0:21
Good evening everybody. I welcome to the Sports Exchange and we he's back jb
0:27
Ellis fresh off Cooperstown and some of the other travels that he's been at.
0:32
J b Ellis, I'll be the first to welcome you back to the big
0:35
show. How's it going, how's everybody doing? We're doing all right?
0:40
Glad to see you. I'll tell you we've missed you. All right.
0:45
Well, I can't give you a standing ovation because I said, but at
0:48
least think about it. Anyways, all right, so I said, we
0:52
have Candy Emly welcome back. Can thank you? Scott? Great, glad
0:56
to be back. And smoking will be smoking tonight. How are we doing?
1:02
Everybody? Well, we're doing lively. And George Einkorn is he smoking
1:07
a cool or a viceroy or what's he smoking? TAO industry? Any Sorry,
1:18
I am, I'm well. I gave a good answer. Ld long
1:22
distance. I smoke it way far away from where I do this podcast.
1:26
All right, Well that's good to know. All right, well't you know
1:29
what the ninth's episode, we're going to cover a lot and there are a
1:33
few interesting topics. I want to make sure that JBL had an opportunity to
1:38
comment. So I'm going to go to the Baseball ones first because obviously the
1:42
name of the episode, this stimulus Response MLB trade deadline styles what we're really
1:48
looking at. So this is going to be something where we're really going to
1:52
pretty much trying to talk about a lot of different things. And you know
1:56
what, yesterday's trade deadline wasn't forgiving for a lot of the teams that ended
2:01
up selling. So but that said, we'll lead it off here with the
2:06
New York Mets traded David Robertson to the Marlins, and yet that sets off
2:12
Max Erzer, who is now a Texas Ranger. So you know what,
2:15
I'll go right to left, George, what do you think? I You
2:20
know, I give Max a lot of credit only because he spoke his mind,
2:23
and I think he spoke the mind of a lot of Mets fans.
2:28
You go out and spend all that money and you bring all stars in there
2:30
like uh, like the Mets did, and then you go and trade Nate.
2:35
Uh. You know, obviously the white flag was raised at City Fields.
2:40
It's a shame what happened to that team this year. If you would
2:43
have told me that Max and JB of former Tigers would be reunited and then
2:49
by August first they both be gone. I would have say, what are
2:52
you smoking? Yeah, no, I know it's hard to believe, so
2:57
yeah, okay, JV. Listen, the Mets did the right thing.
3:02
They just are competitive this year for whatever reason. You know, New Yorkers
3:07
should know from watching the Yankees for many years, you can't just buy a
3:12
championship. You can't win the World Series because she's spend two hundred million dollars.
3:15
The Dodgers are a perfect example of that. Year after year, it
3:21
just happens. And the Mets did what was right. They got rid of
3:23
the guys with large salaries. The fact that they're still paying them means nothing.
3:28
Their owner is a billionaire, he has plenty of money. You know
3:32
he's going to go out and spend money. I'm sure free agency again this
3:36
year. So I think the Mets did what was right for them long term,
3:39
and I don't think it really hurt them in any way. Hey,
3:43
Jeremy, the Mets did the right thing selling off, because every now and
3:50
then, when you put that many diva style superstar mentalities together, what happens
3:55
You have a locker room crash and that's exactly what it looks like happened with
4:00
the Mets. So I kind of said, I doubt either one of them
4:04
are together by the end of the season. Did I think they both get
4:08
traded from the team. No, but I knew neither one of them would
4:11
be on the same team by the end of the season. Candy, my
4:15
question is, had this had the Mets gone out and gotten these guys a
4:21
year prior, there was so many that everybody's been talking about how the veterans
4:28
are having a hard time with the new pitch clock, And now you have
4:32
a bunch of veteran pitchers that weren't used to a pitch clock, and you
4:38
can't tell me it's not affecting them. The rookies were used to playing minor
4:43
league ball. They're used to those the time limits and everything. Like I
4:47
just wonder if this was a year ago, if they would be fire sailing,
4:51
not fire sailing, but moving all these veterans off the team had they
4:58
not had the pitch clock. I'm not sure, but it's something to think
5:02
about because it is interesting, Like they say, it's harder for veterans to
5:06
get used to the pitch clock, get used to the quickness. Let's face
5:11
it, if there's an overthrow at first base, it's a pitcher's job to
5:14
be over there backing them up. Then they got to come back to the
5:16
pitching mound. They only have how twenty seconds then it starts and they got
5:20
to it. They've been playing this summer in a lot of heat. I
5:26
mean it's a record heat all over the country. They're tired, and now
5:30
you can't tell me it's not affecting them. But they did the right thing
5:35
because they're not in contention and prospects will help them in the future. Yeah.
5:41
The one guy feel bad for him this whole thing is Buck show Walter.
5:44
I really do. Yeah. Yeah, he had a great year last
5:46
year and now Buck show Walter has to deal with this nonsense again. I
5:50
don't know where the noise background is, but I'm not going to try to
5:55
compete with it. So but meanwhile, Buck show Walter to me, is
5:59
a guy that didn't have to deal with this again, and I just hope
6:01
that his job gets spared. He isn't opportunity to work through a lot of
6:05
these issues. So what that said, we'll stay on to the Mets team
6:11
here, Schuzer gets traded justin Verland or not, please, Verlander is now
6:15
returning to the Houston Astros. Okay, George, Well, I think that's
6:19
a good, good deal for It's a win win because obviously, like you
6:24
guys are saying, the Mets were not going anywhere JV. You know,
6:29
I mean his wife, if she's still doing her modeling. I'm sure they
6:31
were happy to go to New York for that. But let's face it,
6:35
he has a second home in Houston area, and the Astros loved him down
6:41
there. The fans loved him, he loved it, Manager Baker liked him,
6:46
and so it's a win win. I mean, Jav's got to be
6:49
very very happy for that. I mean, as far as for his own
6:53
being forty years old, I mean, she's I'd be happy. You're going
6:56
to a World Series contender again, Houston, even though they might not be
7:00
the favorite to win at all, but they certainly are right up there.
7:04
Jabe, listen to it works out for everybody, you know, The Mets
7:10
get the prospects. Verlander, in the twilight of his career, gets to
7:14
go back where he did well and have a chance to win a World Series.
7:17
What could be better than that? For him, Houston makes out because
7:20
they needed an armed to catch Texas and vice versa. For Texas, they
7:26
needed it armed to keep Houston down. So everywhere wins in this situation.
7:30
The Mets get a little bit richer for the future, and they did the
7:32
right thing. Jeremy even though he says that the Mets get richer for the
7:40
future, they got great prospects for the future, but they didn't get richer
7:45
because they're still paying mixtures are in justin Verlander as though they're there, each
7:49
one of them still getting over thirty plus a million a year over for this
7:54
year, next year, and then half of that the following year. So
7:59
you look at all the money they've spent, they wasted it candy. They
8:07
There is a report out that says that Scherzer had a conversation with Eppler and
8:11
Eppeler said, no, we're not. It was because Schuzer asked him,
8:16
are we reloading for twenty twenty four, No, we're not. Basically,
8:20
our vision now is for twenty five, twenty six, twenty five at the
8:24
earliest, more like twenty six. We're going to be making trades around that.
8:28
And that's what they did. That's why they traded some of these older
8:33
veterans and got prospects so that in the next couple of years they're going to
8:37
be up and coming and they'll be able to really ignite the team. Well
8:43
again, yeah, you have a situation where you have two and bear in
8:46
mind, trustin veryland Or just recorded his two hundred and fiftieth wins, so
8:52
you know, and now he's going to get to play for Dusty Baker.
8:54
Life's not bad. Suzer gets to play for Bruce Bocchi to two excellent managers,
9:01
to world championship managers. Yeah, I'm getting better than that. And
9:05
and you know what's even better about their situation. Neither of them's gonna have
9:09
to pay no state income backs either in Texas, so we're not gonna it's
9:13
not a bad play thing you can do. In Florida, we don't pay
9:16
no state income taxts either, so you know that they you know, Steve
9:20
Colin can keep all the money you want because there's nothing that can be more
9:24
compensatory than when you don't have to pay no state income back. So all
9:28
right, let's stay on, Let's stay on the baseball and show hey,
9:33
o, Tanys not going anywhere. The Angels are still buyers at the trade
9:37
deadline when you look at Randall, Grindcheck and CJ. Crone. So,
9:41
George back to you, I wasn't totally surprised, even though, um,
9:46
it's a real tough situation because the Angels could definitely be empty handed. I
9:52
don't know what to think. I don't know if he's gonna want to stay
9:56
there or not. I mean, there's been all kinds of talk about,
9:58
you know, him playing still on the West Coast. You got the Giants,
10:01
you got Seattle, you got the Dodgers, and the Angels. But
10:05
I don't know what he's gonna do. I thought I thought they might try
10:09
to move them, but they're still, you know, in the hunt for
10:13
the wild cards. So I understand they hope to get Croud healthy, hopefully,
10:18
and then they're gonna make a run for it. I guess that's the
10:20
only thing I can think of, because boyle boy, I mean, he's
10:22
looking at sixty million dollars plus for an annual contract. I know the Angels
10:28
got a lot of money, but I'm not sure they're gonna want to spend
10:30
all that money. So I was a little surprised Scott that he didn't get
10:33
moved. Hey Bryant, Okay, hopefully we'll have a chance to get around
10:41
the football, but if not, I guarantee tomorrow night inside the fix and
10:48
we'll have plenty of that for you. So thanks for checking out with us.
10:50
We appreciate it all right onto you, JB. Well, listen,
10:54
you know, it's just crazy how Otani is by far the best player in
11:00
the game. The Angels have a shot to make the playoffs, and they
11:03
have two of the top talent players in baseball. You gotta make a run
11:09
run at it because for the Angels who are at the Dodgers, they don't
11:13
they don't win all the time. You got to take a chance. It
11:16
was the right move to keep them and try and do what you can,
11:20
you know, long term to keep them. Hopefully they can you know,
11:24
make a deal to keep them long term, because be great to see him
11:26
stay there. But at the end of the year, you're gonna have your
11:28
regular players. Even though he says he wants to stay on the West Coast,
11:33
Yankees, Mets, Cubs, they're going to be involved no matter what.
11:37
And of course you know the Giant Seattle, you know San Diego,
11:39
possibly, but I think they spent a lot of their money already and they're
11:43
locked up with a lot of long term guys. But you know, I
11:46
think they should have looked towards him as well, so it'll be interesting to
11:50
see. I mean, how can they don't want to keep that guy?
11:54
Go ahead, Jeremy, Well, with them being byers, that means they're
11:58
trying to get to the wild card to get hot and move forward. That
12:03
being said, showya tani, please, for the love of God, with
12:09
us losing Hobby bay As his contract in mccabrera's next year, we have enough
12:13
money come home to Detroit. Okay, Well, I love the energy is
12:20
there. I'm so sure it'll realistically have him, But I give you the
12:24
old tale. They're gonna have ninety million in cap room next year. Well,
12:28
the main thing is really contend not by As though, Jeremy. I
12:33
think it's you're thinking of scope. Maybe no Bayas comes up gets to where
12:39
they can cut them and not hurt their cap situation next year because it's the
12:43
third year of that contract, so they can even get that twenty million back.
12:48
Okay, all right, Candy, how do you go and trade somebody
12:54
that throws his first complete game shutout in his career, a one hitter in
13:03
a doubleheader, and then goes and he hits what two home runs in the
13:07
second game of the doubleheader, Like that's just unheard of. And the other
13:11
thing is is what was the asking price? Like, is there anybody out
13:16
there that has enough players to compensateate what they would have wanted for Showhy I
13:24
mean, they're gonna make a run. The fact that they are in the
13:28
hunt means that if they were gonna ship him off, the price would have
13:33
been really, really steep. And can anybody afford that anybody have compare or
13:39
compatible enough people to if you lose show here to make up the difference,
13:48
because he's doing it on both sides of the ball, and there isn't any
13:52
other player that comes close to that. It's amazing how some of these Japanese
13:56
players turned out. Eatro Szuki outed that one turnout show hay O, Donny
14:01
of Death Day a decade, Matt Suey right, another one out there.
14:07
Javanese players are awfully good. The only I'll say about show Heyo tany is
14:13
you know why you should keep them. You know you're buying and those transactions
14:20
are there but let's not forget how many people he's gonna put it in the
14:22
stands there, and it shows a fan base. You're still trying to win
14:26
anyway. So how much revenue would you have lost with the people you know,
14:31
your fan base if he didn't stay for the remainder of the year.
14:33
Deal with it. And if you lose them, well, at least you
14:35
can't say you didn't try to keep the guy anyways by not only being a
14:39
buyer, but give it your best shot. What do you have to lose?
14:43
And I think the Angels took the requisition here as well. I should

15:58
so I want to make sure we at that lacross. All right.
16:00
This is one of the topics I held out for JB. Ellis okay,
16:03
and one that his own is for you only, but everybody can comment on
16:07
it. But we're gonna start off with JB and then around horn. The
16:11
Yankees and the Cubs first played in nineteen thirty two, and the Cubs won
16:18
at Yankee Stadium. The Cubs recently defeated the Yankees. But we're on and
16:22
twelve at Yankee Stadium July seventh, it was a three to nothing they win,
16:26
and then they won on Sunday with a seven to four win on July
16:34
ninth, and the Yankees were able to win well, they well, they
16:38
won seven to four on July Ay. I'm sure what were your thoughts JB
16:44
about that particular series when the Cubs in the Yankees square off. So the
16:47
first of all, I was shocked that the Cubs had ever won there,
16:49
but of course being an ASH League team in the America League Park. But
16:52
it was pretty pretty cool to see that happen. I watched the game being
16:57
a Yankee fan. I'm not really happy to see the Yankees in such disarray
17:03
this year. But you know, the Cubs, they're showing some life at
17:07
this point of the year. They had a little dead spot a couple of
17:11
weeks ago, but they've turned it back on and you know, they're probably
17:15
four games back. They're playing Cincinnati was in first place right now, a
17:18
one run game last time I checked. You know, they have a lot
17:22
of young talent. That's good. I got a chance to talk to the
17:26
owner of the Cubs where we're in Cooperstown and we were talking about how big
17:30
Bellinger has been for them. You know how I told him it reminded me
17:33
of the Yankees and the mid nineties where they had all the young local prospects
17:40
that they brought up and then they brought in the right veterans with them.
17:42
And he agreed completely. So, you know, it's good to see what
17:47
they're doing. And it was great to see them get their first couple of
17:48
winds at Yankee Stadium. Hopefully it never happens again, and they could go
17:52
one hundred and fifty nine and three every year now that everybody's gonna play everybody,
17:57
Well, think about it. They won two of were in that series,
18:00
So again, the Cubs have been a team right now, somewhat in
18:03
transition. I know, we talk about the fact that COVID nineteen, you
18:07
know, the Rickets were, you know, they wanted to be cautious of
18:11
their money. Now that things are starting to get a little bit better,
18:14
then now they can afford to make bigger moves for sure. Hey, you
18:18
know what I think the Cubs and the Yankees is a one reason why I
18:22
think interleague play is so good, so that you can see these old traditional
18:26
teams play each other once in a while, you know, you talk about
18:29
the Dodgers and the Yankees, Cubs and the Yankees, these teams have been
18:33
around forever. And to see him on the field, and the Cubs to
18:37
be able to get those two wins, I was really happy for them for
18:40
sure. All Right, now we'll go to Jeremy. With the struggles the
18:45
Yankees have had. I'm going to say the same thing I said at the
18:48
end of one hundred and eight stitches last night, fire Aaron Boone and hired
18:52
Don Maddingly, be done with it. I wish that's the best thing I
18:56
heard all day anymore. Or is that where you end it? That's where
19:03
I end it, all right, George, you stole my thunder. You
19:06
stole my thunder. Scott a great minds think alike, Because I was going
19:10
to bring up the Nague play. I mean, you know, it's it's
19:14
those are just such to me. They're just magical matchups. You know,
19:18
the Cubs going to New York Yankee Stadium. You know, we're going to
19:22
Boston and playing at Fenway. I just love that kind of stuff, you
19:26
know. I know some people are still died in the wool fans. They
19:30
just don't want in or league play at all. I love it because we're
19:33
getting to see more teams now, and now it's at least it's parceled out
19:37
more I mean, more fair than it was before under the new scheduling format.
19:42
Sou and Scott, I know you so and Candy. You saw the
19:45
Tigers in Miami and they said, I don't know how many years it's been
19:48
since the Tigers played the Marlins down there, well like seven or eight years
19:53
or it's some long stretch. So you know, the teams are getting a
19:57
chance, not a goal, and see some of these teams or host at
20:02
their stadium, teams that they never see anymore. So I'm all for it.
20:06
But I do agree that obviously the Yankees are having a bad year,
20:08
the Cubs are hanging in there. It's exciting baseball. Yeah, I find
20:14
it hard to believe in the same year that the Yankees and the Mets are
20:17
near the bottom of their divisions. That to me something I never thought i'd
20:21
hear of. The Mets obviously have been up and down. Obviously, Steve
20:25
Colan learned a little bit this year about you can't buy a championship and at
20:29
least he's recognize it at the right point where all right, you know,
20:33
we're going through this trade deadline thing. Let's just go ahead and regroup and
20:37
renew what we have to do. And I commend them for at least learning
20:40
now making some moves for the future. But Air League plays what it's all
20:45
about, and to see the Cubs and the Yankees, to me is just
20:48
nothing short of phenomenal. Candy. You got the last word on this,
20:52
So I make no bones about it that I grew up in Milwaukee. I
20:56
have been a Brewers fan for the longest time. And what I thought was
21:02
really interesting is when they switched from the American League to the National League.
21:07
So I got so growing up, I got to see a lot of the
21:11
teams that were in the American League, and then then after that when they
21:15
switched, I got to see the teams from the National League. I really
21:18
like interleague play, and I really like the fact that they're playing all these
21:22
different teams because, like you guys said, it's it's makes for good baseball,
21:26
it makes for good storylines, you know, these old franchise playing each
21:30
other. I just think it's good for the game. It's interesting because now
21:36
I've watched some of the players on the field, and some of their relationships
21:40
are renewed, and some of them, like they go the guys get to
21:44
first base and they're you know, tapping and talking with the first basement on
21:48
the opposite team, and I just think the camaraderie of baseball, it's good
21:52
for the game. They good. All right, We're gonna move on to
21:56
hockey this time. NIKEI permanently in sponsorship of hockey Canada's men's program due to
22:02
sexual assault scandals. All right, Georgey, you hear this kind of stuff.
22:07
I'm so sad when we hear about these things, and hockey is another
22:14
one that's been tainted by some of these scandals. I know they have had
22:17
issues in Chicago and elsewhere, but I'll tell you what. For them to
22:21
pull out, oh my goodness, that is a tremendous blow to the NHL
22:26
anytime you lose a sponsor of that kind of name and recognition. But you
22:30
know, there's got to be a better way to make sure these creeps and
22:36
guys that are doing stuff that they shouldn't be doing. As far as that
22:38
goes, comes to an end. And I know it's a wishful thinking,
22:42
but we've seen so much of this. It's just been terrible, the sexual
22:48
abuse and abuse of women that we've seen in major league sports, not just
22:53
by players, but sometimes front office executives. Come on, I mean,
22:57
they got to know more than that. Come on, just stay away from
23:02
that stuff as best you can. I say, maybe, let's say it's
23:07
just disgusting any buddy that sexually assaults anybody else. There's no excuse for it.
23:14
You know. Obviously they're getting hitto the pocketbook now where Nike pulled out,
23:18
But it goes beyond that. It just as a human being to do
23:22
that to somebody else. Everybody has a mother, a father, or a
23:26
daughter, or a son, or a brother or sister. We all have
23:29
somebody. How would you feel if that was someone that did it to your
23:32
family, you know, So it's just a horrible situation. Jeremy, I
23:40
have my own personal opinions which I will not impose about sexual deviance and the
23:47
guys that do that type of stuff to women, right but I fully support
23:51
Nike on doing what they did. That's all I got to say about it.
24:00
And so me being the only female on this panel right now, Thank
24:07
you Nike for taking a stand. Thank you for the NFL for just changing
24:15
your standards as well, because you now impose your standards are the same as
24:21
MLBS and the same as the NBA's. You're gonna stiffen the penalties for crimes
24:29
like these that are happening. It's sad that they happen. It's sad that,
24:36
let's face it, we all know that we all kind of look up
24:38
to the guys that are playing sports, professional sports. We go, we
24:44
pay money to go watch these guys play. You would like to think that
24:49
they're good human beings, and most of them are. But there's those one
24:56
couple of bad apples that tain't the sport completely. It's time we stiff in
25:02
those penalties so we get rid of those tainted apples. Johnny I'll say,
25:07
is like JB indicated, all right, kind of in a pocketbook. That's
25:12
what they did, all right. Next, we'll talk about Magic Johnson owns
25:18
the LA Dodgers, the LA Football Club, LA Sparks, Washington Commanders,
25:25
owned a state in the Lakers. We sold it in twenty ten. According
25:27
to the front office force, we'll have Magic Johnson is unbelievable in the George.
25:33
Yeah, he is, and we're proud of him being here from Michigan.
25:36
As everybody knows, he had a great career at Michigan State University and
25:41
went on to wonderful achievements in the sport in la Um. Yeah, I
25:48
think it's kind of cool. I'm glad to see him involved. I know
25:52
that Michael Jordan got out of the NBA owning the team in Charlotte, but
25:57
it seems like her Magic Hnson is enjoying it. I mean, he's having
26:00
some fun and he's, you know, trying different things as far as the
26:06
sports go. Not he's not just sticking with the NBA, and I really
26:10
think that that's that's good for the game. I mean, he's just been
26:12
a very good ambassador for the game. I mean, I know he had
26:17
that whole thing with AIDS and everything and he got over that, and I
26:22
just have the utmost respect for Magic. He's a great guy, great personality,
26:26
and I think it's good for the game because here you've got a former
26:30
player that wants to move into ownership and he deserves it. I mean,
26:37
yeah, he's got a half financial backing behind him, of course, but
26:40
he deserves it because he's he has a love on a passion for the NBA,
26:45
football, Major League Baseball, whatever he's involved in. Jamie las Wilson,
26:52
I've always been a huge Magic Johnson fan from when he was a player.
26:57
Was always my favorite basketball player. As a business owner and an athlete
27:03
that played and purchase franchises, you know, we had the um the movie
27:10
theaters. I don't know if he still does. He's a phenomenal businessman,
27:14
and you know, to see what he does, it's inspirational to athletes,
27:18
to minorities, to me, to everybody. You know, we all wish
27:23
we could do what he did and could learn from him. And it's just
27:26
great to see what he's doing and to actually have a get into the NFL's
27:30
phenomenal. You know, it's a it's a great thing for the NFL.
27:33
They got rid of a huge problem and they got a great name to have
27:37
a piece of ownership. All right, So let me ask any of you've
27:41
got any of y'all do you think that the new ownership would bring back to
27:45
Washington Redskins? Yes or no? One work George, are you talking about
27:51
the thunder? Well, that's okay, I'm serious. The name Jeremy,
27:59
Okay, I know, I know yes or nos will work. Well,
28:04
the new ownership bring back the Washington Redskins. Yes or no? George no,
28:11
JB No, Jeremy, yes, Candy no, I say yes.
28:21
Well the reason why Magic Magic has already put out a petition to be signed,
28:26
and it's being signed across the country right now. It has over one
28:30
point to million signatures to bring back the Redskins name. I've signed it myself.
28:37
I'll share it with all of you. Very good. Well, you
28:41
know, I mean we have a group of five here to say Redskins in
28:45
and three don't remember the way you asked the question, is it not do
28:49
we want them to? Is will they change the name? He proposed that
28:56
the petition That means he wants to change the name back. And it wasn't
29:03
Dan Snyder's name was anyways, It wouldn't like any name that he's associated with.
29:07
You bring it, if you bring on magic and Josh Shares, you
29:11
bring that the Redskins and you know what, and after about the logo,
29:15
they already haven't in place to bring the old thing back. So I don't
29:18
know. I just thought it was worth mentioning, all right, Last topic
29:22
of the day until we unless we go into parting shots. All Right,
29:23
the longest championship droughts in the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL. The
29:30
Arizona Cardinals check in was seventy five of the NFL, the Cleveland Guardians seventy
29:36
four, MLB, Sacramento Kings seventy two of the NBA, and the Toronto
29:40
Maple Leafs fifty five NHL. So, all right, George, who's gonna
29:45
go ahead and break theirs? First? Well, you know, the Cardinals
29:51
have had some good teams over the years, I mean up and down like
29:52
a yo yo. So I don't know if they're gonna do it. I'm
29:56
gonna go with the Sacramento King. So the NBA, and again they've had,
30:02
like you said, a tremendous drought, but they seem to be getting
30:04
their things together. I mean, they had a good season last year.
30:07
I'm I'm thinking it might be them, But the other ones are just,
30:11
oh my god, Toronto, I know, oh man, they got to
30:15
be fit to be tied. But I'm gonna go with Sacramento. I think
30:18
that's gonna be my choice. Oh and the Guardians, of course, my
30:21
god, they've been waiting forever and clod like you said, But I'll go
30:23
with Sacramento. Well you Jabe some reason, I think the Guardians the baseball
30:30
teams have an easier shot at breaking that streak. To me, the NBA
30:34
is to what the teams make the playoffs hockey, the Maple Leafs are a
30:38
cursed team and the Arizona Cardinals are the Arizona Cardinals. I mean, I
30:45
don't ever see them win it. Like you coment in Toronto. I can't
30:49
wait to follow you up with that one. All right, Jeremy, I
30:56
think the last time Toronto one I was even being thought of being conceived,
31:00
yet Arizona one in seventy five, No, seventy five years ago was five
31:11
years ago? Wow? Yeah? So yeah. Um. I want to
31:18
say something nice and pleasant for the Cardinal fans that are out there, but
31:22
I really don't. As long as you have a quarterback that wants to play
31:25
video games more than reta playbook or study it, guess what you're not winning.
31:30
Um. Yeah, I'm gonna agree. Sacramona Kings or Guardians are the
31:34
two best shots, you know, out of all of those, those are
31:40
the two that have the easiest road to break the street. Hey, Candy,
31:45
if the Cubs can break the curse, so ken Toronto? Why not?
31:52
Hasn't been a hundred years yet, but it seems like it is.
31:59
You don't, I mean, where did hockey start up in Canada? Like
32:06
I I just think I think Toronto, that's my guess out of all of
32:09
them, because started at a pond outside of Detroit. We're called hockey to
32:14
him for a reason. Come on, as far as my husband will keep
32:17
reminding me, Detroit is so close to Canada and he's from Canada. I
32:25
think Toronto has a better shot because, honestly, I think the other teams
32:30
they don't spend the money and they don't get the talent that they can compete
32:35
with the other teams in their leagues respectively. Well, well, you know,
32:42
she has to listen. You know, since you're from the Detroit area,
32:45
you get wins or with it. So we get the extra TV station
32:47
los at c KLW George, Yeah, channel nine. Yeah, we used
32:52
to have JV Hockey Night in Canada and it was fun to watch then.
32:59
Oh yeah, it was fun to watch all those other teams play. So
33:02
you know, as much as I would like to see the Toronto Maple least
33:06
because I think they have one of the best of this group here. I
33:09
probably might hedge towards the Sacramento Kings as well. But remember the last time
33:15
the Cardinals won a championship, I believe it was with the Chicago Cardinals,
33:20
wasn't it, I believe? So? Yeah, So they didn't won one
33:24
in Saint Louis when they had two birds, and they haven't done it in
33:29
Arizona. So I'm gonna say that the Chicago Cardinals pre dates a lot of
33:35
us, if not all of us. All right, any of us?
33:40
Is that old George's closer cheap shots from the cheap seats? No, it
33:52
isn't, because I'm not that far behind him. Anyways. Hey, let
33:54
me tell you, George is probably healthy. It is AIGs and I am
33:58
at mine, so you know it at that? So all right, what's
34:02
that? He's probably healthier than me? Yeah, okay, I wish.
34:08
So how about that, baby, we gotta we have a Chicago championship in
34:12
there? Was it just Chicago cat right? It was a long time ago.
34:17
Well, let me ask you a question, JB. What what did
34:22
Debby think about that Tom's Cardinals series? She was quite happy I wasn't tell
34:31
Debbie. You know our hearts with her, and we know she's a cubby
34:36
girl. More importantly, long she makes you happy, she's all right in
34:38
our books. That's why I held out the topic. Guys, so sire
34:45
running actually pretty good on time. I'm gonna leave it open for anybody that
34:50
wants a parting shot. George, anything on your mind. Well, JB
34:52
was a witness to the Hall of Fame, and I know Scott's been there
34:57
and Candy I have not, but I I still think we gotta get two
35:01
former Tigers in that Hall of Fame, Mickey Lolich and Lou Whittaker. Lolich
35:07
of course did a fantastic job as Tiger's starting pitcher. In fact, he
35:14
won three games in the World Series, which is unheard of nowadays, three
35:17
games and beating the great Bob Gibson in a couple of those games. But
35:22
Mickey Lollis deserves consideration by the select Era committee. And of course Lou Whittaker
35:28
goes without saying. I mean, Scott Rowland made it, but come on,
35:32
sweet Loud did a fantastic job here in Detroit alongside Alan Trammel, and
35:37
once they finally put trammel In. I have a feeling that Whittaker might get
35:45
a look, a more serious look, even though one vote came since then
35:50
and he did not make it. But I'm just pulling for those two.
35:52
I hope the Baseball Hall of Fame and the writers correct that error and get
35:57
Mickey Lulich and Lou Whittaker into the Hall of Fame. That's my parting shot.
36:02
A good night, Jamie. You know, the whole of I want
36:07
to talk about the Hall of Fame Permanent. I think the Hall of Fame
36:09
did a phenomenal job with everything that they had, the whole program throughout the
36:15
weekend. Um, you know, they to see the players that became Hall
36:20
of Famers in the parade and taking the time most of them, you know,
36:25
took time to side autographs for the fans and spend some time with them,
36:30
you know, to see the media inductees John Lowe and Pat Hughes get
36:37
inducted with you know, to me, quite an honor chist world in the
36:39
media field here, um, you know, to hear their stories and what
36:44
they had to say and how they got there, you know, and then
36:47
of course just getting to view the Hall of Fame again having been there before.
36:52
It's just it's a special place and you know, if you haven't been
36:57
there, go And I want to give a lot of credit to through them,
37:00
but it would be great to see if they can get Louid travel and
37:02
at the same time, that would be phenomenal because you know they were they
37:07
were great together, well Trammels and but my friend tom Gage is trying like
37:14
heck to get him in. But it's not like lou is the most open
37:16
guy on the planet, so he's uh a lot of that something that.
37:23
But tom Gage has been lobbying to get lou Wittaker JB just so you know
37:27
in it. So you know, but I'm glad you experienced it. Did
37:30
you ever have a chance to go to the Ford Frick Award wing of there
37:35
as well as the broadcasting as well as the Writer's wing. No, I
37:39
did not. This was the first time. Yeah, we went back there
37:44
and it was unbelievable. And I can say a lot of my friends are
37:46
in there, you know, tom Gage, I mentioned Ernie Harwell. The
37:51
list goes on and on. Should you get back there again, That's something
37:53
I would encourage you to do, particularly since that you're in the profession anyways.
37:58
All right, but thanks for sharing JB. Appreciate it. It was
38:01
fun to watch all your posts on social media. Well so, all right,
38:07
Oh it was great. I mean, yeah, you brought back memories
38:08
about a year ago. So and I'd love to get back there one day,
38:12
but hopefully it won't be as expensive. All I'll say about it it
38:17
is Don matting Lee needs to get in the Hall of Fame period. Yeah,
38:22
it'd be nice. I mean if Scott Rowland did. I can't see
38:24
what Mattinglee shouldn't be in. Oh good, good, then you enhance my
38:30
case. Thank you very much. Okay, Jeremy, go ahead about the
38:35
subjecting shot, shot my parting shot. Sayonara to Mike the Michael Lorenzen.
38:45
He goes to the Phillies. We get back a guy and I talked about
38:49
it last night. To seventy one batting average, three uh one slugging,
38:53
four h one ops. All of those numbers are almost one hundred points better
39:00
then Hobby Bayas call him up. So Hobby Bias is your favorite player?
39:07
Oh my god, it's like gart I get the feeling that Hobby Bias to
39:19
you is only like you wanted to get rid of Dwayne Casey. Right,
39:23
yes, yes, yes, you got your weirds on that one. Careful
39:29
what you ask for, you might get it. James James Burgess gave us
39:37
a parting shot buck shot Dan Snyder's butt well target tonight, all right,
39:49
can't and you know what, yeah making James Burgess making a little leged on
39:53
Gibson and sixty eight. James seven was a shout out told Roger Maris lost
39:58
his last or whatever. I hit a home run when I got Tom Gainscott,
40:05
Mickey, Lola John the Sports Exchange with Peter Wheen and I and you
40:07
can see that interview on this self sort of tribute website. Go ahead,
40:12
Candy. So my parting shot is this last weekend was one of the last
40:16
weekends without football. Football has started training camps are there, so there's been
40:25
all kinds of talk. We all know Rogers is no longer with the Packers.
40:30
It's time for love. My question is is this will also be a
40:37
test to see how good a head coach Matt Lafleur is because before you had
40:45
Aaron Rodgers, who has been a Hall of he will be a Hall of
40:47
Fame quarterback. He's had a great career now you're bringing in somebody that a
40:55
lot of people think won't last. How well will he do in coaching him
41:02
as well as love in playing and competing? Great parting shop? All right,
41:09
well, you know what, I don't actually have a parting shop.
41:12
I have something to say about what took place on Monday. It was nice
41:15
going back down to the University of Miami covering the media day, and also
41:20
nice about it. The access was fantastic and the PR guy was a whole
41:23
lot better. Cameron Gorby is one of the classiest PR guys I have ever
41:30
seen, and I mean I have ever seen all this COVID stuff going around.
41:35
It puts forth a great media day. I was able to muster up
41:38
ten interviews in a matter of two hours for our YouTube side. And you
41:45
know what, I got four offensive players, four defensive players, and two
41:50
coaches. And I'm going to tell you something. If I had more of
41:54
these opportunities like I get with Miami because we do well with them with the
42:00
postgame is one thing, it would probably make me feel better about wanting to
42:04
go to more events. Probably next year. I don't know what my load
42:07
is going to be. Accessibility is what this is all about and some pr
42:14
places do a much better job of it and some don't. But you know
42:17
what, the biggest home run that I hit last year was on the South
42:23
Florida Tribune landed the University of Miami. Now, I should point out though,
42:30
now from nineteen eighty two and eighty three, I had the opportunity to
42:34
work with the University of Miami when Howard Stellenberger was a coach. You know,
42:37
I have Florida Atlantic University as well. I expect that for a you
42:40
to do some pretty good things under Tom Herman, and I do have a
42:45
speason credential for the Miami Hurricanes. I will get out to as many all
42:49
those games as I can. Got to know Tom Herman a little bit during
42:52
spring. But I'm going to tell you to me. As much as I
42:55
love the University of Michigan and I graduated from the Unversey of South Florida,
43:01
I love the University of Miami Hurricanes and I'm proud of it. And coming
43:06
up on a future edition of Fire Up Florida, I'm going to bring my
43:08
colleague Adam Lichtenstein on for a Fire Up Florida. I hope you can be
43:13
there to watch it. Adam and I have a great working relationship as a
43:15
lot of the people there. So kudos to Cameron Gorby and the Miami Hurricanes.
43:21
You guys are you guys are great and I'm just looking forward to another
43:24
great year under coach Mario Crystabal and expect Coach crystabaluting good things down in Coral
43:30
Gables. So but that's said, Okay, well, everybody know how they
43:36
can get a hold of you. So we're going to start off with Jbllis

46:07
Thank you very much, Kenny here a pro. You do that subscribe
46:09
thing better than anybody. But you want to say, yeah, we'll get
46:14
into that all right. Well yeah, now let's talk about the audio version
46:17
of the show. Actually, that's good, Jeremy. Thanks for mentioning it
46:21
up that the audio version of the Sports of Teams can be heard on iHeartRadio,
46:24
Apple, Spotify, go wherever get your podcast I Heart Stay because a
46:28
lot of people are familiar with that. The other ones are just as good.
46:30
We have other ones that are out there. And of course my book
46:32
is going to be adjusting the new media, hoping to release that the next
46:36
three to five six weeks. But you know, seventy five percent through it.
46:40
I like to talk about the old school, how things used to be,
46:44
how they are now. And I think it's been a fun book for
46:46
me to write it. But the amount of research I've had to put into
46:50
this thing has been incredible. And I also have a COVID nineteen section which
46:53
has really indicated some of the trends of what this industry has becoming, why
46:59
some our closest friends are getting out of it. And of course, and
47:04
of course, the Motor City Madmouth Show will be debuting later on this summer
47:07
or if not early fall, and it'll be also presented by the Eagle Corps
47:13
Protect Company, which I am the president of that organization. So we have
47:16
a lot of good things going for us. But that book, for those
47:20
people that really know me, they've known I wanted to write a book.
47:23
You just don't write a book unless you have something to do, and I
47:25
believe that this is one book where I've gotten a lot of people interested in
47:30
fact. Over the weekend, Craig Monroe, the Tiger's former outfielder and broadcaster,
47:35
and Ron Allen, who's joined me in Miami, both both like the
47:39
idea and we've gotten a lot of good positives hope we're keeping it there.
47:43
JB. All right, Yeah, we're gonna have to give you some jolt.
47:46
I'll give you a jolt of information. That's okay. But anyways,
47:53
that all right, so we'll go ahead and turn it over to George.
47:59
Competing looks so I love it. Me and Scott are going to have books
48:01
competing. No, not really. But my book is called Detroit Sports Broadcasters
48:07
on the Air. It's been out for several years and it's a great read.
48:12
It's really easy to find if you go to the bottom of my column
48:15
and you can click on a link that Candy set up right at the end
48:17
of my sports column and the South Florida Tribune and the Motor City Tribune website
48:22
and you can click an easy way to buy the book. Scott's in the
48:25
book as well, and so many, so many great Detroit people are in
48:30
there. It's a wonderful keepsake. You can reach me at giicorn and Yahoo
48:34
dot com. You can find me on one hundred eight Stitches. You can
48:37
find me on Big Skin, you can find me on the Sports Exchange.
48:39
Whoever Scott needs me and don't forget. You can reach me too on LinkedIn
48:45
under my name, or you could go to Twitter sand G Sports ninety nine.
48:52
Thank you all right, Well, great show tonight. I know we
48:55
talked a lot of baseball nine, a little different from our usual lots of
48:59
football, but there were some pretty good baseball topics I wanted to get to.
49:02
I don't really like to say that if there's any favorites of the group,
49:05
but the one I really have to admit that I really enjoyed a lot
49:07
tonight. I was talking about the Yankees and the Cups. That was something
49:10
that just doesn't happen a lot. And when you have two incredible traditions like
49:15
that, and what do you do? And of course the longest championship droughts.
49:20
I got a lot of us are wheels turning. So meanwhile, on
49:22
behalf of George Korn, Jamie Ellis, Jeremy Ballwright, Candy Eviley, my
49:29
name is Scott Morgan round the Motor City Man Mole. Thank you for joining
49:31
us on this edition of the Sports Exchange, and we will catch you on
49:35
our next episode. Every great weekend, everybody, and be safe.
