I get darnoalded or something happens and I can wind

180
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 2: up start. Hey, this is a no, sorry guys, but

181
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: I really want my chance. Yes, you get this money

182
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 2: that you're getting to set you up, and it's a

183
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 2: lot of money for a backup quarterback, but you're playing quarterback,

184
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 2: and you play in the NFL to play, You don't

185
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 2: play to sit and carry a clipboard. The fact that

186
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 2: they did this for him tells me, ay, they still

187
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 2: don't fully believe in Caleb Williams, because you're not doing

188
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: this unless you think Tyson Bagent may have to play

189
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: for you at some point, and maybe part of it is, hey,

190
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: we give him this kind of money, show he's a

191
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 2: part of our future. That maybe gives a little bit

192
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 2: of a push to Caleb Williams that you need to

193
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 2: be doing it great all the time, sort of like

194
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 2: what Jerry Jones was hoping to do when he signed

195
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 2: Trey Lance with to come in and back up Dak Prescott,

196
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 2: what the Packers did by drafting Jordan Love to push

197
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers. But no matter how you slice it, all

198
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: this stuff that they're doing right here and they've done

199
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 2: for Bagent, you don't do for a guy unless you think, hey,

200
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: he's part of our future going forward and he may

201
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: have to play. And we're not really sold on Caleb Williams. Well,

202
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 2: a couple of things to it.

203
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 3: Number one, the pomp and circumstance and what do we

204
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 3: know about the you know a Bears? Okay, what do

205
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 3: we know that the Bears they're gonna take every preseason

206
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 3: off season victory that they possibly can and anything you

207
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 3: want to say, Ryan Pouls, Kevin Warren, all these guys

208
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 3: when they're they're talking, I mean Kevin Kevin Warren at

209
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 3: being asked about a stadium in Chicago and goes, well,

210
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 3: you know, Arlington Heights still in the same county. So

211
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 3: I take it all with a grain of salt. And

212
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 3: when you're asking me about my quarterback that's on the field,

213
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 3: what am I gonna say?

214
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's all right, we kind of like him, he's

215
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,479
Speaker 2: a good guy. No, you're gonna all right, you're gonna.

216
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 3: Sell the hell out of him. So that's what you're

217
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 3: gonna do. So I think that's part of the process

218
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 3: that you go through.

219
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 2: Here.

220
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 3: You've got a quarterback room that you're trying to build continuity,

221
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 3: a coach that obviously came in and liked him. Otherwise,

222
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 3: Tyson Bige and probably would have been gone, no, uh

223
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 3: they he would have found your own backup, your own guy,

224
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 3: brought in someone from Detroit or another guy that you're

225
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 3: familiar with. No, instead you said, all right, continuity and

226
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 3: with Bigent and with Caleb Williams, you got a quarterback

227
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 3: room that you paying a whole lot enough, even if

228
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 3: you're a higher paid you know backup, you're still whin

229
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 3: you dollar cost average with what Caleb Williams getting at

230
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 3: on his first contract and ain't much for the quarterback

231
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 3: room to have a guy that you trust that's been

232
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 3: in the system and is learning, and he's been in

233
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 3: the building, I should say, and obviously is a guy

234
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 3: that Ben Johnson has decided he's got some affinity towards,

235
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 3: as does the locker room. So yeah, the pomp and

236
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: circumstance of trotting him out and will hear the emotion

237
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 3: in his voice, will hear that sound bite? I mean,

238
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 3: it's the Bears winning another headline. Look, it's this guy.

239
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 3: I don't think for a minute there there's anything to

240
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 3: say that. You know, there's a little bit of Hey,

241
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 3: this guy's in the room and they push each other.

242
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 3: I think Caleb Williams would would agree with that as well,

243
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 3: that it's always good to have a guy that you

244
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 3: can bounce stuff off. It seems those two have gotten

245
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 3: along quite well in the time in Chicago. And yeah,

246
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 3: he's there and knows the system. If Caleb Williams does

247
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 3: get injured or to your circumstance and scenario that you know,

248
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 3: it's break glass in case of emergency to keep the

249
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 3: line going for the Bears. It's been a lot of

250
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 3: great offseason. I mean, you called it the era of

251
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 3: good feelings going into last years.

252
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 2: Oh look, look I'm telling you this shot. I'm the

253
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 2: first I will tell you. I want to talk. Caleb

254
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 2: Williams is going to have a really good year, right,

255
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 2: He's in the position to succeed at thirty touchdowns, four

256
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 2: thousand yards. He's got the weapons, he's got the coach,

257
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 2: he's got it. But clearly the point here is that

258
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 2: the Bears don't seem to believe in it. Look forget

259
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: about the fans outside, like again, they want Caleb Williams out,

260
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 2: they want Jim mcmahonback, right, But you know, but just

261
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 2: to see this, like, I think he's going to have

262
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 2: a really really good year, but it's really something to

263
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: see that boy. You know, the Bears don't really seem

264
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 2: to be all in on him. And it really reminds me,

265
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 2: honestly of the RG three Kirk Cousins situation in Washington

266
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 2: about a decade ago, where they drafted RG three Heisman

267
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: Trophy winner out of Baylor, but they also brought in

268
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins. Now a little bit more pomp and circumstance.

269
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins a little bit more I would say, a

270
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: little bit more of a of a star coming off

271
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 2: out of Michigan State than Tyson Bage. It was. But

272
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 2: here's what you have is you have the guy who

273
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 2: you drafted at the top of the draft to be

274
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 2: your president future, and you have another guy who's kind

275
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: of a curiosity. All Kirk Cousins did and all Tyson

276
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 2: Bage has done his sixth seed in every moment and

277
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: every test they've given him. And RG three was really

278
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 2: good as rookie year right, won the division the offensive

279
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year. But in the next couple of years,

280
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 2: RG three couldn't stay on the field, wasn't as effective.

281
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins slowly got his chance, and eventually the Washington

282
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 2: Redskins and then Redskins realized he's our guy. They go

283
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: all in on him, and kirk cousins career was born.

284
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 2: Now I was gonna make, you know, half a billion

285
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 2: dollars over the course's NFL career. So that's kind of

286
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 2: where what this reminds me of, because that's sort of

287
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 2: what the Bears are doing. Yeah, we love Caleb Williams,

288
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 2: he's our guy, but we're going to the wall to

289
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 2: make sure we're protecting Tyson bagent right, Like this is

290
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 2: if you don't like Caleb Williams after this year, you're thinking, okay,

291
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,719
Speaker 2: we're going someplace else to getting a quarterback, right all right?

292
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 2: You would think that, so why are you going so

293
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 2: crazy then to lock up your backup? Then if that's

294
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: the case, right, you would be saying, well, it doesn't matter.

295
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 2: We're bringing somebody new in next year and they're gonna

296
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 2: be the unquestioned starter. Why are you bringing Beije unless

297
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 2: he's that's that itch that you feel like we really

298
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 2: have to scratch because if he does get a chance,

299
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 2: he can really do something. He really it really reminds

300
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: this really hits me RG three and Kirk Cousins all

301
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: over again.

302
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there might be some some to it,

303
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 3: right with Caleb Williams. If he's going to keep exposing

304
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 3: himself to potential big hits, then yeah, you've got to

305
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 3: have a guy at the ready if you think your

306
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 3: roster is ready to compete, which the Bears and certainly

307
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 3: plenty of national pundits and the talking heads.

308
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 2: There locally in Chicago think they can make some noise.

309
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 3: Now, the Vegas folks disagree with the hanging a number

310
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 3: that basically makes them a five hundred team if things

311
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 3: break right, because the divisions, I mean, you're still chasing

312
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 3: all three teams in the division. Even if you can

313
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 3: say Detroit and Minnesota settle back in right, you stole

314
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 3: their coach. The other coach is your guy out there

315
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 3: in New York. You look at the Vikings and a

316
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 3: change of quarterback with Darnold leaving and JJ McCarthy what

317
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 3: he may or may not be. Addison suspended three games.

318
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 3: I drafted him today in the middle of a draft.

319
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 3: I just said he'll be my WR four and eventually

320
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 3: he'll put up big numbers. But we'll see. It's all chaos.

321
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 3: All that to say the Bears are still chasing Green Bay.

322
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 3: You know they can't get around Green Bay. Yeah, they

323
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 3: won for Virginia McCaskey in the last game she ever

324
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 3: saw before her passing. But that's an outlier of thirty

325
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 3: years of my life as a Bears guy. But all

326
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 3: of that to say, yeah, if you think that roster

327
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 3: is ready to compete, then you want a guy who

328
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 3: knows and is ready to go cool break glass. There's

329
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 3: Tyson Bagent. He's a guy that knows the system, knows

330
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 3: the people, knows everything and at worst if it does

331
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 3: break the other way, it goes a team desperate for

332
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 3: a quarterback and you've got a competition. You still have

333
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 3: case Keenum. You've got other guys that are creeping around

334
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 3: that can be UH backups and be that guy. If

335
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 3: someone gets desperate enough, guess what, Tyson Beagent gets spun

336
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 3: off for another running back or wide receiver. There's lots

337
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 3: that can spin off of this, no.

338
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 2: Question about it. Exit out bout of Frasca, Exit Swallen Dome,

339
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 2: RG three, Kirk Cousins A decade later, here it is

340
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams and Tyson Pagent.

341
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 3: Ain't you want another headline today in the offseason? Because

342
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:31,120

Speaker 2: out of Major League Baseball coming up in a couple

376
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 2: of minutes. But the latest salvo out of Cowboys camp

377
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 2: today in regards to the Micah Parsons saga, while the

378
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: two sides don't appear any closer to a contract extension,

379
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 2: was yesterday Adam Schefter said, it's clear. It's clearer the

380
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 2: two sides are headed towards a divorce. Today, head coach

381
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 2: Brian Schottenheimer was asked about, Hey, you know, guy's gonna

382
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 2: have Michaeh. Parsons. You know the season opener is coming

383
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 2: up soon September fourth, got the Eagles, and he said, quote,

384
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, we feel like Mike

385
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 2: is gonna be out there when we line up against

386
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 2: Philadelphia here in fifteen days or whatever it is. He's

387
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 2: then asked with or without an extension, and Brian Schottenheimer said,

388
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 2: I feel good that Mike's gonna be out there against

389
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,479
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Eagles. Now, I say to you, does this

390
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 2: sound like confidence that, Hey, the Cowboys head coach is

391
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 2: standing up really strong telling everybody don't worry, this is

392
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 2: gonna get solved. I just this is all kinds of

393
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 2: stuff in the media. It's Jerry doing his thing, or

394
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 2: is this absolute panic? And here's Brian Shottenheimer just saying,

395
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,719
Speaker 2: hey man, Michaeh, you gotta get here. In a couple

396
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 2: of weeks, we got the Eagles, we're gonna get killed,

397
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 2: and it's my first run here the Cowboys's head coach,

398
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 2: and I don't want to lose thirty eight to nothing.

399
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 2: You really gotta get here. We just need you so bad,

400
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 2: can you?

401
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 3: Ai Shottenheimer into the courtroom scene meant at one of

402
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 3: many and a few good men.

403
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 2: Hel hell, don't look at him.

404
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 3: Then that's how kind of what it is right there,

405
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 3: is like grasping at straws, like trying to be resolute,

406
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 3: trying to have exude confidence because it's your first rodeo

407
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 3: as a head coach and everybody's.

408
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 2: Looking at you.

409
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 3: Because that's one of the things I think with Jerry

410
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 3: in this whole scenario, it's it's been brilliant to a degree.

411
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 3: And I think, well, unintentionally so in that Schottenheimer taking

412
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 3: over as the head coach of the Cowboys has gotten

413
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 3: no run at all, positive negative outside of Dallas. I'm

414
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 3: sure there's plenty because you got to fill a lot

415
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 3: of sports time and sports sections at the back end

416
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 3: of your newscast before you go to and none of

417
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 3: the Squirrel and a human interest story to cap things off. No, no, no,

418
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 3: he's gotten absolutely operate in anonymity. We've been talking about

419
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson a lot. We've been talking about Aaron Glenn

420
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 3: and him having to answer all sorts of questions, even

421
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 3: about practices that he really didn't run like today, all

422
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 3: of that we're as Schottenheimer. This is the first time

423
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 3: he's like, I was a step to the podium. It's

424
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 3: my turn to talk.

425
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 2: Let's go. Yeah. Look, the more time goes on and

426
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 2: there the sides aren't talking, I'm telling you, Yes. Jason

427
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 2: locking Ford joined us early in the show. He brought

428
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 2: up a great point about how he feels the Michaeh

429
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 2: Parsons thing is gonna get solved. It's the first go

430
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 2: around with him in Dallas. Meanwhile, Trey Hendrickson, Terry McLaurin,

431
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 2: there's a lot of history there between the players and

432
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 2: their teams, and that's when things get personal. So those

433
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 2: are situations that you should monitor. But I'm telling you, man,

434
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 2: I talked about a divorce right away with Michah Parsons.

435
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 2: Because he feels the same way he has. Even though

436
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 2: it's his first thing with the Cowboys, he has made

437
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 2: it personal. Not every player is gonna be okay with

438
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones winning the headlines and then being okay with

439
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 2: getting money at the end. The guy went on social

440
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 2: media and said, I no longer want to be here now.

441
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 2: He thinks he's doing the right thing by still hanging

442
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 2: out around Cowboys camp, and he looks absolutely miserable. And

443
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, this is not something that's gonna suddenly, Oh,

444
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 2: Micah Parsons will show up because he feels a sense

445
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 2: of duty, or Michah Parsons will sign a contract because

446
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 2: he feels Jerry Jones has misplayed this thing from the beginning.

447
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 2: And the more time goes on, and the more time

448
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 2: that Micah and his representation in the NFL realized Jerry

449
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 2: Jones really did him wrong by negotiating with him, which

450
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 2: is against the CBA rules. You can't have a guy

451
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 2: in a talk contract with him. Jerry Jones admitted, yeah,

452
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 2: we thought we had a deal. Like the more time

453
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 2: that goes on, Jerry really is a guy that you

454
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 2: can't trust, that Micah can't trust, and he's not gonna

455
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 2: go back and do anything positive to try to say,

456
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 2: here's an olive branch like this is this is the latest,

457
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 2: this is the less And here's Brian Schottenheimer saying, I'm

458
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 2: gonna say something because I'm desperate at this point. Man,

459
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 2: we gotta have Micah. I don't know, I don't know

460
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 2: what else to tell you, but we gotta have him.

461
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 2: We gotta. Like Brian Schottenheimer, his line now should be

462
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 2: we love Micah, we want him here. But in the end,

463
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 2: these are the players here and he knows how how

464
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 2: good he is, and you know, I gotta go forward

465
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 2: with these guys like he would tow that company line.

466
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 2: But this tells you just how the desperate times that

467
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 2: they're in that here he is saying, come on, man,

468
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 2: we need you to come in. Don't don't hold your

469
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 2: breath for Michah Parsons. Don't you know what I mean?

470
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 3: Like, we haven't looked at the Schottenheimer's side of things.

471
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 3: I don't know how many times he's addressed this during

472
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 3: camp and kick the can down the road. But obviously

473
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 3: we're hitting towards eleventh hour as we're within two weeks

474
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 3: of you needing me get up to play the Philadelphia Eagles,

475
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 3: you know, the whole defending champion and division mate and

476
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 3: rival and whatever else you want to get on down

477
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 3: the line with that. So, yeah, it's that curiosity of

478
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 3: the timeline and you're gonna get in your fields. Doesn't

479
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 3: help when your agent one isn't in the room and

480
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 3: we don't know what specificity the conversation was. Jerry thinking, yeah,

481
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 3: we had a deal, might have been as simple as Michael,

482
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 3: we need you on that field. We can't win without you,

483
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 3: so we need to get this done. And it could

484
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 3: have been in very general terms, or he might have

485
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 3: pulled out a huge actuarial table to tell him how

486
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,479
Speaker 3: it was in the best interest to get I don't know.

487
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 3: Somewhere in between the truth lies right in terms of numbers, dollars, cents, years, whatever,

488
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 3: and specificity there versus just a general agreement of hey,

489
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 3: we want to do this with you, we want to

490
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 3: do that with you, and this is what you mean

491
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 3: to us. And you know that the devil's in the

492
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 3: details of all that, whether they get fined, get ducked,

493
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 3: a draft pick, whatever. To where Micah Parsons feels disrespected. Yeah,

494
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 3: you know, sometimes it's unseemly right. He's he's been part

495
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 3: of the media, between his podcast and what he posts

496
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 3: on social media, he certainly chimed in on other people's

497
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 3: contracts and responsibilities or whatever. So it doesn't feel so

498
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 3: good when it comes back on you.

499
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 2: Now, does it.

500
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 3: And certainly something you know he's learning a little firsthand,

501
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 3: and and Jerry not exactly playing with the kid gloves.

502
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 3: You know, he used to doing these things in the media,

503
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 3: and then eventually you get behind closed doors when it's

504
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 3: time to go, it's like, boy, we really put on

505
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 3: a hell of a show, didn't we. You know, It's

506
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 3: like Rocky and Thunderlips. He's throwing them over the ropes,

507
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 3: throwing them into tables and whatever else.

508
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 2: And then after hey, let's get that polaroid.

509
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 3: Okay, you know that's what Jerry Jones is hammering it out,

510
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 3: thinking that's what it's gonna be like. And maybe this

511
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 3: is one where it's different and where it doesn't get

512
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 3: to that point. But I gotta imagine if the dollars

513
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 3: in years and the pomp and circumstance and pageantry of

514
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 3: it all, as Jerry has been pretty good at doing,

515
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 3: does get to that in that eleventh hour that everybody

516
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 3: smiles doesn't mean that the second time it doesn't get

517
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 3: worse if he's got to go back for another deal.

518
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 3: But I would still believe that, you know, we'd be

519
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 3: more likely to get to the happy ending that everybody

520
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 3: wants with a giant novelty check and Jerry grinning like

521
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 3: the cheshire Cat because it all got done, even if

522
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 3: he lost millions of dollars in the end.

523
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 2: Exit. How about a Fresca exit swollen dome. The Chase

524
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 2: and Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. We

525
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 2: got more coming up in ninety seconds, but first time

526
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,960

00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 2: that is true.

Speaker 6: That did happen?

538
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 3: Dear Google AI. That is it true that Moncey Bologna

539
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 3: said she did want to be here?

540
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 6: Google sucks all right, Google AI has given me wrong information.

541
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: So screw Google AI. Whatever.

542
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 6: Screw that I was about to say a bad word. Okay,

543
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 6: let's go, guys, let's chat baseball. The Yankees have won

544
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 6: five in a row. They outscored the race sixty four

545
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 6: and ten innings, and it was John Carlos Sten coming

546
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 6: in clutch as a pinch hitter in the tenth innan

547
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 6: hitting the go ahead to run shot. The Rockies defeated

548
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 6: the Dodgers in Colorado eight to three. Show Hey o

549
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 6: Toani pitched five innings, gave a nine hits and five

550
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 6: earned runs. The Padres blew out the Giants eight to one.

551
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 6: They hit four home runs, Fernando Tattist junior rob Drafael

552
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 6: Devers of a home run. San Diego is now one

553
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 6: game back of La in the nl wes. The Cubs

554
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 6: held on four to three against the Brewers, and so

555
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 6: in the middle of this game, it was.

556
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 1: Like the fifth inning and.

557
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,719
Speaker 6: Milwaukee catcher William Contrera stepped up to the plate with

558
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 6: two men on and one out, So the Cubs broadcasters

559
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 6: started talking about you know, I think I feel like

560
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 6: Contrera's usually hits into a double play and they have

561
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 6: this discussion. All right, if he hits a double play,

562
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 6: will you buy mozzarella six for everybody?

563
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 1: So check it out line drive towards second by Nico Honner.

564
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 2: Nico Honner makes the catch.

565
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 7: Spirit that ball looked like a little bit of a

566
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 7: snow cone and the Cubs win the ball game?

567
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 1: What get guys?

568
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 6: That wasn't it?

569
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 2: My bad? Hold on?

570
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 6: I know here we go here, Sorry, it was a

571
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 6: different Okay, ready, if he hits.

572
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 4: The ground ball and the shore start the six four three,

573
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 4: will you buy Manzi sticks for everybody at the corner tap?

574
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

575
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 4: I don't know if they have Montrella sticks in the

576
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 4: four tap but one to one outside, I'll go have

577
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 4: seas with you.

578
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 7: Okay, one Cubs, let's go more sticks for everybody. Corner tappromta,

579
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 7: look and fire it Manzi sticks.

580
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 6: So the corner tap room, that's where they decided to

581
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 6: buy everybody there cheese sticks Montrella sticks because it's located

582
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 6: in Iowa and that is a hometown of Cubs pitcher

583
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 6: Colin Reya, who induced the ground ball. So as this

584
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 6: what's going on. As this is going on, they were like,

585
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 6: let's buy montrel sticks. Okay, well if this hits a

586
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 6: double play. If he hits into a double play, I'll

587
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 6: split it with you. And now I think you guys

588
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 6: should buy us Monzrelli sticks. Wow, that's what I think,

589
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 6: because you guys are like a broadcasters.

590
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 2: Nobody's ever bought a meal in that. We've never picked up.

591
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 2: It's not enough that we buy wings and fries every week,

592
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 2: at least once for everybody.

593
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 3: That's not enough.

594
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: No, of course it is. Listen, hey, you can ask Harmon.

595
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: I bring in breakfast.

596
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 6: Every Sunday, like I get it, but mozzarella sticks. We

597
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:19,719
Speaker 6: haven't had Monzerelli sticks.

Speaker 1: That's rough for me.

604
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 2: You're right, it's not your fault.

605
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: It's not your fault.

606
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,239

00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 6: start Thursday. Two games Stealers and Panthers, seven Eastern, then

617
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 6: the Patriots and the Giants. That's at eight Eastern. When

618
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 6: it comes to the w NBA, Kelsey Plumb hit a

619
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 6: game winner as the Sparks beat the Wings eighty one

620
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 6: to eighty. Page Beckers dropped forty four points in the loss.

621
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 6: And the latest with Caitlin Clark Fever Star is that

622
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 6: she suffered a bone bruise on her left ankle during

623
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 6: a workout earlier this month and she's been rehabbing the

624
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 6: ankle along with her right growing injury. We're never going

625
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 6: to see her again, and I'm never gonna see you

626
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 6: guys again since I'm not here tomorrow.

627
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: Wow, rests up your night, world, telling us the world is.

628
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 2: Ending on Friday.

629
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: I have here Friday.

630
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 6: Hey, way, my week is messed up.

631
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: I have here Friday.

632
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 2: If the world ends Friday, the Mets make the playoffs.

633
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 2: Oh my god, all right, I'm alright with that.

634
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 3: Right, Okay, that's crazy because you have to be wearing

635
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 3: a sandwich board that said that the end is not earlier. Now, interesting,

636
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 3: if this is the right place, the Quarter tap room,

637
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 3: they don't actually serve food, but they have a Happy Joe's,

638
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 3: which is a pizza place which all sorts of menu

639
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 3: stuff where my cousin actually worked at one of their

640
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 3: locations as a teenager. I believe they do have mott

641
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 3: Matzi sticks as they called them. Yeah, and in Iowa

642
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 3: it's going to be cheaper, so you can actually feed

643
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 3: a lot more people.

644
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 2: Your money's going to go further. It would also it

645
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 2: would also suck if hey, I'll buy you mozzarella sticks

646
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 2: from a place that doesn't serve mozzrelli sticks. You go, oh, hey, sorry,

647
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 2: they don't have it.

648
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 3: The actual bar doesn't, but they team up with you know,

649
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 3: Happy Jege.

650
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 6: Oh the more you know.

651
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 2: There you go begs a bunchy bye. Speaking a baseball

652
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 2: something that looked that fans are scared of fans of

653
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 2: all ages the last few days since Rob Manford has

654
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 2: talked about expansion on Sunday Night Baseball, saying, hey, when

655
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,479
Speaker 2: they get to thirty two teams, when they expand two

656
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 2: more teams, potentially there could be eight four team divisions

657
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 2: and expansions coming to Major League Baseball, and realignment is coming.

658
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 2: And every baseball fan I know hates this idea, whether

659
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 2: you're eighty year years old or fifty whatever. Oh, I

660
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 2: hate it. And I understand that. Okay, yes, the divisions

661
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 2: and baseball and division rivalries. Okay, that's great, but remember

662
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 2: these divisions haven't been around since eighteen hundred. These's been

663
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 2: around for twenty years when they move teams around a

664
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 2: little bit. So understand when they made a whole new

665
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 2: division in the NL Central, this wasn't in the eighteen hundreds. Okay,

666
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 2: this is what I can remember when they did it, right,

667
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 2: So understand that I get that baseball purists. Baseball needs

668
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 2: to be beholden to its legacy and certain things they

669
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 2: can do going to be received. Well, Realignment is fine, Okay,

670
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 2: you know what you want to be scared of this

671
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 2: and this is where half the league is going to

672
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 2: be scared and the other half is going to say, yeah,

673
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 2: I'll roll the dice is when they realign. Right, let's

674
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 2: just say it's eight four team divisions, and as Rob

675
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 2: Manford said, we're doing it because of geography, and we

676
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 2: want teams to play close to each other, spend more

677
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 2: nights at home in their beds, and make travel easier,

678
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 2: all all that stuff. Let's just take what could be

679
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 2: the NL East or the AL East for example, where

680
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 2: suddenly that division, if you're really being beholden to geography,

681
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 2: is the Mets, the Yankees, the Pirates, and the Phillies.

682
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 2: Do I want that division? No? I don't. I don't

683
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 2: want I don't want three of the top five teams

684
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 2: that spend money every year. I don't want to fight

685
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 2: it out with the Yankees and the Phillies every year

686
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 2: for the playoffs the Pirates. Okay, that's fine. You need

687
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 2: to make sure these divisions are fair. Right. It's not

688
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 2: fair that suddenly, hey, here's these big market teams that

689
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 2: gotta fight tooth and nail just to get out of

690
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 2: their own division.

691
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 4: Right.

692
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 2: You need to make sure that, hey, these are divisions

693
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 2: that you have a couple of big market teams, a

694
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 2: couple of small market teams are not putting teams out

695
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 2: there that traditionally are going to be great. Three great

696
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,479
Speaker 2: teams in one division. Like, that's what I'm scared of

697
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 2: that Baseball is gonna do this and they're gonna say, well,

698
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,479
Speaker 2: this makes sense. Yeah, makes sense. But man, the Yankees

699
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 2: don't want to fight with the Mets and the Phillies,

700
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 2: none of those teas. I'm not saying this is a

701
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 2: Met fan, but if that happened, Mets fans wouldn't like it,

702
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 2: Phillies fans wouldn't like it, and the Yankees fans surely

703
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 2: would hate it. Who elsewhere the Pirates fans? Oh wait,

704
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 2: now i gotta go against three great teams. We're only

705
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 2: gonna have schemes for another year and a half. So yeah,

706
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 2: that's what I'm afraid of, is that they go all

707
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 2: kinds of crazy with this, and then you could see

708
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 2: a division in the South that's all the Braves. They

709
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 2: have a bye to the playoff every year because I

710
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 2: play in the Marlins and the Rays, and I mean, really,

711
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 2: that's what I'm scared. You want to be scared of

712
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 2: something realignment wise, that's what scares me.

713
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 3: Well, for schemes, it would be every outing would be

714
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 3: an audition against a future employer. So would you like

715
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 3: this guy as part of your roster? He can walk

716
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 3: off the cross to the other dog.

717
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 2: Right now, it's kind of like what's happening now too,

718
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 2: So I don't know that that's gonna change well, but.

719
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,919
Speaker 3: It would be all in division of course. Say, look,

720
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 3: we talk about that time when the Brewers were in

721
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 3: the al right, we talk about the fact that Montreal

722
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 3: had a team, and we keep going on down the line.

723
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 3: You know, the unbalanced schedule that we had where you

724
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 3: were playing teams in your division nineteen times. I mean

725
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 3: all of those things. Interleague play is now on the

726
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 3: and you play every team like all of this stuff.

727
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 3: It's it's look, we've already bastardized all of the traditions

728
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 3: and the sanctity. We've got an everyday DH in both leagues.

729
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 2: Folks.

730
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 3: All the purists hate that and go on down down

731
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 3: the line. So yeah, this is the next iteration. I

732
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 3: think it comes back to we need a spending floor

733
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 3: that really needs to be propped up based on the

734
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 3: amount of revenue everybody is taking from the national game

735
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 3: as they negotiate with so many of these new entities

736
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 3: coming into streaming rights and everything else, and then that'll

737
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 3: work itself out to a degree. But I understand your consternation.

738
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 3: In Chicago, it's just more opportunity for the local bars

739
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 3: and restaurants to sell more and more and more because

740
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 3: Cubs White Sox brings people out in druves and it's

741
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 3: overtime for security guards and police people.

742
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 2: Exit out about a fresca exit swallen do home. Jason Smith,

750
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 2: The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon,

751
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 2: Hit the Shuffle Mike, Game of the Night in the WNBA,

752
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:35,479
Speaker 2: Kelsey Plum with the runner at the Buzzer, Sparks beat

753
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 2: the Wings eighty one point eighty and first of all

754
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 2: for Kelsey Plum, a big heroic shot from her. You

755
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 2: know and all you gotta if you haven't seen Kelsey

756
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 2: plump play and you watch and you say, yeah, I

757
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 2: know she's left handed. Just watch that final shot. You

758
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 2: can tell, boy, she's really left hand. Like I can't

759
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 2: get to the I can't get to the rock with

760
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 2: my right hand. I'm going from the right wing all

761
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 2: the way around to get to to get to the

762
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,919
Speaker 2: hoop with my left. But still, it's a great play

763
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 2: by her, made possible by the fact that, for some

764
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 2: ridiculous reason, defender got out of her way and gave

765
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 2: her an extra ten feet towards the hoop. I don't

766
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 2: know why she just backs out of the way thinking

767
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 2: she's gonna dish the ball off. There's no time left,

768
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 2: she's got to put a shot up, but like a

769
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 2: second to go. Would you rather Kelsey Plumb, who's a

770
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 2: terrific player and was the all time leading scorer in

771
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 2: college basketball before Caitlyn Clark broke the record. Would you

772
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 2: rather Kelsey Plum, who's been an All Star for the

773
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 2: last few years in the WNBA, taking a shot from

774
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 2: the free throw line, or would you rather be passing

775
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 2: it out for a twenty footer. I don't know, but

776
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 2: I don't know what the defender was thinking I have

777
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 2: no idea, but hey, congratulations.

778
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 3: I do appreciate Kelsey Plumb being asked about Pagebacker, said

779
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 3: we need to play some blank in defense show. I

780
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 3: ask you, is Pagebacker's greater than Caitlin Clark. Dude, I'm

781
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 3: telling you that's gonna be the big hot take to buy.

782
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 3: Guarantee you someone coming off this because look the story

783
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 3: of the game. Page Beckers a rookie record forty four

784
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,919
Speaker 3: points for the Dallas Wings as they lose by one.

785
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 3: Somebody tomorrow, get ready, Paige Becker's better than Kitlyn Clark.

786
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 3: Everybody's gonna forget about what Kitlyn Clark did last year.

787
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 3: Her impact, the assists, everything else that is Page Becker's.

788
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 2: Bet. I can't wait, but I guarantee you it's happening

789
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 2: sometime in the next twelve hours on TV, national, TV,

790
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 2: natural radio. It's happening. What I just did about Look

791
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 2: what I'll say about Paige Beckers is this. I knew

792
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 2: she was gonna be really good. I didn't think she

793
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 2: was going to be this good. I thought it would

794
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 2: be more of a welcome to the WNBA type year

795
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 2: for her. But clearly she should be sending a thank

796
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 2: you note to Kitlyn Clark for saying, hey, thanks for

797
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 2: taking all the arrows and being someone that everybody is

798
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 2: jealous of. I've just kind of been able to slide

799
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 2: it as a number one overall picking. No one wants

800
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 2: to teach me a lesson or found me really hard

801
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 2: or talk about how there's other teams in the league

802
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 2: besides me. Hey, thanks for that, Caitlyn, because I wouldn't

803
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 2: be doing this, but she is. She has been better

804
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 2: than I thought. Really, I thought she was gonna have

805
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 2: a lit little bit more trouble getting into the league

806
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 2: playing on a bad team. Clearly, rike a gunbal Wally

807
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 2: is the big star there. She takes a lot of shots,

808
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 2: but look, she's been injured for a lot of this season,

809
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 2: and Beckers is getting basically a free canvas to say,

810
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take all the shots, I'm gonna set things

811
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 2: up how I want to, and this is gonna be

812
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 2: my rookie year. She's been even better than I thought.

813
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 2: And the WNBA is saying, we are just rolling sevens

814
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 2: the last couple of years with people coming into this league. Man,

815
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 2: we have Caitlin and Angel, now we have Page, We're

816
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 2: gonna have Juju Watkins. Eventually, no matter how many missteps

817
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 2: we have with our public image or what we think

818
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 2: and how we trade our stars, we are getting all

819
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 2: superstar players that people want to see coming in every

820
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 2: single year.

821
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 3: Well, this goes back to our old friends the Simpsons.

822
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 3: What's pulling a homer succeeding in spite of yourself?

823
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 2: Really, that's kind of what the W has been. All

824
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 2: the problems they have had, all the Caitlin Clark, Hadeen

825
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 2: this and Angel Reese and everybody's upset we want more

826
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 2: money and all and this really big contentious CBA negotiation,

827
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 2: and still they keep putting a product out there that

828
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 2: people want to see, which shows you, no matter what

829
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 2: you do, you have a product that people want. People

830
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 2: are gonna find their way. You could charge whatever you

831
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 2: want to for tickets to a Yankee game. If Aaron

832
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 2: judges it in seventy home runs a year, people are

833
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 2: gonna spend money to come see the Yankees, regardless of

834
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 2: whether or not the team stinks. You spent bad money

835
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 2: on other players. Devin Williams, it doesn't matter that people

836
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 2: are still gonna do that. And here's the W where

837
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 2: there's so much bad publicity and really showing that they

838
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 2: can't handle success. But yet still they find at everybody

839
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 2: keeps in on it because they have the players, they

840
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 2: have a product that people want to see.

841
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 3: You mentioned the Yankees, was young Carlo No sipue that

842
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 3: steparlo Issie Homers again?

843
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 2: Come on, I'd mean real, well, yeah, well, look, if

844
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 2: the Yankees are gonna hit seven home runs at night,

845
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna win a lot of game. That's it.

846
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,240
Speaker 2: I'm just saying I think that's gonna happen. I wouldn't

847
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 2: worry about the Yankees if that's gonna happen. Now, if

848
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,280
Speaker 2: they don't at seven home runs a night, Aaron Boon's

849
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 2: getting fired. But seven home runs a night, I think

850
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 2: they can find no way to pull that out. I

851
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 2: think they can do it. Exit out about a Fresco

852
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 2: exit swollen dome. Jason Smith, Mike Carmon coming up next,
