• 0:23
  Speaker 1: When Kevin Stefanski says on the Falcons quarterback situation... not
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: ruling anyone out, is he including Matty Ice, Matt Ryan.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, no one wants to play quarterback for that
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: football team. It is ridiculous. It's absurd. If I were
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: a quarterback, that would be one of the five or
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: ten teams I would want to play quarterback for. Is
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: that fair?
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: So I wish Brady wasn't in the Raiders ownership group
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: because this is a perfect opportunity for Brady to make
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: another comeback.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: He might do it. But Matty Jones is going to
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: join us in about 15 minutes. We'll have T-Bob on.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: In our number two, what do you have, Mikey? Why
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: are you wincing over there? I saw a wince.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: Because the last time I think of Brady and the Falcons,
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: I think 28-3.
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: And I'm just wondering what that's going to look like
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: if Tom Brady were to come out of retirement to
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: then take the Falcons to the Super Bowl.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: It'd be great. It would further ruin Bill Belichick's resume.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: He doesn't need any help doing that.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: He's doing it.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: And Kyle Shanahan's.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Put it on the poll. Does Belichick need anyone's help
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: in ruining his resume uh listen it's wednesday wednesdays are
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: for baseball okay let's get reunited with baseball yes we
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: have missed baseball around here taylor mikey love the yankees
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: yankees are playing well now right yeah taylor yeah they're.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Playing decent i mean they're they're beating up on the
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: twins like the yankees beat up on the twins no
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: matter what like bad seasons great seasons world series seasons
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: the yankees have the twins number they.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: Do yes I'm just curious, now that we're fully into
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: football season, college football season, NFL season, Taylor's softball league started.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: Taylor, are you still a 160 tour?
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Without question, a 160 tour.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I question it now. I do, because there's too much
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: football on.
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: I mean.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: I got three TVs in the living room. Three TVs,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: a laptop, and a phone.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Is one of those televisions just for the Yankees?
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: I call it the command center when I get to
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: my apartment.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: You don't put it on unless the Yankees are on.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Is that fair?
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Michael K is the only one I want to hear
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: from that TV.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Put it on the poll. Does Taylor's TV have pinstripes?
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: You have them on the screen. Is that what you're saying?
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Mets. And why would we discuss
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the New York Mets? I was shocked this morning to
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: wake up to a text from my friend, from my brother,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: both of which are Mets fans, sending me the video.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Peter Alonzo's 300th home run. He did it at city field.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: He is now a member of the Orioles, but he's
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: a legendary New York Met. Met fans love him. Met
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: fans did not want him to leave New York. They
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: wanted him to stay there. And so I was surprised
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: and alarmed that both my brother and my friend, both
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: big time Met fans like I am, they were upset
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: at Met fans for having the audacity to give Peter
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Alonzo a a standing ovation and cheer for him and
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: boo their own players, by the way. But Peter Alonzo
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: hit his 300th home run at city field. It was
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: a great moment. And I don't mind if Mets fans
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: wanted to cheer. They've had nothing to cheer about for years.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: So this has been a series that Mets fans have
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: had circled this entire, this entire season with Pete Alonzo
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: coming back to Queens. I don't think any Mets fans
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: saw how bad this season could have possibly gone for them.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: I do think this is one of the most bizarre
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: situations where you're going to see in baseball between a
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: fan base and a former player where Monday, Stu, I
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: was kind of on your side saying, okay, let Pete
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Alonzo get his flowers. He was a great Met. David
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Stearns messed up the entire free agency process, not even
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: offering him a contract. Pete Alonzo goes to Baltimore.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: He gets the ovation there. I started to have a
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: problem when he got walked, and they're booing Jonah Tong,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: one of their young upcoming pitchers.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Despite the fact that Jonah Tong pitched six scoreless innings.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who cares? The game is meaningless. I mean, it
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter. They'd rather see Peter Alonzo hit a 300th
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: home run at Citi Field than see the Mets win
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a meaningless game.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's going a little bit too far when
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: you start booing your own players. So that was Monday.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Tuesday.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: I think Tuesday the Mets fans lost me because you're
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: leading 3-2 in the ninth inning. And I get it.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: I get the Mets are relevant this season. They're 69-82. Yes.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: When you're winning by one in the ninth inning and
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Pete Alonzo comes up and Cody Senga is going for
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: the save.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: Uh-huh.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: And then you have this reaction when Pete Alonzo absolutely
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: crushes the ball.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: 60 feet, six inches away now. It's a high fly ball.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: That ball is long gone.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Home run history in Pete Alonzo's city field.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: That's what the fans.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Came to see right there. They came to see the.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Polar bear leave the yard. 264 career home runs here
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: with the Mets, and that is number 300.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: So that sound came courtesy of the Orioles broadcast on Masson.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: On Masson, yes.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: In city field, that sounds like a postseason game. Like
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: if you just told me, hey, guess when this game was,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: I'd probably guess the World Series with that reaction.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I was at 86 game six. It was louder for
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: that home run than it was 86 game six. How
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: about that? Against the Red Sox. And Peter Alonso deserved it.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: And the announcer is exactly right. He gave the fans
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: what the fans came there to see. They didn't come
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: to see their team that's 15 games below 500. They
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: came to see a Met great, a Met legend hit
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: his 300th home run in his field, in his stadium,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: city field, the house that Pete Alonso built.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: Taylor i think this is a product of you being
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: a yankee fan and not a fan of a team
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: like say the jets yeah because this is all they
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: have who cares about winning a game and being 28
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: games under 500 instead of 29 this is all about
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: and he wanted to stay he was beloved.
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: This is this i would have cheered I would have
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: cheered if I was a Met fan.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Yes, and boo the pitchers all you want. I mean,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: give the fans what they came there to see, okay?
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: They didn't come to see Senga. They didn't come to
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: see him get their 70th win of the season. They
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: were all there. The reason they have the attendance that
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: they have for this series is because they wanted to
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: see that moment, and they got it. You have to
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: toss up softballs if you're the pitchers. I mean, geez.
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: Boo these pitchers. If they were better, we wouldn't be
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: in this situation.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Giving an opposing player a standing ovation after he just
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: tied the game against your team in the ninth inning
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: is crazy.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: He's not an opposing player.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: That's where I disagree.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: No, he's a Met. He's a Met lifer. He might
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: be in an Oriole uniform, but to the Met fans,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: he's still a Met. And he should still be a
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Met because he didn't want to leave. The fans didn't
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: want him to leave. The only people who wanted him
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: to leave was ownership. That's it. I mean, and so
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Peter Alonso came back and gave the fans, he gave
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: them a moment. They haven't had a moment for two seasons,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: and Peter Alonso gave them something that meant a lot
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: to those fans. I am happy for them. I'm proud
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: of Met fans for booing their own players.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: Taylor, I don't know what your problem is, man. This
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: was everything.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: This was everything about being a fan of a guy
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: who gave his entire, and the ownership wanted him gone
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: so that they could build some winner, and all they
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: did is finish 20-something games under.
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: 500 so far.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: So I'm driving around this morning. I'm getting agitated because
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Evan Cohen's talking about it, and he's making a big
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: deal about it, and people are asking him, hey, did
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: you root for Brady because he's a big Patriot fan?
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Were you rooting for Brady, cheering for Brady when he
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: went to Tampa and won a Super Bowl? That is
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: not an apples-to-apples discussion. You're not doing that. If Brady
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: came home to Foxborough and broke the all-time passing yardage record, okay?
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: in a benign game against, I don't know, the New
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: York Jets. I mean, against the Patriots. He's playing for
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Then you cheer for him. Of course you
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: give him a standing ovation. He's a Patriot great. The
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: fans love him. I don't care what Belichick thinks about him.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: You give that guy his flowers. Why not?
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: It's one thing to give him his flowers. It's another
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: thing to be rooting for Tom Brady to go on
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: a drive against your team and put the final nail
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: in the coffin. I don't care if the Patriots were
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: 5-12 in this situation. I don't care if the Patriots
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: were 12-5 in this situation. If you want to do
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: the fire Stearns chance, okay, I'm for that because I
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: do think Stearns has been a pretty big disaster for
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: the Mets.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: But don't say.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: What you're doing is protesting the Mets because you know
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: how you actually protest the Mets? You stay at home.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: The moment you walk through that turnstile, news flashed.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Guess what?
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: You're not protesting the Mets. You gave the Mets your money.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: You're a Mets fan rooting for a guy that you
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: wanted to still be playing in Citi Field. A guy
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: that never should have left New York. That's who they're
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: rooting for. Why would they root for this team when
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: they can root for a guy that makes them feel
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: good at a moment that makes them feel great?
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: The one part that I do disagree with was Francisco
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Lindor after Monday.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Where he said Alonzo deserved the love, but... added that
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Mets need to give their their pitcher a little more
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: love Jonah tongue because the Mets were still trying to
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: win a game yeah Francisco Lindor, this is a case
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: where Francisco Lindor is on my side, but I'm looking
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: at Francisco Lindor and saying, hey, I don't want you
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: on my side.
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: Right, shut up.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Because you're part of the problem. You're part of the
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: reason why this Mets team is so bad.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: The reason they're so lousy and the reason they're yearning
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: for that moment is because you're so bad.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Gatz and
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Company live weekdays at 3 p.m. Eastern, 12 p.m. Pacific

• 10:40
  Speaker 1: T-Bob going to join us in about 10 minutes. He's
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: in Chicago. We'll ask him about Kayla Williams. He has
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: to be lathered up for this weekend's game. My God,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: he's going to be extra spicy today. Is he not, Mikey?
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's got LSU and he's got Mississippi coming up.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: And that man went to LSU.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: I'm going to try and get him mad.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: You can't. But Monty Jones, he's on my Mount Rushmore
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: of guests of this radio show. He's fantastic. He's unbelievable.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: He asked a question. Mikey wants to discuss it here
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: in just a second. We did not want to waste
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: his time with the Peter Alonzo conversation because that's exactly
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: what it is. A waste of Bomani's time. He has
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: no time to discuss whether fans should give a standing
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: ovation to a former Met when he comes back to
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Citi Field and hits a home run in a meaningless
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: regular season game. Because he's brilliant and smart. We are not.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: So we will continue... to discuss that, all right? Taylor, Mikey,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I am shocked by Taylor's take on this, where he
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: is upset with Met fans for having the audacity to
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: cheer for Peter Alonso and boo their own pitchers because
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: they're intentionally walking Alonso and not giving them their feel-good,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: or at least an opportunity at them to have some feel-good.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Not only am I mad at Mets fans, I'm mad
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: at Peter Alonso for going out and accepting the curtain call. Like,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: nobody made Peter Alonso go out and accept the curtain call.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: He has to. What do you mean?
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: What, somebody shoved him out of the dugout?
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: So let me try this out, Mikey, okay? Aaron Judge,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: is he as beloved by Yankee fans as Peter Alonso
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: is by Mets fans?
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: More.
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: I would say more.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: No, I wouldn't say more.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Equal.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Push. All right.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: I hate the fact that I also call him Peter
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Alonzo because you call him Peter Alonzo.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's Pete.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: It's Pete. It's the polar bear is what it is.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: His friends call him Peter. I am his friend. I
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: love that man. He provided me with one moment of
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: feel good. Let me try this out, though. Aaron Judge, okay,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: late in his career, somehow winds up in Texas, okay,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: and he needs one home run To break the all-time
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: home run record. And he does it at Yankee Stadium
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: as a Texas Ranger in a meaningless game. Yankees are
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: having a bad season. If they win the game, it
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: gets them to 70-82. Okay? Are you not giving Aaron Judge?
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, Mikey, before I finish.
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: It's not even the Texas Rangers. It's more like the
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: Cincinnati Reds. It's an irrelevant team from the other conference.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: It's interleague.
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: For the other league.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: It's interleague.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: If it means my team is losing, I am not
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: rooting for Aaron Judge. There's no way in that moment.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: I am rooting for whoever is pitching for the Yankees
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: at that point to strike Aaron Judge looking three pitches
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: down the middle.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I understand that. You're not rooting for the Yankees to lose,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: but if he indeed hits the home run, you're going
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: to give him a standing ovation.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: I'll give him a golf clap.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Really? Really. You look around first to see how everyone
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: else is acting.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't even consider standing up.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: You look to your left. You look to your right.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: You let someone else make that decision for you is
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: what you do, right? I mean, you do.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: Jalen Brunson back at the garden playing for Memphis hits
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: a three.
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: Yes. To, to, to win the game. Yes. For Memphis.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: Against the Knicks. Right.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: In a season that the Knicks are, have been out
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: of the playoffs.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Forever, which is why they got rid of Brunson.
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: You're not cheering for Jalen Brunson.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: He changed your life. Yes.
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: Say you're not cheering for him.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Close your eyes.
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: All those songs away.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: If Jalen Brunson walks into Madison Square Garden with a
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Memphis Grizzlies jersey, I am not rooting for anything him
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: to do.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: To beat the Knicks.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: He changed my life, but the second he's not on
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: the Knicks, I'm not rooting for him to beat the Knicks.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: There's one example that I could think of in the
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: history of New York sports where Yankee fans gave a
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: standing ovation for somebody not on their team.
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Tino Martinez in 2003 returned to the Bronx. He was
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: on the St. Louis Cardinals, June 14th, basically a meaningless
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: game in June.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Tino Martinez hits a home run in the game. Yankee
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: fans applaud the home run. Mm-hmm. It was a home
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: run when the Yankees were up 4-0. So the home
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: run makes it 4-2 in the second inning. In the
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: ninth inning, with the game clearly out of reach, it's 13-2.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Tino comes up, hits another home run. His second home
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: run of the game makes the score 13-4. That's convenient.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: I mean— Then the Yankee fans gave him a standing ovation.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: And at that point, it's 13-4. The game's very clearly
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: out of reach. Tino Martinez, thank you for your service.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Thank you for being an integral part of these Yankee dynasties. Okay,
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: then we give him the standing ovation. If the situation
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: was it's 4-3, Tino Martinez comes up. He hits a
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: home run to tie the game. We're going into extra innings.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: To give that guy a standing ovation, my brain can't
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: even compute how you give that guy a standing ovation.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: What if Tino does that, though, and your team is
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: 14 games below. 500? Who cares? I mean, who cares?
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: I care. Yeah. I don't. Cheer for Peter Alonso. You've
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: had nothing else to cheer for the entire two seasons. Two. Anyway,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: what was the question that Balmani asked during that interview, Mikey,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: that piqued your curiosity?
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: Bomani asked us what is the most we've ever paid
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: for something and then didn't use it and then was
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: okay with not using it. And it just made me
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: look at the whole Browns quarterback situation completely different because
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: I'm like, you know what?
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: If I paid that much money, I don't care.
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: I'm running him out there because like I bought Yankee
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: tickets months ago and it is a day that I
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: have zero ability to go to this game and I'd
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: be too mad not to go.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: It's a great question. It was a great question by
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Bomani Jones. The answer is Tua, whatever they're paying Tua.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Whatever the Dolphins are paying Tua to not use him.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: That is the answer, I think.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: It's like one hundred million dollars.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Mikey, I think my answer for this question was
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: I one time bought a video game for like eighty
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: dollars and then I played it one time and I
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: was like, man, this game is kind of a dud.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: I don't really mind losing the $ 80 here.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but his larger point is you go ahead and
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: pay Deshaun Watson that much money and not use him.
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: It just, I mean, it must irk him so much
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: because I am so mad about.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: This $ 100 I spent.
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: Right. And I'm like, I didn't spend $ 240 million on something.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: But Tua is the answer, right? I mean... I guess
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: that's the Dolphins' answer.
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: You didn't pay anything for Tua. What is that? It's you.
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: You're right.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: The Dolphins are not the answer. That was a dumb
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: response by me.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Gatz and
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Company live weekdays at 3 p.m. Eastern, 12 p.m.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Pacific. Yep. T-Bob was pretty fired up.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, smell the gumbo from here.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: He is so excited for LSU and Mississippi. I'm surprised
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: he's not going to the game. He's got the in-laws
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: coming over. They'll watch the kids. He'll watch the game
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: on his TV. We'll get to something Ryan Fitzpatrick said
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: in just a second here. But Taylor keeps telling me
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: there's some sort of elimination game. It's week two in
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: the NFL and we have an elimination game. What is
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: happening here, Taylor?
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: I think this is the first elimination. I'm ready to
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: call it. One of these two teams is being eliminated
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: this this week.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Yes. By the way, a funny part of the Mets
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: conversation is you eliminated them from playoff contention the second
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: week of the season.
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: The only problem with that is I think I also
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: said the White Sox got eliminated, too, just because I
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: was like. I was just trying to go for the
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: joke there, and I was like, who's a baseball team
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: that stinks? Oh, the White Sox always stink, and then
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: the White Sox are the surprise team.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, but you now realize why Mets fans were cheering
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: for Peter Alonso. You eliminated them from playoff contention 14
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: days into the season.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: I was dead on. I smelled those bad vibes from
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: a mile away. Every time Francisco Lindor pouts, every time...
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: Juan Soto does something good. There's something there with Francisco
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Lindor running people off in New York.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Yes, you were dead on and the fans were dead
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: on for giving Peter Alonso a standing ovation. Anyway, where
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: were you with this elimination game? Sorry, I can't speak.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: There's an elimination game this week in the NFL, week two,
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: where I'm going to cross off with Penn, one of
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: these two teams, whoever loses.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Wow. Wow.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: It's the 0-1 Commanders versus the 0-1 Dallas Cowboys.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Loser leaves town.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Loser leaves town. Well, they're going to leave town.
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, one of the teams, well, if the road
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: team loses, they have to. Win or lose, the road
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: team has.
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: To leave town.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: The commanders are leaving town no matter what. Yes. Because
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: the game is in Dallas.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: So if the Cowboys lose, they also have to leave
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: their hometown of Dallas?
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Because I don't think either of these two teams, when
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: you're looking at the NFC East, I don't think either,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: because both their week one losses were also to divisional opponents.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: I don't think either of these two teams could afford
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: to go 0-2 in division when you would consider that
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: the Giants should be a lot better this year after
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: their week one showing.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: And we.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: We feel pretty confident that the Eagles are going to
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: be there at the end of the season.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: So you're saying whoever loses this game, you are officially
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: eliminating from playoff contention.
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: Done. Yes.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: After before week one, I had the Cowboys as my
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: pick to win the NFC East and my pick to
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: be in the NFC Championship.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I feel like there have been many teams who have
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: started the season 0-2 and probably made it to the
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl or won a Super Bowl. I'm not saying
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: that's the case here. Go ahead, Mike.
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: The 2007 New York Giants who started 0-2 in that division.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: By the way. Oh, what, 19 years ago?
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Your gotcha, Mikey, was 19 years ago?
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but an 0-2 is due.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Fine.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: We'll take it. It will make the game more exciting
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: for me if I have in my mind that the
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: loser has to leave town, even though the road team
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: has to leave town, win or lose. All right. It's
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: a little too early, I think, for a Thursday night
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: game of this magnitude. Do you guys agree?
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: It does feel like that because you have Lions at Bills.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: And it's a great game.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: It's a great such a good game.
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: I get that you need the big opponent in Detroit
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: when you're opening the stadium for the first time, having
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: this primetime debut at the Bills' new stadium. But this
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: almost feels like a week 12 like Super Bowl preview
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: instead of like a week two. We're still working out
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: the kinks of both these teams.
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: On a Thursday night. I need it, though. I miss
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: football already. I know I said I was tired after
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: all the games on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. But now
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: I'm craving it again. I need it now. Took a nap.
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: I'm good now.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Put it back on. We talk some baseball. I'm ready
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: to transition back to the NFL and college football. What
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: did Ryan Fitzpatrick have to say about the Dolphins here, Taylor?
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Ex-Dolphins quarterback, Ryan Fitzpatrick.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: He's an ex-everyone quarterback.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: What team do you associate him with the most?
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: The Bills.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: The Bills for me.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Bills. Yeah, the Bills.
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: I think that was the only place where they signed
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: him to start.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Right. Yes, they wanted him. Yes. He was not a
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: backup plan, an emergency quarterback. He was the guy.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: So Fitz said, 0-17 season is within reach for Miami.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: It's a real possibility.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: So that got me thinking, do you guys think it's
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: more likely a team goes 17-0 this season?
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: More likely.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: Or a team goes, well, if Mikey was asking, it
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: would be more likely. Is it more likely a team
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: goes 17-0 this season or a team goes 0-17?
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: So the team that everyone thought was going to go
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: 17-0 is already 0-1.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: And one of the teams you probably thought could go
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: 0-17 is 1-0, the New York Jets.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and there are two, right, that's a good one.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: And there are two especially bad teams this year in
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: the NFL. The Dolphins are one of them and the
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Browns are the other. Is there another team that you
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: could see going 17-0? Because I think the answer is 0-17. Plus,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: you have the entire NFC South. I'm trying to think.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Is there a team besides the Rams... that you guys
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: feel confident enough to say, hey, that team could go
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: 17-0 because I don't see one.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: No.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: If I went to sleep in a coma and you
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: woke me up at the end of the season and
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: you said, who went 17-0, I would guess the Ravens
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: and the Bills. And I wouldn't be surprised if either
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: one of those two teams went undefeated.
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: I mean.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Just because of the level of quarterback play that you're
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: getting from those two.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's special, yes. But, you know, there have
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: been other teams with special quarterbacks who have not gone 17-0.
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: The amazing thing about the Dolphins.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: Those teams have had those quarterbacks and not gone 17-0.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, Ricardo will tell you this. The amazing thing about
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: the undefeated Dolphins is they did it with Earl Morrill.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was the backup to Bob Greasy. A
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: winless team. God, the Dolphins were so close one year.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: So the Dolphins would be the first undefeated team, the
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: only undefeated team in NFL history.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: The first defeated team.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes, yes, yes. They would get it at both ends. Yes,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: the only undefeated team and the only winless team in
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: NFL history.
