What are you going to ask there? 19 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that coming up. And it's not the 20 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 1: entire Astros team. I believe it's Alex Bregman and jose 21 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 1: L Twove. I think the owner and Dusty Banker. Poor 22 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: Dusty Dusty wasn't there for any of this, and then 23 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: he's got to go in and somehow massage this. So 24 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: let's just get out of this press conference and hopefully 25 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: get out unscathed. But we'll cover that. We'll talk about 26 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: that coming up here in a little bit. Say good 27 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: morning to our radio partners three hundred and sixty two strong, 28 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: and I'll sto our TV partners for the time being. 29 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: Br Live and Audience Channel two thirty nine, Direct TV 30 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: eight seven seven three D P Show, Email and dress 31 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: Dpat dan Patrick dot Com twitterhead of a DP show, 32 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: Play of the Day, stat of the Day, to meet 33 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: Friday Songs coming up as well. Jamis Winston, as you 34 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: know if you listen to the program, is one of 35 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: my favorite football players because he give it that he'd 36 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: take it the way. I'm not a Buccaneers fan per se, 37 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: but if the Buccaneers are on, I'm watching because Jamis 38 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: can give you something great, and then he can give 39 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: you something where you go. How is he even starting 40 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 1: in the NFL. He generated a fun headline yesterday because 41 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: he got Lasik surgery to fix his eyesight. Now the 42 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: report unleashed an avalanche of Twitter jokes. I sent it 43 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: out to the dead Ns yesterday and I just said, 44 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: oh my god, this is too good. And Paulie thought 45 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,119 Speaker 1: it was the Onion. It was like take headline there. 46 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: Winston threw thirty interceptions and he had over thirty touchdowns 47 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 1: last year. Several people joked that he's going from thirty 48 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: thirty to twenty twenty. But it certainly raises some interesting 49 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: questions about the former number one overall pick. At times 50 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: you watch him when you go wow, and then there 51 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: are two plays later you go wow for a different reason. 52 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: And maybe Lasik, and to Jamis Winston's credit, he didn't say, hey, 53 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 1: I got bad eyesight. That's why I'm throwing all these interceptions. 54 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: We inferred that, but he never said that, never used 55 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: that as an excuse. But maybe Lasik will help him 56 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: be a little more consistent. They were points last year 57 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: when it seemed like the Bucks we're going to move 58 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: on from him. It's not easier to replace somebody throws 59 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: for five thousand yards and thirty touchdowns. It's easy to 60 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: move on from somebody who throws thirty interceptions. With Winston, 61 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: there's room for improvement. I've always maintained that he tries 62 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: to do too much, like there's a little too much 63 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: far in his play that he thinks he can squeeze 64 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: it in there, he can make the impossible play. Maybe 65 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: it's going to come down to his vision. He's a 66 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: free agent. In the next couple of weeks, I'm going 67 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: to find out if the Bucks can see a clear future. 68 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: But Jamis Winston under center. This program brought to you 69 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: by the great folks at one eight hundred Flowers.

All right, mclevinar, 77 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: Are you sold now in Jameis Winston that this will 78 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: help him? I don't think it can hurt. I'm actually 79 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: bizarrely excited for this. Everybody else in the room is like, Ah, 80 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: it's not gonna make a difference. I think it's kind 81 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: of hard to see. You know, the Bucks have this 82 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: kind of a weird uniform. You know, he'll be able 83 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: to pick out the defenders better. Well, he should realize 84 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: that the color, the vibrancy of the Buccaneers colors are 85 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,799 Speaker 1: easy to pick out. So if you're throwing, you throw 86 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: to that color. I have horrible eyesight. If I take 87 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: off my glasses and you said, hey, can you throw 88 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: a football and find the guy that's on your team, 89 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be able to find the guy on my team. 90 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: But I also got a cannon for an arm too, style, 91 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: then yes, yes, what loves some positive momentum around Jamis 92 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: at the end of last year, it's some good games, 93 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: and it might just be beause you love watching him. 94 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: I can't remember, but I feel like there's like a 95 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: little bit of a Jamis uptick going on this even 96 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: before Lacy. I think Bruce arians is a great quarterback whisperer, 97 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: But I don't know. I don't need to see any 98 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: more Jamis Winston. That leading the league in passing yards 99 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: five thousand, one hundred nine, But I don't know if 100 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: that's a great thing, because normally you're losing, like you're behind, 101 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: so you're throwing that often. But he's got a lot 102 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: of talent. But you go back to Florida State and 103 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: I just thought that he would take the risk and 104 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: the reward with him is really really dangerous, And it 105 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: feels like it's more of the decision making process than 106 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: his eyesight. That would be me playing amateur. You know, 107 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: psychologists or therapist here for Jameis Winston. Yes, point. Don't 108 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: you want to know who initiated the eye after appointment? 109 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: That's all I want to know with James, Like you know, 110 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: I'm going in from my yearly checkup or did like 111 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: the quarterback coach go, we want to go through everything. 112 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: We want to look at everything the possible here before 113 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: we sign you up. I really wonder that. But he's 114 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: a free agent, right McLevin, Yeah, he will hit free agency. 115 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: They could tag him. Well, it depends on who Tampa 116 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: thinks they need and they can get, because there are 117 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: varying reports out of Detroit that the Lions might be 118 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: trying to move Matthew Stafford and trade and keep that 119 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: pick and go with Tuah. Somebody is going up to 120 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: get Tah. In my opinion, I said that even before 121 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: he got the healthy check up, somebody's going there. Because 122 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: remember a year ago, if I said to you, hey, 123 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: Tuah is not going to be the number one quarterback, 124 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: you'd be like, who's going to be the number one quarterback? 125 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence can't come out, fields can't come out. And 126 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: then if I would have said, hey, Joe Burrow at LSU, 127 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: you would have said you're crazy. Now if I say 128 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: this to you this year for next year's draft, hey 129 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence won't be the umber one quarterback taken, you'd 130 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 1: say you're crazy. It happens almost It happens almost every 131 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: year where we look at a quarterback and you go, oh, 132 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: that guy can't miss because he's not eligible to come out. 133 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: Oh that guy can't miss. Now that's the guy you'd 134 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: take to it. To me, the general consensus was he 135 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: was going to be the number one quarterback taken if 136 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: he's healthy. Do you does Detroit say if we can 137 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: move Stafford, we take a hit with the salary cap, 138 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: but we move on. We have a five year window. 139 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: If you said I could do that, I would do that. Yes, McLevin. 140 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: Why not keep Stafford and sit to it for a year, 141 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: like you know the old model? They did with Carson 142 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: Palmer and John Kenney. Well, we've seen a lot of 143 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: quarterbacks who do that are in that position. What if 144 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: Stafford has an unbelievable year now you can say that 145 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: that moves his trade market up a little bit there. 146 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: I just don't want to get into a situation. By 147 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: the way, the Lions denied that that was the case. 148 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: They're shopping Matthew Stafford. You know, I don't know. I 149 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: think the report, according to a Detroit line official, one 150 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: hundred percent falls with moving Matthew Stafford. I think they're 151 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: I think they're quietly trying to move Matthew Stafford. I 152 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: would because I've seen I've seen his work, and he's 153 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: coming off an injury. And if I can get tuah 154 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: and now I have my five year window matt Patricia. 155 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: If you said to matt Patricia, hey, two is going 156 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: to be healthy and you can move on from Matthew Stafford, 157 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: what are you going to get from Matthew Stafford? Can 158 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: you get a couple of ones? Could you get a 159 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: one and a couple of two? Line Like, I don't 160 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: know what his trade value is, especially coming off the injury. 161 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: But and I don't want to bring him in at 162 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: that price. This is really and he's thirty two years 163 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 1: of age. Yeah, mcclubin. What if somebody jumps them to 164 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: get to it two with I think Judson Herbert's the 165 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: air parents to Stafford. It's like a big Herbert and 166 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,719 Speaker 1: Lions too, Yeah, because of the you know, big arm pang. 167 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: But that might be if the Lions trade down and 168 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: then they can still get Justin Herbert. I wouldn't be 169 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 1: taken Justin Herbert that high. But quarterbacks ride Josh Allen, 170 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: I know, I know, but you know, people are still 171 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 1: not sure about Josh Allen even though they Buffalo did 172 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: jump into the game and they got him. But uh, 173 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: you know with with Tua and remember the report that 174 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 1: came out that Towa's family was worried the Lions were 175 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: going to take him. And I wonder if he'll sit 176 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: that first year no matter where he goes, because how 177 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: many of these quarterbacks nowadays they all sit for the 178 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: most part half a season. Now, Jared Goff did, Deshaun Watson, 179 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, Mahomes did. If I'm the Lions and you 180 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 1: could get Tuah and and you want to build a 181 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: five year window here now, you have it, Matthew Stafford, 182 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 1: You're not going to be able to build around him. 183 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: It's different to do it that way because of the 184 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: money that he makes. Tah, Now I get him, Now 185 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: I can build around him. Yeah, Pull, you're ready for 186 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: the hot unfounded rumor of the day. This should be 187 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: a second hot unfounded rumor of the day. The Chicago 188 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: Bears are a rumored to be shopping Khalil Mack two 189 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins for the number two pick, which people 190 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: think they would go a different direction at quarterback. That 191 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: is the hot rumor based off nothing in Chicago. Now 192 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 1: let's say that was a real trade possibility, but that's 193 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: the hot one. You're talking about other teams that might 194 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 1: trade up to the two spot. Okay, Khalil Mack very 195 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: expensive trade in the Redskins, which would be classic Redskins 196 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: to pass on toa because they don't need a quarterback 197 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: in theory. But so you trade Khalil Mack to move 198 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: then you could get an Arab parent to Khalil Mack 199 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: and Chase Young, right, and I get a little bit 200 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: more draft capital there and a cheaper player, yes, or 201 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: a quarterback, and you can move on from Mitchie right 202 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: after the season cleanly. Yeah, I think they need to 203 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: see one more year with Drew Bisky. I would have 204 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: everybody I would like to not see that. Yeah, well 205 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: you may not have a choice there. Like I have 206 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: the red zone. I actually would like to remove the 207 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: bars from my red zone. Just have the other teams 208 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: it's well, they're rarely in the red zone, so you 209 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: don't have to worry about that. Yeah, say yeah, I'm 210 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: here all day, Yes McLellan. Finally, I was kind of 211 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: feeling Dwayne Haskins at the end of the year. I 212 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: didn't like that he was above Kate Keena, but I 213 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: feel like, well, they better have something. They got one 214 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: more year, it feels like with Dwayne Haskins and figure 215 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: out if that's the guy that I mean they what 216 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: was the fifteenth pick overall? Yeah, so okay, I mean 217 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: it's not like a top five quarterback. He just hasn't 218 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: played a lot. And you get Cleil Mack on defense 219 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: giving him a good field for this, and then maybe 220 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: look at what happened to Josh Rosen, like he had 221 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: so forgotten. He got one year and that was it 222 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: and then couldn't win the job in Miami. And now 223 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: he's in QB limbo. All right, we'll come up with 224 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: a poll question. Here the Astros press conference coming up 225 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: at the bottom of the hour, and a couple of 226 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: players are talking here. If I went around the room 227 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: and I said, you got one question to ask, and 228 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: you know that you're going to get an answer. By 229 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: the way, Wall Street Journal has done a wonderful job 230 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 1: on this story, and they were writing about talking about 231 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: how these players got immunity. That's all the Baseball the 232 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: Commissioner wanted, you know, total transparency, give us everything, and 233 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: we'll send you on your married way. That's it. But 234 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: if if I got these guys privately and I could 235 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: ask you one question and you were going to answer it. Now, 236 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: Dusty Baker, you know, I feel bad that he's going there. 237 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: Dusty's walking in there, and he probably won't have a 238 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: question asked. I mean it might say, hey, you know, 239 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: how are you personally going to help? You know, these 240 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: guys move on with this? What would be your advice 241 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: to your players with this? Yeah, I mean Dusty's gonna 242 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 1: go Yeah, I don't know about this. Yeah, Paulie, I'll 243 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: start with you. You got one question? Who are you 244 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 1: asking it too, of those who will be there for 245 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: the two players out two Van Bregman, Yes or no? 246 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: Did you cheat to get to and win the two 247 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: thousand and seventeen World Series? Yes? Or no? Did you 248 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: cheat to get to and win the two thousand and 249 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: seventeen World Series? Yes? Or no? Astros apologist Todd Fritz, 250 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: who was the initial person that came up with this 251 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: whole scam about cheating, Okay, and uh, that's that's one question. 252 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: And I want to less his movement, you know, so 253 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: I keep telling you, and you got your astro's alone 254 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 1: to that fin got his lance Armstrong a yellow kid 255 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 1: on it. Well, yeah, yes, I can't ask. I can't. No, 256 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: you get which one question? Very frustrated, But you had 257 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: a great question. Paul had said something yesterday that I 258 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: really liked, which I think, and then you ruined it. No, 259 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: but I think it deserves an answer. Could I just 260 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: say it? Even though my first one jong when I 261 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: count if you if you guys didn't get caught, how 262 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: likely would it be that you would just be continuing 263 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: to cheat like this for months and years to come, 264 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: continuing if you didn't get caught, would you still be cheated? Yeah? 265 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: That's a tighter way to say mclovin. One question, did 266 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: the cheating continue after twenty seventeen? John Seaton O'Connor junior, 267 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: the third ductee? Do you think you handled prior and 268 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: would correctly? Fantastic stee. We could just go back for 269 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: a minute ago. Yeah, let's go back to carry kerry 270 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: Wood and Mark the only two pitchers are baseball for 271 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: a four thousand I get. I get an ill stomach 272 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: when he said that, how badly did you ruin Mark, 273 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: Pryor and Carry? Which curers? We'll hang up and listen. Um. Yeah, sorry, 274 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: even the two down sixteen World Series doesn't make up 275 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: for it. Oh God, So the Astros are sort of 276 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: facing the fire. But then the reporters showed up yesterday 277 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: and they had no access to the players. Like the 278 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: Astros said, nobody's going to be available today. This isn't 279 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: going away. I get. The more you do that, the 280 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: more it feels like you really have something to hide. Now. 281 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: I know they're hiding behind their immunity here and they 282 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: can say all you have to do is have They 283 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: should have this press conference a long time ago, A 284 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: one time only winner take all, will take your take 285 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: your questions, will answer them the best we can, and 286 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: then you move on, because then you can say I've 287 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: already addressed that. That's all. What was Alex Bregman's response 288 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: when he was asked about this commissioner made his ruling. 289 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: He said, yeah, commission made this ruling, which we all know. Yeah, 290 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: we do know that. Where's Verlander. He usually has something 291 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: to say about everybody else, So I mean, I don't 292 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: know what he says. Hey, I didn't benefit, well, yes, 293 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: the pitching staff benefited because the hitters were putting up 294 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: numbers here. But I don't know if this goes away 295 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: anytime soon, because this entire year is going to be 296 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: not based on the Astros, but the regular season, wherever 297 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: the Astros go, will be a story and continue to 298 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: be a story. If they play well, you guys cheating. 299 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: If they don't play well, all you guys needed to cheat. 300 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: It's not going away.

Speaking of interviews, 351 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: we had Oliver Luck on he's the commissioner of the 352 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 1: XFL and it got picked up by a few places, 353 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: including a Pro Football Talk. Mike Florio had a post 354 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,400 Speaker 1: on that also. I felt bad for Oliver Luck when 355 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 1: he said that his son, Andrew Luck is just home babysitting, 356 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 1: and then of course he he felt the wrath of 357 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: those who say you don't baby sit your own kids. 358 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: I sure that Oliver Luck didn't mean that he was babysitting, 359 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: but misspoken that seemed to be that seemed to bother 360 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: a lot of people. You don't baby sit your own kid. Okay, 361 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: all right, So what's the poll question we're gonna have mckleven. Okay, Well, 362 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: we're going to ignore the best infield discussion over here 363 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: because it's getting too. Heated a couple of quick questions. Well, no, 364 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: we can talk about that. I just had somebody who 365 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: from ESPN who says the greatest single season infield. Ever, 366 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: how about the Milwaukee Brewers Now is a single season? 367 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: Is that a stat analysis? Well he's got yeah, well 368 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: he's got war thrown in here, so good God. I 369 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not even since a red Span, but 370 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's that close with that redsdenfield 371 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 1: and not in our generation since nineteen seventy. But yeah, 372 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,479 Speaker 1: because if I'm going to look at the totality of 373 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: this with an infield like you know, Cecil Cooper is 374 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: not a hole of famer, Jim Gantner's not a hole 375 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: of famer. Robin you Out and Paul Molitor are all right? 376 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: Who's the catcher? I don't think they had a great 377 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 1: catcher back then. Tim was was ted that y two 378 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: I'll check you. Okay, Well he was a good player 379 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: for them, he wasn't. He was great in Saint Louis, 380 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 1: but he wasn't. I don't think he had great numbers 381 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: in Milwaukee. Yes, doesn't have to be a steroid eer. 382 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 1: A team that has better numbers like I was thinking 383 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: the a Rod Ranger teams when they had him into 384 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: Shara or Palmary like, and it doesn't it shouldn't even count. 385 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: But I would think there'd be an infiel with better 386 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: if you're just doing war and stuff like that. The 387 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 1: steroid era numbers went so crazy. How could the seventies 388 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: Reds compete with that? I mean maybe they can, yeah, 389 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,360 Speaker 1: but I mean these stats aren't crazy. With the Brewers here, 390 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: you know, you got three guys who had three hundred. 391 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: Ganner hit two ninety five, okay, but Tony preis the 392 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, Joe Morgan's a Hall of Famer, David 393 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: Conceptsioned is a borderline Hall of Famer, Johnny Bench is 394 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. And Pete Rose we know, is 395 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer, just didn't get it and inducted. 396 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,239 Speaker 1: That's all. So what other infield can you put up 397 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: that would match that? And I'd be you'd be hard pressed, 398 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 1: you really would be. Yeah. And if you're gonna go 399 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 1: by numbers by era and how they grow from era 400 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,719 Speaker 1: to era with power, then you're gonna say Johnny Unitis 401 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 1: wasn't in the top hundred quarterbacks of all time with 402 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 1: his steps, bart Starr wouldn't be in the top thousand 403 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,199 Speaker 1: quarterbacks based off it's greatness during your era and that 404 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 1: Red Team, David Conceptsion was as good or better than 405 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: Ozzie Smith is a fielder and and people don't talk 406 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: about fielding, but he was. He was an entertaining fielder. 407 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: You saw him. Yeah, but he was a good hitter too. Yeah, yeah, Ton, 408 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: I'd say the Reds of the best two. But in 409 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: the conversation, how about the Phillies from the early eighties, 410 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: you got Rose, Trio, Boa, Schmidt. That's worth being in 411 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 1: the conversation. We're gonna bring the Brewers in. So wait minute, Well, 412 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: Pete wasn't a nineteen eighty Filth Series game one looking 413 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: at a box with has Rose its first, Many Tree 414 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 1: or second, Larry Bowitch short and Michael jack Schmid at third. 415 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: That's and then Darren Dalton is their catch. Yeah, Okay, 416 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: it's still not better than the Reds. I mean it 417 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: doesn't come close. I got bench arguably the greatest catcher 418 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 1: of all time, Perez. You know, Pete Rose is the 419 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: winningest player of all time. Conceptsion was its spectacular fielder 420 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: and clutch hitter. Perez one of the great clutch hitters 421 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: of all time and a Hall of Famer, and I 422 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: Joe Morgan, who you can say is the greatest. So 423 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: I have the greatest second baseman perhaps of all time, 424 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: and the greatest catcher of all time. I got the 425 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: winningest guy with the most hits. And then you throw 426 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: in Davy Conceptsion. I mean that that's You'd be hard 427 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 1: pressed to find somebody better than that. Yankees, Eddie Yogi, Berra, 428 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: Phil Rizzuto in Fields Pseudo no all favor. Yeah, I know, 429 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 1: but that's loose scouring. I know. Yes, I love your 430 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: you know you you don't root anymore, but you're I 431 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: want to say defense, your love of the seventies Reds 432 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: is still transparent. Well because of my age and then 433 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: able to see them and then understand their greatness, and 434 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: you know they they withstand the test of time. Not 435 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 1: all of these teams withstand the test of time, but 436 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 1: they do. In their era, you would be hard pressed 437 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: to find somebody who would say you had a better 438 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 1: infield than the Cincinnati Reds, the Big Red Machine. Yeah, 439 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: I know you know this, but you know Jerry West 440 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: comes on this show. I know it's one of your 441 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: career thrills that Jerry West had become a regular guest. 442 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: But I also think that you and I know you've 443 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: said this lory deep down love the loves the fact 444 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 1: that Johnny Bench listens to this show, calls in from 445 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: time to time, comes and hangs out with us. I mean, 446 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,880 Speaker 1: if I told you when you're seventeen, the Johnny Bench 447 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: was going to be a regular show, you would have 448 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 1: even like that's that's not a world I could envision, 449 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: well any of these the fact that when Jerry West 450 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: sits down on the show or he calls in and 451 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 1: we talk, I still just I think that's Jerry West 452 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 1: who's talk like this isn't supposed to happen. What am 453 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: I doing? I know, it's just it. It does when 454 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,360 Speaker 1: you get to that point where I watched, I followed, idolized, 455 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 1: covered and then all of a sudden, here they are 456 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: as as people who Johnny Bench his son came to 457 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 1: one of the shows in Miami at the Super Bowl 458 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: and his son brought all these Johnny Bench bobblehead dolls. 459 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: Like it's still I don't take it for granted. I 460 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,919 Speaker 1: appreciate it, and uh it's it's never lost on me 461 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 1: when you get these people who who show up, Yes, 462 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: Highest War two thousand and nine Yankees, A Rod Jeter 463 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 1: to Shara Canoe. All right, I had two cheaters at least. Yeah, 464 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: so I had two cheaters. That that's gonna take you 465 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,360 Speaker 1: down a little bit. Yeah, you know, that's a great lineup. 466 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: That guy's wondering if Sarah Deer is going to have 467 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: some of those lineups. Yeah, yeah, that's a great line 468 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: up there. But I can't sit here and look at 469 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 1: Cano and a Rod and go, oh okay, I'll give 470 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: you that. A lot of people take the catch are 471 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 1: out of the conversation. Yeah, but I'm not going to. 472 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: And here's one last one. The O nine Rays have 473 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 1: a huge war with Carlos Pinion, Benjo Brazz, Jason Bartlett, 474 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 1: and Evan Longoria. Well that's why war is stupid. Does 475 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: these are good? Is that an all time infield? No? Okay, sorry, 476 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 1: but they're looking at one year, aren't they? Yeah? They're 477 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: oh there, these are all one year I'm talking about now. Granted, 478 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: it would be hard to keep the big Red Machine 479 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: together nowadays because they'd be too expensive. But if you 480 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: look at that group and how long they were together, 481 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: you know, give me a team that had sustainability like that. Oh, 482 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 1: this guy said by seventy six, Perez had already seen 483 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 1: his better days go past them. That's whole fighting words. 484 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: And then he went on to play what Montreal. Yeah, 485 00:26:58,600 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: by the way, he made the All Star Game and 486 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: right and hit like three hundred. He was a great 487 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 1: clutch hitter. If you ask any of those Reds, Johnny 488 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: Bench could call in right now and I would stay 489 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: to Johnny who was the one guy you wanted at 490 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: the plate with the game on the line. I think 491 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 1: Johnny would even say Tony Press he was a great, 492 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: great clutch hitter.

I was wondering if that a poll question. 517 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: If you're Eric the Enemy, would you take stay as 518 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: a Kansas City chief offensive coordinator or take the head 519 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: coaching job at Colorado which is rumored to be possibly 520 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: offered to him. Well, it should be offered to him. 521 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: He played there, He was the star player there. The 522 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: twitter storm started yesterday. Mike Lombardi started this is who's 523 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: Mike with. I don't know if he's in anyone right now. 524 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: He might be in the media. I'll double check that. Well. 525 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: His handle is m Lombardi NFL. Right, he used to 526 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: be you know, he was in that Baltchech crew. He 527 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: was a GM of the Brown Yeah, I'll see if 528 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: he's still in the league right now. He started it 529 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: with a tweet and then there were some follow ups. 530 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: Mike Lombardi says, Bill Walsh always said, if you want 531 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: to be a head coach, go be a head coach. 532 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: Eric b Enemy should take the Colorado job if offered, 533 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: and show the world that he can be a head coach. 534 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: There are no perfect jobs, just jobs you make perfect. Okay. 535 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: Then you had a Sam Mellinger be guy for the chief. Okay, Yeah, 536 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: he says, I kind of hate this. A perfect job 537 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: for one person, it's a bad job for another. B 538 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: Enemy has interviewed for seven NFL jobs, zero college jobs. 539 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: He's shown that he's that he what he's interested in. 540 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: Shouldn't have to give up on that if he doesn't 541 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: want to. Let's see, this is from Trey Porter, coach Porter. 542 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: It just that's that as someone who doesn't have a 543 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: blue check bark, just a random boat that its symbolic 544 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: of a lot of them. And then he sends he 545 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: goes after. Michael Lombardi says, so you're recommending a Super 546 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: Bowl winning offensive coordinator take a college job at probably 547 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: the worst program in the PAC twelve A year after 548 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury goes thirty five and forty in the Big 549 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: twelve and took the Pac twelve offensive job for a 550 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: month and then got a head coaching job in the NFL. 551 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: He's got a point there. Michael Lombardi is a writer 552 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: at the Athletic Thank you, ton. Look, I don't want 553 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: to tell somebody what they should or shouldn't do. If 554 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: if you want to take a job, then take the 555 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: job at your alma mater. But if you want to 556 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: be a head coach in the NFL, then prove it 557 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: again shown that they made a mistake. Somebody should have 558 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: hired you. You know. Then I hear this, well, he 559 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: didn't interview well. I have to believe there are guys 560 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: who don't interview well who still get a head coaching 561 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: job because they're really good at their job. Some guys 562 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: just don't interview well. Some guys really interview well you 563 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: knew who interviewed well at the combine Johnny Manziel, he 564 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: killed it, killed it. Eric B. Enemy. He doesn't get 565 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: enough credit for what the chiefs have done. He doesn't. 566 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: It's Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid and then all you know. Then, oh, 567 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: by the way, Eric Eric Enemy, offensive coordinator for the 568 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: most dangerous offense in the NFL. Does somebody you know 569 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: this NFL predicated on wide open offense? Is If Eric B. 570 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: Enemy is a true genius and you think that he 571 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: can make your team better, then I hope somebody gives 572 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: him a chance there. But to say, well, he should 573 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:56,959 Speaker 1: go back to his all of mine. Hey, take a 574 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: head coaching job. You don't know when one's going to 575 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 1: come up again. He's betting on himself. Well, we don't 576 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,479 Speaker 1: know that he might take the Colorado job. Well, but 577 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 1: he's betting on himself that he wanted to. He didn't 578 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: interview for any college jobs, right, this is the only 579 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,959 Speaker 1: one he would probably take. If I'm Michigan State, do 580 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: I want Mel Tucker or do I want Eric B. Enemy. 581 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if Michigan State called Eric B. Enemy. 582 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: By the way, these coaches I hope. Mel Tucker never 583 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 1: talks about a you know, a quarterback portal here where 584 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,959 Speaker 1: somebody wants to leave because hey, I'm not leaving, and 585 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, hey we got some more money, 586 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: I'm leaving. But when the kids do this, how dare you? 587 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 1: You shouldn't be doing that. You should stick here at Scotland. 588 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: Come on, And he's just the latest to do this. Yes, 589 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 1: I think Paul, he's analogy that It sounds a little 590 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 1: bit like Patrick Ewing going to Georgetown, like he's kind 591 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 1: of pin in the position where it's gonna be really 592 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 1: hard to succeed at the highest level. Because I mean, 593 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: Ewing wanted the job and went back to the alma mater. 594 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like a great path to success. But 595 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: Patrick had been an assistant coach for a long time. 596 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: I think he realized he wasn't getting a head coaching job. 597 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: Got what the enemy? How old is the enemy? He 598 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 1: played in nineties? He in his forties, probably years old, 599 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: he's fifty yea. So it's close now, you know, it's 600 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: close whether he's going to get a head coaching job 601 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: or not. In the NFL. It feels like if he 602 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: has another great season this year, and with all of 603 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: those weapons and mahomes there, you would think that that 604 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: he would get another opportunity here in the NFL. The 605 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: chance to go back to your alma mater is really 606 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: good because or really bad because eventually it feels like 607 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: you might get fired. Like Chris Mallen went back to 608 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: Saint John's. It didn't go well, and then you know 609 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 1: that that was one of those hey mutual parting. Here 610 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 1: now it feels like he got fired. You just don't 611 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: want to say that about Chris maullin at Saint John's. Yeah, 612 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: poem the Enemy has coached to Colorado twice before. Coaching 613 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 1: job was Colorado running backs coach and No. One. Then 614 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: he went back to Colorado in twenty eleven to be 615 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator. Then he went to the Chiefs and 616 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:11,320 Speaker 1: he's been on that run since. Yeah. Yeah, mclov I'm surprised. 617 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 1: I remember him as a good player. He's third in 618 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: the Hisman voting. Yeah. No, Eric Bienimy is a really 619 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: good running back. That was That was a fun team. 620 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,799 Speaker 1: And why is it Colorado? Why is Colorado we were 621 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: talking about the sports show. Why is it not an 622 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: elite program? In nineteen ninety was it was right there 623 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: all the time. You don't know how how a program 624 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: is built, who's building it, and how are they building it? No, 625 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: you got athletic director president boosters like that takes more 626 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: than just a coach when you're building something like that. 627 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 1: And Colorado had something. Georgia Tech won a Nistole title. 628 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 1: I mean you have these sort of random blips where 629 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: you go, oh I tried, Yeah, yeah, I remember when 630 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: Nebraska was good, oh terrible.

Play of the day, Shut this down 658 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 1: right the Lakers water at forces at click it is 659 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 1: it a time hour now? Delay of game took the 660 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: player and jumping out onto the door courtesy the Lakers 661 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: Television Network. Lakers needed overtime to put away the Nuggets. 662 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 1: Lebron with a triple level thirty two, fourteen, and twelve. 663 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 1: Lakers go into the All Star Break forty one and twelve. 664 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 1: It's gonna be tough to catch them. If they stay healthy, 665 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 1: then you'll have load management perhaps late in the regular season. 666 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 1: But it looks like the Western Conference is going to 667 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 1: go through the Lakers. Lakers beating the Nuggets in over 668 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: in time, they won seventeen consecutive road games versus the 669 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 1: Western Conference. That's the longest road winning streak by a 670 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:30,320 Speaker 1: team versus its own conference since conferences were established back 671 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:34,839 Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy. Stat of good day, stat of the day, 672 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 1: That stat of the day, stat of good day? Here 673 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:45,680 Speaker 1: comes that? What stat of the day? I still love 674 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 1: watching Lebron play. You know, it's a shame though, you know, 675 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,839 Speaker 1: being on the West Coast. It's just, you know, when 676 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 1: he decided to go there, the NBA had to cringe 677 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: a little bit. From the standpoint of it seemed like 678 00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,839 Speaker 1: that it was top heavy in the Western Conference, where 679 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: that's where the stars were, whether it was Luca or 680 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 1: James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Anthony Davis, Lebron, James Damian Lillard. 681 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,239 Speaker 1: I'd love to stay up and watch those games. But 682 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,839 Speaker 1: that's why I think ratings are down, or at least 683 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: that's a part of the reason why ratings are down. 684 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 1: You just can't watch the games. You know, it's sixteen 685 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 1: to twelve, and you go, all right, I gotta go 686 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:27,359 Speaker 1: to bed. I'm whimpy. Though Luca came back last night, 687 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:31,120 Speaker 1: had a great game. I feel bad for Damian Lillard. 688 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 1: Doesn't this feel like this is Damian Lillard that you know, 689 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 1: we don't really know about him in college, you know, 690 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 1: we begrudgingly look at his greatness in the NBA. He 691 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 1: has this unbelievable month where it felt like he was 692 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,360 Speaker 1: averaging fifty points, and now he gets injured and won't 693 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,239 Speaker 1: be there for the All Star Game. It felt like 694 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 1: this would be the moment the national media would be 695 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 1: able to put their arms around Damian Lillard and say, hey, 696 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:58,879 Speaker 1: nice job, Budden. No team's not great, but you are great, 697 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,919 Speaker 1: a special player. And he doesn't even get that opportunity. 698 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 1: Play of the Day is brought to you by one 699 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,240 Speaker 1: eight hundred Flowers right now, an amazing offer on beautiful 700 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: Valentine's Day bouquas and arrangements to order to go to 701 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,759 Speaker 1: one eight hundred Flowers dot Com, click on the radio icon, 702 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:18,359 Speaker 1: enter the promo code Patrick.

I've learned 709 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 1: from this and I hope to regain the trust of 710 00:39:55,239 --> 00:40:00,920 Speaker 1: baseball fans. I would also like to thank Astros fans 711 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:06,839 Speaker 1: for all of their support. We as a team are 712 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:11,360 Speaker 1: totally focused on moving forward to the twenty twenty season. 713 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:16,959 Speaker 1: Thank you. Okay, that clears all of that up. I'm good, 714 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 1: No more questions. Yes, I actually overstated. He addressed the 715 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,960 Speaker 1: meat of the topic, the cheating, for seventeen seconds and 716 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,799 Speaker 1: it's forty five seconds. Th here's who's a l two 717 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:33,360 Speaker 1: day's statement. Thank you, Jam, Thank you Alex. Uh. I 718 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:37,640 Speaker 1: also will be brief. We had a great UH team 719 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:41,000 Speaker 1: meeting last night, and I want to say that the 720 00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:45,360 Speaker 1: whole hospital organization and the team feel bad about what 721 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:51,520 Speaker 1: happened in in twenty seventeen, who especially feel remorse for 722 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 1: the impact in our fans and the game of baseball, 723 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,920 Speaker 1: and our team is the tournament a to to move 724 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,680 Speaker 1: for were to play with intensity and to bring back 725 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:08,040 Speaker 1: a championship to Houston in twenty twenty. Thank you all right? 726 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,239 Speaker 1: That's so was L two Bay, Yes, Eaton. I also 727 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,439 Speaker 1: want to say sorry for that one hundred and fifty 728 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 1: one million dollar contract I signed in twenty eighteen immediately 729 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:19,840 Speaker 1: after all of this happened. I apologize. Here is the owner, 730 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 1: Jim Crane. I was curious why he's not punishing his 731 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:29,120 Speaker 1: own players. MLB clearly stated that people leading the baseball 732 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:34,320 Speaker 1: operation and field operation should be held accountable for these actions, 733 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:41,480 Speaker 1: and I agree with them. Our GM and manager were 734 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:45,360 Speaker 1: not only suspended for a year, we went above and 735 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:51,880 Speaker 1: beyond and fired them. MLB also acknowledged that the players 736 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,680 Speaker 1: should not be punished for the failure of our leadership. 737 00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:01,720 Speaker 1: The leaders enabled Condone and did not stop those actions 738 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:06,319 Speaker 1: that happened. I also agree that our players should not 739 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 1: be punished for these actions. These are a great group 740 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:14,760 Speaker 1: of guys who did not receive proper guidance from their leaders. 741 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 1: I'd be curious to ask him, Crane, So do you 742 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,680 Speaker 1: blame the training stamp or doctors not your players if 743 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:27,440 Speaker 1: players were taking steroids? So I mean its apparently it's 744 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,440 Speaker 1: not the player's fault. Trainer or doctor told him what 745 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:34,839 Speaker 1: to take. They benefited, but hey, it's not their fault, yes, 746 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,520 Speaker 1: but proper guidance. It sounds like they're not like kids 747 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,240 Speaker 1: and they're running around a classroom because there's a substitute teacher. 748 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,440 Speaker 1: They're adults and they're responsible affair of their behavior, and 749 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,719 Speaker 1: that's that's ridiculous to say they didn't have the proper guians. 750 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 1: There not ten year olds that is running around because 751 00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:52,400 Speaker 1: the TITA left the classroom and the coach, the manager 752 00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 1: and the GM are expendable, the players aren't. By the way, 753 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 1: Jim Crane said something, I gotta listened to this though. 754 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,440 Speaker 1: You're not gonna believe that this is unbelievable. All right, 755 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,840 Speaker 1: I'll have that Toria coming up top of X down. Also, 756 00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:13,279 Speaker 1: I want to talk about Myles Garrett being reinstated.
