• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the Candy Woman is on as well. All right, let's
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: get to it. Lots cover here tonight we're going to
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: talk about the highest sports broadcaster salaries. Okay, get ready
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: for this list. They get paid a lot of dough.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady at Fox Sports Jersey price tag of thirty
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: seven and a half million dollars per year, Cheneral Barkley
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: TNT twenty one million per year. Steven Ah Smith, who's
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: louder than I am, I don't know, spends on what
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: day of the week with much cap twenty million per year.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Troy Aikman ESPN eighteen millionaire not too bad, Tony Romo
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: fellow Dallas quarterback eighteen million per year. We'll see the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: They have a little McAfee people seventeen million a year.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Ye have Shaquille O'Neill with TNT fifteen million year, and
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: you have Joe Buck fifteen million per year. Let's go
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: around the horn. Who's worth the who's worth their money?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Over the marking.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: The ones that I think wouldn't be I want to
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: take the flip side forgive me here with their money
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: would be the color commentators, not because they do a
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: poor job. Tony, you know I'm seeing if Tony Romo,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Troy Aikman you mentioned in there, but you watch you
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: tune in to watch the game, and I think you
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: would be tuning in to watch just about any color
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: commentator there would be. I know that Colin Coward once
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: said that John Madden back in the day that there
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: was about a ten percent increase in viewership and the
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: games he broadcast, Chris Madden usually was broadcasting the best games.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: So consider that was it Madden or was it the matchup?
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: You know? I mean, obviously I think that Brady's improved
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: a lot, But you're not tuning. You're tuning in to
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: watch the teams, not necessarily hear him break down how
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: to beat a three four defense or something like that.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: For the rest of them, you are tuning in to
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: hear them, you know, certainly, why would you watch him?
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Charles Barkley, I mean, you know you do that. ESPN
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: now is Steven a Smith for better or worse? You know,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: you've got a lot of these Pat McAfee obviously, I
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: just said that the network was Smith better or worse?
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: But McAfee has, I think, in so many ways change
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: sports talk, and he's really brought the bro culture there.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: But he does a fantastically entertaining show, and I really,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: you know, I do enjoy it. So I would say
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: that if someone like a McAfee does earn their money,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: but the color commentators not so much, no matter how
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: good they do.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's fair. I like it handy.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: I think you, for the most part, if you are
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: a fan of the sport, you are watching the sport,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: and you're picking the game that you want to watch,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: doesn't matter who's calling it. In fact, there have been
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: times where, especially like on baseball, and I know you
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: don't have a lot of baseball commentators on there, I
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: would actually turn the sound off of the game and
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: put the radio on because I like the radio commentators
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: better than ok the TV. But when you're putting that
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: list of it, I think there's something to be said
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: for the non casual fan or the person that doesn't
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: really watch it. Maybe it be whoever or who doesn't
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: know the game very well that I think sometimes they
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: do a good job of explaining it, especially some of
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: the players from a player's perspective, that you wouldn't normally
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: get back in the day when you didn't have a
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: lot of that. So I have to give kudos to them.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: And obviously it's entertainment, so they're gonna get paid for
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: entertaining us, and so do they get paid a lot
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: of money?
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, But come on, give me one or the list.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I don't need your commentary on the commentator. Come on, I.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Mean you expected that of Tom Brady. Let's face it,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: he's you know you expected him to get paid a
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: lot of money.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Enjoy tom Brady, but does he should he be the
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: highest paid sports He's getting it because of his name.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Let's face correct.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: He's won enough Super Bowls that everybody recognizes his name
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: for it MVP. So that's why he's making the money.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: All right, So we got two tom Brady's. I just
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: want names off the question. Okay, let's go ahead and
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: do what we gotta do. So Mark, you're saying tom Brady,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: can you're saying tom Brady? All right? Best word citing?
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Can you get it right? I know you can give
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: me a namor too.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: One is Joe Buck.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: I love his commentary on on Baseball. You know, I
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: hate when he had left Fox because that took him
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: off of the World Series. But one thing for sure,
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: my mom texts me any Monday throughout the fall and says,
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: it's a good day because I'm listening to Joe Buck
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: and Tom Brady those are two voices that I just love.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: I mean, not Tom Brady and Troy Aightman. Those are
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: two voices I just love call games. But I feel
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: you too, Candy, like now that, especially that I'm in
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: this space of podcasting and talking sports. Some games I
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: watched and I turned this valueme off just because I
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: want my own opinions and like and I want to
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: watch the game and evaluated for myself. But I do
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: get the value of people. I feel like we should
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: get more of the time Brady breaking down the x's
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: and o's, because that's why you're getting thirty seven million
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: dollars a year. We want the insight of what people
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: consider the greatest player of all time. But yeah, for me,
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: it's Joe Buck and Troy Aikman together as a duo
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: because it just makes me think of my mom.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: And that's watching football.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I like it, Tony.
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna agree with Tony on that, Like Joe Buck
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: is just with football and his baseball calls as well,
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: Like that one walk off home run that Saint Louis
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: had where he said we'll see you tomorrow night. I mean,
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: it doesn't get as legendary as that. I've always enjoyed
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: just hearing him, and like I said, he's a multi
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: sport guy. And with Pat McAfee coming up, like I know,
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: he's not everyone's cup of tea, but he is entertaining
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: and for someone that you know was just a punter
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: in football, he's really been you know. I would say
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: like a lot of people have tuned into more sports
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: because of him as well. Like he he doesn't just
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: talk about football, he's also like basketball. He's trying to
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: get more people into hockey. He's trying to get everyone
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: to follow every sport, not just football. So those would
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: be my top two is Joe Buck and Pat McAfee.
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: Like it, Okay, Cliff, Well, yeah, I'm gonna go with
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: Joe Buck on that. But Tom Bray, No, he's there
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: because he's he's Tom Brady, awesome Grady quarterback. Ever, Okay,
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna give you his kudos, super Bowl Trophi's awesome.
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: Does he know?
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: So?
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: I don't. I'm just bored by him. I'm not impressed
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: by what he does playing Stiff. I'm not impressed by
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: what it does. I don't like McAfee. I think he's obnoxious,
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: he's a jerk. I know that's his thing. I know
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: they're trying to bring it, trying to make sports hipper
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: and cooler and with it. I'm like whatever. Plus he's
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: doing WWE also as well. He's doing that thing too,
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: which I'm I'm fine with. You get pe to do
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: stuff they want you. But you know, you know, he's
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: gonna do his thing. I'm not excited by him at all.
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: You know, it's you know, I don't like the boring,
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: boring stuff, but I don't know it's yeah, Joe Buck
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: and none of them really those color commentators really did
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: it for me, any of them. I'm I'm not really impressed.
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: And yeah, it's I don't really need the you know,
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: the color commentators. Yeah, I like my color commentators maybe
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: because you know, like, uh, with the Mets, Yeah, where's
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: the Mets hat? I love he and Keith Hernandez Okay,
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: Keith her Nanda is he's he's awfu because he was
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: he was a great first base when he was a
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: general there. And he's just spot on with all his
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: analysis because he knows exactly what's going on. He they
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: did it last night. He did it last night. They
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: shouldn't be moving over there. He's but that's gonna go
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: to right field. Next pitch went to right field a candidate. Nice, yeah,
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: good job for the plug. All right, that's all. I'll
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: give it a right in Canada and I'll turn over
• 9:52
  Speaker 7: to mister baseball himself, Eric Katz.
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: I mean, I like, I've always liked Troy Eckman. I mean,
• 9:58
  Speaker 8: he's been on TV for a long while time. He's
• 10:00
  Speaker 8: really good at it too, and you know, I leave
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: with a new understanding every time I see him do
• 10:05
  Speaker 8: break down a game, whether it be for Fox or
• 10:07
  Speaker 8: ESPN these days.
• 10:09
  Speaker 9: Not a brady guy. I just don't care for him
• 10:11
  Speaker 9: as a broadcaster.
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: He's you know, he's just he's just there because he's
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: a name.
• 10:16
  Speaker 9: That's a that's about it.
• 10:18
  Speaker 8: And i'd say locally though, I'd probably say with the Yankees,
• 10:22
  Speaker 8: you know, I got Paul O'Neill, who does it.
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: I got Joe Girardi.
• 10:24
  Speaker 8: I mean, those guys are those guys know what they're
• 10:27
  Speaker 8: doing when it comes to broadcasting, and so like, I
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: like my local guys better than then than they do National,
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: because National, I feel like all they do is pursue names.
• 10:34
  Speaker 9: And you can't really hate on Pac Mac because.
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: Illusionizing he's revolutionizing broadcasting.
• 10:41
  Speaker 9: He is changing the game.
• 10:43
  Speaker 8: He's trying he's trying to appeal to the other generation
• 10:46
  Speaker 8: by making sports for him, doing more than just football,
• 10:49
  Speaker 8: He's doing multiple sports. Heck, he's had Brewers manager Pat
• 10:51
  Speaker 8: Murphy come on the show multiple times. But you know
• 10:56
  Speaker 8: he's it's just a new level broadcasting. That is what
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: the other generation is, that's what appeals to them, and
• 11:01
  Speaker 8: Pat McAfee fits that profile.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: You know, it should be said I when I was
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: writing the Pittsburgh Post is that I did a story
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: and I put a life me. I can't remember his name,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: but A McAfee went to Plumb High School outside of Pittsburgh,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: and I was doing a story on the Plumb kicker
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: because the Plumb Mustang seemed to have the best kicker
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: in the whippiel in the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic League and
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: it was really making a difference in the games that
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: they that they played, this sort of thing, and so
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: I did a story on him, and you know, well,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: i'd you get to be such a good kicker. Well,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Pat McAfee came back to the high school. He's a
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: great guy. He taught me so much. I think that
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: speaks very well of McAfee.
• 11:50
  Speaker 9: He's great.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: All right, here's who I have. I know, I've known
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Joe buff for a long time. I always put him
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: on the list. But the wild cards are Charlie Barkley.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: All love anybody that can bash the NBA the way
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: he does and tells it like I did, and he's right.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: And the other one I actually like has grown on
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: me as Stephen A. Smith, who's the number one. We're
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: both loud and number two. We both back up what
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: we talked about. So and he produces his own content
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: and he also delivers it. So I always respect people
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: to produce their own content and deliver it on the
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: air and take control of what they have to do. Charles,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: I have no problem. I mean, the NBA is a
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: league that to me is is awful and he has
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: that very right to critique it the way he does
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: with Joe Bucket Joe buck and we'll go on from there.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: All right, let's continue on. Have a lot of topics
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: to get to tonight. Michelle Obama compared watching ESPN to
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Real Housewives. All right, let's a rapid fire on this one.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Marky we alreays talks about Michelle Obama talking about ESPN
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: the Real Housewise.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: I need to know a context where she's coming up
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: with that. I'm trained it because first oft look, I'm
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: a guy. I haven't really watch real housewives, all right,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you be they in Atlanta or Beverly
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Hills or Fargo, North Dakota.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: I have.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: I understand there have been you know, there have been
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: some very But the thing is, I usually think that
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: real housewives are very beautiful women, usually who are married
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: to prominent people. And I'm just trying that's my understanding
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: of real house I am not an expert on this show,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: and it has very different locations that are thought to
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: be glamorous throughout the country. Is the other thing that
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: I'm you know, as I said, Beverly Hills, Atlanta has
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: a good reputation, Miami, Gary, Indiana, Okay, maybe in all
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: the great places. So that's my understanding. I'm just trying
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: to figure out. I mean, I've got criticisms of EBSPN,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: many critiques of them. But to make it SEXI comment,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: that's a comment that only a woman would make.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you you got Candy Eve's eyebrows.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Arry, But guys don't watch Real Housewives of Wherever.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know she's applying, don't you. I'm telling
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: you what she's applying. Okay, you don't know what's tomorrow.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I don't watch that show either. Feel too bad because
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: it really is that I did either take that playing
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: that these clouds already been argue like Real Housewives, that's
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: all she's saying.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Ah, well that would be then. I think that's been
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: said for a million years. I forget the there was
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: a the comedy skit, but there was once wre there
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: actually paradise parroting the ESPN talk shows. And I don't
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: know if you remember this skit. It was called sports Screaming,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: where basically it would be like we're doing all this,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: but we're all talking at the same time until one
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: of us just literally screams out into the air and
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: and that was a ship. And I said, you know something,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: you're absolutely right there. Because I always thought those ESPN
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: shows me they Around the Horn or whatever, are unwatchable.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: I'm amazed PTI is still on the air. I mean,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: I remember when Larry King was singing his praise that
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: goes praises.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: That's okay, that's okay. Mark, I love your insight, thanks
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: to letting me out screaming about why so to give
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: you a little information for what I heard about the
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: real Housewoyd bickering because the other ones are yelling at
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: each other all they do. Then ESD is yelling, not research.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: We both know that real school guy. All right, Candy,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: why did you I have to ask Candy E a question?
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Why didn't your eyes just perk up when Gary Andyana
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: was brought up? Because obviously he struck a chord with you,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: didn't he? I don't know.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: I mean Gary, Indianna's Gary and Bienna. Let's face it, it
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: might be where the uh Chicago Bears build the stadium.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Right to the whole of Fred Williamson, who I remember
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: talking to online and said, you ever get back there?
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: The other thing is that I they're the home of
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: the South Shore RailCats, the d the independent minor league
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: baseball team, and I used to work with Greg Taggert
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: who was their manager for many years h up there
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: in Gary and such, so I you know, a little
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: familiar with the sports scene there, although I couldn't tell
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: you what the high school standings are or something of
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: that nature. But yeah, you.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Know antle Keny, we're gonna talk about her comparison the
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Real Housewives, So she was.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Kind of citing that the constant drama, the yelling, the
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: interpersonal conflict between hosts remind her a lot of the
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Real Housewives of Atlanta, And to be honest with you, you
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: can see it because there are times that stephen A.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Smith is not like he yells, he doesn't agree with
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: some of the other analysts and they go they go
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: at it. Let's face it. So is is it the same? No,
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: But it's all entertainment. They're both paid to both being
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: paid to entertain the fans. So uh and stephen A.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Smith gets paid very nicely to entertain us.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: All right, we're sitting you in the house or what
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: you want to talk about this?
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so look at somebody who.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: All right, well now he's in the car. Okay, no camera,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: but that's okay, right behind this topic, that's okay.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: No wait, my camera shows is on. You can't see me.
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: No, no black screen on black screen man?
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: What yeah? What that's okay? Give me your audio comments
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: anyways as you figure it out, come back on.
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, somebody who's watched smut TV with with his with
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: his girlfriend a lot.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: I get what she's saying. A lot of yelling.
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: No one can get their point across because they're yelling
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: at each other. They do, especially it's just the debate
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: take topics of sports now. So now everybody wants to
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: have the hot take. Everyone wants to argue about each
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: other's hot take. The only difference between sometimes watching ESPN
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: or First Take or even some of the shows on
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: FS one and Real Housewives is they don't throw drinks.
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: That's literally the only difference. You get to yell and
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: you get to screaming. Oh, you don't get the beeps
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: from profanity. But I can get what she's saying with.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: That, Cody, what's your interpretation of it?
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: I mean, exact same thing as Tony is, Like, I
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: can kind of see what she's saying. I probably I'm
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: more probably entertained with the ESPN people than the I've
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: never watched for Ohio's Wives, so I wouldn't know anything
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: about that. I know my wife has watched some shows,
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: and I walk out of the room and go do
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: something else whenever she watches those kind of shows. I
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: can't stand it, at least what I know with the
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: ESPN at least I know what they're talking about, and
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: they're what they're arguing about, and I can kind of
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: get on board, but I mean, not my cup of tea.
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: I hear a bunch of grown men yelling at each
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: other like that, but I get what they're saying. But
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: like I said, I can see the comparison that she's
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: saying pretty much.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's.
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: It's well, it's about ratings. People yell. That's what they're
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: they're they're there for. I mean, what has she never
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: heard like any type of like sports radio and the people.
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: That's why the people are yelling about this. That the
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: other thing, Jerry Seinfeld said he loves listening to sports
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: radio because people yell about things that absolutely do not
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: matter in this world. That's where he absolutely loves that.
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: And it's it's about ratings, that's what That's what. Wait,
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: a lot of unfortunately a lot of cable news has
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: been we're gonna have the and then yell at them
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: hate each other. And I have another uh uh an
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: idea about that. If you remember, if you've noticed Stephen A.
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: Smith said he's thinking about running for president, I think
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: she went to go check him out. Heard that and
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: that's why she stumbled upon the esp had so I
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: don't think if he would have said that, she would
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: have given bother going to see what's going on and
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: to see what he does and what's going on over there.
• 20:08
  Speaker 8: Hey, Eric, I mean, it's a very thinly veiled shot
• 20:12
  Speaker 8: at stephen A. It's probably it's probably more or less
• 20:15
  Speaker 8: what it was. I mean, you'd have to you have
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: to understand though she kind of was. There's a little
• 20:19
  Speaker 8: comparison there, given that all they do on ESPN is
• 20:22
  Speaker 8: yell at each other all day long. These days, it's
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: no longer gone over the days of Stuart Scott and them,
• 20:28
  Speaker 8: but it.
• 20:31
  Speaker 9: You know, it was just a thinly veiled shot, is
• 20:33
  Speaker 9: what i'd say.
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: And Michelle Obama's right, you know, ESPN has guy's fallen far,
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: has fallen far, far, far down from where it used
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: to be, and they no longer have the shows, they
• 20:43
  Speaker 8: no longer really have the personalities, with the exception of
• 20:46
  Speaker 8: Pat McAfee, And you know, there's a reason that other
• 20:50
  Speaker 8: people are just not watching ESPN anymore. And I think
• 20:53
  Speaker 8: that's what Michelle Obama is getting at.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: And miss bob Lean and Miss Chris Berman, that's all
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: I can to Bobby was as good as he catching
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Chris Berman. Obviously those are two of the originals. Yeah,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: that was there when I started, and I had a
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: chance to meet Bobbily over the n SmaI. It was unbelievable.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: I talked about in my book as well. I actually
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: met to Charles Barkley, have a photo with him in
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: my book as well. Let's continue on talk about Chicago.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Bulls obviously moved on from guard J and Ivy following
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: his recent anti lg DTQ comments and a series of
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: controversial remarks for involving religion and other topics. He's a
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: former number five pick sent four seasons with the Detroit
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Pistons who was trained to do Chicago in February. What's interesting,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: and obviously I believe the general manager was fired as
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: a result for making the move. The Pistons ended up
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: go ahead and picking up Kevin Herder was doing a
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: pretty good job as a shooter out there. And obviously
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Ivy will still get his full ten point one million
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: dollar salary from the Bulls. Mark you. Let's talk about
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: the way thing has unfolded with JA and Ivy. Is
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: he blackballed? Do you think I'll get another job.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: I think he will be blackballed. I think that this
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: is an indication of how well the political leanings of
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: the NBA. To be brutally honest with you, I think
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: also that you've got a situation. I wonder, you know,
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: I with the comments that he made, I wondered if
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: a suspension might not have been better. You know, in
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: the old days, I think you would have had a suspension.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: But I think you have here a player that is
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: viewed as a bust, and it's do we really want
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: this around if it doesn't fit with our well, the
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: political image that we want to have in the NBA.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: I think it's I think it came down to that.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Maybe, you know, I think part of it wasn't just
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: all of that. I mean, he had mediocre stats at
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: best this year. But they also say that players in
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: management have noted an increase in Ivy's preaching and evangelizing
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: behavior in the locker room, with some reporting that he
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: would interrogate reporters about their private lives, all of which
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: likely contributed to the detrimental conduct case. Yeah, the other
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: comments don't His other comments don't help either. But if
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: you don't, if you don't have it on the court
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: and camp back where your mouth is getting you into trouble.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: You're more problem than you're worth.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to go into Kevin Herber for a minute,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: because the Detroit Pistons the kind of player that he is.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: He's actually in his last seven games, Kevin's average twelve
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: point one point per game, two point nine rebounds per game,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: two point seven per game, forty percent from the three
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: point line, as well as six zero point five ts percentage.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: So no, Pittston's got a good player for him and
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: they unloaded a problem and a very expensive one and
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: then as well, so more powerful the Pistons for getting
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: value and they got rid of the trauma and don't
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: have to other ten million. So all right, Tony, what
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: are your thoughts about Jane and Ivy Jade.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: And Ivy is definitely blackballed. Uh, he will not be
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: back in the NBA. Look, man, you don't want the
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: LBGTQ community against you, no matter how you feel about them.
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: There's a very powerful group of people that persuade and
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: UH can control a lot of stuff. So if you
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: want to, if you go against them and if you
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: feel a certain way to make them uncomfortable, you will
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: probably be out. And the way he went about it too,
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: it was it seemed as though it was attacking a group,
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: which you never want to attack a specific group in anything.
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: So yeah, man, it's he's he Probably we'll see him
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: in Shanghai playing for the Shanghai Sharks and.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, I think he's definitely done in the
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: NBA for sure. Okay, Tody, I.
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: Don't have much on this. This is the first time
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: I'm hearing about it, but I mean probably, yeah, for sure, blackballs.
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: If you know, if whatever kind of comments you have
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: like that, you should probably just keep to yourself. That's
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: probably the especially being a public figure like he is,
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: and that's something you should might just keep to yourself more.
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: Cliff, Well, it just it just really comes down to
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: the fact that he wasn't that good and if he
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: made the money, he was the top score here and
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: he was he was, you know, getting double doubles and
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: triple doubles, and he's on the All Star team. But
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: it still felt exactly the same way, and still put
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: the stuff out there. It's still be on the team,
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: there's no doubt. Might he'd be still be on the team.
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: They probably make him apologize and to be a summit
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: and a press conference and you know all that stuff
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: and all that. You know, they how that goes down.
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: But it comes down to that, that's you know, it
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: wasn't that great. They gave him an excuse to get
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: rid of him, and yeah, he's probably not gonna come back,
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: you know, because it's just not that good, you know, Eric.
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: I mean, you know I heard about it.
• 26:21
  Speaker 8: You know, I don't I don't think he's coming back.
• 26:23
  Speaker 8: I mean, this is the way, this is what the
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: NBA does to these guys when they don't lean their direction,
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: which is which is a shame because they seemingly were
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: okay with letting Gilbert Arenas hang around despite him keeping
• 26:34
  Speaker 8: firearms in his locker, or even John Morant flashing guns
• 26:38
  Speaker 8: on camera. You know, the NBA has got the NBA
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: just doesn't know what what it wants when these guys
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: get get in trouble and can't really get out of
• 26:45
  Speaker 8: their own way. But Jade and Ivy wasn't really that
• 26:48
  Speaker 8: productive anyway. I mean, he was a first round pick.
• 26:51
  Speaker 8: There's a reason the Pistons got rid of him because
• 26:53
  Speaker 8: he was more of a head case than a producer.
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: And the last thing the league wants these get these
• 26:58
  Speaker 8: days is more head cases. Although I think they want
• 27:01
  Speaker 8: less head cases because, to be honest with you, every teams,
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: every team has won, you know, let's take Anthony Edwards
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: for example in Minnesota. But you know, I think he's
• 27:12
  Speaker 8: good as gone. You know, he wasn't that productive anyway,
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: and he was you know, you know, and the Bowl
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: the bull and that wasn't the reason why the Bulls
• 27:19
  Speaker 8: GM was fired. He was fired because that wasn't the
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: only reason. The only the reason he was fired was
• 27:23
  Speaker 8: the team was going nowhere and he had no idea
• 27:25
  Speaker 8: what what he wanted it, what he wanted the team
• 27:28
  Speaker 8: to be.
• 27:28
  Speaker 9: That's why he was fired.
• 27:29
  Speaker 8: Never mind cutting people, because that every GM, every all
• 27:34
  Speaker 8: thirty NBA gms would have would have cut him anyway.
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: So but yeah, I mean the Bulls are just a
• 27:40
  Speaker 8: big giant mess. They've been a mess for years and
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: right now they're you know, from you know, whoever the
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: GM has got themselves. It's an attractive job, given the market,
• 27:49
  Speaker 8: given your lot, given the loyalty. Jerry Ronthorpe shows it.
• 27:52
  Speaker 8: I'lbeit too much loyalty at times. He you know, it's
• 27:57
  Speaker 8: you know, they're gonna have a mess to clean up.
• 27:58
  Speaker 8: And you know they might be looking for a new
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: coach too, because Billy Donovan.
• 28:02
  Speaker 9: The future is kind of up in the air.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Well, Billy Donovan leaves, it will be by his own
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: choosing because he's fed up with what's going on. All Right,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: anybody I haven't called on at this point, Candy, Yeah, yeah,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: we're good. Let's continue to move on. I got a
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: pit for a guy in here, so let's go talk
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: about Joe Block and he'll give you some interesting words
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: of the Pittburgh Pirates. Go ahead, Danny all the day.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Let me do that. Sure this?
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: How about that market? I get out there to Brandon's
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Inn and I do this just for you, my friend. Yeah, okay, yeah.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Obviously the Pirates have had a great history of broadcasters.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Bob Princes on there, Steve Blast, have you been able
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: to really embrace a lot of their past broadcasters and
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: how much have you enjoyed, you know, the people that
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: came before you. Yeah.
• 28:51
  Speaker 10: Yeah, we're sitting in the Steve Blast booth right now.
• 28:54
  Speaker 10: And I got to work with Steve uh for four
• 28:56
  Speaker 10: years when I first started here and sat next to
• 29:01
  Speaker 10: Bob Buker for four years in Milwaukee and learned a
• 29:04
  Speaker 10: lot from him and we had a lot of laughs.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: It was great.
• 29:07
  Speaker 10: And you know, so my personal history, being able to
• 29:11
  Speaker 10: work with some of the best people and best broadcasters,
• 29:16
  Speaker 10: it's been a privilege. But the Pirates have you know,
• 29:19
  Speaker 10: going back to Rosie Rosewell, I mean I've had you know,
• 29:22
  Speaker 10: Harold Arlen had the first broadcast ever in nineteen twenty
• 29:26
  Speaker 10: one on Katie K, so you know, baseball on the radio.
• 29:30
  Speaker 10: It's a privilege to be able to broadcast for the
• 29:34
  Speaker 10: Pirates because there have been so many great people that
• 29:36
  Speaker 10: have done that through the years.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Are there any particular broadcasters that you've learned from over
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: the years that you've been able to try to build
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: your style around. Obviously, have to be your own person,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: but let's not cat Herse. Being from the Detroit area,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: I've always tried to pattern myself around Ernie Harwell and others,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: but Ernie was my favorite one. But what about you?
• 29:53
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I mean I don't have one person or
• 29:58
  Speaker 10: even a few people that I've patterned in thing against it.
• 30:00
  Speaker 10: I just I'm kind of a weirdo. So I just
• 30:03
  Speaker 10: got to do whatever I like to do. But yeah,
• 30:05
  Speaker 10: growing up in Detroit. Obviously it was earning and Paul
• 30:07
  Speaker 10: on the radio. Paul Carey doesn't get enough accolades. In
• 30:11
  Speaker 10: my opinion, he was really good. And then George and
• 30:13
  Speaker 10: All on TV. You know, you have two Hall of
• 30:16
  Speaker 10: Fame players doing the doing the game, you know, George
• 30:20
  Speaker 10: on play by playing, All On on Color, And I mean,
• 30:24
  Speaker 10: so I learned the game of baseball between those those
• 30:27
  Speaker 10: four guys being able to watch them, and they really
• 30:31
  Speaker 10: made the game vivid, but also you know, brought it
• 30:34
  Speaker 10: to me in a way that was exciting. And of
• 30:36
  Speaker 10: course the Tigers I grew up in. You know, I
• 30:38
  Speaker 10: started following baseball in the mid eighties. So eighty four,
• 30:40
  Speaker 10: I was six years old, and you know, okay.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: What is this.
• 30:44
  Speaker 10: You know, this seems exciting, you know, cruising grash it
• 30:47
  Speaker 10: with my dad in his fifty seven Chevy pickup, you know,
• 30:50
  Speaker 10: you know, Hank and the horn and okay, what is this? So,
• 30:53
  Speaker 10: you know, eighty five eighty six and I started, you know,
• 30:55
  Speaker 10: I was eight years old. I started really getting the Tigers.
• 30:57
  Speaker 10: The twenty home run in field and then eighty seven
• 30:58
  Speaker 10: went into you know, to Nana Overkeith in the final
• 31:01
  Speaker 10: day of the season. It couldn't have been better. And
• 31:04
  Speaker 10: I was that game, that one nothing Larry Herndon home
• 31:07
  Speaker 10: run and the whole bit. You know, that game cemented
• 31:10
  Speaker 10: my love for baseball.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: All right, Marky some talks about some other questions. I
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: asked about the history of the broadcasters.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed that very much, except that I thought Lanny
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: for Terry and Steve Blast who you're looking at Steve
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Blasts to mean Greg Brown. If you're looking at historical
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Pirate broadcasters, I mean, you know, Milo Hamilton wasn't popular
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh when he broadcast the Pirates games, but still
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: is a fantastic broadcaster, a Hall of Fame Ford Frick
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: one who also called games for the Pirates and such.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: And I loved hearing the stuff with Ernie Harwell and
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: the old Tigers. When I was the broadcaster of the
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Johnson City Cardinals back in nineteen ninety seven, I actually
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: reached out destroyed a letter to Ernie Harwell. He called
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: me up, gave me all kinds of pointers, including one
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: I have never heard any broadcast any broadcasting school is
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: straight from Ernie Harwell. And it was when you're calling
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: a baseball game. Because I asked him when's the best
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: time to tell a story, and he's the best time
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: to tell story is right after a foul ball. You
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: have to get in and you have to get out.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: There's more time then right after a foul ball. And
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: nobody else is you know, I mean, you're only get
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: the ABC is a baseball broadcasting you know. I haven't
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: heard that from anybody else, so you know, Uh yeah,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: I mean the Pirates historically have had some great broadcasters.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Uh and obviously Ernie Harwell a reference there might have
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: been the greatest ever.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: All right, let's continue with the Pirates scene. Because baseball
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: history recent death of Bill Manzerowski and David Parker, there
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: are no living Hall of famers who played for the
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Pirates that are left. Who knows one if we'll ever
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: see Barry Bonds. This is right off your alley, Marty.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Do you think if you should Berry Bonds be in?
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Is that what you're asking?
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean there's only two that are left.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, well, I'm I'm all for Barry Bonds being
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: in Hall of Fame. By this time, I think the
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame has been so watered down with the
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Scott Rowlands and the I mean, if you want to
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: hall a pirates Hall of Famer, I don't think he
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: should be in. But Jim Leland and Uh, I think,
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: yeah he is in. I don't think he should be UH.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: But I will tell you this the but I mean
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: that would be a pirate who is living who is
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: in the Hall of Fame. Now the situation. But what
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, if you're asking me, should
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Barry Bonds be in? UH, I would have absolutely no
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: problem with putting Barry Bonds in UH because, like I said,
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: it's been watered down so much and by now, when
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: you have a David Ortiz but you don't have a
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: very bond, it gets down to well, did we like
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: this guy or not? And I know character is one
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: of the determining factors in deciding who the Hall of
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Fame should be in. But the fact that Barry Bonds
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: may have had a prickly personality doesn't refute seven hundred
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: and sixty two home runs. It doesn't, you know, and
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: you just it doesn't refute that he probably was the
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: best ball player. I'll go so far to say between
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Ruth and o'tani and the reason why those guys might
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: be above him, is they also pitched and that's about it.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, so I and they pitched. Well, well,
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: let's put it that. I mean, the old was a
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Daniel Ackron said, you know, Beethoven and Saeson was the
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: comparison he made to Ruth's pitching and hitting skills. Say
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: the same thing about Otani. I mean, are you knocking
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: bonds that he didn't pitch? That's pretty hard knock. You know,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking of other if you're telling you about other
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: living Pirate Hall of Famers, Burt blylov I wanted to
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: see Burt Blylovian get inducted. I love the son Irates,
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: but yeah, the that would be a pirate pitch for
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: a lot of other teams. You may think of him
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: more as a Minnesota twin, but yeah, he was a
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: member of that We are family Buckos.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah back, I think it's seventy nine, yeah, if I remember.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: And the interesting the interesting thing was, uh, you know,
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: you want to talk about prickly personalities, Blyleven had a
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: little of that. And but the thing was in his
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame speech he had had a bit of
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: a falling out with Chuck Tanner, who was one of
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: the managers that everybody likes. So you have to wondering
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: just what's going on here. You know, Blavin want to
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: pitch more innings basically, and it sort of stemmed from there. Anyway,
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: the situation came out I earned his Hall of Fame speech.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: He was talking about, you know, I want to thank people,
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: and posthumously he made sure that he thanked Chuck Tanner
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: and I did so. I mean that also speaks well
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: maybe of the maturing of someone like Bli Lovin or
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: so I. You know, but if we're looking at a
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: living pirate hall of Famers, there you go. I would say,
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: BLI Lovean and Leland are two that I can think
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: of off the top of my head.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean both arent anybody want.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: To gossage pitch the one year in seventy seven.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm talking about the two actual who other
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: ones that you'll ever see? I don't think they're going
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: to see any other one for a while. That was
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: the whole purpose of this question.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, Yeah, I mean, you know, I think that
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: it's spread a little bit hard. I mean, by now,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame is just a random selection of people.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: By now, they've had so many down years. I can't
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: think of another guide.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: No, no, I get it, I get it. I would say,
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you argue Cutch, but you know
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: there's you know, and I'm trying to think of someone.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: And I know.
• 36:51
  Speaker 9: Garrett Cole began his career with the Pirates.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, so Garrett Cole exactly. Yes, I remember being
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: a Pittsburgh cab driver and driving his barons around. There's
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: a story. But what.
• 37:06
  Speaker 9: He's got a Hall of Famer.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: That's a little bit. That's a little bit much.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: I remember they went with Cole in the final playoff
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: game instead of h aj So yeah.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, here's the problem. The Pirates had twenty years in
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: a row when they didn't have a winning season, not
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: another top ten spell. I'm hard to find a Hall
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: of Famer on that group. That's the only reason why
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: I brought this topic up. That obviously with Parker and
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Mazarowski gone, I don't see a role with anybody else.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: I would say, you want to know one guy that
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: I thought should have gotten We can discuss he's a
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Hall of Famer or not. But Bill Madlock is the
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: only guy with four batting who's not in something there
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: and the travesty of Madlock is if you go back
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: to when they voted on him, he didn't even get
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: five percent of the ballot, which is what you need
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: to stay on the ballot. Now, how four batting titles
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: doesn't get you five percent of the vote, I don't know,
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: but I think that goes into you know, there's a
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: lot of conversation about how Hall of famers. You know,
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: is there a Yankees bias whatever? When Don Larson can
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: stay on the ballot for fifteen years and Bill ma
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: and Bill Madlock cannot get five percent of the vote,
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: I ask you if there is a Yankees bias, I
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: would absolutely say yes, Right.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Well you're a.
• 38:27
  Speaker 9: Time why not Mary?
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Then here we go.
• 38:34
  Speaker 8: You know, as far as far as Yankee bias, I mean,
• 38:36
  Speaker 8: come on, if there was a Yankee boon.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: It's a New York Baseball Writers.
• 38:41
  Speaker 9: Organization, Well it was a Yankee bias. Alex Rodriguez would
• 38:45
  Speaker 9: be in the Hall of Fan by Now.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: Why is Phil Rizzuto in and Cecil Travis not? One
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: played for the Washington Senators, the other for the Yankees.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: He had one good year, an MVP year, and fifty
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: be and was surrounded by a lot of other good
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: talent and was a popular broadcaster. Travis superior player. You
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: wanted to a Rod. I mean a Rod is a
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: Seattle Mariner. So that's a very poor we're talking about again.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: By now the Hall of Fame has become just a
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: random selection.
• 39:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah, Scott Roland, Scott rolling. Scott Roland shouldn't be in there.
• 39:23
  Speaker 8: I agree with you because I can basement of that
• 39:26
  Speaker 8: era who were way better than Scott Roland.
• 39:29
  Speaker 9: But here's the But here's the thing. You're also wrong
• 39:32
  Speaker 9: about Jim Leland being the Hall of Fame.
• 39:33
  Speaker 8: That guy took about three out of the four teams
• 39:35
  Speaker 8: he managed to the postseason.
• 39:37
  Speaker 9: He helped them Markin there's one jem let me let
• 39:41
  Speaker 9: me finish.
• 39:41
  Speaker 8: Marky, You've you've had your turn. Now now sit down.
• 39:45
  Speaker 8: Here's the thing about Leland. He took three out of
• 39:47
  Speaker 8: four of his teams to the postseason. You can't help
• 39:49
  Speaker 8: the fect the Marlins, as dysfunctional as they are, decide
• 39:52
  Speaker 8: to burn their entire damn boat down and have a
• 39:56
  Speaker 8: little fire sale.
• 39:56
  Speaker 9: You can't.
• 39:57
  Speaker 8: And you can probably say the same thing about the
• 39:58
  Speaker 8: Pirates who decided become what they are now, which they
• 40:01
  Speaker 8: cheap out on on just about everything.
• 40:03
  Speaker 9: That walks and that is why. And you can't you
• 40:07
  Speaker 9: can't put down Leland.
• 40:08
  Speaker 8: During the Leland turned that team around, took them within it.
• 40:11
  Speaker 8: It took them within a sidbream slide away from going
• 40:15
  Speaker 8: back to the postseason. He took the Tigers who were
• 40:17
  Speaker 8: coming off almost setting the work the lost record within
• 40:21
  Speaker 8: two years, within three years to the World Series.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: What managerial record does Jim Leland old?
• 40:28
  Speaker 9: It doesn't help that his that he had.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: What managerial record is Jim Lean? I'm asking you what
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: magerial record.
• 40:36
  Speaker 9: His body of work? Have you seen?
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Jim? First of all, he did not take the Pirates
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: to That was not the deciding factor. Bunting in the
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: first stending with j Bell did not put the Pirates
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: to three division titles. Let's get that established. Barry Bonds
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: got him into.
• 40:53
  Speaker 9: The playoff, developed under Leland.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: And they regressed as soon as Bonds left. Let's get
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: that established right now. Next question, next question, what is
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: the managerial record of Jim Leland? I will tell you
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: it is the longest tenuere in National League history without
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: taking a team to the World Series. Judge a manager
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: or coach by what he does in the postseason when
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: challenge is equal, strategy makes the difference.
• 41:28
  Speaker 8: Still, he took three out of four of the teams
• 41:30
  Speaker 8: he managed. I'll be at the short stay in Colorado.
• 41:32
  Speaker 8: The three out of four teams he managed to the
• 41:34
  Speaker 8: postseason when they hadn't even smell the postseason in years.
• 41:37
  Speaker 8: He took a Tigers team who just three years ago
• 41:40
  Speaker 8: where he had a.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: Butt titled in Miami, a butt title in Miami. He
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: inherited Barry Bonds. Please when he came, you say it
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: hadn't been there in years. They had not been there
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: for six years to the playoffs and all this. If
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: you want to talk about the law long time drought
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: or something. The Marlins, I think we're in let's hear
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: they started in the ninety three ninety seven, so they're
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: in their fifth year of existence. He you know, look,
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: the if you want judge a coach or a manager
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: by what he does in the post season and where
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: strategy is equal, and excuse me, where talent is equal
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: and strategy is often the deciding factor, you want to
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: blame Barry Bonds. Why the hell would Stan Belinda not
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: pitching for a week when he was brought in?
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: Well, wait time out, then why did this?
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: Is what Michelle.
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: Obama was talking about the house.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: I'm not as britty. Jim Leland is the most overrated
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: figure in sports history, next to Colin Kaepernick.
• 42:50
  Speaker 9: Well, it's taking away. He's taken.
• 42:54
  Speaker 8: He took the Pirates further than any other manager you've
• 42:56
  Speaker 8: ever had in recent You know, Chut.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: Tan Or won the World Series, Marteau want it twice?
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: Clinton Hurdle turned a team around.
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: There haven't been around that had not been any.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: Winning seasons in twenty years. Don't give me the.
• 43:10
  Speaker 8: Recent years, market and you could tell the recent years Markie.
• 43:13
  Speaker 8: Since then, not we're going with the president.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: Hurdle, Hurdle and recent years. Leland hasn't managed the Bucko
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: since ninety six. That's not that recent.
• 43:24
  Speaker 9: Well, well what is that?
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: And he managed them to the longest period of time
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: without taking a team to the World Series in that
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: history of the National League. If Jim Leland belongs in
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame, literally every manager in the history
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: of the National League belongs in the Hall of Fame
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: because his record, his failure.
• 43:49
  Speaker 9: Bakers, if you.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Don't have the show, you're doing a hell job.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but that is one thing where I see.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: I looked at this guy when I was there an
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: opening day, the first day that he managed this over
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: zealousness of the sacrifice. But my goodness, when he had
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: sid broombat. I mean that's his first game. You look
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: at this, you know, the strategic moves that he made
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs, not walking Greg Olsen batting one eighty eight,
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: hitting Curtis Wilkerson for two ninety five, inning Don Slott
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: with two outs in the ninth and a tying run
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: at third base in the second game of the ninety
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: one NLCS. I remember all this sort of stuff. Why
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: are the pirates so bad because they've given an emperor
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: with no clothes deity?
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, Marky, you're the best. I never see a guy
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: with your energy and passion. I thought I had, mark
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: He's got more than I do. So here's what we're
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: gonna do, Marky. Okay, here's something you don't have to do.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: It's all for yourself. Okay, Marky, take it.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: You hit them Basman in right field in the right
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: field are at third base for grind out loud. I
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: remember those days. Bobby Vond, Bobby ben And and Darnell Coles.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: Please don't tell me about you know, he was the
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: most overrated. Sure Terry Colin likes some baseball lifer great
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: stretch strategy horrible and it says master strategist on his
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame clack again, random selection of people. By now,
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you it's fraud.
• 45:34
  Speaker 6: This is where you know, full line brawl and hockey.
• 45:37
  Speaker 6: Right now, I'm just saying, what a woman.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something. This battle between Marquee and
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: Eric to me makes hockey fights look like a little
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: uh slack mask because this is a heavyweight. I can
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: yell too. I was forwarded his boxing match every week
• 45:58

• 46:29
  Speaker 1: King with these two guys. And again, don't be offended.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Best in the city because you know, I had to
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: bring on Don King because I got Eric, and then
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: we have Marky. All right, Marky here we're going to say, okay,
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: catch your breast, gave any parting shots and because I
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: know you got to get out of here at ten.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: I need parting shots my talent. Unless you can bind
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: them and let everybody out, they get ahold of you.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: And again, Tony Best, don't take what I said about that.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: You know, Jim Marlin was extremely good at getting the
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: media to like him, even in his first managerial gig
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: when he went thirty one and thirty and for the
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: seventy one Bristol Tigers. The sports editor of the Bristol
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: Herald Courier would refer to the Bristol Tigers as Leland's lads.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: He had a very he was very good with the
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: media who would give him false praise. Like I said,
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: there aren't a lot of rookie thirty one and thirty
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: five managers who they call the team your lads in
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: that era. I mean, that was why he was able to,
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: you know, get the gigs that he did. He just
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: or last is long in Pittsburgh without doing anything that
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: he did and you know, I mean, that's and you
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: had and you had a washed up beat writer covering
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: him in Paul Meyer. And you want to talk about
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: great broadcasters, Lanny for Terry told me specifically he was
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: great friends with Leland, but he would never ask him
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: about strategy, and so he was able to run. He
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: was able to run rough shot.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you, HI had a good working relationship
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: with Jim Leland too, with the Tigers. He's one of
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: the favorite people I've ever had. Yeah, I had a
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: good relationship. Now, well you and Erit died. It's different.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: I'm out of that one because I'm staying at.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: When when you're batting the greatest home run hitter in
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: the history of the game in terms of numbers, first
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: where he can't drive in and he runs for five years,
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, Wow, I brought drop
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: him in the order and we win the division title.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: Imagine that. I mean, and you've got to look at
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: the fact that the man had some horrible strategic moves
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh and it and that's why they didn't make
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: the World Series postseason. My goodness, it wasn't Leland's shots.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: Who is it?
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: They had bonds, they had Bania, they had I was
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: being slch heck on an outfield, and they had a
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: cy young winner on the mound. And when they traded
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: for uh and when they traded down the stretch for
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: Zane's Smith. He goes six and two with a one
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: thirty r and the Pirates win the division by four games.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: Those were the four games. It was one of them
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: one none thing. I mean, that's how you know it
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: was a great manager. He put the dead dre back
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: out on the hill. Nobody else could have figured that out,
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: all right, let him in too long a night. And
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: then the seventh game of the ninety two NLCS.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: So Marky, do you have any parting shots from my
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: towns there?
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: I think I have my parting shot I just did
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: for full ten minutes there on the historical you know,
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: baseball and all that. No going back, if you're looking
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: at going back. I do like for better hits early
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: he's played what one game or something, I think maybe two.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: But Connor Griffith getting the nine year contract which will
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: lesson at least twenty eight. I found that to be
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: very interesting. First, I liked it in that the Pirates
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: are doing with the Cleveland Indians used to do when
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: they had a very good team in the nineties and
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: win the World Series where they had consistent winners and
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: they had been losers for years and years before, and
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: they had a good nucleus and talent, and what they
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: did is they signed them to long term contracts to
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: prevent them from becoming free agents so easily. Now, what
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: has happened here is that they've got Griffin tied up
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: through twenty eight. And that's very interesting right there. They've
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: got him for nine years. But the idea is the
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: analytics people tell you that you go on the second
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: half of your career, your production begins to decline after
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: twenty eight. Now, I mean, you know, everybody is different
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: all that. You know they're asking, but still I saw
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: the logic of what they were trying to do, and
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: for the first time, it looks like the pirates have
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: made I mean, geez, this makes sense. You're keeping a
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: good player. You're not just asking him to play four
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: years and then trading him away. Wow, this is great.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: You know, like a coal or a or well couch
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: played more than four years. But you get the idea,
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: you know, as soon as they become of free agents
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: letting them go.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: All right, Marky, I'm glad you could take a quick breath. Okay,
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: you're doing good. I am proud of you. Where you
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: get that gasoline, by the way, you get Mountain dew
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: or die Coote or coffee?
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: My gasoline that I last had, let's here. I think
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: I last got it at Mobile and uh down in
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: No seas so anyway, But.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: So do you drink monster drinks are red bull?
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's always coffee.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, there you go the coffee. So Mark you living,
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: I get a hold of you, man, You are the greatest.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: I've been the loudest here and I.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: Come to certain things out of you.
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: Doing the stuff that they do on East Tennessee State.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: I have many my towns, Johnson's, Tennessee, Pittsburgh, Florida, all
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: sorts of things. But you you will be able to
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: find me on TikTok at Marquee Bilson still doing one
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: minute commentaries on etsu. I get six months of no games,
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: so you know, a lot of stuff to talk about.
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: And the other place you could find me would be
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: YouTube at Marquee Bilson the fourth but just google the
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: name you'll find those You'll find those videos one minute
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: tell you what you need to know about a mid
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: major program. And I know it's not everybody's favorite team
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: in the East and his East State. Half the people
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: in Johnson City are rooting for the Balls instead of
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: the Bucks. But the fact of the matter is it's
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: a legitimate d one and what goes on there and
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: the goings on there kind of it's kind of like
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: the standard and the what goes on in college athletics
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: that makes any sense. It's as good of a barometer
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: to gauge the NCAA by as any And.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: You can find Markey Bilson here in a start and
• 52:56

  Speaker 1: Basketball Candy. Play you one thing. Stephen Pearl was under
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of criticism for his first year, but you
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: know what, Merger's n champion, so you know I'll give
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: him a little bit of ad here. There's one of
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: your resume includes a twenty two and sixteen mark seven
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: to eleven in the SEC. And obviously his quality wins
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: are against Saint John's University near Florida and Arkansas thirty
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: six and the Ken Pound an n IT Championship. So Katie,
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: give us an overview of the n IT tournament, the
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: matchups that you actually had and this one which actually
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: concludes at Maniston Square Garden. You had the Auburn Tigers,
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: Illinois State Red Birds, New Mexico Lobos, and the Tolsa
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: Golden Hurricane. Can't you give us an overview of the
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: n FILE four? So not only Candy only, we don't
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: need anybody to comment on it.
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: Auburn beat Nevada, Illinois beat Dayton, then New mex Co
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: beat St. Joseph's, Tulsa beat Wichita, Tulsa went on to
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: beat New Mexico.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: We're all looking at the final four, Candy. That's it.
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: Auburn beat Illinois. Those are the final four, Auburn, Illinois State, Tulsa,
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: and New Mexico. Tulsa lost to Auburn in the finals.
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: There you go. Stephen Pearl in one NCAA championship, obviously
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: a year from that part of the country. What are
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: your club? What are your thoughts about at least the
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: ston in Madison Square Gardens where your talks about Steven
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: Pearl first year overall didn't have the year that his
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: dad had, obviously, but he was able to at least
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: to take this invitation and he could build on it.
• 59:51
  Speaker 7: Guess that's okay, it's the NIT. Uh, it's the consolation Tournament.
• 59:59
  Speaker 7: I never really I have got it. It's like, we're
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 7: not good enough to get into the good tournament, so
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 7: well we want them to feel good. They they they
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 7: were gen Z before gen Z was a thing. It's
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 7: like the Participation Trophy Tournament. Okay, so that's that's what
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 7: this is. It's uh, it's I never really got it.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 7: It's yeah, that's great. I'm not a big college basketball
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 7: guy either, but yeah, the n I T. Yeah, it
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 7: was a big back in the day. It's it's kind
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 7: of silly to me they pay on comparison to to
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 7: It's like, oh and there were people. There are teams
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 7: like not going to it. It's like they have to
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 7: like scrape up teams to go to it. And I
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 7: don't even know why they still do it.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: All right, anybody else have anything to say before we
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: move along through the show about it? Or Tony?
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: They I T.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it came before the n cule A Tournament.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 5: I do think is lost is a lore, but is
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 5: more so because of the transfer portal and nil and
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 5: that stuff. I don't think you gotta you have to
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 5: go into the off season so quickly now because of
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 5: the craziness of the transfer portal. I think that's why
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 5: a lot of these bigger teams are pulling out because
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 5: you got to go into recruiting, because you got teams
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 5: like the women's Tennessee team that has zero players on
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 5: their roster right now. So I think that's what's really
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 5: affecting the n I t and uh, that's a whole
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 5: other Candle warns that we're gonna get well, we'll.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: Talk about on next Wednesday, now that you brought it up.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: Good stuff, all right.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: The one thing I would say is the NC two
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: A tournament. They're talking about expanding it even more to
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: go to what's seventy seventy six and now n is
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: thirty two teams, so.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: Figure all right, anyway, that's all. That's what we're going
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: to leave with a topic and that's that. Sorry, So
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: let's go out there and talk about well, shield forward.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: You don't want to talk about somebody on a different
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: sport altogether. You trys owner Sheiela Ford the some part
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: owner of the Indian Premier League team. Obviously we're talking
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: about the rochasthan Royals and a deal reporter whe was
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: one point sixty three billion. The Royals become the first
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: actually first Indian Premier League franchise to cross the billion
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: dollar valuation mark. So anybody knows anything about cricket, this
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: is a pretty interesting investor for miss Ford in itself.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: She's trying to buy into something that none of us understand.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: But they have a wide field and you never know,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: cricket might be one of those sports down the road
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: that could be something that more owners are buying into. Again,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: we don't need a large commentary here, Cliff, what are
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: your thoughts about what miss Fort missus Ford did on this.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 7: It's it's it's a financial investment, that's what it is,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 7: just trying to do their brand to get get I
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 7: mean it's big and big where is an internationally. There's
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 7: money to be had. That's why she's doing it. That's
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 7: it's purely a business decision, that's what you know. And
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 7: maybe maybe maybe she'll try to find a way to
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 7: cross promote the Lions with this and add to her
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 7: sports empire. That's basically what this is all about.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: Andy.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: Yes, the the group, the ownership group that's trying to
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: buy in. It includes she Ford hamp, her husband Steve,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: her sons Michael and Peter, and Denver. Broncos owner Rob
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 3: Walton reported one point six three billion dollars sale makes
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: the team one of the most valuable in the league.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: A little Bronco's owner was involved, Rob Walton, that's pretty good.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: If she's getting involved in that's not so bad, Tony.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: Andy talks about this one Look.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 5: I random, I google random stuff, and one day I
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 5: was googling the biggest stadiums in the world, and you know,
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 5: the one stadium is too. But the one stadium, one
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 5: of the two stadiums that's bigger than the Big House
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 5: where she's probably familiar with being in Michigan, is a
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 5: cricket stadium in India. So that goes to show you
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 5: the kind of people that show up for cricket games
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 5: around the world. We might not know a lot about
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 5: it in the USA, but they love it in other
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 5: places in other countries. So this is probably a great
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 5: investment for her.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like to comments all the way around.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 9: Eric, you know, it's not that it's an investment.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 8: You know, cricket's pretty cricket's growing, so you know she's
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 8: made the smart move by putting some money in there,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 8: and she's got some pretty powerful people to do it with.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: Tot.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 6: I mean, everyone's pretty much said what I was gonna say.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 6: It's an investment group. And I don't know a lick
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 6: of cricket. You know, I couldn't tell you how to
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 6: do it. All I know is it just looks like
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 6: you're playing baseball, but it bounces first. That's all I think.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 6: That's all I know.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: Because of you, we've grown soccer, so that's good at that. Yeah,
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: and we got soccer. We have hockey on night. Okay,
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: let's memorials. A lot of fans the park earlier for
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: some games. But watch batting practice. How about that? Right
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: in your neck of the woods, Cliff, the Baltimore Orioles
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: are allowing fan so I'll know they're going to take
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: advantage of the concessions, right.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 7: Well, actually Baltimore's concessions at least. I went to the
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 7: Ravens and they had actually really reasonable concessions prices. I
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 7: really surprised when I went down. I haven't been to
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 7: Camden Yards in a while. But that's that's nice of
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 7: them to do. I've the team itself is got off
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 7: to a middle of the road kind of like start.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 7: Alonso hasn't done all that well.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 6: But it's good.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, whatever the got to do. I mean,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 7: that's the beautiful stadium. But yeah, it's nice that they
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 7: let people go in for batting practice. I remember doing
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 7: that back in the back in the day.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: At least allow that I didn't go to that stadium.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: I went to the football stadium there. So I'd like
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: to get to Canyon or one day. Candy some talks
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: about what they're doing in Baltimore.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I remember going to the stadium when
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: I was young and you could watch batting practice. In fact,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: you'd go beyond. You'd go stand behind like the outfield wall,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: just to see how many balls you could get that
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: were home runs and what you could collect from from them.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: And obviously playing in historic ballpark such as Camden Yards,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: kudos to them because you know you're trying to market
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 3: your team and get better attendance.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: Why not open it up, And who knows, maybe they
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: did it. So there's pee Alonzo. They can watch him
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: take batting practice. Everybody. I know he's there, all right, Tony, Yeah.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 5: Man, this is how you advertise the Polar Bear man like,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 5: this is this should be a Pee Alonzo thing like
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 5: because you have somebody who can hit bombs and batting practice.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 5: I'm sure it's a spectacle to watch, but this is
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 5: this is as good. You want to grow the game.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 5: You want to engage your fans. You want to reinvigorate
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 5: Baltimore and the Orioles and say, hey, guys, we have
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 5: a good team.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 4: Come watch us. It makes sense. Now will they continue
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 4: to be a good team and people.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 6: Want to watch them?
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 5: It's still early, so I'm I'm reserving all criticism for
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 5: teams because it's still early, but it makes sense. You
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 5: want to grow the game. You want to feature your
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 5: players too. I think this should be something that they
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 5: kind of highlight Pete Alonzo with.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: There you go, gray minds thing. I like, Tony, that's
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: what I love about your my brother, You're the best.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: And I have an announcement later on today, but Therick
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: and Tony. Course Tony doesn't know about it, yep, but
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: he will in a few minutes. And I don't worry
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: about Tony Tony were go ahead and you're not such
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: kind of next to each other.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 8: Well, I mean it's great for Baltimore to do that.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 8: I mean, I've always thought it was really cool to
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 8: see batting practice. I mean, I remember they used to
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 8: let you back by now the players have really kind
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 8: of been against taking back practice in front of the fans,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 8: which I don't see why. I mean, simple toss guys
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 8: probably gonna blast it in one hundred rows in the
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 8: center field.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 9: But you know, I mean, good, good for It's great
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 9: for the fans.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 8: I mean if they want, if ools fans want to
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 8: go inside and see the overrated Pee Alonso in his
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 8: buck fifty six average, they can.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 9: Here's supporting after.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 7: It's still early. Yeah, I'm not happy about that, but
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 7: that's the Mets fault. That's not his fault.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 6: Another box, it's yeah, he's but yeah, I think.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 9: I nicknamed him.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 8: I nicknamed him swinging a miss peat because that's all
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 8: that's all he seemingly does.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, this early, sure, Yeah, it's gonna it's gonna happen
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 7: anyone he's got. He's not in the same room with
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 7: the Mets. You know, you didn't see last year.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he struck out a lot.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 7: They hit a lot of home runs too.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 9: And they also bet he betepit from Juan so in
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 9: the lineup had one not been there.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 7: He had done that before.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: He was pretty good before.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 7: It's not like you're not gonna you're not gonna say, yeah,
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 7: he sucked the year before. Yeah, they have bad things,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 7: they have bad seasons. It happens.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 9: But it's like he wanted what he wanted.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 8: He wanted that big contract, even though he even though
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 8: he was he was about even though he plays first
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 8: base and was and was hitting probably average numbers for
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 8: a first baseman this day and age.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 9: Because he hasn't equaled what he did his rookie year.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 7: No, he hasn't, You're absolutely right, But it still doesn't
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 7: mean he hasn't performed. And he had a good year
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 7: last year. He proved he deserves he deserved it. He
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 7: deserved to get what he wanted got But you know
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 7: it because he's he's he was the he was the team.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 7: He was that that player. Okay, you need to you
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 7: need those players. And he did perform. He earned it,
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 7: and the Mets didn't want him. I'm still upset that
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 7: they didn't want him. Now we get yeah, if Theiantis
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 7: is doing okay, now, but we'll see we're very We're
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 7: very streaky. Okay, Mets are very streakier. Our fans are
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 7: even streakier, are very extreme. It's like, oh my gosh,
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 7: one day. Oh they're gonna win the World Series next day,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, blow it all up. It's like, guys,
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 7: calm down, stop.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 9: Yes, they've been they've had a lot of traumatic experiences.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I can give you traumatic experience it all right.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: I got a few topics, know, that's okay. We have
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: one rivalry with Eric with Marky, now we get it
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: in the second hour with him and Cliff. I love it.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: This is what it shows all about people. We create
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: rivalries within the program, and we take entertainment to a
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: new level. Right Tony desimber City. Right Tony shakes her
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: head and clap her hand because we have second hour.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: All right, I'll tell you what, Tody. You're enjoying us.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: Give us your thoughts real quick about about the early one,
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: and then we have a couple of quick topics before
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: we go to MLB expansion realignment.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 6: I forgot what we were talking about.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, practice over at Tandon yards and let them in
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: are I mean I was when.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 6: I when I was growing up, we always went to
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 6: the batting practice for the Angels or or whenever we
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 6: went to Dodger games, and I thought it was like
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 6: a normal thing, you know. So it's good for the
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 6: Baltimore Baltimorials to do it. I just make it just
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 6: combine the name. It's just easy to say it that way.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 6: But like I said, I think it's great. You get
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 6: a show off. You know, some of the new acquisitions
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 6: you made, you know, Alonzo, Taylor Ward, and I think
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 6: they picked up somebody else. I just can't remember too,
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 6: but you know, they get to show them off, you know,
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 6: open the concessions a little earlier, maybe more alcohol sales
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 6: and more food sales, and no people are on the
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 6: Steam team store more so, I mean, not a bad idea.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 6: And you kids get to try and catch a home
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 6: run ball or a foul ball, and what kid doesn't
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 6: want to do that at MLB Park.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: There you go, one more best of all topic I
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: want to get to. Then we're going to go everybody's
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: favorite topic. Golo Erics and Candy will talk about this one,
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: probably on their own because it's in their hometown limited
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: to them. On Super Pratt, Well, let's talk about Adam
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: Silver says there was nothing he can do to not
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: the Luca Donta traded for for Anthony Davis. Anybody want
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: to talk about it? Does anybody agree with that? Tony?
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: Come on, I'll tell you you do a good job
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: talking basketball. What are you talk about this one?
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 5: I'm I'm a Lakers fan. I'm tired of hearing about
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 5: the Luka Donte trading. It was over, it was over
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 5: a year ago. Trades happened, and of course Adam Silver
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 5: couldn't do anything about it. I guess it was brought
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 5: up because they wanted a reference when David Stern veto
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 5: the Chris Paul trade. But that was a totally different circumstances.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 5: It was right after the lockout. It was a team
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 5: with no ownership.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 4: Hey, if an owner agrees to trade a player, that's
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 4: just what happens. That's the NBA. I don't even know
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 4: how that's a.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 5: Thing where the commissioner would even bring up wanting or
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 5: have an opportunity to stop it. If the Nuggets wanted
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 5: to trade Nikola Jokovic, jok they can do it. That's
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 5: that's that's the right of having the player the contract.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 5: That's just wasn't happened. We never seen anything like that
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 5: happen before. Dallas got rewarded with getting getting the number
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 5: one pick after having a one point eight percentage of
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 5: doing it right.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 4: That's that's that's their reward. They got Cooper flag right.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: Anybody else want to talk about this or you want
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: to move on?
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 6: Move on?
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, it worked for me. Let's do it all right.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: Cooper Pratt reportedly signed an eight year ascension MLB number
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: sixty two overall project with the Milwaukee Firs. Pratt was
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: actually hitting two sixty one with a seven thirty I
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: think what they call it whip or whatever in two
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: thirty one sat with actually an average of two sixty
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: one and actually two hundred and thirty one. The mnor
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: league gains and he thoughts Eric about Cooper Pratt getting
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: a little extra minds, I.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 8: Was sort of surprised they did that, just because he's
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 8: really a defense right now.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 9: His bat still has yet to really come around.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 8: He's been he's a great defender, and I think I
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 8: think when it's all said and done, he will win.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 8: I think he has an opportunity to win a goal
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 8: glove when he comes up. But you know, his offense
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 8: really hasn't come around yet. But you know, if that offense,
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 8: I think the Brewers, you know, were pretty opportunitistic on
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 8: this one, that they're banking on his offense coming around.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: Hey, Tony, we'll go to baseball people on this one.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: Else on.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 4: Hey, the theme now is pay him early, avoid arbitration.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 5: Right, And if you look at what his name is
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 5: leaving me what Pittsburgh just paid, what Seattle just paid
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 5: for minor leaguers, this is cheap. So hey, this ain't
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 5: one hundred and thirty. This ain't one hundred and forty
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 5: million dollars. So fifty million dollars for somebody who you
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 5: can give time to growth, which I'm sure you're gonna
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 5: want him to play soon. If you give him that
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 5: kind of money, that's not bad. You look around and
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 5: even you look at the rest of the century, you say,
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 5: we're not paying one forty.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: So it candy some talks about what the Brewers dead,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean the Brewers.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 3: The Brewers win based on young talent and hitting on
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 3: young talent, and that's the way they you know, that's
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 3: what they think. They believe the security that comes from
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 3: signing a long term contract while in the minor league
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 3: should take pressure off him as he works his way
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 3: up to the majors. He's twenty one years old. He
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 3: currently opened the season in the BREWERSAA Nashville affiliate. He's
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 3: a sixth round from the twenty twenty three draft, and
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 3: he's rated as the game's number fifty first prospect by
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 3: Baseball America and number sixty two by MLB Pipe Pipeline.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 3: He won a Gold Globe Gold Glove as a top
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 3: shortstop in the minor leagues in twenty twenty four, and
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 3: he's got an outstanding reputation as a fielder and he's batting, okay.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 3: They believe in his bat, they believe in his glove,
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: and they think he's only going to get bigger. He's
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 3: a big, physical kid, so they think that there has
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 3: a chance to grow into some power and he can
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 3: really run. So that's the kind of guys you want
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 3: to sign.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, Cliff Cody, you're welcome to defer on this so
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: we can get to other stuff unless you want to
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: add to it. I'm good, yeah, okay, fine, all right,
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: Rob Manfred said he can see the expansion and drantic
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: realignment in the near future.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 6: What I did on.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: Baseball, I'm going to do it here on this particular question.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: Is I'm going to go around the horn on this
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: very quickly, rapid fire this realignment that takes a little time,
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: and we have party shots and as well as my town.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: So Cliff, give me the top two teams that you
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: will likely see as add ons to bring MLB up
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: to where they want to be. I think thirty two
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: just too, that's all.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 7: I'm too, probably in Nashville and Salt Lake City, but
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 7: I think Portland has a chance.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: To Okay, no problem, good enough, Candy.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 3: Give me two Nashville and Portland.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Tony.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go Charlotte, Carolina. Homer, I'm gonna go to
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 4: Mexico City.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 9: Oh all right, Eric, I'm gonna go Nashville and Portland.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 6: Tony bring the Expos back to Montreal. And I wouldn't
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 6: mind Nashville or an Omaha team too.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: Now you know what.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 9: I'm not mad at.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: Sentimentally, Okay, I'd love to see the Montreal Exos, I
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: really would, and then put them in the same division.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: But Toronto. They don't have an NHL connection there but
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: the per session And there's reality. Montreal is no close
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: to getting a stadium there, and obviously they can't go
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: with Olympic stadium, so they need one in there. I
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: haven't heard of Tom, so conventional wisdom for me would
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: say Nashville is, and I would say, you put Utah
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: in there. And then Utah has a rivalry with Colorado,
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: And I tell you, how do you sell the word
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: altitude times two? Okay, that's what they have, So all right,
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: can you go to the graphics. We're going to talk
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: about realignment and then you like to go ahead and
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: talk about this. So let's go ahead and.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 7: Hear this part. This is an amination. Okay. This takes
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 7: the very heart, the soul, the very spirit, the essence
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 7: out of Major League Baseball, American League, National League. You
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 7: are taking away the tradition, You're taking away everything by
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 7: doing this. This is utterly vile, disgusting.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 6: What are you doing.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 7: You're taking everything out of what makes baseball special. You
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 7: want to tweak a couple of things here and there, Okay, yeah,
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 7: throw Colorado to the American League, maybe tamp it to
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 7: the National that's fine. They don't have a whole lot
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 7: of tradition there, that's fine. You do this piece of garbage.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 7: This is the beginning of the apocalypse. This is just
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 7: destroys sports at every stinking level. It's like, I'm so
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 7: pissed off about this, you can't even imagine. It's like
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 7: it's like Gainedolf and Lord of the Rings. None shell pass,
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 7: and you know what, if you shell pass, you better
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 7: watch out because Red Foreman is gonna put his foot
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 7: up your ass.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: Other words that you said, But tell me how you
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: really feel, Cliff, I love the reference Lord of the Rings.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: I haven't heard that one at all.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 6: The Red Foreman one, put your foot up your ass.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 6: That's a that I know.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: Probably I can't, I commented the other day. So I
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: think the fashion team that they were looking at there,
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: if I remember right, is what Portland and Charlotte is
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: Zach correct or Nashville and Charlotte. I don't know. I
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: can't even see. Help me out, Candy Or that's in
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: the Northwest is definitely not Charlotte and Ville.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 4: That's probably Portland and Portland. Nashville.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, yeah, Nashville.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 9: For sure is coming.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Realignment okay, all right, clip to anything else you
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: want to add, since you like to pick these of
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: expansion and realignment topics apart.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's it's not it's not that hard. I've had
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 7: this many many years ago of how they should do it.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 7: I'm still I'm okay with four by eight. That's fine.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 7: But he's putting all these teams like the Yankees and
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 7: the Mets in the Boston right it's all time of
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 7: Philadelphia Phillies together. But clue seems like it'd be really neat,
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 7: and so you're just taking away the very essence of
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 7: what baseball is, the American League, the National League. Yeah,
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 7: I'm okay with making I'm not all, you know, anti
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 7: making some tweaks here and there, rule changes here, and
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 7: I'm fine with that. Doing that just completely obliterates it.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 7: I'm happy to go to thirty two because now we
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 7: can go back to where I hate. I hate Interleague
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 7: all the time. I like Interleague when it's between basically
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 7: Memorial Day until about the All Star break, when you
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 7: can do that. I know why you can't do it
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 7: now because we only have thirty teams and you have
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 7: to do it that way. It sucks, but you gotta
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 7: do it. This this is just this is utterly ridiculous.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 7: It's an insult to the very game and everybody has
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 7: ever played it.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: So, Candy, was there any other graphics or is that
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: the only one you're able to put up?
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 3: I don't want all the other ones?
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 5: All right?
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: Can you just summarize them real quick if you can.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: My eyes are just bad. I can't do it. You
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: just real quick, go ahead.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: This one will puts Charlotte in an expansion in mid Atlantic,
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 3: and it puts Nashville in the southeast.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 6: Okay, so this is a whole different one because the
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 6: other one had a northwest to one right, right.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 3: These are each different ones that Scott get to the
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 3: next one.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: And Boden had one in there too.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 6: Oh look, another division for the Angels to be last ten.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 7: Sorry, Diamondbacks aren't that great?
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 6: Have you seen the Angels?
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm trying to give them a little bit.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: Of the game.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 6: Win the fight.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: They're not.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 6: They're gonna lose all. Is that intended? Right there?
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: Tony?
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 6: What's happened?
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 9: We don't need to switch. I mean, we don't need
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 9: the divisions to be even.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 8: We just need them to you know, we've had divisions
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 8: that are not even the Central had like I think
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 8: five or six teams at one point. Yeah, like the
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 8: the Astros are there, and but then when but then
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 8: they moved the Astros to the Ale West.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 9: Yeah, we don't need to make him.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 8: It's okay to have uneven divisions. I mean, gosh, there's
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 8: an extra. We have extra wild cards for a reason.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: Exactly, thank you, Eric. That's why we do have them
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: because of that reason. I can't that's enough of it.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: Any questions or comments about realignment. Everybody satisfied. I mean,
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: Tigers and the Brewers in the same division for obvious reasons.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: And of course you put Toronto and you sprinkle it
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: in there and the Tigers have good Yeah, I know, Cliff,
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: give me that hands. Okay, all right, Well what do
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: you want to see? Cliff? We got to make sure
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: we have pieced him on this one, because he's pretty
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: animated on Facebook about his realignment thing. Is your chance? Now,
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: it's your chance, Clippers, say it like it is. I
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: told you to get free rate on the topic, and
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: you got about a few minutes ago.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 7: Was on the way, Clip was going yeah around with
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 7: baseball and the American National League. You're gonna get You're
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 7: gonna hear a whole hell of a lot from me.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I figured that, Cliff, there's no question about it.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: And hockey you're even worse. But that's okay because I
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: see the baby everybody on the planet. But that's okay easy.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: I look at Cliff as a realignment and expansion whiz.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: And that's why this topic was built for Cliff on
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: this show tonight. I think about you, Cliff. Oay, thanks there,
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: you're all right. Well that said, I think we beat
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: this topic up as well as we can so, but
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go around the horn here with parting shots.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 7: Cliff lead off parting shots. Okay, parting shots. I have
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 7: to say, Islanders, I knew they were gonna collapse, to
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 7: collapse and what do they do? They fired Patrick Waugh
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 7: A little surprised they did it this late in the season.
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 7: They didn't really have a great roster third and fourth liners,
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 7: with the exception of a couple of guys. Helius rokn
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 7: is the reason they are as far as they how
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 7: many games they've won, he's been absolutely astounding. Last few
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 7: games have been a little rough because they've been a
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 7: little rough. That happens when you don't play good defense
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 7: and you give up to any shots. But yeah, there's
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 7: too many delusional Islander fans out there. I don't know.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 7: I'm I'm I'm I'm an older fan. I'm not delusional.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 7: And yeah, Matthew Shaeffer has been great.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: Just so you know.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 7: He's eighteen. He turned eighteen in September, and he's already
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 7: broken all sorts of records by Phil Housley, all these
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 7: other guys. And oh yeah, he he he. He lives
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 7: with Matt Martin and Boomer Sisson's daughter, who he Matt
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 7: Martin is a yeah, and he hangs out with real kids,
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 7: so he's like a little kid. And he's still doing
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 7: all this. He's one of the top ten defenseman league
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 7: and he's still doing this and he's like still like
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 7: a kid. So but yeah, that's my thing. I'm upset
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 7: with all that, but I'm not surprised.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, I.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 3: Have two Rest in peace. Davey Lopes, he passed away
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 3: at the age of eighty. He was a former Brewers manager.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 3: And then I want to wish the Wisconsin Badgers hockey
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 3: team good luck as they take on North Dakota tomorrow
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 3: in the Frozen four, and.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: Obviously Tody and I will be talking about that more
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: detail with the group tomorrow. Now you're about the Frozen four, Okay,
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: Tony glehad what's your party shots? My friend?
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 5: Hey, you know what, I would say this for everybody,
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 5: but Cliff, I want you to hear me out because
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 5: you said it as a Mets fan. It's a long season, guy.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 5: You don't want to get too high. You don't want
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 5: to get too low. And I am a Yankees fan
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 5: who needs to listen to my own advice right now.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 5: One hundred and sixty two games is a long time.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 5: Don't stress out over no ten game stretch. That's all
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna say about that.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Shot, I know.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 9: I hope you are listening. Marky, I hope you are listening.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 8: Because Jim Leland has a five h six winning percentage
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 8: as a manager, a winning record in the postseason twenty
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 8: five and twenty three. He took the Detroit Tigers to
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 8: the World Series as well as the as well as
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 8: on other deep playoff runs, won the World Series with
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 8: the Marlins, turned the turn the Pirates around. Granted, he
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 8: ran too bad luck when ownership decided to go cheap
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 8: and fire sale.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 9: That is a Hall of Fame manager.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 8: You won your ring, and you won practically everywhere you went,
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 8: with the exception of the one year stay in Colorado,
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 8: which people forget about, that blip on the radar. But
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 8: he won, you know, seven over seventeen hundred games and
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 8: a five or six winning percentage. There are managers who
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 8: have done worse.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I could tell you everybody's look forward to that
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: first hour win. Eric and Marky battle it out. I
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: have to be really smart about the topics. I'm gonna drug.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: A new rivalry has emerged here on those sports exchange. People.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: My former partner George I Corn and I when we
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: started this sow many years ago, would never realize what
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: we're turning into. Here, We're turning this into a legacy
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: people with Markey, we got Cliff, we got Air of course,
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: Eric Yelden, everybody, that's okay. If you don't blame me,
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: go back to some of our old soils. And he
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: used to beat the daylights out of Mark Man. People.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: All right, so's your.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 6: Well. I didn't think I would say this because I
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 6: mean before the season started, I did not think my
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 6: ducks were going to be in a playoff spot. But
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 6: now you know they're leading their division barely. They had
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 6: a minus goal differential, but in the last two weeks
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 6: they've lost six straight games. Since the Olympic break, they've
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 6: given up sixteen three plus goal games. They've only had
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 6: six games where they've given up two or less goals.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 6: They've trailed in every single game since the Olympic break.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 6: They have not led in the full game, not once.
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 6: Since the Olympic break. They're eleven nine and two with
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 6: twenty four points in that time in twenty two games.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 6: It's their pea k is awful. It's gone down from
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 6: eleventh to twenty sixth. Then only twenty nine games this
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 6: year where we have scored first. Our record is twenty
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 6: eight and one. But in the other forty nine games
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 6: that we've given up the first goal, we're twenty one
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 6: twenty four and four. We are god awful right now.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 6: We're losing the teams that are not even in the playoffs.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 6: I mean, some of the teams are fighting for a
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 6: playoffs spot. But we lost to the Sharks, we lost
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 6: to the Preters, We've lost to the freaking Flames, we
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 6: lost to Toronto. Maple's for God's sakes with Wow. Yeah,
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 6: it's just we're playing awful. Like we give up four
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 6: breakaway goals to the Flames, the Flames the worst offensive
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 6: team in the freaking league right now. And it's sad
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 6: that we traded away Ryan Strong because he wasn't playing
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 6: and what is he to do? He scores a goal
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 6: on us too.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 7: It's Ryan Strom, We've had him. He's not that great.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I liked him as I liked him as a Duck.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 6: I liked his chemistry he had with everyone. But for
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 6: him to go to the Flames and then he scores
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 6: on the on the Ducks this and we're like, we
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 6: just lost five nothing to the Nashville Predators last night.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 6: I mean we outshot them, but like I would say,
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 6: ninety percent of the shots were right at the goalie.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 6: It's like they were aiming to hit him, not actually score,
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 6: and we got goalie. I'm not gonna lie, but nine
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 6: shots should be aiming towards putting the puck in the
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 6: back of the nut, not hitting the goalie. Like, we're
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 6: just god awful And at this point I would not
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 6: be shocked if the Ducks missed the playoffs. At this point,
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 6: after leading the division like what to less than two
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 6: weeks ago. Now we're in third, and if we keep
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 6: going the way we're going, we're gonna miss the playoffs
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 6: because the Predators are playing good, the Sharks are playing good,
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 6: and the Kings are you know, just play play every
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 6: game in overtime, so they get a point every game.
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 6: So that's kind of cheating if if I'm gonna say it, Yeah,
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 6: they've gone what thirty one thirty two games now in
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 6: overtime this year and it's they just had an NHL record,
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 6: So I'm hired. I'm so annoyed with my ducks right
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 6: now I want to punch my monitor every time I'm
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 6: watching it.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: We'll don't do that right now. We need to get
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: you through this show and tomorrow. What you do after that,
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: that's fine, as long as you get your back and
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: ready to go next one. You're just kidding with.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 6: You Gee thinks that's what you how you feel?
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: Well? First of all, the last time you were on
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: your camera wasn't so good. You know, we still worked
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: around it. We still made it work and you got
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: to watch them pretty well.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 6: That was the camera got a new one.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: Oh that's okay, don't we're past that. I love you, Tody.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: I love you, Cody. Don't you forget that? Understand a
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: good my parting shot? Well, what the good opening act
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: for Justin Burlander with his returns of the Detroit Tigers,
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: because he ends up going three and two thirds innings
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: of five runs and one struck out, and unfortunately for
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: the Tigers, he's on the fifteen day injured list. We'll
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: see what happens there Justin Verlander. Although you know, again
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: they say it's precautionary on the major lest We'll see
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: what happens. And Jason knows how to handle on We
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: worked with them in Houston. All right, let's go to
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: the mind Town version of the broad Yeah, all right, clip,
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: what's going on in your time?
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 7: Well, we talked a little bit about the Mets, but
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 7: they're going back and forth. They started off horrible. I'm
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 7: still it's like it is a long season. I'm I
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 7: don't know, it's gonna be tough. I don't trust Freddy Peralta.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 7: I think he's gonna just go away real fast. It's
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 7: gonna go to any other number of teams. No one
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 7: will claims. Okay U Bantos is hitting now it's a
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 7: long season. I I don't know, I'm not I'm scared.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 7: I'm scared by them. Yeah, I'll take wins when we
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 7: can get it. I'll take wins when we can get it.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 7: But you know, it's sometimes looks great and sometimes it doesn't.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 7: But you can't go by with you. They played the Pittsburgh,
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 7: they played Saint Louis, they played San Francisco, and they
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 7: just got throttled by Arizona. David Peterson great, all right.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 7: Sometimes he's fine and sometimes he's not. He's usually a
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 7: typical fifth starter and he looks like it sometimes.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 7: It could go either way. And they spend so much
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 7: money and the Mets don't win that way. I wish
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 7: they would learn, Okay, kay, what's our.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: Foot out of your town?
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 3: Obviously, the Bucks and Giannas are headed for a off
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 3: season that I don't want to get any Bucks fan
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 3: want wants, but it'll be interesting because I also think
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 3: Doc Rivers will finally retire, which I think is one
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 3: of the things that the Bucks really need. And I'm
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 3: gonna leave it at that only because I know Eric. Well,
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 3: depending on what team Eric decides to go with, uh,
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 3: we could be doing a lot of the same, So
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 3: I'll leave I'll leave it at that.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: That well, you know, we'll go to all right, So
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: who am I with now? All right? So we got
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: who's left? Everybody? Everyone on the bottom, Okay, the bottom.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: We'll go ahead with you, Tony.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 4: Uh Magic getting ready for a play in spot and
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 4: possible playoff run. It's interesting to see how this goes.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 4: I'm predicting if the Magic don't get out of the first.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 5: Round, Jamal Mosley will probably be out as a coach
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 5: and the search is on because Mike Malone went to
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 5: Carolina and I know that was probably their top priority
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 5: as a coach.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: Great tough. Actually, we're going to talk about Michaelone next
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: week here in the Sports Exchange. Get a little heads
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: up there. Okay, there's a lot of I'm glad you
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: brought up. We're going to more details on that one.
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: Great stuff, Tony as always. All right, Eric, what's your party?
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, what's your mind? Town?
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 8: Well, the Brewers are off to a fantastic start despite
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 8: not having Jackson Trurow and Andrew Vaughn. Yeah, they lost
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 8: their first series today against the Boston Red But didn't
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 8: help that. You didn't have Bryce Terrang in the lineup,
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 8: who's become one of their better offensive players since last year.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 8: So you know, it's hard to win. It's gonna be
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 8: hard to win when you know guy. But their pitching
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 8: has been fantastic. We knew their bullpen was strong and
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 8: it's clearly and it's clearly is. And you know there's Kyle,
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 8: you know, Kyle Harrison is becoming you know, has become
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 8: the latest success story in the Milwaukee Brewers to get
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 8: turning an average arm into something useful. But yeah, the
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 8: Brewers are off to a fantastic start.
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 9: Stop.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 8: People should stop sleeping on them and should just take
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 8: and should just accept the fact that the Cubs are
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 8: overrated and the Reds always fall flat on their face
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 8: when it matters. They are the team of that central
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 8: and they and they've want there's a reason they've won
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 8: three years in a row despite losing the likes of
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 8: Josh Hater, Corbyn Burns, Freddy Peralta and more. They've won
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 8: three divisions in a road in spite of all that,
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 8: and yet people continue to sleep on them. It's pissing
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 8: me off and they need and people need to knock
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 8: it off because they all people all seemingly forget this.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 8: The same team that banged out fourteen wins in a
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 8: row and went to the NLCS for a team in
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 8: that market to make to make that kind of noise,
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 8: that's pretty good.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 9: So people need to stop sleeping on them.
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 7: They need to When did your World championship?
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: All right? Go ahead, Toby.
• 1:36:04

• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: actually goes up to Gainesville or seven foot nine Florida
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: center Oliver Rio is entering their transfer portal, he announced
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: on social media real obviously apparent only eleven games this
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: season after richering a year ago. Don't worry, Dusty May.
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: He knows a little bit about how things are done
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: in Gainesell. I don't know if he'll go there, but
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: mark my word, Oliver Rio will have no place. We'll
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: have no problem finding another quality spot. I'd like to
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: see it work out in Gainesville, but Florida recruits well.
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: And again I'll say in Detroit, congratulations to Dusty May
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: as well. He used to work at Florida Atlantic. I'll
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: go into more fau stuff next week. So all right,
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: the announcement I want to make is on July eleven,
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: Eric Cants is going to be taken over talking baseball.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: July eleventh is the first write this down Eric, and
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: the guy that will be joining on it is Tony Okay.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: Tony is gonna has earned the right to be Eric's
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: co host, and these two guys are gonna be running
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: that show. Tony, I'll tell you I can't. I've always
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: told you I would do everything I could to reward
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: you every way that I can with your great efforts
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday night and Monday. But I think it's time
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: for you and Eric to have an opportunity to do
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: your own thing on Saturday or scheduling it on the
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: schedule for ten o'clock am Eastern Time, unless we have
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: it to move it to nine depending on what our
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: comments are in the field. Candy Eviling will produce it,
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: but it'll be up to Eric and Tony to work together,
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: and Eric is going to be the host of that show. Okay,
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: to come up with the guests and make an interesting
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: I'm staying out of this one. The reason why I'm
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: doing it is I think it's important for me to
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 1: take a day off to lit the people that I
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: brought into this network an opportunity to move up a
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 1: little bit, get some quality tape, and just being there
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: going along with me on these cruises great. But I
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: think this is the perfect opportunity, Tony, and I'm rewarding
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: you this along with Eric together, okay, as an opportunity
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: to show what you guys are about talking about the
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: greatest game created. Football is great, but baseball to me
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: is unbelievable. Eric. You've earned it. You've been with me
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: for how many years? A long time. This is an
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: opportunity for you to shine and make me proud and
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: make your family proud. Tony, you are In the short
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: time that I've had you on this network, you have
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: been absolutely fantastic. You've embrace your role here coming on
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: the sports of Shange because you often used to like
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: the old family as I need to watch ESPN or
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: whatever and CNN while we changed the format back to sports.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: But at least this guy was prepared to go anyway
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: but loser. Most people will get ativity and Tony, you
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: deserve an opportunity to grow with us, and I hope
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: you and you both go out there and take full
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: advantage that I need to step away on Saturdays unless
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: I do something occasionally, but until July I will be
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: on that show with Tony and Eric to make sure
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: that I have enough sufficient topics so that these guys
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: are going to work with me. They're going to find
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: their own guests and learn as much as you can,
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: because after July eleventh, I'm done. So you two are
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: going to be sponges and you're going to provide input
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: and do everything you tend to do to make Eric
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: and Tony's show go well. And it'll be talking baseball
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: that we're scheduling at ten am Easter Time on July eleven,
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: So stay tuned. These two guys. I'm proud of both
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: of them, but it's about time for them to go

  Speaker 1: out there and do their thing. And anybody on your cliff, you, Cody,
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: and anybody else, there's opportunity to have a show at
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: some point down the road. As I begin to step
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 1: away eventually down the road due to my unfortunate medical condition,
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: which is it was just starting to get a little
