  Speaker 1: Whatever you want to talk about Wednesday on Stegotten Company
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Here on Fox Sports Radio eight seven, seven ninety nine
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: on Fox Mikey, I feel like we have to start
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: shifting our conversations away from the Yankees, away from the
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: North Carolina tar Heels, and towards the NFL and football.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Don't tease, Well.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I'm not teasing. I'm going to get to it because
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I think I feel like we need to get our brains.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: It's like we're in you know, training camp mode right now.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: We need to, you know, kind of work out our brains.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: It's oh, I'm going to start slow here, okay, try
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: to get into football shape, all right.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: On average, football takes.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: On average every year, six teams that made the playoffs
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: the year before will not make the playoffs the next season.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: So that means, in all likelihood, we will have six
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: teams who made the playoffs a season ago not make
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the playoffs this year, which means, on average, there are
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: roughly six new teams in the playoffs every year, and
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: you wonder why the NFL is so popular and so great.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Literally every team but the Jets has a chance. And
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: so I am wondering here, both from the audience and
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: from you guys. I don't want to do all six teams,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: but just some teams who made the playoffs a year
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: ago who you don't think are going to make the
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: playoffs this season, and some teams who didn't make the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: playoffs a year ago that you think will make the
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: playoffs this year. And the Kansas City Chiefs is an
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: obvious one. So I think that's where most people would start.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: Right For me, the easiest one, I would go with
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: a team that made the playoffs last year that won't
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: make it this year. For me, it's the Pittsburgh Steelers,
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: where you're banking on another year of Aaron Rodgers getting older,
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Mike McCarthy new head coach there, and then really it
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: comes down to the division where you'd expect the Ravens
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: to be better in Jesse Mentor's first year, and then
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: the Bengals. It's hard to see the Bengals going six
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: and eleven again, if Joe Burrow could stay healthy in Cincinnati.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: What do you think of Mikey.
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna go with the Jacksonville Jaguars. I just don't
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: think that division is.
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: Good.
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: I think that they're gonna get one team in, and
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: my guess is going to be the Houston Texans because
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: they do have that championship level defense and I think
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: Trevor Lawrence comes back to earth.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: This is our training camp. I want to remind you, guys,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: you chose too easy ones. Okay, in order for this
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: to you have to have a hot take. And so
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the Seattle Seahawks, the raigning Super Bowl champions.
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: Why they're in a very tough division.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: We took the three and four seeds. I picked the champs.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, how about that to not make the playoffs
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: this year? Why is that a bad pick? It's a
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: hot take. It's a good.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Take because there's almost no scenario where the Seahawks go
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: from a team that was fourteen and three last year
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: to a team that falls out of playoff contention, unless
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: unless you're just banking on an injury to Sam Darnold
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: at the quarterback position, and they're having to rely on
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Jalen Milroe playing quarterback.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying they won't be in playoff contention. I'm
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: just saying they're in a tough division. If you're gonna
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: do this, it has to be a hot take.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: The Steelers, right, I mean, they got in what at
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: nine to eight last year, and the Ravens are in
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: that division.
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: They didn't get in so last year the Steelers they did.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: They did get it.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Last year the Steelers were ten and seven. I think
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: if you're going for the easiest answer for this, for
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: a team that missed the playoffs, it's gonna make the
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: playoffs this year, the easiest answer were just to be
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: go to the NFC North where the Lions finished nine
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: to eight dead last there and say the Lions are
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: gonna make it because somebody has to win that division,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: and all four teams in that division are pretty strong.
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: All right, let me give you the NFC team to
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: the playoffs.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: Go ahead, Mikey.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry I was gonna say not only that, but
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna tell you the team they're gonna knock out,
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: and that's the two seed. Last year in the NFC.
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: I don't think the Bears make the playoffs. I think
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: too much broke right for them last year. Now they
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: won so many games late. I think Caleb Williams is
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: fools gold, even though Stu Gott stinks he's the best.
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: And I don't think they make the playoffs.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Keep in mind, on average, six teams who made the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: playoffs last year will not make the playoffs the following season.
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: So I'll give you the playoff teams from last year.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Let's go through them and tell me if you think
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: they're gonna make it back to the playoffs this year.
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: Patriots, no, thank you. That's how you play the game.
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: Mikey a screaming, I'm so excited. Football's here.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: Patriots playoffs all right, Bills playoffs, playoffs all right?
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Steelers Taylor said no Ravens could make the playoffs. I say,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the Ravens don't make the playoffs. The Steelers don't make
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. The Bengals do make the playoffs and win
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. How about that. That's how we play
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: It's trading camp. That's a trading camp.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Take yeah, Jaguars playoffs, Texans playoffs, yes, Broncos yes, Chargers
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: my Super Bowl pick.
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: On average, six teams aren't going to make it. Back Eagles.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: This is one.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: This is one where you could talk me into the
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Eagles not making the playoffs because yeah, unfortunately, I'm buying
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: into the Cowboys hype this year, they get Von Miller.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: I like their defense being able to be a lot
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: better this year, and I think that's kind of been
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: what's hampering them, their their bad defense. I think Caleb
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Downs fixes a lot of issues on their defense.
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: He's gonna have to that was that was a really
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: really bad defense last year. Dak Prescott can't stay healthy,
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: Jerry Jones won't put in uh you know curtains at
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: at the stadium that even CD Lamb is saying, Please,
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: I'm not buying into the I'm not buying into the
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: Cowboys hype.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Nope, I'm not either. The Eagles make the playoffs. I
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: have Jalen Hurts winning the MVP this year. I mean,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I am really just giving out on takes.
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: Here over over Caleb who.
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: You think it's going to be the best quarterback in
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: the NFL of all time at.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Some point eventually, Yes, but not this season. Okay, not
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: yet a little too soon. We're a year away from
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams being the greatest quarterback that anyone has ever seen. Eagles. Uh,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: so let's go to the Bears. Mikey says, no Packers playoffs,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: all right, Vikings and Lions in that division. I mean
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Lions a team that didn't make the playoffs a year
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: ago that I could see making the playoffs this year.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: I think when you're looking for a regression in the
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: NFC North, it's coming of the Minnesota Vikings.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: All right, Okay, Carolina, I can't believe they made the playoffs.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: I mean somebody had to.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: So I mean, can't we just say NFC South and
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: just say one of them makes it?
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Like do we have to?
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: Because there's no difference between any of them.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: So that would be the obvious division that in the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: AFC Central would be the obvious divisions when you say, hey,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: whoever won those divisions a year ago not gonna win
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: it this year. They're not going to make the playoffs.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: And you would find your teams that didn't make the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: playoffs who are gonna make the playoffs in those divisions?
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: Yes, So I get Baker Mayfield's whole thing is about
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: having a chip on his shoulder and being the guy
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: that proves everybody wrong. But yesterday he was talking to
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: the media and he said, everybody's picking against us, probably
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: to have a losing record, So we'll see when I
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: prove them wrong. I would just like to inform Baker
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Mayfield currently they are the favorites in the NFC South.
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: Is he crazy?
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: You're not? You're not the New Orleans Saints right now?
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: Man?
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: But who is doubting Baker Mayfield? Is he hearing voices?
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: Does he just?
• 8:01
  Speaker 8: No?
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: One is saying that.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Who is hyping up the Buccaneers or who is crushing
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: the Buccaneers?
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: Where Baker somehow is going to find the chip? He
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: makes it up, He puts fake chips on.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: His shoulder, put it on the Paul Taylor. Does Baker
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Mayfield put fake chips on his shoulder?
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: Yes, Mikey.
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: I was just wondering if you knew there was no
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: such thing as the AFC Central for about twenty five.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: Years AFC North.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: What a time though, when the AFC Central was a thing.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I remember same teams, I think, no.
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: Similar put it on the pole.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Do you remember the AFC Central? So I have the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Seahawks not making it because it has to be bold.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: It, it has to be a hot take.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I think Seattle because I still don't believe in Sam Darnold,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: although I shouldn't be doing that.
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: But they give away.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Walker to the Kansas City Chiefs. I just think of
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: that division. That is a I know they won the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl, guys, I understand that, okay, but it's would
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: they be the first Super Bowl winning team to not
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: make the playoffs the next season?
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: I don't think so. No.
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: The Patriots. The Patriots missed it, right, They're winning the
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: Super Bowl. So today after Tom Brady got hurt and
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: it was a Matt Castle year.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: All right, So allow me to be the first in
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: sports media as everyone is working at the kinks here
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: and given hot takes for the NFL. Allow me to
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: be the first. And if anyone else says it, they
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: stole it from me.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: The Seattle Seahawks, the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks will
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: not make it to the postseason this year. I said it,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: and I said it first.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: So the last Super Bowl winning team to miss the
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: playoffs the following season was the twenty twenty two Los
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Angeles Rams, where they finished twenty twenty two, five, and twelve.
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: So it's possible. Yes, but it's possible. That's all I'm saying.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: Same Division two.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, Ryan Day, the head coach of the Ohio State
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Buck Guy's going to join coming up in hour number two.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Mike Norval will be on the show tomorrow. Exciting football

• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Week goes to Cubs all star Pete crow Armstrong, who
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: led off last night's game against the White Sox with
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: a home run. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, crow
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Armstrong is the first player in MLB history with two
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: leadoff home runs and a walk off in a two
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: game span. Congrats to Pete crow Armstrong for being our
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: Express pros Pro the Week.
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: It's exciting here the NL MVP race.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Pete Crow arms wrong, as you just heard Taylor say,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: hit a leadoff homer last night, second straight night. He's
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: done that, three homers the last two nights. He might
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: be the best center fielder in all of baseball just
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: in terms of fielding. And Otani went yard last night
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: as well. You guys are impressed. I watched them baseball Huh.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: I mean this, dude, This, this NL MVP race right
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: now is absolutely fantastic today where it feels like Otani
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: and Pca are very much aware of what the other
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: person is doing, and every time they're going out on
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: the field, it feels like they're trying to up the
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: other one. Yes, there's only been one instance of a
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: co MVP award in the regular season in MLB nineteen
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: seventy nine, Willie Stargel of the Pittsburgh Pirates Nay Keith
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Hernandez as the Saint Louis Cardinals.
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: If you have two MVPs tallor you know what that means, right.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: You have none. Yes, we are very much tracking towards
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: a situation where it feels like this vote is going
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: to be decided by one or two votes. I would
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: not be surprised if we get a co MVP favorite,
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: a co MVP result between Otani and PC, because it's
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: that close right now on FanDuel, Pca is actually the
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: current n L favorite minus one sixty five to show
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Aotani at plus one forty.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: So it's interesting because this is an MVP race that
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: people actually care about. You ask if the Dodgers are
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: good for baseball or not. They're great for baseball because
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of people just don't want to see show
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Hey Otani win the MVP because he wins it all
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: the time. So they become kind of the team and
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: he's become the player that people are rooting against when
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: you base it, if you were to base it on
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: expectations headed into the season, Otani's on a loaded team.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Cubs were supposed to be good, but
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Pete grow Armstrong is the reason they're good. This Dodger
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: team might win a World Series without Otani.
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: In fact they have.
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: I mean, I think Otani is the better player.
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: I just think that there's.
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: Some voter fatigue with sho Hey Otani that it's like, yeah,
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: we've seen this, you do this, we get it, whereas
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: we're aching for another name to throw in there. So
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: we're trying to find a Red Sox to the Yankees,
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: We're trying to find a Michigan to the Ohio state.
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: We're trying to find a rivalry that we can push
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: every year. I think if I were to place a
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: little sprinkle FanDuel, I would probably lead PCA because I
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: think they're gonna want to vote for him.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: The voters are gonna want him to win it. You're
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: saying enough voters are gonna want him to win it. Yes,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So you guys hit on the two biggest reasons
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: why right now. I think it is PCA's award to
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: award to lose the Otani fatigue. It's no fault to
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: Otani that he's a four time MVP. And Mikey. The
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: only point that I disagree with you is trying to
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: find somebody who's who's worthy of challenging Otani because PCA
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: is historically having one of the best seasons I've ever
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: seen from the fielder and he's more than deserving of
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: being in the conversation. And then Stu, I think the
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: other point that you made is the right reason where
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: the Dodgers are bad for baseball narrative. You take Otani
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: off the Dodgers, they're probably still a really good team.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure if they're a World Series team just
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: because of they're aging very rapidly with players like Freddie
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: Freeman and Mookie Betts. Yes, but if you take PCA
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: off the Cubs, you could fairly confidently say this Cubs
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: team is not even a playoff contender.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: You take Otani off the Dodgers, they still make the playoff.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: You take PCA off the Cubs, they're not making the playoffs.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, probably not.
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but to that end, Taylor, you're forgetting Like last year,
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: remember when they tried to convince us that cal Raley
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: versus Aaron Judge it's going to be a thing for
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: a while. Cal Raley the big dumper, He's the guy
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: that's gonna challenge Aaron Judges.
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: Well, where's cal Raley right now? Where is he? He stinks?
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: He's awful? Well, the big dumper, of course he stinks.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I mean still actually saw this stat This stat.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Was stigning one fifty seven.
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: Wow, what a drop off.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: So that was the big narrative l year cal Ray
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: versus Aaron Judge. Cal Ray has fifty two hits this season, right,
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: Aaron Judge has fifty three hits and he hasn't played
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: since May thirty.
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: First, they gave it to the right guy last year.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a little unfair to cal Rawley because cal Ray
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: was having a historic season giving it, Yeah, a catcher position.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I know, But I mean Taylor give me the average again,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: one fifty seven, right, I mean, Yankee fans would be
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: screaming right now, how'd you give it to cal Raley?
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: Right? Yes, he's got.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: To go like twenty for twenty to hit the Mendoza lot.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: So when it comes to the nl MVP. The only
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: people who I think are wrong in this situation in
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: the Otani PCA debate are the ones that are pretending
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: that there's no debate at all. Either either you go.
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: In with the there's a debate, yes, if you go
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: in with.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: The perceived notion that it's PCA's award at this point,
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: or if you go in that it's Otani's award at
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: this point. I think those are the only people that
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: are saying like it's it's definitively over because if the
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: season did end today. It's as subjective a finish as
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: you could get where hitting they are comparable. PCA is
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: having statistically one of the best fielding seasons we've ever seen,
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: and then Otani has pitched eighty five innings this year
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: to a sub two era.
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: Pete Crow Armstrong is the best name in sports, is
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: it not? I mean, it's so I love it. It's
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: so good PCA.
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: You don't like it, Mikey, No, I'm just trying to
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: think if it's the best name.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, PCA is it. It's good, But I mean
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: cal Rawley is good.
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: Is even better?
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: You're right, Yeah, you seem to be upset that he's
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: merely bad in one forty two. I understand that you
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: like the guy. Yes, good name, good nickname or whatever
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: it is. I don't care. He's not an MVP, but
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: great name and a great nickname. PCA is a great nickname.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Pete Crow Armstrong, He's a great name for a baseball player.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: And MVP yes or MVPCA.
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: Otani has four MVPs. Yeah.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: My favorite narrative of the PCA part of this whole
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: thing where he has a great first half of the
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: season last season and then he kind of falls off
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: a cliff the second half of the year, and this
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: year kind of starts slow this year and then has
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: had an MVP obviously season this rest of the time,
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: the Mets angle of this where the Mets are catching
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: strays because the Mets are the ones that traded him
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: to the Cubs and it was for a half season
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: rental of Hobby Bayas where the Mets still missed the postseason.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: It's like, man, the Mets. There are certain organizations where
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: it feels like they can't get out of.
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: Their own way. The Mets are one of them, and they're.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Always going to find themselves on the opposite ends of
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: these strays. The Mets. The Mets are the gold standard
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: when it comes to that.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: If I'm being honest here for a minute, when that
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: trade went down, I didn't know who Pete Crow Armstrong was,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: and I knew Hobby Guy is his name, right, And
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: I remember saying calling my brother and saying, great trade
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: for the Mets.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: We won that trade.
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, I mean how many prospects have been traded
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: that you go, I don't know who that is and
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: then you never find out who they are because they
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: never become anything.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Yes, And how happened to trade away an MVP candidate.
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: Right, but for a guy who could be a missing piece.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: That's why I thought of the time, it was a
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: good trade for the Mets missing pets.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: If the Mets want to give you somebody, is it
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: the same as if the GM of the Eagles wants
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: to sign you, is it like you just like that's
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: the guy.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Well, if Howie Roseman calls, you don't pick up the phone.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: If the Mets call, you pick it up. Every single time,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: you drop everything you're doing and you pick up the phone.
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: Yes, yes, whatever you want to give me, Yes, you
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: can have it.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: Yes, you take the flyer and you're like, we could
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: fix whatever the Mets are trading us to the Mets
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: credit though, I don't know if anybody could have saw
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: like that p Crow Armstrong would have turned into this.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: Like you go back to all the profiles of PA.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: It sounded like somebody who was gonna be this utility
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: Ford type outfielder, be a great, be a great base runner,
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: hit for contact, he's a thirty for thirty guy. I
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: don't think anybody could have projected that.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Here's the problem, though, it's their job to predict that
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: it's their job to know that. It's their job. It's
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: not ours. It's the scouts of the New York Mets.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: It is their job to tell the general manager, this
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: guy's really good.
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: Do not trade them.
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: I just picture that scene in Moneyball where all the
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: old scouts are sitting around and Brad Pitt's like, no,
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: we're gonna do things different, And I'm going he's.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Got three names. He's not gonna be any good. Trade him.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: We can get Hobby Bias so that names.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Yes, player, Yes, that's interesting because Pete Crow Armstrong when
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: he's in the minors not a great name.
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: But as he ascends it he becomes an MVP.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Candidate and a thirty thirty guy, that bad name turns
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: into a great name.
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: It does. Yes, if he got three names, you don't
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: have one.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Ryan Dagan to join us in an hour number two
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: heads to head coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes eight
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: seven seven ninety nine on Fox. That is eight seven
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: seven nine on Fox. We will get to Ike in
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: a sports update in just a minute. Fernando Mendoza took
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: first team snaps yesterday in practice for the Raiders. Mikey
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: is smiling already because we love Fernando Mendoza.
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: How can you not?
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: I'm just wondering if anybody on the Raiders noticed, Like,
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: do you think any other player noticed on the Raiders
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: that it was Mendoza not Cousins.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: It's a very good question, and I don't have the
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: answer for you, but it is a good question.
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: It is a good question. Cousin's probably noticed.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know, but I want to play this
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: sound from you because I think that Fernando Mendoza is
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: becoming my new favorite quarterback.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: Just because he's so nice. What a kid.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, listen, your parents, and you have a child,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: you want your son to grow up exactly like Fernando Mendoza.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Listen to this sound from Mendoza after we get some
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: first team reps in practice for the Raiders. Guys, let's
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: not listen to the sound of Fernando Mendoza before get
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: heads some first after he gets first team reps for
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: the Raiders in practice. You guys, just let me know
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: when you have this out. I feel like Sherman Oaks
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: is doing a different show than we are. I mean, oh,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: it's ready now, okay, So here is Fernando Mendoza pretend
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: the last minute or so just never happened.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: All right, racer, I'm playing iosam.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna stick with me for a couple
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: of weeks, but listen in your cars out there, just
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: pretend it never happened, all right. This is Fernando Mendoza
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: after getting some first team reps and the media sitting
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: down and talking to him.
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: Right after that, Bractice be able.
• 21:37
  Speaker 9: To go against the Texans defense, which is also a
• 21:39
  Speaker 9: top defense in the league, go against them people to
• 21:42
  Speaker 9: get some reps with the ones and against the superstars
• 21:44
  Speaker 9: on their defense, and then obviously the twos.
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: Are fantastic as well.
• 21:48
  Speaker 8: We got so much work, whether it was new to
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: the ball, first down, third down, red.
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: Zone, two minute, There's so many situations, and I believe
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: overall is a positive day.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: There were plays that I loved and.
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: Plays that I wish I had back, but in reality
• 22:03
  Speaker 9: that's a lie. I wish I didn't have him back
• 22:04
  Speaker 9: because a growing experience and it's practice.
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: It's practice, and this is what I love.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: And it's a beautiful day to play football here and
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: I'm so happy.
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: If so many things were learned from from today.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: There isn't a bigger juxtaposition in sports between a player
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: in this city he plays in than Fernando Mendoza's too.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Nice to live there, right, Yeah, No, as polite as
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: he is anywhere in the entire city.
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: You're right, So I was.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: Actually I saw this article from Mike Silver of The Athletic.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: He was he was interviewing Fernando Mendoza about his rookie
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: year coming up and expectations, and Mike Silver asked him
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: about the strip on Las Vegas, and Fernando's knows' response was,
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: I've been there once or twice, but I haven't really
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: experienced the strip a lot. It's like a boogeyman. A
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: lot of people talk about the strip, like you don't
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: want to go there. It's like when you're a kid,
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: you're trick or treating and there's the haunted house. You're
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: not trying to go over there.
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: And I believe them. Most players say I try to
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: avoid the strip.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, get out of here. That guy's lying.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: He doesn't want to acknowledge what he's doing in Vegas.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Not Mendoza. I believe him when he says he wants
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with that strip. He's terrified of it.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, Mike, what he gets there?
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Does he just go wow? Look at the lights? Look
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: at all these lights.
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: Guys.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: You have him being like Buddy the elf in Elfie
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: when he goes to New York City for the first time.
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: I think there's a bid here.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: The most interesting man in the world, remember those do
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Seki's commercials. The nicest quarterback in the world, something like that.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: There has to be. Let's play this out one more
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: time here. Listen just how nice Fernando Mendoza is to be.
• 23:40
  Speaker 9: Able to go against the Texans defense, which is also
• 23:42
  Speaker 9: a top defense in the league, go against them. He
• 23:45
  Speaker 9: would get some reps with the ones against the Superstars
• 23:48
  Speaker 9: on their defense, and then obviously their.
• 23:50
  Speaker 7: Twos are fantastic as well.
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: We got so much work, whether it's new to the ball,
• 23:55
  Speaker 8: first down, third down, red.
• 23:57
  Speaker 9: Zone, two minutes, There's so many situations, and I believe
• 24:00
  Speaker 9: overall is a positive day. There were plays that I
• 24:03
  Speaker 9: loved and plays that I wish I had back, but
• 24:06
  Speaker 9: in reality that's a lie.
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: I wish I didn't have him back.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: Becau it's a growing experience and it's practice.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: It's practice, and this.
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: Is what I love, and it's a beautiful day to
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: play football here, and I'm so happy.
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: If so many things were learned from from today, that's
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: so good.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: So there's a certain level of charm. Every time Fernando
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: Mendoza speaks. It's like you're hanging on every word just
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: to say, like, oh, like he's so cute. Yes, but
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: part of that is like he's coming off a season
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: where where he won the National Championship, right, yes, Like
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: if he was on a seven and six team and
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: you heard him talk like this, people would be questioning,
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: does Fernando Mendoza have the right mentality to be an
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: NFL quarterback?
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: He'd be kicked out of football.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I mean serious, absolutely, he'd beat Tim Tebow. There's no
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: way he gets drafted number one overall. If his team
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: went seven and six a year ago and he's that nice,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: it only works because, yes, his team was that dominant
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: last year football and he was that dominant.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: Do you think any of his coaches can chew him out?
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Do you think like any of them could get in
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: his face and yell at him or is he just.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Like no, you're right, absolutely, yeah, I'm sorry, sir, Yeah, yeah,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: But they're definitely trying hard enough on me. No, they're
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: definitely trying to break them. Like, don't give up on me, coach,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna work hard.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: This is a situation like if John Gruden was still
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: the coach of the Raiders, John Gruden would be licking
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: his chops every morning on the way to to the facility,
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: being like, yes, I'm gonna be the one that breaks
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Mendoza today.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: But there's nothing more annoying than you yelling at a
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: person and that person just staring back at you, a
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: agreeing with you, right, and me just with a smile.
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: He's smiling while you're yelling at him.
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: Yep. I need to do better.
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: The next time we have Chris Simson, I want to
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: ask him if John Gruden could make Fernando Mendoza cry.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: I want to know if John Gruden is I don't
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: think that good, right. I don't think he could either.
• 25:58
  Speaker 7: I think he only cries happy tears. I do.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: I also saw this quote from Fernando Mendoza when he
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: was talking about after playing his first preseason game. He
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: said he was surprised by two things after his first
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: preseason action. Yeah, defenders being much faster compared to college
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: and having to drive to the game.
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: He doesn't have to drive to the game.
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: He knows that, right, what's the other option, have a driver? Yes, well,
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: I think he's just used to the team buses leaving.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: The team bus is leaving at twelve o'clock. Right, we're
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: going to go to the game instead of Oh, now,
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: the entire responsibility is now on me getting there.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: It's adorable, it is, but seven and six he's kicked
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: out of the league.
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: Bernando Mendoza only cries happy tears for every interception he
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: throws because he gets to learn from it.
• 26:47
  Speaker 7: I'm telling you so excited.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you he cries. He cries more when he's
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: happy than what he's said when he's upset. He's never upset.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Every day is a great day. Every day is a
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: learning moment. Every day he's trying to get better, and
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: he only cries when he actually gets better and he
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: sees the fruits of his labor.
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: You know, Fernando, you just threw a pick six to
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: cost your team the Super Bowl? How do you feel, man?
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: I just couldn't be happier. I am going to learn
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: so much from this experience.
• 27:12
  Speaker 7: Next year I want to do that.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: So there's two quarterbacks that I think are in this
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: category of every time they talk right now, I want
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: to hear what they have to say. Really, it's Fernando Mendoza,
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: because Fernando Mendoza is gonna spin everything into a sunshine
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: and positive and you kind of hear the newness of
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: when he's talking about the NFL experience, which I think
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: is pretty interesting. The other quarterback that I hang on
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: to every word he says, Jameis Winston.
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: It's Jamis say I was going to argue that if
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: it wasn't Jameis Winston.
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: Jameis Winston is the other guy I want to hear
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: every time.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Yes, I've never cared about what a backup has to say,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: more so than when Jameis Winston speaks. I am totally
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: with Taylor on this, not Baker Mayfield. Though you don't
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: hang on his words, No, you're tired of his words.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: I couldn't really care. I could care less about what
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: Baker has said.
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: Well, it's the same words every single time.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: Ever, ever since, ever since we went to Tahoe and
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: I went up to Baker Mayfield and I try to
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: book him on the show, and he said no, thanks,
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: I'm good. I've kind of been out on Baker Mayfield.
• 28:12
  Speaker 7: Ye, but he gave you a real no. It wasn't
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: a colin. I do respect that. Rather than i'd rather
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: than than the jokes. Yeah, Mike, Mikey.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: It was such a harsh no that, like all week,
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: I was just building up the confidence to start asking people,
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: and then the second I got some confidence rushed him.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: Baker Mayfield just stabbed me through the heart.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Imagine Mendoza and Tahoe. I mean, he'd be on every show.
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: He can't say no, he would never be able to
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: get to the driving face he would be on with
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: with the local show from Kansas City.
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: Yes and no.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: Part of Fernando Mendoza was like, why am I doing
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: a radio show in Kansas.
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: City right now? I was happy to do it.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: One of my biggest problems with the with football, Like
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: I'm I'm just as excited as everybody else so that
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: the NFL is about to start. No, it's not debatable.
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: Actually, okay, well it is.
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: I mean everything is second technically everything, Yes, steven A,
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: it's not debatable.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: My least favorite part about football this time of year
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: is it feels like as we're going through training camp
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: and we're going through preseason. It's just what teams can
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: survive until Week one where you're hearing Ike's update. Jayden
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: Higgins from the Texans goes down with a tornt acl
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: Tyler biadish Front from the Chargers. They're starting center that
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: they got this free agency who was supposed to be
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: a big part of solidifying their offensive line. I don't
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: really love that part of football where you're it just
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: feels like teams are holding on and just hoping to
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: get to Week one healthy.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert now has a built in excuse. I mean,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: this entire offensive line is Hurts always does.
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: Where there's a will, there's an excuse for Justin Herbert.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: Who do you have winning the Super Bowl?
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: Tale?
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: I had the Chargers, now this is this is reshifting
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: my prediction to the Bengals. I mean no, no, no, no, no,
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: probably Cowboys.
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: Really yeah.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: Von Miller. Von Miller believes that this could be the
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: Cowboys year well because he went there. Yeah well, and
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: he was also saying like it would be winning a
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl in Dallas would be different than winning a
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl in La or winning a Super Bowl in Denver.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: Like he mentioned that in Denver, there was a pretty
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: good turnout for when they won the Super Bowl, and
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: then LA it was few and far between the Rams
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: fans that were at their championship celebration. Sure, if the
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: Cowboys do win a Super Bowl, it's special. It feels
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: like it would be New York Knicks level of pandemonium
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: sweeping the streets.
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: I think that's a fair comparison.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: I think the Knicks winning the NBA title, while it
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: annoyed many people, it was still special and it got
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: a lot of people excited. I do think winning a
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl for the Dallas Cowboys means a little something different,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: maybe a little more than winning a Super Bowl in
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: let's say Seattle.
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: Is that fair for sure?
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: Once, if you have the nickname America's team, everything that
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: you do is amplified. Like Steve Smith cannot wait on
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: Monday mornings to talk about the Dallas Cowboys if they lose.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: Nobody is racing to a microphone to talk about the
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: Seattle Seahawks if they lose.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Right, I would say winning a Super Bowl for Pittsburgh
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: and Green Bay probably means means more.
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: No, I mean it does the most other teams.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: I think the Cowboys are.
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: Well, you have to factor in the last time these
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: teams won a Super Bowl. It's been a minute.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: For the Dallas Cowboys, it's been a while, I think
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: for the Steelers, I mean the Packers, it's been a while.
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: And those are three, you know, storied franchises in NFL.
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: His three, I mean they are.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: I agree that those three probably are more.
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: I think the Cowboys might be a little more than
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: even Green Bay or Pittsburgh.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I think those are three where you go, yeah,
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: it probably means a little bit more there.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: Yes, on the opposite end of that spectrum, what team
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: winning the Super Bowl would move the needle the least?
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: Because I think the clear answer is the Jacksonville Jaguars.
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: The Jacksonville Jaguars. Is it really why big ratings in London?
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, in their London's team?
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: They should do they should do the parade in London.
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: How about Arizona?
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: No one cares.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: No one wants to see them in a Super Bowl.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Even when they were in the Super Bowl, I wish
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: I was wishing they weren't there.
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: I mean, how about the Colts.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: I would say the Colts are the most benign team
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, and sports.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: Perhaps no one cares?
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: Really, yes, why would anyone care?
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Pat McAfee, he's the only one fine, and he's racing
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: to a microphone and he has so many to choose from.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: I stand corrected, Peyton Manning, Jeff Saturday, those guys care.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: But other than that, I'm not certain anyone really. No
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: one wants to see the Colts in a Super Bowl nobody.
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: Did you see the news that Pat McAfee is now
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: going to be on Monday night football coverage?
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: Why not?
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: And ESPN it used to stand for Entertainment and Sports
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: Programming Network, Now it stands for every shows Pat's.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Now there's like four hosts remaining. They host everything Rehys Davis, Greedy, McAfee,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: and who's the fourth? I can uh Schrager, Well, Schreger,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: That guy's He's all over my.
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: Television, Josh, Pat's coming for everybody's stuff? Is it what
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: the college football guy?
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: Yep?
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: Really yeah, no, but it's Reyes Greedy.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: There's someone I'm leaving out here, No, Scott fan Pelt
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Stephen Ah.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's not hosting. He's at every event.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, they have like four guys who're
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: their main hosts who now host every single event.
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: McAfee's one of them.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: Would you be surprised if tomorrow we got a press
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: release from ESPN that said Pat McAfee's hosting a new
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: show with Joe Buck and it's called Pat McFee keeps
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: it a buck?
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: Do you want us to answer?
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Terrible name?
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'd be surprised that they would name it that.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Ask the question again, what port are we supposed to
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: be surprised about that he got a show with Joe Buck?
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: That would not surprise me? Yes, that was the question.
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: Would you be surprised if Pat McAfee came out tomorrow
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: and he has a new show with Joe Buck and
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: it called it's called Pat McAfee, keeps it a buck.
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: It's a terrible name, Thank you, thank you.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and no, I would not be surprised if Pat
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: McAfee teamed up with anyone at ESPN at this point.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: I would be surprised if they did a show and
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: they named.
• 34:19
  Speaker 7: It that buck.
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, with Pat McAfee.
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: There you go.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: I like that one, bucking the trend with Pat McAfee.
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: Buck, you.
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: With Pat McAfee, let me hear it? What buck? Yeah?
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: Weird. Thank you. Fuck yeah, I said, buck h Taylor.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: You wanted to talk about it, and I'm proud of
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: you because you're getting into the NFL shape here.
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: Okay, we're working out our brains here.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: You wanted to talk about players with the most pressure
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: headed into the NFL season.
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: Yep, that was my question that I had for everybody today.
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: Who has the most to prove in football this season?
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Give me football music back in Sherburn Oaks if you can.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Anytime we talk football, I would like to hear the
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Fox football music, IF's.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: If that's at all possible, Thank you.
• 35:24
  Speaker 7: I would say Mikey.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: An easy answer for me in terms of the player
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: that has the most pressure on him, Well, it's not
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: an easy answer, but it's my answer. I'm gonna say CJ.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Stroud because that defense is a championship defense. It has
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: been for over a year now. Simms told us this
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: last year that team, their defense is good enough to.
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: Win a Super Bowl. CJ.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Stroud got off to such a great start as a rookie.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: It's kind of been downhill since. But they are literally
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: a quarterback away. That team is super Bowl ready and
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: it appears that they are a quarterback away from make
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: a serious run.
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: And C. J.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Stroud is that quarterback he was so bad in the
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: postseason last year.
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: That's a good answer. It was gonna be mine. But
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: I'll go with the same position, same conference. I'm gonna
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: go with Lamar Jackson. You got rid of the coach,
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: you wanted him gone, It's now your team. There's no
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: question it's time for you to actually get that Super Bowl.
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: So for me, it was a coin flip between Lamar
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: Jackson and where did the coin land? Josh Allen? Wow,
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: Josh Allen, same situation where your coach got replaced, everybody's
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: looking at you with how much talent you have and saying,
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: Josh Allen, it's time to win. And now that he
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: doesn't really have that built an excuse of the Chiefs
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: being down, this feels like a year that Josh Allen
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: has to win a Super Bowl.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Who's the coach who has the most pressure on him.
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: Rabel's right up there for me.
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: Rabel really yeah, yeah, yeah, his off season, what happened?
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: They had a good offseason. I mean, man, they got
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: a J.
• 37:00
  Speaker 7: Brown.
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: I feel like you could go the AJ Brown route.
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: Nick Sirianni in Philadelphia.
• 37:06
  Speaker 7: Oh wow, No, he's five walls.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: He should have job security and somehow the guy who's
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: been to two Super Bowls does it.
• 37:13

• 37:33

• 37:34
  Speaker 7: Is it just me? Or give me the music? Great execution,
• 37:41
  Speaker 7: so good.
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: Mikey.
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: When you hear this music, what do you think of?
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: Like?
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: What?
• 37:50
  Speaker 7: Oh? I think? Is it just me? Or is this
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: the best music all there? He is dancing again? You're
• 37:59
  Speaker 7: an underrated answered? You really are? Yes?
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, he's acknowledging it.
• 38:05
  Speaker 7: I'll tell her you are good dancer.
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, two left feet, two left feet.
• 38:10
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: Really you can't.
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: You can't do the Shirley temple stare where you just
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: hold the Shirley temple you stir it around with the cherry.
• 38:16
  Speaker 6: Not only just kind of bob and weave with the
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: music a little bit.
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: Not only can I do it? I don't want to
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: do it right.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Well, you would if you stop drinking Shirley Temples and
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: start ordering tequila.
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: I mean dancing away.
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: It helps stude you cut a rug or what.
• 38:35
  Speaker 7: No, I'm terrible too left feet, but I want to.
• 38:39
  Speaker 7: I try.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not afraid of it. I don't care I'll embarrass myself.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: I do it all the time. I mean I danced
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: at my kids bought Mitzvah, and I was terrible. I
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: was hammered, but I was terrible. My kids were embarrassed
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: and they're like, dad stopped dancing. And I said, why
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: you embarrassed and they said yes, And I said, that's
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: the reason I keep doing it.
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: I mean, how about that.
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: There is a video somewhere one of the most epic
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: dance battles ever do a two in the history of
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: the world, and that is Mike gold Junior and myself
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: at a wedding.
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: Oh wow, Gojo's good.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there were ties on heads. It was. It got crazy.
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: It's a rite of passage though, for kids to be
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: embarrassed by their parents, right, because I was thinking about
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: this earlier, like even celebrity, like the super famous, the
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: coolest of the cool people, like say, my parents were
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: Travis Kelcey and Taylor.
• 39:31
  Speaker 7: Swift right cool parents?
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: Yes, definitively cool. Those kids would still grow up at
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: some point thinking while my parents are embarrassing them?
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: Of course, yes, were your parents.
• 39:43
  Speaker 6: I looked forward to this. I looked forward to embarrassing
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: my kids. I got such an opportunity last week. Yes,
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: and I grabbed it by the horns. And I embarrassed
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: my kids so bad. And the worst was all of
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: his friends loved it, and that made him hate it
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: even more.
• 40:00
  Speaker 7: Yes, it's all we have left. I mean, it's it's.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: Morbid.
• 40:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I live for it all I got.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: So my wife is told my daughters, Hey, if you're
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: embarrassed by whatever it is dad is doing, don't let
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: him know that you're embarrassed by it.
• 40:16
  Speaker 7: If you wanted to stop quickly, do not let.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Him know nothing. Just don't tell him, don't show it,
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: just deal with it.
• 40:23
  Speaker 7: We'll be over quickly.
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: Who do you embarrass more? Your daughter's or your wife?
• 40:27
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: My wife?
• 40:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not even close, because she actually chose me, like.
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: My kids didn't have a choice. My wife has to
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: look at me and go right. I said yes to that.
• 40:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and you're out with friends, and they're like, you
• 40:40
  Speaker 7: chose that.
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: What's wrong?
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: What is wrong with you? Right?
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: That's what you've thought was the best option for your life.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: They don't say it out loud. It's not an open
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: discussion at a dinner table. But when you go to
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: the bathroom. Oh yeah, all.
• 40:56
  Speaker 7: Right, Taylor, are you leading us off today? Yeah?
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: I'll go first.
• 40:59
  Speaker 5: I forgot about the game for a second.
• 41:00
  Speaker 7: I was just joining the music.
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: Is it just me? Or is the whole concept of
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: joining a fraternity or sorority in college kind of lane?
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: It's not just you, So Stu, I don't know. Have
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: you seen the situation that happened at Penn State?
• 41:15
  Speaker 7: No so.
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: Pennsylvania authorities have charged fourteen people, including thirteen current or
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: former Penn State students, in connection with an alleged cocaine
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: trafficking operation run through the Sigma Chi and Delta Upsilon
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: fraternity houses during two thousand and three twenty twenty four.
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: Rolls right off the tongue.
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: YEA letters are a foreign concept to me. I'm looking
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: at these.
• 41:44
  Speaker 7: Concept to me, so Stu.
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: Prosecutors say, alleged ring leaders Agostino Albotiello and Thomas Robinson
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: a lot easier to say obtained clear out obtained cocaine
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: from Philadelphia and New York than had it cut package
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: and sold primarily to Penn State students. Some fraternity pledges
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: were allegedly made to help prepare the cocaine as part
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: of the pledging process, and people are now calling these
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: kids Pablo Pledge Cabar.
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: It's one.
• 42:15
  Speaker 6: It's it's it's a top five nickname in all of sports,
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: all sports.
• 42:21
  Speaker 7: It's hard to say.
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: It's tough to say.
• 42:23
  Speaker 7: It can't be the.
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: Top five nickname.
• 42:24
  Speaker 7: If it's tough to say, I mean, try again say it.
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: Say quickly, Pablo Pledge Cabar.
• 42:30
  Speaker 7: All right, go ahead, you can't say it.
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: You're saying cigar.
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: Poplo pledge cigar.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: You're saying cigar though. It's a Northeast thing. I'm telling
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: you tailors from the Northeast though.
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: So it's a point though, if you're these pledges.
• 42:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it's college, man, it's college that.
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: You're committing felonies that you're gonna go to jail for.
• 42:53
  Speaker 7: To see in college stands for cocaine, I mean.
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: And of course it's Penn State to the white out game, right, did.
• 43:01
  Speaker 7: You want me to snort with laughter. There you got it.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: Like I am trying, I'm thinking of rails, I am
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: thinking of every possible I'm trying to figure out something
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: with Niitney Lions, Lions.
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: Nitney Liones.
• 43:19
  Speaker 7: We stumbled into it.
• 43:20
  Speaker 5: How about the Lions? Yes?
• 43:23
  Speaker 7: Try that, Nick Dave one more though you No.
• 43:26
  Speaker 6: I don't want to now self conscious about it. I'm
• 43:28
  Speaker 6: Taylor on the dance floor. I'm just gonna stand there
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: and watch you guys.
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: Yes, once again, I forgot. We were playing a game.
• 43:34
  Speaker 5: Mikey year up. That was a good one, Taylor. I
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: like that.
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: Thank you?
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 43:39
  Speaker 7: Is it just me?
• 43:40
  Speaker 6: Or is there no worse way to relieve stress than
• 43:42
  Speaker 6: play golf? I feel like golf is adds to stress
• 43:46
  Speaker 6: a lot more than that it takes away. I was
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: reading Dante Moore had had some mental ish mental health
• 43:53
  Speaker 6: issues after last season. He was looking at a lot
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: of social media posts that were, of course just filled
• 43:59
  Speaker 6: with the word types of people, and He's like, I
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: got offline and I started playing golf for my mental health.
• 44:05
  Speaker 6: And I was like, you couldn't have thought of anything better.
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: You couldn't have done knitting, you couldn't have done anything else.
• 44:11
  Speaker 6: To maybe relax yourself then play a game that has
• 44:14
  Speaker 6: people so angry.
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: All the time.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: I would say, as an avid golfer, staying online is
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: less stressful than playing golf.
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: No, I'm on the opposite side because I see where
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: Dante Moore is coming from. If you're just going out
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: there and you're not keeping score, a bogie's not going
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: to ruin your day. A double bogie certainly's not going
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: to ruin your day. If you're just out there and
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: you're just out there in nature and you're swinging a
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: club and you're seeing the greenery, and you're riding around
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: that cartes with some music on, and maybe you're out
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: there with a couple of brands.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh, it's cathartic Outdan, It's like meditation.
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like it's it's kind of like an escape
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: from your reality. Like study you golf a lot to
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: escape your family. Of course, yes, exactly. Really, I'm doing
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: it for my family because they don't want me. So
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: cathartic always, yes, cathartic.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: But when I miss a five footer and I'm playing
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: against my friend Danny Katz and I help him fifty
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: dollars because of it, it's it's not cathartic.
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: I'm angry, I'm stressed.
• 45:12
  Speaker 6: Oh stud, Would you rather read all the hate you
• 45:14
  Speaker 6: get online? Or double bogie sixteen going into you know,
• 45:18
  Speaker 6: one of your best one of your worst.
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: Days, all the hate?
• 45:21
  Speaker 7: Give it to me, Yeah, yeah, give it to I'll
• 45:23
  Speaker 7: read it. Sure.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: Listen Israel goudy Erez who was out today. But you
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: guys would agree, he's even keeled, he's not too emotional.
• 45:30
  Speaker 7: He's a nice guy.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Right, Yes, I'm the best, I mean, stress free, all
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff.
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: The one time I've never seen is he get angry
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: before until I took i Isy out of my golf
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: course for a round of eighteen holes, and on the
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: eleventh hole he had a bad shot, and he was
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: so tired of hitting bad shots he threw his club
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: further than he hit the actual ball.
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: That's because you're going into that round with the wrong mindset.
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: You have to go in with the mindset of I'm
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: just here to have fun. Now, if you're a competitive
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: side just takes over, right, Okay, then maybe golf isn't
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: for you. But if you just go in there with
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: the mindset, if I shoot a one hundred and fifty,
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: it's still better than being at home.
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: That's that's where golf is.
• 46:13
  Speaker 7: So I'm telling you that's there.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: As he went in with that mindset, if I hit
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: one fifty, I don't care.
• 46:17
  Speaker 7: I'm just playing golf with Stu. I'm happy, fun until
• 46:20
  Speaker 7: the eleventh hole happened. EP Jason has one out in
• 46:26
  Speaker 7: Sherman Oaks, Go ahead.
• 46:27
  Speaker 5: EP Jason.
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: Guys, is it just me or was Stu?
• 46:30
  Speaker 10: Gott's absolutely correct when he chose to not know or
• 46:33
  Speaker 10: care who Kyle Tucker was back in.
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: January, YEP validated the.
• 46:38
  Speaker 10: Free agent of the offseason, was signed by the best
• 46:42
  Speaker 10: team in baseball, and he has simultaneously let everyone down.
• 46:48
  Speaker 10: And I think he has made a clubhouse, a championship
• 46:51
  Speaker 10: winning clubhouse kind of toxic. And the way he's kind
• 46:54
  Speaker 10: of moping around, he doesn't want to go out in
• 46:57
  Speaker 10: the outfield's he's in right field begging for them not
• 47:00
  Speaker 10: to hit it to them. It's really been something that
• 47:03
  Speaker 10: nobody saw coming. This guy was a reliable major leaguer
• 47:08
  Speaker 10: for ten years and he kind of earned that contract,
• 47:11
  Speaker 10: and he's completely lost confidence. We have watched a guy
• 47:14
  Speaker 10: completely lose confidence over the course of three months.
• 47:18
  Speaker 7: Yep, it's the greatest thing that happened to the Mets
• 47:20
  Speaker 7: this season, not getting it rooting against him. Yes, who.
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: I have a stat Kyle Tucker's last twenty three at
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: bats the last seven days, he is one for twenty
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: three zero point four to three. Y are batting average?
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: Are right?
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: That's better than cal Rowley.
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: The phone started bringing in this room. The phone is
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: never rung in this room.
• 47:42
  Speaker 7: Open phone lines. Can we take calls?
• 47:47
  Speaker 5: We get We'll do a lot, Brady.
• 47:53
  Speaker 7: Anyway, Ricardo have one? I have told Bordot Ricardo has one.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: It's always exciting when I when I hear him speak,
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: there's no baseball on go ahead, Ricardo.
• 48:02
  Speaker 5: Well, actually you're wrong.
• 48:02
  Speaker 7: We are actually watching baseball.
• 48:05
  Speaker 11: But every day is it just me? Or every day
• 48:08
  Speaker 11: that passes in this season? Taylor becomes more right about
• 48:11
  Speaker 11: his Cam Schlitzler Paul Skeen's take, that's not just she
• 48:14
  Speaker 11: is after today. Paul Skeens has a three ninety five
• 48:17
  Speaker 11: e er. He only lasted four and a third innings.
• 48:20
  Speaker 11: Kam Schlitzler has a two to nineteen ERA.
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: Taylor was right, Yeah, listen, I didn't get into this
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: business to do it for the credit. Yeah, I don't
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: want the credit. I don't want Ricardo to pat my
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: back like he's patting my back right now, right. But
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: I'll take it.
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, of course you will.
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: I will not turn it away. But I didn't get
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: into this business for people to tell me how right
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: I am.
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: The same way.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, I could have done without ep Jason saying
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: I was right on Tucker.
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: But I'll take it.
• 48:49
  Speaker 7: So I'm the only one who hasn't been right.
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: Huh.
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: But anything, Mike, you would agree I'm right a historically
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: amount of times.
• 48:59
  Speaker 7: A shock.
• 49:00
  Speaker 6: It's uncanny how many times, yes, how many times you've
• 49:03
  Speaker 6: been right.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: We keep a track of who's been right the most.
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: I leave the league and being right.
• 49:08
  Speaker 7: You leave the show and being right the league too.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: Maybe, okay, maybe, mikey, is your kids started school yet
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: I asked for.
• 49:16
  Speaker 7: A reason to Uh No, they haven't.
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: Is it just me because I drove through a school
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: zone today not aware that school had begun?
• 49:27
  Speaker 5: Is it just me?
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: Or does school seem to start earlier and earlier every
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: single year? But that's I mean, when I was growing up,
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: school would start like a week after Labor Day.
• 49:39
  Speaker 6: Well, that's New York. Yeah, that's when school starts in
• 49:42
  Speaker 6: New York. It starts after Labor Day. When my kids
• 49:44
  Speaker 6: go back in August.
• 49:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well weird, what are we doing in August? It's summer.
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: Let the kids? Well, would you rather? I feel like,
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: if you're a parent, though, you would rather school start
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: as soon as possible, because then you drop the kids
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: off and then you still have some summer left for
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: your yourself, where the opposite situation is you're dropping the
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: kids off to school after Labor Day and it's already
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: getting dark out and you don't have as much free time.
• 50:10
  Speaker 7: See.
• 50:10
  Speaker 6: I'm a fan of starting earlier and ending earlier because
• 50:15
  Speaker 6: June feels like summer where you can be like, hey,
• 50:17
  Speaker 6: let's go do something the last week of June, whereas
• 50:21
  Speaker 6: nobody's like, hey, let's go do something the last week
• 50:23
  Speaker 6: of August. Last week of August, you're like, just get me,
• 50:25
  Speaker 6: just get me to the fall, just get me to
• 50:27
  Speaker 6: get me to football season.
• 50:28
  Speaker 7: The last week of August is a bridge to football season. Yeah,
• 50:32
  Speaker 7: he's right, yes, Yeah, So.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: You're saying you'd rather take time off go on vacation
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: early June than you would end of August.
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: And I agree with you.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, but you're going on vacation with your kids
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: early June, and I guess you can't in late August
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: because your if your kids are back at school, you
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: have to stay home.
• 50:49
  Speaker 7: Right, sure, disaster. Why are we doing school in August though?
• 50:53
  Speaker 5: I mean just weird to me.
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: We should stand for September.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: Yes, put it on the polls to the essence, school
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: stand for September. Ryan Day, the head coach of the
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: Ohio State Buck Guys, will join us next.
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Gotson Company
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: Live weekdays at three pm Eastern twelve pm Pacific.
• 51:24
  Speaker 7: Our thanks to Ryan Day for joining us last segment.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: I have spent the entire entire commercial break thinking about
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: people in sports who cannote a time of the day,
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: and it's weird. All I've come up with so far
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: is Bobby Knight and Dawn Staley.
• 51:41
  Speaker 7: I mean, that's it. That's all I got. How about that?
• 51:44
  Speaker 7: I was, Sam, you have one back at Sherman oakcause
• 51:45
  Speaker 7: I'm told you have one.
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: He's not on the show today, but I think he
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: sent over Alonso morning.
• 51:50
  Speaker 7: Oh really? Also, how the hell.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: You could have just said he's not here? But I
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: have one Alonzo morning is a very good one.
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: Higgins. Yes, go ahead.
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: It's a bit of a it's a nickname. So I
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: don't know if it counts. But a night train lane does. Cannot,
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: you know, taking a train at a certain time of day.
• 52:11
  Speaker 7: Yes, I like t Higgins for tea time. I do.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: But that's it. I have a weird mind. Let's get
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: to Taylor. Taylor has a worst game in all of sports?
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: What is this?
• 52:24
  Speaker 7: Taylor? Is this the worst game to attend? The worst
• 52:26
  Speaker 7: game you've ever seen? What is it?
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: It's a nominee for the worst game to go to
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: in off sports. So say you get a ticket to
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: a game, what is the worst possible outcome of a
• 52:36
  Speaker 4: certain game that you could potentially go to?
• 52:39
  Speaker 5: Okay, got it?
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: So last week we were off radio. I go back
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: to New York. I go to the Yankee game Tuesday.
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: And I go to the Yankee game Thursday. Tuesday. Fantastic game.
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: The Yankees are down one nothing, they have a comeback late,
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: they win it. I believe it was three to one
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: they won that game. I go Thursday. It was a
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: one thirty start game. And the Thursday game was where
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: I thought of it because it was the worst game
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: I've ever attended, the worst possible scenario of a game
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: you could ever go to, a one nothing baseball loss.
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's a pictures duel right there.
• 53:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but you win to loss.
• 53:13
  Speaker 5: I know, I understand.
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: When your team loses one nothing in a baseball game. Yes,
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: first part of it the loss. Obviously, going to a
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: game where your team loses that stinks. One nothing loss,
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: though you have to stay for the entire game because
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: in the back of your mind you're like, they could win.
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: You're only down one run, Yes, but you still lose.
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: You didn't see any offense, and it's just a disaster
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: of a game.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: Would you, guys be okay if you went to a game,
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: a Yankee game, let's say, and the opposing pitture you
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: lost the game, but the opposing pitcher had a perfect game,
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: would you be happy or upset?
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: I'd be happy I got to see something.
• 53:55
  Speaker 7: You got to see a perfect game?
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: Yayh terror, Mikey, how is it a terrible question?
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: You get to see history. It's not a terrible question.
• 54:03
  Speaker 4: It was a terrible answer from Mikey. Mikey, open your
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: wallet right now and give me over your Yankee fan card.
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: If you want to go to a game where somebody
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: throws a perfect game against your team, I would.
• 54:15
  Speaker 7: No, I'm with Mikey. I wonder seeing history.
• 54:18
  Speaker 6: I would rather have gone to see a perfect game
• 54:20
  Speaker 6: thrown against the Yankees than a one nothing loss where
• 54:23
  Speaker 6: they had two hits, two meaningless singles somewhere in the game.
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: Then all I did was waste my time for nothing.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: That's an easy one. But Taylor, the Yankees are nine
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: games up in the Al East. Okay, let's just imagine
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: that you go to the game, they lose two to nothing.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: You're in the game the entire time the opposing pitcher
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: throws a perfect game. You're okay with that?
• 54:41
  Speaker 4: No, No, I don't want to be on the wrong
• 54:44
  Speaker 4: side of history. You're That's exactly what it is. I
• 54:47
  Speaker 4: don't want.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: You've spent plenty of time on the right side of history.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: It's okay for one day to witness a perfect game
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: an opposed because the entire no one has spent more
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: time on the right side of history then your.
• 54:59
  Speaker 4: Bas Okay, don't get me started on that. Because the
• 55:04
  Speaker 4: Yankee fans that hold up twenty seven rings all the time,
• 55:08
  Speaker 4: I cannot stand those people because it's like, Okay, we
• 55:11
  Speaker 4: were winning in the twenties with the Murderers, row like
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: we haven't won a World Series since two thousand and nine. Still,
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: I don't want to be on the on the wrong
• 55:18
  Speaker 4: side of history. I don't want to look in the
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: record books later on and every time I see, you know,
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: say it's say it's Garrett Crochet throws a perfect game
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: for the Red Sox against the Yankees. I don't want to.
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: Have whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa.
• 55:29
  Speaker 6: Nobody said it was the Red Sox. Let's just let's
• 55:33
  Speaker 6: just get that out of the word I did. Nobody
• 55:35
  Speaker 6: said Red Sox.
• 55:35
  Speaker 7: I didn't specify a team that is fair.
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: I don't even think it.
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: Matters a team or the place. It does matter.
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: If the Marlins come to town and Yuri Perez has
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: a perfect game and Clayton mcclobe, their manager, doesn't make
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: the boneheaded decision to take him out of a perfect
• 55:49
  Speaker 4: game after seven innings, I still don't want to be
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: on that. I'll, i'll, I'll concede to this. Riccardo weighs
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: in as our baseball expert. If Ricardo says he would
• 56:00
  Speaker 4: want to go to a perfect game against his team,
• 56:02
  Speaker 4: or if he says he wouldn't want to go, and
• 56:04
  Speaker 4: then that's the final answer.
• 56:05
  Speaker 7: Okay, so you're making him the okay.
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: The judge and the jur Okay, why does he get it?
• 56:12
  Speaker 4: He's baseball?
• 56:12
  Speaker 5: You're right, he is baseball.
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: You know what. I can't even argue this. Yes, go ahead, Ricardo.
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: Put it on the pole tailor is Ricardo baseball? And
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: also put this on the poll. When you think baseball?
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: Do you think Ricardo?
• 56:23
  Speaker 4: Me and Ricardo were talking earlier and he said his
• 56:24
  Speaker 4: middle name is actually baseball.
• 56:26
  Speaker 7: Really that's special. All right, Ricardo baseball?
• 56:32
  Speaker 5: Go ahead? All right.
• 56:33
  Speaker 11: So there's been twenty four perfect games in the history
• 56:36
  Speaker 11: of baseball accounted for.
• 56:38
  Speaker 7: Yes, but Taylor is correct.
• 56:40
  Speaker 11: You cannot go to a game and want to see
• 56:44
  Speaker 11: a perfect game pitch against you. And there are plenty
• 56:46
  Speaker 11: of Marlins fans which are who.
• 56:49
  Speaker 7: Said, want well, time out. So hold on.
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: I want to hear Ricardo out on this, because there
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: were Marlin fans who were in attendance when Roy Halliday
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: pitched a perfect game. The Marlins went I to sell
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: that ball because they're great. Samson was running it at
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: the time, there were Marlins fans.
• 57:02
  Speaker 11: Who weren't in attendance, who were trying to get tickets
• 57:05
  Speaker 11: from that game the day after that. It's pathetic, and
• 57:11
  Speaker 11: Taylor's right. You don't want to look at a history
• 57:12
  Speaker 11: book and then you see it. Oh, you know whomever
• 57:15
  Speaker 11: Garrett Crochet through a perfect game against the New York
• 57:19
  Speaker 11: Yankees on this day and you were there. No, man,
• 57:21
  Speaker 11: that's say that hurts.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: So you're going to a Marlins game and you're driving
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: down there, and there's a low bar.
• 57:27
  Speaker 5: You're asking yourself why.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: As you sit in traffic, but there's a very low
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: bar they have set in terms of the entertainment value
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: when you go to a Marlins game. And so you're
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: telling me, if you do happen to attend a Marlins game,
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: make the trip to the stadium, and you get to
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: see a perfect game against your team, is that not
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: a good thing?
• 57:48
  Speaker 7: You are witnessing history. I mean seriously.
• 57:51
  Speaker 11: But also I'll be witnessing history if it's twenty six
• 57:55
  Speaker 11: outs and we get a base hit and ruin the
• 57:56
  Speaker 11: perfect game for the pitcher, which I would be more
• 57:58
  Speaker 11: happy about it.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: That's not history, no, But I mean seeing a Marlin
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: seeing a Marlins win to get them back to fifteen
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: out in the NL East, as opposed to seeing a
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: guy throw a perfect game.
• 58:12
  Speaker 7: I choose the perfect game. I mean, I don't care.
• 58:16
  Speaker 11: Stu Gotts, I understand exactly what you're saying. But you're
• 58:20
  Speaker 11: the judge, You're baseball. You're rooting for your team, your club,
• 58:23
  Speaker 11: this is you, this is your hometown team. Man, you
• 58:26
  Speaker 11: can't want a perfect game twenty seven up, twenty seven down.
• 58:29
  Speaker 7: That's embarrassing.
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: I will root for my team through seven innings regardless,
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: until there's twenty one up and twenty one down.
• 58:34
  Speaker 7: Then I'm starting to root for a perfect game.
• 58:36
  Speaker 5: How about that?
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: A two hit shutout is embarrassing too.
• 58:39
  Speaker 6: Just so we're clear, like the fact that they got
• 58:41
  Speaker 6: twenty seven up twenty seven down is not that much
• 58:44
  Speaker 6: different than watching my team have a two hitter.
• 58:48
  Speaker 11: No one touched first base Mikey Taylor.
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: Taylor is upset.
• 58:55
  Speaker 4: I'm disgusting. I'm quite anybody who wants to see a
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: perfect game pitched against their team, I'm qushing sever Once
• 59:03
  Speaker 4: ste was saying he would want to see a perfect game.
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not saying would you want it like I
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: would rather see a perfect game than see what you saw.
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: Well, that's obvious, right, But I'm just saying in general,
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: if I dropped down, I don't care if it's against
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: me or for me. I'd prefer to be for me.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: But if I see a perfect game, I see a
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: perfect game. There's been twenty something in the history of
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball.
• 59:25
  Speaker 7: I saw one of them.
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, I have another nominee for the worst game
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: you could go to in all of sports. Yeah, the
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: zero zero soccer draw the worst.
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, isn't that all of them?
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: How about a six or three football game?
• 59:42
  Speaker 4: That would be terrible too.
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: Would you take a six to three win or a
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: thirty seven for the Jets six' three win where they
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: lose thirty seven thirty, four but you're.
• 59:51
  Speaker 5: Entertained i'd rather be entertained with that.
• 59:55
  Speaker 6: Team i've been waiting for a decade almost for them to.
• 59:59
  Speaker 6: Enter they haven't entertained me Since Ryan.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 7: Fitzpatrick you would walk out.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: Whistling, yeah that's a good. Loss entertaining game and a good. Loss,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: Ah i'm with, You, Yeah, Taylor, Taylor, yeah go.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 6: Ahead is it more likely The yankees pitch a perfect
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 6: game this season or get pitched a perfect game against.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 4: Them oh, wow that's actually a good.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: Question it's a great question for this.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 4: TEAM i think it's more likely that they get a
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 4: perfect game pitched against. Them their their offenses.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 5: Lifeless, yeah but they have great. PITCHING i mean, yeah
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 5: that's why it was a great.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 7: Question we'll talk to you guys.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 5: Tomorrow
