3:27

3:32
Speaker 3: hot stuff in the first couple of days. Now it's
3:34
Speaker 3: going to be windy and cold, and then jet right
3:37
Speaker 3: back up there. That's where our friend Janny and Appleton
3:39
Speaker 3: fired up on hot take. Humpty drew right out of
3:41
Speaker 3: the gates. It's the hot take. Mother Nature is the
3:44
Speaker 3: biggest April Fools joke winter weather advisory for snow, freezing
3:49
Speaker 3: rain and ice up in out of Gamey, County's second
3:52
Speaker 3: biggest c B buckner. The guy is an absolute joke.
3:56
Speaker 3: So hey, listen, it is. It is a tough one
3:58
Speaker 3: here today, cruel joke Mother Nature. Here on this neck,
4:01
Speaker 3: get out and stay hot, get hot.
4:04
Speaker 1: I like that eight seven seven three Hot Take the
4:08
Speaker 1: Bucks won a game last night, Brewers one and the
4:09
Speaker 1: Bucks one, which is rare this this year and recent vintage.
4:13
Speaker 1: It's very much so. Yeah, it used to be a
4:15
Speaker 1: regular thing, but now it's it's become more rare. But
4:18
Speaker 1: the Bucks winning a game, hot take. The Bucks won
4:21
Speaker 1: that game in honor of the leak that Doc Rivers
4:25
Speaker 1: is headed to the Naysmith Basketball Hall of Fame, where
4:28
Speaker 1: he will be joined by Amari Stodemeyer, Kandas Parker and
4:31
Speaker 1: Elena Della Donna. According to a leak Sham's had it
4:35
Speaker 1: so yeah, probably pretty good one now and.
4:37
Speaker 4: This is a better leak than the Brewers City Connects
4:40
Speaker 4: uniform leak that may or may not be true. Is
4:43
Speaker 4: it a bit better of a leak, the stronger of veracity.
4:46
Speaker 1: Strong more voracity. But Doc going in the Hall of
4:49
Speaker 1: Fame deserved whole question. But I still don't think he
4:52
Speaker 1: should coach the Bucks beyond this season.
4:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, a tough one to uh, this to be
4:57
Speaker 3: the way you go out on your fame coaching career.
4:59
Speaker 3: He could, He's won so many games, He's had some
5:02
Speaker 3: really really good teams. I saw a lot of people
5:04
Speaker 3: joking around, like the most famous thing for Doc Rivers
5:06
Speaker 3: is uh having the most teams wanting him fired, most
5:09
Speaker 3: fan bases bank calling for his job. But you don't
5:13
Speaker 3: get that many opportunities and be that close if you
5:16
Speaker 3: don't know what you're doing.
5:17
Speaker 1: The team obviously falls short this year.
5:19
Speaker 3: Now, let's get him to celebrate and enjoy retirement and
5:23
Speaker 3: Uh continue to play golf because it does seem like
5:26
Speaker 3: Doc really really likes playing golf, and people say that
5:28
Speaker 3: he's a lot of fun to play golf with at
5:30
Speaker 3: La Country Club. So just go and enjoy it, brother,
5:32
Speaker 3: go and enjoy the Hall of fame, Go and enjoy this.
5:35
Speaker 3: And if they ask you to do any kind of
5:37
Speaker 3: advisory role.
5:39
Speaker 1: Just say no.
5:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's just say no.
5:44
Speaker 1: They'll do something else. We want your hot takes. Let's
5:46
Speaker 1: have him the hotter the better. Let's fire up that
5:48
Speaker 1: oven or bothered there you go for Jake Jarmelt's throw
5:58
Speaker 1: that at Armin. Uh so hot take. I love a
6:03
Speaker 1: good sports nontroversy, mm hmm. And you people, it's it's
6:07
Speaker 1: like buyer beware. Our friend Albaldoz have always said, like
6:10
Speaker 1: social media and especially X is a loaded oozy next
6:14
Speaker 1: to the night stand. And yes, spray around indiscriminately. You
6:16
Speaker 1: can hurt yourself for others, especially yourself. Yeah, but the
6:20
Speaker 1: controversy of the week to me, the Danny Hurley head
6:24
Speaker 1: butt nontroversy or is the controversy because yeah, oh my god,
6:29
Speaker 1: anybody else, oh Gottlie would have been ejected for gotten
6:32
Speaker 1: a technical like he head butted the referee, got in
6:34
Speaker 1: the referee's face what a douche is like and the
6:37
Speaker 1: ref's like, now, it.
6:37
Speaker 4: Was nothing because our our following. Uh, I don't know
6:41
Speaker 4: the right term I'm looking for, but Dan Patrick follows us.
6:43
Speaker 4: Obviously he was obsessed with it for the first hour
6:46
Speaker 4: I was listening. Obviously it was just obsessed with nothing.
6:49
Speaker 3: Well, and I struggle too, Like you hit it there
6:52
Speaker 3: when the ref comes out and says it was nothing.
6:55
Speaker 3: You also see the position that Hurley's in. My man's
6:58
Speaker 3: jacket is like half all off of his arm. He's
7:01
Speaker 3: not really in a position where he's thinking very coherently
7:04
Speaker 3: mad at the ref in that moment, No, I think,
7:07
Speaker 3: what are you trying to say to me right now
7:09
Speaker 3: that there's an understanding was.
7:11
Speaker 1: And the ref kind of initiated and walked towards him,
7:13
Speaker 1: So it was like he had better than No he
7:15
Speaker 1: did not, and the ref's like, no, he's it's not
7:18
Speaker 1: like who knows what they said, But it was a
7:20
Speaker 1: moment that when you looked at it, it wasn't what
7:23
Speaker 1: you thought it was.
7:23
Speaker 4: No, it's not a head butt. It was like a
7:25
Speaker 4: head contact. They weren't budding at all.
7:27
Speaker 1: But even then they weren't Like it wasn't like Earl
7:28
Speaker 1: Weaver yelling at sure, but it was Shylocker ken Kaiser. Yeah, okay,
7:33
Speaker 1: but it was very unusual. I think that. I think
7:35
Speaker 1: what it is is people are just trying to figure
7:36
Speaker 1: out why would they touch for him?
7:38
Speaker 4: Dan Hurley acts the way he does, like he's such
7:40
Speaker 4: a bizarre human being. Well, but I don't think it's anything. Yeah,
7:44
Speaker 4: like he should have been in trouble or was an agreement.
7:47
Speaker 3: Just to me, is like the eighteenth weirdest thing Dan
7:50
Speaker 3: Hurley is not. That's a great great Like is that fair?
7:53
Speaker 3: Like he is he's so wild on the sidelines. I'm
7:55
Speaker 3: not necessarily stun I think it's funnier to see because
7:59
Speaker 3: you hear play say like blackout, like I got so
8:02
Speaker 3: excited I round in second base, I'm blacked out. I
8:04
Speaker 3: don't even know what happened there on that walk off
8:06
Speaker 3: home run or Mullins sits the shot.
8:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of blacked out. I don't really know
8:10
Speaker 1: what happened.
8:10
Speaker 3: It's weird to see head coach in that elation mode
8:14
Speaker 3: at that moment because I think that's exactly where he
8:16
Speaker 3: well and then really quick drew.
8:17
Speaker 4: His explanation was that I think in the moment he said,
8:21
Speaker 4: I think in the moment, I thought he was gonna
8:23
Speaker 4: come in and chest bump me.
8:24
Speaker 1: So it's the.
8:25
Speaker 4: Ego of the hubris of Dan Hurley on display, thinking
8:29
Speaker 4: that a professional umpire, well you know, a professional college umpire,
8:33
Speaker 4: would be sitting there looking to celebrate with him on
8:35
Speaker 4: his team winning. He really thinks, I mean, he's got
8:38
Speaker 4: that just proves he has true man characters into it.
8:40
Speaker 4: He really thinks the world revolves around him that much
8:43
Speaker 4: like Dan Hurley thinks like his team more.
8:45
Speaker 1: Pade him fifty thousand to give him a good whistle. Well, okay, okay,
8:49
Speaker 1: we're doing that. We're doing Oh boy, here's oh boy,
8:53
Speaker 1: here's the thing that the referee was, As Hurley said,
8:57
Speaker 1: the referee was coming up to inform him that there
8:59
Speaker 1: was more time. I'm on the clock, there was more time, Yes,
9:01
Speaker 1: almost normal thing and now and then he did say, uh,
9:05
Speaker 1: I thought I was coming over to chess bump me.
9:07
Speaker 1: And that was a flippant He wasn't getting okay, but
9:10
Speaker 1: you just don't know what get your point. But that's
9:12
Speaker 1: just it. That was a joke. And then he said,
9:13
Speaker 1: it's not like that for me with him. My experience
9:15
Speaker 1: with him has been we haven't won every game. I
9:17
Speaker 1: haven't agreed with every call. So that was in no
9:19
Speaker 1: way of me going out a ref like I've been
9:20
Speaker 1: at their throat the whole game. There were other points
9:23
Speaker 1: in the game where I had my arm around him
9:24
Speaker 1: walking out of a time out. We were cracking jokes
9:26
Speaker 1: and laughing. Oh yeah, that's true. Yeah, Hurley did. Like
9:30
Speaker 1: he's talked about the Marquette, his exit from the Marquette
9:32
Speaker 1: game and stuff. He's like he earned that one, earned
9:35
Speaker 1: on that one. But this was a controversy in the ref,
9:38
Speaker 1: Like in the the ref came right up to say
9:40
Speaker 1: coach got you know, zero point four left or whatever
9:42
Speaker 1: it was, and it but but people who yes, he's
9:46
Speaker 1: a psychopath, but this was not an incident where anything
9:50
Speaker 1: what you think you saw was not what happened was
9:53
Speaker 1: not the thing.
9:53
Speaker 3: Now, if you're gonna, if you're gonna freak out, uh,
9:56
Speaker 3: in retrospect to one of the things either not being
9:59
Speaker 3: called like if you if you're if you're duke radio
10:02
Speaker 3: right now and we have to go through the sour
10:03
Speaker 3: grapes call the dude running off the bench is the
10:07
Speaker 3: one to me where I'm like, that actually should probably
10:10
Speaker 3: earn you the technical if they're going to call something
10:13
Speaker 3: like that at that moment. The hurly piece, though, too,
10:16
Speaker 3: to be able to go head to head with the
10:18
Speaker 3: official and say that's my guy that you guys just
10:23
Speaker 3: don't understand how cool tight we are.
10:25
Speaker 1: You guys just don't get it. That's kind of our thing.
10:27
Speaker 1: He likes me. Okay, I'm able to do that. You
10:29
Speaker 1: definitely can't. Tom Izzo Hot take Humpday, another hot take
10:33
Speaker 1: for you. Though, I generally feel that the NFL getting
10:39
Speaker 1: deeper into a relationship with ESPN is not going to
10:41
Speaker 1: be good for everybody and everything regarding our favorite professional sport,
10:46
Speaker 1: professional tackle football, there's been one good offshoot of it. Oh,
10:51
Speaker 1: I'm excited for this. Uh. We won't have conflicting double
10:56
Speaker 1: headers on Monday night football anymore.
10:58
Speaker 3: Okay, God, somebody listens.
11:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've decided to get rid of that because they
11:04
Speaker 1: didn't want fans to have to choose, and you know,
11:07
Speaker 1: they didn't want to split the eyeballs, thank you property
11:11
Speaker 1: that's on ESPN. So no more Monday Night two games
11:14
Speaker 1: at the same time, which was asinine to begin.
11:17
Speaker 3: With, right because the thought of all, well, if one
11:19
Speaker 3: game is not good, then you can flip over to
11:21
Speaker 3: the other game. Well, guess what, you're putting primetime games together.
11:24
Speaker 3: Just put better games on primetime and the likelihood of
11:27
Speaker 3: one being a stinker is pretty low. They also slide
11:30
Speaker 3: in there like, hey, we're gonna change these primetime ones
11:34
Speaker 3: more importantly because we want more primetime individual windows.
11:37
Speaker 1: So I do like that.
11:38
Speaker 3: They said it, Hey, we're not gonna put We're gonna
11:41
Speaker 3: give you what you want. Yeah, you guys don't want
11:43
Speaker 3: the six thirty start into the seven fifteen. We're gonna
11:46
Speaker 3: give you something that also Armin doesn't think he wants.
11:49
Speaker 3: But you don't know yet that you actually do want.
11:52
Speaker 3: December Wednesday. Yeah, we're gonna hold this one.
11:57
Speaker 1: Because we're gonna load this up.
11:58
Speaker 3: Actually on a Wednesday, we're gonna load went up more
12:00
Speaker 3: on a Friday, so they're just stockpiling so then we
12:04
Speaker 3: can unleash more individual NFL bullets, which I'm always gonna be.
12:07
Speaker 1: A fail on that. And one of those games apparently
12:10
Speaker 1: there are still five games that they haven't like assigned
12:12
Speaker 1: in terms of like the schedule and the streaming entity
12:16
Speaker 1: or wherever it's going to be. And one of those
12:19
Speaker 1: games that they doubled up is going to end up
12:22
Speaker 1: on Whiskey Wednesday, Blackout Wednesday, Yeah, Wednesday before Thanksavy. They
12:25
Speaker 1: are going to move a game there, so you might
12:27
Speaker 1: as well. I don't know, it's not gonna be the
12:28
Speaker 1: Packers probably, but they're going to play a game on
12:31
Speaker 1: Wednesday before and now that if they have five that
12:33
Speaker 1: are assigned. The other thing is hot take how about
12:35
Speaker 1: at policy coming out and lobbying to avoid going to
12:38
Speaker 1: Ford Field and play the Lions in Munich, which we
12:41
Speaker 1: thought was gonna happen anyway, because that was the rumor
12:43
Speaker 1: last year was well, the Packers aren't going to double
12:45
Speaker 1: in the face Aaron Rodgers, but they're gonna go to
12:47
Speaker 1: Munich next year, that seems like, and that we know
12:49
Speaker 1: it's the Lions, that's a pretty attractive game. You'd rather
12:52
Speaker 1: play the Lions in Munich than at Ford Field, wouldn't you?
12:55
Speaker 3: But significantly, And it would also most likely take you
12:57
Speaker 3: off of Thanksgiving for those that don't like the Packers
12:59
Speaker 3: playing Holidays. But it also like the one they go
13:03
Speaker 3: and play the Saints in Paris, Like, no, no, Paris,
13:06
Speaker 3: you don't get the Packers first game, you guys get
13:09
Speaker 3: Welcome to the NFL. Here's Carolina. Let's give them the
13:15
Speaker 3: Giants Panthers treatment like we gave Doublin a couple of
13:18
Speaker 3: years ago. When they get introduced. Melbourne's already getting it
13:21
Speaker 3: way too good that they get rams and forty nine ers.
13:23
Speaker 3: And this was the other one yesterday out of the
13:25
Speaker 3: owners meeting, when I don't know if you guys saw
13:27
Speaker 3: Kyle Shanahan and Matt Lafleur little matchie matchie interesting they
13:33
Speaker 3: were both wearing like a green suit and they did
13:36
Speaker 3: a pairing interview with Mike Florio and Chris sims Uh
13:39
Speaker 3: for PFT Live and Kyle Shannan's leaning back looking super
13:44
Speaker 3: cool and he's like, yeah, I know they told them
13:47
Speaker 3: that they wanted to play us, so watch I'm gonna
13:51
Speaker 3: do the exact same thing.
13:51
Speaker 1: When they play in Mexico. Does it give us any
13:53
Speaker 1: competitive advantage? Not at all?
13:55
Speaker 3: Why because I know that they said that they wanted
13:58
Speaker 3: us to go and have to play in Australia, and
14:00
Speaker 3: I'm pissed about it, so they should have to go
14:01
Speaker 3: out of the country twice.
14:03
Speaker 1: There is just a tick for tack deal that I love.
14:06
Speaker 3: The just getting the more and more angry NFL coaches
14:11
Speaker 3: in a little bit of a relaxed environment there at
14:13
Speaker 3: that owners meeting in a.
14:14
Speaker 1: It's gonna happen sooner or later when they go to
14:16
Speaker 1: eighteen games. Every team will have an international game every year,
14:21
Speaker 1: and we're going to probably play more Wednesdays. The enemy
14:23
Speaker 1: is slowly advancing. And then with the eighteen one of
14:28
Speaker 1: the gift backs is going to be uh the two
14:30
Speaker 1: preseason games, we'll go from three to two. Yeah, to
14:33
Speaker 1: more of those controlled practices.
14:35
Speaker 4: Remember, if you're a fan, like in what you want
14:37
Speaker 4: doesn't matter, but it's like.
14:39
Speaker 1: Then you got to remember it's like in the dark
14:41
Speaker 1: ages of the NFL, back in the day when players
14:43
Speaker 1: drove beer trucks in the offseason and they need to
14:45
Speaker 1: get in shape at training camp. They played six preseason
14:48
Speaker 1: games and they did that's true.
14:50
Speaker 4: Way you can with the preseason games you no, I
14:52
Speaker 4: meant the overseas thing, the preseason correct that part. Fans
14:57
Speaker 4: don't want more preseasons. So in that sense, that's good,
15:00
Speaker 4: you know, to have less price.
15:01
Speaker 3: But now I understand this of you saying fans don't
15:05
Speaker 3: want it. Yeah, American fans don't want it.
15:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
15:08
Speaker 3: International fans of the people that are still there trying
15:11
Speaker 3: to find they definitely want to go see more international games.
15:14
Speaker 1: Most of the NFL's made up of American fans still.
15:16
Speaker 3: For now, and that's exactly what they're still trying to
15:18
Speaker 3: shift up a little bit.
15:19
Speaker 1: The average Packer game, of the millions of people watching
15:22
Speaker 1: when they play at LAMBA, only eighty thousand are in
15:24
Speaker 1: the building. Right, So it's like for most people, what's
15:27
Speaker 1: the difference.
15:28
Speaker 3: Still gonna be on TV, it's still gonna be on
15:30
Speaker 3: your American But there's some American fans that doesn't.
15:34
Speaker 4: They don't like the way. I'm not I'm not agreeing
15:36
Speaker 4: with it. I'm just telling you this is what they say.
15:38
Speaker 4: They don't light the way it makes them feel. They
15:39
Speaker 4: feel it's their game, not anyone else's, and we should
15:41
Speaker 4: be focused on American fans because that's what the fan
15:44
Speaker 4: base is.
15:44
Speaker 1: I'm not even saying that's right. I'm anybody who spouses that. Oh,
15:48
Speaker 1: we have people call up all the time.
15:49
Speaker 4: You say, people call up all the time and say
15:50
Speaker 4: they don't want any other fans.
15:52
Speaker 3: I remember we had one guy call in and he's like,
15:54
Speaker 3: I think I think these international games are ridiculous.
15:57
Speaker 1: This is an American football game and they shouldn't be
15:59
Speaker 1: able to get Mike.
16:00
Speaker 3: Well, that's that's idiotic when you look at the health
16:03
Speaker 3: of the league in what they're ultimately trying to do,
16:06
Speaker 3: which again, and this is this goes to another part
16:08
Speaker 3: of the backdrop here where the NFL is also still
16:12
Speaker 3: as much as they're trying to grab dollars and cents
16:14
Speaker 3: from different individuals Drew, they're still trying to grow more eight, nine,
16:19
Speaker 3: ten year olds that grow up internationally and say, you
16:22
Speaker 3: know who I want to be.
16:23
Speaker 1: I don't want to be in Bape. I want to
16:25
Speaker 1: be Jordan Malayava.
16:26
Speaker 3: I want to be the left tackle for the Philadelphia
16:30
Speaker 3: Eagles after I play Australian rules football, right, I want
16:33
Speaker 3: to go and be Daniel Whalen after my soccer career
16:36
Speaker 3: ends and go play in American football. That's the part
16:39
Speaker 3: is they want to be able to grab the best
16:40
Speaker 3: players and athletes from all around.
16:42
Speaker 1: It's going to be interesting culturally. And arman, I don't
16:45
Speaker 1: hear that. Seems like a private minority of people that
16:47
Speaker 1: would say because most people I'm watching the game wherever
16:49
Speaker 1: it is, I don't really care, right, I agree with you,
16:52
Speaker 1: we know you're hanging with But based on what we saw,
16:55
Speaker 1: you know that makes sense. Based on what we saw
16:57
Speaker 1: a couple of months ago, when people like some people
16:59
Speaker 1: melt down over bad money playing halftime, how are people
17:02
Speaker 1: going to like people who never in their wildest dreams
17:05
Speaker 1: could even imagine going to a super Bowl. When a
17:08
Speaker 1: Super Bowl goes Internet, they won't like it. They will
17:11
Speaker 1: people will be mad, But like, why would you care
17:14
Speaker 1: because it's for corporate fat cats? And I know people
17:17
Speaker 1: are paying five grand to get into a game anyway
17:19
Speaker 1: because they feel it's an American game.
17:21
Speaker 4: That should tell it. Just I'm just telling you how
17:23
Speaker 4: people are going to react. I'm not saying I agree
17:25
Speaker 4: with it necessarily, but the reality is a lot of
17:27
Speaker 4: people won't like it.
17:29
Speaker 3: To me, the Super Bowl one drew. The only difference
17:31
Speaker 3: for that is competitively. I don't like the you have
17:35
Speaker 3: to travel nine to ten hours for the biggest game, right,
17:38
Speaker 3: but I mean it's not like you don't have two
17:39
Speaker 3: weeks to travel. Well, and let's be honest, the New
17:43
Speaker 3: England went to San Francisco, that's a five hour flight.
17:45
Speaker 1: It probably would have been in London. And how onerous
17:49
Speaker 1: is that going to be when every team makes a
17:51
Speaker 1: trip every year? Yeah, well, and then it's going to
17:54
Speaker 1: be a new thing. Media starts with.
17:56
Speaker 3: Me the lack of amount of American coverage that would
17:59
Speaker 3: go all in actually say we're going to spend here
18:02
Speaker 3: for the budget.
18:04
Speaker 1: What has been's their most successful market? And where would
18:07
Speaker 1: the best like weather facility, atmosphere be. What would be
18:11
Speaker 1: if there was an international super Bowl? What would be
18:13
Speaker 1: the first market?
18:14
Speaker 3: The first one will be London, right, I'm part of
18:16
Speaker 3: the longest history of Yeah, I think the first one
18:19
Speaker 3: will end up being London. I think just and again
18:21
Speaker 3: like for not even that part, Drew, I think the
18:24
Speaker 3: dumb one would be to kind of try to say
18:26
Speaker 3: that they would middle it in a gambling term of like, yeah,
18:29
Speaker 3: it's not as much of a difference in the time zone, right,
18:32
Speaker 3: It's not as far of a leap as going to
18:37
Speaker 3: Barcelona if that stadium would ultimately be the best one,
18:40
Speaker 3: and the thought of like we're still going to get
18:42
Speaker 3: a bunch of the American media. That to me is
18:44
Speaker 3: also like where the super Bowl goes to when it
18:47
Speaker 3: turns to that full global event. If they're able to
18:50
Speaker 3: the hot take that I got about the super Bowl
18:52
Speaker 3: is coming out here, get ready for eighteen games, not
18:54
Speaker 3: this upcoming season but next Oh yeah, because there's not
18:57
Speaker 3: a date set for the super Bowl the twenty seven
19:00
Speaker 3: to twenty eighth season. There's only one reason is because
19:03
Speaker 3: they want to push and get it to the eighteenth game.
19:07
Speaker 3: That's why they have to make sure that JC Tretder
19:09
Speaker 3: got brought in for the executive director of the NFLPA
19:12
Speaker 3: as quick as possible. Where their negotiations were their television
19:15
Speaker 3: rights out at the end of twenty twenty six. They
19:18
Speaker 3: will play eighteen regular season games in the twenty twenty
19:22
Speaker 3: seven regular season.
19:23
Speaker 1: I'm I'm with you that I just booked that's that's
19:26
Speaker 1: coming in Italy two preseason games because a gift back.
19:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, And there's so many different ways that you have
19:32
Speaker 3: to there's so many different things that you have to
19:35
Speaker 3: have dialed in to host the Super Bowl, like convention
19:39
Speaker 3: centers and hotel bookings throughout that.
19:41
Speaker 1: Like to know where that one's going to be. That's wild.
19:44
Speaker 1: They haven't picked that exact date.
19:45
Speaker 3: But the other one in the eighteenth game that I
19:47
Speaker 3: don't like, Drew, is the thing that was floated out
19:51
Speaker 3: of the quote unquote voluntary seventeen game plays.
19:55
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've heard this of.
19:56
Speaker 3: How they floated it out of You can only play
19:58
Speaker 3: in seventeen the eighteen games to someone, or you can
20:02
Speaker 3: voluntarily waive it in playing all eighteen.
20:06
Speaker 1: But yeah, that was Wasn't that for non quarterbacks or something?
20:09
Speaker 3: Yes, for anybody non quarterback you could, you'd have to
20:11
Speaker 3: play seventeen of the eighteen game.
20:13
Speaker 1: I don't like that to gimmicky, just my opinion. That's
20:16
Speaker 1: a little bit. It's kind of strategic. You might dig it.
20:18
Speaker 4: Well, there's some strategy involved, but there's enough strategy involved
20:21
Speaker 4: in actual football that I'm okay with.
20:22
Speaker 1: By the way, the average temperature in February in London
20:26
Speaker 1: they would be playing for us, it would be like
20:29
Speaker 1: an afternoon game, right, Yeah.
20:31
Speaker 3: They'd have to shift it a little bit earlier. Yeah,
20:33
Speaker 3: I just you know, a little earlier.
20:35
Speaker 1: Average temperature would be in the forties the most high
20:39
Speaker 1: high forties, well mid to high forties.
20:41
Speaker 4: The Yeah, I guess my last thing on that at
20:44
Speaker 4: this bowl player was the most famous league of the
20:46
Speaker 4: most popular sport in the world is the English Premier League.
20:49
Speaker 4: And they don't play any of those games anywhere else
20:51
Speaker 4: but England, and they have international players in the international
20:54
Speaker 4: world watching those games. So that'd just be my opinion there.
20:57
Speaker 4: That's the last thing I'll say on that. I just
20:59
Speaker 4: don't I don't think can you move out of America?
21:01
Speaker 1: All right? Forest about well, I know we were going
21:06
Speaker 1: out a new hot takes.
21:07
Speaker 3: They played soccer games in an American family see the soccer games.
21:10
Speaker 4: But they're not they're not playing the most important week
21:12
Speaker 4: of the EPL season, you know in Saint Louis.
21:15
Speaker 1: Sure they're playing at Old Trafford and all.
21:17
Speaker 4: These other places and field they're playing at the home
21:19
Speaker 4: stadiums of the English Premier League.
21:21
Speaker 3: Well, there's also a part of the player safety would
21:22
Speaker 3: say that that stadium would be healthier for them to
21:24
Speaker 3: play gand natural ground actually have grass.
21:27
Speaker 1: They put it in Atlanta. They just added there.
21:29
Speaker 3: I saw somebody says today, like they obviously don't care
21:32
Speaker 3: about player safety if they're doing this in the NFL's games, right.
21:35
Speaker 1: Clearly soccer, they definitely don't. They never have, that's right.
21:40
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven seven nine three. React to what we
21:43
Speaker 1: have to say. How about we'll give you that eighteenth
21:45
Speaker 1: game and then OTAs go away or mini camp goes away. Yeah,
21:50
Speaker 1: I don't know that it's going to be. I don't
21:51
Speaker 1: know that that's it. We'll have a rookie orientation, but veterans,
21:54
Speaker 1: you can get more of your summer back in exchange
21:56
Speaker 1: for that eighteenth game. Hot take. They're not taking anything away,
21:58
Speaker 1: they're just adding to it, you know. But you got
22:00
Speaker 1: to give the players something they need to win. They
22:02
Speaker 1: need to win, need a win, So that might be it.
22:04
Speaker 1: Like okay, o ohtas are optional in name only or
22:08
Speaker 1: organized team makes used to be people thought it was
22:10
Speaker 1: optional teams, organized team activities, it's babysitting. Yeah, oh, it's
22:14
Speaker 1: all voluntary. Well they will cut back on some of that. Yeah,
22:18
Speaker 1: add a week to training camp even though you're playing
22:20
Speaker 1: fewer exhibition games, but then get rid of the you know,
22:22
Speaker 1: the part is you actually more of their actual time off. Yeah,
22:25
Speaker 1: and you also have injuries.
22:26
Speaker 3: You also have to practice every day, right like, And
22:29
Speaker 3: as much as this is the weird give and take
22:31
Speaker 3: of it, Drew like, Hey, we'll take the games off,
22:33
Speaker 3: but you know what, we actually might need to have
22:35
Speaker 3: pads on a little bit more during practice to be
22:38
Speaker 3: able to withstand some of this, because what we don't
22:40
Speaker 3: like is what you actually need to be callous to
22:43
Speaker 3: be able to play in the games that we want
22:45
Speaker 3: to have happened, real give and take, all right.
22:48
Speaker 1: So we don't have Dolph one more day for halftime.
22:50
Speaker 4: However, we're gonna have plenty of hot takes coming in
22:52
Speaker 4: here on the comment section in the text line, so
22:54
Speaker 4: we'll have plenty of off here.
22:55
Speaker 1: All right. So yeah, we need an audience participation to
22:58

Speaker 1: different on a Wednesday. Yeah, it really does.
23:41
Speaker 3: And as we hit halftime of the week, we got
23:42
Speaker 3: to heat it up a little bit and bring a
23:45
Speaker 3: hot Jake Bowers into the equation.
23:47
Speaker 1: He's hot six two.
23:49
Speaker 3: Six thirty two slugging percentage is hot. Also sounds like
23:52
Speaker 3: the ladies think that he might be in that in
23:53
Speaker 3: that variety. From what I'm hearing about, Jake Bowers a little.
23:56
Speaker 1: Bit well hot. Take say, who's the new heart throb
23:59
Speaker 1: Jake or Ray Cake Powers, Cake Powers. I was gonna say,
24:03
Speaker 1: I like cakes a lot better than throw An. As
24:06
Speaker 1: I know, the ladies like them, some self free lick
24:08
Speaker 1: and they like them, you know.
24:10
Speaker 3: But Jake Bowers got a little on a suit, you
24:12
Speaker 3: got a little bit of flow rolling in there, the thicker,
24:14
Speaker 3: larger cat. I didn't think there's understanding that he's gonna
24:17
Speaker 3: be He's gonna be a little bit of a heart throbbing.
24:21
Speaker 1: Mitchell Hardy was the Alzheimer Well, Garrett Mitchell the current squad,
24:25
Speaker 1: it's like Garrett Mitchell, Freelick and apparently Jake the Rake
24:28
Speaker 1: Ja Yeah, and Cake Jake and Armand really loves you
24:31
Speaker 1: saying South Freelick in there because Drew, I don't know
24:33
Speaker 1: if you've heard, but Armand sorry and has heard from
24:36
Speaker 1: a lot of people, apparently a lot of people that
24:38
Speaker 1: he looks like South Freelick.
24:39
Speaker 4: So he likes to a lot of people, oh yeah,
24:42
Speaker 4: multiple times, you weren't we weren't doing the show yet.
24:45
Speaker 4: And the problem is, you know, and the problem is
24:49
Speaker 4: doesn't believe it. But the reality is, and this billy
24:51
Speaker 4: happens to never be around. When it happens, I'm stopped.
24:54
Speaker 4: I'm stopped all the time, and asked, are you South
24:56
Speaker 4: Freely's brother?
24:57
Speaker 1: Not a hat on? You need the flow more flows
25:00
Speaker 1: that it's the hair thing, so I have to have
25:02
Speaker 1: a hat on, and he has a hat on, And
25:05
Speaker 1: people have asked, me, Hey, is that your brother? Why
25:06
Speaker 1: don't you have better tickets and stuff like that? So,
25:08
Speaker 1: hey are the classes that I found broken on the floor.
25:11
Speaker 1: It started with Laura. She thinks that look like sale.
25:18
Speaker 1: That's what you go with off that hill.
25:21
Speaker 4: If you look at Salins and his girlfriend played at
25:23
Speaker 4: Boston College, I think also field lock your softball. Okay, sure,
25:27
Speaker 4: I said. And they were at some event and they
25:29
Speaker 4: were dressed up and it might have been yellow, just chaired.
25:32
Speaker 4: They were they were an event and I was like, looks,
25:34
Speaker 4: l we kind of looked like both of them. We're
25:36
Speaker 4: kind of like the Kirkland brand couple of Salin his girl.
25:39
Speaker 1: You know Kland. She's not gonna say she's not well
25:42
Speaker 1: maybe me, yeah, but she love it. But uh so,
25:45
Speaker 1: you know, there you go. She wasn't thrilled by that.
25:48
Speaker 1: She was okay with it.
25:49
Speaker 4: But I think it's more that, uh you know, she believes.
25:52
Speaker 4: See one of these times, Billy, when I'm stopped and
25:55
Speaker 4: asked myself his brother, you will be.
25:57
Speaker 1: You just got to pay the right people.
25:59
Speaker 3: You just gotta pay the right pace will tell you
26:00
Speaker 3: that you looked like that, just like you got to
26:02
Speaker 3: pay the right people for your HVAC usage. And Donovan Jorgenson,
26:06
Speaker 3: who's hot, who's not always going to bring the rights
26:08
Speaker 3: to you. Right now, they're offering a sixty month zero
26:11
Speaker 3: percent interest on qualifying ares Pro systems three locations, West Allis,
26:15
Speaker 3: New Berlin and mcguanago. What about Bryce Terrank just keeps
26:18
Speaker 3: the hit, keeps the hot streak rolling, keeps the hit
26:21
Speaker 3: parade rolling. And that is one of the stranger calls
26:24
Speaker 3: Drew that I may that I've ever seen of him
26:27
Speaker 3: into the rundown and then the ball get bounced out
26:30
Speaker 3: of his off his leg, out of the glove into
26:33
Speaker 3: the transfer. Some folks at the Potawatomi Sportsbook we're trying
26:37
Speaker 3: to ask Drew Olsen, the guy that knows all about
26:39
Speaker 3: the official scoring, like, hey, any way we could make
26:42
Speaker 3: that a double?
26:43
Speaker 1: Any way?
26:43
Speaker 3: Did they get stretched out into a double in over
26:45
Speaker 3: the one and a half total basis? But he just
26:48
Speaker 3: finds the barrel of the bat in the big moment
26:51
Speaker 3: and once again comes up with the bases juice, and
26:53
Speaker 3: there's nobody else you want up right now?
26:55
Speaker 1: That's about right now.
26:56
Speaker 4: That's the crazy thing. I mean you want to talk
26:58
Speaker 4: about taking out? Is that hot? If it wasn't for Otani,
27:01
Speaker 4: I think he has a chance at m v P
27:04
Speaker 4: this year. And that's a hot take because of Otani
27:06
Speaker 4: and the other characters in this League. But Bryce Terraang
27:09
Speaker 4: is having a great start. He's a good, really good player,
27:12
Speaker 4: looks poised. If he stays healthy to be that guy,
27:14
Speaker 4: I think he could have a crazy, crazy year and
27:17
Speaker 4: maybe an MVP year.
27:18
Speaker 1: I'm very top five, maybe.
27:21
Speaker 3: Becomes very hot because the right I just wish we
27:25
Speaker 3: could do like a like a second place offering like
27:29
Speaker 3: in uh in in golf events everybody but Sheeffler.
27:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, something like that. That's basically.
27:36
Speaker 4: Because he had six uh he pitched last night Otani
27:39
Speaker 4: six I think, one hit six and one hit ball.
27:42
Speaker 4: So just that was just crazy as well that he's
27:45
Speaker 4: starting to throw as well, so it's hard to beat him.
27:47
Speaker 3: The six innings, one hit, did walk three, So he's
27:50
Speaker 3: got to rain that in.
27:52
Speaker 1: Got to figure this out, dude, He's got to learn
27:54
Speaker 1: how to play baseball. But he is.
27:57
Speaker 3: Uh, he's just so hilarious to because it does feel
28:01
Speaker 3: like the best player you've ever seen times four, because
28:05
Speaker 3: you can do just about everything and anything that there
28:07
Speaker 3: is on a baseball field. Who's not variety. Well, the
28:09
Speaker 3: Cubs lost again last night. They're not two and three.
28:12
Speaker 3: We like to be able to throw that in. They're
28:13
Speaker 3: nows to nothing loss. Uh, to the Los Angeles Angels
28:17
Speaker 3: of Anaheim who play in Orange County.
28:19
Speaker 1: But uh, also who's not hot is the uh folks.
28:24
Speaker 3: That say baseball is completely broken on the best teams
28:27
Speaker 3: and the worst teams. As of April first, maybe the
28:31
Speaker 3: earliest we've ever been able to say this, every single
28:35
Speaker 3: team in Major League Baseball has a win.
28:36
Speaker 1: There are no defeated teams, no defeated team.
28:40
Speaker 3: As the Athletics won last night over the Braves. Tank
28:45
Speaker 3: is out of major League Baseball right now because everybody
28:48
Speaker 3: has won a game in the first five weeks.
28:49
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that. And everybody's won and
28:52
Speaker 1: everybody's lost.
28:52
Speaker 3: Everybody's won and everybody's lost is on a new level.
28:56
Speaker 1: First week. Yeah.
28:58
Speaker 4: But you know, as the Cubs loss, I was asking
29:00
Speaker 4: the question, are they in tank mode? You know this
29:02
Speaker 4: is a two and three. Maybe the Cubs are in
29:04
Speaker 4: tank mode. Bad time to be in Chicago spending that
29:06
Speaker 4: money and throwing them in there. You know, maybe they
29:07
Speaker 4: should spend less time focused on the Packers. At Cubs games,
29:11
Speaker 4: you get the kid with the Green Bay Sucks. You
29:13
Speaker 4: get the Green Bay Sucks. Chance, what a bunch of
29:15
Speaker 4: dorks they're going to Cubs games, and now all they
29:17
Speaker 4: can do is think about the Green Bay Packers. But
29:19
Speaker 4: that's Cubs. That's Chicago sports fans for you, right, guys.
29:23
Speaker 3: Just about one other for the not variety that I
29:27
Speaker 3: had drew here is Anthony Davis is sitting here saying,
29:30
Speaker 3: are you guys kidding? I really got to get brought
29:34
Speaker 3: up right now on April first. Now, this is not
29:36
Speaker 3: a joke here, Luka Doncics finished the month of March
29:39
Speaker 3: drew with six hundred points. Six hundred points in a month.
29:44
Speaker 3: It's pretty pretty good.
29:45
Speaker 1: Impressive.
29:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's officially more. That's officially more points in a month.
29:51
Speaker 3: Then Anthony Davis scored in his entire ten year with
29:55
Speaker 3: the Dallas That's.
29:58
Speaker 1: Bad, bad look for an ego, I mean, still there. Yikes,
30:01
Speaker 1: that's gonna last forever man.
30:02
Speaker 3: Six hundred to five eighty seven, and uh to put
30:06
Speaker 3: it in on hot Take hump Day. Many people thought
30:08
Speaker 3: it was the worst trade maybe an NBA history, and
30:11
Speaker 3: that continues to showcase.
30:13
Speaker 1: It's going to be. Luca's been so hot. Shout out
30:16
Speaker 1: again to Donovan Jorgeson, but Luca's been so hot that
30:19
Speaker 1: he's inched his way into a crowded MVP conversation. Yes, Luca,
30:24
Speaker 1: excuse me. J J Reddick has been saying it he
30:26
Speaker 1: should be the MVP. Of course, Well there's that then. Uh,
30:30
Speaker 1: some people are saying Jalen Brown. A lot of people
30:32
Speaker 1: saying Jayleen Brown. He carried them and they've been the
30:35
Speaker 1: biggest surprise, so they've got their narrative. I still think
30:37
Speaker 1: it's Sga until proven otherwise, because he's been fantastic the
30:42
Speaker 1: efficiency and this. Yeah, and he's the best player on
30:46
Speaker 1: the best team, and so it's a little bit easy
30:47
Speaker 1: that way again, putting in your mind that it is
30:50
Speaker 1: an individual award, not a team award. But Jokich is amazing,
30:53
Speaker 1: arguably like the best player going right now. But SGA
30:56
Speaker 1: might be the most valuable. But Wemby's in the discussion too,
30:59
Speaker 1: So it's actually pretty decent debate to be had about
31:02
Speaker 1: who will get it.
31:03
Speaker 3: For the first time in a long time, right like,
31:05
Speaker 3: because it felt like the numbers nerds would just hammer
31:08
Speaker 3: you over the head with you're an idiot if you
31:09
Speaker 3: don't think it's Jokic, right like, look at all of
31:11
Speaker 3: what he does, look at all the usage numbers are
31:14
Speaker 3: out of the out.
31:15
Speaker 1: Of this world.
31:16
Speaker 3: But all SGA does is walk into a game and
31:18
Speaker 3: score at least twenty five, right, and like he is
31:21
Speaker 3: the easiest walking bucket in the game, Drew, And when
31:24
Speaker 3: you look at guys that have done.
31:25
Speaker 1: It, he's not just like one of those volume guys as.
31:31
Speaker 3: He's had to do it this year. I mean they
31:33
Speaker 3: they missed j Dub for a good two months in total.
31:37
Speaker 3: Chat has been a little bit in and out of
31:38
Speaker 3: the lineup. He's dealt with his own injuries, and Lucas
31:41
Speaker 3: had a phenomenal year. And it's not a trust me,
31:45
Speaker 3: it's not a both sides of the ball award, right
31:48
Speaker 3: Like for when you talk about baseball MVP, it's gonna
31:52
Speaker 3: be damn near impossible for anybody to be able to
31:56
Speaker 3: truly match the value of Otani when you can be
32:00
Speaker 3: one of the best starters in baseball and one of
32:03
Speaker 3: the best hitters in the game. But the NBA MVP
32:06
Speaker 3: has never been Yeah, but Drew, he's so much better
32:10
Speaker 3: on defense, So that's gotta add it.
32:11
Speaker 1: It's an MVP. The MVP in the NBA is an
32:14
Speaker 1: offensive award.
32:15
Speaker 3: So I get the volume scoring of Luca is gonna
32:18
Speaker 3: be there, But I just the way that SGA is
32:21
Speaker 3: so casually consistently the best scorer on the floor. I
32:26
Speaker 3: can't give it to anybody else, but it'll be up
32:28
Speaker 3: for discussion because I thought I thought Giannis was going
32:31
Speaker 3: to absolutely be able to be in that run this year.
32:34
Speaker 3: He wasn't able to stay on the floor. And Sga
32:38
Speaker 3: has just continually done what people don't like, draws files,
32:43
Speaker 3: makes mid range jump shots, and he's also doing this
32:46
Speaker 3: score in thirty one a game by taking less threes
32:48
Speaker 3: than just about everybody else into that and he shoots
32:51
Speaker 3: like what fifty five from two.
32:55
Speaker 1: I mean he's because he shoots like, you're right, mid
32:57
Speaker 1: range stuff and like he scores that way soon. Yeah,
32:59
Speaker 1: I think he'd be my vote, but then it would
33:01
Speaker 1: be probably Jokic's Wemby, Luca and then Brown and then
33:06
Speaker 1: it's like, all right, so the top five four of
33:08
Speaker 1: them are international guys.
33:10
Speaker 3: And that makes keeps the run and going of what
33:13
Speaker 3: ten consecutive MVP awards that would be international players and
33:18
Speaker 3: the best players have come there. The Wemby part is
33:20
Speaker 3: the one where people are like, yeah, but look what
33:22
Speaker 3: he does on defense is sure, I get it, but
33:26
Speaker 3: we were never saying that was going to be the
33:28
Speaker 3: case when James Harden was winning the MVP. No, they
33:33
Speaker 3: also don't have an Offensive Player of the Year award
33:36
Speaker 3: because the Offensive Player of the Year is the MVP
33:39
Speaker 3: of the NBA.
33:40
Speaker 1: They don't have to differentiate it like that.
33:42
Speaker 4: Jokic notoriously isn't a defensive wizard, you know, I mean
33:46
Speaker 4: so that that's the other thing he's won MVP.
33:48
Speaker 1: So I get your point there.
33:50
Speaker 4: And it has been you know, listen, the NBA regular
33:53
Speaker 4: season has become sort of who was gonna win MVP
33:56
Speaker 4: conversation last you know, five to ten years, that's what
33:58
Speaker 4: it is now. But this this is a more interesting race,
34:01
Speaker 4: I'd say in some ways there is a debate there.
34:03
Speaker 4: Although the betting favorite still heavily is Sga. He'll probably win,
34:06
Speaker 4: but it was Wenby last week, it's Luca this week.
34:09
Speaker 4: So there's there's some interest there, no doubt.
34:11
Speaker 3: There's at least some kind of conversation about it, because
34:13
Speaker 3: otherwise it's just, hey, when are we getting to the playoffs?
34:16
Speaker 3: We are so close to the NBA playoffs? Thank goodness,
34:19
Speaker 3: because uh, the NBA regular season, does it not? Last
34:22
Speaker 3: night we weren't with them and with the MAVs playing
34:24
Speaker 3: the buck. Yeah, that's about as far away from an
34:27
Speaker 3: NBA playoff game as you could get. But we are
34:29
Speaker 3: getting there, and I'm excited for that nightly back and
34:32
Speaker 3: forth and hating and living and dying on every lost
34:35
Speaker 3: bet that I have throughout that.
34:37
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that, with you on that all r.
34:38
Speaker 4: Let's get a hot take in on the YouTube comments
34:40
Speaker 4: from mister guy uta.
34:43
Speaker 1: MLB doesn't need a salary cap.
34:44
Speaker 4: The World Series is the only competitive championship year every year.
34:48
Speaker 4: Compare them to the other blank leagues with the bad
34:50
Speaker 4: championship games. Hot take, guys, I don't think we've had
34:54
Speaker 4: bad championship games in every sport. I mean, the Super
34:56
Speaker 4: Bowls have been good. This year was this was this
34:59
Speaker 4: year was a blowout yes year, But in the past
35:01
Speaker 4: recent history they've been good. NBA Finals has been okay.
35:05
Speaker 1: I don't know.
35:05
Speaker 4: I don't know if I agree with that Stanley Cup
35:07
Speaker 4: Finals is Is MLB World Series the only competitive championship?
35:12
Speaker 1: No? No, I don't know either.
35:15
Speaker 3: But I do think the I do think the playoff
35:17
Speaker 3: system is as good of a leveling mechanism as there
35:22
Speaker 3: could be without a.
35:23
Speaker 1: Salary cap, if that makes some sense, makes some sense. Yeah,
35:25
Speaker 1: I agree with all random it ends up being in
35:27
Speaker 1: the last year's World Series was an epic one. There's
35:29
Speaker 1: no question, no question, no question. So it was a
35:31
Speaker 1: World Baseball Classic. Yeah, yeah, that's a good point.
35:34
Speaker 3: And in a couple of years ago, I think it
35:36
Speaker 3: was uh Panthers and Oilers in the Stanley Cup Final.
35:39
Speaker 3: It was the video went to seven games. Yeah, there's
35:41
Speaker 3: some there are some good ones in there.
35:43
Speaker 1: Get us your hot takes eight seven seven seven nine
35:46
Speaker 1: seven three. Humping them is what we do on Wednesdays.
35:48
Speaker 1: It's the Huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. It's the Huddle
35:55
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. Drew Billy and armand bringing it toiya.
35:57
Speaker 1: John Greenberg joins us at seven thirty Tuckle puck with
36:00
Speaker 1: el Hefe himself.
36:02
Speaker 3: And the Red and you want to talk about who's
36:03
Speaker 3: hot who's not one of our friends of Donovan Jorgans
36:05
Speaker 3: and like we just did a little bit ago at
36:06
Speaker 3: Milwaukee Admirals.
36:07
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, and very important.
36:09
Speaker 4: They're fighting for the fourth spot in the division, which
36:13
Speaker 4: would give them a home playoff series. So right an
36:15
Speaker 4: other point behind, I believe so important Admiral games coming
36:18
Speaker 4: up this month, Be aware, be ready and uh.
36:22
Speaker 1: Be listening to him right here right in Milwaukee. Get
36:25
Speaker 1: your hot takes in eight seven, seven, seven, nine four
36:28
Speaker 1: one ninety seven to three to the Nicolay Lot. I'm
36:30
Speaker 1: talking text name the hot Take Incubator hot Take. The
36:33
Speaker 1: Brewers are trendsetters in Major League Baseball. Good and I
36:36
Speaker 1: like this. The Mariners just copied the Churio deal with
36:39
Speaker 1: their top prospect, Colt Emerson, getting him ninety five million
36:43
Speaker 1: reasons to smile before he takes the field in the
36:45
Speaker 1: Major League, not a single at pat and he's got
36:48
Speaker 1: an eight year, ninety five million dollar extension. Way. They
36:50
Speaker 1: did it with Cooper Pratt on a smaller scale, and
36:53
Speaker 1: now Connor Griffin of the Pirates is in line to
36:55
Speaker 1: get an even bigger deal than what Colt Emerson's getting.
37:00
Speaker 3: You have to get traded somewhere to be able to
37:01
Speaker 3: get the money before he plays.
37:03
Speaker 1: No. I struggle with.
37:04
Speaker 3: The with the Pirates actually spending the money. But they
37:07
Speaker 3: got some young players that people are really excited about.
37:09
Speaker 1: Their their starter.
37:10
Speaker 3: That is like the costco Paul Skins, the Bubba Chandler guy.
37:14
Speaker 3: He started last night, struck out six and didn't walk
37:18
Speaker 3: walked like five guys they pulled him in the fifth
37:21
Speaker 3: bases juiced didn't allow any hits, so they're like, hey, great, arm,
37:25
Speaker 3: let's just strike zone right in here, kind of like
37:28
Speaker 3: miss had problems with right. I mean, that was one
37:30
Speaker 3: of the reasons why it took get here.
37:32
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's truly the way a lot of teams have
37:34
Speaker 4: to do it, and they're recognizing the way the Brewers
37:36
Speaker 4: have done it now. And you mentioned trendsetters. I think
37:38
Speaker 4: that's a great way to put it out. Talking with
37:40
Speaker 4: Hunter after the show yesterday, are intrepid Brewers, insider as
37:43
Speaker 4: you guys know here from them every day, and we
37:45
Speaker 4: were talking about, you know, it's the brilliance of the
37:46
Speaker 4: shared risk they're involved in a deal like that that
37:49
Speaker 4: makes it so good, and that makes it one way
37:51
Speaker 4: for UH franchises like the Brewers, who have some disadvantages
37:55
Speaker 4: financially to be able to try and compete, and one
37:58
Speaker 4: of those is to try and get in early on.
38:00
Speaker 4: Some of these guys give him a shared risk deal
38:03
Speaker 4: and it's a fantastic thing I think for both sides.
38:05
Speaker 1: So I love that.
38:07
Speaker 4: I love that we've done it again with the Cooper
38:08
Speaker 4: Pratt I hope you know the Brewers can keep it
38:10
Speaker 4: up with some of their young talent.
38:11
Speaker 1: It is tough Drew to be able to write.
38:14
Speaker 3: I mean we talk about it with college sports, knowing
38:16
Speaker 3: that the what makes the player tick to be able
38:19
Speaker 3: to pay.
38:20
Speaker 1: The right guy.
38:21
Speaker 3: The only team that I think is that I can
38:23
Speaker 3: really think off the top of my head. It didn't
38:25
Speaker 3: work for were the White Sox a couple of years ago? Right,
38:28
Speaker 3: didn't they sign Moncata and maybe one other guy and
38:32
Speaker 3: all of a sudden they're like they bet on the
38:33
Speaker 3: come and it didn't work out. Yeah, and it's like, ooh, okay,
38:36
Speaker 3: all of you guys World seven. So that's a tough
38:38
Speaker 3: thing for us to have. But the likelihood of it's
38:40
Speaker 3: pretty low and you start looking into the real numbers
38:44
Speaker 3: of it. We only will think of the fifty million
38:46
Speaker 3: for Pratt, but like that, if he's four years in
38:49
Speaker 3: and he's an above average major league starter, it's a
38:51
Speaker 3: hell of a deal. I just didn't like Murph in
38:54
Speaker 3: Adam mccalvey's piece of it saying I hope I'm around
38:56
Speaker 3: to seeing the big league IM like that.
38:57
Speaker 1: I think you're going to be seeing him sooner rather
38:59
Speaker 1: than later.
39:00
Speaker 4: You know, the analytics people have tried to put a
39:02
Speaker 4: dollar sign on wins with war and things like that,
39:05
Speaker 4: and you know, you can read into it what you want.
39:07
Speaker 4: But if what he's making aav is true and what
39:11
Speaker 4: the league, the market considers a worth of one win,
39:14
Speaker 4: basically he has to get a one war every year
39:16
Speaker 4: to make it worth it.
39:17
Speaker 1: Now you hope he gets more.
39:18
Speaker 4: Obviously you want to beat that number, that trend, but
39:22
Speaker 4: I think it's something that's it's true shared risk for
39:25
Speaker 4: the club and the player, and that's why a deal
39:28
Speaker 4: like that works.
39:29
Speaker 1: It's fair in both sides. So I sort of like that,
39:31
Speaker 1: all right.
39:31
Speaker 4: We have a lot of good hot takes here from
39:33
Speaker 4: listeners in the comments and the text line guys, hot
39:36
Speaker 4: take from Dustin might as well debate it since we've
39:39
Speaker 4: been talking about abs. He said, hot take, a ball
39:42
Speaker 4: or strike should be determined by the call of an
39:45
Speaker 4: umpire and not some imaginary digital strike zone. I know
39:49
Speaker 4: Dave Manona had a similar comment yesterday. We didn't get
39:51
Speaker 4: to it, but he said, it's a it becomes a
39:54
Speaker 4: circus when you don't have a human calling it.
39:57
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. What do you guys think us?
40:00
Speaker 1: Pretty well?
40:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, to me, it's I would be fine with it
40:03
Speaker 3: if it was consistent, right like.
40:05
Speaker 1: And that's the part Drew that I was that it's
40:07
Speaker 1: my numbing to me.
40:09
Speaker 3: Well, Mike Esterbrook always gives the low strike, Well how
40:11
Speaker 3: about he gives the balls that are strikes yet right like?
40:14
Speaker 3: All the strikes strikes. I don't want it to be
40:17
Speaker 3: a malleable strike zone. It is a strike zone. It
40:20
Speaker 3: is a it is a linear thing. This is where
40:22
Speaker 3: it goes to. And if you have the technology to
40:25
Speaker 3: help these guys, I think that's the part that I
40:27
Speaker 3: can't agree with.
40:28
Speaker 1: I don't know. I want to see some data because
40:30
Speaker 1: we love data, love data, data nerds, But I want
40:32
Speaker 1: to see some data. It seems like most of the
40:34
Speaker 1: overturns are on the corners, not up and down, right,
40:37
Speaker 1: doesn't it seem like it's mostly you're right on that
40:40
Speaker 1: whether they're in or out on the corner. So and
40:43
Speaker 1: some of those even some of it. And you'll see
40:45
Speaker 1: the stats, and I don't know, we're gonna have to
40:47
Speaker 1: parse the stats because it's one thing if you see
40:50
Speaker 1: B Buckner a call and miss it by like four
40:52
Speaker 1: the width of four baseballs, But if it's on my chrometer,
40:55
Speaker 1: and it's like you by Rock said yes, it like
40:58
Speaker 1: one lace touched the strikes. That's like, oh, come on,
41:02
Speaker 1: like humans, the human eye can only do so much
41:04
Speaker 1: one hundred percent.
41:05
Speaker 3: And I'm not and I'm not faulting the umpires for it,
41:07
Speaker 3: right like I think. I think that's the other part
41:09
Speaker 3: where we've been able to see, Like the one Contreras
41:12
Speaker 3: has last night is crazy because they highlight how much
41:16
Speaker 3: of it hits the zone. And I mean it is
41:18
Speaker 3: if somebody did that pink and agenda reveal, no one
41:20
Speaker 3: would know what the baby's.
41:22
Speaker 1: There was none in there. It was hard to be
41:24
Speaker 1: able to see.
41:25
Speaker 3: So to that point, like, hey, as long as it
41:27
Speaker 3: knicks the zone, technically it's a strike, then rule it
41:29
Speaker 3: a strike in less role. But I love the fact
41:33
Speaker 3: that And for you know, fans of the old National
41:37
Speaker 3: League where there was the decision on pinch hitting and
41:39
Speaker 3: hitting the pitcher and people say like, well, now there's
41:42
Speaker 3: no strategy in the game. There's a lot of strategy
41:44
Speaker 3: in this and there's a lot of understanding who you
41:47
Speaker 3: are and what mistake you can make. Like the one
41:50
Speaker 3: kid from the White Sox, I think this weekend he
41:53
Speaker 3: tapped a head. He did he did the Isaiah Isaiah
41:56
Speaker 3: Joe where I make the joke of like the ninth
41:58
Speaker 3: guy off the bench coming off in the third quarter,
42:00
Speaker 3: Drew coach, you got to review that ball was off him, like, buddy,
42:05
Speaker 3: we don't care. Right on all of these, we don't care.
