Speaker 1: putting this content out for you every single day. Now,

21
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: we could be on the cusp of a big trade

22
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and one team basically just announced we

23
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: are open for business. Are the Dallas Cowboys listening. But

24
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: let me just say this, because this is this is

25
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: gets a little lost.

26
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: Uh.

27
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: The in the big news today, the Browns have finally

28
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: made their decision. It's Joe Flacco to start the season

29
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: a quarterback, right. Joe Gabriel was up and down good

30
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: good moments this past weekend. Shidora Sanders very good the

31
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: week before it still had some questionable moments, but more

32
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: good moments than bad. Kenny Pickett is dinged up. We

33
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: knew this is gonna happen for Joe Flacco. We knew

34
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: he was gonna start the season. And again he's my

35
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: first pick in the five quarterback in the parlay Flaco first,

36
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: then Kenny Pickett next. Just remember how we all thought

37
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco's career was over in twenty nineteen pre pandemic.

38
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: We thought Joe Flacco's career was over. After Baltimore decided fulling,

39
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: we have to go for Lamar Jackson. He's our guy,

40
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh saying, hey, I love you. Joey won his

41
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, But you know, I'm really if I didn't

42
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 1: embrace Lamar Jackson, I'm getting fired to somebody else in

43
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: here coaching this guy so they push him out. He

44
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: goes to Denver. He plays half the season. He wasn't

45
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: very good. That was it. Like Joe Flacco was done

46
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: at that point. It was does he retire? Does he

47
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: want to stick around being a backup? And there he does.

48
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: He kind of kicks around the NFL the next few years.

49
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 1: He's the backup with the Jets, which is like, my goodness,

50
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: the worst years he had was with the Jets, right,

51
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: kick things around Jets Jets backup, got a chance to

52
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: start a handful of games here and there. You know,

53
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: wasn't great, wasn't trendously awful, was okay? And now here

54
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: he is now in twenty twenty five, after going to

55
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: the Browns where he was really good in twenty twenty three.

56
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: Those are the Colts last year for a few games,

57
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: where again he was really good, you know, for a

58
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: guy who it was forty years old. And now here

59
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: he is again starting Week one of the NFL again,

60
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: a guy we thought was done pre pandemic in twenty nineteen,

61
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: six years ago, we thought Joe Flacco was too old

62
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: and he was finished near he has now started. Now

63
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: He's not starting for a great team, and it's not like, hey,

64
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl champ said, hey, we're picking you Joe Flacco.

65
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, sure, Joe, you're coming into start instead of

66
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: Jaalen Hurts. A nice job, go get him. But this

67
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: still we again. Six years ago he was done and

68
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: here he has started, like that was some sort of perseverance.

69
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 4: Well, it's also an indictment on the system and evaluation

70
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 4: of quarterbacks and not letting things cook the proper temperature right.

71
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 4: And you go to a restaurant and sometimes you're like,

72
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 4: you know, the chicken didn't feel right now, that probably

73
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 4: needed a few more minutes under the broiler, or the

74
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 4: steak that came out. Maybe you're not one that likes

75
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 4: it medium. Well, no, you wanted a little more charred.

76
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 4: Whatever the case may be, you get you gotta let

77
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 4: some things cook. And we've seen Colts being a great

78
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 4: example of maybe the guy needed to learn for a

79
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 4: full year instead of hey, kid, get that helmet, get

80
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 4: out there. And we watched them take many turns in

81
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 4: the post Andrew luck like they couldn't get out of

82
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 4: their own way. Ersa in the front office of let's

83
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 4: sign a bunch of guys that are on their last

84
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 4: legs and give them a shot with Joe Flacco, even

85
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 4: go back to twenty one, you know, was winning and

86
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 4: got them to the playoffs. Like it wasn't great looking football.

87
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 4: Oftentimes the touchdown to interception ratio was suspect and usually

88
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 4: on the wrong side of things, but he gave them

89
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 4: a chance and their defense was good enough to close

90
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 4: some games out. But all of that to say, you know,

91
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 4: we're looking at sixty plus quarterbacks starting every year in

92
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 4: the National Football League. The last five six years, we

93
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 4: have watched that become a fairly continuous growth spot of

94
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 4: if you can just hang around, eventually you're gonna find

95
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 4: your way into a start. Now starting week one for

96
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 4: one of the thirty two not something I thought would

97
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 4: have been on any of our bingo.

98
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 1: Just keeps finding a way to start in the NFL,

99
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: whether it because of injury, whether it's because a quarterback

100
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: situation didn't work out. Now, clearly, if you're an NFL team,

101
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: you're like, if you signed Flacco, that means that's a

102
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: bad sign that you know your quarterback room is not

103
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: working well. You've decided you don't trust any of those

104
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: guys in the room. Otherwise you wouldn't bother or Joe

105
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: Flacco is the curse. Hey, we're gonna sign Joe Flacco

106
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: to be a backup?

107
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 5: No, no, do that.

108
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: That means, all of a sudden, our number one guy's

109
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: gonna get hurt or stink, and Flacco's gonna have to play.

110
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: Because that's what happened with the Jets.

111
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,679
Speaker 4: Because he starts getting in to the meeting rooms.

112
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: What happened with the Colts is happening everywhere. That's his

113
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: last three teams.

114
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 4: But he comes in and you know, we'll just name

115
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 4: him a superhero. He's just doubt. He gets in the

116
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 4: room and all of the things you thought you knew

117
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 4: go out the window. Really, that's the read you're gonna

118
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 4: make on that. You sure, that's the reed you would

119
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 4: make in this That's what you're saying on the whiteboard.

120
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 4: That's what you're telling coach and OC and everybody associated here.

121
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 4: You're telling us that's the reed you would make in

122
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 4: a game situation. Well, I don't know, Joe, I don't know,

123
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 4: And all of a sudden, the confidence is shot. That's

124
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 4: what he's doing. That's his superpower.

125
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: What about Joe fly? No, you know what's gonna happen

126
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: to us? Fine, well, I just know now it's not

127
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: gonna work out. Whatever team he goes to. You know,

128
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: he walks into that quarterback room and all of a

129
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: sudden he cools it. He just cools it on that guys.

130
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 4: Walking in perfect hair, and they're.

131
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: Gonna get hurt. It's gonna be terrible.

132
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 4: Look at the left.

133
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: Look, okay, go go back.

134
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 3: Now.

135
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: Last year with the Colts, a quarterback room was insanely

136
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: up in the Anthony Richardson wasn't good, couldn't stay healthy.

137
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: They had to go out and sign Daniel Jones and

138
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: it's still a mess. Okay, before that Browns again off

139
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: his couch, right because.

140
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 4: The Brown come Player of the year.

141
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, you had like stand like seven guys that they'd signed. Okay,

142
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: use is how bad the quarterback room was. We got

143
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, he was great before that the Jets. You

144
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: know what the quarterback room was like with the Jets

145
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: for those three years when he was there, right, the Broncos,

146
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: things so bad. We gotta get out from I gotta

147
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: get out from under Joe Flacco. The last four teams,

148
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: the quarterback rooms were all a mess. Was that Joe

149
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: Flacco to help or was it Joe Flacco cooling the

150
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: quarterback rooms.

151
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 4: Maybe he's mefisto.

152
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: Joe.

153
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 4: That is kind of interesting though, now he's full William H. Macy.

154
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 4: He's the cooler I like doubt. I would think I'm

155
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 4: gonna use that create my own comic of him.

156
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: So elsewhere in the NFL, maybe you saw this headline today.

157
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: The Patriots are ready to wheel and deal at the

158
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: most salary cap space in the NFL. Signed a bunch

159
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: of players that have a lot of salary cap space.

160
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:26,559
Speaker 1: At least Bill Belichick left the cupboard bereft of talent,

161
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: but also bereft of contracts. So there's that.

162
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 4: Well, I mean the latter is what you'd really want

163
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 4: if you're taking over a full regime, aren't you.

164
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you want it to be Yeah, set

165
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: it up for the next guy. We're not paying anybody

166
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: out No, great, I'm outstand now this is the guy

167
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: after the guy. So it's even.

168
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 4: Better for this is like the beginning of a Bob

169
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 4: Ross episode where you've got a blank canvas.

170
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: Let's go happy little clouds.

171
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 5: So today.

172
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: VP of Player Personnel Elliott Wolf said that the team

173
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: is open for business if the significant trade opportunity presents itself.

174
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: Now here's the quote. Absolutely, we're talking to all thirty

175
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: one teens and trying to do what's best for us.

176
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: Those things are often a lot more complicated to the

177
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: fans and some others would like to make you believe.

178
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: But if there's something we think can help us, we

179
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: definitely be open to it. All Right now, the Patriots

180
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: are undefeated this preseason. They got a lot of good

181
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: feeling going on right there. Rabel's a perfect coach. I mean,

182
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: he is the guy you talk about people that fit.

183
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: That's the job he's always wanted. He's there. He's building

184
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: a culture. Look again, I'm afraid because I feel like, Okay,

185
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: I like the culture that Aaron Glenn is building, but

186
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: I feel like a year from now, I'm gonna say, now,

187
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: the AFC East is the deepest division in the NFL.

188
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: Why could we play at least one year the division stakes? Now,

189
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna be on the rude.

190
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 4: So you think his culture building is better than your

191
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 4: culture building?

192
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: His culture building is great, but his culture building is great.

193
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn's culture building is great. The bills already are great.

194
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 4: Well, you know what, when Eric gotten bloodied in a

195
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 4: middle of a camp fight. But he doesn't want it enough.

196
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: Understand that this is about one and Rabel being the coach,

197
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: is being the defensive coach. This is not about hey, hey,

198
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: there's a lot of high profile players who are unhappy.

199
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: It could be Terry McLaurin, it could be Trey Hendrickson. No,

200
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: this does not help the Patriots. Okay, getting twenty nine

201
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: and thirty year old players does not help them. Well yeah,

202
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: would it help them on the field, of course when

203
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: you bring in a player who's who's that? But this

204
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: is not the Patriots are not building for hey, a

205
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: shot at the Super Bowl this year. They are trying

206
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: to build. This is all about the Patriots firing a

207
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: missive and putting up a flare telling Jerry Jones, if

208
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: you want to trade Micah Parsons, we can do it right.

209
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: We have the salary cap money to do it. They

210
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 1: have the draft capital to do it. Micah Parsons. That's

211
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: the guy. You don't do any other You don't trade

212
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 1: any other high picks for for either Hendrickson or McLaurin.

213
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: Like these guys, they're good players, but they're thirty years old.

214
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: Would McLaurin help in theory. Drake May, Yeah, but you

215
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: signed a bunch of guys looking. I don't know, it's

216
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: the fun. Diggs has left, but you have some guys there.

217
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: But you're not going crazy. You're not saying, well, let's

218
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: team Drake May up with a thirty year old wide receiver,

219
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: but Michah Parsons, who could come right into that defense

220
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, as good as it is,

221
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: make it even better because you've got some all pro

222
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: caliber players on there, and and Vrabel building. This is

223
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: how you build. This is the Patriots letting Jerry Jones know, Hey,

224
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: we're open, we have picks, we have the money. We

225
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: can make a deal happen very easily. Now I want

226
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: to think they're calling him on the phone, but this

227
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: is out in public as well. Maybe to get Micah

228
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: Parsons people to understand, Hey, the pick, would you like

229
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: to go to the Patriots? Like to go play for

230
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: Mike Rabel. He'd be your guy, he'd love us. There's

231
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: many reasons why the Patriots would get this out there,

232
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: but they want everybody to know we are open for business,

233
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: and there's nobody else out there available via trade that

234
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: fits to what the Patriots want to do, which is

235
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: we're building young, we want superstar players. We're willing to

236
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: pay for it. I mean, that's not gonna They know

237
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be cheap. They're gonna have to pay

238
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to give him a contract. But

239
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: they're saying, we are willing to do this. Jerry Jones,

240
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: call us, because Jerry Jones. They want Jerry Jones to say, Well,

241
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: they seem desperate. So maybe we'll call them, see what

242
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: I can get, and I'll get a big deal and

243
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: I have to worry about paying a guy that maybe

244
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: doesn't want to stay anymore. And I'll figure out a deal.

245
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: I'll call Belichick. What do you mean he's not okay, No,

246
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: but he's that Oh okay, Well, well then get Grogan

247
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: on the phone. So this is this is, this is

248
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: this is they're lighting themselves on fire saying, hey, call us,

249
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: we can do this. They want this to be public

250
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: and Micah parsons this is not about anybody else besides him.

251
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 4: Look at you invoking shades of Midsummer as you're giving

252
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 4: this analysis here. Uh look, you got ten draft picks

253
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 4: to you. You got ten draft picks on the board

254
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 4: right now for the Patriots and the analysis of look

255
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 4: at the here's your top trade options, the guys that

256
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 4: are obviously in the news, and you know, we'd be

257
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 4: curious to see what other teams if you start kicking

258
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 4: the can, or you might find another player or two

259
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 4: that he's on the happy and it hasn't bubbled to

260
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 4: the surface, or that is now expendable based on what

261
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 4: you've seen in camp, because I imagine we've got we've

262
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 4: had a couple of minor moves, but maybe we see

263
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 4: more in that regard. As for Hendrickson and McLaurin, you're

264
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 4: absolutely right. I'm not giving up draft capital and or

265
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 4: player right and then having to pay these guys thirty

266
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 4: five million dollars a year. That just negates a lot

267
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 4: of the flexibility that you'd given yourself, unless you think

268
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 4: that that runway to domination is that short, which I

269
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 4: don't think it is. For the Cowboys, still be shocked

270
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 4: if Michaeh Parsons doesn't get the eleven you know, forty

271
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 4: eight Hall that gets signed at eleven fifty nine ahead

272
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 4: of becoming a pumpkin with Jerry Jones and the Cowboys

273
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 4: It's like, hey, have we milked this long enough?

274
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 5: All right?

275
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 4: Go sign the kid?

276
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: Haven't made a headline in forty eight to seventy two hours.

277
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: Gotta say something? Yeah, do I say?

278
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: So?

279
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: I forget last time? Did I say something good or

280
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: say something bad? Because I go good good in the opposite. Now,

281
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: all right, I gotta gotta keep everybody on their toes.

282
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 4: There's a lot of craziness going on with that documentary,

283
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 4: but I don't think people care. I think they know

284
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 4: those stories. So did I hype up the Milton kid?

285
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: Yet?

286
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 4: Did I do that?

287
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: Everybody got to see him play Saturday. I'll tell you

288
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: that that that's not gonna go anywhere. Can't do that anymore.

289
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: It's out all right at the window. So I guess

290
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: I gotta pay him. What do we got? What do

291
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: we got?

292
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 3: No?

293
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 5: Really?

294
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: The cowboy and look the cowboys. As time goes on,

295
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: they're realizing Michah Parsons is a different kind of dude,

296
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 1: and the fact that there's been nothing it should speak volumes.

297
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones should have been falling all over himself to

298
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: talk about keeping Michaeh Parsons happy. Parsons should be sitting

299
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: around saying, hey, everything's gonna get done. Things back, but

300
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,599
Speaker 1: you're just getting nothing. You're getting absolutely nothing. Patriots just

301
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: saying we're here. They're jumping up and down. We're here,

302
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 1: We're here. They're Tom Hanks on the island going well,

303
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm here, just right here, long, im right.

304
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 5: Here, just got there.

305
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: They want that trade, they want Michael Parsons, because they're

306
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: also standing there with the giant novelty size blank check

307
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: to try to get the attention of Parsons and all

308
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,239
Speaker 1: of his management.

309
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,040

342
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: friend Mike Harmon. It looked like the Dodgers solved all

343
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: their problems this weekend with a sweep of the Padres.

344
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: But uh, a big misplay by ta Oscar Hernandez and

345
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: right field, who has had a season full of showing

346
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: maybe he's not quite the outfielder he once was, and

347
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: the Dodgers losing walk off style to the Rockies. We'll

348
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: get to that in a second. Joining us now in

349

350

Speaker 1: the big news as we get set for the stretch

351
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: run in Major League Baseball. Then MLB Network insider are

352
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: extraordinaire on Twitter at John Morosi. Fresh off a successful

353
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: stint at Williamsport, John Paul, what's happening man? How is

354
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: your weekend?

355
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 3: I am outstanding and it is successful because, of course, Jason,

356
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 3: your New York Mets won the game. I am now

357
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 3: in the second half of the season one and oh

358
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 3: while covering Mets games. In terms of the Mets, your

359
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 3: team prevailing, and I am a big believer in this.

360
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 3: The Mets are going to enjoy the Williamsport bounce. They're

361
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 3: going to be so full of the joy they experienced

362
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 3: yesterday it's going to carry them right through the final

363
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 3: quarter of the season and they, my friend, will be

364
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 3: a playoff team.

365
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: Well let's okay, Well I love that, and let's be honest,

366
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: really it is the bounce they're enjoying from the new

367
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: favorite for Cy Young, n NL MVP and Nolan McClain.

368
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Olan McClain. Bounced Saturday. Sunday was great,

369
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: But that bound Saturday, that was like, all of a sudden,

370
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: the color just rushed back into the knicks, into the knicks,

371
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: into the Mets faces, and suddenly he's like, Okay, now

372
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: we can go play again. We have a pulse.

373
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 3: That's the other team in orange blue, by the way,

374
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 3: But yes, and and the Pistons should have won that series.

375
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 3: But I digress. Reconding McLain, it was interesting again. I

376
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 3: was there yesterday. I talked to John Gibbons before the game,

377
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 3: of course, Mets bench coach, longtime major league manager, and

378
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 3: he had a lot of really good things to say

379
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 3: about McLean. And now Gibbey has seen a lot of baseball,

380
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 3: He's seen a lot of kids come up and make

381
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 3: their debuts. I think he was very impressed by McLean's poise.

382
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 3: The stop, and also his ability to defend and really

383
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 3: defend his position very very well. It's the little thing,

384
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 3: Jason that go into the ability to manage a game,

385
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 3: manage the ups and downs of a pennant race. And now,

386
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 3: as far as I'm concerned him, he is. He is

387
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 3: in this rotation for the indefinite future. I mean, I

388
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 3: don't see anybody else is going to come in and

389
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 3: take a spot from him. So this this spot will

390
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 3: belongs to him for the balance of the regular season,

391
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 3: maybe even beyond that. But I thought his ability to

392
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 3: make pitches against the quality team Seattle had won the

393
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,959
Speaker 3: series opener there on Friday and surely came in there

394
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 3: with a lot of momentum. They're a really good team

395
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 3: that's probably gonna go to the playoffs too. And I

396
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 3: think the way that McLean pitched on Saturday was exactly

397
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 3: what the Mets needed. And then of course the next

398
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 3: step was going there on Sunday. And I'll say that's

399
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 3: a couple of quick stories. Number one, brand and Neimo.

400
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 3: I've covered every single Little League Classic there it's been.

401
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 3: We've now had eight of them. It's one of my

402
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 3: favorite days of the baseball Here Brandon Neimo signed more

403
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 3: autographs yesterday than any other player I've ever seen. Now

404
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 3: that's unscientific because I not, of course sit next to

405
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 3: every single player, but just from what I saw, Brandon

406
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 3: Nemo was a true man of the people. There was

407
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 3: one little kid who ran up to him and just said,

408
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, I got Brandon Nemo's autograph and ran away.

409
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 3: It was just it was the pure joy of baseball.

410
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 3: That was Number one cool moment. The code Number one

411
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 3: cool moment was Code I Singa explaining to the Team

412
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 3: Japan players how to throw the ghost forkball in in

413
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 3: the rec ordom. There's a little reck room in the

414
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 3: dormitory where the kids stay there at the League World Series,

415
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 3: and Senga was in there showing them how the ball

416
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 3: rotates off your finger to be able to get the

417
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 3: dropping action. And I just looked at the expressions on

418
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 3: the kids' faces, the awe they had. I mean, look,

419
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 3: he's one of their pitching idols in Japan, and all

420
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 3: of a sudden he's standing in front of you giving

421
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 3: you an impromptu pitching lesson while you're playing in the

422
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 3: Little League World Series. Wrap your mind around what that's like.

423
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 3: At twelve years old, and that's those kids experience. And

424
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 3: just to know that you're watching one of the great

425
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 3: and enduringly awesome moments of someone's life and fold right

426
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 3: in front of you is a pretty cool thing. And

427
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 3: that happened times twelve on numerous ac Asians yesterday.

428
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, the giddiness of the players all in the pre

429
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 4: pregame stuff and all the way through just infectious.

430
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: JP.

431
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 4: One thing that the Dodgers had hoped that winning a

432
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 4: sweep of a series against the Padres would continue the

433
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 4: good vibes today as they go to Colorado. Well, got

434
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 4: swept by the Angels, sweep the Pads and now you

435
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 4: can face a red hot Rockies team win's of seven

436
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 4: of eight. Now, JP, Wow, crazy, But what do we

437
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 4: do with this squad?

438
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 3: Well, so for the Dodgers, it's interesting. And you know,

439
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 3: Justin and I chatted a bit before before the segment started.

440
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 3: I don't know if you're going to start having to

441
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 3: defense late for TASCAR and get in a little better

442
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 3: glove out there. Potentially obviously based on it being a

443
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 3: tie game, that wasn't really in play tonight because you

444
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 3: still had to try to win the ball game and

445
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 3: you wanted his bat in the lineup. But at some points,

446
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 3: as my great mentor John Lowe told me years ago

447
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 3: when I was a young ball writer, that when you

448
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 3: get deeper into the season, especially in the playoffs, baseball

449
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 3: becomes a game of getting outs. It becomes a game

450
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 3: of just getting outs, and you need to have your

451
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 3: best defensive team out there at some point. And and

452
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 3: that's where I start to wonder, this is a team

453
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 3: that as Mookie comes around, and certainly he had a

454
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 3: huge weekend, you look at at show A, you look

455
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 3: at Freddie, look at will Smith. Obviously Munsey being out

456
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 3: hurts them in this regard, but you should have enough

457
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 3: thump at the top of the lineup that maybe you're

458
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 3: able to make more of a defensive play at a

459
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 3: different spot of the lineup to be able to just

460
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,479
Speaker 3: preserve late leads or keep a late game tight. As

461
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 3: you saw tonight. Again, I don't think that. I do

462
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 3: not think at all that Roberts aired by having him

463
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 3: in the game. It's a tie game. I'm not really

464
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 3: sure what he's supposed to do in that situation. But

465
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 3: I think in general, maybe there are some games here

466
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 3: and there where you're gonna put call in the game

467
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 3: more often, or or just make some different defensive decisions

468
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 3: with Pattes or others to just try to find a

469
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 3: way to have your best defensive team on the field,

470
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 3: because this team in general, guys, I'm miss telling you.

471
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,959
Speaker 3: I still like the Dodgers a lot, but they're just

472
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 3: not quite as crisp in all areas of the game

473
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 3: as they were a year ago. And I think tonight's

474
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 3: loss was the latest illustration of that.

475
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,959
Speaker 1: John Paul Morosi, our guest Jason Smith, Mike Harmon, live

476
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 1: from the Fox Sports Radio studios. All right, let me

477
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: take you back now off the fielding back to Williams

478
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: Sport for a couple moments here where Rob Manfred on

479
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 1: the broadcast last night went into great detail about what

480
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: could potentially be radical realignment to Major League Baseball. They

481
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: want to expand, get to thirty two teams, and all

482
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:45,239
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the national media and social media has

483
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: run them up with it's going to be just like

484
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: the NFL. There's going to be eight four team divisions

485
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: and wild cards. Like you heard what he had to

486
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: say last night, you digested it for a day. What

487
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: do you see as the path forward here? Judging by

488
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: what Brod Manford talked about.

489
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 3: I think what you're describe is very possible that we

490
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 3: could get to eight four team divisions. And to be fair,

491
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 3: I realized he said it on national TV and there

492
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 3: are a lot of people watching. He has said versions

493
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 3: of this many times in the past. So what I

494
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,479
Speaker 3: heard him say last night and I went back and

495
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 3: listened to it, it struck me as noteworthy, but not

496
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 3: terribly newsworthy in the sense of it being a revelation

497
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 3: of something being new. So that's it's it is so

498
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 3: to the point that it's it's out there now and

499
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 3: being discussed. I think that's good. And it also is

500
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 3: just further evidence of the fact that this is this

501
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 3: is something that's been discussed and this is not the

502
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 3: first time Ron Manford has said something like this. And

503
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 3: so so those that like the idea, great, because there's

504
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 3: a decent chance something like this is going to happen

505
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 3: down the line. But those that hate the idea, I

506
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 3: guess the lesson I would say to you to take

507
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 3: a few years before this gets worked out, because the

508
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 3: only way that you're gonna do radical realignment is if

509
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 3: and when you expand. I happen to think that they

510
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 3: will expand, but it's probably more like end of the decade,

511
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 3: early twenty thirties before you see a team in take

512
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 3: your pick, Portland, Oregon, Salt Lake, Nashville, Charlotte, wherever they

513
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 3: end up going. Austin, Texas has been one of my favorites.

514
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 3: It's probably somewhere in that in that range of teams

515
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 3: that I just mentioned. Take two of those five. Two

516
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 3: of those five teams go to thirty two get a

517
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 3: massive expansion fee. Owners like that. You do it right

518
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 3: around the same time that you're you're sort of reimagining

519
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 3: the the media rights landscape of the sport, and baseball

520
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 3: probably looks a little bit different by the early twenty thirties,

521
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 3: but a big thing. And the Commissioner has talked about

522
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 3: this before and he referenced it last night and again

523
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 3: not for the first time, that that what radical realignment

524
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 3: allows you to do is to play more of your

525
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 3: games in the time zone that your city is in.

526
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 3: And take, for example, a team like the Texas Rangers,

527
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 3: who has three teams in their division that play two

528
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 3: time zones away, all on the West Coast. And the

529
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 3: Commissioner's point, and I think it's a fair one is

530
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 3: is you want to make your product as easily consumed

531
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 3: and viewed by your viewers and your fans as possible.

532
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 3: And so while the old time traditional fan might not like, Hey,

533
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 3: why are the Rangers now going to be in the

534
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 3: same division as the Royals and the Cardinals? That doesn't

535
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 3: make any sense. Well, fine, it's like change is inevitable.

536
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 3: We now have a universal DHL. It's not a very

537
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 3: big leap to doing this. And the idea is to

538
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 3: make the game as accessible and for more people to

539
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 3: watch it as possible. And if it looks a little

540
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 3: goofy for one or two years, if it helps kids

541
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 3: in Saint Louis watch more Cardinal games, it helps more

542
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 3: kids in Texas watch more Ranger games, I'm out for it.

543
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 3: And and the other thing, Jason and Mike is this

544
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 3: and you both you've lived in these cities and these

545
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 3: are your teams. That's all make this point. You might

546
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 3: have people saying, oh my gosh, the Cubs and the Socks,

547
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 3: they can't be in the same division. And people might say,

548
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, the Yankees and Mets, they can't be

549
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 3: in the same division. Guess what y'all are gonna watch. Okay,

550
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 3: that's it, y'all are gonna watch. No one. No one's

551
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 3: gonna have any issue. Okay, you're you mean to tell

552
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 3: me no, No, I just I can't watch it. We're

553
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 3: in the Subway series more often, and we might have

554
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 3: a first round series between the Mets and the Yankees,

555
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 3: and as a result, nah, I'll pass. I'm out. No,

556
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 3: You're gonna watch, just like you always watch, you know

557
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 3: when when the Giants play the Jets in whatever situation

558
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 3: that is. I mean that you're gonna watch. You are

559
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 3: going to watch. These are These are resulting in more

560
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 3: games that will that people will want to watch. And

561
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 3: the Angels Dodgers' rivalry is real. You could have a

562
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 3: division now where it's gonna be potentially, ain't Dodgers Padres

563
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 3: I don't know, d Bax maybe whatever it is. I

564
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 3: mean like that that travel players are gonna love it.

565
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 3: And by the way, by the way, one of the

566
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 3: other things the commissioner said last night that I think

567
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 3: was important was the ease of the travel. The players

568
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 3: will have shorter flights, more nights at home that they

569
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 3: will their bodies will be in better shade. By the

570
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 3: end of the season. The product is better, the players

571
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 3: are happier, the fans get more games that they can

572
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 3: actually watch. I am I am fully on board with

573
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 3: this plan.

574
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 4: Tell you what if you get nights, If you go

575
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 4: back to the old Waight schedule and get nineteen games

576
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 4: of the White Sox gubs together, I think everybody celebrates,

577
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 4: But that.

578
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 3: Crosstown Cup is gonna be like a season unto itself.

579
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 3: You're gonna have more, They'll have more games to determine

580
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 3: the Crosstown Cup than the NBA in season tournament. We're

581
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 3: gonna raise a banner for this one.

582
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 7: Baby.

583
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 4: I remember seeing all sorts of fights back when those

584
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 4: games quote didn't matter anyway.

585
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 3: J P.

586
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 4: Last one for you, serious note. Zach Wheeler removal of

587
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 4: a blood clot near his throwing shoulder, thirty five years old,

588
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 4: having another fantastic year, ten and five runner up for

589
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 4: the cy Young last year. Any idea how quickly he

590
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 4: can get back and what this does to their rotation?

591
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 3: You know, Mike, it's a very tough question, and it's

592
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 3: and it's sad because he's one of my favorite competitors

593
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 3: to watch. Great pitcher, great person who was putting. He's

594
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 3: put in so much to his career been able to

595
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 3: overcome arm injuries earlier. First of all, we talked about

596
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 3: a blood clot. Good on the doctors for being able

597
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 3: to recognize it, and for Zach's athletic trainers with the Phillies,

598
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 3: and for Zach himself for speaking up because that's a

599
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 3: scary thing. And so what the Phillies announced today was

600
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 3: that it's been basically taken care of. So like the

601
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 3: thrabosas has been taken care of, that's obviously great news.

602
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 3: What we don't know is how it was taken care of,

603
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 3: where it was, the extent of the surgery is a

604
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 3: lot that we don't know right now. If if and

605
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 3: I will say, if it was a full thoracic outlet

606
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 3: syndrome procedure, which we do not know. We do not

607
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 3: know that, But if it was, it's almost certainly season ending.

608
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's if it with that extent. We

609
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 3: don't know the extent of it, and so we'll wait

610
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 3: to hear from the Phillies about where they're at in

611
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 3: terms of the specifics there, but it's it's obviously tough news.

612
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 3: He's out indefinitely. No one really knows when he's gonna

613
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 3: be able to pitch again. I'm I'm optimistic based on

614
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 3: you know, there have been other pictures that have dealt

615
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 3: with different situations of this type have gone on the

616
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 3: pitch again, So I'm optimistic that it's not going to

617
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 3: be a career ending situation. But but this is a

817

818
00:38:55,760 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 4: he literally raided the wardrobe from the seventies And Al

819
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 4: davis roaming the sidelines in that leisure. Suit but you

820
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 4: know the. Curiosity genty goes sixth overall to The. Raiders

821
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 4: they still have a subpar offensive, line so that is

822
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 4: something he'll need to. Overcome the other thing, is you,

823
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 4: know we often use The simpsons as a you, know

824
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 4: touch point for everybody to go between pop culture and

825
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 4: our sporting. Universe And i'm thinking back to when you

826
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 4: had The Great football episode of you, Know bart's going

827
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 4: to be the quarterback, whatever But nelson months how he

828
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 4: would run out of his way to go hit somebody

829
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 4: who was standing on the other side of the. Field,

830
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 4: REMEMBER i remember we did that last. Year that's What

831
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 4: ashton genty likes liked to, do especially in this week's.

832
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:40,439
Speaker 5: Game.

833
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 4: Uh and it's for his. Career so the fact that

834
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 4: he touched the ball nearly four hundred times last year

835
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 4: does lead me a bit. Concern that's a lot of,

836
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 4: miles and usually the year after that comes back on.

837
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:57,720
Speaker 4: You but, yeah there's a difference between college football miles

838
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 4: AND nfl. Miles, right there's a there's difference between.

839
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: Those and when that's fine your rookie, year, well obviously

840
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: The raiders are gonna have to manage him so he

841
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: doesn't hit the rookie wall and figure out the best

842
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: way to do, it because there's the other. Part this

843
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: is gonna be where the rape we're gonnaut him. Out

844
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna ball thirty times a game until he falls

845
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: apart and then, okay then we'll then we'll dial it

846
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,919
Speaker 1: back for next. Year he gets the, pounding he gets

847
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: used to the, pounding then he's back for even better year.

848
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 5: Too, Yeah i'd be.
