Jay stew has worked in 20 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: Dan Byer's worked in for all of us over twenty years. Sam, 21 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 1: you're on what you were you on? Sam? You're over 22 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: a decade in, aren't you in radio? Yeah? 23 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 2: Fifteen years? 24 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: Fifteen years. So that's a lot of experience we'll share 25 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: with our thoughts of Howard Stern. I don't know if 26 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: he's calling a quits or if I don't know if 27 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: he's done, if he's going to do his own thing. 28 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to launch a podcast, you know, the thing 29 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: we all think, we all do. Speaking of which, this 30 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: show is available in podcast form in the meantime, I 31 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: want to play for you something I saw on TV 32 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: and I was like what And then I heard Cowherd 33 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 1: call him out without calling him out again. That's probably 34 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: the art of cow Herd is many people he can 35 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: call out and he doesn't need their names, really smarter 36 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: than what I do. Whereas I just name their names. 37 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: I don't care. It's your words. You said it, you 38 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: own it. If I say it, I own it as well, 39 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: as long as it's not taking out of context. Right. Okay, 40 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 1: So Shadoor Sanders is going to start for the Browns 41 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: in their first preseason game. As Dan Bayer told you, yesterday. 42 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: That's because Joe Flacco is old. You don't want him 43 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: getting hurt. And you know the other two quarterbacks, Dylan Gabriel, 44 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 1: who's drafted ahead of him, he's hurt. You know, both 45 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in front of him are injured. So he's going 46 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: to get a chance to start. But I want you 47 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: to listen to something that Lewis Ridick said. Okay, remember 48 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 1: Lewis Riddick was a scout in the NFL. He's he's 49 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 1: been on a kind of a jet pack to success 50 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: working at ESPN. Here was his take on Shadoor Sanders. 51 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 3: I'm afraid he's going to get on the field in 52 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 3: preseason games without a lot of practice reps, and then 53 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 3: they're going to ask him to perform these heroic tasks 54 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 3: in order to prove that he's worthy of being a 55 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 3: starter when he hasn't had enough reps to really get comfortable. 56 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 3: That's the kind of battle he's dealing with right now. 57 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 3: I know I've seen it. We've been in these camps. 58 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 3: We know how that goes. You don't get enough reps, 59 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 3: They play a whole half of a game and then 60 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, coaches are going, why are you 61 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 3: making that mistake. Why aren't you making that check? Well, damn, coach, 62 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 3: I never was in there in practice. You never even 63 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 3: talked to me during practice. But now you expect me 64 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 3: to know that's what they're gonna expect of him. But 65 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 3: if anyone can get it done, it's this kid, because 66 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 3: he's been trained the right way. But I'm telling you 67 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 3: he is ice skating uphill. 68 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're making it out like the world is out 69 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: to get Shador Sanders. And this is one of the 70 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: most obnoxious things anyone could ever say, when it's about 71 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: themselves or about somebody else who was born on third base. Right, Sure, 72 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: it's difficult to start a preseason game. What's more difficult 73 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: starting your first preseason game or getting thrown in there 74 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter with the fourth stringers trying to 75 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: make the team. I mean, Lewis Riddick, like, you can 76 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: mask it all you want. You're obviously rooting for Shahdore Sanders, 77 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: which is okay, okay, But to make it out like 78 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski is gonna do this kid wrong. Have you 79 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: been to Browns camp? Have you talked to Stefanski? Of 80 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: course you haven't. You been on set of ESPN. So 81 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: not saying you don't have sources in the league. You do, 82 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 1: but you're just making assumptions like, oh, this is what 83 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: they're gonna do, and I know what they're gonna do, 84 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: and they're gonna hold them to a higher standard. But 85 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: if anybody can do it, super snor Sanders can do it, 86 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: why would that be the case, what would the purpose be? 87 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: I mean, just like again, let's just ask ourselves very honestly, 88 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: the Browns are in quarterback purgatory, right, quarterback purgatory. They 89 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: had to feel like they didn't have a chance to draft, 90 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: or maybe they didn't want a quarterback in this year's draft. 91 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: That's why they traded out of what the number two 92 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: spot and traded down right, So maybe they wait for 93 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: a year. But if the idea is well, they're waiting 94 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: for your If Shador Sanders hits, okay, they get the 95 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: steal of the draft. If relevance matters to you, you'll 96 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: be very relevant. But it doesn't matter. They simply want 97 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: somebody who's good and oh yeah, by the way, he'll 98 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: be inexpensive. He's a fifth round draft pick. He costs 99 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: you nothing. I mean, this is brock Purty two point zero, 100 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: only he was evaluated at a higher level than brock 101 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: perty even though brock Purty different but very successful college 102 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: quarterback who had some similar struggles late in his college 103 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: career because he was playing at Iowa State. He wasn't 104 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: playing at Oklahoma. But this idea that the world's out 105 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: to get a schor Sanders, Oh, I know how this works. 106 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: They're gonna set him up for failure. That's what Lewis 107 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: Reddick said. They're setting him up for failure. They're gonna 108 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: ask him to do things. How do you know that? 109 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: Why would they do that? What would the purpose be 110 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: of it? And the idea that, well, this is just 111 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: so incredibly difficult. The only guy that could do is 112 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 1: to shoot or Sanders, I'm telling you right now, do 113 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: you think it's more difficult and you probably don't have 114 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: all of the ones to play with half the ones 115 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 1: and twos? Or to come in the second half of 116 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: the first preseason game as the four stringer and play 117 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: with four stringers, especially a quarterback who is not the 118 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: most mobile, holds onto the ball too long, and is 119 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: in a new offense. Which one do you think is 120 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: a more difficult task? And the idea that a team 121 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 1: that owns the rights to a guy who some people 122 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: had as a first round pick on their board falls 123 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: to the fifth round, and they don't want to take 124 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: advantage of what could be an absolute gift in terms 125 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: of salaries, right because remember they're still they still have 126 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson under contract. Deshaun Watson is still under contract 127 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: with the Cleveland Browns. I believe he gets paid the 128 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: next two years. Right. They reworked his deal in this offseason. 129 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: He's got two He tours Achilles ten and twice, so 130 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: he's not gonna play this year. He's he doesn't get 131 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: paid by the team. He gets paid probably by insurance. 132 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: But it does hit the books. If they can have 133 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback on a fifth round contract and they 134 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: can jettison you know, Huntley who they just signed h 135 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: and all the other court like they let's just kind 136 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: of call it like it is, they'll be have a 137 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: chance to be the Niners two point zero, where you 138 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: pay your quarterback nothing and you load up your roster 139 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: with dudes that can really play things that NFL teams 140 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: don't do. You know, again, unless Shador has actually like 141 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: a complete ass the whole time, unless he has made 142 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: himself into a pariah. And if he was made into 143 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: a pariah, they would have already cut him. They would 144 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: have already moved on sign multiple quarterback. Well, why they 145 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: signed Tyler Huntley because you need more guys to throw footballs. 146 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: You can't have one guy throwing two hundred balls every 147 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: day at practice and everybody else's hurt. You heard Dan 148 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: Byer yesterday say, Hey, everybody else's hurt. There's a good 149 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: friend of mine who's been a general manager in the NFL, 150 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: and he used to tell me that when I'd ask 151 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: him about these types of things, he was like, honestly, 152 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: you're watching football from an entertainment perspective. It doesn't work 153 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 1: that way. The only thing we care about is if 154 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: we can win games. How can we win games? And 155 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: you can win games when you have more money to 156 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: play with for the rest of your roster, and if 157 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 1: you have Shodoor Sanders any really good enough and he 158 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: go in there and not screw it up and just 159 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: throw the ball. We're it's supposed to throw it. If 160 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: he doesn't have it, throw it away. You know, get 161 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: everybody what anything to get. Let's make it super simple 162 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: for you. You're just a rookie. You line up, you might 163 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: hand the ball off nine times and ten. Great if 164 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: you can do that, and we can save a bunch 165 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 1: of money, we can build up a roster around you. 166 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: But he see, I never forget this. I'd said this 167 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: with Jason earlier today, like that's entertainment. And yeah, ESPN 168 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: the E does stamp for entertainment, But there's no E 169 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: in NFL. There's win games or get a new job. 170 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: So the idea that they would rather make Shador Sanders 171 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: look bad by elevating him too soon despite a lack 172 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: of practice reps is comical. By the way, the job 173 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: of a backup quarterback is, if you have no reps, 174 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: figure out a way to get it done in the game. 175 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: Just kiss, keep it simple, stupid. But I told you 176 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: guys this yesterday and I mean it. Shador Sanders is 177 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: going to be the new Kaepernick if he gets cut 178 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: by the Browns. Every time a quarterback goes down, you'll 179 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: have somebody go. You know, they should sign Shador Sanders. 180 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 4: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug 181 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 4: Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on 182 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,199 Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 183 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: For over forty years, Tyrek has been helping customers on 184 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: the right touch for how what when they drive?

I'll do a network game five 189 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,599 Speaker 1: seventy LA Sports with the call Hansie slams, hits a 190 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: drive right center field. 191 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 4: That's pop back. 192 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: He is gone. 193 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 5: He's done it again. 194 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: Two home rounds on the night for monthly and the 195 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: Dodgers lead it four to two. That's your guy, Max Munsey, right, 196 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: That's that's what the Dodgers have been needing, is little 197 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: Max Muncie. Dodgers win, Yankees lose, seems like a good 198 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: day in the in the ad Jason Stewart household. 199 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 2: So there's this theory. If you listen to Dodger sports 200 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 2: talk or read the message boards, or you're a part 201 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 2: of Dodgers Twitter, there's a segment of people who was 202 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 2: not pissed off at Andrew Friedman for doing zero at 203 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 2: the trade deadline, and they they were playing the same notes. 204 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 2: It was almost like when the Democrats send their talking 205 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 2: points out to all their all their political the. 206 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 1: Way the Republicans, Yeah, you do the same thing, right. 207 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 2: They said the Dodgers trade deadline are people coming off 208 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 2: the il like so many people said that it sounded scripted. 209 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 2: Max Munsey came off the IL. So for one night, 210 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 2: for a period of two and a half hours, that 211 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 2: minority of people who thought they were very clever by 212 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 2: saying that the Dodgers trade deadline are people coming off 213 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 2: the eel, they were proven right for two and a 214 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 2: half hours. 215 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: Fair enough, fair enough, pretty amazing, though, how one guy 216 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: can one guy can help and we'll see you. You know, 217 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge couldn't do it for the Yankees last night? 218 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: Didn't they lose? No walk off? I think they did, 219 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: But you mentioned how much the Yankees need Aaron Judge. 220 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: Same type of thing, right, Sometimes one guy, obviously Aaron 221 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: Judge a little bit more than Max Bunts. They can 222 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: make a difference in stats, but sometimes it's just about energy. 223 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: We'll get to Adam Kaplan in a moment. It's our 224 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio NFL Insider. He also host the Inside 225 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: the Birds podcast. Uh I do think that the Dodgers 226 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: are the most interesting thing in baseball right like, don't 227 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: get me wrong, living in Wisconsin, the Brewers are super 228 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: interesting and they've had an unbelievable year. But the Dodgers, 229 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: if they have the ability to repeat, and then they 230 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: were playing so well, and yes it was injuries, but 231 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: then they just started to fall apart. Now they've won, 232 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: but two of three, three of five, you know, they 233 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,599 Speaker 1: got to finish up this homestand for the thing on 234 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: the Angels that it's the Padres Series and then it 235 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: gets really interesting. They play the Padres like I think 236 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: six out of nine games, So we'll find out where 237 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: the Dodgers are at that point in time. Stug Gottlieb show, 238 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: you're on Fox Sports Radio. Let's welcome in Adam Kaplan. 239 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: Of course he has the Inside the Birds podcast. Plus 240 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: he's our Fox Sports Radio NFL insider and Adam, let 241 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: me ask you, what are people like yourself who cover 242 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 1: the NFL saying about the NFL network and ESPN merger. 243 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's interesting. So Doug, you may or may not 244 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 6: have known this, but back I think No. Nine or 245 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 6: Twenty ten ESPN and NFL Net in the NFL actually 246 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 6: talked about potential for merger, but you didn't go far. 247 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 6: But and there were there were concerns about how much 248 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 6: control the NFL wanted over content and all that, so 249 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 6: it didn't happen. I just remember when I got to 250 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 6: ESPN in twenty thirteen, It's one of the first things 251 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 6: I heard about. And then you always want to could 252 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 6: this ever happen? And it's gonna happen, and we're waiting. 253 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 6: Obviously it's got to get approved by government and it 254 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 6: will and then see how this shakes out. But it's 255 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 6: it's very interesting. A lot of people are curious about 256 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 6: what this is going to look like. We're certain shows, 257 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 6: show's gonna go what control? 258 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 5: What is NFL? 259 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 6: What is ESPN going to do with NFL networks programming? 260 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 6: Certain shows? Are they going to get a rid of shows? 261 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 6: What's absorbed? What's not that? When you have a merger, 262 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 6: that's what happens. It's like what do they take? What 263 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 6: do what do they decide not to keep going? So 264 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 6: it's gonna be interesting. 265 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: It's gonna be really really interesting, really interesting. Okay, let's 266 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: get to some of the stuff. What's going on with 267 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: the Cowboys? You had Jerry Jones with the acting like 268 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: they had a deal agreed to. He's like, hey, when 269 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: about the cowboys thirty second conversation a handshake agreement, but 270 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: Micah Parsons still hasn't signed the term sheet. What are 271 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: you hearing about? What's actually going on in Dallas? 272 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 6: All right, here's what happened so and here and I'll 273 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 6: get to where we're at now. So basically, Jerry Jones 274 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 6: and Michael Parsons had some pretty interesting conversations about what 275 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 6: the contract would look like, land guarantees and so forth. 276 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 6: But Parsons put a stop to it because he's like, 277 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 6: wait a minute, my agent's not involved. I haven't agreed 278 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 6: to anything. But they did talk. They talked heavily what 279 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 6: it would look like. But David mulget is his agent, 280 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 6: and Jerry never ran it by Muligeta, and Parsons put 281 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 6: a stop to us. 282 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 5: So we moved back. 283 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 6: We move this forward a bunch of months, and he's 284 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 6: having a hold in is Parsons and Jerry Jones thinks 285 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 6: that they had a handshake agreement, but Jerry tried to 286 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 6: pull a fast one. It's just it's it's not good 287 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 6: if you're Michael Parsons, you simply can't play on the 288 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 6: contract that you have, and nor does he plan to. 289 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 6: And the Cowboy they would like the deal done, like 290 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 6: Michael would, but Jerry wants to kind of hold him 291 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 6: to what they agreed to. But Mike, of course doesn't 292 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 6: think he agreed to anything. They just they talked heavily 293 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 6: about what it would look like. So he's gonna make 294 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 6: Parson's gonna make twenty four million this season, and then 295 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 6: you know, if for some reason this doesn't get done 296 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 6: by the start of the season, which I still think 297 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 6: it will, then you've got next year on the fifth 298 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 6: year option. But he's so vastly underpaid. I mean, we 299 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 6: got deals now over forty million for edge rushers forty 300 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 6: and the guy JJ Watt turns thirty one this fall, 301 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 6: and it's going to average forty one million a season. 302 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 6: So yeah, this has to get done. This circus is 303 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 6: just it's this is a different one though, I'll tell 304 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 6: you this is for as long as I've covered this 305 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 6: business twenty seven years, I've not seen a situation like 306 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 6: this where owner back try to backdoor a contract negotiation 307 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 6: without the agent being involved. 308 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: Why did he do that? 309 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 6: You already you would have to ask him. I see 310 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 6: what I find interesting is I know that Jerry and 311 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 6: Mike have had a relationship where Mike has respected Jerry 312 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 6: a lot and they they've talked a lot. And now 313 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 6: Jerry might say, hey, listen, I just wanted to talk 314 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 6: to him and see where he was at and escalade 315 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 6: to something. But Jerry never said, hey, let's get your 316 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,239 Speaker 6: agent involved, let's get this done right now. It was 317 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 6: He's like, it's it's kind of like you mentioned the 318 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 6: term sheet, Well, we've got agreement average per season length 319 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 6: and guarantee its signing. That did and then obviously your 320 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 6: agent has to look it over. But that's it like that, 321 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 6: That's that's kind of the way that he looked at it, 322 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 6: and that's not the way you have to do it, 323 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 6: because he Parsons clearly says he did not agree to it. 324 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: But again, but what is the why would they grab 325 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 1: him and not run it by his agent? What is 326 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: the main. 327 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 6: Well, because because you know, in contracts, you can have 328 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 6: a verbal agreement, but it's not you can't enforce it 329 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 6: because it's not written. 330 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 5: And that's what you know. 331 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 6: Jerry was talking about that in a way that with 332 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 6: the media this week. He knows that they have to 333 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 6: have it, they have to have a contract, but he 334 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 6: thinks it's a foregone conclusion. 335 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 5: That they have a deal. 336 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 6: So you what you have is their loggerheads here and 337 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 6: at some point Jerry Jones has got to talk to 338 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 6: his agent, David Mulligatta. And in the way it is, 339 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 6: as you know, in contract negotiation, so you don't lose leverage, 340 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,919 Speaker 6: neither side wants to call each other. That's that's the 341 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 6: way I can tell you with NFL contracts, it typically 342 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 6: it's like the agent does not want to call. They 343 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 6: typically will not call less absolutely necessary. 344 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: Stut Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio, Terry McLaurin, 345 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: what's going on there? 346 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, so you've this is very odd hold it. He 347 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,199 Speaker 6: claims he's got an ankle injury. They definitely want to 348 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 6: do a deal. He wants to get a deal. They're 349 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 6: not close as a couple as forty eight hours ago. 350 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 6: I understanding was that they were not close. He wants 351 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 6: a deal in the neighborhood of dk Metcalf, which is 352 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 6: thirty thirty three million a year. Metcalf, by the ways, 353 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 6: a couple of years younger, mclaurin's sort of like the 354 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 6: heart and Saw the football team. 355 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,360 Speaker 5: Here's what you have, Doug, to sum this up. 356 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 6: You've got a GM in Adam Peters, who definitely wants 357 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 6: to extend mclaurin's contract, but he doesn't have the same 358 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 6: urgency that you would have if you had if you 359 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 6: drafted the player, and he just doesn't have that. It's 360 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 6: just the way it is. He just forever reason doesn't 361 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 6: see it the way McLaurin does. 362 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 5: Now. 363 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 6: It's not like they offered him twenty million and he 364 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 6: wants thirty three. You're talking about somewhere around twenty seven 365 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 6: to twenty eight million. 366 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 5: They got to get it up. 367 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 6: They got to move up, and plus they got to 368 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 6: guarantee at least two years and maybe even partially for 369 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 6: the third. So they're not there yet. But the season 370 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 6: doesn't start till September. But it's not good. One thing 371 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 6: you should know, Doug, and why it's highly unluckly not impossible, 372 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 6: but it's highly unlikely that they would. 373 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 5: Want up trade McLaurin. 374 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 6: They have no one to fill in for him, like 375 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 6: literally nobody, and Deebo Samuel doesn't play the same position 376 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 6: receiver position. He plays more of a slot gadget hand 377 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 6: it off slants where mclaurin's they're one deep threat. 378 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 5: So yeah, they're not prepared now. 379 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 6: If something escalates, I could tell you that they would 380 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 6: have to get a receiver back in the trade, but again, 381 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 6: they really don't want to trade him. 382 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: I want to play for you something. This is Lewis Riddick. Yeah, 383 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: ok So, so Shador Sanders is going to start the 384 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: first preseason game for the Browns, right, And it's by default, 385 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: right because they got injuries to the three guys that 386 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:32,959 Speaker 1: had him on the depth chart, or at least two 387 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 1: of them at him on the depth chart, with Joe 388 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 1: Flacco being old enough. We know Joe Flacco. Okay, so 389 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: this was Lewis Riddick earlier today. 390 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 3: I'm afraid he's gonna get on the field in preseason 391 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 3: games without a lot of practice reps, and then they're 392 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 3: going to ask him to perform these heroic tasks in 393 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 3: order to prove that he's worthy of being a starter 394 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 3: when he hasn't had enough reps to really get comfortable. 395 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 3: That's the kind of battle he's dealing with right now. 396 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,640 Speaker 3: I know I've seen it. We've been in these camps. 397 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 3: We know how that goes. 398 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 4: You don't get enough reps. 399 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 3: They play a whole half of a game, and then 400 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, coaches are going, why are you 401 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 3: making that mistake? Why aren't you making that check? Well, 402 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 3: damn coach, I never was in there in practice. You 403 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 3: never even talked to me during practice. But now you 404 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 3: expect me to know. That's what they're gonna expect of him. 405 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 3: But if anyone can get it done, it's this kid, 406 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 3: because he's been trained the right way. But I'm telling 407 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 3: you he is ice skating uphill. 408 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: Okay, So he's painting a very difficult picture for shoud 409 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: Door Sanders, which is reasonable, but he's acting like the 410 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: Browns are intentionally putting him in a situation where he's 411 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: going to fail and holding him to a standard which 412 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: would be deemed as unfair. Again, that defies logic to me, 413 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: because the Browns they should want a young quarterback to 414 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: be able to play, to do what San Francisco has 415 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 1: done the last four years and play a guy and 416 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: not pay him anything. What's the reality on your hearing 417 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: of how the Browns feel about shud Door Sanders. 418 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 6: Well, a couple things, Doug, the thing that Rick is 419 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 6: talking about, I think is that Sanders has had very 420 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 6: little work with her first team offense. And that's you know, 421 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 6: that's not great because you it's a timing thing, a 422 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 6: rhythm thing. 423 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: We would you would you rather play with the fourth stringers? 424 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,239 Speaker 6: Well here's the but no again, I'm just telling you 425 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 6: where's I'm just explaining you from a football No. 426 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: I understand what he said. I mean, I understand he's 427 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,360 Speaker 1: been like one day throwing with with the ones he's 428 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: had obviously all this lead up and prep after that. 429 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: But I get like, what what are the other options 430 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: that they have? Well, they have. 431 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 6: Tyler Huntley, Yeah, they started. They signed Tyler Huntley, who 432 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 6: just got there. By the way, he's been with them before. 433 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 6: And now their decision not to play Flacco, it's not 434 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 6: about evaluating him. 435 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 5: They know what they have in Flacco. He brought them 436 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 5: to the playoffs two years ago. 437 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 6: You could say, look why, one might say, why why 438 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 6: isn't Flack would just play the first half and Sander's 439 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,199 Speaker 6: closed the second half, played the second If that, that 440 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 6: to me would been the smarter thing. But they want 441 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 6: Sanders to start here. It's it's not I it's not ideal. 442 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 6: I would agree with Lewis on that it's not a 443 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 6: great thing. Now here's the thing much. 444 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 1: I'm just, I'm just telling you right now, I think 445 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: it's it's it makes no sense. I agree with you, 446 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: but let me play player perspective. From my from my senses, 447 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: I would so much rather play with better players around me, 448 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 1: better offensive lineman, better skill position players, better guys. I 449 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: can play with them less, and they're not going to 450 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: give him some ornate you know, game plan right like, 451 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,679 Speaker 1: nor are they going to see exotic blitz us from 452 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: the defense. It's meat and potatoes. Nobody's showing anything. I 453 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: would rather play with the good players than play with 454 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: the guys that are likely to be on no rosters 455 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: or some other roster. 456 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 6: Although I would tell you though, when you when you're 457 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,199 Speaker 6: a third or four shiing quarterback, which you generally has been, 458 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 6: you've worked a lot with those backups, so he should. 459 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: Again, I understand when you've worked with more, others are 460 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: just clearly better. I'd what I I'm just, I would 461 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: much rather play with the starters. That's way better to me. 462 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, I hear you on that. I honestly again, to 463 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 6: move us alonger, I would have started Flacco, but Stefanski, 464 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 6: Kevin Stefanski, who's their play caller, decided differently. 465 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: You mentioned your desires like I would have started Flacco. 466 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 1: There are a lot of teams that are playing their starters. 467 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 5: In the I know it's changed, do you know why? 468 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 1: Like we went through like a we went through what 469 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 1: A When did McVeigh become the head coach of the Rams? 470 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: This is like seventeen years. 471 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,360 Speaker 5: Ago, seventeen maybe twenty sixteen to twenty seventeen. 472 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: Okay, so wow, that's a long tap. So almost the 473 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: last decade, Sean McVay has greatly influenced most of the league. 474 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: Most league it was like, yeah, we'll play him a 475 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 1: little bit, and he was like, we're not playing him 476 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 1: now of a sudden, you know, the pendulum swings. Why 477 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: all right? 478 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 6: So the ways explain to me is this because I 479 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 6: asked the same question. There are two things that have happened. 480 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 6: First of all, we went from four to three preseason games, 481 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 6: right that that that changed. And the fourth preseason game 482 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 6: is when nobody would play. The third preseason game was 483 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 6: the dress rehearsal. Well, the starters would play into the 484 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 6: second half. They don't do that anymore. In fact, what 485 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 6: you're seeing is, okay, the starters will come a lot 486 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 6: some Some teams will play their starters if they've got 487 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 6: to join practice next week. 488 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 5: They used to join. 489 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 6: Practice as the as the work for the week, and 490 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 6: they don't play in the preseason game. That's been because 491 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 6: the the joint practices have been the big thing is 492 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 6: you know in the National Football League for last oh 493 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 6: four or five years in big time, not every team 494 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 6: all majority of the NFL teams do it, sure, but 495 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 6: it's what what i'd heard is, it's one it's one 496 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 6: last one fewer and the setups a little bit different 497 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 6: with with one less game to evaluate, you want to 498 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 6: get your starters in a little bit more. Now McVeigh 499 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 6: doesn't seem to care. He just he's like, we're not 500 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 6: getting anyone hurt. 501 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 5: You know. 502 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 6: It's funny Andy Reid when he was in Philly, he 503 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 6: he just he said to me one year because I'm like, coach, 504 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 6: why didn't you play your starters? Just like, my job 505 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 6: is to get my guys to the to the regular 506 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 6: season healthy as possible. But he's changed out with Kansas City, 507 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,640 Speaker 6: he's done sort of a one to eighty. 508 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 1: You mentioned Philadelphia. Obviously this is another another super Bowl 509 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,479 Speaker 1: and another departure of their offensive coordinator. Has their offense 510 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 1: look so far in the preseason, Yeah, I. 511 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 6: Think it's been uneven. Look, it's it's hard to go 512 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 6: against Vic Fangio's defense. The Egles defense coordinator. Now, they 513 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,959 Speaker 6: don't blitz, but you know, the number one defense last season. 514 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 6: And they've had some injuries. A. J. Brown's missed practice 515 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 6: with a hamstring injury. Devantie Smith missed overweek with a 516 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 6: back injury, so that that's definitely been a problem for 517 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 6: getting their timing down. But the last three days of 518 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 6: practice this week, they've done much better. And you know, 519 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 6: the big issue for them though, and I spoke about 520 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 6: their defense is they're gonna have a minimum of five 521 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 6: new starters on defense. They're having a That's why they 522 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 6: made this trade this week with the Raiders to to 523 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 6: get a corner. They're struggling a little bit opposite quinnyon Mitche, 524 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 6: who's our first round pick last season. Yeah, Jacorey and 525 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 6: Bennett is the corner. It's gonna wear a number forty nine, 526 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 6: a cameo from the Raiders. So by the way, Eagles 527 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 6: really liked he unfortunately had laboram surgery, shoulder labor surgery. 528 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 6: So he's fine now he's been in practice. But that's 529 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,439 Speaker 6: a situation to watch the left cornerback position for the Eagles. 530 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 6: It's it's it's not not looking good right now. That 531 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 6: which is why they mad they just made this trade 532 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 6: this week. 533 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 1: All right, NFL NFC North is really interesting. Let's start 534 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: in Minnesota. What are you hearing Jordan Addison suspended first 535 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 1: three games. That doesn't help the wide receiving core and 536 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: you got essentially a rookie quarterback in JJ McCarthy. You know, look, 537 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: it's hard to tell. We watched little clips, but the 538 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: little clips don't look great. What are you hearing in 539 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: terms of returns on JJ McCarthy. 540 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 6: Yeah, so so I'm gonna go back to last summer. 541 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 6: So when he came in, you know, he's a first 542 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 6: round pick and a lot of teams I talked to, 543 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 6: In fact, I know team's had their round great on him. 544 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 6: He had issues with mechanics, footwork, and boy, Kevin O'Connell 545 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 6: make great strides with him. He got hurt in that 546 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 6: first preseason game against the Raiders, and he looked fantastic. 547 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 6: I mean he looked really good, and then he tours 548 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 6: miniscus sometime in that game and his off season, Remember 549 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 6: he didn't get clear till till June. It's been uneven. 550 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,719 Speaker 6: You know you mentioned Addison. I mean, he's a lot 551 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 6: of practice. He just can't he can't play for three 552 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 6: weeks first three games. But they're gonna be okay. They're 553 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 6: gonna be okay. Tej Hocketts dealing with something that their 554 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 6: startsight end, which is why they just signed a tight. 555 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 5: End this week. 556 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 6: Now, one thing you should know is they're gonna have 557 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 6: three new starters from their offensive line. And then Christian 558 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 6: Darrisol missed all last season with an ac ell injury. 559 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 6: So it's a little bit of work in progress there with. 560 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: Minnesota Chicago Bears. Caleb Williams, Yeah, a Ken you know, 561 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: scrimmagers doesn't look great. There's a lot of chattery. Doesn't 562 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 1: look great. But what are you hearing about the reality 563 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: of how the second year quarterbacks plan. 564 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's been it's look, it's been very challenging for 565 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 6: Ben Johnson to get cable ones to play with discipline. 566 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 6: It's been He's certainly been uneven. It's going to take 567 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 6: some time. Ben Johnson coaches real hard. He did a 568 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 6: great job with Jared Goff, who was a reclamation project 569 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 6: after he came over from the Rams. This is going 570 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 6: to take more. Williams mechanics aren't great. He's got great 571 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 6: talent loose thrower, and he's got a great arm. They're 572 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 6: super loaded with offensive talent, skill positions. They too much 573 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 6: of Minnesota. They have three new starters on the tier 574 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 6: of their offensive line. But they're super excited about the 575 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 6: upside of this team. And Ben Johnson will say this. 576 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 6: He coaches hard, and he's brought a ton of discipline 577 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 6: in they're building, and the players so far have taken 578 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 6: to it because there's gonna be accountabilding that building, because 579 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 6: there was not last season. 580 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: You're the best man. Love working with you, love having 581 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: you on, and love your your overall knowledge of everything 582 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: that's going on.

That's what we want 598 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:15,719 Speaker 7: to know? For better or worse? Jerry Jones versus Micah Parsons. 599 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 7: Who's handling it better or worse? 600 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: I've been thinking about it a lot. 601 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 7: Okay, good to know. 602 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: Do you remember Nick Pickai when he would make his picks? Yes, 603 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: we would say push push. I would say, this is 604 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: a push. Do I think Jerry Jones and Stevin Jones 605 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: are handling it? Well? I don't. It is kind of 606 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: par for the course. Do I think Mark Parsons heiling? Well, No, 607 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: it's a holdout, but a hold in. He's really mad, 608 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: he wants to be traded, but he's still showing up. 609 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: And I'm sure a little part of it is because 610 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 1: of his podcast. You know, it's like, look, I have 611 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: there's a line you have to walk when you have 612 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 1: radio or podcast whatever and what you can talk about. 613 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: So I think the whole thing has just been handled 614 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: poorly all around. Michah Parsons is going to be a cowboy. 615 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: It's under contract, and you know what, after this year 616 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,239 Speaker 1: he'd be under contract again, and in the next year 617 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: he'd be under contract again. The teams have the power 618 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: with the franchise tag, and again, just this becoming public, 619 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 1: there's a lot we don't know. I'm still trying to 620 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: figure out why they didn't go through David Molgeta. My 621 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: guess is that Michael Parsons just want to get the 622 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: deal done and then he probably ran it by Moulgeda 623 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: like hey, I don't worry about it. I got it done, 624 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: and then Molgeda hit the roof, like what do you 625 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: mean they talked to you without me, just like your 626 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: lawyer would if you know, you get called in and 627 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 1: you talk to the police without without hitting the impresident. 628 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 7: I think Jerry Jones just wanted to do a deal 629 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 7: where the NFL in siders wouldn't say contract negotiated by 630 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 7: David Mulgetta. I think that's why he just wanted to 631 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 7: leave him out of the whole thing, and then all 632 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 7: the insiders would kiss butt to the agent when they 633 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 7: send out the tweet that Parsons got his extension. 634 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: I don't know, No. 635 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 7: It's completely facetious. I was just being sarcastic. 636 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: Yes, Kings, Oh you did the Jason Stewart there really 637 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: good dead pan. 638 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 2: I think Sam news that snare drum ready to love that. 639 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 7: This contract negotiated by you know, Young and Hurst. You know, like, 640 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 7: all right, we know what you're doing. So yeah, like 641 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 7: I understand the game. Sometimes maybe you'll have a guest 642 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 7: on a show, but like, guess what, you're the agent 643 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 7: for multiple people. We'll have this guest on so we 644 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 7: can have that one later on. Like, I get it. 645 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 7: I understand the game, but doesn't mean I have to 646 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 7: like it. Yeah, all right, Doug for better or worse, 647 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 7: preseason plan, playing starter some or not at all. 648 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I like playing playing starters some. 649 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: I just think it better. It's it's better. I just 650 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: think it's I'll tell you this from a it's a 651 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: different sport, it's a different rhythm. Okay, but uh, you 652 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: got no idea what you got until you put them 653 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: out in game action zero and not that scrimmages or 654 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: exhibitions really help you, but it doesn't hurt you in 655 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 1: terms of your valuation. And I just think you can 656 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: you can make up some ground on other people and 657 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: be more ready to play. Do you run the risk 658 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: of injuring them? Yes, you run the same risk, by 659 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: the way, when they're playing in these scrimmages, you know, 660 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: these these when two teams get get working, and they 661 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: did the same risk of injury, if not more so. 662 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: So I think you'd be smart about it. But you 663 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 1: wanted to feel like a game, and that the only 664 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: way you feel like game is by playing in a game. 665 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 7: For better or worse, Doug, what Travis Hunter does on 666 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 7: the football field offense versus defense. 667 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: Yes, I can't tell you. I haven't watched his All 668 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: twenty two tape, but if the Jaguars are focusing more 669 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: on offense, it tells you then that that's where he's 670 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,320 Speaker 1: that's what he's best at right now. So I would 671 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: say for better wide receiver for worse defensive back. 672 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 7: Okay, quick update, Northwest Region elimination game, Little League World 673 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 7: Series Oregon leads Alaska eight to one. Alaska's committed three 674 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,840 Speaker 7: errors so far in the first two innings of this game, 675 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,320 Speaker 7: so excuse me first one inning as they are currently 676 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 7: in the field. Doug for better or worse, youth sports 677 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 7: travel baseball versus Little. 678 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: League travel baseball is way better. Oh way better pony baseball. 679 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought. 680 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,839 Speaker 7: Worse. I love little league travel. 681 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: Baseball because you're just watching the because you're watching this. 682 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, I like this. 683 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 7: I like the small parks in the way that it's 684 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 7: dressed up. But imagine doing this every weekend by choice 685 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 7: and not like just like advancing, Like that's just the 686 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 7: kids do. 687 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 1: It every weekend. They all play travel ball. 688 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,879 Speaker 7: Yeah, but it's not your little league. Also, your little 689 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 7: league All Star team is advancing because you're trying to 690 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 7: get to Williamsport. Sure to go and play when you're 691 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 7: twelve years old, to go across state borders. This is 692 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 7: all stuff I'm dreading as possible. 693 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: It's awesome. It's a long day, doubleheaders, Oh, a long day. 694 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: Everything's a doubleheader. But it's great. Man. 695 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,359 Speaker 7: I hear more horror stories than I do actual good 696 00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 7: stories of these things, So maybe maybe I just haven't 697 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 7: heard enough good stories. 698 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: But I mean, I will tell you I played with 699 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 1: a travel basketball team before is Au, but we played 700 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,879 Speaker 1: all the time. Those are some of my best friends 701 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 1: in the world. Stories that I would you know, guys 702 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 1: from all over southern California. I thought it was I 703 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 1: thought it was great. 704 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:03,479 Speaker 5: I did well. 705 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: It's like, if you don't want to sit on a 706 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: metal bleacher for six hours on a Sunday, it's gonna 707 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 1: then you're gonna have a long couple of years. But 708 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,359 Speaker 1: if you don't mind that, I mean, and by the way, 709 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,839 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna take you coach your kid. It's the 710 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 1: best to be there when they strike out and they 711 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,359 Speaker 1: cut up the next time and get a hit. 712 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:29,360 Speaker 7: Amazing, all right? For better or worse? Sports TV Network 713 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 7: MLB Network versus the NFL network. 714 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:43,799 Speaker 1: Wait which networks? MLB Network, MLB Network's the best. I 715 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 1: just I don't. I'm not as into baseball obviously, as 716 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,879 Speaker 1: in football or basketball. MLB Network's the best, better, better, better. 717 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 1: I think it's the best production, best graphics, they're the 718 00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 1: most inside. They don't there's nothing salacious about it, right, 719 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: whereas everybody else kind of chases the topics. I don't 720 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,840 Speaker 1: think they do MLB networks the best? 721 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:10,319 Speaker 7: And we've run out of time. That's game time. 722 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,360 Speaker 4: This is game time on the Doug Gottlieb Show. 723 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 1: So I want to have a discussion next with all 724 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:22,359 Speaker 1: of us part of the Midway.
